"Must we try to destroy it?" With a playful smile on his face, Wang Yu tapped his hand gently on the table, making a soft sound, and murmured to himself: "This matter is getting more and more...
It’s interesting.”
"It's indeed interesting." Jia Xu echoed from the side: "Dong Gongren is in Hanoi and his heart is in Cao Ying. It's just that I don't know when he got in touch with Cao Mengde. From this perspective alone, our army really can't
Take arbitrary actions against Hanoi, otherwise it will easily lead to a big war, and then the gains will outweigh the losses."
Wang Yu nodded, understanding Jia Xu's hint.
Historically, the alliance between Yuan and Cao existed in name only after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, which was the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty and Jian'an. The war between the two princes was about to break out. However, the Battle of Guandu only took place in the fifth year of Jian'an.
The relationship broke down five years before the fight broke out. Although the patience and restraint of both parties were amazing, Wang Yu absolutely couldn't believe it if there wasn't a trigger.
This trigger is the ownership of Zhang Yang and Hanoi.
It is difficult to describe this place in Hanoi in just one or two sentences. There are mountains in the northwest, and there are many bandits in the mountains. The land is barren, and the people's life is very difficult. However, the areas in the south and east close to the Yellow River have rare plains and land.
Fertile and convenient for irrigation, even compared to wealthy places like Luoyang and Wei County, it is no worse.
It is this fertile land that has nurtured many famous families in Hanoi.
Regardless of these factors such as economy and people's livelihood, Hanoi is still a strategic location connecting the north and the south.
Dong Zhuo was relatively frustrated in this life, but in history, he was still very majestic when faced with the siege of Guandong heroes. He won many battles, defeating Wang Kuang in Hanoi, Cao Cao in Xingyang, and Sun Jian in Liang County.
It was an almost complete victory. But he still did not dare to stay in Luoyang, so he could only set a fire in panic and ran to Guanzhong.
The reason is simply that the strategic situation is too poor. Although he has won many battles, the situation of being besieged has never been changed, especially the coalition forces of Yuan Shao and Han Fu who stationed troops in Hanoi. For Dong Zhuo, although there has never been an actual battle between the two sides,
Conflict, but as long as Yuan and Han's army is stationed in Hanoi, there will always be a sharp sword hanging over his head!
For the princes who aspire to the world, Hanoi is the main road connecting Hebei and the Central Plains. Whoever occupies this place can take the initiative strategically.
The historical Battle of Guandu took place in the Yanjin and Baima areas precisely because Yuan Shao sent troops not only to attack Yanzhou, but also to suppress Hanoi. The direct trigger of this battle was also related to Hanoi.
If Cao Cao hadn't plotted against Zhang Yang and annexed Hanoi first, Yuan Shao might not have ignored Ju Sue and Tian Feng's dissuasion and went his own way, launching the war that shocked the world. With Hanoi as a stronghold, Cao Cao could peek into Ye City at any time, which made Yuan Shao not nervous.
.
Wang Yu knew that this was the purpose of Jia Xu's reminder.
The current situation in Hanoi is very delicate. Zhang Yang is nominally the boss. But in fact, there are countless forces involved in this.
Wang Yu himself relied on his business here two years ago and has a very broad base among ordinary people and county soldiers. Even Zhang Yang's so-called secret discussion only appeared in Wang Yu's account two days later.
's desk.
If Wang Yu wants to march into Hanoi, except for a few big cities, he will probably have to be invincible along the way. Even in those big cities and towns, once Wang Yu's troops come to the city, there must be a lot of people who plan to open the gates for him.
Then there are celebrities such as Cao Cao and Dong Zhao. They all work for Zhang Yang on the surface, but in fact they have secretly colluded with Cao Cao. Most of the powerful people in Hanoi hate Wang Yu and his son to the core, although some of the most influential ones have already avoided trouble.
They have moved to other places, but their potential power is not trivial.
Intelligence showed that many Hanoi and Yingchuan families, including the Sima family, gathered in Yingchuan, Cao Cao's base camp, after leaving Wei County. It can be seen that even without Dong Zhao's help, Cao Cao's potential power in Hanoi cannot be ignored.
.
In addition, Yuan Shao also has some remaining forces here, which will be influenced by high officials and Yuan Tan. Coupled with Yu Du and Sui Gu's Black Mountain Army, the forces of all parties in Hanoi can be described as intertwined, making it a small Warring States Period. The most interesting thing
Yes, even Dong Zhuo had a hand in Hanoi. The nominal Mu Hushou of Jizhou was the paw that Fatty Dong stretched out.
Kong Rong knew nothing about the confrontation between Wang Yu and Jia Xu, and he apologized in fear: "Rong's actions are not secret, please forgive me, my lord." The news from Hanoi arrived almost at the same time as him, and he saw something.
Confidential matters were about to become full of obstacles, how could he not be nervous?
"What do you want me to do?" Wang Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although Marquis Lu Wen is a hero, his subordinates are not careful after all. Then the relationship between Wei Xu and Mrs. Yan has taken so many twists and turns that even Wen He is not there.
If the information is found out and leaked, how can it be blamed on you? Besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Isn't it a bad thing?" Kong Rong was stunned. From a one-sided relationship to a situation known to the world, there are still people who want to sabotage it, and there may even be a group of competitors. How could this not be a bad thing?
"Wen Ju, think about it, how did Marquis Wen reply to you?"
Kong Rong subconsciously replied: "He said he wanted to think about it, and he also said he wanted to ask the lady what she meant..." As he said, his heart suddenly moved, he looked up at Wang Yu, and asked in surprise: "What do you mean?
, Isn’t he being perfunctory? But he is serious?”
"Absolutely." Wang Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have dealt with Marquis Lu Wen several times. He is very particular about what he says and does. When he said he wanted to consider it, he really wanted to think about it. He said he wanted to ask the person
What the lady means, you must ask. Since that lady has the right to speak, things are actually not very good..."
Kong Rong asked in confusion: "My lord, what do you mean..."
"Sigh." Wang Yu sighed, with a rather embarrassed look on his face, and said with a spread of his hands: "Wen He has inquired about it in detail. I heard that the young lady has a very bad impression of me. If it is Marquis Wen who makes the decision, it will be decided in one word.
It's easy to handle, but if you want to ask this lady what she means, things may become very difficult."
When Kong Rong was on his mission, his attention was focused on Lu Bu and the generals in Bingzhou. He didn't pay much attention to the protagonist who was seeking marriage. When he heard this, he was shocked. He turned to Jia Xu and asked, "Brother Wenhe.
Why is this?"
"Who knows?" Jia Xu spread her hands helplessly.
"As the saying goes: A daughter's heart is like a needle in the sea, let alone a little girl of this age? Let alone the Miss Lu family whom I have never met. Even if it is my niece who I see every day, I can't figure out who she is all day long.
What are you thinking about? The relationship between my lord and Lu Bu is not ordinary. Unless the young lady says it herself, who knows where my lord hated her?"
"..." Kong Rong looked at Wang Yu and then at Jia Xu, very speechless. He couldn't understand at all how a serious military and national event suddenly got involved with a fourteen-year-old little girl? But
Thinking about it seriously, he found that it was really difficult to get around this hurdle.
He looked at Wang Yu with a wry smile: "That's why you said it's a good thing for the news to leak out?"
"Probably." Wang Yu nodded noncommittally.
"As far as I know, a girl of this age and who grew up in that kind of environment may have a weird temperament. If Marquis Wen agrees happily and everything goes well and there are no setbacks, she will probably refuse to comply.
Come up with some tricks to stir things up. With Marquis Wen’s doting on him and Hou Cheng’s group of people adding fuel to the flames, maybe this matter will really turn into a scandal. But..."
He changed the topic and said with a smile: "If there are too many troublemakers, especially if the troublemakers adopt the most practical and effective method, then things will become very interesting. After a lot of messy things, she is very happy
It may turn from disgust to curiosity. But it will be a self-defeating thing.”
"..." Kong Rong was confused after hearing this. He had no idea what theoretical basis Wang Yu had for what he said. When he looked at Jia Xu, the latter also shrugged and gave a look of helplessness and confusion.
After thinking about it, Kong Rong was quickly relieved when he thought of Wang Yu's romantic reputation and his strange way of managing the back house. Extraordinary people always do extraordinary things. The Lord has great supernatural powers, and maybe he really has some skills in nurturing women.
A special experience, right?
How did he know that what Wang Yu said was completely based on those soap operas of later generations. In a large part of the plot, the male and female protagonists would have known each other since they were teenagers. At first, they always looked at each other.
After showing up and causing a lot of messy things, the two changed from enemies to lovers.
Moreover, although there is no detailed description in the novel, Wang Yu also has some interesting speculations about Lu Bu's daughter.
Historically, Lu Bu tried to form an alliance with Yuan Shu when the situation was critical. The first time, he was thwarted by Chen Deng and his son. The second time, he carried his daughter on his back to break out, but failed to break out.
Wang Yu thinks this latter detail is very interesting and thought-provoking.
He had no way of delving into the history, but based on what he knew and saw so far, Miss Lu had been practicing martial arts since she was a child. When Lu Bu broke out of the encirclement, he tied his daughter behind his back.
It stands to reason that since Miss Lu has martial arts skills, even if she is not very good, she does not have to let her father carry her on her back. As a result, Lu Bu cannot exert his full strength and the breakout fails. She puts on the armor herself and sits on Lu Bu's back.
Isn’t it possible to do it after death?
Wang Yu believed that Lu Bu might have tied his daughter behind him not just for safety reasons, but out of necessity. If not, he could not guarantee that his daughter would not jump off the horse and escape halfway.
Therefore, the key to the success of this marriage may not be Lu Bu, but someone else.
Instead of persuading and persuading, it's better to bring in some helpers and cause some mess.
"Actually, the main benefit of the news being revealed is that it forces Lu Bu to make a choice in advance and speed up the merger process. Of course, there is also the danger that he will choose other forces and betray us, but when it comes to advance preparations and previous interactions, I
Fang has the absolute upper hand."
Seeing that Kong Rong was confused, Jia Xu simply explained in detail. After all, Kong Rong was an envoy. In the next period of time, he would have frequent contact with Lu Bu.
Thoughts, he agreed with Wang Yu's point of view and considered it from another perspective.
"Wen He's words make sense." Although Kong Rong was not good at strategy, Jia Xu's explanation was much easier to understand than Wang Yu's theory, and he understood it after thinking about it.
"Even if things are not harmonious, it's not a big deal. Our army will have to attack Luoyang sooner or later. Instead of dealing with the opponent endlessly with a glimmer of hope, which leads to strategic constraints, it is better to find out once and for all whether it is the enemy or not.
Friends. If we are enemies, we fight; if we are friends, we help."
After all, Lu Bu's situation is different from Gongsun Zan's.
Using a gentle policy to deal with Gongsun Zan, even if Hebei is pacified, is no better than having to annex Gongsun's army. Anyway, there are many threats on the northern grasslands, so it is a very good choice to let Gongsun Zan continue his business and block the threats from the north. Wait until Wang Yu pacifies
After leaving the Central Plains, Gongsun Zan had no other choice.
Therefore, Wang Yu was not anxious at all about Gongsun Zan, and only had a subtle idea.
There is not so much room for Lu Bu's problem. Hanoi and Luoyang play too great a strategic role. Although they will not take action in the next two years, as long as the Qingzhou Army completes its rest and reorganization, the first target will be here.
How can I have time to be ambiguous with Lu Bu all the time?
"I understand." Kong Rong responded solemnly. He knew that the mission of seeking marriage, which originally had a hint of romance, had now become enveloped in a strong aura of fighting and iron horses.
In troubled times, there is no room for tenderness. (To be continued...)
