Chapter 2142 Can one person make things happen
Southeast of Dahan, near Jiaozhi.
Liu Bei descended the mountain cautiously, and when he reached the flat ground, he took a long breath and relaxed a bit. The mountains in this place are very steep, and many places are loose and loose. If you are not careful, you will step on the rocks and crack the rocks, and the skin will be bruised and swollen, and you may even die!
『If you want to enter Jiaozhi, you must first get Cangwu. ’ Liu Bei murmured. Cangwu is on the flank, if it goes south, the safety of the flank is naturally very important.
The area of ??Jiaozhou basically has a chaotic political system. There are old officials from the imperial court, Liu Biao''s hand, and those from the Jiangdong side. Of course, there are also those who belong to Shi Xie.
At that time, Zhu Fu was under the command of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. In the third year of Zhongping, he succeeded Jia Cong and served as the governor of Jiaozhi Governor. Later, because his brother Zhu Hao, the prefect of Yuzhang, was killed by Zhonglang General Ruo Rong, he wanted to raise troops to the north. To avenge his younger brother, he was killed by the local barbarians.
This is the official statement.
In fact, there is another theory, that is, Zhu Fu didn’t do anything good in the Jiaozhou area, which caused anger and resentment, and was caught and thrown into the sea to feed the fish...
After Zhu Fu died, the Eastern Han Dynasty sent Zhang Jin to take over as the governor of Jiaozhi. The interesting result is that not long after Zhang Jin took office, he was killed by his subordinate general Qu Jing.
If Zhu Fu said that he was seeking his own death due to excessive taxation, it would be reasonable, but Zhang Jin has not been in office for a long time, what did he do to end up with his subordinates? Obviously, it must be a question of interests. After Zhang Jin took office, he definitely wanted to put his name into practice, but in the process of grasping power, he had conflicts with some people, and then GG.
And these people, apart from Shi Xie, have no second choice.
After all, Zhu Fu and Zhang Jin were both governors of Jiaozhou appointed by the official court, and Shi Xie, who was selected by the native, was to hand over power when the officials appointed by the court arrived, so Zhang Jin After death, the dead naturally do not need authority.
After the death of Zhang Jin, the Han court fell into chaos and had no time to pay attention to the land of Jiaozhou. Later, when Liu Biao came, he sent someone and appointed a governor of Jiaozhou, Lai Gong.
Lai Gong, the seventy-third grandson of Lai Shuying, a native of Lingling. Lai Gong knew that Shi Xie was powerful, so he didn''t dare to go too deep into Shi Xie''s territory in Jiaozhou, and asked Liu Biao for reinforcements. Liu Biao sent Wu Ju to fight Shi Xie...
Lai Gong thought that Wu Ju came here as his subordinate, but he didn''t know whether it was Liu Biao who was dissatisfied with Lai Gong, or Wu Ju made his own decision. Anyway, the two sides who were supposed to be in the same camp gradually had a rift, and now it is like fire and water. But Lai Gong couldn''t beat Wu Ju, and when he saw the situation was not good, he was going to run away, but Liu Bei came.
So Lai Gong was heartbroken, and led some people to vote for Liu Bei.
Lai Gong, who was following behind Liu Bei, was out of breath and covered in sweat. Sweat flowed from his forehead and soaked his robe. Lai Gong didn''t wear battle armor, because Lai Gong was not a general who was good at force. He climbed up and down with Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was fine.
『Brother Xuande, it will be half a month before it cools off... 』 Lai Gong said while wiping his sweat, 『It’s still hot, it’s not a good time to go into the army...』
Marching in the hot summer is a taboo for military strategists.
This statement is not wrong.
It''s not that Liu Bei doesn''t understand the art of war, but the problem is that other people also understand it, such as Lai Gong, who can say a few words. That''s why Liu Bei sent troops out of season, in order to catch Shi Xie by surprise.
Shi Xie obviously did not expect it, so whether it was combat preparation or rescue, it was always a beat late, resulting in being pushed all the way by Liu Bei, and now he is close to Shi Xie''s central power zone.
Liu Bei heard what Lai Gong said, and he didn''t refute it. He just smiled slightly, showing his trademark gentle smile, "Ziqian is right..."
Yes, you are right!
This is the best answer to deal with the barbarian.
Although Liu Bei and Lai Gong didn''t have much interaction before, in the past few days of contact, Liu Bei discovered that Lai Gong is a more serious scholar who likes to pick words and talk about big principles. It''s not that he has no ability, but he just doesn''t know how to be flexible.
If Liu Bei and Lai Gong said why they wanted to enter the army at the moment, then Lai Gong would talk about this military book and that military book, so Liu Bei still has to explain them one by one?
Looking at the calm surroundings, Liu Bei knew that the striker Zhang Fei should have occupied Zhaoping, but the movement of Shi Xie''s soldiers has not been discovered so far.
Perhaps, Shi Xie''s soldiers have all gone to Yulin?
That''s even better.
『Shijun’s soldiers and horses are really strong...』 Lai Gong was obviously still immersed in self-sighing, "No wonder you entered from Nanzhong, and the road was like a broken bamboo..."
Liu Bei still smiled and didn''t care about Lai Gong. Liu Bei can tolerate Zhuge Liang''s actions and words in history, not to mention Lai Gong''s behavior, which is more straightforward and easier to use than those who don''t say anything on the surface and have a lot of trouble in their stomachs.
Liu Bei is quite satisfied with the current situation. At least it can be said that he has initially gained a foothold, and the next step is to gradually devour, or cannibalize, and pull out Shi Xie.
『Is there any news about the striker? ’ Liu Bei asked.
『General Zhang hasn’t sent anyone yet. ’ The subordinate reported.
『Get the picture album! ’ Liu Bei ordered.
In fact, in history, Liu Bei''s military talent has always been ahead of Zhuge Liang. Brother Zhu was only self-taught in the later stage. In the first few battles, Liu Bei actually commanded most of them, but Mr. Luo was self-conscious and put it on Brother Zhu.
This time Liu Bei deviated from the main direction of attacking Shi Xie and turned to Cangwu. On the one hand, Cangwu was the flank, and it would be difficult to launch an attack on the south without first calming down. Having also drank together, Liu Bei also wanted to see if he could pull Wu Ju and his soldiers under his command while fighting.
Lai Gong''s administration is okay, but when he runs the army, he is a little bit crotch, while Wu Ju is the opposite. Liu Biao sent two people back then, and it was also aimed at it, but it is a fine tradition of China to be at odds with generals, let alone after leaving Jingzhou. There are no referees here to mediate and balance, only intentional or unintentional provocateurs, so it seems inevitable that Lai Gong and Wu Ju will not get along.
As a forward, Zhang Fei, on the one hand, is launching an offensive posture, and on the other hand, is to see if he can lure Wu Ju out, and then carry out a pincer attack. Of course Wu Ju is willing to surrender directly, and Liu Bei will not refuse, but few people are willing to give in before hitting the wall...
Especially the frontier generals like Wu Ju who hold "heavy troops".
This point, Liu Bei is very clear.
Back when Liu Bei was holding Liu Biao''s thigh under Liu Biao''s crotch, he intentionally or unintentionally contacted some of Liu Biao''s subordinates, such as Wu Ju, who was relatively simple, was naturally Liu Bei''s favorite.
Speaking of which, Liu Biao sent Lai Gong and Wu Ju to Jiaozhou, maybe he thought it was useless for these two people to stay in Jingzhou? In comparison, the Nanman in Jiaozhou doesn''t need to use their brains to play tricks. If they can''t even handle the Nanman, then it''s really useless...
Liu Bei looked at the map, and Lai Gong also stretched his neck to look at it.
It''s just that Lai Gong doesn''t quite understand.
After all, now Liu Bei''s map has been gradually transformed into a hussar, and it is more inclined to the map of later generations. Although there is no contour line or anything, the original freehand landscape style map drawing method has been abandoned. The distance and size are all the same. There are certain rules, and those who don''t know how to draw the rules, even if they get it, are like Lai Gong, whether they understand it or not.
Hussar''s original map of Jiaozhou was not complete. After Liu Bei went south, he added a lot of signs according to the actual situation. Now there are all kinds of marks densely packed, which makes Lai Gong dizzy, so Lai Gong simply turned his gaze to Seeing Liu Bei''s expression and seeing Liu Bei''s eyes gradually light up, he put his heart in his stomach.
『The envoy also has a good plan? ’ Lai Gong asked.
Liu Bei put away the map, handed it to the guards, and then said: "There is no good strategy... Yide is coming in front with great fanfare, Wu Cangwu can''t be ignorant... The reason why there is no movement at the moment must be Ambush somewhere...」
When Lai Gong heard this, he couldn''t help but glance around at the surrounding mountains and forests, "Ambush? 』
Liu Bei smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That''s right. ambush. Is Ziqian scared? 』
Lai Gong''s neck stiffened, "What is there to be afraid of? 』
"That''s good... I have something to trouble Ziqian," Liu Bei still smiled gently, "Since Wu Cangwu is lying in ambush in the forest, if we search for it, it will take time and effort, and it will also scare the snake, so we should lure him...Wen Ziqian There is a gap between him and Wu Cangwu, if Wu Cangwu knew where Ziqian was, he would definitely come here with his troops, and the ambush would be broken...』
"what? ! 』Lai Gong didn''t know whether it was because he hadn''t finished sweating before, or for some other reason, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead suddenly.
『Ziqian, don’t worry! ’Liu Bei held Lai Gong’s hand, ‘Bei must protect Ziqian so that nothing will go wrong! It just needs to be like this…”
...(⊙﹏⊙|||)...
Yulin County.
Bushan.
Shi Xie''s eldest son, Shi Qian, was sitting in the hall, holding a little girl in his arms, rubbing his ears and temples.
The little girl is dressed in men''s clothes, but now her temples are disheveled, her eyes are like silk, she is out of breath, her hands are on Shiyan''s shoulders, her eyes are like water, half-opened and half-closed, she screams once or twice from time to time, and then chuckles lightly , and didn''t care whether Shi Qian''s hands were up and down under his robe, whether it was light or heavy.
After a while, Xiaojiao Niang screamed in pain half-truth, while wriggling in Shi Qian''s arms and said coquettishly: "General, this body is covered with sweat and sticky...Don''t you feel uncomfortable, General?" Why don''t you let the concubine take off her clothes and serve the general well...』
"Well... don''t be in a hurry..." Shiyan squeezed a few more times, and then saw something, and let go of Xiaojiaoniang with some reluctance, patted her upright buttocks, "you come first Be honest and stay behind, and I will come to clean up you little goblin later...』
Shijian saw guards outside the hall signaling that someone was coming.
『Hmph, if the general can’t wait…』 Xiaojiao Niang wrinkled her nose, 『It’s a puppy! 』
『Hahaha...』 Shiyan laughed loudly, and then waved his hand.
This little girl is Shiyan Xinna''s concubine.
Now that the military situation is urgent, we should not bring female relatives, but...
Shiqian is in his prime, and he was in a heated relationship with this little concubine before, how could he be willing to leave this little girl in the mansion to accompany his yellow-faced woman? Wasn''t it waiting for him to turn around, afraid that there would be no bones left? So I simply let Xiaojiao Niang wear men''s clothing, pretend to be a servant, and sneak into Bushan.
It''s just that this woman is disguised as a man, except for those who are blind in the film and television dramas, who can''t see it, let alone the guards of the Shiyan in front of the hall, one counts as one, isn''t it all Wei Wei Bending over, sucking the lower abdomen, so as not to make a certain part of yourself stand out too much?
Xu Ci stood in the porch wearing a brocade robe, frowning.
Xu Ci was originally from Nanyang, but because of avoiding disaster, he was exiled to Jiaozhou. Xu Ci was born in Nanyang when he came here, so he is naturally very familiar with the scriptures and classics. On the other hand, he is also well-known. This time, he was entrusted by Shi Xie to come to assist Shi Qian in the civil affairs of Bushan. Logistical matters.
Xu Ci didn''t want to come here at first, because he came to Jiaozhou to escape the war, but he never thought that even Jiaozhou would not escape the invasion of soldiers, and he deliberately refused to run away again, but these days, people who eat and drink Shixie always Some people can''t justify it, their face has not been fully cultivated, so they agree to help Shiyan, and they plan to find a chance to escape after a while no matter what the result is...
Anyway, it should be regarded as paying for meals and accommodation during this period of time.
It''s a pity that Shi Qian didn''t have this awareness. On the contrary, he felt that Shi Xie did this because he didn''t trust him? Naturally, he was a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he was more or less hilarious in front of Xu Ci, but Shi Qian didn''t think about it himself. As far as his daily behavior was concerned, how could he make Shi Xie feel at ease?
Xu Ci''s ears are not deaf, he could hear the small, small, coquettish voices in the hall, and saw those guards bending over one by one, how could he not know what was going on?
Xu Ci really wanted to laugh, but also wanted to jump up and scold, but he held back, and didn''t show half of it on his face. Now that the war is imminent, this Shiyan is still in the mood to play these tricks, and he doesn''t know if he is being arrogant or arrogant. As for the general who can really lead troops, which one is like Shiyan? Xu Ci even affirmed that if he really went to the battlefield, as long as there is a little pressure, the whole situation may collapse.
Because Shi Qian couldn’t get the morale of the army at all…
After a while, Shi Qian summoned Xu Ci.
Xu Ci acted as if nothing had happened, and then took out a military report from his bosom, "General, urgent report from the front...Liu Bei and Liu Xuande have conquered Ji County, and the people we sent to rescue... were ambushed, and the whole Annihilation...」
"What did you say? ! Shi Qian was taken aback, "Ambush?" completely annihilated? ! 』
『Exactly. ’ Xu Ci replied.
Shiyan suddenly felt a chill rising up his spine, covering his whole body in an instant. He hurriedly grabbed the military newspaper and read it up and down, and then his hands and feet trembled.
Liu Bei is so fierce?
This dog who went to the rescue was so incompetent? They were also ambushed. From a certain point of view, this area should be the home field of Shi Xie and others. As a result, they were ambushed by Liu Bei who was playing away at home. This is simply a big joke.
This…
Isn''t it possible that Liu Bei will march to Bushan in a few days, and then the two armies will face off?
When Shi Qian was young, he did not brag less, saying that he was good at archery and swords, especially in the room, but when it comes to large-scale barriers between the two armies, fighting against each other, especially when Shi Qian found out that Liu Bei was tricky, There was a little trembling in my heart, and then my hands began to tremble more and more, and even my whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
『General...General...』Xu Ci saw that Shi Qian was more or less bewildered, and then attracted more and more attention from the surrounding guards and soldiers, so he couldn''t help frowning, and shouted in a low voice, 『General! Calm down! 』
Upon hearing the words, Shi Yan took a long breath, then calmed down somewhat, and put the general report aside. This kind of development surprised Shiyan too much. Shiyan thought that Liu Bei''s march must not be so fast. They are ordinary Nanman, but now Liu Bei is fighting against his own soldiers...
Could it be that his soldiers are better than Nanman...
This is impossible!
Shiqian suppressed the thoughts he shouldn''t have, then looked at Xu Ci, and asked: "Sir, do you have a good plan?" 』
Facing Shiyan''s request for help, Xu Ci didn''t want to take care of it, but the current situation was going to be damaged, and it would take a while before he could give himself some space, so he said in a deep voice: "The general can quickly make people feel better." Build a military stronghold on the south bank of the Yushui River, strengthen the fortifications, and strictly prevent the bandits from crossing the river. In addition, you can write a letter to ask the envoy for help...』
Anyway, I have already arranged most of the logistics and supplies on Shixie''s side. As soon as Shixie''s reinforcements arrive, Xu Ci can use the name of handover, pat his **** and leave frankly.
I don’t know if it’s because Shi Xie made an explanation, or because Shi Qian was worried about being punished by his father. Shi Qian didn’t agree to the suggestion of applying for reinforcements, but only agreed to build a military camp on the south bank of Yushui River as the forward position of Bushan County to defend Liu Bei. Suggestions, and then asked Xu Ci if there were any other good countermeasures.
Xu Ci had no choice but to take out the second part of the strategy.
The Jiaozhou area is not limited to Jiaozhi, but the population composition of the entire Jiaozhou is very complex. There are local Nanmans, Han people who migrated to the south, Shilin who have been demoted for three or four hundred years, and families who escaped disasters. Take Jiaozhou aborigines As far as the so-called Nanman is concerned, there are Baiyue people and Zhan people and Miao people. Anyway, there are too many people, and the composition is extremely complicated.
That''s why Xu Ci suggested that Shiyan send people to contact the aborigines of various ethnic groups around Yulin, and launch their expert mountain forest warfare to slow down Liu Bei''s army, and it is best to completely drag it down...
