Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 494 What is the imperial court?
"Strategy? It sounds abstruse, but it's just a few more steps forward and more overall vision. He Cao Cao can play, but I can't?" Liu Xie lay lazily on the bed, enjoying Diao Chan's massage.As the weather gradually warmed up, his ambition and enthusiasm seemed to be aroused, and he said lightly but confidently: "He thought that he could win without a fight if he trapped me in Puyang City. Could it be that I will follow his wishes like this?" ?”

"So, who is the praying mantis and who is the oriole this time is still unknown?" Li Ru, who was used to hiding in the shadows, seemed to be like an ethereal shadow, and even his voice became illusory: "Therefore , His Majesty sent Chen Gong into Mount Tai, hoping to give Cao Cao a trick?"

Li Ru has been dormant in Luoyang, but this time he is dealing with the treacherous Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms.Liu Xie still summoned Li Ru over with the assistance of three advisors, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Sima Yi.After all, after knowing that Cao Cao also has Jing'an Cao under his command, the guarantee battle has become a prerequisite for the confrontation between the two armies.

"It can't be that simple, and it can't be that easy. Chen Gong's departure may surprise Cao Cao, or it may only make us happy, but no matter what, I can't let Cao Cao look down on me like this. As far as being rude, since Cao Cao wants to win without fighting, then I will jump out of this limitation and show Cao Cao what a real strategy is!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xie stood up, put on a big cloak, walked to the sand table simulation map, and pointed out: "Cao Cao wants to use Puyang as a bait to defeat Shanyang, Jiyin, Taishan and other counties, and after recovering the eastern part of Yanzhou, he will fight back. In other words, why doesn't our army want to use Puyang as a springboard to devour the land of Yanzhou?"

Li Ru can create an era of Dong Zhuo, so he naturally understands what Liu Xie means: wars are not just as simple as the gains and losses of a city or a place in front of you. The overall combat readiness, morale, and geographical advantages of both sides need to be taken into consideration.On the surface, the Han army's quick and decisive defeat of Xiahou Dun was a definite victory.But judging from the overall battle situation, it is not that simple.

First of all, in terms of morale, Liu Xie has been on an expedition since last winter, and the soldiers even spent a new year in a different place in Xuzhou.Everyone was homesick and tired, and if the Han army defeated Xiahou Dun's troops simply and swiftly, then what they were thinking of was not going straight to Huanglong and conquering Yanzhou, but just wanting to go home and reunite.

In addition, in terms of geographical advantages, the eastern part of Yanzhou is not a familiar battlefield for the Han army and Lu Bu, but is where Cao Cao has been operating for many years. It is obviously not a wise choice to push the war there to decide the outcome.

In the end, it was Liu Xie who had already issued an edict to send reinforcements from Guanzhong.Before the army arrives, Liu Xie may also defeat Xiahoudun, but after all, it is not as easy as bullying the few with the crowd, and bullying the few with the more.On the contrary, if the army arrives and defeats Xiahoudun, the morale of the old army and the reinforcements will definitely be boosted. Only then will a showdown with Cao Cao be sure to win.

"Your Majesty has great strategy and foresight, and I am willing to bow down." Li Ru couldn't help but praise Liu Xie's deployment after hearing Liu Xie's deployment arrangement, but then asked: "I just don't know, now there are Xun Gongda, Jia Wenhe and others in our army. Why did Your Majesty send Chen Gongtai to Mount Tai for two famous military strategists?"

"Before, I wanted to send Sima Yi to Mount Tai. After all, Mount Tai would not be a place of decisive victory. It would be better if a vigilant and treacherous person turned the world upside down. Of course, it might be better to let Gongda and Jia Huli go. " Liu Xie revealed his premeditated plans in Mount Tai, but then smiled again: "Unfortunately, these three people are not celebrities in Yanzhou after all, and they are not as extensive as Chen Gong's friends in Yanzhou..."

Li Ruyou blinked, not understanding what Liu Xie meant.

However, Chen Gong understood very well.

After getting into the carriage specially prepared for him by Sun Guan, Chen Gong knew that he would arrive at Fenggao, the prefecture of Taishan County.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen in the first year of Yuanfeng (110 BC), he set up a county in the common boundary of Yuying and Bo, named Fenggao, and governed forty miles northeast of Mount Tai for Mount Tai. Move Feng Gao.Taishan County continued from the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty to the Northern Qi Dynasty.Fenggao continued as a county government until the Northern Wei Dynasty, which lasted for more than [-] years.

At that time, Fenggao City was established as the palace of the emperor and the place for worshiping gods. It covered an area of ​​tens of hectares, surrounded by city walls, and the palaces and corridors in the city were majestic and well-coordinated.It's a pity that after several years of war, it was captured by the Yellow Turban Army many times, and it has long been full of sores, and the old scene is no longer seen.

Looking at Feng Gao who had recovered slightly, Chen Gong couldn't help sighing, but Sun Guan stood in front of dozens of attendants, looked at Chen Gong and Luo Lin suspiciously and said, "My lords, Feng Gao has arrived. You have come here to find the prefect of my family, can you tell the truth?"

But Chen Gong was not in a hurry, he untied the jade ring from his waist that had been tightly hidden along the way, handed it to Sun Guan, and said, "Teacher Zang saw this jade ring, so he naturally knew why I came here to look for it. .”

"For the sake of Jin Yiwei, I've been polite to you in every possible way, you don't know how to flatter you!..." Sun Guan was a little angry. As a general with more than a thousand soldiers under his command, he used to be a local He was a bully bandit, so he couldn't understand Chen Gong's arrogance.

But just when Sun Guan's whip was about to fall on Chen Gong, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the whip tightly.Then, Luo Lin, who looked like Chen Gong's attendant all the way from Tai'an to Fenggao, smiled and said: "General Sun, our Jinyiwei has always disdained to do trivial things, since we have come to Fenggao. Some It's better if you don't know..."

Angrily, Sun Guan pulled the whip in his hand, and found that the seemingly harmless young man in front of him was much stronger than him.Moreover, judging from his relaxed expression, he hasn't done his best yet.This method allowed him to further understand Jin Yiwei's strength, he snorted angrily, took the jade ring from Chen Gong's hand and turned around.At this time, Luo Lin also let go of the whip a second before, not embarrassing Sun Guan.

Sun Guan, who came to see Zang Ba in a fit of anger, naturally would not have a good tone: "Prefect, there are two guys in the Han Dynasty who call themselves Jinyiwei, who came to look for you."

Sun Guan has the qualifications to talk to Zang Ba in this way, although he and Zang Ba are superficially the relationship between the prefect and the general.But a few months ago, he, Zang Ba, Yin Li and others were still riding captains under Tao Qian's account, responsible for recruiting troops to resist the Yellow Turbans, supporting troops to station in Kaiyang, and forming an independent force of their own.

However, when Cao Cao withdrew his troops later, neither Sun Guan nor Yin Li dared to pursue them. Only Zang Ba led his trilogy to capture Taishan County and claimed to be the prefect.Sun Guan and Yin Li later joined, forming the relationship between superior and subordinate at this time.

Zang Ba hadn't completely subdued Sun Guan and Yin Li, and now he was facing Cao Cao's troops again, so he naturally followed Sun Guan's words, and laughed loudly: "What kind of shit, Jin Yiwei, he came here to ask us for something. He still wants me Greeting him in person is simply wishful thinking!"

When Sun Guan heard this, he immediately felt much more at ease.After touching the jade ring with his finger, he remembered to give it to Zang Badao: "By the way, one of them asked me to give this to you, saying that you saw this..."

Sun Guan hadn't finished speaking, but Zang Ba's face had changed.After taking a closer look, he was stunned: "Man, where are you now?"

"Outside the city."

Sun Guan was very surprised by Zang Ba's reaction, but just about to speak, Zang Ba couldn't wait to tell the people around him: "Get off the car and prepare the banquet, I will pick it up myself!"

Sun Guan has never seen Zang Ba value a person so much. In Taishan County, Zang Ba has always been famous for despising the rich. He defeated Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yanzhou.Although he hasn't fought anyone in the imperial court yet, judging from the fact that Zang Ba became the prefect of Mount Tai on his own, he didn't take the Han court seriously.

"Prefect, are you planning to surrender to the court?" Sun Guan was a little dumbfounded. If Zang Ba is such a Zang Ba, you think you should find a way out for the future.

Unexpectedly, Zang Ba suddenly turned around and said: "What is the court?! How can a 15-year-old child get into my eyes?"

"Then why are you like this?"

"In order to repay the kindness!" Zang Ba replied decisively, without any doubt: "I don't care about major affairs in the world, but I will definitely repay this person's kindness!"
