Chapter 5 Impatience
Xun Da saw that Gao Ye said solemnly, he also sat up straight and listened carefully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info only listened to Gao Ye said: "Zitong, when you go back, you can send a messenger first, hurry up, and be sure to tell the lord that you must not let Liu Bei out of Yingdu." This person has always had great ambitions, and now under the command of the lord, he is like a bird in a cage and a fish in a net. But once he escapes from Yingdu, like a fish into the sea and a bird in the sky, it will be a big disaster in the future. Although he always claimed to be a member of the Han family in the past, there was no way to verify it. But now he is the imperial uncle appointed by His Majesty, the official general Zuo, and he is at the same level as me. Now the heart of the family is still to the Han, if Liu Bei leaves, with his reputation and official position today, he will inevitably be the cloud under his command, and when the time comes, he will be divided into one side and become the great enemy of our army. ”
When Xun Da heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, and when Gao Ye finished speaking, he still asked in disbelief: "Sir, can this Liu Bei really have such ability?" He was in Yingdu, although he was a general of Zuo, but he never performed his duties, and he either planted vegetables or hunted all day long. I see, he has long been fascinated by the luxurious life, even if he has great ambitions in the past, he has long been wiped clean by the soft red, what is the fear of the gentleman? ”
Gao Ye couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You, I don't want to think about it, how can a person who grows vegetables all day long and ploughs the countryside be confused by the luxury of Yingdu?" often shoots and hunts, which shows that he is still honing his martial arts skills and has never slackened. You just see him ignoring the situation and greedy for pleasure, have you ever thought about it, this is Taoguang's strategy to raise obscurity! Just so that you and others can relax their vigilance, and he can escape from Yingdu. ”
When Xun Da heard this, he immediately gasped and said, "If that's the case, it's a big deal!" When I left, the lord received news that Yuan Shu of Huainan intended to go north and vote for his brother Yuan Shao. At that time, Liu Bei asked for orders to share the worries of the lord, if the lord agreed, Liu Bei was afraid that he had already led the army to leave Yingdu. ”
Gao Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, who would have thought that the inertia of history would be so strong. Yuan Shao in history pacified Gongsun Zan at the beginning of the year, and Yuan Shu saw that he was weak and not Sun Ce's opponent, so he planned to take refuge in Yuan Shao. Later, there were all kinds of things about Liu Bei's escape and Guan Yu's slashing. But today's Yuan Shu is much stronger than the same period in history, mainly because Qiao Rui is not dead, and Lei Bo and Chen Lan have not rebelled because of Qiao Rui's relationship. The return of Yan Xiang and the survival of Yang Hong have restored the livelihood of Heqi a lot. Therefore, although Sun Ce has a strong military and Zhou Yu's help, he still has nothing to do with Yuan Shu.
Therefore, Gao Ye had to ask: "This Yuan Shu is quite stable in Hehuai, why did he suddenly want to go north to join Yuan Shao?" The two brothers have been at odds, what happened? ”
"Huh? Sir doesn't know yet? As soon as Gao Ye's words were asked, Xun Da was surprised, but he still spoke: "I heard that after Yuan Shu escaped to Hexi, he was still working hard, and he was on a par with Jiangdong. But later, he sprouted in a solid state, arrogant and lascivious, and expropriated violently. That Yan Xiang's bitter persuasion was fruitless many times, and more than a month ago, he was sent to the heavenly prison by the angry Yuan Shu, and for a while, the entire Jiujiang County was panicked. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu seized this opportunity, and in Liankefuling, Liyang, Quanjiao and other places, the general Liu Xun died on the battlefield, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse for a while, and I am afraid that it is because of this that Yuan Shu intends to go north. ”
Gao Ye nodded when he heard this, he had just come back, it was a celebration banquet, and he was going to visit Guan Ning and Wang Lie, and he hadn't looked through the important documents piled up on his desk for a while, so he didn't know about the war in Huainan. Now listening to Xun Da's narration, I know the details. Therefore, Gao Ye smiled awkwardly and said: "I see, I just came back, and I haven't had time to read the paperwork, so I don't know, so I let Zitong see and laugh." Speaking of this, Gao Ye instantly returned to a serious expression, and then said: "Since this is the case, this matter is even more urgent. If Yuan Shu wants to go north, he must go to Xuzhou, and there is no problem for Liu Bei to lead the army to block it. What I'm worried about now is that he, Liu Bei, will take the opportunity to attack Xuzhou and threaten the rear of our army. Besides, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Che Xuan is by no means Liu Bei's opponent......"
"Sir, even if the lord lets Liu Bei go on the expedition, all his soldiers and horses are my soldiers, and there will definitely be generals of our army around him, then Liu Bei just wants them to attack Xuzhou, and I don't think he can command it."
Hearing this, Gao Ye suddenly raised his head, glanced at Xun Da, and then shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, after all, that Liu Bei is the main general, if he kills Yuan Shu and lets his generals who contain him return to Yingdu, no matter who that person is, how can he not obey?" If he didn't obey him, Liu Bei would dare to kill him on the spot. When the time comes, he will give Xuzhou Che Guan'an another charge of treason, and attack Xuzhou under the pretense of the lord's order. As long as you take a car, even if the whole army later knows that this is Liu Bei's trick, but everyone is a thief when they attack Xuzhou, and when the time comes, all the sergeants are afraid of military law, so they just wait to follow Liu Bei. In this way, with just one car, can Xuzhou be safe? ”
In fact, what Gao Ye said is basically all the plans of how Liu Bei took Xuzhou City in history. And it is reasonable and operational, and even Xun Da is full of sadness for a while. Now Yuan Shao has already had signs of being overwhelmed by large soldiers, and once Xuzhou is taken by Liu Bei, it will inevitably be a situation where the enemy will be attacked at that time. Gao Ye was also worried about this. After all, although Liu Bei took Xuzhou in history, Yuan Shao's preparations in all aspects had not yet begun at that time, so Cao Cao could defeat Liu Bei with lightning speed, and then turn back to fight with Yuan Shao. But this time, seeing that the battle with Yuan Shaojun is imminent, if Liu Bei is allowed to take Xuzhou, I am afraid that a war on both sides is really inevitable.
But fortunately, there is no news of Liu Bei and Yuan Shu fighting yet, after all, Liu Bei had just asked for his life when Xun Da left, according to common sense, he should have just set off now, and he had only been gone for five days at most. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the waiter who was waiting on the side to bring pen and ink up, and Gao Ye immediately wrote a handwritten letter, and said to Xun Da while writing: "The current situation is not too bad, I will write a handwritten letter, and send it to the lord immediately, maybe it can be remedied." Although Liu Bei is in charge of the army, his subordinates are all soldiers of our army, as long as the eldest prince appears in the camp, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to command it. However, the eldest prince must be escorted by fierce generals, otherwise he will be killed by Guan and Zhang, and it will be difficult for this army to turn back......"
Gao Ye wrote a letter while telling Xun Da his own opinions. In the final analysis, Gao Shun's military training over the years has still been effective, especially the big killer weapon such as political education, which makes the army very loyal to Cao Cao. And Cao Cao not only never owed them military salaries, but also let their children go to school for free, even if they died in battle, there are elderly people in the family, the government supports them until the end, and the government subsidizes the children at home until they become adults, not to mention that there is a lot of pension, Cao's soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they are not afraid of death. It was only at this time that Cao Cao finally admitted that commerce was also a militaristic weapon. If there was no Mi Zhu, a businessman, Cao Shi to help him make money, the pension alone would have made him bankrupt.
However, in the time of a stick of incense, Gao Ye finished writing the letter, and then ordered Pei Yuanshao to enter, and after explaining a few words, he asked him to set off immediately and personally send the letter to Cao Cao. Gao Ye continued to pull Xun Da to question. After Xun Da had dealt with all the rewards of the people, he took the official documents given to Cao Cao by Gao Ye and the thank you sheet from the Qingzhou officials, and hurriedly went to Yingdu.
Pei Yuanshao, on the other side, has been stepping up every day since listening to Gao Ye's words. Xun Da came to Beihai from Yingdu, and he also rode a horse, and it took fifteen days to arrive. But now Pei Yuanshao galloped back, and it only took nine days to rush to Sikong Mansion. Even Cao Cao was surprised when he saw Pei Yuanshao. Especially when he listened to what Pei Yuanshao said, this letter was a high night to make himself hurry up and must be delivered as soon as possible, and his face was quite dignified, and he took the letter in Pei Yuanshao's hand.
Cao Cao read the letter, his face was even more gloomy, and then asked Pei Yuanshao to rest first, and he himself immediately gathered a group of his strategists to come to Sikong Mansion for a meeting.
As soon as everyone entered the door, they saw Cao Cao's gloomy face, and they were all shocked. As long as Cao Cao showed this expression, something big must have happened. Sure enough, as soon as the people arrived, Cao Cao spoke: "Ming Xi is far away in Qingzhou, I heard Zitong say that I asked Liu Bei to crusade against Yuan Shu, and immediately ordered my cronies to send this urgent report, everyone should take a look." As he spoke, he handed Gao Ye's letter to Xun Yu beside him.
After Guo Jia finished opening and handed it to Xun Yu beside him, he said: "Lord, General Xu Chu, who was sent to chase Liu Bei back the day before yesterday, now has news?" ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this: "Zhong Kang returned last night to report, Liu Bei said, 'I will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted', so Liu Bei has not come back with Zhong Kang." ”
Cheng Yu, who hadn't read the letter yet, suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "This Liu Bei really has a heart of disobedience." The lord also asked him to send someone to rob and kill Liu Bei. Otherwise, once this person sneaks into Xuzhou, I'm afraid that I will be attacked by the enemy when the time comes! ”
Xun Yu smiled on the side: "Zhongde doesn't have to be anxious, you can read Mingxi's letter before you talk about it." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Cao Cao and said, "Lord, I see that Mingxi is very good." As long as the eldest prince arrives in the army, this matter will inevitably be solved. ”
"Well, I think so. It's just that Ming Xi also said that Guan Daniel Zhang is fierce, and Zi Xiu must have a fierce general to follow. But now in Yingdu, there are only two people left in the martial arts who can compete with Guan Zhang, Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Zixiu is still young, and after taking charge of the army, he has to fight with Yuan Shu, although Dian Wei and Xu Chu are brave in battle, but the use of soldiers is not a strong point. I'm afraid that Zixiu won't be able to beat Yuan Shu in this battle. ”
Guo Jia said with a smile on the side: "Why don't you send the son and the general and the tiger and leopard to ride with the eldest prince, first, to ensure the safety of the eldest prince, and secondly, the son and the general's soldiers are also quite disciplined." With him assisting the eldest prince, there is no problem in defeating Yuan Shu. If the lord is still worried, he can let Chen Yuanlong lead his troops to help. ”
Cao Cao nodded and said, "What Feng Xiao said is very true, but Yuanlong is on guard against Jiangdong and cannot be left lightly." With a son and a follower, I am relieved. ”
