On a midsummer night, cicadas chirp and frogs chirp, and in the peaceful scene, an unusual murderous intent was revealed, as if the weather was as clear and cloudy as it was at the moment.

The presence of clouds makes the moonlight dim and intermittent, and the scenery reflected is also hazy, making it difficult to get a glimpse of it. However, under Zhao Yun's sharp gaze, within a hundred steps, even the slightest wind and grass was touched, and there was nothing to hide.

Looking at the confidant and favorite general who wrote vigilance on his face, Wang Yu smiled and said with relief: "Zilong, don't be so nervous, Liu Bei won't be so stupid, come to ambush before our army crosses the river." This place is too close to the local tyrant coalition, and it is not far from Liangcheng, and the possibility of Liu Bei leaving us here is too low, and it is infinitely close to zero. ”

"Are you really sure that Liu Bei will come?" Wang Yu's relief didn't play a big role, with Zhao Yun's courage, he wouldn't feel nervous because of this small scene, he just had doubts in his heart, and his expression was somewhat similar to nervousness.

"Why, you still don't believe it?" Wang Yu raised his eyebrows lightly and asked with a smile.

"If the last general changes places with him, he will only defend the city with all his strength and wait for the opportunity, instead of betting his hope on ambushing the lord in a desperate way." Zhao Yun is a little shy in his temperament, but after getting along for a long time, he also knows that Wang Yu doesn't like those cumbersome festivals, coupled with the influence of Tai Shici, he usually gets along a lot more casually.

"Liu Bei currently has only two advantages, one is that he has enough money and food, the city is high and deep, and his subordinates are related, Zhang, Chen Zhi and other fierce generals, even if the prime minister is broken and besieged by the regiments, he can hold out for at least half a year; On the other hand, the news that Zijing came back should be true, and Youzhou is indeed very likely to change. At that time, it is impossible for the lord not to return to Hebei to preside over the overall situation......"

Zhao Yun frowned and said: "And the lord rode south, allied with Yuan Shu, mediated the war in Wancheng, and married two new ladies...... The possibility of this kind of thing is too low, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a trap, will Liu Bei really break into it regardless of it? The last general thought it was hard to believe. ”

"If it was you Zilong who presided over the overall situation in Xiapi City, I would naturally not have such a plan, but. Liu Bei is different. Wang Yu smiled, and smiled meaningfully.

Zhao Yun in history always seems to be fighting the kind of battle where the weak fight the strong and the death is born, but who knows. This immortal general is a very stable person?

Of course, it is not Zhao Yun's intention to always put death on the ground and come back to life, but the boss he and he likes to take risks too much, so that Zhao Yun, as a general of the guards, is always fighting fires.

When Zhao Yun led the troops to fight alone, he was actually very stable, such as the battle he fought in Guiyang. He didn't leave his opponent a chance from beginning to end, not even a beauty trick. If Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu fought for the first time, the guards next to him would be the cautious and meticulous Zhao Yun, not the vain Dian Wei. Even if that battle had been lost, it would not have been so badly defeated.

It is precisely because of his increasingly profound and accurate understanding of Zhao Yun that Wang Yu's assessment of Liu Bei has become more and more accurate.

In this era, Shan said that he likes to take risks and surprise soldiers. If Uncle Liu Huang is the second, I'm afraid no one dares to call him the first. There is no danger in this world that Liu Bei does not dare to make.

"Liu Bei has become a habit to be surprising, of course, this is also related to the fact that he always uses small and big to win, defeating the strong with the weak, and it is not enough to win if it is not surprising." Wang Yu sighed a little emotionally, Liu Bei is like this, why is he not like this?

Thinking of the hardships and dangers since the crossing, Wang Yu had to sigh his good luck. No matter how carefully planned it is, the final result depends on God's will. In a sense, he is the most considerate person of Liu Bei in this era, even if he knows that it is a trap, in order to win, he can only break into it with a ruthless heart!

Now, he has completely gotten rid of the status of the weak, and his tactics have gradually changed to the majestic positive attack method, but Liu Bei does not have this condition.

"Actually, it was a big mistake for him to find Xu You to be a military advisor, the most suitable military advisor for him should be a stable person who is good at picking up and filling in the gaps, and has no last resort...... In fact, the most suitable partner for him is Kong Ming, but unfortunately I took the lead, and he can only continue his adventurous career, hehe. ”

Wang Yu's laughter was not without pride, which made Zhao Yun a little incomprehensible, with the current strength of the Qingzhou Army, no matter how you look at it, there is no need to put a character like Liu Bei in his eyes, where does the lord's pride come from?

However, thinking of the information about Sun Qian, Zhao Yun's doubts about whether Liu Bei would be tricked have been alleviated a lot.

After going south, the series of battles fought in Xuzhou were far less intense than the major battles that Zhao Yun had experienced before, but these battles also had their own unique characteristics - these battles were fought in a near-transparent situation.

Both sides have a large number of spies and meticulous works in the other camp, and except for the secret discussions at the top, almost all military operations are open and transparent, and even the movement of the army will be discovered by the enemy in a very short time.

Sun Gan's visit and departure of Liu Bei will also be no exception.

In Wang Yu's words, he knew that before Sun Gan left, the success rate of the plan was still between two or two, and the chance of winning was at most fifty percent; After Sun Qian left, the success rate suddenly rose to more than ninety percent.

Sun Qian is also well-known in Xuzhou, although he was not in Wang Yu's field of vision before, after discovering him, it couldn't be easier to do some targeted investigations. This is a steady person, but he failed to reach a consensus with Liu Bei, which can indeed verify Wang Yu's judgment to a certain extent.

"Lord, if Liu Bei doesn't come, or after defeating him, do you really want to continue to go south?" Zhao Yun didn't dwell on this topic much, there were many things that made him feel uneasy.

Wang Yu replied calmly, with a very serious expression: "Of course, at least the relationship must be confirmed, so that Yuan Shu can take the Qiao family as a hostage, the two armies will form an alliance again, the crisis in Xuzhou will be eliminated, and the people of Lujiang will be exempted from the suffering of war, isn't it great?" ”

"But ......" Wang Yu's explanation could not make Zhao Yun relieved.

"Nothing." Wang Yu suddenly smiled, and his expression became solemn.

"Time is very tight, only by solving Liu Bei and appeasing Yuan Shu can we dispel Lu Bu's last bit of luck, reconsider the alliance, and stabilize the rear of our army. Zilong, you have some understanding of the situation in Youzhou, but what about the grassland? Do you know what it's like there? Can you imagine what it would be like for the various tribes of the steppe to be organized and march south? ”

Zhao Yun felt a chill in his heart, and the words were in his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

He experienced that kind of catastrophe, in the fifth year of Zhongping, Xianbei and Wuhuan joined forces and swept the entire Hebei, which was a very terrible thing. What's even more terrifying is that according to Wang Yu's relays of Tao Qian's statement, the disaster in the fifth year of Zhongping only participated in some of the Xianbei tribes in the east, and it was far from the real strength of the Xianbei people.

Thinking of the arrogance of the six years of Xiping, Tanshi Huai annihilated the elite of 30,000 Han troops and rejected the Han court's peace with relatives, Wang Yu's prudence does have its reason.

"People like Liu Yu have not achieved enough things, and they have more than enough failures. The reason why the Xianbei people did not regain their previous strength after six years of Xiping was only because Tanshi Huai died. Over the years, the Xianbei people have been in civil strife, and like the Central Plains heroes, their own people are fighting for power, so they can't afford to go south in a big way, and they will not be martyred. ”

Wang Yu said with deep feeling: "But Liu Yu's tenderness and wooing will make the Xianbei people see the weakness of the Central Plains, and they will temporarily put aside the contradictions between each other and work together to take the Central Plains." This is the inevitable evil result of the Huairou policy, the more people like Liu Yu are respected and respected by other races, the more serious the disaster will be! This has been proven by thousands of years of history. ”

"......" For the first time, Zhao Yun felt completely unable to keep up with Wang Yu's train of thought, and he also didn't know what Wang Yu's historical allusions were referring to. It's not that he is lonely and unheard, it's just that he thinks that Wang Yu's thoughts have crossed the two thousand years and think of those major tragedies in history.

Because of the goodwill of the Central Plains Dynasty, the civil strife of different races was eliminated, and the most typical example was the end of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Nurhachi had just died, and his sons all had a certain strength, and they did not give in to each other, which was a good opportunity for the Ming court to divide and disintegrate, and each of them was a good opportunity to break through, but the ministers ran to mourn and show favor like idiots, so that the Tartars could distinguish the primary and secondary contradictions, and missed a good opportunity to eliminate them.

Instead of time-consuming and laborious conquests against each other, how can you take the weak and rich Central Plains people? The wisdom of the alien race is low, and the thinking is simple and direct, however, this simplicity and directness are better than the scholars and doctors of the Central Plains who have studied the art of scheming for thousands of years-this seemingly wonderful knowledge is only good at dealing with their own people.

"Anyway, it's time to hurry." Wang Yu's gaze turned away from Zhao Yun and cast it into the unpredictable night.

With the advance of Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu's refusal to give an inch, the situation in Youzhou became more and more tense, coupled with Xu You's provocation and tandem...... It is impossible to overestimate the scale of this chaos that could befall at any time.

Gongsun Zhan is not a person who can listen to persuasion, and the grudge with Liu Yu is even deeper, even if he withdraws back to Hebei now and stops it in person, it is also in vain.

Therefore, we can only plan for the worst and devote the main resources of Qingzhou to facing the most vicious enemies.

Wang Yu is still confident.

After all, the current Central Plains is not the Central Plains in history that has experienced nearly a hundred years of bloody civil war, even if the enemies on the grassland appear together, he is sure to win the battle.

It's just that he can't put all his strength into it, otherwise, if someone stabs him in the back, it won't be as simple as the defeat of the Qingzhou army, and maybe the story of Wuhu Chaohua will be staged in advance.

Therefore, it is necessary to stabilize Jianghuai and Yanzhou as soon as possible, and in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to say that it is necessary to make another risky move.
