After all, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong had few soldiers, and under the combined attack of Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and other departments, they suffered a heavy defeat, so they had to retreat slowly and ask Jiang Sheng for help. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Sheng is still on the way back to the east, and this time he is really "lying down". Cao Cao also thought that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were provoked by Jiang Sheng, and even sent Li Dian to continue north to attack Jinan in Qingzhou.

Tang Mao, the minister of Jinan, reported to Xun You on a starry night, and Xun You sent Tai Shici to lead the elite cavalry to aid Jinan and sent a message to Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng is so angry, now is the critical period to welcome the emperor's return to the east, didn't Zhang Miao and Chen Gong roast Jiang Sheng on the fire?

Guo Jia said: "Don't worry, my lord, isn't this a great opportunity to win Yanzhou?" ”

Jiang Sheng shook his head and said: "Cao Cao is not so easy to deal with, he failed in Xuzhou because of Liu Bei's joining, and the defeat was sudden, and now he is surrounded by enemies, not only will he not be discouraged, but he will also stimulate his fighting spirit." Ying Shao's death is enough to say it all. ”

"But Zhang Miao and Chen Gong welcome the lord as the pastor of Yanzhou, if the lord does not come out, all states in the world will not dare to defect to the lord in the future."

"Well, so I want to inform Cao Cao, Chen Gong, and Zhang Miao."

Jiang Sheng left Li Tong to escort Emperor Xian on the flank, and led the main force of the army to advance quickly eastward and go straight to Chenliu County.

Cao Cao was surprised to learn that Jiang Sheng's 100,000 troops were coming straight to Chenliu, and ordered Li Diantun to stop the attack on Jinan in Taishan County, and sent Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Cao Chun and other generals to lead the army to Chenliu County to prevent Jiang Sheng's attack.

Jiang Sheng stationed in the western part of Chenliu County with a strong force, then stopped and sent people to pass Chen Gong and Zhang Miao to rendezvous.

After Zhang Miao and Chen Gong saw the people sent by Jiang Sheng, they were overjoyed, gathered their soldiers and horses, carried grain and grass materials, and walked towards Jiang Sheng's camp.

Xiahoudun planned to intercept and kill halfway, but was stopped by Mao Jue.

"What do you mean?"

"Jiang Sheng's 100,000 army is eyeing Chenliu, if he wants to seize Yanzhou, I'm afraid he has already attacked, and now he summons Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to meet, and he will definitely not invade Yanzhou."

Why is that? Didn't he want Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to meet before attacking? ”

"With Jiang Sheng's 100,000 army, it can completely run rampant in Yanzhou, and the military strength of the lord may not be able to be Jiang Sheng's attack."

"Then what does Jiang Sheng mean by this?"

"He's in an awkward position right now. On the one hand, we must take into account the voices of the government and the opposition and the world, and we must not conquer cities and expand our territory; On the other hand, he didn't want to snub the people who supported him, so he would not occupy Yanzhou, but would collect Zhang Miao and Chen Gong's soldiers and horses, and appoint another person. ”

Jiang Sheng's idea was just as Mao Jue said, after Zhang Miao and Chen Gong arrived, Jiang Sheng invited the two to have a banquet, which made the two confused.

"Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao's expression), Gongtai (Chen Gong's expression), the journey is tiring, I know a little about Bo Yan, and I will wash the dust for the two."

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong looked at each other, and saw that Jiang Sheng had already drunk a full bowl, so they had to drink it.

Jiang Sheng never mentioned the matter of attacking Yanzhou, and only persuaded Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to drink. Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were slightly drunk, and Chen Gong couldn't help but ask: "Ming Gong (the honorific title for the powerful prefect) doesn't mention the matter of attacking Yanzhou, I don't know why?" ”

"Haha, Yanzhou, fish bones."

"Please forgive me for being ignorant, and please speak out."

"If you eat smoothly, you will also have fish bones in your stomach, and there is no fish meat, if you accidentally get stuck, not only will you not even be able to eat the fish bones, but you will also puncture your throat."

Chen Gong is not a fool, he understood when he heard it, and said: "Ming Gong is really wise, he really didn't meet this section in the next, Yanzhou is the land of the four wars, even if it is taken, it will cost a lot of soldiers and horses to defend, Xuzhou Tao Qian, Yuzhou Liu Bei are not easy people, Cao Cao controls Yanzhou, and it is very uncomfortable to deal with the three parties alone." ”

Jiang Sheng said: "That's right, now Qingzhou is in ruins, and we need a peaceful periphery." Now that my army is pressing, but not occupying Yanzhou, it can be regarded as giving Cao Cao enough face, if he invades my Qingzhou, he will be criticized by the world, I believe, Cao Cao will not be stupid. ”

Chen Gong and Zhang Miao understood Jiang Sheng's thoughts, so they expressed their stance to work for Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng did not treat the two of them badly, worshiping Chen Gong as Henan Yin, Zhang Miao as the Taishou of Le'an County, and being reappointed as the Minister of Pingyuan.

After settling Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, Jiang Sheng sent a letter to Cao Cao, explaining that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were not instructed by Jiang Sheng, and said that he had never had the intention of getting involved in Yanzhou, so that Cao Cao could rest assured.

This matter was hyped up by Zhen Yan's people to correct Jiang Sheng's name.

Jiang Sheng led the army to withdraw to Qingzhou, and then sent the Qingzhou battalion to meet Emperor Xian, and went to Yecheng himself.

Earlier, when Dong Zhuo evacuated Luoyang, Luoyang was completely destroyed, and now it is not suitable to settle in, Jiang Sheng persuaded Emperor Xian to temporarily live in Yecheng and arrange for the reconstruction of Luoyang City.

Emperor Xian also agreed, and ordered Jiang Sheng to be fully responsible for rebuilding Luoyang, restoring the scale and prosperity before the destruction, which is not easy for Jiang Sheng, the drawing design is easy to do, but the construction is difficult, and now Yecheng Military Academy and Linzi City are in full swing of construction, and there is no surplus financial and material resources to rebuild Luoyang City.

Xun Yu said to Jiang Sheng: "My lord, the Son of Heaven is here, and the lord can circulate the edict of rebuilding Luoyang to the princes, so that they can contribute people and things to build Luoyang together." ”

"How can the princes obey my commands, each with his own evil child?"

"The emperor is here with the lord, doesn't the lord mean the emperor? The princes each have their own troops, but no one dares to openly break away from the court, although the court is chaotic, but the emperor is still the orthodox son of heaven, the people of the world want it, and the princes do not dare to tear their faces. Even if they don't want to, the lord will fake the name of the Son of Heaven, except for the official title, are they afraid that they will not rush to invest? ”

Guo Jia said: "Brother Wen Ruo, I have an idea. The lord can publish the manpower, material resources, and financial resources invested by the princes, and rank them according to the total amount of investment, from the three princes and nine kings to the state pastor Taishou, and remove them according to the ranking, and the same is true for the marquis, the county marquis, the county marquis, and the township marquis, can be sealed within the princes' sphere of influence, anyway, the court can't control it, so why not be a favor? ”

After Jiang Sheng heard this, he laughed and said, "Fengxiao, I found that you are suitable to be a businessman." ”

"Huh?"

"Your heart is too dark for you!"

"Haha-"

The master and servant laughed happily, and they dug a big hole for the princes of the world with an understatement.

In this era, the idea of imperial power is still the mainstream, and no matter how strong the princes are, they also want the court to confer a big official and a knighthood, so that they can feel at ease.

In order to let Emperor Xian live in Yecheng with peace of mind, Jiang Sheng asked Xun Yu to change the state pastoral mansion into a palace, and the officials of the Jizhou prefecture pastoral mansion moved to the military academy under construction.

The barracks of the guards at the Military Academy have been built and are now vacated for the office of the State Governor's Office, while the guards are temporarily camped in the open field.

Yecheng has now become the temporary capital of the Han Dynasty, everything is ready, just waiting for Emperor Xian to arrive, but the news from this time is not good news.
