The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shao's [-] troops suffered heavy losses.[-] people were beheaded, and the rest were missing.Fleeing back to Yanjin in a hurry, less than [-] remnants were gathered.Yuan Shao lay on the couch and wept bitterly.Guo Tu and the others didn't know how to persuade them, the vitality of the four provinces in Hebei was seriously damaged in this battle, if they want to organize such troops again, they don't know how long they will have to wait.But now Cao Cao is approaching the bank of the Yellow River, and he will cross the river at some point.What was before Yuan Shao was not to continue to attack, but how to defend.

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Yuan Shao's defeat, the crisis in the north has been resolved, and I can rest easy in the Central Plains."

Cheng Yu said: "Yuan Shao is a centipede that dies but does not freeze. My lord, don't be careless. You should immediately lead the army to the north, wipe out Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the north."

Dong Zhaodao: "Your Excellency Cheng is absurd. Yuan Shaowuduan's generation is nothing to worry about. On the contrary, it is Long Feixiong who is bold and powerful. He is our biggest threat. Now there is only a small Wancheng, so he can play with the princes of the world. In the meantime, if Jingzhou is won again, there will be no one to govern! My lord should send troops immediately, contact Jingzhou Liu Biao, Changan Li Jue, Guo Si, and attack Wancheng together, the key is to destroy Longfei!"

Jiang Ji shook his head: "Even though we won this battle, we still suffered heavy losses. On the contrary, Long Fei gained a lot. If we turn against Long Fei at this time, let's not talk about whether Liu Biao, Li Jue, and Guo Si dare to fight Long Fei. If Long Fei joins forces with Yuan Shao to make a comeback, it will be dangerous to attack from both sides, the land of Hebei is vast, if he wins the four prefectures of Hebei, his strength will increase greatly, and then he can fight Long Fei!"

"What Zitong said is very true!" Cao Cao nodded: "Our [-] army was unable to capture Wancheng last time, and now we may provoke Long Fei by attacking again. Let's discuss this matter in the long term!"

Yuan Shao was driven away, and Long Fei made a lot of money.This battle suffered the least number of soldiers and horses, but they obtained tens of thousands of dans of grain and grass, countless gold, silver and jewels, and Yuan Shao's supplies and weapons were countless.When the army returned to Wancheng, the people of the city spontaneously went to the city gate to greet them, singing and dancing. Fortunately, Wancheng did not suffer huge losses in this battle, and they were even more grateful to the town general Long Fei.From this day on, the soldiers and horses in Wancheng were dubbed the Dragon Army by the common people. They were both Long Fei's army and the Long Family Army.Jia Xu ordered someone to embroider a Tenglong battle flag with a black background and red stripes and presented it to Longfei.

Long Fei laughed loudly: "I didn't expect Wen He to like to play this trick, but this flag is mighty and domineering, which suits my heart."

Everyone was happy, and they made people change all the flags at the gate of the city while the iron was hot.Speaking of this battle, everyone was naturally happy, but there was also a trace of sadness.Although the loss in this battle was the least, after all, soldiers and horses were lost.The infantry lost the most. About [-] sons never returned to their hometown, and there were also cavalry and archers. In total, about [-] soldiers and horses were either killed or injured.

Long Fei sent Zhao Yun and Li Ru to deal with the aftermath with full authority. Compensation should be paid more, and the government will distribute grain and rice every month to those who have no one to take care of them at home.Those soldiers who died were buried in the cemetery as a sacrifice for heroes.Although some families are suffering from the loss of their son or husband, they are not completely lost.The people's loyalty to Long Fei has increased a lot.

Xun Yu said: "Now that the crisis in the north has been resolved, I am worried that Cao Cao will come to provoke, and the little Wancheng may not be able to deal with it. Even if it doesn't come now, it will come one day. We can't just wait for death!"

"What Wen Ruo said is very true! Cao Cao is very dishonest. He fought once last time. He defeated Yuan Shao this time. Cao Cao has his heart in Hebei. We can calm down for a while. If Hebei is occupied by Cao Cao, we will definitely lead our troops to attack. We have to guard against it!" Xu Shu agreed with Xun Yu's statement.

Long Fei said: "That's right, both of you are right. You must not sit still. At least you must have room to maneuver. Even if you can't beat it, you must be able to maneuver. This Wancheng is too small. Since we have a plan, we will start today It must be put on the agenda, what should be prepared, what should be carried out, and strive to ensure that everything is in place before Cao Cao pacifies Hebei!"

"No!" Everyone hurriedly stood up.

The Long-Cao coalition defeated Yuan Shao, and the world was shocked, especially the performance of Long Fei's soldiers and horses made all the princes feel incredible.In the past, everyone always thought that Long Fei was a small Wancheng prefect, no matter how many troops he had under him, he would be a mob. This battle exposed Long Fei's strength. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, etc. A large number of warriors finally appeared in front of the world.

Liu Biao sighed, "I didn't expect Long Fei to have so many generals and horses besides Gan Ning's navy! This Xiangyang seems to be impossible to stay."

Kuai Liang said: "My lord, don't worry. Although Long Fei has many soldiers and generals, he has just experienced a big battle and is exhausted. Now is a good time for us to send troops. If we take Wancheng in one fell swoop, don't worry about Jingzhou."

Han Song shook his head: "Your Majesty Kuai was wrong. Long Cao and Yuan Shao fought at Guandu, and both Cao and Yuan suffered heavy losses. Our spies reported that Long Fei only lost about [-] soldiers and horses, but gained a lot of food and supplies. If we attack Long Fei at this time , just gave Long Fei an excuse, when he sends his troops south, Jingzhou is in danger!"

"A timid person can't do anything!" Kuai Liang snorted coldly: "My lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There are rumors that Cao Cao is going to recommend Long Fei to his majesty as General Zhennan. Just imagine, my lord, if Long Fei did this General Zhennan still has the benefits of our Jingzhou, it is better to take the opportunity to strike first, if we wait until Long Fei leads his troops, we will be the most dangerous."

"What?" Liu Biao obviously didn't know about the situation: "Cao Cao wants to recommend Long Fei as Zhennan General, so what about me? Can there be two Zhennan Generals in the world?"

Everyone was silent.There was a trace of anger in Liu Biao's eyes: "Cao Cao is going to put me to death!"

Liu Biao felt uncomfortable, and everyone under Jia also felt uncomfortable, especially Xiandi Liu Xie.Looking at Cao Cao's performance table, I don't know what to do.If General Long Fei Zhennan is sealed, it means that Liu Biao is a counterfeit. If not, can he not be sealed?

The new minister, Ling Xun You, is Xun Yu's nephew. Although he is a nephew, he is older than his uncle Xun Yu. Both his parents died when he was young, and he lives outside with his grandfather Xun Tan.In the early years, He Jinzheng made him Yilang. After Dong Zhuo came to power, he and Wu Qiong and others failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and fled back to Yingchuan.He had just been sent to Longfei by Wumu, and was recommended by his friend Zhong Yao, who succeeded Zhong Yao as the minister.

Xun You said: "General Zhennan is the general who is in charge of the military affairs in the south. General Long and Cao Cao have made great contributions to fighting Yuan Shao's invasion, but Liu Biao, as a member of the royal family, has watched the fire from the other side, and even Liu Bei and Liu Huangsun took advantage of the fire to rob. These treacherous villains are all The great harm to the country, His Majesty is still very merciful in remembering the old relationship and not committing crimes, and it is not impossible to take away Liu Biao's Zhennan General, please think about it, Your Majesty."

"This...!" Liu Xie still hesitated, turning his head to the side, wishing that someone would stand up and make things right for him at this time, but unfortunately there was no one.After the incident of Ma Ridan and Zhao Qi, almost all the old courtiers were exhausted, and the remaining courtiers were either ignorant and fell to Long Fei's side, or they were pretending to be deaf and dumb, hoping to spend the rest of their lives in peace.Only the voices of Zhong Yao and Xun You remained in the court hall of the great Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie was still a little reconciled, he must be a relative of the emperor, and also his uncle: "Liu Biao has been in charge of Jingzhou for these years, although he has not made much credit, he has not made a big mistake. If he is dismissed, the hearts of civil and military officials will be chilled. Can the two lovers think of a new way?"

Zhong Yao said: "Since Your Majesty thinks that Liu Biao's Zhennan General cannot be abolished, I suggest that Longfei be made the Zhennan General!"

"General Zhennan?" Civil and military officials began to discuss.I have only heard of the generals, generals of the four towns, and generals of the four campaigns, but the current general is Yuan Shao.During the reign of Emperor Wudi, there were two great generals, one was the great general Wei Qing, and the other was the great cavalry general Huo Qubing. I had never heard of the great general Zhennan.Liu Xie asked, "Is there any difference between what Zhong Aiqing said about the Zhennan General and the Zhennan General?"

Zhong Yao said: "Your Majesty, General Zhennan is in command of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and is in charge of conquests. This General Zhennan may as well be expanded. The land south of the Yangtze River is under his control, civil servants and generals, political affairs, and military affairs are under him! "

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked.When Zhong Yao said this, it was obvious that he wanted to take Long Fei to a new level, and his power was greater than that of all previous princes, not to mention Liu Biao, and even Sun Quan was included. As long as Long Fei likes it, he can do whatever he wants.

Liu Xie waved his hands again and again: "Ai Qing is joking, I am afraid that even the general does not have such great power, since ancient times, I dare not set this precedent."

Wei Wei Mi Fang, who was always by the side, smiled and said: "Everything in the world has a beginning. The predecessors did not do it, which means that they have not encountered the same situation. Now that His Majesty refuses to abolish Liu Biao's position as General of Zhennan, then Brother Long can only do it." I can sit in this Zhennan General."

Zhi Jin Wu Guanhai nodded: "The general of Zhennan is not a high-ranking official, Yuan Shao is a general, Liu Biao and He De are also generals of Zhennan, even Li Jue and Guo Si don't call themselves Taiwei and Da Sima Is it? Master Zhong is right, this Zhennan General is just right!"

Shangshuling is the highest official of Shangshutai, in charge of issuing all government orders.Before Liu Xie could reply, Xun You had already placed a draft imperial decree in front of Liu Xie.It clearly stated on it that Qian Longfei was appointed General of Zhennan and Marquis of Wancheng.Liu Xie was really helpless, looked left and right, those officials lowered their heads one by one, dared to be angry and dare not speak out, the entire Han court, let Zhong Yao, Xun You, Mi Fang, Guan Hai and others make a fuss.

In order to appease the princes of the world, the imperial decree did not mention the status of the general of Zhennan.At the same time, several imperial decrees were drawn up, moving Cao Cao to be the general of Zhendong, Sun Quan to be the general of Anhan, and attacking Marquis Wucheng.Immediately sent someone eight hundred miles to send them to the two urgently. When the news of Xuchang and Moling came, an auspicious day was selected, and the uniform of the general was made. The general honor guard came to Wancheng to announce the decree.
