For Liu Chuang, the battle of Jiaodong was not worth his mental exertion.

With Xu Sheng's ability and 3,000 soldiers and horses, it is by no means difficult to take Jiaodong and Jimo counties. The combined population of the two counties is about 80,000. This may sound like a lot, but in fact, the two counties are vast, sparsely populated, and scattered. This is also destined to make it impossible for the soldiers and horses of the two counties to be concentrated in one place, and it must be extremely easy for Xu Sheng to win.

Now, Liu Chuang's account can be a general, and the number is not too many.

Jiaozhou Bay's Tai Shi Ci and Hou Qian can stand alone; Tobu County has Guan Hai in charge, and it can also stabilize the situation.

Around Liu Chuang, the people who can be generals are none other than Xu Chu, Shi Jian and Xu Sheng.

Among them, Xu Chu is in Gaomi, and Shi Tun is in Yi'an, and he needs to stabilize the situation. In this way, the only person who can be sent out is Xu Sheng.

Liu Chuang also had a headache for this.

Because once again, he found that there were too few people available to him, and there were too few of them...... It made him a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Cang, Wu Anguo, Pei Shao, these people, at most, are generals, and they can charge into battle, but their ability to stand alone is far from enough.

And although Xiao Ling is good, he is still a little immature after all.

Liu Chuang thought about it and decided to let Xiao Ling stay by Tai Shici's side for a while longer, and when he was more mature, he would be sent out for appointment.

However, this is also something that cannot be helped.

Any prince who is in the initial stage of creation will probably face such a dilemma.

In contrast, Liu Chuang felt that he was much luckier...... At least it was much better than Liu Bei's situation. I want to be at the beginning. Liu Bei's soldiers were only a thousand people, and they couldn't pass the pass, but they rushed all the way to kill, and finally became the lord of Shu Han. But in terms of this ability, Liu Chuang admires it very much.

Some people in later generations said that Liu Bei was crying.

But crying is also a skill...... There are so many people in the world who will cry, why can only Liu Bei succeed?

Therefore, even if Liu Chuang doesn't like Liu Bei anymore, he must admit it. Liu Xuande deserves to be a hero, a real hero.

This guy can afford to hold it, put it down, and cry with a lower face.

It may be contemptible to say it. But I have to admit that he can bend and stretch, and this person even has the true meaning of the word 'thick' in the thick black.

On the 22nd day of the first month of the first year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang suddenly ordered the whole army to be mobilized.

He took Xu Chu as the vanguard, crossed the Weishui, and approached Chunyu.

At the same time, he issued a letter to crusade against Peng Xuan.

Regarding Liu Chuang's move, most of the people in Beihai watched coldly.

Although Liu Chuang is after Liu Tao. Zheng Xuan can testify. But you have no official position. Who is qualified to crusade against Peng Xuan? This division is unknown, and I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed. Guan Ning and Bing Yuan immediately wrote to Liu Chuang, telling him not to act rashly and cause a war in the North Sea.

Peng Xuan was even more furious. also issued a piece of paper, saying that Liu Chuang should send troops to fight in vain.

At the same time, Peng Xuan mobilized 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Beihai State. North of Tunbing Wenshui.

Both sides are gearing up, and it looks like they are going to make a big deal and have a fire and ......

"It's impossible to fight!"

In Linzi City, Xun Chen couldn't help but smile with the information sent from the front.

Mrs. Chen said: "Why can't you fight? Both sides have already sent troops and horses, and they are about to fight in one place, why can't the husband say that they can't fight? ”

"With Kang Chenggong here, it is impossible for Meng Yan to really use troops against Peng Xuan.

The teacher is unknown, what Kang Chenggong hates the most is this kind of thing, how can Meng Yan contradict Kang Chenggong? Moreover, it has been less than two months since he entered the Beihai Kingdom, and he will definitely not start the war at this time, and if he doesn't get it right, it will arouse the disgust of the Beihai people. Fat Chuang is a smart man, he will never risk the world's disapproval to do such a thankless thing. Even if he defeats Peng Xuan, what good will it do him? ”

"How can it be no good?"

Mrs. Chen said: "Drive away Peng Xuan, won't he only have to occupy Beihai?" ”

"The problem is, if he really does this, he will offend Kang Chenggong."

Mrs. Chen opened her mouth, a little disagreeing with Xun Chen's opinion. But she won't argue with Xun Chen openly, and she always can't look down on Liu Chuang in her heart.

In her opinion, even if her daughter can't marry the Yuan family, she can marry the Chen family.

The Chen family is also a big family in Yingchuan, if the daughter can marry the Chen family, wouldn't it be close to each other, making the relationship between the two families closer?

But she couldn't say this to Xun Chen.

Because Mrs. Chen knew that Xun Chen now wanted her daughter to marry Liu Chuang.

What's ridiculous is that his mind is only because of a joke with Liu Tao after he was drunk......

I hope that the fat chuang can plant a heel, and in this case, the husband's attitude towards this family business may change.

Just as the couple were chatting and talking, a retainer suddenly came to report, "The little master sent someone to deliver a letter." ”

Little master?

Xun Chen was stunned, and then he understood.

There are five brothers in his family, Xun Chen is the fourth, and there is a younger brother below, Xun Yu.

At the beginning, when Xun Yu did not defect to Cao Cao, he also served under Yuan Shao. Later, he left Hebei and defected to Cao Cao, who had just established himself in Dongjun, and Xun Chen and Xun Yu had a dispute. The most important thing is that Xun Chen originally planned to recommend the third brother Xun Yan to work for Yuan Shao, but was sabotaged by Xun Yu. For this matter, Xun Chen and Xun Yu had a fierce quarrel, and the two brothers stopped contacting each other after that.

Now, Xun Yu is very reused under Cao Cao, what is the purpose of suddenly writing a letter?

He asked his retainer to bring the letter, and after looking at it twice, his face suddenly changed dramatically.

"Feng Xiao is a poisonous plan, isn't this pushing Meng Yan to the forefront?"

"Husband, what's going on?"

Xun Chen's face was gloomy, and he wandered around the room with a letter.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Guo Jia Xiao'er offered advice and concealment, and promoted Meng Yan as the Marquis of Guan Ting, the Captain of Dongyi, and the Taishou of Qi County. ”

"Huh?"

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Fat is only eighteen years old, and he is a member of two thousand stones, which is a bit of child's play." ”

"You know what."

Xun Chen glared at Mrs. Chen, "The question is not whether he has this qualification or not. But after this edict is down, the eldest prince will inevitably be dissatisfied. Meng Yan is now in Beihai, and Qi County is under the possession of the eldest prince. This edict is clearly intended to provoke the eldest prince to turn against Meng Yan...... And you also said that Meng Yan was only eighteen years old. If it's just Guan Tinghou or Dongyi Lieutenant, it's not a big deal.

With Ziqi's prestige, if you have to be the Marquis of Guan Pavilion or the Captain of Dongyi, no one will presumably care.

The problem is that Qi County is too guarded...... He was the Taishou of Qi County at a young age, so what would other people think?

Meng Yan struggled to obtain Zang Ba as an ally. Contain Taishan Lu Qian. But now, I'm afraid Zang Ba won't feel comfortable in his heart. ”

Mrs. Chen was stunned and silent.

"Isn't it? Can't Zang Xuangao see it? ”

"What can you see?"

Xun Chen put his hands behind his back and wandered in the room, "Guo Jia is a yang scheme, and it can be regarded as people's hearts."

No matter how good Zang Xuangao's bearing is, when he encounters this kind of thing, I'm afraid he will feel guilty...... Even if he won't turn against Liu Chuang, there will inevitably be a rift. No, as soon as this happens, Meng Yan will have to suffer from the enemy on his back. I must send a warning to him lest he suffer. ”

In fact. The more resourceful the person. Again, the simpler the mind.

Xun Chen had never seen Liu Chuang, but because of the agreement between him and Liu Tao back then, he had already regarded Liu Chuang as his son-in-law.

Mrs. Chen looked at Xun Chen's helpless appearance, and her heart was even more dissatisfied.

You haven't been so worried about your own children, but now for a Liu Chuang. But it's a bit too much. However, she couldn't say this to Xun Chen. If you say it, I'm afraid it will attract Xun Chen's reprimand...... But inside. was even more dissatisfied with Liu Chuang.

"Little Mushroom, have you heard of Liu Chuang?"

In the back garden of Linzi Xun Mansion, a young girl in the flower season asked the maid around her curiously.

The girl was chubby and looked quite cute.

"The little lady is talking about Liu Chuang from Beihai Kingdom?"

"Hmm."

The girl said: "Somehow lately, I have often heard people mention this name.

Father and mother also talked about this person a lot, and listening to their tones, the father valued this person very much, but the mother was a little disgusted with this person. Even the eldest brother, when he mentioned this person yesterday, he was a little weird. Little mushroom, do you know where this person came from? ”

Little Mushroom said: "The little maid is not very clear.

However, I heard that he only started to rise last year, and as soon as he came out, he caused a lot of trouble.

I heard that at first he seemed to be a house slave of the Elk family in Donghai County, but later he left the house and robbed Miss Mi. But somehow, he became the son of the Marquis of Zhongling, and he was also a relative of the emperor. It is rumored outside that this person is cruel and murderous, and he is lustful. It is said that he is too tall and eight feet tall, and he can eat a cow in one meal and kill a tiger with one punch, which is very scary. ”

When the girl heard this, she immediately showed a sunny look.

"Nonsense, how can there be such a person?

It's too tall and eight feet big, and that's almost a square.

Little mushroom, you don't listen to that gibberish outside every day...... However, I believe that he can kill a tiger with one punch. ”

The little mushroom pouted, looking unhappy.

You asked me, why did it turn into gibberish again?

"Little lady, why did you suddenly ask about this person?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I've heard people talk about him a lot lately, so I'm a little interested."

Unexpectedly, the little mushroom showed a strange smile, "Little lady, little lady, I heard the eldest son inadvertently show his tone two days ago, as if to say that this Liu Chuang has a deep relationship with the little lady." ”

"Nonsense!"

The girl suddenly showed an unhappy look, "I haven't heard of this person, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"But I heard the eldest prince say after drinking that day that the little lady will marry Liu Chuang in the future."

"Nonsense!"

When the girl heard this, she immediately became anxious.

"Little mushroom, if you talk nonsense again, I'm going to be angry."

"How can I talk nonsense, it was really the eldest prince who said it that day...... also said that the little lady was not born and made a relationship with that person.

It's only because everyone thinks he's dead all these years that no one mentions it. The eldest prince also said that the lord and the lady are for this matter. There have also been quarrels. Plus this Liu Chuang, he is in Beihai Country, so he didn't mention it to the little lady......"

"It can't be!"

The girl stood up with a look of trepidation.

"By the way, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this, and if I hear someone chewing their tongues outside, I can't spare you......"

"Little lady, little maid won't talk nonsense.

If the little lady hadn't asked me today, I wouldn't have sued you. However, the eldest prince's side ...... He likes to talk nonsense when he drinks too much. I can't guarantee that the eldest prince will not tell outsiders. ”

"Okay, okay, I know what to do."

The girl seemed to become annoyed all of a sudden, and waved her hand impatiently.

The little mushroom stuck out its tongue on the side. Don't dare to speak again.

And the girl lingered for a moment, and strode out of the gazebo.

"Little lady, where are you going?"

"Let's go find the big brother first!"

The girl said viciously, that look, but it was a little scary.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

However, as Xun Chen guessed.

The Great War of the North Sea Kingdom, which many people had been looking forward to, did not happen.

After Liu Chuang waved his troops across Weishui, he stationed his troops outside the county and did not continue to advance.

At this point, he followed the original agreement with Zheng Xuan very well. There will be no troops to cross Wenshui.

But even so. Chun Yu was frightened by Liu Chuang's move. After Xu Chubing arrived on the bank of the Wenshui River, Chunyu County Commander did not say a word, took his wife and children, escaped from Chunyu, crossed the Wenshui River and went north. went to Peng Xuan to cry. In this way, it made Chun Yu a mess. The soldiers and horses in the city have all fled without a trace, leaving an empty city that no one cares about. It made the people even more nervous.

Chunyu is also a Beihai surname.

Chunyu County's Cun Zài is even more because Ti Ying came to save his father back then.

Seeing Liu Chuang's troops approaching the city, he couldn't figure out Liu Chuang's true intentions.

After the gentry of Chunyu County discussed, he recommended Chunyu Mingshi Chun Yujun to represent Chunyu people and go out of the city to contact Liu Chuang.

This Chun Yujun, Chinese New Year's Eve, is proficient in Yi.

His father, Chun Yujia, was worshiped as Situ in the court, and he was also an extremely influential figure.

Of course, Chun Yujia is an old minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he naturally belongs to the side of the Han Emperor. However, he was very smart, and after arriving in Xudu, he followed the example of the Jin people and kept silent and watched the situation between the DPRK and China coldly.

Liu Chuangfang arrived at Chunyu, and in the face of Chunyu's situation, he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Mr. Chunyu, what do you have to say?"

"Liu Gongzi, you and Kang Chenggong had an agreement that they would not start a war in the North Sea, why did you break your promise and get fat?"

When Liu Chuang heard this, he was immediately unhappy.

"Could it be that Mr. Chun Yu meant, I was assassinated, can't I do something?

That's right, the boss had agreed with me that no war should be started; But I also replied at that time: If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone!

Peng Xuan sent people to assassinate Gaomi, and the evidence was conclusive.

Today, our soldiers entered the Wenshui River, and they did not violate the old man's original instructions, and they did not read Wenshui. How can you break your word and get fat? ”

When Liu Chuang and Zheng Xuan agreed, Chun Yujun was also present.

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Chuang did not violate the original agreement. He stationed troops in Wenshui, but did not cross Wenshui, so he could not be regarded as breaking his word and getting fat. But now, Chun Yu has become a mess. Chun Yujun probably figured out what Liu Chuang meant, he sent troops this time, but he was afraid that he was here for a demonstration. It's normal to think about it, Liu Chuang was assassinated, if he didn't say something, he was afraid of being underestimated by others.

"Liu Gongzi, I don't want to ask about the matter between you and Peng Xiang.

I only ask you, and now how are you going to appease Chun Yu......"

"Mr. Chunyu, I don't seem to have attacked the county seat, let alone sent troops to station, how can I appease him?"

Appeasement, on the one hand, refers to the act of occupying the territory.

Chun Yujun smiled bitterly: "Although Liu Gongzi has not raised troops against Chun Yu, it has affected the normal life of Chun Yu's people.

Now, Chunyu County Commander and his family, as well as the soldiers and horses in Chunyu City, have left, and Chunyu has become an empty city that needs to be appeased. Since Childe is here, don't go! Inviting Liu Gongzi into the city can at least make the people feel at ease. ”

When Liu Chuang heard this, he was stunned.

Is there any one who takes the initiative to give up the city?

But the problem is that he doesn't want to occupy too many cities now, because this will inevitably lead to the dispersion of his forces.

"Liu Gongzi, Kang Chenggong said that he wanted you to take on Chunyu's safety.

Jinchun is in chaos, and a strong army is needed to garrison here. Chun Yu Jun Dai Chun Yu 30,000 people, imploring Gongzi to fulfill the original agreement and enter Chun Yu, is Chun Yu to do his best to be stable. If the son does not enter the city for a day, the people in the city will not be at peace for a day. ”

At the beginning, Zheng Xuan asked Liu Chuang to station troops in Chunyu, Anqiu and Chang'an counties.

But later, Liu Chuang listened to Zhuge Liang's persuasion and did not occupy the three counties, but only borrowed Gaomi and Yi'an.

To be honest, Chun Yujun was a little disappointed!

You must know that this Chunyu is located at the intersection of Wenshui and Weishui, and it is also a place where bandits are rampant.

There have been many times before, there have been bandits coming from Shunwenshui, or tired of Weishui, attacking the county. However, due to the emptiness of troops and the lack of strong guards, he could only watch thieves run rampant outside the city from the city. Liu Chuang's department, rampant in Sanzhou, turned to fight thousands of miles, its force is strong, Chun Yujun can rest assured. He didn't want to take refuge in Liu Chuang, but he hoped that there would be a team of people who could keep his hometown safe.

Before Liu Chuang refused to accept Chun Yu, it was called Gao Feng Liang Festival, and Chun Yujun was not reluctant.

But now, since you, Liu Chuang, are here......

And the Chun Yu county order was so frightened that he fled, how could Chun Yujun let Liu Chuang go again.

So, please occupy Chunyu.

Anyway, with Kang Chenggong Zheng Xuan as a guarantor, I am not afraid that you will harm the township, otherwise Zheng Xuan's reputation will not be guaranteed.

Liu Chuang looked at Chun Yujun, and suddenly had a feeling of crying and laughing...... This time, he really didn't think about attacking the city and plundering the land, and the reason why he sent troops was for other reasons. He needed to show his sense of being, but he wasn't ready to receive Chunyu.

"Liu Gongzi, Kang Chenggong once said, and Guan Ning Bing was originally guaranteed, and Chun Yu was borrowed from Gongzi.

Childe, you don't want to tell the truth, so you don't want to come. But now that you're here, do you want to sit back and watch Chun Yu and go into chaos? ”

Liu Chuang, speechless!

It's a remark......

It seems that if he does not accept Chunyu, he will be heinous and sinful.

Liu Chuang pondered for a long time, then turned around and asked, "Kong Ming, what do you think?" ”
