New Story of Lv Bu

: Chapter 1193: The Central Plains War (9)

In the third year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, on September 11th, at the beginning of Xuchu, Yuzhou, the prefecture of Peiguo, Xiang County, was in the prefectural palace.

The name of Xiang County comes from Guxiangyi. When it comes to Guxiangyi, one has to talk about a famous monarch in history. There is a sentence in the "Book of Songs? Song of Shang? Long Hair": "The Xiangtu is fierce, and there is a cut overseas." It means that Xiangtu worked vigorously, and the princes from all over the world were all surrendered to him. "Historical Records? Yin Benji? Suo Yin" also records that: "Sang Tu Zuo Xia, meritorious in Shang."

When the Xia Dynasty was just established, the Shang tribe migrated around Shangqiu. The ancestor of the Shang tribe named Qi, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. For helping Dayu to control the waters, he was named Situ and was in charge of education by Shun. He lived in Shangqiu, Henan. After Qi settled down in Shangqiu, his family gradually developed into a powerful tribe. The Qi was later passed down in Zhaoming, and Zhaoming was passed down in Xiangtu.

The Xiangtu mentioned here refers to a person. Xiangtu, the eleventh ancestor of Shangtang, grandson of Erbo (Qi), son of Zhaoming, Yizuochengdu, a native of Shangqiu, Henan, and the third leader of the Shang nation. Xiangtu is an accomplished king. Under his governance, the Shang tribe's agriculture and handicrafts have greatly developed. The most legendary is that Xiang Tu was the first animal trainer in Chinese history.

According to the "Bamboo Book Chronicles": "In the fifteenth year of the emperor's reign, the Shanghou Xiangtu worked as a horse rider, and then moved to Shangqiu." At that time, Shangqiu was surrounded by rivers and ditches, dense lakes, swamps, hills and hills, lush vegetation and towering trees. , All kinds of wild animals appear during the period. Aito is tall and healthy. When leading the clan people on hunts, he often fights wild horses, wild boars, elephants, tigers, ferocious wolves and other wild beasts, and often kills or subdues various wild beasts. At this moment, he began to germinate the heart of taming wild animals. Over time, the so-called "six animals" in the population of the dynasty today were formed: horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens.

Among the six animals, horses are mainly used for warfare, hunting and transportation; cattle are used for transportation and sacrifices in addition to food; pigs, sheep, and chickens are mainly used as sacrifices in sacrifice activities in addition to food; dogs are used for sacrifices It is sometimes used as a sacrifice for defense and hunting. The record in "Lu Shichunqiu? Ancient Music" about "merchants served elephants and abused Dongyi" shows that Xiangtu not only domesticated horses, cattle and other animals, but also domesticated elephants, and used the tamed elephants to conquer the east. In the war between the barbarians. This is amazing.

Under the leadership of Xiangtu, the six animals of the Shang tribe prospered, their national power was greatly revitalized, and their population was large, and they became increasingly prosperous and powerful. Just as King Xia was out of position, he was unable to take care of the East. Therefore, Xiangtu decided to expand his power eastward. Wherever the Shang tribe went, other small tribes were invincible, and they were successively conquered by them, and their sphere of influence extended to the Bohai Sea in Shandong. Finally, Xiangtu established the Eastern Capital in Mount Tai.

According to legend, the tribe led his tribe to drive the horse-drawn carriage he invented, all the way to the east. On the way, I was attracted by the lush and verdant ancient Xiangshan Mountain, so I rammed the earth and settled at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. It formed a city for a long time. In order to commemorate Xiangtu's arrival, later generations named this place Xiangcheng and Xiangcheng. mountain. This is the origin of Guxiangyi. According to legend, Tosaka, Ren Xia Sima, was in charge of conquests. Sun Ming, the third generation of Xiangtu, worked hard to develop agriculture and died of water control. He and Gonggong and Yu are both well-known water control figures in legends. Therefore, he received a grand sacrifice later, and left the legend that "the officials died in the water".

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Song Gonggong moved the capital of Song Song from the south of Shangqiu to this place due to avoiding floods. After the death of the Song Dynasty, the land entered the Wei Dynasty and became the name of Wei. In the twenty-sixth year of Emperor Qin, the world was divided into 36 prefectures, and Xiang County was established as an ancient Xiangyi, which belonged to Sishui County. In July of the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled and occupied Xiang County. In the second year, Qin General Zhang Hankexiang County. In the first year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Xiangyu entrusted and exterminated Qin's meritorious generals, the nobles of the old six countries, and the eighteenth generals of Qin Jiang as vassal kings. The nine prefectures of Liang and Chu were self-established as the Western Overlords. Sishui County and Xiang County belonged to the Western Chu Kingdom. In the four years of Emperor Han Gaozu, Pei County was divided into Sishui County and Zhixiang County was directly under the Han Ting. In the 6th year of Yuanshou, Pei Jun was once a general in Weng Xiangcheng Hou's fief, and he was called Xiangcheng Hou State, and later reverted to Pei Jun. Wang Mang usurped the Han to establish a new dynasty. In the first year of the founding of the country, he changed Peijun to Wufu and Xiangxian to Wufuting. The Xiangxian County of this Dynasty belongs to Yuzhou. In June of the 20th year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu changed his son Liu Fu to the title of King Pei, and Peiguo is still the prime minister.

Today, Xiangxian County is still full of lakes, rivers and fertile land, it can be regarded as a first-class Zhongzhou county. In addition, Xiangxian is backed by Yuzhou, strangles Xuzhou's throat in the east, Yanzhou in the north, and Yangzhou in the south, making it the site of the Fourth World War. Starting from Xiangxian, one hundred li to the east is Pengcheng, the prefecture of Pengcheng State, and another one hundred and fifty li to the east is Xiapi, the prefectural rule of Xiapi. Turning from Xiapi to the northeast, one hundred and fifty li is Tanxian, where Xuzhou animal husbandry resides. If you want to attack Xuzhou from Yuzhou, Xiangxian County is the best forward base. Therefore, half a month ago, Han Sui, the new governor of Yuzhou, moved his army from Qiaoxian, the governor of Yuzhou, to this place.

Fortunately, there are many rivers and lush forests around Xiang County, enough to hide more than 100,000 troops. At the same time, the Han army was the number one scout in the world, and other princes couldn't stand it. For more than half a month, the whereabouts of this army has not been exposed. Today, the Lingchao Army has arrived outside Xiangxian County day and night. After the general Lingchao Lu Lingchao rectified his army, he would go to the city to meet Senior Han and take care of military affairs.

Listening to the sound of bootstrapping from outside the door, Han Sui smiled slightly and put down the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand. He knew that Lu Lingqi was here. Sure enough, a moment later, a vigorous and clear female voice sounded outside the door. "General Lingchao Lu Lingchao, to see the Governor of Yuzhou, Mr. Han!" But she signed up for an audience! It stands to reason that Han Sui’s Yuzhou is a positive grade three, while Lu Linghao’s Linghao general is a positive grade two. It should be Han Sui’s visit to Linghao. "Lv Linghao is really a good girl!" Han Sui couldn't help but be greatly moved after hearing this. "Ling Haoxian niece! There is no need to be so polite with the old man! Please come in quickly!" Han Sui laughed loudly and hurried down to meet him.

"General Han is an old senior, and Ling Hao is a junior, so seeing the courtesy, Fang Xian respects the teacher's meaning!" Ling Hao smiled slightly, with his right fist as his chest, and respectfully saluted him. "Oh! What kind of old man is this old man? It's just a dead horse thief! Hahahahahahaha!" Han Sui laughed loudly. It is very comforting to say so in the heart.

The two narrated the military salute, exchanged a little greeting, and immediately went straight to the subject. "Ling Xixian niece, the old man has been stationed in Xiangxian for half a month, and he has waited impatiently. It stands to reason that the Central Plains war should have been opened long ago, but why hasn't there been any movement? , I’m afraid that the Xuzhou Army will find out the details and give the old man a double-shot cannon. That’s it!"

Han Sui is a thousand-year-old fox. He has a high level of morality. When he meets, he is quick to talk and throw out his own questions. He is a senior in the army, and he has been in Xiliang for more than ten years. From Zhang Wen, Huangfusong to Dong Zhuo, no one can take advantage of him. He had already cleared the current situation of the battle. Most of the time, Lu An's actions were too slow, which dragged his feet and even missed the military opportunity.

"The old man really saw it!" As soon as he heard Han Sui's words, Ling Hao immediately understood that the battle in front of him was insightful in Korean, and his old eyes had long seen clearly. If that's the case, then don't talk nonsense, let's tell the truth. "In my opinion, it was probably Lu An's first command of the battle. He always wanted to be more thorough. As a result, he moved slowly and almost missed the opportunity."

Speaking of this, Ling Hao paused for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Han Sui, and then continued. "This time the Central Plains War is about the ownership of the three states of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, and it is of great importance. It is the father who handled the military himself. Generally speaking, it should be Lu An who acted first, holding Yuan Benchu ​​tightly, and then counting. The army came out and brought down the three prefectures in one fell swoop. Now, Lu An hasn't started fighting for a long time, and Zang Hong's attacked Changyi, so that Yuan Benchu ​​got rid of the trick, and it was troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Han Sui immediately understood everything. For the first time Lu An supervised and led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, he compared his mind with Lu Zheng, and it was inevitable that steadfastness was the first priority. As a result, the plan to annihilate Yuan Benchu ​​in Qingzhou was ruined, and Cao Mengde was nowhere to be seen, and the Central Plains war became a mess. At this time, Wang Wen might have been furious.

Sure enough, he really guessed it. He put on a surprised look, and slowly asked: "Niece Ling Hao, how should I deal with it at this time? I hope to teach me!" Hearing this, Ling Hao secretly said in his heart: "This Korean agreement is worthy of it. The great man who has been in Xiliang for more than ten years, is as quiet as a virgin, like a rabbit, even pretending to be so innocent!" Thinking of this, she asked with a smile.

"Old predecessors, in the current situation, you absolutely can't wait any longer! I have sent an emergency eagle letter to Lu An, urging him to enter the army quickly, and first encircle Qingzhou Mu's garrison, Juxian County, let's talk about it! Qingzhou fought, My father will supervise and lead the army to solve the siege of Changyi. To be honest, he has been waiting around Changyi for several days. As soon as my father appears in Changyi, we will immediately start to attack Xuzhou eastward! After waiting, Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande will flee south or east. At that time, they are the dragon to the sea, and the fish is in the shallow bottom. If you want to deal with them, it will be more difficult!" Ling Hao smiled slightly and said slowly.

"That's great! My niece Ling Hao, according to the old man's opinion, we will wait up to three days. After three days, no matter what, our army will advance! I don't know what you want?" Han Sui twirled his beard. There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he lowered his voice. "It's like a king's words! Three days later, immediately send troops!" Ling Hao is also a prudent person, and immediately took a few cases and took measures.

Alas! Compared with the stunning and brilliant Lu Zheng, Lu An's generals are not worth mentioning! He must be careful not to mess up!
