Chapter 58: Li Ru's Scheme
Zuo Feng died, and his death was very desolate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he returned to Beijing with the mood of making a lot of money, he never imagined that Wei Yu's big gift was actually to send him on the road. Even when he died, he didn't understand why a group of Yellow Turban thieves suddenly appeared on the safe rear road. When the knife shattered his internal organs, he finally realized that no matter how much money and food he had, he needed to have a life to spend it.
But Zuo Feng's death could not affect Lu Zhi's determination, and Wei Yu would not save Lu Zhi, nor could he save him, because he knew that this old Confucian would have his own pride and his own ideal of loyalty to the country.
Liu Guanzhang left, and he walked very resolutely.
When Guan Yu took Zhang Fei to say goodbye to Wei Yu secretly, Wei Yu understood what was going on. Liu Xuande was originally Lu Zhi's friend, and it was a matter of freedom to stay. His reason was that he was worried that the teacher would suffer all the way, and he wanted to protect Lu Zhi along the way.
But Wei Yu knew that this was just Liu Bei's way to get out, and when Lu Zhi was still in charge of the three armies, he didn't get the opportunity to display his talents, and Lu Zhi had no chance to show his talents. He wouldn't be stupid enough to believe that Dong Zhuo, who he didn't know, would give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, so it was better to use the excuse of sending Lu Zhi to each other to eat a small part of the yellow scarves in Hebei.
Dong Zhuo came, and he came faster than he imagined.
When the land shook strongly, Dong Zhuo's black-pressed Xiliang Iron Cavalry finally landed outside Guangzong City. Although Dong Zhuo was a little sharp at this time, he was not so unsightly, and after he came to lead the army, he immediately visited Yuan Shu who was sick and Gongsun Zhan, who was also an excellent cavalry general.
These days, Dong Zhuo seems to be only willing to restrain his soldiers and horses, and most of the time the soldiers of the five schools left behind by Lu Zhina are still handed over to the sect members for deployment. Dong Zhuo and Wei Yu have always cooperated with each other in Hedong, and it doesn't matter whether the relationship is good or not, it's just that the interests are different.
Wei Yu went to Li Ru and Dong Zhuo several times and asked for troops to enter Guangzong, but Dong Zhuo was prevaricated by Dong Zhuo on the grounds that the army had just arrived and needed to rest, although Wei Yu was a little dissatisfied, he was still unwilling to touch Dong Zhuo's mold.
But in the past few days, Wei Yu found that Dong Zhuo had moved.
Each Xiliang Iron Cavalry had three or four Qiang Gu Attendants, who not only had to protect their masters in battle, but also fed their masters' BMWs and nourished their masters' armor and weapons during the truce. Now Wei Yu looked around, and it was all these Qiang people who were naked, and they were either putting a kind of animal oil on the armor in their hands, or holding a bright long knife on the whetstone, and this kind of action obviously told others that they were about to go on an expedition!
The Qiang people's singing was cruel and desolate, and in the evening, these Qiang people Gu Zuo opened their voices in the barracks. One person's singing voice was immediately echoed by a group of people, so that the entire imperial army was enveloped in a thick lovesickness.
The men in Liangzhou are the most unsensational, and they will never allow others to touch the last trace of fragility in their hearts. A few elite members of the Flying Bear Army have already burst out, and the whip in their hands has been whipped a few Qiang people who are singing and cheering, they never take the lives of the Qiang people seriously, if they are accidentally killed, they will go to the Qiang tribe to get it, anyway, those Qiang people in order to breed offspring are a woman for several men, and men are as cheap as pigs.
The Qiang people who were beaten screamed and fled in all directions, they admired the law of respecting the strong, and they did not dare to make a sound in the face of the atmosphere of the Flying Bear Army, which was far stronger than themselves, let alone resist.
The singing gradually stopped, and several Liangzhou men seemed to be very satisfied with their "results", and scolded a few words in a foul language that they didn't understand, and then returned to the camp laughing. It's just that their butts haven't been heated yet, and the singing sound of nothingness comes again...
In the big camp, there were already two people sitting opposite each other, one in a light gray plain robe, with a long black hat unique to the Han Dynasty on his head, and a little beard, but looking at the age, he was already a long time old. The other was relatively young, accustomed to white, with a feather fan in his hand and an inscrutable smile on his face.
There was only a few simple foods in the middle, no wine, and a faint white smoke from the light hot tea.
"I think I haven't been masked for half a year."
As soon as Li Ru said Wei Yu's smile, he became even more unscrupulous, that is, he said: "Li Changshi still has the same demeanor, and the younger generation misses it very much."
"It's called the table, Confucianism is just a little longer than Zhongdao, but why should we intersect with the elders and juniors?"
Shaking the feather fan, Wei Yu answered, and slowly spoke, "I don't know why Wen You called Zhongdao to come?" ”
"Ming people don't say secret words, so why should Zhongdao ask knowingly? I don't know how Zhongdao Guan is about my Xiliang Iron Ride? ”
"It's not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest soldier in the world." Wei Yu almost opened his mouth to come, and indeed this Xiliang Iron Cavalry is definitely the first in the world in positional warfare.
"General Dong can be said to be strong now, I think your army is also making preparations for the past few days, if General Dong orders to attack Guangzong, it will be okay for us to cooperate with Zhang Bao."
Li Ru nodded, and then shook his head again, his eyes flickering: "Zhong Dao is afraid that he has misunderstood, this time the target of our army is not in Guangzong." ”
After Li Ru finished speaking, he took out a temporary map, pointed to a city in the northeast, and said: "Zhang Liang may have more force than Zhang Bao, but he is not as thoughtful as Zhang Bao. Moreover, Quyang is not as good as Guangzong, not only is the city short, but also half of the soldiers and horses. ”
Wei Yu looked up at Li Ru in surprise, he admitted that Li Ru was right, but from the perspective of the entire geographical location, Guangzong is an important pass to Julu, and even if Quyang is defeated, it is nothing more than to destroy Zhang Liang's department, but it is 108,000 miles away from Zhang Jiao, the head of the Yellow Turban, and it has no effect on the entire battle situation.
If it is according to the normal commander, he will choose to attack Guangzong, and then the army will come to the city of Julu, and place a soldier and horse in the northeast to prevent Zhang Liang's support, so that he can fight to the death with Zhang Jiao, and after taking Guangzong, the Yellow Turban's morale will be greatly reduced, and then the army will take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate Zhang Liang in one fell swoop to pacify Hebei!
This is the best strategic plan, and it is impossible for a person like Li Ru not to see it, but if he can make such a choice, it must be some force majeure factor that limits him.
Looking at Wei Yu's surprised look, Li Ru finally spoke: "Zhongdao is also surprised, right?" As long as anyone knows a little about the art of war, they will not make a surprise attack on Quyang, but we are helpless, because we don't have much time! ”
Li Ru raised the teacup and drank the hot tea in one gulp, "Compared with Changting Hou, my father-in-law is still too far behind!"
Thinking about it, the Dong family in Longxi is just a strong man, and the Yuan family is the world-famous fourth world and three dukes, and there is no comparison between the two together! General Lu Zhi was recalled by the imperial court this time, and the reason why my father-in-law was able to fill in this thief Zhonglang General was because of Changtinghou's serious illness, but I have observed in the past few days, Changtinghou has already shown signs of recovery, so what does Zhongdao think will happen to us on the day Changtinghou recovers? ”
Zhong Dao couldn't help but remember what Zuo Feng had told him, as long as Liu Hong waited for Yuan Shu to get better, he would find a reason to send Dong Zhuo away, so how would it be? To remove a man's military power is nothing more than to add to the sin that he desires!
Li Ru had already seen through this, so he would change his tactics and attack Quyang! Yuan Shu's illness may be cured, Dong Zhuo really doesn't have much time, and it is almost impossible to break through Guangzong and destroy Zhang Jiao in such a short time. Rather than this, it is better to give up one time, use the courage of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to break through Quyang's fragile defense, and break the Rengong General Zhang Liang is also a great achievement! And during this period, even if Dong Zhuo was really removed from his official position by Yuan Shu, he could still crusade against Zhang Liang, and no matter how ruthless the court was, he would not do too much to a general who was desperately begging for thieves.
Li Ru's vision is indeed vicious, and this kind of kung fu that sees through the essence at a glance may be his excellence. And Wei Yu knows that Li Ru's ability will be vividly displayed in the near future. Of course, that's all for later.
"So this time, I'm here to make a deal with Nakado." After Li Ru finished speaking, he was already observing Wei Yu's face, and then he gathered five fingers: "I need Zhongdao to provide us with five months' military rations." ”
"Oh? Since it's a transaction, I don't know what kind of benefits Wen You can give us? ”
Li Ru's eyelids rolled, and his eyes seemed to shoot a light, "Our army's crusade against Quyang will not move the military horses of the five schools at all, and all of them will be left to the Changting Marquis to control!" ”
Is it possible to hand over the military rights ahead of schedule? Wei Yu smiled and stared at Li Ru without showing weakness at all, neither of them spoke, and the tense air of the scene seemed to be about to freeze.
"Hahaha, Wen You is really joking." Wei Yu was uncomfortable by this atmosphere, so he could only take the lead in speaking, "As Wen You said, if you want to crusade against Quyang Zhang Liang, it is nothing more than blocking the mouth of the imperial court to offend General Dong, so even if I let you move the soldiers and horses of the five schools, do you dare to move?" In terms of general reasoning, it is a wrong strategy to go east to crusade against Zhang Liang, and when the time comes, it will really be my lord's turn to be in charge of Hebei, and General Dong will use the soldiers and horses of the five schools to crusade against Zhang Liang. ”
"Huh." With a dry laugh, Li Ru said: "Even if the imperial court punishes the father-in-law, it is just to resign and go home, but what does it make if the father-in-law has an official position in Liangzhou?" But the situation of Changtinghou is different, Zhongdao must want Changtinghou to make the first contribution of this beheading, if we have to fight to break the net and wantonly mobilize the soldiers and horses of the five schools to march eastward, then can the 25,000 soldiers of Changtinghou himself really be able to stop the 200,000 Yellow Turban thieves in the two places of Guangzong Julu? ”
After Li Ru finished speaking, he blew the tea and said, "Most of our army are cavalry, and everyone and horses have to eat food. Now when we go to Shangdang, Jinyang and other places, the grain and grass are also consumed for a long time, as long as Zhongdao allows us five months of military rations, then from now on it will be friendly and mutually beneficial, so isn't it all happy? ”
Wei Yu was speechless, he admitted that he was still too far behind an old fritter like Li Ru, and he thought that the general's chess was a dead opponent of others. Li Ru knows the art of language very well, first threatening, and finally stating the benefits, and under such an arrangement, it is almost forcing people to nod their heads in agreement.
Wei Yu gritted his teeth and raised three fingers, "There is too much military ration in May, three months at most. ”
Li Ru put down the teacup in his hand and said without refusal: "Four months is our biggest concession. ”
"Deal!"
