Chapter 456 Lobbying Huan Jie
It can be seen that Liu Bei and Liu Feng are ranked third in the world in Huan Jie's eyes. It is not that Huan Jie despises them, but that it is unquestionable praise.
In this way, it is not surprising why Liu Bei owned the three states, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao still regarded each other as the number one enemy and fought to win over Liu Bei.
Because Liu Bei's foundation is too shallow, in the eyes of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Liu Bei is just a more capable Yuan Shu.
In three years, we can still cultivate the land of the three states, and the kingly powers entered the country, the sages and great men surrendered, and the people supported them.
Who believes it?
With the experience and vision of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in this era, I only think that Liu Bei and his son are essentially militant warlords who have been conquering each other for many years. As long as they can defeat Liu Bei once on the battlefield, the land of the three states will be very good. It will soon become full of war.
In contrast, Cao Cao has now received the support of the Henan gentry and powerful people, and has mastered the court and the emperor's righteousness. In terms of reputation, he can be said to be the best in the world.
Liu Bei and Liu Feng, father and son, do not have Yuan Shao's strong strength and world reputation, and do not have Cao Cao's advantage in possessing the title of the emperor and the court. If they had not won Yu and Yang, they might not have been able to catch up with Liu Biao. It is no wonder that Huan Jie ranked Liu Bei and Liu Feng and his son third.
"Uncle is a big mistake!"
Sun Ce immediately shouted loudly, his momentum as if a tiger was roaring, and Huan Jie was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Ce continued: "The current trend is the end of Qin and the end of the new era. Although strong soldiers and horses should not be underestimated, the more important thing is to find a wise master. This is the fault of my father."
Huan Jie was shocked. In this era, his worship of his ancestors far exceeded that of later generations.
Not to mention such a naked father, even if others praise their father and ancestors, they cannot be humble.
You can be humble, but you are humble.
But if others praise your father, grandpa, and ancestors, you cannot be humble at all. Not only should you accept it in full, but you should also praise it together, otherwise you will be unfilial. And in the Han Dynasty, unfilial people are really socially dead, and even gangsters look down on you.
So, Sun Ce dared to state Sun Jian's faults like this, even in the secret room, which was enough to shock Huan Jie. "Uncle, Ce Fei is an unfilial person. It is because you have great kindness to my family. The remains of my father in the past were born and died, and he was able to return home after he was able to support the coffin. This kind of kindness is high and the sea of mountains and seas Deep, kindness is recreated, Ce dare not forget it for a moment."
Sun Ce first comforted the other party, and then continued, "Uncle, Jingnan's choice is not my own. Uncle is really hard Get out. Therefore, Ce risked his life to express his views to his uncle and hoped that his uncle would understand. "
When Huan Jie heard this, he understood what Sun Ce meant.
Sun Ce reminded himself that no matter what choice Jingnan made, as Zhang Xian’s chief confidant, the local local leader, the chief clerk of the county government, and the famous scholars of Jingnan, it is absolutely impossible for him to escape the relationship.
This also means that if Jing Nan chose the right choice and if he didn't come forward, he might not have any contribution, but if he chose the wrong choice, he would not be able to escape the consequences.
Zhang Xian is not a local at all, but he is a real local snake. Can he afford this price?
Especially Yuan and Cao are far away in the sky, while Liu Feng is near.
After Sun Ce finished speaking, he stared at Huan Jie. Although the latter's face was calm, he was very anxious inside.
From the bottom of my heart, Huan Jie actually favored Cao Cao the most. After all, Cao Cao controlled the court and was very strong, and he was a legitimate general of the regent.
But Cao Cao is not only the weakest among the three companies, but also very far from Jingnan.
As for Liu Bei and Liu Feng, Huan Jie was always hesitant.
After all, the Liu family started too quickly.
Sun Jian was regarded as a latecomer by the world, but the Liu family started a more rapid career than Sun Jian.
After hesitating for a long time, Huan Jie asked with some difficulty: "Bo Fu thinks Liu Xuande and Liu Zisheng are wise masters?"
Sun Ce showed a slightly rebellious smile when he heard this: "Liu Xuande is the most handsome man. , as if he had no son, I am afraid that he will still be in the East China Sea today."
Huan Jie was surprised: "Bo Fu looks down on Liu Zisheng so highly?"
A hint of embarrassment and discouragement flashed across Sun Ce's face , sighed and said, "Ce claims to be brave and strong, but he is defeated by Liu Zisheng, which is convinced."
Huan Jie took a breath, when did he see him even more rebellious than Sun Jian The unfashioned Sun Ce would have such an honest expression and words.
At this time, Huan Jie had already made some moves.
After considering it for another half a minute, Huan Jie made a concession: "What is your intention when you come to find me?"
Sun Ce was secretly happy and realized that this was Huan Jie's concession brought his plan out. "Uncle, the Jingbei Army has just retreated now, so we must not let it retreat at will. If we don't have talent, we are willing to follow thousands of elite elites to pursue them. If we have the opportunity, we will win two or three small victories, which will not help. But slowing down the speed of Jingbei Army going north."
At this point, Sun Ce paused and deliberately hesitated before continuing: "I'm not hiding it to my uncle. If it's not bad as I expected, I The Lord must have personally supervised the army to come west and must have wanted to encircle the Jingbei army south of the river."
Huan Jie was horrified when he heard this, and then he was a little excited.
If it were Yuan, Cao, and Liu, he would still be hesitant, but for Liu Biao, he had never taken a fancy to the other party from beginning to end.
This time, Jingnan raised his troops, Huan Jie was the well-deserved mastermind and the real mastermind.
If Liu Feng's Yangzhou army could really come to the west to eat the Jingbei army, Huan Jie would definitely be supportive.
Next, Sun Ce continued: "After annihilation of Jingbei Army, the army will take advantage of the situation to move south. Although Linxiang is a strong city, how can it stop our Yangzhou army?"
"Uncle, my subordinates are especially good at siegeing the city. Wuxian and Moling in Yangzhou are both strong cities, with excellent soldiers and sufficient food, and a high city and deep pond. My nephew has even arranged tens of thousands of heavy troops, but it can't last for just one season. Uncle Father How long does Linxiang City last? "
Huan Jie was completely shaken, and Sun Ce's words were almost nakedly threatened.
As a gentry in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Huan Jie knew very well what the result would be if the troops from other states entered the country.
In fact, let alone outside the state, just looking at what the Jingbei Army did in Jingnan is enough to make people frightened.
The Jingbei Army, which belongs to Jingzhou, is still like this. Will there be a way out when the Yangzhou Army arrives?
Huan Jie didn't know how Liu Feng attached importance to military discipline, so he was still looking at the problem based on the old ideas.
But there were some mistakes, and in this way, Huan Jie was so scared that he immediately made a decision. "My dear nephew, since the Jingbei Army entered the country, people have suffered a lot and the people have been displaced. How can I not revenge this hatred?" Huan Jie immediately promised, "You should be content with waiting for my news, I immediately changed my clothes and went to the county government. "
Sun Ce was very happy and knew that Huan Jie was completely on his side, and Huan Jie had great say in front of Zhang Xian, even above Zhang Yi.
As long as Huan Jie comes forward to lobby, not to mention returning the military power to himself, at least he can choose thousands of elite troops out of the city to pursue him. Huan Jie immediately changed his clothes and prepared to go to the county government, while Sun Ce followed him.
When the two walked to the door, Huan Jie told Sun Ce to stay in the mansion and wait for him to come back to talk.
At this moment, a horse galloped from afar. Seeing Sun Ce rolling down from the horse, he rushed forward and said, "General Sun, letter from Yangzhou."
Sun Ce and Huan Jie looked at each other. At first glance, he was shocked and suspicious. Then, Sun Ce walked up to take the silk book, opened it and started to look.
After a moment, Sun Ce showed ecstasy expression on his face, turned around and handed the silk book to Huan Jie, and said loudly: "I came from Yangzhou, Zhouling is a great victory. My lord personally supervised the formation. The navy defeated the Jingzhou navy on the river outside Zhouling. Captured Huang Zu alive."
Huan Jie was about to take over the silk book, but suddenly he heard Sun Ce's words and his mind was shaken and he couldn't catch it.
The silk book slowly fell, but Huan Jie didn't know it, just staring at Sun Ce with a happy face.
At this time, Huan Jie had only one voice in his heart, and he bet on the right bet.
Sun Ce did not blame Huan Jie for his incompetence. On the contrary, he understood it very well. He took the initiative to go forward and picked up the silk book and handed it back to Huan Jie.
Huan Jie hurriedly opened it and looked through it carefully. Only then did he realize that the Yangzhou navy not only defeated the Jingzhou navy, but also captured Huang Zu alive. He also captured more than 40,000 prisoners in one breath and killed seven or eight thousand people. Cai Mao fled in a scattered manner, the Jiangxia navy had completely disappeared, and the Xiangyang navy was also severely injured.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
More than 40,000 prisoners! ?
Huan Jie was in a state of ice and fire. He was surprised that Liu Zisheng was so good at fighting, and he was also panicking that Jing Nan had too little capital. All our troops, even various private parts, cannot resist the captives captured by others in the First World War.
Fortunately, this is already my own person.
Huan Jie slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his heart was cold, and a heat rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's go, Bo Fu will follow me!"
Huan Jie's body, which was still a little stiff, regained his strength just now, and immediately strided towards the carriage and horse: "Go to the county government first to solve the most urgent task."
**
After Gan Ning arrived in Xiakou, he immediately summoned Zhu Huan and Chen Wu.
Zhu Huan was the head of the Zhu family among the four great masters of Wu, and Chen Wu was Sun Ce's confidant, responsible for commanding the elites under his command. After the defeat in Qiantang, he surrendered with Sun Ce.
These two people are not as qualified, brave, or official, as compared to Gan Ning, not to mention that Gan Ning has the order given by Liu Feng.
So, the two quickly expressed their willingness to follow Gan Ning's horse.
Gan Ning was very happy that Zhu Huan and Chen Wu were so honest, and his attitude became much gentler.
It was just that when asking about the strength of the troops, there was a little bit of a problem.
"Why are there only seven thousand soldiers?" Gan Ning looked unhappy and stared at Zhu Huan and Chen Wu with suspicious eyes.
Zhu Huan and Chen Wu actually have bad tempers, but in front of Gan Ning, they dare not be angry at all.
Who doesn't know that this is Liu Feng's confidant general. Even Liu Feng is tolerant of him. These surrendered generals cannot be beaten by each other because of their attitude.
Fortunately, there was a reason for the incident, so Zhu Huan and Chen Wu hurriedly explained.
It turned out that the ship who had previously reported the victory sent Lu Bu to him, and also brought the order to mobilize troops. Let the army stationed in Shaxian start the westward journey and prepare for the next stage of the plan.
At the end of the Battle of Zhouling, Jiangxia Navy's ambush appeared behind the Yangzhou Navy, which almost scared Zhu Huan and Chen Wu to death.
Fortunately, Liu Feng did not hold them accountable. It was not that Liu Feng didn't care, but that Liu Feng felt that this was really not the fault of Zhu Huan and Chen Wu.
The two of them blocked Xiakou with their inferior forces and blocked Zhang Yun, and they were already quite responsible. Even Liu Feng himself did not expect that Huang Zu would actually hide an ambush in Tushui. How could he blame Zhu Huan and Chen Wu?
It's just that Liu Feng did not blame them, but they both felt guilty. Therefore, they were worried that the army would encounter Chen Sheng's defeated soldiers when they went west, so they specially squeezed out one thousand men and two hundred ships of all sizes and escorted them. The army headed to Bachu.
After getting the explanation, Gan Ning felt a little guilty.
But it is impossible to apologize. Gan Ning then turned angry and said happily: "Xiu Mu, Zi Lie, I have a good thing to look for you, but I just don't know if you have the courage." br>
Zhu Huan also has the pride of the gentry, but Chen Wu is a genuine powerful man. He is dissatisfied with Gan Ning's aggressive aura, but his power is stronger than others and dares not fight, so he can only grit his teeth and endure it secretly.
Now that after hearing Gan Ning's words, he couldn't stand it patiently. He immediately raised his head and shouted: "Why does the troop governor underestimate people? Although Wu is humble, he also knows honor and disgrace. If the troop governor does not abandon it, Wu is willing to do so. Be the pioneer!"
After Chen Wu spoke, Zhu Huan couldn't help it, and then bowed and said, "The lord Huan Meng is very kind, and he has been promoted one after another. Huan died of such kindness as he knew about his encounter. It is hard to repay the consequences. Now that I have been doing the state affairs, how can I cherish my life? I hope to die for the lord and general! ”
"Okay! OK!"
Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't care about the little thorn hidden in the words of the two.
"Erjun, I want to break Zhang Yun in Xiakou."
Gan Ning came out of the tray hidden in his heart: "I would like to ask the two of you to help me! After the matter is completed, I will definitely Not only enjoying this merit."
Zhu Huan and Chen Wu were shocked, and they did not expect that Gan Ning's appetite was so big.
But if you think about it carefully, there have been more than 10,000 elite naval forces in the third battalion. Zhang Yun has only 20,000 to 30,000 people in his hand. Almost all the warships are small boats, and the big boats are taken away by Cai Mao in front of him.
So, Gan Ning’s plan is really feasible.
As thinking about it, Zhu Huan and Chen Wu both began to feel moved.
The resentment just now was instantly burned to ashes by the passion of making contributions, leaving only a piece of enthusiasm.
Next, Gan Ning asked Zhu Huan and Chen Wu for a lot of information.
The two of them stayed at Xia's mouth for a long time, and Zhang Yun's troops only launched a few tentative attacks, and then retreated. Now we are camping fifty miles away from Xiakou. This place is the intersection of the Han River and the Han River, and it is also a key transportation pass.
After Zhang Yun retreated, he also placed the five thousand army on the shore to camp, echoing the water camp. At the same time, he also attempted to reinforce Xiakou by land, but he was defeated by setting up an ambush for Zhou Yu, losing more than a thousand people.
Gan Ning talked with Zhu Huan and Chen Wu for a whole night and learned a lot of information.
The next morning, he brought more than a hundred personal soldiers and more than ten small boats upstream and went to Zhang Yun camp to conduct on-site investigation.
