Chapter VII: The Situation Has Changed Dramatically
Xu Shu also seemed to understand something, and said with a contemplative face: "Yes, the land of Xuyi, Huai'an in the top, Shouchun in the west, Moling in the south, Guangling on the right, Yuan Shu's army stationed in Xuyi is to wait for the best time to go north to Xuzhou, or go south to Moling, and take Jiangdu in the west." Once our army captured this place, the situation has changed, the general first got Xuzhou, close to the battle Xuyi, if the peace of Shouchun, I believe that the next place is Moling Qu'a, Liu Miao will not let us sit big, if our army and Yuan Shu are inseparable from each other, he suddenly inserted a leg, a praying mantis prey, yellow finch in the back, the soldiers out of Moling, our army must be attacked from both sides, then the form is in danger. ”
The generals were stunned.
"In this way, our army is fighting on two fronts, and the way to defeat is that our army does not have so many soldiers and horses to fight with Moling at the same time, what should we do?" Zhang Liao said a little worried after hearing this.
When everyone heard this, they didn't have the same mood as when they first won Xuyi, but they were a little worried.
At this time, suddenly someone from Guangling sent a letter overnight.
Xiapi Xiangrong, Lian Pengcheng Xiangli took advantage of Zhang Lang's southern expedition to lead 3,000 private cavalry, together with 10,000 people, to Guangling, and murdered Guangling Taishou Zhao Yu at the banquet, launched a mutiny, and led Guangling County. Later, he was afraid that Xuzhou would send troops, so he offered Guangling to Liu Xuan. Liu Miao was overjoyed, and ordered the ceremony to be based on Moling City, south of Rongtun County, and set off with the existing to observe the great changes, and led the army to Qu'a.
After everyone heard the news, there was a dead silence, and they couldn't imagine that if the key thing was to happen, their backyard would catch fire, Guangling would be lost, and they would be attacked on three sides, which would be very dangerous, and the situation would be quite serious now.
Cheng Yu's face changed several times, he was furious, and roared to Tian Feng: "Zhenrong and Xue Li are so hateful, when Tao Gong reigned in Guangling, Xiapi, and Pengcheng were the governors of the three cities, he was ambitious, and arrogant and indulgent, killing innocents indiscriminately, extremely extravagant and wasteful. ”
Tian Feng's face turned blue and white for a while, knowing that he was right about things and not people, and he was also thinking about Zhang Lang, but he made such a mistake at such a critical moment, which was really unexpected, and he was a little to blame, so he could only be silent.
Zhang Lang spoke out at the right time to comfort the two and said: "Everyone can't start an internal disturbance whenever something happens, and there are things to discuss." There is no way to decide. ”
I don't want my subordinates to have conflicts over a little thing, although Tian Feng and Cheng Yu have a very good relationship, but both of them have upright surnames, and it is inevitable that there will be a dispute between words, so it is better to turn hostility into friendship.
Xu Shu seemed to be stumped, walking left and right, bowing his head thoughtfully, and muttering, "It's a big trouble." ”
Zhang Lang also frowned and thought hard, this time the trouble is not ordinarily big, very big, Yangzhou forces are staggered, thousands of knots, if it is just Liu Xuan, there is nothing to be afraid of, Guo Jia said to himself, although the strength of Xuan is not weak, and there is a Hui Ji Taishou Wang Lang as a backup, but he is incompetent, not to be afraid. Because there are many thieves such as Liyang Wu Jing, Wu Jun Xu Gong, Wu Zhong Yan Baihu and so on. But now that Guangling is gone, if there are capable people in Liu Xuan, send troops to Jiangdu, go north to Xuzhou, and form a double ghost with Yuan Shuqiao's army, then Xuzhou is really in danger. If you want to go deeper, wait for Gao Shun and Qiao Rui to fight to the death, and suddenly there is an extra team of military horses, then Xuzhou is not in their pocket.
Xuzhou lost, their own foundation is completely gone, such as becoming a rootless Pingping, nearly a year of hard work in vain.
The more Xu Shu thought about it, the more serious he felt, and he lost his voice: "In this way, our army is attacked on all sides, the left and upper are the Yuan army, and the right and lower are the Liu army. ”
Tian Feng woke up from Cheng Yu's scolding, and said casually: "Although the situation is critical, it has not been bad to this extent, not to mention whether Yuan Shu and Liu Miao will stand on the same position, the land of Yangzhou is complicated, and I believe that Liu Miao has scruples about sending troops." ”
Cheng Yu also calmed down a little, not as excited as just now, looked at Tian Feng with a slight lack of satisfaction in his heart, and then said: "I think everyone should know that Liu Miao was driven to Qu'a because of Yuan Shu." If we can join forces with Liu and Yuan, there may be unexpected results. ”
Tian Feng shook his head disapprenantly and said: "Liu Xuan sent the rebel army Zhenrong and Xue Litun to Moling, and his own army was stationed in Qu'a, and his ambition was obvious, and he must be waiting for our army and Yuan Shu to defeat both sides, and then capture Xuyi in one fell swoop." How could it be possible to stand on the same alliance line with our army, saying that our army is determined to be in the south of the Yangtze River, and then we have to tear up our faces with Liu Xuan, that is not to make the world laugh at the fact that the lord is a capricious villain. ”
At this time, Guo Jiaping, who had not spoken for a long time, said to Zhang Lang angrily: "Lord, my subordinates have an idea. ”
Everyone knows that although Guo Jia usually doesn't have a lot of plans (of course, if you want to come out, the big ones will come out, and the small ones are not interesting), but every time is at the most critical time, and it is also the most effective, and you can't help but look at it.
Zhang Lang saw that he was confident, and his heart was a lot more steady. Smiled: "Tell me about it." ”
Guo Jia glanced around at everyone, with indescribable chic and temperament on his handsome face, and said slowly: "The lord Kexi and Liu Biao will go south to Yangzhou." ”
Then without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, he continued: "On the surface, our army is extremely dangerous, but in fact, it is safe and sound, Yuan Shu is incompetent, why worry about it, first lie that Liu Biao's army is pressing, Yuan Shu's heart is hanging, and he is worried that Shouchun will lose, and he is in a dilemma. During this time, a politician can lobby Liu Biao, willing to form an alliance, as long as Liu Biao sends troops to suppress Yuan 4, our army can fight Liu Miao without scruples, and get his land. ”
Although Zangba is a general, but such a profound thing, he is still confused: "Then our goal is not from Yuan Shu to Liu Xuan, this is not good." ”
Guo Jia nodded lightly, and Jun's face showed some helplessness and said, "The general trend is compelling, there is no other way." ”
Xu Shu first agreed with Guo Jia's idea, and then added: "What we need most now is time, we didn't estimate the situation at the beginning, no one thought that Liu Miao would get Guangling so bloodlessly, messing up our square inches, now we have to hold the time for Liu Xuan's soldiers to leave Guangling, otherwise Yuan Shu did not retreat, and Qu'a's army would hit our hometown." ”
Cheng Yuhui turned his eyes twice, calculated in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is not difficult, Zhenrong is very ambitious, and he is irritable and greedy for money, the lord can deceive him for all kinds of benefits, such as Guangling Taishou, and give more money, don't want him to attack Qu'a Moling, etc., just he has to volunteer in front of Liu Xuan, hold Guangling, or send troops to Xuzhou, as soon as the soldiers and horses arrive in Jiangdu, they encourage him to stand on his own, and pretend that he is willing to form an alliance and be each other's lips and teeth." It will be against Liu, at that time Guangling will be able to block some of Qu's army, and Xue Li and Zhenrong have a very thick relationship, Rong Yi is self-reliant, and he will not be left behind in Moling, at that time, Liu Miao has the ability to go north to Xuyi Xuzhou in a short time. ‘
Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Wonderful, wonderful." Zhongde is also a clever plan. ”
Everyone also nodded frequently.
After Tian Feng chewed Cheng Yu and Guo Jia's words carefully, he said a little unwillingly: "According to the meaning of filial piety, it is not for nothing that Liu Biao is cheap, our army Xuyi consumes the money and food of soldiers and horses so much, just for the land of Huainan, in case Liu Biao attacks Shouchun, wouldn't our army be bamboo and blue to draw water?" The capture of the strategic location of Xuyi was to prepare for the westward advance into Huainan and even the march into Jingxiang Bashu. It's unwilling, so cheap for others. ”
Guo Jiachang laughed a few times, shook his head and said: "Mr. Tian's words are different, I only know one thing, but I don't know the other. Liu Biao is more than successful, enterprising is not enough, this was born in Taiping, the generation of the three princes who ruled the world, but in troubled times, but there is no tendency to swallow mountains and rivers. Attacking Yuan Shu, it will suffer from gains and losses, and it does not need all its strength. Yuan Shu since Nanyang, the head of the Kwantung warlords, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, if there is no momentum of breaking the axe and sinking the boat, how can it be overcome? ”
It makes sense for everyone to think about it.
"In Zeze, I heard Zhongde's words just now, my strategy has changed, it is better to take Yuan Shu first, and then fight Liu Xuan." Guo Jia smiled and continued.
Xu Shu laughed and said: "Yes, I really don't know if Zhen Rong and Xue Li are good things for the bad lord, or good things for the lord." ”
"Of course, it's a good thing to fulfill the lord." Everyone spoke almost in unison, sweeping away the gloomy atmosphere just now.
At this time, Zhang Liao also returned to a relaxed mood and said happily: "Then do our army still want to ally with Liu Biao?" ”
Tian Feng stroked his hand, his eyes sparkled, and said, "It's better to form an alliance." Our army's current goal is Jiangdong, and it is a good thing to form an alliance with him, and Liu Biao is also considered to be the eight counties of Jingzhou. ”
Zangba also felt that he had benefited a lot, and he was with smart people all day long, and he also felt that he had become much smarter, so he said casually: "What about the two of them, I don't think the lord will really form an alliance with him." ”
Zhang Lang laughed after hearing this, patted Zangba's broad shoulder with his hand, looked at this very resolute man and smiled: "In this way, the two of them will not hesitate to kill them, not to mention anything else, if they harm Zhao Yu, I will ask them to return with their lives." Speaking of the back, Zhang Lang's face was cold, and a strong murderous aura emanated from his body.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and at the same time felt that it was a pity for Zhao Yu, it was the time to show his talents, but he encountered such a misfortune.
Tian Feng also sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Even if the lord doesn't look for them, I believe that the Zhao Yu clan will touch Guangling and slaughter it with one sword." ”
Zhang Liao nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everything had been resolved, he couldn't help but praise: "The lord has four military advisors here, what else is difficult for us." ”
All four looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Lang was really happy in his heart, and with these four people, he could sit back and relax.
Guo Jia finally concluded: "It is imperative that we do two things, one is to send a person who can speak well and be good to secretly send an envoy to Zhirong to turn against Liu. Another person was sent to Liu Biaoshang to form an alliance. If the two things are safe, then the longevity and spring can be determined, and the moling can be determined. ”
In the end, everyone discussed and decided that Guo Jia would bring a letter to see Zhenrong, and Tian Feng would go to Liu Biao.
The two of them prepared to leave.
The news that Xuzhou sent troops to Linhuai soon spread to Cao Ying, at this time Cao Ying's Yanzhou battle against Lu Jin, there were mutual victories and defeats, but Cao Ying's account was finally a fierce general's good strategy, although Lu Bu was brave and fierce, there were several masters in the world, but the defeat had been achieved, and most of Yanzhou fell out of Cao Ying's hands.
Cao Ying learned that Zhang Lang took advantage of his time in Pinglu to send troops to Xuyi, preparing to fight Yuan Shu. couldn't help but show a look of shock and anxiety on his face, and his two small eyes emitted a chilling light left and right.
Xi Zhicai also seemed to know Cao Ying's thoughts, and his face became a little clear because of Lian Yuelai's hard thinking. Fu Qing had to enter and said: "General, Zhang Lang, and the tiger." There are a lot of capable people under his command, if he is allowed to get the land of Huainan, like a tiger with wings, then the tiger will go down the mountain, it will be a great disaster. ”
Cao Ying sighed, his long beautiful sideburns were more graceful, not angry or threatening, and he said distressed at this time: "Yes, Zhang Lang has always had great ambitions, so let him calm Shouchun, and then draw Jiangnan, it will be a big harm for a long time." But I fought against Lu Bu, and I couldn't take care of it, what should I do? ”
Xi Zhicai is worthy of being Cao Ying's number one strategist, one step and three strategies, and the wisdom said: "Yes, the general is powerless to take care of it at the moment, why don't the general write a letter and send it to Yuan Shao, saying that he is willing to give up some places in Qingzhou, and let a major general lead the troops to live in Linzi, and always oppress the Langyao counties in Xuzhou." threatened Zhang Lang's rear, telling him to have to return Xuzhou in his heart. ”
Cao Yingyi frowned, and said a little unwillingly: "I just pacified Qingzhou a few years ago, how can I give it to others like this, and then Yuan Shao is the fourth and third dukes, and his ambition is not small, so he won Qingzhou, isn't it a state-shaped attack on me in Tuxuzhou?" This is not to be done. ”
Xi Zhicai smiled and shook his head and said: "The general is too worried, as long as our army strangles Jinan, Dong'e, Juping, and Liantai Mountain, Yanzhou can be guaranteed." In addition, the people of Shandong are strong and there are many thieves, although our army is flat, it is powerless to manage, which is really a chicken rib. If it is better to let Yuan Shao make a plan to drive away the wolf, Zhang Lang will be afraid of losing the rear and retreat to Xuzhou. Unable to be in the land of Tuhuainan also. It is better for both sides to go to war, and the general can benefit from the fisherman. ”
Cao Ying still frowned, his two small eyes opened and closed, thinking carefully, it was good to plan to do so.
