Chapter 6 The General of the Shangqing Dynasty

Liu Tong pointed to the other two seals and asked, "Meng Yugong, what are the other two things?" ”

Xu Xuan hurriedly helped Liu Tong up and said, "It's Runan Taishou and Donghai Xiangyin Ribbon!" These two seals were kept privately by me, and I hope to return them to the imperial court one day, and as for the national seal, they were intercepted by me when Yuan Yin escorted Yuan Shu's coffin and his wife back to Lujiang. ”

Chen Gong said: "Meng Yugong, Jun is in great trouble, do you still save this?" ”

Xu Xuan said: "In the past, Su Wu was trapped in the Huns, and he didn't fall into the seven-foot festival, but is this square inch seal?" ”

Liu Tong was very moved after hearing this! Xu Xuan is also a figure like Liu Yu in this era of division and selfish desires, and he still guards his loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

Liu Tong immediately called Wu Ji and instructed: "Wu Ji, you lead 2,000 cavalry to escort Meng Yugong back to Luoyang immediately, and hand over the contents of the package to Mr. Tian Feng." Please Mr. Tian Feng accompany Lord Xu Xuan to present important things to His Majesty! You must be cautious on the road, and you must not lose, otherwise you will not be spared! ”

Xu Xuan saw that Liu Tong immediately sent someone to escort him, and said that he was an old-school loyal and patriotic person, and his heart was inexplicably moved.

I came here because I believed that the father and son of the Liu family were relatives of the Han family, and I was worried that I would not be able to deliver the jade seal to Luoyang safely after a long journey, but I was also worried, afraid that Liu Kuan and his son would be greedy like Sun Jian and his son and Yuan Shu. Now seeing Liu Tong's instructions, he happily followed Wu Ji out.

After Chen Gong and Liu Tong sent Xu Xuan out of the barracks, as soon as they entered the account, they said, "Son! This thing is not available to the princes, how can the prince give it away easily? Even if it is sent, it should be reported to Yan Guogong before making a decision. ”

Liu Tong said with a smile: "I don't know what the public means. Gongtai, you still don't know my father, although my father is not as stupid and loyal as my grandfather, he will not take it for private use. In the final analysis, this thing is a jade, Yuan Shu owns it, and it can't command the world, Your Majesty has lost it, or Your Majesty, this thing is a scourge to many people. If we hide and hesitate, we will be slandered by the whole world. This thing is in Luoyang, which is better than being left in the wilderness, and it is conducive to my northern governor's mansion commanding the world. There is no doubt that my father must have appreciated our move. ”

Liu informed that Chen Gong was sincerely planning the world for his father and son, and if it was replaced by Xun Yu and Xun You, it might not be possible, and they might suggest that they return Liu Xie, even if their father and son were relatives of the Han family.

Chen Gong knew that his father was better than his son, and he also saw that what Liu Tong said was reasonable, so he stopped talking about this matter.

More than ten days later, Liu Tong and others came to the Xian Yu auxiliary army, the army totaled 150,000 horses, came in three ways, and Wuqiu Jian's army joined the division and Lishan, with Xun You, Zang Ba, Pan Feng, Zhao Yun, Liu Qiao and others.

In the big tent, Liu Tong saw them one by one, and they hadn't seen him for many years. Zhao Yun and Liu Qiao both warmly hugged Liu Tong, and they both appreciated it when they saw that the former urchin had become a mighty boy. Liu Qiao was punished by Liu Kuan for borrowing troops to Liu Tong without permission, and he met Liu Tong in a good way.

Liu Tong smiled and said: "The eldest brother himself does not abide by the rules of the army, how can he rely on me, you look at Brother Zijing, he will not lend me soldiers privately!" ”

Saying that, he pulled the lead and blocked him in front of him, Liu Qiao had no choice, "With yours, my master!" With that, he found a seat and sat down.

Wu Qiu Jian invited Xian Yufu to sit in the handsome position, and Xian Yufu invited Liu Tong to sit. The generals knew that Wu Qiu Jian and Xian Yufu were both commanders of the group army, and they didn't know who to sit, so they all set their eyes on Liu Tong, hoping that he would sit in the commander's seat.

Liu Tong saw that everyone couldn't weigh it, and he had no military position, so he definitely couldn't sit down, so he said: "Fighting a war is not a dinner party, why bother talking about these false courtesies, in the coming war, all the generals have to work together." Uncle Xianyu is older, so please take a seat with Uncle Xianyu. ”

Although Liu Tong is closer to Wuqiu Jian, he knows that in Liu Kuan's heart, although Wuqiu Jian is his junior brother and his brother with a different surname, he is not as knowledgeable and talented as Xian Yufu and Tian Yu, who are rare commanders in the Northern Governor's Mansion who are both loyal and all-rounder.

Seeing Liu Tong say this, Xian Yufu sat down humbly. Wu Qiu Jian and Liu Tong also sat down on the left and right, followed by Xun You and Chen Gong. Although both of them are ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, and they are currently fighting outside, they are still the commanders.

Chen Gong and Xun You each reported on the previous battle situation of their respective group armies, and the new generals listened to Chen Gong's description of Liu Tong's new tactics and the burning of Lei Bo's military camp with oil drums thrown by catapults.

Everyone is a person who has been in battle for a long time, and who still can't understand the meaning of this tactic. In particular, attacking cities, capturing passes, and camps will give the national army a great advantage.

Xian Yufu is also an old-school figure, knowing that this method of war is too killing, so he waved his hand to stop everyone from continuing to discuss, and said: "Generals, our army scouts have found out, Taiqing general Ji Ling has persuaded Yuan Yao, the son of Yuan Shu, to surrender to Sun Quan in Runan, and Ji Ling also persuaded Ruyin, Shouchun Han Hao, Chen Ji, Yang Feng, Yang Ding and others to surrender to Sun Quan!" ”

As soon as Xian Yufu's voice fell, everyone was surprised, Liu Tong looked at Wuqiu Jian and Chen Gong, Wuqiu Jian also looked at Xian Yufu in shock, Chen Gong saw Liu Tong's reproachful gaze, lowered his head, and an old face suddenly turned red. Liu Tong also blushed, he has always paid attention to the investigation of news, he has been traveling in the mountains and rivers these days, he is closer to him without the slightest news, but Xian Yufu, who came from afar, has already grasped the news of such a major change.

Liu informed that the matter was serious, originally after Yuan Shu's death, his subordinates were scattered, and it was not difficult to capture the southern part of Yuzhou, but now after Sun Quan received it, it would be difficult to capture it again.

What, General Taiqing? Liu Tong suddenly thought that Xian Yufu was talking about Ji Ling, the general of Taiqing! That's right, Ji Ling uses a three-pointed knife, not many people use this weapon, isn't the long weapon that Taiqing standard is a three-pointed knife, why didn't he think of it! After Sun Quan took power, Taiqing Kan Ze and others were reused, how could Taiqing Jiling not surrender to Sun Quan. This Ji Ling, even if you surrender yourself, how can you encourage all Yuan Shu's subordinates to surrender to Sun Quan!

Wu Qiu Jian also relieved himself and asked: "Everyone, the situation has changed, how our army will act next, please express your opinions." ”

Zang Ba was the older among the generals, and his temper was the hottest, "Two hundred and fifty thousand troops fought over and burned them!" Pan Feng, Liu Qiao and others agreed, shouting and killing. Xian Yufu waved his hand to stop the noise in time, Xian Yufu looked at Chen Gong and Xun You, "Gongtai, Brother Gongda, do you have a good plan to teach me?" ”

Chen Gong looked at Xun You, although Chen Gong was not familiar with Xun You, and when they met for the first time, they had heard of his name for a long time, and they never thought that Xun You squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Tong.

Xun You had learned Liu Tong's wisdom a few years ago, and wanted to see how Liu Tong had grown over the years, Xun You had a long-term plan in his heart, this future master, who had not seen him for a few years, had grown a lot in size, and his bearing was extraordinary, but he didn't know how to plan in the military array.

Chen Gong saw Xun You looking at Liu Tong, and habitually expected Liu Tong to express his opinion. Liu Tong originally wanted to listen to everyone's opinions first, and then talk about his own opinions in combination with everyone's opinions, but now he is the youngest here, Xun You's little eyes have been staring at him, and he can't speak anymore.

"Ladies and gentlemen, war is ultimately fought with strength, armament, food and grass, the quality of soldiers, the bravery of generals, and the strategies of strategists. Although Sun Quan accepted the troops of Yuan Shu in the south of Yuzhou, but Jiangdong has been fighting again and again over the years, and has not had time to recuperate, I also traveled over there just now, and the whole Jiangdong is exhausted, as for the old Yuan Shu, the situation is even more unbearable.

Now the only people who threaten us are Liu Biao and Sun Quan, and we can let Tian Yu, Xu Huang, and Sun Guan go south, press the border with heavy troops, and contain Liu Biao. We can slowly fight Sun Quan in southern Henan. Before, our strategy was to fight a quick battle and prevent Sun Quan from getting involved in southern Henan, but now that Sun Quan has occupied southern Henan, we will fight a war of attrition with him.

Step by step, we attacked city by pond. I have a vast and populous land in the north, and after a few years of recuperation, I have become rich. Sun Quan is poor, does not recuperate, but wades into troubled waters, we can use this war to drag Jiangdong into the quagmire, the bigger and longer the fight, the more Jiangdong can not afford to eat. In the long run, this is good for me in the north.

Now Yizhou and Hanzhong are also fighting more than once, and they have no time to take care of this side. We occupy the right time, place, and people, and this time we must unify Yuzhou. ”
