Chapter 173 Qingzhou Raiders

"Speaking of which, this matter has a lot to do with Pengju...... you are not small," Wang Kuang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and began to tell

After befriending Wang Yu in sour jujube, Kong Rong and all the celebrities around him believed that close to Zhu Zhechi, his people had gained a lot of insight in the trip to sour jujube, especially in military strategy.

After returning to Beihai, it happened that Zhang Rao, the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou, gathered 200,000 people, entered the country of Kouqi in a big way, and besieged Linzi, the seat of Qingzhou governance. Thorn Shi Jiaohe could not resist, so he could only open an altar in the city and pray to the heavens.

Kong Rong, the minister of the North Sea, was appointed by Dong Zhuo, and he had not been in office for a long time, and more than half of his time was spent in sour dates, so this was the first time he had seen such an arrogant yellow scarf.

As a result, he was teased by the celebrities around him, his sense of mission awakened, and after returning to the city of Beihai, he immediately gathered the soldiers and horses of the whole county, a total of more than 30,000, and marched westward to fight with Zhang Rao under the city of Linzi.

That Zhang Rao is not a famous general, and the 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command are also counted in the old and weak, women and children, and the number of people on both sides seems to be very different, but in fact it is about the same. If you count the soldiers and horses in the besieged Linzi City, the strength of the official army is far superior.

However, whether it is Jiao He or Kong Rong, they are the most typical kind of celebrities in this era. That is: I don't have any ability, and I don't know how to use people. These two subordinate staff members talked about eight each, but once it fell into practice, eighty could not top one.

The perfect combination of inside and outside, Zhang Rao, who was broken by these two and was sandwiched, fought a beautiful battle of encirclement and reinforcements. The only thing to be thankful for is that Jiao He sent not many soldiers and horses to the city to respond, and after being defeated, Jiao He did not dare to let people open the city gate, and Linzi City was not lost.

couldn't capture Linzi, Zhang Rao was also very simple, he directly shifted the target, chased after Kong Rong and chased to Beihai, and chased the twentieth grandson of Confucius to the sky and the earth, and even lost the city where he was based, and fled to Zhuxu, so that he could be regarded as having a foothold.

"Fortunately, the city of Zhuxu is quite strong, and the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, Zhang Rao can't besiege it, so he can only stop troops outside the city. Now Kong Beihai is surrounded in Zhuxu, and I don't know what the end will be. ”

Kong Rong is surrounded? This part sounds familiar! Wang Yu's heart jumped violently when he heard this, was it ahead of schedule, or was the historical record not clear enough? If it's really the allusion you thought, maybe someone will come to the door soon!

Wang Yu hurriedly asked, "Is there a messenger from Beihai asking for help?" ”

"No, the harvest has just been harvested right now, and it is the most active time for the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, Zhang Rao has a lot of soldiers and horses, and he has surrounded Zhuxucheng, where can anyone come out? Zhu Xu is adjacent to Langya, even if Kong Beihai wants to ask for help, he should also ask Xuzhou for help, and he should not be willing to seek help. ”

Saying that, Wang Kuang sighed again: "As my father said before, the situation in Qingzhou is too chaotic, it is not difficult for you to defeat a few Yellow Turbans, but with only 8,000 men and horses, if you go deep into Qingzhou, it is easy to fall into a siege." Qingzhou here is not better than Luoyang, the mountains are continuous, there are many forests and hills, you can ambush everywhere, if you want to be calm, you must be surrounded and suppressed by the army on all sides. ”

Wang Kuang is very supportive of Wang Yu's decision-making, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is too serious, if they are allowed to wreak havoc, Qingzhou will not be able to recover for decades. In fact, the current Qingzhou is already very dilapidated, and when the territory of Qingzhou is completely ruined, the neighboring states may not be peaceful.

The Yellow Turban has already crisscrossed the country, and without this barrier, the peace of Mount Tai may also be broken. If there was no Wang Yu, Wang Kuang would naturally have nothing to do, but now that he has elite soldiers, he can think about things he didn't dare to think about before.

"Father also agrees to ignore the Yanzhou matter for the time being?" Before Wang Yu had time to discuss the matter, he just brought it up at the same time.

Wang Kuang replied without thinking: "Zhang Mengzhuo and I have been friends for many years, and now we are embarrassed, but it is not easy not to save it, my father's idea is that I will go to Yanzhou to help Zhang Mengzhuo succeed, and you will go to Qingzhou." ”

Looking at his demeanor, it was obvious that he had thought it through.

"Nope." Wang Yu can rest assured, Zhang Miao has to deal with Cao Cao, who is no longer good at stubble, and has the support of powerful factions like Liu Dai and Bao Xin behind him. If you want to go, you have to think again and again, and come up with a perfect plan before you dare to do it, with Zhang Miao and Dad, where can you deal with Cao Cao?

Judging from the history known to Wang Yu, Zhang Miao's plan should have failed, because he had no impression of Zhang Miao's deeds.

Of course, if you want to persuade Wang Kuang, you can't use this reason, you have to use a more clever one, Wang Yu decided to tell his father about the general trend of the world.

"Father, Cao Cao's entry into Yanzhou, with Yuan Shao's promotion behind him and Liu Dai's acquiescence, although Uncle Zhang has some prestige in Yanzhou, how can he be worthy of the tripartite joint efforts? You should try to persuade him to forbear for a while. ”

"Liu Gongshan acquiesced because of the Black Mountain thief's entry! And the Black Mountain thief was clearly secretly planned by Cao Mengde! As long as someone points it out in front of him, Liu Gongshan is not a stupid person, how can he not see through it? Yuan Benchu's support is even more nonsense, Yuan Benchu put the Bohai Sea under his jurisdiction and did not return, and has been stranded in Hanoi, secretly plotting a great rebellion, how can he support others to enter the East County? ”

Wang Kuang shook his head again and again, but he didn't believe it.

"Father, Liu Dai raised troops in Sour Zao without authorization, killed Qiao Mao, and appointed Wang Qiu as the Taishou of Dongjun without authorization, which shows that his ambition is not small, and he has already secretly become unsubordinate. Cao Cao deliberately let the Black Mountain Army cross the border, and then followed him in, how could he not see the reason? So letting the other party do what he did was just a disappointment in Wang Qiu and wanted to use Cao Cao as a helper. ”

"As for Yuan Shao, he clearly wants to praise Liu Yu as the emperor, but in fact, he is a drunkard, and he doesn't mean to drink......"

Wang Yu sneered and said Yuan Shao's analysis of his plot against Jizhou, and then said: "My father has an upright temperament, and these ghosts' scheming are really insignificant, but if you can't see it, it is easy to be plotted. ”

"Phew!" Wang Kuang gasped and said in disbelief: "Pengju, aren't you alarmist?" There is so much to think about? ”

"What's more?"

Wang Yu has always had a headache about how to deal with the relationship with Wang Kuang, and even dispelled the idea of welcoming the Son of Heaven back to Taishan. This dad is good at everything, but he is too stubborn and too unsophisticated, he doesn't look like a politician at all, and he is very similar to the king Chao Gai in the Water Margin, just a Ren Xia's temper.

Wang Yu didn't want to openly seize power or set up his father, that would hurt his feelings too much, and it would also violate filial piety, but he couldn't let his father toss around. With Daddy's political wisdom, he can't fight those real heroes at all, and it's easy to poke out a big basket.

Therefore, with Zhang Miao's invitation, Wang Yu planned to teach his father a good lesson, let him know the gap between himself and the heroes, and completely dispel the idea of continuing to be in power.

"Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are half-brothers and are famous, these two have long held back their strength to fight. Now Yuan Shao is plotting Jizhou, Yuan Shu is plotting Jingzhou, and as soon as the result comes out, the two are bound to go to war with each other, Yanzhou is the battlefield for them to compete, and Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's vanguard against his brothers. ”

The corners of Wang Yu's mouth twitched, overflowing with a hint of danger, and he smiled meaningfully: "Father, think about it, what is it that our Wang family is involved in at this time?" Do you want to open the way for Yuan Shu? Or is it like some people, standing in the most dangerous place, to stop the war with a war? ”

Wang Kuang didn't know that Wang Yu remembered Xu Rong, he was just shocked by the situation in the Central Plains exposed by Wang Yu, he never thought that it was just the internal problems of Yanzhou that were so widely implicated.

A chill ran down his spine, and cold sweat trickled down his face, he was indeed not a person who did big things.

"Gongjie, at your age, don't get involved in those intrigues." Cai Yong spoke at the right time: "I think the idea of the academy that Peng Ju Shicai said is very good, why don't you come to help, if this matter is successful, it will also be a merit for a thousand years, and it will also contribute to the revival of the Han Dynasty." ”

"That's what Brother Bo said."

Wang Kuang responded with a wry smile, thought about it, and then advised: "Pengju, you see things clearly, far above your father, these military strategies, your father will not participate much, just take care of some trivial matters in the county for you, and then slowly hand over after you have a suitable candidate." However, you must not take the matter of Qingzhou lightly. ”

"Yes, father." Wang Yu bowed down and said: "Regarding how to pacify Qingzhou, Yu already has some calculations in his heart, and today I just asked my father and the gentlemen to take a closer look." ”

"Already?" Wang Yu's efficiency shocked everyone, it was only a day after arriving in Mount Tai, and even before Mount Tai's intelligence was collected, he already had a plan to attack Qingzhou, what kind of speed is this?

"It's just a rough plan, and there are a lot of preparations to be made, far from the specific implementation ......."

Wang Yu nodded and said: "The current intelligence shows that Qingzhou is very chaotic, the Qingzhou thief army is all locals, more familiar with geography, and the engagement is unfavorable...... In addition, the recovered places have to be garrisoned, and if you rush into the army, let alone 8,000, even 80,000 soldiers may not be enough. ”

He held up a finger and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, the best way is not to take the initiative to attack Qingzhou, but to lure the snakes out of the hole and fight them on the battlefield we preset." ”

"Bring to Tarzan? Can it be successful? ”

"Even if we don't lead them, they will come sooner or later."

Wang Yu said in a very certain tone: "Although the Yellow Turbans were rampant before, they rarely attacked the county city, let alone the state city, because they didn't have siege equipment, and there was no way to take the thick walls of the strong city. But now, they have begun to besiege Linzi, Wenhe, what do you think this means? ”

"Either they have enough strength and appetite, or they are already running out of supplies, or both."

Jia Xu replied fluently, and then changed his words: "But, my lord, even so, there are many routes that Qingzhou Yellow Turbans can choose from, such as crossing the river to Jizhou, or attacking Jibei from Jinan, and then attacking Dongjun and joining the Black Mountain thieves, how can you make sure that they come to Mount Tai?" ”

After a slight pause, Jia Xu added: "Although the lord's strategy is correct, but how huge is the number of yellow turbans in Qingzhou, once it starts to move, can it be defeated by the current soldiers and horses, and gathered and annihilated?" ”

"Well, it's up to everyone to use their brains together." (To be continued.)
