Three Kingdoms video king: The opening inventory of the top ten fighters!

Chapter 249 Competing in the Central Plains ([-])

"General Hanchen, now that Yuan Shao is defeated and fled to Liyang, it is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. We only need to leave a small number of soldiers here to guard the prisoners!"

Seeing that Di Qing didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to attack, Zhang Liao expressed his opinion on attacking, but Di Qing didn't have the heart to fight Yuan Shao to the death, and he stopped going south after arriving in Dangyin.

"General Wen Yuan, Li Yang is the bridgehead to enter Yanzhou. The city is high and deep and heavily guarded. Our army is full of cavalry, and it is almost impossible to capture it.

Liyang is just an isolated city, and after Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu decide the victory, they will naturally evacuate this place. Our army can occupy it without a single soldier, so why sacrifice the lives of our brothers.

General Wen Yuan is resting here for the time being, and I will send someone to fly to Ye County to report to my lord. After my lord arrives, I will decide whether to march or not! "

"Well, since General Hanchen is determined to do so, I don't want to say anything more, so I will wait here for a while and make a decision after General Gongsun arrives."

Arranging Zhang Liao in the military camp outside Dangyin City, Di Qing sent people flying horses to Ye County to report the news. Three days later, Gongsun Yue personally led the first army of Youwu soldiers to Ye County.

"Wen Yuan has worked hard, how is General Lu?"

After handing over the first army of Youwu pawns to Di Qing, Gongsun Yue personally went to the camp outside the city to meet the famous Zhang Liao.

"My lord, Zhang Liao is just a small general under Lv Bu's tent. How can he be worthy of the importance of my lord?"

Seeing Qu Yi's unconvinced appearance, Gongsun Yue just smiled and said nothing. In terms of ability, Qu Yi is indeed very strong, but in other respects, Zhang Liao can beat him by several blocks.

Regardless of whether Zhang Liao served as an official of Yanmen County at the beginning, or followed Ding Yuan, He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu, he always fulfilled his duties. Although he went through ups and downs, he always kept his heart.

Zhang Liao has never been a direct descendant of Lu Bu. After surrendering to Cao Cao, he was able to distinguish between public and private, and he was able to reform himself and take the overall situation into consideration. He put aside his past suspicions and made peace with the army guard Wu Zhou.

At that time, Guan Yu temporarily joined Cao Cao's camp, and Zhang Liao and Guan Yu were good friends, so Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to ask Guan Yu's intention to stay or stay, as Guan Yu's personal friend.

Guan Yu stated that he would only follow Liu Bei. Zhang Liao thought that if he told the truth to Cao Cao, he was afraid that Cao Cao would kill Guan Yu, but if he did not tell the truth, it would not be the way to be a king, so he sighed:
"Thank you, my lord!"

After Zhao Yun, Ta Dun and Xu Huang went down to heal their injuries, Gongsun Yue turned his head and looked at the rest of the people in the hall.

"Yuankai, you, Bingyuan, Yiqu, Wenbo, and Juzi immediately lead troops to support Qingyuan City, and support Liu Bei's army who is firmly defending Liaocheng at any time.

The advantage that our army has finally obtained cannot be discarded just like this. The enemy's counterattack will be very violent next time. "

"Yes, my lord, we will definitely defend Qingyuan City!"

Du Yu, Guan Hai, Jiang Qi, Zhu Ling, and Han Meng led the troops to leave. Linxi City was immediately empty, and the number of troops was obviously insufficient.

"My lord, what about the captive Gao Lan?"

Li Cunxiao led the tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue Gao Lan's cavalry. After several battles, he successfully captured Gao Lan alive and captured many prisoners. Only a few soldiers and horses were able to escape.

Gao Lan is skilled in martial arts, full of courage, high righteousness, and arrogance. He is a famous general in Hebei. After being captured, he didn't say a word, but he should eat and drink.

"Brother Feihu, although the battle is initially decided, we still need to resist Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's counterattack. As long as we can stop Yuan Shao's counterattack, Gao Lan will have no choice. I think he will make a wise decision.

So don't worry about him now, what you want to think about is how to consolidate the existing achievements. Shubao and the others have almost no loss in solving the battle of Quyi. They can just keep their headquarters in the Bohai Sea, and adjust the Fourth Military Army and the Huben Army. The Third Army and the Sixth Army of Youwuzu came here to support.

"My lord, I also agree with Yuan Hao's opinion. Our army is really powerless to counterattack at present. The best way is to stabilize the situation and wait for an opportunity after recovering.

However, with Cao Mengde sending troops with our army, it is not impossible to try. In the past two years, his power has grown rapidly, and he has many soldiers and generals. To a certain extent, he is already above our army. "

Just when Gongsun Yue sent troops, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Youzhou were all involved in the war.

It was Yuan Shu who had problems first. Seeing that Lv Bu had suddenly obtained so much food, supplies, precious armor and good horses, but he had gotten nothing, his mind suddenly became unbalanced.

"You all talk, why? Why did he, Lu Fengxian, get so many supplies? Look at the stinky fish and rotten shrimps who got the supplies. What qualifications do they have to compete with me, the son of the Yuan family who came from the fourth generation and the third father?" !"

The more Yuan Shu talked, the more angry he was, and he swept the bamboo slips all over the table to the ground. If Yan Xiang hadn't been there to persuade him during this period, he might have fallen out with Lu Bu completely.

On the one hand, it was because of Yuan Shu's short-sightedness, and on the other hand, it was also because of Lu Bu's short-sightedness and lack of winking. He only had [-] Bingzhou cavalrymen under his direct lineage.

"My lord, now that a great war is about to start, we should unite all forces that can be united at this time, otherwise, if we lose in this great war, no matter how much we have, we will lose it.

Although Lu Fengxian's [-] soldiers and horses are not many, they are all elites in all battles, and they are rare generals in our army. We must let him serve our army first.

After the dust settles this time, the lord can do whatever he wants. If Xiao Qiang is caused by a disaster before the war, the consequences will be disastrous.

Once we violate the covenant, no one will trust us, and we will be surrounded by powerful enemies. We can only struggle to deal with it, and I am afraid that we will not be far from defeat! "

"My lord, what the military adviser said is very true. What we have to do now is to win the war. We will talk about everything after this war is over!"

Seeing that Yuan Huan and Yan Xiang had the same opinion, although Yuan Shu's chest was heaving with anger, he calmed down a little.

Yuan Shu finally swallowed the breath in his heart, suppressed his unhappiness, and concentrated on dealing with the next thing.

"Gongyu, Yuan Hao, Ziyuan, you all talk about how to deploy our troops next. After the last battle at Jieqiao, our army's elite lost a lot, and now we have recovered a little vitality. There is a lot of pressure, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that the six counties in my hand will not be able to defend."

After the two-game losing streak, Yuan Shao had already cast a shadow over Gongsun Yue. Although he still looked down on Yuan Gonglu's self-proclaimed noble son, he had to pay attention to the two defense lines in the north.

"My lord, now it depends on whether Xianbei in the east, Gongsundu in Liaodong, and Qianghu in Bingzhou can successfully contain the troops. As long as the two states of You and Ji are unstable, Gongsun Yue will have limited troops to go to the battlefield, and the pressure on General Su will also increase." much smaller.

And what I am worried about now is that Gongsun Yue went to Guangzong to support him with great fanfare. It is very likely that the plank road was built in the open, and Chen Cang was hidden. "

After listening to Jushou's words, Yuan Shao's complexion changed. Now it seems that the troops in Bohai County can never be mobilized, and Qinghe County can't support them. Right now, Su Dingfang can only stand firm, and at the same time send people to urge the eastern Xianbei, Liaodong Gongsundu and Bingzhou Qiang in the north. Hu stepped up.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

"My lord, Yuan Shu's subordinates are at odds, and the last general thinks that he and Lu Fengxian can be separated. As long as there is internal strife between them, they will be defeated without a fight.

In order to deter Qu Yi, General Shi Wansui should go to Bohai County immediately, at least he can rest assured that he is there.

In addition, the lord should order Cao Cao to go to Puyang with the main force. Xuzhou Tao Qian has more than enough protection for himself, but his offense is obviously insufficient. In the past two years, Cao Cao has gradually grown in Yanzhou, and the power under his command should not be underestimated. "

Regarding Jushou's opinion, Yuan Shao did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at Tian Feng and Xu You, wanting to continue to listen to their opinions.

"My lord, Gong Yu's suggestion is feasible, and I should urgently order someone to contact the aristocratic families in the five prefectures of Jizhou, promise them benefits, and let them act immediately.

In this battle with Yuan Shu, not only must he win, but he must also weaken Cao Aman as much as possible. Now the power under his command is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a faint tendency to lose it. "

"Yuan Hao, what do you think?"

"My lord, this is the best solution I can think of right now."

After Tian Feng thought about it, he agreed with Jushou and Xu You's approach. This is also the difference between Tian Feng and Xu You.

"Since that's the case, let's implement it according to this plan. General Shi, if Qu Yi makes any changes this time when you go to Bohai County, you can play by ear, and I promise you the right to kill first and act later!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Shi Wansui left with a small number of elites, and the rest followed the plan, but one of them was very unhappy, that was Xu You and Xu Ziyuan.

The matter of entering Jizhou to contact the rebellion of the counties fell on Xu You. Xu You was not willing to do such a risky thing, but he dared not refuse under the eyes of everyone.

Seeing that Ju Shou, the most important counselor, also held the same opinion, although Yuan Shao was furious, he still tried his best to calm himself down.

"Ziyuan, I will give you one last chance to complete the alliance with Cao Mengde. If you still fail this time, then don't come back. My patience has a limit, and I will not support incompetent people!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Seeing the chill in Yuan Shao's eyes, Xu You's body couldn't help trembling. He failed several things in a row, which already made Yuan Shao feel very dissatisfied with himself. Can do it.

Compared with thinking about how to handle the mission well, Xu You thought about another aspect, which just confirmed Xun Yu's evaluation of him as "greed without governance".

Xu You's greed is not simply greed for money, but greed for power, merit, and status in Yuan Shao's group.

According to historical records, Xu You proposed to Yuan Shao a strategy to capture Xu Capital, but Yuan Shao rejected it, which caused Xu You's dissatisfaction. At this time, his psychological demands for greed for merit were not satisfied.

Xu You's family broke the law, either for greed of money, or simply bullying others, breaking the law, and being interrogated and admitted. At this time, their detached status in Yuan Shao's group could not be satisfied.

The failure to satisfy these two points may be the real reason for Xu You's rebellion.

And Xu You's performance in the Cao Cao Group also proves this point. For example, Xu You called Cao Cao by his nickname and repeatedly emphasized his contribution in the "Battle of Guandu". the privilege of others.

Let’s talk about the word Huixia, “establish momentum and be a mighty blessing”, which is in line with Xu You’s character. In a word, Xu You’s highest pursuit should be to break the rules and make himself above the rules. This is the case in Yuan Shao’s group, and in Cao Cao’s The same is true in the group, which is also a manifestation of greed.

As for property, Xu You is a celebrity and famous as a knight-errant. To a certain extent, he should follow the moral standards and external performance of celebrities and knight-errants, rather than simply being greedy for money.

Xu You was friendly with Cao Cao when he was young, and later became Yuan Shao's counselor. He advised Yuan Shao many times and advocated attacking Cao Cao's capital Xuchang.

At the time of the Battle of Guandu, Xu You defected to Cao Cao because his family was arrested for breaking the law. He provided important information and suggested that Cao Cao attack Wuchao, and the result was a complete victory.

After the Battle of Guandu, Xu You followed Cao Cao to Yecheng, uttered wild words, repeatedly insulted Cao Cao, despised the soldiers of the Cao army, and was killed by Xu Chu in a rage. Cao Cao blamed Xu Chu deeply after seeing it, and ordered Xu You to be buried generously. In fact, he was relieved Take a breath.

"Cao Gong is like a father, and Guan Yu is just a brother."

In the end, while Zhang Liao was worried about Guan Yu's safety, he still insisted on fulfilling the mission of "asking him with emotion". Moreover, Zhang Liao also guaranteed Guan Yu that he would "be sure to serve the public and then go."

Zhang Liao's move not only made his personal friendship with Guan Yu praised by later generations of scholars, but also was considered by later generations as a manifestation of his obedience to his responsibilities and his ability to understand the general situation. For example, Liu Muzhi once said:
"I am honored by the public, and I have nothing to hide. This is why Zhang Liao sued Guan Yu for treason."

He Shangzhi, the right servant of Shangshu, also said:

"I think about Zhang Liao's words, although Guan Yu is a brother, Cao Gong and his son, why don't you say nothing?"

As a general of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao confronted many generals under Cao Cao on the battlefield many times. After surrendering to Cao Cao, he was naturally rejected by many generals under Cao Cao.

Zhang Liao has always been at odds with Li Dian and Le Jin, and even had an old enmity with Li Dian. In the past, the Lu Bu Group where Zhang Liao belonged to, and the Li family of Chengshi where Li Dian belonged to, the two sides had fought fiercely, and the blood and debts were heavy.

The Lü Bu Group had already defeated Cao Cao several times, but due to the locust plague, the Lv Bu Group turned to the Cheng family's Li family for help due to food shortages.

Cheng's Li family pretended to help and paralyzed Lv Bu's group with fat cattle, wine, and sesame cakes, but took the opportunity to defeat Lv Bu's group.

After the retreat of the Lu Bu Group, they fought against the enemy and made a comeback, violently retaliating against the Cheng family's Li family. Li Dian's close relative Li Gan was also killed by the Lu Bu Group.

But when Hefei City was facing the invasion of the Eastern Wu army, Zhang Liao was still able to invite Li Dian to fight together regardless of past suspicions. Li Dian also showed the demeanor of taking care of the overall situation and was willing to fight with Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao had fought fiercely with the old generals of Cao Jun in the Lv Bu Group, so it was reasonable for him to be at odds with Yu Jin, Le Jin and others.

However, once, Zhang Liao had a conflict with Wu Zhou, his guard, so Zhang Liao came to see Wen Hui, the governor of Yangzhou, hoping to invite Hu Zhi to serve as his guard.
