The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms
Vol 8 Chapter 65: Whoever cares about public affairs in the private sector may not be willing to de
Chen Deng said: "I also thought that Xun Guangling's army entered Fuli, and the intention must be in Pengcheng."
Chen Deng was born in the Guan family of the prefecture and county, and he is very talented. Although he is young, he has already shown his life-threatening talents. Since he was worshipped by Tao Qian as the Diannong school captain of Xuzhou, he has cultivated farmland and repaired water conservancy, and achieved remarkable results. , won the reuse of Tao Qian.
Seeing him speak, Tao Qian was very happy and asked slowly, "Yuanlong, in your opinion, if Xun Guangling really intends to Pengcheng, how should you deal with it?"
"Prime Minister Pengcheng is arrogant, and he has committed a few crimes against Duke Ming, and he should be punished. But now that Xun Guangling has entered Fuli, in my humble opinion, the attack on Pengcheng must be slowed down."
Tao Qian was noncommittal and only said "Oh".
After hearing this, the pottery merchant was a little unhappy, and said, "Chen Xiaowei is exaggerating."
Tao Qian asked, "What?"
Tao Shang replied eloquently: "Although Xun Guangling's soldiers have already entered Fuli, it is reported that there are only 2,000 Xun soldiers who have entered Fuli, and the generals leading the troops are not Jiang Xian, Xun Cheng, Xin Ai and other Xun Guangling. All the generals/generals under the tent. There are only a few soldiers and weak generals. What's the point of entering Fuli? Xue Li, the prime minister of Pengcheng, is self-reliant on the wealth of the county, and he has always ignored his father. Punish it! How can we stop here because of the 2,000 divisions in Xunguangling District, let the flag die, and return the class? If we do this, we will laugh for the people of the state and the world! Father, the son thinks: there is no need for it at all. Just pay attention to the two thousand weak soldiers of Xun Guangling, just go both ways and attack Pengcheng together.
Tao Qian asked Chen Deng and Wang Lang, "What do you think?"
Wang Lang was silent.
Chen Deng said: "Ming Gong Mingjian: Although there are not many Xun soldiers entering Fuli, only 2,000, but Xun Guangling is good at fighting, and his subordinates are all good soldiers and strong generals. Since these two thousand soldiers were sent to Fuli by him, they are responsible for this important task. , I think it must be a soldier who can fight..."
The pottery merchant interrupted him and said: "Xun Guangling can fight under the tent, but can't our army's Danyang soldiers and Taishan soldiers be able to fight?"
"Danyang soldiers are the elite soldiers in the world; Taishan soldiers are famous at home and abroad. Of course, the two armies of Danyang and Taishan can fight, but the problem is..."
"what is the problem?"
"Although the two armies of Danyang and Taishan are excellent, it is extremely difficult to defeat both Pengcheng and Xun's troops in a short day. If they cannot win in a short time, then Yingchuan is only a few hundred miles away from Pengcheng. Xun Guangling is now joining forces with Sun Wucheng. Tens of thousands are stationed in Yangzhai. If the two of them hear the news and come to the rescue, they will arrive in a few days. By then, it will not be a question of whether they can win, but will face the embarrassment of whether they will lose. Yes."
Tao Qian asked Wang Lang, "What do you think?"
Wang Lang said: "Chen Xiaowei's words are very true. I urge Duke Ming to think twice."
Tao Qian laughed and said, "What's the use of 'thinking twice'? What Qing and others saw, they were with me. That Pengcheng Prime Minister Xue Li was arrogant and rude, and the people of the state were angry. Although I wanted to punish him for a long time, I could do nothing Xun Guangling didn't know the details, but he was blinded by him, so he divided his troops into Fuli..., I respect Xun Guangling loyal to the country. At this moment, how can I meet him with swords and soldiers when there is a misunderstanding? I should choose an opportunity to send people to Yangzhai first, meet Xun Guangling in person, and after analyzing the twists and turns, I will discuss with the ministers about the army."
Wang Lang and Chen Deng bowed down and said in their mouths: "The Duke of Ming is wise and wise."
After the discussion was over, the Taoshang sent Wang Lang and the others out, turned back into the room, and said angrily to Tao Qian: "A-Weng, Wang Lang, Chen Deng, and others, they have wronged A-Weng for treating him so kindly and reusing him, but in the end they either kept their mouths shut. Don't say anything, eat inside and out, and have your heart toward Xun Zhen, or you can talk bluntly and talk nonsensely, obviously thinking of A Weng, but in fact, your heart is Xun Zhen, it's really hateful and annoying!"
Tao Qian shook his head and said, "No, no."
Taoshang was stunned, and said, "What does A-Weng mean by this? What's wrong, wrong'? Could it be that Wang Lang and Chen Deng's generation did not have their hearts towards Xun Zhen, but towards A-Weng?"
"Of course they're not interested in me."
"Then where did Aweng come to be 'Neiye'?"
"But they didn't have their hearts on Xun Zhenzhi either."
"That is?"
"Didn't you see clearly? Who do they really want? I've already told you before." Tao Qian looked at the eldest son in front of him, hated that iron was not steel, sighed, and said, "Stupid! Their hearts are neither me nor Xun Zhenzhi, but Xuzhou scholars and themselves!"
The pottery merchant suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, what A Weng taught is." He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "These scholars have only themselves in their eyes, and they don't care about A Weng's favor for them. Dogs are better than them too! It's really hateful and annoying!"
Tao Qian didn't feel worried, looked at the eldest son, and thought about the second son, and said, "Why don't I have a son like Xun Zhenzhi? Knowing that extravagance makes you angry, you can see that the world is in chaos, but the two sons are like this, and they are both unusable. Even if I take down Xuzhou in the future, I am afraid that there will be no successor. I have worked so hard and exhausted, and who am I busy for?"
Even though he thinks so, even if his two sons are useless and not qualified heirs, seeing that the world is in chaos, the heroes are about to rise together, and holding more than half of Xuzhou in his hand, Tao Qian will never be empty. Sitting in his seat, doing nothing.
Tao Qian thought in his heart: "Chen Deng and Wang Lang were probably thinking: use Xun Zhenzhi to restrain me, and then use me to restrain Xun Zhenzhi, in this way, the five counties of Xuzhou will not fall into the hands of one person. I or Xun Zhen's family are dominant, so that they can ensure that they can have both sides in this situation that is most beneficial to them, and use their strengths to consolidate their positions and obtain the greatest benefits. Well, since they do not approve of me taking Pengcheng, I will not take it for now. Xun Zhenzhi is now stationed at Yangzhai, and the sour jujube has dispersed, and Eryuan is also exhausted. I think that Dong Zhuo will have a battle with him and Sun Wentai sooner or later, so I will wait until then, and I will take the opportunity to send troops. , cover up Pengcheng."
Tao Qian made a decision here. He is a straightforward person. Since Pengcheng can't take it now, he doesn't waste time. He quickly passed an order to order the two troops to return to their own camps and relieve the threat to Pengcheng. .
However, although the siege was relieved, in secret, Tao Qian continued the previous strategies and measures, while continuing to drive the thieves from Xiapi and the East China Sea into Pengcheng, while instructing the soldiers of his cronies to pretend to be thieves, he also kept invading the territory of Pengcheng. To deplete Pengcheng's strength by looting, burning and killing, and waiting for the next day's massive attack.
...
Pengcheng domestic.
Xue Li, the prime minister of Pengcheng, heard that Tao Qian had withdrawn his troops, and said to the left and right: "Tao Gongzu has not enough people's hearts, he has already won three counties, and he looks at me Pengcheng again, but I don't know how my Pengcheng can be compared with the three counties of Donghai, Langya, and Xiapi? My county? The soldiers are strong, the horses are strong, the food is sufficient and the weapons are good, and even without Xun Guangling to help, he, Tao Gongzu, will definitely not get anything from me!"
Someone on the left and right said: "What Duke Ming said is very true. It's just that Xun Guangling did not leave his way, and specially divided his troops to send Fuli to help Duke Ming and strengthen his momentum. Now that the soldiers of Tao Gongzu have retreated, the officials secretly thought that Duke Ming should be the leader. You should send one person to Yangzhai to thank Xun Guangling in the face."
Xue Li disagreed and said: "Although Guangling County is vast, it is poor, with few people, scarce output, no iron, and lack of grain, and it is bordered by the three counties of Xiapi, Donghai, and Langya. There are also many pirates and pirates on the island, who sometimes invade and plunder. It can be said that they are attacked on three sides. Compared with me needing him, Xun Guangling needs me more. And without me Pengcheng, Guangling would not be able to support for half a year. Therefore, this time Xun Guangling entered Fuli, not so much that he was helping me, not that he was helping himself, and moreover, it was not that I invited him out. Soldiers, he came uninvited and sent out his own soldiers, why should I send people to travel hundreds of miles to go to Yangzhai to thank him?"
Someone persuaded again: "That said, Guangling and our county are like lips and teeth. Last time Xun Guangling invited Duke Ming to raise troops to ask Dong, but Duke Ming had already rejected him. Dong Zhuo in the east, but after hearing about Tao Gongzu's deployment of troops, he still immediately divided his troops to Fuli, and made a strong name for our county, and I thought: For future plans, it seems inevitable to send someone to Yangzhai to thank you."
"Dong Zhuo's army is strong, how can he defeat it? Suanzao's more than 100,000 troops have been scattered, and the two Yuan have successively lost consecutive defeats. This is enough to show Dong Zhuo's strength. Xun Guangling did not know the importance, and raised the county to Yangzhai. In my opinion, This is the way to die, and defeat is a matter of time. How could I join him to fight against Dong? Once the army is defeated, Xun Guangling will die in seriousness, and his troops will be destroyed if he is light. Even if he can return to Guangling, he will definitely be powerful. Minus, until then, why would you say 'lips and teeth'? ..., I don't need to talk about it anymore, I remember his 'help' today, and when that happens, I'll just use 'help' again."
Xue Li got up and waved his sleeves and left the hall.
The officials in the hall looked at each other in dismay.
