"What should I say about Gongsun Du? I think he is very decisive and can be called an ambitious person. Even if we do not consider the established strategy of Northern Xinjiang, he will face several heavyweight opponents joining forces to challenge him at the same time.
When the time comes, leaving such a person behind cannot be said to be a wise choice."
The news of Gongsun Du's arrival in Piaoyujin was immediately conveyed to Jixian County by Taishi Ci Fei Ge. After receiving this good news, Wang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, and was contented with the child laborers who had taken a break from many complicated affairs.
'Talking about his handling and thinking of Liaodong.
In fact, there are different opinions within the army on the necessity of the Eastern Expedition. They feel that Liaodong is remote and has poor products. It is useless to obtain it and it is not a pity to abandon it. Even if the lord cannot tolerate the existence of this independent regime, it can still wait.
After the situation in the Central Plains is clear, we can turn around and attack it calmly.
Therefore, to a certain extent, it can be said that the Eastern Expedition and the subsequent oppression of Liaodong were pushed forward by Wang Yu relying on his own prestige.
Now Gongsun Du came to Jixian alone to meet Wang Yu. The matter of the Eastern Expedition was basically settled, and Wang Yu was in a mood to explain.
"Anyway, things are already like this. Of course, my lord, it is whatever you say..." Zhuge Liang said very disapprovingly of Wang Yu's threat to Liaodong. Not only him, there were many dissidents among the civil servants.
In Zhuge Liang's view, the existence of Wuhuan will indeed become a destabilizing factor in northern Xinjiang, but on the other hand, the coexistence of these three forces, Gongsun Zan, Liaodong and Wuhuan, who leave the fortress or stay in Youzhou, will create a mutual containment
stable architecture.
Instead of chasing after Wuhuan and forcing Liaodong, it is better to be more generous and escape from northern Xinjiang as soon as possible. Ping Bei Ce is a very grand plan, but for now, it is not
The idealized color is still a bit strong, and it is not only very difficult to get it right in one step, but it can also easily leave hidden dangers.
Zhuge Liang and quite a few civil servants felt that the top priority now was for Wang Yu to return to Gaotang and take charge as soon as possible. It would be better if he could move to Wei County and station himself on the banks of the Ma River.
No matter how exciting Pingbei Ce is, compared with the Central Plains, Northern Xinjiang is still far less important. The opponents in the Central Plains are also not on the same level as those in Northern Xinjiang, and the threat is many times higher.
Zhuge Liang had no intention of arguing, but directly reminded him: "My lord, please don't forget that you are very powerful in northern Xinjiang, but others are also doing a great job. According to the analysis of the military advisor's last letter, the Guanzhong War is almost the same.
It’s settled…”
During this period, the situation in the Central Plains was also changing rapidly. Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Lu Su, and Pang Tong were responsible for the directions in which they were responsible. Warning messages were sent frequently. It is not that someone raised troops to invade the territory, but the enemy's strength continued to grow, and it did not matter if our own side was weakened.
What a difference.
The first is the dramatic change in Guanzhong.
Shortly after Jia Xu speculated that Cao Cao might join forces with Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Xiliang rebel forces to carve up Guanzhong, it was actually verified.
Stimulated by land and wealth, Ma and Han, who had returned from a disastrous defeat, regrouped in just over a month and pulled out a lineup several times larger than the previous attack on Guanzhong.
Qiang, Shaodang Qiang, Huangzhong Qiang, Baima Qiang... all the famous leaders in the Xiliang area gathered together and gathered 200,000 troops, known as a million-strong army, and marched towards Chang'an in a mighty manner.
In fact, Dong Zhuo's prestige among the Xiliang Qiang people is no lower than that of Ma Teng and Han Sui, but appeal has always been linked to interests. Dong Zhuo became prime minister and occupied most of Sili Prefecture, starting from Xiliang.
They recruited a lot of people, but they still couldn't bring enough benefits to the people of Xiliang.
Before Ma and Han raised the banner of Xiliang people marching eastward as a whole, their war with Dong Zhuo was a dog-eat-dog war, and the various rebels in Xiliang would not have any feelings, nor could they say they had any inclination.
But Ma Teng’s slogan is amazing. The rebels originally rebelled because they were poor, but the result was the opposite, and they became even poorer. Everyone knew that continuing like this was not the answer, but they couldn’t think of a solution. Ma Teng
This time is like lighting up a bright light. Is there any reason for people to rebel?
Dong Zhuo was shocked.
Even without Wang Yu's reminder, he would have realized what Cao Cao was planning. He knew that Ma Teng and Han Sui, two guys with more muscles than brains, were Cao Cao's cover, making it easier for Cao Cao to carry out some conspiracy in private.
, intending to subvert.
But he didn't take it seriously. He had much more dealings with Ma and Han than Cao Cao. How often had these two fellow sufferers not been photographed all over their heads by him?
Therefore, the first time Ma Teng raised troops to invade, Dong Zhuo didn't even bother to take action personally. He only sent one Guo Si over and beat Ma Teng to pieces. The flying bear army of his personal guard firmly controlled Chang'an's
The city defense made it impossible for the taxi gangs in the city to take advantage of them.
After resolving the crisis, Fatty Dong took Wang Yu's letter and publicized it everywhere, telling everyone he met that Wang Yu had underestimated him. Even Cao Cao and Ma Teng, the two losers, took it so seriously. It was obviously a family affair.
Once your career becomes big and your life becomes rich, you will no longer have the courage you once had.
This episode is of course harmless. Even if Dong Zhuo regains his confidence and prepares to avenge his ear-cutting, he must first completely settle Cao Cao and Ma Teng.
As a result, before his excitement had passed, Ma Teng made a comeback with a vengeance.
Dong Zhuo did not dare to take it lightly this time.
Ma Teng and Han Sui themselves are nothing to be afraid of. Their rebels lack food and pay, are poorly equipped, and have limited soldiers to fight. Although Dong Zhuo has been getting worse and worse in recent years, his direct troops are originally from the Western Frontier.
A very prestigious force among the frontier armies, well-equipped and well-trained.
If it weren't for Wang Yu's many cunning plots back then, which resulted in his combat strength not even being used to 20% to 30%, the coalition of princes would not be able to stand up to the powerful troops under his command.
But the Qiang people are different. These people are local snakes in the western border. They have been present in all the rebellions. In the first year of Zhongping, Beigong Boyu, the rebel leader who took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was
The leader of the Huangzhong Qiang.
Normally, the Qiang people are scattered into tribes. At that time, they were not something to be afraid of. Dong Zhuo had many ways to divide them and defeat them one by one. He was afraid that these people would unite. In that case, the combined forces of Ma and Han would have less manpower and material resources.
will be greatly supplemented, and this is the truly terrifying threat.
Dong Zhuo did not dare to divide his troops this time. Instead, he transferred all the elites of his direct line back to defend Chang'an, leaving only Hu Zhen's miscellaneous army and Duan Xuan's non-direct line troops to guard the eastern front.
Dong Zhuo knew that the real life-and-death enemy was Cao Cao. Both sides had to fight for living space, and the contradiction was irreconcilable. In addition, the other two sides could find a way. To escape the disaster, it was impossible to face three enemies at the same time.
.
Therefore, he tried his best to appease the Chang'an taxi party and made a series of promises including releasing the emperor.
On the other hand, Dong Zhuo did not rush to communicate with the Ma and Han coalition forces. Instead, he personally commanded the army and fought several head-on battles with the enemy. After rousing the opponent's spirit, he relied on his good relationship in the past and tried to attack from within.
Disintegrate the coalition forces.
Dong Zhuo's army was also called the Xiliang Army for a time, which shows that he still has a lot of knowledge in Xiliang, and he also has a deep understanding of the habits of the Qiang people, and his response methods are very targeted.
If nothing else happened, the Ma and Han coalition forces might actually be defeated by him with a soft knife. But Cao Cao has been planning the plan for so long, how can it be easy to let Dong Zhuo defeat it one by one?
The smoothness was just an appearance. At the moment when Dong Zhuo thought he had a plan, Cao Cao used his strength. He instigated Duan Xuan's rebellion, cooperated internally and externally, and annihilated Hu Zhen's tribe in one fell swoop. Then he advanced furiously, breaking through Shaanxi County with lightning speed.
, Hongnong, Tongguan, drove straight into Chang'an City, and formed a pincer attack with the Ma-Han coalition forces against Dong Zhuo's main force.
Dong Zhuo was caught off guard and had no time to react. On the other hand, the already shaken Ma-Korean coalition had a surge in morale. The leaders and commanders who had personal contacts with Dong Zhuo expressed their war intentions by beheading their envoys and destroying their books.
Dong Zhuojun fell into death immediately.
The last letter sent by Jia Xu ends here, but counting the time, Dong Zhuo, who has lost all strategic depth and non-direct troops, is almost finished. Cao Cao has been preparing for such a long time, how can he just
Instigating a rebellion against Duan Xuan? Maybe someone will directly open the gate of Chang'an City.
"After Dong Zhuo is eliminated, Cao Cao is bound to start a war in Jingxiang. Liu Biao is just a show-off. Does the lord still expect him to hold back Cao Sun? Even if Liu Biao is willing to fight to the death in order to preserve his foundation, Jingxiang will
The power is huge, and in times of peace, it is not difficult for Liu Biao to suppress it with his tactics, but when the army comes to the city, who can guarantee that they will not sacrifice Jingzhou to protect their wealth?"
Zhuge Liang looked solemn and analyzed in a deep voice: "Liang thinks that the Jingxiang War may end earlier than imagined, maybe before autumn... My lord insists on solving the Liaodong issue now, so he will have to stay in Youzhou until next year at least.
, in this case, the initiative to fight for the Central Plains may change hands."
When he first heard about Wang Yu's Northern Strategy, Zhuge Liang was also very excited. He felt that this strategy was a long-term peace and stability strategy and should be implemented as soon as possible. However, the situation in the Central Plains changed so fast. Who would have thought that Dong Zhuo's army, who once fought against all the heroes alone, could actually
How could it turn from prosperity to decline in such a short period of time and be destroyed in an instant?
The threat from Cao Cao and Sun Ce may not be urgent yet, but the most urgent threat is from the Xiliang rebel forces.
Intelligence shows that Cao Cao's army has completely withdrawn from Hedong, apparently to implement the alliance agreement with the Yellow River as the dividing line. With the Xiliang rebel forces' desire for land and wealth, they may sweep across Hedong in a short period of time.
Even merged with the state and moved the front line directly to the Taihang Mountains!
Even though Zhuge Liang had received a good upbringing since he was a child and was very dignified, every time he thought about the rapidly changing situation in the Central Plains, he felt heart palpitations. However, the lord turned a blind eye to this. Not only did he have no intention of canceling the Eastern Expedition plan in advance, but he was also complacent.
Yu settled the small and irrelevant forces like Liaodong.
It's really...speechless. Zhuge Liang was very puzzled, when did the lord's eyelids become so shallow?
"Kong Ming, you are good at everything, you just need to change your temper. Don't be anxious when you should be anxious, and be impatient when you shouldn't be." Zhuge Liang was so anxious that he was furious, but Wang Yu didn't care. , while teasing Secretary-General Zhuge, he said leisurely: "Liaodong and Gongsun Shengji are not as insignificant as you think, and they are harmless to humans and animals..."
