Chapter Twenty-Four: The Discord Scheme
Jizhou, Yecheng, Han Fubu; Don't talk about other elements, just talk about some hardware strength, the original Han Fu is definitely the leading figure in the Han world, he occupies the vast territory of Jizhou than more generals, more people, grain and grass, than Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou these rich places, Jizhou occupies the Central Plains more position, especially in the south of the Yellow River natural risk, the west has the blessing of Taihang, the east of the North Sea, as long as the north is pacified, you can have the opportunity to show your strength; The general who was once under him, the general Pan Feng, is a peerless hero! The admiral bows righteously, and the arrogance is incomparable! The admiral opens his jaw, the admiral looks high, how many heroes and heroes the admiral has! It's a pity that because of his faint tricks, how many people are willing to chase him?
Under him, the resolute and resolute Tian Feng, the scheming Ju Yi, and the internal affairs lord Xun Bao, which one is a simple character? It's a pity that he didn't get anyone's sincerity!
Han Fu, in fact, he has a lot of similarities with Young Master Yuan, but Young Master Yuan met Li Xiaoxian and changed everything, while Han Fu did not meet the person in his life, so he is struggling now; Pan Feng was forced to death by himself, Ju Yi was forced away by him, these behaviors broke the hearts of those subordinates, and Han Fu was destined to be on the verge of failure if he did not have the same heart, different strength, and different virtues!
It's just that now there is a white horse general Gongsun Zan who is several times stronger than him, and he can still maintain the situation under the attack of Yuan Benchu and Liu Yu, and the current situation has really reached a dangerous situation; Gongsun Zhan came back from outside, and when he arrived at Han Fu's house, he sat on the couch with a snap, panting and pouring a pot of wine first, looking at the blood stains on his armor, he could imagine that he was not having a good time now; Han Fu's bitter gourd face looked even more bitter, and said, "What's wrong with Bogui?" Could it be said? ”
"Hahaha! Woo woo woo", Gongsun Chan laughed at first, and then cried bitterly, in the battle of Jieqiao, he used almost all his strength to fight with the general Ju Yi to the death, he was defeated, yes, defeated, defeated to the point of incompleteness!
His most elite Bai Ma Yi from the wear and tear, fight to the death and do not retreat, in the final glory, bloom the most dazzling glory, for themselves to win a glimmer of life, 70,000 cavalry army, in front of Ju Yi's halberd, the first camp, behind the Wuhuan rangers, the right wing is Wen Chou, the left wing is Yan Liang
I actually stepped into the trap prepared by Ju Yi, an army of 70,000! Seventy thousand! That's 70,000 living lives, how many have returned now? Less than 10,000! The always rigid White Horse General couldn't help but cry bitterly!
When Han Fu heard the news, he immediately panicked: "What should I do?" What to do? What to do", pacing back and forth, his heart was disturbed, or he regretted it! I regret joining forces with Gongsun Chan to resist Yuan Benchu!
His advisers had advised him that it would be better to sacrifice Jizhou directly to Yuan Shao, so that he could still live for a long time and ensure the glory and wealth of the Han family, but he didn't listen, he felt that he could divide one side, and now he regretted it; Do you want to defect to Yuan Shao? Han Fu stopped, but what? Pan Wushuang's last words are vivid, Yuan Shaogang is suspicious, not the master, he will kill you! If you want to defect, you must not defect to him, even Yuan Highway is much stronger than him!
After smiling bitterly, Gongsun Chan almost vented, wiped the tears in his eyes, and said, "Brother Wenjie! I want to ask you what happened to these people under you? If they hadn't listened to orders and didn't answer me, I wouldn't have been so defeated! You're going to at least give me an explanation, right? ”
General Baima's voice was violent, Han Fu's face froze, and he sighed: "Hey! O Bergui! My lord deserves to be a wreck! Many people already have the intention of taking refuge in Yuan Shao, and I can't order them! Once you rush it, I'm afraid they will bite back! ”
"Bastard thing!" Touch! The small couch was overturned, and Gongsun Zhan's eyes were like torches: "As a minister, he is not worried about the lord, but a collaborator!" No matter how talented these people are, they are just some unrighteous people! ”
"Brother Bogui! What are you angry about? A hearty voice came from outside, Liu Xuande arrived, and smiled: "Actually, I've been thinking, Jizhou is so close to Luoyang, why don't you invite Zhang Yang and Lu Bu to fight against Yuan Shao?" ”
"Publicity? This one for Yuan Shao's stinky feet! Gongsun Chan snorted, his face was very unhappy, Liu Bei smiled: "How can you say that?" Uncle Zhang Zhi is a real loyal minister of the Han family, so he will do his best when the princes are begging for Dong, and now Yuan Shao's wolf ambition is known to the world, which is exactly what he hates! ”
"Then who do you say you want to send to convince them?" , Gongsun Chan sighed and asked, Liu Bei pointed to himself: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" Although our brother has some old enmity with Na Lu Bu, but well! There shouldn't be any problem! I just hope to borrow someone from Han Gong! ”
Han Fu said: "What person? As long as Yuan Benchu can be stopped, the Korean Festival will not hesitate! ”
Liu Bei touched his nose and said, "Don't drive in Jizhou, Tian Yuanhao!" After speaking, he looked at Han Fu with blank eyes, Han Fu thought for a while, and said, "Is he really good?" You must know that he is also one of the people who support Yuan Shao! ”
"No problem! Hey! I will move him with my righteousness! Liu Xuande said unashamedly, he has been staring at Tian Feng and frustrated for a long time, but he is frustrated with Yuan Shao, who is interested in Mingyue and wants to go to Yuan Shao's side, but Tian Feng still has some feelings for Han Fu; Peiguo, Pei County, Li Kai rode on a high-headed horse with his eyes closed, motionless, and the heralds beside him kept coming over to report urgently, "Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan is fifty miles according to this!" "The Montenegrin Army Zhang Yan is forty miles according to this! ", "Montenegrin Army Zhang Yan"
"Fifteen miles is enough! You only have two quarters of an hour, win or lose, withdraw it to me immediately! Violators - beheaded! Li Kai suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Guan Hai! Lead the army with 3,000 to take the lead! Break open Liu Dai's barracks! Get them out! ”
"Knock knock", the war finally started, for three days Liu Daijun was plagued by tired soldiers, every day he dealt with the sound of gongs and drums, his eyes were wooden, the sentry guarding the arrow tower even thought that he had hallucinations, and there was a sense of hearing, but in the end he could only shout out that there was an enemy, and there was no sound; Liu Dai's bloodshot eyes were even more tyrannical: "Archer! Are all the generals of the archers fucking dead? Wake them up and splash me with water! Pump them! Run! If you want to live, don't stop! Run! ”
From the initial desire to resist, to the final escape, Liu Dai only took a cup of tea to complete the transformation, it can be seen that he is at least not pedantic, can make decisions on the spot, this is also one of the few wise moves he has made, right?
Liu Dai's army rushed out of the barracks, and was beaten by Guan Hai's three thousand military horses, throwing away his armor! Li Kai closed his eyes indifferently: "Gan Ning, Xu Chu!" The two of you each led 5,000 light horsemen, followed all the way, and chased and killed! When to see the Montenegrin Army, when to stop!
Square! Take the rest of the soldiers and horses forward, gather the baggage, pay attention to maintaining the formation, and see how our luck is, if the luck is good, we can fight with Zhang Yan again, are you right? ”
He has tried his best to restrain the murderous emotions in his heart, but he still hasn't completely restrained it, it seems that capturing and surrendering troops is the best choice now, right?
"No!" , Li Yan arched his hand, and began to dispatch soldiers to divide a force of 3,000 people, collecting dead bodies, armor, and weapons along the way, and the rest of the people kept in formation, slowly pressed, and marched forward rigorously; Li Kai sighed and said, "Do you have to be iron-blooded to be a general?" That's a bit silly! What I'm trying to say is, do you think I'm a little too murderous right now? I always feel like when I close my eyes, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."
"Murderous? Why does the gentleman think that? War, from ancient times to the present, even in the future, it is inevitable that there will be death! If you have to say that you have a thirst for killing, probably people like Xiang Yu and Bai Qi will be called thirsty for killing! ", Li Yan said; This is also the point that I despise them, no matter how much the Central Plains fights, but after all, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, all of them are Han people, in the final analysis, they are their own families, their own families fight their own families, and if they win, what kind of massacre and burial do they have to play, is it interesting? If they had been able to kill two or three hundred thousand Huns, in the early Han Dynasty, when Gaozu died, Empress Dowager Lu would not have been humiliated like that, it was a legendary female surname! Li Kai sighed; I've never heard anything like that! Li Zhengfang shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. is talented!" Great virtue! ”
"Me? Forget it! Actually, that's not what I thought! I'm thinking about this troubled world", Li Kai looked up at the sky: "Compared with the previous Chu and Han battles, this time the situation may be more serious!"
To put it bluntly, in fact, we are just a nation in this world, but we are the most powerful one, far beyond those Huns and Wuhuan people, especially in terms of population base, far more than them! ”
"What is that gentleman worried about?" , Li Yan was a little incomprehensible: "I don't understand what you mean!" ”
"What I mean is that there are already a lot of people who died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the number of Han people is declining sharply, especially the many heroes in the world, and this time the troubled times may be longer than the Chu and Han hegemony!
Thirty or fifty years may not be able to tell the winner! If there is a war, it means that there will be death, and there will be a decline in the population, so you must not be a white starter, and no one else will be allowed to do it, and there is that compared with the turmoil in the Central Plains, many people have migrated to the outside world; The reason why the Central Plains has been able to defeat the alien race outside the country for many years is that our craftsmanship can also be understood as craftsmanship, and years of war may spread these craftsmanship, which is the fundamental harm! I'm afraid that a hundred years later, the problems that the Han Dynasty encountered at the beginning will still appear, and they will come even faster! ”
Li Yan shook his head, touched his head and said with a wry smile: "It's too complicated and too far away, the last general is stupid and can't understand, I hope Mr. will forgive me!" I think only a wise man like Zhong Degong can understand the big truth, right? ”
"Hehehe! It's okay if you don't understand, you just need to remember that when we start a war, try to minimize casualties, which is what I have always advocated, if you can reduce casualties, reduce casualties, if you can not die, you will not die, the injured will be treated immediately, and it is better to be disabled than dead! Isn't it? Li Kai tilted his head and smiled; Be! Li Yan nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that I came out of Song County to follow Yuan Gong, it's not a good thing, please, at least I learned a lot from you, it seems that there are a lot of novel things in front of me, I can't see it, I can't touch it, but I have a feeling, I like this feeling, I think I still have a chance to improve!" ”
"For generals who are not confined to form, are good at flexibility, and develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses according to their own abilities, I once received a book of soldiers from that old guy from Huangfu Song, you can take it and take a look! The old guy is very interesting, and his military book is also very interesting! Li Kai said with a smile; Is this good? Who is Huangfu Song? One of the last four famous generals of the Han Dynasty, the military book he gave to Li Kai must also be a lifelong effort, something that only the heir of the mantle can give, Li Kai said to send it, he has no pressure, Li Yan is a little ashamed; Li Kai pointed at the smoke billowing in front of him with a horsewhip: "Nothing bad!" I'm not who he is, he just gave it to me to see, maybe let me find a better successor for him! You're very good, I think he'll be happy! They're back! It seems that the Montenegrin Army and Liu Dai have converged! ”
Gan Ning rushed over first, suddenly pulled the reins, the war horse man stood up, and fell to the ground with a bang, Gan Ning clenched his fists and said, "Mr. Yu!" The Zhang Yan Department of the Montenegrin Army arrived a little earlier than we expected, and we only pursued the way of fifteen or sixteen miles, but we were stopped by the troops they received! ”
"Yes! Time calculations are full of uncertainties, and no wonder you! Tell me about it! How far are they from here? Li Kai nodded, chased and killed for more than ten miles, Liu Dai must not have a few soldiers, how can a two-legged person outrun a four-legged horse;" Ten miles or so, Zhang Yan was gathering the rout and retreating backwards! Watching him march in a very orderly manner, we also have no chance to take advantage of it! Gan Ning said; Hehe! Zhang Yan, his original surname was Chu, and he was also one of the few capable generals in the Yellow Turban Army! Li Kaimo rubbed his fluffy chin: "Zhengfang led people back to the camp, I will lead the cavalry troops to pursue, try it, see if I can take advantage of a loophole and beat him!" ”
What Gan Ning said was indeed good, Zhang Yan's march was really orderly, unhurried, not hurried, not hurried, the troops were sharpened with swords, the periphery was full of shield soldiers with shields, and the middle were all archers, with bows and arrows, always ready to strike at approaching enemies; Zhang Yan's ability to this formation is really not covered, he used his existing conditions to create a formation that can restrain the cavalry, this restraint does not mean absolute restraint, but that if you want to break through this formation, the cavalry will suffer huge losses; "If I don't have much time, I'll definitely have a good consultation with the person on the other side! But right now, I don't have that much time! Li Mouren said with a smile, and then took out a letter and handed it to the herald, asking him to send it to Cao Mengde, who was far away in Chenliu; Then he took out another letter and handed it to Xu He: "General Xu! You give this letter to Zhang Yan, it can only be Zhang Yan, and you have to hand it over to him in public! That's a big deal! Ladies and gentlemen! Let's wait and see the excitement! ”
This is a ploy that suddenly came to his mind, a very interesting ploy, called - killing people with a knife!
It was dusk, Zhang Yan ordered the troops to build a defensive line at the same time, and began to camp on the mountainside, but the Yuan army, who had been following them for a long time, seemed to have not seen it, and suddenly, a horse galloped and shouted: "The old man Xu He! Ask to see Zhang Qushuai of Montenegro! ”
Zhang Yan heard this shout, and hit the horse out of battle, he was facing east with his back to the west, and he naturally saw clearly that the sun was shining on Xu He's face, so he frowned: "Xu He!" What are you going to do? Why did you defect to Yuan Highway? Have you forgotten the oath we said? ”
The oath of the Yellow Turban Army will never compromise with those wealthy families, and will only kill them all! They are the culprits responsible for their current situation, and they want to get everything back from themselves
Xu He's face froze, and he reluctantly smiled: "This is an opportunity that the little heavenly master exchanged for his life!" We now have our own home, ideals are just ideals, and we can't eat! You also know this, there are not many people who can accept the Yellow Turban Army! Yuan Gong was very good to us, we had clothes to wear, food to eat, a room to sleep in, and land to plant."
"Shut up! Xu He! The road is different! Don't conspire! Ideal! Does a person who has lost his faith still have dignity to live? For the sake of you and me who have been friends for many years! Quickly retreat! Otherwise, you're welcome to blame me! Zhang Yan said angrily; Xu He's unintentional words just aroused the pain in his heart, and also aroused the yearning of the Montenegrin army, Zhang Yan immediately stopped drinking, otherwise, the heart of the Montenegrin army was shaken, and this battle could not be fought; "Hey!" , Xu He smiled bitterly, raised the book in his hand, ran over, turned around and walked away: "I was also ordered to deliver a letter for Mr. Li!" Since you don't want to see me so much, I'll go!" ”
Zhang Yan snorted, opened the book with a gloomy face, his face changed greatly, and sighed: "Xu He harmed me!" ”
The letter on the book is greasy, at first it is a few greetings that have known each other for many years, and then there are some sensitive topics, but when it comes to the key words, they are erased, and there are a few places where the letter is intermittently unclear; "Good means! What a poisonous means! Zhang Yan sighed, who is Liu Dai, of course he knew after contacting, this person was stubborn and suspicious, and he received this letter in public, did he show him? Or don't show him?
If you don't show him, he will have doubts in his heart, and there will definitely be an incident, show him, but how to explain these shortcomings above? In particular, this shortage is not directly smeared with ink, but scraped off with a sharp weapon, and there are faint ink marks; This also means that he Zhang Yan can't explain it clearly anyway, if it is the dirt of the ink, he can ask the soldiers in the army to prove that he showed him the letter when he received it, and he did not have time to change it, so as to prove his innocence, this is the enemy's discord plan, but now that he is so far away from the military formation, he already has time and ability to erase those words
What can I do? Zhang Yan now has a feeling that she can't wash it off even if she jumps into the Yellow River, and the yellow mud falls into the crotch of her pants - it's not but too!
Riding back to the camp, Liu Dai was looking at him with red eyes, his eyes were stiff after not sleeping well for a few days, and he smiled reluctantly: "General Zhang!" I don't know what kind of letter Yuan Jun sent? Can you show me? Hehe! ”
Here it comes! Zhang Yan sighed and sent the letter over, no matter what, I have to explain it, if I can say it clearly, everyone will be happy, Liu Dai took the letter, and saw that Zhang Yan's heart sank to the bottom, and he couldn't explain it clearly!
Liu Dai's eyes rolled and said, "I don't know what these scraped off?" ”
"Lord Governor, this is a discordant ploy used by the enemy!" , Zhang Yan replied, silent, Liu Dai would never believe him, from the murderous aura in Liu Dai's eyes just now, it can be seen that this guy is not a benevolent lord!
"Oh! Ha ha! How can such an inferior divisive scheme separate the relationship between you and me! Come on, come on! Drink with me first! Liu Dai threw the book aside and took Zhang Yan's hand as if it was very intimate, and the two were still allies hand in hand; It's just that on the night of the same day, Liu Dai led people to attack and kill Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan had already prepared, and Liu Dai was shot on the spot! When he was dying, Liu Dai roared angrily: "Zhang Yan - you are also a thief!" The villain is unrighteous! He was destined to die under the axe! ”
Zhang Yan was silent, thief? Yes, the Yellow Turban Army is all thieves, at least in the eyes of you royal relatives and nobles! But are we thieves? Don't want to! We just want the stuff that belongs to us!
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has found their final home and has their own home, what about the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army, do we still want to continue our wandering life?
Liu Dai died, and Zhang Yan was not happy, because the Yuan army had already taken advantage of the chaos to attack, and the army was defeated again and again, and fled back to Yanzhou in embarrassment.
After Liu Dai's death, when the Montenegrin army lost a lot of money, the northern border of Yuzhou was safe for at least the next few months, and Li also dispatched troops and horses, preparing to go south!
This is bound to be a protracted war, a war related to the change of the situation in the world, and a war about victory or defeat! Either you live, you win, you want to prosper, or you die!
Uncle Emperor's Alliance? I! Here it comes!
