Chapter 417 Peace Negotiation
Whether Liu Bei is willing to admit it or not, the facts cannot be changed!
In his heart, in addition to the unforgettable hatred for Dong, he also buried deep fear. \。 M// Drunken Dew Academy
In his life, he was ruined in the hands of Dong.
But it is undeniable that every time he lost to Dong, Dong did not use tricks, but fought hard, defeated him hard, and defeated him...... Although he didn't say anything on his mouth, he was really scared in his heart.
The 30,000-strong army was defeated in the night, and the army retreated twenty miles before it was stabilized.
Liu Bei panicked, holding the horse's reins tightly, still trembling slightly, and his heart was even more popping.
"Shaoxian, can the Dong thief catch up?"
Liu Bei himself didn't notice it, and his voice trembled a little.
Gao Chong reined in the horse and gasped slightly, "Lord, Dong Thief didn't catch up, let's stabilize it first." ”
"That's right!"
Liu Bei panicked, nodded and agreed.
There are pro-army troops who have raised points to collect the remnants of the defeated generals, but this count, but helplessly found that there are two or three thousand people missing.
Before a real fight with a real sword, he lost his soldiers first, and lost one of the ten pavilions.
Liu Bei's heart became even more bottomless. However, after setting up the camp, Liu Bei gradually came back to his senses.
This doesn't seem to be Dong's style!
Since the First World War in Anxi County, Liu Bei has been paying attention to Dong's movements, and it can be said that he knows Dong's style very well. According to the law of the past, if Dong Ruo has the upper hand, he will never be merciful, and he will definitely chase and fight. From this point of view, Dong can be called ruthless, even if he is an acquaintance, he will never be merciful.
It's like forcing Cao Cao to leap into the water back then. Once you turn your face, you will never show mercy.
It stands to reason that he should be able to lead his troops to chase and kill, how to let his own men and horses escape. The reason for not coming to pursue?
Liu Bei immediately sent a scout horse to investigate. At this time, Gao Pet also walked into the camp.
"Shaoxian, what's the situation?"
Gao Pet smiled bitterly: "It's not very good." The mood of the soldiers was very low, and they seemed to be reluctant to be enemies of Dong Thief. ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh!
It's no wonder that the people below have this kind of mind...... The Violent Tiger of the Western Regions, the name of the general of the tiger and wolf, is famous all over the world. On his own, this guy has also made a name for himself, and he is by no means touted out of thin air. Just look at today, how can ordinary people compare with him for the courage of the Yanshi City alone against ten thousand horsemen?
"Shao Xian ......"
"Lord!"
Liu Bei didn't know if he should say the doubts in his heart. He hesitated. He said softly: "I'm afraid that we will ...... today Fooled! ”
"Fooled?"
"Bei and Dong Xiping, I still know each other very well. This man is ruthless. If you have the upper hand, you will never let us go easily. I suspect that in Yanshi City today, I am afraid that there are no generals, and Dong Xiping is bluffing. Drunken Dew Academy"
Bravado?
Gao Chong was stunned at first. He gasped.
If that's the case. Far from underestimating Dong, he treated Dong on the contrary. I'm afraid I want to be more respectful.
"Does the lord mean that the Yanshi has no soldiers?"
"That's how it should be!" Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "I have already sent someone to Yanshi to inquire about the news, and there will be a return soon." ”
Gao Zhong couldn't help but say: "If this is the case, Dong Xiping should be a famous general!" ”
As soon as the words came out, I suddenly felt that something was not quite right. No matter how good Dong is, he is also the enemy of his own lord and public land after all.
"Ah, lord, pet ......"
Liu Bei laughed, "Shao Xian doesn't have to care. I have not fought with someone Dong, although there are not many times, but that time is not disgraced? If it weren't for the creation of people, Beishi would not want to be the enemy of Dong Xiping. I hate him, but I also respect him. Good is good, bad is bad, if I don't even have the courage to admit the facts, how can I confront him again? ”
Just this sentence sounds a little weak, but it shows a kind of heroism.
Gao Zhong couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, although the lord is not as good as Dong Xiping, but this bearing is enough to make people heartbreaking!
When the time passed, Tanma reported the news, which further allowed Liu Bei to confirm his judgment.
Gao Zhong said: "Lord, I am willing to lead the troops to kill Yanshi immediately, I don't believe it, then Dong Xiping can really defeat more than 10,000 people?" ”
Liu Bei glanced at Gao Pet, but he loved this young general from the bottom of his heart.
He said in a deep voice: "Shaoxian, with your martial arts, you can be included in the top three under my account, but do you know, why don't I let you lead the troops alone?" On the contrary, Guan Ning Guan Ping, Yan Baihu and Zhang Yan are not as good as you, but they can lead a team of people alone? ”
Gao Chong was stunned and shook his head slightly.
"In terms of martial arts, they are not as good as you. However, Yan Baihu and Zhang Baiqi are the like, but they can judge the situation and lead the soldiers and horses, in this regard, you are not as good as them...... Shao Xian wanted to return to the army to attack Yanshi, but he didn't know this time and that time. If we first came to Yanshi City in the evening, Dong Xiping would definitely not be able to resist our attack, but now ......"
Gao Chong was stunned, looked at Liu Bei, and waited for him to continue.
"You also said that the soldiers have lost their morale, and they are tired from running back and forth. Even if Dong Xiping only has more than a thousand elites in his hands, it is enough to kill our army to pieces. Therefore, it is definitely not a good time to return to the army to attack now. ”
"That'...... Let's rest for the night and attack tomorrow? ”
Liu Bei groaned for a moment and shook his head again, "A night's rest is indeed a way to stabilize the army's heart." But the question is, Dong Xiping is now in a high position, how can he take risks lightly? If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that his army is rushing to Yanshi. ”
"Huh?"
"When the time comes, if we fail to capture the Yanshi, we will have to face the embarrassment of being attacked on the back, which will be even more dangerous."
Although Gao Pet's eyes are real, he is not a fool. Drunken Dew Academy
Listening to Liu Bei say so much, can you still understand what Liu Bei means?
The lord is planning to retire......
"What do you mean, lord?"
"Immediately send a scout horse out to find the traces of the main force of the Dong thief. Then we will make other plans according to the situation. ”
"Whoa!"
Gao Zhong nodded, already knowing what Liu Bei meant.
Night. He strengthened the defense of the large camp, and at the same time secretly ordered his cronies to be prepared to retreat immediately if the situation was not good.
In Yin. News came from Tanma.
There are signs of mobilization of soldiers and horses in the three passes. At the same time, Dong's main force has been killed from Yique Pass. Supervised by Dian Wei, rushed to Yanshi. It is expected that by noon at the latest, they will arrive at the foot of Yanshi City. In other words, Liu Bei only has three hours left!
At this time, Liu Bei showed his true colors.
Immediately made the decision of a strong man to break his wrist, gave up most of the men and horses, and quietly left the camp with only five hundred relatives.
30,000 horses, to put it bluntly, is not Liu Bei's descendant. It's not a pity to give it up.
Liu Bei Gaopet took five hundred elite soldiers, one person and two horses. Bypassed Yanshi overnight, but did not go in the direction of Xingyang.
Gao Zhong asked: "Lord, aren't we going to Xingyang?" ”
Liu Bei sneered: "What are you going to Xingyang?" The coalition forces have existed in name only, Liu Biao is not aligned, and Yuan Shao fights Qingzhou. Cao Cao is now too busy to take care of himself. Youzhou Gongsun Du lost Lu Longsai. It is equivalent to being opened by Dong thieves and soldiers and horses to open the door of Youzhou. I'm afraid that it won't take too long, and Youzhou will have to change owners. And we. I have to rush back to Xuzhou and make another plan. ”
Gongsun is finished......
Then there will be no coalition forces that involve Yuan Shao's hind legs.
At this time, Yuan Shao definitely did not dare to confront Dong, so all his energy would be focused on Qingzhou.
Liu Bei said well, the coalition army ...... It's over!
Lost 30,000 soldiers and horses in the main general's land, and was attacked by the Dian Wei army at the time of Mao, and the whole army was scattered.
And after receiving the support of the main force, the defense of the Yanshi suddenly became extremely thick. At the same time, Xiahou, the main general of the Tiger Prison, immediately felt contempt because he heard that the Pinggao guard had changed people, Zhang left, and was guarded by a big child. Moreover, after Pang Tong took over Pinggao, he contributed to Xiahou's arrogance to a certain extent.
Hearing that the situation in Luoyang was not good, Xia Hou couldn't help but have the idea of attacking Pinggao.
Although he was dissuaded by his advisers, Xiahou refused to listen to the persuasion and insisted on sending troops, and was ambushed in Pinggao.
Not only did he lose his troops, but he also led the troops to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, which was also transferred from the small martial arts camp by Pang Tong.
Xiahou returned in a disastrous defeat, found that the Tiger Prison Pass had changed hands, led the remnants of the army to defeat the generals overnight, and fled to Xingyang.
Dong captured the Yan Division, and the Hanoi army and the Yan Division army were united, completely blocking the retreat of the soldiers and horses in Luoyang.
After Zhou Yu heard the news, he couldn't help but scolded angrily: "One ear thief misunderstands me, and one ear thief ...... Mistake me! ”
After that, he vomited blood and passed out in a coma.
At this time, it is the time when the winter season is about to go and Meng Chun is coming......
200,000 allied troops were trapped in Luoyang, facing hunger and cold, and the whole army was in danger of being annihilated.
"Lost in Tiger Prison?"
Surnamed Yang Chengnei, Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan, who was covered in blood, in shock, his eyes widened and he couldn't speak.
"Tiger Prison, how can it be lost?"
Cao Cao said angrily: "Yuan Rang, didn't I order you a long time ago not to send troops without authorization...... I'm worried that you can't bear it, and I have sent someone to entrust you again and again, why is the tiger prison still lost? ”
"I ......"
Xia Hou didn't know how to answer, and he was speechless for a long time.
Looking at this situation, Cao Cao couldn't guess the reason inside, shook his sleeves and got up, and said angrily: "Come on, drag Xiahou out and behead him!" ”
Lu Su and others hurriedly came forward to intercede.
There was even Xu Chu Cao Peng who spoke for Xiahou, and Cao Cao took back the order and beat Xiahou with twenty military sticks.
Of course, Cao Cao was reluctant to kill Xiahou.
"Princes, the Yanshi has been captured, the guards of the three passes will rebel, and the Tiger Prison Pass has fallen...... Is there room for redemption in the battle situation in Luoyang? Cao Cao stabilized his mind and tried to calm his tone as much as possible.
But anyone can hear that his heart is not calm at the moment.
Lu Su said: "Yuan Shaodong joined forces and attacked me head to end. Now that the master is lost, the lord should be a trade-off. ”
"Trade-offs? Zijing may wish to say it clearly. ”
Lu Su ordered people to get a map, which depicted the terrain of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou and Jingzhao.
"Since Dong has captured Luoyang, I'm afraid it has reached the limit...... The Battle of Luoyang. It was a battle in which he saved face for the Han Emperor, so he fought to this point, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything again. And Yuan Shao lost most of the state, and his hometown Jizhou was already under the mouth of Dongdi. It is inevitable that there will be a desperate search for space. In-depth development. ”
Cao Cao and the others nodded slightly.
"If you want to continue. It is necessary to abandon one side and connect the other. ”
In fact, when Lu Su said the way to make a trade-off, Cao Cao and the others had already guessed what he meant next.
It's just that no one can say these words
Choice...... To put it bluntly, it is to bow to one side, to whom?
Full of favor said: "Zijing, in your opinion, who should we take." Who will give it up? ”
This sentence is really hard to say. Lu Su took a deep breath. plucked up the courage and said: "Su thought, give up Yuan Shao and go to Dong." ”
"Why this trade-off? Why don't you give up Dong and take Yuan Shao? "To tell the truth, Man Chong and Dong have a grudge against their father. But sixteen years have passed. The hatred of the past is slowly fading...... Full of pets also knows. When Dong killed his whole family, it was a complete misunderstanding. It's impossible to say who's right and who's wrong.
If you want to blame, you can only blame that Taipingdao......
But let Man Chong bow his head to Dong, he was still a little reluctant in his heart.
Not only is it unwilling, but in fact, everyone in the mainland, including Cao Cao, is unwilling to bow to Dong.
Lu Su smiled bitterly: "Yuan Shao is based in Jizhou, and the money and grain are abundant. Although he was repeatedly hit by Dong Jiazi, his vitality was not injured. Over the years, Hugh has seen that Yuan Shao has used troops again and again, but in fact, his Jizhou headquarters has not suffered land losses. Even if Dong invaded the state, Yuan Shao's general Gao Lan was the first to move the people of the state and brought back most of the people.
Princes, Yuan Shao does not dare to be an enemy of Dong now, but he is strong in his hands, and he will definitely not give up the land of Qingzhou. If the lord takes that Yuan Shao, unless he gives up Qingzhou...... Moreover, Su did not dare to guarantee that Yuan Shao would be satisfied. ”
Lu Su's words really spoke in the eyes of Cao Cao and others.
But Dong is different...... The battle of Luoyang was originally started unintentionally, and he himself did not seem to have any intention of getting involved in Luoyang. The reason why the current situation has come to this is entirely because Dong wants to save face for the king of the Western Han Dynasty. After the great victory of Luoyang, his goal has been achieved. At the same time, in the past year, he has reached the limit of seizing and annexing states and grabbing Youzhou. ”
"Not bad!"
Xun You stood up and said: "According to the news from Xizuo, Dong is practicing the method of conscription in Guanzhong with 25 draws of one, and the tax is extremely low. In this battle of Luoyang, Dong even activated the newly established Chongquan Weinan two camps, and the 300,000 beggar troops spent countless money and food in the battle outside the Saiwai, making the troops in Guanzhong empty.
At the same time, Chang'an has ordered the Western Regions to allocate men, horses, grain and grass, which is enough to show that it is difficult for Dong to start a big war now. ”
Lu Su glanced at Xun Yu gratefully.
"There are eight levels of arch guards in Luoyang, and now Dong Xiping has won six of them, although he does not have the power to attack, the defense is more than enough. I believe that he now also very much hopes to end this big war as soon as possible, and then seek time to recuperate. Therefore, if we take Dong, we will have enough capital to bargain with him and seek the greatest benefits. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but ponder silently.
No doubt......
Lu Su's words did speak to his heart.
Man Zhong has been convinced, but he still wants to fight back again, "Zijing said that we have the capital to bargain with him, but I don't know what the capital is?" ”
Lu Su smiled, "Jizhou Yuan Shao is our biggest capital!" ”
Cao Cao laughed, "What Zijing said is extremely true, that Yuan Shao of Jizhou can indeed become our biggest capital now." ”
After pondering for a while, Cao Cao said, "Zijing thinks it's better to send someone to negotiate peace?" ”
"I have heard for a long time that Dong Xiping is a very affectionate person, and the lord can send important ministers, but he must have a friendship with Dong."
"Oh? Is there a candidate for Zijing? ”
Lu Su nodded and said, "Yushi Chen Qun should be the best candidate." ”
