New Story of Lv Bu

Ten days later, at noon on July 18, Cao Cao led tens of thousands of remnants and finally returned to Junzhi Changyi in Shanyang County, Yanzhou. Since ancient times, there have been many famous cities in Shandong, Dayi, Changyi and Dingtao are two of them. The seven counties of Yanzhou, Dongjun, Chenliu, and Jiyin were already in the hands of Lu Bujun. Cao Cao returned from his army and had to settle in Changyi temporarily, and Xu Tu recovered.

Changyi is a famous city in Shandong. In summer, the land belongs to Qingzhou. "Historical Records? Xia Benji" contains: "The sea, Dai but Qingzhou." That is, the east of Mount Tai to the sea is Qingzhou. During the Shang Dynasty, Changyi was a territory of Lai State. In the Zhou Dynasty, Changyi had Yuan, Mi, Beidian, Duchang and Tangxiang. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhuanggong's four years, after Qi Mieji, set it as a farewell capital. "Twenty-eight years of Zuo Zhuan? Xianggong" contains: "With Yanzibei Palace, it is sixty, and Fushou." Its place was once known as an ancient city, and now there is a village named Xinyi in the west, and a famous village in the north, which is the seat of the city. .

In the twenty-sixth year of the first emperor, he eliminated Qi and returned to Qin. The county belongs to Jiaodong County, and the area south of Yinma belongs to Langya County. After the founding of the country, Duchang, Mixiang, Pingcheng, and Jiaoyang used to be the Hou State, and the latter were counted as counties, and belonged to Beihai County; and Xia Mi, which belonged to Jiaodong. After Emperor Guangwu set the tripod, it belonged to Jiaodong country. A few years ago, Guan Hai led the Yellow Turban Army to fought in the county, and Kong Rong sent the Yellow Turban Army to Duchang. The historical record: "Yuan Tan was based in Qingzhou, Gong Beihai Xiang Kong merged in Duchang, and defeated Dongshan." The battle of Duchang was a famous battle.

Dingtao was called Tao in ancient times. In ancient times, it was the core area of ​​Chinese tribal activities. Because Yao was also called Tao Tang, it was named Tao Qiu. During the Yao and Shun periods, it was the ancient pottery country. At the time of Xia and Shang, the pottery land was the country of Sanhu. After King Wu defeated him, he named his sixth brother Zhenduo Cao Bo and established the State of Cao as the capital of Taoqiu. "Said Wen": "Taoqiu has Yao city, and Yao tastes to live in it." This Yao city refers to the ancient pottery city. In the 30th year of Song Jinggong, the State of Cao was destroyed by the State of Song, and the county government moved to the old city of Dingtao, which is between Liuzhuang and Lixianzhuang of Tapo today. There are still ruins.

In the twenty-sixth year of the first emperor, Dingtao County was set up. The reason why it is named Dingtao comes from an anecdote. According to "Historical Records": At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li assisted Yue to destroy Wu and moved to Tao, "Taking Tao as the world", and then settled here for business. "During the nineteen years, three daughters were honored by future generations." Shang Zu was buried in Tao after his death, and the name Ding Tao was born from this. Three years before the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Jiyin County was changed to Jiyin County, and then to Dingtao Kingdom. It was changed to Jiyin County in this dynasty. Jiyin County is located in the center of Yanzhou, and Taoxiang is a strategic location.

Today, the seven counties of Yanzhou, and the east county, Chenliu county, and Jiyin county in the west are occupied by Zhang Miao and Chen Gong. The four counties of Jibei State, Dongping State, Rencheng State, and Shanyang County in the east still honor Cao Cao’s orders in name, but in fact they are imaginary and ill-fated. After Cao Cao returned to his teacher, the first priority was to clean up the four counties in the east, collect grass and collect grain, and restore Yanzhou.

Zhang Miao's younger brother, Zhang Chao, garrisoned Jiyin County and took Dingtao, the ruler of Jiyin County, as a stronghold, preparing to resist Cao's stormy attack. "Meng Gao, I have handed over all the elites under my hands to you! This time, as long as you stay in Dingtao for two months, we will win! Pingzhangshi's army will be dispatched to determine Yanzhou and Qingzhou in one fell swoop. , Xuzhou three states." Before leaving, Zhang Miao patted Zhang Chao on the shoulder and said earnestly. "No!" Zhang Chao arched his hand, replied loudly, and got on his horse.

Dingtao is in the west and Changyi is in the east. The two places are only a hundred miles apart, facing each other. Now, the war is about to begin.

Zhang Chao, whose name is Meng Gao, Dongping Shou Zhang, the younger brother of Chen Liu's prefect Zhang Miao. Zhang Chao used to serve as the prefect of Guangling in Xuzhou and requisitioned celebrities like Zang Hong and Yuan Sui. At the time of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Dong Zhuo killed the young emperor Liu Bian. Zang Hong felt that the world was in chaos, so he persuaded Zhang Chao to say: "The Ming mansion has been greatly favored by the royal family in the past. The brothers are all chiefs of the big county. Now the royal family is in danger. The thieves have not been first shown to the public. This is a good time for the righteous men of the world to serve the royal family! Now your county has not suffered from the war, the officials and the people are very rich. If you beat the drums, many people will soon come to respond. Using this army to punish the country's thieves and kill the world, this is the performance of the righteous man." Zhang Chao listened to him, and went west to Chenliu with Zang Hong to meet his brother Zhang Miao and discuss the matter of starting the army.

Zhang Miao had this intention long ago, so the two armies reunited in the wild jujube. Zhang Miao said to Zhang Chao, “I know that my younger brother is the county guard and educates the people to show power and kindness. It is not all that is in charge of himself, but because of the reuse of Zang Hong. Who is Zang Hong?” Zhang Chao said: “ Zang Hong is really an amazing man at home. His talent is extraordinary, and I value him very much." Zhang Miao met Zang Hong and talked with him, deeply surprised. So he was introduced to Liu Dai, the provincial governor of Yanzhou and Kong Ni, the provincial governor of Yuzhou. They also became good friends with Zang Hong, and they have enjoyed a big name ever since.

Later, when the teams were all there, the Jujube Allies held a meeting to announce to everyone the course of action for this move. But when the oath of the altar was established, the princes of all walks of life pushed to each other and refused to take the oath. Push Zang Hong to the altar. Zang Hong made no refusal, and made an oath of blood in the altar. Zang Hong's tone was generous and passionate, and he exchanged tears and tears, and delivered an inspiring speech:

The first is to denounce Dong Zhuo's atrocities: the Han Dynasty is unfortunate, the imperial Gang is out of reunification, and the thieves Dong Zhuo provokes and indulges, adds to the supreme misfortune, abuses the people, fears the loss of society, and overwhelms the world. Second, announced the list of benevolent and righteous people who sought Dong: Yanzhou governor Shidai, Yuzhou governor, Chenliu prefect Miao, Dongjun prefect Liao, Guangling prefect super, etc., to rectify the righteous soldiers, and go to the country. Third, the pledge: wherever we are in an alliance, we will make concerted efforts to achieve the official festival, the death of the head and the death of the unit, and there will be no two ambitions. There is this alliance of Yu, and it will die, and there will be no inheritance. The emperor and the queen of earth, the ancestors are bright, they are all lessons! "Zang Hong's remarks were impassioned, and when I heard this pledge from the governor of the governor to the servants of the army, I was all moved and exhilarated. This time, Zhang Chao's name of Zang Hong was broadcast in China, and it became a momentary one. Hero.

Zang Hong, whose name is Ziyuan, is a native of Sheyang County, Guangling County. He is thirty-six years old this year and the son of Zang Min, the current second-rank Xianbei right governor. Zang Hong is a man of dignity and filial piety. First conferred on Yilang, moved to Guangling Gongcao. Once set up an oath for the Kwantung Allied Forces to jointly defeat Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao liked him and recommended him as the governor of Qingzhou and transferred to the prefect of Dongjun. He has good governance and outstanding achievements, and won the support of the people.

It stands to reason that Zang Min is Lv Bu's subordinate, Zang Hong should go and defect. However, Zang Hong became famous very early and he had been in official positions long ago. By the time Lu Bu had become a climate, he was already in the class of two thousand stones. Coupled with his relationship with Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, he would rather stay in Yanzhou than go to Luoyang City, the capital of the Han Dynasty, as an official. At the same time, Yuan Shao cherished his talents and reputation, refused to let him into the capital, and became an able minister under Lu Bu's account, so he had to remain in office under Yuan Shao's account. Zang Hong and Zhang Chao have been in close contact with each other in letters.

After Cao Cao's army entered Changyi, he spent lunch, freshened up a bit, and immediately got up and went to see someone who was Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai, name loyal, word Zhicai, a native of Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, this person is from a great family, he is clear and decisive, and has many wonderful schemes. In Cao Cao's army, Xi Zhicai always saw the dragon without seeing the end, but Cao Cao knew that this man was indeed as big as the sea.

At this time, Xi Zhicai was already very sick. Although he would not die, he had been sick for a long time. Cao Cao was shocked as soon as he saw Xi Zhicai. After months of not seeing him, Xi Zhicai was already sick. "I haven't seen him for a few months, Zhicai is here!" Cao Cao couldn't help but feel greatly annoyed. He has hundreds of battles in his life, literary and martial arts, benefited from a lot of talent in drama, just like this.

"My lord, I know my illness myself. I am afraid that time is running out. The reason why I asked the lord to rush here is because I have a few last words to explain." Xizhi sighed and said slowly. "My illness is the result of years of overwork and illness. I have spent my mind and mind all day long. It is like an exhausted lamp, and it is absolutely impossible to cure. I hope the Lord will remember the words on my deathbed."

"The words of Zhicai must be a good one. You say, I will listen carefully." Cao Cao stopped being wordy when he saw that the matter was over, he sat down, looked at Xi Zhicai, and said softly. "In the assassination of King Wen, the generals Gao Shun and Zhao Yijun Yan Yan died. Lu Fengxian mourned so much that he fell ill. As a result, everyone was greatly relieved, thinking that they had more time. To be honest, this statement is ridiculous!" At this point, Xi Zhi slowly raised his eyes, and two scorching eyes flashed in his eyes.

"What's the meaning of this? Ask Zhicai to speak bluntly." Cao Cao was also straight to the point. "Lord, how dare you ask Lu Linghao?" Xi Zhicai asked. "Although General Lingchao is a woman, she is superior to the usual beards and eyebrows. She leads thousands of troops, ten battles and ten decisive battles, and victorious in a hundred battles. She is a good warrior! I recently heard that she is the official secretary of the third grade. Focus on the affairs of the court and make a lot of achievements." Cao Cao replied.

Upon hearing Cao Cao's words, Xi Zhicai's face showed a smile. "However, what does the lord think of Lu Zheng?" "Lu Zheng, a genius general who came out in five hundred years, was able to defeat the Guishuang Empire in a weak year, and his merits surpassed Wei Huo Duojun! If it is only on martial arts, He is indeed the first good general in this dynasty! Throughout the ages, only Wu Anjun can be compared with him." Cao Cao nodded.

"The lord's saying is very true!" Xi Zhi first slapped Cao Cao's flattery, and then he came to the key point. "Among Lu Fengxian's three sons and two daughters, his eldest son Lu An has the best reputation, and he is known as a benevolent emperor. Lu Lingqian and Lu Zheng are both so outstanding, let alone Lu An? Has the lord ever thought about it for more than a year. Where is it? What is he doing? Lord, take precautions!"

Having said that, in Xi Zhicai's eyes, the flames gradually dimmed, full of sadness and desolation, as if they wanted nothing.
