Chapter 167 Soldiers approaching the city(1/2)

In September, the weather in Hebei has turned colder.

At the General's Mansion in Yecheng, Tian Feng walked out angrily and met Xun Chen getting out of the car.

"Why did Youruo come here?"

Tian Feng stopped and couldn't help but stop Xun Chen and asked.

Xun Chen sighed, "Isn't it because of Meng Yan's business? Ji Bi has been here in Yecheng for more than ten days, and Duke Ming has not made a decision for a long time, so I can't help but feel a little anxious."

Tian Feng looked at Xun Chen with complicated eyes and said softly: "If you treat the emperor, do your best."

When Xun Chen heard this, his heart skipped a beat, "What does Yuan Hao mean?"

"It's not interesting, I just want to say that if Youyou want your lord to send troops to help the emperor, please forget it."

After Tian Feng said that, he sighed lightly.

Xun Chen was puzzled and said, "Yuan Hao, why should I forget it? Now Cao Cao is expeditioning the east, Xu Du has empty troops. Ming Gongzheng can take this opportunity to go south to Dahe, and go straight to Xu Du, welcome the emperor to return to Ye. From then on, he will be justified and fight against the rebels. Could it be that Ming Gong is not willing?"

Tian Feng said: "Before Gongsun was destroyed, the lord may not be interested in looking south.

When I heard that Gongsun Zan borrowed troops from Heishan, the lord was worried that there would be recurrence, so he decided to destroy Gongsun first and then take the Central Plains... Although I argued with reason, the lord had decided. He had ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to be the vanguard, and Zhang He Gaolan followed the army to obey Yijing."

"You mean, Gongsun Zan colluded with Zhang Yan?"

“That’s right!”

Xun Chen suddenly felt a sense of laughter and crying, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.

"Why did Gong Ming lose his big because of small things?"

Gongsun Zan, whose courtesy name was Bogui, was from Lingzhi, Liaoxi. He was born in Shu Zuo and studied under Lu Zhi.

This is a person who was promoted by his own talent. He is also known for his tough attitude to fight against the Xianbei of the Northern Huns. He fought bravely and famously, and was named General Baima. He thought that at the beginning, he and Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, were incompatible with their documents, so he conquered each other. Gongsun Zan defeated the majority with fewer documents. After he eliminated Liu Yu, he held the court at that time hostage. He was authorized by the governor of the four northern states and assigned the governor of the four states, becoming the most powerful princes in the north. Even in the early days of his fight with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan also had an absolute advantage.

But because of his own reasons, after the Battle of Jieqiao, he gradually lost the trust of his troops and was defeated by Yuan Shao.

At the beginning of the third year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao once sent a letter to Gongsun Zan, hoping to reconcile with him, but Gongsun Zan did not reply, but instead increased his troops and strengthened his garrison.

So, Yuan Shao sent troops to conquer.

Once, a distant general under Gongsun Zan was surrounded, but Gongsun Zan refused to save him. He also said: Save one person, then everyone will only wait for reinforcements and refuse to fight hard. When Yuan Shao came to attack, Gongsun Zan's border bridge camp could not save himself, and Gongsun Zan might not be willing to save him, so they surrendered one after another. So when Yuan Shao's troops arrived outside Yijing, Gongsun Zan sent his son Gongsun Xu to ask for help from the bandits in Heishan.

To be honest, not to mention that Liu Chuang didn’t understand Gongsun Zan’s explanation when he heard it, even Xun Chen felt it was inexplicable.

Sending troops to rescue one's own people will cause everyone to refuse to fight hard?

What's the point of this!

In Xun Chen's opinion, Gongsun Zan is now like a turtle in a jar, and it is impossible for him to pose too much threat to Yuan Shao.

The person who can truly threaten Yuan Shao is Cao Cao of Xu Du... In the future, his son-in-law may also pose a threat to Yuan Shao, but at present, Yuan Shao's biggest enemy is Cao Cao. Cao Cao is not in Xu Du now, and he is trying his best to conquer Lu Bu. What a good opportunity to do his best to conquer Lu Bu?

Yuan Shao actually gave up such an opportunity and wanted to eliminate Gongsun Zan.

Well, even if Gongsun Zan gets the help of Zhang Yan, he will be able to make a fuss and turn a fuss? If he really had this ability, he would not end up now. Gongsun Zan's courage and toughness were highly praised by Xun Chen, but his pattern and demeanor were not favored by Xun Chen.

Tian Feng also looked helpless and smiled bitterly.

Xun Chen knew that Tian Feng must have had an argument with Yuan Shao over this matter.

"Yuan Hao, aren't you quite dislike Meng Yan?"

Xun Chen's heart moved and couldn't help asking.

Tian Feng glared at Xun Chen, "You said I was arguing with my lord because of your son-in-law? Youruo, I really don't like your son-in-law. Although he deliberately hid it, I know that he is not a boy willing to surrender. His ambition is great. If he was born ten years ago, he would have to become a hero. I don't like people like him. The reason why I advised my lord to go south was because Cao Cao made me even more afraid."

Xun Chen, laughed.

Tian Feng's attitude towards Liu Chuang was revealed since he returned to Yecheng.

Although he had never said bad things about Liu Chuang on the scene, he privately stopped Yuan Shao from giving Liu Chuang a reward many times.

In his words, "The emperor's uncle is only young and is already a Marquis of Guanting and General Yang Wu.

If you reward it again, it may be difficult to convince the public. The lord intends to repay the ethics of Zhongling Hou back then, so why not give him more money? Anyway, he likes money, so he can just let him stay in Beihai and restrain Cao Cao. When he makes another contribution in the future, it will be no longer too late to give him a reward."

Tian Feng is not a fool. He knows very well that if he criticizes Liu Chuang, he will cause so much trouble.

Not to mention that the Yingchuan people would not agree, it is quite a headache just because of Liu Chuang’s son of Zhongling Marquis and the uncle of the Han Dynasty.

Not to mention that Liu Chuang made paper and edited books, and famous scholars from the Beihai Kingdom gathered, and Zheng Xuan supported him.

If Tian Feng dares to criticize Liu Chuang rashly, he may cause trouble... In addition, he and Liu Tao had more or less a passionate relationship, Tian Feng would not be able to kill Liu Chuang. However, necessary suppression and restraint cannot be missing, which is a matter of principle.

Xun Chen did not care about Tian Feng's words, but laughed.

"When I left, I reminded Meng Yan to ask him to make friends with Yuan Hao. Guess what he said?"

“How to say it?”

Tian Feng couldn't help but be curious and couldn't help asking.

"Meng Yan said that around Ming Gong, Yuan Hao is upright, and Duke and Duoshi are both independent people.

No one can persuade people like Yuanhao before big troubles, so it would be counterproductive to rely on small favors to win over them."

Tian Feng's gray and white beard shook slightly. Although his face was as normal, Xun Chen could feel the joy in his heart.

"Your child is smart. If he really dares to win over me, I will be in trouble with him.

Okay, don’t think too much. It’s hard for the lord to change his mind. If you really want to help your son-in-law, you might as well take a walk through the third son. I know, the third son appreciates your son-in-law very much. As long as he is willing to help, I think it can relieve the pressure on your son-in-law.

Also, don’t stay in Yecheng anymore, hurry up and take your post.

If you stay here for one more day, you will be more gossiping... I know you are worried about your son-in-law, but you have to do what you can."

After saying that, Tian Feng boarded the carriage.

Looking at Tian Feng's Chezhang's back as he left, Xun Chen thought for a moment, suddenly smiled, turned around and left.

He did not go to find Yuan Shao anymore, but got on the carriage directly.

Tian Feng said it right. If Liu Chuang wants to achieve great things, he always has to go through some hardships... If he can't even get through this level, what's the big deal?

He has been stranded in Yecheng for a long time and should set off for his post.

However, Xun Chen never expected that Liu Chuang would fall into danger.

Not to mention Xun Chen did not expect Zang Ba’s rebellion, even Lu Bu, was shocked when he learned about Zang Ba’s surrender.

"Well, Meng Yan is good now?"

"Fortunately, the emperor's uncle had made arrangements and realized Cao Cao's trap in advance. He led his troops to break through the siege the day before yesterday, and now he is stationed in Liangcheng."

Lu Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment, he suddenly drew his sword and cut off the table: "Xuan Gao deserves to die, how dare he carry me."

Chen Gong said: "June, the situation is not very good now.

Cao Cao had nearly 100,000 troops at the city, and Pengcheng might be difficult to defend. If Cao Cao's troops were facing Xia Pi, I had a plan to retreat to Cao Cao. The king and the cavalry were unparalleled in the world and no one could compete with him. Once Cao Cao arrived in Xia Pi, please lead the iron cavalry to guard the outside of the city and I would like to defend the city.

If Cao Cao attacks the city, the king and the lord attack from behind; if Cao Cao attacks the king and the lord, I will go out of the city to attack the city, so that the head and tail cannot be taken into account.

In late autumn, Cao Cao may not be able to hold on for long. It only takes a few months. When Cao Cao's food is exhausted, it will be difficult to hold on anymore, so he will naturally withdraw his troops."

When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Chen Gong's plan sounds good, but...

"Public platform, I think twice about this.

But what should Meng Yan do to stay in Liangcheng now?"

Chen Gong was about to speak when he heard a small school outside saying, "Junhou, the uncle Liangcheng came to Xiapi in person to ask for him."

"Meng Yan is here?"

Lu Bu was overjoyed and quickly got up and walked out.

Chen Gong followed Lu Bu and came to the gate of the royal city together.

From a distance, I saw Liu Chuang's Kuishuo figure, which was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

Lu Bu quickly took a few steps and said loudly: "Meng Yan, are you safe? I heard that Cao Cao designed to frame you and was about to send troops to rescue him."

Liu Chuang also hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and bowed to Lu Bu.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is in peace.

How could Cao's thieves destroy my life? Now I have stationed in Liangcheng, but Li Dian, Zhu Ling and Zangba have joined forces, and Liu Bei is eyeing him on the banks of the Yi River. Nearly 50,000 Cao's troops are stationed at the foot of Suyang Mountain. I am about to discuss with my father-in-law how to retreat to the enemy."

Lu Bu was not polite either and led Liu into the royal city to discuss matters.

"Just just now, the official station offered advice and said that we should cooperate with us inside and outside, delay Cao's army and ordered him to retreat.

I don’t know what Meng Yan thought?”

Liu Chuang was stunned and glanced at Chen Gong.

The inertia of history is indeed the case. Chen Gong has offered the same strategy as in history.

According to historical records, Lu Bu was finally dissuaded by Mrs. Yan and did not adopt Chen Gong's plan. Liu Chuang refused to comment on this.

People say that Lu Bu was defeated by a woman, but in fact, in Liu Chuang's opinion, this is not the case.
