three kings

Chapter 328 Killing Two Birds With One Stone

Jushou was originally a loyal person, even if he left sadly, his loyalty to Yuan Shao would not be diminished, and he wanted to ask Yuan Shao to change his mind and change his past.He also always believed that Yuan Shao would change his ways one day.Therefore, he lived in seclusion, kept collecting information, and made suggestions for Yuan Shao according to the situation of Yuan Shao's army.

The strategy has long been in his mind, as long as Yuan Shao repents and writes a letter, he can continue to serve Yuan Shao without complaint or regret.

However, Yuan Shao only gave him disappointment.The strategy he had worked so hard to come up with had to be found and made up for by the other party in the passage of time, and it became useless.

Disappointment and discouragement again and again made him almost see Yuan Shao's demise.

For this reason, he couldn't sleep at night, couldn't eat, and was almost on the verge of collapse.The whole person became neurotic, and his temper was abnormally irritable.

At this moment, he finally woke up.Yuan Shao is not Goujian, so he can't do it without suffering; Yuan Shao is not Liu Bang, who doesn't have Liu Bang's courage to correct his mistakes and never be severely defeated.He would rather collude with other races and infamy through the ages than reflect on his own mistakes.I am afraid that at this moment, whether he is still in Yuan Shao's heart is still an unknown question.

Perhaps, he had already forgotten himself.

Jushou secretly sighed with sadness and joy.

He glanced at Liu Bei who was not far away. Originally, he was prejudiced, and he always spoke badly to him, and he had no face. He embarrassed him several times in the crowd, but he didn't care about what he did to him. Still have good respect for myself.This love of talent is indeed rare in the world.When he left Yuanying, he asked his adopted son Liu Feng to protect him all the way until Guangping.Although there is suspicion of inquiring about his residence, his love for talents is enough to express.What's more, Liu Feng also saved himself from the bandits several times on the way, which can be regarded as a kindness to him.In order to see himself, regardless of his injured body, he went to the hinterland of Yuan Shao to see him while he was sick, and he stood there for a day and a night, so sincerely, even he who was prejudiced before couldn't help being moved with compassion and let him in.Love of talent, perseverance, perseverance, tenacity, and tolerance are all there. Liu Bei is indeed the master of a generation.

Jushou originally had no affection for Liu Bei because he cared about Yuan Shao.At this moment, he had already lost his heart to Yuan Shao, thinking of Liu Bei's past, he couldn't help but feel emotional.Everything he showed in Yuan Shao's army is enough to qualify him as an enlightened master. Now that he values ​​him so much, he doesn't care about the danger of his own life in order to get him. With a heart as hard as a rock, he can't help but have a sense of death for his confidant. .

After some consideration, coupled with the persuasion of the parent-child Juhu.

Jushou finally made up his mind and decided to follow Liu Bei, help him build a great career, and seek happiness for all people.

Liu Bei was naturally overjoyed to receive Ju Shou's vote.

Everyone sat down again.

Ju Shou sat quietly on his seat, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then he looked at Liu Bei and said, "My lord, how is it compared to Cao Cao?"

Liu Bei said truthfully: "Cao Cao is very resourceful and resourceful, and he was too prepared."

"What about Sun Can?"

Liu Bei said: "Sun Can is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He leads the army in battle and is invincible. Bei has been defeated by him several times, but he cannot be compared with him."

Ju Shou nodded approvingly, and said: "The lord can recognize his own shortcomings, which is enough to fight against Sun Can and Cao Cao. As a monarch, talent is not everything, at best it only plays a supporting role. If the lord wants to win the world, Sun Can and Cao Cao are definitely the master's rivals. The master is not as good as them. If you want to win, the only way is to know how to use people."

Liu Bei said seriously: "Bei already knew this, but it's hard to find talented people."

Jushou smiled and said, "I recommend someone to my lord. This person is comparable to Gao Shun, the chief general under Sun Can's command. He is good at training soldiers and attacking tough battles, but his personality is a bit lonely and arrogant. Can my lord bear it?"

Liu Bei also laughed and said, "Why can't I bear it? No one is perfect. I use his talents, not his character. As long as he is loyal to my subordinates, I will never treat him badly because of trivial matters."

"Okay!" Ju Shou said solemnly: "This person is Qu Yi. He offended Yuan Shao back then and is now imprisoned in a prison. I only need to do a little trick to force General Zhang He to take the risk to rescue Qu Yi. Yi Qu Qu Yi's character, once he is released from prison, he will definitely join Yuan Shao's hostile monarch, so that Yuan Shao will know how powerful he is. I have a kindness to Qu Yi. As long as he is a letter, he can join the lord."

Liu Bei was overjoyed. He had heard of Qu Yi's name for a long time. He and Gongsun Zan worshiped under Lu Zhi's family. When he was down and down, he was rescued by Gongsun Zan.He still hasn't forgotten the power of the "White Horse Conformity" to this day, but Qu Yi was able to defeat Gongsun Zan's "White Horse Conformity" with [-] first, which shows how powerful he is.

Ju Shou continued: "General Zhang He values ​​righteousness. I just need to let out the rumor secretly that Yuan Shao is going to execute Qu Yi and ask Qu Yi's family to go to Zhang He's residence to ask Zhang He to save Qu Yi's life. When Zhang He was a general, he was subjected to Qu Yi With the support and support, we will definitely not stand idly by."

Liu Bei stayed in Jushou's mansion for three days, and treated Jushou as a teacher with great respect.

Jushou also felt Liu Bei's trust and worked more diligently.

Under his plan, more than ten members of Qu Yi's family came to Zhang Yun's mansion to beg Zhang Yun to kill Qu Yi. Zhang Yun pleaded with Yuan Shao and refused, so he used his power to release Qu Yi from the cage and let him go. Plead guilty.

Yuan Shao was furious and demoted Zhang He three ranks in a row.

As soon as Qu Yi was released from prison, he received a letter from Ju Shou. He remembered that when he was demoted and punished by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao wanted to behead him, and it was Liu Bei who begged him to move Yuan Shao's compassion and save his life.Then he joined Liu Bei.

Liu Bei won two great talents, so happy, he returned to Youzhou happily, and appointed Jushou as a military adviser, and Qu Yi was also reused.

*******************
Saiwai Karasuma.

Jushou looked at Tadun in front of him, and secretly admired in his heart, ever since Huo Qubing, the Hussar General Huo Qubing, had shocked the foreigners, countless foreigners admired the culture of the Han people and sent people to study in the Han soil. The barbarians are now, and they have also learned tactics, so it is not easy to deal with them.

And this Tadun is the best among them, he was originally the servant of Qiu Liju, Master Karasuma in western Liaoning.

At that time, Qiu Liju, Shanggu Karasuma Master Nanlou, Su Puyan, Lord Karasuma Master of Liaodong vassal state, and Wuyan Master Wu Yan of You Beiping Karasuma were all kings.

Qiu Liju is the most powerful and the leader of the crowd.

Later, Zhang Chun, the prefect of Zhongshan, rebelled into Qiu Liju's crowd, and called himself King Mitian Anding, Marshal Karasuma of the three counties.In the last years of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yu was the shepherd of Youzhou, and recruited Hu soldiers to behead Zhang Chun, and the north was stable.In the end, Qiu Liju, the master of Liaoxi Karasuma, died. His son Louban was young, and Cong Zitadun liked to read Han Chinese military books since he was a child. He had martial arts and scheming. , and then used the method of long-distance and short-distance attack to break through ten small tribes in a row, recruit the people, and take over the three kings with absolute strength, becoming the well-deserved Karasuma King.

The purpose of Jushou's trip was to avoid Liu Bei's future troubles. Back then, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were in a row, and Tadun helped Shao attack Gongsun Zan and eliminate him. The relationship between the two was harmonious.Now Yuan Shao is willing to use half of the land in Liaodong to increase Liu Bei and Gongsundu in one fell swoop, which shows that he has been lost by the defeat, and as long as he has a way to defeat the enemy, he doesn't care about the consequences.

If Yuan Shao didn't get a response from Ta Dun for a long time, he would definitely write another letter to urge him, and then Ta Dun would definitely send troops to the south, then Liu Bei would be attacked on both sides.Liu Bei, who is already in a weak position, is likely to be destroyed if he is attacked from both sides.

Jushou said to Ta suddenly: "The general, Jushou, has seen King Karasuma."

Ta Dun looked at Jushou, his eyes flashed a gleam, he knew that Jushou was Yuan Shao's adviser, and the reason why Yuan Shao was able to unify the four states in a short period of time was all due to the strategy of him and Ling, a Han man named Tian Feng, who was a well-educated man. The scholar immediately showed a happy smile on his face, and said: "It turns out that it is Mr. Jushou, disrespect, disrespect, sit down, please sit down quickly."

Ju Shou smiled in his heart, he guessed it was right, Yuan Shao loved face and abandoned him, this matter was a great shame to him, he naturally would not publicize it, except for a few insiders, this matter was not publicized at all.Ta Dun would not know that he was already a counselor under Liu Bei's command at this moment. He took out Yuan Shao's letterhead and said, "King Karasuma, my lord has agreed to donate half of the land in Liaodong. As long as you are willing to send troops to attack Gongsun Du, you can wait The day when Gongsundu perishes will be the time when you, King Karasuma, will occupy half of Liaodong."

A trace of greed appeared in Ta Dun's eyes, but he calmed down quickly.It turned out that Yuan Shao was powerful, with 70 troops, but he only had 15 Karasuma iron cavalry, so he was not Yuan Shao's opponent at all.Therefore, he had to bow his head to Yuan Shao and show his favor everywhere, but now Yuan Shao only has an army of 10,000+, and this strength is no longer in his eyes.If it were not for Liu Bei and Gongsundu, he would have led the cavalry south to attack Yuan Shao.

But Yuan Shao put on a haughty face and asked him to send troops to deal with Liu Bei and Gongsun Du with the strength of the two armies.

At that time, Tadun showed a sneer, Yuan Shao, you are a bird right now.Okay, if you want me to send troops, you can exchange land for it, or I will join forces with Gongsun Du to deal with you.

So he beheaded Yuan Shao's envoy, and brought the envoy's head and the envoy he wanted to bring to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's answer was already within his expectation.His secret sentries have already spread all over the Northland, and he is fully aware of Yuan Shao's current situation.

It is already very tight to deal with Liu Bei with Yuan Shao's strength. If you add Gongsun Du, Yuan Shaojun's chances of winning are not great.If he was wading through this muddy water, Yuan Shaojun would undoubtedly be defeated.There are only two paths before him.

One is to perish, and the other is to cooperate with oneself to regain Youzhou and Liaodong. The price is only a piece of land in Liaodong.

There is no reason for Yuan Shao not to be able to tell which is more important.

Originally, he planned to directly attack Han soil, but he did not do so.The thoughts of the big Han are extremely xenophobic, and they will never allow foreigners to rule them.

However, Tadun is not those ignorant Chanyus who only want temporary food and clothing, but what Tadun seeks is a big man. Only a big man can truly have endless treasures and beauties.

The first step in becoming the master of the Han Dynasty is to win the hearts of the people, develop from a small piece of Han soil, and expand one's position in the hearts of the Han people little by little.

Therefore, a long time ago, after he took over Karasuma, he made good friends with the Han people, and there has never been any cross-border looting.

Therefore, he has little appetite, and what he wants is only half a piece of land in Liaodong.

He looked at the letter from Ju Shou, and secretly told himself: "The dream has already taken its first step."

However, he didn't know that the Jushou in front of him was no longer the Jushou under Yuan Shaojun's command, and his dream would eventually become a fantasy.

Ta Dun looked at Jushou, now is not the time to completely break with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao needs him to deal with Sun Can, and he needs Yuan Shao to win the hearts of the Han people, as long as this relationship still exists, the alliance between the two of them will not Stopping, he said with a friendly smile: "Mr. Trouble, go back and tell the general, we will send troops according to his orders, and we will never break our promise."

Ju Shou nodded and said: "That's very good. Our lord has already set up a lot of ambushes in this battle. As long as the general leads the Karasuma cavalry to attack Gongsun Du's rear in the evening six days later, it is enough. As long as Gongsun Du's army is in chaos, our army will be defeated." All the ambush troops went out and wiped out Gongsun Du."

Ta paused and said: "Six days? So fast. Could it be that you are a little anxious?" From the hinterland of Karasuma to Suizhong where Gongsun Du is located, it is exactly six days' journey, which means that the Karasuma cavalry arrived at the battlefield without any delay. If you have extra rest time, you will join the battlefield.

Ju Shou laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you have a deep understanding of the art of war. Isn't it important to be fast if you don't stabilize your army?"

Tadun understood that Yuan Shao and the others still had to recruit ambushes, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I agree. Someone will send Mr. Ju back."

Six days later, at dusk, Ta Dun led [-] cavalrymen to Suizhong according to his words. They entered Gongsundu's barracks with lightning speed without taking a break.

In the past few days, Liu Bei's general Guan Yu has been provoking again and again in front of the formation, while Gongsun Du's attention is all in the front of the formation, completely ignoring the rear defense.

Ta Dun succeeded in one blow and rushed directly into Gongsundu's central army.

Gongsun Du was the overlord of Liaodong with extraordinary talents. He conquered Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the west, and Shandong Peninsula in the south.

After being attacked by surprise, he immediately dispatched a large army to stabilize his position and counterattack.

The two armies fought for more than two hours, Gongsun Duyi was defeated, and Tadun's army also suffered heavy losses.

At this time, countless troops suddenly surged up from all sides, and they flew into the army of Gongsun Du under the flag of Yuan Jun. They were all extremely brave.

Gongsundu was defeated, and all [-] elite troops were lost, only a few thousand fled eastward.

Seeing Yuan Jun coming so slowly, Ta Dun was furious and was about to step forward to question him, when a red-faced general came out with lightning and cut Ta Dun in two with a single blow.

Tadun died in the hands of no one, so he left the world with his own sweet dreams.

Time also, life also.You have great talents, but you also need to have a life in order to achieve great things.

The surrounding Yuan soldiers hacked and killed the cavalry brought by Ta Dun one after another.

The Karasuma cavalry didn't react, and they were killed one by one for no reason, and the whole army was defeated.

On the city wall, Liu Bei sighed: "The strategist's strategy of killing two birds with one stone is really incomparable. He solved the two armies without any effort, Liu Bei admires him!"
