In fact, Taishi Ci made more than one sentence wrong. The envoys from all sides were indeed shocked, but no one really gave up the idea of fighting for supremacy. They only strengthened their thoughts before coming. To fight against Qingzhou, we cannot be hasty and must find another way.
Good strategy.
As soon as the ceremony ended, Liu Yu and Cheng Yu hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Yu.
"Wang Qiaoqi's troops are so powerful in China. From today onwards, all the heroes in the world will block the barbarians. No one will dare to look at each other sideways." Liu Yu's ability to control emotions amazed Wang Yu.
He had suffered such a big loss just now, and he must have been very shocked during the military parade, but at this moment, the old man acted as if nothing had happened. His tone and expression were extremely sincere, and he looked down upon honor and disgrace.
It was perfect, and with Wang Yu's eyesight, he couldn't see any flaws.
Of course, although there was no thorn in the old man's words, it was not without any problems. Wang Yu noticed that upon hearing this praise, Cheng Yu's eyelids twitched twice, obviously he was touched.
Wang Yu cupped his hands as a courtesy, smiled calmly and said, "I am so embarrassed that I cannot deserve your compliments."
"Although Wang Qiaoqi is young, his magnanimity is as deep as the abyss. Even Huo Qiaoqi back then may not be as good as the general today..."
Liu Yu seemed to have changed his strategy and planned to turn from confrontation to flattery. Originally he was just saying goodbye, but he took Wang Yu's hand and talked endlessly, showering Wang Yu with all kinds of praises as if they were free of charge.
Damn. This time, Lao Wang Kuang couldn't stand listening anymore and wanted to say a few humble words, but Liu Yu was eloquent and eloquent, so how could he get in the way?
"Where, where, Yu thinks he has some skills, but how can he compare with Huo Qiqi who has sealed the wolf in Xu? In terms of actual performance, I'm afraid he can't even reach one-tenth." Wang Yu didn't care so much, he grabbed
He interrupted Liu Yu's words and then raised his voice: "Eleventh..."
"The end is here!" Li Shiyi stepped out.
"When you see Liu Shijun out later, remember to walk from Desheng Mountain so that he can see if I am being humble." Wang Yu waved his hand casually and said a few words to the old Liu.
Sent.
The trick of flattery and killing is too old-fashioned and not very appropriate for the time. If it were used when I first started the army, it would be quite lethal. Now, will there be a big difference if I have this trick?
The heroes of the world already regard themselves as a thorn in their side. If the alliance can solve the problem, do you think they will not besiege them on all sides? Unfortunately, they can't do it. Except for Cao Cao, Zhang Yang, and high officials who were not present, the other princes did not even
A place bordering one's own territory.
And Zhang Yan's existence, in a sense, is also a shield against Zhang Yang and high-ranking officials. Now, Qingzhou's unique strategic advantages will be fully exerted.
"Here!" Li Shiyi clasped his fists in agreement and extended his greeting. Although Liu Yu was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to lead everyone away. He was wondering, when did a Shengsheng Mountain appear near Gaotang? Could it be that?
Did this kid get so carried away that he changed the name of Mingshi Mountain?
Wang Yu no longer cared what Liu Yu thought, and turned to Cheng Yu.
"Why did Mr. Zhongde leave in such a hurry? Could it be that someone did not greet me well and angered Mr. Zhongde?"
Cheng Yu bowed his hands as a courtesy and said with great respect: "I don't dare. There are really many affairs in the army and it has been bothering me for so long, so I have to return. Your army's appearance and majesty, as well as the monarch's intention to stop fighting and save benevolence."
, Cheng will convey it to my lord, if the two families join forces to calm down the troubled times, it will be just around the corner. For such a big event, Cheng cannot be allowed to stay for a long time."
"I see." Wang Yu nodded and asked abruptly: "I wonder what your next move will be? But are you going to march westward and attack Guanzhong and Luoyang?"
Cheng Yu was startled and did not answer yet. He only listened to Wang Yu's own questions and answers, and said seriously: "If this is really the case, General Cao must be more careful. Dong Zhuo has one hundred thousand troops, powerful horses and horses, and millions of Qiang from Xiliang."
Hu, the rebels can be mobilized. If a war breaks out, it may not be resolved quickly, so General Cao should be careful."
"..." Cheng Yu's face froze, and he forced a smile and said: "Cheng should convey the teachings of the monarch to my lord. As for the westward march to Guanluo, although Cheng is of low rank, he is not allowed to hear the secret.
But judging by reason, I think that with my lord's calmness, he is not good at using weapons. This matter is just what others say, it is just a fiction."
The two asked and answered each other, which seemed ordinary, but in fact there were many hidden scenes of swords and swords.
Wang Yu proposed Cao Cao's intention to march westward, hinting to Cheng Yu that he would remind Dong Zhuo to fight with all his strength, which greatly increased the resistance to Cao Cao's westward march.
Although Cheng Yu was taken aback, he answered in a flawless manner, especially the word 'steady', which was neither soft nor hard, and he counterattacked Wang Yu. It hinted that Cao Cao's acting style was to make decisions before acting, and to be sure.
After that, it will actually be launched. Even if Wang Yu reminds Dong Zhuo to beware of Cao Cao, it may not be effective.
Wang Yu looked at Cheng Yu again with admiring eyes, suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Zhongde's behavior and speech are quite like the ancients, especially his ability to hide needles in cotton wool, which is really amazing. The so-called: good bird
Choose a tree to live in, and a wise minister will take charge of his affairs. Sir, you are not satisfied in Yanzhou, but the population of our Qingzhou territory has increased sharply, and when we are employing people, sir, are you willing to condescend?"
As far as Wang Yu knew, when big people spoke, they all liked to use the method of changing the topic instantly to dominate the direction of the conversation. He usually didn't use these scheming methods, but occasionally used them, and it had an outstanding effect.
Cheng Yu was startled again, and after a moment, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he replied helplessly: "I am ashamed to accept the great love of the prince. However, as the old saying goes: a horse has no tail and two saddles, and a loyal minister will not serve two masters.
General Cao treated Yu very well and could not bear to abandon him."
He also didn't expect that Wang Yu would openly poach people, and do so so confidently. But he had to say that for a moment, he was really moved. After all, Qingzhou's momentum was better, even if Cao Cao successfully captured Guan Luo,
The situation with Wang Yu is evenly matched. If he cannot win, once Wang Yu slows down, Cao Cao will have no room to resist.
However, the wavering only lasted for a moment, and reason finally prevailed. Not to mention other things, just the reputation of betraying the master's family during the mission was not what Cheng Yu was willing to bear, not to mention the many practical problems involved in changing camps.
.
"That would be such a pity." Wang Yu sighed, but he said reluctantly: "I am not lucky enough to have a chance to meet you. However, for a scholar like you, Qingzhou's door is always open.
Even if he fights a war, when the outcome is clear, it will not be too late if you change your mind."
"You are so kind to me, I am ashamed to accept it." Cheng Yu said thank you, but he was also shouting evil in his heart.
This was not the first time that Wang Yu and him met. When Wang Yu got married last year, he was the envoy on behalf of Yanzhou. At that time, Wang Yu's words were still a bit rude. Why did he suddenly change so much now?
Did he change his attitude after winning? Or did he gain a deeper understanding of his talents through something? Or... Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of a very absurd possibility: Wang Yu planned to pass
To convey some kind of message to yourself, to other people in Cao camp, or to someone?
"I dare you to teach me that Yu is here this time..." No matter what Wang Yu's purpose was, since he showed a polite attitude, Cheng Yu would not let go of such a good opportunity. He took advantage of the situation and proposed
the main purpose of the mission.
"It's easy to say." Wang Yu waved his hand magnanimously: "General Zixiao died in battle. I respected him and did not behead him to record his merits. Mr. Zhicai's death was an accident. Mr. Zhongde just took him back and buried him.
That’s it.”
When Cheng Yu heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed, he bowed his head deeply and said thanks: "Your Majesty is so generous, I would like to thank you on behalf of my lord, Mr. Cheng."
After thanking Wang Yu, he left the Central Army and looked at several familiar or unfamiliar faces waiting outside the tent. Especially when he saw the sparks that appeared when Yan Xiang and Chen Gui occasionally looked at each other, and the one from Jingzhou.
When the young man's eyes were full of vigilance, Cheng Yu twitched the corners of his stiff mouth, revealing a wry smile full of self-deprecation.
Qingzhou's strength is irreversible, but it is obviously impossible to deal with Wang Yu the same way he used to deal with Dong Zhuo.
Times have changed, and the alliance has become an impossible task. It's too late for each family to plot against each other. Who would be willing to leave their back to others with peace of mind?
Xuzhou originally came to protest, but after contacting Yuan Shu's envoy, he discovered a bigger crisis - Yuan Shu was not as powerful as Wang Yu, but his advantage was that he was shameless. As long as Yan Xiang successfully persuaded Qingzhou not to interfere,
The war between Xu and Huai is probably inevitable.
As for Jingzhou, Wang Yu, Liu Biao and others who were far away in Qingji were more worried about themselves.
The two sides are separated by a small half of Nanyang, and are already close at hand. If the eastern front is abandoned, Cao Jun will only have two directions to attack: the west and the south. Liu Biao has undoubtedly realized this. He sent people here this time, most likely to discuss with Qingzhou
Regarding alliance matters!
Making friends from far away and attacking at close quarters is an eternal law among princes. And sending an unknown young man here is obviously for the sake of face.
The journey of the protagonist's struggle for supremacy is full of thorns, but Wang Yu's status as the hegemon of the Central Plains has actually been achieved. Where to go next makes people feel confused.
Cheng Yu walked out of the camp gate numbly, with thoughts in his heart.
The only person he could rely on now seemed to be Liu Yu. Thinking of this, Cheng Yu looked around to see if Liu Yu was still there and if he could contact him first.
The terrain around the plain was flat and the field of view was extremely wide. Cheng Yu quickly found his target. Liu Yu's iconic ox cart was parked next to a hill. It must have been the Shengshan Mountain mentioned by Wang Yu.
He didn't know what was strange about that mountain. Although he was far away, he still vaguely heard the noise. Cheng Yu was confused, thought about it, whispered to his followers, and then walked quickly in the direction of Liu Yu.
"Isn't there dangerous terrain near Gaotang?" Cheng Yu had never been to Gaotang, but he knew very well about the large-scale battle that was the end of the Hebei War. It was precisely because there was no danger to defend that Yuan Shao's army
Once it collapses, it becomes uncontrollable.
The attendant and guide respectfully replied: "Yes, except for Mingshi Mountain, which is over ten feet high, there are very few hills. This Victory Mountain didn't come out of nowhere. Maybe it was built artificially over there in Qingzhou?"
"Pilged up?" Cheng Yu was very surprised. To show off his martial arts, he built a mountain? What is the rule? I only heard that some people used heads to pile up the capital to scare the enemy. How could anyone build a mountain... Huh? No,
This is not a mountain, but...
Before Cheng Yu could finish his thoughts, he heard a series of "plop" sounds beside him. Several of his followers fell to the ground one after another. He pointed at the Victory Mountain with trembling fingers. His face was pale and his lips were trembling up and down. He vomited out after a long while while trembling.
A few words.
"People, people, are heads!"
Cheng Yu was taken aback. When he looked at it intently, his whole body became cold, his legs went weak, and he almost followed in the footsteps of his followers.
What's wrong with human heads? This Victory Mountain is made up of tens of thousands of human heads!
When you get closer, you can even see the expressions on the heads of people! The expressions are different, but on each head of the person, there is a pair of wide eyes! In the empty eyes, you can also see fear and sorrow, and the expressions on the face
They range from fierce to begging for mercy.
Standing in front of the mountain, facing the expressions of those who were about to die, and being stared at by countless pairs of empty eyes, even though Cheng Yu was well-informed and had excellent Qi cultivation skills, he could only barely hold on without falling.
However, his body was shaking involuntarily.
"Ugh..." Several of the followers who collapsed on the ground vomited wildly. After the war, it was initially determined that the guards sent by Cao Cao to Cheng Yu could be considered warriors, but Leng Ding was still stimulated when he saw this hellish scene.
Not light.
On the other side, Liu Yu's followers were crying and cursing.
The dead people have no direct relationship with Youzhou, but from the various features on the people's heads, it can be easily identified that the dead people are all prairie people! People in Youzhou, who are closely related to the grassland, inevitably feel a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, which is even more disturbing.
They were frightened and frightened.
"It's winter now, so it doesn't matter. In a few days, when the city construction work slows down, my Lord will order people to cover this Beijing temple with soil and build it into a semi-permanent landscape for future generations to pay homage to...
"
The only one who looked calm was Captain Li. He was smiling, like a professional tour guide of later generations, and was explaining the origin and significance of Desheng Mountain in great detail.
"Everyone, please see, the one on the top of the mountain is Yuan Shao's head. He colluded with the barbarians and invaded the Central Plains. He is the enemy of the entire China. Therefore, not only should he be the only non-barbarian in Jingguan, but also
A monument was erected at the foot of the mountain to commemorate his deeds."
As he spoke, Li Shiyi pointed to a stone tablet at the foot of the mountain. Everyone turned their heads blankly and saw two rows of large characters engraved on the stone tablet: "The Han Hussars killed all 20,000 Husbands and the traitor Yuan Shao here.
Serve as a warning! Anyone who offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is!"
I don’t know what kind of writing the words on the stele were written with, but they were a soul-stirring blood-red color. Thinking of this huge Beijing view, an overwhelming murderous aura rushed towards my face.
Looking at Liu Yu's defeated face, the angry expressions of the Youzhou generals, and the smile on the face of Captain Li Shiyi, Cheng Yu suddenly had a question in his heart: Can Liu Yu really be counted on as an ally? He bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Hulu, do you really dare to confront Wang Yu, a terrifying butcher, for Liu Yu's sake?
He doesn't know the answer, only his heart is sinking. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
