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

Chapter 240 Twelve Military Orders, Guo Jia Falls into Chaos

Twelve military orders?
Yuan Shu was a little confused.

How treacherous is this, to think of recalling Sun Jian with twelve military orders?

A military order, Sun Jian can find a reason to fool.

Two or three military orders, Sun Jian can find a reason to fool him.

But with the Twelve Military Orders, if Sun Jian didn't come back, it would be tantamount to a blatant break with Yuan Shu!

Perhaps, even the Twelve Ways were useless, and Sun Jian had to withdraw his troops.

"What if Sun Jian claims to be sick?"

Yuan Shu remembered that when Sun Jian was recalled last time, Sun Jian was directly assassinated.

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "Sun Jian said he was sick, and Sun Jian's son can lead the army. It is said that Sun Jian is a fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River. This tiger father has no dogs. If Sun Ce is named a general and asked to lead the army back, Sun Jian will not object."

"It is written in the fourth military order: If Sun Jian cannot return for some reason, Sun Ce will be appointed as the general who will fight against the bandits, and he will be in charge of the three armies. See the order and return as soon as possible."

"It is written in the fifth military order: Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and his ilk don't need to worry too much about ringworm and scabies."

"The Sixth Army Order has written: People in Shanyue often return when they see benefits, and they can be calmed down by promising their benefits."

"The Seventh Military Order states: Bandits in lakes and rivers are not a temporary illness, and you must not give up the root and chase the end."

"The Eighth Military Order has written: The way of filial piety is human nature. However, loyalty and filial piety have been a dilemma since ancient times. How can we abolish the public because of personal interests?"

"There are twelve military orders, and each military order corresponds to a reason for not obeying the order."

"Unless Sun Jian really wants to stand on his own in Jiangdong, after seeing these twelve military orders, he can only withdraw his troops back to Huainan."

Yuan Shu's eyes gradually became horrified.

"This is blocking Sun Jian's path!"

"What a ruthless calculation."

"If Sun Jian finds out that these twelve military orders were planned by Zheng Xian, he will probably be so angry that he will kill Zheng Xianmou."

Yuan Shu subconsciously put himself into Sun Jian's perspective, and even sympathized with Sun Jian's thoughts.

"Mr. Xianmou, do you really not consider abandoning Xuande to assist me?" Yuan Shu invited again: "I have a young daughter, Yuan Ji, who is young, if Mr. Xianmou is interested, I can marry her. "

Zheng Ping had a half-smile but not a smile: "Do you want me to call your father-in-law?"

Zhang Fei shouted at the side: "Yuan Shu, you are so unreasonable. My elder brother treats Mr. Xianmou as a teacher and friend. If you want to be Mr. Xianmou's father-in-law, wouldn't it make my elder brother inferior?"

Yuan Shu didn't care about Zhang Fei's scolding, and only wanted to win over Zheng Ping: "If Mr. Xianmou doesn't want to lose his seniority, I still have a younger sister who knows the book and is a young man."

Zheng Ping shook his head lightly: "Duke Yuan kindly accepts it, and I already have a wife, so I can't bear to abandon each other."

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Mr. Xianmou has a noble character, so naturally he can't divorce his wife easily; my family sister can be a concubine. If Mr. Xianmou wants, my youngest daughter can also be given to Mr. Xianmou as a maid."

"It's just a maid, so you don't need to call me father-in-law."

Zhang Fei looked at Yuan Shu in astonishment: "Yuan Shu, are you really the son of the Yuan family in Runan? You asked your daughter to be Mr. Xianmou's maid?"

A handmaid is a maidservant.

Wives, concubines, concubines, maidservants, and maidservants are at the end.

In a wealthy family, the status of the maid is the last.

Yuan Shu chuckled: "It's not important to name a name, as long as Mr. Xianmou likes it."

Seeing that Yuan Shu's words were getting more and more outrageous, Zheng Ping interrupted: "Mr. Yuan, let's change this topic. Although there are twelve military orders, Sun Jianruo really has the idea of ​​surviving the natural danger of the Yangtze River."

"Yuan Gong, you will be in trouble."

Simple words made the atmosphere subtle again.

Seeing that he couldn't win over Zheng Ping, Yuan Shu also put away the little bit of seeking for talents just now, and was a little arrogant: "I know Sun Jian well, he will not betray me!"

Dian Wei was asked to lead the crowd to guard Yuan Shu and Huang Yi, and Zheng Ping and the others withdrew from the front hall.

outer courtyard.

Zhang Fei asked suspiciously: "Mr. Xianmou, since Yuan Shu was captured alive, why did you lure Sun Jian into Huainan?"

"If Sun Jian returns to Huainan, he will definitely come to snatch Yuan Shu."

"If you don't give it to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's son and Sun Jian both voted for Cao Cao, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"

Zheng Ping smiled but did not answer.

Zhang Hong asked, "General Yide, this Yuan Shu is going to be escorted to Chang'an."

"But if you want to send Yuan Shu to Chang'an, you have to go through Yuzhou, which is also Cao Cao's sphere of influence."

"Wouldn't it be worse if Cao Cao intercepted Yuan Shu on the way and escorted him to Chang'an alone to ask for credit?"

Zhang Fei said angrily: "The credit belongs to the eldest brother, why should Cao Cao snatch it?"

Zhang Hong laughed and said, "Just because Zhang Miao is in Chang'an, and Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are old acquaintances. No matter who is in charge of Chang'an, they will find ways to win over one side and suppress the other side."

"Obviously, Cao Cao is the most suitable for Zhang Miao to win over, and Liu Shijun's prestige is too high, so he must be the target that Zhang Miao wants to suppress."

Zhang Fei was even angrier: "Zhang Miao is so ignorant, if it weren't for my elder brother, would the Zang Hong he recommended be in charge of Yanzhou?"

Zhang Hong said again: "Don't leave Yuan Shu behind and lead Sun Jian into Huainan. This will not only consume Cao Cao's military strength, but also prevent Yangzhou from being dominant."

"Yangzhou with complex forces is the most beneficial to Qing Xu."

Zheng Ping shook his fan and said with a smile: "I can't hide it from Mr. Zigang, the military struggle is based on profit, and you can't be moved by momentary happiness or anger."

"Privately speaking, I really want to send Yuan Shu to Chang'an to be dealt with, so as to comfort Uncle Zigan's spirit in heaven."

"As far as Yu Gong is concerned, a Yuan Shu in his hands can not only make Yuan Shu's subordinates use their weapons, but also make Yuan's disciples in Yangzhou area be used by envoys."

"It is easy to capture Yuan Shu, but it is difficult to subdue the remnants of Yuan Shu."

"What's more, there is also Cao Cao from Yuzhou who is eyeing him, so don't underestimate him."

Zheng Ping has always been a very rational and considerate person.

For the sake of the overall situation, Tao Qian can be killed by Cao Cao.

Similarly, for the sake of the overall situation, Zheng Ping can temporarily put aside his personal grievances with Yuan Shu, and use the Yuan family as a pawn to let the power of Yuzhou and Yangzhou evolve according to Zheng Ping's desired situation.

This time going south, apart from Zheng Ping himself, no one knew Zheng Ping's real purpose.

Even if it was Liu Bei, Zheng Ping only said that he would capture Yuan Shu alive and send him to Chang'an one step ahead of Cao Cao.

however.

In fact, this is just a small part of Zheng Ping's many goals for going south.

Yuan Shu was never Zheng Ping's assumed opponent.

Zheng Ping's assumed opponents, south of the Yellow River, are Cao Cao and Sun Jian!

Cao Cao is treacherous and has great ambitions. Under his command, he is assisted by wise men from the Yingchuan faction and supported by the Yingchuan family.

Although Sun Jian is under Yuan Shu's command, Sun Jian has always had the idea of ​​establishing his own family. Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, he has repeatedly made military exploits and gained a reputation on the battlefield step by step.

Sun Jian is the same kind of person as Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zan.

He started his career by fighting, and although he lacks resourceful men under his command, there are a large number of generals who will never leave Sun Jian.

It's not that Zheng Ping underestimated himself. With Sun Jian's current military strength in Jiangdong, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go together, they may not be able to claim victory.

It is not a wise strategy to deal with Cao Cao and Sun Jian with one enemy and two at the same time.

Zheng Ping's best and favorite method is to drive away tigers and devour wolves, and to use strength to fight.

Although, if Zheng Ping wants to use all his strength to mobilize Qingxu's troops, he can also eliminate Cao Cao and Sun Jian by fighting on the battlefield; but in this way, Qingxu's troops will be severely damaged.

It is even possible to lose several generals.

Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Even if Sun Jian and Cao Cao were destroyed, Liu Bei would not have enough strength to deal with Yuan Shao.

After several years of rest and recuperation, Liu Bei didn't dare to speak harshly to Yuan Shao!

This is not the result Zheng Ping wanted!
If you can use techniques, why use force?

If you can fight wits, why fight martial arts?

Only by taking control of the general trend and crushing all opponents with the general trend can we truly plan and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

Zhang Fei's doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by joy: "It turns out that Mr. Xianmou had planned for a long time, why didn't he tell me earlier, which made me worry for a long time."

Zheng Ping chuckled: "Next time, I must tell Yide earlier."

"In order to deceive others, let Yuan Shu scold Yun Chang in Huai Ling City tomorrow."

"Otherwise, Cao Cao's spies might notice something strange."

Zhang Fei nodded, and ordered his confidant, Bi Jiang, to deliver a letter to Guan Yu.

Know Zheng Ping's intention.

Guan Yu soon led the army to Huai Ling City and surrounded Huai Ling City.

"Rebel Yuan Shu, quickly open the door and surrender!" Guan Yu slashed his sword at once, while Chituma looked down on him.

Yuan Shu stood on the top of the wall, pointing at Guan Yu and cursing, "You long-bearded thief, don't be mad. I'll fight with you again when my general, Sun Jian, comes back."

Guan Yu shouted: "Heroes in the world, who is my opponent? Just Sun Jian, how can I be afraid? I will convince you. If you are brave, I will send your messenger to call Sun Jian."

"If Sun Jian dares to come, this Marquis will kill Sun Jian!"

Yuan Shu was furious: "Long-bearded thief, you are deceiving people too much! Don't intercept and kill my messenger if you have the guts."

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "How can I do that villain's behavior? You can send someone to summon you. I'm afraid that Sun Jian, whom you hold in high esteem, won't dare to come back!"

Yuan Shu hurriedly ordered the messenger to leave the city, but Guan Yu directly gave way to the messenger to go straight to Jiangdong.

so repeatedly.

For seven consecutive days, messengers leave the city every day!

A total of twelve military orders have been issued.

Huang Yi personally went out of the city to deliver the last military order!
Yi Cheng.

Cao Cao recharged his energy and stored up his energy for many days, but Yuan Shu did not return for a long time.

Just when Cao Cao was anxious, the spies sent back the information that Guan Yu's soldiers were besieging Huai Ling City.

"Is Yuan Shu trapped in Huai Ling?"

"This idiot, has he lost the battle again?"

Cao Cao was a little out of breath.

Although Yuan Shu withdrew his troops, he still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. How could it be possible to besiege Huai Ling City?
The only thing that can be explained is that Yuan Shu lost again!

It is estimated that there are only a few thousand remnants and defeated generals in Huai Ling City.

Cao Cao hurriedly asked the spies to investigate carefully, and the spies sent back information one after another, so angry that Cao Cao put his job on the table on the spot.

"Is Yuan Shu an idiot?"

"A tactic of weary soldiers not only caused the roar of the camp, but the camp was also robbed in broad daylight. Of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, only a hundred fled into Huai Ling City."

"How could such a person be the heir of the Yuan family!"

Cao Cao suddenly had a thought of hating iron but not steel: If I were Yuan's son, the world would be in control!
Such a result was unexpected by Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

They had imagined many ways for Yuan Shu to retreat, but they never thought that Yuan Shu would be trapped in Huai Ling City.

How stupid to make such a mistake!
"Feng Xiao, Zhicai, and Yuan Shu were trapped in Huai Ling City. Shall we also send troops to Huai Ling to rob Guan Yu?" Cao Cao felt ruthless.

If Guan Yu were to capture Yuan Shu, what would be the use of defeating Yicheng?

The first skill can only be Guan Yu's, and Guan Yu's Xuzhou Mu has also been implemented.

Liu Bei was the shepherd of Qingzhou, and Guan Yu was the shepherd of Xuzhou. Cao Cao felt terrified just thinking about it.

Guo Jia didn't answer, but asked the spies carefully, trying not to miss any information.

"Strange, Guan Yu besieged Huailing City, but he just besieged and did not attack."

"It doesn't make sense!"

Guo Jia frowned.

Both Cao Cao and Guan Yu wanted to capture Yuan Shu alive, but Guan Yu besieged Huailing City and did not attack, which is unusually strange.

Xi Zhicai said: "Usually speaking, if you encircle rather than attack, you want to encircle and fight for reinforcements. Yicheng's Yuan Bing was defeated by Ming Gong, and Yuan Shu's Yuan Bing only has Shouchun's Yuan Yao."

"Could it be that Guan Yu wants to capture Yuan Yao again?"

"No, that's not right. There's one more person!"

For an instant.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai said in unison: "Sun Jian!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Under Yuan Shu's command, none is more capable of conquering and fighting than Sun Jian. Sun Jian is not dead, even if Yuan Shu is captured alive, he will not be able to accomplish all his achievements."

"Guan Yu wants to lure Sun Jian to Huai Ling!"

"Defeat Sun Jian first, and then defeat Huai Ling and capture Yuan Shu. The Yuan family forces in Huainan will be scattered like birds and beasts."

"This Guan Yu is so ambitious!"

Cao Cao got up when he heard the words: "If Guan Yu defeats Sun Jian and Huai Ling City is destroyed without a fight, I will be completely out of luck. Raise troops immediately, and I will go to Huai Ling as well."

"You can't let Guan Yu do it all by himself!"

Guo Jia was silent.

"Feng Xiao, don't you think it's wrong?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia shook his head: "That's not the case. Minggong sent troops to Huainan, which is the most appropriate countermeasure at present. It's just that Jia always has a bad premonition, and seems to have missed something."

Xi Zhicai asked: "Feng Xiao has too much heart. As soon as Ming Gong's army arrives in Huai Ling, Yuan Shu will not be able to escape. Whoever can capture Yuan Shu alive will depend on his ability."

Guo Jia sighed lightly: "Perhaps, it's because Jia has a lot of heart."

Although Guo Jia hasn't figured it out yet, Cao Cao won't stop going to Huai Ling City just because of Guo Jia's premonition.

Yuan Shu is in Huai Ling, Cao Cao must go!
Cao Cao cannot give this credit to anyone.

Lujiang.

After Sun Jian pacified Wujun and Danyang, he sent his army to storm Lujiang and Wancheng.

Although Lu Kang is old, he has been in Lujiang for many years, and the name of Yi Lie has been widely spread.

When Sun Jianqiang attacked Wancheng, some of Lu Kang's soldiers went out on vacation. After hearing the news, they all returned to Lujiang River and climbed the city wall at night to help Lu Kang defend the city.

The scholars and people in the city also helped out one after another.

Even if Sun Jian's army is brave and good at fighting, it will be difficult to easily conquer Wancheng.

But this is not what bothered Sun Jian. What really bothered Sun Jian was Yuan Shu's successive military orders.

"Yuan Shu, are you full enough?"

"There are eleven military orders!"

Sun Jian perfectly restored what it means to be unaffected by military orders abroad.

However, when Huang Yi arrived with the No. 12 military order, Sun Jian couldn't sit still.

"General Sun, are you really going to let Yue Zhang die in Huai Ling City?"

"My father-in-law said that if General Sun doesn't send troops again, he will kill himself in Huai Ling City and announce to the world that you refused to accept the order of the Twelfth Army, General Sun!"

"The fish is dead and the net is broken!"
