Chapter 238: Pulling Yuan Shu into the water
Cheng Yu's mind turned, and he instantly understood, and said in a lost voice: "In this way, Dong Zhuo's old thief wants to follow the example of the battle in the first year of Chuping, and attack the hinterland of the Central Plains with elite cavalry, so as to force the princes of Qinwang from all walks of life to return from the tiger prison and retreat?" ”
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Eight or nine is not far from ten, the old thief is really a thief!" ”
Cheng Yu paused and said: "It's bad now, right now the princes' armies are all outside the Tiger Prison Pass, if Dong Zhuo's old tricks are repeated and the princes' hinterland is attacked, it is very likely that the troops will be withdrawn from the Tiger Prison Pass, and the lord can't help but guard against it!" ”
Cao Cao said in a condensed voice: "Yes, this matter cannot be guarded against. ”
Cheng Yu said: "If you can know where Dong Zhuo will send troops from, it would be good to bury an ambush in advance." ”
Cao Cao paced back and forth a few steps, and said: "At present, the army of Hujiao Pass is assembled, and Wuguan also has Liu Biao's 20,000 army. ”
Cheng Yu struck the knot and said: "What the lord said is very true, and he also thinks so below, Sun Jian and Yuan Shubu will join forces to attack Dagu Pass and be repulsed, and the land of Yingchuan is a flat river, Dong Zhuo can only be surprised by passing through Dagu Pass and going south out of Xuanyuan Pass." However, Yuzhou is Yuan Shu's territory, and Yuan Shu wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so he can take advantage of it! ”
Cao Cao's little eyes flashed with a touch of cunning, and said: "What Zhong De said is extremely true, Yuan Highway has no eyes, he can't see the current situation clearly, and he doesn't want to waste soldiers, horses, money and food in vain, but he doesn't know that if Dong Zhuo sits big, he will be the first to suffer." No, if Dong Zhuo really sent troops to the Central Plains, he could take the opportunity to pull Yuan Shu into the water, it was really a rare opportunity! ”
Cheng Yu nodded again and again, thought about it at the moment, and went separately to prepare.
Meanwhile. Yuan Shao's big tent.
It was late at night, and Yuan Shao was getting ready to go to bed. But a pro-soldier came to report, and Tian Feng asked to see him.
"This Tian Feng. It really doesn't stop for a moment! ”
Yuan Shao was a little unhappy, and he was even more emotional, if he wanted to be a master, it was really not easy!
It's just during the day, even at night, and even a sleep has to be disturbed by his subordinates.
But there is no way, if you want to be a wise lord, this is the price you must pay.
Yuan Shao was helpless, just put on a light robe. Come out to see Tian Feng.
"Lord!"
Tian Feng was waiting in the outer tent in the morning, and when he saw Yuan Shao coming out, he hurriedly gave his hand to give a salute.
"Yuan Hao is exempt!"
Yuan Shao waved his hand, sat down on his head, yawned and asked, "Yuan Hao asked to see him late at night, is there something important?" ”
Tian Feng said in a condensed voice: "Lord, our army has found a piece of news in Luoyang. ”
Yuan Shao suddenly perked up and asked, "What news?" ”
Tian Feng said: "According to the detailed report, there are cavalry in Luoyang gathering recently!" ”
"There are cavalry assembled in Luoyang?"
Yuan Shao's face was full of doubts. puzzled: "What is Dong Zhuo old thief doing?" ”
Tian Feng's face turned solemn, and he said, "Lord, Dong Zhuo's old thief is trying to do it for a reason!" ”
"Re-acting?"
Yuan Shao said puzzledly: "He also! ”
Tian Feng said: "In the past, the princes of the Eighteenth Road begged for Dong, and the old thief sent 8,000 cavalry out of Wuguan to plunder the land of Kanto. The princes who were forced to retreat from the Tiger Prison Pass. Dong Zhuo's old thief wants to repeat his old tricks, and then punish the elite cavalry to kill in the Central Plains! ”
"I see!"
Yuan Shao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring. Immediately, his brows furrowed deeply, and he said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhuo's old thief is really a thief. In this way, it will be difficult for the coalition forces to join forces to attack the Tiger Pass! ”
Tian Feng said: "The lord doesn't have to worry. Think about it below! ”
Yuan Shao said happily: "Yuan Hao, what is the best plan, come quickly!" ”
Tian Feng said: "I thought that if Dong Zhuo really wanted to send the cavalry to the eastern part of the country, he would go out of the Xuanyuan Pass through the Dagu Pass and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains from Yingchuan. ”
Yuan Shao frowned and said, "How can Yuan Hao be sure that Dong Zhuo will send troops from Yingchuan?" ”
Tian Feng said: "My lord, please think about it, at present, the army of Hujiao Pass is gathered, and there is also Liu Biao's army in Wuguan, and neither road is passable." If Dong Zhuo wants to punish the cavalry for plundering Guanzhong, he must be surprised, so the only way to go through Xuanyuan Pass is to go to Yingchuan! ”
Yuan Shao pondered for a long time before he nodded, "Yes, Yuan Hao's analysis makes sense!" ”
Tian Feng said again: "If General Yuan Highway can intercept the Xiliang cavalry, even if he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, it will be impossible. ”
Yuan Shao nodded again and again, greatly satisfied with Tian Feng's plan.
I think that Yuan Shao wanted to support Liu Yu as the emperor, and wanted to pull Yuan Shu as his arm.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu refused without thinking about it, and the two brothers had a conflict since then, and Yuan Shao was naturally very unhappy with Yuan Shu.
was already very dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's straw bale brother, and if he could pull Yuan Shu into the water, it would naturally be the best.
Qian County, Yuan Shu's official residence.
The candles in the hall are shaking, singing and dancing, and the music is beautiful.
The dancing girl who was only wearing a thin layer of light veil showed her rich and seductive figure to the fullest, and the beauty loomed, and the eyes of the men were blazing, and their eyes almost wanted to peel off the thin layer of light veil, so that they could feast their eyes.
Yuan Shu frequently persuaded him to drink, but he felt that life was happy, and there was nothing more than this.
Just as he was drunk, the strategist Jin Shang went out, and soon returned to Yuan Shu's side and whispered a few times in his ear.
"What?"
Yuan Shu was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and went to the back hall.
Jin Shang glanced at the bureaucrats who were already half drunk, and hurriedly followed.
Back hall, side hall.
Yuan Shu's face was solemn and said: "Dong Zhuo wants to set up troops to loot Yuzhou, is this matter true or false?" ”
Jin Shangdao: "General Yuan Shao and Cao Cao scolded people to sue, and I don't know if it's true or not!" ”
Yuan Shu said: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao said that there are cavalry assembling in Luoyang, is this true or false?" ”
Jin Shang replied: "According to the detailed report, there are indeed cavalry assembling in Luoyang recently. ”
"Dong Zhuo Pifu!"
Yuan Shu suddenly said angrily: "If General Ben doesn't go to him for trouble, this guy should burn high incense, and now he dares to touch General Ben's moldy head, how can this be reasonable, how can it be unreasonable." General Ben will not give up! ”
Jin Shang glanced at Yuan Shu and said cautiously: "Lord." Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others have been storming the Tiger Prison for several months, and I am afraid they have no good intentions. An Zhi This is not Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who want to pull the lord into the water and fight with Dong Zhuo! ”
"Hmm, what Yuan Xiu said is extremely true!"
Yuan Shu was not stupid, he was immediately awe-inspiring when he heard this, and said: "So, Dong Zhuo won't send troops to loot Yuzhou?" ”
"This ......"
Jin Shang hesitated, but he didn't dare to pack the ticket.
Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Why is Yuan Xiu hesitating, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Jin Shang muttered: "Although Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are most likely ill-intentioned, there are indeed cavalry in Luoyang gathering. In the first year of the first year of the early peace, the coalition army raised troops to fight against Dong. Dong Zhuo once sent the cavalry into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the princes who were forced to retreat from the Tiger Prison Pass, and now the princes Qinwang's army is storming the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo may not be able to repeat the old tricks and punish the cavalry to kill into the Central Plains! ”
Yuan Shu's face was cloudy, and he paced around the hall irritably.
Jin Shang didn't say much, waiting on the side for Yuan Shu to decide.
Yuan Shu paced for a while before pausing and asked, "If Dong Zhuo wants to send troops, will he really go to Yingchuan?" ”
Jin Shangdao: "Today, the army of Tiger Prison Pass is gathered. Wuguan also has Liu Biao's army, and if Dong Zhuo really sends troops to plunder the Central Plains, he must be surprised, otherwise he will be blocked by the army of the princes. Therefore, the only way to go out of Xuanyuan Pass is to go to Yingchuan. ”
Yuan Shu hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind, shouting: "Quickly summon all the generals to come to discuss the matter!" ”
"Yes!"
Jin Shang agreed. Immediately turn and leave.
Longxian, General Pingdi's Mansion.
Xu Chu hurried into the study. He bowed his hand to Luo Zheng, who was flipping through the bamboo slips, and said, "Lord, Mr. Xun Yu has arrived." ”
"Oh. Wen Ruo arrived? ”
Luo Zheng perked up, got up and said, "Let's go, go and see!" ”
Xu Chu hurriedly stepped aside, and only after Luo Zheng went out did he hurriedly follow up.
Partial hall.
"I've seen the lord!"
Xun Yu was drinking tea, heard footsteps, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Luo Zheng striding over, and hurriedly got up to give a salute.
"Wen Ruo is exempt!"
Luo Zheng waved his hand, stepped forward and looked at Xun Yu carefully a few times, before he said happily: "Seeing that Wen Ruo is in good spirits and has a red face, General Ben is relieved." Come, sit down and speak! ”
After that, he shook off his sleeve robe and sat down freely.
Xun Yu also sat sideways and said with a smile: "Everything is smooth, Yu is young and strong, and his spirit is naturally strong." ”
Luo Zheng asked, "How is the autumn grain harvest?" ”
Xun Yu was in good spirits and said: "In the autumn, the counties of Jincheng have a bumper harvest, the people and the Qianghu tribes have stored grain, at least there is no need to starve anymore, and the lord has a large reduction and exemption of taxes, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing, so that the people can be encouraged to raise livestock and hemp weaving, and after a few years, the materials under the rule of the lord can be greatly enriched, and there is no need to worry about money and food!" ”
Luo Zheng nodded again and again when he listened, and said: "This is all thanks to Wen Ruo's merits, with Wen Ruo presiding over internal affairs, this general will have the strength to deal with the continuous campaign, otherwise with the foundation of Liangzhou, this general will not even be able to feed the stomachs of the people, where is there still extra strength to use troops abroad, Lu Bu and Ma Teng are living examples, they are all dragged down by money and food!" ”
Xun Yu humbly said a few times, and said: "Although the autumn grain has been harvested, because the lord has reduced the taxes of the people, there is not much military food that our army can collect this year. Although because the lord brought back a large amount of money and silver from the Central Plains, the soldiers had sufficient money, but if the grain is expensive today, Guanzhong and Sili were troubled by Dong Zhuo, and there is no grain to sell, so they can't buy grain at all, and the grain brought by the lord from the Central Plains can be eaten by the army until the spring of next year. Even if you add that tens of thousands of stone of military rations can be collected this year, you can only barely eat until next year's autumn grain. If there are only two counties of Jincheng and Wuwei under the rule of the lord, it will naturally not be a problem, but now the lord is about to pacify Liangzhou, Hanyang, Longxi, Wudu, Beidi, Anding and other counties have been in war for many years, the people have been displaced, there are a large number of displaced people to resettle, and the lord has collected tens of thousands of soldiers, and the grain and grass are still stretched, so you have to find another way! ”
Luo Zheng suddenly had two big heads, patted his forehead and said: "General Ben just breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Ruo threw out this problem again, grain and grass, grain and grass, this thing has to rely on the people to grow it, how can General Ben have any good way!" ”
Xun Yu smiled and said: "The lord doesn't have to worry about this, the current situation of our army is much better than when the lord first entered Liangzhou." And the lord broke Hugh and slaughtered each Hu, and captured the cattle and sheep, and the money and grain were not counted, and they could all be used as rations. The three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang have not been at war in recent years, and there is quite a lot of grain in the treasury. ”
Luo Zheng nodded again and again: "That's it, if Wen doesn't say it, General Ben will almost forget it." ”
Xun Yu said again: "I heard that the lord asked Elfang to form a caravan and go to the Central Plains and Xichuan to traffic Liangzhou leather goods. ”
Luo Zheng said 'um' and said: "This is also what General Ben planned, so he asked Elfang to form a caravan, this Elk brother has no other skills, and he is very good at business, so it is a waste to let such talents go." Under the rule of this general, there are many leather goods, but there is a shortage of salt, iron, grain and grass, if Elfang can get food for this general, he can be regarded as making the best use of his talents. ”
After a pause, he asked again, "What about Jinmi, how much can you harvest this year?" ”
Xun Yu said: "The golden rice season is much later than the wheat season, and it can't be planted until October. However, Yu has seen a few times, last year has been and in the middle of a crop of gold rice of the 30 hectares of the field is better, it is estimated that the yield will be slightly higher than last year, the remaining 1,400 hectares of field because of the planting of the first crop, the yield can be roughly the same as last year, the yield should be about 700,000 stones.
