Three Kingdoms

"Your Majesty changed the year name again?"

Fei Qian, who was in Chang'an, received news of the return of Yang Xiu and others, and naturally also received relevant information about Liu Xie's changes before and after the celebration and Cao Yuan's current situation.

"Too excited? Hmm..."

Fei Qian put down the silk cloth, closed his eyes and meditated.

The Yuan family of the Han Dynasty has reached the point where it is today. It represents not just a Yuan family, but the choice of the gentry headed by the Yuan family.

At the beginning, the split between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu divided the huge Yuan family into two parts, and also divided the Han gentry class into two.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was founded by the Shandong gentry. The most important ones were Nanyang and Jizhou. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao happened to take Nanyang and Jizhou. If Yuan Wei was alive, then the Yuan family might have the final say in unifying Nanyang and Jizhou, but what Yuan Wei didn't expect was that when he died, the balance of the Yuan family would be broken.

Yuan Shu in Nanyang, without the suppression of his superiors, quickly exposed a lot of problems, and these problems further reduced the support for Yuan Shu in Nanyang, that is, Yuzhou. Because people with insight have also noticed that Yuan Shu's words and deeds are inconsistent, and his actions cannot support the huge dynasty at all. He chose to retreat when he challenged Dong, which officially made Cao Cao stand out.

It can be said that Yuan Shao was remarkable at the beginning. He beheaded the imperial envoys. On the one hand, he showed his decisiveness, and on the other hand, he also showed to the Jizhou nobles that he would not bow to a warrior like Dong Zhuo, who represented cruelty and force. , Therefore, the integrity displayed by Yuan Shao coincided with the time when the gentry in the world opposed the military rule, so Yuan Shao naturally rose to power.

Cao Cao replaced Yuan Shu's position, which seemed sudden, but it was also inevitable.

There are still disputes within the noble clan. From the information submitted by Yang Xiu, it is reflected that even within Cao Cao, there is still chaos. This makes Fei Qian couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't have a fever and leave the emperor. In Guanzhong, if the emperor was really in Guanzhong, these problems would still inevitably occur...

Seeing that Yuan Shu could not help him, the nobles in Yuzhou turned to Cao Cao one after another. This was the fundamental reason why Cao Cao was able to quickly defeat Yuan Shu. With so many leading parties, Yuan Shu was undefeated.

Afterwards, the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked like a war between two people, but it was actually a gentry struggle between the Jizhou faction and the Yuzhou faction. Judging from the current situation, Yuzhou finally achieved a phased victory just like in history. .

"Xu You Xu Ziyuan..."

Fei Qian chuckled and shook his head.

Xu You was from Nanyang. He left Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao. This actually represented a kind of recognition and recognition of Cao Cao as the representative of the Yuzhou gentry.

So generally speaking, the world is now divided into four parts.

The Jizhou area is centered on the Jizhou gentry and represented by Yuan Shao. The Yuzhou area is centered on the Yingchuan gentry and represented by Cao Cao. The Jiangdong area is represented by Sun Quan...

And here’s a piece…

However, just like there are disputes over Cao Cao's side, there are actually not many things going on here in Guanzhong.

After Fei Qian took control of Guanzhong, many people began to gather in Chang'an one after another. On the one hand, they were political tentacles in an attempt to obtain first-hand intelligence. On the other hand, they also began to seek help from Fei Qian's political group. Climb high in an attempt to occupy a certain position.

In the market, the rumors about Jia Xu and Pang Tong have never completely subsided. If Fei Qian had not been determined, if it had been someone else, I am afraid that neither Pang Tong nor Jia Xu would have had any good results now.

Jia Xu is naturally a problem left over from history. Just like in history, when Jia Xu reached the position of Third Duke and became a Taiwei, there were still people who sneered and disdained...

As for Pang Tong, of course he is young.

In the eyes of many people, young people are the original sin. How can we succeed without a mature and prudent person in charge of the overall situation?

On the contrary, Zao Zhi, who has left the political circle and is aloof from the farm, has received unanimous praise despite being equally young. This made Fei Qian sigh with emotion. Double standards have been so natural and smooth since ancient times. .

From these voices, Fei Qian also noticed a problem, that is, his team still lacked some knowledge. Pang Degong and Liu Hong were old and were not suitable for climbing mountains and wading to Guanzhong. However, except for the original celebrities in Guanzhong, After Ma Rong became outstanding, there was no improvement. Even Ma Rixi, the last glory of the Ma family, has fallen. The current situation is indeed a blank.

Isn't this the only source of support for the noble families in Shandong now?

However, this void will soon be filled...

We can only take advantage of now and grab some time.

"Shi Yuan! How long will it take for Qinglong Temple to be completed?!" Fei Qian said loudly, "If you exceed the time limit, your salary will be deducted! Uh, no, I will punish you with no meat!"

Pang Tong felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed out, "I'll go take a look soon!"

...Here is the dividing line for no meat...

When Pang Tong was worried that there would be no meat to eat, Zhang Fei, who was in Sichuan and Shu, was preparing to eat meat.

Of course, this meat is the real meat in dry food, and there is also Dingzuo...

After Fei Qian sent people to teach the tactics in the mountains and forests, Zhang Fei absorbed them like a hunger and thirst, and the trainers then selected two hundred people from the soldiers and rushed towards Ding Ze again.

This time, Liu Bei also emptied almost all the supplies, even giving up his own clothes, to equip Zhang Fei and these soldiers with weapons and equipment, dry food, blankets, etc...

Basically, it can be said that this time, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei made a desperate move.

If you win, of course everything will be fine. If you lose, you may be doomed.

Zhang Fei couldn't afford to pay compensation, but he felt that he really couldn't swallow the bad breath from before, so he was extra cautious. Not only did he bring two hundred freshly prepared mountain soldiers, he also set up another three hundred people as bait, led by Chen Dao , swaggering ahead.

We must defeat these Ze people in one go, and then take advantage of the situation to seize Ding Ze. Time can no longer be delayed. If we delay it, even if we finally defeat these Ze people in Ding Ze, they will still have to let Li Hui and others from Jianning who came from the south to capture Ding Ze. If you get the first move, wouldn't the previous efforts have been wasted?

Zhang Fei is rushing for time now.

Using 300 people as bait, Zhang Fei would hide behind and take the opportunity to counterattack and kill the enemy generals. This plan was originally not liked by Zhang Fei, because Zhang Fei preferred frontal battlefield fighting, one-on-one anal and frontal fighting. , is Zhang Fei's favorite, and such sinister behavior was originally quite repulsive.

But on the battlefield, it is a battlefield after all, and the situation is changing rapidly. How can it be possible to stick to the rules and stick to the established methods without knowing how to adapt?

Coupled with Liu Bei's high hopes and heavy responsibilities, Zhang Fei had no choice but to swallow his little thoughts and follow Chen Dao's team in front in a hidden way.

Chen Dao led 300 people in a posture of rushing towards Dingze, and waved his banner as if he was afraid that others would not see it. If in other areas, guys who have been tortured by all kinds of pussy-foot teasers would probably be somewhat suspicious and feel that Chen Dao's behavior is a bit weird, and then deal with it carefully, but in Dingze, those who are bullied are these muscular ones. Ze people with stronger brains...

If you suffer a loss, you will gain some wisdom.

After being harassed and raided by the Zuo people many times before, they gradually mastered the ability to detect clues, so Chen Dao's men sent a message back, indicating that they had discovered the movements of the Zuo people.

Zhang Fei raised his head and looked at the sky, then ordered the march to speed up. He rushed to the side and rear of Chen Dao before dark, and lurked quietly to wait.

The Ze people are not gods, and they have the same limitations as humans. They still need to eat, drink, and sleep. So normally, most of the Ze people will choose to attack in the early morning and then retreat after dusk. Correct and prepare for the next attack.

After Zhang Fei arranged for everyone to enter the ambush position, he also gave the soldiers extremely precious insect repellent potion. After noticing no flaws, he ordered the soldiers to rest and eat on the spot.

No fire, eat cold.

This way, they won't be discovered by the Ze people from a distance.

There is a time limit for deworming potions, and Zhang Fei has no way to make and replenish them like Fei Qian's serious mountain soldiers, so it means that one batch will be used and one batch will be lost. This time, Zhang Fei was not willing to use it on such a large scale just to determine the outcome in one fell swoop.

But the insect repellent potion is indeed very useful. It has a slightly pungent smell and covers people's breath. Although it cannot completely avoid mosquito bites, it is already very good. In addition, Zhang Fei has been in the hospital for a while. In the mountains and forests, the skin was thicker, and Zhang Fei didn't care at all about the few mosquitoes.

After Zhang Fei inspected a circle, he also sat down, took out two large cakes from his leather bag, took a bite, then looked at the pickles and bacon sandwiched between the noodles, and sighed slightly. tone.

In order to imitate the loss of strength caused by the loss of salt water, Liu Bei used the last bit of his old skills. After Zhang Fei and the others left, Liu Bei was probably going to send his troops to collect wild fruits to satisfy their hunger...

But this is indeed effective. At least the soldiers brought by Zhang Fei have maintained quite good physical strength, which is undoubtedly a huge benefit for the upcoming battle.

The Zhe people finally appeared when it was getting dark the next day.

The Zuo people, who are used to being unorganized, were a little scattered even when they attacked, with a bunch here and a cluster there, but the momentum was not small. Their hair was disheveled and smeared with some weird colors, and they were making strange moans. However, the battle mode that is completely different from the Central Plains Battle Formation will indeed make people who come into contact with it for the first time a little uncomfortable.

However, when one was mentally prepared, the Zhe people's attack seemed like a joke.

The leadership of the Zuo people was still very relaxed. He thought that these Han soldiers would be easily frightened and run away like the last time, and then it would be time to chase and harvest, so when he rushed out, he shouted I screamed very excitedly...

In the eyes of the Zuo people, nearly a thousand Han Chinese were beaten back before, so what do these three hundred people count now? As a result, the Ze people's state of almost underestimating the enemy had extremely serious consequences for themselves.

When the Zuo people pounced, Chen Dao had his soldiers quickly form a battle formation. Their spears and shields were like solid stone walls, causing the Zuo people to hit their heads and bleed.

"Ouch!"

Zhang Fei screamed and rushed out, leading his soldiers out of hiding and outflanking them on both sides. These soldiers who gradually became accustomed to running around in the mountains and forests, some ran two steps and then rushed up to a rock with one step, bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the previously selected targets, while others parted the grass like snakes, Quickly approaching, the raised swords and guns were like exposed fangs...

Zhe Ren was stunned and a little at a loss.

Aren't the Han people only able to walk on the dirt road in the middle? When will they be able to run through the mountains and forests? Could it be that those who came were not Han people, but another team of Zhe people?

Then the oncoming arrows, swords and guns completely shattered the Zuo people's luck.

The shouting leader of the Zuo people was immediately targeted by Zhang Fei, and he rushed over with a roar. The personal guards of the leader of the Zuo people quickly stepped forward to cover and fight, but where was Zhang Fei's opponent?

Although Zhang Fei's usual weapon is a spear, the Zhangba spear is very majestic in normal combat. In a place like a mountain forest, its power is inevitably compromised. If it accidentally gets stuck in a tree, Or maybe it was blocked by the cane when swinging, which was a terrible pain. Therefore, just to be cautious, Zhang Fei changed two swords and changed his profession to become a dual-swordsman.

Zhang Fei brandished two specially-changed swords and attacked the ground close to the ground, like a wild boar arching the ground with two large tusks. Not only was it arching up dust, it was also arching up a rain of blood... …

The leader of the Zuo people was shocked and turned around and ran away. However, in order to see the battlefield clearly, he was also careless. Although the terrain where he stood was higher, it was far away from the direction where Zhang Fei was rushing. It was relatively steep. In desperation, he even ran away. There is no place to stay...

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Zhang Fei roared and was already on the way. He swung one hand horizontally to block the knife from the leader of the Zuo people. He slashed down with one hand and then raised the knife with his hand. With one blow, he chopped the leader of the Zuo people to the ground!

Intention versus unpreparedness, this battle had no suspense at all. As the leader of the Zuo people was beheaded on the spot, the Zuo people burst into chaos, dragging their swords and guns and burrowed into the forest...

"Don't even think about running away!"

Zhang Fei screamed, before because he had no experience in fighting in the mountains and forests, he did not dare to chase the Zuo people in the mountains and forests, but now Zhang Fei, who was full of momentum, said to Chen Dao, "Follow me quickly," and bit him Following the Zuo people's retreating tail, they pursued and killed them...
