Chapter 0404: Take precautions against Yuan Shao
The eldest grandson Wuji is going to the eldest son.
The passage road to Nie County was opened, and the eldest grandson Wuji could go directly to the south and rush to the eldest son through Nie County.
Liu Mang took Kou Zhun and Lin Chong to the southwest, passed through the border, and entered the east of the river.
As soon as he arrived in Pingyang, Shi Jin rushed over from Anyi.
"Lord, you can't go to Anyi for the time being."
"Oh?"
It turned out that Xu Shiji received a message from Wang Meng in Anyi, telling Liu Mang not to go deep into the Yanchi area for the time being. The details are not elaborated.
Wang Meng's talent, Liu Mang is convinced.
He had a reason to remind him.
The team was stationed in Binh Duong.
In Hedong County, Fenshui and its tributary Hushui divide the southeast and north of the river.
In the south, it is centered on An-eup and Yanchi. In the north, Binh Duong is the center.
Liu Mang integrated the upper party, expelled Zhang Yang, exterminated the royal house, and had great prestige in Bingzhou and Hedong regions.
Although the northeastern part of the river does not have a clear belonging, because Taiyuan in the north and the party in the east, they are all under the jurisdiction of Liu Mang. Therefore, although Liu Mang did not garrison troops in the northeast of the river, it had been tacitly placed under his jurisdiction, and other forces did not dare to set foot in it again.
Here, it has stabilized.
……
can't go to Anyi for the time being, Tong Xiangyu's idea of opening a post house in Anyi can't be realized. But the shopkeeper Tong is an optimist, and his brain is alive, so he quickly started the idea of Pingyang.
Binh Duong, during the Warring States period, was the capital of Korea. Although the prosperity is not there, the grandeur of the old capital still exists.
"Liu Tingshi, the goose opened a post house in Pingyang, okay?"
"Shopkeeper Tong thinks Pingyang is good?"
"It's dripping!"
"Let's go then."
"Thank you, Liu Tingshi, goose is looking for a suitable house."
Finding a house is not easy.
The location of the post house is very important, and there are requirements for the structure, area, and courtyard of the house.
In Pingyang City, the most suitable place is where Liu Mang and others stay.
This was originally a post house, and when Qin Qiong and others transported salt and stone, they settled here. Later, it was also here that Liu Bi was kidnapped by Ma Wei.
Liu Mang and others came here to find someone. The original shopkeeper here was worried about being retaliated against by Wang Wushan, so Liu Mang fulfilled his promise and moved the shopkeeper to the interior of Taiyuan and gave him the house land.
This inn. It can be counted as Liu Mang's property.
Here, it is the most suitable.
Tong Xiangyu and Yan Qing are lovers, Yan Qing is Liu Mang's closest brother, and he was the first to follow Liu Mang. Liu Mang has long had the heart to appreciate Yan Qing, and now is an opportunity.
"Shopkeeper Tong. You don't need to look for a house, here is for you to open a post house. ”
"Forehead drop god!" Tong Xiangyu couldn't believe it, her eyes lit up, "But, the goose doesn't have so much money to buy this house, isn't it okay to pay on credit?" ”
"No credit, this house is free for you."
"O dripping god! Don't joke about Liu Tingshi. ”
This good thing is too big, greedy for money like Tong Xiangyu, I can't believe it. I don't dare to accept it.
"Shopkeeper Tong, I'm not joking. It's free for you to open a post house, but I have three conditions. ”
Don't say three conditions, as long as you can save money, it is thirty conditions, and Tong Xiangyu is willing to agree.
"First, the secluded independent courtyard in the back is reserved for the exclusive use of the state capital."
"How dripping!"
"Second, the officials of the state capital and the county government passed through Binh Duong. You are in charge of the reception. ”
Tong Xiangyu is shrewd. "Stay, no problem. But eat and drink, the goose is afraid that the goose will drip and the cook will not serve well......"
Liu Mang smiled secretly.
He knew that Tong Xiangyu was not afraid that the cook would not be able to cook well. Instead, I am afraid that there will be too many officials and too many expenses.
"Don't worry, eat and drink and pay the bills."
"Good!"
And this good thing? Tong Xiangyu hurriedly agreed, and didn't even have time to add the end note of his habit.
"Third, I'm going to arrange for someone to be in your shop."
"Okay!"
The matter of the post house is so decided.
Tong Xiangyu is doing things in a hurry. Immediately tidy up the house and buy things to open a store. The mood is very beautiful, and I hum my hometown tune when I work.
……
After receiving a letter from Liu Bowen's eldest son, Liu Mang rushed to the Shaanxi family to discuss matters related to Jizhou.
In Jizhou, the dispute between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan has entered the decisive stage.
In the Bohai Sea of Jizhou, the two sides clashed several times, and Gongsun Zhan, with his powerful cavalry, inflicted heavy losses on Yuan Shao one after another.
Yuan Shao's troops have been defeated and retreated, and have now retreated to the central and southern parts of Jizhou, in the area of Jieqiao.
"Boundary Bridge?"
To be honest, Liu Mang's memory in his previous life didn't know where the boundary bridge was. It's just that the boundary bridge reminds him of Zhao Yun.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan fought successively in Panhe and Jieqiao, Gongsun Chan was defeated, and Zhao Yun appeared and saved Gongsun Chan.
And now, Liu Mang has finally figured it out.
Jieqiao is located at the junction of Anpingguo, Qingheguo, Wei County and Julu County in Jizhou. Further southwest from here is Yuan Shao's old nest - Wei County.
Historically, Yuan Shao won the final victory.
Now, history has departed from its original trajectory, can Yuan Shao still win?
"Yes!" Liu Bowen is very sure.
Liu Mang is now most willing to listen to Liu Bowen, Su Dingfang, Xu Da and others analyze strategies and tactics, and whenever there is such an opportunity, he is always very serious and modest.
"The previous battles between the two sides were all fought in the plains. Gongsun Boqi has the most elite light cavalry except for Xiliang. The two sides fought, with a total strength of 10,000 or 100,000 troops, and the formation spread out, which could be as wide as several miles. Gongsun Boqi can use light cavalry as two wings, and his mobility far exceeds that of the Jizhou army. That's why they won several battles in a row. ”
Liu Mang nodded again and again.
"And if the two sides fight a decisive battle at the boundary bridge, Gongsun Boqi will be defeated."
Liu Bowen has been following Liu Mang for a long time, and the master and slave get along more and more harmoniously and tacitly.
Liu Mang sincerely asks for advice, Liu Bowen is good at enlightenment, every time he interprets strategy and tactics, he always leaves some key points, so that Liu Mang can exercise his own analysis.
Close to Zhu Zhechi.
Liu Mang gets along with these later generations all day long, and his strategic and tactical vision is improving day by day.
"Gongsun Zhan's superiority is in his light cavalry troops, and in the open plains, the superiority of light cavalry is fully displayed. In the area of the boundary bridge, the road was narrow, and the troops of both sides could not greatly spread to the two wings, and the mobile advantage of Gongsun Zhan's light cavalry troops could not be brought into play. ”
Liu Bowen nodded approvingly.
Yuan Shao's victory is not a result that Liu Mang wants to see, but must face.
As soon as the fighting in Jizhou stopped, Yuan Shao's goal was likely to turn to the west, and the state must prepare in advance.
At present, the strategic focus of the state is Hedong. The force is not enough to fight on both sides. We must try to avoid another war with Yuan Shao.
What to do?
It is necessary for the three counties of Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Shangdang to strengthen their defenses, but it is not enough.
We must try to make Yuan Shao be contained, at least with some scruples.
The only thing that could distract Yuan Shao was the other princes around Jizhou.
In addition to Liu Mang, Liu Yu in Youzhou is a good man and will not make enemies to Yuan Shao.
Zhang Miao of Hanoi and Cao Cao of Yanzhou are all allies of Yuan Shao's same camp, although they each have their own intentions to find excuses not to help Yuan Shao, they will never take the initiative to make trouble for Yuan Shao.
Among the princes near Jizhou, only Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, remained...... (To be continued.) )
