Chapter 641: You scholars are really bad and pusy!
Wang Xuan's sentence focuses on a key point in the late Han Dynasty.
Regardless of whether you rebel or start an army, you have to meet your hometown. It is difficult for outsiders to integrate into the local area and gain support from the local people.
The foundation is unstable. Once the hometown is lost, it will not be far from falling apart.
The same is true for Dong Zhuo. Not to mention that he was in Luoyang and was opposed by the local wealthy families. He even struggled to raise food and grass and needed help from Xiliang to supply it. The problem of being far away from his hometown was enough for Dong Zhuo to withdraw his troops.
"So, from this point of view, Dong Zhuo will definitely lose!" At this point, Wang Xuan knocked on the table, "But that's all. As long as Dong Zhuo gives up Luoyang, the entire Dong Zhuo alliance will not pursue him.
.”
"Why didn't you pursue him? Are you still watching Dong Zhuo take His Majesty away?"
"How to pursue? Who will provide the food and fodder for the 300,000-strong army? Is it enough? Can the food and fodder be transported that far? What if there is no food? If the pursuit is too tight and the emperor is in trouble, who will bear the responsibility?"
Wang Xuan asked a lot of questions, but Liu Bei couldn't answer any of them.
Just the problem of food and fodder for an army of 3 to 200,000 people can make any prince bankrupt. Therefore, there is really no way to produce this food and fodder!
But if your own army is responsible for the food and grass, let alone Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, who has a long journey and no ability to transport it, but Liu Bei himself. He doesn't even have a territory. Now Zhang Miao still supplies part of the food and grass, and Mi Zhu supplies it.
Part of it, the alliance supplies part of that!
As for transportation, food shortages, etc., he didn't dare to think about it. Anyway, he had no confidence. There was no reason to ask any prince along the way to spend all their money to support the challenge of Dong. Whether he could win the battle was another matter.
What's more, there is also the issue of the emperor's safety. Liu Bei is not qualified to take responsibility for this responsibility even if he wants to, so...
Therefore, from the very beginning, no one in this Dong Zhuo Alliance ever thought of rescuing the emperor and killing Dong Zhuo, right?
After Wang Xuan mentioned this, Liu Bei finally figured out that these various princes, or the Yuan family who planned this rebellion, just wanted to take back Luoyang from the beginning, and gaining enough fame was enough. As for the emperor, he was
Yes, it was never in their plan.
And these participants either have the same thoughts, or they are just stupid people, such as Liu Bei.
Liu Bei has never been the kind of person who is unwilling to do anything he wants. He has climbed up from the bottom and understands well that you can't force things when things happen.
Now, it was time to think about it for himself, and he also knew what level he was, so he had to rely on Wang Xuan in front of him to help him plan. At this moment, he had the idea of drawing Wang Xuan to his side.
After all, Wang Xuan himself said that he had never thought that fighting for world hegemony would be too tiring, but Liu Bei felt that he was not afraid of being tired!
"Zai Zhi, what should I do?" Liu Bei did it as soon as he thought of it. Liu Bei was very straightforward.
"Don't be anxious, just wait for an opportunity to show off. Then it will depend on Yun Chang and Yide. You have to show your face in front of Dong Zhuo. The more powerful you are, the more Dong Zhuo will give you a high official.
!”
"Is Dong Zhuo mentally ill?" Zhang Fei's eyes widened with an unreasonable look on his face, "These are all his enemies. Shouldn't they be more powerful and suppressed more?"
"You're the one with a sick mind! After driving Dong Zhuo out of Guandong, it was time for the Guandong princes to compete for their own interests. In order to divide the various princes and make them fight inextricably, Dong Zhuo would naturally deliberately support some seemingly
People who have ability but lack of foundation, such as Xuande Gong, use this to cause trouble for the Yuan family. It would be best to be like the Warring States period, when everyone was in a mess and the winner could never be determined."
"Tsk, tsk." Zhang Fei leaned back and grinned, as if he wanted to stay away from Wang Xuan, "You scholars are really bad!"
Wang Xuan picked up something nearby and threw it over, hitting Zhang Fei with a bang. Zhang Fei obviously knew that he had said the wrong thing and did not dare to hide. He just laughed at Wang Xuan.
"Zhang Fei!" Wang Xuan stretched out his hand and said, "I will sell you later and ask you to count the money back to me!"
"Hehe, I can't, I can't." Zhang Fei came over with a playful smile, "I'm just a quick talker. In fact, I'm the most honest. Zai Zhi will definitely not bully an honest person, right!"
"Let's go! It's black!" The more you get familiar with it, the image of many people will change drastically. Wang Xuan found that Zhang Fei is a complete ruffian, and Guan Yu is an otaku. When he has nothing to do, he doesn't want to go out even if he stays at home all day.
He was reading books and practicing swordsmanship, but he didn't even want to say a word.
"You don't have to worry about this. I will let you know when the opportunity arises in the future. If you have time to communicate with other princes on weekdays, making a name for yourself is more important than anything else."
"Then it's all up to you." Fortunately, Liu Bei was mature and prudent enough. He cupped his fists and saluted Wang Xuan: "Then my brother will say goodbye."
"Okay, let's do this. Go talk to Cao Cao, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Zhang Miao, and Qiao Mao more. Well, especially Cao Cao. Let's go together later."
"I see."
Liu Bei cleared up his doubts and took his two brothers to leave, but Wang Xuan began to think about his own problems again.
The purpose of his participation in the princes' war against Dong was to see what the princes in the world were like. Now it seems that although there are many things hidden in history, the mud is still mud.
Based on Wang Xuan's experience, it only takes a little contact with people to see that they are inseparable. Take Gongsun Zan as an example. His personality is too strong and stubborn. In the old saying, he is an old pig with too straight waist and loves to show off.
You care about face, you can see it from the fact that you have to make all your subordinates look like white horses, what a slut!
This kind of person will be turbulent when he gains power, and will be unable to recover when he loses power.
Zhang Miao, etc., had great ambitions but little talent, but lacked moral integrity. Kong Rong was a good hand at delivering pears. He, Tao Qian, was alive in just a few days. Bao Xin, Wang Kuang, etc., were their younger brothers for life...
The three people who really left an impression on him were Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao.
I don’t know if it’s because of his concubine’s birth, but Yuan Shao has too much yin energy. His advantage is that he knows how to take advantage of the situation, and he dares to fight for it. His disadvantage is that he also likes to take advantage of the situation, and he borrows too much.
Yuan Shu, a direct descendant, was arrogant and engraved in his bones. He was almost a model of aristocratic family members in this era. He was aloof, never bowed, and did not bother to defend himself. He was a majestic man and did not care about petty gains. Since he was tricked today, he had no idea.
Once you get the alliance leader, you will never become the deputy alliance leader. You can't lose face at any time!
Cao Cao was enthusiastic and cheerful. He knew his status very accurately. He was versatile and versatile. Even though he took the lead in recommending Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu could not say anything. He still maintained his previous friendship among the princes.
, I can chat with anyone, and I seem to have a good relationship with them.
However, it is impossible for people to have likes and dislikes. Having a good relationship with everyone means having a bad relationship with everyone. Anyway, Wang Xuan believes that Lao Cao hides very deep and will not be able to find out the bottom of it for a while.
As for Sun Jian, you can tell from the fact that he killed the governor of Jingzhou and the governor of Nanyang on the way. He is too violent and likes to do things to the extreme. You can leave no room for it, but if you don't have enough means to support yourself, you will definitely not survive.
