Looking at this familiar round face, Wang Yu suddenly felt something in his heart. Instead of asking questions in a hurry, he smiled half-smilingly and asked in a teasing tone: "Wen He, why do I feel that you talk a lot more than usual today?
Woolen cloth?"
"Huh?" Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, then put on a posture of looking around and denying: "Is there? No? Is it your misunderstanding, my lord?"
"Oh..." The smile on Wang Yu's face became even thicker, he made a long note and said with a smile: "It turns out it's an illusion, it's an illusion."
Wang Yu is proud.
Jia Xu is a cunning guy who has everything planned out in his mind. Even if he is occasionally surprised during military discussions, no one knows whether he is really surprised or is just doing superficial things to flatter his lord.
To support him. It is indeed not that difficult to catch him off guard and make him look so embarrassed.
"Ahem, it must be an illusion." Jia Xu laughed and made nonsense: "My lord, you have been too busy recently. After you got married to the two ladies, you hardly saw each other. Without the harmony of yin and yang, you will naturally become lonely.
I feel that no matter who I talk to, I feel that the other person talks too much... Well, that’s it, it must be right.”
Wang Yu nodded and replied seriously: "Wen He, what you said is, let's continue talking. What topic were we talking about just now?"
Although he looked serious on the surface, Wang Yu was secretly laughing in his heart: The old fox was indeed a little stimulated. Thinking about it, although he usually behaves very openly, Guo Jia's strength is really a bit aggressive. Facing such a strong opponent, even if
The old fox will also be aroused, right? No wonder he is so proactive today.
This is fine. Even though we missed Guo Jia, it would not be a bad thing if we could get a Jia Xu who goes all out. There are too many brilliant strategists, which is not necessarily a good thing. Pang Tong in history
If he hadn't had the intention to compete with Kong Ming, how could he have fallen into Luofengpo without making any achievements?
Internal competition can exist, but it must be done when priorities are clear and everything is done step by step. Otherwise, not only will it not be a driving force, but it will actually be a hindrance.
"It's about how to further weaken Cao Cao." Jia Xu replied seriously.
"Well, you said the letter was written to whom? Can it have such a big effect?"
"Write to Baibo, Han Xian, Yang Feng and others in Hedong, asking them to abandon Hedong and lead their troops to march eastward." Jia Xu didn't hold back this time and answered quite happily. He told Wang Yu the plan without asking.
.
"Bai Bo? Marching eastward?" Wang Yu was surprised: "What does this have to do with Cao Cao? Could it be that they were asked to attack Dongjun from both sides? Such a large-scale coordinated operation is too difficult, right? Not to mention that although their momentum is huge,
, but the ratio of old and weak is very high, and the combat effectiveness will not be much better than that of the Montenegrin Army."
"No, no." Jia Xu shook his head and said: "My lord, don't just think about killing. Xu offered this plan to destroy Guo Fengxiao's wishful thinking. What does it have to do with attacking Dongjun?
?”
"Then..." Wang Yu was a little confused.
Jia Xu reminded him seriously: "You might as well think about it. If Cao Cao retreats, he will inevitably lose a lot of territory. Although these territories are not sacred and wealthy lands, even if they are buffer zones, losing them will be very troublesome. He has to find a way.
Make up for it?"
"That's true." Wang Yu nodded.
His intention of retaining Taishan is the same. Even if he wins a defensive battle on his homeland, the losses will be huge. When one's own side is not strong enough and cannot completely suppress the surrounding enemies, a strategic buffer zone can truly achieve this.
Defend the enemy outside the country's gates.
"Look at the terrain around Cao's army. After avoiding the alliance's sharp edge, where can he go if he wants to expand?" Jia Xu stretched out his finger, drew a few strokes on the snow on the top of the city, and drew a simple schematic diagram.
Come.
"To the north are Hanoi and Wei County. There is not much benefit in annexing Zhang Yang. It is also easy to be attacked by Lu Bu. The gain outweighs the loss. If you come to Wei County, you will be beaten at the door. Cao Cao is definitely not that stupid." Jia Xu asked and answered himself.
, a heavy stroke was made in the north of Dongjun.
"The same goes for going east, but what about going south? Both Nanyang and Jiangxia were Liu Jingsheng's territory. Liu Jingsheng was not aggressive enough, but he was more defensive than successful. At that time, with Sun Wentai's bravery and Yuan Gongdao's rich family background, they fought fiercely and ended up falling short in the end. Cao Mengde and
It is not yet known whether Sun Wentai is higher or lower, but he wants to take the Jingxiang land lightly, and if he does not fight for two or three years, he is afraid that he will not be able to achieve anything."
Jia Xu kept talking and quickly wiped out the east and south directions of Cao Cao's territory, leaving only an area west of Luoyang: "In this way, his expansion direction is only
To the west."
"Although Guanzhong is in ruins and Luoyang has experienced repeated wars last year, Sili Prefecture is the center of the Han Dynasty after all. Especially with the Lord's efforts to protect Luoyang, Luoyang will not be fatally affected by the war. If Cao Cao can conquer Chang'an in the west, Luoyang will
, the strength will inevitably increase sharply, let alone avoid the sharp edge of our army, even if it is a head-on confrontation, it will not be a problem."
"Of course, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army is in Guanzhong, and Lu Bu is in Luoyang. They are not easy targets. To some extent, they may be more difficult to deal with than Liu Biao. However, these two princes have their own weaknesses. As long as they are strengthened,
Use it, why is it so difficult to get it?"
Jia Xu pointed to Luoyang and analyzed: "Lü Bu has strong soldiers and brave generals, and the Bingzhou border troops are known as wolf cavalry. Even the Xianbei and the Huns fear them like tigers. However, Bingzhou soldiers and horses have been away from home for a long time, and they cannot replenish their troops. Lu Bu
Although there are many strong generals under his command, they lack political talents. Although they have the blessed land of Luoyang, they cannot effectively use it. Up to now, they have barely managed to be self-sufficient in food and fodder, but their soldiers and armor can only resort to external sources. How can this last long? "
"Moreover, after Dong Zhuo evaded the military attack of the Guandong princes, he has been actively planning and trying to make a comeback. The generals of Xiliang were in Hedong. Hongnong fought fiercely with Lu Bu and Bai Bo, and restrained most of Lu Bu's troops. At this time,
At that time, it would be easy for Cao Cao to take Luoyang. However, after taking Luoyang, he might face Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo's joint counterattack. In addition, the Hebei War was in full swing, so Cao Cao has been holding back his troops."
"And Dong Zhuo..." Jia Xu moved his fingers again, with a sneer on his face.
"Dong Zhuo doesn't know how to employ people, but he likes to pursue famous people. He made a mistake when he entered Luoyang and promoted many famous people to be governors and state pastors. As a result, the people who jointly attacked him were the same people he promoted personally. The Lord was alone that day.
He sneaked into Luoyang and conspired with Wang Yun. Although he did not accomplish all his efforts, all the details involved could not be hidden from a truly wise man."
After a slight pause, Jia Xu changed his tone with a meaningful tone: "There must have been many people among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty who have collaborated with the Guandong princes. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao are all their targets. Now Yuan Shao has been destroyed, and Liu Jingsheng
He has no interest in courting the emperor and advancing in Guanzhong, so Cao Cao naturally became the greatest hope of the ministers."
"That's it." Wang Yu was very surprised.
Dong Zhuo would be killed by the courtiers. This is something that did happen in history. There were many ministers involved in this matter. Wang Yun and Lu Bu were just inevitable accidents. Without them, this thing would have happened.
The necessary condition is not Wang Yun and Lu Bu, but Dong Zhuo's direct troops fighting outside, and his side is relatively empty, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of.
Wang Yu was not surprised by this. What surprised him was just Jia Xu's judgment and interpretation of the matter.
Just as he considered when he assassinated Dong that day, the core of Dong Zhuo's group is Dong Zhuo. Once Dong Zhuo dies, the seemingly powerful Xiliang Army will only fall apart. Especially now that there are no Jia Xu, Li Jue, and Guo Si, can they do what they want?
As in history, it is unknown whether someone will fight back instead of fleeing.
If Guo Jia has a similar judgment and leads Cao Jun's overall strategy in the process, he might be able to get a big advantage - he can get the entire Sili Prefecture at his fingertips, and he can also recruit some Xiliang warriors. His strength is not only
What can be described by two words: skyrocketing?
"Our army is out of reach of the battle situation in Guan and Luo. Even if Dong Zhuo writes a letter to remind him, he will not believe it. He will only think that the lord is using a delaying tactic to protect Bai Bo. Therefore, the only thing the lord can do is to influence the situation in Guan and Luo.
What has a major impact is to pull out the fire under the cauldron!"
That's right, it was just a matter of drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron. Wang Yu fully understood the genius of Jia Xu's ruthless move.
After what happened to Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo should have been aware of the hidden dangers around him to some extent. But he knew that there was nothing he could do. The three assistants were broken. If he could not capture Hedong and Luoyang, what would he use to support his 100,000 troops?
Especially Hedong. After Baibo took over Hedong, he killed all the powerful people there and owned a lot of fertile land. As long as Hedong was captured, Dong Zhuo would be relieved and there would be no need to take huge risks and march eastward with all his strength. As long as he captured Hedong, Dong Zhuo would be relieved.
If he is transferred back to his direct lineage, Chang'an will be safe, and he won't have to hide in the castle of Meiwu all the time.
In this way, although the military pressure in Luoyang is still there and Lu Bu is facing danger at any time, as long as Cao Cao cannot disintegrate Dong Zhuo's army from within, even if he takes Luoyang, he will only have two more enemies.
Taking Luoyang's revenge will make Lu Bu regard him as an enemy; if Dong Zhuo wants to conquer the world, he must march to Luoyang. It doesn't matter who occupies Luoyang. The key is that as long as there are people staying there, they will block Dong Zhuo's way. He must
To attack it.
"My lord, the four generals Bai Bo regard you as a god, and you have Imperial Physician Zhang here, and the situation in Hedong is very critical. As long as the lord sends a handwritten letter, how can there be no reason why hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Hedong should not respond? Against the enemy, this is a strategy to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron;
To our friends, this is to save them from danger; to ourselves, with the enrichment of these hundreds of thousands of people, our army's strength has also been greatly expanded."
The reasons are sufficient and the effect is excellent. This is Jia Xu's style of planning. Wang Yu thought about it and found that he couldn't even think of a refutation, and he could only be amazed in his heart.
Wang Yu raised a finger and asked: "There is only one question, who will handle this matter?"
"This matter..." Jia Xu smiled slightly and said a name: "It has to be Yuan Zhi."
A big man's words can lead to his legs being broken. As Wang Yu and Jia Xu chatted at the top of the city, the fate of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians began to change.
In a sense, the upcoming far-reaching drastic changes in Hedong are actually just the beginning of the battle between two wise men standing at the pinnacle of the times. The future is still long and exciting. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
