Chapter Seven Six Seven Night Talks Ping Bei Policy
Juyong City has completely lost its former appearance. It is in tatters and is completely in ruins. Only the city walls stained black by fire and blood are still standing tenaciously. Apart from this, there are almost no upright buildings in the city.
The continuous offensive and defensive battles for many days were so fierce that most of the buildings in the city were demolished and made into rolling stones. There was originally a city tower in the south, but it was burned down when Liu Yu was about to die and committed suicide.
Even though Wang Yu had seen too many tragic scenes on the battlefield, he was still deeply shocked. Especially when he saw Gongsun Zan's ward, a temporary military tent, he felt like crying for the first time in a long time.
feeling.
There were not many people in the military tent, and Wang Yu could only recognize a single scripture. The two people busy next to the bed in the middle should be doctors. Several people dressed as generals were not familiar to Wang Yu.
After being attacked by a sneak attack, a breakout battle, and a series of battles, the generals of the Youzhou Army suffered a lot of casualties. Even Shan Gongsun Zan's right and left hand was covered with cuts and bruises at this moment. Wang Yu was very suspicious of how this king survived.
Apparently even the intestines came out!
Seeing Zou Dan leading Wang Yu in, everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him, even Shan Jing was no exception.
Wang Yu didn't mean to put on airs. Although Shan Jing had a lot of bad influence between the two armies, the other party was only loyal to Gongsun Zan from his own point of view. It looked like the other party was crumbling, as if he was going to die at any time.
, if you feel unhappy, you can let it go.
"General Shan, there is no need to get up. It's important to take care of yourself..." Wang Yu took two steps forward and stopped Shan Jing who was struggling to get up. Then he turned to the two doctors and asked, "Gentlemen, how is Brother Bogui's injury?"
"General Gongsun was too seriously injured and his physical strength was greatly exhausted. The most difficult thing is that after the battle, he seemed to have fulfilled his wish and his whole body relaxed... Wang Junhou, you are also a person who understands medical science. You should
You know, whether this person can break through the life-and-death barrier, medicine and stone are secondary. The key is whether he has the will to struggle and survive."
Wang Yu nodded slightly. What the doctor said was almost the same as what Zou Dan relayed. He just didn't know where the sentence "I know medical science" came from. However, the sentence "My wish is fulfilled" at the beginning made him a little concerned.
The wish is fulfilled, does it mean defeating the Xianbei army? If that is the case...
"Is it... Peng Ju's virtuous brother... You are really laughing at Brother Yu's appearance." Before he could finish the thought, Gongsun Zan's weak voice came from the couch. It was obvious that Wang Yu's arrival had woken him up.
.
"Brother, my little brother came late in rescuing me, which made me suffer so much. Many good brothers died in vain. My heart is..."
Gongsun Zan always spoke in a loud and powerful voice, like beating a war drum, with an impassioned rhythm. But at this moment, his voice was weak and low. Not only did he lack the power, but the momentum he had always had was gone.
.Looking at his face as golden as paper and covered in scars, Wang Yu felt a burst of sadness.
"No wonder you, no wonder you, I underestimated the enemy. I thought the Xianbei people did not gather so quickly, and there would not be so many people." Gongsun Zan's hand twitched slightly, as if he wanted to wave it, but failed.
Lifting it up, he showed a self-deprecating smile: "I have been hunting geese all my life, but in the end I was pecked in the eye by a sparrow. I am tired of myself and others. I am really ashamed."
"When I saw the banner of General Hussar today, I felt really bad. With your strategy and the strong army you built, I could have easily driven out the barbarians, but the result... was good.
Thanks to your blessings, my dear brother, and the blessings of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, our Han army won this battle after all. With this, I feel relieved, and from now on, I will leave it to you."
It seemed that he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The seemingly dying Gongsun Zan suddenly regained his energy, and his eyes returned to the magnanimity and open-mindedness that Wang Yu had when he first met him in Jujube.
Saying so many words in one breath was a heavy burden on him, but Gongsun Zan had no intention of giving up. He took a few deep breaths, put aside his fatigue and weakness, and finally raised his hand, which Wang Yu quickly held.
"Fashi cooperates with you the most. You should be very familiar with it. Needless to say. Although Zihuan and the others are not as good as the heroes under your command, they are also rare talents. What is especially rare is their familiarity with Youzhou and even beyond the Great Wall.
, you will still be able to use them if you want to go out to fight against barbarians in the future. Xu'er and the others are not made to be generals, so you can make arrangements as appropriate to ensure that they have enough food and clothing. "
After explaining the funeral affairs, Gongsun Zan suddenly relaxed and sighed: "Being able to fight side by side with my virtuous brother, Zan will have no regrets in this life!"
"Lord!" Shan Jing's generals heard this and couldn't bear it anymore, so they burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? A general will inevitably die on the battlefield and be wrapped in horse leather. It is better than dying on a sickbed! Don't cry. You won't make my worthy brother and Ziyi laugh." It seemed that he had come back to his senses. Gongsun Zan shouted loudly, and all the generals could hear him.
Even more sadness came from it. Even Taishi Ci, who had always been heartless, was affected. His lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
"Brother, what you said is wrong." Wang Yu was unmoved. He suddenly said such a sentence, which made Gongsun Zan stunned on the spot. The others also looked at each other in astonishment, not knowing what Wang Yu meant.
"Xiandi means..."
"Eldest brother said that if you win the battle today, you can leave everything to the younger brother. This is completely false." On the way here, Wang Yu had already figured out Gongsun Zan's thoughts. At this time, he listened to the other party.
He was so confident in his explanation that he started talking eloquently.
"Since the pre-Qin era, how many times have the Hu people fought head-on with our Chinese princes in the Central Plains? No! Because they know that they are no match. Today, my little brother traveled a long distance to show the enemy's weakness and lure them into a decisive battle. Although they won, they still won't win.
It doesn’t play a decisive role, and it’s a long way from eliminating the border troubles. My elder brother said that I can rest assured, is that a compliment to my younger brother?”
Gongsun Zan was stunned by what he said and could not answer.
"Since I started the army, I have been looked after by two elders, which is why I have achieved today's achievements. Tao Gong gave me everything to help me with money and food, and the eldest brother also tried his best to protect me from wind and rain. Now that Tao Gong has passed away, Yu has lost his
However, the pattern of the Central Plains is gradually becoming clearer. When the war is about to ignite and the border troubles in the north have not been eliminated, how can the elder brother bear to abandon each other?"
"It's not like abandoning each other, Brother Yu is just..."
"The eldest brother just thinks that he is old and can no longer be used?" Wang Yu asked himself and answered: "That's why the younger brother said that the eldest brother was wrong. In the next counterattack, without the help of the eldest brother, Yu is really struggling."
"My wise brother has so many talented people, this is a bit..." Gongsun Zan shook his head and laughed at himself: "Hey, I still know how much Zan is capable of."
"Brother, don't believe me?" Gongsun Zan was unable to make progress, but Wang Yu had no intention of giving up: "Forget it, after the Northern Expedition began, my younger brother has been thinking about how to completely eliminate border troubles. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with an idea and drafted a plan.
The Pingbei policy is here. This policy has not yet been discussed with the army's civil and military affairs, so I would like to ask my eldest brother to correct it."
"My wise brother's plan to pacify the North?" Gongsun Zan's eyes lit up and he suddenly became interested.
The two of them asked and answered questions and spoke fluently. On the other hand, Zou Dan and Tai Shi Ci were dumbfounded.
Zou Dan had witnessed with his own eyes how lifeless Gongsun Zan was before, so he begged Wang Yu on the road, hoping that the latter would be as tactful as possible so that he could send his lord off on his final journey.
Who would have thought that apart from a few words of comfort at the beginning, Wang Yu seemed to have eaten fried beans, speaking faster and faster, and his tone became more and more aggressive. If he were not sure that Wang Yu would not have any ill intentions, Zou
Dan even wanted to drag him out. Is this his attitude towards the patient?
Discussing military and state affairs with a dying man, it's a shame he can think of it.
However, just such a puzzling approach completely aroused Gongsun Zan's emotions. Looking at the look in the eyes of this white horse general, how could he still look like a dying man?
Zou Dan was puzzled and confused, and was completely stunned.
Taishi Ci didn't think so much. His attention was focused on Wang Yu's Pingbei policy. As for the patient... Ahem, looking at General Gongsun's current appearance, is there any danger? Maybe after hearing the master's advice
Ce, he immediately slapped the case and sat up?
"Since ancient times, there are only two strategies to solve border troubles, either building the Great Wall to defend, or launching a massive counterattack and pursuing the enemy to the north. The former is very costly and has limited effect. How can a border of thousands of miles be enclosed by building a city wall? Moreover, even if
If there is a powerful city, it must be defended by someone, so it is not advisable."
"Counterattack can bring out the majesty and courage of my Chinese man. I have heard about Wei Huo's deeds since I was a child. Every time I think about it, my blood boils and I am excited. I wish I had given birth to him two thousand years earlier and participated in this grand event together... However,
This method also has disadvantages.”
When he finished speaking, he realized that he had accidentally let something slip. Wang Yu had to end his long speech midway and quickly changed the subject. His move was quite effective. As expected, everyone's attention was attracted by the shortcomings he mentioned later, and they did not pay attention to him.
Accidentally told the wrong time.
"Does this method also have disadvantages?" Gongsun Zan asked himself and answered: "Brother Xian is talking about the problem of laboring the troops and mobilizing the masses, and the consumption of money and food, right?"
"This is one of them." Wang Yu nodded.
"And the other two?" Gongsun Zan was slightly surprised. He was actually a supporter of foreign policy during the Emperor Wu era of the Han Dynasty. If he didn't accept it, he would beat him until he was convinced. Dead fools are good fools, so he and Wang Yu were able to talk like this.
"There will always be people on the grassland. After the Xiongnu were defeated, there were also Xianbei and Wuhuan. Before the Xiongnu, there were Donghu, Qiang people in the west, Wusun Kingdom, Goguryeo and Fuyu in the east, Dingling in the north, Ruo
Chances are, these tribes and
The Xiongnu and Xianbei are just bad names. Even if we really mobilize the troops and massacre the grassland, it will not take more than a few decades for these tribes to grow like weeds. This is the drawback of the iron-blooded policy."
Gongsun Zan thought about the same idea and heard that Wang Yu had something to say, so he was not in a hurry to ask. Taishi Ci was impatient and asked hurriedly: "I can't defend or attack, so what should I do?
?”
Wang Yu smiled slightly and asked instead: "It's very simple, Ziyi, think about it, what does it mean to expand territory?"
"Ah?" Taishi Ci scratched the back of his head, feeling that this question was too weak, but he didn't know how to answer it yet: "Opening up territory and expanding territory? It's just opening up territory and expanding territory, how else can I explain it?"
"The territory that has been opened up must be included in the scope of jurisdiction, which is called opening up territory. If you go around in a circle and then come back, that's called an armed march!"
"Pengju, you mean...you want to conquer the grassland? Manage the grassland?" Gongsun Zan was shocked and frightened by the meaning of Wang Yu's words. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better and updated novels. quick!)
