"Beihai County has always been barren. The main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves has never been to Beihai. Even if the Yellow Turban Thieves are now in chaos and they are leaderless, no army will be stupid enough to borrow food from Beihai."
Lin Feng almost laughed out loud when he heard Xi Zhicai's analysis. This meant that Guan Hai was a fool. He was stupid enough to come to Beihai to borrow food. As a result, instead of borrowing food and grass, Guan Er Ye had his head chopped off and wasted nothing.
Lost his life.
"The thieves currently surrounding Beihai City cannot be Yellow Turban thieves at all, at least they cannot be regular Yellow Turban rebels. According to Tan Ma's report, most of these thieves speak with a Xiapi accent. According to this situation, a person comes to mind. This is
His surname was Que Xuan, a person from Xiapi. In the early years, he had gathered a crowd to fight against the government and was later suppressed. He was the only one to escape with his life. Since the demon Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban disaster, Que Xuan appeared out of nowhere and gathered several people.
Thousands of people raised troops to fight against the court again. According to Kuang's calculations, the bandits besieging Beihai should be under Que Xuan's command."
"Que Xuan? I seem to have heard of this person, but even if it was Que Xuan who besieged Beihai and not the Yellow Turbans, why did you assert that the siege of Beihai was a conspiracy by others?"
"Haha, my lord is too old-fashioned. Think about it, Que Xuan himself does not have strong military strength. It is already extremely difficult to survive in the Xiapi area. How did he get the strength to suddenly appear under Beihai City? Apparently someone not only secretly supported Qian Liang, but also even
He also borrowed a large number of troops to fight with him. It is more likely that Que Xuan's command was not his subordinate at all, but a puppet. This army besieging Beihai actually had another commander, so it was possible to easily defeat the tens of thousands of Zhen family troops in Beihai.
"
"According to your estimation, who is using Que Xuan's name to come to Beihai to cause trouble?"
"My lord, you are asking this question knowingly. Que Xuan is from Xiapi, who can command Que Xuan?"
"Is it Tao Qian, the new governor of Xuzhou?"
"Although my lord's words are not true, they are not far off."
Lin Feng is completely Spartan.
If what Xi Zhicai said is true, then Tao Qian is no joke.
Did Beihai provoke you?
Just run your Xuzhou well, why bother coming to Beihai when you have nothing to do? Could it be that Tao Qian already has the intention to annex Beihai?
It's impossible. The world is not yet in a state of separatist rule. Even if Tao Qian kills Zhen Yi, the governor of Beihai, it is impossible to merge Beihai into Xuzhou. The court will soon send a new governor of Beihai. Tao Qian is worried about this.
There isn't much benefit.
"Sir, even if Tao Qian kills my father-in-law with the help of Que Xuan, Beihai cannot fall into his hands. So what's the point of Tao Qian's move?"
"My lord, what you said is wrong. Kuang never said that Que Xuan was appointed by Tao Xuzhou. Tao Gongzu is a man of upright character and has great ambitions, so he would never have made such a conspiracy. Judging from the situation, Que Xuan must have been appointed by Xuzhou.
Assigned by a powerful person, this person not only holds a high position and holds military power, but also must have important military achievements. Once Zhen Beihai is frustrated at the hands of Que Xuan, or even killed by Que Xuan, this person will have great confidence to board Beihai.
The position of governor is why Que Xuan invaded Beihai."
In Xuzhou, there were very few people who held a high position of authority, had great military exploits, and were good at plotting and plotting. Lin Feng didn't even need to guess, as a name almost came out of his mouth.
Zang Ba Zang Xuangao!
Xi Zhicai's guess was correct.
Que Xuan came to invade Beihai precisely under Zang Ba's instructions.
Speaking of which, it was precisely because of Lin Feng's time travel that the incident deviated from the historical trajectory.
If we follow the normal historical trajectory, Zang Ba conquered the north and south under Tao Qian, defeated many yellow scarf thieves, and was appointed as the cavalry captain. At this time, he should have united his army and stationed in Kaiyang area with high spirits, and became the overlord of his own side, free and easy.
Indescribable joy.
However, due to the appearance of Lin Feng, the battle of Changshe was carried out in advance, and Bocai and He Yi were killed in the battle. As a result, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Xuzhou was suppressed several months in advance. As a result, Zang Ba did not always station troops in Xuzhou as in history, but followed him.
Huangfu Song conquered Julu in the north and achieved more military exploits, which also triggered Zang Ba's ambition in advance.
After the Battle of Julu, Zang Ba returned to Xuzhou with Tao Qian, and was named General Pi and the hero of Xuzhou. His status in Xuzhou was only lower than that of Tao Qian. This ending not only did not satisfy Zang Ba, but made him more eager.
Go up another floor and look forward to ascending to the position of prefect one day.
Since he had been under Tao Qian's command for a long time, Zang Ba did not dare to peek at Tao Qian's position as the governor of Xuzhou. After carefully analyzing the situation around him, Zang Ba turned his attention to Beihai.
Zhen Yi's talents are mediocre. Everyone who has come into contact with Zhen Yi can tell that if Zhen Yi didn't have a good son-in-law Lin Feng, let alone the position of Beihai Prefect, he would have been able to save his life in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Zhen Yi is extremely lucky.
Zang Ba watched as Zhen Yi, who was far below him in both talent and strength, not only rose to prominence, but also rose rapidly from Shang Cai Ling, whose official position was far lower than Zang Ba's, and climbed to the position of Beihai Prefect in just a few months.
Moreover, with the help of Lin Feng, he met the emperor several times, gained enough political capital, and the road to advancement in the future became wider and wider.
All this made Zang Ba's eyes red with jealousy and his psychology became more and more unbalanced. Naturally, Zang Ba's target was Beihai Zhen Yi.
The acquaintance of Que Xuan and Zang Ba was quite accidental.
Originally, Zang Ba was ordered to go to Xiapi to annihilate Que Xuan, who had proclaimed himself emperor. Unexpectedly, one of Que Xuan's subordinates was once a fellow villager with Zang Ba. Through this relationship, Que Xuan and Zang Ba conspired several times to achieve an agreement.
protocol.
Zang Ba pretended to attack Que Xuan, and Que Xuan pretended to be defeated and fled into Beihai. If Zhen Yi's son-in-law Lin Feng led his army to Beihai City, then Que Xuan could detour to Jizhou and flee to Youzhou. If Zhen Yi's men could only fight
Lin Feng hasn't arrived yet, so Zang Ba will lend Que Xuan 20,000 Yellow Turbans to surrender, and he will conquer Beihai first.
Que Xuan obviously arrived one step earlier than Lin Feng, so Beihai City was besieged.
Of course, Xi Zhicai is not a god, and he cannot guess the specific situation between Zang Ba and Que Xuan out of thin air, but this does not prevent Xi Zhicai from reasoning things out and figuring out the context.
At this time in Xuzhou City, Zang Ba was sitting upright on a tiger-skin chair, with two people sitting beside him on the left and right, Sun Guan and Yin Li, whom Zang Ba had always relied on as his right-hand men.
"Zhongtai, do you think that idiot Que Xuan can kill Zhen Beihai?"
Leaning back in his chair, Zang Ba lazily asked Sun Guan questions.
Sun Guan, courtesy name Zhongtai, was from Taishan, Yanzhou. Looking at his face, he had a good face, fair complexion and handsome appearance. If someone unfamiliar with him saw him for the first time, he would definitely think that Sun Guan was a successful scholar.
He was a scholar, but he didn't know that although Sun Guan was born with the appearance of a scholar, he was actually a first-class warrior beside Zang Ba. He had known Zang Ba since he was a child. Since he started his army with Zang Ba, he would always attack first in battle and never charge into battle.
After falling behind, he had nearly a hundred scars all over his body, and he was known for risking his life when facing enemies.
"Xuan Gao, how many times have you asked me this today? It seems that your mood is difficult to calm down. This is not like your usual behavior."
Sun Guan and Zang Ba were growing up, and they always talked casually between them.
"Zhongtai, I have no reason to worry about this. Although Zhen Yi is mediocre, his son-in-law Lin Feng and Lin Zhirou are so powerful. You saw it with your own eyes in Changshe. He was hit by an ax in the horse's crotch, and he killed several people in front of the battle.
General, the ruthless bandit Bocai was all over Qingxu, but he was so frightened that he did not dare to fight. If Que Xuan cannot capture Beihai before Lin Feng arrives, then our plan will definitely fail this time. It doesn't matter if Que Xuan dies, it's just
It's a pity that I lent him the 20,000 surrendered soldiers."
"Xuan Gao is overthinking. Although Que Xuan is not a brave and invincible warrior, he is definitely not something that a nerd like Zhen Yi can resist. As long as Que Xuan is given half a day, Beihai City Gate will definitely be breached."
The person who said this was Yin Li and Yin Shifeng.
Compared with Sun Guan, Yin Li's appearance is simply horrible. He has squinted eyebrows, a bulbous nose, and a face full of pimples that could scare a ghost to death.
Although Yin Li was ugly, he was quite talented and was a confidant who started his career with Zang Ba. Later, after Yin Li surrendered to the white-faced Cao Cao with Zang Ba, he once served as the prefect of Dongguan (this Dongguan is not the same place as the modern Dongguan, Guangdong).
Dongguan County during the Three Kingdoms period was located in what is now Shandong Province, located in the northern area of Linyi City).
Yin Li's words obviously sounded very satisfactory to Zang Ba. Zang Ba straightened up from his chair and said with a smile: "Lu'er, do you think Que Xuan can definitely break into Beihai City and kill Zhen Yi?"
Yin Li's nickname was Lu'er, and Sun Guan always called him Zang Ba, who was close to him.
Sun Guan glared at Yin Li and said before Yin Li spoke: "Xuan Gao, what Lu Er said is the best situation. I advise you not to have too much hope in Que Xuan. We and Que Xuan
Having fought against each other, do you feel that Que Xuanxiang is someone who can attack the city? If Zhen Yi is stupid enough to go out of the city and fight with Que Xuan in the field, then Que Xuan has a great chance of succeeding."
Sun Guan's meaning was very clear. The thieves who came from Quexuan's first-class bandits really didn't have much experience in attacking cities. I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to pose a threat to the solidly walled Beihai City.
Zang Ba could also understand that it was just that he was too worried about gains and losses, which made him seem a little rude. After hearing Sun Guan's persuasion, he sighed and retracted his body into the seat.
Yin Li retorted unconvincedly to Sun Guandao: "Zhongtai, I don't like to hear what you are saying. You also agreed to encourage Que Xuan to attack Beihai. If Que Xuan really can't do anything to win over Beihai Zhenyi, then we have to spend all our efforts to create such a
What will you do when you come out?"
Sun Guan smiled slightly, patted Yin Li on the shoulder and said: "Lu'er, when it comes to stabilizing the morale of the army and raising food and wages, I'm not as good as you. But when it comes to marching and setting up formations, and the two armies confronting each other, you're still far behind. Back then I
He agreed that Xuangao would use Que Xuan's hand to attack Beihai, but he didn't expect to solve the matter once and for all. He lent troops to Que Xuan just to let Que Xuan touch Lin Feng and Lin Zhirou to see how he would react to Zhen Yi's siege.
.”
"Lin Feng is Zhen Yi's son-in-law, how can he react to Zhen Yi being surrounded? Of course he must move forward and try to save his father-in-law."
"Haha, Lu'er, your thinking is too simple. If Lin Feng really reacts like this, then I guarantee you that within three months, Xuangao will be given the post of Beihai Prefect, and you and I can leave Xuzhou and go to
Beihai is happy."
"Zhongtai, what do you mean by this? Please explain to me, why am I getting more confused the more I listen to you?"
