Historically, the Tang Dynasty has always been known as the land of Hengqu in the Central Plains, at the junction of Qi and Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and as the dividing line between Qi and Zhao during the Warring States Period. In the spring of the third year of Chuping, Gaotang stepped onto the stage of history for the first time as a political and economic center.

In early spring and February, the banks of the Yellow River have regained their vitality, and Gaotang, once a big battlefield, has become a big construction site. It may not be accurate to say that it is a construction site, as all kinds of engineering and production work are carried out at the same time.

The new city has taken shape, and the square areas are combined into a huge fan, and in each area, the clusters of houses are equally square.

At the head of the city, the fan faces west and extends infinitely to the north, until it is closely attached to the blue-green at the junction of heaven and earth, like water.

"Congratulations to my lord, the city will rise from the ground, in such a short period of time, to build such a prosperous city, not to mention that there will be no one in the future, but there is no doubt that there is no one before. When the Qin Emperor was unified, and the Xianyang City was rebuilt, the people alone used 500,000 yuan, and the time-consuming and costly materials were even more incalculable. ”

Wang Yu waved his hand and interrupted Jia Xu's endless compliments: "Okay, okay, he, don't flatter me with false feelings, don't many people say that such a humble city is also unprecedented?" ”

"That's because they don't have a vision." Jia Xu shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Let them go to Tian Yuanhao and Guo Zini to talk about it?" It's no wonder if you don't get sprayed to death! The lord built a new city in Gaotang, not focusing on the luxury of the outside, but only on the inside, and reaped all the benefits brought by the large number of people, but it didn't cost a penny, even if it was an ancient sage. How can it be compared? And ......"

"Stop, stop!" Wang Yu finally withdrew his gaze from the new city, looked at Jia Xu helplessly, and said, "He, can you just say no if you have something?" Do you have to have me staring at you to talk to you to have a sense of accomplishment? ”

"The lord's words are serious, how dare Xu An be like this?" Jia Xu was solemn, but the laziness from his heart couldn't hide it: "There is news in Hedong." ”

"So fast?" Wang Yu was a little surprised.

"The situation is urgent. Yuan Zhi took the risk of using carrier pigeons. Jia Xu nodded.

"This Yuan Zhi, the courage is getting bigger and bigger...... Wang Yu shook his head, the carrier pigeon transmits information very quickly, but it is also prone to accidents, and it is very dangerous to transmit military information. Xu Shu's behavior was indeed a little risky.

"Except for the situation in Hedong, confidential information, he used code words." Wang Yu plagiarized the military code made by later generations, not only conquered Zhang Jaw, but Jia Xu was also amazed by it.

Wang Yu didn't think there was anything to be proud of, the wisdom of the ancestors was infinite, but the descendants did not fully understand it. At that time, people's minds were not focused on this. He sighed and said, "After all, it is easy to encounter tigers in the mountains, so it is better to be careful." However, since Yuan Zhi did not hesitate to take risks, it seems that the situation in Hedong is really bad? ”

"The lord is wise." When it comes to getting down to business. Jia Xu didn't have so much nonsense, he explained the situation in Hedong and the countermeasures proposed by Xu Shu with a serious expression, and then sighed: "Yuan Zhi's plan is indeed feasible. The flaw is that the plans are interlocking, and the buckle is too tight! Something went wrong in any of the links. It can lead to a total loss......"

Jia Xu's analysis of Xu Shu's plan is very incisive, Han Xian has always felt that Xu Shu's plan is problematic, but he can't say anything to refute it, in fact, what he is worried about is what Jia Xu said.

Xu Shu's plans are not only interlocking, but also use manpower to the extreme. The manpower he brought to Hedong was barely enough, but the manpower in Hanoi was pitiful. In charge of the overall situation in Hanoi was Zhou Yi - like Li Shiyi, he was also one of the Hanoi soldiers who followed Wang Yu from the beginning and was later reused.

The situation in Hedong is not clear, and Jia Xu is not easy to judge, but Hanoi in Xu Shu's plan is definitely a weak link, and Hanoi plays a great role.

It can't be too early or too late.

If it was too early, the Bai Bo army would not have time to arrive at the predetermined location, the fleet stationed at the mouth of the Qingshui River would be very dangerous, and Mengjin in the back would have to face Zhang Yang's all-out counterattack. Too late, the White Wave army will be trapped on the bank of the river, and in panic, anything can happen.

The two battlefields are extremely far apart, even if they use carrier pigeons to transmit messages, it is difficult to unify and coordinate operations, in addition, Zhou Yi's ability to execute the plan is not bad, but his command methods can only be regarded as decent, and his martial arts are even more ordinary. Mon Tin was an important port in Hanoi, and a few hundred warships were a valuable asset to Zhang Yang, who was likely to send heavy troops to garrison it.

Even if there is internal cooperation, Zhou Yi will not necessarily be able to win Meng Jin.

Of course, in addition to Hanoi, Xu Shu's plan in Hedong also has a lot to worry about, he has to calculate Guo Tai and Li Dao at the same time, as long as either side makes a move that he did not expect, it will be dangerous.

Jia Xu was worried, but Wang Yu seemed a little careless, and he was distracted.

Wang Yu remembered the past in Hedong, the steady Han Xianam, the official fan Yang Feng, the bold and righteous Li Le, and Hu Cai's voice was even a little blurred. But there is no doubt that these people are good people.

Wang Yu clearly remembers the fate of these people in history, Bai Bo in history, was involved in the chaos in Chang'an, spent an extremely heavy price, recaptured the Son of Heaven from Li Dao and Guo Yan, and then was easily seized by Cao Cao, and the last few leaders were dead without a place to be buried.

These people don't deserve to die, at least they shouldn't be that. So when Wang Yu left Hedong, he told a few people very much, trying to let them avoid the chaos, and not to try to fight wits with the careerists in the troubled times.

But the inertia of history is enormous, and they are eventually swept up in it and caught in an extremely dangerous situation. Even with Xu Shu's ability, he can only formulate a dangerous plan to try to rescue.

The plan was very risky, and Jia Xu pointed out a few rather fatal flaws at will. At this moment, Xu Shu should not be as good as Jia Xu, but the gap between the two will not be so big, thinking about it this way, Xu Shu's purpose of venturing the message back is obvious - he is asking for help.

When Xu Shu sent the message. Presumably in the White Bo Army, he has to be very confident, so he can't ask for help openly, he can only use hints, he believes that he and Jia Xu will definitely be able to see the problem.

In fact, with Jia Xu's penetrating comprehension, Bacheng also saw Xu Shu's purpose. The reason why he chattered so much was undoubtedly to imply himself and reluctantly save him. It's better to simply give up Baibo.

The most important role of the Bai Bo Army was only to disrupt Cao Cao's strategic deployment, so that he could not quickly attack Guanzhong, which was not very important. Even without Bai Bo's containment, Cao Cao marched westward. It is also impossible to pacify Sansuke in a short period of time.

On the other hand, in order to save Bai Bo, Qingzhou needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, and also take a lot of risks. In the end, what I got was at most a little containment of Cao Cao, and tens of thousands of soldiers and population.

The current Qingzhou is not just when the army was raised, and the old jurisdiction of Qingzhou now has a population of nearly two million. Coupled with Jizhou and Langya, the population under Wang Yu's jurisdiction is now close to four million! In terms of households, they are close to one million. Jia Xu's little benefit to saving Bai Bo is indeed a bit unsightly.

Seeing that Wang Yu's face was as usual, he didn't seem to understand what he meant. Jia Xu simply let go and said bluntly: "Guo Tai and Dong Zhuo are both the same dog, if the lord is still worried about Cao Cao, you can write a letter." Ordered Han Xian and others to surrender to Li Dao, so that they could. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Wang Yu sighed in his heart, Jia Xu is Jia Xu after all, purely from reality, and will never be blinded by feelings. It is undoubtedly the most rational choice to give up the Hedong battlefield, which is beyond the reach of the whip, and use his prestige as a bargaining chip to make Bai Bo make a choice that is beneficial to his side.

It's just that, even if you are a prince, after all, you are also a human being, and some things should not be purely rational after all.

"And, I understand what you mean, but after two years, the Bai Bo generals still regard me as the master, just a 'little heavenly master', which made the whole city thunderous, how can you let me bear to abandon it?"

If he takes refuge in Mrs. Guo, Bai Bo will follow the old road of history and eventually perish; It is not much better to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, with the brutality of the Liang army in the west, even if Dong Zhuo does not die, what awaits Bai Bo is only torture and massacre and tyrannical expropriation.

Jia Xu was silent for a moment, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, and persuaded: "Lord, you have to consider the overall situation after all." Now Hebei has been decided, although it has deterred all forces through the alliance, but what it is afraid of is the military strength of our army after all, once the army leaves Gaotang and even gets involved in a war, the situation may be out of control. ”

Seeing that Wang Yu was still unmoved, Jia Xu looked around and saw that there was no one left and right, so he said in a low voice: "There is a report in the north, after General Gongsun went north, he ordered Shan Jing to be the Taishou of Bohai; ordered the French general to return to Youzhou and guard Yuyang; Zou Dan led his troops into Anping, and he led the army to build Yijing on the east bank of Juma Water to the west of An, and was eyeing Jixian County, obviously with the intention of beating the water dogs. ”

"What do you mean......" Wang Yu frowned slightly.

Gongsun Zhan's intention was very clear, Tian Kai's foot soldiers followed him through the whole battle of Hebei, and the original rabble had become an elite army. Tian Kai is in Yuyang, and Gongsun Zan himself is in the northernmost part of Hejian County, forming a trap for Liu Yu in Jixian County.

However, Gongsun Chan may have been unintentional, but he left Bohai County, which borders the five counties in southern Hebei, to Shan Jing, and the latter's attitude towards Qingzhou has always been the most resistant.

In this way, once something happens in Youzhou, it becomes very troublesome if you want to interfere with it.

If Gongsun Chan successfully defeats Liu Yu, his power will be greatly enhanced, and if someone is in the middle to provoke, the relationship between the two families will face a severe test. If Gongsun Chan loses, things will be even worse, even if he has the heart to rescue, he doesn't dare to leave Shan Jing behind.

In fact, one of the very important reasons for the Gaotang Alliance is to restrict Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu from going to war, and winning there is not good news for Qingzhou. Only if Hebei remains peaceful, it will be most beneficial to Qingzhou.

Just like the ongoing war in Xuzhou, whoever wins Tao Qian and Yuan Shu is not beneficial to Qingzhou, and it is best for the two families to shake hands and make peace and stop the war.

As many idealists in later generations expected, it is better to never increase the strength of the enemy, but to stay there at the level like NPCs, waiting for the protagonist to kill.

In fact, if it is possible, Wang Yu also hopes so, but the reality will never be like that.

"If the main force of our army stays in the plain, it will have a deterrent effect on both the south and the north, and if something happens, it will be good to respond quickly, but if our army suddenly advances westward, I am afraid it will ......" Jia Xu said earnestly: "Lord, you must guard against launching the whole body!" ”

"Hmm." Wang Yu knew very well that before the army moved, the deterrent power was the strongest, so the soldier saint said: Go to the army and strategize. It is the most clever state to use strength to deter the enemy, and then consolidate the advantage through strategy and diplomatic negotiations, and slowly weaken or even eat away at the enemy. The previous Gaotang Alliance followed this routine.

But again, the human brain is not a central computer, and it is never possible to completely abandon emotional factors and act completely according to the pros and cons.

"And, I know what you mean, however, in life, after all, there is something to do and not to do! Needless to say, he will not abandon any of the soldiers under his command, nor will he abandon any of the people under his rule! ”

Wang Yu turned around like a whirlwind, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and shouted: "Pass my order, and let Zilong, Ze, Ziyi, and Yuanfu see you in the future!" ”

"No!"
