Chapter 1083: Yuan Shu must be destroyed with his own hands
When discussing the Lujiang issue, Wang Shouren did not express his opinion and kept pondering. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He asked for a meeting late at night, and he must have suggested something.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Shouren entered the house, he said: "Lord, my subordinates think that the Lujiang problem cannot be regarded in isolation. ā
"I'm just going to hear Mr. Yangming's opinion."
"The lord wants to fight against Shouchun, so why is it?"
Liu Mang smiled slightly.
His staff are all powerful people who read poetry and books. A common trait of these people - there is something to say without being straightforward!
Liu Mang is used to it.
Without thinking, Liu Mang replied directly: "Righteousness!" ā
"Yes!" Wang Shouren nodded and talked eloquently: "'Yi', from me from sheep." 'I' is the guard of honor, and 'sheep' is the sacrifice. The righteous are the right people in the world. In short, the righteous are the hearts of the people. When it starts from the end of the micro, there is the meaning of the end of the micro; When you control the world, you need to have the righteousness of the world. ā
Liu Mang nodded.
Wang Shouren was right.
The so-called righteousness, simply put, is the will of the people.
To gain the support of the people is to have righteousness.
In charge of a county, you need the support of the people of a county. The land of a state needs the support of the people of a state. In this way, you can stand firm.
And Liu Mang's ambition is in the world, so he needs to win the support of all the people in the world.
The greater the power, the greater the righteousness required.
How to get righteousness?
Do what the people want.
Liu Mang did a lot of things that the people hoped for and won the cheers of the people.
However, Liu Mang also did a lot of things that the people did not want, such as starting a war.
Although, throughout the ages, many wars have been under the banner of "peace", but wars are wars, and wars will definitely affect the lives of the people, not what the people want.
Another example is the court struggle that has just been quelled.
Liu Mang's handling is already very cautious. However, the streets and alleys of Luoyang are still unavoidable, and various rumors are inevitable.
This time the court struggle made Liu Mang lose a lot of popular support.
The elimination of the Shouchun puppet Han court is something that the people of the world are happy to see, and it is a great opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people and gain more public support.
Wang Shouren continued: "My lord, although the battle of Shouchun has not yet begun, the end of the fall of the puppet Han court has been clear. Mencius said: The gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit. Now, the Lord is in charge of the world, and righteousness should come first in everything. ā
"What Mr. Yang Ming means is that the elimination of Yuan Shu's puppet Han court is where righteousness lies. And the regional battle is just a small profit? ā
"Yes, not really."
"Please give me advice."
"What the lord said is good, eliminate the hypocrite, and righteousness. Seize the city and take the land, and benefit also. However, in terms of the current situation, it is difficult to take righteousness. ā
"yes."
It is precisely this that Liu Mang is worried about.
The old nest of the puppet Han court is in Shouchun, and Shouchun is in Jiujiang County. Liu Bei's Xuzhou army will be under the city of Shouchun at any time. The Xuzhou army broke through Shouchun City and eliminated the puppet Han court, and Liu Bei would have both righteousness and benefit.
Wang Shouren finally said the key: "My subordinates think that Yuan Shu and the puppet Han court will definitely be destroyed." However, it can't be destroyed by Liu Xuande! ā
As soon as Wang Shouren's words came out, Liu Mang's eyes lit up!
That's right!
That's the crux of the matter!
Liu Mang's 86 intelligence was not given for nothing! There is no need for Wang Shouren to say more, Liu Mang already knows what to do!
If you want to avoid Yuan Shu from being destroyed by Liu Bei, you must temporarily leave a way for Yuan Shu to escape!
Let Yuan Shu escape from the encirclement set by Liu Bei and get into the trap set by himself! The annihilation of Yuan Shu by his own Luoyang army, not Liu Bei's Xuzhou army, is the key!
Thinking through this layer, Liu Mang suddenly became enlightened.
The tactical questions that have not yet been fully planned have been answered!
ā¦ā¦
The meeting continued, and there was no need to discuss it again, Liu Mang had already made a plan and deployed it directly.
The general headquarters of the Shouchun Campaign was located in Xu County, Yingchuan, and Liu Mang personally sat in charge.
The front-line troops were divided into two divisions, Wang Zhonghei's department, stationed in Xinji, and Yue Fei's department, stationed in Linying.
When the war began, Wang Zhong's troops moved south along Yingshui on the border between Runan and Chen, and the targets of the attack were Xihua, Ruyang, Nanton, Xiangxian and Ruyin.
Yue Fei's division moved south along the east bank of the river, and the targets of the attack were Dingying, Shangcai, and Pingyu. After reaching Pingyu, Yue Fei's troops turned east, attacked Gushi, and made a posture of continuing to the east, converging with Wang Zhong's troops, and attacking Ruyin.
In this arrangement, it is quite important to attach importance to the eastern part of Runan and ignore the western part of Runan.
And this is exactly what Liu Mang deliberately deployed after being inspired by Wang Shouren.
Such a layout will create a false impression for Yuan Shu, making him think that Liu Mang's Luoyang army will unite with Liu Bei's Xuzhou army and attack Shouchun from the north and east.
Liu Mang laid out this way, not only to confuse Yuan Shu, but also to confuse Liu Bei. made Liu Bei mistakenly think that Liu Mang had the intention of attacking Shouchun first.
Everyone knows the meaning of taking the lead in breaking Shouchun.
The Luoyang army is heading south, and Liu Bei must be in a hurry. Worried that Liu Mang would rob him of his immortal achievements, Liu Bei had no mind and steadily launched a layout around Shouchun, but would adopt a more simple and crude tactic to directly launch a strong attack on Shouchun.
Although Yuan Shu has reached the end of the road, it has been operating in the Central Plains for many years, and Shouchun, as the capital of the puppet Han court, is not easy to conquer.
Moreover, even if Liu Bei launched a strong attack on Shouchun at any cost, because of his lack of preparation, it would be difficult to form an encirclement of Shouchun and completely block Yuan Shu's retreat.
What Liu Mang hoped for was that Yuan Shu would abandon Shouchun and leave under the panic.
There is the Luoyang Army in the north and the Xuzhou Army in the east, and the only directions that Yuan Shu can retreat from are the west and south.
To the south, it is blocked by the Yangtze River. And the Yangtze River in that area is controlled by the little overlord Sun Ce.
Although Sun Ce and Yuan Shu have old friends, the two sides have broken up. In the current situation, Sun Ce would not be stupid enough to help the public enemy of the world.
In this way, Yuan Shu's retreat was only one direction left - the western part of Lujiang County.
The western part of Lujiang County is the Dabie Mountainous Area.
Yuan Shu, who was at the end of his rope, would definitely throw himself there, using Dabie Mountain as a hiding place for his last breath.
However, Yuan Shu would not have thought that Liu Mang would use Dabie Mountain as his burial place!
In addition to Wang Zhongsi and Yue Fei's two armies, Liu Mang also arranged a surprise soldier all the way!
Ordered Nanyang to meet the spring department, and dispatched a team, led by Qin Qiong and Lin Chong, along the border of Yuzhou and Jingzhou, to the south first, and advanced into Dabie Mountain!
ā¦ā¦
The extermination of Yuan Shu by the Luoyang army was the focus of the Battle of Shouchun.
The seizure of Lujiang County is difficult to judge the pros and cons, so I simply don't focus on it. Depending on the development of the war, it is good to act on the spot.
The deployment has been decided, and all parts are ready.
ā¦ā¦
It is no secret that Liu Mang wants to eliminate Yuan Shu and Shouchun and the puppet Han court.
Liu Mang was calculating, and Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and other princes were not idle.
They all want to seek greater benefits in this Central Plains feast.
And Liu Bei began to attack Yuan Shu last year.
Now, the Xuzhou army has occupied more than half of Jiujiang County, Liu Bei certainly hopes that before Liu Mang, he will take Jiujiang, break Shouchun, and destroy Yuan Shu and the puppet Han court with his own hands! (To be continued.) )
