Chapter 302: News from Liu Bei and Zhao Yun
Xu Gan was slightly stunned, thinking that Feng Yao wanted to collect his own poems, so he followed the order, swiped his pen, and recorded the two poems on the bamboo slips. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Laughing, he separated the two poems and presented them to each other with Feng Yao.
Feng Yao ordered someone to keep the poems written by Xu Gan, and the two continued to talk, but this time Feng Yao deliberately wanted to test Xu Gan's ability in other aspects, and asked a lot about politics, and Xu Gan gave his own answers one by one, which made Feng Yao very satisfied.
"Wei Chang, your talent can manage the county, I want you to move to Yuzhou and become my subordinate." Feng Yaodao.
"I heard that the envoy has built an academy in Pingyu City, and if the envoy can agree, he is willing to serve in the academy!" Xu Gandao.
Feng Yao's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought that since the establishment of the academy, although many learned scholars have been invited to teach, there is no talent who satisfies Feng Yao in all aspects, if Xu Gan can go to Pingyu and preside over the teaching of the academy, it would be great.
"As you wish! You will become the dean of the academy, but now that I am at war with Cao Jun, I hope you will follow me as a strategist first, and then return to Pingyu with me when this is over! Feng Yao said.
Xu Gan happily agreed, and it happened that his wife was also in the city, Feng Yao sent two relatives to accompany Xu Gan back to the inn, retrieved his wife and luggage, and stayed in the guest room in the mansion that night.
After dealing with Xu Gan's affairs, Xu Shu happened to complete the integration of those captured Qingzhou soldiers one by one, but the main general Lu Chang was unwilling to surrender, and Xu Shu had no choice but to come to see Feng Yao and report to Feng Yao.
Feng Yao went to the prison again to persuade Lu Chang to surrender.
"I am greatly favored by Duke Cao, how can I surrender at such a critical time, please don't waste my tongue anymore, if you don't want to waste food, you can cut off my head now!" Although Lu Chang was moved by Feng Yao's conditions, he still shook his head and refused.
Feng Yao said: "I respect your talents, I hope you can help me, unify the world, and let the people get well-being, since you don't turn your back on the old master, then okay, I will snatch all Cao Cao's territory!" At that time, I saw how you rejected me! β
Lu Chang bowed his head and was silent, for a long time, Feng Yao turned around and was about to leave, Lu Changcai raised his head with a complicated expression, and said: "Please treat those soldiers of mine well, they are just thinking of getting a better life, and being able to become the soldier-soldiers of the envoy is the best ending for them, so please rest assured, they will not betray the envoy!" β
Feng Yao nodded, and before leaving, he instructed the jailer to take good care of Lu Chang and not let Lu Chang suffer from freezing and starvation.
After returning to the study with Xu Shu, Feng Yao thought about it for a while, at present, because Xu Shu mobilized 10,000 troops from Fenggao in a timely manner, plus the 2,000 Qingzhou soldiers who surrendered, and the recruited Zhuangding recruits, the total strength of Laiwu City has now reached 20,000.
Feng Yao selected a number of leaders from his relatives and appointed them as the governors of the tribes, and each commander led a thousand new Qingzhou soldiers, led by Zhang Da, so that Zhang Da's strength reached 6,000.
The next day, the rain was still falling, and Cao Cao's army did not move.
Strategist Xu Ganjin said: "Lord, this rain will fall for at least five days!" Please make arrangements as soon as possible! β
Feng Yao immediately consulted with Xu Shu and others, Xu Shu said: "The Qingzhou area is rainy and rainy, most of the roads are rugged, mostly depressions, or hills, after this rain, the water will be more serious, which is very unfavorable for our cavalry, and it is not conducive to the siege of the city, if our army is dragged here for a long time, it will bring Cao Cao a chance to breathe!" It is better to order Xuzhou Assassin Shi Lu Fan to send troops from the east and cooperate with Zang Ba to attack Cao Cao's rear! β
Feng Yao calculated that after receiving the order, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Lu Fan immediately led 30,000 troops from Donghai County to Zhuxu County in Beihai, preparing to attack Xiahou Yuan in Linqu County.
Another day later, LΓΌ Bu's envoy brought a letter asking if he would agree to Yuan Shao's conditions, abandon Dongwuyang, and temporarily cease war with Yuan Shao.
At the same time, Feng Yao also received a secret report from Yuan Ping in Puyang City, and there were two most important pieces of information in the secret report.
Article 1: Liu Bei arrived at Yuan Shao in Jizhou.
Article 2: The secret agent who has been ordered to investigate Zhao Yun's whereabouts finally found Zhao Yun in Zhao Yun's hometown of Changshan Zhending, and conveyed Feng Yao's meaning to Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun did not agree to Feng Yao's expedition on the grounds that there were frequent bandits in his hometown and he wanted to stay in his hometown to protect his family.
Hearing these two news, Da Feng Yao was surprised and delighted, and was surprised that Liu Bei actually chose to serve Yuan Shao instead of Liu Yao in the south, which would make the already powerful Yuan Shao's strength rise again.
The good news is that there is finally news of Zhao Yun, if you can get a brave and loyal military general like Zhao Yun, what will the future of the world be?
Liu Bei can't get Zhao Yun, will he still be born in the future?
"Now that Liu Bei is already in Jizhou, it is very likely that Zhao Yun will defect because of his familiar relationship with Liu Bei!! So we must do everything we can to subdue Zhao Yun before Liu Bei and Zhao Yun meet again!! Feng Yao said to the secret agent with a very solemn expression.
Although the spy didn't know why the lord Feng Yao valued an unknown young general so much, he still nodded without doubt and was about to leave, but after only a few steps, the spy suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and he turned back thoughtfully.
"My lord! When his subordinates inquired about Zhao Yun's background, they found that Zhao Yun had an extremely close relationship with a chivalrous warrior named Xiahou Bo, and Xiahou Bo had a brother named Xiahou Lan, who was now serving as the governor of Cao Cao's army! I don't know if this message has a little effect! The agent hesitated.
Feng Yao was overjoyed, patted the secret agent's shoulder again and again, and said happily: "This news is really good!" If I can subdue Zhao Yun, your merits will be very huge, and I will let Yuan Ping write down your merits! β
The spy looked happy and soon disappeared from Feng Yao's sight.
Feng Yao immediately summoned Yang Wu, Xu Shu, and Liu Shun, and showed his father-in-law's letter to the three of them in the secret room, and told the three of them the news of Liu Bei and Zhao Yun.
Yang Wu, the commander of his personal entourage, immediately spoke: "Lord, I don't know anything else, I just say that Cao Cao is our enemy at the moment, no matter what conspiracy Yuan Shao has this time, as long as it is beneficial for us to defeat Cao Cao, we can do it!" More on that later! β
"Yes, I also agree with Commander Yang's meaning, at present, in the entire Central Plains, only half of Qingzhou has not been controlled! As long as we can get the entire Central Plains, with the Yellow River in the north, the Yangtze River in the south, and the sea in the east, who else can move us?!! Liu Shun said.
Xu Shu nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with the views of the two very much, and after the two finished speaking, he spoke: "Lord, Liu Bei has a great plan, and he will not be willing to become a subordinate of Yuan Shao, if we start a war with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei will be worried that Yuan Shao will be defeated by us, and work closely with Yuan Shao to fight us together!"
