Chapter 664 - Farewell
Halfway through September, the breath of early winter blows across both sides of the river, and the wide river is filled with boats.
The new covenant is very special to Lu Bu, except for the two major items of offensive and defensive alliance and marriage, there is only the verbal agreement between him and Wang Yu. He didn't care about the specific rules or anything, and let Qingzhou do it.
Wang Yu felt that this was Lu Bu's cleverness, without Chen Gong, Zhang Miao was on his side early, and no one under Lu Bu was good at bargaining, and the most inferior person on Qingzhou's side was a famous man like Kong Rong.
Anyway, Wang Yu is doing it, he is watching, if there is any dissatisfaction, he can be imprisoned at any time, he is not only an ally of Qingzhou, but also has the identity of an old father-in-law.
Although he saw this, Wang Yu didn't think about it, and he didn't make any less expressions, the ships coming from Jizhou were loaded with weapons and food.
The main force of the Qingzhou Army went north, and Dongjun became an important stronghold for defending the west and south directions, and as long as Dongjun was not lost, Qingzhou's adjusted defense line would not be in danger. If there is an accident in Dongjun, then the defense line of the Qingzhou Army will be too long and too fragile.
The previous arrangement was originally for the purpose of attacking the Central Plains, if the troops were not transferred to the north, as soon as the Qingzhou Army was launched, Yanzhou's forces would face a three-sided attack, and such a strategic situation was extremely powerful.
Historically, the reason why Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu was certainly a problem in terms of strategy, but it was not because the troops could not be fully developed, because at that time, Qingzhou and Taishan were controlled by Cao Cāo, and Yuan Shao could only concentrate his huge forces in two ferries, which led to the delay in reflecting the superiority of troops.
If Yuan Shao at that time had the current Qingzhou and could attack from two sides, or even three sides, then Ren Cao's wisdom was higher than the sky, and he didn't want to defend Yanzhou.
It was precisely because he saw the crisis that Cao Cāo slipped away and threw Dongjun to Lu Bu, he didn't want to stay in Dongjun and wait for Wang Yu to crush him.
But at this time, at that time, after the Qingzhou Army dispatched the main force to the north, for the forces occupying Yanzhou, the original iron tongs became a thin veil, and as long as they poked hard, they could poke a big hole.
Therefore, with the current situation, the most direct way is to strengthen Lu Bu and turn Dongjun into an impregnable fortress.
Of course, there are certain risks in doing this, and Wei Yan is not very in favor: "It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous, if it's not good, you will raise a tiger for trouble, Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo back then...... Uh-huh-hmm......"
Zhao Yun's hand was quick, he covered the big mouth of this goods, lowered his voice, and said hurriedly: "Wen Chang, don't talk nonsense, you are the main general, if this kind of thing is heard, it would have been fine, but you have stirred up a big incident." ”
"That's right."
Zhuge Liang nodded approvingly: "In the past, things were not easy to evaluate, but now, as long as the Puyang Army still has three points of sanity, he will not do this kind of thing where relatives are painful and enemies are happy." Give up Dongjun, which has been in business for more than a year, to take Gaotang? And then, because of the lack of troops, he could not expand the results of the battle, waiting to be retaliated by our army, and attacked him with the Central Plains heroes? Wenchang, you're really thinking too much this time. ”
"Hmmmm......" was criticized by Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan endured it, but Zhuge Liang said cool words, he couldn't bear it anyway, he struggled desperately, but he couldn't get out of Zhao Yun's control.
Since Zhao Yun's debut, he has a great reputation, although Wei Yan is a little later, but because of the aura of the Hidden Mist Army, it is not generally concerned, Zhuge Liang's reputation is much worse than the previous two, but he is also much younger. The three of them stood together, which was already quite eye-catching, and when they started fighting, they attracted many eyes.
"The generals under your command get along very well." Lu Bu didn't know what he remembered, and there was a strong taste of reminiscence in his tone.
"Young man, it's really not steady enough." Wang Yu replied decently, he was a little confused about Lu Bu's thoughts, and after making up his mind, Lu Bu became a little different from before, not to mention him, even Gao Shun felt that Lu Bu had become a little strange.
The meaning of this sentence is ...... Is it nice to be young?
"Words are always untrue." Lu Bu snorted and reprimanded: "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, if you didn't deliberately let it go, how could they be so casual?" To govern the army, we must be strict...... Alas. After a few words, it quickly turned into a sigh.
Wang Yu knew that the other party probably remembered the previous rebellion, so he was a little emotional. Speaking of which, people are really strange, old or not, not old, not in age, all in psychology. Lu Bu is actually not very old, but after he admitted that he was old in front of him, his mentality became more and more like an old man.
Wang Yu was a little worried, and he began to change the topic: "General Wenyuan is both civil and military, and his command and dispatch are also quite effective, and he is a rare good general. Although the son-in-law loves him, there are many good generals in Qingzhou, and he is not in urgent need of help, but the pressure on Puyang's side is probably greater, and his father-in-law can't have a right-hand man by his side. ”
"Do you really think so-and-so is old?" Lu Bu squinted at Wang Yu, and his tone was very unhappy: "Those who are qualified to invade Dongjun are none other than Cao Cāo and Yuan Shu, although the latter's family background is prominent, but his people are just rats' ears, how dare they come north to attack me?" As for Cao cāo...... Hmph, this guy actually dares to treat me as a chess piece, he doesn't come, if he dares to come, he just settles the account with him! ”
Wang Yu confirmed that Lu Bu's heart was indeed not big, and he had always been obsessed with the matter of being used by Cao Cāo, no wonder he and Chen Gong could talk so much.
In fact, if it weren't for the previous rebellion, after reaching an alliance with Qingzhou, Lü Bu would most likely attack Chen Liu and Liang to block Cao Cāo. But this rebellion has changed a lot of things, and even now, Wang Yu can't say which direction the chain reaction it triggered will eventually develop.
"Wei Xu's side, Uncle Yue has to be more cautious, with the first time, it won't be difficult to do it again."
As he had expected in advance, Wei Xu was indeed not dead. He pleaded guilty, saying that the trick of voluntarily giving up military power and official position worked, and Lu Bu personally whipped him and whipped him severely, but in the end he still spared his life, and did not exile him, but still remained in Puyang City.
Wang Yu felt that this was a big hidden danger, and proposed that he take Wei Xu back to Gaotang for resettlement, but Lu Bu always hesitated, and today it was already the moment of separation, Wang Yu couldn't suppress the worry in his heart after all, and made a suggestion again.
Lu Bu frowned, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "A person with no power and no courage, what can be a big problem?" You don't have to pay attention to this matter, I have my own measure! ”
Seeing his expression, Wang Yu knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh secretly and give up. Thinking that he repeatedly told Gao Shun and Cao Xìng, how could the two join forces, how could they be able to suppress Wei Xu, right?
He looked up and found that the generals were gathering together, and their expressions were a little reluctant.
After getting along for more than a month, Zhao Yun and Gao Shun fell in love, fought side by side, and formed a deep friendship. Wei Yan and Cao Xìng are also like-minded, and when the two cherish each other, they also show a bit of dependence and farewell.
Wang Yu smiled knowingly.
It is interesting for these people who have never crossed paths in history to get together and witness this process. And the friendship between the generals also laid an excellent foundation for the future merger.
Perhaps, it is indeed my own concern, right? Come to think of it, I've been too busy lately, and this is the problem of a big family business.
Just as his thoughts were flying, he suddenly heard Lu Bu ask: "I heard that the land under your jurisdiction is no longer enough, why do you still have the heart to relocate the population?" ”
"There is strength in numbers, and it is not a bad thing. What's more, Qingzhou is only short of arable land now, which of those workshop owners doesn't shout about the shortage of people every day? And the capacity of the workshop to absorb more population than the cultivated land, with this population, why is it difficult to wait until next year to triple the output of the workshop? ”
Wang Yu gushed endlessly, although his little insight is nothing in the future life, but in today's world, when it comes to the relationship between agriculture and industry, the advantages and disadvantages, no one will be more good than him.
In the traditional view of governance, a large number of people is a good thing, but there must be a limit, and if the boundary is exceeded, it will become a huge risk. Therefore, in all dynasties and dynasties, officials from top to bottom of the court and the central government will become trembling when they hear the word "homeless", as if they are facing a great enemy. In later generations, there were more national decrees to control the population.
However, as far as Wang Yu knows, as long as the ability of the ruler is above the standard, the more populous the population, the more developed the economy under his jurisdiction will become. In the case of Qingzhou, even if the population under his jurisdiction increases tenfold in ten years, he is confident that he will be able to afford it, not only can he afford it, but he will also be able to create more wealth.
It's just that these things are too profound for Lu Bu, what kind of social division of labor specialization, industrial construction intensification, infrastructure diversification and the like, it sounds like a book from heaven, he knows what every word means, but when put together, he can only stare dryly.
Before he felt a headache, Lu Bu hurriedly waved his hand vigorously and interrupted Wang Yu's tirade: "Okay, okay, I know that you have a way of governing the government, so don't offer treasures here." As he spoke, he looked up at Tian Sè and said, "It's almost time to hit the road...... You just go and kill Hu, I'm here, don't worry about it. ”
"......" Wang Yu was silent for a moment, and then replied in a loud voice: "Yes!" ”
The preparations for the return journey were all ready, and Wang Yu gave an order, and the army moved slowly, lined up in a neat queue, and marched slowly and rapidly to the east along the river bank.
There may be reluctance among the generals, but they are all bold people with each other, and no one is a child, only Lu Qiling, who is usually in a hurry and is more like a man than a man, shows a rare side. The girl first hugged her mother and cried, and Lu Bu also pulled her hands.
This situation reminded Wang Yu of the young students who left home to go to school in later generations, speaking of which, the girl's age is in the next generation, that is, a high school student, right?
This kind of thing could not be persuaded, Wang Yu had to wait, until the long line was about to disappear from view, and then the girl wiped away her tears and chased after her.
Looking at the figure of the girl chasing after him, Wang Yu was taken aback, not for anything else, but for the charcoal-like divine horse that the girl was riding!
Such a divine red horse, the only one in the world, turned out to be ...... Red Rabbit? (To be continued.) )
