Chapter five hundred and ninety-fifth and tell the truth
Chapter 595: Telling the truth
It is said that it is better to be a dog in the prosperous times than to be a man in the troubled times. The people who are suffering the most when the Han Dynasty is in turmoil are not the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who was under house arrest in Chang'an, nor the princes who were beaten to life and death, but the ordinary people who are trying to survive in the troubled times.
"It's hard for the people to prosper, and it's hard for the people to die. Mr. Gongtai must have seen it more clearly than me. Now that the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, the people at the bottom are suffering the most.
I do not deny that I fought so many wars for my own selfish reasons, but my greater vision is to end this troubled world and restore a bright future to all living beings.
Let the tillers have their fields, the weavers have their clothes, and the people living at the bottom can survive.”
"The prosperity of the people is suffering, and the destruction of the people is suffering."
"The universe is bright and the sun is shining brightly."
“The tiller has his fields, and the weaver has his clothes.”
Yuan Shu's every word was like a knife touching Chen Gong's soul.
"I dare not say that I am more strategic than the emperors of Qin and Han, but I will definitely be more considerate of the hardships of the working people than they were. Therefore, I implemented the New Deal in Jizhou, built a school palace, issued orders for virtuous people, and stationed troops in the fields. All this is just the beginning for me.
There will be more measures to benefit the people in the future, so I need you, Chen Gong Chen Gongtai, I hope you can help me."
Now that the hole had been opened, Yuan Shu had no reason to hesitate and started to stab it in with his gun.
"Haha, Chen Gong is not very talented and has little knowledge. I'm afraid I won't be able to shoulder your heavy responsibility."
Chen Gong has also heard about Yuan Shu's new policies. He has also seen the current situation in Jizhou. The laws there are clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It can be regarded as a pure land in this troubled world. To be honest, sometimes he really wants to
Go to Jizhou and have a look, but...
"If I say you can do it, you can do it. I may understand your talents better than you do. Now that you have reached this level, I am not afraid to tell you why we lost the Battle of Yanzhou. Do you want to know?"
"Chen Gong is all ears."
Hearing Yuan Shu talk about this battle in Yanzhou, Chen Gong couldn't help but pricked up his ears. He also wanted to know where he lost at least in Yanzhou this time.
"Ying Shao is an insider, I think you should know this."
Chen Gong nodded. He had already guessed that Yuan Shu could send cavalry to pursue him immediately.
"You sent Lu Bu to Jizhou to attack Changshan County. Do you know the result?"
Yuan Shu raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Gong.
"I had already expected Lu Bu's defeat. I sent him north just to transfer Zhao Yun's Yingyang Army."
Chen Gong had no hope at all for Lu Bu telling the truth. As long as he could transfer Ying Yang's army, it was enough. Victory or defeat didn't matter.
"Then do you think I have seen through your plan?"
Yuan Shu no longer panicked now and began to analyze the war situation with Chen Gong.
"Judging from Yuan Zhoumu's great plan, he must have seen through my plan."
Chen Gong looked at Yuan Shu, thought for a moment and nodded to him.
"Well, now that I see your plan, do you know why I still send Ying Yang's army north?"
If we can open up the conversation, we can talk about this matter.
"Did my arrangement in the north take effect?
Ma Teng and Han Sui moved?
You sent the Yingyang Army northward to, firstly, surround and kill Lu Bu and ensure the safety of Changshan County. Secondly, if there is a problem with Bingzhou, the Yingyang Army can provide support as quickly as possible."
Chen Gong has now temporarily given up his original idea, and wants to have a good fight with Yuan Shu.
"Yes, it's just as you thought, but do you know what will happen after Han Sui and Ma Teng move?"
Yuan Shu opened his mouth and asked again.
"If Yuan Zhoumu is so confident, then it must be that Han Sui and Ma Teng have been defeated by you and Bingzhou has been defended."
Seeing Yuan Shu taking advantage of the situation, Chen Gong immediately thought of the result.
"Well, Han Sui and Ma Teng were in internal strife. Ma Teng retreated to Liangzhou, Han Sui surrendered, and Xun Gongda has now entered Liangzhou."
Yuan Shu now has a large spy shop, and now that he is telling Chen Gong, there is actually a link to highlight his muscles.
"Han Sui and Ma Teng are in conflict?
Fight into Liangzhou?"
Now the information given by Yuan Shu is a bit out of line. What the hell is this?
Are Han Sui and Ma Teng two idiots?
Don’t you know what it means that harmony will benefit both parties and division will cause two harms? If you start internal strife at the juncture of attacking Bingzhou, isn’t this looking for death?
But why are they fighting among themselves?
Chen Gong didn't understand.
"Are you confused?
Then I will give you some more confusing information. Since I already know that you are contacting reinforcements, why do I still spend so long with you in Lu County?"
Looking at Chen Gong's expression, Yuan Shu knew that he was confused now, but he didn't want to give him an answer.
"Does it take time?
At first I speculated that you wanted to kill us and didn't want to cause too many casualties, but now that Yuan Zhoumu is asking, it's obvious that the matter is not that simple, let me think about it."
Chen Gong lowered his head, his eyes flashing with thought.
"You are playing a game. You are using Lu County as bait. You want to lure the princes to send troops and consume their strength on Yanzhou."
After thinking for a while, Chen Gong suddenly raised his head. He finally understood Yuan Shu's intention. It turned out that he was far different from what he thought. In today's terms, he was on the first floor, but the enemy was on the 99th floor.
, my own situation is smaller.
"Yes, that's what I think, and I'm not afraid to tell you that I want Yongzhou, I want the Han Emperor, and I want to threaten the emperor to control the princes, so I don't want to encounter obstacles on the way to the west, so I choose to
Let’s have a good fight with them here.”
Yuan Shu's ambition was fully exposed at this moment, displayed directly in front of Chen Gong.
"Taking hold of the emperor to command the princes?
I understand, but now that you are so anxious to attack Lu County, it is obvious that you are not confident in yourself, so you have to gather all your strength to fight with them, but have you considered it?
If we are defeated by Sun Jian and come to a stalemate, the losses may not be limited to Yanzhou. Cao Mengde will definitely lead his troops to attack Xuzhou directly. By then, not only Xuzhou will be unprotected, but Qingzhou may also be implicated, unless you still have trump cards."
Chen Gong has now completely put himself into the role of Yuan Shu to think about it. With all the troops and horses now going to fight Sun Jianjie, to be honest, the winning rate is not high. The most likely possibility is that it will be a stalemate.
A stalemate means an increase in variables. Cao Cao's troops in Yangzhou are intact and may come back at any time to capture Xuzhou and then attack Qingzhou. If Qingzhou is captured, Jizhou will be in trouble. The country that Yuan Shu worked so hard to conquer may be lost.
It collapsed in an instant.
He could think of all these, and so could the people in Yuan Shu, but he still chose to confront Sun Jian in the south, which meant that Yuan Shu still had cards that were useless.
"Yes, 20,000 Polu troops, 25,000 Yingyang troops, and 30,000 militiamen, with a total of 75,000 troops stationed in Qinghe, are now gathering downwards. At the same time, Zhu Jun from Dongjun has also joined forces with me.
