Guo Jia's worries are actually Liu Yi's worries. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit Wèn Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) Dongting Lake Xinzhou, in fact, is similar to the situation of the Dazepo base in Youzhou, both of which are built on the territory of one side of the hero, and will be watched and suppressed by this side of the hero at all times.
And the Dazepo base, because of Liu Yi's absence, is usually quite low-key, and it can barely be said that it has a good relationship with the local government, and they have also joined forces to resist the invasion of foreign races. Moreover, that base only occupies a very small place, and there is no obvious purpose for outward development. Gongsun Chan has now included the area around the Dazepo base as his sphere of influence, and on the surface, the Dazepo base is already in Gongsun Chan's hands, and the base can be turned into his at any time. Therefore, Gongsun Zhan was not in a hurry to completely take the Dazepo base for himself, and he could tolerate the storage of the base for the time being.
However, Liu Yi estimated that once the crusade against Dong Zhuo was over, Gongsun Chan would definitely take action, because in the area of Yuyang and Zhiyicheng, Gongsun Chan should regard it as his own back garden, and would never allow any forces that did not belong to him to exist.
Similarly, Liu BiaoxiΓ n ruled Jingzhou, and the area around Dongting Lake was also equivalent to his back garden, and he didn't have any friendship with Liu Yi, how could he tolerate Liu Yi taking root here? He is bound to find a way to bring Dongting Lake and New Continent under his rule.
Now, it is not a question of worrying or not, but how to deal with Liu Biao's problem of dealing with Dongting Lake Xinzhou.
Liu Yixian thanked Guo Jia for the news, and asked him to sit down and said: "Okay, now our general situation, I believe everyone understands, let me add, what Zhang Jun said just now is only the population registered in Xinzhou New Town, as well as the situation of the sergeant in Xincheng." In fact, there are also 10,000 sergeants who came back from Luoyang Capital and have not been counted in it. There were 5,000 cavalrymen, 2,000 sergeants of the New Yulin Army, 1,000 sergeants of the trap battalion, and 2,000 or 3,000 officers and soldiers of the original Zhenhua Grain Bureau. Other than that. Wancheng is too guarded by Qin Jie, and he can be regarded as our own people, and he now estimates that there are 10,000 troops and horses, which are the troops we can use now. To summarize the things to be discussed today, first, is to send troops to fight against Dong Zhuo. It's a must. Second, it is how to protect our Xinzhou New City from being embezzled by Liu Biao after we send troops. What do you think? β
"Well, Xinzhou New City is our foundation, and there is absolutely no room for error, and now the shipyard, schools, etc., have just been put into use. There are also many workshops that are just getting into operation. In the event that Liu Biao wants to invade, even if we are willing to fall under his rule. He may not be able to keep the things of schools and shipyards, and suddenly he is ruled by a person who only knows how to make friends with the wealthy families of the noble clan, but does not care about ordinary people, and the more than 200,000 people who have only lived a good life here for a few days are afraid that they will be in trouble again. Therefore, this new city is still ruled by ourselves. Zhang Jun answered. This Xinzhou New City can also be said to be his brainchild, how could he agree to return the new city to the rule of Jingzhou Mansion?
"Liu Biao, how dare he? Don't forget, now the young emperor is here. Isn't it okay to classify this new city as a place directly under the jurisdiction of the young emperor? Lu Zhi said as a matter of course.
"......" Zhang Jun laughed and said, "Brother Lu, Lord Lu, when is it now?" Then Liu Biao will still look at the young emperor in his eyes? The news that the Guo Jia brothers said just now has been very clear to us, Liu Biao. He wants to deal with Liu Yi and bring Xinzhou Xincheng under his rule. Since he wants to deal with Liu Yi, it means that he agrees with the court controlled by Dong Zhuo, which means that Liu Biao is very likely to have something to do with Dong Zhuo...... Oh, by the way, Liu Biao seems to be one of the local assassins recommended by Dong Zhuo. Look at it, if Liu Biao didn't send troops to fight Dong Zhuo together, it would show that Liu Biao and Dong Zhuo were actually people all the way. β
"Liu Biao will never send troops to fight against Dong Zhuo together, because his goal is Xinzhou New Town, Dongting Lake, and the Yangtze River." Guo Jia said affirmatively.
Cai Yong also spoke: "It is precisely because of the presence of the young emperor that Liu Biao has an excuse to come to attack our Xinzhou New Town, Dong Zhuo's false holy decree has already been edicted to the world, it is Liu Yi who has kidnapped the young emperor and fled to Dongting Lake, Liu Biao also has a grandiose excuse to openly send troops to denounce Liu Yi for the young emperor." Look at it, it is estimated that Liu Biao is about to come to test our situation. β
"Temptation?" Xi Zhicai and others didn't understand why Cai Yong said this.
"yes, I almost forgot." Guo Jiadao: "Although Liu Biao has a heart to watch Xinzhou New Town, but he has deep scruples about the prestige of the lord, I estimate that even if he wants to use soldiers, he will come to a salute first and then soldiers, and take advantage of the righteousness, as Mr. Cai said, he will come in the name of asking the young emperor to escort him back to Beijing, and first explore the lord's mind." If the lord has no intention of occupying this Xinzhou New Town for a long time, he will not dare to persecute the lord too much, his concern is that he is afraid that the lord will stay in his Jingzhou land, and he is worried that the lord will replace him. This is also the meaning of the side of the couch that allows others to sleep soundly. β
"If the lord has a tough attitude and refuses to leave if he dies here, then this is also the time when Liu Biao really moves his troops?" Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up and said thoughtfully.
"Don't think about this to doubt Liu Biao, even if the lord makes such a gesture, but, under Liu Biao's account, there are now many capable people, how can we not see the situation of our Xinzhou New City now? Whoever runs one side like this, and suddenly says I don't want it, you can take it over, does anyone believe it? Jia Xu, who had been silent, said to Xi Zhicai with a smile.
"Well, IβI'm just thinking about it." Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu have been together for a while, and the two have already had a certain tacit understanding, and they don't need to say it explicitly, they can understand each other's thoughts.
"Hehe, in fact, if we don't send troops to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, then, everything will not happen, with our current strength, if we don't go to him Liu Biao for trouble, even if he burns high incense." Guo Jia may have participated in the meeting between Liu Yi and everyone for the first time, he seemed a little excited, and he also spoke actively, he said with a little evil smile: "I really want to know, if Liu Biao knows our current strength, and we don't have an army to crusade against Dong Zhuo, I don't know what Liu Biao's expression will be?" I'm afraid it's restless, right? β
"Haha, Fengxiao is a little wilted, to be honest, now we are fully capable of replacing Liu Biao, of course, we can't give Liu Biao the benefits of the conditions, and the scholars in the Jingxiang area are afraid that they will oppose us very fiercely. However, under a powerful fist. They will eventually succumb to the fact that the entire Jingzhou area will be treated as a big base, and a series of policies to develop people's livelihood will be implemented according to the model of the new city, and I believe it will not be long before they implement it. The whole of Jingzhou will be prosperous and revitalized. However, we must participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Liu Yi smiled at Guo Jiadao.
"Lord, Guo Jia has something unclear, why does the lord have to crusade against Dong Zhuo? Now that the heroes of the world have led their troops to Chenliu, no matter whether the crusade against Dong Zhuo is successful or defeated, it doesn't seem to be of much benefit to us. However, no matter Cao Cao or Yuan Shao and others control the government, they are not on the right path with the lord, and sooner or later they will be persecuted by the lord, so why should we go to this troubled water? If not. Dong Zhuo is still sitting in the imperial court, and his momentum is even greater, at that time. The world's heroes have been defeated, and there is no one in the world who can fight against Dong Zhuo, why don't we take this opportunity to occupy Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and use Jingzhou to resist Dong Zhuo, wouldn't it be better? β
Liu Yi had very vaguely said to Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others that they would occupy Luoyang City at the right time, but now they may have forgotten about it. Now, Liu Yi felt that it was time to explain to everyone why he wanted to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. I happened to hear Guo Jia ask. Liu Yi said a little inscrutablely: "How to deal with Liu Biao's matter, put it aside for the time being, and then discuss it later, now, I will tell you why we must participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo." What is the significance and purpose of our doing? β
"But what I am saying here today is known only to those of us here, and it is not to be passed on to anyone else." Liu Yi suddenly sank his face and glanced at everyone.
"Rest assured, my lord! We will never leak half a sentence. β
Whether it is Cai Yong, Xi Zhicai and other ministers, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other military generals, they rarely see Liu Yi so serious and powerful when discussing with everyone, they all sit upright, and their demeanor is serious and respectful.
"Everyone knows that I have seen Cao Cao and Yuan Shao many times, and for various reasons, they all hate to put me to death. Therefore, I will never be able to pee in a pot with them. Now, Cao Cao's edict against Dong Zhuo first occupied the righteousness, and for the sake of the righteousness, we also had to raise troops to respond. After all, Dong Zhuo is a traitor, everyone can be punished, we don't have soldiers, what do people in the world think? Don't forget, we were evacuated from Luoyang, but, in the eyes of the people of the world, we were driven out by Dong Zhuo, we escaped, now, Cao Cao has raised troops, and if we don't have troops, the people of the world will think that we are afraid of Dong Zhuo, or that we don't have the Han Sheji in our hearts, we don't have the heart to support the Han Sheji, and we don't even have the heart to respond to the thief. However, which of us here is not the heart of loyalty? Who doesn't want to support the Han family and revitalize the Han Dynasty? Therefore, this mobilization is necessary and has been reiterated again and again. β
"But...... With Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, everyone is afraid that they will have different intentions, and the lord and them are like fire and water, in case the two armies face each other, what should they do to us behind our backs? Min Gong, who had been silent, was also worried.
"Hehe, who said that we are going to join forces with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao?" Liu Yi's eyes froze, and he looked at Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and other strategists and said, "Didn't I tell you specifically just now?" Wancheng guards Qin Jie is our own people, from Wancheng to Luoyang, it is faster than Chen Liu's to Luoyang, and it is easier to attack Luoyang. From Chenliu to Luoyang, they have to go through several Xiongguan, and there is only one way to enter the pass, and they have to go through a series of hard battles to kill from Chenliu to Luoyang, among them, the Tiger Prison Pass is a turning point related to Dong Zhuo and the coalition who wins and who loses. If Dong Zhuo can hold the Tiger Pass, then the coalition army will not be able to attack for a long time, and the coalition army will naturally collapse, if the Tiger Pass is captured by the coalition army, then Dong Zhuo will be shocked, even if the army in his hand has not been injured to the root, but seeing the strength of the coalition army, Dong Zhuo will definitely not dare to fight with the coalition army again, at that time, everyone said, what will happen to Dong Zhuo? β
"As soon as the Tiger Prison Pass is broken by the coalition army, then the coalition army can directly attack the city of Luoyang and Kyoto, if Dong Zhuo does not dare to fight with the coalition army, then he can only withdraw and retreat to Xiliang?" Xi Zhicai muttered.
Jia Xu said: "What the lord means is that we will first garrison Wancheng, and then watch the movements of the coalition army, and wait for the coalition army and Dong Zhuo to separate the victory or defeat, and then we will send troops from Wancheng?" Well? Yes, we can openly respond to the coalition forces, saying that we will split into two ways with their troops and attack Dong Zhuo separately, but this is the timing of the attack. It depends on the situation of the coalition forces? β
"Yes, when we raise our troops, we can openly say that we will attack Luoyang in two ways with the coalition troops, but we can't attack first. Because, the area from Wancheng to Yiyang is all wilderness, and we can't take advantage of Dong Zhuo's cavalry, so it's not suitable to fight with it, so. We openly said to the public that the Tun army was in Wancheng. However, our real main force is not really staying in Wancheng. Liu Yi pretended to be mysterious.
"Oh? Lord, what plan do you have to defeat Dong Zhuo? "A few strategists really couldn't guess what Leo's plan was.
"Defeat Dong Zhuo? Why should we defeat him? The coalition army has more than ten candidates, and its strength is no less than Dong Zhuo, but it is not easy for the coalition army to really defeat Dong Zhuo, you think that with our less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, we have the ability to defeat Dong Zhuo's 200,000 army alone? Leo asked.
"So, what do you mean?"
"I mean, we'll take Luoyang straight and then drive all our forces into Luoyang. Defend the city! Liu Yi said with a look on his face.
"Take Luoyang directly? If we don't defeat Dong Zhuo, how can we get Luoyang Capital? This ......" Xi Zhicai lost his voice.
Liu Yi's somewhat contradictory words also made a strategist and military general scratch their heads.
It's a long story. The timing must also be very precise, and it also involves the question of Liu Yi's foresight of history. Therefore, Liu Yi thought about it carefully and thought of the wording before saying: "Let's put it this way, Cao Cao launched an edict and called on the world's heroes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now there should be more than ten princes responding, right?" It can be said that the momentum is huge, but think about it. Do you think they will succeed? β
"If these princes work together and work together, even if Dong Zhuo has the righteousness of Lu Bu, who is known as the god of war, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the heroes of the world." Cai Yong's face was gloomy.
"I'm afraid that these princes may not be united...... "Lu Zhi has had dealings with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, and knows that they are all people with different aspirations, so if they want to work together to support the Han family. I'm afraid it's really difficult, the most obvious thing is that if they were sincere, Yuan Kui would not have used his power for personal gain in the imperial court at the beginning.
"It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm sure, this coalition army was not united from the beginning, they almost all wanted to take this opportunity to make a name for themselves, I am sure that it is difficult to succeed if they want to rely on them to really defeat Dong Zhuo. In case they attack Dong Zhuo unfavorably, their military spirit will be dispersed, and this time the heroes will raise troops to fight Dong, and it may end up as a joke. Leo said affirmatively.
"What? The judgment of the lord, this time the coalition army will definitely defeat Dong? All the strategists said with surprise on their faces.
"Hehe, it's hard to say whether you win or lose, but it doesn't mean much to win or defeat the princes of those coalition forces, as long as they participate, their reputation will be revealed, and their goal will be achieved, I don't think they will try their best to beat Dong Zhuo to the end, these, let's all watch." Liu Yi knew that he couldn't say any more about this, and if he said it, he would become a prophet, so he said: "No matter what, Dong Zhuo will see the power of the coalition army, and he will see the heroes of the world unite to deal with him, and he is indeed difficult to resist, plus there is also our army eyeing Luoyang, you say, with Dong Zhuo's suspicious nature, what will he do?" Once the passes around Luoyang are lost, Luoyang will not be safe, and when the time comes, Dong Zhuo will dare to stay in Luoyang? He is not afraid that he will be hunted by us and the world's heroes in Luoyang? β
"Well, Dong Zhuo is brutal by nature, but he is extremely afraid of death, he now supports the authority of the imperial court, and one person is above ten thousand...... No, it's already his Dong Zhuo's court. I'm afraid that he is just thinking about happiness now, where will he really fight to the death with the world's heroes? Liu Yi asked himself and said: "I estimate that once Dong Zhuo feels the threat of the world's heroes to him, he may take the initiative to leave Luoyang and return to Xiliang." β
Liu Yi did not tell Dong Zhuo about the burning of Luoyang and the relocation of the capital to Chang'an in advance, so as not to make everyone wonder why Liu Yi knew in advance that Liu Yi could predict the future. Here is a little misleading people's thinking.
"Oh, I understand what the lord means, the lord means that we raised troops, nominally in response to Cao Cao's call, but we did not join forces with them, we clearly stationed troops in Wancheng and attacked from the south road, but in fact, we secretly hid our troops near Luoyang. Then he looked at the results of the battle between the world's heroes and Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo is defeated and flees from Luoyang, then we will immediately send troops to occupy Luoyang, if Dong Zhuo defeats the world's heroes and stabilizes Luoyang, then our soldiers and horses can secretly withdraw, and then we can fight against Dong Zhuo according to Wancheng and continue to crusade against Dong Zhuo's cause, but at that time, we will think that we are the main ones, and we don't have to worry about being restrained by others. Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and the others looked at each other and smiled, as if they had figured out Liu Yi's overall plan.
Liu Yike didn't think about what would happen after Dong Zhuo left Luoyang if he didn't move, because Liu Yi knew that Dong Zhuo would definitely leave, but since Xi Zhicai thought so, Liu Yi naturally wouldn't deny it.
"Good! The strategy that the lord thinks of is really a clever strategy, so that he not only has a reputation, but also preserves his strength, regardless of the victory or defeat of the coalition army, there will be no loss for us, in case the coalition army is defeated, the world coalition army is only left with the lord all the way to the army, when the lord raises his arms and shouts, who in the world does not respond? Guo Jia pondered for a while before he applauded, and after he finished speaking, he asked again: "But, my lord, if we occupy Luoyang, what will happen?" (To be continued......)
