Chapter 324: Peace

Zhang Fan had a bad taste, and he took a good slap of Cao Cao, which also ignited the enthusiasm of a group of water friends, after all, it is human nature to see celebrities unlucky and gloat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Cao Gong, I didn't expect you to have today!"

"Ah Gou, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, if you don't believe it, look up, who does the sky bypass?"

"Cao's wife, hahahaha, amused me to death!"

"2333, the fourth master is too much! Be careful that Boss Cao will kill you in the future! ”

"Bitterness is old Cao bitterness."

"Distressed +1."

"Lao Cao, do you remember Liu Da'er on the shore of Daming Lake?"

"Presumptuous! A bunch of Diao people! Since Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the yellow turban is rampant, the world is strife, the society is in danger of being tired, and the living soul is in urgent need of hanging upside down.

"Shut up, I've never seen anyone so brazen!"

"Shut up, I've never seen ......"

……

After Cao Cao went home, he kept wondering what Zhang Fan meant, did he mean something? Or do you beat yourself up in a special way? I couldn't sleep all night long, and I didn't close my eyes until dawn when I couldn't stay up......

In the following month, Cao Cao was more cautious in his words and deeds, and he was more respectful to Zhang Fan, almost responding to requests, and resolutely not giving Zhang Fan any chance to anger himself. The days passed like this, until Zhang Fan sent someone to inform Cao Cao to prepare grain and grass for military supplies, and the final general attack was about to begin.

After more than three months of clearing the wilderness, the millions of Qingzhou yellow turbans have long been exhausted, starving all over the wilderness, riots have occurred from time to time, and morale has dropped again and again......

Under Zhang Fan's vigorous publicity, more and more Qingzhou soldiers defected and took the initiative to surrender to Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan also gave them food and clothing according to the promised conditions, which attracted more Yellow Turban soldiers to defect......

The reason why the Qingzhou Yellow Turban surrendered so happily is also related to Zhang Fan's own mysterious attributes, after all, as a member of the Yellow Turban Sect with Taoism as the program, it is easy to find a sense of belonging in Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan adopted the strategy of pressing step by step, did not fight head-on, but was divided into a number of small units to constantly harass, and the Yellow Turban Army lacked food, so it could only shrink the defense......

In this way, you retreat one foot, I enter nine inches, and the speed of the official army's advance is not slow. Soon Rencheng, Kangfu, Fanxian, Wuyan, Shouzhang, Xuchang, Fucheng, Zhangxian, Dongyulu, and Ningyang of Rencheng and Dongping will be ...... and other counties were all recovered, forcing the Qingzhou soldiers to retreat into Jibei.

Hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou yellow turbans poured into Jibeiguo, mainly concentrated in the three counties of Luxian, Chiping and Sheqiu, especially in Sheqiu.

The Sheqiu County Ya, the most powerful tripartite commander, is urgently convening a meeting to discuss how to deal with the enemy.

The atmosphere in the room was dull, everyone's faces were solemn, no one spoke for a long time, and finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and continued to be silent, and said:

"The messenger I sent to Montenegro for help has returned, Zhang Yan is hard-hearted and refuses to send troops, and we have no reinforcements. Besides, we have retreated to the edge of the Yellow River, and there is no way to retreat, so we can only fight against the water! ”

This person is about thirty or forty years old, he is so short, and his appearance is so inconspicuous, but the cold glint in his eyes tells everyone that this person is by no means an ordinary person, he is Xu He, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai who started the army in Jinan.

Instead of igniting morale, Xu He's words had the opposite effect, and everyone's faces became even more ugly.

Sima Ju was the eldest of the three, with frosty white temples, a tall and thin body, his shoulder blades were up, and his back was slightly hunched, he glanced at Xu He and sighed:

"The name of the white-robed general is well known to the world, and that Zhang Yan is not a fool, how could he take trouble for nothing and add such a strong opponent to himself? In my opinion, we might as well descend! ”

The man sitting opposite Sima Ju was short, round all over, and fat to drip oil. The thick and short neck stalks are all fat, and the round little watermelon-like head seems to be attached to two shoulders. He is the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal who is active in the Changguang area.

"Why surrender? We still have more than 100,000 elites and hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, and we have the strength to fight. ”

Guan Cheng scoffed at Sima Ju's proposal, and immediately objected:

"What kind of virtue is the government, you know it very well, do you think you can survive by surrendering? In September of the seventh year of Guanghe, Nanyang Han Zhong surrendered to Zhu Jun, but was killed by Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, and all the 30,000 soldiers accompanying him were killed. Have you forgotten all this bloody lesson? ”

Sima Ju groaned: "At this time and that time, when the yellow scarf swept the world, like the sun, the government naturally wanted to make an example of one hundred and severely punish it; Now that we are already in thin weather, it is impossible to pose a threat to the imperial court, and the government is naturally willing to open the net......"

Guan Cheng sneered: "This is all your own wishful thinking. Have you ever been an official? You know what they think? What do you think of us? In their eyes, we are all military feats that can move, and we are the capital for them to increase their official ranks! ”

Sima Ju shook his head and said, "It may be the case for others, but Zhang Renfu is ranked as a general, champion Hou, and Yanzhou Mu at the age of a weak crown, and he has long been a supreme minister. Even if he kills us all, he won't be able to go any further......"

Guan Cheng was very exploited by local corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the early years, and he had long hated the government, and he couldn't listen to Sima Ju's persuasion at all, so he snorted coldly and said:

"Humph! The world is as black as a crow. Zhang Fan became a feudal official at a young age, and he must be more ruthless than ordinary people, how can he give us a way to live? ”

Sima Ju said helplessly: "Zhang Renfu was born to plant, he is a genius of the world, how can he compare with ordinary human beings?" He recovered 600,000 Shanyue, and now he is also safe? Since he can accept even aliens, let alone us? ”

Guan Cheng was speechless for a while, his face turned red, and he glared at Sima Ju and scolded:

"Old horseman, did you receive the benefits of Zhang Fan? Did he secretly betray his brother, why did he always help Zhang Fan speak? ”

Sima Ju was already not afraid, slapped the table, and choked on his neck:

"Nonsense! I'm just thinking about it for everyone's sake. Who is like you who will shout like you have no brains? How! The sound is reasonable? Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid. ”

Seeing that the two are tense and the conflict is about to escalate, how can their own people still be on the bar at the moment of this great enemy? Xu He hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker and separated the two temporarily.

Xu He said in a thoughtful tone: "In my opinion, there is a certain amount of truth in the words of the two Qu Shuai, why don't we send an envoy to negotiate with Zhang Fan to see what Zhang Fan thinks, and then make a calculation, what do you think?" ”

Sima Ju immediately said: "This proposal is good, first figure out Zhang Fan's thoughts, and then decide whether to fight or peace......

Guan Cheng said disdainfully: "Hmph! The officials have one thing in front of them and one thing behind their backs, who knows if what they say is true or false? After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left......

Looking at Guan Cheng's back, a cold light flashed in Sima Ju's eyes, and he sneered:

"This Guan Cheng is bent on death, so let's leave him alone. Let's let him try Zhang Fan's strength, if Zhang Fan is really as rumored, let's resign ourselves to it! ”

Xu He continued: "If Guan Cheng bargains cheaply, we will also take advantage of the situation to help Guan Cheng destroy him together......"

Sima Ju stroked his palms and laughed: "Exactly, talking to smart people is comfortable." This Guan Cheng's brain is very stupid, but the fifty or sixty thousand elites under his command should not be underestimated, and look at Zhang Fan's sword is not good......"

Xu He asked, "Then is this envoy still sending?" ”

Sima Ju said without hesitation: "Of course you have to send it, after all, it is safe to prepare with both hands!" ”

Xu He nodded, "That makes sense." Then it's decided......" (To be continued.) )
