Chapter 35: The Witty Zhang Liao [One Shift + Two Shifts]
The news of the loss of Juyong Pass made Gongsun Zhan's eyes dark, and he finally understood what Su Yunqing wanted to do.
Whether it is sufficient logistics or unflinching courage in the ice and snow, in fact, it is only to guide Gongsun Zhan's army to fight her.
And when Gongsun Zhan's army was gone, Juyongguan's troops were empty, so Su Yunqing was naturally given a chance.
Yes, Juyong Pass is indeed a natural risk, and it may not be a problem to rely on Juyong Pass to fight against ten, but this does not mean that Juyong Pass is as stable as Mount Tai.
It is precisely because he knows the danger of Juyong Pass, and Su Yunqing has never attacked Juyong Pass, which gives Gongsun Zan an illusion, Su Yunqing does not dare to come to fight and will not come to fight, so this time he not only took most of the army away, but he didn't even care about the garrison of Juyong Pass at all, and he didn't care at all.
It's okay now, Gongsun Zhan's laxity is Su Yunqing's opportunity, and Zhao Yun picked up Ju Yongguan easily.
Of course, Lu Bu is also one of the reasons, no one thought that after Lu Bu saw through Gongsun Zhan's plan, not only did he not come to join Su Yunqing, but ran to attack Juyong Pass with Zhao Yun.
One Zhao Yun is enough to make Ju Yongguan unable to hold on, and add Lu Bu...... Well, Lu Bu didn't have any other eggs except for bringing some troops.
Lu Bu's strength lies in cavalry, so don't be embarrassed for him to attack this kind of thing_(:3ใโ )_
After all, Lu Bu can't do this kind of thing like climbing the city wall on a war horse ==
After the loss of Juyong Pass, Su Yunqing and Gongsun Zhan's shapes were reversed at once, but Gongsun Zhan had no other way but to continue to retreat.
Of course, this time it was a real retreat and not a deliberate abandonment before.
A month later, Gongsun Chan retreated to the Wuruan Pass, but even the Wuruan Pass didn't last long, after all, Juyong Pass was beaten and he still cared about a Wuruan Pass.
At the end of winter, Su Yunqing fully occupied Shanggu and Zhuo County, and almost half of Guangyang County also fell into Su Yunqing's hands.
Gongsun Zan knew that he couldn't hold it, and in winter, he could still confront Su Yunqing through the weather and his familiarity with Youzhou, but it was difficult to say later, not to mention that the overall shape of Guangyang County was long and narrow, which was not conducive to sticking, especially now that Su Yunqing had occupied most of Guangyang.
So Su Yunqing fully occupied Guangyang County at the beginning of spring, and Gongsun Zan retreated to Yuyang County to continue the stalemate with Su Yunqing.
This is the bad thing about Youzhou, because the shape of Youzhou itself is a long strip, Su Yunqing has no way to outflank it in a roundabout way, so he can only fight it step by step.
But at this time, Su Yunqing received a letter from Jia Xu from Bingzhou, Jia Xu said that he hoped that Su Yunqing could end the war as much as possible, and the time for spring plowing was almost here, and it was not a matter for Su Yunqing to take hundreds of thousands of troops outside to be so prodigal, besides, these hundreds of thousands of troops were all labor.
In order to let Su Yunqing show a very local tyrant in logistics before, Gongsun Chan was deterred, so that Gongsun Zhan mistakenly thought that it was impossible to drag Su Yunqing down through logistics, but Jia Xu spent a lot of money, and later looked at the account book Jia Xu was distressed.
War is a money-burning thing.
Su Yunqing thought about it and felt that the war should not drag on for too long, but this kind of thing is not a quick battle that can be resolved quickly, Gongsun Zhan's power is deeply rooted in Youzhou, and it is not so easy to completely solve Gongsun Zhan.
What Su Yunqing felt in Yuyang was completely different from before, it can be said that Gongsun Chan was really desperate to defend Yuyang this time, after all, the more he went on, the more difficult it would be for him to beat Gongsun Chan, and he himself knew that he had no second way to go except to stick to it.
From this point of view, Su Yunqing still admires Gongsun Chan very much.
Compared with the strategist, I am afraid that there is no one around Gongsun Chan who can compare with Xun You, and the generals, Lu Bu and Zhao Yundianwei, are all top-notch, and even Lu Bu alone can crush and kill all the generals of Gongsun Zhan.
As for the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, there is not much difference between the two sides, so Gongsun Zhan's disadvantage is even more obvious.
But under such circumstances, Gongsun Chan actually blocked Su Yunqing in Yuyang for nearly four months, but he was finally defeated.
At this point, Su Yunqing knew that there was nothing to stop her from taking the entire territory of Youzhou.
Gongsun Zhan suffered heavy losses after this defeat, and his strength was not as good as before, and after Yuyang, Youbeiping County was almost defeated without much effort, and just when Su Yunqing was about to enter Liaoxi County, he received a news that he never expected.
Gongsun Zhan knew that he was at the end of his rope, so he simply committed suicide.
Su Yunqing never expected to get such a result.
"I never thought I'd kill him."
This seems to be a bit hypocritical to say, but Su Yunqing really thinks so, in Su Yunqing's opinion, Gongsun Chan has been in Youzhou for so many years, although there are few good things to do in her later years, but if Gongsun Chan can cooperate with her after she conquers Youzhou, it will be much easier to govern Youzhou with Gongsun Chan's help.
But Gongsun Chan is such a temper, he doesn't want to be captured, and he doesn't want to see his Youzhou finally fall into the hands of others, so he chose to commit suicide knowing that there was no hope at all.
After Gongsun Zhan's death, there was no need to fight this battle, Su Yunqing could have driven all the way over, even if there were still a few cities that couldn't think of continuing to resist, it wouldn't be able to make much of a splash.
Three months later, everything was stable, Su Yunqing returned to Merge Prefecture again, and the Battle of Youzhou, which lasted nearly a year, ended, Gongsun Zan died, and Youzhou fell into the hands of Su Yunqing.
However, Liu Bei ran neatly at the last moment, and Su Yunqing didn't even see a figure at all, but it is said that Gongsun Chan had delivered a part of the army to Liu Bei before he died, so if you count it, Liu Bei should have thousands of people in his hands at this time.
Su Yunqing didn't bother to worry about the rest of the matter, after all, the rest of the things were the affairs of the civil officials, and Su Yunqing was confused about this, Jia Xu just begged Su Yunqing not to make trouble, as for saying that he didn't want to do things.
Of course, at the same time, good things happened, and the letters that Xun You wrote before the annexation of the state finally saw the effect, or rather, when Su Yunqing conquered Youzhou, even if there were people who wanted to wait and see, they knew that they should make a decision.
Xun You's friends' friends, classmates' classmates, etc., in short, the relationship is strange, and in the end, there is really a person named Mao Jue.
Su Yunqing knew from the first time she saw Mao Yu that Mao Yu was different from Xun You, Xun You was a tactical talent, while Mao Yu was a strategic talent, and Jia Xu had no objection to this.
After that, just like when Xun You first came, Su Yunqing also entrusted Mao Yu with a heavy responsibility.
Mao Yu actually couldn't figure it out afterwards, but when he talked about it, Xun You looked like a person from the past.
"Xiaoxian, you still don't know the situation, the lord only looks at the people he uses, and he doesn't look at anything else." Saying this, Xun You looked very appreciative of Su Yunqing: "The lord has the wisdom to know people, knows people well, is clever, and is a person with great wisdom." โ
Mao Jue looked at Xun Yu so quietly, and asked for a while: "Gongda, are you sure?" โ
When he saw Su Yunqing, he didn't see any great wisdom in Su Yunqing, but Xun You's face was firm...... Speaking of which, Mao Yu also knew that Xun You was a very smart person, if he believed so much, then he must have a reason.
Speaking of which, could it be that Su Yunqing is really a person with great wisdom and he didn't find out?
After all, Xun You and Su Yunqing have been together for a long time, so they can be regarded as having more right to speak.
So Mao Jue couldn't help but look at Jia Xu, Jia Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, and held back a sentence for a while: "The lord is indeed the master." โ
This is his ideal type of lord that he has cultivated_(:3ใโ )_
Now Mao Jue is really confused, is Su Yunqing really a super smart person?
Of course, no matter how confused Mao Jue was, in fact, Su Yunqing herself didn't feel anything about it, just like Xun Yu at the beginning, Mao Jue was talented, so she reused Mao Jue, this is a matter of course, and there is no need to think too much.
Unless there is a problem with Mao Jue's character, the fact is that Mao Jie is not a treacherous villain, on the contrary, judging from Mao Jue's previous experience as an official, he is a very honest and fair person.
Since this is the case, Su Yunqing feels that she has no reason to hesitate at all, she should use it!
The state is short of people right now, okay?
Su Yunqing had no psychological burden on this, and went to find Cai Yong easily.
Cai Yong is a very learned person, and his daughter Cai Yan is also a very talented woman, and Su Yunqing's reason for looking for Cai Yong is quite simple.
If you are stupid, you should read more.
Well, in fact, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that only when Su Yunqing goes to find Cai Yong, Lu Bu has an excuse to go.
Well, yes, when Su Yunqing knew that Lu Bu finally let go of that 'married Xiangxiang' after more than a year, and instead fell in love with Cai Yan after coming back to see Cai Yan a few times this time, Su Yunqing really felt relieved.
She is afraid that Lu Bu will die!
But to be honest, Su Yunqing thinks that Lu Bu's hobby is quite special, and it is not a problem to get used to beautiful girls, the problem is that the girls that Lu Bu likes are quite difficult to attack.
Last time it was Xun Yu, it was a misunderstanding, forget it, this time Cai Yan ...... In short, Su Yunqing felt unreliable.
Cai Yan is a well-known talented woman, what about Lu Bu? Notoriously ...... The limbs are developed and the IQ is low, can this go together!
However, Lu Bu really recognized Cai Yan, and after losing the book for many years, Lu Bu picked up the book for Cai Yan again, and even began to write poems!
How terrible!
Lu Bu actually started writing poems!
That's right, it's Lu Bu, he writes poetry like a cultural person!
Su Yunqing felt that this was too terrifying, not to mention that Lu Bu's level of poetry writing was really miserable.
It is roughly the level of one yellow with two legs and two yellow with four legs...... โ_โ don't have to expect anything at all.
What surprised Su Yunqing was that Lu Bu actually took his poems to Cai Yan to show Cai Yan after going to Cai's mansion a few times under the pretext that she had nothing to do, and after creating some 'chance encounters' with Cai Yan from time to time!
It's terrible, why can't you think about it!
Do you think that a husky you wrote came to Mingjiao, and this kind of painting style can really show Cai Yan!
โฆโฆ Cai Yan really watched _(:3ใโ )_
Su Yunqing was stunned.
Even, Cai Yan not only read it, but she also helped Lu Bu revise it.
After Cai Yan's revision, Lu Bu's poem instantly completed the transformation from the original husky to the twilight snow.
It's just horrible.
"So, when did you brush up Cai Yan's favorability?"
Su Yunqing couldn't figure it out!
Lu Bu looked like he took it for granted: "Now that I don't fight, I often go out to hunt, and then send prey to Miss Cai." โ
Su Yunqing: "...... Are you sure that those bloody roe deer pheasants and the like can really brush Cai Yan's favorability? โ
You're not afraid to scare people!
"No, how could I give Miss Cai such a thing, how scary," Lu Bu waved his hand again and again: "Not everyone will like these like your mother." โ
Su Yunqing: "...... Hehe. โ
What does it mean she likes? Your daughter-in-law forgot her mother before she arrived! (โฏโตโกโฒ)โฏ๏ธตโปโโป
And when did she like this kind of thing!
Back then, she was also a girl who would smile at the little rabbit and say that she was so cute!
Probably seeing that Su Yunqing's expression was not very good, Lu Bu could only explain again: "Obviously, every time I saw me bring my prey back to my mother, you were very happy, I thought you liked it very much." โ
โฆโฆ That's because there's meat to eat, okay! Silly boy, you don't know the heart of a girl who is a mother!
However, in the face of Lu Bu's innocent expression, Su Yunqing finally gave up arguing about this kind of thing, and continued to ask: "Then let's talk about it, what did you give Cai Yan?" โ
"Everything I gave Miss Cai is alive!" Lu Buke looked proud: "It's like a little rabbit or something that looks cute, Miss Cai likes it." โ
Su Yunqing: "......"
Okay, if you send Cai Yan, you will send a rabbit that you can raise, play with, and sell cute, and if you send your mother, you will send a bunch of bloody corpses...... Although she does eat meat very happily, the difference in this style of painting still makes people feel so aggrieved!
She can also smile at the little animals and say what a cute girl, qaq
It's just that......
"Feng Xian, is this a solution you came up with yourself?"
Su Yunqing felt that although the bloody prey was indeed ...... It's a challenge for most girls.,But this kind of gift-giving style is Lu Bu.,On the contrary, a little rabbit or something.,It's obviously wrong, right?
"Wen Yuan taught me!" Lu Bu sold Zhang Liao without hesitation: "I originally wanted to send the prey directly, if Miss Cai didn't want to peel the skin herself, I could send it to her after I took care of it, but Wen Yuan said that not every girl is as cruel as your mother, Miss Cai probably won't like the prey that I peeled the skin and cramped and dismantled the bones, he said that it is most appropriate to send things like rabbits, and these small animals can deepen the relationship with Miss Cai, and maybe they will be killed and eaten in a blink of an eye for their mother." โ
Su Yunqing: "......"
It turns out that Zhang Liao, are you talking about me like that behind your back?
No, it's more than that......
"Wen Yuan said, I can't use my mother as a standard to measure girls, most of the girls' painting styles are still the opposite of their mothers."
So Lu Bu sent some cute little animals to Cai Yan, the basic standard is that they are not big, fluffy, cute-looking, and docile.
As for Su Yunqing's side...... What a roe deer, a deer, and even Lu Bu sent a wolf ......_(:3ใโ )_
It's also quite hard.
Su Yunqing was silent for a while at Lu Bu and then asked a question: "What about Wenyuan?" I have something to do with him. โ
Zhang Liao, come here, let's talk about life!
So on the same day, Zhang Liao was beaten back and forth several times by Su Yunqing on the school field with a face full of innocence and a question mark on his head, and he almost lost confidence and didn't want to be a general.
However, no matter how Zhang Liao thought, he couldn't figure out why he was beaten.
It's just that...... The lord's force is worth it, he is really a man! [Thumbs!
โฆโฆ So, fortunately, Zhang Liao didn't say this_(:3ใโ )_
Youzhou is new, and Bingzhou will not fight for a while, which can be regarded as entering a relatively calm period.
But the calm of the state does not mean the peace of the rest of the world, just in this year, probably stimulated by Su Yunqing's defeat of Youzhou, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao finally stopped tearing up.
Or, in fact, Cao Cao didn't want to tear it up for a long time, and a group of his strategists were building yรฌ He should hurry up and develop not bb, Cao Cao wanted to, but Yuan Shao didn't let him.
Yuan Shao pulled Cao Cao and him BB vigorously, Cao Cao couldn't help it, Yuan Shao was going to tear him up, he couldn't help but accept it, but how to say it, Yuan Shao's family background is so confident, Cao Cao's strategists are shameless, and it really can't tell the winner for a while.
It wasn't until Su Yunqing defeated Youzhou that Yuan Shao finally felt threatened, and he finally let Cao Cao go.
Yuan Shao's Jizhou leaned on one side and Youzhou on the other, Su Yunqing and Gongsun Zan were two families in the past, so Yuan Shao's life was quite good, but now that Youzhou is returned to Su Yunqing, Yuan Shao suddenly felt that the fire was about to burn to his eyebrows.
Su Yunqing's occupation of the two states was a huge threat to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao is very clear that Su Yunqing definitely wants Jizhou, whether it is Youzhou or Bingzhou, it is a bitter cold land on the border, but Jizhou is very rich, how can Su Yunqing not covet the land of Jizhou.
When his advisers analyzed the pros and cons of Yuan Shao, and said that if Yuan Shao did not seize the time to strengthen himself, but continued to tear up with Cao Cao and delay time, then once Su Yunqing completely stabilized Youzhou and recovered from the previous continuous battle with Gongsun Zhan, Su Yunqing's next target must be Jizhou.
After all, when Yuan Shao was weak and Su Yunqing was strong, Jizhou leaned on Su Yunqing's mouth, such a fat meat that was placed on his mouth, it would be a fool not to eat it.
Not to mention Su Yunqing, if Yuan Shao had such a piece of fat in his mouth, he would not hesitate to bite it.
Therefore, Yuan Shao must be as strong as possible, otherwise he will be the first person to deal with when Su Yunqing has a free hand.
So Yuan Shao set his sights on Qingzhou, while Cao Cao set his sights on Xuzhou.
However, just when Su Yunqing was about to develop with peace of mind, a messenger came from Bingzhou, claiming to be sent by Sun Ce.
Su Yunqing raised his eyebrows: "Sun Ce? Are you talking about Sun Wentai's son Sun Ce? โ
"Yes."
Sun Jian was killed by Liu Biao back then, Sun Ce was young and could only be entrusted to Yuan Shu's account, but Yuan Shu was a person with great ambitions and no ability, and Sun Ce's life under him was not easy.
Sun Ce himself can be said to be a copy of Sun Jian, Sun Ce is brave and prestigious, after Sun Jian's death, Sun Jian's subordinates originally had the meaning of Sun Ce, but Sun Ce was under Yuan Shu's hands at this time, which means that Sun Ce can't be independent for a day, and he can't revive the Sun family's family business for a day.
Sun Ce originally had expectations for Yuan Shu, after all, the name of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family was too big, but he mistook Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu took in Sun Ce but did not trust him, he both liked Sun Ce's bravery, and was wary of Sun Ce.
Of course, if it's just that, forget it, Sun Ce is not Yuan Shu's son, and it is normal for Yuan Shu to be wary of him.
But Yuan Shu did the last thing he shouldn't do.
Capricious, untrustworthy.
After Sun Jian's death, the territory was naturally gone, and what Sun Ce wanted most at present was to have a piece of his own territory, so he was very heroic when he fought for Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu did not admit it.
Yuan Shu said to Sun Ce every time, if you beat xx, I will give you xx and let you be the chief there, but the fact is that every time Sun Ce fights down, Yuan Shu will let his people go up without giving Sun Ce a chance, even if Sun Ce can be an official for two days occasionally, he will be replaced by Yuan Shu with various excuses.
It's okay once or twice, but three or four times, of course, Sun Ce doesn't want to play with Yuan Shu.
At this time, Yuan Shu saw that Liu Shu was not pleasing to the eye and was about to fight with Liu Xuan, Sun Ce asked for help again and said that he would attack Liu Xuan for Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu agreed without thinking too much.
But what Yuan Shu didn't expect was that this time, Sun Ce didn't plan to return to his subordinates, and Sun Ce was already completely disappointed in Yuan Shu.
"But what does that have to do with me?"
Apparently there is a relationship.
Before Sun Jian died, he told Sun Ce that if he wanted to ask for help in the future, then only Su Yunqing and Cao Cao could help him among the powerful factions in the world.
At this time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had just turned off the fire, but Su Yunqing occupied the land of the two states, and he was currently a relatively powerful prince in the world, so Sun Ce naturally came to seek Su Yunqing's help.
Though...... Sun Ce himself didn't have much hope, he felt that it was more likely that the envoy would return in vain after sending out.
If Su Yunqing helped him, it was just to help him with the relationship he established with Sun Jian when they fought Dong Zhuo together, but in the face of reality, this affection may have a limited effect.
But Sun Ce can only try once, at least, Su Yunqing helps him earn, if he doesn't help, he just sends a messenger over, and there is actually nothing to lose.
Su Yunqing thought about it, settled the envoy first, and then went to discuss it with Jia Xu and the others.
She wanted to help herself, Sun Jian also helped her a lot back then, and now she helps Sun Ce as a favor.
But how to help is a problem.
Sending troops directly or something, that must be impossible.
