Chapter 199: Chestnut in the Fire (Thanks to Qianyu for your 3,000 starting point coin reward support!) )
Getting Zhang is a surprise, but the chaos in Chang'an makes Yang Shuo even more worried, just like this, the continuous war in Chang'an will sooner or later become a ruin, even if Yang Shuo occupies Chang'an in the end, it is just a dilapidated city, so how to make the three forces suffer a big loss and quickly end the battle of Chang'an has become a nightmare that plagues Yang Shuo's heart.
Speechless all night, on the second day, Zhang Ji embarked on the footsteps of going to Luoyang at the request of Yang Shuo, and when Zhang Ji left, Yang Shuo convened Liu Ji, Fan Zhongyan, and Fang Xuanling to discuss how to solve the matter of Chang'an.
"The lord is the general of Zhenxi, and he has the military of Yongliang and Yongliang, if the lord leads the army into Chang'an, he will inevitably be resisted by the three parties, which is not good for us!" Liu Ji took the lead in saying that the rebellion in Chang'an was originally his advice to Yang Shuo, and the purpose was to let the three parties consume each other's combat power, and in the end, Yang Shuo benefited from the fish, but with the increase in the war, the increasing strength of the three parties has gradually become a little out of control.
"The lord's policy is good, but it also makes the land of Sanfu fall into a place of no return!" Fan Zhongyan's tone seemed to have a sense of blame, he had always loved the people like a son, and he really couldn't imagine the people of Chang'an living in dire straits.
Si Li's school captain's mansion includes, Henan Yin, Hanoi County, Hedong County, Hongnong County, Zuo Feng Ling, Jing Zhao Yin, and Right Fufeng Seven Counties, and although Yang Shuo is nominally Si Li's school captain, the territory controlled by Yang Shuo is only three counties, so as long as Yang Shuo is ambitious, the land of the other four counties will be Yang Shuo's sooner or later, strictly speaking, the people of Chang'an are his Yang Shuo's people.
"War seems to be beyond my imagination!" Since the melee in Chang'an, the three parties have been fighting with each other, continuously transporting soldiers and horses from the rear, and it seems that they will not give up until they take Chang'an, and when the strength of the tripartite war reaches 300,000, Liu Ji understands that all this is beyond Yang Shuo's control.
"It won't do us much good if the battle of Chang'an continues, so let's think about how to end this war as soon as possible!" Yang Shuo said that ending the battle of Chang'an as soon as possible is not only to give Zhang Ji and Du Ji a satisfactory explanation, but also to occupy Chang'an and other places as soon as possible to further enhance their power.
"I don't approve of marching into Chang'an now, it's early summer, the grass is flourishing on the grassland, it is the most rampant time for the cavalry on the grassland, at this time it is quite unfavorable for us to send troops, and when the snow covers the mountains, the grassland is vast and snow-white, without the benefit of cavalry, the battle of Chang'an will soon calm down, and I will wait for the troops to be done once and for all!" Liu Jidao, the purpose of the Battle of Chang'an was to consume the troops of the three families, and this was the time when the strength of the three families was at their peak, and everything that had been done in the early stage of the army at this time came to naught.
"Don't wait for me!" Yang Shuo sighed, at this time and that time, in history, Yuan Shu was called emperor in Shouchun in 197 AD, that is, this year, Cao Cao and Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu, Cao Cao's power also further developed, and in 198 AD, Lu Bu hanged himself in Baimenlou, Xuzhou was included in Cao Cao's rule, and Cao Cao's power progressed strongly, until the Battle of Guandu broke out in 199.
In this process, Cao Cao's power has been growing, but now it is different, with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Chen Youliang, Zhang Dingbian, these careerists in the early Ming Dynasty joined, I am afraid that even if Yuan Shu finally defeats Cao Cao, it will definitely not be better, Cao Cao's power can not be developed, and Yuan Shao in the north has not been curbed by a large force, and the power is growing day by day, and the heavy responsibility of resisting Yuan Shao in the north will fall on Yang Shuo's shoulders, so Yang Shuo must control Chang'an as soon as possible to strengthen the forces and prepare for war with Yuan Shao.
"What is the current state of the Battle of Chang'an?" Yang Shuo asked.
"Ma Teng Han Sui's family is dominant, and Duan Xuan joined, the power is the strongest, Li Dao Guo Yan is equal to Zhang Lu to form an alliance to jointly attack Ma Teng and others!" Liu Jidao.
Zhang Lu and Li Dao Guo Sui and others joined forces, one has more food, the other has strong soldiers, the two of them are afraid that they can stick to Ma Teng Han Sui and others, the three forces, Ma Teng Han Sui is the strongest, followed by Li Dao Guo Yan, and finally Zhang Lu, now they have joined forces to let Yang Shuo have the idea of being slowly broken!
Fang Xuanling, who had been silent for a long time and had not spoken, said: "Instead of sitting and waiting for the result, it is better to take the initiative!" ”
"What does Xuan Ling mean?" Yang Shuo was puzzled, there were only 40,000 soldiers and horses that he could attack, and losing it among the 300,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an was a drop in the ocean, Fang Xuanling must have understood, but why did he still say that?
"Although our army is small, we still have a fight in the face of all forces!" Saying that, Fang Xuanling looked at a few people and explained: "I mean, sitting here, we can only become spectators, and we can't control the situation in Chang'an, if we can integrate into it and participate in decision-making, we may be able to dominate the direction of the war, and even become the final winner of the battle of Chang'an!" ’
Get involved! Winning in chaos? The meaning of Fang Xuanling's words was condensed into these eight words, but it made Liu Ji and Fan Zhongyan frown, the battle of Chang'an was so chaotic, and the 300,000 army was fighting in it, and if you didn't pay attention to it, it would be too late to dodge, and you would try your best to integrate into it, isn't this the way to die?
Blend in! Get involved! In an instant, Yang Shuo seemed to have caught something, but he didn't understand the essentials, and asked, "Can Xuan Ling be more detailed?" ”
Fang Xuanling said: "If there is no accident in the tripartite war, the war will definitely last until the autumn and winter snow comes, but if we participate in it and disrupt the situation, we may be able to concentrate our strength to eliminate one of them, and finally slowly figure it out, and the major event can be decided in a month or two!" ”
"Chestnut in the fire?" Liu Ji's eyes flashed, and he lost his voice.
Be a cat's paw? Winning in chaos? Yang Shuo woke up instantly. According to Liu Ji's strategy, it can be summed up by a proverb, that is, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and Fang Xuanling's strategy is also a model that is more respected by modern society, go out and integrate with the world, and develop and grow yourself!
In general, one is conservative, the other is aggressive, and the result depends on the level of the person who plays chess.
In April of the second year of Jian'an, in the battle of Chang'an, which lasted for a month, ushered in another outbreak, before the three parties attacked each other, and now it is Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Lu who jointly complement each other's advantages and disadvantages to fight against Ma Teng Han Sui, the war escalated again, and the two sides gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside Chang'an City to arrange troops and kill inseparable, and the blood flowed like a river.
On the outskirts of Chang'an, on the left side of the camp of Ma Teng and Han Sui's army, the same large-scale camp tent stood there and Ma Teng and Han Sui were in a three-legged position. After the Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng was killed by the rebels, Ma Teng, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others rose up together in Liangzhou, and then became brothers with Han Sui and jointly took charge of Liangzhou. Duan Xuan, a native of Liangzhou, was originally Dong Zhuo's general, and after Dong Zhuo's death, he led the army to be stationed in Zuo Fengling.
Duan Xuan was reluctant to participate in the dispute in Chang'an, but the conditions proposed by Ma Teng and Han Sui to jointly attack Li Dao and Guo Yan were too tempting, but when he found out that he had been deceived, it was too late, and the 30,000 horses he led could not be pulled out of this muddy water.
