The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

When Jingzhou resumed the war, this military report was sent by Xun Chen from Jiujiang County as an expedited delivery.

The military report was sent to the prefecture, Xun Yu read it, and immediately came to report to Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen took the military newspaper and unfolded it. Seeing the military newspaper, it said: Yuan Shu will attack Xiangyang with Zhang Xun and Lejie as his generals; Lü Bu will lead the cavalry to attack Huangzu in the south.

When the military report was written, Yuan Shu and Lü Bu had not yet fought against Liu Biao and Huang Zu, and were still on their way.

——Now Xuzhou is due to Liu Biao's ally, and Xun Chen and others have carefully placed them. Whether it is Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, or Lu Bu, they have arranged a lot of fine works in their respective territories. Many local or from the north who moved to Jing in order to avoid the war, maintained a positive relationship with Xun Chen and even Xun Zhen, so Xun Chen knew the internal situation of Jingzhou well even though he was in Yangzhou. Any bells and whistles can quickly get the news.

This is the case at the moment. Yuan Shu and Lu Bu had just sent out their troops, and the news had already been sent to Xun Zhen's case.

After reading this military report, Xun Zhen showed no surprise or surprise.

He put down the military newspaper, and calmly said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, it's really as I expected, Yuan Gonggong can't hold back anymore."

Xun Yu said: "Brother, Liu Junlang is from Muyizhou, and he has always attached great importance to military affairs. He has taken Qiang Hu as a service, tried to kill Ren Qi and Jia Long, prevented Situ Zhao from entering the country, and took in Nanyang and Sanfu refugees. They were selected as soldiers of Dongzhou, and they were called brave. Although Liu Junlang died today, Liu Zhang, his beloved son, also raised volunteer soldiers from Liu He, Shen Mi, Lou Fa, etc., but they were unable to defeat Zhang, but were defeated. , it can be seen that Liu Zhang should have received the support of Liu Junlang's old divisions such as Dongzhou soldiers, Dongzhou soldiers and Qiang Hu.

"Although I heard that Liu Zhang is warm and kind, he is not a hero, but Dongzhou generals and Zhao Wei () forbearance, and Liu Zhang's family is Jiangxia, and his family is in Jingzhou with quite a few relatives and friends, Liu Jingsheng has to guard against it! Yuan Gonggong thinks about it. , To swallow Xiangyang, how could he miss this opportunity?

"However, as far as Liu Jingsheng is concerned, Yuan Gonggong's attack on Xiangyang this time is different from the previous one. This time, he has enemies on both sides, and it is expected that he will not be able to go all out to deal with Yuan Gonggong. Then, this Xiangyang It might be a tough fight.”

Xun Zhen stood up, went down to the hall, took a few steps with her hands behind her back, and said, "It may be a hard fight, but Yuan Gonggong tyrannized the remnants of the people, was unpopular, and had no talent for military strategy. Even Zhang Xun and others can't be called generals, Xiangyang, Liu Jingsheng can still hold it, but Huang Zu's side..."

Xun Yu said, "Are you worried that Huang Zu might not be able to stop Lu Fengxian?"

"The last time Lv Bu attacked Huang Zu, it was thanks to Liu Jingsheng that Cai Mao and other leaders helped Huang Zu to repel Lv Bu, but this time, as you just said, Liu Jingsheng will be caught in the north and the west. I am embarrassed, I am afraid that he will not have enough troops to support Huang Zu, and if there is no reinforcement outside, Lu Bu, a general, Huang Zu may not be his opponent."

Xun Yu said: "Brother, Yu also has this concern. If Lv Bu can get to the important place in Jiangxia, firstly, Yuan Shu will be able to form a siege of Liu Jingsheng, and Xiangyang will be in danger; secondly, Jiangxia is adjacent to my Jiujiang County. Then there may be chaos in Jiujiang. Dare to ask brother, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Xun Zhen thought about it for a while, and without expressing her own opinion, she asked Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

Xun Yu said: "Huang Zu can win people's hearts, he is also knowledgeable about soldiers, and Xiakou is here, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if he is not an enemy of Lu Fengxian in the field, if he sticks to it, he will be able to do it in a short time. The strategy is to wait and see first, order Jiujiang, and order to prepare for support."

If Liu Biao and Huang Zu were unable to defeat Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, Liu Biao would definitely ask his ally Xun Zhen for help. Jiujiang and Jiangxia are bordering. If things are urgent, reinforcements can arrive in two or three days. In other words, although it is almost certain that without Liu Biao's reinforcements, Huang Zu would not be Lu Bu's opponent in 90% of cases, but as long as Shilling Jiujiang Prepare for the rescue, and then wait for Liu Biao's letter for help before it is too late. Xun Yu's strategy was exactly what Xun Zhen wanted.

...

In the dialogue between Xun Zhen and Xun Yu, what they said about "Liu Junlang is dead", "Liu He, Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others have raised up righteous soldiers", "Zhao Wei is now stationed in Quren", and "Dongzhou soldiers", etc. What's the matter, what do you mean?

Liu Junlang, that is, Liu Yan, "Junlang" is Liu Yan's character.

It turned out that not long ago, there was a change in Yizhou, that is, Liu Yan died of illness, and his son Liu Zhang succeeded Yizhou.

Liu Yan, who can be said to have some vision, some means, and quite a lot of ambition, has helped to "turn history into shepherd", which has caused the phenomenon of local warlords in recent years. As mentioned above, it is Liu Yan. It was first proposed to the court.

After the imperial court accepted his proposal, Liu Yan originally wanted to be the shepherd of Jiaozhou to avoid the war, but because he heard that Yizhou had "the spirit of the emperor", he changed the appointment to be the shepherd of Yizhou. Yizhou, took charge of the military and political power in Yizhou. During these years in Yizhou, Liu Yan relied on his political skills and daring to kill and act, while violently attacking the local tyrants in Yizhou, while winning over and recruiting scholars and migrants from Sanfu and Nanyang who migrated to Jing. He carefully built his own team and firmly controlled Yizhou in his hands, but not long ago, it was also related to the battle of Changpingguan between Ma Teng and Li Jue and Guo Si. , Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Fan and second son Liu Dan were killed by Li Jue for participating in the planning of Ma Teng's rebellion. The news spread to Yizhou, and it happened that a fire broke out in Mianzhu, burning Liu Yan's mansion and the car. , extended to the residences, and there was no more than a museum. Under the double blow, Liu Yan was stunned.

After his death, the Changan court heard the news and thought it was an opportunity to bring Yizhou back under its control, so they appointed Yingchuan.

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^ Ren Humao is the governor of Yizhou, but Liu Yan's subordinates, Sima Zhao Wei, Zhizhong engaged Wang Shang, etc. think that Liu Zhang is weak, and it is best to be led by Liu Zhang. Yizhou, this would be beneficial to them, so they supported Liu Zhang as the prefect of Yizhou.

On the one hand, there are the chief officials who were worshipped by the emperor, and on the other hand, the chief officials supported by Zhao Wei and others. It was inevitable that there would be conflicts between the two. Moreover, when Liu Yan was in power, the attack on the local tyrants and the opposition in Yizhou was really cruel. On the pretext of killing more than ten people including Wang Xian and Li Quan, Qian Wei, the prefect of Qianwei, and Jia Long, the captain of the school, who were in chaos in response to Zhao Qian's defeat, also killed them. The state soldiers invaded and invaded Yizhou, and they suffered for the people of Yizhou for a long time. This led to Liu Zhang being promoted by Zhao Wei and others as the governor of Yizhou. Yizhou Biejia Liu He, generals Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others raised troops to oppose Liu Zhang. He never beat Zhao Wei, as Xun Yu said, "Instead, he was defeated and entered Jingzhou." It was a fact that Liu Zhang took over as Yizhou, so the imperial court had no choice but to agree to the recommendation of Zhao Wei and others, and in order to appease Liu Zhang, he raised his official position a lot, and he was no longer "prefect" at all, just like his father Liu Yan. He was also appointed as "Yizhou Shepherd".

——There needs to be an extra sentence here. Those who oppose Liu Zhang taking over Yizhou are mostly natives of Yizhou, but Zhao Wei and Wang Shang, who are leading the charge of Liu Zhang taking over Yizhou, are also beneficial. State natives.

Governance is engaged in the state government officials, state officials in accordance with the custom, non-local people can not be appointed, Wang Shang is a native of Yizhou. Zhao Wei was also a native of Yizhou, and he was from Baishi County, but he followed Liu Yan very early, and he joined Liu Yan before Liu Yan entered Yi. When Liu Yan was appointed as the shepherd of Yizhou, Zhao Wei was the magistrate of Taicang County. Because he was old friends with Liu Yan, in order to get a better future, after hearing about it, he voluntarily resigned and joined Liu Yan. Zhao Wei, Wang Shang, and Liu Yan were very close. They were willing to recommend Liu Zhang to succeed Yizhou, not to represent the interests of local scholars in Yizhou, but for their own interests.

But that Liu Biao, long ago when Liu Yan was alive, had not dealt with Liu Yan.

In the second year of Chuping, Liu Yan made a chariot with thousands of rides, and had the intention of proclaiming the emperor. Liu Biao wrote to the court at that time, saying that Liu Yan had the theory that Zixia suspected a saint in Xihe, "Zixia suspected a saint in Xihe." Yunyun said that when Zixia was in Xihe in his later years, he was mistaken for Confucius by Xihe people. Liu Biao's words were accusing Liu Yan of conspiracy.

It was already at odds, and now Liu He and other rebels have fled into Jingzhou. Of course, Liu Zhang could not help but raise his vigilance against Liu Biao, so he used Zhao Wei to station his troops to endure. This was to guard against Liu Biao taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, and it was not ruled out that there might also be plans to prepare to attack Jingzhou.

All of the above are the meanings of "Liu Junlang is dead", "Liu He, Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others have raised up righteous soldiers", and "Zhao Wei is now in charge of Qu forbearance". Then, what are the Dongzhou soldiers and Dongzhou soldiers referring to?

Dongzhou soldiers refer to Liu Yan's confidant troops who were selected and trained from Sanfu, Nanyang and other refugees who entered Jing before. There are also some soldiers of the Yellow Turbans in Yizhou; Dongzhou soldiers In a broad sense, it refers to all the refugees from Sanfu and Nanyang who entered Jingjing, and in a narrow sense, it refers to the scholars among these refugees, such as Fazheng and Mengda, who are still young and famous later.

Sanfu and Nanyang are both in the east of Yizhou, so they are collectively named "Dongzhou".

...

In fact, regarding Yuan Shu and Lü Bu fighting in Jingzhou this time, there is another piece of news that Xun Zhen has not yet obtained.

That is, when Lu Bu fought Huang Zu again this time, Lu Bu found a support army for himself, namely Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha County.

Zhang Xian, a native of Nanyang, had served as the chief of Lingling and Guiyang before moving to Changsha. Lingling and Guiyang counties belong to Lingling County and Guiyang County, Lingling County and Guiyang County are both in the south of Changsha County and bordering Changsha County. That is to say, Zhang Xian was an official in the southern part of Jingzhou for a long time. But there is only one thing, this person is stubborn, since Liu Biao arrived in Jing, he has been at odds with Liu Biao. ——Liu Fian rode into Jing and took over the counties of Jing and Xiang. He was also a man of high spirits, so how could he bear Zhang Xian's strengths? In fact, he had long wanted to deal with him, but there was Yuan Shu in the north, so he couldn't make it, so he could only endure it until now.

However, although Zhang Xian was at odds with Liu Biao, before that, he had no connection with Yuan Shu, because after all, there was Xiangyang in the middle; Yuan Shu never thought about joining Zhang Xian.

And this time, the reason why Lu Bu thought of Zhang Xian and got in touch with Zhang Xian was out of Chen Gong's plan. After Chen Gong learned about Zhang Xian and Liu Biao's discord, he made a suggestion to Lu Bu that he could take advantage of this. Changsha County is in the south of Jiangxia County and borders Jiangxia in the north. If Zhang Xian is willing to send troops, Huang Zu will not be able to defend. Lü Bu adopted this strategy and sent someone to see Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian didn't give a clear answer to Lu Bu, and he didn't say that troops would help him, but even if he didn't send troops directly, as long as Lu Bu and Huang Zu started fighting, he would stumble behind Jiang Xia, and it would be of great help to Lu Bu. .

There is no need to say much about this.

After talking back to the present moment, but after deciding on the countermeasures to deal with Jingzhou's new war, Xun Yu got up from the table, went to Xun Zhen's side, and said, "Brother, idiot has an idea, I don't know if it is feasible or not."

"What's your idea? You and my brother, if you have any idea, just let me know."

Xun Yu responded with a "yes" and said: "Brother, Xu Rong has led his troops to settle in Yingchuan for a long time, but Brother A has not yet ordered him to formally take Henan Yin. The reason is that our army may take Henan Yin. There will be three major obstacles. One is Yuan Benchu, the other is Yuan Gonggong, and the other is the thieves Li Jue and Guo Si. Next, Li Jue, Guo Si and Ma Teng confront each other, and then Yuan Benchu ​​may attack Gongsun Zan again. Then Yuan Gonggong and Liu Jingsheng went to the battle again, and the three resistances have either gone or at least eased.

"Brother, Yu wondered if it was time to completely capture Henan Yin."

...

That night, when returning to the back house for dinner, Xun Zhen was still there.

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^ I want this suggestion from Xun Yu.

He was so absorbed in thinking that when picking up the dishes, he touched the table with his chopsticks several times, but he didn't say anything, but he still put the chopsticks into his mouth and couldn't chew it. This look made the maids serving on the side cover their mouths and snicker.

Chen Zhi couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Husband, what are you thinking about?"

After asking two or three times, Xun Zhen came back to her senses, looked up at Chen Zhi, and said, "Young Master, what did you say?"

Chen Zhi said, "The concubine asked her husband, what are you thinking about?"

"I didn't think of anything."

"I don't think about anything, but why can't I get food with chopsticks several times? Are you thinking about state affairs?"

There were maids serving the meals in the hall. Of course, Xun Zhen wouldn't say what he was thinking. He put down his chopsticks, took the silk towel, wiped his mouth casually, and said with a smile, "Family, family, first family. Then, in front of Yu Qing, how could I be distracted by the state?"

"My husband, I'm afraid it's not true."

"Young Master, I have something I wanted to ask you."

"What do you want to ask the concubine about, husband?"

Xun Zhen said solemnly, "Why have you always called me your lord, but never called me your lord?"

"The wife calls her husband a monarch, and this is a ritual, and it's not that the husband doesn't know, so why do you ask this question?"

Xun Zhen shook her head and said, "No, no."

"What do you mean, husband?"

Xun Zhen said: "The monarch is distant, the gentleman is dear, and the relationship between husband and wife is love, young gentleman, from now on you will call me as a gentleman. It is the so-called, kiss me and love me, so I am honored. , who will be my lord?"

Chen Zhi was stunned.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Since then, you and I, your husband and wife, will leave behind a story of husband and wife 'Qingqing, me and me' for future generations, which is very beautiful!"

Chen Zhi eased his astonishment, spit out, her face flushed red, and said, "Husband, it's not serious!"

The maids in the hall laughed more and more.

Xun Zhen laughed.

But being interrupted by Xun Zhen, Chen Zhi no longer asked what he was thinking.

...

Ten days later, the Jiujiang Military News came again, and Liu Biao and Huang Zu had already fought against Yuan Shu and Lu Bu respectively.

Half a month later~www.wuxiamtl.com~ another military report came. This military report came from Jizhou, and Qu Yi led his troops north to attack Gongsun Zan.

That night, Xun Zhen couldn't sleep.

In the middle of the night, when I heard the rustling of the wind outside the window, and saw the moonlight like water filling the bed, Xun Zhen put on his clothes, and said, "It's such a good night, one or two sages are like Wenruo and Zhicai." Go to Wutongli.

The inner door in Wutong was closed, but even when Xun Zhen arrived, not to mention the inner door, even the city gate had to be opened.

Entering the interior, Xun Zhen went directly to Xun Yu's house and asked someone to invite Xi Zhicai to come.

Xun Yu hadn't slept yet and was dealing with unfinished government affairs when he heard that Xun Zhen was visiting and hurriedly greeted him.

The two were seated, and the food and drink had not been set before Xi Zhi arrived.

Xun Zhen put away the gossip she had been chatting with Xun Yu, looked at the two of them, and said, "Wen Ruo, Zhicai, I have made up my mind, tomorrow I will order Xu Rong and Xuande to take Henan Yin! Send troops to help."

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
