Whether it was luck or something else, Wang Yu's opening remarks clearly established the harmonious atmosphere of the meeting.
Tian Kai said straight to the point: "Junhou, you are a cheerful person, and Kai is not a sissy who likes to talk in circles. My lord originally just asked a certain person to send a messenger here, but Kai felt that he must meet the world-famous Wang Junhou in person.
That’s the right thing to do. Some things are hard to explain clearly if you don’t say them face to face..."
Facing Wang Yu's slightly puzzled gaze, Tian Kai patted his chest and laughed boldly: "Look at my mouth, I clearly said I don't talk in circles, but after talking so much, my lord said: You and I are secretly separated."
Zhou Nai is a close ally. If there is something going on in Qingzhou, he should personally bring an army to help, but something happened at home, and he has no time to spare for the moment, so he can only let Kai do it for him."
"Something happened in Youzhou?"
"It's not a big deal..." Tian Kai hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "The Lord is not an outsider, so it doesn't matter if you say it. My lord should not be surprised, but that old man Liu is causing trouble again..."
The old man Liu Tian Kai was talking about was Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. Wang Yu knew that the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu was very bad.
When he was at Hulao Pass, Gongsun Zan cursed Liu Yu more than once in front of Wang Yu, but apart from differences on external affairs, he never said anything practical.
After listening to Tian Kai's account, Wang Yu had a general impression of the situation in Youzhou.
The dispute between Liu and Gongsun was very similar to the civil-military dispute in the later Song and Ming dynasties, except that the military generals were not as weak as the Song and Ming warriors.
Liu Yu was from the clan and led the Youzhou shepherd. He had control over the civil and military affairs in the state, held great power, and was superior. Gongsun Zan, on the other hand, started his military career from a low-level general and was cut with swords and spears. There was an essential difference between the two people.
Different positions and different opinions meant that the two of them had different opinions. Liu Yu always wanted to completely suppress Gongsun Zan, so that he would not dare to go east or west, and he would just be a thug.
Although not as exaggerated as Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan is also a proud man, and he is not willing to give in easily. Just like that, the two launched an all-round confrontation.
"On the surface, it was Yuan Shao and Han Fu who caused the matter of proclaiming the emperor. Old Liu Tou had been refusing on the surface. But if he, Yuan and Han didn't have any tacit understanding, why did they have to do it if there were so many clans in the world?
Pushing old Liu Tou out? He is highly respected? He is close? Liu Gongshan of Yanzhou is not inferior to him, right?"
Tian Kai said angrily.
"Han Fu is such a coward. Not to mention deposing the emperor, he can't even figure out his own affairs. The main reason why my lord raised troops to go south was to scare him so that he would stop hooking up with old Liu Tou. Who knew that this would happen?
You actually abdicated the throne and gave up Jizhou to Yuan Shao! This kind of trash, if someone hadn't instigated him, would he dare to think of supporting the emperor? Bah!"
Wang Yu nodded but did not respond.
The process of power transition in Jizhou is very detailed in the novel. It is nothing more than Yuan Shao playing with two fools Han Fu and Gongsun Zan. Now it seems that Yuan Shao's methods are sharper than in the novel, and Gongsun Zan and Han Fu
But not as stupid as in the novel.
Han Fu got into the trap because of greed, but Gongsun Zan was wrong no matter how he dealt with it, and he was taken advantage of with his eyes open.
As long as he doesn't want Liu Yu to become emperor, he can only fall into the trap. Among the three supporting parties, Yuan Shao is far away and out of his reach; if Liu Yu can wave his hand and settle the matter, Gongsun Zan will not delay it until now; except for threats
After Han Fu, what else could he do?
Yuan Shao has an average character, but his methods are much better than imagined. If you think about it carefully, the looming black hand behind the Qingzhou Yellow Turban might also be related to him.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in history did not come to Yanzhou from the beginning. They first crossed the river and headed north to threaten the Bohai Sea, which had just fallen into Gongsun Zan's hands. As a result, they were not vigilant enough, and Gongsun Zan used a long-distance attack to cross the border halfway.
After the attack, most of them were defeated, and they had no choice but to retreat to Qingzhou and find another way out.
This battle did not consume much of Gongsun Zan's troops, but the Youzhou army's tactics were displayed in front of the world, and Yuan Shao was able to get some information and experience to deal with it.
Afterwards, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans began to attack Mount Tai.
The Grand Administrator of Taishan is Ying Shao, who belongs to Yuan Shu. This can be seen from the fact that he gladly gave up the position of Grand Administrator after receiving a letter from Yuan Shu, and handed over the power without any conflict.
After sweeping Mount Tai, it was Liu Dai's turn in Yanzhou.
Yanzhou Liu Dai was independent of Yuan Shao and a third party besides Gongsun Zan. Both sides were trying their best to win him over, but Liu Dai didn't rely on either side and just stood in the middle to profit.
At the same time, Cao Cao, who was still Yuan Shao's younger brother, was attacking Yanzhou. Therefore, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans swept westward. Liu Dai and Bao Xin were killed one by one, and the power of Yanzhou fell into Cao Cao's hands.
In fact, according to Wang Yu's opinion, Yuan Shao might have plotted with Cao Cao at that time.
I just didn't expect that Cao Cao was superior in skills. Not only did he successfully capture Yanzhou, but he also incorporated the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. His power was greatly enhanced, and he suddenly got rid of the semi-dependent state and became an equal with Yuan Shao.
After traveling through time, Wang Yu never looked down upon the Yuan brothers, but now, he was very wary.
Conspiracy is different from conspiracy. It lacks the uprightness and irresistible momentum of the latter, but it is hard to guard against. Yuan Shao, who is deeply immersed in this way, is far from the indecisive idiot in the novel.
The reason why he behaves indecisively is probably because this person uses too much conspiracy and relies too much on conspiracy, so he does not appear to be so decisive in a head-on confrontation. Think about it, using conspiracy to solve the opponent is much less costly than a head-on confrontation.
The results are quick and you can use conspiracy, so why do you have to do it head-on?
Tian Kai didn't know that his introduction to the situation in Youzhou led Wang Yu's thoughts to Yuan Shao. He talked bitterly for a while and finally remembered the topic: "My lord can't come, but Kai brought it."
Two thousand fine cavalry, and more than a thousand infantry of Xuande's, are at your disposal, whether in water or fire, without any hesitation."
"Accepting Brother Bogui's kindness to help you in times of need, Yu will not refuse." Wang Yu expressed his thanks and sighed secretly in his heart.
Gongsun Zan's defeat to Yuan Shao was not unjust at all. Although his military strength was strong, he was too majestic and upright. How could he possibly guard against Yuan Shao's level of hidden arrows?
However, as an ally, Gongsun Zan should be regarded as the best ally in this era. He was just an unintentional thorn in the jujube tree that day, but today, he has borne the most abundant fruits.
"Just based on this refreshing energy, Kai knows that Junhou is a member of my generation, haha." Tian Kai gave a thumbs up and said with a hearty smile: "It's not like those clansmen and celebrities who clearly think about it in their hearts and still act coy.
I reluctantly declined. Every time I see that kind of person, I want to take it back and see what his expression will be like."
No wonder...
Wang Yu figured out part of the historical truth again. No wonder the emperor's uncle couldn't get along with Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan himself might not care, but his subordinates had no good impression of the clan itself because of Liu Yu, plus Liu Bei's style
, it’s strange to be able to eat it happily.
"Junhou, how should we deal with this situation now?"
"Brother French, what do you think?" Wang Yu pulled Tian Kai to the map and asked without answering.
"There is too much difference in military strength, so this battle will not be easy to fight. However, the monarch and his army are unparalleled. There should be a way. According to Kai's opinion..."
Tian Kai looked embarrassed, but did not refuse. He pointed to the center of the map and said: "There are too many moth thieves here in Linzi. If they don't move, they will definitely not be able to fight. The first priority now should be to prevent them from getting more
…”
He pointed to Bo Chang's location.
"My troops are here and can be divided into five groups. Xuande is stationed at Bochang, and the remaining 500 people form a group to spread out along the line from Banyang to Changguo to prevent the thieves from Jinan and Le'an from continuing to attack.
Assemble in Linzi. The prince's troops in Beihai can also follow the same situation and intercept them first. If the moth thieves cannot hold back, divide the troops and intercept them, and there will be opportunities to defeat them."
Youzhou people are not good at conspiracy, but they are not bad at military strategy. The focus of Tian Kai's strategy is not to intercept, but to build momentum. With the mobility of Youzhou Qingqi, three thousand cavalry are enough to form an encirclement net and cut off Linzi.
The contact with the outside world feels like being surrounded by countless soldiers and horses, in order to shake the Linzi Yellow Turbans' military morale.
If the Yellow Turbans ignore it, shake the morale of the army, and cut off the support, it is acceptable. Anyway, the Yellow Turban army moves slowly. If it keeps this state from Linzi all the way to Fenggao, it is likely to collapse halfway.
If the Yellow Turbans do not suppress enough and divide their troops to attack, the murderous intent of this strategy will be revealed. If they are defeated one by one, the Yellow Turbans will become a mob. If they suffer continuous defeats, their morale will drop to the extreme and they will collapse.
This strategy is very courageous and brings the combat power of Qingqi to the extreme. Tian Kai must have thought carefully about it.
"This is a good strategy, but I have other plans." As he said this, Wang Yu watched the change in Tian Kai's expression.
"The Lord indeed has another strange move, Kai is willing to hear the details." Tian Kai was not disappointed, but asked Wang Yu's plan with great interest.
"I can't say there are any strange moves, I just have some worries and ideas... First of all, Yu plans to use this battle to completely solve Qingzhou, so there is no need to stop the bandits from all over the country. Secondly, the background of this gathering of bandits is extremely complicated. Except for some
In addition to people with ulterior motives adding fuel to the flames, there is also a general leader in the army, who is called the Little Heavenly Master!"
"This person...could he be related to the Zhang Jiao brothers back then?" Tian Kai understood what Wang Yu meant.
If it were just a mob, the morale of the Yellow Turbans would not be too high, and the cohesion would not be too strong. It would be fine to fight with the wind going smoothly, but once it suffers a setback, it would easily collapse.
But it's different if it's an organized one. When the Yellow Turbans were first raised in the first year of Zhongping, even famous generals like Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, with their elite Northern Army, still couldn't resist the Yellow Turbans on the frontal battlefield.
The edge can only be weakened by trickery, and then try to win.
"When Yu was in Luoyang, General Bai Bo once mentioned this person, saying that he was a direct disciple of Zhang Jiao and that he had great magical power." Wang Yu nodded with a solemn expression: "Magical power and other things are all fictitious, but they bring
The effect is extraordinary..."
"He can also control the Yellow Turban Warriors?" Tian Kai was really moved this time.
If there are Yellow Turban warriors, the threat of the more than 300,000 Yellow Turbans will increase at least ten times. Although the number of Yellow Turbans is large, their attack ability and frontal combat ability are very poor. Only the human sea tactics can gain some upper hand. If there are Yellow Turbans,
Lux, then...
"This is still uncertain, but in line with the principle of showing leniency to the enemy... In fact, even if not, with the cover of this little heavenly master, the cohesion of the Yellow Turbans will be doubled. According to intelligence from the front, that Zhang Rao
The order has been passed through all departments of the Yellow Turban without any hindrance."
"This, this is going to be tricky." Tian Kai rubbed his hands, thought for a moment, and finally gave up: "Kai has no choice but to listen to the emperor's instructions." (To be continued. If you like this film, there is nothing you can do.
