Chapter 319: What is true is false
Showing the reality with the emptiness, using my reality to attack the other person's emptiness, like breaking a bamboo to crush an egg. ----------"The Classics of Thatched Cottage·Facts and Facts" written by Anonymous
It is said that in the abandoned Qingxian Palace, Chen Liu's soldiers had already swept the court. Chen Gong and Zang Ba were the main players and arrived earlier. They sat on one side of the main seat and chatted about the cooperation that had come to their door.
Chen Gong's hair is slightly gray. Although he is not yet fifty, he behaves like a calm little old man. Zang Baren lives up to his name. Although he is not as tall as Chen Long, his muscles are extremely thick. The two back muscles extend to his thick neck, and his collar emerges like an eel, making people feel his terrifying physical explosive power.
Qingxian Palace is the defense area of Zang Ba's troops. Zang Ba trains troops not far away every day and has not communicated much with Chen Gong. This time Chen Gong left Zhang Liao to guard the city. Zang Ba escorted Chen Gong to this place and finally had the opportunity to communicate with the military advisor.
Zang Ba was wearing a soft sleeveless leather armor, sitting on the Taishi chair with his legs crossed, holding a petite teacup in his huge right hand, and asked loudly: "Commander Chen, why do you think this dragon ball is so prestigious? Please move Zhang Zhen and Hu Zhao, two great sages and hermits."
Zang Ba's words reminded Chen Gong of the day when Zhang Zhen and Hu Zhao entered Chen Liu's official office together and stated that they wanted to meet him. Chen Gong was really shocked for a long time. Either one of these two people would be a famous figure welcomed by the separatist forces from all over the world. Their reputation alone can gather people's hearts and highlight the status of the lord. What's more, if they appear together in Chenliu, if there is a live broadcast, it will definitely spread all over the world.
Chen Gong fell into memories, and the beautiful and intoxicating clear sound of the guqin immediately lingered in his mind. It was something that I specifically begged Zhang Zhen to play for me after agreeing to their request. Before hearing such beautiful music, he had almost no hesitation and agreed to Hu Zhao's request to join forces with the Black Mountain Army to attack Cao Cao.
The relationship between Cao Cao and Chen Gong is very complicated. Chen Gong and Cao Cao were good friends at that time. Chen Gong always believed that Cao Mengde was the only person he could follow. Later, when he and Cao Cao escaped from Chang'an, Cao Cao killed the whole family of his father's sworn brother Lu Boshe and said "Ning Ning" Teach me to betray the people of the world, stop teaching the people of the world to betray me." Chen Gong began to feel that Cao Cao was a narrow-minded traitor, so he abandoned him resolutely, and later turned to Zhang Miao, together with Zhang Chao, Xu Si, and Wang Kai and others joined forces and betrayed Cao Cao in a high-profile manner. Just when Lü Bu led the army out of Hulao Pass, Chen Gong saw that Lü Bu was brave and immediately thought of borrowing Lü Bu's power, so he attracted him and jointly respected Lü Bu as "Yanzhou Shepherd". This was the beginning of the alliance between Lu Bu and Chen Gong. Lu Bu admired Chen Gong's intelligence and trust, and the two gradually became the best civil and military partners.
Chen Gong still vaguely remembered what he said to Zhang Miao when he fled to Chenliu when he rebelled against Cao Cao, "Now that the heroes have risen together, the world is falling apart. You, with a crowd of thousands of miles away, are in the field of four battles. With your sword in hand and your eyes on Xiao, you are enough to be a human being." You are a hero, but you can resist others, don't be disdainful! Today's army is marching eastward, and the place is empty. Lu Bu is a strong man who is good at fighting. Ruoquan welcomes him, and together shepherds Yanzhou and observes the situation in the world. Waiting for the change of current events, this is also It's a matter of time." Because of these words, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao finally agreed to accept Lu Bu.
Later, Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others welcomed Lu Bu as the shepherd of Yanzhou and occupied Puyang with great momentum. Except for Juancheng, Fanxian and Dong'a counties, all counties responded. Cao Cao knew that the Yanzhou base would be lost, so he hurriedly mobilized troops from all over Yanzhou to fight against Lu Bu and Chen Gong. In the end, Zhang Miao died in battle, Lu Bu and Chen Gong defended Chen Liu, and Cao Cao occupied the entire Yanzhou including Puyang and Juancheng. His military was at its peak, with hundreds of generals, and he proclaimed himself the shepherd of Yanzhou. In the so-called peace in the next few years, Lu Bu did not want to make progress. Although Chen Gong was anxious, the army had no fighting spirit and Chen Gong could do nothing.
Ever since he recognized Cao Cao and left Cao Cao, Chen Gong had been looking for an opportunity to raise an army. This time, a white butterfly of unknown origin came and actually persuaded Lu Bu to find a way to attack Xuzhou. Chen Gong was secretly happy and didn't even think about it. I would like to find out who that white butterfly is.
Now two famous men, Zhang Zhen and Hu Zhao, are in front of them. Not only did they come together to give Lu Bu and Chen Gong enough face, they also proposed Zhang Yan and Longzhu's 200,000 Black Mountain Army as the main force. The most important thing is the Black Mountain Army. The target he wanted to attack turned out to be Cao Cao, who was dominating Yanzhou in the Central Plains. Chen Gong almost cried with joy. He really wanted to eat ice and God would rain down hail, so why not! ?
Zang Ba saw that after he had finished asking, Military Advisor Chen actually sat there silently, with only a change of color on his face. He thought that the Military Advisor was suffering from mental illness, so he raised his finger like a wooden stake and waved it in front of Chen Gong. He shook his head and said loudly: "Strategy! Strategist!"
Chen Gong suddenly woke up from his memories and snorted twice: "General Zang, what are you talking about?"
Zang Ba curled his lips, thinking that these literati were just verbose and unfavorable. After repeating his words, Chen Gongcai nodded and said: "General Zang is right. I have never heard of this dragon ball. It is said to be Xu Jing's disciple, I guess. Zhang Yan hired a military adviser from Luoyang with a lot of money. However, it is really amazing that this dragon ball can invite Zhang Zhen and Hu Zhao."
Zang Baxin said nonsense and said: "It turns out that the military advisor has never heard of this dragon ball. I have heard about the combat power of the Black Mountain Army, but they have been hiding in a corner of Bingzhou and are not involved in the battles in the Central Plains. What happened this time? Why are you suddenly so high-profile that you come here to unite to destroy Cao Cao? Moreover, there are 200,000 troops in action. "
Chen Gong nodded and said: "Moreover, the Black Mountain Army captured Mengjin first and captured Yuan Shu's warship. They were not afraid of offending the great warlord Yuan Shu and were so determined to penetrate into the Central Plains that it is chilling. The real reason behind this is really hard to guess. . Fortunately, his target is our enemy Cao Cao. If we can destroy Cao Cao this time, we will be less worried. When the time comes, it will not be too late to see what the Black Mountain Army wants to do."
Zang Ba gave a strange laugh and said: "I'm afraid it will be too late. I don't think this Black Mountain Army is a good bird. Can they really divide Yanzhou equally with us?"
Chen Gong corrected him: "They said that after defeating Cao Cao, they would only use Puyang, Juancheng, and Dong'a Sancheng as bases to covet Yuan Shao of Jizhou. It is said that Zhang Yan also deployed an army of 50,000 in Huguan, waiting for Puyang. After taking it, we will prepare to attack Jizhou on a large scale, taking advantage of the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to capture Jizhou. And we will just use Rencheng as the center to organize our army to advance towards Qingzhou. By then, we will have Qingzhou and Yanzhou in hand, and then we can attack Xuzhou. Fight with the power of the world."
When Zang Ba heard about it, he couldn't help but put down his legs. He secretly admired Chen Gong. This little old man really had a way. At least he could see the longer term than himself. Although fighting a war requires one's own brute force, strategic planning still requires these people to use their brains.
Zang Ba snorted and said: "Don't worry, military advisor, just put me on the flank to ensure that the Black Mountain Army will not take advantage of it." Chen Gong nodded and said: "Your defense zone is very important. It is between Chenliu and Fukou. Be especially careful of the Montenegrin Army's counterattack against Chen Liu." Chen Gong said this just to appease Zang Ba, but in his heart he was thinking that with Zhang Zhen and Hu Zhao's guarantee, how could the Montenegrin Army counterattack? These two people are the most powerful The good Montenegrin Army guarantees that they will cooperate sincerely if they say they will fight Cao Cao together. How can Zang Xuangao, a big boss, understand the heart of a celebrity!
Just when Chen Gong and Zang Ba were worried about each other, suddenly the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded outside Qingxian Palace. Chen Gong and Zang Ba heard this and stood up together to greet the palace gate. When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw several people walking towards them. One of them was a tall man with a slightly swollen face, but he couldn't hide his heroic spirit. It was the dressed-up Chen Long, the current military advisor of the Montenegro Army, Long Zhu.
Chen Long saw Chen Gong and Zang Ba, vaguely guessed their identities, and hurriedly greeted them from a distance: "But Gongtai Military Advisor and General Xuan Gao? I'm here, Longzhu, this is polite." He bowed deeply.
Chen Gong and Zang Ba saw that he was very polite and hurriedly returned the courtesy from a distance. Chen Gong then introduced Zhou Buyi and Taishi Ci who were next to him. They exchanged words with each other, and martial arts with each other. They exchanged greetings several times. Taishi Ci and Zang Ba also tried each other's arm strength by shaking hands, and they were evenly matched. , Zang Ba saw that Taishi Ci's arm strength was similar to his own, and the disdain on his face was reduced a lot.
The guests and hosts were seated on both sides. Chen Long got straight to the point and said that he wanted to win over Tao and Caoxian. Chen Gong nodded slightly and said: "Dingtao has 30,000 defenders, including generals Li Dian and Yue Jin, military advisor Liang Mao, 5,000 Caoxian troops and horses, and generals' chariots and armors. Mr. Long, please tell me how we should divide the work?"
Long Zhu nodded. He knew the information very well, but Chen Liu was not sure about his strength. He asked: "Gongtai, how many troops are there in Marquis Lu Wen? How are they arranged?"
Chen Gong did not hesitate and said: "General Lu leads 50,000 troops and is currently stationed 70 kilometers away from Chenliu, but only a hundred miles away from Dingtao. General Zang Ba leads 20,000 troops and is stationed locally. General Zhang Liao leads 30,000 troops and is stationed in Chenliu." Stay in the city and defend it, and you won’t move lightly.”
Chen Long smiled and said: "In that case, I, Brother Long Zhou, have a good suggestion. You might as well listen to it."
Long Zhou was none other than Zhou Buji. Chen Gong and others looked down on him when they saw that he was young. Zang Ba snorted, "What do you want to hear from this kid?"
Zhou Buyi didn't take it seriously and stood in front of the hall and said: "The Art of War says that what is true is false and what is false is true. We have two groups of soldiers and horses, one is false and the other is true. Cao Cao will definitely be caught off guard."
Chen Gong became interested and said casually: "There is no need to talk about it, let's talk about the specific details."
Zhou Buyi said: "Marquis Lu Wen marched with 50,000 troops to conquer Dingtao. Le Jin and Li Dian will resist with all their strength. General Zang Ba's army is ambushing in Caoxian County to attack the reinforcements of chariots. If the chariots dare to take the risk, they will be killed by General Zang Ba." Defeated. However, this route is just a virtual army, just contain Cao's army."
Zang Ba said: "So, which way do you actually send troops?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
