The 592nd New Official Takes Office, Three Fires, the First Fire--The flames of war burned all over Nanyang and North 4
After listening to Fu Tong's words, Zhang Yingwen's color changed, and he just wanted to be angry, but he didn't want to, and was pulled behind him by his father.
At this moment, Zhang An's face was very calm.
He didn't even want to reply immediately: "Qi Qi Fu Taishou, you are right. Such people, the lower officials know two or three. However, when you mention these two things now, there are some problems.
First of all, when Yuan Shu plagued our Nanyang County back then, it had been so long since now. And Xia Guan has left Luyang Mountain for a long time, and he has also cut off contact with the mountain. In addition, there has been a constant war in the north of Nanyang County over the years, and it is indeed not clear whether several of Xiaguan's friends are still alive now.
Secondly, Fu Taishou, even if several of Xiaguan's friends are still alive, it is really difficult for you and me to persuade them to go out of the mountain and surrender!
Finally, Fu Taishou, our army is attacking the city so much, will the Cao army, which is close at hand, give you and me time to go up the mountain to persuade the various forces in Lushan to surrender to us? ”
Although Zhang An's words were very tactful and listed many of the difficulties, Fu Tong immediately heard the key to it. Zhang An was worried that it would not only take time to persuade the various forces in the mountains to surrender to them, but also, with the reputation of the two of them, even if they sent people into the mountains to persuade a few of Zhang An's friends to surrender down the mountain, they might not be able to listen.
Since the Yellow Turban Uprising occupied Wancheng three times in Nanyang County in a row and rebelled, many people fled into the Luyang Mountains, some of them got together with their fellow villagers to protect each other and escape the war in the mountains, and some people, relying on their personal bravery, led a team to become bandits. Some of the local Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang County broke into the Luyang Mountains.
In the plan that Jin Jue formulated for Fu Tong, in order to enhance the military strength of Fu Tong's headquarters and at the same time add a little more blockage to Cao's army, he naturally started the idea of these small troops who had combat experience and were considered to be the head snakes.
Fu Tong and Wei Yan are both young, even if some of their fellow villagers escape the war and flee into the Luyang Mountains to join the team of bandits or rebels, first, they are very likely to be small people among them, and they can't be the masters at all, and second, even if someone really becomes the leader, they may not remember Wei Yan or Fu Tong.
And Zhang An is different, Jin Jue's secret agent in Xiangyang City has found out that this Zhang An had stayed in Luyang Mountain for several years when he was young, and he was also the leader of a small team of only more than 100 people. Later, when he learned that his nephew Zhang Yun had actually become a general under Liu Biao, Zhang An took the initiative to lead the team to leave Luyang Mountain and go to Congliang.
It was precisely because Fu Tong knew Zhang An's origin in advance that he asked Zhang An like this.
However, when Lord Fu Tong raised this topic, of course, he had prepared in advance, and he had already made arrangements.
Over the years, between Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao, there have been several battles, and there have been victories and defeats in each other, because Zhang Xiu's own attitude has been repeated, and in the past year or two, Liu Biao's support for Zhang Xiujun, especially in food, has become very small. Therefore, in addition to the 3,000 Nanyang soldiers sent to Wei Yan and Fu Tong before, when he left Nanyang, Wancheng also left 10,000 Nanyang soldiers, and one-third of them were recruits who had been in the army for less than a year.
How to integrate these 10,000 recruits into his command without arousing the suspicion of Liu Biao and any of his subordinates, Jin Jue thought of a way for him was to recruit the bandits, rebels or remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Luyang Mountain, etc., to make a fool of themselves, so that the three major guards around Jin Jue - Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu each led more than 3,000 people, and secretly sneaked into the mountains during the time when Fu Tong went to Xiangyang City.
On the one hand, they inquired about the trend of the leaders of the various forces in the mountains, that is, who they were still going to take refuge into, and on the other hand, they were waiting for Fu Tong to come, and they pretended to be Fu Tong's friends and directly led troops to take refuge in him.
Just now, Fu Tong broke Zhang An's identity in front of everyone around him, but why didn't Zhang An get angry?
The reason is actually very simple, when Fu Tong reported his home to Liu Biao, although he said that he was the leader of the rebel army, in fact, at that time, everyone knew that Fu Tong was just a thief who robbed the house. However, he, the leader of the thieves, is still more particular about his work, at least, he did not enter Jingzhou to rob the local people, so he was very appreciated by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
"Hehehe!" When Fu Tong heard this, he chuckled three times, shook his head and replied, "Zhang County Order, you are really confused." When did Ben Taishou say that he would use the name of you and me to persuade those troops in Luyang Mountain to surrender. Don't mention the lord, do you think, if we send an envoy in the name of your nephew, General Zhang Yunzhang, what will they think? ”
"This ......" Fu Tong's words can be said to be in one sentence, after Zhang An listened to it, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
Zhang An's own and Fu Tong's personal fame, not to mention in Jingzhou, is almost negligible in his hometown of Nanyang County. Even, in the past few years that Zhang An has been an officer and soldier in Congliang, his reputation has not become as famous as in the years in Luyang Mountain?
But Zhang Yun is different, as the second-ranked general in Liu Biaojun, Zhang Yun can get to today's position, compared with Cai Mao, it is quite difficult. Zhang Yun was neither a minister of the dragon when Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou, nor was he the favorite of Cai Mao, but he completely relied on his own personal ability and political skills to achieve his current status.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were used by Zhou Yu to use Jiang Gan's book theft incident to let Cao Cao kill the two of them with his own hands. It seems that the two of them are both incompetent and cowardly.
But in fact, 'Jiang Gan's book theft' is just a story deliberately made up by later generations in order to highlight Zhou Yu's great glory. After Jiang Gan defected to Cao Cao, he may have sent a letter to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, but he himself did not steal the book, nor did he stupidly become Zhou Yu's accomplice in carrying out the counter-plot.
However, after the Battle of Chibi, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did completely disappear from Cao Jun's battle sequence, which is an indisputable fact.
And Cao Pi wrote in his "Dictionary": '...... Liu Biao fainted in Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Kuang, Zhang, Pei, Tu, Mao, and Yun's disciples are not enough to be strange, and before the prison in the future, they will all be destroyed and killed for a hundred generations. ’
The gist of this sentence is that Liu Biao was confused by his close ministers Cai Mao and Zhang Yunshuo, and abandoned his eldest son, like Yuan Shao, to favor his younger son. As a result, people like Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were all killed and annihilated, and the results were enough to give a warning to future generations.
