The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Since Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, he has widely recruited scholars from Jizhou, such as Shenpi, Fengji, Tianfeng, etc., all of whom can be reused. Yuan Shao is from Runan, Yuzhou, bordering Yingchuan and Runan, and scholars from the two counties have close contacts. Xin Ping, Guo Tu and other scholars from Yingchuan turned to Yuan Shao.

Today, under Yuan Shao's account, two groups of scholars, namely Henan and Ji, or Yingchuan and Jizhou, have been formed.

The representatives of the Yingchuan Scholars Group are Xin Ping and Guo Tu. Both of them are from Yangzhai County. The surnames Xin and Guo are the common surnames of Yang Zhai. Xun Zhen's favorite general Xin Ai and Xin Ai's younger brother Xin Tao, who is also in Xuzhou, are of the same clan as Xin Ping; Guo Jia is a member of the Guo family in Yangzhai, but the family name of Guo Jia's family is not obvious. Basically, he is considered a cold scholar, and cannot be compared with Guo Tu's family.

Guo Tu and Xun Zhen were old acquaintances. When Xun Zhen was an official in Yingchuan in the past, Guo Tu and Xun Zhen did not deal with him very much, and there were many fights between the two. Xun Zhen has long forgotten about the past, but Guo Tu is still obsessed with it, especially Xun Zhen's power and prestige have risen day by day, Guo Tu is jealous, jealous. Next, it is inevitable to despise him even more.

However, it was said that the two groups of scholars, Yingchuan and Jizhou, under Yuan Shao's hands, were in conflict with each other.

Speaking of which, Xin Ping, Guo Tu from Yingchuan, Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Pi, and Shen Pei, Feng Ji, and Tian Feng from Jizhou, all have their own talents. The reason why Yuan Shao was able to win Han Fu The "letting the virtuous" is mainly because of Feng Ji's proposal to "make a secret agreement with Gongsun Zan to go south to force Han Fu". Among them, brothers Guo Tu and Xin Ping went to Han Fu's place to speak to Yuan Shao as Han Fu's fellow villagers. The credit of the guest is only for two reasons, causing you to despise me and I despise you, and they are at odds with each other.

For these two reasons, the first is the geographical reason.

The so-called geographical reason is not just the two places of Yingchuan and Jizhou, one south and one north, which belong to different regions, but more importantly, the folk customs of the two places of Yingchuan and Jizhou.

Yingchuan, as early as the Warring States Period, was very close to South Korea, so it was deeply influenced by the Legalists. Scholars and commoners liked lawsuits and lawsuits, and they fought each other, which caused the scholars to like to form parties; and Jizhou This place is adjacent to Youzhou in the north and Bingzhou in the west. You and Bing are both places where Han and Hu live together. The folk customs of Jizhou are therefore strong. Shenpi, Fengji, and Tianfeng have different abilities, but they have one thing in common. That is, the characters are all strong, and if they are good, they are stubborn, and if they are not good, they are stubborn.

One likes to form parties, the other is self-willed, how can the two sides live in harmony?

Coupled with Xin Ping and Guo Tu, they are also powerful and dedicated people. If they were like Xun Yu and Chen Qun, they knew how to give in and be humble. Tian Feng was so stiff, but he and Xin Pi, in terms of character, were actually similar to Shen Pei and others. In this way, it is strange that these two groups of scholars do not fight each other.

Of course, this is also related to Yuan Shao's character and ideas.

And needless to say.

It is only said that among Yuan Shao's sons, Yuan Tan is the eldest son. As the eldest son, in this political and military group of Yuan Shao, he naturally has a natural advantage in terms of identity. Xin Ping, Guo Tu, Xin Pi and other Yingchuan scholars Most are friendly with them.

This time, to attack Tian Kai in Pingyuan County, Yuan Shao sent Xin Ping and Guo Tu to Yuan Tan's army to be his counselor.

Yuan Tan sat in the tent for a while, and Xin Ping, Guo Tu, Zhang He and others came one after another.

Seeing the arrival of the three, Yuan Tan greeted them in person.

Yuan Tan is not very old, in his twenties, and in terms of appearance, he has inherited the advantages of his father Yuan Shao. The heroic spirit, although young, is actually a little majestic.

Not only does he look like his father, Yuan Tan is also deeply influenced by Yuan Shao in the way he receives people and treats.

He personally greeted the tent, returned Xin Ping, Guo Tu, and Zhang He with a salutation, and said, "I urgently invite the two gentlemen and generals to come, I just received a military newspaper, and I want to hear your opinions on what to do. response."

When he was in Yingchuan County, when he was working with Xun Zhen, Guo Tu was in his thirties at the time. In a blink of an eye, ten years later, he was in his forties. However, because his family was a famous clan, in the past ten years, he was the first to get his fellow villagers. Han Fu's re-use, after switching to Yuan Shao, although he was in troubled times, he has never suffered from turbulent times. He still lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food, so he was well maintained. Compared with the previous years, only a few wrinkles appeared at the corner of his eyes. , The short mustache in the past is now long, and there is quite a black beard under the chin. There are only two differences.

According to the words of Confucius, it has reached the age of no confusion, but there is another saying, it is said that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, but Guo Tu's temperament is still the same as before, and it has not changed due to the increase of age. , still full of pride.

Sitting on the table, he picked up the soup on the short table, took a slow sip, and put down the silver bowl. Guo Tu asked reservedly, "Your Majesty, is it He Junbao?"

The attendant in the tent took the military report handed over by Yuan Tan and presented it to Guo Tu to read.

Guo Tu opened his eyes and saw that it was written roughly above: Xunzhen East sent Xun Cheng to bring troops to help Tian Kai, claiming to be 30,000 cavalrymen, had left Exian County, and could reach Licheng within a few days. "

Exian County is the westernmost county in Taishan County. This county is bordered by Lu County, the northernmost part of Jibei, in the southwest, Zhu'a County in the southeast corner of Pingyuan County in the northwest, and Licheng in Jinan in the north.

——In the battle to destroy the Yellow Turbans in Jibei, Pan Zhang first captured the city, thus cutting off the back way for the Yellow Turbans from Jibei to escape to Qingzhou. As for the fact that Exian County belongs to Mount Tai, why is there another part of the Yellow Turbans in Jibei? The reason is also simple. This county is too close to Lu County, only more than 40 miles away, while it is more than 100 miles away from the inland counties of Taishan County, such as Ying County, Fenggao County, Bo County, etc. It is also separated by Mount Tai, so purely geographically speaking, Exian County is more like a county in Jibei or Jinan.

Exian County is also very close to Licheng City in Jinan, and it is also forty or fifty miles away. Like Tonglu County, there are no mountains and rivers in the middle.

After Guo Tu read it, he passed the military newspaper to Xin Ping, and said, "What's '30,000 cavalry'? Xun Zhenzhi is clearly talking big. He squeezed Xuzhou and squeezed again, but he couldn't squeeze it out. 30,000 soldiers come! Your Majesty, just ignore it!"

Yuan Tan asked Xin Ping and Zhang He for their opinions.

Xin Ping and Zhang He watched the military newspaper successively.

Zhang He was the last to read it. He returned the military report to the attendant in the tent, and said in a deep voice, "This '30,000-step cavalry' is definitely a false statement, but he knows that soldiers are good at fighting. He heard that Xuncheng is the younger brother of Zhendong. Since the expedition in Zhendong, he has made remarkable achievements in battle, and he is also a warrior who knows how to fight, so he should not be underestimated and should be handled with caution.”

Guo Tu said contemptuously, "Are the words 'knowledgeable soldiers' and 'remarkable military exploits' so worthless? Can a fighting child be like that?"

Zhang He is a native of Jizhou. He is not from a noble family, but a military general. Although he is not a member of Fengji, Shenpi, and Tianfeng, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and other Yingchuan scholars treat him, as well as with him. Yuan Shao's generals, such as Gao Lan, who had similar backgrounds and identities, were often excluded.

Zhang He knew that he was far from being equal to Guo Tu, so he had always just swallowed his voice in the face of their suppression.

Hearing Guo Tu's rude words at this time, Zhang He wanted to stop talking, but he thought about it and said, "This time I follow the order of the lord, and I will send you to attack Tian Kai. If I can defeat Tian Kai, , Qingzhou is owned by the master. The stakes are very important, but I have to be honest and blunt."

Thinking of this, he finally opened his mouth again and said, "Zhendong, since the uprising in the first year of Zhongping, has first suppressed the Yellow Turbans, followed by attacking Dong Zhuo, and recaptured Xuzhou. In the past, he has invaded like fire and defeated Cao Yanzhou several times. After gaining the possession of the five commanderies in Yanzhou, Cao Yanzhou had to withdraw to Dongjun. Chazhen eastern calendar battle, rare defeat, He said that he was 'skilled and good at war', which seems to be correct. Xu and others have fought in all battles. In terms of his merits, he is firmly in the forefront among the generals under Zhendong's tent. He can be said to be on the same level as Xu Junqing, but Le Wenqian is not as good! He called him 'remarkable' , seems to be correct."

After saying this, Zhang He said to Yuan Tan again, "Your Majesty, don't take it lightly!"

Guo Tu smiled and said, "Xun Zhenzhi and I are old acquaintances. Ten years ago, Duke Yin came to Yingchuan, and I was a planner for the county government. At the time of Xun Zhen, I was the head of a pavilion in Fanyang! Li Er! I know this person very well, but he has a false name but has no benevolence and righteousness, and he is cruel by nature. He was later moved to the northern part of Yingchuan because of his flattery. Before he took office, he toured the northern part of the county and killed many people along the way. , to enumerate the deeds of the officials and officials of the county in the north of the county, although they are subtle, they must be considered, spread and implicated, and they often ask for punishment. With such a vicious nature, I ask, although he is stealing Xuzhou and meddling in Yan, how can he be Deshiliu is convinced? Defeat is only a matter of time!

"Zhang Langjian said what he just said about the suppression of the Yellow Turbans, the destruction of the Yellow Turbans, the merit of Huangfu, Zhu, Lu's Dukes, the defeat of Dong Zhuo, the merit of the lord's call to the heroes, Xun Zhenzhi was just following it, because people succeeded, then Just got a little nickname.

"Even if he competes with Tao Qian, and Tao Gongzu is dark and obscure, he is close to the villain, and he has no military strategy, then he is not Xun Zhenzhi, and if it is another person, then Xuzhou, Tao Gongzu will not be able to keep it!

"All in all, Xun Zhenzhi, although his reputation is not small, he is a little bit of a man. If you look at him with pictures, it may be enough to be a police officer of ten miles, but it is not enough to kill the county! Fighting on the battlefield and winning the decisive victory in Qingzhou? Xun Zhenzhi is already a talent of ten miles, Xun Chengzi, who was in Yingyin in the past, has no reputation, let alone!

"Zhang Lang Jiang" is also Zhang He. Because Zhang He made a lot of contributions in the battle against Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao made him a general of the Ning Kingdom.

I have to say that Guo Tu is really good at speaking, and these things he said are not all rumors and troubles. On the contrary, they basically have basis.

Of course, it is one thing to have a basis. For the same thing, in the eyes of people with different knowledge, the conclusions may be different, or even completely different. Therefore, the judgment based on the basis is correct. No, that's another story.

Yuan Tan asked Xin Ping and said, "What is your opinion, sir?"

Xin Ping stroked his beard and said, "Whether Xun Zhenzhi is good at fighting, and whether Xun Cheng has made significant contributions, it is unnecessary to say. I just say that although Xun Zhenzhi has the reputation of being able to fight, how can he be like Gongsun Zan? Mouth and wealth, what can I expect?

"The lord has defeated Gongsun Zan twice, his prestige is far-reaching, the heroes from all over the world are no better than the shadows, and the heroes from far and near are all gathered here and there. , this fight, who is the enemy?

"Looking at Xun Zhenzhi in reverse, he was a ruthless soldier. He won Xu Wei for a long time. He immediately swallowed Jiujiang and made bad relations with Chen Wen, the prefect of Yangzhou. He then invaded Yanzhou blatantly and became an enemy of Cao Yanzhou. It’s almost at the end of the day! I don’t know how to repent, and now I want to compete with the lord and the envoy to Qingzhou again?

"I expect that the troops he can currently use will be stretched long ago, and Xuzhou's people will probably be exhausted. He sent Xun Cheng to rescue Tian Kai now, with 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 cavalry, and it would be good to have 5,000! Five thousand soldiers, why bother?

"The current plan is to make the ruler go to Cao Yanzhou, send tens of thousands of troops, go out of Enping County, go northeast along the Ji River, and encircle the city of Li~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to prevent Xun from forming an army.

"Tian Kai has run out of food, and there is no rescue outside. This is a lonely and poor bandit. Then he will send the monarch and his troops to attack Pingyuan County urgently. According to my estimation, there will be seven or eight days at most, and the length will be ten or so days. Then Pingyuan County will be captured. After Pingyuan County is captured, the emperor will send his troops eastward, join forces with Cao Yanzhou, and then destroy Xuncheng and Zhao Yun, and take Licheng in hand. With Pingyuan County, Qingzhou will be opened. The gate to the west, and then Licheng, will control the throat of Qingzhou. The envoy and all the counties in Qingzhou will all enter our territory, and it will be owned by the envoy!"

Xin Ping did not comment on Xun Zhen and Xun Cheng, but made an analysis of the current strength of the enemy and us, and then put forward suggestions for countermeasures on the basis of this analysis. His analysis and response opinions are very reasonable.

Yuan Tan listened to it, deeply agreed, and was persuaded, so he said, "Sir, this is a brilliant idea! Just follow the master's strategy!"

According to Xin Ping's suggestion, Xun Cheng's rescue of Tian Kai this time will probably be unsuccessful, and Licheng will most likely encounter a fierce battle, but these are already in Xun Zhen's expectations. , Xun Zhen has made preventive measures in advance.

Just the next day, another military report came, which made Xin Ping's discussion come to an end, and Yuan Tan had to stop it before it started to be officially implemented. This military report was precisely Chen Mai, the prefect of Qingzhou represented by Xun Zhen, who commanded soldiers from all counties in Qingzhou, totaling more than 10,000, and was about to arrive in Jinan County.
