In the past few days, there have been a lot of military reports, and there are many things for Chen Chong to solve.
The first was the military report from Guandong. Liu Bei had earlier decided on the strategy of setting up camp in Puyang first and then riding across the river after the chasm was frozen. Chen Chong soon received it. After careful consideration, he felt that there was no problem and agreed with Liu Bei's strategy.
Liu Bei felt that the ten thousand horses in his possession might not be safe enough. Hearing that Chen Chong had acquired some horses before, he asked Chen Chong for them again.
Chen Chong had previously sent over all the 10,000 war horses he had just raised, and warned Liu Bei to be careful about his actions. But after the White Horse Camp was set up, Liu Bei discovered that the situation was far more serious than imagined.
The Gengcang Army was extremely sensitive to the establishment of the Baima Camp. Within ten days, they mobilized nearly 100,000 troops on three sides of the camp. Relying on their numerical advantage, they were divided into three groups and harassed the camp day and night.
The sound of gongs and drums at night made it difficult for the whole camp to rest.
Zhang Xian's troops relied on the camp to fight back, which was quite lethal at first. However, after Geng Cang's army realized that they could not break through quickly, they then built large wooden pillars and slowly moved forward, built forts around the camp, and built mountains of earth around them with the intention of attacking the city.
The momentum was unbreakable. Fortunately, although the camp was surrounded on three sides, Zhang Xian's navy was still able to pass through, so Liu Bei sent more soldiers to rescue the camp from the water, and hurriedly transported 100,000 arrows into the White Horse Camp.
This hit the target of the Gengcang army. Although they were large in number, they were short of weapons, arrows and armor. The two armies exchanged fire on the camp for a long time. In the end, the Gengcang army was in trouble first and had no choice but to be trapped in the Baima Camp.
At this point, Liu Ye arrived at the scene and personally made the decision that the top priority was to close the waterway.
So Zhang Rao ordered the brothers He Yi and He Man who came from Yuzhou to cross the river in Puyang and lead troops to attack Hanoi. In the south of Ji County in Hanoi, they also repaired a camp like the Baima Camp, and then built a pontoon bridge with the south bank.
, block the big river waterway.
Liu Bei couldn't break through for a while, so he used Xun You's strategy to set fire to the boat from the upper reaches, and then burned the pontoon. But it took nearly half a month, and winter had come. Although the river was not frozen, it had already ebbed. The Han army could not continue
Provide assistance to the White Horse Camp. This has caused Zhang Xian's troops to be in an extremely difficult situation. The arrows brought into the White Horse Camp are consumed very quickly, and it is not known how long they can last.
After Chen Chong learned about it, he stepped up the transfer of 60,000 newly made arrows and urged the Hedong Army to set up three new iron government buildings. However, he was unable to do anything more. He could only send a letter to Liu Bei saying: "Before the freeze, the cavalry army
Things should be done secretly, and the location of the raid should also be secretive. Do not announce it in advance, and do not let the people around the cavalry enter in case there is a chance."
The war in Kansai did not go well either. After repelling the Liang army last year, the remnants of the Liang army were entrenched in the Chencang area. After recuperating, they occupied Wudu County. After three months, Lu Bu reorganized 30,000 troops in February.
The army tried to regain Wudu first, and then use it as a stronghold to gradually occupy Liangzhou.
However, the Liang army occupied the strategic locations such as Sanguan and Gulu, but Lu Bu did not have the upper hand in troops and was not familiar with the terrain, so there was no progress for half a year. In June, Lu Bu lost patience and followed Yang Zan's advice, taking risks and spending a lot of money.
He spent a lot of money to appease some local Dihus and tried to take a detour and go straight to Hechi. However, the Liang army learned the news halfway and abandoned their old route to intercept Lu Bu. The two sides met at Shangwei Mountain and had a great battle. As a result, Lu Bu was defeated.
Leaving thousands of corpses behind, he fled back to Chencang.
After the defeat, Lu Bu learned from the pain and planned to let go of the Liang army first and then attack Hanyang County where Ma Teng was. He marched westward along the Weishui River and directly attacked Shanggui. The Liang people in Shanggui were caught off guard and were quickly captured by Lu Bu. But not before
When he was happy, all the troops from Xiliang came together. Lu Bu found out that the opponent's army numbered nearly one hundred thousand, and he felt fear in his heart. He finally gave up on Shanggui and returned to Chencang.
A year later, Lü Bu lost his troops and lost his generals in vain. He was extremely angry and sent a letter to the court asking the court to send more reinforcements. Chen Chong did not have any extra troops to send, so he had to write to Lü Bu to comfort him, saying that he should be recuperated in Chencang first, and Chen Chong would send people to the front next year.
Come to Xiang to help.
What attracted Chen Chong's attention even more was the customs report from Yanmen. It said that there was something strange in Xianbei in the north. Kebi was able to occupy the back of Tanhan Mountain, and he was at odds with Tuoba Jiefen, and they gradually began to mobilize their troops for a war. Yanmen's
Linghu Yuan wrote to ask Chen Chong how the Yanmen Army should handle the matter.
Chen Chong wrote back to Hu Yuan, saying that after Bu Dugen's death, the Han army formed an alliance with Tuoba Xianbei. Tuoba Xianbei had done nothing wrong in the past few years, and he defended the northern border of Bingzhou. It was not appropriate to sit back and watch. If Tuoba Jiefen
When you send someone to ask for help, you should agree and send troops to help. You should not be half-hearted.
Even if Chen Chong handles everything in detail, but now that he is not on the front line, many things can only be warned with words. Whether his words are really useful and whether the front line can benefit from them are all unknown. He should and can now
What is guaranteed is peace between Sanfu and Bingzhou.
At the beginning of November, the weather suddenly cooled down, the clouds in the sky were gloomy, and it looked like it would start to snow soon. At the same time, the war in Kanto was about to enter a critical moment, and there were suddenly few military reports there.
At this time, the battle situation on the front line can only be decided by Liu Bei himself. All Chen Chong can do is to train the newly formed armies, train troops and teach martial arts, and learn how to hunt and shoot. This is not only to select and train soldiers, revitalize the military, but also
Prepare for the next changes.
But at this time, a group of envoys arrived in Chang'an. They came from Yizhou. The leader was Liu Zhang, the son of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and they were accompanied by Yizhou celebrities Zhang Song, Ren An, Zhou Shu, Dong Qin and others.
, claiming to be following the mission of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, he came here to report his duties to the imperial court and make good friends.
Chen Chong met with Liu Zhang and his party at the Shangshutai.
Liu Zhang was a thin man with a graceful figure. Although he was wearing a vermilion court dress and a green crown for entering the virtuous circle, he still looked somewhat elegant. Before Chen Chong could say anything, he held the disciple ceremony, called himself a descendant, and then turned towards the emperor.
He knelt down slowly and bowed down. Everything he did and said was precise, just like a gentleman in ancient times.

Although Chen Chong was a few years older than Liu Zhang, it was not convenient for him to act like an elder. At this time, he personally poured tea for Liu Zhang. After all, Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, once served as Taichang, and was Chen Chong's direct superior to Dr. Chen Chongren. According to current etiquette, he was said to be Chen Chong's.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is the master. In fact, Chen Chong was able to preach and debate the classics wantonly in Taixue, and it was indeed because of Liu Yan’s tolerance and support.
Therefore, Chen Chong called Liu Zhang Ji Yu and Liu Yan as Duke Jun Lang. The two of them chatted about family matters first, and Chen Chong asked: "I haven't seen Jun Lang Gong for several years. Is he in good health now? On his back.
Do your old illnesses still recur frequently?"
When Liu Yan was serving as the governor of Jizhou, he went hunting with others and was accidentally scratched by an eagle. As a result, he had ulcers on his back, which could not be cured even after many years of treatment, so Chen Chong had this problem.
Liu Zhang respectfully replied: "Thanks to you, since the rebellion of Ma Xiang and Jia Long was put down, Yizhou is at ease. Your Excellency has been recuperating in Mianzhu, and your mind and spirit are at peace. Last year, after our brothers got together with you, Your Excellency was even more happy."
I'm glad, although back gangrene still occurs, it's much less severe."
"That's it!" Chen Chong looked very happy when he heard this, and said slowly: "Last year, Duke Jun Lang and I both received imperial edicts asking for help. I thought I could save the country together with Duke Jun Lang, and I felt extremely relieved.
, Unexpectedly, after the Shu army regained Hanzhong, they suddenly stopped moving forward for some unknown reason. I thought something had happened to Duke Jun Lang, but today I heard that he was fine, so I felt relieved."
These words contained accusations against Liu Yan for not saving the court, and Liu Zhang could naturally hear it. He was also prepared for this, and replied calmly: "I don't know, but this is the reason for the rebellion of the Mijiao in Hanzhong! The terrain of Hanzhong is dangerous.
, my lord originally thought that it would not be easy to recover, so he sent Zhang Lu, the leader of the local rice religion, as a general to attack Hanzhong. But after he occupied Hanzhong, he rebelled and killed his deputy general and ceded the territory to defend himself. My lord, I sent troops several times but was unable to conquer it, so I was unable to save you.
!"
At this point, Liu Zhang complained again that Liu Yan had the country in mind, so even though the north road was cut off by Zhang Lu, he still sent envoys to contact the court. Their group left Nanjun from Yiling, and then went north from Jingzhou to make a detour
After going around Wuguan for nearly three thousand miles, he finally arrived in Chang'an. Yizhou Zhongjie's sincerity can be seen.
When Liu Zhang said this, Chen Chong did not refute, but took out a memorial letter from the book and handed it to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang didn't know why, so Chen Chong motioned for him to read it by himself, and then said: "Recently, Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, wrote to the court, saying that you
Duke Lang made thousands of chariots and carriages in Mianzhu, which is similar to Zixia's suspicion of saints in Xihe. Can Ji Yu honestly tell me whether this is true?"
Liu Zhang was frightened when he heard this, and he quickly returned the letter to Chen Chong, thinking about how to reply.
Liu Biao's letter above is quite heartfelt. It is said that Zixia doubted the saint in Xihe. Zixia refers to Liu Yan, Xihe refers to Yizhou, and saint naturally refers to the emperor. What Liu Biao means is that Liu Yan is famous in Yizhou.
The emperor’s plan.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and replied: "It is a legitimate act for the Jingzhou pastor to express his gratitude to the court after hearing this. But even a dictatorship like Dong Zhuo would not dare to act like this. Your Excellency is only a foreigner, so how can you have such courage?"
”
"What do you mean by Ji Yu, are these all rumors?"
"With King Leyi and King Jian outside, there is also the worry of ridicule from the government and the public. King Yan abandoned Leyi and the state was in chaos. King Qin valued King Jian and unified it. This is common sense in the world and is not unusual. How can you not understand this truth if you are wise?"
”
At that time, King Yan Zhao appointed Le Yi to attack Qi. Le Yi conquered more than 70 cities in Qi, leaving only Jimo and Ju. The famous general Tian Dan spread rumors in Yan that Le Yi wanted to become king in Qi, so King Yan Hui general
Le Yi recalled Qi, and the Yan army was defeated. However, the first emperor ordered Wang Jian to lead 600,000 people to attack Chu. There were also rumors that Wang Jian wanted to become the king of Chu. However, the first emperor did not change the appointment, and the Chu country was destroyed, and the world
Unify. Liu Zhang replied with these two examples, comparing Liu Yan to Leyi Wang Jian, implying that if the imperial court recalled Liu Yan without authorization, there would be great chaos in Yizhou.
Chen Chong laughed when he heard this. He said with emotion: "We haven't seen each other for several years, but even Ji Yu can talk like this." So he ignored Liu Yan's arrogance.
The next day, Liu Zhang and his entourage reported their duties to the emperor at the court, and promised to promote Xiaolian to the court in the coming year. After the emperor granted Liu Yan the position of Taifu, he was promoted to a special rank, and he was appointed as the general to suppress the west. He also sent a message to Liu Yan, hoping that
He was able to perform the story of sinus fusion, worked hard for the imperial court, and regained peace.
