Chapter 10: The hearts of the people are in turmoil
PS: The autumn wind rolls all over the ground and asks for a monthly pass~~~
The sun sets in the west, and the sky is full of sunset.
The figures were very tilted, quietly coming from the distance.
Slowly, I saw clearly, dozens of defeated troops returned to the outside of Jizhou City all the way, staggering, unkempt, destitute, hovering on the edge of life and death.
"Look! Who are they? ”
Seven or eight city guards were there pointing fingers and talking about the soldiers who had come from afar.
"Could it be a deserter?"
A sergeant said.
"It's not going to be defeated again, is it?"
Another sergeant blurted out.
For a while, the city was silent, and with the absolute superiority of strength, it was defeated repeatedly, how is this possible?
Under the city, several soldiers with halberds stopped the group of sergeants and shouted, "What are you doing!?" ”
Woohoo! Woohoo!
The group gasped for breath, their faces were extremely haggard, and one of them barely said hoarsely: "We are back from Liyang!" Defeated! What a miserable defeat. After that, all of them hid their faces and wept bitterly.
Defeated!?
The soldiers defending the city were skeptical, but from this costume and demeanor, it was concluded that this soldier did not lie, and the lord Yuan Shao was really defeated, defeated by the eunuch Cao Cao!
********************
Liyang is defeated!
This matter quickly swept through Jizhou like a plague, and every county around Jizhou.
For a time, the people in Jizhou City were in turmoil, and there were people who abandoned their families and businesses and fled everywhere.
The reason for this is very simple, Cao Cao can slaughter hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou, then it is very likely to slaughter hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yecheng, and Yecheng is an important town in the north, the people are rich and powerful, if Cao thieves rob and rob regardless of reputation, this Yecheng will definitely become a dead city in an instant. A lifeless, depressed dead city.
For Liu Bei, the more chaotic Yecheng is, the better it is to start.
He sent an order to Liu Hui and asked him to hurry up and move on the grounds of running away. Quickly transfer Tian Feng's family and his family.
Originally, Tian Feng's family didn't believe Liu Hui, but Liu Hui persuaded Tian Feng and obtained a token and a handwritten letter from Tian Feng, so as to gain the trust of Tian Feng's family, and Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were quite friendly. Liu Hui and Tian Feng's family persuaded him to leave, and the family also agreed.
And Liu Bei once again dressed up as the defeated army of Yuan's army through the original Qingzhou and Youzhou sergeants in the army, and hyped up the news of Yuan Shao's defeat in Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places, which caused the entire north to fall into extreme panic for a while.
Those wealthy people such as merchants, tycoons, and government offices began to quickly transfer their property and sell their resources in exchange for money, etc., in order to prevent the thieves from coming and plundering.
The Yecheng County Order has no way to deal with the major officials, businessmen, and tycoons, and cannot control, fight, or provoke. Fortunately, he turned a blind eye and let it develop, which was only symbolic interrogation.
Yecheng! It has now become a source of panic.
On this day, in Yecheng, two long train trains ran through almost one-third of Yecheng, and dozens of carriages carrying truckloads of goods drove towards the city gate.
At the gate of the city, seven or eight small officials stared blankly at such a spectacular convoy, which had been the largest migration in the past few days.
"I didn't expect that. Even Tian Beijia is about to migrate, and it seems that the lord is really defeated. ”
"Hmmm! Reasonable. ”
"Alas! I heard that when the lord sent troops at the beginning of the year, Tian Beijia advised the lord to take a break to underestimate the Cao thief, and as a result, there was such a disaster today. What a reckoning! ”
"And that's not all! Hearing about Intian's advice, the lord was very displeased, and he was forced to put him in prison! ”
"And this?"
"Of course! Is that still fake? ”
"No! We have to go home and pack up our things and move, otherwise the thief will come."
"How about coming?"
"Hey! Anyway, let's go, it's too late to go. ”
The train drove to the city gate, and the city gate guard did not even ask questions before letting the city gate go. Liu Hui and Tian Feng, who were hidden in the crowd, drove out of Yecheng in this way.
According to Liu Bei's prior arrangement, after leaving the city, when passing by the mountain where the soldiers were hidden, as soon as Zhang He's family was sent to Qingzhou, the momentum of Qingzhou was already slowly forming, and then he could swagger through Qingzhou to the boundary of Xuzhou.
In the East China Sea of Xuzhou, Jian Yong and Sun Qian were already ready, as soon as they came, they would immediately go to Jingzhou without hesitation!
This is a huge project, it is an extremely dangerous project, it is very likely that there will be death, but even if there is death, it must be forcibly faced, this is the test of troubled times.
At the foot of the mountain!
At this moment, Liu Bei finally saw the legendary Tian Feng, a mature man who was more than half a hundred years old, with a good face, a slight trace of vicissitudes, a pair of sword eyebrows standing tall to the sky, and a good bearing.
Just offended!
This is relative, not absolute. For a Ming lord, Tian Feng is the image of Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, and for the Yong lord, Tian Feng is the type who is tired of looking for death.
Liu Bei excitedly held Tian Feng's hands and said, "Yuan Hao is here, and the Kuang Fu Han Room is expected to be successful!" ”
Tian Feng immediately bowed to the ground: "The contemptible Tian Feng must do his best to assist the lord, in this life and this life, bow down and die!" ”
Liu Bei immediately announced: "Everyone, listen to the order, from now on, Tian Feng will be the lieutenant general of my army, and his order is my order, if you disobey, you will be dealt with according to military law!" ”
"This"
Tian Feng was stunned, and postponed again and again: "Lord! Feng Chu has just arrived, and he has not made an inch, so why should he take on the position of a military commander and general, and hope that the lord will focus on the overall situation and choose others. ”
"What!?"
Liu Bei said indifferently: "Don't Yuan Hao dare to take on this responsibility?" Or are you afraid of gossip from others? ”
Tian Feng was silent.
Liu Bei coughed deliberately, raised his voice by one decibel, and said, "Yuan Hao!" I can't be mistaken. It will be my business to let you be a military advisor, and others can come to me if they are not satisfied; Whether you can do it or not is your business, and all your abilities will be shown, so that everyone can be convinced. ”
Tian Feng was relieved and reluctantly agreed.
Night! It's deep!
In the humble dwelling, only a few candles flickered.
On the hill, Liu Bei looked up at the starry sky, and his heart was melancholy.
I don't know when, Tian Feng came behind him and bowed: "Lord! ”
Liu Bei didn't look back, he knew from his voice that it was Tian Feng, and said indifferently: "It's Yuan Hao, is there something wrong?" ”
Tian Feng asked: "There is a word below, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”
"Yuan Hao, although you and I are ministers, we are also friends, you don't have to be so restrained, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"The purpose of the lord's army entering Jizhou this time is not only to be with the prince in Xiahe, right?"
Liu Bei blurted out: "Of course." ”
Tian Feng showed a faint smile: "If the lord can trust me, can you tell me?" ”
Liu Bei turned around: "Go!" Go back to the house and say. ”
One candle, two heroes.
"Yuan Hao! In fact, this time, I wanted Yuan Cao to win and lose, and it was best not to be deadlocked. ”
Liu Bei got straight to the point and directly stated the ultimate goal.
I thought that Tian Feng would be surprised, but I never thought that this person was indeed calm and calm, as if he had already guessed the ending, which was very surprising.
Tian Feng nodded and asked again, "What is the lord going to do?" ”
Liu Bei smiled lightly: "Now that Yuan Shao is newly defeated, Cao Thief's forces are even more victorious, after several big battles in a row, Cao Thief has become an arrogant soldier, and the arrogant soldier will be defeated, so I think it's time to secretly help Yuan Shao fight the arrogance of Cao Thief." ”
"But as soon as Liyang is broken, at this time, the door of Jizhou is opened, and the Cao thief can gallop more widely, how is the lord going to fight the Cao thief to help Yuan Shao?"
Liu Bei was stunned, his face was a little embarrassed, and said: "There is no really feasible way to do this. ”
Tian Fengyi arched his hand: "Lord! With all due respect, the lord's entry into Jizhou this time could only delay the pace of Yuan Shao's defeat, but it could not stop the victory of Cao Shao at all. ”
"Is there really no way?" Liu Bei said incredulously.
"If the lord has 20,000 troops under his command, then that's fine! But the lord didn't. If you forcibly hinder the Cao thief's soldiers, I am afraid that the main guild will fall into it and will not be able to extricate itself, and will eventually be destroyed by the Cao thief. ”
Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully: "Yes!" The premise of helping others is not to invite disaster to myself, I can't put myself in it in order to save Yuan Shao, it's not worth it. ”
Hiss~
Liu Bei gasped: "Since you can't save Yuan Shao, how should you slow down the attack of the Cao thief?" ”
Tian Feng showed a faint smile, he knew that Liu Bei had agreed with his opinion at this time, so he said: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are old friends, Yuan Shao is the third prince and Cao Thief is a eunuch, and there is a huge gap between the status of the two.
However, Cao thief coerced the Son of Heaven at this time to order the princes, and his momentum had greatly exceeded Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was unwilling, so he sent troops south to attack Cao, which was the reason for the war.
If Yuan Shao is a big victory over Cao Cao, he is in a happy mood, and he is likely to pardon Cao Cao and give him a way to live, but at this time Yuan Shao was defeated, but he was even more hateful in his heart, if he was in Cao Cao's enemy, and Yuan Shao was still famous in Ji Qingyou and the four states and the northern alien races, as long as Yuan Shao lived, then it would be difficult for Cao Cao to completely dominate the north, so if the lord wanted to slow down Cao Shao's soldiers, he only needed to ensure Yuan Shao's life. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he was ecstatic, and immediately excitedly said: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!" Yuan Hao is really a genius in the world. Protecting Yuan Shao's life is simply easy for me Liu Bei. ”
Tian Feng advised: "Don't be too happy, the lord is too early, that Cao thief's fierce generals are like clouds, and he also has rich combat experience, which is really not to be underestimated!" ”
Liu Bei let out a contemptuous laugh: "Hmph! Then give it a try! This battle let Cao Cao know that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and I, Liu Bei, am not a vegetarian! ”
Vegetarian!?
Tian Feng was stunned, what does this mean.
Liu Bei glanced down at Tian Feng, knowing that he was speechless, he immediately changed the topic and said: "I Liu Bei can't guarantee that this general is more brave than the other, even if Cao Thief comes in person, I will hug him a few beards down!" (To be continued.) )
