Chapter 452: The Messenger (3)
Once upon a time, the Jingchu Yishi was the most powerful force against the Jin State, followed by the 'Jiangzhong Yishi' including the Changsha Yishi, Jiangxia Yishi, and Yuzhang Yishi, and finally the Jiangdong Yishi who was better than nothing.
Because of this, the various strategies formulated by the righteous teachers, such as the Changsha Yishi and Jingchu Yishi meeting in Nanyang, and the participating teachers in Liangcheng, the southern capital, are actually mainly the cooperation strategies between Jingchu Yishi and Jiangdong Yishi.
And now, Jiangdong Yishi has sprung up, and the other party is not satisfied with continuing to adopt the previous strategy, and even faintly has the intention of preparing to break away from the control of Jingchu Yishi and stand on his own.
Looking at the strategy of that 'Mr. Ram', he obviously wanted to 'split the territory' with the Jin State, rather than putting 'uniting the righteous men of the world to overthrow the violent Jin' in the first place.
Although Mr. Ram explained this, he thought that the Jin Kingdom was a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, and could not be replaced overnight, but Chen Miao still saw the calculation of Jiangdong Yishi.
Chen Miao believed that the envoy sent by Jing Chu to Jiangdong was probably not only expelled by Zhao Zhang because he had repeatedly disagreed with Zhao Qushuai and Mr. Ram, but the two sides were likely to have serious disagreements over the strategy of Jiangdong Yishi, and in the end, Zhao Zhang made his attitude clear by expelling the envoy - that is, he was unwilling to be controlled by Jing Chu.
It is undeniable that the Taiping Dao behind Jing Chu Yishi has ulterior motives, but from the current point of view, it seems that Zhao Zhang, the Qu Shuai of Jiangdong Yishi, and Mr. Ram and others who gave advice to him, are not selfless......
"A plate of loose sand, a plate of loose sand."
Chen Miao sighed secretly.
After sighing, he said to Huang Yun with a straight face: "Zimei, I roughly understand what you mean. You, Jiangdong, will use troops against Jiyin in the near future, and I hope that we and others will advance together...... If when Jiangdong captured Jiyin, Jingchu and Jiangzhong had not yet captured Henan and Yingchuan, and had not formed a trap on the southern capital Liangcheng, Jiangdong would take the land of Mount Tai and Shandong to the east, but so? ”
Seeing that Chen Miao made his words clear, Huang Yun hesitated slightly, and finally nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Miao thought for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Zimei, are you going back to Jiangdong Yishi next, or will you stay here for a few days?" ”
Huang Yun thought for a while, nodded and said, "I will stay for a while." ”
From the side, Guan Shuo was a little strange Chen Miao's sudden inquiry, until he heard Huang Yun's answer, he seemed to think of something, his color changed slightly, and a few traces of anger flashed in his eyes.
Chen Miao noticed Guan Shuo's demeanor, shook his head at him slightly, and then said to Huang Yun with a pleasant face: "Zimei, I will arrange a place for you and Brother Zhang Ji to stay in the camp first, and it just so happens that I will also discuss with Guan Shuai......
Huang Yun obviously guessed something, and said with interest: "There is Lao Chen Shuai." ”
Chen Miao was noncommittal, and after smiling slightly, he summoned his own guards and instructed the latter to arrange accommodation for Huang Yun and Zhang Ji.
Seeing the two of them walking away, Chen Miao turned his head to Guan Shuo and said: "Jiangdong is unwilling to join forces to attack Liangcheng, the southern capital, but has sent envoys, I want to see if we are worthy of their ...... 'support'." ”
At the end, he laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Hmph." Guan Shuo sneered again and again, and said with a little anger: "Or, is there any value in use." ”
As the commander of the Changsha Volunteer Division, his strategic insights are no less than Chen Miao's, and he naturally saw the Jiangdong Volunteer Division's calculations - he wanted to divide the territory and recuperate, but he didn't want to be too eye-catching, so he more or less wanted to 'promote' the friendly troops on the West Road and the Middle Road, hoping that the Jingchu Volunteer Division and the Jiangzhong Volunteer Division would share some pressure for Jiangdong.
This kind of scheming selfish behavior made Guan Shuo extremely unhappy.
"Jing Chu's Taiping Dao should not be difficult for Jiangdong."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Miao said.
"......" Guan Shuo nodded slightly, without doubting Chen Shuo's judgment.
You must know that now, Jing Chu Yishi is blocked in Nanyang, and his Jiangdong Yishi has not captured Yingchuan, Chenjun, and Chenliu counties for a long time.
At this point, how could the Taiping Dao behind Jing Chu Yishi break with Jiangdong Yishi and destroy the united camp of the 'anti-Jin Yishi'?
In Guan Shuo's view, the Taiping Dao behind Jing Chu's righteous master will definitely try his best to win over Jiangdong Yishi, and even privately promise Jiangdong more benefits, so as not to destroy the common camp of 'anti-Jin Yishi'.
"What do you think?" Guan Shuo asked Chen Miao.
Chen Miao thought for a while and said, "Let's focus on the overall situation first." …… You take Yingchuan, and then help Jingchu to seize Henan, I will Runan, take Chenjun and Chenliu as soon as possible, Jiangdong should have taken Jiyin, and the three parties will work together to capture Liangcheng, the southern capital, as for the future...... Let Jiangdong go to take the land of Mount Tai and Shandong. This is the best option right now. ”
"Hmm......" Guan Shuo frowned and thought for a long time, nodded and said, "Indeed." However, it will take a long time. ”
Chen Miao sighed and nodded, and then said: "Be open and honest, explain the situation here to Huang Yun and Zhang Ji, and let them tell Jiangdong that it will take time for the righteous teachers on the West Road and the Middle Road to ......."
"Aren't you afraid that Jiangdong will go to seek Mount Tai and Shandong?" Guan Shuo asked with a frown.
Chen Miao shook his head and said: "Since that Mr. Ram has been able to defeat Han Yan repeatedly, and even Zhang Jing doesn't take it seriously, it can be seen that he must be a person with foresight, and since he is a person with foresight, he will naturally intend to promote his fellow Taoist teachers to prevent his Jiangdong from provoking the jealousy of the Jin Kingdom too much...... To put it mildly, if Jing Chu and Jiangzhong were defeated early, would he Jiangdong be able to face the Jin Kingdom alone? ”
Guan Shuo nodded approvingly.
The two discussed it, and immediately sent someone to invite Huang Yun and Zhang Ji again.
After seeing Huang Yun and Zhang Ji again, Chen Miao said with a smile: "Are you two still satisfied with the accommodation arrangement?" …… The camp is simple, please bear with the two of you. ”
Huang Yun said with a smile: "Where is it, Chen Shuai is serious. ”
After a few words of greeting, Chen Miao invited Huang Yun and Zhang Ji to sit down, and immediately pointed to Guan Shuo, who was sitting on the side, and said to the two: "Fang Cai, I discussed with Guan Shuai and decided to cooperate with Jiangdong's strategy. ”
He told Huang Yun and Zhang Ji the results of the discussion between Fang Cai and Guan Shuo, and then said with a little embarrassment: "However, it will take a while, and at present, there are some troubles here." ”
Huang Yun and Zhang Ji glanced at each other, and asked quietly, "I don't know what trouble the two Qu Shuai encountered?" ”
Seeing this, Chen Miao did not hide it, and said truthfully: "Jing Chu Yishi, at the moment, he is on par with the Nanyang army, and it is difficult to win in a short period of time, Guan Shuai originally wanted to support Jing Chu and attack Nanyang, but he never thought that he suffered some setbacks in Kunyang last year......"
He briefly explained the battle of Kunyang last year, and considering Guan Shuo's face, he attributed the reason for Guan Shuo's defeat to the weather.
Huang Yun was very surprised when he heard this: "This Kunyang can actually repel Guan Shuai's Changsha righteous teacher?" ”
Guan Shuo was embarrassed by Huang Yun and Zhang Ji, and said vaguely: "Guan underestimated that Zhou Tiger ......"
"Zhou Hu?" Huang Yun was even more surprised: "Who is that?" ”
Seeing this, Guan Shuo explained in a deep voice: "That Zhou Hu is the leader of a group of Ying mountain thieves in Kunyang, and his thieves call themselves 'Black Tigers', and it is said that the local county government has been encircling and suppressing them for several years. This person was originally Yang Tong's subordinate, and after Yang Tong's death, this person was elected as the leader by the thieves. After Guan Shuai led the righteous division to attack Yingchuan, Zhou Hu surrendered to Yingchuan County, and led the Kunyang army and people to be the enemy of our righteous division, and Guan did not notice it for a certain time, so he ......"
Huang Yun's face was full of surprise when he heard this: "A mere thief has such ability? ”
On the side, Zhang Ji's face also showed a look of confusion.
"Zhou Hu? Is there such a person in Kunyang County? When the second son built the Luye Freemasonry, he had never heard of it. It's that Yang Tong...... I seem to have heard Uncle Cao talk about it back then, but I don't have any impression, so I shouldn't be talking about any powerful people."
Confused, he couldn't help but ask: "That Zhou Hu, is it really as powerful as Guan Shuai said?" ”
may not have expected Zhang Ji to suddenly speak, Huang Yun was stunned for a moment, while Guan Shuo's face sank, and he said a little unhappily: "Brother Zhang Ji thinks Guan Mou is open-mouthed? ”
"No, no, no, Guan Shuai misunderstood."
Without waiting for Zhang Ji to speak, Huang Yun hurriedly glanced at Zhang Ji.
He didn't understand why Zhang Ji questioned Guan Shuo.
At this time, Zhang Ji also realized that his words were misunderstood by Guan Shuo, so he hugged his fists and explained: "Guan Shuai misunderstood, not to question Guan Shuai, but to be surprised that a Kunyang County would have such a character......
From Zhang Ji's tone, Chen Miao could hear that the former might have a little contempt for Kunyang County, which made him feel very strange.
He said tentatively: "Listening to Brother Zhang Ji's words, it seems that you know a lot about Kunyang?" ”
Only then did Zhang Ji realize that he had slipped his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's just...... A little understanding. ”
"This Zhang Ji, isn't it from Zhao Zhang's side? …… I thought he was also from Xiapi, but now it seems that he ......
Chen Miao and Guan Shuo glanced at each other, and they were both a little curious about the origin of this Zhang Ji.
And at this moment, a soldier suddenly entered, clasped his fists and said: "Two Qu Shuai, there are envoys from Nanyang who want to see them, and they are still the two from before." ”
『…… Damn it.'"
Guan Shuo exhaled rather depressedly: "Call them in." ”
From the side, Huang Yun heard it strangely, and couldn't help but ask, "Nanyang's envoy?" ”
Chen Miao pondered for a moment and explained in a low voice: "It's true that it's Nanyang's envoy, but now it's ...... to act as the envoy of that Zhou Hu."
Due to the rush of time, he briefly explained to Huang Yun and Zhang Ji, and the two of them knew that Zhou Hu had colluded with his righteous teacher in private.
"While serving in Yingchuan County, while colluding with the righteous teacher, this Zhou Hu does not seem to be a simple character......
Zhang Ji thought secretly.
A moment later, Dong Er and He Shun, who had gone and returned, handed over another letter to Guan Shuo on behalf of Zhao Yu.
There is nothing else in the letter, but Zhao Yu asked Guan Shuo and Chen Miao to discuss the matter of the subordinate in person in the boat on the Shahe River tonight.
Guan Shuo discussed with Chen Miao and agreed.
