- "Xu Huang and Guan Yu have an old relationship. After all, Le Jin is not from the Cao clan. I still believe these two people when they say they surrendered to Liu Bei, but this Cao Ren" Pang Tong smiled and said nothing more.
Pang Tong's implication was very clear. Cao Ren was Cao Cao's younger brother and the number one general in the Cao clan. He would not be able to surrender to anyone who surrendered to Liu Bei.
And the Bingzhou Army is now headed by Cao Ren. If Cao Ren doesn't surrender to Liu Bei, no one else can even think about it.
Yan Liang shook his head and sneered: "Military advisor, I think you are wrong this time. I think others may not surrender, but Cao Ren will definitely choose to surrender."
"Why is your Majesty so sure of this?" Pang Tong didn't believe it.
Yan Liang said slowly: "Cao Ren has a deep view of the overall situation. He should know that if Liu Bei does not help Cao Cao, Cao Cao will die, and the foundation of the Cao family will also be destroyed. In this case, based on Cao Ren's overall view , how could you not endure the humiliation and choose to surrender to Liu Bei in exchange for Liu Bei relieving Cao Cao? "
Pang Tong was deeply moved by Yan Liang's profound analysis.
However, Pang Tong pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "What the king said is not unreasonable, but I still don't believe that Cao Ren will surrender to Liu Bei."
"If the military advisor doesn't believe it, you might as well make a bet with me." Yan Liang was drunk together, which seemed like a game.
Pang Tong knew Yan Liang¡¯s temperament and did not dare to spoil his interest, so he smiled and asked, ¡°But I don¡¯t know how the king wants to gamble.¡±
Yan Liang thought about it seriously and said, "Let's do this. If I win, I will punish you with three drinks. If I lose, I will give you three beauties."
"This." Pang Tong smiled bitterly, "According to the king's gambling method, that minister seems to have taken advantage no matter whether he wins or loses."
Yan Liang laughed loudly and asked him if he dared to bet.
Of course Pang Tong did not dare to disobey, he just smiled bitterly and said that it is better to obey orders than to be respectful.
The bet between the monarch and his ministers had been concluded, and Yan Liang said no more, laughed and hugged the beauties on his left and right, and returned to the palace.
After a pleasant night, the first thing Yan Liang did when he woke up the next day was to issue a royal order, ordering Huang Zhong to lead 20,000 troops to the north, join Wen Chou's 30,000 troops, and attack Linfen with 50,000 troops.
Since Yan Liang had a premonition that Cao Ren might surrender to Liu Bei, he wanted to capture Jinyang as soon as possible and eliminate Cao Ren's Bingzhou Army to prevent his worries from becoming a reality.
Huang Zhong's army set off and arrived at the Pingyang front line within a few days. He and Wen Chou launched a fierce attack on the Linfen front line.
But Bingzhou is mostly in the present-day Shanxi province. The state is located between mountains. Except for the relatively open terrain in the south, the terrain becomes more steep as you go north, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Generals Xu Huang and Le Jin, with their backs to Linfen City, relied on the dangers of Taihang Mountain and Fen River to block twice the Chu army's mad attack.
Yan Liang, who was stationed in Anyi, could not sit idly by as the forwards could not attack for a long time. He rested for a few days and saw that the energy of the three armies had almost recovered, so he decided to mobilize all his troops and march north.
On this day, all the armies have been assembled. In the palace hall, Yan Liang is fully clothed and making final arrangements. The soldiers on the left and right are already packing their things in a hurry.
At this moment, Zhou Cang hurried in, cupped his hands and said: "Please report to your Majesty, Jinyang will provide you with the latest information."
"Read it." Yan Liang drank while looking at the map.
"Jinyang is reporting urgently. Cao Ren has led Cao's army in Bingzhou to surrender to Liu Bei. Liu Bei has led an army of 60,000 to Bingzhou from Jingxing Pass and will arrive in Jinyang City in the near future."
This loud voice could be heard clearly throughout the lobby.
The hall, which was originally busy with discussions, suddenly became silent, and everyone's faces showed surprise.
Pang Tong was the most shocked. His surprised eyes couldn't help but look at Yan Liang, and in his shock, he was even more amazed.
Only Yan Liang was as calm as water, and only sneered: "Military advisor, it seems that I have won this bet, but I hope that you are the one who wins."
Pang Tong came back from his surprise, raised his hands and sighed: "The king's ability to recognize people is truly unparalleled by my ministers. I really didn't expect that Cao Ren could make such a choice."
"There is no need to admire this king, military advisor. Let's think about how to deal with this new situation."
As soon as these words came out, the quiet atmosphere in the lobby was immediately broken, and everyone in the civil and military circles started discussing.
Pang Tong pondered for a moment, then said: "For the current plan, the only way is to attack Linfen with a large army. If we can capture Pingyang County before Liu Bei goes south, then Taiyuan County, the heart of Bingzhou, will be under the threat of our army. In this way, Only as much as possibleIt can weaken Liu Bei's benefits from it. "
Yan Liang nodded and said boldly: "Even if Liu Bei wins Bingzhou, what's the big deal? How can I still be afraid of him? Send my order quickly, and the army will march towards Linfen!"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Outline the more than 80,000 Chu troops gathered in Anyi, and immediately marched north along the Fen River toward Linfen City, the gateway to Pingyang County.
¡¡
Taiyuan County, Jinyang City.
On the main road ten miles east of the city, Cao Renzheng led more than a hundred Bingzhou civil and military officers to stand by the road, looking eastward.
Not long after, a horse came from Dong Jue Chen, and it was Hao Zhao.
"General, King Yan's king is coming soon." Hao Zhao no longer dared to call Liu Bei by his name, but called him King Yan.
Hearing Hao Zhao call him "King Yan", Cao Ren suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Thinking back to the beginning, whenever Cao Ren mentioned Liu Bei, he usually meant him as a "big-eared thief" or "a man who weaves mats and sells shoes". The best thing to do is to call him by his first name.
Now, Liu Bei is about to arrive. Cao Ren feels uncomfortable when he thinks that as a surrendered minister, he will respectfully call Liu Bei "King".
"It's just that the awkwardness is awkward, it's the fact. No matter what, Cao Ren can only face it bravely.
On the east road, dust gradually rose, and from a distance, a large group of soldiers and horses were seen galloping towards here.
Not long after, the flags of the Yan army came, covering the sky and the sun. After a while, Cao Ren could already see Liu Bei's huge flying royal flag.
Cao Ren's mood suddenly became tense, and he felt like a light on his back, making him feel more and more uncomfortable.
Not long after, more than a thousand Youyan cavalry arrived first. A moment later, Liu Bei, wearing golden armor, slowly arrived under the protection of all his soldiers.
The most difficult moment has finally arrived.
Cao Ren took a deep breath, bowed his head and walked forward, leading a group of surrendered ministers and bowing to greet them.
Liu Bei immediately recognized Cao Ren at a glance.
At that time, he had surrendered to Cao Cao, and he was familiar with all the civil servants and generals under Cao Cao, not to mention Cao Ren, the first general of the Cao family.
Seeing Cao Ren bowing in front of the horse, Liu Bei, who was sitting high on the horse, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and an imperceptible sneer suddenly passed over him.
Once upon a time, it was the ordinary Cao generals headed by Cao Ren who killed Liu Bei until he suffered repeated defeats and fled to Hebei in despair.
Now, Cao Ren stood respectfully in front of him and bowed his head to him. Liu Bei could hardly contain his ecstasy and laughed loudly.
If it were Yan Liang, he would definitely not hide his pride at this moment. He could laugh as loudly as he wanted, regardless of whether others would say he was a "villain's ambition".
Liu Bei was different. He quickly stopped his proud sneer, and his gray face instantly changed to an expression of surprise. He jumped off the horse in a panic, rushed forward in a few steps, and personally helped Cao Ren up.
"Why should you be so polite when you are filial? Please get up quickly." Liu Bei helped Cao Ren up with his own hands, and also very considerately wiped the dust off Cao Ren's clothes.
"The big-eared thief is best at buying people's hearts with false feelings and righteousness. You must not be fooled by his benevolent and righteous face."
When Cao Ren saw Liu Bei's enthusiastic expression, his mind instantly recalled what Cao Cao had said.
But for some reason, he knew that Liu Bei's sincerity was staged, but his miraculous acting skills unknowingly made Cao Ren put aside a lot of worries and become even closer to Liu Bei.
"My minister, Cao Ren, was forced by Yan's thieves and had no choice but to surrender to the king. I would like to ask that the king accept me and forgive me for my sins." Cao Ren bowed his head and apologized.
The crime he mentioned back then naturally refers to his repeated defeats of Liu Bei in Xuzhou.
But Liu Bei laughed and said calmly: "At that time, everyone was their own master. How can I remember it? Besides, I have long admired Zi Xiao's military skills. Now that Zi Xiao has returned, I am really more powerful than a tiger." ¡±
"Your Majesty has a broad mind, and I admire you greatly." Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed hurriedly.
Liu Bei comforted Cao Ren again, and announced on the spot that Cao Ren would be made the General of Zhengnan, Xu Huang would be the General of Pingnan, Le Jin would be the General of Zhennan, and the remaining Cao generals Hao Zhao and Niu Jin who had surrendered would all be promoted and given titles. .
Liu Bei named Cao Ren the General of the Southern Conquest. His official position was second only to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals from all directions. His honor and favor surprised even Cao Ren.
After being flattered, Cao Ren's uncomfortable mood dissipated more and more, and he thanked Liu Bei again on the spot.
? ?Bei stroked Cao Ren's shoulder and said, "I have deep faith in you, Zixiao, and I hope that Zixiao will show his heart to me. We, the monarchs and ministers, are of one mind and will go south together to give the Yan thief a head-on blow."
Cao Ren was waiting for these words, and immediately said with emotion: "I am willing to be the vanguard for the king, and I will kill Yan Liang with my own hands to repay the kindness of the king."
Liu Bei was so ambitious that he immediately ordered Zhao Yun to stay in Jinyang City to guard Jinyang City. He then joined Cao's army who had surrendered, and immediately the army went south and rushed to Linfen.
The news that Liu Bei's army was going south spread quickly to the south.
A few days later, Yan Liang, who was on his way north, had received information about Liu Bei's southward journey from Jinyang.
This news also caused a lot of discussion among the Chu army.
"This big-eared thief is always good at taking advantage. Now he has taken Bingzhou for nothing without spending a single soldier. I think he will secretly laugh when he dreams." Yan Liang sneered.
Pang Tong, who was next to him, disapproved and said: "Things obtained for free often do not last long. Liu Bei thinks he has picked up Bingzhou for nothing. Sooner or later he will have to spit it all out."
Wow!
Yan Liang tore up the silk book in his hand and threw the pieces into Huang Zhong.
He whipped up his horse whip and said loudly: "The whole army is on the move. Let's continue heading north. Liu Bei likes to dream, so I want to wake him up from his dream." (To be continued.
