Two hundred and fiftieth IX soldiers sent to Jizhou
Chapter 259: Troops sent to Jizhou
"Wentai, do you still have the ambition to challenge Dong?"
Sun Jian poured a glass into the case and said with emotion: "Although Jian is defeated, his ambition to eliminate thieves for the country has not been lost."
Yuan Shu put his palms on his hands and smiled and said: "It's great that Wentai has just received the news that Kong (伷) Gongxu died of illness. There is no owner in Yuzhou now. I will appoint Wentai as the governor of Yuzhou to ask for Dong Zi's use. You and I, brothers, each have their own territory." In a big state, the world cannot be settled."
Sun Jian was stunned...
Not only Sun Jian, but everyone in the hall was instantly petrified. This news was so shocking.
Kong Niao died of illness, leaving Yuzhou without an owner. This was a big fat piece of meat. Of course Yuan Shu would not let it go. However, the Three Mutual Laws of the Han Dynasty stipulated that no one from this state could serve as the governor of this state. In other words, Yuan Shu, together with the Yuan clan and local confidants, all There is no way to become the governor of Yuzhou, so you can only use someone from outside the state.
As for why he chose Sun Jian, Yuan Shu made the decision after careful consideration. First of all, Sun Jian was a rare good general. Although he had just been defeated by Dong Jun, to be honest, there was no one in Jingzhou who could compare with him, and Sun Jian was so If you have the ambition to challenge Dong, you can use his power. Secondly, Sun Jian was of low origin and ruthless. He was good at killing the governor of Jingzhou, Wang Rui of Langye, the governor of Nanyang, and Zhang Zi of Yingchuan. The latter was a famous scholar in Yuzhou. Sun Jian must not be popular with the scholars in Yuzhou, so that he could control it. Yuzhou. Thirdly, Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance against Dong. He is responsible for the control and has the power of appointment. He will definitely intervene in Yuzhou. If he appoints Sun Jian, he will completely tie Sun Jian to his carriage. Fourthly, Yuan Shao will do whatever he wants in the name of the leader of the alliance. Establishing cronies, generals of hussars, and the governors of Bingzhou Gaijun, Da Sima, the governor of Youzhou Liu Yu, the governor of Jizhou Han Fu, the governor of Yanzhou Liu Dai, and the governor of Yangzhou Chen Wen are all the same. They are alone, Sun Jian and the governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian is a fellow from Yangzhou. The two went to the battlefield in Western Xinjiang together and had a close friendship. It happened that he used Sun Jian's hand to draw Tao Qian into his army. In this way, he had the land of three states, enough to compete with Yuan Shao and his cronies. Of course, there are also fifth and sixth... I won’t list them all in detail here.
It's really hard for Yuan Shu to think so much after drinking more than a stone's worth of wine.
"What did Yuan Gonglu say? He wanted to give Yuzhou to me? Is he crazy?" Sun Jian couldn't believe his ears.
Yuan Shu grabbed Sun Jian's arm tightly and said jokingly: "Why, Wentai is not happy to be in Yuzhou?"
"General, are you serious about what you said?" The corners of Sun Jian's eyes twitched slightly, proving that he was not at peace in his heart.
Yuan Shu was displeased when he heard this and said, "Who does Wentai think I, Yuan Gongdao, am?"
Sun Jian suppressed the turbulence in his heart, and Su Rong clasped his fists and said: "General, don't blame me. I am so happy that it fell from the sky. I don't dare to believe it."
Yuan Shu laughed loudly and said: "What does a mere state count? Wentai, you have to look further, look further... You and I will join forces to kill the Dong thief and welcome the emperor again. Then the whole world will be Yes..." Before he could finish his words, servant Yuan Liu coughed from behind. Yuan Shu looked startled and immediately realized that his words were too explicit.
These words may be too explicit in other people's ears, but Sun Jian didn't show anything unusual.
Yuan Shu knew that this was not the place for conversation, so he excused himself because he was drunk. Everyone in the hall had their own concerns and stood up to say goodbye. Soon, Sun Jian also left. The excuse was of course because he was too drunk. Any idiot could see what was going on.
When Sun Jian entered the secret room, Yuan Shu was drinking tea. Tea in the Han Dynasty once appeared in the name of medicine. Because it had the effect of relieving hangover and refreshing the mind, it gradually became a daily drink for people. The trend of drinking tea was especially popular in Bashu and Jingchu. The middle principle is rare.
Yuan Shu took a sip of tea and asked, "Although the tea is bitter, it is very good for relieving hangovers. Can Wentai bring some?"
Sun Jian shook his head. After staying in Jingnan for two years, he still couldn't get used to its strange and bitter taste.
Yuan Shu did not force it, and said: "If Yuan Benchu learns that Kong Gongxu has died, he will definitely come to seize Youzhou. Wentai should take action early and grasp the overall situation of Yuzhou as soon as possible."
Sun Jian couldn't wait to go now. The problem was that he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know where to start. "General, what do you think?"
Yuan Shu was obviously well-informed and said: "The seat of Yuzhou is Peiguo Qiao County, bordering Xuzhou to the east and Yangzhou to the south. The location is too remote for the purpose of challenging Dong."
"..." Sun Jian was convinced.
"Yingchuan and Runan in Yuzhou are close to Nanyang. I will send people to help you take over these two counties first. Runan, the hometown of Shu, has a population of more than two million. It is not inferior to Nanyang, the southern capital of the Han Dynasty. It occupies half of Yuzhou.
The name is a county, which is also a real state. Yingchuan is adjacent to Henan Yin, and there is a danger of fighting with Dong Zhuo's army at any time. According to Wentai's opinion, the Yuzhou Governor's Department should be located in Runan, or Yingchuan?" After that,
Yuan Shu glanced at Sun Jian and continued to drink tea with his head down.
"Yingchuan." Sun Jian said without thinking.
"Zhuang Zai Wen Tai"
Yuan Shu ordered his younger brother Yuan Yin to be summoned. Yuan Yin was named heir. He was more than thirty years old, more than seven feet tall, with a jade tree facing the wind, and a handsome appearance. The Yuan family in Runan was a family that was condemned by heaven. Most of the people who came from here were like this.
His appearance makes others angry.
This younger brother is not the son of the three brothers Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Wei. This was the case in the Han Dynasty. Even if they were ten or twenty generations apart, they would still call them brothers. Of course, Yuan Yin was not that far apart. He and Yuan Shu
They are still within three generations, so they can be regarded as serious and real relatives.
Yuan Shu took Yuan Yin's hand and said: "Chengsi, when you return to the family this time, you must convince the elders and brothers in the family to fully support Wentai."
"Where is Brother Bei..." Yuan Yin said hesitantly. Brother Bei refers to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shu angrily laughed and said, "Are you mine or his?"
Yuan Yin was speechless and sighed secretly in his heart. It was unclear whether it was the Yuan family in Runan that was lucky or unlucky to have two outstanding figures in one generation.
The next day, Sun Jian and Yuan Yin returned to Luyang with the 5,000 soldiers allocated by Yuan Shu. Sun Jian and more than 2,000 remaining soldiers, a total of more than 7,000 people, entered the Yingchuan border eastward. Luyang city defense was then replaced by the newly promoted
General Wenpin of Zhonglang took over.
--------------------------
The distance between Chaoge in Hanoi and Yingchuan is not much further than Wancheng in Nanyang. However, compared with Yuan Shu's decisive decision and quickly appointing Sun Jian as the governor of Yuzhou, Yuan Shao was much slower on his side. After two days of discussion, he finally decided to Yangzhou
Zhou Ang, the eldest of the three Zhou brothers in Kuaiji, was the governor of Yuzhou.
Zhou Ang crossed the Yellow River south and entered the Chen Kingdom of Yuzhou via Chenliu County of Yanzhou. On the way, he suddenly received the news that Sun Jian had succeeded him as the governor of Yuzhou. He was immediately confused and quickly returned to Chenliu County and wrote to Yuan Shao to report the situation.
Yuan Shao became furious for the second time. The first time was because Yuan Shu killed Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou he appointed, and took charge of Jingzhou for himself. This time, he went even harder to seize Yuzhou. Does he still see me as the leader of the alliance against Dong?
Feng Ji said fiercely: "We must attack Yuan Shu severely." Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance against Dong. He assumed control and acted on behalf of the emperor. He was the only one qualified to appoint prefectures and counties. Yuan Shu's so-called commendation was pure banditry.
Chen Lin shook her head and said: "Yuan Chaqi is the one the world hopes for. Even if the fault lies with Yuan Shu, if brothers attack each other, they will inevitably give others a handle."
Feng Ji said: "If we don't give him some help, he will definitely have to step in when there are vacancies in the state and county in the future."
Xu You said: "Let Zhou (Ang) Zhongren go to Yanzhou Lu State, Chen (Yi) Zishi is there, and Shanyang Prefect Yuan (Yi) Boye will take care of him next to him." Chen Yi and Chen Zishi are the leaders of the party.
The son of Grand Tutor Chen Fan once planned to dethrone the emperor with Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou. Xu You was bored at that time, so he also played with them. When the incident was revealed, Wang Fen committed suicide and Chen Yi fled. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he reversed the case for the party members, and the party
All descendants were given official positions, and Chen Yi was worshiped as the Prime Minister of the Lu State. The south of the Lu State of Yanzhou borders the Pei State of Yuzhou, and Qiao County within the territory is the seat of the Yuzhou Governor's Department.
Yuan Shao held his forehead and said, "Meng De is going too." Cao Cao's home was in Qiao County, Pei State, and he was familiar with the people there.
Cao Cao nodded and asked: "Should I stay in the Lu country honestly or..."
Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said, "Let's not have any conflicts for the time being. Wait until I capture Jizhou."
--------------------------
This winter is really wonderful.
As the New Year approaches, Gai Jun entertains his wife and children while looking at the Central Plains with infinite emotion.
The whole process of the Battle of Hanoi commanded by Huang Zhong was perfect. He repelled Dong Zhuo at a small cost of hundreds of lives, and gained hundreds of thousands of people in eight counties of Hanoi. Unfortunately, Lieutenant General Zhang Yang died...
To be honest, Zhang Yang's death scared him, especially when he heard that he was wounded several times by Lu Bu in battle and died of serious injuries. Historically, although Zhang Yang also died because of Lu Bu, the meaning was completely opposite. He was trying to save his life and was besieged by Cao Cao.
Lu Bu was killed by his subordinates.
In history, it should have been a model of good brothers who treated each other with sincerity, but it evolved into this result due to his own intervention.
Does nature play tricks on people?
Zhang Yang had two sons, aged ten and eighteen. Gai Jun ordered Yunzhong Prefect Lehe Haosheng to take care of them until they became adults.
The Battle of Nanyang between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu was a battle that never happened in history. Gai Jun heard two names. One was Wenpin. It can be said that he was one of the few people in Jingzhou who could be called a famous general. The other name was very impressive.
He was surprised that Xianling's false king Yeli was still alive and joined Yuan Shu's disciples, helping Yuan Shu defeat Fan Chou's tens of thousands of horses.
The Yuzhou battle between Yuan Shu and his eldest brother Yuan Shao ended with the latter giving in, but Gai Jun knew that this was only temporary. Within half a year, the two Yuan would definitely go to war, officially kicking off the era of the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony.
As soon as the first lunar month passed, Gai Jun first blocked the roads in Hengshan. Not only people, but also rats were not allowed to pass through. He assembled the Tiger Shooting and Luodiao Second Battalion of 3,000, 10,000 cavalry, and 27,000 infantry, for a total of 40,000 people.
Excluding Beidi, Hedong, and Hanoi where heavy troops are gathered, this is the maximum limit that Gai Jun can mobilize at present. The army went south to Shangdang County in batches for the purpose of conquering Jizhou. The generals who participated in the war had Zhenwei.
Zhonglang General Pang De, Zhechong Captain Xu Huang, Shangdang Captain Hu Feng, Xianden Colonel Hu Che'er, Huaiyi Colonel Zhang Baiqi. In addition, he replaced Shangjun Captain Bao Chu with Beidi Captain Guo Rui, with Bao
When he came out to trap Chen Duwei, he and Hu Che'er, the captain who first ascended to the school, both shot tigers and fell into the second battalion of Diao.
Since food and grass had been hoarded in Huguan as early as last year, there was no shortage of civilians. There were all Black Mountain people nearby. As the last infantry arrived at Huguan, the army was surrounded by Huaiyi Captain Zhang Baiqi and three thousand original Black Mountain troops.
