"...If I, Gai Ying, want to occupy Hanoi County, how can he, the prince, come to my eldest brother alive to sue me?" At the end of his sentence, Gai Jun spoke fiercely, his eyes shone brightly, and his momentum was overwhelming, showing the majesty of a prince.
Yuan Shao drank a glass of wine without making a statement. Xu You advised him: "Ziying, don't be excited, don't be excited... We have been friends for more than ten years, and there are no conflicts that cannot be resolved. Don't get angry over trivial things...
…”
Xu You didn't say anything, but it was okay. When he mentioned Gai Jun, he became even more angry and said loudly: "I am angry because we have been friends for more than ten years. Who does he think I am, Gai Ying? Did I send troops to Hanoi for myself?"
I fought a bloody battle with the national thief Dong Zhuo in Hedong, but he is fussing over such trivial matters. Isn't it chilling?"
Xu You rolled his eyes and said: "In the final analysis, it is still the Korean Festival. Liu Gongshan stopped supplying money and grain to Bingzhou and caused these things. The troops in Guandong raised troops to form an alliance with the jujubes and gathered tens of thousands of people. Liu Gongshan was the most powerful among them. He really couldn't help Ziying, but Jizhou was rich.
We are so powerful that money and food are piling up in the government treasury. Han Wenjie lets the money rot and grains go out, but does not give it to Ziying. It is really inappropriate..."
Due to the close relationship between the two of them, Xu You straightforwardly provoked discord. Gai Jun nodded and turned to Yuan Shao and said, "What the elder brother did at the beginning was too inappropriate. Han Fu is despicable and shameless. How can a dirty villain control the old land of Wu?"
Gai Jun didn't say anything about Jizhou, but only talked about the old place of Guangwu, which obviously meant something. Xu You's eyes narrowed and his smile faded slightly, while Yuan Shao looked at Gai Jun deeply.
Gai Jun's eyes were like swords. He looked at Yuan Shao and said word by word: "Brother is the only one in the world who can control the old land. Brother, as long as you nod your head and agree, I will lead the troops in and kill Han Fu."
I will bear all the consequences."
Yuan Shao and Xu You have been in the capital for decades. One look at Gai Jun's demeanor and words, and you can tell that he is serious and not joking. Yuan Shao burst out laughing, which made people feel like they were refreshed by the spring breeze. He raised his glass to invite him to drink wine and said: "Zi Ying's heart
I am very wise as a brother, but today the national thief is Dong Zhuo, so you must not do anything that pleases your relatives and makes your enemies happy."
Gai Jun sighed in disappointment. He really wanted to help Yuan Shao occupy Jizhou, and he never thought about taking it for himself. He just wanted to get some benefits later.
Gai Jun had complicated thoughts about Yuan Shao. Due to his memories of his previous life and his inner ambition, he always regarded Yuan Shao as his biggest competitor. Cao Cao could only be ranked second. However, since the two met in the capital, Yuan Shao had a lot of affection for him.
He takes care of him like a father and a brother, and he owes a lot of favors, which he may not be able to repay in his lifetime...
The room suddenly fell silent, except for the faint breathing of the three of them. Looking at Gai Jun and Yuan Shao, they were each lost in thought. Xu You, who always claimed to be a master of lively atmosphere, opened his mouth several times to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Yuan Shao who spoke first: "Ziying, I'm new to Hanoi. I don't know the details. What's the situation on the other side of Hedong?"
Gai Jun briefly explained the battle and its results to the two of them. Of course, his own strength and casualty figures were infinitely expanded by him. He bluntly said that half of the 50,000 troops sent were killed and wounded, which sounded like the truth. Yuan Shao and Xu You had no doubts about him.
, Gai Jun is certainly the most capable general in the world, and Dong Zhuo has been in charge of the army for decades, so he is not an ordinary person. This casualty number seems normal to them. What is the reality? In fact, Gai Jun relied on the power of stirrups to kill a large number of people with extremely weak casualties.
He defeated Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of soldiers and cut off half of the country east of the river.
Gai Jun finally said: "I originally wanted to take over the whole territory of Hedong in one go, cut off Dong Zhuo's return route, attack from the east and west with the Kwantung Allied Forces, and destroy the country's traitors in one battle... It's a pity that when we reached Anyi, the army was already at the end of its powerful crossbow, and the soldiers were dissatisfied.
Twenty thousand, with Yang Feng watching from behind, and Dong Zhuo's reinforcements arriving, we had no choice but to stop at Anyi, forming a deadlock."
Xu You glanced at Yuan Shao and asked Gai Jun, "Ben Chu is planning an offensive recently. Can Ziying cooperate with it?"
Gai Jun nodded and said: "No problem. I am not boasting, but Dong Zhuo has to leave at least 50,000 elites in Hedong before he can rest assured. I will then personally lead the army to station in Heyang and Hejin Port in Wen County, and prepare to cross the river to attack Luoyang.
The two combined can involve Dong Zhuo's 100,000 troops. Furthermore, Dong Zhuo also has to worry about other affairs, so the number of troops he can invest is no more than 50,000."
Xu Yougan smiled and said: "It's just a test, not a fight to the death."
After talking about the business, the rest became much more relaxed. The three of them talked about common things. When they learned that Gai Jun's third child would be born in about March, Yuan Shao and Xu You congratulated each other. Xu You said: "At this time, the three sons are all around.
Ying, do you want to take a look?"
"Okay." Gai Jun nodded with a smile. He remembered that the last time he saw the brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang was five years ago when they were serving as Yulin Zhonglang in Beijing. At that time, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were already handsome young men.
He's a man, he should be an adult now...
Yuan Shao smiled slightly, summoned a Cangtou outside Hou Li's gate, and asked him to bring his three sons.
As expected by Gai Jun, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were dressed in wide robes, with virtuous crowns on their heads, indicating that they were adults. However, compared with the beauty in their youth, although the two adults could not be said to be unattractive in appearance, they were not.
He was not handsome at all, but was severely compared to his third brother Yuan Shang, who had his hair tied next to him. Yuan Shang was slender and strong, and his appearance was extremely beautiful. He had a lot of the style of his father Yuan Benchu in the past.
The mother of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi was the daughter of the scholar leader "Li Yuanli, a model in the world". She died of illness during the disaster of the party. The mother of Yuan Shang was the sister of Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou.
Gai Jun did not pay much attention to his third son, Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang had Yuan Shao's model but not his spirit. The one who got his spirit was Yuan Tan. Since he was the eldest son of Yuan Shao and the grandson of the party leader Li Ying, it was easy for him to win the party.
He was very popular, and he began to assist Yuan Shao in receiving guests at the age of ten. He was experienced and practiced at a young age, which left a deep impression on Gai Jun. After seeing each other for five years, Gai Jun found that he was calmer. His second son Yuan Xi was not bad either.
, is also a good person, but slightly inferior to Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan's courtesy name is Xiansi, and Yuan Xi's courtesy name is Xianyi. They are not much younger than Gai Jun, but because of their father's relationship, they call Gai Jun Shishu with a respectful attitude. Gai Jun sits high on the mat and nods lightly, not feeling anything.
Similarly, he has been called uncle by Gai Yin, who is three years older than him, for more than ten years and has long been used to it.
The three elders chatted about family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs. Yuan Tan rarely spoke, but every time he spoke, he pointed to the key points, which always made people's eyes shine. However, Yuan Xi never spoke, and always sat quietly and listened to everyone's conversation.
Among the three sons, Yuan Shang is the most open-minded and talks freely, so he is obviously very favored by Yuan Shao. I have always liked sons who look exactly like me. It is human nature.
Gai Jun's drinking capacity is indeed far less than before. He felt dizzy after just half a stone of wine. Yuan Shao and Xu You laughed at him, especially the latter. When he was in the capital, he was drunk by Gai Jun.
Fifty times if not a hundred times. Today the two of them turned around and Xu You started to make Gai Jun miserable.
During this period, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi left one after another. The former was young and the latter was not good at drinking. Only his eldest son Yuan Tan stayed with him.
Yuan Shao was also a little drunk, so he took Yuan Tan's hand and said, "Xiansi, the national thief Dong Zhuo killed my Yuan family in the capital, and you are extinct from your father. I want to adopt you to him, okay?" Yuan Tan followed his father.
That is, the eldest son of Yuan Feng and the eldest brother of Yuan Shu, the servant Yuan Ji.
Even outsiders Gai Jun and Xu You were shocked by this incident, not to mention the person involved, Yuan Tan. He tried hard to maintain composure on his face, but his pale face, heavy breathing, etc. betrayed his true thoughts. After a long time, Yuan Tan took a deep breath.
After taking a breath, he calmed down his turbulent emotions and said respectfully: "Why do I need my son's opinion on this matter? It's all up to my father to make the decision."
"Yes." Yuan Shao patted his son's hand and said, "Go down."
Looking at Yuan Tan's slightly absent-minded back, Yuan Shao's eyes were extremely deep.
Gai Jun was a little weird at first, but when he saw Yuan Shao's appearance, he suddenly understood and said, "Brother has high hopes for Xian Si."
Yuan Shao is the eldest son of Yuan Fengshu. After his birth, he was adopted by his deceased uncle Yuan Cheng. Yuan Shao, who had gone through many hardships in his childhood, worked step by step and eventually became a scholar leader. Now Yuan Shao adopts his eldest son Yuan Tan to his elder brother Yuan Ji in the hope of his son.
Like himself, he relied on his own talents to carve out a world, rather than just a second-generation ancestor waiting to die. For example, Yuan Shu is still nesting in Nanyang, with less than 10,000 soldiers, and can't do anything to help. It's so disappointing.
"I just wonder if he can understand my heart?" Yuan Shao withdrew his gaze and drank the wine silently.
----------------------------------
Yuan Shao came to Hanoi County with the title of Leader of the Kwantung Alliance on his head. He urgently needed to make his voice heard. He first accepted the system as the commander of the chariot and cavalry general Sili Xiaowei (the so-called "acceptance" means to act at will according to the emperor's will. To put it bluntly, it means that everyone will not
Listen to the emperor, Dong Zhuo, and obey his orders. Dou Rong once did this at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.) The princes of Guandong were appointed as generals, such as Cao Cao, the captain of the cavalry school, as general Fenwu, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, as general Polu, and Bao Xindi
Bao Tao served as General Bi, etc., and even Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, was not spared... The reason for doing this was to put everyone under his cavalry general for easy command.
Secondly, Yuan Shao organized a coalition to launch a tentative attack on Dong Zhuo. The expected goal was to capture Chenggao and Xuanmen Pass (Hulao Pass?), but it was not easy to choose who would be the commander. Shangshu Zheng Tai was currently undercover in Beijing.
At the beginning of the year, in order to let the jujube allies gain a foothold and prevent Dong Zhuo from launching an attack, they once said that the elder Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, could not sit in the hall; Kong Miaoqing, the governor of Yuzhou, talked about high things and boasted about others; the descendants of Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, were from the clan.
, self-willed... He scolded the Kwantung princes all over. Although he meant to dissuade Dong Zhuo, what he said was indeed true. None of the Kwantung princes knew how to fight...
Yuan Shao looked around and picked Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei and Polu General. Bao Xin was a rare man with military talent in Guandong Prefecture. He was a former cavalry captain. He was ordered by the general to return to his hometown to recruit troops. When he returned, he happened to meet him.
When Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, he suggested that Yuan Shao kill him, which showed that he dared to confront Dong Zhuo. Moreover, when the Kwantung Allied Forces raised their troops in the first month, he recruited 20,000 troops, 700 cavalry, and more than 5,000 baggage. His strength was outstanding. The deputy commander did his duty and assigned Fenwu.
General Cao Cao was in charge.
To be honest, Yuan Shao actually likes Cao Cao more. After all, the latter participated in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion and is more suitable to be the commander of an army than Bao Xin. Unfortunately, his current situation is not good. He is only a general under Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu. Yuan Shao is afraid
Everyone was dissatisfied.
Bao Xin admired Cao Cao's talents very much and willingly gave up his position as coach and listened to his command. Everyone was happy in the end.
Bao Xin sent 20,000 troops, leader Yuan Shao supported 10,000, Cao Cao sent 5,000 troops, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, gave 3,000 soldiers, and Xiaolian Weizi was in charge.
, ride two thousand.
Here, Cao Cao and others decided to swear to the west three days later, that is, March 10, the first year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty (AD 190). Gai Jun was also preparing to leave Chaoge and return to Yewang. However, at this moment he received a call
An urgent letter came from Bingzhou. After reading it, I was immediately dumbfounded. Zhufang Zhufang in Bingzhou gathered tens of thousands of horses and suddenly rushed out, heading straight into Wuyuan and Xihe counties.
Seeing Yuan Shao's suspicious eyes, Xu You also looked surprised. Gai Jun smiled bitterly and swore that this was definitely not a trick he deliberately played to fool Yuan Shao.
Gai Jun was so worried that Ma Teng, the Xiongnu lieutenant general, had only taken office this year and had only three thousand cavalry. As for Geng Zhi, the Liao general, although he had five thousand soldiers, he was just a waste. Ma Teng could not support him alone, let alone
Whether attacking the barbarians can suppress the rebellious Xiongnu is still questionable.
The Zhuhus must have learned that he was marching south in a big way, leaving the Xiongnu Zhonglang's generals with a serious shortage of troops, so they took the opportunity to fight out. Who revealed this news to them?
Gai Jun first thought of the Xiongnu Huchuquan Chanyu, with whom Gai Jun had a feud as a harmful brother, and then Dong Zhuo, but Gai Jun quickly dismissed him from his mind, and the time was not right. Who else is worthy of doubt? Geng, the general of Liao Dynasty.
Zhi? It’s not like the wealthy Bingzhou clan whose salt interests have been harmed. Hu Lei is plundering everywhere. What’s the benefit to them? Gai Jun shook his head and objected again.
Gai Jun thought about it and thought that the Xiongnu Huchuquan Shanyu was the most suspected. If it were him, Ma Teng would be in danger. He hoped that he could survive until the reinforcements of Bao Chu, the commander of Shangjun, and Bian Bing, the commander of Xihe, but Gai Jun was not sure
Don't hold out much hope for this.
There was a fire in the backyard. As a shepherd of Bingzhou, Gai Jun could not stay in Hanoi no matter what. He had to rush back as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. Yuan Shao was inconvenient to express this clearly, but Xu You had no scruples in this regard and expressed concern about Gai Jun's departure.
After Gai Jun calmed down, he had already thought of a countermeasure. He returned with 20,000 horses. Huang Zhong, the lieutenant of the Dian army, and Zhang Yang, the captain of Li Feng, led 10,000 cavalry to stay with the Yewang. This not only reassured Yuan Shao, but also
Keep the interests he gained in Hanoi and get the best of both worlds. In addition, Gai Yin and Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops in Hedong did not move and continued to exert pressure on Dong Zhuo.
Xu You breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, knowing that this was the limit of what Gai Jun could do, and Yuan Shao also felt satisfied.
On the day of the breakup, Gai Jun, full of sadness, bid farewell to Chen Lin. Feng Ji and others grabbed Yuan Shao's hand and said, "Brother, don't worry. After I put down the rebellion, I will go south again and cooperate with my brother to get rid of Dong Zhuo."
"I'm waiting for the day when Ziying comes back." Yuan Shao said with a smile, looking confident.
Xu You rarely put away his playful smile and said solemnly: "Ziying, take care."
Gai Jun said in astonishment: "What's your expression? It's not a separation between life and death, I will be back soon." After saying that, he clasped his fists and turned around in a circle, bid farewell to everyone, jumped on his horse, and flew away under the protection of more than a hundred elite knights.
.
----------------------------------
It’s over 4,000 words, so I’m going to rant.
Historical records indicate that the princes of Guandong did not dare to attack Dong Zhuo, so Cao Cao attacked alone and was defeated by Xu Rong in Xingyang. However, "Jiuzhou Spring and Autumn" records: "Not long after, Yuan, Cao Ergong and General Zhuo fought in Xingyang and were defeated," indicating that Yuan Shao participated in this event.
War. History books have always tried their best to tell everyone that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had nothing to do with each other. But what about the fact? Before Cao Cao took the emperor hostage, he was always counted as Yuan Shao's subordinate. This could not be hidden no matter how hard it was.
In addition, military strength is also an issue. Cao Cao said in the article "Rangxian Ziming Benzhi" that only a few thousand people participated in the battle at that time. However, history clearly records that Cao Cao had 5,000 soldiers, and Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, gave 3,000 soldiers.
Bao Xin had 20,000 soldiers, 700 cavalry, and more than 5,000 chariots, which totaled nearly 30,000 people.
Therefore, according to my speculation, in the first month of the first month, the Kwantung Jujube Alliance was formed, in the second month, Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and in the third month, Yuan Shao formed an alliance with Zhangshui, but Han Fu sent them to Hanoi to organize a tentative attack by the Kwantung Allied Forces.
Han Fu is really both incompetent and shameless. There is no way to describe this person. Really. In my opinion, it was too easy for him to commit suicide with a carving knife in the toilet.
Writing a book is also about venting. I don’t know if making complaints will affect everyone’s mood.
