Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven: Chen Gong Designs Eagle Yang Army
Chapter 527 Chen Gong designs Ying Yangjun
Chen Gong shook his head, Liu Bei still didn't understand what he meant.
"You still want Gongtai to teach me?"
Although Liu Bei did not understand what Chen Gong meant, he was an open-minded person who asked for advice and hurriedly raised his fist to Chen Gong.
"My lord, the whole world is concerned about the war in Yanzhou now. The princes from all sides are waiting and watching. If we divide our troops to garrison or retreat steadily, they will definitely not send troops to protect themselves because they are afraid of offending Yuan Shu.
But if we can fight a few tough battles with Yuan Shu in Jibei Kingdom and pin him here, then the princes will feel that Yuan Shu is not good enough, and their concerns will be greatly weakened, and the chance of sending troops will be greatly enhanced.
"
Chen Gong takes a longer view than Liu Bei. Now the princes are attracted by Yuan Shu's strength and are afraid to send troops. It is normal, but if they see that Yuan Shu is not good enough, things will be easier to handle later.
"I see. Now that you have learned a lesson, go and write to Yunchang and Ying Shao and ask them to act as ordered."
After hearing Chen Gong's explanation, Liu Bei also nodded,
Whether we can let the princes send troops now is not about how strong we are, but about breaking the myth that Yuan Shu is invincible and invincible.
As long as Yuan Shu's undefeated golden body is proven to be fake, then even if Yuan Shu is a tiger, it will be difficult for him to face the surging wolves.
"In addition, you can send a message to Lu Bu and ask him to lead his cavalry out of Dongjun, go north to Jizhou, and kill directly at Changshan."
After doing this, Chen Gong was not done yet and directly used Lu Bu.
"Aren't we going to snipe Yuan Shu now?
Lu Bu's troops are elite and the time is right, so why do you want him to attack Jizhou?"
Liu Bei couldn't get around Chen Gong's plan.
"My lord, I don't know which of Yuan Shu's troops you are most afraid of when fighting Yuan Shu."
Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei, but did not answer his question directly.
"The most fearful thing is the Ying Yang Army commanded by Zhao Yun. This cavalry has experienced hundreds of battles and is more powerful than the Hu cavalry. It is simply terrifying."
Liu Bei had seen the terror of Ying Yangjun before, so when Chen Gong spoke, he immediately gave his own answer.
"I asked Lu Bu to go north to Jizhou just for the Yingyang Army under Yuan Shu. Changshan County is where Yuan Shu made his fortune.
Although the Prefectural Mufu is now located in Xindu, Yuan Shu's foundation is still in Changshan County. If Lu Bu goes north to Changshan, Yuan Shu will definitely return to rescue him after learning about it, and the only one he has that can quickly support him is the Yingyang Army.
The departure of Ying Yangjun is equivalent to cutting off one of Yuan Shu's arms, which will be of great benefit to our subsequent fight against Yuan Shu."
Chen Gong's analysis was spot on. Attacking him unprepared was a serious conspiracy, and Yuan Shu couldn't help but fail to defend.
"Then Yuan Shu can definitely order the Weilu army stationed in Bingzhou to rescue him. After all, Yanzhou is the top priority now. In this way, we will be using Lu Bu to catch a useless trash fish, and it will not be worth the loss."
Although Chen Gong's analysis was spot on, Yuan Shu had strong soldiers and horses, and the elite cavalry included the Weilu Army and the Yingyang Army. If the Yingyang Army had not left and he had lost Lu Bu, he would have lost money.
"My lord, the Weilu army is now the backbone of the guarding Bingzhou. Yuan Shu will not move easily, and the temptation of Bingzhou, which is free of miscellaneous people, is still great for Ma Teng and Han Sui. If the Weilu army leaves, they will definitely move.
It is also very profitable to trade one Lu Bu for Xiliang to send troops."
Chen Gong's analysis of the general trend of the world is quite accurate. Yuan Shu's original intention of leaving the Weilu army in Bingzhou was to intimidate the Hu people, and secondly to guard against Xiliang. If the Weilu army left, the consequences would be very serious.
"Well, Gongtai is indeed a top wise man. All the princes from all over the world are under your control. Liu Bei admires him."
Hearing Chen Gong's analysis, Liu Bei was completely relieved. He seemed to have done the right thing when he risked his life to invite Chen Gong.
"My lord is so complimentary."
Although Chen Gong said polite words, his praise was still very useful.
"So immediately arrange people to invite Lu Bu and lead his troops north to attack Jizhou."
"promise."
Just as Liu Bei was dispatching troops and generals, Yuan Shu also received a telegram from Bingzhou.
"Lord, Wen Chou's telegram."
Tian Feng entered Yuan Shu's tent with Wen Chou's battle report in hand.
"Bingzhou battle report?
Could it be that something happened in Xiliang?"
When he heard the telegram from Bingzhou, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown. Now was the critical moment for the expedition against Yanzhou. If anything happened to Bingzhou, it would be troublesome.
After receiving the telegram from Tian Feng, Yuan Shu began to look at it in detail, but after reading it, his frowning brows turned into the character "Chuan".
"Lord, what happened to Bingzhou?"
When Tian Feng saw Yuan Shu frowning, his heart tightened.
"See for yourself, Xiliang's soldiers and horses are gathering strength. Wen Chou and Gao Lan suspect that Ma Teng and Han Sui may want to attack Bingzhou while we are fighting in Yanzhou."
Yuan Shu handed the telegram backhand to Tian Feng.
"My lord, although Ma Teng and Han Sui have spied on Bingzhou, they are not brave enough. Now they are mobilizing troops and preparing to attack. I suspect that the matter is not that simple."
Tian Feng frowned after reading the telegram, thinking about the cause and effect.
"You mean there might be someone behind this, trying to contain us by combining horizontal and vertical forces?"
Yuan Shu was also experienced in battles. As soon as Tian Feng spoke, he thought of the possibility.
"Well, that's right, and this person is most likely Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the current master of Yanzhou."
Tian Feng nodded towards Yuan Shu.
"Haha, after three days of separation, you should be impressed. Liu Bei has really made great progress."
Hearing Tian Feng's confirmed answer, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sneer.
"Lord, we have to guard against this matter. If the princes from all directions are really persuaded by him, the battle of Yanzhou will probably cause many more disturbances."
Tian Feng looked at Liu Bei, not knowing what he was thinking in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter, the so-called horizontal and vertical combination also depends on the target. The princes Liu Bei can choose now are just those few.
Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng seems to occupy Jingzhou, but he is actually a sick tiger.
Although Chang'an Li Jue and others occupied Chang'an and sat on the throne of the Han Emperor, they were nothing more than chickens and foxes.
Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui has Xiliang elite, in my opinion they are just two hopping wild wolves.
As for Yuan Benchu, my descendant from Nanyang, although he is the fourth generation and the third prince, he has few plans and no courage, so there is nothing to worry about.
The only thing I am worried about is Cao Cao and Cao Mengde who are going to Yangzhou. This man is a real hero and must be guarded against."
Compared with Tian Feng's concerns, Yuan Shu was very open-minded. These people were no less knowledgeable and courageous than Cao Cao.
