Chapter 190: To Each His Own Calculation

is newly married to Cai Yan, and more than ten days have passed in an instant.

News kept coming from the east that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army of more than one million people had already advanced to Yanzhou to break through several county seats, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, had also prepared for war.

In the Anyi military camp drill hall, Liu Weiduan sat on the first seat, and on both sides of his lower head, dozens of generals knelt in two rows according to their positions.

In the first position on the left side of Liu Wei, Xu Shu sat behind a low table, holding a tea cup, sipping the tea in the cup.

"The Qingzhou Yellow Turban has entered Yanzhou, and this king has decided to personally lead an army of 20,000 to the east to help Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai crusade against the Yellow Turban." Looking around at the generals sitting in the Yanwu Hall, Liu Wei asked them, "What do you think?" ”

Most of the soldiers and horses under Liu Wei were born in the Yellow Turbans, and when they heard that they were going to crusade against the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, many generals lowered their heads and said nothing.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Yun, who was sitting first on the left side of the general sequence, got up and clenched his fists, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou is known as one million, and His Highness personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to go, the troops are obviously insufficient, but there are other plans?" ”

As soon as Zhao Yun said this, all the generals from the Yellow Turban raised their heads, and their eyes looked at Liu Wei.

"This king said that the reason why there are yellow turbans is that the court has no way, which makes the people miserable, and they can't complain about the yellow turban soldiers!" Knowing that most of the generals under his command were born in the Yellow Turban, Liu Wei said to everyone: "This Eastern Crusade, the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is still secondary, and the main purpose of this king is to collect the Yellow Turban departments from the siege of the powerful army and keep them for my use!" ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, the generals in the Yanwu Hall glanced at each other, and Zhou Cang, who was born in the Yellow Turban, stood up, hugged his fists and said to Liu Bian: "The last general is from the Yellow Turban, please be the vanguard, or you can persuade some of the Yellow Turbans to serve His Highness!" ”

"This time, Yuanfu will be the pioneer!" Looking at Zhou Cang, Liu Wei nodded and agreed to his request, then turned his head to look at Han Xian, who was kneeling in the third place on the right side, and said, "Han Xian is the deputy vanguard, fighting with General Zhou Cang. The two of you led a thousand heavy cavalry, three thousand Pudao battalions, and one thousand Mo knife battalions to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, clearing the way for the army. ”

"No!" Zhou Cang and Han Xian, who had just stood up, responded with fists, and then sat down.

"Zilong, Dian Wei, Yang Feng, Hu Cai!" After arranging tasks for Zhou Cang and Han Xian, Liu Wei said to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei: "You wait to accompany this king and lead 15,000 elite soldiers to march east!" ”

The four generals who were named by Liu Wei all stood up, hugged their fists in response, and then sat back in their seats.

"The rest of the generals!" The rest of the generals were some partial generals and generals who stayed in Anyi, looking around at everyone, Liu Wei said to them: "The military division guards the base camp in Hedong, you wait to obey the dispatch of the military division and assist the military division to defend Hedong!" ”

The remaining generals in the Yanwu Hall all stood up and responded with their fists clenched. Only then did Liu Wei turn his head to look at Xu Shu and said to him: "Military advisor, this king still has something to worry about, please help this king do it no matter how much in the near future." ”

"Your Highness, please speak!" Sitting behind the low table, Xu Shu bowed slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, but there is an expulsion, and your subordinates are all serving!" ”

"Pei Yuan Shaoshang took some brothers to guard Woniu Mountain!" Turning his head to look at Xu Shu, Liu Wei said to him with a solemn face: "Although the terrain of Woniu Mountain is dangerous, there are not many people after all, and the military advisor should order someone to go to greet him, and take Pei Yuanshao and the brothers on the mountain, as well as Tang Ji and Huanniang to Hedong." I think it would be safer for them to stay in Hedong than in Woniu Mountain. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured!" Clenched his hands into fists and arched towards Liu Wei, Xu Shu said to him: "Your Majesty has already sent someone to inform General Pei to pack up and come to Hedong. Early tomorrow morning, we will arrange people to meet you! ”

"That's great!" Liu Wei nodded, and the one thing hanging in his heart was finally put aside for the time being.

Tang Ji and Tao Huanniang are now in Woniu Mountain, the two are not around, and Woniu Mountain is located outside Hedong, and they are weak, so they can live there for a long time, after all, they can't rest assured.

In the Yanwu Hall of the Anyi Military Camp, Liu Wei was assigning the task of the Eastern Expedition to the generals under his command, and at the same time, Xu County, Yingchuan County.

In the county government council room, a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen years old was sitting.

The middle-aged man had a white face and a not-so-long jet-black beard floating on his chin. His eyes weren't very big, and in the tiny liner, those eyes shone with a brilliant brilliance.

On both sides of the middle-aged man, the right and left sides of the text are divided into two rows, and there are many military generals sitting on their knees.

The middle-aged man sitting at the top of the hall was none other than Cao Cao, who had unsuccessfully assassinated Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a knife, fled Luoyang and raised troops against Dong in Chenliu, and then tried his best to promote the anti-Dong cause in Sour Zao.

Looking around at the people in the hall, Cao Cao asked everyone: "Earlier, a certain wanted to ally with all the princes, break through Luoyang, and kill Dong Zhuo. I don't want the princes to have different intentions, and the erector can't conspire with him. Now the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou are rising again, close to Yanzhou, it is reported that several counties have been attacked, I don't know what you think we should do? ”

After a while, a middle-aged scribe sitting at the top of the left side stroked the beard on his chin and asked Cao Cao: "When Duke Ming went to Yanzhou this time, did he intend to break the Yellow Turban, or did he take the Yellow Turban for his own use?" ”

"The Yellow Turban is a thief, how can he take it for his own use?" As soon as the middle-aged strategist's words fell, Cao Cao frowned slightly and said to him: "Zhicai asked such a question, I think there must be a high theory!" ”

The middle-aged strategist who spoke was none other than Cao Cao's earlier army, and Xun Yu recommended him to the strategist Xi Zhicai.

Hearing Cao Cao say that the yellow scarf was a thief, Xi Zhicai stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, hugged his fists and bowed deeply to Cao Cao and said: "The princes of the world are all blind, and in the past, they captured the yellow scarves and killed them all, but they don't know that although the yellow scarves are thieves, they are now chaotic in various places, and it is also caused by the lack of life of the officials and soldiers. Ming Gong is currently short of soldiers, it is the time to employ people, let go of this million army, how not to leave them a way out of life and recruit his subordinates? It will also be a great help in the future! ”

"What do you mean by Zhicai......?" After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao showed a contemplative look on his face, and after a while, he asked him: "The Qingzhou Yellow Turban is now powerful, how can it be subdued?" Please make it clear! ”

"The march is like fighting the water! It should be sparse but not blocked. Cao Cao asked about the specific strategy, Xi Zhicai stood up straight and said to him: "The upper is good at fighting the plan, the second is good at cutting the country, and the lower is good at cutting down the city!" Soldiers meet each other as a last resort, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight are a great good! ”

"How to be good?" Since Cao Cao raised his troops, he should be a military planner, mostly hosted by Xi Zhicai, and he has a strong dependence on Xi Zhicai, and from Xi Zhicai's words, he heard that the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban should be mainly recruited, Cao Cao sat up and asked: "Zhicai has a plan in his mind, and he dares to ask Qixiang!" ”

"Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch the fire from the other side!" Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong should quickly send a scout horse to pay close attention to the movements of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and wait until the Yellow Turban Army and Yanzhou Liu Dai are both defeated, and then it is not too late to send troops!" ”

Cao Cao nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and then said to Xi Zhicai: "This plan is very good! The yellow turban thief is not a big problem at the moment, and he can't cut it off in a hurry. What a certain person thinks in his heart is still to break through Chang'an, kill Dong thief, and support the foundation of the Han family! ”

"Ming Gong is benevolent and virtuous, I am willing to die!" After Cao Cao said that he still hoped to kill Dong Zhuo Kuang and Fu Han, all the ministers and generals in the hall bowed down with their fists and saluted Cao Cao in unison.

Liu Wei and Cao Cao both wanted to gnaw on the biggest fat of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, but at this time in Chang'an City, another force was plotting against Liu Wei.

Dong Zhuo sat in the study of Xiangguo Mansion, behind him, Lu Bu, who was wearing armor, stood by his sword, and not far from him, kneeling was Jia Xu, the advisor he relied on the most.

Originally, Dong Zhuo's first adviser was Li Ru, but Li Ru was killed by Liu Wei when Liu Wei crossed over. Dong Zhuo can also be regarded as a big thing who is good at employing people, in the absence of Li Ru, he quickly discovered Jia Xu under Niu Fu, and transferred him to his side, and he would ask Jia Xu for a reason whenever he planned.

Unlike Li Ru, Jia Xu still has some feelings for the Han family in his heart, and he is unwilling to preside over many unfavorable plans for the Han family.

At this time, Dong Zhuo summoned him to discuss with him how to eradicate Liu Wei.

"King Hongnong newly married Cai Yong's daughter, I have heard for a long time that he values love and righteousness, and the prime minister plans to imprison Cai Yong to blackmail King Hongnong, I don't know what Jia Zhonglang thinks?" Dong Zhuo stared at Jia Xu, who was kneeling three or five steps away from him, and said this slowly.

Dong Zhuo employs people and never stingy with officials. Since Jia Xu planned a strategy for him, he has been on the rise, and it didn't take long for him to rise to the position of Zhonglang.

"No!" As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Jia Xu bowed down and said to him: "Cai Yong is a famous man today, and his daughter is also Xu Yuhedongwei's family, but I don't know what happened, so I married King Hongnong." Although King Hongnong attaches great importance to love and righteousness, he also knows which is more important, and he will never be coerced by Xiangguo because of a Cai Yong. This will only make Xiangguo suffer from the world's famous people! ”

"King Hongnong was born in the world, and his true appearance has always been difficult to feel at ease!" Jia Xu denied the idea of taking Cai Yong as a hostage, Dong Zhuo frowned, and said to him: "You can't imprison Cai Yong, Jia Zhonglang thinks there is any other way to get rid of King Hongnong?" ”

"The Yellow Turban in Qingzhou is powerful, and now it has repeatedly broken through several counties in Yanzhou!" Sitting opposite Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu said to Dong Zhuo: "Most of the soldiers and horses under the command of King Hongnong are from the Yellow Turban, and Yanzhou has the strong power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, so he will definitely not sit idly by." And the Hongnong King's soldiers and horses must pass through Hanoi and then go to Yanzhou. Xiang Guo can treat Cai Yong well and promote him to the knighthood to cover the eyes and ears of the world. On the other hand, they secretly sent a large army into Hanoi and ambushed King Hong Nong in the Hanoi area! ”
