Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 291 Visiting General Tiangong
In the lobby, facing the eyes of everyone, Yang Hong talked eloquently: "In contrast, if you go to meet the emperor by land, whether you go to Sili via Yuzhou or go to Xuzhou via Xuzhou, you will have strong enemies around you. There are also many barriers.”

"Thus, these land routes full of thorns are not only difficult to walk, but also absolutely impossible if you want to fight quickly."

Speaking of this, Cheng Pu couldn't help but suggested: "Master Yang, what if we go by water?"

"That's right!" Yang Hong nodded and said, "Compared with water, it's faster, better, and safer."

"It's just that if you choose the waterway." Yang Hong smiled and asked suddenly: "Lieutenant Cheng, do you think it is more appropriate to take the river or the river?"

Although Cheng Pu was from the north, he had stayed in Jiangdong for many years, so he naturally understood what Yang Hong meant.

Shouchun is on the Yanghuai River, and not far to the south is Shaopitang (a large-scale water storage project hundreds of years earlier than Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal, which shows that the water conservancy is developed in this area). The river course is not connected, and there are many detours. Second, the river is not as wide as the river after all. When there are too many troops, it is difficult to prepare enough food and pay.

If it was supplying along the way, most of Yuzhou's territory is still within Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, which would be better, but once they pass Runan, it will not be easy when they arrive at Yingchuan.

And Yingchuan, just connected to Henan Yin.

As for taking the river road, even if you start from Shouchun, you must grasp the upstream ferry!

Sure enough, Yang Hong glanced at Cheng Pu and asked, "Hong Hong heard that General Sun has occupied Shicheng a few days ago and captured Hengjiang and Dangli river crossings. I don't know where the crossings are, but have they been cleared?"

"The north is not bad. The young master has already defeated Meiling, Hushu, Jiangcheng and other places with his great victory. As for Wuhu and Liyang in the south, he has not yet conquered."

"That's it." Yang Hong nodded to him, then looked around the crowd and said, "The Yangtze River Ferry has been taken into my hands, and the entire army can be drawn up, and then go north, but the north and south have not yet been determined, and the enemy still exists. It doesn't matter if it's soldiers, but if Liu Yao makes any changes, how will he deal with it if he brings luggage and food and builds a logistics line?"

"If you don't bring them, hey, my lords, the emperor's return to the east is due to the continuous natural disasters in Guanzhong, and he will die soon. If our army doesn't bring enough of these, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet them. First, there will be chaos due to lack of food!"

This made a lot of sense, and everyone nodded their heads.

"Moreover." Yang Hong said again: "If my army is on the Yangtze River and encounters Liu Yao, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's front and back attacks, then there will be no way to advance, no way to retreat, and we will lose ground. What should we do? ?”

I don't know what other people think, but Wang Zheng already understood Yang Hong's meaning.

If you want to rescue Jia, you can only take Jiang Dao, but if you want to go Jiang Dao, you must first control the Danyang County around Jiangdu.

The key is that his strategy is reasonable and there is no fault at all.

At this time, Yuan Shu, who had been silent all this time, coughed lightly, and when everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at it, he said in a deep voice: "It is the duty of a minister to be loyal. If the son is in trouble, I will give my all. It is also without mercy."

"What I'm most afraid of is that the soldiers under my tent are bleeding and desperate, but in the end they still can't rescue the emperor, and let him continue to threaten the thief, and he can't help himself!"

"Therefore, Master Yang's words are very reasonable. Whether you are the lord or the lords, although you are eager to rescue him, you still have to think clearly and think carefully."

"The Marquis believes that the people present, no matter whether they are civil or military, are all loyal and have no fear of death. However, people are inherently mortal, some are as light as a feather, and some are as heavy as Mount Tai. How to choose is self-evident."

After saying this, Yuan Shu seemed to be overwhelmed with emotions and couldn't help himself. Yuan Shu raised his head and closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, he was the first to look at Wang Zheng: "Do you think so?"

Can I say no?
At this time, Wang Zheng was filled with emotions, so he almost said shit.

Ingratiating Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and robbing Liu Yao's territory, two irrelevant things, were unexpectedly brought together by Yuan Shu and Yang Hong, and they were so grandiose and reasonable
Speaking of the ability to make excuses, these ancients were really good, which made him admire secretly.

The interests of each other are the same now, so he naturally has to cooperate.

"What Zhou Mu said is right!" Looking around at the crowd, Wang Zhenglang said in a loud voice, "Your body is hairy and skinned, and you've been treated by your parents. You are mortal, but you deserve to die. It's as heavy as Mount Tai!"

Yuan Shu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yang Hong: "Sir, please continue."

Yang Hongdao: "In order to stabilize the rear, it is natural to pull out Liu Yao's fangs first. It will take some time because of this. As long as our army has no worries and goes up the river, we can reach the front of Yujia in ten months."

"Liu Yao, my lord's confidant is in serious trouble. Hong received a report from the spies before. Not long ago, Xuzhou Xiapi Prime Minister Ruo Rong and the new Guangling Prime Minister Zhao Yu had formed an alliance with Liu Yao in private and regarded him as the leader of the alliance. Therefore, if you really send troops to attack In other words, Xiapi, Guangling will most likely rush to help!"

"Since that's the case, why don't we attack the three thieves at the same time and solve them together, so as to save trouble!" Ji Ling couldn't help shouting.

"What Lieutenant Ji said is true." Yang Hong said with a smile, "In Hong's opinion, if you send troops to wipe out the troubles, you have to attack three people at the same time, but you have to divide your troops into six groups, three to defend and three to attack."

"The guardian is not only preventing outsiders from coming to help, but also laying a net to cut off the communication between the three parties and cut off their retreat at the same time!"

"As for the attackers, one will attack the south of Danyang, one will attack Xiapi, and the other will attack Guangling!"

Speaking of this, Yang Hong looked around the audience and saw that everyone nodded in approval and no one objected. He smiled confidently, turned around and cupped his hands at Yuan Shu and said, "The specific actions will be announced by the Lord!"

Convening the generals, the specific arrangement is the highlight. What Yang Hong did was nothing more than a foreshadowing, an opening remark, to be nice, to set the tone first. In the northeast of China, there must be a reason for the disappearance of soldiers, let alone the big man at this time.

Lao Tzu said that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. In fact, all things in the world have the same reason, especially when it comes to people-related things, we must consider human nature.

The purpose of being famous as a teacher is to tell our own soldiers, and even the people of the world, that we are justified in beating others, we are standing on the side of morality, and we are on the side of justice.

For example, the generals in the hall have a higher status and can be called the link connecting the upper and lower.Like the arms and fingers, they are the joints, they are the wrists, there is no need to talk about the deep-seated reasons, at least the unity of thinking is necessary.Know what the purpose of this battle is, and know what consequences this victory or defeat will bring. In this way, everyone will be able to win if they strive to be the first.

This is the winner of the same desire.

Today's performance of Yuan Shu's monarch and ministers, Wang Zheng who was beside him actually gained a lot.

Speaking of which, apart from the place where the incident occurred, whether it was the attack on Xuzhou or Mount Ketai, he actually didn't pay much attention to the "famous teacher".

One is that he took advantage of the system, so he didn't need to think about the "same desires of the upper and lower" innately. Whatever he wants to do, his subordinates have to do!
The second is because of his identity as a bandit, so he doesn't really care about the opinions of the world.

"Since Sun Ce has penetrated deep into Danyang, it is reasonable to pursue the victory." Yuan Shu stood up, his face solemn, and he had an aura of authority without anger: "This journey, I will leave it to Bofu."

He stared at Cheng Pu and said, "Cheng Pu, I will give you 5000 troops to reinforce."

"Here!"

"Xia Pi Ruo Rong is also from Danyang. A few years ago, when this man gathered hundreds of brave men to vote for Tao Qian, I asked people to investigate his past. It is said that he was famous in the village for his bravery. You should not underestimate the enemy. This journey, Zhao Xun, is up to you. As the main general, lead 1 people, and kill them all!"

"Here!"

"As for Guangling." Looking at the generals slowly, Yuan Shu said: "Although Zhao Yu is a new scholar, he neither understands martial arts nor has a solid foundation, but he should not be underestimated. This journey requires a general who is both wise and brave. I don't know. Who would like to bear it?"

He almost called out Zhao Yu by name and said that Zhao Yu was a soft persimmon, and before he finished speaking, he saw seven or eight military officers line up almost at the same time, amidst the clanging of armor, they said in unison: "The last general wants to go!"

Wang Zheng's expression changed.

In what Yuan Shu said just now, the only thing that caught his attention was the word "new appointment".

How new is it?
If it happened after Liu Bei became Xuzhou Shepherd, it was not obvious that he had entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, or it proved that Zhao Yu was quite capable and trusted, and more importantly, if there was a simultaneous war in Xiapi and Guangling, the other party might pay more attention to it. This way!
Just as he was thinking, Yan Xiang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted: "My lord, Guangling and Xiapi are all in the land of Xuzhou, so our army sent out to serve the emperor's loyalty. Since the governor is here, I also need to ask Ask him for his opinion!"

"That's right." Yuan slapped his desk, and looked over with feigned annoyance: "Yu Kou, we are now ministers of the same dynasty, and we have formed an alliance. Going forward, is it against the law?"

"The state shepherd is worrying too much." Wang Zheng looked calm and said with a smile: "Yu Gong, Zhou Mu is the superior of the government, and Yu private is also the elder of the government. What's more, this time he is going north to welcome the emperor. How could there be any hindrance?"

"It's the warriors under Zhou Mu's command. Everyone is happy when they hear the battle, and they are all generous men." After speaking, he cupped his hands and said: "Zheng is watching from the sidelines, and his hands are a little itchy."

"How about this?" Wang Zheng said, "Why don't you hand over Guangling to Zheng to conquer?"

Although he vaguely guessed that Guangling might be the hardest nut to crack among the roads, Yuan Shu's open-mouthed emperor and his silent loyalty to the emperor obviously set him up.

In name, they are all ministers dedicated to the emperor, and they say that the soldiers are divided into six groups. He, Yuan Gonggong, is already in charge of the five routes.
Besides, the reason why he came to Yangzhou originally was because he guessed Yuan Shu's intention after discussing with Mi Heng. Wang Zheng had the intention of pushing the boat along the way and using his strength to drive Liu Bei away from his eyes.

Hearing that Wang Zheng took the initiative to invite Ying, Yuan Shu was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly: "Great kindness!"

"The king's governor is not as weak as the crown, and within a few months, he has no opponents. This is the real talent who "knows how to use soldiers well, and is both civil and military". My childish heart!"

While talking, he nodded to the few people who had just come out, and said with a smile: "In comparison, don't tell me, even this Marquis is a little bit ashamed of himself, and feels that he has spent many years in vain."

Don't bring hatred to Lao Tzu.

Wang Zheng hurriedly said: "Zhou Mu is absurd, Zheng is really ashamed."

"The princes in the hall are all the seniors of the government. Since the success of the affairs is a blessing, it is mostly a fluke. All the generals are talents who can fight for many years on the battlefield. It is exactly what the government hopes."

After being humbled, he continued: "However, for such a major event, Zheng will naturally go all out and not fall behind. It's just that as far as Zheng knows, there are eleven counties in Guangling County. When I come to Yangzhou, I don't bring many soldiers and horses. , it is not easy to conquer, if it is guarded in the later stage, "

"You are willing to be a general." Yuan Shu said with a smile: "This Marquis will naturally give military support."

After pondering for a while, he said, "Although Guangling belongs to Xuzhou, after all, you have been the governor for a short time, so you must not be familiar with its mountains and geography. So where is Ji Ling?"

When Ji Ling came out with his head held high, Yuan Shu said: "You bring 5000 troops, assisted by the king's governor, and attack Guangling together!"

"Here!"

This number already surpassed the total troops brought by Wang Zheng, not to mention the real combat power, but from the looks alone, Yuan Shu has done a very good job.

The commander of the three-way attack and the troops from all walks of life are set, and the three-way behind is guarding the siege. Yuan Shu has to point out the generals, including the civil servants, and also arrange for supplies, food, etc., including the specific date of the army, the swearing-in meeting, etc. Wait, all the generals should return to camp to make preparations before further notice.

After a lot of tedious work and many details, after discussing one by one, it was already the atrium of the moon.

As the night was dark, Wang Zheng led his soldiers and set off slowly. Not far from the state capital, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, extremely hurried.

After all, it was not their own territory, and the guards did not dare to be careless. Everyone held down the handle of the knife, and at the same time, Wang Zheng was guarded in the middle in an orderly manner.

At this time, Gu Pan looked back, only to see four or five knights approaching. First of all, one of them was wearing armor with a knife, full of military atmosphere, and shouted loudly while riding his horse and whip: "But General Tiangong is in front of you?"

Since entering the city, no one has called this name for a long time. Wang Zheng took a closer look, but he was a bearded man. Before entering the hall during the day, he seemed to be a member of the Yellow Turban camp, but his name was unknown.

He reined in his mount, signaled his soldiers to disperse, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's Wang Zheng, I don't know who is your honor?"

"My name is Ye Shi, and I'm also from Qingzhou." The general urged his horse to come over, first he looked to the left and right, and saw that there was no one around, then he said, "I'm here to look for General Tiangong."

He also said: "This is not a place to talk, General Tiangong, if you believe me, come with me."

Wang Zheng smiled, and said casually, "I'm from the same town and I'm from the same way, why can't I believe it?"

"Not to mention the elder's order, don't be late."

Hearing this, Ye Shi laughed, obviously very happy: "The general is really the one who achieves great things!"

Ye Shi hurried forward to lead the way, and tried to find a small path to walk. The dense houses blocked the already weak moonlight again, and it was pitch black. When he reached a remote alley, Ye Shi even ordered everyone to put out the torches. It's okay to be bold, but the guards around him became more and more wary as they walked, and secretly raised their guard.

When he came to a certain private house, Ye Shi finally stopped, dismounted first, and said at the same time: "This is it, General, please." Then he said to the people around him: "Stay outside."

Wang Zheng smiled, and said to the people beside him: "You should also wait here."

"General." The soldiers glanced at the front, which was dark, and couldn't help feeling a little worried, but Wang Zheng waved his hand: "I don't know, Ye Gong is my yellow scarf senior, and the people who are following me at this time must also be experienced. A warrior who has fought many battles and has rich experience, he is waiting for you to ask for advice."

Hearing this, Ye Shi smiled and said: "General Tiangong, don't be joking. If you talk about bravery, how can my subordinates compare with your tigers?"

Then he turned his head and said: "There is a house on the opposite side, and let these brothers go to rest for a while, and treat them to good wine and meat!"

"Here!"

The Yehei road was narrow, but with Ye Shi, an acquaintance, leading the way, and Wang Zheng's physique was extraordinary, they turned left and right, and the two came to an elegant room in the courtyard.

In the darkness, Wang Zheng got a general idea at a glance. At this time, there were already seven or eight people in there, almost all of whom were generals of the Yellow Turban family who had chatted with them during the day.It seems to have been waiting for a long time.

When he stepped on the threshold, everyone stood up one after another, and immediately bowed down at the same time, shouting in unison.

"Meet General Tiangong!"
