Chapter 778 Let him do whatever he wants

The plan was finalized.

Wang Yu was not interested in pumping other people's hind legs, he was very self-aware, and knew that although his personality was not upright, he did have some less twists and turns.

Previously, he led Bai Bo's eastward retreat, which can be said to have largely hindered Cao Cao's westward expansion plan. If it weren't for the loss of Bai Bo's containment, Li Dao and Guo Yan would not have been able to withdraw from Hedong so quickly, which caused a great restrain to Cao Jun.

In fact, it was precisely because of Li and Guo's containment that Cao Cao had no choice but to make Xiahou Yuan take the risk of deceiving and luring the enemy, trying to open a gap from the Wuguan front, but was used by Li Ru in turn and suffered a great injury.

However, Guo Jia also adjusted quickly, while changing his deployment, getting in touch with the rebel leaders in Xiliang, and then forming an alliance and formulating a strategy to flank Chang'an. On the other hand, he laid out in the Central Plains, united the heroes, and set up a big chess game of three families, which quickly eliminated the impact of Xiahou Yuan's fiasco.

In view of this, Wang Yu naturally had little interest in repeating this process again.

You must know that there is also a price to pay for pumping other people's hind legs, Bai Bo was originally his own sphere of influence, and he took great pains to guide and respond to their eastward retreat, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, not to mention, and lost the nail that hit the east of the river.

If it weren't for the fact that Hedong was restrained by Cao Cao, Wang Yu would have preferred to try to reinforce the Baibo army, so that they could try to hold on, and hold on until the hussars marched westward, and with the response of the Baibo army, wouldn't Hedong be at his fingertips?

Therefore, although Wang Yu's previous action to drag people back was fruitful, the price he paid was not small, causing him to lose interest in it. Thinking about it carefully, if he insists on dragging his feet to the end, maybe he will cheapen Sun Ce, who is gaining momentum.

Just as Guo Jia's strategy of dividing the thorns is embodied, tricks and everything are trivial matters, and being strong is the fundamental. At this point, he and Zhuge Liang also coincide.

The only thing that surprised him a little was Zhuge Liang's strong insistence on it.

In Wang Yu's impression, Zhuge Liang should not be a very stable and humble person, it is rare to see him so persistent about something, and even the most famous sentence in history has come out.

Not to mention that Zhuge Liang's proposal was originally in Wang Yu's arms, even if it wasn't, he had to think about it carefully, otherwise, looking at the posture, maybe the juvenile version of the teacher table would be freshly baked.

Of course, Wang Yu will not just throw the complicated affairs to Zhuge Liang, he doesn't want to abuse child labor, let alone let Zhuge Liang become the workaholic in history in advance, and at the same time, he is a little uneasy, worried that the courage of the young man is commendable, but he may not be able to take care of so many affairs.

Therefore, he repaired a letter and sent it to Lunu City in an urgent manner for 800 miles, asking Tian Feng for advice.

It's not that he didn't think that it might be more secure for Tian Feng, who is more aged, to come to Youzhou. However, he had to take care of Zhuge Liang's mood, and more importantly, with the official change of the Youzhou Army, the large counties of Bohai, Anping, and Hejian were also included in the jurisdiction of Qingzhou.

If Youzhou still only has some development potential, the three counties of Bohai are originally the big counties of Jizhou, although the population has decreased sharply after repeated wars, but the overall level is much stronger than Youzhou. There is no need to invest too many resources, as long as Qingzhou's decree is copied from the past, within two years, the old view can be restored and enough resources for Qingzhou to compete for hegemony.

For such an important matter, in addition to letting Tian Feng personally take charge, Wang Yu really couldn't find a second candidate.

On the one hand, he contacted Tian Feng, and on the other hand, Wang Yu also wrote several long letters back to Gaotang.

One letter is for Jia Xu, mainly to discuss and deduce the changes in the situation, and then discuss some contingency countermeasures, and finally think of some small means to block Cao Cao.

Wang Yu didn't have much thought about it, but he just thought that he could give Liu Biao a wake-up call and take some precautions in advance.

Although Liu Biao could not be spared under the attack from three sides, the length of time he held out and the intensity of the battle would play a crucial role in the harvest of the Sun and Cao families.

As for Yuan Shu, although he is also very energetic, but the actual conditions are there, no matter how energetic he is, it is impossible to grab the lion's head from Sun and Cao, it is purely to coax.

To this end, Wang Yu wrote another letter to Pang Tong, allowing the latter to use the high-ranking internal agents of the Huainan army to try to find out why Yuan Shu was so vigorous, and if possible, to devote resources to sabotage it as appropriate.

Militarily, the Huainan Army did not play a substantive role, but the three-sided siege and the two-sided attack gave people a completely different feeling. Considering the particularity of Jingzhou's power structure, Wang Yu believes that if Yuan Shu can be persuaded to alleviate the crisis in Jingzhou to a certain extent.

Considering that it is the scheming Liu Yan who is now in charge of Yizhou, not his cowardly and incompetent son. Wang Yu thinks that if he is optimistic, his reminder may be able to promote a Jingshu Alliance, after all, these two are relatives, and the relationship between the lips and teeth is also obvious, and Liu Yan has no reason to watch Liu Biao fall.

If Yuan Shu can be persuaded to retire again, it will be two against two, with Liu Biao's tenacity to resist Sun Jian back then, how much can he last for a year and a half, right?

For the same consideration, Wang Yu also wrote a letter to Xu Shu to discuss the strategy of merging the state. For a long time, Bingzhou has been a place for the Qingzhou Army to train in actual combat, and Yuan Tan and Gao Gan are gritting their teeth and holding on, and they have long lost the idea of counterattacking Jizhou.

In addition to Yuan and Gao, the biggest force in Bingzhou was the Xiongnu, who was chilled by Wang Yu and Xu Shu in two battles, and also injured his vitality, which is no longer a cause for concern.

If there is no interference from other factors, when Wang Yu frees up his hand, as long as Xu Shu leads a brigade of elites to the west, there is no difficulty at all in attacking and merging states, and it will definitely be an invincible and overwhelming momentum.

But now it seems that Bingzhou is likely to face another threat - Ma Teng, Han Sui's Xiliang rebels.

Wang Yu is not familiar with Ma Teng and Han Sui, he is only familiar with Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai.

The book says that Ma Teng is a loyal and good member of the Han family after Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo, but as far as Wang Yu knows, unless Ma Teng is also in Cao Ying's heart in Han, he is purely a rebel.

He successively fought with the Qiang people Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and several rebels in the kingdom and the Han army, and he had nothing to do with the Han army. The Xiliang Taishou in the romance is purely made up, Ma Teng has never been there, and there is no such official position in the establishment of the Han court. Xiliang is Liangzhou, and the chief official can only be the assassin or the state pastor, who is too guarded and pure fiction.

As far as Wang Yu knew, before this uprising, Ma Teng had no official position at all.

The title of General Zhengxi was just obtained, and after hooking up with Cao Cao, Cao Cao's performance didn't count at all. The official position of the guard captain was given to him temporarily after he raised the army, Dong Zhuo realized that something was wrong, and he was temporarily sealed with a gentle plan, since the two sides did not talk about it, and there was a battle, Ma Teng also lost, and this edict naturally did not count.

Although I don't know if Dong Zhuo will give Ma Teng and Han Sui a bigger official position after Ma Teng raised troops for the second time, no matter how big an official he is, it can't change the reckless nature of these two heroes who killed people and set fires and were recruited.

Among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Bingzhou is quite barren, but for Ma, Han and their Qiang allies, any place in the Central Plains must be stronger than Xiliang, and it must be full of momentum when it advances eastward.

Yuan Tan and Gao Gan couldn't even defeat Xu Shu's partial division dominated by militia and teaching team, let alone deal with the fierce Xiliang rebels. At this time, if Xu Shu continues to harass him, he will help the enemy, and if it is not good, Yuan Tan will let go of his noble identity and switch to Ma Teng.

Wang Yu told Xu Shu that under the current situation, it is best not to force the annexation of the state too tightly, if possible, it is better to think of a way to let Yuan, Gao, Ma and Han fight each other, which is in the best interests of Qingzhou.

It's not that he is afraid that after the Xiliang rebels capture Bingzhou, they will cross the Taihang Mountain to attack Jizhou, Wang Yu just doesn't want Ma Teng to gain a foothold in Bingzhou too easily and cause too much trouble to the future westward expedition.

Of course, this is difficult, but it is Xu Shu who carries out the order, and Wang Yu has nothing to worry about, with Xu Yuanzhi's eyesight, even if he does not have his own instructions, will he not be able to see that when the main force is entrenched in Youzhou, is it the best strategy to drive the wolf and devour the tiger?

The next letter was addressed to Lu Bu.

Since Cao Cao was able to win over Yuan Shu, it was obviously the idea of starting from the wings of the Qingzhou army. Wang Yudao is not worried that Lu Bu will also be co-opted by Cao Cao, but he must be careful, Cao Cao will attack Lu Bu.

The strategic location of East County was inherently important. When the main army gathered, Cao Cao's defense of Dongjun would only become enemy everywhere, which could be regarded as a stupid move to kill himself. But at this moment when Qingzhou itself is empty, if Cao Cao takes Dongjun, the hinterland of Qingzhou will be fully threatened, especially the Gaotang Dynasty.

Even if Gao Tang did not threaten, if Cao Cao had Dongjun in hand, he could take advantage of the situation to capture the empty Jibei Kingdom, and then hold the danger and block the road for the Qingzhou army to advance west along the river. At that time, if Wang Yu wanted to attack the Central Plains, he could only fight a battle of Guandu with Cao Cao - only there would be the most convenient transportation conditions for marching and launching a large army.

Wang Yu is not afraid of Cao Cao, he just knows very well that with Cao Cao's military methods, if he has no worries about the rear and there are allies on both wings, with the Yellow River, the means that this gentleman can play are not too much. If you don't know, this battle will really become a turning point in the situation in the world.

With Lu Bu's character, I'm afraid it's useless for others to remind me, and I remind a few words as a son-in-law, which shouldn't cause a backlash, anyway, there is Zhang Liao beating the side drum.

In the end, what Wang Yu urgently needed to decide was the choice of the envoy to Liaodong. (To be continued.) The latest chapter of the peerless Tang Gate
