Chapter 2: Unexpected Joy
The crusade against Xuzhou seems to be no longer a matter at the meeting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Liu Bei's strength has increased greatly, and he can almost compete with Lu Bu. Now one of the two of them is Xuzhou Mu, the other is Zhendong General, both of them want to take Xuzhou as their own, and now Cao Cao has no Donggu, and Yuan Shu is even more beaten. The two forces, which are already deeply contradictory, are afraid that they are about to make trouble.
For Cao Cao, such a situation was naturally helpful for him to be able to seize Xuzhou. Even Cheng Yu said: "Now Liu Bei lives in Xuzhou, but he can only garrison Xiaopei, and there must be resentment in his heart." Moreover, he was originally the younger brother of Gongsun Zhan, stationed in the plains to contain Yuan Shao. However, Yuan Shao is powerful, the plains change hands, if Liu Bei can't get Xuzhou, then no one in the south can give Gongsun Zan support. Therefore, Liu Bei must be determined to win Xuzhou. Since Na Lu Bu fled from Chang'an, he has traveled all over the world, and now he finally has a place to stay. Chen Gong is a person who aspires to the world, and the two of them will not easily give up Xuzhou no matter what.
In the past, Yuan Highway sat in Yangzhou, and there were more soldiers and horses. The Northern Expedition to Xuzhou was not allowed, all because Liu Bei and Lu Bu abandoned their previous suspicions and jointly resisted foreign humiliation. Now that Yuan Highway has been defeated, his strength has been greatly damaged, and he is no longer able to plot against Xuzhou. As long as the lord releases his words, he will recuperate this year. Then Lu Bu and Liu Bei will inevitably fight to fight for Xuzhou. At that time, the lord can naturally take Xuzhou lightly. ”
As soon as Cheng Yu's words were finished, Xun Yu on the side also nodded again and again: "Zhongde's words are very good. However, although Liu Bei's strength has increased greatly, in the face of Lu Bu, there are still two brothers with whom he can fight, but Liu Bei's subordinates have no good plans, and Chen Gong and Chen Deng are both geniuses in the world. Liu Bei must not be Lu Bu's opponent this time. The dignified Xuzhou Mu was driven out of Xuzhou, and the lord could use this excuse to go east to Xuzhou, which can be said to be famous. ”
"But Yuan Shao in the north, the lord must be on guard." Dong Zhao on the side said, "There is news that Hebei has recently moved troops and horses frequently, although we all guess that this is Yuan Shao to pacify Gongsun Zan in order to fight a war, so he mobilized soldiers and horses to Zhongshan and Hejian. But you must not take it lightly, after all, the victory of the lord in this battle can be said to be a shock to the world, so it is difficult to say whether Yuan Shao will change his mind and take the opportunity to attack Yanzhou. ”
Gao Ye said on the side: "I heard that Yuan Shao's guy asked Yuan Xi's kid for the youngest daughter of the Zhongshan Zhen family a few years ago?" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Exactly, but the Zhen family, like the Mi family, is a wealthy businessman with a rich family." I think that Yuan Shao is mostly interested in the Zhen family's property. What's more, the Zhen family was originally in Zhongshan, which was a fulcrum for Yuan Shao's northern attack on Gongsun Zhan. Yuan Shao's move, the purpose of the political marriage is greater than others, but it can also be seen from this that Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zhan's heart in the north, how resolute he was. ”
"That being said, you can't take it lightly." Xun You nodded and said, "Gongsun Chan is in Youzhou, this year's crusade and next year's crusade will be the same." But if Yuan Shao makes a false appearance of the Northern Expedition, but suddenly attacks my Yanzhou, if we are defenseless, I am afraid that we will be in a hurry at that time. ”
Cao Cao listened to the opinions of the strategists, and nodded frequently, although the situation is very good now, but Yuan Shao has to guard against it. He was originally in Yanzhou, and he could also act as a strategic buffer between him and Yuan Shu, but now that Yuan Shu was defeated by his own battle, it is still unknown whether Yuan Shao will continue to recognize the non-aggression pact between the two families at this time. There should be no problem in the crusade against Xuzhou, the question is how to not be attacked by Yuan Shao without any accidents in the process of crusading against Xuzhou.
His eyes swept over the next crowd, and he saw that everyone was discussing, only Gao Ye had a sleepy expression, and then Jia Xu had a face that had nothing to do with himself. Cao Cao immediately spoke: "Wenhe, everyone is discussing, why don't you say a word?" Tell me, what do you think of the situation now? ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "The current situation, what you have said is a little bit, and you also feel that the situation in front of the lord is when the east is in Xuzhou and Yuan Shao in the north." As for the west and the south, don't worry about it for the time being. ”
As soon as Jia Xu spoke, Gao Ye came to his senses. Speaking of which, I drank and chatted with Guo Jia and Zhao Yun last night, and I drank until the second half of the night. Now that the two of them have their own families, it is becoming more and more difficult to get together like this. And over the years, Cao Cao's rule has also been in constant turmoil, Guo Jia, this guy, Cao Cao is fighting wherever he goes, Zhao Yun has been training with the army, and now he commands the cavalry and fights with Cao Cao. On the contrary, it was Gao Ye, Cao Cao basically didn't take him with him when he was fighting, either guarding Yingchuan for him, or cooperating with him to divide his troops, so that Gao Ye couldn't see the two of them very much. Therefore, last night's big drink, the high night of drinking, is still dizzy. However, Jia Xu, the old fox, has not had any dealings with him since he surrendered. It is said that he is good at protecting himself, and he will force him today, and he should be relieved.
Therefore, Gao Ye opened his mouth and smiled: "Wenhe, I see that you have a good face, and you must be confident." If you have something to say, just say it. It's not crisp to say that it's half hidden and half hidden. ”
Jia Xu was almost angry when he heard this, he knew best what the expression on his face was. If you have a good face, let the ghost go. Therefore, Jia Xu looked at Gao Ye in surprise, and saw that Gao Ye's face was full of expressions of "I understand you", and it was also a burst of slander. However, Gao Ye's status under Cao Cao was extraordinary, and Cao Cao also looked at him expectantly after listening to Gao Ye's words. Although he is accustomed to protecting himself, when it is time to speak, he has to say no.
"Back to the lord, think about it, then Yuan Shao is now taking care of the northern Gongsun Zhan, and secondly, taking care of the face of the Yuan family, and he can't easily break the contract. Moreover, the lord had already given up the position of general to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was happy in his heart, so the possibility of coming to attack the lord was not very great. If Yuan Shao is the Northern Expedition Gongsun Chan this year, it will be after May, when the spring is warm in Youzhou. And if the lord wants to attack Xuzhou, he naturally has to leave enough time, waiting for Lu Bu and Liu Bei to start a war. In this way, if the lord wants to send troops, it must be in June and July.
The lord is now defeating Yuan Shu, and his morale is booming, Yuan Shao saw that the lord did not send troops again, but recuperated, and naturally knew that there was no chance to attack Yanzhou. If it is a strong attack, it will force the lord to Gongsun Zhan's side at that time, and the gains outweigh the losses. In this way, Yuan Shao will definitely not send troops to Yan. At most, send an emissary to ask for some benefits. As long as the lord appeases the envoy, what worries does Yuan Shao have all the way? ”
As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, he was fully approved. Everyone is a smart person, and Jia Xu's analysis is even more penetrating, how can everyone disagree? It's just that in addition to Gao Ye and Guo Jia, who have long known his skills, even Xun Yu has only discovered that the newcomer next to Cao Cao is really brilliant and extraordinary. This is a surprise for Xun Yu. This person has great talents, and he will definitely be able to help Cao Cao calm down the troubled times as soon as possible. Even if you can't, can you help yourself share more government affairs? In Cheng Yu's words, the lord is the lord, and this kind of vision of knowing people is really comparable to others.
Jia Xu's talent was exposed, which was an unexpected joy for Xun Yu and other colleagues. However, the high night after the meeting was over, and it was very happy at the moment. Because Li Zhu, who went to Changsha to find Zhang Zhongjing with Gao Ye and Hua Tuo's letters, finally succeeded in returning to Yingyin with Zhang Zhongjing. However, Gao Ye's overjoy, not because Zhang Ji finally arrived, but because Li Zhu's document came, saying that Zhang Ji was escorted by his family of disciples Gan Ning and others.
Nothing else matters, how can the word Gan Ning make Gao Ye unhappy? If nothing else, this Gan Ning is the famous general Gan Xingba of Eastern Wu in history, then for Cao Jun, it can be said to be like a tiger with wings. Although Gan Ning was quite rebellious in his youth, he often gathered a group of light teenagers, and he Gan Ning became the leader. Flocks of birds, with bows and arrows, bird feathers on their heads, and bells on their bodies, wander around. In addition, Gan Ning, this guy kills people lightly, hides and dies, and has a great reputation. The people he served, dressed in splendid clothes, when staying, they used splendid to maintain the boat, and when they left, they had to cut off and abandon them, so as to show that they were rich and luxurious, and they were called "brocade thieves" at the time. But later Gan Ning had an epiphany, restrained his behavior, and began to read. Later, he went to Liu Biao to serve as an official, and then served under Huang Zu, and finally became famous under Sun Quan. The first battle of the Weixukou and the robbery of the Wei camp made Gan Ning famous all over the world.
If this Gan Xingba is really here, Cao Cao's future naval army will naturally not have to worry about not having a suitable general. Although Cai Mao is proficient in water warfare, he is a Jingzhou clan after all, and Cao Cao at the time of Chibi will kill Cai Mao, and he is not without suspicion and worry. Now, if Gan Ning can be effective, then there will be a foundation for crusading against Jiangdong in the future. Speaking of which, if he had won Gan Ning, should he have suggested Cao Cao earlier and started preparing for the navy? However, preparing a navy is not something that can be completed overnight, not only must there be suitable waters to practice the navy, but even the construction of warships also requires professional people.
But none of this is important, it's the last word to go and meet Zhang Ji and Gan Ning first. God bless, this Gan Ning, but it must be Gan Xingba, who is praised as Jiang Biao's tiger minister in the history books, so that Cao Cao's desire to dominate the world can also be realized earlier. Moreover, now because of himself, history has been deflected, Cao Cao did not massacre in Xuzhou, Bian Rang did not die unlucky in the hands of Cao Cao, the battle of Wancheng was settled, and Cao Ang and Dian Wei were alive and well. The existence of Yingchuan Academy has helped Cao Cao attract a large number of talents, and now even Zhang Ji, who has never served Cao Cao, can come to Yingchuan, just a Gan Ning, what is impossible?
