Chapter 192: The situation in the world is surging
"This battle can be won thanks to Ziyu, this glass of wine will be honored by Ziyu!"
After a great victory in the first battle, and most of the poisoning tumors of the army under this special selection this time have been removed, Wei Tao couldn't help but feel relieved, and immediately picked up a glass of wine at the celebration banquet to salute him.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Zhuge Jin also deserves this glass of wine, this time it is not only him who personally gives advice, but also he personally contacts Yuan Shang, and finally makes a plan for Yuan Shang.
Sure enough, Yuan Shang acted according to the plan, and when Yuan Tan led the troops to charge, he could make the people in the rear army slow down, and let Zhang He lead the troops to rush in.
"This is also that Yuan Tan, if Yuan Shao is replaced, I am afraid it will not be as brave as Yuan Tan, with the situation at that time, if Yuan Tan can personally lead the personal guards up, it will not be difficult to resist for a while, and the commander will go into battle in person, and the rest of the Yuan army will also flock up, and the situation will be especially unknown at that time."
After Zhuge Jin drank the wine, he sighed a little.
"Yuan Benchu is also a hero, and his family background is even extraordinary, but it's a pity that he has a son like this, it's really sad and lamentable!"
Hearing this, everyone in the tent nodded, as a son of man, he did not resist foreign enemies, but treated his brother as an enemy, how not to make people sigh?
"If it weren't for that, I'm afraid even if it was me, I would only be defeated here, and I wouldn't dare to stretch my ambitions!"
Wei Tao laughed loudly at the moment, this time the troops entered Jizhou, and Wei Tao did not think that he could annex three counties in a row for a while.
Originally, in Wei Tao's view, he had some foundations in Changshan, so he used this force to capture Changshan, and then confronted Yuan Jun to watch the movements of Yuan Jun.
But things went so well. It was really out of Wei Tao's expectations.
But that's it. There was also a consequence. That is, Wei Tao's foundation is unstable and people's hearts are not attached.
If it weren't for the fact that the Jizhou Black Mountain Army and the Yuan Army all had a large number of soldiers, I am afraid that Wei Tao would not even be enough to defend the city, so although it was a wine banquet, after drinking a few glasses, Wei Tao still spoke.
"It's in my favor right now. Zhang Liao, Pan Feng, Zhuge Jin, I ordered the three of you to guard the river, and Zhang Liao was the too guard of the river. In charge of all affairs, Pan Feng assisted Zhang Liao as the deputy general, and Zhuge Jin gave advice to the military advisor. Remember, don't just stare at Yuan's army, as far as I know, the battle of Beiping will be over in the near future, and it is not known what will happen to the Montenegrin army at that time. ”
"No!"
Hearing Wei Tao's order, everyone stopped the cups in their hands, and Zhang Liao and the three of them even got up to respond.
"Xu Huang is Changshan Taishou. Lead Pan Zhang to guard Changshan for me, and Changshan was originally under my rule. Although he has been incured for many years, his connections are still there, and he cannot live up to my hopes. ”
"No!"
As for Zhongshan County, Wei Tao is ready to defend it personally, and has just defeated the three counties of Jizhou, Wei Tao is not at ease if he is not here, and although Yuan Jun retreats, he may come again at any time.
However, although Jizhou is important, the same is true of the merger, and it is impossible for Wei Tao to leave it alone, after a little thought, Wei Tao just looked at Zhou Yu.
"Gong Jin, although I have ordered Yu Ban and other generals to garrison and merge the state these days, but the merger of the state is big but no one has presided over it for a day, and now that the war is deadlocked, you are returning to the town with Zilong to guard the state and merge the state. It is extremely important to merge with the state, and I will grant you the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, and if the matter is urgent, you don't have to report it to me, you can decide for yourself! ”
Hearing Wei Tao say this, all the generals in the tent showed envy and the right to be arbitrary, which can show Wei Tao's deep trust in Zhou Yu.
"No!"
This promise was extremely powerful, revealing Zhou Yu's excitement.
Zhou Yu is resourceful, elegant and open-minded, and it is rare for him to lose his temper like this, which shows that he was also moved by what Wei Tao said.
"Huh...... Generals don't have to be like this, come! Drink this cup again! ”
Wei Tao smiled again as soon as everything was done, and then raised a glass to invite a drink, which made the atmosphere in the tent warm again.
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Yuan Jun has no time to pay attention to Wei Tao during this period of time.
Yuan Tan's prestige was greatly lost after being cheated by Yuan Shang once, but after all, he was the eldest son of the Yuan family, and he still had quite prestige in the army, so he was fighting with Yuan Shang for military power.
But I have to say that although Yuan Shang's ability to march and fight is not as good as Yuan Tan's, he has other means in such matters, and he is inseparable from Yuan Tan for a while, even the strategists supported by the two of them, as for Wei Tao, everyone is temporarily ignored.
However, at this time, as long as Yuan Jun did not take the initiative to attack, then Wei Tao did not have time to pay attention to Yuan Jun.
Because at this time, the general trend of the world is changing again.
The first is that Gongsun Chan was officially defeated and died by self-immolation in his mansion, and many of his generals, except for Liu Guanzhang and the others, were all captured by the Montenegrin army.
It is said that when Liu Guanzhang and the three of them were in the city, they led their men and horses to kill and run out directly, and they did not know their whereabouts after the most ruin.
But even so, the Montenegrin Army also officially occupied a state, and now the Montenegrin Army is also the official appointment of the imperial court to Youzhou Mu, and it is justifiable to lead Youzhou.
If it was in the past, Youzhou was still vast and sparsely populated, but for the Montenegrin Army, which evolved from the Yellow Turban Army, population has never been a problem, and I don't know what method it used, and many people just flowed into Youzhou.
The Montenegrin army is so powerful, for Wei Tao, it is a problem for the abdomen.
At the same time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also made moves, and Cao Cao raised troops into Qingzhou on the grounds that Qingzhou was a Yellow Turban Rebellion and Qingzhou Mutian Kai could not defend the palace.
Qingzhou Makita Kai was frightened, and asked for help by letter everywhere, Kong Rong, Yuan Shao, and even Wei Tao also received it.
But at this time, all the princes have either just finished fighting, or it is a war, how can they draw up their forces to rescue each other?
Moreover, Wei Tao can predict that with Tian Kai's weakness, it is likely that he will fall into the hands of Cao Cao, and then Cao Cao will be able to occupy the two states.
Although Yanzhou and Qingzhou are not as large as Jizhou and Bingzhou, they are located near the Central Plains, and they are the places where the channels are unblocked, and the soldiers must fight for the place.
At the same time, Yuan Shao was not bad at divisiveness, after all, he let Lu Bu and Yuan Shu part ways, let Lu Bu occupy Xuzhou, and threaten Cao Cao's side at the same time when the threat to his own army was lifted.
Then Yuan Shao ordered Kong Rong's troops to be the vanguard of the emperor's order, and spent Kong Rong's troops to attack Yuan's art, and as the land of Xuzhou fell into the hands of Lu Bu, Kong Rong's strength became weaker and weaker.
Liu Xie, the son of heaven, couldn't, in order to preserve Kong Rong's remaining strength, he hurriedly ordered Yuan Shao to temporarily suspend his army, and at the same time crowned Yuan Shao as an auxiliary general, so that Yuan Shao could sit in the subordinate.
Yuan Shao actually didn't want to start a war with Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu fought with each other, and even water and fire were incompatible.
But compared with Yuan Shu's narrow-mindedness, Yuan Shao has a more overall view and can see that the general trend of the world is gradually changing.
If the troops are wasted here in vain, and they are not allowed to occupy one place, then for Yuan Shao, it will be a great damage.
Therefore, after forcing the Son of Heaven to compromise through Kong Rong, Yuan Shao did not do much prevarication, and immediately led the troops back to Sili and sat in Chang'an.
I have to say that as soon as Yuan Shao broke away from the war, he posed a great threat to Wei Tao, making it difficult for Wei Tao to be safe.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao has been fighting several times, and his own strength has also been damaged, and he can no longer use his sword in a short period of time.
But Yuan Shao is also worthy of being Yuan Shao, a masterpiece of a generation, compared to Cao Cao, who is also smaller, but the method of using politics is by no means inferior.
After sitting in Chang'an, Yuan Shao issued an edict by the order of the Son of Heaven, ordering the princes of the world to nominate talents to enter the court, and even pretended to use the order of the Son of Heaven to make the confidants of all the princes love to enter the court as officials, and the officials he sealed are not low.
Since Wei Tao is at war with Yuan Shao, he is naturally the most favored by Yuan Shao, from Wenchen to military generals, as long as there is some fame, almost no one is missed, only Gao Ran, Zhang He is a rebel general of the Yuan army, Yuan Shao can't wipe his face, but he is 'spared'.
"What a Yuan Shao, if there is such a good name and fortune, wouldn't it directly cause the princes of the world to collapse? At that time, he will not only have the Son of Heaven, but also be assisted by Wenchen and military generals, at least Yuan Shao's position as the third prince is indispensable. ”
After receiving a bunch of orders, Wei Tao couldn't help but sigh.
"Yuan Benchu is also very bold, isn't he afraid that all the heroes are really voting for the Son of Heaven, but they will set it up in the air?"
Xun You couldn't help but shake his head, he also understood the pros and cons of Yuan Shao's approach, but I have to say that this approach is very effective.
"If so, the lord ......"
"It doesn't matter, all my men are trustworthy people, and I will pass this order down, and make it clear for me that if anyone wants to stay, they can stay as long as they want, and I will not stop it."
Although Wei Tao is like this, many generals under his command are nowhere to go, even Pan Zhang, who values fame and fortune the most, refuses when he thinks of Wei Tao's ambition that day.
Wei Tao can do this here, but not elsewhere.
In fact, although the majesty of the Han Dynasty has been trampled on repeatedly, the prestige of the Han Dynasty is still there, so there are still people who vote for it, and for a while, Yuan Shao's name is better than Yuan Shu, who was called the emperor for a short time.
As for Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, I have to say that although he still has Kong Rong's loyal assistance, in the face of Yuan Shao's aggressiveness, he has little power to return to heaven, especially Situ Wang Yun, who is even more empty and incapable.
Just when the heroes in the north were fighting and the war was raging, the land south of the Yangtze River was also very restless, Sun Ce moved troops again and again, although there was no help from Zhou Yu, but Sun Ce had to meet Lu Su, Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao and other people to assist.
Under the recommendation of these strategists, Sun Ce fought again and again, and successively conquered several cities, almost without opponents, and had the potential to defend Eastern Wu, and the name of Jiangdong's little overlord has been famous in Jiangdong.
The situation in the world is surging, all the princes are forging ahead, Wei Tao has achieved great development at the same time, other princes are not slow, they are all developing rapidly.
Wei Tao had to work hard. (To be continued......)
