Chapter 4 Section 27 Strange Soldiers

In Taigu City, Sun Jian learned that Liu Bei broke into Xuzhou and joined forces with Tao Qian to suppress bandits. At that time, Sun Jian was having lunch, and after hearing the news, Sun Jian threw down his chopsticks and sighed loudly: "Now, Jiaolong has entered the sea." ”

Cheng Pu was puzzled and asked, "Lord, why are you so emotional?" Qingzhou's new assassin history, whether the people can return to Liu Bei's banner, it is difficult to say, the lord alone based on this, judged that Liu Bei will be able to recapture Qingzhou. If this is the case, what is the majesty of the ride? ”

Sun Jian shook his head and sighed: "Demou (Cheng Pu), although you are more wise in my army, it is a pity that you can't see through the beauty of Liu Bei's move. The land of Xuzhou is fertile, and the Yellow Turban Disaster has never entered the lower reaches of the Huai River, so the wealthy families of the scholars have been able to recuperate and recuperate, and their families are rich. Tao Qian has governed Xuzhou for many years, and the people are rich. And Liu Bei's move easily won the support of the people of Xuzhou, and the two richest states in the world have joined hands since then, what do you think will happen?

With the support of Xuzhou, Liu Bei can smoothly enter Langxie, Langxie has his retainer Chen Qun, others dare not accept Liu Bei, his retainer will definitely accept it. Xuzhou Xinding, and Liu Bei has an alliance, the army of Langxi County can be completely withdrawn, Liu Bei can take advantage of the situation to enter Donglai, accept 200,000 prisoners and guard the army of prisoners, so, and then wave the army into Beihai, relying on the support of Kong Rong, to occupy Beihai.

With the support of Beihai, Qingzhou is half in his hands, and then he takes Qi and Le'an, and Jinan County also has to give in. In this way, Qingzhou only left a plain county for Yuan Tan to toss.

Liu Bei took this way to return to Qingzhou, no matter what moves Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan made, they couldn't stop him from taking charge of Qingzhou again.

Looking back five years, Liu Beibu's army was in Pingyin, the far west of the territory, and then the Lang Evil in the far east of the territory, these two moves seem to be idle chess, and now they have played an irreplaceable role - Pingyin City, blocking Yuan Shao's way into Qingzhou, Lang Evil, took Liu Bei back to Qingzhou, Liu Bei made a plan, there are really ghosts and gods unpredictable, could it be that he expected today's situation a few years ago? It's not easy.

Liu Bei has governed Qingzhou for many years, and the farmers have not paid taxes, and the people are happy. When Yuan Tan first entered Qingzhou, he collected taxes extensively, and the people suffered for it. When Liu Bei fled, he did not forget to seek benefits for the people of Qingzhou and win over Xuzhou.

Liu Bei's gaze has already crossed today's dispute, the car ride has completely fallen into the hands, passive everywhere, who will win and who will lose in the future, it can be imagined. ”

Cheng Pu hesitated for a moment and said: "My lord, Liu Bei made an appointment with us when he left, and then he was in a hurry to meet with us, and now, since he has decided to return to Qingzhou, it is better for us to send someone to meet with him quickly and then talk about the alliance." Since he is friendly with Xuzhou, we are allied with him, that is, with Xuzhou. Liu Biao cut off our back road, if Xuzhou is willing to borrow the road, we can also return to our hometown from Xuzhou.

Besides, if we form an alliance with Liu Bei at this moment, we are likely to take advantage of it. At the beginning, as soon as Liu Bei heard that Miss Zhang Yan'er was looted by the Qianghu soldiers and did not know where to go, he immediately put down the Donglai war and sent troops to the tiger prison. Now that he is retreating like this, there must be unwillingness in his heart, and the lord is the person he can entrust, as long as the lord agrees, once he finds Miss Yan'er, he will send her to Qingzhou, I estimate, even if he suffers a little loss, he is willing to form an alliance with us."

Sun Jian thought for a while: "It's okay, our army is not in good gear now, so it's time to blackmail him." Only, who should I send? ”

Cheng Pu suggested: "This person must be smart, and he must have a close relationship with the lord in order to appease Liu Bei's heart, in my opinion, only the eldest prince can be competent." ”

Sun Jian was overjoyed, so he recruited the eldest prince Sun Ce to come, and repeatedly admonished: "Ce'er, you are 15 years old this year, and you have been in the army for a long time, and you have also gone out to see it." I entrust you with one thing now: you go to Qingzhou to negotiate an alliance with Liu Bei.

You must remember that although Liu Bei has asked me now, it is easier to speak. But Liu Bei's advantage is not easy to take advantage of, any kind words he says, you must think twice and then agree. His good heart often harbors plots, you have to look far away, don't be tempted by the small profits in front of him.

When negotiating, you should quarrel with him, don't care about his feelings, you are a child, he will not care about you. Once the agreement is signed, you can rest assured that you can play in Qingzhou, although Liu Bei has many disadvantages, but this person is very trustworthy and will never violate the agreement. Therefore, you must consider every item that falls on the paper, even if Liu Bei gives us a lot of benefits. ”

Sun Ce nodded again and again, and asked with palpitations: "Father, this Liu Bei often keeps plots in his good heart, and there are many disadvantages, so do we still need to associate with him?" ”

Sun Jian nodded and replied: "Liu Bei, although the scholars in the world have a bad reputation, there are many problems. However, he is the most faithful man in the world, and he will definitely do what he promises. In the past, he once told the people that Qingzhou was tax-free for five years so that the people could cultivate. After the saint added taxes, he sold his property and paid taxes for the people. Since then, the name of faith has been transmitted all over the world.

Although Liu Bei loves to take advantage of others, he has something to say in front of him, if you dare to fight with him face to face, you may not be able to take advantage of him, as long as he agreed at the time, even if he suffers a loss, he will admit it afterwards. Therefore, it is easier to deal with him than with others, because afterwards, you don't have to worry about him going back on his word. Just one thing, you have to be able to argue with him and see through his tricks. ”

Sun Ce jumped and said: "In this case, I brought my friend Zhou Yuzhou Gongjin, who is the same age as me and is extremely intelligent. I can't see Liu Bei's tricks, so I'll discuss with him. Even if the two of us villains talk to each other at the table, Liu Bei won't care, father, what do you think? ”

In the city of Langxie Kaiyang, Liu Bei held a teacup and listened to Chen Qun's introduction to the situation in Qingzhou: the war in Donglai has subsided, and after Zhang Zhao arrived, he began to organize the resumption of production. The Qingzhou soldiers, under the leadership of Guan Hai, marched to Luowo and forced Yuan Tan's army to retreat; Guan Yu led the army to Le'an and was preparing to support Guan Hai; Zhang Liao, on the other hand, under the order of Fu Zhi, entered Donglai to collect and surrender prisoners; Tian Chou entered Mount Tai again to stabilize the situation in Mount Tai. Lu Su entered the country of Jibei, and at a distance of 50 kilometers from Pingyin, he built another new city on the edge of the Yellow River, preparing to establish a naval army and set up a defense line on the Yellow River.

"The right army division wrote yesterday, saying that he knew that the main guild had entered Langxie, but now the situation in Qingzhou is unstable, and the right army division did not dare to leave Guanghuan without permission, and came to meet with the lord, and hoped that the lord would understand. Gao Tanglong and the others will arrive in Langxie tomorrow to meet with the main guild. Chen Qun stood beside Liu Bei and reported respectfully.

"Changwen (Chen Qun), I took six legions out of Qingzhou, and now, I only brought back three legions, and more than 10,000 soldiers died for me, which makes me ashamed of the people of Qingzhou, and I don't have the face to go back to Guangzhou."

Chen Qun persuaded: "My lord, this time I sent troops, for the country, and for the people of Qingzhou to fight for a good living environment, if the lord did not attack Dong Zhuo, then there would be such a good opportunity, support the army to go straight to Xuzhou, and seize a port to the south for Qingzhou - Lianyungang." The trade route for Qingzhou's goods to the south will be opened, and the people will be more prosperous.

The princes fought the war, the price of grain elsewhere was 10,000 yuan per stone, the price of grain in Qingzhou was only 30 yuan per stone, and the Huainan trade route was smooth, and the price of grain would be lower in the future. The war in all directions, the people of Duqingzhou are rich, thanks to the gift of the lord."

"Grain is cheap and hurts farmers, grain prices are too low is not a good thing, long article, grain prices are low, it will vigorously support the brewing industry, and the pastry industry also needs strong support, there is a way to bake cakes, dry the cakes into thin slices, add salt and sugar seasonings, can become biscuits, increase the deep processing of grain, food prices will not fall too low. If the farmers are rich, Qingzhou will have sufficient labor and standing soldiers, so that Qingzhou can be rich for a long time. ”

"What the lord is concerned about is, I think, can the government come forward to buy some grain as a reserve, so that the effect of stabilizing grain prices is better. In a famine year, the government can release grain, and in a good year, the government can purchase it, so that the price of grain will not fluctuate too much. ”

Liu Bei nodded: "What Changwen said is reasonable, you have a good rule, go for it." ”

Chen Qun saw that Liu Bei's face had improved, and said cautiously: "Izumo Gaoshun still has a letter to the lord, is the lord reading it now?" ”

Liu Bei was taken aback, and said urgently: "Submit it." ”

In the letter, Gao Shun said bluntly: "Liaodong strategy, not too many troops. Liaodong is Gongsun Du's home world, if our army attacks city by city, the army is under the city, it is the responsibility to defend the land, and the officials in various places have to fight, so that when Liaodong is captured, our army's casualties are also unbearable. On the contrary, if you ignore the surrounding counties and send troops to take Xiangping in Liaodong and Xiangping down, the whole county of Liaodong will surrender without a fight.

Therefore, if the lord lets go and allows Shun to attack Liaodong, 20,000 horses will be enough!

Let the army of Wanghai City attract the army of Gongsun Du on the eastern front, and let the ironclad infantry meet the enemy head-on on the western front. Our light cavalry bypassed the enemy army and took Xiangping directly, so Liaodong went down in one go......

On the other hand, Qingzhou, the lord, is full of enemies. When this time of crisis, the Lord sent to support Shun, and Shun wept with gratitude, but he didn't dare to bear it......

When this letter arrived, Shun had sent Junyi (Zhang He) to lead 10,000 thunder cavalry, and Taishi Ziyi led 10,000 wolf cavalry to Qingzhou. Landing at Longkou. If the lord allows, Shun should be ordered Zilong (Zhao Yun) to command the iron-armored foot soldiers, and Liu Hun will lead the army of Wanghaicheng (Sanhan) to attack Liaodong on both sides. Shun led the thunder to ride 10,000, and took Liaodong for the lord within ten days. ”

"Gao Minglei is so loud," Liu Bei exclaimed: "When did this letter arrive." ”

"Five days ago".

"Well, so to speak, the Thunder Rider Wolf Rider has landed at Longkou, okay. Immediately block the news of the landing of the thunder cavalry and the wolf cavalry, this is a strange soldier when we deal with Yuan Shao, and I will insert it in Yuan Shao's abdomen.

This time in the Tiger Prison, in a fierce battle with the Bingzhou cavalry, I learned a lesson: the only type of army that can deal with cavalry can only be cavalry.

With 20,000 cavalry, I intend to develop Qingzhou into a country of 10,000 horsemen, and everyone is proud of being good at riding and shooting. I already have a whole set of ideas in my heart, and when I arrive in Guanghuan to promulgate and implement, we Qingzhou, and reform the military system from now on. ”
