Chapter 206: Qingzhou Plain
When Cheng Yu found Zhang Xiang, Yang Xu was also on the side, reporting some of the situation in Youzhou to Zhang Xiang, but most of Zhang Xiang already knew, after all, Zhang Xiang grew up in Youzhou and was very clear about the situation in Youzhou, so he was also not interested.
Zhang Xiang saw Cheng Yu and glanced at Yang Xu again, "Wenpin, you won, I didn't expect it to be Zhong De who came first, I thought it was Brother Yin?" I didn't expect Brother Yin to be so calm this time. ”
Yang Xu: "Lord Yin is not in Jinyang, but he is also rushing back?" Because the news of the subordinate's blockade of the attack on Youzhou spread quickly, of course, Mr. Zhongde came first. ”
In fact, Yang Xu and Yin Kui are two kinds of people, they are harmonious on the surface, but they have no deep friendship in private, from Yang Xu's call Yin Kui Lord Yin, you can see one or two, but if the relationship between his advisers is good, Zhang Xiang will have a headache.
Balance is the way of the king, if there is harmony underneath, Zhang Xiang is not so important, the relationship between Yin Kui and Yang Xu is also what Zhang Xiang is willing to see, and Cheng Yu also verified his thoughts when he saw this scene.
"Is it true or false that the lord attacked Youzhou." Cheng Yu is a contradictory person, who looks like a good old man, but sometimes he is too ruthless in doing things, and sometimes he is very old-fashioned and polite, which makes people puzzled.
Zhang Xiang's three major strategists, Cheng Yu is the last thing Zhang Xiang wants to provoke, and his questions Zhang Xiang generally answers questions, "It can be true or false, it's the situation in Qingzhou." ”
"The lord wants to unite the Qingzhou forces to besiege Yuan Shao, what is it that makes the lord become too hasty?" Cheng Yu guessed things exactly by just three words, which is indeed amazing.
Zhang Xiang: "Zhang Jiao's daughter Zhang Ning appeared in Zhang Yan's place, Zhang Yan is recruiting troops under her banner, Jizhou has already had internal worries, so I plan to do an external trouble, and this Zhang Ning has something to do with my eldest brother Zhang Fei." ”
Cheng Yu immediately understood why Zhang Xiang chose to send troops, Yuan Shao can indeed knock on a stroke when facing internal and external troubles, not to mention that when this hidden danger of internal worries is still related to Zhang Fei, Zhang Xiang must also take action in order to get rid of some suspicions.
When there is a stain on a person's body, there are two solutions, either find a way to whitewash, or find a way to blacken yourself, no matter which path is the end of the road, but Zhang Xiang's stain is related to huge interests.
At this time, whitewashing has no effect, Zhang Xiang can only choose to blacken himself, attacking Youzhou seems to be cooperating with Zhang Yan, and it is indeed a good move not to completely break with Yuan Shao.
Cheng Yu: "That is to say, the biggest problem of the lord now is Qingzhou, if Qingzhou doesn't make a move, Yuan Shao won't feel threatened, and the lord will take a completely wrong step." ”
Zhang Xiang: "This move is indeed a dangerous move, if it weren't for my eldest brother Zhang Fei, I would definitely not take a step, since I want to go to Qingzhou, I must say that I can move, or even a two-pronged move, such as Yanzhou." ”
"Don't you know, my lord? The Qingzhou Yellow Turban that Yanzhou Cao Cao is facing now seems to have no time to take care of! Yang Xu still thinks that Zhang Xiang doesn't know the situation? At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiang, the three heroes, paid the most attention to Cao Cao.
Zhang Xiang: "Of course I know this, Yuan Shao's existence is a threat to the surrounding forces, and Cao Cao is no exception, otherwise do you think Cao Cao's support for me last time was really out of morality?" If Cao Cao is alone, I don't doubt that he did this, but Cao Cao is the head of Yanzhou, he is not living for himself now, if it weren't for Yuan Shao, do you think his subordinates would agree? Arbitrariness is something that few people do. ”
Cheng Yu: "The lord plans to let Cao Cao continue to support and put pressure on Yuan Shao, so we can also use the little emperor to exert pressure on Yuan Shao. ”
Cheng Yu said this, Zhang Xiang really didn't expect it, Zhang Xiang gave Yang Xu a look, Yang Xu immediately went out to find a way to find someone to negotiate with Li Dao Guo Yan, Cheng Yu saw the matter clearly, and left behind Yang Xu without asking.
Whether it is Cao Cao's solidarity or the little emperor's solidarity, in Zhang Xiang's eyes, it is actually not a big problem, after all, solidarity is just a gimmick, although it has an effect, it cannot change the essence of the matter.
Let Yuan Shao vomit blood and see the truth on the battlefield, so the most important thing now is to let Liu Bei send troops, if Zhang Xiang and Zhang Yan alone, no matter how loud the momentum is, it will not be able to shake Yuan Shao.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Yuan Shao was the first prince of the late Han Dynasty, in fact, Yuan Shao was not much worse than Dong Zhuo before, the only difference between the two sides was the strength of the army, otherwise the name on Dong Zhuo's head would have been Yuan Shao's, and there was no need to get the posthumous at all.
This time Zhang Xiang decided to let Zheng Gang go, first, Zheng Gang knew Liu Bei and others, after all, acquaintances are easy to do, and second, Zheng Gang's eloquence is unparalleled under Zhang Xiang, although the wisdom is a little worse, but at least he is loyal, Liu Bei's kung fu is a must!
Zheng Gang received the errand to Qingzhou, so he put down everything in his hand, Zhang Xiang's attention to Liu Bei was no one clearer than him, when Zhang Xiang was still the head of the pavilion and the head of the township, he began to deal with Liu Bei.
If it was an ordinary person, Liu Bei would have collapsed a long time ago, but Liu Bei was still upright, Zheng Gang didn't think Liu Bei was a person to be messed with, Zheng Gang immediately sent an envoy to Qingzhou, and when Zhang Xiang didn't tear his face with Yuan Shao, Zheng Gang was still very safe.
Zheng Gang entered Qingzhou before he deeply realized Liu Bei's extraordinary, although Liu Bei was in the name of a plain county order, he controlled the entire plain county, although he started by a woman, but there were few who ate soft rice so successfully.
Zheng Gang came to visit, of course Liu Bei knew Zheng Gang, and there were several sides, Liu Bei was very enthusiastic about leading people, and the same is true for people he didn't know, how familiar do you think you know if you don't know?
What's more, it treats acquaintances, "Zheng Gang didn't expect that you were still under the door of your junior brother, you seem to have been looking for traces of Xiao Sheng all these years, I thought you had left your junior brother?" Looks like I misunderstood. ”
Zheng Gang: "Lord Liu said that it was a joke, I was born reckless and didn't have any skills, I just begged for some food by the lord's side, and did some small things within my ability, and it was normal for my reputation to not be obvious." ”
Liu Bei: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, my junior brother!" I won't let you come to reminisce for no reason, let's talk about what's the matter, we don't have to be so foreign to each other, I will definitely help if there is something. ”
Zheng Gang: "Yuan Shao is vainly in the name of the fourth and third dukes, which is simply a disgrace to his ancestors, and he has been provoking wars in various places all these years, and the lord can't see it, so he wants to unite Lord Liu to crusade against Yuan Shao." ”
Since Liu Bei has already said it, naturally he can't come forward at this time, after all, what Zheng Gang said is not a simple matter, and Liu Bei also gave Jian Yong a look.
In fact, Jian Yong's skills are very similar to Zheng Gang's skills, almost all of them eat with their mouths, "This Brother Zheng, the matter you are talking about is not so simple, Yuan Shao is not to talk about it first, his strength is far superior to my lord, rashly send troops If Zhang Zhou can't afford to send troops, isn't my lord trying to provoke a strong enemy?" ”
Zheng Gang: "If it weren't for the severe drought and the rebellion of the Black Mountain Bandits in Jizhou, I believe that Yuan Shao would have invaded Qingzhou at this moment!" Otherwise, what would the soldiers Qinghe County for? ”
Jian Yong: "Tunbing Qinghe County, we don't know, whether your news is wrong, this is not a trivial matter, let's go investigate first and then discuss!" Hearing this, Zheng Gang knew that he had met an opponent.
Jian Yong's trick was clear and pretending to be confused, blocking all of Zheng Gang's words, even if he continued to entangle, it was useless, after all, now the Yuan army of Qinghe County had retreated.
If Jian Yong holds on to this, Zheng Gang really has nothing to do, Zheng Gang can only retreat now, "It takes time to find out the news, so I will retreat first and visit tomorrow, but I believe that you all have the truth of the matter, and there seems to be no such shop in this village." ”
As soon as Zheng Gang left, he didn't drag the mud and water at all, but threw the problem to Liu Bei, which was also a good way, Liu Bei was also worried because of Zheng Gang's move, to be precise, because of Zhang Xiang behind Zheng Gang.
If there are no outsiders, Liu Bei's relationship with everyone is very close, and there is no majesty as a master, after all, there are only three or two kittens, and no one will look at Liu Bei even if he pretends to be.
It's better to win people's hearts in this way, "Do you think I should agree to Zhang Xiang's proposal, I always feel that there is no good thing in it, but it is also a fact that Yuan Shao peeked into Qingzhou." ”
Jian Yong: "The lord Zhang Xiang, this kid can't believe it all, and he can't believe it all, in fact, even if he doesn't come, I should do it to Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao makes the first move, we don't even have a chance to backhand, after all, we are in favor of this cooperation, but before we cooperate, we have to knock Zhang Xiang a lot of money." ”
Sun Gan is Liu Bei's newly accepted advisor in Qingzhou, originally this Sun Gan was recommended to Xuzhou by the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, but I don't know what happened to this Sun Gan, but he values Liu Bei, who is prosperous in Pingyuan County.
gave up the opportunity to go to Qingzhou and took refuge in Liu Bei, his choice was not wrong, Liu Bei's subordinates lacked the most important thing was the strategist staff, so he also attached great importance to this Sun Gan, and Sun Gan naturally repaid him with loyalty.
Sun Qian: "Although I don't know Zhang Xiang, but I have also heard of Zhang Xiang's reputation, Zhang Xiang is very serious and doesn't care about reputation, if you don't agree to this cooperation, Zhang Xiang is likely to beat a rake and it will be unfavorable to the lord!" ”
Liu Bei: "Gongyou! Zhang Xiang is not as unbearable as you said, at least he has been good to me all these years, he may be using me, but at least he should harm me, what Xianhe said is very reasonable, since Yuan Shao wants to move Qingzhou, we have to do it first. ”
Zhang Xiang would never have thought that Liu Bei would make a move because of his previous hypocrisy, this is indeed an unexpected gain, of course, this is only one of the reasons, the most important reason is that Yuan Shao has hurt Liu Bei's own interests. (To be continued.) )
