"Hurry up, please!" Hearing that it was Zhang Fei who came, Wang Yu said that he had to get up to greet him, and on the other hand, he was also puzzled, turned his head, and looked at Jia Xu.

It is said that at the same time as Liu Bei's army was defeated, the messenger asking for help had already been dispatched, and it seemed that there was no need to let Zhang Fei go again, right?

Liu Bei's generals are not many, Qingyuan City is besieged, whether it is defending the city or breaking through, Zhang Fei is an indispensable combat force, let him be a messenger for help, it's too wasteful, right?

Or does Liu Bei plan to pretend to be a gesture and take retreat as advance, and blackmail the people to succeed? However, even if that is the case, he should also send a Wenchen, at least Guan Yu, who is a little more eloquent, right?

Now that Zhang Fei is being sent here, the purpose is really to make people look at flowers in a fog, hazy.

Jia Xu seemed to have thought of something, but he hadn't thought it through, and when he saw Wang Yu looking at it, he just nodded faintly, and returned a look of waiting for change.

Seeing that Wang Yu didn't react, Jia Xu simply stepped forward quickly, walked behind Wang Yu, and reminded in a low voice: "Listen to him, if you are not busy, you will promise something." ”

Wang Yu bowed slightly, knowing that Jia Xu hadn't thought it through thoroughly.

In private, the two also discussed that Liu Bei's defeat in this battle was too inexplicable, and the reason for the defeat was barely reasonable, but on Liu Bei, it seemed too clumsy. Now it seems that there may be some more profound tricks in this.

When Zhang Fei strode into the military tent, he saw Wang Yu greeted him with a smile, followed by Jia Xu, the chief staff of Qingzhou, and the reception standard was quite high.

Zhang Fei grinned and said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Pengju really has a heart." ”

"When others come, they don't have to pay attention. But when the third brother comes, Yu always has to meet him. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about," Zhang Fei waved his hand and praised with a thumbs up: "What I admire most about the Pengju brothers is not martial arts, not Tao strategy, but this righteousness!" ”

"Oh?" Wang Yu's heart moved, and he asked quietly, "How do you say this?" ”

"My eldest brother has always been worried, Brother Pengju, you will focus on the overall situation. Give up the people of Qinghe and the three counties, and also give up Qingyuan. I just said no, who is Pengju? That's the world's first-class hero, why is it so unrighteous? No, we've met here. If it hadn't happened as soon as something happened, how could it have been so fast? ”

Wang Yu was slightly stunned, then spread his hands with a calm expression, and said with a smile: "What did the third brother say?" Since the Qingyou family are allies, they are in the same breath, and they should help each other, how can they sit idly by and not save each other? It's better to come early than to come at a good time. A certain and Zhujun are discussing this matter, the third brother might as well listen to it together and help get an idea? ”

Zhang Fei's words sound like the opposite at first glance. It's a bit exciting. However, as far as Wang Yu knows, although Zhang Fei is not really as unscrupulous as in Romance, he is far from being fickle. This way of speaking with a needle hidden in the middle is obviously not his style.

Could it be that Liu Bei said it in private. And then this rectum believed? However, with Liu Bei's scheming and understanding of Zhang Fei, it should not be impossible to imagine that Zhang Fei would relay these words, right? If Liu Bei thought of it and deliberately let Zhang Fei convey this meaning, then what was his purpose?

Wang Yu suddenly had a headache, he didn't take Liu Bei seriously, this is a hero, and it is the kind of hero who is very different from Cao Cao's style, but somewhat similar to Liu Dai. For Liu Bei, the most important thing is not the overall situation, but his own interests!

Therefore, Wang Yucai has always put Liu Bei outside the main battlefield, and has not expected too much from him, just planning to let the other party make up the number and cooperate with the bluff.

Now it seems that this person is a little contemptuous, whether he is strong or not, and whether he is unwilling to be lonely, there is indeed no direct connection, and his personality is the decisive factor.

While dealing with Zhang Fei casually, Wang Yu had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and understood why Jia Xu hinted like that, and the handling of Liu Bei really couldn't be too hasty, and he had to think twice before acting.

"I don't have that ability."

Zhang Fei shook his head like a drum, "Don't talk about me, my eldest brother said that he wanted to listen to Brother Pengju, I came this time, just to send a message, eldest brother said, how to fight next, listen to you." You said that you would fight in Qingyuan, and the eldest brother would wait for you in the city; You said you want to break through, I'll go back and deliver the letter, and then kill it together, let's discuss it, you just have a good idea. ”

"I see," Wang Yu didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and it was not easy to answer for a while, so he could only prevaricate with the words of the scene, "Xuande Gong's trust really makes Yu embarrassed." ”

"Humility is a virtue, but it's not fun to be too modest."

Zhang Fei raised his thumb high, with a look of honor and dignity, and said loudly: "In the palm of your hand, you destroyed Liu Dai's army of 30,000, and Cao Cao fled in a hurry, not daring to turn back, who in the world doesn't know how powerful Peng Ju is?" The eldest brother has always said that he wants to rejuvenate the Han family, and after talking about it for so many years, I want to say, this great achievement, eighty percent of it will fall on you, brother! ”

"Third Brother Meng is wrong to love, our brothers have to have a few drinks at night." Seeing that Zhang Fei was sincere, Wang Yu didn't want to be tempted too much, so he simply changed his words and brought this section over.

"That's a good idea." As soon as he heard this, Zhang Feile was happy, and all the business was left behind, "You hurry up, I'll wait for you outside, hurry up!" As he spoke, he didn't wait for Wang Yu to reply, wiped his body, and went out on his own.

Let Zhang Sanye send an envoy, it is really the most unreliable thing in the world, Wang Yu couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly ordered the guards to greet him, and set up a table of wine and food in the back tent to respond, and then relieve Zhang Sanye's gluttony.

In fact, the military discussion was almost discussed, and there was no further information, and neither the pros nor the cons could come up with any new rhetoric. was interrupted by Zhang Fei again, and the generals were even more speechless, just waiting for Wang Yu to make a decision.

But Wang Yu didn't really pinch his fingers, he knew everything, and the current situation in Hebei was quite different from what he knew. Especially after Liu Bei's incident, he was also a little hesitant between advance and retreat.

Seeing this, he simply didn't discuss it, waved his hand, and gave the order. He commanded the men to return to their camps, and to continue their march westward to-morrow, and to delay their departure by an hour.

The generals had no objection and went away. In the past few days, the departure time has been postponed for the third time, and each time it is delayed, it affects the speed of the march, which shows that the lord's attitude towards this war is becoming more and more cautious. Advice such as seeking stability naturally does not need to be mentioned again.

The ones left by Wang Yu alone were Jia Xu and Tian Feng.

Sitting down again, Wang Yu looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wenhe, there is no one else now." Words come out of your mouth, into the ears of a certain and Yuan Hao, there is no risk of leakage, why not speak up? ”

Jia Xu bowed his hand and thanked him: "The lord is serious, and it is not that he is unwilling to speak out, but there is something strange. Among them, the key was also realized after meeting General Zhang. ”

"Strange? What's the difference? Tian Feng was slightly stunned.

It is true that the war situation in Hebei is bad, but it is not strange to talk about. Whether it is Liu Bei's fiasco, or Yuan Shao's luring of wolves into the house, or the rebellion of the royal family, it all makes sense. If you think about it, you can even find a precursor.

Jia Xu smiled slightly. looked like a bamboo in his chest: "Many abnormalities, Liu Bei!" ”

"Wenhe, the more you say, the more confusing it becomes." Tian Feng was confused when he heard it, "Although this person is in the name of his relatives, he is actually just a son of a poor family, although he is good at drilling camps and occupies a place in the army of Gongsun Boqi, but he has only thousands of troops, and he will not be able to pass the gates, and there is no place to live, how big a wave can he make?" ”

"It's hard to say." Jia Xu shook his head noncommittally, turned to Wang Yu and asked, "The lord should be quite guarded against this person, right?" ”

"Not bad." Wang Yu nodded.

He guarded against Liu Bei very tightly, and the most obvious manifestation was in Zhao Yun. In order to reverse the inertia of history, after discovering Zhao Yun, he guarded Liu Bei strictly, and didn't even bother to do superficial articles, anyway, he didn't let these two people have a chance to get in touch.

Wang Yu didn't know what Gongsun Chan thought of this, the latter was not a very scheming person, maybe he didn't pay attention to it at all, but he just felt that he was thirsty for love, so he gave away horses and troops that day. But Liu Bei is a person who is very deep in the city, and he will not be unaware of it that day.

Tian Feng looked at Wang Yu with some surprise, the latter spoke frankly and directly, which was not surprising, what was surprising was that this lord was not afraid of Yuan Shao, and he was not afraid of Gongsun Zhan, but he was afraid of a little person like Liu Bei.

"In fact, as early as the time of the Tiger Prison, the open and secret struggle between the lord and Liu Bei has already appeared, but Liu Bei is too weak and sleek, and the contradictions have never surfaced......"

After seeing Liu Bei, Wang Yu actively launched a poaching operation, Liu Bei was not to be outdone, on the one hand, to consolidate the brotherhood, on the other hand, but also to return the other way. The actions of both sides have not been effective, Wang Yu's goal is too high, Liu Bei's goal is not low, Jia Xu, a person who is wise enough to protect his life, is so reluctant with Wang Yu, how can he look down on Liu Bei, who is poor and white?

Although the face was not torn, the beams between the two sides were settled. Later, Wang Yuping Qingzhou, Liu Bei with reinforcements, looked forward to it, and later took the opportunity to pick up the cheap, which was not a big deal, and it had much impact, but it could not be completely ignored.

"In the battle of the boundary bridge, Liu Bei's performance was decent, although he failed to block the edge of the Jizhou Iron Cavalry, but he finally bought time for the reinforcements of the lord. However, his subsequent performance in the Battle of Longminao was a bit strange......"

"Isn't it a desire for merit?" Wang Yu was silent, thoughtful, Tian Feng had no choice but to take over the conversation.

"At that time, Liu Bei was stationed on the plain, and there were only thousands of remnants in the city, and the combat strength was dangerous, and General Gongsun ordered Liu Bei to defend the plain from the will of the lord, as long as he held the city, if there was an enemy army who wanted to go around the city, he only needed to send out a warning signal and cut off his grain route, which was a great achievement, but was it?" Jia Xu recounted the situation at that time.

"Yes, yes." Tian Feng nodded.

Jia Xu continued: "In addition, Liu Bei also knows the enemy situation in the west, Zhang Jaw is a famous general in Hebei, with more than 10,000 elite soldiers. Liu Bei has been fighting in Hebei for more than ten years, how can he be light in the face of such an enemy? Seeking merit is not like this, right? ”

"Then ......" Tian Feng's face changed suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "Is he intentionally doing this?" But why? If our army is defeated in the Battle of Longcuo, the situation in Hebei may be ......"

"Not necessarily." Jia Xu smiled coldly and said: "This person is under the fence of Youzhou, but he has never regarded himself as a minister, but he is just temporarily attached, taking advantage of the situation to survive, and looking for opportunities to grow stronger." Such a person is ambitious, how can he be eager to seek merit? From the perspective of his consideration, he should start from himself. ”

In this way...... "Tian Feng is upright. I'm not very interested in this set of things like ghosts, and I don't think about things in this way much, but I don't understand it completely, after Jia Xu's prompt, he has a little bit of a taste.

"Liu Bei saw the paper armor prepared by the lord, so he knew that our army had a good chance of winning, and if he rushed to the battlefield early enough, he would be under the enemy's back. It is likely that the losses of our army will be much greater...... Well, even though the lord had already defeated Lu Yi first, he was still affected after all and let go of Chun Yuqiong's remnants. ”

Tian Feng stretched out his hands and asked, "But." What good is this for Liu Bei? What's more, he was able to have a place in Hebei, all thanks to General Gongsun's care, if our army was defeated by Zhang's raid, and the skin did not have hair, how would he deal with himself? ”

"Hehe, so I said. Brother Yuan Hao is a loyal gentleman. Jia Xu smiled mysteriously and said, "There are still benefits." Think about it, if the strength of our army far exceeds that of Jizhou, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses will only follow behind to pick up the leftovers; If our army and the Jizhou army suffer heavy losses at the same time, they will be weakened. And then to achieve a balance, when the time comes, even two or three thousand remnants of the soldiers, it will be very important. ”

"Phew!" Tian Feng gasped. Such a calculation was indeed beyond his imagination. After being surprised, after thinking about it, he noticed something different: "But ......"

Jia Xu didn't wait for Tian Feng to finish asking, and said to himself: "It's nothing for our army to lose out of Hebei, anyway, the generals in Youzhou are quite suspicious and squeezed out of him, and the lord is also a lot of precautions against him. If he's lucky, he can still get a piece of the pie in Qingzhou, so why not? ”

Tian Feng was silent, although his thinking was very strange, but Jia Xu's analysis was also reasonable, so he couldn't refute it.

This time, he should have a similar train of thought. It is in his best interest to attract the lord to go north and fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. With the strategy of the lord and the strong combat power of our army, even if Yuan Shao wins, it is impossible to be unscathed, and then he will go to Qingzhou in the name of rescue, even if he can't take it all, he can still get something. Yuan Shao is defeated, our army's losses will not be small, he can take advantage of the situation to attack Jizhou, unless there is a situation where one side wins a big victory and takes the enemy lightly, otherwise, the situation will become very chaotic, the more chaotic, the more beneficial it is to Liu Bei. ”

Tian Feng glared and asked, "Doesn't that mean that Qingyuan is a trap?" Then why do you still approve of entering the army? ”

"A yard is a yard." Jia Xu spread his hands and said innocently: "You can't patronize such a small person and ignore the overall situation, right?" What's more, Liu Bei's calculations are not seamless, if he really has that kind of ability, he will not be raided by Cao Ren. Brother Yuan Hao won't fail to see that his so-called protection of the evacuation of the people is a cover that is easy to pierce, right? ”

"It's really not clever, but knowing that there is such a person watching from the sidelines, I always feel ...... Since Wen He has seen this, there must be a countermeasure, so why not speak out? ”

Jia Xu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei has exhausted his calculations, but after all, his strength is too weak, he can only be said to be gambling, as long as our army has no gaps, he can only cry out in vain." The key to this battle is still on General Gongsun. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Jia Xu stared at Wang Yu's face and said softly: "The lord sent troops to Hebei, and fought dozens of battles, not to fight for territory, but to deal with the Youzhou army, so that Hebei's forces can be balanced, and win time for the development of Qingzhou." If you look at it purely from a strategic point of view, the result of the Battle of Jieqiao is the best result, but if the Youzhou army wins a big victory, the situation will be tricky. ”

The words are heart-wrenching, but the reason is clear.

At that time, Yuan Shao's foothold in Jizhou was not stable, and if he lost the first battle, he was likely to lose his family and bankrupt, and Gongsun Zan swept Jizhou. At that time, the relationship between Wang Yu and Gongsun Zhan will change for the worse.

Therefore, the outcome of the Battle of Jieqiao was the most beneficial to Qingzhou, and after that, no one in the Youzhou army regarded Wang Yu as a vassal who came to cheat and eat and drink. By the time the battle of Longcuo was over, Gongsun Zhan became more and more trusting and relied on Wang Yu, and even a heavy general like Tian Kai obeyed Wang Yu's orders.

Although Tian Kai and Wang Yu hit it off at first sight, it was a personal relationship after all, without Gongsun Zhan's nod, how could Tian Kai be driven by Wang Yu?

"The Youzhou army has suffered successive defeats, and its power is declining day by day, which seems to be unfavorable to the situation, but from another point of view, it is extremely beneficial for the lord to recruit the Youzhou army, of course, the premise is that our army wants to win this battle."

Tian Feng was taken aback by Jia Xu's reasoning, "Wenhe, are you saying that if this battle is won, General Gongsun will ......"

"It may not be that fast, but if we win this battle, it will undoubtedly greatly advance the process." Jia Xu shook his head, turned to Wang Yu and said, "What does the lord think?" ”

Wang Yu smiled with satisfaction: "Wen He really knows my heart." ”

Even if he doesn't participate, if Yuan Shao wants to kill Gongsun Zhan, he has to fight for three years and five years, and sweeping the snow in front of the door is actually a way. Sending troops, on the one hand, is to control the situation, and more importantly, to sell favors!

Gongsun Chan is a very pure general, not a hero, as long as the love is in place and the strength of the power is clear, he will not hold on to the end. Bringing the Youzhou forces under his command as a whole is Wang Yu's ultimate goal.

It is very simple to withdraw the troops now, but Tian Kai and this group of people alone will die, and it is impossible for them to escape Yuan Shao's pursuit. The favor that was sold before was lost back at once, which was a factor that Wang Yu had to consider carefully.

In addition, the people of the four counties of Qinghe are also a problem, and the people's hearts that have been easily won at a great cost will also come to naught with this retreat. In the past year, in the past year, in addition to achieving his own reputation and consuming Jizhou's strength, he has not gained anything, which is unbearable.

These deep-seated thoughts are what Jia Xu can understand.

In addition, Jia Xu's analysis of Liu Bei is also quite exciting. This analysis may be a bit too dark, but if you analyze Liu Bei's experience in the previous life from Wang Yu's point of view, it is also right.

Whoever Liu Bei is attached to, he will bring war and chaos to whomever he wants, and then he takes advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters. In Hebei, he didn't get a bargain, and then went to Xuzhou, and as a result, he successfully inherited Tao Qian's inheritance; Another example is when he goes to Runan; to Jingzhou; Attached to Eastern Wu during the Battle of Chibi; In the end, he went to Xishu again, and all followed the same rules.

"In other words, the situation is very bad, but this battle must be fought, and Liu Bei is unreliable......" Tian Feng looked at Jia Xu's eyes and asked in a solemn tone: "Wenhe, how do I think that you are not worried but happy?" ”

"But I'm not the only one who thinks so, Yuan Hao, look at the lord, aren't you also secretly happy?" was targeted by Tian Feng, the pressure was very great, and Jia Xu hurriedly caused trouble.

"My lord?" Tian Feng looked back in amazement.

"Well, with Wen He's words, so-and-so will be relieved." Wang Yu nodded, he just felt that something was wrong in advance, but he didn't find anything wrong with Liu Bei, through Jia Xu's prompt, he suddenly realized that Liu Bei's problem was determined, and the next thing was relatively simple.

"Actually, I have a plan......"
