For Xu Shu's voluntary envoy, Wang Yu repaid the mentality of victory and joy in defeat.

Compared with their own side, the alliance between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is more solid, and it is a back-to-back internal battle, but in terms of strategic layout, it has occupied a considerable advantage.

Yuan Shu was in trouble and couldn't count on it; There was a lot of opposition within Xuzhou, and after so much time had passed since the Battle of Mount Tai, even a messenger had not been sent, and Tao Qian was obviously in a hurry; Gongsun Chan seems to be a strong soldier, but it is just like that, Gongsun Chan in history was finally destroyed by Yuan Shao.

Regarding the battle between Yuan and Gongsun, historians summarized many reasons, such as national strength, employment, and strategy, but according to Wang Yu's point of view, Gongsun Zhan was congenitally insufficient, and this battle was doomed to lose before it began.

Yuan Shao's strategic posture was very good, and all threats to the south were blocked by Cao Cao; Zhang Yang in Hanoi is his subordinate force, that is, the Montenegrin army can find him some trouble, and he can gather most of the forces of Jizhou to fight against the threat from Youzhou.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zhan is at odds with Liu Yu internally, who is still his nominal boss, and in addition, his flanks are also exposed to the enemy.

Xianbei in the north and Karasuma in the east have a deep hatred for him, and even without these hatreds, these nomads will not let go of any opportunity to go south to the Central Plains and burn and kill and plunder.

In this situation of internal and external troubles, Gongsun Zhan's strength can only be superficial. In the war with Jizhou, even if he won one or two battles, he did not have the time and strength to expand the results, and if he lost, he would be defeated.

Therefore, Wang Yu granted Xu Shu's request.

If Lu Bu can be brought into the alliance and let him stab Cao Cao from behind and cut off the connection between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it will naturally be greatly beneficial to the overall situation.

It is also a good thing to let Yuan Shu withdraw from Jingzhou as soon as possible, and Yuan Shu, who has preserved his strength, can create more pressure on the Yuan and Cao alliances in Yuzhou.

Of course, with the temper of those two, it is difficult to achieve the goal. Wang Yu didn't pin his hopes on this. He is accustomed to relying on his own strength to solve problems, and this way of taking advantage of the situation can only be superficial.

Xu Shu's final destination was Lumen Mountain, on the one hand, to convey the news of the establishment of Taishan Academy, and at the same time to invite Jingxiang celebrities to watch the ceremony, and by the way, to bring his wife to Qingzhou.

The last one was told by Wang Yu, which moved Xu Xiao, and Wang Yu himself was relieved. Xu Shu's importance in the army will only become more and more important, and he doesn't want to repeat Liu Bei's mistake and let his henchmen's family fall into the hands of the enemy, and he is in a dilemma.

Tian Feng had some objections to Wang Yu's strategic plan of attacking the north and defending the west, giving up the weak and attacking the strong.

He thinks that Gongsun Zhan is very strong, even if he loses in the end, he can contain Yuan Shao for a few years, and Qingzhou should take advantage of this opportunity. swept Yanzhou, together with Yuan Shu and Tao Qian. It is right to completely defeat the weaker Cao Cao.

If it goes well, maybe you can take the opportunity of the change in Guanzhong to welcome the sky to Mount Tai, so that the name of righteousness will be completely controlled in your hands.

Jia Xu leaned towards Wang Yu's opinion, and he made it from the perspective of people's hearts.

Yuan Shu is a person who can only share hardships and hardships, not wealth and prosperity. If the battle in Yanzhou is in a stalemate, it will be fine, and if Cao Cao is driven away smoothly, this General Yuan will definitely be held back. Or even turn your face directly. At that time, the Yanzhou war will really respond to the old saying that waves of unsettled waves will rise again and again.

In addition, although Tao Qian was a kind elder, the local power in Xuzhou was too strong, and the princely forces dominated by local forces all had one characteristic, namely: strong defense of the territory and weak expansion.

It is also easy to understand that local forces are more concerned with preserving their existing interests than in such a risky move as expansion. Once the expansion fails and is counterattacked by the enemy, it is difficult to preserve the family business; Even if all goes well, new forces will join, or new forces will rise through their military exploits, which will also dilute the power in their hands.

Therefore, the opposition within Xuzhou is easy to understand.

That was not necessarily purely against Wang Yu, but more of a protest against Tao Qian's decision to join the alliance and want to involve Xuzhou in the Central Plains War. With these local forces dragging behind, Xuzhou's help is almost negligible, and it may have the opposite effect.

Intelligence shows that on the eve of the Battle of Taishan, the Taishan thieves of Langya once left their old nest Kaiyang, followed Wushui, and went straight to Feiguo, apparently intending to take advantage of the chaos to take several counties in the south of Taishan County into their arms.

The possibility of Lu Bu joining the alliance is also quite low, among the alliance, only Gongsun Chan is a reliable ally, if he is allowed to fight alone, if he is not rescued, and when Yuan Shao suppresses Youzhou, it will be Qingzhou's turn to fight alone.

Instead of getting involved in the chaotic war in the Central Plains that I don't know when it will have results, it is better to suppress Yuan Shao with Gongsun Zhan, occupy Hebei step by step, and finally turn back to attack the Central Plains.

As for Feng Yingtian, there is no need for that now, anyway, Wang Yu has the name of righteousness to fight against the ministers, and it doesn't make much difference whether there is a heaven or not. Besides, Yiqing

The present political program of the state, the arrival of the Heavenly Court and the Imperial Court, will only add to the chaos and will not help in any way.

If it weren't for the conservative scholars and doctors in the court, who only knew how to fight for power and profit, how could the Han Dynasty have fallen to such a point today?

In the end, Tian Feng was convinced, Qingzhou's new policy was his hard work, how did he not know the stakes? The new policy is based on the program of strengthening the country and enriching the people, harming the interests of wealthy families, and the arrival of the imperial court will only bring countless surging undercurrents, which will have disadvantages but no advantages.

In the next few military meetings, Wang Yu's generals also gathered together and quickly reached an agreement.

Yu Ban is a pure soldier, and he pursues the creed that he will fight wherever the lord points out, and rarely thinks about things outside the army, so naturally there will be no objections.

Xu Huang believes that the army has always been in a state of expansion and combat, and it should also be properly repaired and trained. After the Tuntian and the new military system have achieved results, they will fight out in one breath with an unstoppable momentum and sweep the Central Plains. Instead of fighting and stopping, turning the war into a bad war and a tug-of-war, the gains outweigh the losses in the end.

Huang Zhong strongly supported Jia Xu's claims, especially the fact that Yuan Shu was not credible. Wang Yu also found out that this veteran seemed to be easy-going, but he was actually quite a grudgeful person, and he also secretly reminded himself not to offend this old guy.

As for Tai Shi Ci, this belligerent did not participate in the military discussion at all, and only dropped a sentence: 'Where the lord is headed, it is what Ci Dao Feng points to', and he took the new subordinates who had just handed over to Huang Zhong to suppress the bandits.

According to Wang Yu's understanding, the meaning of Tai Shici's bold words is: If there is a battle, the stronger the enemy, the more we can show our bravery. Therefore, Tai Shici's opinion, don't ask.

After reaching a consensus, Wang Yu began to reorganize the troops and make strategic arrangements.

First of all, the original Taishan army was divided into five, and then the county soldiers in various places were eliminated from the weak and left the strong, and expanded.

Ren Huangzhong was the commander of Taishan County, with the original Hanoi County soldiers and Taishan soldiers as the main backbone, expanding the army to 3,000, guarding Fenggaocheng, and mainly defending the palace. The powerful forces in Taishan are ignored for the time being, and these people can maintain their original strength as a guarantee of local security.

Ren Xu Huang was the captain of the capital of Jinan, mainly with the heavy infantry and Danyang soldiers directly under his command, forming a new army, expanding the army by 5,000, and the westernmost Licheng of Jinan as a stronghold to deter surrounding forces.

Licheng is at the junction of Jinan and Pingyuan County, and it is only more than 100 miles away from Lu County, the seat of Jibei State. If you follow the southwest direction of Jishui, you can enter the territory of Dongjun in two days, which is a major threat to all the surrounding forces.

The headquarters of the Taishan army will be transferred to Linzi, the seat of Qingzhou after the year, after the destruction of the Yellow Turban Army, the population of Linzi is less than half of the past, but the city wall is still there, and it is not difficult to rebuild.

Wang Yu deployed the main force here, with the Royal Forest Army and the Northern Army soldiers who surrendered on the same day, restored the name of the Royal Forest Army, expanded the army to 8,000, with Yu Ban as the main general, stationed in Linzi, at any time to support Mount Tai, Jinan two battlefields, and at the same time can also deter the Taishan thieves of Langya State.

The cavalry formed a separate army, and due to the great cost, it was not expanded for the time being, but only replenished with new blood and restored the pre-war establishment. Tai Shici's special combat team has expanded to 300 people, and this time the requirements are much more relaxed than before, not limited to those with superb archery skills, but purely based on personal combat strength and special skills as the selection criteria.

The county soldiers in each county were drastically reduced, and in addition to the main force mentioned above, only a minimum number of security forces were retained. Therefore, although the main force has been expanded nearly doubled, the size of the army has been greatly reduced in the case of Qingzhou as a whole.

Before Wang Yu entered Qingzhou, Kongrong's Beihai alone could pull out tens of thousands of troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, and now the total number of troops in Qingzhou and Taishan is only 20,000, which fully reflects Wang Yu's elite army policy.

Although they knew that the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 army was far above the original Qingzhou army, the princes from all walks of life who bordered Wang Yu were still relieved.

It is reported that on the day Liu Dai received the information, he set up a banquet and invited the county ministers of Lu, Jibei, and Dongping to go to the banquet.

At the same time, the country of Langya, which has always been in a state of war, has also come into contact with a state of tension. Except for the main general Zang Ba, the Taishan group left Kaiyang and returned to their stations.

The plains in the north belonged to Gongsun Zhan's sphere of influence, but it had no effect, only Liu Bei, who had been hiding in the plains of Zhisuo, finally remembered his duty, crossed the Yellow River, and returned to his territory Gaotang.

He picked up a lot of bargains in the Battle of Mount Tai, and expanded his army to 3,000 by collecting the rout. Although Wang Yu did not say that he wanted to pursue it, Liu Bei was still a little uncertain in his heart, so he kept relying on Tian Kai's side, which made the latter annoyed.

After stabilizing the interior, Wang Yu was about to set his sights on the Hebei battlefield, but as a result, as soon as he appeased Qin Feng, who had returned to Youzhou to help in the war, there was a fire in the backyard, and Tai Shici, who had already advanced the bandit front to the Donglai area, sent a message for help!
