The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The content of this military report is not only about Yuan Shao in Jizhou, but also about Gongsun Zan.

After Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought at Jieqiao last year, Gongsun Zan was defeated and retreated, but Gongsun Zan's strength still remained.

Therefore, at the beginning of the spring of this year, that is, almost at the same time when Xuzhou invaded Yanzhou, Gongsun Zan made a comeback and went south to Jizhou again. In the area of ​​Longcuo, a ferry crossing on the border of Pingyuan County in the northeast of Ganling Kingdom, there was a second battle with Yuan Shao's troops. 's fierce battle.

The southwest part of Ganling State borders the northeast corner of Wei County, which is Yuan Shao's current stronghold.

Judging from the location of the battlefield alone, it seems that between You and Ji, Gongsun Zan still has the initiative to attack, but this war, like the Battle of Jieqiao, still ended in the defeat of Gongsun Zan's clan.

Although Gongsun Zan failed, there was a small episode at the end of this war.

The military newspaper wrote: Yuan Shao won the victory and had a banquet at Boluojin, and then reported at the banquet, Weijun soldiers rebelled, joined forces with Heishan, and occupied Yecheng. Yuan Shao's generals and family members, or some of them in Ye, all turned pale with fear, or got up and wept. There were generals in Montenegro who attached to Yuan Shao, who protected Yuan Shao and the families of the generals, and sent them to the Qiuqiu. Yuan Shao then advanced and attacked the city of Ye.

What kind of people were Xun Zhen, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Chen Qun?

Just from these short sentences in the military newspaper, I can guess why Yecheng was in chaos at that time.

Xi Zhicai said: "During the battle of Jieqiao, Wen Heishan army helped Gongsun Bogui. This Heishan army, which joined forces with the rebels of Wei County to conquer Yecheng, must be the same as in the battle of Jieqiao, responding to Gongsun Zan is undoubtedly.

"Perhaps, his attack on Yecheng was agreed with Gongsun Zan long before the battle of Longcuo. Yuan Benchu's relatives and the families of his generals were mostly in Yecheng. At the same time, Yuan Benchu ​​suddenly received a report saying that Yecheng had fallen. No matter how calm and calm he was, his generals would definitely panic and panic, and the army would be in chaos; Gongsun Bogui took the opportunity to attack it, and Yuan Benchu ​​would be defeated! , Gongsun Bogui's army was defeated too quickly, and Yecheng was lost too late."

Although Yuan Shao had launched several attacks against the Montenegrin Army, and several attacks had won many victories, the Montenegrin Army was not the name of an army, but a group. The Jizhou Civilian Army, which bears the name of the Montenegrin Army, is not to mention the small ones, but the ones with a large number of troops, at least one or twenty troops. Yuan Shao could defeat and defeat one, two, or a few of them, but he couldn't eliminate them all without doing his best. Moreover, whenever the battle was unfavorable, the Montenegrin army would hide behind hundreds of thousands of troops. In the Taihang Mountains, to avoid the sharpness of Yuan Shao's army, it increased the difficulty of destroying them.

Therefore, the existing strength of the Montenegrin Army is still relatively strong. Just like Zhang Feiyan, who was once defeated by Xun Zhen and later obtained the position of a middle-ranking general from the court, the next one is the strongest of them, and he is also the nominal commander of the Montenegrin Army. He is the only one under his account. There are tens of thousands of ministries and thousands of cavalry. ——Xun Zhen, Xi Zhicai and others were extremely suspicious that the Montenegrin army that captured Yecheng was his army.

As Xi Zhicai said, if the Montenegrin army could capture Ye City in time when Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao Longcuo fought, the situation of the Longcuo battle would very likely be changed.

Even more than just changing the outcome of this battle, Yuan Shao could only go east and enter Dongjun when his old nest was seized, there was no way to retreat, and Gongsun Zan was victorious before him. The change of owner was at least temporarily occupied by Gongsun Zan.

However, if this kind of situation really happened, it would be good for Gongsun Zan, but it would not be good for Xun Zhen, but would be bad. Even if they were defeated by Long Ju, Yuan Shao's troops would still retain a lot. In addition to his reputation, once he joined forces with Cao Cao, Xun Zhen could only retreat back to Xu. He would not be able to fight this Yanzhou. Of course, the Jiyin, Shanyang and other counties occupied were not accounted for.

Fortunately, Gongsun Zan was defeated and Yuan Shao did not enter Yan, so Xun Zhen could win the battle with Cao Cao.

But then again, despite the failure of Gongsun Zan this time, Xun Zhen occupied more than half of Yanzhou. In the short term, it was a benefit, but in the long run, Yuan Shao further consolidated his rule in Jizhou and looked to the future. However, it was not as good as Jizhou, which was occupied by Gongsun Zan, who was not recognized by the scholar-officials as a "yonger" with credit, but it was beneficial to Xun Zhen.

You, Ji, Yan, and Qingzhou are four states. Jizhou is connected to the three states of You, Yan, and Qing, and Yanzhou is connected to the two states of Ji and Qing.

To put it in a big way, what more than these four states? Xuzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and even the states in the south of the Yangtze River, when a major change occurs in one of the states, wouldn't it have a direct or indirect impact on the other states? Therefore, there is a saying that "Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain; those who do not seek the whole world are not enough to seek a moment."

Xun Zhen took the military report that everyone sent back, put it on the case, pondered for a while, and said: "Chu Feiyan, this son, we are all familiar with. This son has both wisdom and courage, and he is not a mediocre person. The Heishan army that attacked Yecheng was the part under his tent, or the other part of Heishan under his command. Although Chu Feiyan was appointed as a general in peacetime, but he was still a thief when he gathered in the mountains and fields, and he was in Montenegro. The prestige of the army is very high, not to mention a hundred responses, but also a large number of responders, and it is a great enemy of Yuan Benchu. He does not want to see Yuan Benchu ​​occupy Jizhou, and Yuan Benchu ​​will definitely not tolerate him.

"In the battle of Long Min, Gongsun Bogui was defeated again. Gongsun Bogui fought both in the north. He was afraid that he did not have the capital to compete with Yuan Benchu. The foreign aggression has been eliminated, and the next step, I think, Yuan Benchu ​​will probably concentrate his strength. Destroy Montenegro and start a war with Chu Feiyan!"

Zhang Feiyan's original surname was Chu. After Zhang Niujiao, the first generation of the Montenegrin Army, led the Jizhou hero Zhang Niujiao to die in battle, in order to unify Zhang Niujiao's work, he changed his surname to Zhang, but before he changed his surname, Xun Zhen fought against him. , so it is customary to call him by his original surname.

Xi Zhicai said: "Although Chu Feiyan has a plan, he is definitely not Yuan Benchu's opponent. However, there are many soldiers in Montenegro, and they are hidden in the mountains. It is not easy for Yuan Benchu ​​to destroy them all. He can't do this. It's a bit of a benefit for the master to appease Yanzhou."

Xun Zhen thought the same way, nodded and said, "Yuan Benchu ​​defeated Gongsun Zan twice, and his prestige has grown. If he defeats the Heishan Army again and uses its elite soldiers for use, the army will be stronger. Until then, even if he The focus of the battle is still Youzhou, but there must be spare resources to help Mengde.... Zhicai is right. Time is also very tight for us to take Yan for our use! Wen Ruo, transcribe a copy of this military newspaper and send it to Yanzhou immediately to Gongda and tell him that there may not be much time left for him to rule Yan. , it may be as short as four or five months!"

Xun Yu agreed.

Xun Zhen picked up the military newspaper, read it again, raised her head and said to everyone: "Gongsun Bogui didn't know what to think, when Long Min was fighting, he actually sent Yuan Xiwen's text before the battle at Jieqiao again. Other than that, in the meaning of "Spring and Autumn", the son is more valuable than the mother. Shao's mother is Fu's maid, and the real is humble, isn't he afraid of being associated with him?"

Fu maid, meaning servant maid. Yuan Shao's mother was a servant girl of the Yuan family, and her status was low. With his "two thousand stone family background", he can only be a junior official in the county. Didn't he think of himself when he insulted Yuan Shao like this in the letter?

Xun Zhen really did not understand this.

Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Chen Qun didn't understand either.

Chen Qun said, "Perhaps Gongsun Bogui is not inferior to his mother compared to his first mother?"

This is possible, Gongsun Zan's mother should not be a maid, but a poor family woman. Compared with Fu's maid, she is a good family.

No matter what the real reason is, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "Gongsun Zan has been defeated twice, and he has no chance to compete in Jizhou. Now that he returns to Youzhou, there will be two new situations. One is that Pingyuan Tiankai becomes a lonely army, and I may be able to plot here. One or two, as for the specific plot, is it to fight or win over? If I fight, my available troops are already relatively tight, and after I conquer this place, it will be adjacent to Yuan Benchu’s Jizhou, which seems to do more harm than good; , and if I win, will my reputation be damaged? I need to think carefully.

"...Meng De is too busy to take care of himself, and has no intention to fight against Tian Kai. Yuan Benchu's next strong enemy is the Heishan Army, and he will not scatter his energy to deal with Pingyuan County. I have plenty of time to think about this matter carefully. After it is in place, it will not be too late to pass the order to Zilong and Gongda.

"Second, the fight between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu should break out soon, but I, Xuzhou and Youzhou, are separated by Qing and Jizhou, and I can't fight, but I can't intervene!"

The discussion about the military newspaper came to an end, and the doorman outside the hall came in and reported Liu Qian's request~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Congratulations, lord."

Xun Zhen asked, "Why are you happy?"

Xi Zhicai said: "Liu Yixun, the government official of Kong Wenju, and the wise man of Beihai, now abandons Confucius and joins the lord. From this, we can see what people want. Beihai has won the lord!"

Xun Zhen said sternly: "Zhicai, Kong Gongqing is upright and virtuous, he is my elder, I admire him, he is in the North Sea, how can I enter the realm of the North Sea for no reason? Don't talk nonsense!"

Xi Zhicai thought to himself: "Wu's attack on Chu is just because of sang. Isn't it easy to find an excuse?" He smiled without saying a word.

"Wu attacked Chu because of mulberry" is a story from the Spring and Autumn Period. At the border between Chu and Wu, two women from the two countries got into a fight because of a mulberry tree, which developed into a fight between the two. The Wu family never beat the Chu family, and they were all killed. The county where the killed Wu family lived was called Beiliang. The doctor in Beiliang was furious when he heard about it. The soldiers attacked the Chu city where the family of Chu lived. When the king of Chu heard this, he was also furious, so he sent a national army to attack and destroy Beiliang. When the King of Wu heard this, he was also furious, so he dispatched his son Guang, the later King Helu of Wu, to lead his troops to attack the State of Chu, and successively attacked the two cities of the State of Chu.

Even in the Spring and Autumn Period of "unjust war", this kind of war between the two countries caused by a mulberry tree is truly unique.

Xun Zhen called Liu Qian to see him.
