Chapter 208 Chapter 29 Do not take Hanzhong, only take the world (1)

208 Cao Cao was about to return to Yecheng after inspecting the military situation in Xiangyang.A secret agent came back from Jingzhou to report the news that Sun Liu would have a war. The reason why Sun Quan and Liu Bei went from forming an alliance in the early stage to tearing up their faces and hating each other was to compete for the land of Jingzhou. Liu Bei promised Sun Quan that if he captured Yizhou, he would return Jingzhou, but after Yizhou was in his pocket, he didn't say a word about Jingzhou.Later, Lu Su, who maintained peace in Jingzhou, died, and Guan Yu was in Jiangling

A heavy army was assembled in the area, and they made a gesture to face the Soochow Army. Sun Quan first wanted to solve the Jingzhou issue through diplomatic channels, so he sent Zhuge Jin, the elder brother of Zhuge Liang who was an official in Wu, to meet Liu Bei and demand the return of Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei declined and said: "At present, I am trying my best to win Liangzhou. After Liangzhou is in hand, I will return all Jingzhou to you!" Zhuge Jin had no choice but to report the truth to Sun Quan. Sun Quan was furious after hearing this: "This is Liu Bei's shameless excuse for not returning Jingzhou. He delayed the return and falsely responded to me.

.He also cultivated Guan Yu's influence, I must cut off his feathers!" Therefore, it was ordered to reset the administrative positions of the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang to prepare for the reception.But Guan Yu ordered the military to be on alert, prohibited officials from Soochow from entering the city, and sent troops The team expels it.The administrators of the three counties fled back in embarrassment. Sun Quan was furious when he saw this, and ordered Lu Meng to lead an army of 20,000 to retake Jingzhou County by force.Not to be outdone, Liu Bei liberated Shu in person.

When they arrived at the police, they ordered Guan Yu to use force to help them.The battle between Sun and Liu is imminent. Regarding this situation, Cao Cao called Zhang, Xu, Li and other generals to analyze it. Zhang Liao said: "Sun Quan is unable to fight against the king and Liu Bei, so he repaired with you so that he can deal with Liu Bei freely; Don't take Sun Quan seriously.Yuxia believed that the king was helping Sun Quan on the surface, but in fact he stood still and watched the situation quietly. " Cao Cao said: "Wenyuan means 'the fight between the snipe and the clam, the fisherman will benefit'. However, the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and the main feature of this period is the sudden change of friends and enemies. Please adapt to the situation,

Don't be careless. " Cao Cao rearranged the troops in Xiangyang, Fancheng, and Hefei, and transferred the troops from Yujin to the south to strengthen the defense in the south. In the first month of spring in the 23rd year of Jian'an in 209, Guan Yu led his army to attack Xiangyang City. Cao Jun suddenly couldn't defend the city and retreated to Fancheng. Cao Cao was about to go to the front to supervise the army, but he didn't know that disaster happened in the backyard Xiaoqiang, a major military coup took place, he hurried back to the city to put it down, and handed over the command of the southern front to Cao Ren.

This military coup was called the "Gibbon Incident". Jiben was Emperor Xian's imperial doctor, and he was quite supportive of Cao Cao at first, but he often went to see the emperor's doctor in the palace of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty in Xudu. Gibbon secretly received the imperial decree and colluded with his two sons Jimiao and Jimu in Xudu. Shaofu (financial officer) Geng Ji and Sizhi (prime minister's administrator) Wei Huang participated in it.Geng Ji, Ming Ji Xing, his ancestor was the founding hero of Han Gaozu, who was blessed by the Han royal family in the past, so he was the backbone of the loyal Han Dynasty against Cao Cao.He first moved from the prime minister's secretary to the servant, and then he was promoted to the Shaofu of the Han Dynasty.Gibbon and him

After getting in touch, he agreed.When he saw that Cao Cao was enfeoffed as a prince and used the "emperor's car suit" when he went in and out, he had long felt aggrieved.Later, he got in touch with his good friend Wei Huang, who said sadly: "Although you and I hate Cao Cao's power, but he has a large army and is careless in his actions. He will end up like Fu Wan and Dong Cheng!" Geng Ji said: "They lost power because they did not act carefully and had no soldiers. If we want to succeed, we must organize an army to disarm the king's imperial guards and occupy Cao's mansion."

Wei Huang lacked confidence and said, "Recruiting soldiers is easier said than done." Geng Ji said: "Your good friend Jin Yi is the successor of Jinri Shidan, and he is loyal to the court. He is the commander of Luoyang, and he has some army horses under his command." Wei Huang suddenly realized, and said with great joy: "Jin Yi has always wanted to fight Cao Cao, and he and Cao Cao's confidant Wang must be old friends for many years. If he participates, Wang will definitely not doubt it." Therefore, Wei Huang, Geng Ji, Jin Yi, and Ji's father and son formed a group to defeat Cao.In order to confuse Wang Bi, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, Jin Yi often visited him. Because of this relationship, Wang Bi's spies

Dare not to spy on the Jin family, Wei Huang, Geng Ji, and Ji's father and son can rest assured to carry out the conspiracy plan at Jin Yi's house. Wang must be Cao Cao's confidant and veteran, loyal and trustworthy.After the death of Xun Yu and Xun You, he served as the highest official of the prime minister's mansion and concurrently served as the leader of the Imperial Forest Army in the capital Xudu. Cao Cao arranged for him to monitor the emperor and all civil and military officials. At the beginning of the first month, Jin Yi, Wei Huang and others intensively discussed the plan for the uprising. Jin said: "On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the city will be lit up to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Geng Shaofu, Wei Sizhi, you two gathered

Servant, go to Wangbi's mansion to ambush. I will send assassins into his mansion to assassinate. Once successful, I will directly wipe out his army, and then ask the emperor to summon a hundred officials to attack Cao Cao.Brother Ji Brother, please lead my thousand soldiers into the city from outside the city to create momentum. "The few people have a certain plan, so they swear to the sky, make blood for alliance, and then actively mobilize troops and horses, and act on time. On the night of the incident, Jin Yi first visited Wang Bi's mansion and took the opportunity to keep the assassin behind.The Ji brothers went out of the city on the pretext of hunting and joined Jin Yi's soldiers.

rush in.Wang Bi and Jin Yi drank until the second watch before Jin Yi left.At this time, the king must have been slightly drunk, and his feet were floating.A concealed assassin rushed out and slashed away.Wang Bi is skilled in martial arts, Dodging to dodge, the guards hurriedly armed to resist.Another assassin set fire to it, and Geng Ji and Wei Huang, who were in ambush outside, led three hundred soldiers into the palace, and a scuffle immediately broke out. . Holding the sword, Wang Bi desperately resisted the attack of the four soldiers and killed two of them. He himself was also stabbed a few times. Blood flowed from his arms and buttocks. Geng Ji also shot his shoulder with an arrow. middle.His life was at stake. At this time, a guard led a horse to cover his escape.Wang Bi endured the severe pain and fled to Jin Yi's house on horseback.When the pursuers come from behind, the king must be in a hurry to abandon Horse walk.Go to Jin Yi's door and knock on it.It turned out that Jin Yi did not return home after he resigned from the palace. He led people to set fire to the city and recruited the Ji brothers into the city.His house hears that the king will knock at the door, I only said that Jin Yi was back.The servant asked through the door: "Master, have you killed Wang Bi?" He tried his best to kill the pursuers. Although he was already a blood man, his desire to survive made him extremely brave. He beheaded four or five pursuers on the spot, deterring the enemy.The king will rush at the cavalry again, and cut down took the soldier's arm.The soldier howled loudly and fell off his horse. The king would grab the horse and gallop away. Seeing the fire inside, the Ji brothers outside the city knew that the matter was half done, so they rushed in with shouts, and countless people watching the Lantern Festival lanterns were trampled to death by horseshoes. Thieves, help the Han Dynasty" slogan. Wang Bidan rode at night to the army of Yan Kuang, the general of Diannong Zhonglang, outside the city of Xudu. He ordered 5,000 soldiers at once.Xu Du Although the city was controlled by Jin Yi and others, some of Cao Cao's generals still guarded the gate of the palace where Emperor Xian lived, preventing the emperor from joining Jin Yi and others.
