Chapter 335: Sex makes the mind faint
Speaking of the strangulation in the Central Plains, all the forces are trying to defeat each other, and they are like canines intersecting with each other. The victory or defeat is only a thin line. In the midst of the chaos, news suddenly came from Luoyang that shocked the world. The stupid and ambitious Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongjiu were the first to proclaim themselves emperor.
At this moment, all the families in the Central Plains exploded. Although they were all fighting for their territory, in the end they still called themselves Hanchen. At first, Dong Zhuo abolished the throne without permission and attracted the coalition forces to attack him. Now Yuan Shu went a step further and directly proclaimed himself emperor. How can the Han family tolerate someone with the surname Yuan?
At this moment, another unfavorable news for the destruction of Cao came. Cao Mengde had superb methods and many famous generals under his command. He quickly defeated Beihai and Kong Rong was forced to surrender. He also sent out strange troops, neatly annihilating people from all over the country and unifying the whole country. Qingzhou. Donglaihuang County, where Taishi Ci's mother was located, was also defeated by Cao Hong's troops. Taishi Ci was shocked when he heard the news. He was anxious and unable to capture Xun Yu's city. Feeling that he had nothing to do, he came to Chen Long's rear army to discuss with Long's military advisor.
When Taishi Ci saw Longzhu, he performed the military salute, with a worried look on his face, and he opened his mouth to speak but then stopped. Of course Chen Long understood Taishi Ci's inner anxiety, so he took out a letter and gave it to Taishi Ci to read.
Taishi Ci opened the letter and saw Wen Ruo as the signature. He was surprised and said: "Great Military Advisor, is this a letter from Xun Yu?" Seeing Chen Long nodding, Taishi Ci hurriedly opened it and read it carefully. He saw that the letter read: "Heishan Long Military advisor Rubu: The great Han Dynasty has been strong for more than 400 years since Emperor Gaozu killed the White Snake in the uprising. People say that the great ancestor was good at planning, had a far-sighted vision, worked tirelessly, and knew people well, so that the Han Dynasty could be stable for 400 years. "
When Taishi Ci saw this, his heart froze. He was also a Han minister, and my mother had called him loyal and patriotic since he was a child. He developed martial arts just to serve the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, God's will dictates that the Emperor of Han is unjust and all the heroes come together, so that the country is torn apart and the people hang upside down. Chen Long was beside him and felt sad when he saw Taishi Ci's sad face after receiving a few words from Xun Yu. He sighed: "It is said that Xun Wenruo was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but they believe it today. Wenruo did not help Cao Cao, but mistakenly believed that Cao Mengde could bring order to the chaos and save the Han Dynasty." In one sentence, Taishi Ci, Guo Jia and Zhou Bu were next to him. Suspicions arose in their minds, and everyone was thoughtful.
Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty started in the grass, and grew from a small pavilion chief to the master of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The way to his success was to employ people without doubt, know people well and do their job well, be generous, correct mistakes when they know they are wrong, and follow the good path. Liu Bang was able to defeat the arrogant Xiang Yu and establish the Han Dynasty, which highlighted the popular support of the generals at that time.
After the founding of the Han dynasty, there were two major forces in the political landscape at that time. One was the "Hou Party" headed by Empress Lu, whose main members were relatives surnamed Lu; the other was the "Xiang Party" headed by Xiao He. The main members are the ministers of the DPRK and China. Under Liu Bang's mediation, the two factions were always in a state of balance. No one was stronger than the other, so everyone had to listen to the emperor's words.
However, if the new emperor cannot handle the balance between the two factions and allows one of them to become powerful, then the Han Dynasty will be in danger. Liu Bang's brilliance was that he managed to balance the two factions even after his death.
Liu Bang is considered the most accepting of death among the Chinese emperors. He was injured by an arrow during a suppression of rebellion, and his condition has been getting worse from then on. Empress Lu hired a surgical expert for him. He drove the doctor out and said, "I use a commoner to carry a three-foot sword to conquer the world. Isn't this destiny? My destiny is in heaven. What's the use of being a magpie!" Liu Bang was about to die! , and left two important last words. One is that the country will last forever and benefit the Miao descendants. This means that as long as the Han Dynasty still exists, the descendants of the ministers must always be treated well. Another sentence is that anyone who is not Liu but a king will be attacked by the whole world. If there is no meritorious service and one does not care, the whole world will punish him. It means that if you don't have the surname Liu, you can't be crowned king, and if you don't make great achievements, you can't be crowned marquis.
These two oaths, which are equivalent to wills, fundamentally eliminate the possibility of the two parties usurping power. In the early Han Dynasty, the two parties checked and balanced each other, and whoever became king first would be the target of attack. So this will is quite clever.
Shortly after Liu Bang's death, Empress Lu could not sit still. She was just about to take over the highest power when she suddenly discovered that Liu Bang had made various arrangements for her during his lifetime. Chen Ping and Guan Ying have an army of 100,000 men in Xingyang, and Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo have an army of 200,000 men in Yan Dynasty, ready to support Chang'an at any time. The army controlled by the Lu family could not be faster or stronger than them.
Empress Lu didn't dare to take action after thinking about it, so she could only continue to follow Liu Bang's arrangement, making Cao Shen, Wang Ling and Gao Ping successively the prime ministers, and Zhou Bo the Taiwei. But how could the Lu family be excluded from the enfeoffment of ministers? So Empress Lu went her own way and made more than a dozen of the Lu family's children kings. But Queen Lu ignored that there were no outstanding political figures in the Lu family except herself. Therefore, after the death of Empress Lu, the relationship between the Lu family and Liu family members and ministers deteriorated sharply. King Liu Xiang of Qi was the first to attack, and Gao Ping and Zhou Bo responded immediately in the court, wiping out the entire Lu family in minutes.
Xun Yu opened the chapter with a description of his great ancestor Liu Bang, which could not help but arouse everyone's admiration for this great king. Taishi Ci couldn't help but close the letter and guessed: "Is this letter from Xun Yu asking for an alliance to destroy Yuan Shu?"
Chen Long smiled and nodded, and said: "Ziyi, Wen Ruonai is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. This letter is very sad. Why don't you read it? It's just that Xun Yu said in the letter that Cao Cao has captured Qingzhou. Do you believe it?" "
Taishi Ci's reading of Xun Wenruo's letter will not be shown for the time being, but it will be shown that Lu Bu attacked Dingtao, but Yue Jin and Li Dian held the city and could not capture it for a long time. Lu Bu simply laid siege to the city without fighting, and spent every day with the white butterflies as close to each other as if they were traveling, living a happy life. Chen Gong and others were even more disappointed, but there was no fierce battle to fight for the time being, and there was no way to persuade Lu Bu. Relying on Lu Bu's favor, the white butterfly bossed the generals around, yelling and scolding them at will, but only respected Chen Gong and did not dare to make any mistakes.
On this day, the news came that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor. Chen Gong was shocked and rushed to Lu Bu's military tent to report. Lu Bu was also surprised at first, and Chen Gong said: "The army went south to no avail. It couldn't even capture a small Dingtao. Besieging the city without fighting is a waste of money and food."
"I recently heard that Cao Mengde has captured Qingzhou, but I don't know whether it is true or not. I would rather believe it. The morale of Cao's army is strong. It seems that it will not be so easy to destroy Cao. For the current plan, we must either advance deeply or retreat. I heard that Taishi Ci's army was also defeated by Xun Wenruo Blocked in Dong'e County, it is difficult to advance. Longzhu lost Mengjin, but then attacked Puyang. It is difficult to say whether they will retreat in the name of dealing with Yuan Shu."
"If they retreat, our army will be alone and at a disadvantage. Now we have options. One is to retreat to Chenliu to reorganize the army, and then discuss with Longzhu to join forces to divide Yuan Shu's territory. If it is too late, the Central Plains may be destroyed. All the heroes will send troops to snatch Yuan Shu's piece of fat. The second is to simply abandon Dingtao, continue southward, and surprise Tao Qian in Xuzhou. Xuzhou is a fertile land with thousands of miles of fertile fields and a land of plenty, enough to raise troops to fight the heroes. What do you think, my lord?"
Where did Lu Bu have any ideas? Just when he was about to speak, he remembered the white butterfly beside him and asked, "My dear wife is very resourceful, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Gong frowned in response to this question.
Bai Butterfly has just heard the report from Hattori Ghost, saying that Longzhu's martial arts are unfathomable, and he is very afraid of Longzhu. In addition, Longzhu seemed to treat her with sincerity, shaking his head and saying: "What Gongtai said is reasonable, but why bother to seek far away from the near. I think the geography of Puyang is very important. If we pretend to withdraw Chenliu, but actually cross the river to attack Puyang, we can get there in two days." . If you have Puyang and are connected with Chenliu, you can go north to attack Jizhou, or simply go to Bingzhou, which is better than attacking the distant Xuzhou. By then, Chen Long will only have Juancheng, which is still sandwiched between Chenliu and Yanzhou. Time, when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will starve to death."
When Chen Gong heard this, he stamped his feet and said in shock: "Absolutely not! Longzhu is our ally, and the oath is still in his ears, how can we sneak attack on our ally! If word spreads, he will be ridiculed by the heroes of the world. Once it fails, no matter how big the world is, there will be no one left behind." There is enough space!”
Lu Bu looked at the white butterfly as delicate as a flower, stretched out his hand and said cheerfully: "Gongtai, you don't have to say anything. I think what the butterfly said is right. Chen Liu has Zhang Liao, which is my foundation. If we can occupy Puyang again, Jizhou will be just around the corner. Just follow. As Butterfly said, we should immediately assemble the army and retreat. Don't mention the matter of Xuzhou again." After saying that, he waved his sleeves, pulled Butterfly out of the tent, mounted his horse, and went away to who knows where.
Chen Gong gritted his teeth, but had no choice but to leave the military tent and murmured: "The color makes the mind faint! The color makes the mind faint!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
