Chapter 218: Civil strife in Jingzhou
Hearing that Liu Biao was seriously ill, a general said: "Take advantage of this good opportunity, it is better to attack Jingzhou and go down one by one." ”
Xu Shu said: "By no means, Your Majesty will serve the world with benevolence and virtue, and take advantage of the chaos to subdue, and it will not be what Your Majesty wants." ”
Pang Tong said: "Yuan Zhi's words are wrong, although Your Majesty is merciful, but Your Majesty is now in Hanzhong, and Niangniang is in Jingzhou." Sun Tzu said: Outside, the king's order is not affected! Taking advantage of the chaos to go to Jingzhou is our doing, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty's benevolence. ”
After some argument, Yan Er was silent in thought. Xiahou Ling asked, "Sister, how should I deal with it?" ”
After listening to the arguments, Yan Er said: "Wait for three days, and then make plans after three days." ”
After the discussion dispersed, Xiahou Ling and Lu Qiling asked why they didn't make a decision immediately.
Yan Er said: "Kong Ming is in Jingzhou now, I have to wait for his news." ”
Later that night, Kong Ming came again to report that Liu Biao was seriously ill, and Liu Qi was stopped outside Jingzhou by Cai's and was not allowed to visit the city. Liu Ji didn't dare to go in, but stationed troops outside the city.
Xiahou Ling said: "Jingzhou is going to mess up." ”
Yan Er said: "So this palace said that it would have to wait, and that's the reason." We can also rest well and think about it tomorrow. ”
The residences of the four women are close to each other, and one person gathers together with a child, chatting about family life, chatting about military affairs, and breastfeeding the child.
Wen Yin said: "We also created history, women breastfeeding their children and marching to war. ”
Yan Er said: "The same does not belong to a man. ”
Wen Yin said: "Your Majesty will be proud of us." ”
Yan Er said: "We can't embarrass Your Majesty. ”
All the concubines said yes.
The next morning, news came from Jingzhou that Liu Biao had passed the throne of Jingzhou to his second son Liu Cong during his illness.
Yan Er ordered everyone to gather in the council hall to listen to the order.
After all the generals gathered, Yan Er said: "Jingzhou has changed, the generals are ready to open at any time, pass the palace order, because Liu Biao is seriously ill, can not be re-assumed, his throne to the second son Liu Cong, without the approval of the imperial court, is illegal, now appoint the eldest son Liu Qi temporarily on behalf of Jingzhou Thorn History, to be appointed after the palace to show His Majesty and then appoint matters." ”
Pang Tong said: "Niangniang has a good plan. ”
Yan Er smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Feng Xiao has thought of it a long time ago, right?" ”
Pang Tong said: "Humble and stupid. ”
"You're not stupid."
Xu Shu said: "Niangniang, this is a divisive plan, will it damage the image of the court?" ”
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Brother Yuan, he is really an honest gentleman. Jingzhou has always been unconvinced, the military attack is not good, can only be outwitted, Sun Tzu said: The soldier is treacherous, the advantage is tempted, the chaos is taken, the victory of the soldier must not be ignored. ”
Yan Er said: "What Shi Yuan said is extremely true, this palace wants to go to Jingzhou in person. Set off tomorrow morning, this time will lead 150,000 elite horsemen. Wen Yanyun guarded Xiangyang, and Zhao Zilong and Xu Yuanzhi stayed behind. Pang Shiyuan was a military advisor and went out with the palace. ”
Pang Tong said: "Obey orders!" ”
Yan Er said again: "Guan Yunchang, Ma Mengqi led the troops of the headquarters to go out with the palace. ”
"The last general commands!"
Xiahou Ling asked, "Sister, what about the two of us?" ”
Yan Er smiled and said, "Of course the two of you are with this palace." In addition......"
When Yan'er said this, she suddenly stood up and paced back and forth.
Pang Tong asked: "Is there anything undecided?" ”
Yan Er said: "There are still some details that are uncertain, if Your Majesty is here, it will never be like this." ”
Pang Tong asked: "I don't know where Niangniang is not clear?" ”
Yan Er said: "How to deal with Liu Cong and his sect? ”
Pang Tong said: "You can give an order to order Liu Cong, Cai's, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others to hand over their military power, come to the Han army to surrender, and wait for the imperial court to fall." ”
Yan'er asked: "Then isn't this forcing him to rebel?" ”
Pang Tong said: "I'm afraid that if he doesn't rebel, if he rebels, we will have a reason to beat him!" And Liu Qi will not wait to ignore it, but he can order Liu Qi to seize the time to take office. ”
is discussing and seeing, there is a holy decree from Hanzhong, ordering Yan'er to subdue Jingzhou, in what way, it can be ruled in the form of words, but Cai Mao and Zhang Yun must be retained, and they are reused.
Yan Er wondered, this Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are not good people, why did His Majesty deliberately explain that he wanted to keep them?
Pang Tong said: "The Jingzhou sailors rely on the leadership of these two people, and Your Majesty must let them continue to train the sailors." ”
Yan Er nodded and said, "I see!" Passed on the palace order, ordering the two to continue to appoint the commander of the Jingzhou Water Division. ”
The discussion has been decided, just wait for the follow-up news.
In the evening, news came from Jingzhou again, saying that Liu Biao was seriously ill and had passed away. (Note: In the original history, Liu Biao died in 208.) Liu Cong had forcibly ascended to the throne, inherited the position of Jingzhou Assassin, and also beheaded the envoys of the Han army.
Liu Qi had already received the decree of the noble concubine, and the troops were under the city of Jingzhou, and the two sides had fought several times.
Yan Er was furious: "Liu Cong is rebelling!" Dare to openly challenge the imperial court, order the whole army, prepare quickly, and set off on the third watch tonight! ”
Pang Tong said: "This is too urgent, right? ”
Yan Er said: "Don't be in a hurry. Quickly order the whole army to hurry up and prepare and rest, and set off on time at the third watch, and not to be lazy! ”
The generals took orders and began to get busy. Yan Er called over and Pang Tong asked, "What is the opinion of the military advisor?" ”
Pang Tong said: "Liu Cong is only eight years old, this is not his opinion at all, it must be instructed by the Cai family, but Liu Qi can be ordered to attack Jingzhou first, and our Han army will arrive later." Cai's family, his brother Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun and others can be beheaded after breaking the city. ”
Yan Er said: "But Your Majesty specially explained that he wanted to leave Cai Mao and Zhang Yun alive. And this Cai Mao is also Yueying's maternal uncle. ”
Pang Tong said: "Cai Mao is disobedient and can't stay, although he is a general of the navy division and has the ability to command the navy, but this person can't stay, and it will be a disaster if he stays for a long time." And we can train ourselves later. The so-called general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, and if Niangniang beheads Cai Mao, Your Majesty cannot blame you. ”
Huang Yueying said: "Niangniang, my mother died early, and my maternal uncle doesn't have a good impression of my Huang family, and he doesn't have much contact. Now that Cai Mao has broken the law, I can't even use my private life to abolish the public. ”
Yan Er said: "Then the palace will be relieved, and immediately send an order to Liu Qi to step up the attack on Jingzhou!" ”
Everyone was busy, Yan Er walked out of the council hall, stood in the courtyard, raised her head and said to herself: "Why did my Cai family have such a person." ”
Yan'er's surname is Cai, this Liu Biao's wife is also surnamed Cai, and the world's most talented woman Wen Ji Niangniang is also surnamed Cai.
"It seems that there are really a lot of people named Cai!"
After sighing, she returned to the house, in exchange for the lady, brought the child, coaxed the child to feed the child in the house, and exchanged Wen Yin and others, and the three of her also came over with their own children.
Yan Er smiled and said, "We're going to have a banquet again." ”
Xiahou Ling didn't know why, and asked, "What kind of banquet?" Didn't you have dinner? ”
Yan Er pointed to the child in her arms and said, "It's their banquet." ”
All the concubines laughed.
