Although Jizhou is inland, it is a little salty in the wind.

However, it may also be because Liu Wei is standing in Guandu at the moment.

The last time Yanzhou was in a hurry, Liu Wei didn't have time to take a look at this important place for soldiers.

Guandu, which has left a strong mark in the history of war.

Guandu is actually not big, and it is also a very simple place as far as the eye can see.

However, in terms of the similar topography, the water here is gentle and the river channel is narrower, which is indeed easier to cross.

When Liu Wei stood here in person, it basically meant that the battle of Guandu was unlikely to happen again.

"The soldier is fast, look at it, as long as you run fast, it is still very beneficial." Like a child, Liu Wei picks out the beautiful-looking stones on the river beach and then uses them to swim in the water.

Childhood experience made Liu Wei very talented in playing this game.

He threw it casually, and the stones that flew out could splash a series of splashes.

It's just that what he said was a bit clueless, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai thought for a moment, and they didn't understand what the emperor meant, only Jia Xu, who had been following Liu Wei's side, looked at the river rolling in front of him and thought of what the emperor might say.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, only the soldiers can be fast, even if Yuan Shao wants to be fast, he can't be fast at that time last year, he can only watch this moat fall into the hands of Your Majesty." ”

As soon as Jia Xu said this, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai suddenly understood.

It turned out that what the emperor was talking about was the big river in front of him.

"Along the way, I also took a closer look, if Yuan Shao occupies the north bank of the Great River, digs deep camps, and waits for the battle, it is indeed not easy for the imperial court to cross the river into Jizhou." Liu Wei said while rummaging carefully on the river beach looking for beautiful stones.

The sun is warm, this seemingly childish little game, but it can make people feel happy.

Jia Xu stepped forward and helped Liu Wei find the stone together, and said: "Your Majesty, even if the imperial court does not control the north and south banks of the Great River, Yuan Shao's fate is doomed. Whether the imperial court sent troops from Bingzhou or Qingzhou, it could drive straight into Jizhou. ”

Guo Langzhong's opinion on Yuan Shao, the minister is extremely agreeable and admired, if Yuan Shao is a little more decisive, the imperial court wants to complete the layout of the siege of Jizhou, I am afraid it will not be easy. But Yuan Shao was indecisive and had been using calm and conservative tactics in western Hebei, which led to the current situation. ”

"Even if Yuan Shao reacts now and wants to remedy it, it is too late. Whether it is this moat or the barrier in Qingzhou, it is not easy for him to recapture the fortress when our army is superior to Yuan Shao's strength. ”

Liu Wei laughed heartily, "Because I have taken one more step than Yuan Shao!" ”

When Yuan Shao rebelled from the imperial court, Liu Wei had been preparing for this matter, and the current situation was not easy.

The garrison of Bingzhou, which was Cao Cao before and Gai Xun later, not only has not decreased, but has continued to increase its troops.

During the Battle of Yanzhou, the vanguard soldiers and horses of the imperial court fought all the way through Baima and Liaocheng before stopping.

Liu Wei saw this big river and the famous Guandu at that time.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's troops going out of Qingzhou and containing Yuan Shao, and there was a Tuntian lieutenant in Dongjun, Liu Wei might not have moved his troops to Cao Ren in Liaocheng, and he would definitely let him continue to guard this big river well, and not let Yuan Shao's soldiers get through.

This extra step may not have been obvious at the time, but now the strength of the army has been achieved.

Everything is clear at a glance.

Yuan Shao, the villain, has been clenched in the palm of his hand by Liu Wei's big hands surrounded on three sides.

There wasn't much left for him to jump around.

"Your Majesty is really far-sighted and far-sighted!" Jia Xu admired it incomparably and said completely from the bottom of his heart.

The emperor is really unconvinced of Jizhou's layout and planning.

Those seemingly casual layouts actually have a lot of meaning.

When the matter came to the front, everything was clear at a glance and suddenly became clear.

The emperor's layout of the world is stable, in the emperor's own words, it is really as stable as an old dog.

Especially the selection of generals is simply a stroke of genius.

Cao Cao made good use of strange soldiers, more to win more with less, especially good at field battles, so he was in Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao was not a few soldiers in Qingzhou, but the number of soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army was terrifying.

If you count the old, weak, sick and disabled, I am afraid that it has exceeded one million.

And Gai Xun likes to be a battalion step by step and is good at siege warfare, so he has been on standby in the state.

This time, he happened to be frustrated by the person who liked to keep it.

In fact, in addition to these layouts on the surface, Jia Xu has always been thinking about Liu Yu in Youzhou.

If there is no accident in this person, he should give Yuan Shao a knife in the back.

The emperor didn't think so much about Liu Yu before, and in the last month or two, he remembered from time to time to urge Liu He to contact his father by letter. At the juncture of the war, how can this be simply a letter of contact?

"Foresight...... Liu Wei chuckled and threw a stone into the river.

He can't be regarded as a long-term plan, but he knows that he is inferior to others, so he made some preparations early.

Truly smart people rely on their intelligence.

And his intelligence is not more than a human being, so he can only rely on diligence and hard work.

Qin An came from a distance, holding a piece of music in both hands and sending it to Liu Wei, "Your Majesty, Zhu Situ is in a hurry." ”

"Tell me what's going on." Liu Wei, who was busy with his work, didn't bother to look through it himself, just glanced at it, and then explained that Qin An could state it after reading it.

Qin An opened the sealed watch, and after reading it, he said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Situ has built a granary and is sending troops to clean up the official roads in various places to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass. ”

"Got it, let him be ready and not let go." Liu Wei said, "The grain he holds in his hand is the key to whether the imperial court can capture Jizhou, if he goes on a business trip, I can't spare him!" ”

"Yui!"

This place of White Horse, Liu Wei's impression seems to have a lot to do with the Battle of Guandu.

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, although Yuan Shao is not a good person, he also has several far-sighted people under his command, and the judges, Xu You and others are all talented, and the imperial court has always been struggling with food and grass, which is probably the consensus of the whole world." Faced with an embattled situation, the minister was worried that Yuan Shao would make a desperate attempt to attack our army's grain and grass. ”

"Crossing the river to burn grain?" Liu Wei said with a smile.

Jia Xu bowed, "If Yuan Shao fights against the water, there is a ninety-eight chance that he will do so." ”

"Do you know why I always like to use Xiahou Yuan?" Liu Wei suddenly asked.

Jia Xu suddenly understood.

He said, well, how could the emperor, who has always liked to keep a hand, not prepare at all.

Jia Xu said: "The minister is brave, although General Xiahou does not have the ability to command an army of 100,000, he is a good general who leads 10,000 cavalry. ”

Liu Wei waved his hand, "Actually, Xiahou Yuan is far inferior to Cao Ren, Zhang Liao and others in fighting, but he has three very good advantages, he can obey orders, know how to hide, and dare to fight!" In my eyes, it is enough for a general to have these points. ”

"And Xiahou Yuan is now playing these points well, especially the means of concealment. With such a strange army in the rear, Wen Heke is still worried? ”

Jia Xu bowed his hand, "The minister is naturally still a little worried. ”

"There is no absolutely stable war in the world, and the minister does not dare to underestimate the enemy."
