The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 9 Chapter 24: Xun Cao Xiong, prince of Henan

Xun Zhen immediately sent an envoy to see Li Qian.

Leaving Tan County, Jinghe Township, passing through the State of Lu, then passing through Rencheng and Shanyang, and traveling about 500 li, the messenger arrived at the boundary of Chengshi County in Jiyin County. , then went straight to the outside of the camp and asked to see Li Gan. Because Xunzhen was currently attacking Mount Tai, the messenger did not reveal his identity, but only said that a letter from an old friend was sent, and Li Gan summoned him, and the messenger explained the true meaning of the order.

Li Gan didn't make a statement on the spot, and very enthusiastically arranged for the messenger to rest, and then called Li Zheng and others to see him.

Li Zheng is Li Gan's son.

Li Gan is in his thirties this year, and Li Zheng is in his twenties. Although he is young, he has a small reputation, and his words and deeds are quite like his father.

When Li Zheng et al came, Li Gan told them what the envoy Xun Zhen had said, and asked, "What do you mean?"

In addition to Li Zheng, there were also several of Li Gan's brothers and sons, as well as several counselors and warriors in the ministry.

One of Li Gan's younger brothers was the first to speak, and he said loudly, "Zhendong is free in Xuzhou, we are free in Yanzhou, and the eight poles can't be hit, why should I vote for him?"

A counselor shook his head repeatedly and said, "Although Duke Ming's prestige is high, Liu Yanzhou, after all, has a king's life in his hands, and he also has strong troops and strong horses. You're making me wait to die!"

One of Li Gan's servants said loudly: "Although Zhendong is based in Xuzhou, when it comes to wisdom, what is the point of General Cao? Also, General Cao is near, Zhendong is far away! Abandoning General Cao to Zhendong, the wise will not do it!"

As soon as Li Gan said this, everyone present nodded in agreement.

However, everyone knows that Pei country borders Shanyang, and Li Gan and Cao Cao are both chivalrous men. There are frequent correspondence with Li Gan, and they give each other endless gifts, but it is only limited to that Cao Cao is still only a prefect of Dongjun, so Li Gancai has no need to raise clans, guests, and tribes to vote, but everyone is all. I understand that Li Gan really admired Cao Cao very much. ——This is also one of the main reasons why Li Gan rejected Liu Dai and Wu Zi's recruitment one after another. He believed that Liu Dai and Wu Zi's talents were far inferior to Cao Cao's.

Li Gan's words follow his son's words, which is exactly in Li Gan's mind. He looked at everyone, and saw that everyone agreed with what he said as a servant. Only Li Zheng frowned slightly, as if he had a different opinion, and asked, "Quiet! What do you have to say?"

Li Zheng went down to the worship hall and said: "Zhendong is a famous family, and his account is full of martial arts. He beheaded Zhang Jiao and defeated Dong Zhuo. He has taken over Xuzhou and Xia Jiujiang. Fang Jin is now working on Mount Tai. The court honored the former generals but Zhendong refused them. He insisted on forging ahead with determination. He was known for his loyalty and sincerity as a national hero. Xu Zijian praised it as the 'valley of barren years'.

Li Gan liked and valued his son very much. Hearing his objection, he said, "So, do you think you can respond to Zhendong's move?"

"Exactly."

"How can Liu Yanzhou's army be strong, but we can't win? Once the army is raised, it may perish."

"Liu Xuande, Chen Gongdao, and Jiang Jiyan are stationed in Rencheng and Dongping. You can ask Zhendong to send them westward to echo us. Although Zhendong uses Taishan, Xujing has a lot of troops and horses, so you can also send them to attack. It is less than a hundred li from Changyi to the east, my father suddenly raised his army, Liu Gongshan will not be able to catch up, it is time, we attack the west of Changyi, Liu Xuande's generals attack the east of Shanyang, and there are yellow scarves disturbing the north of Yan, and Liu Gongshan is strong and strong. General, if you face the enemy on three sides, you will be defeated! Even if you can't take Shanyang in one fell swoop, we can still be transferred to the station and the east."

Jiang Hu's original character was "Ji Xia", and Xun Zhen gave his eldest son "Ji Xia" as a nickname, so he changed it to "Ji Yan".

After listening to Li Zheng's words, Li Gan pondered a little, and felt that it seemed feasible, and asked everyone again: "What do you think my son said?"

One of Li Gan's elder brothers disagreed with Li Zheng's words and said, "What Ziqi said is too risky! Yes, it would be great to be able to take Shanyang in one fell swoop, but if it doesn't work, we will transfer to the post and the east and leave it to someone else. , how is it in the Cheng family!"

Everyone in the hall agreed.

How good is it to be the king and hegemon of the Cheng family, why should he take risks and sacrifice his life for Xun Zhen?

Another counselor said: "The Fenwu family is the crown surname, and they are unparalleled in their intelligence. They attacked the yellow turban. They used their military exploits to worship the captain of the cavalry and challenge Dong Zhuo. In the beginning, the princes supported the crowd and did not dare to go out. Although the Fenwu troops were few, they were independent. Bravely advancing, the name of loyalty and bravery is far away in the east of town! The Yellow Turbans and Black Mountains of Dongjun are tyrannical, and the original and Gongshan cannot be controlled, so the troops will arrive in ten months, and the commander is like a god. De, the good counselors of my Yan, Gongliu, Marquis Wen, the famous heroes of Henan and Yan, Bao Yuncheng, the heroes of my state, and these generations are all dedicated to Fenwu, as well as the Fenwu clan and foreign relatives, Cao Xiahou, all of them are heroes, how can Zhendong be able to reach it? Today, the princes in the sea are rising, and they may be able to be strong for a while. Xu Zijian said that he was a 'hero in troubled times', so the Taiwei Qiao Gong called him 'the talent who lives in the world' ', whoever succeeds must be General Cao."

"Fen Wu" is the general title given to Cao Cao by Yuan Shao when he was discussing Dong: "Xing Fen Wu General".

What this advisor said was not only a compliment to Cao Cao, but also revealed a little "regional" flavor in his unconsciousness.

He cited Chen Gong, Cheng Li, Shi Huan, Ding Fei, Bao Xin, Zhu Cao, Zhu Xiahou, etc., either from Yanzhou, or from the same country as Cao Cao, whose home is in Pei State, in short, Xun Zhen and Cao Cao Although they are all from Yuzhou, Yingchuan is in the west of Henan, far away from Shanyang, and Pei is in the east of Henan, but it is adjacent to Shanyang, so for Li Gan and other people who are mostly natives of Shanyang, Cao Cao is natural The land made them feel closer, not to mention that Cao Cao is still an official in Yanzhou, not to mention that due to the geographical proximity, just like Li Gan and Cao Cao, many of them are related to Chen Gong. Wait, these counselors and generals who are now in Cao Cao's army are old friends.

On the one hand, there are many old friends~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They are familiar with each other, and they can be trusted and trusted immediately after defecting to the past. Self-explanatory.

Li Zheng wanted to say more, but one of his clan elder brothers said, "Zhendong and Fenwu are both heroes, the princes of Henan, Jiao Qingzhou, Qing Tanshi, Sun Yuzhou, Wufu'er, Liu Yanzhou, just don't match up, only these two princes do not match. As a hero, it is expected that Yanzhou will belong to one of the two monarchs in the future. Only Fenwu is close, but there is Dongjun, and although Zhendong is across the three states, it is a little far away. In my humble opinion, why don't my uncle sit and wait and see. ?"

This is an old saying.

Although Liu Dai's reputation was good, he was not capable enough to get the obedience of the county magistrates. Yanzhou changed hands sooner or later. At present, the most likely person to get Yanzhou is either Xunzhen or Cao Cao. - Xunzhen has a large territory, There are many soldiers and horses, and they have now occupied half of the counties of Dongping and Rencheng. When Taishan is conquered, they will gain another county in Yanzhou. For the time being, he is in a leading position, while Cao Cao is still in the lead. He was at a disadvantage, but he was reconciled, and he had the support of many Yanzhou heroes, and Yuan Shao was behind him. If Yuan Shao could defeat Gongsun Zan, he would definitely give Cao Cao strong support. At that time, Xun Zhen and Cao Cao would eventually It's hard to say who will win. Taking a step back, even if Yuan Shao loses, with the support of Bao Xin and others, Cao Cao will be able to compete for Yanzhou. With Li Gan's reputation and strength, it doesn't matter if Cao Cao will occupy Yanzhou in the future. , or Xun Zhen, they will only win over him, and will never blame him, so instead of choosing a side to take refuge in now, it is better to wait and watch the development of the current situation and wait until the situation becomes clear.

Li Ganyin made a decision: "Send a gift to the envoy of Zhendong, and report the matter to Meng De."
