The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao simply relayed the content of Chen Gong's letter and listened to the crowd, saying: "A letter from the public platform, asking me to join forces with Meng Zhuo to counter-attack Jiyin. He said in the letter 'three victories', and Xuzhou soldiers fought for a long time. Exhausted, and now they are divided into Jiyin, Shanyang, Rencheng, Dongping, Jibei and other counties. Compared with when they fought with our army a month ago, their forces have been dispersed, but on the contrary, our army's strength can be Concentrating on one place, you can use the many to attack the few. This is one of my wins. He communicated with Lv Bu some time ago, and Lv Bu was willing to attack Runan together with Meng Zhuo's other troops. In this way, when our army counterattacked Jiyin , Sun Jian's Yuzhou soldiers would not be able to support Xuzhou soldiers, which is equivalent to cutting off the Xuzhou soldiers' Yuzhou foreign aid. This is my second victory; the prefecture Wanqian, because Gao Su killed Zhang Chang, Liu Fu killed Li Cao, and Xu Zhuo and others violated the right surname in various counties.

"What's your opinion on this, Duke Cheng and Qing? Please speak freely!"

Bi Chen and Wan Qian used to be the chief officials of the prefecture. The two were colleagues, and their words were speculative, and their friendship was not bad. Hearing that Wan Qian was in any case, he was very happy, and he stroked his beard and said, "I knew that Wan Jun was attached to him. Xuzhou, it was a last resort! As expected, now, regardless of the danger of being in the enemy camp, he resolutely decided to respond to Duke Ming and come back again.... Duke Ming, it shows that the people of Yanshi have their backs! The news, the truth of Shanyang and Jiyin, Ming Gong can know all about it!"

What Cao Cao said was that Wan Qian was willing to be Chen Gong's inner responder. How could Bi Chen not know that Chen Gong abandoned Cao Cao and joined Zhang Miao, which really had a negative impact on Cao Cao? So when it came to his mouth, it was Wan Qian who "resolutely decided to be Cao Cao's inner responder".

Cao Cao said, "Zili, are you in favor of joining forces with our army and Meng Zhuo to attack Jiyin together?"

Bi Chen pondered and said: "Ming Gong, listen to what you said just now, the 'three wins' mentioned in the letter from the public platform seems to be quite reasonable, but Chen does not know whether to agree to the public platform, join forces with Chen Liu, or ask Cheng Gong and Boning tell us their views."

Cao Cao asked Cheng Li and Man Chong, and said, "Engong Cheng, Boning, what do you think?"

Cheng Li said: "Ming Gong, the current situation is better than that."

"How?"

"The arrow is on the string and has to be sent."

Cao Cao knew what Cheng Li meant and asked, "How do you say this?"

Cheng Li said: "The Gongtai letter said that if we fight Jiyin, there will be three wins; if we don't fight Jiyin, then Duke Ming, for my Dongjun, and for Duke Ming, will have two disadvantages. ."

Cao Cao said: "I know the two drawbacks mentioned by the public. One is that the East County is not enough to support troops, but it can be supported for a while. If the troops and horses are long, they will be scattered. They can no longer be strictly demanded, and they will be like bandit soldiers! Not only will they disrupt the local area, but when they are used in battle, they will have no fighting strength. The soldiers are unusable, this is a disadvantage.

"Xun You, Li Zan, Liu Fu, Xun Yue, Xu Zhuo, and others are not mediocre talents, they may be tricked by power, they may be able to govern, or they may be knowledgeable and have a clear vision. In a year or two, or a year as short as one year, they may really be able to capture them. Liu Fu was appointed to Jiyin County, that is, he eliminated the bandits in Dayezawa, and the people in the surrounding counties and townships were no longer plundered by bandits. Suffering, I heard that his fame suddenly rang out in Jiyin! Xu Zhuo in Jibei, although he infringed on the wealthy family with the right surname, but he divided the fields between the disciples and the thieves, but he was also quite popular among the common people. Their mouths are praised. The people do not have me, these two evils are also.

"Mr. Cheng, am I right?"

There are many Yanzhou people under Cao Cao's account. Except for Cheng Li, who is from Dongjun, Bi Chen is from Dongping, Man Chong is from Shanyang, and there are others from Jibei, Rencheng and other counties. For example Lu Dai was a native of Renchengguo. Although they followed Cao Cao to Dongjun, they had always had correspondence with their relatives and friends who stayed there. Therefore, although Cao Cao was now in Dongjun, he was not interested in Yanzhou. The current situation in other counties is still fairly well understood.

To tell the truth, Liu Fu, Xu Zhuo and others' strategy of governing the situation is to exterminate large groups of thieves who gather into groups and attract small groups of thieves that are volatile. Hundreds of thousands of works and local tyrants with a certain military strength, helping the common people, developing the economy, and enriching the people's strength, etc. These measures have won Cao Cao's heart. will do so.

It is precisely because he has won his heart that he will have a deep worry like "the people do not possess me" over time.

The two evils Cheng Li wanted to say were exactly these two points. Cao Cao said what he wanted to say, so he nodded and said, "Ming Gong is right, the two evils I'm worried about are exactly these two."

Although Man Chong is young, twenty or thirty years younger than Cheng Li, and a lot younger than Bi Chen, he has a firm personality, is strategic, assertive, and dares to make decisions. Two elders older than him have already expressed their opinions, and he can speak now. He knelt down on the seat, straightened his body, and said, "Duke Ming, there are three victories in battle, and two disadvantages if you don't fight. With the stupid opinion of favor, you can join forces with Chen Liu to counterattack Jiyin!"

In a short sentence, he showed his decisive and decisive temperament to the extreme.

Cao Cao stood up from the seat and paced into the hall. He turned around a few times, turned his back to the door, put his hands behind his back, and raised his head. Chong He Ding Fei and Shi Huan said, "The official letter says that there are three victories. I see, now that we are counterattacking Jiyin, our army has more than three victories!"

Bi Chen asked, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, who else wins?"

Cao Cao stretched out three fingers and said with a smile, "It's not that there are still other victories, it's that there are still three victories."

Bi Chen was surprised and asked, "There are still three wins?"

"Isn't it!"

"Dare to ask Ming to announce, which three wins are there?"

Cao Cao stretched out his little thumb and said: "Zhenzhi established Lihu County, with Pan Zhang from Dong County as the county governor. Zhenzhi's intentions are very clear. People, come to put pressure on me, but Pan Zhang is a sturdy, cunning man who can rule the army. I heard that he has a lot of military discipline, but he prides himself on being brave, but he is very contemptuous of me. I heard that he was there. The day before yesterday, I made a hand of a hundred refining knives, inscribed 'Puyang', and promised to capture me. A arrogant soldier will be defeated, and an underestimated enemy will be overthrown. How is it that I am both arrogant and light? If I counterattack to help Yin, Lihu will not be difficult to overcome! This is one of my wins."

Pan Zhang's captain's name is "Xian Deng". Since he followed Xun Zhen, he has fought a lot of tough battles. In the entire Xuzhou army, he is known for his bravery, and there are not many Xuzhou generals who can be compared with him. .

However, the battle of Xuzhou to attack Yanzhou a month ago was a smashing success, with a streak of consecutive victories. It was only blocked by strong cities like Kangfu and Shouzhang for a while. The rest of the time, there were hardly any major obstacles and obstacles. The setback, in the eyes of many Xuzhou generals and soldiers, Yanzhou soldiers and Cao Cao are really easy to fight, and even some generals and old soldiers think that this battle in Yanzhou is not as good as Tao Qian and Xuzhou before. The battle was tough.

Combining the two reasons, it is no wonder that Pan Zhang is full of confidence.

Bi Chen said, "Pan Zhang is brave and ruthless. This is indeed one of our army's victories. Dare to ask Duke Ming, what are the two victories?"

Cao Cao stretched out his ring finger and said, "I asked Li Gao and his two younger brothers to send a letter. I already got Li Cao and Li Jin's willingness to be our army's inner responder. Now that Li Cao is killed by Liu Fu, this will inevitably happen. It strengthened Li Jin's will to vote for me even more! Li's family name is Cheng's Hao, and he has thousands of troops. If you add apprentices and villagers, you can get three or four thousand people. Li Jin is in Jiyin, and our army can know the real situation of Jiyin County from him. This is my second victory!"

Bi Chen and Man Chong looked at each other. They both didn't know that Cao Cao ordered Li Gao to call Li Cao and Li Jin as inner responders.

Man Chong praised: "Duke Ming has a long-term plan, and it turns out that he has already buried a nail in Jiyin County! Cheng's county, along the southwest of Jishui, is less than a hundred miles from Jiyin's county seat Dingtao; out to the southeast, Sixty or seventy miles away is the state capital of Yanzhou and Changyi, the county seat of Shanyang. This place is indeed the confidant of Jiyin and Shanyang counties! Brothers Li Cao and Li Jin are known for their bravery. Although Li Cao is dead today However, his younger brother Li Jin's ingenuity is superior to Li Cao, and if he responds to Duke Ming in the Cheng clan, Jiyin will surely recover!"

He thought about it for a moment, volunteered, and said, "Pamper it, please make the icing on the cake for Duke Ming!"

Cao Cao asked, "How to add the icing on the cake?"

Man Chong said: "My county tycoon Li Shuo and others have always been on good terms with Chong, and I would like to write to them for Duke Ming and see if we can recruit them for Duke Ming! When Zhang Fujun attacked Jiyin to the west and Jiyin to the south, and when Li Jin responded to the Cheng clan, if Li Shuo and others started to attack Shanyang again, then Duke Ming would counterattack Jiyin this time, wouldn’t it? It's more secure to win!"

When Man Chong was 18 years old, he was in the county seat of Shanyang County and took up the post of the post supervisor. At that time, there were Li Shuo and other tycoons in the county who had their own stories and copied the common people. Man Chong was ordered to picket them and rely on him. The prestige of the family and his personal ability, Li Shuo and others all pleaded guilty, and since then, there will be no more acts of plundering people. Man Chong is similar to Cao Cao, and also has a light chivalrous side. He can talk to each other with such powerful chivalrous men as Li Shuo, and the relationship between them is not bad. If he wrote letters to Li Shuo and others, he would not dare to say that all of these people would respond to Cao Cao, but under the premise that their own interests were damaged by Xun You, Le Jin, etc., maybe a few would really jump out and start a rebellion.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "If this is done, I will remember the first merit!"

Bi Chen asked, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, why are the three wins?"

Cao Cao stretched out his middle finger, lined up in front of his little finger and ring finger, raised it high, and said, "Those who can be our enemy in Xuzhou are only the ears of Zhen! Zhenzhi has now returned to Xuzhou, and the chief generals of Xuzhou who are staying in Yanzhou are Xun You, Le Jin, Gong Da and solid wisdom, Wen Qian and solid courage are not my enemies! These are three victories!"

Although he was a defeated general, Cao Cao's words were full of confidence. Not only was he full of confidence, but his tone, expression, and manners made Man Chong, Bi Chen, Shi Huan, and Ding Fei completely believe what he said. . This is probably the charm of personality!

Cheng Li said: "Ming Gong's words are very true! In addition to the three victories of Gongtai~www.wuxiaspot.com~ our army has six victories in hand, if we counterattack Jiyin, we will definitely win!" After a pause, he continued, "However, Duke Ming, Zhang Mengzhuo has always regarded himself very highly and thought he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Duke Ming. Now he and his troops are counterattacking Jiyin. Although winning is not difficult, but after conquering Jiyin, in order to suppress Zhang Mengzhuo, he has a shallow view, right? Can you take advantage of Gongsun Bogui's defeat and return to Youzhou, Yuan Benchu ​​already has the opportunity to help me in Yanzhou, and then ask Yuan Benchu ​​for some reinforcements?"

Cao Cao said to himself: "In the beginning, the army's armor and equipment are excellent, far from being comparable to our department. It is not only to ensure the master-slave relationship with Meng Zhuo, but also to continue to use troops in Shanyang, Rencheng and other counties after Jiyin is established. For the sake of consideration, of course it is necessary to ask Ben Chu to borrow some soldiers and horses." He withdrew his three fingers, nodded and said, "It's very public!"

Yuan Tancai returned from Pingyuan County without success because of Xun Cheng and Chen Mai. Yuan Shao strongly supported Cao Cao's plan to counterattack Jiyin and Yanzhou Yu County. When the letter arrived in Jizhou, Yuan Shao immediately dispatched Gao Lan and Zhang Nan, leading 5,000 soldiers and cavalry, to help Cao Cao.

However, it is said that when Gao Lan and Zhang Nan led the troops to Dongjun, in Dongpingling County, the capital of Jinan, Qingzhou, within the prefecture, Chen Mai, who was newly appointed as the prefect of Qingzhou and the prime minister of Qi in response to Xun Zhen's request, was in the county seat. Not long after I received two letters from Xun Cheng, I received another letter from Xun Cheng today. Chen Mai was just reading the book, and he was furious. He threw him to the ground and said angrily, "Xun Zhongren's bullying is too much!"
