Chapter 054 Chen Gong's Poison Plan 2
"The world is in chaos? Ji Cai, what you said is a little ridiculous. Now, isn't the world already in chaos? The princes of various places, except for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, most of the others were based on the territory to protect themselves. Just like that kid said, one of the most ridiculous is Liu Biao, who lives in the Han Dynasty himself, and when His Majesty is in trouble, he is not far away!
But what about him? In my opinion, he is not as good as Liu Bei of Xuzhou, and Liu Biao is already satisfied with monopolizing the land of Jingzhou. Even this so-called Han clan is like this, looking around the world, who is still really working hard to revive the Han family at this time? Chen Gong asked disapprovingly.
There is a sentence that Chen Gong has not yet said that through the last time he met Emperor Han Xian, he has been completely disappointed in this little emperor. Just as Jin Jue said, if you don't make a contribution, how can such an emperor be peaceful in the world. This sentence had already entered Lu Bujun's army from Jin Wei's mouth, and that Hou Wen, until Lu Bujun left, the little emperor did not dare to deal with him.
The funny thing is that what the little emperor is afraid of is just Yuan Shu, who is about to rebel against the emperor standing behind him.
Whether Yuan Shu will rebel or not, Lu Bu and Chen Gong both know that this person will definitely rebel, but they don't know when he will rebel.
When the news reached Luoyang City, I didn't know what the little emperor's face would be at that time, and whether he would think of the little lame man who scolded Hou Wen in person.
"Wen Hou, since you already know the reason, you can't kill it. If those Bai Bo soldiers want to leave, we will simply send them away, so that we can not only relieve the doubts in the hearts of the soldiers of the other departments, but also find some trouble for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and even bring even more trouble to that kid. Seeing that Lu Bu was determined to do so, Chen Gong suggested again.
Regarding Chen Gong's judgment, Lu Bu is still skeptical, after all, if he lets go of Bai Bojun for such a plain reason, it is not impossible, but what if Bai Bojun really has to leave? Then, the strength of Lu Bu's army, which was finally formed, will immediately be reduced by more than one-third.
However, when Lu Bu heard that this strategy could actually bring Jin Jue trouble, he immediately asked, "Oh, how do you say this?" ”
At this moment, Lu Bu's perception of Jin Jue is very complicated, it can be said that he loves and hates, hates him for saying goodbye, hates him for seducing away beauties from here, and seduces away his generals who have served for many years, and loves him because before he left, he did recommend many good talents for himself.
Others don't say it, just one Yang Jun, at the beginning, Jin Jue said that this person was not weaker than Xun Yu in terms of tasting talents, and Lu Bu naturally didn't believe it. However, as soon as they met, after many days of observation, Lu Bu believed.
"Wen Hou, no matter whether the reincarnated Heavenly Master is the kid or not, we can also spread rumors and point out that the surname of the Dao is the Heavenly Master. What's more, the time when he entered Guanzhong coincided with the time when the rumors spread, and when the time came, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army all over the world would rush into Guanzhong to see this reincarnated Heavenly Master with their own eyes. Hahaha! In the end, Chen Gong couldn't help but laugh.
"Strategist, if there are so many people who take refuge in him, isn't that strengthening his strength and cheapening that kid?" Wei Xu listened to it and couldn't help but interject.
Lu Bu naturally had such doubts in his heart.
"Hehehe, Wen Hou, Chen Junshi's plan is indeed making trouble for the younger brother of the little marquis. The Yellow Turbans in the world defected to him, which can indeed enhance his strength, but Guanzhong is full of wealthy families, can they not be afraid when they hear such news? Especially Ma Teng and Han Sui, what's more, now that there is a shortage of food everywhere in Guanzhong, and the people are running out, he is the one who has a lot in his hands, if he doesn't have the ability of the True Heavenly Master, he still can't subdue so many people! Sima Yi, who had never put forward any insightful strategies, suddenly interjected, strongly supported Chen Gong, and explained.
As soon as the people heard this, they understood.
When the Yellow Turban Army was powerful at the beginning, it can be said that it swept the world. However, why did the three Zhang brothers either die of illness or be ambushed in less than a year. In addition to the fact that the forces of the 36 parties are not subordinate to each other and the forces are scattered, even the wealthy families of the whole world oppose the proposition of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army rushed to fight the local tyrants and inferior gentry and divide the land. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the family controlled most of the land in the world, how could they be willing to give up some mud legs immediately?
Therefore, Chen Gong's plan not only did not help Jin Jue, but immediately turned him into the target of the entire Guanzhong.
Of course, if Jin Jue really has the ability to splash the sky, withstand the pressure, and solve the food problem, then he may not be able to dominate Guanzhong, or even the entire Liangzhou.
It is not so much that Chen Gong is looking for trouble with Jin Jue, but that this is a test for him.
Chen Gong's implied meaning, among the people present, only Sima Yi heard it, so he suddenly interjected to explain.
"Then do it!" When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately ordered.
During this time, enough deserters have been killed, but this situation still can't be stopped, so that the soldiers in other places are also panicked, the upper echelons are not clear about the situation, and the lower echelons are even more at a loss.
On the same day, Lü Bu immediately passed the order to the generals scattered in the counties of Hedong County, asking him to act according to Chen Gong's strategy, and the soldiers under Sha Tai's command were re-recruited from the local area.
Although this will greatly reduce the total number of soldiers in Lu Bu's army for the time being, it can eliminate the confusion in the hearts of other soldiers, stabilize the morale of the army, and take this opportunity to eliminate the uneasy factors in the army.
Overall, the pros outweigh the disadvantages. What's more, there is actually another advantage to such self-cutting strength, that is, to show Zhang Yang, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Lu Bu's self-cutting strength showed that he would not expand his power to other places for the time being, and stayed in Hedong County in peace.
……
At the same time, as Chen Gong estimated, Cao Cao's army did encounter the most problematic problem of the collective flight of soldiers among all the Central Plains princes because of that message.
No way, who let Cao Cao start with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army?
The 300,000 Yellow Turban Army recorded in the history books is just an approximate number.
After Cao Cao forced it to surrender, because this kind of large-scale Yellow Turban Army inevitably carried a large number of family members, according to the calculation of five people and one strong man, it was 60,000.
This also has to subtract the people who died and fled during the period, Cao Cao was in charge of Yanzhou City at the beginning, and at most he could get 50,000 people, and the number of soldiers he himself served as the Taishou of Dongjun was about 10,000, plus the consumption of several battles with the Yellow Turban Army, half of which was lost, and at most 5,000 people.
Then Cao Cao led people to attack Xuzhou, and when he slaughtered the city, it was also a dead person.
Later, Chen Gong and others welcomed Lü Bu into Yanzhou, and the troops in Cao Cao's hands were immediately cut in half.
Now, that is, after the last calamity of Lü Bu's army to Yanzhou, Cao Cao can really control no more than 40,000 troops. In this, the number of remaining Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army soldiers will definitely exceed half.
Therefore, during this period of time, there was a sudden large-scale exodus in Cao Cao's army, which caused the total number of Cao Cao's soldiers to plummet to less than 30,000.
Of course, this is not just a matter of rumors, before Lu Bu killed the Tuntian soldiers in Yanzhou, including the families of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. So that a large part of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has no worries, and there are naturally more people running.
If it weren't for Lu Bu's raid, maybe there wouldn't be so many people running this time.
Moreover, Cao Cao's Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, unlike when Lu Bujun accepted the Bai Bo Army, listened to Jin Jue's idea and scattered them all to the hands of the generals, so the Bai Bo Army that escaped from Lu Bu's army, except for Wei Xu's subordinates, the other generals' subordinates fled scattered.
And Cao Cao's subordinates, except for Yu Ban, all of them fled on a large scale, and as soon as they ran, they disappeared into the system.
"Wen Ruo, Yuan Rang, Zixiao, Zilian, Miaocai, can you find out the reason?" Cao Cao, who stayed in Puyang City, was now like an ant on a hot pot, and when he saw his subordinates coming in, he hurriedly asked.
