Lin Ze and Huang Zhong observed the city defense and land of Beihai on horseback, and said: "Actually, the terrain of Beihai Kingdom is unique. If Yuan Shao wants to come here to intervene, he must travel thousands of miles to capture Gaotang, passing through Taishan County. If Cao Cao wants to come from Chenliu , we have to pass through Runan, and I will get the news as soon as possible. General Huang has stabilized Beihai and wants to build a military base in Gaoyuan. Then he will mainly focus on Dongwu County and Langya County to continuously put pressure on Xuzhou."
Huang Zhong said: "The final general will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations."
"Hey, it's just the two of us. There's no need to talk about the situation. If you have any difficulties, you can raise them."
Huang Zhong said: "There is no difficulty. You have left all 50,000 logistics troops behind. With such magical weapons as ballistae to defend the city, nothing will happen."
"General, this mentality is not good. A wise man will always make mistakes. If he thinks that nothing will happen to him, in fact, something has already happened." Lin Ze patted Huang Zhong's arm and said, "The commander of the logistics force is named Xu. Liang is Ziwu's cousin. He is an honest man. If you have any requests, you can ask him. When the situation is extremely critical, you can also go to him. I have told you that there is a good strategy to turn defeat into victory! Don't go all out. Your whole family is waiting eagerly for your return in Shouchun!"
Huang Zhong was moved when he heard Lin Ze's painstaking efforts and said: "General, please kowtow to the lord!"
"Oh, don't be like this. From now on, our army must gradually abandon this habit of kowtow and kneeling. Isn't it good for the monarch and his ministers to sit down and discuss matters? General Huang, your pressure is only temporary. When I take Xuzhou, your pressure will be easily relieved. !”
Lin Ze said: "Taishici is the latest to surrender, and his ability is on par with yours. I don't feel comfortable placing him next to you. I will take care of him for a few days."
Lin Ze was like a big patriarch. He gave Huang Zhong a lot of instructions, which made him feel a little annoyed.
Lin Ze returned to Guo Jia. Guo Jia pulled Lin Ze and said hurriedly: "My lord, there is news from Yangzhou. Chen Wen died of illness. Liu Yao (yao) was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou. This is a figure. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, A minister of the clan, one of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty, after Qi mourned King Hui Liu Fei, and the nephew of Taiwei Liu Chong, he was a powerful figure."
Lin Ze has always been curious. Why can the emperor continue to issue edicts and appoint officials when he is always on the move?
Now he understands that it is not the emperor who runs the entire court, but the court. Up to now, the huge empire is still running on the court. Why does the world say that Cao Cao held the emperor hostage to order the princes, but not Dong Zhuo? Because the emperor came to Cao Cao It is Cao Cao who has the final say in appointing officials.
Lin Ze said in a deep voice: "When the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold. The situation here is still unclear. I don't want to spend too many troops fighting in Yangzhou. I didn't say anything, but bring Liu Yao to me on his way to take office!"
Guo Jia said carefully: "Assassination?"
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Ze smiled and said, "Liu Yao has always been known for his gorgeous and strict style. He likes to praise and criticize people, and he has never had any intention of rebellion. The crime will not lead to death. I want to talk to him. I want to I am stationed in Yangzhou, and I have the final say on the people's livelihood policy in Yangzhou. He can help manage it, because in this troubled time, a person like him cannot stand Yangzhou. I heard that Sun Ce also ended up observing filial piety for his father. Sun Ce will definitely Integrate Jiangdong and help him do it, Liu Yao is no match for Sun Ce."
Guo Jiadao: "Liu Yao is a descendant of the royal family and he is very angry. This matter can only be carried out in secret. Lord, now I have a damaging move."
Capturing the governor of a state is a big deal, and no one should know about it. Guo Jia's intention is to arrange for bandits to rob him first to temper his mentality, and then find a way to rescue him, deceive his favor, and use a good strategy to attack his heart.
After hearing this, Lin Ze smiled and said, "Fengxiao, you are really angry with me."
"To be sure, my lord cannot return to Shouchun yet. This is what I think. Liu Guanzhang went to Xuzhou to help in the war. We can neither be enemies with Liu Guanzhang nor Cao Cao. How about going to Hebei?"
Lin Ze said: "Why are we going to Hebei?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord is so magnanimous. You have forgotten that in addition to Yuan Shu, the person who intercepted and killed you in Luoyang was also Yuan Shao. You cannot be unfair to one in revenge. Moreover, in order to ensure that Beihai is safe, we need to talk to Yuan Shao." Well, we can’t covet the land of Beihai. The world will understand!”
Lin Ze said cheerfully: "Thank you for your hard work, just go there and I will compile a book and give it to Cao Cao!"
At this moment, Liu Guan and Zhang had gone to Xuzhou. Liu Bei was truly benevolent and righteous, he would be a gentleman before fighting. He wrote a letter to Cao Cao, urging Cao Cao to retreat. Cao Cao was originally angry. Damn it, I want to avenge my father. So many things have come. The person who makes things happen.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao received a letter from Lin Ze. Lin Ze's letter felt quite comfortable to Cao Cao. After all, Lin Ze controlled Beihai, and Xuzhou no longer had Kong Rong's help. Liu Guan and Zhang came to help Tao Qian. They were very interested in Lin Ze. Lin Ze would definitely not take action if he had the grace to save his life, but would he go to the north to fight Yuan Shao?
Yuan Shao has developed quite a lot now. He held the letter and said: "Brother Lin Ze has a strong head. Now he has 8,000 Yicon troops and 10,000 Wolf Fang regiments around him. If he has 18,000, he dares to challenge Yuan Shao. Really overbearing."
Xun Yu was beside Cao Cao and said, "My lord, with just these eight thousand loyal followers and ten thousand wolf fangs, we can sweep across the world."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do they compare to my Qingzhou soldiers?"
Xun Yu had something to say and said: "It is his opponent."
Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "Lin Ze, it's time to swindle, the prince-in-law is interesting, very interesting. Order the whole army to prepare to capture Xuzhou."
At this moment, Liu Xingma suddenly sent a message to Cao Cao, saying: "My lord, Zhang Miao led his troops to attack Yanzhou and has arrived in Puyang. Now there are only Juan (juan) city, Dong'a, and Fan County. Under Cheng Yu's plan and Cao Ren held it with his efforts."
Cao Cao was furious when he heard this and said: "I will chop Zhang Miao into pieces! Order the whole army to come back for reinforcements. Damn it, if Yanzhou is lost, my brothers will lose their families!"
Xun Yu said: "My lord, it's time to give the letter to Liu Bei and buy him some face."
On the way to Hebei, Lin Ze had already conveyed news to Xu Mao, paying attention to Liu Yao's movements, pretending to be a bandit and capturing him, then regaining his identity and rescuing him.
Xu Mao had a sharp mind and knew what his lord meant, so he avoided Liu Jin'er to do this. Xu Mao knew that Liu Yao was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and there were things a man should never let a woman know about in his life.
Lin Ze escaped from the trouble in Xuzhou in time, took 18,000 troops, and set off from Beihai in the direction of Mount Tai. It seemed that he was going to pass through Mount Tai and enter Hebei through Gaotang.
This was the marching route that was told to the world. It was impossible for Lin Ze to travel thousands of miles to find Yuan Shao. After Xu Mao's affairs were finished and Liu Yao was sent back to Yangzhou, Lin Ze had to go back to negotiate with Liu Yao.
Walking around like this is actually just a smoke bomb.
Now Lin Ze was thinking about Sun Ce. Because he was one of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, Lin Ze had a better understanding of Sun Ce's development history.
At this point in time, Sun Ce should have defected to Yuan Shu, with the purpose of returning to Sun Jian's old army with Yuan Shu and going to Jiangdong to cause trouble.
But since he had no one to take in Sun Jian, Sun Ce would not come to him. The person he wanted to attack now should be Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang. He would destroy Liu Yao next year and eye the entire Yangzhou.
He couldn't let him do this. Firstly, it would threaten his own interests. Secondly, he really didn't like Sun Quan's regime after Sun Ce.
The journey was too long and the carriage and horses were too slow, which made time seem to pass very quickly. Before we knew it, it was spring again.
At the foot of Mount Tai, Lin Ze looked at the top of Huidang Peak and the small Mount Tai, and sighed. Unknowingly, he had been here for five years in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Many places are different from what I saw in my memory, but Mount Tai has really not changed much.
Looking at this mountain with five thousand years of Chinese civilization heritage and a symbol of national prosperity and national survival, this is the spiritual home of the Chinese nation. Here, Lin Ze seemed to have finally found his sense of belonging.
Guo Jia had no leisure time to go sightseeing and had been paying attention to what was going on in Xuzhou. Only now did he know that Zhang Miao had stolen Cao Cao's home. Cao Cao had no choice but to lead troops back for reinforcements.
"My lord, did you predict that Zhang Miao was going to stab Cao Cao in the back?"
Lin Zedao: "I'm not that smart, I just have a feeling in the dark. Xuzhou is such an important place, and it's impossible for people in the world to let Cao Cao get Xuzhou so easily."
Lin Ze was a little worried about Guo Jia's health and asked, "Can your body bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling?"
"No problem, I just think the weather is cold."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Spring in the north is slow and rough. You have been around Yuan Shao, haven't you gotten used to this kind of weather?"
Guo Jia said helplessly: "No, I have been afraid of the cold since I was a child."
"It means your body lacks yang energy. You listen to me and practice Baduanjin every day. You should also eat the medicinal diet I prepare for you on time. First of all, you must be healthy."
Guo Jiadao: "It's okay, my lord, since we are here, let's go up the mountain and have a look. Mount Tai is safe, and all the seas are safe. How can we not go up the mountain when we come to the place where the First Emperor enshrined himself?"
Lin Ze didn't quite believe in Guo Jia's body and asked, "Can you walk?"
"You can walk!"
Lin Ze said: "Ziwu, choose two hundred smart people to follow me up the mountain to take care of military safety. The rest will be under the care of the Langya Regiment and camp at the foot of the mountain."
There are no roads in the world. Roads become roads when there are more people walking on them. Mount Tai is not that difficult to climb at this time. Emperors of every generation believe that Mount Tai is the place closest to the sky. Repairing the road to climb Mount Tai is a major construction project. .
It's a pity that the emperor has not been to Mount Tai since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. The bluestone has been covered by weeds. The higher you climb, the thicker the snow on the steps becomes. However, there are the latest footprints on it. There should be tourists here. .
The falling snow in the mountains made Mount Tai even more majestic, majestic, mysterious and beautiful. They saw the magnificent landscape of Shiwu pines, sea of clouds and jade plates.
Guo Jia stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the sea of clouds, and said: "The white clouds have dispersed by themselves. Who will the bright moon fall on?"
As the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms, Guo Jia was concerned about the country and the people. He said these two sentences, but he was actually talking about whose future the Han Dynasty would belong to.
But at this moment, someone in the distance shouted: "Who is making that noise? Get it for me..."
