Chapter 1885: The Battle of Shouchun (166)
Liu Lan pushed the trouble to Cao Cao and Ma Yan, the key is to withdraw calmly very skillfully, as for whether the two can see their intentions, maybe Cao Cao and his advisers can see through their own ' Wolf ambition', but Ma Yan may not be, it's very simple, what the truth of this matter is, in fact, it doesn't matter, the key is how Ma Yan or Yuan Shao looks at it, and this is the key, and Liu Lan knew early on that Yuan Shao was going to use troops against Cao Cao, so no matter what the truth is, Yuan Shao will make a big fuss about this matter.
Yuan Shao's intentions are already very obvious in front of Liu Lan, and the next thing is to see Cao Cao, whether he wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, or ignore it under Ma Yan's provocation, and finally fall into the scheme, in Liu Lan's opinion, Cao Cao is a very bloody person, forcing him, completely gnawing and desperate, but in other words, if the strategists under his account are desperately trying to stop it, it is not impossible for Cao Cao to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, under the huge strength gap between the two sides, it is really possible to have this evil breath at the moment.
Therefore, Cao Cao's reaction next is the key to the key, but what specific choice he will make, in fact, it is difficult for Liu Lan to judge, after all, Cao Cao has done a lot of things in front of Yuan Shao over the years, of course, ignoring Yuan Shao's instructions and taking his instructions as a deaf ear often happens, just like the fuse of the Yanzhou Rebellion, not because he refused Yuan Shao's order to get rid of Zhang Miao.
Cao Cao's choice is the biggest variable, left or right, this choice is very difficult, and may even change the trend of the world, and history sometimes changes course because it seems like a trivial choice, and ultimately makes the ending very different.
Xu Shu hurriedly came to the conference hall early in the morning to see Liu Lan, and after entering the room, he found that he was lowering his head Chen Si, and he didn't find himself at all, he was already surprised by this, and he didn't dare to disturb the lord, and he had been standing at the bottom of the steps, suddenly Liu Lan raised his head and looked at Xu Shu, and before he could explain his intentions, he couldn't wait to say the above words, at this moment he urgently needed someone to listen and solve his troubles.
"What the lord said is good, now it depends on Cao Cao's attitude towards Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu is also very shrewd, abdicate before leaving, even if it falls into the hands of Cao Cao, Cao Cao may not kill him, and even let him go because of his scruples about Yuan Shao. But if he bears the name of the Son of Heaven of the Zhong family, then Cao Cao will not let him go if he says anything.
"Cao Cao's attitude is not clear, but can we find out Ma Yan's attitude?" Liu Lan looked at Xu Shu with a smile, meaning something.
"Anyway, no matter what, there will be one to fight and one to avoid."
"No, if you want to fight, Ma Yan will fight, Cao Cao will not be, and he will not dare, he does not have the confidence to provoke Yuan Shao, and it will not do Cao Cao any good to provoke him." Liu Lan said plainly, time is Cao Cao's best weapon, as long as there is enough time, he will be able to go west to fight with Zhang Xiu to complete, to tell the truth, Liu Lan really hopes that Cao Cao will go to Wancheng, because in a time and space, Cao Cao will lose his troops again, and lose the general Dian Wei.
"We'll see." Liu Lan didn't react much, he didn't look forward to it, and suddenly, he laughed: "Yuan Zhi, come to see me early in the morning, what's the matter?" ”
"It's a big deal." Xu Shu was a little mysterious, and said: "Today, Xu Yu suddenly visited Guangling and found a lowly position to meet the lord. ”
"Xu Yu is here?" Liu Lan was obviously stunned, and then looked at Xu Shu, at this time, the eyes of the two of them revealed one thing, Xu You's arrival was not simple, although Wen Hui's reply had been spread for many days, but with the distance from Guangling to Yecheng, Xu You could not be Yuan Shao's messenger after receiving the letter, so all this pointed to a possibility, Yuan Shao sent Xu You early in the morning.
"What the lord said is good, in fact, Xu You went south with Wang Xiu, but Wang Xiu returned to Guangling, but Xu You stayed in Xuzhou, listening to Wang Xiu, Xu You seemed to be here to convey the order of Wen Chou's assembly in Gaoyou, but somehow he actually made a detour to Guangling again." Xu Shu told Liu Lan everything he knew, but Liu Lan laughed, because this is Xu Shu's style, he has always only reported the conclusive information he has Liu Lan, and the undetermined information, even if he is ninety percent sure, he does not dare to blindly give conclusions, and will only report according to the truth, so Xu Yu can only let the lord judge whether it is the news that Wen Chou went south to Gaoyou to gather troops or the news that he went north.
"Grasp it with both hands, no matter what Yuan Shao wants to do, Guangling's defense cannot be relaxed." Liu Lan looked at Xu Shu, the biggest spy leader under his account, of course, now he has stepped down from the post of head of the internal security espionage, but no matter at any time, it will not change the fact that he created it single-handedly and established the internal security spy system with the cooperation of Zhen Yu, in Liu Lan's heart, this organization is completely a combination of military command and central unification.
It is precisely because of such a special situation that Xu Shu has already put aside his stall, after all, he still has to be under the main account, after all, he is still a general, even if the power of the military division is so big that it is because of this, he can't do it, especially because of this, he can't do this offending thing, especially Liu Lan revealed that within one to two years, all the generals will be moved to the general's mansion and directly under the jurisdiction of the general's mansion.
This is a major idea for him to imitate the general staff of later generations, but unfortunately it was rejected by Xu Shu, he knows that the current Xuzhou army, in addition to himself, the generals of this army will really listen to him, plus the commander of the internal guard, it will only backfire at that time, but make people hate him even more.
Xu Shu refused, Liu Lan could only drag it out, although it was said that there would be reforms in the next few years, but he understood that there was no time coming, at least in the short term, it would be difficult for some people to adapt, after all, Xiang Zhao Yun and Xu Huang were like them, one was unconditionally obedient and the other was afraid to disobey, so military advisors like the chief of staff also appeared around the two of them.
But in the Setshan camp and people such as Zang Ba, Tai Shici, Zhang Jaw, Zhang Liao and others, it doesn't work, Guan Yu may have no opinion, but with his temper, it will only be more troublesome to go, if you arrange a few soldiers for Guan Yu, it will be absolutely fine, but if it is a scholar or a military advisor, hehe, who should Liu Lan think about when the time comes?
And Zhang Liao's situation can't be changed, even the military power has been handed over, personal interests have been given up enough, at this time they are sending a military division over, then in their opinion, isn't it just to kill them all, where is this sending a military division, this is a hypnotic charm, maybe one day he will be replaced.
