It was said that Yuan Shao was discussing with everyone about the crusade against Cao Cao that day, and suddenly reported that Liu Bei had sent Sun Gan to come, but he didn't know what happened.

Yuan Shao entered.

Sun Qianjin saw him, explained his intentions, and presented Zheng Xuan's letter.

Yuan Shao asked Sun Qian to temporarily retire and stay in the post house for a while.

After Sun Qian went, Yuan Shao read Zheng Xuan's letter and thought to himself: Xuande helped Gongsun Zhan, and destroyed my younger brother Yuan Shu. However, Zheng Xuan is a contemporary sage, famous all over the world, he is highly respected, and he is a scholar, although he has not taken office, the world knows it. happened to be about to crusade against Cao Cao, and now seeing Zheng Xuan personally repairing the book, Zheng Shangshu's life is difficult to disobey, and he can't help it. He sent Zheng Xuan's letter to everyone to watch.

Tian Feng believes that after years of war, the people are tired, and there is no accumulation, so it is impossible to raise a large army. It is advisable to first show the Son of Heaven to exterminate Gongsun Zhan's great victory, if it is not through, then play Cao Cao to block the king's road, and then garrison Liyang (now Liyang, Huangshan, Anhui), in three years, the major event can be determined.

The judge believes that with Yuan Shao's divine martial arts, the strength of Hebei, and the letter written by Master Zheng Xuan, who is highly respected, the army to fight against Cao Cao is famous, and it is easy to do without delay.

Fu Zhu said: "The winning strategy is not to be strong. Cao Cao's decree strictly prohibited, Tuntian stored grain, and the soldiers refined, which was different from Gongsun Zhan's embarrassment. It is not advisable to give up the good plan now, but to raise an unknown teacher. ”

Guo Tu immediately retorted: "Definitely! Raising troops to crusade against Cao Cao, how can you say that the division is nameless? I hope that I can unite with Liu Bei from Zheng Shangshu's order to raise the righteousness, conform to the will of heaven, and conform to the people's feelings, which is really fortunate! ”

The four of them argued, and Yuan Shao hesitated.

Xu You and Xun Chen suddenly entered: "I heard that Zheng Shangshu has a book, why don't you decide early?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "We are discussing. ”

As if they were discussing, the two replied in unison: "Defeat the widow with the crowd, attack the weak with the strong, and ask the Han thief to help the royal family, the name is justified, the victory or defeat is visible, and you can't hesitate." ”

Yuan Shao said: "The two of them have a lot of knowledge, and what they say is exactly what I want. So he decided to march south.

So he asked someone to go to the post house to inform Sun Gan, asked Sun Gan to go back first, and asked Liu Bei to prepare to respond.

After Sun Gan went, Yuan Shao immediately allocated men and horses: trial and matching, Feng Ji as the commander of the army, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, Xu You as strategists, Yan Liang and Wen Chou as generals, 150,000 horse troops, 150,000 infantry, a total of 300,000 elite soldiers, Keri marched to Liyang.

Guo Tu said again: "Back then, with Ming Gong as the leader of the alliance to crusade against the Han thief Dong Zhuo, the world responded. Today, the Ming Dynasty will take a righteous crusade against the Han thief Cao Cao, and he should also list Cao Cao's crimes, gallop all over the country, cry out for the crimes, and order the Quartet, showing the momentum. ”

Yuan Shao said that he knew that Chen Lin was notorious, and he became the secretary, so he ordered him to be the secretary.

Chen Lin, whose name is Kong Zhang, is a native of Sheyang, Guangling (now Sheyang, Baoying, Jiangsu).

During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was the uncle of the country and the general He Jin.

He Jin wanted to summon local heroes to bring troops to Beijing to kill the eunuchs.

Chen Lin tried her best to oppose and dissuade her.

He Jin did not listen to the advice, insisted on going his own way, and insisted on bringing troops into Beijing from the local area to coerce him, as a result, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Beijing, established himself as a prince, abolished the young emperor, and established the emperor, and the social turmoil accelerated the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He Jin was also killed in the chaos.

After He Jin's death, Chen Lin took refuge in Jizhou, attached himself to Yuan Shao, and was treated favorably.

Chen Lin is talented, and Kong Rong, Wang Can, Xu Gan, Ruan Yu, Ying Ling, and Liu Zhen are equally famous, and are known as the "Seven Sons of Jian'an".

Kong Rong was born in the highest year, followed by Chen Lin.

Chen Lin witnessed the cannibalism of his relatives and eunuchs, Dong Zhuo's troubles, and experienced embarrassment and refuge life, sympathizing with the painful life of the people under heavy forced labor, and expressing sympathy for the people in his works.

His representative poem "Drinking Horses and Caves on the Great Wall" uses the old title of Yuefu to take the historical fact that the rulers of the Qin Dynasty drove the people to build the Great Wall as the background, and exposes the profound disasters brought to the people by endless forced labor through the dialogue between the husband and wife of the soldiers who built the city.

In the form of a dialogue between letters and letters, the poem reveals the inner world of the heroes and heroines and their deep concern for each other, and praises the noble sentiments of the husband and wife of the city builders.

Chen Lin's poem, with its concise and vivid language, is sincere and touching, and is respected by the world:

Drinking horses in the Great Wall Caves, the water is cold and hurts the bones of horses.

In the past, it was said that the officials of the Great Wall, be careful not to stay in Taiyuan!

The official work has its own process, and the sound of building harmony is built!

Men would rather die in fighting, how can they build the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is three thousand miles away.

There are many healthy and few in the border cities, and there are many widows in the inner houses.

Write books and inner houses, and marry and don't stay.

Be kind to your new aunt and always remember my late master!

Report to the borderland, what is the disdain of Jun Jin's words?

In the midst of calamity, what is the purpose of keeping his family?

Be cautious when giving birth to a boy, and breastfeed a girl.

Jun Du did not see the Great Wall, and the bones of the dead were supporting each other.

The knot is the king, and the heart is closed.

Knowing that the border land is bitter, how can a cheap concubine be self-satisfied for a long time?

Chen Lin's famous article "Wu Jun Fu", praising Yuan Shaoke's exploits in destroying Gongsun Zhan, was written quite magnificently, Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw it, proud of it, and trusted him more, and used it as a record room.

In this expedition against Cao Cao, Yuan Shao adopted Guo Tu's suggestion and ordered Chen Lin to be the secretary.

Chen Lin received the order, waved his pen, and wrote a crusade against Cao Cao for Yuan Shaocao.

From Dong Zhuo's rebellion to Yuan Shao's rebellion, "Zhuwen" is divided into two parts, including Cao Cao's "cruel" and "tyrannical" crimes during more than ten years, and has always been accompanied by the praise of Yuan Shao's "Shenwu" and "Qingming". The words are sharp, tragic and passionate; The chapter method is mostly exaggerated, compared with duality, catchy, agitated and emotional.

After Yuan Shao saw it, he was full of praise, and ordered the "Zhuwen" to be spread all over the prefectures and counties, and Zhang hung the Guanjin Pass, and immediately raised a large army to recruit Cao Cao.

It is said that Zheng Xuan wrote a letter to Yuan Shao asking for help for Liu Bei, and after Liu Bei and Chen Deng left, he felt that his body was not supported, so he got up and returned to his hometown.

Yuan Shao raised troops to crusade against Cao Cao, in order to strengthen his prestige, win the hearts of the people, show his prestige, and heard that Zheng Xuan had returned to his hometown, so he asked his son Yuan Tan to force Zheng Xuan to follow the army, and wanted to use Zheng Xuan's reputation to help the army.

Zheng Xuan had no choice but to follow Yuan Tan with his illness and walked to Yuancheng (now Daming County, Hebei), where his illness worsened and he could not go again.

Yuan Tan had no choice but to leave Zheng Xuan to recuperate in Yuancheng and report to Yuan Shao.

When Zheng Xuan was seriously ill and in danger of Yuancheng, he was still annotating "Zhou Yi".

A generation of scripture masters, died of illness in Yuancheng in June at the age of 74. This is a later story, so I won't mention it.

In addition, Chen Lin wrote for Yuan Shao to crusade against Cao Cao's "Text" and passed it to Xu Du, Kong Rong concluded from the extravagant sentences and style that it was written by Chen Lin.

At that time, Cao Cao had a head wind again, he was sick in bed, and after reading "Zhu Wen", he was terrified, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.

Cao Cao is not only an outstanding politician, but also an outstanding writer and the pioneer of a new situation in Jian'an literature. On the one hand, with creative works, he has created a new literary atmosphere by himself.

His poems are all lyrics of Yuefu, although they follow the ancient themes, but they are not because of the ancient meanings of the ancient words, but "destined for things", "ascending must be endowed, and creating new poems, and being orchestrated, all become movements," reflecting the new reality and presenting a new look; His writing is as creative as his poems, with concise and simple writing and a clear and straightforward style, and he is known as "the ancestor of transforming articles".

As an outstanding writer of the times, Cao Cao saw the sharp words, majestic spirit, and sharp crusade against his own "Writings", and couldn't help but sweat, surprised, and said to the strategists: "Those who grass this is outstanding in literature, and in today's world, there are less than ten people who can be compared with it, I don't know who this person is, who did it for?" ”

Kong Rong said: "Inferred from the style of writing, it should be written by Chen Lin and Chen Kongzhang. Chen Lin is now Yuan Shao's room, and he praises Yuan Shao and should do it for Yuan Shao. ”

Cao Cao heard that Chen Lin did it for Yuan Shao, turned his surprise into joy, and said with a smile: "Those who have literary talents should have martial arts as their backing." Although Chen Linwen is talented, Yuan Shaowu is slightly lacking and is not a cause for concern. ”

Everyone thinks that Yuan Shaodi has enough food and many soldiers, and he cannot be compared with the enemy.

Cao Cao remembered Guo Jia's theory of "ten victories and ten defeats", so he said: "I know Yuan Shao very well as a person, ambitious but lacking in wisdom, fierce on the surface but weak on the inside, resourceful but indecisive, forgetting his life for the sake of profit, jealous and less powerful, Nashi and jealous, many soldiers and unclear divisions, arrogance and inconsistent government orders, although the land is vast and the grain is abundant, the future will be mine." ”

Then he personally led the army to Liyang and resisted Yuan Shao.

Let's say that Yuan Shao raised an army of 300,000 to conquer Cao Cao, and he was eighty miles away from Liyang, with a deep ditch and a high base, and rejected Cao's army.

Because Xu Yu was unwilling to judge and lead the troops, frustrated and resentful that Yuan Shao did not use his strategy, they were suspicious and discordant, and did not try to forge ahead, plus Yuan Shao was suspicious and did not want to enter the army, from August to October, the two armies held each other without fighting.

Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao was defending without fighting, so he ordered Lü Bu to surrender his generals Zang Ba and others to defend Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and on the Bantun Bing River, Cao Ren's governor army was stationed in Guandu (now Zhongmu North, Henan), and led the army back to Xudu.

The road passed through Zhongmu, and the county ordered Ren Xun to welcome the county government to rest temporarily.

Cao Cao remembered that when he was conscripting Zhang Xiu, Wang Yuan offered his head as a scapegoat, and asked Ren Xun to lead the way, and Ren Jun went to Wang Yuan's tomb to pay tribute and comfort his family.

Then he ordered Ren Jun to supervise the grain and grass to meet the military needs, and taught Ren Xun to collect food, cotton clothes, military shoes and other military materials in Zhongmu to supply the soldiers of Guandu in winter and Yuan Shao's army for a long time.

Cao Cao secretly returned to Xudu, and ordered Shi Liu Dai, the chief of the air force, to be the front army, and Wang Zhong, the general of Zhonglang, to be the rear army, leading 50,000 troops, and going to Xuzhou to attack Liu Bei under the banner of prime minister.

Cheng Yu said: "Although Liu Dai has made meritorious contributions with the prime minister, he was made a marquis; Wang Zhong used to eat human flesh when he was the pavilion chief, although he was cruel and brave, and was worshiped as a Zhonglang general, but he was afraid that he would be difficult to defeat Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. ”

"Don't I know that the two of them are not Liu Bei's opponents, so let them beat me and bluff." Cao Cao said, and ordered Liu Dai and Wang Zhong: "Don't rush in, wait for Yuan Shao to be broken, and then attack Liu Bei." ”

The two of them were ordered to go. Exactly: waiting to drive the tiger and leopard, bluffing to capture the dragon. If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
