Liu Xie, the little son of heaven, stood on the Vermilion Bird Que, looking into the distance, his body stood straight, although he was still very immature, he had the power of an emperor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Jian Shuo humbly accompanied him behind him, but his tall body was a little rickety.

Of course, now he is only standing like this in front of two people, one is Xiao Tianzi and the other is Queen Song. Now that he was the most powerful eunuch in the palace, he only had to bow to these two people.

But he wasn't happy at all.

As one of the four ministers appointed by the first emperor, in addition to accompanying the Son of Heaven, all his power is the dozens of small yellow doors around the Son of Heaven, and the right to control all the guards in the palace granted to him by the first emperor has been unknowingly dispersed by Lu Zhi. There are Guangluxun in the palace, there are guards in the palace, and there are also General Hu Ben Lang and General Yu Lin Lang, these are the original official system, Lu Zhi does not need to make any changes at all, and he takes away the power given to him by the first emperor.

Everything is logical, and it is so logical that Jian Shuo can't find any reason to oppose it.

But Jian Shuo was unwilling, he wanted to take back the power given to him by the previous emperor, but he was timid and knew that his foundation was not enough. He also knew how big Lu Zhi's role was, and how Lu Zhi, who ranked third among the four ministers appointed by the first emperor, overpowered Dong Chong and Song Feng and monopolized power, and even easily forced Dong Chong to death and drove away the Empress Dowager Dong.

Because he has two disciples with heavy troops on the outside, and the strong support of the Empress Dowager Song inside.

Empress Dowager Song's support for Lu Zhi was so overwhelming that she almost never refuted Lu Zhi's request, even if it was in conflict with the Song family's interests. Jian Shuo saw Song Feng complaining about Lu Zhi's dictatorship in front of the Empress Dowager Song several times, but the Empress Dowager Song never said a word for Song Feng.

She just said that Duke Lu was not only the minister who was left by the first emperor to His Majesty, but also His Majesty's imperial teacher, and his loyalty was beyond doubt. In the current eventful season, Duke Lu dares to do anything, which is exactly what the first emperor valued, and it is also a blessing for His Majesty.

Dong Zhong died. Song Feng is wilted, just a few people, what can Lu Zhi do?

Now, though, the opportunity seems to have come. The general Liu Xiu was seriously injured, his life and death were uncertain, and the left general Gongsun Zan had fought with Yuan Shao in Yi County, and it had been more than three months, and it was difficult to advance an inch. Although he had good news in three days and two ends to the palace, saying that he had been beheaded again, the battle line has always been in Yi County. The failure to go one step further into Jizhou is enough to illustrate the problem. And his increasingly intensive request for money and food is the most important.

Time has dragged on for a long time, and Gongsun Chan has not had enough stamina.

If Liu Xiu dies and Gongsun Chan is defeated, what will happen to Lu Zhi? As soon as this thought came to him, Jian Shuo shuddered. If that really happens, then Lu Zhi will certainly lose power. But the Han is over, and the Yuan family will win the world, and at that time. He is strong, he is stubborn, and he will definitely die.

The general can't die, as long as he doesn't die, the Yuan family won't gain power. As for Gongsun Zhan, it's not good for the Han to die if he dies, but it may not be so bad.

"Jian Shuo, did you say that the general of the Che Cavalry will die?" Xiao Tianzi asked suddenly, he withdrew his gaze and looked down at the avenue outside the palace. Although the Suzaku Que is high. But he couldn't see Yixian or Chengdu, only Situ Mansion and Chu Wangdi.

"The general is still young and in good health, probably not." Jian Shuo said hesitantly.

"Some people say that if he is destined to return, he will naturally turn evil into good fortune. Killed. Xiao Tianzi suddenly frowned and looked into the distance, "I don't want him to die, but if he is destined to return, then what am I?" ”

Jian Shuo was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, those are all rumors, they are just to spread rumors and separate His Majesty and the Che Cavalry General." If the general of the chariot cavalry is really destined to return, how can he be injured one after another? ”

"But he was so badly injured and didn't die, isn't it the destiny of heaven?"

Jian Shuo was speechless. Thinking about it, Liu Xiu seems to have a hard life, the last battle of Sunset Plain, he was slapped on the head by Tanshi Huai, and he was in a coma for two days, and finally woke up, this time it was even more outrageous, he didn't wake up for a few months, but he woke up again. Although he is not out of danger yet, he is awake after all.

"He wants Chengdu, he not only wants Chengdu, but also Yizhou." Xiao Tianzi bit his lip vigorously: "He wants to stand side by side with me." ”

Jian Shuo closed his mouth tightly. He knew about this, and after Liu Yuanqi, the king of Chu, returned from Chang'an, he wrote to the Son of Heaven, hoping to migrate to the king of Shu and govern Chengdu. Of course, this matter was not passed, and even the Son of Heaven did not speak, so it was vetoed by Situ Luzhi.

But Jian Shuo knew that this incident had a great impact on Xiao Tianzi, because Liu Yuanqi's intention of this request was too obvious.

He didn't know how to persuade Xiao Tianzi, and he even complained a little about Liu Xiu. He didn't think it was Liu Xiu's idea, maybe it was Liu Yuanqi, the king of Chu, his own idea? Liu Xiu is about to die, while he is not dead, and the majesty is still there, Liu Yuanqi wants Yizhou, wants to divide Bashu, and pockets the richest piece of the territory controlled by Liu Xiu. As soon as Liu Xiu died, he closed himself up, and now there are many things in the world, whether it is the imperial court or the Yuan family, they have no strength to attack Yizhou.

Is Liu Xiu going to die? Jian Shuo suddenly felt a little sad, feeling sad that he was about to lose a good friend.

"Your Majesty, the general of the Che Cavalry may be sick and confused, or maybe he ...... It's someone else's idea. Jian Shuo lowered his voice and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't make judgments lightly, so as not to cause misunderstandings." ”

"I know that I am the Son of Heaven and cannot be gullible in believing people's words." Xiao Tianzi nodded: "The Queen Mother also said to me, I am still young, I don't know what to do, and I can't be in charge until I grow up." Xiao Tianzi sighed very oldly: "But I am only ten years old this year, and it will take at least five years to become a pro-government." ”

"Five years is a long time, and it's a short time. Your Majesty, you better go down and study, it's been out for a while. ”

Xiao Tianzi nodded, reluctantly glanced at the Xiongcheng outside, and muttered: "This is all mine, it was left to me by my ancestors, and no one can rob it." ”

Jian Shuo felt a chill surging from the bottom of his heart, he glanced at the little Tianzi in front of him in surprise, and suddenly felt that he had grown up a lot.

……

In Yi County, Yuan Shao took Yuan Shang's hand and slowly turned around in the big tent, Guo Tu stood aside, his eyes showing irrepressible surprise. In the past few days, he has brought good news to Yuan Shao one after another, first the secret agents arranged on the plank road sent back the news, and they saw with their own eyes that Liu Xiu was seriously injured. Even walking on the plank road is by car, and when he enters the door, he is carried in by someone, and the house where he lived has not been able to dissipate the smell of medicine for three days. Immediately after that, news came from Chengdu. The Heavenly Master Dao Master and his wife summoned the families to raise funds and said that they wanted to refine a kind of pill, although she couldn't say what this pill was for, but the secret agent still inquired about it, this kind of very precious pill that needed a lot of rare medicine was for Liu Xiu's treatment.

If you want alchemy to cure diseases, that can only explain one problem. Liu Xiu only had a glimmer of life left, and all his hope was on this pill. Not to mention whether it can be refined, at least for a period of time, Liu Xiu will not be able to recover.

For Yuan Shao, this is a great opportunity.

The signs have been revealed, Beilang will Zhao Yun and the yellow turban Zhang Yan's recent offensive has been significantly weakened, they are stuck in the Zhending area, mainly defensive. Rarely take the initiative.

Without their harassment on the flanks, Yuan Shao could finally concentrate on dealing with Gongsun Zhan. Yuan Shao has obviously been silent a lot in the past two days, but Guo Tu knows. Yuan Shao was not nervous, but brewing, brewing a plan to change the situation of the battle.

Jizhou is attacked on three sides, but it is actually very tight. Especially this time Gongsun Zhan's aggressive attack, Yuan Shao often couldn't sleep at night. Yes, Jizhou is very strong, there are currently 100,000 standing troops, and there are still 70,000 or 80,000 garrisons in various counties and counties, and if necessary, Jizhou people can temporarily organize another 100,000 people. But you know. Jizhou people are not working in vain, every time they pay, they must get certain benefits, whether it is now or in the future.

The longer the war dragged on, the more benefits Jizhou's heroes reaped. And those Ruying people who fought on the front line did not get anything, because the war did not progress, because the fruits of victory were first divided by the Jizhou people, and there was not much left for them.

"Go play by yourself, Aung is going to do something." Yuan Shao patted Yuan Shang's little buttocks lovingly, and watched with a smile as Yuan Shang twisted his little butt and ran out of the big tent, then straightened up, walked back to the desk quickly, poured himself a glass of wine, and poured another glass for Guo Tu. "Gongzhi, taste, just from the Western Regions." He smiled, "That Zhang He is really a capable general, in three or four years, he has actually pacified the Western Regions, and he can be compared with Ban Ding." ”

Guo Tu took a sip of wine and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this person does have some ability." However, he is from Hejian, and now Hejian is owned by the general, and he conquered the Western Regions, and he will also be a general in the future. ”

"Hahaha......" Yuan Shao laughed, gently swaying the glass wine, looking at the blood-red wine rippling in the cup, he narrowed his eyes, and a touch of blood wandered back and forth in his eyes: "But before that, we have to take Luoyang first." ”

"Before taking Luoyang, you must first kill Gongsun Zhan." Guo Tu picked up and said: "Kill Gongsun Zan and take over Youzhou, who else in the world can stop the general's blade?" ”

Yuan Shao shook his body slowly, slapped his hand on his thigh again and again, and suddenly said: "Gongsun Zhan is just a horseman, not enough to be a horse." I'm worried about Zhao Yun. Now that Zhao Yun is uncertain, I can't let go of this opportunity. Gongzhi, you say, where is it better for us to clean up Gongsun Zhan? ”

Guo Tu's eyes flashed, since Yuan Shao asked this sentence, it means that he does not plan to stalemate with Gongsun Chan anymore. He thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Gongsun Zhan's cavalry is brave, if you want to defeat him at the smallest cost, of course, you must lead him to a place that is not conducive to the cavalry." According to the minister, the area around Nishizawa is more suitable, I don't know what the general thinks? ”

Yuan Shao glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth grinned: "The public rule, as the so-called, heroes see the same thing." ”

Guo Tu smiled slightly and said no more. said too much, but Yuan Shao didn't like it. He has been by Yuan Shao's side for many years and knows Yuan Shao's character too well. You can't be too stupid to provoke him, but you can't be too smart, too smart to be jealous of him.

Xize is Baiyangdian, also known as Baiyangdian, is located in the south of Yixian a swampy area, between the water and the water, and is the place where many rivers such as Lushui and Xushui are injected into the water, the waterway is vertical and horizontal, the grass and trees are thick, and it is very unfavorable to the cavalry. And the reason why Gongsun Chan has been able to hold on until now is because of his cavalry bravery. Yuan Shao's troops were superior, but the number of cavalry was insufficient, his army of 50,000 had only 5,000 cavalry, while Gongsun Zhan's 30,000 army had 15,000 fine cavalry.

In the plains, Gongsun Chan had the upper hand, but if he went to the Xize area, the situation would be completely different.

The problem now is how to lure Gongsun Chan to Xize, Gongsun Chan is not a stupid person, he is also very familiar with the terrain in this area, and it is impossible for Yuan Shao to easily mobilize him.

Yuan Shao convened the generals to discuss the matter, and the topic was how to mobilize Gongsun Zan and lead him to Xize. Everyone discussed for a while, and finally said that it was very simple, Shanggu Taishou Song Guo and Daijun Taishou and Gongsun Chan sent troops together, they were attacking the mountain country, we retreated the defense line of the mountain country, pretended to be invincible, and then the army galloped west to help. Gongsun Chan will inevitably go to the rescue, and his nearest road is in Nishizawa North, passing through Katsuragi. There is Nishizawa in the south of Katsuri and mountains in the north, so we set up an ambush in Katsurag, and then cut off Gongsun Chan's retreat, and Gongsun Chan became a turtle in an urn, and it was difficult to fly with wings.

Yuan Shao was very satisfied, and immediately made arrangements, ordering Yan Liang in the mountain to feint backwards, when Song Guo and others were pursuing, he led 15,000 cavalry to gallop to help, straight into Puyin, cut off Song Guo's retreat, Yan Liang turned back to fight again, more than 20,000 troops attacked from the north and south, and Song Guo was embarrassed. Song Guo was helpless and immediately sent someone to ask Gongsun Chan for help. Gongsun Zan was shocked when he heard the news, and ordered Guan Jing to lead 10,000 foot soldiers to monitor Yi County, and personally led 20,000 foot cavalry to aid Song Guo.

After Yuan Shao got the news, he immediately went into battle in person, and rushed and attacked with the guards and horses, and Yan Liang did not dare to slack off, and led the guards battalion to attack Song Guo's army. The two sides fought fiercely for two hours, and Yan Liang successfully broke through Song Guo's army, killed Song Guo in battle, and joined forces with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao immediately regrouped his army and rushed to Gecheng as fast as he could, blocking Gongsun Zhan's way.

Gongsun Zhan received the news that Song Guo had been defeated, and knew that the big thing was not good, so he immediately prepared to retreat, but unfortunately it was too late. As soon as he set out, he left 5,000 people to defend Yi County, and the remaining 30,000 foot soldiers set out the whole army to set up a large defensive formation, cutting off Gongsun Zhan's retreat, and blocking Gongsun Chan to death on the position between Xize and Dashan about ten miles long and about two or three miles wide.

There are Xize in the south and mountains in the north, Gongsun Zan knew that he had been fooled, but he made up his mind, sending people to Yi County for help on the one hand, and rectifying the people on the other, preparing to fight with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao didn't dare to slack off, although he successfully surrounded Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Zhan was not easy to mess with, his 20,000 steps were elite, especially his 3,000 white horses were more ferocious than Cao Cao's 10,000 tigers and leopards, Gongsun Chan had been riding for many years, and his command ability was far above Cao Ren.

Yuan Shao ordered that Fu Zhi hold his position to the death, as long as Gongsun Zhan was not allowed to escape, and he would be the main attacker. He knew that the victory or defeat this time was likely to be related to his life and death, so he ordered Yan Liang to command the infantry and personally lead the cavalry, and regain the courage when he followed Liu Xiu in the northern Xinjiang campaign, and wanted to fight Gongsun Zhan.
