Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under the persuasion of Jushou and Shenpei, Qu Yi tempered his anger a bit, but still gritted his teeth.

    "Cao Mengde bullied me like this. If we don't start a war, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

    "General Qu, if a man can be patient and able, why should he go into war just to satisfy his anger? Moreover, Qingzhou has now fallen into our hands, and the war in Youzhou is going well. I think soon, Youzhou will also be completely defeated, my lord."  By then, the lord will control the three states of You, Ji and Qing and become the overlord of the north. At that time, the lord will send troops to deal with Cao Mengde."

    After Qu Yi took a few deep breaths, he finally gave up the idea of ??attacking Yanzhou, and then asked Jushou and Shenpei, hoping that when Yuan Shao decided to attack Cao Cao, they would ask for a vanguard general for him.  position, so that he can take revenge for today.  Jushou and Shenpei naturally agreed.  At the same time, Jushou and Shenpei suggested that Qu Yi lead 50,000 troops to Youzhou to help in the war and end the war in Youzhou as soon as possible.

    Qu Yi listened to his reasoning and rested for a few days. He immediately prepared his troops and horses, leaving Jushou, Chunyu Qiong and 150,000 troops to guard Qingzhou, while he led 50,000 elite troops to the battlefield in Youzhou.

    As for Cao Cao, he took all precautions when approaching the border of Qingzhou. He waited for a month before Qu Yi came to attack. Later, he learned that Qu Yi had left Qingzhou with 50,000 elite troops, so he knew that he had no intention of attacking Yanzhou for the time being.  At this point, Cao Cao could be said to have breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he began to revitalize Yanzhou's internal affairs and reorganize his troops.  Of Cao Cao's 200,000 troops in Yanzhou, 180,000 were Black Mountain bandits. Cao Cao selected the elite. After careful selection, only 80,000 elite soldiers were left. And because most of the Black Mountain bandits were from Qingzhou, Cao Cao  They were named "Qingzhou Soldiers", and the remaining 100,000 Black Mountain bandits were ordered by Cao Cao to return to farming.

    As a result, Yanzhou will have a population of nearly 800,000 immigrants. After discussing with Xun Yu, Cao Cao and Xun Yu decided to follow the policy of farming in Hedong to resettle these people.  Of course, Cao Cao's farming strategy was slightly different from Wen Han's. Cao Cao came from a wealthy family, and the wealthy families in the world were all one family, so Cao Cao couldn't break up with the wealthy people in Yanzhou, and he would need the support of these wealthy families in the future.  Therefore, Cao Cao only accounted for 50%, wealthy people accounted for 20%, and common people who cultivated the land accounted for 30%.  As for the wasteland for cultivation, it was jointly provided by the government and wealthy people.  The food needed by the people in the first year was also first spent by the government and wealthy people. The amount spent was first counted, and then deducted from it when the harvest was harvested.

    In this way, both the government and the wealthy people benefited, so the wealthy people in Yanzhou strongly supported Cao Cao's promotion of farming.

    The situation in the north is about to be decided, let¡¯s look at the war in the west.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Li Jue and Guo Si had great power, brutally abused the people, and were lawless in Chang'an, they also secretly sent their confidants to serve Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to watch his movements.  Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in trouble at this time and was manipulated by Li Cui and Guo Si.  Imperial officials were promoted and demoted by two thieves.  Because of his popularity, Li urged Zhu Jun to enter the court and be granted the title of Imperial Servant, and he would also lead the government.

    One day, people reported that Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, and his sworn brother Han Sui led more than 100,000 troops to Chang'an, claiming to punish the thieves.  It turned out that the two generals had sent people to Chang'an first, and they had linked up with the servant Ma Yu, the admonishment official Zhong Shao, and Zuo Zhonglang general Liu Fan as internal agents to conspire with the traitors.  The three of them made a secret report to the emperor, and named Ma Teng the general of conquering the west, and Han Sui the general of suppressing the west. They each received secret edicts and fought against the thieves.

    At the same time, in order to comply with the wishes of Liangzhou soldiers, Li Cui and Guo Si sent Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to Hongnong in Jingzhao to attack Lu Bu who had gathered troops in Shangluo.  Lu Bu had unparalleled courage in the world, and later in Shangluo he worshiped Chen Gong, a resourceful counselor, as his military advisor.  It is said that after Chen Gong was captured in Luzhuang, Zhang Liao saw that Chen Gong had an extraordinary bearing, so he knew that Chen Gong was not just a thing in the pool, so he kept him by Lu Bu's side, and told him to treat Lu Bu kindly.

    But at that time, Lu Bu was still Dong Zhuo's adopted son, and Chen Gong was very disdainful of him.  Lu Bu was so angry that he wanted to tear off his proud head on the spot several times.  However, Chen Gong not only was not afraid of this, but was upright and ignored the threat.  Lu Bu was secretly surprised, and then remembered Zhang Liao's instructions, so he lost his murderous intention.  But a person like Lu Bu is naturally arrogant. Chen Gong disdained him, so how could he bow to Chen Gong, so he had little contact with Chen Gong.  It wasn't until Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo and led his army to defend Shangluo that Chen Gong changed his attitude towards him.  Later, one time, Shangluo was besieged by Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's troops. Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other Liangzhou soldiers hated Lu Bu so much that they even harmed the people in his county. They threatened that if the city was captured, they would massacre it.

    Chen Gong couldn't bear that the people would be implicated, so he personally found Lu Bu and made suggestions for him to repel Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's armies.  At this point, Lu Bu and Chen Gong cooperated flawlessly in martial arts and literature, and Zhang Ji and Fan Chou never took advantage of Lu Bu again.

    At this time, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were still fighting fiercely with Lu Bu's troops in Shangluo. After discussion, Li Cui and Guo Si did not dare to let Zhang Ji and Fan Chou withdraw from the battle line at this time.  Otherwise, when Lu Bu leads the army to counterattack, Chang'an will be in danger.

    Li Cui and Guo Si had no choice but to ask Li Ru for advice.  Li ?"When I heard that Ma Teng and Han Sui led the troops to attack again, I was immediately startled. After thinking for a while, I said.

    "Zhang Ji and Fan Chou cannot be mobilized. Since Lu Bu got hold of Chen Gongtai, he has become even more powerful and unstoppable. If Shangluo makes a move, he is afraid that his whole body will be affected by it, and Lu Bu will seize the opportunity. Therefore, we must resist Ma Teng,  Han Sui could only rely on Chang'an's 100,000 Liangzhou sergeants.

    "But the two generals don't need to worry. The armies of Ma Teng and Han Sui are coming from far away. We only need to build deep trenches and high fortresses to hold on to resist them.  Confucianism predicts that in less than a hundred days, the enemy's army will be exhausted and will retreat. Then the two generals will lead their troops to pursue it, and Ma Teng and Han Sui will be able to capture it.  "

    When Li Cui and Guo Si heard this, they saw that Li Ru looked relaxed, confident and in no hurry.  After the two of them glanced at each other, they both made up their minds.

    Li Ru has always been a genius in the Liangzhou army. Starting from Dong Zhuo, his talent has already penetrated into the hearts of every Liangzhou soldier.  Therefore, Li Cui and Guo Si used their strategy and only focused on guarding the pass. Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops fought under the city without going out to meet them.  Sure enough, the Xiliang army was unable to attack for a long time under the deep ditch and high fortress. As time went by, the Xiliang army ran out of food and grass, the Xiliang soldiers were all exhausted, and their morale declined day by day.

    At the same time, in the county government hall in Shangluo County.

    Lu Bu and Chen Gong heard reports that Li Jie and Guo Si were fighting with the Xiliang army in Chang'an.  Lu Bu habitually turned his eyes to Chen Gong, who said with a happy expression on his face.

    "The siege of Shangluo can be solved."

    Lu Bu's terrifying tiger eyes suddenly lit up. He knew that Chen Gong was very resourceful. Since he said this, he must have a plan, so he hurriedly asked Chen Gong.

    "What clever tricks does Gongtai have? Please teach me quickly."

    Chen Gong could see from Lu Bu's eyes and expressions that he trusted and valued him.  Since Lu Bu worshiped him as his military advisor, he has been polite and respectful to him and obeyed his advice.  For a counselor, it is truly a blessing to be treated like this.  A woman looks up to her to please her, and a man dies for his confidant.  Chen Gong's heart warmed, and he gradually accepted his identity as a military advisor and regarded Lu Bu as his lord.

    "This matter is not difficult. All we need to do is prepare a fake emergency report and send it to Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, saying that Chang'an is in danger. Let them lead the army to rescue. After Zhang Ji and Fan Chou received it, they must be extremely anxious and rush to rescue. They are impatient.  There will be chaos, and we will set up an ambush on their way back to rescue them, and we will definitely kill them and defeat them."

    "Hahaha. This is a wonderful plan! Gongtai's wisdom is really amazing."

    "My lord, this is ridiculous. However, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are cautious by nature. I wonder if my lord still remembers Li Ru's handwriting or maybe there are still letters with him that Li Ru wrote to my lord in the past?"

    Lu Bu paused, thought for a while and then said.

    "Most of the letters Li Ru wrote to me were left in Chang'an. But I vaguely remember his handwriting."

    "Okay. I'll write a few words first, and my lord will watch from the side. It's enough that the handwriting is seventy percent similar."

    After Chen Gong finished speaking, he walked to the writing desk and sat down. He picked up a pen and wrote numbers in various calligraphy styles. Lu Bu watched on the side and made some modifications to some of Chen Gong's words based on his memory.  Half an hour later, Chen Gong's handwriting was almost the same as Li Ru's, and Chen Gong began to write the false information.

    That night, Lu Bu personally led dozens of light cavalry and galloped out of the city. Thirty miles away, he secretly noticed a Liangzhou scout team.  Lu Bu led his men and horses to ambush in the forest on one side and waited quietly for a long time. When the night was dim, the Liangzhou scout team walked in.  Lu Bu suddenly galloped out from the darkness. Fang Tian moved his halberd and instantly killed the leading scout and the two soldiers beside him. When the scout team saw that the sneak attack general was the unparalleled Lu Bu, they immediately immediately  Frightened, they ran away.  At this time, in the darkness, dozens of men and horses brought by Lu Bu swarmed up and killed all the men and horses in the scout team.

    Immediately, Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to remove the armor of these scouts, and then ordered his soldiers to pretend to be a team of Liangzhou scouts. Then he handed the fake urgent letter written by Chen Gong to a man who seemed to be alert, and then  After Lu Bu gave some more instructions, he galloped back to the city.

    As for the pseudo-Liangzhou scout team, they rushed back to the Liangzhou camp.  The camps of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were not far away. The pseudo-Liangzhou scout team randomly chose a place. After approaching the camp, they saw that there was a big word "fan" on the surrounding flags, and they realized that Fan Chou's  Camp.

    The Pseudo Liangzhou scout team was in a panic as soon as they entered the camp, because the soldiers under Lu Bu's command had all stayed under Dong Zhuo's command for two or three years, and they also spoke in Liangzhou dialect.  I heard the fake Liangzhou scout shouting something urgently in Liangzhou dialect to the guards in front of the door. After hearing this, the guards were startled and quickly pointed to the tent where Fan Chou was.

    Afterwards, the pseudo-Liangzhou scout hurriedly dismounted and, led by several Liangzhou sergeants, ran towards Fan Chou's tent in a panic.

    ??"Report~!! General Fan, there is an urgent report from Chang'an!!"

    Fan Chou was discussing with Zhang Ji in the tent about taking Shangluo. Suddenly they heard Chang'an's urgent report. Their expressions changed, and Fan Chou shouted quickly.

    "There will be news soon!"

    Soon, the pseudo-Liangzhou scout walked into the tent, with a serious look on his face, and spoke in a fluent Liangzhou dialect.

    "General Fan, Chang'an was attacked by the Xiliang Army. Someone in Chang'an colluded with the Xiliang Army. If the military advisor had not discovered it in time, Chang'an would have been almost defeated. This is a secret message from the military advisor!"
