Liu Bei came quickly.

Although Wang Yu's plan is also risky, it is still a big pie that fell from the sky for Liu Bei, who has been looking for opportunities. Whether it is from the perspective of interests or considering the etiquette of master and slave, Liu Bei must express the corresponding respect and gratitude as soon as possible.

"The prince and the marquis are polite, and when they heard that the prince and the marquis intended to use troops to clear the river, they summoned each other to be prepared, and they came to obey their orders." As soon as they met, Liu Bei fell to the ground, and in the Han Dynasty, when kneeling was not prevalent, this was quite a grand etiquette.

Liu Bei was very respectful, and Wang Yu didn't hold it up, so he hurriedly held Liu Bei's arms, and said with a smile: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, all those who are loyal to the Han family can be punished for their disobedience, and if they rebel against major events, how can they get less Xuande Gong?" However, there are many henchmen of Yuan Thief, although he has been frustrated for a while, he must not stop there, and before and after Xuande Gong marches into the army, he must be more careful about Fang Zheng. ”

Liu Bei Zhengse replied: "The good words of the prince and the marquis, don't dare to forget them for a while." ”

"Xuande Gong is too polite, please." Wang Yu said a few more polite words, and then extended the guest with a false hand and asked Liu Bei to enter the account.

"Wang, please." Liu Bei didn't dare to slack off, and returned a salute, only then did he fall half a step behind Wang Yu and enter together.

The wine and food in the tent have been withdrawn, and Wang Yu's handsome case hangs a map of Jizhou's topography, and Wang Yu did not invite Liu Bei's brothers to sit, but pulled Liu Bei directly to the map.

This move is not in line with etiquette, but Liu Bei doesn't care, he is just a guest, how can he have the confidence to deal with Wang Yu? What's more, his attention was drawn to the map.

This map is not made of the usual sheepskin, but a new white paper from Qingzhou. The ink on it was clear, and it was evident that it had not been painted for a long time, and the white paper radiated a soft halo, which set off the ink much more vividly.

The map is drawn quite finely, mountains and rivers. The roads of the city, no matter how big or small, are marked, and there are small letters on the side, indicating the corresponding data, which is breathtaking.

In addition, there are many annotations on the map, which are colorful and particularly eye-catching.

The most on the chart. It's a red, yellow, green, and black arrow. Liu Bei guessed that these arrows should represent the route of the march, but there are many styles of these arrows, some are hollow, and some are solid. Some of them are dotted with dotted lines, and many of them have a single line behind them, or incoherent dotted lines, all of which clearly represent some specific meaning.

In addition, there are also special symbols marked on the locations that represent the city's roads, which are divided by these symbols. The southern counties of Jizhou were divided into multiple regions.

Liu Bei guessed that this division method should represent the strength range of the princes of Jizhou.

Wei County is located at the southwest end of Jizhou, bordering the Great River in the south. It is connected to the north of Hanoi to the west, Quang Binh to the north, and Duong Binh to the east. At present, the western part of Quang Binh is being invaded by the Montenegrin Army. So this area is marked in black, and the rest of the area is yellow.

Julu County and Zhao Kingdom to the north of Guangping were not involved in the war group for the time being. Therefore, it is marked in green.

Anping and Qinghe Prefectures east of Yangping are at war, and the forces of the two sides are intertwined, so the red and yellow dotted lines are used. According to this division, the land of the two counties was divided into three regions by Wang Yu.

The area to the north is the largest, focusing on the city of Gwangjong in the south of Anping, and encompassing all the lands in the northern part of Qinghe County along the Qinghe River; The middle one is slightly secondary, focusing on Qingyuan City at the junction of Qinghe and Yangping, and includes a large area of land, including Qinghe County; The southernmost piece is from Yan County to Liaocheng, which spans the area of Qinghe County in the plain.

"The red represents our side, the yellow represents the enemy, the black represents the Montenegrin army, and the green represents the forces that remain neutral for the time being; The arrows represent the route of the march, the different arrows represent the different states before and after the war, and the dotted lines represent the possible directions of the troops......"

Wang Yu's detailed explanation came from his ears, and Liu Bei nodded again and again when he heard it, and he was also amazed in his heart. This annotation method is not complicated, but it is concise and intuitive, not only does not require people to bother to recall the battle situation, but can play a prompting role.

Liu Bei has a little more understanding of Wang Yu's military literacy, but he feels that just this insight has not come in vain today.

Liu Bei said with emotion: "There is an old saying: no matter how big or small, there is a reason for heaven and man. The kings and princes are invincible, there are those who do not distinguish the reason, and they say that the princes and princes are only brave and ruthless, and they are lucky to win. ”

Wang Yu laughed and said: "Xuande Gong praised it falsely, it's just a small way to covet convenience, where can I deserve such praise, Xuande Gong said this, but I was spoiled." ”

This thing is not a special invention, it is just a gadget that I was used to seeing in my previous life and made it habitually. No one thought before, it doesn't mean that the ancients were stupid, the map of this era is a precious thing, who is willing to scribble on it?

The reason why Wang Yu has this convenience is that he can draw by himself, and there is new paper available, as long as he has one, he can copy a copy, which is naturally much easier.

Waving his hand, Wang Yu said again: "Yuan Shao has currently adopted a strategy of strict defense, if our army takes the initiative to attack, it will inevitably become a war of attrition and a tough battle, our army has few and fine soldiers, which is naturally unfavorable, so I plan to do the opposite, not to touch the defense line first, but to encroach on the land of Qinghe and Guangping counties step by step." To this end, I divided the two counties into three war zones......"

He pointed to the map and said: "Guangzong is located at the junction of the three counties, and the defensive direction is the enemy of Guangping and Julu; Qingyuan is in the north of Yangping, which can effectively cut off the connection between Guantao and the enemy in Guangping, but the defensive task will be heavier, because if Yuan Shao wants to counterattack in a big way, this is the place where he must attack; The target of the defense of the Liaocheng front is mainly based on the imaginary enemy......"

Wang Yu did not directly say who the imaginary enemy was, but Liaocheng is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, close to Dongjun, and the defense can only be Liu Dai and Cao Cao.

After explaining in detail, Wang Yu concluded: "Yuan Shao is arrogant, although he was stunned for a while, but when he comes back to his senses, he should soon start to fight back. No matter which war zone Xuande Gong chooses in the end, he can't be careless. ”

"What does the prince mean......" Liu Bei raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.

When Wang Yu explained, he had already guessed, but after all, he still didn't believe that happiness would come so suddenly. A war zone is the land of half a county. And it is the place where the elite of Jizhou is located, and more importantly, according to Wang Yu's policy, he can attack those powerful households, and the resulting notoriety can be pushed to Wang Yu.

If it goes well, he will soon be able to gather enough money and food.

As for the risks that Wang Yu has always emphasized, Liu Bei only thinks of it as a clear breeze. Of course, there will be risks in fighting, and if there is a risk, retreat. So what kind of world are you fighting for?

What's more, Yuan Shao has been beaten dizzy, no matter how good he is, the Jizhou army, which has suffered heavy casualties, will not be able to launch a counterattack for a while, even if there is a big war. It should be next year. With this year's time, even if he can't completely gain a foothold in Qinghe, he can still create a reliable force.

Wang Yu said with a smile: "The main force of me and Brother Bo Jue cannot be moved lightly for the time being, except for the French brother, there is no general under Brother Bo Jue, and the one who can take on such a heavy responsibility is none other than Xuande Gong, and I hope that Xuande Gong will not shirk." ”

"Don't dare to be. Don't dare to be. Liu Bei thanked him, but his mind had already followed the map and flew to the land of Jizhou.

When Wang Yu explained, Liu Bei had already begun to analyze.

in three theaters of war. On the face of it, the defense tasks of the Central Theater of Operations are the most arduous, the easiest in the Southern Theater, and the most complex in the Northern Theater.

The Central Theater is likely to face Yuan Shao's counterattack. Even if Yuan Shao doesn't go to Zheng in person, he will face it alone with Gao Ran. The pressure is also high. What the southern theater has to guard against is the Yanzhou princes whose movements are unknown, and it is difficult to say whether the Yanzhou princes will join the war group and in what way. With Liu Dai's courage, will he come to Jizhou to face Wang Yu's edge, or will he turn to attack the relatively empty Qingzhou?

Therefore, Liu Bei came to the above conclusion.

But if you think about it deeply, things may not be so simple.

Liu Dai doesn't have much courage, but Cao Cao is not a good stubble, not long ago, he just defeated Yuan Shu, and he was in the limelight. Will he watch the situation in Jizhou slide in a direction that is not in his favor? Cao Cao took the lead, Liu Dai followed suit, and the pressure on the southern front skyrocketed instantly, and Liu Bei had no confidence to stop it.

The middle lane is not so dangerous, after all, Yuan Shao is already a frightened bird, he may not have the courage to counterattack, Yuan Shao does not come in person, just with a high view, how much of a threat can he have? The last time I lost to Zhang Jaw, on the one hand, I was ambushed, and on the other hand, I was outnumbered, as long as I could take Qinghe County, what was the difficulty of forming a large army?

Besides, the main force of Qingzhou is in Yan County, and the main force of Youzhou is in Xindu, and they can reinforce the central theater at any time, but the northern and southern theaters will not have this convenience. If the enemy is in a hurry, at least in the early stage, the defenders of the two theaters will have to fight on their own, and reinforcements will only be one way at most.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei made up his mind and said angrily: "Since the prince and prince will not give up, it is time to be prepared, and I am willing to be the vanguard and go to Qingyuan to defend Gaolan." ”

"Since that's the case, then it's up to Xuande Gong." Wang Yu was overjoyed, nodded and promised: "I will repair a letter here, informing the French brother to change the strategy and change the defense, and I will also explain it together, but there are not many soldiers and horses under the Xuande public account, even if it is a surprise attack, this Qinghe City ......"

Before Liu Bei could answer, Zhang Feihuan glared at him and shouted loudly: "Brother Pengju, don't underestimate people, there are only thousands of remnants in Qinghe City, with me and my second brother here, how can it not be justified to go down at once?" If you can't believe me, I'll set up a military order here, and if I can't take Qinghe City, I'll come and see you! ”

"Wing De Hugh is rude." Guan Yu glared at his righteous brother dissatisfied, bowed his hand to Wang Yu, and said: "General Wang, what Yide said was reckless, but the words were not rough, the soldiers and generals in Qinghe City were already frightened and not afraid, but they only relied on the high and deep moats of the city to block General Tian's siege." If they are led out of the city this time, although my brother is not talented, there is no reason why he cannot take it. ”

Although he was explaining to Zhang Fei, Guan Yu's words were also full of arrogance, but fortunately, the reason was not wrong, and Wang Yu naturally had no reason to disagree.

Wang Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't worry, second brother, don't worry, my original intention was to let Ziyi lead hundreds of soldiers and horses to help Xuande Gong fight, but since the two brothers have said so, then this matter is settled." ”

Guan Yu hugged his fists and said: "General Wang's kindness, my brother understands it, but the general has to besiege Yancheng and divide his troops to the south, and the troops are also quite tight. My brother lost the plain a few days ago, and almost caused a catastrophe, this time it is also a meritorious atonement, how dare not fight bravely? ”

Zhang Fei laughed: "Brother Pengju." You just put a hundred hearts, as long as you don't underestimate the enemy, just Qinghe City will not be captured? Just wait and see! ”

The two brothers were full of pride, but Liu Bei sighed in his heart.

He believed that Wang Yu was not hypocritical, whether Qinghe County could be taken or not would have a great impact on the entire battle situation, and that Xindu City had discipline and trial of these people, and his control over the city was relatively high, and Wang Yu's strategy might not be effective. But Qinghe City will be recruited.

But even if it is successful, it is very difficult to capture the city, Tai Shici's martial arts may not be stronger than the two righteous brothers, but the combat effectiveness of Qingzhou's elite is much stronger than the defeated remnants of his own army.

As a result, he was pushed away by the two righteous brothers, which is really ...... It's a pity.

Thank you to Wang Yu again. Liu Bei's brothers left the Chinese army, lit up their troops and horses, mixed in the rolling crowd, and headed west. At the same time, dozens of fast horses also left the camp and galloped away in different directions.

This all-out war on the land of Hebei began.

……

After the front was opened. Yan County, a small place, soon became the busiest place in Hebei and even in the world.

The ranger shuttles endlessly, all over Hebei, and even the intelligence of the world. A steady stream of them are being sent here. Every time he received a piece of information, Wang Yu's already complicated map would add a few more strokes, and it would soon become messy.

"Lord Qi. Three days ago, Qinghe City had fallen. Although he did not send troops to rescue, he sent a thousand soldiers and horses to reinforce Qingyuan, and Liu asked for instructions on whether to continue to advance westward......"

"General Taishi conquered Liaocheng yesterday and annihilated the defenders of Liaocheng, and Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, who were stationed in Leping, did not dare to move lightly ......"

"General Tian Liankenan Palace, Jingxian, Guangzong can go down every day, but the Xindu City is very stable, no matter how the people outside the city grab the autumn grain, there is not a single soldier out of the city......"

The battle is going well, all fronts are advancing with great triumph, and according to this situation, it will soon be able to advance to the expected position. But Wang Yu's expression was very solemn, and if he didn't know, he thought that the battle situation was already in jeopardy.

"What is the lord worried about?" Qingzhou is fine for the time being, but the situation in Hebei is very complicated, Jia Xu can't interfere in internal affairs, Wang Yu simply summoned him from Linzi so that he can counsel the military plane.

Wang Yu frowned and stared at Yutu, and said without looking back: "I always feel that something is wrong, Yuan Shao's resistance is too weak." ”

In addition to Gao Ran's division of troops to reinforce Qingyuan, the guards in Jizhou all put on a posture of holding their heads and being beaten, as long as the coalition forces did not attack their heads, they turned a blind eye to the surrounding situation, and had no intention of rescuing each other at all.

The situation was already unfavorable, and if it was broken by the coalition forces individually, the battle situation naturally deteriorated.

"Yuan Benchu was indecisive and couldn't use people, he strictly ordered everyone to defend it, and the generals naturally did not seek victory, they thought about defeat first, and they were less enterprising, which is not surprising." Jia Xu nodded and said: "In addition, Zhang Yan is going back and forth in Guangping, and Yuan Benchu can't take care of the front line for a while in order to protect himself. ”

"Wenhe, do you really think so?" Wang Yu turned his head and stared at the fat man with rather playful eyes.

"It makes sense that way." Jia Xu held a pu fan, flickering and flickering, he didn't want to play music, but it was really hot.

"What about common sense?" Wang Yu asked.

"If you don't follow common sense, it's a conspiracy theory, and the situation is not good."

Jia Xu slapped twice, stood up and walked to the side of Yutu, "Generally speaking, when encountering enemies on both sides, you should maintain a defensive position on one side, launch an offensive on the other side, and solve the weaker enemy as soon as possible......

Jia Xu moved his finger down and pointed to Hanoi's position: "Hanoi Zhang Yang is a vassal of Yuan Shao, although there are not too many soldiers and horses under his command, there are always more than 10,000 soldiers in battle!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed his hand diagonally upwards again, drew a big circle, and circled the neighboring Jizhou: "At the beginning of the year, Yuan Shao sent Gao Gan to Bingzhou, this person is the son-in-law of the Gao family of Chen Liu's famous family, known as prestigious, and married Yuan Valve, became Yuan Shao's son-in-law, with a very high reputation, and the help of Zhang Yang's old department. When he first came to the party, he was supported by the local heroes. ”

"Let me ask, although there are not many soldiers in Shangdang and Hanoi, if they are flanked by the Jizhou army, how can Zhang Yan resist?"

There is a Taihang Mountain between Shangdang County and Guangping County, and the distance from Hanoi County to Wei County is even shorter.

Of course, there may be some reasons for this, such as Zhang Yang's vacillation, the failure of senior cadres to completely control the party, etc., but since it is a conspiracy theory, it is necessary to consider the problem from the worst angle.

The scout reported that due to the delay in capturing Handan City, Zhang Yan lost patience and divided his troops to the east to attack Quliang, but Yuan Shao still did not move. Both sides are on the defensive, if Yuan Shao is not frightened, he can only say that he is brewing some conspiracy. ”

Wang Yu nodded and asked, "What kind of conspiracy does Wen He think?" ”

After getting familiar with Wang Yu's style, Jia Xu rarely went around in circles like when he first met, and even if he did, he wouldn't go around too much: "Zhang Yan may not be worried, but it may also be that Yuan Shao is worried about startling the snake, so he endures it hard, and only waits for the time to come, and then sends a thunderous blow, so that the opponent will never recover." ”

Wang Yu snorted, his gaze first fell on Yanzhou, and then looked at Youzhou.

Jia Xu observed his words and knew that Wang Yu had gone with him, and continued: "Cao Cao returned to Dongjun, and Liu Dai also mobilized the main force to Dongwuyang, whether it is to guard against our army or wait for an opportunity to raid, it is not yet known, but the threat is already here. And Youzhou ......"

Wang Yu's thinking about the battle situation was originally very perfect, but he hadn't figured out the order clearly, and through Jia Xu's combing from beginning to end, his thinking was completely clear.

According to the worst-case scenario, Yuan Shao is likely to construct a grand strategy and encircle a large group of powerful princes, and his ultimate goal is not Zhang Yan or Gongsun Zhan, but himself!
