Chapter 39: Liu Hong's Actions
"But what are we going to do now?" Chen Sheng continued to ask, "Our Li Qi and Zhou Wennai are fierce generals in the army, and they are unmatched. And the opposite side did not send Huang Hansheng and Xu Zhongkang to defeat them. We don't have any fierce generals under our command who can compete with them, and if Huang Zhong and Xu Chu launch an offensive, I'm afraid they will suffer! β
Cai Ci smiled bitterly, "There is no way to do it." Our army has a large number of generals, but the number of soldiers is not good, and it is not enough to play a good record to improve morale. Otherwise, the primitive method of fighting generals will not be used to boost morale. β
"Indeed! We've talked about this before! Chen Sheng responded, "Unless we completely ignore the casualties, the whole army goes out of the city to fight the Han army head-on." Otherwise, it would be difficult to shake the tight defense of the Han army. Of course, it is impossible for the other side to attack the city, but avoiding the battle has a great impact on the morale of our army. The most important thing for a righteous army like ours is to be able to break through the momentum, play an advantage, and hone their combat effectiveness through war. β
"But now, except for the whole army going out of the city, whether it is a small-scale temptation or a fight, we will all fall into the disadvantage. I can only watch as morale slowly declines. When the time comes, coupled with the shortage of food and grass and some other conditions, it may even be self-defeating, so this must be avoided! Cai Ci said in a deep voice.
"As for the situation on the battlefield, don't worry too much!" Returning to the question asked by Chen Sheng, Cai Ci was not worried, "Although the generals are temporarily at a disadvantage, with their ability, it is no problem to retreat in time." Behind them, Lu Chen led the 'Cangtou Army' to suppress the position, and the Han army would inevitably lose more than it would gain if it wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue. β
Liu Biaojun charged after fighting for days, although he failed to capture the city, but he also wiped out many Yellow Turban thieves who went out of the city. Therefore, Cai Ci naturally would not do nothing, and sent the well-trained elite 'Cangtou Army' in the Yellow Turban Army to suppress the formation to ensure that they could retreat safely and not give the Han army a chance to pursue.
"Well, let's keep an eye on it, and when we see that the situation is not good, we will directly withdraw our troops!" Chen Sheng said with a smile, "Li Qi and Zhou Wen are both talented generals, and it is a last resort to send them out to fight generals, and when the time comes, they will need to lead the army and kill the enemy and break the army, but they can't just be lost here!" β
"It's okay!" Cai Ci said with a smile, "In addition to Lu Chen's suppression of the formation, Chen Yu and Zhang Er also led the army to respond. β
If there is no variable of Bao Hong, Cai Ci's guess is not wrong. It is impossible for Xue Rengui, Yang Zaixing and other fierce generals to appear out of thin air. It is nothing more than Liu Biao summoning and Cen Peng coming back to join Liu Biao, and the combination of the two aspects is possible.
However, a variable completely miscalculated Cai Ci. This is also the limit of his vision. Since there is the "Taiping Book of Heaven" and the bloodline of the Han family, the appearance of other people or summoning props should also be considered.
And he will soon know what the consequences of such a mistake will be.
In Liu Biao's array, Liu Biao and even everyone in the Jingzhou family looked at Bao Hong strangely. Obviously, Bao Hong's sudden burst of power made them have some kind of suspicion.
However, Bao Hong has long been prepared for this, and the system has set a reasonable background for each summoned character and implanted a memory, even if others suspect him, as long as they go to check, they can clearly find out the identity and origin of these people, and know that they are not 'heroic spirits'. It is impossible for these people to think that these people are future beings for them.
"The other party didn't send anyone out to continue the challenge!" Bao Hong said with a smile, "It seems that so many strangers came to fight their generals all at once, which also made them nervous, and they didn't dare to continue to be arrogant!" β
"They are not stupid, they know that Huang Hansheng and Zhong Kang have not yet played, and if they send someone to challenge them, if they meet the two of them, how can they be opponents!" Zong Ze did not continue to sit in the camp today, but followed Bao Hong's side. The protection of the camp was entrusted to Li Hongzhang.
"My eyesight is not good in this regard, Uncle Zong, you seize the opportunity to give the order!" In this level of battle, Bao Hong can barely see who has the advantage and who is the disadvantage, and if he wants to seize the opportunity to order the action, it will be difficult for him.
"There's no hurry!" Zong Ze said with a smile, "Then Li Qi is young and vigorous, and he needs to slowly find an opportunity if Rengui wants to capture him alive." Zhou Wen is old and strong, but the flexibility of the big knife is not as good as the spear after all, and this opponent is easier to deal with than Li Qi! Others have no problem, as long as they are not negligent, it will not be too difficult to capture the enemy alive. β
"And the one that Bodang dealt with?" Bao Hong asked, "If the opponent flicks a false shot and hurts people with a hidden arrow, will there be a problem with Bodang?" β
"It's okay!" To deal with Bao Hong's worries, Zong Ze was very relieved, "Bodang and Yingdeng are sparring, and their archery skills are no less than those of the ancient gods. They practiced, and they were even able to catch arrows with each other and reflect back, although Ding Fu was a person who was good at shooting, but Lou Fu would have a lot of previous appointments, which was not very superb! β
"Oh! Uncle Zong, just pay attention! Bao Hong nodded, not saying anything more.
"Among the Han camps in the Chu and Han dynasties, Shentu Jia was the first in archery; followed by Zhou Bo; followed by Ding Fu and Cao Shen. The system came out of nowhere, so he said.
"Yo! Uncle System, why did you suddenly pop up? Bao Hong beckoned in his mind.
"When this system debuts, naturally something big has happened!" The system said with a wicked smile, "Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty has summoned, this guy has changed his strategy, and you will never think of the people who are summoned." What a significance! β
"Huh? Isn't it just a call to the individual? Who is called significant? Bao Hong was puzzled, "Let's talk about five thousand years up and down, and three thousand years before the Han Dynasty, it's strange if I can guess who Liu Hong summoned!" β
"Yuan Tang of the Yuan family, Cao Jie, Wang Fu, and Duan Cheng, the former Taiwei." The system reports several names in one go.
"What kind of mess is this?" Bao Hong was puzzled, "Did Liu Hong resurrect so many people at once?" And who are these people? Yuan Tang of the Yuan family, do you mean that he is the dead elder of the Yuan family? What is the permanent servant, is it the meaning of the eunuch? Is Liu Hong doing death? It's not enough for the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, but also to get some dead eunuchs to fool around? β
"You're not mistaken, it's true!" The system smiled, "Yuan Tang, the word Zhonghe, a native of Ruyang, Henan, is less educated by the family, and later entered the office, and has many outstanding positions." Emperor Huan ascended the throne and moved to Sikong, and successively served in high positions such as Situ and Taiwei. In the first year of Yongxing, Yuan Tang was dismissed from office due to disasters. He died soon after at the age of eighty-six. β
"Yuan Tang was not a minister during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, and he died long before Emperor Ling of Han ascended the throne. However, this person is the father of Yuan Ping, Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Kui. The brothers of the Yuan family are ranked as the third duke, and it is up to him to resurrect this guy and control the Yuan family! β
The system is not ambiguous, telling Bao Hong all the information he knows.
"I won't say much about Cao Jie and Wang Fu, they're not good people anyway." The system smiled, "Emperor Han Ling ascended the throne, and Empress Dou was honored as the empress dowager. Dou Wu was appointed general because he was the father of the empress dowager, and Chen Fan was reappointed as a lieutenant, and the two took control of the government together with Situ Huguang. Famous scholars Li Ying, Du Mi, Yin Xun, Liu Yu and others were able to be reactivated, while Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others flattered and served in front of the Empress Dowager Dou, who repeatedly gave orders at their instigation. This is also the so-called scourge of the party, and it is also the fundamental contradiction between scholars and eunuchs. β
"It's a pity that although the scholars are very capable, they are not the masters of their own affairs after all." The system sneered,". Dou Wu conspired to punish the eunuch, and the matter was leaked. Zhu Yu informed the eunuchs Wang Fu and Cao Jie of the matter, and the eunuchs made a bloody alliance and launched a coup d'Γ©tat that night. It is known as the "September Xinhai Coup". By the early morning of the next day, the eunuchs had won a complete victory in the coup, Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others were exterminated, and those who were not executed were exiled to Jiaozhou. Empress Dowager Dou was relocated to Nangong Yuntai to live. β
"During the period of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, there was a disaster of the party, this is the mastermind of Emperor Ling of Han? They have all hung up, and Emperor Han Ling is still thinking about them and resurrecting them! Hearing the introduction of the system, Bao Hong was also speechless, this Emperor Han Ling is really capable.
"None of this is the point!" The system smiled, "Anyway, there will be a rebellion of the ten permanent servants next, and the result will be the same if you come a few more!" β
"You have to pay attention to the last one I said, Duan Cheng, the word Jiming." The system said in a deep voice, "This person is a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he is called "Liangzhou Sanming" along with Huangfu Gui (the word Weiming) and Zhang Huan (the word Ranming). β
"I've also heard of Liangzhou Sanming, I've been hearing people recite this person's exploits in Fufeng, and Liangzhou Huqiang was beaten by him." Bao Hong smiled, "It's because of various reasons that I didn't completely defeat the Qiang people, otherwise there wouldn't be so many things." β
Duan Cheng learned to ride and shoot when he was young, and he was originally promoted as filial piety, and was originally promoted as a filial piety, a county in the Xian Cemetery, and a Yangling order, and had a talent for governance. Later, he joined the army, fought on the border for more than ten years, and successively served as Zhonglang General, Captain Huqiang, Yilang, Bingzhou Assassin History, and Poqiang General. He fought 180 battles against the Qiang people, killed nearly 40,000 people, and finally pacified the Western Qiang and destroyed the Eastern Qiang. With merit to seal the Marquis of Xinfeng County, 10,000 households.
In the third year of Jianning, Duan Cheng was conscripted into the court, successively served as Shizhong, Zhijinwu, Henan Yin, Sili Lieutenant and other positions, he attached the eunuch to the party, and hunted and killed the Tai students for it, so he was able to protect the wealth, increase the number of 4,000 households, and twice served as the Tai Lieutenant. In the second year of Guanghe, the crime of the eunuch Wang Fu was exposed, and Duan Cheng was implicated and imprisoned, and soon died in prison. Later, after Lu Qiang, a regular servant in the middle, wrote a letter to sue Duan Cheng for his merits, Emperor Ling issued an edict to return Duan Cheng's family to the county.
"Eh, this guy is actually messing with eunuchs?" Bao Hong didn't know that there was such a thing, and it seemed that in this way, the scholars would hack him.
Of course, Bao Hong didn't know that Yu Duan Cheng's extermination of the Qiang people was already an intolerable object for scholars who attached importance to education, so there was no future at all if he followed the scholars, so naturally he could only take refuge in the eunuchs.
"In this way, Liu Hong is not too stupid, controlling the Yuan family through the predecessors of the Yuan family, and summoning the famous generals on the eunuch side, then it is also a balance for the general."
"Okay, think for yourself. Since Liu Hong has made a decision, the holy decree must also be issued soon. The other Han clan relatives will also start summoning. The system smiled, "Yo, the battlefield is starting to move, and I won't affect you!" β
