Chapter 241: To Help or Not to Help?
In fact, Wang Chong already knew that Xu Shu had taken refuge with Liu Bei in advance, which was a major shift in history.
For example, in the past, Liu Bei was like a reckless man with developed limbs and a simple mind, with a strong force, but he didn't know how to use it, to deal with such a person, a smart person could have a hundred ways to handle him to death, but now with the addition of Xu Shu, this reckless man is like being installed with a flexible brain, becoming truly both civil and military, and the degree of difficulty has almost increased geometrically.
Of course, the current Wang Chong hasn't taken Liu Bei in his eyes, but Cao Cao let him fight as soon as he wants, so wouldn't he be very faceless? Fuck me, Jinfan is your Cao Cao's thug?
Maybe Cao Cao let Mao Jue come this time, and he must be ready to cede certain interests to Jinfan, but the interests that Cao Cao can cede may not be able to enter Wang Chong's eyes, so Wang Chong simply rejected Mao Jue's request: "I'm sorry, Cao Gong's difficulties will be known, but my Jinfan war will be closed, and the people will be determined, so I really don't have the strength to send troops!" ”
Mao Jue was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "General, Liu Bei only has thousands of rabble in his hands, and it doesn't take much effort for the general, even if he just lets General Zhang Xiu of Shouchun send troops to recruit, it must be enough to capture him!" ”
Wang Chong smiled: "But as far as this general knows, the rabble in Xiaoxian's mouth has successively defeated Cao Zilian and Man Boning of your army, is it possible that in the eyes of Xiaoxian, these two are not even as good as the rabble?" ”
"This ......" Mao Jue was speechless for a moment, but he quickly gave an explanation. The reason why Berning was defeated was only because he was caught off guard by the other party, and the troops led by General Zilian at that time. It's just a temporary family private soldier, and its combat power is no different from that of the people, so naturally it can't fight the Yellow Turban thieves who have been on the battlefield, and I believe that as long as they are given an elite division, they can easily flatten this thief army! ”
"It's better to say than to sing!" Wang Chong naturally wouldn't be moved by Mao Jue's words, so he stood up and said, "Ben Jiang is still the same sentence." I sweep my own garbage, and I, Jinfan, have no obligation to clean up the mess for you! ”
"General, slow!" When Mao Jue saw Wang Chong turn around and want to leave, he immediately sweated profusely. Stopped Wang Chong and said, "My lord has made a promise, as long as the general is willing to get rid of Liu Bei for us, the conditions can be opened with the general!" ”
"Oh?" Wang Chong stopped. Play with taste. "Is it really okay?"
Mao Jue was greatly embarrassed, and immediately added: "As long as it is within the tolerance range of our army!" ”
"Tsk!" Wang Chong smiled disdainfully, "It's the same as not saying it!" ”
"This ......"
"Okay, what Gong Cao means, Ben Jiang already knows, you go back to the post station to rest, Ben will need to discuss with his ministers, and wait for the result. I'll send someone to tell you the answer! Wang Chong waved his hand to interrupt Mao Jue and gave the order to expel the guest.
Mao Jue's complexion changed. But it was not good to continue to stay, so he had to give up: "In this way, Mao Jue should wait for the good news of the general!" ”
After Mao Jue left, Wang Chong found Ding Feng: "Go and invite Ziyang, Ziyu and Mr. Wenhe to come over!" ”
It didn't take long for Liu Ye, Zhuge Jin, and Jia Xu to come to the General's Mansion one after another.
Liu Ye smiled and asked, "The lord came to us this time, but because of the Cao army?" ”
Wang Chong nodded: "The purpose of Mao Jue's coming, even if Ben Jiang didn't say it, you should have guessed it, Ben Jiang just wanted to hear your opinion, this soldier, do we want to go out?" ”
Zhuge Jin frowned and said: "This Cao Cao is really bold, isn't he afraid of luring wolves into the room?" ”
Jia Xu smiled: "This is the tacit understanding between smart people, in a sense, the lord and the Duke Cao are the same kind of people, so they can penetrate some of each other's minds, I dare to say that if it is changed to other princes, the Duke of Cao will not dare to ask him to help, but only the lord, he is not worried!" ”
Zhuge Jin was puzzled: "Why is this? ”
Jia Xu said: "Because the vision of other princes is too low, they will only focus on immediate interests, but the lord thinks more about the long-term than them!" ”
......Seeing that Zhuge Jin still didn't seem to understand, Liu Ye on the side couldn't help but explain, "Ziyu might as well think about it carefully, Cao Jun is now on fire in the backyard, there is a strong enemy in front of him, and the situation is already in danger, in this case, if I Jinfan wants to be unfavorable to Cao Cao, after expelling Liu Bei and occupying Runan, I can even go straight to Huanglong to capture Xudu, so that Cao's army will undoubtedly be destroyed, and if we really do this, although on the surface, we have expanded our territory and taken Runan, Yingchuan and even the entire Yuzhou, but in fact, What we will face at that time is Yuan Shao's million-strong division, and with our current strength in Jinfan, we will definitely not be able to fight Yuan Shao, so from a long-term perspective, Cao Cao's existence will definitely outweigh the disadvantages for us! ”
"I see!" Hearing this, Zhuge Jin suddenly realized, looked at Wang Chong and said, "So the lord has already planned to send troops to remove the troubles for Cao Jun, so that they can fight against Yuan Shao wholeheartedly?" ”
"Not yet!" Wang Chong shook his head and said, "Cao Jun is not completely out of strength at present, now that the Jingzhou army is marching south to Jiaozhou, Cao Cao can at least mobilize thousands of soldiers and horses of Cao Ren in Nanyang, so even if the general does not send troops, the Cao army will not fall into a desperate situation, but what really makes the general care is actually Liu Bei!" ”
Jia Xu said: "Liu Bei's life is extremely hard, since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the princes of the world have gone seven or eight, but this person is still active in the world, this is a hidden dragon, if it is not removed as soon as possible, he will become a big disaster for our army in the future!" ”
Wang Chong asked: "Did Wenhe suggest that Ben General send troops?" ”
Jia Xu's eyes flashed with wisdom: "Yes!" ”
Wang Chong looked at Liu Ye and Zhuge Jin again, and saw that none of them spoke out against it, so he also understood their thoughts, and smiled and said: "Actually, there is no problem in sending troops, but we can't work for that treacherous fox in vain, right?" ”
Jia Xu smiled: "It seems that the lord already has a goal!" ”
Wang Chong said meaningfully: "How is Guangling County? ”
The eyes of the three lit up: "Very good! ”
Guangling County, located in the south of Xuzhou, east of the sea, south of the river, and Wu County across the river, has great strategic significance for Jinfan, but for the current Cao Jun, it seems a little chicken, at least they are far from the spare strength to covet Jiangdong, so Wang Chong is very sure that Cao Cao will agree to his request.
Wang Chong nodded, and said to Liu Ye with a smile: "In this way, please trouble Ziyang to go to the post station to talk to that Mao Xiaoxian, presumably this person has been waiting for a long time!" ”
Liu Ye also smiled and said, "No! (To be continued.) )
