Chapter 142: A play within a play

Ding Cheng still cooperated like that, which made Zhang Xiang have no sense of accomplishment at all, but Ding Cheng's cooperation can also show that he is a person who understands current affairs, and Zhang Xiang knows that he will go down according to his plan.

Often this kind of person is the most likely to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, he knows when to do something, and will not fall to the weaker side, and Zhang Xiang is in an absolutely strong position compared with Ding Lei.

Zhang Xiang: "I like to talk to smart people very much, because I won't waste my tongue, Ding Liang will survive, but he wants to compete with Ding Lei for Ding Yuan's original position, you go and help him." ”

It is a great thing for Ding Cheng to be able to return to Ding Liang's side, this time has almost driven him crazy, but he is not really crazy and knows that his strength cannot compete with Ding Lei, "Lord County Shou, our side seems to be weak!" ”

Zhang Xiang: "Of course I know this, after you return to Jinyang, Yu Zeng will support you, I can give you food and grass, I can give you what you want, but if you fail, you don't have to live." ”

Ding Cheng: "We don't have the confidence to defeat Ding Lei. Of course Ding Cheng knew that Yu Zeng was the leader of the largest group of rogues in the state, Ding Cheng didn't expect that Yu Zeng was Zhang Xiang's person, but even if there was Yu Zeng, Ding Cheng was not absolutely sure.

Zhang Xiang: "I don't need you to completely defeat Ding Lei, if you have that ability, I won't let you take the risk in person, then I will be reluctant, you just need to hold Ding Lei before I do it, if you can't even do this, it's a waste of my time." ”

Ding Cheng was very decisive at this time, and took on all the things, Ding Cheng left the county under the escort of Zhou Yang, Zhang Xiang suddenly felt that the county guard was too small, and it was time to change places.

Just when Zhang Xiang provoked the Ding brothers, Yuan Shao also returned to Bohai County. Although the battle against Dong was anticlimactic, it made Yuan Shao the leader of the alliance and earned enough reputation.

Zhang Xiang is not satisfied with a small Yanmen County, how can Yuan Shao be satisfied with Bohai County? At this time, Yuan Shao's adviser was Xu You, Xu Yu was talented, but he was also extremely greedy.

He and Yuan Shao have known each other for a long time, and Xu Yu gave advice to Yuan Shao when he was discussing Dong. Weakening Han Fu's strength, he knew that Yuan Shao couldn't help but make a move, just one step away, "Lord, I can attack Jizhou, Han Fu can't bring peace to the people of Jizhou, only the lord should not let go." ”

Yuan Shao: "Han Fu has been in Jizhou for many years, and he is an old official of the Yuan family at any time, but his foundation in Jizhou is very stable. Although our strength was damaged this time, it hurt our bones, and it may be difficult for us to win if we attack rashly. ”

Xu You: "The lord is otherwise, Han Fu is very observant of his duties, and he doesn't have such great ambitions, Jizhou is a big state of money and grain that is being watched by the heroes, Han Fu knows that the Jizhou clan is also very clear, even if Han Fu really doesn't want to give up his territory, those families in Jizhou will let him be willing." Therefore, as long as the Lord makes his head public, there will be many people who are anxious to jump out and serve the Lord. ”

Yuan Shao immediately wrote a letter to Han Fu. Sent someone to Han Fu's hands, Han Fu was also a little hesitant after seeing this letter, Han Fu was indeed a person without ambition, he didn't want to get involved in this dispute between the end of the Han Dynasty.

So he discussed with his subordinates to send Jizhou to Yuan Shao, but was strongly opposed by the two generals Geng Wu, Beijia Min Chun, Zhao Fu and Cheng Lian, and they only expressed one sentence.

Most people who are not ambitious are people who are indecisive. So Han Fu rejected Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao began to invade Jizhou on a large scale, and the Bohai soldiers confronted the Jizhou soldiers.

When Zhang Xiang got the news of Yuan Shao's attack on Jizhou, Ding Liang had been supported by Zhang Xiang, and Zhang Xiang also knew a lot of Ding Yuan's secrets from him. It turned out that Ding Yuan had always had something to do with the Huns outside the country.

Just like the relationship between Zhang Xiang and the Wuheng people, the Huns also traded with each other with the support of Ding Yuan, which also allowed the Huns to survive many disaster years, and now these Huns have been connected with Ding Lei.

Zhang Xiang suddenly found that he thought Ding Yuan was too simple, if he could leave a name in history, none of them were soft persimmons, because of the appearance of the Huns, so Zhang Xiang could only continue to support in secret.

Zhang Xiang is not like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has the support of the family in Jizhou, but Zhang Xiang has nothing in Bingzhou, and some of Ding Yuan's secret hands are constantly appearing, Zhang Xiang suddenly feels that Yang Xu is not doing well, and such important news is only known now.

Yang Xu knows very well that he will grasp the changes in people's hearts, he has watched Zhang Xiang grow up over the years, but the more Zhang Xiang grows, the more Yang Xu begins to hide and dare not touch Zhang Xiang's bottom line.

Yang Xu knew that the matter of the Huns had touched Zhang Xiang's bottom line, Zhang Xiang had invested a lot of money in the news, but he hadn't even checked the things under his nose, this was indeed his problem.

Zhang Xiang was not surprised at all by Yang Xu's plea, what if Yang Xu didn't come, it would make Zhang Xiang strange? Sometimes two people together don't need too many words," explained. ”

"It's dark under the lights." Yang Xu only said three words to cover all the problems, Zhang Xiang nodded, Yang Xu left with confidence, the less Zhang Xiang said, the safer he was, if Zhang Xiang talked more, the person who spoke to him should be careful.

Zhang Xiang has always felt that using knives and guns to solve problems is the most stupid way, and war is just a bargaining chip, and since the Huns are involved, Zhang Xiang's strategy has also changed.

Zhang Xiang asked Ding Cheng to publicize the relationship between Ding Lei and the Huns, and Ding Lei was furious and took revenge on Ding Liang, which was a great determination for Ding Lei, but at this time, Yu Zeng suddenly withdrew from Jinyang.

Cats have cat paths, dogs have dog paths, Yu Growth period is in the dark, naturally has its own way, Yu Zeng left Jinyang safely as if nothing had happened, Yu Zeng did not run away.

Instead, to provoke the Huns stationed outside the city, the Huns are still somewhat different from the Han, Ding Lei placed the Huns outside the city in order to save trouble, and Ding Liang was arrested by Ding Lei that night.

Ding Cheng was killed by soldiers in the process of protecting Ding Liang, but Ding Lei did not kill Ding Liang, in Ding Lei's eyes, Ding Liang may be very unbearable, but he is also his own brother.

So Ding Lei chose house arrest, this may be the fate of Ding Cheng and Ding Liang's secret father and son! As soon as the father came out, the son went in, but it was just a different place, but the treatment did not change much.

The morning sun rose the next day, Ding Lei thought that everything was over, but at this time Yu Zeng attacked the Huns, and the Huns were unprepared to be captured by Yu Zeng, and Yu Zeng retreated with a blow.

How could the Huns be willing to give up and follow the pursuit, when the gate of Jinyang was wide open, Yu Zeng brought people in, and Yu Zeng arranged his own people at the city gate in advance, causing the Huns to also enter Jinyang City.

Ding Lei actually heard the news that the Huns had entered the city as soon as he fell asleep, so he immediately got up and went out to stop it, Ding Lei did make the Huns stop the pursuit, but unfortunately the people of Jinyang did not thank Ding Lei, everyone could see that Ding Lei had collusion with the Huns.

The people talked a lot, Yu Zeng and others took advantage of the chaos to hide in the city, Ding Lei couldn't find anyone even if he wanted to be held responsible, Ding Lei was also speechless in the face of the leisurely mouth of the people of Jinyang, not to mention that what they said was the truth.

Ding Yuan's subordinates were divided into several factions, although they were all loyal to Ding Yuan, but some did not like the Hu people, so these people turned to Ding Liang's arms and rescued Ding Liang from house arrest.

Yu Zeng took the opportunity to join Ding Liang, Ding Liang didn't know the truth, he only knew that Yu Zeng was the one who helped him, so he entrusted Yu Zeng with reuse, and this gentleman was very generous.

Let Yu Zeng control his own troops, Yu Zeng secretly has the support of Zhang Xiang and others, Ding Liang has the support of the people of Bingzhou, Ding Lei has empty troops but is at a disadvantage, but the two sides are still in a stalemate.

Ding Yuan may not be blind to death, his two sons do not have the ruthlessness to become talents, since they have been opposed, they are still timid to do things, which makes Zhang Xiang, who is watching the play in the back, feel bored.

Yuan Shao opened the door to Jizhou because of Ju Yi's help, Han Fu saw that the general trend had gone and surrendered to Yuan Shao, Han Fu's long history Geng Wu and Don't drive Min Chun failed to assassinate Yuan Shao and was beheaded, causing Yuan Shao to take the entire Jizhou.

After getting this news, Zhang Xiang was no longer in the mood to watch the play behind his back, he wanted to go out to act, Xiang Feijun set off from Yanmen and swept through all the counties of Bingzhou, and the performance of the Ding brothers and brothers had disappointed the big families in Bingzhou.

The two brothers were not worthy of the qualifications to carry Zhang Xiang's shoes, so the big clans in the state fell to Zhang Xiang's side, Ding Lei deserved to be Ding Yuan's most valued son, and he still showed the courage to confront Zhang Xiang at the critical moment.

He made friends with Ding Liang regardless of his previous suspicions, and even if he suffered a loss, he had to complete the rude conditions proposed by Ding Liang, and in the end, Ding Lei's efforts were not in vain, and the strength of the Ding family brothers and soldiers increased greatly.

And at this time, Zhang Xiang ordered Yu Zeng to blade Ding Lei's subordinates, and rebelled in front of Ding Liang, Ding Liang was annoyed and ashamed to reprimand Yu Zeng and Ding Lei, and Ding Lei saw that his efforts were going to be in vain.

Yu Zeng made a move and killed Ding Liang Looking at Ding Lei, "Lord, you can't hesitate now, Zhang Xiang, I used to deal with Yanmen, that time was the only defeat of my subordinates since the annexation of the state, if there is still Ding Liang in the army, it is impossible for us to win." ”

Although Ding Lei couldn't bear it, he also knew that he had to integrate all his forces to deal with Zhang Xiang now, Yu Zeng might have such and such selfish intentions, but at least he had a grudge against Zhang Xiang, and the enemy of the enemy was an ally that could be wooed, which Ding Lei still knew.

Ding Lei: "General Yu Zeng, you're right, now we have to fight against Zhang Xiang with all our might, there can't be a second voice in the army, it's really a pity that Ding Liang is my younger brother died unexpectedly." (To be continued.) )
