Chapter 896 The Brothers Split
Liaodong is located in the extreme north of Youzhou, geographically isolated overseas, and knows nothing about Liu Bian's deployment of troops and generals in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei only vaguely guessed that Liu Bian stationed troops in Changli, and he wanted to wipe it out with all his might.Therefore, during this period of time, he has been actively deploying defenses, hoping to keep Liaodong.

However, Liu Bei, and even Wei Zheng, Li Mi and others, never imagined that Liu Bian had the Qingzhou navy and would attack by sea.

Both Qingzhou and Liaodong are peninsulas, and the tip of the peninsula is only separated by a sea area of ​​more than 100 miles. From the sea to Liaodong, it takes only three days to reach Liaodong.

As early as the early days of the Qingzhou navy, Liu Bian's instruction was to explore the sea. After so many years, the Qingzhou navy has a considerable understanding of the sea.

Even the compass, a nautical weapon, was exchanged by Liu Bian. On the vast sea, with a compass, you can tell the direction.After so many years, the navy also has a very rich understanding of the wind direction and climate at sea.

Especially for the only sea area in Liaodong and Qingzhou, after years of exploration, there are specific marching routes.If the navy was established in the early days and went to Liaodong from the sea, if they were not familiar with the sea, they might encounter shipwreck, but now they will definitely not.

Liaodong is isolated overseas, and although it knows nothing about the mobilization of troops in Qingzhou, in the territory of Dahan, it cannot be hidden from Zhao Kuangyin, the lord of Yanzhou bordering Qingzhou.Even Sun Ce's detailed work was aware of the mobilization of troops in Qingzhou.

Taishan County Government of Yanzhou was enshrined.

When Zhao Kuangyin heard the news, he immediately summoned a group of civil and military ministers to discuss the matter.

On the left and right sides, sitting on the head of the left is a middle-aged man with a sullen face, who is Zhao Guangyi, the younger brother of Zhao Kuangyin.

It started with Shi Wansui, Yu Jin, Wang Yanzhang and other generals.

There are a few more unfamiliar faces in the back, they are Hu Yanzan, Xia Luqi, Li Jilong and others who have been out of the world for a long time.

On the right are Zhao Pu, Cui Hao, Xu Chu, Jing Si, Yue Xi and others.In addition, there are Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Li Dian, and other local figures in Yanzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin was defeated by Liu Bian successively, losing Hua Yun, Yang Dayan, Cao Bin, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Ning, and other generals.If the Cao family is basically exhausted, Zhao Kuangyin's strength will be greatly damaged.

Originally, Zhao Guangyi was an ambitious figure, and he had recruited many confidants over the years to infiltrate the military and political power.After Zhao Kuangyin was defeated one after another, Zhao Guangyi took this opportunity to intensify his efforts and openly recruit talents.Talented people such as Li Jilong, Xia Luqi, and Hu Yanzan who originally appeared with Yanxu were also recruited by Zhao Guangyi one after another.Even Wang Yanzhang, who was greedy for power, was bought by Zhao Guangyi.

Now above the main hall, the seats are clearly divided, even Zhao Guangyi occupies the upper left and upper left, overwhelming Zhao Kuangyin's confidants, the factions are clearly divided, and the split is evident on the surface.

Now Zhao Kuangyin only has Xu Chu, Yue Xi, Jing Si and other confidant generals in his hands.Fortunately, in terms of counselors, Zhao Pu, Cui Hao, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others are still loyal to Zhao Kuangyin.However, Nuoda's foundation was still created by Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin was still in control of the grassroots team, which made Zhao Guangyi dare not act rashly.

But Zhao Kuangyin obviously felt that he couldn't suppress Zhao Guangyi anymore. Although he knew that Zhao Guangyi had ambitions, Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to suppress him wantonly. First, he was afraid of ruining the brotherhood.

"The news came that all Qingzhou soldiers and horses had arrived at the Navy Water Lane in Donglai. Chen Qingzhi, Yu Yunwen, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Wen Yang and other generals and [-] soldiers and horses all issued certificates. Although they did it very strictly, but But I know they want to attack Liaodong from the sea."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the generals and said: "However, soldiers from Jizhou were transferred to Qingzhou, and soldiers from Luoyang filled the vacancy of Qingzhou. I didn't dare to attack Qingzhou lightly when I heard the news, but I got the news a few days ago that Yue Fei suffered from eye disease. , unable to personally go to Qingzhou to sit in town, only general Yang Zaixing led [-] troops to Qingzhou."

"Although there are [-] troops in Qingzhou, they are no match for Yang Zaixing and Lin Renzhao. Lin Chong, Tang Bin and others are not worth mentioning. Therefore, I decided to attack Qingzhou. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

Zhao Pu was about to speak, but unexpectedly Zhao Guangyi spoke first, and without getting up, he sat on his seat and said, "Brother, let me handle the attack on Qingzhou this time. Qingzhou is only as powerful as Yang Zaixing, and our general Shi Wansui will You can be the enemy, and the rest are mediocre people, nothing to worry about."

Xu Chu immediately said: "Second General, although your general, General Shi, is powerful, I, Xu Chu, am not a fool. What's more, the Second General has guarded Yanzhou all the year round, and none of his generals are good at battle. I think you should guard Yanzhou this time. .”

Zhao Guangyi clasped his hands and said: "Hmph, you can't say that. Brother's soldiers and horses have been fighting all year round and are exhausted. Now they should rest and recuperate. My soldiers and horses have been recuperating all year round. Now it is time to sharpen their swords for a battle. Please agree to this, brother." Let me go out for the first time."

On the main seat, Zhao Kuangyin's face was gloomy, Zhao Guangyi wanted to go to war, why didn't he want to?Now that he has experienced several defeats, his prestige in the army is very low. Zhao Guangyi wants to make meritorious deeds to improve his prestige, and he also needs military deeds to restore his status.

It's just that the brothers are fighting each other, but Zhao Kuangyin is unwilling, so he has no choice but to look to Zhao Pu and Cui Hao for help.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's gaze, Cui Hao immediately said: "My lord, what the second general said is reasonable, why not agree to his request."

"My lord, let the second general lead the army this time."

Hearing that Cui Hao and Zhao Pu both suggested this, Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Since that's the case, second brother, you will lead the army this time. You will mobilize Xuzhou's troops and attack Qingzhou from Xuzhou."

The reason for attacking from Xuzhou is that after all Xuzhou is still controlled by Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Kuangyin took Xuzhou without bloodshed, and Zhao Guangyi had already bought Xuzhou's generals at that time.It can be said that Xuzhou belonged entirely to Zhao Guangyi. Originally, Zhao Kuangyin firmly occupied Yanzhou and Yuzhou, but he was away on an expedition, and many of the soldiers and horses left behind were bought by Zhao Guangyi.

Even Hou Junji, the confidant general who had been guarding Xuzhou under Zhao Kuangyin, had to go to Yuzhou to surrender with Jingzhou and hire some remaining generals of his Cao family to guard Yuzhou.

As for Yuzhou's strength?Its soldiers and horses have been lost in the last war, and the soldiers and horses are only 4 to [-] people.However, Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Ce had already agreed that if Jingzhou sent troops to Yuzhou, Sun Ce would send troops to rescue them.

It can be said that Yuzhou is basically a semi-disabled state now, without the ability to fight with soldiers and horses.

Because of this, the Zhao Kuangyin brothers controlled Yanzhou and the crippled Xuzhou one by one, and the other controlled Xuzhou.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin agreed, Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed. Now he has several generals under his command. Xuzhou has always been rich, with well-preserved soldiers and horses. There are still [-] people, and he feels that he can take Qingzhou.At this moment, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but feel flustered, both Zhao Pu and Cui Hao spoke well of him, could it be that the two of them have taken a fancy to his strength and want to take refuge in him?
It seems that we have to find a time to talk to them, Zhao Guangyi thought to himself.

Zhao Guangyi bowed his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, brother, I will definitely take Qingzhou this time. As long as I take Qingzhou, Liu Bian will be considered to have defeated Liu Bian. When we attack Yanzhou in the future, only the power of Jizhou can be used. Our army concentrates our forces. It might not be his opponent."

"Qingzhou has dispatched troops at this moment, and now is the best time to attack Qingzhou. You should go to Xuzhou to mobilize troops as soon as possible." Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and said.

Zhao Guangyi got up and led the generals to leave. As soon as he left, Jing Si snorted coldly: "My lord, the second general is paying less and less attention to my lord. Even Wang Yanzhang was bought by him and became his general. You must not Don't guard against it."

Zhao Kuangyin was very disturbed when he heard the words, ignored Jing Si's words, looked at Zhao Pu, Cui Hao and the two asked: "Military Master, why do you agree with my second brother to attack Qingzhou? Now I lack prestige, and I need merit to improve my prestige. If my second brother If I successfully captured Qingzhou, then I will..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Zhao Pu stroked his beard and smiled, "Although the Second General has soldiers from Xuzhou, they haven't fought for many years, and their military strength is not comparable to that of Qingzhou's elite. Besides, Lin Renzhao and Yang Zaixing are not easy people, and Qingzhou is not easy. It is not easy to attack. At most, it is to put some pressure on Qingzhou and ask Jizhou for help.

Once the two generals restrain Qingzhou soldiers and horses, you can send troops from Mount Tai to attack the rear of Qingzhou. In this way, you will be able to break through Qingzhou in one fell swoop, and those achievements are naturally obtained by the Lord.At that time, the lord will take the opportunity to weaken the military power of the second general, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
