three kings

Chapter 137 Soldiers Send Wancheng
In the third year of Chuping, Renshen, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought again in Panhe.Yuan Shao was conceited, thinking that he had more troops and more generals than Gongsun Zan, so he didn't take Gongsun Zan seriously.

Zhong Gongsun Zan's strategist Tian Yu's strategy was attacked by "White Horse Congyi" and lost three battles in a row.Later, following Jushou's scheme, Yu Gongsun Zan confronted Panhe.After a stalemate for a hundred days, the drought broke out, and the food and grass of both sides were in urgent need. At the same time, they stopped fighting and ceased fighting.

In the fourth year of Chuping, Guiyou, Cao Cao reorganized his army to fight against Lv Bu again, but Lv Bu was so brave, coupled with Li Ru and Chen Gong's plan, although Cao Cao had many civil servants and generals, he couldn't take Lv Bu for a while.

After fighting for half a year, they retreated due to lack of food.

In the following year, Cao Cao followed the strategy of the military adviser Xi Zhicai, supported the war with war, successively subdued He Yi, Huang Shao and others from the Yellow Turban remnant party near Yuzhou, recruited them, and took their money and food.

In June of the same year, when Cao Cao fought against Lv Bu for the third time, Xi Zhicai, his military adviser, sneaked into Puyang to persuade the Dahu Tian family in the city, and used Dianwei, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other tiger generals to contain Lv Bu at the south gate, and then let Yujin, Li Dian, Le After entering the north gate by surprise, the Tian family opened the gate, put Yu Jin, Li Dian and others into the city.

In the city, Li Ru and Chen Gong opened the east gate to protect Lu Bu's elders and children from leaving the city.

A month later, Cao Cao pressed on every step, without leaving Lü Bu a chance to breathe, defeated Lv Bu's army in Shanyang, and drove Lv Bu and Zhang Miao out of Yanzhou. Lv Bu and Zhang Miao defected to Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

In September, under the conspiracy of Yang Biao in Chang'an Guo Si and Li Jue, the two led troops to attack each other, and later kidnapped Han Xiandi and Gongqing respectively.Later, Zhang Xiu led the troops to come to reconcile, and the two temporarily stopped fighting.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sought advice from Jia Xu.

Jia Xu used tricks to separate Guo Bang and Li Jue, and asked Yang Feng and Song Guo to turn against each other, rescued Han Xiandi, and at the same time notified Dong Cheng to come to meet him.

Jia Xu succeeded in planning, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty successfully escaped from Chang'an and escaped from the tiger's mouth.

Xun Yu, an important minister in Sun Can's army, seized the opportunity at the first time and persuaded Sun Can to send troops to rescue him, intending to welcome the emperor and conquer the Quartet in the name of the emperor.Unexpectedly, the boats of the army crossing the river inexplicably burned.This caused the army's journey to be delayed for three days, and Cao Cao overtook him to welcome Emperor Xian to Xu County first.

Cao Cao built palaces and palaces in Xu County, established the ancestral temple Sheji, the Provincial Taisiyuan Yamen, and built the Chengguo Treasury; Dong Cheng and other 13 people were named Liehou.Rewarding meritorious deeds and punishing crimes were all dealt with by Cao Cao, and he also proclaimed himself the Marquis of Wuping, the General. At the same time, remembering Sun Can's rescue, he was named General Zhennan and Marquis of Dingyuan.

At this moment, Huainan is no longer comparable to Huainan in the past. There are laughter and laughter in the territory, and the joy of harvest has infected everyone.

Huainan has a superior geography and abundant water sources. There are no less than a hundred rivers and rivers in the territory, and there are almost no droughts. Except for the rare floods in several years, Huainan has a bumper harvest almost every year.

Especially after Sun Can's governance, the farmers have benefited greatly, and the businessmen can also make huge profits. The situation is very good.

Shouchun government office.

"Yafu, why is there no news about why the boat crossing the river caught fire?" When Sun Can mentioned this, his heart burst into flames.Originally, he should be the one who served the emperor and refused to be a minister, but an inexplicable fire made him stop for three days, and Cao Cao took the lead.

Regarding the fire on the ship, he always felt that someone deliberately did it, so he sent Guo Jia to investigate.After more than twenty days, there was no progress at all.

Therefore, he handed over the matter to Liu Hua, and asked Liu Hua to use his "secret camp" to investigate with all his strength.

The "secret camp" is the source of intelligence in Sun Can's army. Sun Can had the idea of ​​​​establishing it before, but it was not realistic.He doesn't have enough money to operate such a huge system, and he doesn't have the capital to go deep into the opponent's core.This matter, let's just leave it at that.It wasn't until the appearance of the Zhen family, with the support and cooperation of the Zhen family, that Sun Can really formed a team of spies of his own.

The "secret camp" has been trained to be quite effective. Sun Can handed the "secret camp" to Liu Hua and asked him to sort out information from various places, and let him take charge of all affairs.

Liu Hua felt happy, in fact, the person who set fire to the boat was none other than himself.

He knew better than anyone else that the Son of Heaven was useful at the beginning, that is, when a group of heroes competed for the throne, it could make some ill-intentioned careerists kill each other.But once the world is divided into three parts, when the general situation is basically settled, he is a tasteless person, it is a pity to discard it, and it is tasteless to eat.Because, the people who can survive in the crowd are all rare geniuses, and they all have their own way of survival.It will no longer be affected by the righteousness of the Son of Heaven.

But Sun Can can't do it.If the Son of Heaven is welcomed to Shouchun by Sun Can, then Sun Can has achieved righteousness, but more of it is bondage.

The shackles of loyalty to the monarch, the shackles of patriotism, and the most important thing is the shackles of Sun Zhe.In this way, the gains will outweigh the losses.Liu Xie's ability is far inferior to that of Liu Bian, let alone Sun Can.

The so-called lion leads the sheep, all the troops are lions, and the sheep leads the lions, all the army is sheep.

The great man has already created thousands of holes, and another capable man must be appointed as the king, so as to avoid the tragedy of "five random China" in later generations.With Liu Xie's ability, he is not qualified at all to avoid "five chaos".

Therefore, he was not happy about welcoming Emperor Xian. From a long-term point of view, welcoming Emperor Xian would be even more troublesome.If Sun Zhe was forced to die in order to protect the big man, Sun Can would definitely submit, and it would cause incalculable consequences.

Therefore, when Xun Yu proposed to welcome Emperor Xian, Liu Hua began to arrange everything, doing calculations on his mind but not on his mind. Sun Can's army hadn't figured out what happened before they saw the warship burnt down.

No one would doubt Liu Hua's body, and Liu Hua also did it very secretly and carefully, without any mistakes.Even Guo Jia only had a slight suspicion of Liu Hua, but he was also fooled by the evidence left by Liu Hua's excellent performance and the pre-arranged layout.

Liu Hua said very apologetically: "There is no news so far, the fire is so bizarre. Shouchun has been in great order, and even killings and looting seldom happen. I really can't find any clues. Maybe it's God's will. God doesn't let our army Your Majesty is welcome."

Guo Jia said indifferently: "Since the matter has passed, Jia feels that there is no need to pursue it further. The priority should be to expand the territory and strengthen the strength."

Guo Jia's intentions are the same as Liu Hua's, what is Xiandi, I am loyal to Sun Can, as long as Sun Can lives to be a hundred years old, Xiandi is dead or alive, do my shit.The big man is hopelessly hopeless, so why bother to be distracted by him, only brother Wen Ruo is still thinking about the Han family.In addition to thinking about Sun Can, he will also do what he can from the perspective of a big man.

Xun Yu came out of class and said, "Yu also agrees with Feng Xiao's opinion."

Although Xun Yu is a big man with a careful heart, his loyalty to Sun Can has never changed, and he puts Sun Can's career first in everything.It is a pity that he did not welcome Xiandi, but he will not delay Sun Canjun's development because of this pity.

He said: "Now, with the full support of the Zhen family, our army's strength has been greatly enhanced. The food and grass are abundant, enough for our army to use for two years. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. Five thousand horses from Bingzhou and [-] horses from Xiliang are all in place," You said. The old, weak, sick and disabled horses in the Riding Battalion and the Wolf Riding Battalion were all replaced, and the "Ranger Riding Battalion" and the "Wolf Riding Battalion" were also expanded to more than [-] people. This is a great time to send troops. The lord made a decision early."

After hearing this, Sun Can said, "Your Majesty's intentions, Chan already knows. Now, our army has two feasible routes. One is to go south to Jiangdong and capture the six counties in Jiangdong. The other is to attack Nanyang and use it as a springboard to occupy Jingzhou. "

Yu Fan is from Jiangdong, and he said first: "Jiangdong is extremely prosperous, and there is a natural danger in the Yangtze River. It is a good place to advance and retreat. It is a good place. It can be attacked first."

Lu Su said: "Zhongxiang's words are different. Jiangdong can be attacked if you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. It is accurate, but this is a treasure for those who keep their careers. If you have this place, you can stand on Jiangdong and watch the rise and fall of the world. Suppress Huangzu and attack. Liu Biao took possession of the vast Yangtze River, and then made plans for the world.

Anyone can do this method, but the master can't do it.The protagonist is both wise and brave, leading the army in battle, and has few rivals in the world, and he is also a pioneer.Pioneers should learn from Emperor Qin and Han Wu, break new ground, and achieve unrivaled hegemony.Anke learns from the keeper, sticks to one place, and waits for the fate to arrange?Today, Jingzhou is the veritable No. [-] state in the world, with fertile land and a vast territory.In terms of population, it is also the crown of the big man.

It is not wise to abandon the simple and rich Jingzhou with unlimited potential and attack the flashy Jiangdong. "

"Zijing is right. Although Jingzhou is not as gorgeous as Jiangdong, it connects Sizhou Luoyang to the left, the rich Shu land to the left, the mining area Jiaozhou to the south, and Huainan treasure land to the east. It can be said that there are treasures all around. As long as it is developed properly, it will definitely It’s no less than Chang’an, the capital of the prosperous Han Dynasty.” Xun Yu also believed that Jingzhou was the best choice.

Liu Hua concluded: "The so-called best defense is offense. Instead of defending one place, it is better to open up territory and support war with war." Cao Cao in history was a very successful pioneer. In comparison, Cao Cao is indeed much better than them in this regard.It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao acquired a large area of ​​land in the world, but Liu Bei and Sun Quan could only live in the prefectures and counties to resist.

Sun Can's original intention was also to attack. Lu Su was right. He watched others siege cities and plundered land while he watched with peace of mind. Sun Can didn't have that kind of intention. Only attack is the most effective solution.

"Since this is the case, the Japanese soldiers will send troops to Wancheng and directly attack the hinterland of Jingzhou." Sun Can slapped the table and said with pride, "Who can be the vanguard?"

As soon as the voice fell, a general stood up and said: "My lord, Fan Wu is willing to go."

Sun Canxi said: "General Fan has experienced hundreds of battles, he is the veteran of our army, he is more than enough to take on this important task...Okay, I will order you to be the pioneer, to open the way for our army."
