Before Tian Feng arrived, Wang Yu and Jia Xu discussed and speculated on Yuan Shao's strategy and came to a general conclusion, which led to the launch of the intelligence war against Zhang Jaw.

Although it is an inference, with Wang Yu's understanding of Yuan Shao and Jia Xu's strategy, the conclusion should not be wrong, and after Tian Feng, who is familiar with the internal situation in Jizhou, it is not far from the facts.

The people present were all henchmen, and Wang Yu did not shy away from it, and sighed: "As Yuan Hao expected, Yuan Shao did not stick to building a grand encirclement and attacking from all sides, but came to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. ”

Tian Feng didn't take credit, the expression on his face looked quite complicated, he shook his head, and sighed: "Frustrated Gonghe has been reactivated. ”

What he said was clueless, but Wang Yu understood what he meant at once.

Yuan Shao has some family style on him, he likes grand scenes and momentum, and if he can create ten points, he will definitely not only get eight points, but only twelve points to his liking.

With the depth of his resentment against Wang Yu, he must be eager to reproduce the grand occasion of the heroes begging for Dong that day, pull up all the princes who can be pulled up in the world, besiege him from all directions, and give Wang Yu an ambush on all sides, embattled on all sides, so as to express the evil breath in his chest.

But the style of the frustration is completely different. Although this gentleman can also bluff, his arrangement is often real in the void, and the void is only to confuse the enemy and cover the real killing moves, rather than purely scaring people, deceiving himself into thinking that he can scare the enemy to death.

Wang Yu's judgment was based on Yuan Shao's presiding over the situation.

And Tian Feng believes that after the fiasco, Yuan Shao will definitely rethink the benefits of frustration and entrust him with important tasks, even if what frustration says is contrary to his ears. He will endure it too.

This is Yuan Shao's strength, he is very good at recognizing and employing people, and the reason why he lost because of this in history is not because he has a problem with his vision, but purely because he has learned too much power and art, and the evil result of bureaucratization.

An important sign of bureaucracy is that being a person is more important than doing things, but people who can do things are often worse people. Just like Frustration, Tian Feng, and then like Lu Yi and Zhang Jaw.

Wang Yu was blinded by the foresight, but Tian Feng saw it clearly.

When Yuan Shaowo was in Bohai and Hanoi, he was very polite and virtuous, and attached great importance to the demeanor of talents. That's why Tian Feng is willing to follow. However, when it became a foregone conclusion that Yuan Shao's family temper attacked, he became high-minded and refused to listen to advice.

This mode can also be substituted into the battle of the boundary bridge, before and after the battle of Longminao.

Before the boundary bridge. Gongsun Zhan was menacing, Bai Ma Yi was famous all over the world, Yuan Shao naturally did not dare to be careless, and transferred all the most capable people under him into battle. successfully destroyed the white horse Yicong, and had the posture of turning defeat into victory.

Although Wang Yu disrupted the victory in the end, the strategic purpose was achieved after all, and Gongsun Chan lost his previous momentum. As long as you work steadily, it is not difficult to solve each other.

Outcome. As soon as the situation improved, Yuan Shao sprouted his old state, so he was replaced, and then there was the battle of Longcuo.

Out of fear of Wang Yu, Yuan Shao did not dare to let his henchmen like Chun Yuqiong lead the army, and reluctantly promoted Lu Yi, who was not relied on on both sides, to be the commander. But in order to check and balance, he stuffed Chun Yuqiong and others in the past to check and balance Lu Yi, and refused to let Lu Yi command Zhang Jaw's troops.

Long Minao's victory, although Wang Yu's trick worked, but it was not because Yuan Shao himself disrupted the formation. If Zhang Jaw and Lu Yi cooperate closely, this battle may still be lost, but it may not be so badly defeated.

All in all, Long Miaozhi was defeated by Yuan Shao, and according to the usual practice, he will definitely re-introspect, put down his subordinates and power skills, and reappoint the group of people who can do things.

Now, the opponent Wang Yu is facing is no longer Yuan Shao, who can only show off conspiracy, but a resourceful, military strategy, and pragmatic style, this is a strong enemy that cannot be ignored!

According to Wang Yu's inference, Yuan Shao's helpers were mainly: Liu Yu in Youzhou, Cao Cao and Liu Dai in Yanzhou, Zhang Yang in Hanoi, and senior cadres in Bingzhou.

Yuan Shao may have adopted the strategy of courting Dong at the beginning, ordering Liu Yu to go south, Cao Cao and Liu Dai to cross the river to the north, and he himself joined forces with Gao Gan and Zhang Yang, first taking advantage of his unpreparedness to deal with Zhang Yan, who came uninvited, and then the three-way army surrounded and fought against Wang Yu together.

Liu Yu is nominally the boss of Gongsun Zhan, and he is also a prestigious member of the Han family and an important minister of the imperial court, so Gongsun Chan may not dare to tear his face with this person. From Yuan Shao's point of view, if you are lucky, you may be able to solve Gongsun Zan without blood. It's nothing if it can't be solved, anyway, when Liu Yu came, Wang Yu and Gongsun Zan scored troops to resist, and the effect was the same.

Of course, Wang Yu himself would definitely not adopt such a plan, and like Dong, this kind of plan of dividing and attacking together seems to be violent. In fact, limited by means of communication and selfishness, the soldiers and horses of all walks of life could not coordinate at all, and it was impossible to achieve the effect of dividing and attacking together, which was far less than letting the princes of all walks of life play their own roles.

Obviously, after Fu Zhu took over, he adjusted his strategy, no longer pinning his hopes on Liu Yu to go south, but instigating Liu Yu to be born in Youzhou

matter, in order to contain Gongsun Zhan.

Youzhou is the foundation of Gongsun Zhan, if you lose Youzhou and Jizhou is not down, Gongsun Chan will be hung in the middle, and he has to save him. Without the powerful Youzhou Iron Cavalry, Wang Yu would only be able to fight alone, which was naturally much easier to deal with.

That's why there is this letter from Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan was also very helpless, but he couldn't help it, and Wang Yu couldn't force him to stay. Losing Youzhou, Gongsun Chan is not a prince all the way, but a wandering army, and Liu Bei has become the same kind.

How embarrassing those days are, just look at the current Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army was also from the border army, and its combat effectiveness was very strong. After Lu Bu occupied Luoyang, he fought on all sides, fought dozens of big and small battles, and almost every one of them had the upper hand, but he just didn't dare to defend and fight desperately with a certain prince.

Why? It is because it is far away from the annexation of states that there is not enough military resources to replenish. The kind of strong soldiers of the border army in Bingzhou cannot be trained casually, and randomly finding some sources of troops to supplement it will only reduce the combat effectiveness.

Since there is one less dead, where does he dare to fight? can only be used to repel the opponent for the purpose of accepting it when it is good, slowly training recruits, and looking for opportunities to break the game.

Gongsun Zan is similar to Lu Bu, with Youzhou, he can find a source of new soldiers from the fierce border people, make up for the losses, and leave Youzhou. Even if he occupies a few counties in Jizhou, it will be more than worth the loss.

Without strong cavalry, Gongsun Zhan's military strategy is not as good as Tian Kai and Liu Bei.

Therefore, Gongsun Chan had to come back to help.

is also the method of containing troops and frustration, which is much better than Yuan Shao. It can not only have a restraining effect, but also be easier to convince Liu Yu. The latter has a prominent identity, but it is not something that can be assigned casually, even if it is just to contain Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao has to pay the corresponding price in order to make Liu Yu's heart move. If Liu Yu is to be allowed to go south, the price will only be greater.

These are all speculations, but they are inferences made on the basis of detailed information, so Wang Yu and others are discussing and scrutinizing with a very serious attitude.

"Fortunately, Brother Bo Jue has the righteousness to leave the French brother and Xuande Gong's foot soldiers to me for scheduling, otherwise it will be even more troublesome." Wang Yu smiled bitterly.

"What's the use of that?" Tai Shi Ci pursed his lips and said in a bleak voice: "Although the number of those foot soldiers is quite large, their combat power is ...... It's okay to bully and bully the county soldiers, but in the face of Yuan Shao's main coalition army, it is not qualified to be an auxiliary. ”

Qingzhou's civil and military forces all agreed with Wang Yu's elite soldier policy. The civilian officials in charge of internal affairs will definitely support it, and the fewer troops there are, the less they will consume, and more resources can be used for internal affairs construction.

Of course, the civil servants later discovered that there was not much savings in other resources, except for the real savings in human resources. Elite soldiers, it's not to say, although the regular army in Qingzhou is small, the resources spent on each soldier can be as high as three or five ordinary princes, which is more than five times higher than that of the county soldiers!

Not to mention anything else, just the recent paper armor.

The new paper sources that Qingzhou once had high hopes for are now all worn by the cavalry, and the workshop presided over by Mi Zhu is fully operational, and it will be able to meet the needs of the front line. Not only has the sales of new paper in Xuzhou been completely paralyzed, but even the supply of academies has been in short supply. Cai Yan rarely sent a coquettish letter to his family, for this reason.

And that's just the raw materials, and taking into account the thousands of craftsmen mobilized for this purpose, and tens of thousands of auxiliaries who transported them long distances...... If it weren't for the autumn harvest, the army on the front line would be able to lose food to the enemy, and this huge expense alone would be enough for Wang Yu to drink a pot.

How else to say it, this kind of war, before arriving at the battlefield, is fighting for the economy, and after arriving at the battlefield, it is the turn of the famous generals to appear on the stage, command and dispatch, and charge into battle.

Tai Shi Ci didn't think about these things, he was just proud of the combat effectiveness of his own army, and he was proud of it because of it. In his opinion, the cavalry of Youzhou is a dragon, and the foot soldiers are insects, and he is distressed when the former loses one, and the latter does not want to give him away in vain.

"You can't say that." Wang Yu smiled faintly and said: "Ziyi, do you know, there are wise generals and brave generals in the world, each with their own strengths, but above these two, there are also famous generals. I think that the primary characteristic of a famous general is that he is not confined to conventions, and any soldier in his hands can play a corresponding role, so there is a saying that Han Xin points soldiers, and the more the merrier. ”

"Oh?" Tian Feng raised his eyebrows, and asked with interest: "It turns out that there is such an explanation for this sentence, think about it, it really makes sense, the lord is well-read and strong, and Feng admires it." ”

Jia Xu turned his head and rolled his eyes: Brother Yuan Hao is good at everything, but he is too sincere, the lord made up the words of the ancients, and it is not from today, it is obvious that he is fooling again, Ziyi has always been heartless, and it is just a matter of being fooled, Brother Yuan Hao, why are you also serious?

You know, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was good to be able to pull out a soldier into battle, who had the leisure time to divide the troops so carefully and make them so specialized?

Xu Huang heard another meaning in Wang Yu's words, and asked in a deep voice: "Lord, where did the plan to break the situation come from?" ”

The corners of Wang Yu's mouth twitched, revealing a confident smile: "It's very simple, think about how Xu Gongqing dealt with Cao Cao and Sun Jian that day, let's deal with Yuan Shao this time!" ”
