Chapter 43 Three Attacks Yuan

"The emperor's edict said. Liu Bei, the pastor of Xuzhou, is diligent in politics and loves the people, and has excellent political achievements. Now he is appointed as a lieutenant, leading the marquis of Huaiyin County, and is in charge of the military and state affairs of the two states of Xu Yu. This is the case!" Just at the beginning of spring, the eunuch's unique shrill voice sounded in Xuzhou City.

"Long live my emperor!" Headed by Liu Bei, all the officials of all sizes in Xuzhou knelt down in the local area to receive the order. Lieutenant Liu, there is also a secret order, please screen back. The eunuch who finished the announcement was not in a hurry to congratulate, but whispered to Liu Bei.

"I understand!" At that moment, Liu Bei led the eunuch to his study. The latter took out a small bag sealed with oilcloth. After opening it layer by layer, there was another imperial edict inside, and Liu Bei took the edict again.

"The emperor's edict said. Huainan Yuan Shu, the world received the favor of the emperor, now he does not want to repay, but plots to usurp the rebellion. You are the pillar of the country and the pillar of the society. You specially ordered you to lead the people of Xuyu and the two states to eliminate rebellion, so as to correct the platform of the dynasty, and admire this!" The eunuch lowered his voice.

"I accept the order!" Liu Bei solemnly took over the secret order, and the eunuch stepped forward and said, "Captain Liu, Prime Minister Cao has agreed that General Jiang Dongsun will march to fight against Yuan Shu's rebels at the same time on the eighth day of February. I hope the lieutenant will send troops together at that time to destroy the national thieves!"

"Please go back and tell your majesty that I, Liu Bei, as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, have a sigh of relief, I have to deal with these traitors to the end!" Liu Bei said, and the eunuch nodded repeatedly. Then the two walked out of the study. Liu Bei held a banquet and didn't mention it.

At the same time, a similar scene was also staged in Wu County, and Sun Ce also vowed to fight to the death with Yuan Shu. Gong Jin, how do you think we should march this time? After sending off the imperial envoy, Sun Ce summoned everyone to discuss it.

"Brother Bofu, if I want to become a hegemon in Jiangdong, I need to occupy Jianghuai or Jingxiang. At present, Liu Biao is not completely old, and Jingzhou is not enterprising enough, but he has his own surplus. Nowadays, all families are fighting against Yuan Shu. We in the east of the river should take the opportunity to occupy the Lujiang River, the front line of Shouchun, and expand our sphere of influence to the Huaihe River, so that we can go north to Xuzhou or attack Liu Biao in the west!" Zhou Yu pointed to the map and talked.

"That's it!" Sun Ce and most of the generals think this plan is more reasonable. Jiangdong has a sparse population. If it can occupy the grain-producing city of Huainan, it will naturally be of great benefit. Thinking of this, Sun Ce said to Zhang Zhao, "Mr. Zibu, what is the population of Jiangdong now?"

"I want to return to the lord that although this kind of decree has been implemented to encourage childbirth, this person can't grow up in a day." Zhang Zhao, who has always been serious, occasionally made a joke, and everyone also laughed. What about Poyang Academy? Sun Ce asked again.

"The first batch of students has been filled, but because of my sparse population in Jiangdong, there are not too many scholars, and now I have barely filled the first batch of places." Zhang Zhao did not say the real reason. In fact, as a big family, he saw that this kind of behavior would pose a threat to his own interests, but Sun Ce's order was not easy to implement, so he had to try his best.

"It's not bad!" Sun Ce said something meaningfully, and then began to discuss with Zhou Yu about the specific dispatch of troops. This was not Zhang Zhao's intervention. All he did was to wait for them to discuss how to allocate food and fodder to support logistics.

In Xuzhou City, Liu Bei also began to discuss the dispatch of troops. Lord, for such a big event, it's better to invite General Zhao and others to come back and discuss with everyone. Lu Su proposed.

"It makes sense that such a big thing can't be without Bo Tao!" Liu Bei quickly ordered Zhao Feng and Zhang Liao in Guangling to return to Xuzhou to discuss together.

"The Lord ordered me to return to Xuzhou as soon as possible. Is there anything important to discuss?" When Zhao Feng saw this order, he intuitively told him that Liu Bei was going to take action against Yuan Laoer. At present, only Wu Dun was left to guard the city, and the rest returned to Xuzhou together.

Sure enough, Zhao Feng and others, who rushed back to Xuzhou, after meeting with Liu Bei, were about the news that the defendant's family was about to join the fight against Yuan Shu on the eighth day of February.

"Finally, I'm waiting!" Zhao Feng was also relieved. It was really not a good thing to look at Yuan Laoer, who was close at Guangling all day long. Lord, since the three families are attacking together, Yuan Highway is determined to die this time. Zhao Feng said first.

"That's right! Brother, we can calculate the old account with Yuan Shu before the tiger prison!" Zhang Fei, who came back from Dongguan, also nodded and agreed. He couldn't wait.

"I feel the same way, but how should I march in Xuzhou?" Liu Bei hesitated a little.

"Your lord, but I don't know where Cao is going to march? Zhao Feng looked at the map and suddenly asked.

"Cao Wei said that he wanted to send troops to Yingchuan. He borrowed Runan to attack Anfeng Yiyang first. What do you mean, Bo Tao?" Liu Bei looked at the map and suddenly found something.

"Lord, since Cao Wei borrowed Yuzhou, we still went to Guangling, went east to attack Huainan first, and then surrounded Shouchun, but let General Guan and Cao Wei attack Anfeng and Yiyang first. As for Lujiang, I think Jiangdong Sun Ce is determined to win this. Zhao Feng put forward his opinion after a long time.

"Why is that so?" Liu Bei looked at the map and asked unexpectedly. In his opinion, it is most important for Xia Pi to send troops to Shouchun directly. It is most important to take this strategic place, and most of the people on the side are puzzled. Only Chen Deng and Lu Su are thoughtful.

"Lord, Shouchun is the foundation of Yuan Shu, and it is difficult to capture it urgently. However, Huainan is a grain-producing city. If we can calm down the counties east of Shouchun, we can cut off Yuan Shu's return, and second, we can preserve our strength. Speaking of this, Zhao Feng also paused and said, "Yuan Shu's territory is separated from Yanzhou from Yuzhou, and Cao's whip is out of reach. With Cao Yan's surname, these counties will be divided into me and Sun Ce, so that I can fight for this. In other words, Hou Shouchun and Huainan must compete with me in Xuzhou and Sun Ce. In that case, let's take the opportunity to take Huainan first. The Jiangdong army is good at water warfare, but it is not good at attacking and defending the city. It can be done slowly in the future.

"It makes sense!" Liu Bei looked at the map for a long time and also saw a little bit of fame. Lord, General Zhao's words are not bad. At this time, Lu Su also agreed with Zhao Feng's opinion. As long as he took Huainan, what could he do in Shouchun alone? Chen Deng beside him also nodded.

"Is Mr. Yuan Long in good health?" Zhao Feng looked at Chen Deng's face and asked quickly.

"In the past, Mr. Hua Tuo has been diagnosed and treated, and now he has recovered!" Chen Deng replied with a smile. Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that Chen Deng died because of eating fish and turtles raw in history. He hurriedly said, "I recently heard that Brother Yuanlong likes to eat fish and turtles raw, which is not conducive to health preservation. It is said that he should eat less later."

"Mr. Hua Tuo said the same." Chen Deng was a little surprised and seemed to be a little surprised by Zhao Feng's words. At this time, Liu Bei told Zhao Feng that he had decided to open another medical department in Xuzhou College, recruiting 50 people every year, and let Hua Tuo teach medicine. At the same time, a medical center was set up in Xuzhou to treat the people.

"The Lord's move is very good!" Zhao Feng nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Perhaps because of his poor background, Liu Bei has always been good to the grassroots people in history. Of course, it is also because of the popularity that Liu Bei can survive no matter how difficult the environment is.

"Since the strategy of sending troops has been decided, the next step is to send troops! I don't know who wants to take this position as a pioneer? Liu Bei looked at so many generals under his account, and he had a happy worry for a while.

"This pioneer, let me Lao Zhang do it! Brother, with me, ten thousand elite soldiers, I promise to open the road every mountain and build a bridge when I meet water. You just wait for the cities to visit one by one!" Zhang Fei patted his chest.

"This!" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and knew that Zhang Fei was brave and his heart was quite moved. The rest of the generals on the side were suddenly anxious. Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng were fine, and Zhang Liao and Zang Ba almost jumped out to ask for their lives. With this jump, Song Xian and Wei Xu couldn't sit still. The two were originally ordered to support Guangling, but they didn't expect that before they arrived in Guangling, Zhao Feng had designed to recruit Ji Ling, which made the idea of their meritorious service fail, and now it is naturally urgent. The rest of Ji Ling was even more anxious at first sight. As a surrendering general, if he did not take the opportunity to take a superficial position, it would not be easy to get along in the future, and now he would also stand up and ask for his life.

Liu Bei was still hesitating, but he heard Zhao Feng say, "Lord, the last general will protect one person as the vanguard, and he will definitely receive a wonderful effect. It's not a problem to defeat the enemy."

"Who?" Liu Bei is also curious about who can make Zhao Feng so valued.

"Young General Guan Ping." Zhao Feng smiled and said that this answer was almost unexpected to everyone. Everyone looked at Guan Ping with a stunned face when they heard the words.

"Me?" Guan Ping was also caught off guard by Zhao Feng's recommendation, and he was at a loss for a while.

"That's right, Lord. There is no general under Yuan Shu's account. I believe that no one in Huainan can match the martial arts of Major General Guan. However, although the young general's martial arts skills are high, his reputation is not obvious, and he is also young. The enemy generals must be despised at first sight. In this way, as long as Major General Guan challenges, the enemy will naturally fight. Once the major general is killed in front of the battle, the capture of the city will be much smoother!" Zhao Feng gave his reasons in detail.

"That makes sense!" After listening to Zhao Feng's explanation, everyone in the hall was a little surprised and suddenly relieved. Ping'er, are you confident? Liu Bei looked at Guan Ping and asked.

"Guan Ping is willing to be in this position!" Guan Pingyuan was still a little cramped, but as soon as Liu Bei asked, he immediately held his fist.

"Good, as a pioneer, you must be skilled in martial arts and familiar with the art of war!" At this point, Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to examine Guan Ping's military tactics. Zhang Fei asked several questions. Guan Ping answered fluently, and everyone beside him also nodded secretly.

"Good nephew! It seems that the second brother has really put a lot of effort on you. In this way, if you can walk 30 rounds under the third uncle, how about this time you become a pioneer? Zhang Fei was also quite moved when he saw Guan Ping's answer. The last sentence was to ask Liu Bei what he said, but Liu Bei also nodded.

On the school grounds, Zhang Fei and Guan Ping got on the horse separately, and then fought one-on-one. Guan Ping is only 16 years old this year. Although he has been practicing martial arts diligently since he was a child, there is still a clear gap between him and Zhang Fei. After trying his best to fight for dozens of rounds, he was finally shocked by Zhang Fei with a big knife in his hand and had to be defeated.

"Third uncle's concession!" Guan Ping is also sincerely convinced. I didn't let you!" Zhang Fei said with a rare tone, and then turned his head and asked, "Brother, how many rounds are there?"

"Forty-three rounds!" Liu Bei counted clearly. So the matter was finalized. Guan Ping was the vanguard, and then Ji Ling, who was familiar with the military situation in Huainan, led 20,000 elite soldiers to attack Yuan Shu's Huainan area.

"General Zhao, why do you want to give up the position of vanguard to me now?" After waiting for everyone to leave, Guan Ping quietly pulled Zhao Feng's sleeves and asked in a low voice.

"Hey hey, An Guo (Guan Ping's words) Let me ask you, do you like Miss Zhen?" Zhao Feng did not answer directly and asked him a question.

"Huh? This?" Guan Ping suddenly blushed, and now he really looked like Guan Yu.

"Anguo, it's not impossible to like it. But the Zhen family is also a famous family in Hebei. If you are not a penniperate person, how can they like you? If you can make more contributions and make a name for yourself, maybe he will say that the lord or the second general will propose marriage for you, and they will agree!" Zhao Feng continued to follow the good guidance.

"Thank you, General Zhao, for your success!" Guan Ping was grateful from the bottom of his heart this time, but he didn't know that Zhao Feng had another idea: Zhen Mi's history first belonged to Yuan Xi, then to Cao Pi, but was finally killed in the court battle, which was really a shameful. Now that Guan Ping is interested in this little girl, Suo is looking for an opportunity to set them up, which is also a slight change in Luo Shen's tragic fate.
