The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Miao asked, "What is it?"

Chen Gong said: "Xun Zhendong and Sun Wentai are good allies. If they invade Chenliu with the troops of Xu and Henan, they will be talented people based on the people, materials and troops of my county. The bravery of the overlord is definitely not their opponent. Judging from the current situation, if the ruler of Mingfu wants to keep Chenliu, he must seek out a strong alliance and combine the strength of the strong alliance to fight against Xu and Yu together. That's how it works."

Zhang Miao pondered and said, "Although Cao Mengde was defeated in Rencheng and retreated to the Cheng clan without a fight, he is now in Dongjun, and there are still tens of thousands of people. How about I form an alliance with Mengde?"

Chen Gong said: "It is of course possible to form an alliance with Duke Cao, but why did Gong leave Duke Cao to join the Duke of Mingfu? It is because Duke Cao has no intention of fighting Xuzhou. If the situation is favorable for us, I believe Duke Cao We will definitely fight hand in hand with Lord Mingfu; however, if the situation is unfavorable for our side, I am afraid that Duke Cao will be afraid of the battle, and even give up the East Commandery, flee again, go west, and go to Yuan Benchu. Therefore, in Gong's humble opinion, only relying on Duke Cao may not be enough."

Zhang Miao understood the meaning of Chen Gong's words.

In short, Chen Gong is saying: Cao Cao is unreliable.

Zhang Miao asked, "In view of your high opinion, who else should I form an alliance with?"

He thought to himself, "My Chenliu County is adjacent to Hanoi County in the west, but I can form an alliance with Zhang Yang of Hanoi, but Zhang Yang can't help but bow down to Yuan Benchu's breath. Since the previous time when I was begging for Dong, the princes from all walks of life gathered together, and after Benchu ​​became the leader of the alliance. , I have changed from the old state in the beginning. I am often arrogant and reserved, invincible, and even privately ordered Meng De to kill me. I have a very bad relationship with the original now, and it is expected that the original will not help me. Zhang Yang here, obviously not It's possible. Apart from Zhang Yang, the only ones who can be my allies and Yu and Xu's enemies are Lu Bu and Yuan Gonggong. Does Chen Gongtai want me to form an alliance with Lu Bu and Yuan Gonggong?"

However, it is said that Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao. In fact, it is not only because Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance and his temperament became arrogant. Among them, after Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, Zhang Miao regarded himself very highly. He had to give up the position of leader of the alliance to him, but it was inevitable that he was a little convinced, and his eyes were hot, so he often criticized him in public at this time, and it was because of Yuan Shao's face.

——Zhang Miao is not very convinced by Yuan Shao, it is understandable to think about it. Not to mention Zhang Miao's reputation and reputation in China, but to say that all the soldiers and horses gathered together, where was the main force gathered? It is in Suanzao County in Chenliu County. Zhang Miao, as the prefect of Chenliu, was the landlord. As a landlord, then even if Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, Zhang Miao thought to himself, could he be considered a deputy leader?

In order to establish his prestige, how could Yuan Shao endure this idea of ​​Zhang Miao? So Yuan Shao ordered Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao. However, Cao Cao was concerned with the overall situation, and naturally refused to obey Yuan Shao's order.

This matter was leaked to Zhang Miao intentionally by Cao Cao. During that time, the relationship between Cao and Zhang quickly warmed up and quickly entered the honeymoon period. Later, Chen Gong, Bao Xin and others worked for Cao Cao and recommended him. When he succeeded Liu Dai and served as the prefect of Yanzhou, it was also because of this past story. In order to thank Cao Cao for his friendship, although Zhang Miao was not very happy, he did not object, and reciprocated, showing a supportive attitude.

However, up to now, after all, each has its own interests, and that Cao Cao has been defeated repeatedly, it seems that it was a wrong choice to elect him as the prefect of Yanzhou, but the two people are almost at odds with each other.

Sure enough, I heard Chen Gong say: "Yuan Gonggong is sitting on Nanyang, Nanyang is rich and prosperous, this big county is also, Lv Bu is his minion, Lv Bu is a hero, and he is good at fighting. The ruler of Mingfu can send an envoy to communicate with Yuan Gonggong, and give gifts to Lv Bu. If he can make an alliance with Yuan Gonggong and use Lv Bu as an ally, what will Sun Wentai think about? In this way, Xun Zhendong's left arm will be cut off. Then, Duke Ming and Duke Cao will jointly control Xuzhou. It is expected that Yuan Benchu ​​will not sit back and watch Xun Zhendong occupy the entire Yan, and there will definitely be assistance; Xun Zhendong will not be enough to harm our county!"

Zhang Miao touched his knees and said, "Sir, what you said is very true!" Gu Yu, Zhang Chao and the others said, "I hear the words of the public platform today, and my county is worry-free!"

Zhang Chao was a little confused, he asked Chen Gong, and said, "With your talent, even under Xun Zhendong's account, you will definitely be able to use it. Is it necessary for my county to be the enemy of Zhendong?"

This is really incomprehensible.

Like Yuan Yi, the reason why he abandoned the county and refused to surrender to Xun Zhen was because he belonged to the Yuan family, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, and now Jizhou has a prosperous career, without Shanyang, he still has Jizhou. Ben, - he has gone to Jizhou now.

Like Wu Zi, the reason why he would rather run away than surrender is because he knows that once he surrenders, even if Xun Zhen will be more polite than him, in any case, he will not be able to take charge of a county like this, that is to say, he From now on, the status will be greatly changed.

Like Zhang Miao, the reason why he did not surrender is that he and Xun Zhen were both ministers of the Han family. Xun Zhen invaded Yan without an imperial order, which was an act of disobedience. Down here? If it falls, wouldn't he also become a chaotic thief? The two, in fact, are due to the fact that Fang Jin is now a group of heroes at home and abroad. Although Xun Zhen is strong, he is only one of the heroes, and he is the same as Zhang Miao in essence and status. If this is the case, then he is Zhang Miao. Why did you drop your worth and become a prisoner?

There are reasons for Yuan Yi and others not to surrender.

Why did Chen Gong refuse to surrender to Xun Zhen? Not only did he refuse to surrender, but when Cao Cao retreated several times and finally decided to withdraw to Dongjun, he was furious, walked away, and turned to Zhang Miao. What is this for? No matter how Zhang Chao thought about it, he felt that he didn't understand.

When Chen Gong heard Zhang Chao's words, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Your remark is absurd!"

"What's wrong?"

"I have no grievances or enmity with Xun Zhendong, why should I be an enemy of him? I am not an enemy of Xun Zhendong, I am an enemy of those who do not have the ambitions of the emperor and the wolf son, and I am the enemy who commits crimes against our Yanzhou and suffers our Yan people. The enemy is the enemy!"

Zhang Chao said, "Oh?"

"Xun Zhendong invaded our Yanzhou for no reason, what did he want to do? I heard rumors that Bao Jun Yuncheng, when guarding Shouzhang, summoned soldiers, blew drums and flags, burst into tears, and said to the soldiers: 'Xun Zhenzhi is another Dong Zhuo!' This is true! Xun Zhendong wants to be Dong Zhuo, I am a Han retainer, and I should be loyal to the Han family! , the people have been miserable, and Xunzhen East has come to invade our land and kill my Yan people, how can I sit back and watch? I am a Yanren, and I should protect the land for Yanren!

Most of the people present were Chen Liu's scholars. As soon as Chen Gong's words fell, several people applauded.

One person said: "Gongtai is really my loyal and upright person! Let the incompetent, dare to petition with Gongtai to defend against foreign aggression, slaughter and disobey!"

Everyone saw that the man who spoke was in his thirties, with a handsome appearance, a beautiful beard under his chin, sitting in the middle of the crowd, like a white crane, and he was very arrogant. He was from Chenliu Junyi County, his name was Bian Let, Li Wenli.

Another person said: "The integrity of the public platform can be seen in the sun. Although the valley is mediocre, he dares to invite Jiwei to do his best for me!"

This man was older, forty or fifty years old. He was from Chenliuyu County, his name was Cai Gu, and he was the younger brother of Cai Yong, a famous scholar today. Xuanxian County was burnt down by Sun Jian a few days ago, and Cai Gu's house was also destroyed in the fire. Compared with Bian Rang, his tone was even more indignant.

The rest of the people, Ruan Dun and Ruan Yu from Chen Liuwei's family, Dong Fang from Jiyin Dingtao, etc., also expressed their own opinions. They all praised Chen Gong and were willing to work with him. Sasuke Zhang Miao, together to resist Xun Zhen's aggression.

The moonlight was bright outside the hall, and the crowd in the hall was enthusiastic.

Zhang Miao repaired two letters the next day, and sent two close military officials, disguised, to infiltrate Yuzhou, one to Nanyang, Ji and Yuan Shu, and the other to the south bank of Rushui in Runan County, to send them with Lu Bu.

...

Jiyin County, Dingtao County.

The battle against Yan has basically come to an end by now.

In fact, the acquisition of Shanyang and Jiyin prefectures exceeded Xun Zhen's expectations before the war.

Now, after several fierce battles, the various units of the Xuzhou Army were exhausted and had no spare energy to continue launching a large-scale attack. At the same time, Sun Jian could no longer help Xun Zhen too much.

There are still tens of thousands of Cao Cao's works, and there is a natural danger of the Yellow River in the east of Dongjun, which is the second.

If he attacks Dongjun again, Yuan Shao will most likely rush to help Cao Cao.

Combining these three points, Xun Zhen has made the decision to end the battle a few days ago after repeated consideration.

Xi Zhicai did not raise any different opinions on this.

All in all, next, Xun Zhen's focus will be on appeasing the new territories of the counties and counties in Yanzhou that have been acquired, and collecting the hearts of scholars and public opinion in these counties and counties.

After discussions with Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Zhang Zhao and others, Xun Zhen initially decided on the military and political candidates to rule and defend Yan.

Xun You's appointment as the prefect of Yanzhou was the first decision made by Xun Zhen.

Will the DPRK and China agree? Maybe, maybe not, more likely, maybe no response at all. None of this matters. Anyway, as long as the above form is delivered, the meaning is reached, and it will be done.

The political and military affairs of Yanzhou were entrusted to Xun You.

Not to mention political affairs, but in military affairs, Xun Zhen decided to use Yue Jin as Xun You's main assistant.

He cited Le Jin as "Leading the prefect of Shanyang with the general of the side".

The state governance of Yanzhou is in Changyi. Changyi is also the prefecture of Yanzhou and the county of Shanyang. This means that Xun You and Le Jin will be in the same city for a long period of time. Neither of them were arrogant, and Xun Zhen believed that they could be united.

The position of the prefect of Jiyin, Xun Zhen appointed Liu Fu, who is now an official in Xuzhou Prefecture, serving as the "Cao Wei of the Ministry of County".

Liu Fu was a native of Peiguo County. Pei State is to the east of Jiyin, and the two counties have a short border. Therefore, Liu Fu and Jiyin County's gentry and literati, many of them have old contacts and are familiar with each other. Familiarity is one of them. In addition, the most important thing is that Liu Fu is talented in both humanities and martial arts. He is by no means the so-called "Gao Shi" who can only talk about things. During these months in this position, he has done excellent work and was appraised as "accurate and successful".

It is very appropriate to use him to treat Yin.

Minister of Jibei, Xun Zhen appointed Xu Zhuo.

Jibei County is adjacent to Licheng, where Zhao Yun is currently stationed in the north, and Dongjun and Pingyuan County to the west. It is not only the rear of Licheng, but also a key to whether Licheng can be defended and stabilized. Licheng, the northern end of the overall western front running through Yanzhou and Qingzhou, faced an important town in Dongjun. In terms of military and politics, it is obvious that military is more important than politics.

But the political aspect cannot be completely ignored.

Xu Zhuo has been with Xun Zhen for many years. He has been trained for a long time and has no problems in the military. In politics, he has generally been around Xun Zhen over the years, and has also learned some of Xun Zhen's methods of administration. A county, he still has the ability to manage well.

Moreover, he is smart and courageous. When the situation is urgent, such as Cao Cao suddenly attacking Jibei, and it is too late to ask Xun Zhen who is far away in Xuzhou how to deal with it, he must have the courage and dare to make a decision.

It is also appropriate to use Xu Zhuo in Jibei.

Xun Zhen decided to use Xun Yue as the prime minister of the city.

The strategic position of the city of Kangfu in Ren Chengguo is very important, but now that the territory of the Xuzhou army has reached Jiyin in the west and Jibei and Licheng in the north, the importance of Kangfu is actually not very important. The focus of this county is no longer military, but more political. Rencheng is the smallest county in Yanzhou, with only three counties under its jurisdiction, so it is relatively easy to govern. Xun Zhen deliberately made this county a "model county" and a "model county" with outstanding achievements in humanities, people's livelihood and other aspects. Xinzhan County", thus playing a role as a benchmark to enhance his prestige in Yanzhou. Therefore, he gave Xun Yue the post of prefect of the county.

Xun Yue is a member of the Xun clan with the highest cultivation of Confucianism and history. His deceased father, Xun Jian, was the great dragon among the eight dragons of the Xun clan. It is very appropriate to use it to govern this county.

Shanyang, Jiyin, Jibei, and Rencheng were the four counties gained in this war.

The chief officials of the four counties have all been confirmed.

At this time, in the hall of Dingtao County Mansion, Xi Zhicai was in Xunzhen, and made a suggestion that he came up with after deep thought.

His suggestion was to separate out several counties south of Pushui in Jiyin County and set up another county.

Xi Zhicai said: "Liu Yuanying has a good grasp of business opportunities and is a capable person. The lord appointed him to manage Jiyin, and he is knowledgeable and skillful. However, Jiyin County is already a newly acquired county. It borders Chenliu County; those who govern this county must not only win the hearts of the people in the county, but also face the two powerful enemies Cao Mengde and Zhang Mengzhuo.

"Among the two enemies of Cao Mengde and Zhang Mengzhuo, Cao Mengde is especially the most powerful. In this situation, Zhongzhi's foolish opinion, it is better to take Lihu, Juyang, Chengyang and Juancheng in the middle of Jiyin County, south of Pushui and adjacent to Dong County. The five counties of Linqiu and Linqiu are analyzed. Don’t set up a new county, choose a battle to defend it, and control Cao Mengde. In this way, the pressure on Liu Yuanying will be much less, and it will also help him to devote more energy to appease People's hearts, recruit scholars, and cure the county."

Xun Zhen immediately understood what Xi Zhicai meant.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "Zhicai's proposal, to put it bluntly, is to separate Lihu and other counties, and set up a separate military-oriented theater to resist Cao Mengde's possible counterattack on Jiyin County. To ensure that Liu Fu can settle down in Jiyin as soon as possible."

This is an excellent suggestion.

Xun Zhen was as good as a stream, and immediately accepted Xi Zhicai's advice.

He said to Xi Zhicai: "The idea of ​​Zhicai is a brilliant strategy!" He asked Xi Zhicai, and said, "In your opinion, who should choose to guard this newly established county?"

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Le Wenqian and Pan Wengui are from the East County. Today, General Le has been appointed by the lord as the prefect of Shanyang, and he leads the army to assist the public to station in Shanyang; then the newly established county, of course, is to use Pan Wengui is here to stand up."

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Zhicai and I, see the same thing!" Suddenly feeling touched, he smiled again, "Wen Qian and Wen Gui both have the word 'wen' in them, but these two ministers are both partial. It is also an interesting thing to be outstanding in martial arts." He said, "I will use Dongjun Erwen to protect me!"

After thinking about it for a while, Xun Zhen asked Xi Zhicai, and said, "What is the name of the newly established county?"

Xi Zhicai pondered for a while, already had an idea, and said with a smile, "Cao Dongjun's military use is cunning, and the difference is comparable to that of a fox, but he fought with the main bus, but he was defeated repeatedly, first fled from Rencheng to Cheng's, and then again From Cheng's to Dongjun, it can be said to be a flight and then escape, and then leave again. Among the five counties including Lihu, the closest to Puyang County, the county seat of Dongjun, is Lihu County. The two cities are opposite to each other and the distance is not enough. Baili~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is also known as Lihu Keye."

The name of Lihu County comes from a legend. According to the old legend, the county was initially set up on the south bank of Pushui. Xi Zhicai's remarks are borrowing the legend of Lihu County's name to satirize Cao Cao's repeated defeats.

Xun Zhen laughed and said, "Don't you hear about victory or defeat? Where can there be a general who has won every battle? Although Meng Dejin has been defeated again and again, I shouldn't make fun of him. Zhicai, you are going too far!"

Xi Zhicai said, "Yes." He asked Xun Zhen, and said, "So, I don't know what your lord thinks to name this new county?"

"I think Lihu is a good name."

Xi Zhicai was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed.

The laughter stopped, and Xi Zhicai asked, "I heard from a general in the army yesterday that Xuande asked to stay with Kang's father, but the lord refused. Why is this?"

Xun Zhen said: "Dongping and Jibei to the north of Rencheng, and Shanyang to the south and west have all belonged to Xuzhou; this city of Kangfu is now in the interior of my land of Xu and Yan, and there is no strong force outside. The threat of the enemy does not require an admiral to be in command. Xuande’s defense is really overkill, so I don’t allow it.”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "So it is."

A military official came from outside the hall, holding a box the size of a human head, and begging to see Xun Zhen.
