The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The news was brought by Xun You.

"Junhou, Qiao Yuanwei is dead."

"How did you die?"

"For Liu Yanzhou, Chen Liu, and Jiyin to attack it together, the soldiers were defeated and died."

Qiao Yuanwei is Qiao Mao, Liu Yanzhou is Liu Dai, the prefect of Yanzhou, and Chen Liu and Jiyin are the prefects of Chenliu and Jiyin respectively.

Xun Zhen asked it carefully, but it turned out to be: Qiao Mao was arrogant and had a conflict with Liu Dai. With the help of Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Liu Dai fought with Qiao Mao. As a result, Qiao Mao was defeated. in a deadly battle.

Both Chenliu and Jiyin counties belonged to Yanzhou, Qiao Mao was the prefect of Dong County, and Dong County also belonged to Yanzhou. On the surface, this battle was a power struggle within Yanzhou. found.

Xi Zhicai sighed: "Qiaoyuan's son of Duke Wei's clan is inherently tyrannical. I've heard it before. When he was stationed in Suanzao, Changling despised Liu Yanzhou and Zhang Chenliu. Today they are Yanzhou, Chenliu and Jiyin Gong. If you hit it, the soldiers will be defeated and die, so you can call it your own disaster?"

Qiao Mao is of noble birth, strong personality, and an adventurous person.

How tyrannical and risk-taking his character is, can be seen from one thing: "This time when the Kwantung was launched, at first, because there was no excuse, neither the prefectures nor the county dared to move, but he was the only one who dared to take the world. It's too big, to correct the book of the three princes, and to spread the word to the world, so that there are all kinds of roads." This matter, - you know, at that time, the princes of the court and today's emperor were all in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and even Yuan Shao dared not He hurriedly launched an army, but there was him, who dared to correct the book of the Three Dukes, and did not take the safety of the court and the emperor seriously.

This shows his character.

His character is so tyrannical, and he is self-reliant on this skill, so after joining forces with various soldiers and horses in Suanzao, at the usual gatherings, he really does not have Shaolin contempt Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others, - Xun Zhen, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xun Yu and others have all heard about it.

At that time, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, etc. once said: Qiao Yuanwei is arrogant and arrogant, and he is allied with Ling, I am afraid that sooner or later, he will fall out with the Dukes of Yanzhou and Chenliu.

Whether Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others are worse than Qiao Mao in terms of real power, military and horse trilogy, or in terms of family voice and personal reputation? In terms of real power, Liu Dai and others are either on the same level as Qiao Mao and are also the governor of the country with 2,000 stones, or they have a low rank, such as Liu Dai, but they are "inferior in rank and weight"; , each with tens of thousands of soldiers, no worse than Qiao Mao, and some even have more soldiers and horses than Qiao Mao; in terms of family reputation and personal reputation, they are the same as Qiao Mao, and most of them are children of the public clan. , or the nobles and nobles who have been well-dressed for generations, as far as they are concerned, they are also famous in the world. If nothing else, take Liu Dai as an example. He is not only a clan of the Han family, but also a "public clan". son”—his father had served several times in the court when he was in the court, and he had a good relationship with Yuan Shao, the “alliance leader” who raised the army this time. Just imagine: how could he endure being scorned by Qiao Mao for a long time? shame?

Sure enough, he couldn't hold his breath, so after the Suanzao soldiers dispersed, he joined Zhang Miao and others to kill Qiao Mao.

Xun Yu shook his head again and again, and said, "The dukes of Suanzao, the soldiers have been stationed for several months, and there is hardly a battle. The soldiers are scattered, and there are internal fights. The so-called heroes in the world are really mediocre, difficult and big things."

What Xi Zhicai and others saw was that the sour jujube army was not enough to do great things, but Xun Zhen saw something else.

He thought to himself: "Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others are fighting with Qiao Mao, this is the prelude to 'Guandong Prefecture will no longer be duplicitous, and will no longer recruit troops to prepare for war in the name of begging Dong, but will start to compete for territory nakedly'. what."

Before this incident, the dozen or so troops that had already raised troops in Guandong, as well as the more states and counties that had not yet raised troops, were in a sense in an alliance, and their common enemy was Dong Zhuo.

But after this incident, no matter who is right or wrong between Qiao Mao and Liu Dai, the iron-clad fact that Qiao Mao died shows that the orderly alliance relationship will gradually begin to transform into disorderly and chaotic disputes and civil strife.

In fact, "Dang Dong" is just a political banner. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Han Dynasty will be destroyed, and the world will have to change its owner. If it is really for the sake of seeking Dong, how could the more than 100,000 cavalry of Suanzao be possible? Months without a fight? It is clear that most of these people clearly use the name of negotiating Dong, and they really have the plan to "use chaos to make profits and expand their own strength". Without their rivalry, sooner or later there would be other rivalries.

Xun Zhen thought about this in her heart and asked, "Qiao Yuanwei's army is defeated and died, who is guarding Dongjun today?"

Xun You replied, "Liu Yanzhou leads the prefect of Dongjun with Wang Huan."

"Who is Wang Huan?"

"It is the same county as Liu Yanzhou. This time Liu Yanzhou raised an army. Wang Huong gathered his clan and county people to vote for him. Liu Yanzhou won the credit of Liu Yanzhou because he represented him as a general in the line."

As soon as Xun Zhen heard this, he understood that Wang Huan's position in Liu Dai's army should be similar to that of Xu Zhong, Xun Cheng, Xi Zhicai, etc. in his own army.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "With this example first, it is convenient for me in the future to show my soldiers and soldiers for the county and the country when I have the opportunity in the future."

Previously, Xun Zhen and Yuan Shao had jointly listed Sun Jian as the prefect of Yingchuan, but Sun Jian was different from Wang Huan. Wang Huan was only a subordinate of Liu Dai, while Sun Jianjiu was two thousand stone and the Marquis of Wucheng. It is the country's dignitaries, and now there is the example of Wang Huan, but in the future, Xun Zhen can also openly appoint his own troops and soldiers as the two thousand stone prefects.

Of course, the premise is that he has the opportunity and can lay down another territory.

The opportunity is coming soon.

Just after hearing the news that Liu Dai and Qiao Mao were fighting each other~www.wuxiaspot.com~ about seven or eight days later, another news came.

This news came not from Luoyang, but from Guangling, Xuzhou.

Yuan Sui, Yao Sheng, Chen Bao and others who were staying in Guangling by Xun Zhen, who were sitting in the county, sent an urgent report.

The emergency newspaper wrote: Xuzhou Biaozheng became the minister of Xiapi, invaded Pengcheng, and approached our county.

But it turned out: the original minister of Xiapi had been ill for a long time and died of illness a month ago. The position of minister of Xiapi had been vacant, but a few days ago, probably following Liu Dai's move, Tao Qian suddenly expressed his anger. Rong became the prime minister of Xiapi, and the next day after he took office, Zhe Rong sent three thousand troops to the border of Pengcheng. Tao Qian also sent five thousand troops, divided into three thousand and also went to the border of Pengcheng, and the other two thousand wandered outside Guangling County. .

Xun Zhen showed this urgent report to Xi Zhicai and others.

After Xi Zhicai and the others watched, Xi Zhicai said: "Tao Xuzhou did not show Zhe Rong in the early days, and he did not express Zhe Rong in the evening, but at this time, Zhe Rong sent troops to the north, and approached the southern boundary of Pengcheng. Tao Xuzhou also sent troops to the western border of Pengcheng, and then divided their troops to the north of our county. ... Junhou, he clearly wanted to take advantage of Liu Yanzhou, Zhang Mengzhuo and others to attack and destroy Qiao Yuanwei, and start with Pengcheng."
