Chapter 300: Retreat as Advance

Jiang Sheng thought about it and felt that it was not unreasonable, so he summoned Xun Yu to discuss countermeasures, Xun Yu was a Confucian after all, and he might know how to deal with it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After Xun Yu saw the ceremony, he said: "Lord, it is not difficult to crack this game, the key is to know how to make trade-offs." ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Wen Ruo is coming. ”

"After Liu Dai was killed in battle, both the lord and Yuan Shao had expressed the candidates for the Yanzhou pastor, since it was rumored that the lord occupied the state and county, as long as the Yanzhou pastor was ceded to Cao Cao, the rumors would naturally be self-defeating."

Xun Yu saw that Jiang Sheng was silent, and said: "Everyone in the world knows that Xiahou Lan and Zhang Nannan under the command of the lord broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and 100,000 people were surrendered, which directly contributed to the destruction of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. ”

"Meng De is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, if he wins Yanzhou, he will be my fierce rival in the future!"

"My lord, there is a way to choose, it is better to be a strong enemy than to be attacked by the world."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"If this plan wants to work, please also ask the lord to write an apology form and present it to the emperor."

"Apologize?"

"Exactly, the subordinates will draft it for the lord and present it to the lord later."

After Jiang Sheng gave permission, Xun Yu went back to his room to write an apology form. Zhen Yan chatted with Jiang Sheng about some family routines and the customs of the thirteen states in the world, Jiang Sheng was amazed, and hoped that Zhen Yan would expand the intelligence team according to the key points of the intelligence front work formulated by Jiang Sheng.

In the evening, Xun Yu came to see Jiang Sheng with a written apology form.

Jiang Sheng unfolded it, and the content was roughly as follows: I, Jiang Sheng, have fought countless battles for the Han Dynasty, and I have made many achievements, so that some people are jealous and maliciously slandered. Since the world thinks that I am arrogant and occupy the prefecture and county, I have no choice but to ask the emperor for guilt and so on, and write in the table the content of recommending Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou.

Jiang Sheng thought about it and added a sentence to the article: The minister is willing to resign from the post of Jizhou pastor, and recommend Yingchuan virtuous Xun Yu as the Jizhou pastor, and the minister only performs the position of Taiwei and defends the world for the emperor.

Xun Yu saw it and hurriedly knelt down: "My subordinates are only shallow in their studies, how dare they take on the responsibility of state pastor?" ”

"Wen Ruo, looking at the world, your talent is second to none, just one Jizhou, why is it difficult to govern?"

After the apology form was rewritten, Zhen Yan sealed it with fire paint and sent someone to Chang'an.

There was an undercurrent surging in Chang'an, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others were deceitful and engaged in a secret struggle.

The news sent back by Zhen Yan made this clear, Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "It seems that Xi Zhicai has already started operating, so let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

After the letter of apology was presented to Emperor Xian, Emperor Xian said to Li Dao and Guo Yan: "It is said that Taiwei occupies the prefecture and county, and now it seems that it is all rumors and slander. ”

Li Dao said: "Jiang Sheng can really afford to let it go, Jizhou, the richest city in the world, can actually give it up." ”

Shang Shu Jia Xu shook his head and said: "This is Jiang Sheng's retreat, it is clear that he has given up Jizhou and Yanzhou, but everyone knows that Xun Yu, the person he recommended, has already served under him for many years, so Jiang Sheng has saved Cao Cao's life. ”

Emperor Xian said displeasedly: "Wenhe, no matter how you say it, Taiwei is also my brother-in-law, and he has repeatedly saved my life, according to what you say, my Han is also under his control?" ”

Li Dao and the others watched and did not respond, Jia Xu said: "Taiwei has a million armor under his command, which is enough to control the imperial court." ”

Emperor Xian said: "You mean that this big man has to listen to Jiang Sheng?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The emperor is in charge of the army, and he always has to be on guard. ”

"You are always resourceful, I don't know if you ever thought that if Jiang Sheng really controlled the imperial court, would he worship you as a minister?"

Jia Xu was speechless, Xiliang and Jiang Sheng are mortal enemies, Jiang Sheng is in power, how can they have a foothold?

Jia Xu bowed and said, "Weichen is blunt, please forgive the emperor." ”

"Okay, you are all my ministers, Jiang Sheng's move is enough to show that he is loyal to the Han, and I will be approved."

Although the government was controlled by Li Dao and others, Emperor Xian's words still had some weight, so the matter was settled, and Emperor Xian not only did not correct Jiang Sheng's sin, but also comforted him.

Cao Cao had Yanzhou, immediately recruited troops and horses, and sought talents everywhere, and the talented people in the world entered Yanzhou one after another, among the people who defected to Cao Cao, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, and Chen Gong were impressively listed, and Yuan Shao's three sons Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang also joined Cao Cao's camp, and the gossip against Jiang Sheng was operated by Feng Ji, which was also a stepping stone to Cao Cao.

Xun Yu served as the pastor of Jizhou, but the governance decisions were still made by Jiang Sheng, and the various armies in Jizhou were still implemented according to the original goals.

A few days later, Gongsun Zhan asked Tian Kai to lead the army north, and the news of occupying Bohai County began to spread in the world, and Tian Kai did rely on Yangxin, and repeatedly harassed Nanpi, Chonghe and other counties.

Xun Yu "couldn't bear it", denounced Gongsun Zhan's crimes, and then hoped that the emperor would order Jiang Sheng to lead the army to quell the chaos.

From the perspective of the emperor, Jiang Sheng seems to ignore Xun Yu's request to send troops, so Xun Yu asked the emperor to issue an edict, from the perspective of etiquette, Jiang Sheng, as a captain, should lead the army to go out for the emperor's authorization, and obtain the tiger talisman, Xun Yu's move is also just right.

Tiger Fu or something, Emperor Xian didn't have it at all, but at least the princes of a state respected his imperial power, so they symbolically ordered Jiang Sheng to send troops.

Jiang Sheng received the "authorization" of Emperor Xian, so he sent someone to see Tian Kai with a holy decree, hoping that Tian Kai would withdraw his troops on his own.

Tian Kaili ignored it and continued to send troops to harass him, Jiang Sheng ordered all the soldiers and horses, with Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Zhang He as generals, and the soldiers were divided into three ways to kill Xiang Yangxin.

When Tian Kai heard that Jiang Sheng was leading a large army to attack, he hurriedly gathered his troops and horses, set up camp on the outskirts of Yangxin, and was determined to fight with Jiang Sheng.

When Tian Kai was defending Yangxin, Jiang Sheng had sent people to send a lot of crossbows to defend the city, and at this moment, Tian Kai took it out to deal with Jiang Sheng, which made Jiang Sheng's whole army indignant.

But after all, the city guarding crossbow is pediatric, and the improved repeater after Jiang Sheng studied "Taiping Yaoshu" was used for the first time in actual combat.

This crossbow cart is simple to operate, with a large amount of crossbow arrows and a long range, but the disadvantage is that it has almost no defensive function and needs the protection of other troops.

Gao Shun led the heavy infantry to launch a tentative attack first, Tian Kai ordered all the city crossbows at the head of the city to fire a salvo, the heavy infantry moved slowly, but the defense was excellent, and the city crossbows were difficult to hurt a single bit when they fired from a distance.

Jiang Sheng saw the power of the heavy infantry, and heard the slogan shouted by Gao Shun's heavy infantry was "trapped", so he said to Gao Shun: "The duty of the army is to charge into battle, and the heavy infantry under your command has poor mobility, and the charge is not realistic, so it is called 'trapping the camp'!" ”

Gao Shun muttered a few words, bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for the name!" ”
