320 Rescue Beihai 2
Gan Ning and Zhang Chuang brought more than a dozen personal soldiers into Beihai City. The other soldiers were stationed outside the city. Of course, Kong Rong asked his subordinates to send a large amount of wine and food to the Lu Ning army camp. Gan Ning and Zhang Chuang saw Kong Rong, Gan Ning said: "Mr. Kong, I came to rescue Beihai on the order of my lord. The Yellow Turban Army thieves have also been eliminated. We are here to say goodbye to the Lord."
Kong Rong said: "How did Lord Lu know that I am in trouble in Beihai?"
Gan Ning said: "My Lord Kong, my lord has long paid attention to the departure of the Yellow Turban Army thieves on Guan Hai's journey. They were wandering from Jizhou, and our army has been chasing Guan Hai and his thieves on Guan Hai's journey. But we escaped from our circle. Our army obtained the permission of the lord and later rescued Beihai."
Kong Rong also felt unbelievable after hearing this, but after all, Beihai was helped to help them solve the situation. You can't ask for help, just invite Gan Ning and Zhang Chuang to the official residence to hold a banquet for them. Kong Rong said in the seat: "Then please ask the two generals to go back and I will thank Lord Lu."
Zhang Chuang said: "You are polite. Lord Kong and my lord have a trade agreement. Rescuing Lord is also what we should do. Only Lord Kong, those captives of the Yellow Turban Army, are actually poor people. They were tempted by the Yellow Turban Army to join the Yellow Turban Army's team because they couldn't live and live. If Lord Kong could draw a piece of land for them to farm and place them well, there would be no Yellow Turban Army."
After Kong Rong heard this, I had the money and food to feed the Yellow Turban Army, but it was difficult to refuse directly, so he said, "Or why you let them go to Donglai to settle down. There is no one there to manage it now. I will give them a thousand stones of food, and the future will depend on them." Kong Rong also had a little selfish intention. If we placed these prisoners in Donglai, then if there is anything in Beihai in the future, we can get strong support from our army. Although he was not sure that our army would place these prisoners in Donglai, he would not bother to talk about it.
As Kong Rong said, Gan Ning and his friends immediately established a base in Donglai, which was something Lu Ning did not expect. Although this base was very small, it played a very important role in the future battles in Qingzhou. In this way, Lu Ning Changdao and Donglai formed a mutual cooperation trend. If a flying bear army was arranged in Donglai, the navy and the flying bear army would form a corner.
When Zhao Yu saw Gan Ning, although Zhang Chuang had only 5,000 troops, he had extremely strong combat power. He immediately asked the two of them for reinforcements to Xuzhou. Zhang Chuang said: "We also know that Xuzhou and Bingzhou also have a trade agreement, but we do not have the authorization of our lord. We dare not send troops to Xuzhou privately, otherwise we will be subject to military law. We cannot make the decision. Unless you have the order to ask our lord to send troops, you can only say sorry to you."
After hearing this, Kong Rong said, "I had contacted Lord Lu when the princes attacked Dong Zhuo. His soldiers had extremely strict military law. Now without Lord Lu's instructions, the two generals were not easy to send troops privately. If Lord Tao had thought of Lord Lu earlier, he should have written a letter to Lord Lu for help. It's too late now, so let's make other plans." Zhao Yu knew in his heart that without my instructions, he would definitely not be able to mobilize the army. Even if Gan Ning and Zhang Chuang were willing, that would not work.
After Gan Ning and Zhang Chuang led the army to escort the prisoners away, the next day, Liu Bei and his three brothers led 3,000 troops to Beihai. After inquiring, they realized that the siege of Beihai had been resolved. However, Kong Rong still warmly received him and introduced Zhao Yu to Liu Bei. Zhao Yu told Liu Bei that Zhang Kai killed Cao Song's family and told the current Cao Cao army that the city was burning the city and killing people. Wherever the army passed, corpses were everywhere, and the creatures were trampled into blood. Now Cao Cao's army is besieging Xuzhou for more than 200,000 troops, and I am a soldier who was ordered by Lord Tao to come and ask for help.
After hearing this, Liu Bei said, "Tao Gongzu is a kind gentleman. He would never have thought that he would suffer such an injustice. Then Cao Mengde was too unkind. Besides, even if it was a big deal, he could not massacre innocent people. This was a ruthless act."
Kong Rong immediately said, "Weide, you are a relative of the Han Dynasty. Now Cao Cao harms the people, relies on the strong and bullies the weak, and attacks others unscrupulously with heavy troops in his hands. What is the difference between this and rebellion? Why don't you go to Xuzhou with me to rescue?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei said, "I am not refusing, but I am a small number of soldiers and I am afraid I will be unable to resist Cao Cao's army."
Kong Rong said: "The reason why I want to send troops to rescue Tao Gongzu is that on the one hand, we have a very good relationship, and on the other hand, it is also for righteousness. I can't watch Cao Cao massacre the people of Xuzhou again, so how can we be worthy of the Han court? Do you not want to uphold justice? Do you have no sense of justice?"
After hearing Kong Rong's hearing, Liu Bei said, "Since that's the case, then my three brothers will lead their troops with Lord Kong to rescue Xuzhou."
Kong Rong was also very happy after hearing this, and immediately asked Zhao Yu to go back to Xuzhou to tell Tao Gongzu that we would then lead the army to rescue each other. However, Zhao Yu returned to Xuzhou and told Tao Qian that Kong Rong from Beihai had invited the three brothers Liu Bei to help him. Chen Yuanlong also replied that Tian Kai from Qingzhou was happy to lead the troops to rescue him. Tao Qian felt relieved.
It turned out that Kong Rong, Tian Kai and Liu Bei had three armies and horses. They were afraid that Cao Cao would be very powerful and dared not go forward easily. They just followed the mountain and did not dare to advance lightly. They studied the plan after observing.
When Cao Cao saw the arrival of the three reinforcements from Xuzhou, he also re-arranged the army to prevent Kong Rong, Tian Kai and Liu Bei from attacking his back. Cao Cao did not dare to continue to attack the city.
Kong Rong said: "Cao Cao's troops reached more than 200,000, and his power was strong. In addition, Cao Cao was good at using troops. We should not act rashly. We should first observe the movement and the situation, and then advance according to the situation."
Liu Bei said: "I'm afraid there is no food in the city and it's difficult to persevere. I want Chang Chang to help Lord Kong. My third brother Zhang Fei and I rushed to Xuzhou City, and then went to Xuzhou to meet Tao Envoy and discuss in detail."
Kong Rong was overjoyed after hearing this and met Tian Kai to take the horn. On that day, Xuande, Zhang Fei led three thousand men and horses into the edge of Cao Bingzhai. While he was walking, a drum sounded in the village, and the horse army and infantry were like tides and waves, and they were coming out. The generals at the forefront were Yu Jin and shouted: "Where are the madmen! Go there?"
When Zhang Fei saw Yu Jin, he didn't say much nonsense and directly rushed towards Yu Jin. The two horses intersected and fought for several rounds. Liu Bei led three thousand soldiers to kill him with a double-stranded sword. Yu Jin could not resist Zhang Fei, a fierce general. They were not of the same level as the general. Yu Jin was one level lower than Zhang Fei. Yu Jin could only defeat him. Zhang Fei rode a horse forward and chased him directly to the city of Xuzhou.
Tao Qian on the wall of Xuzhou saw the red flag under the city, and the "Pingyuan Liu Xuande" was on the banner. Tao Qian hurriedly ordered the door to be opened. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led 3,000 troops into the city, and Tao Qian personally took Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to the government office. After everyone gave the ceremony, Tao Qian held a banquet to entertain Liu Bei and his party. Seeing that Liu Bei was majestic and open-minded, Tao Qian was overjoyed, so he ordered Zhao Yu to take out the Xuzhou official seal and hand it over to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei panicked and said in surprise: "Mr. Tao, what do you mean?"
Tao Qian said: "Today, the chaos is in chaos and the court is in a slump. Xiande, you are a relative of the Han Dynasty. You should do your best to support the Han Dynasty. I am old and incompetent, so I would rather give in to Xuzhou. Please do not refuse. I will write a letter and report to the court. I think my report should be approved by the court."
Liu Bei left the seat and said again: "Although Liu Bei was born in the Han Dynasty, his achievements were small and poor, he was not very competent as a prime minister in Pingyuan. Today, my three brothers led troops to rescue Xuzhou, for the sake of justice, so they came to help the Lord. Now that the Lord said this, do you doubt that Liu Bei had the intention to annex Xuzhou? Such behavior and thoughts made me feel very uncomfortable and uneasy."
After hearing this, Tao Qian said, "Virtuality, this is really my heartfelt thought. Don't worry too much." Liu Bei, a hypocrite, gave in to each other again and again, but he refused to accept it.
Zhao Yu said: "Now that the troops are at the city, we should discuss strategies to retreat to the enemy first. After Cao Cao retreats, we will discuss the matter of giving in to Xuzhou."
Liu Bei said: "I am now writing a book to Cao Cao, and I will first reconcile the affairs of your two families. If Cao Cao does not obey, it will not be too late for us to fight with him."
However, Cao Cao was in the army's tent and discussed matters with the generals. The guards came to report that a war letter had arrived in Xuzhou. After Cao Cao opened the letter, he found out that it was Liu Bei's. Liu Bei's letter said: "Bei was appointed as the king Yan from outside the pass, and then he was one of the heavens, and he was not in the future. The person who respected his father Cao Hou, but was actually killed because Zhang Kai was unkind and was not a crime of Tao Gongzu. Now the Yellow Turban was left behind and disturbed outside. Dong Zhuo's remaining party was entrenched inside. I hope that the Minggong would first be the urgent needs of the court, and then private grudges; withdraw the troops of Xuzhou to save the national crisis: Xuzhou is very lucky, and the world is very lucky!"
After reading the book, Cao Cao shouted, "Who is Liu Bei? He dares to persuade me with books! Besides, there is a sarcastic meaning of sarcasm to me!" Just as Cao Cao was furious, Xun Yu sent a quick horse to report that Lu Bu had attacked Yanzhou and occupied Puyang, with only three places in Juancheng, Dong'a and Fan County. These three places were still defended by Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, and the rest were destroyed. Cao Ren fought many times and could not win. He hoped that the lord would lead the army back to settle the verdict.
It turned out that after Lu Bu was urging Li, Zhang Ji, Guo Si and others out of Chang'an City, Lu Bu went out of Wu Pass and surrendered to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu felt that Lu Bu was unstable, and staying might be unfavorable to him, so he refused to surrender Lu Bu. Lu Bu went to Hanoi Wang Kuang. Wang Kuang accepted Lu Bu, but was attacked by Lu Ning's army. Lu Bu killed Wang Kuang in Hanoi City, trying to seize Wang Kuang's military power. After Wang Kuang's death, Lu Bu could not completely control the soldiers of Hanoi for a while. Many soldiers in the city were very disgusted with Lu Bu's character, so soldiers mutiny occurred in Hanoi City. The soldiers in Hanoi City opened the city gate and welcomed Lu Ning's army into the city. Lu Bu had no choice but to surrender to Yuan Shao in Jizhou. No one under Yuan Shao agreed to accept it.
He took Lu Bu, but Yuan Shao felt that Lu Bu was brave and could use his courage to fight against the attack of Lu Ning's army. Yuan Shao still kept him. After Lu Bu stayed, he thought he was successful, so he arrogantly arrogated Yuan Shao's soldiers, which almost mutiny. In addition, the strategists firmly opposed accepting Lu Bu, saying that Lu Bu had harmed his adoptive father Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, his biological mother and Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang. Leaving him would only cause disaster to Xiao Yun, and it would be better to get rid of him earlier. After Yuan Shao heard this, he felt scared and wanted to kill Lu Bu. At this time, Pang Shu secretly hid Lu Bu's wife and children in Chang'an City and returned it to Lu Bu. After Li Kuang and Guo Si found out, he killed Pang Shu, wrote a book to Yuan Shao, and asked Yuan Shao to kill Lu Bu.
Lu Bu therefore abandoned Yuan Shao and surrendered to Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao led Chen Gong to meet Zhang Miao. Chen Gong said to Zhang Miao: "When today the fall is broken, heroes are rising, and the situation of the princes fighting for hegemony has also been formed. You are upright and a prefect, so why not be controlled by others? Don't you feel pitiful? Now Cao Cao leads a large army to attack Xuzhou, and the land of Yanzhou is completely empty; and Lu Bu is also a warrior of the world. If you and Lu Bu start together and attack Yanzhou together, then he will be able to dominate." Zhang Miao was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately ordered Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou and attack Puyang.
Xi Zhicai immediately said, "Lord, our army in Xuzhou can no longer attack. If Yanzhou is captured by Lu Bu and the Tartars, then we will be homeless. At that time, Tao Qian and Lu Bu in Xuzhou echo each other, then we will be in trouble." When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately asked Xiahou Yuan and Yu Jin to lead a 50,000 vanguard army to take the lead. Cao Cao also led the army to retreat to the verdict, and wrote a letter to Liu Bei and sold his favor to him.
