Chapter 493 Onozawa ([-])

"Zixiao misunderstood me, Zixiao misunderstood me!"

When the news of Lu Bu's death in Hongquepi reached Puyang, Cao Cao sat in the government office, unable to utter a word for a long time.

At this point, no matter what purpose Lu Bu came to help him?Cao Cao knew very well that he had miscalculated...

It is said that Nalu Bu plundered Guan Yu's grain road more than ten times in Runan, forcing Guan Yu to mobilize heavy troops from Dingying and Xiping to encircle and suppress.If Cao Ren had been able to cooperate at that time, Runan might have been lost and regained.But in the face of that situation, Cao Ren stood still.To use Cao Ren's words to explain: Although the abnormal movement in Runan was discovered, the enemy's situation was unknown, so that they dared not act rashly.

What else can Cao Cao say?

It's not easy to say clearly about this matter before the battle.Since Cao Ren was allowed to govern the war in Runan, Cao Cao could no longer blame Cao Ren.After all, Cao Cao didn't feel at ease with Lu Bu at the beginning... and he could only reprimand him secretly in his heart.

Lu Bu died, but it was not easy for Guan Yu to win the next battle.

On the contrary, Cao Cao didn't have time to be sad about Lu Bu's death.The Battle of Puyang has lasted for more than half a year, and it cannot be dragged on any longer.Otherwise, even if he wins against Yuan Shao, his vitality will be seriously injured.It seems that the last resort must be used.

Cao Cao immediately called Lu Su and the others, and after giving such and such orders, Lu Su and the others took the order and left.

After Lu Su and others left, Cao Cao looked at the battle report from Runan on the long case, and sighed faintly.

Don't miss this opportunity, never miss it again!

If you want to take back Runan now, I'm afraid it won't be that simple anymore...

******
The summer of the fifth year of Taiping came very early.

In April, the temperature becomes extremely hot.The north has encountered an unprecedented severe drought, and Jizhou will face the dilemma of no crops.In the land of Jingzhou, there was also a disaster.However, unlike the drought in the north, the continuous heavy rain in Jingbei caused the river to surge.The Yiling River broke its embankment, and thousands of miles of fertile land turned into a flood; the Han River in Neishan burst its embankment, and Jinglingnan Township was submerged by violent floods.

In addition, the continuous floods in various places made the disaster situation in Jingxiang more and more serious.

Liu Biao dragged his sick body and presided over the dilapidated situation.However, how can the disaster be solved all at once?
The situation in Xichuan is gradually stabilizing.According to the news from Xizuo, Xu Rong has already started recruiting troops from all sides in Xichuan, plus 20 troops from Hanzhong, the total number exceeds 50.Now stationed in Qianwei County and Ba County, practicing all day long, he may leave Sichuan at any time.

In addition, Jingnan is controlled by Shamoke, and it is estimated that 80 troops will come to Weishan by then. How can Liu Biao not panic?

Fortunately, the Jingnan Waterway has been controlled by Zhou Yu.

In early April, Sun Quan was killed in Changsha after he was captured by Shamoke.Under Sun Ce's strict order, Zhou Yu launched a fierce attack on the Jingnan navy.At the end of April and the beginning of May, the Jiangdong navy broke through Ganning's Jinfan camp in the waters between Anlu and Hanyang.

In this battle, Gan Ning's Jinfan Battalion was almost wiped out.

Nearly a hundred buildings and boats were destroyed on the river, and hundreds of warships were exhausted... The chief general Gan Ning even took only two buildings and more than ten warplanes and fled into Yunmeng Lake to hide.After experiencing this battle, the Jiangdong navy completely took advantage of the water.

Liu Biao began to worry...

Although it is said that he has already formed an alliance with Jiangdong, the navy that crosses the river is not his Jingzhou people after all.If things go on like this, what is the use of suppressing the navy in Guanzhong?It is definitely not a good thing for the throat of the waterway to be strangled by Jiangdong.

"Kong Ming, please take a trip to Jiangxia, and tell me that the Guanzhong water army is no longer a threat, and I, the Jingzhou navy, will take care of the rest. I am very grateful for the assistance of Jiangdong this time. There will be more in the future." Thank you very much... well, let's do it like this."

The implication of that is: Thank you very much for your old Sun family to send troops to help.Now I can solve it by myself, so I don't want to bother you any more.I am very grateful that you Jiangdong have made great efforts, but in the current situation, please leave Jiangdong.

Zhuge Liang frowned upon hearing this.

This is a typical case of crossing a river and tearing down bridges. You asked Zhou Yu to withdraw from Jingxiang just after Gan Ning was dealt with earlier?
Difficult, difficult, difficult!
Zhuge Liang had his own plan, and he asked the Jiangdong navy to take action, which was indeed in danger of attracting wolves into the house.However, when Zhou Yu and Gan Ning are almost ready to fight, Jingzhou only needs to block the main waterway to swallow the Jiangdong navy.He did not expect that Gan Ning would lose so miserably, and he did not expect that Liu Biao would feel threatened so quickly.It's really not a good sign.

I still have to say it, but...

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, then took the order and left.

But at this time, Nanyang prefect Kuai Yue rushed back to Xiangyang.

Liu Biao dragged his sick body and met Kuai Yue in the government office, "Yidu, what's the matter for rushing back from Nanyang in such a hurry?"

Kuai Yue said in a deep voice: "Humblely coming here today is for the future of Duke Jing Sheng."

"Oh?"

"The Yuan-Cao war is coming to an end, and Xichuan is about to send troops to Jingnan. My lord needs to make a plan early, otherwise it will be difficult for me to save Jingbei."

Liu Biao coughed violently, a blush appeared on his sallow face.

"Alien, what do you mean by that?"

Kuai Yue said: "In the past, Jingxiang was blocked by Xichuan, and Jingbei was resisted by Cao Cao. Guanzhong was powerful, but it was difficult to shake our foundation. But now, the barrier of Xichuan is gone, and the four counties in Jingnan have fallen into the hands of the Dong family. , there is only one Cangwu left, and he is still alive. After the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, I am afraid that his vitality will be seriously injured. I am afraid that the barrier in the north of Jingzhou will not be able to exist, the lord needs to make a decision."

Liu Biao said, "Does the other degree have an idea?"

"I have three strategies, which can relieve the Lord's worries."

"Then tell me and listen..."

"The best strategy, my lord, can join hands with Sun Ce, use the Yangtze River as a natural moat, and establish myself as king. My lord is a clan member of the Han family, so I can go to Chang'an and ask for the closure of the country. Follow the example of Nanyue king Zhao Tuo, and rule across the river from the Dong family. It's just that the lord is based in the south of the Yangtze River, but he doesn't have a strong navy. In the long run, the south of the Yangtze River will definitely be controlled by the Jiangdong. Besides, the door of Xichuan is wide open, and the lord will be attacked by the enemy."

Liu Biao remained calm, "Then what is the best strategy?"

Kuai Yue said: "Zhongce, Liu Bei is now using troops in Yingchuan. My lord can send out a team to take Xuchang first, rob the false emperor of Xuchang, and order Sun Liu. Then hand over Yuzhou to Liu Bei and let him block Dong Dong for us. The soldiers and horses of the family. However, Liu Bei is also a treacherous hero, with great ambitions. Once his wings are full, he will definitely look at me above Jingxiang. At that time, the lord will also face the danger of being backlashed."

"So what's the next move?"

"The worst strategy is to go to Chang'an and ask for surrender. Let go of the Nanjun pass and invite Shamoke soldiers and horses to enter Jingbei. In this way, although the lord will no longer be the glory of the overlord, but he will be rich and prosperous in the rest of his life. If there is any fear of life, there is absolutely no problem."

After hearing this, Liu Biao fell into deep thought.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head to look at Kuai Yue, and said with a slight smile, "Yidu, I still need to think about this matter carefully. You must have been exhausted after traveling all the way back from Nanyang. Why don't you go back and rest for a while, let me Think twice, what do you think?"

Kuai Yue didn't repeat himself, and immediately gave a deep salute, "I hope the lord will make a decision soon!"

Liu Biao watched Kuai Yue go away...

Suddenly grabbed the paperweight at hand, smashed it into pieces, and cursed angrily: "Kuai Yue bullied me too much, do you think I can't see your mind?"

As he spoke, he coughed violently and stroked his chest, but couldn't stand up for a long time.

"Daddy, Daddy, what's the matter with you?"

A childish voice came from outside the house, followed by a young man who looked like a jade carving, ran into the room.

This boy is Liu Biao's youngest son, named Liu Cong.Liu Biao has two sons, the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong, both sons of Liu Biao's ex-wife.When Liu Biao was in Luoyang, Liu Qi was very fond of him because he looked like him.As for Liu Cong, because of dystocia, Liu Biao's ex-wife died because of giving birth to Liu Cong, so Liu Biao didn't like Liu Cong very much at that time, even a little disgusted.

However, after Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he married Cai Shi, the daughter of Cai Xi, a Jingzhou aristocratic family.

As for Liu Cong, because he was young at the time, he was quite attached to Cai.Later, he made an engagement with Cai's niece, so that Cai loved Liu Cong very much.He often praised Liu Cong in front of Liu Biao, and Liu Biao's perception of Liu Cong gradually changed.

Seeing Liu Cong coming in, Liu Biao forced a smile, "Why is my son here?"

"Seeing that Daddy is too tired today, so the child asked the kitchen to cook some porridge. Daddy is not in good health and needs a lot of recuperation."

Liu Biao's heart suddenly brightened.

"My son is really sensible, come here... What books have you read recently?"

The father and son talked for a while, and Liu Cong left in a sensible way.Liu Biao sat alone in the study, and after a while, he picked up a pen and wrote down the names of Liu Cong and Liu Qi on the paper.He pondered for a while, drew a line under Liu Cong's name, wrote the words Cai and Kuai, frowned slightly, then drew a circle on Liu Cong's name, shook his head slightly, and sighed .

He grabbed the paper, crumpled it up, and threw it aside.

Liu Biao hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Come on, let Liao Li and Wei Yan come to see me immediately."

"Here!"

"Wait a minute, by the way the eldest son is also here... Oh, I will wait for them in the back garden. After they come, they will come to the garden to meet me."

"Little man understands!"

Leaning on crutches, Liu Biao walked out of the study slowly.It was noon, and the weather was humid and hot.The lush pines and cypresses make people feel a little more refreshed.But Liu Biao still couldn't calm down in his heart.Depending on the situation, the Jingzhou side is full of wind and rain!
Although I, Liu Jingsheng, are down and out, but do you want me to surrender like this?Impossible!
Thinking of this, Liu Biao hit the ground hard with his crutches, then turned around and walked slowly towards the garden.

Two servants walked into the study and began to clean it.One of them picked up the ball of paper on the ground, opened it, glanced at it, and immediately stuffed it into his arms.

"Please Prince Liang to avenge the Lord!"

Gao Shun knelt down and yelled loudly.

Behind him, there are more than a dozen people dressed as generals, all of them came to Chang'an with Gao Shun, kneeling in a row.

The door of the study was closed, and Dong Bi was sitting behind the desk, his eyes were a little dull.

Dong Ji and Lu Xin knelt in front of the desk, looked at Dong Zhu, and said nothing...

The news of Lu Bu's death spread to Chang'an, which indeed caused quite a stir.People of the younger generation may not understand Lu Bu, but people of the older generation, such as Dong Yu Dianwei and others, couldn't help sighing.Did a generation of fierce generals die so inexplicably?
According to the news from the detailed work, Guan Gong did not defeat Lu Bu with upright methods.

Of course, what is there to say about the confrontation between the two armies?It's just that Lu Bu died too badly.Ma Zihong was killed by Xuzhou army's random arrows on the Quebei River Beach.Even the man and the horse were shot at least hundreds of sharp arrows. Guan Yu even beheaded Lu Bu and hung it on the head of Ruyang city.

This should not be the end of a generation of tiger and wolf generals!

No matter what kind of person Lu Bu was, Dong Bi felt that such a solution was really unfair to Lu Bu.

After Yan received the news, she fainted at that time.

If it wasn't for the youngest son still alive, I'm afraid that the Yan family would follow Lu Bu immediately.But even so, Yan's whole person seems to be broken...

Dong Ji and Lu Xin came to beg Dong Bi to avenge Lu Bu.

But before he finished speaking, Gao Shun took a dozen generals and kowtowed outside to beg to see him.

Dong Bi half-closed his eyes and looked at the two people in the room.After a long time, he stood up, walked around the desk, walked to the door of the study, and opened the door.

"Shiying, get up and come in and talk... Let the brothers get up, this matter happened because of me, I always have to give you an explanation."

In Dong Bi's heart, he felt a little guilty towards Lu Bu.

If he hadn't sent people to Runan to persuade Lu Bu, Lu Bu might still be living happily in Runan today.Although it is said that Lu Bu's return to Runan has nothing to do with Dong Pi.But it was all his fault, how could he not feel sad?After the news of Lu Bu's death came to Chang'an, Dong Bi went to visit General Wei's mansion in person.The desolate appearance of the orphan and widow also made Dong Bi feel sad for a while.

Gao Shun heard this, stood up, and gestured to the general behind him.

The generals also got up, retreated to the side, and stood with their hands down.Gao Shun walked into the study with Dong Bi.But when he saw Dong Ji and Lu Xin kneeling on the ground, Gao Shun couldn't help but startled, then understood immediately, and gave Dong Ji a grateful look.

Dong Chuan took a deep breath.

"Bowei, Xin'er, both of you should get up too."

"But father..."

"stand up!"

Dong Bi suddenly yelled, which made Dong Ji shut his mouth in fright, and helped Lu Xin, who was crying into tears, but Dong Bi was too frightened to give birth, to get up together.

"The entanglement between me and Marquis Wen cannot be explained clearly in one sentence. However, I want to say that I admire Marquis Wen very much.

Back then, I was only the Marquis of Anning Ting, Marquis Wen followed Ding Yuan into Luoyang, and once fought a bitter battle outside Beimang.

Bowei may not remember this, but Shiying should.It's a pity that I didn't participate in the subsequent battle under Luoyang City. "

Gao Shun's heart sank when he heard this.

What did King Liang mean by these words?Could it be that he...

"Although King Liang didn't participate at that time, Shiying had a taste of the demeanor of Qihou and Sihou." Gao Shun's words were not without nostalgia.

In a flash, it was already 15 years ago, but it is still vivid in my memory!
"At that time, the young general thought that he was a hero in the world, and he was trapped in the camp. But... General Qu Yi's Beiwei army was evenly matched with the trapped camp. At that time, I had already experienced hundreds of battles in the camp, and Qu Yi The General’s Beiwei Army is still in its infancy... Junhou once said to me later: The Marquis of Anningting has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The uncle and the third master are rare brave generals in his life.”

Dong Chu, smile...

Gao Shun's words, although unavoidable to be suspected of sycophancy, are also a fact.

Dong Yu said: "My father is in charge of Luoyang, and the princes of the 22nd Route will form an alliance with Suanzao. Marquis Wen and I will each guard one side and compare each other! Hehe, at that time, Marquis Wen was in Hulao Pass, so prestige. He even sent someone to deliver a letter to me. Said: The world is strong and brave, but Bu and Xiping. Although we said that Wen Hou and I had all kinds of unhappiness later, and even caused the death of Xiner's elder brother, I still admire Wen Hou very much in my heart.

Bowei, Shiying, and Xiner, do you know why? "

Dong Ji Gao Shun shook his head in unison.

Dong Yu said: "Marquis Wen is of the same background as me, even inferior to me. People in the world judge people by their doors, and our situation is similar... How many humiliations have you experienced when you become the overlord of a party with a martial artist? And setbacks, only we know. My fate is good, I stand firm. But Wenhou... Shiying, Xiner, I can guarantee that I will avenge Wenhou!
But, not now.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.We are not gentlemen, but we have to wait for a few months.

To be honest, in a battle, either you die or I die, and the death of Marquis Wen is also common sense.But Guan Er should not use that method to deal with the majestic tiger and wolf general.Not to mention not keeping a whole body after Marquis Wen's death.This is a disgrace to Marquis Wen, to me, to all warriors in the world.Therefore, I will definitely not let Guan Er go. When the time is right, I will definitely avenge Marquis Wen. "

Upon hearing this, Gao Shun knelt down with Lu Xin.

"Thank you, King Liang Chitose!"

Dong Bi went over to pull Gao Shun and Lu Xin up, and said with a smile: "Bo Wei is cold-tempered, and sometimes too impatient. When I'm not around, Xin Er, you have to remind him all the time, don't let him slap you all day long. Put on a straight face; Shiying, you have to help Bowei more, you have a lot of experience, and you are prudent in situations, don't let him make mistakes because of impatience. Bowei, you have to treat Lu Xin and her family well in the future. "

Lu Xin's face turned red all of a sudden.

And Dong Ji lowered his head even more, speechless...

However, Gao Shun heard some clues from Dong Bi's words.Can't help but glanced at Dong Ji, intervened and said: "The young general will definitely live up to King Liang's entrustment."

"Okay, you go down first."

"Here!"

Dong Ji and Gao Shun Lu Xin exited the room.When he turned around, Dong Ji quietly held Lu Xin's hand, and Lu Xin's face turned even redder.She turned her head and glared at him, then smiled.Dong Ji laughed, Gao Shun laughed, and Dong Bi laughed too!
"Ji Chang, you go to Chengming Hall and inform Chen Gong, Ma Qiao, and Liang Xi Feiwo to come over."

Dong Bi called Ma Liang and was telling him to do something, but at this moment, he heard a commotion outside.Followed by Chen Gong and others hurried in.Chen Gong was out of breath, and the faces of Liang Xi, Gu Yong and others also looked very solemn.

Dong Bi was stunned, and said with a smile: "The gentlemen came just in time, I was planning to ask Ji Chang to go to Chengming Palace to find you."

"Your Highness, something serious happened!"

As soon as Chen Gong entered the door, he spoke loudly.

Ma Liang and Huang Rong were very winking, quietly exited the study, and closed the door with his hand.

But at the moment when the door was closed, Ma Liang and Huang Rong heard Liang Xi's words: "Your Highness, Yuan Shao captured Puyang, and Cao Cao was defeated!"

------

Note: In Chinese history, Da Ye Ze was a huge lake located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, also known as Ju Ye Ze.In ancient times, Yanzhou in the southwest of Shandong was the center of Lu people's activities. In the southwest of Mount Tai and the upper reaches of Guji River (south of the North China Plain), a vast flat land was formed due to the sediment carried by the original water of the Loess Plateau. Lu people came out in groups in the west. The mountain sees this continuous plain, which is called Daye.Juye is called Juye because it is the entrance of Daye.The Ono River flows into a depression in the northeast to form a lake, named Onoze.Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this great lake was more than 20 miles north and south, and more than [-] miles east and west, from the north to the north of the current Juye County to the north of the current Liangshan County.After the Five Dynasties, due to the repeated breaches of the Yellow River, the lake surface was silted up and gradually dried up from south to north. Now Juye, Yuncheng, Jiaxiang and the south of Liangshan have been silted up into flat land, while the north has become Liangshan Lake.Now the lake has retreated to more than [-] kilometers north of Liangshan County (Houji).Therefore, Onozawa has become history and is unknown to the present.
