The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

【First Update】

——

The beauty of the long **** is not only in the chess game, but also in the boudoir.

However, for people like Xun Zhen who have "far-reaching aspirations", the pleasure of the boudoir is only a taste. Since he returned to the county, he has only done it occasionally to play and relax with Chen Zhi's daughters. Most of the time, he is still as usual. After soaking in the barracks and taking care of the casualties, he practiced endlessly every day.

Through the battle of Julu, Xun Zhen achieved two goals.

First of all, to recover Julu, to keep the channel of Zhao County and the outside world, and to prevent Zhao County from being surrounded by the Black Mountain Army on three sides.

Secondly, helping Ying Tao to clear the siege and helping Guo Dian to recover the southern counties of Julu County are all real military exploits. Under the background of the fall of half of Jizhou and the raging thieves, Xun Zhen first protected Zhao County without any loss, and then helped Guo Dian to recover Julu, with dazzling achievements.

He Yong sent a letter earlier and hinted that he should make more contributions, so that he and Yuan Shao could speak for him in the court and help him get promoted. At that time, Xun Zhen was going to take his troops to Julu. The military matters were important, and there was no reply. Now that he returned to the county after the battle, he had time to spare. He took half a day to reply to He Yong carefully, and at the end of the letter, he mentioned the expedition to Julu. After finishing writing, he thought to himself: "Having the two credits of defending Zhao County and attacking Julu, is it enough for Yuan Benchu ​​and He Boqiu to speak for me in the DPRK and China?"

Since he got on the line with He Yong and Yuan Shao, he has been writing letters with He Yong and Yuan Shao a few times in the past few months. Yuan Party".

In addition to back-and-forth with Yuan Shao and He Yong, Xun Zhen, Cao Cao, Zhong Yao and others also often wrote letters.

Cao Cao is the backbone of the "Yuan Party". Based on his other talents and Ren Xia's character, although he was born in a family of eunuchs, his status in the "Yuan Party" is now the same as that of He Yong and Zhang Miao, who is currently a military captain. He was the one who first recommended Xun Zhen to Yuan Shao. When he parted with Xun Zhen in Yingchuan last year, he also gave Xun Zhen a sack. Xun Zhen was promoted to Lieutenant Zhao in the second half of last year and he also worked in it. Thanks to this deep friendship, they exchanged the most letters.

Cao Cao moved to Jinan Prime Minister last year due to his achievements in "destroying Yingchuan thieves".

Since taking office, he has been bold and daring. There are more than ten counties in Jinan, and the chief officials of the counties are many with nobles and relatives, and they are dirty. In the former Han Dynasty, Liu Zhang, the grandson of Gaozu, made a great contribution in the process of killing the Lu family, and was named the King of Chengyang. Because of his merits to the Han family, he sealed the country and built a temple for him, and the counties in Qingzhou followed suit. Jinan is especially prosperous, and there are more than 600 shrines. These are all prostitution shrines. The stewards of prostitution shrines take advantage of the people's fear of ghosts and gods, and often use some names to accumulate people's wealth. The more prostitution shrines, the poorer the people. Some state ministers also believed in ghosts and gods, and feared that if they destroyed the temple, they would attract revenge from ghosts and gods. Soldiers dispatched officials, destroyed temple houses, and stopped officials, officials, and people from not being allowed to worship in temples, and the prostitute temples in Jinan were eliminated.

In more than ten counties in the country, he expelled the chief officials of eight of them in one fell swoop; he was not afraid of ghosts and gods, not afraid of civil disorder, and for the good of the people, he decisively eliminated the lewd temples that no one dared to remove for hundreds of years. Xun Zhen admired his daring style.

When he was in Yingchuan in the past, Xun Zhen was regarded by some county officials as "torture officials". However, the deeds of his "torl officials" were only small troubles. Compared with Cao Cao's elimination of violence and evil, and the rule of law, it was less than a year. Jinan's political achievements are not worth mentioning.

Zhong Yao is now a Shang Shulang. Although his rank is not high, he is located in the important area of ​​Taiwan Province and has a lot of power. In addition, he comes from a famous family, and his family and Li Ying's family are also in-laws, so he has made many friends in the DPRK. Most of the letters between Cao Cao, He Yong, Yuan Shao and Xun Zhen were about political affairs, while the letters between Zhong Yao and Xun Zhen were mostly chats between friends. From Zhong Yao, Xun Zhen saw a lot of anecdotes about Luoyang.

Xun Zhen sealed the letter, summoned Dian Wei, and ordered him to send someone to Luoyang to meet He Yong face to face.

...

The drizzle continued for three days.

The rain stopped, I climbed high and looked into the distance.

It's just that although the scenery is good, the news from other counties one after another has added a lot of haze to the county.

First, there was news from Wei County. Yu Du besieged Ye County for half a month, but the attack failed, so they abandoned Ye County and turned to attack the south of the county, including Ke Neihuang and Liyang, east of Yanzhou East County, and west of Suigu of Hanoi County. The troops joined forces, and the momentum soared, and the two prefects of Wei and Hanoi were helpless and could not attack.

Then came the news from Changshan County. Zhang Feiyan captured the Yuan clan, turned westward, and captured Luancheng and Pingji. So far, in the thirteen counties of Changshan County, only Gaoyi and houses not far west of Gaoyi remained. The two counties were not lost, and all the rest fell. With the prestige of winning streak, Zhang Feiyan gathered the morale of the army and secured the position of the head coach.

Yang Feng and Zhang Feiyan parted ways. After returning to Zhongshan, they also attacked the city and looted the county. They successively conquered Shangquyang, Wangdu, Tang, and Puyin counties. They echoed Boling in the southeast of Zhongshan and trapped Lunu, the county seat of Zhongshan, in the encirclement. , Zhongshan has not lost the counties now only Guangchang and Peiping in the north of the county and a few counties in Lunu in the county.

There is a lot of bad news, and there is also good news—if Yang Feng is independent and does not follow the banner of Zhang Feiyan, it is also good news.

In May, the wheat harvest season, finally came two really good news.

The first good news is that this year's harvest was good.

The second piece of good news is that Zhang Feiyan dispatched Duke Lei and another commander, Sun Qing, to lead 8,000 troops. They were determined to go northwest and enter Zhongshan County. First take Wuji and then Xinshi. , but grabbed the site with Yang Feng.

This second piece of good news made both Xun Zhen and Liu Heng breathe a sigh of relief.

Before that, Liu Heng had been worried that Zhang Feiyan or Yu Du of Wei County would attack Zhao County, and Xun Zhen was also worried about this, and for this reason, he strengthened the defenses of Bairen and Zhongqiu counties in the north of Zhao County, and put Li Xiang and Wen Ping. They were sent to these two counties to assist Chen Bao in setting up defenses.

Zhang Feiyan did not attack Zhaojun, but counterattacked Zhongshan and fought with Yang Feng. It seemed that he had lost his head, but it was actually his cleverness.

There are two reasons: First of all, he rebelled not to fight for the world, but to seek peace. In this way, he did not need to fight Xun Zhen recklessly, depleting his strength. Xun Zhen did not want to fight with him, and he also did not want to fight Xun Zhen. Zhen, the famous "milk tiger" fought recklessly; secondly, in order to get the most benefit in the future, he had to ensure that he was the only "commander" in the Montenegrin Army, so he could not sit back and watch Yang Feng stand on his own. , he must strengthen his "coach" majesty by attacking Yang Feng.

Of course, in addition to these two reasons, there is another reason: since he conquered the Yuan clan and almost captured the entire county of Changshan, his reputation among the various thieves in Montenegro was unparalleled for a while, and the thieves who came to defect to him, the thieves Yue Yue More and more, in just one month, the number of troops under his account has grown from 30,000 to 40,000 people to more than 100,000 people, although nearly half of the more than 100,000 people are women, children, the old and the weak, and they can be called elite soldiers. There are only 10,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 cavalry, but Changshan County alone can't support so many people, and he has to expand outwards.

Zhang Feiyan's soldiers are very resourceful, but Yang Feng is not his opponent. He defended the battle for more than ten days. First, Quyang was conquered by Lei Gong and Sun Qing, and then Wangdu was surrounded again. Seeing that Zhang Feiyan was about to win a big victory, Yang Feng was at this time. He did something that made Xun Zhen laugh and Zhang Feiyan annoyed: he sent an envoy to Luoyang and asked the Han Dynasty to surrender.

The rebellion between Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and Song Yang in the northwest intensified. He responded by accepting Yang Feng's request to surrender, sending envoys to worship Yang Feng as the captain of Heishan, and envoys leading all the bandits.

Captain of Montenegro, this is obviously an official position specially established for Yang Feng.

The school captain, with a rank of 2,000 stone, is not as good as the governor of the county and country, and has no power to protect the land and govern the people. He can be filial and honest, and dispatching officials to the court is the power of the governor of the county. The Luoyang court tacitly tacitly accepted this Yang Feng's occupation of the Zhongshan half-county.

As for "envoys leading the mountain thieves", the prefectures of Jizhou, such as Wang Fen, Guo Dian, Liu Heng, Xun Zhen, etc., have written books to the court and introduced the situation of the Montenegrin army in detail. The court of course knew about Montenegro. The commander-in-chief of all the military units now is Zhang Feiyan, but he has given Yang Feng the name, which is known to everyone with discerning eyes. This is obviously to provoke an infighting in the Montenegrin Army.

Yang Feng's invitation to surrender was successful, and he turned into the Heishan captain of the Han family. According to common sense, since Zhang Feiyan also wanted to surrender, he should not attack Yang Feng again. After being annoyed for asking to surrender in advance, he not only urges Lei Gong and others to continue to attack Wangdu, but also sends Li Damu's army of 5,000 troops to rush to Wangdu city to help Lei Gong attack the city.

As his close confidant, Li Damu knew that he was going to surrender to the Han Dynasty~www.wuxiaspot.com~ asked in puzzlement: "Yang Feng has surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and if he continues to fight, will it be disadvantageous for the general to ask for surrender? "

Li Damu's doubts are very reasonable: Yang Feng surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Feiyan also wanted to surrender to the Han Dynasty. If we continue to fight, there are only two results. One is that we can't win, and the other is that we can win. What if you win? Turn around and surrender? If you do this, will the Luoyang court feel that Zhang Feiyan is hitting the court in the face? Are you mocking the court?

Zhang Feiyan had no such doubts, he simply replied: "I want to beat Yang Feng in order to ask for surrender."

Yang Feng had already asked him to surrender to the imperial court in advance, and the imperial court had given Yang Feng the title of "envoy to lead thieves". If he withdraws his troops at this time and asked to surrender, he will definitely be looked down upon by the Han family, and Zhang Feiyan's "commander of Montenegro". The status will also be shaken. Only by hurting Yang Feng and proving his strength can he get a higher official position than Yang Feng, and can Yang Feng honestly dare not challenge his majesty.

If it hurts Yang Feng and surrenders again, will the Luoyang court feel embarrassed?

Zhang Feiyan scoffed at this: Does Luoyang have the capital to take care of its face now?

Lei Gong, Sun Qing, and Li Damu joined forces to besiege Wangdu. After five days of fierce fighting, Wangdu fell.

Zhang Feiyan sent an order, ordering the three of them not to attack any more, so they withdrew their troops, and at the same time sent an envoy to Luoyang to ask for surrender.

As he expected, the Han family is now ignoring the head, and although he thinks that he beat Yang Feng and then asks to surrender, it hurts the dignity of the court, but they can't care about him. In early June, they sent an envoy to the court. Really determined, thanks to Zhang Feiyan as the general in peace.
