Chapter three hundred and sixty how righteousness is born
"He who can support an orphan six feet away can send a life a hundred miles away." [Book of the Later Han·Volume 12]
Chen Gong's eyes flashed, and he knew that this was the key to what he said: "Why don't you understand Mr. Zhang? This time, that time. In the past, when Cao Cao first entered Yanzhou, he had no one to rely on, and he had no one to rely on.
Mr. Fu. Also, Mr. Fu has a high reputation for chivalry and will definitely do no harm. Naturally, he has entrusted me with my family. Now I am attacking Xu, can they repay my family's entrustment?"
Zhang Miao was originally poor at speaking and didn't have many opinions. He was speechless for a moment when Chen Gong said it, and he was obviously moved by the other party's words.
Chen Gong struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Yuan Jizhou deeply regrets his past mistakes. It is often said that when he joined forces to form an alliance, he really had the intention to get carried away. Fortunately, the ruler of the government spoke out to persuade him. However, he did not realize it at the time, and even uttered evil words and bad words.
I have been a friend for more than ten years! Thinking that now I am getting older and my old friends are few and far between, I can’t bear to sit back and watch the friendship fade away, so I sent General Zhu Ling to drive away the foreign enemies and save Chen Liu from danger. Isn’t it with? "
"Yuan Benchu..." Zhang Miao looked hesitant. At that time, he was famous for his generosity and charity. He became friends with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Xu You and others, and traveled together in Henan, Yingchuan and other places in the Central Plains. They had a deep friendship. Later he participated in
They planned to kill the eunuchs, and jointly advocated for the rebels to attack Dong Zhuo. They watched and heard each other, and after drinking, they thought about how to govern the Han Dynasty in the future and restore peace to the world. How harmonious the relationship was at that time!
But now, for what reason, the brothers turned against each other, and each seemed to have become indifferent, selfish, and snobbish.
Cao Cao, who was impassioned and vowed to be a general to conquer the west, now wants to annex Yanxu and defend the east; and Yuan Shao, who wants to be a model scholar and become the "Fourth Duke" of the Yuan family in Runan, is now satisfied with his ambitions in Hebei and has done many things.
Don’t do things that go against your original intentions.
With a close friend on one side and an old acquaintance on the other, Zhang Miao hesitated until the end, still just wandering in the same place, sighing, and unable to make a decision.
Seeing this, Chen Gong knew that he could not force too much, so he quietly winked to the side, then raised his hands and said: "Now there are heroes everywhere, Jiuzhou is divided, the ruler of the government is the hero of the world, with a hundred thousand people, guarding the territory, counterattack
Don't hesitate to treat people! At present, Cao's army is marching eastward to Xuzhou. The state is empty. The powerful officials such as Xu Si and Wang Kai are dissatisfied with Cao. Zang Jun is a famous figure, and Tian Shijun is the governor of the imperial court. If you lead the army
Welcoming them, co-governing Yanzhou, and observing the situation in the world, isn't this also a plan of vertical and horizontal strategy?"
The current situation in Yanzhou has been placed in front of Zhang Miao. There are many people who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao's execution of Bian Rang and others, and Tian Fen, the official assassin of Cao Cao, who hates Cao Cao.
It was intended to help Cao Cao, but it was a drop in the bucket and could not change anything. And Chen Gong was lobbying him at this time. Maybe Yuan Shao was thinking of his old relationship and came to help him...
Chen Gong saw that the heat was almost done, and Zhang Miao had to think about the rest, so he consciously stood up and left: "That's it for now, I hope you will make plans in advance."
Zhang Miao was still deep in thought, and subconsciously waved his hand to Chen Gong's resignation. His younger brother, the former Guangling prefect Zhang Chao, also stood up from the couch beside him. After bidding farewell to Chen Gong in person, he turned around and returned.
Beside Zhang Miao, he stood with his sleeves down for a while, then suddenly sighed: "Brother, what are you still worried about?"
"Yuan Benchu was kind to me in the early years, and the friendship between Cao Mengde and me has always been as deep as before. Now that I am sandwiched between them, it is really embarrassing!" Zhang Miao sighed helplessly and said softly. Because he has been there all year round.
Pampered and pampered, he was still fair-skinned at the age of forty, as if he were thirty years old. He walked to the quiet verandah and said to himself: "How could this happen?"
Zhang Chao followed him to the verandah, and saw a tall and sturdy man standing in the corner of the verandah. He was wearing armor and holding a soldier, and he was very powerful. He squinted for a while and quickly recognized this man: "This
Is he the warrior under Zhao Sima who can raise the Yamen flag single-handedly?"
"Well, this is also an old man in our army. When I raised volunteers to challenge Dong, he responded to me without hesitation." Zhang Miao looked at the strong man, his eyes couldn't help but reveal the recollection of the past, recalling the past.
Those passionate days together.
Zhang Chao mentioned this person not to bring back the past, but to indicate to Zhang Miao how he could get this guard to stand aside when he was discussing important matters with Chen Gong. Moreover, there were only two brothers at this time, so they obviously wanted to talk about it.
This person doesn't have the eyesight to see private matters, and he doesn't know how to avoid them consciously.
He didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Miao.
The other party understood and immediately said: "Don't worry, this person is loyal to the guard and his words will never be passed on to others. He is trustworthy. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhang Chao reluctantly agreed and did not care about such small details.
Going back to the topic, Zhang Chao has never had a good impression of Cao Cao. He even believed that Cao Cao was able to control Yanzhou today because of his brother's generous "relinquishment". That year, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, died in Qingzhou one after another.
In the hands of the Yellow Turban, only his elder brother had the highest reputation among the counties in Yanzhou and was suitable to take charge. The only flaw may be that Zhang Miao was from Dongping, Yanzhou. According to the Three Mutual Laws, he could not be the governor of Yanzhou. But at that time, the world collapsed and the imperial court moved westward.
Who cares about this?
But in the end, it was Yuan Shao who secretly supported Cao Cao in taking control of Yanzhou, and his brother happily supported it...
If the relationship between Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao had not been so tense back then, and if Zhang Miao could have paid less attention to rules, then all the counselors, generals, soldiers and horses that Cao Cao has today would be theirs!
"Let's not care about the cause." Zhang Chao avoided the other party's meaningless self-pity and said straightforwardly: "Brother, what I have to consider now is the choice! According to Chen Gongtai, Zang Jun will lead his troops into Dongjun soon.
Together with Tian Shijun, all the powerful families have secretly formed a secret alliance. As long as Tian Shijun gives a loud shout, Yanzhou will change! If that happens, Chenliu will be surrounded by enemy troops. Brother, what should I do?
Why should we treat ourselves? Are we still going to stick to Cao Mengde for him?"
Zhang Miao's face was heavy. He was easily led by someone he trusted, and now he was in a fierce psychological struggle. He opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he didn't want to admit that the situation was not good for him: "Zang Ziyuan was once your subordinate.
Official."
Zang Hong was recruited as an official by Zhang Chao when he was the prefect of Guangling, and they had a relationship between emperor and minister. When Dong Zhuo went against the grain, the world was angry, but it was Zang Hong who took the lead in persuading Zhang Chao and calling for a coalition of rebels. Zhang Chao happily led him
The soldiers went to meet the alliance, but in the end, Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, but he has gained nothing so far. Even the original governor of Guangling was lost to Tao Qian.
"The soldiers under his command are soldiers of the Yuan family, and they also obey the orders of the Yuan family. It would be easy if he did not attack Chenliu; but if he is asked to retreat, how can he disobey Yuan Jizhou's wishes?"
Zhang Chao shook his head helplessly. In fact, he had already made a plan in his heart. As soon as Zang Hong led his troops into Chenliu, wouldn't it be easy to take charge of Yanzhou with his relationship with Zang Hong? Of course, this was after Zhang Miao agreed to raise troops.
What happens after that, the most critical thing now is how to convince Zhang Miao, who is wavering in his stance.
So he further increased the stakes: "Brother, don't forget, Zhu Wenbo is still in Chenliu!"
"Ah!" Zhang Miao understood instantly, and a chill suddenly appeared in his back.
