After sending Yuan Yin away, Wang Yu put aside the trouble caused by Sun Jian, and he had to deal with another trouble.
He didn't need to worry about how the new members would integrate into the team. When he entered the camp, he saw Xu Huang and Yu Jin getting together, pointing to the military formation and discussing something. The atmosphere was quite harmonious. It seemed that this
The two seemed to hit it off immediately.
Huang Zhong doesn't need him to have a headache. Although he is a bit arrogant, on the whole, Huang Zhong is a humble and courteous person. His arrogance will not show up until he uses his true seal.
Wang Yu's headache is how to build a harmonious back garden.
Before going to Luoyang, he told Cai Yan with great righteousness that he was going to save the country and the people, and if possible, he should try to preserve the classics collected in the palace.
As a result, I came back in a circle and gained a lot, but it had little to do with what I said before. There were no books, but there were quite a few soldiers and armor. By the way, I also brought a beautiful woman home.
Wang Yu was not a Taoist scholar, but he and Cai Yan had always treated each other with respect and as guests. He had no idea how Leng Ding would introduce the sisters to each other, how the other party would react, and what the atmosphere would be like.
But this level had to be passed, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
After making some arrangements in the front camp, he took Diao Chan to the backyard.
"What kind of person is Sister Cai?" Diao Chan asked in a low voice.
She is much more nervous than Wang Yuke. She has studied how to be a concubine before. This is a compulsory course for singers. It is impossible not to study hard.
The research results show that if you want to live a peaceful life as a concubine, you cannot rely on yourself alone. The character of the concubine is the decisive factor! If you encounter someone who is unruly and fierce, no matter how hard you try, it will end miserably.
Fighting the eldest woman to defeat her and ascending to the throne? Diao Chan never thought about it. This is what her predecessors have taught her through experience. The only way for a concubine to ascend to the throne is to wait for the eldest lady to die on her own, otherwise she will die from exhaustion.
Wang Yu's first wife's status is not ordinary. The daughter of Cai Yong, a great scholar in the world, compared with the first wife of Miao Zhenggenhong, she really has no advantage at all.
Comparing love? When he entered the family, he almost got married on the fingertips, and the family was well connected! In Wang Yu's legend, the sound of the piano at the Battle of Mengjin is also a popular part.
Comparing appearance? It’s impossible for a woman that even a big family like the Wei family in Hedong flocks to look like a dominatrix, right?
Wang Yu looked at Diao Chan, who was walking slowly and with a sullen expression. She couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Yan'er calls me Brother Wang, and I call you sister. Speaking of which, she has to call you sister. You are so nervous."
What?"
Diao Chan said in embarrassment: "How old are you, and you still make fun of this? Don't mention this later, otherwise I will, um, just..."
"Don't worry, she'll be fine, there won't be any problem." Wang Yu said, half to comfort Diao Chan and half to himself.
Isn't it very popular in this era to have three wives and four concubines? Normally there would be no problem. Well, the Han Dynasty was much more harmonious than later generations.
Next, everything went as he thought. Cai Yan was not surprised at all by Diao Chan's arrival, and did not give him a look. She also seemed very affectionate to Diao Chan. It seemed that like a famous general, Cai Yan also paid attention to the feeling of being like an old friend at first sight.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Wang Yu straightened his clothes and armor, explained to Yu Jin, and then took Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and Jia Xu to the banquet.
Yuan Shu's attitude was very upright. As soon as Wang Yu arrived outside the gate of the prefect's mansion, he greeted him with the same affectionate attitude as when he was at Hulao Pass. The only difference was that his appearance was much bigger.
At that moment, Wang Yu almost didn't recognize him.
He was wearing a yellow cotton robe, with dazzling pearls wrapped around it. The belt around his waist shone with light, and was inlaid with a bunch of gold foil and silver pieces, reflecting each other, showing luxury and nobility, and the whole body was sparkling.
Full of nouveau riche temperament.
"Peng Ju, you are finally back. These days, as a brother, I am really worried to death. But when I heard that you were showing off your power in Luoyang, my face was also very bright, and I hope you can stay in Luoyang longer.
These days, this feeling is really... I can’t explain it, I have all kinds of feelings in my heart.”
Yuan Shu's welcome speech was very warm and sincere, but Wang Yu still couldn't help but want to complain: I'm going, I haven't seen you for a few days, Yuan Shu is already composing poems, I can't explain it clearly? Do you want another round of cutting and sorting out the chaos?
Oh?
"It's all thanks to Brother Lu to provide support outside. I'm not too embarrassed. I'll ask Brother Dadu to help me next." Wang Yu laughed, said modestly, and then immediately brought the topic to the Northern Expedition.
"Easy to say, easy to say." The smile on Yuan Shu's face became much stiffer. He understood the implication of Wang Yu's words. Wang Yu's high fighting spirit made him both happy and embarrassed. This time he was really feeling all kinds of things.
Heartbroken.
"Brother Lu, do you have no intention of continuing to serve the king?" Wang Yu asked. He had already had a vague hunch from Yuan Yin, and now it seems that the hunch is correct.
"Brother Pengju, please don't misunderstand me. I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, have been loyal and loyal for generations. In the face of national calamity, there is no reason to retreat in the face of battle." Yuan Shu explained with a wry smile: "However, you just came back, so you may not know yet.
The situation around Luoyang is no longer what it used to be, and now you and I are completely alone."
Wang Yu was slightly startled: "How do you say this?"
"Cao Mengde suffered a disastrous defeat at Cheng Gao, Xu Gongqing took advantage of the situation to attack Hulao Pass, and Kong Yuzhou died in the rebellion. You should know all this, but you may not know what will happen next..."
Yuan Shu's face turned bitter, and his eyes were full of fear. "The first person to get the news was Ben Chu. After Cao Mengde's disastrous defeat, he ran to Hanoi to seek refuge with him. He withdrew fifty miles that day, and then retreated again.
On the third day, we retreated directly to Chaoge. We may retreat to Jizhou at any time, and there is no longer any threat to Luoyang."
"Zhang Yang is currently stationed in Hanoi County. However, he has no intention of attacking. Instead, he has deployed dozens of beacon towers along the river. If there is any disturbance, he may flee north. There is no hope."
"After Suanzao received the news, he blew up the camp that day. Liu Gongshan was afraid of Xu Rong, but he had the courage to fight among himself. He took advantage of the chaos and killed Qiao Yuanwei, had a melee with Zhang Mengzhuo brothers, and returned to Dongjun. Zhang Mengzhuo
The brothers were frightened by Xu Gongqing's military power, so they also withdrew eastward to Jiyin. Before leaving, they sent in a message... Ha," Yuan Shu laughed sadly and said, "The alliance no longer exists now."
"Where is the Bingzhou Army?" When leaving Luoyang, Wang Yu felt that the situation was great. Even if he knew that Cao Cao had suffered a defeat, he was not too surprised. After all, the Bingzhou Army had fallen into his trap of two tigers competing for food and had already turned against the Xiliang Army.
As long as he moves quickly enough, there will be no chance for reconciliation between the two sides. Even if Lu Bu refuses to fight alongside him, it can still act as a containment.
"I almost forgot to tell you." Yuan Shu shook his head, "The troops in Hanoi fled to the north, and the internal strife among the jujubes was scattered. Xu Gongqing returned to Luoyang. After Lu Fengxian inquired, he immediately left Zhi County and moved to the west. He didn't know where he was.
If you want to go to Hedong, you should take the road back to Taiyuan."
Did you scare away Lu Bu? Wang Yu was a little confused.
"That's not all. After the news of your riot in Luoyang reached Hedong, Bai Bo seemed to be inspired, and he also attacked in all directions, causing Li Jue and others to get into trouble. As soon as the news about Cheng Gao spread, they also stopped...
"
One bad news after another came out of Yuan Shu's mouth. Wang Yu was palpitating when he heard it. Thousands of troops avoided Xu Rong! This kind of power is simply indescribable. This person is underestimated in the novel.
Really? He's obviously just a part-timer, so how come he's so awesome?
"So, now we are the only ones left with the fruitful results. However, Xu Rong has now received reinforcements from Luoyang, and his strength has more than doubled, and our side..."
Yuan Shu was really frightened. His courage and courage were not as good as those of Yuan Shao. If he hadn't been far away and had no other place to escape, he would have fled long ago.
Wang Yu suddenly understood why Yuan Shu was suddenly interested in Yuzhou. He wanted to find a way out to prevent Xu Rong from attacking and having no place to escape.
Afraid that Wang Yu would feel despised, Yuan Shi persuaded him earnestly: "With Peng Ju's military strategy, you should not be afraid of Xu Rong. However, your troops are too few, with a total of less than ten thousand soldiers and less than half of your elite troops.
How can we win if we are outnumbered and the enemy is so powerful? It is better not to rush into the army rashly."
"Brother Gu Dao said that this matter really needs to be considered in the long term." Wang Yu's original plan was to observe the effect of Yu Jin's army reorganization. If the effect was good enough, he would set out as soon as possible. If it was not to his liking, he would take some time to rectify it.
, but now it seems that things are not that simple. Without foreign aid, it may be difficult to win with the horses he has on hand.
"That's all you need to think about." Yuan Shu breathed a long sigh of relief, pointed to Jia Xu, and said with a smile: "On that day when Cao Mengde sent out troops, Wen He heard that it was Xu Gongqing who was fighting, so he asserted that Cao Mengde would be defeated. At that time, including...
Everyone doesn't believe it, but now it seems that Wen He is the most foresighted one. So, to deal with Xu Gongqing, it's best to use Wen He's strategy."
"Oh?" Wang Yu turned to look at Fatty. He was surprised. Fatty had never mentioned Xu Rong before, as if he didn't know much about it. He didn't know why he made such a judgment.
"Haha, it's just a casual guess. It's not worth boasting about." Jia Xu winked at Wang Yu and signaled to talk later.
Jia Xu refused to intervene, so Yuan Shu continued to talk to himself: "With Xu Rong's ability, it may be difficult to win when facing the enemy head-on. It is best to use tactics. Since he is not a direct descendant of the Xiliang army, sooner or later he will suffer something."
When there is suspicion, we don't have to rush to send troops, we just need to calm it down and wait until Dong's thieves get into trouble."
It is indeed Jia Fox's style to resort to tricks if you can't beat him. However, the look in his eyes clearly meant more than that. Wang Yu was a little confused. When he looked at Jia Xu again, he found that the other person had returned to his smiling and friendly look.
Obviously I won't say more here, I can only wait until the banquet is over before asking.
"Brother Lu, why are you so sure that it will be difficult to win against Xu Rong?" Wang Yu asked about another topic that interested him.
"You should know about Cao Mengde's battle. He and Xu Rong fought on the bank of Gushui. The surrounding terrain was flat. It was purely a head-on contest. The result... In addition, Wentai's encounter with Xu Rong in Liang County a few months ago was also a battle.
A head-on confrontation..."
Xu Rong and Sun Jian fought an encounter. The terrain around Liang County was mountainous, and Sun Jian advanced quickly. By the time the two armies discovered each other, they were already within fighting distance. Both sides had no choice but to retreat and had to attack as a whole.
As a result, Xu Rongjun's queue was organized in a very short period of time. When Xu Rong started to launch the attack, only the forwards of Sun Jian's queue were in place. Then, the front line was shattered in an instant, and the entire army
It fell into complete chaos.
Until the battle was over, Sun Jian didn't know who he fought against or what the enemy's strength was, so he was completely defeated.
"General Sun's ability has led to such a disastrous defeat. Xu Rongjun's command and prohibition is not very good. If you want to defeat him, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." If you want to defeat the enemy, you must understand the enemy.
, this kind of first-hand information is never too much. While listening to Yuan Shu's description, Wang Yu constructed an overview of his opponent in his mind.
Wang Yu talked to himself, Yuan Shu's heart palpitated for a while. He had said so much, but this Pengju brother hadn't given up the idea of joining the army yet? Such courage... Before he could finish the thought, an angry voice came from behind him.
Humph: "Humph! Wang Pengju of Mount Tai is so famous, but today I see him only like this! You are not ashamed of your arrogance, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by the heroes who died under you?"
When Yuan Shu turned around to look anxiously, he saw Sun Jian striding towards him with an angry look on his face. He shouted in his heart that something was wrong. (To be continued)
