Chapter 230 Liu Biao recognizes his brother Liu Bei seeks war
Three days later, Dong Cheng, Ma Teng and others were punished by Cao Cao, Dong Guifei hanged herself, and Ma Tie, the third son of Du Ma Teng, escaped and returned to Xiliang to tell Ma Chao about his father's change. Cao Cao, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, also immediately ordered Han Sui and Wei Duan to kill Ma Chao immediately.
Dong Cheng and others have been beheaded, but there is still one person who makes Cao Cao really unbearable, and this person is Kong Rong.
Cao Cao asked Hua Xin to sue Kong Rong for colluding with Liu Bei, kidnapping the Son of Heaven, beheading him in the court, and razing the three clans. When the sergeant arrived at Kong Rong's house, Kong Rong's son was not there, and someone informed Kong Rongzi to flee to Nanyang. Kong Rongzi said: "There are eggs under the nest? "Take it easy.
When the news reached Cao Cao's ears, Cao Cao was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood, and scolded: "Xuli Kong Rong taught such a bookworm descendant!" ”
Emperor Liu Xie was injured by random arrows, Dong Cheng and other loyal ministers were executed, and saw the pregnant Concubine Dong Aifei being strangled by Cao Cao, and her heart was not smooth.
Cao Cao had to appoint Liu Xie's two-year-old son, Liu Feng, as emperor.
When he ascended the throne, Liu Feng was too young and had to be held by his mother, Empress Fu, and visited by the minister.
Liu Feng saw the ministers below, with all kinds of faces, and they were singing loudly, crying in fright.
Queen Fu couldn't stop it, so she had to pat Liu Feng's body and coax: "Don't cry!" Don't cry! It's almost over, it's almost over! ”
Although the voice was small, it was heard by the ministers with sharp ears, especially Cao Cao, whose face was even more blue and black, and the others also looked at each other, and ended hastily!
In fact, after Liu Xie's death, Hua Xin and others also persuaded Cao Cao to abolish the emperor and stand on his own, and now Yuan Shao has been defeated, and his strength is the greatest in Cao Cao, so he does not have to be faint and subject to the form. However, Cao Cao thought twice and still made Liu Feng emperor.
At this time, Cao Cao received good news that Sun Ce of Jiangdong was assassinated by Xu Gong's disciples, and Sun Ce's death also made Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief.
The little overlord Sun Ce Xiao'er pacified the chaos in Jiangdong in less than three years, and even Zhang Zhao, a famous man who pretended to be high-minded, was willing to obey him, and Cao Cao didn't care about scruples in his heart.
Receiving the news of Sun Ce's assassination, Cao Cao was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be sad, and pretended to be the decree of the Son of Heaven, giving Sun Ce Sun Shao as the Marquis of Wu, and Sun Quan as the general to capture him.
And Liu Shi really did as Guo Jia said, after Xiahou Yuan returned to Baima and secretly attacked Xiahou Yuan, he retreated. Everything was restored to its original position, only Yuan Shao's army was greatly damaged, and Liu Bei fled into Nanyang.
Cao Cao originally thought that after Liu Bei entered Nanyang, the pressure would be relaxed, would Liu Shi and Liu Bei have a brotherly fight again? This made Cao Cao extremely expectant, but Cao Cao was disappointed.
As soon as Cao Cao's troops retreated, Liu Shi also withdrew all the Nanyang troops to Chang'an, and even the Nanyang county guards were withdrawn, handing over the entire Nanyang to Liu Bei, leaving only 5,000 men and horses to garrison Danshui.
Liu Bei's attack on Xu County failed, retreated to Runan, Cao Cao received Xun Yu's urgency, did not pursue Yuan Shao with victory, but took the victorious army, stormed Runan, Liu Bei was defeated, and fled into Nanyang with the remnants. With the support of Lu Su, Cao Cao was repulsed.
Liu Bei, as a tired and defeated army, was very good at escaping and had already made preparations.
Liu Bei originally wanted to take advantage of Cao Ren's attraction to Dian Wei, Liu Feng, and He Yi to lead elite soldiers to attack Xu Du. Unexpectedly, Cao Ren had already prepared, and Cao Anmin was even more stubborn in defending the city, Dong Cheng, Ma Teng, Chongji, Wu Zilan and others were too poor to capture the city gate, so they were shot by Cao Anmin with arrows. Liu Bei attacked for two days and saw that he couldn't do anything, so he hurriedly retreated. Halfway through, he encountered the Xuzhou assassin Che Zhou and led the troops to intercept and kill, was beheaded by Liu Bei, and slowly retreated into Runan.
The people of Xuzhou and Yuzhou still remember Cao Cao's brutal killing, and seeing that Liu Bei was defeated again, Cao Cao's army would attack soon, and they were frightened and uneasy, and under the arrangement of Liu Bei's group of states, they followed Liu Bei to retreat into Nanyang. There are more than 200,000 people who followed Liu Bei into Nanyang this time, plus He Yi's department.
What made Cao Cao even more unexpected was that in order to block Cao Cao's pursuers, Liu Bei passed through the government and some of the families who had a deep relationship with Cao Cao and all the grain and grass stored by Liu Bei sent people to requisition it, and Cao Cao lost at least one million grains in this one.
After Liu Shi and Liu Bei joined forces to repel Cao's army, regardless of the opinions of some generals, they simply handed over the entire Nanyang to Liu Bei to raise the army, on the grounds that they would not be the second of the Yuan family.
Liu Bei was appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang, Guan Yu was stationed in Wancheng, Guan An and Zhang Xiang were stationed in Luyang and Yexian, Wu Anguo was stationed in Pingshi, and Liu Bei brought Zhang Fei, Yang Feng, Xu Rong, Chen Fang, Chen Dao, and He Yi to Xinye. Zhang Yi, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu were engaged in it, Chen Qun was reluctant to leave Yuzhou, and Liu Bei had to let him.
Everything was arranged for a while, and Liu Bei took Chen Zhi and Sun Qian to visit Liu Biao in Xiangyang.
Liu Bei's name, Liu Biao has already heard of it, hearing Liu Bei's visit, Liu Biao went out of the city to greet him, the two entered the city together, talked in the house, asked about the seniority, the two of them each reported it, and they were still brothers.
Liu Biao smiled: "I'm a few years older than you, and I'm a brother, I don't know if Xuande can agree?" ”
Liu Bei stood up and bowed, "Prepare to see my brother!" ”
Liu Biao laughed, got up and took Liu Bei's hand and said, "Brother Bei!" ”
"Brother!" The two looked at each other and laughed.
Around, officials came to say goodbye.
That night, Liu Biao started a family banquet and invited Liu Bei to the banquet, and Liu Biao introduced his two sons and wife one by one. After three days in Xiangyang, Liu Biao let Liu Bei return to Xinye, and since then the two have often corresponded and talked about some major events in the world.
Jingzhou celebrities also had frequent contacts with Liu Bei, among which Yi Yi and Ma Liang were the most friendly.
On this day, Liu Bei was talking happily with Liu Biao, and the doorman came to say: "Jingnan is urgent!" ”
Liu Biao was shocked and his life came in.
At this time, the doorman took a letter and said: "General Pan sent a message saying that Changsha Taishou is rebelling again, and the general is asked to go to pacify it as soon as possible." ”
Liu Bei saw Liu Biao's gloomy face, and said: "I don't know what is difficult for my brother, my brother is willing to work for my brother." ”
Liu Biao sighed: "Everyone thinks that I am rich in Jingzhou, where I know that when I first came, Nanyang was occupied by Yuan Shu, Nanjun and Jiangxia were mostly divided by thieves, and Sun Ce in Jiangdong repeatedly committed crimes against Jingzhou because of Sun Jian's affairs, and several counties in Jingnan were even more disobedient. In the past few years, he fought in the east and west for his brother, and only the four counties of Jingnan were pacified the year before last, and now Changsha is too guarded by Zhang Xian again. ”
Liu Bei frowned and said: "Changsha is located in Yaojin, bordering Jiangxia and Nanjun in the north, Yuzhang in the east, Wuling in the west, Lingling and Guiyang in the south. Once the impact of the loss is great, the elder brother still made a decision early and sent an army to conquer. ”
Liu Biao sighed: "I received news a few days ago that Sun Ce is dead, and Sun Quan is preparing to raise troops to attack my Jiangxia in order to stabilize Jiangdong, and now there is no general to send!" ”
Liu Bei saw that Liu Biao was embarrassed, got up and said to Liu Biao: "Although my brother is not talented, my brother is in trouble, and my brother is willing to relieve my brother's worries!" ”
Liu Biao was overjoyed when he heard it: "There is a younger brother going on the expedition, why worry about Changsha being uneven?" ”
Liu Bei said again: "It's a pity that although my brother is willing to go out for my brother, his troops are limited, and he has to guard against Cao Cao's invasion of Nanyang." ”
Liu Biaoxi said: "It's okay! What I lack in Jingzhou is a leading general, and the soldiers are still sufficient. If the virtuous brother is willing, I am willing to send 30,000 troops, and Wen is hired as a general, and the virtuous brother only needs to sit in command of the formation! ”
Liu Bei said happily: "That's it! My brother is willing to share his worries for his brother! ”
