"Bang!" Liu Hong slammed a pearl in his hand on the main hall and said angrily: "Does it mean that I, a great man, have no one? General Dong Chong of Chariots and Cavalry? You can lead the army to suppress the rebellion!"
A somewhat bloated man wearing a red military uniform quickly knelt on the ground and said in panic: "Your Majesty! Don't move lightly at this time, think about it in the long run!" The army of the Goryeo Civilization District swept across Youzhou. At this time, the big man had no energy to mobilize troops. Who could Everyone knows that being sent to Youzhou now is to die, and if the war goes against him, he will bear the blame of all the people in the world. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, including Liu Hong, will use him to sacrifice the flag!
Liu Hong saw that all the ministers in the court were bowing their heads, but none of them could come out to relieve his worries. He roared: "A bunch of trash!" After saying this, he fainted because of his anger. Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo and other eunuchs quickly helped him into the inner palace.
Liu Hong was helped into the inner palace by Shi Changshi, and the ministers began to express their opinions. He Jin looked at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao behind him and said, "Benchu, Mengde, what do you two think?"
Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said: "Cavalry is good at attacking in the wilderness. The general can immediately send Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, to build a defense line based on the mountains of the north, and use towns as nodes to snipe at every level! When spring comes next year, my big man can gather his strength Fight with him!" After Yuan Shao said his strategy, the civil and military officials in the court immediately applauded, and everyone praised Yuan Benchu's strategy. However, everyone selectively avoided sending troops, and according to Yuan Shao's strategy, in order to avoid the attack of the Goryeo Tartars. , which means giving up Youzhou and tens of millions of people.
He Jin nodded repeatedly and said: "This plan is very clever at first, I should advise your majesty!"
Cao Cao hesitated for a long time and said: "General! The most important thing in the battle between the two armies is morale. On the battlefield, morale is like a snowball. The side with strong morale will become braver as the war progresses. Nowadays, although the people in the land of Youji are strong and sturdy, there are no good generals, and Uncle Liu Huang Both the Han governor and the governor of Han are good ministers for the people, not the army. Although the White Horse General Gongsun Zan is a good general in the world, he has always been at odds with Uncle Liu. Even now when the war is approaching, the two are still in conflict and cannot cooperate sincerely. , and the Gongsun family has lived in Liaodong for generations, General Gongsun must put the family business first, and Baima Yicong did not fight with all his strength when fighting! In this way, once the Youzhou battlefield collapses, the Goryeo army will surely advance with great momentum, let alone wait until the next year. , I am afraid that the entire territory of Youzhou will fall within two or three months, and even Jizhou is in danger! If the border pass of Jizhou is lost, China will no longer have any danger to defend, and the enemy can march straight in! Therefore, I suggest that the imperial court must send troops and resources The soldiers who were accustomed to fighting turned the tide, stabilized the situation, boosted the morale of the Youji people and all forces, and slowed down the advance of the Goryeo Tartars. Firstly, they bought time for Jizhou's defense line to be deployed, and secondly, they slowed down the advance of the Goryeo Tartars. , Only in this way can we lay a solid foundation for the counterattack in the coming year!"
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the civil and military officials in the court fell into silence again. Youzhou officials nodded repeatedly and said: "My lords, what General Cao said is at the crux of the situation in Youji, and Lord Liu Yu means the same!"
"I've heard for a long time that Meng De is good at fighting. Since Meng De came up with this plan, let's send Meng De to the border to take charge of the situation!" A long voice came, and Yuan Shu walked out of the queue with a smile and clasped his fists. .
Cao Cao's face changed slightly. To be honest, he really didn't have the courage to take on such a heavy burden. If he wanted to boost his morale, it would be best to win a battle and then fight against Goryeo and Tatar in the vast land of Youzhou. Only by fighting sparrow wars and harassing wars can the offensive of the Goryeo army be contained. But now Cao Cao has no strategy to defeat the enemy. Moreover, facing millions of elite cavalry in the wilderness, it is simply unimaginable!
"As for whether to send troops, we will discuss it later, but Meng De is young and energetic, and it is difficult for him to take this position!" The general directly rejected Yuan Shu's proposal, nonsense! In this battle of near death, Cao Cao was his arm. If he lost it, the gain would not be worth the loss. Moreover, if the battle failed, those officials would definitely put a shit basin on his head. Naturally, He Jin did not want to let Cao Cao go on the expedition. When Cao Cao heard this, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had already scolded Yuan Shu's ancestors for eight generations in his heart.
…
In Yanzhou Prefecture, under the mediation of the Holy Shield Society and the Beitang Family, Liu Bei brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other members to Yanzhou. During this period, Liu Bei was extremely frustrated in Qingzhou. Qingzhou was the hardest hit area by the Yellow Turban Bandits. , was the main battlefield for the capture of the Yellow Turban bandits. The young and middle-aged people in Qingzhou either joined the Yellow Turban bandits or fled to Yanzhou, Jizhou and Xuzhou. The county under his rule had ten houses and nine empty houses, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou had not been completely eliminated at this time. The Yaohuangjin bandits have made a comeback, and the territory controlled by Liu Bei is close to the territory of the Taishan bandit Zang Ba, so there is no way to develop. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Dai is of the same clan as Liu Bei. If he helps him quell the chaos, Liu Bei hopes that Liu Dai will keep him in the prosperous Yanzhou so that he can have a foothold in these troubled times. Therefore, Liu Dai Invited, Liu Bei came happily with the help of the Beitang family and the Holy Shield Society.
With the help of the Yanzhou army and horses commanded by Liu Guan and Zhang, as well as the assistance of a large number of elite evolvers from the Holy Shield Society and the Beitang family, they finally withstood the attack of the Baibo bandits, repelled the attack of the Baibo bandits led by Yang Feng and Xu Huang, and saved Yanzhou Mansion. .
However, at this time, Liu Dai began to feel restless. Seeing this, the staff around him said: "Sir, why are you worried? The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang fought bravely. The Baibo bandits have been repelled and have withdrawn from Shanyang County! At this time, you should So happy!"
Liu Dai clenched his fist and said, "You know nothing! This Liu Bei is a hypocrite. He uses the sign of being a clan member of the Han Dynasty to deceive others. During this period, although he actively participated in the war, he made friends with the Yanzhou nobles everywhere and pretended to appease them. The common people in Yanzhou now only know that the Liu clan has Liu Bei, but they don’t know about me, Liu Dai!" Liu Dai, a typical Wu Dalang with a mentality like this, opened a shop, full of conspiracies, and relied on Liu Bei to repel the Baibo bandits, but now he is a bit of a scapegoat. The meaning of donkey.
However, Liu Bei is good at communication. In the past month, during the battle, Liu Bei was friendly with everyone from state officials and nobles to military generals and common people, and he gained a high reputation. Officials and nobles said that In the style of Emperor Gaozu, many people and soldiers mistakenly thought that Liu Dai was the governor of Yanzhou because they had never seen him. Liu Dai and Liu Bei inspected the military camp, and the soldiers knelt down to Liu Bei, which made Liu Dai feel in danger.
"What do you think, Sir, Liu Bei is better than Qin Ge?" the chief clerk suddenly asked.
Liu Dai sat back and fell into deep thought. A gleam of light flashed in the chief secretary's eyes. During this period, Liu Dai only favored Mr. Mei and left him out in the cold. Therefore, the chief secretary had long held a grudge, and Mr. Mei and Liu Bei At this time, Liu Dai did not summon Mr. Mei to discuss matters, indicating that he already had a grudge, so the chief clerk took the opportunity to add insult to injury and said: "Although Qin Ge is like a tiger, charging at the lord several times, he has also offended the entire Yanzhou noble clan. Although he is hateful , but he is a reckless man and cannot be used for much, but Liu Bei is different. He has the blood of the Han Dynasty, and he is virtuous and can make friends with the nobles. His benevolence can benefit the people. Nowadays, scholars say that Liu Bei has the style of the great ancestor, and he is the Han Dynasty. He is the future pillar of the family, and the people all call Liu Bei a saint, and many nobles are even ready to recommend Liu Bei to the imperial court to serve as an official in Yanzhou! I secretly thought that my prestige among the nobles and the people was much worse than that of Liu Bei!"
Liu Dai stood up angrily and slapped the head clerk in the face and shouted: "You said I am not as good as that country man who weaves mats and sells shoes!"
The chief clerk knelt down quickly and said, "My lord, your loyal words are so offensive! Liu Xuande has had nothing to do in the army in recent days. He has been hanging out at the banquets of major aristocratic families all day long. Everyone knows about this, and now the people are praising Yanzhou Governor Kuande for his love, bravery and good fighting skills." , is the savior of Yanzhou, and there are folk songs in the streets and alleys saying, 'New governor, benevolent and virtuous, great ancestor and grandson, peace in the world!' These are not praising you, but Liu Bei!" The chief secretary kowtowed repeatedly, his eyes twinkling. Said: "Furthermore, according to the information obtained, Master Mei's Holy Shield Society followed Liu Bei when he made his fortune in Youzhou. They only began to take root in Yanzhou after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Sir, if you think about it carefully, Master Mei keeps inciting you and Regarding Qin Ge's relationship, many times you and Qin Ge had conflicts and were humiliated. It was Master Mei who instigated trouble, angered Qin Ge and caused Yanzhou to fall into chaos, and then naturally led Liu Bei to quell the rebellion. Qin Ge was just a rich man from the countryside. Compared with you, who is of royal blood, you will always be a piece of shit, but Liu Bei is different, he is also a member of the Han clan! He has already threatened your status!"
Liu Dai broke out in a cold sweat. Although he was narrow-minded and envious of talents, he was also a prince and had the political wisdom to be a master. He sat on his seat with some exhaustion and gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it! This stranger has evil intentions. I was almost killed." He was cheated! What should we do now?"
A bright light flashed in the eyes of the chief registrar and he said: "Now that the war has stabilized, we have initially reached an agreement with the Baibo bandits. At this time, your Excellency can send Liu Bei back to Qingzhou, and in the name of the Yanzhou bandits, please report to the imperial court, please report Qin Ge. Taishan County Sheriff asked him to return to Taishan with the imperial decree to destroy the Baibo bandits and Taishan bandits. Then he would not be afraid that Qin Ge would not be able to contribute. After Qin Ge finished destroying the Taishan bandits and Baibo bandits, his little family fortune would also be If you are defeated, this is a plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
Liu Dai put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "Okay! This is a great plan! You quickly prepare the wine and meat, and I will carry out it for Liu Bei!" Liu Dai's shamelessness shocked the past and the present, and he was like a real villain who crossed the river and demolished the bridge!
At the camp of the three armies in Yanzhou, Liu Bei was drunk and was taken to the entrance of the camp in a gorgeous carriage. After Guan Yu finished patrolling the camp, he stood waiting at the camp gate. Liu Bei was helped out of the carriage by a handsome-looking man with a beard. This man was a famous man from Youzhou. Jian Yong!
Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei was staggering a little, and hurriedly went over to help him. Liu Bei took Guan Yu's sleeve and smiled drunkenly: "Yun Chang, you haven't seen the whole house today. They are all famous scholars and young men from aristocratic families, and I, Liu Bei, am sitting in the main hall!" He is the model that a clan member of the Han Dynasty should have. Liu Dai has whatever virtues and abilities he has, but he was born better than me..."
Jian Yong saw Liu Bei starting to talk nonsense drunkenly, so he quickly covered Liu Bei's mouth and whispered: "Master, be careful! Yanzhou is Liu Dai's territory, and although Liu Dai is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he has a big heart." He is narrow-minded and envious of talents. Qin Ge was framed and trapped in Luoyang because of his outstanding talent. Sir, I have been advising you to keep a low profile these days. If you keep a high profile and interact with the nobles and common people, I am afraid that Liu Dai will be jealous!"
Liu Bei said disdainfully: "Qin Ge! He is just a wild man, how can he be compared with my Han clan clan members! Liu Dai! If he is jealous, let him be jealous. Without me, Liu Bei, he would have been quartered by white bandits!"
Jian Yong sighed secretly, Guan Yu supported Liu Bei and said: "Brother! You drank too much!"
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu sideways and said, "Yun Chang, you've been teasing Yide behind your back these past few days. Do you have any little intentions?"
Guan Yu frowned, opened his eyes, and said with a blush on his face: "Brother, you have misunderstood. Goryeo Hulu invaded Youzhou in large numbers. Yide heard the news and wanted to return to Youzhou!"
Liu Bei tilted his head and said: "In the bitter cold land of Youzhou, how can it be as prosperous as Yanzhou? Yide really has no foresight! This place is the foundation of prosperity! Don't worry about him! Let him think about it for a few more days and he will understand!"
Guan Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Youzhou is Yide's hometown after all, and I don't understand Yide's temper! In the past few days, he has been drinking wine and whipping the soldiers when he was drunk. Brother, you'd better check it out!"
Liu Bei's drunken eyes were blurred, and he nodded and said: "I'm going to see my third brother!"
