The first thousand and forty-five chapters Xi Xianbei goes south
Zhang Zha finally dragged Gao Lan away. He knew Gao Lan's pain very well, but no matter how scared Zhang Zha was, he still had a strong desire for revenge, which was the basis for supporting his fight!
Not long after, Zhang Zha and Gao Gan had a handover, and this time Gao Gan seemed to have given up on himself. Not only did he not show any complaints, but he also had the mind to give Zhang Jia a few words of advice on how to garrison and defend Bingzhou, and There is also a real Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry left behind. There are not many, only three thousand people, but with the ability to open their jaws, they are enough to protect themselves.
"Wen Hui, why do you want to keep the Bingzhou elite cavalry under my command? You must know that this is one of the few elite cavalry we have now." Gao Gan asked his younger brother Gao Rou immediately after leaving Bingzhou. road.
"Because General Zhang and General Gao are the best generals in Jizhou now. Whether it is Jiang Yiqu or Chun Yuqiong, although they are very famous, they are really compared with their abilities. In the Four Courts of Hebei, Yan Wen is famous for his bravery, and Zhang Gao is famous for commanding troops. Ju Yi, who is above these four, is famous for his flexibility on the battlefield." Gao Rou briefly explained the reason to Gao Gan.
"What does it have to do with the fact that we want to give our elite cavalry to them?" The senior official was still confused. He had made some achievements in loyalty and governance, but he was far behind in strategy and politics.
"Cousin, do you think you can defend Youzhou with those three thousand elite cavalry?" Gao Rou changed the subject and asked another question.
"I'm afraid not. If it is as you estimate, this time it is Gongsun Du on the surface but Liu Bei secretly, then we absolutely cannot hold on." Gao Gan thought for a while and said, Gao Rou had already explained the situation to him. Passed.
"That's it. Since you can't defend it even if you take it with you, why should you send your few troops to die and leave them to General Zhang? On the one hand, you can befriend General Zhang and on the other hand, you can give an explanation to the people of Bingzhou. Xianbei went south. The invasion is a foregone conclusion. At this time, the border troops defending the north will be mobilized..." Gao Rou looked at Gao Gan and stopped talking.
At this moment, Gao Gan's face was extremely dark. Fortunately, he still regarded Yuan Tan as his brother. Even though he had the idea of leaving a way out for part of the territory of Bingzhou last time, he did not do anything extraordinary and even hesitated. There wasn't much. Unexpectedly, Yuan Tan turned around and gave him a big one.
"Cousin..." Gao Rou looked at Gao Gan, who had a dark face, and said slowly.
Gao Rou deliberately made all this clear at this time, in order to force Gao Gan to disobey and return to Bingzhou, and he had made all arrangements. As long as Gao Gan returns to Bingzhou now, Xianbei will invade. This is a very good reason.
Not long ago, Gao Rou had some contact with Cao Cao. Although he had not met Cao Cao, he actually developed a kind of admiration for Cao Cao. The other person had almost the same character as him, and they would do anything to achieve their goals. This kind of heart The feeling of mutual pity gave him strange thoughts.
Of course, some of the reasons for this are that Yuan Tan's actions were too explicit, and the loss of Yuan Shao's uprightness made Gao Rou no longer optimistic about Yuan Tan. In addition, he had never joined the Yuan family in the first place, and now it can't be considered a job-hopping. There is no pressure at all in doing this.
"No, when I went to Youzhou, Yuan Tan betrayed me, but my uncle did not betray me. He was sorry for me, but I should still help him protect his uncle's inheritance." After Gao Gan pondered for a long time, he answered an answer that surprised Gao Rou. , this extremely ordinary cousin would actually make such a choice.
"Maybe you will die in Youzhou." Gao Rou was silent for a long time.
"Isn't there a cousin like you?" Gao Gan looked at Gao Rou with a hint of hope in his eyes.
Gao Rou was silent, then spread her hands and smiled, "I am convinced by your cousin Tan, but you are right, Yuan Tan is Yuan Tan, Yuan Gong is Yuan Gong, we are returning the favor to Yuan Gong
!”
[The human heart is really unpredictable, but so be it.] Gao Rou shook her head and followed Gao Gan to Youzhou with a helpless expression. As for why Jingqi was handed over to Zhang Jia before, Gao Qian forgot to ask.
, and Gao Rou also forgot to answer.
Not long after Gao Gan left Bingzhou, Western Xianbei launched a war of aggression against Bingzhou. The timing was perfect. Except for Lu Bu who was stationed in Jiuyuan and led a great victory to restrain Xianbei's southward march, other places suffered heavy losses almost at the same time.
, Immediately after the death of Tanshihuai, the largest Xianbei invasion began in the winter of this year.
"Xianbei took action earlier than we expected, but fortunately it was only west Xianbei who took action. Xianbei, Wuwan and the Xiongnu in the east did not coordinate." Chen Xi said with a frown while looking at the intelligence.
"There is something fishy here. In theory, this should not happen. Did Cao Cao push for the Xianbei invasion?" Jia Xu expressed his analysis. Although there was no accurate information, Jia Xu found clues in it.
I have guessed a lot of things.
"I'm afraid so. After all, Cao Cao has insufficient troops now. Although he has many generals, he is definitely no match for the strength of the troops. Once Xianbei is given time to gather, Xianbei, who is both a soldier and a civilian, can pull out a huge army. This kind of army's combat effectiveness
Not enough, but if they fight separately, Cao Cao will only die if he divides his troops to deal with it, but if he doesn't divide his troops..." Liu Ye nodded and agreed, his conclusion was basically the same as Jia Xu's.
"If we don't divide the troops, even if Cao Cao annihilates some of them, most of the remaining ones will have plundered too many resources. Moreover, this fighting method is similar to that of bandits, which has poor combat effectiveness and very strong destructive power." Lu Su took it.
Liu Ye kept talking and wrapped himself in quilt.
Lu Su now has his own complete views on internal affairs construction, and he also has in-depth insights into destruction, and the bandits' burning, killing and looting are very destructive methods.
It is said that when the law was first drafted, he forced heavy sentences on bandits. Lu Su, who had been put into a 20-year labor reform period, was really cruel to those who undermined social security and social stability.
"Cao Cao does lack a bottom line when doing things." Li You said in a dark and cold voice.
Although Li You sometimes has no bottom line, he would not do such a thing. I am afraid that in order to deliberately lure Xianbei to go south, after revealing the news of Yuan Shao's army's withdrawal to Xianbei, Cao Cao did not notify Bingzhou to prepare for defense.
"Haven't we discussed what kind of person he is many times? But according to the information given by Master Jia, Cao Cao will most likely swallow up most of Western Xianbei this time to replenish the agricultural population." Fazheng suddenly popped up.
He stood up and said, "When it comes to Xi Xianbei, I can't get around the Qianghu who are cooperating with Xi Xianbei!"
