Chapter 175: Provoking the Princes
Hongnong's Zhang Baiqi and Liu Xiongming, the thief at the Wuguan crossing, agreed to surrender, which immediately reversed the situation, and Yuan Shang immediately gave Zhang Yan an order, asking Zhang Baiqi and Liu Xiongming to gather soldiers and horses, and before returning to Hebei to return to Shun, do a big thing.
said that it was a big deal, but in fact, it was relatively simple for the two of them, that is, to attack the territories behind the princes of Guanzhong!
Don't seek to attack the city and pull out the village, as long as he makes him a chicken, flying and jumping, everyone knows it, and let their rear not stop.
But there is only one premise for this matter, that is, it is absolutely forbidden to attack the territory of Ma Chao and Zhong Xuan, and the territory of the other princes is at your own choice, and you can pick it as you want.
The news quickly spread back to Guanzhong, and after Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, and Liu Xiongming learned the news, although they were puzzled, they still followed Yuan Shang's orders and began to send troops to make peace in the backyard of the princes of Guanzhong.
Zhang Baiqi has lived in Hongnong for a long time, and he knows the reality of the land of Guanzhong, and the territory of the princes who are in trouble, which can be said to be captured.
Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Xiongming, all three of them are world-famous super thieves, not to mention how good their ability to fight is for the time being, this is a bad job to encourage other people's backyards to do damage, each is a top ten good hand.
At that time, all the grain and wheat in the territory of Duan Xuan, the princes of Guanzhong, were cut off.
Then it was the horse farms in the territory of the princes Yang Qiu, and they were all looted.
Immediately afterwards, the subordinate city of the prince Li Kan was breached, and the compound of the Taishou Mansion was looted by thieves, and it was burned to the ground. Jumping without ...... A few days later. The bad news from the rear of Guanzhong spread to Hedong, and the princes were shocked when they learned that their backyard had been robbed.
Although Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi and others did not leave their names after they were involved, most people's first thought was that this matter was done by the Yuan family!
It's just that how did Yuan's soldiers and horses appear in the land of Guanzhong, and how did the soldiers of Hebei sneak into Guanzhong beyond the eyes and ears of the princes?
Thinking about it carefully, everyone's hearts are also relieved, and the Yuan family is in the four states and looks at the world. The amount of soldiers, horses, money and food is unparalleled in the world, and it is not impossible to plant a few ghost armies in the land of Guanzhong.
It's just that there is one thing that is like a ding. It is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the princes of Guanzhong!
The trouble-stirring army planted by the Yuan clan in Guanzhong harassed the princes from house to house, why did Dudu not move Zhong Xuan and Ma Chao to a cold hair?
It stands to reason that Zhong Xuan is Cao Cao's subordinate, Cao Cao and Yuan are enemies who do not share the same sky, and Ma Chao is now even under the state army of Liuzhai, and Yuan's army is also like fire and water? Why did Yuan Jun not attack these two important enemies?
Too weird, right? I'm afraid that there must be something strange in it!
With this question, the hearts of the princes of Guanzhong all had a haze, and they were all puzzled, and the more they couldn't figure it out, the more they hesitated in their hearts!
It's at this critical juncture. Yuan Shang also began to act, more than a dozen capable craftsmen with Yuan Shang's handwritten letters, divided their ways, went to the princes' tents, explained the benefits and disadvantages, and began to exercise the strategy of provocation...... After Yuan Shang's various messengers finished their actions, that night, Duan Xuan, Li Kan, and the candidates. Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing and other princes of the Seven Roads secretly met in Duan Xuan's tent and began to discuss the matter secretly.
The starry sky outside the tent. The atmosphere in the depths of the tent was as cold as frost.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our brothers are gathered here today. It's all your own family, you don't have to pretend to be confused, I just want to ask, have you all received the letter sent by the Yuan family? Duan Xuan's tone was neither flat nor cold, and it didn't sound like he was talking about military aircraft at all, but rather like he was chattering.
You look at me, I look at you, although they don't speak, but in an instant, they all nod their heads slightly. …,
Duan Xuan paused for a moment, and then continued: "I don't know what the Yuan clan of Lu Dao said in his letter to you, but what was written to me was Chen said that this battle of the Guanzhong coalition army going north was actually just a ploy by Ma Chao and the Cao clan uniting together, intending to reduce our forces and integrating the Guanzhong regions...... Everyone was a little darkened when they heard this, but they heard Li Kan say slowly: "The content of Yuan's letter to Duan Gong is almost the same as that of a certain person, the land of Guanzhong, the princes are divided, and they have not been subdued for a long time, and they are troubled in the west of the Central Plains. ”
The corners of Ma Wan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said strangely: "The content written on the letter is roughly the same as a certain one, but this statement is full of loopholes and many strange things, just imagine that the Ma family and Cao Cao are united, how can there be Yuan's participation?" You must know that Lu Dao is now attacking Yuan Shang's territory! How can anyone who calculates his own territory by his own family, it's ridiculous! ”
Duan Xuan sighed and said: "I also asked the envoy who came to my account because of this matter, and he said that Cao Cao had secretly communicated with the Yuan clan before sending troops this time, and his words were that if the Yuan clan was willing to pretend to be the opposite side and weaken the power of our Guanzhong princes together, the two sides not only temporarily abandoned their previous suspicions and dismissed the army for three years, but also promised Yuan Shang the position of Jizhou pastor!" ”
Li Kan couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this, and said: "No wonder as soon as I sent troops, the Yuan army swore to resist to the death and defend the camp steadily, and as soon as Ma Chao sent out the troops, he threw away his armor and fled. What kind of calculation is this, it is very suspicious! ”
Liang Xing thought for a while and said, "This statement is full of loopholes, I suspect that it is Yuan Jun's discordant plan!" ”
Yang Qiu's eyes rolled, and he pondered: "It may not be~, what kind of person is Cao Cao?" The world is a traitor! Trade with him. It's tantamount to conspiring with a tiger~~. And the Yuan family and him already have an indelible enmity! This awakening should also be reasonable. ”
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "Everyone, I have an idea, the previous news, a soldier and horse suddenly appeared in the land of Guanzhong, causing trouble everywhere in our jurisdiction, everyone said that it was arranged by the Yuan family, but I didn't think so!" Imagine that the Yuan family is so good! How can you send a soldier and horse to Guanzhong under our noses? It's a joke and this army just keeps harming us. He has never harassed Zhong Xuan and Ma Teng's territory, and his behavior is suspicious...... Could it be that this army of soldiers and horses is not from the Yuan family at all, but it is actually the soldiers and horses sent by Zhong Xuan and the Ma family to pretend to be! But it was a basin that was detained on Yuan's body for no reason? But some of the princes opened their mouths to say what Zhang Heng wanted to say.
"Yes...... The princes were gossiping. You guess, I said a word, and I talked about it, one time I said that it was Yuan's discord plan, and then I felt that Ma Chao and Zhong Xuan had made some kind of stumbling block in the middle to harm them, and after discussing it for a long time, I didn't say why.
Everyone was tired of chattering and noisy, and finally focused their eyes on Duan Xuan's body.
Duan Xuan is famous, and his soldiers and horses and territory are also more prosperous than other princes, so he is among the people. has faintly had the appearance of a leader.
But seeing that Duan Xuan thought about it for a long time, he finally slapped the table case suddenly, and said: "Everyone, according to Duan's meaning, whether this is Yuan's discord plan now, it is not important, it is important!" Now Ma Chao has won many battles, won many times, and is deeply appreciated by Zhong Xuan! And I waited for several times to send troops, but I lost my troops. On the contrary, it ended up a thankless end, and if this continues, the elite in our hands will be exhausted sooner or later...... Liang Xing suddenly heard the words and said, "What do you mean?" ”…,
"It doesn't matter if the Yuan family is true or not, whether it is a discord or a sincere persuasion. This battle is meaningless for us! There is no benefit at all, so we might as well watch from the wall. On the one hand, send people to ask for peace with the Yuan family, on the other hand, abide by the tunzha, and deal with Zhong Xuan, the two do not help each other, and they must not offend, and it is the right way to preserve their own strength! Yuan Jun and Zhong Miao Ma Chao are two parties, whoever loves wins, who loves wins, who loves wins, anyway, it has nothing to do with us! Let them fight against each other! ”
The candidate nodded when he heard this, and said, "Duan Gong is very good!" It doesn't matter if he eats a wolf or a tiger eats a wolf, whoever eats it counts! ”
"That's right! That's it! ”
"I agree!"
"Damn, after so many battles, there's no benefit from fart! Just the loss of soldiers and the loss of generals will cost Lao Tzu's family money! ”
"According to what you said, Lao Tzu doesn't care about this battle...... Yuan Jun Dazhai, handsome tent.
Yuan Shang looked at Guo Huai, Zhao Yun and Lu Lingqi with a smile, and asked, "Have all the letters been sent?" ”
Guo Huai arched his hand when he heard this, and said: "What should be sent is sent out, but this counter-strategy may not work, those princes are all male lords, and they may not be rebelled against us because of these three or two words of the lord...... Yuan Shang waved his hand and said, "Wrong, it's not a counter-plot, it's a provocative scheme!" These princes are all selfish and tight, if they want to abandon Cao Cao to join us, it is simply impossible, the biggest effect of my move is to spread a fog on them, so that they will be jealous of Zhong Xuan and Ma Chao in their hearts, and adopt the strategy of watching from the wall and not helping each other, so it is enough. ”
After that, Yuan Shang looked up at the three of them and said: "As I expected, Zhong Xuan will definitely send Ma Chao to fight again tomorrow. It's just that now that the princes are being separated, we should also fight back appropriately, and we can't let the kid surnamed Ma be too arrogant and easy to spoil the child. ”
Guo Huai suddenly woke up when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What does the lord mean?" ”
"Tomorrow Ma Chao will attack, and we will go all out to meet the first camp in the hands of the three of you, the White Horse Yicong, and the Wuji Battalion, how much ability to make how much ability! Put down all of Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Rider for me! ”
Zhao Yun, Guo Huai, and Lu Lingqi are all bloody people, and they have been bullied by the Xiliang Army many times in the past few days, and they have long been holding back the evil fire in their stomachs.
But Lu Lingqi knew Yuan Shang quite well, thought for a while, and said: "You have worked so hard, and now you are willing to let us go all out to deal with Ma Chao, I'm afraid that there are still some tricks hidden, right?" Anyway, it's already here, so you might as well speak it out and listen to it! ”
"Huh." Yuan Shang scratched his head lightly, and said: "It's not a bad trick, it's just a battle in the coming day, if we defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, then it will inevitably ask Zhong Xuan and the rest of the Guanzhong coalition army for help, and now the princes of Guanzhong have to be provoked by me, if there is no accident, it must be a wall-to-wall watch, let us kill the sky is dark, blood flows like a river, and I am not moved to imagine that with Ma Chao's temperament, he will not get the support of his allies after losing the battle, how can he give up?" It is estimated that if you turn around, you will have to find the princes of Guanzhong to fight! (To be continued) RQ
