Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 208 Liu Bei Occupies Donglai

Leaving aside the war in the north for the time being, let’s talk about the three of Liu, Guan and Zhang. After abandoning Gongsun Zan and leaving that day, the three wandered around, and finally found Beihai to join Kong Rong.

Besides, Kong Rong is also a strange character.A native of Lu State (now Qufu, Shandong).A litterateur in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", with a family background, he is the [-]th grandson of Confucius and the son of Kong Zhou, the captain of Taishan.

Kong Rong has few talents and is diligent and studious. He is also known as Pingyuan Tao Qiuhong and Chen Liubianrang.After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he served as Zhonghou of the Northern Army, General of Huben Zhonglang, and Prime Minister of Beihai. He was called Kong Beihai at that time.During his six years in office, he built cities, established schools, promoted talents, demonstrated Confucianism, and later served as governor of Qingzhou.In the first year of Jian'an (196), Yuan Tan attacked Beihai, Kong Rong fought fiercely with him for several months, and finally fled to Shandong.Soon, he was conscripted by the court as a master craftsman, moved to the Shaofu, and served as a doctor in the Taizhong.Good-natured guest, likes to criticize current affairs, speaks fiercely, and was later killed for offending Cao Cao.

Kong Rong was good at poetry and prose, and Cao Pi called his prose "Yang (Yang Xiong) and Ban (Ban Gu) Chou Ye."

At this time, Kong Rong had not been defeated by Yuan Tan, but was surrounded by tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves led by Guan Hai, the remnant member of the Yellow Turbans. Kong Rong's general Wu Anguo was also defeated by Guan Hai. Kong Rong was helpless for a while.But someone from Kong Rong's subordinates said: "I know that one person can save Beihai."

"Who is it? Come quickly!"

As soon as he heard that someone could solve the siege of Beihai, Kong Rong hurriedly asked as if he had grasped the straw.

"This man is the uncle of the Great Han Emperor. He also fought against the Yellow Turban Bandits back then. When the Eighteenth Route Lords were begging for Dong. You must have seen this man. This man is Lu Zhi's disciple, Zhuojun Liu Bei!"

"Oh? Is this true?"

Kong Rong asked again.

"Of course!" the man replied.

"Okay, since that's the case, quickly find someone to invite!"

It is said that after Liu Bei arrived in Beihai, he led the Beihai Navy horse out of the city to face Guan Hai.

"The general will announce his name. I will not kill the nameless rat!"

Guan Hai shouted loudly.

At this time, Liu Bei's subordinates and generals were all in short supply. Seeing that Guan Hai was so majestic, he couldn't help but want to recruit him. He said to Guan Hai, "I am Liu Bei, the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan. The hero is so brave. Why do you want to be a thief, the world is in chaos, and thieves are everywhere, just when a man is making great achievements, is it true that a strong man is going to be a thief for the rest of his life?"

"Hmph, what I do has nothing to do with you. If you want me to surrender to you, you have to show the strength to make me surrender. Don't gossip, fight if you want!"

Guan Hai roared loudly.

"Hehe, okay, I hope the strong man will not break his promise, second brother and third brother, which one of you will catch this man with me!"

Liu Bei turned to look at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Brother, let third brother go, I'm afraid I'll kill this person by accident!"

Guan Yudan narrowed his eyes and stroked his beautiful beard.

"Okay, since the second brother gave me the credit, then I will be disrespectful!"

As he said that, Zhang Fei swung the Zhangba Snake Spear, clamped the big black horse under his crotch, and rushed towards Guan Hai.

In fact, Liu Bei took a fancy to Guan Hai's military strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had no soldiers in his hands, so he valued Guan Hai's soldiers and horses.

"Hi!"

The two horses met, Zhang Fei used the spear, Guan Hai used the sword, and the two fought together.

But Guan Hai was only a peak second-rate general, at best a top-notch general. After fighting Zhang Fei for [-] rounds, he was exhausted and out of breath.

"Oh!"

Zhang Fei took advantage of Guan Hai's unpreparedness.A spear swept Guan Hai off the horse, then grabbed Guan Hai's belt and brought him back to Liu Bei.

"Guan Hai, are you convinced?"

Liu Bei looked at Guan Hai with a smile and asked.

"Hmph! You are only white, what right do you have to order me!"

Guan Hai opened his angry eyes and shouted at Liu Bei.

"Although I am white, I can wash away your traitorous body for you. You have seen my third brother's skill just now. Do you think we will stay under others for a long time?"

Liu Bei persuaded again.

Guan Hai also bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and thought to himself: "If I don't listen to him at this time, then my life will definitely be lost, and that man with leopard head and eyes around him is really good at martial arts, so it's better to be under his hands first." Stay for a while, and if you find a good place, find another place."

Thinking of this, Guan Hai immediately knelt down to Liu Bei, and said: "Thanks to the general's kindness for not killing, Guan Hai is willing to serve under the lord's command, with the saddle and the horse behind, with swords and flames, and ten thousand deaths!"

"Okay, Guan Hai, I wonder if you can convince the soldiers under you!"

Liu Bei asked urgently again.

"Of course, they all came out with me, and they all listened to me. Since I followed the lord, they are also the lord's soldiers."

From then on, Guan Hai's soldiers and horses were all owned by Liu Bei, and Kong Rong sent Liu Bei to Donglai County to station troops. Since then, Liu Bei has tens of thousands of troops and horses in his hands, and he has a place to station.Recruit troops, hoard food and grass!

"Liu Wei, sooner or later, I will go back to Liaozhou to get his head!"

In Donglai County, Liu Bei was diagnosing things in the county government office, but secretly hated him.

It turned out that Liu Bei and Liu Wei were both clansmen of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Wei was in trouble, but he, Liu Bei, only had this barren Donglai County. Compared with Liu Wei, he, Liu Bei, was nothing!

But Liu Bei is kind on the surface, but his heart is extremely dark. He always fantasizes that one day he can become the emperor of the Han Dynasty.After all, when he was young, Liu Bei said that he was the emperor and the big tree was his frame.Such a rebellious thing to say at a young age.It can be seen that this person's wolf ambition.

Let's talk about Li Jue and Guo Si in Chang'an City. Since defeating Lu Bu, these two people have been arrogant and domineering, and they have no emperor. They have humiliated Emperor Han Xian even more than Dong Zhuo.The other civil and military officials did not dare to speak out, and even when Liu Xie said something that made them unhappy, they would yell at Liu Xie!
The life of Han Xiandi Liu Xie was not even as good as ordinary people.Live in dire straits every day.

Uncle Dong Cheng really couldn't stand the arrogance of these two people, so he plotted to get rid of these two people. However, all the troops in Chang'an City were controlled by these two people. God, there is no soldier in hand, how can we fight against these two thieves.

But Taiwei Yang Biao came up with a plan to turn the two against each other, leading troops and horses to fight in the city every day, and the number of dead soldiers was not very high.But the number of people who die every day ranges from thousands to hundreds. After a month, the number of people killed and injured is shocking.

At this time, Dong Cheng conspired to let Cao Cao go to Beijing to rescue him.In the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was summoned to Beijing.
