Chapter 197: Zhang Xiu's Choice

"Lord, Cao Mengde has made a bloody investment this time, even the two strong soldiers of Yanzhou, the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Qingzhou soldiers are all dispatched, and the vanguard general is Xiahoudun, leading 5,000 troops, and he has already arrived in Nanwuyang. Xuzhou is not to be outdone, but my lord, this time, the people sent by Xuzhou have a little relationship with you. ”

Liu Chong was stunned: "Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, I don't have any old people in Xuzhou." ”

"Liu Xuande."

Liu Zhong was shocked: "Ah." Then thinking of this immortal Xiaoqiang, he couldn't help but nod again, calculate the time, since the defeat of Qingzhou, Liu Bei had no face to go to Youzhou to see Gongsun Zan again, so he had to run to Xuzhou. As in history, Liu Bei went to Xuzhou to make a heartbreak and visit everywhere. It's not. Mi Zhu, a wealthy man in Xuzhou, fell in love with our big-eared thief.

Xun You: "Before, the lord has always been secretly concerned about this person, but now, like many people, I am afraid that they all understand, the lord is accurate to see people, it is better to do it." Then Xun You smiled again: "Lord, in this way, this time, Cao Mengde can be regarded as in trouble, you must know that this time, the five thousand that Liu Bei led the troops, in addition to Liu Bei's hundreds of elite soldiers, are actually Danyang soldiers." ”

Liu Pet was taken aback: "The world is strong, don't come out of Danyang." The people of Danyang are fierce, and Danyang is synonymous with elite soldiers since the pre-Qin period. Tao Qian, Tao Qian, with Liu Bei's character, these five thousand Danyang soldiers, you don't want to go back. No, Cao Mengde's expedition to Xuzhou, although I am greedy, but I have nothing to do. If Cao Mengde can't cut off the alliance between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao within a year or two, in the future, there will be no one else in the world except Yuan. Give Cao Cao a wake-up call and tell him to be careful of Liu Bei, especially Liu Bei's two cronies, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide. ”

Xun You nodded, at this time, for Liu Bei, Xun You will never be the same as before, because what Liu Pet said about Liu Bei was realized in the same way, so that Xun You had to pay attention to this so-called Uncle Liu Huang.

Just when Liu Pet was paying close attention to the dispute between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, suddenly, a news came, and he completely beat a stuffy stick, it should be said that he beat the whole world with a stuffy stick.

Dong Zhuo was still killed by Wang Yun in the end.

Liu Pet didn't ask what was going on, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms made it very clear, Liu Pet's first reaction was to immediately secretly send an order to Jia Xu, and immediately get Xu Rong's family out, Chang'an, the future must be chaotic. Hundreds of thousands of headless flies-like Xiliang soldiers, Bingzhou soldiers, former Han Janissaries and other systematic armies have made Chang'an uninhabited for hundreds of miles. So much so that during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition later in history, more than 100,000 horses couldn't find a grain of grain in Guanzhong, because there were no people in the local area.

Thinking of something, Liu Chong immediately sent an order to Zhang Jiang, the head snake in Luoyang. For Zhang Jiang, Liu Zhong has never exercised strict control over Zhang Jiang since he helped Zhang Jiang develop at the beginning. It is not so much that Zhang Jiang is Liu Chong's subordinate, but that Zhang Jiang is an ally of Liu Chong, but fortunately, Zhang Jiang is very grateful to Liu Chong and has always been loyal in the future.

Whether it is a year later, or ten years later, in short, Liu Chong will never allow Emperor Han Xian to leave Sanfu alive and come to Luoyang, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to engage in bullying the Son of Heaven to order the princes and other.

Xun You rushed in, Liu Chong didn't wait for Xun You to speak, and said, "I know, Dong Thief is dead." ”

Xun You shook his head: "Lord, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu." ”

Liu Pet frowned: "Zhang Xiu? Zhang Xiu hit Yingchuan, how dare he? ”

Xun You shook his head again: "No, my lord, Dong thief is dead, and I will descend to Zhang Xiu, my lord." ”

Liu Chong was stunned for a moment, and said that he didn't understand, how could it be possible, Zhang Xiu had always dreamed of being self-reliant, this would be Dong Thief's death, it was too late for him to be happy, Alexander finally didn't, how could he still think of surrendering to others.

Xun You hurried: "Lord, it is precisely because Dong Zhuo is dead, on the surface, it seems that Zhang Xiu is completely free, but in fact, Dong Thief is dead, and the most disadvantageous thing is Zhang Xiu." In the past, although Zhang Xiu did not accept Dong Zhuo's jurisdiction, in order to ease the relationship between the Kanto region, Dong Zhuo also had to endure it. Otherwise, let other people rule Nanyang, such as Yuan Shu before, Dong Zhuo wouldn't be able to sleep. Didn't the lord see that after Yuan Shu left Nanyang, Dong Thief withdrew all the garrisons in Huayin, which shows Dong Zhuo's fear of Kanto. ”

"If someone attacks Zhang Xiu, the lord, bet that Dong Thief will save Zhang Xiu. Because Nanyang is controlled in the hands of Zhang Xiu in the Western Liang system, it is far better than in the hands of the Kwantung princes. But now that the Dong thief is dead, the Xiliang army must be in chaos. The generals of Xiliang are all unruly people, when the Dong thief is alive, he can still suppress it, and when the Dong thief dies, who can still obey whom, who cares about you Zhang Xiu at this time. ”

Liu Chong heard it: "That's the reason, but we think so, Zhang Xiu doesn't think so, how can people surrender." ”

Xun You: "So, lord, Zhang Xiu doesn't understand, let's fight until he understands." ”

Liu Zhong was shocked: "Fight? Liu Pet never thought that Xun You, who has never advocated foreign expansion, would actually take the initiative to ask Liu Pet to fight at this time?

Xun You: "Yes, lord, after Zhang Xiu became the lord of Nanyang, he has been relying on the grain and grass restrictions in Jingzhou. Despite this, Jingzhou was still jealous of Zhang Xiu, and with the chaos of the local families such as Liu Jingsheng and Cai Mao in Jingzhou City, if our army recruited Zhang Xiu, Jingzhou would definitely not be able to send troops to help. Zhang Xiu did not have Dong Zhuo, and he could not get the support of Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu was isolated, with his 20,000 troops, this was the perfect time to include Nanyang in his arms. ”

Xun You's consideration is prepared for the future expedition to Jingzhou, on the one hand, the future expedition to Jingzhou, if there is Nanyang as the front step, it will be twice the result with half the effort, and second, if you don't completely solve Nanyang, when you go south to conquer Jingzhou, isn't it equivalent to standing a sword behind your back.

After Liu Pet listened, he lowered his head and thought about it, and just ordered Gan Ning to train the water army, and the battle in Jingzhou could not be fought yet. However, you might as well start with a skirmish. For Xun You's initiative to take Nanyang first, Liu Chong understood Xun You's intentions. However, Liu Chong was thinking not only of the problem of Jingzhou at this time, but also the delicate relationship in the eastern region.

Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou, Yuan Shu's desire to unite with Yuan Shao, and so on, these things seem to have nothing to do with Liu Chong for the time being, but they actually have a lot to do with it.

Cao Cao's eastward expedition to Xuzhou, because of Liu Chong's relationship in Yuzhou, Cao Cao must not dare to go all out to the east. Similarly, Yuan Shu of Huainan saw Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition, how could he not understand Cao Cao's plans, Yuan Shu must have wanted to stop Cao Caotun from annexing Xuzhou, but also because of Liu Chong's relationship, Yuan Shu was afraid of Huainan's emptiness, and he didn't dare to help too much, let alone have a Sun Jian behind him.

In this way, everyone is timid, which is not what Liu Pet wants to see. Fight, to be ruthless, it is best to pull Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and even Yuan Tan of Qingzhou all in, and everyone will fight ruthlessly, and completely destroy the rich Xuzhou, this is what Liu Pet wants to see.

In this way, no one can please the several parties participating in the war in the end, and even if anyone gets Xuzhou, it is still a rotten Xuzhou.

Since you can't let go of the fight, then I'll help you out and give you peace of mind.

"Okay, hit Wancheng."

Don't you worry about me, I'll fight too, you can rest assured. The war machine in Yuzhou is always much more flexible than other places, Gao Shun, Chen Dao, this time, the three elite soldiers of Chen State, all have to participate in the war. Not only to make Yuan Shu and Cao Cao feel at ease, but also because of Liu Chong's jealousy of Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu is the old department of Xiliang after all, and the Xiliang Iron Horse under his command is also very powerful.

Dong Zhuo died, Liu Pet immediately took action, and Zhang Xiu's side immediately got the news, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss, especially the secret discussion between Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew behind closed doors.

Zhang Xiu said heroically: "Hmph, uncle, what are you afraid of when Liu Pet comes." It is said that Liu Pet Yuzhou is an elite general, and I really can't see where this reputation comes from? Could it be that after beating Chen Ji and Liao Hua, they thought they were invincible in the world? Uncle don't be afraid, this time I will let that Liu Pet see the power of my Northland Spear King, and try the power of the five thousand iron horsemen under my command. ”

When Zhang Ji heard this, he didn't immediately accuse, now that Zhang Xiu is the master, Zhang Ji can't teach Zhang Xiu a lesson like before, the superior needs prestige, not only the prestige shown in front of outsiders, but also his own inner self-confidence, if there is no self-confidence, this superior person will have nothing to do.

Zhang Ji: "Dingyuan, it's good to have confidence, but you have to be calm in everything, now you are no longer alone, you have to shoulder the lineage of my Zhang clan, and the 20,000 soldiers under your command are sustenance." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, the Zhang family was already thin, and they died in battle one by one, and now there are only two uncles and nephews left in the Zhang family, but fortunately, Zhang Xiu now has a fat boy.

Zhang Ji said again: "What we said just now is so decided, we will definitely not be able to go to Chang'an." As soon as Xiangguo died, Xiliang Tie rode the dragons without a leader, which seems to be a piece of fat, but in fact, this is a natural trap, whoever goes in will lose all his money. If anyone can reintegrate these 200,000 Xiliang soldiers and reiterate discipline, it is true that it is the capital that swept the world, but now looking at the world, there is no such person. Dingyuan, don't think that if the people of Xiliang call you the Gun King of the Northland, you can raise your arms and shout, no. ”

If Xun You and Liu Chong were here, they would definitely give Zhang Ji a thumbs up, and Zhang Ji's analysis of the current situation in Chang'an was absolutely correct. And Li Dao, Guo Yan and others just don't have such awareness, they all think that they can succeed Dong Zhuo, and the fate of these two people must be very sad. If these two people are smarter and leave Chang'an far away with the people they can control now, then they may have some capital to compete for power in the future.

Zhang Xiu saw that Zhang Ji mentioned this again, don't go to Chang'an, don't go to Chang'an, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, uncle, I listen to you, Chang'an is good, but it's also a very place, we won't go, but uncle, Liu Pet is coming, but I must fight." ”

Zhang Ji wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Xiu's youthful spirit, he thought about it, but he still didn't say it, hey, let's take a look first, let's take a look first. Wenhe, Wenhe, if you were here, how nice it would be.
