Chapter 32 Nanguanghua Beihai asked for help Lv Wenhou Puyang defeated Cao (14
Cao Cao's subordinates are also regarded as strict military discipline. If there is no war, running horses in the camp is a serious crime. The person who reported the matter flew into the camp, and it can be seen that the matter is urgent. Cao Cao did not dare to delay and hurriedly ordered someone to enter the account. At this time, he prayed in his heart, but don't be lost in Yanzhou. It's not a joke to lose the nest.
The generals in the account also raised their hearts to their throats for fear of fire in the backyard. But there is a saying that what you are afraid of comes from. The first sentence of the dusty messenger knelt into the tent was: "Lv Bu has attacked Yanzhou and entered Puyang. Please return to the army as soon as possible!"
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it, and they all remembered what Nan Yeshi said. Xun You, the master, was even more shocked. He thought of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Li Wei and Guo Yan, but he never thought that it was Lv Bu who broke through Yanzhou.
Cao Cao didn't know where Lv Bu came from. He hurriedly asked the messenger, "Why is Lv Bu in Yanzhou? Just say it carefully."
It turned out that Lv Bu suffered the rebellion of Li and Guo, so he escaped from Wuguan and defected to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu learned that the Wanli floating cloud bicycle was in Lv Bu's hand, so he asked him for it. Lv Bu did not give it, and Yuan Shu refused to accept it.
Lv Bu left Yuan Shu and switched to Yuan Shao, but this time he was accepted by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao used Lv Bu's bravery to fight against the Montenegro army. Lv Bu rode a red rabbit horse over the city wall and flew across the trench. The Montenegro army was unstoppable. In addition, with the support of fierce generals such as Wei Xu and Cheng Lian, it is even more powerful.
Yu Du and Lv Bu were killed one after another, and Tao Sheng and others defected to Yuan Shao. Yang Feng and Bai saw that Yuan Shao and Lv Bu were so powerful that they understood why Zhang Yan and Guo Tai wanted to defect to Nan Ye, which was far away in Jiaozhou. At this time, they regretted and wanted to lead their troops south to Nanye and Zhang Yan, and contacted the Jizhou Dart Bureau.
Yuan Shao had already become bigger in the north at this time, with Lv Bu's help, and gradually stopped paying attention to Nanye, who was far away in Jiaozhou. He didn't want to see Yang Feng and Bai around take a large number of people and property to Nanye, so he sent people to intercept Yang Feng and Bai Juan halfway and take all their money and food. Since then, the Montenegrin army collapsed and was destroyed by Yuan Shao and Lv Bu.
Lv Bu relied on his achievements in destroying Montenegro, arrogant Yuan Shao's generals, and asked Yuan Shao for more troops. Yuan Shao did not agree, and Lv Bu ordered his generals to plunder everywhere. Yuan Shao has hated Lv Bu deeply since then.
Lv Bu knew that he had offended Yuan Shao and asked to return to Luoyang. Yuan Shao ostensibly agreed to Lv Bu's request and sent a sergeant to escort Lv Bu, but secretly planned to get rid of him. Yuan Shao also knew that Lv Bu was powerful and could not defeat Lv Bu without sending troops, so he sent thousands of armored soldiers.
Yuan Shao's abnormal behavior aroused Lv Bu's suspicion. So Lv Bu ordered him to play a kite in the tent and escaped quietly. In the middle of the night, Yuan Shao went out, but failed to kill Lv Bu. Yuan Shao made people close the gate, but it was too late, and Lv Bu had already defected to Zhang Yang.
Knowing that Lv Bu was going to surrender to Zhang Yang, Yuan Shao led the army to pursue him and wrote a letter to Zhang Yang, ordering him to kill Lv Bu. Zhang Yang and Lv Bu had no grudge and couldn't bear to hurt, so they handed Yuan Shao's letter to Lv Bu.
Lv Bu did not dare to stay for a long time when he saw the letter, so he abandoned Zhang Yang to vote for Zhang Mi. At this time, Chen Gong came to join Zhang Mio because he persuaded Cao Cao to retreat.
Chen Gong said to Zhang Mio, "Today, the world is collapsing and heroes rise together. Isn't it a pity that the Ming soldiers are widely controlled by others? Now Cao Cao's expedition to the east, Yanzhou is empty, and Lv Fengxian is the current warrior in the world. If he takes Yanzhou with him, hegemony can be promoted.
Zhang Mi was overjoyed to hear the words, so he made Lv Bu attack Yanzhou and occupy Puyang. Only three places in Yuncheng, Dong'a and Fan County were designed and defended by Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to be preserved, and the rest of the counties were destroyed. Cao's army fought many times and could not win, so we sent people here to make an emergency.
After hearing this, Cao Cao and the generals were shocked and said, "There is a loss in Yanzhou. We are homeless. We should come back to rescue as soon as possible!"
Xun You said, "Master Guanghua really has the ability to predict. The Lord is fair and sells his personal feelings with the mage and Liu Bei, and then retreats to save Yanzhou."
Cao Cao thought so. At that time, he wrote a reply and ordered people to invite Nanye. Originally, Nan Ye thought that Cao Cao would have to discuss for a day or two, but he didn't expect to write a reply so soon and agree to retreat.
Nan Ye couldn't see anything from Cao Cao's face, but he could see anxiety from the Xiahou brothers's face. At that time, Nanye guessed that the situation in Yanzhou was probably not good, so he said, "Meng De doesn't have to worry too much. Lv Fengxian is brave and resourceless, and he is by no means Meng De's opponent. I wish Meng De a victory."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "The mage knew that Lv Bu had attacked me in Yanzhou. Why didn't he tell me?"
Of course, Nan Ye can't say that he is familiar with history, but can only fool him: "I also recently learned about Lv Bu's abnormal movements that he will be unfavorable to Meng De, and I'm not very sure. Now it seems that Lv Bu is ambitious, and Meng De is better to return as soon as possible.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "The mage really expected things like a god. Regret that if you don't listen to the mage's words, it's difficult today. There is still one thing to ask the mage to agree.
Nan Ye asked, "Meng De, please speak."
Cao Cao said, "Please don't inform Tao Qian and others in the city about Lv Bu's attack, otherwise I will die."
Nan Ye understood that Cao Cao was afraid of the enemy on both sides, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Meng De. I have already said that the two will not help each other, and I just hope that the two families will fight early. Now that Meng De is on strike, I will definitely not let Tao Gongzu chase after him.
Cao Cao got up and saluted, "Thank you for your help!"
After returning the gift, Nanye took Cao Cao's letter back to the city. Cao Cao's account and Wu looked at Nan Ye's back and secretly picked up his big fingers. Xun You said, "The mage is a true and righteous man! I don't have time!" Everyone nodded one after hearing the words and withdrew from the village on the same day.
Nan Ye returned to the city to see Tao Qian and presented Cao Cao's letter of congratulations: "Congratulations on Tao Gong. Ye is lucky not to humiliate his life. Cao Cao has retired!"
Tao Qian was overjoyed when he heard the words. He read the letter first and went to the city to watch. Seeing that Cao Cao really retreated, he quickly sent people to invite Kong Rong and Tian Kai to the city for a banquet.
Everyone gathered together to say happy to Tao Qian. Tao Qian thanked the people one by one and said to everyone, "Today, Cao Cao withdrew from the army thanks to the rescue of the princes. If the princes hadn't led the troops, the mage would have been in danger! Please be worshipped by the old man."
Seeing Tao Qian bowing and bowing, everyone was busy and dared not. After three rounds of drinking, Tao Qian invited Liu Bei to sit down and bowed to the crowd: "I am old, my two sons are not talented, and I can't bear the heavy responsibility of the country. Duke Liu is the emperor's family, and his virtue and talent are high, and he can lead Xuzhou. I would rather beg for leisure to recover from illness.
Liu Bei was even more embarrassed to see Tao Qian in advance in front of everyone. He quickly got up and said, "Kong Beihai ordered to come to save Xuzhou for the good. Now there is no reason, and the world will be prepared for the unrighteous.
The two counselors, Mizhu and Chen Deng, knew Tao Qian's thoughts and looked forward to Liu Bei taking over Xuzhou. However, the reasons for the two are a little different.
Mi Zhu followed Nan Ye all the way to see his ability and received great courtesy, and he had the intention to follow Nan Ye. However, it is not easy to change jobs these days. Maybe it will be the end of ten thousand years. Mi Zhu can't abandon his old master Tao Qian and go to Nanye for no reason. If Liu Bei enters Xuzhou, he will have an opportunity to break away from Tao Qian and choose again. No one will say that he is behind his master to seek glory.
Chen Deng has a higher IQ and is more ambitious than Mi Zhu. Although he agrees with Nan Ye's strength, he does not agree with Nan Ye's approach. Chen Deng came from an official eunuch family, and he despised Mi Zhu, who came from a businessman. Therefore, Nanye's closeness to Mizhu made Chen Deng a little uncomfortable, and he also thought that Nanye lacked ambition. Obviously, he was strong but had no desire to compete for hegemony. Instead, he was willing to mediate the war for the envoy. This made Chen Deng feel that he had no future with Nan Ye. So he focused on the position of the first counselor under Liu Bei's account. If Liu Bei enters Xuzhou, Chen Deng believes that he must be the chief military advisor. At that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two tens of thousands of enemies, plus his wisdom and Liu Bei's Han clan identity, it is not difficult to unify the world.
Although these two people have different thoughts, they both hope that Liu Bei can enter Xuzhou. When Mi Zhu saw Liu Bei's excuse, he advised him, "Now that the Han Dynasty is declining, the people are hanging upside down and making contributions. Xuzhou Yinfu, with a household registration of one million, is under the territory of Xuande. He can be reported to the king, and he can't resign.
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I will never dare to respond to this matter!"
Chen Deng pushed aside and said, "The lord is sick and can't see things. Don't say goodbye."
Liu Bei said, "It is difficult to follow the lack of talent and morality. Guanghua mage is famous all over the world, and the people respect him. Why not give it to state affairs?
Nanye didn't expect Liu Bei to be his own shield, so he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No! No! The poor people in the world have come to Jiaozhou to avoid chaos. How can I abandon it and ignore the director of Xuzhou? Since Tao Gongyi belongs to Xuande, Xuande should not refuse. Although Nan Ye said so, he slandered in his heart, "If Tao Qian was willing to give Xuzhou to me long ago, would he still need you to give way?"
When Liu Bei saw Nan Ye, he said, "The fourth generation and three princes of Yuan Highway returned from the sea. It's close to Shouchun. Why don't you give it to the state?"
Kong Rong said, "What's the matter with the dead bones in the tomb of Yuan Highway? Today's things are not taken by heaven, and regret cannot be pursued.
When Tao Qian saw Liu Bei sticking to his own opinion, he cried and said, "If Xuande leaves for me, Xuzhou will not be guaranteed, and I will not close my eyes!"
Guan Yu felt that Liu Bei had repeatedly refused, so he advised Liu Bei, "Since Mr. Tao has given way, it's better for my brother to temporarily replace the state affairs and let Mr. Tao be the director when Mr. Tao is healthy."
Zhang Feize said, "It's not that we want his state and county. He made good intentions. Why bother to refuse?"
It's not that Liu Bei doesn't want Xuzhou, but he is worried that he can't stand morally. Besides, he is not the only one who came to save Xuzhou this time. If he swallows the interests of Xuzhou alone, will the three families be happy? Nan Ye and Kong Rong don't care for the time being, but Tian Kai's face is not very good at this time.
After thinking about it, Liu Bei still insisted on not taking it. He blamed Guan and Zhang and said, "Don't wait for more words, or you will trap me in injustice."
Tao Qian gave in again and again. Seeing Liu Bei's determination, he said, "If Xuande refuses to obey, please ask Xuande to temporarily garrison Xiaopei to protect Xuzhou's peace?"
When everyone heard the words, they advised Liu Bei to station Xiaopei, and Liu Bei had to obey. The next day, Tao Qian's army was finished, and Kong Rong and Tian Kai respectively led the army back. Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang Er will lead their troops to Xiaopei, repair the city walls and comfort the residents. Nan Ye saw this and wanted to go back to Jiaozhou, but something happened in the north, which made him unable to return to the south.
