Chapter 24: Kang Peng's willfulness
Time is like an arrow, in the blink of an eye, Kang Peng came to Yecheng has been more than a month, during which Dong Zhuojun swept most of the two states of Jiyou, all over the city looked at the wind and fell, a little resistance was quickly pacified by Dong Zhuojun, the two states basically fell into the hands of Dong Zhuojun, Zhang Yanjun of Montenegro who was wandering in the mountains of Jizhou had hesitated to surrender Dong Zhuojun, but after a thousand Zhang Yanjun was annihilated by a team of 800 Dong Zhuojun in half an hour, Zhang Yan finally accepted the conditions set by Kang Peng, Led more than 100,000 old and weak women and children to surrender Dong Zhuo's army, Kang Peng incorporated his troops and named Zhang Yan as the general of Pingbei, plus Wei Shui Tinghou, so far, the last army in the two states of Ji and You that can pose a slight threat to Dong Zhuo's army was purged.
The war is going well, but other aspects are not so worry-free, first the news came from the southeast of Jizhou, although the retreating Cao Cao army withdrew from Jizhou, but plundered the people of Jizhou in Neihuang, Yangping and Huacheng in Jizhou, and occupied Jibei, Fancheng and other places in the Yellow River Xiaohetao, using the Yellow River antenna and Dong Zhuo's army stalemate, although Kang Peng had the intention to chase and fight, but his army was already at the end of the crossbow, and the grain and grass materials were swallowed up by the bottomless pit of the reconstruction of Jizhou and Youzhou in the newly occupied area, Kang Peng had to temporarily let Cao Cao go, Wait for the right time to annihilate in one fell swoop.
The second news that made Kang Peng very unhappy is that Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi and others have not been found, although Kang Peng's huge bounty has stimulated the people of Jizhou to find Zhuge Liang's very valuable head, but Zhuge Liang disappeared as if in the air, and never found the slightest trace of him, until the end of June and March in Chuping, Kang Peng received the news of the newly sent Dark Moon Group to Xuzhou, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi and other more than ten people have fled back to Xiaopei and returned to Liu Beijun's army, so angry that Kang Peng dropped more than a dozen teacups one after another.
Since Zhuge Liang has returned to Xuzhou, Kang Peng, who was poisoned by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly ordered the Ma Chao Legion and the Lusu Legion who were tasked with the feint task to withdraw - in fact, Kang Peng would not be able to withdraw the army, the Ma Chao Legion and the Lusu Legion were all in a hurry, and they were not ready to attack Xuzhou and Yuzhou in an all-round way, Jingzhou and Jiangnan were newly occupied areas, and they could not supply the army with food and grass materials. As long as Liu Bei plays a strong wall and clears the wilderness and sticks to it without fighting, once the military rations of the Ma Chao Army and the Lusu Army are exhausted, they will have to obediently withdraw their troops, and they may be counterattacked by Liu Beijun.
"Wenhe, you're right." After giving orders to the Ma Chao Legion and the Lusu Legion, Kang Peng complained to Jia Xu with a sad face: "Lone's expansion is too fast, in just five years, it has conquered most of the prefectures and counties in the country, and it is easy to sit on the country, and as a result, most of the Lone army has been contained, and food and materials must be filled in these bottomless pits, and it will take at least three years to digest these newly occupied areas, and in three years, Lone is really unable to go to Cao Cao and Liu Bei Xiaoer to settle accounts." ”
"The holy candle shines no more than the king." Jia Xu first patted Kang Peng's sycophants, and then comforted Kang Peng: "Don't be anxious, the three years will pass soon, as long as our army consolidates the hearts of the people in the newly occupied areas, and all localities can achieve food self-sufficiency, our army can free up their hands to clean up Cao Liu Xiao'er, three years later, our army marched at the same time from Yecheng, Luoyang, Xiangyang and Jianye, Cao Cao and Liu Bei even if they have three heads and six arms, they also remember that they can't resist the king's iron horse." Speaking of this, Jia Xu secretly glanced at Kang Peng, and wondered in his heart, with Boss Dong's temper of great joy, can he endure it for three years?
"Three years may not be enough." Kang Peng's answer surprised Jia Xu, Kang Peng seemed to be talking to himself: "Wenhe, you don't know how powerful that Zhuge Liang is, he can do it without spending a single soldier to quell the Fifth Route Army, and he will definitely be able to see through Lone's plan, he will not let Lone Shu recuperate comfortably for three years, and he will definitely not give Lone this time." ”
"The King." Jia Xu cautiously probed: "The king seems to be very taboo about that Zhuge Liang? Although he is extremely smart, he has caused heavy casualties to our army as soon as he makes a move, but he is still young and has not yet undergone a big trial. ”
Kang Peng shook his head, he really couldn't answer Jia Xu's question, he couldn't tell Jia Xu that he was from the future, and he knew Zhuge Liang from the history books, right? Jia Xu saw that Kang Peng was reluctant to answer, and he didn't dare to ask more, but he was silent, and for a while, the meeting room where Kang Peng and Jia Xu were was silent, leaving only Kang Peng and Jia Xu to close their eyes and meditate.
Kang Peng carefully recalled the record of Zhuge Liang in the history books, and wanted to find a way to deal with Zhuge Liang, but whether it was in the romance or in the official history, Zhuge Liang's strategy was always impeccable, although in the end, because of the national strength of Shu, Zhuge Liang failed, but Zhuge Liang's offensive and defensive strategy has always made Wei unable to develop its economy with peace of mind, and there is no way to attack Shu with all its might, and caused Sima Yi's dictatorship, which indirectly led to the destruction of Wei, and Dong Boss's body is not young. Kang Peng was worried that he would suddenly have a fart one day before he eliminated Liu Bei, and his son was still young and had no ability to suppress this group of arrogant soldiers under him, which was likely to cause the situation of the powerful ministers in power and the Xiliang army being torn apart again, and at that time, who else in the world could resist Zhuge Liang who was not imprisoned in the Xishu Heavenly Prison? What's more, there is Guo Jia who will definitely join forces with Zhuge Liang to fight against him?
"Zhuge Xiaoer!" Kang Peng suddenly slapped the table heavily, startling Jia Xu, Kang Peng scolded: "Gu dare to conclude that he will definitely adopt the strategy of attacking instead of defending, and if he drags on until Gu Yi's life is whimpered, he will have a chance to turn over." ”
Jia Xu laughed and laughed, it was the first time he heard that the emperor was alive and well when he said that he would die. At this time, Jia Xu suddenly had a plan and suggested to Kang Peng: "King, since that Zhuge Liang is so difficult to deal with, it just so happens that his eldest brother Zhuge is in our hands, it is better to let Zhuge write a letter of resignation, and promise him a high-ranking official to lure him to surrender; Or use Zhuge Jin's life as a threat to force him to surrender. ”
"You underestimate Zhuge Liang too much." Kang Peng sneered: "Gu knows him best, he is an ambitious person, Liu Bei, the picture is the status of one person under Liu Bei's army, above ten thousand people, there are already you Jia Wenhe, and Pang Shiyuan, Xu Yuanzhi and Lu Zijing and others, unless Gu Xu and him belong to you, he will definitely not be submissive to Gu!" And this son is not under Sun Quan by nature, let alone using his eldest brother Zhuge Jin, or using his own uncle Zhuge Xuan, who raised him, to blackmail him, he will not blink an eye. ”
Speaking of this, Kang Peng said viciously: "Wenhe, do you dare to gamble with Lone? Within three years, Zhuge Xuantie will die of illness, and he Zhuge Liang will officially take over the position of Liu Beijun's military advisor! Although Kang Peng's words were arbitrary, Jia Xu knew that he was like a god, and he was sure to be true, so he already believed it, but Jia Xu also felt a tight heart, if this is the case, then this Zhuge Liang is too terrible.
Kang Peng hesitated in his heart, and was thinking about whether to use Sima Yi, a dangerous person, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a book on the table that was slapped down by himself - it was a paper version of "The Art of War" from Chang'an. If you win for a long time, the blunt army will be frustrated, the siege will be bent, and the long-term violent division will be insufficient for the country......"
"Sun Wubing Sheng, the truth is reasonable." Kang Peng suddenly applauded and laughed: "Lone has a plan, he will definitely let Guo Jia Zhuge tie his hands, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei will be wiped out." ”
Jia Xu glanced at Kang Peng, who was still depressed and worried just now, and now he was triumphant, and repeated Kang Peng's recitation: "If you win for a long time, the blunt army will be frustrated, if you attack the city, you will be bent, and if you have been violent for a long time, the country will be insufficient?" The poisoner Jia Xu and the bad student Kang Peng seemed to have the same mind, and immediately understood Kang Peng's wishful thinking, and couldn't help laughing with Kang Peng, and saluted Kang Peng again and again, secretly admiring Kang Peng's rapid progress.
Kang Peng and Jia Xu were laughing, and Xu Rong, a veteran of Dong Zhuojun outside the hall, came in and said to Kang Peng happily: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king." Kang Peng, who had already figured out how to deal with Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia, was in a good mood at the moment, and asked with a smile: "Tiesun, where does the joy come from?" ”
Xu Rong bowed down and said: "King Qiyu, Xu Rong's fellow townsman, Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du heard that the king was conquering Jizhou, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he personally led the second son Gongsun Gong, the eldest grandson Gongsun Huang and the second grandson Gongsun Yuan to Jizhou to give the king a salute, and respectfully ask the king to reward him. ”
"Good, good, good." Kang Peng was overjoyed and said three times in a row, before Kang Peng possessed Dong Boss, the real Dong Boss looked at the face of Xu Rong, and named Gongsun Du as Liaodong Taishou, who knew that Dong Boss rewarded so many Taishou and assassins, but only Gongsun Du, who was sealed in the bitter cold land, did not participate in the Dong Alliance, for Dong Boss and Kang Peng, Gongsun Du was already very conscientious. Moreover, during Dong Zhuojun's attack on Youzhou, where his troops were already empty, Gongsun Du maintained restraint and did not grab territory with Dong Zhuojun, and now he has taken the initiative to ask for the title and accept the official position appointed by Kang Peng, and brought his son and grandson to express his sincerity.
"There's even better news." Xu Rong said with a smile on his face: "In addition to Gongsun Du personally coming to ask the king for a title, Goguryeo, Sanhan and Fuyu who are related to Gongsun Du (PS: they are all small countries on the Korean Peninsula during the Three Kingdoms era, and they were once destroyed by the Gongsun Du family and forced to surrender to the Gongsun Du family) all sent envoys to surrender to the king; Even the queen of the Wa kingdom, Himiko, who was across the sea from my Han dynasty, sent an envoy to Nansheng rice to pay a large tribute to the king, and thirty male and female slaves......"
Xu Rong couldn't go on when he said this - when the world's first demon king, Dong Boss, heard the words 'Wa Guo', his face had become pale, his copper eyes were round, his hairy and hard beard had been erected, and his big hand was so pinched that his knuckles sounded, and his appearance was terrifying.
Xu Rong didn't know how he offended Boss Dong just now, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and turned his eyes for help to Jia Xu, Jia Xu also found that Kang Peng was wrong, and asked cautiously: "Wang, what's wrong with you?" The countries are coming to the court, this is a good thing, not to mention that Xuzhou is near the sea, in the next strategy of our army, we will also rely on the assistance of the Wa State across the sea, and now they are coming to the court, the king should be happy, right? ”
"Humph!" Kang Peng snorted heavily with a blushing face, and didn't answer Jia Xu's words, but asked Xu Rongdao: "Where have they already been?" ”
"It's in Quang Binh." Xu Rong replied in fear, no longer as jubilant as he was just now.
"Good!" A trace of a vicious smile suddenly appeared on Kang Peng's ugly face, the smile was poisonous and cold, making Jia Xu and Xu Rong wet with cold sweat, Kang Peng smiled and said: "Very good, go and call Li Dao and Guo Yan, Gongsun Du will come down, and Gu must send love to greet him, so as to show Lone's sincerity." Kang Peng added in his heart, "Only those two veteran ruffians can greet me well, little!" Day! Root! ”
In a moment, the two veteran ruffians in Dong Zhuojun's army, Li Dao and Guo Yan, rushed to the order to come, these two Dong Zhuojun veterans usually kill people and set fires, rape and plunder, and the troops they bring are also the most corrupt group of military discipline in Dong Zhuojun's army, if Kang Peng hadn't turned a blind eye to their loyalty to Dong Boss and their famous military achievements, they would have been cut down with a knife, they were all generals on Kang Peng's blacklist, but one thing was lowered, these two veteran ruffians were indeed Kang Peng's ideal candidates for 'hospitality' of Japanese slaves.
After letting Jia Xu and Xu Rong go down first, Kang Peng put the legs with the thickness of ordinary people's waists on the table, and said in a big way: "You are all veterans who have been with Lone for decades, Lone's henchmen, Lone now has one thing for you to do, do it well, Lone has a heavy reward." ”
Li Dao and Guo Yan were overjoyed, and Li Dao smiled evilly: "Don't worry, the king, we will do it well, please ask the king to instruct, is it like before, go to the king to invite beautiful girls to the people?" ”
"Fart!" Kang Peng scolded secretly in his heart, and said with a grin: "No, that's the case, Liaodong Gongsun Du and Goguryeo, Sanhan and Fuyu and other envoys went to Jizhou to ask for a seal from Gu, and the envoy of the Japanese slave country on the other side of the sea also came. ”
Li Dao and Guo Yan glanced at each other, strange in their hearts, welcoming the princes and envoys of various countries, this should be the business of Da Honglu and other civil officials, how could they send two military generals? Kang Peng saw their doubts, and said with a wave of his fat hand: "Don't worry, Gu will let a few ceremonial officials accompany you, and you will hand over to the civil officials to entertain the Gongsun Du family and the envoys of Goguryeo, Sanhan and Fuyu, etc., the task of the two of you is mainly to entertain the envoys of the Japanese slave country, and you must give Gu a good treat, don't lose Gu's face, and come back to Gu with his own reward." ”
borrowed a hundred courage from Li Dao and Guo Yan to disobey Boss Dong's order, and immediately bowed down and replied: "I understand, the last general and others will definitely make the envoys of the Japanese slave country feel at home, satisfied with food and clothing, and not lose the face of the king." ”
"Two pieces of waste!" Kang Peng suddenly scolded: "Who wants you to make the envoy of the Japanese slave state feel at home? Who said they were satisfied with food and clothing? ”
"So what to do?" Seeing Kang Peng's sudden anger, Li Dao and Guo Yan were startled and hurriedly asked. Jia Xu and Xu Rong next to them were also inexplicable and confused.
"Listen up." Kang Peng said viciously: "When you arrive in Guangping, you will immediately take over the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people and horses of the Japanese slave country, entertain them with pig food and dog food, and if they don't eat, pinch their mouths and stuff them!" Then he plucked all their garments, and gave them the skins of wild beasts that had not been salted. If they do, let them live in a pigsty or stable, not allow them to ride horses and cars, and let each one of them walk with a stone from a latrine on his back! ”
"Wait, King." Jia Xu hurriedly interrupted Kang Peng's words, "King, where did the Japanese slave country offend you?" Why is Jia Xu not impressed? Your Majesty, if you let the two generals do this, it is likely to lead to a war between the two countries? ”
"Go to war!" Kang Peng said viciously: "Lone just looks at the Japanese slave country unpleasantly, I wish they would start a war with Gu, even if they can endure it, Lone will set foot on the Japanese slave country in the future and kill all the Japanese slaves!" ”
"But ......." Jia Xu said profusely: "But in the king's next strategy, we still need the Japanese slave state to cooperate with our actions, and the king will force the Japanese slave country to the side of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, which will be detrimental to the actions of our army." King, if you think about it again, if you want to destroy the Japanese slave country, you can also wait until Cao Cao and Liu Bei are eliminated before you start. ”
"Don't think about it." Kang Peng shook his head willfully and said: "Even if you really force the Japanese slaves to Cao Cao and Liu Bei's side, Lone can also wipe out Liu Bei and Cao Cao with peace of mind, not to mention that Lone's current naval army is the best in the world, and he is completely sure to block the shipping route between Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the Japanese slaves!" ”
Speaking of this, Kang Peng said to Jia Xu sincerely: "Wenhe, Gu knows that you are good for Lone, but this time you let Lone be willful once, Lone is also for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the Han Dynasty, for the sake of the Han people, there are some things, Lone really can't tell you." Hearing Kang Peng's heartfelt words, Jia Xu didn't say much, silently saluted Kang Peng, and stepped aside to stop talking.
"My Majesty, what if the Japanese rebelled?" Li Dao asked cautiously.
"Hit!" Kang Peng didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately replied: "As for how much you fight, you can imagine that they stole your wife, you can fight as much as you hate, but you are not allowed to kill them, you have to cut them down yourself!" ”
"Understood." Li Dao and Guo Yan listened to the music, beating is their forte, but Kang Peng was not satisfied, thought about it and said: "Also, there must be female dependents in their envoy group, you can play as you like, you can play as you want, you can also let the soldiers take turns to play, don't be afraid to die, chop it up and feed the wild dogs, and there are lonely ones to bear for you." ”
Jia Xu, Xu Rong, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were dumbfounded, and they all said in their hearts, "How did these Japanese slaves offend the Dong Demon King, and they could make the Dong Demon King hate to this point?" ”
