Chapter 114: Qiao Mao died
Wen Chou had known that this was the ending of the Sour Jujube Alliance, and had a much clearer understanding of the so-called "clear-flowing famous scholars" of the moment than Sun Jian, so he was not surprised and angry. He smiled and said, "Didn't the Wentai hear the 'lip spear and tongue'?"
"Lips and spears and swords?"
"Using lips as spear and tongue as sword, this is the style of those who are the ones. When it comes to fighting on the battlefield and being brave in doing things, it is not as far away as Brother Wentai. ≧"
Speaking of this, Wen Chou felt aroused and thought: "I heard the word "mouth" in my previous life. Isn't it actually just 'verbal and verbal'?" No matter ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, there are always people who "sit and discuss the truth", talk endlessly, hold public opinion in their hands, and are "rewarded" by the world. In fact, what they say is a castle in the air, which is unrealistic, and they are "useless" when putting specific things.
After receiving this praise from Wen Chou, Sun Jian's anger was slightly reduced.
He drew out his sword, crossed his thigh, stroked it with his hand, and flicked his fingers gently, sighing, "I heard that Dong Zhuo rebelled and controlled the court with his strength, and I was filled with righteous indignation. Therefore, when you wrote a letter, I immediately raised an army and responded, and came to Yingchuan to join forces with you. What are you doing? Isn't it just to eliminate Dong's thieves with the heroes of the world and to protect the Han Dynasty? Now that the Dong's thieves have not been destroyed, the sour jujube star is scattered, which is really hard to suppress the anger."
"Although the Sugar Jujube Alliance dispersed, there were still chariots and cavalry. General Yuan, Han Jizhou, Meng De, and you and me, there are still more than 100,000 coalition forces. You can wait for it and wait for Dong's army to lose its aura, and then we will attack it together, and it will be difficult to win."
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, they were the "first advocates" for the uprising this time, and they were the "first evil". The clan in Luoyang was killed by Dong Zhuo, and there was no way out at all. Therefore, even if the sour jujube star was scattered, they had no choice but to stand to the end.
"Yu Jin can only do this."
By the end of April, the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Sourjujube had almost dispersed. In addition to Zhang Miao, only Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao's troops were left behind. On the other hand, the sourjube army was scattered, which confirmed the success of Dong Zhuo's strategy of "stripping them and attacking them".
If it weren't for the exception of Sun Jian and Wen Chou in the Kanto coalition. Now Dong Zhuo only needs to deal with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers were not in harmony, Dong Zhuo sent elite troops to "strike him" again, which is not impossible to win. Unfortunately, Sun Jian and Wen Chou in the coalition, so Dong Zhuo's "final victory" can only be a "possibility".
In early May, a shocking news came.
The news was brought by Tian Chou.
"Lord, Hashi Yuanwei is dead."
"How did you die?"
"For Liu Yanzhou, Chenliu and Jiyin, they attacked him. They were defeated and died."
Qiao Yuanwei is Qiao Mao, Liu Yanzhou is the governor of Yanzhou Liu Dai, Chenliu, and Jiyin refer to Chenliu Prefect and Jiyin Prefect.
Wen Chou asked carefully, but it turned out that Qiao Mao was arrogant and had a conflict with Liu Dai. With the help of Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao and others, Liu Dai fought with Qiao Mao, but Qiao Mao was defeated and fought in a dead battle.
Both Chenliu and Jiyin counties belong to Yanzhou, and Qiaomao is the prefect of Dongjun. Dongjun also belongs to Yanzhou. On the surface, this battle of fire was a power struggle within Yanzhou, but its essence was found by Qiaoshi.
Tian Feng sighed, "The clan of Qiao Yuanwei's clan is powerful, I have heard of it for a long time. When he stationed troops in the jujube, Changling condemned Liu Yanzhou and Zhang Chenliu's dukes. Now they are Yanzhou. Chenliu and Jiyin attack them together. They are defeated and died. Can it be said that they are causing trouble for themselves?"
Qiao Mao was born with a noble family and a strong personality. He was a risk-taking person.
How powerful and dared to take risks is, you can see from one thing: "This time, the rebellion of Guandong was launched, and the prefectures and counties did not dare to move because there was no excuse, but only he dared to take the big flaws of the world, correct the letters of the Three Dukes and circulate the world, thus causing all the roads to rise up." This incident, - You must know that at that time, the emperor of the court, the emperor of the court, was in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and even Yuan Shao did not dare to raise an army rashly, but he was the one who dared to correct the letters of the Three Dukes and did not take the safety of the court and the emperor seriously.
This shows his character.
He was so powerful and he was proud of his achievements, so he met with various troops and horses. At his usual gatherings, he had heard of this many times.
At that time, Tian Feng, Tian Chou and others once said: Qiao Yuanwei was arrogant and relied on his merits, and Ling Mei was in the alliance. I am afraid that he would have a quarrel with Yanzhou and Chenliu Gong sooner or later.
Whether in terms of real power, military and horse corps, or personal reputation, which one is inferior to Qiao Mao? In terms of real power, Liu Dai and others are either on par with Qiao Mao and are also the prime minister and county magistrate of two thousand stones. However, although their rank is low, such as Liu Dai, they have "low rank and weight"; in terms of military and horse corps, each with tens of thousands of troops, which is no worse than Qiao Mao, and some military and horse corps have more than Qiao Mao; in terms of family and personal reputation, he Like Qiao Mao, most of them are children of the princes or noble families of generations. As for them, they are famous all over the world. Not to mention anything else, just take Liu Dai as an example. He is not only a relative of the Han Dynasty, but also a "child of the prince". His father served as three ministers several times when he was in court, and he had a close relationship with Yuan Shao, the "leader of the alliance" who started the war. Just imagine: How could he bear the shame of being contemptuous of Qiao Mao for a long time?
Sure enough, he couldn't swallow this, so after the Sour Zao Army dispersed, he and Zhang Miao and others joined forces to kill Qiao Mao.
Xun Yu shook his head repeatedly and said, "The Lords of Sourzao have stationed their troops for several months, but there is almost no battle. The soldiers are dispersed and returned, and they have started internal struggles. The so-called heroes in the world are really mediocre and inaction, and it is difficult to plan major events."
What Tian Feng and others saw was that the army of Sour Zao was not enough to plan major events, but what Wen Chou saw was another thing.
He thought to himself: "Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others fought with Qiao Mao, which opened the prelude to the fact that Guandong Prefectures and counties no longer talked about right and wrong, no longer recruited troops to prepare for war in the name of seeking Dong, and began to compete for territory nakedly."
Before this incident, the more than ten troops that had already launched a war in Kanto, as well as more prefectures and counties that had not yet launched a war, were in a sense, in an alliance, and their common enemy was Dong Zhuo.
But after this incident, no matter who is right or wrong, Qiao Mao and the others are, the ironclad fact that Qiao Mao died shows that orderly ally relations will gradually begin to change to disorderly and chaotic disputes and civil strife.
In fact, "debating Dong" is just a political banner. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Han Dynasty is about to be destroyed and the world will have a new master. If it is really for Dong, how could the more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry in the Sourzao not move and fight for several months? It is clear that most of them are taking the title of "taking advantage of chaos to make profits and expand their own strength". The battle between Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others and Qiao Mao is just a necessity for development. Even without their battle, there will be other battles sooner or later. (To be continued.)
