"Zheng Junshi's meaning, Hong can't quite understand." Zang Hong asked suspiciously: "Hong Wei was ordered by the edict, how can he declare war on Yuan Wei?" ”

Zheng Ping said without thinking: "This is not a war between the two countries, why do you need to ask the Son of Heaven for instructions?" ”

"Hebei Yuan rebelled, supported the puppet emperor and rebelled against the Han Dynasty, people of insight in the world, everyone was punished."

"Zang Envoy Jun is a Yanzhou pastor, and he has the right to rebel and eliminate thieves, and he can fight without declaring it."

"Declaring war on Yuan Rebellion is just for Cao Cao of Xu Du."

"Zang envoy Jun is in front of the battle, if there are traitors who intrude on him, it is for the enemy!"

"In this way, Cao Cao's trick can be broken!"

Zang Hong suddenly realized.

Although Yuan Shao supported the establishment of the puppet emperor and called himself the general of the Han Dynasty, the puppet emperor was a thief, and Yuan Shao was no different from Zhang Chun, who claimed to be the general of Mitian in the past.

To eliminate the thieves, you need to ask the Son of Heaven for instructions, so what else does Zang Hong, the Yanzhou pastor, do?

Since the moment Yuan Shao supported the establishment of the puppet emperor, the state ministers of various states have already had the right to send troops to sweep away Yuan Rebellious.

If anyone thinks that sweeping Yuan Rey is sending troops for no reason, then who is a traitor who fornicated with Yuan Rebellious.

Although there is a certain controversy over the law, there is also a Qingzhou next to Yanzhou.

Liu Bei wants to support Zang Hong, and Cao Cao has to shut up.

This is Zheng Ping's confidence to let Zang Hong declare war on Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao endured it, and he could no longer use tricks against Yanzhou.

Cao Cao couldn't bear it, so Liu Bei had a reason to use troops against Cao Cao.

Playing yang conspiracy and taking advantage of morality, Cao Cao can, and Zheng Ping can also do it.

"Hong, thank you for the advice of Junshi Zheng." Zang Hong got up and saluted Zheng Ping again.

Zang Hong is good at internal affairs and people's livelihood, and he is not good at controlling the overall situation, and he is also not good at dealing with Cao Cao's intrigues.

Now with Zheng Ping's gift, Zang Hong has a clearer understanding of the current situation.

After chatting for a while, Zang Hong hurriedly returned to Dongping to regain military power, and Zheng Ping did not stop him.

However, Zhang Fei was reluctant to give up on Gao Shun: "Peping, let me tell you, there are many iron mines in Qingzhou, as long as you are willing to come, I can build heavy armor for you." ”

Gao Shun glanced up at Zang Hong, and politely refused: "Shun Zeng heard that his body is upright, and he will not obey orders, and his body is not right, although he will not obey orders." ”

"Zang Zhijun treats Shun quite kindly, and he is also a benevolent and virtuous gentleman, how can Shun abandon Zang Zhijun and go?"

Zhang Fei saw that Gao Shun was not tempted by interests from beginning to end, and he admired Gao Shun even more.

As the saying goes: A martyr does not have a second husband, and a loyal minister does not have two masters.

People who are loyal and affectionate are the most awe-inspiring.

Zhang Fei raised the bottle and saluted: "Peping is loyal, I admire it the most." If Boping has leisure, he can come to Qingzhou to find me and talk about the friendship of friends. ”

Gao Shun also replied: "It is also an honor for Shun to meet Yide. ”

Sending Zang Hong and Gao Shun out of the city, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Peping is a loyal and righteous person, but it's a pity that I am not as good as my eldest brother, and it is difficult to recruit for my eldest brother." ”

Zheng Ping shook his fan and chuckled: "Yide, you are in the game, and you don't know the general trend." ”

"Gao Boping is loyal and righteous, and he refuses to serve the two masters, if he is allowed to abandon Zang Ziyuan and go, it will violate his loyalty and ruin his reputation, even if he goes to your Ruishi camp, Gao Boping will not be able to let go."

"It's better to think differently."

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer and asked, "Strategist, don't hide it, how can you change your thinking?" ”

Zheng Ping's feather fan swept away: "As long as Zang Ziyuan is respected by the envoy, Gao Boping will naturally be under the command of the envoy, which will not damage Gao Boping's reputation for loyalty and righteousness, but also make Gao Boping's prestige famous in the world." ”

Zhang Fei suddenly realized, stroked his palm and praised: "It is worthy of being a military advisor, why didn't I expect it!" Since Peping can't bear to give up Zang Ziyuan, then directly let Zang Ziyuan also work for his eldest brother. ”

"Wonderful!"

After a pause, Zhang Fei asked again, "Strategist, where are we going next?" ”

Zheng Ping looked in the direction of Jibeiguo: "Let's go to Jibeiguo to see Bao Xin first, although Bao Xin is the minister of Jibei recommended by the envoy, but Bao Xin and Cao Cao are old friends, and we must confirm Bao Xin's position first." ”

Although the state pastor has the right to appoint and dismiss the minister of the county, Zang Hong, the Yanzhou pastor, is more Buddhist and focuses on the people's livelihood in Yanzhou, and rarely takes the initiative to install cronies.

Therefore, the Taishou of Yanzhou County has hardly changed.

Bidding farewell to Ying Shao, Zheng Ping and Zhang Fei went straight to Lu County, the seat of Jibei State.

And on the other side.

Zang Hong and Gao Shun returned to Zhangcheng, Guoshou, Dongping, gathered the civil and military forces in the city, and decided to declare war on Yuan Shao.

Immediately, Hao Meng's confidant Zheng Hu came out to object: "Your Majesty has an edict, let me wait to go to Chen Liu, so that you can declare war on Yuan Shao at this time, but what does it mean?" ”

With the first, there is the second.

One after another, six or seven Yanzhou generals came out to oppose it.

Looking at this group of arrogant generals, Zang Hong's eyes gradually turned cold: "Whether it is to welcome the car or declare war, it is not your turn to place the beak." This is a command, not a consultation. ”

Zheng Hu was not afraid: "Envoy, I think that this matter should be decided after consulting with General Hao." Declare war on Yuan Shao in disregard of His Majesty's dictation, and please forgive the last general for the crime of disrespect. ”

Zang Hong sneered: "You even know that you are guilty of disrespect? If you are disrespectful, how should you be punished? ”

Zheng Hu was stunned.

I'm saving your face, how dare you really ask for punishment?

Gao Shun listed: "The crime of disrespect should be punished with a rod for thirty years, as an example." ”

Zheng Hu was furious when he heard this: "Gao Shun, you dare to harm me?"

Gao Shun glanced at Zheng Hu coldly: "The general's official position is higher than you, but you call the general's name, the crime is increased by one degree, and you should be punished with forty rods." ”

Zheng Hu suddenly changed color and scolded: "Gao Shun, I am under the command of General Hao, and it is not your turn to take care of it!" If you want to torture me with a cane, you have to take General Hao's military order. ”

"Presumptuous!" Zang Hong took the case: "Zheng Hu, do you still have me, Yanzhou pastor, in your eyes?" ”

Zheng Hu saw that Zang Hong wanted to stand up and was willing to give in, so he laughed and said: "Zang Envoy, I respect you as the state pastor, so I call you an envoy." ”

"But don't forget, you, the Yanzhou pastor, I waited for the Yanzhou people to nominate you before you became the person."

"Without the support of Yanzhou people such as us, you are just a small Guangling Gongcao."

"Don't forget your roots! Zhang Situ and Chen Shangshu can make you this Yanzhou pastor, or you can't be this Yanzhou pastor. ”

Before summoning the civil and military forces, Zang Hong was actually confident in his reputation in Yanzhou.

Confident that you don't have to kill people to be powerful.

Zheng Hu's attitude made Zang Hong really understand Zheng Ping's sentence "Zang Envoy, you should draw your sword and kill the general".

"General Gao, kill this thief immediately!" Zang Hong's killing intent was together, and his breath became thick.

Anyway, it was the people who sacrificed to heaven and earth to read out the text of Dong Yu before hundreds of thousands of Dong allies, Zang Hong is a humble gentleman who is not angry on weekdays, and this anger is more terrifying than that of a tiger.

As soon as the words fell, Gao Shun was like a swift cheetah, stepping and drawing his sword, Zheng Hu, who had no time to react, was directly pierced by the sword, and then drew his sword, Zheng Hu stared at the dead eyes and fell down.

"Who else, do you want to object?" Zang Hong swept away all the civil and military forces in anger, like an angry lion.

Zhong Wenwu looked at Zang Hong in astonishment, wondering why Zang Hong, who had always been approachable, suddenly became so strong?

Seeing that the civil and military forces did not answer, Zang Hong pointed to the table with his right hand and said, "Hand over the talisman, but stay and wait for your life." If not, Zheng Hu will be the end of you. ”

The generals looked at each other, and saw that Zheng Hu was killed by Gao Shun, so they had to obediently return the talisman.

Zang Hong handed the talisman to Gao Shun and ordered: "General Gao, before sunset, if anyone in Shouzhang City does not obey my orders, they will all be beheaded!" ”

"As for these generals, they will be put in prison first, and then they will be tried!"

Hao Meng was not there, Zheng Hu died again, and the remaining generals were deprived of the talismans, and the generals of Shou Zhangcheng were leaderless.

Gao Shun is also an iron-faced ruthless, as long as anyone dares to disobey orders, they will be ruthlessly killed by Gao Shun.

At dusk, all the soldiers and horses of Shouzhangcheng were controlled by Zang Hong and handed over to Gao Shun under the command.

After taking control of the military power, Zang Hong immediately spread the news to all the counties of Yanzhou and openly declared war on Yuan Shao!

At the same time, he sent his cronie Chen Rong to Dongjun to deploy defense in Baimajin, with the momentum of gathering Yanzhou's strength to go all out for the Northern Expedition.

Chen Liu.

Zhang Chao and Hao Meng, who got the change in Shou Zhangcheng, were shocked.

Zhang Chao asked Hao Meng in surprise: "General Hao, didn't you say that all the generals in Yanzhou, except for Gao Shun, listened to your orders?" Why did Zang Ziyuan order the generals of Yanzhou to declare war on Yuan Shao? ”

Hao Meng's face turned blue and white for a while.

Shou Zhangcheng's accident slapped Hao Meng in the face.

Hao Meng's eyes were fierce: "Damn, it must be Zheng Ping who lobbied Zang Hong!" Qingzhou must have sent troops, otherwise Zang Hong would not have been able to control Shouzhang's soldiers and horses. ”

Zhang Chao's face was gloomy: "Yanzhou soldiers and horses can't be driven, bad brother is a big deal!" I shouldn't have trusted you, if I had known that you couldn't take charge of the Yanzhou soldiers and horses, I wouldn't have written to my brother to do what was scheduled. ”

Hao Meng saw Zhang Chao blaming herself, and her already irritable mood instantly became more manic: "General Zhang, you can't say that." The last general gambled his life with you to stay there. ”

"Zang Hong was recommended by Zhang Situ, but now he betrayed Zhang Situ, how can he blame the last general for doing things badly?"

Zhang Chao saw that Hao Meng actually turned back on himself, and he was even more angry in his heart.

But thinking that Hao Meng still had a soldier and horse in his hand, Zhang Chao restrained himself again.

Long.

Zhang Chao took a deep breath and said, "General Hao, it is useless to argue about right and wrong now. As long as he succeeds in meeting Chenliu, Zang Hong can only send troops. ”

Hao Meng rolled his eyes and agreed with his mouth, but in his heart he was seeking a way out.

"Zhang Miao can't do things anymore, and Zang Hong's incompetent people will inevitably not be able to sit firmly in Yanzhou."

"Now south of the Yellow River, only Cao Cao and Liu Bei are qualified to compete for power."

"Zang Hong voted for Liu Bei, if I go back, I will inevitably be poisoned by Zang Hong, for today's plan, only by voting for Cao Cao can I live."

"Cao Cao definitely doesn't know about the Yanzhou incident now, if I go to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely be reused."

Come to think of it.

Hao Meng's eyes suddenly changed, and when Zhang Chao turned around, a sword pierced Zhang Chao.

"General Hao, you?" Zhang Chao's face was full of doubts, and it was difficult to understand why Hao Meng would backstab himself.

Hao Meng smiled and said: "General Zhang, I'm sorry, the last general just wants to live!" Just this point of soldiers and horses to meet the car, but the mantis arm is used as a car, and it will kill itself. ”

"If you want to blame, blame yourselves, and elected a Yanzhou pastor who is kind to Liu Bei."

Zhang Chao's eyes gradually drifted.

Hao Meng beheaded Zhang Chao, and then wrote a letter to his brother Hao Jian: "Ah Jian, you immediately go to Xu Du to see Cao Sikong, and say that Zang Hong has voted for Liu Bei, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong want to kidnap the Son of Heaven and go to Chen Liu." ”

"Although I, Hao Meng, am a Yanzhou general, I will not do that perverse act like Zhang Miao, and I will dedicate Zhang Chao's head to show my sincerity!"

Hao Jian did not hesitate, and took Hao Meng's letter and Zhang Chao's head to Xudu.

Seeing Zhang Chao's head and Hao Meng's letter, Cao Cao's little eyes were a little more mocking.

"General Hao's loyalty, this Sikong remembers, when the disaster is pacified, your two brothers will be crowned princes."

Cao Cao was full of foolish words, but in Hao Jian's ears, it was like a heavenly sound.

"The last general will thank Sikong!"

Cao Cao said again: "But before that, I have to ask General Hao to find Zhang Miao, just say that Zang Hong has secretly stationed 30,000 soldiers and horses in Fugou County, Chenliu, and let Zhang Miao quickly protect the Son of Heaven to Fugou." ”

"Even if you go to deceive Zhang Miao, this Sikong will lie and go out of the city to hunt, and give Zhang Miao the opportunity to take the Son of Heaven to Chen Liu."

Hao Jian hurriedly swore an oath: "The last general will strictly obey Sikong's order, if there are two hearts, heaven and man will kill together." ”

After Hao Jian left, Cao Cao's eyes became gloomy: "What a Zang Hong, he would choose Liu Bei!" After solving Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, I'll clean you up again! ”

"This Yanzhou can only be ruled by me, Cao Mengde, and no one can set foot in it!"

The other side.

Hao Jian came to Zhang Miao's mansion at night and lied that Zang Hong had agreed to send troops.

Zhang Miao recognized Hao Jian and had no suspicions about Hao Jian's words, so he summoned Chen Gong overnight to discuss.

Chen Gong was cautious, and after carefully interrogating Hao Jian, he also believed Hao Jian's lies.

Hao Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of Cao Cao's promise to be a marquis, Hao Jian couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Following.

Cao Cao went out of the city to hunt, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong suddenly felt that the opportunity had come.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already said that Zang Hong will be moved, and now Fugou County, on the border of Chenliu, has secretly stationed 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zang Hong."

"Cao thief went out of the city to hunt today, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, please Your Majesty immediately go out of the city in disguise with your ministers."

Liu Xie frowned slightly: "I am the only one who goes out of the city, what about the ministers and officials?" ”

Zhang Miao said: "As long as His Majesty arrives in Chenliu, the ministers and officials will naturally find a way to follow." Your Majesty, without further ado, please quickly follow your ministers out of the city. ”

Liu Xie saw that he couldn't refuse, so he could only dress up in disguise with Queen Fu and Dong Guiren, and follow Zhang Miao out of the palace gate.

The tiger general at the gate of the palace only symbolically checked it, and then didn't ask more.

Although Zhang Miao was a little confused, he didn't think much about it, just thinking that this tiger would be careless.

When they arrived at the city gate, Chen Gong was already waiting, and as soon as the money was handed over, the city gate guards let the carriage go out of the city.

Chen Gong also didn't care, after all, this city gate guard has always been greedy for money, which is obvious to all.

However.

As soon as the carriage left, the city gate guards found Cao Hong: "General, this is the gold and silver that Chen Shangshu bribed." ”

Cao Hong glanced at it and said, "Leave half of it, and send the rest to the general's mansion to credit you." ”

The city gate guards were overjoyed: "General Xie." ”

Cao Hong looked coldly at the direction of the carriage, and said to Cao Zhen, the young general next to him: "Quickly send a message to Sikong, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong have left the city, and there is a carriage." ”
