Chapter 301 Li Daitao is stiff
The peach is on the well, and the plum tree is beside the peach. Insects come to eat the peach roots, and the plum tree replaces the peach. Trees have replaced each other, brothers have forgotten each other! ----------Guo Maoqian of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Yuefu Poems Collection Cockcrow"
Speaking of Chen Long and Zhou Busuo's plan, the only available troops in the northern Central Plains were Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army. After Chen Long and Guan Yu arrived at Shangdang, after careful planning, the Black Mountain Army sent out troops in two groups, one group pretending to attack Huguan, and the other group's main force went directly to the Mengjin Ferry of the Yellow River.
At this time, Lu Chang had already arrived at Shangdang to meet up and told Liu Bei that he was a blessing in disguise. Chen Long was very sensitive. Hearing that Liu He died unexpectedly and Liu Bei was responsible for the rescue, he already suspected that Liu Bei was responsible. At least the death of Liu He forced the upright and selfless Liu Yu to choose Liu Bei, a member of the Han clan and a very capable person, as the person in charge of military affairs. Liu Bei was the biggest beneficiary of Western Liaoning.
Zhou Buyi stayed in Jizhou, and there was no one around Chen Long to discuss the solution. Chen Long thought about it for himself, and he always felt that if Liu Bei was allowed to go, he would definitely become a tiger and become the biggest obstacle on the road to unification. Moreover, the two powerful generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would never truly surrender to him. How did Cao Cao treat Guan Yu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? It couldn't be better, but Guan Yu's reward was to pass five levels, kill six generals, and insist on finding his eldest brother to join Yuan Shao. This is a lesson learned from the past of foolish loyalty and must be guarded against.
When Chen Long saw a special operations team member with a similar build to himself next to Lu Chang, he couldn't help but think of a plan. When talking to Lu Chang, Lu Chang shook his head and said: "No, my lord! Liu Bei has Wu Anguo by his side, as well as Wuhuan and Xianbei masters to protect him, so why go into danger alone? It's better to meet Zhenzhang on the battlefield in the future."
It turned out that Chen Long wanted to let the special forces member who was similar to himself pretend to be himself for the time being. As long as Guan Yu was sent to another unit, farther away from Guan Yu, and the rest were his own people, he would definitely be able to hide it from Guan Yu. Chen Long said: "In the current war, there is no other way. Liu Bei has become famous too fast. I am afraid that the news will reach the ears of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei soon."
Lu Chang couldn't refute this, Chen Long continued: "Among the martial arts here, I am the only one with the strength to assassinate Liu Bei. Moreover, the blame for Liu Bei's death this time can be easily passed on to Gongsun Du of Liaodong. He is We raised our troops to attack Western Liaoning, but Liu Bei suddenly died. I guarantee that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to escape."
Lu Chang moved a little and said hurriedly: "My lord, even if you want to go, you have to let me follow you. Ever since Luoyang rescued Ma Yuanyi, I have been advancing and retreating together with my lord."
Chen Long shook his head and said: "This time, you have a more important task, and it must be you. I won't worry about anyone else going there." Lu Chang said "oh" and looked excited when he heard that it was an important task.
Chen Long ordered: "Take a few people, hide, and find a way to cross the Yellow River to Chang'an. Let Huang Gai send troops to Tongguan. Then send people to inform Wancheng and Zhao Yun to send troops together to threaten Luoyang on three sides. Cooperate with me to capture Mengjin, and let Yuan Shu did not dare to leave the city of Luoyang, so I turned my back on him. After capturing Mengjin, if I are still in western Liaoning and have not returned, I will let Huang Gai take charge of the overall situation and Guo Jia as the chief military advisor. Together, we will help Zhang Yan's troops advance to Puyang by water. Yuan Shu It is estimated that we can only stay in the isolated city of Luoyang, ignore him, just fortify the walls and clear the fields, and lay an ambush so that Yuan Shu does not dare to leave the city."
Lu Chang heard that Chen Long had a plan and knew the importance of military strategy. Why had he never thought that the three sides of Luoyang were actually surrounded by the tiger generals of our Qinglong Army?
At that moment, Lu Chang picked a few of his men, said goodbye to his lord, and hurriedly went to find Guo Jia and Huang Gai Bu Meng in Chang'an. Chen Long kept the special operations team member who was similar to his own figure, secretly fucked him for a few days, and put makeup on him to look like Long Zhu. After a few days, he looked exactly the same. As long as he didn't confront Guan Yu, he could do it. Can't keep it from him.
All is ready except for the opportunity. Chen Long thought of Wang Yun's Seven Star Sword, but he didn't bring the Qinglong Dagger, lacking a weapon that could kill with one strike. If Liu Bei desperately resisted with a double sword, he only had a serrated dagger, which would probably be very long from head to tail. But Chen Long couldn't find a sharp weapon in his hurry. He thought that his martial arts skills were similar to those of Lu Bu and Ma Chao, so he should be better than Liu Bei, so he had to make do with the crossbow with a serrated dagger, but he still had the confidence to kill Liu Bei.
Zhang Yan learned about Chen Long's decision and was very worried about him. Chen Long comforted Zhang Yan for a long time and asked Zhang Yan to leave the strategic matters to Guo Jia before he escaped. In the middle of a dark and windy night, Chen Long prepared all his belongings and set off alone, sleeping in the open air, heading straight to the base camp of Hongshan County in western Liaoning.
This time Chen Long shoulders the important task of eliminating Liu Bei, not only to prevent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from dying in the future, but most importantly, to eliminate the princes with the most potential to establish a country by various means. Chen Long might have softened his heart when faced with the heroes and tycoons of the Three Kingdoms period, but reason told him that only by eliminating careerists and speculators at all costs could the real welfare of the people of the Han Dynasty be achieved. Since I have been involved in the world's disputes, I firmly believe in my political correctness and my idea of benefiting the people. No matter who it is, whoever opposes me will definitely be going against the current. Only those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Chen Long's understanding of Liu Bei is also getting deeper and deeper, but Chen Long is still not very clear about Liu Bei's true martial arts. Liu Bei's martial arts skills seemed very humble under the brilliance of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei; but Chen Long knew in his heart that it was just an illusion. If Wang Yue is the founder of swordsmanship and Ma Chao is the champion of swordsmanship, then Liu Bei is the King of the North in swordsmanship.
Chen Long initially drafted two assassination plans, one was a hidden arrow and the other was a night attack. Both of them need to know Liu Bei's daily routine and movements, but investigation is Chen Long's specialty, and it is not difficult to find out Liu Bei's routine. Liu Bei never dreamed that Chen Long was secretly watching him. Chen Long had many unexpected opportunities. This was Chen Long's greatest asset.
To put it briefly, when Zhang Yan's troops gathered on the north bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Shu in Luoyang received a report that Wang Yue and Huang Gai had joined forces to attack Luoyang with all their strength, and the troops had already stationed in Tongguan.
Yuan Shu was so surprised that he quickly mobilized troops to garrison the outskirts of Luoyang and set up defenses facing Tongguan. Just after the arrangements were made, suddenly the intelligence report came again. The Black Mountain Army on the north bank of the Yellow River suddenly moved, killing all the way to Tongguan, and the other way turned out to be along the Yellow River. Yuan Shu was shocked and confused after hearing the report. After all, there was a natural danger in the Yellow River, and the Black Mountain Army seemed to be pointing at Jizhou, which was in chaos. The counselors also analyzed that the Black Mountain Army wanted to stir up trouble in Jizhou and take advantage. After hearing this, Yuan Shu turned against the North. Not too worried.
Just when Yuan Shu made up his mind to fight against the Chang'an coalition forces with all his strength, the news that followed shocked him. Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, who had always been very low-key, suddenly sent troops to Xu County. Yuan Shu's home base is in the Shouchun and Runan areas. Xu County is an important hub, connecting the economy, trade and materials of Luoyang and Shouchun and other places. If it is occupied by Zhang Xiu, Luoyang will be cut off.
Xu County is where Yuan Shu must rescue him. Yuan Shu has no choice but to divide his troops to defend Xu County. After the troops set off, Zhang Xiu suddenly set up camp outside Xu County. He was not in a hurry to attack. At the same time, even more shocking news came. Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong personally Leading an army of 100,000 people, with Jia Xu as the military advisor, they rushed directly to Luoyang. The troops reached the southern suburbs of Luoyang by daylight.
Yuan Shao was so worried that he quickly ordered surrounding troops to enter the city and defend with all their strength. Even the garrison guarding Mengjin was mobilized to defend the city. Luoyang was a fortified city with abundant food and grass. Now it was fully contracted to defend, and it suddenly showed an extraordinary momentum of impregnability. Yuan Shu inspected the city defenses and saw that the morale was high, so he finally put aside half of his worries.
Yuan Shu naturally also mobilized grain and troops from places such as Runan and Shouchun. In Yuan Shu's heart, Luoyang had symbolic significance and was a heroic city that could not be abandoned. And if he wins this battle, he will prove that he is superior in strength and is definitely God's favorite. His plan to become emperor in Luoyang will be implemented smoothly.
Yuan Shu made plans and dreamed of becoming emperor. He used the name of the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family. After many years of management, he already had 400,000 soldiers capable of fighting. He defeated Wang Yue, Lu Bu, Cao Cao and others several times. The people's coalition can be said to be the overlord of the Central Plains. Yuan Shu would never believe that the moment he proclaimed himself emperor was the moment before complete destruction.
Yuan Shu still attaches great importance to Chen Long's Qinglong Army. After all, Chen Long's name is too famous, he expands very fast, he has a large number of famous generals, and he also has ingenious policies to recruit refugees, which has earned him a good reputation. But Yuan Shu never imagined that even Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army was part of Chen Long's strategy. Yuan Shu did not know that Zhang Yan had a younger sister Feiyan, who had long been taken into his private house by Chen Long.
The situation in Luoyang was unprecedentedly tense, but Chen Long flew across the mountains and valleys and went deep into Hongshan County for the cause of reunification. It was rare for Chen Long to have so much time alone. This time he had close and private contact with nature. Chen Long only felt that his group breathing technique was once again working wonders. On the top of the mountain and under the water, he continued to cultivate the foundation of his body and refine his spirit. Purify one's internal strength in the void, making the originally pure internal strength more refined, transforming one's body like changing muscles and cleansing marrow, allowing one to master the mysterious power from nature. And every time I observe the actions of birds and animals, my Qinggong and martial arts will also benefit.
Hongshan is located at the junction of the three provinces of Mongolia, Hebei and Liaoning in later generations. It is the most important hub and throat city between eastern Inner Mongolia, western Liaoning and northern Hebei. The location is somewhat northerly, so winters are long and springs are dry.
Hongshan is one of the birthplaces of Chinese culture, and there is the so-called Chinese Hongshan Culture within its territory. In Chinese history, before the Western Liaoning Corridor was developed, Hongshan was the only passage from the Central Plains to the Northeast. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the only way for business travelers from within the Pass to enter and leave the Mongolian Plateau and Songliao Plain. The area north of Yanshan An important trading town, it has been known as "Golden Chaoyang, Silver Red Mountain, Undefeated Hada, and Unfilled Bagou" since ancient times.
Liu Bei was in Hongshan. He had just spread his wings and finally found the feeling of high power. However, Liu Bei has always felt that he lacks resourcefulness. Although he has thought twice about things, he never dares to make a plan, and sometimes misses good opportunities. In Liu Bei's heart, he missed Long Zhou beside Long Zhu. If he had his help, wouldn't it be easy to take Liaodong?
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
