Chapter 499, Xuzhou Raiders
As soon as the words "carve up Xuzhou" came out, Liu Feng was stunned, he never thought that Xun You would come up with such an idea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But come to think of it, maybe that's a good idea.
Today's Tao Qian has no Liu Bei to relieve him, and he will not let Xuzhou three times under huge pressure, and there is no Lu Bu to sneak attack Cao Cao's lair from the rear. If there is no external interference, Cao Cao is likely to encroach on Xuzhou little by little, strengthen himself, and thus achieve the goal of crossing the two states and reaching a point where he can compete with Yuan Shu independently.
Before, Liu Feng didn't know how to deal with the situation in Xuzhou, but as soon as Xun You said this, he suddenly became enlightened.
Yes, since Tao Qian can't stop Cao Cao, it is really better to dismember Xuzhou and put it in the hands of different people, so as to prevent Cao Cao's development.
"Gongda's plan is good, and Xuzhou will be divided into different hands, which will aggravate the war in Xuzhou and cause more displaced people to go south. Although the methods are a little cruel, as long as they get to Jiangdong, they will naturally be able to live a better life. Liu Feng nodded and said, "Then Gongda, how can we occupy Guangling?" ”
"Why did your subordinates say that they were going to occupy Guangling?" Xun You asked rhetorically, "The lord hasn't even completely taken Jiangdong, so he thinks about going north?" ”
"Didn't Gongda say 'carve up Xuzhou'?" Liu Feng wondered, "Aren't we participating?" ”
"If Guangling is taken, how is the lord going to defend this place in Jiangbei? In case Yuan Shu came to attack the city, how would the lord deal with it? Xun You continued to ask.
"Uh......" Liu Feng suddenly realized that he was too excited, thinking only about the talents who went south in Xuzhou, and forgetting the environment he was in.
Yes, even Yuzhang has not been won yet, so how can we talk about attacking Xuzhou. Yuan Shu regarded this place as his own territory, and once he occupied Guangling and caused Yuan Shu's dissatisfaction, he would have to fight against Yuan Shu independently. But obviously, he doesn't have the strength right now.
"What Gongda said was that I almost made a mistake, and I hope Gongda won't be surprised!" Liu Feng got up and apologized.
"The lord is serious, and it is the duty of a courtier to give advice." Xun You didn't dare to take it, and immediately got up.
"What does Gongda just say about dividing up Xuzhou?" Settling down again, Liu Feng asked.
"To carve up Xuzhou, of course, is to invite the princes around Xuzhou. If the expected is not bad, Tao Qian will definitely ask Yuan Shu for help. What we have to do is to add a fire to the back to stimulate Yuan Shu's desires, so that he can occupy Xuzhou as much as possible, and fall into the current battlefield, unable to take care of the surroundings. Xun You replied, "And since we have such a good relationship with Yuan Highway, of course we have to send troops to help him take Xuzhou." Of course, those homeless people that Yuan Highway didn't look down on, naturally he couldn't let him bother to deal with them, and they all rushed to Jiangdong, which also solved a big trouble for Yuan Highway, and he must be very happy. ”
"Yes, since this is the case, then I will go to Jiangbei again, go to meet Yuan Shu, and enter Xuzhou together." Liu Feng got up.
……
Jiujiang County, Shouchun.
Since occupying Jiujiang, Yuan Shu has liked it here, so he expanded Shouchun City and made it his permanent place, recording his heart Yuzhou and that way it is far away.
Since the defeat of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu's mood has not been very good. Although Lu Bu's betrayal of himself was sudden, he had already thought of separating from him, and he was not so angry afterwards, because it was still about his face. On the other hand, Cao Cao, the son of a eunuch, had a sharp rise in his hatred. If it weren't for his help, how could he have lost to that "house slave".
So after coming back, Yuan Shu wanted to immediately raise troops and crusade against Cao Cao, but all the soldiers under his command advised him not to use force immediately, but to rest and recuperate for a period of time, so that the soldiers who were tired from continuous battles could rest and recuperate. So Yuan Shu has been enduring his temperament and standing still, but his temper is getting worse and worse.
Yuan Shu received the news of Cao Cao's army in Xuzhou at the first time, so he immediately convened a meeting of his subordinates to discuss how to deal with it.
Before they could discuss the results, the prime minister of Lu sent someone to report that Cao Cao, who occupied the northern part of Pengcheng and several counties in the East China Sea, had formed a comprehensive encirclement of Lu and asked Yuan Shu to give instructions on what to do.
The distribution of counties and counties in the Han Dynasty is so peculiar, as a part of Yuzhou, Lu is far away from the center of Yuzhou, hanging alone, in Yanzhou Taishan, Rencheng, Xuzhou Donghai, Pengcheng encircled, and Yuzhou is only a small part of Peiguo. Originally, Yuan Shu was very happy, and since then, he has put a nail in the nail here, and once the war starts, he can give the enemy a fatal blow. But now that the situation has changed sharply, if Cao Cao is willing to change, he can quickly take over this rich land in Yuzhou. Although Cao Cao has not moved his own territory now, no one knows whether he will lose the Lu State first after the war.
When Yuan Shu was struggling with what to do, someone came to report that Tao Qian's messenger had arrived, and then Yuan Shu received Tao Qian's letter asking for help.
Yuan Shu no longer hesitated, this was the opportunity he had dreamed of for a long time, he could intervene in Xuzhou's affairs openly, and he could also win Tao Qian's favor, why not? So Yuan Shu immediately made up his mind and marched into Xuzhou.
But before the army was assembled and set off, someone came to report that Liu Feng had arrived in person.
After listening to Yuan Shu's Tao Qian's suggestion, Liu Feng shook his head and said: "Brother Highway, Cao Mengde's troops are strong, and he is only half of the Xiapi Kingdom, how can it be worth the help of Brother Gaowei, at least the entire Xiapi plus half of Guangling." ”
"It's not good, after all, being a brother is to mediate, and it's worth such a big price. After all, Tao Gongzu is the pastor of Xuzhou. Although Yuan Shu had a happy look on his face, he still acted coy in front of Liu Feng, looking like he didn't dare to take credit.
"Brother Highway's words are wrong, how can you not know how Cao Mengde behaves, it is difficult to mediate, and war is inevitable in the end. If Tao Gongzu doesn't want to be kicked out, then he can only rely on Brother Highway, taking such a little thing is purely insulting Brother Highway, Brother Highway must not agree. Liu Feng reminded.
"But Brother Wei has already promised Tao Gongzu, and the envoy has already left......" Yuan Shu said.
"Ah, so fast, it seems that Tao Gongzu was premeditated!" Liu Feng muttered in a voice that Yuan Shu could hear, and then said: "Brother Highway is a gentleman, and he will naturally not do anything untrustworthy, but the younger brother did not agree, it's a big deal, the younger brother entered Xuzhou and captured Guangling for Brother Highway, so he is worthy of the identity of Brother Highway." ”
"Oh, Zhiyuan actually wants to do this, does it want to develop in Jiangbei?" Yuan Shu became alert.
"The little brother hasn't even done Jiangdong, his head is dizzy, how can he have the ability to enter Jiangbei!" Liu Feng said with a smile, "It's just that I heard that there are many displaced people in Xuzhou, and I want to recruit some displaced people to go to Jiangdong to reclaim." ”
"Is that true?" Yuan Shu didn't believe that Liu Feng dared to grab land with him.
"It's true, it's just that the younger brother's strength is insufficient, and I don't know if I can take Guangling, so I will ask Brother Highway to send someone to help at that time." Liu Feng said, "Another problem is that there are many strangers along the way to prevent refugees from going south, which not only leads to chaos in Xuzhou, but also may damage the image of Brother Highway after he enters the two places." ”
"Hmph, these strangers just don't know whether they are alive or dead, it doesn't matter, if you meet a stranger who is in the way, kill them directly, is it difficult to rely on them to reply to Xuzhou?" Yuan Shu said.
"Okay, with the words Brother Road, the younger brother will understand what to do." Liu Feng got up, "Brother Highway, then the junior brother will go back, after the Brother Highway goes out, the younger brother will follow into Guangling and open up the Guangling land for the eldest brother, and Brother Highway will go to defeat Cao Mengde by himself, let him see the strength of the first prince in the world."
