Chapter 829 It's hard to take care of everything
The plan has been decided, and Wang Yu will not discuss too much with Chen Lin, but just send the latter to draft a charter first, and if there is no problem, let him go back first to prepare for it.
After all, the Son of Heaven is just a small episode, and the real threat still comes from the princes.
After taking Guanzhong, Cao Cao surrendered and rebelled, and his strength increased dramatically, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not suffer a loss, they were not much interested in the rest of Dong Zhuo, they valued more practical things.
Of course, Cao Cao knew the needs of his allies, and he didn't twist it at all, and generously gave the Meiwu where Dong Zhuo had hoarded money and grain to Ma and Han, and the latter moved out a large amount of gold silk grain from it, and hundreds of thousands of Qianghu suddenly thundered with joy.
Cao Cao did this not only because of generosity, but also because of the meaning of bringing disaster to the east.
Although there are many soldiers and horses in Xiliang, the power of a large range is almost zero, because they have no savings. There is no grain and grass on the road, and it can be solved on the spot, but these Qianghu came all the way to lay down Chang'an, if there is no actual benefit at all, I am afraid that they will be scattered in a hurry early the next morning.
Although Dong Zhuo's savings are a lot, it is really nothing to give hundreds of thousands of people, but these things are put together at the same time, and the visual effect is still quite amazing.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were both veteran rebel generals, and they had special experience in commanding rabble, and taking advantage of this festive energy, they directly announced the next combat goal -- merging states.
The two of them tried their best to bewitch and said what is Dong Zhuo? However, a local tyrant in Xiliang is just a local tyrant, in terms of wealth, how can he be compared with Yuan Valve of the House of the Third Duke and the Fourth Emperor? Yuan Shao was defeated in Hebei at the beginning, but his family was still there, and he was moved to Bingzhou by his son and son-in-law. Lay down and merge states. The things that were grabbed were still the same, and the leader would never keep them privately. Take it all out and divide it!
At this moment, the morale of the rebels was bursting. One by one, they were blushing and thick-necked, screaming, going to Bingzhou to fight local tyrants and eat big households.
Ma Teng lost no time in adding, he introduced Qingzhou again, and told the rebels that Qingzhou is the richest in the world now. Tea and wine are used to quench their thirst, even from poor families. You can also eat three meals a day.
Hearing this, the rebels' eyes turned green.
Tea, most people have never seen it, let alone drunk it, only a few experienced and well-informed people have heard of it, this is a royal drink, and when you hear it, you know that it is a great good thing.
Needless to say, wine is a good thing that everyone loves. It's a pity that wine has to be brewed with grain, and it is also a rare luxury for the Xiliang people who can't eat enough.
Being able to eat three meals in Xiliang is the privilege of a large family, if not everyone is hungry. Back then, Jia Xu was not so easy to deceive people by virtue of his size. It is precisely because they can't eat enough that fat people are precious.
was so instigated by Ma Teng, and the rebels were like a rainbow. Against the sky, he was ready to go on the expedition in three days. Ma and Han went to see Cao Cao and asked the latter to provide grain and grass for the uprooting.
on this. Cao Cao was happy to see it, so although it hurt. Or squeezed out millions of grains and grass from the rather tight military supplies for the Xiliang army.
The grain and grass are complete, the goal is clear, the Xiliang rebels and the Qiang-Hu coalition army have a total of more than 300,000, known as one million, and they marched north and east in a mighty way, killing Bingzhou.
The eastward marching army was led by Ma Teng, and after leaving Chang'an, it headed east through Xinfeng and Zhengxian, then turned northward in Huayin, and finally crossed the Yellow River at Pubanjin and entered the territory of Hedong. After entering Hedong, he accepted the new territory on the one hand, went north on the other, and finally attacked Taiyuan and Shangdang along the Fenshui.
The army marching north was led by Han Sui, swept through Zuo Fengyi and several counties in Beidi, attacked Shangjun in Bingzhou, and then swept east and north at the same time, sweeping Shuofang, Xihe, Yunzhong, and Wuyuan counties, and finally joined forces with Ma Teng's army in Taiyuan and Yanmen to further peep into Jizhou.
The Xiliang Army's expedition plan is also a military secret, of course, it will not be known to everyone, but the scale of the 300,000 army is too large, and Ma and Han have exhausted their mental strength just to ensure that they lead the army in the right direction, where can they take care of anything else?
Therefore, the information about the Xiliang Army in Wang Yu's hands is very detailed, except that there is no timetable, everything else is available. But the timetable is something that I am afraid that even Ma Teng and Han Sui themselves can't determine, and only the old man knows it.
On the other hand, Cao Cao was much more low-key, although his strength skyrocketed, he did not rush to launch the next military action, but integrated the troops on the one hand, and frequently engaged in diplomatic activities on the other.
First of all, he sent Wuguan with the intention of appeasing Niu Fu and Li Ru. At the same time, he also sent people south to Xiangyang to ask Liu Biao if he needed him to mediate the Jingxiang war.
Now, the dust has settled in Guanzhong and Northern Xinjiang, but Jingxiang is in the midst of war.
Although Qingzhou has speculated the general situation of the three divisions through various signs, it has always been Sun Ce who really attacked Jingzhou. Sun Ce is not really impulsive and brainless, he only knows how to move forward, he just can't help it, Jingzhou is the only expansion direction in Jiangdong, if he doesn't fight Jingzhou, he can only fight Yuan Shu.
Although Yuan Shu is not very powerful, he has also made a lot of noise in the northern part of Jiangxia and the eastern part of Nanyang, and has restrained the 5,000 soldiers and horses hired by the general of Jingzhou.
Now that Huang Zu has been defeated repeatedly, he is no longer able to fight head-on, so he can only retreat into the city, and with the city defense, as long as he puts more effort, he can take Jiangxia. If Jiangxia falls, the gateway to Jingzhou will be opened, and the Jiangdong naval army can directly threaten Nanjun, and then cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Jingnan, and encroach one by one.
In this case, Cao Cao's desire to surrender without a fight is actually not too extravagant. Maybe Liu Biao felt that it was better to succumb to him than to cheapen the son of the enemy or the hated Yuan Shu?
If things really evolve like this, Wang Yu can only sigh, Cao Cao is a protagonist-level figure with luck after all. After the setback, luck can't stop coming over.
Jia Xu obviously doesn't like to see such a scene, so in the past few months, the fat man has not been idle, although he has not mobilized troops and horses, but he has also actively mobilized the spy force in his hands, on the one hand to create obstacles for Cao Cao, and on the other hand, to enhance his own strength.
During the Eastern Crusade, Jia Xu arranged a meeting between LĂź Bu and Zhang Yang, and took a step forward in the Hanoi strategy.
Even if there was no fire set by Li Shi and others, Cao Cao would not be able to use the ruined Chang'an City as a political and military center, and his governing place would eventually be either Luoyang or Xuchang.
If the Qingzhou army occupies Hanoi first, then Luoyang will be directly within the attack range of the Qingzhou army, and if there is a slight difference, Cao Cao's territory will be cut off from it, and it is impossible for him to garrison heavy troops to defend against it.
As long as Hanoi formed a diversion role, whether Cao Cao wanted to attack Jingzhou, or relied on coercion to surrender the army without a fight, it was all a pipe dream.
In order to achieve this goal, Jia Xu tried his best to persuade Lu Bu and played a favor card, which made Zhang Yang excited. The heartbeat has not yet turned into a heartbeat, probably because he still wants to see the wind.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the general trend of the world is indeed not so clear, although Qingzhou is strong, but Cao Cao is not weak, plus the alliance formed with Ma Teng and Sun Ce, the strength is actually beyond Qingzhou.
Although Qingzhou also has allies, Yuan Shu is very selfish, and he has the idea of fighting both ends of the rat's head and profiting from it, otherwise he would not have gone to Jingzhou to join in the fun. If Sun Ce goes north in the future, maybe this guy will really get out of the way, let Sun Ce attack Xuzhou, and fight to the death with Wang Yu.
Moreover, although Lu Bu's martial arts are strong, as a lobbyist, he is very unqualified. Don't count on the pros and cons of analyzing whatever, his meeting with Zhang Yang only lasted a little more than a stick of incense, so much time, that is, to say hello and say a few words, right?
Wang Yu felt that the old fox might be self-defeating this time.
It's just that Jia Xu himself doesn't think so, he thinks that the Hanoi strategy is almost at the end of the moment, and there is only one opportunity left.
After all, these are relatively distant, and the most urgent threat now is actually Ma Teng and Han Sui's Xiliang Army.
Even if there was no Xu Shu's attack, it would be impossible for Yuan Tan and Gao Gan's remnants to be able to stop the onslaught of 300,000 Qianghu. For the Western Liang army, the speed at which they posed a substantial threat to Jizhou was only limited by the speed of their march.
Optimistically, he may have about a year to go, and then he will have to face the threat of the Xiliang Army. But this is not absolute, Cao Cao is a person with a very big picture, although there is a plan to divide the three families, it will take time to reorganize the troops and form combat power, but Cao Cao may not let himself calmly face the Xiliang army.
The worst-case scenario is that the Western Liang army captures the state in advance, and Cao Cao also goes east to Xingyang at the same time, or crosses the river to attack Hanoi, so that he can only fight on both sides.
Wang Yu couldn't tell for a while, he hoped that the Xiliang army would come earlier or later.
came too early, here in the northern Xinjiang, he couldn't get out of it for a while.
Gongsun Chan had already begun to build a city under Danhan Mountain, and during this time, it was the most vulnerable time for the Youzhou army, and Wang Yu certainly couldn't let the allies be exposed to the wolves. The main force of Qingzhou can't move, and he can't go, in order to deter Zhuhu.
On the other side, Gongsun Du was strong and was also preparing to start a war with Goguryeo.
It is said that Goguryeo could not defeat Gongsun Du, but the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and the situation on the grassland was also changing rapidly.
Although the Liaodong Army is strong, its strength is limited, and a good tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves. At least until Gongsun Du captured the inner city and built a military base, the main force of Qingzhou still had to stay in Youzhou to make a response.
However, if the Xiliang army came early, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to cooperate in time, and there was just a time difference between the breaks.
If it comes late, Northern Xinjiang can rest assured, but Cao Cao will definitely not miss the opportunity, so the situation is very complicated.
In response to this, Jia Xu put forward several countermeasures, and Wang Yu was hesitant for a while. (To be continued......)
