Chapter Fifty-Four: Seeking Something Expensive and Far-reaching
Although Gongsun Chan laughed at it, Yuan Shu didn't pay attention to it, Tao Qian's turn around was also very reasonable, and there was no mystery in Wang Yu's behavior. But Liu Bei believes that there must be some truth in this.
The reason is very simple, Wang Yu's behavior is not natural enough.
Yuan Shu has no one in his eyes, Gongsun Zhan is bold, and these two people are not very scheming; Tao Qian has been experienced for a long time, but in general, he is also a person who is consistent on the outside and on the inside, and they don't spend too much time thinking about whether a person is the same on the outside and on the inside.
Wang Yu's age and his deeds are very protective, so he successfully concealed those people, but he couldn't hide Liu Bei.
From the first time he saw Wang Yu, Liu Bei knew that Wang Yu was the same kind of person as him.
Loyalty is what people hear, straightforwardness is what people see, and people with big ambitions have a common characteristic, that is, no matter what they do, they are pushing things in the direction of their own benefit, at least subjectively.
Liu Bei's specific thoughts are beyond Liu Bei's estimates, but since the assassination of Dong, everything Wang Yu has done has gained fame and fortune.
Needless to say, after seeing Wang Yu's majesty in picking Huaxiong with a spear and fighting among the ten thousand armies, Liu Bei confirmed Wang Yu's martial arts to the two righteous brothers again.
This time, Guan and Zhang's evaluations were a cut above those before the Battle of Tiger Prison.
Guan Yu's statement is: His proposal before the war was from his own point of view, he was just a nobody, Hua Xiong would be somewhat underestimated, and the feasibility of a surprise attack by horse speed was very high. And Wang Yu has long been famous in Lizhou, and Hua Xiong is also a veteran on the battlefield, even if he is angry, he will not really underestimate the enemy.
When he was about to fight, Guan Yu saw very clearly that Hua Xiong's knife against the enemy was not waved casually, and when Wang Yu's horse rose rapidly, Hua Xiong also discovered the danger at the first time and took contingency measures. It's just that Wang Yu's spear was too fast, and he couldn't prevent it.
Zhang Fei's statement is more straightforward, he said: "The martial arts of the Pengju brothers are the type that gets stronger when they are stronger, even if they are themselves, if they are not fully engrossed, as long as they are slightly negligent, I am afraid it will be worse." ”
In short, Liu Bei is very sure that as long as Wang Yu wants to kill Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo is already a dry bone in the grave, and the only reason why Dong Zhuo is still alive is that Wang Yu has no killing intent!
If Dong Zhuo is dead, where is the series of victories behind him? Where is his turn to become famous all over the world? Let him be so sought after and valued?
The more he thought about it, the more Liu Bei felt that Wang Yu was unfathomable, this young man seemed to act impulsively and recklessly, but in fact, his plans were linked one by one, and he had never made a mistake or suffered a loss.
The act of asking for war seemed to offend Gongsun Zhan, but he hid a wonderful chess piece to deliver food; It doesn't seem cost-effective to send food, but it doesn't hurt at all to get a BMW first, and then reap the friendship of Gongsun Zhan.
When the fight in the Tiger Prison began, Liu Bei suddenly realized.
Wang Yu left all his most elite men and horses with his father, and after meeting with the county soldiers who were transporting grain, he sent four or five hundred elites back. This move seems to be out of filial piety, but in fact it is to preserve his strength, he has long made up his mind to use the power of Gongsun Chan to achieve his own name!
If he didn't have that batch of grain and grass, Gongsun Chan would help him like this? It's good not to fight for merit, not to borrow a knife to kill people!
Only one person did it, but it turned out to be the first result of this great victory, this deal, it is simply too cost-effective!
What's even more amazing is that he even got the capital back, although the grain and grass in Aocang are a little less, but there are almost 200,000 Hu. These county soldiers under Wang Yu also have to eat, he didn't lose anything at all, it was all net gain!
This is not the end, there are even more absolute, Wang Yu dispatched the elite back to sour dates, and it is not a senseless move. He had long expected the reaction of Yuan Shao and others, so he deliberately sent the elite to protect it, and as soon as the war was over, he sent a messenger back to let Wang Kuang come to converge.
Foolproof!
If it weren't for the whole process, Liu Bei wouldn't have believed it, these things were the handiwork of a weak-crowned young man. Compared with this overall strategy, those amazing tactics such as suspicious soldiers, beheading generals, and chaotic formations are not worth mentioning.
Liu Bei is also a person with great ambitions, and he has been working unswervingly.
In the beginning, he had a good amount of resources at hand. Wu has two righteous brothers, Zhi has himself, coupled with his personality charm, and the bonus of clan identity, he has hundreds of elite soldiers in the first year of Zhongping, and he should have done a lot.
In fact, he did make a lot of achievements, but these achievements did not translate into tangible benefits.
Reputation, in Jizhou, Liu Xuande's name is a little influential, lucky, and when he wins a celebrity, people will say: long admiration.
In official positions, Liu Bei has been a lot of officials, but the highest position is just a county order.
Strength, just kidding, a small county town, can afford to raise two righteous brothers and himself, it is already blessed by God, what to talk about raising soldiers, he is now a bare general.
Over the years, he has never figured out that the more people mix, the better, such as Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, why are they getting worse and worse?
After seeing Wang Yu and observing the other party's actions, he understood that the gap was in himself.
On the surface, Wang Yu's success lies in his bravery, but Liu Bei knows that it is an illusion. The secret of Wang Yu's success is that he is very good at taking advantage of the situation, and every time he borrows the situation, he can succeed and then go to the next level.
In addition to the fact that Heyin's assassination seems to be accidental, Meng Jin defeated Niu Fu, borrowed the knife to kill Han Hao, and borrowed the power of Gongsun Zan to attack the tiger prison, Wang Yu used his own bravery as a guise to break the enemy.
It's easy to say, it's hard to do, borrowing momentum, borrowing once is luck, borrowing twice is vision, borrowing five times, every time you can succeed, this is great wisdom!
Liu Bei is so bad because he always can't borrow the momentum, or borrows the wrong momentum.
When he first debuted, he defected to his mentor Lu Zhi, and he made a lot of contributions, but before the credit was fulfilled, Lu Zhi fell. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the credit is naturally in vain, and everything can only start all over again.
Later, the general He Jin ascended to the throne and had a dispute with the Ten Permanent Servants, Liu Bei once again seized the opportunity and took the line of Qiu Yi, the government of Pengbi who went out of Beijing to recruit troops, and went to Danyang together, and made a lot of contributions.
As a result, as soon as Biqiu Yi returned to Luoyang, the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants broke out, He Jin and Biqiu Yi died in the chaos one after another, and Liu Bei's credit was lost again, only in exchange for an official position in Gaotang County.
Later, Liu Bei made a choice between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu, he felt that his relationship with Gongsun Chan was closer, and as a result, Liu Yu had the upper hand in Youzhou and pressed Gongsun Chan to gain a foothold.
It's not better than not knowing, but you'll know the gap when you compare. Looking at Wang Yu, and then looking at himself, Liu Bei felt that he had lived in vain in the past few decades.
Chao Wudao, Xi can die, recognizing the problem, it is better than blindly groping, Liu Bei is not discouraged. The troubled times are in full view, and the days ahead are still long.
However, he paid more attention to Wang Yu than before.
Liu Bei didn't believe that at such a critical juncture, Wang Yu would leave all military affairs behind and go to the military camp of the Youzhou Army, just to learn the art of riding and archery!
With the relationship between Wang Yu and Gongsun Zhan, when will you not be able to learn to ride and shoot? We have to rush at this juncture! Moreover, Gongsun Chan is very generous, as long as Wang Yu speaks, not to mention a few senior instructors, even if he borrows one or two thousand cavalry, it is not a difficult matter, how can he not learn it when the time comes?
Therefore, there must be a saying in this, Wang Yu must have a plan!
If you can see through Wang Yu's plan and snatch the benefits, then it would be the best; Even if you can't, you should try your best to expose him so that he can't achieve his goal; Even if it is not good, we must also learn something from it, which is the correct view of things.
It's a pity that after observing for so long, Liu Bei didn't come up with a reason, and everything that cut off the beard, hindered or anything came to naught. He hinted to Gongsun Zhan that Wang Yu was trying to win over the army, but the latter just didn't care, and he had nothing to do, and now he could only hope that after the matter came to light, he could learn from it.
However, the gap is the gap, he has been observing it openly and secretly for a long time, but he can't see what the meaning of Wang Yu's behavior is, and this time is no exception.
"Is there any secret to achieving the realm of unity of man and horse as quickly as possible?"
"The secret? Equestrianism, like martial arts, is not allowed to be tricked, but if General Pengju doesn't dislike it, I have a stupid method......"
"Oh?"
"The solution is very simple, that's what I did when I was young, but you're a nobleman, general......"
Wang Yu slapped the scabbard on his waist, made a loud 'bang', and said: "What is expensive or not, a man is born in troubled times, and he wants to settle down, except for getting off the horse in his crotch and the gun in his hand, what else can he rely on?" Everyone is willing to teach each other, but you don't treat Wang Yu as an outsider, if you say that a noble person is not a nobleman, Lao Wu, do you believe it or not, I will turn around and leave? ”
"Well said! That's the reason, General Pengju is really a happy person, a good man! ”
"Old Wu, don't hide your thoughts, say it quickly, I also have a secret to tell General Pengju!"
Bai Ma Yi has always been a bold military man, Wang Yu's attitude is right to their appetite, the two sides have long been together, what Liu Bei saw and heard in front of him is just a microcosm of many conversations.
However, he couldn't learn this trick, and he could only watch Wang Yu play and win the support of the cavalry.
"Horses are spiritual, and if you want to be one, you must first dispel the horse's vigilance and let it treat you as a companion. Serve the war horse with your own hands, get along with it day and night, no matter how good the effect is, you have to sleep with the horse! ”
"Haha, Lao Wu, you are really, this trick is also a secret? Who doesn't know, how many of us in the army didn't do this? ”
"Whoever said it, if I don't say it, General Pengju won't know, I don't believe you ask him."
"Well, what Lao Wu said, I really don't know, I'll try it when I go back to the camp today, thank you Brother Wu." Wang Yu's purpose is, of course, to find Zhao Yun.
Digging the corner of the wall, of course, can't be done too straightforwardly, if you show the carriage and horses and say to Gongsun Zhan: I am interested in your subordinate person named Zhao Yun, please ask Brother Bo Qi to help find it, and then give it to me.
No matter how bold Gongsun Chan is, he will turn his face. Even if you don't turn your face, most of them will be very interested in this person named Zhao Yun. After all, Wang Yu's reputation is outside, and his every move will attract attention.
The general trend of history may be difficult to change, but Wang Yu knows that he is facing living people, not cold words or data. Whatever you do by yourself may have an impact on the people around you, so it's not okay to be careless.
By asking for equestrian martial arts in the military camp as a cover, first getting acquainted with the white horse followers, and then secretly searching for them is the king. These tips and tricks in riding were all unexpected joys, and Wang Yu didn't expect them in advance.
He thought that Gongsun Chan had taught him a very comprehensive lesson, but in fact, there were some skills that Gongsun Chan would not say even if he knew. For example, Gongsun Zhan should know the trick of sleeping with a horse, but he must respect his identity, and ordinary soldiers don't have so many scruples.
"General Pengju, I also have something to say, didn't you ask about the spear master last time? I know. After getting acquainted, the words of the soldiers are all known, and the way they speak is not very particular, but it contains a lot of information, which is exactly what Wang Yu wants, and what he said inadvertently is a clue.
"There are four masters in Hejian County, three of them are guns, Zhang Junyi, who served under Han Jizhou's account, and Yuan Bohai's Xiaojun Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and ......"
Wang Yu patiently listened to the man's talk and said that there were many famous masters, but there was no one he wanted. In fact, in this era, most of the people who became famous had an official position earlier, or had an official position, and then became famous.
Wang Yu himself is the best example, now his reputation is probably even greater than Lu Bu, but when it comes to a real fight, the two Wang Yu may not be able to beat Lu Bu, but who makes him have more deeds than Lu Bu?
Theoretically speaking, he is now stronger than Lu Bu, and neither of them has a place to reason.
"Lao Zhao, you said so much, why are you from Jizhou? Our Youzhou army is so strong, there are few masters with guns? Wang Yu used the skills of the radical general.
"This ......" said that the cavalry smashed his mouth, and sighed regretfully: "There really isn't." ”
As soon as he said a word, he immediately felt the angry eyes of his comrades, and Bai Ma's righteous spirit was very high, how could he show weakness like this? Lao Zhao hurriedly changed his tone and remedied: "Our Youzhou army either has no masters, or masters don't use guns, and when the cavalry rushes into battle, horse lances and spears are better than spears!" ”
"Yes, General Pengju, when you rushed to kill in the chaotic army, didn't you also feel that the spear was not easy to use, so you rounded the spear and smashed people, in my opinion, the general's martial arts are more suitable for using a lance than a gun." Everyone chimed in.
"Uh-huh?" Everyone was gossiping, which made Wang Yu a little stunned, he didn't know anything about cold weapons, how did he know that there was a difference between guns, spears, and lances? Wasn't this thing more used in the Sui and Tang dynasties?
The cavalry saw that he didn't understand, and they were even more energetic, if you say anything to me, you have to thoroughly popularize the relevant knowledge for Wang Yu.
Liu Bei saw that it was not a problem, so he hurriedly went up to call someone.
Observing Wang Yu is his personal problem, and running errands is his job. The military situation is urgent, and there will be big problems because of private abolition.
As soon as he raised his legs, someone took the first step, squeezed into the crowd, and whispered beside Wang Yu.
After saying a few words, Wang Yu's eyebrows were furrowed, although he didn't speak, but only a fierce momentum emanated, not angry and arrogant.
All the cavalrymen were stunned, and after a long time of wandering together, they almost forgot that this young general was not an ordinary character, but a real legendary figure. I don't know who provoked him, but that man must be unlucky.
"Xuande Gong is also here, I happened to go with Ben Jiang to see Brother Bo Jue, Ben will have something important to discuss with him."
