Chapter 2 Leveraging Strength
Silence, deathly silence.
It has only been more than a year since the battle with Yuan Shu, and Cao Jun and everyone still have a fresh memory of the heroic Jiangdong overlord, but they didn't expect that they would have turned into a dead soul on the battlefield. "Zhao Feng, it's Zhao Feng again, I can't imagine that even Sun Ce is planted in his hands!" Cao Ying sighed.
"Sun Ce is extremely rigid and must fold, it is not surprising that he has such an end!" Guo Jia's voice came slowly, and then he said: "It's just that in this way, Liu Bei has the three counties of Qingzhou in front of him, and he has no worries about Jiangdong in the future, so he can concentrate on development and sit back and watch us fight fiercely with Yuan Shao." ”
"Exactly, Fengxiao, what can I do?" Cao Ying was also a little unhappy with Liu Bei sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and hurriedly asked.
"Lord, in Jia's opinion, you can use the old plan of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf again, and find Liu Bei some trouble!" Guo Jia smiled, and then said slowly.
"Is that enough?" After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Ying also felt a little incredible, could this simple trick stumble Liu Bei?
"Lord, when this situation is in this situation, Jiangdong is in chaos, and we are busy dealing with Yuan Shao. There are only a few who can delay Liu Bei for the time being! Guo Jia was also a little helpless in his words, after all, the situation is not up to others!
"Since this is the case, we can only do this first, and I will ask Your Majesty to give an order when I go back!" Cao Ying specially put the word "please" more seriously, but everyone knows that this is by no means for respect.
"At present, our army still needs to hold the important place of Guandu, Gongming, you lead an army of 30,000 to garrison Yanjin, and Wen Qian assists you; Zixiao, you led an army of 30,000 to garrison Baima, and Man Cheng assisted him. The rest of the generals, follow my troops to the official crossing! Cao Ying has always been resolute, leaving Xu Huang and others to garrison Baima and Yanjin, and led the army to Guandu that night, while Xiahou Yuan led his troops to Guandu to build a position first.
"Wonderful talent has the talent of a general!" In the evening of the next day, when Cao Ying's army rushed to Guandu, he saw that Xiahou Yuan had already led his troops to set up a camp, and even Xiahou Yuan had people dig earth to build a city, and the two small cities had begun to take shape. Although it is small, its defense is still much better than that of the camp. Two cities and a camp, this horn has been formed.
Cao Ying led 70,000 horses and horses to wait in Guandu for half a month, and then waited for Yuan Shao's army, which was long overdue. During this period, Cao Ying's position had been quite well constructed. "Humph!" In the camp, Yuan Shao patted the table in front of him hatefully, and he was really unhappy in his heart. Not only because Cao Ying on the other side had seized the favorable terrain, but also because the self-thinking ingenious strategy was ineffective.
"It's all you rotten Confucians, who always say anything about delaying the war, but now Cao Ying has taken the lead!" Yuan Shao suddenly found a suitable scapegoat, and at that moment, the anger was all towards Tian Feng and Frustration. Although the two of them were silent, Guo Tu and the others did not dare to fall into the ground. Although Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were not liked by Yuan Shao, the two of them were upright and respectful to the generals, and Guo Tu and others did not dare to be too rude to them!
Yuan Shao lost his temper for a while, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "How is Qingzhou Shang'er doing?" ”
"The third prince is stationed in Le'an, General Zhang Jaw is stationed in Linzi, Zhang Fei does not dare to attack for the time being!" The judge on the side replied. After a little hesitation, the judge said: "It is reported that after General Gao Ran was captured, he has surrendered Liu Bei!" ”
"What?" Yuan Shao suddenly screamed like a cat with its tail stepped on, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the tent were also stunned, but they didn't expect someone from Hebei Sitingzhu to surrender!
"Pass my orders, and I will kill Gao Ran! In addition, tell Zhang Jaw that if he loses Linzi again, he won't come back! Yuan Shao was furious and gave two orders in a row. Everyone in the tent was shocked and hurriedly advised, and Yuan Shao reluctantly agreed to temporarily spare Gao Lan's family from death, but instead went to prison.
"It's really hard ma'am!" In Xuzhou City, Zhao Feng took Zhen Jiang's hand and smiled, and then whispered in her ear: "Treat you well tonight!" ”
"Nasty!" After hearing the last sentence, Zhen Jiang suddenly had a red cloud on his face, and he waved his hand to fight, but Zhao Feng took the opportunity to catch the jade hand, and he didn't let go until he saw someone coming.
"General Yu, General Gao's family has been settled!" Someone to report. "Got it, you go down!" Zhao Feng waved his hand to signal the soldier to go down, and then turned his head to Zhen Jiang and sighed: "Madam, if you don't use the Zhen family's caravan this time, I'm afraid that it will really take some trouble to pick up General Gao Lan's family from under Yuan Shao's nose." When Gao Ran surrendered, Liu Bei promised to help him bring his family over, so Zhao Feng thought of the Zhen family's caravan, so he asked Zhen Jiang to help with this matter. Zhen Jiang really lived up to his expectations and completed it successfully.
"Hehe, since my husband is invited, how can I refuse?" Zhen Jiang grinned and pulled Zhao Feng's arm and said. Since the two got married, Zhen Jiang has recovered a little bit of her childlike look, in fact, she is only 19 years old this year, but she has been in contact with the family business early, so she is just a teenager and an old man. Now following Zhao Feng, a pervert, he has been exposed to it for a long time, and he has become more and more unreserved.
Zhao Feng was about to tease his wife a few more words, when suddenly an untimely soldier came to report: "General Zhao, the lord has an urgent matter for you to discuss!" ”
"What's so anxious?" Zhao Feng was slandered in his heart, but he still hurriedly followed the person to see Liu Bei. "Lord, what's the matter?" Zhao Feng saw that almost all the high-level leaders in Xuzhou were here, and knew that there was a big event this time.
"Bo Tao, Cao Ying has given you another official title!" Liu Bei said with a smile, and at the same time handed a letter to Zhao Feng, who took a look, but appointed him as the Taishou of Nanyang and led the Inner Marquis. "Yes, yes, Cao Ying'er gave up my Runan Taishou to General Wenpin last time, but I didn't care, so I returned a Nanyang Taishou and sent another Guannei Hou!" Zhao Feng commented solemnly. When everyone in Xuzhou heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.
"Lord, this is clearly Cao Ying's murder with a knife, and he wants us to start a war with Liu Biao in Jingzhou! The current Nanyang Taishou is Liu Biao's brother-in-law Cai Mao, how can Liu Biao be willing to let General Zhao replace him? Sun Qian stopped laughing and hurriedly played.
"This is true, Cao Ying is afraid that I will be idle, I don't know what Bo Tao is going to do?" Liu Bei looked at Zhao Feng with a smile and asked, he knew that Zhao Feng had quite a lot of ghost ideas for this kind of thing, and he definitely didn't have to worry about it.
Zhao Feng laughed twice with everyone, and suddenly a bold idea appeared in his mind, he was taken aback when this idea first came out, but after thinking about it carefully, it was still feasible. Liu Bei and the others saw that his expression was unpredictable, and they who were familiar with Zhao Feng's surname knew that he was thinking about the problem, and they didn't bother at the moment, just to see what he thought.
After a while, Zhao Feng took a long breath and said slowly to Liu Bei: "Lord, Feng thinks of a method, I don't know if it is feasible, please decide the lord!" ”
"Bo Tao said come and listen!" When Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly felt that there was a door, and hurriedly signaled to Zhao Feng but said that it was okay. Zhao Feng nodded, and slowly said the truth, the more Liu Bei and the others listened, the more shocked they became, and they all felt unbelievable. But when I think about it, I think it's possible.
"Is that enough?" After listening to Zhao Feng's plan, Liu Bei pondered it carefully, and felt that there was no problem.
"It's not time now, wait for Zijing's navy to practice for a while. In addition, Bo Yan's warship needs to be further improved," Zhao Feng pondered. At present, the warship built by Lu Xun is also beginning to take shape, but Zhao Feng did not agree with his proposal to build a large building ship. For no other reason, it's because it's a bit of a useless thing. Zhao Feng remembered that in history, Dong Xi, the general of Eastern Wu, was drowned because the boat he was riding was swept away by the wind and waves in Dongting Lake, and that was Dongting Lake.
"Since that's the case, then let's wait for the time being, anyway, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu can wait, and I, Liu Xuande, can wait even more!" Liu Bei is also a good surname, and everyone laughed when they heard it.
Compared with the people in Xuzhou, Yuan Shao and Cao Ying were-for-tat, but the atmosphere in Jiangdong at this time could only be described as slaughter. "Zhao Feng, Zhang Liao, I swear to kill you!" In front of Sun Ce's spirit, Zhou Yu, who was dressed in a vegetarian body, did not have the elegance of the past at all, and became tearful, and his eyes were red.
After learning of the cause of Sun Ce's death, the entire Jiangdong had long regarded Zhao Feng and Zhang Liao as the biggest enemies. As for Zang Ba, I'm sorry, his reputation seems to be too low to be ignored. I don't know if Zang Ba should cry or laugh after understanding the reason.
"The lord left a will before his death, and he wanted to succeed Jiangdong." Cheng Puyan, who was crying on the side, his eyes were already red and swollen, and Huang Gai behind him also nodded silently.
"How can he be right, how can he be so responsible!" Sun Quan also had tears in his eyes, choking up. Cheng Pu looked at this 18-year-old boy, and his heart was a little bottomless, but he remembered Sun Ce's words before he died, looked at the old man Huang Gai on the side, saw that he also nodded, and then gritted his teeth and said: "The lord told me two words before he died, he said that as long as this is the case, you can sit firmly in Jiangdong!" ”
"What did the eldest brother say?" Sun Quan choked up and asked.
"Ask Zhang Zhao unconsciously about internal affairs, and ask Zhou Lang if you don't decide on foreign affairs!" Cheng Pu paused word by word, and almost spit out these fourteen words. Everyone in the mourning hall was stunned when they heard this, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao glanced at each other, and they both saw the same determination in each other's eyes: the one who is a confidant dies.
"Quan'er, since your eldest brother said so, you should quickly take on this burden!" Just as Sun Quan was still shocked by Sun Ce's last words, a middle-aged woman walked in from outside the door. "Mother!" Sun Quan didn't say anything more, he saw that although his mother was in tears, she was still holding the Yangzhou pastoral seal in her hand.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, in 199 AD, Sun Ce died in Shouchun, and his younger brother Sun Quan was only 18 years old, inheriting his title of Yangzhou pastor and rebel general, sitting in Jiangdong.
