Chapter 377: The Righteous Soldier
Yuan Shao led his troops back to Changyi City, and Chen Gong immediately asked to see him.
"Duke Ming," Chen Gong bowed and asked, "What did Cao Mengde say?" ”
Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Cao Apu is not relenting, and he has to go to the first level of the next item." ”
"Huh?" Chen Gong was shocked, and then said miserably: "Since this is the case, then use my head to calm his anger!" ”
"But I refused, don't worry about the public station, who am I Yuan Shao? How could such a thing be done? ”
Chen Gong was grateful, bowed to the ground, and said, "A certain life will be handed over to Ming Gong!" ”
Yuan Shao smiled: "Don't talk about this." Now that Yanzhou has been decided, I have made Ju Yi lead 60,000 troops to attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and I have made Gao Gan lead 30,000 troops to break Chengyu in Dongjun. But Cheng Yu was well defended and couldn't take it in a hurry. Gongtai is a hero in Yanzhou, do you know how to say that Cheng Yu will come down? ”
Chen Gong was shocked for a while, thought for a while, and said: "Cheng Yu has a tough temperament, and he disobeyed me a lot in the past, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to persuade him to surrender." Except for the strong attack, the only way to defeat him is to besiege him. ”
"I see," Yuan Shao's smile became a little stiff, and he ordered someone to pour wine for Chen Gong and said; "Please have a few more drinks."
Chen Gongfang was in a state of confusion, and now he is only a little better, how can he be in the mood to eat and drink? Although it is good wine and good food, when it comes to his mouth, it is just the same as chewing wax. Yuan Shao persuaded Chen Gong to drink a few more glasses, and as soon as Chen Gong finished drinking, a servant came to fill the wine glass.
Later, Chen Gong stretched out his hand to stop the servant, and said with a wry smile: "Ming Gong, I really can't drink it below!" ”
Yuan Shao gave up, he waved his hand, let the servants serving on the side go down first, and said to Chen Gong: "I still have some things to deal with, please take care of yourself." ”
Chen Gong hurriedly stood up and wanted to send Yuan Shao out, but Yuan Shao stopped him. Seeing the other party's figure disappear under the eaves, Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh: "True master! ”
As soon as he returned to the hall and sat down, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, Chen Gong thought that Yuan Shao had gone and returned, his heart rose again, and when he looked up, it was Guo Tu who appeared in the hall, followed by several armor soldiers. Chen Gong is the lord of a state, how could he have put villains like Guo Tu in his eyes in the past?
But now it is different from the past, he is now a minister attached to Yuan Shao, but Guo Tu is Yuan Benchu's confidant, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful, so he stood up and asked; "The princess is here, but what's the matter?"
Guo Tu smiled: "It's not a big deal, I just want to borrow something from my feet." ”
Chen Gong's face was full of smiles, and he pretended to be open-minded: "Whatever you want, just open your mouth!" ”
Guo Tu's smile became even brighter, he picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass, and said, "Tsk": "Good wine, the lord is really generous to his feet." ”
"Yes, yes, Ming Gong came to help, and I feel great kindness and kindness, and there will be rewards in the future!"
"Why wait until later?" Guo Tu said with a smile: "Cao Mengde said that he is willing to exchange thirty miles of land for the head of his feet." For the great cause of the Lord, I have come to borrow your item. ”
"Ahh Chen Gong took two steps back, pointed at Guo Tu with his finger, and said in astonishment: "What did you say?" ”
The smile on Guo Tu's face turned cold, "Isn't it clear what I said?" It's to take your head and go to Cao Cao for thirty miles of land! ”
Chen Gong looked at the armor behind Guo Tu, and the wine on his body suddenly turned into a cold sweat. Several thoughts passed through his mind, but in the end he could only smile bitterly and say; "Yuan Benchu called you here, right?"
Guo Tu shook his head again and again, and said, "The lord is broad-minded and has extraordinary strength, how can he do such a thing?" It's all just a matter between me and Your Excellency. ”
Chen Gong said miserably: "Do big things and spare your life, see small profits and forget your life, the general's words are fulfilled here?" ”
Guo Tu suddenly changed color and shouted: "What a boldness! How dare you criticize my lord! Come on, kill him quickly! ”
The two armor soldiers stepped forward to make a move, but Chen Gong did not resist, and laughed miserably: "Although the general has a heart, he does not dare to do such a thing, Yuan Benchu's move, isn't he afraid of incurring the ridicule of the heroes of the world?" ”
Guo Tu smiled and said, "It's not bothering!" ”
The sword flashed, and the head fell to the plank. Blood spurted from his neck, staining the pillars on the opposite side a bright red color. Yuan Shao was discussing with the generals, but when he saw Guo Tu suddenly break in, he said with some displeasure: "Why is the public so flustered?" ”
Guo Tu let out a long sigh and said; "Just now Chen Gongtai went to look for me, saying that he had the intention to emulate Fan Yuzhi, but he couldn't find a hero like Jing Ke, so please ask me, after he committed suicide, cut off his head and send it to Cao Cao, which can be regarded as repaying the lord's kindness in Yanzhou in danger of coming to help!"
"Ahh
Yuan Shao stood up in shock and said hurriedly: "How can he do such a thing?" Isn't this a trap for me in injustice? Quick, quickly summon the public platform, I have my own words to share with him! ”
Guo Tu's face was gloomy, and he said, "Chen Gongtai's head is here. ”
With that, the servant came across a wooden plate. He reached out and untied the silk on it, revealing Chen Gong's head.
"Gongtai, Gongtai!" Yuan Shao mourned and said in a mournful voice: "I want to be rich and prosperous with Qing, why do you leave me?" ”
The generals and strategists came one after another to persuade Yuan Shao not to be too sad, so as not to hurt his body.
Yuan Benchu cried bitterly for a while, stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and sighed: "Since Gongtai has the high righteousness of the ancients, how can I live up to his kindness?" Come on, send the head of the public platform to the Cao army camp! ”
The next day, Cao Cao received a package from Yuan Shao in the camp. Smelling the familiar smell of blood in the wooden box, he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "What did Yuan Benchu send here?" ”
After opening the package and opening the wooden box, Cao Cao looked at Chen Gong's grinning appearance in the box, and chuckled: "Gongtai, don't come to harm?" Hahaha! ”
He stood up and was about to say something, when suddenly a soldier rushed in, knelt on the ground and said: "Lord Qiqi, the imperial court soldiers and horses have been killed from Henan, and they have already passed Zhongmu and defeated Yuan Shaojun's Jiang Qi department!" ”
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this; "Oh, Chen Cheng came quickly, but he was still a step slower."
Another herald rushed in and said loudly: "Report, the imperial army is divided into three routes, all the way to Dongjun, all the way to Yuzhou, Chen Thief led the Chinese army and went straight to Yongqiu!" ”
"The soldiers are divided into three ways?" Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the map on the desk, he stretched out his hand and compared it on the map of Yanzhou for a while, and said to himself: "How can the soldiers be divided into three ways?" Chen Wenzheng would not be ignorant of the truth of concentrating troops, could it be that there is fraud in it? ”
He pondered for a moment, then commanded in a loud voice; "Someone, send an order to the whole army, immediately pull out, let's go to Xiangyi!"
Xiangyi is not far from Yongqiu, which is where Weizi's hometown is located. When Cao Cao raised his army, he received help from the Wei family. The fact that he was able to quickly occupy half of Yanzhou this time also has a credit to Weizi. Moreover, Xiangyi is closer to Yuzhou, and he chose here because he wanted to completely defeat Chen Cheng's main force with the help of favorable geography and people.
Cao Cao governed the army harshly, so the military discipline was strict, and the order was forbidden. The army moved quickly, and after receiving the order, it quickly pulled out its camp and moved west. When Cao's army took action, Yuan Shao also received the news that the imperial court soldiers and horses were coming east. He didn't care about sending people to accept the city that Cao Cao had let out, so he immediately summoned the generals of the army to come to the big tent to discuss matters.
"I heard that Chen Chengbing divided into three ways and went all the way to Dongjun, this is to cut off our back road?"
Yuan Shao asked everyone: "Do you want to call Ju Yi back first?" ”
Everyone talked about it, and they all thought that the soldiers and horses that attacked Xuzhou should be withdrawn first. Although there are only 60,000 or 70,000 people in Ju Yi's hands, they are all the elites of the Jizhou army, and they are concentrated Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other famous generals in Hebei.
The judge said: "I didn't expect the imperial court soldiers to come so quickly!" We should join forces with Cao Mengde to break the Chen thief together! ”
"Yes, Yanzhou is newly determined, and there is Dongjun in the rear, so it is not appropriate to continue to attack Xuzhou!"
Seeing that everyone's opinions were rare, Yuan Shao immediately clapped his hands and said: "Give Ju Yi an order, let Ju Yi not attack Xuzhou first, and rush back immediately with the army!" ”
He asked again: "Chen thief soldiers are divided into three ways, and we don't need to pay attention to the other two." Only Xu Rong led the troops to Dongjun, which is very worrying, who can lead the troops? ”
Chun Yuqiong came out of the ranks, raised his head and said: "I am willing to lead the troops to behead Xu Rong and dedicate it to the lord's account!" ”
Chun Yuqiong used to be on an equal footing with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and at that time they were all one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, but it was obvious that Chun Yuqiong's ability was not as good as Cao Cao's, and his family background was not as good as Yuan Shao, so he was getting worse and worse. He is now not only steadily suppressed by Ju Yi, but also compared to Yan Liangwen and others.
Now that the four courtyard pillars of Hebei are not there, Chun Yuqiong is overjoyed in her heart, and secretly said: I should make meritorious service!
Chun Yuqiong's courage is also famous in the army in Hebei. Yuan Shao knew that Chun Yuqiong was known for his bravery, but he was so bad at leading troops to fight. In the fight with Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zhan, Chun Yuqiong's performance was mediocre, far less brilliant than Ju Yi and others. But he doesn't have any generals at hand now, so he can only let Chun Yuqiong go.
Yuan Shao advised: "Xu Rong once followed Chen Cheng to defeat the Huns, and later broke Cao Cao in Yanzhou, he is a famous general in the world, not to be underestimated. If you go this time, as long as you block Xu Rong, you can't rush into battle, wait until Ju Yida returns with the army, and then it's not too late to fight the enemy! ”
Chun Yuqiong said loudly: "Although the lord can rest assured, with me Chun Yuqiong, the back road is the peace of Mount Tai!" ”
Another person flashed out on the side, but it was Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan said in a loud voice: "Father, my son is willing to go with General Chunyu Qiqiong to meet the enemy army!" ”
Although Yuan Shao prefers his youngest son Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan is also his own son, and he doesn't want him to take risks, so he said: "The sword has no eyes on the battle array, you better follow me." ”
Yuan Tan said in his heart: If you follow your father, how can you make great achievements?
After he was driven back to Yecheng by Cao Cao from Yuzhou, he was ridiculed by many people, and he had already held his breath in his heart. Yuan Shao had no choice but to divide 5,000 of his pro-army to Yuan Tan, and advised: "Be careful, don't fight!" ”
Yuan Tan was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "No! ”
