Chapter 853 Jia Xu's argument
"Shift the handover? Why are you in such a hurry? Wang Yu was surprised, stopped, and looked at Jia Xu with a little blankness.
In Wang Yu's expectations, unless Lu Bu himself is unwilling to continue to gallop on the battlefield, Lu Bujun's final solution should be the same as Gongsun Zan and others. Although there are many heroes in the Central Plains, the frontier is also very large, and it can be accommodated as much as possible, anyway, as long as the rules are set effectively, the more people, the faster the speed of expansion, and it is of course best to have a fierce person like Lu Bu join.
However, that should be after the end of the Central Plains War, or even after the world was determined. The territory of the second grandson is just at the border, and taking advantage of the aftermath of the war in northern Xinjiang, he took advantage of the situation to fight.
Gao Gan was not in a hurry to attack, but wanted to temporarily stay in Yanmen, mainly because there were already two grandsons in the east and north of the grassland, and there was no room for him to expand, so he could only go to the west if he wanted to get out of the fortress.
If you want to expand to the west, you will have to face a more complex and stronger enemy than in the east. In addition to the Xianbei in the west, the power of Qianghu can also not be ignored, plus the Ding Ling, Xiongnu in the north, the Qianhu tribes, and some small tribes that do not have a clear belonging, the resistance is more than one or two times greater than that of the eastern grassland?
The strongest Xianbei and Wuhuan in the eastern grassland were all crippled by Wang Yu, but Gongsun Zhan still went through a hard battle to gain a foothold when he built a city under Daqing Mountain; After Gongsun Du pinched the soft persimmon of Goguryeo, the opponent in front of him was only Fuyu, but he still did not dare to venture forward, which shows that it is indeed not so simple to expand the territory.
If this is still the case on the eastern front, these enemies in the west are not something that a single high-ranking cadre can eat, even if Lu Bu is added, it will probably be useless, and the Central Plains must be moved. Gao Gan and others can take advantage of the situation to attack.
It would be good for a high-ranking cadre to have a way to go. He won't have any objection to letting him blow the wind at Yanmen Pass, as long as he is provided with enough supplies. But Lu Bu's temper ...... Wang Yu believed. Even if he is the husband of his genuine only daughter, if he dares to make such a request in person, Lu Bu will definitely turn his face and beat people directly.
Just kidding, now let Lu Bu move his defense, isn't that treating the Bingzhou Army as a miscellaneous army?
Even if he didn't think about Lu Bu, Wang Yu also wanted to use the strength of Lu Bu's army in the Central Plains War. Lu Bu himself doesn't need to say, there is still a Gao Shun in Puyang! The two sides join forces, which is like a tiger with wings. What can Cao Cao do if he collects the remnants of Dong Zhuojun?
Of course, this is not the game psychology of the previous life, if it is possible, who will not recruit Lu Bu and Zhao Yun when the Three Kingdoms will come?
"Alas, my lord!" Jia Xu spread his hands and sighed helplessly, helpless about Wang Yu's sluggishness in details.
"Lu Wenhou, what kind of person is that? Even if it's you, can you command him like an arm? The Great War was together, and Puyang became the forefront. Grain, grass, and equipment were transported, soldiers were replenished, and the wounded were transported backwards. It is really a top priority, how can it be garrisoned by such an allied force with different orders? If there is a case, then ......"
Before Wang Yu went north. The situation in Yan and Henan prefectures is quite complicated. Counting from the east, Taishan County has long been in Wang Yu's hands. The operation is generally iron-passing, with two counties in northern Hebei and Shandong. It was in the hands of the Hebei War after the Great War, and the rule was quite stable.
Further west, the three counties of Dongping, Rencheng and Shanyang were originally the buffer zone left between Wang Yu and Cao Cao after the Hebei War, and later LΓΌ Bu invaded Dongjun, and it became a buffer zone between Wang Yu and LΓΌ Bu, until the two sides made an alliance, and the westward expansion of the Qingzhou army continued.
However, due to the long blank time in the middle, the local forces in these places got the opportunity to exploit the loopholes, gradually grew, and unified the southern part of Dongping, the western part of Renchengguo and Shanyang County, plus the Peiguo of Yuzhou, and part of the northern part of Qian County.
In the early peace years, every state in the world basically had more than one assassin, which has become the norm. The imperial court can appoint, the princes from all over the country can perform, and there are still people who stand on their own, anyway, it is a troubled time, as long as the fist is hard enough, no one may be in charge of the self-proclaimed Son of Heaven, let alone the assassin or the state pastor?
Wang Yu had never heard of Guo Gong's name, and he didn't look like a person with a long-term vision when he looked at his actions. Emerging between the two major forces, either under the idea of killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, is ready to use it as a bargaining chip to find a certain side to take refuge, or it is a stunned young man who is not afraid of death, neither of which is worth paying attention to.
Wang Yu didn't know that this Guo Gong also had some deeds in history, after Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and was attacked by Lu Bu, there were only three cities left in Yanzhou that were still in his hands, and they were in danger, and then Guo Gong appeared, ready to go to Yanzhou to pick up some cheap, but Xun Yu came to the door and scared away by coercion and temptation.
Guo Gong's strength is not strong, thousands of family private soldiers, just tens of thousands of rabble, and the combat effectiveness will not be much stronger than the ordinary Yellow Turban Army. However, before and after Wang Yu launched the Northern Expedition, he really couldn't spare his hands to clean him up, so he did it rashly, and if he didn't do it, it would become a two-sided battle.
Although Cao Cao ceded Dongjun, he still firmly controlled Chenliu and the southern part of Jiyin County, plus Liangguo, Chenjun and Yingchuan in Yuzhou.
Coupled with Yuan Shu in the south, as well as the invincible Yellow Turban of Yuzhou and the rest of Yuan Shao, the situation in Yan and Henan Prefectures can be described as complicated.
Wang Yu previously regarded Lu Bu as a part of the Qingzhou Army, but hearing Jia Xu say this, it seems to make sense, and he seems to be thinking a little simple. Especially after the rumor incident, Wang Yu didn't dare to take it lightly.
Guo Gong doesn't care, it's just a clown who jumps off the beam, send a messenger to ask about the intention first, if you don't know each other, just sweep it away. But Yuan Shu must be taken into consideration, otherwise when the army marches west, it will be unbearable to be ruthless from the flank.
If Lu Bu is also an unstable factor, then the situation is even more complicated.
"Wen He's words are the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, but ......" Wang Yu muttered.
Jia Xu knew what Wang Yu was hesitating, and he said: "Why don't you ask Wen Hou to move to Taiyuan first, and how about fighting against the Xiliang army with Yuan Zhi?" β
"What is the ...... of Taiyuan," Wang Yu quickly sketched out the geography of the state in his mind. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the territory of the Han Empire was still relatively complete, and the center of the state should be Xihe. With the collapse of the country, the Hetao area was slowly invaded by foreigners. The center of Bingzhou also gradually moved eastward to Taiyuan.
At present, there are only two places in Taiyuan and Shangdang that Gao Gan, the territory really occupies by the state assassin history. It's just a wild goose gate. If Lu Bu moves to Taiyuan and Xu Shu is stationed in Shangdang, it is not a bad idea to resist the Western Liang army in the south and the north.
Lu Bu was originally from Bingzhou, and the soldiers and horses under his command were mainly from Bingzhou, and when he got there, he could be regarded as a dragon returning to the sea. There are many soldiers in Xiliang, and it is indeed very difficult for Xu Shu to contend with a partial division, so in this arrangement, the two sides only need to support each other. It is possible to blur the question of command.
As for whether Lu Bu will breed ambitions after returning to the state, Wang Yu is not worried.
In love, the two families are already relatives, so there is no need to be so stiff; In reason, before the Xiliang army came, Bingzhou was already quite dilapidated, and after being invaded by the Xiliang army, Bingzhou almost became a barren land. Even if it were to happen, it wouldn't be much of a threat.
"It's okay, when the father-in-law comes, a certain person will discuss with him." Wang Yu nodded. asked in a deep voice: "Since Wen He has thought of this, the black hand behind the rumors should not be far from ten, right?" β
"The lord is wise."
Jia Xu arched his hand. Twisted beard sneered: "This 'black hand' is very vivid. A few days ago, the lord ordered an investigation. The minister asked Shiyuan to investigate thoroughly, but finally found no actual evidence. To be precise, the clues are all interrupted, but all indications still show that the people involved in this conspiracy have more or less something to do with Yuan Valve...... What's more, most of these rumors originally came out of Sui'an. β
"That can't be wrong." It was difficult for Wang Yu to tell what his mood was for a while.
For Yuan Shu, he never had much expectation. Maybe people are like this, always thinking that the world should revolve around them, resulting in biased judgment and doing a lot of stupid things that make people feel incredible.
Now that I think about it, the death of Gongsun Yue in the original battle may have been caused by Yuan Shu's conspiracy, as for the purpose, it is nothing more than taking a fancy to the Youzhou cavalry and wanting to take the opportunity to swallow Gongsun Yue's troops.
Yuan Shu's thinking is relatively simple, and when it is harmless, it will make people feel very easy to get along with, and when he turns his face, it is also inexplicable. Disappointment is not to be talked about, but from an ally to an enemy, even with the firmness of Wang Yu's heart, there is also a sigh in his heart.
Wang Yu pinched his eyebrows and sighed: "No way, officially list Huainan as a hostile force to guard against." Sui'an's side investigated first, and if there was nothing to do with it, he would inform Wang Taishou to take precautions in advance, just in case. β
"Yes." Jia Xu knew that the lord would not be in a good mood, so he responded in a low voice, thought about it, and suddenly added: "Actually, General Yuan didn't want to see us unlucky, his idea was probably to balance it a little, so that this battle would last a little longer, so that both sides would be exhausted." β
"The snipe and the clam are fighting, and he comes to the fisherman to profit?" Wang Yu said with a smile.
Jia Xu understood why the lord smiled so strangely, with the strength of the Huainan army, unless Qingzhou and Guanzhong invaded each other's territory, killed each other with blood, thousands of miles of red land, and fought the old foundation of the army cleanly, Yuan Shu had no chance at all. However, of course, there is a reason why he can make such a judgment.
I saw him smile slightly and said: "The fisherman must want to make a profit, but it may not be the same as the one you think in your heart, the lord, General Yuan may just think that as long as you and Cao Cao are both defeated, the troubled times will last for a long, long time." β
"And then ......" Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, wondering why Jia Xu sold Guanzi again, until he saw Jia Xu's expression, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly realized: "After doing it for a long time, it turns out that he is still thinking about it, isn't this guy an idiot, he still wants to be the emperor like this, even if he does, what can he do, it's really inexplicable!" β
"Hehe," Jia Xu said with a smile: "There are tens of millions of people in the world, but most of them only look at the people in front of them, and how many people can plan for the future like the lord, regardless of their own gains and losses?" It is precisely because of Yuan Highway that the open-mindedness of the lord is doubly precious. β
"Okay, okay, don't be a sycophant, eat, eat." Wang Yu shook his head, as if he wanted to completely put Yuan Shu out of his mind, grabbed Jia Xu and entered the hall. (To be continued......)
