Xu Huang sent the first letter by a courier, and the second letter was more urgent, using flying pigeons to deliver the letter. As a result, the two letters were rushed. Wang Yu had just gathered the generals to discuss the matter, and had not yet discussed it.
So, the second letter arrived.
"Oh, Gongming is indeed very efficient in his work." Wang Yu nodded, glanced at the letter casually, commented casually, and then handed the letter to everyone to read: "Let's all take a look."
The content of the letter was clear at a glance. After reading it, everyone had different expressions.
He opened his jaw and frowned, and said first: "My lord, General Xu should be right in observing the enemy. Since Guan Yu's army is not fake, even if Liu Bei sneaked through Pengcheng to Xiapi, he should have come here in a light vehicle. Then his
The purpose is nothing more than..."
Everyone present saw things very quickly. Only Xu Sheng was young and had relatively little experience. Only when he heard Zhang Jia's words did he suddenly realize: "He is trying to gather Cao Bao's remaining soldiers!"
"It's just as Wen Xiang said." Wang Yu looked at Xu Sheng, but he didn't mean to blame him.
In the battle at Maling, Xu Sheng was the most seriously injured among the generals in Qingzhou. He was very strong, but his martial arts skills were not perfect after all. In such a fierce battle, injuries were inevitable. Wang Yu was not too big against Xu Sheng in his previous life
Feeling, but after this battle, I also quite appreciate this straightforward young man.
He smiled and asked: "Wen Xiang, you might as well tell us how our army should deal with this matter?"
"This..." Xu Sheng didn't mean to be stage frightened, and pondered for a moment: "Should we ask General Wen Chang to go south as soon as possible? In addition, the news about the Que family army should also be blocked, at least not let them know that Liu Bei may come to reinforce them.
"
Wang Yu nodded noncommittally, looked around, and asked everyone: "What do you think?"
"My lord, if you want to capture Xia Pi, you can follow what the text says." Zhao Yun's answer was concise and to the point, going straight to the core of the problem. But Xu Sheng was a little confused. With the battle going so far, how could he let Xia Pi go?
Don’t want to take it?
"Even if we want to capture Pi, we shouldn't go to war in such a big way." Zhuge Liang had different opinions.
"The Que Xuan now is no longer the Que Xuan five days ago. If Liu Bei had arrived at that time and got in touch with Que Xuan, he would have to take strict precautions. But now, Que Xuan has long forgotten that he is at the end of his rope.
Now, what he is thinking about is not the present, but the future. If our army overreacts, it may irritate him, so how can we calm him down?"
"It is not a good opportunity for our army to enter Xiapi now. Xiapi is connected to the Surabaya River and extends in all directions. It is Xuzhou's most important enemy. Our army occupies the East China Sea, and only the enemies of Xiapi will suffer. If Xiapi is captured, all parties in Xuzhou will suffer.
I’m afraid the forces may be unable to contain themselves.”
Pang Tong expressed his opinion from a strategic perspective: "What's more, with the current situation, it is really difficult for my lord to spend more time in Xuzhou. If something happens in the north, and my lord falls into a battle group in Xuzhou, wouldn't it be difficult to take care of the beginning and the end? As Kong Ming said
It is said that Xuzhou is better kept quiet."
"Shi Yuan is very thoughtful." Wang Yu smiled happily.
Although Pang Tong in history was highly resourceful, he was a bit aggressive in his actions and did not understand the principles of protecting himself. As a result, he met a sinister figure like Liu Bei and was constrained by his plans, and finally died in Luofengpo.
Zhuge Liang knew how to protect himself wisely. Liu Bei retreated from Xinye. Guan Yu first went to Jiangxia to move troops. Halfway through, Zhuge Liang asked for orders to urge him. In fact, this was not necessary. Guan Yu just had a bad temper, and it was not that he didn't know his priorities. How could he use it?
Going to urge him? This way he just avoided the disastrous defeat at Changbanpo.
You know, Liu Bei was defeated miserably in that battle. Even Mi Zhu, his brother-in-law and logistics manager, was arrested for a time, and his wife and children were also trapped in the rebel army. It was only thanks to Zhao Yun that he escaped.
If Zhuge Liang had been there at that time, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things later.
Later, when Guan Zhang died and Liu Bei launched an army to attack Wu, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and other sensible people all tried to persuade him. Among them, Zhao Yun's words were the most powerful and also made Liu Bei the most unhappy. Zhuge Liang only gave up after a few words of advice and sighed.
: If Dharma, filial piety and uprightness are still there, I will definitely be able to persuade my lord.
In fact, what he said was nonsense.
Who is Liu Bei? He is a hero! Listening to the opinions of his ministers is just a gesture, and being arbitrary is the norm. He has lost his brother, lost face, and lost Jingzhou. He is in the hot seat. Don't speak righteously. Even if his own father comes, he can't persuade him.
Him.
Zhuge Liang didn't persuade him as hard as Zhao Yun. He just knew that something couldn't be done, so he simply said a few words and didn't get angry like Zhao Yun. Liu Bei later died in Baidi City. Before and after Tuogu, even an unrelated person like Ma Su
Zhuge Liang was briefed on the matter, but Zhao Yun, a distinguished veteran, was not mentioned.
You know, even if his previous achievements are not counted, Liu Bei was defeated so miserably in the Battle of Yiling, and in the end he relied on Zhao Yun to save his life. For such an old minister, he didn't mention it at all when he entrusted him. It was obviously because Zhao Yun had disobeyed him several times.
, which made him angry.
Although the current Pang Tong is still young and does not have the arrogant temperament of Feng Chu in history, he has the air of a general and a calm demeanor. In time, he will definitely be a pillar of Qingzhou.
"It is indeed not advisable to take down Pi, but I will stay in Xuzhou for a period of time to pacify the emperor." After thinking for a moment, Wang Yu gathered his thoughts and began to give instructions: "During this period, Junyi, your task is to reorganize the army.
Ma, organize and train the original subordinates and the recruited Xuzhou Army into an army. Wen Chang, Wen Xiang will help you."
"Here!" He opened his jaw and bowed to accept the order.
This arrangement was expected by everyone. In the Battle of Maling, Zhang Jaw's 3,000 soldiers and horses lost nearly 2,000, but they surrendered 4,000 Danyang soldiers, plus Tao Qian left Wang Yu
With a thousand Danyang soldiers and more than a thousand county soldiers and veterans, after reorganization, the size of his army will exceed 10,000.
There are still some shortcomings in conquering Xuzhou, but it is more than enough to defend the East China Sea. It is a top priority to get this force into combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
"Zilong, you go back to Gaotang." Wang Yu turned to Zhao Yun: "Tell Zijing and let him go to Puyang again. The focus this time is not on the generals of Bingzhou. Let him go to see Zhang Miao..." As he said
, he looked at Zhuge Liang again and asked: "Kong Ming, have you drafted the charter? If it is..."
Seeing Zhuge Liang's eyebrows raised, Wang Yu knew the answer and changed the subject: "Okay, I understand... Let Zi Jing invite him to come to Xuzhou and say that I have something important to discuss. In addition, let Yuan Hao show his strength.
, build the Lijin harbor as soon as possible, and pay more attention to the news from Ziyi. Also, when you come back, bring Yueying over, um, let Zizhong and Zhen'er come over too..."
Xuzhou is not fighting for the time being, and Zhao Yun is not of use for the time being. There are so many miscellaneous things, Wang Yu is not at ease asking others to pass the message, so he has to let Zhao Yun do the errands. Anyway, he is leading the cavalry, so it is just a long-distance training.
"Here!" The biggest advantage of Zhao Yun is actually not his martial arts and military skills, but his hard work and hard work. If it were Tai Shi Ci, he would not accept such an errand task. How could he agree so readily as Zhao Yun?
Wang Yu suddenly discovered that recently, everyone seems to like to use Taishi Ci as a negative example. Why is this?
"Shiyuan, you... I'll let you take over Xuzhou's espionage system first."
"Ah?" Pang Tong was startled. This was the job of his master Jia Xu.
"Wen He must be very pleased that my disciples can help share the worries." Wang Yu originally didn't want to encourage others, but as his territory expanded, more talents were needed. He couldn't help but work harder for those who could.
He patted his forehead and said with a flash of inspiration: "The situation in Xuzhou is complicated. If we wait to deal with everything until we contact Gaotang, we really can't afford to delay it. You handle it here first, and then send a report to Wen He after it's done.
, it’s enough to form a rule.”
"yes……"
"Your main responsibility recently is to cooperate with Kong Ming and publicize the agreement reached between our army and Que Xuan... You know how to create rumors, right? Don't understand? It doesn't matter, I'll teach you, it's very simple..."
Wang Yuchunchun is good at tempting: "The key is to make the content have a story, twists and turns, and vividness. The details do not need to be described. The key points must leave suspense and room for imagination...such as the incident of Que Xuan
, you can do this..."
Opening his jaw, Zhao Yun listened with enthusiasm. This was the first time he heard about the knowledge of spreading rumors. How could he not listen carefully? Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes. He finally understood why Wang Yu's reputation among the people was so good.
Can the rumormongers he taught be bad? No, judging from the way Shi Yuan's eyes were shining, it was obvious that he had also been taught bad things.
After enjoying the sense of accomplishment of teaching the masters and being looked at with admiration by the masters, Wang Yu turned to Zhuge Liang with a smile. The latter did not wait for him to speak and said on his own: "I will keep an eye on Que Xuan."
Yes, it must be as you wish, my lord, and let him become..."
"There is no rush in this matter, take your time." Wang Yu found that under his influence, Pang Tong became calmer, while Zhuge Liang's character became more irritable. It seems that this is the sequelae of pulling the seedlings to encourage growth.
"Tao Gong left like that and didn't leave me enough manpower. Now that the spring plowing is over, the government affairs in the East China Sea are also complicated." Wang Yu said with a sad face. Zhuge Liang felt the momentum after hearing a few words.
No, the next moment, Wang Yu changed the topic and said with a smile: "Otherwise, Kong Ming, will you come and practice your skills too?"
"..." Zhuge Liang was speechless and raised his finger to point at his nose. What he meant was: I am only thirteen, child labor is allowed, but to exploit child labor to this extent, is it a bit too much?
"Do you mean... that you are doing your job?" Wang Yu turned his head and thought, then clapped his hands, nodded, and said to himself: "Well, those who are capable work hard, and those who have ambitions do not age. As it is, this matter
That’s it. Okay, that’s it for today, everyone can go about their business.”
Zhuge Liang was so angry that he stamped his feet and asked loudly: "Everyone is busy, what are you doing, my lord?"
Wang Yu nodded his head with his fingers and said with a leisurely smile: "Of course it is to outline the beautiful vision of the Han Dynasty."
Zhuge Liang's expression condensed, and then he suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice: "No, my lord, don't forget, there is another big thing, it is very important, and it must be done by you personally!" (To be continued.
