Although the problem of the Xianbei people is the top priority that the Bingzhou Army needs to face, and Xianbei's pressure on the Bingzhou Army cannot be ignored at any time, before obtaining more detailed information, all the Bingzhou Army can do is to accumulate strength to pry out the situation.
Time of day.
"This news is also very interesting. Master, please don't be shocked when you hear it."
This time it was Cheng Yu who spoke, while Jia Xu closed his eyes and meditated, looking like "I don't want to say anything." Could it be that the old fox had accumulated too much presence on his body and was not used to it?
Bar.
Jia Xu's obsession with presence is now a well-known "secret" in the Bingzhou Army. Everyone has long been accustomed to some of his habits, and even Jia Xu now has a staunch follower beside him.
.
Well, it was the little fox Guo Jia who almost made Li Shushi ignore him in the venue just now.
Another victim of this world's mistakes.
Probably because he felt the full malice from the world (the world: blame me), Guo Little Fox followed in the footsteps of Jia Old Fox and embarked on the road of no return that kicked away his own sense of existence.
It's a pity that these two are not destined to be a certain Carlin, so let's give up this evil way, you two poor fox shoes.
Ahem, the topic seems to be in danger of going in a strange direction again, bring it back, bring it back.
"Zhongde, just say it directly. We won't be so surprised and act as if we haven't seen anything before. Even if you say that Yuan Jiujiu has officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, I will only yawn.
.”
"Oh. It turns out that my lord's city has cultivated to such a level. It's really admirable. That's why Tao Qian is dead."
"Hey, don't even look at who I am. Well, wait, what did you just say?"
"Tao Qian is dead."
"Oh...ha, ha, haha!!!"
Well, Li Shushi finally discovered that he still overestimated his own psychological endurance. Of course, he also underestimated the loss of integrity among his subordinates.
Well, this moment shouldn’t be the world’s fault. It’s all Li Shushi’s fault.
However, Tao Qian's death was really beyond his expectation. It would be understandable to say that he was caught off guard.
"Didn't he say a while ago that although Tao Gongzu was ill, he was not seriously injured? Why did he die so suddenly?"
"I don't dare to say whether there is something else going on in this matter, but didn't my lord have something to say? Whoever benefits the most from this matter will be the most suspicious. Maybe my lord can use his brain to make a guess.
.Maybe we can guess the real culprit behind this."
For Jia Xu and Li Shushi, who looked a bit weird today, he said that he had ignored him according to his ideas. This kind of guy who was so cautious just because he ate most of his favorite roasted lamb leg at the dinner table must be
Ignore.
“In addition to the lamb shank, there are also cold vegetables, spiced soybeans, fried river fish and garlic eggplant.”
"The last dish was caused by that guy Xiaoqiang."
"Because the lord has the most to gain, I am willing to give priority to suspecting the lord."
"Uh... Wen He. You seem to have a hint in your words."
"No, I just feel regretful that I didn't get to eat even one of my favorite dishes at the banquet just now."
"Okay, Tamago-chan, I'll leave this matter to you."
I hope Jia Wen and you old loli won't be fooled too badly by Su Xiaololi, who if she were a fox, she would definitely be a thousand-year-old vixen. In addition, for the sake of your image, it's better not to tremble all over and roll your eyes.
As for Cheng Yu, who provoked this "dispute", he looked at his nose, nose, and mind as if he was completely in trance, as if he suddenly had less presence than Jia Xu, the old fox. This happened to him.
, but it can also be regarded as an anecdote.
"Ahem, okay, let's continue discussing Tao Qian's affairs."
Although he also wanted to continue to enjoy the rare and interesting expressions of a certain old fox, it was not in line with the hard principles of sustainable development to spoil it. Moreover, Li Shushi's curiosity was indeed very interested in Tao Qian's death, so he secretly called Su Xiaoluoli.
made a gesture.
"Phew, Xuzhou is in chaos now. Phew, it seems that this chaos will not be quelled in the short term."
"Wen He, please explain in detail. Your ignorant words have made us even more confused."
After giving Li Shushi a "severe" look, Jia Xu seemed to sort out his brain before continuing:
"Although Tao Gongzu had to lie down and rest due to the cold, he was not the kind of weak guy, so we didn't pay too much attention to this matter. Especially in Qingzhou, Liu Xuande's troops had forced Yuan Xiansi's troops to rely on the Yellow River
Although Cao Bao in the south suffered some losses, the losses were not significant, so Tao Gongzu should have no mental problems."
"In other words, Tao Gongzu's death is probably a conspiracy."
"It should be considered so. More than three months ago, there was news that Tao Gongzu was seriously ill and died, but within half a month it was proved that it was just a play played by Tao Gongzu to test his subordinates. Although most people were not affected
Although affected by this incident, several hundred generals and two county magistrates still died at his hands, and there was also a small-scale troop mutiny near Tancheng.
But who would have thought that less than a month after this incident, Tao Gongzu would die like this. There are rumors that he vomited black blood, his eyes were wide open and he could not close them, as if he could not rest in peace. The most important thing is
What is interesting is that Tao Gongzu did not have clear opinions on how to deal with his two sons during his lifetime. There are rumors that Tao Gongzu
Gongzu was dissatisfied with both of his sons and believed that the foundation of Xuzhou would not survive in the hands of the two. Therefore, he seemed to be inclined to give Xuzhou to Liu Xuande, and the two sons would become rich men. However, there are also rumors that Tao Gongzu gave his wishes to his second son Tao Ying.
, so Cao Hong, Cao Bao's brother, was ordered to ask Tao Ying for his daughter from the Mi family in the East China Sea.
Therefore, after the death of Tao Gongzu, his son Tao Ying, the Tao merchant, is now fighting endlessly for that position. Both Liu Xuande in the north and Cao Bao in the south had to retreat to Xuzhou. After all, no matter what the results of the two men were, the victory or defeat in Tancheng was the only one.
It is the key to everything, so naturally I have no intention of continuing to fight on the front line."
"Then what's the situation in Tancheng now?"
"It's very confusing, so for the time being we can't figure it out. But what is certain is that the person behind the eldest son Tao Shang should be the Mi family of Donghai, and the person behind the second son Tao Ying is probably the Cao family of Pei State. Liu Xuande and
Another confidant of Tao Gongzu in the north, Zang
Although Ba did not clearly support whom, the two seemed to be advancing and retreating together. Xu Dan, Tao Qian's favorite general and the leader of his personal guard army, is now in charge of all military affairs inside and outside Tancheng and has not expressed his stance yet, but his attitude is the same
Very important. Also
The famous prefect of Guangling, Zhao Yu, Zhao Risheng, Tao Gong, a native of Xia Pi and Zuo Rong, the former Prime Minister of Pei, Chen Gui and Chen Hanyu, the head of the Chen family of the Pi family, etc. have a wide reputation. They can command a party and have rich family assets. Obtaining them will make the situation more clear.
.And in addition to these Xuzhou internal
Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde both sent envoys to Xuzhou. It was called to express condolences, but in fact it was to lobby all parties in Xuzhou. Yuan Gongli also ordered Zhang Xun to station more than 20,000 troops in Peixian County. Sun Ce stationed more than 10,000 troops in Xiaqiu, fearing that
It’s also like sharpening a knife.”
"Don't worry about Yuan Shu. At this time, he still wants to use soldiers to intimidate the opponent. Those Xuzhou scholars have a strong sense of localism, and Tao Qian's death is not to say that there are many doubts. Such an approach will only make people
Xuzhou is united as one, and may even turn to Yuan Benchu in order to counter Yuan Shu's impatience."
"There may be some truth to what my lord said. But firstly, Xuzhou is in chaos now, and neither of Tao Gongzu's sons is the master. Someone needs to stand up and take charge of the situation in Xuzhou. Secondly, Yuan Shu and Xuzhou are former allies, while Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde are both fighting against Xuzhou.
…”
"Okay, okay, how could such an idea come from your head, Jia Wenhe? If Fengxian thought so, it would be possible."
"Why did the topic suddenly come to me, and what do you mean by 'a little bit'!"
"That's what it means literally. I guess if it were you Fengxian, you wouldn't even have that thought. Maybe you would just pick up the gun and mount the horse and shout, 'Young men, charge with your grandfather Lu family, will you?
Take those bastards' heads off' or something."
"Although I know what my temper is like, Shushi, is this person you are talking about really me and not a bandit?"
"Didn't you say that you have been a horse thief before? This kind of work should be very familiar to you."
So Xiaoqianghao fell silent.
And in the entire hall, except for a certain soldier who was used to being calm, everyone else smiled.
As for what Jia Xu said just now, it may not be called wrong on the surface, and it may even sound reasonable. However, several counselors here are very clear that there is a very fundamental error in this statement, and that is
Tao Qian’s own attitude.
Although Li Shushi did not have much interaction with Tao Qian in this plane, he was still one of the people Li Shushi focused on, and from the information that came one after another, it was probably possible to piece together some of Tao Qian's personality traits -
- Ambitious, skillful, and somewhat strong-willed. Although he has restrained himself as he got older, his actions still have a strong personal touch. In addition, he also dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and does not care about even the children of poor families, let alone
Those who are from civilian backgrounds are the only ones.
Even if such an ambitious man in the late Han Dynasty chose Yuan Shu between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, such a choice was probably not to follow Yuan Shu all the way forward, but to make a decision after assessing the situation like Gongsun Zan in the north.
It seems to be a more beneficial choice for him. And compared to Gongsun Zan, who can be said to have faced the threat of Yuan Shao, Tao Qian's buffer space is obviously larger.
Such an alliance is just like the Sino-Soviet relationship in history. When the interests are generally consistent, it is naturally not a problem to listen to the words of the alliance leader Big Brother. However, in private, they are strictly guarded against Big Brother's dynamics, which is no weaker than externally.
The enemy is wary, and what he is afraid of is that Big Brother will inadvertently infiltrate himself for various reasons. Whether the enemy can be defeated by then is still open to question, but the foundation that has been infiltrated is riddled with holes.
Give it to others.
It can be seen from this that in the eyes of the Tao Qian Group, compared to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who are simply enemies, Yuan Shu is the force they are most wary of. Although they do not express this awareness verbally, they also understand it implicitly.
declare.
Precisely because they knew this, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could send envoys to deal with the various factions. Yuan Shu directly sent troops to threaten him, because Yuan Shu knew very well that it was impossible to change Xuzhou's attitude towards him with words alone.
manner.
But Li Shushi is also very clear that even if Cao Bao is really a fool, Mi Zhu is really just a visionary businessman, and Zuo Rong is really a good believer who only knows how to eat fast and chant Buddha, he will not be easily defeated when there are many choices.
To Yuan Shu. Especially if they turn to Yuan Shu, their original interests will be usurped by external forces.
As for the soldiers Yuan Shu placed there?
If Yuan Shu dares to go to war, regardless of what Yuan Shao will do, Cao Cao, the black-skinned dwarf, will never let go of the opportunity, and may even make some concessions (such as independence). Then he and Xuzhou will play a game for Yuan Shu.
Double attack.
Although it is not yet clear who gained the most from this incident, it is definitely not Yuan Shu.
In other words, it would be better if Yuan Shu waited until the situation became clearer before taking action or simply did nothing. However, with such an impatient performance, he really couldn't eat Xuzhou's hot tofu.
From this, we can see that Yuan Shu's heart has begun to swell because of his previous victory, and he can't see clearly the situation in front of him.
Yuan Jiujiu, who has dominated the world for more than ten years and attracted countless people's attention. From today on, if nothing unexpected happens, it can be concluded. And the most suitable comment for the rest of his political career is in the history of another dimension.
Kong Rong's evaluation of Yuan Shu's phrase "withered bones in the tomb" when he persuaded Liu Bei to lead Xuzhou as pastoralist.
"It's just that it seems hard to tell who benefited the most from Na Tao Qian's death?"
Tuoba Li looked around slightly, and finally couldn't help but raise his hand weakly. It wasn't that he really couldn't detect the smell. But now he was a rare opportunity, and he naturally didn't want to let it go. After all,
The counselors sitting next to Li Shushi must be among the most outstanding people in the world. It is precisely because of this belief that Tuoba Liwei, who rarely participates in discussions on such issues, keeps his posture very low.
, and now he is throwing himself out like a brick.
Regarding his little actions, except for Lu Bu and Gao Shun, two simple-minded creatures, even Li Shushi felt something was wrong. However, this feeling was not that the other foxes thought that the other party's performance was a bit too much, just that
I just feel that with Tuoba Liwei’s intellectual potential of 88 and having been trained by Su Xiaololi for so long, how could his thoughts be so simple?
"How can you say you can't tell who has the most profit?"
Unfortunately, the person who answered Tuoba Liwei was not the counselors whom Li Shushi valued very much, but the dead ant beside him.
"Huh? Zhongda actually knows the answer to that question! This, this..."
Looking at Tuoba Li's slightly shocked look, a certain dead ant didn't know what kind of expression he should show. As someone who had also been trained by a certain lolita for many years, he could be considered a being with the same fate. Between the two of them,
I have a good relationship, so even if I make a few jokes without restraint, it won't cause the other party to misunderstand.
Rather, it would be better to say that they were deeply influenced by a certain unreliable state pastor, and the integrity of these two people seemed to be constantly losing.
By the way, the current Sima Yi has not yet given the crowning ceremony, but considering that the Sima family plans to give their generation the same title as "Sima Nda" like Xun's Eight Dragons, so the second child Sima Yi's nickname
It goes without saying.
Of course, the most important thing is that Sima Yi extremely resisted someone's nickname of "Little Yiyi" given to him, which is why he had this nickname that was released in advance.
"Although Xuzhou's current political situation is in chaos, it seems impossible to figure out who benefits the most. But if it is connected with Liu Yu's death, then the answer becomes simple and clear."
"Zhongda, are you talking about Yuan Shao?"
"Yes, I think that taking everything into consideration, Yuan Shao should be the one with the greatest suspicion among these forces. As for the suspicion of other people, maybe it is like the plate of eggplant eaten by General Lu. We outsiders are in the current situation.
I'm afraid it's difficult to see clearly clearly, probably the other party just pushed the boat along with this kind of mood."
Sima Yi said these words to everyone present, and his judgment also received support from many people.
Indeed, one can feel a strong sense of conspiracy from the death of Liu Yu. Although there is no reliable evidence to prove it, why did Liu Yu, who knew he was not good at commanding troops, uncharacteristically lead an army to attack Gongsun Zan? Not only did he give
The other party was telling the truth and even compensated himself.
Is it because of the support of Karasuma people?
It is obviously impossible for Liu Yu not to know what Gongsun Zan's record was against the Karasuma people.
Judging from the results, although it seems that Yuan Shao has lost Liu Yu, a very important brand, considering that Liu Yu did not listen to Yuan Shao in the first place, if not for the quarrel with Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu would have been
He had no favorable impressions of Yuan Shao, an ambitious man who planned to destroy his lifelong reputation. Liu Yu's death was actually a good thing for Yuan Shao.
Not to mention that because of Liu Yu's death, Gongsun Zan fell into self-aggrandizement, and at the same time disintegrated some powerful Youzhou families who had originally placed their hope on Gongsun Zan. Almost in the blink of an eye, Gongsun Zan's power that had troubled Yuan Shao for a long time was there.
This situation has become shaky in the ups and downs, from tit-for-tat to easy, the only uncertainty is time.
Tao Qian's death has the same effect.
Because of Tao Qian's existence, Yuan Shao's Qingzhou strategy not only fell into a quagmire, but many people even thought that Yuan Tan was going to be outplayed by Liu Bei, his "old rival". Even if he was guarding a Yellow River, he would be completely unable to do so.
Reassuring. Such as
If this last line of defense cannot be held, then even if Gongsun Zan is in danger, his response to Liu Bei will still be enough to give Yuan Shao a splitting headache, not to mention that the power in Liu Bei's hands now is no longer comparable to that of Yuyang.
Also because of Tao Qian's existence, Cao Cao in the south needs to be distracted from facing the two enemies Yuan Shu and Tao Qian. Even though Cao Bao, the leader of the southern corps, is of limited skill, he is still barely competent as an auxiliary and harasser for the god-like Sun Ce.
Cao Cao always focused on one thing and lost the other, and the counterattack plan he had been brewing for a long time could not find the opportunity to implement it.
So, Tao Qian died, Xuzhou was in chaos, and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false.
With Xuzhou in such chaos, the pressure on Yuan Tan in Qingzhou disappeared immediately. Yuan Shao could free up his hands to deal with Gongsun Zan with all his strength. At the same time, he still had enough energy to go to Xuzhou to stir up the muddy waters and see if there was any advantage he could take advantage of.
With Cao Bao leaving in the south, Cao Cao can also concentrate his forces to deal with Yuan Shu, the biggest enemy of the Yuan Shao-Cao Cao alliance. At the same time, he can finally turn around and think about how to deal with the families in Yanzhou who are increasingly dissatisfied with the policy of suppressing the powerful.
The mighty ones.
And because of the cooperation of Yuan Shu, who has turned into a pig teammate, no matter which faction they are in Xuzhou, they are beginning to withdraw from the offensive and defensive alliance established with Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. Even if they will not join the Yuan Shao alliance for the time being, they are just neutral.
His attitude has already caused a huge change in the balance of power on the battlefield.
Not to mention there are rumors that Xuzhou is preparing to use its rich material reserves in exchange for reconciliation with the alliance with Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were already strapped for years of war, can breathe a little easier.
Therefore, even if Tao Qian's death was not caused by Yuan Shao, he was the tallest and gained the most from this chaos.
Even if the sky falls, a tall guy like you will have to hold it up.
This is probably what most people think.
However, unknowingly, Yuan Shao finally began to get rid of the shackles that originally entangled him.
It seems that the number of enemies we need to guard against has changed from one to two.
However, the Bingzhou Army will not be afraid of this.
Looking at the big and small fried dough sticks around him who were smiling so cheesily, Li Shushi felt that his heart seemed to be a little more heroic. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
