Chapter 181: Uncle is here!
Liu Chuang is ready to fight to the death with Cao Cao.
From Ping'an, Gaoyou, Guangling, Hailing...... He wanted to fight with Cao Cao one county after another and fight a tragic war of attrition.
To this end, he made more arrangements.
After ordering Zhang Liao to sit in Ping'an County, Liu Chuang immediately led 2,000 Flying Bear troops to retreat to Gaoyou and began to recruit troops in Gaoyou.
Even if Lao Tzu can't defend Guangling County, he still wants you Cao Cao to be sad.
I don't believe it, I can't even hold on for fifteen days. Great, I turned Guangling into a ruin, see how you Cao Cao cleans up.
It's just that Gaoyou's conscription didn't go well.
On the first day of conscription, not a single person came.
The huge influence of the Chen family in Guangling was gradually shown after Cao Cao's soldiers crossed the Huaishui and stationed troops in Huaiyin. None of the local gentry in Gaoyou were willing to cooperate with Liu Chuang's conscription operation, which also made Liu Chuang's conscription plan a little troublesome.
"Childe, in this situation, you can't be soft-hearted."
After hearing the news, Chen Gong rushed to Gaoyou from Guangling overnight.
He has been in Xuzhou for a long time, and naturally has a deep understanding of the influence of the Chen father and son in Guangling. I think that at the beginning, before Chen Qi tore his face, even if Lu Bu was to the Chen family and his son, he didn't dare to slack off. Not to mention that Guangling is Chen Deng's hometown, in this acre and three points of land, who dares to act without looking at the eyes of Chen's father and son? Years of accumulation of power can never be eliminated in a short period of time.
"Gongtai, what should I do?"
A ruthless look flashed in Chen Gong's eyes, "Gaoyou has three surnames, and the surname Wang is the biggest."
The name of the head of the family surnamed Wang He was Wang He. He has a deep friendship with Chen Yuanlong. Moreover, the Wang family and the Chen family are inextricably linked. Wang He's mother married a member of the Chen clan, so the two families can be said to be closely related. Now that the Chen family has returned to Guangling, Wang He will naturally help Cao Cao. What's more, the Wang family business is very large. The people of Gaoyou don't dare to compete with it, how can anyone come to join the army? ”
The ruthlessness in Chen Gong's eyes did not escape Liu Chuang's eyes.
Presumably he had been humiliated by the Wang family, so he spoke like this...... But it's normal to think about it. Chen Gongyuan is a somewhat paranoid person. If it weren't for this temperament, how could he turn against Cao Cao and finally become Cao Cao's enemy?
Liu Chuang closed his eyes and was silent.
After a while, he said softly: "Since Wang He is like this, there is no need to store in Gaoyou anymore.
I said that even if I was defeated by Cao Cao, I would leave Guangling in ruins. Since someone jumped out to oppose me, I didn't have to have good intentions. Immediately you will take someone to the king's house. I don't care what means you use. Tomorrow it will be dark. I want two thousand soldiers and horses. ”
"Whoa!"
Chen Gong was overjoyed in his heart, turned around and left.
But when he walked to the door, Liu Chuang called him again.
"Public station. You're scheming, but sometimes you're too paranoid. So much so that he was never able to become the real mastermind.
I hope you will be able to cultivate more qi and self-cultivation in the future, and if you can control your paranoid nature, I believe that you will never be inferior to anyone. ”
Chen Gong's body trembled and stopped.
He turned around, but saw that Liu Chuang had already walked into the back hall.
Looking at Liu Chuang's back, Chen Gong suddenly showed a wry smile, bowed to Liu Chuang's back, and then strode away.
That night, Chen Gong led 800 flying bear guards to break into Wang's house and killed more than 200 people from Wang Hemanmen.
Immediately after, he led people to take down the other two families, and there were as many as 2,000 people from the captive family of Gaoyou's three surnames alone.
A bloody crackdown made the people of Gaoyou suddenly wake up.
That's right, although the Chen family has a lot of prestige in Guangling, but now, it is Liu Chuang who lives and dies in the person who is in charge, Gaoyou.
If you don't cooperate with Liu Chuang, you can only become an ownerless and lonely soul. The three surnamed Gaoyou families are bloody examples, which make Gaoyou people tremble.
That night, Chen Gong came to report that Gaoyou had recruited more than 3,000 soldiers.
Liu Chuang was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Xu Sheng to select 1,000 young men, and continued to stay in Gaoyou with the Flying Bear Army, and at the same time ordered Lu Zhu to recruit troops in Guangling.
He personally led the 2,000 young men who had been recruited to Ping'an County to join Zhang Liao.
After receiving reinforcements from Gaoyou, there were nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses in Ping'an County, which also greatly increased the confidence of Liu Chuang and Zhang Liao.
However, Liu Chuang soon discovered that Cao Cao did not immediately attack Ping'an after occupying Huaiyin.
Cao Cao did not move in Ping'an County, but Xu Huang and Li Dian each led a road of soldiers and horses, divided Dongyang and Sheyang counties, and formed an encirclement of Ping'an County and Guangling. However, Cao Cao did not send Chen Deng out, but left Chen Deng and Liu Bei by his side.
It stands to reason that in this case, if Chen Deng is allowed to come forward, it will definitely bring huge trouble to Liu Chuang.
However, Cao Cao did not do this!
Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel strange, and he couldn't understand Cao Cao's intention in doing this.
"Childe, it seems that Cao Cao has become wary of Chen Hanyu and Chen Yuanlong's father and son."
"Oh?"
"Since Cao Cao took Xuzhou, of course, he hopes to control Xuzhou in his hands. But if Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son were there, he wouldn't be able to do that. The roots of the Chen father and son in Xuzhou were too deep, and Cao Cao did not want to increase the prestige of the two of them.
If Guangling had been in Chen Deng's hands, then Cao Cao would definitely reuse Chen Deng.
But now ......"
Chen Gong knew Cao Cao very well. He had assisted Cao Cao, and of course he knew Cao Cao's character, so he quickly thought of the answer.
There seems to be some truth to what is said!
Liu Chuang thought about it and agreed with Chen Gong's words.
Historically, the Chen clan has never lost the right to control Guangling, even if Chen Deng was later transferred to Dongcheng County to be the Taishou, the control of Guangling is still very strong. It was not until later, after Chen Deng's death, that his son was still young and not strong enough to come out to take on important responsibilities, and Chen's control of Guangling was gradually lost, and then Cao Cao took over. Now that Chen Deng has been driven out of Guangling, his control over Guangling is naturally insufficient. Of course, Cao Cao wanted to take this opportunity to weaken Chen Deng's influence in Guangling, so how could he send Chen Deng out?
I figured out why. Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
In terms of means, Cao Cao is indeed powerful......
"But why did he stop attacking?"
Chen Gong also showed a look of doubt, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This." The palace is also not clear. ”
"Well, the longer we delay, the better it will be for us."
Liu Chuang thought about it, so he didn't bother about this matter anymore.
"It's just that Cao Cao is cunning. Beware! ”
"Whoa!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the blink of an eye, it has entered November.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and even if the sun is shining during the day, it still makes people feel inexplicably cold.
The Huaishui entered a period of interruption, and more and more Cao soldiers and horses crossed the Huaishui and constantly put pressure on Guangling. Although Liu Chuang has tried his best to control it, it is still inevitable that local riots will occur. Even if Chen Deng did not come forward, Cao Cao could take the name of the Chen family and disrupt Liu Chuang's deployment.
Liu Chuang also felt a huge pressure!
Because it's in Ping'an County. Desertion has already begun.
Although Chen Gong found it in time. These deserters were executed in extremely bloody ways. But as soon as this opening is opened, it can no longer be blocked.
It's only been five days......
Liu Chuang is almost like a year.
Sun Ce had already finished moving the grain and grass in Jiangdu, so he never paid attention to Liu Chuang again.
He didn't even send an envoy to Guangling. Completely stranger, ready to stand by.
Liu Chuang was stationed in Ping'an County for five days. Determined to abandon the peace and retreat to Gaoyou.
It's not that peace can't be kept, but over time, the people's hearts have been in turmoil, morale is low, and it's hard to continue.
Instead of doing this, it is better to abandon the county seat of Ping'an and test Cao Cao's attitude.
However, when Liu Chuang retreated to Gaoyou, he suddenly got the news that Cao Cao sent a delegation to Gaoyou to meet Liu Chuang......
"Zhong Xuan?"
Liu Chuang looked at the roster of the mission and looked stunned.
He never expected that this delegation would be headed by Zhong Xuan.
"Cao Cao came with my uncle, didn't he want to persuade me to surrender?"
Liu Chuang showed a surprised expression, looked at Chen Gong, and then at Zhang Liao, "Where is the mission today?" ”
"Twenty miles outside the city."
Liu Chuang was also a little unclear at this time, what kind of medicine was sold in Cao Cao's gourd. If it was someone else, Liu Chuang would not bother to pay attention to it. But Zhong Xuan...... In any case, Zhong Miao is Liu Chuang's uncle and his elder, and Liu Chuang can't ignore it.
"In that case, I'll wait out of the city to greet you."
After a moment of silence, Liu Chuang took the case.
"Gongtai, you come with me to greet you."
"Whoa!"
The two walked out of the county government side by side and went straight to the outside of Gaoyou City.
"Gongtai, why did you say that my uncle, why did you come here at this time?"
On the way out of the city to greet him, Liu Chuang couldn't help but ask.
For this uncle, whom he had never met, Liu Chuang's mood was a little complicated. When he was going to return to his hometown Yingchuan, he asked Liu Yong to contact Zhong Xuan, but he didn't even see anyone. If Liu Yong could see Zhong Xuan at that time, maybe it would be a different situation now. Of course, Liu Chuang would not be able to become a prince like he is now, but it is more likely to be trapped in Yingchuan County.
Later, Liu Chuang also knew that Zhong Miao was not deliberately dodging.
At that time, Cao Cao had just welcomed the Son of Heaven and moved the capital to Xu County, which was the time to establish his authority.
As an old minister of the Han family, Zhong Miao also knew the purpose of Cao Cao's relocation of the capital. He didn't want to become Cao Cao's target because of this, although Cao Cao might not really trouble him, but judging from the situation at the time, all the old ministers of the Han family might be cleaned up by Cao Cao.
In fact, didn't Yang Biao later be cleaned up by Cao Cao, and now he lives in seclusion and doesn't ask about the world?
Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Zhong Xuan closing the door at that time.
Later, he also begged Xun Yu to go to Sikong Mansion and begged Cao Cao to spare Liu Chuang.
On the surface, Zhong Miao never seemed to have been in contact with Liu Chuang, and even when Liu Chuang got married, Zhong Miao did not send anyone to congratulate him.
But Liu Chuang knew that Zhong Miao had been secretly helping him.
The reason why he was able to quickly obtain information from the court was that Zhong Xuan secretly passed it on to Liu Chuang in various ways.
Liu Chuang is not a person who doesn't know what to do. In my heart, I have always been grateful to Zhong Xuan. However, Zhong Xuan's sudden arrival in Guangling County at this time was a bit strange after all. Liu Chuang didn't know either. What is Zhong Xuan's intention and intention to come to Gaoyou this time?
Chen Gong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Childe really stumped me this time.
Zhong Yuan is often a famous man in the world and has great intelligence. How can I figure out what he meant? However, at this time, when he appeared in Guangling, he must have Cao Cao's hands and feet. Cao Cao now has the advantage, but he sent Zhong Xuan to come, which explains his situation, and I am afraid it will not be too good.
So I thought that Cao Cao didn't want to delay any longer, and wanted to quickly pacify the war in Xuzhou.
Sending Zhong Xuan here, I'm afraid he wants to negotiate peace with Gongzi? But how exactly is it going to be peaceful? I can't guess for a while. ”
Oh, yes. It's so sudden!
Suddenly, Liu Chuang was unprepared. Not to mention that Chen Gong has never been a person who is impatient.
Rubbing his eyebrows slightly, Liu Chuang immediately smiled: "Ignore him, let's talk about it when we see him." No matter how bad the situation is, can it be worse than it is now? ”
The situation today. It's so bad that it can't be worse.
Liu Chuang didn't believe that there could be a worse result than the current one.
Thinking of this, he no longer struggled. Since Cao Cao sent a messenger, and he sent Zhong Xuan as a messenger, explaining his situation, I am afraid it is not too good. This is naturally good news for Liu Chuang. The rest only depends on Zhong Xuan's ultimate purpose......
Gaoyou, Shili Pavilion.
Liu Chuang joined the delegation outside the official reception pavilion.
However, when he saw the honor guard of the mission, he immediately realized that the situation was not as simple as he imagined.
The guard of honor of the mission is composed entirely according to the guard of honor of the angels.
When Liu Chuang was in Beihai, he greeted an angel once. The angel of the mission at that time was Xun Yan, and the honor guard was almost exactly the same as the honor guard of this team today.
"Childe, this is an angel guard of honor, could it be that Zhong Yuan often came on the orders of the Son of Heaven?"
Liu Chuang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Go up and take a look." ”
He walked quickly out of the pavilion and stood in the middle of the road.
And the chariot of the mission also stopped a hundred steps away from Liu Chuang.
A light car slowly walked out of the convoy and came to Liu Chuang.
On the light car, there stood a middle-aged man dressed in black and covered with a black robe.
Looking at the age, about forty years old, with a noble face and a handsome appearance. Wearing a high crown, thick eyebrows and big eyes...... To paraphrase a phrase commonly used in later generations: the eyebrows are colorful, and the eyes are like stars. A beautiful hair under the chin, tucked away in the mustache. Pedal black boots, steady steps.
He stepped down from the car and saw Liu Chuang, his eyes showed a touch of excitement.
"Ahead, but fat?"
Liu Chuang was stunned and immediately understood the identity of the other party.
According to Xun Chen, Liu Chuang was chubby when he was a child, so relatives and friends often called him with Fat Chuang.
He, is it Zhong Xuan?
Zhong Xuan, the character Yuan Chang, Yingchuan Changshe people.
The young man was filial piety, in addition to Shang Shulang, Yangling Ling, and later successively served as Tingweizheng and Huangmen Shilang.
Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, and Zhong Miao accompanied the emperor. In the third year of the First Peace, that is, in 192 AD, Cao Cao sent an envoy to contact Li Dao Guo Yan, but the two doubted Cao Cao's sincerity and were unwilling to communicate with him. It was Zhong Xuan's persuasion that the two agreed to make friends with Cao Cao, which also made Cao Cao naturally get the position of Dongjun and General Fenwu, and since then he has developed and grown justifiably and become a prince.
Chang'an was in turmoil, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were evil.
Zhong Xuan and Shang Shulang Han Bin rescued the Han Emperor, and even helped the Han Emperor escape from Chang'an.
Historically, Zhong Xuan has been a good calligrapher.
But if you think that Zhong Xuan is a weak scholar like this, you are very wrong.
In the second year of Jian'an, Zhong Xuan, as a servant, in addition to the matter of the lieutenant of the school, also supervised the soldiers and horses in the Guanzhong, which was not something that a scholar could do. And he is indeed a great political achievement in Guanzhong. first persuaded Han Sui and Ma Teng, who were the most powerful in Liangzhou at that time, and then persuaded the two to send their sons into the customs to express their loyalty to Cao Cao. After that, he divided and provoked, and eliminated Li Dao and Guo Yan one by one, and was a hero in Pingjing Pass. This kind of method of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain was admired even by Cao Cao.
In the face of such a strong person, Liu Chuang was better, and Chen Gong was a little weaker than Zhong Xuan in terms of momentum.
There is no way, Zhong Miao is famous and known to everyone in the world.
It is also Yingchuan Zhong's, after the four chiefs......
Liu Chuang's feelings for Zhong Xuan are far less profound than Chen Gong's. To be honest, if it weren't for the rebirth of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chuang would know Zhong Xuan, more because of the later Zhong Hui. However, when he knew that Zhong Miao was his uncle, his understanding of Zhong Xuan deepened a lot.
"I'm Liu Chuang, dare to ask the front, but Uncle Zhong Xuan?"
When Zhong Miao heard Liu Chuang's words, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, walked a few steps quickly and came to Liu Chuang, and hugged him.
Zhong Miao was a head lower than Liu Chuang, so much so that when he hugged Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang had to bend down.
"Meng Yan, I finally met you!
When something happened to your family, I thought it was ...... Fortunately, God has eyes, and I know that the eldest brother can't be extinct, and the Yingchuan Liu family shouldn't have such a bleak ending. How are you doing all these years? I've always wanted to come and see you, but I didn't want to put it off until now. ”
Zhong Xuan's love was slightly excited.
Liu Chuang could generally understand his mood, and after hesitating, he hugged Zhong Xuan.
After a long time, Zhong Miao finally let go of his hand, took Liu Chuang's arm, looked up and down, and suddenly smiled: "Meng Yan is not like Ziqi, but more like the style of King Huainan back then." ”
He is not the first to say that Liu Chuang is not like Liu Tao.
In fact, Xun Chen also said that Liu Chuang's body shape and appearance, in addition to the appearance of Liu Tao between his eyebrows, is more like his ancestor, Liu Chang, the king of Huainan. For this reason, Liu Chuang also specifically checked Liu Chang's information, although there was not much introduction, but he could guess it.
There is a record in the historical records: Liu Chang is the young son of Liu Bang, and he can carry the tripod.
A 'strength can carry the tripod', which can explain clearly why Liu Chuang has natural divine power.
Atavism?
Liu Chuang can't say clearly!
However, hearing Zhong Xuan's words that were almost ridiculous, Liu Chuang was not angry, but had a few cordial feelings.
"My uncle must have worked hard when he came from afar.
I ordered a lodging to be arranged and a banquet to be prepared...... Uncle will follow me into the city first, and if there is anything to say, let's sit down and say, so as not to make it inconvenient here. ”
Zhong Xuan nodded again and again, "That's very good, then let's go into the city and talk." ”
PS: The second is more likely to be later.
I went out to meet my blind date for a while, so ......
Everyone's covered!
