They both came under pseudonyms, but Xu Shu’s reasons were different from Tian Feng’s.
Tian Feng wanted to avoid hurting his family. Qingzhou and Jizhou were in a state of hostility. The Julu Tian family had a large fortune and Yuan Shao was not very broad-minded. Naturally, he had to be careful.
The reason for Xu Shu is much simpler. His real name is Xu Fu. He changed his name to Xu Shu after he helped people in Yingchuan report an injustice and committed murder. It doesn't matter to him what his name is, as long as no one follows him.
Just settle old scores.
Therefore, after being called Xu Shu by Wang Yu, he was only surprised for a moment, then returned to normal, and changed his name to Xu Shu in a good-natured manner.
He had not been in the army for a long time, and apart from providing Taishi Ci with another reason to talk, he did not cause any other problems. On the contrary, with the help of Jia Xu, he organized the intelligence work in an orderly manner, and he stepped into the field before he saw it.
regular.
For Wang Yu, this meant that he could delegate some trivial matters with confidence.
In the view of Jia Xu and others, this is his potential to be the boss without doubting who he hires and not using others when he doubts them. In fact, it is just a concrete manifestation of his concept of professional division of labor.
"After Guanzhong recovered a little and confirmed the movement of our army, Dong Zhuo began to prepare for action. The Xiliang army was divided into three groups. Li Jue and Guo Bin stationed at Huayin, and came out from Puban to oppress Hedong; Dong Yue stationed at Mianchi.
, Peeping into Hangu Pass; Zhang Ji left Wuguan, attacked Nanyang, and the troops have reached Danshui, analyzing the county area..."
There was a continuous battle in Qingzhou, and other princes were also busy. The one who made the most noise was Dong Zhuo.
After receiving the news from Qingzhou, Fatty Dong's heart finally dropped, and his energy and energy suddenly recovered. Now that Wang Yu has begun to farm in a big way, it is obvious that he is going to take root in Qingzhou.
With the base established, Wang Yu returning to the sea like a dragon will definitely be more terrifying than before, but that is a matter of the future. As long as he is sure that Wang Yu will not appear in front of him, Dong Zhuo will have nothing to fear.
What's more, he lost money in Luoyang and returned to Guanzhong empty-handed. If he didn't get some money and food as soon as possible, considering the composition of the Xiliang army, he could only wait to fall apart.
There are only three directions in which he can use his troops. Xiliang is poorer than Guanzhong, so Dong Zhuo would be lucky if the rebels over there didn't come to capture Guanzhong. Of course, he couldn't stir up a hornet's nest by himself.
Or Hanzhong and even Western Shu. If we take a long-term view, this strategy may not be a national strategy, but how can Dong Zhuo wait? His army is waiting for rice to be put into the pot.
"On the east side of Hedong, Bai Bo took advantage of the geographical advantage and waited for work, and could not get out. Although Li and Guo attacked fiercely, there was nothing they could do. Now it is a stalemate. From a common perspective, as long as Bai Bo does not change his tune, even if they engage in battle,
If it is unfavorable, we can also return to Jiexian County, build strong walls and wait for Li Jue to retreat."
"In the direction of Luoyang, Lu Bu led Zhang Liao as the chief general and Gao Shun as his deputy, and led 5,000 troops to garrison Hangu Pass. Dong Yue underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. He was attacked by Gao Shun's troops in Xin'an. He stopped one of three stops and retreated until
Shaanxian County has just stopped the trend of defeat, and now it can no longer pose an effective threat to Luoyang."
"Only the battle in Nanyang was relatively smooth. Zhang Ji was steady in his troops and had a nephew Zhang Xiu who was incapable of doing anything. In addition, General Highway divided his troops into two groups, both of which were attacking outside. Nanyang was empty, but it was caught off guard."
In line with the principle of first far away and then near, Xu Shu first introduced the battle situation in the Central Plains.
"Yuanzhi, how do you think the situation in Wanluo will evolve next?"
The situation in Sili Prefecture is not directly related to Qingzhou, but it cannot be said that it is not related at all. To a certain extent, Bai Bo should be regarded as a subsidiary force of Qingzhou, and Yuan Shu is an ally with a common enemy. Although Lu Bu is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, but
If done properly, it may not be impossible to develop for the better.
Wang Yu wanted to see what Xu Shu was capable of, so he asked this question.
"The Highway General has no long-term plan, and the advantage he gained by relying on the Lord in the early stage has been lost. If he withdraws from Nanjun as soon as possible, there is still hope to keep Nanyang for a comeback in the future. However, judging from the general view, he may not be so easy.
If you give up, you will probably suffer a big setback in Jingzhou and be driven away in the end."
This is the terrible thing about the Four War Land.
Before Wang Yu left Luoyang, Yuan Shu swept Yuzhou, and Jingzhou seemed to be in decline in the blink of an eye, and the situation was very good. But after that, the situation quickly took a turn for the worse.
First, the attack on Nanjun failed, and the troops were trapped under the fortified city; then Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, and after withdrawing his hand, he quickly mobilized troops and generals to reinforce Zhou Ang. The situation in Yuzhou suddenly reversed and became precarious; before Yuan Shu could figure out what to do,
In response, Zhang Ji stabbed out diagonally, completely disrupting Yuan Shu's formation.
The enemies on three sides were very sharp, but Yuan Shu's reaction was very slow. He adopted the method of dividing his troops. As a result, he defeated Gongsun Yue in Yuzhou and lost Wuguan in the west. The strategy of Xiangyang City is still far away. Now, he
It’s already the end of autumn for grasshoppers, and they can’t be seen jumping around for more than a few days.
Xu Shu's deduction was very accurate, and Wang Yu knew clearly that Yuan Shu would soon suffer a big loss under Xiangyang City and lose his general Sun Jian. In desperation, he completely gave up Nanyang and retreated to Yuzhou.
"The battle situation in Hedong..."
Xu Shu said with certainty: "Dong Zhuo will soon discover that his previous arrangements were wrong, and he will probably abandon Luoyang and attack Baibo with all his strength. After all, Baibo is rich and the terrain east of the river is remote. If he captures it, he will not arouse the hostility of the Central Plains princes."
and siege. I thought that Dong Zhuo might send more reinforcements to attack Baibo from both directions of Shaanxi County and Puban, and the war would expand."
"What's the result?" Wang Yu asked.
"If we only consider the war situation in Hedong, Baibo should not be able to last long. Now that Baibo has been divided into two, the four generals including Guo Tai and Yang Feng have separated. Since the beginning of the war in Hedong, he not only did not reinforce, but also took the opportunity to seize Wenxi
City. It is conceivable that when the war is at its most intense, General Yang Feng will probably be attacked on three sides, unless..."
"unless?"
"Lü Bu's behavior is a bit strange." Xu Shu nodded, "Luoyang is surrounded by troops, and Bingzhou has few soldiers and horses. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are his right-hand men. He asked these two generals to command his infantry to garrison Hangu Pass.
, leaving the cavalry in Luoyang seems to be seeking stability, but I thought that he seemed to intend to march westward."
"Going west?" Xu Shu's reputation in the Taishan Army was not well known. Even though Tian Feng had done enough homework in advance, he didn't know about his existence. At this time, seeing Xu Shu talking eloquently and making incisive analysis, Tian Feng was also surprised.
"Is it possible that he intends to join forces with the generals from Hedong? Bingzhou has elite soldiers, but they are few in number and lack food and grass. Baibo has many people, few elites, but plenty of money and food. If they can join forces to fight against the enemy, it would be a good idea."
"Mr. Yuan Hao is right," Xu Shu smiled, and then changed the topic: "However, I guess that Lu Bu may not only be thinking about protecting himself."
"Not only thinking about self-protection? Doesn't he want to conquer Guanzhong?" Tian Feng is good at internal affairs, which does not mean that he does not understand strategy. Lu Bu is in Luoyang, and the best direction for expansion is actually Nanyang, not Guanzhong.
If Lu Bu also joins, Yuan Shu will be surrounded by enemies on all sides and has no way to resist. Lu Bu can take the opportunity to encroach on the land in the north of Nanyang. Based on the specific situation, he can decide to attack Yingchuan or go south to Jingzhou.
In the direction of Guanzhong, the Xiliang army still has strength, and it is impossible for Lu Bu to do anything with the few troops he has. Taking advantage of the alliance to annex Baibo is a good idea, but Tian Feng doubts whether Lu Bu has that kind of strategy.
"Of course it won't work under normal circumstances, but it's hard to say now. Dong Zhuo divided his troops and sent out all his direct troops to fight. Now only the Flying Bear Army is left in Chang'an City. On that day, the Lord released nearly 10,000 surrendered soldiers of the Yongzhou Army.
Now these surrendered soldiers have returned to Chang'an and been gathered into an army."
"You mean..." Tian Feng suddenly raised his head with a look of shock on his face.
Wang Yu had already done this kind of thing from the inside, and when he was reminded of this, he couldn't think of anything else. Is it still Tian Feng?
Xu Shu nodded solemnly to him.
"Yuan Zhi, if there is a change in Guanzhong as you expected, how should our army respond so that we can gain the greatest benefit from the change?" Wang Yu became more and more interested.
In addition to Jizhou and Jingzhou, the history that Wang Yu knew has changed too much, especially in Guanzhong. Wang Yun died, Lu Bu defected, and Jia Xu was poached by himself. These are some of the most critical changes in Chang'an's history.
All the characters have disappeared, and Wang Yu is not sure how the situation in Guanzhong will evolve.
Now Xu Shu suddenly raised the possibility of changes in Guanzhong, and two major think tanks came together to discuss the details. They just happened to study it together to determine Qingzhou's next strategy.
Xu Shu cupped his hands to Wang Yugong and said with a smile: "I think our army does not need to use a single soldier, but only one envoy to go to Wanluo and east of the river. This can appease the generals Yang Feng."
, give face-to-face instructions to preserve this friendly army; in addition, you can show kindness to Yuan and Lu to facilitate future strategies."
"The huge city of Luoyang can't even exchange the word 'thank you', how can you show kindness with empty words?"
When he was in Luoyang, Wang Yu's biggest grievance was that he brought the Bingzhou Army under his banner. It went smoothly at first, and he and Lu Bu felt a bit sympathetic to each other. But later, because of Diao Chan's incident, the vague goodwill collapsed instantly.
Even though he had given away such a huge favor before leaving, he was not able to impress Lu Bu in the slightest. Wang Yu deeply regretted this.
Xu Shu said confidently: "It may not be useful at the time. When the reminder happens, even if Lu and Yuan disagree on the surface, they will definitely be amazed by their lord's foresight in their hearts. Next time a similar situation happens, they will
I’ve seriously considered it.”
Seeing that Wang Yu was still thinking, Xu Shu added more: "My lord, you should still remember that before the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou attacked Linzi, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and others in Bingzhou publicly threatened that if my lord could win this battle, they would come forward to advise Marquis Wen.
, and merge the entire army under your command?"
Wang Yu nodded: "That's what happened. What happened next?"
"When news of the great victory at Mount Tai reached Luoyang, Lu Bu personally tied up the two generals and beat each of them with forty military sticks in public."
"..." Wang Yu glanced at Xu Shu, then at the two think tanks, and found that all three of them were smiling. He was a little puzzled, "Is this a good thing?"
"My lord is so wise and confused for a moment," Jia Xu liked this topic the most. He continued: "If Marquis Wen really didn't take my lord to heart, why did he make such a big fuss? Obviously, the lord's win over
Not only did the generals of Bingzhou see it, Marquis Wen himself was also worried, so he acted like this to express his position."
"So that's it." Wang Yu suddenly realized. Looking at it this way, there is still hope. "So, Yuan Zhi, what do you want to do to show favor to Marquis Wen?"
Xu Shu smiled slightly and said: "Remind him not to move out easily, otherwise he will be attacked." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support,
