The forty-ninth episode, Nanguanghua sent troops to the Southern Barbarians, and Cao Mengde pacified Hebei (40

Naturally, the vulture bone did not surrender, but was transformed into an invincible golden corpse by Nan Ye and was controlled by Nan Ye. And those vine armor soldiers were dressed as tall barbarian soldiers, so they didn't answer with Meng Huo and the others, for fear of revealing their flaws.

Of course, Meng Shu didn't know that there was such an invincible golden corpse in the world, and he couldn't imagine that the 30,000 invulnerable vine armor army would die overnight, but when the vulture bone really took refuge in Nan Ye, this made Meng Shu couldn't help but be disheartened. He looked at the vulture bone, and then at Nan Ye, he really couldn't think of any way to compete with Nan Ye, who had obtained the vine armor army, so he could only bow his head and say: "Although I am a foreign barbarian, I also know etiquette, righteousness and shame." I have been captured seven times, which has not been seen since ancient times, and I am willing to surrender! ”

Hearing this, Nan Ye nodded and asked Meng You and King Duosi, "Are you two willing to surrender?" ”

Meng You and Duo Si saw that Meng Yu had surrendered and had anything to say, so they naturally nodded and said, "I'm willing to surrender!" ”

Seeing that they finally had no follow-up moves, Nan Ye's face sank and said, "If you are still unwilling to surrender after being captured seven times, push them out and behead them!" ”

Meng Shu and the three of them were shocked when they heard this, and their eyes widened and said, "I'm waiting for the will!" I'm waiting for my wish to fall! ”

Nan Ye snorted coldly and said, "Hmph~ Why are you waiting for the morning?" At this time, it is too late! Don't say that I haven't given you a chance, it's you who have waited a few times to oppose me. If you hadn't been exhausted, I'm afraid you would have to fight with me, how could you really bring me down? Even if you wait for your wish to surrender now, you will rebel in the future, how can I tolerate shameless villains like you! Come on, push it out and cut it! ”

Meng Huo and the three of them thought that as long as they surrendered, they could live, but who thought that they would be killed because of surrender, and scolded in their mouths: "Wang Hua villain, treachery, you can't die well!" ”

Nan Ye heard this and said angrily: "How many times have you waited for your words to be untrustworthy, and you have said that you will end up today if you don't surrender, and you dare to say that I have no faith?" Shut up and die! ”

Meng Shu and the three were speechless and were escorted out and beheaded by a group of guards. Later, Nan Ye controlled the vulture bones to Meng Huo's camp, and only said that he would entertain Meng Huo and the three of them to have a banquet in the camp, and let the five thousand barbarians set up camp by themselves and bury the pot to make food.

All the barbarians knew the tall vulture, and they did not suspect him, so they fetched water and cooked nearby. As a result, the 5,000 barbarian soldiers were also poisoned by the soft spring, and the whole battalion died in half a day. It's not that Nan Ye is ruthless, it's really that these barbarians are loyal to Meng Huo, and it's a disaster to keep them. As for those who first got from Meng Huo, then descended to Nan Ye, and then helped Meng Huo to ask for the wall grass on both sides, Nan Ye also had to teach them a lesson, so that they would know that there was no good end for eating inside and out.

After Nan Ye packed up Meng Huo's soldiers and horses, he rested in Yinkengdong for three days, and then returned to Zhurongdong with his army to report the victory. As everyone knows, when he captured Meng Shu seven times, the situation in the world changed again.

Since Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to Hebei to vote for Liu Bei, Liu Bei has Jian Yong and Sun Qian, and Wu Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have greatly increased their strength. Xin Ping gradually couldn't control it, so he came up with a plan to send Liu Bei and others to Bingzhou to garrison, saying that he was guarding against Cao Cao, but in fact he was afraid that Liu Bei would divide power. And because Xun Chen was Xun Yu and the Xun You people were also suspicious of Xin Ping, Xun Chen and Liu Bei were sent to Bingzhou together.

Xun Chen had already seen that the Yuan family was not the master, and he had already intended to leave. Xin Ping sent him to Liu Bei, which was exactly what he wanted. Because Xun Chen got along with Liu Bei for many days, he found that Liu Bei was a corporal who was kind to the soldiers and the people, and was a virtuous lord, so he decided to assist Liu Bei and become his hegemon.

Some people may ask, since Xun Chen is a member of the Xun clan, why didn't he assist Cao Cao with Xun Yu and Xun Yu? In fact, this is the wisdom of the family. These big families understand a truth, that is, they don't put their eggs in the same basket. Previously, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao competed with Cao Cao to win, and Xun Yu and Xun Yu naturally rose to the top, which could ensure the prosperity of the Xun family. In the same way, it can be seen that if Yuan Shao defeats Cao Cao, Xun Chen can also keep the foundation of the Xun family.

Before the battle of Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoguandu, apart from Nan Ye, who could have predicted who would win and who would lose on both sides? The Xun family's approach is to bet on both sides, and whoever wins can keep the interests of the family, making the Xun family prosperous for a long time. This is the way for the family to protect themselves in troubled times.

Among the Three Kingdoms, if the family that is best at self-preservation and betting is the Zhuge family, "The World Says New Words" has clouds: Zhuge Jin, Brother Liang, and from the younger brother's birthday, and famous, each in a country. At that time, he thought that "Shu got its dragon, Wu got its tiger, and Wei got its dog". What this means is that Zhuge Jin works in Eastern Wu, Zhuge Liang works in Shu Han, and Zhuge Dan works in Cao Wei, all of which have to be reused. The "dog" here is not ironic, but refers to a meritorious general, because Zhuge was as famous as Xiahou Xuan in Cao Wei, and he was the general of the Eastern Expedition, although his achievements were slightly inferior to Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, but his status was not low. This shows that the wisdom of the family cannot be underestimated.

Liu Bei's command already lacked advisers, and with Xun Chen's help, he was naturally like a fish in water, and he respected Xun Chen. Just when Liu Bei was complete in civil and military affairs and wanted to show his strength in Bingzhou, Cao Cao suddenly overwhelmed the border with a large army and caught Liu Bei off guard.

When Cao Cao returned from Yecheng, he did not give up competing with Yuan Mai, but wanted to capture the old and indulge in the plan, waiting for Yuan's internal disagreement. When he learned that Liu Bei was driven to the state, Cao Cao knew that the time had come, and he sent an army of 100,000 troops to the state.

Although Liu Bei's subordinates are related, Zhang Zhiyong, and Xun Chen are conspiring, how can the foundation be shallow and the soldiers are not more than 10,000. Even if he was recruited temporarily, there were no soldiers to fight, who let Yuan Shao have already consumed the soldiers and horses of the four states before. Seeing that Cao Cao's army was crushed all the way and plundered the counties and counties, Liu Bei could only ask Yuan Mai of Yecheng for help.

The young Yuan Mai is just a puppet of Xin Ping, how can he call the shots? And Xin Ping was jealous of Liu Bei, how could he help? So he didn't send a soldier or a general, he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wait for Liu Bei and Cao Cao to lose both, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

If Liu Bei had been operating in Bingzhou for several years, he might really have the strength to fight Cao Cao. However, at this time, it is not Cao Cao's opponent, even if Guan and Zhang Erjiang are all 10,000 enemies, and they can really top 10,000 horses, then Liu Bei only has 30,000 soldiers, how can he be the opponent of Cao Cao's 100,000 army?

Facing the menacing Cao Jun, Liu Bei was about to cry. He felt that he was so unlucky, and every time his career improved slightly, he would be beaten back to his original shape. This is true in Xuzhou, and it is still the same in Bingzhou. Liu Bei really had the heart to fight Cao Cao to the death, so as not to suffer the pain of gaining and losing.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both listened to Liu Bei, and of course they had no opinion on Liu Bei's battle. As the so-called loyal ministers are not afraid of death, soldiers will inevitably die in front of the battle, and these two fierce generals are really not afraid of Cao Bing. But having courage does not mean that you can achieve victory, Xun Chen knew that if there was no Yuan Mai rescue, Liu Bei would lose this battle, so he persuaded: "Cao's army is strong, we are outnumbered, we can't win the battle, there are no reinforcements, we can't compete with it, it's better to make plans early." ”

How could Liu Bei not know that what Xun Chen said was true, he was only angry for a while if he wanted to do his best, and after calming down, he still felt that he was not worried about leaving Qingshan without firewood. So he asked: "According to your friends' opinion, is it okay for me to return to Yecheng?" ”

Xun Chen shook his head and said, "No!" The number of Xin evaluators is too small to accommodate people. If the lord goes away without a fight, he will blame the lord for the loss of the state. At that time, the lord was in danger! ”

Zhang Fei said angrily on the side: "How dare a thief do this? If he doesn't send troops to help him lose the state, he dares to blame his brother for not succeeding? ”

Liu Bei scolded: "Yi Demo wants to say more, and listen to your friends' plans." ”

Xun Chen continued: "Even if Xin Ping Rong wins the lord's father, and the state is lost, Youzhou is in danger!" Cao Cao only needed to divide his troops into three ways and attack the three states of Ji, Qing, and You, so that Yuan Mai could not take care of each other. If you gather troops in one place, you will lose two states, and if you divide your troops in three places, you will lose all three states, and Hebei will be gained by Cao Cao for a long time. If I want to solve today's crisis, I have two strategies to use, but I don't know what strategy the Lord uses. ”

Liu Bei asked, "How is the plan?" What about the next step? ”

Xun Chen said: "The best strategy is to return to Yecheng ......"

Without waiting for Xun Chen to finish speaking, Zhang Fei said angrily again: "Brother Shicai said that he would return to Yecheng, are you asking for his own death?" How did it come to your mouth and become the best policy? ”

Xun Chen said with a smile: "It's fake to rejoin Yecheng, it's true to sneak into the city and kill Xin Ping and Yuan Mai." Cao Cao crusaded against Yuan Shao and Yuan Mai only because he claimed to be the emperor without authorization, as long as the lord killed the puppet emperor Yuan Mai, dedicated the first-level jade seal to the imperial court, and claimed to be a minister, Cao Cao lost his military integrity, and his soldiers retreated. At that time, the lord had both the land of Sanzhou and the strong army of Hebei, and he only needed to cultivate for a few years to compete with Cao Cao. ”

Zhang Fei said happily when he heard this: "This plan is wonderful! As long as I enter the city, my second brother and I will kill Yuan Mai'er as if they were searching for something. ”

Guan Yu, Sun Qian and others also felt that this plan was very clever and nodded their heads, but with Guan and Zhang Zhiyong, as long as Xin Ping dared to summon everyone to the palace to discuss the crime, the two of them could storm out and restrain Yuan Mai and Xin Pingtong. It's not that hard to achieve.

When Liu Bei heard this, he shook his head and said: "Yuan Benchu has the grace to take us in, it is unkind for us to kill his son, and it is unjust to take his land." How can I do such unkindness and unrighteousness? What about the next step? ”

The reason why Xun Chen offered two strategies was that he guessed that Liu Bei would not use his best strategy. This made Xun Chen feel both relieved and helpless, so he could only say: "The next strategy is to abandon Hebei and go south to Jing and Yang to vote for Liu Biao and Sun Quan." Once Cao Cao won Hebei, he would inevitably move his army south, and Liu Biao and Sun Quan would bear the brunt of it, and they would definitely be eager to block Cao's soldiers. The lord can borrow the soldiers of the two to attack Cao Cao's land to gain a foothold. It's just that I don't know when I will be able to compete with Cao Cao. ”

Liu Bei also knew that it was not easy to take this road, and he had to send people under the fence. But he couldn't lose the banner of benevolence and righteousness for the land of Sanzhou. So I still used Xun Chen's strategy and decided to vote for Liu Biao. First, because Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, he can climb up to friendship, and second, Sun Quan is too young Liu Bei to pull his face to defect.

Cao Cao also expected that Liu Bei, a long-distance runner, might abandon the city and leave, so he ambushed a heavy army at the junction of Bingzhou and Jizhou. However, Cao Cao did not expect that Liu Bei, who abandoned the city, did not go to Yuan to buy, but chose to go south. As a result, Liu Bei really passed the test, crossed the border of Sili, and fought a bloody way to Jingzhou.
