Chapter Seventy-One: The Soldiers Are Divided into Three Paths
After the shock, Tao Qian persuaded a few more words, of course he couldn't persuade Wang Yu, who had made up his mind, but was gradually persuaded by Wang Yu, and in the end, the old man could only leave abruptly, but he was not without hope in his heart.
If a miracle is repeated, then the Han Dynasty will really have the hope of resurrection, of course, this is difficult, whether it is the cause or the consequence.
Looking at Lao Tao Qian's somewhat stumbling back, Wang Yu's thoughts fluctuated.
When he first came to your realm, everything had a dreamlike and unreal feeling, the era in front of him had nothing to do with him, he could enjoy the joy of fighting to the fullest, and planned to compete for the world.
It's like playing a game with a high degree of simulation, yes, it's the Three Kingdoms game.
Fighting, winning, and fighting again, it seemed that he was infected by the three-way atmosphere of Qi Chapter 71 when he first crossed over, and for two months, he kept repeating the similar process and enjoying the joy in the process.
However, with frequent contact with Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian and others, and when I felt the side of these people hidden behind the dramatized faces, the world suddenly became flesh and blood.
As a result, a major question came to his mind-
Luoyang!
The burning of Luoyang, in the game or novel, is just a cutscene, representing the destruction of the Western Liang Army, and at the same time, the princes completely tore off the mask of warmth and began to attack each other.
This incident is a sign of the complete decline of the Han Dynasty and the official arrival of the troubled times!
But hidden under the surface is the bitter blood and tears of hundreds of thousands of people!
As Tao Qian said, the Xiliang Army was brutal and paved under the road of forcibly moving the capital, and as the foundation, it could only be countless corpses; On the banks of the great river, there may be an additional parallel river, which is the blood of many innocent people.
This is not Wang Yu's responsibility, but the inertia of history, which is inevitably what will happen under the promotion of countless people, intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Wang Yu felt that since he came, he always had to do something. Chapter Seventy-One: The Soldiers Are Divided into Three Ways
The strategy of moving troops to Nanyang can stabilize the crumbling alliance, so that Dong Zhuo does not dare to swagger and forcibly move, but that's all. The distance from Xingyang to Nanyang is actually not too far, but the team with heavy baggage is far from as fast as imagined.
Wang Yu fixed the time, he didn't take this into account, since the crossing, when he marched, he had followed the cavalry, and the miscellaneous tasks such as transporting baggage were all handed over to Fang Yue, the old soldier, and he didn't worry about it at all.
He felt that it was very simple to go around hundreds of miles to Nanyang, but after really understanding it, he knew that it would take more than a month to walk these hundreds of miles.
Or is the game mentality at work!
In the final analysis, although he has military literacy, his knowledge is from later generations, and he can be in line with this era quite limited.
The plan has been put on the agenda, it is too late to change it, if it is not changed, Wang Yu will not be able to attack Luoyang alone, it is unscientific to risk the lives of the whole army and use another tragedy to prevent a tragedy.
He decided to infiltrate Luoyang and try to subvert the fortress of the Xiliang Army from within.
If you can succeed, you will not only save Luoyang, but also have a lot of benefits; If you can't do anything, you won't be reluctant, go to Nanyang and join the team, and raise troops to fight again.
The deep-seated reasons are not easy to explain to Tao Qian, but just those on the surface are already very convincing, anyway, this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, once he is born and twice cooked, why can't he do it?
Nothing was said all night.
Starting early the next morning, Wang Yu had no time to spare, first of all, he had to receive the two thousand Danyang soldiers.
The military system of the Han Dynasty, five departments for a battalion, the battalion officers are generally generals or captains, although Tao Qian's two thousand soldiers are newly recruited, but the rules are set very carefully, and the military system is also very strict.
Although the old man always claimed to be mediocre and incompetent, from these details, Wang Yu was very sure that Tao Qian's ability was far above what he said or what he wrote in the novel.
The captain of the unified army was chubby, a group of kind, not like an officer at all, more like a businessman, seeing this person, Wang Yu even missed Jia Xu.
Because he was worried about the destructive power of Yuan Shu, Wang Yu left Jia Xu in the sour jujube, although the fat man has always been unable to work, but at the critical moment, he can play a role to some extent.
The name of this captain is also very strange, it is actually called Gong Aotian, Wang Yu was very surprised when he heard this person sign up, and even had some doubts, will the other party also be a traverser? Otherwise, how could you have such a bad name?
"General Pengju, subordinate...... Oh, is there anything wrong with the last general? Being stared at by Wang Yu with a thief-like gaze, the smile on the face of the palace captain was a little stiff.
Wang Yu asked coldly, "Captain Gong, what did you do before?" â
"Huh?" Gong Aotian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "In the past, I was just doing some small business or something......
"What kind of deal?" Wang Yu asked.
Gong Aotian was asked by Wang Yu so that his scalp tightened, but he answered very fluently: "Cloth, silk, oil wax, lacquer ......"
At first, Wang Yu was a little suspicious that the other party was a traverser, so he asked a few questions, but after saying a few words, he keenly found that the other party seemed to be hiding something. Although this person himself is nothing, his position is very important, and if there is something wrong, his judgment of Tao Qian is likely to be problematic.
Gong Aotian did hide something, and wanted to be vague in the past, but Wang Yu's forced gaze was so easy to be vague? He couldn't be forced, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "When my subordinates were young, they were ignorant, and they couldn't stand being poor, and I heard that selling salt was profitable, so ...... Tao Yuanjun reorganized the army this time, and wanted to find someone who was good at dealing with people and was a little more tactful to lead the army, so I ......"
âĻâĻ It turned out to be a salt seller.
Wang Yu understood why the other party was squeaking and prevaricating, and he was already a little out of business to be on the table, not to mention that he was still a smuggler. The monopoly of salt and iron, the power to be returned to the imperial court, seems to have started from the Han Dynasty, I remember that there is a very famous salt and iron theory, which was written in the Western Han Dynasty.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Yu also had a deeper understanding of Tao Qian's good intentions.
Lao Tao didn't deceive people, he brought these two thousand soldiers and horses, and he planned to give them away. Originally, his intended goal was to be a famous general Zhu Jun, but he didn't know if he hadn't been contacted yet, or if he found himself better, in short, Lao Tao changed his mind.
The use of a salt dealer who was not from a good background and who was good at dealing with people as a camp official was obviously to facilitate the transfer of power. This lieutenant has eyes and a sense of style, even if he does evil, at most he embezzles some military salaries, and does not pose any threat to his own military power.
As Wang Yu expected, the reception went smoothly.
During the Three Kingdoms era, the warlords fought a civil war, especially when the troubled times first began, except for the Yellow Turban Army and Hu Lu, there was no unforgettable hatred among the others, and ordinary soldiers only regarded being a soldier as a profession.
Danyang soldiers are good at fighting, famous all over the world, there are many princes who recruit troops in Danyang, Tao Qian just took advantage of the building near the water, and he is more famous. Under the command of other princes, there are also many Danyang pawns, such as Sun Jian's old team, who was also recruited from Danyang, and Cao Cao's fierce general Xiahoudun is also in Danyang now.
For a change of one
The main family, the Danyang soldiers have no opinion at all, they have seen Wang Yu's bravery, and they eat the same food wherever they are soldiers, but following an invincible general is obviously better than following a bad race.
So, when Tao Qian took Wang Yu to the barracks to announce the news, he only responded with enthusiastic cheers.
Lao Tao Qian smiled with relief, Gongsun Zhan, who was watching the ceremony, was also smiling, and the palace captain, who was about to face the crisis of being laid off, was not dissatisfied.
Anyway, someone in the palace is not interested in fighting, but the new military position entrusted to him by Wang Yu has the right appetite, is there any more suitable position for him as a salt dealer than the position of military officer?
Everyone is happy, the entire Tiger Prison Pass, the only one who is unhappy with this is Liu Bei.
He was envious, but he was helpless. Not to mention whether Tao Qian can look down on him, even if he really hits the luck, he can't afford to raise so many soldiers.
Unlike the county soldiers, the Danyang soldiers were recruited, and Wang Yu's Taishan soldiers were of the same nature, not only to eat food, but also to get military salaries, and they were also heavily paid! Without some family background, it is impossible to keep this army of soldiers and horses.
Wang Yu is rich, even if he doesn't consider the net worth of the Wang family, the money he brought from Hanoi is enough to create a prince, if he hadn't swept away such a large amount of money and grain, Yuan Shao might not have turned his face so quickly, and he turned it so resolutely!
A few days later, Wang Kuang also came to meet, accompanied by the high-spirited Yuan Shu and Kong Ling, who was full of spring breeze.
I don't know if it's because of the same temperament, or if it's in a good mood after getting what I want, Kong Ling and Yuan Shu get along quite well, and when he saw Wang Yu, Gongsun Chan and others, he actually nodded, not only did not say anything mean, but praised Wang Yu a few words of encouragement.
Although his tone was high-minded, making people sound uncomfortable, but if he took into account his words and deeds in sour dates, Wang Yu was convinced that this was already a highly praised performance of the history of the stabbing system, and no matter how extravagant he was, he would not be satisfied.
It's good to say hello to Yuan Shu and Kong Ling, the arrival of Yu Ban and Jia Xu's henchmen is what Wang Yu is most concerned about. After settling down a little, he handed over the handover of the pass and other trivial matters to Gongsun Zan Taoqian, and he gathered a group of henchmen for a secret discussion.
"Lord, this is too risky, isn't it? It's not like it was now, you don't have to ......"
Wang Yu's plan is always so amazing, this time, even the calm Yu Ban couldn't help but directly speak out against it, Fang Yue, who was already in a hurry, jumped even higher, if Wang Yu hadn't covered his mouth in time, maybe he would have yelled out directly.
The only one who can still sit in the same place is Jia Xu, an old fox. But Rao was sitting firmly on Mount Tai, and the flash of light in his eyes still exposed the shock in his heart.
"I have repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and once the decision has been made, you should not express your opinion on the necessity of this matter." Wang Yu didn't have the heart to explain this, if he wanted to achieve extraordinary goals, he naturally had to take unusual risks, where would the benefits come from without risks?
Yu Ban stopped talking, his style is like this, the execution of orders is the first priority, unless it is an obvious disorder, he will not express his objections. However, in Wang Yu, there are too many unreasonable things, and he can't tell what is chaotic for a while.
Of course, Jia Xu has no habit of raising objections, unless it involves his own safety, he will not do such a thing that offends the leader. In history, after he took refuge in Cao Wei, he did just that.
After the initial shock, the fat man fell into deep thought, and looking at his expression, Wang Yu was also puzzled, not knowing what the old fox could guess.
Fang Yue had the intention to stop it, but the two more capable people didn't speak, and he was also lonely, so he simply proposed: "In this case, lord, you can't take risks alone, someone has to answer and help, I'll go with you!" â
This proposal is very Fang Yue's style, but Wang Yu vetoed it without thinking about it: "The manpower is to be brought, but you can't do it." â
"Why?" Fang Yue was anxious and shouted, "Why can't I? In martial arts, although I am not as good as the red-faced and black-faced ones, but those two are not our own people? They all listened to the white-faced one, and although the white-faced man spoke kindly, there were many twists and turns in his stomach, and he was not a good person at first glance! â
Wang Yu was stunned by him.
During this time, he borrowed too much power from Guan Zhang, but he ignored the emotions of his subordinates a little, but there was no way, although Fang Yue's martial arts were not bad, but against the fierce people like Lu Bu and Yan Liang, it was not enough, and it was really not good without the help of Guan Zhang's power.
However, from Fang Yue's view of Liu Bei, Wang Yu has a comprehension, in today's world, Liu Bei's set is not very feasible, at least for now, in troubled times, there are still brave people, and they are more respected.
There is one more necessary reason for his own plan.
Wang Yuwen said: "General Fang, this time the troops are moved to Nanyang, and the county soldiers will also follow, how can you do it if you are not there?" â
"Isn't there a rule?" Fang Yue pointed at Yu Ban, "Wen Ze's ability to train soldiers is much stronger than me, with him, where can I still be used?" I'd better be with you. â
"Wen has another task." The reason why Wang Yu dared to leave with confidence was because of the ban.
If you want to completely condense the Danyang soldiers, the county soldiers who have taken refuge in you, and the Taishan soldiers into one force, you naturally have to ban this training master. And Yu Ban's experience is still small, three thousand people are probably already the limit, plus thousands of county soldiers, it will be too troublesome, or use the county soldiers as auxiliaries.
"I won't bring too many people, just about twenty, just ......"
Jia Xu suddenly interjected: "General, why don't you choose ten people from each of the Taishan soldiers and the county soldiers." â
"Oh?" Wang Yu originally wanted to select all the soldiers from the county, and the Taishan soldiers spoke with an accent, which was easy to be recognized.
Jia Xu smiled slightly: "Ten people are in the light, ten people are in the dark, it's easy to echo, as for the accent or something, general, you saved the lives of those five, and Zhi Jinwu is even more related to you, it should be very reliable, using them as a cover is much safer than you sneaking in alone." â
"Hmm." Wang Yu's eyes lit up, "It's not Mr. Remind me, Yu almost forgot that those five are in the middle of the Guanzhong, just ...... Mr. Wenhe, you are really my ovary. â
"I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it, the general is bold and strategic, the plan is far-reaching, how dare he bow to the advantage, how dare he call himself resourceful?" The corners of Jia Xu's mouth moved, revealing a meaningful smile.
"I can't hide it from Mr." Wang Yu pointed at Jia Xu, and was extremely amazed in his heart: this old fox is becoming more and more demonic, and the plan he has been thinking about for so long, such an unbelievable purpose, he can see through it at a glance.
However, it's okay like this, I'm already my own person anyway, and I can't run away, the more I want it, the better! I should be glad that if I hadn't gotten Jia Xu to my side by mistake and replaced him with him, what a terrible thing it would be!
Wang Yu stroked his palms and smiled: "Mr. Wenhe, don't be too modest, the so-called capable people work hard, originally Yu was worried about how to hide from his father, but now it seems that with Mr. here, Yu has no worries." â
After that, no longer bothering with the fat man with a bitter face, Wang Yu stood up proudly and waved his hand heavily: "That's it, when the handover is completed tomorrow, the troops will be divided into three ways and set off immediately!" â
"Whoa!"
