Guan Jing, Guan Shiqi, was regarded as a somewhat poor counselor by later generations. Although he himself may not agree with this view, he may even think that his abilities are no worse than those of Tian Feng, Xu You and others who are famous in Jizhou.
However, as the saying goes, "A fool will always succeed after a thousand considerations", and for the entire Gongsun Zan's staff team, Guan Jing can already be regarded as a being with higher intelligence attributes.
Therefore, when he finally couldn't bear the long argument and expressed his thoughts that he had been thinking about for a long time, he did give Gongsun Zan, who was still in a confused state, a "shout-in-the-head" to completely wake up the other party's brain.
Yes, Gongsun Zan is indeed no match for Yuan Shao in terms of his ability to gain support from powerful families. If this is the case, then why does he still have to deal with the other party in the areas where he is good at it?
Even an idiot can tell the difference between using one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses and using one's own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.
It's just that sometimes people are so strange. They can't figure out the reason for something that is obviously very simple, and finally fall into an endless loop from which they can't extricate themselves. In layman's terms, it means getting into a dead end.
At this time, someone is needed to pull out the guy who has fallen into a dead end. In fact, for many people, as long as they walk out of the dead end and stand on a slightly raised hill, they will be able to understand things.
the full picture and make the right choice.
It's just that sometimes when you come out of the maze, you don't know that you have stepped into a lowland again. What you see in front of you is just a very confusing "reality". There are even unlucky guys who are pulled out of the dead end only to be killed again.
Throw it into a new maze, and the unlucky guy becomes a background in the history of war just like the guy who was deceived and became lame but still yelled "thank you".
Therefore, many times the difference between an excellent strategist and a poor strategist is not the difference in IQ or brains between the two people. It is just that the former can put himself on the hill and overlook the entire situation more often.
battlefield, and the latter habitually wandered around in the maze.
Of course, there is a time when you can turn around in a maze, and when you are looking at the scenery on a hill, you may encounter a mudslide caused by a storm, slip and fall into the big hole in the maze...and cannot climb out, so the experience of turning the maze or
The effectiveness of famous military advisors who are not very proficient in terrain that they are extremely unsuitable for is not necessarily any better than that of crappy counselors who are familiar with the surrounding environment, especially for crappy counselors.
, they may not be able to find the exit out of the maze. But at least they will not starve to death or bleed excessively due to being scratched by various thorns because they stay in the maze for too long. On the contrary, those famous military advisors will not be able to find the exit because they are too long.
They were convinced that the exit was just ahead. Maybe they were right, but in the end they fell down on the darkest land just before the exit due to hunger or excessive bleeding, and became a good source of history.
In order not to become the waste of history like those unlucky guys, Gongsun Zan naturally did not want to sit back and die.
After pondering for a moment, Gongsun Zan made the decision and immediately began to make arrangements. When several subordinates who were familiar with his temper saw the firm look in Gongsun Zan's eyes, they were speechless because at this time, any advice was not necessary.
It will be more effective, and even if you are too verbose, you may be disgusted and resented by the strong-willed general in front of you.
Even Yan Gang, who was not that familiar with Gongsun Zan, was still very observant. Once he saw the changes in other people and the fundamental change in the aura of Gongsun Zan, he became like everyone else.
, stood there obediently, quietly waiting for the order issued by Gongsun Zan.
"Guan Jing, Yan Gang listen to the order!"
"My subordinates are here!" x2.
"You two will go to the side room to consider the list later, and list for me the list of families who have shown goodwill and great malice to us after our army entered Jizhou. For those families who support us, I, Gongsun Zan, do not mind letting
They have become a more powerful family and will exert greater influence and say in the future affairs of Jizhou. As for those guys who are stubborn and stubborn because no one dares to touch them, huh! They had such thoughts and opposed me back then.
Except for those smart guys who were given a way out for the sake of Liu Boan, the rest have become the excrement of wolves on the prairie! Now I understand why Dong Zhongying and Li Shushi hate those bastards so much. Hehehe
, Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. Since those guys feel that they can still dominate this land, then I don’t mind letting them calm down and know what it means to make friends!"
Although he said that he wanted to make friends with those people, Gongsun Zan's face was full of murderous aura at this moment, and it was hard to tell that he had any desire to "make friends".
Or maybe there will be tyrants who "make friends with cannons" in the future, so in ancient times there will be Gongsun Zan who "make friends with arrows"?
The rice tofu is so good~
"Where is Gongsun Fan?"
"Brother is here!"
"I order you to lead your troops to Bohai County to collect grain and grass. Among the families listed on the list, those who are better friends with our army can be ignored even if they delay or make less money for the time being. However, those stubborn elements among the families listed on the list should be ignored.
An additional 50% will be added to the tax burden, and as long as those families have any resistance, delay or insufficient amount, their families will be uprooted! If that is the case
If some families are wise and can hand over more than 10% of their shares, then I, Gongsun Zan, am not a rude person and can allow their names to be removed from the list. As for the remaining common people and families not on the list,
Collect according to the normal share. If there is delay or insufficient amount, you will decide how to deal with it depending on the situation. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Brother, please rest assured, I will definitely let those guys know your majesty, big brother!"
"Very good, Yan Gang. After you draw up the list, you will also lead your troops to Hejian to collect the Autumn Fu. The handling method should be similar to that of Wu Zhong."
"Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely provide the soldiers with enough food and grass to support their use, and I will not let you down, my lord."
If what Gongsun Fan is thinking about now is how to carve up more oil and water in the operation, then what Yan Gang is thinking about most at this moment is how to bring down those families who usually look down on him, and then let himself and Yu himself be friends.
Good families get more shares. In this way, the elders in the clan who originally opposed his defection to Gongsun Zan should shut up.
"In addition, Wu Zhong and Shu Ji, in addition to raising food and grass, you two also need to send more scouts to explore the Hutuo River and Zhangshui River to find where soldiers can be stationed, where it is convenient to cross the river, and where
It is convenient for a small group of troops to make a detour and raid. Be sure to provide our army with detailed terrain information. The autumn harvest is over. It is the day of the decisive battle between me and Yuan Jun!"
"On the frontal battlefield alone, the outcome between us and Yuan Jun is probably still 50-50. After all, the geographical advantage lies in the hands of Yuan Jun. Therefore, in order to further weaken Yuan Jun and strengthen our army's momentum, you two also need to shoulder the responsibility.
Important mission."
"I would like to share the worries of the general!" It was still x2 in unison.
"The Qingzhou Plain Country connects Bohai Sea and Ganling County. It is an extremely important transportation artery. If it is controlled by us, it will threaten the flanks of Yuan Jun. If this area is controlled by Yuan Jun, not only will our army's flanks be
Under threat, even the rear will become unstable. In this way, whoever seizes the terrain first can gain a strategic advantage, which is in line with the art of war.
"Fighting for land", but for us now, it is also "qu territory". Therefore, Zongfan, Yuanchang, and you should try their best to be polite first before fighting when they arrive in the plain, and maintain good relations with the surrounding forces, especially the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and the Taishan Bandits.
And Tao Qian of Xuzhou, if we can get him to help, it will be a great achievement. When the time comes, whether it is the governor of a county or the governor of a state, Zan will not hesitate to reward him."
When they heard the reward offered by Gongsun Zan, both Tian Kai and Shan Jing were so excited that they could not even speak. Although the promise made by Gongsun Zan was somewhat like giving a bad check, since the example of Yan Gang has been laid out before, then
This also means that if they can really do it, it is obvious that Gongsun Zan will never turn his back and deny his credit.
As for Gongsun Zan, the main reason why he dared to offer such a high price was that in his heart he did not believe that Tian Kai and Shan Jing were capable of doing what he hoped they would do later.
After all, the leader of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is not clear. Qu commander Xu He, Sima Ju and others are not subordinate to each other, and it is difficult for them to agree on each other. Even if one of the forces can be roped in, it may not be unreasonable.
The rebound of other branches may lead to group fights if the situation is slightly bad.
The situation in Taishan is also complicated, and compared to the relatively independent Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, the Taishan thieves are more inclined to Bao Xin, who is also from Taishan. Although Bao Xin is not Yuan Shao's subordinate, his relationship with Yuan Shao is obviously better than
He was much closer to Gongsun Zan, so it was equally difficult to win over those extremely unruly guys in the mountains of Taishan County.
As for Tao Qian, the overlord of Xuzhou, because of his close relationship with Yuan Shu, he can be enlisted as an ally to fight against Yuan Shao. However, the distance between Xuzhou and the Bohai Sea is not that far. It can be said that water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near, let alone the gap in between.
With Qingzhou in chaos, I'm afraid the only thing Tao Qian can do is to give Gongsun Zan some moral support.
However, it is said that one of Tao Qian's main targets in recent times is the bandits in Taishan County. If Tian Kai and Shan Jing can make good use of this opportunity, they may not rule out the possibility of achieving something.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Gongsun Zan is so generous and hopes to stimulate his two men. If he can really complete the task beyond his expectations, then it will indeed live up to the promise made by Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan also
He is not the Xiang Yu who played with the seal and was unwilling to let others play with it. He has learned from history and said that he is definitely a good lord.
"What a pleasure."
"General, please give me your orders."
"I will repair a book later and you can send it to Xuande for me. I don't think I need to tell you what to say."
"Just please be kind. If there is a villain, the general's affairs will be handled properly."
Listening to the flattering voices of the people in front of them, whether they were generals like Gongsun Fan, Yan Gang, or counselors like Guan Jing, they all frowned, with disgust flashing in their eyes, but the guy who nodded and bowed to Gongsun Zan did not.
It was as if he hadn't seen it at all. Perhaps he knew his position in Gongsun Zan's army very well, and he also knew exactly what attitude he should show at what time in order to protect himself to the greatest extent and at the same time give a fatal blow to those who looked down on him.
After some arrangements, Gongsun Zan turned his attention back to the military map that had been spread out in front of him, staring at the cities, villages, valleys, and rivers above, and gradually fell into a domain that belonged only to him.
middle.
And his subordinates all walked slowly backwards and left here, trying not to make a sound. After all, they knew very well that Gongsun Zan in this state would never allow others to disturb him, because he was the one formulating the battle plan at this time.
The most important time to think beforehand. Only a quiet enough environment can help Gongsun Zan formulate an excellent battle plan and lead them to the next success.
They all believed that Gongsun Zan would definitely lead them to victory one after another, no matter whether the enemy was Yuan Shao or anyone else, and no matter what the identities of those who followed Gongsun Zan were.
While Gongsun Zan was busy studying how to defeat Yuan Shao, Gongsun's army was causing a bloody storm in the two counties. Tian Kai and Shan Jing led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Pingyuan Kingdom to start their own operations. They camped in Zhuojun, Zhongshan and Hejian.
Liu Bei, who was at the junction of the two cities, also received a letter from Gongsun Zan.
He did not give Le Hedang a chance to speak. Liu Bei only kept Pan Gong and Zhang Fei, his two most trusted brothers, but did not leave any other subordinates in his military tent, including his own relatives.
The guards were also driven out, and then they removed Gongsun Zan's autographed letter with a serious look. They considered it bit by bit, word by word.
"Brother, what did Gongsun Zan say? If he dares to say bad things about eldest brother, third brother, I will take people to destroy him!"
Seeing Liu Bei's gaze lingering on the silk that was not too long for a long time, his face was cloudy and clear, completely different from his usual expression of joy and anger, but he just didn't say a word, his temper
Zhang Fei, who was even more impatient, naturally couldn't help but ask questions.
Mr. Zhang's thunderous voice was like a thunderbolt, waking up Liu Bei from his thoughts, and frightening Liu Bei who had devoted himself wholeheartedly to his thoughts. But fortunately, similar things have already been experienced.
Quite a few, and seeing the concerned expressions of his second and third brothers, Liu Bei smiled but remained silent.
"Brother~~~" Liu Bei's behavior naturally did not satisfy the third master, so he used a cute voice that he didn't know whether to act coquettishly or playfully to his elder brother. The third master transformed into the best resentful spirit and continued to instill powerful thoughts into Liu Bei.
Sonic attack.
"Okay, second brother, don't disturb the eldest brother's thinking anymore. We should trust the eldest brother and make a good choice."
Although Pan Gong, the second eldest brother, seemed to be trying to persuade his third brother Zhang Fei, in fact, as long as you saw his staring eyes staring at the eldest brother Liu Bei, you would know that at this moment, this guy was also worried about the same thing in his heart.
Zhang Fei was also waiting for Liu Bei's explanation.
When he saw his two "living treasures" younger brothers, Liu Bei, who originally looked a little hesitant, couldn't help but smile the most sincerely. At the same time, the two younger brothers who saw Liu Bei's smile also showed smiles of trust and concern.
It seemed that it was because of this smile that Liu Bei finally made up his mind:
"Second brother, third brother, eldest brother wants to tell you a few words from his heart. Are you willing to listen?"
"Eldest brother, please rest assured. If you have any difficulties, please tell me and second brother. Didn't we already say it when we became sworn brothers? In the future, we three brothers will enjoy the blessings together, and we three brothers will also bear the difficulties together."
"The third brother is right. If the eldest brother can't trust us, then who can he believe? Do you think it's the eldest brother?"
"Okay, okay... It's worth it for me, Liu Xuande, to have good brothers like you in this life!"
"Brother, please tell me what Gongsun Zan wrote to you to make you so embarrassed."
"Bogui and I have known each other for more than ten years. Although our tempers are a bit outspoken, it is just because we are good-natured people. We have also guarded the border for our country for several years. This is an important reason for the well-being of the people in my border areas. It can be said that
A good man."
"Then why did the eldest brother's face become so bad after reading the letter written by Gongsun Zan?"
Who said Zhang Fei is a rough guy? His ability to observe people's emotions doesn't seem to be bad at all.
"Yide thought too much. Bogui just wrote to me to discuss sending troops to fight against Yuan. However, the letter mentioned that his former classmates were studying, so he thought of some old things in the past and felt a little emotional."
"My eldest brother sent troops to help Gongsun Zan this time because the Patriarch of Liuzhou was willing to do so. I'm afraid Gongsun Zan is not unaware of this, but now he wants to impress my eldest brother with his old feelings. I'm afraid..."
Pan Gongruo is probably the worst among the three brothers when it comes to knowledge, but his many years of traveling in the world have given him insight that is no less than that of Liu Bei. He can even see certain things more clearly, so he
Even Zhang Fei is very convinced by his second brother. Although he does not have a clear title, Pan Gong can be said to be the number one military advisor in Liu Bei's army now.
"I know, I really know it. Over the years, I have heard many times that with the joint efforts of Liu Zhoumu and Bogui, the originally unruly Hu people have become obedient and obedient people. So I heard that the imperial court awarded me
It can be said that Yuyang was full of joy when he was the governor, hoping to follow the two of them to build a successful career and live up to their ambitions.
Who would have thought that when I really walked in between the two of them, I would find that there were constant conflicts between the two people who thought they had a tacit cooperation. If the Han Dynasty was not in turmoil now, I am afraid that the memorials of the two people criticizing each other would have been piled up in Luoyang Yousi
desktop.
I originally hoped to mediate with my own efforts, so that even if the two parties could not become as close as one family, they would be able to put aside their old grudges. But now, the two of them have become incompatible. What Liu Zhoumu wanted in his heart was that he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
Descendants naturally know that Yuan Benchu, a loyal minister, committed such a treasonous and unethical act.
It's really hateful. But Brother Wei is really tired. Brother Wei just wants the people under his rule to live and work in peace and contentment, just like the beautiful scenery described by those business travelers from Bingzhou, but most of my time is wasted.
In this matter, second brother and third brother, what do you think we should make as brothers..."
"Brother, could it be that you...could you have other ideas?"
"I still can't hide it from my second brother... Yes, I heard a while ago that the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were so powerful that they killed Gong Jing, the governor of Qingzhou, and Liu Yun, the king of Jinan, in Jinan. Later, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, and Liu Cheng, the king of Qi, were in Qi State. Qingzhou was in chaos.
.Although Beihai Kong Wenju tried his best to support him, Kong Wenju was no better than a scholar. Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid the odds are stacked against him."
"Brother is planning to give up his post as Yuyang Governor and lead his troops to Qingzhou?"
"You don't have to give up. Wouldn't it be better to have the emperor's edict?"
"Now that the eldest brother has made a decision, the younger brother can rest assured. Is it just the war in front of us?"
"Haha!!! After being suppressed for so long, it's time for Brother Wei to relax. Moreover, I also want to let the doll of the Yuan family across the street know that when I, Liu Xuande, was fighting to the death on the battlefield, he didn't know where he was playing.
Where is Niba? He is seeking his own death by despising our brothers so much!" (To be continued...)
