Chapter 337 Fighting Xuzhou

Shamoko is back home...

Recall that since Guanghe met in six years and Sanchou Changsha became brothers with different surnames, they have never left each other for ten years.

Now this parting, but I don't know when we will meet again.

Dong Bi always had a feeling that he pushed Rusha into the fire pit.

It's no wonder that he has such feelings, so how can Zhou Lang be a good person to get along with?Now Sun Ce is becoming more and more prosperous in the south.Wen Youyu turned Hua Xin, Wu You Zhou Yu Cheng Pu, plus the five tigers of the Wen family, can be regarded as a strong army.

Shamoko...

Dong Bi was really troubled for a long time because of this.

He found Li Ru, and secretly ordered him to try to install a secret agent in the nine counties of Jingxiang, so that it would be convenient for Sha Moke at that time.

Sha Moke is now an eagle released, how high he can fly, Dong Bi can't predict, so he can only try his best to help.

It was also because of this incident that when the queen of the Jingjue Kingdom moved to Gaochangbi, Dong Bi failed to appease her.

Gaochangbi, after many wars, has long been dilapidated.

From a tactical point of view, there is no use value here.

But from a strategic point of view, taking back Gaochangbi means that the Han Dynasty regained control of the Western Regions, which is naturally different from ordinary towns.

Re-establishing the dignity of the Han Dynasty is the only way to gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong were the first to stand up and express their agreement, and they believed that Gaochangbi should be the seat of Wang Zhi.

What is Wangzhi?

To put it bluntly, it is to raise the banner of Liu Bian.

Take Gaochangbi as the royal city, and suggested that Liu Bian change the title of the king, and change the king of Hongnong to the king of Gaochang, which represents the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

On this point, Yang Xu, who likes to sing against Dong Bi, also agrees with both hands.

But Dong Bi didn't want that.

He has a jade seal in his hand, which is something that even Cai Yan is not very clear about. Except for Dong Pi and Li Ru, no one knows the existence of the jade seal.The reason why Dong Bi didn't let Liu Bian ascend the throne is because the time is not ripe yet.

According to his idea, regain Sansuke and gain a foothold in Chang'an.

At that time, with Yuxi representing the destiny of the country and Liu Bian ascending the throne in Chang'an, the effect may be more obvious.

Gaochangbi...it's too desolate.

If Liu Bian came here to establish Wangzhi, he would have to spend a lot of money and food, which didn't seem to fit Dong Bi's concept.

In the end, it was Zhuge Jin who came up with the idea.

"Juyan City is indeed not suitable to be ruled by a king. It is far from being comparable to Gaochangbi in shocking the Western Regions. What the Lord is worried about is spending money and food, but it doesn't matter. Cheshi Kingdom, Beilu Kingdom, and Yizhi and other countries were defeated. In the end, although there are strong and strong people who have filled the begging army, there are still old and weak women and children. Why not build a royal city with fame, which is better than offering for nothing... In addition, part of the wealth gathered by the royal families of various countries can also be set aside. Although the cost is a waste It’s a bit rough, but in the long run, the Western Regions are ultimately under the control of the lord, so it’s not a big deal to repair it.”

After Dong Bi thought twice, he finally adopted Zhuge Jin's suggestion.

Liu Bian stayed in Gaochangbi for the time being, while Dong Bi moved the government office and arrived first. On the original site of Gaochangbi, he allocated [-] hectares of land to rebuild the royal city.This is a very huge project, with Pu Yuan as the general minister, responsible for supervising the construction of the new royal city.

Of course, the specific naturalization in Wangcheng was designed by Liu Hong.

In this respect, Liu Hong is obviously an expert and can be regarded as a qualified design master.

******
After entering June, the rebuilding work of Wangcheng has started on a large scale.

However, Dong Yu stopped expanding westward after Banzhi went down to Ronglu, Ruo (chuo, four tones) and Qiang.

Because if you go further west, you will enter the vassal states of Dawan and Wusun.

Dong Bi didn't want to fight Dawan Wusun prematurely before Jia Xu's long-distance and short-range attack strategy was implemented.At the same time, digesting the occupied areas also requires a process.If you act too hastily, it will backfire, and Dong Bi is very aware of the pros and cons.

The fighting has stopped, and the next step is to recuperate.

Dawan Wusun obviously also sensed the pressure brought by Dong Bi, and immediately dispatched troops and generals to take a defensive posture.

No one expressed any wishes to the other party, anyway, they entered into a state of confrontation tacitly.

After half a year of war and turmoil in the Western Regions, it temporarily calmed down.

At the same time, under the impetus of Dong Bi, Zhangye took the lead in implementing rural studies and county studies.

Since ancient times, reading and literacy has been a right controlled by the nobles, and ordinary people have no access to it, let alone the people in the wilderness.Regardless of origin, high or low, anyone who has reached the age can enter the rural school to study.

As soon as this news spread, the sensation caused in the four counties of Hexi can be imagined.

There are pros and cons...

Of course, more people were silently watching the development of the situation from the sidelines.

Even the princes of the Central Plains, including Ma Teng, wanted to find out what kind of medicine was being sold in the Dong family's throat.

Sitting in the simple hall of the government office, Dong Bi shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Yue Zhang, what can I think?"

Scratching his head, Dong Yu said: "You have also seen that as we continue to advance westward, there are fewer and fewer people who can do things. When we were guarding Hexi earlier, it was easier to talk about it, but now... Ziyu now Seeing me every day is to ask me to send him to stop. The military adviser and brother-in-law are barely enough now. The reconstruction of Wutu Valley and other places, the resettlement of immigrants... and Dichi, although Zeng Ci did not say, But I know, he also has a headache."

"Then you build this rural school..."

Dong Bi scratched his head, "Actually, it's nothing. I just read books, know a few characters, and know when to do things. Although it's not very useful, it can make Ziyu and the others relieve their pressure. Moreover, the place will become more and more prosperous in the future." It’s big, people are always needed to manage it. Scholars don’t want to go to this barren land, and the locals may not be willing to accept the management of outsiders. Instead of doing this, it’s better to train some local people, and it will be more convenient to manage it when the time comes. "

Cai Yong gently shook the folding fan, groaning silently.

In fact, this is not Dong Bi's invention.As early as a few years ago, Fa Yan formulated the strategy of using the barbarians to control the barbarians, but now it is just a change of place, from Shuofang to the Western Regions.Naturally, Cai Yong could also understand the many benefits of this.

"The Western Regions have been a barren land since ancient times. It's good for Xiping to have such an idea. But there are so many people studying, where can you get a teacher to teach you?"

Dong Bi smiled, "It's simple. I have already discussed with the Zhang family in Shuzhong and the Mi family in Xuzhou. There are many poor people in Guandong and Shuzhong. I don't ask him to have much ability, as long as he can read and write , It’s just so-so. The Guandong and Guanzhong are in turmoil, and there must be a lot of people who can’t eat and want to make a living.”

"But if people don't want to come..."

"If you don't come, I'll buy it with money!"

What Dong Chu said sounds good.If you put it more bluntly, it is to grab it!

Through Zhang Song in Shuzhong and Mizhu in Xuzhou, let them arrest those poor people who can read and write, and Dong Bi just pays for it.

To put it more clearly: the slave trade!

Cai Yong has no objection to this.

Anyway, I have already reached this part, and there is nothing I can't tear my skin off, so I can do whatever I want...

Standing up, "Xiping, I don't have any objection to you doing this. It's just that you want an idea, so don't let the hearts of the people be cold."

"What did I do? When did I freeze their hearts?"

Dong Bi was confused and did not understand the meaning of Cai Yong's words.

Cai Yong also couldn't tell, but he just vaguely felt that if this matter spread out, the meaning might not be as simple as what Dong Bi said.

Forget it, what to do, Xiping himself knows what to do.

I'm getting old too, just stay in the Taixue and teach those children, why bother with so many things?

After dinner, Cai Yong went back to the house to teach the children.

Dong Bi stretched his muscles and was about to practice martial arts in the martial arts field, but he saw Li Ru hurried over with Fazheng.

With a smile on his face, Li Ru walked in and said, "Master, good news!"

"What good news?"

"Look, this is the news sent by Twelve from Xuzhou."

Dong Bi was not in a hurry to read the information, but took Fazheng's hand and sat down.

Fazheng is already twenty. .

The innocence when we first met in Luoyang back then has long since disappeared.Instead, there is a calm and capable temperament.

For Fazheng, Dong Bi also felt guilty.

If Fa Yan hadn't defected to him, he probably wouldn't have...

"Xiaozhi, how are you doing these days?"

This filial piety is the word Fazheng chose for himself.

Hearing Dong Bi's inquiry, he hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you for your concern, my lord. Fazheng is doing well now."

There was a stubbornness between the brows.I heard that after Fa Yan's death, the child became very silent and diligent.

Li Ru is very satisfied with Fazheng, and often praises him for being like a father.

After talking to Fazheng a few words in a gentle manner, Dong Bi opened the information, glanced at it by the candlelight, and couldn't help but gasp.

"I didn't expect it to be so interesting!"

He raised his head, looked at Li Ru and said, "Brother-in-law, did you see that the person I introduced seems to be pretty good?"

******
Outside the city of Xiapi, banners are flying.

Cao Cao, with his helmet on and his burqa tied, gritted his teeth and looked at a general in the opposite formation.

"Liu Bei's traitor, first stopped my army, and then sneaked into my camp, severely wounding Ziyi... All the generals, who will take this man with me?"

It is not unreasonable for Cao Cao to be so angry.

I wanted to pick up my father and come to Yanzhou to enjoy the blessings. What a joy to be a member of the family?Unexpectedly, he was attacked by Tao Qian, and none of the 43 members of his family survived.Cao Cao, who was digesting Qingzhou, fainted when he heard the bad news.

Since ancient times, it has been worse than family members!
This is a phrase that even a three-year-old can say.

I hate that Tao Qian, who claims to be a benevolent gentleman, did such despicable things.

I attack you Xuzhou, that is a conflict of interests between you and me.But, you shouldn't sneak attack my family.

After Cao Cao woke up, regardless of the dissuasion of everyone, he immediately mobilized soldiers and horses, and the soldiers entered Xuzhou in two ways.

Tai Shici sent troops from Pei County and invaded Pengcheng State first.

Tao Qian's men, how could they be Tai Shici's opponents, were defeated and returned.

And Cao Cao sent troops from Qingzhou, with Xia Houdun as the vanguard officer and Li Dianlejin as the deputy general, and entered Langya County from Santing.

Passing all the way, it was smooth at the beginning.

But when he arrived at Jiqiu, he suddenly received a battle report: Yuan Shao sent Juhu as the coach, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu rushed to help Xuzhou as the vanguard.First, he broke Yanzhou's soldiers and horses, and then attracted Tai Shici to return to his teacher for rescue, and lay in ambush on Taishi Ci's way back.In a great battle, Tai Shici was injured by Guan Yu. If Cao Ren and Cao Chun hadn't rescued him desperately, he would have died in the chaos.

Who is this Liu Bei?

Then what is Guan Yu's background?Cao Cao knew Tai Shici's ability.Among the generals, he can be ranked in the top five, and he is indeed a rare hero.It is said that he was beheaded by Guan Yu in only three rounds. Could it be another Dong Xiping?

But at this time, Cao Cao can never turn back.

Urging the troops to move on, they arrived at the foot of Xiapi City.

Originally, I wanted to rest for a night before fighting, but I didn't expect Liu Bei to attack in the middle of the night, forcing Cao Cao's soldiers to retreat fifteen miles.

Cao Cao saw Guan Gong's ability.

It is true that there is undue courage...

Now it's when enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.Cao Cao also knew that if he wanted to kill Tao Qian for revenge, it would be impossible without defeating Liu Bei.

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, a general behind him urged his horse to rush out of the formation.

I saw him with a black helmet and black armor, and a black and blue battle robe.In the palm of his hand was a 78-jin nine-eared and eight-ringed machete, ringing loudly.

The horse with a green mane under its crotch is majestic and murderous.

who is it?

Cao Cao was overjoyed, the general was none other than Xu Chu, Zhechong's lieutenant beside him.

Xu Chu and Tai Shici have a very good relationship.

In fact, not only Xu Chu, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan and others, as well as Tai Shici are all good.Taishi Ci has high martial arts skills and superb archery skills.At the same time, he is modest and knows how to advance and retreat.Although he joined late, he is very popular among Cao Cao's hard drives.

Moreover, Xu Chu also learned archery from Tai Shici, and when he heard that Tai Shici was injured, Xu Chu was naturally extremely furious.

The end is that people are like tigers, and horses are like dragons.

Xu Chu opened his eyes wide and shouted sharply, "Where is Guan Yu? Then where is Guan Yunchang? Your grandfather is here, why don't you come over to die."

There is a row of people under the banner of the big flag.

In the middle is Tao Qian, with Tao Qian's trilogy on the left, and Juhu, Liu Bei and Guan Yu on the right.

Juhu, the son of Jushou, was 28 years old.

A very magnanimous person, not only inherits the origin of family education, but also has learned martial arts from famous teachers since childhood.

As the leader of the army this time, he has another task: to observe Liu Bei.

It's just that Juhu doesn't quite understand, why does his father care so much about such a person?Very humble, and knowledgeable.

Although one ear is missing, it shows a strong spirit.

Almost everyone who has interacted with him will have a good impression of him.Even Juhu himself is no exception.

Xu Chu was scolding in front of the battle, Guan Gongdan narrowed his phoenix eyes into a line, twisted his beard with his hands, and dragged the Qinglong Yanyue knife backwards in his hand, throwing away one by one, he urged his horse to go out to meet the enemy.

But before he could fight, Tao Qian killed a general.

He yelled sharply: "A mere idiot, I'll kill him..."

This man's name is Liang Gang, he is from Nanyang, he has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he is skilled in swords and horses. He is quite a powerful general under Tao Qian.

Who is Guan Yu?

This is Xiapi, and even Guan Yu, a mere unknown soldier, would not be able to show his prestige.

There is a saying, there is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.Liang Gang is not very convinced by Guan Gong, and he doesn't want outsiders to show off his prestige.

With the machete in his palm, he urged the horse to charge towards Xu Chu.

Liang Gang's martial arts is indeed good, but it also depends on who he compares with.At least in Xu Chu's eyes, this person is not worth mentioning.

After the two had fought for six or seven rounds, Xu Chu made a mistake and chopped Liang Gang off his horse.

The big knife rubbed against the bottom of the boot, and he shouted sharply: "Guan Yunchang, you idiot... Could it be that you are afraid of Grandpa?"

What a proud man Guan Gong is!
Hearing Xu Chu say such words, he immediately flew into a rage.

Danfeng's eyes suddenly opened, flashing brightly.Urging the horse to rush out of the formation, he yelled: "Nobody, your second master is here."

There is another update, try to hand it over before twelve o'clock, but it is not necessarily, anyway, it is about half an hour before and after.
