The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The capture of Henan Yin is not only a military issue in the early stage of "can you capture Henan Yin?", it also has a later military issue of "can you defend Henan Yin", and it is also related to political issues in the later period.

In short, there are two main military issues in the early stage of "can we defeat Henan Yin?"

Henan Yin is separated from Xuzhou by Yuzhou. Although Sun Ce of Yuzhou is now a hard-core ally of Xun Zhen, after all, Yuzhou has not yet been directly controlled by Xun Zhen, so if he goes to Henan Yin, he will definitely not be able to attack Yanzhou, Just like Qingzhou, using troops to advance and retreat is like using arms and fingers. If there is any sudden emergency military situation, it can also be dealt with in a timely manner. Maybe there will be various situations such as being out of reach, slow response, and even logistical problems. . one of the military problems.

Another is that as mentioned above, Henan Yinbei is Yuan Shao, south is Yuan Shu, and west is the Liangzhou army led by Li Jue and Guo Si. These three forces are very powerful except Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shao and Liangzhou army are attracted Can the blocking of the two sides win this battle?

These are the two main military issues of "can we take down Henan Yin?"

"Can you keep Henan Yin?" means: You know, if Henan Yin is really taken by Xun Zhen, it means that Xun Zhen's influence will expand to the south of Jizhou, that is, the home south of Yuan Shao's site. The entrance will be approaching Guanzhong. First of all, Yuan Shao will definitely not tolerate it. Second, the Liangzhou army led by Li Jue and Guo Si will inevitably be shaken. The first-class feudal lords in the sea that cannot be underestimated, Yuan Shao's group and Liangzhou army, nine times out of ten, sooner or later -- even Yuan Shao will, Li Jue and Guo Si will ignore Ma Teng's restraint before the battle with Gongsun Zan. , and then launched a large-scale attack, and Xun Zhen competed for Henan Yin.

So, is Xun Zhen confident of defeating the Liangzhou Army, and is he able to block Yuan Shao's group on the north bank of the Yellow River?

In addition to this later military issue, there is a more critical, later political issue.

That is, why did Xun Zhen fight Henan Yin? It is to give him the next step, to say that the emperor is still in Luoyang or other places where the capital is rebuilt. To put it bluntly, it is to lay the groundwork for the emperor to control the emperor, then according to the best estimate, Xun Zhen The emperor was successfully controlled, but what happened after that? After taking the emperor's control into his hands, is Xun Zhen sure he can guarantee his authority in the court?

Just as in the original history, Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes. Controlling the emperor in his hands is not only beneficial, but also has disadvantages. Today, Zi Xian is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, which is indeed nothing to worry about, but "Welcome to the Emperor", it is not only the emperor who welcomes him, but also those who are following the emperor in the Chang'an court. Some of these ministers in the Han Dynasty were more prestigious than the rest of the world, and some had outstanding abilities. Can Xun Zhen be sure to hold down these people?

—— Having said that, I might as well say one more thing. Maybe Xun Yu and others have not considered this issue yet, but Xun Zhen has to think about it.

Issues in the early and late stages of military affairs need to be carefully considered; political issues need to be reconsidered even more.

Now Li Jue and Guo Si are under Ma Teng's restraint, Yuan Shao will fight with Gongsun Zan again, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao will also fight again, the early military troubles of capturing Henan Yin have been largely resolved, "capture Henan Yin" The military factors in the early stage can be said to be relatively mature now, but Xunzhen cannot but be cautious about the military issues and political issues in the later stage.

It is also for this reason that when Xun Yu said that it was time to completely attack Yinzhi in Henan, Xun Zhen did not make a decision immediately, but after repeated consideration, did he finally decide tonight. made up my mind.

That night, Xun Zhen, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai went straight to the next morning, when the fish belly turned white in the east, and the deep conversation was over.

The three people reached an agreement, and Xi Zhicai also supported the action against Henan Yin now.

And the three discussed a plan on how to capture Henan Yin in terms of specific use of troops and strategies.

After leaving Xun Yu's house, the fresh air in the morning was blowing on my face. There were a few households in the house where roosters were crowing, and the sound of people on the street was gradually getting lively. On a layer of golden glow.

"What a pleasant autumn dynasty!" Xun Zhen said, stretching her waist.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who had been waiting for most of the night, did not look tired and were both in good spirits.

Dian Wei carried the heavy halberd, and said in a loud voice, "Autumn grass and horse fat, Duke Ming, I haven't been hunting for a long time. Why don't I take advantage of the good weather today and wait until I accompany Duke Ming out of the city to hunt?"

"Walking horses and shooting pheasants, how can you show your heroic feelings? Autumn is high and airy, Awei, it's time to fight for the deer!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu didn't understand what Xun Zhen meant, and Xun Zhen didn't explain it either. Seeing that the two of them were confused, they just smiled.

Most of the people who lived in the phoenix tree were high-ranking officials of civil and military affairs under Xun Zhen's tent. Some of them got up early to go out and ran into Xun Zhen. Xun Zhen waved her sleeves and told them to do their own work, got into the car, and returned her life to the prefecture.

...

In the next few days, Xun Zhen successively summoned Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun and other senior officials in the prefecture, reached a consensus with them on this issue, and unified the internal voice.

Afterwards, he wrote secret letters to Xuncheng of Qingzhou, Xunyou of Yanzhou, Xunchen of Jiujiang, etc., Xunzhen personally sent the officials and sent them to them. In the letter, Xunzhen told them about his decision to take Henan Yin, and told them The military operation to capture Henan Yin will be launched within a month at the latest, and they are ordered to appease the territory before Xu Rong captures Henan Yin, and absolutely not allow any military or political aspects to appear in their respective jurisdictions.

My dear, this chapter is not over, and there is another page about ^0^; and specially ordered Xun You and Le Jin to increase their troops to station in Dongjun and Chenliujun, firstly to observe Yuan Shao’s movements, and secondly to put pressure on Yuan Shao , can also be regarded as the military action to take Henan Yin.

Then, Xun Zhen wrote a letter and sent it to Xu Rong and Liu Bei, ordering them to start preparations for the capture of Yin in Henan, and strictly ordered that the battle must be started before the end of the month; and sent a letter to Sun Ce, telling him that he should be able to do it before the end of the tenth. Tian Tian sent troops to Yingchuan to help Xu Rong.

Finally, Xun Zhen ordered the generals in Xuzhou to make preparations for dispatching troops. The preparations for dispatching troops were mainly for the prevention of emergencies and for backup in times of need.

...

Following Xun Zhen's order to go to Yingchuan, there was also Cheng Jia, who had just sent Zhang Feiyan as an envoy.

Cheng Jia will play a very important role in the strategy negotiated by Xun Zhen, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu to capture Yin in Henan.

At Yingchuan, Cheng Jia met with Liu Bei, Xu Rong and Han Ji.

After Liu Bei, Xu Rong, Han Ji and others read Xun Zhen's order, Cheng Jia and Xu Rong said, "Ming Gong asked me to ask the general, if the army should be deployed before the end of the month at the latest, is it possible for the general to do it?"

Xu Rong waited for so long in Yingchuan, and finally got Xun Zhen's order. When it was time to start the fight, he was in high spirits and replied loudly, "We will be able to send troops before the end of the month!"

Cheng Jia said: "Ming Gong has another question, so I ask the general, will this take Henan Yin, will the general be successful?"

During these days when the Tun Army was in Yingchuan, Xu Rong never wasted time. While he sent scouts to inquire about the situation of various forces around Henan Yin, he also made in-depth deductions and plans on how to win Henan Yin.

At this time, there were no outsiders in the hall, so he replied to Cheng Jia, saying: "Since the emperor moved westward, Luoyang has been in ruins, and there are only ten people. The scouts I sent to Henan Yin often walk alone for several miles, no people, only bushes. There are many clusters, foxes and rabbits are infested, and the roads are full of bones. Since there are few people, there are not many soldiers and horses stationed in Yin Henan, and Yin Luo in Henan is also a scholar, not a general, and cities such as Luoyang are being burned by Dong Zhuo. Later, although it has been slightly repaired in recent years, it is not as strong as it used to be. It is not difficult to take Henan Yin, just in terms of the situation within its borders; Ji, Duan Xun, Yang Ding and others."

Yuan Shao, Li Jue, and Guo Si are the leaders of Yuan Shao Group and Liangzhou Corps. Zhang Yang, Zhang Ji, Duan Xun, Yang Ding, etc. are the two major forces whose territory is directly bordering Henan Yin or the army station is adjacent to Henan Yin. The specific will be school.

In other words, if Yuan Shao, Li Jue and Guo Si stop Xu Rong from taking Henan Yin in the future, Zhang Yang, Zhang Ji and other generals will be the ones who will act directly. Yuan Shao, Li Jue and Guo Si are the leaders of the two major forces. won't be the first to go.

Cheng Jia nodded and said, "Zhendong is also concerned about this, so dare to ask the general, since these have been considered, is there a solution?"

Xu Rong said: "After I led my troops to Yingchuan, I followed Zhendong's instructions and wrote letters to Zhang Ji, Duan Xun, Yang Ding, etc., and told them about old feelings. Zhang Ji and others also wrote back to me. Although so far, the letters have not mentioned the use of troops in Henan Yinshi, but when the troops are officially launched in the coming day, I will send them a book again, hoping to persuade them and not obstruct them."

Cheng Jia asked, "Where is Hanoi Zhang Yang?"

Xu Rong was slightly troubled and said, "I'm not familiar with Zhang Yang, because I haven't written to him, so there is no contact between the two."

Cheng Jia pointed to himself and said with a smile, "I am under the order of Zhendong, and this is the reason why I came to help in the battle."

Xu Rong asked, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Jia said: "Zhendong ordered me to be a lobbyist for the general, go to Hanoi, and persuade Zhang Yang to keep his troops on hold when the general uses Henan Yin."

Xu Rong was delighted when he heard the words, and said, "If you can persuade Zhang Yang, then I will gain three more points in the confidence of Duke Ming of Henan Yin."

Liu Bei was a little worried, and interjected: "Cheng Jun, Zhang Mengzhuo is currently a guest at Zhang Yang's seat in Hanoi. If Cheng Jun goes to talk about Zhang Yang as a sidekick, I'm afraid that Zhang Meng Zhuo will make trouble."

Cheng Jia didn't say much, just smiled: "Xuande doesn't have to worry, I have my own countermeasures."

Xu Rong said happily: "If this matter is successful, Cheng Jun, I will capture Henan Yin in the future, and you will have a great contribution in it."

Cheng Jia touched the goatee and smiled without saying a word.

After talking for a while, Xu Rong left and went back to the camp to convey the order that Xun Zhen ordered them to prepare to attack Henan Yin; Han Ji also left and went to recruit civilians, check grain and other logistics. preparation.

With no one else in the hall, Cheng Jia took out another letter from his arms, handed it to Liu Bei, and said, "Xuande, this is a letter from Zhendong to you."

Liu Bei received the letter and opened it.

Xun Zhen's letter was a reply to Liu Bei's letter of being a lobbyist for Gongsun Zan.

Xun Zhen wrote in the letter: I don't want to make an alliance with Gongsun Bogui, but Bogui is tyrannical and ignorant, and he is doing the opposite. . The reason for this, I don't need to say more, you will be able to understand. The priority now is to take down Henan Yin as soon as possible while Yuan Benchu, Li Guo, the thieves, and Yuan Gonggong have no time to watch. When Bo Fu's troops arrived, when our army attacked Henan Yin, the heavy logistical task was entrusted to Qing.

After reading Xun Zhen's letter, Liu Bei didn't say much. He personally arranged a place for Cheng Jia, and then set up a banquet in the evening to entertain Cheng Jia, to catch the wind and dust for him. Xu Rong, Han Ji, etc. also came back to the mansion to participate in the company.

The next day, Liu Bei personally came to the guest house where his classmate lived and told him what Xun Zhen meant.

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^

His classmate was extremely disappointed, but there was nothing he could do, so he bid farewell.

The downfall of Gongsun Zan was only a matter of time, and a wise man could see it at a glance.

Liu Bei and his classmate had the friendship of the former classmates. He couldn't bear to see him go back and accompany Gongsun Zan to fail together, and he might even die because of it. Why don't you stay in Yingchuan during the war? My brother Zhendong is thirsty for talents. If I recommend you to him, Zhendong will definitely be of great use to you."

Of course, his classmate also knew that the situation Gongsun Zan was facing was very bad, but he refused to stay in Yingchuan, and said calmly, "Although Bo Gui and you and I were classmates in the past, they are now my masters. It's difficult, what can you say about being a minister? Xuande. I appreciate your kindness."

On the afternoon of the same day, Liu Bei's classmate bid farewell to Liu Bei and set foot on the road back to Youzhou.

Liu Bei sent him out of the city and watched his disappearing figure until he could no longer see him, and then he reined in his horse and returned.

Thinking back to the time when they were studying under Lu Zhi’s family in the mountains, the students were very happy, drinking fine wine, wearing beautiful clothes, listening to good music, raising dogs and riding horses. The age of Liu Bei, a classmate who was still gone, is similar to Liu Bei's age; in a blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed, and they were almost all thrown into this situation that they never thought of when they were in school." It came suddenly and continues to this day." During the great turmoil, after the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans, after the feudal feudal lords, and now the division of the heroes, not only are the students no longer teenagers, but also in this long and troubled war. In the past twenty years, each has had different experiences.

After we say goodbye today, I don't know if there will be a goodbye with this classmate in the future, and I don't know if there will be a reunion with Gongsun Zan.

But time flies, everything is changing, the situation has changed, people have changed, and mentality has also changed.

However, this classmate love, Liu Bei, who is thirty-five years old, is in a trance at this moment, and if he has an illusion, he feels that it has not changed.

On the way back, Liu Beishu still cared about it, and he had long since seen his classmate's car and rider, only deserted dust and mixed flavors for a while.

"Twenty years have passed! The world has undergone great changes, Master Lu has passed away, Bo Gui will be defeated, the Han Dynasty is declining, and I Liu Bei have traveled north and south, but up to now, not only have I achieved nothing, Yi De and others are also far away from me! Huh! Ouch! You are incompetent to prepare, and you will end up in old age?"

Instead of returning to the city, Liu Bei went to Xu Rong's camp.

Xu Rong was doing various preparations for the battle and was very busy, but when he heard that Liu Bei came to see him, he put down the work at hand and asked him to enter the account.

Knowing that he was busy, Liu Bei did not detour and said straight to the point: "Yesterday I heard the general's words that he wants to use troops before Henan Yinqian~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then go to the generals Zhang Ji, Duan Xun, and Yang Ding, in order to hope for them. He can do nothing to obstruct the general's progress in Henan Yin; the so-called 'each is his master', I am prepared to secretly think that the general's wish will not be easy to achieve."

Xu Rong heard Liu Bei's meaning from Liu Bei's words, asked him, and said, "Dare to ask Xuande, must he be able to teach me?"

Liu Bei said: "Bei is stupid, how dare he teach the general. But Beibei does have a bad opinion, and I would like to dedicate it to the general."

Xu Rong asked, "He Liangce, please tell me."

Liu Bei expressed his advice to Xu Rong.

After Xu Rong heard it, he was overjoyed and said: "Your decision is indeed a good strategy. If it works, I will take down Henan for Zhendong in the future, and I will definitely report your merit to Duke Ming!"

A broad smile appeared on Liu Bei's face, and he said, "According to my brother's military order, I will transfer food and grain for the general, and also provide Nanyang Yuan Road. This is the responsibility of Bei, taking the matter of Yin Feibei in Henan. How dare Bei dare to be greedy."

Hearing Liu Bei's words that don't deserve credit, Xu Rong was even more happy, and he became more and more fond of Liu Bei.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
