Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 468 Chaos, all heroes rise together! ([-] words, two chapters combined)

Chenliu County, the county seat.

"Brother Meng De, Miao is incompetent and can't protect the people of Chenliu!" The prefect Zhang Miao bowed his head, bowed to Cao Cao, and said sincerely: "Brother Meng De, please bring peace to Chenliu for me. I would like to respect Brother Meng De. Lord, for brother Mengde to follow suit!"

"Brother Meng Zhuo, don't do this. How can you be so virtuous? How can you take on the heavy responsibility of the people of Chenliu!"

Cao Cao quickly helped Zhang Miao up.

After the vassals of the Kwantung Alliance dispersed, he wanted to lead his army back to Qiao County in Peiguo. It was better than his hometown, but Yuzhou was already occupied by Yuan Shu. If he returned to Peiguo, he would be either a subject or an opponent wish.

When passing by Chenliu, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, stayed as a guest, and his soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties when chasing Mujing, and they needed time to rest. .

But for Chen Liu, his ambitions are actually not great.

As the saying goes, the name is not right and the words are not right.

Although he wanted a place to recuperate, he and Zhang Miao formed an alliance against the enemy and fought side by side. If he sent troops to occupy Chenliu now, it would be morally unjustifiable, and it would also damage his reputation. It was not Cao Mengde's style.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Miao would take the initiative to give up Chen Liu, Zhang Miao's move was beyond his expectation.

"Brother Meng De, there is no need to shirk!"

Zhang Miao bowed his head and knelt on his knees, and said with a firm expression: "If brother Mengde doesn't enter Chenliu, I won't be able to keep Chenliu in the end. Rather than making a living under Yuan Gonglu, the people of Chenliu, it's better to let Chenliu go. Brother Meng De came to govern. Brother Meng De has always been talented in civil and military affairs. In the battle with the shepherds, all the heroes in the Kanto region were timid, but Brother Meng De was not afraid to advance. Although defeat is glorious, in today's world, only Brother Meng De is a hero! "

In fact, he was also forced to have nowhere to go.

He has some choices, and he is unwilling to give up his foundation, but the current situation is that he can't hold Chenliu at all. Yuan Shu has a strong army and has attacked Yuzhou. Now Yuzhou has fallen into Yuan Shu's hands. Look at Yanzhou.

Among Yanzhou, Chenliu County bears the brunt.

Yuan Shu has already sent people to give him three notices, if he doesn't follow, he will fight. Yuan's army is also stationed in Yingchuan. Liu Dai was even more unreliable.

The turmoil in Guanzhong involved the whole world. Qingzhou Huangjin took the opportunity to gather more than [-] troops. Now it is going south to Yanzhou, attacking the city and conquering the territory all the way.

And he has always looked down on Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu's performance was not good when he was in the Kanto Alliance to crusade against the shepherds, and he was afraid of the enemy. Second, but with a self-contained temperament, literary and military strategy, and great ambition, he can be a hero in the world.

"Brother Meng Zhuo is so kind, I dare not refuse to accept it, I will never allow anyone to bully me and the people of Chenliu for a day in Chenliu!"

Cao Cao was not a hypocritical person. He might have doubted Zhang Miao's thoughts before, but after hearing this, he understood Zhang Miao's heart. Zhang Miao thought he couldn't keep Chen Liu, so he wanted to take the burden by himself.

He is also happy.

Chenliu County is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with fertile land and a large population, it is a very good place.

As for Yuan Shu, he has nothing to fear.

So it was a hit and done.

However, he is grateful to Zhang Miao. At this time, it is a great favor to give him a place to settle down. He handed over Zhang Miao and said sincerely: "Brother Meng Zhuo's kindness today, I will remember it in my heart. Zhuo brother will not fail, and operation will never fail Meng table brother!"

……

After winning Chenliu County, Cao Cao's strength naturally increased.

Chen Liunai is in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although he has gone through great battles, his strength has not diminished. Cao Cao quickly expanded his army, with a full strength of [-] troops. After gathering his troops, he began to train troops.

In late August, Yuan Shu sent troops to Chen Liu.

He twice personally led the army.

At the junction of Chenliu and Yingchuan, Cao Jun fought fiercely with Yuan Jun. Cao Cao's generals were brilliant. It fell short, but it shocked Yuan Shu's army.

From then on, he made a name for himself in Chenliu, and the people of Chenliu gradually returned their hearts. At least they thought that he was someone who could keep Chenliu.

In the first ten days of September, on this day, he was repelling Yuan Shu's troops and leading his army back to Chenliucheng, when he heard a news.

"My lord, there is news from Nanyang that Mu Longtu has led his army out of Wuguan!"

The person who reported it was Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu, a native of Dong'a in Dongjun County, is one of Cao Cao's advisers and manages the intelligence network for Cao Cao.

Since Cao Cao took charge of Chenliu, many talents have come to vote. After all, he assassinated Mushan and attacked Mushan according to the order, which won him a reputation among scholars. Cheng Yu is one of the peerless talents, and it is not enough for Cao Cao For half a month, he made repeated suggestions and made great achievements.

"This news surprised a certain family. Dong Zhuo came out in full force, Ma Teng came from Hongnong, and Huangfu Song personally led his troops from Chang'an to Wuguan. Three groups of soldiers attacked him, and he was able to lead the army. Breaking out of Wuguan is amazing!"

Cao Cao sighed: "However, this is expected. When I saw that the princes in the Guandong were burned by him, I knew that he would not be able to keep him in this pass. After leaving Wuguan, I will think about it later." It will be difficult to kill him, if this person grows up, he will destroy me!"

For Mu Jing, his emotions are very complicated.

But this does not hinder his understanding of Mujing. In his heart, this young man is more important than Mushan back then. When he saw the raging fire in Luoyang City, he knew that this person was ruthless. It was a pity that even if he sent troops to chase him , but still defeated Rushui, almost folded there.

"My lord, although Mulongtu has a poor reputation, he is only a 16-year-old boy. Even if he escaped by chance, he is just a bereaved dog now. The land of Nanyang is now controlled by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's soldiers are strong and strong. He can deal with mere remnants of soldiers, but now he is just lingering on his last breath, living in the most desolate place in Nanyang, what is there to be afraid of?"

Cheng Yu was not too afraid of Mulongtu, even if he had heard of the reputation of Mulongtu, he was not too wary of a 16-year-old yellow-mouthed child. But Mushan is dead, Mujing can have some prestige of Mushan.

"Zhong De, don't underestimate this person!"

Cao Cao shook his head, his eyes were deep, his fists were clenched, and he said in a cold voice: "400 years ago, Gao Zu and the Overlord of Western Chu competed for the world. Although he is now a statue of a remnant soldier, he has also been driven to the west of Nanyang, but no one can say for sure what will happen in the future."

"On par with Gaozu?" Cheng Yu squinted his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and there was a touch of contempt in his words: "Is my lord thinking too highly of this person!"

"I don't know if I look high or not!"

Cao Cao said: "But I know that I was defeated by him before. I always value a person who can defeat me. In the future, he will be my strong enemy!"

When Cheng Yu heard this, his heart moved slightly. Cao Cao's words reminded him that he had never seen the picture of Mulong, but he respected Cao Cao first. Even if it is a 16-year-old boy, he has to pay attention to it.

"Master, Yu understands, Yu will keep an eye on this person in the future!"

Cheng Yu said.

"Mulongtu is far away in the sky, we have no tears in our hearts, and it will not hinder us for the time being!"

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at the sky, with a hint of sadness in his expression, and said, "I'm worried about the situation in Dongjun!"

"Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, argued with Liu Dai ten days ago, but was killed by Liu Dai by mistake. Now the whole Dongjun is in chaos!" Cheng Yu said, "I heard that someone wants to pour out the soldiers of Dongjun, and wants to fight with Liu Dai. Dai fights to the death

"Then should someone enter Dongjun?"

Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, it will be a matter of time before we enter Dongjun. We have already repelled Yuan Shu. In order to integrate Yuzhou in a short period of time, Yuan Shu will not provoke us. Not the best time!"

Cheng Yu cupped his hands, a fierce light flashed across his eyes, and he said gloomyly: "Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao, he will lose the popular support, now all the counties are staring down at him, and Qingzhou Yellow Turban is going south, he is in a state of desperation now, Yanzhou must Chaos, then he will definitely think of the lord, and then it will be a great opportunity for the lord!"

"A certain family is afraid that Yanzhou will be in chaos, and countless people will be displaced!"

Cao Cao sighed: "You have never seen the hell in Guanzhong. Dong Zhuo took millions of people to the south, Mulongtu burned Luoyang City, and the whole Guanzhong was covered with hundreds of miles of corpses. The chaos in the world is the tragedy of the people!"

"My lord, those who want to achieve great things will spare no expense!" Cheng Yu said indifferently: "My lord, if you want a peaceful Yanzhou, the only way is to be the master of Yanzhou, and stand still at this time. It's the day the lord moves into Yanzhou!"

"It makes sense!"

Cao Cao is a hero after all, and he knows what is the most suitable choice for him after judging the situation.

……

……

Yuzhou, Runan.

Yuan Shu wore a brocade robe and knelt down to sit on the top seat, quite powerful. The officials and generals in the hall sat on the left and right.

Since the Kanto Alliance's crusade against the shepherds, all the princes lost their troops, especially the battle of Chenliu, which almost wiped out the entire army of the princes, but he was the only one who preserved his strength, and he was in charge of logistics. The horses and grain were continuously transported back to Runan, which suddenly made him rich and powerful. While expanding the army, he attacked Yuzhou at the same time, which greatly increased his strength.

At this moment, Yuzhou may not be the most powerful in the world, but among the princes of the world, it is definitely among the top three.

"My lord, General Ji Ling just sent back a message!"

Yang Hong stood half a step away, facing the superior Yuan Shu, cupped his hands and said, "Cao Cao's raid on Changsha burned the food and grass of our [-] army. They lost this battle. If they need to raise food and grass again, it will take several months. It's already the twelfth lunar month, and it may be even more difficult to attack Chen Liu!"

"Then just let it go!"

When Yuan Shu heard this, his eyes flickered coldly, and he said, "Since Zhang Mengzhuo gave Chen Liu all to Cao Mengde, I knew it would not be so easy to go north to Yanzhou. I was too impatient, and I haven't settled in Yuzhou yet , rushing to attack Yanzhou, the gain outweighs the loss, since we have returned in vain, we must stabilize Yuzhou first, and immediately send orders to the prefects of all counties in Yuzhou to come and meet me within a month. In this Yuzhou, there can only be one voice!"

"promise!"

Yang Hong nodded.

"My lord, I just heard a message from Nanyang that Mu Longtu led the main force of the Mu army, has broken through the Wuguan barrier, went south to Nanyang, and is currently stationing troops in Nanxiang!" Yuan Yin, the prefect of Runan, said in a deep voice, cupping his hands at Yuan Shu. : "Nanyang Lei Bo and Chen Lan asked, how should we respond!"

"I thought Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers could suppress him, but I didn't expect him to escape. It's abominable!"

When Yuan Shu heard the word Mulongtu, a murderous intent burst out from his gloomy eyes.

"Earlier, Huangfusong led the Guanzhong army to attack Wuguan to intercept him and asked Lei Bo to send troops to respond, but I didn't expect that even Huangfusong couldn't stop him!" Yuan Yin said with a wry smile: "The remnants of the Mu family are really tenacious! "

"Humph!"

Yuan Shu snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "It's just a bereaved dog. The power of the Mu family has disappeared. He is just a child. I will let him take a breath. After I get ready, I will personally attack this person to avenge my Yuan family." !"

Although he had a strong desire to kill Mujing.

He may be one of the princes, and he also knows which is more important. The six counties in the west of Nanyang are sparsely populated, the land is barren, and there are many mountain roads. A mere pastoral scene, a dog that loses its family, is nothing to worry about.

"Jiangdong Army has rested for more than a month, can we fight now?"

Yuan Shu asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, this..." Yang Hong was hesitant to speak.

"Say!"

Yuan Shu glanced at his confidant counselor, and said coldly.

"Jiangdong Army has recovered its combat effectiveness, but Sun Wentai may have second thoughts!"

Yang Hongdao: "We fought with Cao Cao's troops. Although General Ji Ling was defeated, the fundamental reason was that the Jiangdong Army never sent troops. If the Jiangdong Army sent troops to respond and attack Chenliu by surprise, Cao Cao's army would be forced into chaos. At that time, we could attack Chenliu in one fell swoop. , and Sun Wentai has disregarded the lord's military order several times, this person's heart may no longer be in Runan!"

"When I chased Mulongtu that day, he has complained about me!"

Yuan Shuchang sighed: "He doesn't understand what the overall situation is. It's not because I don't want to send troops to pursue it, but because the current situation simply doesn't allow me to be delayed. This is a brave general. I should take it to fight, but if my heart is not in Runan , must be fierce, if it bites back, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop it!"

"My lord, I have a strategy for Sun Wentai!" Yuan Yin said.

"Say!"

"Nanyang County is the number one county in the world, and countless people look down on it. Although Mulongtu occupies the west of Nanyang, his soldiers and horses are exhausted after fighting hard in Guanzhong. I can ignore it, but I am more worried. In Jingzhou, since Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, was forced to death by Sun Jian, Liu Biao rode into Yiyang to win the approval of Kuai’s brother Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and later intersected with Cai Mao, and was surrounded by Jingzhou nobles. !"

Yuan Yin said: "The land of Jingzhou is originally a rich place, and there have been few wars for many years. The army is strong and horses are strong, and it is not comparable to a war-torn place like Yuzhou. Now that Liu Biao enters Jingzhou, I am afraid that we will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

"Liu Jingsheng, the royal family of the Liu family, the queen of King Lu Gong!"

Yuan Shu squinted his eyes: "This man was once famous among scholars, with extraordinary literary talents and unparalleled talents. He has the courage to ride into Jingzhou alone, which shows his courage. It is indeed a serious problem for us to rule Jingzhou!"

"Since that's the case, my lord, why don't you let Sun Wentai praise Jiang and conquer!" Yuan Yin said.

"Let Sun Wentai cross the river to conquer Jingzhou?"

Yuan Shu's eyes brightened, and then gradually became sad: "I'm afraid it's not right. If I issue a military order and he refuses to obey it, how should I respond!"

"will not!"

Yuan Yin said: "My lord can give him a promise that he will be the shepherd of Jingzhou, and if he gets Jingzhou, he can manage it for him!"

"good idea!"

Yuan Shu suddenly laughed: "With such a temptation, I'm afraid Sun Wentai won't be able to sit still. Then the two tigers will fight and one family will gain!"

……

……

Hebei, Wei County.

On the outskirts of Yecheng, there are tents on top of each other, and the camps span ten miles, and the flags with Yuan characters on each side cover the sky and the sun.

"Lord!"

In the main tent of the Chinese army, the scribe Tian Feng bowed and saluted, and then said: "Han Fu has let go, but he let the lord enter the city alone!"

"Entering the city alone?"

The corner of Yuan Shao's mouth raised slightly: "Hongmen Banquet?"

"My lord, absolutely not!"

The brawny man standing beside him is Yuan Shao's number one fierce general, the general superior to Yuan Shao's two favorite generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Ju Yi, with a voice like thunder, said: "Now we have the chance to win, why should the lord take risks! "

"My lord, what General Ju Yi said is true!"

"We have already surrounded Ye City, old Han Fu will definitely lose!"

All the generals spoke one after another.

"Yuan Hao, what do you think?" Yuan Shao pondered for a while, looking at Tian Feng.

Tian Feng was a member of Jizhou governor's office, but Han Fu was not good at using it, and he was depressed and frustrated, so he joined Yuan Shao's family.

As for Yuan Shao, in order to attract Tian Feng, he spent a lot of thought on respecting the corporals. He knew Tian Feng's talent very well, and in such a situation, he wanted to hear Tian Feng's opinion.

"My lord, let's go!"

Tian Feng said.

"Why?"

"If the lord wants to win Jizhou without spending a single soldier, he must go. Only Han Fu's order can let the lord take over the whole Jizhou at the least cost!" Tian Feng said: "He is the Mu of Jizhou after all! "

"You are right, some things cannot be avoided!"

Yuan Shao nodded and made a decision: "This Yecheng, I will enter!"

……

Youzhou.

"A certain family is back!"

Liu Bei looked at this familiar land, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

To win Gongsun Zan's soldiers, there are such elite soldiers as Baima Yicong, and the strong strength of the Youzhou Army, plus the name of Gongsun Zan Tuogu, he is confident that he can gain a firm foothold in Youzhou, and his ambition is rising.

He is also a descendant of the Liu family and of Gaozu's blood, so why can't he be king.

In troubled times, he should be a hero.

"My lord, when you enter Youzhou, you should pay homage to the envoy of Liu Yu!"

Guan Jing came up and reminded.

After Gongsun Zan died in battle, he had no other choice but to worship Liu Bei. First, Liu Bei was Gongsun Zan's orphan, and second, he could see that Liu Bei's talent was no less than that of Gongsun Zan, and he had a deeper palace than Gongsun Zan. .

"Then go to Jicheng!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words, and said, "I still admire Ambassador Liu Yu, so I should go to pay a visit!"

…………

……

Luoyang, the imperial capital, was burned, and the young emperor was kidnapped by powerful officials to go west. One county in Zhequan is the country, the Han Dynasty collapsed in 400 years, and troubled times came...
