Chapter 1066 The edict of the Son of Heaven came to Liu Bei and hesitated
What does it feel like to eat meat in your mouth and then spit it out? That feeling is called 'flesh pain'!
Now, Liu Bei was tormented by this feeling, which made his already wrinkled face even more miserable, and everyone in the conference room had different expressions.
This is Xuchang City, after a long period of war, the famous city of Xuchang is still a third-level town, but the upper limit of the population has never arrived, on the contrary, its development degree is still declining, and even has reached the edge of downgrading, fortunately Xuchang is a famous city, and the level of the famous city will not be reduced to the original level of the chapter.
Liu Bei got Xuchang City not to fight, but to pick up an empty city, the defenders in the city are stable and strong in the south, and took refuge in Cao Cao, fortunately the people did not follow, most of them hid in the surrounding mountains, and when the war is over, they slowly return home, Liu Bei's Anmin list and reputation also played a certain role.
Yingchuan really fell into Liu Bei's pocket, this way can be regarded as a complete realization of the predetermined strategic goals, while the other way is partial to the division, but the role is not great, Luoyang fire, the entire Henan Yin fell into the hands of Lu Bu in one day, so fast that even the gods can't react, let alone Liu Bei, who is not a fairy.
For example, today, an edict arrived, asking Liu Bei to give up Xincheng and withdraw Guan Yu's troops to the south of Shouyang Mountain, on the condition that Liu Bei Yingchuan Taishou and Runan Taishou be appointed.
"My lord, Xincheng is originally a small place. And the biggest significance lies in the deterrent nature, now that Henan Yin has changed hands, it makes no sense to stay in Xincheng any longer. On the contrary, it will be criticized, and it is imperative to make new achievements. ”
Sun Gan's words were categorical and there was no room for compromise, but Zhang Fei looked at the eldest brother's tangled expression, and he could still understand the eldest brother's mood, and said with a change in his neck: "Why?" The place where we beat down is ours, and if you have the ability to let Lu Bu fight back, you just have 1
"Three generals. In this way, the world is not the Son of Heaven, but whose fist is bigger and whose is whom, right? ”
"Ugh. The"
Zhuge Jin's words made Zhang Fei close his mouth, and if he continued to say it, it would be a slap in the face, a slap in the face of Liu Bei. You must know that Liu Bei's banner is Kuangfu Han Room! Now occupy the territory and love the stack and don't go. Ignoring the edict of the Son of Heaven and ignoring it, in this way, all the skin has been peeled off!
"Withdraw! Immediately ordered Yun Chang to withdraw his troops, and the people were not allowed to move. ”
"Big brother, if the people follow on their own, there is no way to do it1 Zhang Fei interjected slyly.
Liu Bei's bitter and hateful face squeezed out a smile: "Just persuade me to go back." ”
"Can't you persuade you to go back?"
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei, who was unrelenting: "If I can't persuade them to go back, what else can I do, can't I tie them back 1."
"Hey, yes, yes! Wise people. Everyone heard it, and it can't be tied back1
Zhang Fei shook his head triumphantly. Zhuge Jin shook his head, is this little cheap interesting, it will be gossiped behind people's backs, but since Liu Bei has spoken, Zhuge Jin will no longer touch the mold, but Zhuge Jin doesn't say it, but there are still people to say.
"Lord, this matter can't be done, no matter what, it will be the lord's, this little cheap can't be greedy, since you are already going to evacuate, you should withdraw the army well, don't make good things into bad things, and when the time comes, you will lose your real profit and reputation, isn't it boring to be self-deprecating."
Chen Zhen's words were like a thorn, stabbing Liu Bei's heart fiercely, Liu Bei's face twitched, and Zhang Fei was even more feverish, fortunately his face was dark enough, otherwise he would not be able to hide his embarrassment and shame.
"Okay, just as Xiaoqi said, Yun Chang was strictly ordered not to bring the people back to the south, in addition, due to the impact of the war, the people of Xincheng must have missed the summer harvest, so let Yun Chang leave the excess military rations to the people of Xincheng, just say that it is the grace of the Son of Heaven."
"That's very good.1 Chen Zhen praised, lowered his eyelids again, and calmed down.
Liu Bei smiled hard: "Okay, that's what happened to Henan Yin, what about Yingchuan and Runan?" Who should be the Taishou, or rather, is Runan, the empty Taishou, simply refusing. ”
"I can't refuse, the lord 1 Sun Qian shook his head helplessly.
Liu Bei's face sank: "Why can't you refuse, is it also necessary to force the appointment and dismissal of officials?" ”
"Don't worry, my subordinates don't mean that. The lord tried to imagine, if the lord rejected the position of Runan Taishou, then whose hands would this position fall into? ”
"Naturally, Cao Cao I understand, Cao Cao and our army have no room for compromise, so even if we take the initiative to back down, Cao Cao will not accept this love."
"That's right, Yingchuan is very important to Cao Cao, and now that he is stuck by our army, how can Cao Cao give up?"
Zhuge Jin smiled and continued: "Not only that, the lord is to support the Han family as his own responsibility, then there will inevitably be a war with Cao Cao, this hostile relationship has been established from the beginning, so there will never be a compromise with Cao Cao, or there will be a strategic tacit understanding in some cases, but in essence, our army and Cao Cao are incompatible." ”
"Therefore, we have to do what we can do to fight Cao Cao, with the justifiable name of Runan Taishou, we can maintain the reason to do it to Cao Cao at any time, and we also have the means to put Cao Cao in an unrighteous position, we must want this position of Taishou, and we must set 1
Sun Qian finally summed up his thoughts, and Liu Bei nodded frequently in appreciation.
"So let's nominate a candidate, do you have any suggestions?"
When Wei Yan heard this, he raised his head to look at Liu Bei, hesitated for a while, and then recommended himself: "My lord, the last general is willing to take on the role of the Taishou of Runan, and seek to seize the land of a county in Runan for the lord." ”
Zhang Fei smiled, Zhuge Jin glanced at Wei Yan and shook his head slightly.
Liu Bei leaned back, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Wen Chang is very ambitious, however, Runan is mainly for conquest, Wen Chang is not only good at fighting, but also has the ability to take charge of one side, compared with Yide, I think it is more suitable to be in charge of Yingchuan, as for Runan, let Yide go." ”
"Hehe, the eldest brother has the most vision, it's right for me to go to Runan, but do you want to fight now?"
"Of course not, now encourage Zhang Liang to fight, our army needs to rectify Yingchuan, the three generals can raise troops to be stationed in Linying, and confront Wenqiang, if Wenqiang is weak, even if it is taken down, if the opponent is heavily defended, the three generals only need to drag them for the time being, and they must not be strong, and it takes a better time to attack Runan."
"Ziyu's words are very true, but his subordinates also have some questions, now that our army has officially bordered Cao Cao, why do we still want to keep Zhang Liang, it is better to swallow Zhang Liang first, in case he sways left and right in the middle."
Sun Gan's words Liu Bei also felt that it was very reasonable, and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Zhuge Jin, in fact, almost everyone in the room was staring at Zhuge Jin's young face.
Zhuge Jin said unhurriedly: "This matter is not difficult to understand, Zhang Liang is now sandwiched between our army and Cao Cao, there is indeed a possibility of swaying from side to side, and even his defection is likely to have a serious impact." However, the premise of this defection does not exist, Zhang Mancheng can surrender, but Zhang Liang must not surrender, he must fight. On the contrary, although the relationship between us and Zhang Liang is also that of an official and a thief, there is no conflict between us, and the lord is known for his benevolence, and when the time comes, the lord can learn from Fang Zhiwen and send Zhang Liang out of the country. ”
Liu Bei's eyes rolled, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Sun Qian suddenly said: "Ziyu means that Zhang Liang and Cao Cao are still needed to fight to the death?" Continue to consume Cao Cao, and when Zhang Liang can't hold on, he will directly obtain Zhang Liang's population and territory by sending him out of the country as a gift? ”
"Yes, the reason why Fang Zhiwen saved Zhang Jiao's army and people is because they still need to fight and survive after going north to the desert, and now there are many Yellow Turbans north of the desert, we only need to let Zhang Liang take the army, and the people should stay1
"However, will Cao Cao also adopt this method? For example, let them cross the border to Mount Tai in exchange? ”
"No, Zhang Liang will not go to Mount Tai, it is still a place of death, and Cao Cao and Fang Zhiwen are at odds, there is no condition to send them to Mobei, but the lord is Fang Zhiwen's brother, so he can naturally do this"
Liu Bei smiled slightly, he couldn't imagine that there was such a use on a whim back then, and when he thought of the smugness, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing: "In this way, Zhang Liang can still exert his strength, so let's give Zhang Liang a reassurance pill and let him struggle hard." ”
"Oh, that's how it should be1
Liu Bei accepted the order and withdrew Guan Yu's troops from Xincheng and handed them over to Lei Bo, who came to receive them, but Guan Yu still staged a good show in the city to win the hearts of the people, distributing military rations to the people, and won Liu Bei a lot of reputation.
The Son of Heaven quickly issued an edict to Liu Bei, appointing and dismissing Wei Yan and Zhang Fei, although Cao Cao took the field of Runan, and got the surrender of the soldiers of Ji Ling's troops, but on the bright side Cao Cao was very passive, from the attitude of the Dingtao court, anyone can see that the Dingtao court is very unhappy with Cao Cao, this is to help Liu Bei suppress Cao Cao's plan.
On the other hand, Zhang Liang, who was very panicked, also received Liu Bei's superstition, promising that he would continue to unswervingly support Zhang Liang and Cao Cao's confrontation, and the two would form a substantial military alliance to jointly fight against Cao Cao from the north and south, and now that Yingchuan is in Liu Bei's hands, Liu Bei's support for Zhang Liang is more rapid and effective.
This made Zhang Liang finally breathe a sigh of relief, although Zhang Liang also knew that Tongbai Mountain was now a place like a crater, I am afraid it would be difficult to last, but there were officials and soldiers on all sides here, and I didn't know where to run if I wanted to!
Zhang Liang is like a beast in a cage, he can only bite Cao Cao desperately according to Liu Bei's arrangement, in order to get a glimmer of life, although Zhang Liang himself knows that this is not a long-term plan, and even drinking to quench his thirst, but does he have any other choice? Will anyone else help him escape from death like Fang Zhiwen helped his eldest brother? To be continued...
