The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

the second

There are thousands of people in the world, and there are thirty-five leaders, namely Sanjun, Bajun, Bagu, Baji, and Bachu.

The ruler is the one who sets an example for others, and who is admired by the world, is the supreme one. A handsome person, a person with talent and hope, is second to the king. A caregiver, who can guide others with virtue, is second to Jun. Those who can lead others to follow the sages whom the public admires are second to Gu. A cook is said to be able to save people with money.

Generally speaking, a mature political group must have four types of people, one is a spiritual leader, one is a backbone with talent and status, one is a propaganda person who can lead others to follow and join the group, and the last one He is a "rich man" who can provide financial support to the group. The thirty-five leaders of the party members just include these four types of people.

Three sovereigns are Dou Wu, Liu Shu, and Chen Fan. Dou Wu is a foreign relative, a general in the early years of Emperor Huan, and Liu Shu is a relative of the Han family. Wei, who is of high moral character, these three can be described as spiritual leaders.

Eight Jun, Li Ying, Xun Yu, etc. After Li Ying became a "famous public servant", he was virtuous and was known as a model for the world. He served as the captain of Yin and Sili in Henan. Xun Yu was a son of the Xun family. Befriended Xun Boxiu, served as the prime minister of Pei and the governor of Yuesi, and the rest of Du Mi, Zhao Dian, Wang Chang and others were similar to them. , Have status, these eight people can be said to be the backbone of the party. ..

Ba Gu, Guo Linzong, Fan Pang, etc., may be second to Ba Jun in terms of background, fame, and power, but they are also the backbone of the party.

Baji, Zhang Jian, Liu Biao, etc. These eight people are propaganda forces. Their own character and talent may not be enough to lead scholars to follow, but they "can lead others to follow the sages that everyone admires", that is, three. Jun, Bajun, Bagu.

Eight chefs, Zhang Miao, Wang Fen, etc., they are not as good as the first twenty-seven in terms of character, talent, and reputation, but they all value wealth and righteousness, and regard money as dung. , "Eight kitchens provide money, and make thousands of dollars." The food that people eat comes from the kitchen. Putting it here, it means that these eight people are like a kitchen for people to eat and drink, and they continuously supply the party members with goods.

Xun Zhen had great respect for Wang Fen, one of the "eight chefs", and had a good impression of him.

On the one hand, it is not everyone's ability to do the same thing for decades, this is very chivalrous.

On the other hand, Xun Yu, one of the Eight Jun, was the grandfather of Xun You, the father of Xun Qu, and the father of Xun Zhen. Wang Fen and Xun Yu were among the thirty-five leaders of the party. An old friend, that is to say, Wang Fen is the elder of Xun Zhen and Xun You.

When Wang Fen first arrived as the prefect of Jizhou, Xun Zhen gave him a document welcoming him to his post as usual. The document was written both as Lieutenant Zhao and as a junior.

It's just that Xun Zhen's respect for Wang Fen has lost a lot with Wang Fen's palindrome.

The thief's love is like fire, and Jizhou is in great chaos. At this critical time, the first thought is not to deploy troops to attack the thieves, but to look at the divination.

This is too surprising and unacceptable.

I have to accept it if I can't accept it. Fortunately, although the palindrome came down a few days late, it finally came down, and I fully adopted Xun Zhen's suggestion. For Xun Zhen, this is also a comfort.

Xunzhen summoned Liu Bei, Handan Rong, Cheng Jia, Cen Rong, Li Bo and other government officials, as well as Xu Zhong, Xin Ai, Jiang Qin, Wen Pin, Chen Wu and other military officials, as well as Zhao Yun, to send Wang Fen's palindrome. show them.

"Zhang Niujiao, Chu Feiyan, and the thieves were very powerful, and Boling, Julu, Changshan, and Zhongshan counties fell into their hands. At this time, Zhao County could not be alone. Fang Bo passed down an order to order our county. The soldiers of the prefecture left the country, seized Julu Yangshi County, and attacked Zhang Niujiao." Xun Zhen paused and asked everyone in the hall, "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone replied: "Only the lieutenant's order is to obey!"

The battle is imminent, and we must first mobilize and boost our morale.

After all, Chu Feiyan and Zhang Niujiao each have tens of thousands of them, and there are tens of thousands of thieves and soldiers from Wei, Zhongshan, Julu and other counties like Yudu, Suigu, Bairao, Lei Gong, Baique, Fuyun, Qingniujiao, etc. There are also a thousand or so soldiers with few soldiers. Zhao County has only five thousand cavalry, and it has to leave enough men and horses to guard the border. Those who can use it are at most two or three thousand. fearful.

Xun Zhen stood up from the table, stood up on the sword, stood on the hall, looked at the people in the hall, and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Niujiao pretended to be Zhang Jiao, and called himself a general. The attack on Julu seems sharp, but it's not. Who is Zhang Jiao? You don't need to tell me, all the ministers know. Who killed Zhang Jiao? Don't need me to tell, all the ministers know!"

Zhang Jiao died at the hands of Xin Ai, and everyone in the hall knew about it.

Jiang Qin, Liu Deng, and Wen Pin all laughed.

Cheng Jia smiled and said, "Zhang Niujiao doesn't know whether to live or die. I think it's just to add another merit to Yulang."

Cheng Jia knew that the Xin family was the in-law of the Xun family, and that Xin Ai was Xun Zhen's favorite general, and had always been flattering to Xin A. This flattery was just right, and it was very ironic, but unfortunately Xin Ai xìng was lazy and was not very interested in his flattery.

Xun Zhen laughed and said: "Jun Chang is right! Even Zhang Jiao was forced to death by Yulang, let alone a Zhang Niujiao who started a crime in the name of Zhang Jiao? It's not worthwhile for a clown to jump on a beam! To Ruo Chu Feiyan, he has never The rebellion started, and so far he has not dared to take the next step in the south, but only dared to run wildly in the north of Zhending. This shows that he fears me in Zhao County, and this fear of me is like a tiger thief. The thieves are not worth mentioning. These thieves were originally bandits, and they were the same rat as Wang Dang. If my county does not send troops, once troops are sent, I will attack them with thousands of zealots. Easy ear, broken easy ear."

Everyone said, "Exactly!"

Although Xun You had no official status, Xun Zhen's nephew was one of Xun Zhen's most trusted people, ranking only after Xi Zhicai, Handan Rong, and Liu Bei, and his seat was below Handan Rong. He got up and said, "Zhang Niujiao, Chu Feiyan, and other thieves are strong on the outside, but in reality they are vulnerable. The lieutenant fought all Zhao's troops and executed Zhang Jiao's might. If they attack, why won't the city be destroyed? If they fight, why won't the thieves be convinced?"

Xu Zhong, Xin Ai, Jiang Qin, Wen Ping, Liu Deng, Chen Wu and other military officials burst into flames with their blood boiling. "The lieutenant worked hard to complete Zhao's army, and exalted the might of Zhang Jiao. With attack, why would the city not be destroyed? With battle, why would the thieves refuse to accept it!"

"Military order!"

The military ministers bowed their bodies and clasped their fists, saluted, and responded, "The lieutenant, please."

Xi Zhicai, Handan Rong, Liu Bei and other civil servants also got up and bowed down, and replied, "Let the lieutenant give an order."

Zhao Yun, the "Guest Qing", also got up and bowed down, waiting for Xun Zhen's order.

"This time, the prefect of the prefect went out to attack the thieves, and the thieves were always together. However, the way of using the army is the first word of stability. You should not be arrogant and ignore it."

Everyone responded in unison: "No."

After boosting morale, I remind everyone not to be careless. Next, it is time to dispatch troops and assign tasks.

"Before leaving the county, I must first keep Zhao County safe, Junqing, Zhicai, Gongzai..."

Xu Zhong, Xi Zhicai, and Handan Rong replied, "Yes."

"The three of you don't have to leave the county with me this time. I'll leave fifteen hundred paces for the three of you. You three must guard Handan well to prevent Wei county from attacking with poison."

Yu Du is still besieging Ye County. Judging from common sense, he should not come to attack Zhao County, but he can't be sure and can't be careless.

Xu Zhong, Xi Zhicai, and Handan Rong replied, "No."

Xu Zhong was the number one military official under Xun Zhen's account, Xi Zhi was the number one advisor, and Handan Rong was the number one official of the Lieutenant's Mansion and was a native of Handan. With the three of them staying in Handan, it was enough to defend the city and appease the place.

"Junchang, Awu, you two don't have to leave the county from me. After I lead the troops away, you two will go to Yiyang and Xiangguo, and sit in these two counties to secure the border for me."

Cheng Jia and Chen Wu replied, "No."

One of them is from Yiyang, the other is from Xiangguo, the other is wise, and the other is brave. With the two of them sitting in Yiyang and Xiangguo, it is enough to collude with Chen Bao, who is currently leading troops to guard in Beibai and Zhongqiu. The connection with Handan. With a few of them around, Zhao Jun did not dare to say that it was infallible. At least in the short term, if there were no large groups of thieves attacking, he could guarantee nothing.

"Xuande, Ziyuan, you two don't have to leave the county from me, and the lieutenant's mansion must not be left unattended. After I leave, the lieutenant's mansion will be handed over to you and the public servant to take full responsibility for all the chores."

Liu Bei, Li Bo, and Handan Rong agreed.

"Xuande, you are acquainted with Wei Chang, the prime minister. After I leave the county, the communication between the lieutenant's mansion and the prime minister's mansion will be handed over to you. The supply of grain and ordnance must never be interrupted."

Liu Bei was a little disappointed. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Xun Zhen's dispatch of troops to return with military merit, but Xun Zhen's order was both given and reasonable, so he could only accept it.

Although Li Bo did not have outstanding talents, he was more stable and meticulous, and he was Xun Zhen's "old man". Having him assist Liu Bei in the lieutenant's mansion was enough to ensure smooth communication between the mansion and the barracks.

Xun Zhen carefully considered these personnel arrangements, and each of the few left behind could play the greatest role in their post.

"The rest of the ministers leave the county from me."

Jiang Qin, Xin Ai, Liu Deng and others agreed in unison.

"Where is Yuan Qin?"

Li Xiang's position is very low, and his seat is almost at the end of the military officials. He hurriedly stepped out of the queue and bowed, and replied, "The lower official is here."

"This time we send troops, with you as the vanguard."

Li Xiang is overjoyed, the role of vanguard is very important. Guan Xunzhen has been in the army before, and all of them are his confidants, such as Liu Deng, but this time Li Xiang is used as the vanguard, which shows that hard work pays off. Li Xiang's status under Xun Zhen's tent was finally greatly improved. He answered loudly: "No! Xiang will not take on this responsibility."

"Where is Uncle?"

Chen Dao's rank is higher in the middle, next to Xu Zhong, Xin Ai, Jiang Qin, Liu Deng and other old people from Xixiang, and he is on the same level as Gao Su, so he came out: "Yes."

"This time the troops are dispatched, with you as the queen."

To some extent, the role of the rear is more important than the role of the vanguard, especially when the army is defeated, and the front or center is attacked by the enemy. Chen Daoxìng was calm and resolute, and with him at the rear, Xun Zhen had no worries.

"promise."

"Yu Lang."

Xin Ai came out: "Yes."

"You command the cavalry and walk with my army."

"promise."

Xun Zhen's tent is now considered to be full of talents. Among the military officials, there are brave, stable, wise and courageous, good in attack, and good in defense. It's easy to use, and people can make the best use of it.

After the assignment of the tasks, Xun Zhen ordered Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin and other military officials to say, "Your Excellency and the others will return to their respective camps, and I will give you two days of preparation and mobilization time. I will lead the troops out of the county in the morning the day after tomorrow!"

"promise."

The crowd dispersed.

Xun Zhen stopped Zhao Yun and said to him: "Zilong, don't be in a hurry, Chu Feiyan, Zhang Niujiao, and Yu Du all stood up together, echoing each other from a distance. , to recapture Julu, and the next step is to unite with the state troops of Gaoyi, and the attack is really settled."

Although Zhao Yun was concerned about his hometown, he wished he could attack Zhending now, but he also knew that he couldn't make a fat man in one bite, and Xun Zhen had told him in detail the strategy of pacifying the thieves in the past few days. He also agreed very much with the strategy of taking Julu first, so he concealed his worries and replied, "Yes."

"This time, if you want to attack the thief, you can also go with Yulang and the others, and walk with my army."

"promise."

Zhao Yun was full of gratitude to Xun Zhen at this time. Xun Zhen promised him to write to the prefecture, and he did what he said. Although it is said that all this is not to help him regain his true determination, in fact, even without him, Xun Zhen will be in the state government in the past few days, but it seems that the reason why Xun Zhen invited the war this time But the thief really started because of his words. He was a man of gratitude and repayment. He came to join Xun Zhen originally because of Xun Zhen's reputation for being a good soldier and a humble corporal, but now it's more than that. And more grateful.

"I see that the true definition of coming from you is never without armor, ... uncle."

Xuankang replied, "Yes."

"I'll write a note later, you can take it to Jun Qing and ask him to allocate some armor from the military resources and give it to Zilong."

"promise."

Zhao Yun thanked him and said, "Thank you Lieutenant."

"Just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning." Xun Zhen lifted him up with a smile, told him to take his seat, and turned to the remaining Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Handan Rong, and Liu Bei and said, "Xiangjun must have also received Fang Bo's order for me to come out. The county's letter, I have to go and tell him."

The court and prefectural government issued the order to the feudal feudal states, always with the same name as the prime minister and the lieutenant, and one government had one share, especially the military order.

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "That's how it should be."

"Xuande, you go with me."

After Xun Zhen left, the lieutenant's mansion would be handed over to Liu Bei, Handan Rong, and Li Bo as escrow.

Liu Bei replied, "Yes."

After leaving the lieutenant's mansion, Xun Zhen and Liu Bei were in the same car, with Dian Wei and Jian Yong on the side of the car.

Xun Zhen lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at Jian Yong, turned around and smiled and said to Liu Bei, "By the way, Xuande, I have something to ask you about."

"What's up?"

"Yunchang and Yide both have the courage to be inappropriate. I want to take them with me this time. What do you think?"

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are now holding positions in the barracks, they are Liu Bei's "guests", and they have to ask Liu Bei's opinion.

Liu Bei said in his heart: "As the lieutenant said~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Yu Du of Wei County is besieging Ye County, and it is expected that they should not be able to attack my Handan. Even if Yunchang and Yide stay in Handan, they are useless. , instead of that, it is better to ask the two of them to follow the lieutenant out of the county. With their bravery, they can make military merits at least. With military merits, they will be able to gain a better background." He replied, "Xi lieutenant. order."

"There are no outsiders in the car, just call me brother."

"Yes, brother."

Xun Zhen fought for more than half a year last year, and she had seen hundreds of thousands of enemy troops and horses fighting fiercely against each other. Although she paid enough attention to the upcoming battle with Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan, she was not emotionally motivated. There are too many ups and downs, but now I can't help being "excited". Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, the third of the five tiger generals, will all go on expedition from him this time, and it is worthy of a "comfortable" return.

He concealed his "excited" mood well, and when Liu Bei was not paying attention, he glanced at him silently, and suddenly an indescribable feeling arose, and he said to himself, "Xuande Ah Xuande, don't blame me. It's not because I treat you twice, or because I want to take your leadership. It's just that anyone who fights for state affairs can't be selfish? ."

Two days later, the preparations for the battle had been completed, and the prime minister's residence had gathered enough people.

Xun Zhen bid farewell to Liu Heng, Huang Zong, Duan Cong, Xi Zhicai, Xu Zhong, Handan Rong, Liu Bei, Li Bo and others, led 3,000 cavalry, more than 2,000 civilians and hundreds of carts, and left the barracks. , headed northeast, entered Julu County, and went to Yangshi County at the same time.

However, just after passing through Renxian County in Julu, before reaching the mainland, there was an urgent report from the state government ahead.
