The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

When he heard the news that Laiwu had surrendered, Xun Cheng was very pleased, and said to Guo Jia: "Save our army and people's strength, and let the people of the county of Laiwu be revitalized, so as not to suffer from military disasters, not to starve, or to be killed by arrows, with the head of a garrison, all the people. The security of this city lies in the merits of the Lang." When Laiwu was broken, Xun Cheng dispatched more than 300 of Wang Rong's ministries to Laiwu to temporarily take the responsibility of defending the city, and ordered Chen Wu to lead his troops back to the army and attack Mu together. County.

Mou County borders Fenggao, the county seat of Taishan County, and the two counties are less than 100 miles apart. If Gaixian County is the northeast gate of Taishan County, then Mou County is actually Fenggao's door. Once this county is broken, the east of Fenggao is There is no barrier anymore. Therefore, Ying Shao has put more than 2,000 troops here. These 2,000 soldiers are the elites of Mount Tai like the "Chongjian Battalion". In addition, the main guard of this city is Ying Shao's death. Zhong, and Ying Shao's younger brother and servant each are in the city to serve as military staff, and Fenggao is just west of Mu County, Ying Shao can send reinforcements to rescue at any time, because the Mou County guard is not as good as it sounds. There are many counties, if you want to break through, it will not be easy.

Xun Cheng was ready for a protracted war.

As he expected, after Chen Wu led his troops back to the army, Xun Cheng commanded the troops to besiege Mouxian with all his strength for more than ten days, but Mouxian was still unbroken.

On this day, Zang Ba led his army from the south.

Since Xun Cheng entered the Taishan area, he has only broken through the two county towns of Gaixian and Laiwu. As a local, his hometown Huaxian is in the south of Taishan, and he knows a lot of heroes from the southern counties of Taishan. It has a natural advantage in this regard, so it has already captured the four cities of Nancheng, Feiguo, Huaxian and Nanwuyang in succession, and has obtained the half-county of Mount Tai in the south of Zhushui and Yishui.

From Nanwuyang to the north, crossing the Zhushui River, Zang Ba marched for more than a hundred li, and arrived outside the city of Mouxian, where he joined forces with Xun Cheng.

The army of Xuzhou soldiers was greatly boosted.

Xun Cheng assembled the generals and discussed the next battle.

Xun Cheng was the general, and Chairman Zizai took his seat. Zang Ba was a lieutenant general, second only to Xun Cheng, and sat under Xun Cheng's seat, and like Xun Cheng, he was sitting alone. The captains of Chen Wu, Sun Guan, and Wu Dun were again at Zang Ba's seat. Guo Jia and Xu Zhuo again. Yang Cong, Gao Tanglong and other civil and military officials once again. Wang Rong and Gongsun Du were also sitting. They did not have official positions yet. Wang Rong was regarded as a "guest minister". Xun Cheng was very polite and asked him to sit opposite Zang Ba. Gongsun Du's family background was far less than Wang Rong's, and he was captured and surrendered. He was also young and sat at the last seat with him.

Outside the tent, the guards were on guard, and they obeyed Xun Cheng's orders.

Before discussing how to fight next, Xun Cheng first informed everyone about the latest report of the shogunate army.

He said: "Li Jue's thieves took the imperial court hostage, and worshipped Liu Jingsheng as the general of Zhennan, the shepherd of Jingzhou, and made him Marquis of Wu, the three princes of Yitong, and made Liu Jingsheng to supervise the military affairs of the three states of Jiao, Yang and Jing. The bandit sent an envoy to Tanxian County, and entrusted my brother to be the former general in the name of the Son of Heaven, and he was the ex-general of Jijie, the military governor of Qing, Yan, and Xu, and the three princes of Yitong." After a pause, he continued, "Li Jue will lead the car. Cavalry generals, Guo Si is the rear general, Fan Chou is the right general, Zhang Ji is the Zhendong general, and he leads the troops out to Hongnong."

Zang Ba also got this military newspaper, and after listening to it, he was still calm, while the rest of Chen Wu and others had different expressions after hearing it.

Some were happy, some frowned, some thought.

Wang Rong was very happy and said happily: "Xuzhou has a holiday today, and the military of Qing, Yan, and Xu is the icing on the cake! Rong thought that if Xuzhou and Fenggao can be immediately passed on, and this edict is stated, then the counties will not attack themselves. Come down, I should surrender to Zhongyuan and surrender!"

The higher the status of Xun Zhen, the higher the status of Sun Guan, Wu Dun, etc., as his subordinate ministers, of course, will follow the rising tide, so Sun Guan and others are also very happy. Chen Wu was a little politically minded, but he frowned slightly and said in his heart, "My lord, in the name of mediating the disputes between You and Ji, and discussing the thieves of Li Jue, took the way of Mount Tai, and now he has taken over this way in the name of Li Jue and other fake emperors. 'Edict', so is Taishan not fighting or not?"

Yang Cong, Gao Tanglong, etc. also thought of this.

Gao Tanglong asked: "Since the thieves of Li Jue have already sealed Yuan Gonggong, how could they have sealed Liu Jingsheng?"

In order to win over Yuan Shu, Li Jue and others had previously sent Ma Riju to worship Yuan Shu as the general of the left, but now they have appointed Liu Biao to worship him, which is really confusing. Xun Cheng replied: "I heard that Liu Jingsheng sent an envoy to Chang'an to pay tribute, and because Li Jue and others sent Yuan Chang, a native of my hometown, to Xiangyang to pay tribute to him."

Yuan Shu won Li Jue's veneration, and Liu Biao immediately fell behind in the righteousness, so he immediately sent an envoy to Chang'an to pay tribute, so he received an imperial edict to worship.

Yang Cong said hesitantly: "The lord and lord passed on the county of Xizhou, made Duke Zhu the leader of the alliance, and called on the world to attack Li Jue's thieves. Li Jue and the others did not take it for anger, but instead awarded him the honor of the lord... What did they mean? "

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Not only did he pay tribute to the lord, but also to Liu Jingsheng. Li Jue and others also sent envoys to see Gongsun Bogui, and they also worshipped Bogui for the sake of General Zhenbei." Guo Jia and Xu Zhuo As the mastermind and mastering the military aircraft, he has also read the military report of the shogunate. Xun Cheng didn't mention the matter of Li Juefeng worshipping Gongsun Zan as the general of Zhenbei, but Guo Jia said it at this time. He paused for a moment, then continued: "There are worships to Jingsheng, Gongguan, Bogui and the lord, but Yuan Benchu ​​has not been worshipped, and Li Jue even leads the general of chariots and cavalry, and their intentions have been shown very much. Obviously, this is obviously to isolate Yuan Benchu!"

Earlier, after Wang Yun came to power, he wanted to disband the Liangzhou soldiers. At that time, some people persuaded them, saying that "the people of Liangzhou are always afraid of Yuan, but they are afraid of Guandong. Although it was not specified whether it was someone from the Yuan family or the Yuan clan, everyone who heard it knew that it was actually Yuan Shao. Li Jue and others are indeed very jealous of Yuan Shao. Therefore, although Xun Zhen called for a joint attack on Li Jue and others at home and abroad, in order to "unite the majority" and "isolate Yuan Shao", Li Jue and others were able to "disregard previous suspicions" and instead use "former" "General" and other valuable positions are conferred on each other. Of course, the reason why Li Jue, Guo Si, etc. can do this, according to Guo Jia and Xu Zhuo's expectation, must not be entirely because of their own appetite and long-term vision. There are strategists, or who persuades them.

Guo Jia and Xu Zhuo were right.

The edict of honoring Xun Zhen as the former general Yun Yun was indeed not a decision made by Li Jue and others alone, but a suggestion from Jia Xu.

Because of Jia Xu's advice, Li Jue and others were able to capture Chang'an, relying on the Son of Heaven to rule the world. Jia Xu, Li Jue and others were extremely respectful, both close and fearful. Therefore, Jia Xu's advice They're pretty much "all-in-one".

When he first heard that Xunzhen called on the prefectures to attack Li Jue and others together, Li Jue and others were all hated and angry, but Jia Xu did not take it seriously. The county attacked the generals, and when he looked at them, his meaning was really green and Yan. He just wanted to take advantage of Yuan Benchu's struggle with Gongsun Bogui, and both of them were temporarily unable to look east. Not only do the generals not need to be angry because of this, but it is better to simply confer honorable positions on Zhendong,"

Li Jue and others were puzzled by Jia Xu's intentions.

Li Jue asked, "Grant him an honorable position?"

"Exactly."

Guo Si said angrily: "Xun Zhen's wife, my generation, is a thief, falsely saying that we will attack us together with the Kwantung soldiers. It is rare for us not to send troops to attack him, but why should we give him a distinguished and important position? Isn't this self-defeating? Prestige, boost his ambition?"

Li Jue was also angry, but knowing that Jia Xu was scheming, he restrained his anger and asked, "Why?"

"Zhendong is in the name of attacking the generals. If he can't resist the temptation of the noble position and takes over the edict, he is inconsistent and must be ridiculed by the whole world. Although he is good at fighting and owns a state, he If it is shared by the whole world, it will not be a concern in the future.”

"What if he doesn't pick it up?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't pick it up."

"How do you say this?"

"Zhendong slandered the generals as thieves, and the generals gave him a veneration, so wouldn't he also become a thief? Even if he did not accept the veneration, he thought that someone in Shandong Prefecture would take the opportunity to do so. And scolded him, saying that he 'resolutely entrusted with righteousness, and was in the same party as the generals', and he was in the same party as the generals, and it was not one of them. The ministers in the middle and the scholars and people at home show the generosity and kindness of the generals, and the second one is fine."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Li Jue, Guo Si and others thought about it carefully, and they all agreed, so they came down with the edict of Feng Bai Xunzhen.

In the Han family system, the titles of generals are extremely valuable, especially since this dynasty, not to mention generals with heavy titles, even generals with miscellaneous titles are not permanent. All generals who lead troops on expeditions are mostly given by Zhonglang generals, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun , Lu Zhixi's discussion of the Yellow Turbans, it can be said that the important responsibility of the safety of the Hehan family is all these people, and the titles given to them at the beginning are also the same.

When the world is in turmoil, the princes express each other, and the number of generals increases. However, despite this, at most the princes who express each other are generals with miscellaneous names, and most of them must be preceded by the word "行", which means agency, which is not true. Generals, such as former generals, such heavy-name generals~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Except for Yuan Shao, who is widely expected, few princes dare to take charge of themselves.

Under the generals, the generals of the hussars, the generals of the chariots and the generals, and the generals of the guards, there are four generals, front, back, left and right. Generals, according to convention, only relatives can serve as generals. Hussars, chariots, and generals of the guard are the third and second-ranking generals. Not just anyone can serve as a general. The military merit of Huangfu Song is only a general of left chariot and cavalry, which is equivalent to It was Zhu Jun who shared the chariot and cavalry generals. Although Yuan Shao was popular and the master of Guandong, he only dared to lead the chariots and cavalry generals by himself. Li Jue took the imperial court hostage and only led the chariots and cavalry by himself a few days ago.

It can be said that, in the current Hainei Prefecture, as far as the title of General of Appreciation was obtained from the imperial court, under Li Jue, there are four generals, front, back, left and right. The latter general is currently Fan Chou, and the right general is currently Guo Si. In Li Jue's party, Yuan Shu was named Zuo General in the past, and Xun Zhen has now been worshipped as a former general. If he accepts this edict, only in terms of status, he will be able to surpass all the generals in Kanto. On top, only Yuan Shu can compete with him.

Not to mention, there are also false festivals in the edict, the military governor of the three states of Qingyan and Xu, and the three princes of Yitong. The four generals in front, back, left and right are under Jiuqing. Li Jue and others first let Yuan Shuyi be with the third prince, and then let Xun Zhenyi be with the third prince. This is to give him special treatment in terms of political status.

The temptation of this edict is very great.

In addition, Li Jue conferred on Zhang Ji as the general of Zhendong, which was also suggested by Jia Xu, and his intentions were quite vicious.

Xun Zhen's current title of Zhendong General is from the imperial court and is very authentic, but Zhang Jiyi was worshipped as Zhendong General by the imperial court, that is to say, if Xun Zhen did not accept the former general's edict, then his Zhendong General would be. It is no longer true, it is "pseudo".

However, after listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Yang Cong was stunned and asked, "Dare to ask whether the prince and the marquis have answered this edict?"
