Cheng Yu thought well. After seeing the military might of the Qingzhou Army and seeing Yan Xiang, Chen Gui indeed shifted his focus.
As soon as Cheng Yu left, the two men couldn't wait to enter the Chinese army's tent. In front of Wang Yu, they accused each other and said that Wang Yu would be responsible for justice. The focus of their dispute was the ownership of Peng Cheng.
"Mr. Han Yu, I respect your family background and reputation, so I treat you with courtesy. You must return the favor and show some sincerity. On that day, Cao soldiers invaded the territory outside Xuzhou, Xue Li, Zuo Rong and the Taishan bandits from Langya were inside.
They are also watching with eager eyes, facing internal and external troubles, and at this time of crisis. Who can solve the crisis in Xuzhou? It is my lord!"
Yan Xiang asked loudly and indignantly: "We, the Huainan Army, sent troops to the north to capture Pengcheng from Xi Zhicai and Cao Chun! Is our army sending troops and food just to thank Tao Gong? Now Xuzhou has turned from danger to safety.
, but you just talk in vain and come to ask for it, how can there be such a truth in the world? How can it be so, how can it be so!"
Chen Gui was not an ordinary person. Of course he would not be shocked by Yan Xiang's loud shouts. He argued with reason: "Master Yan, Qing, Xu, and Huainan belong to the alliance. It is their duty to help each other. How can it be wrong?"
If a family sends troops to help in the war, it must cede land to compensate each other? If this is the case, then wouldn’t the borders of each family be in vain? How is it different from the Guandong Alliance led by Yuan Shao back then when allies embezzled each other? "
"If we belong to an alliance, we should just watch and help each other? If we send troops to rescue each other, it will be in vain?" Yan Xiang sneered again and again: "According to Mr. Han Yu's principles, everyone only thinks about others and just gives without expecting anything in return. This troubled world has ended long ago.
No, no. It should be said that it will never turn into troubled times at all! Is there such a person in the world as the gentleman mentioned?"
If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a warm world? This classmate Yan Xiang is really good at talking. No wonder Yuan Shu thinks so highly of him. Wang Yu is funny, I don’t know if there was such a person in the Han Dynasty
, but there did exist in later generations, his name was Lei Feng.
Yan Xiang didn't know what Wang Yu was snickering about. He just looked aggrieved and said loudly: "On that day, the four princes formed an alliance in Luoyang and promised to attack the unjust people Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. As a result, the Youzhou and Qingzhou families fought against each other in Hebei.
To resist Yuan Shao, our army fought hard against Cao Cao's thieves. However, Xuzhou has always stayed out of the fight. Not only did it not have any soldiers to help, it even refused to leave the country with food. Can this be considered an ally?"
Chen Gui's face flashed with green light, and he was obviously very angry. However, it was difficult for him to get angry in front of Wang Yu, so he could only say: "The situation here is quite complicated. But it is difficult to describe it in one word...
…”
"What's so hard to explain?"
The momentum of Yan Xiang became more and more powerful. He said loudly: "Tao Gong is indeed a kind and kind elder, but all the scholars in Xuzhou have selfish motives! That's why they allowed Zang Ba to attack Mount Tai and attack Xue Li."
Not only did Zuo Rong not intend to kill him quickly, but he secretly provided all kinds of support! Who doesn't know that the Chen family in Guangling is well-known and important in the local area? If it weren't for the acquiescence of his husband, after Xue Li escaped, then Zuo Rong would not be able to stand in Xiapi.
, is there any reason to occupy Guangling?"
"Nonsense! Yan Xiang. You are slandering others. You, do you have any evidence? If you don't make your words clear today, I, I, how can I tolerate you!" Chen Gui jumped to his feet and cursed. This crime is really too big. He
It is absolutely unacceptable to acquiesce, not to mention that he was indeed unjust in this matter.
You must know that when Zuo Rong arrived in Guangling, he killed Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, who was related to the Chen family. Originally, Chen Gui really planned to use Zuo Rong's help to leave a way out for himself in Guangling, just in case Xuzhou
If nothing could be done, he would return to his hometown to settle down.
But Zuo Rong is completely a mad dog. Zhao Yu has clearly made his intention to take him in, and there is nothing imprudent in his etiquette. Who would have thought that Zuo Rong still had evil thoughts and actually attacked and killed Zhao Yu overnight?
, occupied Guangling.
In a sense, the wily Chen Gui shot himself in the foot this time and experienced what it means to be in troubled times!
It was precisely because of this that he discovered that Wang Yu had always been very gentle to Xuzhou. Compared to Qingzhou's Hussars, who was Zuo Rong? How dare he turn his back on others?
"A certain person is the chief registrar of the Hou General's Mansion, and is not the executioner of Xuzhou. He comes to me to ask for evidence. Isn't that the opposite? Even if we don't mention this, our army fought hard with Cao Cao last year and fell into his treacherous scheme. We were defeated again and again.
When I was defeated and retreated to Qiaojun, I also asked Xuzhou for help. Do you have soldiers in Xuzhou to help you?"
"That's not the reason for your bloody mouth!"
Both of them ignored their manners and manners, pointing at each other's noses and yelling curses, which made all the generals in Qingzhou stunned.
The allies who have turned against each other are indeed more terrifying than their enemies. When the lord originally said that something might happen in Xuzhou, everyone still had some doubts. Now, looking at it, even if there is news tomorrow that the two families are at war, it is nothing new.
It's a matter.
Wang Yu didn't just watch the fun, he felt something was wrong. It was expected that the two families would fall out, but the fall out was too fast. Especially Yan Xiang's accusations against Chen Gui and the crimes he accused the other party of.
Eighty percent of it is true, but the problem is that conspiracies and other things can never be seen in the light. If they are exposed to the light, it will lead to life and death!
No matter how bad Yuan Shu's performance is, he has to take it step by step, right? But it's obvious that what he wants now is not just Pengcheng, but the whole of Xuzhou! That's why Yan Xiangcai showed no mercy to Chen Gui and directly poked his wounds.
"Lord..." While he was thinking, Jia Xu's voice came from behind.
"How?" Wang Yu secretly thought, just in time, and asked sideways.
"Zhou Yu has already taken action!" Jia Xu's voice was very soft, but his words were full of weight, like a big stone falling into the water, causing huge waves in Wang Yu's heart.
Yes, this is the only answer!
Although the conflict between Xuzhou and Huainan is difficult to mediate, there is still no problem in delaying it to a certain extent. But the two people arrived at the same time, and the attitudes shown by Yan Xiang and Chen Gui all indicate that the conflict between the two parties will be resolved in advance.
intensify.
Only when people like Zhou Yu did something, the conflict between the two families would suddenly become so intense.
"Mr. Han Yu, Chief Yan, please silence your voice for now. Please listen to what I have to say!" Wang Yu shouted coldly.
Wang Yu's majesty was still very high, and the quarrel stopped abruptly after he said one word. Yan and Chen glared at each other, both of them looking unwilling to let it go, but they closed their mouths.
"Excuse me, Mr. Yan, if your army wants to capture Pengcheng, who is the prime minister of your choice?" Wang Yu's question makes sense. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han court decentralized military power, and this led to the establishment of local separatist regimes.
The situation. It was Sun Ce who previously defended Pengcheng, and he had actually occupied it. If Yuan Shu had no other ideas, Sun Ce would have to be the prime minister.
"This..." Yan Xiang appeared rather hesitant and looked at Wang Yu and then at Chen Gui, obviously hesitant.
"I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings here. Master Yan should have said it clearly." Jia Xu intervened at the right time.
Under Wang Yu's gaze, Yan Xiang gave in and whispered a name: "It's Ji Ling."
Wang Yu and Jia Xu looked at each other, and they saw the same look in the latter's eyes. Chen Gui, who was sitting in the tent, shouted loudly and sadly: "The Huainan Army has obviously been planning for a long time to devour Xuzhou. Wang Junhou, you want to
Make decisions for the millions of people in Xuzhou!"
As the number one general under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling commanded the most elite unit of Yuan Shu's army, which was comparable to Yuan Shao's Euphorbias and had always been used as personal guards. Ji Ling's appointment as Pengcheng Prime Minister undoubtedly showed that Yuan Shu intended to use the main force
Deployed to Pengcheng.
Now that Cao Cao has restrained his troops and Qingzhou is gaining momentum, is there any need to explain Yuan Shu's purpose?
"Mr. Han Yu, be patient for a moment. Wait until I finish asking questions. Everything will come to light naturally." Wang Yu's expression became more solemn.
The final decisive battle in the plains took place on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month last year. It was less than a month ago. Considering the distance from Huainan to Gaotang, I received the news. It should be around the New Year. Yan Xiang left for the north, which should be ten days
Before.
In other words, Yuan Shu, who had always had little decisiveness, actually made the decision to attack Xuzhou in about five days, formulated relevant plans, and even started to adjust his troops and subordinates.
This is obviously not normal.
Wang Yu looked at Yan Xiang and said seriously: "Master Yan, I will ask and you will answer. You only need to answer yes or no. There is nothing to avoid, right?"
"Yes, yes..." Yan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Yu's power was too terrifying. If he kept pressing, he couldn't guarantee that he could keep the secret to the end. But if Wang Yu had already guessed and just wanted to verify it, then
It will be much easier, and it will be easier to do business when I go back.
"Did Sun Ce ask for orders on his own and be willing to abandon Pengcheng and contribute to the road attack on Xuzhou? Externally, he claimed that he was at odds with the road and had become independent. After leaving Pengcheng, his marching route must have been through Xiapi and directly to Guangling? The road only needed to provide
Give him enough food, grass and equipment, and then he can take over all the way and capture Pengcheng, Xiapi, and even Guangling without spending a single soldier?"
Yan Xiang and Chen Gui raised their heads in unison and looked at Wang Yu with horrified looks in their eyes. There was no need to answer, Wang Yu already knew the answer.
He shook his head and gave Jia Xu a look. The latter understood and asked Chen Gui: "Mr. Han Yu, did Sun Ce also send an envoy to Xuzhou to find Mr. and some other people and express their willingness to return Pengcheng and attack Zuo Rong?"
, just ask Xuzhou to supply grain, grass, weapons, and ships, and lend him a road?"
Yan and Chen, who were like fighting cocks, were completely dumbfounded.
These two people are both very intelligent people, and even though they are talking about this, why don't they understand that both sides have fallen into a trap?
Zhou Yu took a mere Pengcheng and tried to exploit both sides, prescribing the right medicine and encircling Huainan and Xuzhou. With the grain and fodder lent by both sides, Sun Ce could let the Xuzhou and Huainan families fight in Xuzhou while he went all the way south.
We drove to the north bank of the Yangtze River, boarded a boat lent by Xuzhou, and headed directly to the east of the Yangtze River.
Afterwards, even if the two families came to their senses, they couldn't stop. After all, Yuan Shu had already coveted Xuzhou; Pengcheng, Xiapi and Guangling already comprised more than half of Xuzhou. No matter how good a man Tao Qian was, he couldn't give up easily.
The logic doesn't make sense, so I can only speak with swords.
Zhou Yu's plan was really terrifying, and what was even more terrifying was that Wang Yu, thousands of miles away, casually revealed the entire plan based on only a few bits of information revealed during the quarrel between the two!
Two ghost-like people! Yan and Chen were extremely shocked. (To be continued...)
