Since it was decided that three days later, the battle would be fought in front of the city, Tian Jing let the soldiers rest and recuperate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He went to the battalions when he had nothing to do. When I arrived outside the Ju Yan camp, I saw that Ju Yan was training soldiers. Seeing that those soldiers followed the order of the bow performance, they lay down for a while, stood up and held a pause, shot with a crossbow for a while, and charged with a sword for a while. After watching it for a while, I understood the intention of the performance, and then I walked into the camp.

Ju Yan didn't want Tian Jing to come over to patrol the camp, so he immediately greeted him in person.

Tian Jing said with a smile, "I watched General Ju train his soldiers, and he is very combat-oriented, and it seems that every link is prepared, and the battle is done in one go." I don't know if the general's tactics have a name? ”

Ju Yan smiled, "This training method is being passed on to my uncle." ”

Tian Jing hurriedly said: "This is the tactics used by General Ju Yi when he broke Gongsun Zan at the boundary bridge. ”

Ju Yan hurriedly said, "Back then, my uncle was able to defeat Gongsun Chan in the Battle of Jieqiao, and he relied on this method of battle. The Beiwei army has three crossbows for one person, lying in front of the formation and waiting for the enemy to charge to the front before suddenly shooting, because of the close distance, they can shoot and kill the enemy in a large area without even aiming. When the enemy is in disarray, immediately launch a charge, and you will be able to defeat the enemy. ”

Tian Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "In this case, why didn't the general say this tactic when the discussion was in place." Back then, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was not an opponent of the Beiwei Army, and now Chen Ji is afraid that he will suffer a big loss in front of the crossbow arrows of my Beiwei Army. ”

Ju Yan smiled, "My school has not been established for a long time, and the training is still insufficient. So I didn't dare to talk about it, for fear of delaying the general's major affairs, and for fear of ruining my uncle's prestige. ”

Tian Jing smiled, "The general is too modest." Only then did he suddenly remember that he had promised to rebuild the Beiwei Army. It seems that Ju Yan is also deliberately hiding it, hoping that he can bring it up again. Then he said, "In this battle, let you arrange your school of men and horses in the front army, if it can achieve miraculous results, after the war, I can let you rebuild the Beiwei army, and prepare the tentative three schools of soldiers and horses, and you will lead the army independently." ”

Ju Yan immediately knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you, General Zhengbei." ”

Tian Jing hurriedly asked Ju to act, and then asked, "I've always wondered why Ju Yi named this army back then. ”

Ju Yan hurriedly said: "The one who carries the shield on his back can not only block the enemy in front of the battle, but also be invisible on the ground, and he has the intention of fighting against the water, and can only advance but not retreat; The one who is as tall as a mountain is taken to mean that it is not chaotic and stable like a mountain. ”

Tian Jing listened and praised, "Yes, this is a good achievement." This time, I'm going to see the majesty of your back army on the battlefield. ”

************************************************************************

Three days later, Tian Jing was under Longkang City, because Wu Fang's cavalry had not yet had time to arrive, so this time the phalanx of 10,000 people was full of infantry. There were three rows of archers in front, followed by the back army of Ju Yan, behind which were spearmen, and sword and shield men were maneuvering on both sides of the camp.

Seeing Wang Ping's formation, Tian Jing knew that Wang Ping was going to rely on the infantry phalanx to defeat the enemy in a dignified manner, and the phalanx was decent without any fancy. The only strange soldier is the school of Ju Yan, a man with three crossbows.

Tian Jing stood on the high slope on the side and watched the enemy's formation, ready to take a good look at this battle. Who knows that when the sun rises three poles, there will still be no one in Longkang City coming out.

Tian Jingxin said that it was Chen Ji's tired tactic to deliberately let our army wait outside the city? But if they had come out to line up at this time, and the front of the two armies had an unobstructed view, how would this battle be fought? Tian Jing didn't figure it out, and waited for a long time to see the enemy army out of the city, realizing that something must have gone wrong.

asked Wang Ping to arrange for someone to go and call the battle. I don't know that there is still no answer in the city. Wang Ping didn't care much, so he sent a school of sword and shield men to rush to the city, but found that there was no one in the city to shoot arrows to stop him.

This time Wang Ping was strange, and he didn't line up anymore, and the army immediately attacked the city. The soldiers climbed up the city wall to see, although the flag was waving, but there were no defenders, and the people standing on the city were straw men wearing military uniforms.

After leaving the city and opening the gates, the army poured into the city, only to find that there was no resistance in the city at all. The common people all closed their doors and hid in their homes, and the entire Longkang street was empty.

Only then did Tian Jing know that he had fallen for Chen Ji's plan, and the scout quickly went south to find out the news. Leaving a school of men and horses to defend the city, he led his own army to the south. How do you know that when you chased to the edge of the Huai River, you just saw Chen Ji leading the last team of soldiers to board the big boat and leave.

Tian Jing was so angry in his heart, he didn't expect to be put on a show by Chen Ji here. Chen Ji hugged Tian Jing on the boat, "The general came from afar to see him off, and Chen was grateful." There was no battle under the city of Longkang, and if the general in the coming day intends to cross the Huai to fight with me, Chen will wait for the general under the city of Dangtu.

Tian Jing was furious, and the soldier next to him released arrows, but the boat was far away, and the arrows fell into the water.

Tian Jing ordered people to search for boats along the river to the east and west, but he didn't know that the boats and fishermen and boatmen who had traveled dozens of miles along the river had all been transferred by Chen Jizheng to the south bank of the Huai River.

Tian Jing knew that there was no way now, so he asked Liu Pi and Ju Yan to occupy Yicheng and Ping'a counties, and at the same time set up a water village near Yicheng, preparing to build ships, recruit sailors, and train a naval army.

Tian Jing now occupies the six counties of Xiangcheng, Chengfu, Longkang, Huxian, Yicheng and Ping'a in Runan, and if the people settle here, they can feed him more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. However, at present, it is sparsely populated, and even dozens of miles without people, and his food and grass supply all depends on Cao Cao. Tian Jing thought that it was possible to fight here for a long time, so he wrote a stamp on the situation of the war in Runan and reported it to the imperial court.

Now all the seals for the emperor have to pass the Shangshu order Xun Yu, Xun Yu saw the content of Tian Jing's seal, so he copied a copy to Cao Cao first.

Cao Cao received the content of Tian Jing's seal, and saw that he had captured the eastern part of Runan in a short period of time, and his evaluation of this baby general was a little higher. At this time, Cao Ren's soldiers and horses also attacked the bank of the Huai River. Zhang Xun led his troops to retreat to defend the waters of the Huai River in the section of Zhongli and Xutai. Chen Lan and Lei Bo garrisoned Huaiyin to defend a section of water from Xutai to Huaiyin to Haikou. From this point of view, Yuan Shu's strategic intention is very obvious, that is, the whole army retreats to the south bank of the Huai River to block the crusade of the coalition forces with the Huai River.

Cao Cao thought that if he wanted to completely exterminate Yuan Shu, it seemed that it would take a lot of trouble. He ordered Cao Ren to be stationed in the water village and train the water army. As for the grain and grass given to Tian Jing, it can't be given in vain, and he still has to be compensated by Hedong after it is finished.

Cao Cao's plan has been decided, and he will face the king.

Dedicated to the emperor, he greatly rewarded Cao Cao for destroying Lu Bu and recovering Xuzhou. All the meritorious soldiers in Cao Cao's newspaper were rewarded according to Cao Cao's intentions. After Emperor Xian finished speaking, he asked as soon as he turned the subject, "Among the meritorious soldiers in the general's newspaper, there is a Yuzhou assassin Liu Bei, this person I once heard Tian Jing, the general of Zhengbei, say that he is still my clansman. I wonder where this person is now? ”

Cao Cao originally asked Liu Bei to be the minister outside the palace, after all, he wanted him to be loyal to himself and serve in the center, and it was impossible not to see the emperor. But I didn't expect Emperor Xian to take the initiative to ask, and it was Tian Jing who mentioned it, I don't know if there is any relationship between them, and this point should be carefully guarded against in the future. Cao Cao nodded and said, "Liu Bei is the minister outside the palace." ”

Emperor Xian said, "In this case, Xuan Liu Bei will meet you." ”

Liu Bei was injured and came to the palace, and knelt three times and bowed nine times to the emperor. In fact, there are few people in the court who usually make such a big ceremony, and he knelt down to see all the civil and military officials.

Emperor Xian hurriedly asked Liu Bei to excuse himself and got up to answer.

Emperor Xian asked about Liu Bei's life experience, and Liu Bei said that he was after King Jing of Zhongshan. Emperor Xian was overjoyed when he heard it, but this important matter involving the royal family genealogy could not be unscrupulous. Emperor Xian asked Zong Zheng to come up and confirm his identity with Liu Bei.

This Zhongshan Jingwang Liu Sheng is the son of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Sheng gave birth to more than 50 sons, and it was impossible to record them one by one at that time, so Liu Bei said that he was Liu Sheng, but it was actually difficult to verify. However, Liu Bei remembered his family tree, which his grandfather said to him before he died. Liu Shengsheng, Lu Chengtinghou, Liu Zhen. LIU Zhensheng, Peihou, LIU Ang. Liu Angsheng, Marquis of Zhang, Liu Lu. Liu Lusheng Yishui Hou Liu Lian. Liu Liansheng, Qinyang Hou Liu Ying. Liu Yingsheng, An Guohou, Liu Jian. Liu Jiansheng, Guangling Marquis, Liu Ai. Liu Aisheng glue Hou Liu Xian. Liu Xiansheng ancestor Liu Shu. Liu Shusheng, Qi Yanghou, Liu Yi. Liu Yisheng, Yuan Zehou, Liu Bi. Liu Bisheng, Yingchuan Hou, Liu Da. Liu Dasheng, Feng Linghou, Liu Budo. Liu Budo was born to Liu Hui, the Marquis of Jichuan. Liu Huisheng, Dongjun Fan Ling, Liu Xiong. Liu Xiongsheng Liu Hong. Liu Hongsheng Liu Bei. Counting from this hereditary count, Liu Bei is the nineteenth grandson of Han Gaozu.

Zong Zheng couldn't confirm whether Liu Bei was really a relative of the Han family, because Liu Bei lacked a token that could prove his identity; But Zong Zheng couldn't say that Liu Bei was not a relative of the Han family, because he had no evidence. Since Emperor Xian was waiting to ask, he had no choice but to say the truth, "According to Liu Bei's genealogy, this person is the nineteenth grandson of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. This sentence seems to be certain and uncertain, it depends on how Emperor Xian himself understands it.

Liu Xie is now the right ally, and seeing how Liu Bei is willing to let go of such a suitable candidate, he stepped down from the dragon chair and grabbed Liu Bei's hand, "I am the twentieth grandson of Han Gaozu, if you talk about it, you are still my imperial uncle." Since God has mercy and let the imperial uncle come to me, then we will be closer in the future. Liu Xie turned around and said to Cao Cao, by the way, how does the general think Liu Xuande's credit should be rewarded this time?"

Cao Cao said a little reluctantly, "I don't know what the saint thinks ......."

Emperor Xian hurriedly took over the conversation, "It's better to make Uncle Huang the general of Zuo, the Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion, after all, he has also contributed a lot to my Han Dynasty." ”

Cao Cao replied with a smile: "According to the saint, Liu Bei has no mansion in Xudu, so I will give a courtyard in the south of the city to General Zuo as a mansion." ”

Emperor Xian hurriedly said, "Then I have thanked the general for the emperor's uncle." After Emperor Xian finished speaking, he returned to the dragon chair, "I don't know what else is important for Zhongqing?" ”

Xun Yu reported Tian Jing's report to the table. When Emperor Xian heard this, he said, "Tian Qing has recovered the eastern part of Runan and hit the bank of the Huai River, yes, I am very satisfied." The general needs to give more support for food and grass. ”

Cao Cao replied, "They are all serving the imperial court, and the ministers should not talk about it, but the minister's subordinates need grain and grass for the eastern expedition to Lu Bu and the southern expedition to Yuan Shu." Now that the grain harvest is in short supply, the 20,000 Ma Chen, who supplied the general of Zhengbei, are also powerless. It is better to transfer grain and grass from Hedong, and only need to be transferred to Hanguguan nearby. The minister allocated grain to the northern army from Yuzhou nearby. ”

When Emperor Xian heard this, he felt that Cao Cao's opinion was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.
