Chapter 855 The Tiger Adds Wings
Whether it is Liu Yan or Yizhou, they are quite unfamiliar names and backgrounds to Wang Yu. To be precise, he is no stranger to Yizhou, but at this moment, he has almost no concept of Yizhou.
Yizhou is Xishu, the base of the Shu Han regime in the Three Kingdoms era, but before Liu Bei entered Shu, Yizhou had almost no connection with the general trend of the world. This is related to the topography of Xishu itself, the mountains and rivers on the surface of Shu are self-contained, and the surrounding steep terrain can easily block foreign enemies from the door, but it also restricts the people inside from coming out, and it is a place where there is no dispute with the world.
In the thousands of years in China, there were many forces in Western Shu, but only the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei were in power. The rest are to be the emperor of the soil by themselves, trying to be at ease, and when the general trend of the world has been decided, those who know each other obediently hand over their authority, and want to enjoy the rest of their lives in peace, and those who don't know each other can't stop the army outside.
In Wang Yu's idea of unifying the world, there is no place in Xishu at all, and the force is already irresistible when the forces are advanced from Hebei to the gate of Xishu, not to mention that Liu Bei did not take the group of teams that he transferred to the world in, even if the Xishu forces in the strongest period in history are replaced, can they resist themselves for a few years?
During the reign of Zhuge Liang, Xishu faced the Central Plains forces that had been war-torn for a long time. By the time the current Qingzhou forces advance to Shu, the Central Plains has recovered at least more than half of its vitality.
Taking Xishu is a matter of course.
As for the situation of the Xishu forces stirring up and entering the world, and even the Central Plains War, Wang Yu didn't even think about it. How many people and how many soldiers and horses does Yizhou have now? Come out of Shu. rushed to the battlefield of the Central Plains, but it was really a battle of thousands of miles. Labor Expedition! The dominance needed is not trivial, whether it is Liu Yan or his son Liu Zhang, it seems that it is not that piece of material, right?
Wang Yu was not very familiar with Liu Yan, and only knew that the other party was a member of the plan for the three Liu to go out of Beijing, and together with Liu Biao and Liu Xuan, he was regarded as the hope for the survival of the Han family. Knowing that Liu Yan had an unsuccessful son named Liu Zhang, after being the soil emperor in Shu for twenty years, he stupidly lured the wolf into the room and recruited Liu Bei. As a result, he lost his inheritance.
So much for.
Sanliu Dejing's plan cannot be said to be a success or a failure.
If the territory of these three people is connected, it will be half of the country, and even if someone unifies the Central Plains, they can make a long-term countermeasure. However, the three of them have never been able to reach an agreement, and have never formed a military alliance even in name, and as a result, the foundation has been taken away one after another, and the plan for survival has come to naught.
However, without these three people. Maybe Cao Cao usurped the Han Dynasty earlier. After all, with these three official acquiescing survival sparks, Cao Cao's usurpation is not justifiable enough, even if he is reluctant to do it, others can support the new emperor. It can be regarded as a containment.
It can be seen that Liu Yan may have some means, and his vision is not bad. It's just that he has a limited mind, and he is destined to be a person who can't become a big thing.
The result is at this juncture. Liu Yu suddenly jumped out, even with Wang Yu's strong will. The corners of his eyes also jumped. Not worried, just too surprised. Especially when I heard about the birth of the eldest son Fan and the second son...... Shouldn't Liu Yan have only one son? Otherwise, with Liu Zhang's virtue, how could he cross the barrier between the young and the old and inherit the foundation of Yizhou?
It's good now, that turtle Liu Zhang is going to be the Son of Heaven...... This time, Wang Yu was completely beaten by Cao Cao and attacked suddenly.
Although Liu Junlang was allowed to leave the town of Yizhou, he left his three sons in Beijing, which was considered a proton, and only allowed his third son Liu Mao to accompany him. Later, he saw that his youngest son Liu Zhang had a cowardly personality and was not in the climate, so he let him be the captain of Fengche and sent to Yizhou for an edict, and he was never returned. ”
Wang Yu has never paid attention to Shudi, but Jia Xu is quite competent as a military advisor, and the characters and allusions in the world are like a few treasures, and he immediately explained the cause and effect clearly.
"Liu Junlang's real importance is still the eldest son Liu Fan and the second son Liu Dan, who have been trying to operate and try to get the second son back, but after the death of the first emperor, the world was in chaos, Liu Junlang sent Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu into Hanzhong, intercepted and killed the Han envoys, and the contact between the two sides was interrupted."
"So, it's really because of Cao Cao's scheme?" Although Zhuge Liang is very wise, after all, he is still young, and he is very familiar with analyzing intelligence and handling government affairs, but he is not so familiar with the allusions to the characters of the current dynasty. After listening to Jia Xu's explanation, he nodded and asked by inference: "But even if he wins over Liu Yan, it seems that he can only strengthen his momentum, so what's the use?" ”
He got to the point, Cao Cao's wooing of Liu Yan was very surprising, but other than that, there was not much practical effect. Not to mention that the Sichuan soldiers can't come out, even if they really go to the aid of thousands of miles without relentlessness, it is also a question of how much combat effectiveness can be left. But Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, he worked so hard that he even promised the throne to go out, for the sake of more than just the benefit of his momentum.
Jia Xu also groaned, there is no benefit in thinking about it, at most, the speed of attacking Jingzhou will be accelerated, and attacking Nanjun from the Jiangzhou area is a somewhat reliable route to enter the army.
As for Cao Cao, in order to intercept the families of Huang Yueying and others, he wooed Liu Yan...... That's.
The arrest was only incidental, after taking Jingzhou, Cao Cao didn't need to take any action at all, as long as he sent a few guards to stop outside the courtyards of each house, these young handsome people in Qingzhou would definitely panic. deliberately arrested people and fell into inferiority, and the reputation is not good, and there is no need to go to great lengths to form an alliance with Liu Yan, and support the other party's son as the emperor.
Although Diao Chan is shrewd, her main advantage is the grasp of interpersonal relationships and the meticulousness of handling affairs, rather than analyzing military affairs, a pair of beautiful eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally fell on her own man.
After a while, Wang Yu shook his head, showed a wry smile, and sighed: "Maybe, Cao Cao is forced to be in a hurry......"
Everyone was stunned, Zhuge Liang was young and anxious, and asked, "Lord, how should I say this?" ”
"It's not about the salt yet...... Wang Yu's expression seemed to be smiling. The tone was also a little weird: "This is how people are not as good as heaven." ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why. It took a long time for Jia Xu to wake up suddenly. slapped his thigh and shouted: "It's salt, it's salt!" This is really not as good as heaven! Alas, Kong Ming, Ziyi, you haven't been to Shudi, you may not know something, so Yizhou can become a country of its own, not only because of the terrain. It is also because of the abundance of products there, everything can be done independently. ”
"There is a well salt in Shudi...... It is contained in the book: Li Bing knows the water veins, wears the salt wells and Zhupi pools in Guangdu, and Shu is full of health preservation. Jia Xu tapped his fingers on the edge of the table and gave the answer in the way that best suited the characteristics of the times.
Zhuge Liang has read a lot, but on the whole it is still close to the category of classics and history, and he has limited knowledge of this kind of books involving local customs and customs, so he is not sure which book Jia Xu is talking about, but the name of Li Bing, the famous guard of the Warring States Period, is like thunder. As soon as I heard that it was related to Li Bing, there was nothing to doubt.
With clues, it's easy to sort out the cause and effect of the whole thing.
Zhuge Liang sighed: "There is salt in Yizhou, but there is a shortage of salt in Luoyang. And Yizhou is occluded, and can only watch the turmoil outside, and Liu Yizhou's second son is in Luoyang. Desperate for a return, so there is such a plan. Presumably, this plan is also from the hand of Guo Fengxiao, who is well-informed and strong. When I saw it today, it was a mountain and a mountain high. ”
"Why should Kong Ming be arrogant?" Wang Yu waved his hand and said: "Cao Cao was cut off from the supply of salt by us, like a thorn in the choke, he has to find ways to do it, and our military salt stuck his neck, it was not an important plan, it was just an unintentional joint work of the Department of Commerce and the Department of Intelligence, you didn't pay too much attention to it, what is the surprise?" Don't worry! ”
Knowing that his unintentional actions made Cao Cao so embarrassed, and even took great pains to contact and negotiate with Yizhou, Wang Yu felt very happy, and he was not satisfied with any more extravagance. Wang Yu never thought of solving Cao Cao without blood, who is Cao Cao? How can it be so easy to deal with?
Even if Cao Cao and Liu Yan formed an alliance and got the supply of Sichuan salt, the cost of spending on salt would still not be too low, because it would have to add freight, and the difficulty of Shu Road would be difficult to climb.
Now the trouble is still focused on how to receive Huang Chengyan and others out of the country. Under the siege of the Quartet, the huge Jingzhou has been surrounded, which is really no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to go down.
How to break?
Wang Yu groaned, and his group of ladies also showed worried looks. After all, the girls are not very old, and there are not too many jealousies and intrigues between adults, and their friendship with each other is very good and pure, knowing the importance of this matter to Huang Yueying, so they are all worried.
However, Huang Yueying herself is very open-minded, saying that she is a daughter who got married, and she will soon be a member of the Wang family, and she has no direct relationship with the Huang family, so she will not affect her father.
It can be said that she is a straightforward character, and the worries in her heart have turned into a thick melancholy, which is revealed between her bright eyes and eyebrows, but she can't hide it.
Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Wang Yu said slowly: "It seems that you can only take the waterway......
"Waterways? Walking from the river? Zhuge Liang was stunned.
Jingzhou's water system is developed, but there is only one waterway that can be connected with Qingzhou, which follows the southeast of the river and goes down the river, drives directly to the river, and then enters the sea along the Yangtze River waterway, and then goes to the East China Sea, Linhuai, or directly lands in the Guangling area. And now on the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong Naval Division has occupied a comprehensive upper hand, that is to say, this line of people wants to break through the entire water front in Jiangdong!
Is this possible?
"The odds of success on this route are indeed higher." Jia Xu bowed slightly, and agreed with Wang Yu's proposal: "Above the big river, it is vast and vast, how difficult is it to intercept one or several ships?" What's more, although the Jingzhou Navy Division was defeated, it had not yet been dispersed, it was only temporarily suppressed by the Jiangdong Navy Division, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both people who knew the soldiers, even if they had the intention to intercept, they would not divide the troops at will......"
"Even if there is a case, Sun Ce is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, and he has a domineering and straightforward temperament, he may not be able to do this dirty trick of kidnapping and blackmailing, it is always much better than breaking through from other routes." Jia Xu's tone is also low, no matter what, the risk cannot be completely avoided, it's just a matter of how much, and there is no way to do it.
"Lord, it's better for me to take this trip." Tai Shici didn't interject all the time, but at this time he took the initiative to ask.
Water warfare is not as good as land warfare, if you go by land, with a burden of carriages and horses, even if you are a fierce general like Tai Shici, after being discovered, I am afraid that you will only fall into a heavy siege and die in battle.
But the water war relies on ships, the breakthrough fleet goes downstream, and the river is unobstructed, even if it is discovered, the old and weak will not become a burden, in case the enemy attacks the ship, Tai Shi Ci can play a great role. Even so, this trip is still very dangerous, but Tai Shici's consistent style is fearless and fearless, and it is not surprising that you should fight at this moment.
"No, Ziyi, you can't go." Wang Yu looked at Tai Shici with a smile, very pleased, but the tone of refusal was categorical.
"But the lord ......"
Wang Yu waved his right hand to stop Tai Shici's arguments, but with his left hand, he took out a letter from his sleeve and said with an unfathomable smile: "First, your reputation is too obvious, and it is easy to cause trouble, and second, you may not have time to ...... time."
Tai Shi Ci's martial arts may not surpass Zhao Yun, but the latter's behavior is low-key, and he doesn't like to be in the limelight, far less conspicuous than Tai Shi Ci, so he is rumored to be the number one fierce general in Qingzhou. If Tai Shici made a move, once Sun Ce heard the rumors, he had no intention of intercepting it, and I am afraid that he would also go out in person, and the trouble would become bigger.
"What's more, before Ben proposed this plan, he already had a candidate in mind...... "Wang Yu casually put the letter on the table, and while holding the teacup, his fingers lightly tapped at the place where he fell.
Tai Shici and the others looked at it, but they were surprised to see Chun Yuqiong's name, and immediately shouted: "Is it him?" That waste snack? Lord, you won't be dazzled, will you? ”
"Ahem...... Wang Yu just took a sip of tea and almost squirted out the water, but he forgot that Ziyi was a straight line...... However, Chun Yuqiong was also one of the eight captains of the West Garden that year, how could her reputation be so bad?
"Look inside, inside!" The atmosphere that was so easy to condense disappeared all of a sudden, and Wang Yu couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
"Oh, inside." Tai Shi Ci took out the letter paper in a sloppy manner, filtered out Chun Yuqiong's rather literary words, and read out the main content in a loud voice: "...... The minister searched hard, but he never got anything, and he was ashamed of the prince and wanted to die...... However, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, relying on the prince Hongfu, and finally found a general in Linjiang, Ba County...... Well, he found a guy named Ganning......"
Tai Shi Ci turned his head and thought about it: "This name seems to be very familiar, by the way, there is this person's name on the hussar list, Gan Ning Gan Xingba, the ranking is one place below Wen Chang!" ”
Wang Yu smiled: "Yes, this is the person!" (To be continued......)
