Chapter 299: Who Annexes Whom?
After Liu Jian left, Luo Jun, the minister of Chen State, came to visit Liu Chong.
"Can the king tell Liu Jian about the strategy of letting him secretly go out of the city and steal the head of the enemy army?"
Liu Pet picked up the two-stone hard bow on a wooden shelf in the hall, pulled it away vigorously, and used it to exercise his arm strength.
After pulling a few times, Liu Pet put down the hard bow again and said, "The widow has already said Luo Xiang's plan, and Liu Deran also agreed, and he didn't have any doubts."
Luo Jun was very pleased when he heard the news:
"It is not in vain that the king took the initiative to provide Liu Deran with grain and grass, and also accepted Liu Deran to come to Yangxia, so that he could leave the Yellow River ferry and dare to come with confidence, now Liu Jian has great trust in the king, as long as he waits a little longer and coaxes him out of the city, then the 20,000 people under his command can be swallowed by the king!"
Liu Chong's expression did not change, but after listening to Luo Jun's words, a bit of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Liu Pet has no son-in-law, after his death, Chen Guo will be expelled from the country, but he did not choose to lie down, but chose to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Rebellion of the Princes, colluding with Luo Jun, the prime minister of Chen Guoguo, to accumulate troops, accumulate food and salary, build crossbows, and accumulate strength, in order to be able to give his own vein and create a new world.
If there is a big chaos today, the Kanto Mushou and Dong Zhuo have dealings, the Son of Heaven is young, and the Queen Mother is also a woman...... Liu Chong felt that as a prince of the clan with strong roots, if he could find an opportunity to enter Beijing to support the government and control the power, then even if the Chen State was expelled from the country in the future, then his lineage could completely gain a foothold in the world, and even his Chen Wang's lineage could be better developed.
Maybe when the young son of heaven of this generation dies, his descendants will inherit the throne of the king.
It's a beautiful idea.
Liu Pet has a certain political vision, but at the same time, his political ideas are not mature enough, so he has created such a dream king who has no political means and can only understand the current situation to recruit troops and seek opportunities to enter Beijing.
Although Chen Guo has developed to the present, although there are many soldiers and horses, after all, because of the limitations of the county town controlled by Liu Chong and Luo Jun, their soldiers and horses have no way to move forward.
And the battle between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao is in full swing, once Dong Zhuo is defeated, then Liu Chong will definitely not hesitate to lead his troops into Luoyang City, with the respect of his princes and kings, in the name of King Qin's escort, imitating filial piety Dong Zhuo to control the Son of Heaven in the palm of his hand.
That's why he gave himself the title of "Auxiliary General".
This is to follow the path of the regent.
However, even if Dong Zhuo was defeated, with Liu Chong's current strength, it would be too difficult to rush into Luoyang and take the Son of Heaven into his own hands.
After all, the upper limit of what he can mobilize now is only 10,000 people.
It was rumored outside that he had 100,000 soldiers, which were all spread by Luo Jun, in order to build momentum for Liu Chong, hoping that Liu Chong could attract heroes and celebrities from all over the world to vote in Chen State.
But it's a pity that the arranged by Luo Jun for Liu Pet is a bit big, so the effect of attracting heroes from all over the world to vote is not obvious.
There are a lot of people who eat and drink, and there are really few real talents.
It was at this time that Liu Jian sent a letter requesting that he wanted to join forces with King Chen in Yangxia to jointly resist Dong Zhuo's army.
According to common sense, it is impossible for King Chen to agree to Liu Jian to lead his troops here.
Obviously, once Liu Jian led his troops into Yangxia, then King Chen would have to unconditionally supply Liu Jian with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.
If you don't give it, it will be easy to intensify the contradiction, Liu Jian's subordinates can recruit a lot of generals, if he uses King Chen to cut off his food as an excuse to forcibly seize the governance of Yangxia County, then Liu Chong really has no way at all.
In history, there are indeed such examples, such as Han Fu and Yuan Shao.
But if Liu Jian is not accepted, once the matter spreads, it will indeed have a certain impact on Liu Chong's reputation.
After all, if you dig deeper, Liu Jian can be said to be the benefactor of all the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty.
And Liu Jian's reputation and reputation are indeed very good.
is also a member of the Han family, at this moment, if Liu Chong does not accept it, there is
I can't say anything.
If Liu Jian comes, he will take advantage of him, but if he doesn't let Liu Jian come to Yangxia, he will lose his reputation, and Liu Chongke at that time was really a little difficult.
But it was at this time that Chen Guoguo's prime minister Luo Jun gave Liu Pet an idea.
"If the king wants to enter Luoyang in the future, there is a shortage of elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command, if Liu Deran leads the troops to come, and the king designs to take the soldiers under Liu Jian's command, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings?"
These words woke up Liu Pet!
He lacks soldiers and horses at the moment, but Liu Jian has soldiers under his command, and now that he is here, won't he send soldiers and horses to the door?
Merely......
It's just that it's not easy.
The method provided by Luo Jun to Liu Chong was that as long as Liu Jian came to Yangxia, he was not afraid that this matter would not be successful!
Because Liu Jian had just defeated Niu Fu and was deeply hated by Dong Zhuo, Luo Jun estimated that as long as Liu Jian came, Dong Zhuo's pursuing soldiers and horses would inevitably follow!
At that time, Liu Jian was in Liu Chong's territory, as long as Liu Chong used these reasons such as "horn momentum" and "capture the thief and capture the king", Liu Jian was sent out of the city, and then secretly leaked the news, so that Liu Jian outside the city died at the hands of the Xiliang army, and then the soldiers and horses in Liu Jian's city became rootless, and Liu Chong could take over in the name of Liu Jian's uncle, the prince and the prince of the clan.
This is purely an empty glove white wolf.
Although there are indeed uncertain variables in this, Liu Pet and Luo Jun obviously belong to the kind of more fanatical speculators, as long as they are sure of something, they dare to go!
After Liu Jian returned to his residence, he immediately ordered someone to bring a man named "Ma Jie".
In this kind of matter, Liu Jian feels that Jia Xu, who is known as "Ma Jie", has more ability to see things thoroughly than himself.
Sure enough, after listening to Liu Jian's words, Jia Xu immediately said: "King Chen is really not a good person, he wants to use the excuse to embezzle the lord's soldiers and horses, and in the future, he can gather soldiers and horses to go west to Luoyang to seize the Son of Heaven."
What Jia Xu said, Liu Jian can think of it more or less.
"It's just that I never thought that this King Chen would have such great ambitions, and for this ambition, he even wanted to stretch his hand to my soldiers, which is really hateful."
Jia Xu said: "Therefore, it is not a pity for such a despicable and cunning man to die, and the general does not need to care about the friendship of the same clan with him, and now he can be killed by mutiny in the city!"
"In this Yangxia City, King Chen still has 10,000 elite soldiers and thousands of strong crossbows, and there are a lot of soldiers and horses with their own grain and grass...... Kill him! Take all these things in your hands, and let the general dispatch them uniformly, but you are not afraid that you will not be able to stop the Xiliang soldiers."
"It's better than having two commanders in command and dispatch on two roads, and it's much safer to come."
As soon as Jia Xu's words were finished, he saw Liu Jian suddenly stretch out his hand and slap the table in front of him, with an angry expression on his face.
"I served him as an uncle, but he plotted to kill me, it was really in vain that I had a sincere heart, this person is not worthy of the surname Liu."
Jia Xu heard this...... Silence.
Anyway, up to now, whether people are good or not, whether they are worthy of the surname Liu or not, it is up to you to say what you say.
"General, I don't know who is the pioneer of Xiangguo's side to attack Yang Xiaxia?"
"It's Hua Xiong who is the first, followed by Hu Zhen and Lu Bu."
When Jia Xu heard this, he suddenly clapped his hands: "If Hua Xiong leads the troops to come, then this battle will be easy to fight."
"Why?"
"Among the generals of Xiliang, this person is the most brave and fierce, and at the same time the most scheming, I expect Liu Pet this time, he must not want to face the enemy with Xiangguo, after he annexes the general's soldiers and horses, he will negotiate peace with Xiangguo, and Xiangguo does not want to have more branches at this juncture, if you know the death of the general, the Xiliang army will withdraw, this is the situation that Liu Pet wants to see the most."
"Therefore, as long as the general determines where to station troops after leaving the city, Liu Chong will inevitably send a letter to Hua Xiong to inform General Hua Xiong of his whereabouts."
Liu Jian sneered, "It's a pity that he can't send a messenger."
Jia Xu said, "No, the general must let him send an envoy to Huaxiong, and let his envoy go to Huaxiong.
When he returned after seeing Hua Xiong, the general must capture this envoy outside the city, and use this person as a witness to accuse Liu Chong of plotting to kill his clan relatives."
"As for Hua Xiong's side, if he gets Liu Chong's letter, with his resourcefulness, if he can't see the flaw, he will definitely not be suspicious, and he can use this matter to design him later."
Jia Xu's scheming in this regard really made Liu Jian bow down.
When it comes to intrigue and trickery, it is estimated that there are few people in the world who can be more thoughtful than Jia Xu.
"Wen He's plan is very good, not only King Chen, but even Hua Xiong has calculated it...... Good, very good! King Chen treats me unjustly, so there is no need for me to be polite to him! This time, I rightly swallowed his soldiers and horses, as well as his grain and grass."
When Jia Xu heard Liu Jian say this, he felt a little speechless again.
Swallow it...... I have to say something natural.
The next day, Liu Jian went to see Liu Pet and informed him that he was willing to lead 3,000 elites out of the city and go to the Langdang Canal west of Yangxia to garrison troops.
And the Langdang Canal, in the former Han Dynasty, has another name, that is, the chasm.
Chen Wang Liu Chong was originally a little worried that Liu Jian would bring out a large number of soldiers and horses when he went out this time, which would reduce the number of soldiers and horses he harvested Liu Jian.
He was still thinking about how to use to let Liu Jian take as few soldiers and horses out of the city as possible, but he didn't expect Liu Jian to propose to take only 3,000 people out of Yangxia, which made Liu Chong very happy.
But his joy was still hidden in his heart.
Liu Pet deliberately pretended to be worried.
"Deran, is it safe for you to only take such a small number of people out of the city? Why don't you bring some more people?"
After saying this, Liu Pet regretted it, and he couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth.
Since Liu Jian wants to take so few people out of the city, what mouth does he owe to pretend to care?
If he takes advantage of the situation and takes more people out, won't he lose money?
I heard Liu Jian laugh and said, "It's okay, I'll take my two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei together, although the number is small, but it can also be safe."
As soon as Liu Jian finished saying this, Liu Pet almost didn't fart.
Among Liu Jian's subordinates, the most feared by Liu Chong are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two figures of 2,000 stones.
Now that Liu Jian has led them out of the city, the other generals under him are not a problem for Liu Chong at all, and it is easy to annex his army.
What Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Zhang He, Gao Ran...... I've never heard of it!
Aren't you left to your own devices?
