Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times
Chapter 191 The Avengers
Chapter 191 The Avengers
The appearance of a lone swan goose at this time of year is a very strange thing in itself.
Miss Lu, who was a grassland herdsman, instinctively noticed something was wrong and shot it down without thinking twice.
But she didn't expect that someone would actually try to use swan geese to convey information.
If I have to make an analogy, this behavior is similar to throwing a drift bottle into the sea, and the accuracy is better than nothing.
Because swan geese are not a species that can be domesticated to send messages, the domesticated species are called giant geese.
"There really are people who use swan geese to pass down messages." Dong Bai's little head came closer. After Li Ru's earnest teaching, she was no longer the ignorant girl who had a headache when she was close to the Imperial Academy. Su Wu's allusion in "Han Shu" He picked it up at his fingertips, "This is a lie made up by the Han envoy to save Su Wu. Who read the book so carelessly that he actually took it seriously?"
"Hongyan passed the letter." Miss Lu hesitated for a while and came over, but her face was as if nothing had happened, and she muttered in a low voice, "I see, I seem to have heard of it somewhere."
As a martial arts practitioner, she never reads much.
Two heads clustered in front of him, blocking Xu Jiashu's sight. He carefully turned his head to the side, sighed softly and said: "Even if you don't want me to read it, you can at least tell me who wrote this." Bar"
"Written by Liu Bo'an."
Dong Bai and Miss Lu in front of him answered in unison and looked at each other. This time, they were not in the mood to quarrel. They continued to look back at the silk book. Both of them were attracted by the content of the letter and temporarily called a truce.
Liu Yu?
Xu Jiashu's mind didn't turn around for a moment.
He is not an idle member of the clan who is ignorant and unskilled. It is impossible not to know that sending letters like this is probably a useless effort.
And knowing this but still doing it can only mean one thing - the most important minister of the Han Dynasty, Grand Sima Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, has cut off contact with the outside world, and can only borrow the idea of Hongyan Chuan Shu from history books, dead horse Become a live horse doctor.
With Liu Yu's status, he needs to use any means to convey information to the outside world. I am afraid that his situation at this time is quite bad.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiashu didn't care so much. He stretched out his hand and pressed down the two heads like a whack-a-mole. Dong Bai and Lu Lingqi were unprepared. Their heads were lightly clicked together. They exclaimed in pain and turned to look at the culprit.
"I was wrong," Xu Jiashu blinked and admitted his mistake, "I just wanted to see what was written on the silk book."
! @#¥%
"Huh!" x2
After heartily criticizing Xu Zimao's inappropriate behavior, the two of them let out a sigh of relief and felt that their relationship with each other had become much closer - nothing can enhance a relationship more than scolding people together.
Taking advantage of his smaller stature, Dong Bai leaned a little closer to Xu Jiashu's arms and easily let out the angle of view above his head. Miss Lu followed suit, but she couldn't hide her slender and powerful body. Come on, people can't help but feel distracted when they are grinding together.
Looking at Miss Lu's heroic profile, Xu Jiashu couldn't help but criticize himself in his heart: Xu Zimao, Xu Zimao, you have to know your shame, know your shame!
It’s better to concentrate on what Liu Boan wrote.
Perhaps because of the rush of time, the content of the silk book is not much, but the amount of information in each sentence is so explosive that people can't help but stop and think about it halfway through.
First of all, Liu Yu is not in Ji County, the seat of Youzhou, but is besieged in Juyong County, Shanggu County. This is also the reason why Xu Jiashu and his party can find out that he released the swan geese. The two sides are not far apart.
As for why the dignified Youzhou Pastoral Association was driven out of its seat in Guangyang County and ran to the next door Shanggu County, we have to start with Yuan Benchu, the source of all evil.
To be precise, it starts with Yuan Benchu's plan to capture Jizhou.
He initially decided to be surrounded on all sides by mobilizing surrounding princes to surround Jizhou and force Han Fu to give up his throne.
Among them, Liu Dai from Yanzhou in the south and Zhang Yang from Bingzhou in the west were both former friends of Luoyang. Yuan Shao was very confident that he could get them to put pressure on Han Fu with just a little provocation, but Liu Yu in the north was the only unstable factor.
In terms of reputation and strength, Liu Bo'an is second to none among the princes, and Yuan Benchu may not necessarily agree with him.
Moreover, after the previous failure to support him, Liu Yu was quite wary of Yuan Shao - the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family were favored by the Han Dynasty, but none of the two brothers left behind was good, and he wanted to make another With the establishment of a new king, the wolf's ambition has become clear.
Therefore, Yuan Shao judged that a weak Jizhou Mu was more in Liu Yu's interests. Not only would he not put pressure on Han Fu, but he would probably send troops to help relieve the siege. There is no need to actually start a fight, just a slight gesture is enough to make Zhang Yang and Liu Dai, the two atmosphere groups he called, hesitate.
No matter how cowardly Han Fu was, with Liu Yu's support, he would probably not hand over the seal letter of Zhou Mu. When the time comes, my lone army will be exhausted, plus Ju Yi's [-] soldiers who died first, they will all be exhausted.
Therefore, Yuan Shao chose to do the next best thing and wrote a letter to contact Gongsun Zan - as long as he brought his troops and horses to make some noise on the border of the two states, that is, in the Guangchang and Gaoyang areas, Zhongshan Kingdom and Hejian Kingdom could choose between them. One.
This is undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone. Gongsun Zan has outstanding military exploits. Not to mention in Youzhou, he is famous throughout the northern border of the Han Dynasty. He is more than enough to intimidate Han Fu. What's more important is that everyone regards him as Liu Yu's number one double bonus!
Once Gongsun Zan leads his troops south and appears in Jizhou, not only will the military encirclement of Jizhou be completed, it will also completely eliminate Han Fu's luck and pave the way for his lobbyist team to play its role.
From the beginning to the end, Yuan Shao had no intention of fighting Han Fu to the point of life and death.
The so-called strategy of attacking with troops means to replace them without bloodshed.
In the final analysis, what he wants is a completely prosperous Jizhou, a Jizhou that can become the foundation of hegemony.
Regardless of how sincere Yuan Shao's promise was, Gongsun Zan eagerly agreed.
Liu Yu's pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Speaking of which, this has a lot to do with Xu Jiashu - when he was in Chang'an, he interfered with it, causing the historical plot of Liu He's escape to be aborted. Liu Yu was not deceived by Yuan Shu into taking thousands of cavalry, and his strength was far stronger than in history. Much more. But being stronger does not mean that the relationship between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan will be easier than in history.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably give in when faced with such an immediate boss, but who was Gongsun Bogui? How could he be willing to be controlled by Liu Yu and become his tool?
nonexistent.
Gongsun Zan said that he did not want to stay here, but had his own place to stay. He took his elite troops, the world-famous three thousand white horse followers, to leave the front line without authorization and went south from Youbeiping County.
Baima Yicong's logistics supplies have always relied on Liu Yu, and in order to prevent Gongsun Zan from attacking without permission, the food and grass supply has always been very tight. As they all moved south, the food and grass supplies quickly ran out as expected.
Gongsun Zan, who deeply felt that he was a bird in the sky and a fish in the sea, ordered his men to plunder the people as usual. Considering that he would have his own foundation after completing this task, this time he not only reached out to the newly resettled refugees, but also to the powerful people along the way. The manor was not spared.
Baima Yicong walked like this, grabbing all the way, swaggering through the entire Youzhou, like an unscrupulous worker before leaving his job.
Originally, Gongsun Zan had done this before, but the powerful people were not powerless to resettle the refugees. Someone soon filed a complaint against Liu Yu. This time, Liu Yu didn't tolerate him. He ordered his men to lead the cavalry to block the southern end of the Liaoxi Corridor.
This is the only way to go south from Youbeiping County. Liu Yu planned to wait and settle all the big and small accounts over the years together with Gongsun Zan. Unexpectedly, his subordinate Gongsun Ji betrayed him and informed Gongsun Zan of the plan in advance.
Wait, Gongsun Ji?
Xu Jiashu touched his chin, but he couldn't remember Gongsun and this person.
In fact, it is normal not to remember. This Gongsun Ji was not from the same clan as Gongsun Zan. They just had the same surname and were not related by blood. And the reason why this person betrayed his lord without hesitation is very simple:
Although Liu Yu's benevolent government and his lenient approach to foreigners were very popular among the people, in the final analysis, they only benefited the people at the bottom. Instead, they suppressed the soldiers headed by Gongsun Zan, making these Youyan men fight against him.
Everyone only knows that General Baima is a native of Youzhou. He is never merciless in fighting foreigners. No one in the entire northern border of the Han Dynasty is dissatisfied. However, you, the clan minister, are against him at every turn. You are really nothing!
With Gongsun Ji's tip-off, Gongsun Zan used his own prestige to persuade the cavalry to turn against them. These cavalry were the main force fighting against the foreigners. They had many cooperation with Baima Yicong, and they had a deep friendship with each other, which was directly and seamlessly connected.
In the end, the thousands of cavalrymen Xu Jiashu inadvertently helped Liu Yu save were not deceived by Yuan Shu, but instead took advantage of Gongsun Zan. It can only be said that the world is unpredictable, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, which is not something ordinary people can predict.
With most of the cavalry troops in Youzhou in his hands, Gongsun Zan suddenly realized something - do I still need to go south? Wouldn't it be over if we directly lead the troops to argue our interests with Liu Bo'an?
Nearly ten thousand cavalry turned around and headed west to Jixian, besieging Liu Yu who knew nothing about it. Unfortunately, in the winter, this kind of pure cavalry troops really couldn't attack the city, so Gongsun Zan had no choice but to order the city to be set on fire, and led several soldiers to do so. Hundreds of elite soldiers took advantage of the fire to cover up the enemy and won a great victory.
Liu Yu fled north to Juyong County, where he was discovered soon after and was besieged again.
Gongsun Zan, who had already occupied Jixian County, changed his mind and decided to capture Liu Yu alive and treat him as a puppet in front of the stage. He did not intend to repeat the battle of Jixian County, but laid siege slowly and waited for Liu Yu to surrender.
It was in this desperate situation that Liu Yu came up with the trick of sending a message to Hongyan, and the person he asked for help was Han Fu in the south.
After all, with Gongsun Zan's temperament, if he takes Youzhou, Jizhou and even the whole of Hebei will never have peace again. As long as Han Fu can buy him some time, Liu Yu may not be able to wait for the counties to react.
After finally sorting out the matter, Xu Jiashu was a little confused about what to say - after working on it for a long time, Liu Yu misjudged the situation and hurriedly sent a big wave to Gongsun Zan, which led to two consequences.
First, Gongsun Zan recruited the main cavalry force from Youzhou. Considering that the Liangzhou cavalry was still being formed, this cavalry should be ranked among the top two in the world alongside Lu Bu's cavalry in Bingzhou. On the Hebei Plain, it is probably difficult to defeat an enemy in a field battle.
Secondly, Gongsun Zan's attention shifted to Liu Yu, which led to the delay in completing the siege of Jizhou. Han Fu always had a sense of luck and did not choose to give up the position of Zhou Mu.
In other words, the two losers in history regard each other as their last psychological support at this time. Once one of them falls, the other will surrender. What is this strange alliance called?
Just call it Avengers (bushi)
"So Liu Bo'an is about to be finished?", perhaps because the matter had nothing to do with him, Dong Bai saw it quickly and came to such a conclusion.
"It's probably like this," Lu Lingqi answered: "Gongsun Bogui is brave and good at fighting. Not to mention in Youzhou, he is also very popular in the entire northern border. The soldiers all respect this white horse general. Liu Yu is lenient to the people. Benevolence can win the hearts of the people but not the hearts of the military."
When it comes to [people's hearts], Miss Lu seems quite dismissive.
No matter how much Confucian disciples advocate benevolent government, the people's support cannot help Liu Yu defeat Gongsun Zan. At most, after Liu Yu died unexpectedly, shedding a few tears for this state pastor who had many good deeds would be the end of benevolence - everyone is very happy just to be alive. I'm tired and can't really do more.
"Liu Bo'an is suitable for being an official in peacetime, but the princes in troubled times are really not suitable for him." Xu Jiashu couldn't help but say a few good words for Liu Yu. "He is not a fool, but he just thinks that the system and official position are still effective due to inertia. "
To put it simply, he is a little slow and has not yet adjusted to the mentality that should be expected in a time of great strife. Even with an opponent like Gongsun Zan who has already broken his skin, all he can think of is to capture him and send him to Luoyang to make the court punish him.
"But this has nothing to do with us." Dong Bai tilted his head and thought, "Our mission is to find Lu Zhi and convey the will to him."
After conveying the will, you can move freely!
Not noticing that Dong Bai was thinking about finishing work early and going to play together, Xu Jiashu nodded and replied: "Having said that, the affairs of Youzhou and Jizhou are closely related. If Liu Yu is defeated, Han Fu will soon support him." Can’t go down anymore.”
Right now, these two Avengers are in a situation where both are prosperous and both suffer losses.
"Then it depends on what Lu Zhi says." Dong Bai grasped the key point easily. "Anyway, he and Liu Yu are both in Shanggu County now, and he is also Gongsun Zan's teacher. Maybe he will ask Gongsun Zan to withdraw his troops just by talking?"
"That's right." Xu Jiashu put the silk book into his arms and nodded: "The most important thing now is to find Mr. Lu."
Carrying the silk book, the three of them rushed to the agreed place in the night.
Guangning County.
