Chapter 101: Half a Year
Lu Bu was rejected for begging, and finally ended up in a different place, a dead nest, with no integrity at all.
Guo Jia will not feel sorry for how many such celebrities have died, anyway, he never admires people like Lu Bu, no matter how big his fists are, he doesn't have a good mind to command, in the final analysis, he is still brave.
Liu Bei followed Cao Ying to Xuchang to meet the Son of Heaven, and was recognized as the emperor's uncle by Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven.
Liu Xie asked Liu Bei to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but in fact he was soliciting foreign aid, and Liu Bei was overjoyed to confirm the identity of this imperial uncle.
He lost a Xiaopei in exchange for a "Uncle Liu Huang".
After Guo Jia learned about it, he joked to Qin Mi: "Liu Xuande has made a good deal. β
In Guo Jia's eyes, Liu Bei has made a lot of money!
In the past, his royal status was said by himself, even if Liu Xie really took out the family tree, who could be sure that Liu Bei was really a descendant of the Han family?
Four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there are a large number of short-lived emperors, and there are countless merry emperors and princes, they are really full of descendants, and they can't be counted, not to mention more than a dozen generations, that is, counting up to a few generations, I am afraid that the descendants of the Han family are as many as stars.
If Guo Jia is an unknown person, if he has the intention to deceive and delve into the genealogy of the Han family, he can also casually recognize a cheap dead ghost father as his origin.
Liu Bei confirmed his status as a royal family, and his political capital rose suddenly.
If Yuan Shao started a war with Cao Ying, he would be guilty of rebellion. If Liu Bei fights Cao Ying, he can erect the banner of "Qingjun side", since he was recognized by Liu Xie as a descendant of the royal family, Liu Bei can legitimately carry the banner of the Han family, and his political appeal in recruiting troops is stronger.
In the past, Liu Bei did have popularity, but this prestige could not bring him political status, but a "Uncle Liu Huang" could make him leap up and become the focus of attention in the world.
Cao Ying wants to eliminate his worries in a short period of time, Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu either surrender or die, as well as Liu Biao and Sun Ce, these two Cao Ying want to be exterminated, but they are also powerless.
Sun Ce swept away Jiangdong's unstoppable power, Cao Ying was very jealous, on the premise that there were no grievances in the past, Cao Ying did not want to take the initiative to make enemies, and it was the best policy to win over and appease.
Cao Ying looked beyond his territory, but he didn't expect something to happen under his nose that caught him off guard.
Yuan Shu fled to Hebei in embarrassment, and when passing through Xuzhou, Cao Ying learned the news, Liu Bei asked Ying to kill Yuan Shu, and Cao Ying agreed to it.
The results show that there are pros and cons, but the disadvantages outweigh the pros.
Yuan Shu died, not he killed, but Yuan Highway, who had been pampered for many years, died of illness on the way to escape, and the outstanding son of the Yuan family in the lintel of the third prince of the fourth world finished the last time of his life in sorrow.
Cao Ying's purpose of sending Liu Bei out was achieved.
Yuan Shu withdrew from the stage of dominating the world.
But Liu Bei took the opportunity to defraud Xuzhou City, and he couldn't blame the Xuzhou guard general for being careless, Liu Bei was the imperial uncle recognized by the Xuchang Imperial Court after all, and Cao Ying approved the army to come to Xuzhou, but no one expected that Xuzhou, which Cao Ying had just arrived, was lost in a blink of an eye.
Liu Bei also openly broke with Cao Ying after attacking Xuzhou City.
Ming Gong became a thief.
Perhaps Liu Bei, who has always flaunted benevolence and kindness, suddenly repeated, which Cao Ying did not expect, but he also smelled an unusual atmosphere.
The imperialist party made waves again.
This time, it's the edict of the cloth belt.
Just as Guo Jia wants to keep an eye on a person in Yizhou, there will be no omission, Cao Ying has many eyeliners in the Xuchang Imperial Court, although the imperial party is widely implicated, he still arrests Dong Cheng.
The blood in the belt involved a lot of people.
And what made Cao Ying angry the most was Liu Bei and Ma Teng.
Objectively speaking, Cao Ying's anger is justified.
Cao Ying did lay out in Xuzhou, Liu Bei lost Xiaopei, and Cao Ying couldn't get out of it, but if Cao Ying really regarded Liu Bei as an enemy, I am afraid that Liu Bei is now a lonely soul on the Huangquan Road.
But Cao Ying is a hero, he also has a heroic complex, Liu Bei is certainly a often defeated general, and what he has done in the past is admirable.
Cao Ying's first expedition to Xuzhou, Liu Bei took poor soldiers and horses to rescue Xuzhou, and with this courage alone, Cao Ying couldn't kill Liu Bei.
And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, a peerless general, Cao Ying is not only red-eyed, but also thinks about it.
He is a smiling hero, respect for heroes, preference for fierce generals, no worse than anyone else, and he can often subdue many unattainable fierce generals, for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Ying is naturally very fond of it, he even heard Guan Yu say that Zhang Fei has the ability to take the head of the enemy general in the chaotic army, such as the ability to probe and take things, immediately lost color, and wrote down Zhang Fei's name in the clothes, in case one day he met Zhang Fei on the battlefield, he must not be careless.
Without Cao Ying's take-in, Liu Bei would never be able to be "Uncle Liu Huang", Cao Ying was ruthless, Liu Bei was already a dry bone in the grave, countless people privately suggested that Cao Ying kill Liu Bei for a long time, Cao Ying never made up his mind, but this thought of benevolence brought such a result that made Cao Ying angry and cold.
Ma Teng also participated in the edict incident, Cao Ying didn't need to talk to Ma Teng and the snake, after the matter was exposed, Dong Cheng's whole family was killed, and Ma Teng sent a letter to Xiliang Ma Chao through various channels before he was placed under house arrest, and the letter indicated that Ma Chao would be anti-Cao to the end.
Cao Ying also intercepted a letter from Ma Teng, and he smiled bitterly.
Originally, he wanted to use Ma Teng to blackmail Ma Chao and contain Guo Jia in Kansai.
Now, he is cocooned and bound to himself.
Ma Teng's family, young and old, also set foot on the Yellow Spring.
The Ma family was slaughtered several times, even when Han Sui and Ma Teng were at odds, they also killed Ma Teng's family, and Cao Ying almost made the Ma family desperate, and the Ma family was left with only Ma Chao, who was still struggling in Xiliang.
Because of Guo Jia's strategy of attacking Guanzhong, Ma Chao only has a negligible strength to take over Ma Teng's governance of the territory, so Cao Ying is not afraid of Ma Chao, especially if Ma Chao wants to come to the Central Plains, he must first go through Guo Jia's territory, once the two families have a dispute on this issue, it will provoke a dispute between the two families, so Cao Ying killed Ma Teng without fear.
If you don't kill, you can't do it.
On the eve of the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, the first thing to do was to stabilize the interior, and not let the imperial party faction take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, the death period of these three people, two by two, is three months.
Yuan Shao had actually forced Gongsun Chan into a desperate situation, but Gongsun Chan just couldn't die.
Outside Yijing City, there are moats, and in addition to the moats, there are moats, which weigh dozens of times!
Gongsun Chan built a pavilion as high as ten zhang in the city, he lived on it with his family, there were no stairs, official documents or needed things were hung up with ropes, and the herald was specially trained to shout with a high voice.
is such an absolute defensive strategy that makes Yuan Shao at a loss.
It was Yan Liang and Zhang Jaw who went to the front line, and it was difficult for them to rack their brains to lure Gongsun Chan out of the city, but the result was nothing.
Tian Kai, Guan Jing and other generals were besieged outside Yijing City, and some of his subordinates suggested that Gongsun Zan go out of the city to rescue.
Gongsun Chan said something like this.
"If you go and save them, then the people who are surrounded in the future will not fight to break through, so they can't be saved."
What could be more sorrowful than an outcast?
Zhang Jaw and Yan Liang saw this scene, and their plan was ineffective, so they sent Tian Kai, Guan Jing and other generals to return to the West Heaven.
Yuan Shao urged him three times, Yan Liang's scalp was numb, and he was helpless.
Zhang Jaw calmly came up with a countermeasure at this time.
Yuan Shao's army no longer attacked the city, and when Gongsun Zhan saw this situation, he was ashamed: "Now that the heroes are rising, it is clear that no one can support me for a year." What can Yuan Shao do to me! β
Once upon a time, there was a hero who said something similar.
"If you can't rule the world, you can live here for the rest of your life."
Dong Zhuo has been dead for less than ten years, but some people have repeated the same mistakes.
Gongsun Zhan's pavilion is very similar to the Yiwu built by Dong Zhuo back then.
LΓΌ Bu held Xiapi and was eventually betrayed by his men, while Gongsun Zhan did not figure out how Yuan Shao's army had entered Yijing until his death.
His tall building was burned to the ground.
The soldiers and horses with open jaws appeared in Yijing City as if they had fallen from the sky.
In fact, it is not from the sky, but from the earth.
Yuan Jun dug a tunnel outside to lead directly to Yijing, perhaps, this should be the earliest tunnel tactic in history.
In the realm of ten deaths, Gongsun Chan seemed to want to retain some dignity, and did not want his family to be humiliated, so he ended their surnames with his own hands, and then added another fire to the fire and died in the fire.
Once upon a time, the White Horse General, who was feared by the Qiang people for a while, disappeared into history in this way.
Gongsun Zhan's defeat was nothing more than four reasons, the battle line was too long, the defense line was too wide, and he did not have enough talents and troops to govern and defend, so he was broken by Yuan Shao one by one. The second is that he is so ambitious, thinking that he has a territory and has an indispensable capital, he not only appointed the Qingzhou Thorn History, together with Yanzhou and Yuzhou, have appointed the Thorn History to take office, not only take the initiative to make enemies, but also make too many enemies. Third, Gongsun Chan killed Liu Yu and lost the hearts of the people, even if Liu Yu disagreed with him, Liu Yu was always his top boss, killing the chief was equivalent to committing chaos, who would act for the tiger? Zhao Yun abandoned Gongsun Zan and left, definitely not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death. The last reason is that Liu Bei broke away from Tian Kai and went to Xuzhou, which more or less made Gongsun Zhan's strength decline, although with Liu Bei by his side to help him, he may not be able to reverse his fate.
At this point, Yuan Shao unified Hebei in a real sense, and with his friendship with the Wuhuan Qiang people in the north, his worries about going south were all lifted.
In just half a year.
The number of heroes in the world has decreased by three.
Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan.
Cao Ying had prepared everything, but now he had to turn around and fight Xuzhou again.
Yuan Shao, on the other hand, has already begun to fight hard, and when he has hoarded enough grain and grass to carry his baggage, he will wave his army south.
Before the battle that decided the pattern of the Kanto region began, the eyes of different forces were unanimously cast on the Kansai region.
There is a person who must not be ignored.
He can change the fate of many people.
Guo Jia.
