Chapter 522: An Unexpected Change
Above the hall, Zhang Liao was looking at the legendary Mi Zhu, who had a calm and graceful bearing, and he couldn't tell that he was a businessman at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Mi Zhu also looked at the legendary Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao's youth was beyond his expectations, but that aura made him dare not despise it in the slightest.
"Xuzhou, don't drive Mi Zhu, I've seen Zhang Yuanjun." Mi Zhu bowed respectfully.
Zhang Liao raised his hand: "Zizhong doesn't have to be polite, let's sit down first." ”
"Ming Gong," Mi Zhu said: "Xuzhou is in danger, Mi Zhu really has no intention of sitting down, this is to ask Ming Gong for help, and hope that Ming Gong will send troops to help, then Xuzhou is grateful." ”
"Sit down." Zhang Liao waved his hand, and when Mi Zhu sat down, he said: "Cao Cao killed innocents in Xuzhou, if it was three days ago, I would definitely do my best to help, but now it is not possible, there have been some changes in Donglai, and it must be dealt with first." ”
Mi Zhu was stunned, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, Kong Rong couldn't help but ask: "Envoy, but I don't know what happened to Donglai?" ”
Zhang Liao sighed and said: "Three days ago, Gongsun Du of Liaodong sent 10,000 soldiers and horses across the sea, and appointed Shi Liuyi, a battalion of governors, threatening to bring Donglai County under the rule of Liaodong. ”
"Liaodong is too shou Gongsun Du?" Kong Rong was taken aback.
Zhang Liaoyao headed: "Now it is no longer Liaodong Taishou, he proclaimed himself Liaodong Marquis and Pingzhou Mu in Liaodong, and posthumously named his father Sun Yan as the Marquis of Jianyi, erected temples and altars, sacrificed heaven and earth, rode Luan, wore royal clothes, set up Yulin Army, and had more than 60,000 elite soldiers, far above the princes of the Central Plains. ”
"Traitors should be punished!" Kong Rong scolded.
Mi Zhu was also quite shocked, he didn't expect such a powerful force to rise quietly in that remote place in Liaodong.
"I was ready to send troops to Xuzhou to help Tao Gongzu, and I could send troops to Xuzhou with Tao Gongzu's permission, but the changes in Liaodong were unexpected." Zhang Liao sighed: "Gongsun Du has been running Liaodong for several years, the ship is big and strong, he came to invade this time, and the coastline of Donglai for hundreds of miles is exposed, which is really difficult to prevent. ”
Gongsun Du's attack was indeed unexpected by Zhang Liao, although Tai Shi Ci and Hao Zhao repelled the Yingzhou assassin Shi Liuyi sent by Gongsun Du, but Zhang Liao knew that they would come sooner or later.
He had already learned from Tai Shi Ci that Gongsun Du was now strong and domineering, and he had suffered a loss, and he would never give up.
Now on the hundreds of miles of coastline in Donglai County, Zhang Liao has arranged hundreds of beacon towers, stationed troops in three places, and if one is attacked, other places can come to help in time, but this kind of defense is still passive.
Zhang Liao originally planned to build a port and ship in the area of Changdao, but now it has to run aground, Changdao is on the road to Liaodong to attack, his naval army is difficult to develop, he will target the area of Jiaodong Bay in the south of Donglai and the Qingdao Port in later generations, preparing to secretly develop a naval army there, and sooner or later there will be a war with Gongsun Du.
After Mi Zhu learned of Zhang Liao's current situation, he said helplessly: "I don't want Zhang Yuanjun to also be invaded by thieves." ”
Zhang Liao groaned: "I heard that although Tao Gongzu was defeated and retreated, he collected all the grain and grass in various cities, Cao Cao fought for many years, Yanzhou was tired, and the grain and grass must be unsustainable. ”
When Mi Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up: "Is this really the case?" ”
Zhang Liao nodded, and sighed again: "However, Cao Cao is bound to win Xuzhou, that is, to withdraw his troops in the spring, and most of them will attack in the summer, and Xuzhou must be prepared for a long-term campaign." ”
For Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Jizhou of the war situation, Zhang Liao is also a little speechless, two years ago Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Liu Biao alliance, Gongsun Chan and Tao Qian, Yuan Shu alliance, at that time Cao Cao, Yuan Shao side of the weak strength, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian how strong, but two years turned out to be a retreat, if Gongsun Chan defeated in pride and tactics, then Yuan Shu and Tao Qian is incompetent, a good hand of cards played so badly.
A pig-like teammate is already a headache, let alone three pig teammates getting together.
This time it was Tao Qian who took the initiative to attack Yanzhou, Zhang Liao didn't have any opinion on this, because Tao Qian and Cao Cao were hostile, Yanzhou and Xuzhou had a battle sooner or later, Tao Qian took advantage of Cao Cao's exhaustion to attack Yuan Shu, and took the opportunity to insert soldiers and horses into Yanzhou, which was completely correct strategically, but the key was that he was defeated and defeated in a mess, which can only be said to be a matter of ability.
Zhang Liao was actually unwilling to fight with Cao Cao and Tao Qian, but he was in Qingzhou, but he couldn't help himself, first, he couldn't let Cao Cao sit big, and second, Cao Cao's massacre in Xuzhou was indeed excessive.
Now that Zhang Liao cherishes the population very much, Cao Cao's actions are undoubtedly brutal and tyrannical, and he should clean it up. It is no wonder that the later Zhuge Liang never thought of taking refuge in Cao Cao, he saw Cao Cao slaughtering Xuzhou with his own eyes when he was a teenager, and thus displaced, obviously extremely disgusted with Cao Cao.
Mi Zhu is not good at strategy, but after listening to Zhang Liao's analysis, he knew that what he said was not bad, his expression was even more gloomy, and he hugged his fists: "In this way, Zhu will retire first and rush back to Xuzhou." ”
Zhang Liao groaned, and said: "Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou in August, and now it is winter, his soldiers and horses lack winter clothes and grain and grass, and most of them will launch more tragic killings in Xuzhou counties before retreating. ”
Mi Zhu's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Let Jun think carefully and love the people like a son, Zhu should keep it in mind." ”
Zhang Liao thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, I will repair a letter to Cao Cao and persuade him to withdraw from the army, whether it is useful or not, but I don't know." ”
Mi Zhu said happily: "Thank you envoy, the people of Xuzhou are grateful." ”
Zhang Liao waved his hand: "The shape is forbidden, you can't send troops, a letter is not enough, the key is that Tao Gongzu can appoint virtuous and fierce generals, purge soldiers and horses, and defeat Cao Cao." ”
Mi Zhu sighed secretly, Tao Qian is now sixty-two years old, not only his energy and courage are not as good as before, but his temperament is not as good as before, most of them are villains, celebrities and celebrities have been suppressed, and the entire Xuzhou has only found Cao Bao as a general, and he has been repeatedly defeated under Cao Cao's attack.
Zhang Liao immediately repaired a letter and asked people to go to Xuzhou with Mi Zhu.
A few days later, Liu Bei sent a letter, saying that he rushed to Xuzhou to support at the request of Tao Qianzhi and took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei away.
Zhang Liao learned the news and was silent for a long time, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to go to Xuzhou, and most of this time he would not come back, and Yuan Shao's forces were afraid that they would take the opportunity to enter the western part of Qingzhou, but they had no time to take care of it for the time being, and they had to go all out to deal with Gongsun Du of Liaodong, once they failed, they would have no place in Qingzhou.
In the next year, there will be successive major battles in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and it seems that he needs to transfer reinforcements.
