The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

"Yes, yes, what Duke Chen said was right, I was wrong." Xun Zhen immediately admitted the mistake and asked, "Dare to ask Duke Chen, how is it?"

Chen Ji glanced at Xun Zhen and stroked his gray beard, as if he had something to say, but probably because there were slightly more people present, he finally put away what he wanted to say for the time being and followed Xun Zhen's question. He said: "Although Ma Chao and Yan Xing were brave and strong, Ma Teng and Han Sui could not work together after all, so the battle lasted until evening. defeat."

Xun Zhen couldn't help but feel regretful and said, "What a shame! Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated so quickly!" Seeing Chen Ji's brows wrinkling again, before he could ask himself what he meant, he quickly continued, "Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated! Teng and Han Sui are certainly thieves, but Duke Chen, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou are not thieves? If the two sides can fight a few more battles, Ma Teng and Han Sui can hold on for a few more days. The casualties will be even greater. In this way, when I come to Rizin Wang Chang'an, I will have a better chance of winning."

Chen Ji raised his eyebrows, stroked his beard and said, "Although Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated in the first battle, there were not many casualties on both sides. I heard that there were more than ten thousand dead! Among them, Ma Teng and Han Sui were among the bandits. The casualties may be larger, but the casualties of the thieves are not too small. Moreover, although the thieves won this battle, there was a rift between Li Jue and Fan Chou because of this, which can be regarded as a good thing."

——However, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Li Li are all elites, and Ma Teng and Han Sui are also warriors. This battle between the two sides is really not fancy at all, it is completely head-to-head, so although the big battle is only There was a fight, but both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Xun Zhen's heart moved, and she thought, "Li Jue and Fan Chou are suspicious?"

He seems to have a little impression of this, where he should have seen it in his previous life, but he can't remember the specific plot for a while.

He raised his spirits and asked, "Eunuch Chen, after winning the battle, there is a rift, but is Li Jue afraid of Fan Chou's bravery in battle?"

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "No."

Xun Zhen asked, "What is that?"

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, etc. also all listened carefully, waiting for Chen Ji to clear their doubts.

Chen Ji said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated, and they led their troops to flee. Fan Chou and others followed closely with their cavalry and kept going into the night. Han Sui then sent people to see Fan Chou, and privately said to Fan Chou, 'The world is uncertain, and the state is in harmony. Here, although it is a small violation, I want to be a great harmony, and I want to share a word.' The two saw each other, and the horses crossed their arms, laughing for a long time. Then, Fan Chou let Ma Teng and Han Sui go.

"But during the battle with Ma Teng and Han Sui, because of Ma Chao's bravery, Li Li tasted a little retreat. At that time, Fan Chou scolded him angrily, saying, 'If people want to cut off your father's head, how dare you do this, I can't cut Qingxie!' Li Li heard about this, and after returning to Chang'an, he reported it to Li Jue."

"The world has been repeated and unknown, and the relationship between the state and the state, although it is a small violation today, must be a great harmony, and I want to share a word." In this sentence, the second sentence "state and state", Han Sui and Fan Chou are both Liangzhou people. That's why Han Sui said: "Although it's a small violation today, we have to be Datong", which means that although we have a little friction today, there is a chance that we will come together in the future. The subtext is that the heroes from home and abroad are rising together today. If Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Xun Zhen, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, etc., the Guandong princes come to attack you again in the future, you may still need the help of me as a "prefecture". Therefore, he asked "to share a word" and wanted to make peace with you. Fan Chou met and chatted.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu looked at each other.

Chen Qun said with a smile: "On the basis of Han Sui's wisdom, and his intention to break the useless plan when he fled in a hurry, his move is definitely not a counter-measure, but Li Jue is suspicious because of this, but it is reasonable."

Chen Ji said: "A thief is a thief! It is because of interests that this 'little man is used for profit' is also righteous! Han Sui's move is certainly not a counter-scheme, but it has the effect of counter-scheming!"

Xi Zhicai was thinking about it, and he said: "Chen Gong, Ming Gong, if Li Jue and Fan Chou have a rift because of this, or even internal strife, then Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and the thieves will fall apart soon!"

Chen Ji said: "Li Jue and Fan Chou each have their own chapters. Although Li Jue is the strongest, Fan Chou's chapters are not too few. If the two of them are in conflict, even if Li Jue wins, the group of the thieves will indeed lose. Not small!"

"Chen Gong, it's not that the loss is not small, it's falling apart."

Chen Ji didn't quite understand the meaning of Xi Zhicai's words, and asked, "Zhi Cai, what do you mean by this?"

"If Li Jue and Fan Chou are in conflict, no matter who wins or loses, the remaining Guo Si will definitely feel uneasy, which means that Guo Si will also have a disagreement with Li Jue or Fan Chou. Sihui will directly participate in the infighting between Li Jue and Fan Chou, or the winner between him and Li Jue and Fan Chou will fall out sooner or later." Xi Zhicai stroked his beard and analyzed that, at the end, respectfully He said to Chen Ji, "Chen Gong, this is the meaning of loyalty 'falling apart'."

Chen Ji thought about it for a while, and it was indeed such a truth. His eyes lit up, and at first he was overjoyed, and said, "Achieving high-mindedness, it is indeed true!" Immediately, the joy faded, and he turned to worry, saying, "If the three thieves are competing with each other, , I'm afraid that the saint will be in danger!" He stared at Xun Zhen and said, "Zhenzhi, if this is the case, then you need to prepare for the Qin King as soon as possible!"

Xun Zhen said, "Zhicai's analysis is good, but Duke Chen, there is a variable in it."

"What variable?"

Xun Zhen said, "It's Jia Xu."

"Jia Xu?"

Xun Zhen said, "Jia Xu is a man of great ingenuity, and the thieves in Li Jue trust him. If he turns around, the infighting between the thieves in Li Jue may not happen." After a pause, he said, "But What Duke Chen said is very true, in case the three thieves really go to war and the emperor is in danger, I really have to make some preparations for the matter of King Qin. ... Well, Duke Chen, I will send more people to Chang'an from tomorrow. Inquire about the news, and once I know that there will be a change, I will send troops to King Qin of Chang'an! How?"

Chen Ji frowned and said, "Zhenzhi, Xuzhou is one or two thousand miles away from Chang'an. Even if you get the news ahead of time, I'm afraid you won't be able to help!"

But just now, Xun Zhen calmly made a decision, he said in his heart: "Before Yuan Shao, especially Cao Cao, we must control the emperor into my hands, this is me and Zhicai waiting. The strategic decision that has been made. If you want to be able to reach Chang'an and bring the emperor to Yu, Xu, Henan Yin and other counties, you need to get it first, or at least you need to take some important places in Henan Yin and other counties. As a stronghold for my troops, I originally planned to wait for Qingzhou to be more stable, and then I would attack Henan Yin and other counties, but now it seems that it is time to use Henan Yin!"

These things he thought, naturally, he would not tell Chen Ji directly.

Xun Zhen said calmly, "Don't worry, Duke Chen, sending someone to Chang'an to inquire about the news is only one aspect."

"Oh? What's the other side?"

Xun Zhen said: "On the other hand, I went to Shubofu and told him about Zhicai's analysis and Duke Chen's concerns, and asked him to join forces with me in Yin and other counties in Henan. Second, if Chang'an changes, with this army stationed in Yin and other counties in Henan, even if our army cannot reach Chang'an quickly, this army will

Horses can rush to King Qin first! "

Chen Ji thought for a while and felt that this was a solution, nodded and said, "That's fine." He said with relief, "Zhenzhi, if all the lords in the sea can be as royal as Qing, then everyone will work together, Li Juezhu. No matter how rampant the thieves are, they will be eliminated early!"

Xun Zhen sighed and said, "The most famous princes in the sea today are the ones who have the most reputations, not by road, but in the beginning, but the two brothers are divided into the south and the north, and they don't want to repay the country's kindness. It’s just to seize the territory!” Zhuang Ruo said with embarrassment, “If the two of his brothers are willing to work with me and work together in Wang Chang’an, then the highway will go out of Nanyang and west to Wuguan; at the beginning, we will go south to Jizhou and attack Jiguan; I will lead Xuzhou. Righteous man, go straight to Hangu, then the three troops and horses will join forces to attack the key point, and it will be easy to destroy Li Jue's thieves!"

Xi Zhicai knew Xun Zhen the most, shook the feather fan, and said in agreement: "Chen Gong, Zhendong's loyalty to the monarch has been said to Zhongyan many times. The Han family has given him the Yuan family's deep gratitude for generations, and Zhendong will be furious and sigh incessantly.

Chen Ji admired Xun Zhen and said, "Zhenzhi, it's good that you have this heart! The emperor will be very happy when he finds out."

...

From the life gap between Li Jue and Fan Chou, it was decided to go to Sun Ce, and now start the plan to attack Yin and other places in Henan. Xun Zhen retracted the topic and continued the long peace between Li Jue and others and Ma Teng and Han Sui. Watch battle.

He asked, "Chen Gong, after Ma Teng and Han Sui were freed, did Li Jue stop pursuing him? Did Zhujun Chongshao, who fled to Huaili, escaped and went to join forces with Ma Teng, Han Sui and others. Soldiers~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Still can't escape?"

Chen Ji looked sad and said: "Zhongshao Zhujun failed to escape. Ma Teng and Han Sui fled westward and fled into Liangzhou, but Li Jue stopped chasing after him and instead besieged Huaili. Huaili County was captured by his The thieves were captured, and all the lords of Zhongshao and Shao died!"

In fact, Li Jue not only stopped chasing Ma Teng and Han Sui, but also accepted Jia Xu's suggestion and took measures to win over Ma Teng and Han Sui again. General An Di and Han Sui were General An Jiang.

Xun Zhen sighed: "The thieves were able to get out, but they actually killed the loyal ministers! Heenzhen is not in Chang'an, if it were, how could it be here!"

Chen Ji was saddened, and said: "After capturing Huaili and killing the lords of Chong Shao, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou sent troops to loot Sanfu, attacked cities and towns, burned, killed, and looted. Countless people died!"

One thing happened after Chen Ji left Chang'an. He didn't know it yet, that Guo Si and Fan Chou were forced by Li Jue to give them the right to "add to the government" because of their merits. In addition to Li Jue's own "house", the three of them and San Gong became the six houses.

...

After a long talk for a long time, Chen Ji's spirit was not good.

Chen Qun refused to let his father live in Xun Zhen's house any more, so he accompanied Chen Ji to his house in the Wutong to rest.

Zhang Zhao and other officials all resigned.

Only Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia were left in the hall.

Xun Yu said: "Brother, you just said that you planned to go to Shubofu and asked him to go to Henan Yin. In Yu's humble opinion, Qingzhou is not stable yet. I am afraid it is not time to use Henan Yin?"

Xun Zhen was about to answer when Zhang Zhao, who had just left, turned back, walked in a hurry, entered the hall and said, "Ming Gong, urgent military report."

"What military newspaper?"

"Yuan Tan leads thousands of troops and will attack Pingyuan County!"
