Chapter 165: The situation suddenly changed, and Yuan Shu acted to death
Qingzhou Rui soldiers, who are selected from the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and are good at fighting, are difficult for ordinary generals to restrain their military discipline.
If the military discipline is not clear, it will make the Qingzhou Rui soldiers unchangeable and rob arbitrarily, which is not good for Liu Bei, who has always adhered to benevolence and faithfulness.
Although there are many fierce generals in Qingzhou, those who can restrain Qingzhou Ruishi and train them into a division of tigers and wolves, the candidate in Zheng Ping's heart is more inclined to the combination of forbidden and full favor.
It is used to train Qingzhou Ruishi with Ban and Full Favor, with Zhang Fei as the general, Yu Ban as the deputy, Zhang Hong as the military advisor, and Full Pet as the military leader, which is enough to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Ruishi to the extreme.
However, after torturing Zhang Bao, the superintendent of the post who was corrupt and corrupt, he resigned, and his whereabouts are unknown, and Zheng Ping has been secretly ordering You Heng to visit Yanzhou.
And Yu Ban is now under Bao Xin's command, and he is stationed in Dongwuyang with Bao Xin, which is a good time for Shi En to be seconded.
Seeing Liu Bei asking, Zheng Ping shook the fan lightly and said slowly:
"This person's surname is forbidden, and the words are written in the table, and he is from Juping County, Taishan County."
"Yu Wen has a resolute and steady personality, holds the army strictly, is good at using the law to make the army, and is known as majestic."
"It is the best choice to train Qingzhou Ruishi!"
Liu Bei was happy in his heart.
The three armies are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find.
This kind of good general who can hold the army is even more difficult to find.
Although Yu Ban is Bao Xin's subordinate, everyone is now a Hanchen, and Yu Ban is only a normal subordinate relationship under Bao Xin, not Bao Xin's retainers.
Bao Xin is not wrong about the grace of forbidden, but if Liu Bei recommends Bao Xin to be the minister of Jibei, Liu Bei also recommends Bao Xin.
At that time, Qingzhou Mu seconded a ministry of Jibei Prime Minister to train Qingzhou state soldiers, and it is difficult to shirk Bao Xin in public and private!
Liu Bei nodded and said, "According to the words of Xianmou, I will send someone to Dongwuyang." β
One is for Yu Ban, a general, and the other is for Bao Xin, an ally, and recommending Bao Xin to be Jibei is beneficial and harmless to Qingzhou.
After all, Zhou Qiao, the assassin of Yuzhou recommended by Yuan Shao, was killed by Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan was stationed in Changshan Country to confront Yuan Shao, and it was impossible for Yuan Shao to have no resentment towards Liu Bei.
Although on the bright side, Yuan Shao will not enter Qingzhou in a down-to-earth manner, but it is difficult to guarantee that Yuan Shao will not instruct Liu Dai to enter Qingzhou, or recommend a certain Jibei Xiang and Qingzhou Assassin Shi to secretly invade Qingzhou.
And Liu Bei made the first move, letting Bao Xin serve as the minister of Jibei, and Bao Xin and Ying Shao blocked the west of Qingzhou, which was enough to make Xiaoxiao dare not invade Qingzhou easily.
The envoy was ordered to arrive in Dongwuyang, and said that Liu Bei wanted to recommend Bao Xin to be the prime minister of Jibei.
"Liu Yuanjun actually recommended me to be the prime minister of Jibei?" Bao Xin was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly came to see Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and subconsciously began to doubt Liu Bei's intentions: "Liu Bei has repeatedly sabotaged the original deployment, but now he is showing favor and sincerity, is there any fraud in this?" β
Bao Xin said in a condensed voice: "There are traitors in the court who overthrow the royal family, and there are heroes in the world who respond to the righteousness. β
"But now at the beginning, he only cared about fighting for power and profit, not only stealing Jizhou, but also sending people south to Yuzhou to compete with Yuan Shu."
"Kanto will be in chaos, and there will be another Dong Zhuo."
"If we fight against the primordial, I am afraid that we will not be able to control it, and if we are in the same stream as the primordial, it will violate the righteousness we insist on."
"It's better to wait for the south of the Yellow River to see what happens!"
"I was originally from Taishan County, and I served as the minister of Jibei, so I can get along with Ying Shao in the south, and I can get along with Liu Bei in the east, so I can be worry-free for the time being."
Cao Cao saw that Bao Xin had the determination to become the prime minister of Jibei, and he also knew that Bao Xin would not do anything to stay in Dongwuyang.
After a pause, Cao Cao proposed: "Although it was recommended by Liu Bei, it is also necessary to inform Ben Chu, so as to avoid conflicts with Liu Dai." Yuncheng can cultivate and recuperate in Jibei Kingdom, and wait for the opportunity. β
The news reached Yecheng.
Yuan Shao was suddenly furious: "The big-eared thief first killed my Yuzhou assassin Shi Zhou Qiao, and then sent people to lobby Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, and Ling Gongsun Zan stationed troops in Changshan Country to harm me, and now he dares to recommend Bao Xin to be the prime minister of Jibei!" β
"Send someone to Dongwuyang to tell Bao Xin that if he dares to be the prime minister of Jibei, he will be my enemy!"
Yuan Shao's heart was very angry.
thought that Liu Bei would come to persuade peace, so Gongsun Zhan could only stay in Youzhou honestly.
As a result, Changshan Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom suddenly announced their separation from Jizhou and dependence on Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan led 10,000 foot riders all the way to Changshan Country with great fanfare, as if Yuan Shao did not know.
What made Yuan Shao even more angry was that the spies who went to Youzhou to inquire about intelligence easily got the information that Liu Bei sent Zheng Ping to lobby Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu!
Such confidential information was easily discovered, which simply didn't take Yuan Shao seriously!
Gongsun Zhan even sent someone to tell Yuan Shao that it was immoral to put him under house arrest, and that if he and his family were sent to Changshan Kingdom safely, then everyone would be fine.
If you don't send it, then you will see the real chapter on the battlefield.
Yuan Shao's three armies have not yet had time to be purged, and Changshan Kingdom is not far from Yecheng, if Gongsun Zan really desperately goes south to attack Yecheng, no matter whether he wins or loses, Yuan Shao will be greatly injured.
If he couldn't repel Gongsun Zhan, the counties of Jizhou, which had just been attached, would be suspicious of Yuan Shao.
After all, attaching to Yuan Shao is for profit, but Yuan Shao can't even beat Gongsun Zhan, and he is still blocked in Yecheng and can't get out, who would want to rely on Yuan Shao?
Yuan Shao deliberately complained to Liu Yu about Gongsun Zan in order to delay time to purge the three armies.
It is not in Yuan Shao's interests to start a war now.
Yuan Shao could only endure his anger and send the frustration gift out of the country, and make peace with Gongsun Zhan.
Xu You had a close relationship with Cao Cao and Bao Xin, and when he saw this, he immediately persuaded: "The original anger is over!" General Bao has always supported Ben Chu, if he is angry with General Bao because of Liu Bei, it will be against Liu Bei's plan to discord. β
"The counties of Yanzhou, Chenliu County and Taishan County are not subject to Liu Dai, and Shanyang County and Jiyin County are all from the original clan."
"And Dongjun, Jibeiguo, Dongpingguo, and Renchengguo are all controlled by Liu Dai."
"General Bao did not immediately agree to Liu Bei's recommendation, but sent someone to inform Ben Chu in advance, which is enough to prove that General Bao is committed to Ben Chu."
"Besides, letting General Bao be the prime minister of Jibei can not only ease the contradiction with Liu Bei, but also further take charge of Yanzhou."
Yuan Shao's anger gradually subsided, but he was still dissatisfied in his heart: "The big-eared thief has repeatedly ruined my good deeds, both of them are the best in the world, can't you think of some means to make the big-eared thief suffer some hardship?" β
Xu You was silent.
He had already advised Yuan Shao, the credit was enough, there was no need to make trouble for himself again.
Guo Tu's eyes rolled, he smiled yin, and made a suggestion: "Ming Gong, as long as you carefully study Liu Bei's various behaviors, you can guess Liu Bei's purpose." β
"Qingzhou is now short of money and food, and it is most taboo that there is a war in the neighboring states and counties, so Liu Bei will spare no effort to maneuver among the forces of the five states of Youji, Yanyu and Xu."
"This is true of the alliance with Yuan Shu, and the same is true of the major affairs of the Ming Dynasty."
"Now that you know Liu Bei's purpose, you can use a plan against Liu Bei."
"When the Ming Dynasty first decided on Jizhou, he naturally did not dare to be enemies with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu and Liu Bei at the same time, so the Ming Dynasty had to endure this matter north of the Yellow River."
"But south of the Yellow River, Yuan Shu's strength is not as good as that of Ming Gong!"
"Duke Ming can send someone to Yuzhou to spread the news, just say that Liu Bei and Chen Wang Liu Chong are united and want to seize Yuzhou!"
"With Yuan Shu's brain, he can't guess Liu Bei's true purpose, so he can't see through Ming Gong's divisive plan, because he will only see Liu Bei's subordinates join forces with Liu Pet in Yuzhou!"
"And the future situation may evolve into a clan alliance of Qingzhou Liu Bei, Yuzhou Liu Pet, and Jingzhou Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu will become a turtle in the urn."
"Once Yuan Shu has a plan, he will inevitably withdraw his troops back to Yuzhou, and the goal that Zhou Qiao failed to achieve will be achieved."
"And the soldiers and horses that Liu Bei provided to Lu Zhi will also be trapped in Luoyang because of Yuan Shu's withdrawal."
"If Yuan Shu is more ruthless, this army may be buried in Luoyang."
"Lu Zhi died in Luoyang, and Liu Bei's enmity with Yuan Shu is endless!"
Yuan Shao stroked his palms and laughed: "Wonderful! Wonderful! The strategy of public rules is very happy. Yuan Highway is a stupid child, how can he know such a strategy? β
"Even if there is advice from a resourceful person, with the temperament of a highway child, he will not listen to persuasion."
Now the trial and discipline have been sent by Yuan Shao to purge the three armies.
Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and others also have their own important government affairs.
The only people who conspired under the account were Xu You and Guo Tu.
Guo Tu was recommended by Xu You, and he is better at being a person than Feng Ji, and there is no conflict between the two for the time being.
Therefore, Guo Tu offered a plan, and Xu Yu also gave Guo Tu a chance to perform as he did when he treated Feng Ji.
A strategy is set.
Yuan Shao sent someone to reply to Bao Xin, asking Bao Xin to respond to Liu Bei's recommendation to serve as the prime minister of Jibei; On the other hand, he sent people to Yuzhou to spread rumors that Liu Bei wanted to unite with Liu Chong to seize Yuzhou.
I have to say.
The discord meter is very useful for Yuan Shu.
As soon as the rumors in Yuzhou were heard, Yuan Shu suddenly became suspicious of Liu Bei, and immediately summoned Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Li Ye, and Han Yin to discuss.
Yan Xiang has an upright personality, and immediately admonished: "The rumors stop at the wise, this must be because Yuan Shao failed to plot to seize Yuzhou, and deliberately sent people to spread rumors, so that Ming Gong and Liu Zhijun turned against each other." β
"Ming Gong must not fall for Yuan Shao's discordant plan!"
Yuan Shu was a little unhappy.
What does it mean that rumors stop at the wise?
Does it mean that I, Yuan Shu, am a fool?
Yang Hong observed the words and looked at the color, and said carefully: "The orange sentence comes to the nest, and the wind comes from the ground, this rumor will not appear out of thin air." β
"Maybe Liu Bei doesn't mean to seize Yuzhou, but it's hard to guarantee that King Chen doesn't have this idea."
"Last time, King Chen promised King Qin, ostensibly claiming to be the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, but the army did not even come out of the Chen State."
"It's better to send someone to Chen to borrow grain, if King Chen is willing to borrow grain, it means that the rumors are false; If King Chen refuses to borrow grain, it means that the rumors are true. β
Yuan Shu was overjoyed: "The long history is reasonable. Who wants to go to Chen as an envoy? β
Han Yin volunteered: "Han is willing to go to Chen for Ming Gong, with Han's ability, he will definitely be able to make King Chen donate food." β
After Han Yin left, Yuan Shu asked Yan Xiang to retreat, leaving only Yang Hong and Li Ye.
"Gongsun Yue found the general before, and he can help the general swallow Liu Yu's three thousand cavalry."
"The general is short of cavalry, so it's better to hold a banquet today and take the opportunity to kill Xian Yuqian!"
Yuan Shu licked his lips, his eyes greedy.
Three thousand cavalry!
Even if the cavalry resists, it will be 3,000 war horses!
Yang Hong suggested: "If you want to kill Xian Yu Qian, you have to do it yourself. In this way, even if someone is held accountable in the future, we can push Gongsun Yue out of the guilt. β
"At the same time, Liu He was placed under house arrest, and it was said that Liu He had returned to Youzhou."
Yuan Shu was overjoyed: "It's still a long history with a strategy, and Yan Xiang is an elm head." β
Night.
Yuan Shu set up a banquet in the mansion, and then invited Xian Yuqian and Gongsun Yue to the banquet.
Xian Yuqian did not doubt that he had him, and he happily came to the banquet.
When the wine was drunk, Gongsun Yue suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Xian Yuqian in half.
Poor Xian Yu Qian, he didn't even have time to struggle before he died!
"Gongsun Yue, you are really sincere!" Yuan Shu was very happy to see that he had killed Xian Yuqian easily, so he asked Ji Ling to carry Xian Yuqian's head and appease the three thousand cavalry on the charge of Xian Yuqian's collusion with Yuan Shao's assassination.
By the time Gongsun Fan arrived, Ji Ling had already controlled the three thousand Youzhou soldiers.
"Brother Yue, it's a bad thing!" Gongsun Fan hurriedly informed Gongsun Yue of Gongsun Zhan's secret order.
Gongsun Yue was also shocked into a cold sweat: "Now that Xian Yuqian is dead, you have to intercept Liu Yu's messenger immediately, otherwise my brother will be in danger in Youzhou." β
And on the other side.
When Hua Ji was looking for Liu He, he heard that Liu He had returned to Youzhou, and immediately became suspicious: "How could Yuan Shu let Liu Shizhong go back to Youzhou?" Could it be that what Brother Xianmou was worried about still happened? β
Thinking of this, Hua Ji couldn't help but shudder.
Hua Ji and Qingzhou have always had secret letter exchanges, Zheng Ping sent a secret letter to Hua Ji before he sent an envoy to Youzhou, so that Hua Ji paid close attention to the three thousand cavalry from Youzhou.
Hua Zhi, who was secretly suspicious, went to visit Xian Yuqian again, but was told that Xian Yuqian had been ordered to go to Luoyang to reinforce Sun Jian.
"It's broken! Liu Shizhong and General Xian Yu must have had an accident. β
"I can't stay in Luyang anymore."
Sensing the danger, Hua Ji lied that he had received news from Hua Xin in Jingzhou and was going to Xiangyang.
Yuan Shu was also worried that Hua Ji would notice the changes in Liu He and Xian Yuqian, and he also pushed the boat to let Hua Ji go to Xiangyang.
As soon as he arrived at the boundary of Xiangyang, Hua Ji immediately turned back to the direction of Xuzhou, and there was a major change in Luyang, and Hua Ji had to immediately send the information to Qingzhou.
And in the meantime.
The battle in Luoyang also took a decisive turn.
Sun Jian and Lu Zhi joined forces and designed to lure Dong Zhuo out of the city.
Although Li Ru made a plan, Li Ru was only a scribe before, and although he knew some tactics and tactics, he was far inferior to Lu Zhi.
Dong Zhuo, who thought he had a plan, personally led his troops to fight Sun Jian and Lu Zhi, but was ambushed and severely damaged by Sun Jianjun and Lu Zhijun.
The brave and warlike son Lu Bu was even almost beheaded by Sun Jian and Guan Yu combined.
Dong Zhuo, who was terrified, left Lu Bu to garrison Luoyang, and transferred to Mianchi and Shaanxi City.
Sun Jian and Lu Zhi waved their troops to attack Luoyang and engaged LΓΌ Bu.
Lu Bu was afraid of Sun Jian and Guan Yu's bravery, so he didn't dare to fight to the death at all, and after resisting for a while, he retreated to Tongguan.
For the first time, the Dong Alliance Army entered Luoyang!
