Chapter 32 The Palm of the Palm is Creation
Zhang Yide was in a trance for a while, but he couldn't bear it: "Dare to ask Dong Jun, how to take a thousand county soldiers to recover the ten cities in the south of the county?" β
Of course, Dong Zhao guessed that the other party would ask this question, but he put down his twisted hand and clasped his hands on the couch and chuckled: "Yide has asked this question, then do you know what the ten cities in the south of the county look like now?" β
"I passed by when I came, and I knew a little." Zhang Fei replied. "The so-called ten cities in the south of the county refer to the eight counties and ten cities south of Juluze, except for Guangzong, which is the farthest and only south of Zhangshui, and now it is purchased by Xu Ziyuan with an official position, all of which belong to the Yuan family. When I came, I checked, each city has its own basis, the big city is 1,500 people, the small city is 1,000 people, or even less than 1,000 people, in addition, next to the small city of Puluojin in the southeast of Juluze, because it is at the front, threatening the gall pottery, it can be called a critical location, so there are Xu Ziyuan personally in charge, there are about 3,000 people...... In any case, there must be a total of 10,000 and a half. β
"That's a good point." Dong Zhao also followed suit. "This is actually the advantage of having a local clan in power...... Yide has also been in the local area for a long time, and he should know that the ordinary government has half of the strength to confront these local clans, but the local manpower and material resources are in their hands, so it is inevitable to do things with half the effort, and this is the case with Sun Yan here; And now, Yuan Benchu has been lenient, and even Xu Ziyuan has simply handed over his local duties, which naturally turns around and gets twice the result with half the effort, which is also the biggest difference between him and our princes...... However, this approach also has great disadvantages, and it is precisely the basis for thinking that Yide can recover ten cities with a thousand men and horses. β
"I want to hear about it." When Zhang Fei heard this, he became more and more serious.
"Yide, please think about it, these people already have the reality of the place, once they were given an official status by Yuan Benchu through the troubled times, that is, they have the name of the place, then they have both the name and the truth, and they are the lords of the land." At this point, Dong Zhao couldn't help but sneer. "And since he is the lord of a land, he naturally uses it for his own use, regards his county and city as his private property, regards other counties and other cities as enemy countries, and takes the rest of the big clans under his rule as a hidden worry...... In other words, at this moment, these cities in the south of the county, named one, actually have their own thoughts, watch out for each other, and even sit in the city to doubt the old days of the county and disobey themselves...... In a word, this honesty is the so-called autumn of suspicion up and down, left and right! β
Zhang Fei had already heard some clues, but he slowly bowed his head: "Dong Jun is saying that I will lead the troops to the south of the county, if the progress is fast enough, so that Xu Ziyuan, the only person who coordinates, has no time to react, then his generation will not help each other at all, and even will not gather troops at all?" β
Dong Zhao shook his head slowly: "Aggressiveness and speed are naturally necessary, and the sooner the better, but even if Yide can't sweep quickly, there is no need to worry that Xu Ziyuan can easily return to the teacher and gather people...... Don't hide Yide, I have two small strategies to help you when you go south this time, maybe it will have some effect, one is a strategy to disrupt the enemy, and the other is a strategy to confuse the enemy! β
Zhang Fei was stunned on the spot.
"The strategy of chaotic enemy is to say that those big clans in the south of the county, I have always known their foundation and understood their grievances and disputes, so this afternoon I have written dozens of fake letters according to their temperament, strength, old and new friendships, and resentment." Dong Zhao was not in a hurry, and continued to sit on the couch and said calmly. The letter is full of conspiracy, conspiracy, threats, and provocative words, once Yide sends troops, there will be dozens of officials from local backgrounds who pretend to be envoys and go south alone at the same time, sending a random breath, and then the military actions of Yide will inevitably make them suspicious and antagonistic to each other, and maybe even attack and reject each other. And the strategy to confuse the enemy is even simpler...... Yide might as well get rid of his military uniform, lead a thousand soldiers to secretly cross through the middle of Pujin, don't touch Ren County and Pingxiang first, but pretend to be an official appointed by Xu You, go to the Guangping and Nanhe areas behind them, and then suddenly launch a wanton attack! β
Saying that, just when Zhang Yide was stunned and didn't know what to say, Dong Zhaofu took out a document from his arms and put it in front of the other party, and then showed a distressed gesture on his face: "Yide, please see, this is Xu Ziyuan's document for selling officials, Sima of Qianshi Beibu, stamped with Yuan Shao's chariot and cavalry general's seal, full of genuine goods, you hold this document, although you are swaggering, pretending to be reinforcements from Anping, and arrogantly traveling south from Juluze, maybe you can open the city gate...... There is only one thousand-stone official position, but it cost me a full two thousand! Two thousand guan, which is more expensive than what Emperor Xianling sold, that is, Xu Ziyuan can sell it at this price! β
After an unknown period of time, Zhang Fei reacted, but he did not put away the document in a hurry, but directly bowed to Dong Zhao: "The world is like chess, it is all expected by the wise, Dong Jun is so divided, it is simply the enemy of the ten cities in the applause, if you can't restore the ten cities in the south of the county, I'm afraid it will be difficult for even a martial artist to call himself." β
"Yide doesn't have to be so polite." Seeing this, Dong Zhao also jumped off the house and hurriedly returned the salute. "People have strengths, things have points, if there is no virtue as a support, my planning and arrangement, is just a piece of paper, just to make people laugh, and then it depends on how Yide is majestic."
When Zhang Fei heard this, he changed his previous restraint, but he responded with high spirits, and no longer hesitated, like a tiger waking up and a cheetah springing his waist.
Since the two of them agreed, they were not people who dragged mud and water, so on the morning of the second day, Zhang Fei directly sent troops, took Sima Zhi, and led a thousand county soldiers who did not even have military uniforms, only waving the banner of Chinese characters, and hurried to the southeast...... It is said that it is going to the east of Julu Ze? Stationed in the county, refuse? Xu Yu in the small town of Puluojin in the south of the county.
In this regard, when I saw Zhang Fei yesterday, I only felt that this person was a brave man, and Dong Zhao was still powerless, but Sun Ling, who was still powerless, did not have anything superfluous to say, just took Sima Zhi with the army, and also sent his brother Sun Xing as a deputy general to accompany the army.
However, what he never imagined was that when the thousand soldiers marched to the edge of Juluze, his younger brother was simply cut in two by Zhang Fei and thrown into Julu Daze, which became Zhang Yide's means of standing up. Then, the whole army of 1,000 people immediately turned to the south, and took advantage of the abundance of the water system in autumn and the convenience of Daze to sail, boarded the ship that Dong Zhao had prepared long ago, and went directly south to the south of the county.
Three days later, on the twenty-third day of August, Zhang Yide, who pretended to be Yuan Jun and appeared in the heart of the south of the county, easily deceived the gate of the county seat of Nanhe County, beheaded the guard general and the pseudo county magistrate, and annexed them.
On the twenty-fifth day, Zhang Fei, who had hastily appointed a person to be the county magistrate, and then abandoned Nanhe and led the whole army to travel east with two days of dry food and light soldiers, and went up the rope at night, raided Guangping successfully, and then went to the next city;
On the twenty-sixth day, Zhang Fei, who still threw down the city and attacked the east with 3,000 soldiers, came to the city of Quzhou on the shore of Zhangshui with 3,000 troops, and the pseudo-county commander in the city was frightened and thought that General Wei's army had passed Juluze, and was about to cross the Zhangshui to attack Yuan Shao, and he actually surrendered directly, and at this time, Xu Ziyuan, who was in the small city of Puluojin, learned that there was a big fork behind him, but it was too late for anything - because of Zhang Fei's wanton behavior and Dong Zhao's fake messenger who didn't care whether he was exposed or not, he was still flying all over the sky. The messenger of Xu Yu could no longer be trusted by anyone;
On the twenty-eighth day, he ignored the Guangzong City, which was hanging independently in the south of Zhangshui and was about to break into the Qinghe River...... In fact, the eight counties and ten cities in Dong Zhao's mouth are not counted in this city...... Zhang Yide chose to gather superior forces and go directly upriver to the southwest, but he successively captured the southernmost counties of Julu and Lieren in one day;
On the twenty-ninth day, Zhang Fei, who had already won five cities and had 5,000 people in his hands, actually chose to make a detour to Quliang County, Wei County, to return to the north, but he was stunned and caught off guard by the Quliang defenders again.
On August 30, Zhang Fei sent 2,000 soldiers, including 1,000 soldiers and horses brought from the north of the county at the beginning, and handed them over to Sima Zhi, and asked them to stay in Quliang, a place separated from Handan by only one Ji Ze...... And the soldiers were the same as before, they had no room to think, so they continued to run out of the battle with Zhang Fei in a daze;
On the first day of September, Zhang Fei broke through the county seat of Guangnian;
On the third day of the first month of September, Zhang Yide returned to the Nanhe county he occupied at the beginning, and had gathered 4,000 troops, and recovered more than half of the south of the county, and at this time, it was only ten days after he first broke through the city...... Zhang Yide immediately made a decision, attacked head-on, the two armies met at dusk, Zhang Yide rushed to the front, penetrated the enemy formation, the whole army beheaded three hundred in one face, and forced them to surrender on the spot...... After careful calculation, at this time, there was only one small city left in Uraokjin that had not yet been recovered;
On September 4, Zhang Yide still did not give these generals any time to think about the surrender of troops, and actually sent a letter to Juluze to inform Dong Gongren, while the horse did not stop, and waved the whole army of more than 6,000 people to the north, directly to Puluojin;
On the 6th day of the first month of September, Zhang Fei again encountered the enemy on the banks of the Hebei River, a river system that covers almost the entire Jizhou region...... It turned out that although Xu Ziyuan was caught off guard by Zhang Fei and was inevitably a little dazed, his wisdom was there, but he had already sensed the danger, so he ordered the whole army to retreat to Anping on the other side of Zhangshui to take refuge, and at the same time crossed the river first, went to Anping and led thousands of soldiers and horses to come to respond, and before forcing the soldiers and horses of Ren County, Pingxiang and other three places to go south together, in fact, it was a false move, just to cover this retreat...... Wise!
But although Xu You was so careful, he still never expected that if he was smart, he would meet a general who was difficult to find in the world, and he might be the best in the world...... Zhang Yide won the battle in nine cities in ten days, and the gathering of soldiers and horses in the three cities allowed him to save time, so that he could throw down the three cities and come straight to Puluojin.
It can only be said that it was Xu Ziyuan's luck that he didn't see Guan Yunchang's monster with other colleagues, and even more fortunately, he actually saw Zhang Fei's monster alone!
When he arrived, the 3,000 men and horses had already thrown away the small city of Puluojin and built a pontoon bridge, and were about to cross the river and escape under the response of the Anping defenders on the other side of the river...... It's just that Zhang Yide, as a veteran general in the army, has attacked like a wolf and a tiger this time, and he has already been angry and bloody at this point, so how can he hesitate when he sees this situation?
Therefore, his people immediately urged the whole army to come forward, and the soldiers and horses with sufficient strength were in front, and the first to descend but because of the transfer to the battle, the soldiers and horses who had lost their strength were behind, and the six thousand troops attacked along the river, and beheaded more than a thousand on the edge of the Zhangshui River in one afternoon, and surrendered more than a thousand, and among the remaining people, in fact, only two or three hundred people successfully crossed the river, and the rest were drowned in the river because of the trampling and crowding on the pontoon bridge, and the Yellow Turban Army of that year went the same way!
Xu Ziyuan on the other side of the river still has thousands of Anping defenders, across the river to see their own soldiers and horses slaughtered, already frightened and speechless, at a loss, but Zhang Yide has not let go of the other party, his people took advantage of this great victory, imitated Gongsun Xun that day in the Weishui battle, the officers in the surrender and their own army who had bought officials from Xu Yu before but did not have any outstanding performance were all dragged out, beheaded, and executed to show the public!
Xu Ziyuan's eyes were split, almost fainting, but he was helpless.
After the execution, Zhang Fei burned the pontoon bridge and threw all the corpses into Zhangshui in order to prevent Dong Zhao's lack of strength in the future, and then personally gathered 7,000 people, with great fanfare, and went to Gutao City along Puluojin Road to support Dong Gongren.
Of course, Zhang Fei didn't know that on the morning of the day when he broke Xu Yu and shocked Zhangshui, Dong Zhao, who got the news of the First World War in Nanhe, directly invited the county and his wife to meet in the back hall of the official temple.
It is said that as early as the beginning when Zhang Fei suddenly led the troops to disappear, Sun Yan was already uneasy; A few days ago, as the signs of Zhang Fei's havoc in the Heavenly Palace in the south of the county began to appear, this uneasiness became more and more obvious; On this day, the news came, Ren County, Pingxiang, and Julu sent troops to Nanhe together but were defeated by Zhang Fei, and after the news that Zhang Yide had almost successfully swept the south of the county, he was even more cautious, walking on thin ice, and there was no extra behavior.
As for Dong Zhao now having a call, he naturally doesn't dare not go...... In fact, after tidying up the instrument, the high crown is straight, and the black ribbon copper seal is not delayed, but the person is unusually in time, smiling like a flower, and hurriedly enters the familiar official temple, and when he comes to the back hall, he bows his head and bows, and calls himself the king.
Of course, Dong Zhao was also amiable as always, he personally came to the hall to help each other, and then pulled the head of the back hall to sit side by side and hold hands, which somewhat made Sun Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
But soon, as the two of them sat down, Dong Zhao spoke, and the crown of the local family, who had been a local clan leader in Julu County for many years, was still instantly cold.
"Gonggao, I have something to tell you." Dong Zhao touched the other party's hand, slightly helpless. "Yide broke through the eight counties and nine cities in the south of the county, obtained countless confessions from people, and retrieved countless confidential letters...... It's nothing else, but the Huang family of Ren County actually found a letter in your handwriting, with the same handwriting and neat seals, and the messenger is said to be your close family member......
"My family and the Huang family are world friends." Sun Yan was cold and hurriedly explained. "It's not uncommon for him to have my letters...... It has only been two months since he rebelled, and how can he count the previous letters? β
"Of course I know." Dong Zhao said with a smile. "But this letter is not the old letter from before, it was delivered after Yide set out a few days ago, and the first half of the letter is to remind Huang to be careful of Yide's behavior......
Sun Yan panicked and almost jumped up from his seat.
"Don't be impatient, listen to me......" Dong Gongren grabbed the other party, pulled the other party back into his seat, and continued to speak calmly. In the second half of this letter, you discussed with the other party, asking the Huang side to be patient for a while, wait for General Wei to send troops to Handan, and then suddenly offer gall pottery, leading Yuan Jun to smash behind General Wei, so as to achieve immortality...... Gonggao, you said it yourself, this letter is here, no matter what the current situation is, no matter what your family is, no matter what your own reputation is, if you say that you can escape the scourge of extermination?! β
"This letter is forged!" Sun Yan almost burst into tears. "Let's not mention that I don't know about General Zhang Yide's southward journey at all, I just say that I want to plan for General Wei, where did I get this guts? And I really didn't write a letter! Fujun, you know me, although I have been disrespectful and complained before, I will never risk the destruction of my family to do such a stupid thing...... As for the seal, I have been a county officer for many years, and I have traveled extensively in the county, and many people have seen it, so it is common for someone to imitate one or two mud pills...... In short, please believe me! β
"Of course I believe you." Dong Zhao continued to hold the other party's hands that were already covered with sweat, with a sincere expression. "How can I not believe you? Because the letter was forged by me, and the seal was secretly forged by me when I found an opportunity before...... But what about forgeries in such a situation? Can't you destroy all your people? The whole county knows your past dominance, and they all know that you have some resentment against me and General Wei, plus the previous and current situation, will they not believe it? β
Sun Yan stared at the other party's black fat cheeks, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
And after a while, his people tried to break free from Dong Zhao again, leaned down on the ground and knelt down to apologize, but raised his finger to the sky and swore an oath: "I belong to a leaf obscure, arrogant, and I don't know Mount Tai is ridiculous, and I hope that the prince of the palace will forgive me...... Today's affairs, my subordinates hereby swear that if the prince can save his subordinates from this disaster, he will definitely tie the grass in the future! β
Dong Zhao smiled dumbly, but stepped forward to help the other party again: "The announcement is too much, the two of us have a game, although there was some discord before, but if you insist on destroying your entire clan, why wait until now?" β
Sun Yan's heart was surging today, up and down, and he almost collapsed when he heard this, and almost collapsed on the ground, but fortunately, Dong Gongren was a little fatter and had enough strength, so he helped him back to the seat.
"I was stupid before, and I rebelled against the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, but I didn't expect that today I would accept such a great favor from the king." After a long time, Sun Gonggao, who had taken a breath, said bitterly. "Please also ask the prince to instruct, if you can do it, your subordinates will definitely do their best."
"It's easy." Dong Zhao clasped his hands beside him, not in a hurry. "Please Gonggao and I will bring the more than 1,000 clan soldiers that your family has hidden in the three manors in the north of the city with me, as well as the remaining 1,000 county soldiers in the city, in fact, most of them are officers appointed by your disciples, and now they will be with me...... Let's call them over now, let my brother Dong visit and lead, and immediately set off to send troops to Puluojin, and work with Yide to defeat Xu You...... Don't worry, your brother Sun Xing has a lot of merit in the Yide army, and your two thousand soldiers will be handed over to him to bring! β
"So, let's do it now." When Sun Yan heard this, he felt that he had escaped death, and he was simply happy.
"You don't have to go, but sit with me here and tell them to come." Dong Zhao disagreed.
Sun Yan came to his senses and hurriedly apologized again, and the two sat side by side in the back hall of the official temple, calling Dong Wan and many Sun henchmen to come here, and then Sun Yan ordered in person to hand over the military power and Dong Wan...... With their own master and the county guard in front of each other, how dare Sun's henchmen say more? And Dong Wan did not hesitate, first took over the county guard, and then went out of the city to gather the 1,000 Sun clan soldiers outside the city, and then hurriedly went south to confront Puluojin? went to the direction of the city, as if he really wanted to fight Xu Yu with Zhang Fei.
Of course, at this time, no one in this gall Tao City knew that Xu You had already escaped from the small city of Puluojin, and Zhang Yide was as fierce as a wolf, as fierce as a tiger, and was showing his might on the bank of Zhangshui at this time!
Two thousand soldiers and horses hurried away, and there were no other soldiers in the city, and Dong Zhao still sat in the back hall and stood still, and Sun Yan had to continue to tremble and accompany him.
"Almost." Seeing that the sun was deflected, estimating that the soldiers and horses had already traveled far away, Dong Zhao spoke. "Let's go to the front lobby together, and let's deal with a business together and disperse!"
"Dare to disobey?"
Sun Yan had already completely relaxed, and at this time, he only wanted to take the opportunity to establish an authority with himself, and set up and down rituals, how could he not be willing.
And the two came to the front hall, Dong Zhao sat in the middle of the hall, Sun Yan stood on the flank below, and the thieves in the county, the soldiers, the gongcao, the officials, the prison officials, etc., were also called to stand on both sides of the hall.
"General Zhang leveled the south of the county, forced him to demote to the county Wang clan, and found a letter, in which a person colluded and rebelled, plotted against him, and wanted to sacrifice Julu to the Yuan thief to invite merit and reward, and the patriarch of the Wang clan also confessed." Dong Zhao looked at the gathering of many county officials in the hall, but without hesitation, he took out a letter directly from his arms, and then pointed at Sun Yan, who was already stunned. "The rebel is none other than the grandson of the county...... Where is the thief? Take this guy! Where's the merit? to review this letter and send it left and right to view! β
Who in the county doesn't know that Zhang Yide has already achieved half of the success? And I was busy all afternoon, seeing that Dong Wan had received military power and taken away all the power of the Sun family, plus Gong Cao and others over there checked the letters, and sure enough, the handwriting and seals were clear, where would there be any hesitation?
Therefore, there was no need for a few armor soldiers standing outside the door to do it, the thief Cao and the jailer stepped forward directly, and easily took down Sun Yan under the hall, and took away the other party's seal ribbon and saber.
And just when the jailer still wanted to follow the rules and remove his crown, Dong Zhao suddenly raised his hand to stop it: "Colleagues, why humiliate?" Sun Gonggao...... Although you have repeatedly disobeyed me, repeatedly criticized General Wei's government, and since the war began, you have repeatedly prevaricated and delayed the military situation, but I remember that you have worked hard for many years to maintain the county's meritorious service, and today I share a kindness with you...... Your great sin today is unforgivable, but if you kill yourself, I will intercede for you at General Wei, and I will only sin against you, not your family! β
Sun Yan was pressed to the ground, and at this time he raised his head and opened his mouth to speak, at first he wanted to shout for help, but he remembered that none of the people available to him were now here; and he defended himself to his colleagues that the epistle was forged, knowing that no one would believe him; Then he wanted to ask the other party why he rebelled, but he suddenly remembered that his brother was still in the army, and in the current situation, the matter of clan punishment was not false...... In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the soldiers and horses were deceived in the morning, the clan would have been ridiculous!
In the end, the person just asked in a daze: "Can't the prince really spare my life?" β
"If you don't take your life, how can you stand up and build virtue and subdue hundreds of thousands of people up and down Julu?" Dong Zhao sat on it, and there was only coldness on his black and fat face. "Why did you say such ridiculous words before the war?"
Sun Yan had nothing to say, so he could only look up to the sky and sigh: "I can't see Mount Tai in a single leaf, and my subordinates think very highly of themselves, but they are just a thing in the hands of the prince, which is really ridiculous...... Now, just ask for a pot of liquor and a sharp blade, and no one else will die for the stupidity and arrogance of his subordinates! β
Of course, Dong Zhao wouldn't tell this person that his younger brother Sun Xing actually died earlier than him, so he just nodded slowly and waved his hand, and then, the jailer naturally took this person away.
The whole county stood solemnly in the hall and waited, but after a while, the jailer came back to report to Dong Zhao, saying that Sun Ling had committed suicide in fear of crime and had killed himself in prison. And the next day, the county posted notices in various pavilions and righteous houses, clearly indicating the fact that Sun and his rebellion were rebellious, needless to say.
So far, on the seventh day of the first month of September, Julu has been in chaos for several months, and it has been peaceful.
ββββI am a dividing line that I have been powerlessββββ
"Dong Zhao is too guarded by Julu, stationed in Gaunt, the grandson of the county, a big family in the country, and has been filial piety for ten years. At the beginning of Jian'an, Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Xunxun in Jizhou, Hebei changed three times a day, facing the south and the north, Xu Yu held Yuan Shao's seal to buy the southern tribes of Julu County, nine counties and eleven cities, once defected, the gall Tao hung in the north of Julu Ze, three shocks a day, and Sun Yan's rudeness became worse. And Zhang Fei traveled north to Julu, with thousands of soldiers to fight, 11 days of continuous battles, the recovery of ten cities, the county was redetermined, and there was a surrender of people to raise Sun and his traffic Yuan's family, and the crime should be punished. Zhao Wenyan sighed: 'After Dong Zhuo's chaos, the thirteen states were turbulent for several years, and it was the autumn of suspicion from top to bottom; Jizhou has been in turmoil for seven years, which is also the source of turmoil in the world. Living here, at this time, today's rebellion, tomorrow's fall, and the times are compelling! Although they are disrespectful, the law is not tolerated, but they will be punished by the clan, and they will not bear it! 'When he heard this, he wept and worshiped in the north in prison: 'A leaf obstructs the eyes, and the weight of Mount Tai is not seen; If you are ignorant for a while, you don't know the face of a hero, and you should thank him with death. 'The jailer, who is old in the county, used his sword to kill himself in prison, and forgave his people. When the county heard this, they all said: 'The king of this mansion repays his grievances with virtue!' 'It's a subjugation. ββ"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
