The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 179

Xi Zhicai said that when Sun Jian asked for help, whether to help or not to help, there is no need to discuss this issue, and Xun Zhen definitely helped.

Xun Zhen beat Tao Qian and asked Sun Jian for help. Although Sun Jian's situation in Yuzhou was not very good, and many localities and gentry refused to accept him, he immediately sent Sun He and Han Dang generals to relocate to Xiaoxian and Henan. Hongxian County, helping Xun Zhen, then when Sun Jian encountered difficulties, how could Xun Zhen not help him? This is one of the reasons for supporting Sun Jian.

Yuan Shao has the ambition to fight for the deer, and Yuzhou and Xuzhou are interdependent. If Yuzhou is occupied by Yuan Shao, then sooner or later, he will further attack Xuzhou. He will use at least the manpower and material resources of Ji and Henan Prefectures. - Need to know, Jizhou and Yuzhou are both superior states. Whether it is Ji or Henan, they are stronger than Xuzhou. They are inferior to Xuzhou alone, let alone attack several counties of Xuzhou together. Now, can Xun Zhen stop it? Can't stop. This is the second reason for supporting Sun Jian.

Therefore, the focus of the discussion now, what needs to be planned in advance is "how to help".

Xun Zhen said: "Wentai and I are life and death. If he is in a hurry, I will save him. ... As for 'how to help'? Judging from the current situation, the first thing is to end Xuzhou as soon as possible. war."

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai agreed.

At the juncture that Xunzhen was about to conquer Xuzhou, Yuan Shao suddenly named Zhou Ang as the prefect of Yuzhou. Obviously, he wanted to send troops into Yuzhou before Xunzhen conquered Xuzhou, so that Xunzhen could not help Sun Jian in time. , leaving Sun Jian to fight alone.

It is foreseeable that it may not be too long before there will be news that Zhou Ang will lead his troops south to attack Yu.

Then, at this moment, the first thing that Xun Zhen urgently needed to do was to end the war in Xuzhou as soon as possible, so that he could help Sun Jian when Zhou Ang went south.

Xun Yu said: "The battle to attack Xu has been fought so far, and there are mainly only three places left in Houqiu, Xiangben and Tanxian."

Xi Zhicai said: "The key point is still Houqiu and Xiangben. These two counties only need one, and there are no reinforcements outside Tan County, so it won't be too difficult to get them."

"I will order Zhongren and Junqing today, ordering them to speed up the siege, and strive to capture Houqiu and Xiangben as soon as possible."

There were footsteps outside the hall, and someone came to the front of the hall, took off their shoes, and entered the hall.

Xun Zhen looked and saw that it was Chen Qun.

"Chang Wen? When did you return to the city from the camp?"

Chen Qun is currently in charge of military resources and stays in the camp all day, rarely returning to the city.

He bowed to Xun Zhen, and then bowed to Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu respectively, and then replied to Xun Zhen, "I just came back. I received a military report from Xun Fu's army, saying that Mi Zhu sent it to his camp. A large amount of food and grain is enough to feed 5,000 people for a month. There is also a large amount of armor and various ordnance, which is also enough for the replacement and replenishment of his battalion in a short period of time, so that I don't have to supply him with military supplies in the near future. ... Junhou, Mi Zhu, this has relieved a lot of pressure on the county government."

"Zhongren also wrote a military report to me about this matter. Mi Zhu not only sent a large amount of supplies to Zhongren, but also donated the county town of Qu to Zhongren."

"Really? I don't know about this."

Chen Qun was in charge of military supplies, and he only had to supply the military supplies of Xun Cheng and Xu Zhong. He was busy with everything, so most of the time he didn't care about the military intelligence reports on the front line.

Chen Qun remembered something and said, "I almost forgot to report to Junhou: When I just entered the mansion, I met a military official at the city gate asking to see Junhou. I asked him what was going on, and he said that Chen Deng had arrived."

"Oh? Chen/Yuanlong is here? Where is it now?"

"It must have entered the city."

"Zhicai, Wenruo, Changwen, let's go, let's go out to meet him."

Xun Yu said with a smile: "I heard that Chen/Yuanlong is here, how happy the prince is!"

"Wen Ruo, if you want to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, you can't just conquer Xuzhou. You also need the support of local scholars in Xuzhou. Chen's family belongs to Xuzhou's crown clan, and Chen/Yuanlong is famous in Xuzhou. , if I can get the sincerity, it will be my help.”

Xi Zhi was Xun Zhen's most trusted advisor, Xun Yu was Xun Zhen's younger brother, and Chen Qun was Xun Zhen's wife and younger brother. These three were his own, so in front of the three of them, Xun Zhen had nothing to do with them. Concealed, he directly stated the reason why he went out to meet Chen Deng.

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "What Junhou said is very true. Chen/Yuanlong is not only famous, but also talented. If he can get this person to serve sincerely, he will indeed be able to help Junhou as soon as possible after taking down Xuzhou in the future. Settle the hearts of the people.”

Xun Zhen, Xi Zhicai and others left the lobby and came to the mansion gate, waiting for Chen Deng.

After a while, several rides came.

The first person, although wearing casual clothes, does not hide his heroic spirit, it is Chen Deng.

Xun Zhen greeted him with a big laugh, and said, "I'm already looking forward to seeing Hou Junzhi coming!"

Chen Deng dismounted in a hurry and was about to salute.

Xun Zhen grabbed it, looked up and down, and said with a smile, "I have to go to Pi, I don't like the counties, but I like you Chen/Yuanlong!" She asked, "Is it **** the road?"

Chen Deng replied respectfully: "General is wrong, and Deng dare not be. General Lao asks, it's not hard work."

"Go, talk to me in the mansion."

Xun Zhen held Chen Deng's hand, and the two walked in the front.

If Chen Deng, Xi Zhicai and others have met, Xun Zhen introduced them to each other.

After they had known each other, Chen Deng left the table, came to worship in the hall, and said to Xun Zhen, "Deng should have come to Guangling earlier to pay homage to the generals, but Huaipu and Huaiyin were just at the beginning of Ping, and he needed to be reassured by the people, so it has been delayed until now. , I came to see the general. Please don't blame the general!"

"If it weren't for Qing and Qing father, I would have won Huaipu and Huaiyin without fighting. This is the merit of Qing and Qing father. Even if I don't win the city and comfort the people for me, it is too late for me to give you credit. How can I blame you? Please get up and take a seat."

"Yes."

Chen Deng got up, returned to the seat and sat down.

Xun Zhen asked, "How are the scholars and people in Huaipu and Huaiyin cities now?"

"Shihao returns to his heart, and all the people are determined."

"Okay! I knew that with you, Chen/Yuanlong, these two counties would be settled easily."

"The lord and the marquis are praised, and the talent of Dou Shao is ashamed and dare not take it."

"I heard your Chen/Yuanlonghuhai arrogance, why are you so polite now?"

"Instead of the ceremony, the general Tianwei is the real commander, so Deng was trembling and didn't dare to say much."

Xun Zhen laughed and said, "What general Tianwei, don't flatter me. ... This is not what you, Chen/Yuanlong, are."

After laughing and talking for a long time, Xun Zhen's face changed, and he said to Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, I have something for you to do, I wonder if you dare to answer?"

"General, please order."

"I would like to invite you into Tan County to persuade Tao Gongzu to surrender for me. ... Do you dare to go?"

Chen Deng said calmly, "Since it's the general's order, wouldn't Deng obey?"

Xun Zhen stared at Chen Deng, and seeing him sitting in a safe position, as if nothing had happened, he complimented: "Okay! This is Huhai's heroic Chen/Yuanlong!"

Chen Deng was Tao Qian's official. He not only surrendered Xun Zhen, but also sacrificed the cities of Huaipu and Huaiyin. He thought that Tao Qian would definitely hold a grudge against him, and if at this time, he would persuade Tao Qian to surrender for Xun Zhen. , I can't say, Tao Qian was annoyed and would behead him on the spot, but in the face of such a danger that may exist, Chen Deng's face was as usual, if he was a hero.

Xun Zhen sighed and said, "Yuanlong, I know that if you go to persuade Tao Gongzu to surrender, you may encounter danger, but why do you still have this request? Do you know the reason?"

Chen Deng replied: "I don't know, please show me the general."

"New news: Yuan Benchu ​​represented Zhou Ang as the prefect of Yuzhou. I expected Zhou Ang to send troops to the south in a few days. At that time, Sun Yuzhou might ask me for help, and I should save him. Therefore, I am eager to take The war in Xuzhou is over to relieve my worries."

Chen Deng was extremely smart. Hearing Xun Zhen's words, he not only immediately understood the reason why Xun Zhen was eager to persuade Tao Qian to surrender, but by analogy, he thought of something else.

He said: "When Zhou Ang raised his troops south, if the general wanted to help Sun Yuzhou, he not only needed to end the war in Xuzhou first, but also needed to do another thing in advance."

"What's the matter?"

"It's Zang Ba and Xue Li. If these two people don't make preparations and handle them properly, when the general sends troops to help Sun Yuzhou, the two of them may cause internal chaos."

"What's your best plan?"

"From the humble view, it seems that there are three feasible strategies."

"Please speak quickly."

"Choose a competent official, rule Langya, cut off Mount Tai, and use the weak to dominate Zang. This is a strategy."

Chen Deng's first strategy coincides with Yin De.

Xun Zhen nodded and asked, "What about the second strategy?"

"Exalting Zang tyrants, transferring and conferring higher positions, and restraining them, these two strategies are also."

After Zang Ba is down, he must be promoted to win over him. This is the meaning of the title.

"What is the third policy?"

"Setting up the commanders of Langya and Pengcheng, setting up generals to enter the town, and suppressing the momentum of Zang Ba and Xue Li, these three strategies are also ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yuanlong's high strategy, I should follow this line!"

The conversation in the hall was very pleasant, and it was not dark.

When Chen Deng was about to leave, he went to live in the annex outside the mansion. Xun Zhen kept him and said with a smile, "Yuanlong, you know that I have been waiting for Qing to come! For Hou Qing, I specially prepared a bed for Qing to hang it. No, just wait for Qing to come and then put it down, so that I can share the bed with Qing and talk all night!"

Xun Zhen is imitating the story of Chen Fan's treatment of Gao Shi.

When Chen Fan was the prefect of Le'an, there was a noble man named Zhou Qi in the county. The county governors before and after invited him, but he ignored him. Only Chen Fan could invite him. In order to show respect for Zhou Qi, Chen Fan called him by his name instead of his name, and specially prepared a couch for him, which he used exclusively for his own use, and hung the couch when he left. The origin of the allusion to "hanging couch".

Chen Deng was also the one who knew the story of Chen Fan. Seeing that Xun Zhen compared him to Zhou Qiu, he was waiting for him. He was originally a heroic man, so he would not refuse at the moment. He ate dinner with Xun Zhen, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun, etc., and went to the back house with Xun Zhen, entered the room together, and slept on the same bed. , It turned out to be chatting all night, until the rooster called dawn.
