577. Chapter 577 Eighteen soldiers approaching the city
Moreover, the children of the aristocratic family are also relatively reluctant to use force to solve problems. Although the Cao family does not hold the emperor in hand like before and has a righteous reputation, he is also a big shot who gives preferential treatment to the northern scholars. If he only uses force to join, what will happen?
Didn’t you offend the Cao family by seeking death?
?We will also face verbal and written criticism from the northern gentry! The Cao family has been rooted in the north for many years, building schools extensively, winning people's hearts, and giving many statuses to the gentry. They can be regarded as the leaders of the northern gentry. During the Jin Dynasty, the prosperity of the gentry was also due to
The Cao Wei Dynasty prospered with openness and support in the early days.
After all, this world was formed by the nobles for the upper class! If Zeng Yu used force to favor Lu Bu, a warrior, to offend the leader of the northern nobles, this deal is not cost-effective on the surface. At the very least, the weather is not suitable.
The Xiliang cavalry are dispatched! Look, Zeng Yu is shouting
Dou'er, the infantry commander, also called over, thinking of using infantry to replace the cavalry into Liangzhou. This decision may not be correct. The infantry was originally a second-line unit in Liangzhou, and it was only slightly inferior to the construction.
The legion is just better, can it withstand the wolf-like and tiger-like Cao's legion?
So Su Wen stood up with some hesitation and said: "My lord, although there is a covenant in front of me, Lu Bu is not a trustworthy person. He is a slave of the third surname! Even the two foster fathers he paid homage to were mercilessly killed by him.
Kill! Is it possible, can we control him with justice? On the other hand, it is not realistic to go to war in this kind of weather! Could it be that, Mr. Zhang Douer, do you have the confidence to go to war in this kind of weather? "
Not only Su Wen stood up to question, but Li Yang and Guo Ming, two sons of aristocratic families whose fathers had followed Dong Zhuo into Chang'an, also stood up. Their fathers had experienced how Dong Zhuo was attacked by aristocratic families in Chang'an. They didn't want to have.
Yu also suffered from this repeated failure.
As soon as Su Wen finished speaking, Li Ming said: "My lord, now you have Liangzhou and the three counties of Xianbei to herd horses! And the focus of the strategy is in the Western Regions! This is a good opportunity to recuperate, you
If you rashly intervene in the world's disputes,
Maybe you will be watched by the wolves in the world! I agree with Mr. Su's point. Maybe Lu Bu is the wolf king among the wolves! Moreover, the confrontation between you and the Cao family will arouse the resentment of the northern family! In recent years, the northern family has
Master the Central Plains
We have the right to speak and make decisions! If we are in opposition to the Cao family, we will be led by the public opinion of the northern family and arouse the resentment of the people in the Central Plains. In fact, it is best for us in Liangzhou to take advantage of the opportunity of the Central Plains war to develop! The Western Regions
After the thirty-six countries are the small countries in Central Asia and the Persian Empire in West Asia! It has a vast territory, few famous generals, and is far less powerful than our Liangzhou! If you, my lord, turn your attention there, you may be able to gain more unexpected developments.
!”
Guo Ming nodded and said: "My lord, these are all good words! The most important thing is that not only the cavalry cannot go out to fight this season! But the infantry is also struggling! There is heavy snow and thousands of miles of ice, how can it be a good opportunity to fight? Even if the Lord
I think the Cao family is also facing this problem! It's impossible for them to start a decisive battle with Lu Bu's forces when the road is blocked by heavy snow, right?"
After the death of Yuan Shao, the overlord of the Central Plains, anyone with a heart can realize that Cao Cao's rise is unstoppable! The Cao family, with its famous generals and sea of advisers, has a very unique vision. Take this fight between Yuan's three states as an example, he directly relied on
Xuzhou's geographical advantage allowed him to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the fight between tigers and tigers! Moreover, he was able to do so with ease and had his hands free to deal with Lu Bu who had severely tricked him. It was evident from this method that he would not be discouraged by a short-term failure.
The worries of the counselors are also inseparable from the rise of the Cao family. After all, Liangzhou is much weaker than the Xuzhou Cao family in terms of soft power and hard power! The Cao family has tens of millions of soldiers and countless fierce generals, and Liangzhou has thousands of soldiers.
It's less than a million... let alone powerful generals. Right now, Yan Xing, Yang Qiu, and Yin Feng are just top-notch generals...
Zeng Yu also understood the concerns of his advisers. Provoking the Cao family might hasten the demise of Liangzhou. However, the disputes in the Central Plains are changing rapidly. If he does not seize this opportunity to take a chance, he will wait until the Central Plains is established. Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao will be the top leaders in the future.
As a prince, how can Zeng Yu still have a bowl of food to eat? Besides, the Cao family is so ambitious that after occupying Bingzhou, how can they let Liangzhou go! This is also because the children of these noble families lack long-term vision!
Zeng Yu said in a deep voice: "I invite you here today not to discuss whether we should rescue Bingzhou! But to discuss how to rescue Bingzhou without letting the bad weather have a great impact on our soldiers in Liangzhou! Everyone
, the Cao family is a traitor to the Han! One step of forbearance may lead to a big step forward for the Cao family! Only by uniting with Bingzhou can we keep the Cao family out of the state!"
This is the talented lord who is dedicated to advancement! These scholars and mediocre people will only make mistakes! What else can they do?
Yan Xing, who was impressed by what Zeng Yu said and how he liked it, sneered, stepped out of the queue immediately, and said with cupped hands: "My lord's analysis of the general trend is really insightful! How can you, a scholar, know about Cao's ambition? Yan Xing is not talented, I hope
As a pioneer, step into Bingzhou to relieve the Lord's worries!"
When the three advisers saw that Zeng Yu had made up his mind, they knew that any further persuasion would be in vain, so they could only hold up their hands and say, "I am willing to obey my lord's orders."
There was a lot of noise in the hall, and Zhang Dou'er was a little dazed. He didn't understand these general affairs, and he didn't want to say the wrong thing, attract discussion from the Liangzhou family, and ruin the reputation.
.
Zhang Dou'er just stood there blankly. After the discussion in the hall to determine the winner, he walked out in a daze: "My lord, the infantry now has 10,000 spear-throwing soldiers (Qingzhou soldiers).
Qianzhan (trapped camp) has 10,000 heavy armored soldiers, Qianzhan (Qingzhou soldiers) has 50,000, Baizhan (Qingzhan) archers
State Soldiers) 20,000, Hundred Battle Sword and Shield Soldiers (Qingzhou Soldiers) 10,000, a total of 100,000 infantry. It is not impossible to march in this kind of weather! But I am afraid that the weather will cause a large non-combat attrition, especially after a long journey.
If we encounter any more close combat in Bingzhou, I'm afraid..."
Zhang Douer is not stupid. He knows that the children of the aristocratic families in the territory are not optimistic about the rescue of Bingzhou. He thinks that the children of the aristocratic families who are familiar with military art are the best strategy. As for Yan Xing, who has repeatedly defeated Hu Ce Mansion, he actually
He simply ignored him. So when he gave his opinions, he only based them on the opinions of the children of the aristocratic family. The hidden meaning was naturally that he did not want to go on an expedition.
This teaser directly explained the risks of going to war in winter and expressed his attitude. Su Wen seized the opportunity and hurriedly said: "Even the infantry commander said so, my lord, you still have to think twice!"
"
This stupid Zhang Dou'er has become so naughty? Zeng Yu felt a little unhappy in his heart. This guy had followed him from a humble beginning to a higher position, but his thoughts were out of touch with his own! Look!
Can’t the appearance be reused? The Bingzhou strategy is my own plan, and there must be no mistakes! Since Zhang Douer is not willing to take on the heavy responsibility of this position, then find another person!
Although he was unhappy in his heart, Zeng Yu still did not object directly as before. Instead, he pretended to be silent, and then sighed: "Alas! Since you are so unsure about marching to Bingzhou, let's talk about it another day!"
Su Wen was overjoyed. Being able to influence Zeng Yu's decision this time represented a significant improvement in the status of the children of their family in Liangzhou! Thinking of this, his face turned slightly joyful, and he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I am very lucky if you can accept good advice." The blessing of the army is also the blessing of Liangzhou!"
Li Yang and Guo Ming also made similar gestures and said respectfully: "My lord, if you accept the good advice, put your troops in storage, rest and recuperate, and recharge your batteries, that is the best strategy!"
Yan Xing was so angry at the scholar's display of power that he glared hard at Zhang Dou'er's face. However, Zhang Dou'er was a veteran of the Hu Ce Mansion, and he did not show any respect for Yan Xing, the nominal chief general. , and stared back twice.
Zeng Yu caught Zhang Douer's expression in his eyes and sneered twice in his heart, but his face became more and more cheerful. He nodded and agreed: "Since these adults all mean this, then put this plan on hold for the time being! However, Bingzhou's This matter is also related to our life and death in Liangzhou! I hope you will prepare enough materials for the winter march! If there are changes, Liangzhou can respond as soon as possible!"
Obviously, this was the step Zeng Yu found for himself to step down. Everyone was secretly happy and nodded in agreement.
At this stage of the meeting, there was basically nothing left to talk about. Zeng Yu did not make any polite remarks and directly ordered Yan Xing to stay while the others dismissed the meeting.
Before Zhang Dou'er left, he glanced at Yan Xing's face and showed off his qualifications as a veteran. He was extremely proud! Yan Xing was so angry that his head was boiling. If it weren't for the fact that this was the state pastoral hall, Yan Xing would fall out on the spot if he didn't say it was right.
After everyone left, Yan Xing immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, you are ruining things with your jealousy! According to the information coming back from Bingzhou, Chen Gong is unable to resist Cao's fierce attack! If we don't come to help, if Chen Gong gives up on Bingzhou, The entire Bingzhou will fall into the hands of the Cao family! It will be too late to regret it then!"
Zeng Yu looked at Yan Xing, who was furious, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan Ming, don't worry too much! We in Liangzhou are too assertive, so there are all kinds of voices! Since I have decided to rescue Bingzhou, of course I have no intention of going back on it!"
"Now that the road is frozen, Mr. Cao has never imagined that Liangzhou would dare to go against the grain like this!" Zeng Yu went down the steps, helped Yan Xing up, patted his shoulders, and said in a heavy tone: "Mr. Cao takes Bingzhou Taiyuan, Shangdang, The three counties of Xihe! They were able to force Chen Gong, a wily and scheming adviser, to Jinyang and could not get out. This shows that the Cao family has strong military strength! Our Liangzhou is connected to Yanmen. Fortunately, Yanmen has not fallen into the hands of the Cao family! As long as I believe that practicing the method of a strange army will have miraculous results! However, this important task must be carried out by Brother Yan Ming himself! May I ask, can Brother Yan Ming take on the responsibility?"
Sure enough, he was right! Yan Xing, who was a little depressed, suddenly became overjoyed and laughed and said, "Yan Xing is willing to share his worries with the Lord!"
