Chapter Fifty-Eight
In the past few days, Han Fu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, first Lu Yi rebelled, he led the army to attack but was defeated, and then the Black Mountain thieves in Jizhou were in chaos, and riots were in turmoil all over the country.
The most terrible thing is that Liu Dai of Yanzhou also threatened to attack him! The relationship between Liu Dai and Han Fu has not been very good, in order to force Han Fu to provide food and grass for the Dong coalition army, he once wrote a letter threatening to jointly attack Han Fu after the Dong Dynasty, so Han Fu was so frightened that he immediately raised troops and broke with Dong Zhuo.
So Han Fu is really panicking now, and he feels that he is suddenly the enemy of the whole world.
Feng Ji had a hint of banter in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Now I only need a person who can speak well, and I will teach him to give up Jizhou if he has a stake in Hanwen Jiexiao!" ”
Yuan Shao was also complacent, contacting the Black Mountain thieves and befriending Liu Dai was his plan, and he stroked his beard and said, "Well, who can go?" ”
Xun Chen stepped forward and said sincerely: "I am willing to serve Yuan Gong!" ”
Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Youruo, you ......"
Xu You looked at Xun Chen and said first: "Then please leave it to Youruo." ”
Xun Chen's face was solemn: "I will not disgrace my mission!" ”
After Xun Chen left, Yuan Shao was a little displeased: "Ziyuan, how can you rest assured that Xun Youruo will go, in case he and his brother Xun Wenruo collude, what should I do?" ”
Xu You lowered his head and said with a smile: "If this Xun You is ingenious, he is a rare talent, how can the lord always be on guard?" Let Yan Liang follow him, if it can be done, everything will be fine, and the lord can also get a master, if you really want to do something...... Hmph, let Yan Liang kill him! ”
……
Of course, Han Fu is not the only one who is anxious at this time, for example, Liu Biao in Xiangyang is more restless than Han Fu.
For no other reason, he was besieged by Sun Jian in Xiangyang City.
Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of troops were dispatched, and the momentum was so huge, Liu Biao naturally got the news a long time ago. And he didn't dare to slack off, and ordered Huang Zu to guard Fancheng and Deng County. Attempted to snipe Yuan Shu.
But who knew that Sun Jian actually hung up and unceremoniously defeated Huang Zujun! Now Yuan Shu's army has crossed the Han River and is approaching the city of Xiangyang!
Liu Biao looked at Yuan Jun who surrounded Xiangyang in the city tower, and jumped to his feet in a hurry: "No one can stop this Sun Wentai?" ”
Huang Zu's head was a little white, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, the lord still has a lot of troops south of Xiangyang City, and his subordinates are willing to go out of the city overnight and lead troops to relieve the siege of the lord!" ”
Liu Biao took a deep breath and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, General Huang, I'll leave everything to you!" ”
"No!"
That night, Huang Zu led dozens of guards to break out of the encirclement, went to the south to lead troops and returned, and fought with Sun Jian.
"This Huang Zu has some guts." Sun Jian smiled, the yellow clouds rose, and roared, "Beat the drum, kill with me!" ”
The war drums roared, the soldiers roared, Sun Jian took the lead, and Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui followed closely behind.
Huang Zu led a rabble that was originally improvised patchwork, how could they resist Sun Jian's offensive? Soon Huang Zujun was defeated and fled in panic.
Sun Jian led a light cavalry in pursuit and chased all the way to Da Hyeon.
Sun Jian watched from afar as Huang Zu and the others rushed into the bamboo forest in front of him, and couldn't help sneering: "Do you think it's useful to hide here?" ”
He was about to go in, but his ears suddenly remembered the words that Yang Xiu had sent someone to convey before.
"If the enemy is in the forest, he will retreat, so as to prevent hidden arrows from hurting people."
For some reason, that sentence kept echoing in Sun Jian's ears at this moment.
Sun Jian's eyes narrowed, and he ordered a team to go in first to investigate. Not long after, with the sound of arrows breaking through the air and screaming, it was obvious that he had been ambushed.
"General, Lin Jian has a large number of archers in ambush!"
Only one of the dozen or so men ran out, gritting his teeth and pulling out the arrow from his arm, which glowed with a red glow.
"Shoushan Copper!" Sun Jian's pupils shrank, and then he was furious, Huang Zu actually wanted to trap him! Joy and shame rose in his heart at the same time, and he shouted, "Set fire!" ”
……
Inside the city of Xiangyang.
Pang Tong sighed: "This Xiangyang is really stormy now, I'm afraid this Liu Jingsheng won't be able to defend it for long......"
Zhuge Liang put down the book in his hand, and his eyes showed maturity and wisdom: "The husband of Xiangyang is also the waist of the world." The Central Plains can be merged with the southeast. The southeast can also be mapped to the northwest. If Xiangyang is lost, Liu Jingzhou may not be able to become a big weapon. ”
Pang Tong shook his head and said: "Liu Jingsheng is just bringing about his own destruction, and it is not risk-free if he wants to watch from the wall." If Huang Zu doesn't succeed, I'm afraid he will have to give up Xiangyang, and whether to retreat to Jiangling, or cross the Han River and the Yangtze River to Jiangxia in the west, it depends on how Liu Jingsheng chooses. By the way, what would you do? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Look at what my uncle means, if my uncle flees with Liu Jingzhou, then I will also leave Xiangyang." At that time, I will hand over these books to Sister Pang for me. ”
Pang Tong was anxious: "There is no future to follow Liu Jingsheng, it's better to stay in Xiangyang, don't you also want to support the Son of Heaven in Chuping, then Chu Zizhang happens to be kind to you again, why follow Liu Jingsheng?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "It's not for me to call the shots, Liu Jingzhou is my uncle's old master after all...... And Kuai Xenodu (Kuai Yue) is also resourceful, Liu Jingzhou may not be defeated. ”
Pang Tong's eyes blinked: "In the final analysis, after all, Sun Jian is the assassin of Yuzhou, and now that he has openly crossed the border, Qingzhou may not have opinions, and Sun Wentai may still have scruples." And Qingzhou may not be willing to see Yuan Highway and his family dominate. ”
……
Chu Yishu smiled and shook his head: "Jizhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Sili, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou, my Han is really a mess." ”
Liu Xie sighed: "This Sun Wentai is really bold, he actually dares to cross the border without permission." Outside of Qingzhou, are there no people who are completely loyal to me? ”
Chu Yi said with a smile: "Sun Jian is brave and resolute, and he is loyal and strong. Naturally, they are loyal to His Majesty, but now the road is cut off and they can't be connected to Qingzhou. ”
Liu Xie smiled slightly bitterly: "Chu Qing don't comfort me, I heard that Jizhou has become Yuan Benchu, when will we be able to send troops?" ”
Chu Yi thought for a while: "The wheat is ripe in April, the grain is harvested in May, and the troops can be dispatched in June and July." The corn is ripe in August, and logistical supplies should not be a problem. Save a little and it's enough to support next year. ”
Liu Xie finally felt a little comforted in his heart when he heard this: "This is very good, let the tiger or Wuyi also go out with it this time." ”
Chu Yi said: "Then let's let the Tiger Ben Battalion go on the expedition, the unclothed army has not been trained yet." ”
"It's okay......" Liu Xie nodded, "I don't know who can command the three armies?" How is Zhu Gongwei? ”
Zhu Jun is a veteran of a hundred battles, and it is most secure for him to be in charge.
"General Che Cai is indeed a suitable candidate, but the minister suggested that we should discuss it with Xun Wenruo, Liu Xuande and others."
Zhu Jun is not small after all, not to mention, if Qingzhou comes out, then Liu Dai of Yanzhou may not have any ideas...... Chu Yi was more inclined to the younger generation of Guan Yu to take command of the expedition.
