Volume 63 Han Ji 55 (3)
At the beginning, Dong Cheng, a general of the chariot and cavalry, claimed to have received a secret edict from the emperor and conspired with Liu Bei to punish Cao Cao. Cao Cao calmly said to Liu Bei: Today's heroes in the world are only envoys and Cao Cao, as for Yuan Benchu Liu Jingsheng and others, they are not worth talking about at all. Liu Bei was eating, and he was so shocked when he heard the words that his chopsticks fell to the ground. At this time, it happened to be raining heavily outside, and there was thunder rolling, Liu Beiyin said calmly: The sage said that the thunder and wind must make people change color, and it seems that this is the case. cleverly disguised the gaffe just now. Then he conspired with Dong Cheng and Changshui Lieutenant Zongji General Wu Zilan and Wang Fu, and Cao Cao sent Liu Bei and Zhu Ling to invite Yuan Shu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Dong Zhao, all of whom advised and said: Liu Bei cannot be sent. Cao Cao regretted it and couldn't catch up. Yuan Shu went south, and Zhu Ling waited for it. Liu Bei then killed Xuzhou to assassinate Shi Chexuan, and left Guan Yu to guard Xiapi, and did too much to keep things done. I am still a little pei.
The East China Sea thieves and counties rebelled against Cao Cao and returned to Liu Bei. Liu Bei has tens of thousands of people. Send an envoy to join forces with Yuan Shao. Cao Cao sent Shi Peiguo, the head of the air force, and Liu Dai Zhonglang attacked Fufeng Wang Zhong and did not resist. Liu Bei said to Liu Dai and the others: Even if 100 of you come, what can you do to me? Cao Gong came from himself, and the victory or defeat is unknown.
In the first month of the spring of the fifth year, Dong Cheng plotted to vent. Renzi, Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng and Wang Fu Seed Collection. All three tribes were wiped out. Cao Cao wanted to ask Liu Bei for himself, and all the generals said; The person who competes with the lord for the world is Yuan Shao, and now Yuan Shao is here, but he abandons it and wants to go east, what should he do once Yuan Shao takes the people?
Cao Cao said: Liu Bei is a masterpiece, if he doesn't fight now, he will be troubled in the future.
Guo Jia said: Yuan Shao is late and suspicious, and he will not come too quickly. Liu Bei's new generation is not attached to the hearts of the people. Hurry up and attack, the attack will be defeated. Cao Cao then waved his army east. Jizhou Don't drive Tian Feng to Yuan Shao said: Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought each other, will it be solved for a while and a half. If the lord raises an army to attack him, he can decide as he goes.
Yuan Shao excused himself on the grounds that his son was sick and could not make the trip, and Tian Feng raised his cane and said: Oh, at this rare time, it is a pity to lose his meeting because of the baby's illness. The tide is over.
Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei and broke it. Obtained his wife. Advance and pull down Pi and capture Guan Yu. Hit Chang Feng again, and break it again. Liu Bei went to Qingzhou and returned to Yuan Shao through Yuan Tan. Yuan Shao heard that Liu Bei was coming, and went out of Yecheng for 200 miles to greet him. After stopping for more than a month, the lost soldiers returned slightly.
Cao Cao returned the military crossing, and Yuan Shaocai discussed attacking Xudu. Tian Feng said: Cao Cao has broken Liu Bei, then the promise is no longer empty, and Cao Cao is good at using soldiers, there is no way to change, although the crowd is small, but not to underestimate the enemy. Now it is better to hold it for a long time, the general according to the solid mountains and rivers, with the people of the four states, the heroes outside, the internal repair of the agricultural war, and then the elite of the simplified, divided into strange soldiers, take advantage of the void to disrupt Henan, he saves the right, I will hit its left, he saves the left, I will hit its right. The enemy is tired of running for his life, and the people are not in peace, and the enemy is tired without work, and in less than three years, I can sit down and defeat the enemy. Give up the strategy of winning the temple today, and hope for success or defeat in a battle, if you don't have the will, it will be too late to regret it. Yuan Shao did not follow. Tian Feng strongly admonished, so that Yuan Shao was angry. Yuan Shao thought he was frustrated and put him in prison. So he moved to the county of Zhuzhou and counted Cao Cao's crimes.
In February, Yuan Shao marched into Liyang. Before leaving, he gathered his clan and scattered his family's wealth to everyone. Said: When the power is there, the power will be increased. Once the power is gone, it cannot be saved. It's really sad. His younger brother Fuzong said, "Cao Cao is invincible to us, so why should you be afraid?" He said: With Cao Cao's strategy and the coercion of the Son of Heaven as capital, although I am Ke Bo (Gongsun Zhan), the soldiers are actually tired, but the Lord is arrogant and extravagant, and the ruin of our army is in this move. **There is a saying, the six countries are weak. Is it prophesied today?
Zhenwei general Cheng Yu, with 700 soldiers to defend Juancheng, Cao Cao wanted to give him 2,000 troops, Cheng Yu refused, said: Yuan Shao has 100,000 people, he thinks he is invincible, now seeing that Cheng Yu has few soldiers, he will definitely despise us and not attack, if Cheng Yu is given too many soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao can not attack. And since the attack will be overcome, in vain will damage both sides, may the lord not be suspicious.
Yuan Shao heard that Cheng Yu had few soldiers, so he really didn't go forward to attack. Cao Cao said to Jia Xu: Cheng Yu's courage surpasses Benyu's.
Yuan Shao sent his general Yan Liang to attack Dongjun Taishou Liu Yan in Baima. He said: Yan Liang has a narrow personality, although he is brave, but he cannot be alone. Yuan Shao didn't listen.
In the summer of April, Cao Cao rescued Liu Yan in the north. Xun You said: Now that the number of troops is outnumbered, we must disperse the enemy's forces. When the lord arrives in Yanjin, he can pretend to lead troops across the river to the back. Yuan Shao must lead his troops to the west to respond. Then the lord attacked the white horse with light troops to cover up his unpreparedness, and Yan Liang would definitely be captured. Cao Cao followed his plan, and Yuan Shao heard that Cao's soldiers were about to cross the river, so he divided his troops to the west to invite him. Cao Cao led his troops and went straight to Baima, but before he reached more than ten miles, Yan Liang was shocked when he heard the news. Hurried to fight against the war. Cao Cao made Zhang Liao Guan Yu attack first, Guan Yu saw Yan Liang's cover, and stabbed Yan Liang in the crowd. Behead him and return. Yuan Shaojun is incompetent. Then the siege of the White Horse was relieved. Migrating local people follow the river to the west. Yuan Shao crossed the river to pursue, and said in frustration: The change of victory and defeat must not be thought about in detail, and now we should stay in Yanjin, divide the troops and officers to cross, and if they are captured, it is not too late to welcome the army. If there is a difficulty, the people cannot return it. Yuan Shao did not follow. Frustrated Linji sighed and said: For the upper one, his ambition is full, and for the lower one, he praises his achievements, and the Yellow River is long, can we succeed? So he resigned because of illness, Yuan Shao did not allow it, and he already hated him deeply, because he took stock of his department and made it belong to Guo Tu.
Yuan Shaojun went to the south of Yanjin, and Cao Cao's troops were stationed in the south of Hanxia. And he made a man climb up and look at the enemy, and the man looked at him and said, "There are five or six hundred horsemen." After a long time, he said: The enemy's cavalry has increased considerably, and the infantry is innumerable. Cao Cao said: Okay, don't report it again. Because the cavalry was ordered to unsaddle and release the horses. At that time, the white horse was already on the road, and the generals thought that the enemy had many horses, so it was better to protect the camp. Xun You said: This is to lure the enemy, why do you want to leave? Cao Cao and Xun You looked at each other and smiled.
Yuan Shao rode Wen Chou, and Liu Bei rode five or six thousand horses back and forth. The generals asked to get on the horse, and Cao Cao said: Wait, it's not time yet. After a long time, the enemy rode a little more, and many of them went straight to the baggage. Cao Cao said: It's okay. So they all got on the horse. At that time, the cavalry was less than 600, so they attacked in columns, broke it, and beheaded the ugly. Wen Chou and Yan Liang are both famous generals of Yuan Shao. In the re-war, Yuan Shao's three armies were defeated. All of them were captured.
At first, Cao Cao respected Guan Yu's character, but seeing that his mind had no intention of staying for a long time, Zhang Liao tested him with true feelings, Guan Yu sighed and said: I know that Cao Gong treats me with deep affection, but I am favored by General Liu, and I vow to die together, I can't betray him, and I can't stay. But I have to repay Cao Gong's affection with an effect, and then I can leave. Zhang Liao reported Guan Yu's words back to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao praised him very righteously. and Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, Cao Cao knew that he would definitely leave, because of the heavy reward. Guan Yu sealed what he gave and bowed to the book and said goodbye. Then Ben Liu Bei to Yuan Shao's army. Left and right want to chase him, Cao Cao said: He is also his own master, and his loyalty is commendable, so don't chase him.
Cao Cao returned to the officer's crossing, Yan Rou sent an envoy to see Cao Cao, Cao Cao took Yan Rou as the captain of Wuhuan, Xian Yufu personally saw Cao Cao in Guandu, and Cao Cao took Xian Yufu as the right Liao general to return to the town.
Guangling guarded Chen Dengzhi to shoot the sun, Sun Ce attacked Huang Zu in the west, and Chen Deng lured Yan Baihu Yu Dang, wanting to harm the future. Sun Ce fought back against Chen Deng, and when the army arrived at Dantu, he had to wait for the arrival of grain before attacking. Earlier, Sun Ce killed Wu Jun Taishou Xu Gong, and Xu Gong's slaves were hiding among the people, wanting to avenge Xu Gong. Sun Ce is good at hunting, many times out of the horse to drive, because the horse he rides, from the horse can never come, the three guests of Xu Gong, bent the bow to shoot Sun Ce in the forehead, from the horse to the second, shoot the assassin.
Sun Ce was seriously wounded by an arrow, summoned Zhang Zhao and others, and said to them: At present, China is in turmoil, and with the people of Wu Yue and the solidity of the three rivers, it is enough to see success or failure. I hope that the public will be kind to my brother, and asked Sun Quan to wear the seal ribbon on him, and said to him: Raise the people of Jiangdong, decide between the two formations, and compete with the world, you are not as good as me. But I am not as good as you.
Bingwu, Sun Ce. At the age of twenty-six, Sun Quan did not look at things. Zhang Zhao said: Xiaolian, now is not the time to cry. So he forced Sun Quan to change his clothes, ordered him to get on the horse, and made him go out to patrol the army. Zhang Zhao led his subordinates to the imperial court, and moved down to the generals and schools outside the city, and each ordered to serve. Zhou Yu went to the funeral from Baqiu's generals. So he stayed in Wucheng. As the protector of the army, he was in charge of all affairs with Zhang Zhao. At that time, although Sun Ce had Huiji, Wujun, Danyang, Yuzhang, Lujiang, and Luling, he still did not follow the dangerous places. The wandering people are all concerned about safety. There is no solidity of a monarch and a minister. And Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others thought that Sun Quan could achieve a great cause with him, so they committed themselves to serve him.
