Chapter 219 Amen under Wu reprimanded the Marquis of Wu, Sun Quan, you are worse than a dog!
One is Han Xuan and the other is Jiaozhou.
It triggered Guan Lin's thinking for a while.
Let’s talk about Han Xuan first.
Even after just a short chat, Guan Lin already felt that this was a talent.
Compared with the fictional villain image in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Undoubtedly, the story in "Han Xuan's Tomb" is much more realistic - "Xuan and the three counties all surrendered, the troops were not killed, and the people were safe. It can be said that he knows the principles of rebellion and obedience, and has the virtue of safety."
A person who "knows the principles of adversity" and "has the virtue of safety" has raised this character's evaluation much higher.
Combined with the Jiaozhou issue he just mentioned.
The metaphor was proposed to allow Guan Lin to use the "Shibian Family" in Jiaozhou to check and balance the "Sun Family of Eastern Wu".
Specifically, by secretly supporting the "Shibian Family", they could not only check and balance Soochow, but also profit from it, killing two birds with one stone.
Guan Lin didn't know that Han Xuan had such insight because he "understood the principles of adversity and obedience"?
He has lived in Changsha for a long time and has a better understanding of the current situation here.
Or both.
Overall... Guan Lin felt that Han Xuan's proposal was very reliable and constructive.
What surprised Guan Lin the most was that Han Xuan did not hide anything about accepting "Jiaozhou benefits" and made it clear.
This is equivalent to taking the initiative to hand over his handle to Guan Lin...
It is no different that this method... allowed Han Xuan to gain Guan Lin's "trust" to the greatest extent.
Such a character - not simple.
Subconsciously, Guan Lin has decided to reuse the old governor of Changsha County - Comrade Han Xuan!
Let’s talk about Jiaozhou…
In fact, Guan Lin didn't know about the recent war situation in Jiaozhou... He couldn't reach out to Jiaozhou yet.
Han Xuan's words came at the right time, and they also reminded Guan Lin that he must pay more attention to Soochow and Jiaozhou.
Just imagine if Lu Xun was allowed to capture Jiaozhou.
That is equivalent to Jiaozhou becoming a part of Soochow.
Soochow, like Shu Han, also became two mines.
To be precise, considering that Jingzhou and Xiangfan have not yet been conquered, Shu Han only has one and a half mines.
After the Jiaozhou and Jiaozhi areas were occupied by Lu Xun, the most intuitive military consequence was that in addition to waterways, Soochow also had an absolute threat to Changsha County on land.
This will put Jingzhou in a huge passive position.
It’s enough to worry about backstabbing on the Soochow waterway, but adding on the land route...it’s hard to guard against it!
Based on this…
After learning about the situation in Jiaozhou, even if Shi Bian didn't take the initiative to come to Guan Lin, Guan Lin would try his best to contact them.
Suddenly, the situation in Jingnan became complicated.
Maybe in the future...for a long time.
Guan Lin...and even his father Guan Yu, as well as Jingzhou, especially the Changsha area's strategy, must use "handling" to control "Wu".
Secretly supporting Jiaozhou to check and balance Soochow, so as to ensure that the southern front battlefield always takes the initiative.
From this point of view, Han Xuan and Gong Zhi, as the people who can contact Jiaozhou, have become unusually important.
call--
Thinking of this, Guan Lin breathed lightly, and then asked: "Mr. Han is a cheerful person, and I, Guan Lin, am also a cheerful person. I must meet this Shibian family, but... I hope that Mr. Han will inform the Jiaozhou Shibian family." What do you want? What help can I, Guan Lin, provide them?"
"Ordnance!" Han Xuan said without hesitation: "Ordnance similar to the repeating crossbow, the sidecar, the wooden ox and the horse...the ordnance can resist the Lu family's army and repel the Soochow soldiers."
Speaking of this, Han Xuan paused and said with emotion: "The ancestors of this Shibian were from Wenyang in the Lu State. They moved to Jiaozhou to avoid the turmoil in the late Xinmang years. It took seven generations to reach Shi Xie's generation!"
"Now Shibian is nearly eighty years old. He has been appointed as the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou and the prefect of Jiaozhi for more than thirty years. Under the governance of seven generations of the Shi family, the Jiaozhou area has been cultivated and there has been no war for thirty years. It can be said that he is very wealthy... In addition to the seven counties of Jiaozhou, he also occupies more than half of the territory of Lingnan... He is very prestigious and famous in the local area... It can be said that as long as Jiaozhou's military equipment can keep up, they have a chance to compete with the Soochow soldiers. Capital!"
Guan Lin had heard about what Han Xuan introduced.
There is a record in "Three Kingdoms" that Shi Xie has a generous and thoughtful character, and is a humble corporal.
Hundreds of scholars from the Central Plains went to rely on them to seek refuge.
Among them, the more famous ones include Xue Cong, Cheng Bing, Liu Ba, Xu Jing, Yuan Hui and so on.
Yuan Hui also mentioned in his letter to Shangshu Ling Xun Yu: "The Lord of Jiaozhi Shifu is both knowledgeable and well-versed in government. He was in great chaos and managed to preserve the territory of a county. There has been no war in the territory for more than 20 years. The people did not lose their property, and the merchants and travelers all benefited from it.”
Just from the fact that there has been no war in the territory for more than 20 years, we can also infer how high the prestige of the Shibian movement is. How rich is Jiaozhou? How underground is the ordnance reserve?
Jiaozhou is like a paradise in this troubled world.
What's more, the influence of this scholar-turned-old comrade went abroad, and the country of Yue regarded him as an old god, and posthumously awarded him "King Lingwu for his kindness and praise"!
Of course, none of this matters.
The important thing is...Shi Bian has money but lacks weapons, Guan Lin has weapons and money, so both sides will benefit from cooperation!
"Why did Jiaozhou Shibian buy ordnance? He only chose me, Guan Lin? Who told him? I, Guan Lin, have ordnance?" Guan Lin spread his hands and asked tentatively.
"Haha." Han Xuan said with a smile: "Fourth Young Master, our minds are like mirrors. In today's Jingzhou, Huang Laoxie is the only one who can make those repeating crossbows, side carriages, wooden oxen and horses. Similarly, if there is a person in Jingzhou today, If you can contact Huang Laoxie, he must be Mr. Guan Lin..."
Speaking of this, Han Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a little more meaning in his eyes. "Han should not say some things clearly!"
——"This Han Xuan is very transparent!"
Guan Lin secretly thought...
But he said, "But... the Jiaozhou scholar family purchased a batch of ordnance from Huang Laoxie, but ended up breaking up in the Guanshan cave in Changsha County. It was not a happy incident!"
Guan Lin asked next.
Han Xuan gently stroked his beard, "How about pleasure? What about unpleasantness? The top priority is that what we and Fourth Young Master Guan want are gold, silver and food. What Na Shibian wants is ordnance and a way to resist the Lu family's army... What was once unpleasant is what it once was. If the four young masters didn’t mention it, how could the Shibian family mention it? Everyone’s heart is like a mirror, and they understand each other tacitly..."
call…
Guan Lin breathed out softly.
——"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, right?"
He looked at Han Xuan faintly, "Listening to Mr. Han's words is like drinking fine wine, intoxicating."
While talking, Guan Lin also offered Han Xuan a bottle of wine... chrysanthemum wine!
Han Xuan gently raised the wine bottle, not forgetting to invite Guan Lin first, but said: "Then when we meet..."
"I will set off back to Jiangling the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow Han Gong... can make arrangements..." Guan Lin said with a smile: "It's just that Han Gong should give a warning to Jiaozhou first. Although Huang Laoxie's ordnance is good, selling The price is quite high!”
Han Xuan did not reply, but smiled.
Guan Lin added another question with great interest, "Don't you ask, Mr. Han? Why is this seller so expensive?"
"Master Guan said it's expensive, so of course it makes sense." Han Xuan waved his hand, "Why do I need to ask more questions?"
"Haha..." Guan Lin laughed, "I like a sensible person like Mr. Han. However, since Mr. Han secured this business for me, we are going to deceive them together... ah no, we are going to do it together. If you don’t ask this question about Nashu’s family cooperation, I have to tell you.”
While speaking, Guan Lin looked around Han Xuan and Gong Zhi.
"The reason why ordnance is expensive is because I added the two of you's share!"
At this point, Guan Lin stood up, stretched his arms to shoulder level, and then joined them together, with his left hand in front and his right hand behind. This is a man's hand-over salute.
If it is a woman, the same hand-over-hand salute should be done with the right hand in front and the left hand behind. This is called men on the left and women on the right.
What Guan Lin did to Han Xuan was a deep bow, which is an action that can only be done when paying respects to elders or people worthy of respect.
After doing this, Guan Lin said: "If the arms deal in Jiaozhou can be concluded, we will have to rely on Mr. Han for business in Changsha in the future!"
How could Han Xuan dare to accept the great gift from a junior to an elder like Guan Lin? He stood up quickly, and Gong Zhi also stood up...
The two of them also returned a big gift to Guan Lin.
Han Xuandao: "Young Master Guan's words are embarrassing to me. I am helping the Fourth Young Master not out of any high righteousness. On the contrary, it is for my own wealth! To be honest with you, Fourth Young Master Guan, I ask myself that these eyes are very accurate in seeing people. I am also familiar with the changes in the current situation, and I pride myself on being able to tell who has a bright future."
"I have taken a fancy to the future of the Fourth Young Master Guan. The Fourth Young Master Guan has a good background, is smart and smart, and has sharp methods. He can serve as the governor of Jiangxia at a young age, while I, brothers Han Xuan and Gong Zhi, are just generals. ?How can one stand in the world if there is no reliance? I am extremely honored to be able to join the relationship with Fourth Young Master Guan, but it is just for the purpose of gaining reliance, profit, and standing in the world! I hope that Fourth Young Master Guan will not do anything. To despise it.”
Guan Lin replied solemnly. "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it! Han Gong Miao Zan..."
For a while, the two of them seemed to be exchanging business blows.
The atmosphere of the conversation here became more and more harmonious.
It was already night when Han Xuan left.
He and Gong Zhi boarded the carriage...
Han Xuanyou was calm and collected, but Gong Zhi was so nervous that he almost peed...
Comparing the two, Gong Zhi was filled with admiration for Han Xuan.
Closing the door of the carriage, he quickly opened his mouth: "Mr. Han...you are so amazing. So many people have seen that Fourth Young Master Guan has a bright future and want to work for Fourth Young Master Guan, but...if they can really serve Fourth Young Master Guan, they can really make Guan Fourth Young Master better." Mr. Han, you are the first one whom the Fourth Young Master trusts and favors so much!"
"Haha..." Han Xuan smiled, "Your time as an official is still too short. This is the officialdom. Whose team do you want to be in? The first thing you have to show is not how powerful you are? Because powerful people are often the most powerful. It is not easy to be controlled...On the contrary, those who take the initiative to expose their weaknesses to others and those who can do things are the easiest to gain trust. This is called the 'way of being an official', and it is also called retreating in order to advance!"
Han Xuan climbed up the officialdom step by step.
After decades of official career, Han Xuan finally understood all these "ways of being an official".
"Haha..." Han Xuan continued, "Let me remind you again."
"Listen to Mr. Han's advice!"
Gong Zhi wished his ears would perk up.
Han Xuan said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether it's troubled times or troubled times, it doesn't matter whether you are greedy or not, as long as you don't stand on the wrong team, there won't be any big trouble. As for...if you stand on the right team, you will make a lot of money.
Fame and fortune!"
As he spoke, Han Xuan's eyes narrowed tightly.
The words are meaningful and thought-provoking.
Gong Zhi only felt that he had learned something, and he really learned it.
…
…
Below the city of Hefei, the Soochow military stronghold.
"What…"
Lu Meng, who had already mounted his horse and planned to leave here and go back to continue investigating Lu Xun, suddenly got off his horse again.
Because he really couldn't walk.
This - there is no way to go!
He heard the soldiers discussing Wu Hou's troop formation.
What a city surrounded on all sides;
What simultaneous siege;
If you want to build a ladder all the way up, climb up first!
Is this... a siege? Is this a war?
Lu Meng felt... Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow, was just messing around.
This is not taking the lives of the soldiers seriously!
Speaking of which, siege warfare is inherently difficult.
According to the discussion in "Mozi", a city guarded by 4,000 people would require 100,000 people to capture it.
Of course this is theory...
Specifically, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: "If one-third of the soldiers are killed and the city is not taken out, the attack will be a disaster."
What this means is that no matter how strong the psychological quality of a soldier is, he will not die in vain like a pile of heads. Therefore, when attacking a city, it is necessary to make maximum use of siege equipment to give soldiers a sense of security.
To be more detailed, siege is about tactics.
For example, besieging the city must be guarded and besieging it on all sides. The former "besieging the city must be guarded" refers to surrounding the city on three sides, deliberately leaving a gap and setting up an ambush halfway.
This method of siege can shake the defenders' determination to fight to the death, induce the defenders to break away from the fortified city, and be annihilated in mobile warfare.
"Defend from all sides" means to attack on all sides on the surface, but actually attack one side. The other groups of troops and horses are all feints, making it difficult for the defenders to distinguish the true from the false. This means that the enemy's troops defending the city on one side are scattered, and at the same time we are gathering our troops.
The superior strength of the army.
Achieve the situation of using more people to attack smaller areas and destroying the city with more people.
Lu Meng didn’t understand it before, or did Sun Quan ask him to study more?
It's better now, why not not study?
If you don't read it... you still won't think that Sun Quan's siege deployment is such a child's play? How amateurish? How childish?
How can there be heavy troops deployed on all sides at the same time?
And it's surrounded on all sides... Doesn't this kill the enemy's hope and inspire their fighting spirit?
——"Wu Hou, Wu Hou, it's you who should read the military book carefully now, right?"
Thinking this in his heart, Lu Meng stamped his feet angrily.
"Nonsense——"
He shouted loudly and asked these lieutenants, "Didn't your generals go to persuade the lord? Surround the city on all sides? Attack at the same time. If we fight for ten more days, the city of Hefei will not be captured?"
"I persuaded you..." The lieutenants looked like there was nothing more sad than death, "but...but with my lord's temper, will he listen?"
understood!
Lu Meng understood immediately.
He frowned and couldn't help but think of the conversation with Guan Lin and the Governor of Lu Su when he was in Changsha.
Lu Meng clearly remembered Guan Lin's original words:
——"Logically speaking, the capture of Hefei is your own business in Soochow. I am in Jingzhou and my position is in Jingzhou... I shouldn't interfere too much, but I can't help but remind the governor that the last time we attacked Hefei, it was normal.
It was said that it was successful... but in the end the success failed because two variables appeared in it!"
——"Firstly, it is naturally Zhang Liao's divine martial arts; secondly, it is a battle that can be won even with a tied dog in command. However, the last time the commander was your lord, Wu Hou... Let Wu Hou command,
In my opinion, it’s better to tie up a dog!”
Lu Meng especially remembered that when Guan Lin mentioned these words, Lu Meng wanted to clench his fists...
He was furious and pointed at Guan Lin, ready to fight!
It was Lu Su who tried to persuade him, saying, "Young Master Guan has no ill intentions, and he never forgives anyone with his mouth. He really deserves his reputation!"
hehe…
At that time, Lu Meng hadn't seen Guan Lin's "well-deserved reputation", but now, he felt it personally.
Guan Lin's mouth is simply enlightened, and what he says is accurate!
——"Wu Hou, you are really worse than a dog!"
Lu Meng waved his hands angrily. He felt that he could not let the soldiers die in vain anymore...
Investigating the Lu family's affairs is important, but capturing Hefei is equally important.
Speaking of which, the Grand Governor Lu Su also brought some words, but these words were not painful or unpleasant.
What does this mean?
To persuade people? You still have to use Guan Lin’s tactics!
That…
Lu Meng felt that he had to do something. He had to learn from Guan Lin and be a little more irritable and rebellious.
The sound of "tapping" footsteps sounded outside the military tent.
Before entering Sun Quan's military tent, Lu Meng took a deep breath.
"call--"
He clenched his hands into fists and stepped in angrily.
At this moment, Sun Quan was particularly sad, especially recalling the past fifteen years ago between him and his eldest brother Sun Bofu.
Memories...those clans bewitched him.
——"Young Master, please find a way to get General Bo Fu out for us, so that we can have a chance to have a detailed chat with him. Maybe all the grudges will be resolved!"
Sun Quan has always been very close to the clan, so the Jiangdong clan will entrust him and rely on him.
Sun Quan was naturally happy to see the Jiangdong clan and his eldest brother bury the hatchet.
However, the subsequent development of the situation was completely beyond his expectation.
He told these clans...his brother's whereabouts, but what he got back was that his eldest brother was ambushed and shot in the face with an arrow.
He went to challenge these clans, but these clans congratulated him one after another... saying that they would help Sun Quan, and this great undertaking in Jiangdong would belong to him, Sun Quan, from now on!
"Lonely...lonely..."
Every time he thought of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but clench his fists.
I can't tell if the expression on the cheek is gloomy, or something else?
He seems to have been taken advantage of.
But he seems... to be the biggest beneficiary.
Integrity hurts...
Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps and looked up to see it was Lu Meng. It only took Sun Quan a moment to calm down his confused mood.
He raised his head gently, "Isn't Ziming gone yet? Oh... It just so happened that Ziming wasn't there. I just remembered... It wasn't just Hongyan who was in Jiaozhou. My sister-in-law and my nephew Sun Shao were also there. There was an orphan there.
With his eyes, Ziming can use this as a breakthrough to see what Lu Boyan and my niece are going to do?"
Sun Quan's words once again became gloomy, cold, and ruthless.
However, these words did not stop Lu Meng's steps, and he still moved forward with heavy steps.
Sun Quan suddenly panicked.
"Ziming? What do you want to do?"
But he saw Lu Meng striding up to Sun Quan, kneeling on one knee, and holding his hands heavily.
"The general came back not just for this, but because the general suddenly thought of something!"
"When we were in Changsha, the Fourth Young Master of Guan Dynasty mentioned something to the Commander-in-Chief and the Last General. I couldn't bear to express it in front of the Lord today!"
oh…
Sun Quan was shocked just now.
Immediately, Sun Quan raised his hand and said, "Look how angry Zi Ming is? This Fourth Young Master Guan has always been outspoken. After all, Guan Yunchang is always called 'no shame' by this young master... His words are no match for his words.
You don’t need to take it to heart."
Lu Meng gritted his teeth. "My lord, you might as well listen to the words of this Fourth Young Master Guan. Although he speaks 'unabashedly', it is... not unreasonable."
"Go ahead." Sun Quan sat down and motioned for Lu Meng to speak.
Lu Meng cleared his throat and said loudly: "Hefei City, even if you tie up a dog to take command, you can win the battle, but the one who took command last time was your Wu Hou... Let you Wu Hou take command,
In my opinion, it's better to tie up a dog!'"
Every word is striking, every word is sonorous!
And as he blurted out these words, Lu Meng felt refreshed all over his body, so happy.
For the first time, I felt that it was such a joy to express all the words that were stuck in my heart.
And following Lu Meng’s words…
Sun Quan's face turned green in an instant, dark green!
As a result, words like this began to float in his head:
——Sun Quan, you are worse than a dog!
——Sun Quan, you are worse than a dog!
——Sun Quan, you are worse than a dog!
It seems that these words were not said by Guan Lin or Lu Meng.
Just like the 100,000 soldiers who were "Tutu" in the past, every child who was silenced by Zhang Liao's name is the heroic spirit who died under the city of Hefei...
