With the internal worries eliminated, Xu Shu suddenly became busy. [This article comes from]
The plan to attack Guo Taijun can only be formulated after Pan Zhang has arranged it and Ma Zhong has brought back the news. However, before that, there is a lot of work to be done.
Xu Shu can rest assured that Han Xian is in charge of the organization and scheduling, but he has to take care of other things by himself.
The first is to appease people's hearts. During the previous commotion, Baibo's soldiers and civilians mistakenly thought that Wang Yu was here in person. After knowing the truth, they were inevitably depressed. Xu Shu had the intention of pretending to be someone else. When Wang Yu conquered cities and territories in Hedong, it was rare that he did not charge into battle.
Too many people have seen him pretending to be a ghost at the altar.
Of course Xu Shu would not be stumped like this. The troops in the Yellow Turban series are very difficult to command but also very simple. The key is whether they can understand the tricks. They are very good at pretending to be gods and ghosts. Xu Shu himself is not good at it, but he brought
A very helpful assistant.
After Xu Shu was given the opportunity, Xu Tu was overjoyed and clapped his chest to express that the matter would be taken care of by him.
The matter of appeasing people was left to a professional magician, and Xu Shu gave Zhao Liu another task, asking him to spread rumors in the Wenxi area.
Mrs. Guo imposed excessive taxes on Wenxi, but did not implement military control or anything like that. He was not good at this aspect. Many people were robbed and damaged in Wenxi City, and Zhao Liu had a wide range of people, so he could take advantage of the opportunity.
Guan Hai had nothing to do, so Xu Shu simply sent him to train with Li Le and Hu Cai. These three guys are all characters with more muscles than brains, and they all have Yellow Turban backgrounds, so they get along very well. To be precise,
They hit it off immediately and had the same spirit. In just half a day, these three guys went to sworn brothers and became Jinlan brothers.
For Xu Shu, this was an unexpected surprise. Seeing that everything went well, he started busy with his tasks after making some preparations. One of his most important tasks was to meet with the envoys of the Xiliang Army to persuade them to surrender.
The person in charge of diplomacy in Dong Zhuo's army was Li Su, and he was responsible for convincing Lu Bu to surrender. But his life was not good in both lives. In his previous life, he was killed by Lu Bu during the Chang'an Rebellion. In this life, he was directly in Luoyang.
After bumping into Wang Yu, his death was even simpler.
This time, the envoy sent by Li Jue was his nephew Hu Feng.
Compared with Li Su, Hu Feng was mediocre in terms of diplomacy. He had no actual achievements and no experience. After coming to Anyi, he only repeated a few threats. Bai Bojun was more inclined to get closer to Guo Tai and with his clumsy
Diplomatic skills are also relevant.
However, Li Jue didn't expect much from his nephew. The Xiliang army is not short of soldiers. In Xiliang, a chaotic place, there are many ruthless people who will kill people with swords just for a piece of cake or a bowl of soup. Such people are recruited as soldiers.
.Isn’t it much better than the Baibo Army who was born as a farmer?
The battle had been going on for so long, and although the Xiliang Army had the upper hand, they suffered considerable losses due to the desperate resistance of the Baibo Army. Even if the Baibo Army collectively laid down their weapons and surrendered, Li Jue had no guarantee that he would be able to restrain his men.
A massacre was inevitable.
There is no way, these warriors are a mixture of Hu and Han, they have such clear advantages and disadvantages.
Therefore, for Li Jue, it is good to be able to recruit Bai Bo to surrender. It doesn't matter if he cannot recruit Bai Bo to surrender. As long as he gives the opponent some hope, let them not despair too quickly and join forces with Guo Tai.
Once Baibo reunited, they had depth, and it was not difficult for the Xiliang army to defeat them. However, once they were pushed back to the Baibo Valley in Linfen, the battle would not be resolved quickly.
There are various signs that the scholar-bureaucrats in Chang'an are secretly planning something. If the past events in Luoyang happen again, even if they can be pacified, it will be very painful.
Li Jue's information is much better than Bai Bo's. He knows the outcome of the Hebei War, and also knows what Qingzhou's surge in power means to all the princes in the world. Whether Bai Bo can be quickly quelled, all in Hedong, in a sense, has
He became the winner of the Xiliang army on the chessboard for world hegemony! He had to put more thought into it.
Therefore, he gave up Xie County and took Fenyin. While reducing the pressure on Bai Bo, he also vaguely threatened Wenxi's Mrs. Guo. Once the opponent relaxed a little, he would be like a poisonous snake, attacking Wenxi with one blow and completely completing the encirclement.
In this case, Hu Feng's existence does not depend on whether he can achieve diplomatic results, but is purely for Mrs. Guo to see.
Although Bai Bo's four generals were not aware of Li Jue's intentions, no one took Hu Feng seriously. If they had not left a way out, they would have killed or driven him away.
Hearing that Xu Shu was going to see this man, Yang Feng, who was in charge of external affairs, just shook his head: "General Yuan Zhi, talking to this man is a waste of time. Even if you really have a plan, you still expect him to make your intentions clear.
Shall I convey Chu's message to Li Jue? Although Li Jue's character is not good, he is experienced in military affairs and resourceful. He cannot face him face to face. It is really difficult to let him fall into the trap."
Xu Shu smiled slightly: "No matter how clumsy he is, he can't speak, right? As long as he can speak, that's all. I don't want him to do anything, I just want him to pass a message to Li Jue."
"Pass...what words?" Yang Feng was confused.
Xu Shu had explained in advance, and Yang Feng was aware of his plan. In this plan, the key to escaping the pursuit of the Xiliang army lies in whether the diplomacy with the other party can achieve results.
In Yang Feng's impression, diplomatic masters should all be eloquent people like Su Qin and Zhang Yi. Although Xu Shu's eloquence is also very good, he rarely quotes from scriptures and rarely makes long speeches. Instead, he likes to hit the point directly and use momentum.
Overwhelm your opponent.
You are no longer an excellent strategist. If you encounter an opponent who is not suitable as a negotiating opponent, can you complete such a difficult plan to stop the Xiliang Army?
Yang Feng felt very unsure.
"It's hard to say what message I'm going to send. Today I just want to show my identity and let him know who I am." Xu Shu smiled mysteriously and whispered a few words in Yang Feng's ear.
"This...isn't this possible?" After hearing only one or two sentences, Yang Feng's eyes widened in surprise.
Xu Shu warned him very seriously: "Brother Yang, please don't reveal your true identity later." After saying that, he put a smile on his shoulders, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed, and the original friendly and sunny atmosphere was much less.
, and at the same time a bit more domineering.
Yang Feng was dumbfounded and followed Xu Shu blankly, thinking to himself: If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to keep the information on his side secret, otherwise this might be a good idea.
"It's General Yang. If my general asked me to bring it to you, how do you think about it? I would like to advise you: A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. If your army persists like this, in addition to fighting more battles, it will only increase casualties.
What's the use? Although there are many heroes in the world, how many can compare with Dong Cheng? You still..."
As soon as he entered the door, Hu Feng had been notified and was welcomed out. Although he came out, his unruly look and extremely clichéd rhetoric all proved the inferiority of his diplomatic methods.
"The hero of the world? Haha..." Although he didn't have much confidence in Xu Shu's plan, Yang Feng cooperated well. He interrupted Hu Feng impatiently, then turned around, half-hunched over, and gave him a respectful greeting
Xu Shu saluted. When he turned around, the unruly look on his face was no worse than that of Hu Feng: "Captain Hu, look who this is?"
"..." Hu Feng has stayed in Anyi for two days. According to Li Jue's instructions, he only needs to stay for three days. No matter whether he succeeds in persuading him to surrender or not, it will be a great achievement. Since it doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not, he also
He's too lazy to put too much thought into it. Besides, he's not self-aware. How can he not know that he's not a strategist?
He had asked people for advice in advance, and the effect was very poor. Every time Yang Feng and others would just say a few words casually, and then leave in a hurry, neither refuting nor being heard. Today Yang Feng's speech
His behavior was really strange. Driven by curiosity, he looked at Xu Shu.
Isn't this just a hairy kid? He doesn't even have hair on his mouth? What's there to be afraid of...ah? No! Yang Feng is so respectful to this person. He is still a boy? Although this person has a delicate face, he looks very majestic.
The evil aura between his eyebrows is even more... He has never commanded thousands of troops and experienced life and death, how could he have such an evil aura?
Could it be that this person is...
Hu Feng's heart clenched suddenly, and a suffocating feeling hit him like a tide, causing him to unconsciously raise his hand and grab a few handfuls, like a drowning man struggling desperately.
"You have some eyesight," Yang Feng shouted coldly: "The great Han hussar general, the champion, is here! Even if your prime minister comes, he still has to see you. Hu Feng, you are a small cavalry captain, but you are still here!"
Do you want to be arrogant?"
"No, I don't dare." Hu Feng was still hesitant at first, but after hearing this, he was completely confused. He subconsciously bowed and saluted: "I will see General Wang at the end of the day. I don't know that the Lord is here. He is not welcome from afar. Is it still possible?"
I hope you will not blame me."
It's not that Hu Feng is too timid, it's actually that the psychological shadow left by Wang Yu on the Xiliang Army is too heavy. At that time, Wang Yu almost single-handedly drove the Xiliang Army out of Luoyang... Oh, no, he still left it when he left.
Money to buy the road. With such a mighty record, even if his uncle Li Jue's expression changed, how could Hu Feng have the courage to be stubborn?
"That's all." Xu Shu waved his hands casually, imitating Wang Yu's demeanor and posture.
The two of them are almost the same age, and both have commanded tens of thousands of armies. Their demeanor is somewhat similar. In addition, Xu Shu defected to the army that day, mainly because of his admiration for Wang Yu. When they get along with each other, they will subconsciously
Imitation. At this moment, the powerful actor Yang Feng is cooperating to scare a mere Hu Feng, but he still can't catch him?
"The Baibo Army is protected by this general. It is known all over the world. How dare defeated generals like Li Jue and Guo Si invade the territory? Today you will send a message on behalf of me, telling Li Jue to retreat quickly. Don't lose your life in vain."
.If not, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Let’s go now!” After that, he turned and left, as if looking at Hu Feng one more time would stain his eyes.
Hu Fengtou's face was dripping with sweat, and he responded in a panic: "Yes, yes, I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now!" It wasn't until Xu Shu had gone far that he raised his head with a scared look on his face and screamed in a low voice.
: "Mother! Why did we attack Hedong and provoke this evil spirit? Will this allow people to live?"
A follower beside him reminded: "General, Wang Qiaoqi should be in Hebei right now? This can't be fake, right?"
"What a lie!" Hu Feng responded with a slap, causing the attendant to stagger, and cursed: "Who else is it but that fierce god? Look at the murderous aura in him! Look at his demeanor! Apart from the Wang Peng family, who else is there? How many young people have such magnanimity? It has been a month since the war in Hebei. If he came here lightly, why would it be strange to appear in Hedong? He had sneaked into Luoyang alone once and broke into Heyin alone. Daying…what’s so strange about coming here again this time?”
"Yes, yes, that's what you said, General." The attendant covered his face and did not dare to continue reminding him.
"Even if it's a lie, my uncle can tell it. If he lets me go, how can I not go?" As if to defend himself, Hu Feng muttered a few more words, then got on his horse and left Anyi at high speed.
Hu Feng left, but Yang Feng, a powerful supporting actor, was full of doubts. He chased Xu Shu and asked: "General Yuan Zhi, Hu Feng is a fool. You can deceive him with this trick, but you can't deceive Li Jue, right?"
Xu Shu stopped, turned his head and thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, Li Jue is a famous general in Xiliang. His evaluation is far above that of Hu Zhen, Dong Yue, Niu Fu and the like, so he shouldn't be able to be deceived."
"Then..." Yang Feng was speechless.
Xu Shu smiled and comforted him casually: "You can't deceive me, but you can't deceive me. In short, brother Yang, don't worry."
