Chapter 1760 Kill the chicken and respect the monkey
The princes in the north took the action of burning down the checkpoints. Of course, they couldn't have done it in a moment of blindness. They must have their own purposes behind it.
Among the princes in the north, Han Xin, as the representative of the Qin government, was the most ruthless one. Taking advantage of his distance from the three passes of Dugu, Xuanyuan, and Yique compared to the other princes in the north, he directly took advantage of the situation.
Three fires were lit without any discussion with the other princes in advance.
Of course, it was not Han Xin who was behind the arson, but Fan Ju who was behind it. Qin Zheng's territory is still far away in Youzhou, and it is still far away from Sizhou!
If this place is defeated by a coalition of princes, it is most likely that Yuan Shao or Cao Cao will benefit. Of course, the greater possibility is that Yuan Shao has the advantage in all aspects.
If Yuan Shao captures Sizhou, they will still have to face the danger of eight levels when they deal with Yuan Shao in the future. Instead of doing this, for their future convenience, they will simply destroy all these levels.
Of course, even after Yuan Shao takes Sizhou in the future, he can certainly rebuild these levels. However, rebuilding so many levels at once will be a waste of time and money.
If Yuan Shao is really so prodigal by then, then Qin Zheng will still be happy to see the results, and it can also play a role in slowing down Yuan Shao's development.
It can also be seen from this point that although the princes are united with each other, they will still cheat you when it is time.
As for Hulao Pass, Guan Yu followed Gongsun Yan's suggestion and wanted to attack Hulao Pass with the same idea. However, Di Qing was just watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal, and just wanted to incite Guan Yu and Yuan Shaozhi.
deepening conflicts.
Guan Yu was not the kind of person who was particularly sharp-tongued. Later on, Gongsun Yan simply stepped into the role himself. As a strategist, Gongsun Yan was definitely a million miles ahead of others in his talk.
At this time, in order to prevent them from getting rid of Li Xiang before the end of the war in central Shu, it would be better to burn down Hulao Pass, which would make it much easier to deal with Li Xiang in the future.
Didn't Chi You also have so many second-rate troops under his command? Just let his troops be used up!
This Li Zifeng is really cunning and cunning. Either he doesn't take action, or when he does, he puts them in a dilemma and hits their vital points.
At the beginning, Li Xiang made it clear that he dared to surrender without a fight and directly wanted to kill the nine tribes. No one doubted whether Li Xiang would be so cruel! Li Xiang was able to reach this step step by step, and he is the best in the world.
Among those who have some knowledge, how many people would think that Li Xiang is a soft-hearted person?
They will inevitably suffer losses if they attack the dozen or so counties in Yin, Henan. Recruiting volunteers in each county is equivalent to tens of thousands more migrant soldiers in each county.
But the opponent has the advantage of the city. No matter how low their combat effectiveness is, even if they exchange a few for you, their coalition will still suffer a loss!
His expression was not good-looking. On the one hand, it was true that these people had directly burned down the four levels without leaving any room for them. If possible, they would try not to let him take advantage of it. On the other hand, it was what they were encountering now.
The problem has arrived.
And Gongsun Yan was also a ruthless person. He couldn't reach an agreement for such a long time, so he just cooked the rice. While pretending to continue the discussion to stabilize Yuan Shao, on the other hand, he secretly locked up Hulao.
The fire was consumed.
After this incident, Yuan Shao and others were suddenly confused. With the first county magistrate as an example, the Jin army played a role of killing chickens and warning monkeys. From today on, the remaining county magistrates are
A few dared to make up their minds to surrender.
"Let Chi You take action!" Yuan Xi, one of Yuan Shao's other advisers, suddenly had an idea.
Although they looked down upon the combat effectiveness of those peasant soldiers, if they were placed in a field battle, one-tenth of the number could take care of these peasant soldiers.
The reasons given by Gongsun Yan are not complicated at all. The southern princes have no hope now. Next, the Central Plains princes have no possibility of entering Sizhou. They must continue to fight Yue Fei in Jingbei.
Their army was pressing down on the border, but there was indeed a county magistrate who couldn't help but wanted to surrender. But before he could formally take action, his head was already on the ground. Within a few days, the heads of those who were sent to Chang'an City for the furniture were
Also cut them all off directly at the vegetable market.
But if they attack Luoyang directly without attacking these cities, they will not even be able to guarantee the safety of the most basic food routes. There are various hidden dangers behind this.
In addition to having an external agency, the Floating Water House also has the important task of supervising hundreds of officials. As the base camp, Sizhou is the place where the Floating Water House has the strongest influence.
Especially Zhuge Liang's big comeback in Jingbei. Although this news was definitely bad news for all the princes, it happened to give Gongsun Yan a rare reason at this time!
Li Xiang had previously issued an order for the county magistrates of Yin counties in Henan to recruit volunteers to defend the city, and also directed them to only defend the city and not to leave the city to fight under any circumstances.
If you fight desperately, the most you will die is yourself, and your relatives will definitely receive preferential treatment from the lord afterwards. As long as you dare to surrender, let alone whether you can survive, those relatives who were sent to Luoyang will inevitably end up.
The end result of having one's head fall to the ground.
"Generals, how are we going to fight next? We can't just leave these counties alone!" Yuan Shao said with an ugly expression.
Since then, half of the original eight passes of Luoyang have become history.
In more than a dozen counties in Henan, each city has so many peasant soldiers, hundreds of thousands of peasant soldiers, for no reason. If they attack step by step, how many casualties will it cost?
Of course, Yuan Shao is not easy to fool, not to mention that he also has a lot of advisers under his command. Even the princes of the Central Plains may not be able to enter Sizhou now, but the princes of the north still have the advantage. This
There is really no need to set fire to the enemy at this time.
"Chi You?"
"This is a good idea! But I'm afraid the other party won't agree so easily!" Han Xin said after thinking for a while.
Although they are all second-rate people, the other party probably won't send them out to be cannon fodder for them. Even if they are still cannon fodder in the end, wouldn't it be better if they stay and serve as cannon fodder for themselves?
