Chapter 122: Imminent
Yuan Shu, who lost the battle, fled all the way to Chenliu with 20,000 remnants of the defeated army, seized Fengqiu, and temporarily settled here to live. The reason why he chose Yanzhou as his base was that Yuan Shu was very shrewd, first of all, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to help Zhao Yun, and Yuan Shu had already held a grudge; Secondly, Cao Cao was in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and was fighting with the Yellow Turban, and the situation was very dangerous. Third, although Yuan Shu lost the battle, Tao Qian, Liu Bei and others still posed a threat to Yanzhou on the periphery, which was very beneficial to Yuan Shu.
He immediately sent a letter to Liu Bei Tao Qian, hoping that they would send troops to help, on the side of Fengqiu, Yuan Shu was lucky, and got a lot of strong reinforcements, Yu Fuluo, who was defeated by Cao Cao before, took the initiative to walk with Yuan Shu, and promised to help him capture Yanzhou.
Yuan Shu, who had lost the battle before and almost lost his bare buttocks, once again ignited hope, Yuan Shu ordered the general Liu Shen to send troops to Kuangting, but unfortunately, before Liu Shen set up the camp, Cao Cao took the lead and took the lead in attacking Kuangting.
Liu Shen was not Cao Cao's opponent at all, he collapsed at the first touch, and retreated back to Fengqiu, Cao Cao did not stop, and quickly marched to Fengqiu, and the two sides launched a fierce duel in Fengqiu.
Without waiting for Liu Bei and Tao Qian to send troops, Yuan Shu was defeated, and then was chased and beaten by Cao Cao, and fled to Yangzhou like a lost dog (Yangzhou at this time was one of the thirteen states in the late Han Dynasty, and Yangzhou in later generations was different, and Yangzhou in later generations is now called Guangling. )
…………
Nanyang was made by Yuan Shu's black smoke miasma, Zhao Yun was busy and had no time to withdraw, all day long either staying in the barracks, or visiting and inspecting, on this day, someone sent a letter, Zhao Yun opened the letter with a face, and was taken aback, the letter was written by Han Fu, before Han Fu was robbed to Beiping by Gongsun Zhan, and was almost cut off before the head of the sacrifice flag, thanks to Zhao Yun interceded for him, Gongsun Chan let him go.
"General Zhao, a few days away, I miss it very much, there is a big event at the moment, I have to tell you, Gongsun Chan is flying high, repeatedly provoking Liu Yu, the two sides have long been on the same footing, and the war is about to break out, and I hope that General Zhao will mediate and dissuade Gongsun Chan from fearless disputes."
"Oh?" Zhao Yun almost forgot about this matter, frankly speaking, Zhao Yun has great respect for Liu Yu, Liu Yu is one of the few clear streams, he is really for the court, for the people, even if he can't withdraw, Zhao Yun also feels that he should do something.
He immediately wrote two letters, one to Gongsun Zhan and one to Liu Yu.
"Jing Nan!" shouted outside the door, followed by a pro-soldier who came in, "Lord, what is the send?" ”
"Quickly invite General Tai Shici."
This matter is not trivial, sending someone else to go, Zhao Yun couldn't rest assured, so he had to find Tai Shici.
It didn't take long for Tai Shici to hurriedly push the door and walk in.
"Ziyi, you work hard, go to Jixian County immediately, give these two letters to Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu respectively, and try to persuade them not to go to war, of course, Gongsun Chan is like a blazing fire, I expect to persuade him not to stop, the key is Liu Yu, you must warn him, you must endure it again and again, you can't easily start a battle between swords and soldiers, no matter how Gongsun Chan provokes, don't pay attention to it."
The reason why Gongsun Chan provoked many times was to deliberately provoke Liu Yu, and once Liu Yu made a move, Gongsun Chan had a reason to deal with Liu Yu.
Moreover, Zhao Yun knew that although Liu Yu had outstanding ability in governing government affairs, he was by no means Gongsun Zhan's opponent when it came to leading troops to fight.
Seeing that the matter was urgent, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly nodded and agreed, "I'll leave immediately." ”
Zhao Yun once again advised, "If the two of them really fight, the war is inevitable, you must protect him thoroughly, and you must not let Liu Yu fall into the hands of Gongsun Zhan." ”
"No!"
Tai Shici agreed, turned around and walked out quickly.
Zhao Yun patted his leg, looked at Han Fu's letter, and felt as if a lightning flash suddenly struck in his heart, and he couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "If Han Fu hadn't taken the initiative to write to me, I wouldn't have been able to know about the affairs over there in Youzhou." ”
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Zhao Yun was too busy to take care of it before, but now, he finally realized that it was time to form his own intelligence network.
He is not very good at this thing, but there is no suitable candidate at the moment, the matter is imminent, the sooner he establishes an intelligence organization, the sooner he can benefit, otherwise he will be no different from a blind headless fly.
Whether it's a spy or a secret agent, it's just a different name, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, intelligence warfare has already begun to prevail.
Spy, Craftsman, Agent, Guard, Pile...... There are many names, and their purpose is nothing more than to collect intelligence, and this kind of thing, the Mo family has done a very good job.
The Mo family opposes tyranny and war, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the disciples of the Mo family moved around, paying close attention to the dynamics of all parties, their actions were secretive, they were difficult to find, and they were pervasive, even Shen Buxian and Shang Ying, such a law-changing minister, were also on the blacklist of the Mo family's assassination early, and were assassinated by the Mo family's disciples many times.
Zhao Yun discussed his ideas with Xu Rong and others, and everyone unanimously agreed, but on the specific how to do, they couldn't come up with good countermeasures, Zhao Yun could only cross the river by feeling the stones, and move forward step by step...... Once discovered, it must be reported in time.
Then, Zhao Yun further screened and trained the personnel, making them pay more attention to details and collect more comprehensive and detailed information.
This kind of thing, you need a wise mind, good strategy to be competent, Zhao Yun is self-aware, leading troops to fight is barely possible, for intelligence work, unless it is a first-class strategist like Guo Jia and Jia Xu, this can be handy.
According to the understanding of the Three Kingdoms, the intelligence agencies inside, Zhao Yun also knows a little about Cao Wei's intelligence, the helmsman is Guo Jia, and the Xishu side is Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia Zhuge Liang is like the computer host of the terminal, radiating all directions, controlling the overall situation, without superior overall situation, without careful and meticulous thinking, without accurate and keen judgment, it is difficult to do things well.
For some reason, Jia Xu's figure suddenly flashed in Zhao Yun's mind.
He's coming, and he'll be able to do it!
Zhao Yun did it himself, while selecting shrewd and capable spy guards, while training soldiers and horses, Yanyun Iron Cavalry was replenished again, everything was going on in a tense and orderly manner, and on this day, I received a letter from Xu Shu.
In the letter, Xu Shu first briefly reported on his study, and then changed the conversation and recommended two capable people to Zhao Yun.
