Chapter 8: The Battle of Guangnian (II)
In Liyang, Wei County, Lu Bu put down the battle report in his hand and said with a smile: "The war has finally started, and if it continues like this, a certain halberd will be hungry and thirsty." ”
Liangle sat on the lower left of him, and when he heard this, he also smiled and said: "This Yuan and Han sides are also interesting, and the offensive and defensive positions have changed as soon as the war starts, but judging from the current battle situation, Han Fu's side is still a little not good......"
Xun You, who was sitting opposite Liangle, said lightly: "It's a bit too early to say so, it's only been three days since the battle began." ”
Wang Cheng next to him said with a smile: "Although it has only been three days, the casualties on both sides are similar during these days, even if it is compared in terms of numbers, the Yuan army can afford it, but Han Fu's side can't afford it, and it is only a matter of time before it goes on like this." Speaking of this, he glanced at Lu Bu and said curiously: "Hasn't the Taiwei decided when we should do it?" ”
Lu Budao: "The battle situation is changing rapidly, and now it seems that Han Fu is at a disadvantage, who knows what will happen after that?" Now we can only wait and see what happens, and wait until the right time to make a move, as for the right time, at least for the time being, it has not yet appeared. ”
Wang Cheng was a little worried: "Because the battle situation is changing rapidly, although Liyang is not far from Guangnian, it is not close, it will always take a certain amount of time for us to take action from the front line, maybe Han Fu has been destroyed during this time, and the news we received is still only endangered, and when the time comes, we will arrive, it just so happens that the Yuan army is also cleaning the battlefield, even if we want to move, it may not hurt the bones, but the Yuan army, which defeated the Han army in Guangnian, will be difficult to conquer in a short period of time. If there is any change on Cao Cao's side by then. We may be in the back of the enemy. ”
The enemy on the back of the abdomen naturally means that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are united, Wang Cheng said that this is not impossible, Lu Bu had a saying in his previous life, that there are only eternal interests, there are no eternal enemies, this is what the British minister Winston Churchill said, it cannot be said to be the truth but it is in line with most of the truths in this world.
is like between Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan, who initially united against Yuan Shao, the most powerful force in Hebei at that time, but then turned against each other because of entanglements of interests. Then Han Fu and Yuan Shao joined forces to encircle and suppress Gongsun Zhan. If it weren't for Lu Bu's intervention at that time, which disturbed the situation, he first besieged Yecheng and forced Yuan Shao to order Wen Chou to return to the division, which would have virtually solved the crisis of Gongsun Zhan. Then, on the way back, he defeated the Koji army that had come to pursue. and forced Koji Yi to rebel and switch to Han Fu. At this time, Han Fu, who was annoyed by the sudden withdrawal of Yuan's army, was overjoyed to accept the surrender of Koji Yi, and then naturally broke with Yuan Shao, and unconsciously approached his previous enemy, Gongsun Zhan. Once again, a new alliance was formed.
In the final analysis, this kind of division and merger is fundamentally for the sake of interests, and now if it is for the sake of interests, why can't the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who have not had too many disputes and contradictions?
Of course, even if they act now, it is impossible to hope that Cao Cao will not move, this is a matter that affects the whole body, and it has to be carefully considered.
Lu Bu nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Ziang's overall view is getting better and better, and now he can still see the problem so thoroughly, which is indeed a lot of growth." ”
Lu Bu himself is also a little complacent in his heart, after all, Wang Chengyou is the biggest promoter today, and this sense of accomplishment of almost cultivating a good general by himself will not be lower than digging out those historical cattle who are still down, or even higher.
However, he then shook his head and said, "But Ziang's view of the problem is still too one-sided, do you know that Cao Mengde's side will contain me and others, won't he be restrained by others?" ”
Wang Cheng has been with him for a long time, and his vision and knowledge are not low, he clicked a little like this, and he understood, and said: "What did Taiwei say about Yangzhou Yuan Shu?" ”
Lu Bu nodded and said with a smile: "So don't look at this battle situation is just us and the Quartet, but all parts of the world are affected by it." Just like Cao Mengde watched from the sidelines in Puyang before, in addition to this Yangzhou Yuan Shu, it was also because he felt that we couldn't last long, and the internal and external troubles on the side of Luoyang and Liangzhou broke out together, and they had to return if they didn't return in vain. But then Xiliang no longer had any worries, and Luo Yang also calmed down, he had nothing to hope for, but he was unwilling to return in vain, and he was also worried about our reality, so he simply continued to stay there and wait for the changes. ”
Wang Cheng nodded, Lu Bu let him think slowly, and then turned to Xun You and asked, "How long can Gongdaguan this Han Fu support?" ”
Xun You pondered for a while, and said leisurely: "It depends on whether he really wants to fight to the death with Yuan Shao in this Guangnian, or if he has other plans." ”
"Oh?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, "Gongda thinks, what more waves can this Han Fu set off?" ”
Xun You shook his head and said, "You just always feel that since this Han Fu has recognized Fu Gonghe as the mastermind, he has rarely made the mistake of making rash efforts. For example, in this battle of Guangnian, if Han Fu had fought a decisive battle with Yuan Jun from the beginning, instead of delaying it for no reason, he would not have doubted it; But it is precisely like this, Ling You has to wonder if there is any inside story in it. After all, if time drags on, the morale inspired by the destruction of the cauldron at that time will gradually wear out, and if it experiences another defeat, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and I am afraid that it will not even be able to cause some damage to the Yuan army, which obviously will not be Han Fu's purpose, nor is it like the negligence of Frustration Gonghe. ”
Lu Bu nodded lightly, suddenly stood up, and said with a smile: "We can't figure out Han Fu's thoughts, can he see through us again?" Ladies and gentlemen, if we suddenly raise an army at this time, what will be the result? ”
Wang Cheng just wanted to say, "Didn't the Taiwei just say that the time was not right", but he was robbed by Liangle and said: "The lord wants to catch them off guard, but he has to make good arrangements first." ”
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to see through the tent to see the sky outside, "That's nature, our preparations in Yangzhou can't be wasted; And Liaodong, what did Gongsun Du say? ”
Yuan Shao probably would never have thought that Lu Fengxian, whom he had always hated the most, would actually contact Gongsun Du, a name he was most tired of hearing now, a prince who had always been very low-key and had never been involved in the affairs of the Central Plains.
And if it is linked to the current signs that Gongsun Du seems to be attacking the remnants of Gongsun Chan in Youzhou, it seems that he will be able to sort out some clues.
Ling Xing, who was standing below, said expressionlessly: "Gongsun Du replied to Taiwei, he only needs the remnants of the white horse under Gongsun Zhan, in order to protect himself when the heroes are chaotic in the future, and he has no interest in the land of Youzhou." ”
Lu Bu laughed and said: "If he wants it, give it all to him, there are wolf riders in Bingzhou, and there are Xiliang iron horses, and there will be flying bear troops in the future. Reply to him immediately, as long as he can do what we ask, he can meet these conditions. ”
"Whoa."
"Good! Next, let's arrange it again, three days later, a certain Lu character banner will go straight into the New Year! ”
……
Three days later, Puyang City, Yanzhou.
Cao Cao's life seems to be much more leisurely and comfortable these days, in fact, in the past few years, he has been in various busyness every day, and the free time he can rest for himself is pitiful, if it were not for the fact that he is here to pay close attention to the situation in Hebei, especially the movements of Lu Bu more than 100 miles away, he will not stay here all the time.
He naturally knew that the battle of Guangnian had officially begun, and the battle between Yuan and Han had finally come to a result, after all, he didn't know it very clearly, and he had to keep an eye on the news of Jiangdong, so Cao Cao didn't pay much attention here, so he didn't think deeply about whether there were any secrets he didn't know.
However, what he can know now is that as long as Lu Bu does not move, he will not act first, and the deadlock in Yangzhou will not be broken for a while anyway.
But on this day, he suddenly saw Guo Jia running to him with a solemn face.
Guo Jia is uninhibited and does not follow any red tape, Cao Cao is also very tolerant of him, and never asks him to salute or anything when he meets him, so after just saying hello, Guo Jia said: "Lu Feng has taken action first!" ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, but he could still sit still, but he frowned and said: "Didn't you say that there was no change in its grain and grass two days ago, and the big camp was still there yesterday, and there was still cooking smoke for cooking?" ”
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said: "We have been tricked, Lu Fengxian's entire army has fled, and only one empty camp remains, as for the cooking smoke that rises from the cooking on time, it is just a disguise of some Lu army soldiers left, and they have all been captured." Originally, our spies only found some anomalies, the area around the camp was too quiet, and there seemed to be fewer soldiers of the Lu Bu Army patrolling back and forth on weekdays, and then Anzhong spied a few times, only to find that our scout Ping Su saw that there were only some straw men in the camp......"
Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up suddenly, and his face changed.
Guo Jia was still saying: "Later, according to our people, the soldiers of the Lu Army were interrogated, and they were quite tough at first, and then they were recruited if they couldn't hold up the torture. Originally, the Lu army had broken up into pieces and fled out of the barracks in batches in the past three days, but we thought that they had suddenly strengthened their patrols around the area in the past three days, so they taught the scouts to restrain a little, but we didn't expect that this would provide an opportunity for them to escape. The weather was bad these three days, and there was fog in the morning, noon, and evening, obscuring the vision, so that our scouts were not able to find anything abnormal at first, and they didn't know that most of the so-called soldiers of the Lu army they saw at this time had become straw men wearing soldiers' clothes. ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a long time, and suddenly asked again: "How is the situation of the war in Guangnian?" ”
Guo Jia glanced at him, Cao Cao's train of thought turned quickly, which also made him very satisfied, after all, not only the princes are recruiting, but also the virtuous are also choosing the Ming Lord, and Cao Cao is the Ming Lord that Guo Jia values. (To be continued......)
