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

Chapter 303 Cao and Liu fight each other, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong play tricks

"Hong didn't quite understand Zheng Junshi's intention." Zang Hong asked doubtfully, "How could Hong declare war on Yuan Ni before he received an edict?"

Zheng Ping said without hesitation: "This is not a war between the two countries, so why ask the emperor for instructions?"

"Yuan Ni of Hebei, who embraced the false emperor and rebelled against the great man, a man of insight in the world, everyone can get it and punish him."

"Zang Shijun is the shepherd of Yanzhou. He has the right to suppress rebels and eliminate thieves. He can fight without declaring."

"Declaring war on Yuan Ni is just for Cao Cao in Xudu."

"Emissary Zang is in front of the battle, if there are treacherous officials who invade behind, it is collaborating with the enemy!"

"In this way, Cao Cao's trick can be broken!"

Zang Hong suddenly realized.

Although Yuan Shao supported the false emperor and claimed to be the great general of the Han Dynasty, the false emperor was a thief. Yuan Shao was no different from Zhang Chun, who used to call himself General Mi Tian.

If you need to ask the emperor for instructions to get rid of rebels and thieves, why do you need Zang Hong, the Yanzhou pastor?
From the moment Yuan Shao supported the puppet emperor, the prefects of the states had already had the right to send troops to wipe out Yuan Ni.

Anyone who thinks that sweeping up Yuan Ni is sending troops for no reason, then whoever is a traitor to Yuan Ni.

Although there are certain controversies in the law, there is another Qingzhou next to Yanzhou.

Liu Bei wants to support Zang Hong, and Cao Cao has to shut up.

This is why Zheng Ping asked Zang Hong to declare war on Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao endured it, so he could no longer use tricks against Yanzhou.

Cao Cao couldn't bear it, so Liu Bei had reason to use troops against Cao Cao.

Cao Cao can play Yangmou and occupy morality, so can Zheng Ping.

"Hong, thank Army Master Zheng for the advice." Zang Hong got up and saluted Zheng Ping again.

Zang Hong is good at internal affairs and people's livelihood, and he is not good at controlling the overall situation, nor is he good at dealing with Cao Cao's conspiracies and tricks.

Now with Zheng Ping's gift plan, Zang Hong has a clearer understanding of the current situation.

After chatting for a while, Zang Hong was anxious to return to Dongping to regain military power, and Zheng Ping did not stop him.

On the contrary, Zhang Fei missed Gao Shun: "Boping, let me tell you, there are many iron mines in Qingzhou, as long as you are willing to come, I can build you heavy armor."

Gao Shun raised his head and glanced at Zang Hong, and declined politely: "Shun once heard that his body is upright, and he does not obey orders, and his body is not upright, even though he refuses to obey orders."

"Zang Shijun treated Shun quite well, and he is also a gentleman of benevolence. How can Shun abandon Zang Shijun?"

Seeing Gao Shun's obedience from beginning to end, Zhang Fei admired Gao Shun even more because he was not tempted by interests.

As the saying goes: A strong woman does not become a second husband, and a loyal minister does not serve a second master.

A person who is loyal and affectionate is the most awe-inspiring person.

Zhang Fei held up his bottle and said respectfully: "I admire Boping's loyalty the most. If Boping has spare time, he can come to Qingzhou to find me and make friends with him."

Gao Shun also replied: "It is also an honor for Shun to know Yi De."

Sending Zang Hong and Gao Shun out of the city, Zhang Fei couldn't help feeling: "Boping is a loyal person, but it's a pity that I'm not as good as elder brother, so it's hard to recruit for elder brother."

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled lightly: "Yide, you are in the midst of the situation and don't know the general situation."

"Gao Boping is loyal, and he refuses to serve two masters. If you let him abandon Zang Ziyuan, it will violate his loyalty and ruin his reputation. Even if he goes to your elite camp, Gao Boping will not be able to let go."

"It's better to change your mind."

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer and asked, "Military Master, don't hide it, how can you change your mind?"

Zheng Ping swept his feather fan away: "As long as Zang Ziyuan respects the envoy, Gao Boping will naturally belong to the envoy's command. It will not damage Gao Boping's reputation of loyalty, but also make Gao Boping famous for his prestige in the battle."

Zhang Fei suddenly realized, clapped his hands and praised, "As expected of a military advisor, why didn't I think of it! Since Boping can't bear to abandon Zang Ziyuan, let Zang Ziyuan also serve for eldest brother."

"Wonderful!"

After a pause, Zhang Fei asked again: "Military Master, where are we going next?"

Zheng Ping looked in the direction of Jibei Kingdom: "Let's go to Jibei Kingdom to meet Bao Xin first. Although Bao Xin is the Prime Minister of Jibei recommended by the envoy, Bao Xin and Cao Cao are old friends. We must first confirm Bao Xin's position."

Although the state herd has the right to appoint and dismiss the prefect of the prefecture and state, Zang Hong, a Yanzhou shepherd, is more Buddhist, focusing on the people's livelihood in Yanzhou, and rarely takes the initiative to install cronies.

Therefore, the prefect and prime minister of Yanzhou County have hardly changed.

After bidding farewell to Ying Shao, Zheng Ping and Zhang Fei went straight to Lu County, the governor of Jibei Kingdom.

And on the other side.

Zang Hong and Gao Shun returned to Dongping Guoshou Zhangcheng, summoned the civil and military personnel in the city, and decided to declare war on Yuan Shao.

Immediately, Hao Meng's confidant Zheng Hu came out to object: "Your Majesty has an order to wait for me to go to Chenliu to meet him, so that you can declare war on Yuan Shao at this time, but what is your intention?"

With the first, there is the second.

One after another, six or seven generals from Yanzhou came out to oppose.

Zang Hong's eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at the group of arrogant fighters: "Whether it's to meet the driver or declare war, it's not up to you to comment. This is an order, not a discussion."

Zheng Hu was not afraid: "My lord, I thought that this matter should be discussed with General Hao before making a decision. Disregarding His Majesty's orders to declare war on Yuan Shao, please forgive the crime of disrespect."

Zang Hong sneered: "You also know that you are guilty of disrespect? Since you are disrespectful, how should you be punished?"

Zheng Hu was stunned.

I'm trying to save face for you, but you really dare to ask for punishment?
Gao Shun came out and said: "The crime of disrespect should be punished with a stick thirty times, as a warning to others."

Zheng Hu was furious when he heard the words: "Gao Shun, you dare to harm me?"

Gao Shun glanced at Zheng Hu coldly: "This general's official position is higher than yours, but you call me by my name, the crime is aggravated, and you should be sentenced to forty sticks."

Zheng Hu's face changed suddenly, and he scolded: "Gao Shun, I am under General Hao's command, and it's not your turn to take care of me! If you want to punish me with a cane, you have to take General Hao's military order."

"Presumptuous!" Zang Hong jumped up against the table: "Zheng Hu, do you still have my Yanzhou Mu in your eyes?"

Zheng Hu saw that Zang Hong wanted to show his prestige, but he was not willing to give in. He laughed and said: "Emissary Zang, I respect you as the state shepherd, so I call you envoy."

"But don't forget, you Yanzhou shepherd, I was elected by the Yanzhou people."

"Without the support of Yanzhou people like me, you are just a small Guangling meritorious service."

"Don't forget your roots! Zhang Situ and Chen Shangshu can make you a Yanzhou shepherd, but they can't make you a Yanzhou shepherd."

Before summoning Wenwu, Zang Hong actually had confidence in his reputation in Yanzhou.

Self-confidence can be established without killing people.

Zheng Hu's attitude made Zang Hong truly understand Zheng Ping's sentence "Emissary Zang, you should draw your sword and kill the general".

"General Gao, kill this thief immediately!" Zang Hong's breath became strong with his killing intent.

At any rate, he was a person who offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and read out Dong's call before the hundreds of thousands of Dong Mengjun. Zang Hong was a modest gentleman if he didn't get angry on a daily basis. This anger is more frightening than a tiger.

As soon as the words fell, Gao Shun stepped forward like a fast cheetah and drew his sword. Zheng Hu, who had no time to react, was directly pierced by the sharp sword, and then drew the sword.

"Anyone else, do you want to object?" Zang Hong angrily swept away all civil and military personnel, like a raging lion.

All the civil and military officers looked at Zang Hong in astonishment, not understanding why Zang Hong, who was always approachable, suddenly became so staunch?
Seeing that the civil and military officials did not answer, Zang Hong pointed to the table with his right hand, and said, "Hand over the military talisman, and you may save your life. If not, Zheng Hu will be your fate."

The generals looked at each other, and seeing Zheng Hu beheaded by Gao Shun, they obediently handed over the soldier talisman.

Zang Hong handed the soldier talisman to Gao Shun, and ordered: "General Gao, before sunset, anyone in Shouzhang City who does not follow my order will be executed!"

"As for these generals, they will be imprisoned first, and they will be tried later!"

Hao Meng was not there, Zheng Hu died again, and the remaining generals were deprived of their military charms. The generals in Shouzhang City were leaderless.

Gao Shun is also ruthless, anyone who dares to disobey orders will be mercilessly beheaded by Gao Shun.

At sunset, all the soldiers and horses in Shouzhang City were under Zang Hong's control, and Gao Shun was in command.

After taking control of the military power, Zang Hong immediately sent a message to all the counties in Yanzhou, blatantly declaring war on Yuan Shao!

At the same time, he sent his confidant Chen Rong to Dongjun to set up defenses in Baimajin, with the momentum of gathering all the strength of Yanzhou for the northern expedition.

Chen stay.

Zhang Chao and Hao Meng were shocked when they learned about the incident in Shouzhang City.

Zhang Chao asked Hao Meng in surprise: "General Hao, didn't you say that all the generals in Yanzhou obeyed your orders except Gao Shun? Why did Zang Ziyuan order the generals in Yanzhou to declare war on Yuan Shao?"

Hao Meng's face turns blue and white.

The accident in Shou Zhangcheng slapped Hao Meng hard in the face.

Hao Meng's eyes were fierce: "Damn it, it must be that Zheng Ping lobbied Zang Hong! Qingzhou must have sent troops, otherwise Zang Hong would not be able to control Shou Zhang's troops."

Zhang Chao's face was gloomy: "Yanzhou soldiers and horses can't welcome you, bad brother is in trouble! I shouldn't trust you, if I knew you can't take charge of Yanzhou soldiers and horses, I wouldn't write to my brother to make plans as scheduled."

Seeing Zhang Chao blaming herself, Hao Meng's already irritable mood instantly became even more irritable: "General Zhang, you can't say that. The last general gambled his wealth and life to come to Chenliu with you."

"Zang Hong was recommended by Zhang Situ as Yanzhou Mu, but now he has betrayed Zhang Situ. How can you blame the general for not doing things well?"

Seeing that Hao Meng turned against him, Zhang Chao felt even more annoyed.

But thinking that Hao Meng still had a soldier in his hand, Zhang Chao restrained himself again.

a long time.

Zhang Chao took a deep breath and said, "General Hao, it's useless to argue about right and wrong now. As long as he successfully meets Chenliu, Zang Hong can only send troops."

However, Hao Meng's eyes rolled straight away, and he agreed with his mouth, but he was seeking a way out in his heart.

"Zhang Miao can't do anything anymore, and Zang Hong's incompetent generation will definitely not be able to sit firmly in Yanzhou."

"To the south of the Yellow River, only Cao Cao and Liu Bei are qualified to compete for supremacy."

"Zang Hong voted for Liu Bei. If I go back, I will be murdered by Zang Hong. For the current plan, the only way to survive is to vote for Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao definitely doesn't know about the changes in Yanzhou now. If I go to vote for Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely use him again."

thought here.

Hao Meng's eyes suddenly changed, and when Zhang Chao turned around, he pierced Zhang Chao with a sword.

"General Hao, you?" Zhang Chao was full of doubts, unable to understand why Hao Meng stabbed himself in the back.

Hao Meng grinned grimly: "General Zhang, I'm sorry, the last general just wants to survive! Just this few soldiers and horses to meet him, it's just a mantis' arm as a chariot, bringing himself to perish."

"If you want to blame, blame yourselves. You elected a Yanzhou shepherd who is friendly to Liu Bei."

Zhang Chao's eyes gradually became loose.

Hao Meng beheaded Zhang Chao, and then wrote a letter to his younger brother Hao Jian: "Ajian, go to Xudu to see Cao Sikong immediately, and say that Zang Hong has surrendered to Liu Bei, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong want to kidnap him. The Son of Heaven is going to Chenliu."

"Although I, Hao Meng, am a general of Yanzhou, I will not do such perverse actions like Zhang Miao. I present Zhang Chao's head to show my sincerity!"

Hao Jian didn't hesitate, and took Hao Meng's letter and Zhang Chao's head to Xudu.

Seeing Zhang Chao's head and Hao Meng's letter, Cao Cao's small eyes were a little more mocking.

"General Hao's loyalty, I, Sikong, will remember it. When the disaster is settled, both of your brothers will be enshrined as lieutenants."

Cao Cao was full of foolish words, but in Hao Jian's ears, it was like the sound of nature.

"The last general thanks Sikong!"

Cao Cao said again: "But before that, I have to ask General Hao to find Zhang Miao. He said that Zang Hong had secretly stationed [-] troops in Fugou County in Chenliu, and asked Zhang Miao to quickly protect the emperor and help him." ditch."

"You go ahead and lie to Zhang Miao, I will lie about going out to hunt in the city, and give Zhang Miao a chance to take the emperor to Chenliu."

Hao Jian hastily swore: "The final general will obey Sikong's order, if there is a second heart, heaven and man will kill together."

After Hao Jian left, Cao Cao's eyes became gloomy: "What a Zang Hong, he would choose Liu Bei! After Zhang Miao and Chen Gong are dealt with, I will deal with you!"

"This Yanzhou can only be managed by me, Cao Mengde, and no one can set foot here!"

the other side.

Hao Jian came to Zhang Miao's mansion at night and lied that Zang Hong had agreed to send troops.

Zhang Miao recognized Hao Jian and had no doubts about Hao Jian's words, so he summoned Chen Gong overnight to discuss.

Chen Gong was cautious, and after questioning Hao Jian carefully, he also believed Hao Jian's lies.

Hao Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of Cao Cao's promise to be a marquis, Hao Jian couldn't help but secretly happy.

The next day.

When Cao Cao went out to hunt in the city, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong felt that the opportunity had come.

"Your Majesty, I have already persuaded Zang Hong to welcome you. Currently, Fugou County on the border of Chenliu has secretly stationed [-] soldiers from Zang Hong."

"Cao thief is out of the city to hunt today. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, please leave the city immediately with your majesty in disguise."

Liu Xie frowned slightly: "Only I go out of the city, what about the officials?"

Zhang Miao said: "As long as your Majesty arrives in Chenliu, the officials and officials will find a way to follow. Your Majesty, please follow me out of the city without delay."

Seeing that Liu Xie couldn't refuse, he could only disguise himself with Empress Fu and Dong Guiren, and followed Zhang Miao out of the palace gate.

The tiger general at the gate of the palace just inspected it symbolically, and didn't ask any more questions.

Although Zhang Miao was a little puzzled, he didn't think too much about it, he just thought this tiger would be careless.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, Chen Gong had already been waiting. As soon as the money was handed over, the city gate guard let the carriage out of the city.

Chen Gong also didn't care, after all, this city gate guard has always been greedy for money, which is obvious to all.

however.

As soon as the carriage left, the city gate guard found Cao Hong: "General, this is the gold and silver bribed by Chen Shangshu."

Cao Hong glanced at it, then said: "Keep half of it, and send the rest to the general's house, as a credit to you."

The city gate guard was overjoyed: "Thank you, General."

Cao Hong looked at the direction of the carriage coldly, and said to Cao Zhen, the young general beside him, "Send a message to Sikong quickly, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong have already left the city, and there is a carriage."
