Chapter 781 Good intentions
"Liaodong Taishou lives in the border area for a long time, Xing is fierce, and the Central Plains are very different, and his experience is very special, and he has obtained the inheritance of the pre-Qin Mo family, if he is sent by ordinary methods, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the expectations of the lord. If there is a slight carelessness, the war may expand to the entire Liaodong, which will greatly hinder the great plan of the lord. ”
"Wen Yuan's words are reasonable." Wang Yu nodded, agreed with Zhang Liao's analysis, and asked, "So, this unconventional way of sending ......?"
Zhang Liao replied: "Liao tasted that the lord was in Huainan last year, and sent Lu Zijing to Shouchun, called the envoy, but it was just perfunctory in the open, but secretly it took a lot of thought, it can be described as a two-pronged approach, and successfully subdued the stupid and stupid Yuan Shu, and the last general thought that the matter of today's ri, and when the ri is quite a little similar, I don't know how the lord will be?" ”
"Well, if you don't say it, Ben will almost forget, it's a bit like that." Wang Yu touched his chin and remembered.
When Li Tao Qian died of illness, he rode south, Yuan Shu was instigated by others, and felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he did a lot of tricks and feet in the open. His plot is nothing remarkable, and it was easily broken, but the trouble afterwards was not small.
If he asks the teacher for guilt and suppresses him with force, Yuan Shu's temper may become annoyed and angry, and the two families will fight.
Yuan Shu didn't know how to train soldiers, and he didn't have the patience to train Jing Rui, so although the Huainan army had a large number of people, they all recruited and rebelled, and their combat power was very ordinary, so they were not to be feared. However, if he underestimated Yuan Shu because of this and mobilized the main force to attack Huainan, he would fall into a quagmire.
Wang Yu has not forgotten that in history, Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and was besieged by Cao Sun Liu and Lu Bu, although Yuan Shu collapsed, but a fact that cannot be ignored is that under the siege of this luxurious lineup, he actually survived.
Whether it is his tenacity and super strength, or because of Huainan's geographical advantage, Wang Yu doesn't want to delve into it, but he can be sure that the Huainan army is not as easy to deal with as he imagined, and if he fights Huainan, it will be a pit!
So he discussed it with Lu Su, using Qingzhou's intelligence system, combined with the opportunity of the envoy, to give Yuan Shu a bottom-up two-pronged plan. In the end, he used both soft and hard, and while saving face for Yuan Shu, he successfully persuaded Yuan Shu to pull him back into the Qingzhou camp.
After the matter passed, Wang Yu himself would definitely not forget it, but he didn't expect Zhang Liao to remember it so clearly, and it looked like he had put a lot of effort into research.
After Zhang Liao's prompt, Wang Yu thought about it and felt that it made sense, and muttered: "Build an embassy in Liaodong too?" This is a way, instead of talking about the sky, it is better to speak with the facts, put out the attitude, and remind a few words when it is critical...... It's just that in this way, Wen Yuan, the burden on your shoulders will be heavy. ”
"Liao is a foolish person, who will not give up by the lord, and is simply drawn out of the ranks, how dare he not do his best to plan for the lord?" Zhang Liao bowed and clenched his fists, and said loudly: "The last general is willing to make a military order, this victory is not to be said, only a little fall into the prestige of my hussars, I will come to see it!" ”
"Eh, where is it so serious? If there is disharmony, it is also a problem with the general's vision, not to mention the war, seven points lie in the advance planning, and three points are the battle for ......glory."
Wang Yu has never felt anything about such things as military orders, but he also knows that this is the usual way for martial artists to show their determination in this era, so he didn't say much, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't talk about these vain, you are the chief general of the Eastern Crusade, since you are sure, then follow your routine." ”
"Zhang Liao thank you!"
The two of them asked and answered quickly, and some of the others listened to it well, but some of them were ignorant.
Tai Shi Ci belonged to the latter, he leaned to his side, leaned into Zhao Yun's ear, and asked softly, "Zilong, what did the lord and Wen Yuan say?" How can it be good, suddenly there is a military order? Isn't it just to send a messenger, it's so complicated? ”
"The little brother just listened to a rough ......" Zhao Yun listened very carefully and subconsciously replied.
"Just tell me about it." Tai Shi Ci didn't dislike it.
Zhao Yun explained in a low voice: "General Wenyuan's meaning seems to be to leave Liaodong alone before the war, and send the envoy over, but he will not do too much communication, nor will he force Liaodong Taishou to express his position, and when the Eastern Crusade is over and he has witnessed the combat strength of our army, he should know the current affairs......
"Isn't that the same thing I said?" Tai Shi Ci scratched the back of his head, feeling a little wronged, how could he say the same thing, and the treatment would be so bad?
"That's different." Zhao Yun shook his head: "Big brother, you just blindly show strength, ignore what Liaodong Taishou thinks, it should be enough to use your method to deal with the Hu people, but Liaodong Taishou is not a Hu person, it is easy to backfire." General Wen Yuan's method is that the two sides have always maintained communication, and the envoy sent only explains and feeds back the information at the same time, and will not force persuasion......
“…… I still don't hear the difference. Tai Shi Ci was confused.
"There must be a difference, it's just that the younger brother is clumsy, and he can't explain it clearly for a while." Zhao Yun is not very good at this kind of fighting, and it is a little difficult to ask him to explain the general meaning, let him analyze all the truths in it, "In short, if you do this, the battle will become very difficult, because there is no way to determine the true intentions of Liaodong Taishou." ”
"I understand this." Tai Shi Ci just didn't understand politics, but he didn't have any obstacles to understanding things related to the war.
In Zhang Liao's plan, the Eastern Expeditionary Army must always guard against Liaodong, but it must not overstimulate the Liaodong Army, lest the two armies misfire, as if they were tying one arm and fighting against others, it will definitely be a loss.
As for why he won the battle like this, he was more able to convince Gongsun Du, but I don't know what the truth is. Tai Shi Ci is not entangled, anyway, the lord nodded in approval, it should make sense.
"In this way, the envoy doesn't have to look for it, just go to Liaodong with the ship as the person in charge of maritime trade......" Wang Yu looked around, his eyes fell on the old man Li Shiyi, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to order.
"The ancients said: Virtuous do not avoid relatives." Zhang Liao suddenly took a step forward and said, "If you get the permission of the lord, you will want to protect one person ......."
"Oh?" Wang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his head to look at the pro-soldier team, he knew who Zhang Liao wanted to recommend, and he also knew the reason why the other party did this.
As long as the princes who are a little looking forward to the future, they will not bear the reputation of beheading and harming the virtuous at the same time, even if they do not consider the retaliation of the other party, this is also a thing that outweighs the loss.
Therefore, in history, You Heng scolded Cao Cao Cao, and offended Liu Biao in his words, and no one killed him, because these two are people who cherish feathers. Both of them used the same method, to lead the way to the east, and directly throw the scourge to others to deal with, in order to protect their reputation.
This time, if Lu Su or Kong Rong sent an envoy under the banner of Qingzhou's envoy, even if Gongsun Du finally decided to be an enemy of Qingzhou, he would not turn his face and kill people, but would only send him out of the country. Especially Kong Rong, his identity as a grandson of Confucius in his thirties is really a protective talisman, and no one will be willing to touch him easily.
But if you send a lesser-known military general to Liaodong as an unofficial envoy, then the result is difficult to say.
Zhang Liao obviously didn't want Li Shiyi and the others to take risks, so he rushed ahead of Wang Yu and pushed his clan brother out, which can be described as well-intentioned.
"That's it." Wang Yu sighed lightly and did not dissuade him, whose life is also his life, he can't favor one over the other, right?
Moreover, in addition to the above reasons, objectively speaking, Zhang Fang is indeed quite suitable. This person has a good personality, clear thinking, and even more rare is the ability to draw inferences. Because of his status as a pro-soldier, he has been listening to Pingbei Ce since he first proposed it, and he has a deep understanding of it, and he is indeed a good candidate.
Today, everyone gathered to welcome Zhao Yun's victory, but it turned out to be an informal military discussion. Wang Yu made a decision, and whether they were involved or not, all the generals also felt a strong sense of urgency, so they dispersed, each making their own preparations for the upcoming crusade.
It wasn't until the evening that the busy day came to an end, Zhang Fang walked outside Zhang Liao's military tent, dressed up, and then pushed the door in, and asked softly: "Second brother, are you looking for me?" ”
"It's a good line, sit." Zhang Liao looked up and saw that it was him, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he pointed to the position next to the table and gestured.
"Thank you, second brother." Zhang Fang bowed and sat down, and the tent suddenly became a little dull.
After a long time, Zhang Liao took his eyes off the map on the table, fell on the face of the clan brother, and suddenly asked, "Duanxing, what do you think?" ”
He asked this thoughtlessly, but Zhang Fang did not hesitate, and replied calmly: "The second brother's recommendation is kind, the younger brother is sensitive to it, even if the second brother can't summon it, he still wants to thank him." ”
"There's nothing to thank for...... Zhang Liao looked at his brother's face intently, trying to judge from his expression that he was sincere or the opposite.
Although Zhang Fang called him the second brother, the Zhang family was not a famous family, and the relationship between the two was also very far away, and they almost came out of the fifth suit, and they recognized each other after joining the army.
It was because of such an unreliable relationship that Zhang Fang first went to the military and became a proton-like horn, and then he was recommended to undertake such a life-and-death task. Even with Zhang Liao's acumen, he couldn't be sure whether the other party's feelings about him were resentment or something else? I'm afraid it's better to be more resentful.
"The second brother doesn't have to worry, the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and he should not be afraid of hardships, establish a meritorious career, and leave his name in history! The younger brother Tao's martial arts are not as far as the second brother, but this ambition is not inferior to the second brother, because of the second brother, these younger brothers were able to follow the side of the lord, and benefited a lot. ”
Although the relatives are far away, the tacit understanding is not bad, Zhang Fang saw Zhang Liao's thoughts, and immediately made some bold words to dispel the other party's concerns.
"It's best if you think so." Zhang Liao nodded, and said in a tone like a well: "You go this time, there are some plans here, you can listen to it, maybe it will help ......" (To be continued.)
