In the incident of Eryuan seizing the heir, Lu Bu stole the foundation of the northern country, which caused a huge sensation at that time, but Jiang Yiqu in Liyang City did not panic.

In fact, the four pillars of Hebei each defected, and Yuan Shao died, and Jiang Yiqu no longer had any scruples in his heart.

Who is it to be a general, the four court pillars can be changed, what's the matter, you can't change the master if you are a broken general?

Moreover, judging from the situation after the re-election of the four court pillars, the treatment of the change of master is not much worse.

It wasn't until Lin Mo began to change blood in order to stabilize the hundreds of thousands of troops in the north that the generals above the military marquis were swept away, and Jiang Yiqu panicked at this time.

After fighting for half his life, if he is not allowed to fight now, what else can he do.

He was born as a commoner, and he was used to being prominent in front of people, and now if he wants to beat him back to his original form, wouldn't that kill him?

Therefore, whether it was Yuan Shang's order or the autumn harvest event, Jiang Yiqu was all sick, and he didn't dare to go to Yecheng, for fear that he would not be able to come back after he went.

However, there is no way to go on like this, of course, Liyang's city defense is also solid, if the 60,000 army is defended, more than 100,000 people will not break their front teeth, and it is estimated that they will not be able to bite a hole, but it is not a long-term solution after all.

At the time of crisis, Zhang He wrote a letter to him, saying that Sikong Cao Cao cherished his talent, got his wish, and ensured him to be a general in the imperial court and named the Marquis of Liyang.

Others said he might not believe it, but Mr. Zhang said he didn't doubt a word.

Zhang He, one of the four court pillars in the past, has always been as good as a mountain, coupled with the love of the past robe, a hanging heart has finally landed.

He originally wanted to directly cross the river with 60,000 troops and go straight to Xuchang, if necessary, it was okay to burn the forward position of the northern country, but at this time, a scout ran in.

"General, general, Yecheng has sent someone!"

"What's the panic?"

I was worried that they would cut off their food and grass, but now? Jiang Yiqu said that if he dared to come to find trouble, he would ask the 60,000 brothers in the city if they would agree, "How many people are coming, and who is leading the troops?" ”

"There were only a few hundred people, and there were no flags."

Jiang Yiqu sneered, that proves that he is not here to find trouble, most likely Yuan Shang gave some order.

No, it's not Yuan Shang, it's Lu Bu, it's Lin Mo.

It doesn't matter, things have come to this point, no matter what kind of order it is, it doesn't make much difference, Jiang Yiqu sat firmly in the handsome chair and patted the armrest, "When you enter the city, let them unload their weapons." ”

"Whoa!"

When he came to Liyang City, Yan Liang looked at this Xiongguan and felt a lot in his heart.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao ordered him to take 20,000 elite soldiers into Liyang and wait for an opportunity to attack White Horse City.

At that time, he was still the general of the Hebei Siting Pillar and the 700,000 Northern Army, and he didn't believe that anyone in the world could beat his edge.

Unexpectedly, when he returned here, he was already a person, met Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and also fought with Zhao Yun, and his state of mind was no longer as hot as it was at the beginning.

Yan Liangwen and Chou rode horses and slowly approached the city gate, and the city gate commander on duty stepped forward and shouted: "Get off the horse, all the people can put down their weapons before entering the city." ”

At the same time, the sergeants on the carriageway of Chengguan all wound their bows and aimed at them.

Obviously, if they don't obey the order, they will be greeted by a rain of arrows in the next breath.

The two of them didn't react, just looked at Chengguan.

"I'll let you dismount, you're all deaf."

Before he finished speaking, the city gate commander who ran out and commanded clearly saw the appearance of the two of them, and immediately froze, "General Yan Yan? Also, and General Wen? ”

The two glanced at him and didn't know each other, Yan Liang asked coldly, "Do you still need to dismount?" ”

The city gate commander immediately ran to them, knelt down on one knee, and clasped his hands, "Subordinate Chen Wang, I have seen the general!" ”

When Wen Chou jumped off the horse and helped him up with one hand, the city gate order named Chen Wang was already crying and red-eyed, "Subordinate, subordinate thinks that he will never have the opportunity to see the general in this life!" Subordinate. The subordinates will go to report to General Chiang! ”

"No need."

Yan Liang stopped him directly, and the horsewhip pointed forward, "Lead the way ahead, we are going to see Jiang Yiqu." ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Wang wiped away his tears, and then shouted to the crossbowmen on the road in Chengguan: "What are you talking about, you can see clearly, it's General Yan Liang and General Wen Chou!" ”

The crossbowmen on the road were stunned, first looked at each other, and then subconsciously put down the bow and crossbow in their hands.

Among them, not all of them have seen Yan Liangwen ugly, but no one has not heard the names of these two brothers, in fact, many people in the army are targeting their brothers, and even worship them as gods.

After the lieutenant on duty saw it clearly, he ran down from the city pass in three steps and two steps, "General, general!" It's me, do you remember the last general, during the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, I was a centurion under you! ”

Wen Chou tilted his head and looked at the man who was kneeling in front of him and choked and crying, recalled it, and hurriedly helped him up, "I remember, you seemed to have been hit by two arrows at the time, and then I raised Ling to the rear army as a military marquis, I didn't think that you are now a captain." ”

"General, I'll lead you a horse, I. I'll lead you the horse. After seeing Wen Chou, the lieutenant's tears of excitement couldn't be stopped at all, and he didn't care about what the lieutenant was on duty, so he had to act as a pawn.

When he entered the city, Chen Wang shouted, "General Yan Liang is back, General Wen Chou is back!" ”

On the road of the city pass, more than 800 defenders, at the gate of the city, 100 guards, constantly raising their hand swords, shouted in unison, "Victory!" Win! Win! ”

The two brothers entered the city with five hundred swords and axes and headed for the general's mansion.

Even after the sergeants patrolling the streets along the way saw them, some wept bitterly, some got carried away, and some shouted the ugly name of Yan Liangwen and shouted victory.

This is Yan Liang's compulsion of Wen Chou, in the eyes of the people of the world, Lu Bu is of course invincible in the world, and Zhao Yun is also invincible, but in the hearts of the Northern Army, no one can compare with Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Originally, the brothers planned to enter the city in a low-key manner, find Jiang Yiqu to talk to him, and persuade him to honestly hand over the military power and return to Yecheng with the two brothers.

The others didn't dare to guarantee that at least they had their face, and Lu Bu and Lin Mo couldn't kill him.

Who would have thought that along the way, the guards at the city gates, the defenders at the city gates, and the sergeants on patrol all spontaneously followed behind them.

Yan Liang also drove them away, but it was useless, he just had to follow them all the time.

When they came to the gate of the general's mansion, the whole street was blocked with water, this posture looked no different from a mutiny, the brothers looked at it, they were angry and funny, but more relieved.

After leaving the northern country for so long, they have not forgotten themselves, and this trip has not been in vain.

Before the Central Plains War, Jiang Yiqu, who was Yan Liang's deputy general, heard the news of their return, and was actually very excited to run out to greet them.

It's just that before he ran out of the door, he met the two brothers who came towards him, "General, general, you are finally back!" ”

Yan Liang glanced at him and walked inside without saying a word.

Wen Chou patted him on the shoulder, "Come on." ”

After driving everyone else out, Jiang Yiqu did not doubt him, and continued to choke up with excitement, "General, you will have the backbone when you come back to the northern country, General, do you know that Lu Bu and Lin Mo have replaced all our brothers."

What's wrong with them, it's the heirs of the Yuan family who are fighting for power, what's wrong with them, over the years, their positions have been exchanged for their great military exploits, and they were killed by charging into battle.

Well, our brothers finally have a day to come! ”

"Idiot! Just because you also want to fight with Marquis Wen and Marquis Lanling, you have a few heads, and you still want to put all the brothers in the city into it, you are satisfied! ”

Faced with Yan Liang's stunned and angry rebuke, Jiang Yiqu was a little confused.

After a moment of trance, he reacted, and Fang Cai was so happy to see them that he forgot that they had all surrendered to Lu Bu.

The meeting of a good robe turned into a large-scale social death scene, Jiang Yiqu twitched the corner of his mouth, and said boldly: "General, if I want to go against their son-in-law, but, but the fate of the former robe is vivid, if I go to Yecheng at this time, wouldn't it be a moth to fight the fire?" ”

"You still know you're a moth!" Yan Liang was angry and foaming at Xingzi flew directly to Jiang Yiqu's face.

When I wanted to have a seizure, I was stopped by Wen Chou.

"Yiqu, our brothers are not going to train you on this trip, but to bring you back to Yecheng for Wen Hou and Lanling Hou to leave."

Seeing Jiang Yiqu's eyes widen, Wen Chou added, "Don't worry, with us, you won't be in danger of your life." ”

Jiang Yiqu's eyes flickered with horror, and he took a few steps back, going to Yecheng? Obviously unwilling, just now he was thinking about how to command the army to fight after going to Xuchang Zhonglang, and now let him go to see Lu Bu and Lin Mo, even if he doesn't die, he is afraid that he will not be able to stay in the barracks.

"What? Is the five hundred we brought with us too few? Otherwise, if you go out and call the brothers in the city to do something to us, I will see if you really have this ability after Jiang Yiqu leaves me. Yan Liang's words were not good, but they poked Jiang Yiqu's heart.

If it weren't for Yan Liang and Wen Chou who came today, even if Lu Bu and Zhao Yun came, it would be useless, he had this confidence.

But what kind of people are these two brothers, they are people who don't need military talismans to mobilize a large army in the northern country, as long as they say a word, they will be answered.

Now, with him Jiang Yiqu, how can he still mobilize the 60,000 troops in the city.

Everything is fate, as long as it is a few days later, you can go to Xuchang in a few days, but when I met them, Jiang Yiqu sat down paralyzed, his eyes were a little dull.

"It's just a trip to Yecheng, you can't die, look at your little bit of interest, get up for me!" Facing the myths of the past, he waved his horsewhip, and Jiang Yiqu, who was sitting on the ground, subconsciously raised his hand to wrap his head.

There is no way, Yan Liangwen's prestige in the Northern Army is actually no less than the mentality of the Bingzhou Army when facing Lu Bu, and there will be an instinctive obedience.

I didn't want to go, but when they came, I couldn't help myself, Jiang Yiqu got up in embarrassment, and lowered his head like a quail and didn't dare to speak.

Wen Chou appeased a few words, and then went out to give an order to let the generals perform their duties, after all, this is the gateway town of the northern country, this appearance was seen by Lu Bu and Lin Mo, and it is estimated that they also sneered at the northern army.

The process of taking Jiang Yiqu away, there was no hindrance, just as Jiang Yiqu thought in his heart, in the northern country, Yan Liangwen and the ugly brothers' words were more effective than military orders, in fact, this was also the reason why Lin Mo did not dare to rush them over.

In case they have a trace of loyalty to Yuan Shang, no joke, they can easily launch a mutiny.

However, with such deeds as the Anfeng War, and the fact that the old father-in-law and Zhao Yun are there, these two brothers should be able to carry it clearly.

Liu Biao's death made Cao Cao happy that he didn't sleep all night.

With his death, Liu Cong took the throne, and all the military and politics in Jingzhou fell into the hands of Cai Mao alone, Liu Jingsheng, who rode into Jingzhou alone, was not easy to handle, and Cai Mao, a reckless man, still knew the general situation.

Jingzhou, you can make a plan.

Cao Cao thought that Xun You's strategy should have a certain impact on Jingzhou's internal affairs, and when it caused turmoil, he might not be able to profit from it.

But he didn't expect this plan to kill Liu Biao, and he had a feeling that happiness came too suddenly.

Therefore, early in the morning, Guo Jia, Xun You and others were summoned to Sikong Mansion to discuss how to take Jingzhou while the chaos was taking place.

"Sikong, the son inherits his father's business, and he suggests that Jingzhou be given to Liu Cong, not only that, but Cai Mao should be canonized as the right general, and the governor of the world's water divisions."

"Lure it down?"

Cao Cao sat on the handsome chair, fiddled with his short beard and looked at Xun You, and said in a deep voice: "Just like this, I'm afraid it's not enough for Cai Mao to hand over Jingzhou willingly." ”

"Grace and power are combined, and if there is grace, of course, there must be authority."

Xun You twisted his gray beard, "Sikong can gather troops and horses first, and when Liu Biao's sacrifice is over, he will issue a holy decree to crusade against Liu Bei in the name of the Son of Heaven, and it will inevitably be borrowed from Jingzhou at that time. ”

"Good strategy!"

Cao Cao bowed his head with satisfaction, this trick is really good, let the Son of Heaven issue an edict to canonize the two of them first, and then go south three months later, Cai Mao has no reason to refuse.

Xun You's goal is clear, the attack is accurate, Jingzhou has a change of master, Cai Mao is still the right general and the governor of the water division, but if he disobeys, then the situation will be different, he will become a rebel in righteousness, and other families will also break with him.

"The only thing I can't worry about is Youzhou, it's not easy to promote Yuan Xi's rebellion against Lu now, if we transfer the army away, Lu Bu will take the opportunity to make trouble, Yuan Xi is not Lin Mo's opponent at all."

In Cao Cao's plan, as long as Lu Bu dared to move, he could lead his troops north, and at the same time let Xiahoudun of Bingzhou attack from the flank, so that the entire northern country would fall into a three-sided battle, no matter how wise Lin Mo was, it would be difficult to take care of it.

"Lin Mo does have the means, one move, two peaches and three soldiers easily stabilized the Northern Family, and now he does have the ability to attack Youzhou."

Guo Jia stood up and laughed softly: "However, now that Lu Bu has also agreed to the marriage of the Cui family, as long as this thing is done, even if Lu Bu takes Youzhou, it will be difficult to escape the way of self-destruction in the end." ”

Cao Cao squinted, was silent, and let Lu Bu take Youzhou, and finally draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle?

It's not impossible, as long as the Cui family doesn't make a mistake, Lu Bu and Lin Mo will definitely go hostile.

These two people, who loses whom, are destined to be unsuccessful.

What's more, Jingzhou, as the belly of the world and its own strategic backyard, is enough to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which is more important than Youzhou after all.

Especially after Lu Bu took the land of the two states in the northern country, his comprehensive strength was already above him.

Cao Cao finally nodded, "Okay, let's do what you want." ”
