Chapter 362 Execution of generals (seven)
"General, the rebels will attack Qingzhou, and there will be a fierce battle...
Since the thief was dominating Youzhou, he has been very powerful and has strong combat power. The person who commanded the enemy territory this time was Taishi Ci, and I think the general is familiar with him. Taishi Ci is a veteran general of the thief Yuan Cong, who is extremely brave and has outstanding military tactics. The thief ordered him to come this time and must be sure to win the Pingyuan County. The general must be guarded, and there must be a general stationed in Gaotang, so as not to divide the enemy into two groups and cut off the retreat route."
The speaker is named Sun Guan, whose courtesy name is Zhongtai, and he is also Zang Ba’s confidant.
When Zang Ba was a bandit in Taishan, he had four generals under his command, named the Four Great Bandits. Sun Guan was the leader of the four Great Bandits, Wu Dun, Yin Li and Chang Xi. However, after Zang Ba surrendered to Cao **, Chang Xi and Zang Ba, one of the four Great Bandits, turned against each other and left Langya.
He ran to Donghai, and later colluded with Liu Bei to cause rebellion in Donghai County.
At the beginning of the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao ** raised troops to conquer Liu Bei and killed Chang Xi... The four major gangs were only Sun Guan, Wu Dun and Yin Li.
After Zang Ba went from Langya to Qingzhou, he also brought Sun Guan and the other two with him.
Now that he heard Sun Guan say this, Zang Ba frowned.
He was indeed a little afraid, but he said aside before the fight. If he said such words at this time, he would probably hurt everyone's anger.
"Zhongtai said something, but there is no need to worry too much.
Now that the thieves are in Liangzhou, Jizhou are all fighting, and there are chaos in Liaodong, the thieves may not have too many soldiers and horses. This time, he is probably trying to disrupt the current situation. There will be not too many soldiers and horses, so there is no need to worry too much. Since I joined Cao Gong, I have not made any achievements. Now, Taishi Ci is invading, which is a good opportunity for me to serve my lord and make achievements. How can I retreat?"
Sun Guan's eyebrows moved, "The thief uses troops to fight, come quickly and be treacherous."
Although the battle between Liangzhou and Jizhou is plagued by it, don’t forget that he now owns four states and can renew Zhang Yan’s millions of black mountains. You must be careful.”
Zang Ba was a little unhappy!
If it weren't for knowing Sun Guan's temper, Zang Ba would have thought that Sun Guan was deliberately destroying his platform.
"So, as Zhongtai said, can we abandon the plain?"
"Of course, the plain cannot be abandoned, but the way of retreat needs to be preserved... If the general believes in me, he will go to Gaotang to take charge, so as to ensure that the general has no worries."
"Is Zhongtai afraid?"
"How do you say this to the general? Since Guanyin surrendered to the general, he has been fighting for the first place in every battle. How could he have ever been afraid?"
"But Zhongtai is now a little afraid."
Sun Guanwen was furious and was about to stand up to argue, but he felt someone pulling his clothes around him.
Turning his head, it was Yin Li pulling him. Sun Guan was a little confused, but he saw Yin Li standing up and saying, "General, please calm down, Zhongtai is afraid of fighting, and he is also thinking about the general. It is better to do this. You Zihou goes to Gaotang to take charge, and the last general and Zhongtai are willing to go to Ande to block the thieves' troops."
Zihou is Wu Dun.
This person was one of the four great bandits. He was the prefect of Licheng and had always had a good relationship with Zang Ba.
More importantly, Wu Dun and Zang Ba are in-laws, so Zang Ba's daughter married Wu Dun's son, and the two were very close.
In terms of talent, Wu Dun is not as good as Sun Guan.
But in terms of relationships, Zang Ba will undoubtedly trust Wu Dun more.
After hearing this, Zang Ba's eyes slowed down.
He did not agree to the increase in Gaotang, but hoped to send someone he believed more to be in charge of Gaotang.
In contrast, Wu Dun undoubtedly made him feel more at ease. However, Sun Guan provoked this, Zang Ba could not dissuade Wu Dun. Moreover, he also knew the temper of his in-laws and did not like to argue. So it was obviously unlikely that Wu Dun jumped up and talked. Therefore, Zang Ba had to force Sun Guan to change his mind, and then he could dissuade Wu Dun. However, Sun Guan obviously did not understand his meaning and almost started arguing with Zang Ba. Fortunately, Yin Li saw the clues, otherwise Zang Ba would not know what to do.
"Zhongtai, you are good at using troops and are the person I trust the most.
Only then can I feel more at ease with you and Gongzhi to guard Ande... As for Gaotang, as Gongzhi said, Yuzihou is the most suitable place to go."
Sun Guan frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
But since he had said this, he couldn't say no to refuse.
But there seemed to be a thorn in his heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable... At that moment, he and Yin Li bowed to take the order and turned around and left. After Sun Guan and Yin Li left, Wu Dun slowly stood up and walked to Zang Ba and whispered: "Xuan Gao, you are in a mess."
"ah?""
"It is a big taboo for military strategists to be confused before fighting.
Zhongtai and Gongzhi are both loyal to you, and your approach today is indeed a bit hurtful.
But I can understand your thoughts, but you'd better explain this matter to Zhongtai. For many years, don't be unhappy. In the Gaotang side, you just have to worry. The thief is probably short of troops now, and he probably can't cross the river and attack."
Zang Ba nodded and sighed.
"It's still Zihou who knows me. Please rest assured that I will definitely solve this matter properly."
Wu Dun smiled and stopped talking.
Wu Dun was once a prefect for an official in the court, and to some extent, he was also Zang Ba's think tank. However, after all, he was an official, and his eyesight was different from Sun Guan and others. He knew very well when to say what to say and would never anger Zang Ba.
But there are some worries in my heart.
This time, Liu Chuang ordered Taishi Ci to capture the plain, but he came in a fierce manner, obviously coming for Zang Ba.
Wu Dun also knew the grudge between Zang Ba and Liu Chuang. When Zang Ba turned against each other, Wu Dun had persuaded Zang Ba that you would rebel if you rebel, and you would betray him if you betray him, but why did you rush to the front? This was simply hated.
If Liu Chuang and Lu Bu don’t die, they will definitely not let you go.
Why don’t you stick to Kaiyang and let them fight to death? What’s indispensable to this contribution is yours.
But Zang Ba refused to listen at that time and insisted on attacking Liu Chuang from behind. The result was that although he defeated Liu Chuang, he also angered Liu Chuang.
But these words cannot be said now.
What was Zang Ba’s thoughts? Wu Dun knew it even more.
Isn’t I trying to leave a way out for myself to defend Gao Tang? The purpose... Humph, let Sun Guan and Yin Li go to Ande to die.
After leaving the gate of the royal capital of the Plain, Wu Dun got on his horse and went home.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife coming up and whispered: "Master, there are guests at home."
"guest?"
Wu Dun's heart moved.
His old wife has been with him for many years and knows Wu Dun’s thoughts best.
If an ordinary person comes to visit, the old wife will never come to inform him in person, and she will not look mysterious. The old wife does this, which means that the person who comes is unusual. At this time, it may only be...
Wu Dun nodded expressionlessly, signaling that he knew.
He and his wife returned to the back house and led them to a remote cross-yard.
I saw a man standing in the yard. He looked about thirty years old, with a clear appearance, a short beard under his jaw, and a bit scholarly.
"Where did sir come from?"
Wu Dun was not polite and asked straight to the point.
The man smiled slightly, "Low Liu Guang, a member of Gaotang of Pingyuan Kingdom, is here to pay a visit to General Wu."
Gaotang, Pingyuan Country?
Wu Dun looked up and down at the person coming and suddenly said, "I remember that the Pingyuan King has a branch, which seems to be in Gaotang, but I don't know what your relationship is with the Pingyuan King?"
Liu Guangdao: "There is nothing to do with King Pingyuan, and he is the descendant of King Hui of Jibei."
As he spoke, Liu Guang bowed to Wu Dun again, "Six years ago, I was scolding Qiu Ling.
However, the disaster was caused by the rebuke of the enemy, so he was also implicated, so he kept recuperating at home. Now he came to visit the general, and was indeed invited by his fellow clans to tell the general. "
The same clan?
That's the Han family's relative?
Wu Dun hesitated for a moment and waved his hand, "Please talk in the house."
When the two walked into the house, Wu Dun winked at his wife, and the wife said goodbye and left.
However, outside the house, someone was secretly sent to guard him to avoid being eavesdropped on him. The lady walked straight to the wing room next to her, while urging the spinning machine, while thinking about the other party's purpose.
"I wonder if sir, who is asking me?"
Liu Guangdao: "I was invited by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and said one thing to the general."
Liu Shou, King Hui of Jibei, has long been declining.
But in terms of calculation, this person is also a descendant of King Zhen of Jibei. Liu Chuang was also the descendant of King Zhen of Jibei. Speaking of which, he is still the same clan as Liu Guang.
Wu Dun's face changed slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "But I don't know what the emperor's uncle has to give?"
Liu Guang laughed and said, "My clan uncle asked me to tell the general that the revival of the Han Dynasty was the general trend and no one could stop it.
The general was also a minister of the Han Dynasty. Why did he help a rebel? Pingyuan County did not need to be war-related, and the clan uncle was only Zang Xuangao. Why did the general want to be a rebel-related, and the people were disturbed by war and caused the people to suffer?
Of course, the clan uncle has another saying, "Does the general want to rebel against the Han Dynasty for me?"
Wu Dun's face suddenly became particularly ugly.
He was not unhappy because of Liu Guang's words, but Liu Guang's words hit his weakness.
You should know that in his heart, Wu Dun still had a lot of feelings for the Han Dynasty. Even though Zang Ba rebelled, it was a last resort. At that time, the princes rose one after another, and the emperor was controlled by Dong Zhuo, how could he be willing to serve the thieves? In addition, Zang Ba was indeed quite famous at that time, so Wu Dun gave up his family business and followed Zang Ba as a bandit.
Later Cao ** welcomed the emperor, and Wu Dun was also very happy.
Wu Dun also put a lot of effort into Zang Ba’s surrender...
But he knew that the situation is changing now. Cao ** used the emperor to command the princes, which aroused dissatisfaction among many people. Liu Chuang rose to the northern border in the name of the great Han emperor and expanded the territory, which was a major event that had never been seen since the Guangwu revival. In fact, in the eyes of many people, Liu Chuang is gradually replacing Xu Du and becoming the hope of the Han Dynasty's revival. Wu Dun knew about this?
He took a deep breath and sneered, "Sir, this is a bit too much.
Today, I am still in Xudu. What’s wrong with me following the order of the Emperor?”
Liu Guang laughed, "Why should you deceive yourself? The emperor is right, but the emperor's fate is difficult to leave the imperial city."
Wu Dun's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything for a while.
