Chapter 130: Tong Yuan's Xun Wenruo
Xu Huang listened to Wei Qi's words, reacted, and said, "Is Mr. Wei's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao?" β
Wei Qi smiled, "Exactly." Zhang Yang is Yuan Shao's vassal and a buffer force with us. For us, keeping Zhang Yang can avoid direct confrontation with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. But isn't it the same for Yuan Shaolai? β
"Our army can completely ask to meet with Zhang Yang and ask the court traitor, Lu Bu's whereabouts. However, in order to prevent Lu Bu or other thieves from making a rebellion, of course, our army must bring troops and horses, but it will not exceed 10,000 people, so that the strength is less than that of the other party, and it will not show the situation of annexing him. β
Zhang Yang may meet or stick to it, and at this special moment, he will inevitably ask Yuan Shao and Cao Cao for help. And our army is stationed in Hanoi and Shangdang, and it can also be rescued by Yu Yu and Hushou. If Yuan Shao attacks, we will withdraw again. β
"The more soldiers and horses on the other side, the greater the logistical pressure, and the weaker the rear defense, of course, it is inconvenient to stay away from Jizhou and enter the Taihang Mountains to pursue. In this way, our division became famous, and it did not avoid stretching the front. β
After Wei Qi finished, the audience was silent. The mind reacted quickly, quickly understood what it meant, and admired Wei Qian. Those who are a little dull and can't keep up with the train of thought are also trying their best to digest the details and carefully savor this high-level analysis.
After a while, the sound of praise rang out everywhere. Even Xu Rong felt that this operation was really a must, and it was completely through clever methods to achieve difficult strategic goals.
Tong Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Wei is really my Xun Wenruo." Ah, no, it's Zhang Zifang. β
Many dreadnought generals didn't know who Xun Wenruo was at the beginning, and later changed his name to Zhang Zifang, and they all suddenly became enlightened, it turned out that he was a god like Zhang Liang. Even the two people from the Pei family looked at Wei Qi with a little envy in their eyes.
Wei Qi was slightly surprised, and said, "The lord praised it." And Mr. Zifang, it's Yingchuan Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, and I don't talk about it. β
Tong Yuan believes that in the past six months, Wei Qi has shown the strongest administrative coordination ability in the entire team, especially the ability to enforce the law impartially. In terms of military affairs, he also has a strategic vision, and this time the plan to encircle Zhang Yang and save him from poison has opened everyone's eyes again.
He believed that under his men, Wei Qi might really be able to compare with Xun Yu. As for how future generations will evaluate it, it is impossible to judge at present, but at least let Wei Qi fully exert his abilities in all aspects.
Xu Huang also suggested that he could slow down the speed during the retreat and ambush the pursuing Yuan Shaojun in the Taihang Mountains.
Based on his experience, Xu Rong believed that it was best to choose a valley with narrow terrain and inconvenient troop deployment, introduce a large number of enemy troops and horses, and then ambush and smash the Chinese army directly, so as to win a complete victory.
Tong Yuan added that he could let the newly formed dual-purpose fleet of transport and combat intercept and kill the distress messenger sent by Zhang Yang in the direction of Cao Cao, and deliberately let Yuan Shao send troops to rescue, but Cao Cao did not move. In this way, the relationship between the three parties is ruined.
He thought that Lu Bu was Cao Cao who attacked from Zhang Yang's side, and he could completely lay out the relationship between Zhang Yang and Cao Cao at this stage.
Everyone put forward various suggestions, and after the final discussion and supplementation, they followed Wei Qi's plan.
β¦β¦
From May to June, Yuan Shaojun showed irresistible strength. More than ten troops in the southern part of the Montenegrin Army, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses were repeatedly defeated and ravaged by Yuan Shao.
In desperation, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao and others could only flee north to their original territory, leaving Yu Poison, Zuo Zhangba and Jizhou Muhushou to hold on in the mountains.
I don't want the heavy infantry under Ju Yi to be not only well-equipped, but also good at all-terrain combat, and can still arrange various flexible formations when entering the mountains, and can defeat the soldiers with poison and other losses.
Yuan Shao got the news at this time that Tong Yuan, who occupied Hedong, led nearly 10,000 men and horses into Hanoi County, saying that he wanted to find out the whereabouts of LΓΌ Bu and asked Zhang Yang to meet with him.
Zhang Yang was originally a bold person, but three years ago, he was coerced by the Xiongnu Yufuluo, lost his foundation, and plundered everywhere. Fortunately, Cao Cao rescued him and Yuan Shao took care of him, so he was able to escape and return to Hanoi and Shangdang.
But he was swaying in his heart, and he didn't dare to openly oppose Dong Zhuo and Xiliangjun like Yuan Shao. He wrote to Dong Zhuo again, expressing his obedience to the arrangement. Of course, Dong Zhuo was happy to accept it, so he officially appointed Zhang Yang as the Taishou of Hanoi through the imperial court.
Therefore, instead of Zhang Yang being a prince on one side, it is better for him to ride the buffer between the various factions.
Emotionally, he fell to Yuan Shao, but he was afraid of the Xiliang army, so he was willing to contact trade and maintain transportation. In addition, he also had a friendship with Lu Bu, accepted Lu Bu, and introduced him to Yuan Shao, which was not only a refuge, but also allowed him to develop.
Historically, he later welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Anyi, Hedong, was named the Great Sima, and built the Luoyang Palace, which can be regarded as a prestige.
It's a pity that his strength is too weak, and because he supports Lu Bu and fights Cao Cao, he is really a mantis arm. Later, he was killed by his subordinates in rebellion, and Hanoi County was also controlled by Cao Cao before the Battle of Guandu.
Now, with his already weak heart, coupled with the shadow of the last coercion, of course he didn't dare to go out of the city to meet Tong Yuan. However, he also sent an envoy to express his willingness to broker peace talks between the two sides. As for Lu Bu's situation, he didn't know.
Secretly, he hurriedly sent several groups of messengers to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to ask for help.
However, on the Yellow River, there is a fleet of ships with a very good level of boating. cut off the connection between Zhang Yang and Yanzhou.
Therefore, Cao Cao did not cross the Yellow River to rescue Zhang Yang when the information was unknown.
Yuan Shao's original intention, of course, was to completely eradicate the poison first, and then solve the little-known Tong Yuan. But in this case, he also wanted to gather the military generals around him to solicit everyone's opinions.
Yuan Shao learned the lesson of the previous time this time, handed over Yecheng to the reliable trial match, Zhang He guard, and his eldest son Yuan Tan led a mobile army to supervise the battle in various places. As for Zhang Yan in the north, he handed it over to someone who could definitely deal with him to guard against.
The rest of the generals such as Ju Yi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Ran and Tao Sheng, who had just surrendered, were more than a dozen generals. The stars are shining on the civilian side, and Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, etc., basically all go out with the army.
Everyone had already learned about the situation on Zhang Yang's side, so Fu Zhu took the lead in speaking.
He was once the commander of Jizhou, and now he holds the position of general in the army, he is proficient in strategy, civil affairs, foreign affairs, military affairs and other affairs, and is the most prominent among the military generals.
"Tong Yuan is following Wei Wei's plan to save Zhao, there must be people around him who are good at strategy. Judging from the previous times and this operation, the Western Liang Army had already reached an alliance with the Montenegrin Army, and they included Gongsun Zhan in the north, Tao Qian in the east, and Yuan Highway in the south, trying to form a large net to surround us. β
"Breaking the fence is the most taboo to try around, but not trying to do a corner. Our army has broken Sun Zan in the past two years, but it has not been able to completely defeat him. This time, the Montenegrin army came again, and our army broke it, but it was not yet complete. If the poison still exists, next year Tong Yuan will join the Huns to plunder, and then Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian will return to ......"
"In this way, our army is trapped in a corner after all, and it may be difficult to sweep away the group and support the Han family. Therefore, our army should attack Yu Poison with all its might, and then rescue Zhang Yang. β
Yuan Shao had followed the advice of Fu Zhi before, and now after listening to it, he was more satisfied and said, "Mr. Fu said before, first sweep the Black Mountain, then capture the white horse, and then pacify the Xiongnu."
Merge the forces of the four states, gather the heroes, and go to Chang'an to greet the son. Judging by the present, our army is advancing in this direction. β
As a result, he showed a very enlightened appearance and asked, "I know that everyone has people who want to save Zhang Yang, why not analyze it?" β
Fu Zhu was slightly surprised, since the lord has always remembered his strategic analysis and practiced it to this day, why should he ask Zhang Yang's opinion again?
At this time, Yuan Shao's heart was already thinking about winning over the Shi clans from all over the country and balancing the Hebei Shi clan. If he doesn't care about Zhang Yang for the time being, in case Zhang Yang is destroyed, he will lose a lot. Because, it is not easy for the Hanoi Shi clan to do it.
Although Yuan Shao is the third prince of the fourth world, he is a concubine after all, and the one who competes with him in the south for the Kanto region is the son-in-law. Therefore, Yuan Shao cared very much about cultivating his moral reputation, and worked hard to win over all the scholars.
At present, a group of Hebei scholars represented by Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Feng Ji, Xian Pei, and Xin Ping have assisted him.
In addition, Xun Chen and Guo Tu of Yingchuan. Although these two people are from famous families, they can't suppress the Hebei Shi clan regardless of their ability or power.
If he wants to balance the Hebei Shi Clan, he needs the support of more Yingchuan Shi Clan, but he can't win them at the moment. The rest are the scholars of Hanoi and Hedong, who have both reputation and ability, but also are relatively close.
However, the Western Liang Army emerged Dong Bai and Tong Yuan, which not only occupied the land in Hedong, but also received the support of some Hedong scholars. He Yuan Shao prides himself on being the leader of the Shi clan, how can he let the Hanoi Shi clan in front of him be snatched away by others?
Sure enough, Chun Yuqiong, the head of the generals and from Yingchuan, stood up.
"I've been fighting for decades, and it's not enough to pacify one side by talking and looking at a map. Just imagine that our army can indeed ignore Hanoi and its friends, and concentrate on killing poison. β
"According to Mr. Fu's assumption, you can also follow the southern forces of the Montenegrin Army all the way to the north. Wipe out Liu Shi, Qing Niujiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Yigen, and so on who were defeated by us. Then go north to Jingcheng to fight a decisive battle with Zhang Yan and destroy him in one battle. β
Fu Zhi knew that Chun Yuqiong was going to oppose him, but he still replied with a righteous attitude, "That's right, may I ask General Chun Yu, if you continue to fight like this, you can let the lord decide all parties fairly, what's wrong?" β
"Uh, this...... Of course, there is a problem with this. Here's the problem...... It can't be so simple to extrapolate. I've been on the border with North Korea, and if it were that simple, it would have been too peaceful. β
Chun Yuqiong's eloquence is certainly not as good as frustration. But he has qualifications and experience, and Yuan Shao gave him support and asked him to balance the Hebei people.
Yuan Shao knew that Chun Yuqiong would have nothing to do if he went down, and he didn't know that he wanted to win over the Hanoi Shi clan to check and balance the Hebei Shi clan.
