Chapter 313 Diplomatic War
Gan Ning gave Su Fei the first merit without hesitation. Su Fei had already died in battle, and Lu Bu didn't know what to give! Finally, at the suggestion of Liu Mang and Chen Gong, Lu Bu and Liu Mang wrote a letter to Xu Du in the name of General Heping Dong of the South to be named Su Fei. Who has been scolding for thousands of years? He has been the marquis of marquis three thousand miles away. This has always been worshipped and needed by civil and military officials in history. Liu Mang and Lu Bu were just two ordinary documents, but they unknowingly won Gan Ning's heart.
Because Gan Ning was very rebellious, he joined Lu Bu's army to just a better stage and could help him to meet the heroes of the world. If Lu Bu's army could not give him this stage, then Gan Ning would leave without hesitation. Now the two documents moved Gan Ning very much, because the ancients cared too much about the title of Marquis. Although they were just a small Hanzhong Marquis, it also made Gan Ning start to return to Lu Bu's army!
Although Gan Ning gave up his first contribution, Lu Bu still did not treat Gan Ning badly and appointed Gan Ning as a captain of Hengjiang, Gan Ning, which was a miscellaneous general. Originally, Lu Bu, the General Pingdong, could not be granted a general, but with the titles of Liu Mang, the King of Shu and General Zhengnan, Liu Mang could open a mansion, so the title of a general was naturally no problem.
The battle on the riverside of Wancheng Water Village not only destroyed the Wancheng Navy but also captured some of the people. Lu Bu's army had selected 5,000 people from those prisoners and joined the Ganning Navy. Now there are 12,000 naval troops. A single army has formed.
Huang Zhong and Lu Bu named Huang Zhong a brave general, and also a miscellaneous general. Lu Bu asked Huang Zhong to recruit 3,000 people to lead his own army. But Huang Zhong refused. He just wanted to follow Liu Mang as a personal guard. Lu Bu happened to be worried about Liu Mang's safety and agreed.
Xu Sheng was named General Weilie, and the three thousand black chess army was defeated to half of the troops. Lu Bu was not stingy, so he assigned nearly two thousand people to Xu Sheng to re-establish the troops. Although the black chess army was killed in battle, those heavy armors were still there. As long as someone had been trained for another half a year, he could form an army.
As for the city management army Liu Mang pulled the two thousand Danyang soldiers into it, the combat effectiveness of these two thousand Danyang soldiers was amazing, they were brave and good at fighting. It was just that there was no military discipline, so it was difficult for anyone to restrain them. Now with the third master, the Chu Battalion did not dare to jump too much. If the other Danyang soldiers dared to jump, they had to see that they could beat the Chu Battalion and were the boss. After getting the heavy armored giant shield of the city management army, these Danyang soldiers were of unique power.
Cheng Yu also had a high water rise. Although he did not participate in the offensive and defensive battle in Ancheng this time, he reported to Lu Bu Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. In addition, Cheng Yu himself had a certain ability to command the army with force, so Liu Mang simply threw the city management army to Commander Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu is no longer a military Sima, but a general.
Although Zhang Fan and Gao Shun had not changed the number of troops they commanded, they were promoted to official positions, including General Gao Shun Houde and General Zhang Fansuiyuan.
It was Liu Kai and his son. Liu Kai was appointed as the Wancheng Order. Liu Neng was originally going to be placed in the local area, but Liu Neng insisted on following Liu Mang.
Huang Xu replaced Cheng Yu's original position and became Cheng Yu's deputy general commander of the city management army.
Although Chen Deng lost Shucheng this time and was almost killed, Lu Bu still added General Suinan to Chen Deng to appease Chen Deng.
Zhang Liao Zangba, who was far away in Shucheng, was also named General Wolf Cavalry and General Taishan.
Chen Gong's official position remains unchanged. He is also the military advisor of the entire Lu Bu army. He does not need much official position. His existence is irreplaceable in Lu Bu army.
As for Liu Mang, only the one from Xu Du can give him a reward. The only reward that Lu Bu can give Liu Mang is to get married to Miss Lu in Wancheng ten days later.
After rewarding a group of generals, the rest was to treat the prisoners. Gan Ning caught a big fish this time. Jiangdong Army military advisor Lu Su Lu Zijing, Jiang Qin had been chopped into meat paste by Gan Ning's anger, but Lu Su was caught by Gan Ning and kept it in prison. Persuading Lu Su to surrender? That was simply impossible. Not to mention that Lu Su and Lu Bujun have different ideas and ideas, just talk about the reputation of Lu Bu's three surnames slaves, don't expect Lu Su to stay and be a counselor of Lu Bu's army! In this world, Chen Gong is the only one who can ignore the eyes of the world.
Lu Su is now a big bargaining chip in Lu Bu's army. What should Sun Ce's army talk about? He has already arranged an envoy.
"Old man Chen, this Yang Hong is really reliable!" Liu Mang was a little confused, because the messenger Sun Ce this time was Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu. This person is not a small person, but a real strategist, and a real strategist who can see the general trend of the world. He is not inferior to top strategists like Chen Gong, Guo Jia and Xu Shu!
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhao moved south to Yangzhou to avoid war. When Sun Ce started his business, he appointed him as the chief secretary and the general of the army. If this was the case alone, then Mu Liu Mang would not worry. The key point is that Liu Mang had also seen the Three Kingdoms and still had some understanding of Zhang Zhao, especially one thing, before Sun Ce entrusted his younger brother Sun Quan to Zhang Zhao, and even said that if Ruo Zhongmou did not take charge, he would take it himself. He would not win the victory, so he slowly returned westward without any worries!
What does this mean? If Sun Quan is not good, you should take over the major events in Jiangdong by yourself! Such words have also been said in Liu Da'er's mouth that at that time, Liu Da'er was already the Emperor of Shu, and this is how he entrusted his orphans in Baidi City.
Zhang Zhao was like Zhuge Liang in Jiangdong to Sun Ce. The only thing Zhang Zhao was criticized was that he strongly advocated Sun Quan for peace in the Battle of Red Cliff, and was finally speechless by Zhuge Liang, but that was really Zhang Zhao’s idea!
You should know that the entire Three Kingdoms are basically praising Liu Bei and Liu Da'er, so they will naturally beautify Zhuge Liang. Zhang Zhao knew that Sun Quan was actually a person who was tolerant, in other words, a person who was determined to be stable, ambitious but did not want to take risks! This can be seen from the fact that Sun Quan was the emperor several times and he was like the Wei State's ministers. Zhang Zhao could not see what kind of person his lord was. Instead of persuading himself, it would be better to do the opposite. He sought peace and used other people's verbal words to persuade Sun Quan. The result was very successful. Sun Ce's army and Liu Bei's army were able to defeat Cao Cao in Chibi, which was very useful to Zhang Zhao's overall planning in the rear. Zhang Zhao was like Zhang Liang Guan Zhong! His latest influence on Zhang Zhao and Liu Mang was attending Sun Ce's wedding in this Anhui City. Zhang Zhao broke the situation of rectifying the Jiangdong gentry while raising his hand.
Now Jiangdong sent such a great master to talk about it. If it were Liu Mang, Liu Mang would definitely pull Old Man Chen up to confront Zhang Zhao. These two people were equal opponents, not Yang Hong. Yang Hong almost didn't say anything in the Lu Bu army. It was not that he pretended to be deep, but that he was really not the material for a strategist. Some of the suggestions he gave to Yuan Shu were good, or even extravagant, such as attacking Liu Bei. At that time, Xuzhou had been occupied by Lu Bu, and Liu Bei had only a few cities. If there were any plans, he should know that at this time, he should be united with Liu Bei to deal with Lu Bu or directly watch the tiger fight to obtain the greatest benefit, but Yuan Shu ran over and attacked Liu Bei. Liu Bei was bigger and weaker, while Lu Bu was even more firm in Xuzhou.
"Don't worry. Your retainer is not just a little bit of ability!" Chen Gong smiled and stroked his beard. It was true that Yang Hong was not the material for a strategist, but don't forget that Yang Hong may be inferior in strategy, but in diplomacy, Chen Gong also considered himself inferior!
How did you know Yang Hong when you know Yang Hong? That's because Yang Hong was once the chief minister of Yuan Shu. At that time, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were still in the honeymoon period! And Yang Hong was Yuan Shu's chief diplomat. How did Miss Lu get engaged with Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao? It was not proposed by Lu Bu himself, but was "forced" by Yang Hong. Yang Hong gave Lu Bu's bargaining chips to Lu Bu's army was to form an alliance with my Yuan Shu Jun. If you don't know that Lu Bu only had one daughter. Getting Lu Bu's daughter is equivalent to getting Lu Bu's country. Also in front of Lu Bu, there was Chen Rui who asked Lu Bu to marry his daughter into their lord, but Chen Rui was killed directly by Lu Bu.
The same words were said by different people, and there were two results. Yang Hong spoke, and Lu Bu even planned to send his daughter to Shouchun to take him, while Chen Rui said that he was killed directly by Lu Bu! Lu Bu even took Sun Ce for Chen Rui, which led to the Lujiang Battle.
"That fat man Yang is really so powerful?" Liu Mang really didn't understand. The fat man didn't speak all day long, so he just stayed in his mansion or read books in the study. He didn't expect that he had such a great position in Chen Gong's heart!
"Wait for the good news!" Chen Gong left with a smile.
In Anhui City, two middle-aged scholars were drinking water in a large courtyard.
A middle-aged scholar had very upright facial features, and he showed a kind of virtuous person when he raised his hands and feet, while another chubby scholar was very casual and just thought it was his home.
These two people are Zhang Zhao and Yang Hong. Originally, Zhang Zhao came to Wancheng, and the first one should have been received by Lu Bu, but after Yang Hong's suggestion, Zhang Zhao was not only not received by Lu Bu, but even did not even enter the prefect's mansion. Instead, Yang Hong pulled him to the mansion and drank tea.
Zhang Zhao was very calm on the surface, but his heart was surging. "The first time, Zhang Zhao couldn't guess what another person was thinking. It was also the first time that Zhang Zhao suffered a loss unintentionally!"
The purpose of his coming here was to negotiate with Lu Bujun. He did not expect that the lord's 100,000 army would eventually escape back in a panic. Even the most elite Jiangdong naval army and 5,000 Yuzhou cavalry were lost. General Taishi Ci fled back. General Zhou Tai, General Chen Wu, General Dong Shi, and General Jiang Qin all died on this land. These people had met several months ago, but now they are separated by heaven and earth.
After a defeat, this is not the reason for Zhang Zhao to come to the peace talks. He came here because Lu Bu's army had Lu Su, the leaders of the Jiangdong gentry, and even the young master of the gentry and the head of the family! These people were Zhang Zhao's first purpose this time, and the second purpose was because the Lu Bu's navy was still crossing the Yangtze River, and he had been going upstream these days. Now one of the three elite navy troops in Jiangdong was destroyed by Lu Bu's navy, one was guarding Jiangdong in the hands of Sun Quan, a clan brother of Sun Ce near Kuaiji, and the other was in Jiangxia in the hands of Zhou Yu. If this Lu, who destroyed the Jiangdong navy, had destroyed the Jiangdong navy.
The Bu army ran to Jiangxia and expressed an agreement with Liu Jingzhou. Then the Jiangdong naval army would be very happy. Even if Zhou Yu was both wise and brave, he could not withstand the attack on both sides. The final outcome would be defeat. Even if the Lu Bu naval army did not cooperate with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, standing there would have an impact on the morale of the Jiangdong naval army. Zhang Zhao's third purpose was to test the new weapon, the weapon that destroyed 30,000 Jiangdong naval army. He told the words of the soldiers who fled back that this weapon could be launched hundreds of steps away. One launch could destroy a warship, and they could even shoot without pulling the bowstring.
The two of them didn't talk to each other. Zhang Zhao looked at Yang Hong indifferently on the surface, and Yang Hong squinted his eyes and smiled. A cup of tea in his hand had been tasted by Yang Hong again and again. Every time he drank it, it was full of a feeling of enjoyment, as delicious as eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but this was a cup of clear water!
Neither Zhang Zhao nor Yang Hong spoke because both of them knew that once who spoke first, they would lose half of the time, because as soon as you spoke, you might expose your anxiety and your thoughts, and be led by the enemy without realizing it.
One hour, two hours, three hours, half a day passed. The two of them still didn't say a word, and the guards standing next to them felt tired, and the tea on the table was changed again and again.
The sun was about to set, and the light of the setting sun shone in the courtyard. Just when Zhang Zhao was a little impatient, Yang Hong suddenly stood up.
"There is a door!" Zhang Zhao was happy. Yang Hong finally couldn't stand it and was about to talk! Before Zhang Zhao could be happy, Yang Hong narrowed his eyes and hugged Zhang Zhao, clasped his fists and half-bowed his body and said, "It's getting late, Brother Zibu Hong won't disturb Brother Zibu's rest, so I'll say goodbye!" Yang Hong turned around and left before Zhang Zhao could react.
"What's the situation?!" Zhang Zhao was stunned. It wasn't that what was agreed? It wasn't that that you could speak first! Now, seeing Yang Hong's fat figure getting farther and farther away, Zhang Zhao could only smile bitterly. He was originally sent to Wancheng to come to talk to Chen Gong, the first counselor of Lu Bu's army. However, Chen Gong did not appear, but a man named Yang Hong came. Yang Hong was once the chief of Yuan Shu. This was the most information Zhang Zhao could get. Yuan Shu had already lost. How capable could his chief of the chief of the army be! So Zhang Zhao was very happy at the beginning, because such a character represented Lu Bu's army and negotiated with him meant that he would completely gain the upper hand. Although they lost on the battlefield, Zhang Zhao must humiliate Yang Hong well in this verbal battle, and by the way, the interests of the Jiangdong army were also maximized!
However, after the two of them introduced each other politely, there was no further information at all. The courtyard was arranged by Yang Hong, and the two of them drank tea in the courtyard for an afternoon.
He really underestimated him! "Yang Hong, Yang Hong!" Zhang Zhao could not remember this character. Just when Zhang Zhao was at a loss, a personal guard next to him spoke, "Sir, do you want to know the information about Yang Changshi!"
"Shi Shi Yang!" Zhang Zhao turned his head and looked at the talking guard, "Do you know him? Yang Hong?!"
"Yes!" The guard nodded. He was sent by Sun Ce to be Zhang Zhao's personal guard to protect Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao was Guan Zhong and Zhang Liang to Jiangdong, so Sun Ce was very concerned about Zhang Zhao's safety. The guards sent were all Sun Ce's personal guards. These people have followed Sun Ce since a long time ago, and the earliest one was when Sun Jian was still there. The guard in front of him was the guard who followed Sun Ce when Sun Ce was still serving Yuan Shu. He really knew Yang Hong and had a rough understanding of some of Yang Hong's things.
"Come on, tell me what kind of person is this Yang Hong!" Zhang Zhao ignored the superiority and etiquette and directly called the guards to sit down, and even poured a cup of tea for the guards himself. Only by knowing his skin can he be defeated in a hundred battles. He wanted to pull his teeth from Yang Hong's mouth, no, it should be said that he was pulling his teeth from Lu Bujun's mouth, so he must know when Lu Bujun opened his mouth!
"Mr. Yang Hong, I used to be the old lord, no, no!" The guard subconsciously regarded Yuan Shu as his lord again. "It was the chief of Yuan Gonglu in the past, and Yuan Gonglu is very important to Mr. Yang Hong!"
"Reused?!" Zhang Shao thought, he was really a character. Although Yuan Shu was defeated, he could not kill a group of people at once. Maybe Yang Hong was a talent, otherwise how could Yuan Shu value him! The official position of Changshi cannot be achieved by just wanting to do it. Zhang Zhao himself has also been the position of Changshi, so he naturally knows the importance of Changshi. Moreover, Yuan Shu was dead, but Yang Hong survived was not simple, not simple!
"Haha, Mr. Zhang Zhao, you guessed wrong!" The guard looked at Zhang Shao's solemn gaze and said with a smile, "The reason why Mr. Yang Hong was valued by Yuan Gonglu was because Mr. Yang Hong could speak!" The guard remembered that Yang Hong was a big celebrity around Yuan Shu at that time. If anyone wanted to be promoted to a second and a half position, he would definitely go to Yang Hong first, because only the lord could listen to what Yang Hong said. Yang Hong was very popular at that time. At that time, the guard still remembered that when he followed Sun Ce, Sun Ce was like giving gifts from Yang Hong during the New Year and the Festival!
"Can speak?!" What does this mean? Zhang Zhao looked at this personal guard in confusion. It means that he can speak but it has several layers! Which kind of personal guard is talking? Is it the same as what he thought?!
Chapter completed!
