"The sage respects small things and is cautious, and never misses an opportunity. Huo Ran Wen a`" Huainanzi's human teachings
The two of them were both talented people in the Qing Dynasty. Although Kong Rong respected celebrities during his time, he only kept them at the banquet to decorate their appearance. Therefore, they did not follow Kong Rong away after receiving such cold treatment.
Chang'an, after seeing Lu Bu coming to Beihai, expelling bandits and treating wise men politely, they thought that following him would do great things. Who knows, there will always be many people in the world who will not listen to advice...
…
Zuo Chengzu, who felt that he had mistakenly chosen his lord again, was very frustrated, especially when Lu Bu thought that he said these words just to act as a lobbyist for Yuan Tan, and seemed to have the intention of punishing him. So Zuo Chengzu became even more frightened.
, but he didn't know what to do for a while. Fortunately, Liu Yixun came to find him at this time: "Lu Fengxian did not have the courage to become more courageous with every setback. At the moment, the Yuan family was powerful and the imperial court was far away. He only held a Beihai Prime Minister in his hand.
What's the use of the seal? Lu Fengxian must be disgusted with you this time, so it would be better for Chengzu to escape as soon as possible."
"That's what it is." Zuo Chengzu said worriedly: "If I abandon it now, wouldn't I feel guilty and collude with the Yuan family to betray the master?"
Liu Yixun said: "Lu Fengxian has never conquered you, and you have never had the 'righteousness of monarch and minister', so how can you betray your master? I heard that Yuan Tan received guests in Qi State and admired the scholars, and behind him there was Yuan Jizhou who thought that
If you want strong reinforcements, why not just go over there?" Seeing Zuo Chengzu's undecided mind, he added: "You are from Qi State, Qi State is under the rule of Yuan Tan, but you are working for Lu Fengxian, and if it spreads to the ears of others, it is inevitable that you will not
Evil will arise in two places."
At this time, Dong Zhao came to visit Zuo Chengzu again and saw Liu Yixun at Zuo Chengzu's residence. Dong Zhao did not seem to be surprised. He said to Zuo Chengzu: "This step will cause great disaster! Because of what I did today.
Fan Jinyan, Lu Fengxian thought that you had a secret relationship with Yuan Tan and wanted to betray the master, so he sent me to punish you!"
"Ah!" Liu Yixun screamed first and said to Zuo Chengzu who had not yet recovered: "Lu Fengxian is so unkind, why should Chengzu think about it again!"
Dong Zhao, who was sent by Lv Bu to 'question' Zuo Chengzu, actually also advised him: "Zhao Su admires the purity of his feet, and he really can't bear to see his good man being wronged. Now I'm here to tell you, and I hope you can do what you want."
Zuo Chengzu was already moved by what Liu Yixun said, but at this time he was even more confused. He increasingly believed that Lu Bu could not tolerate others. Even the advisors close to him advised him to make other plans. What else could he hesitate to do?
So? So he and Liu Yixun packed their bags overnight, preparing to leave Lu Bu without saying goodbye and flee to Qi State under the cover of night. He didn't know that his departure would cause a negative chain reaction, which would destroy the Qingzhou scholars under Lu Bu's command.
They were all in danger of themselves.
Although they would not leave like Zuo Chengzu, many Qingzhou scholars, and even those who were conquered by Lu Bu in the Beihai Kingdom, began to have other thoughts.
Little did Lu Bu know that the Qingzhou scholars under his command had already begun to leave. What he was worrying about at this time was another news: "Wei Xu was defeated?" He pushed away the beautiful maid beside him, paced back and forth, and finally stopped,
Said: "I entrusted Donglai County to him in vain. This man dared to disappoint me and lose to Gao Lan, a young general with no reputation! Then where is he now?"
Dong Zhao replied softly: "According to the messenger's report, Wei Fujun is currently resting in Qianzou."
"Qianzou?" Lu Bu heard this unfamiliar place name and quickly walked to the case to check the map. He found that Qianzou is the southernmost county of Donglai County, close to Beihai and Langxie. Donglai County is in his hands.
The few bargaining chips are his rear. There must be someone who is capable and loyal enough to accept the important trust. Wei Xu's military power is not outstanding. If it were not for Lu Bu's wife family, how could he get this important task? Now he is entrusted with such an important task
Lu Bu was so angry that he lost his city and his territory. He sneered: "If he escapes again, he can go to Langye Kingdom."
"Cui Juye, Gao Lan and other generals under Yuan Tan are now leading their troops from Qi, Jimo and other places, intending to attack our army from a pincer." Dong Zhao did not seem to be affected by the news of Wei Xu's defeat.
With his thoughts in mind, he said clearly: "I have two strategies, which I would like to share with the general. One is to lead the army out of the city first and defeat Cui Juye or Gao Lan. The two have not yet encircled each other and can be defeated individually."
Lu Bu nodded in agreement and said, "This is a good idea. Since they have divided their forces, I will attack them individually!"
Dong Zhao smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Our army currently has only more than 10,000 combatants, and Cui Juye and Gao Lan have nearly 30,000. I heard that Yuan Tan is recruiting troops aggressively in Qi State, Jinan and other places. In time, they will become our army."
Enemy." He took a step forward, looking a little worried: "And our army is short of food and grass. Even if we defeat the enemy this time, we may not be able to cope with Yuan's subsequent counterattack."
When Lu Bu took over the Beihai Kingdom from Kong Rong, Beihai was a mess that had been ravaged by thieves such as the Yellow Turban Army, and the people's livelihood had never been restored. Even if he wanted to plunder it, he couldn't squeeze out much military rations. The needs of the two years of war,
It was the Beihai section that was optimistic about his generous donation and the support from Donglai County in the rear.
Nowadays, Donglai has lost contact, and only one Guizhou and Zou is still in the hands of Wei Xu; and Beihai only has Chunyu, Gaomi, Chang'an and other counties left. Just these four or five counties are still places that have been plagued by thieves and natural disasters.
, the food and grass that supplied Lu Bu's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were really stretched. Lu Bu realized the seriousness of this matter. For a long time, he had entrusted the matter to Zuo Chengzu and the others. Now that Zuo Chengzu was guilty and absconded, he
Even he didn't know: "How much food and grass does our army still have?"
"Yesterday I went down to see the warehouse. It was only enough for our army for seven days." Dong Zhao said regretfully.
Lu Bu felt disappointed. He could only regret that his time to establish a foothold in Beihai was too short. If he had been given an extra year to work hard and recuperate, how could he be forced to this point by Yuan Tan Yijie? But now he regrets it.
It was of no use. According to Dong Zhao, even if he defeated Cui Juye, Yuan Tan still had Gao Lan under his command, and behind him stood a huge Jizhou. The victory of one battle could not affect the overall trend of the war. Instead of just following Yuan Tan
If you fight to the death and lose your strength, it is better to find another way out...
"Gongren actually wants me to go to Langxie, right?" Lu Bu asked softly.
Dong Zhao did not shy away and immediately said: "Wei, my subordinates once planned a strategy for the general to occupy Qingxu. Now Qingzhou is hopeless, but there is still something to be done in Xuzhou. Langxiechang, Sun Guan and others have already cooperated with
The general has many contacts, and they are very admirable for the general's martial arts. As long as the general goes south to Langye, he will surely be able to unite his tribes and restore their strength. At that time, he can return to Qingzhou and compete with the Yuan family again, or retreat.
We can take advantage of Liu Bei's unstable foothold to seize Xuzhou."
