Chapter 623: Cutting off the other's bread
According to the current situation, Sun Jian and Xu Rong are both acting against traitors, ostensibly stabilizing people's livelihood.
It stands to reason that they should work together to make Sizhou stable and properly resettle these rebellious displaced people.
But now, the Wang clan in Sizhou found Yuan Shao for their own vital interests and asked him to make a move.
And Yuan Shao was also determined to cooperate with them for his own vital interests, and immediately prepared to order Sun Jian to find an opportunity to attack Xu Rong.
However, even if Yuan Shao was sober, before he gave this order, he still habitually consulted with the strategists, and the strategists under him naturally knew.
After Kuai Liang learned about this, he immediately came to admonish Yuan Shao.
"Yuan Gong, according to a certain person, it is very impossible to let Sun Jian directly attack Xu Rong."
"Why not?"
Kuai Liang sighed and said: "Yuan Gong, although our two soldiers and horses with Liu Jian have their own ambitions in Sizhou today, but nominally, our two soldiers and horses entered Sizhou for the Han Dynasty and to pacify the rebels and thieves in Sizhou. ”
"No matter what the means of both sides are, but in the eyes of the world, both of us are now loyal to the king."
"But now, once our army storms Xu Rong's military village and declares war on the Hebei Army, it will make it clear to the people of the world that the purpose of our entry into Sizhou this time is to seize the state and county and seize the land."
"In this way, I am afraid that Ming Gong will lose the heart of the world."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize.
He slapped his forehead heavily with his hand.
"If it weren't for Zirou's reminder, I'm afraid I would have missed a big deal!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Shao turned his head to look at the ministers one by one, and said in a deep voice: "According to the public's opinion, in the current situation, what should Yuan do about it?" ”
Everyone was weighing this matter in their hearts, and they were not in a hurry to answer.
At this time, I saw Xu You stand up again.
"Yuan Gong, there is a certain method that works, but it will take some risks."
As the most powerful adviser under Yuan Shao, since Xu You stood up and spoke, the others naturally wouldn't say much.
Yuan Shao hurriedly said, "Ziyuan, please speak." ”
Xu You said: "At the moment, Liu Jian wants to take advantage of the vast land and abundant financial resources and grain in the four prefectures of Hebei to fight a grain war with us, and he intends to use his strong strength to push down the price of grain. ”
"As long as Hebei's grain supply is cut off in the land of Sanhe, then the final winner of this battle between the two families will still be us."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was curious: "What do you mean...... Cut off the other's food? ”
Xu You said with a smile: "Naturally, there is no grain, Liu Jian transferred a large amount of grain from Hebei to the land of Sanhe and Sizhou for disaster relief, although his method of transporting grain is a method of simplifying and turning it into a complex method, but when it comes to the land of Sanhe, these grains and grasses will not be divided into a few places, at most it is just a few places to store grain!" Over the years, Yuan Gong has cultivated a lot of spies in Jingzhou, and now is the time to come in handy! ”
In terms of intelligence spying, although Yuan Shao's strength is not as strong as Liu Jian's, it is really not small, and the forces in the south are also working very hard to cultivate their own intelligence department, after all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles, most people understand this truth in this era.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he probably understood what Xu Yu meant.
"Ziyuan's idea is to let me find out the main grain storage places of the Hebei Army in the land of Sanhe, and these grain storage places are hoarding a large amount of grain and grass transferred from Hebei for disaster relief, as long as these grain and grass are burned and burned, the Hebei army will be unable to resist us in terms of grain prices, right?"
Xu You arched his hand at Yuan Shao and said: "Yuan Gong's words are very true, but there are also some omissions, right now we and Liu Jian are both coming to Sizhou to quell the rebellion." ”
"If you let Sun Jian or Huang Zu and others burn grain, they will definitely be spurned by everyone in the world."
"It is better to find out where Liu Jian's soldiers are hoarding grain and grass, and then spread these news so that those chaotic people in Sizhou will know the news!"
"Why did the rebels rebel? Isn't it just for food? ”
"Now that a large amount of grain in Hebei is in front of them, what are they afraid of? How can they not rob it? ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He clapped his hands heavily and said, "That's true! ”
"In this Sizhou land, there are so many moth thieves now, if we use them to seize Liu Jian's grain and grass for us, why do we need to go through a lot of trouble?"
"Ziyuan is really a wise man, and he is not an ordinary person."
Kuai Yue has been standing next to him, silent, he just looked at Xu Yu with a smug face coldly, and said secretly in his heart: You are conceited to be a wise man in vain, but this time it is a miscalculation, I am afraid that you will lose when you turn back!
What kind of person is Liu Deran, grain and grass is such a major event as stabilizing Sizhou and supplying his army, how can he not be vigilant? There must be a lot of ideas in all aspects, how can it be so simple to let you succeed?
At the beginning, I asked Yuan Gong to suspend his entry into the military pass, just to be able to see Liu Deran's movements in advance, so as not to make unsuitable moves and be at a loss, and now you encourage Yuan Gong to enter Sizhou in advance, this bitter fruit has to be eaten by you!
Thinking of this, I saw Kuai Yue slowly moving his steps and standing up.
"Lord, although Xu Gong's method is good, it still needs a resourceful person to assist the command of the former army officers and soldiers to succeed, after all, the stakes are very important and changing rapidly."
"At such a critical time, it is indeed better to go to the front than to talk in the rear."
This is clearly aimed at Xu You, who can only rap in the rear.
When Xu You heard this, he immediately became angry.
Good for you!
And now, you are still going to oppose me?
You are targeting me so much in front of everyone, do you think that I can only give advice in the rear, and I can't go to Qianzhen to command?
You just made a mistake in your mind, you want to make a meritorious contribution to the former town, but I can't give you this opportunity.
I saw Xu You hurriedly stand up.
"Yuan Gong, since this plan is my offering, then I have already made up my mind, and I have thought about all kinds of situations, if Yuan Gong really wants to send someone to Qianzhen, then send Xu Mou."
As soon as Kuai Yue saw Xu Yu scrambling to grab it, he secretly said in his heart, I'm afraid you won't go!
You are willing to be conceited and clever, and today you are also in my plan!
Yuan Shao observed back and forth left and right for a while, and finally believed in his No. 1 advisor.
"Okay, this plan is naturally offered by Ziyuan, then Ziyuan will design it from the front formation, and Ziyuan can be the identity of the supervising army, and he will be in Sun Jian's formation, and everything has been done."
When Xu You heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He glanced at Kuai Yue triumphantly.
Kuai Yue seemed to be quite angry on the surface, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
……
……
At the same time, on the other hand, Xu Rong ushered in a rear supervisor in Hanoi's main town.
This overseer is Jia Xu of the Governor's Office.
Although Jia Xu is very low-key, he is now quite used under Liu Jian, and when the generals see him, they all have to give a little thin noodles.
Xu Rong heard that Jia Xu was coming, so he hurriedly went out of the account to greet him.
"Mr. Wenhe, why did the lord send you?"
Jia Xu said to Xu Rong with a smile:
"The lord specially sent me to wish the general a meritorious service, this time I have a great merit to send to the general, but I am afraid that there will be some mistakes in the front, so I sent the old man here."
"If there's anything going on, let's have a discussion between us."
Jia Xu is Liu Jian's confidant, and he naturally has something important to do when he comes to the front.
Xu Rong knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for Liu Jian to send Jia Xu here for no reason.
He hurriedly said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, let's go into the tent and talk about it." ”
Jia Xu nodded with satisfaction.
In the end, he walked into the handsome tent with Xu Rong.
After sitting down, Xu Huang and Ko Yi also sat on the side.
"Sir, what did the general send you for?"
Jia Xu stroked his beard: "The general sent the old man here to prevent the Yuan army from coming to calculate our grain and grass, that's all." ”
Xu Rong is also a battle-hardened person who is good at using soldiers.
When he heard that Liu Jian had sent Jia Xu to come for food and grass, he was very puzzled.
"I am also a perennial warfighter, can't the general even trust me when it comes to protecting grain and grass?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "When it comes to defending grain and grass, the general naturally has this ability, and the general is very relieved. ”
"But the old man and the general felt that Yuan Jun might make some strange moves against our grain and grass, so they let the old man come."
"General Xu, listen to the old man......"
