Wei Jian's words made Lu Bu clear his mind and readily agreed to Chen Mu's request to attack Yanzhou.
This is actually because Wei Qian accurately grasped Lu Bu's psychology and gradually convinced him.
If Wei Jian came straight to the point and stated the pros and cons when he came up, Lu Bu would not believe it easily because he knew that everyone in the world was his enemy and was very cautious.
Therefore, the appropriate approach is to take a psychological offensive to anger Lu Bu first, making him lose his mind and give up thinking.
After Lu Bu became furious, he laughed three times to attract the attention of Zhang Yang and Lu Bu, and then spoke generously and threatened Lu Bu's life, making him panic.
At this time, Lu Bu was bound to be in a state of shock, anger, fear and uneasiness, because he was exposed to the awkward situation by Wei Jian, and was a little angry. He also longed for Wei Jian to show him a way out among the wolves.
At this time, Wei Ji took out a letter from Sun Rui, Lu Bu's good friend, to continue to increase his trust, and then stated the pros and cons, telling Lu Bu why the court wanted to pardon him, why the court wanted him to attack Yanzhou, and why Liu Bei would put aside the dispute between them.
Hatred, etc.
At this point, Lu Bu's initial psychological defense will slowly be let down. With Wei Xi's series of actions, his trust will become higher and higher, and finally he will be completely convinced, worship Luoyang, and be willing to surrender.
.
It can be said that from Lu Bu's vigilance when they first met, to suspicion, belief, and finally sincere submission, Wei Ju was breaking down Lu Bu's guard step by step and successfully convinced Lu Bu from the inside out.
If Chen Mu knew all this, I'm afraid he would also sincerely admire Zhong Yao and Wei Jian. What he admires about Zhong Yao is that he admires his ability to see people and can accurately find such a person. When he admires Wei Jian, he naturally admires his surroundings.
The psychological tactics of the buckle and the calm and unhurried attitude.
Because even if Chen Mu came in person, it would probably be like this, and he would not do better than Wei Qian. It is even possible that because he had ridiculed Lu Bu, Lu Bu simply didn't want to listen to him and would boil him to death.
It was very embarrassing then.
Therefore, Wei Ji can be said to have achieved the ultimate goal of a good lobbyist, and Zhong Yao has also managed to know people well and make full use of their talents. Both of them successfully completed the strategic tasks assigned by Chen Mu.
Otherwise, if Zhong Yao sent Jiang Gan there, Chen Zigui, who had the most wisdom in the world, would probably be furious to death on the spot.
In late November, heavy snow was still falling.
Hanoi County, Dangyin County.
In the name of hunting, Lu Bu quietly left Danyin City with his more than two thousand Bingzhou cavalry, and headed south with his iron hooves, sweeping up the wind and frost, and disappeared into the vast wind and snow.
At the same time, Zhang Yang from Shangdang County in Bingzhou led his own army of 10,000 troops, heading east from Shangdang, passing through Linlu County in Hanoi, Sili, and passed Chaoge County where Guan Yu was stationed.
Zhang Yang and Lü Bu were close friends, and Lü Bu defeated the Black Mountain Army and rescued him, which was a life-saving grace for him. It happened that Zhang Yang's Shangdang County was not a good place at this time, with dilapidated cities, desolate fields, and few people.
Not much.
Therefore, after hearing Wei Jian's persuasion, Zhang Yang, who was already very loyal, immediately responded to Lu Bu's call. He also abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, taking Luoyang as his master. The two of them marched south together to kill Liyang.
In fact, whether it is Dangyin County or Linli County, these two places are counties under Hanoi County. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Lu Bu to garrison near here, and it is impossible to kill here.
However, the world was in chaos, and the original boundaries of states, counties, and counties had long been blurred, and the forces of all parties had long been intertwined and confused.
What's more, in this world, we can only stick to it because of geographical advantages. How can we stick to the division of land?
Therefore, when Guan Yu retreated to Chaoge, he was using the two rivers Zhanshui and Qishui to set up defenses, rather than stationing troops at the border for confrontation.
Chaoge is located in the northeast of Hanoi County, across the Qishui River in the north, and about one-fifth of Hanoi County is occupied by Lu Bu.
Therefore, the armies of Zhang Yang and Lu Bu both passed through Qishui.
As a result, their route of action was inevitably discovered by Guan Yu's scouts.
When the scout reported to Guan Yu, he was only wearing sapphire blue brocade cotton trousers and his upper body was bare, playing with stone locks in the courtyard in the ice and snow, dripping with sweat.
Guan Ping, who is sixteen years old this year, is playing with the small green dragon sword on the other side, every move is precise, and he has a bit of his father's style.
Guan Yu has always been concerned about his son's education. Over the years, Guan Ping has been studying in Taishan Academy. He teaches martial arts on weekdays and is also taught by the academy. Although his culture is somewhat degraded, his martial arts is still improving day by day.
When Guan Ping was fourteen years old and was invincible in the academy, Guan Yu brought him to Luoyang and asked him to follow him. He often led him to fight with the Jizhou soldiers or the Black Mountain army to gain experience on the battlefield.
The snow has stopped recently, but the practice cannot stop. The father and son cleaned the courtyard, swept the snow and dead leaves buried in the snow into the dust, and practiced the exercises all day long.
The scout walked quickly to the corridor outside the arch. The guards on both sides did not block him and went in unimpeded. When he saw Guan Yu, he hesitated, but the military situation was urgent, so he walked over quickly, knelt down on one knee and said: "General, the military situation is urgent."
"oh?"
Guan Yu gasped, put down the stone lock, clapped his hands, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The scout said: "At Yuzhong, a large number of cavalry galloped past north of Qishui River. About two to three thousand people went all the way to the east. At midnight, a large number of soldiers and horses came from Linli. The number was
I don’t know yet, but I will arrive in Montenegro soon.”
Black Mountain is a branch of the Taihang Mountains. It is located in the area of Anyang City, Tangyin County, and Hebi City in later generations. It has a large number of valleys and vast mountains.
This is also the birthplace of Zhang Yan and other Black Mountain troops.
Later, as the war between Luoyang and Jizhou escalated, the Black Mountain Army was in the middle zone, so they chose to go north and develop deep in the Taihang Mountains. Now the Black Mountain area is basically the battleground between Luoyang scouts and Jizhou scouts, and scouts from both sides often appear.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The reason why the scouts know the number of people is based on the number of horse hoof prints and horse dung. This is a skill that experienced veteran scouts must know. And Zhang Yang is an infantryman. They
They didn't dare to get close, so the number of people couldn't be determined.
After hearing the scout's words, Guan Yu wiped the sweat from his body with a towel and replied thoughtfully: "Oh, I understand."
"General, do you want to explore again?"
the scout asked.
Guan Yu shook his head: "Ignore him, just retreat first."
"only!"
The scout then retreated.
Guan Ping on the side couldn't help but asked curiously: "Father, why don't we take care of these soldiers and horses? It seems that only Lu Bu has cavalry in this land of Yin."
Guan Yu threw the towel on the shelf next to him and smiled: "Yes, they are Lu Bu's cavalry."
"ah?"
Guan Ping was stunned and immediately became nervous. He tightened his grip on the Qinglong Sword and said fiercely: "Father, I will go find Uncle Guan Hai and Uncle Wu An now and ask them to gather troops."
"return."
Seeing Guan Ping, this stupid young man was about to run out, Guan Yu immediately shouted to stop: "There is no need to use troops and horses."
Guan Ping was stopped by his father and was surprised for a moment: "Father, Lu Bu's cavalry has arrived at Qishui. Across the river is our Chaoge. Shouldn't we raise a large army and prepare to meet the enemy?"
"Why should we face the enemy?"
"But he has already mobilized a large army to attack Chaoge!"
"Who said Lu Bu came to prepare to attack Chaoge?"
"Is not it?"
"of course not."
"Then why did he send so many cavalry?"
The conversation between father and son is simple yet full of guidance.
It's just that Guan Ping didn't understand. Lu Bu sent so many cavalry who were already close to Qishui. Across the river was Chaoge. If they didn't come to attack, could they be hunting?
However, Guan Yu did not explain. He just smiled calmly and said, "Your fourth uncle sent a letter to my father a few days ago."
"A letter from my fourth uncle?"
Guan Ping was confused. What did his fourth uncle's letter have to do with Lu Bu?
"Your fourth uncle said in the letter that Lu Bu might go to Luoyang via Chaoge and asked me not to pay attention to him."
"How did Fourth Uncle know that Lu Bu would pass by Chaoge?"
Guan Ping almost blurted out.
If I remember correctly, my fourth uncle has been in Qingzhou, and I heard that the expedition to Xuzhou will begin in the second half of this year.
Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from Luoyang. How does he know what is happening thousands of miles away?
"Your fourth uncle."
Guan Yu squinted his eyes, raised his head and thought of the young man who once smiled, with a trace of warmth in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "There is nothing in this world that he doesn't know."
"Is Fourth Uncle really that powerful?"
Guan Ping's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. How could there be someone in this world who could know everything in the world with just a few clicks?
Faced with his son's doubts, Guan Yu was not angry. He just stroked his eldest son's head gently, looked up at the sky in the distance, smiled slightly and said: "Ping'er, in two years, I will send you to your fourth uncle's house."
, you will naturally know how powerful he is. Remember, you must listen to your fourth uncle."
"Forehead."
Guan Ping lowered his head to show that he understood, but he still didn't understand. He asked, "Do you listen to everything?"
"Listen to everything!"
Guan Yu nodded firmly: "Even if he asks you to lead troops to attack my father, you still have to listen."
"Why?"
Guan Ping suddenly raised his head. If his fourth uncle asked him to beat his father, why should he listen?
However, Guan Yu's eyes were blurry, looking in the direction of Qingzhou, and said calmly: "Because apart from your father and mother, only your uncle, third uncle, and your fourth uncle in this world will not harm you."
Guan Yu was looking in the direction of Qingzhou, slightly in a trance. In his eyes, he seemed to see the scene when the peach blossoms were in full bloom and the four brothers were drinking and chatting happily.
That scene is always so nostalgic.
Seeing his father seemingly immersed in past memories, Guan Ping's eyes widened.
In his impression, his father was always so serious and unsmiling.
But at this moment, he showed a rare gentle smile, peaceful and kind.
This scene actually made him feel a little strange.
Is this still the father who treats him extremely harshly all day long?
At that moment, Guan Ping felt that his father, who used to be as sharp as a broadsword, actually seemed to have sheathed the sword, so peaceful and quiet.
Everything was full of confusion and confusion for the young Guan Ping.
But the only thing he knew was...
In this world.
Perhaps it was my uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle who could make my father so moved.
