Chapter 104: Assassin Liu Fu
Father Zhuge did have some gaffes after hearing the news of the loss of Jiangling. The so-called concern is chaos, which is exactly this truth. Father Zhuge was not only worried about the safety of Liu Bei's group, but also afraid that the Jiangdong group would shake its determination to resist Cao after hearing the news of Liu Bei's fiasco. Even Zhou Yu and Lu Su didn't dare to tell them, and they were in a dilemma.
In fact, Zhuge Daddy is a fan of the authorities, and the matter is far from being as serious as imagined. Young Master Zhuge saw this very clearly. After Father Zhuge tightened his eyebrows and let the servant refill the third cup of tea, Young Master Zhuge put down the military map of Jingzhou in his hand, of course, this goods were bought by Young Master Zhuge from Father Zhuge . took a sip of the tea in front of him, which was already a little cold, and said with a smile: "Dad, losing Jiangling is not necessarily a bad thing!" Maybe this is the key to turning the tide of the situation. Young Master Zhuge smiled slightly, with a mysterious smile on his face.
Zhuge Daddy, who was drinking tea, heard the words and let go of the tea bowl in his hand, Zhuge Daddy knew that his son had a lot of ghost ideas. There are always some whimsical ideas at critical times, such as taking advantage of the characteristics of Cao's army to light the enemy and ambush Cao Ren's troops in Dangyang Canyon. Or take advantage of the cold weather in Jingzhou to splash water for ice to block Cao's army's offensive on Jiangling City, and so on. Zhuge Dad himself didn't realize that his six-year-old son had unknowingly participated in and influenced many important military operations.
"Zhan'er, what do you mean by that?" Father Zhuge looked suspicious.
"Dad, let me tell you......" Young Master Zhuge ran over with his little short legs, and muttered in Daddy Zhuge for a long time. Although I don't know what bad ideas the father and son came up with, Mi Fang, who was sitting on the side, changed from cloud to sunny from Zhuge Father, and then to sunny face, and knew that Liu Bei was fine!
Hefei was a strategic place in the Lianghuai region during the Three Kingdoms period, and was named after the water that flowed through the territory. It has a history of more than 2,000 years since its establishment, and has been the seat of governance of Yangzhou, Hezhou, Nanyuzhou, Luzhou, Deshengjun, Huainan West Road and other local administrative regions in the past dynasties in history. Because of its important strategic location, it has become a must for the soldiers of all dynasties, and is known as "the lip and tooth of the south of the Yangtze River, the right throat of Huai", "the head of the south of the Yangtze River, the throat of the Central Plains". In later history, after the establishment of the Sun Wu regime, there were five large-scale battles with Cao Wei in this area for the battle for Hefei.
Hefei is connected to Qingxu in the north, Wanluo in the east, the sea in the west, and Wuyue in the south. The capture of Hefei was an important strategic step for the Sun and Wu regimes to advance into the Central Plains. For this reason, large armies were used to besiege many times, but because the Wu army, which was born in the south, was not good at attacking the city, the result was a failure.
But what is unexpected is that in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, the emergency strategy proposed by Young Master Zhuge in order to rescue Liu Bei unexpectedly opened the prelude to the intermittent twenty-year battle of Hefei by the Sun Wu Group.
"It's fucking cold this winter!" The defenders of Cao Bing at the head of Hefei City were stamped by the cold. "It's freezing cold and you have to come to defend the city, but it's fucking unlucky!"
"Who says it isn't! It's all our Liu Yuanjun, I have to say that I am afraid that Sun Quan will come to sneak attack, so we must strengthen our vigilance! You said that the prime minister's army was about to reach Chaisang. Sun Quan's guy is too busy to take care of himself, how can he still have the heart to attack our Hefei! You say yes! A younger Cao Bing next to him was also shivering from the cold. Looking at the endless snow outside the city, I really couldn't understand the need to defend the city at this time.
"You two don't talk nonsense! Later, if the Lord Thorn who came to patrol the city hears about it, I will have to skin you! On the side, another Cao soldier dissuaded while fiddling with the fire.
Cao's rule to defend the city was that every other meter away there was another soldier to guard it. But now that it's freezing, naturally no one will stand there stunned and freeze. The soldiers defending the city left one or two to observe the movement outside the city, and the others gathered together and hid behind the bones of the walls around the fire to keep warm. A pot of spirits brought from home was shared among everyone, and spirits were very effective in banishing the cold. The bonfire was not very large, and there were seven or eight Cao soldiers guarding the city around it. At this time, Hefei City was very small, and there were not many soldiers defending the city. Most of the garrison was in the barracks beneath the city, which was very close to the city walls. Once there is a storm, the rescue is also very convenient. So in fact, the so-called city wall defenders only serve as an early warning. The city of Hefei in this period adheres to the norms of square construction in this era, and the city as a whole is an irregular rectangle, with four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the scale is not very large. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hefei was a key place in the north and south, and the old city wall was seriously damaged. Especially in the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan's brother Sun Ce, the general who was captured at that time, ordered his Lujiang Taishou Li Shu to attack and kill Cao Cao's Yangzhou Assassin Yan Xiang, and Meigan, Lei Xu and Chen Lan and other Lujiang people gathered tens of thousands of people to raise troops between Jianghuai and rebellion, and the old city of Hefei was basically destroyed in that **.
Now the main city wall of Hefei was newly built by the local military and civilians led by Liu Fu, the current Yangzhou assassin. Due to limited financial resources, the new city built is relatively small. However, this is more conducive to defense.
"Hehe, come less! General Cao Hong invited guests in the mansion, can our Lord Thorn Shi be willing to come to the city to drink the northwest wind with us? Cao Bing, who was stamped on his feet by the cold, looked disdainful.
"Why not?" A voice rang out behind him.
"How can the rulers have a reason to suffer with us! If you want to talk about our Liu Yuanjun...... Cao Bing, who spoke, hadn't reacted yet, and didn't notice that Cao Bing's face on the side was blue.
"Hello adults!" One of Cao Bing on the side was smarter, for fear that this guy would say something rebellious, so he quickly stood up and said hello to Liu Fu, a smiling assassin who had been standing behind Cao Bing talking.
Hearing this, Cao Bing, who spoke, swallowed back the words on his lips, turned his face, and saw Liu Fu, the assassin, looking at him with a wicked smile. This little heart's liver is trembling! "Plop" knelt down, slapped himself vigorously, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Little damn it! Little damn it! Don't chew on the root of your tongue! Spare your life! Spare your life! ”
Liu Fu, whose name is Yuanying, is a native of Peiguoxiang County (now northwest of Suixi County, Anhui). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he went to Yangzhou to avoid chaos and became a subordinate of Yuan Shu, the warlord of Huainan at that time. Later, he found out that Yuan Shu was greedy and tyrannical, and it was difficult to achieve great things, so he rebelled. In the early years of Jian'an, Cao Cao rose in the Qingxu area, worshiped the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Xuchang, fought against rebels outside, and rectified the dynasty internally, so that many people among the scholars at that time regarded Cao Cao as the minister of the society, and put the hope of reviving the Han dynasty and stabilizing the world on Cao Cao's body. As a clansman of the Liu family with the Han family in mind, Liu Fu has a great impression of this Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who stabilized the country, protected the people, and helped the world. After some hard work, Liu Fu finally succeeded in persuading Yuan Shu's Jiangling generals Qi Ji and Qin Yi to take their troops to join Cao Cao in the early years of Jian'an. Cao Cao was very happy and appointed him as Situ Fupeng.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce eliminated Yan Xiang, the assassin of Yangzhou appointed by Cao Cao, and the situation in the Jianghuai area suddenly deteriorated. The chaotic Jianghuai situation seriously constrained Cao Cao's strategic attempt to conquer Yuan Shao in the north. In order to stabilize Yangzhou and stabilize the rear, Cao Cao appointed Liu Fu, who was quite talented in governing politics, to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Fu has been in Yangzhou for more than 8 years.
Liu Fu is a very talented person, and he has been in office for eight years. It not only gradually restored the ruling order in the northern part of Yangzhou with Hefei as the center, restored and developed production, but also restored the defense system of the main city of Hefei and formed more than 10,000 local county soldiers in Yangzhou. Basically, it built a fairly solid strategic defense fulcrum for Cao Cao in the south, and it can be said that he is a generation of capable ministers. I have to say that the Sun Wu regime was unable to conquer Hefei after repeated Northern Expeditions, which is inseparable from Liu Fu's efforts over the years.
Friends who have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" must still remember that when Cao Mengde was on his southern expedition, he was very interested in writing poems on the side of the river, and he killed an important strategist by the way, and the person mentioned in the book was Liu Fu. Of course, it was a romance, in fact, Liu Fu had been staying in Hefei at that time, and did not follow Cao Cao to participate in the southern expedition, but he did die in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, but he died of illness.
At this time, of course, Liu Jianshi would not blame a soldier who was talking nonsense in private, it would hurt the hearts of the soldiers too much. Liu Fu stepped forward with a smile and helped up Cao Bing, who was kneeling on the ground and constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy, and smiled and comforted: "Please get up quickly!" A little thing is not enough! The soldiers have to defend the country in the cold, and I, Liu Fu, can't share the weal and woe with you, I feel ashamed! Therefore, I specially prepared a small gift to make amends to all the soldiers, come! Come! Come! Look what these are! Liu Fu smiled and pointed behind him.
