Chapter 097: Black Mountain Zhang Yan (1)
A few days later, Kyushu was shaken, and an edict from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty almost reappointed more than half of the princes of the Dong Alliance at that time.
After Lu Bu learned the news, he didn't dare to be careless, and found Jia Xu who was in Jinyang at the moment overnight to discuss countermeasures.
Jia Xu was as calm as ever, and said: "This poisonous plan is indeed Li Ru's style, but there should be a back move, and that back move should be his real purpose." ”
"Well, I think so. Such a simple letter of appointment can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and I am afraid that no one will really take it to office. Lu Bu chuckled.
"No, no, no." Jia Xu shook his head, "This is exactly the cleverness of this trick, everyone can see that this is to provoke the relationship between the princes from all walks of life, but it is also in the hands of many people." ”
"Oh? Is it really possible that someone will come to work? Lu Bu wondered.
"It's not possible, but it's certain, just say that the appointment of Yuan Shao as the pastor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao has huge ambitions, although his ability is insufficient, but there is no shortage of ministers and generals under his command, with the assistance of these people, Yuan Shao will be able to replace Han Fu sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. The appearance of this edict just gave Yuan Shao a nominal opportunity, an opportunity to crusade against Han Fu in an open and honest manner, how do you think Yuan Shao would let go of such a good opportunity? For example, Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, Cao Cao, and Cao Mengde are all like rootless people at this moment, and with this edict, they can establish a foundation and develop their forces in the region. ”
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Why did Dong Zhuo do this? Isn't this making a wedding dress for someone else? ”
Jia Xu also fell into deep thought: "As the official said, Li Ru must have a backhand for this plan. At this time, Xiliang has been decided, and the passes near Chang'an are all heavily guarded, and the Xiliang army can be described as an iron bucket, is it ......?"
As if thinking of something, his hand twisting his beard suddenly pulled off one, but he didn't notice it, "Lord, his target is exactly me and the state!" ”
"Is this coming?" Lu Bu had expected that Dong Zhuo would be the first to attack him, so he had been making sufficient preparations to deal with Dong Zhuo for this period of time.
"Well, the big war should not start until the rest of the world is in chaos. But from now on, our troubles are bound to follow. ”
"The liquor we make has now made a name for itself in Bingzhou, and the layout of the hotel is gradually spreading."
"This is thanks to the operation of the eldest lady to be so smooth, the general is really blessed, the two beautiful women are both heroines who do not let the eyebrows go. The nurse medical team and the wolf warrior special forces on the second lady's side have been prepared and can be used at any time. Jia Xu rarely slapped a sycophant.
Hearing Jia Xu praise the two women he loved, he was much happier than winning a battle, and after being happy, he then asked, "What happened to the Wujin Mountain and the grassland?" ”
"The current development of the Wujin cottage is also going well, Mr. Arida is leading, Liao and the two generals are assisting in everything properly, the gold mining is also going well, and I have also been in contact with the Zhen family, and I have reservations to trade with them."
Jia Xu paused and then said: "There are two Mr. Xun in the grassland, Budugen is quite honest, this time Guo Jia and Liu Ba went to trade horses and gained a lot, and they are on the way back at the moment." But ......"
"But what?" When he heard that everything was going well, Young Master Lu was originally a little proud, but Jia Xu's turn made his heart a little pinched.
Jia Xu continued slowly: "There is news that after Ma Teng was driven out of Xiliang and headed for my state, it should take less than half a month to arrive in Jinyang City. ”
"Ma Teng, he was defeated so quickly?" Lu Bu was a little unexpected.
Jia Xu nodded and explained: "Li Ru personally led the army to Xiliang, first hid in the shadows and separated Ma Teng and Han Sui, and then recruited Han Sui to beat Ma Teng away. More than 200 people from the Ma clan were slaughtered except for a dozen people. It can be said that Ma Teng has become a lost dog at this time. ”
"I can't imagine that Ma Teng Hero I will suffer such a catastrophe." Lu Bu shook his head, feeling a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
"Ma Teng is loyal and brave, but his personality is too upright, such a shame and humiliation will definitely not give up, I am afraid that this time I came to Jinyang for this matter, Mr. has a clever plan?"
"There is a foolish strategy, although Xiliang has settled down again, but after all, the Ma clan has also been operating in Xiliang for many years, has a deep foundation, and his son Ma Chao is brave, and is known as the title of Shenweitian General among Qianghu. issued a document to inform the world, exposing the fact that Dong Zhuo was overbearing, and then made a posture to raise an army to coerce Chang'an, one of them; In the spring of the next year, the lord can send a strange army to go deep into Xiliang with Ma Teng, mainly to harass and plunder, and follow the example of the lord who galloped on the grassland before, and secondly; Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet winter, an elite division was sent to seize the three counties of Hedong, Hanoi, and Hongnong. After Jia Xu finished speaking, he looked at Lu Bu with a smile.
Lu Bu pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Sir, I'm afraid there are still fourth." ”
"Hahaha, don't blame the lord, and please guess." Jia Xu sold Guan Zidao.
"I guess Mr. Wenhe's real purpose should be Jizhou, right?" Lu Bu asked confidently.
Jia Xu laughed heartily and said, "Sure enough, the lord saw through it." I and the state is barren, although I have the world's unparalleled cavalry, but I can't support more troops, the crusade against Dong Zhuo is not a day's work, although the three counties of Hedong, Hanoi, and Hongnong are also rich, but after all, it is not enough to guarantee the supply of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Then the neighboring rich land is Jizhou. And Jizhou Han Fu is indecisive, and there are tigers and wolves like Yuan Shao in the hinterland, even if our army does not get involved, he will inevitably be unable to hold back, in this case, why not let our army take the lead? ”
Lu Bu shook his head and sighed: "Wen He is really powerful, he came up with such a clever plan in an instant. But how should this Jizhou be captured? If it is early, it will be criticized by the world, and if it is late, it will be the first to be taken. ”
"The lord is auspicious, and he has the blessing of God." Jia Xu suddenly said thoughtlessly.
Lu Bu knew that literati were easy to sell, and only after satisfying their vanity first did he be willing to say his words in detail. So Lu Bu stood up and saluted respectfully to Jia Xu and said, "I hope Mr. will give you advice!" ”
Lu Bu pleaded so earnestly for advice, and finally satisfied Jia Xu's little vanity, although he is not good at fame and fortune, but the feeling of longing to be taken seriously, in modern terms, is hypocrisy.
With his ability, he is an absolute top talent in any force, but there are too many talents on Lu Bu's side.
Let's not talk about the famous Erxun, Tian Yuanhao of Julu, and even Guo Fengxiao and Liu Zichu in the younger generation, they can definitely be called the pride of the sky.
What's more, Lu Bu himself is also a resourceful person, so in this case, Jia Xu's calm state of mind also fluctuated slightly, and he gradually had a trace of competitiveness.
Of course, Lu Bu had already noticed this, and he was happy to see it come to fruition.
After all, this kind of healthy competition is very necessary for a powerful group, and it is possible to improve the ability of each member through this kind of competition, and then achieve the overall improvement of power.
Jia Xu stopped selling Guan Zi and said, "Do you remember what I just said about the gold mine in the Ugin Mountains, and we have already had some contact with the Zhen family?" ”
Lu Bu was inspired and said, "You mean Zhongshan?" Changshan? ”
Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "The lord is wise." General Zilong's family is a big family in Changshan, and the Zhao family and the Zhen family of Zhongshan Wuji are in-laws, although the Zhen family is ...... But after all, the relationship is still there. Now our army can once again strengthen cooperation with the Zhen family by virtue of the gold mine matter. In this way, the two counties of Changshan and Zhongshan have become the things in the pocket of my and the state. ”
Seeing Lu Bu nodding, Jia Xu continued: "And the most important purpose of obtaining Changshan County is the Black Mountain Yellow Turban. ”
"Are you talking about Zhang Yan's troops?"
"That's right, the Black Mountain Army has been entrenched in Changshan for several years, and was appointed as the general of the Ping Nan Zhonglang when Emperor Ling, and now it has grown to tens of thousands, and there are millions of Yellow Turbans under its command. My lord, my state is vast and sparsely populated, not to mention the tens of thousands of people who have become combat power, these millions of civilians alone are a relief to our army's situation at this time. ”
"Huh, more than a million?" Lu Bu gasped, this is a huge number, and the meaning behind this number is too significant.
As Jia Xu said, after a period of development, Bingzhou has abundant money and food, and it is the number of people who restricts the current development.
"Yes, the actual number is only a lot more than that. The news of the dark group came back that they had already made contact with Zhang Yan, and that he and the old Yellow Turban Department were willing to surrender, but they had to go to them in person to completely surrender. After a pause, Jia Xu opened his mouth again: "But please think twice, after all, this is also Zhang Yan's words, and it is unknown whether there are other schemes." ”
Lu Bu, who came from later generations, knew that fighting a war was actually a consumption of resources, and among all resources, population was the most important.
Lu Bu knew this very well, so he respected and cared for the people and soldiers, whether it was to vigorously develop agriculture and animal husbandry or to form the first medical team, it was to save people.
He was familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he knew that the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro and Qingzhou, including several other large Yellow Turban Yu Parties, had a large number of people, but he did not expect to be able to reach such a scale.
But after thinking about it, this is also very reasonable, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the court **, the people were not able to make a living, which led to the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the war brought disasters to ordinary people.
The fields are barren, the displaced people are everywhere, more and more people can't live, and in addition to the years of conquest, these so-called Yellow Turban remnants are actually poor people who can't survive.
Jia Xu's worries are not unreasonable, Lu Bu actually has doubts in his heart, but as the saying goes, if you can't let a child trap a wolf, a high return must have a high risk. After thinking for a while, Lu Bu said categorically: "Okay! The trip to Zhongshan will be personally gone by me and Ning'er! Baidu will read the latest chapter of "Lu Bujie's Literature of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
