Chapter 143: Lack of Shaft and Conspiracy (I) 1/3
In September, Liu Chuang defeated the Taishan thieves and relieved the siege of the tomb.
As soon as the news spread, Qi County shook.
And Yuan Tan, who was far away in Jinan, had a very complicated mood after hearing the news.
To be honest, he wished that Yuan Shang would die in the mausoleum, so that he could have one less opponent to fight with him. Among Yuan Shao's three sons, except for Yuan Shang, he has no opponents. Yuan Xi has a cowardly temperament and is not a person who likes to fight. Therefore, from beginning to end, Yuan Tan did not take Yuan Xi in his eyes, and there was only one person who could really threaten him.
However, he also knew that if Yuan Shang died in the tomb, Yuan Shao would definitely be furious.
Yuan Tan knew that he couldn't withstand Yuan Shao's thunderous anger, but he was reluctant to let him rescue Yuan Shang like this.
Is Qi County really without soldiers?
Even if Qi County has no soldiers and horses, he can draw soldiers and horses from Le'an Kingdom, but it will only be a day or two. Yuan Tan is the assassin of Qingzhou, in Qingzhou, except for Jinan and Beihai and Donglai counties, the rest of the counties and horses are all under his dispatch and assignment, how can he have no soldiers and horses? It's not that it doesn't matter, it's really not exciting! Even later, Liu Chuang commanded the troops, and Yuan Tan secretly ordered Liu Xian not to have too many soldiers and horses with Liu Chuang. In his heart, he didn't want Yuan Shangzhan to die in the mausoleum, but if he didn't do enough work on the surface, there would inevitably be a catastrophe.
But who would have thought that Liu Chuang would actually win!
With that few thousands of rabble, Liu Chuang actually defeated the Taishan thieves and relieved the siege of Yuling, which made Yuan Tan very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Mr. Youruo, I didn't expect Meng Yan to use soldiers to be so powerful!"
Sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Tanqiang smiled and said to Xun Chen: "He can have such means at a young age, and he will definitely be able to achieve his career in the future." ”
Xun Chen smiled from ear to ear and nodded again and again.
Yuan Tan felt irritable for a while, so he didn't want to talk to Xun Chen anymore.
"Mr. Xun. What's next? ”
"Now that the siege of Yuling has been lifted, Tian Kai's reinforcements have been extinct, and the army will be in turmoil.
The eldest prince immediately launched a fierce attack on Taixian, as long as the Taixian soldiers and horses were defeated, he could take advantage of the situation and drive straight to Dongpingling.
As soon as the Dongping Tomb was broken, Tian Kai rested. ”
Yuan Tan nodded, "I think the same way." Tomorrow will launch an attack on Taixian.
It's just that, in this way, it is necessary to have a team of soldiers and horses, light cavalry, to attack and capture Licheng. Cutting off Tian Kai's retreat, I don't know what Mr. Xun thinks, who can take on this important task? ”
"You can ask the third prince to send troops."
Xun Chen couldn't understand Yuan Tan's careful thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Although the third prince was defeated by the earth drum, the soldiers and horses suffered a lot of losses.
However, there were still thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, so he simply asked Meng Yan to transfer another 3,000 people and the third son. Ask him to send troops to recapture Tugu and capture Licheng. Presumably, the third prince will definitely not refuse. He was young and vigorous, and he was defeated by the earth drum. Concentrate on revenge. ”
Yuan Tan thought about it and agreed with Xun Chen's idea.
Xun Chen shook his fan and walked out of the big tent. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared.
What Meng Yan said is not bad, this Yuan Xiansi. It's really not enough to make a big deal...... However, with such a character, Meng Yan can save a lot of trouble.
Yuan Tan had that little ninety-nine in his heart, how could Xun Chen not see it?
This guy is jealous, jealous of Liu Chuang's fame. This person is so small-minded that he is not suitable for achieving great things. Nakaji put hope on him, I'm afraid it was a wrong choice. Yuan Tan is a person with a strong voice and great ambitions. If he has the heart to get rid of Yuan Shang, then he will be bold enough to do it. If he can really kill Yuan Shang, Xun Chen may think highly of Yuan Tan to him. It's a pity......
You Yuan Tan is also Yuan Shao's son!
Even if Yuan Shao dotes on Yuan Shang, but the tiger poison does not eat children, he will never attack Yuan Tanzhen.
The most important thing is that as soon as Yuan Shang dies, you Yuan Tan will be the eldest son of the upright son, and when Yuan Shao kills you, you will also have some concerns.
It's just that this guy obviously has bad intentions, but he doesn't have the courage.
With such an opponent, Meng Yan will sit back and relax!
Thinking of this, Xun Chen sneered in his heart, and then took a big stride towards the Yuanmen......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The next day, Yuan Tan stormed Taixian.
At the same time, Yuan Shang also regrouped in Yuling, preparing to attack the earth drum and take revenge.
However, compared with his previous attitude, Yuan Shang's attitude towards Liu Chuang this time has obviously improved a lot. He sent someone to invite Liu Chuang to help in the war, although Liu Chuang refused, but he was not dissatisfied because of this, but asked the messenger to convey his gratitude to Liu Chuang.
He also knew that it was impossible to make Liu Chuang change his mind immediately.
After all, Liu Chuangcai killed his subordinate generals, even if he solved the siege of Yuling, I am afraid that he would not dare to accept his kindness lightly.
Of course, it is impossible to serve under Yuan Shang's account at this time.
Yuan Shang showed enough generosity in this regard, and even wrote a letter to Liu Chuang, asking him to rest assured.
Swords and guns have no eyes, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties.
Although you killed Yu Yuanjin, I am not angry, on the contrary, I am happy for my father.
Father is really lucky to have your help. When this battle is over, I will definitely return to Linzi and thank you personally.
Liu Chuang read the letter in Banyang and couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang's bearing and talent are indeed much stronger.
It's a pity that he can't have much intersection with Yuan Shang, even if he and Yuan Shang are the same age, but the two are destined to only become opponents.
Liu Chuang even thought again, if Yuan Shang was Yuan Shao's only son, what would be the result?
It's hard to guess this kind of thing, and he doesn't want to spend too many brain cells on this matter...... This time I came to Qi County, no matter what, the purpose has been achieved. The rest of the things don't need him to worry about anymore, I believe that with Xun Chen, he can handle things properly.
He has more important things, that is, to recruit Xiahou Lan.
After this Xiahou Lan was captured, he was imprisoned in the county town of Banyang and did not say a word all day.
Liu Chuang returned to Banyang from Yuanshan and observed Xiahoulan for a few days, but did not immediately meet Xiahoulan.
On this day, he received a letter from Yuan Tan. He asked Peng An and Hua Yan to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 2,000 prisoners of Banyang City, and sent them to Yuling.
He told Yuan Shang that the guards were empty now, and it was really not appropriate to keep so many prisoners.
Therefore, send these captives to the third son, and ask the third prince to deal with it, it is my wish.
This is also a kindness that Liu Chuang secretly released to Yuan Shang. Yuan Tan is no longer of much use. I believe that after this battle, Yuan Shao will inevitably pay more attention to him. As long as Yuan Shao does not use troops against Liu Chuang, then Yuan Tan will not dare to make a move even if he has the courage to do it.
That guy has no heart and no guts. If the heart is ruthless and the hands are not black, sooner or later he will die.
Liu Chuang came to Qi County this time to use Yuan Tan to register with Yuan Shao. Now it seems that the goal has been achieved......
After Peng Anhuayan and the two left with the soldiers and horses, Liu Chuang began his movements.
The entire county town of Banyang has been accused by him.
He summoned Cen Bi. "Bergui, after this battle, I'm afraid it won't be long before I return to Beihai.
You follow me from Linzi. Rushing to the sun, sneaking up on the original mountain, it is very good. I'm leaving, but I'm a little reluctant to you. So I want you to return to the North Sea Country with me, I don't know what you think? Of course. If you don't want to go with me, I won't force you. It's just that you have a good deed, and it's a pity to stay here. I believe you have also seen that there are many capable people under the command of the eldest prince, and it is difficult for a person like you who is not famous to have a bright future. However, I can recommend it to the eldest prince, and it may be of some use. ”
Cen Bi's cousin Bogui, hearing Liu Chuang's words, couldn't help but be moved.
In the past few days, he has followed Liu Chuang, but he has indeed seen Liu Chuang's methods. Whether it was Liu Chuang's force or Chen Jiao's picking up and filling in the gaps, it was an eye-opener for Cen Bi. This is not a guy who will only rely on the name of Uncle Emperor of the Han Dynasty to deceive, there are indeed some means. Following Liu Chuang to fight in the past two days was also the happiest one for Cen Bi over the years, and Liu Chuang gave him enough trust.
Cen Bi also thought that after Liu Chuang returned to Beihai, he and the more than 600 people under him would probably not be allowed in Qi County.
Why......
Very simple!
They are not Yuan Tan's henchmen.
Yuan Tan's henchmen are nothing more than Hua Yan, Liu Xian, Peng An and a few others.
Even Xin Ping may not be Yuan Tan's confidant...... Peng An is honest and loyal, but he is not a talent for commanding troops.
Cen Bi has long been unconvinced of Peng An, but after Peng An's fame, he is quite famous in Qi County, and it is far from being comparable to Cen Bi's grassroots background.
Now that Liu Chuang is invited, Cen Bi can't help but feel excited.
He was a little moved, but he was worried about the identities of Liu Chuang and Yuan Tan, so he hesitated.
Liu Chuang seemed to see the hesitation in Cen Bi's heart, so he smiled and said, "Bogui, you don't have to worry too much.
If you are willing to go with me, I will do my best to bear it for you. You also know that I am going to take Donglai and take many cities, and someone needs to be in charge for me. As for the eldest prince's side, you don't have to worry, I believe that with the bearing of the eldest prince, I will definitely not embarrass you. ”
Cen Bi's heart was moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask if Ruomo will go to Beihai with his son, what position can he do?" ”
"Today, the Beihai country is determined, bandits are numerous, and bandits are rampant.
Especially in the areas of Xixian, Shouguang and Duchang, the situation is the most severe. I will appoint you as the Beihai Pirate Cao, recruit young people in the three counties, suppress the bandits and quell the chaos, I don't know what you think? ”
Thief Cao?
This is similar to the post of police chief in later generations, with great power.
When Cen Bi heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore.
He was in Qi County, but he was just a small horseman, and his roots were not valued by others.
There are dozens of cavalry governors in Qi County, and good things can't be his turn, and all the drudgery falls on him, Cen Bi has long felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
If you can be a thief in the Beihai Kingdom, wouldn't it be more comfortable than being excluded and bullied in Qi County?
Besides, Liu Gongzi is the uncle of the Han Emperor, although his strength is not strong, but with his bravery, coupled with the fact that he saved the third prince this time, it is enough to show that it is not easy for Yuan Gongzi to suppress Liu Chuang in the future, not to mention that he also formed an alliance with Lu Bu.
Thinking of this, Cen Bi didn't hesitate any longer, prostrate on the ground, and said respectfully: "What kind of virtue can Bi have to make Uncle Huang treat him differently and dare not serve his life?" ”
Liu Chuang patted Cen Bi, "Bogui, don't talk about life and death, if you follow me, you will have a great future."
From now on, I want you to bring the 600 heroes who will run with you and me on my behalf, and when I return to Beihai, I hope to take them all with me. ”
Cen Bi perked up and said softly: "Childe, there are still two thousand people in Banyang City. ”
"I only need these 600 people, and the rest ......"
Liu Chuang smiled slightly and said softly, "How can I compare with you?"
Qin Feng said: Holding the hand of the son, and the same robe with the son. You and I have a friendship in robes, what do those people have to do with me? From this day on, the safety of our government will be guarded with you and six hundred children. ”
"Whoa!"
Cen Bi was in a good mood.
Hearing no, Uncle Liu Huang said, I am a friendship with him.
With this sentence, it is enough to make Cen Bi's liver and brain smear......
After subduing Cen Bi, Liu Chuang was also in a good mood.
That night, he arranged for the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to be divided into two divisions and take turns to guard the city.
In Banyang County, Cen Bi led his own patrols, but he was not worried at all.
In the Yazhong of Panyang County, the lights are bright.
Liu Chuang sat on the top of the yatang, holding a volume of Spring and Autumn Period, and read it proudly.
Before Liu Tao's death, he was good at "Spring and Autumn". Then he was reborn as the son of Liu Tao, and the book "Spring and Autumn" must be memorized. Liu Chuang's reading of this "Spring and Autumn" was annotated by Liu Tao. Naturally, there are a lot of thoughts belonging to Liu Tao in it. Zheng Xuan once told him that if he didn't read "Spring and Autumn" well, he would be ridiculed and humiliated. You are Liu Tao's son, so you must take on Liu Tao's family education. Therefore, you must memorize the book "Spring and Autumn", read it, and understand it thoroughly...... It is indeed very difficult for a soul who has traveled from the afterlife to read and understand chapters like "Spring and Autumn". Even Liu Chuang liked ancient studies in his previous life, but if he wanted to understand this work, he also felt a headache.
How did the ancients read books?
Memorize it first and keep the chapter firmly in your mind.
You don't have to be able to understand it right away, as long as you can keep it in mind...... As I get older, maybe one day, I will be able to understand a certain sentence or a certain paragraph. In the ancient books, there is not only a kind of character record, but also the life insights of the ancients.
It's just that it takes years of precipitation.
Liu Chuang couldn't read it at first, and even every time he looked at the words without punctuation marks and without any paragraphs, his head would be as big as a bucket.
But slowly, he found some wayways.
So for this "Spring and Autumn", I am more interested.
Later generations: Guan Gong reads "Spring and Autumn" at night.
It can be said that Second Brother Guan spent a lifetime of energy trying to understand the Spring and Autumn Chapter, but in the end, he couldn't really comprehend it.
This shows that "Spring and Autumn" is broad and profound.
Liu Chuang began to understand why Second Brother Guan was so obsessed with Spring and Autumn.
The content in this is indeed worth savoring and pondering......
"Childe, Xiahou Lan brought it."
Cen Bi whispered outside the door, Liu Chuang raised his head, and saw Xiahou Lan dressed in black, tied by ropes, and pushed into the yatang.
"Go down, Bergui."
As Liu Chuang spoke, he got up and picked up the Sizhao sword, and walked towards Xiahou Lan.
