Chen Wang Liu Chong and Chen Guo Xiang Xu Tuan were shocked when they heard that Cao Cao and Zhou Zhe's troops had entered the country. They hurriedly mobilized thousands of powerful crossbows to station at Langtang Canal in the northeastern suburbs of Chen County, where Chen Guozhi was.
Huangfu Song, under the leadership of Gai Jun, saw that Yuzhou was already unstoppable, so he led his troops to the north, hoping to make peace with the Yellow Turbans of Yanzhou. They passed by Chen State, but crossed the Langtang Canal and fell into a desperate situation surrounded by water. They became a turtle in a urn and eventually became the Han Dynasty.
Army encirclement and annihilation.
Cao Cao and Zhou Zhe sent people to inform Chen State that they were taking the road to attack Yingchuan this time and were not intending to become enemies of Chen State. They passed through Ku County and Wuping and headed west, avoiding Chen County in the southwest.
After learning the opponent's purpose, Chen Wang Liu Chong and Chen Guo Xiang Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to take it lightly. Who knows if the other party deliberately said this to make them relax their vigilance and attack Chen Guo secretly.
Passing Gulingju, Cao Cao rode his horse up a small hillock and stared at the plain in the distance, lost in thought. In the past, it was here that he fought side by side with Gai Ying and Sun Wentai, killing the Yellow Turban wizard Bo Cai and capturing the Yellow Turban Moth in one battle.
There were more than 100,000 thieves. At that time, it could be said that there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, and it was so cruel that it was unbearable to witness. Even after seven years of erosion, the place is still permeated with the bleak battlefield atmosphere.
"..." Cao Cao was full of emotions. At that time, he was only 30 years old. He paid homage to the Cavalry Captain, weighed two thousand stones, and led an army alone. And Gai Ying was twenty-three years old and was a Sima of another department. Sun Wentai was the same age as him.
, Ren Zuojun Sima, among the three, he has the highest official position. Unexpectedly, a few years have passed, Gai Jun quickly rose to the top, and became the first general in the world. He was promoted to the general of hussars and the governor of Bingzhou. Sun Wentai suffered many setbacks in his official career, but he still managed to
Taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's disaster, General Polu led the governor of Yuzhou.
Cao Cao looked at himself again, he was so embarrassed
However, this decline will soon change...
Cao Cao and Zhou Zhe became suspicious late, and with the speed of their troops, they crossed the Chen State and entered Yingchuan County at the fastest speed. No one, including Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Pei State Prime Minister Yuan Zhong, expected it.
Cao Cao and Zhou Zhe dared to risk the world's disgrace and send troops to Yuzhou. Naturally, Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan, did not expect that he followed Sun Jian to attack Dong and was not in the territory now. The only people in charge were Gong Cao, Wu Guan and other county officials, and the soldiers were less than ten thousand.
There are several, and most of them are new recruits who have never seen a battle formation.
What's even more terrible is that several letters of distress have been sent to Runan Governor Xu Xuan, but so far there has been no news.
There were no elite soldiers in Yingchuan and no reinforcements from outside. As you can imagine, Sun Jian's base camp, Yangcheng County, declared its fall after resisting for only three days. All the food, crops and money in Yuzhou fell into the hands of Cao Cao and Zhou Zhe.
Jingzhou, Nanyang County, Wancheng is the administrative seat.
Yuan Shu was in a very good mood, very good... After waiting for a long time, the five thousand Youzhou cavalry finally arrived in Nanyang. With this cavalry, his strength will undoubtedly be greatly strengthened. On that day, he held a banquet for the Youzhou army commander Xian Yu
Huihe and Gongsun Zan's general Fan Fang. By coincidence, news of Cao Cao and Zhou Zan's invasion of Yuzhou and the attack on Pei Kingdom was sent to them.
Yuan Shu froze on the spot, still in disbelief for a long time, and murmured to himself: "Wentai fought bloody battles with Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong, and Yuan Shao actually sent troops to attack him..." Yuan Shu's eyes swept across the stunned Zhu Wenwu in the hall, and he jumped suddenly
He stood up, kicked over the food table, raised his arms and shouted: "Is Yuan Shao crazy? Does he know that doing this will destroy the country? Isn't he afraid that the spit of the world will drown him? Bastard, bastard, bastard...
"
Xian Yuhui and Fan Fang secretly looked at each other. The former was surprised, but the latter was happy. The purpose of his trip was to sow discord between the two Yuan. Unexpectedly, before he could take action, the two Yuan had already started fighting.
Yuan Shu was so angry that his forehead and the veins on his neck were exposed. His handsome appearance immediately became extremely ferocious, and he said incoherently: "Yuan Shao, the scum of the Yuan family, is a shame to the Yuan family... No, he is not a son of the Yuan family, he is a slave of the Yuan family.
Slave, slave, slave, slave..." He pointed at his younger brother Yuan Yin and said: "Chengsi, go back and tell the people in the clan that anyone who dares to help Yuan Shao in the future will not recognize him as a slave.
Descendants of the Yuan family."
Yuan Yinying promised. Regardless of right or wrong, this time, Brother Bei went too far. In front of Sheji, any dispute cannot be temporarily put aside. Why is it like this...
Yuan Shu's anger subsided a little, so he ordered his servants to clear up the tableware on the floor and put the table in a new place. After sitting down, he said to Xian Yuhui, "It is unfortunate for our family. This disaster has made you both laugh."
Xian Yuhui's smile was stiff and he didn't know what to answer. Fan Fangze said without hesitation: "The general is devoted to the country, but Yuan Shao is holding back... However, the general has known Yuan Shao for decades, how could he not know that he is a despicable person?"
?The general was too open-minded in the past, and he repeatedly tolerated Yuan Shao's reckless behavior, which led to today's disaster. Last year, Yuan Shao wrote to my general Gongsun several times, saying that he would go south to fight against thieves and share wealth. He didn't want him to turn his back and deny the people after he seized Jizhou.
My general drove him away...".
Yuan Shu sighed and said: "Yes, Gu made a mistake in the past..." Then he turned to everyone and said: "Yuan Shao used his weapons in a big way, and Gu had no choice but to fight. How should we deal with it now?"
During the war, Kuai Yue took the lead and said: "For the present plan, we must quickly send troops eastward to Runan."
Yuan Shu nodded, looked at Zhonglang General Ji Ling, and asked: "How many troops can be mobilized immediately?"
Ji Ling thought without thinking: "Nanyang has 50,000 soldiers, and 30,000 soldiers can be mobilized. Although these soldiers are not as brave and good at fighting as General Sun's men, they have been practicing in Jingnan for half a year, and they are far better than Cao Cao's and Zhou Zhe's soldiers."
Yuan Shu frowned tightly. Thirty thousand people could not gain an overwhelming advantage. Once the battle lasted for a long time, the prosperous Yuzhou would be reduced to ruins. This was unacceptable to him. He said: "Too few, it is better to leave Wen Tai
Bring it back..."
Don't drive, Liu Xian hurriedly advised: "General, please don't conquer Yuzhou. You must not move lightly, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain."
It was a good thing that Liu didn't mention it first. When he mentioned Yuan Shu's hard-pressed anger, he surged up again and shouted: "King Qin's failure is entirely Yuan Shao's responsibility."
"General..." Liu Xian wanted to persuade again, and Cai Mao, the prefect of Cangwu in Jiaozhou from a distance, spoke in advance: "If you don't transfer General Sun, let's not talk about the shortage of troops. There are two battlefields and an army of hundreds of thousands. Where will the food and fodder come from?
?This year, Yuzhou and Jingzhou have already found it very difficult to supply General Sun with supplies to conquer Dong Zhuo. Now that Yuzhou is in a state of war, using Jingzhou alone to support two battlefields is nothing short of a fantasy."
"..." Liu Xian was dumbfounded. As the leader of the officials, he naturally knew how much grain stock there was in Jingzhou's granary. Cai Mao's words were absolutely true. Jingzhou was indeed unable to supply two battlefields.
Yuan Shu looked at everyone in the hall and saw that no one had any doubts. He immediately said: "It's not that I am not enthusiastic about King Qin, but Yuan Shao is forcing people too much. I ordered General Sun to return as soon as possible to bring peace to Cao Cao and Zhou Zhe."
"..." Liu Yuzi, Liu He, and Xian Yuhui looked at each other and sighed. King Qin now seems to be in a difficult situation. He only hopes that he will not be involved in the dispute between the two Yuan Dynasties. Unfortunately, this is obviously an extravagant hope. How could Yuan Shu let go of the data?
Qianyouzhou's sudden cavalry is not needed. If the two of them dare to hesitate at all, the one will be placed under house arrest or the other will die. It is no exaggeration. Yuan Shu can really do such a thing. He is trapped in the quagmire of Nanyang. He really can't help himself...
…
Liangzhou, Beidi County, with Fuping as its administrative seat.
Gai Xun was over fifty years old. He was a light sleeper and had something on his mind. He didn't go to bed until late at night to approve official documents, and he woke up before dawn. Gai Xun turned his head and stared at Ma Zhao, who was sleeping soundly on the pillow in the darkness.
Her eyes were full of tenderness. Every time she stayed up late to approve official documents, there would always be porridge on her desk. Although she always said that her slave could do these things and let her go to rest first, she never listened. No matter how late it was, she would just come back.
When he arrived at the couch, there was always a hand on his body, undressing him.
Gai Xun stretched out his hand and gently stroked the wrinkles on his wife's face. When Ma Zhao was young, she was known as a talented girl in Youfufeng, and she was favored by her father, Zuma Rong. In addition to her talent, her beauty was also worthy of being praised by the country.
Color. When Ma Rong personally said that he wanted to take Ma as his wife, Gai Xun was overjoyed. He said that a humble man could marry such a beautiful woman. He thanked God for treating him so well. In a flash, more than thirty years later, his wife's appearance was beautiful.
Although he was gradually declining, he never thought about taking a concubine. With a wife like this, he had nothing else to ask for.
He once lamented that having a son like this, what more could a husband ask for? However, Gai Jun's actions in the past two years have made his heart extremely conflicted. On the one hand, seeing his son achieve things that are difficult for others to achieve in their lives at such a young age.
As a father, he is naturally proud of his achievements. However, Gai Jun has also done many wrong things and is on the verge of a threat...
Gai Xun let out a long sigh, gathered his mood, got down and walked into the study next door, lit the Feiyan bronze lamp, knelt down on the cattail mat and read through a letter. These documents were all approved by Zhang Ji, his final decision.
whether.
This Zhang Ji was a young man from a poor family who was promoted by Gai Xun in his early years when he was appointed Zuo Feng Yi. He happened to be the same age as his daughter Gai Liao. If Gai Liao had not been interested in Yang Aruo, Gai Xun would have betrothed his daughter to him. This shows how much he appreciates him.
meaning.
In the third year of Zhongping (AD 186), Zhang Ji, who had just reached the age of 18 when Gai Xun was elected, was named Xiaolian. Zhang Ji entered the palace as a man, and later in Hongnong, Jing Zhaoyin served as the county magistrate. He abandoned his official position and returned home last year.
After Gai Xun heard about it, he immediately recruited him under his command and granted him the title of chief historian. As for the former chief historian of the Northern Territory, Liang Gu, a descendant of the settled Liang clan, had made great contributions to politics. Gai Jun happened to appoint Nong at that time.
Duwei, Wang Yi, a famous scholar in the North, was the prefect of Dingxiang in Bingzhou, so he was worshiped as the Captain of Agriculture and managed the farming affairs in the North on his behalf.
Unknowingly, the sky brightened, and Gai Xun put down his pen, got up and walked around to relax his muscles.
At this time, Ma Zhaoye had woken up and started busy preparing breakfast for her husband. The two sat across from each other and enjoyed the meal in silence. After the meal, Ma Zhao poured him a glass of water, thinking it was smooth, and laughed softly: "Xiaohe
Will Er and A Ruo arrive today?"
"Yes, we'll arrive today." Gai Xun's eyes narrowed, and his fingers subconsciously rubbed the wall of the cup, speaking meaningfully.
Having been together for decades, Ma Zhao can be said to be the person who knows Gai Xun best in the world. This is definitely not the expression that a son-in-law should have when he is about to see his daughter. Something must have happened to him, so he couldn't help but ask: "Master Fu, what's wrong?"
