Chapter 124: Shuangxu Combined, Stable Batch [Two in One]
"What should Mr. Yuanzhi do next?"
Xu Huang looked at the letter sent by his subordinates.
In fact, he didn't expect that Xu Shu would be able to get Zhang Yan's permission as soon as he came.
Although it is said that without Zhang Yan's permission, it is not impossible for the Dingyuan Army to invade Qingzhou casually, but it would be better if he could become famous.
After all, Zhang Yan is still an ally with himself now.
So we must save a little face for each other, after all, Liu Bei will definitely cooperate and form alliances with more forces in the future, no matter what the purpose is, after all, sometimes tactical alliances are needed.
But if Liu Bei is so discredited or unrighteous at this stage to seize the territory of his allies, then it will not be easy to form an alliance after that, especially a normal alliance.
In fact, it is now a small Qingzhou, in Chen Chen's opinion, it is not worth squandering, so he squandered the good reputation that Liu Bei has accumulated.
Fame is actually accumulated to be useful at critical times, not to say that you have to take care of fame, so that you can be shackled.
Chen Chen is a very practical person.
He will feel the lives of the people, he will want to bring a better life to this era, and he will want to work hard for the safety of the people of this era.
But he never had a Virgin.
Your own people are your own people, and your enemies are your enemies.
Kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to one's own people.
And the entire Liu Bei Group is actually under the influence of Chen Chen, from various decisions to various behaviors.
The reason why Xu Huang didn't send troops to trouble Yuan Shao before was actually because Chen Chen explained to him two aspects of meaning before coming.
On the one hand, Chen Chen asked him to stand still and observe first.
Then see if you can become a yellow finch among the praying mantis cicadas.
On the other hand, if you can wait for Zhang Yan to ask for help, and your own division is famous, you will not be said to be greedy for the territory of your allies and send troops.
Although at this time, no one should pay attention to the situation here, and no one really dares to spray Liu Bei's character in the current situation.
But Chen Chen knows that there is always some bold people in this world.
And some people just rely on scolding, scolding in different tricks, and treating scolding as art, if these people collect Liu Bei's black material and crazy black Liu Bei, in fact, it is not a good thing for them to subdue various places in the future, and it will increase a lot of resistance.
So Xu Huang has actually been waiting for Zhang Yan to ask for help.
However, Xu Huang was relatively honest, he didn't know what to give Zhang Yan a hint of, but just waited quietly.
So after Xu Shu came, after listening to Xu Huang speak clearly and diligently, and after analyzing the situation, he directly wrote a letter to Zhang Yan.
As soon as this letter was written, Zhang Yan came directly to ask for help.
And the timing is just right.
Yuan Shao had just taken the rest of Qingzhou's territory except for Zhang Yan and Kong Rong, and the two clansmen surnamed Liu, but he was now bordered by these people.
If he still wants to expand his territory, he will have to fight with these relatively strong forces.
However, Kong Rong and the three of them, as the original forces in Qingzhou, actually kept in touch, and because of the invasion of Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao, they still had a bit of an alliance.
In fact, before they Qingzhou was originally a force, and the relationship was not so good, and in another time and space, the outbreak of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was too surprising and without warning, and they could be regarded as being divided.
If the local forces in Qingzhou had been prepared and could form a coalition army, the locust behavior of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban might not have been successful.
And in this life, Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao's actions are too obvious, and they both have the strength to dominate Qingzhou, which needs to be even more vigilant.
Zhang Yan took advantage of the co-optation of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to bring the territory of Qingzhou into his rule.
And Yuan Shao occupied the territory and attacked the city.
Now there are only three of them left.
The three families got together, and there were also 50,000 coalition troops, and their strength was not weak, so they could still find a balance between Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao.
Therefore, Qingzhou is now in a state of confrontation between Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao, and the Three Cities Alliance.
Whether it is Zhang Yan or Yuan Shao who does it against the Three Cities Alliance, Kong Rong and they will seek another one to cooperate.
Therefore, Yuan Shao's movements also slowed down, but this time is not a waste, they want to use this time to develop the territory they have captured.
But if Xu Huang chooses to copy Yuan Shao from the back at this time, and Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army will carry out a frontal siege, then Yuan Shao's peaceful arrangement will definitely be disrupted.
The new arrivals are hot.
It is easy to hold unsteadily.
Xu Shu thought for a while.
"Actually, we still don't need to do anything."
"Although it is said that outflanking at this time can indeed give Yuan Shao a hard blow, but if you say that you come to fight like this, it is actually hard-hitting, and it is not very good for us."
Xu Huang nodded, he was not afraid of a tough battle, but he knew that if there was a better and easier way to win, then there was no need to fight a hard battle.
"What is the situation of the Dingyuan Army now? Can General Komeito describe a little more and how many troops were able to leave the city completely? ”
"Now there are more than 30,000 people in the Dingyuan Army, of which 25,000 can be fully mobilized to go to the battle.
"And the Qingshan Battalion is independent of the Dingyuan Army, they are not stationed in Taishan County, they are now in the mountains next to Zhang Yan's territory."
Xu Shu silently wrote down this situation in his heart, and thought about it in his heart, in fact, the strength of the Dingyuan Army was similar to the strength of Yuan Shao's Bohai Navy, and the people who followed Yuan Shao to Qingzhou were his main strategists and powerful generals.
Although it is said that Lu Yi and Zhang Jaw stayed in Bohai, Yuan Shao's overall lineup of generals must be much stronger than that of the Dingyuan army.
And Xu Shu also directly faced Yuan Shao's think tank by himself.
In fact, such a comparison is not interesting.
Because the Dingyuan Army is just an ordinary branch of the army of Liu Bei's group, and Yuan Shao's Bohai Navy is his entire family, can't Liu Bei's army be stronger than the entire force of others, right?
It seems that it is really stronger than a lot of forces.
For example, Guan Yu's Yangwu Army, he now occupies a Yangwu army and is already stronger than seventy percent of the large and small forces in the Han Dynasty.
"What is General Komeito's opinion?"
Xu Shu felt that this was also the first battle of his debut, and he didn't need to be brilliant, he was now reused, and there was no need to surprise others with something too whimsical.
He just needs to be beautiful and steady.
"I listen to Mr. Yuanzhi."
Xu Huang is very humble, he actually respects Xu Shu and other scholars, and he himself often reads and learns, hoping to become a Confucian general who is both civil and military.
Well, a Confucian general with a big axe.
Is it so cooperative?
Xu Shu actually didn't expect Xu Huang to be such a strong and reliable general to hold himself like this, and it was really his own family.
But when people praise it, you have to respect it enough.
Since Xu Huang said so, Xu Shu also talked about his thoughts and arrangements, but without saying a few words, he took the initiative to ask Xu Huang about his thoughts and feelings.
The two had a great conversation.
And they are becoming more and more familiar, and they can still find resonance in the formulation of some strategies.
In fact, this is mainly because Xu Shu's arrangement of this war actually wants to be safe, to be able to complete this battle smoothly and beautifully, without leaving any opportunities and points for the opponent to turn the tables, everything can be done slowly, but it must be done perfectly and safely.
And Xu Huang himself is actually good at defending, as a general who is good at defense, in fact, Xu Huang will be more careful and detailed when considering problems, and will continue to compare gains and losses, and try to use the least loss to get the maximum benefit.
He's always felt that this was what defense was supposed to do.
As long as the attacking enemy's losses are much greater than their own, the enemy will definitely not be able to hold on first, and the crisis will be automatically resolved.
Xu Huangwen.
Xu Shu is more stable this time.
Shuangxu combined, stable and stable, naturally stable and stable.
"Since we have this consensus, let's take stability as the top and take it step by step."
Xu Shu took a pen and paper and began to make a detailed plan, so that it was more convenient to have a clear plan designation.
Xu Huang provided Xu Shu with some information on the side, so that he could better improve the plan.
Every step of the way.
It's not a virtual finger, but it's really a step-by-step approach.
The Dingyuan army will use cavalry to sweep the formation to prevent the enemy from attacking, and the infantry will completely block Yuan Shao's road north by constantly building defensive camps in the war zone.
As for whether this will consume the energy of your own soldiers too much.
Xu Shu is not a fool, and he will definitely not waste energy to do this in places where it is obvious that no one will interfere with the sneak attack and there is no point.
But almost all the important strategic points from north to south have been marked, if Yuan Shao's army has garrisons here, then let Zhang Yan and them go to the side to make trouble, anyway, it is to lure these garrisons away, and then control the defensive measures.
It is almost to follow the offensive route, take all the defensive measures, and be ready to fight and retreat at any time.
In fact, there is no technical content at all.
There is no effect of military strategy and intrigue, it is just a very ordinary advance.
But combined with the small skills used by Xu Shu in the face of various situations at that time, this strategy became the strategy of slowly swallowing Qingzhou.
It is equivalent to building cities and roads wherever you go, and directly turning the site into a part of your own construction.
It's hard to say if there are any miracles.
But steady is really stable.
And Xu Shu even sent a letter back to Yecheng, this letter was used to ask for help, if Yecheng still has a free legion, it is recommended to transfer it to help.
If it were someone else, it would probably be that Xu Shu was too unplanted.
If you replace it with Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.
He estimated that he would directly tell me 10,000 people, and I could surprise Yuan Shao to show you.
But Xu Shu is different, showing that he is old and steady.
What's even more interesting is that Xu Huang didn't feel that Xu Shu was cowardly, but felt that he would be conservative and steady to the end.
Chen Chen naturally received the news from Taishan County.
Liu Bei leaned next to him and looked at the letter again.
"Why did Yuan Zhi ask for help as soon as he passed?"
Liu Bei's first reaction was still flustered, he didn't expect that Xu Shu, who Chen Chen was so optimistic about, would be different from Guo Jia's style.
As the hero of one party, Liu Bei will naturally not look at people superficially.
It's just that he thinks that this may be Xu Shu's style, steady and steady.
"That's right, this guy."
Chen Chen shook the feather fan in his hand, sure enough, Xueba is Xueba, in fact, Chen Chen didn't expect that Xu Shu had just arrived in Jizhou, and he would be able to judge the situation and situation in Qingzhou so clearly, and make a decision that best meets the current needs and interests.
Could it be that he asked Xu Shu to go to Qingzhou just to solve Yuan Shao at this time?
Not really.
Chen Chen's real target is Yuan Tan, who is trapped in Jizhou, and Yuan Tan, who occupies Bohai County and some surrounding counties, is a problem that must be solved immediately.
Otherwise, if someone buries a bomb in the stomach that doesn't know when it will explode, even if you know that it will explode and appetize yourself, you will feel diaphragm.
So in fact, at this time, there is no need for the Dingyuan Army to directly confront Yuan Shao, in fact, the military strength of the Dingyuan Army alone is not enough to defeat Yuan Shaojun.
What the Dingyuan army wants is to combine with Zhang Yan's department to put pressure on Yuan Shao, but it must use the most secure and bluffing way.
forced Yuan Shao to move in that place in Qingzhou.
In this way, Liu Bei surrounded and eliminated Yuan Tan in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao could only watch his son, who was only across the sea, being erased.
After the unification of the three states, it will become an iron plate, and then the troops will be able to concentrate on pushing Yuan Shao.
Therefore, the task of the Dingyuan Army is to pacify Qingzhou, but it is better to say that it is a frontal disguise.
What they have to do is force Qingzhou and the surrounding forces to be contained.
As soon as Yuan Tan's forces are destroyed, it is time for the Dingyuan Army to untie the chains and begin to truly unleash its combat effectiveness.
Chen Chen never told Xu Shu about this, he actually wanted to see if the current Xu Shu's level had reached the strength of his debut in his previous life, if it was not enough, he would definitely let him practice for two more years.
As for Dan, he is worried about Xu Shu's blind command and let the Dingyuan army have an accident.
There's Brother Xu Huang here.
How could something happen?
Xu Huang is the god of the bottom.
And even if Xu Shu didn't see the situation outside the regional layout, and concentrated on tossing Yuan Shao there and making the whole Qingzhou make a fuss, in fact, the effect was almost the same, that is, the possible loss would be much greater than the steady progress of deterrence.
And there is a slight possibility that it could be overturned.
In fact, Chen Chen is still a little worried about this aspect, after all, Yuan Shao is the god of the old headwind situation.
At this time, no matter how you look at Yuan Shao, it seems that he is in a headwind situation, so he still needs to prevent Yuan Shao from suddenly exploding.
What's more, in fact, the strength in Yuan Shao's hands is not weak now, and there are still a lot of hole cards, so there is no need for his side to take risks.
Therefore, it can be said that Xu Shu's step-by-step strategic thinking is the most in line with Chen Chen's ideas and the layout of the entire group today.
Chen Chen explained this situation to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei suddenly realized.
"Then it seems that this pair of Xu is indeed extremely safe."
"Well, by the way, it's time to inform Long and Wenyuan of them, the Dingyuan army is in place, and it's almost time to start moving."
