Chapter 11 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
For Yuan Yun, it doesn't matter who is the Son of Heaven in this world, as long as the peace is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment, then even if it is a dog, it is no problem.
Thinking about it like this, I feel that it seems to be a little disrespectful to Cao Ang, no matter how I say it, the other party has always been a brother who cares for each other, so it would be best for him to be the son of heaven.
At this moment, all the people in this upper room are of different shapes, Cao Ang has been holding the pawn man to discuss military strategy, the singer next to them is basically an ornament, and Xu Yi is very incompatible with his image, his face is like Xu Chu's black hair, but when he speaks, he looks crepe, and his behavior is even more gentle and polite, just like a gentleman.
As for Xiahou, it seems extremely abnormal, this thing used to look like a swinger in the Qinglou, and regardless of men, women, old and young, he could eat them all, but today he is just sitting, and the singer who accompanies him has always been trembling.
Looking at such a Xiahou, Yuan Yun could only sigh secretly, he was completely powerless, after all, this kind of thing between men and women, if the parties concerned couldn't think clearly, then no matter how much they persuaded each other, it would be useless.
Then there is the living treasure Cao Chong in the field, this little guy was looking forward to it, but Cao Ang said, "Brother Chong is still young, don't come nonsense", and completely cut off another feat of Qinglou, and at this moment there are only two guards waiting for him.
This banquet lasted for more than an hour, and finally ended after Xiahou got himself drunk, and Mrs. Xiangrui naturally stuck to Yuan Yun all the time, others only became Mrs. Xiangrui interested in Yuan Yun, only Yuan Yun herself knew, Mrs. Xiangrui was just repeatedly confirming with him what Cao Hong explained.
On the way back to Yuan's mansion, several people chose to ride a horse, not that Yuan Yun didn't want to take the car, but Xiahou, who was spitting up, was now lying half-dead in the frame, so in order not to smell the sky-high wine, riding a horse was the last choice.
Cao Ang's mood seemed to be very happy at the moment, so he still talked and laughed with Yuan Yun and others on the way, and as for the content, it was not like the past, with a lot of male hormones, which were basically some Luoyang policies, and Yuan Yun also took this opportunity to say something about the distribution of the degree dish in the White Horse Temple.
Cao Ang fully supported this, Yuan Yun's proposal, except for what proposal for equality for all people did not fully agree, other decisions, Cao Ang felt that it was very reasonable, and the implementation finally showed that many of Yuan Yun's proposals would bring great benefits to Luoyang, and she Cao Ang only needed to support it.
At this point, Cao Ang never felt inferior to Yuan Yun, and there was a taboo, according to his Lao Tzu Cao Cao's education, what he didn't have the ability to do, then he needed to use the people around him to do it, once this person really did a good job, then he would make great use of talents, and the reasonable use of talents was the wisdom of the supreme commander.
"This time, the imperial court handed over Yizhou and Jingzhou to our Luoyang, then I plan to divide the troops, and I plan to hand over the attack and defense of Yizhou to General Zhang Liao, and General Zhang Jaw, who came later, and as for the direction of Jingzhou, I plan to hand it over to Brother Yun, a few of you." Cao Ang said casually on horseback, looking calm and light, there was no change in expression at all, but Yuan Yun and the others were shocked when they heard it.
Yuan Yun was surprised that he didn't want to lead the troops at all, if the direction of Jingzhou was handed over to him and Xu Yi, then there was no need to guess to know that he Yuan Yun must be the commander, this position that everyone envied, was the most painful torture for Yuan Yun, because what he couldn't stand the most was to see the soldiers he led die in battle, but the war was nothing. I don't want to', dead people are inevitable, and there are still many people who die, plus he Yuan Yun is still handsome, so many times he has to issue some orders for people to die, so Yuan Yun's resistance can be imagined.
As for Xu Yi's brother Xiahou, Dianman was surprised, that is, Cao Ang seemed to trust them too much, and now although they are no longer the gentlemen of the past, but dealing with the entire Jingzhou defense line alone like this is somewhat stressful.
"Brother Cao Ang is not too casual, a few of us have led the army by Brother Yuan alone, and the remaining three of us are completely inexperienced." Xu Yi was the first to speak, and he said it very pertinently, after all, the Jingzhou defense line is too important, once there is any mistake, then Jingzhou's army will pass through Wancheng and face Luoyang, which is really shocking.
Hearing Xu Yi say this, although he felt that Xu Yi was a little timid and afraid of things, he thought about the consequences carefully, and remained silent, feeling that if Cao Ang could change his mind, even if he sent some fierce future like Zhang Liao to assist.
Just when several people were worried, Cao Ang laughed and said: "If you don't try to know if you have this ability, but I have always had enough confidence in you, so you will definitely not let me down this time."
Moreover, your main task is to hold the offensive in the direction of Jingzhou, and I will attack Yizhou from the direction of Chang'an and Hanzhong with General Zhang Liao, and after we have swept away Liu Bei's forces in Yizhou, we will begin to attack Jingzhou from Yizhou.
At that time, we can attack back and forth and take down Liu Qi in Jingzhou, so that Sun Ce in Yangzhou will no longer have any chance to turn the tables. ”
After hearing what Cao Ang said, Yuan Yun immediately became puzzled, so he asked, "Brother Cao Ang, this military strategy was formulated by Guo Jia's military division?" ”
Cao Ang slowed down his horse slightly, and then said with a smile: "Brother Yun finally guessed wrong, the formulation of this strategy was Chen Qun and others, Guo Jiajun did not participate, and the purpose of this strategy is to completely defeat Yizhou when Liu Bei has not yet gained a firm foothold in Yizhou, so that the strength of the south will inevitably be greatly hit, even if we do not succeed, it will make Sun Ce of Yangzhou have scruples, and dare not attack the north with all his might."
Although I don't like Chen Qun either, this strategy is really good, and the other party has no intention of meddling in the affairs of our Gunpowder Army, so I think this is feasible. ”
When Yuan Yun heard Cao Ang say this, he was immediately puzzled: "Guo Jiajunshi's idea, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has always obeyed his words, why didn't Guo Jiajunshi participate this time?" ”
Cao Ang sighed and said: "Because Guo Jia's military division does not approve of the southern expedition, he hopes that we will only take a defensive position, just like when we dealt with Yuan Shao, until Sun Ce's main force crossed the river, and then launched a large-scale counterattack to wipe out all the living forces in the south on our land."
But my father is reluctant to do this now, he thinks that we must take the initiative to stop the southern thieves in the south of the river, so as to show our majesty, and Chen Qun coincides with my father in this regard, so the formulation of the military strategy this time was handed over to him. ”
When Yuan Yun heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "It's just that the imperial court doesn't help us in Luoyang, and now it plans to let us serve as cannon fodder. ”
Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "The imperial court has not interfered with us, how can it be said that we have borrowed a knife to kill people?" ”
Yuan Yun buckled his chin, and then said with a smile: "It's true that what I said is a bit serious, but I'm sure that once we start to launch an offensive against Yizhou and Jingzhou, Chen Qun will inevitably let Yanzhou's main force stay, and make a posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, until we achieve results, or retreat, he will start to attack Sun Ce with all his strength, at that time, Jingzhou and Yizhou will inevitably be greatly injured, even if they want to help Yangzhou, they can't do it, so no matter what the result is, Sun Ce will face the powerful Yanzhou Corps alone." , once the south is defeated, the biggest credit is his Chen Qun's. ”
Dian Man retorted at this time: "How could Prime Minister Cao let Chen Qun be so nonsense, I don't think it's possible." ”
As soon as Dianman's voice fell, he found that starting from Cao Ang, everyone was silent, and he understood in an instant, Cao Cao must have known this result, and he did not object, so it means that he acquiesced to Chen Qun's plan and released the Gunpowder Army to face the military strength of the two major states alone, if it is not for the strength of the Gunpowder Army, this strategy is indeed treating the Gunpowder Army as cannon fodder.
Thinking of this, Dian Man and Cao Ang and the others were silent, although he always reacted not shrewd enough in this kind of deceitful thing, but at this moment, there was also a doubt, that is, was Cao Ang's position as the heir shaken? Otherwise, how could it be treated like this, no matter how you look at this strategy, it kills two birds with one stone, which can not only hit Sun Ce's reinforcements, but also greatly weaken the strength of the gunpowder army.
"Don't think about it, I'm sure that this will be Cao Cheng's final test for the son, once we pass, then the position of the son of the future will be as stable as Mount Tai, and it will never be shaken again." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he winked at a few people around him, and then said with a smile: "How can this test stump our brothers, and do you really think we are cannon fodder?" ”
Cao Ang laughed, then patted his chest and said: "People who regard us as cannon fodder will inevitably taste what cannon fodder is, after all, only we know what the word cannon fodder means." ”
Xu Yi also laughed and said, "What is it without the assistance of the imperial court? They don't look down on those things. ”
Dian Man finally summed up and said: "If you want to do it, you will make it bigger, and when we take Yizhou and Jingzhou, we will lead the army straight into Yangzhou, doesn't Chen Qun's old boy want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" The old men let him only watch it all the time. ”
Yuan Yun saw that the brothers had plucked up great courage, and a smile instantly hung on the corner of his mouth, now that the rifles have been made, I don't believe that I can't do these thousands of years ago army, and at this moment it has reached this critical moment, and the time to test the monster of Luoyang has also arrived, and Luoyang, who has started to fight with all his strength, what kind of strength can burst out, even Yuan Yun himself is looking forward to it.
"It is as soon as the edict arrives, Luoyang has completely turned into a wartime state, all the workshop personnel must be mobilized, let us show the world a good show in the first battle of the Southern Expedition, after Luoyang moves in earnest, the world will also change color." When Cao Ang spoke, his face was full of excitement, because as the Luoyang Commander, no one knew better than him what a terrifying thing it would be once Luoyang turned all the focus into war.
Suddenly, just when a few people were full of pride, they only heard a very immature voice say: "Brothers, even if you go to the front to fight, Luoyang will be handed over to the younger brother to take care of, ensuring that you don't have any worries." ”
As soon as Cao Chong's words fell, he saw that everyone laughed.
