The one from the Xun family needless to say, the two from the Guo family and the Xin family, one is the father of Guo Jia and the other is the younger brother of Xin Ai. , Xin Ping is also related to each other.

Guo and Xin were recommended by Yangzhai scholars, and they came to Yan County to find Sun Jian. The purpose of seeking Sun Jian was nothing but to urge him to send troops as soon as possible to relieve the danger of Yangzhai. The two of them went south from Yangzhai and went to Yingyin first, and invited a distant relative of Xun Zhen, the scholar of the Xun family who came with them.

Sun Jian welcomed the three into the county temple.

The scholar surnamed Guo said: "Lü Bu was tyrannical, and his troops were swept in all directions. Dingling was first slaughtered by him, and the scholars and people in Xiangcheng and Yingyang are also suffering from his soldiers now. The people of Dingling are now looking forward to the Ming Dynasty. Duke Ming is like looking at Yunni in a severe drought, but he doesn't know why Duke Ming has set up troops in Yan County, so he has been slow to move?"

This scholar surnamed Guo came from Yangzhai, representing the scholars and people of Yangzhai, but his speech was quite skillful. He didn't mention Yangzhai, only Dingling and other places.

Sun Jian thought to himself: "I look like a cloud, I'm afraid not only the people of Dingling, Xiangcheng, and Yingyang, right?" But he said, "I can't tell the truth, but I'm still a good friend." He said, "The elders of Yingchuan were deeply hurt by the troops, how could I not know? It's just that Dingling is not conducive to our army's advance, so I am stationed here to wait for the arrival of Lu Bu's troops."

The scholar surnamed Xin asked, "Why does Dingling not allow Duke Ming to fight?"

Sun Jian told the three scholars about the different topography of Dingling and Yanxian.

The three listened and looked at each other.

The scholar surnamed Guo said: "So it is. But Duke Ming, although the terrain of Yan County is favorable for Duke Ming, but if Lv Bu refuses to come to Yan County, what should we do? Is it possible that Duke Ming will sit and guard Yan County? County, watch my entire Yingchuan county fall into the hands of thieves?"

Sun Jian paid the most attention to the attitude of the scholar surnamed Xun. The words were addressed to the three people. Most of the time, his eyes were on the scholar surnamed Xun. There is a plan to make Lu Bu have to come to Yan County."

The scholar surnamed Xun has not spoken, and then asked, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, what is the plan?"

Sun Jian said: "Although Lü Bu went down and invaded Yingchuan, its foundation is still on the south bank of Rushui. I have ordered my son-in-law Hongzi, and my brave general Rui Zhi to lead troops and horses, and divide them into Zhaoling, Kunyang went to the letter of praise; at the same time, I also shared the letter and asked for the help of Li Tong and Duke Xun. The two of them also led Xuzhou soldiers from Ruyin to the southwest, and also marched to the letter of praise! The letter of praise, Lv Bu was there. The place where Runan was stationed, he himself and the wives, sons, and family members of his generals and officers received many letters of praise. The letter of praise was besieged by the joint troops of our army and the Xuzhou army. After hearing the news, Lu Bu would surely panic. At that time, it is not me and you who are anxious, but him! He will definitely lead his troops to Yanxian and take the initiative to fight against me. ... Before you enter the city, I wonder if you have seen the camp outside my city. ?"

——After Hongzi was defeated in Dingling, under the guidance of his advisor, he was lucky enough to escape with his life. The soldiers who followed him to Dingling were many of the aborigines in Yangzhai and other places, the children of famous families, and disciples As a result, all of them were killed in Dingling. First, he had no soldiers under his command. Even if he returned to Yangzhai, he could no longer defend Yingchuan. Second, he had no face to meet the tyrants and big names in Yangzhai and other places. Instead of turning back to Yang Zhai, he fled eastward to join Sun Jian. He ran all the way to Zhaoling, where he met Sun Jian. Sun Jian loved his daughter very much. He didn't blame him heavily because of his daughter's face and Hongzi's previous credit. Rui Zhi, Li Tong and Xun Min attacked Baoxin County.

Hearing the name "Hongzi", the two families of scholars surnamed Guo and Xin had their children and apprentices damaged in Dingling. Both their faces showed dissatisfaction, but now they are not complaining. At the time, the two didn't say anything.

The scholar surnamed Xun said, "When I entered the city, I didn't see Duke Ming's fortress outside the city, but I saw that the soldiers under Duke Ming were building their camp in full swing in the west of the city. I heard people's voices in the distance, and the scene was very strong."

Sun Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The one that Lv Bu is fighting is a strong cavalry, and the strong cavalry of the Liang County is already cramped in the west of Yan County, which is not conducive to cavalry galloping. After it is completed, it will definitely be even more detrimental to him! If you are not in a hurry to return home, please wait for you to stay in Yanxian for at most ten days and a half months, and watch me break Lv Bu!"

Xun and other three scholars pondered for a while.

In terms of clan, the Xun, Guo, and Xin families are almost the same, but Xun Zhen is now the general of Zhendong, not only the most powerful person among the three families, but also an ally with Sun Jian. A scholar surnamed Xun is the backbone of the three. After thinking about it for a long time, he said to the scholars with the surnames Guo and Xin, "How about we stay in Yan County for a while?"

The two scholars Guo and Xin were reluctant.

The two of them hoped that Sun Jian would be able to send troops now, but Sun Jian refused, and the reasons given sounded reasonable. By threatening letters of praise to mobilize Lu Bu's troops to attack Yan County, it seemed like a feasible plan. And the scholar surnamed Xun said this again, and the two of them had to hold back their reluctance and reluctantly agreed.

After leaving the county temple, accompanied by Cheng Pu personally, the three scholars went to the residence Sun Jian arranged for them.

The two scholars surnamed Guo and Xin took advantage of the time when the scholars surnamed Xun and Cheng Pu were talking, got together and whispered.

The scholar surnamed Xin said: "Sun Wentai, the son of a warrior soldier, if he had not been recommended and supported by the table in the east of the town, how could he have come to be the prefect of Yuzhou? Our prefecture is prosperous in humanities. , which is not a famous person at home? Sun Wentai, what kind of virtue and ability, can he hold this position? And since he served as the prefect of Yuzhou to the present, Wu Yingchuan scholars have been a great help to him. Taxes, expropriation of civilians, we have nothing to give. So, what do we hope for? It is not one thing, considering Zhendong's affection, and secondly, Sun Wentai is quite famous, and I hope he can protect me. Yuzhou, do you want to keep my county in Yingchuan safe? But Hongzi talked about military affairs on paper, and he talked about it before the war. If a war can destroy Lv Bu's appearance, he will bury all my Yangzhai children and send them to Dingling!

"Let's see for a moment. If Sun Wentai can't do as he said, he will destroy Lu Bu within half a month. In my opinion, we don't need to help him anymore!"

A scholar surnamed Guo agreed with Xin's criticism of Sun Jian and Hongzi, but doubted his conclusion, saying: "Qing Yan is very true, but there is no one in my prefecture that can stand up to Yuan Gonggong and Lu Bu. Scholar, even within half a month, Sun Wentai can’t get Lu Bu to settle, and I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do, so where can I rely on others?”

The scholar surnamed Xin lowered his voice and said, "Zhendong defeated Cao Mengde, and the lower part of Yanzhou occupies half of Yanzhou. Xu, Yan and our Yuzhou are both bordering, and the soldiers of Zhendong can easily enter our Yu territory! Sun Wentai! If we cannot destroy Lu Bu, my generation can welcome Zhendong into Henan!"

"Yingzhen East into Henan?"

"Since the great chaos of the Yellow Turbans, Zhendongnan is fighting in the north, and the battle is invincible. If there is Zhendong in my state, why should I be afraid of Yuan Gonggong, Lu Bu and the like? Besides, Zhendong is born with a crown surname, and I am a talent in Yingchuan. From my point of view, today's heroes, both civil and military, benevolent, righteous, and virtuous, only Zhendong is the only one who can achieve great things! Zhendong has entered Henan, and my generation can also climb the tail of the dragon because of it, thanks to everyone!"

When the scholar surnamed Xin said these words, his eyes lit up.

But it is not surprising that Xun Zhen is from Yingchuan, and he is a fellow of this person and a scholar surnamed Guo. Yu, as a fellow villager, and a clan of Xin Ai and Guo Jia, it is conceivable that this scholar with the surname of Xin and the scholar with the surname of Guo will definitely be able to be reused by Xun Zhen through these two layers of relationship.

In fact, the scholar surnamed Xin, the scholar surnamed Guo, and even the scholar surnamed Xun are not considered first-class talents in their respective families. Fang’s forces have gone, like Guo Jia, Guo Tu, Xin Ai, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, etc., they have become important backbones of different forces, but although they are not first-class talents, can’t second-class people have ideals, or Is it a dream? Therefore, this scholar surnamed Xin made the remarks just now.

When the scholar surnamed Guo heard him, he couldn't help himself, and his eyes also revealed the brilliance of longing.

After thinking about it, a scholar surnamed Guo said: "Although Zhendong has won half of Yanzhou Tai, but Cao Mengde and Zhang Mengzhuo are still not at peace, Zhendong may not have the spare capacity to enter Henan at present, this is one of them; Sun Wentai is friendly with Zhendong. , Sun Wentai's prefect of Yuzhou originates from Zhendong's watch, Zhendong emphasizes righteousness, there is Sun Wentai in Henan, and Zhendong is expected to be unwilling to enter Henan. I'm afraid it won't happen, so let's wait for it and see if Sun Wentai can exterminate Lü Bu, and then discuss it before it's too late."

The scholar surnamed Xin nodded and said, "Okay, let's follow your words!" After a pause, he glanced at the scholar surnamed Xun who was still talking with Cheng Pu, and said, "When you have time to spare, the two of us can go first. Tell this meaning to Xunjun. Xunjun is Zhendong's clan father, and he must have correspondence with Zhu Xun who is now in Xuzhou, so I can use his mouth to test Zhendong's mind!"

The scholar surnamed Guo agreed with the suggestion of the scholar surnamed Xin.

However, the Sun Jian clan has a low reputation and is regarded as a warrior by the scholars. A large number of scholars represented by the two scholars surnamed and Guo surnamed came up with the idea of ​​"expelling Sun Jian and replacing Xunzhen to rule Yuzhou". ——In the end, whether it be the scholars in Yingchuan, the scholars in Yanzhou, or other scholars in the prefectures and more than 100 counties in China, there are of course those who worry about the country and the people, such as Xun Yu, but most of them, Even the vast majority, in this chaotic world, attach the most importance to the interests of their respective families.

Speaking of which, I can't help but mention Chen Gong.

Chen Gong is different from Xun Yu in that he does not "worry about the country", but he is also different from the scholars surnamed Xin and Guo. What he values ​​first is not his own interests or the interests of his own family. He is from Dongjun, and Cao Cao is The prefect of Dongjun, if he only cares about his own interests and the interests of his own clan, he does not have to betray Cao Cao at all. What he cares about is the interests of the entire Yanzhou gentry. In other words, his political demands and goals are roughly in Xun Yu's place. Between the two scholars with the surnames Xin and Guo, it is lower than Xun Yu, but higher than the two scholars with the surnames Xin and Guo.

Sun Jian comforted the three visiting scholars. Although on the surface, he seemed to be calm and confident, but from the words of the three scholars, he deeply felt the "dissatisfaction" of the scholars in Yingchuan towards him. The literati class is the backbone of the current politics and society at all levels. Without the support of the literati, even if it succeeds for a while, it will only end in defeat, because in fact, Sun Jian is very anxious in his heart.

He kept in touch with Hongzi, Ruizhi, and Li Tong in letters and military newspapers. While keeping abreast of the details of their march to Baoxin County, Sun Jian sent scouts to Dingling one after another to pay close attention to the movements of Lv Bu's main force.

... micro book

Dingling County.

Lu Bu received the military intelligence report sent by the garrison who stayed behind and sent a rush.

Before sending troops to Yingchuan, Lu Bu had already considered that Sun Jian might take the opportunity to sneak attack on Baoxin, so there were a lot of troops and horses left in Baoxin and other places, and they were heavily guarded. At the beginning of receiving the military report commending the garrison, Lv Bu did not take it too seriously. He believed that with his preparations and deployments, even if Hongzi, Rui Zhi and Li Tong attacked from three directions, the commendation should There would be no problem. At the beginning, the situation was indeed as he expected, but soon after, the situation suddenly changed.

Change does not come in testimonials.

Ruizhi, Li Tong, and Hongzi soldiers and horses arrived in the northern part of Baoxin County one after another. The letter of commendation was located on the south side of the Sushui River. With the help of the obstruction of the river and the defensive strongholds on both sides of the river, Rui Zhi and other troops were not able to forcefully cross it. At least in the short term, the letter of commendation was safe enough.

Changes appeared in Lu Bu's army.

I don't know when or who started, a rumor appeared in Lu Bu's army. When Lu Bu found out and knew about it, the rumor had spread throughout his entire army. Rumors say: Li Tong and other ministries crossed southward and are now surrounded by the letter of praise.

I think that the wives and family members of the lieutenant generals of Lu Bu's army are mostly praised.

Lu Bu was furious and could not contain his anger. He ordered Gao Shun and others to strictly investigate the source of the rumors, but they could not find the source at all.

Zhang Liao said to Lv Bu, "Duke Ming, isn't this Sun Jian's trick?"

Lu Bu pondered for a while, maybe that was the case, and scolded: "Sun Jian's husband, spread rumors and disturb our army!"

Zhang Liao looked deeply worried and said, "Ming Gong, this rumor has now spread throughout the army. Of course we won't believe it, but the military officers and soldiers below believe it. There will be big trouble!"

Zhang Liao and others, as high-level officials in the military, have ample sources of information, and will definitely not believe such rumors, but the middle and low-level military officers and soldiers at the bottom, who lack sources of information, will inevitably lack judgment on rumors. As for Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, etc., it is impossible for everyone to explain it to them. What's more, even if they are willing to work hard, those military officials and soldiers may not believe them. Therefore, as Zhang Liao said, If you don't solve it quickly, it will indeed become a big problem.

Lü Bu was deeply troubled and asked Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, what can you do to dispel this rumor?"

Zhang Liao thought about it, but there was no good solution.

Lü Bu asked Gao Shun again, and said, "Zixiang, what's your plan?"

Gao Shun said: "If you want to stop the rumors, you must punish them with severe punishment. You can kill a few people who spread the rumors the most to be an example!"

Rumors have always been taboo in the military. According to military law, those who spread rumors must be beheaded. Gao Shun's suggestion cannot be wrong, but now that the rumors have spread, it is obvious that killing a few people and cutting off a few heads can eliminate them.

However, there was no other way, and Lu Bu could only follow Gao Shun's suggestion. He executed the same day, killed more than ten rumor-mongers on the field of the lieutenant colonel, and hung their heads at the gate, as Gao Shun said. Said, hoping to be able to use this "to set an example". However, when people are killed, their heads are hung up, and those who are "effective" are not "warned". In the days that followed, the rumors spread even more.

The act of killing the dozen or so military officials and soldiers who spread rumors, and in the new rumors, seems to have become the evidence that "the compliment was besieged." If it weren't for the truth, why would Lu Bu kill people? Killing can only be done to cover up the truth.

Later, when the rumor spread, when Lu Bu went to patrol the camp, he felt that the soldiers looked at him, and it seemed that the taste had changed.

That afternoon, Lü Bu summoned Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals.

After Zhang Liao and Gao Shun arrived, Lu Bu said, "We can't go on like this!"

Zhang Liao said, "What does Duke Ming mean by this?"

"If the rumors are banned, if they are allowed to spread, I'm afraid that in a few days, chaos will happen in the army!"

Zhang Liao agreed with Lu Bu's judgment. He asked, "How does Duke Ming plan to deal with it? But there is a good plan?"

"We can't wait for Sun Jian to come to Dingling. We will send troops to Yan County tomorrow!"

Zhang Liao frowned and said, "But according to Duke Ming's previous analysis, the terrain in Yan County is not conducive to our army's advance! And I heard that Sun Wentai was in Yan recently, overhauling barriers and digging trenches. If our army goes to Yan County to fight him decisively, Victory is unpredictable!"

"If our army does not move in Dingling, sooner or later chaos will break out. Instead, we can only choose Yan and die with old thief Sun Jian!"

"Please Ming Gong think twice!"

Originally, after Wei Yue died in the battle, in the name of revenge for Wei Yue, the morale of the whole army was quite boosted, but unexpectedly a rumor messed up the army's morale. Think again? Do you have any other strategies to deal with this situation?"

Zhang Liao was dumbfounded, and after a while he said, "There's nothing to do at the end."

Gao Shun has been thinking about ways to deal with the rumors that are spreading all over the past few days. At this time, he said: "The rumors in Fang Jin's camp are getting more and more fierce day by day. There are only two ways to deal with it."

Lu Bu asked, "Which two methods?"

"Abandoning Yingchuan, withdrawing the troops and returning the praise, so the rumors will die if they are not attacked. This is a way."

Lü Bu said categorically: "When I was commending the letter~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I invited Sun to fight resolutely, but he avoided fighting, but now his main force is in Yan, I will destroy him in one fell swoop, and then attack Runan and Ying. Chuan, a rare opportunity to occupy Yuzhou, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw at this time!"

Gao Shun said: "If this strategy is impossible, then the other way is what Duke Ming just said, to enter Yan County immediately!"

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "Zixiang, it's rare that you have the same strategy as me!"

Gao Shun's face was solemn and he said, "It's just Duke Ming. Rumors are spreading in our army now, and the army's heart is uncertain. It's like going to Yan County to fight against Sun Jianjian, but as General Zhang said, the outcome is unpredictable!"

Lü Bu is known as a flying general, and he is confident in his own combat power. He is also very trustworthy in the combat power of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, etc. Jing, it is impossible to break it!"

This is settled, and tomorrow he will go out to the army and send troops to Yanxian.
