Chapter 353: The Plains Society
(Thanks to the Great Alliance!) Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, ufgw, color bat, Xuanyuan elephant, please turn on the lights at dawn, little green kou)
At the end of December of the third year of Jian'an, on the north bank of the Yellow River, under the city of the plain.
A temporary camp, one side of the corner tower, all around is full of all kinds of tooth flags, on both sides of the gate, the green tiger flag hunts in the wind, a big "Yuan" word, particularly eye-catching.
The layout of this camp is rather strange, first of all, its scale is not large, at most it can only garrison three or five hundred soldiers and horses; Then there is that there are no trenches or deer around the camp. But looking at the specifications of the tooth banner and the Yuanmen Xuan, it is obvious that he is the highest-ranking figure of the Yuan clan in the plains.
This specification and style are very similar to hunting, but the time is not right, the weather is cold, how can there be hunting?
However, the answer was soon revealed.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, a group of men and horses appeared on the horizon, and the banner flew and came in a hurry.
After a while, the sentry who looked up from the watchtower quickly ran down the wooden ladder and reported to the big tent in the center of the camp: "Coming, coming, but it seems to be a little strange......
"What's weird?" As soon as the curtain was lifted, it was about thirty years a year, with two thick beards, upright facial features, and a heroic man between his eyebrows.
**It is the plain guard, the general of Zhendong, and the Bohai Taishou Yuan Tan.
"Report to the general, my subordinates saw that in addition to the green-eyed white wolf headhunting flag, there was also a slightly smaller white flag, on which was a cyan long worm, I don't know if it was a snake or a Jiao ......"
"It's not a snake, it's not a Jiao, it's a dragon, a green dragon!" Two more people stepped out of the tent, one of whom was Guo Tu, who was released. The other person is Wang Xiu, who has been absent for a long time, and he is currently engaged in Qingzhou governance, and it is he who corrects the sentry's speech.
"Oh, the dragon wolf Qinglong Army, it must be Taishi Ziyi's personal arrival, and Shuzhi really didn't blame me." Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile bloomed on his face, and he made a solemn gesture. "Let's go, I'll wait until Yuanmen welcomes Ziyi."
The hunting wolf flag (military flag) and the green dragon flag (number flag) complement each other, and under the banner, is Tai Shici of silver helmet and steel armor. Seeing Yuan Tan from afar, Tai Shici threw the stirrup and dismounted, bowing his hand.
And Yuan Tan also greeted him with a smile, with a warm and bold attitude, which is quite Xiao Nai's father. Equally. Yuan Tan also learned his father's outer width and inner taboo to the fullest.
Although Tai Shici repeatedly defeated Yuan Tan on the battlefield and made this Yuan Dashao powerless, the huge gap between the two people's backgrounds is still ironclad.
Yuan Tan. The fifth world and the third duke, with a prominent background, are the first in the world; Tai Shi Ci, a generation of poor people. Donglai officials, Liaodong rangers. Compared with the two, the latter is simply the clay of the former. If Yuan Tan hadn't been beaten miserably. And this meeting is a request for others, on another occasion, don't say welcome, even if Tai Shici comes to the door to ask for a meeting, Yuan Tan will not show his face.
Even so, after coming down from the battlefield and changing to a diplomatic occasion, this Yuan Da Shao swept away the decline, like a proud rooster, raised his crown, and stood tall.
As a sharp-eyed marksman in the Three Kingdoms, Tai Shi Ci's eyesight is so sharp, Yuan Tan has a lovely smile, and his eyes are contemptuous, and he can see it all. Tai Shi Ci naturally understands the reason, he has seen a lot of this kind of vision, and his psychology has long been calm.
Ma Han once said to him, it's okay, anyway, we're not here to kneel and lick, if the other party can still maintain this expression next, then it can be regarded as a real cow.
After Tai Shi Ci was welcomed into the tent, as soon as his butt touched the table, Guo Tu angrily denounced Tai Shi Ci's despicable behavior of this invasion, and when it came to the excitement, he rushed to the front of the case, pointing fingers, big sleeves flying, and saliva was about to spray on Tai Shi Ci's face.
The servant behind Tai Shici almost drew his sword, but was stopped by the general. Tai Shi Ci wiped his face and smiled bitterly, if he was on the battlefield, he could kill the other party with one finger, but on this occasion, in the face of this Hebei celebrity, he only had to be taught.
Wang Xiu reluctantly gave Tai Shici an apologetic look, although he was also a celebrity, but it was not enough to compare with an old celebrity like Guo Tu, and it was also boring to interject rashly.
It was easy to wait for Guo Tu to be tired of scolding and gasping for breath, Wang Xiucai seized the opportunity to salute Yuan Tan and Guo Tu: "General Anton has arrived according to the agreement, and he has expressed his sincerity. ”
Forward the printed booklet! It turned out that this Plains Meeting was actually to negotiate the remaining half of the Plains County to be peacefully handed over to Tai Shici.
As early as half a month ago, Tai Shici had sent Wang Xiu to the plain to persuade Yuan Tan to withdraw from the plain on his own, so as to avoid the army from attacking, the army and the people from suffering, and finally ending up with both the city and the city. Wang Xiu said very clearly, in the entire Qingzhou, there is only the last plain city left, as the history of Qingzhou, the Taishi envoy must take the plain, and it is meaningless to resist stubbornly.
At the beginning, Yuan Tan resolutely refused to agree, after all, he only had two and a half counties left, and it hurt to give away half of the county! It wasn't until Guo Tu came back that Yuan Tan suddenly changed. It's just because Guo Tu said something to him: "If Jun and Ci refuse to fight in the plains, the soldiers are lost, the armor and arrows are all consumed, and the grain and rice are not continued, Zhenbei (Yuan Shang) may make up for it?" If he can't, he will resist Youyan in the north and reject Qinglai in the east, what can he rely on? In the long run, Zhenbei will always be strong, and Jun will gradually weaken, I am afraid that there will be something unbearable! ”
Yuan Tan woke up suddenly, left the table and thanked him, and then had a meeting with Tai Shi Ci.
Guo Tu scolded just now, just to take the lead and pave the way for the next conditions, he can't play Tai Shici on the battlefield, but this thing of shaking his tongue and puffing out his lips is his strength. Seeing that the heat was almost over, and the other party also made a request, Guo Tu and Yuan Tan exchanged glances, drank a glass of honey water slowly, and then said: "If you want us to give up the plain, you can also wait, but you must have the Taishi make a letter to the king, and send it to Luoyang, and the horse hussar will seal it." There is no other content of the agreement, there is only one article, the Dragon Wolf Army and its subordinate state and county soldiers must not attack the Bohai Sea and the river. ”
Yuan Tan seemed to feel that Guo Tu had missed something, and couldn't help but add a sentence: "At least five years." ”
Wang Xiu closed his mouth and looked at Tai Shici. Yuan Tan and Guo Tu's four eyes also brushed on the resolute face.
It was only at this time that Tai Shici, who had not said any practical words except for etiquette and politeness after entering the camp, said in a light tone without question: "Ci can only say three words, no, can, can!" ”
Yuan Tan's face changed, Guo stood up totemically, and Wang Xiu smiled bitterly.
And what Tai Shici said next. It added fuel to the fire: "Between the Bohai Sea and the river, our army will definitely capture it, and there are no conditions to talk about." ”
Just when Guo Tu rolled up his sleeves, stepped over the desk, and was about to go crazy, Tai Shici suddenly threw out a sentence that pierced Yuan and Guo's hearts: "But our army can exchange with Anping and Qinghe." ”
Yuan Tan's eyes widened, Guo Tu's sleeves were halfway fixed, and he looked at each other, confused for a while. Anping and Qinghe are close to the plain and the river. It is all Jizhou County, that is, Yuan Shang's jurisdiction, what does it have to do with Ma Han? Could it be that the Dragon Wolf Army wants to defeat these two countries and then exchange them? This is too, even they don't believe it.
Tai Shici dipped his fingers in wine, and casually drew a topographic map of the border counties of Qinghai, Hebei, and Youzhou on the desk, and then pointed to the Bohai Sea and the river: "What can the monarch and the master book see?" ”
Yuan and Guo had studied these two counties countless times, and they saw the map drawn by Tai Shici. Comparing it up and down, it suddenly became clear what it meant.
At present, Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili have been connected, even if it is far away in Liaozhou. There are also sea routes, but only Youzhou, which is separated by Jizhou. And the one who isolates it is Bohai County.
The forces are interrupted. It is a big taboo in military affairs, but there is a possibility, and you have to do everything possible to connect the power sections. In this way, the whole situation is alive.
If Yuan Tan and Guo Tu are in the position of Ma Han, they will definitely take down the Bohai Sea to open up the passage between Youzhou and Qingzhou. And the reason of the Hejian country is similar, because the topography of the Bohai Sea is long and narrow, in the shape of a mallet that is long from north to south and short from east to west, especially at the junction with Guangyang County in Youzhou, the width is only thirty or forty miles, and it is very easy to be cut off by the enemy in Hejian. This has formed a corollary, if you want to open up the two states of Qing and You, you must take the Bohai Sea; If you want to protect the Bohai Sea and maintain the passage between the two states, you must seize the river. The two counties are mutually reinforcing, and one is indispensable.
Thinking about this section, Yuan Tan and Guo Tu finally had nothing to say. Yuan Tan's face, which had been raised high before, collapsed, and Guo Tu also clamped his tail. They can't even beat a Tai Shi Ci, plus a Zhao Yun, the east and the north are sandwiched, it's really difficult not to die.
Wang Xiu lost no time in adding a sentence: "This may be the true intention of the princes of Yecheng to hand over these two counties to the envoys." ”
Yuan Tan was silent, and the fist placed on the case clenched loudly.
Guo Tu raised his hand and twisted his beard, rolled his eyes, and said slowly: "What did the envoy say before, Anping and Qinghe?" ”
Tai Shici smiled, drew a topographic map with water, looked at the map and spoke, and talked eloquently: "Anping is below Zhongshan, and the Qinghe River is west of the river." If Zhongshan is not broken, the Xuanwu army will not dare to look south; Having the plains, our Qinglong Army will not cross the river, and use the plains as a buffer for the two armies. In this way, it is not the east of the town for the north of the town as the shield, but the north of the town as the barrier of the east of the town, why not Yuan Jun? ”
Yuan Tan was moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask: "How to take the two countries?" ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "In the spring of tomorrow, our army and the Xuanwu army of Youzhou will jointly attack the river and the Bohai Sea. Yuan Jun can retreat all the way to Anping and Qinghe, and Yuan Zhenbei will not be able to refuse. Yuan Jun's soldiers and horses retreated into the city, and in the name of defending the war, he took over the military and political power of the city. Our army went around the city, all the way to the south to pursue, and after all the soldiers and horses of Yuan Jun dispersed into the cities of the two countries, our army collected the troops and returned. In this way, Yuan Jun has lost the river and the Bohai Sea, but he occupies Anping and Qinghe. How to deal with Yuan Zhenbeidang? ”
This is a typical strategy to lure wolves into the house, but I have to say that it is very tempting for Yuan Tan's current situation. If it is replaced by a brother and a brother, a brother and a brotherhood, this is a slap in the face, but is the Yuan brother? From the beginning of Yuan Shao, a bad example was set, the brothers were incompatible with each other, but fought to the death, so that Cao Cao, who was sandwiched between them, was able to grow stronger and annex the two Yuan.
As the Father is, so is the Son?
Guo Tu narrowed his eyes and looked at Tai Shici: "I don't know who made this strategy?" ”
Tai Shi Ci smiled lightly: "Guo Jun Mingjian, this is dedicated by Jia Junshi. ”
Guo Tu heaved: "Sure enough." Turning his face, his eyes touched Yuan Tan, and they both saw the light in each other's eyes. (To be continued......) R1292
