Han Sui was puzzled again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liang Xing sneered: "The lord can show that he responded to Yuan Shao's invitation and sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Xinye, putting on the momentum of attacking Nanyang, but in fact, if Yuan Shao wins, the Central Plains states will inevitably collapse, and the lord can take the opportunity to go north, and take Chang'an without blood, and possess Nanyang, in order to resist Yuan Shao's next invasion." ”

"What if Yuan Shao is defeated," Han Sui asked rhetorically.

Liang Xing was stunned, as if Han Sui's question was very ridiculous, and he had not imagined it in advance.

After a pause, Liang Xing smiled and said: "What the lord said, it's not impossible, it's just that the chance of Zhang Thief winning is too small." However, if Zhang Yuan really won a miraculous victory, at that time his army was extremely powerful, and we should not act rashly, so as not to start another war with him, which would consume our strength in vain, and after he defeated Yuan Shao, he would wave his army to capture Hebei, and when his main force crossed the Chenghe River in the north, then we could send troops to recapture Chang'an. ”

Liang Xingyang sprinkled his words, and Han Sui had already taken both aspects into account.

Han Sui weighed it for a long time and nodded again and again, "Liang Xing's words are indeed to maximize our interests, and it is also the best choice now." ”

After a pause, Han Sui condensed and said: "Then according to Liang Xing's plan, Yuan Zhang is fighting this battle, is it true that Zhang Yuan does not have a chance of winning?"

Previously, Han Sui had superior forces, but was defeated by Zhang Yuan several times, although he hated Zhang Yuan in his heart, he had a new understanding of Zhang Yuan's strength, and he didn't dare to underestimate it anymore.

Liang Xing closed his eyes, stroked his beard slightly, and calculated the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides in his heart.

After a while, Liang Xing opened his eyes and said in an affirmative tone: "Although Zhang Yuan has the Son of Heaven, his strength is too weak, although there is a factional dispute under Yuan Shao, but after all, he has an absolute advantage in troops, and he thinks that Zhang Yuan wants to win, unless a miracle happens." ”

Although Liang Xing did not say no words, the word "miracle" has shown that he has almost no hope for Ren Zhong to win Zhang Yuan.

Han Sui's firm face finally showed a confident expression, and he sighed: "It seems that Zhang Yuan is bound to be defeated, it won't take long for these two rivers to return to Yuan Shao, and my time in Liangzhou will really come to an end." ”

Han Sui was helpless, but he had no choice but to send someone to write a reply to Yuan Shao, promising to send troops north to attack Chang'an.

……

Jiangdong, Moling.

Almost at the same time that Han Sui received Yuan Shao's letter, another letter with the same content was also held by Sun Ce.

"Yuan Shao finally waved his army south, I see our victorious Zhang Da Sima, his miracle, his infinite scenery, I'm afraid it will come to an end." Sun Ce smiled and sighed, and showed Yuan Shao's letter to the Hou Wu.

Zhou Yu read the letter, and his handsome face immediately burst into excitement.

"Gong Jin, in your opinion, should I send troops to attack Huainan at the invitation of Yuan Shao." Sun Ce looked at him.

Zhou Yu was murderous, and said without hesitation: "Needless to say, this is a godsend, Zhang Yuan's main force was dragged by Yuan Shao, and he had no intention of caring about it, this is a good time for us to wave our army to the north, seize Huainan, and enter and merge with the state, all according to Xu Yang." ”

Sun Ce's expression shook up, his fists clenched secretly, and Xiao Wu's face, the fierce murderous aura also burst into flames.

"My lord, I thought. We must not act rashly. "A strategist. but raised objections.

Opponents. It was Zhang Zhao.

Sun Ce frowned. "Zibu. Such a great opportunity. You told me to stand still,"

Zhang Zhao stroked his white beard. Unhurriedly said: "Yuan Shao has the heart to swallow the world. If he defeats Zhang Yuan. The next step is not to capture Liangzhou Hansui. It is to attack our Jiangdong. The lord helped Yuan Shao to fight Zhang Yuan. Isn't it self-inflicted? ”

Sun Ce was stunned. Silent and silent.

Zhou Yu said: "Yuan Shao's strength is incomparable. The fall of the thief is inevitable. Whether we help him or not. Sooner or later, he will attack us. Rather than sit back and wait. It is better to take the opportunity to capture Huainan and the state. Enriching our capabilities. Only in the future will there be a chance to resist Yuan Shao's troops.

Zhang Zhao smiled. "Gongjin is also too impatient. This Huainan and the state. Nature is to be taken. Not now. ”

"Not now," Zhou Yu didn't hear what he meant for a while.

Zhang Zhao said slowly: "Zhang Yuan is still here at this time. He was in Huainan and Bingzhou. There are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If we send an army to attack. In the end, it will be captured. It will also lose a lot of strength, and so, Zhong does not sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight first, and when Zhang Thief's army is defeated and will be destroyed, and the people's hearts under his command will collapse, let's wave our army to the north, and we can take Huainan and even Merge State without much effort, isn't it better. ”

Zhou Yu stopped talking, obviously Zhang Zhao's judgment was more sensible than him.

Zhang Zhao then said: "Besides, there have been rumors recently that Han Sui wants to take advantage of our northern capture of Huainan, and use all the troops of Liangzhou to march east along the river and capture Chaisang in one fell swoop. Chaisang is the gateway to my west, and it is also a springboard for enterprising Liangzhou, which is far more important than Huainan. ”

The last words dispelled the remaining thoughts of raising troops immediately in Sun Ce's heart.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Ce nodded again and again: "What Zibu said is very true, for today's plan, the fisherman's profit is the king's way, and we must not easily consume our own troops." ”

The intention had been decided, but Sun Ce did not dare to disobey Yuan Shao's intentions, so he revised a letter, pretended to reply to Yuan Shao, and promised to respond to his invitation and raise troops to attack Huainan in the north.

Sun Ce then gathered more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Moling area, and played the banner of attacking Huainan in the north, but he did not move, on the one hand, he was vigilant about the movements of Liangzhou, and on the other hand, he closely followed the progress of the decisive battle in the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty.

……

A few days later, Chen Liucheng.

40,000 Zhang troops have arrived here, outside the city to go down to the village, it is late, tomorrow to continue the march.

Chen Liucheng is only a few hundred miles away from the Chenghe River, and it will take a few days to arrive.

Zhang Yuan was determined to lead Yuan Shao to the first line of Guandu where the terrain was more favorable to him, but he could not let Yuan Shao go south too smoothly, he had to lead the main force to the north, delay Yuan Shao's attack, and buy more time for the reinforcement of the Guandu camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Yuanzheng looked at the urgent letters sent from all over the country.

On the Huainan side, Yang Zhi, who stayed in Shouchun, was in a hurry for 800 miles, claiming that Sun Ce had gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there was a great tendency to invade Huainan.

Zu Di, who was stationed in Chang'an, sent an urgent report, claiming that Han Sui had sent 30,000 soldiers and horses to Xinye, and his intention to invade Chang'an was very obvious.

The officials of the other counties also sent secret reports one after another, claiming that the clans in various places were all about to move, and there were many groups of rebels in response to Yuan Shao's trend.

The most serious is the Runan area, which is Yuan Shao's hometown, and several local families have even publicly expressed their support for Yuan Shao, gathered private troops to defend the barriers, and refused to carry out the orders issued by the county to Ren Zhonghou.
