Chapter 69: Chen Qingzhi's Ambition

"Oh? Ziyun, why did you choose Wang Yanzhang? Don't you know that he has always disobeyed you? Xu Jue was puzzled when he heard this, when Chen Qingzhi came to defect, these two people were very incompatible, just like enemies in the previous life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hehe, lord, it is precisely because General Wang is not convinced of me that I asked him to be my deputy general and use my strength to convince him; Moreover, although he does not obey me, he is a man who is upright and obedient to military orders, and as long as I am one level above him, he will obey my orders. Chen Qingzhi stroked the beard of his chin and smiled.

"As you say." Xu Jue looked at Chen Qingzhi, who was full of ambition, and knew his skills very well, so he didn't ask any more.

"My lord, act according to the previously established strategy, within a month, the three cities will be broken!" Zhou Yu agreed.

"Well, Gong Jin, the cooperation between the two of you is really like icing on the cake, as long as the three counties of Jingnan are captured, our army will have a basic base, and there is abundant grain there, which is enough for our army to expand."

"My lord, the last general recently discovered that Liu Biao's behavior is abnormal, and he has a great heart of disobedience, he seems to have the intention of being in Jingzhou and calling himself king." Chen Qingzhi suddenly gave up his hand and interrupted the discussion between the two.

"Oh? How so? Xu Jue always thought that Liu Biao, as a member of the Han family, would not reveal his ambitions so quickly, even if he was restless.

"Lord, the last general originally wanted to lobby Liu Biao and persuade him to assist us in attacking the three counties in the name of Emperor Han, but the last general heard that he is now recruiting talents, and he has a lot of prestige in the land of Jingzhou, so that thousands of miles are cleared, and the people are respected, and he has built a high city wall in Jingbei for a generation, and he has a great intention to defend himself, I am afraid that this lobbying will not be successful."

After a pause, he continued: "According to intelligence, Liu Biao recruited Yu Yunwen and Wang Xuance the day before yesterday, both of whom are heroes in the world and are quite appreciated by Liu Biao. ”

“!” Xu Jue was a little surprised when he heard this, thinking that Yu Yunwen and Chen Qingzhi were the same type, although they were not as famous as Chen Qingzhi, their abilities would not be bad; Wang Xuance may not be a famous general if he is accurately defined, but he is an excellent diplomat, but his deeds are also awesome, breaking tens of thousands of soldiers with fire oxen, and even the legend of one person destroying a country, which shows that this person is extraordinary. ”

Seeing that Xu Jue was deep in thought, Chen Qingzhi patted his chest and said: "But the lord doesn't have to worry, even without Liu Biao's help, the last general will dare to guarantee to break the three cities in January!" ”

Xu Jue nodded and smiled: "Okay!" Ziyun is so confident, breaking the three cities is definitely not a dream, and after that, we can develop with peace of mind for a few months, and then discuss! ”

"The lord's words are reasonable, and the capture of these three counties is conducive to the future of Jingbei and the domination of the Central Plains, but I don't know what the lord plans to do after capturing the three counties of Jingnan?" Zhou Yu looked at Xu Jue's eyes, which are the same as the eyes of interviewers interviewing newcomers in today's world.

When Xu Jue saw Zhou Yu like this, he became serious, and the words were clear in his ears: "Located in Jingnan, Pingyangzhou, recruiting talents, storing grain and grass, and then going north, returning to the old capital." ”

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this, but Chen Qingzhi had a slight objection: "My lord, the last general thinks that after the three cities are broken, the top priority is to occupy a majestic place and build a high city wall, thinking that the capital can increase its prestige and prepare for the reception of the old ministers of the court." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Xu Jue didn't understand what Chen Qingzhi meant by welcoming the old minister.

"Huh...... The lord, the Han Emperor was young and had no real power; The old ministers of the Han family, all in Chang'an, the foundation of a country is not in the king, but in the subjects and the people, although Dong Zhuo is a usurper of the Han Dynasty and self-reliance, scolded by the world, but he has the wealth of the old ministers of the court and the Han family, and his reputation has to be said; Although the Han Emperor is orthodox, he lives in a corner, obscure, and foolishly thinks that after capturing the three counties of Jingnan, he should issue a war letter again, gather the princes to conquer Dong Zhuo, break through Chang'an, and welcome the old ministers! ”

“!” Xu Jue was quite surprised to listen to Chen Qingzhi's suggestion, thought for a moment and frowned: "Ziyun's words are not bad, now this miniature Han court of Chaisang is just a few people such as me, there are no three princes and nine kings, it is nothing, this matter is really important, it's just ......"

"What scruples does the lord have?" Chen Qingzhi.

"I convened the princes once a few months ago, and then for various reasons, the alliance was dissolved, and the directors should be dissolved, and now if they are convened again, it will ......"

"That's right." Zhou Yu echoed, "Ziyun, the princes have their own selfish intentions, how can this alliance last for a long time, and now that Dong Zhuo is high in Chang'an and has millions of troops, how can we defeat him?" ”

"My lord," Chen Qingzhi saw that both of them were a little opposed, so he expressed his opinion, "Although the princes are in dispute today, there are many people who do not obey the orders of the emperor and do their own thing, but there are also many people who support the Han Emperor and hate Dong thieves. Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian has a straightforward personality, sincere and sincere, and there are Danyang soldiers, who are extremely brave; If the lord persuades him to send troops in the name of His Majesty, he will agree, and as for the other princes, not to mention all of them participating in the alliance, there will be at least two or three. ”

Xu Qi nodded and pondered: "Ziyun is reasonable, but even with the help of these princes, it will be difficult to break through Chang'an." ”

Chen Qingzhi showed a resolute expression, the arrogance in his eyes, and the arrogance of his tone, as if he did not put the people of the world in his eyes: "My lord, if I can personally lead 10,000 soldiers, I will make Dong Zhuoxi's Liang army bleed for thousands of miles, and ambush millions of corpses!" ”

“!” Zhou Yu showed a surprised expression, and then smiled disdainfully, "Heh...... Ziyun, you boast so much! In the past, a Lu Bu, with only a few thousand soldiers, intercepted my 200,000 allied troops at the Tiger Prison Pass for several days, and even beheaded several generals of our coalition army, but you want to use 10,000 soldiers against Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of soldiers? ”

Zhou Yu didn't deliberately raise the bar with Chen Qingzhi, but Chen Qingzhi's words were too crazy, unlike Lu Bu guarding the Tiger Pass, there was a Xiongguan to defend, worthy of 100,000 male divisions, but if you want to attack the city with 10,000 soldiers and destroy the enemy, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"Gong Jin, don't underestimate me!" Chen Qingzhi saw Zhou Yu sneering at him, and he also swore with a thick neck: "Lord! Today, I made a promise that as long as 10,000 soldiers were allocated to me after the three counties were leveled, I would definitely train this army into an invincible army, and use him as a sharp blade to go to Dong, and it will definitely be able to go down in history and shine for a thousand years! ”

Xu Jue knew the miraculous powers of Chen Qingzhi in history, so he did not show shock, and the history books clearly recorded that he fought 47 battles with 7,000 soldiers, broke 32 cities, approached Luoyang, and wiped out 500,000 troops.

Although nine and a half of the ten people will be suspicious of this record, this is an obvious fact, Xu Qi himself also analyzed it, thinking that maybe these hundreds of thousands of troops refer to more than 10,000 soldiers in each city, thousands were destroyed by Chen Qingzhi, thousands of people fled, and those who fled to the next city were defeated again, and then new deserters appeared...... In this way, in the end, a total of 500,000 enemies were annihilated, otherwise I really can't imagine how he could defeat 500,000 people with 7,000 men.

Xu Jue nodded, smiled very generously and patted Chen Qingzhi's shoulder: "Ziyun, I believe in you, and I will definitely ask you to be my pioneer and make a name for me!" ”

Chen Qingzhi was very grateful, although he boasted about Haikou, but he didn't expect everyone to agree with him, and he was ready to be sprayed, now seeing Xu Jue trusting him so much, he still felt warm in his heart, and bowed his hand: "Thank you for your trust!" I, Chen Qingzhi, will live up to the trust of the lord! ”

"Hehe, good! Ziyun, without further ado, I'll go to the camp to order troops and generals, and get ready to go on the expedition! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Qingzhi arched his hand and retreated proudly, and the back of the dashing departure looked proud, leaving Zhou Yu with a look of disbelief: "Lord, do you really believe that he can break Dong Zhuo hundreds of thousands of people with 10,000 people?" ”

Xu Jue looked at Zhou Yu's handsome face and said, "Gong Jin, to be honest, I don't believe it very much, and I even doubt it, but since he can go to this sea, we will be impressed, so why doubt him and hit him?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "The lord is generous, I know it below, but our army is only more than 20,000 people, if he does not succeed in this 10,000 people, he will become benevolent, and I will wait for ......."

"Hehe, Gongjin, I understand what you mean, so you have to kill less and take more prisoners when attacking the three counties!"

"Well, my lord is clever." Zhou Yu was noncommittal to Xu Jue's words, and it was true that capturing was more clever than killing.

When they came to the barracks, except for Bao Zheng and Shen, who did not come to the city, and Gao Pet, who was seriously injured in bed, and Li Kui, who was traveling to collect medicine, were not listed, and the rest of the generals were ready to go.

Xu Jue looked at Li Shimin, who was calm and proud, and stepped forward with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Shimin, I have something I want you to help me do." ”

"But listen to the lord!" Li Shimin bowed his hand, and his expression was very relaxed.

"O people of the world, the stakes are high, and if you can succeed, we will be halfway there." Seeing Li Shimin like this, Xu Qi was a little uneasy, and continued to take care of him.

"My lord, please speak, the people of the world will complete the task!" Li Shimin hurriedly straightened his posture and concentrated.

"Left and right, take a thousand taels of gold!"

"No!" , the two of them gave up.

"Shimin, you carry this thousand taels of gold to Guiyang, Guiyang is too protective of Zhao Fan is unscrupulous, greedy and profitable, you say it with great power, persuade him to send troops to attack Wuling, this matter can only succeed, not fail!" Xu Jue's face is awe-inspiring, and he is determined to win.

"Yes!" Li Shimin replied loudly, confident.

The two of them came with a thousand taels of gold, and Xu Jue ordered: "The two of you will go to Guiyang with Master Li, and there will be no mistakes in protecting the safety of Master Li on the way!" ”

"No!" The two gave up.

Xu Jue nodded with satisfaction: "Shimin, you can set off now, and I will set off later!" ”

"Yes!" Li Shimin agreed with a smile, turned around and got on the horse, and left with the two entourages.

Xu Jue watched Li Shimin, and then shouted loudly: "Soldiers, this battle must be difficult, we need to fight for a month before the results can be revealed, the life and death of this trip are uncertain, those who are afraid can stand up, I give you permission not to go!" ”

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Don't be afraid to fight to the death, break through the enemy city!" ”

Xu Jue shouted: "Okay! This is my Xu Jue's soldier, my Han's guardian! Next, the formation, the soldiers obey the order! ”

"Roar, roar, roar!" More than 20,000 people in the city chanted in unison, their morale was high, waiting for Xu Jue's next instructions.
