Chapter 163: The Westward Expansion Strategy of Uniting the Weak and the Enemy's Strong
The emperor of Dacheng is hanging!
Lu Chen was so happy that he almost jumped up, humming all day long: I waited for a long time and finally waited for today, and I finally realized my dream after dreaming for a long time......
YUAN SHU, THE SECOND FORCE, AS EARLY AS THE THREE KINGDOMS ERA, PERFECTLY INTERPRETED WHAT NO-ZUO-NO-DIE IS. Here's the thing, Yuan Shu was originally the son of the Yuan family, and his status was higher than Yuan Shao, but in fact, he got more help from the Yuan family than Yuan Shao, his territory was in Runan, just under Cao Bald's ass, it was a prosperous place in the Central Plains, and Yuan Shao was in the north with Gongsun Zhan's hard work.
When the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao's status far surpassed Yuan Shu's and became the justifiable "leader of the martial arts alliance". At that time, Dong Fatzi burned Luoyang City, riding the little emperor, oh no, it was holding the little emperor all the way west to Chang'an, Sun Jian was the first to be like Luoyang, and got the national seal, that is, the piece engraved by the Heshi Bi of the year.
Sun Jian refused to hand over the Chuan Guo Seal, and then on the way back to Jiangdong, Liu Biao and Huang Zu burst the chrysanthemum halfway and died, and the Chuan Guo Seal fell into Sun Ce's hands. Sun Ce is more good at doing business, so he took the seal of the country and Yuan Shu to exchange troops and horses, and then crossed the river in white to unify Jiangdong. After Yuan Shu took the seal of the country, he made a mistake in the second force, he blatantly called the emperor, the world was in chaos, this is looking for a beating, no, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Biao all coveted him, and finally even his own people began to rebel, Yuan Shu couldn't hold on, and wanted to take refuge in Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao sent someone to respond.
However, at that time, Xiapi was already Cao Baldzi's territory, and he sent Liu Bei to Xiapi. stopped Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu came out and wandered around, but had to turn back to Shouchun, and finally died of illness in Shouchun under anxiety, and Yuan Shu's power collapsed.
Therefore, when Lu Chen learned that Yuan Shu was dead, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for three whole days.
Because, Yuan Shu is dead, which means that Cao Cao is about to start a full-scale war with Yuan Shao. He could finally catch his breath and recuperate. This is his starting point from the city of Xiapi. Just because of the calculations, and it was precisely because he knew the general historical trend that he knew that Yanmen was still safe, and chose to settle here.
One. If Yuan Shu does not die. Cao Cao was afraid of being attacked on his back. Naturally, he didn't dare to start a war with Yuan Shao. Second, as soon as Yuan Shu died, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still. It was impossible for him to sit idly by and watch Cao Bald unhurriedly swallow Yuan Shu's territory. Third, if Yuan Shu dies, Liu Biao, Huang Zu and Sun Ce will carve up Yuan Shu's territory, first eat, eat and digest, and Cao Cao will not be threatened for the time being.
Based on the above three points, the great war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is about to break out, and it is bound to happen.
In the past three days, Lu Chen didn't sleep well, and Lu Bu, Zhang Yang, Chen Gong, Pang Tong, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others didn't sleep well, and Lu Chen pulled them to a meeting. After absorbing the full strength of the final decision, Lu Chen almost divided the power of the small group, the military power belonged to Lu Bu and Zhang Liao and other generals, the internal affairs belonged to Chen Gong Zhang Yang, and Pang Tong was in charge of intelligence and strategy.
The content of the meeting was simple, to unify thinking, raise awareness, and decide on the next policy tendency.
Lu Bu is very tiger, and his opinion is to directly take advantage of the great opportunity of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to start a war, unite Gongsun Zan and the Yellow Turban Army, and raid and annex the state.
Chen Gong was frightened by Lu Chen last time, and he didn't dare to put forward his opinion, but he still proposed that he could encroach on it step by step and compete for the territory of the state.
Pang Tong's opinion is to do nothing, focus on people's livelihood, and train soldiers and horses.
Xiao Pang's opinion was scolded by Lu Bu, thinking that he was not a man, so anxious that Pang Tong almost took off his pants on the spot and brought salt for himself.
To be honest, what Lu Chen really cares about is the opinions of Pang Tong and Chen Gong, as for Lu Bu, he just gives him a face and lets him enliven the atmosphere, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun are both guys who can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks, and they never interfere in strategic issues.
Chen Gong and Pang Tong's strategy looked conservative, but Lu Chen liked it very much, but the direction was a little off. He agreed with Pang Tong's Taoguang strategy of raising obscurity, not provoking Yuan Shao, and letting him concentrate on exploding chrysanthemums with Cao Baldzi. Best, after three or two years, the chrysanthemums are broken, the ground is full of wounds, and your smile has turned yellow.
At the same time, Lu Chen felt that Chen Gong's idea of forging ahead was right, but he couldn't provoke Scar Yuan, but externally, starting from the junction of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, where the forces were weak, and recaptured Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and other counties. In this way, not only can you not attract Scar Yuan's grudge, but you can slowly expand your territory and expand your own strength.
Pang Tong supported Lu Chen's idea, but Chen Gong and the others were worried that they would anger the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and if they were enemies with both at the same time, they would have no chance of winning. What's more, this time it was able to block the counterattack of the Xiongnu, or because Xianbei was restrained by the army, and there was a danger in Yanmen. If you go out to fight, the road is long, and the enemy is strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to subdue the old place.
Although Zhang Yang and LΓΌ Bu's hometowns were Wuyuan and Yunzhong respectively, even they agreed with Chen Gong and did not think that they could take back these two counties lightly.
Regarding the next strategy, it has been discussed for three whole days, and it has not yet been determined, Lu Chen is a little anxious, he found that Lu Bu Group has a problem, that is, it lacks a long-term plan, always taking one step at a time, and when it comes to the end, it can only be blind and temporarily clinging to Buddha's feet. After three days of discussion, Lu Chen already knew everyone's thoughts, and their thoughts were that they didn't have any ideas, they looked at it, they could fight if they could, and if they couldn't, they would nest first, and there was no plan. Pang Tong and Chen Gong were still somewhat far-sighted, but neither Pang Tong nor Chen Gong were willing to be enemies of the Xiongnu or Xianbei.
On the third day and night, everyone yawned, Lu Bu was absent-minded, as if he was in a hurry to go back and fight Diao Chan, and the rest of the people were not much better. Lu Chen sighed, the first time he engaged in a "dish cooking" discussion, he failed! He decided to adopt a dictatorial approach.
"Unite the weak and the enemy strong!"
Lu Chen finally made a decision and decided the general direction, that is, to go west to seize the five plains in the clouds.
"How do you unite the weak and the strong?"
Chen Gong and Pang Tong asked at the same time, it was not that they were not greedy for the five plains in the clouds, but they felt a little risky.
"You see, when we sent troops to Hebei to fight against Yuan Shao, we united Gongsun Zhan, the Black Mountain Army and even Cao Cao, and at the same time fought against the most powerful Yuan Shao. Now it can also be concocted in the same way, uniting the relatively weak Southern Xiongnu. Fight against the strong Xianbei. Lu Chen talked eloquently, in his opinion, there is never an eternal enemy, and there are only eternal interests in this world.
"However, we have just ......fought the Huns," Chen Gong said, and now, he finally regretted instigating Jun Hou to send troops to fight against the Huns.
"We also fought with Cao Bald, arrested Guo Jia, cut Cao Ren, and finally. When we were in Hebei to help Gongsun Zhan. Didn't Cao Cao still send troops to contain Yuan Shao? Why? Lu Chen asked.
"Because, Cao Cao doesn't want to see Yuan Shao kill Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao has no worries, and he will go all out to deal with Cao Cao." Pang Tong said.
Lu Chen looked at Pang Tongyi approvingly. Laughed: "That's right! So. What about the Xiongnu and Xianbei? The Xiongnu were divided into two. The strength has decreased sharply, one goes west, and the other is attached to the south. The grasslands of Nuoda are all occupied by the rising Xianbei people, do you think they will be willing? β
Pang Tong and Lu Chen had a tacit understanding, especially after knowing that Lu Chen was not interested in men, he didn't mind eyebrow-to-eye with Lu Chen, he raised his eyebrows obscenely, and said, "What does Xiao Junhou mean, drive the tiger and devour the wolf?" Are we yellow finches behind? β
Chen Gong was puzzled: "However, the Huns may not be willing to cooperate with us." β
Lu Chen waved his hand: "Then give the Huns a little meeting gift first." β
Chen Gong: "What kind of greeting gift?" Xiao Junhou, although you have made a lot of baggage from Hebei, some of it has been sold to the Wuhuan people, and the rest will be used to manage the internal affairs of the soldiers and horses. You are not allowed to collect taxes, and we can't make ends meet now! There is no money, and there is no food! β
Zhang Liao's eyes rolled: "Weapons and war horses must not move." β
"......" Lu Chen smiled contemptuously, "You guys are too stingy, can you learn from me?" Be a man! What kind of big scene is it to give money, food, and weapons? If you want to give it, you can give it! β
Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and the others bounced up, and they were not tired at all.
"What?"
"Xiao Junhou, let's have one Yanmen County in hand, and Dingxiang County has less than half, and let some of it out?"
"Let nothing be allowed to make the territory, and relatives can do it, but the territory is not good!"
Zhao Yun was furious, and roared with a red neck: "Kiss with a fart!" Kissing is a man's humiliation! I'd rather die on the battlefield than get along. β
Only then did everyone wake up that Jun Hou would have a daughter of Lu Qi, of course Zhao Yun would not agree to make peace.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, the birds in our territory don't, they are all mountains, and they can't graze and run horses, so the Huns don't look down on it at all." β
"Then what kind of territory do you say?" Although Pang Tong has a strategy, in the matter of Yin people, his talent is obviously slightly lower than Lu Chen, and he is not as whimsical as an antelope.
Everyone also had the same question, tilting their heads and looking at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled freely, with a slight hint of pretending, and said: "And listen to me slowly, there is a way that a wife is not as good as a concubine, ahhh, it is a family flower is not as fragrant as a wild flower, and other people's families are always better than their own." Although the Xiongnu occupied the land of abundant water and grass in the Hetao, they were not without ambition...... Look here. β
As he spoke, Lu Chen came to the map hanging on the wall, stretched out his hand and pointed at it, smiling quite brightly.
"That's ...... Westriver County? β
"Slaughter the territory of the tribes?"
"Liu Bao's lair?"
"What does Xiao Junhou mean by giving Xihe County to the Southern Xiongnu? It was originally the territory of the Southern Xiongnu! β
"No, there are Tu tribes, although Tu tribes are also Southern Xiongnu, but Liu Bao calls himself the Right Xian King, and has the right to inherit Shan Yu, so he does not respect the Hu Chu Quan Shan Yu of Meiji Shan Yu Court. Tu was the enemy of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting. β
Chen Gong and others discussed it, and their opinions were not unanimous.
"Liu Bao of the Tu tribes used Jun Hou before, and almost made Jun Hou send troops unfavorably, if he can seize his territory and sacrifice it to the Huns, it will also be regarded as revenge." This is what Chen Gong means.
"However, Liu Bao also helped us come to Yanmen in the first place, will this be too much?" This is what Zhang Yang meant, he is a good man.
After some gossip and discussion, everyone looked at Lu Chen again.
Lu Chen said: "My goal is to unite the Southern Xiongnu and fight against Xianbei, Liu Bao's Xihe County is a small gift, and it needs to be considered in the long run." He is unkind and unjust, Liu Bao must be taught a lesson, and then, if he is defeated, I can take him in, as long as he still has the brave cavalry to slaughter the various horses. Hehe......"
Pang Tong followed up and asked, "However, how can we get the Huns to form an alliance with us?" β
Lu Chen smiled: "Do you know the identity of the Hun female general I caught?" β
Pang Tong rolled his eyes: "If you catch it, you will be taken to your yard, and you will personally train it, how do I know?" β
Lu Chenle said: "Her name is Wuzhu, you may not know her name, but her father, you must know - Hu Chuquan." β
The Huns are single in the kitchen spring!
Now, everyone is happy.
Although a Shan Yu's daughter as a hostage, it will not be able to make the Huns bow down, but it is a good bridge to improve the relationship...... Stream, it's more reliable. (To be continued......)
