Chapter 23 Chapter 22: Yuan and Cao each set out on horseback, the three armies pass through Zhang and capture the second general Liu, the king.

But Chen Deng offered advice to Xuande and said: Yuan Shao is the one Cao Cao fears.Shaohu occupies Ji, Qi, You, and all counties, with millions of armour, and there are many civil servants and military generals. Why don't you write a book and send people there to ask for help?Xuande said: "Shao Xiang and I have not been in touch with each other, and now he has broken his younger brother, can you help me?"Deng said: "There is a person here who is in the same family as Yuan Shao III."If you get a letter to Shao, Shao will come to help.Xuande asked who it was.Deng said: "This person is the one who paid respects on fair day. Why forget it?"Xuande said fiercely, "is it Mr. Zheng Kangcheng?"Deng laughed and said, "Of course."

It turned out that Zheng Kang became famous as Xuan, studious and talented, and learned his career from Ma Rong.Whenever Rong gives lectures, he must set up a crimson tent, gather students in the front, prostitutes in the back, and maids surround him.Xuan has been listening to the lecture for three years, and he doesn't look at him wrongly, which is very strange.When he returned after learning, Rong sighed and said: "The only one who knows the secret of my learning is Zheng Xuan!"All the servants and servants in the Xuan family know "Mao Poems".A servant girl tasted disobedience to Xuan, and Xuan Mingchang knelt down in front of the steps.A servant girl jokingly said: "Hu is in the mud?"The servant girl responded and said: "If you talk thinly, you will be angry with him."It's so elegant.In the reign of Emperor Huan, Xuanguan came to Shangshu.Later, due to the rebellion of the ten permanent servants, he abandoned his official position and returned to the field, and lived in Xuzhou.When Xuande was in Zhuojun, he had already taught him.And as a shepherd in Xuzhou, he always builds a hut to ask for teaching, and he pays special respects.

When Xuande thought of this person, he was overjoyed and went to Zheng Xuan's home with Chen Deng to ask him to write a book.Xuan generously agreed, wrote a letter, and paid it to Xuande.Xuande sent Sun Qianxingye to deliver it to Yuan Shao.After reading Shao, he thought to himself: "Xuande attacked and destroyed my brother, so it's not appropriate to help him; but because of Zheng Shangshu's order, he had to save him."So the civil and military officials gathered together to discuss how to launch an army to attack Cao Cao.Tian Feng, a counselor, said: "The army has been rising for years, the people are exhausted, and the warehouses have no reserves. It is impossible to revive the army."It is advisable to send someone in advance to offer Jie Jie to the Son of Heaven. If it fails, it will be said that Cao Cao is separated from our king's road, and then he raises troops to garrison Liyang.In three years, major events can be decided.The counselor Shen Pei said: Otherwise: with the martial arts of Duke Ming and the power of Fuheshuo, it is easy to raise troops to attack Cao's bandits. Why delay the sun and the moon?Ju Shou, a counselor, said: The strategy to win is not to be strong.Cao Cao's laws and decrees are well executed, and his soldiers are refined, which is different from Gongsun Zan's besieged ones.Now abandon the good strategy of offering victories, and promote unknown soldiers, who will not be stolen by the Duke of Ming.Counselor Guo Tu said: No, it is not true: Cao Cao is added to the army, is it called nameless?Justice should be done in time and early.I would like to follow the words of Zheng Shangshu, fight for righteousness with Liu Bei, and wipe out the Cao bandits; it is very fortunate that it is in line with God's will and the people's sentiments in the bottom!The four debated undecided, and Shao hesitated.Suddenly Xu You and Xun Chen came in from the outside.The edict said: "The two of you are very knowledgeable, let's see how to advocate."After the two saluted, Shao said: "Zheng Shangshu has a letter, let me raise troops to help Liu Bei and attack Cao Cao."Do you want to raise troops?Don't you want to fight?The two responded in unison, saying: "The Duke of Ming used the crowd to conquer the few, the strong to attack the weak, and the Han thieves to help the royal family: it is also true to raise troops."Shao said: "What the two of you see is exactly what I want."They discussed raising troops.First ordered Sun Qian to return to Zheng Xuan, and asked Xuande to prepare to meet him; on the one hand, he ordered Shenpei and Fengji to lead the army, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Xu You were counselors, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were generals, with 150,000 horsemen and 100 infantry Fifty thousand, a total of 300,000 elite soldiers, hope Liyang will advance.The allocation has been decided, and Guo Tujin said: "To punish Cao Cao with the righteousness of the Ming Dynasty, we must count the evils of Cao Cao, and go to all counties to denounce the crimes, and then the name will be justified."Shao followed it, and then ordered the secretary Chen Lincao to call out.Lin, styled Kongzhang, was famous for her talent; when Emperor Ling was the master, He Jin refused to listen to his remonstrance, and was rebelled by Dong Zhuo, so he took refuge in Jizhou, and Shao used it as a record room.At the moment, he is ordered to call out the cursive call, and the pen will be done immediately.The text says:

Gai Wenming's main plan is to control change by danger, and loyal ministers worry that it will be difficult to establish power.Therefore, there are extraordinary people, and then there are extraordinary things; there are extraordinary things, and then extraordinary achievements are made.If the husband is very special, it is solidly not what people want to do. In the past, the strong Qin and the weak ruler, Zhao Gao held the handle, dictatorship of the court, and the prestige was his own;In the second year of the Empress Lv, the dictatorship of production and salary, concurrently with the two armies inside, and the control of Liang and Zhao outside;So Jianghou and Zhu Xu raised their troops to be angry, punished the barbarians and rebelled against violence, and respected Taizong; so the king's way was prosperous, and the light was clearly integrated: this is a clear example of the minister's establishment of power.

Sikong Cao Cao: Grandfather Zhongchang Shiteng, together with Zuo Gui and Xu Huang, was a monster, gluttonous and unbridled, hurting and abusing the people.Father Song begged and raised him, and assumed his position because of the stolen goods; he used gold and jade to transport goods to wealthy families;There is no virtue in the superfluous eunuchs and the ugliness; The shogunate ⑤ Dong Tong Yingyang, sweeping away the evil.After encountering Dong Zhuo again, he invaded the government and tyrannized the country, so he raised his sword and waved his drum, and ordered Dong Xia to recruit heroes and discard their flaws to make use of them.Therefore, he conspired with Cao Tongzhi and awarded him a beneficiary teacher; he was said to be talented as a falcon and dog, and he could serve as a minion.It is even foolish and short-sighted, advances lightly and retreats easily; hurts the barbarians and breaks the waist, and loses many masters and apprentices.The shogunate re-divided the troops and ordered them to be sharp, and after finishing the supplementary series, he was awarded the prestige of the Yanzhou governor in the east of the county, and was rewarded with the prestige of the Qin division ⑥.But Cao Sui inherited capital and domineering, acted violently, cut and stripped Yuan Yuan, disabled the virtuous and harmed the good.

Therefore, Jiujiang Taishou Bianrang: He is talented and magnificent, and is well-known in the world; he speaks honestly and honestly, but he is not flattering;Naturally, Shilin was angry and bitter, and the people complained more and more; one man fought hard, and the whole state was in unison.Therefore, the bow was broken by Xu Fang, and the land was seized by Lu Bu;The shogunate only has the righteousness of strong stems and weak branches, and does not belong to the party of traitors, so it restores support and sweeps up the campaign.The golden drum resounded, and the crowd rushed to Ju.Save him from the danger of death and restore him to the position of uncle.Then the shogunate has no virtue for the people of Yantu, but great achievements are made by Cao.

After Huiluan drove back to Xi, a group of captives attacked.At that time, there were policemen from Beibei in Jizhou, and the bandits left the bureau. Therefore, Xu Xun, the middle man, was dispatched to repair the suburban temple and guard the young master.Cao then set his ambitions: specialize in threats and relocations, and be subject to provincial bans; humiliate the royal family, break the law and violate discipline; sit in the three seats, and rule the government; honor rewards from the heart, and punish them with the mouth; love five things, and hate them Three ethnic groups; those who talk in groups are punished by the public, and those who discuss in the belly are slaughtered in secret;

Therefore, Taiwei Yang Biao: the second division of Dianli ⑦ enjoys the highest position in the country.Because of the fate, the canthus is not a crime; the list of Chu and ginseng is merged, and the five poisons are prepared; the emotion is free, regardless of the constitution.Also Yilang Zhao Yan: loyal advice and blunt words, righteousness can be accepted, so he listened to it in the Holy Dynasty, changed his appearance and decorated it.Desire to confuse the time, put an end to the way of speaking, kill without permission, and don't wait for the news.And Liang Xiaowang: the mother of the first emperor, Kun ⑧, the tomb is respectful;It made the holy court shed tears, and the scholars and people were sad!

Cao also specially set up General Faqiu Zhonglang and Lieutenant Touching Gold, and all the bones of his past were exposed.Being in the position of the Three Lords, but acting like a gangster, polluting the country and harming the people, poisoning people and ghosts!In addition, the fine government is cruel and harsh, and science and defense are intertwined;According to historical records, ministers without morality, greedy and cruel, why do you want to do it! The shogunate questioned foreign traitors, but it was not enough for training; Jiaxu contained tolerance, hoping to bridge the cracks.But with the wolf's ambition and hidden conspiracy, he wants to destroy the pillars, isolate and weaken the Han family, eliminate loyalty and righteousness, and become a hero.In the past, Gongsun Zan was beaten to the north to conquer Gongsun Zan, and he refused to besiege him for a year.Because it was not broken, Cao wrote his orders in the dark, helped the king's teacher externally, and concealed the attack internally.Meeting his pedestrians ⑨ to show off, Zan is also a barbarian, so the edge is shrunk, and Jue's plan fails.

Today, the settlement is based in Aocang, and the river is blocked for solidity. It is planned to use the ax of the praying mantis to drive the tunnel of the Long chariot.The shogunate honors the majesty of the Han Dynasty and rushes to the universe; there are millions of halberds and thousands of horses; The Yellow River is in front of it, and Jingzhou is in Xiawan, and Yeer is behind; if thunder shakes the tiger's steps, if it lifts the fire to fly the canopy, and covers the sea to fertilize the charcoal, what is there that will not be destroyed? He is also a military official, and those who can fight are all from You, Hebei, or the old camp.The rest of the people of Yan and Yu, as well as the rest of Lu Bu and Zhang Yang, were overthrown and threatened, and refused to follow the time of power;If you go back and turn back, climb up the high hill and beat the drums, and Yang Su will use it to open the way, it will collapse, and there will be no blood.

Today, the mausoleum of the Han Dynasty is late, and the outline and dimension are exhausted; there is no one in the holy dynasty, and there is no tendency to bend the arms; How can a tyrannical minister show his integrity? He also managed seven hundred elite soldiers in the trilogy, surrounded the palace, entrusted the guards outside, and was restrained inside, fearing his usurpation, so he did it because of it.This is the autumn of the loyal ministers' hearts and minds, and the meeting of the martyrs to make meritorious deeds is not to be missed! Cao also corrected his life and called it system, and sent envoys to send troops.I am afraid that in Yuanzhou and counties in the frontier, if you listen to and give, disobey the people and rebel, use the name of mourning, and make the world laugh, then wise and wise will not take it. The four prefectures of Riyou, Bing, Qi, and Ji advance side by side.When the book arrived in Jingzhou, he saw the soldiers and cooperated with General Jianzhong⑪.It is a great achievement to organize the righteous soldiers in the states and counties, to collect the state, to show off the power, and to improve the state. Whoever gets to be the leader will be granted the title of Marquis of 5,000 households and a reward of 50 million yuan.Don't ask any questions about those who are partial to the generals and school officials.Widely promulgate favors and trusts, reward Bunyan talismans, and announce to the world, so that the salty emissaries will know that the Holy Dynasty is in trouble.Such as laws and regulations. Shaolan Xi was overjoyed, and he ordered envoys to spread this Xi throughout the prefectures and counties, and hang it at Guanjin passes everywhere.When the call to arms spread to Xudu, Cao Cao suffered from a headache and was bedridden.Passed this message from left to right, Cao Cao saw it, his hair stood on end, he broke out in a cold sweat, his head suddenly healed, he jumped up from the bed, Gu Wei Cao Hong said: Who made this call?Hong said: "I heard it was written by Chen Lin."Cao laughed and said: "Those who have literary affairs must use martial arts to help them."Although Chen Lin's literary work is good, it's not as good as Yuan Shao's military strategy!So they gathered all the counselors to discuss how to meet the enemy. When Kong Rong heard about it, he came to see Cao Cao and said: "Yuan Shao is so powerful that he cannot fight with him, but can only make peace with him."Xun Yu said: "Yuan Shao is useless, why bother to discuss peace?"Rong said: "Yuan Shao has a vast land and a strong people."His subordinates such as Xu You, Guo Tu, Shen Pei, and Feng Ji are all resourceful men; Tian Feng and Ju Shou are all loyal ministers; Human?Yu said with a smile, "Shao's soldiers are too many and not organized."Tian Fenggang commits crimes, Xu You is greedy but not wise, trial and match is dedicated but not scheming, and he is useless when he meets discipline and results. These people are incompatible with each other, and internal changes are bound to occur.Yan Liang and Wen Chou are brave men who can be captured in a single battle.The rest of the generation, even if there are millions, is nothing!Kong Rong was silent.Cao laughed and said: "It's not what Xun Wenruo expected."Then Liu Dai, the former army, and Wang Zhong, the rear army, were called to lead 50,000 troops to attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou under the banner of the prime minister.It turned out that Liu Dai used to be the governor of Yanzhou; when Cao Cao took Yanzhou, Dai surrendered to Cao, and Cao was used as a partial general, so he was sent to lead the army with Wang Zhong.Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 troops into Liyang to reject Yuan Shao.Cheng Yu said: "I'm afraid Liu Dai and Wang Zhong won't call me envoys."Cao said: "I also know that Liu Bei's opponent is not Liu Bei's opponent, and he has the power to bluff."Distribution: Do not enter lightly.Wait for me to break the introduction, and then rein in the troops.Liu Dai and Wang Zhong led the troops to go. Cao Cao led his troops to Liyang.The two armies were separated by eighty miles, each with deep trenches and high fortifications, and they did not fight each other.From August to October.It turned out that Xu You was not happy to be appointed as the leader of the army, and Ju Shou hated Shao for not using his strategy.Yuan Shao was suspicious and did not want to enter the army.Cao Nai called Lü Bu to send Zang Ba to guard Qi and Xu; Yu Jin and Li Dian stationed troops on the river; Governor Cao Ren's army stationed at Guandu.Cao self-introduced an army and went back to Xudu. Let's say that Liu Dai and Wang Zhong led an army of 50,000, and went to the village a hundred miles away from Xuzhou.The Chinese army pretended to be Prime Minister Cao's banner, but did not dare to enter the army, but only inquired about news from Hebei.Here, Xuande didn't know Cao Cao's reality, so he didn't dare to act arbitrarily, and only inquired about Hebei.Suddenly Cao Cao sent someone to urge Liu Dai and Wang Zhong to fight.The two discussed in the village.Dai said: "The prime minister urged to attack the city, you can go first."Wang Zhong said: "The prime minister will send you first."Dai said: "I am the chief general, how can I go first?"Zhong said: "I will lead the soldiers with you."Dai said, "I'll cast lots with you, and the one who wins will go."Wang Zhong picked up the first words and only scored half of the army and horses to attack Xuzhou.When Xuande heard that the army and horses were coming, he asked Chen Deng to discuss, saying: "Although Yuan Benchu ​​stationed troops in Liyang, the Nai counselors were at odds and had not yet made progress."Cao Cao didn't know where he was.Wen Liyang's army doesn't have a banner, so how can there be his banner here?Deng said: "With all kinds of tricks, Hebei must be the most important thing, and I will supervise it personally, but I deliberately don't build a banner."My intention is not here.Xuande said: "Which of the two younger brothers can inquire about the truth?"Zhang Fei said: "My brother is willing to go."Xuande said: "You are violent, you can't go."Fei said: "Even if there is Cao Cao, he will take the future!"Yun Chang said, "Waiting for my brother to watch his movements."Xuande said: "If Yun Chang goes away, I don't worry."So Yun Chang led three thousand people out of Xuzhou. It was early winter, the clouds were overcast, the snowflakes were fluttering, and the soldiers and horses were all deployed in the snow.Yun Chang suddenly came out with a knife in his hand, and shouted at Wang Zhong to call.Zhong said: "The prime minister is here, why doesn't he surrender?"Yun Chang said: "The Prime Minister is invited to go out, I have something to say."Zhong said: How can the prime minister be willing to take you lightly!Yun Chang was furious, and suddenly moved forward.Wang Zhong greeted him with a gun.When the two horses met, Yun Chang pulled the horse away.Wang Zhong rushed over, turned around the hillside, Yun Chang returned to his horse, yelled, and swung his knife straight at him.Wang Zhong couldn't stop him, and just when the horse ran away suddenly, Yun Chang held the treasured sword upside down in his left hand, and grabbed Wang Zhong's armor belt with his right hand, dragged the saddle off the saddle, put it across the horse, and returned to the formation.Wang Zhongjun ran around.Yun Chang escorted Wang Zhong and returned to Xuzhou to see Xuande.Xuande asked, "Who is Er?"What job do you see?How dare you pretend to be Prime Minister Cao!Zhong said: How dare you cheat?I was ordered to teach me to bluff and think that I was a suspicious soldier.The prime minister is not here.Xuande taught him to pay for clothes, wine and food, and was temporarily imprisoned. After Liu Dai was arrested, he would discuss it again.Yun Chang said: "A certain brother wanted to reconcile, so he captured the future alive."Xuande said: "I am afraid that Yide will be violent and kill Wang Zhong, so I will not teach him away."It is useless to kill such people, and leave it as a place for reconciliation.Zhang Fei said: "Second brother has captured Wang Zhong, and I will capture Liu Dai alive!"Xuande said: "Liu Dai used to be the governor of Yanzhou. When Hulaoguan defeated Dong Zhuo, he was also a prince of a town."Today is the former army, and the enemy should not be underestimated.Fei said: "It's not enough to measure this generation!"I also think that the second brother will be captured alive in the future!Xuande said: "I'm afraid I'll ruin his life and miss my big business."Fei said: If you kill him, I will pay for his life!Xuande then joined the army of three thousand.Fei led the troops forward. But Liu Dai knew that Wang Zhong had been captured, so he couldn't hold out.Zhang Fei yells and scolds in front of the stronghold every day. When Dai hears that it is Zhang Fei, the more he dare not come out.Fei kept guard for several days, but seeing Dai not coming out, he came up with a plan: order to rob the stronghold at two o'clock tonight, but in the daytime he drank in the tent to pretend to be drunk. When we send troops tonight, we will sacrifice the flag in the future!But secretly sent left and right to go.The sergeant had to take off, sneak out of the camp, and went to Liu Dai's camp to report the robbery of the stronghold.Liu Dai saw that the soldiers were seriously injured, so he listened to what he said.That night, Zhang Fei divided his troops into three groups. In the middle, more than 30 people were sent to rob the village and set fire to it;At three o'clock, Zhang Fei led his elite soldiers to cut off Liu Dai's back route first; more than 30 people from the middle road rushed into the village and set fire to it.Liu Dai's ambush was just about to enter, and Zhang Fei's two soldiers came out together.Dai's army was in chaos. They didn't know how many flying soldiers were there, and they broke up.Liu Dai led a group of remnants of the army and ran away on the road. He bumped into Zhang Fei. They met on a narrow road, and it was difficult to avoid them;All the rest descended.Flying people first reported to Xuzhou.When Xuande heard about it, he called Yun Chang and said, "Yide was always rough and reckless, but now he uses his wisdom. I don't have to worry about it."He went out to welcome Guo himself.Fei said: Brother said I am irritable, how is today?Xuande said: "How can you be willing to use tricks if you don't use words to provoke each other?"Fei laughed. When Xuande saw Liu Dai tied up, he got off his horse in a panic and untied him, saying, "My little brother Zhang Fei committed blasphemy by mistake, and I hope to beg for forgiveness."Then he welcomed into Xuzhou, released Wang Zhong, and took care of him together.Xuande said: "Because the chariot wanted to harm the preparations, I had to kill it."The prime minister was wrongly suspected and prepared for rebellion, so he sent two generals to inquire about the crime.He has received great favor from the prime minister, and he is thinking of repaying him. How dare he turn against him?The second general came to Xudu, hoping for good words to prepare for the complaint, and it is fortunate for him to prepare.Liu Dai and Wang Zhong said: "The kindness of Shenhe's envoy not to kill him should be convenient for Yu Cheng to get along with, and the old and young of a certain family will protect the envoy.Xuande thanks.The next day, restore the leading horse and send it out to Guo Wai.Liu Dai and Wang Zhong were less than ten miles away, when a drum sounded, Zhang Fei blocked the way and yelled, "My brother really doesn't know!"How to catch the thief and let it go again?It made Liu Dai and Wang Zhong tremble on the horse.Zhang Fei rushed over with his guns open, and a Pegasus behind him yelled, "Don't be rude!"Depending on it, it is Yun Changye.Liu Dai and Wang Zhong were relieved.Yun Chang said: "Elder Brother Xi let you go, why doesn't my brother obey the law?"Fei said: "Let's let it go now, and come again next time."Yun Chang said: "When he comes again, it's not too late to kill him."Liu Dai and Wang Zhong resigned and said: "The prime minister will punish my three clans, and he will not come."I hope the general will forgive me.Fei said: "Even if Cao Cao came here, he would kill him and never return!"Now let's take note of the two heads!Liu Dai and Wang Zhong ran away with their heads in their arms. Yun Chang and Yide went back to Xuande and said, "Cao Cao must come back."Sun Qian said to Xuande: "Xuzhou is not allowed to live in the enemy's place for a long time; it is better to divide the troops to garrison Xiaopei and guard Picheng, so as to guard against Cao Cao."Xuande used his words to order Yunchang to guard Xiapi; Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi also settled in Xiapi. Mrs. Gan is from Xiaopei, and Mrs. Mi is the sister of Mi Zhu.Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang guarded Xuzhou.Xuande and Zhang Fei lived in Xiaopei.Liu Dai and Wang Zhong went back to see Cao Cao and stated that Liu Bei would not do anything against him.Cao scolded angrily: What's the use of keeping you, you humiliating countryman!He ordered to launch and cut it left and right.Exactly: How can dogs and hogs fight with tigers, fish and shrimps fight with dragons in vain.I don't know the fate of the two of them, let's listen to the breakdown below. ① To declare crimes to punish the other party's crimes, and to send troops to crusade. ② The defeat of Wangyi Wangyi, the name of Qin Palace.The second emperor of Qin favored Zhao Gao, the eunuch, and Zhao Gao was in charge of the power.Later, the second emperor was forced by him to commit suicide in Wangyi Palace. ③ Empress Lu Ji Nian Zhizun Taizong After Han Gaozu died, his wife Lu Hou continued to control the power.She sent her nephews Lu Chan and Lu Lu to lead the army and assist the government in order to seize the throne.The ministers Jianghou Zhou Bo and Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang joined forces to kill Lu Chan and others with a plan, and welcomed Liu Heng, the son of Han Gaozu, as emperor, who became Emperor Wen of Han.Taizong is the temple name of Emperor Wen. ④ Cao Teng, Zuo Qu, and Xu Huang were three eunuchs who exercised power during the Eastern Han Dynasty. ⑤ The shogunate originally refers to the place where the generals work, which is synonymous with Yuan Shao's self-proclaimed name. ⑥ When Qin Shiyi Kezhi reported to the Spring and Autumn Period, Meng Ming, a doctor of the Qin State, led the army and was defeated by the Jin State; but Qin Jun did not punish him. I hope he can repay him in the future.Later, he really defeated the state of Jin. ⑦ Yang Biao, Second Division of Dianli Yang Biao, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, served as a senior official such as Sikong and Situ, so he is said to be the second division of Dianli. ⑧Liu Wu, mother of the first emperor of Liang Xiaowang Kunliang Xiaowang Liu Wu, is the son of Emperor Wen of Han and the younger brother of Emperor Jing of Han.The first emperor refers to Emperor Jing.Mu Kun, meaning brother. ⑨ Pedestrian official name; a person who is sent to contact and negotiate with a certain mission. ⑩ Zhonghuang, Yu, Huo Zhonghuang, Xia Yu, and Wuhuo are all ancient warriors. ⑪ General Jianzhong refers to Zhang Xiu, the embroidery official, General Jianzhong; he was stationed in Wancheng at that time.
