Chapter 382: Far Water Can't Save Near Fire
Liu Mang was really angry about the pimp in front of him, he almost caused Liu Mang's backyard to catch fire, for such a person, Liu Mang can have a good impression! So even the tone of Jia Xu's speech has changed a lot. Jia Xu is an old fox, how could he not see Liu Mang's discomfort, he can't help it. Although his pimp did not complete the task perfectly, how did he know that several ladies had just come back together at this time, but you Liu Mang was also comfortable, didn't you! Of course, Jia Xu would not say such words, Jia Xu could only hide his embarrassment with a smile on his face.
"Old fox!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with anger and itchy teeth, as the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, this Jia Xu smiled Liu Mang can't be scolded on the spot, this kind of thing can be put in his heart, if he says it, Liu Mang himself will have to be unlucky with Jia Xu. "Mr. Wenhe wants to make this king ungrateful and dishonest in the world!" Liu Mang can't be directly blamed, but he is looking for his stubble around the corner.
Jia Xu doesn't care anymore, after all, Liu Mang is also his junior when compared to his age, it is normal to have this kind of temperament, if Liu Mang doesn't say anything, there are no complaints at all, then Jia Xu will really be afraid, just like Cao Pi, the second son of Cao Cao's family, everything is hidden in his heart, he doesn't say anything on the surface, he may have buried a pit for you in private, such a person is a big thing, but Jia Xu doesn't like this kind of person to calculate on himself, so Liu Mang's small temperament, Although it does not conform to the temperament of the master, I don't know why, Jia Xu has a sense of belonging after joining Liu Mangjun in the past few days.
"If the lord wants not to lose his trust in the world, as long as he refuses Yuan Xi's conditions, he doesn't need to harm Yuan Xi!" Jia Xu's life is that if he can not be offended, he must not be offended, and if he is offended, it is better to be killed directly. After the province, the salted fish turned over and made himself uncomfortable. If the envoy sent by Yuan Xi is killed, then it will be equivalent to breaking with the Yuan family, because Yuan Xi has a good relationship with his brother Yuan Tan or his younger brother Yuan Shang, except that it is difficult to reconcile in the struggle for inheritance. At other times, it is still a bit prestigious to speak, and if you are evil to Yuan Xi, you are evil to the Yuan family in Hebei, why bother! Anyway, Liu Mang is actually the brother-in-law of the Yuan brothers in Hebei.
"The messenger who killed Yuan Xi can make the people of the world feel the kindness of this king, and know that he knows the kindness of the original!" Liu Mang seems to be on his shoulders with Jia Xu, and it doesn't really matter if he kills Yuan Xi's messenger or not. Although killing the messenger made the people of the world sigh at Liu Mang's kindness and righteousness, Liu Mang's previous reputation for benevolence and righteousness was already there, and it was not so bad! If you don't kill it, it doesn't matter to the Yuan brother Liu Mang, except for Yuan Xi, among the three of them, they are all people with rat eyes, and sooner or later they will also die, although this Yuan Xi is a little knowledgeable. But it's too indecisive, if it's decisive enough, now we should help one of the brothers to win the power of the Yuan family, stabilize Hebei and fight Cao Cao, so as to protect the Yuan family's foundation, but Yuan Xi can't do it! can only watch Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's internal friction, and in the end, the general trend has gone. Become a ghost under Cao Cao's knife.
If such a person is offended, he will be offended, Liu Mang doesn't care at all, all he cares about is the grain and grass of the current Yuan brothers.
"Lord, don't you want the Guangling Huaiyin area!" Jia Xu suddenly looked at Liu Mang with a smile and said.
"Guangling?! Huaiyin! Liu Mang heard these two place names of Jia Xu, no longer quarreled with Jia Xu, but pondered, these two place names are very important to Liu Mang, because to get these two places, it can be said that Liu Mang's army has an outlet to the sea, once there is an outlet to the sea, then Liu Mang's sea ship can go directly north to reach Liaodong generation. What is the difference of the JAC generation! The layout is a war horse! And Liu Mang's army is the most lacking, because there are three cavalry units in Liu Mang's army, and the cavalry is not only used for human armor, but this war horse is very easy to consume, and Liu Mang wants to maintain the consumption of these three cavalry. Then it is necessary to enter a large number of war horses, but it is difficult for Liu Mang to get this thing of war horses, whether it is Xiliang or Hebei, the channels of close horses are blocked, and the most important thing in Liaodong is war horses, but what is lacking in Liaodong is grain and iron tools, so the trade with Liaodong is complementary, plus Liaodong Gongsun Du, he can contain foreign tribes, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with strengthening his strength. Liu Mang is even ready to find the treasure island and Hainan after having an outlet to the sea, and can even go to the South Seas, where it is a fertile land, there are grain and grass imports there, I'm afraid not to mention Yangzhou, I'm afraid that the whole Han will not have many people who are hungry, Liu Mang needs a population, needs a large number of people, and now the Han is almost empty, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid the Han people will be almost there, only by strengthening the population can we really make the Han stand in the forest of the world.
So this outlet to the sea is very important to Liu Mang, now Jia Xu said Huaiyin Guangling, naturally it is the closest to Liu Mang's territory to the sea, Liu Mang of course wants to get, otherwise he will not let Zhang Liao go to Linhuai as the coach, and also sent out the two elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Black Chess Army in his hand, in order to encircle the point and annex Huaiyin Guangling if he has the opportunity.
"But this Huaiyin and Guangling are both in Xuzhou!" Jia Xu continued to say with a smile.
Liu Mang's eyes sank, and the scribes and generals in this palace also pondered, Liu Mang wanted to get the outlet to the sea, but this outlet to the sea was in Xuzhou, Cao Cao had "kindness" to Liu Mang, so Liu Mang couldn't beat Cao Cao, at least Cao Cao couldn't take Xuzhou at this empty time now, otherwise he would take advantage of the void and be ungrateful, but if he didn't get it now, then he wouldn't want to get it later, because once Cao Cao freed up his hands and unified Hebei, he would definitely go south, And the first obstacle to the south is Liu Mang's army, do you still expect to take Xuzhou at that time! At that time, Xuzhou must have been a soldier and a horse, even if Liu Mang wanted to get it without paying a heavy price, it was impossible, and at that time to get the sea, what year was this war horse transportation, now every minute is very precious for Liu Mang, or for the princes of the Central Plains and even the entire Jianghuai region, because the world has been chaotic for so many years, and basically they can roughly distinguish the winner and loser, and the final decisive battle is coming, they are not ready to bear the pressure!
"The lord wants to get this Huaiyin Guangling. If you don't want to bear the infamy, you should ask for it from this Yuan Xi's messenger! The smile in Jia Xu's eyes made Liu Mang finally look at it once.
"What do you mean by Wen He!" Liu Mang was patient and asked Jia Xudao.
Jia Xu then said, "Lord, we can't attack Huaiyin and Guangling, that's because the current Xuzhou is under Cao Cao's command, but what if Xuzhou is not under Cao Cao's rule!" ”
"It's not Cao Cao's rule!" Liu Mang was afraid of attacking Xuzhou and gaining a reputation for being ungrateful. So if Xuzhou is not under Cao Cao, there will be no such scruples.
"What if this Xuzhou becomes under Yuan Xi?!" Jia Xu continued to induce Liu Mang to think.
"Impossible!" Liu Mang refused without thinking about it, because although Xuzhou relied on Qingzhou, even if Yuan Tan, the lord of Qingzhou, called over, it was impossible, on top of Xuzhou, Lao Cao was a heavy soldier, and on the original trajectory, he sent Zang Ba with soldiers and horses to even deploy defense in Qingzhou. But in this world, Liu Mang and Lu Bu broke out with Zang Ba, but Lao Cao did not relax his defense of Xuzhou, and let the general be stationed with heavy troops on the edge of Qingzhou, even if the battle of Guandu was so miserable, Lao Cao did not let Yu Ban's soldiers and horses move a step. I just want to be a nail and nail it in there.
When Daddy Yuan Shao was in his prime, Yuan Tan was still unable to break through the forbidden defense, not to mention that now Cao Cao has won against Yuan Shao.
And Yuan Xi's Youzhou is even more Qingzhou, how can it be possible to cross Qingzhou and Jizhou to fight Xuzhou!
"Hehe, lord, Yuan Xi doesn't have soldiers and horses, but we can lend him it! Xu Shu also understood what Jia Xu said, Xu Shu is good at conspiracy, and if he is not good at conspiracy, he is naturally a little worse than Jia Xu in this aspect of calculating people. But Xu Shu's IQ is very high, as long as Jia Xu dials a little, he will naturally understand, although he doesn't have a good impression of Jia Xu, but I have to say that this Jia Xu Jia Wenhe is very set! With this person to assist the lord, the lord does not need to worry about being calculated.
"Lend him soldiers?!" Liu Mang's eyes are rolling, how to borrow soldiers and horses, there are only four elites in his hands, and Liu Mang is reluctant to do so.
"Haven't you forgotten that we now have an army of 300,000!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang with a smile.
Liu Mang's eyes lit up at this time, it is true that he has an army of 300,000 in his hands. Although it has not yet fully formed an army, it is also a force, although the combat effectiveness of the 300,000 rabble is poor, but Lao Cao has stationed a large army on the northern border of Xuzhou in Qingzhou, but in this Guangling Huaiyin, the southernmost part of Xuzhou. But there are not many soldiers and horses, at most there are hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled in a county, the main force has been transferred, and Xuzhou has experienced several battles, how many defenders can there be in the city! Therefore, although Liu Mang's 300,000 reserves are scum, the opponent is even more scum. So if you really borrow troops, you can really take Huaiyin and Guangling.
And Liu Mang lent Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses not just a reserve, Jia Xu was ready to select those Shanyue people, although these Shanyue people are ordinary people, but the combat effectiveness is still there, and they are lent out, but their families are still in Yangzhou, as long as Liu Mang raises his arms and shouts, he will be able to compete for defection, so the borrowing of troops is only temporary.
"Wenhe means that we will lend troops to Yuan Xi, help him take the area of Huaiyin Guangling, and then send troops to attack Yuan Xi?!" Liu Mang's eyes lit up, if this is the case, then there is no such thing as ingratitude, and Liu Mang can still help Cao Cao under the banner of helping Cao Cao, when the reputation is there and the territory is there, why not do it.
The most important thing is to borrow the grain and grass of the army, Yuan Xi wants Liu Mang to attack Cao Cao, so he will add 10,000 gold to the grain and grass of 200,000 stones, and although Liu Mang does not attack directly, this is no different from sending troops, and it also added a territory to Yuan Xi for nothing, is this result Yuan Xi still not paid!
"General Yuan's envoy must take good care of it, and Yang Hong's matter will be handed over to you!" With such a rich master, Liu Mang's attitude immediately changed, Yang Hong is Liu Mang's diplomat, with Yang Hong here, Liu Mangjun basically has no pressure in diplomacy.
"The old minister takes the order!" Yang Hong hugged his fist towards Liu Mang, and combining vertical and horizontal is his Yang Hong's strength.
"If this strategy is successful, Wenhe should be credited!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with a smile and said. If this plan succeeds, then there are 200,000 grains and grass, Yangzhou should tide over the difficulties, and Yangzhou's outlet to the sea has also been found, why not do it!
"Hehe, the lord is too happy! Although Wenhe's strategy is good, far water can't save the near fire! Xu Shu didn't have the conspiracy that Jia Xu thought of, but he knew how to conspiracy, and seeing Liu Mang so happy, he suddenly poured a plate of cold water on it.
"200,000 grains and grass can be obtained, but it is not now!" Although Yuan Xi has grain and grass, although Youzhou is not 108,000 miles away from Yangzhou, there are thousands of miles, and it takes more than a month to walk through this ordinary way, not to mention that there is a detour, and even Cao Cao's territory has to pass, Cao Cao will let him come over so easily! The only thing that can guarantee safety is the sea route, but the premise of the sea route is that Liu Mang gets the sea mouth first, and he can't take Xuzhou, so don't talk about anything. Therefore, this far water cannot save the near fire.
Xu Shu directly sent Liu Mang into the abyss of hell with a word, yes, how long can Liu Mang's grain and grass here last! In less than a month, everyone will be ready to drink the northwest wind!
"Go on!" Liu Mang could only rub his head, he had to find the spring water that was the fastest and most accessible to Yangzhou's current predicament.
