The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

First, there were three statements, political public opinion was established, then troops, food and equipment were prepared, the leader and subordinates who went on the expedition were selected, and military preparations were also made. Dongfeng, under Xun Zhen's command, moved in unison in all directions.

In order not to give Ying Shao time to respond, he sent an order the day before and dispatched troops the next day.

But he said that the order passed on the afternoon before should be received by Shao after nightfall.

When he received the letter, Ying Shao was shocked. He had already gone to bed, but he jumped out of the bed wearing a single shirt and kept calling outside, calling for the chief secretary, Yang Mi.

Yang Mi and Yang Cong share the same clan, and the two are brothers. The father of Yang Xu is the famous official Yang Xu. In addition, Yang Xu, the eighth ancestor of two thousand stones, has the family name of Taishan Guan, and his people are quite strategic. , won the credit of Ying Shao.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, the year before the Great Year, when Emperor Ling was in the court, he first worshiped Yang Xu, who was the prefect of Nanyang at that time, as a prefect. He didn't have to give out the "Zuo Zou", that is, the gift money, but Yang Xu had not yet taken office, he fell ill and died, the Yangbi brothers rushed to Nanyang, helped the coffin to return home, and kept filial piety for three years. County registrar.

Yang Mi didn't take a rest today and was sleeping in the official residence of the county government. He received Ying Shao's urgent call, and he arrived in a short time.

Ying Shao had already put on his clothes and was walking around in the school beside the bedroom, feeling restless. Seeing Yang Mi coming, he hurriedly handed him the Xuzhou letter in his hand, and said, "Guo As Che Qi said, Zhendong is really going to invade my realm!"

Yang Mi calmed down, read the letter, and returned it to Ying Shao respectfully, saying, "In this letter, Xun Zhendong is just exaggerating, why does Duke Ming need to panic?"

Ying Shao said: "What kind of way? Xun Zhendong's heart, who doesn't know? This is obviously because of the way, and it's coming to take my county!" Holding the written text, he slapped the palm of his hand, and said in exasperation, "You said this. Should I lend it to him? If I borrow it, he will destroy the Guo Dao; if not, I am afraid that he will attack! "

When Ying Shao took office as the Taishou Day of Taishan, there were many yellow turbans in Taishan County, and Ying Shao led the civil and military forces to sweep away the yellow turbans that were entrenched in the counties and mountains of the county one by one, either suppressing or expelling them. , he had little military exploits, but now it was just a letter from Xun Zhen, and before the troops and horses entered the country, he was already frightened and panicked, and he lost an inch. This shows the prestige of Xun Zhen.

Yang Xu was only forty-eight years old when he died. Although Yang Mi was his eldest son, he was not very old, less than thirty years old. However, because he came from a family of hairpins, he had been fascinated by his ears and eyes since he was a child. quiet truth.

He did not rush, and replied to Shao: "Fu-kun, don't be anxious. After the general chariot and cavalry came to the letter, the fugitive has mobilized his troops to guard the important towns along Mount Tai and Xuzhou. Liu Yuan, Wei Wen, Wei Yong, etc. All the school captains used to seek the Yellow Turbans from the lord of the prefecture, and they all knew that the soldiers were brave. Even if it was as the lord of the government said, Xunzhen asked the east to borrow the way, and his real intention was to attack our county. Given my danger in Mount Tai, it is expected that he will return without success." After a pause, he continued, "It's really urgent, Liu Yanzhou, Bao Jibei and I have lost our teeth, and we will not sit back and watch, and will definitely come to help me, there are mountains and rivers in the county. The danger is that there are Liu and Bao's help outside, and the soldiers and grains are sufficient, and Xunzhen will come to the east, so why should you be afraid!"

Ying Shao said: "Your intention is: do you want me to go back to Xuzhou and refuse his request for borrowing?"

"Exactly. The lord of the government can immediately return to the court and refuse his request. At the same time, he will send a message to the commanders of Liu Yuan and order them to be strictly guarded to prevent the Xun soldiers from attacking."

Ying Shao was still worried, and hesitantly said: "Zhendong is good at fighting, and it is very shocking at home and abroad. The generals such as Xun Cheng, Xu Zhong, Xu Rong, Xin A, and others, all have outstanding military exploits, not Yi's generation, Liu Yuan's school. Although Wei has tried to attack the Yellow Turbans from me and knows the soldiers, I am afraid that they are not the rivals of Xun Cheng’s generation. They will not be able to match them, and I am afraid that the quality of the soldiers in Taishan County will not be as good as that of Xun’s soldiers. If the battle is invincible, Why?"

Yang Mi said: "Secret has a plan and dedicate it to Duke Ming."

"Oh? What's the matter? Say it, say it."

"In the past, when Tao Gongzu chased the Yellow Turbans from Xuzhou, he relied on the power of Zangba and other commanders of Mount Tai. After Xunzhen took Xu to the east, he first transferred Zangba out of Langya, and then edited Sun Guan, Changxi and other ministries. My younger brother Yang Cong In Xun Zhendong's house, looking at his writing, the disciples of Changxi seem to be dissatisfied with this for a long time. If Xunzhendong comes to attack our county, the Ming government can send envoys to see Zangba, Changxi, etc. in secret. Because of the heavy profit, it is said that he rebelled against Xu. Once the other generation rebelled and Xuzhou was in civil strife, where would Xun Zhendong have the spare power to attack my Mount Tai?

Ying Shao was overjoyed, and immediately accepted Yang Mi's plan, then after a moment of indifference, he asked Yang Mi, "Brother Qing is under the East Mansion of Xunzhen, may it be used by me?"

Yang Mi shook his head and said, "Although my younger brother is a scholar, he is honest and upright. Since he has been from Xun Zhendong, he will definitely not return to Mingfu." He added, "Before he came to the book, why did he say? The disciples of Changxiu' Yunyun, because Xuzhou and my Taishan fashion are at peace, so he said, now that Xunzhen Dongzhen is at war with my county, my younger brother will definitely not talk to me about Xuzhou's military and political affairs. Character."

"Can't you give it a try?"

"If you try it, you will be humiliated. .

"If you try, you will be humiliated" is a pun. It is not only an insult to Yang Cong's personality, but also Ying Shao and Yang Mi's self-inflicted insults, which will be looked down upon by Yang Cong.

Ying Shao was also a famous person. He knew the character of the famous person. Hearing Yangmi's words, he no longer insisted on it.

Immediately, the commanders of Liu Yuan, who had been instructed by Shao Chuan in the borderlands, ordered to strengthen their defenses, and wrote a letter in the evening to reply to Xuzhou.

After the letter was sent, it wasn't until noon ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that two consecutive letters came from Nancheng and Gaixian.

Nancheng is in the southernmost part of Taishan County, bordering Hexiang in Donghai County, Xuzhou in the west; Gaixian County is in the northernmost part of Taishan County, and bordering Dongguan in Langya County, Xuzhou in the east. The defender of Nancheng is Liu Yuan, and the defender of Gaixian is Wei Wen. The two chariots came from the two of them in a hurry. The words used in the chariots were different, but the meaning was the same: Xuzhou soldiers suddenly crossed the border and entered the defense area.

Nancheng is not bad. It is far from the hinterland of Taishan County and the county seat. There are many mountains and rivers, and there are many dangers. Even if the Xuzhou soldiers attacked this place, it would be difficult to respond to Shao in a short time and form a big threat. different.

The county seat of Taishan County, Fenggao, is also in the north of Taishan County, only more than 200 miles away from Gai County, which is one of them; the large rivers in Taishan County include Wushui, Yishui, Wenshui, etc., all of which are connected from north to south. In Taishan County, Gaixian County is on the north bank of Yishui River. If this place is conquered, there will be no big river between Gaixian County and Fenggao. Only a few mountains such as Linle, Liangfu and Youlai can be used. Blocked, the second. In short, that is to say, although the Xuzhou soldiers who attacked Gai County had only entered the country, they had already posed a serious threat to Shao.

Ying Shao used the secret strategy of sheep, and immediately sent people to sneak into Hexiang, Zhuxian and other places, as well as to the Zangba camp outside Nancheng County, in order to persuade these former Taishan soldiers to betray Xu.——Liu Yuan and Wei Wen have already made it clear in the letter that the Xuzhou soldiers here in Nancheng fought under the banner of Zang Ba, and the Xuzhou soldiers here in Gaixian fought under the banners of Xun Cheng, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, etc. Sun Guan, Wu Dun was in Xun Cheng's army, and it was difficult to send people to see him secretly, so he abandoned the two of them for the time being, and mainly talked about the betrayals of Zang Ba and Chang Xi.

Yang Mi knew the importance of Gaixian County, and volunteered to go to the front line of Gaixian to supervise the battle.

The sheep secretly came out of Fenggao County, traveled in the starry night, and traveled eastward for more than 200 miles, and arrived at the county town of Gai in the afternoon of the next day.
