"Can't you hold on?"

Marriage is a good way, but unfortunately most of the benefits have to fall into the hands of the Mi family.

As for Toucheng, Tao Qian didn't think about it at all.

is also a hegemon, just like Cao Ying once said, how can he be willing to give up his territory until the mountains and rivers are exhausted?

Although Tao Qian is old and ambitious, he must also plan for future generations!

So he said this sentence extremely unwillingly.

Adhere.

"Stick?" Zhang Zhao sneered: "Where to stay?" The king of Yuyang has been based in Qingzhou, and to the south is a horse Pingchuan. Xuzhou has no danger pass, no giant city, and only one Pengcheng can be regarded as a city with high walls. However, Tao Gong, Pengcheng is the capital of Xuzhou! ”

Tao Qian was speechless.

"If it is other princes, it is Cao Ying or Yuan Shu, and Tao Gong has no need to be afraid. But the king of Yuyang, hehe, he is too strong. Don't Tao Gong know that the army of the King of Yuyang is good at using immortal arts!? How did the tens of thousands of troops of Gaotang die and be defeated? How did Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuan, the two fierce generals who once fought against Lu Bu under the Tiger Prison, be arrested? Wasn't Chen Yuanlong, a resourceful figure, also captured? ”

Every time Zhang Zhao said a word, Tao Qian's face turned white, and everyone in the hall had no way to refute it.

Yes, although the defeat of the Tang Dynasty was due to the rebellion of Liu Dai in Qingzhou, the 40,000 army of Xiahou Chun was brutally defeated! The two fierce generals will be caught!

The more Tao Qian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I was persuaded by you." However, the matter of surrender must not be mentioned again. Let's get married, but whether this matter is successful or not, it depends on Mr. Zibu's means, if it can be done, the pastor of this state will let Mr. leave freely, if not"

After saying that, Tao Qian shouted: "Zhang Min, you immediately go and take Mr. Zibu's family to the state pastor's mansion and take care of the state pastor." ”

A small general walked in outside the door, said a promise, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao's face remained unchanged, and he said, "In this case, I will go to this matter immediately." As soon as this matter is completed, Lord Wangzhou Mu should not break his word! ”

With that, Zhang Zhao turned around and looked out the door.

At this time, Tao Qian closed his eyes, waved his hand tiredly, and let his subordinates retreat.

Chen Gui caught up with Zhang Zhao and sneered.

"Zhang Zibu, you are so calculating, hey!"

"Yes, it's a good calculation." Zhang Zhao nodded and said bluntly.

"Hmph, if the Mi family marries Liu Yuan, they will definitely move to Hebei, and when Xuzhou's economy is implicated, it will be sluggish and weaker, how can it still resist the threat from all around? You have such a vicious heart! ”

Chen Gui said in a condensed voice.

"Didn't you object?" Zhang Zhao smiled slightly: "With your wisdom, how can you not see it?" Aren't you worried about your young son Chen Yuanlong? Or, Chen Hanyu, do you also think that Tao Qian's tree is about to fall, and he is ready to push it and find a way out by himself? ”

Chen Gui was silent.

The two of them were speechless, left the state pastoral mansion, and walked a long way.

Chen Gui said at this time: "I have something to ask for, please ask Zibu for help." ”

After that, Chen Gui took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Zhao, and said, "When Lao Zibu went to Youzhou, he looked for an opportunity to hand over this letter to my child. ”

Zhang Zhao didn't refuse, took it, and said with a meaningful smile: "It seems that Mr. Han Yu has been prepared for a long time." ”

"Hmph," Chen Gui snorted and said, "It's obvious." Defeated, and powerless to resist, naturally send someone to say something, or beg for mercy, or surrender, anyway, I want to send someone, I'm just worried about the child, just prepare early. ”

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Han Yu will bring this matter to you." And Mr. Han Yu doesn't have to worry, with the surname that King Yuyang has always valued talents, Yuanlong must be offering good wine and meat now, at most it restricts freedom. ”

Chen Gui nodded, and thought deeply: "Yuanlong is in Youzhou, I'm not too worried. The old man is just worried about the future of my Chen family."

"Why bother?" Zhang Zhao touched his sleeve and said, "Hasn't Mr. Han Yu already made a decision?" Besides, this Xuzhou can't fall in a day or two, at least three or five years, Tao Gong still has a chance, hehe. ”

"Indeed," Chen Gui sighed: "There is time, and there are opportunities, but the current Tao Gong can't grasp it." ”

"Tao Qian, old man." Zhang Zhao shook his head: "The king of Yuyang has obtained Qingzhou and obtained the most important springboard to the south, if Xuzhou is taken again, all the princes of the Central Plains will not be able to sit still, let go of each other's prejudices, and will inevitably attack it in groups." At present, Hebei's Jizhou and Bingzhou are still in their infancy, and they have not yet developed and grown, and Qingzhou is in ruins. ”

Luoyang.

Yuan Shao's face was hideous, and he was furious.

"Gongsun Zhan! Gongsun Chan! ”

Just now, Yuan Shao received the news that Gongsun Zhan's three-way army had captured Zuo Fengyi.

This surprised him, but he was indeed full of anger.

"What a boldness, such a boldness, you dare to offend my Yuan family! Damn, shit! ”

Yuan Shao roared angrily: "Someone, send an order to Chang'an Zang Hong, at all costs, to exterminate Gongsun Zan and recapture Zuo Fengyi!" Summoned Gao Lan, sent 100,000 troops, and attacked Hedong for me, I want to seize his lair, and govern his body in the way of others! ”

All the strategists and generals in the hall were silent.

Yuan Shao's temper is well understood by everyone, if he is calm, he can still listen to persuasion, but when he is angry, no one can touch his moldy head!

"The Last General's Order!"

Gao Ran got up, took the order, and turned to leave the hall.

Yuan Shao only lost his breath a little at this time, and sat there with his chest rising and falling rapidly.

"My lord, I can't be so angry with that grandson." Guo Tu said slowly: "Besides, the desolate land of Zuo Fengyi is not very populous, and if you lose it, you will lose it, not to mention that it is really difficult to recapture it across the Weishui." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he glared angrily.

"However, if you can capture Hedong, you can not only make up for Zuo Fengyi's lost losses, but also have great benefits. Taking advantage of the fact that Gongsun Chan has not yet returned to Hedong, it is a good opportunity. Guo Tu pretended not to see Yuan Shao's expression, and continued: "But if the lord wants to seize Hedong, then Hanoi Wang Kuang may be a hindrance, and he needs to plan carefully." ”

At this time, Yuan Shao's anger had gradually subsided, and after carefully considering Guo Tu's words, he suddenly felt reasonable, but he still said in a tough tone: "Wang Kuang, Mole Ant, still dare to compete with General Ben?" ”

"Wang Kuang is an ant." Feng Ji hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said, "But ants will also struggle, and there is a natural danger of the Yellow River?" Lord, I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"Oh? Come on. ”

Yuan Shaoxing has greatly increased.

"The lord can first issue an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven to denounce Gongsun Zhan, and at the same time give Wang Kuang an edict, let him lead his troops to attack Hedong, as long as he conquers Hedong, he will be given it! When Wang Kuang and Gongsun Chan are both defeated, the lord can send the general to quietly cross the river, take Hanoi, and also take Hedong at the same time! ”

Feng Ji smiled.

"Reasonable! Reasonable! ”

"Inevitably, Wang Kuang was vigilant, and the lord could let General Gao Ran lead 100,000 troops into Yongzhou, claiming to be 500,000, to reinforce General Zang Hong, attract his attention, and make Wang Kuang think that the lord had invested all his forces in Yongzhou and was bound to recapture Zuo Fengyi. In this way, when Wang Kuang and Gongsun Chan are both defeated, General Luoyang Zhangjaw will be all the way, and General Gaolan of Chang'an will be attacked all the way, and at the same time, they will be able to take Hanoi and Hedong quickly, as well as Zuo Fengyi! Guo Tu added.

"Good, good!"

Yuan Shao said three good words in a row, and his expression was very excited: "That's it!" That's it! ”

Then, Yuan Shaojian entered the palace and asked the puppet son of heaven for two edicts, one to the world to reprimand Gongsun Zhan, and the other to Jian Yong, so that he could go to Hanoi as an angel and issue an edict to Wang Kuang.

When Gongsun Zhan had just laid down Zuo Feng Yi, when Yuan Shao was about to calculate Wang Kuang. And state, Gao Shun led an army of 20,000 by himself, went out of the Danghu Pass, quietly went south, and came to the Jiguan!

Kei Pass is the only passage between Hanoi and Ha Dong.

The high walls of Jiguan City are thick, and there are dangerous peaks and high cliffs on the left and right sides, among which as long as there are 10,000 horses, it is 100,000 troops who attack continuously for a month, and they may not be able to take it.

Keiguan was occupied by Gongsun Zhan, and his brother Le He led an army of 20,000 to defend it.

Gao Shun hid the army in a hidden place outside the Kei Pass, so he brought his own personal guards to check under the pass.

Keiguan is a cliff on one side, a cliff on the other, eight zhang high, no more than ten zhang long, Gao Shun frowned when he saw it.

"It's dangerous! If you are a husband, you can't open it! ”

After checking the Keiguan, Gao Shun did not stop, quickly returned to the camp, sat in the tent, and pondered.

"The chief of Kei is only ten zhang, and the number of guards surnamed only 100 people at a time is enough, the so-called wheel war does not work at all, and the offensive surface is too narrow!" Gao Shun pondered: "The city walls are all built with big bluestones, which are high and thick, and the siege equipment may not be able to play a role!" ”

Although Youzhou's siege equipment is very sophisticated, it is really difficult to play a role in this kind of pass. The only thing that can break the barrier is the combined attack of the army!

"But" Gao Shun pondered: "It's not difficult to break the pass, but after it is broken, it has to be repaired, but it's okay."

"It seems that there is no other way to do it"

Gao Shun thought about it, but there was no progress, so he asked the soldiers to summon all the generals under his command to discuss the matter.

After listening to Gao Shun's introduction to Jiguan, a young general suddenly stood up and said, "General Gao, I have a way!" ”

Gao Shun looked up and saw that it was the teenager Li Yin.

Li Yin is a native of Yuyang, grew up listening to the deeds of the King of Yuyang and the Youzhou Army, and later entered the Martial Arts Academy, from the primary, intermediate, and senior, and finally studied in Youzhou College for three years, because he was outstanding in all aspects, he was assigned to Gao Shun as soon as he graduated in the spring of this year, and he did the position of captain of Jianwei.

"Oh? Little plum, you say! ”

For this flexible and cheerful teenager, Gao Shun likes it very much, and has always called him 'Little Lizi', Li Yin's face collapsed, and he said in a sullen voice: "Hot air balloon!" ”

"Hot air balloons?!" Gao Shun was puzzled. He is often in the army, and he has not been back to Yuyang for two years, and he doesn't know much about many things that happened in Yuyang. Especially the hot air balloon, it was only a few months, and Liu Yuan personally experimented successfully at the end of last year, so he naturally didn't know.

"Yes, it's a hot air balloon." Li Yin nodded fiercely, his face showing reverence: "This is a great invention that the Great Lord Yuyang King personally successfully experimented with a few months ago!" ”

"Ahh

Hearing this, all the generals in the tent exclaimed. What was invented by Liu Yuan himself, how could it not be worth the exclamation of these Liu Yuan's admirers?!

Gao Shun perked up and said, "Come quickly." ”

Li Yin smiled and said, "Then General Gao can't call me 'Little Lizi' in the future, otherwise I won't say anything about it!" ”

"You stinky boy, this is a military order, do you understand the military order!?" Gao Shunqi blew his beard and stared, seeing that the kid raised his head, stalked his neck, and looked like he was beaten to death and didn't say anything, he couldn't help compromising and said, "Okay, okay, just don't call it, you say it quickly!" ”

"Yay!" Li Yin rejoiced and said, "Sew it with cowhide"

Li Yin explained the method and principle of the hot air balloon, and all the generals in the tent immediately became happy.

"Not bad, yes, worthy of being a top student who graduated from the college!" Although Gao Shun listened in a daze, he was still very happy and praised him.

As long as it works, it doesn't matter what it is!
