"Move the defense and hand over? Why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Yu was greatly surprised, stopped and looked at Jia Xu in confusion.
In Wang Yu's expectation, unless Lu Bu himself is unwilling to continue to fight on the battlefield, the final solution for Lu Bu's army should be the same as Gongsun Zan and others. Although there are many heroes in the Central Plains, the frontier is also very large, and it can be accommodated as much as possible.
Anyway, as long as the rules are set up well, the more people there are, the faster the expansion will be. It is of course best to have a strong man like Lu Bu join.
However, that should have happened after the Central Plains War ended, or even after the world was established. The Second Gongsun's territory happened to be on the border, and he took advantage of the remaining power of the Northern Xinjiang War to conquer it.
Gao Gan was not in a hurry to attack, but wanted to stay in Yanmen temporarily, mainly because there were already two Gongsuns in the east and north of the grassland, and there was no room for him to expand. If he wanted to leave the fortress, he could only go west.
If you want to expand to the west, the enemies you have to face will be more complex and stronger than those in the east. In addition to the Xianbei in the west, the power of the Qiang and Hu cannot be ignored, plus the Dingling, Xiongnu, Jiehu tribes in the north, and some without
The resistance of small tribes with clear affiliations is more than twice as great as that of the eastern grasslands?
The strongest Xianbei and Wuhuan in the eastern grassland were both crippled by Wang Yu, but Gongsun Zan still had to fight hard to gain a foothold in building a city at the foot of Daqing Mountain; after Gongsun Du eliminated the soft persimmon of Goguryeo, he only had enough opponents in front of him.
Fuyu was left, but he still didn't dare to advance. This shows that opening up territory is not that simple.
Even if this is the case on the eastern front, these enemies in the west are even more difficult for a single high-ranking cadre to defeat. Even if Lu Bu is added, it will probably not help. The Central Plains must move first so that the high-ranking cadre and others can take advantage of the situation to attack.
It would be nice for a high-ranking man who is at the end of his rope to have a way out. He would not have any objections to letting him have a good time at Yanmen Pass, as long as he is provided with enough supplies. But Lu Bu's temper... Wang Yu believes that even if he is
If his real only daughter's husband dared to make such a request in person, Lu Bu would definitely turn against him and hit him.
Just kidding, if Lu Bu is asked to move his defenses now, wouldn't it mean that the Bingzhou Army is regarded as a miscellaneous army?
Even if he didn't think about Lu Bu, Wang Yu also wanted to use the strength of Lu Bu's army in the Central Plains war. Needless to say, Lu Bu himself had Gao Shun in Puyang! The two sides joined forces, and Cao Cao gathered the remnants of Dong Zhuo's army.
So what?
Of course, this may not be due to the game mentality of the previous life. If possible, who would not recruit Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms? What about Zhao Yun?
"Oh, my lord!" Jia Xu spread his hands and sighed helplessly, helpless to Wang Yu's slowness in details.
"What kind of person is Marquis Lu Wen? Even you, can you command him like an arm and a finger? During the battle, Puyang was established as the forefront. Food and grass, equipment transportation, soldier replenishment, and wounded evacuation were all located here. It was really the most important place.
How can it be garrisoned by allied forces with such different orders? If anything happens, then..."
Before Wang Yu went north, the situation in Yanzhou and Henan was quite complicated. Counting from the east, Taishan County had long been in the hands of Wang Yu and was managed like a steel pipe. The two counties of Jibei and Lu were established after the Hebei War.
The control is in the hands, and the rule is quite stable.
Further west, the three counties of Dongping, Rencheng and Shanyang were originally the buffer zone left between Wang Yu and Cao Cao after the Hebei War. Later, Lu Bu invaded Dongjun and became the buffer zone between Wang Yu and Lu Bu.
It was not until the two sides signed an alliance that the Qingzhou Army's westward expansion continued.
However, due to the long gap in between, the local forces in these places got the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes and gradually grew up, and included the southern part of Dongping, the Rencheng Kingdom, the western part of Shanyang County, plus the Pei Kingdom of Yuzhou, and the Qiao County
Part of the northern region was unified, and this guy who was not afraid of death was Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou recommended by Liu Biao.
During the Chuping period, basically every state in the world had more than one governor, which had become the norm. The court could appoint people, the princes from all over the country could express their opinions, and some people could stand on their own. Anyway, in troubled times, as long as the fists are strong enough, there may not be anyone who claims to be the emperor.
Guan, not to mention the governor or the state pastor?
Wang Yu had never heard of Guo Gong's name, and his behavior didn't seem like someone with any long-term vision. He stood up between the two major forces, or he was planning to kill people and set fire to the gold belt, and he was prepared to use this as a bargaining chip.
Those who seek refuge with a certain party, or those who are not afraid of death, are both unworthy of attention.
Wang Yu didn't know that Guo Gong had done something in history. After Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and was attacked by Lu Bu, only three cities in Yanzhou were still under his control, which was in danger. Then Guo Gong appeared and was ready to go to Yanzhou.
I was looking for something cheap, but Xun Yu came to my door and scared me away with threats and inducements.
Guo Gong's strength is not strong. Thousands of private soldiers from his family have gathered tens of thousands of mobs, and their combat effectiveness is not much better than that of the ordinary Yellow Turban Army. However, before and after Wang Yu launched the Northern Expedition, there was indeed no spare time to deal with him.
If you act rashly, it might turn into a two-sided war.
Although Cao Cao gave up Dongjun, he still firmly controlled Chenliu, as well as the southern part of Jiyin County, plus Liang State, Chenjun, and Yingchuan in Yuzhou. Once Wang Yu wiped out Guo Gong, there would be no one on either side.
There is room for buffering.
Coupled with Yuan Shu in the south, the invincible Yellow Turbans of Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao's remaining troops, the situation in Yanzhou and Yuzhou is complicated.
Wang Yu had previously regarded Lu Bu as part of the Qingzhou Army, but what Jia Xu said seemed to make sense. He seemed to be thinking a bit simplistically. Especially after the rumor incident, Wang Yu did not dare to
Take it lightly.
Guo Gong doesn't matter, he's just a clown. He sent an envoy to ask for his intention first. If he doesn't understand, he can just kill him. But Yuan Shu must be taken into consideration, otherwise when the army marches westward, it will be hit hard from the flank. That would be terrible.
Can't stand it.
If Lu Bu is also a destabilizing factor, the situation will be even more complicated.
"Wen He's words are mature words for seeking a country, but..." Wang Yu pondered undecided.
Jia Xu knew what Wang Yu was hesitating about, so he suggested: "How about asking Wen Marquis to move to Taiyuan first, so that he and Yuan Zhi can be at odds with each other to compete with the Xiliang army?"
"Taiyuan..." Wang Yu quickly sketched out the geographical situation of Bingzhou in his mind. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the territory of the Han Empire was still complete, and the center of Bingzhou should be Xihe. As the country declined, the Hetao area slowly
Occupied by foreigners, the center of Bingzhou gradually moved eastward to Taiyuan.
At present, Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou, only has two territories occupied by Taiyuan and Shangdang, plus Yanmen Pass. If Lu Bu moves to Taiyuan and Xu Shu moves to Shangdang, it would be a good idea to resist the Xiliang army from the south to the north.
.
Lu Bu was originally from Bingzhou, and his troops mainly came from Bingzhou. Once they got there, it was like a dragon returning to the sea. There were so many soldiers in Xiliang that it was really difficult for Xu Shu's partial army to compete. With this arrangement, both sides only need to support each other.
That's fine, but it can blur the issue of command authority.
As for whether Lu Bu's ambition would grow after returning to Bingzhou, Wang Yu was not worried.
In fact, the two families are already relatives, so there is no need to be so tense; in reason, before the Xiliang army came, Bingzhou was already quite dilapidated. After being invaded by the Xiliang army, Bingzhou became almost a barren land.
, even if something happens, it won’t be much of a threat.
"That's fine, I will discuss it with my father-in-law when he comes." Wang Yu nodded and asked in a deep voice: "Since Wen He has thought about this, the mastermind behind the rumors should be close to him."
?”
"My lord is wise."
Jia Xu cupped his hands, twisted his beard and sneered: "The theory of 'black hand' is very vivid. The Lord ordered an investigation a few days ago, and I asked Shi Yuan to conduct a thorough investigation. In the end, no actual evidence was found. To be precise, there were no clues.
They are all interrupted, but various signs still indicate that the people involved in this conspiracy are more or less related to the Yuan clan... What's more important is that most of these rumors originally spread from Sui'an."
"That's right." Wang Yu found it hard to explain how he felt.
He never had much expectations for Yuan Shu. Maybe all dandies are like this. They always think that the world should revolve around them, which leads to biased judgment and many stupid things that people find unbelievable.
Now think about it, Gongsun Yue's death in battle may have been caused by Yuan Shu's conspiracy. As for the purpose, it was just to take a fancy to the Youzhou cavalry and want to take the opportunity to devour Gongsun Yue's tribe.
Yuan Shu's thinking is relatively simple. When he is harmless, he makes people feel easy to get along with him. When he falls out, it is equally baffling. Disappointment is out of the question, but as he gradually moves away from his ally to his enemy, even with Wang
Yu's determination was so firm that he also felt sighs in his heart.
Wang Yu pinched his brows and sighed: "There is no other way. Let's officially list Huainan as a hostile force and be on guard. Sui'an will investigate first. If there is no connection, they will notify Prefect Wang to take precautions in advance, just in case.
stop."
"Yes." Jia Xu knew that his lord would not be in a good mood, so he responded in a low voice, thought for a while, and suddenly added: "Actually, General Yuan did this not to see us in trouble, but his intention was probably
Make a little balance and let this battle last longer so that both sides are exhausted."
"The snipe and the clam are fighting, but the fisherman gets the benefit?" Wang Yu said with a smile.
Jia Xu understood why his lord was smiling so strangely. With the strength of the Huainan Army, unless Qingzhou and Guanzhong invaded each other's territory and killed each other in rivers of blood, and wiped out all the old foundations in the army, Yuan Shu would
There is no chance at all. However, there is certainly a reason for him to make such a judgment.
I saw him smile slightly and said: "The fisherman definitely wants to gain profits, but it may not be the same as what you have in mind, my lord. General Yuan may just think that as long as you and Cao Cao both lose, the troubled times will continue for a long, long time."
"Then..." Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, wondering why Jia Xu was so stubborn again. When he saw Jia Xu's expression, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly realized: "After doing this for a long time, it turns out that he is still thinking about that.
What’s the matter, is this guy an idiot? He still wants to be the emperor, so what if he becomes the emperor? It’s really baffling!”
"Haha," Jia Xu chuckled: "There are millions of people in the world, but most of them only look at the people in front of them. How many of them can plan for the future like the Lord, regardless of their own gains and losses? It is precisely people like Yuan Jiuji who are short-sighted. The lord's open-mindedness is even more precious for this generation."
"Okay, okay, stop flattering, go eat, go eat." Wang Yu shook his head, as if to completely put Yuan Shu out of his mind, grabbed Jia Xu, and entered the hall. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
