Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It was Xun who went from Hedong to Hongnong, and Hongnong arrived in Henan, and met with Zhong Xuan, the captain of Sili, in Luoyang. Zhong Xuan told him that when the war in Hanoi was over, Cao Cao intended to move the Sili School Governor's Office to Chang'an, and Zhong Xuan would take charge of the affairs of Guanzhong.

Leaving Luoyang, from Yique Sanguan to Luyang, straight down to Wanxian. On the way, the guide pointed out: "The east is Bowangye." ”

Hearing this, Shi Xun nodded slightly-it's a pity that he didn't have a chance to rely on Gu Zhan...... Once a possible battlefield of the day after tomorrow.

He remembered the historical incident of "Bowang Yaotun". When Cao Cao's troops attacked Yuan Shang and settled in Hebei, Liu Biao made Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xinye, invade the north, and went directly to Ye County at the junction of Nanyang and Yingchuan. Liu Bei burned the tun and retreated, and Xiahoudun chased after him from behind, and was defeated by the ambush soldiers - this is the prototype of the section of "The First Use of Soldiers by the Bowangpo Military Division" in the romance.

It can be seen that Liu Biao did not completely use troops to the north during the war between Yuan and Cao, and sent Liu Bei out of Ye, perhaps the purpose was to take advantage of Cao Cao's stumbling in Hebei to attack Xu Du and hold Emperor Xian hostage. However, he lacked the courage to make a desperate bet, and although he won at Bowang, considering that Cao Cao was prepared, he hastily ordered the army to retreat.

However, it is difficult to say, because Liu Bei has only reached Yexian County farthest, and he is still in Jingzhou, so he has not crossed the line after all. After Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao, he successively participated in the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Yecheng, and finally died of illness on the way to conquer Wuhuan in Liaoxi. Zhang Xiu went, Wancheng was likely to fall back into the hands of Liu Biao, so Liu Bei could spare Wancheng and enter Yexian and Bowang in the northeast of Wancheng. And later Cao Cao's southern expedition, the history books also said: "The first lord Tunfan, I didn't know that Cao Gong died, and when I heard it, I heard about it, so I went to the people." "Liu Bei can go to Wancheng to rest.

Therefore, it is also possible that Liu Biao has always only wanted to sit in the entire Jingzhou, and sent Liu Bei to Yexian just to defend the border. Whoever wants to rebel against Cao Cao's suspicions, so that Xiahoudun and Li Dian can not blame Cao Cao, Yexian is too close to Xudu, and it can be reached in more than a day by light horse.

However, if Liu Biao is purely defensive and has no enterprising spirit, he really didn't move much in the north. Why did the south send Lai Gong and others deep into Jiaozhou? The human heart is really complicated and difficult to fathom......

I really can't figure out whether Liu Bei Tun Xinye and Wen Tun Ping sent Liu Bei Tun Xinye and Wen Tun Ping to insert a knife in Cao Cao's back this timeline. In response to Yuan Shao, or is it simply to guard against Zhang Xiu?

Contemplating all the way, not getting the essentials, coming to Wancheng in a few days, Zhang Xiu went out of the city to greet him. The two were old acquaintances, pretending to hold hands and say goodbye to each other, and then rode into the city together. It's Hoon who knows. Cao Bao, the daring old man, has not yet arrived - he is a light horseman, Cao Bao is going to lead the soldiers, with the army organization of these years, the long march and have to make preparations for several days.

Zhang Xiu held a banquet in the county government to entertain Shixun. After three rounds of drinking, Shixun inquired about the current situation in Nanyang County, took the opportunity to cast his skills, and began to talk again. Zhang Xiu is not a thoughtful person, and his tone is not tight enough. He divided five by two, and he brought out the truth.

It turned out that Zhang Xiutun was stationed in Wancheng, and the actual scope of zhì was only half of Nanyang County, the north and east reached the county boundary, the west only reached Xixian County, and the south only reached Yuyang - just north of Xinye. Although he was named the county guard of Nanyang by the imperial court, half of the counties and townships still obeyed Liu Biao's instructions. He didn't assign it at all. Back then, it was Xun Xian's plan to let him be guarded, and the original intention was to make him quarrel with Liu Biao, and even merge with him. However, because Cao Cao successively conquered Huainan, Dingguanzhong, and Yuan Shao, it was impossible to send troops to support him, so Zhang Xiu was not stupid, and he did not dare to fight with Liu Biao. The two sides also revolve around the two or three county towns at the junction, and occasionally there are skirmishes.

Last year, there was a big drought in Nanyang, and the harvest was very small, Zhang Xiu once asked Cao Cao for food, but unfortunately the Cao family was not rich, and he was preparing to fight with Yuan Shao, so he only symbolically sent him no 5,000 stone of grain. This summer, Zhang Xiujun almost ran out of cooking, hoping for a good harvest in the autumn, but who would have thought that "the ship leaked and encountered the head wind", and a series of heavy rains in September delayed the wheat harvest, and the income was even worse than last year.

Zhang Xiu had no choice, he had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, relying on half of Nanyang County, and he couldn't eat much, not to mention the famine? So he assigned the generals to ask for grain from Xinye, Chaoyang, Huyang and other counties under Liu Biaokong, but the county magistrate of Huyang refused to obey his orders, and was tied up by the arrogant soldiers of the Zhang family and whipped him fiercely.

Liu Biao was furious when he heard the news, and wrote to reprimand Zhang Xiu, who knew that he was at a loss, so he quickly replied to apologize - apologized but apologized, and resolutely refused to return the food he had robbed. It happened that Liu Bei was defeated from Huainan and led the remnants of the army to vote, so Liu Biao simply asked Liu Bei to guard Nanyang County and sent him to garrison Xinye to grab territory with Zhang Xiu. Fearing that Liu Bei was not Zhang Xiu's opponent, he also ordered Zhangling County Shouwen to hire troops to enter the Ping clan to threaten Zhang Xiu's flank.

It was Xun who found out about these situations, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - it turned out that it was not Liu Biao who took the initiative to beat Zhang Xiu, thus threatening the rear of the Cao family, but Zhang Xiu recruited others first and forced Liu Jingsheng to be anxious. Of course, although Qu is in Zhang Xiu, he can't ignore it, after all, he is a vassal of the Cao family, protecting the southern line for Cao Cao, if he is defeated by Liu Bei, then Xu Du will be threatened by Yanzhòng.

It doesn't matter if you change someone else, if Liu Bei stays in Nanyang, how can the Cao family rest assured? In the eyes of others, Liu Bei left Yuan Shao's camp and voted for Liu Biao, who knows if he will be in Liu Ying's heart in Yuan, and then help Yuan Shao fight with Cao Cao; In Shi Xun's view, Liu Xuande is the master who will shine when he gets a little sunshine, which will make him gain a firm foothold in Nanyang, and he will eventually be in trouble!

No, I have to write to warn Cao Cao not to underestimate that the weaving mat seller in Zhuojun City! Zhang Xiu's combat power is mediocre, not the "Northland Gun King" in the later folk commentary, my father-in-law Cao Bao has two more knives, relying on the two of them, he may not be able to pass the test, Zhang. In the original history, Xiahoudun and Li Dian were defeated by Liu Bei, basically as soon as Cao Cao arrived, Liu Bei was stupid, and if he changed the general, Liu Bei would win.

Just thinking about it like this, I heard Zhang Xiu say: "Hongfu has another cup, embroidery has something to ask for." ”

Shi Xun smiled and raised his glass, saluted Zhang Xiuyao, drank it in two sips, and then replied: "The prince has an order, Xun An dares to disobey?" The words he had just turned around and embroidered were inevitably mixed with some insincere remarks to destroy the other party's defense. I didn't screw it at this time, and the one who answered the conversation was inevitably a little full. As soon as the words came out, he thought to himself, didn't he want me to stay and help him defend against Liu Bei? No, I still have the king's destiny...... Besides, if you can say that Zhang Xian is against Liu. Wouldn't that help you more than confronting Liu Bei head-on?

I heard Zhang Xiuyan say: "I know Cao...... The court has something to do in the north, and if there is another dispute in Nanyang, it will also be unfavorable to the court, so a banquet was held to invite Liu Xuande to clarify the misunderstanding. It's good to make an appointment. Hongfu has arrived in Wancheng, and he may go with him to solve it for the two families? ”

Ah, Zhang Xiu wanted to negotiate with Liu Bei, and it happened that I came to Wancheng, so I wanted to pull me up. Well, you're in good luck, dude. If there is Jia Wenhe by his side, he will definitely not be afraid of war, and he will not be afraid of peace, but now there is no Jia Xu, and his subordinates are only a big boss from Kansai, I am afraid that Liu Bei will not be able to say it at the negotiation table, and God is fortunate to send me such a masterpiece with unparalleled tongues.

So, do you want to promise Zhang Xiu? Do you want to go with him? It's Xun Yi pondering. Left and right, but the banquet invited, or Zhang Xiu proposed it first, not the Hongmen banquet set up by the other party, what am I afraid of? Besides, I also want to meet Liu Bei and ask him what his ambitions are.

In the original history, it was actually quite strange that Liu Bei went from the defeat of Runan to the retreat of Changsaka. For seven years before and after, he has been nesting in Xinye County, and he doesn't seem to have expanded his power at all. Is he a momentary stumbling, and the hero is short of breath? is still secretly buying people's hearts. Just wait for Liu Biao to swallow his breath, so that he can swallow all of Jingzhou? If it weren't for Liu Cong succeeding to the throne and then descending to Cao, it would really not be able to keep it.

So it was Xun who wanted to meet Liu Bei and find out what he really thought. Everyone's life has a trough, and when you enter the trough, it will inevitably be decadent, if you are not a hero, it is really not easy to get out, and even if you are a heroic person like Liu Bei, it is difficult to say whether it will be depressed on this timeline...... Although it's a pity, for the sake of the overall situation of the world, it is not easy for Shixun to accept it emotionally, but intellectually he very much hopes to be able to do so.

Besides, there is no one around Liu Bei at this time, only Jian Yong, who has two knives and two knives...... Oh, by the way, and his own teacher, Sun Qian, he didn't even get any money from the Elk brothers. But if you take advantage of your tongue, why should you be afraid of it?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile at Zhang Xiu: "Sincerity is like respecting life." ”

The next day, Gan's incense car also entered Wancheng. Cao Miao was finally willing to let Gan's family come to Shixun's side, he was reluctant to bombard him back, and said in his heart that Huang Zhu and Huang Zu had spoken in advance, and he went to Changsha from Nanyang via Jiangxia, and there might not be any danger on the way - besides, the four hundred parts were brought with him, and Guo Huai, Sun Zi and others followed, and the small wind and waves passed smoothly. Therefore, after receiving the news in Anyi, he asked Gan to change his route to the south and come to Wancheng to meet him.

It's a pity that he met with Gan, and before he could tell each other about his heartfelt songs—let alone do anything else—he was forced to follow Zhang Xiu to meet Liu Bei. The venue of the banquet was arranged in a Deng family courtyard in the north of Xinye City - the Deng family was a member of the Nanyang Xian clan, and Deng Xi was engaged in Liu Biao in the clan, and he resigned angrily after being rejected and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. is not only a former official of the Liu family, but also biased towards the imperial court, and he is the middleman, which is very suitable.

Both sides brought their subordinates and a hundred cavalrymen, that is, they met outside the village and greeted each other in a pretended manner. Liu Bei was quite surprised that Shixun suddenly appeared, and greeted him repeatedly: "Since Xuzhou, it has been four years, and it has been four years, and the gentleman's demeanor is better than in the past, and he is full of admiration." ”

Shi Xun hurriedly nagged a few clichés, and then turned his head to pay homage to Sun Gan again, Sun Gan hurriedly avoided it: "Hongfu has been taught by Mr. Kangcheng today, and Qian'an dares to look at it as a disciple again?" With both hands in his hands, Shixun also got down the slope and stood up. As soon as he glanced at it, he saw that there were two people standing behind Liu Bei, one knew him, Jian Yong Jian Xianhe, and the other was in his thirties, wearing a Confucian crown belt, but his shoulders were broad and heroic, not like ordinary scholars - "Dare to ask this gentleman ......"

Liu Bei raised his hand and made a move: "The subordinate of this preparation, Yingchuan Xu Yuanzhiye." Yuan Zhi, you can come to meet the waiter. ”

Ah, Liu Bei is moving so fast, this has already fished Xu Shu into his hands!
