Chapter 284: Xuande Ambition
Yu Yang Mo came agitatedly, breaking the song of neon clothes and feathers. --------Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi "Song of Long Hatred"
It is said that Chen Long claimed to be Xu Shao and Xu Jing's senior disciples, and used the banquet of Koji Yi to lay out facts and reason, and finally succeeded in saying that Tian Feng and Koi Yi were moved, and Tian Feng asked Chen Long to help contact Tian Yu Tian Guorang, a friend in Youzhou. The opening of the Cangzhou passage means that the door for the Youzhou troops to go south has been opened, as long as Gongsun Chan gives an order, it will ensure that Yuan Shao's Jizhou will tremble. At that time, it would be absolutely impossible for Yuan Shao to deal with the two-front battle, and he could only withdraw the 100,000 troops of Yan Liang to invade Qingzhou, and the siege of Kong Rong would be relieved.
Chen Long promised Tian Feng to contact Tian Yu for them to answer, and Fang knew that Tian Yu was in Yuyang with Liu Bei, which was as good as mixing oil in honey. Chen Long secretly rejoiced in his heart, since Liu Bei is in Yuyang, Guan Zhang must also be there, Youzhou and Jizhou will meet, and he can fish in troubled waters, and even directly take Guan Zhang and the two into his arms, it is not impossible.
Finally, the wine was dispersed, Chen Long, Tian Feng and others said goodbye, and hurriedly returned to the inn to tell Zhou Budo about the situation. Zhou Budo said happily: "So good! If Tian Yu was willing to send troops, the siege of Qingzhou was immediately resolved. If Cangzhou falls and Yuan Shao and Jizhou are unstable, we can stretch our hands and feet, bribe officials, and clear the obstacles to reunification. β
Chen Long thought so and told his subordinates to make all preparations and set off tomorrow. At night, Zhen Mi asked about the current situation in Jizhou, and Chen Long answered them one by one, but did not mention Tian Feng and Lu Yi.
Then Tian Feng, Lu Yi, Li Li and others went to Fanyang, Nanpi, Yecheng and other places to contact the generals under Han Fu who were scattered everywhere, and secretly sent their families to Cangzhou without mentioning it. Chen Long and his entourage traveled north from Cangzhou, but two hundred miles away, all of them were a horse and Pingchuan, that is, Wuqing, which was located at the junction of the two big cities of Beijing and Tianjin in the later generations, and Yuyang, an important border town in Youzhou at that time.
"Yuyang is agitated", as Yuyang, which is close to Jixian County, the seat of Youzhou, the geographical location is very important, and it is the throat road connecting Youzhou and Jizhou. Gongsun Zhan's heavy troops were stationed in the suburbs of Jixian County, and if Bai Mayi attacked at full speed, he would be able to reach Cangzhou City in one day.
Chen Long and others took the customs defense issued by Cangzhou Koyi, and successfully left the jurisdiction of Jizhou and came to the boundary of Youzhou. The geographical features have changed again, and there are more hills on the Great Plains, which are the traces of the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountains in North China. Jixian County, Youzhou Zhisuo, is mountainous, and the west belongs to the Taihang Mountains; The north and northeast are the Jundu Mountains, which belong to the Yanshan Mountains. The mountains are undulating, as if the dragon is lying down, and it is really a place where the dragon is prosperous. The small plain surrounded by mountains is where Jixian and Yuyang are located, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As the ancients said: "The land of Youzhou, the left is surrounded by the sea, the right is Taihang, the north is Yong, the south is the river, and the country of Chengtianfu is Chengtian."
In the middle of the day, Chen Long and his entourage had already arrived at the foot of Yuyang City. Although there is no war for the time being, it can be clearly seen that the defense of the Youzhou soldiers is very rigorous, and the past merchants are strictly checked, and there is no shortage of people who search their bodies in public. It was Chen Long's turn and his entourage, and directly picked out the banners of Tian Yu and Liu Bei, and with a little touch, the city guards politely invited everyone to enter the city, and specially sent someone to inform Tian Yu.
Yuyang has been in the county for more than 400 years since the Qin Dynasty. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the characters are Xuanang, the accent is biased towards Jizhou, there is a mountain name called Yushan, and the county seat is in the south of Shannan, so it is called Yuyang. The county seat is not big, but the merchants are gathered, the land transportation is developed, and the heavy troops are stationed, just to supply military supplies, it has attracted many grain and equipment merchants, so the economy is developed, and the people in the city are either doing business or crafts, and it is not difficult to make a living.
Chen Long pulled the masked Zhen Mi and entered the ancient county town of Yuyang, in a delicate small courtyard on the side of the main street of Yuyang, there were two big men standing in the Xuan Hall, one black and one green, surrounded by a white-faced man. The white-faced man was sitting comfortably in the Taishi chair, contemplating, the two men in black and green had long been accustomed to standing beside the eldest brother to protect, and he did not feel tired at all.
These white, black and green trio are none other than Liu Guanzhang who has been lost for a long time. The three brothers went around in circles, went through hardships and dangers, and never gave up. Zhang Fei scattered all the hundreds of soldiers brought out, and the seventy-seven eighty-eight that had been consumed, Liu Bei was a person with dreams, and he borrowed soldiers everywhere to realize his ambitions, but he was displaced, and the road ahead was endless. This time he settled at Gongsun Zhan's place, which is considered a long time, but unfortunately Gongsun Zhan was suppressed by Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei has been observing whether he should go to Yuan Shao, who has a good relationship.
Since the last time he said goodbye to Chen Long in Yecheng, he led two brothers, raised volunteers, fought yellow scarves, and took refuge in the school captain Zou Jing, and finally became the lieutenant of Anxi County because of his merits, and nearly 1,000 people followed. But the strength was too weak to survive in the cracks of the big warlords, so he had to take refuge in Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Han Fu, Wang Men, Gongsun Zan and others, and now he is considering taking refuge in Cao Cao or Yuan Shao to protect himself. It can be said that I have been living a life of being under the fence and being displaced, and I don't know how many roads I have walked and how many times I have cried, but I have never complained or regretted, just because I have the dream of being a peerless hero and helping the world in my chest. Although these people are courteous to Liu Bei and even trust him with great things, they are almost all wary of him, and they are afraid that they will be replaced by this emperor uncle who has the great ambition of "recovering the world" and has the strategy of the heavens and latitudes.
When Liu Bei was young, his family was poor, and there was no one in the court, so he could only rely on the accumulation of military merits to become a lower-level military attachΓ©, and rely on the funding of large businessmen to gather more than 1,000 troops. At this time, he was in the Central Plains, where the chaos was the heaviest, the prestige of the imperial court was still there, the forces in various places had been demarcated, Liu Bei's reputation was not obvious and no one supported him, and he wanted to get a place to settle down and live in the sky. Although Gongsun Zhan accepted Liu Bei, he only wanted to use Liu Bei as a gunman to deal with Yuan Shao, the pastor of Jizhou. At that time, Gongsun Zhan was famous in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and Yuan Shao IV and the third duke enjoyed the land of Han Fu, with millions of troops and bullied the world.
Outsiders may not know that there is such a number as Liu Bei, Liu Bei can only try his best to be diligent and love the people, clean up the people's hearts, humble people, ambitions can not be displayed, and the physical and mental pain can be imagined. When Kong Rong asked Liu Bei for help, Liu was flattered, and the sentence "Kong Beihai knows that there is Liu Bei evil in the world" revealed how humble, sad and pitiful. Even though the two virtuous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are all enemies, Liu Bei, a bird, has never been allowed to spread his wings and fly high.
Liu Bei pulled two earlobes on the left and right, which was a habit when he was thinking, and gradually pulled his big earlobes and shoulders, which became the emperor's uncle's mark. Guan Zhang, who was standing beside them, glanced at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, knowing that the eldest brother was in extreme pain again.
Liu Bei is now fighting with Tian Yu, and the purpose is, of course, to pull out a piece of his own base area for separation. But he didn't dare to let Tian Yu see his ambitions, otherwise he might be beaten by chickens and eggs, so he desperately concealed his ambitions, and the troops in the city were always in Tian Yu's hands.
Liu Bei thought hard about it, so he had to start thinking about shifting his position again and looking for an opportunity. The northern heroes, naturally Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are the strongest, and the three of their brothers take refuge, which is a partial general, but I am afraid that they will not be able to realize their ambitions. Xuzhou Tao Qian and Qingzhou Kong Rong are both Wenchen, and they have always been relatively weak, but they may have a great chance to replace them. It's just that he has few soldiers and low status, how can he step on the threshold of others?
Tao Qian's Xuzhou has a vast area and rich people, which is really a big piece of fat meat, and it will inevitably be coveted by the surrounding warlords. If Liu Bei can see the opportunity and leave Gongsun Zhan to help Tao Qian, it may be an opportunity. Even in the face of Cao Cao and Chen Long, who are unparalleled in the world, Liu Bei is confident that he will carry out a vigorous battle to defend Xuzhou, even if he may leave this troubled world prematurely, and return with a horse leather shroud, Liu Bei will not hesitate.
Liu Bei finally stopped pulling his ears and exhaled deeply. Seeing this, Zhang Fei cautiously asked, "Big brother, have you thought about it?"
Liu Bei nodded slightly, looking at the two unusually majestic younger brothers, and a trace of guilt rose in his heart. said at the moment: "Second brother, third brother, you are all enemies, and I have wronged you by following the eldest brother." Zhang Fei hurriedly shook his head and said in a humble voice: "Where did the eldest brother come from!" Big brother's swordsmanship is unfathomable, and even I don't dare to say that I can catch it! β
Liu Bei laughed, his mood was a little brighter, and he said with a smile: "It's rare that the third brother will also make a sycophant!" However, our three brothers can't hang themselves on the tree of Gongsun, I have already thought about it, it is better to go to Yuan Shao and find a chance to settle down. β
Guan Zhang has long been accustomed to following the baton of his eldest brother, and he is not surprised. Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair and said with a smile: "Where the eldest brother says to go, let's go." β
Liu Bei couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that he was the brain of these two goods, but his brain was not very developed, when would someone come up with ideas for him. The fool has a thousand thoughts, and there is also a gain, he has already defected to so many warlords, and there is nothing to be ashamed of if he defects to Yuan Shao again.
Liu Guanzhang was chatting in the small courtyard, Chen Long and the others had already found a place to stay, and stayed in Yuyang that night. That night, Chen Long and Zhou Budo talked about it again, and it was also Liu Guanzhang and the others.
Chen Long said to Zhou Budo: "Guan Yu Guan Yunchang is one of the best tiger generals in the world. He was nine feet long, and his beard was two feet long; The face is like a heavy jujube, and the lips are greased, so that the green dragon glaive knife is majestic and dignified. Yun Chang is the Hedong Xie Liangren clan, with excellent martial arts, and the Tiger Prison Pass fought three battles against Lu Bu, and he was extremely brave. His sword slashed countless enemy generals, and his bravery had already left an indelible impression in the minds of Cao Yuan and other great warlords. Especially Cao Cao, he cherished him even more. β
"Zhang Fei, eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, born like a giant thunder, like a galloping horse. Zhang Fei is swarthy, his beard grows in four directions, up, down, left and right, his eyes are always round, and when he is angry, his eyes seem to jump out, and he speaks with a roar, which is shocking like thunder. He has a steel spear in his hand, a snow black beast under his crotch, and his martial arts even surpass Guan Yu. Moreover, I heard that he is both civil and military, You Shan Danqing, I have admired him for a long time. β
When Chen Long said this, he sighed and said: "It's a pity that these two famous generals in the world have taken refuge in the little-known Liu Bei, and they have become an iron triangle that can't be separated from Meng, how can they be broken?"
Zhou Bu was suspicious of hearing this, and said with a smile: "If Liu Bei dies, will these two brothers really follow?"
