The Legend of Diaoyutai - Ninety-six Ninety-Six Goddess of Victory, Goddess of Peace (14)

There is no thrilling battle in this chapter, but it is a variety of preparations and deployments before the decisive battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

First of all, Liu Bei wants to occupy the commanding heights of public opinion.

In Weiyang, a newly established mandala, the soldiers of the Shu army are listed under the altar, and the civil and military generals on the altar are accompanied.

On the altar, Liu Bei sat on the chairman's seat.

Fa Zheng read out an important document: Liu Bei is the king of Hanzhong and the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

"Pingxi General Duting Marquis Ma Chao, General Zuo Leader Shi (Ling) Zhenjun General Xu Jing, Battalion Sima Chen Pang Xi, Yi Cao engaged in Zhonglang Army Discussion Zhonglang General Minister, Military Division General Zhuge Liang ,...... and so on one hundred and twenty people, and the above words said: ...... Today's society is difficult, anxious for Longshu, Cao swallows the Son of Heaven outside, and the remnants of the group inside,...... The ministers used the old classics to seal the king of Hanzhong, worship the great Sima, Dong Qi and the six armies, rectify the alliance, and wipe out the rebels...... Then the success is established, and the ministers retreat to correct the sin, although there is no hatred in death. ”

The Fa Zheng has been read out.

Xu Jing knelt down to offer the crown and put the crown on Liu Bei.

The original text is very long, and the ellipses are a large number of quotations from the classics, traitorous ministers plotting against usurpation of power, and loyal ministers setting things right. It is worth noting that Ma Chao ranked first, indicating Liu Bei's attention and expectations for Ma Chao.

And Zhuge Liang ranked fifth, and he didn't see any special status.

Liu Bei wore a crown on his head and a royal robe, and stood up to read out the Emperor Shu of the Han Dynasty: "...... Dong Zhuo made a chaotic order, and since then, the group of murderers has been rampant and ruined. …… Only Cao Cao, who has not been eliminated for a long time, has encroached on national rights, and is extremely chaotic. Chen Xi and the cavalry general Dong Cheng tried to conspire against Cao, but the matter was not secret, and he was framed. The more the ministers sowed, the more loyalty and righteousness failed, so they had to make the exercise extremely rebellious, the queen was killed, and the prince was harmed. The clan is weak, and the imperial family has no position. Considering the ancient style, according to the false power, the minister Sima Hanzhong Wang...... When the bureaucrats saw the persecution, they forced the ministers to be righteous...... Obey the public opinion, worship the seal, and worship the prestige of the country,...... Try your best to lose sincerity, reward the six armies, lead the group to righteousness, and when the weather is good, fight against the fierce rebellion, and repay the ten thousand points. ”

These two documents are actually "letters to the people of the whole country" and "declaration of war" against Cao Cao.

Here, Liu Bei is called the king of the Great Sima Hanzhong, not only in terms of official rank, he can confront the prime minister Cao Cao, the king of Wei, but also compares himself with Liu Bang back then, showing his orthodox status. shows that his command is a righteous army that "supports the Han family and eradicates the ****".

Liu Bei denounced Cao Cao's **** thief, and claimed that he had been fighting against **** since Dong Zhuo, and he was the planner of the "Edict of Clothes" back then, and he had always fought against Cao Cao.

Liu Bei called on the people of the whole country that the time was ripe for the whole country to take action to bring down Cao Cao.

Kuang Fu Han room, eradicate ****.

On and off the altar, there were cheers and slogans: "Kuang Fu Han Room, eradicate ****!" ”

Liu Bei sent these two documents to the whole country, hoping to get a response from the people of the whole country.

It is often said that Cao Cao has a time, Sun Quan has a favorable location, and Liu Bei has a person who has peace.

After Liu Bei's two documents were sent to the whole country, Liu Bei's people and advantages were particularly highlighted.

Influenced by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", many people believe that the Sun-Liu alliance was first destroyed by Sun Quan in order to seize Jingzhou. In fact, this is not in line with historical records. Sun Quan attaches great importance to the Sun-Liu Alliance, and for the Sun-Liu Alliance, Sun Quan even often sticks his hot face to other people's cold butts, and often swallows his anger.

At that time, Soochow had been recuperating for a long time and was ready to plunge into a national war at any time.

The soldiers of Eastern Wu were very angry at Guan Yu's arrogance and contemptuous attitude, and almost all the important generals privately approached Sun Quan to ask for an attack on Jingzhou.

The Sun family, from Sun Jian, Sun Ce, to Sun Quan, were all loyal to the Han Dynasty. The reason why Sun Quan especially cherished and cherished the Sun-Liu alliance was because during the Chibi War, he saw that almost all the civil and military officials up and down believed that under the oppression of Cao Cao's super powerful military force, it was okay to surrender to Cao Cao. But this is against the political beliefs of three generations of the Sun family.

At this critical juncture, Sun Quan discovered that Liu Bei was actually a like-minded person with him. Moreover, after cooperating with Liu Bei, Soochow actually achieved a huge victory, far exceeding the original imagination. Therefore, Sun Quan cherishes the Sun-Liu alliance very much, and is especially looking forward to cooperating with Liu Bei again like the Red Cliff War to defeat the common enemy Cao Cao one by one.

In the end, Sun Quan overrode the public opinion and personally led the Eastern Wu army to attack Hefei amid the call of the civil and military generals to crusade against Guan Yu. Resolutely responded to Liu Bei's two "Letters to the People of the Whole Country", and expressed Soochow's greatest support for the Sun-Liu Alliance with practical actions.

The mighty warships of Soochow went down the Yangtze River and pointed directly at Hefei.

The Soochow army fiercely attacked Hefei.

At this time, anti-Cao movements across the country rose one after another, wave after wave. Around Cao Cao's capital, Xudu, it was largely controlled by rebel armies who claimed allegiance to Guan Yu.

Cao Cao was a very strategic man. He knew that after he gave up Hanzhong and lost Shangyong, Liu Bei's next offensive must be launched by Guan Yu in Jingzhou, the target must be Wanluo, and the battle must break out first in Fan Xiang.

Cao Cao himself retreated from Hanzhong, although he did not go as fast, but he ordered Yu Ban Pang De to lead the Seventh Army to gallop to the front line of Fanxiang. Support Cho In.

Cao Cao also knew that his life limit was approaching, and in order to prevent accidents, he had to firmly control several armies with combat effectiveness in the country. So Cao Cao transferred all the elite troops from all over the country to Mopo. One by one, this is a place almost equidistant from Xudu and Fancheng Wancheng.

Another place where Cao Cao's elite troops gathered was in Yecheng. This was Cao Cao's strategic rear, and Cao Cao specially sent his "crown prince" Cao Pi to sit in the town, so that Cao Pi could succeed to the throne safely and smoothly without interference.

Because Soochow has been in the south of the Yangtze River for decades, it has a strong naval army. However, Dongwu has a fatal weakness in the military, that is, Dongwu does not produce war horses, and Cao Cao has always imposed a strict embargo on horses in Dongwu, so Dongwu does not have a decisive charge iron cavalry in the era of cold weapons. Sun Quan attacked Hefei several times, and after achieving great results, he was defeated by the iron cavalry and tiger army of Zhang Liao, a famous general under Cao Cao.

Sun Jian raised troops in Shandong, Sun Quan was born in Xiapi, Sun Quan has special feelings for Shandong, from the names given by Sun Quan for his two beloved daughters, Princess Dahu is Sun Luban, and Princess Xiaohu is Sun Luyu, you can know. And if Sun Quan can take Hefei and Xuzhou, he can take Pi directly. When Sun Quan arrived in the north, he could get the war horse that Sun Quan dreamed of and form the iron cavalry of Eastern Wu. (This is something that Eastern Wu could not get even if he captured Jingzhou.) In this way, the Eastern Wu army could compete with Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's army in the big chess game of the Central Plains.

The Eastern Wu army attacked Hefei, and the Cao army in Hefei could no longer hold on.

At this time, Zhang Liaojun, which Cao Cao used to deal with the Eastern Wu army, was stationed in Juchao, very close to Hefei. However, Cao Cao, who had a limited lifespan, currently wanted to maintain absolute control over the elite troops, and Cao Cao did not want to send the elite Zhang Liao troops to the Hefei front, but wanted to transfer Zhang Liao to Mopo.

Therefore, under the strong attack of the Eastern Wu army, the fall of Hefei was a matter of time.

In 219 AD, Liu Bei sent Sima Qianwei, the former head of Yizhou, to Jingzhou to convey Liu Bei's instructions to Guan Yu.

Please note that whether Fei Shi set off from Hanzhong or Sichuan, in a month's time, Fei Shi made a round trip. This fact slapped some historians who beautified the round for Zhuge Liang in the face. Their argument is that during the seven months that Guan Yu waited on the front line of Fanxiang and in Maicheng, the Shu Han side (Zhuge Liang) did nothing at all, and the reason why Guan Yu did not aid a soldier and a grain was due to the high mountains and long roads in ancient times and the inconvenient transportation, so they did not receive the information that Guan Yu was fighting bloody and hard battles on the front line, and it was really nonsense!

Fei Shi smiled and said to Guan Yu, "The prince is invited." I haven't seen you for a long time, and the lord misses the prince, so he specially instructed the prince to greet the prince (Fei Shizi). ”

Guan Yu said brightly: "The public is invited." Under the favor of the Lord, I am afraid of sincerity. Please tell the lord that Yun Chang ate well, slept soundly, and everything was fine. Only the old wound on Cao Ren's arm with the poisoned arrow will often hurt in cold days

That's it, it's not in the way. I would like to ask the public move, it is not far away, it must be the lord's important order. ”

Fei Shihaha laughed and said, "Junhou, it's a great thing. The prince listened to the seal. ”

Guan Yu knelt down and said, "Minister Guan Yu is here." ”

Fei Shi said: "General Guan Yu has made outstanding achievements, and he is a former general. Hanzhong Wang Bei. ”

Guan Yu thought for a while and said, "Former general? And then there is still a post-general? ”

Fei Shi smiled and said: "Junhou, and the right general Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide,"

Guan Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Fei Shi continued: "General Zuo, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi. ”

Guan Yu nodded and asked, "Then who is General Hou?" ”

Fei Shi said: "After the general Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng. ”

Guan Yu suddenly became annoyed, stood up and said, "General Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng?!" The big husband will not be in the same column as the veteran! ”

Guan Yu put his hands behind his back, pacing around as if nothing had happened, refusing to worship.

Seeing this, Fei Shi knew that Guan Yu's arrogance couldn't turn around for a while.

Fei Shi said with a smile: "The public is just a member of the envoy, a person who holds the title." The prince was not worshipped, and the public act returned to his life. However, if you regret this move of the prince and marquis, I am afraid that you will regret it later. ”

When Guan Yu heard it, Fei Shi's voice was far-reaching, he stopped, and looked at Fei Shi.

Fei Shixiao asked: "The person he uses is not a single person. In the past, Xiao He and Cao participated in Gaozu (Liu Bang) since childhood, but Chen Ping and Han Xin fled and later defected to Gaozu. May I ask the prince, who is the highest among these four people in terms of their official ranks? ”

Guan Yu replied, "Of course, Han Xin is the highest official rank. ”

Fei Shi nodded and smiled: "Has the prince heard that Xiao He and Cao Shen have complaints?" ”

Guan Yu nodded and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Fei Shi nodded and said: "At the time of today's Kuangfu Han family and eradication of ****, the king of Hanzhong awarded the meritorious person of the Han family to Longchong because of his current merits, but how can the depth of personal friendship be as high as that of the prince?" ”

Guan Yu listened and nodded.

Fei Shi continued: "Besides, the king of Hanzhong and the prince are like one, sharing weal and woe, and sharing blessings and misfortunes. Foolishly think that the prince should not count the rank of the official, and the number of lords is also meaningful. ”

Guan Yu was greatly sensed and asked, "Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, have the old generals made great contributions recently?" ”

Fei Shi nodded and smiled: "The old general Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng showed their might in Hanzhong, attacked the mountain at night, split Xiahou Yuan with the strength of Dingjun Mountain, annihilated the Wei army, and attacked the granary of Beishan, killing the Wei army in fear. It is the first great hero of the Lord's fair determination of Hanzhong. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he was greatly impressed and immediately knelt down to worship.

Fei Shi awarded the edict and the scepter to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu got up and thanked Fei Shi: "Yun Chang was obsessed for a while, and he almost missed a big event. Thanks to the public to wake up, and come to have a drink of three glasses, and then come to talk about national affairs. ”
