Chapter 63: Distant and close attack, raising wolves for battle!
"Bo Changke thinks that the Son of Heaven in Chang'an will change at any time, so he wants to contact Dong Zhao to negotiate?" Cao Cao first asked a question that seemed superficial, but had already guessed Zhang Han's thoughts.
Zhang Han Zhengse arched his hand and said: "The Son of Heaven thinks of returning, and he will definitely plan to move back, and Luoyang has been destroyed and cannot be inhabited, since he was summoned to save the driver, how will the princes of the world choose at that time?" β
I think that no matter how they choose, the lord should be the first to go to the rescue without hesitation! In this way, the name of benevolence, loyalty, and the name of the country will spread all over the world! β
"If the Son of Heaven is here, how should I deal with myself, but I think about it, but it is also a constraint......" Cao Cao pretended to sigh, looked up at the sky, and actually glanced at Zhang Han, showing a hint of cunning on his face.
"The Son of Heaven is not subordinate to the order!" Zhang Han said sonorously, "The lord should pretend to hold the sword of the Son of Heaven, sweep away the Liuhe Rebellion, and make the disintegrated Han return to its peak." β
Okay, a good sentence to serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate.
Cao Cao was secretly pleasantly surprised, but at this moment, he quickly threw out the last question, "If you have a great cause, what will happen after that?" β
This is not a strategy, Cao Cao is not such a mediocre person who is ambitious, what he really wants to ask is Zhang Han's heart.
Zhang Han lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "There are two in the world on Wednesday, and it is like a minister, and the saint is called the most virtuous. Later, there is no way to do business, and those who cherish virtue can be replaced. β
"Hmph, hehehe, hahaha......" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed, his black and gray beard fluttering, and his heart was suddenly enlightened.
Zhang Bochang, a good sentence of virtue, can be replaced. With this sentence alone, it is already clear that he must be facing me and not towards Han.
What's more, the first half of the sentence has already explained the great strategy, and even the righteous path has already figured out how to go, which is worthy of my Cao Mou's favorite woman...... The young leader!
I will write these words in my poems in the future!
Cao Cao didn't think so far, but he had this thought in his heart.
Now he is still vaguely the one who wants to leave a name in history, shake the past and the present, and be a hero of the country in troubled times.
But Zhang Han's words made his thoughts clear, like an enlightenment, if you want to be the most virtuous person, you don't have to worry about it day and night, you should stay in the long run.
At present, take the world first!
β¦β¦
Pengcheng.
The city gate was wide open, Cao Cao led the army to honor the guard, lined up to welcome Liu Bei, the officials standing in the city on both sides, and there were the people of Pengcheng in the distance.
Some Confucian scholars saw this scene and spread it widely.
The people who followed behind Liu Bei wept bitterly when they saw the food and kettle, and they were grateful.
This matter spread into Xuzhou like a tide in an instant, and in just ten days, it continued to ferment.
Let the whole Xuzhou be ready to move.
Even a benevolent monarch like Liu Bei left, abandoning Xuzhou and voting for Cao, proving that Lu Bu's government was tyranny! Non-benevolent!
"I have heard that Xuande Gonggong aspires to the land of benevolence and righteousness! Unswerving! Now he abandoned Lu Bu and voted for Cao! You can ponder ......"
"If I want to vote for Cao, I'd rather live in seclusion in Yanzhou than see corpses all over Xuzhou."
"Yes, we are powerless to compete, people are soft-spoken, but they can be discarded like clogs!"
β¦β¦
"Those merchants' families are also migrating their families, I heard that tens of thousands of people are leaving with Liu Yuanjun, and Xiaqiu is almost an empty city......
"The people can go, the family business can be abandoned, and they have to leave Lu Bu, when will Xuzhou have a Ming master!"
β¦β¦
"I choose Cao Gong! We should welcome Cao Gong to govern Xuzhou, so that we can be quiet and peaceful, and the money and grain can be put into the warehouse! β
"Lu Bu is a thief, he only knows how to conscript, and he doesn't care about the lives of Li Min!!"
"I also choose Cao Gong, he can lead us to keep peace and protect the territory and the people!"
For a time, rumors spread in Xuzhou, and people's hearts were scattered, panicked, and it was difficult to suppress.
Even if Lu Bu patrolled day and night with force, soldiers and horses, he could not suppress these rumors by maintaining law and order, and the most terrible thing was that because he had absorbed too many conscripted new soldiers, even the army could not suppress the low morale at this time.
Many soldiers were reluctant to go to war with Yanzhou, and they were very worried about the future of grain and grass, and the prospects could be described as difficult and worrying.
At this time, Xuzhou really reached the most difficult time.
Upstairs in Picheng, Confucian in black robes and crowned hats walked all the way up, and quickly walked into the gatehouse.
Hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Fengxian, did you drink again today!?" β
As soon as he approached, he smelled a smell of wine.
"No," Lu Bu smiled and got up, looking a little lonely, he deeply realized during this time that he did not have the ability to govern a state.
Although he recruited many manpower from the Shiren faction and the Danyang faction as soon as he took office, the follow-up decrees were still confused, and all he could take into account was to make strong troops and horses, and accumulate grain and grass.
can govern the counties, and he doesn't know how to appoint and promote officials, so he can only rely on two people, Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son.
But these two fathers and sons didn't help each other, they just acted according to orders, and whenever it was time for a major decision, or when Lu Bu asked for advice, they would keep their mouths shut and say nothing.
In short, they pretended to be stupid and didn't have any strategy, and at first, Lu Bu just lamented that the situation was difficult, and even their local big clan officials and eunuchs had nothing to do.
And although Chen Gong has a strategy, there is no one to use, after all, he is not a local, and the biggest problem is that Chen Gong's reputation has already stinked.
No matter what the reason, he first betrayed the Yanzhou clan to welcome Cao Cao, and ran around so that he could settle in Dongjun, and then rebelled against Cao Cao, and Zhang Miao intended to welcome Lu Bu.
These two things are enough to make people spurn, of course, they will not spit on Chen Gong in a big way, they only dislike it in their hearts; But the name of the cunning villain will be "crowned" on Lu Bu's head.
This is like Cao Cao's reward to Dian Wei, you don't have to make a big show and do things in a grand manner, but just say a word in private.
Because it's so confusing.
scolded Chen Gong too ruthlessly, what will be his retreat in the future? Whether or not you have no way to change your path, so it doesn't hurt to stay on the line.
As for Lu Bu, the vulgar Wuyuan Takefu, scolded him directly behind his back, and called Wen Hou from the heart in person, it was not a big problem.
"Right now, if Xuzhou wants to be at ease and govern internally, it's impossible, Feng Xian, I didn't want you to take over Xuzhou at the beginning, you should only take one place to settle down, and Tao Qian can check and balance each other, and the main political affairs still rely on him, but you don't listen to ......"
Although Chen Gong knew that it was useless to talk about it, he couldn't help but want to vomit in front of Lu Bu after all.
"What's the use of talking about this now, in the current situation of Xuzhou, it's better to abandon the city and leave, at least it can fill the stomachs of the soldiers and horses, so that my brothers under my command can eat and drink enough, and they can follow me."
"Don't," Chen Gong raised his hand to stop, his face was serious, "Feng Xian must not have this idea, occupying Xuzhou can still be called the hero of the world, but once we leave, we will be like reckless cowards, and the situation will be even more difficult." β
"I have a plan to alleviate this situation for the time being," Chen Gong thought for a long time and made a decision against his ancestors in the midst of difficulties.
"Gongtai, please say," Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but get up and approach.
Chen Gong sighed: "Far friends and close attacks, Fang is the upper way, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao have always had a grudge, and in Yuzhou, Yingchuan, Runan, Huainan, there are still thieves and bandits, and there are many bandits like cattle hairs, and these bandit leaders faintly have the meaning of taking refuge in Yuan Shu." β
"Feng Xian can form an alliance with Yuan Shu, or have the opportunity to send troops to threaten the southeast of Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu can take Guangling and then take the route of the march that threatens Shouzhang."
"Shouzhang this road, Cao Cao has marched here several times, and it is also here to break the Qingxu Yellow Turban Thief, if you can threaten here, you can cut off its grain route."
Lu Bu looked in a trance, but his thoughts were instantly clear, and he nodded: "What the public platform said is good, just act accordingly!" Yuan Highway was defeated by Cao Cao and his reputation was discredited, and he hated him to the core, and he would definitely not let go of this opportunity! β
β¦β¦
Yuan Shu received Lu Bu's request for help, and many of his advisers also said that he had successfully attacked Jiangdong this year, and after Sun Jian's old department, he expanded vigorously, although there was not much grain in the territory, but he could take the fish and shrimp in the river to make food, and he didn't have to worry too much about the people.
Just levy the grain.
Therefore, Yuan Shu's grain and grass are naturally enough, and he hoards a lot, and the people's taxes are very heavy, but they are not crushed, just because the water town and the fish market are more conducive to survival.
After many discussions with his advisers, he decided to send 50,000 stone of grain to LΓΌ Bu, and Chen soldiers were stationed in Yuzhou in the south, where he threatened Cao Cao and made him dare not act rashly.
In this way, it is equivalent to supporting a general who can be called a tiger wolf, and being able to involve Cao Cao's army is equivalent to his Yuan Shu is also using the same means as Yuan Shao.
Nurture an ally.
To put it mildly, it is to raise a wolf to help bite others, and he can sit in the back and watch the tiger fight.
And this time, Cao Cao will not have Yuan Shao behind him to help, even if he can win, it will be a big loss.
Yuan Shu was very sure that Yuan Shao would definitely not help him again, because at this moment and then, Yuan Shao didn't want to see Cao Cao grow stronger now.
Since everyone's purpose is more or less the same, it is better to sit back and watch the situation.
Let them go out and fight.
β¦β¦
In August, Cao Cao's army set out, pointing directly at Xuzhou Xiapi, and this time it was still a famous division, Lu Bu tiger wolf, troubled Xuzhou, and made the people miserable.
However, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses did not arrive, but Lu Bu attacked and killed first, breaking the three passes of Pengcheng in one day, and ordering Cao Ren to hold the main city of Pengcheng and close the door without fighting.
This time, I was caught off guard.
Cao Cao strictly ordered Zhang Han and Xi Zhicai to rush from Xiaopei to Pengcheng, and at the same time the army accelerated its march.
The situation was suddenly intense.
