Chapter 219
Hearing that Liu Bei actually came to mediate, and the letter implied sarcasm, almost all the generals in the tent became angry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially Guan Hai and other generals, they were even more angry to the extreme.
His two brothers may have amazing martial arts, but he is a good thing, but a weaver and a peddler dares to make noise in front of them.
With a "bang", Guan Hai had already drawn his knife and was about to kill the envoy first.
It stands to reason that those who dare to take on such a mission will not be too bold. The problem is that Liu Bei is just a plain minister, how many talented people can he have under his hands? Even if there is, it is not something that can be wasted on such a task.
The person in charge of delivering the message this time is just an ordinary official in Liu Beiya, at best, he is a little bit of a clever tongue. But in the face of Guan Hai, this little official has long been confused, how can he still give full play to his advantage?
Except for Zhao Yun, who looked unbearable on his face and seemed to want to stop it, the others also watched coldly and did not intend to pay attention to this matter.
The so-called lord humiliated the death of his ministers, then Liu Bei was just a weaver and a peddler, but he secretly ridiculed Yan Shao in his letters, how could they not be angry? Killing a messenger first was just a warning to Liu Bei.
Seeing the little official sitting on the ground in fright, Yan Shao sighed slightly, and just when Guan Hai was about to take the knife, he took the first step to raise his hand. "Stop..."
To say that Guan Hai's martial arts are definitely not as good as Zhang Fei, but his temperament is similar to Zhang Fei, they are the kind that no one can stop as long as his temperament is up. But just like Zhang Fei, there will also be someone in this world who can restrain him, and that person is Yan Shao.
As a general who has followed Yan Shao for the longest time, Guan Hai's relationship with Yan Shao is extraordinary. On weekdays, even if Guan Hai causes any trouble, at least it is not particularly excessive, Yan Shao will help solve it, similar to the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, but there is no brotherhood between Yan Shao and Guan Hai.
If someone else spoke, maybe Guan Hai would just ignore it, but if Yan Shao spoke...
Barely hesitating for a moment, Guan Hai stopped.
The sharp blade stopped no more than a centimeter from the courier's neck, perhaps it was an illusion, and the little official could even feel the hairs on his neck standing upside down.
"My lord?" Guan Hai glanced back at Yan Shao a little strangely, as if he didn't understand why he stopped him.
Yan Shao shook his head. "A certain angry person is that Liu Bei, why bother to embarrass a small official..."
But I'm really not in the mood to embarrass a little official, after all, this is just an ordinary person, just responsible for delivering a letter, and it would be too condescending to lose my life because of this.
What is open-mindedness? It's really hard to say, but at least it's definitely not the work of a big husband to deal with a small official. Moreover, Zhao Yun was next to him, and for this henchman who was still a little pedantic, Yan Shaozhi was very willing to show his lenient side.
Sure enough, after glancing at it with his residual vision, he saw that Zhao Yun's favorability had skyrocketed.
Yan Shao didn't look at the little official either, but just asked Tai Shici. "Ziyi, how are the armament preparations?"
"The grain and grass have been prepared, enough to supply the army for more than half a month, and now the sergeants are cutting wood to build siege equipment, and it should be completed in two days..."
The preparation of grain and grass went smoothly and unexpectedly, and Yan Shao captured at least six or seven cities along the way. Most of them are the same as the original city, at most the kind that only has one or two families. But the little ones added up, and one by one, they also prepared a lot of grain and grass for Yan Shao. What's more, along the way, Yan Shao continued to place the yellow scarves in his hands, each city was as little as thousands or more than tens of thousands, and six or seven cities came down, and the yellow scarves in his hands were at least fifty or sixty thousand.
Now there are only more than 30,000 left, plus the 40,000 soldiers and horses in Yan Shao's hands, about 70,000.
In fact, 70,000 people is not a small number, but the pressure of baggage is significantly reduced compared to before. Not to mention the grain and grass prepared along the way, with the increase in the amount of grain and grass sent by Beihai, Yan Shao's life is obviously much better, and now the grain and grass in the camp are more than half a month, but what is lacking is only the siege equipment...
"Order, attack the city the day after tomorrow!"
When Tai Shi Ci received the order to retreat, Yan Shao looked at the little official and said with a sneer. "Liu Bei didn't come in person, but he called you, a little official, to come, his intentions are really sinister, and he won't bother with you today. Go back and tell the guy who weaves the mat and sells the shoes that this Le'an has made up his mind, and if he has any opinions, let him come in person, and don't make noise like a daughter. β
"Yes, yes, yes..."Just after such a fright, where did the little official dare to continue to stay. After trembling for a while, he fled in a hurry, turned over his horse outside the camp, and galloped straight in the direction of the plain, so that the generals in the camp burst into laughter.
"Okay, don't laugh." Seeing that everyone's laughter seemed to be a little unstoppable, Yan Shao coughed lightly. waited until everyone's laughter stopped, and Yan Shao continued to speak. "No matter who stops it this time, this Le'an will be decided, and the same is true for Wang Xuan's head. However, Liu Bei is not an easy person to weave mats and sell shoes at any time, especially his two brothers are even braver, but they cannot be underestimated..."
"Why should the lord be angry with others and destroy his own prestige!" Hearing Yan Shao say this, Gan Ning became a little dissatisfied. "If Liu Bei really dares to come and find it, although he is not talented, he is willing to behead his head and dedicate it to the lord's account!"
Huang Zhong and the others also clasped their fists together, agreeing with Gan Ning's words.
If you want to say that you are cautious, there are only a few people left such as Zhao Yun and Tai Shici who know the martial arts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Only people of the same rank know how brave Liu Bei's two brothers are, but just like Gan Ning, they are also a little dissatisfied with Yan Shao's words.
Even if that level is so powerful, what can it do? After all, they are just two super-first-class generals, but there are as many as four of them here, and no matter which one of them is inferior, they will not be inferior to each other. Especially Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong, who is in the prime of life, is only afraid that he is inferior to Lu Bu.
This kind of lineup, where is Liu Bei able to compare...
Looking at the generals under his tent, Yan Shao smiled, and felt that he seemed to be thinking too much.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
It took all the little officials all their strength to run back to the plains in a short time.
In front of Liu Bei and others, this little official naturally cried and complained about what happened to him, especially Yan Shao and others' contempt for Liu Bei.
When he heard Yan Shao call Liu Bei a weaver and a peddler, Zhang Fei, who had a violent personality, suddenly became angry and screamed angrily.
The same is true for Guan Yu on the side, Danfeng, who is always squinting on weekdays, opened his eyes violently, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
No matter how many flaws there are in the personalities of the two people, at least one thing that the two have in common is completely in common, that is, their sincere love for Liu Bei, the eldest brother.
Maybe future generations are a little incomprehensible, but I have to say that Liu Bei is indeed two good brothers. Liu Bei in history was drifting for half of his life, and he was able to finally establish the foundation of Shu Han, and these two brothers who have always been by his side can also be said to have contributed a lot.
"Big brother, give me 2,000 soldiers and horses, and I will take that Yan Shao's head to vent my anger to my eldest brother!"
Guan Yu didn't speak, but looking at him, he had an idea with Zhang Fei.
Being so despised by him, how could Liu Bei not be angry, but with his city government, he didn't show half of it, and just sighed.
"Big brother!" Seeing that Liu Bei didn't react at all, Zhang Fei was also a little dissatisfied.
"Big brother, then Yan Shao is going to be hostile to us after all, in this case, why not strike first, if you wait until this Yan Shao takes the other counties in Qingzhou, then there will only be us, I'm afraid..." However, his thoughts are different from Zhang Fei, not just because of Yan Shao's humiliation and Liu Bei's background, but from the larger situation.
At present, the relationship between Yan Shao and Liu Bei can be said to be quite bad, and the children on the roadside in Qingzhou know that Yan Shao has the intention to unify Qingzhou and make the history of Qingzhou after Jiaohe. If you want to sit in this position, the first thing is to grab the panoramic view of Qingzhou, so Pingyuan County, as one of the six counties of Qingzhou, has become a battleground.
Liu Bei, as the plain phase, is of course also within Yan Shao's field of vision, almost a stumbling block. It is conceivable that Yan Shao's attitude towards Liu Bei will be like this, I believe that if he doesn't need it, he will point his troops to the plain, and at that time, several other counties in Qingzhou will be flattened, and only Liu Bei will be left alone, and there is really no possibility of winning at all.
It is better to take advantage of the fact that the counties have not yet been annexed by Yan Shao, and send troops to fight against Yan Shao together.
Pingyuan is also a relatively large-scale county, and there are more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the county. And unlike Wang Xuan's waste, Liu Bei's affinity is also famous, and he is also a very good county guard in the mouth of the family in the county, with his face, it is not difficult to get some support from the familyββββββ more importantly, Yan Shao's actions along the way can be regarded as spreading.
Maybe for Yan Shao, there was a reason for doing this, but others seemed to be Yan Shao plundering other family property.
Plundering the family's property, this kind of thing, only a thief like the Yellow Turban can do it today, and Yan Shao, a Beihai county guard, can actually do it, you can imagine how big a sensation it will be. However, the most important thing is that the people of the world are in danger, and no one knows if they will do anything to them after they really let Yan Shao sit in this position.
If Yan Shao is so bold as to do something to them, then...
Instead of letting Yan Shao do this Qingzhou Thorn History, wouldn't it be more in their interests to change to a more honest one?
This is also the family's strategy, interests first, so if Liu Bei needs some support, those families are still happy. After all, it is better than forcibly plundering Qiang after being captured by Yan Shaoββββββ although after Yan Shao captures Le'an, he will not do this kind of thing of plundering grain again.
Of course, Liu Bei also knew this, but after his heart was moved, Liu Bei shook his head.
With his strength, even if he really helped, it would be useless. The two brothers around him are very powerful, and they can be called 10,000 enemies, but this so-called 10,000 enemies is just an exaggeration, and it is impossible to really be hostile to 10,000 people.
The most important thing is that his two brothers are ten thousand enemies, and Yan Shao's subordinates also have a few fierce generals who can be called ten thousand enemies. Four against two, no matter how you think about it, it will definitely not be him who can win in the end, right?
And...
In the final analysis, his real hole cards are not the soldiers and horses in his hands from beginning to end, but his classmate brother...
As long as he had the support of Gongsun Zhan, he believed that his position in the plains would be as solid as Mount Tai.
It's a pity that he seems to have guessed wrong...
As one of today's heroes and from the Yuan family, how could Yuan Shao be satisfied with the position of a mere county guard?
If Yan Shao is still going to start expanding his territory, let alone Yuan Shao? At that time, Yuan Shao was not in a recession, and when the doorman Fengji suggested that he capture Jizhou, Yuan Shao was very hesitant and couldn't make up his mind.
"Jizhou is strong, our army is hungry, if I can't attack, I won't even have a place to stand." Feng Ji offered a plan: "Han Fu is a mediocre talent, we can secretly make an appointment with Shi Gongsun Zhan, the governor of Liaodong, and let him attack Jizhou in the south." As soon as his army moves, Han Fu will inevitably panic, and we will take the opportunity to send someone who can speak well to explain the stakes to him, and we are not afraid that he will not let him come out of Jizhou. Yuan Shao valued Feng Ji very much, and sure enough, he wrote a letter to Gongsun Zan according to his wishes.
Subsequently, Han Fu's subordinate general Koji Yi rebelled, and Han Fu's crusade was unfavorable, and Yuan Shao sent envoys to make friends with Koji. At the same time, Gongsun Chan sent troops and attacked Jizhou in the south. Han Fu was defeated in a battle and panicked. At this time, Yuan Shao's lobbyists Gao Gan and Xun Chen lost no time in arriving in Yecheng and coerced Han Fu in private.
This Han Fu is also a person who has no idea at all, Gao Gan and Xun Chen don't seem to be very outstanding figures in history, but in fact they are not ordinary people. For example, there seems to be only a record of Yuan Shao's nephew in the history of Gao Gan, but in fact, there is "talent and ambition, and civil and military show." Evaluation.
For Xun Chen, Xun Yu is Xun Yu's brother, Chen Qun once commented. "Xun Wenruo, Gongda, Xiuruo, Youruo, Zhongyu, there is no right today."
With such a character, where will Han Fu be an opponent?
Now Jizhou is Yuan Shao's territory, but Yuan Shao was the land of Jizhou shared with Gongsun Zhan. This Gongsun Chan dispatched troops and horses, but in the end he didn't get anything, how can he give up?
Now that the two sides are already in flames, where can Liu Bei be taken into account?
Well, maybe not?
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
Almost when Yan Shao was preparing for an offensive against Le'an, Gongsun Zhan, who was far away in Youzhou, also received a letter. This letter was written by Liu Bei when he learned that Yan Shao had begun to send troops to the west and sent people to Wang Youzhou.
Looking at the letter sent by Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan closed his eyes and pondered.
As one of the few figures in this era who became a prince as a military general, Gongsun Chan is known for his bravery, especially good at leading soldiers and horses to fight.
It's a pity that Gongsun Chan is brave and fierce, and his resourcefulness is insufficient...
Because of this, Yuan Shao took advantage of it, and finally made a wedding dress for Yuan Shao...
But the current letter has given Gongsun Chan some new ideas...
