19. The Central Plains War (the curtain is being drawn)
Yuan Shu seemed to have made an unusually decisive decision.
This was Li Shushi's first reaction after receiving the information, and then he couldn't help but mow the grass.
Is this still the Yuan Shu Yuan Gongli he is familiar with, a strange being who has lost his judgment and made repeated mistakes?
First, they stopped the attack on Jiangdong, and then they realized that the situation was not good. They ignored the dilemma that Wu Jing and Sun Ben were relieved and joined several prefects in the Jiangdong area to chase them around. They sent the people originally sent to Jiangdong.
Most of the troops were recalled.
It is estimated that if Liu Yao had not expected to join and recall all the troops, Liu Yao would probably have taken advantage of the situation and fought back. It is estimated that Yuan Shu would not have left a single soldier in the Jiangdong area.
Not to mention this, Yuan Shu quickly sent people to contact several leaders of Shanyue in Jiangdong, such as Danyang Zulang, Wujun Yan Hu and others, and asked these people to come forward to organize a Shanyue righteous army, perhaps with official titles or wealth.
Give Yuan Shu a helping hand.
Not all of these leaders are from Shanyue. Many of them are not so much Shanyue leaders as local powerful Han people. However, these people have frequent contacts with the people of Shanyue, show kindness to them, and are quite powerful themselves.
, over time, the local and surrounding Shanyue people were extremely convinced of him, and they were able to hire enough followers from the Shanyue people.
It has to be said that Li Shushi may have looked down upon Yuan Shu because of the history of another dimension in his mind, but as the direct son of the Yuan family who could frighten Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu also gathered many extremely outstanding talents around him, such as
Born in the State of Chen, the name can actually be changed to the Yuan family of Chen County. Yuan Huan and Yuan Yaoqing were the same ancestors as Yuan Shu more than a hundred years ago. Another example is Yuan Shu's mission to Jiangdong this time to persuade the Shanyue heroes to lead the troops to help Yuan Shu.
The debater Yang Hong.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Yuan Shu and those Shanyue marshals was somewhat discordant. After all, under Yuan Shu's instruction, the prefect Zhou Xin, who had a great reputation in the Danyang area, was killed by Wu Jing. At that time, the marshal Zu Langruo who helped Zhou Xin fight against Wu Jing
If his subordinates had not fought tooth and nail to protect each other, they might have been rounded up by Wu Jingyi, who was in full force at the time.
Therefore, when Liu Yao crossed the Yangtze River eastward and reached Jiangdong, he was able to quickly regain his strength. These Shanyue commanders who opposed Yuan Shu can be said to have made considerable contributions, and it also forced Yuan Shu, who originally looked down upon the fighting power of the people of Shanyue, to re-examine this power.
It happened that Yuan Shu felt that his troops were stretched thin against Cao Cao and Li Shushi, as well as Yuan Shao who was hiding behind them. This is why his long history leader Yang Hong made the move to cross the Yangtze River eastward.
And this Yang Hong did live up to Yuan Shu's expectations. After some wandering, he not only calmed the resentment of the people of Shanyue against Yuan Shu, but also used a beautiful picture to temporarily tie the people of Shanyue to Yuan Shu's army's chariot.
.
Not only did he gain more than 5,000 usable soldiers, but he also weakened Liu Yao's strength, which in disguise reduced the pressure on Wu Jing and Sun Bi.
It may sound unbelievable, but in fact it is not that difficult.
Because in addition to bringing the gold and jewels given to him by Yuan Shu so that he could launch a silver bullet offensive in Jiangdong, Yang Hong also asked Yuan Shu for a person after research. It was the appearance of this person that made Yang Hong's
The work of persuasion becomes more credible, coupled with spending a lot of money to pave the way, it is natural that there will be no disadvantages.
By the way, who has so much energy to allow Yang Hong to change Yuan Shu's image in the hearts of the people of Shanyue?
But it was Sima Zhang, the commander of Xu Dan, who was far away in Tancheng and controlled the situation in Tancheng.
As mentioned before, Xu Dan was a fellow villager brought by Tao Qian from Danyang. He became the new leader of the Danyang Army after the former general of Danyang Army in Xuzhou rebelled and was killed. This Zhangjiao was a fellow villager of Xu Dan, so naturally he was also the leader of the Danyang Army.
The most trusted confidant.
Compared with the grassland people in the north, the situation of the people of Shanyue is much more miserable, because if the people of the grassland are unhappy, they can run to the prairie. Basically no one can catch them like the wind, but in Shanyue
Although there are many wild animals in the mountains, some of the most basic means of production still have to be obtained through the Han people.
As a result, heavy taxes and corvee often come to them. Those local chief executives who obtain their official positions through money will always use various methods to obtain sufficient rewards from those who seem to be the most bullied. If they resist a little, they may be beaten.
Think of it as rebellion, and then your head and ears will become a stepping stone for those people to get promoted or get rich.
It is precisely because these lives are so unforgettable that these people of Shanyue are extremely wary of most Han people, but at the same time they have the simplest and warmest feelings for those who are close to them.
So Zhang Lie can appear.
Yang Hong promised these people countless beautiful visions, and Zhang Lie showed up and spoke out, turning Yang Hong's words from something that no one was willing to listen to to a super convincing temptation. Then he took out the gold, pearls and wealth.
There are really very few people who can't be tempted.
After the first family was convinced in this way, it became easier for the other forces under the linkage effect. Not to mention that Yuan Shu was originally from a wealthy family and was the leader of the noble family. It was easier to get the support of the family and the admiration of powerful people.
Under the dual promotion of this kind of interest and fame, this snowballing work finally became not too easy.
Speaking of which, this set of techniques really conveys the essence of the sales work, which makes people feel familiar.
Of course, although a large number of Shanyue tycoons and Han family tycoons have been persuaded, for some beings who have some conflicts with Yuan Shu and have some integrity, it is still a bit embarrassing to turn the gun so quickly, so privately
Yuan Shu, who was now anxious about the war in the north, didn't care so much about informing Liu Yao and placing bets.
Since Jiangdong was able to boldly give up on Yuan Shu, Lujiang County, another area that made Yuan Shu scratch his head, could naturally give up as well.
Although Shu City, the seat of Lujiang County under Lu Kang's rule, always looked shaky, even if Yuan Shu used all kinds of means to besiege it for more than half a year, he still could not capture this neither grand nor solid city. And if
Can't break Shucheng
, even though other areas of Lujiang have nominally surrendered to Yuan Shu, privately they still make Yuan Shu uneasy. Various "terrorist" actions occurred one after another, and officials appointed by Yuan Shu were constantly killed by the villagers but they could never be found.
murderer.
Therefore, although Yuan Shu will not invest too many troops in Lujiang for the time being, he is also very clear that the relationship between him and Lu Kang has become a fire and water. Once his troops withdraw, Lujiang will return to Lu Kang in the blink of an eye.
under the rule of.
When the time comes, there's no telling how Lu Kang will bite Yuan Shujun's body.
Yuan Shu had to guard against this, but it was not a simple passive defense. He also prepared some back-ups for Lu Kang.
Of course, the above is just the conclusion reached after discussions between Li Shushi, Cheng Yu and others. As long as it has not happened, we cannot be sure.
After all, because of someone's influence, many people in the Bingzhou Army are now inclined to believe that Yuan Shu is about to become a joke - although Li Shushi doesn't know whether this belief is just a lip service to cater to him or whether it is true.
So sure.
In addition, in the direction of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu also temporarily reduced his troops, leaving the affairs of Xuzhou to the pro-Yuan Shu faction headed by Xu Dan and Zuo Rong, and transferred Sun Ce's troops to Lu State, on the one hand, using Sun Ce's troops to contain
Liu Bei and Zang Ba of Langye, on the other hand, took advantage of Sun Ce's huge victory over Cao Cao's army to make Cao Cao hesitate in his judgment or even retreat.
Moreover, such a move may also slightly ease the resistance of Xuzhou aristocratic families to the Yuan Shu forces who have strongly intervened in the Xuzhou situation, especially Xuzhou conservative die-hards like Chen Si and Chen Deng.
As for Yuan Shu, who originally planned to take up this position, perhaps he already had a higher pursuit in mind at this time.
As for Li Shushi, he probably needs to face an encirclement and suppression by Qiao Rui, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, with a total number of more than 50,000 troops.
"Huo Tiao~ Yuan Jiujiu really thinks highly of us. Our Lord and the troops sent by Yuan Benchu only have over 50,000 people. As a result, there are only 20,000 people from Sun Ce and small characters like Chen Lanleibo on the opposite side. We are full of enemies here.
We only have more than ten thousand people in our house, but we have to face an enemy five times our size. It’s really a big investment.”
"Humph~ Zixiao, if you are afraid, you can leave with your troops and watch from a distance how I, Lu Fengxian, defeat those bastards. Even hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people are just a piece of cake in my eyes. Yuan Shu's troops...
…They are nothing more than chickens and dogs.”
When Lu Bu's words were heard by young people like Cao Xiu and Xia Houjie, as well as those who were not familiar with him, their faces were either full of enthusiasm or full of contempt. In short, there was absolutely no third expression.
But to Cao Ren, who was quite familiar with Lu Bu, this was completely normal.
Or if Lu Bu suddenly stopped saying that one day, then Cao Ren would have to wonder if the Xiaoqiang in front of him was being impersonated. Or maybe he was insane and was being controlled by someone.
"Although General Fengxian's 'bold words' sound a bit arrogant, when you think about it carefully, they are not without purpose."
One hand was stroking the three-inch short beard at the chin, and the other hand was walking around on the map, pausing from time to time and clicking on the map, and then starting to swim again, as if the map was used as an inkstone.
, and the cycle goes back and forth.
At first glance, it seems a bit chaotic, but upon closer inspection, it seems to have meaning, and there is order hidden in the chaos.
"Mr. Zhongde is a great talent in the world. Please explain to these children to solve their confusion."
After hearing this, Cheng Yu glanced at Li Shushi. He stopped being polite and tapped hard on Runan, Chen Guohe and Peiguo with his fingers. Then he drew three more lines. One of them was from the west of Runan through Ying.
The river points to Chenliu from the west, with one
It points directly from Chen Guo to Chen Liu, and another line is drawn from the north of Jiujiang County to the north of Pei State. Then a circle is drawn at the end of the line, connecting Liang State to the west of Pei State and Jiyin County and Shanyang County to the north.
, the Lu State in the northeast was surrounded.
Then, Cheng Yu looked up at Cao Xiu, Xia Houjie and other Cao family generals, and asked lightly:
"Here's what I want to say. I wonder if you understand it?"
This approach made several generals of Cao Cao's army look at each other. They didn't know what kind of medicine Cheng Yu was selling in the gourd, or maybe he was just trying to make things more mysterious for Lu Bu, making everyone feel unclear.
feeling?
Probably except for Xia Houjie, who looked a little dizzy and had a cute expression similar to Xiahou Dun's, and Cao Xiu, who pursed his lips and had a thoughtful expression on his face, the rest of the generals of the Cao family squad who were questioned almost all had this idea in mind.
Seemingly seeing the expression on Cao Xiu's face that "seems to understand, but just can't catch it", Cheng Yu showed a slight smile on his face, then turned around and asked Cao Ren in a slightly loud voice:
"My army in Bingzhou is mostly cavalry, and the Yanyu area is fertile and wild. It is a place where the characteristics of our army can be brought into play. But I don't know how far your army can go in a day, Zixiao?"
"If you carry seven days of dry food, you can travel more than six hundred miles. If you only carry three days of dry food, you can travel up to five hundred miles."
Seeing Cao Xiu's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Cao Ren also nodded with satisfaction and followed Cheng Yu's wishes.
"Divide your forces and defeat them! Yes. Divide your forces and defeat them! This is what my uncle once said when he taught me the art of war!"
But before Cao Xiu could react, Xia Houjie's voice rang out before him.
By the way, although this guy is a bit silly and cute, his voice is really not low, and his ears are still buzzing. By the way, in the history of another dimension, this guy was scared to death by Zhang Fei's voice. Isn't it like that?
Yuwen Chengdu who met Li Yuanba was destined to die if he met someone with a louder voice than himself.
Because his ears had been damaged by such people, Li Shushi's heart was filled with malice towards such loud voices.
As for Cao Xiu, who was preempted and caused everyone to suffer from noise pollution, he did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he once again showed a thoughtful look on his face. I don't know what is going on in his little head.
As for the other generals of the Cao family who had just been fooled by Cheng Yu's unsuspecting and serious actions, they once again looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and the expressions on their faces were very embarrassed for a moment.
It was impossible for them to object to Cheng Yu's proposal, because this was obviously the best way to defeat the enemy.
The enemy troops came from many directions, and our army defeated them all.
To achieve such a combat goal obviously requires an extremely important condition, which is to grasp the time difference. And if you want to grasp that fleeting time difference, you must have extremely strict requirements on the speed of the active attacker——
Whether it is the marching speed or the ability to deal with an enemy force in a short period of time and quickly evacuate to prevent being surrounded, this all tests an army's combat qualities in all aspects, and the troops that can achieve this are obviously very good ones.
The Bingzhou Army dared to propose such a plan. It was obvious that they were quite confident in their own strength. So if they opposed this plan, would it mean that their own troops could not meet the requirements, and could it be considered that Cao Cao's army was inferior to the Bingzhou Army?
Although the leader of this force sent to cooperate with the Bingzhou Army was Cao Ren, most of the subordinate troops were not the veterans of the Bingzhou Army brought out by Cao Ren and the Xiahou brothers from Bingzhou, but troops later recruited in Yanzhou and Danyang.
Therefore, although I knew something about the vicious reputation of the Bingzhou Army, I still maintained considerable doubts without much real experience.
And this is why many generals of the Cao family showed disdain after Lu Bu made his arrogance just now.
Now if you admit that you are inferior to the other party, it will really be more difficult for them to accept than killing them.
"Although the words used by Young General Xiahou are not accurate enough, everyone must already understand the meaning. So let me tell you the other purpose of this move."
Cheng Yu temporarily left the stage, and Guo Jia came forward with a smirk on his face.
I have to say that although Guo Jia had no sense of presence when he was hiding behind the scenes, as soon as he stepped onto the front desk, the faint smile on his face made people want to use sand no matter how they looked at it.
A big fist hit his face.
Well, it's not just the Cao family on the opposite side. Even Li Shushi, who is an ally, feels a little eager to give it a try.
This is definitely not because of the adorable pair of sisters who smiled sweetly when they were with him.
"Everyone should know that Yuan Shu was immoral and dissolute. He never cared about the people, so the land under his rule was full of complaints. However, he did not think about self-cultivation and governance, but did not care about the life and death of the people. However, in the Chen State in the south, the previous one
Soon something appalling happened - Yuan Shu sent people to ask for food and grass from King Chen Liu Chong, because the amount was too much.
King Chen Liu Chong and Chen Prime Minister Luo Jun Luo Xiaoyuan declined politely. As a result, Yuan Shu became angry and sent people to assassinate Chen Prime Minister Luo Xiaoyuan first, and then sent the shameless villain Sun Ce to attack Xia Yang City where King Chen was, killing the direct bloodline of Emperor Ming. After that.
They also engaged in massive looting and looting, which led to the desolation of farmland and the displacement of people, causing countless crimes.
Poor Chen Prime Minister Luo Xiaoyuan's son was just born, and King Chen served the country wholeheartedly, whether during the Yellow Turban Rebellion or the war against Dong, and could be called the pillar of the country, but now he has suffered such a misfortune. The people of Chen State are even more worried.
They just want to protect their family and country, but they are still being ravaged like this. How can a rebellious person like Yuan Shu win the hearts of everyone in the world!"
Chen Wang Liu Chong, that is really a name that has a long memory in my mind.
Speaking of which, this vassal king is actually quite extraordinary. Not only is he good at archery, but under his leadership, the entire Chen Kingdom has a culture of being good at archery. Therefore, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Chen King could easily gather 100,000 people.
Guard Chen State so that the troops of Li Shushi, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang can only go around Chen State and not dare to invade.
However, it was probably because this kind of appeal was so terrifying that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty suppressed the princes and kings. And the princes and princes seemed to know the emperor's thoughts.
The soldiers recruited at that time were all dismissed and went home, and they also lived a carefree life and no longer had any contact with the art of archery, just to make the emperor feel at ease.
When the Allied Forces came to challenge Dong, although he stood up again, it was clear that he could no longer compare with him during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Years of easy life had worn away his spirit.
At the same time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were obviously unable to accept a man with huge appeal and the ability to gather a large number of capable soldiers as an ordinary member of the coalition, even if it seemed that the prince was no longer as brave as he used to be. As a result, Liu Chong
Another comeback had to end in frustration.
After that, Liu Chong seemed to have completely extinguished his desire for supremacy, and just cooperated with Chen Prime Minister Luo Jun in managing the internal affairs of his own one-third acre of land, so that although Chen State suffered some natural disasters, the people were still prosperous.
Fengfeng.
If he were governing the world, Liu Chong's behavior might have earned him a reputation as virtuous as Liu Yu. Even if he could not have a prosperous official career like Liu Yu, he should at least be able to live a very prosperous life in the second half of his life. But in
In such troubled times, the prosperous Chen State under the rule of Liu Chong and Luo Jun was like a child holding a lot of gold standing in the bustling city. More importantly, he was surrounded by people he thought were evil neighbors.
As a result, just as Guo Jia said, Liu Chong, who once made Li Shushi afraid to attack him directly, died in a bloody massacre after a conspiracy.
But it was precisely because of his and Luo Jun's deaths that the coalition forces had a very good opportunity.
A chance to get off to a good start.
Pan Sen: I finished reading "Legendary Referee" by Juxi City in one sitting today (what, you said there are some suffixes after the name of the author of this book? Well, they are just different vests of the same person anyway), and I feel pretty good.
Speaking of which, it’s true that Qidian didn’t write novels about football referees a few years ago, but what about that book? Secondly, it makes people think that the author is very cute. However, it can be seen that the author still put a lot of effort into this book.
Kung Fu, although it was a bit difficult to dance at the beginning, but everything is there. First two coaches, then an agent, and now a coach... Except for officials, there are all football-related professions on Dianniang.
Complete it...
Pan Sen 2: The rhythm seems to have sped up a lot after Fenghua drunkenly entered v. I don’t know if this urgency is intentional by the author or for other reasons. Anyway, I always feel that it is slightly inconsistent with the previous rhythm... (To be continued)
