Chapter 125: Honest Confusion
The pork banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month adds a bit of eye-catching to the "cheap meat", but because the people who participated in the banquet only knew the delicacy of pork, and did not know that gelding pigs were easy to raise, so they did not set off too much waves.
At most, it is difficult for the chefs of the major families, according to the description of the main family, thinking about the practice of white male meat, braised pork, and pork rib soup......
And Xun You was also in Jinling and observed for two more days.
found that Gan Ning was really "dispatched" to Huiji, and all indications showed that Bai Tu really just wanted Sun Ce to send troops to Wankou and Wancheng - this offensive plan was full of slots in Xun You's opinion.
Although nominally Bai Tu made an agreement with Xun You that he would join Cao Cao's soldiers and horses representing the imperial court outside Shouchun City, people with a little common sense understood that this statement was completely uncredible.
Gan Ning's proposal, that is the real way to meet with Cao Guild Master Shouchun.
As long as the troops are sent from Wuhu and break through the mouth of the river on the other side of the river, you can enter Chaohu Lake and defeat the water army of Chaohu Lake, you can take advantage of the spring and summer flood season, follow the south fertilizer water to Xiaoyaojin, break through Hefei, and then follow the north fertilizer water, all the way to Shouchun.
Historically, the Eastern Wu is to take the mouth of the water as the northern gateway, and Cao Wei is the tun sailors in Chaohu, as long as the Chaohu water army is defeated, the next battle is in Xiaoyaojin see-saw - the fertilizer water will be cut off from the north and south during the dry season, and the north and south fertilizer water will be reconnected during the flood season, and the connection is Xiaoyaojin, and the Hefei city on the side is also named.
And when Cao Wei wanted to go south, he mostly attacked the mouth of the water, and rarely took the line of Wancheng and Anhuikou.
The main reason is that north of Anhui City, there is no waterway to go north, and under the barrier of Dabie Mountain, Anhui City can only take the stone pavilion and the stone road to the north, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack for both sides!
Therefore, Baitu sent Sun Ce to take Wancheng, which was tantamount to saying to Xun You - you fight, I will rub beside me.
Xun You could see that many of the strategists under Bai Tu's command were not satisfied with this decision.
He can also understand this, if he was serving under Bai Tu, he would now persuade Bai Tu to compete in Huainan, instead of choosing the easiest place to fight.
Because of the current situation, Yuan Shu has changed from the previous hedgehog to a cake to be shared!
As soon as the matter of claiming the emperor came out, not only Liu Bei, but also Cao Cao and Bai Tu were able to attack Huainan with all their might, and Liu Biao would never dare to stab him in the back at this time at this time.
At this time, he actually showed no fighting or grabbing, and undoubtedly set up a "unintentional hegemony" character in Xun You's heart.
And Xu, who did not want to be named, also made meritorious service again - when Xun You investigated Baitu's reputation among the people, he discovered the "deep well disease" that was widely spread in Jiangdong.
Although with Bai Tu's merits and prestige, unless the anger of the people is so angry that ordinary people feel the pain of their skin, they will never cause any public resentment, but actually allowing this kind of ridicule to circulate has also caused Xun You's rating of Bai Tu to decrease again and again.
In Xun You's view, Bai Tu is already a typical "saint" - a saint can be offered in the temple, but it is not suitable to move out and be the master!
Therefore, Xun You was not too vigilant about Hua Xin and the others, showing the behavior of the chariot and horse to worship under Bai Tu.
Although the upper limit of being a saint's lackey is much lower than that of a subordinate who is a human master, the lower limit is also much higher!
In Xun You's view, as long as Cao Gong can unify the north in the future, a piece of edict can directly take back Jiangdong and carry the white sage into the temple for offerings.
Even if Bai Tu is really "bewitched" and raises troops to resist Wang Shi, this kind of person is also more likely to be crowned noble, at most he will be imprisoned, even if he is beaten and bloody, and cannot be reconciled, he will only die of accident or illness, at least in the official caliber, he will not be regarded as an anti-party......
Therefore, he took refuge in Baitu...... Especially for Baume & Mercier Qingliu, taking refuge in Baitu is a very stable choice.
It's just that Lu Bu is more troublesome, and those people are too hostile to Cao Gong, which makes Xun You feel at ease - if Bai Tu is "bewitched" in the future, it will definitely be the pot of this group of people!
[Lu Bu also has a daughter, who seems to be very close to Bai Gong, and it will be even more troublesome if the two kiss each other in the future...... It seems that the lord needs to be reminded! Xun Yu silently changed his mind in his heart.
At the same time, the expression in Xun You's eyes gradually became sluggish......
In the second year of Jian'an, on the eighteenth day of the first month, Xun You started in the morning, meditated in the post house until the evening, and then had a simple meal, and then came to the state pastor's mansion to bid farewell to Baitu.
Bai Tu handed Xun You a set of jade that conformed to the etiquette system, as a tribute to the imperial court, and the old-fashioned degree was very in line with the character of Bai Tu in Xun You's heart.
Early the next morning, Xun You officially left Jinling, the return route was unknown, and Bai Tu only sent someone to escort him to Chaisang, most likely to make a detour to Jingzhou back to Xudu.
"Zijing, did you say we really bluffed it?" Bai Tu only talked to Lu Su about this matter after Xun Yu left.
After all, in this world, there are such unreasonable things as "plotting", and when Xun You was in Jinling, if he talked about it behind his back, he might learn about it in an unscientific way.
"Xun You is Cao Cao's mastermind, although it looks a little wooden and not good at words, but it is impossible to completely bluff the past, especially since Cao Cao sent Xun You to Jiangdong, it already shows that he is wary of the lord! If you say how much is it to bluff the past...... Logically, it should be between five and five, but our approach will make him believe that it is seventy percent. Lu Su said.
Xun You did not expect Lu Su, he launched the "Outer Fool and Inner Wisdom" before, and spent a whole day combing through what he saw and heard after coming to Jiangdong, as well as his previous understanding of Baitu.
Found a lot of suspicious things, such as...... If Bai Tu really has no ambitions, why did Bai Lu Bu be his father-in-law before? There is also a military general Wenchen beside him, this is a person with no ambition, can he put together a lineup?
Although this can be explained by "Bai Gong understands the righteousness and wants to establish a pure land in troubled times in Jiangdong", there are many abrupt points after all.
However, as Lu Su said, Bai Tu is not honest in words, but he is very honest in his behavior - Jiangdong's current dispatch does not seem to be wild, Bai Tu really transferred Gan Ning, who was in the main battle, to Huiji, and really only wants to send troops to Anhui City......
"Deep Well Disease" is true, and Xu, who has been walking around the most with Xun Yu recently, is also slandering Baitu from the bottom of his heart, and it really can't be more true.
In the absence of a news channel of "Huainan is about to have a great drought", Xun You can only believe that Bai Tu is really a "saint"!
"It is said that the person who triggered the luck of the Han family and rebelled against Yuan Shu was most likely under Cao Cao...... They are not even worried about the drought in Huainan at all? Bai Tu was a little puzzled by this.
"I didn't find the plan of "Yun Scroll" before my "Feng Shui Scroll", and probably I can't see the changes in Feng Shui ...... "Yun Scroll". Lu Su only speculated on this, after all, the ten volumes of the Book of Heaven were not born very often, and he did not know the examples of the collision between the "Yun Scroll" and the "Feng Shui Scroll".
"Fifty percent...... Seventy out of ...... That's it! can make him believe that thirty percent is earned. Bai Tu thought about it and didn't bother about it anymore.
