three kings

Chapter 182
Shouchun Mansion, Chamber of Commerce.

A flying pigeon landed in front of the grass-covered hall, there was a sound of footsteps, a pair of slender hands carefully caught it, and lightly unwrapped a silk roll from the flying pigeon's feet.

The owner of the hand is handsome, tall and tall, with three long beards under his jaw, and a soap hat and cloth jacket. He has such a strong literati momentum. He is the head of Sun Canjun's hundred officials, his status is only under Liu Hua, and he has the reputation of Wang Zuozhi. - Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo.

He gently unfolded the silk scroll, and saw that it read: "In the second year of Jian'an, in August, Liu Yu's son Liu He formed an alliance with Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zan. On September 21, Liu Yu's old department Xianyufu was in the north of Luhe River. , defeated Yuyang prefect Zou Dan and beheaded him. On the [-]st, Yuan Shao seized the opportunity and defeated Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao. On October [-]th, Yuan Shao, Liu He, and Xianyu Fuhui army defeated Gongsun Zan and beheaded more than [-] people Crowd. In the third year of Jian'an, in January, Gongsun Zan defended Yijing to the death, and could not hold on. Yuan Shao occupied all the land in the north except Yijing."

Xun Yu frowned slightly, showing a rare serious look on his face.

"Wen Ruo, what's the matter?" Gu Yong was quick-witted, tactful and sophisticated. He had been serving as Xun Yu's deputy. When he saw Xun Yu, who had always been calm and composed, with a serious expression on his face, he immediately realized that something big was about to happen.

Xun Yu talked and said: "Yuan Shao has already defeated Gongsun Zan, and now he is besieging him in Yijing, breaking the city is just around the corner."

Gu Yong changed color slightly after hearing this, and exclaimed, "How fast?"

Xun Yu smiled wryly and said, "At first I thought there would be enough time for expansion, but I didn't expect Mr. Liuzhou to do Yuan Shao a big favor. It's true that everything is like chess and unpredictable."

"Liu Zhoujun? Liu Yu?" Gu Yong had obviously heard of Liu Yu's name.

Gu Yong nodded, and handed the silk scroll to Gu Yong.

Gu Yong looked at it once, and sighed: "It's God's will! I think Liuzhou Jun loved the people like a son, even if he was ranked third, he still wore sackcloth and ate vegetarian food. I didn't expect that after he left, he would do such a big favor to Yuan Shao, a rebellious minister and thief." Immediately afterwards, he continued: "Yuan Shao is so strong that everyone in the world is terrified. We must inform the lord to prepare early."

Xun Yu nodded silently, groaned for a while, and said decisively, "Xuzhou's military strategy must be stopped immediately. It is really inappropriate to fight against Cao Cao at this moment. According to my estimation, Yuan Shao's army will never be less than 40 at the moment. We must capture it before Yuan Shao goes south." Jingzhou. Immediately strive to develop, only in this way can we fight Yuan Shao."

Then, Xun Yu said again: "Yuan Tan, you are ready to go out for food and grass immediately, and I will immediately write a letter to persuade my lord to give up Xuzhou."

********************************
After Sun Can recruited Lu Bu's army, the first thing he did was to execute Li Ru to death.

Although Li Ru was talented, the crimes he committed were too great. He forced the death of the young emperor Liu Bian, hanged Empress He and Tang concubine, any of which was the crime of exterminating the nine clans.If you don't kill him, it's really hard to stop the mouth of the world.What's more, Sun Can and Liu Bianqing are brothers, and it can be said that they watched him grow up.How can such a great enmity be spared.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, Li Ru's ten crimes were announced, and Li Ru was sentenced to be split by a car.And sent his head to Xudu, and presented it to the emperor.

Although the sooner he arrived in Pengcheng, the sooner he captured Xuzhou, Sun Can still ordered the whole army to slow down.

Fifty thousand surrendered troops is not a small number. Sun Can's own strength is only [-], and the soldiers who accompanied him are only [-]. If the surrendered troops are not dealt with properly first.Once there is a mutiny, Sun Can's army will definitely suffer a fatal blow.

Weighing the pros and cons, the value of Xuzhou is indeed not worth Sun Can's betting the lives of the entire army.

Although these surrendered troops are all mobs, the gathered strength cannot be ignored.

For this matter, Sun Can invited Chen Deng and Chen Gong to discuss with them to see if there is a good way.One of them is a pillar of Lu Bujun, and the other is a great talent in Xuzhou. They should have a good solution.

When Chen Deng and Chen Gong saw that Sun Can only invited them to discuss, they were deeply impressed by Sun Can's appointment, and they secretly rejoiced that they had found a wise master.

Chen Gong held a high position in Lv Bu's army and was very familiar with his subordinates. He said: "Lv Bu's strength is claimed to be [-], but in fact it is only [-]. Among them, [-] are soldiers brought by Lv Bu from Chang'an. They are all brave and good at fighting. Even against Cao Cao's "Qingzhou Soldiers", the remaining [-] are low-strength soldiers, most of whom were newly recruited by Liu Bei. Farming is okay, but Shangzheng killing the enemy can only be said Is to die.

Gong felt that the brave and capable soldiers had been left behind, so he dismissed the strong men and asked them to farm for our army and strengthen our armaments.

In addition, when disarming, we must strictly establish military discipline.Lv Bu's army was not strict in military discipline, and things often happened that soldiers plundered the people's property, even if Lv Bu knew about it, he let it go.Over time, looting the people's property has become a habit.And our army's strict military law will definitely make those veterans feel dissatisfied. They must kill chickens and respect monkeys to rectify military regulations. "

Sun Can nodded in approval, the laziness of those surrendered soldiers was obvious to all, otherwise he would not have dealt with them so early.

Then he looked at Chen Deng again.

After Chen Deng followed Chen Qun to Sun Can's barracks, he saw strict discipline in the barracks.When he arrived at the barracks, Sun Can was inspecting the barracks, and the person who received him was Jiangdong Zhoulang.

Zhou Yu's elegant speech and superb talent immediately amazed Chen Deng. When he learned that the talents of Liu Hua, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia in the army were superior to Zhou Yu's, he could only describe it as stunned.

Seeing so many geniuses, they follow Sun Can without complaint, knowing that Sun Can is indeed a hero in troubled times.

Later, after Sun Can personally met him and had a conversation with him, he appointed him as a staff member, and he was allowed to attend no matter how big or small the meeting was, without any intention of avoiding suspicion.

For example, he didn't hide such a crucial matter as Chen Gong's secret drop.It can be seen that this person is eclectic and only uses his talents, and he is not suspicious of employing people, and he is not suspicious of others, and he feels that he has met the master.

Seeing Sun Can looking at him, he said: "The people of Xuzhou love their families very much, and they don't like to fight. The lord is kind, and he can order the people of Xuzhou who are in the army to be dismissed. Give them good land and farming tools, and let them settle down in Guangling. So they will surely I will be grateful to the lord Ende and do my best to the lord.

In addition, Guangling has an excellent geographical location.Not only is the land rich and fertile, but it is also a military fortress connecting Jiangdong, the so-called Deng Guangling, and Wang Wu Hui.As long as Guangling fights again, no matter how powerful Soochow is, it will not dare to go north.

It's a pity that Guangling has been in the hands of the two thieves, Xue Li and Ruo Rong, unable to exert their true magical effects, so that Guangling is barren. Now this place is a good time to rest, develop, and manage. Our army is governed by Mr. Xun Yu. Next, nothing is missing,.The only thing missing is manpower.

If it is said that Yuan Shao in the north followed the route of the heroic soldiers, then in my opinion, our army should follow the route of the elite soldiers.Although there are few soldiers, the overall strength has been greatly enhanced, the burden of food has been reduced, and the stability of the territory has been increased.

Instead of training these unrepentant people, it is better to meet their wishes and let them develop Guangling with peace of mind. When they return to their hearts, it will not be too late to recruit them if necessary. "

Sun Can listened to the suggestions of the two, thought for a while, and felt that the method they said was indeed the most effective and direct method at present, so he followed them one by one.

The next day, Sun Can restrained the entire army with the eight orders drafted overnight.They are:

[-]. Those who disobey orders will be killed![-]. If you are afraid of death, you will kill the former![-]. Kill the collaborators who surrender![-]. Those who lie about military intelligence will be killed![-]. Those who leak military information will be killed![-]. Kill those who rape and plunder![-]. Those who kill captives indiscriminately kill them![-]. Those who take anything from the common people, even a needle or thread, will be killed.

The eight big orders immediately caused the original Lv Bu and Sun Can to kill [-] people who refused to obey the military order with the iron bowl technique.This made these hooligans more honest.

After all the trivial matters have been dealt with, the army was raised.Sun Can divided his troops into two groups, heading north to approach Pengcheng, and going south to block Lu Bu's way.

Just as the plan was going on, Sun Can unexpectedly received a letter from Xun Yu.Sun Can was taken aback by the contents of the letter, and hurriedly stopped all actions and summoned all the soldiers to discuss the matter.

All will gather.

Sun Candao: "There are only a few princes who can do something today. Among them, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are strong enemies, but at the moment they are not to be feared. Although Cao Cao won Yan and Henan, these two states are in the fourth war After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, these two prefectures suffered a lot. The two prefectures are far less prosperous than Huainan. What's more, Yanzhou was greatly injured by Lu Bu. When welcoming Emperor Xian, he built a palace for Emperor Xian. greatly strained

At this moment, it is far from my opponent.Liu Bei has no place to stand at the moment, so it is not worth mentioning for the time being.At present, the real strong enemy of our army is Yuan Shao in the north!According to reliable information, Yuan Shao had already forced Gongsun Zan into Yijing, and he was not far from defeat. "

Guo Jia had been to the north and knew Yuan Shao's character. He said: "Yuan Shao has always had the ambition to annex the four prefectures in Hebei and the heart to spy on the world. But he will never allow the lord to grow and expand his power. When Gongsun Zan is eliminated, he will One goal must be the Central Plains.

And our army's overall plan is to take control of the Central Plains. The so-called two heroes are incompatible. From the subordinate's point of view, we must expand our strength and use force to determine who is the real lord of the Central Plains. This is imperative.

Although our army is strong at the moment, it is far inferior to Yuan Shao.Therefore, Jia felt that our army should expand its strength as the best policy.

In the land of Xuzhou, the folk customs are weak, and it will not be easy for our army to develop, but it will offend Cao Cao.It is better to give it to Cao Cao, leaving only Guangling, which is beneficial to our army, so that he can block Yuan Shao's attack for our army and give us enough time to prepare for the battle.
