Chapter 1871: The Battle of Shouchun (152)
Next, Liu Lan said very calmly, but the moment the four choices in his mouth were spoken, he was silent in the middle of the field: "Everyone, once Cao Yuan starts a war, there are four choices in front of us, the first gang Cao rejects Yuan and takes the opportunity to recover Qingxu." He looked at the head of the moment, and sure enough, the Qingxu generals were all excited at this moment, and Zang Ba even spoke directly, no need to say any other choices, to recover Qingxu!
It can be said that he said the true thoughts of most of the people present, Xu Shu is waiting, if no one raises objections, then he has to come forward, this capture of Qingxu is an introduction to put it bluntly, it is for the real purpose of leading out, time passes by second, Zang Ba surrendered his hand again: "There is no need to discuss this matter again, and please make up your mind to recapture Qingxu and point to the Yellow River!" ”
"Good ......" Liu Lan only said a good word, and saw Xu Shu take advantage of the situation, but the moment he didn't get up, Zhao Yun took the first step, stepped out and said: "All the dukes here are willing to recapture Qingxu, although it is the wish of our generation, but the last general thinks that it is better to listen to the lord after saying other options, and then make a choice." ”
Xu Shu saw that Zhao Yun had helped himself, and saying these words was the easiest to be hated, especially for him, there have been too many occasions to be these 'soldiers', one by one whispering that the full man doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry, you are not in a hurry, you are in the general's mansion, but Lao Tzu's territory is now in the hands of the people of Jizhou, there is no real name to say what Xuzhou Governor Qingzhou assassinated history, Lao Tzu is now a hussar general, is it useful, is it meaningful?
Generals, it's all like this, Xu Shu knows and understands their temper and temperament, and he doesn't care if you are a military advisor or not, one by one, especially Zhang Fei's house, he didn't dare to face him disrespectfully, so he pointed to Sang and scolded Huai, when deliberating, when fighting for his own interests, which of these people is not a red-eyed hungry wolf, at this time, let alone he Xu Shu, even if Liu Lan is in a hurry, he dares to contradict it, but if these people are just reckless people, it is impossible to get to today, as soon as they withdraw from the account, they will come with wattles on their backs, In the name of the name, he apologized for his previous recklessness.
And these reckless people can't get angry, and lose Europe out of a reason, kneeling in front of you, you can only ignore the previous suspicions, Xiucai met the soldiers, messing around one by one are the best, in the end, it becomes that you reason with him and he talks to you, you will be friends with him, he will talk to you about his bitterness, you tell him to be bitter, he will reason with you, anyway, it is the same chicken and duck, in the end, you yourself don't want to continue to entangle with him, and he has to ask not to be angry, right? Hehe, if you're not angry, I'll take this thorn down, military advisor.
But then again, it's easier to deal with these martial artists, there are not so many thoughts, there is one to say, all of them are straight, at first Xu Shu was a little unhappy in his heart, but after more contact, he will know the way to get along with them, but it should be easier, like the current military meeting, but it is the most harmonious, it is really time to talk about internal affairs, that is the time to show their powers, which sentence is not pondered a few times, and it will be calculated if you can't say it.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun came forward, after all, he is the governor of Xuzhou, first of all, where is the position, and secondly, Xuzhou City is his governing place, even if others are dissatisfied, they will not say that he is full of men and does not know that hungry men are hungry.
Liu Lan looked at Zhao Yun and said, "The second is to send troops to Yuzhou to help Yuan destroy Cao." "This is killing two birds with one stone, the purpose of this is to snatch Yuzhou from Yuan Shao's hands, but it can be seen that none of the people have reacted to this plan, and they all understand that this is seeking skin with the tiger, after all, none of them are Liu Lan, and they don't know the direction of history, so in their eyes, the current Yuan Shao is a big enemy, and Cao Cao is just a small prince, and the stranger is united with Yuan Shao, even if they really want to fight Cao Cao, with their current military strength, there is no problem at all, but the size of the difficulty, I grasped the problem of how much.
If you unite with Yuan Shao, it is absolutely no problem to destroy Cao Cao 100%, and send troops to destroy Cao Cao alone, even if you are not eighty percent sure, then you can use at least sixty percent, it is very easy, at least in the hearts of most of the generals in this room, Cao Cao is not in danger, just has such a hole card in his hand, but it can also scare those literati, for them, bullshit!
When Liu Lan said the second plan, not only did he not get anyone's support, but even all of them opposed it, we have never done it and will never do it, Liu Lan saw their reaction, took a deep breath, he knew that the critical moment had come, and the next option to say, if it was also such a reaction, then it was imperative to jointly attack Yuan Shao with Cao Cao.
No matter how strong Liu Lan is, there is one thing that he can't ignore, that is, he must consider the emotions of the generals, otherwise the command will chill them, unless he can persuade them as before, but it is difficult for him to formulate, if the emotions are still in his hands at this time, and when there is no such thing as chaos, then they may make a choice calmly, but now it is different, retreat to Guangling, each of them is willing, especially if they take the initiative to retreat, they feel even more cowardly, In such a situation, if the crowd is excited to recapture Qingxu, but he continues to go to Wujun or Jiujiang or even to fight Cao Cao, then it will only chill the hearts of the generals and soldiers, which is a dangerous signal, although Liu Lan takes the military power in his own hands, but whether he is a general who leaves with a cold heart or even leaves with the troops, it is a blow to him.
Before he developed step by step according to his own ideas and according to the blueprint he envisioned, success made him confident, even blindly arrogant, the words are orders, and they must be executed, after all, in the army, only one word can be said, only one person can be ordered, but there is one thing he ignores, that is, the emotions of generals and even soldiers.
He saw all this in his eyes, and all this also made him calm down, there was no problem with ordering one person in the army, but he had to listen to the views of his generals, as if he had given up Qing Xu He knew that his tactics were not any problem at that time, but the changes in the war exceeded all expectations, and there was such a relatively unfavorable situation now.
Liu Lan directly said the last two suggestions, for Wu County, there is no interest, is it still necessary to discuss Wu County, anyone present, who takes the headquarters in the past, can take it down, Wu County is their duck to the mouth, they can't fly and run, it's just a matter of fighting early and fighting late, and there is no need for Wu County to talk about things in such a military meeting.
Everyone's attitude is like this, Liu Lan also coughed a few times in embarrassment, he agrees with the generals' statement, Wu Jun can't run, and it won't pose much threat to them, even if they unite with Wucheng's bandits, but such a force doesn't have any combat effectiveness at all, and for them who are elite in a hundred battles, they can't pose any danger at all.
On the contrary, when Liu Lan said Sun Ce's name, he obviously saw that Guan Yu's eyes were open at this moment, and his eyes were shining, of course, there were Huang Zhong and others, they all participated in the battle of Jiujiang, although they were also representatives of Guan Ji Zechao, but obviously another reason why they were willing to choose Jiujiang was to know the thoughts of the lord, and they knew that it was not beneficial to participate in the battle of Cao Yuan too early.
In the matter of Jiujiang, there was finally a voice of support, and Liu Lan took the opportunity to say: "Then it is already obvious, attacking Cao Nan to Wu County has been ruled out, once Cao Yuan starts a war, it will inevitably be a big war, maybe not too long, Yuan Shao is all the way to the ground, but as long as we move the troops to the north, we will definitely be able to deter Yuan Shao, and the same principle will also be tried with Cao Cao, so we have the initiative!" ”
Xu Shu stood up and said: "Yes, now it is a three-point battle, if the three sides can maintain neutrality, our three parties will definitely not have any war, because no matter who starts a war against the other side, as long as the third party sends troops to support the attacked side, then the attacking side will inevitably withdraw its troops, but because of Yuan Cao's alliance problem, we can really unite, in fact, only Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao is subject to Yuan Shao's obscenity, he dares to agree to join forces with us against Yuan Shao, but he is bound to dare not refuse to attack us with Yuan Shao, So if we attack Yuan Shao at the beginning of Yuan Cao's war, then the most likely thing is to force Yuan Cao to ally again, the generals, the lords abandon Qingxu, and finally let them meet each other, do we still want to let them unite again? ”
Zang Ba, who shouted the most fiercely, secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and quickly glanced at Huang Zhong on the other side, this is the only person he can trust by Liu Lan's side, although it has no weight, but at least it is a big support, and the others who can talk to him, the first Wang Xiu is not in the hall, and the others, such as Xu Fang and Xu Sheng, are listening carefully at the moment, maybe they have been completely persuaded by Xu Shu at this moment, such a good situation, a situation that is not flammable, can you just give up, Will the situation in Kanto go back to a year ago?
"Lord, is this your final thought, in order to cause the Cao Yuan War, you did not hesitate to give up Qingxu, but are you really sure that it can play an effective role? This matter does not seem to be easy, we want to make a profit, but these two are not fools, can't they see what our purpose is, maybe they can't think of it for a while at first, but soon they will find out that they have been fooled, and they will even join forces again to attack Guangling. It was Zhao Yun who spoke, he listened to Xu Shu's words very calmly, he was excited at first, but soon he calmed down and said with some worry.
"Zilong's worries are not unreasonable, in the battle of Yuan Cao, I sent troops to help Yuan, then Yuan Caobi joined forces to attack me after several battles, if I sent troops to help Cao, there is no doubt that I will seek skin with the tiger, Zilong analyzed thoroughly, but I ignored it." Although Liu Lan said politely, but all this was actually thought of by him and Xu Shu a long time ago, the moment he saw the letter presented by Wen Hui, he thought of it, otherwise, Liu Lan would not be able to consider Jiujiang and Wu County, but a Wu County can't satisfy the appetite of the current account, and a Jiujiang can, of course not, but don't forget, Sun Ce ran to Changsha last time, that is to say, if he escapes the battle of Jiujiang this time, then Liu Lan can only use force against Jingnan, And Jingnan is Liu Biao's control, these years everyone thinks that Liu Biao only cares about the development of Jingzhou, and he only knows how to stick to it, in fact, he has his own ambitions, but Liu Lan was blinded by the romance, and was blinded by the previous trip to Jingzhou, he felt that Liu Biao had no ambitions, but Liu Biao has been secretly accumulating strength, when the news from the internal guard was finally found by him to find a certain connection, he was surprised to find that Liu Biao was going to make a move.
Of course, his actions are not north or east, but south, after all, with the current strength of Liu Biao, there is no possibility of competing with Cao Cao in the north, and there is no ability to compete with Yuan Shu in the east, and Liu Yan and Liu Zhang of the same sect in the west, and the place where his Jingzhou can develop is only to go south, so when he left Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, he began to prepare for the war against the war.
However, Jingzhou's naval army is famous all over the world, but the infantry has suffered a lot of losses in Jiaozhou, the first battle of Jiaozhou was lost, Liu Biaoyan died down, but Liu Lan knew that he would not be reconciled, and the battle of Jiaozhou would continue, but now the time is not yet right, because his relationship with the four counties of Jingnan has reached the freezing point.
Although there are rumors that the defeat in the battle has the hands of the four counties of Jingnan, especially Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, who stumbled behind his back, but no matter what the truth is, Liu Xian can only pretend to be stupid, because he has no strength to rebel, and the defeat in the battle also made him lose his original control over Jingnan.
In such a situation, if they rashly send troops to Jingnan, it seems that they have helped Liu Biao to calm down the unstable factors, but at the same time, it also means that he will lose his last hope, and the last hope of seizing Jiaozhou will also be shattered, Liu Lan regards himself as Liu Biao, if he is the pastor of Jingzhou, in this situation, will he support the friendly army to send troops to Jingnan, or not, the final result is refusal, because once he loses Jingnan, he will completely lose the opportunity to grow, and he is in Jingzhou, will become a lamb to be slaughtered, which must be something he can't allow, so this time he wants to fight Sun Ce, if he really wants to enter Jingnan, then it is necessary to ensure Liu Biao's interests, that is to say, it is difficult for Liu Lan to get involved in Jingnan, but as soon as the war starts, who is responsible for the losses?
Why did Liu Biao let you fight? In the end, the unfortunate loss was not his people and property in Jingzhou.
