Chapter 432: Driving the Tiger and the Wolf
General Wang Fei soon secretly set out for Bingzhou, and took with him the only 15,000 cavalry in Qingzhou.
Qingzhou had a total of 45,000 troops, of which 15,000 were cavalry, and the remaining 30,000 were defenders.
Previously, General Wang Fei had sent 15,000 troops to the exit of Mizusawa on the east side of Qingzhou, relying on the terrain to block Yang Jie's Kyoto forbidden army in the land of Shuize, and the remaining troops were almost all put in the north of Qingzhou, waiting for the arrival of the fierce people.
"The situation is more serious than expected." Murong Sinan frowned.
Yang Yi also condensed: "The lack of troops is the biggest dilemma in Qingzhou at present, and 30,000 people have to deal with an army of more than 70,000 people in total, which is really stretched. ”
"With the current situation, it is the best policy to break Yang Jie's Kyoto forbidden army first, and then join forces with General Wang Fei to face the fierce Di people." Murong Sinan Road.
Yang Yi nodded and said, "The best way to deal with Yang Jie's lone army is actually to drag." 20,000 people traveled a long distance, and it was across the sea and across Ze, originally wanted to fight a surprise attack, but we saw through, and now the 20,000 army is blocked at the entrance of Mizusawa, and the supply of grain and grass is their weakness, but according to the military rations they carry with the army, it is no problem to support half a month, but we don't have half a month. ”
Murong Sinan condensed: "The fierce Di people and Yang Jie are a tiger and a wolf, no one is easy to deal with, is it possible to use the strategy of driving the tiger and chasing the wolf?" ”
Yang Yi paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Hu Yanzhi and Yang Jie have colluded for many years, we don't know what the relationship is, and it is unlikely that they will want to bite each other."
But... Since one is a tiger and the other is a wolf, there must be suspicion of each other, and maybe we can take advantage of that. ”
Sowing discord is the most direct and effective way to deal with the alliance of interests, but how to operate is very difficult, after all, Qingzhou is now in a state of severing diplomatic relations with both the fierce Di people and Yang Jie, and it is really not easy to make them have a gap between them in a hurry.
At this moment, a soldier came in at the door and bowed: "Your Highness, there is... I'll see you there. ”
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Messenger?" Where did the messenger come from? ”
The soldier replied: "It's from the capital." ”
Yang Yi smiled, and then understood that it was Yang Jie's persuasion envoy who came, so he smiled at Murong Sinan on the side: "This Yang Jie, who is not good to persuade to surrender, persuade Wang Feijiang to surrender, if Wang Fei is here, with his reckless temperament, it is estimated that the envoy will be cut down before he enters the city." ”
The soldier at the foot of the stairs hesitated when he heard this, and then said: "Someone said that he was the deceased of the second general of my family, and he came to find him for a drink." ”
"The deceased?" Yang Yi was puzzled: "Who is it?" ”
"Deputy history of political participation, Chu Dongsheng, the secretary of the ministry."
"Chu Dongsheng?!" Yang Yi's smile gradually faded, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't speak.
When Yang Yi was studying in Guozi, the four people, one cat, cherry blossom and five knots had already become a good story of Daguang, and now these four people either hold heavy troops and dominate one side, or they are in high positions and powers, which is really embarrassing.
Murong Sinan had naturally heard of Chu Dongsheng, and said, "Your Highness... Do you want the soldiers to detain him directly? ”
Yang Yi pressed his hand, thought for a moment and said calmly: "Let them enter the city, Fei will not be there, and it is not easy for me to come forward, the only thing we in this group of people Chu Dongsheng does not know is you, you go to find out his bottom, remember not to reveal his identity, and strictly guard Chu Dongsheng and his party, do not allow them to move around at will, and block the news that Fei will not be in Qingzhou City." ”
Murong Sinan nodded and bowed: "Yes!" After saying that, he quickly followed the sergeant to the city gate.
Yang Yi stayed in the room alone, sat down slowly, and muttered thoughtfully: "Drive the tiger and chase the wolf... drive the tiger and chase the wolf...."
The strategy of driving the tiger and chasing the wolf is similar to killing people with a knife, which means that the two powers will fight against each other, and they will act as a third party to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
However, this strategy is extremely risky, and requires the operator to have a high level of skill and means, otherwise the slightest defeat will make the winning side of the tiger or wolf more difficult to deal with.
There are many such negative examples in the Three Kingdoms period known to Yang Yi, where the general He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo into Beijing to exterminate the Ten Standing Servants, thus making Dong Zhuo the founder of the troubled times. Liu Zhang of Yizhou wanted to use Liu Bei to help him resist Zhang Lu and Cao Cao in Hanzhong, but he was used by Pang Tong, and Liu Bei attacked with his backhand, and instead occupied Yizhou.
And now, the fierce Di people and Yang Jie are both tigers and wolves, there is no doubt about it, Yang Yi does not expect them to attack each other, as long as they can generate suspicion and shake the intention of attacking Qingzhou together, this plan will be considered a success.
Yang Yi felt that maybe Chu Dongsheng's arrival had found a breakthrough for himself.
Soon, Murong Sinan returned.
"Chu Dongsheng and his entourage are about 100 people, with congratulatory gifts and Yang Jie's edict, it is said that if Wang Fei will surrender to Yang Jie, he will be appointed as the general of Peking University, and the official will be the commander of the Qingzhou Army, and he will still sit in the north, and the officials and generals of Qingzhou will also be promoted." Murong Sinan said with a solemn face.
Yang Yi smiled and said: "This Yang Jie can really make money, such a big bait, even I am moved." ”
Murong Sinan frowned and said, "Fortunately, General Wang led the troops away, otherwise..."
Yang Yi waved his hand and said, "You are too underestimated to be a flying general, if he is here, he will definitely beat Chu Dongsheng, and then throw Yang Jie's holy decree to feed the dogs." Don't look at Feijiang's big grin, his heart is like a mirror, how can he not see Yang Jie's persuasion tricks? First the high-ranking officials Houlu let you rest assured, and then deprived you of your military power by various means, and after you are put in the air, it is not a matter of him Yang Jie's words to kill or chop? ”
Murong Sinan nodded: "Then what should I do?" Detain Chu Dongsheng and his party or drive them out of the city? ”
Yang Yi thought for a while but asked, "What else did he say?" ”
Murong Sinan shook his head and said: "No, this person is young but very sophisticated, he only said these words on the surface, and then he just said that he wanted to see General Wang Fei, and nothing else." ”
"He doesn't know I'm here, does he?" Yang Yi said worriedly.
"I shouldn't know, otherwise he would never be so calm."
Yang Yi thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "You can't catch it or take it away, just replace it." ”
Murong Sinan was puzzled: "Your Highness, why is this?" Keeping him in the city may shake the morale of the army. ”
Yang Yidao: "The order goes down, let all the members of the mission live in an inn, and the food and drink are sufficient, but all the guarded soldiers, post officers and servants must not talk to the people of the mission, otherwise military law will be involved." In addition, if Chu Dongsheng wants to see you, you will go to see him, and then he will definitely ask to see General Wang Fei, you just say that General Wang is busy with military affairs and has no time to meet him. ”
