Chapter 236: The Problem of Alliance
"Who are you?" Looking at Zhang Jian and the others standing outside the prison door, Cai Yong asked with some surprise. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
To say that Cai Yong still had a great influence at this time, especially among the scholars, he also received a lot of care after becoming a prisoner, and even Wang Yun himself did not abuse him because of political disagreements, but because of the proper arrangement of the identity of the other scholar.
At least in the cell where Cai Yong lives now, the yin qi is indeed a little heavier, and it is really not bad in other aspects. Now Cai Yong is not a little embarrassed when he sits inside, as if he is sitting in his own home, but the humid environment is inevitably a little unfavorable to the body, not to mention that Cai Yong is still so old...
"Why do you have to ask so much..."Zhang Jian was a little anxious and a little helpless, you must know that this is a prison cell in Chang'an City. Now Dong Zhuo is indeed dead, but the defense in the city has not weakened at all, on the contrary, in order to prevent Dong Zhuo's remnants from rising up to make trouble, the situation in the city is still very strong, if it is not the second half of the night, or the iron man is also resting, it is really not so easy for them to break in.
"Why is this strong man hiding it? If you don't want to reveal your identity, please ask this strong man to go back first..."Cai Yong also has his own insistence, his current identity is very sensitive, no one knows where these people who came to rescue him in front of him came from, if they came in the wrong direction, then...
"Okay..."Seeing Cai Yong so persistent, Zhang Jian couldn't help it.
In fact, he didn't know about Cai Yan, if he knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't be like this, but he was the father-in-law of his own father-in-law, even if he gave him a few dares, he wouldn't dare to do this.
Don't you see what happened to Zhang Fei after beating Lu Bu's father-in-law in history?
"It's not a secret, we are from Qingzhou, my lord and Cai Gong are old friends, I heard that Cai Gong was in trouble, and I specially sent me to rescue..." To tell you the truth, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up before I came, but fortunately nothing went wrong, otherwise I really don't know how to make a bus to my master. β
"Yan Shao..."Hearing this name, Cai Yong also looked a little surprised.
It's not that he doesn't know why Yan Shao came to save him, it's just because he knows it too well, so he will be surprised. To say that he and Yan Shao are old friends, this is pure nonsense. Yan Shao has a good relationship with Wang Yun, and even has a good relationship with Situ Yang Ci before, but Cai Yong...
Maybe Cai Yong's reputation and title are very big, but unfortunately, Yan Shao has nothing to do with himββββββ it's not surprising, Yan Shao is more or less a martial artist, those who are endowed with poetry and songs, so much so that they can't say that they don't understand it at all, but they are also flute players, aren't they?
But if it's really brilliant or something, I'm afraid this is some...
Cai Yong was a famous literary scholar in the Han Dynasty, and the gap between the two is simply amazing.
However, to say that there is no relationship between the two at all is unlikely. For example, Cai Yan...
Don't look at Cai Yan now living in Qingzhou, this does not mean that she has broken off contact with the outside world. After Cai Yan arrived in Qingzhou with some of the Cai family's people, he sent someone to contact Cai Yong, telling Cai Yong his current experience and situation very clearly, and the purpose was to make Cai Yong feel at ease.
At that time, Cai Yong was trapped in Chang'an City, but as a person personally invited by Dong Zhuo, he received Dong Zhuo's courtesy, at least he was relatively free in all aspects, Dong Zhuo was not worried at all about what this person who only had achievements in literature would have any objectionsββββββ even if he really did, what danger could there be for such a person who could only recite poetry and write articles?
Cai Yan and Cai Yong were also able to get in touch, and Cai Yong was also very worried when he learned that his daughter had moved to Qingzhou, but he was relieved. There are really few people who can be called a paradise at this time, but Beihai is one.
During this period, the two often exchanged letters, because they were all family letters, and they were occasionally intercepted by Dong Zhuo's people, but they didn't say anything.
But when Dong Zhuo died and he was also imprisoned, this connection was also blocked.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
When Cai Yan and Cai Yong exchanged letters with each other, although they did not say it explicitly, many things were also unspoken. How can a smart person like Cai Yong not understand Cai Yan's situation, if you want to say Yan Shao, the two really can't be regarded as old friends, but it is impossible to say that the two have never seen each other at all.
At least when Yan Shao came to Luoyang, the two had met in person. However, the two did not have any in-depth communication at that time, which is also the reason why the two were not very familiar, but Cai Yong's sense of Yan Shao was quite good at that time, and he felt that he was a great young man.
For some things, she didn't show too much resistance, for example, as secretly mentioned in Cai Yan's letter, Yan Shao had some ill intentions against herββββββ etc., after so many things, Cai Yong is also relatively mature, understanding that this world may not be as beautiful as imagined, and the most important thing is that it is more important to live.
In addition, Yan Shao himself is not an extremely vicious figure, at least so far he has not forced Cai Yan to show all this, so from a certain point of view, Yan Shao is also a rare good match. At least in Cai Yong's opinion...
Similarly, this also made him understand why Yan Shao would let people come to rescue himββββββ this is the kindness of his future son-in-law...
"It turns out that you are the people sent by Yan Fuxian..."Looking at these warriors in front of him, Cai Yong bowed slightly. In this way, I will bother you..."
To be able to escape from the cell, of course, he has nothing to refuse, not to mention that this is still from the kindness of his son-in-law, and there is no reason to refuse. He is not an upright old man like Wang Yun, he will not let himself die in a prison cell in order to maintain the law of the country, and more importantly, he still has his own long-cherished wish, that is, to fulfill the wish of writing a book, which is a wish he wants to achieve no matter what.
With Cai Yong's cooperation, of course everything was easy to say, but just as the group was about to leave the cell, the figure who had been listening silently in the opposite cell suddenly spoke. "Are you Yan Fuxian's people? I wonder if you can bring me one? β
"You?" Zhang Jian turned his head sideways to look at this person, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. "Who are you?"
To say that they are all in the same prison, the treatment of this person and Cai Yong is very different. Fortunately, everything in Cai Yong's cell was not bad, he was not abused, not only the room was well arranged, but more importantly, it was placed very properly, and there was even a small bookcase in the corner where he could read or something.
On the other hand, this buddy, the size of the space is the same, but the environment is not half a star. The dirty body in the cell was thrown to the ground, and he himself was completely unkempt, with stubble everywhere in the corners of his mouth, you can imagine how embarrassed he was.
From a certain point of view, this should be what a prisoner should look like, not Cai Yong's.
When the prisoner heard this, he smiled slightly, and said a name that made Zhang Jian's eyes widen a lot.
"Li Ru..."
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
Just when Zhang Jian and the others set off to find a way to rescue Cai Yong, Yan Shao also encountered his own trouble, that is, the problem about the plains.
These tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can't stay in the plain all the time, not to mention anything else, just the grain and grass are enough for Yan Shao to collapse. What's more, if Yan Shao continues to stay, it may not be useful, after all, he can't tear his face with Yuan Shao at present, which also makes him a little dilemma.
Tens of thousands of troops have been staying outside Plains City.
"Sir, do you really have no problem..."Yuan Tan, who leaned over from the top of the city wall and looked down at the tens of thousands of troops, and was still very young, couldn't help but be a little worried.
To say that maybe it is really the family's education that has a way, Yuan Tan's performance far surpasses his peers, and in history, he also relied on his own ability to gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou, successively solved many enemies in Qingzhou, and finally unified the entire Qingzhou.
This kind of ability, no matter from which point of view, is extraordinary, if he can't do this, it also depends on his own strength, and there are many aspects that are not very good, the most important thing is that in the end he is a loser, maybe his evaluation will not be too bad Sun Ceββββββ Sun Ce is close to starting from scratch from a certain point of view, with a small number of soldiers and horses, some veterans who have been loyal to the Sun family, to create their own kingdom.
On the other hand, Yuan Tan's ability is also good, but he started with the assistance of soldiers and horses from his father. And in the process of sweeping, I didn't encounter any particularly powerful enemies, except for a not very famous Tian Kai, which is basically an enemy at the level of Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and I also got indirect help from Cao Cao in the process.
The most important thing is that in the end, his fate was not very good, he was a pure loser, unlike Sun Ce, who was assassinated and killed, which made people lament.
"Don't worry, eldest prince, Yan Shao will never attack the plain at this time, after all, his relationship with the lord is not bad now, it is impossible to be so reckless, this time is enough for the eldest prince to arrange the city defenses, and by the time Yan Shao reacts to all this, the plain has been built by the eldest prince..."
Hearing Xin Ping's words, Yuan Tan was also relieved. "That's fine..."
Yes, that's it...
Just looking at the many soldiers and horses below, Yuan Tan was also worried. The purpose of his visit to Qingzhou this time is very simple, that is, to be able to sweep away all competitors in Qingzhou and eventually become the master of Qingzhou.
But now that Qingzhou already has an owner, to be honest, looking at the situation below, Yuan Tan really feels that it is not easy to repel Yan Shao. It's just that he knows his current situation better, and if he doesn't have some bright enough credit, his identity as an heir may be some...
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth at his younger brother Yuan Shang again, if it weren't for Yuan Shang's relationship, why would he take such a big risk to run out?
Of course, Yuan Tan's expression fell on Xin Ping's eyes, but Xin Ping didn't say anything, just shook his head.
At the same time, Yan Shao under the city was also anxious.
"Lord..."Looking at Yan Shao's swallow, Dong Zhao hurriedly persuaded. For the commander, so flustered, what will the sergeants below think when they see it..."
"I wonder what Gongren can do?" Hearing Dong Zhao's words, Yan Shao hurriedly asked.
"Lord, I'm afraid it's a little difficult for Ping Yuan to get it back from Yuan Shao's hands..."Dong Zhao didn't answer Yan Shao's question directly, but said so.
How could Yan Shao not understand Dong Zhao's words, but for Pingyuan, he was really a little unwilling to give up like this, but if he fought against Yuan Shao like this, Qingzhou's strength alone was not enough.
Don't look at him being able to sweep Qingzhou, that's because the opponent doesn't have much strength, but Yuan Shao is different, there are countless strategists under him, and the generals will not be too inferior, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are all representatives of the fierce generals, Gao Ran and Zhang He are also rare generals, even compared with Yan Shao, they will not be too inferior, but at the level of strategists, they occupy an overwhelming advantage.
In addition, Jizhou is extremely rich, and its own strength cannot be underestimated, but what about Qingzhou? It may seem remarkable, but in fact, it has long been ruined by years of war.
The war competition is not only about the civil and military generals, but also about the strength. How was Shu Han in history? Whether it is a strategist or a general, there are also strategists of the level of Zhuge Liang and Fazheng, but why do they fail repeatedly, isn't it because the gap between Shu Han and Dongwu and Cao Wei in terms of strength at that time is too big?
If it weren't for this, Zhuge Liang had made so many northern expeditions, why didn't any of them succeed?
Therefore, the most important consideration of war is still a question of strength, as for anything else...
What's more, this is the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao or an alliance, if there is a real conflict, I am afraid that we will need to face the situation of being hostile to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time. Although Yuan Shao also has enemies like Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan is just a puppet, how much pressure can he bring to Yuan Shao, on the other hand, Yan Shao himself...
"The lord doesn't have to bother, then Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can form an alliance, why can't the lord find two allies for himself..."Looking at Yan Shao's troubled appearance, Dong Zhao smiled slightly.
"What do you mean?" Yan Shao suddenly realized.
"Gongsun Chan of Youzhou has always been hostile to Yuan Shao, but there is nothing to do about it because he is alone, at this time, the lord sent someone to ask for an alliance, Gongsun Chan will definitely agree, and Tao Qian of Xuzhou has also been under pressure from Cao Cao for a long time, if the lord goes to form an alliance, he must also agree, these two may be useless, but they can share a lot of pressure for the lord, so the lord can concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao?"
