Chapter 561: Horror Combo
Yishan is known as East Taishan or Little Taishan, Zang Ba and others raised troops in Langya State, but they were called Taishan thieves, which is for this reason.
Although it is a mountainous area, it is not closed, there are many rivers such as Shushui, Juyangshui, Zishui, Wenshui, Weishui, etc., which originate here, and there is Yishui that connects the counties in the north of Xuzhou to flow through, as long as the passage is not a large group of people, in fact, here is a place where the traffic is quite convenient.
The shortcut chosen by Wang Yu was to go upriver from Qi along the giant ocean water, then cross the path between the mountains to reach the Yishui Basin, and finally follow the Yishui all the way south to reach the destination of Tan County.
Although this path is a bit rough, the terrain in this area is like this, even if you take other routes, you will inevitably toss between the mountains, how can it be convenient to take a straight line?
Another advantage is that the scenery on the road is excellent, if it weren't for Wang Yu's heart, this trip would have a lot of taste of sightseeing.
As far as the eye can see, the continuous mountains are romantic and full of spring, dotted with wild forests and sparse trees and lingering rivers and streams, and the deep valley has become beautiful.
Waterfalls and flowing springs everywhere, strange peaks show out, haunt the forest from time to time, look at Wang Yu and his party with curious eyes, when Wang Yu and others raise their eyes to look back, and quickly run away all kinds of small beasts, the beauty of nature without any modification makes people leisurely and fascinated.
Wang Yu's face was leisurely, and Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang also felt dizzying.
Especially the latter, although he is not very old, he migrated from Langya to Yuzhang in a few years, and then from Yuzhang to Jingzhou, and finally made a big circle and returned to his hometown. For a while, the young man also had a kind of sigh for the impermanence of the world, as well as a sense of timidity in his hometown, so that he ignored the movements around him. There is no time to ask Wang Yu for advice or find fault.
Wang Yu didn't have time to pay attention to them at this time, but looked at a majestic young man beside him with curiosity, and Zhang Jaw rode his horse on the other side, and was introducing to Wang Yu: "Xiang is a well-known ranger in Ju County, although he is young, but his reputation is not small. Recruiting Talent ......"
If you want to unify the world and govern the world, it is not enough to rely on the famous generals in history, and there is a saying in later generations: history is constructed by countless unknown people.
What's more, Wang Yu is a pseudo-Three Kingdoms fan. Reading novels is just looking at the general outline, and the content I remember is less than the outline, to put it bluntly, it is a lively look. He copied down a hundred and ten names from his memories, which sounded like a lot, but in fact, it was just that.
Many of them have been recruited by him, and most of those who have not been recruited have their own owners. Due to the concept of governance, value orientation and other reasons, it is unlikely that they want to poach, and the so-called hussar list is becoming more and more famous. But the effectiveness is decreasing.
In fact, some of the names in the list can't be found at all, such as Jiang Wei, who Wang Yu wrote after Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang's successor has not been born at all. Wang Yu wrote it down casually. As a result, the spies in Qingzhou were busy, because this name ranked second on the list. The evaluation is still above Tai Shici, and it must be the focus of the search!
As a result, the main root did not exist, and the search place was still a desolate place like Tianshui, and the secret agents assigned to this task were miserable, and they even had the intention of hanging.
With such a big plate in Qingzhou, of course Wang Yu can't just rely on a single way to search for talents, Taishan Academy and the Zhaoxian Hall in Zhangjaw's mouth are his remedies, or it should be said, a formal way to recruit talents.
In fact, as early as the beginning of the implementation of the Qingzhou New Deal, the recruitment system that was somewhat similar to the imperial examination in later generations had been launched, and Mi Zhen entered the shogunate through this way. However, due to the existence of Taishan Academy, many scholars who come here are more willing to study in the advanced academy, and then come out to do things, which greatly dilutes the role of the recruitment order.
The Taixue institution of the Han Dynasty was similar to the later Guozijian or Central University, and those who studied in it were considered protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven in a sense.
Taishan Academy was founded by Wang Yu himself, presiding over the overall situation of the academy, and it is also a heavyweight like his father-in-law Cai Yong and his wife Cai Yan.
Therefore, the effect of the recruitment order has not been highlighted, but the list of hussars has been hyped up, and Taishan Academy is booming, which is the unexpected result of Wang Yu and Tian Feng and other initiators.
Despite this, the recruitment order has always existed, and after the expansion of Qingzhou's territory, the audit agency of the recruitment order is no longer limited to the capital Gaotang, but there are recruitment halls in the governance offices of each county, which is responsible for the preliminary review and evaluation of the recruited talents.
Zhang Jaw is a military general, of course, he will not be involved in administrative affairs, but occasionally a martial artist comes to recruit, and the officials of the Zhaoxian Pavilion still have to rely on his vision.
Xiang was too young, only fourteen years old, and although the officials of the Zhaoxian Pavilion did not slow down him, they also used this as an excuse to persuade him to go home and wait for a few more years, or go to the academy to sign up and learn some military tactics first. But he refused, claiming to be proficient in martial arts, a little familiar with the art of war, even if he could not be a general, he could also be a general, and everyone saw that he was interesting, so they took the school exam......"
The crowd deliberately let him retreat in the face of difficulties, and brought the two heaviest stone locks over, saying that if he could carry any of the school yards to walk around, he would pass the test. As a result, he lifted the two sixty-pound stone locks used for training strength at the same time, and played a whole circle on the school field when the hammer was wielded! β
Zhang Jaw's words were a little embarrassed, and said: "A hero is a young man, and at his age, he doesn't have such strength. β
"General Zhang is too modest, Sheng is just a moment of blood and energy, relying on a bit of brute force, reckless, you say so, Sheng is really ......" The young man was a little restrained in front of Wang Yu, and then he was so praised by Zhang Jaw, and his embarrassed jade face was red, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, if he wasn't riding on a horse, he might trip when he walked.
Wang Yu waved his hand, signaling that the other party did not need to be nervous, as if listening to a story, and asked with interest: "What happened?" β
Although it was the first time they met, he was no stranger to the young man in front of him, Xu Sheng and Xu Xiang, but the general of Eastern Wu, especially in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, was a very brilliant general.
It's just that Wang Yu doesn't know much about him. thought that the other party was also in a similar situation to Jiang Wei, so he didn't let people look for it at all. Who knew that the other party suddenly appeared like this, and there was an intersection with Zhang Jaw first.
"Everyone was shocked and notified the last general, and the last general was happy to see the hunt for a while, and he fought a few tricks...... "Zhang Jaw made an evaluation with a full face: "The work immediately and step down is very solid, and with time, it will be another tiger general under the command of the lord." β
"Sheng only made twenty moves under General Zhang, but General Zhang still had the heart to give in...... Only I have seen it. Only then did I realize how ridiculous my previous arrogance was. Xu Sheng said half explaining, half sighing.
His appearance evoked the memories of Wang Yu's youth. Young people don't know what it's like to be sad, especially some people who have collars, all of them have higher hearts than the sky. It wasn't until I encountered an insurmountable mountain that I suddenly discovered the truth that there are people outside the world.
Some people will sink and give up on themselves, while others will be brave and more motivated.
Xu Sheng shouldn't need to worry about himself, after all, he is a famous figure in history, and his perseverance and courage will definitely not be bad. All it takes is time.
After thinking about it, Wang Yu made a decision: "Jun Yi, let Xiang follow you, start with the personal guard." If you have merit in the future, you will be your lieutenant. β
"Thank you, lord!" Zhang Jaw and Xu Shengju were all overjoyed.
The former cherishes Xu Sheng's talent and has the heart to accept a disciple, but Wang Yu cannot approve it. After all, I dare not exceed the rules; The latter had seen Zhang Jaw's martial arts and art of war, and he had long admired it. He hoped to start from the army, and he didn't want to waste time going to the academy to study, so it was naturally perfect to be taught by Zhang Jaw's side.
While speaking, Zhao Yun, who had been silent, suddenly rode his horse and approached, and called softly: "Lord......"
Wang Yu turned to Zhao Yun, only to see that the other party's expression was quite solemn, and said in a deep voice: "It's already the fifth batch, I'm afraid the thieves are about to be unable to hold back!" β
Zhao Yun said in vague terms, but everyone present understood what he meant at the first time.
Since Wang Yu went south and entered the mountains, he has been being spied on along the way, sometimes sporadic sentry agents, and sometimes people and horses above the scale approaching!
These abnormalities all fell in Zhao Yun's eyes.
If it is studied thoroughly, Zhao Yun's intuition of special functions is actually not so superb, it is just the buff effect brought by keen observation. Zhao Yun's shyness is completely different from Pang Tong's, he doesn't talk much because he is observing the environment, people, and other things at all times.
If Zhuge Liang's brain is like a central computer, Zhao Yun's observation power is like an intelligent high-definition camera, as long as the field of vision is reached, even the slightest abnormal situation cannot escape his eyes.
Like an eagle, in this era, Zhao Yun is the best scout and vanguard general. If he were placed in the next generation, Wang Yu could easily make him the world's number one sniper.
Therefore, although they are in the mountains, the movements of the bandits are also very secretive, but all their reconnaissance and temptations are well known to Wang Yu, relying on Zhao Yun's sharp eyes.
"It's weird." Wang Yu touched his chin, a little puzzled.
For the Taishan thief, if he can ambush himself, he will definitely make a lot of money, not to mention the credit, and it is not difficult to take the opportunity to become a real prince. But the problem is that the best way to ambush is to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared, rather than startling them.
This reconnaissance and temptation before and after, even if Zhao Yun is not there, ordinary scouts can detect most of them, Zang Ba and those people are desperate to make such a battle, what is the matter?
"Maybe it's trying to force our army to retreat and detour, so as to make a name for itself?" With Wang Yu's approval, Xu Sheng was also active a lot, and was the first to say his speculation.
"No, it won't." Zhuge Liang shook his head, "Zang Ba is a native of Taishan, and he has been paying attention to the prince since he returned to Qingzhou, he should know the prince very well, and he will not be so naΓ―ve." Maybe he just wanted to use this to disturb our army, to achieve the effect of all the grass and trees, and finally launched it in one fell swoop? After all, it is still in Dongguan, and General Zhang's foot soldiers can come to respond at any time. β
Zhangjaw's strategy against Langya is mainly to encircle, the Yimeng Mountains are too big, 8,000 soldiers sounds like a lot, if it is really spilled, 80,000 people may not be enough. Of course, a veteran general like him would not make the mistake of dispersing his forces at will and being broken by each other, and his army of 8,000 was divided into four routes, stationed on several key roads, supporting each other, and forming a blockade line.
On the road that Wang Yu chose now, there was a battalion of his soldiers and horses stationed in Dong'an City.
"Actually, there is an idea ...... the end" There were different opinions, and Zhang Jaw also put forward his own ideas, he looked at Wang Yu, and then at Xu Sheng, and briefly said the plan.
"Xiang Wuyi is good, and his body shape is quite similar to the lord, if he is used as a stand-in, leaving the brigade and sneaking in secret, it is likely to attract the attention of the bandits, and when the bandits make a big move, our army can gather and annihilate them...... It is not known what will happen to the Lord. β
It's a one-size-fits-all approach, and there's a high probability of success. Xu Sheng is new and not known to the outside world, with his martial arts, if he is discovered by the bandits and tempted, it is likely to give the other party the impression that Wang Yu left the brigade and secretly Chen Cang.
As long as the Qingzhou Army takes advantage of this situation and makes proper arrangements, it can compress the risk to a very low level and successfully complete the goal.
Of course, Xu Sheng, who was on the task of luring the enemy, must be very dangerous. However, looking at Xu Sheng's eager look, and the solemnity when he spoke to Zhang Jaw, there should be no obstacle in the subjective aspect.
Wang Yu nodded noncommittally, and suddenly turned to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, what do you think?" β
Zhao Yun shook his head slowly, and what he said was also to the point: "Sneaking in the dark is not like your style, and the thieves may not be fooled." β
"What's more......" Another voice sounded at the same time, and Pang Tong said with some hesitation: "The thieves have other plans, maybe there are masters behind their backs, and they may be self-defeating." β
Zhang Jaw frowned slightly, not annoyed, but reflecting, Wang Yu saw that it was Pang Tong, and smiled gently: "Shi Yuan, then what do you think the thieves have to arrange?" β
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. Pang Tong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "However, the true intentions of the thieves must be hidden under this series of harassing behaviors, but they are closely related to them. β
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he continued: "Shi Yuan's words are reasonable, and if you think about it deeply, there are a total of thirteen strategies that thieves can take, and the one with the highest probability is ......."
The two teenagers said in unison: "Sound the east and the west!" β
"What a sound." Wang Yu smiled. Zhao Yun, who is discerning, plus the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, even if the latter two have not grown up, this combination is also terrifying. If you want to play tricks in front of them, let alone a thief, or a master behind the scenes, even if you can't do it yourself.
It seems that someone is really going to be self-defeating.
