Communication and transportation are always the two great shackles that hang around the neck of the empire.

Except for those mythological characters who can fly 90,000 miles into the sea at every turn, and can see the eight directions with a single thought, any ordinary person is in a disadvantageous state when faced with distant territorial distances and complex land conditions, even if he is an emperor who shocks the past and the present.

Having said that, if one day the gods of mythology really descend on this world, then these gods will still fight to death for the so-called lump of dirt in the mortal world according to the concept of ordinary people, and even do not hesitate to die? Isn't that the same as a peasant in the countryside who speculated that the emperor and his wife in the palace must have planted the land with a golden hoe, pushed a silver plough to plough the fields, and ate pancakes and green onions every day?

And Yang Biao is not an immortal, not even a second-rate general.

Therefore, when Fei Qian said that he wanted to use Tongguan to replace people, Yang Biao suddenly messed up.

This incident was too unexpected for Yang Biao.

It was not the first time Yang Biao had come to Tongguan, but he felt that Tongguan was like a shackle, hanging on his neck, so that he could not breathe smoothly.

Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, turned out to be a fraudulent death!

How could there be such a cunning, no, such shameless person!

Yang Biao even remembered that when he received the letter from Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, his hands trembled almost uncontrollably, and then he barely controlled his emotions for a long time, so as not to have a seizure on the spot.

Although the inside and outside of Tongguan, before Yang Biao entered the customs, it had been cleaned up, and it was no longer the appearance of stinking corpses all over the field, but even if there was no such smell at the moment, in Yang Biao's heart, there was still an indescribable disgust for Tongguan.

Previously, because of a plague, it led to the casualties of a whole batch of soldiers and horses, and many soldiers and horses were damaged for no reason, and then Huangfu Song was lost among them, and then Zhu Jun also fell, resulting in the remaining soldiers under Yang Biao There were no generals to command!

If there was still one person alive in Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, how could he fall into such an embarrassing situation!

The situation has changed dramatically, and there is no one to discuss. If the front army loses, then the original plan is meaningless, and it can only be to immediately change the goal of the operation.

Yang Jun was captured, and Hu Chuquan was obviously difficult to support alone, even if he escaped, it might not become a big climate, let alone fight in the south against the strong forces of the general Zhengxi, so no matter from that point of view, the battle for this piece of territory in Guanzhong has lost its original meaning, and now the only thing left is the north of Pingyang.

If you can make Pingyang in the north chaotic for a while, or have the opportunity to mobilize this part of the army located in Guanzhong Feiqian, for Yang Biao, there will be a new opportunity!

Therefore, the matter of substitution can only be pressed for the time being.

How many more days to wait?

Let's take a look at the changes in the situation in North Binh Duong.

In other words, what other forces can be combined to deal with this increasingly large and increasingly difficult to deal with Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi?

The sun was moving westward, the sky was gradually darkening, Yang Biao held the table with both hands, and did not move for a long time, like a wooden statue of a god, only in the darkness his eyes were still flashing, thinking......

………………………………

Yuan Shao was very happy, even a little excited. Because his current biggest opponent Gongsun Chan is still at sunset, under his encirclement, he is becoming more and more dejected, and he is about to fall into the abyss, and he is about to push him with the last force.

"The strategy of the south is really extraordinary! Now Gongsun Xiao'er is sitting and waiting to die! ”

Yuan Shao praised the trial with a smile, and was full of praise for the divisive strategy he proposed before.

If you want to borrow the power of Jizhou to use soldiers for Gongsun Zhan, you naturally have to borrow the power of the Jizhou scholars, so Yuan Shao is now full of generosity for judging a group of people, and Corporal Lixian naturally plays a good game.

The judge smiled slightly, and bowed his hand to Yuan Shao and said that he was modest, but his expression was very proud, his eyes narrowed, and he glanced at the people present on the side, obviously quite proud.

The problem between the lag of information and the transmission of information was actually a common phenomenon throughout the Han Dynasty, and Gongsun Chan was no exception.

The countermeasures against Gongsun Chan seem to be very wonderful, but they are actually very simple. To put it simply, it is to constantly pretend to be Gongsun Zhan's subordinates assigned in various places to deliver news for help in Yijing, for Gongsun Zhan, who does not have any administrative system at all, this kind of simple writing does not even have a means to discern......

Killing Liu Yu was certainly cool for a while, but the ensuing consequences were indeed unbearable for Gongsun Zhan. After Liu Yu's death, there was indeed no one who could restrain Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Chan also lost the civil and official structure that was originally relatively complete in Youzhou, resulting in Yuan Shao, who was comprehensively backward in people's livelihood and political affairs, and was judged to be a simple strategy, which made him anxious and unable to distinguish. There are messages asking for help everywhere, and it seems that there are beacons everywhere, so that Gongsun Chan can't distinguish the truth from the fake at all, so there is no talk of sending troops to rescue, and in the end, the place that was really attacked by Yuan Shao was also not rescued.

In addition, the trial also hyped that Gongsun Chan wanted to kill all the original Liu Yu's subordinates, which led to the end of Liu Yu's old department of the former Youzhou Mu, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou and others, elected Yan Rou as Wuhuan Sima, and then with the help of Wuhuan and other Hu people who had received Liu Yu's favor, they began to show their chariots and horses to fight against Gongsun Zhan, who killed Liu Yu, and fought with Gongsun Zhan's general Zou Dan in the north of the Lu River, broke his army, and killed more than 4,000 people including Zou Dan......

Under a series of blows, Gongsun Chan naturally went to the end more and more.

Perhaps in the eyes of Tai Shici and others, Gongsun Chan became more and more withdrawn, and seemed to have begun to abandon the loyal subordinates who originally followed him, but for Gongsun Chan, the lack of political points, although he was a little suspicious of the strategy of the trial, but he was unable to verify it, so he could only watch his subordinates become more and more alienated from him.

Obviously, the judge thinks that he has made a great contribution to this matter.

The complacent look fell on Yuan Shao's eyes, and Yuan Shao didn't care, but was even more happy.

In Yuan Shao's heart, his subordinates crushed and fought with each other, that was as it should be, if there was no fight between his subordinates, then these subordinates would inevitably climb on his head one day. The Yingchuan system, the Nanyang system, and the Jizhou system may have to join the Youzhou system in the future, after all, they must not let one side expand too much, and they must be controlled within a reasonable range to be conducive to their own jurisdiction and rule.

Yuan Shao learned this from his uncle.

Everything in heaven and earth needs to be balanced, and there is also a balance in the court, and there is even more balance in controlling the party.

Yin and yang are harmonious, and the square is the right way.

Therefore, Yuan Shao smiled and turned his head to ask Tian Feng about the resumption of production and the strengthening of commerce and trade in Jizhou, and expressed his affirmation and appreciation for Tian Feng's work in this area.

If you want to fight, you naturally need grain and grass, even if Yuan Shao has the intention to completely sweep Gongsun Zan off the stage of competition, he also needs to accumulate some grain and grass, otherwise even if the victory is big, there is no way to lay the victory.

In the past two years, Jizhou has tossed a lot of old foundations, although it is not like a subordinate general ten rooms and nine empty, but because of the continuous war, not only to pay taxes, but also to be arrested for labor, and even directly taken away as soldiers, so the people of Jizhou have many townships and counties The population has decreased sharply, and some places have become barren, which was unimaginable before.

In addition, there was a locust plague before, although the main outbreak point was in Yanzhou Qingzhou, but Jizhou was also somewhat affected, so although Yuan Shao was eager to attack Gongsun Zhan, he had to settle down first and accumulate strength.

Seeing that Yuan Shaoxing was rising, although Guo Tu Fengji and others were a little unhappy with the appearance of the trial, especially Fengji, who was originally not dealing with the trial, and now they felt that the appearance of the trial was very eye-catching, but it was not easy to refute directly, so they could only lower their eyebrows and brush their beards, just as they were out of sight and out of mind.

Guo Tu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Ming Gong, do you know that Si is under the Yang clan, and raise troops to the west?" ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment and said, "The Yang clan raised troops again?" That's right...... If there is any news from the public rule, you may as well say it bluntly......"

Guo Tu arched his hand slowly, but did not answer immediately, but took advantage of the cover of his sleeve to quickly turn his head and glance at Tian Feng.

Tian Feng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he was a little understanding.

"Duke Ming, since the Yang family welcomed the Son of Heaven, it has been more false than the Son of Heaven, and it has the heart of the Quartet...... Guo Tu said, "Now that the Yang family is leading the troops to the west, there is a change in a suspicious pass, so people will inquire in many ways, and they will know that the general of the expedition to the west is Fei, and the rumors ...... Deceased......"

"Huh?" When Yuan Shao heard this, he almost stood up, "Is this true?" ”

"I see!" Tian Feng said, "The Yang clan must have noticed that Zhengxi was dead, so they rushed to take Guanzhong'er...... Ming Gong, taking this opportunity, might as well send a general, go out of Hanoi, subordinate to the subordinates, and welcome the return of the Son of Heaven...... If not, when the Yang family takes Guanzhong, he will become one with Si Li, and there will be grain and grass to the east and north of the river, so that the great cause of Ming Gong will ......"

Yuan Shao frowned deeply.

Tian Feng had admonished Yuan Shao before and asked him to welcome the Son of Heaven into Jizhou, but Yuan Shao finally vetoed it, but now Yuan Shao has gradually realized the disadvantages of being controlled by others.

But Tian Feng talked about it and mentioned welcoming the Son of Heaven again, Yuan Shao was still a little unhappy in his heart.

Although it is possible that the Yang clan will be like Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others, once again set up the Son of Heaven and coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven, but Yuan Shao doesn't care too much, anyway, it is not once or twice to resist the order of the Son of Heaven before, although it was in the Dong Zhuo period at that time, but as far as the Yang family will be different, they are still willing to listen to it, and if they are not willing to listen, they will not listen.

Guo Tu also frowned a little. He originally saw that Tian Feng meant to use this matter to pull Yuan Shao out of the aspect of focusing on the trial, and at the same time show that although he did not make any outstanding contributions on the northern line, he was still very effective in the work around the southern line, but he didn't expect Tian Feng, an old stubborn, to pull back the proposal of Yingtianzi, which was originally vetoed by Yuan Shao......

If Yuan Shao is really willing to welcome the Son of Heaven, does he still need you Tian Feng to ramble so many times?

Feng Ji, as a strategist who followed Yuan Shao relatively early, knew Yuan Shao's character well, and when he saw Yuan Shao frowning, he immediately understood, although he didn't have much friendship with Guo Tu, and even had some resistance to Guo Tu's friendship with the Jizhou Shi clan and the practice of mingling, but after all, it was also a neighboring county with Guo Tu, and to put it mildly, it could be regarded as a southern faction, so when he saw that Guo Tu intended to pull Yuan Shao out of the place where he praised and praised the northern faction, he also cooperated: "Ming Gong, the Yang family's march into Guanzhong this time should not be taken lightly!" As the public rule and Yuan Hao worried, if the Guanzhong Division is connected to the east of the river and the north, this will have people, grain and grain, and the name of the Son of Heaven in hand, we will be in danger...... In a certain opinion......"

"According to a certain opinion...... Feng Ji praised Guo Tu Tianfeng on the one hand, and successfully attracted Yuan Shao's attention on the other hand, and then said, "You can order the general to lead a partial army, enter Zhongmu, go to Taihang, take Taiyuan Shangdang first, and then take the north!" If the Yang clan takes the pass, the Ming Duke can also control the north and the south, so that he can be safe. ”

Guo Tu glanced at Feng Ji, then nodded as well, and said, "Ming Gong, what Yuan Tu said is very true. Even if the Yang clan takes Guanzhong, it needs to stabilize the three auxiliaries in a short period of time, and it is unable to conquer and conquer the north, so if it is to send troops to Taiyuan Shangdang, the south can take Hedong Broken Tong Pass, the west can enter and take Pingyang in the north, and the east can even Hanoi to control Yanzhou, which has a hundred benefits and no harm, which is really the best policy. ”

Tian Feng opened his mouth, then sighed slightly and stopped talking.

Yuan Shao frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "...... Meng De came to ask for help at the moment...... If you want to allocate this force...... Well...... There will be no surplus......"

Although Cao Cao regained some territory, a locust plague in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, caused Cao Cao to be unable to counterattack, so he had to hug Yuan Shao's thigh again, trying to borrow some soldiers to destroy Lu Bu.

Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's hair, this relationship is naturally known to everyone, so everyone looked left and right, no one said anything to make Yuan Shao not send troops to support Cao Cao, although the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is now if it is about to leave, but in case the relationship is good again, then at this time it is recommended not to send troops, and in the future, wouldn't it be a basin to buckle your head?

Yuan Shao looked left and right, and saw that everyone didn't speak, and he had some numbers in his heart, but how could he do it without giving advice?

So Yuan Shao named him: "Yuan Hao, what do you mean?" "Why ask Tian Feng, because although Tian Feng sometimes doesn't speak very well, Yuan Shao also knows that if he asks him, he will definitely tell the truth and will not discount it because of selfishness.

Tian Feng was helpless, so he had to arch his hand and say, "This ...... Ming Gong, you need to focus on the great cause......"

"Great cause? Hmm......" Yuan Shao nodded and pondered.
