Chapter 278: Chaos (2)
Xian Yufu announced his surrender, and Youbeiping fell into the hands of Liu Chuang.
In Liu Chuang's mind, Yuan Xi would inevitably be furious, and even immediately raise troops to attack and recapture Youbeiping.
But to Liu Chuang's surprise, Yuan Xi didn't make any moves, and Zhuojun didn't even react, which made Liu Chuang nervous.
The old saying that there must be a demon when things go wrong, of course Liu Chuang knows.
The more calm Yuan Xi was, the more it meant that there was a situation, and he couldn't help but be a little more careful.
"Yuan Xi is here, although it is useless, but it cannot be underestimated."
In the garden of the General's Mansion in Zhengbei, Liu Chuang, Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu sat around a mound. Zhao Yan sat behind the mound and warmed wine for the three of them. And Liu Chuang and the three of them whispered, discussing the situation in Youbeiping today.
Xu Shu said: "Now Yuan Xi's reaction is indeed a little strange.
Xian Yufu attached himself to the emperor's uncle, but Yuan Xi did not make any moves, which inevitably made people suspicious. I'm worried that there is another plan here, and Uncle Huang should be more careful, lest he make a plan and miss a big deal. ”
Liu Chuang took a glass of wine from Zhao Yan's hand and took a sip.
He frowned and muttered.
What Xu Shu said was exactly what he was worried about.
After a while, he turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Brother, what Yuan Zhi said is very true, and Liang also feels the same."
That Yuan Xi is by no means a person who can swallow his anger, and Youbeiping is the eastern gateway of Youzhou. Now that my brother has won Youbeiping, he has not made the slightest move, which is really a bit weird. However, I think that even if Yuan Xi is eccentric, it is nothing more than a few aspects. ”
Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
"The person Yuan Xi relies on is none other than the identity of Yuan Shao's son.
He's in Youzhou. Actually, it doesn't have a lot of roots...... Youzhou has been exhausted after repeated wars. The Yuan clan did not occupy Youzhou for a long time, and it was not yet fully controlled. Therefore, if Yuan Xi wants to fight back, it is nothing more than borrowing troops from outside. It is likely that he will seconded troops and horses from the high-ranking cadres, and at the same time contact the various departments of Youzhou Karasuma to defend against his brother head-on, which is one of them; And second, although the elder brother pacified Liaodong. Unfortunately, the time is too short, and the foundation is not yet stable. If I were Yuan Xi, I would definitely try to make trouble in Liaodong to contain my brother's actions.
As soon as there is chaos in eastern Liaodong, the speed of my brother's westward advance will inevitably slow down.
One trades off the other. When the reinforcements from Bingzhou arrived, Yuan Xi would definitely concentrate his troops and horses and storm Liaodong, and then his brother would have to face internal and external difficulties. Previously, my brother sent Uncle Hai to Liaodong, which was indeed a wonderful step. But thinking about it, Yuan Xi will definitely have an arrangement. ”
"What do you think?"
Zhuge Liang glanced at Xu Shu. Laugh without saying a word.
Xu Shu immediately understood, and immediately said: "Today's plan, Youbeiping has been captured by the emperor's uncle, and the troops will immediately enter Youbeiping." Xiang Yuyang with troops.
I believe that Yuyang, there will be a fierce battle.
If Uncle Huang can capture Yuyang, Yuan Xi will definitely panic, and what plan will he have at that time. It's clear at a glance. ”
That is, to increase the investment in the troops of the Right Beiping.
Liu Chuang closed his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said: "General Hansheng has entered the mound today, and Xiang Shobu will also go with him. With the addition of Ziyi and Zilong's two troops and horses, Youbeiping has invested more than 15,000 soldiers and horses, which has almost reached the limit. I am also prepared to lead my troops westward in the near future to join General Hansheng. What Yuan Zhi said is true, and now that the battle of Yuan Cao has begun, we must also speed up. ”
When Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu heard this, they couldn't help but nod happily.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The three of them discussed the specific subordinates again, and Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu said goodbye and left.
Liu Chuang was about to get up, but saw Zhuo Ying coming in a hurry.
"Lord, General Fang Yuan sent someone to come and say that the two divisions of White Wolf Xianbei and White Sandalwood Xianbei were merged together to raid Lu Longsai."
Liu Chuang was stunned when he heard this, and immediately took the battle report from Zhuo Ying's hands.
This white wolf Xianbei and white sandalwood Xianbei belong to the same Xianbei department.
His tribe's name is Bu Benyi, who was once a general under the Xianbei King Tanshihuai. After the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei was divided into three parts. Among them, the name of the eastern Xianbei is Yan Liyou, and he has never been compatible with Bu Benyi. It's just that Yan Liyou is strong, so he occupies the land of abundant water and grass in the area of Wuhou Qinshui and Rao Leshui. After Bu Benyi failed in the competition, he set up a separate tribe and lived between Weishui and Xuanshui, adjacent to Youzhou. Its royal court was set up in Pinggang. In the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Bu Benyi also participated in the battle and assisted Yuan Shao.
Zhang Liao wrote very clearly in the book that the white wolf Xianbei and the white sandalwood Xianbei were gathering troops and horses, intending to attack Lu Longsai.
If Lu Longsai is broken by two divisions, Liu Chuang's flank will be threatened.
At present, Lu Longsai's troops are relatively empty, and Xu Shengfang's withdrawal from Lu Longsai also makes the defense relatively weak.
After reading this battle report, Liu Chuang immediately realized.
No wonder Yuan Xi didn't move, it turned out that this guy had such an idea, and was ready to unite with Xianbei, attack Lu Longsai, and contain his own forces.
I have to say that Yuan Xi's move is very beautiful.
He directly hit Liu Chuang's soft underbelly, that is, the relative weakness of his troops.
Although Liu Chuang also recruited soldiers and horses after capturing Liaodong, it was impossible for Liu Chuang to recruit too many troops due to the determination of Liaodong.
The land of the six counties in eastern Liaodong is vast.
Now that Liu Chuang wants to use troops against Youbeiping, his forces will inevitably be scattered.
If Lu Longsai is broken by Xianbei, Liaodong, which has been pacified, will inevitably usher in another turmoil.
Liu Chuang is now in his hands, and there are not too many soldiers available, so he is inevitably a little stretched. Yuan Xi wanted to use Xianbei to contain his forces and stir up the situation in Liaodong to gain time. Although this strategy is not very clever, it has to be said that the effect is very significant.
It seems that there are still some capable people under Yuan Xi's hands.
"Zhuo Ying, you immediately find Xu Chu, and by the way, invite Mr. Yuan Zhi to come."
In Liu Chuang's heart, he already had a plan.
He has always been worried about the Xianbei people, and now that Nabu Benyi has come to the door, he has only one way to fight.
After a moment's effort, Xu Chu Gaoshun and Xu Shu came to the study.
After Liu Chuang explained the situation, he said in a deep voice: "Today, Yuan Xizhi's intentions are very clear.
I want to worship Zhongkang out of the town of Lulongsai, with Mr. Yuan Zhi as the military advisor and General Gao as the deputy general, and lead the old battalion to Lulongsai to resist Xianbei.
Zhongkang, I want you to stick to Xianbei for ten days.
Then I will send troops from the White Wolf Castle to flank Bu Benyi. ”
Seeing Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and others fighting one after another, Xu Chu was already gearing up and eager to try.
Hearing that Liu Chuang ordered him to guard Lu Longsai, it was exactly what he thought, and he immediately bowed down and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Xu Chu will not let go of a Xianbei person." ”
