Chapter 377 Guandu (3) 3/3
As soon as this question came out, Liu Chuang's head buzzed and he suddenly became nervous...
He didn't expect Fa Zheng to ask such a question...because before that, he thought Fa Zheng was going to tell him how to seize Xingyang. But who would have thought that Fa Zheng was actually asking about the relationship between Liu Chuang and Sima, and how could Liu Chuang not be nervous?
Zhong Yao, Sima Fang...
Both are Liu Chuang's uncles.
But from the bottom of my heart, Liu Chuang was closer to Sima Fang.
This is not only because Sima Fang has a real blood relationship with him, but also because Sima Fang has been helping him. Since Liu Chuang entered Xudu, Sima Fang designed to assassinate Liu Chuang, which made Liu Chuang push to the forefront, making Cao ** dare not attack him easily.
After that, Sima Fang helped Liu Chuang escape from Xudu and asked Sima Yi to follow Liu Chuang.
In the eyes of many people, Sima did not give much help to Liu Chuang. But in Liu Chuang's eyes, Sima Fang really helped him sincerely... Zhong Yao had no choice but to surrender to Liu Chuang. Before that, he had always been interested in Cao**. Although Zhong Yao also helped Liu Chuang, in Liu Chuang's eyes, it was more of a kind of charity, not from his sincerity. Even if Zhong Yao asked Guo Yuan to follow Liu Chuang later, he could not help Liu Chuang untied his heart. Even if he now appointed Zhong Yao as the governor of Liangzhou, he would have more recognition of Sima Fang in his heart.
Liu Chuang has been carefully protecting the secret between him and the Sima family.
Because he knew very well that Sima Yi was able to establish the Huang Pavilion in the Central Plains, Sima Fang would definitely be inseparable from this.
If the relationship between Sima and him is exposed, the Sima family will inevitably face a catastrophe.
So when Fa Zheng asked, Liu Chuang's first thought was to kill Fa Zheng... Fortunately, he still had some reason and forced himself to suppress the murderous intent in his heart. He looked at Fa Zheng and asked softly after a while: "Xiaozhi, why did he suddenly ask about this?"
"Zhongda follows the lord and takes charge of the Huang Pavilion.
Although not many people know, they will be exposed sooner or later... Now Shuda comes to serve the lord again, and the relationship between Sima and the lord is not as simple as imagined. Zheng Jinyu came to ask for it risked his life, and he also had an idea, which was related to the lord's next plan."
Liu Chuang's eyes drooped and he didn't say anything.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Fa Zheng and said, "There are not many people who know about the relationship between me and Sima.
However, since Xiaozhi asked you, I don’t want to hide it... My biological mother is a member of the Sima clan and Sima Fang’s sister. In other words, Sima Fang is my uncle and his uncle. But I don’t know what Xiaozhi said has to do with this."
Liu Chuang's tone was very calm and he could not hear any emotional fluctuations.
But his hand was placed on the Juque Sword on the desk. As long as Fa Zheng’s answer was wrong, he would kill Fa Zheng without hesitation.
Fazheng seemed to have not realized this.
He stood up and bowed to the ground, "In this way, he just wanted to congratulate the lord and congratulate the lord."
"oh?"
"The lord has this relationship, and it is no problem to seek Luoyang."
Liu Chuang held the sword tighter, his body leaned forward slightly, and he looked at Fa Zheng and said, "Please tell Xiaozhi clearly, I don't understand."
"Now Sima Lang is the ruling of Luoyang, while Sima Fang lives in Tongtu Lane.
The Sima family in Henoi is well-known in Heluo. More importantly, Sima Fang has more conveniences now in Luoyang.
Huzhu is a powerful pass, and cannot be easily taken.
But if something happens in Luoyang, Huzhu will be like being defeated from the inside... At that time, if Xingyang is eyeing him in the east, and the Luoyang Rebellion in the west, Cao's army will inevitably collapse without fighting. At that time, the lord can take down Huzhu without blood and take advantage of the situation to seize Heluo."
Liu Chuang let go of the Juque Sword and whispered after a while: "Although I don't have much contact with my uncle, I still have some understanding of it.
He was kind to recommend Cao **, so Cao ** also valued Sima very much. At this time, he would not help me succeed, unless I could conquer Huzhu by myself and defeat Cao ** in Xudu, otherwise, even if my uncle had the will, he would have many concerns."
Fa Zheng smiled and said, "It is precisely because of his concern that the lord has to force him to make a decision."
"oh?"
Fa Zheng walked forward and whispered in Liu Chuang's ear.
Liu Chuang was calm at first, but after hearing it, he couldn't help frowning and shook his head.
"With that case, wouldn't my uncle and his family be in danger?"
Fa Zheng took a step back, "The lord is related to the reign of the Han Dynasty, so there must not be a kindness of a woman.
Besides, since Sima Fang sent Shuda to him, it also means that he is optimistic about his lord. Since that's the case, why not force him to do it? Instead of letting him sway, it's better to let him show his position. Whether it's the lord or the Sima family, it's only good for him..."
Liu Chuang, take a deep breath.
Fa Zheng’s plan is very good. If it succeeds, Liu Chuang can take over Heluo.
But what if it fails?
The Sima family will encounter a catastrophe... So, what Fa Zheng said makes sense, but Liu Chuang was a little confused.
After pondering for a long time, he looked up at Fa Zheng and said, "Xiaozhi, I will think twice about this matter.
However, before I make a decision, please do not reveal this matter. Just seek Xingyang and don’t interfere with Sima’s affairs. If I hear a little bit of the wind outside, I will never forgive you... Then, I am my only remaining relative in this world."
Fa Zheng was shocked by a chilling cicada and quickly bowed and said, "Fa Zheng, understand!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The situation in Huzhu is critical, but there will not be too many problems in the short term.
Cao ** was even more convinced of Cao Peng. After a short rest of the White Horse, he hurried back to Xudu... He had to discuss with Xun Yu and discuss the next countermeasures.
In Liyang, the Han army had begun to turn from defense to attack, and the troops were approaching the city of Liyang.
After Zhuge Liang regained the Qinghe River, he continued to move forward, and took down Fagan and Leping and stationed troops in Xinting.
Cao Chun retreated while fighting, and after retreating to Yangping, he seized the city and defended.
Afterwards, he ordered Yue Xi to stay in Dongwu City, so that Zhang Qing stationed his troops into a city, echoing each other in a tripod, and building a floating bridge on the river surface to connect with Cangting. In this way, Cao Chun was equivalent to being backed by Dongjun and confronting the Han army with the danger of Luoshui.
Zhuge Liang did not hesitate when he saw this situation.
He decisively ordered Guo Yuan to be the prefect of Qinghe County, and sent someone to draw Xu Sheng and Xiao Ling from Wei County to come to Yangping.
Afterwards, Zhuge Liang sent people to the plains to ask for help from Ma Chao. In Qingzhou, the Han army had formed an effective defense after half a year of operation. Xu You and Ma Dai stayed in the plains, which could also maintain pressure on Cao's army. Not to mention that Gan Ning led the navy to attack the Qingzhou coast, it also formed an effective echo with Donglai Taishici, which was enough to prevent Man Chong from acting rashly in Qingzhou.
Dongjun is the place where Cao** made his fortune.
If there is any loss in Dongjun, Yanzhou will be in chaos...
To this end, Cao ** had to draw Yu Jin from Qingzhou to station in Dongjun to facilitate the convenience of giving Cao Chun enough support. Yu Jin, whose name is Wenze, was also one of the five good generals under Cao ** in history. He was good at fighting, skilled in military tactics, and was better at governing the army, and could form effective complementarity with Cao Chun. Most importantly, Yu Jin was very steady and could provide enough support to Cao Chun so that he would not be confused.
However, after Yu Jin was transferred to Dongjun, Qingzhou was short of staff.
After discussing with Dong Zhao and Xun You, Cao ** ordered Cao Ling Shi Liangxi, the western Sikong Prefecture, to be the prefect of Beihai to resist Taishi Ci...
Liang Xi, whose courtesy name is Ziyu, was from Chen Guozhe, Yuzhou, and was even one of the rare all-round talents during the Three Kingdoms period.
In terms of courage, Liang Xi is not worthy of justice. However, in terms of talent, this person was a pillar of Cao Wei in history. He served as the chief of Zhangzhou, and later served as the chief officer of Chengshi, Haixi, and Xiapi. During his tenure, he was able to manage his rulers very well.
In history, Cao ** captured Bingzhou, and Liang Xi was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou by Sima, another department.
At that time, Bingzhou had just experienced the rebellion of high-ranking officials, desolate and barren, with the rebellion of Hu Di outside, and the tyrants and domineering inside. The officials and people rebelled and entered their tribes; the military strategists supported the crowd and became a bandit. It can be said that Bingzhou was extremely chaotic at that time, even so chaotic that no one was willing to go. After Liang Xi took office, he recruited talents and quickly formed the shogunate, quickly quelled the chaos, wiped out the powerful, and stabilized Bingzhou.
At that time, someone commented: I thought that the governor had never learned anything from the practitioners.
Among the people I have passed, seen, and heard, there are almost no one who can surpass Liang Xi as a governor...
What a clever evaluation this is, it can be seen that Liang Xi's talent is outstanding. Letting Liang Xi go to Qingzhou to be the prefect of Beihai is the most suitable for the current situation. Because Cao ** is very clear that the harm of Taishi Ci is limited to Donglai. As long as he cannot pass the glue, he cannot truly threaten the stability of Qingzhou. In this case, it is not appropriate to send a general to the east of the glue. As long as Taishi Ci can be blocked east of the glue, Qingzhou can be ensured to be stable... And as long as there is no chaos in Qingzhou, it is generally unhindered.
Liang Xi is the most suitable place to stay in Beihai...
As the Battle of Hulao began, whether it was the Cao army or the Han army, the troops were dispatched more and more frequently.
Sun Quan, who was in Jiangdong, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, who were far away in Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang, were all paying attention to the showdown between Cao ** and Liu Chuang. Almost everyone could feel that this showdown between Cao ** and Liu Chuang would be related to the future belonging of the north. Whoever can win can dominate the north... This situation is so similar to the Battle of Guandu several years ago.
At that time, Yuan Shao and Cao ** were in this situation. As a result, Yuan Shao was defeated in the battle of Guandu.
Now, Yuan Shao is replaced by Liu Chuang, so who will win this duel between him and Cao **? It has also made countless people worry about it.
If Cao wins, the north will form a separatist rule.
In the short term, it is impossible for Liu Chuang and Cao ** to defeat each other...
But if Liu Chuang wins, then...
Are you sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight or making a choice? All the princes were also in deep thought.
