Chapter 732: Anxious Zhang Miao
Three days later, the Iron Army, which had disappeared in the eyes of the people, showed its banner again, and 30,000 Iron Army cavalry infantry, under the leadership of Dian Wei, took Changping City in the south of Chen County in one fell swoop.
The purpose of the Iron Army's move is very obvious, that is, to continue to burn the war to the Central Plains and to the county, everyone thinks that this contains more or less resentment towards Cao Cao!
The last time the Iron Army took Xuchang, it can be said that it was a deliberate sneak attack, and there was an element of Kong Ling's incompetence and luck, but this time the Iron Army openly sent troops to take Changping, which was definitely obtained by strength, and there were players who happened to be in Changping who recorded the process of the Iron Army's siege of the city, which was indeed a real frontal attack, and relied on two thousand heavy infantry to take the city wall in one fell swoop.
Everyone has nothing to say about the combat effectiveness of the Iron Army, and of course, most of the hard-mouthed ones are full of sour scolding.
Yuan Shu didn't say anything about the action with the Iron Army, but he sent troops directly from Xuchang and captured the two cities of Fule and Yangxia in the north of Chen County, telling the world with facts that Yuan Shu had reconciled with the Iron Army, and was working together to attack Chen County, pointing at Qian County!
As for Zhang Miao, he is already sad at the moment, there is Zhang Xun in Zhongmu in the middle of the road looking at Chen Liucheng, Ji Ling in the north has been pressed to the original Wucheng, less than a hundred miles away from the sour date, now Xuchang in the south has changed hands, Yu She's troops have entered Yanling in the north, and Qiao Rui has taken Fule Yangxia, and he has been surrounded on three sides!
Now Zhang Miao definitely didn't have the idea of fighting Yuan Shu, but hurriedly sent messengers to Liu Dai and Bao Xin for help, but unfortunately, Liu Dai and Bao Xin were having a headache for Yuan Shao in Jinan at the moment, and they could only be powerless to ask for help from Zhang Miao!
In desperation, Zhang Miao's heart was crossed, and he directly sent an envoy to Jinyang, wanting to put pressure on Yuan Shu through King Chen Liu, who had not yet ascended the throne, after all, Liu Xie is still King Chen Liu, but the nominal lord of Chen Liu, of course, whether Zhang Miao is sick and rushed to the doctor, or wants to fully cooperate with Ding Yuan, it is difficult to say now.
For Zhang Miao, Yuan Shu is not looking down on him, Yuan Shu is now facing the big enemy is Cao Cao, therefore, of course, the raider Chen Jun will also put pressure on Zhang Miao by the way, wanting to force Zhang Miao to fall to himself, but his most fundamental purpose is to threaten Qian Jun and not let Cao Cao develop smoothly.
Receiving Zhang Miao's request for help, Ding Yuan also had a headache, although the situation in the state is now over the crisis on the surface, but the east of the state is the Taihang Mountain, and the mountains are the territory of the Yellow Turban Army, and now the focus of the Yellow Turban Army is in Jizhou, and he can't take care of the west of the state, but Ding Yuan can't take it completely lightly.
Although the territory in the north is large, but it is the time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, the war north of Yinshan is still going on, although the involvement is not very large, but after all, it is also necessary to defend with troops, the south of Yinshan has just started, although it has a thriving attitude, but it takes time to develop.
There is also his own elbow and armpit trouble Zhang Yang, after the announcement of the edict, the support of Zhang Yang's and the state clan is obviously decreasing, after all, now the state has a righteous reputation, Ding Yuan is even more prestigious, and in digging Ding Yuan's corner of the Zhang Yang, it is very unauthentic, if the new son of heaven ascends the throne, it is also possible to directly beat Zhang Yang into a traitor, so these treacherous clans have begun to redistribute the stakes.
Although the situation is improving, Ding Yuan still needs to garrison the army to guard against Zhang Yang, and even if necessary, directly attack or expel him, in fact, Hedong is a non-clustered party, where should Zhang Yang be driven away, as a shield for himself and Dong Zhuo.
As for Chen Liu, although Zhang Miao's proposal is quite tempting, Ding Yuan really can't eat such a large territory now, and there is a Gongsun Zan in the middle, and Zhang Miao's proposal is actually a bit weird, maybe Zhang Miao just wants his own army to help him consolidate his rule! In the end, due to the relationship between regions, Zhang Miao will always be out of Ding Yuan's control?
"Father-in-law, are you in such a hurry to recruit the child back? Do you want to do something to Zhang Yang? ”
"Hehe, don't worry, drink saliva and rest first, it's not a matter of publicity, to defeat Zhang Yang, Wen Yuan alone is enough, I don't have to work my son."
Lu Bu grinned, sat down naturally, took the tea handed by the maid, drank it all in one gulp, and then put the tea cup on the wooden tray in front of him, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Father-in-law, what is the matter?" ”
"Look at this, this is a letter from Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, he asked us for help? You say, are we helping or not helping? ”
Lu Bu took the letter handed by Ding Yuan, the look on his face was quite surprised, it was obvious that Zhang Miao's request for help was a little inexplicable, even if the two families had a basis for cooperation, they were not geographically border!
Lu Bu did not rush to express his position, but unfolded the letter and read it carefully, and Ding Yuan did not urge, but silently stroked his long hair and pondered.
After a long while, Lu Bu slowly raised his head and looked at Ding Yuan and said, "Father-in-law, there seems to be some bad taste in this, Zhang Miao is very selfish!" Does he want us to keep the house for him? When are we anymore? ”
"Well, this is obvious, after all, Chenliujun is an enclave for us, if we don't rely on Zhang Miao and the local clan strength, there is almost no way to gain a foothold, and Zhang Miao obviously saw this, so he proposed this kind of superficial refuge, but it is actually a plan to take advantage of it."
Lu Bujian raised his eyebrows, and the power on his body came out: "Since this is the case, we directly refute him as 1."
"It's not that simple, Zhang Miao is losing his sincerity to His Majesty, how can we rashly refuse, if we refuse, then in the future, if you want to serve Your Majesty, how will the people who serve Your Majesty really look at Your Majesty?"
The majesty in Ding Yuan's mouth refers to King Chen Liu, who has not yet ascended the throne, Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this is indeed a problem! Zhang Miao, this guy is really hateful, and he actually hid this black trick.
Could it be that I can only honestly go to Zhang Miao's home care home? If all the princes of the world used this method, wouldn't they have died unjustly!
Of course, this is also Lu Bu's thoughts, Ding Yuan means that this matter is at the threshold of the new emperor's accession to the throne, so he will have scruples, if he misses this time, as long as the Son of Heaven issues an edict to expose and refute it, it will naturally be able to make Zhang Miao steal chickens and rice, so Zhang Miao's strategy this time is to exploit the loophole of the new emperor's urgent need for support to ascend the throne.
Looking at Lu Bu's changing face, it is obvious that Lu Bu has not figured out the Tao inside, it seems that Lu Bu is still far from qualified politically, in this case, how can he go home to retire with peace of mind! Ding Yuan sighed quietly.
"Don't think about it first, Zhang Miao's approach is only useful at the juncture of His Majesty's accession to the throne, and if you change the time, the Son of Heaven can directly issue an edict to mediate and reprimand, so you don't have to worry about this matter."
Lu Bu's face turned red, in politics, he still can't play it!
"So, what does my father-in-law think we should do?"
"I summoned Feng Xian to come back, just to ask Feng Xian, can you go to the Central Plains in person? And how many troops can we pull out? ”
Lu Bu was stunned, didn't this make Zhang Miao succeed? Or does the stepfather have something else in mind?
"There is Wenyuan in the south, you can worry free, there is Cheng Lian Lao Cheng in the north, there is definitely no problem in dragging Helian, there is Hao Meng in the west, it is not a problem to suppress the sporadic Hu bandits, there is a righteous father in the middle of the road, the child can indeed be withdrawn, and the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized are about 30,000 if they are pure cavalry, and if there are more, it may have an impact."
Ding Yuan's brows stretched a little, and he nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, then after I go to His Majesty, Feng Xian will go to the Central Plains for a walk." ”
"But the Father-in-law"
"Hehe, Feng Xian was worried that he had become Zhang Miao's guardian dog? This is his idea, not ours, we need to weaken the power of the Central Plains clan in order to be able to regain control of them, so Feng Xian will go to the Central Plains to fight for them, the most important thing is to kill people for them, consume their vital strength, and then match the siege of the surrounding princes, Zhang Miao will have to become a real refuge when the time comes, or he can gain more, the key is to see which step Feng Xian can do? ”
Ding Yuan's request can be said to be very low, it can also be said to be very high, the original intention is to go to the Central Plains to kill people, consume the strength of the Central Plains clan, and lay the foundation for His Majesty to sweep the Central Plains in the future, and further, if Lu Bu has this superb political ability, with his strong military strength, he should be able to unite and win over a group of people in the Central Plains, if so, maybe Lu Bu can play a different sky in the Central Plains.
Lu Bu's face slowly became excited, but then he frowned, and after figuring out the joints, Lu Bu not only had strong expectations for himself Yang Wei Zhongyuan, but also had no confidence in whether he could meet his father-in-law's requirements and create a world in the Central Plains.
"Fathers and children should do their best1
Ding Yuan stared at Lu Bu tightly, although Ding Yuan finally decided to let Lu Bu go to the Central Plains to break through, but thinking of Lu Bu's character weaknesses, he was still very worried, and it was not appropriate to hit Lu Bu's self-confidence too much at this time, Ding Yuan had to endure the words of the command, and wait until Lu Bu opened up the situation in the Central Plains, and then remind and admonish a little bit!
It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world! I'm afraid the only ones who can plan for others like this are their parents!
"Well, I believe that with my ability, I will be able to run rampant in the Central Plains, but you need to have some scruples when you act, don't let Zhang Miao find a handle to attack you, otherwise you will be embarrassed in the Central Plains, and you will waste this opportunity."
Lu Bu nodded: "Which of them is more important and which is less The child understands, although the father-in-law can rest assured1."
However, Ding Yuan still couldn't put his mind at ease, in fact, his parents were like this, Ding Yuan sighed lightly, the emotions in his eyes were very complicated, and he looked at Lu Bu for a long time before he smiled and said: "Feng first take the pen and paper, I will put it on the table, this matter should not be delayed, the situation in the Central Plains changes quickly, and it will change later1!" ~!
