Xuzhou East China Sea.

Lozi Mansion.

The land of Huaisi is quite different from Qingzhou.

On the attic gimbal, Luo Qi looked north with his hands in his hands, and rubbed the map in his hands.

There was a map of Yanyu Qingxu on the map, as if the Central Plains was in his hands, and he muttered in a low voice: "Xuzhou is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and if you don't recapture Qingzhou, it will eventually be destroyed."

However, Cao Cao and Jiangdong are all looking at Huaisi, how difficult it is to look north, Han, where is your vitality? ”

Lozzy was worried.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of slightly hurried footsteps outside the house, and he looked out and saw the butler hurrying in.

He knew that there must be something urgent, so he hurriedly walked downstairs, and when Zhanxin saw it, he was immediately shocked and said, "Yuan Shao is king?" Why didn't Ah Yan persuade? ”

Luo Qi was very shocked, and Yuan Shao said that the king almost cut off the emperor's path.

Although he and Luo Yan are their own masters, they know each other well, and it is impossible for Luo Yan not to know.

But the facts were in front of him, Luo Qi never expected Yuan Shao to be king.

He rolled up the letter and put it in his sleeve, and said with a gloomy face: "Oh no, Ah Yan, Ah Yan, I didn't expect you and my brother to be right so soon." ”

He turned his head to the housekeeper and said, "Prepare the car immediately, I will go to meet the lord." ”

As the top figure in the Han family today, Liu Bei is an important support for Liu Xie's throne.

Cao Cao used the name of the imperial court to canonize Liu Bei as the second joint hussar general in the eightfold on the grounds that Liu Bei had made a meritorious crusade against Yuan Shu.

Canonized as the marquis of Tanxian County, where 3,300 households were eaten.

Fake Jieyue, leading Qing Xu affairs.

Liu Bei's status is further upward, and only the position of general and prime minister remains.

When Luo Qi hurriedly walked into the house, he saw Liu Bei already pacing anxiously in the house, and everyone in the room was talking.

When Liu Bei saw Luo Qi walking in in a hurry, he immediately greeted him and said urgently: "Ziqi, Yuan Shao is the king, Han Zuo is in danger!" ”

The other people in the room also gathered around, Liu Ye and the others had their own opinions, but now they were all staring at Luo Qi to listen to his thoughts.

Luo Qi walked into the room with Liu Bei's arm and sat down, looking at everyone in the room, Luo Qi slowly spoke: "Lord."

Do you know what Luo Guo has been doing when he was in Bangzhou? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

What did Luo Guo do?

Supporting the Zhou royal family?

The continuation of the Zhou Dynasty's Sheji Guozuo?

Luo Qi did not wait for everyone to answer, but said himself: "Luo Guo has done a lot of things, but in the final analysis, it is to maintain those rituals that can still be maintained.

Bang Zhou prospered because of the ritual music, so the country of Luo maintained the ritual music.

Bang Zhou prospered because of Ji Jiang, so Luo Guo defended Ji Jiang.

Until Lile and Ji Jiang collapsed, Bang Zhou was destroyed.

And now?

Is there any difference when dynasties are about to be destroyed since ancient times? ”

The smart man had already guessed what Lozzy was trying to say, and his eyes were full of light and brightness.

I saw Luo Qi's tone firm, and he said categorically: "Lord, today Yuan Shao is the king, tomorrow others will be the emperor, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and they are all called lonely, it is the future of the Han Zuo that the lord said."

Now when you raise a large army, destroy the pseudo-Zhao, show my Han life, defend my Han family, and set foot in Jizhou, so that the world knows that the Han family is still there! ”

Destroy the pseudo-Zhao and set foot in Jizhou!

Lozzi's words smashed straight into everyone's hearts like a hammer.

Who is Lozzi?

The eldest son of the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, his father was a model in the world and one of the leaders of the scholars.

What about Lozzi?

The impression he left on everyone was that he was a well-mannered scholar and a suave nobleman.

Now that this noble son has said such golden words, and said such murderous and awe-inspiring words, how can he not shock everyone?

Luo Qi's words completely spoke to Liu Bei's heart, but then he was worried: "Is Yuan Shao's strength too strong?" That's nearly three states. ”

Luo Qi immediately said: "Gaozu slashed the white horse and swore an oath, if it is not Liu but the king, the world will attack it."

Cao Mengde is now the prime minister and is in charge of the government, can he let Yuan Shao, who claims to be the king without authorization, stand under the same blue sky as me?

If so.

What qualifications does Cao Mengde have to serve as prime minister, why don't you send the emperor to Tan County, what does the lord think? ”

Luo Qi's voice fell, and Liu Bei immediately turned his head to Liu Ye and said: "Ziyang, among my subordinates, with you being the most anxious, are you willing to go to Xuchang to connect Cao Cao for me and discuss Yuan Shao together?" ”

When Liu Ye heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and bowed down and said: "Lord, Ye will not disgrace his mission!" ”

Liu Bei was silent for a moment, and then strode towards the courtyard outside, Luo Qi and the others followed behind him.

Liu Bei pointed to the blue sky and said loudly: "Everyone, if you are full of jackals today, whether the Han family can prosper is in our hands."

Forge ahead!

The capital of the Han Dynasty was never in Xuchang, but in Luoyang, and one day we waited for the recovery of the mountains and rivers, and then erected the battle flag of the Yan Han Dynasty again in Luoyang.

Work hard! ”

……

Xuchang.

Where this serious Han court was located, Cao Cao reported to Liu Xie the news that Yuan Shao was proclaimed king in Hebei, and Yan was proclaimed emperor and openly confronted the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie's face was extremely pale, he kept pacing in the palace, and said angrily: "Yanlin's wolf ambition is obvious.

Since I ascended to the pole, Yuan Shao has not changed his nature, and now he has become my Han rebel after all.

Prime Minister, immediately send troops, set foot in Jizhou, kill Yuan Shao, I want to raze his three clans! ”

Liu Xie's anger was hidden in the fear that could not be hidden, whether it was the Zhuxia kingdoms openly calling themselves emperors, or the Han princes openly breaking the white horse oath to become kings, it all made him feel that the crown of the emperor of the Han family on his head was unsafe.

The King of the Dead!

This word involuntarily appeared in his mind, for a king, is there anything more terrifying in this world?

The ministers in the palace were all indignant, and these old ministers of the Han family still had some strength.

In particular, there were some princes such as Liu Bei, Zhou Cang, and Liu Biao who echoed outside, and Cao Cao did not treat Liu Xie excessively.

He is not qualified to bully the Lord, unless he wants to be like Li and Guo Yan for 10,000 years and ruined.

In the face of Liu Xie's angry words, Cao Cao's majestic voice came out, and he said in a deep voice: "The minister's decree, this will be announced to the princes of the world to discuss Yuan Shao!" ”

Liu Xie came back to his senses from the fear of Yuan Shao being the king, and then both of them heard the sound of riding a horse outside, and the voice came from afar, "Your Majesty, Hussar General, Liu Bei, Marquis of Tan, Liu Xuande, is on the book!" ”

Here it comes!

Liu Bei!

Liu Xie's eyes flashed with a rather complicated look, both envy, gratitude, and jealousy of the complexity of his feelings for Liu Bei, which was simply indescribable.

……

Liu Ye stepped into the palace, holding Liu Xuande's recital in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the ministers are ready to enlighten."

Gaozu slashed the white horse as an oath, and if it was not Liu and the king, the world would attack it.

Today, Yuan Shao violated the oath, if the imperial court does not levy, will the authority of the imperial court be displayed from somewhere?

If Yuan Shao is not requisitioned, what will happen to the other princes in the world who are all kings?

Chen Liu Bei, a descendant of Gaozu, felt deeply saddened by this.

Please send heavenly soldiers quickly, recruit Yuan Shao, and cheer up the Han family! ”

Even if it's essentially a Cao-Liu alliance.

But on the surface, Liu Bei, a courtier, naturally cannot ally with Liu Xie, the emperor.

Liu Ye didn't know that this matter had just been discussed in the court, and he was about to say something, when he saw Liu Xie stand up directly and said loudly: "Tan Hou is really the mainstay of my Liu family, I once heard that at the end of Qin in the past, Emperor Fusu praised Zhang Han as the Optimus White Jade Pillar, and now Tan Hou is the Optimus White Jade Pillar of my Han Dynasty."

At the request of the Marquis of Tan, he also asked Ziyang to report back, and I will issue an edict to order the princes of the world to discuss Yuan Shao and defend my Han Sheji. ”

Liu Xie's words were arrogant, and Cao Cao saw that Liu Xie was pretending, so he shut up and didn't hit him in the face.

Liu Ye glanced at Cao Cao, and then at Liu Xie, with his ingenuity, he naturally knew what was going on, so he stopped talking.

……

Ten years of Jian'an.

A decree came out of the Xuchang court and was sent to the major princes of the world.

"The ancient sages once said that when the world is in turmoil, you can see who is the courtier who can act.

The ancient sages once said that when the country is in danger, it will be able to see who is the true loyal minister.

In the 300 years of the Han Dynasty, how many rebellious people have there been?

Dong Zhuo was killed in chaos in the world, but Dong Zhuo has never broken the oath of the white horse.

How rebellious was Yuan Shao?

He arrogated to be the king, and trampled on the merits of Emperor Gao and the Han Dynasty, can he be forgiven for such an act?

I thought it wouldn't be.

As a courtier of the Han family, he should be edicted to rebel and defend the Han family.

I was so angry that I decreed it.

Speak to the princes of the world.

Set foot in Hebei and kill Yuan Shao.

Just like destroying Yuan Shu, those who have high merit are all liehous! ”

……

Cao Cao and Liu Bei both made their attitudes clear, that is, they wanted to join forces to crusade against Yuan Shao.

Youji Qingxu Yanyu, the location of the six states is going to set off a big war again!

After receiving the order, Hanoi Taishou only felt that his scalp was numb, the gods were fighting, and his little shrimp was easily affected, but it was not okay not to stand in line, he hesitated again and again or chose to temporarily obey the orders of the imperial court, mobilize the army and join Cao Cao.

The intention is to spread to the south.

Spread to Yangzhou where it is.

Luo Chu put away his will in front of the Jiangdong ministers, and smiled at Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu: "The Han Emperor issued an edict, and since it is for the Han Chen, he naturally wants to send the edict out of Yangzhou.

Zibu, come to prepare the grain and grass needed by the army, Honshu knows that Jiangdong has not received enough harvest in these years, and you will have five years, so you must be prepared.

Gong Jin, you come to recruit Jiangdong athletes, Yuan Shaojun is strong, recruit 500,000 troops to go out, and Benzhou will also give you five years, be sure to bring the bravest athletes in Jiangdong to the battlefield.

The rest of the people, assisting Zibu and Gongjin, can you hear clearly? ”

For Luo Chu's words, the Jiangdong ministers couldn't help laughing, but after professional training, they naturally didn't laugh out loud, and they all said in a deep voice: "Obey!" ”

Luo Chu Shi Ran said to the imperial envoy: "Please also ask the envoy to return to Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, Jiangdong will try his best to crusade against Yuan Shao, he claims to be the king without authorization, Emperor Gao will punish him in the heavens, Benzhou believes in the cycle of heaven, he will die one day."

Ziyu, send the envoy out of Jiangdong, and make sure that Your Majesty knows the heart of my Jiangdong people to serve the country. ”

Zhuge Jin couldn't help but smile and came to the envoy of the court, and said loudly: "Your envoy, please." ”

As soon as the envoy of the imperial court left, the hall suddenly burst into earth-shattering laughter, almost tearing down the dome of the entire palace.

Qiao Wei smiled and said with a little worry: "Childe, Jiangdong is a blatant slap in the face of the imperial court, nothing big will happen, right?" ”

Lu Sulang laughed loudly: "Qiao Lao is really too worried.

Now that Yuan Shao is the king, this is the top priority of the imperial court, where is the time to pay attention to these disrespectful things such as us?

It's better to say that now is a great opportunity for me to Jiangdong.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei led the army to the north, and Huaisi was empty, wouldn't this be a good time to seize the foundation of the king's hegemony? ”

Zhang Hong's brows jumped when he heard this: "Isn't this secretly uniting with Yuan Shao?" Yuan Shao is a person who is the king and openly reverses the Han Dynasty. ”

Lu Su said disapprerovingly: "Everyone in the hall is an old minister of Jiangdong, Su thinks that if there is really an intention to prosper the Han family, it is impossible for him to still stand in the palace now, but right?" ”

The Jiangdong ministers looked at each other, but none of them said anything, Lu Su didn't care, continued to peddle his theory, and said loudly: "Yuan Shao established the Zhao State as a last resort.

But the independence of the princes is the trend of the times.

Unless Cao Cao and Liu Bei can pacify the chaotic princes of the Central Plains with lightning speed, so that the Central Plains will be unified.

But how hard is that?

Now Jiangdong has Jiangxia, Lujiang, Jiujiang three counties, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, all in the range of my Jiangdong sword, take advantage of Liu Bei's weakness, capture Huaisi, and then attack Jingzhou, possess the entire section of the Yangtze River.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.

Great things can be accomplished! ”

Lu Su's set of Jiangdong hegemony theory is quite famous in the small circle of Jiangdong.

He is an honest man, but he is an honest man with an extremely long-term strategic vision, and Wang Zuozhicai, who is rare in the Jiangdong forces.

Lu Su had spoken about hegemony many times in front of Luo Chu, but today Luo Chu suddenly thought of one thing.

Then the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, Luo Chu couldn't even control his expression, he asked the Jiangdong ministers: "Everyone, what Zijing said just now, do you think Cao Cao and Liu Bei know?"

If Cao Cao and Liu Bei knew, what would they do? ”

Quiet!

Deathly silence!

Even Lu Su, who was still talking just now, was silent for a moment, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

The matter that Luo Chu brought up was really terrible just a little thought.

Jiangdong has the Yangtze River natural danger as a dependence, as long as the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are not occupied, and are not afraid of the northern army.

But what about the three counties in Jiangbei?

Will Cao Cao and Liu Bei join forces to divide the three counties of Jiangbei first?

Luo Chu stood up from the main seat, and then slowly walked outside the hall, he thought about it and thought, and said slowly: "Cao Cao and Liu Bei are both heroes with long-term vision.

Yuan Shao and themselves are each other's worst enemies.

Before defeating Yuan Shao, neither of them will attack our Jiangdong, but they will definitely find other forces to tie us down.

Like what.

Liu Biao! ”

Luo Chu's voice echoed in the hall, and the Jiangdong ministers all frowned.

……

The development of things was beyond Luo Chu's expectations, or he only guessed half right, the imperial court was indeed ready to let Liu Biao balance Luo Chu, but it did not trust Liu Biao's ability.

Cao Cao's Ultimate Strategists calculated the threat level of Jiangdong, and the final result was second only to Liu Bei, and once Cao Liu and Yuan Shao went to war, Jiangdong would pose a mortal threat to Huaisi and Runan.

So Cao Cao united with Liu Beijun and led the army to rush to Jiangxia County, and Zhao Hong, the Taishou of Nanyang, who received the order of the imperial court, and Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou, also led the army to besiege Jiangxia County.

"The imperial court appointed the emperor's brother-in-law as the Jiangxia Taishou, this is to let my Jiangdong cede Jiangxia County out, so as to cut off my Jiangdong's tentacles extending to Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou!

The loss of Jiangxia County, it is extremely inconvenient for us Jiangdong to develop to Jingzhou and Huaisi, and the most important thing is that after losing Jiangxia, Lujiang and Jiujiang will be exposed to the threat of Runan County. ”

In the face of the sudden threat, Luo Chu frowned tightly, this kind of combination of vertical and horizontal means is really unguardable.

This was originally a method that should have been used to deal with Yuan Shao, but now it was used on himself, which really flattered him.

Luo Chu now felt like those monarchs of the Bang Zhou period, obviously swallowing the city, but he had to spit it out again.

Because the other countries have united, they can only cede what is not their own.

This is the case in Jiangxia County.

The imperial court assigned Jiangxia County to the Jingzhou Thorn History Department, naturally because in Jingzhou, it was able to balance the rest of the states, and he took Jiangxia County away, which was to break the balance of this part.

He didn't have the strength to establish a new balance, so he encountered the very embarrassing thing he is now.

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Childe, as long as you defeat the Jingzhou naval army, there is no problem in holding Jiangxia, the southern ships and northern horses, and the invincible cavalry in the Central Plains is not of much use to Jiangdong, where the water network is crisscrossed." ”

Zhou Yu thought that he was not talking big, he was really sure that he would be able to hold Jiangxia, maybe the casualties would be a little more tragic, but it would definitely make the imperial army hit a wall here.

will let them know that the iron wall of Jiangdong is not so easy to break through.

But Luo Chu shook his head and said, "Gong Jin."

You're a great commander, but don't let your talent for command drown out your intelligence.

When looking at problems, we should not use a static perspective to calculate the gains and losses of one city and one place, but should look at the overall situation and see the gains and losses of the world.

No amount of tactical victory can cover up the strategic defeat, just like the process of King Xiang and Emperor Gao fighting for the world, King Xiang was wrong from the beginning, so the final collapse was a doomed ending. ”

Zhou Yu and the others didn't expect that Luo Chu seemed to want to give up Jiangxia County, only to hear Luo Chu say with a little emotion: "Benzhou just figured out why Cao and Liu came to Jiangxia County with such a big battle.

Because Jiangxia County is like an extremely sharp dagger, and it is directly aimed at the vital point of Cao and Liu.

The reason why Cao and Liu were allowed to do so before was because they had armor to defend against daggers at the critical point, and they could not cause damage to them.

But what about now?

Both of them have to take their armor away and deal with Yuan Shao, then Jiangxia County will become something like a fish in the throat, and it will become a danger that will kill them.

Without breaking this dagger, it would be impossible for the two of them to fight with Yuan Shao. ”

Luo Chu's words were already very clear at this point, and the Jiangdong ministers were also stunned with a sense of abruptness.

Jiangxia County is more important to Cao and Liu than Jiangdong thinks!

Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask: "Aren't Cao Cao and Liu Bei worried about me, Jiangdong will never back down?"

They have lost too much strength in Jiangdong, how can they fight against Yuan Shao? ”

Lu Su sighed and said, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei know that Jiangxia County is not that important to Jiangdong.

Moreover, Cao Cao and Liu Bei also do not actually occupy Jiangxia, and even Liu Biao does not actually occupy Jiangxia, which will temporarily become a condominium zone, and a three-regardless zone.

This is an outcome acceptable to all parties.

In the end, we Jiangdong will definitely give up Jiangxia County, and let Cao Cao and Liu Bei go to fight Yuan Shao with peace of mind, so as to consume the strength of the Central Plains.

It's a conspiracy! ”

Lu Su really deserves to be a master of strategy, and Luo Chu described the plans of the entire court with a slight mention.

……

Flags cover the sky.

It was full of Chinese character flags, then Cao and Liu, and the flags with the official positions of Cao Cao and Liu Bei written on them.

Underneath these flags were smaller flags, the flags of generals who had the power to lead an army on their own.

No one can count exactly how many troops there are.

"Everyone, don't pass!"

"Prosperous Man!"

"If the prime minister goes first, he will definitely be able to conquer Hebei, and Jiangdong will arrive later."

With one after another farewells full of hypocritical enthusiasm, these elite armies slowly marched north, leaving Runan and Jiangxia for the real northern battlefield.

In Jiangxia County, the army of Jiangdong also slowly withdrew here by boat, Luo Chu looked at the big river, the waves crashed on the shore, and his mood was agitated for a while.

On the banks of the great river.

Liu Biao smiled at Luo Chu and said, "Gongzi Chu, I didn't expect that Jiangxia County, which you worked so hard to get, would lose it like this, it's really ridiculous and generous." ”

For Liu Biao, today can be regarded as a good breath of being eaten by the tiger's mouth.

Luo Chu was not angry at Liu Biao's ridicule, but laughed loudly: "Liu Jingsheng, do you know that when you shoot an arrow with a bow, the more the bowstring is pulled back, the more powerful the arrow can move forward?"

Today, the Jiangdong army left Jiangxia County, and when the Jiangdong army entered Jingzhou the next day, it was not only Jiangxia that it wanted, but Nanyang and Nanjun.

If there is a day when you, Liu Jingsheng, I am afraid that you can only go to the Yangtze River to bathe, and there is no place for you to stand in Jingzhou.

I heard that some people call you the dog of the household, but who is the household?

Could it be a household in Koto? ”

Luo Chu's level of ridicule is superb, and as soon as his voice fell, the Jiangdong ministers on the big ship laughed one after another, and Liu Biao was naturally angry and his nose was crooked.

He snatched the bow and arrows, took the bow and said angrily: "Gongzi Chu, suffer death!" ”

The arrows fell softly in the river, and they didn't even reach the bow of the boat, and there was another burst of laughter.

Sun Ce saw that Liu Biao belonged to the enemy, and his eyes were very red when he saw that Liu Biao dared to shoot an arrow, and immediately took a bow and an arrow, the arrow wind was tough, and the killing machine was awe-inspiring, and Huang Zhong, who was standing on Liu Biao's side, split the arrow with a knife.

The big ship of Jiangdong rode away on the wind and waves!

————

The incident of King Xiangwang of Yan Zhao was the direct fuse of the Second Zhuxia War, and when Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei stepped into the battlefield, no one would have thought that this was just the beginning. ——"History of the War in the Late Eastern Han Dynasty"
