Chapter 816 Guanzhong upheaval
"Gongsun Du, what do you want to say? I think he's a very decisive and ambitious person. Even if you don't consider the established strategy of northern Xinjiang, when facing several heavyweight opponents at the same time, it cannot be said that it is a wise choice to leave such a person behind. ”
The news of Gongsun Du's arrival in Piaoyujin was transmitted to Jixian County by Taishi Ci Feige at the first time. After getting this good news, Wang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, and talked comfortably about his handling and thinking about Liaodong with the 'child laborer' who got out of many complicated affairs to take a breath.
In fact, there were also differences of opinion within the military about the necessity of the Eastern Crusade. Even if the lord can't tolerate the existence of this independent regime, he can wait for the situation in the Central Plains to be clear, and then turn around and calmly cut it down.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the Eastern Crusade, and the subsequent oppression of Liaodong, can be said to be forcibly promoted by Wang Yu relying on his own prestige.
Now that Gongsun Du came to Jixian County alone to meet Wang Yu, the dust on the Eastern Expedition was basically settled, and Wang Yu was also in the mood to explain.
"Anyway, it's already like this, of course it's the lord, what do you say......" Zhuge Liang said to Wang Yu's Liaodong threat, very disapproving, not only him, but among the Wenchen, there are many dissidents.
In Zhuge Liang's view, the existence of Wuhuan will indeed become an unstable factor in northern Xinjiang, but on the other hand, Gongsun Zhan, Liaodong and Wuhuan, who go out of the fortress or stay in Youzhou, these three forces exist at the same time, which will form a stable structure that contains each other.
Instead of chasing Wuhuan and fighting hard and forcing Liaodong hard, it is better to be generous and get out of northern Xinjiang as soon as possible. It is true that Pingbeice is a very grand plan, but for now, its idealized color is still a little stronger, and it is not only very difficult to do it in one step, but also easy to leave hidden dangers.
Zhuge Liang and a considerable number of Wenchen felt that the top priority now was for Wang Yu to return to Gaotang as soon as possible.
No matter how wonderful Pingbeice is, compared with the Central Plains, the importance of Northern Xinjiang is still much worse. The opponents in the Central Plains and the opponents in the North are also not of the same grade, and the threat is many times higher.
Zhuge Liang didn't mean to argue, but directly reminded him: "Don't forget, my lord, you are good in northern Xinjiang, but others are also doing a good job. According to the analysis of the last letter from the military division, the battle of Guanzhong is almost over......"
During this time, the situation in the Central Plains was also changing rapidly, and Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Lu Su, and Pang Tong were each responsible for the direction of frequent warning signals. It's not that someone is raising troops to invade the territory, but the enemy's strength is growing, and it is not much different from being weakened.
The first is the drastic changes in Guanzhong.
Soon after Jia Xu made it possible for Cao Cao to join forces with Ma Teng, Han Sui and other rebel forces in Xiliang and make a speculation about carving up Guanzhong, it was actually verified.
Stimulated by land and wealth, Ma and Han, who had returned from a heavy defeat, regrouped in just over a month, and pulled out a lineup that was several times larger than the previous attack on Guanzhong, such as Lingqiang, Yaodangqiang, Huangzhongqiang, and Baimaqiang...... The well-known leaders in the Xiliang area all assembled, gathered 200,000 troops, known as a million army, and slaughtered to Chang'an.
In fact, Dong Zhuo's prestige among the people of Xiliangqiang is not lower than that of Ma Teng and Han Sui, but the appeal has always been linked to interests. Dong Zhuo became the prime minister, occupied most of Sili Prefecture, and recruited a lot of people from Xiliang, but he was never able to bring enough benefits to the people of Xiliang.
Before Ma and Han played the banner of the overall eastward expansion of the Xiliang people, the war between them and Dong Zhuo was a dog-eat-dog, and the rebels from all walks of life in Xiliang would not feel anything, nor would they have any tendencies.
But Ma Teng's slogan is amazing, the rebels rebels rebelled because they were poor, but they came and went, but they became poorer, everyone also knew that this was not a way, but they couldn't think of a solution, Ma Teng was equivalent to lighting a bright light this time, how could the rebellion not rush to it?
Dong Zhuo was taken aback.
Even if there was no reminder from Wang Yu, he would have already realized what Cao Cao was thinking, and knew that Ma Teng and Han Sui, two guys with more muscles than brains, were Cao Cao's disguise, so that Lao Cao could engage in some conspiracies and tricks in private, intending to subvert.
But he didn't take it to heart, he had too many dealings with Ma and Han than Cao Cao, when were these two difficult brothers not photographed by him?
Therefore, the first time Ma Teng raised troops to attack, Dong Zhuo didn't bother to take action in person at all, and only transferred one Guo Yan over, and beat Ma Teng all over the ground to find teeth, and the Flying Bear Army firmly controlled the city defense of Chang'an, so that the soldiers in the city were also unflawed.
After solving this crisis, Dong Fatzi once took Wang Yu's letter to publicize it everywhere, and when he met people, he said that Wang Yu underestimated himself, and even Cao Cao and Ma Teng, the two deflated threes, took it so seriously, obviously because the family business was big, and the days were rich, and there was no longer the courage of the past.
Of course, this little episode is harmless, even if Dong Zhuo regains his self-confidence and prepares to avenge the ear-cutting revenge of the year, he must first completely settle Cao Cao and Ma Teng.
As a result, before his excitement passed, Ma Teng made a vigorous comeback.
Dong Zhuo didn't dare to take it lightly this time.
Ma Teng and Han Sui themselves were not to be feared, their rebels lacked food and salaries, were poorly equipped, and had limited soldiers to fight. Although Dong Zhuo has become more and more miserable in recent years, his descendants were originally a very high-status army in the Western Border Army, well-equipped and well-trained.
Back then, if it weren't for Wang Yu's repeated tricks and plots, resulting in two or three percent of the combat power not being brought into play, in front of the strong army under his command, the alliance of princes would not be enough to see at all.
But the Qiang people are different, these people are the head snakes in the west, in the previous rebellions, they are there, in the first year of Zhongping, the rebel leader Beigong Boyu, who took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, is the leader of Huangzhongqiang.
In normal times, the Qiang people were scattered into tribes, and at that time they were not afraid, Dong Zhuo had a way to divide and disintegrate them, and break them down. I'm afraid that these people will join forces, and in that case, the combined forces of Malaysia and South Korea will be greatly replenished in terms of manpower and material resources, and this is the real terrible threat.
Dong Zhuo did not dare to divide the troops this time, but transferred all the elites of the descendant line back to defend Chang'an, leaving only Hu Zhen's miscellaneous army and Duan Xuan's non-descendant troops to guard on the eastern front.
Dong Zhuo knew that the real enemy of life and death was Cao Cao, and both sides had to fight for living space, and the contradictions were irreconcilable. In addition, the other two sides can find a way, and if they want to escape the catastrophe, it is impossible to face three enemies at the same time.
Therefore, for the Chang'an Taxi Party, he tried his best to appease him, patted his chest and made a series of promises, including the release of the Son of Heaven.
On the other hand, Dong Zhuo did not rush to communicate with the Ma and Han coalition forces, but personally commanded the army, fought a few battles with the enemy army, and after shaking the opponent's spirit, he tried to disintegrate the coalition army from the inside by virtue of the good relationship in the past.
Dong Zhuo's troops were once also known as the Xiliang Army, which shows that he is still very well-established in Xiliang, and he also has a deep understanding of the habits of the Qiang people, and the means of dealing with them are extremely targeted.
If nothing else, the Ma and Han coalition forces might have been leveled by him with a soft knife. But Cao Cao has been planning a plan for so long, how can it be light, will Dong Zhuoshun break it one by one smoothly?
Smooth is just an appearance, at the moment when Dong Zhuo thought he had a plan, Cao Cao exerted his strength, he reversed Duan Xuan, and the inside and outside should be combined, and he completely annihilated Hu Zhen in one fell swoop. Then he rushed forward, with lightning speed, broke through Shaanxi County, Hongnong, and Tongguan, drove straight in, and reached the city of Chang'an, forming a flanking attack with the main force of Dong Zhuo with the Ma and Han coalition forces.
Dong Zhuo was caught off guard, where could he respond? On the other hand, the morale of the Maham-Korean coalition army, which had already been shaken, skyrocketed, and the leaders and marshals who had private connections with Dong Zhuo expressed their fighting spirit by beheading and destroying books, and Dong Zhuojun fell into death at once.
The last letter sent by Jia Xu ended here, but calculating the time, Dong Zhuo, who had lost all his strategic depth and non-descendant troops, was almost finished. Cao Cao had been preparing for such a long time, how could he just rebel against Duan Xuan? Maybe someone will open the gate of Chang'an City directly.
"If Dong Zhuo is solved, Cao Cao will inevitably ignite a war in the land of Jingxiang, Liu Biao is just a false appearance, does the lord still expect him to drag Cao and Sun? Even if Liu Biao has the heart to fight to the death in order to keep the foundation, and the local power in Jingxiang is huge, in peacetime, it is not difficult for Liu Biao to suppress it with the technique of power and strategy, but when the soldiers are in the city, who can guarantee that they will not sacrifice Jingzhou to protect their families? ”
Zhuge Liang looked solemn and analyzed in a deep voice: "Liang thinks that the Jingxiang War may end earlier than imagined, maybe before the autumn...... The lord insists on solving the problem of Liaodong now, and at least he will sit in Youzhou until next year, so that the initiative to compete for the Central Plains may change hands. ”
When he first heard about Wang Yuping's northern policy, Zhuge Liang was also overjoyed, feeling that this policy was a long-term policy and should be implemented as soon as possible. But the situation in the Central Plains is changing too fast, who would have thought that Dong Zhuojun, who once resisted the heroes alone and was invincible, would turn from prosperity to decline in such a short period of time and be destroyed in an instant?
The threat of Cao Cao and Sun Ce may not be urgent, the most urgent is the rebel forces of Xiliang.
Intelligence shows that at present, Cao Cao's army has completely withdrawn from Hedong, and it is obvious that the alliance agreement with the Yellow River as the boundary will be implemented. With the desire for land and wealth of the rebel forces in the west of Liang, they may sweep through Hedong and even Merge Prefecture in a very short period of time, and push the battle line directly to Taihang Mountain!
Rao is Zhuge Liang has received a good family education since he was a child, and he has a very good city government bearing, but every time he thinks of the rapidly changing situation in the Central Plains, he feels palpitations, but the lord turns a blind eye to this, not only does not cancel the Eastern Expedition plan in advance, but also is complacent about leveling the small forces in Liaodong.
Is...... It's speechless. Zhuge Liang wondered, when did the lord's eyelids become so shallow?
"Kong Ming, you are good at everything, but this temper has to be changed, you are not in a hurry when you should be in a hurry, and you are in a hurry when you should not be in a hurry," Zhuge Liang was so anxious that he was angry, but Wang Yu didn't care, he joked about Secretary General Zhuge and said leisurely: "Liaodong and Gongsun Shengji are not as inconsequential as you imagined, harmless to humans and animals......
