Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 178

"Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, is here, how dare the bandits invade Dongjun?"

"Those who retreat will be cut!"

"Block it, stop it!"

"Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated. Today's army is defeated, and the only thing we want is death!"

"."

In the second year of Chuping, autumn.

The Heishan bandits headed by Yu Du, Bai Rao, and Sui Gu took advantage of the autumn harvest to attack Wei and Dong counties.

The black bandits are like a colony of ants, crazily looting money and food.

Whether it's the mansions of the powerful gentry or the bamboo huts of the common people, wherever the Black Mountain bandits have passed, there are ruins, and the depression is no less than that of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou in the past.

The powerful gentry were killed, and the Li people were forced to join the Black Mountain bandits and began to loot the next city.

Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, sent troops to attack the bandits, but was beheaded by Bai Rao.

In just a few days, Bai Rao coerced more than [-] people and occupied most of the cities east of Puyang.

Puyang.

Wang Gong died in battle, and Chen Gong, the prefect of the county, was elected to preside over major military and political affairs.

But almost all the county soldiers in Puyang died in battle with Wang Gong, and the powerful gentry organized themselves to protect themselves, and did not respond to the prefect's call at all.

Chen Gong also wanted to give up Puyang and go back to Dongwuyang to protect himself, but he couldn't bear to let the people of Puyang be robbed by black mountain bandits, so he had to stay in Puyang.

"Hasn't Governor Liu's reinforcements come yet?" Chen Gong was a little annoyed.

The messengers asking for help have been gone for five or six days, but Liu Dai's reinforcements have not yet appeared in Dongjun.

"Liu Inspector Liu stationed his troops in Fan County, and only repaired the city walls in Fan County. He said that he had sent envoys to Yecheng for help."

The scout's return gave Chen Gong a chill.

Fan County is in the east of Dongping Kingdom, and further east is Dongjun.

Repairing the city wall in Fan County, is this going to give up Dongjun?

Chen Gong's guess was accurate.

Liu Dai is indeed planning to give up Dongjun, and wants Dongjun to delay the progress of the Black Mountain bandits.

In this way, the black mountain bandits would go south to grab the nearest Chenliu after robbing Dongjun.

Borrowing the Black Bandit to consume Chen Liu's troops and money, Liu Dai will be able to send troops to Chen Liu to defeat Zhang Miao when the Black Bandit retreats.

But Liu Dai didn't let the matter go, he just sent an envoy to Yecheng to ask for help in hypocrisy.

"The black mountain bandits can attack Dongjun, why don't they attack the closer Weijun?"

"Yuan Shao can't take care of himself, how can there be reinforcements to help Dongjun!"

"Sure enough, these outsiders are not trustworthy!"

Chen Gong couldn't help scolding angrily.

Chen Gong could see through Liu Dai's purpose at a glance.

Didn't he just want to take this opportunity to get rid of the dissatisfied forces in Dongjun and consume Chen Liu and Zhang Miao's soldiers, horses, money and food?
Just as Chen Gong was thinking about countermeasures, someone reported that Mi Heng had arrived.

Chen Gong was not in the mood to entertain Mi Heng, and only asked the scattered officials to refuse Mi Heng's visit.

"Brother Gongtai, why do you refuse people thousands of miles away?" Mi Heng came laughing despite the obstruction of the scattered officials.

Seeing Mi Heng forcefully barging into the government office, Chen Gong felt a little helpless: "I made Zhengping laugh at me, but Dongjun has a lot of affairs and I'm really busy."

Mi Heng laughed loudly: "It's just a Heishan bandit who violated the border, and I can solve it with a wave of my hand. If you don't ask if you have a problem, you don't treat me as a friend."

Chen Gong smiled wryly: "Between waving? How could it be that easy! Although the powerful gentry in Puyang have private soldiers, they are unwilling to lend them all, and only want to protect themselves."

"If we can't integrate our forces in one place, I can't even defend Puyang. How can I repel the Black Mountain bandits?"

You Heng smiled lightly: "The private soldiers are disorganized and have different orders. Even if they are integrated into one place, they are just a group of mobs. How can we repel the Black Bandits?"

"Didn't the public platform ever think about asking for help?"

Chen Gong sighed: "Liu Yanzhou was repairing the city in Fan County, but he refused to go west, so he only sent envoys to Wei County to ask for help. But Yuan Shao in Wei County can't protect himself, how can there be reinforcements coming?"

"Although Zhang Mengzhuo has some affair with me, but he has Chenliu to defend, and he is at odds with Liu Yanzhou. At most, he will resist the black mountain bandits on the border of Chenliu, which is useless."

Mi Heng laughed: "Why don't Gongtai ask Qingzhou for help?"

Chen Gong's eyes lit up, and then he said sadly: "Qingzhou has been short of money and food this year, so it must not be able to support too many soldiers and horses. If there are fewer soldiers, it is not enough, and if there are too many soldiers, there is not enough money and food."

Mi Heng's eyes were piercing: "If you go to Qingzhou to send troops, it's true that not many troops will come. But Gongtai can ask Chen Guo for reinforcements!"

"The generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Qu Yi, and Tian Yu of Qingzhou are all in Chen Guo now!"

Chen Gong wondered: "But didn't they resist Yuan Shu in Chen country? How could they send troops to the north?"

You Heng smiled and said, "General Guan and others are in Chen State, and they were originally there to use troops against Yuan Shu. Now Jingzhou Inspector Liu Biao is attacking Wancheng, and Sun Jian has gone south to resist Liu Biao."

"Yuan Shu also stationed troops in Hanoi, and the soldiers and horses staying in Yuzhou were just a bluff."

Chen Gong was even more surprised: "You have been in Puyang all this time, how can you understand it so clearly?"

Mi Heng feigned a long sigh: "Qingzhou Zheng Biejia has strategized and won thousands of miles. He has already understood the general trend of the world, so he sent someone to send me a message before the Black Mountain bandits attacked."

"I thought that the public platform would come to the post office to ask me for advice, but the public platform regarded me as nothing."

"Seeing that this black bandit is getting more and more rampant, I can only look for a public platform with a thick face."

Chen Gong had a look of shame on his face: "This is indeed my rudeness. I thought that I could deal with the crisis in Dongjun with my own strength, but I never thought that I still overestimated myself."

You Heng calmed down and said: "Brother Gongtai has repeatedly helped Qingzhou, but now that Yuan Shu has formed an alliance with the Heishan bandits to plot against Dongjun, how can Qingzhou just ignore it?"

"It's not too late, Brother Gongtai immediately follow me to Chen Guo, and lead Chen Guo's soldiers to go north!"

Chen Gong didn't hesitate anymore, after he settled the military and political affairs in Puyang, he went south with Mi Heng.

From Dongjun to Chen Guo, there is Chenliu County in between.

Chen Gong went south in person, which could reduce obstacles on the way, and also rely on his relationship with Zhang Miao to change fast horses along the way.

In a few days.

Chen Gong and Mi Heng came to Chen State.

As soon as he entered the territory of Chen State outside Yangxia City, he met Tian Yu.

Tian Yu greeted him with a big laugh: "You persuade me, I've been waiting here for a long time! If you don't come again, the second brother and the others will use Yuan Shu's garrison to seal Qiucheng and forcibly pass through Chenliu County."

Mi Heng smiled and said, "It's not too late to come now."

Although it was just a simple conversation, Chen Gong was shocked to hear it.

Even if he didn't go south to ask for help, would Chen Guo's troops go north?

Could it be that Zheng Xianmou of Qingzhou had already expected the war in Dongjun?

When he came to Yangxia City, Chen Gong did not see King Chen Liu Chong.

The city is full of civil and military personnel from Qingzhou!
After judging Yuan Shu's bluff in Yuzhou, Zhang Hong and Chen Deng proposed a plan to go north via Chenliu County.

So Qingzhou Wenwu and Chen Wang Liu Chong divided their troops into two places.

Chen Wang Liu Chong led Chen Guowen and Wu to stay in Chen County.

Qingzhou Wenwu moved troops to Yangxia.

Because Cao Bao was seriously injured, Guan Yu and others sent him to Hua Tuo in Qiao County to recuperate.

Guan Yu integrated Tian Yu's Youzhou cavalry, Qu Yi's pioneers, Cao Bao's Danyang soldiers, Zhang Fei's Langya soldiers, and Tai Shici's Yuzhou soldiers with about 1 cavalry, numbering [-].

After moving troops to Yangxia City, Guan Yu sent people to wait at the border of Chenliu County for the messenger who went south to ask for help.

But this waiting is also time-limited.

If Mi Heng came a few days later, Qingzhou soldiers would forcefully pass through Chenliu County and regard all Chen Liubing who blocked them as enemies.

After all, Yuan Shu garrisoned troops to seal Qiucheng, it can be considered that Zhang Miao colluded with Yuan Shu.

Severing ties with Yuan Shu and never dying is not just a slogan.

"Chen Juncheng, the military situation is urgent, so Guan will make a long story short." Guan Yudan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was a little more indisputable: "The robbery of Yanzhou's money and food is the purpose of the black bandits, not Yuan Shu's purpose."

"Yuan Shu's purpose is to capture Dongjun and defeat Yuan Shao's allies in Yanzhou, Liu Dai, Yuan Yi, Yuan Xu and others."

"According to the current information, Yuan Shu entered Chenliu via Hanoi County, and is now stationed in Fengqiu City in Chenliu County, but Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao acquiesced that Yuan Shu was in Fengqiu City, so it can be concluded that Zhang Miao did not want to interfere with Yuan Shu. In the dispute with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu also does not want to be an enemy of Zhang Miao at this time."

"After Yuan Shu garrisoned troops in Fengqiu City, he stood still. His intention was obvious. He wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, lure Yuan Shao's forces in Yanzhou to appear, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"."

Guan Yu's long story is brief, and he will deduce it.

Guan Yu, Zhang Hong, Chen Deng and others have deduced these inferences many times.

The reason why he said it again was to tell Chen Gong.

Chen Gong went south from Dongjun and was able to grasp some information that Guan Yu failed to grasp.

The use of troops is dangerous, and only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

The more intelligence, the more chances of victory.

Chen Gong said in a low voice: "It may be difficult for Yuan Shu to lure the snake out of the cave. Liu Dai is now stationed in Fan County, and only repairs the city in Fan County, and has no intention of going west to Dongjun."

"However, Liu Dai sent someone to ask Yecheng for help."

Because he was dissatisfied with Liu Dai's failure to save Dong Jun, Chen Gong now called him by his first name.

Chen Dengdao: "Liu Dai will not come out, but Yuan Shao will definitely send people south. Otherwise, once the black mountain bandits completely occupy Dongjun, Yuan Shu doesn't even need to use any tactics. He can directly cross the Yellow River and enter Jizhou at Baimajin and other ferries."

"However, although Yuan Shu formed an alliance with the Black Mountain Bandit, he will never allow the Black Mountain Bandit to rob East County. Therefore, the Black Mountain Bandit who attacks East County is very likely to be betrayed by Yuan Shu."

"Yuan Shu is also waiting, waiting for the black bandits who attacked Wei County to consume each other with Yuan Shao, and even waiting for Gongsun Zan to enter Yecheng."

"That's why Yuan Shu will stand still in Fengqiu City."

"If Yuan Shu attacks Puyang at this time, Puyang won't be able to defend at all."

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. Only when Yuan Shao and the Heishan bandits both lose, can he truly gain the upper hand."

Zhang Hong also said: "Yuan Shu wants the fisherman to benefit, but we can't let him do what he wants."

"As long as I wait to lead troops northward to attack Fengqiu City, Yuan Shu will not only dare not sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but also worry that the Black Mountain bandits will run away if they see the situation is not good."

"Because he left Chenliu Commandery, Yuan Shu will doubt Zhang Miao's position again."

"As a result, Yuan Shu has no choice but to order the Heishan bandits to return to Fengqiu City."

"Use the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao to resolve the crisis in Dongjun, and move the battlefield to the Fengqiu area."

"It can not only increase the chances of lobbying Zhang Miao, but also prevent Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses going south from being caught by Yuan Shu's trick of leading snakes out of the cave."

Chen Deng and Zhang Hong spoke one after another, making Chen Gong even more shocked.

Chen Gong suddenly discovered that it wasn't necessarily Zheng Ping who was far away in Qingzhou who had predicted the war in Dongjun, but the two people in front of him had already predicted the war in Dongjun.

Not only Yuan Shu's purpose and intentions were calculated, but also the factor that Yuan Shao's reinforcements going south might fall into the trap.

"Is this the real power under Qingzhou Mu Liu Bei?" Chen Gong couldn't help but wonder secretly.

In Chen Gong's eyes, Qingzhou is actually a dead end.

Short of food, short of soldiers and horses, how can they compete with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others?
Therefore, Chen Gong didn't believe it when Liu Bei summoned all parties to sever ties with Yuan Shu and never die.

Chen Gong only thought that Liu Bei was bluffing and was incompetent and furious.

Therefore, when Dongjun encountered a crisis, Chen Gong never thought of asking Qingzhou for help.

Even if Mi Heng said to lead Chen Guo's soldiers to go north, Chen Gong would be skeptical.

If there is no other way, it is impossible for Chen Gong to follow Mi Heng to the south.

But now, Chen Gong's thoughts have changed.

Being able to predict the situation in Dongjun so accurately, Chen Deng and Zhang Hong's talents are not weaker than themselves.

And these two people actually appeared in Guan Yu's army at the same time.

Just now.

Guan Yu suddenly asked: "Chen Juncheng, I heard that you have a very close relationship with Chen Liu and Zhang Taishou?"

Chen Gong nodded: "General, if you want to go to Fengqiu via Chenliu County, I can lobby."

Guan Yu shook his head: "Chen Juncheng misunderstood, Guan wanted to know whether Chenliu Zhang prefect had the idea of ​​being the governor of Yanzhou."

Chen Gong was stunned suddenly: "What do you mean, General?"

Guan Yudan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Since Lu Zhixi entered Chang'an, Guan Yu has grown faster.

Not only thinking about how to march and use troops, but also thinking about how to use other forces to leverage strength.

"In short, Guan doesn't trust Zhang Taishou!" Guan Yu's tone was a little colder: "If Zhang Taishou pretended to agree on the surface, but secretly fell in love with Yuan Shu, then the troops going north would have no way out."

"If Prefect Zhang can't benefit, how can Guan dare to lead troops north?"

"Since Liu Dai has chosen to give up Dongjun, he is no longer qualified to be the governor of Yanzhou."

"If Zhang Miao has the idea of ​​being the governor of Yanzhou, Guan will definitely ask his brother to recommend him to the emperor!"

"President Bao of Jinbei, the prefect of Taishan Ying, has a good friendship with his elder brother. He retired the Black Mountain Bandit and Yuan Shu, and Chen Juncheng also responded to everyone in Dongjun."

"My elder brother is also close friends with the Great Sima of Youzhou, King Chen of Yuzhou, and Inspector Liu of Jingzhou. There are four prefectures in the interior and four prefecture governors in the outside. Presumably no one will object to Zhang Taishou being the Inspector of Yanzhou."

As soon as this word comes out.

Even Chen Deng and Zhang Hong looked at Guan Yu with surprise.

Use the governor of Yanzhou to lure Zhang Miao?

It seems that it is really feasible!
Tian Yu looked at Guan Yu, but saw that Guan Yu's expression did not change much. Even if he proposed this proposal to Chen Gong, he was still as arrogant as ever.

But in this aloofness, there is a bit more wisdom.

Chen Gong took a deep breath: "But Meng Zhuo is from Yanzhou. According to regulations, he cannot be the governor of Yanzhou."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "If Zhang Taishou doesn't want to be the governor of Yanzhou, he can recommend someone who he thinks can be the governor of Yanzhou to be the governor of Yanzhou."
