Chapter 159: Preparing for Induction
Yuzhou.
In the past few days, Yuzhou has been holding a meeting, and the main content of the meeting is about the things in the north, in fact, the reason why Lin Chuan and they held this meeting is mainly to relax their vigilance on Liu Dai's side.
Then induce Liu Dai's side and let him lure the people from the north over. It doesn't take much, you just need to draw out a part of the people.
Then when the time comes, Lin Chuan, Cao Cao's side, Sun Quan's side, and Yuan Shao's side will work together to break them.
At that time, the losses will be very small. As long as Liu Dai's chess piece is handled well, it is definitely a big killer.
By the time the people in the north react, I'm afraid it's too late.
This can be said to be a plan that Lin Chuan's side has initially negotiated and carried out, which can be said to be very good. Basically all the questions have been covered.
As long as Liu Dai doesn't find the problem on their side, basically the problem will not be very big.
What Lin Chuan said here, Liu Dai would definitely believe something.
After all, Liu Dai is still unclear at the moment, Lin Chuan and their side have actually discovered the identity of his traitor, which can be said to be very beneficial to Lin Chuan's side.
If Liu Dai knew, the situation would be a bit bad. After all, Liu Dai is not simple, after all, he has been ambushed by Cao Cao's side for so many years.
It's not as simple as they think, and it certainly won't be that simple. So, things have to be taken step by step, be careful, and there is always no mistake.
In the past few days, Lin Chuan has not said much about the meeting, the main thing is to discuss the joint matter with everyone.
But everyone's response was mediocre, and I didn't know what the situation was, and the content of the previous meeting was also confessed to everyone.
But now there are two versions coming out, one is that the northern side is actually not strong and there is nothing to be afraid of, and on the other hand, the northern side is very strong and can completely defeat any combat force on the Central Plains side.
If the Central Plains side does not unite, it will be completely defeated. So at present, the princes from all walks of life don't know who to believe.
After all, in their subconscious, the strength of the northern side is still very weak. In the past, any state capital in the Eastern Han Dynasty could annihilate the northern side.
They also believe that they can do it all. But they forget that the northern side has been recuperating for many years.
And the Central Plains is because of Liu Xie. It's already rotten. In fact, there is not so much strength inside.
In the past few years, if it weren't for Cao Cao. Yuan Shao, if Sun Jian accumulates some of his strength. I'm afraid that there will be no high-end combat power on the Central Plains side.
If it is only the troops on Liu Xie's side. It's simply not enough to see.
It is a fact that any single state is completely inferior to the north.
However, it is still a bit difficult for you to convince those princes of this fact. But many people don't believe it.
After all, in the subconscious of those princes, they don't want to believe this.
This made Lin Chuan's side very troublesome, and it was also a bit passive. So say these days. On the one hand, Lin Chuan wanted to relax Liu Dai's vigilance, and on the other hand, he wanted to subtly tell these princes that the northern side was very strong.
Everyone, pay attention. Don't be broken one by one, or it will be very troublesome.
Although Lin Chuan's side is not too concerned about the matter of unity, it is also good to be able to unite the forces of one or two princes, so that the chances of victory will be a little greater.
But judging from the situation in the past few days, the situation is not optimistic. Because these princes have been living in their own world, they don't believe what Lin Chuan said at all.
This made Lin Chuan's side very distressed. It's also very helpless, and I don't know what to do.
Although Lin Chuan's side was not too optimistic about the joint matter, he still did it without any response, and he was still very uncomfortable in his heart.
These people are simply diehards. For the current situation, I can't see it clearly at all, I don't know if it's really unclear or fake.
Anyway, I've always been very resistant to the things of union. I don't know for what reason.
And Lin Chuan's side has actually been looking for these reasons, which link went wrong.
Before, they suspected that it was Liu Dai's side that did it, but now that they have found out, it actually has nothing to do with Liu Dai's side.
Although Liu Dai didn't want the joint plan to succeed, he didn't do it so obviously, and he made contact secretly and privately.
Because some people have already taken the lead, and there seems to be some agreement and consensus with these princes.
This makes Lin Chuan's side very passive, so the content of the meeting in the past few days is actually not optimistic.
But fortunately, Liu Dai's side is stable. Next, Lin Chuan's focus is estimated to be on your Liu Dai's side, after all, this is a big fish, if it is handled well, it can be completely taken down from the northern side, and it will be a lot of things in one fell swoop.
Why not do it?
And Lin Chuan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Tao Qian have all been tied together.
They know exactly who they're up against. At the moment, they can only hope to break the tie if they are united. And the timing of the north's visit this time is too coincidental.
He Jin had just acted, and Luoyang had just had an accident, and the northern side got the news. Although I have always suspected that it was Liu Dai's side before, Liu Dai is only one of the roles of the association, and it is estimated that there is a big fish in the back, but I don't know who it is.
Before, Lin Chuan guessed that it was someone from Wang Yue's side. Because only he has such a big suspicion.
But upon closer inspection, there really isn't any news. And Lin Chuan has a feeling that there is no one else except Wang Yue.
And Cao Cao's side actually suspected He Jin's side, but He Jin actually had no reason.
After all, his main task and purpose is to bring down Liu Xie's side, as for the rest, he will not actually do it.
These Lin Chuan still know about it, but it is not impossible to rule out that He Jin colluded with people from the north to eradicate Liu Xie's side.
So, the situation is still a bit complicated at the moment. And Liu Xie and Wang Yue don't know where to go now.
And He Jin's troops have been stationed in Luoyang.
And Ding Yuan's troops have actually withdrawn from Xuzhou. Kong Rong and Ma Teng were stationed in the north of Xuzhou, which was just far away from Luoyang, forming a joint encirclement.
After all, He Jin, Kong Rong, and Ma Teng are also a big force. Together, it is also a big force.
Now they are completely tied together. It's actually very difficult to do. So Ding Yuan's side temporarily retreated. That's all there is to it.
At this time, Yuzhou.
Lin Chuan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others gathered together again for a meeting.
At this time, Lin Chuan said.
"The current trend is a bit complicated. He Jin's side can be regarded as a big force. And on the northern side, there is also Ding Yuan's side. And Ding Yuan seems to have cooperated with Lu Bu's side. Although I have Lu Bu's side. It's kind of related. ”
"But if we really want to start a war with Ding Yuan's side, Lu Bu may not make a move against us, so Ding Yuan's side will not make a rash move against us."
After thinking for a while, he said.
"The only thing I'm worried about right now is the Youzhou side, the Yizhou side and the Jingzhou side. These states, now I don't know what they think at all, there was Liu Xie in the restriction. ”
"However, there is actually no more now, and we don't know exactly what they think now, and Liu Xie can't find it right now. And Liu Xie may not take refuge in them now. ”
"So these three forces are still a bit uncontrollable, and we have to be careful. Prevent them from taking advantage of our situation in the north. ”
"He Jin, in fact, I'm also quite worried. But the problem is not very big. And Liu Xie's side. You're a problem. After all, Wang Yue's power in the dark is not weak. It's a bit tricky. ”
Cao Cao said at this time.
"Actually, it's not a big problem. He Jin's side may not make a move on us. It's the same as Ding Yuan's side. It may not be able to make a move on me, and He Jin's side is actually not very likely to make a move on us. ”
"Right now, whoever has the possibility of making a move against us is only those small princes. and Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Youzhou. At the moment, there are only these states that pose a threat to us. ”
"As for other places, there is no threat for the time being. We just have to send someone to keep an eye on us, as long as we're fast enough. We could have taken the northern side. ”
Lin Chuan said at this time.
"Indeed, as long as we are fast enough, we can go south to the north. My only concern is that the north side is too strong. We may not be able to win it all at once. And we're going to have to keep a state of troops. Stick to our side. It's a bit difficult to prevent other people from raiding us. ”
Tao Qian said at this time.
"Actually, we can do it this time. Let's kill the vanguard on the northern side. As long as we take out their vanguard first, our odds may be great. ”
At this time, Lin Chuan said.
"But the only problem is that the vanguard troops in the north may not all be dispatched. They're sure they're going to send a force of spies. If we annihilate them, it will not be good. ”
"They may not trust Liu Dai's side completely. So it's still a bit risky. Another point is that Liu Dai's side may not cooperate with us. So we still have a lot of problems on our side. ”
"Let's plan and take a look. If the situation is not right, we can retreat in time. It's also good to hold on to one side. ”
Cao Cao, said at this time.
"Definitely. And these princes can't be in Yuzhou for too long, otherwise there will be an accident on their internal side. ”
After thinking for a while, he said.
"It's just these two days, let them go back, end it early, and unite as much as they can."
Lin Chuan nodded at this time and said.
"Okay, I got it. In the past two days, I've taken care of things here. Let's see how many people we can unite. As long as one or two princes can join us, we have a good chance of winning. ”
Cao Cao said at this time.
"And Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan, I'm afraid they may not be with us this time. After withdrawing from Xuzhou last time, they did not return to Qingzhou. Went somewhere else. Everyone has their own aspirations, and I don't have to force them. In the future they will know. They made the wrong choice. ”
Lin Chuan said with a frown at this time.
"For now, let's leave them alone, as long as they don't cause trouble on our side. Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan can also be regarded as square characters. They may not be able to do anything to us at this time. ”
Cao Cao nodded at this time and said.
"They're not going to do anything to us, for no reason. If they make a move, it will be bad. The people of the world don't know how to see them. The most important thing at the moment is that we first destroy the Pioneer Headquarters in the north. ”
"Let's induce Liu Dai first. Let's see what happens later, right? ”
Yuan Shao said at this time.
"For now, that's all it can be. Let's start implementing the plan in two days. Let's see if we can lure out all the vanguard troops from the north. And here we are. ”
"You have to enlarge the bait, or the people over there won't come." I'm afraid that if the bait is too big, after luring all the people from the north out, this matter will have to be discussed. ”
Lin Chuan said at this time.
"Maybe it would be better if we had our own people on the northern side. The current situation is on our own. If we can completely control Liu Dai in our hands. Maybe we'll have a better chance of success, you said. ”
Yuan Shao said at this time.
"I understand what you're saying, but it's too risky. If Liu Dai's side is completely controlled, it may not cooperate with our side, but will release some false news to them, which will alert the people in the north. ”
"For now, let's let it be, and see if we can lure the people from the north over. So be it for now. ”
Sun Jian said at this time.
"For now, that's all it takes, let's see when the time comes, if it really doesn't work. Let's stick to one side, shall we? By the time we were in several states. Echoing each other from afar, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
Lin Chuan nodded at this time and said.
"That's true, and it's not a big problem. I'm afraid that the north side will attack, and our side may not be able to withstand it. And our side is not suitable for a long time to fight. Now that the autumn harvest is just around the corner, I don't really want to make too much of a fuss. What's going on over there? Can the food keep up? ”
Cao Cao shook his head at this time and said.
"The situation is not optimistic. The rate of crop destruction on our side is still very large. I am afraid that the autumn harvest may not be good. I'm already in Qingzhou. Spring sowing was arranged. Take a year off. When the time comes, I can completely keep up, but I'm afraid I won't have this time. ”
Yuan Shao said at this time.
"Me too."
Lin Chuan said at this time.
"I'm here and Tao Qian's side. Actually, it can barely hold on. If we have a surplus of food by then. I'll arrange a wave. ”
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao bowed their hands at this time.
"Thank you very much."
Sun Jian said at this time.
"Yangzhou doesn't need it for the time being. The food problem can actually be solved on my side. I've been stockpiling food for the past few years. Now, I'm afraid it can be used. ”
At this time, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Lin Chuan were all surprised, they didn't expect Sun Jian to actually hoard food on his side.
Lin Chuan asked in surprise at this time.
"How much have you hoarded?"
Sun Jian said at this time.
"It's completely possible to support multi-state operations. It shouldn't be too long, but it can last for a while. ”
Lin Chuan said at this time.
"That's fantastic. Looks like we could be a little bolder with our plans. Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Sun Jian shook his head at this time and smiled bitterly.
"You didn't ask."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Now, the biggest problem has been solved. The rest is for the north.
