In the state of Jinan, Qingzhou, in the state pastor's mansion, Diao Chan went to secretly teach Sun Shangxiang martial arts, Bu Qi, Lu Su, Lu Dai and others were dealing with political affairs, and Zhang Liao was reading books with his disciple Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan in the backyard.

"Master." Zhuge Liang watched Zhang Liao read a book, and took advantage of the time to ask: "Liang is confused, why did the master conclude that after Cao Cao sent troops, there would be chaos in Yanzhou?" ”

Sun Quan also looked at it, obviously wanting to know the answer as well.

Zhang Liao closed the book and said: "The teacher has already told you that Yuan Shao's Jizhou Mu and Cao Cao's Yanzhou Mu are both coming from the state capital, what do you think is their biggest weakness?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The foundation is unstable. ”

Sun Quan also nodded hurriedly in response.

Zhang Liao said: "It is the foundation is unstable, in this case, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao took two completely different methods, Yuan Shao connected the local scholars, committed to local governance, and basically opened the war outside Jizhou, and all the wars are mainly to safeguard the interests of Jizhou, so Jizhou is stable, the people love Yuan, and Cao Cao is much worse, he was welcomed by Yanzhou as Yanzhou pastor, but he does not know how to safeguard the interests of Yanzhou, first killed famous people, and then repeatedly sent troops to conquer, contrary to the interests of Yanzhou people, In addition, there is still a prince Zhang Miao in the state, how can he not be betrayed? ”

In fact, the same is true of history, Yuan Shao governed Jizhou for more than ten years, and won the hearts of the people in Jizhou, so that after his death, his two sons fled to Wuhuan, Saibei, and tens of thousands of people followed. And Cao Cao was far inferior to Yuan Shao at the beginning, so the people of Yanzhou exploded his backyard flowers, making him almost homeless, and only three of the eighty counties in Yanzhou did not rebel, which shows how unpopular Lao Cao was in Yanzhou, and he stupidly went to conquer Xuzhou.

However, Yuan Shao was generous and not majestic, won the hearts of the people and did not use talents, and at the beginning of being the pastor of Jizhou, he was greeted by local forces, and they were two local forces, which were congenitally insufficient, which led to his inability to suppress and defeat in internal strife. Although the battle of Guandu increased the damage to Yuan Shao's strength, he occupied the land of Sizhou at that time, and he could completely regroup, but because of the lack of arms, the early stage was too smooth, the start was too high, and he couldn't withstand the blow, so he died of anger all of a sudden, because he was defeated by the horse boy he had been supporting in the early stage, which can be described as digging his own grave.

Cao Cao is not as good as Yuan Shao in winning people's hearts, but he is the best at employing people, and occupies the advantage of the Son of Heaven, while Cao Cao is good at employing people, both grace and power, and Liu Bei is the same character as Xiaoqiang, with a low start, many setbacks, Ma Zai is on top, and he beats the rich and handsome, so he is naturally defeated but not discouraged, and he is persevering, so he has the last laugh.

Of course, these things happened later, and Zhang Liao analyzed and warned himself on weekdays, so he naturally wouldn't tell Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan.

Even so, Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang are already very impressed by Zhang Liao's analysis, and the current Zhuge Liang is not the military advisor who was like a god later, but Zhuge Liang's insight is still extraordinary: "Master, won't Yuan Shao and Cao Cao be subject to local forces in the future, and there will be endless troubles in the future?" ”

Zhang Liao secretly praised his intelligence and nodded, "Exactly." ”

Sun Quan asked, "How can these local forces be pacified, and how can they be allowed to dominate the court officials?" ”

Zhang Liao glanced at Sun Quan in surprise, but did not refuse to answer: "There are two ways, one is to enter the master strongly, not to rely on the local government, and not to be restricted by the local government, and the other is to change the system and disintegrate the foundation of their manipulation of local political affairs......"

Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan both listened quietly, and many of Zhang Liao's insights inspired them a lot.

……

On the evening of the tenth day of Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao had just returned to the house, and suddenly his younger brother Zhang Yue came and said that a friend had come to visit.

Zhang Miao followed Zhang Chao to his house, and when he saw a few people in the house, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and the person who came was Chen Gong and Xu Yan and Wang Kai, and he suddenly knew what was going on in his heart.

"Envoy." After a few people sat down, Chen Gong got straight to the point: "Now the heroes are rising, the world is falling apart, the king is thousands of miles away, when the land of the four battles, the sword is enough to be proud, and counter to others, not to be despised!" Jinzhou army eastward crusade, where it is empty, Lu Bu strong, good at fighting, and temporarily welcome, herding Yanzhou, observing the situation in the world, and adapting to current affairs, this is also a time of vertical and horizontal. ”

"This ......" Zhang Miao hesitated: "I and Meng De are like brothers......"

Chen Gong retorted: "Jun takes him as his brother, how can he take Jun as his brother, Cao Cao went to Xuzhou this time, has seized nearly half of the king's soldiers and horses, this thief acts tyranny, first kill Bian Wenli in front, and then slaughter Xuzhou in the back, what he does, violent and unkind, heaven and man are angry, such a vicious person, he will not tolerate your life in the future." ”

Zhang Miao's face changed continuously, and Xu Yan on the side said: "Zhang Yuanjun must not hesitate, Cao Cao does not need my Yanzhou people, and now there are 80 counties in Yanzhou, and more than 70 counties have responded to kill Cao. ”

"There are so many of them?" Zhang Miao was shocked.

Zhang Chao said: "Yes, Li Feng, Fan Wei, Xu Xi, Mao Hui, Xue Lan, and Xue Yong all responded, and the younger brother also contacted Guo Gong, the assassin of Yuzhou, he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus his brother and Lu Bu, which is enough to control Yanzhou and cut off Cao Cao's retreat." ”

Zhang Miao lingered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, we will welcome Fengxian and conspire for great things!" ”

Chen Gong said: "I went to Hanoi to meet Lu Bu, and he is now poor and has no way out, so he will definitely respond." ”

……

Today, the lower counties, only Hanoi County is the most complicated, the county guard Qiao Mao is in charge of all government affairs in the county, and the military aspect is divided into three departments, Xu Huang is stationed in the west, Zhang Yang is stationed in the northeast, and Lu Bu is stationed in the east.

The sun was shining, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang were sitting opposite each other and drinking, Lu Bu was already drunk, and sighed: "Uncle Zhi, when Wen Yuan asked a certain person to go south and merge with the state, he said that there would be an opportunity, and according to his instructions, he deliberately went to Chen to stay to see Zhang Miao, and then returned to Hanoi every time he practiced soldiers and horses, it has been more than half a year, but now he doesn't see any opportunity to come to the door, I really wait for me, could it be that Wen Yuan deceived me?" ”

Zhang Yang persuaded: "Wen Yuan said that there is an opportunity, but it will not be without a reason, just wait first." ”

Lu Bu said astringently: "I want to kill Dong Zhuo at the beginning, ranked as a general, above Jiuqing, commanding the forbidden army, what a scene, only because Wang Situ was not careful, 100,000 Liangzhou people entered Beijing, only to end up with such a result, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao deceived me, there is nowhere to stay, in this Hanoi, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and now even Gao Shun is not as good, I am really aggrieved." ”

Zhang Yang sighed, at the beginning, they were the three generals of the state, and now Zhang Liao is the best, he is inferior to Lu Bu, the first time he recruited troops in Shangdang was defeated, and then the crusade against Dong Zhuo was fruitless, and he was kidnapped by Yu Fuluo for a year, and later Zhang Liao sent someone to rescue him.

Now his situation is dependent on Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao has never mentioned letting him be attached, and he is also a little reluctant to let his soldiers and horses be dragged in his heart. This is Zhang Yang's character, indecisive and drifting, undoubtedly powerless in this troubled world.

"Bong-first." Zhang Yang saw that Lu Bu had drunk too much, and persuaded: "Let's wait a little longer......

As soon as he finished speaking, a person hurriedly came in to report: "General, there is a person who has come to visit the general, claiming to be Dongjun Chen Palace." ”

"Chen Gong!" Lu Bu's body, who was hazy with wine, was shocked, and he lost his sense of alcohol for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "Is it really Chen Gong?!" ”

The man hurriedly said: "Exactly, the person who came called himself Chen Gong." ”

Lu Bu suddenly refreshed his whole body, stood up, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and greet you, and wait, wait for a certain dress to greet you!" ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was a little incoherent and very happy, Zhang Yang on the side said in surprise: "Fengxian, this Chen Palace is ......"

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said: "At the beginning, Wen Yuan told me that when a person named Chen Gong came to look for me, it was when the opportunity came, and he would not deceive me, and he would not deceive me!" ”

Zhang Yang was surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Liao to be unpredictable, and couldn't help asking: "What opportunity did Wen Yuan say?" ”

Lu Bu calmed down a little and said, "I just said that it was in Yanzhou, and it was not too late to ask him when I arrived in Yanzhou." ”

……

Xuzhou, Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou for the second time, directly from Ren Chengguo attack, the road is familiar, the advance is very fast, the people of Xuzhou are afraid of Cao Ruhu, they have fled, Cao Cao broke five cities in a few days, approaching Tan County.

Tao Qian didn't expect Cao Cao's second attack to be so fast, and hurriedly sent generals Cao Bao and Liu Bei to intercept them outside Tancheng.

As a result, Cao Cao's army came out together, Cao Bao was defeated first, Liu Bei had insufficient control over the newly collected soldiers and horses, and followed by the defeat, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses began to besiege Tancheng, and the city was panicked.

Tao Qian regretted it greatly, and hurriedly summoned Mi Zhu and ordered him to go to Qingzhou to find Zhang Liao for help, but at this time, the city was besieged by Cao Cao, how could he go out of the city for help.

And this battle also made Liu Bei know the gap between himself and Zhang Liao.

In Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao Zhi was satisfied, looked at Tancheng and laughed: "This time it will break Xuzhou, it is ridiculous that Tao Gongzu is stupid and will drive Zhang Liao out of Xuzhou, otherwise if Zhang Liao is married, Wu'an can be so powerful." ”

Cao Ren and other generals were also excited: "My lord, within ten months, I will be able to take Xuzhou." ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed: "Zhang Liao does not help Tao Qian, and he also miscalculated, if I get Xuzhou, and attack Qingzhou at the beginning, Zhang Liao is not afraid, I will capture it, and I will be ashamed before the snow!" ”
