29 Jia Xu's strategy for hegemony

Although he was anxious, Lu Bu did a good job of saving face, and personally sent Yang Feng out of the camp, and then hurried back to the big tent of the Chinese army, and sure enough, he saw that Jia Xu's messenger was already waiting in the tent.

"What is the situation in Hanoi, and what is the best plan for the lord?"

Lu Bu grabbed the messenger's arm with both hands, seated him, and asked questions one after another.

The messenger took out the silk silk from his bosom, respectfully handed it to Lu Bu, and replied: "The subordinates did not disgrace their mission, and when they were leaving, they saw that the lord Bo ordered General Zhang to lead a light cavalry into the wild king, and the instructions of the lord Bo were all in the letter. ”

"Oh good! It's hard work, you go down first to rest, this long journey, I will remember your credit. ”

"Captain Xie!"

The messenger was overjoyed, bowed, and withdrew from the tent.

Lu Bu unfolded the silk silk, first took a quick and rough look, then looked closely, and then looked closely, carefully tasting what Jia Xu said in the letter, and at the same time that it was clear in front of him, his admiration for Jia Xu became more and more thick.

Speaking of which, Jia Xu's three strategies are similar to the three ways out drawn up by Lu Bu. The difference is that Jia Xu proceeded from the general geographical trend and the current situation, analyzed it in detail, and divided the three strategies into upper, middle and lower three for Lu Bu to decide.

Waving the army into Luoyang and controlling the court, this was what Lu Bu was originally most inclined to, and was rated as the next policy by Jia Xu; According to Hedong, watching Heluo is Lu Bu's second choice, and now it is Jia Xu's middle strategy; Originally, it was not valued by Lu Bu to go north and merge states, but it was Jia Xu's most admired policy.

This order can be said to be completely opposite to Lu Bu's original thoughts, but after reading Jia Xu's analysis, Lu Bu combined his own experience and understanding, and thought that what he said was indeed reasonable and well-founded, and it was indeed strategic.

This skill, Lu Bu admits that it is too far behind Jia Xu.

Today's Luoyang is a big whirlpool, and whoever goes in can't please it. Dong Zhuo is the most haode example.

On the strength of the army, on the layout of the plan, on the talents under his command, on the depth of qualifications, on the boldness and black-heartedness, Lu Bu admits that he is not as good as Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo, a hero, has only been in charge of Luoyang for two months, and he ended up dead. And Lu Bu knew that even if he avoided this trip, he would not have much time to live, and he would die a sideways.

"Hmph, Dong Zhuo, count you to die quickly, otherwise, Lao Tzu would have wanted you to die under Lao Tzu's hands!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and thought that this accident could be said to have completely overturned his original plan at once, which was in line with one sentence: people are not as good as heaven, and Jihua is not as fast as change.

And entering Luoyang, on the surface, is a high return and high risk, but Lu Bu knows very well that this income is actually on the surface, even if Dong Zhuo is in charge of the court alone, he can decide the change of the throne with one word, and decide the life and death of the Queen Mother and King Hongnong, but so what, when the Kwantung princes can still rise up against him and levy him, they don't take the court he controls seriously at all.

Since Luoyang can't go, Hedong is also a good place, both sides of the Fenshui River Valley, full of fertile fields, and densely populated, occupy Hedong, watch Guanzhong and Heluo, isn't it a very haode thing.

But it is precisely because this matter is so good, so in Jia Xu's opinion, once Lu Bu is entrenched in Hedong, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion and attention of Luoyang and Guanzhong Shili, and when he is always remembered, many things will not be able to be played.

The best strategy is to go north and merge states.

The advantages and disadvantages of the state are obvious, the terrain is high, surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the population is thin, the foundation is weak, and it is also under the pressure of Xianbei in the north.

But in this way, one of the biggest benefits is to jump out of the maelstrom of Luoyang, and it will not attract the suspicion and attention of other shili, so that you can lay a good foundation and prepare for the future hegemony.

From here alone, it can be seen that Jia Xu is thinking very long-term, so that Lu Bu even has some doubts that Jia Xu will not also cross the crowd.

Immediately, he banished the strange thought from his mind and concentrated on balancing it.

Jia Xu's entire strategy for hegemony, summed up, is "digging deep holes, accumulating grain, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight", once the heroes rise together, the struggle for hegemony begins, first of all, you can use troops against Hedong, and then use Hedong as a springboard, enter the main Guanzhong, and so on to gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong, no matter how the battle in the Central Plains ends, you can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and occupy a great advantage.

I have to say that this strategy for hegemony is simply tailor-made for Lu Bu, his roots are basically to merge with the state, although he is not as well-born as others, haode family background, but he can win in the thin bird and fly first, and he can compete with the world's heroes.

Integrating Jia Xu's strategy of competing for hegemony and interpreting it with his own understanding, Lu Bu let out a long breath, no longer having the previous confusion, but once again seeing the road ahead and being full of confidence again.

The only thing he needs to think about now is how to extract enough benefits from Hedong.

And the best time to grab the benefits was when Li Dao, Guo Yan, Guo Tai and others led their troops to leave Hedong.

At this time, Lu Wei was outside of Luoyang, and he had a new understanding of many things. Mrs. Guo wanted to lead the army into Luoyang, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to stab him in the back and stab him in the back, but now it seems that there is no need for this, just let him go; Niu Fu has basically been abolished, and his subordinates are all the elite of the Xiliang Army, although they may not be able to eat all of them, but they can eat some of them, which is not bad; As for Li Dao and Guo Yan, these two people are afraid that they will not abandon their soldiers, so it is difficult to start.

With this confidence, Lu Bu is even more calm about the current stalemate in Hedong, no matter who sent the messenger to inquire about the news, he will say what he said to Yang Feng again, and say it a few times, everyone thinks that he planned to do so.

From Cao Cao's resignation and return to his hometown, to Huaxiong's official worship of the five official Zhonglang generals, he still led the army to garrison the Tiger Pass, and Lu Bu was only four or five days later than Luoyang to get it, and the most important news was that Situ Wang Yun led the Empress Dowager He who lived in Yongle Palace, asking to set things right and re-establish Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, as the emperor.

Such a move is tantamount to announcing to the world that the previous abolition of Taiwei Dong Zhuo was chaotic and unruly, and now it should be corrected.

After less than three months, the abolition of the establishment was carried out again, and even if the reason for this time was very legitimate, many courtiers still objected, believing that this move would shake the country's foundation.

However, at the insistence of Situ Wang Yun, Taifu Yuan Kui, Guangluxun Li Su, and Lang Zhongling He Yan as the leaders of the ministers, the abolition of the establishment was finally a foregone conclusion, and together with this news, the new emperor Liu Wei issued an order, not mentioning the pardon of the Xiliang generals, but asking them to go to Luoyang to ask for their guilt.

This series of events made Lu Bu shake his head again and again.

The two successive abolitions have swept away the authority of the Han Emperor, and everyone in the world now knows that as long as there is strength, they can decide who can be the emperor, which undoubtedly greatly boosts the ambitions of those careerists, and makes them see that the high throne is not so unattainable.

And if the generals of Xiliang want to go to Luoyang to ask for their guilt, the subtext is nothing more than to say, you should quickly disperse the soldiers and come to Luoyang to die.

With such a naked threat, as long as the generals of Xiliang are a little more normal, they will do the opposite, and do everything possible to keep the soldiers under their tents, so that they can save their lives.

Sure enough, the news that Zhang Ji led the army to Guanzhong came immediately, and then Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were stationed in Anyi, also led their troops south, but their whereabouts were unknown for the time being.

Lu Bu knew that the time to grab the benefits had finally made him wait.
