Liu Mang finally escaped. Jia Xu, the old fox, arrived in time and asked a sergeant to inform Liu Mang outside the study that something important had happened, and the lord needed to go to deal with it in time. If there is something important, Qiao Yu understands men In addition to being a woman, you have to have a career, so you don't bother Liu Mang anymore. After leaving the study, your face still retains that delicate red color, and there is still some panic on your face. After all, Liu Mang kissed you, and your heart is warm. The girl's feelings were rippling again, although the top was put on, but it was not tidied up, because Liu Mang's pair of thieves became unruly just now, and as soon as Qiao Yu left, Zou Rong's also came out! Her appearance was not much better than Qiao Yu's when she came out. Although she didn't have disheveled clothes, her face was even worse than Qiao Yu's. The makeup on her face was ruined and wiped away by a white liquid. .
As soon as the two of them came out, they immediately tidied up their clothes. Although Liu Mang worked hard, he still tidied up his clothes. The bottom is no longer as calm as it is, and it can be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain. The key point is once again. Shrunk down!
"Ma'am!" Liu Mang clasped his fists to Zou who had just wiped off the traces on his face after dressing up. Liu Mang felt a trace of guilt in his heart, he was the one who made Zou in front of him so embarrassed.
"Still called madam!?" Zou gave Liu Mang a blank look. Although she said that she came to seduce Liu Mang and wanted to find a home for herself, she never thought that it would turn out like this, no matter Liu Mang No matter how much you pay attention to your own hygiene, there will always be a taste. The taste of this mouth makes Zou very uncomfortable. She never thought that this bad guy's bad things would be like this. But she still achieved her goal, didn't she
Although the two of them didn't have a good time, it also meant that the relationship between the two had become unclear.
"Zou. Zou!" Liu Mang yelled several times but didn't know how to say it. It was Zou herself who said with a charming smile: "My name is Zou Rong. You can call me Rong'er!" Zou Rong said her name. When she was under Liu Mang's robe, she heard Liu Mang calling herself The wives are all Ling'er, Yu'er, and Fang'er. She also wanted to get closer to Liu Mang, so she naturally gave out such a nickname.
"Rong, Rong'er!" Liu Mang struggled and finally called out this name, this Zou family is a beauty. To tell the truth, Liu Mang, who doesn’t like beautiful women, but it’s risky to accept this beauty. The three in the family are difficult to solve. After that, they will be Xiliang cavalry. Zou’s identity is Xiliang cavalry Among the old masters, Zhang Ji's widowed wife, Liu Mang didn't show his greed for the Zou family before outside Shouchun City, which made the Xiliang cavalry return quickly, but now if they accept Chow. So what is the difference from the previous Cao Cao! He Liu Mang is Liu Mang, although he likes beautiful women, he is not human. My wife, Cao, likes to accept other people's wives.
"En!" Mrs. Zou responded with a nod of her head, a shyness appeared on her face. It has been many years, and the title of Rong'er is no longer used by people. People call her Mrs. Zou, Mrs., and Auntie. , Why have you ever called her boudoir name! So being called out by Liu Mang, Zou suddenly became as shy as a young girl from a young woman.
"Hey!" Liu Mang looked at whether there were any marks on Zou's face that had been cleaned up. Liu Mang sighed and gritted his teeth. Push it outside, this is not Liu Mang's style, but what about the two tigers at home, one big and one small! It's difficult. The gentleness that Qiao Yu showed before was because she was very obedient and didn't cheat. If this is discovered, then just wait for the volcano to erupt. There is no way out before and after. Liu Mang just Gritting his teeth, Neng said to Zou Rong, "I will take responsibility!" and then walked out. He still has something to talk about in the main hall! Although Jia Xu came to save the scene, in fact something really happened. Otherwise, after Jia Xu sent a sergeant, several more sergeants came. These are not Jia Xu's rescuers , but was sent by Xu Shu and Liu Ye for something real, and even Zhou Cang Guanhai equipped with a sword and came outside Liu Mang's mansion to stand by, indicating that something really happened.
"My lord!" Liu Mang headed towards the main hall under the leadership of the sergeant. When he arrived at the main hall, basically everyone was in place. The black chess army of the army has also been deployed, so Zhang Liao, Xu Sheng and others are not there, but the other generals are there. The three foxes are all in the hall. Although the three of them had disagreements, they are at this time. At the end of the transaction, each of them looked more serious than the other. It seemed that this matter was really serious, otherwise the three of them would not have been like this.
"The lord is here!" Liu Mang entered the main hall, and a sergeant woke up everyone present, Liu Mang came.
"My lord!" All the people greeted Liu Mang with clasped fists.
"What happened!" Liu Wei sat on his seat and asked the three dog-headed military divisions below.
"My lord, something big has happened!" Xu Shu is the military adviser of the entire Yangzhou and the most low-ranking person in the entire Liu Mang army besides Liu Wei, so he spoke directly. It is rare for Liu Mang to see Xu Shu like this. Last time during the siege of Shouchun, when Liu Bei used the fake Lv Qiling as bait, Xu Shu had no choice but to open the city and surrender, and now this appearance shows that the matter is not small.
"Speak!" Liu Mang took a deep breath, ready to receive the bad news that Xu Shu said.
Sure enough, Liu Reck guessed right. When Xu Shu opened his mouth, Liu Reck was really stunned. This news really shocked Liu Reck, and all the envoys he sent from seven or eight routes gave an answer. Just didn't buy any food.
No food! What are you playing! Liu Mang was really stunned, food and grass, this is a key factor that restricts the entire Liu Mang army and even the entire Yangzhou, the entire Lu Bu army, because the million people in this birthday spring are all waiting to be fed and want rations, it can be said Liu Mang is raising a population of one million, not the kind of other princes who only need to support their own army, and those people have their own rations.
As soon as Liu Mang's call-up order came out, he was directly played by Jiangdong Sun Ce. Millions of people came from all over Yangzhou. He even helped Jiangdong a big favor. Let them get rid of the big package of Shanyue. It can be said that Jiangdong Sun Ce is very grateful to Liu Mang.
Whether it is Jiangdong Sun Ce, Yuzhou's Liu Bei or even Xudu's Cao Cao, they all want to watch Liu Mang's army collapse, and be completely killed by those rioting people. In this way, they will be as dominant as they are on the map, and there will be one less opponent.
Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu, and Sun Ce wanted to come to a three-family besiege of Lu Bu's army and finally annexed Lu Bu's army. He had already forced Liu Mang to a dead end, and he almost succeeded because he didn't bring Cao Cao from Xudu to play. It was the news that Liu Mang gave Cao Cao the black nest and Cao Cao wanted the bed crossbow in Liu Mang's hand, which made Cao Cao send 100,000 grain and grass to Liu Mang for emergency. In this way, Liu Wei's favor can be repaid, and in this way, Liu Wei can owe himself a favor. The most important thing is that although he Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, in the Battle of Guandu, he wanted to truly It will take a lot of time to unify Hebei to become the overlord of the whole Hebei, and Cao Cao doesn't want to meet a Central Plains overlord when he unifies Hebei and finally wants to win the world, that will be really hard to beat! So what Cao Cao needs is a Central Plains that cannot be unified, so neither Liu Bei nor Sun Ce is in his Cao Cao's interests. This is Cao Cao's real purpose of saving Liu Wei.
Sure enough, Liu Mang won the battle, and in the end, 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry were lost in Yangzhou because of Zhang Xiu's life and death, and Liu Bei's army was also defeated. Even the general Chen Daodu and his beloved white-eared heavy armor died in Yangzhou. It can be said that the siege of Yangzhou was completely touched.
And then it is to consume it and wait for the next harvest. But Liu Mang still has no food in his hands! If there is no food and grass, it is natural to buy it. Liu Wei has money in his hand, which is the background of Yuan Shu in Shouchun, but Liu Wei really did not expect that he would not be able to buy it even if he has money!
"Tell me! Why didn't I buy any of them!" Liu Mang rubbed his head. This head was really painful. He never thought that it would reach such a point that he wouldn't sell any of them! Hehe, although there are enemies near Liu Mang, not all of them are enemies. What are these people thinking about writing? Could it be that the demise of Lu Bu's army is of great benefit to them.
"My lord, Jiangdong Sun Ce, our envoy was beaten out by Jiangdong soldiers and horses before our envoy arrived." Xu Shu was the first to mention Jiangdong Sun Ce. The envoy sent to Jiangdong Sun Ce really failed to reach Sun Ce. , it should be said that he was beaten back without even crossing the Yangtze River. Not only was he beaten back, but the money he brought was also swallowed.
"Huh! Sun Ce!" Liu Mang slapped the table suddenly, his eyes glowing with coldness. Fortunately, Liu Mang was prepared in his heart. Although he and Jiangdong Sun Ce did not directly fight this time, who doesn't know that the Yangzhou battle this time The trap was planned by Jiangdong Sun Ce. Jiangdong Sun Ce is the mastermind. How could he give you military rations to help you out of your troubles? Therefore, it is reasonable for Jiangdong Sun Ce not to sell it. The thousand gold has been swallowed, but it doesn't matter, after eating his Liu Mang's, he will naturally need to spit it out, and Linhuai is enough for Liu Mang to replenish it.
Liu Mang is now waiting for Sun Ce to know what kind of expression he will look like after swallowing his territory in Huainan, and he also hopes that Sun Ce's army will be full of anger and be directly dazzled by the anger, and finally the army will attack, so that Liu Mang gathered around to fight for help.
"After that, it will be Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi!" Xu Shu continued to explain to Liu Mang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, these two brothers are now allies even if they are enemies, brothers, but in this battle for succession In the middle, it is almost life and death. Although Cao Cao has beaten Yuan Shao in Hebei, Yuan Shao, after all, is a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse. With the support of the four continents of Hebei, I am afraid that Cao Cao is really difficult to fight, and even Yuan Shao can fight back. It's a pity that the two brothers are not in the same heart. After Yuan Shao fell ill, there was a big shortcoming that he didn't make an heir. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang both wanted to get the inheritance right of Hebei, let alone Cao Cao, the enemy. The brothers started to fight each other. The younger brother blamed his elder brother for disobeying his father's orders and rebelling against himself as the lord of Jizhou. The elder brother accused his younger brother of putting his father under house arrest and wanted to poison his father to dominate Hebei. Cao Cao directly enjoyed the benefits That's enough, the news brought back by the two envoys sent by Liu Mang this time simply made Liu Mang dumbfounded.
When he arrived at Yuan Shang's place, Yuan Shang's condition for selling military rations was to attack Yuan Tan, as long as Liu Mang sent troops to Qingzhou to attack Yuan Tan. Immediately Yuan Shang took out 100,000 grain and grass. Not just for sale. And it's a free gift if you sell it for free.
As for Yuan Tan, the same condition he gave was to let Liu Wei send troops to Yuan Shang. As long as Liu Wei sent troops, he would also send 100,000 grain and grass, not only grain and grass but also gold. Liu Wei looked at the two conditions in front of him. I can't laugh or cry, the reward among these two conditions is really very generous, one hundred thousand grain and grass. He also added gold, but Liu Wei knew that he couldn't get it, so he attacked Yuan Tan in Qingzhou? Liu Mang wanted to go to Qingzhou by land other than by sea. Liu Mang didn’t even have an entrance to the sea. How could he go? And Liu Mang's navy has not yet taken shape, so what to do? How can Liu Mang go by land? Yangzhou and Qingzhou are still separated from Xuzhou, is Lao Cao Hui Street
As for beating Yuan Shang, that's a fantasy. Unless it's flying, it's impossible to achieve it, so these two messengers have no effect. On the contrary, the conditions given by the envoy sent by Liu Mang to Yuan Xi are somewhat reliable.
Yuan Xi was the son of Yuan Shao and the younger brother of Yuan Tan. Yuan Shang's brother. After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, he made Yuan Xi the governor of Youzhou. This Yuan Xi may be regarded as Yuan Shao's best son. It's better, and this Yuan Xi doesn't have the slightest ambition. His younger brother is Yuan Shang, but he has a good relationship with Yuan Tan, so the war between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan didn't affect him. Liu Wei believes that if Yuan Shaoli's successor is this Yuan Xi, then Lao Cao will have a lot of fun. It's a pity that Liu Wei can only think about these things, and he doesn't know whether this Yuan Shao can get a good death in the hands of his most beloved young son Yuan Shang, let alone make a will!
The conditions Yuan Xi gave were much more reliable. He wanted Liu Mang to send a trilogy to attack Cao Cao. No, Yuan Xi had more foresight than his elder brother Yuan Tan and younger brother Yuan Shang. Bystanders, as long as Cao Cao is defeated, let alone Hebei, even the whole world may belong to their Yuan family. Then go to fight for hegemony. But it is the real person who can make them wiped out. As long as Cao Cao is there, no matter whether it is Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang who wins, they can only give Cao the wedding dress in the end, but his two brothers can't think of so much. It is how to get Hebei after the death of his father.
"Attack Cao Cao?!" Liu Mang frowned and calculated the pros and cons mainly because Yuan Xi's conditions were too tempting." A total of 200,000 shi, 20,000 war horses, and countless gold, silver and jewels Ah! "What do the princes of the Central Plains lack the most? It's not the population, it's not the number of generals, or the highly intelligent advisers, but the horses, but the cavalry. You can build five thousand Yuzhou iron cavalry from Jiangdong Sun Ce with all his strength, and you can know that this cavalry is in the Central Plains. Even how important the Jiangnan area is.
As for Cao Cao's territory, it is close to Yangzhou, not to mention far away, the nearest is Xuzhou, which is the direction from which Lu Bujun came.
"My lord, it's best not to take Yuan Xi's wealth!" Xu Shu was the first to stand up and object.
"Huh? What is this about Yuanzhi?!" Liu Mang was a little confused. Although Cao Cao's army is strong, the main force of Cao's army is now in Hebei. There are really not many soldiers in this Central Plains, especially in Xuzhou It's soldiers and horses, and Lu Bu's army was kicked out by Cao Cao. If Liu Mang and Cao Cao go to war, then Lu Bu's army may increase its combat effectiveness by three levels. After all, it is a battle of revenge. This morale is very exciting. But now Xu Shu said that Cao Cao can't fight, why is that!
"My lord, although Cao Cao is a traitor, don't forget, my lord, he is kind to my lord!" Xu Shu clasped his fists at Liu Mang. Although Cao Cao has a bad reputation, Cao Cao really has a kindness to Liu Mang. Whether it's Liu Mang's title of King of Shu, Liu Mang's General Conquering the South, or even the 100,000 grain and grass later, these are all Cao Cao's kindness to Liu Mang.
"The king of Shu, the general who conquers the South!?" Liu Mang snorted coldly. Among them, Liu Mang's contribution is huge. Cao Cao came here because he was afraid that Lu Bu would get it. Liu Mang was like a fish in water, so he wanted to use countermeasures to take advantage of Lu Bu's suspicious and suspicious character, and wanted to increase Liu Mang's title and official position, which was greater than Lu Bu's. Many, this made Lu Bu suspicious of Liu Mang and finally killed Liu Mang!
But what Cao Cao miscalculated was that although Lu Bu was suspicious. But he can't be wrong to suspect his son-in-law. You must know that Lu Bu has only one daughter. As long as anyone marries Lu Bu's daughter, it is equivalent to getting Lu Bu's inheritance. Liu Mang like this still needs a counterattack! So this sugar-coated cannonball was eaten by Liu Mang. Liu Mang soon got the title of King of Shu, and he also got a lot of benefits from this title.
"But who knows!" Xu Shu shook his head and said to Liu Mang. Although this is Cao Cao's strategy, no one knows about it. Even if some ambitious people know about it, these people are a minority after all. Everyone knows it. It was Cao Cao who helped you return to the clan and represented you as the King of Shu in front of Emperor Han. Giving you a title is real. The ancients cared about fame, three people become tigers.
"One hundred thousand grains?!" Liu Mang shook his head disdainfully again. "Although the one hundred thousand grains is a gift from Cao Cao, it is true that I, Liu Mang, put my heart and soul into it. The Battle of Guandu, without me, Liu Mang." A letter sent to Yu, can he Cao Cao win? A joke! Moreover, Cao Cao gave food and grass in order to get the bed crossbow. Liu Wei is simply disdainful, this does not mean that Liu Wei looks down on Cao Cao. For a hero like Cao Cao, Liu Mang will still maintain a kind of respect that he deserves. What he disdains is Cao Cao's kindness to him.
Xu Shu listened to Liu Mang's complaints and shook his head in disdain, and sighed bitterly, "But no one knows!" Liu Mang gave Cao Cao a letter that stated the key points of the Battle of Guandu, and Wuchao must be the one who wants to win. One of the important reasons why Cao Cao was able to make up his mind to raid Wuchao and finally won the battle of Guandu, but everyone does not know this reason, the letter Liu Wei gave was a private letter, it will not be made public, and it was secretly given if it was kept secret. Otherwise, you can't fight all over the world. If you want Cao Cao to win Yuan Shao, you can attack his Wuchao. This is impossible, so no one knows the kindness Liu Wei gave Cao Cao, but Cao Cao is different. The 100,000 yuan of grain and grass is the real thing. There, hundreds of carts and dozens of ships are really what you can see out of the corner of your eyes and touch with your hands. This is Cao Cao's kindness, so For the world, Cao Cao is full of kindness to Liu Mang.
"Damn it!" Liu Mang hammered his fist fiercely. "Is there no other way!"
"There is really no way!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang, "My lord, once you start a war with Cao Cao, your reputation will be ruined. Although you can take the side of the Qing emperor and help the Han Dynasty to eliminate the Han thieves, in the eyes of most people Come on, my lord, you are ungrateful! What's more, now that Cao Cao is empty in Xuzhou, my lord, you are taking advantage of others' danger, so Cao Cao can't fight, not only can't fight, but you have to refuse righteously, so that you can keep your power. Fame!" Xu Shu said that if Liu Mang attacked Cao Cao, it would be ungrateful. In the eyes of the ancients, ungrateful is very serious, and it is so serious that everyone will spurn you.
"Come here, drag Yuan Xi's envoy out and kill him!" Liu Mang also knew that the current situation was not good for him, so he could only give up the benefits in Yuan Xi's hands and kill Yuan Xi's envoy to tell the world. He, Liu Mang, is no longer a man of grace and righteousness. Yuan Xijun's envoy, who was still waiting for news at the post station in Shouchun, didn't know that he was about to become the ghost of Liu Mang's sword.
However, this person should not die. Just when Liu Mang bit down and dragged him down to kill him, "Wait!" Just as the sergeant was about to go down to carry out the execution, a middle-aged scribe stood up, with a face on his face. A smile on his face, a smile makes people very charming, isn't this the old fox Jia Xu Jia Wenhe!
"My lord, although I can't attack Xuzhou, my lord doesn't need to kill Yuan Xi's envoy!" Jia Xu said to Liu Mang with a smile. If you kill Yuan Xi's envoy, you will offend Yuan Xi. Jia Xu is not Liu Mang. Liu Mang knows history and knows that the three brothers of the Yuan family are not Cao Cao's opponents. There are even two allusions.
After Gongsun Kang captured Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi alive, Yuan Shang thought it was cold on the ground and asked Gongsun Kang for a seat, but Yuan Xi said: "Our heads will be sent to Cao Cao thousands of miles away, what more seats do we need?"
According to Yuan Shao's biography of the Three Kingdoms, Xi said: "The head travels thousands of miles, where should it be seated!"
And the record in the later Han Dynasty is that Shang said that Kang said: "Before you die, the cold is unbearable, and you can meet with each other." Kang said: "Qing's head travels thousands of miles, where should I sit!"
There is another one that although it is not Yuan Xi, it also shows that Yuan Xi's ending is called Yuxia Enyi. After the loss of Yecheng, the decline of Yuan's family is inevitable. Yuan Xi's generals, Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan, launched a rebellion and ordered all the officials in Youzhou to betray Yuan and join Cao Cao. But Youzhou Biejia Han Heng disagreed, and said: "I have received the kindness of Yuan Shao and Yuan Xi's father and son. Now that the Yuan family is defeated, I can't save my wisdom and courage. I'm missing Yu Dayi; if I'm asked to surrender to Cao Cao at this time ,I can not do it.
What these two allusions say is that none of the three Yuan family brothers ended up with a good result, and such a dead man Liu Mang didn't care whether he was offended or not!
"Hmph, don't you, Jia Wenhe, have a better solution!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with a displeased expression on his face! (To be continued..)
