Chapter 167 The Death of Yuan Shu Liu Bei is out of the cage
Liu Bei signed a military order in court, Cao Cao sent 10,000 troops, with Zhu Ling and Liu Dai (this Liu Dai and Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai are just the same name) as deputies, leading the troops to go out to conquer Yuan Shu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just that these 10,000 soldiers are all old and weak, and Dong Cheng and the others can't help but be secretly worried. When Liu Bei fell, he didn't care, and asked Zhang Fei to lead his own soldiers to go out with the army. I was in a hurry all the way, and when I arrived in Xuzhou, news came that Yuan Shu was dead. Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sent the news back to Xudu, letting Zhu Ling and Liu Dai lead the troops back to Xu, while he and Zhang Fei stayed in Yuzhou.
Zhu Ling was in a hurry and asked, "Why didn't General Zuo return to Xudu with his subordinates?" At that time, how will the subordinates submit orders to the Sikong? ”
Liu Bei's face turned cold, Zhang Fei's beard was full of hair, his eyes were wide, and he said angrily: "My eldest brother asked you to bring the troops back, and you will return, so much to say from there?" A few more verbose words, believe it or not, I will stab you under the horse and sue you for disobeying the order! Even Sikong has nothing to say here. Don't go yet! Waiting for Zhang Fei to stab? “
Liu Bei snorted coldly and said, "Jide! How do you speak like that to a senior general in the army? Why don't you apologize quickly? Let people say that my Liu Bei is not strict with his brother? ”
Zhang Fei glared at Zhu Ling, and then said, "A certain family is not!" But if you don't follow my eldest brother's words, I will punish my eldest brother for partiality, and I will also beat you dozens of boards! ”
This is an apology, obviously a threat, how dare Zhu Ling accept Zhang Fei's apology, and hurriedly said: "It's spiritual!" General Zhang's personality is straightforward, and he has a sincere relationship with the general, what is wrong? The spirit then returned to the commonplace and handed over the order to the commonplace! ”
Liu Bei said: "I was going to return with General Zhu, but as a pastor of Yuzhou, I passed through Yuzhou without inspecting, and I was entrusted by the court!" After I inspect Yuzhou, I will report to Sikong, you go back first! Greet Sikong on my behalf! ”
Zhu Ling and Liu Dai bowed their hands to Liu Bei, and led the army to return to Xudu to hand over the order.
Liu Bei asked Chen Zhi to lead dozens of personal soldiers to Tancheng, and took himself and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals to Chen Jun, and he and Zhang Fei ran to Runan.
It turned out that after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, all the rebels and relatives left, and several generals were beheaded by Liu Shi on the edge of Chen County and the Huai River, and his power was greatly reduced. It's a pity that everyone knows that this Yuan technique can't achieve the climate, and most of them are scattered! The emperor, who had been playing by himself for more than a year, also felt a little weak-hearted, and in another famine year, there was a lack of food, and most of the army was scattered.
Under the persuasion of the minister, he wrote to his eldest brother Yuan Shao: "The Han court has lost the world for a long time, and now the power is at home, competing with each other to divide the territory. This is no different from the situation in the Seven Nations at the weekend, where the law of the jungle eats the strong. The Yuan family should be called the king, and Fu Rui has shown signs! Now you own the land of three states, and there are millions of households. Speaking of strength is incomparably strong, no one is higher than you in terms of virtue! Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but he used the puppet of the Son of Heaven to do his personal affairs! Now that the jade seal is in hand, if you want, I can send it to you at any time! ”
Yuan Shao received Yuan Shu's letter, and without saying a word, Yuan Tan led a heavy army out of Qingzhou to pick up Yuan Shu and return to Jizhou.
After receiving Yuan Tan's letter, I knew that the eldest brother had agreed! took a group of harems and ministers, and nearly 10,000 pieces set off to Qingzhou. I didn't go far, and the food was not enough, so I sent a letter to the generals Lei Bo and Mei Jiu to send food to eat. Who knew that he was rejected by Lei Bo, Yuan Shu had no food and could not walk, and the soldiers were reluctant to go to Jizhou, so they ran a little more, and had to retreat to Jiujiang again. Halfway through, Yuan Shu was hungry in his stomach, and the weather was hot, so he asked the kitchen to get a little honey to quench his thirst. The cook replied, "There's no corn and honey there?" ”
Yuan Shu was tired and thirsty, sat on the bed, was silent for a long time, and said secretly: "I, Yuan Shu, am a famous and proud son, how majestic I was at the beginning, calling for wind and rain, as long as I think of nothing!" The Dong Table Rebellion thought it was an opportunity for my Yuan family, and I climbed high and shouted, and the followers were like clouds. Lead thousands of troops and horses, and hold the life and death of thousands of people in one thought! Even if it's just a little bit of a year! That's the man of man, too! How did you ever think it would end up like this? You can't even get a bowl of bees, what's the point of living? ”
Thinking of this, he shouted: "How could I, Yuan Shu, end up in such a field? He screamed several times and vomited blood and died.
Seeing that Yuan Shu was dead, the ministers hurriedly retreated to Jiujiang, and heard that the court had sent a large army to conquer it, so they hurriedly released the rumor and said, "Yuan Shu has passed away!" Everyone prepared to cross Jiangdong and take refuge in Sun Ce. But was stopped by Lujiang Taishou Liu Xun, this Liu Xun was originally a member of the Yuan family, was appointed by Yuan Shu to guard Lujiang, at this time saw that Yuan Shu was dead, and he was at odds with Sun Ce, and listened to the persuasion of a person engaged in Liu Hao, and intercepted a group of ministers, family members, and subordinates of Yuan Shu.
The most important thing is to get the jade seal in Yuan Shu's hand and give it to Cao Cao as a meeting gift, which will be a great achievement, and even the title of marquis is possible!
Yuan Shu's adviser and general Zhang Xun and others saw Liu Xun asking for the jade seal, and knew that they couldn't hide it so they had to give it to him.
After Liu Xun got the jade seal, he hurriedly asked Liu Hao and several of his cronies to secretly go to Xudu with the jade seal to ask Cao Cao for credit.
At this time, Cao Cao was furious, pointing at Zhu Ling and Liu Dai's noses and scolding: "You are really stupid pigs, I let you watch Liu Bei, and kill them if necessary." Look at you, Liu Bei sent you back with a word. What's the use? Pull me out and chop it off! Cao Cao roared.
Cheng Yu was gloomy and silent.
Xun Yu persuaded: "Zhu Ling and Liu Dai, as deputy generals, in addition to being able to deliberately cheat during the battle and harm Liu Bei, halfway through, the soldiers did not know the truth, and Zhang Fei was always by his side. How was Zhu Ling able to succeed? Please calm your anger! ”
Cao Cao lost his temper, knowing that he couldn't blame them all for this. It's just that Liu Bei took the opportunity to escape, and he said it nicely, and he will return to Xudu after inspecting Yuzhou! The tiger that was released would automatically return to the cage, and he Cao Cao didn't believe it at all!
At this point, I can only find some people to lose their temper and relieve their depression. Hearing Xun Yu's persuasion, he waved his hand and said, "Get out!" ”
Zhu Ling and Liu Dai glanced at each other, and then looked at Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao saw it, he roared: "I want you to get out, didn't you hear?" ”
Xun Yu hurriedly glanced at them and said in a low voice: "Why don't you hurry up and thank Sikong for not killing him, and then withdraw!" ”
When the two heard this, they knew that their lives had been saved, and hurriedly thanked Cao Cao! I felt a cold sweat and ran out in a hurry!
Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu, "Zhongde! What should I do about this? ”
Cheng Yu said gloomily: "At the beginning, I wanted to behead Liu Bei and a few people directly to avoid future troubles, but I didn't say anything because I was afraid of Liu Shi!" Now that Liu Bei has run out, it is like a fish swimming in the sea and a bird flying in the sky, what else can he do? can only let Yu Ban come back and garrison Chen County and Ruyang in Runan with Zhu Ling, and remove Sun Qian to appoint Mao Jue as the Taishou of Chen County, and Liu Dai as the lieutenant of Chen County.
One part of the country is Qiaojun, and Lu Qian is the Taishou of Qiaojun, leaving only half of Runan for Liu Bei to stay, and now it is not possible to fight with Liu Bei for the time being! Once Liu Shi is introduced, the lord is also in danger! At that time, Yuan Shao will be from the north, Liu Shi will be from the west and south, and the lord will be attacked on three sides, and he will be in danger!
Although this Liu Shi has never dealt with him, he looks at his Yuan Shu trilogy, that ruthless and brave, and compared with the tiger and leopard rider of the lord. As long as the Son of Heaven is in our hands, Liu Shi will not move. But if you go to beat him, he is by no means a master who does not fight back, and he is also a master who does not want to suffer! Encircle Liu Bei in half of Runan County, as long as he can't get developed, he won't be too much of a threat to the lord, and when Yuan Benchu is solved, move the capital to Xuzhou or Qingzhou, and then deal with Liu Bei's two brothers! ”
Cao Cao sighed and said, "That's all it takes!" Hate that Kong Rong, when some handles fall into my hands, I will raze his three clans to relieve my hatred! This Liu Shi is a headache! Even if it is tribute, it is not declared. Just as he was talking, the doorman said: "Lujiang Taishou Liu Xun sent someone to Xu, saying that there is something important to report to Sikong!" ”
Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Cao Cao glanced at each other, and said in unison: "The jade seal has fallen!" ”
