Chapter 20 Siege
Compared with Puyang, the army led by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei on Chenliu encountered strong resistance. Chenliu was the place where Cao Cao made his fortune. Although Cao Cao was promoted to the governor of Yanzhou and moved to the capital, Chenliu County, as the place where Cao Cao made his fortune, was also the most stable place for the people's hearts. Chen Gong regarded this place as the first choice for the first round of attacks, and even asked Liu Bei to lead his army personally in order to break Cao Cao's foundation.
Although the guard general was killed by Zhang Fei at the first time, Wei Hong, who was guarding Chenliu, was a veteran who followed Cao Cao to rise up in his early years and was also a local family. He had a deep influence in Chenliu. Liu Bei advanced to Chenliu and Zhang Fei attacked the guard general. Wei Hong responded immediately and quickly closed the city gates and persuaded the people to defend the city. When Liu Bei arrived at Chenliu, the four gates of Chenliu were already closed, and he acted as if he was strictly guarding the city.
"Brother, this old Wei Hong is too cowardly!" Zhang Fei led his black horse back to the camp and looked at Liu Bei helplessly. He greeted the 18th generation of Wei Hong's ancestors outside the city today, but Wei Hong actually refused to send troops.
刘备站在大帐之中,看着眼前的陈留地图,皱眉道:“不肯出城迎战,那便逼他出城,传令三军,兵围陈留,绝水断粮,看他能够支撑到几时.”
Wei Hong was a veteran of Cao Cao. When the heroes attacked Dong, he had spent all his family to support Cao Cao in rebellion and could not surrender. He lost the opportunity at this time. Although Chenliu had only one group of people defending the city, Liu Bei was unwilling to attack. He knew very well that he was famous for his benevolence and righteousness. If he attacked him for his strength at this moment, even if he attacked Chenliu, he would have a reputation for massacre of the people.
Is fame important?
It is important to say it is important, but if it is not important, it is not important, what is Cai Yong's reputation? In the end, he did not help him escape death. But for Liu Bei, reputation is really important, especially when he did not have the prominent reputation of the three men of four generations like Yuan Shao, nor did Cao Cao's current strength. Fame was the only southeastern thing that Liu Bei could do.
至于汉室宗亲的身份,当初孔融帮他想朝廷求取,却被天子婉拒,刘备就知道在没有足够实力之前,想要获得汉室宗亲这个身份的好处,很难.
Therefore, Liu Bei cherishes his feathers even more. In terms of origin, any prince who is called the best all the way is better than him. In terms of official titles, he has been the biggest one he has ever been a Pingyuan County Magistrate. Although there are Chen Gong and Yanzhou families who are helping him, this is also a lucky one. Liu Bei is very clear that this is the Yanzhou family who is using him. Now he seems to have thousands of troops under his command, but these are all empty. As long as these Yanzhou families are unhappy, they can knock themselves back to their original form at any time.
别看刘备文不能安邦定国,武不能马上平天下,但他最大的优点,便是能够看清楚自身,知道什么是自己真正拥有的,而什么却是虚的.
So he has fought all over the world since the Yellow Turban chaos, and has been bumpy all the way. Although he was not satisfied, his reputation has become increasingly greater. Even the nobles like Kong Rong are willing to make friends with him, not only because of the reason behind King Jing of Zhongshan, but more because Liu Bei is good at being a human being.
