Chapter 1182: Public and Private
Yangzhou is the main state of the Sun family, Yuzhang is the largest county in Yangzhou, the left controls Danyang, the right controls Changsha, and guards the middle stream of the Yangtze River, the geographical location is extremely important. Even if Wu Jun and Huiji are lost, as long as Yu Zhang is in hand, it is equivalent to hanging a sword above Sun Ce's head, making Sun Ce restless.
As a result, Yangzhou was lost. Liu Miao was defeated in the front, Gao Gan was defeated in the back, and the teachers were defeated.
Liu Xuan is better to say that he was defeated by Zhou Yu's army. Gao Gan fought too much in this battle, who is He Qi? I've never heard of it. This is equivalent to a slap in the face to Yuan Shao. When Gao Gan was appointed as the Nanchang Order, some people objected, thinking that Gao Gan had no career experience, and that he would only fight for power with Liu Xuan when he went to Yuzhou, and could not cooperate.
As a result, Gao Gan proved that those people's fears were not groundless.
Did Guo Tu already know that the ability of senior cadres was insufficient and he couldn't keep the Yu Zhang? Otherwise, how could he say that Sun Ce might send troops to Qingzhou. Yuzhang changed hands, Sun Ce no longer had to worry about the future, he could now free up his hands to capture Qingzhou. The culture of the four counties of Jiangdong is backward, and the strength of the family is insufficient, but it is a place to produce elite soldiers, and the Danyang soldiers are the elite of the world.
Yuan Shaoqiang endured his anger and disappointment and did not let himself lose his temper, but Guo Tu and Chen Lin both felt the anger surging in his chest, and once they vented it, they would inevitably be affected. Chen Lin was very nervous, and her forehead was full of cold sweat. Guo Tu was very calm, he couldn't see any expression on his face, but there was a hint of happiness in his heart. Gao Gan was defeated, Yuzhang fell into the hands of Sun Ce, and Sun Ce was a little more likely to send troops to Qingzhou. Yuan Shao wants to deal with Gongsun Zan wholeheartedly, it is impossible to personally conquer Qingzhou, and he has committed Yuan Shao's taboo by supporting the army, and after calculating it, this opportunity will fall into the hands of the Ruying people.
He doesn't even need to fight, just wait patiently.
After suffering the defeat of Yuan Tan, the Ruying people have been waiting for the opportunity to rise again, and now the opportunity has finally come.
Yuan Shao took a few deep breaths and barely controlled his emotions. He calmly discussed the contingency measures with Guo Tu and Chen Lin. Guo Tu didn't speak much, he had already said what he had to say, there was no need to repeat it, let alone say it in front of Chen Lin. Chen Lin is a scholar and writes good articles, but he is not good at military affairs, and sometimes he can't even distinguish between friend and foe. When anyone entered the general mansion, he strongly opposed the recruitment of foreign troops into Beijing, but he didn't know that the person who proposed that plan was not He Jin, but Yuan Shao.
After this incident, Yuan Shao was very disappointed in Chen Lin, and only asked him to write articles, and rarely consulted him on political affairs. This time, if it weren't for Guo Tu's important task, and it was not appropriate to make a noise, it would not be his turn to act as an agent.
Chen Lin also knew this, so he kept his mouth shut.
Seeing that Guo Tu and Chen Lin had no suggestions, Yuan Shao asked Guo Tu to rest, and then sent someone to invite Tian Feng and Fu Zhu to discuss the matter. Hearing that Gao Gan was defeated and Yu Zhangmian was lost, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu also felt very surprised. Although this result was not unexpected, the timing was really not good, which made Yuan Shao very passive.
Tian Feng had just finished discussing with Yuan Shao, and before he had time to communicate with Fu Zhu, he suddenly faced this situation, and in order to avoid disagreements between himself and Fu Zhu, he had to briefly repeat his opinion. After listening to this, he thought about it repeatedly for a long time, and raised concerns similar to those of Guo Tu.
In the case of relieving his worries, Sun Ce may send troops to Qingzhou. Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, committing public anger, he was too busy to take care of himself at the moment, and he also asked Sun Ce. Sun Ce seized Qingzhou, and he could only swallow his anger, at most exchanging Qingzhou for some baggage, but he was powerless to stop Sun Ce.
If Qingzhou fell into the hands of Sun Ce, it would never be a good thing for Yuan Shao. First, Qingzhou and Liaodong face each other across the sea, close to each other, Sun Ce can go straight to Liaodong, and it will become easier to buy war horses; Second, Qingzhou borders Jizhou, and there is a greater possibility of conflict. If Sun Ce was allowed to occupy Qingzhou and Yuan Shao to take Xuzhou, the plan to outflank Sun Ce's right flank would not be realized, and he could only forcibly break through the middle lane, and at the same time prevent Sun Ce's two flanks from outflanking.
The strategic situation was very unfavorable for Yuan Shao.
Faced with this situation, Fu Zhu did not dare to make suggestions easily. Although Tian Feng insisted on his original opinion, believing that Sun Ce did not have the ability to take the initiative to attack at present, he had to make adjustments. There is a big river in the north of Qingzhou, Mount Tai in the south, it is easy to defend the difficult pass, the terrain is more favorable than Junyi and Suiyang, if it falls into the hands of Sun Ce, the threat is greater than Junyi.
Seeing that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu had no good advice for a while, Yuan Shao became even more anxious. The war in Youzhou has not yet been decided, and Qingzhou is in danger again, he is a little anxious, and the demeanor he has always paid attention to is collapsing little by little.
——
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu took their leave of the account and walked side by side, but they didn't speak for a long time.
Walking in front of Tian Feng's big tent, Tian Feng stopped and looked back at him. "Come in and sit down?"
Fu Zhi nodded and followed Tian Feng into the account. Tian Feng's tent is very simple, one bed and one table, and there are no other advantages. There were some books piled up on the couch, and an oil lamp. Frustrated with a glance at the unfinished manuscript on the case, he was surprised to find that the title was Jieqiao Battle Chronicle.
"It's ......"
"Before the boundary bridge, the gains and losses of the two sides in arranging troops." Tian Feng picked up the manuscript and stuffed it into his hands. "I questioned a number of prisoners, consulted the captured documents, and gathered some information. It's a pity that after a long time, the information is not very complete, and the impression of the captives is a little lighter. It would have been better if we had started this after the war.
He quickly read the manuscript and pondered for a moment. "Brother Yuan Hao, do you want to write this article, do you want to learn from Sun Ce, build a martial arts hall to teach apprentices publicly, or prepare to hide the famous mountain and leave it for future generations?"
Tian Feng glanced at him. "Do we still learn less from Sun Ce? It's just a toddler in Handan, it's just nondescript. Nanyang Workshop is getting better and better, and the products are marketed in the north and south of the river, and we can still squeeze it in Jizhou. The lord ordered Jizhou to use Jizhou paper to write official documents, and everyone prepared two kinds of paper, Jizhou paper for official documents, and all private documents were Nanyang paper. Do you think we still have a chance to win in the long run? ”
Frustrated, he glanced at the outside of the tent and said in a low voice: "Brother Yuan Hao, if you talk too much, you will lose ......."
Tian Feng snorted, raised his hand to interrupt the frustration, and motioned for the frustration to take a seat. "Gonghe, it's not that I mean to frustrate the army, but the situation is like this, we can't hide our ears and steal the bell and deceive ourselves. The Art of War: Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, Sun Ce has become an opponent we must face squarely, the workshop cannot be entered, the Wood School and the Materia Medica Hall are not invited, but the martial arts hall is open, but have any of us paid attention? ”
Tian Feng picked up a manuscript from the side and threw it in front of Fu Zhi. "You see, the Battle of Rencheng at the beginning of the year has become a must-read article for the Martial Arts Hall, but we haven't even made a summary of the Battle of the Boundary Bridge. It looks like we still have some advantages, but how many days can we maintain them? If we don't hurry up, we can only look at Sun Ce......"
Tian Feng opened his mouth and let out a long sigh with a melancholy expression.
He quickly read the manuscript and his eyes flashed. "Brother Yuan Hao, where did these articles come from? Anything else? Can I make a copy of it and let the dog read it. ”
Tian Feng looked at Fu Zhu in surprise, then smiled bitterly twice, and took out two more manuscripts and handed them to Fu Zhu. "These are transcripts, not manuscripts, so you can read them. Gonghe, it seems that you don't know the value of these articles, but your selfishness is too heavy. He thinks only of thy son, but he does not care about the inheritance of his lord. ”
