After Xun You and Yu Jin were captured, the performance of the two was completely different. Yu Jin took the initiative to ask for surrender at the time, but Xun You refused to bow his head. Liu Xin decreed to release Xun You and send him back to his hometown Yingchuan, but he would beheaded to the public. ,
Jushou did not understand the result of such a disposal, but Liu Xin did not say, and he did not dare to ask more, so he had to comply with it.
In fact, Liu Xin has also carefully considered how to deal with these two people. Yu Jin is indeed a general and is also very proficient in martial arts, but he lacks one thing, that is, spine. Liu Xin hopes that his men can do it. Civil officials are not greedy for money, generals do not hesitate to die, and this is too banned. If it is a few years earlier, Liu Xin may still be too banned, and assign him a position, but Liu Xin is now full of talents and warriors are like Clouds are indeed no less than banned,
However, Xun You is different. He belongs to the Xun family of Yingchuan. Yingchuan Academy is the property of the Xun family. Although there are not many Xun family members in Yingchuan now, many of Xun You’s family members are officials under Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Liu Since Xin occupied Yingchuan, he has been taking good care of the Xun family. One of the reasons is that he and Xun Yu had a relationship with Xun Yu in his early years. Of course, this is only a superficial reason. The deeper reason lies in Liu Xin. I hope to use these talents from the Xun family for my own use,
The so-called Wenzhi Wugong, although the world is chaotic, but peace is just around the corner. In the future, to govern the world, more people who are proficient in internal affairs such as Xun You and Xun Yu will be needed. Without the help of Xun Yu and Xun You, Cao Cao would have been helped by the grain and grass. The situation is so overwhelmed, how can we compete with Yuan Shao for so long? Such talents are urgently needed to govern the country in the future, and Liu Xin believes that as long as Xun You returns to Yingchuan and sees the tremendous changes in his hometown, he His thoughts will definitely change accordingly,
At noon of the same day, the Chang'an vegetable market was full of people. Yu Jin, Chen Qun and the soldier were taken to the practice field. In order to prevent the prisoners from saying things that should not be said before the execution, the mouths of all three were stuffed with walnuts and cloths were used. The bar was tightened, and only a whining sound could be made from the depths of the throat. However, the expressions of these three people were different, so Jin was full of annoyance and regret. Chen Qun was angry, and only the soldier looked calm. ,
With a "time is up," Supervisor Jushou threw a fire stick, and the executioner raised the ghost head knife, and Yu Jin and the soldier landed on their heads. However, Yu Jin's head was quickly picked up by the officers. , Sent to the city gate to show the public, while the soldier’s head and body were confined into a thin-skinned coffin and sent to a chaotic grave outside the city for burial. Of course, no one knew. After nightfall, the soldier’s coffin would be transported to In Xiangyang, the martyrs' cemetery buried in the south of the city, Chen Qun was the worst. He would not die until he was cut by the executioner for seventy-two dollars. If he died sooner, the executioner himself would be punished.
There were two former colleagues on the execution ground, but Xun You did not come to see Chen Qun and Yu Jin off, because he had already embarked on the journey south, along with him and Xun Yu’s family and a team of escorting officers and soldiers, in Xun You Liu Xin is a good person to do the end. He not only returned Xun You’s family members, but also Xun Yu’s family members. Of course, Xun You did not believe that the team of officers and soldiers was really trying to protect their own safety, but was afraid of more. It was out of surveillance, but he did not dare to fight the idea of escape. If it made sense to escape in the past, it would have harmed his family, but now his cousin Xun Yu and his family are also following behind.
Liu Xin did not come to the scene to watch the execution. Although he had experienced battles many times, he still didn't like such bloody scenes. He stayed in the palace all day to accompany his wife and children, even though this trip to the Western Regions was due to coming In a hurry, I didn’t have time to prepare any gifts, but to talk about the customs of the Western Regions, it is still very popular with everyone.
Miyagi is too big. Ma Yun, Bian Yu and the others have their own palaces, but they have less contact with each other, but they are not as close as they were in Xiangyang. Now that Liu Xin is back, it is a rare experience for everyone to get together. Opportunities to enhance relationships,
Just when everyone was feeling the warm moment, Ma Yun suddenly said: "You left Chang'an at such an important time, so maybe you just went to see the scenery."
Liu Xin smiled, took out a piece of paper from his arms and raised it up, saying: "The results of this trip are here. I have signed the Treaty of Beitian with Kangju."
Only in front of his courtiers, Liu Xin would call himself "I". In front of his family, he still used to say "I".
Ma Yun took the piece of paper and read it again, her face suddenly changed, and said, "Why are you giving Kangju such generous terms?"
In the eyes of Jushou, Tian Feng and others, this treaty is just a gift from a celestial country to a small remote country. It is not a big deal, but Ma Yun is different. Her ideas are the same as Liu Xin. At the expense of fame and benefit, Ma Yun immediately became suspicious of this treaty.
Liu Xin did not conceal it, telling the story about herself and Ban Thie.
Women are born to like gossip. For such incredible things, Bian Yu and Cai Yan naturally want to break the casserole and ask them to the end. Only Ma Yun has a stern face and is very angry. Liu Xin took a lot of effort to coax her to change her mind. ,
However, Liu Xin did not stay with his wife and children for long. Soon news about Cao Cao came through.
Cao Cao not only has many talents under his hands, but he is also an ambitious hero. That's why Liu Xin attaches great importance to him. He must be eliminated before dealing with Yuan Shao. In fact, Cao Cao is also worthy of Liu Xin. Pay attention to,
After learning the news of Puyang’s fall, Cao Cao only experienced a brief shock, and then made a decision to launch a frenzied, almost desperate attack on Hulao Pass. Such a fierce offensive continued until dark before it stopped. The terrain of Hulao Pass is not suitable for night battles. Every day the Cao army stopped when it was dark. There was no exception on this day. It did not attract the attention of the defenders. Unlike the past, the Cao army who retreated to the barracks did not enter. The camp took a rest, but pulled out the camp with grains and grass overnight.
Before the war, Cao Cao did his homework, and the establishment of the major army regiments under Liu Xin was published in the Dahan Express. As long as you pay attention to it, you can find out the situation of the Han army, so Cao Cao doesn't bother the country. Harmony can calculate Liu Xin’s troop deployment. Only then did he dare not save Yuan Shao and attack Hulao Pass instead.
What Cao Cao didn't expect was that the defenders at Hulao Pass were so tenacious, and his army was capable of being elite. After attacking for more than ten days, he simply failed to get to the top of the city and instead lost Puyang.
But Cao Cao also knows that Liu Xin's current military strength is not sufficient. He can divide his troops to take Puyang. Other places will definitely be empty. Now Cao Cao is not without soldiers, but lacks money and food. Puyang is lost and the army is short of food. It’s going to be more serious. Even now it’s useless to go back to the teacher. It’s better to take a risk.
So Cao Cao evacuated the army to Chenliu overnight. Chen Liu was the place where he raised his troops and was supported by the local gentry and family guards. However, Cao Cao only added some food and grass in Chenliu and entered the territory of Runan via Chen. Although the Wei family was very wealthy, it was not enough to feed such a huge army. Cao Cao needed to find another source.
Runan is not wealthy, but Cao Cao knew that Mi Fang used to smuggle grain to Puyang through Runan, which means that Runan must have accumulated a large amount of grain, and even the foundation of the Mi family has moved from Xuzhou to Runan. Uncertain, the Mi family was the richest man in Xuzhou back then, and now he has been with Liu Xin, and he has already lost his life. If he can copy the Mi family, then he will have both money and food.
Cao Cao is not a good stubborn. After he started his army, he was short of food and grass. He sent soldiers to dig out a lot of the tombs of the emperors and kings, letting him copy a rich family home. As long as he has money and food, it won’t be long. Cao Cao can make a comeback again, and the recovery of Puyang is just around the corner.
Of course, the reason why Cao Cao is so confident is based entirely on one of his judgments. Now Liu Xin has two enemies, one is Cao Cao, the other is Yuan Shao. Now the siege of Hulao Pass has been resolved, and Cao Cao has lost Puyang. When he fled, Liu Xin would definitely focus his spear on Yuan Shao, because the third master of the Yuan family’s fourth generation had many soldiers, countless money and food, and even Xianbei and Wuhuan’s help. That should be Liu Xin’s strong enemy. Liu Xin could not let Yuan Shao ignore him, but came to chase him Cao Cao. As long as Liu Xin and Yuan Shao fight for a while, he and Cao Cao can regroup in Xu Yang.
Runan is as expected by Cao Cao. The troops are empty. There are only a few local troops stationed in the counties and counties along the way. The city is also very dilapidated. It has not been specially repaired. It is almost a drum. But to Cao Cao's disappointment, Runan The counties and counties are very poor, unlike the place under Liu Xin’s rule.
In fact, what Cao Cao didn’t know was that although Runan and other counties were occupied by Liu Xin together with the Jiangnan counties, Liu Xin’s funds were not unlimited. He had to consider the priority of development, and Jiangnan was Liu Xin. As the focus of development, Runan’s resources are relatively less. The focus is also to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. The people of Dahan are very simple, and their requirements are not high, as long as they can fill their stomachs. Therefore, although Runan does not have He became rich quickly like Jiangnan, but the people still praised Liu Xin, but they gave Cao Cao an illusion.
Cao Cao was naturally not reconciled, and continued to sway his forces south and entered Jiujiang. Jiujiang County is the largest county in Yangzhou. Shouchun, Yinling, and Liyang were once the governing offices of Yangzhou, even when Liu Xin attacked Jiujiang. It took a lot of effort, how could it be easy for Cao Jun to overcome
Sure enough, after Cao Cao entered Jiujiang, he immediately encountered a roadblocker.
