Chapter 609 The dragon and the phoenix offer their plans
"Why is he? Then Qiao Lao'er is talking nonsense, right? ”
Qiao Yu looks young, but he is actually nearly fifty years old, otherwise the world would not respect his family background and call him Qiao. However, Wei Yan exclaimed in surprise at this time, completely out of disbelief about the news brought by Qiao Yu.
Wang Yu can be called the emperor, that is because he has this strength, he effectively controls the entire Qingzhou, as well as the five richest counties in Jizhou, as well as several counties occupied from Yanzhou and Xuzhou. After taking control of the East China Sea, the population under Qingzhou's rule has exceeded one million households, which is more than four million!
Even Yuan Shao, who was based in Hebei in history, was nothing more than this in his heyday.
The Hebei War in history spread very widely and lasted for a long time, and the damage caused to the local area was extremely serious. Especially serious is Qingzhou, when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought in Qingzhou, hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou yellow scarves had already gone to Yanzhou, and they fought frequently here, and Qingzhou, which was finally grabbed by Yuan Shao, was already a messy empty shell.
Therefore, with Wang Yu's strength, even if he is called the emperor, it is not surprising. Even if the princes were thus given an excuse to besiege, there was nothing to care about.
50,000 strong soldiers, 100,000 people is not a joke, when Wang Yu built a sphere of influence, the most important thing was to maintain strategic superiority.
Yu Ban and Xu Shu of Wei County relied on the danger of the Yellow River, even if Cao Cāo and Zhang Yang joined forces to attack, they could resist for a while; Although Lu Bu's Bingzhou army was strong, in front of Xu Huang's 20,000 strong army, it was impossible to go against the sky; As for these people in Xuzhou, even if Wang Yu is gone, Zhang Jaw is also a famous general for a while, and it may be difficult to capture Xuzhou, but it is more than enough to defend the East China Sea.
Speaking of which, the biggest threat to Qingzhou is the two allies in the north, and if Zhang Yan and Gongsun Chan join forces, it is indeed very dangerous. The Qingzhou army has very few troops stationed on the northern border, and once there is jǐng, it can only rely on the wind and fire cavalry to help, and among the heroes today, the cavalry scale and combat power can be compared with Qingzhou, but there are only two or three, and Gongsun Chan is one of the best.
But this possibility is too low, Zhang Yan is not a very ambitious person, because of the environment, he is not very loyal to the Han family; Gongsun Chan has a straightforward temper, even if he turns his face, he must come to Wang Yu to theorize first, and then make an appointment to fight, instead of a silent sneak attack.
With such favorable conditions, Wang Yu still had some scruples - in Wei Yan's mind, his lord was worried about something, otherwise everything would not be laid out, but he would not have taken that last step for a long time.
What kind of goods is Yuan Shu, and he dares to do such a big thing?
Yuan Shu's territory, there is only one complete Jiujiang County, Lujiang has not yet been pacified, less than half of Runan he can control, although there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, but most of them are surrendered and rebelled, and there is no guarantee at all in terms of combat power.
Although the power of the Yuan family is huge, after the two brothers split up and confronted each other, the overall power has weakened a lot. Yuan Shao was destroyed by Wang Yu, and the remnants of this branch were either absorbed by other princes, or took refuge in Yuan Tan and Gao Gan, and Yuan Shu had no gain at all.
The most criticized thing is that he did not take the initiative to go to Jiujiang, but after a few rounds of fighting with Cao Cāo in Yanzhou, he was driven over and fled thousands of miles. Now that the scar has not been fully healed, do you dare to be the emperor? Don't you wait to be beaten by the group?
The princes besieged Qingzhou, and the situation of the Warring States Su and Qin was similar to that of the six countries, Qingzhou was too strong, and if they did not join forces, they could only be broken by each one. And if Yuan Shu is the emperor, I am afraid that he will also be beaten, but it is not because of righteousness or anything, but he is killing himself, and everyone naturally wants to get a piece of the pie.
Wei Yan didn't believe that Yuan Shu would be so stupid and unforesighted, and others also thought that it might not be high, but Wang Yu decided that the news was true.
In history, Yuan Shu did claim the title of emperor, and then within a few years, he was defeated by the princes and killed into slag.
Call him stupid? He is really not a completely brainless person, but the conditions for him to be the emperor in history are not much stronger than now. The same failure to take Xuzhou, the same Sun Ce, who controlled Jiangdong, was out of his control, and the same failure to make progress in Yuzhou, at most, Cao Cāo's attention was diverted, and the pressure on the western front was weakened.
It can only be said that people's obsessions can indeed blind their minds and make people do inappropriate things.
The imperial throne, although Wang Yu didn't see it much, but for the Yuan family, which was a famous family in the world, it was the ultimate dream, and the two brothers were fighting for it all the time.
According to Tian Feng, Xianbei and others, even if he has not reached the peak of history, Yuan Shao has always been interested in becoming emperor.
He is much smarter than Yuan Shu, and his plan is to first promote Liu Yu to the throne, attract the attention of people all over the world, and make a certain direction to public opinion, and give up Liu Yu if he can't do it; If he can succeed, he will use Liu Yu as a stepping stone and climb to the top step by step along the situation opened by the other party.
It's just that Liu Yu is not stupid and refuses to be the stone that throws stones to ask for directions. According to Yuan Shao's plan, even if he succeeds, sooner or later he will become a puppet, bear a bad reputation, and not get the final benefits, so a fool can do such a thing.
Although he didn't get Liu Yu, Yuan Shao didn't mean to give up, the world is so big, and the Han clan doesn't have it? It's a big deal to find a little famous after rì.
Therefore, Yuan Shao in history gave up the opportunity to compete for the emperor. You must know that because of Zhang Yang's relationship, he was in an extremely advantageous position in the battle for the emperor at that time. It's just that he doesn't want to have an emperor to put on his head, and he will do things to abolish the establishment in the future and make himself a name for usurpation.
Yuan Shao stopped at Guandu, while his brother, who had the same bloodline, took the lead and paved the way for him.
According to Wang Yu's speculation, when Yuan Shu was the emperor, the happiest person should be his brother Yuan Shao, with this stupid brother at the beginning, he will not be scolded by too many people if he follows up.
Therefore, Wang Yu was not surprised at all, he didn't even doubt that Yuan Shu would leak the news to Qiao Yu - the emperor and the future generations of the president are actually similar, and they also want to build momentum and seek support in advance, such as Que Xuan, who knows that he is an amateur at a glance.
"True or false, let Shi Yuan send more people to investigate, since Yuan Shu can talk about it to the Qiao family, then he will not strictly keep it secret, it should not be difficult to start from the family in Jiujiang."
Wang Yu dispelled everyone's suspicions with one sentence, and then said in a slight mutter: "The question now is, what impact does this matter have on our army, or in other words, what benefits does it have on our army?" ”
The generals looked at each other, but they were not in a hurry to speak.
If Yuan Shu wants to be the emperor, the easiest way to deal with it is to fight in the name of righteousness, and even solve the problem of the Qiao family. However, Yuan Shu is still only blowing the wind in private, and has not made up his final decision, using the wind and shadows as evidence to make a big move, and justice is a little insufficient.
What's more, if Wang Yuyi doesn't leave the East China Sea, Yuan Shu may not have the courage to put this important thing into practice. And with Cao Cāo's westward advance, the situation in the world is in rapid turmoil, how can Wang Yu have time to spend time with Yuan Shu?
If you want to take advantage of the fire, how easy is it to talk about it?
In silence, an announcement came from outside the conference hall: "Lord Qiqi, Lu Zhicheng has arrived and is waiting outside the palace." ”
The official system of the Han Dynasty, the chief in charge of the affairs of the nomads in the border area and the princes and princes is Da Honglu, and the official position of Qingzhou is also continued according to this system.
"Zijing came so quickly." Wang Yu raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice: "What are you still waiting outside?" Why don't you come to see me? ”
Lu Su entered the curtain not long ago, but he was bold and generous, especially good at interacting with people, and got along very well with the generals in Qingzhou.
Thinking of the mission given to Lu Su before, Wang Yu easily deduced that Lu Su did not come back alone, and his courtesy was for outsiders to see.
In other words, Zhang Miao is likely to have come!
This person is willing to take this trip in person, and the deadlock of the state army is expected to be broken, coupled with the favorable impact of Yuan Shu's title as emperor on the situation in Jianghuai, Wang Yu's heart disease suddenly went more than half, how can he not like it.
"See the lord! This time I went to Yanzhou, fought against the lord and the tiger, and was fortunate not to be dishonored, and invited the Zhang Yuanjun brothers to come together...... "Lu Su knew Wang Yu's style, and after coming in, he just gave it away, and then talked about business directly.
As Wang Yu expected, Zhang Miao had no intention of going against Qingzhou, and in a sense, he was also using Lu Bu.
On the one hand, he took revenge on Cao Cāo, who first secretly calculated him, and then turned his face and took Chen Liu, and his former friendship had long since turned into hatred; On the other hand, he also used Lu Bu as a bargaining chip to convey some information to Wang Yu, especially after learning that Wang Yu had been enveloping the Bingzhou army, his thoughts became more and more firm.
Wang Yu sent an invitation through Lu Su, which was a long-awaited invitation for Zhang Miao, so he showed full sincerity and brought his family and cronies over.
"That Zang Ziyuan is also here?" Pang Tong interjected and asked.
Lu Su nodded: "It's also here, it is said that he had dealt with the lord back then, and there was also a captain Li Yifeng who came with him......"
Chinese people value interpersonal relationships, and interpersonal relationships are nothing more than old relatives, Zang Hong has dealt with Wang Yu in sour jujube, Li Yifeng has witnessed the battle of Yangren throughout the whole process, Zhang Miao brought these two people together, which is undoubtedly a manifestation of sincerity.
Before Lu Su finished speaking, Wang Yu had already noticed Pang Tong's thoughtful expression, and before he could ask, he saw Pang Tong raise his head violently, and Zhuge Liang on the other side said in unison: "Lord, Tong (Liang) has a plan, but it can be ......."
Pang Tong turned his head to look at it, and said humbly: "Kong Ming, you speak first." ”
"The elder comes first, Brother Shiyuan is older, and the younger brother should be humble." Zhuge Liang returned the salute, which was also a humble speech.
Wang Yu waved his hand, interrupting the two of them, and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to be humble." I think this is good, and you two will write down the plan on a piece of paper, and then you will confirm it together. ”
Dragons and phoenixes offer plans? Seems to coincide a bit? This kind of treatment, even Liu Bei in history has never enjoyed it, right? Wang Yu thought happily in his heart. (To be continued.) )
