Han family achievements

Chapter 235 Big Brother Second Brother Third Brother

Listening to Cheng Yu's words, Huangfu Jianchang quickly thought about the situation in the southern states in his heart.

There are actually three main forces resisting Yuan Shu: the southernmost ones are the aristocratic families in Jiaozhi, which are mainly scholar families, basically blocking Yuan Shu to the east of Nanhai County.The northernmost one is the Jiangdong family headed by Sun Jian. This branch mainly focuses on offense. It put huge pressure on Han Fu and others in Wujun and other places.

And the third group is the Jingzhou family, Liu Biao is the governor of Jingzhou, behind him are Cai, Wu and other big families, who mainly resist and rarely attack.

Others, such as Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and others, were "taking advantage of the situation". Although they attacked, their influence was very limited.

Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, has been sitting on the sidelines and developing silently. Now no one can tell how many soldiers and horses Dong Zhuo has and how much food he has.

"Is it really impossible to delay the time?" Huangfu Jian frowned and whispered to himself.

The imperial court has basically pacified the Yan, Ji, and Qing states. The biggest rebellion in the north is the insignificant Black Mountain Army. After the battle in Jizhou last year, the threat has been reduced to a minimum.

The imperial court is pushing the 'New Deal' even more now, in an attempt to restore people's livelihood and enhance national power.

Therefore, stability is extremely precious to the imperial court, even if there is more than half a year of peace time, there are infinite benefits.

Cheng Yu listened to Huangfu Jianchang's words, thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "It's not like there is no chance, as long as Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu are confronted, and the hungry wolves and tigers fight each other, the court may have at least two more years time."

"How to make them face each other?" Huangfu Jianchang said excitedly.

Cheng Yu showed hesitation, seeing no one else, he still said: "The imperial court withdrew from Yuzhou and half of Xuzhou."

Huangfu Jian opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth in astonishment, unable to utter a word.

He hurriedly looked around and saw no one, so he breathed a sigh of relief, blinked non-stop, and said, "Sir, if your words get out, the saliva of the government and the public can drown you."

Shi A looked at Cheng Yu with interest and appreciation.

As a ranger, Shi A cares more about the "loyalty" in his heart, and he doesn't care much about his family and country. He can treat many things calmly and objectively.

Therefore, he agrees with Cheng Yu's statement very much, and thinks it is a good way to solve the current crisis!

Just as Cheng Yu was about to say more, Zhang Chao came up hurriedly from the corner of his eye, raised his hand, and said, "Second Young Master, the official rectification is almost done, and you can go to Donghai County at any time."

Huangfu Jian said: "Well, you go first, the appointment will arrive soon."

Zhang Chaoshan would not doubt Huangfu Jianchang's words, and immediately said: "Thank you very much, Second Young Master. I plan to withdraw our troops overnight."

Huangfu was taken aback for a long time, and said: "Walking all night? Why?"

Zhang Chao also turned his head and glanced, seeing that there was no one else, he said frankly: "Someone sent me a message, saying that Tao Shijun wanted to ask me to borrow troops, and the subordinates only need such troops. The East China Sea borders Xiapi. 5000 people may not be able to defend. Therefore, we can only go one step ahead and don't give Tao Shijun a chance to speak."

Huangfu Jianchang didn't expect this to happen, and looked at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu was clear in his heart, in troubled times, with soldiers in hand, everything is possible, Tao Qian wanted to borrow soldiers, Zhang Chao didn't want to borrow them, they were essentially the same.

"Prefect Zhang,"

Cheng Yu raised his hand towards Zhang Chao, and said, "Donghai County is the key point to prevent Lv Bu from going north, and it is next to Pei County. Prefect Zhang has a heavy responsibility!"

Zhang Chao was naturally clear, with a sullen face, he said: "Your Majesty will swear to defend the East China Sea to the death!"

Huangfu Jian nodded his head heavily, and said, "Prefect Zhang, take care!"

Seeing that Huangfu Jianchang and the others were not playing tricks, Zhang Chao felt relieved, clasped his fists again, and said, "Take care!"

Zhang Chao turned around, went down the tower, got on his horse, and went south without stopping.

The army moved slowly. In the cold winter months, the crowds were crowded and the flags were cold.

Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Chao's back, his expression gradually becoming obscure, and he said as if talking to himself: "Guangling County has fallen into Lu Bu's hands. Sun Jian of Wu County will be attacked from both sides, and Yuan Shao in Jiujiang County will also have a difficult time. Perhaps, in the future, It is necessary for the court to retreat, and Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo will soon face each other."

Huangfu Jianchang listened to Cheng Yu, who hadn't reacted before, suddenly screamed, slapped his forehead repeatedly, and said: "Confused, confused..."

The other half of Xuzhou fell into Lu Bu's hands, and Sun Jian and Yuan Shao, who were originally backed by Xuzhou, would be isolated and helpless, or even besieged!

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "You can't blame the second son. Sun Jian is short-sighted and has repeatedly made things difficult for Ding Shijun. If he was willing to help Ding Shijun, why did the situation become like this?"

Huangfu Jianchang paced back and forth, his face full of anxiety, and even a trace of cold sweat appeared on his face, and said: "It's too late to talk about this, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao can't do anything, otherwise the whole south will fall into the hands of Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo, what if this tiger wolf If they merge, the court will be in big trouble..."

It was the first time Shi A saw him so nervous, and said quickly: "Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo have a family feud, and they will not form an alliance."

Huangfu Jianchang was still pacing back and forth, thinking a lot in his heart, shaking his head constantly, and said: "No one can say for sure, this kind of possibility can't happen! Sun Jian, Yuan Shao... if they have accidents, Liu Biao will be alone, and the whole south will be destroyed." Falling into the hands of the rebels, no, no, absolutely no..."

Seeing Huangfu Jian's reaction so much, Cheng Yu knew that he was serious, and said, "Second son, this is the worst situation judged by the lower officials. Sun Jian has a deep foundation in Wu County, so it is not easy to defeat him. Depending on Runan, with Gongsun Zan behind, we won't be defeated so quickly, so don't worry so much..."

Huangfu Jian glanced at him, still uneasy, said: "No, I have to write a letter to my father. I must prevent Lu Bu from joining Dong Zhuo. To keep Sun Jian and Yuan Shao, I must hold Yuan Shu. The court needs time..."

Cheng Yu listened, but did not stop.

In his view, the imperial court will make a judgment when they get the news, and there is no need for them to make nervous plans.

"Captain!"

Suddenly, a guard from the Imperial City Mansion rushed up and said nervously: "The urgent report from Shouchun said that Yuan Shao underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. He was surrounded by Zhang He in Shouchun. The situation is very critical."

Huangfu Jianchang snatched the letter, glanced at it, looked at Cheng Yu with a serious expression, and said, "What should I do?"

Cheng Yu was very calm, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and said: "This Zhang He... is really not easy. He was driven out of Jiujiang, but he was able to set up an ambush and besiege Yuan Shao in Shouchun. Second son, the key now is Jingzhou. Liu Biao."

Huangfu Jian shook his head and said: "Nothing will happen to Yuan Shao or Sun Jian. Let's go to Jiujiang County now!"

When Cheng Yu saw Huangfu Jianchang talking about going down to the tower, he chased after him: "Second Young Master, we can't help much by going to Jiujiang, and it's very dangerous there. It's better to go to Xiangxian County and keep an eye on Dong Zhuo, which is more useful."

Huangfu Jian walked quickly, and said: "Sir, I don't understand. Last year, I had dinner with His Majesty in the palace. His Majesty accidentally said that Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao are the first line of defense. This line of defense must not be lost for at least three years. That's why I am here." In the second year, we must last another year!"

Cheng Yuzhang was puzzled and said, "Second Young Master, what can we do if we go to Jiujiang? We have no soldiers to transfer over there."

Huangfu Jian thought anxiously as he walked, and said, "It's not completely impossible. I can mobilize Gongsun Zan. If we speed up our pace, we may be able to catch up with Guan Yu."

Cheng Yu saw that Huangfu was very anxious, and suddenly said: "Second Young Master, has it ever occurred to Yuan Shao that he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, was it really unintentional? He and Yuan Shu are brothers!"

Huangfu Jianchang stopped abruptly, opened his eyes angrily, turned to stare at Cheng Yu, and said, "Sir, are you saying that Yuan Shao did it on purpose? The two brothers conspired together to rebel?"

Cheng Yu said solemnly: "Second Young Master, this possibility cannot be ruled out! I feel that the most urgent task now is not to rescue Yuan Shao, but to watch from the sidelines and see some people and things clearly!"

Huangfu Jianchang was shocked and doubtful, and he admired Cheng Yu very much.

As usual, he certainly couldn't see so much, he had recklessly bumped into it a long time ago!

Huangfu Jian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Not long after, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said: "Mr. is right, you can indeed take this opportunity to see some people clearly! Old Shi, give me the Take out those blank and stamped letters, and I want to write letters to Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Biao!"

Cheng Yu didn't know that Huangfu Jianchang still hid these things, so he said: "Second Young Master, you might as well write a letter to Yuan Shu."

Huangfu Jian was taken aback for a long time, and said, "What are you writing?"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, and said, "Isn't he begging to surrender? The second young master will discuss the conditions with him, and then the letters from both parties will accidentally leak out."

Huangfu Jianchang took the blank envelope from Shi A's hand, handed it to Cheng Yu and said anxiously: "Sir, write."

Cheng Yu saw Zhao Yu approaching not far away, and said, "Let's write after leaving the city."

Huangfu Jianchang looked back, but he didn't pay attention at all, and said: "Go, go!"

When Zhao Yu arrived, he could only see the backs of Huangfu Jianchang and his group galloping on horseback.

Zhao Yu looked helpless, and sighed: "I wasted a table of banquets."

"The prefect, the prefect, the envoy can't do it!" A soldier shouted and ran over.

Zhao Yu's face changed suddenly, he turned around abruptly, pulled a horse, and went straight to the official office.

When he arrived, all the big and small officials in Kaiyang County were gathered around Tao Qian's bed.

Tao Qian could no longer open his eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but there was no sound at all.

Zhao Yu was in a hurry, and said, "It wasn't fine before, why did it suddenly happen?"

A woman cried: "The master woke up and wanted to drink some porridge, but he vomited after drinking a little, and kept vomiting..."

Zang Ba had a straight face, his eyes seemed angry or sad.

Zhao Yu stepped forward, knelt down beside Tao Qian's bed, put his ear close to Tao Qian's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Master, what do you want to say?"

Tao Qian struggled to raise his eyelids, but his eyes were dull and lacked any brilliance.

Still can't say half a word.

"Owner!"

Suddenly, the woman burst into tears, stepped forward and hugged Tao Qian and burst into tears.

Zhao Yu was silent, and retreated with a sad face.

In the ward, there was a lot of crying and shouting.

Zang Ba stepped forward and stared at Tao Qian, silent for a long time, then turned his head, exchanged a glance with Zhao Yu, left the room, and came to the courtyard.

Zang Ba said bitterly: "The envoy is not in good health, but it is not so fast. It is all to blame for Na Lu Bu, who repeatedly hurt the envoy! I want to launch a crusade, what do you think?"

With a heavy heart, Zhao Yu said, "We only have a few thousand people, and we don't have any money or food. How can we attack? Let's make the emperor mourn."

Zang Ba sneered, and said: "The funeral is yours, but I will decide on Lu Bu's head!"

Before he finished speaking, Zang Ba strode away, apparently about to leave the city.

Zhao Yu didn't stop him. From his point of view, Zang Ba was only enraged for a while. Thousands of people ran to beat tens of thousands of people. As long as he didn't lose his head, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Turning around, Zhao Yu was going to discuss the funeral with some members of the Tao family.

"Prefect, the Mi family sent someone here." A small official came to Zhao Yu's side and said in a low voice.

Zhao Yu disdains merchants the most, even loathes them, so he can't help frowning: "What are they here for? What kind of business do they want to do? Hmph! Tell them, don't even think about it, leave immediately!"

The little official responded, turned around and left quickly.

Zhao Yu strode back to Tao Qian's ward, suddenly stopped, turned his head to look in the direction Zang Ba left, his expression changed in surprise.

He figured it out!
Zang Ba didn't want to avenge Tao Qian, but recruited troops in this name!
"He won't plan on Langya County, will he?" There was a trace of panic in Zhao Yu's eyes, and he felt uneasy.

Zang Ba was originally a bandit and was recruited by Tao Qian. Now that Tao Qian is dead, who can stop him?
Zhao Yu was completely at a loss as to what to do.

But at this moment, Huangfu Jianchang led people out of Kaiyang, and headed straight to Jiujiang County in a hurry.

He didn't know that Tao Qian died of illness suddenly in Langya County, which seemed to be calm and without any problems behind him. Contradictions under the water surfaced, and crises faltered.

At the same time, Guan Yu led 3000 soldiers and horses out of Jiujiang County, entered Xiapi of Xuzhou, and had just passed Huailing.

Sitting on a tall horse, Guan Yu stroked his long beard, looked indifferent, and marched calmly.

Sitting behind him was a thick, round-faced man with bushy beards, and said in a rough voice, "Second Brother, I miss Eldest Brother, when are we going to see Eldest Brother!"

It's an interrogative sentence, but it sounds like a declarative sentence.

Guan Yu frowned and said, "I don't know either."

Zhang Fei became impatient. He rode forward and stood side by side with Guan Yu. His eyes were like copper bells, and his voice was louder. He said, "Didn't you write a letter to elder brother? As long as he transfers us back, Yuan Shao, how dare you force us to stay?" ?”

Guan Yu didn't look at him, and said: "You can go back if you want. I was transferred by His Majesty's order. Without the order, I can't go back to Hanzhong."

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, and said, "I don't care what the will of the bird is! Anyway, as long as the elder brother sends a letter, we will all go back to Hanzhong, so as not to suffer from his mother's bird's anger here!"

Guan Yu held the rein with one hand and stroked his beard with the other. Hearing this, he suddenly stopped, turned to Zhang Fei, and said, "Perhaps, there is a chance."

"What opportunity?" Zhang Fei asked anxiously.

Guan Yu said: "That Second Young Master, he has hands and eyes all over the sky, maybe he can bring us back to Eldest Brother."
