Chapter 81: The Battle of Jizhou (1)

Jizhou was lost from the two large counties of Hejian and Bohai, and people were panicked, and they speculated when Liu Ze would send troops. Yuan Shao ruled Jizhou for several years, and in order to balance the relationship between the left and right, the officials of various counties and counties mostly used the children of the Hebei clan and their own cronies. Yuan Shao expelled Han Fu and owned Jizhou, and there were many non-Jizhou people under his command, such as Xu You, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Xin Ping Xinbi brothers, and so on. Known as the head of the four strategists, the trial is an authentic Hebei person.

The family of troubled times is well aware of the truth that eggs cannot be put in one basket, just like investment, bet more. The most famous ones are the Xun family, Xun Yu and Xun Yu are under Cao Cao's account, and Xun Chen is under Yuan Shao; The same is true of the Zhuge brothers, the eldest Zhuge Jin voted for Dongwu, Zhuge Liang voted for Liu Bei, it is said that there is a clansman named Zhuge in the Langya Zhuge family under Cao Cao. To put it bluntly, this is a means to preserve the family in troubled times.

If you want to get Jizhou, Liu Ze's prison still has two bigwigs from Hebei, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi. The two of them are still fellow villagers, both of them are from Julu, one is from Julu County and one is Guangping County, and the two are less than forty miles apart. The historical Tian Feng was brutally killed after the defeat of Yuan Shaoguandu, and he refused to surrender and was killed by Cao Cao. How to use the two to win the hearts of the people and successfully occupy Jizhou? Liu Ze decided to meet two Hebei celebrities.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are not bad in prison, they enjoy star treatment, and they are a separate small courtyard, which is basically under house arrest. Liu Ze took Liu Ye to the small courtyard to meet the two.

Fu Zhu opened his mouth and said, "Congratulations to Rundong on his promotion to the Yan King." Tian Feng was solemn. Liu Ze said: "The two great sages, can you get used to living? Tian Feng said hesitantly: "Thank you for your care, everything is fine." Frustratedly, he said: "King Yan wants to come and surrender? Liu Ze said: "Definitely." Tian Feng said: "The two of us have a good heart, and I would rather be a ghost of the Yuan family than a minister of Yan Wang." ”

Cold field, absolute cold field, all the words are said about this, how to continue. Liu Ye hurriedly rescued the scene and said: "Yuan Benchu Luoyang was the emperor, and the Shanyang Gong shot the dog and died, I must have heard of it. I wonder what the two sages think? Tian Feng and Fu Zhi had already learned about these two major events from the jailer, and they were very surprised by Liu Xie's death.

Frustrated professor said: "The original emperor was called the emperor, and the profit made the wisdom faint; The first emperor died, and people and gods were outraged. Liu Ze said: "When the first emperor was young, there were more than ten sharp arrows in his body, and their appearance was so miserable that it was ugly. "Although Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are the old departments of the Yuan family, their loyalty to the Han is still unchanged in their bones. Hearing Liu Ze say that Liu Xie was hit by more than ten arrows in his body, he couldn't help but look miserable, and knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Shanyang.

Liu Ye said slowly: "Who is Yuan Xiang? Tian Feng said: "The nephew of the original clan, in charge of the secret guard. "Then Ji Ling?" Liu Ye asked again. "The retainer of the Yuan family is now a highway general. Liu Ye said: "Who died at the hands of the first emperor, the two of you must have guessed?" ”

Tian Feng and frustration are whom, Liu Ye said these two people, it is not without purpose, could it be that Liu Xie died at the hands of these two people?

Liu Ze said: "Yuan Benchu ordered Yan Rou to protect the first emperor, but why did Yan Rou defect to Meng De? Although Tian Feng and Fu Zhu didn't understand the details, they had already guessed the ending, and Tian Feng said, "Please tell King Yan in detail." ”

"Yuan Benchu forced the first emperor to take the throne, placed the first emperor in Shanyang, and Yan Rou led a thousand elite soldiers to guard. The princes of the world, each with their own thoughts, have sent elites into Shanyang. After learning about it, Ling Shi led 500 elites to save the first emperor from fire and water, and came to Jixian County to settle down. Yan Rou had the original order and used the golden cicada to get out of the shell to escort the first emperor to Luoyang. On the way, the elite of the princes was exhausted, or they wanted to seize the first emperor, or they wanted to put the first emperor to death. Liu Ze's tone was heavy, and he said slowly: "Yan Rou desperately guarded and defeated the four-way ambush soldiers in a row. When the shooting dogs gathered, Yan Rou's subordinates were less than 500, and many of the soldiers had arrow wounds, and they were suddenly ambushed by 100 elites. Yan Rou fought desperately, and was hit in the left arm by a person with a three-pointed two-edged knife, and could no longer fight, fighting and walking with his subordinates to protect the emperor's car. Tian Feng couldn't help but say, "How did it end?" When the words came out, I felt reckless.

"Less than half a mile after the convoy walked, hundreds of crossbow arrows roared, and the guards of the escort car shot through them along with their shields. The soldier fell to the ground, hundreds of sharp arrows were shot into the car, Yan Rou saw this, desperately rushed to the shooter, killing more than 20 people in a row, but was blocked by one person. Although the black scarf on the man's face was covered, Yan Rou still recognized this person as Yuan Xiao. ”

Cold sweat flowed down his back, and he stammered: "Ji Lingshan makes a three-pointed two-edged knife, brother of the Yuan family, what do you want?" ”

"Not bad." Liu Ze took a sip of tea, "Yan Rou has already recognized Ji Ling and Yuan Xiang. Yuan Benchu had ordered Yan Rou to escort the first emperor to Luoyang, and not to give up until the last resort. It wasn't until Yuan Xiang shot the first emperor that Yan Rou understood that Yuan Benchu wanted to blame him, and in desperation, he went east along the river and defected to Cao Mengde. ”

Tian Feng said: "King Yan ordered Shi A to save the first emperor, where is Shi A?" ”

Shi Ah expected Yan Rou to gather at night and shoot dogs, and was ready to save him at night. Unexpectedly, the third watch had passed, and there was no information, so I had to shoot dogs north and search along the way. ”

Frustrated: "The bones of the first emperor, where is it now?" ”

Liu Ze said: "Shi Ah will take the bones of the first emperor and find a secret place to go to the earth. Wait for the lonely south to go to Jizhou, wave the army to Luoyang, cut off the head of Yuan Shao's thief, sacrifice the first emperor, and then carry out a big funeral. ”

When Tian Feng and Fu Zhu saw Yuan Shao doing this, they were frightened in their hearts and turned ashen.

Liu Ye said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, Mr. Gonghe, Yuan Benchu's thief's wolf heart is obvious. According to Youzhou, Yuan Shao repeatedly requisitioned grain from the people of Jizhou, and the people of Jizhou suffered for a long time. Don't you hear: Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world? Yuan Benchu lost his virtue like this, and the two of them still have hope? ”

Liu Ze said: "Those who do it alone are for the people of the world, not for their own selfishness." The princes are divided, and the most bitter ones are also the people. Mencius said: The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. "Shangshu" said: The people are only the state, and the country is solid. The people are the foundation of the country. The yellow turban is in turmoil, and Kyushu is unstable; Daze advocated righteousness, and Qin died for it. The power of the people, such as Si. The two of them are familiar with the classics, and they should know it well. ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were brainwashed by Yu Zhong, and Liu Ze's words were like seeing the sun from the clouds, and like being a stick, and he suddenly felt that the hope he had for Yuan Shao was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it was indefinite.

Liu Ze said: "For Jizhou, for the people of the world, please two great sages to help." ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu looked at each other, looked at each other for a long time, knelt down and said, "I am willing to help King Yan." ”

When the pear blossoms were full of branches, Liu Ze's army began to advance towards Jizhou from three sides.

Yu Ban and Gao Shun sent troops from Pingyuan County to Qinghe, and the soldiers pointed directly at Ganling.

Guan Yu sent troops to Zhongshan Kingdom; Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan waved the army to Changshan; Zhao Fei attacked Anping; Zhang Xiu attacked Zhao State.

Julu Taishou Yuan Mai is Yuan Shao's descendant, but the guard general of the county town of Gauntao is Tian Feng's clansman, named Tian Ji. Since Tian Feng was attached to Liu Ze, he wrote a secret letter and sent someone to Julu.

Lunu, the capital of Zhongshan State, the former king Liu Yu, was driven to Liwu since the Han Dynasty dedicated the emperor's throne to Liwu and became a rich man. Guan Yu besieged Lunu, Liu Yu couldn't sit still, and led fifty families to quietly rush to Lunu.

Guan Yu saw that the city of Lunu was tall, and he commanded the stone-throwing cart to smash it for three days, and the city wall was still stable, and he was quite anxious in his heart. Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes flashed, and he said, "Please." ”

Liu Yu was chubby and tall, but he didn't salute when he saw Guan Yu, Guan Yu understood that he was still holding the stinky shelf of the prince, and walked down to Liu Yu and hugged his fist and said: "The last general, Guan Yu, has seen the King of Zhongshan." Liu Yu snorted and said: "I heard that the general attacked Lunu, and the starry night came, I don't know when the general can capture Lunu?" "Guan Yu is an arrogant person, seeing Liu Yu's big grin, he was angry secretly, and he couldn't help but bring it out on his face, a down-and-out prince, who didn't look at King Yan's face, had already beaten out.

Seeing that Guan Yu didn't speak, Liu Yu wondered if he had passed, changed his face, and said with a smile: "I have a way to enter Lunu, I wonder if General Guan can adopt it?" Guan Yu snorted and said, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

Liu Yu didn't speak, how could Guan Yu not understand, "I don't know what the prince needs?" Liu Wei said: "Haha, General Guan is refreshing." After the army entered the city, in addition to the palace and me, the original more than 100 shops were also given by General Guan. Guan Yu was secretly surprised when he saw Liu Yu so rich, there are more than 100 shops, this prince has a way of doing business, "It's just a little thing." Liu Yu saw Guan Yu's promise, and said: "When you enter Lunu City, this king will give 10,000 gold cakes to reward the army." ”

10,000 gold cakes, what is the concept, a gold cake is a whole catty, also known as one gold, one gold for five baht and ten thousand dollars, that is 100 million dollars. Ordinary people spend only ten or eight cents a day, and this prince is generous enough.

Guan Yu was surprised and said: "The prince is so generous, Yu is grateful on behalf of the army." Liu Wei waved his hand, "It's just a small meaning." Compared with the Wuji Zhen family, the wealth of this king is only a drop in the bucket. ”

"The Zhen family?" Guan Yu's mouth was open, and it was not a problem to put two eggs, and it took a long time to close them and say, "The Zhen family is so rich? ”

"This General Guan doesn't know about it." Liu Yu teased: "The Zhen family is rich and wealthy, and they are engaged in business. Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteousness, Yuan Shao's first deceased soldier, the general should always know, right? Guan Yu nodded.

"The white horse is righteous and the first to ascend to the dead, and the combat power is amazing, but how did their mounts come about, I'm afraid the general doesn't know?"

Guan Yu said in surprise: "Could it be that it is all provided by the Zhen family?" ”

Liu Yu said: "Not bad. The Zhen family traveled all over the far Arctic west, trafficking in fine iron and fine horses. Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao formed an elite and had extremely high requirements for horses, and ordinary war horses were difficult to adapt, so they asked the Zhen family for help. Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, trafficked 10,000 good horses from Dawan and Wusun, and sold a horse to two people for 100 gold. Yuan Shao's mount chases the wind, and it is worth a thousand gold. Guan Yu was surprised, his war horse already felt very good, it was not easy to have a hundred gold, Liu Ze's best war horse Feiyu was only five hundred gold, Yuan Shao's chasing the wind was worth a thousand gold, and he secretly thought about it, entered Luocheng, and got Yuan Shao's horse in his hand first.

Liu Yu talked a lot, as if he was thirsty, Guan Yu hurriedly said, "Serve tea." Then he said: "The prince has not yet made any suggestions on how to attack Lunu?" Liu Yu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This is an easy matter, five hundred dead people are enough." Guan Yu couldn't wait to pinch Liu Yu's neck, and said, "Please also ask the prince to speak clearly." ”

Liu Yu looked at Guan Yu's urgent appearance, secretly proud, looked at the big tent, Guan Yu understood, and waved his hand to let the guards withdraw.

Liu Wei smiled and said: "In this king's palace, there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. The exit is secret, well, only the king and his cronies know about it. Guan Yu weighed it in his heart and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know where the entrance to the palace is?" Liu Yu said with a smile: "Originally, the king's bedroom was also." ”

Guan Yu frowned and said, "I don't know who lives in the prince's palace now?" Liu Wei said: "Zhongshan is too shou Tao Sheng." ”

Guan Yu was silent, if five hundred people suddenly attacked the city gate, echoing inside and outside, there might be a glimmer of hope. Now the palace lives in the Taishou Taosheng, the protection must be tight, if you kill out of the palace, and then run to the city gate, I am afraid that the soldiers who came to the city gate are also covered in bruises, so how to attack the city gate again? Besides, if Tao Sheng rebuilt the interior of the palace on a whim, in case the tunnel entrance was discovered, Liu Yu's plan would be tantamount to not saying anything.

Liu Yu said: "General Guan thinks it's inappropriate? Guan Yu looked at Liu Yu and said: "What the prince said, there are too many variables, and it is a matter of the lives of the soldiers, so I dare not play with it." ”
