Chapter VIII Soldiers Sent to Qingzhou
Speaking of which, even Gao Ye himself didn't understand how he had so many thoughts in an instant. Sentimentality www.biquge.info pen, fun, and pavilion has never been his style, but Chen Tao's two sentences have always echoed in his mind. Now that Xu Huang's department is the vanguard, the soldiers have pointed directly at Laiwu County in Taishan County. This place is only three hundred miles away from Kongrong's Beihai City. Now Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses are mostly gathered in the Linzi area of Qi State, and they will continue to attack Beihai as long as the spring flowers bloom.
Speaking of Yuan Tan, who has spent so much time under Beihai City, he has long been holding back the fire in his belly. Originally, I thought that with the scholar Kong Wenju, it would definitely be an easy thing to take Beihai and occupy Qingzhou by myself. After all, Tian Kai, who has been in battle for a long time, is not his opponent, and he was driven back to Youzhou by himself in a daze, what does a hole Rong get? But what I didn't expect was the young general under Kong Rong, don't look at his age, but the means are really extraordinary. With the thousands of people and horses in Beihai, they were stunned to guard the city.
In fact, he blames himself for not having enough soldiers and horses now, and the soldiers and horses in Jizhou have been transferred by Yuan Shao to attack Youzhou, and there are only 30,000 horses under his command. However, I thought that I only had a county in the plains at the beginning, and after I defeated Tian Kai with 30,000 horses and horses in my hands, counting the battle losses, plus the defenders scattered to various places, although my territory has expanded a lot, there are not many soldiers left in my hands. This made Pan Zhang's guy in the limelight in Beihai. Although he can recruit the army, Pan Zhang can do the same. Now that I have spent two years in Qingzhou, how many years can I afford it?
Yuan Tan, who was full of sadness, and Xin Ping, who was full of smiles on his face, really had a huge contrast here. People say that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry, but now for the two of them, it is just the opposite. Yuan Tan couldn't wait to take Beihai tomorrow and occupy Qingzhou the day after tomorrow, but Xin Ping was calm at this time, and persuaded Yuan Tan to be calm and not impatient, and slowly try to do it.
"Mr. Zhongzhi, you always said that you want to take it slowly, this has been delayed for two years, Beihai City is still in Kong Rong's hands, how can you let me not be anxious? You don't know that my father prefers the third brother, if I don't have the credit to get my hands on, how can I suppress the third brother and inherit my father's inheritance in the future? ”
"Haha, the eldest prince is wrong. Now that the lord is in his prime, it is not the time to establish an heir, and the eldest prince has time. Now that the lord has sent the eldest prince to Qingzhou, isn't he training the eldest prince? Don't look at the third prince who is staying in Jizhou now, it seems to be a favor, but the third prince has been staying in Jizhou, how can he get military merits and gain a foothold in the army? The eldest prince now has the credit for seizing the land of the three counties, how can the third prince compare? ”
"That's right, but my second brother went to Youzhou with his father this time, even if the third brother is still young and has no military merits. But the second brother follows his father this time, and he will have military exploits, how can I not worry in my heart? This Pan Zhang is really hateful! I can't wait to break it to pieces! ”
"The eldest prince doesn't have to be anxious. Even if the second prince follows the lord and makes some gains, how can he compare with the eldest prince to be alone? That Tian Kai is also a character, and in the end, he was not defeated in the hands of the eldest prince? Besides, Beihai is now at the end of the strong crossbow, two years have passed, although Beihai has Liu Bei's help, but the eldest prince found out, Cao Cao actually died down, and did not have the idea of fighting Xuzhou, the eldest prince can understand why? ”
"Hmph, then Cao Cao acted like this, how do I know why? Sir, I'm talking about Qingzhou now, what are you doing when you go to Cao Cao? ”
"The eldest son, I'm talking about Qingzhou. Then why didn't Cao Cao attack Xuzhou? It's just to sit back and watch Liu Bei and Lu Bu fight. If the two of them fight, it will be easy for Cao Cao to take the land of Xuzhou. Similarly, when the two of them fight, it will be difficult for Beihai to have Liu Bei's support, and when that time comes, it will not be easy for the eldest prince to take Beihai? That Pan Zhang is indeed talented, and the eldest prince should take his heart and think that it is right for his own use. ”
"What the gentleman said is very true." Yuan Tan suddenly realized at this moment, and then gave up. Before he was about to speak again, a soldier outside the tent hurriedly ran in, knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand: "General Qiyu, scout urgent report, Cao Cao is now taking Gao Ye as the general and Xu Huang as the vanguard, and he is coming to Qingzhou." Xu Huang's soldiers and horses have arrived in Laiwu. ”
"What! The night is coming! Yuan Tan couldn't help but be shocked and angry when he heard this. The angry thing is that he has been fighting Qingzhou for so long, and now someone actually comes to pick peaches. I was shocked that the person who picked peaches was famous, and when I was a child, I heard Yuan Shao praise this person for using soldiers like a god. In this way, do you still have anything to play in Qingzhou?
Xin Ping was also stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to not only send troops to Xuzhou, but to send troops to Qingzhou, which was really calculating! Xin Ping is not a stupid person, and in a flash of light, he understood Cao Caojun's tricks, which was nothing more than to tell Liu Bei and Lu Bu that he intended to be in Qingzhou and not in Xuzhou, so that the two of them could fight as soon as possible. But if you see it, you can see it, but how to deal with it is also a problem. Especially when Yuan Tan looked at him, his heart became even more anxious.
Speaking of which, although he is now working under Yuan Shao's account, in terms of status, he is far less valued by Yuan Shao than Hebei celebrities such as Tian Feng and Fu Zhu. It is precisely because of this that he wants to compete for a first move, and takes the initiative to lean towards Yuan Tan's side, in order to be regarded as a minister of Yuan Cong after Yuan Tan ascends to the throne in the future. But if you want to get Yuan Tan's attention, you must come up with the corresponding skills, and only when you are needed can you ensure that your position in Yuan Tan's heart will be prosperous at that time.
Therefore, Xin Ping laughed dryly at this time and said: "That high night is coming, but it doesn't hurt." Now in the Linzi area, there are soldiers and horses of our army here, and the eldest prince is the justifiable Qingzhou Thorn History. The high night master is unknown, what is there to fear? What's more, even if Gao Ye marches, he will inevitably hit Beihai first, which is also the reason why his vanguard army went straight to Laiwu. After all, if it attacks our army, it will be an official open war with the Lord, and Cao Mengde will definitely not allow it. That Beihai Kong Rong now has Liu Bei's help, and there are people like Pan Zhang who are good at fighting, and Gao Ye is going to war, but I am afraid that he will not be able to please him. When he suffered a loss under Beihai City, the eldest prince led the army to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and under the enemy's back, Gao Ye's army was not worried. The more Xin Ping said, the more confident he felt. After all, how difficult Pan Zhang in Beihai City is, he has already understood. Xin Ping didn't believe it, Gao Ye was really so godly, and he could easily take Beihai City.
Beihai is not down, and Gao Ye has no place in Qingzhou. Yuan Tan, as the assassin of Qingzhou, is responsible for the jurisdiction of Qingzhou. Although Gao Ye was a general at this time, he did not have the right to dictate to the place. At that time, it will not only have the name of righteousness, but also the power of the army, and will not worry about the high night and will not retreat.
Yuan Tan listened, although his heart was a little settled, but the feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense. At the same time, Kong Rong in Beihai City also received the news, and above the lobby, Kong Beihai, who was known as "the seats are always full, and the wine in the cup is not dry", was also full of sadness. Now that Qingzhou has a Yuan Tan, it is enough to toss himself, and now there is another high night...... Perhaps, he can let Yuan Tan and Gao Ye compete, so that he can sit and reap the benefits?
But as soon as this idea was proposed, it was vetoed by Pan Zhang, who was the next head. Speaking of which, Pan Zhang has been fighting in Beihai City in the past two years, and the most important thing is that he has never interfered in political affairs, which makes Kong Rong feel very relieved. And he is a weak scholar who doesn't know how to fight, when the Yellow Turban thieves came to besiege him, he still relied on Tai Shici to invite Liu Bei to drive them away. Now facing Yuan Shaojun, who is several times more elite than the Yellow Turban Thief, how can he deal with it without a general like Pan Zhang?
Therefore, as soon as Pan Zhang spoke, even if Kong Rong had never looked down on these soldiers, he couldn't help but listen carefully. "My lord, the vanguard of the night is the general Xu Huang. Just looking at his soldiers, you know that his target is definitely not Yuan Tan, but Beihai. Cao Gong is now determined to pacify the land of Xuzhou, how can he easily attack Yuan Tan and start a war with Yuan Shao? The adults want the fisherman to profit, but the general thinks that it is really impossible. ”
"Wen Jue, you are better at this kind of thing than me, tell me, how should I deal with it now?"
The reason why Pan Zhang was in Beihai, although Liu Bei was nominally sent to help Kong Rong defend against Yuan Tan, was actually a secret chess piece buried by Cao Cao's army in Beihai. When Gao Ye first discussed with him, Pan Zhang looked like he gladly accepted this task. After all, when I came to Beihai, I was not only able to get more experience, but most importantly, I finally had a chance to prove myself. As long as he does a good job in Beihai, he will inevitably be reused by Gao Ye and even Cao Cao after he goes back. In fact, now Pan Zhang has entered Cao Cao's eyes at the age of twenty-two, and he will soar in the future, which is unlimited.
Therefore, Pan Zhang immediately spoke: "Although I still have more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Beihai, and 50,000 stones of grain and grass, it is unknown whether I can block Gao Ye's attack. Besides, there is Yuan Tan waiting around, and the last general is only worried that this Beihai City will not be able to hold it. Now Xuzhou Lu Bu is ready to move again, but he is afraid that the big war is imminent, so he will ...... Adults should still make a decision early. ”
When Kong Rong heard this, he didn't know what Pan Zhang meant, and now even Pan Zhang felt that Beihai City was difficult to hold onto, and it was better to persuade himself to surrender, what good idea could he have to retreat from these two strong enemies? But if you really want to let yourself give up this Beihai City, I feel a little unbearable in my heart. What's more, these two families are not weak, even if they want to descend, they have to make a choice from the two of them. Kong Rong, who was in turmoil for a while, can he figure out the stakes? Therefore, he just opened his mouth and sighed: "I already know everything about Wen Jue's words. Let me think about it again, think about it again. ”
