Zhang Yun was now in a dilemma. At this time, Lu Su asked to see him, and Zhang Yun asked, "Who is Lu Su?"
One of them said: "This man is very famous. He once gave away money and sold land in the countryside to help the poor and make friends with wise men. For this reason, he was deeply supported by the villagers."
Zhang Yun frowned, wondering if this person was here to deliver food, so he said, "Invite him in."
Lu Su came in, saluted Zhang Yun, and said, "I have met General Zhang."
"Come from afar first. I don't know what I need to ask for help." Zhang Yun asked Lu Su to sit down and asked straight to the point what his purpose was.
Lu Su said: "On the order of General Sun, I came here to persuade you to surrender."
Zhang Yun's expression changed and he shouted: "How brave, you are actually Sun Ce's lobbyist. Where are you? Take him down quickly."
Seven or eight swordsmen and axemen rushed in front of Lu Su. Lu Su was not afraid, but laughed and said: "The general's death is imminent. Why do you have to do this?"
Zhang Yun's face changed, and he sneered: "I have thirty thousand Xiangfan naval forces and hundreds of ships. How can I die if I cut off the river?"
Lu Su said: "Doesn't the general know it well? Liu Jingzhou has been captured by Cao's army, Xiangfan has been lost, and the general has lost his food and grass. He can't advance, let alone retreat, so why doesn't he have to die?"
Zhang Yun said in a deep voice: "I have sent an envoy to Xiangfan to urge Duke Cao for food. Once Duke Cao's food and grass arrive, this crisis will naturally be resolved." Zhang Yun is not a fool. After running out of food, he did send people there.
Xiangfan is said to be a reminder of food supply, but actually it is a metaphor for his willingness to surrender to Cao Cao.
Lu Su laughed and said: "It's a pity that it's too late. It will take at least half a moon for Cao Cao to transport food. Water far away cannot save fire near. Doesn't the general know this truth?"
Zhang Yun was silent, how could he not know that the food and grass in the water village could only last for four or five days at most. If Sun Ce hadn't known about the changes in Xiangfan, he might have been able to save food and live a little longer. But when Sun Ce learned this news, he would definitely do his best.
Launch an attack. At that time, we cannot let the soldiers starve to resist Sun Ce.
Lu Su said: "General Sun is a hero. He went to Jiangdong with a thousand troops and horses. Now he wants to seize Jiangxia and kill Huang Zu to avenge his father. General Zhang and Huang Zu are at odds with each other here, and he is already hated by General Sun. If this is the case,
When you know your way back, you are willing to surrender to General Sun. General Sun will definitely ignore the past grudges. When Huang Zu is killed, General Zhang will be the first to succeed, how about that?"
Zhang Yun is quite hesitant. In his opinion, since Liu Jingzhou is no longer here, surrendering to Cao Cao is naturally the best choice. But now he has no choice but to do it. He also feels powerless. Now he can't advance and can't defend. If he retreats,
Jiangdong's army is chasing after him. I'm afraid it's no different from the disastrous defeat. Now Zhang Yun has no way to go. He looked at the generals, and the generals nodded their heads. Most of them were wise. When they arrived,
For this reason, I am afraid I have no choice but to seek refuge with Sun Ce.
Zhang Yun gave a wry smile: "I'd like to trouble Mr. Lu to report back to General Sun, and I'm willing to surrender."
Lu Su hurriedly returned to Jiangdong Junshui Village. Sun Ce had been waiting uneasily. When he saw Lu Su coming back, he immediately summoned him. Only then did he know that Lu Su had lived up to his command. Zhou Yu immediately recommended Lu Su to Sun Ce, saying that he was talented and could be his assistant.
Minister. He also suggested that Sun Ce should search for talents like Lu Su in many ways to achieve great achievements and not let them disperse to other places.
Only then did Sun Ce pay attention to this person. He talked with Lu Su and was very happy. When the guests stood up and left, Lu Su also left. But after a while, Sun Ce quietly brought Lu Su back and they shared the couch with each other for a drink. Sun Ce
He said to Lu Su: "Today the Han Dynasty is in danger, and there are clouds in all directions. Since you are favoring me, how can you help me?" Lu Su replied: "In the past, Emperor Gao only wanted to serve the righteous emperor but failed to do so, and Xiang Yu was harmed. Today,
Cao Cao is like Xiang Yu in the past. How can a general become Huan Wen? It's a steal. The Han Dynasty cannot be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated. As a general, the only way is to stand in the east of the Yangtze River to watch the provocations in the world. On such a scale, there is no way.
What do you think? The north is full of many affairs. Because of its many affairs, Huang Zu was wiped out, and Jingzhou was invaded. He took possession of the Yangtze River and established it as an emperor to control the world. This is the cause of the emperor."...
Sun Ce was so happy that he worshiped Lu Su as Zhonglang General. Then he conspired with Zhang Yun to invade Jiangxia, kill Huang Zu, and pay homage to his late father Sun Jian.
Huang Zu was the enemy of Sun Ce who killed his father. In the third year of Emperor Xian's reign, Sun Jian conquered Jingzhou and attacked Liu Biao. Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to meet the enemy between Fan and Deng. Sun Jian defeated him, pursued him across the Han River, and was besieged in Xiangyang. Soon Sun Jian was alone.
When Ma was walking in Xian Mountain, he was shot by Huang Zu's sergeant. From then on, Sun Ce felt ashamed and bent on revenge. Now that his great revenge was avenged, he was naturally overjoyed and recruited the Xiangfan Navy with great momentum.
So he and Zhou Yu divided their forces into two groups and attacked Jingnan and Jiangling respectively.

But he said that Cao Cao had won Xiangfan, and each county in Jingzhou also sent letters of surrender, and he was very confident. At this time, Zhang Yun's envoy came to urge for food, and Cao Cao saw it. After reading Zhang Yun's document, he couldn't help being shocked, and said to his left and right
: "I actually forgot that the Xiangfan Navy has no food. It is too late to raise food now. Zhang Yun will surrender to Sun Ce."
This time Cao Cao brought Xun Yu, and Xun Yu also woke up and frowned in silence.
Xun Yu was Cao Cao's right-hand man. His grandfather was Xun Shu, who was the magistrate of Langling and a famous scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Xun Shu had eight sons, known as the Eight Dragons.
He was afraid of the eunuchs, so he asked Xun Yu to marry the daughter of Tang Heng, the official minister of the imperial court. Because Xun Yu was "rarely talented and famous, he was exempted from ridicule".
He Yong, a famous scholar in Nanyang, was very surprised when he saw Xun Yu and called him: "Wang Zuocaiye." In the first year of Yonghan Dynasty, Xun Yu was promoted as a filial and honest man and appointed as the palace guard. In September, Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor Liu Bian and established the emperor Liu Bian.
In the eleventh month of the Xie Dynasty, Dong Zhuo became Prime Minister. He paid homage to no one, entered the court without joining the court, and went to the palace with swords and shoes. Xun Yu abandoned his official position and returned home. He said to his elders: "Yingchuan is the place where the Four Wars were fought. The world has changed.
It is often attacked by soldiers, so it is better to leave immediately and not stay for a long time." However, many local people are nostalgic for their homeland and are unwilling to leave.
At that time, Han Fu of Mu Tong County in Jizhou sent people to pick up Xunyu, but no one followed him. Xunyu had to move his clan to Jizhou for refuge. After arriving in Jizhou, Jizhou had been acquired by Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao saw Xunyu coming, he treated him as an honored guest.
.Xun Yu's younger brother Xun Chen and fellow commanders Xin Ping and Guo Tu were all under Yuan Shao. However, Xun Yu saw that Yuan Shao "could never achieve great things" so he left Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao. When Cao Cao saw Xun Yu coming to join him, he was overjoyed and said: "My son
Room."
At that time, Dong Zhuo threatened the world. Cao Cao asked Xun Yu about his plan, and Xun Yu said: "Zhuo has become so tyrannical that it will end in chaos and nothing can be done." Later, Dong Zhuo sent Li Jue and others out of Guandong to capture various places and arrived at Yingchuan.
Chen Liu returned. Most of the people in Xunyu Township died in the war.
In the third year of Chuping, Cao Cao led Yanzhou as a herdsman and later became the general of Zhendong. Xun Yu followed him in the campaign as a Sima. Cao Cao marched eastward with Tao Qian, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong taking the opportunity to rebel against Cao in Yanzhou and secretly greeted Lu Bu. At that time, Xun Yu
He Shou Zhang ordered Cheng Yu to guard Juancheng. After Lu Bu arrived, Zhang Miao sent Liu Yi to tell Xun Yu: "General Lu has come to help Cao Jun to attack Tao Qian, and we should urgently provide food for his army." Everyone was confused, but Xun Yu knew his plan.
He immediately ordered the army to strengthen defense and urgently summoned Xiahou Dun, the governor of Dongjun. All the cities in Yanzhou responded to Zhang Miao and joined Lu Bu's camp. At that time, Cao Cao led a large army to go on an expedition. There were very few troops left behind, and many of them colluded with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.
After Xiahou Dun arrived, he took advantage of the night to kill dozens of rebels, and the morale of the army was at peace.
Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, was instigated by Lu Bu and led tens of thousands of people to attack. The army was very frightened. Guo Gong asked to see Xun Yu, and Xun Yu was about to go.
.”
The plan was completed." Xun Yu went out of the city to meet with Guo Gong. Guo Gong saw that Xun Yu had no fear and thought that Juan City was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he led his troops away. Xun Yu made a plan with Cheng Yu and saved Fan and Dong'a. He died in Quan
Three cities. Soon, Cao Cao returned to Puyang and defeated Lu Bu. This time Xun Yu saved Cao Cao again and preserved Cao Cao's foundation. If Cao Cao didn't have Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's desperate efforts to protect the city this time, Cao Cao might be like Liu Bei
, and ended up with a half-life in vain...
Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu's army that invaded Dingtao. He then launched an attack on Lu Bu's generals stationed in Juye. Lu Bu personally rescued him, but was defeated by Cao Cao and retreated. Cao Cao annihilated the Juye defenders and took advantage of the victory to garrison Chengshi.
At this time, Tao Qian, the herdsman of Xuzhou, was dead. After Cao Cao learned about it, he planned to take the opportunity to seize Xuzhou and then return to the army to destroy Lu Bu.
It is enough to defeat the enemy, and it is enough to retreat and hold on, so even if there are difficulties and defeats, it will eventually help the great cause. The general originally took Yanzhou as the first thing to quell the difficulties in Shandong, and the people all returned and were convinced. Jiehe, Ji, is an important place in the world, although it is now in ruins
, it is easy to protect oneself, this is also the general's Guanzhong, Hanoi, and must be determined first. Now that Lu Bu is defeated, if he divides his troops from the east to attack Chen Palace, the palace will not dare to look west, and it will use its leisure to gather the ripe wheat.
Make an appointment with the livestock and grains, and the cloth can be broken in one fell swoop. After breaking the cloth, we will tie up with Yangzhou in the south and jointly attack Yuan Shu, then Linhuai and Si. If you leave the cloth and go east, if you leave more troops, it will be useless. If you leave less troops, the people will protect the city.
, no firewood harvesting is allowed. If Bu takes advantage of the false bandit violence, the people's morale will be in danger. Only Juancheng, Fan, and Wei can be complete, and the rest is not owned by oneself, so there is no Yanzhou. If Xuzhou is uncertain, where should the general return? And even though Tao Qian
Death, Xuzhou is not easy to fall. To punish the defeat in the past, the generals will be afraid and get married, and they will be inseparable. Now the east is harvesting wheat, and the walls must be built to clear the fields for the generals. The generals will not be able to attack, and they will not gain anything, and they will not go out.
In ten days, a hundred thousand people were trapped without fighting. They went forward to attack Xuzhou and carried out the threats and punishments. The children remembered the shame of their fathers and brothers, so they had to defend themselves. If they had no intention of surrender, they could break it, which is not possible.
It is natural to give up one thing and choose the other. It is easy to be easy and small to be easy. It is easy to be safe and easy to be dangerous. It is possible to have power for a while and not to worry about the inherent instability. Now the three are not profitable. I hope the general will consider them carefully. "
Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's advice and gave up his attempt to attack Xuzhou. He seized the opportunity to harvest ripe wheat, store grain and accumulate strength.
Soon, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu with a small number and defeated a large number. Lu Bu abandoned the camp overnight and retreated to Xuzhou. Cao Cao took advantage of the victory to capture Dingtao City, and sent troops to recover the counties in Yanzhou. Yanzhou was peaceful. The victory of this battle was crucial to Cao Cao's future unification.
The great achievements in the north are of great significance, and Xun Yu is indispensable.
In the first year of Jian'an, he followed Cao Cao to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. In July, Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie returned to Luoyang from Chang'an under the escort of Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others. There was a dispute within Cao's army over whether to serve the emperor and establish Xu County as his capital.
.Most people did not agree to welcome Emperor Xian because "Shandong was not peaceful, Han Xian, and Yang Fengxin sent the emperor to Luoyang, and Zhang Yang was connected to the north, so he could not be conquered."
Xun Yu said to Cao Cao: "In the past, Duke Wen of the Jin Dynasty accepted King Xiang of Zhou Dynasty, and the princes followed suit; Emperor Gaozu's eastward expedition became the righteous emperor Zhensu, and the world returned to his heart. Since the emperor Bo Yue, the generals initiated the righteous army, and only used Shandong to disturb them, and they could not get far.
When he went to the right of Guan, he dispatched generals and sent envoys through danger. Although he was facing difficulties outside, his heart was always in the royal family. This is the general's ambition to heal the world. Now the chariot is driving around? The righteous people have the thought of preserving the roots, and the people's sense of the old is increasing.
Sincerely, at this time, serving the Lord to obey the people is a sign of great obedience; being loyal to the public and serving heroes is a sign of great strategy; supporting righteousness to become handsome is a sign of great virtue. Although there are rebellions in the world, they must not be burdened. Ming
"Excuse me. Han Xian and Yang Fengqi dare to do harm! If you don't fix it at the right time, you will have thoughts in all directions. Even if you think about it later, you won't be able to do it."
Cao Cao believed that Xun Yu's words were reasonable, so he responded to the secret summons of Anji general Dong Cheng and personally led the army to Luoyang. He was appointed as Sili Xiaowei, and he welcomed Emperor Xian and moved the capital to Xu County. Cao Cao was named a general and a Marquis of Wuping.
Xun Yu was also promoted to the rank of Minister of the Han Dynasty and served as a minister. This gave Cao Cao a strategic advantage in serving the emperor and commanding the princes, and laid the foundation for the smooth implementation of the subsequent unification war.
This was Xun Yu's strategy that shook the past and shocked the present. It was precisely because Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's advice that he became the emperor in one fell swoop and became the most powerful warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, laying an unbreakable foundation for all future wars...
Xun Yu rarely went out with the army, but "stayed in the middle." Although Cao Cao was fighting abroad, Xun Yu planned all military and state affairs. Cao Cao asked Xun Yu, "Who can advise me on my behalf?" Xun Yu said, "Xun You."
, Zhong Yao.”
After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, Yuan Shao was dissatisfied. At that time, Yuan Shao was in the north. Cao Cao worried about Lu Bu in the east and rejected Zhang Xiu in the south. In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu in the south and returned with a great defeat. Yuan Shao became even more arrogant.
, wrote a letter to Cao Cao, with arrogant words. Cao Cao was furious after reading it, and all the generals said that it was the reason for the disadvantage in the battle. Zhong Yao asked Xun Yu about this, and Xun Yu said: "You are smart and will not blame the past.
He thinks about it”.
After meeting Cao Cao, Cao Cao showed Yuan Shao's letter to Xun Yu and said, "Now we are going to fight for injustice, but we are unable to defeat it. So what?"
, Gou is not the same person, although he is strong and easy to be weak, the survival and death of Liu and Xiang are enough to see. The only one who competes with the public for the world today is Yuan Shaoer. Shaoer is generous on the outside but jealous on the inside.
, only the talents suit, this is how to win. Shao was late and focused on few decisions, and missed the opportunity later. He was unable to handle major events, but was unable to adapt to changes. This is how to win. Shao's imperial army was lenient, and the laws were not established. Although the soldiers were numerous,
, In fact, it is difficult to use. Since the public law is clear, rewards and punishments must be implemented. Even though there are few soldiers, they will fight to the death. This is a military victory. Shao relies on worldly resources and calmly displays his wisdom to gain reputation. Therefore, the few soldiers who are inquisitive and the ones who are easy to ask will often return.
In other words, the public should treat others with utmost benevolence, be sincere and not be vain, be prudent and frugal in one's own conduct, and show no grudges to those who have meritorious services. Therefore, loyal and effective people in the world are willing to use them. This virtue is victorious. The husband assists the emperor with the four victories.
, who dares not to obey when supporting Yi’s conquest? What can he do if Shao is so strong!”
Although Xun Yu's words were a bit too praising for Cao Cao, generally speaking, they are still relatively realistic. He was not confused by superficial phenomena and could grasp the essence of things for analysis, which was not easy.
.
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and Xun Yu also said: "If we don't take Lu Bu first, Hebei will not be easy to control." Cao Cao said: "However, I am confused, and I am afraid that Shao will invade Guanzhong, chaos Qiang, Hu, and lure Shu Han to the south.
With Yan alone, I can resist five-sixths of the world. What can I do as a general?”
Each one must support the people to protect themselves. Now if you offer kindness and send envoys to make peace, even if the stalemate cannot last long, it will be better than the public's security in Shandong, which is enough to not move. Zhong Yao can be assigned to the west, and then the public will have no worries."
At this time, when Cao Cao was interested in Jingzhou, Gao Jin was rising in Xuzhou, which made Cao Cao very worried. However, Guo Jia and Xun Yu wanted Cao Cao to go south to Jingzhou and take the opportunity to expand their territory. Cao Cao adopted their opinions.
, took Xun Yu with him, and now he has captured Xiangfan.
Xun Yu is more like a strategist than a counselor. If he simply makes suggestions, he is not as good as Guo Jia. He is also slightly inferior in terms of quick wit, but his ability to grasp the current situation is better than Guo Jia. Xun Yu closed his eyes
After thinking carefully, his expression changed and he said: "My lord, something bad has happened. Sun Cejun has merged with Zhang Yun and occupied Jiangxia. If they do this, they will definitely not give up. What if they go down the river and occupy Jiangling and Jingnan?"
?”
This sentence just hit Cao Cao's worries. Although the counties of Jingnan and Jiangling have surrendered, if Jiangdong County suddenly appears, those prefects will definitely panic and will most likely fall to Sun Ce's side. Moreover, the land and water speed is faster.
If Jiangdong's army really planned to move down the river, even if Cao's army set out from Xiangfan now, it would probably arrive one step later than Jiangdong's army.
The governors had no choice but to surrender. In this case, what choice would they make?
Cao Cao smiled bitterly with a headache. If so, this time he went south to Jingzhou to make a wedding dress for Jiangdong Army? The entire Jingzhou was divided into two. Wancheng, Xiangfan and other counties belonged to Cao Cao, while Jingnan, Jiangxia and other places
Then he returned to Sun Ce. This was something that Cao Cao could not tolerate. He quickly asked: "What can Wen Ruo do?"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said: "If the Xiangfan navy was still there, my lord could attack Jiangxia, surround Wei and rescue Zhao. However, Zhang Yun surrendered to Sun Ce, and the Jiangdong navy had no one to match. Although Xiangfan still had some ships, it was unable to threaten them. The only option is
The only way is to send a group of cavalry to Jiangling. If Sun Ce really attacks Jingzhou, Jingnan will definitely fall into the hands of the Jiangdong Army. No matter what, we must protect Jiangling."
