Chapter 297(1/2)
In October of the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao accepted Xu You's plan and attacked Wuchao in surprise.
Historically, the defender guarding Wuchao was Chunyu Qiong. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong described Chunyu Qiong as a bag of wine, and Cao Cao almost easily captured the Yuan army camp. But in fact, it was not easy for Cao Cao to attack Wuchao. At that time, Chunyu Qiong defended Wuchao to death, and Yuan army approached behind Cao Cao, which made the situation of Cao army critical. Cao Cao ordered Cao army to attack Yuan army camp, and almost broke through Wuchao just the moment before Yuan's reinforcements arrived, setting fire to burn food and grass, causing chaos in the morale of the Yuan army, and ultimately made the battle successful.
Now, Chunyu Qiong has died in western Liaoning.
The garrison who succeeded Chunyu Qiong to guard Wuchao was named Lu Weihuang, and Xu You had the kindness of knowing him.
Therefore, when Xu You sent a letter to the camp, after careful consideration, Lu Weihuang raised an army to respond. Not only did he offer Wuchao, but he also contacted Zhao Rui, the Guzhou general, and joined forces with Cao Cao to ambush Han Juzi in Yanjin, winning a complete victory. Wuchao and Guzhou were defeated, and the Yuan army was in chaos. Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack Yuan's army, and attacked Yu Jinle and Xun You in front and behind, causing Yuan Shao to be defeated and left...
Yuan Shao's more than 100,000 troops were almost completely destroyed in Guandu.
Fortunately, Yuan Shang reacted in time and led his troops to support him. Yuan Shao broke through the siege under the protection of the 800 escalators, met with Yuan Shang, and retreated to the sour jujube.
The Battle of Guandu also came to an end!
After Yuan Shao was defeated, he gathered the remaining part in the sour jujube.
He still had tens of thousands of troops in Liyang, but the defeat was decided and Yuan Shao was no longer able to launch a counterattack.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Shao had no choice but to order his troops to retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River and to form a confrontation with Cao's army again.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tian Shi stood at the gate, and Liu Chuang's voice seemed to echo in his ears.
"Jiyan, I just received the news that Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu.
Ling Zun was opposed to Yuan Shao's troops and was sent to prison. Now it seems that Ling Zun is indeed foresighted, and his words come true in the end... Don't be too happy too early. In my opinion, Yuan Shao's defeat in the battle may not be a good thing for Ling Zun. With my understanding of Yuan Shao, if he wins, Ling Zun will have a glimmer of hope... Haha, if he wins, he will always show the attitude of a winner. But now he loses, and he loses miserably! The army of 100,000 is gone. With his nature, he may not be able to let Ling Zun go."
"Don't worry about the huge words. Now Yuan Shao is defeated. His momentum is no longer as good as before.
And I can hold Youzhou and join Cao Cao in the south, which is enough to resist Yuan Shao's counterattack. Although Yuan Benchu was confused, he was not a fool. He must be able to see the current situation. I am leading Youzhou. It is difficult to change, so I will talk to me sooner or later.
I can rescue Mr. Yuanhao... Don't look at me, I know Mr. Yuanhao is dissatisfied with me, and even more afraid.
But I believe that through this incident, he can see that Yuan Benchu is not a great man, and I also believe that he can make the right choice."
"Do me a favor and let the Zhen family belong to me..."
“Tell them that I can make their family prosperous.
Zhongshan is not big. There is no room for the three powerful families... Tell them that as long as they are willing to come to Youzhou, I will make them the largest wealthy in Youzhou within ten years."
Until he arrived at Wuji County, Tian Shi was still a little confused.
In the battle of western Liaoning, he was captured by Lu Bu and became a prisoner under the ranks. Then he was imprisoned in Linyu with Ju Hu, and in a blink of an eye, he had more than half of his life.
It is better to say it is house arrest than to say it is house arrest.
Liu Chuang threw Tian Shi and Ju Hu into an independent courtyard, surrounded by heavy troops.
Liu Chuang did not deduct any food, clothing and food. In some aspects, Liu Chuang almost followed the habits of the two.
For example, Juhu is good at geese, so there is a pond in the residence arranged by Liu Chuang, and white geese appear every day. Tian Shixi eats sheep tongue, and he thinks that the tongue of a suckling sheep is the most tender. Liu Chuang specially found a chef who is good at cooking sheep tongue in his diet.
From this we can see that Liu Chuang was right in the hands of his own and Ju Hu’s situation.
However, after being captured, Liu Chuang never persuaded him to surrender, nor arranged anyone to persuade him, which surprised Tian Shi and Ju Hu.
Half a month ago, Liu Chuang suddenly ordered someone to bring Tian Shi to Zhuo County.
Just the day before yesterday, he summoned Tian Shi and arranged a task for him.
Tian Shi didn't want to obey, but when he heard that Liu Chuang was willing to help him rescue Tian Feng, he couldn't help but be moved by it.
After that, he came to Wuji in a dizzy state. It was not until he reported it that he woke up... Tian Shi was very clever, and just as he was waiting for the news, he figured out Liu Chuang's intention. Liu Chuang wanted to plot against Zhongshan, so he persuaded Zhen to surrender?
Zhen is the basis of Yuan Xi’s money and food.
If Zhen did not support Yuan Xi, I think Yuan Xi would not be able to gain a foothold in Zhongshan at all.
In this way, he could advance with the flow and seek the Zhongshan Kingdom. The Duke and his uncle fought for a long time in Hejian. If Zhongshan was in trouble, they would inevitably return to rescue him, and the pressure on Yi County would be reduced. At that time, the previous arrangements of Duke and his uncle would be lost.
There are capable people around Liu Chuang!
This trick is indeed extremely powerful to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot...
When Tian Shi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
He vaguely felt that, as Liu Chuang said, Yuan Shao could not accomplish great things.
If Liu Chuang firmly settled in Youzhou, he would be a prince in the future. He could no longer establish a foothold under Yuan Shao's tent, so why should he be loyal to Yuan Shao again?
At this moment, a manager came out of the Zhen Mansion gate.
"Sir, my wife is invited."
Tian Shi immediately cheered up and smiled at the old manager, "Please lead the way."
Follow the trail and head straight to the back house.
However, when Tian Shi walked into the back house, he found a large cauldron built up in the yard, with firewood piled under the cauldron, and the fire was in full swing.
In the air, there was blue smoke.
Seeing this scene, Tian Shi understood Zhen’s intention, and immediately smiled and walked into the Mingtang without fear.
At this moment, he seemed to have restored his true nature as a strategist.
"In Shishi, a native of Julu, Jizhou, I pay homage to the old lady."
Tian Shi walked into the Mingtang and bowed his hand to report his name.
Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Tian Shi? Could it be Mr. Yuan Hao's son?"
"It's just that I don't know."
At this moment, the momentum that Mrs. Zhen had gathered dissipated a lot, and even Zhen Yao, who had previously stood behind Mrs. Zhen with a murderous look on his face, showed a look of surprise.
"Why did Mr. Tian come here? How could he walk with the thief who abducted my Xiao Mi?"
Anger appeared on Mrs. Zhen's face, but she still maintained a little restraint in her words.
This is the difference between a wealthy businessman and a famous scholar! Although the Zhen family is famous in Zhongshan Country, it is not very powerful. However, in front of famous scholars like Tian Feng, it is not worth mentioning. The Tian family is also a famous family in Jizhou, and perhaps the family property is not as rich as the Zhen family. But its influence is far from comparable to the Zhen family. Even if Tian Feng was thrown into prison by Yuan Shao, his reputation cannot be underestimated. Tian Shi is the son of Tian Feng, and even if Mrs. Zhen was angry, she had to suppress her anger and maintain some respect for Tian Shi. This is the power of a famous family!
Tian Shi said: "I don't know what Mrs. Zhen is doing.
I came here because I was entrusted by someone to bring a message to the old lady.”
The old lady's face cleared a little, she took a deep breath and asked, "I wonder who the young master was entrusted by and what words did she bring?"
"I was entrusted by Uncle Liu to persuade the old lady."
Uncle Liu?
The old lady's heart skipped a beat and a light flashed in her eyes.
How many people can be called Uncle Liu? Judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to guess what Tian Shi said, "Ucle Liu" is said.
Before the old lady could speak, Zhen Yao was furious.
"Oh, Tian Juyan, and after being a famous scholar, how dare you do such a thing?
Today, if you don’t hand over my little sister, don’t blame me for tearing you apart.”
Who is Tian Shi?
That's the guy who dares to go and lobby Lu Bu!
Zhen Yao had a ferocious face and was full of murderous aura. But in Tian Shi's opinion, it was not worth fearing.
This kid has never seen Mr. Lu Wen, nor has he seen Uncle Liu. I think I could talk to you in front of the tiger, but even under Feixiong's tent, I was not afraid. Do you think that this hideous look could scare me? If I was really afraid, I would not be Tian Juyan.
Tian Shi laughed, "How can we relieve our anger after we have broken up into pieces?
When I came in just now, there was a big cauldron outside the door. Why not throw me into it? Wouldn't it be more pleasant to cook and kill the third young master? But in this case, I'm afraid that your Zhen family will be in trouble. When the whole family is killed, the Wuji Zhen family's century-old powerful will be destroyed."
"I kill you!"
Zhen Yao was so angry that he drew his sword and was about to go forward, but Tian Shi stood there, but he remained motionless.
"Xiao Yao, retreat."
"Mother……"
"I want you to apologize to Mr. Ju Yan immediately. What kind of appearance is like is simply a disgrace to me, Zhen's style."
Zhen Yao's face turned pale and he stepped aside unwillingly.
The old lady looked at Tian Shi, and suddenly laughed after a while, "Young Master Juyan is worthy of being a descendant of a famous family, and her old body seems to have seen Mr. Yuan Hao."
OK, what advice does Uncle Liu have?"
The old lady never asked why Tian Shi assisted Liu Chuang. There is nothing worth asking about this kind of thing. Since Tian Shi was sent by Liu Chuang, he must have been surrendered to Liu Chuang. Now, she knows that Liu Chuang is the one who kidnapped Zhen Mi, so this matter is easier to deal with.
Tian Shi sat down calmly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, old lady, as far as I know, although Mrs. Zhen was captured, it was fine.
The emperor arranged her to the General's Mansion in Linyu, and was taken care of by several wives, but she did not touch her at all. But I heard that the old lady was in trouble. So on the one hand, I wanted to report her safety to the old lady, and on the other hand, I came to solve her problems."
"You just need to hand over your little sister, and you will be unable to resolve your worries."
"Three Young Master, is this really the case?"
