Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Chen Zhi took a step forward, and Mao recommended himself: "I'll go!" ”

Dian Wei was dumbfounded and did not react. Liu Bei asked curiously, "Dian Wei, aren't you going?" ”

Dian Wei replied unhurriedly: "If the lord goes, Wei will also go, and if the lord does not go, Wei will not go." ”

Liu Bei was speechless, and turned to Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, you take a brigade of cavalry, take Yangquan, immediately reorganize and surrender the soldiers, and alert the Cao army in Yingshang (northwest of Yangquan, upstream of Yingshui in southern Henan County, Yingshang military fortress). Tao Qian died, and all the princes will say that whether Ying Shang Cao Jun is advancing or retreating, you must urgently tell Shouchun Zhou Yu. ”

Huang Zhong bowed his hand and said generously: "Rest assured, the enemy from the north of Yangquan will be blocked by me, and I will never let the Yangquan road be lost." ”

Liu Bei nodded excitedly: "Yangquan is located in the north of the four lakes (Chengxi Lake, Chengdong Lake, Shaobi Lake, Wabu Lake), stuck in the upper section of Yingshui flowing into Jiujiang County, and there are three major roads sandwiched between the four lakes, all along which are the land of fish and rice, and it will be a prosperous transportation hub in the future." Yuan Shu was ignorant, and he garrisoned in Yangquan, and he didn't even send a general to guard it. I waited for the soldiers to surround Shouchun, and I was worried that the Yangquan garrison would surrender in a hurry, in case they surrendered to the Cao army......"

Liu Bei smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "The scoundrels of the Cao army are even more than mine, once they occupy Yangquan and do not return it, the most convenient way for our army to enter Shouchun from Lu'an will be blocked. This important land where four lakes and one river converge is in the hands of Cao Jun, and if he is not given any benefits, I am afraid it will be difficult to get it back. You have to go north to take Yangquan as soon as possible, select outstanding sergeants in the cavalry, enter the surrender army, and firmly control the Yangquan surrender as a non-commissioned officer, lieutenant, and colonel. In this way, Cao Jun did not dare to peep south. ”

Huang Zhong took the order and left, and Liu Bei waved his hand to greet the rest of the generals: "We will take the surrendered troops and leave immediately, enter Hefei City to rest, and leave for Yicheng early tomorrow morning." ”

Three days later, Liu Bei led Hefei generals Le and Lei Bo to appear at the south gate of Yicheng. When the defenders of Yicheng saw Liu Bei's arrival, they knew that the general trend had gone and surrendered in Kaesong. Subsequently, Liu Bei's cavalry swept all the counties of Jiujiang County for a hundred miles in one day, and within just one month, the counties surrendered, those who fled, and the land of Jiujiang was no longer surnamed Yuan.

Cao Cao's army was stationed in Ruyin, and the vanguard was stationed on the forbidden garrison, and when he learned of Tao Qian's death, he coveted the richness of Xuzhou, and Cao Cao desperately wanted to take the opportunity to seize Xuzhou. In his mind, even if he did not occupy Xuzhou, he would regain the Liang State and Pei State of Yanzhou, recover the entire territory of Yanzhou, and then return to the east to enter Chang'an. It's just that he was afraid that Liu Bei was sitting in Lu'an, and he couldn't figure out his attitude, so Cao Cao came to Xun You to discuss.

Xun Yu persuaded and said: "Lord, the minister thinks it is impossible. In the past, Gaozu (Han) ensured that Guanzhong and Guangwu (Emperor) occupied Hanoi, both of which were the places where they first consolidated their roots and then controlled the world. In this way, the advance can defeat the enemy, and the retreat can also be held, so although the two emperors have difficulties and failures in the process of starting a business, they have finally achieved great things.

The general originally started a career in Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is an important place in the world according to the Yellow River and Jishui, and now although it is dilapidated, it is still easy to cling to it.

Now, our army has defeated Zhang Ji, if the division of troops to attack Chang'an Ma Teng Han Sui (Hangu Pass Battle, Li Dao was killed, Guo Yan's whereabouts are unknown, after Zhang Jinan fled, Ma Teng Han then entered Chang'an to divide the territory), south attack Liu Biao, Ma, Han, Liu will not dare to look west. We took advantage of this gap to command the army to harvest ripe wheat and reserve grain, and then in one fell swoop we could defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui, conquer Chang'an, and then take the opportunity to go south and sweep Jingzhou, so that Cao Gong would have the strength to compete with Liu Bei.

Attacking Ma Teng and Han Sui to the east was an agreement between our army and Liu Xuande, and our army would not only not annoy Liu Bei, but would gain the support of him and the courtiers who supported him. ”

Xun You took a breath, and then said: "If the lord puts down Chang'an now, he doesn't fight, and attacks Xuzhou in the east. Although it can be bordered by the hinterland of Qingzhou. But Xuzhou has always had Liu Bei's support, Chen Deng is fighting side by side with Liu Bei, if you want to fight Xuzhou, you must first provoke Liu Bei, and if you don't solve Liu Bei, our army must not attack Xuzhou brazenly.

Liu Bei was stationed in Lu'an, although he was not on good terms with Sun Quan, and he could not get Sun Quan's assistance in the crisis, but Liu Bei was surrounded by warriors who fought to the death and sought merit, although there were few soldiers, they should not be underestimated. In addition, Liu Bei has been fighting in the east and west for many years, and Qingzhou has never betrayed at all, and Qingzhou is deeply favored by him and is willing to die for him. Even if the general succeeds in the sneak attack and kills Liu Xuande by luck, the general estimates that he can deal with the anger of the four states of Qingdao, Hebei, He, and Youzhou?

Liu Bei died, and Qingzhou will inevitably promote Liu Feng, the son of Liu Bei, as the master, and frantically revenge the enemy, who in the world can stop Qingzhou's anger. Liu Feng has been held since he was an infant to appease the hearts of Qingzhou people. The lord must not hope that Qingzhou will be unstable after Liu Bei's death, and he will search all over Qingzhou, and he will not find anyone who dares to oppose Liu's father and son. And Liu Bei was in Sun Quan's sphere of influence, but Sun Quan did not dare to be angry at all. Lord, Sun Quan may not have understood this, so he didn't dare to move. Sun Quan saw this, my lord, we must not be tempted.

Even if you don't care about these - the lord, Xuzhou was the first to learn the Qingzhou military system, and the Danyang soldiers are known for their bravery, and Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Tao Qian all relied on it to start their careers. Chen Dengcai's level of learning is not to mention for the time being, looking at his unanimous support in Xuzhou, it can be seen that he must be extraordinary - although Liu Bei may have played a great role in it. But the lord you know, Liu Bei has a very poisonous eye for people, how bad can the person he fancy be?

Even if our army can make excuses - for example, issue an edict to him to step up the crusade against Yuan Shu, or let him go south to crusade against Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so as to contain Liu Bei's forces - but the lord, Tao Qian died, and the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou soldiers could not be measured by the Tao Qian era. If we want to win a quick victory before Liu Bei returns to the army, it has created a fait accompli. The lord estimates Chen Deng's skills, how many Yanzhou troops should be deployed? - If there are more left-behind soldiers, the troops in front will not be enough, and if there are fewer left-behind soldiers, the people can only be mobilized to defend the city. In case the Qingzhou soldiers come from Mount Tai and the Xuzhou soldiers come from the Lu country, taking advantage of the looting, the people will be even more afraid, and in this way, Yanzhou will actually be lost.

If Xuzhou can't be taken, where will the general return? Although Tao Qian is dead, Chen Deng is not in Xuzhou, his father Chen Si is still in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others are also there, and Xuzhou City is not easy to conquer. Now that the wheat has been harvested in the East, they will surely defend the field against the general. The general could not attack quickly, plundered and gained nothing, and within ten days, 100,000 horses and horses had not yet fought, and he was already in a predicament.

All this, my lord, I think that even if our army can break through Xuzhou and Chen Deng and Liu Bei return to the army, we still cannot occupy it. ”

Xun You looked at Cao Cao, who was deep in thought, and persuaded him earnestly: "My lord, I want the fish, and the bear's paw is also what I want. In terms of general truth: if things do have a situation where you have to abandon one or the other, it is okay to exchange the big for the small; It is okay to exchange safety for danger; It is also possible to weigh the situation at that time without harming the fundamental stability.

Now, if we seize Xuzhou, we will anger Liu Bei and Chen Deng, who are fighting on the front line, and if the two are combined, our army will no longer be sure of victory, so none of the above three conditions will be beneficial to our army, but our army will owe a great debt of righteousness. Hopefully, the general will think carefully about the situation. ”

Cao Cao was terrified and replied: "The heart of the people, I have to look at Shu, I only see the small profit in front of me, not a reminder from Gongda, I die today and there is no place to bury." ”

Cao Cao then completely dismissed his plan to attack Xuzhou, and began to send a large number of troops into Jingzhou, snatching Liu Biao's wheat, and preparing to fight Ma Teng and Han Sui next year.

Tao Qian died, attached to Tao Qian's small fellow villagers, Guangling, Xiapi, Pengcheng three places to pay taxes and grain to supervise the construction, Duwei (the leader of the militia), famous Buddhists (and Chu Wangying and known as the two founders of Chinese Buddhism, and there are statues), the first white-eyed wolf in the Three Kingdoms, seeing that the situation is not good, decided to find another high branch. At this time, Xue Li, the prime minister of Pengcheng who had an old relationship with Zheng but was forced away by Tao Qian, happened to take refuge in Sun Quantun to live in Qu'a City, which was south of the Yangtze River and across the river from Guangling City.

When Tao Qian was alive, he gathered hundreds of Wuthering Mountains and forests to make capital, indulged his subordinates to loot and kill wantonly, and used the post of governor of the three counties to steal from himself, fill his own pockets, and wantonly accumulate property for his own use, mainly used to build Buddhist temples everywhere and worship Buddha. His behavior not only made Mi Zhu and Sun Qian of the Xuzhou Shu clan look sideways, but also made Chen Deng of the Xuzhou Shi clan dissatisfied.

In order to avoid the liquidation of Chen Deng after taking office, Zhen Rong wanted to take refuge in Xue Li. He took tens of thousands of men and women and 3,000 horses from Pengcheng to Guangling. At that time, Zhao Yu, the former Qingzhou meritorious citizen and Lang evil veteran, was a generation of celebrities and was appointed by Tao Qian as the Taishou of Guangling. Zhao Yu believed in Buddhism, and when he saw the arrival of Zhenrong, he felt very cordial, so he treated this famous Buddhist with the courtesy of a guest without asking the reason. At the same time, he provided food and grass for his Buddhists.

Zhao Yu had worked beside Liu Bei for a period of time, and was contaminated with many of Liu Bei's vices, liking fancy clothes, exquisite utensils, and fine wine and food. Sun Ce rose to Jiangdong, in order to prevent him from attacking Xuzhou in the north, Tao Qian specially asked Liu Bei for a capable warrior to defend along the river, and Liu Bei recommended Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was born in Qingzhou as an army logistical background, and he has a set of means for governing the locality. Guangling has been peaceful for a long time, the money is abundant, Zhao Yu recruited merchants from Qingzhou, and the old investment in Guangling to build a factory, rich in goods. Zhao Yu's food and clothing are gorgeous, which makes Zhen Rong envious.

Liu Bei once reprimanded Zhenrong in Lianyungang, and when Zhao Yu went to Guangling to take office, Liu Bei reminded him to beware of the villain Zhenrong, but Zhao Yu did not believe that this devout believer who built a Buddhist temple and chanted the Buddha every day would be disgusted. Zhao Yu felt hearty, and when he forgot for a while, he drank all the wine in the cup, and there was no ambiguity at all.

Zhenrong has always controlled drinking, at the beginning, he raised a glass to Zhao Yu to persuade him to drink, Zhao Yu drank it all, Zhenrong quietly poured the wine into his sleeve, at this moment, Fang showed the benefits of Eguanbo's belt, inside the big sleeve, even the last few glasses of wine did not show traces. Zhao Yu is in Qingzhou, developed the habit of drinking Qingzhou fruit wine, Qingzhou fruit wine is distilled liquor, the liquor is stronger, five or six cups, Zhao Yu has been slurred, can not see the wine juice on the big sleeves of Zhenrong.

Zhao Yu stopped drinking the cup, and Zhen Rong heard Zhao Yu's words and was proud of being the chief bookkeeper of Liu Bei's army, so he said flatteringly: "I have heard that Liu Bei fought with Lu Bu in the Tiger Prison Pass, Yuan Benchu wanted to assassinate Xuande Gong, Xuande Gong attacked and advanced to the south, detoured to Xuzhou, and killed back to Qingzhou, I heard in the East China Sea that Liu Bei's army has a young master book is Lang evil man, heroic and extraordinary, could it be that the East China Sea people rumored that the master book in the army is Brother Zhao?" ”

Zhao Yu proudly puffed up his chest, drunk and hazy said: "At that time, in addition to the generals, I was the only one who followed the lord in the army as a civil official, and it was rumored in the East China Sea that the master of the army must be me, I had fought the Yellow Turban bandit Zang Ba with the lord in Tancheng, and Zang Ba was intimidated by the authority of my lord, and I surrendered to the ground, I was there, for the first time, I saw Tao Envoy Jun with my own eyes, and I saw Lord Envoy Jun kill Zang Ba. ”

Zhen Rong raised his glass and invited him to drink: "No wonder Brother Zhao's prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the East China Sea, come and come, I salute Brother Zhao and congratulate Brother Zhao on his fame." ”

He couldn't help but drink the wine, Zhao Yu raised his glass with joy, and said humbly: "Where is my prestige, my lord's prestige is famous, I am just a junior officer with the army, it is difficult for the people of the East China Sea to remember my name, hahaha...... Ashamed. ”

After that, Zhao Yu raised his glass and drank it all.

Zhen Rong raised his glass again: "Brother Zhao has followed a good lord, today's Taishou position must be recommended by Xuande Gong, come and come, I will wait for Xuande Gong's longevity and Yongkang, and drink another cup." ”

To celebrate the birthday of his late master, he couldn't help but drink, Zhao Yu reluctantly raised his glass and drank it again.

Zhen Rong raised his glass for the third time to persuade the wine: "When Brother Zhao met Tao Envoy Jun back then, it was the proud time for Lord Jun to use the prestige of Xuande to pacify the East China Sea and unify Xuzhou. Thinking back then, the Lord Jun was full of spirits, and now the immortal has passed away, it is really sad, come, I will wait for another drink, and wish the Lord to enjoy the blessings of the Buddha in the Buddha country. ”

This reason was big enough, Zhao Yu couldn't help but drink, halfway through the drink, Zhao Yu salivated at the corner of his mouth, the wine glass was crooked, and it was poured on the table.

Zhen Rong approached Zhao Yu's side, holding his undrunk wine glass, and said with an unhappy face: "Brother Zhao, how can you not drink the wine for your deceased lord?" Come on, come on, I'll hold the glass, and you drink slowly. ”

After speaking, Zhen Rong held the wine glass, pinched Zhao Yu's nose, and forcibly poured the glass of wine. Zhao Yu drank it all and fell on the case, unconscious.
