Chapter 112: The Flames of War (1)
"Haha! This bunch of garbage, I knew they couldn't make the climate! Dong Zhuo laughed, looking at the battle report in his hand, now knowing that the allies had completely collapsed, Dong Zhuo's heart was also placed in his stomach peacefully, as for Lu Bu, he also breathed a long sigh of relief, for fear that they would fight again, at this time, everyone was even more jealous of Jia Xu, this old yin actually thought about everything, it was really shocking, every time they thought of Jia Xu's strategy, they were cold in their backs, and their eyes looking at Jia Xu were unconsciously full of vigilance. Jia Xu is so shrewd, he immediately understood what these people thought, and he could only smile bitterly, he couldn't help it, he didn't die or die!
"Father-in-law, in that case, why don't we move back to Luoyang?" Lu Bu suggested, now that Chang'an is in ruins, it is better to go back to Luoyang, although Luoyang is also a ruin, but it is easy to deal with!
"Nope! It's in Chang'an, it's close to Liangzhou, it's very close to our base camp, what's wrong with that little emperor? Dong Zhuo said with a smile, he is not very relieved about Lu Bu, only to stay away from Bingzhou and cut off Lu Bu's military source, then Lu Bu can only use it for himself, now after a few battles, the Bingzhou army brought by Lu Bu has been almost consumed, and now Dong Zhuo can be said to be worry-free!
"There's nothing out of the ordinary, just sometimes I'm in a daze!" Li Ru smiled, very disdainful in his heart, a seven-year-old child, has experienced so many things, it's not bad if he isn't scared stupid, Dong Zhuo is too, what are you paying attention to him for, can you still make him stir up any waves here?
"That's good, remember, the little emperor is not terrible, the terrible thing is that someone uses the name of the little emperor to do things, the ministers of this court have a lot of complaints, let them come to Chang'an this time, we will dig Luoyang three feet into the ground, there are many people's ancestral graves have been dug by you, this group of people will not endure it, there will be action, you show me, if someone does something, then kill them for me!" Dong Zhuo sneered, what he said made Jia Xu's body tighten, although he was more ruthless, but Jia Xu could be regarded as a Hanchen!
"If you have nothing to do, you can go out to practice more soldiers, and we can't let our soldiers be idle, as for those who are too guarded with assassination history and the like, as long as we don't deal with them, it won't take a few days. They'll kill each other, and we'll just wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman! Dong Zhuo laughed and said, hearing his laughter, the maids in the hall next door were all frightened, and they didn't know what they remembered, they were all pale!
Yuan Shao watched Sun Jian go away last time, thinking that the jade seal of the country would slip away from his hand like this, he was angry, and after thinking about it, he wrote a letter directly to Liu Biao, asking Liu Biao to intercept and kill Sun Jian, in order to make Liu Biao's heart move, Yuan Shao told Liu Biao about the imperial court sealing Sun Jian as the Taishou of Changsha, since the words are not good, then this benefit should always be okay!
"Guys, what do you think?" Liu Biao showed Yuan Shao's letter to his subordinates, and asked, he really didn't want to touch Sun Jian, what Liu Biao wanted to do most now was to enter Xichuan, if he took Xichuan himself, it would be invincible!
"Lord, no matter whether this Sun Jian has a jade seal or not, and whether this Yuan Shao has selfish intentions or not, this Sun Jian and us must be mortal enemies, and he will not give up Changsha, so I think we should intercept and kill Sun Jian!" Kuai Liang opened his mouth and said, as Liu Biao's chief think tank, his words still carry a lot of weight.
"Hmmm! What about you? How to think? Liu Biao turned his head and asked Cai Mao and other generals!
"Then it goes without saying, intercept and kill him, as long as we kill him, we can take Jiangdong, and then take Xichuan, we can occupy half of the Han Dynasty, or the richest half, and then we can win the Central Plains and break Chang'an in one fell swoop, if Sun Jian really has a jade seal, it is the destiny of heaven on the lord!" Cai Mao said excitedly, thinking of the situation he depicted, this thing looked like he was about to climax!
"Well, since you all agree, then find a suitable place to snipe Sun Jian, remember that we must be killed with one blow, otherwise we will be dragged by Sun Jian, and we will not have the time and manpower to go west!" Liu Biao said, he is always so light and light, just like when he came to Jingzhou with one person and one horse, so that those subordinates respect Liu Biao even more!
"Yes! Lord! Cai Mao and the others' eyes flashed with excitement, as if they had killed Sun Jian, but at this time, Sun Jian was marching all the way, pretending to be Yuan Shujun everywhere he went, which saved him a lot of trouble, and on the way, Sun Jian robbed a lot of families, and also secretly hacked the Yuan family!
"Big brother, as you expected, these princes are in chaos so quickly!" Zhao Yun looked at Cheng Feng with some admiration, and now he admires Cheng Feng more and more.
"Humph! A group of local chickens and dogs, sooner or later, you have to be careful recently, Zilong, I estimate that Yuan Shao will do it to Han Fu next, this Jizhou can't fall into the hands of others, you train the soldiers first, and when Yuan Shao takes Jizhou and Gongsun Chan to go to war, it is the time for us to send troops! Cheng Feng sneered, now he has made up his mind to end this troubled world as soon as possible!
"Lord, we don't have enough troops, with our current troops, it's okay to stick to the land of the two states, once the battlefield is expanded, it will be a little stretched, unless there are a large number of troops, now Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others are all self-respecting, even Han Sui, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shaogong, Sun Zan and others have a lot of troops, we still need time to accumulate strength!" Tian Yu opened his mouth, he felt that Cheng Feng was a little anxious.
"Guorang, I know what you said, you must know that there are thousands of roads to reunification, the most common is nothing more than the royal road, domineering, benevolent way, we can be parallel in many ways, now we first accumulate strength, within two years these people will annex each other, we just need to let the people recognize us, when the time comes, all the people will be soldiers, it will be much easier!" Cheng Feng said with a smile,
"How long will that take? You can't put all your hopes in them! Zhao Yun was a little speechless, to put it bluntly, isn't this just waiting.
"It won't be too long, look at it, when the princes from all over the country attack each other, that is, when Dong Zhuo is in civil strife, we can take the opportunity to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, while Cao Cao and others are still Hanchen, try to complete the great cause as soon as possible, you must know that this place where we are located is not only our Han country, the outside world is very vast, and we have the ability to use it externally!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, he also said this to Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others, after his description, both of them are very yearning, but now the most important thing is to first settle the inside, and we must first build the Han into an iron bucket, so that we can expand externally with confidence!
"Big brother said so much that I'm a little dizzy, just tell me what to do, anyway, we listen to you!" What Zhao Yun is most afraid of is listening to Cheng Feng's analysis or something, and sometimes he can't figure out what Cheng Feng's head has in it!
"Good! You should seize the time to train the troops, train 300,000 elite soldiers at the end of the year, and push down our policy of benefiting the people, so that the people can enjoy it, and then vigorously expand the territory, just take Jizhou and Merge Prefecture, and if the opportunity is right, take Youzhou by the way! Cheng Feng said with a smile, only at this time did he reveal his ambitions.
Although Cheng Feng said it more easily, these people didn't think so, because these people are all hairy boys now, looking at Cheng Feng like this, this is going to let them take charge alone, Zhang He and a few people are a little stunned, I don't know what to do, Cheng Feng also knows what a few people think, and then added, "You are responsible for leading the troops to fight, and the problem of governance will be handed over to Tian Yu, with our development, there is a steady stream of talents, don't forget that we still have Changshan Academy!" ”
Just when Chengfeng and others were discussing how to develop next, Yuan Shao also came to Jizhou with a large army, under the slogan of borrowing grain from Han Fu, Yuan Shao easily took Jizhou, and then Yuan Shao secretly sent someone to shoot Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Yue, originally wanted to blame Chengfeng, but was recognized by Gongsun Zhan, and now Gongsun Chan came directly to attack Yuan Shao's Jizhou, Liu Guanzhang and the three also helped fight from the side, giving Yuan Shao a lot of pressure.
"Yuan Shao, I respect you Yuan Family Fourth and Third Prince, I didn't expect you to be such a despicable villain, my younger brother Sun Yue originally sent you grain and grass, but I didn't expect your wolf ambition to kill him, you are really a man in vain, I was really blind to choose you as the leader of the alliance!" Gongsun Zhan pointed a spear at Yuan Shao and scolded,
Yuan Shao wanted to refute a few words, but he didn't expect the matter to leak, and now everything seems so pale and powerless, Yuan Shao didn't talk nonsense, and directly urged the army to fight forward, "Kill me, behead Gongsun Zhan, and take Youzhou!" Yuan Shao said angrily, now that Yuan Shao has annexed Han Fu's forces, there are already more than 200,000 elite soldiers, plus Yan Liangwen and Gao Lan Juyi Four Pillars, and there are no less than a dozen other generals, now Yuan Shao's heart has swelled sharply, especially the Zhen family in Yecheng has surrendered to him, which makes his power even stronger, and he really didn't look at the 350,000 horses of Gongsun Zan on the other side!
"Kill!" Yan Liang and others relied on a lot of soldiers, and did not fight with Guan Yu and others, that is, the cavalry that killed Gongsun Chan back and forth, Guan Yu Zhang Fei and others even if they were heroic, they could not redeem Gongsun Chan's disadvantage, and finally fought a lot of corpses on both sides, ending with Gongsun Chan withdrawing to Youzhou, Liu Bei and others also personally came to Yuan Shao to make peace with Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao took the force of the three brothers, and temporarily agreed, so that Youzhou and Jizhou got a short opportunity for peace, and at the same time Yuan Shao quietly sent Chun Yuqiong to Bingzhou, secretly occupying most of the state!
"Smack!" Gongsun Chan doesn't know how many things he has fallen, this Yuan Shao is too deceitful, but his own soldiers are not his opponents at all, this time he will lose one-third of his men and horses in this battle, if he continues to fight, maybe he will be swallowed up by Yuan Shao, and now Gongsun Chan knows the terrible thing about the family, that is, the heritage and resources are too terrifying!
"Lord, since Liu Bei and the others have made peace, we can take the opportunity to sneak attack Yuan Shao!" Yan Gang opened his mouth and said, as the first general under Gongsun Zhan, he has the most right to speak, through this battle, he found that the ability of the soldiers on his side is still relatively good, if the timing is right, he can still achieve certain results!
"Let's take a look, now fortunately there is Xuande here, otherwise it would really not be able to stop Yuan Shao's attack, but as long as the peace talks are successful, I think Yuan Shao will attack other places, and we can take the opportunity to swallow Liu Yu's territory, so that there is hope for fighting Yuan Shao again!" Gongsun Zhan's eyes flashed with a crazy light, these words startled Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Zou Dan and others, this Liu Yu is famous for his noble character, if he attacks him, he will be capped, then the reputation of his own people will be stinky, thinking that this group of people are looking at Gongsun Zhan!
"I have made up my mind, just do it, Dong Zhuo supported an emperor, then I will let Liu Yu be the emperor, with his prestige, he can be the emperor, he is a relative of the Han family, and there are not many people who oppose it! If he doesn't agree, then I'll kill him! The more Gongsun Chan spoke, the more excited he became, he was already a little hysterical, and several other people who watched it felt bad, Tian Kai quietly sent someone to inform Liu Bei, hoping that he could persuade Gongsun Chan.
Recently, Cao Cao had a good life, he occupied the land of two states, the soldiers were strong and there were a lot of materials, as soon as the days were good, Cao Cao remembered that the father who had taken refuge in the countryside came, and quickly sent someone to pick up the father, but the road passed through Xuzhou, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian originally wanted to please Cao Cao, so he sent his general Zhang Min to escort the troops, but the goods fell in love with the gold and silver treasures of the old man Cao, and on a rainy night the Cao family was killed, and when the news reached Tao Qian, the kind old man didn't say anything, The eyes fainted, and Chen Deng and the others hurriedly poured cold water on them, pinching people in the middle of the people, and finally woke up Tao Qian.
"I said everyone, it's me Tao Qian who uses people unknown, you better run for your life quickly, this Cao Cao will definitely send troops to attack me, with our Danyang soldiers are not Cao Cao's opponents at all!" Tao Qian said with great regret, I can't wait to chop Zhang Min into meat puree!
"Lord, don't worry too much, Cao Cao hasn't received the news yet, we still have 100,000 elite soldiers in our hands, we can resist for a while, the only thing to worry about is that there are no fierce generals, I heard that Liu Bei's three brothers are brave and invincible, even Lu Bu can be defeated, now they are staying in the plains, there are no soldiers and horses, we can ask them to help, this Liu Bei can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous king!" Chen Deng said
"Then what if Liu Bei robbed Xuzhou? What are we going to do? They're all fierce generals! Cao Bao said
"Hehe, this Liu Bei is the third brother, there are no soldiers and horses, how can he take the city, and besides, we can ask Kong Rong and others to help, presumably Cao Cao will be jealous" Chen Deng spoke
"That's the only way, Chen Deng, you go quickly, you must invite Liu Bei and them before Cao Cao comes, otherwise Xuzhou will be closed!" Tao Qian said anxiously, now he regrets it very much, why is he idle and has nothing to please Cao Cao, this can be regarded as a big deal!
"Yes, my lord!" Chen Deng did not delay any longer after speaking, and quickly went to ask for help, at this time Cao Cao also received the news, when he heard the news, Boss Cao felt a buzz, and then his brain was full of blood, and then he fainted with grief, and when he woke up, he heard Cao Cao shout "The revenge of killing my father, I want Xuzhou to bury my father!" ”
Hearing that Cao Cao woke up, the Xiahou brothers, the Cao family brothers, and Yu Banle Jin, Li Tong and others also hurried over to take a look at the situation, and at this time, Cao Cao looked at them with red eyes and said, "Tao Qian instructed his subordinates to kill my father and slaughter me all over the house. ”
"It's all at the command of the Lord!" Everyone said in unison, as the saying goes, the lord humiliates the ministers to death, since he recognized Cao Cao as the lord, he can't be persuaded at this time, this is the revenge of killing his father, and besides, taking advantage of this opportunity to take Xuzhou is also a good choice.
"Cao Ren Cao Chun, you are the pioneers. Lead the cavalry and go! Xiahou Yuan escorted the grain and grass, and the others went out with my army! Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said heavily, "The whole army is filial piety!" ”
"Yes" Everyone responded, Xiahoudun seemed to remember something, and soon led a big man named Dian Wei to see Cao Cao, saying that he was a newly recruited general, and his strength was infinite. Just in time for the strong wind, several people couldn't hold the banner, this Dian Wei stabilized Cao Cao's banner with one hand, and Cao Cao was very pleased to see it, and praised Dian Wei as his ancient evil. When he saw the two big iron halberds used by Dian Wei, Cao Cao was even more excited, and now he also has a god of war-level figure.
"Lord, I still have dozens of brothers, let me recruit them together, they are all people who have been training tigers in the mountains with me all year round!" Dian Wei's words made Cao Cao's eyes light up, and he quickly arranged for someone to accompany him!
"Big brother, let's go to Xuzhou first to investigate the situation, and your army must move forward quickly!" The Cao Ren brothers said
"Hmm. You have to be careful, Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers are famous elite soldiers in the world, you are just pioneers, don't rush to fight, just explore the road first! Cao Cao instructed, for fear that the two brothers would be eager to take revenge and ruin their good situation.
"Don't worry, big brother, we know how to do it!" Cao Chundao, he wants Cao Ren to be much calmer, and now that he is here, Cao Cao is more at ease!
"What's going on?" Cao Cao looked depressed, why has it been so bad lately, just sent Cao Ren away, he saw Li Tong come back with a bloody body, didn't he send him and Dian Wei to recruit people together, did something happen again?
"Lord, we were about to come back, but when we walked to Xujiazhuang, we met a strong man named Xu Chu, and General Dian Wei fought, the two of them were evenly divided, I originally wanted to pull them apart, but they were shocked and injured before they could fight, so I hurried to call you, I think this Xu Chu is a talent, martial arts are not under Dian Wei, I am afraid that they will lose both, please go quickly, go early, you can subdue the two generals, and if you go late, it is estimated that you will lose two!" Li Tong said quickly, eager to pull Cao Cao away.
"Okay, okay, I know, you just ask someone to lead the way, you go to treat the injury first!" Cao Cao said tightly, and then he didn't stay any longer, and rushed to Xujiazhuang with Xiahoudun and a few people!
