Han Dao world

Yang Biao smiled wryly.

His views are similar to Mrs. Yuan's, so he is worried.

Most of the old officials were slow to respond, but they didn't realize their own slowness. This was the biggest crisis.

The emperor is not in a hurry, maybe because he knows that these veterans are too old to change, and it is useless to worry, so he can only pin his hopes on the young people.

Such as Zhuge Liang, such as his son Yang Xiu.

Even the generation of Xun Yu and Liu Ba may not be among the expectations of the emperor.

The kingly way he wants, what kind of kingly way is it?

-

After Yuan Shu stayed here for a few days, the novelty soon disappeared, and he felt inconvenient instead.

Xingji practiced every day, and the drums and horns sounded early in the morning, so he didn't even want to sleep in.He had nothing to do when he got up, Huang Yi, Yuan Quan and others had their own affairs, he stayed in the camp alone, he didn't even have anyone to talk to, he was so idle that he was like maggots.

After staying up for two days, just as he was considering whether to ask to resign from Luoyang, Huang Yi said that he was going to Liu Bei's army to check their preparations for the siege, and asked Yuan Shu if he was interested in going with him.

Yuan Shu shook his head repeatedly when he heard it.

He really wanted to go out to relax, but he didn't want to see Liu Bei.He had never looked directly at Liu Bei, now that Liu Bei has become a clan, and in the future he will be crowned king, but he has been reduced to this point, how can he have the face to see Liu Bei.

Huang Yi said, you don't want to see Liu Bei, and you don't want to see Chen Deng?

Upon hearing Chen Deng's name, Yuan Shu became energetic.

When he first arrived in Huainan, he wanted to invite Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, to join him, and he even kidnapped Chen Deng's younger brother, but Chen Gui refused, and the two turned against each other.

Chen Deng is now serving under Liu Bei's command, he is really helpless, and he has heard about the fact that he is quite frustrated.It's not bad to have a chance to look at Chen Deng and ridicule him.

Therefore, Yuan Shu agreed, and asked Yuan Heng to ask the emperor for an edict.

Hearing that Yuan Shu was bored in the camp, the emperor readily agreed.

Yuan Shu tidied up briefly, followed Huang Yi out of the camp, and went straight to Wei County.

Accompanying him were some students and technicians from the martial arts hall.The student went to practice with the senior Huang Yi, and the technician went to check Liu Bei's siege equipment to see if there was anything he could help.

Seeing this group of young people, Yuan Shu was inexplicably excited and took the initiative to chat with them.

Knowing Yuan Shu's identity, these students were a little nervous.But seeing Yuan Shu beaming and spitting, he didn't look like the Patriarch of the Four Generations and Three Dukes at all, but looked like a knight-errant who can be seen everywhere, and they felt a lot more relaxed.

They talked a lot, and they talked about Liu Bei unconsciously.

Unlike Yuan Shu, these students in the martial arts hall respected Liu Bei very much.

Not because of Liu Bei's clan status, but Liu Bei's record of sticking to Pengcheng.In the tactics course of the martial arts hall, the battle of Pengcheng was a battle example that was discussed and analyzed more.

Yuan Shu had also heard about the Battle of Pengcheng, but he didn't know the details.After listening to these students, I realized how dangerous it was at the beginning, and how difficult it was for Liu Bei to do this.

He quietly asked Huang Yi, are these true?Liu Bei's main forces defending Pengcheng are all recruits?

Huang Yi gave him an affirmative answer.At that time, Chen Deng's entire army was wiped out, and he was captured.Zhang Fei was defeated by Zhang Yun, and his entire army was almost wiped out.There are indeed not many people under Liu Bei's command, and they are all temporary recruits.

There are two important reasons why he was able to defend Pengcheng: one is the way of training soldiers taught by Guan Yu, and the other is the land reward provided by the Mi family.Relying on these two things, Liu Bei boosted morale and defended Pengcheng.

Yuan Shu pondered for a long time after listening. "Zimei, you missed one of the most important reasons."

"Also ask Uncle for advice."

"If it wasn't Benchu ​​who attacked the city, but Cao Mengde, the result of this battle would be completely different. Cao Mengde would attack at all costs, and would never give Liu Xuande a chance to train troops. Liu Xuande's success today is certainly due to his hard work. However, meeting such an opponent as Ben Chu is something that cannot be expected.”

Yuan Shu snorted. "This man, as long as there is a slight possibility of retreating, he will not go all out. Therefore, when we put our hopes on him, we decided that we will not succeed. What he is good at is the court, not the battlefield."

Chapter 876

Liu Bei was preparing to attack Wei County, and when he learned that Huang Yi brought students from the martial arts hall to practice, he was a little flattered and came out to greet him in person.

When he saw Yuan Shu, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't believe it.

Yuan Shu laughed loudly, and stepped forward to salute. "Xuande, I heard that you have recovered your clan status, congratulations."

Liu Bei also came back to his senses, said a few polite words with a smile on his face, and then asked, "Has the Youzhou army come? Why haven't I heard any news yet?"

Yuan Shu was a little embarrassed and waved his hands again and again. "Youzhou's army is now under the control of Youyan Duhufu, and it should be in Hejian now. I'm here to report on my duties. I heard that Xuande is going to attack the city. I'm here to see it. Xuande, the battle of Pengcheng was well fought, and the Well done."

Liu Bei did not know, and replied politely: "Compared with Shijun's Lujiang battle, it is still a little inferior. Shooting Yan Liang before the battle and recovering Huainan in one fell swoop would have a great impact on the morale of the Jizhou army. If it were not for Shijun's great victory in the front , The morale of our army is greatly boosted, and we may not be able to defend Pengcheng."

Yuan Shu laughed out loud.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Huang Yi asked Liu Bei to introduce the current situation.

Liu Bei was full of energy, and explained the current preparations one by one.He knew that Yuan Shu was an idiot, and the battles were all based on chaos, but Huang Yi was the first student in the martial arts hall. He had received Jia Xu's teachings, and he had fought with Lu Bu in front of the fortress. His knowledge was far higher than ordinary people.

Even if Fazheng mentioned Huang Yi, he still had to be modest.

With Huang Yi's assistance, the battle to attack Wei County might be much easier.

Judging from the current situation, if he wanted to take down Wei County, the casualties would be far beyond what he could bear.

After listening to Liu Bei's introduction, Huang Yi didn't say anything. He just called everyone to discuss and finally came to a conclusion.

Liu Bei's arrangements were very thoughtful, but the terrain of Wei County was so great that there was nothing to be tricked about, so it was destined to be a tough battle.If you want to reduce casualties, you can only find a way on the siege equipment.

After all, Wei County is a county seat, and it is not a strategically important place. The city defense is not strong, and the facilities for temporary reinforcement are limited.If targeted siege equipment can be manufactured, it can still play a certain role.

After hearing this, Liu Bei was both happy and worried.

The joy is that Fazheng and Chen Deng's deployment is very dedicated, but the worry is that this battle is tough, even if Wei County can be won in the end, casualties are inevitable.

In fact, he understood Huang Yi's implication. There was no need to fight this battle. It was better to encircle and not attack like the emperor.

He also knew this, but he couldn't do it, so he could only pretend not to understand.

Huang Yi also knew this, so he didn't say anything at all.

He just brought his juniors here as trainees, not to help Liu Bei make decisions.

-

When Liu Bei had a headache for attacking Wei County, the trial match also had a headache.

He originally wanted to take the initiative to attack, break the imperial court all the way first, and boost morale.Before the plan was implemented, Liu Bei rushed over aggressively.If it weren't for Wei County's steadfast defense, Liu Bei might have already reached the city.

Although Liu Bei was dragged in Wei County and was unable to attack Yecheng for the time being, Zhang Xi was also restrained, and the Youzhou Army rushing towards Hejian was no longer realistic.

The only chance seems to be the Shangdang County soldiers in the west.

But to his disappointment, Zhong Yao seemed to have no plan to send troops at all, and there was no news from the direction of Xishan.

There was no exception in the Hejian direction. Youzhou Army and Youyan Duhufu remained silent for a long time.

The weirdness of the situation once again exceeded their expectations, making him at a loss.

At this time, he received Chen Deng's letter of persuasion.

Chen Deng's persuasion letter is actually nothing new, it's nothing more than those clichés, and the literary talent is far inferior to Chen Lin's essay.

However, the review read another meaning.

The emperor planned to use this battle to force Dutian in Jizhou, and use this to prove that Dutian is beneficial to the country and the people.He planned to use the harvest of Dutian in Jizhou to maintain the consumption of the war and avoid increasing taxes in the Central Plains.

This made the audition very uneasy.

One of the reasons why he insisted on sticking to Yecheng was that the 10,000+ army of the imperial court would consume a lot of money and food to besiege the city, and Jizhou could not provide so much money and food.

If the war in Jizhou does not affect the Central Plains, will the Central Plains scholar-bureaucrats still care about the life and death of Jizhou?

Maybe you still care, but that's all.

As long as their own interests are not harmed, those talents will not take the risk and jump out to become an enemy of the court, and they may even take advantage of the chaos to take a share of it.

How to do?

Trials are at a loss.

"A Weng." Shenying walked in quickly.

Shenpei immediately straightened his back and looked at Shenying sternly. "What is it?"

Shenying was taken aback, quickly slowed down, and saluted respectfully. "Aon, someone just sent a letter."

"Someone?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Shenying's face. "Yes, the letter suddenly appeared on my desk, but I don't know who sent it. I looked at it, and it was of great importance, so I sent it immediately." He sent the letter to the judge with both hands, and reminded : "I've checked it, it's not poisonous."

The judge took a look at Shenying and snorted.

The situation in the city was tense these two days, and Shenying was a little nervous.However, thinking that someone can quietly put the letter on the desk of the trial, it seems that it is necessary to be cautious.

The judge picked up the book knife on the case, opened the letter, read it again, his eyes narrowed immediately, and then he laughed again.

"I thought they didn't care, but they were also afraid of death."

Shenying didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he could only pretend not to hear.

The letter is not signed, but the content is very straightforward.As long as the trial match can guarantee the safety of the Ruying people, they can win a chance for the trial match.

Shen's land and house in Yin'an have been confiscated by the court—the new county magistrate is Cao Cao's son Cao Ang, and the copy is very clean—as the chief culprit, Shen Pei is also doomed. All he can hope for is to keep a few descendants Life, so that the three clans will not be implicated.

This point, Ruying people can do it.

The examiner put down the book knife, wiped his hands with the silk again, and then threw the silk aside with a look of disgust.

"Do you trust these people?"

Shen Ying swallowed her saliva, glanced at Shen Pei secretly, and nodded cautiously.

He naturally believed in the strength of these Ruying people, otherwise he would not have brought a letter to find a matchmaker.Things have come to this point, but anyone with a little common sense can guess the ending.He is still young, and he doesn't want to follow the trial and assignment to the dark. If there is a chance, he certainly wants to seize it.

But such words cannot be said clearly, otherwise it will violate filial piety.

Seeing Shenying's cowardly appearance, Shenpei was very disappointed.The recent performance of this son, whom he had placed high hopes on, was really unsatisfactory.It is said that the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the loyal ministers are seen in the stern. Before the war started, this son was in chaos and hesitated. It can be seen that he is not a person who can achieve great things.

Such descendants cannot bear the heavy responsibility of family revival, and keeping them will not help.

"Chen Changwen, please come and let him see whose handwriting it is."

Chapter 877

Chen Qun came soon.

He recognized the handwriting at first sight of the letter. "This is Simpi's handwriting, there is no mistake."

The judge frowned even tighter.

Simpi's handwriting, without any concealment, is this a deliberate demonstration?

"Where is he? Shangdang, or Hebei?"

Chen Qun didn't answer immediately, but read the letter seriously.He read it twice, then put the letter on the case, folded his hands in his sleeves, and remained silent for a while.

"Is Lord Shen going to let Ruying people be buried with him?" He raised his head and looked at Shen Pei quietly.

The judge laughed. "If the city is broken and everything is burned, it will not be spared." He looked indifferent. "The misfortune started with the people of Ruying, how can I, the people of Jizhou, die alone?"

Chen Qun sighed. "Mr. Shen, although there are differences between Ruying people and Jizhou people, they are just different ideas and methods, and there is no essential difference. The fight between snipe and clam can only benefit the fisherman. The destruction of jade and stone is in the hands of the court. The so-called Lovers are hurt, enemies are quick, and a gentleman will not do it."

The judge looked at Chen Qun with a smile, and raised his chin slightly.

"I understand all these principles, but the Ruying people who besieged Jizhou may not understand. Where is Simpi?"

Chen Qun lowered his head helplessly, looking at the letter on the case.

"In the Youyan Dufu Mansion. Xun You is deeply appreciated by He Yong, and he knows a lot of rangers. It is easy to send a letter. However, what he did was to make us suspect each other, mess ourselves up, and judge You must not be fooled."

The judge's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to stroke his beard, without saying a word.

Shenying's expression changed.

There were indeed quite a few rangers in his camp, and it was not easy to find someone to deliver letters for Simpi, but it would cause uneasiness and affect morale.

When Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, there were mainly two types of people who followed him: one was party members represented by Ruying people, and the other was rangers from all over the world.

The party members regard themselves as moral and righteous, they think they are superior to others, and they want to control the power.Most of the rangers are warriors and have become the backbone of the army, but they don't fight for power like the Ruying people.

So the Ruying people and the Jizhou people were in conflict, but You Xia'er didn't get involved, and many of them still served as generals at various levels in the army.If you want to clear them all, the combat power of the Jizhou army will inevitably be greatly damaged, and it will collapse without a fight.

Simpi used this method to convey the news, most likely because he wanted him to cut off his own brother.

Cold sweat broke out on Shen Ying's forehead, and she looked at Shen Pei.
