Chapter 613: Mr. Cheng Gong
Chapter 613: Mr. Cheng Gong
Chen Long knew that Diao Chan was protected by Ma Yunluo, and while letting go of the heart of rescuing Diao Chan, he quietly appreciated the peerless demeanor of the host Ma Yunluo. Unexpectedly, Ma Yunluo has studied the origin of scriptures, and he can actually export a chapter to tell the root cause of the chaos in the world, which can't help but surprise and delight Chen Long, and add more admiration in his heart.
While Ma Yunluo introduced the guests, Chen Long's light brain was not idle, comparing the names of the guests one by one and investigating the lives of the other party. But all of them are famous, which makes Chen Long feel overwhelmed with illusion. The heroes of the Three Kingdoms have been produced from generation to generation, and there are many great sages, and now they are believed.
Ma Yunluo's first introduction, "Mr. Cheng Gong, the chief military division under General Han Sui", is naturally the most important guest today, although his name has not been announced, Chen Long is still surprised. The person with the surname "Cheng Gong", in Chen Long's impression, is only the first strategist under Han Sui and the first strategist of Xiliang, Cheng Gongying.
In the official history, Cheng Gongying is known for his loyalty and wisdom, and followed Han Sui as his heart in the last year of Zhongping, until Han Sui was defeated by Cao Cao in Weinan, and was defeated by Xiahou Yuan in Xingguo, retreated from Huayin to Huangzhong, and the troops were scattered, only Cheng Gongying followed. When Han Sui's son-in-law Yan Xing intended to kill Han Sui and surrendered, he responded to Xiahou Yuan and attacked Han Sui at night. Han Sui was extremely frustrated and told Cheng Gongying that he planned to retreat from Qiang to Shu and attach himself to Liu Bei. Cheng Gongying objected, believing that Han Sui had raised the army for decades, and although he had failed now, he should not abandon the prestige he had established in Xizhou and turn to another place, and offered Han Sui a plan to hide in the Qiangdi tribe to re-recruit his subordinates, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback. Han then retreated to Qiangzhong with thousands of followers.
After Han Sui's death, Cheng Gongying took refuge with Cao Cao. Cao Cao was very happy to see Cheng Gongying, and took Cheng Gongying as his military advisor and made him a liege. Cheng Gongying hunted with Cao Cao, there were three deer walking in front of him, Cao Cao asked Cheng Gongying to shoot the deer, Cheng Gongying hit three shots and three hits, Cao Cao said against Chenggongying's palm: "You can do your best for Hanwen, can't you serve me?" Cheng Gongying dismounted and knelt down and choked and said, "Don't dare to deceive Ming Gong." If my master were still here, I wouldn't be here. Cao Cao felt his loyalty and respected him even more.
The intersection of Cheng Gongying and Zhang Ji occurred in the second year of the early Huang Dynasty (221 AD), when Liangzhou Lushui Hu Yijian prostitute concubines, Zhiyuan Duo and other rebellions, Hexi was disturbed. Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, who was not long on the throne, was very worried and said: "You can't calm Liangzhou unless you have to." "It is based on Zhang Ji as the assassin of Liangzhou, and the edict said: "In the past, Jia Fu asked the army to attack the thieves in Yun County, and Emperor Guangwu smiled and said: 'Zhi Jinwu went to attack Yun County, what else do I have to worry about? 'Thou hast outwitted others in treacherousness, and now is the time for thy thou shalt use thy skills, and I will allow you to do what is convenient for you, without first asking me for advice. He also sent the escort Xiahou Ru, the general Fei Yao and others to lead the troops behind him, and Cheng Gongying joined the army for him.
Zhang Ji led his army to Jincheng to cross the Yellow River, and his subordinate generals and garrisons all thought that the troops were few and the road was dangerous, and they should not go deep into the enemy's hinterland. Zhang Ji said: "Although the road is steep, it is not as narrow as Jingcheng, Yidi is a rabble, there will be no tricks like Li Zuoche, now Wuwei County is very critical, should be rushed there quickly." He gave the order to cross the river.
Lu Shuihu rode more than 7,000 horses to snipe Zhang Ji's troops at the mouth of the Juanyin, and Zhang Ji threatened to cross the river through the mouth of the Bird, but quietly passed through the county and reached Wuwei. The Hu people thought they had met the gods and retreated to Xianmei County. Zhang had already occupied Wuwei, Fei Yao's receiving troops had just arrived, and Xiahou Ru's troops had not yet arrived. Zhang rewarded his subordinates and planned to march to attack the Hu people.
The generals all said: "Our soldiers are tired, but the enemy retains his spirit, and it is difficult to fight them." Zhang Ji said: "Now there is no ready-made grain and grass in the army, so we should obtain funds from the enemy, and if the enemy finds that our forces are gathered, they must retreat into the mountains, and then pursue them, the road is steep and difficult to walk, and the soldiers are hungry and tired; If the retreating troops do not pursue, they will be attacked by the enemy again. In this way, the troops will never be able to rest, in line with what was said before: 'Once the enemy is released, the danger will continue for generations.' So he led his troops to fight in Xianmei County, and encountered Lu Shuihu's thousands of cavalry, who wanted to use the strong wind to set fire to the camp of the Wei army, and Zhang Ji's soldiers were very afraid. Zhang Ji ambushed 3,000 elite soldiers at night, let Cheng Gongying lead more than 1,000 cavalry to challenge, and ordered them to feign defeat and retreat, Lu Shuihu really rushed to catch up. So the ambush troops went out in all directions, cut off the ranks of the Hu people, attacked their heads and tails respectively, and the result was a great victory, beheading more than 10,000 prisoners, and putting down the rebellion. Soon after following Zhang Ji to pacify Hexi, Cheng Gongying died.
Chen Long carefully looked at Cheng Gongying in front of him, and saw that he was thin and tall, dressed in gray orthodox Confucian clothes, with a positive hole plate under the gray scarf, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, his eyebrows were slender, his nose was like an eagle's hook, majestic and rigorous, his eyes were shining, and he didn't know if he had Hu blood. This person's appearance was a little chilling, and Chen Long immediately remembered the Huangzhong Qiang Thorn who chased and killed Yan Xing, and he didn't know if it was Cheng Gongying's subordinate. If everything is Cheng Gongying's mastermind, then this person's horror should not be under Jia Xu.
Ma Yun said coquettishly, and at the same time as introducing Mr. Cheng Gong at the lecture conference, Cheng Gongying seemed to feel the gaze of everyone, swept around the audience, and immediately burst into light, and most of the unruly people lowered their eyes. Chen Long's heart shook slightly, and he couldn't help but put away his contempt.
Now that Han Sui is a general of Wenwu, Cheng Gongying and Han De are gathering in Tianshui, it seems that they attach great importance to the Hundred Clans Conference, and they are tracking down and dealing with the traitor Yan Xing, so that Zhang Ji and Zhang Ji of Tianshui do not dare not cooperate with Han Sui, which may also be the reason why Zhang Ji has no choice but to betray Yan Xing. If Cheng Gongying is allowed to test the ambitions of Zhang Ji and Zhang Ji's father and son, I am afraid that Han De will first go all out to take control of Tianshui, and there will be two more names on the assassination list of Huangzhong Qiang.
With this point in mind, Chen Long finally understood that Li Ru's abduction of Diao Chan into the territory of Xiliang happened to be a critical point for Han Sui to control the main forces of Xiliang, if he could seize this opportunity to control Jincheng County through Yan Xing, and then control Tianshui City through Zhang Ji, then Xiliang would inevitably be in chaos internally, and he would no longer be able to unite to threaten Chang'an and Hanzhong.
At the same time that Chen Long was thinking about it, Ma Yunluo had already said the names of several Xiliang bigwigs, in addition to Zhang Ji, Jincheng Taishou Chen Yi was also among them, and as soon as the name of General Song Jian, the head of the river, appeared, Chen Long was secretly taken aback.
