Chapter 458: Chaos (2)
The weather in midsummer can change as much as it says. //.М/
Originally, the sun was still shining, but in the blink of an eye, it became a pouring rain.
Cao Cao's mood also became extremely bad. The situation has become too fast, so fast that Cao Cao and his staff are a little unable to respond
Liu Biao suffered a major defeat in February, losing the life of his son Liu Pan, not to mention, the public security water village was attacked by Dong and Deng Dang, and Cai Mao's Jingzhou sailor was defeated. As a last resort, the Jingzhou Navy Division withdrew from Wuling, and the waters around Yunmengze were already controlled by Ganning's Jinfan Battalion.
That's bad news!
But then there was good news......
Liu retreated to Nanzhong, borrowed 80,000 barbarian troops from Meng Dan, the king of the Southern Barbarians, in Jianning, and launched a counterattack on Xichuan!
However, Pang Tong had already taken precautions and blocked the attack of the Southern Barbarian Army. At the end of March, Jia Long, the former deputy governor of the Wunan Army, suddenly died of illness.
Chengdu suddenly has no leader.
Fortunately, when Pang Tong occupied Xichuan, Dong had already transferred Xu Rong from the Western Regions to Xichuan. However, Dong did not set up a state pastor, but ordered Xu Rong to be the military governor of Xichuan and raise all the military affairs in Yizhou. The political affairs of Chengdu were temporarily taken care of by the Hanzhong Taishou Yanpu.
At least for a while, I'm afraid that Xichuan's Wuqiao army will not be able to get out of Sichuan!
But the good times didn't last long. Before Liu Biao could take a breath, Changsha Taishou Pan announced his surrender to Guanzhong under the persuasion of Huanjie. Immediately afterwards, Shanyue attacked Guiyang, and Taishou Liu Du was killed by Shanyue leader Xi Ni...... But Xi Ni's Shanyue army. was annexed by Zhang Ren.
After stabilizing Wuling, the Wuxi barbarian army pointed directly at Lingling......
Lingling Taishou surrendered to Langkaicheng, and Zhang Renbing occupied Lingling without blood. When Liu Biao heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.
Xiang Lang's younger brother Xiang Jia's family was put in prison. If Kuai Yue hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid Liu Biao would have killed someone on the spot!
The four counties of Jingnan were all lost in the middle of October......
And then there was good news. Jiangdong Sun Ce actually gave up his previous suspicions and ordered Zhou Yu to be the governor of the navy and send troops to Jingzhou. Assist Liu Biao. 30,000 sailors, after entering Jingzhou. After losing three battles in a row, Gan Ning had to gather people. Retreat to Yunmengze.
Change is so fast!
Cao Cao was still sighing, but Dong made a Lumen Pavilion in Chang'an, which made all the scholars in the world praise Dong.
Preparations are underway to mitigate the impact of this incident on Xuchang...... Pang Tong defeated Liu and Meng Dan's soldiers and horses in Nanzhong, the young general Luo Meng Zhang Yi, captured Liu's Lai Min Qin Mi, the general Yan Yan beheaded the two generals of Deng Xian, Liu and Wu Yi, and went out of the city bareback to surrender.
Could it be that the Wuxuan Army is going to kill Xichuan?
It's in Liu Biao. When Sun Ce, Cao Cao and others were worried, Pang Tong made a decision that no one could understand.
Gan Benbai Pang Tong was the military advisor, Yan Yan was the deputy governor, and Luo Meng Zhang Yi was the pioneer of the young general, and he forcibly crossed the Lushui River in early May. Soldiers sent to the south.
There is no difficulty in the army, and they actually ran to fight the Southern Barbarian King Meng Dan!
Cao Cao is really confused......
"Ladies and gentlemen, can anyone tell me why the Wuling army didn't support Wuling and raid Jingxiang. Run to Jianning. And for what purpose? ”
Lu Su didn't speak, and Xun You frowned.
The rest of the people also had sad faces. You look at me, I look at you, no one can figure out which one this is sung.
"Get the map!"
Lu Su and Xun You spoke almost at the same time, and the two looked at each other and smiled slightly.
His own guards presented the map, unfolded it and hung it on the wall, Lu Su and Xun You squinted their eyes in attention, and Cao Cao also stepped forward.
In the shogunate, there was silence.
After a moment, Cao Cao suddenly let out a long sigh, "I understand...... That contemptible man, this plan is really vicious! ”
Lu Su and Xun Yu also seem to have seen the clues.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "One step first, one step first!" Dong Xiping's hand is dangerous enough, but it is ruthless enough. The person who planned for Dong was a last resort. If they succeed, they are afraid that Sun Bofudi's backyard will be in peace. ”
"What do you mean?"
Xun walked over quickly, looked at the map, and was a little puzzled.
"Wen Ruo, if I guess correctly, Dong is going to open a road in Jianning, and then go straight to Jiaozhi and capture Jiaozhou." "Cochin? Jiaozhou? ”
Xun looked at the map suspiciously, "If you want to go from Jianning to Jiaozhi, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Not to mention anything else, only this heavy supply, how to ensure it? Without this heavy supplement, even if Dong hits a path, I'm afraid he won't be able to gain a foothold in Jiaozhi. What's more, even if he captured Jianning and won the battle with Nanban, his troops were consumed a lot. Attacking Jiaozhi with tired soldiers is simply whimsical. ”
Lu Su said in a deep voice: "But what will happen if they subdue the Nanban? ”
"Huh?"
"Drove the Nanban to supply Jiaozhi, Zhang Ren captured Xi Ni again, and Shamoke, the king of the Nanban, was there, which was enough to contain the Cangwu defenders and even the Yulin defenders. At that time, as long as the Nanban is willing to provide Buji and troops, a strange army can go straight to Jiaozhi along the Red River. ”
When Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
When it comes to military affairs, he is not good at it. But that doesn't mean he doesn't know. Otherwise, when Bian Zhao, the son of Jean, rebelled in Yanzhou, it would be impossible for him to hold Puyang with a weak force. What Lu Su said is indeed possible. But it's very slim. Let's not talk about how long it will take to pacify Nanban, but just this idea, I'm afraid any normal person will not come up with it easily.
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "The contemptible man is not an ordinary person, and those subordinates in his land are also like him, all whimsical and ......arrogant."
said so, but Xun could hear that Cao Cao was afraid in his heart. "Prime Minister, Prime Minister......"
"Ah, I'm fine, I'm fine!"
Cao Cao came to his senses. After pondering for a while, he said: "Immediately order someone to go to Jiangdong and tell Sun Ce, please be careful about his safety." ”
It seems that Cao Cao is afraid that he believes that Dong can do it.
"Who is it, who is planning for the scumbag?"
Xun You said: "Prime Minister, I sent someone to investigate in Guanzhong for several months, but there was no result. However, I do have some ideas now. ”
"Oh?"
"This person must be someone whom Dong trusts very much. And the time to follow Dong will not be short...... I've heard. Dong regarded Pang Tong as a brother, but he could actually rely on that person's words. Let Pang Tong go deep into the barren land? There are only a few people who have counted Dong's early land strategists. Huang Shao is unknown and has long passed away. Then the person who has followed Dong the longest is that Jia Xu. ”
"Jia Xu?"
It's almost a very unfamiliar name. Even Cao Cao had almost forgotten the existence of this person, and many of the strategists who had just joined the shogunate had never heard of it.
Xun said: "But in the second year of Jian'an, the rebellion in Chang'an ...... presided over the overall situation, and forcibly imprisoned Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, the king of the Western Han Dynasty? He was not detained by Dong after that incident, and has been appearing ever since. Isn't he dead yet? ”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "Wen Ruo is really an honest gentleman." ”
Lu Su is not very familiar with the name Jia Xu. He rubbed his fingers for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Who is this Jia Xu?" ”
Cao Cao, Xun You and others smiled bitterly again.
"Zi Jing this question. Indeed, it is a good question. We don't know much about this Jia Xu...... I only heard that he was a strategist who Dong had subdued before he entered Luoyang. Since then, there has been no trace, in the first year of Chuping, when the first Kwantung princes' alliance against Dong Zhuo. Jia Xu appeared next to Dong for the first time. Then. Dong is in Xingyang, and I have a hard fight. ”
Of course, Cao Cao will not say: Dong beat me to the point of losing my armor. Prancing Horse Fleeing for His Life...... Even that horse is a gift from Dong.
"Oh, when the prime minister said this, I also have an impression! Later, when Venda surrendered, he mentioned this person. said that Dong treats Na Jia Xu, if the teacher is general, he obeys his words. And Li Tong still admired Jia Xu very much, but after Xingyang, he disappeared again. ”
Cao Cao nodded, "That's right! After the Battle of Xingyang, Jia Xu did not appear. Now it seems that he should have been arranged by Dong in the Western Regions. Back then, Dong took precautions and laid the foundation in the Western Regions. He can hand over the family business to Jia Xu to take charge of, but it can be seen that he has great trust in Jia Xu. Later, when Dong entered the Western Regions, we heard a lot about the names of Li Ru, Lu Zhi and others, and Jia Xu disappeared again.
The husband entered the customs and was reckless outside the Saiwai, causing turmoil in Chang'an. At that time, no one expected that Dong actually did not hand over the power to his sworn brother Dian Wei, but let Jia Xu preside over the overall situation. After the Chang'an Rebellion subsided, Jia Xu was sent to Duyoubao by Dong for offending the king of the Western Han Dynasty. After that, Jia Xu never appeared again. ”
Xun You smiled helplessly, and said softly: "The problem is that Jia Xu has almost never officially appeared in our field of vision. knew his name at that time, only because he had been a man in Luoyang, and no one paid too much attention to Jia Xu. Moreover, Jia Xu lives in a simple place, and we don't know anything about this guy at all, which is the biggest trouble. ”
"You mean ......"
Yi Yuan and the others were halfway through their mouths, but suddenly they stopped talking.
Jia Xu's detention by Dong is just an illusion. If it is really this Jia Xu who is planning for Dong, it means that Jia Xu was already planning today's situation when Guanzhong was not stable at the beginning. Since the second year of Jian'an, he has been hiding behind the scenes.
Started to have a headache, a headache!
Lu Su is a high-minded and arrogant person, but he can only sigh to himself for Jia Xu's plan.
And now I want to go to Jia Xu again and study Jia Xu...... Apparently it's too late. Xun You pondered for a moment, and whispered in Cao Cao's ear: "Lord, looking at the current situation, do you want the second son and them to come back?" Maybe you've already revealed your identity. ”
"No way!"
Cao Cao categorically vetoed.
In the first year of Taiping, Cao Cao and his staff devised a plan.
The three schools of Chang'an arose, and it is said that the things taught were very practical. Cao Cao wanted to send someone to listen to the reality of the three studies, on the one hand, he could figure out Dong's intentions, and on the other hand, he could also take the opportunity to steal some lessons from the three studies. In any case, Dong was always one step ahead of Cao Cao, which made him very distressed. And the education of the three schools is undoubtedly the way for him to steal from Dong.
Cao Cao's second son Cao Pi, Xiahou Yuan's second son Xiahou Ba, and Xun You's second son Xun Shi, the three of them smuggled into Chang'an together.
Cao Cao also wanted his son to come back safely.
However, if there is a person like Jia Xu around Dong who is planning, who can say what the internal situation will be?
Perhaps, Cao Pi and others have been discovered a long time ago!
It's just that they didn't make any moves, and Dong didn't make a move. In this situation, as long as Cao Pi and them take action, Dong will definitely do it. Maybe staying in Chang'an honestly would be better for them. Cao Cao frowned and kept patting his forehead.
"What is the situation in Runan?"
"It's still a stalemate...... In addition, according to the detailed report, at the end of April, Lu Bu's family had entered Jingzhao from Xuanyuan Pass, and now they are afraid that they are about to arrive in Chang'an. Lu Bu's whereabouts were difficult to capture, and after several attacks in Nanyang, Liu Biao suffered heavy losses. Although Liu Biao has accepted our explanation, he is currently lying on the bed, and I am afraid that he will ...... Moreover, Liu Biao had no way to control Liu Bei at all. ”
Cao Cao gritted his teeth, "Since that's the case, then let Liu Bei look good!" ”
As he spoke, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, Cao Peng broke into the hall with a bloodied young general.
"Prime Minister, it's not good!"
"What's the alarm?"
The little colonel knelt down in the hall and said in a sad voice: "Prime Minister, my father Li Tong ...... Killed! ”
"What?"
Cao Cao got up suddenly, his eyes wide. This small school is Li Tong's eldest son, named Li Xu. Since the Battle of Luoyang, Li Tong has been stationed in Baima, Liyang (northeast of present-day Jun County, Henan).
Li Xu cried: "Prime Minister, my father is stationed in Baima, and Yuan Shao takes the general Wei Yuanjin as the vanguard and attacks Baima...... Liyang (present-day Jun County, Henan) was too guarded by Liu Yan and refused to reinforce him. After my father held for three days, Liu Yanxian Liyang surrendered, my father was killed by Wei Yuanjin, and the white horse was lost...... Before the White Horse Castle was broken, my father ordered me to force my way out...... When I broke through, my brother was also killed in battle, please make the decision for me! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he struck a chilling cicada, and after screaming, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
