"Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River at night and made a surprise attack on Wancheng? Then he threatened Er Qiao and challenged me?" Three days later, Wang Yu received the news, and he couldn't even mention the surprise in his heart.
"What is he trying to do?" Wang Yu was very puzzled.
"No matter what he is doing!" Wei Yan raised his fists and said proudly: "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? Sun Ce is just a kid. There is no need to worry, my lord. The general is willing to go to Wancheng with his troops and horses to capture this officer alive."
The two ladies will escort you back safely!"
Wang Yu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Who said those two are my wives? You have never even met them, okay? Even if you really want to marry, you have to wait until you meet them, right?"
"Didn't you already have your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words?" Wei Yan blinked and scratched the back of his head, not knowing why: "Even if I'm not a madam, I can't let that boy Sun Ce be so arrogant, I have to give him a lesson.
That's it, my lord, Brother Zilong has been in the light all this way, and the last general has been in the dark. It's the last general's turn this time, right? It's just Sun Ce."
As he said that, he looked at Wang Yu expectantly, and the eagerness in his eyes made Zhao Yun, who was about to ask for a fight, embarrassed to speak.
"It's not that simple. Let me think about it..." Of course Wang Yu would not let Wei Yan kill him like this. Whether Wei Yan could beat Sun Ce was another matter. The key was that he was not sure if there was any trick behind it.
Sun Ce may be a straightforward person who doesn't like to use tactics, but Zhou Yu is one of the most famous wise men of this era. And according to the current situation, a war between Jiangdong and Qingzhou will not be beneficial to both sides.
Even if Sun Ce wins one and a half moves, it will not be of much help to his Jiangdong foundation, unless he plans to change his strategy, ignore the hidden worries at the rear, and compete for the Central Plains first.
This is obviously not a good idea. The greatest advantage of Jiangdong in this era is not its wealth, but its lack of worries. If Sun Ce came to fight for the Central Plains first, it would undoubtedly be a waste of Jiangdong's greatest advantage.
Besides, he couldn't fight for anything substantial.
After Liu Bei's defeat, Qingzhou's power increased greatly, but purely based on the situation in the Jianghuai area, Yuan Shu still had the upper hand. After Sun Ce defeated him, he just faced Yuan Shu directly. Although the latter was not very reliable, his strength was a show of strength.
There, Sun Ce wanted to annex Yuan Shu, which was not much easier than when he faced Yuan Shao in Hebei.
After thinking about it, it makes no sense for Sun Ce to go north. It seems that only the theory of old enemies can explain it.
Wang Yu also scratched his head. Sun Ce, this guy, just messed up on his own. He also dragged others to mess around. It was really a mess.
Seeing that he was in trouble, Zhao Yun also asked tentatively: "Master, if you don't return first, Yun and Wen Chang will go together to bring back the two ladies, Lu Shijun's family, and Mr. Zang..."
"Sigh. Zilong, you are wrong this time. The reason why our army can advance and retreat freely in enemy territory and win repeated battles is its mobility. Why does Yuan Shu only dare to use a small number of elite sneak attacks and dare not mobilize them?
The army is coming to attack? Isn't it because he is not sure of encirclement and is afraid of the general's revenge? If it is as you said, even if Wancheng is successfully conquered, dragging his family and bringing so many people with him, isn't that giving someone a handle?
?”
Wang Yu spread his hands and said: "Besides, I don't want to fight with Sun Ce. It's not that I'm afraid of him. It's just that there's really nothing to fight in this kind of battle..."
Fighting with Sun Ce is quite interesting, but the problem is that I am in a hurry. And there is no reward for winning. What is so good about fighting like this?
Wang Yu likes to take risks, but he is not a war maniac who will fight whenever there is a war. Of course there is no benefit to Sun Ce from defeating him, but there is also no benefit to him from defeating Sun Ce.
Sun Ce's foundation was in Jiangdong, and he had a group of relatives, friends, and staff to support him. When Sun Jian died, there was no one to take over. These relatives and friends insisted on maintaining the power of the Sun family until Sun Ce was able to take over.
This is how you accumulate and make progress.
Therefore, Wang Yu estimated that even if he solved Sun Ce, the Jiangdong Group would not collapse. Even if the Jiangdong Group collapsed, he would not be able to invade Jiangdong now.
Qingzhou's strategic focus is not here, so it is impossible to mobilize too many troops and resources. In addition, as I said, you are in a hurry.
The soldiers shed blood and died because of the conflict of spirits? Wang Yu is not that boring, but the problem is that he still has to take the move.
Although he has never even met Er Qiao, the second daughter has been identified as his candidate fiancée. The reason why he said candidate is because the Qiao family's original intention is to marry only one, but he asked for both, so
This made Lao Qiao very embarrassed, so he gritted his teeth and decided to buy one, get one free.
Not everyone can compete with Liu Bang. It is unbearable to have his wife snatched away - even if it is a wife he has never met. With the current mood of the Hussars, even if Wang Yu tolerates it, the civil servants and generals of Qingzhou will not be able to bear it.
I can't bear it either. How do you say this? The Lord will humiliate his subjects and die!
In addition, Lu Shijun and Zang Hong mentioned by Zhao Yun cannot be left alone.
Lu Kang himself was nothing. Wang Yu had never been interested in famous celebrities, but after asking about it, he found out that Lu Kang's direct grandson was actually named Lu Xun!
Well, he was Sun Ce's son-in-law, the famous Soochow general who later burned Yiling and died for Liu Bei.
Although Xiao Lu is only a ten-year-old child now, talent is talent. After going through Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Wang Yu has already fallen in love with the game of developing famous generals.
Talents have to be picked up from a young age, and Wang Yu is my favorite among the famous generals.
According to Wang Yu's original plan, if Liu Bei defended the city with all his strength, he would not go to see Er Qiao. He would temporarily set up a name and leave Yuan Shu as a hostage, so that Yuan Shu and Liu Bei could fight each other, and the war in Xuzhou could be temporarily brought to an end.
Before leaving, he personally went south with the purpose of persuading Lu Kang, or at worst, abducting Lu Xun back home.
I thought that if I had enough time, I could slowly persuade Lu Kang to abandon his official position and go to Qingzhou, but he was stabbed by Sun Ce... I can only say that it was God's will, although Sun Ce didn't know that he was robbing his wife and son-in-law.
, but the resentment has been generated for a long time, and eventually it became what it is now, and I became the victim.
Wang Yu was uncharacteristically low-spirited, but Zhuge Liang was as active as ever. Seeing Zhao Yun, Wei Yan was speechless. He stood up and reminded: "My lord, I think that Sun Ce's move may not be out of a battle of wills."
"How do you say that?" Wang Yu was slightly startled.
"Sun Ce regarded his lord as a powerful enemy, but his achievements were ten times that of his, so he somewhat despised him. He only thought that he had the spirit of a young man and did not look like a human lord, so he did not pay much attention to it. However, this time he raided Wancheng
, challenging the lord may seem reckless, but there seems to be a deep meaning in it..."
Wang Yu thought deeply, and after thinking about it, there seemed to be something wrong. He muttered: "Kong Ming, what do you mean..."
"Hiding the sky and crossing the sea, making noises in the east and attacking in the west!" Zhuge Liang said flatly.
As he spoke, he walked closer in a few steps and explained the map on Wang Yu's desk that was obtained from the Ling Emperor's treasury and included the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty: "The strategy of the Jiangdong Army has always been to pacify Jiangdong first.
If we go north to compete, the main obstacles currently being hindered are Yan Baihu from Wucheng and Xu Gong from Yuhang..."
Zhuge Liang found the location of Taihu Lake on the map and pointed it hard with his finger: "Xugong has no foundation in Wu County, so it is not difficult to break it. However, Wucheng is located on the bank of Zhenze, and the Yan family has lived here for generations. Zhenze is the
Relying on it, Yan Baihu is known as the overlord of Taihu Lake. Just like the Taishan thieves in Qingzhou and the giant wild thieves in Yanzhou, it is not difficult to defeat them but not easy to suppress them..."
The Juye thieves were headed by Li Dian's family. The wealthy gang in the Juye Ze area was similar to that of Liang Shanbo in later generations. Cao Cao was very resourceful. He directly appeased them and turned them into a help. Otherwise, it would not be easy to stabilize Yanzhou.
The Taishan bandits have always been an obstacle between Qingzhou and Xuzhou. If it weren't for Zang Ba's existence, the merger of the two states might have been earlier and wouldn't have caused so much trouble.
The nature of Yan Baihu is similar to that of these two roads. Taihu Lake is bigger than Juyeze. There are many islands in the lake, and the water network around the lake is also very dense. Hiding thousands of people in it would be like playing. Think about it.
Good luck in completely wiping out Yan Baihu. Maybe it will be solved in two or three years. But if you are not lucky, you may not succeed in three to five years.
Zhuge Liang's intention was very clear. Sun Ce's seemingly reckless behavior concealed his intention to lure the snake out of its hole.
Just like Wang Yu's process of annihilating the Taishan bandits, how can starting a battle in the opponent's lair compare to luring the enemy out and fighting on his own preset battlefield? If the arrangement is properly arranged and the opponent is completely annihilated in one battle, then Wu County will be pacified.
, just in the blink of an eye.
"Excellent!" Wang Yu slapped the table and praised: "What a Zhou Gongjin, he even dared to use me and his lord as chess pieces. If Kong Ming hadn't reminded me, I would have almost been deceived by him."
Zhuge Liang was slightly proud of himself. After all, Wang Yu always made perfect plans, and not many people could really remind him of this. Zhuge Liang was only fourteen years old now, so he would naturally feel a little complacent when his hard work paid off.
Of course, this little bit of pride could not make him get carried away. He bowed and said, "My lord, it's just that my heart is not here. I just want to think more."
"It's your achievement, it's yours. There's no need to be modest." Wang Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, since it's you who saw through Zhou Yu's plan, you might as well tell me how to break it? We can't let them.
You took advantage of it and you didn’t even say thank you, right?”
Before Zhuge Liang could answer, Wei Yan rushed to shout: "This is not simple yet. Send someone to inform Yan Baihu and let him not be fooled."
Wei Yan was not a foolhardy person, but he didn't pay much attention to Sun Ce crossing the river. Like Wang Yu, he didn't care about it. As a result, Zhuge Liang got the upper hand in this matter, so he was naturally very unhappy.
However, the countermeasures he casually called out were obviously not very reliable. There was no connection between the Qingzhou Army and Yan Baihu. It was hard to tell whether Leng Ding would believe him if he contacted him, and whether he would follow them if he believed them.
Persuasion and reminder are easier said than done. From the tense situation in Youzhou until now, Wang Yu has sent more than a dozen letters to Gongsun Zan, each of which explained the serious relationship in detail and advised Gongsun Zan to endure it for the time being.
Be patient and don't be aggressive.
But Gongsun Zan seemed to have made up his mind to settle accounts with Liu Yu, and all the letters were lost. Otherwise, why would Wang Yu be so anxious?
"It's hard to predict the consequences of using others. It's much more reliable to find a solution yourself." Wei Yan stopped himself. Zhuge Liang carefully chose his words and said slowly: "Since Sun Ce wants to settle the grudge with the lord, why don't the lord just do it?"
Just give him a quick victory and a quick victory."
"Oh?" Wang Yu rolled his eyes and became interested. He asked with great interest: "Then what do you think is a better arrangement? A one-on-one fight or a group fight?"
"Uh..." Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment before he realized what the group fight was referring to. He looked at Wang Yu, then at the eager Wei Yan and other generals, and knew how to answer: "In short, just don't send out a large army to fight, and then
Come as fast as you can!"
"Very good!" Wang Yu decided, "That's it, Kong Ming, I leave the challenge to you." (To be continued. If you like this work, (.) vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support
