Looking at the majestic Wang Yu, Zhang Liao felt very complicated.
He originally came just for a formality, to see the direction of the situation in the Central Plains from the alliance, and to make a judgment on the future planning of the Bingzhou Army. He did not expect that he would be hit on the head by a big pie, and then be pushed to the forefront.
.
All of this was facilitated by the young man in front of me.
As Lu Bu's most trusted right-hand man, Zhang Liao certainly knew about the grudges between his prince and the young hero in front of him. They have been entangled since the latter's debut and became famous. The reason why the Bingzhou Army returned to Luoyang and became a homeless army was because
It was also given by Wang Yu.
However, unlike Hou Cheng and others, he was filled with resentment towards Wang Yu and kept talking about it all day long, wishing he could sleep on his skin and eat his flesh.
Soldiers are deceitful. There is no room for mercy on the battlefield. It is normal to use everything. The prince will fall into the trap many times. It can only be said that his character has been too well understood, so he was played.
On top of the palm.
I can only blame myself for not thinking carefully enough, not being able to persuade the princes, and not fulfilling the obligations of ministers.
Regarding Wang Yu, Zhang Liao's attitude was one-third admiration and seven-point vigilance. Even though Wang Yu's proposal seemed to have no harm to the Bingzhou Army, it still made him feel very uneasy. However, after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything like this.
What mystery is contained in this move?
He frowned and said nothing. Wang Yu took the initiative to speak and asked with great concern: "Brother Wenyuan, is it possible that your army has some difficulties that prevent it from making the trip?"
"There are indeed some small difficulties. Although the journey from Hedong to Luoyang is not far, the supplies along the way..." Zhang Liao believed that instead of thinking hard, it is better to use words to test. Although the other party is full of cunning, he is not like his own king.
Like Hou, he only advocates using strength to overcome cleverness and disdains any tricks, but he ends up being fooled many times.
"Thanks to the high righteousness of the emperor, you recommended my general to garrison in Luoyang, which also gave the brothers a place to stay. I am very grateful to Liao. However, there are many soldiers and horses in Bingzhou. After Luoyang has been separated many times, it is no longer prosperous as before. Money and food may not be enough. Liao is grateful.
At the same time, my heart is not without worries."
The Bingzhou Army really needs a foothold. Although Hedong is good, the most fertile territory has been occupied by the Baibo Army. If a war begins, the Bingzhou Army will rely on the elite soldiers, while Baibo will fight with more people, and
, they are local cowards and work together. The most important thing is that these people are not impulsive at all.
When the Bingzhou Army first arrived in Hedong, they assumed an exhausted posture. They originally wanted to attract the Baibo Army to attack in a large scale, defeat the opponent's main force in a field battle, and then sweep across Hedong.
Unexpectedly, the Baibo Army did not accept the attack at all. They immediately shrank their defense line and even gave up the governorship of Anyi. They just put up a strong defensive posture and tried their best to drain the enemy.
What the Bingzhou Army fears most is attrition, otherwise Lu Bu would not have been able to bear with Dong Zhuo all the time, and would not have contributed to the war when there was no benefit.
When looking for a site, Luoyang is not the best choice. It is surrounded by enemies on all sides, but it is still better than hanging in the east of Hedong. The question is whether Wang Yu is behind it.
Zhang Liao decided to open his mouth like a lion and test Wang Yu's reaction, whether he would become angry, angry, as diligent as before, or have some other reaction.
"This matter is simple." Wang Yu waved his hand generously and said: "Yu is quite popular in Hedong. We will discuss it with Colonel Yang later and ask him to be accommodating. He will lend Marquis Wen tens of thousands of dendrobium grains to make him stronger.
That’s the form. As for Luoyang, brother Wenyuan, as soon as the Xiliang army retreats, the people will return to the city, so why worry?"
Zhang Liao listened attentively and carefully observed Wang Yu's expression, but could not see the slightest hint of hypocrisy. But it is impossible to say that Wang Yu suddenly became a sincere gentleman. The Bingzhou Army suffered a lot from this man.
Not enough?
"Wang Junhou, there is something unclear about Liao..." The temptation did not work, Zhang Liao decided to go straight to the point and talk in circles, which was indeed not his strong suit.
Wang Yu smiled calmly and said: "But it doesn't matter."
"You should be very clear about Marquis Wen's temper. He has identified you as his opponent. Even if you give up Luoyang and provide food and grass, he will not accept your favor. At most, he will return the favor before confronting you.
That's all for you. You should know Marquis Wen's abilities, and you seem to have been wary of me and the state army for a long time... Aren't you afraid of raising tigers?"
The reason why Wang Yu brought the Bingzhou Army to the forefront was mainly because he wanted to sell a favor and make up for the previous rift. To put it bluntly, he had not given up on the Bingzhou Army and always remembered to conquer the Bingzhou Army.
But now, he encountered a little trouble. Zhang Liao was not Lu Bu who didn't explain. He was both wise and brave, and he was not easy to fool. His questions were very sharp and difficult to answer.
If Wang Yu's answer is vague, it will only make Zhang Liao more vigilant, and maybe even a little more contemptuous. Answering directly will test your academic ability. How to express your intention vaguely without causing arousal?
The other party's disgust is a technical job.
If possible, Wang Yu would like Jia Xu to come forward, but since then, sincerity is a bit lacking.
"To be honest, Yu has always admired Wen Hou, Wen Yuan, and Xunyi's brothers. However, fate has played a trick on people, and Yu and you are on a hostile stand. Yu is also feeling inexplicable in his heart, so he has been
He had the intention to urge Marquis Wen to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side and fight side by side with someone."
Wang Yu sighed and said: "It is difficult for man to defeat the sky. Although Yu tried many ways, he still missed a move due to a combination of circumstances and completely turned against Marquis Wen in Luoyang. However, since you all have the same intentions as Yu,
Loyalty will always meet again in the future. Although Marquis Wen's temper is stubborn, it cannot withstand the passage of time. If we meet again in a few years, Marquis Wen's anger may have calmed down."
"Even if not, there are so many heroes in the world, and Yu can't be said to be raising a tiger to make trouble. Brother Wenyuan, what do you think?"
Zhang Liao nodded silently, he understood what Wang Yu meant.
This young man was enjoying his glory, but he was not arrogant and did not boast about unifying the Central Plains in a few years. However, he had a self-confidence that he had the world under his control, which made Zhang Liaoping even more fond of him.
"Okay, Liao will remember the kindness of Jun and Marquis to help him in times of need. If we meet again in the future, even if Marquis Wen doesn't like it, Liao will remind him with today's feelings. But in front of the two armies, Liao is...
I won't show mercy."
"That's natural."
The most taboo thing about giving favors is to ask for a favor in return. Before the gift is given, the future benefits are already being calculated. Wang Yu originally didn't expect to get any substantial commitment. What he wanted was Zhang Liao's favor.
It's just a foreshadowing for seeing you again in the future.
Zhang Liao may have thought that Luoyang and Qingzhou were far apart, and the situation in the Central Plains was changing rapidly, but according to the information Wang Yu currently had, the general trend of history had not changed much because of his appearance.
Yuan Shao has basically won the support of the scholars in Jizhou, and is just short of the last step to take control of Jizhou;
Cao Cao took advantage of the momentum of the Black Mountain Army's invasion of Dongjun, and his journey to take control of Yanzhou was about to begin;
The honeymoon period between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao is completely over. Once things happen in Luoyang, he will transfer Sun Jian's army back and start the strategy of Nanjun...
The selection and belonging of the heroes are inevitable. Unless you directly participate in it, it will be difficult to make big changes.
The trajectory of Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Army has changed, but Wang Yu has a feeling that sooner or later they will take the same path and come to him again.
Of course, he can't be sure that things will definitely happen, but just like a battlefield battle, this uncertainty is the most attractive thing in itself, and it is much more interesting than having everything under control.
What I have to do is not to control other people's schemes, but to focus on my own established strategy, lay the most solid foundation on the land between the mountains and the sea, and become the cornerstone of the world.
…
Like other envoys from the princes, Zhang Liao also left in a hurry after confirming his intention.
Wang Yu was not surprised that the others left in a hurry. Without the emperor, Luoyang would not be very attractive to the princes. For them, the most important thing was to complete the ongoing plan as soon as possible in order to deal with their own problems.
possible military pressure.
But the hasty departure of Xuzhou envoy Chen Gui gave him a bad premonition. Based on his relationship with Tao Qian, shouldn't the people of Xuzhou be very friendly? But now it seems that Tao Qian's attitude is not
It was recognized by everyone in Xuzhou.
"Xiaotian...junhou!" Yang Feng stayed until the end, and his attitude was as respectful as ever.
"Congratulations, sir, for becoming famous all over the world and gaining the trust of the emperor. Sooner or later, you will become the pillar of the Han Dynasty! After learning your identity, the brothers were very happy. Little Lizi and Muzhu drank.
I drank a lot of wine and was drunk all day and night. After I got up, I started to make noises about coming to Luoyang to join you. Old Han and I tried to persuade him to stop him..."
"The five-hundred-year-old man who followed the Lord and Marquis back then repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and became famous. Little Plum's eyes were red with envy, and he was babbled in his dreams. He only regretted that he could not follow the Lord and Marquis that day...
…”
Listening to Yang Feng's narration, and thinking of the voices and looks of Bai Bo's commanders, Wang Yu's heart also felt warm. The friendship between men who fought side by side is something that time cannot erase.
After chatting for a while, Yang Feng hesitated and asked: "Junhou, why don't you stay in Luoyang? Or simply go to Guanzhong. Baibo's nearly 100,000 brothers are willing to die for you... Once you go, I will wait for you.
How should we adapt?"
Yang Feng was indeed at a loss. After learning Wang Yu's true identity, Baibo was full of joy. They all felt that with such a big backer, the future was bright. Who would have thought that Wang Yu would abandon Luoyang, return to his hometown, and become the governor of Qingzhou?
.
Qingzhou, for him, a native of Hedong, is too far away and exists only in legends. There are too many people in the Baibo Army, and it is impossible to abandon their hometown and follow them. Even if they want to, they can't do it.
The time and supplies required for a large migration of so many people will be extremely terrifying, and no one can afford it.
"You just need to stick to where you are. Isn't it your expectation to live in peace? As for the future, haha, troubled times will always end. As long as you stick to your heart, are you afraid that we will never see you again?"
Wang Yu was actually quite reluctant to part with the power of Hedong, but with so many people, he couldn't possibly take them all away.
Speaking of which, his current team is already very large. If his uncle Hu Muban hadn't assured her that the Hu and Wang family's family business could support this army of nearly 10,000 people in the short term, Wang Yu might have
You have to make other plans.
Yang Feng also knew that he couldn't keep Wang Yu, so he didn't bother much. He changed the topic and brought up another topic: "Junhou, do you know why the brothers called you the Little Heavenly Master that day?"
"Well," Wang Yu replied subconsciously: "Isn't it because of the great sage and mentor?"
"Yes, and no." Yang Feng shook his head noncommittally, "When the prince went to Qingzhou to take up his post, he must have gathered the local Yellow Turbans, but the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are very different from the Yellow Turbans in other places..."
Yang Feng didn't know much about Qingzhou itself, so his explanation was naturally not as detailed as Chen Gui's. He explained it from another angle.
"The Qushuai of Qingzhou originally had thousands or tens of thousands of people and dominated the area. They only changed their banners after the Yellow Turban uprising in various places. Even if the great sages and teachers were there at that time, they could not control them freely. Similar to them,
And those people from Heishan... Therefore, when the great masters and brothers were besieged by the army in Jizhou that day, and the situation was critical, the troops from Heishan and Qingzhou stood still."
"These two Yellow Turbans are not really Yellow Turbans, and they do not have unified command. They all go their own way. After the death of the great virtuous master, a few of his disciples who were insightful went to Heishan and Qingzhou respectively, intending to unite the two places.
The Yellow Turbans unite and work together to achieve great things."
"The one who went to Heishan was Zhang Niujiao's adopted son Chu Feiyan, and the one who went to Qingzhou was a person called the Little Heavenly Master, a direct disciple of the great virtuous master... I heard that this humanistic method is profound and he has received the true inheritance of the great virtuous master.
That's why the brothers called you Junhou that way..."
"If the prince wants to conquer the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, he may start from this person. It is all for the great cause of Taiping Dao. Why bother to fight against him?"
Little Heavenly Master?
Zhang Jiao's personal disciple?
This is really the first time I heard about this.
Wang Yu was very surprised. He only knew that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were the later Qingzhou Army. He felt that since Cao Cao could conquer it, it would be easier for him, a little heavenly master, so he focused on Qingzhou. Who would have thought that there are many more stories in it. (
