Chapter 418: The Situation of the Parties
Under the persuasion of frustration and trial, Koji Yi tightened his anger a little, but he still gritted his teeth.
"Cao Mengde deceived me like this, if I don't go to war, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
"General Koji, the eldest husband can endure and stretch, why bother to use a big army just for a moment. Moreover, Qingzhou has now fallen into the hands of our others, and the war in Youzhou is very good, and I think that soon, Youzhou will also fall into the hands of the lord. At that time, the lord sat on the land of You, Hebei, and Qingzhou, and became the overlord of the north. At that time, the lord will send troops to clean up this Cao Mengde. β
After taking a few deep breaths, Ko Yi finally gave up the idea of attacking Yanzhou, and then asked the two of them to ask for Fu Zhu and Ju Pei, hoping that when Yuan Shao decided to attack Cao Cao, the two of them would ask him to become the vanguard general, so that he could avenge today's revenge. Frustration and trial will naturally agree. At the same time, he advised Li Yi to lead 50,000 troops to Youzhou to help in the war and end the war in Youzhou as soon as possible.
After recuperating for a few days, he immediately prepared his troops and horses, leaving Fu Zhu, Chun Yuqiong and 150,000 troops to stay in Qingzhou, while he led 50,000 elite soldiers to the Youzhou battlefield.
As for Cao Cao, near the border of Qingzhou, he took all precautions, waited for a month and did not see Liyi attacking, and later learned that Liyi led 50,000 elite soldiers to leave Qingzhou, so he knew that he had no intention of attacking Yanzhou for the time being. At this point, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time began to work on the revival of Yanzhou's internal affairs and the reorganization of troops and horses. Cao Cao's 200,000 troops in Yanzhou, of which 180,000 are all Black Mountain thieves, Cao Cao selected the elite, after strict selection, there were only 80,000 elite soldiers left, and because most of the Black Mountain thieves came from Qingzhou, so Cao Cao called it 'Qingzhou Soldiers', and the remaining 100,000 Black Mountain thieves, Cao Cao ordered to return to the farm.
In this way, Yanzhou had nearly 800,000 foreign population, and after Cao Cao and Xun Yu discussed, they decided to follow the policy of Tuntian in Hedong to settle these people. Of course, Cao Cao's Tuntian strategy is slightly different from Wen Han, Cao Cao is from a proud family, and the world's wealthy families are all family, so Cao Cao can't tear his face with the wealthy people in Yanzhou, and he still needs the support of these wealthy families in the future. Therefore, Cao Cao only accounted for 50%, the wealthy accounted for 20%, and the people who cultivated the land accounted for 30%. As for the cultivated wasteland, it was jointly created by the government and wealthy people. In the first year, the grain needed by the people was first spent by the government and wealthy people, and the amount of expenditure was first counted, and then deducted from it when the harvest was made.
In this way, both the government and the wealthy have their own interests, so the wealthy people in Yanzhou strongly support Cao Cao's implementation of Tuntian.
The situation in the north will be decided, and then look at the war in the west.
Let's say that Li Dao and Guo Yan are not only in power, cruel to the people, lawless in Chang'an, but also secretly sent henchmen to serve the Han Emperor and watch his movements. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty acted thornily at this time, and was manipulated by Li Xun and Guo Yan. Imperial court officials, and by the two thieves ascended and lowered. Because of the popularity of the people, Li urged Zhu Jun to enter the court and be appointed as a servant and lead the government together.
One day, people reported that Xiliang was too guarded by Ma Teng, and his brother Han Sui led more than 100,000 troops, killed Chang'an, and claimed to befriend the thief. It turned out that the two generals had sent people into Chang'an, and connected Ma Yu in the service, Chong Shao, and Liu Fan in Zuo Zhonglang, and conspired with the thief party. The three of them secretly dedicated themselves to the emperor, and Feng Ma Teng was the general of Zhengxi and Han Sui was the general of Zhenxi, each of whom received a secret edict and tried to ask for thieves.
At the same time, in order to meet the will of the soldiers of Liangzhou, Li Qi and Guo Yan sent Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to Jingzhao Hongnong to recruit troops in Shangluo. Lu Bu had unparalleled courage in the world, and later worshipped a resourceful strategist Chen Gong as a military advisor in Shangluo. It is said that after this Chen Gong was captured in Lu Zhuang, Zhang Liao saw that Chen Gong was extraordinary, so he knew that it was not a thing in the pool, and kept it by Lu Bu's side, and told Lu Bu to be kind to him.
However, at that time, Lu Bu was still Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and Chen Gong was very disdainful of him. Annoyed Lu Bu, he wanted to unscrew his proud head on the spot several times. However, Chen Gong was not only not afraid of this, but was upright and ignored its threat. Lu Bu was secretly surprised, and remembered Zhang Liao's advice, that is, to go to the killing intent. But what a character Lu Bu is, he naturally has his arrogance, Chen Gong disdains him, how can he bow his head to Chen Gong, so he has rarely had contact with Chen Gong since then. It wasn't until Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo and led the army to guard Shangluo that Chen Gong's attitude towards him changed. Later, on one occasion, Shangluo was besieged and killed by Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other Liangzhou soldiers hated Lu Bu to the core, and even affected the people of his county, threatening to slaughter the city if the city was broken.
Chen Gong couldn't bear the people being implicated, so he personally found Lu Bu and repelled the armies of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou for him. So far, Lu Bu and Chen Gong have cooperated seamlessly, and Zhang Ji and Fan Chou have no longer taken advantage of Lu Bu.
At this time, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were still fighting fiercely with Shangluo and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, and after Li Ji and Guo Yan discussed, they did not dare to let Zhang Ji and Fan Chou withdraw from the battle line at this time. Otherwise, when Lu Bu leads the army to fight back, Chang'an will be in danger.
Li Qi and Guo Yan had no choice but to find Li Ru and ask for advice. Li Ru was taken aback when he heard that Ma Teng and Han Sui were leading the troops again, and after thinking for a while, he said.
"Zhang Ji and Fan Chou can't be transferred. Since this Lu Bu won the Chen Gongtai, he has been like a tiger with wings and is unstoppable. If Shangluo moved, he was afraid that he would move his whole body, and he would be caught by Lu Bu. Therefore, to resist Ma Teng and Han Sui, they can only rely on the 100,000 Liangzhou soldiers in Chang'an.
However, the two generals do not need to worry, Ma Teng and Han Sui's second army came from afar, and we only need to go deep and high, and hold on to resist it. Confucianism thought that it would not take more than 100 days, and his soldiers would run out of food, and they would definitely retreat, and then the two generals would lead troops to chase after them, and Ma Teng and Han would be the second generals, and they could be captured. β
When Li Qi and Guo Yan heard this, they saw that Li Ru's face was relaxed, confident, and there was no hurry. After the two of them looked at each other unconsciously, they were a little fixed in their hearts.
Li Ru has always been a genius in the Liangzhou army, and since Dong Zhuo, his talent has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Liangzhou soldier. Therefore, Li Xuan and Guo Yan reused their tactics, only paid attention to the customs defense, and the soldiers and horses of Ma Teng and Han Sui fought under the city, and did not greet them. Sure enough, the Xiliang army was under the deep ditch and high base, and it could not be attacked for a long time, and as time went by, the Xiliang army lacked food and grass, and the Xiliang soldiers were tired, and their morale was declining day by day.
At the same time, in the county hall in Sanga-nak County.
LΓΌ Bu and Chen Gong heard reports that Li urged Guo Yan to fight with the Xiliang army in Chang'an. Lu Bu habitually set his eyes on Chen Gong, and Chen Gong said with a happy face.
"Shangluo Siege can be solved."
Lu Bu's terrifying tiger eyes lit up suddenly, he knew how resourceful Chen Gong was, since he had said this, he must have a plan, and hurriedly asked Chen Gong.
"What's the trick of the public station, teach me quickly."
Chen Gong can see from Lu Bu's eyes and expressions that he trusts and values himself. Since Lu Bu worshipped him as a military advisor, he was polite and respectful to him, and he obeyed his words. It is a privilege for a strategist to receive this treatment. The woman is pleasing to herself, and the man is a confidant who dies. Chen Gong's heart warmed, and unconsciously he gradually accepted his identity as a military advisor and regarded Lu Bu as his lord.
"This matter is not difficult, as long as you pretend to repair an urgent report and pass it to Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, saying that this Chang'an is in danger. Let the two of them lead the army to the rescue. After Zhang Ji and Fan Chou received it, they must have been very anxious and hurriedly rescued. In a hurry, we will set up an ambush on the way back to their rescue, and we can definitely defeat them. β
"Hahaha. That's a great idea!! The wisdom of the public platform is really amazing. β
"My lord, I praise it. However, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are cautious by nature, I don't know if the lord still remembers Li Ru's handwriting, or maybe there are still letters written by Li Ru to the lord in the past? β
Lu Bu paused, thought for a while, and said.
"Most of the letters that Li Ru wrote to me stayed in Chang'an. But I vaguely remember his handwriting. β
"Good. In this way, I will write a few words first, and the lord will observe it from the sidelines, and the handwriting will look like a seven-point look. β
Chen Gong said, walked to the bookcase and sat down, picked up the pen and wrote the numbers according to various different calligraphy, Lu Bu watched from the side, and made some changes to some of the words written by Chen Gong from memory. Half an hour later, after Chen Gong wrote almost the same words as Li Ru, Chen Gong began to write this fake information.
That night, Lu Bu personally led dozens of light horsemen to gallop out of the city, and after thirty miles away, he secretly noticed a Liangzhou scout team. Lu Bu led the men and horses to ambush in the forest, waiting quietly for a long time, and when the night was hazy, the Liangzhou scout team walked in. Lu Bu suddenly rode out of the shadows, Fang Tian drew a halberd and killed the leading scout chief and the two soldiers beside him in an instant, and the scout team saw that the sneak attack general was the unparalleled Lu Bu in the world, and immediately scattered in fright. At this time, dozens of men and horses brought by Lu Bu in the dark swarmed up and killed all the people and horses of this scout team.
Immediately, Lu Bu asked the soldiers of these scouts to take off their armor, and then ordered his soldiers to pretend to be a Liangzhou scout team, and then handed over the fake emergency report written by Chen Gong to a seemingly alert man, and then Lu Bu said a few more words, and then rushed back to the city.
As for the pseudo-Liangzhou scout team, they rushed back to the Liangzhou camp. The camp of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou is not far away, and the pseudo-Liangzhou scout team chose a random place, and after approaching the camp, they saw that there was a big 'Fan' character on the surrounding banners, and they knew Fan Chou's camp.
The pseudo-Liangzhou scout team, as soon as they entered the camp, became panicked, because the soldiers under Lu Bu's command had all been under Dong Zhuo's command for two or three years, and they also had a bit of flavor when they spoke the Liangzhou dialect. I only heard the pseudo-Liangzhou scout chief, hurriedly shouting a few words to the guards in front of the door in Liangzhou dialect, and those guards were all shocked when they heard it, and hurriedly pointed to the tent where Fan Chou was.
After that, the puppet Liangzhou scout chief hurriedly dismounted, and under the leadership of several Liangzhou sergeants, he ran to Fan Chou's tent in a panic.
"Report~!! General Fan, there is an urgent report from Chang'an!! β
Fan Chou was discussing with Zhang Ji in the tent about the capture of Shangluo, and suddenly heard the emergency report from Chang'an, and the faces of the two changed, and Fan Chou hurriedly shouted.
"Hurry up!"
Soon, the pseudo-Liangzhou scout chief walked into the tent, stared at his expression, and spoke fluently in the Liangzhou dialect.
"General Fan, Chang'an was attacked by the Xiliang Army, and there were people in Chang'an who colluded with the Xiliang Army. This is a secret letter from the military advisor! β
