The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Yangzhai, in the camp of Xunzhen.

Cheng Jia said to Xun Zhen: "Tao Xuzhou has always been greedy to take over the five counties of Xuzhou, but that's fine. If it wasn't for the power of the princes, Pengcheng would have started war early, but Xue Li, the prime minister of Pengcheng, did not send an envoy to come. Thank you Junhou, you really don’t know what’s good or bad.”

Although due to the situation, Xue Li and Xun Zhen formed a de facto alliance to fight against Tao Qian, but Xue Li has always been lukewarm to Xun Zhen. Zhen kindly invited him to join the army, but he refused without any euphemism at all. Therefore, Xun Zhen has long been "accustomed" to this.

To be honest, Xun Zhen didn't expect Xue Li to be "thankful" to Pengcheng this time, so whether Xue Li sent someone to thank him was irrelevant to Xun Zhen, and he didn't mind it.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether Xue Pengcheng thanks me or not, the important thing is that I have to help Pengcheng!"

Cheng Jia couldn't see Xue Li's "arrogant and arrogant" appearance of relying on Pengcheng's wealth, and was very angry, but since Xun Zhen said that he didn't mind, Cheng Jia was dissatisfied with it and had nothing to say. Yes, and finally said angrily: "Junhou magnanimous, it is true that he does not care about him, but in my opinion, there will be a time for him to regret it in the future!"

"There will be a time for him to regret in the future", what does Cheng Jia mean by this sentence?

Cheng Jia didn't explain further, and Xun Zhen didn't ask, just laughed it off.

In the front, Dong was undecided, and Xuzhou caught fire in the back. Fortunately, Xun Zhen handled it properly and put out the fire in the backyard in time, so he could focus on Luoyang and Dong Zhuo again.

The scouts lurking around Luoyang kept sending back Dong Jun's latest situation. Xun Zhen and Sun Jian would gather every day to analyze the changes in the enemy's situation based on the latest intelligence. Two days or three days, in the short term, Dong Jun didn't seem to have changed much, but if you put it in a longer period of time, you can clearly see that Dong Jun's morale is indeed as Xun Zhen expected, and it is increasing day by day. become low.

An important manifestation of low morale is in military discipline.

Dong Jun's military discipline was not good in the first place. As he was stationed in the Luoyang area for a long time, the military discipline became more and more unbearable. It was almost normal for soldiers to go out to the camp without permission. , has also gradually become very loose and full of loopholes.

If there were no obstacles outside, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian would not only be able to send an elite team to attack their battalion at this moment, but also have a good chance of success.

It's just a pity that there are Hulao, Luyuan, and Yique passes outside Dongying as barriers, but it is difficult to pass the pass and sneak attack.

Today, news came from Jingzhou.

However, after Liu Biao was worshipped by the court as the prefect of Jingzhou, he entered Jingzhou alone, and now Dong Zhuo is in chaos, and there are thieves everywhere on the way to Jingzhou. He traveled a long distance alone, but was able to arrive safely, which made people admire his courage and marvel at his luck.

After arriving in Jingzhou, Liu Biao invited Kuailiang, Kuaiyue, Cai Mao and others from the surrounding famous people in Yicheng to discuss current affairs with them. Needless to say, the Cai family is the crown clan of Jingzhou, and the Kuai family is also a famous family. In Jingzhou, there are a few right-surnamed nobility. Kuailiang and Kuaiyue, like Cai Mao, have enjoyed a long-standing reputation in the prefecture.

At this time, the situation in Jingzhou was very bad, which was very unfavorable to Liu Biao.

The most prosperous, most populous, and most strategically important county in Jingzhou is Nanyang County, and now Yuan Shu is entrenched here. The prefectures and counties that were relatively low in status and were a little farther from the Central Plains—it was precisely because Nanyang was in Yuan Shu’s hands that Liu Biao came to Yicheng.

In these remaining counties, probably because the emperor is far away from the sky, the clan has always been powerful in the environment. Today, the chaos has started, and the clan is more rampant, occupying various places, and only crowding in the crowd. If there are more than a thousand people, there will be no less than dozens of shares.

The most sacred and important place is occupied by outsiders, and the rest is the land of the clan. On the day he entered Jingzhou, Liu Biao did not have a soldier or soldier by his side, but he was the only one. The situation in front of him was not ordinary.

Xun Zhen and Cai Mao knew each other. Since they met, the two of them have exchanged letters from time to time, especially after Xun Zhen arrived in Yingchuan. They exchanged letters with each other more frequently. Xun Zhen learned a lot of news about Jingzhou from Cai Mao. After discussing the current situation in Jingzhou with Liu Biao, Cai Mao wrote a letter to Xunzhen, which described the situation in more detail. meeting.

Like Cai Mao, Kuaiyue, and Kuailiang, Liu Biao also came from a high school. Therefore, although he had never been an official in Jingzhou before, he had known Cai Mao and others for a long time. After all his worries, he said: "Right now Yuan Shu is about to move in Nanyang. The Jiangnan sect is very powerful, and they each have their own troops. If Yuan Shu takes advantage of their strength to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, it will definitely bring disaster to the supervisor. I want to recruit troops, but I'm afraid it won't be collected, what do you think?"

Kuailiang was the first to speak at that time, and he replied: "If the people do not belong, they are not generous and benevolent; if they do not govern, they are not good enough. As long as the way of benevolence and righteousness is practiced, the people will belong, like water flowing downward. , why are you worried that you won't be able to collect?"

Kuaiyue was the second to speak. He said: "Yuan Shu is proud and lacks strategy. The leaders of the clan are greedy and cruel, and their subordinates are disaffected. If people show their benefits, these leaders will definitely lead the crowd to come, and you will execute those who are rampant. , recruiting and recruiting their subordinates, the people in the prefecture want to live and work in peace and contentment. After hearing about your prestige and kindness, they will definitely help the old and the young, and come to defect. After gathering the troops, they will guard Jiangling and Xiangyang in the south and north. , the eight counties in Jingzhou can be pacified by issuing official documents. Even if Yuan Shu came to attack at that time, there would be nothing to do."

Cai Mao mentioned in the letter that after listening to Kuai Liang's opinion~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Liu Biao called this "Yong Ji's theory", and after listening to Kuai Yue's opinion, Liu Biao called it "Jiu". conspiracy".

Yong Ji and Jiu prison were both counselors under Duke Wen of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. On the eve of the battle between Jin and Chu Chengpu, Duke Wen of Jin asked the two of them for advice. The prisoner of mortar advocated the use of fraud. Yong Ji said that although conspiracy can be successful for a while, it is not a long-term strategy to win. Later, Jin Wen used tricks to win, but in the reward, he ranked Yong Ji ahead of the Jiu prisoner. Confused, Duke Wen of Jin explained: "Yongji's words are for the benefit of a hundred generations; Jiu Zin's words are a momentary task. How can there be a one-time task that precedes the benefit of a hundred generations?"

At the end of the letter, Cai Mao said: Liu Biao accepted Er Kuai's opinion, and after the meeting, he sent Kuai Yue to lure the leaders of the various sects.

Because at the time of writing this letter, Kuaiyue had just set off, so it is unclear how effective it will be, and Cai Maozi did not mention it in the letter.

Xun Zhen handed Cai Mao's letter to Sun Jian, and when he read it, he sighed: "Liu Jingsheng, a hero, although he entered Jingzhou alone, Jingzhou has already taken hold of him!"

Only from Liu Biao's comparison of Kuailiang's opinion to Yongji's theory, and Kuaiyue's opinion to the conspiracy of a criminal, we can see that he is ambitious, and it can also be seen from this that he decided to use fraudulent tactics to determine Jingzhou. , and use benevolence and righteousness to govern Jingzhou's strategy and political strategy.
