After Liu Jing left, Cheng Yu felt a little uneasy. A royal nobleman called him uncle? This was definitely not something to be thankful for. On the contrary, he needed to be more careful.
This move undoubtedly tied him tightly to Liu Jing's warship. It was almost impossible to disembark and join others midway. Of course, he was also slightly moved.
He had no reputation and had never held any official position, so Liu Jing regarded him as his uncle. Either Liu Jing really valued him very much, or he was very scheming to tie him up in this name.
After all, Liu Jing was only fourteen years old, and Cheng Yu was more willing to believe it was the former.
In fact, there are both. Liu Jing is the clearest about how much assistance a good counselor and strategist can bring. What's more, Cheng Yu's bonds are clearly written on Xun Yu and Guo Jia!
If Cheng Yu is captured, will Xun Yu and Guo Jia be far behind?
Before Liu Jing left, he left a message. If Cheng Yu was willing, he could move his family to Chen State in Yuzhou. He promised that his family would live a better life than they did here.
This is a deeper kind of binding. Although the family can live a better life if they leave, they will also become hostages in a sense.
Cheng Yu couldn't sleep all night, so he packed his luggage and went to the camp outside the city as promised the next day.
Huangfu Song and Liu Jing's army were almost ready at this time and wanted to head towards Cangting.
"Prince!" Cheng Yu walked to Liu Jing's side.
"Uncle Cheng, you're just in time, the army will set off soon." Liu Jing had been waiting for Cheng Yu's arrival and was sure he would come.
Liu Da on the side was a little shocked. Liu Jing actually called Cheng Yu uncle!
Cheng Yu also had a wry smile on his face. At this point, he had no other choice but to leave Liu Jing, or else he would have no choice but to follow him wholeheartedly!
"Your Majesty, I've thought about it. I want to move my family to Yuzhou as soon as possible. A man who wants to make great achievements must put aside his worries first!" Although Liu Jing called him Uncle Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu didn't dare to entrust him to him, so he still called him the Crown Prince very respectfully.
Liu Jing was a little surprised by Cheng Yu's words. He could see that Cheng Yu was hesitant yesterday. Sometimes the names of Han family clans are very useful, but sometimes they are not. In today's Eastern Han Dynasty, the name still has strong dominance.
In the 1960s, the names of Han clan clan members did not seem to be that useful.
If the Eastern Han Dynasty loses its deer, then the name of the Han clan clan will become more useful. People who follow you will have the opportunity to do great things. The higher your status, the number of people who follow you will naturally increase.
As soon as these words came out, it basically meant that Cheng Yu would follow Liu Jing for the rest of his life! After all, "talents" like Ma Chao are rare!
"Liu Da, please find a reliable person to handle the matter of Uncle Cheng's family moving into Chen State carefully. You must ensure the safety of Uncle Cheng's family along the way!" Liu Jing was very serious. After all, he couldn't even protect Cheng Yu's family well.
If so, why ask him to sacrifice his life for himself?
"Here!" After receiving the order, Liu Da went to handle the relevant matters.
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty!"
"Chen Ming, go get Uncle Cheng a horse! Can Uncle Cheng know how to ride a horse?"
"Of course, how can a gentleman not know the six arts!"
After a night's rest and replenishing food and pay in Dong'a, the army quickly embarked on the journey to Cangting. Without many stops in the process, it arrived in the Cangting area three days later.
Cangting is also called Cangtingjin. It is backed by the Yellow River. The famous Battle of Cangting is here. Cheng Yu's ambush plan was also played out in the Battle of Cangting.
Several leading figures were gathering in front of the military formation at this moment.
"What do you think about the extermination of Bu Si?" The person who spoke was none other than Huangfu Song.
Bu Si did not occupy the city because he did not have many troops, but wandered around Cangting. Now that the army has arrived at Cangting, it is possible to encounter Bu Si at any time.
Several people didn't answer. Fu Xie himself was not particularly proficient in grand strategy. It was normal to think that the Cangting area was backed by the Yellow River and surrounded by plains. From the terrain point of view, there was little room for display. Judging from the weather, it was almost August.
, nothing special except a little hot.
Liu Jing thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything, and the scene suddenly seemed a little quiet.
Cheng Yu, who was standing side by side with a few people, looked quite leisurely at the moment. Liu Jing knew at a glance that Cheng Yu must have a countermeasure. It was probably because he was silent that he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Uncle Cheng, have you thought of a countermeasure?" Liu Jing asked.
"Where can I tell you about countermeasures? As far as I know, the Bu Si tribe leads less than 10,000 thieves." Cheng Yu said, "General Huangfu Changshe defeated tens of thousands of enemies. This battle does not require any countermeasures. We can attack head-on."
Just line up and face the enemy!"
Cheng Yu was very confident when he said these words. Huangfu Song couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this. Cheng Yu's thoughts coincided with what he was thinking!
When facing Bo Cai, Peng Tuo would first brainstorm every battle to find a good strategy for the enemy. However, he did not mention this until he arrived at Cangting this time. It was precisely because there were too few soldiers in Bu Si's army and the gap in combat effectiveness between the two armies was too large, leaving no suspense.
.
Huangfu Song did not explain the battle at Changshe to Cheng Yu. He only met this person yesterday, so naturally he could not reveal it casually. After all, people are at odds with each other, and talented people are not necessarily good people.
Lying about one's military exploits can be considered a crime of deceiving one's Majesty in the worst case.
Liu Jing and Fu Xie's eyes lit up after hearing this, yes! In the first two battles, they had to discuss matters with the enemy before the battle, which made them somewhat accustomed to using strategies to defeat the enemy.
"Hahahahaha! Cheng Yu's words are very agreeable to my heart!" Huangfu Song laughed and said, "Let's divide our troops here! Fu Xie, you lead one army, the crown prince will lead one army, and I will lead one army myself, and we will go to the bank of the Yellow River in three ways.
If we get closer, whoever finds Bu Si's whereabouts first will send someone to report it."
The army suddenly marched in three directions. In a normal head-on confrontation, the Han army could still do it not only with one against ten, but also with one against three. In addition, Bu Si was a newcomer to the army, and the strength of his soldiers was even weaker. Even if they were divided
The army is nothing to fear.
"Uncle Cheng, where do you think Bu Si is hiding now?" With no one else around, Liu Jing and Cheng Yu led the army alone.
"In my opinion, it must be on the banks of the Yellow River."
"Why did you say that?" Looking at the confident Cheng Yu, Liu Jing was a little curious about where his judgment came from.
"Bu Si's army has been in Dongjun for a long time, but it has never had more than 10,000 people under its command, and there is no city to defend in Dongjun. Although it is nominally the commander of Yanzhou Qu, in fact it does not live up to its name, and is no different from ordinary bandits!"
"It's August now, and the surrounding villages and pavilions have almost been plundered. Bu Si's army rations should not be too much. If he continues to stay in Dongjun, his thieves will be dispersed when the rations are exhausted."
"The best way now is to go all the way north, as long as you can bypass the imperial army, and rely on plundering the food from the countryside to get to Jizhou to meet up with the bandit Changjiao."
Cheng Yu spoke eloquently, saying that it was the only way out for the Dongjun Yellow Turbans. In fact, it was not just the Dongjun Yellow Turbans. Now the only way out for the Yellow Turbans in the world was to find a way to meet Zhang Jiao.
"Uncle Cheng's wisdom is rare in this world!" Liu Jing exclaimed with joy after hearing this! He has been frightened since the last time he came into contact with Cao Cao. He lamented that there are so many heroes in this era, but he has not accumulated enough attribute points, and he always feels helpless.
Feel.
After hearing this, Cheng Yu was neither sad nor happy, but just shook his head lightly, "Your Majesty, I would like to say something treasonous and unethical. The world is no longer clear and bright. Most talented people hide in the streets and mountains, not showing up. Among them, the intelligence is higher than the others.
I don’t know how many people there are!”
"How many people are more intelligent than you? Don't be humble, Uncle Cheng." Liu Jing obviously didn't believe this. There were not many people in this world with an [Intelligence] of 90, even if we look back a few decades.
, I don’t know if this kind of statement really can’t stand up to scrutiny.
"There are a few people I know who are not inferior to me!" Cheng Yu said this question very seriously.
The two were originally discussing the battlefield situation, but unexpectedly, Liu Jing accidentally pulled out the big fish!
I had been thinking about how to get those two people into my bag before, but I didn't expect that Cheng Yu had already lured them out by himself.
"Who is more intelligent than Uncle Cheng?" On the surface, Liu Jing still pretended to be unconvinced and asked.
"There is a young man named Xun Yu from a prominent family in Yingchuan named Xun Yu. His character is Wenruo. He has just reached the crown. He showed his talent and learning at a young age. The world calls him 'Wang Zuo's talent'. I can't catch up with this man's talent even if I try to impress him."
Cheng Yu seemed to recall the past, with a look of admiration in his eyes!
Liu Jing had already guessed that he was going to mention Xun Yu, and he was delighted, "Is this person really as powerful as you say?"
"It's absolutely true!" Cheng Yu said in a more serious tone, "Wen Ruo is still young, but his talent and learning are not shallow at all. It's a pity..."
"What's a pity?" Although Liu Jing knew Xun Yu, he didn't know much about Xun Yu's life. He was young when he read the Three Kingdoms. Who doesn't yearn for the five tiger generals, Zhuge Liang? He has a deep understanding of the Cao Wei regime and the Soochow regime.
Some key figures are only known by name but not well understood.
"Last year, Wen Ruoju Xiaolian was summoned to Luoyang to serve as the palace guard. What a pity! Such a great talent is only responsible for trivial matters every day." Cheng Yu's tone gradually turned into a low tone, lamenting his friend's fate, but also seemed to be sighing.
The injustice of the times.
The palace guard order belongs to the officials of the Shaofu. The main function of the Shaofu is to manage the emperor's private property and daily affairs. The chief official is one of the nine ministers, who enjoys a salary of two thousand stones. There are chief ministers and other orders.
The Palace Guarding Order is one of them. It is mainly responsible for the royal pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as other items used by the ministers, sealing clay, etc. This is what the royal minister does every day. It is no wonder that Cheng Yu sighed for him.
It is worth mentioning that the Shaofu organization is very bloated, with many official positions, and eunuchs are also subordinate to the Shaofu, such as the highest Zhongchangshi, Huangmen Shilang, Xiaohuangmen, Huangmenling, Huangmen Pushe, etc.
A series of eunuchs such as Zhonghuangmen all belonged to the Shaofu.
It's just that today is different from the past. The eunuchs are obviously separated from the management of the Shaofu, and can even be said to be completely independent. Great eunuchs such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong hold power. Even the three princes are not afraid, let alone the Shaofu.
.
As long as the eunuchs had the support of the emperor, they were almost superior to the officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Cheng Yu's words revealed several key pieces of information. Xun Yu was famous when he was young, but now that he is the guardian of the palace, there must be a gap in his mind.
The promotion of Xiaolian last year shows that Xun Yu is only 21 years old this year, and he is very likely to win over Xun Yu and become his first boss! Xun Yu is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he is a clan relative, which is perfect!
