344. Timely rain delivery
Actually, to defeat Jiangdong or something, Lin Mo was not too excited.
In the past, the strength of Guangling was equal and he could beat Sun Ce down, not to mention that now, the strength has been crushed, and when the time and place are favorable, if you win, you will win.
On the contrary, it was Huang Zu's incident that made Lin Mo feel that it was the biggest gain in the entire Huainan Campaign.
In the short term, it seems that it is just a gap crack within Liu Jun.
But this kind of rift cannot be repaired, the blood feud of the extinction of the door, how can it be said that it can be put down, in the long run, not only will this matter not let Huang Zu slowly forget it over time, on the contrary, in countless sleepless nights, this matter will be like a thorn that will make his heart bleed forever.
In this case, if you give him a favor first, and then give him a big gift, no matter how you look at it, he will be shaken.
It is obviously impossible to say that he should directly rebel and become his own shadow, after all, Liu Biao should have had a good relationship with him during his tenure, otherwise he would not have risked such a big resistance to support Liu Qi.
But as far as this matter is concerned, at least it has given him a bridge of communication between himself and Huang Zu.
In the foreseeable future, not to mention that he directly brought people to jump ship, the probability of Huang Zu himself switching will be very high.
Gan Ning is indeed brave, but after all, he is at the level of a naval general, and in terms of the commander's ability of the naval division, it is estimated that there is a gap with Huang Zubi.
If you want to go to Jingxiang, the water war here will not be bypassed.
Judging from the current situation, it is not easy to determine the victory or defeat of Sizhou, but it is the old father-in-law's devastating momentum, Cao Cao still has more than 100,000 sailors in Jingzhou, and sooner or later he will have to face it.
Based on this point, Huang Zu is almost an indispensable talent.
Zhuge Liang may not understand this, but they have no choice, this feeling of controlling several forces from the overall situation is very cool!
"Yunwen."
Zhao Yun turned around and went out to prepare a gift for Huang Zu, and Qiao Gong came over.
As a righteous father-in-law, the title is much more casual.
As soon as he came, Xiao Qiao stood up very sensibly, bowed and went into the inner room.
"The Lu family's reply." He placed a silk cloth on the stone table.
It was Lu Xun's handwritten letter, and this young man in his early twenties turned out to be quite thorough in his research on the flow of nonsense.
The two silk cloths sprinkled with joy, in addition to compliments and congratulations, there are not a few nutritious words, and there are three words throughout the article, I will not go.
"Lujiang's position can't attract him, it seems that he is not ambitious." Lin Mo snorted coldly.
In fact, this result was quite surprising to him.
Qiao Gong just nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I know what Yunwen thinks, Lu Kang was also the Taishou of Lujiang back then, and he was martyred after the city was broken, and the Lu family also suffered a lot of casualties because of this."
To say that the Lu family has a grudge against Sun Ce, this is indeed true, but Lu Xun is only Lu Kang's grandson after all, and he can't be too close emotionally. ”
Lin Mo smiled and said tentatively: "Many of the Lu family's clansmen were originally in Lujiang, Lord Yuezhang should have friends with many people, right?" ”
"I do have some friendship with Lu Kang, but the foundation of the Lu family is in Wu County, and the original head of the family is Lu Xun's grandfather, Lu Xun, who also stays in Wu County all the year round and is reluctant to leave.
The current head of the family also let Sun Ce hang up a Jiujiang captain, but the people are still guarding Wu County, and the dock and aviation industry of the Lu family are inseparable from people after all. ”
When Gong Qiao said this, Lin Mo understood and sighed: "Actually, I also know that the four major families are in the same spirit, and I am afraid that Lu Xun has the final say in this matter."
It seems that they still have a fluke mentality. ”
If you have a choice, I believe that more people still want the latter, after all, they are expanding their territory.
"I may not be able to help with the affairs of Jiangdong, but their hands can't reach for Huainan, you can rest assured of this."
Qiao Gong confidently promised: "The marriage is finalized, everyone knows that the Qiao family and the Marquis of Lanling are one, and I and Ziyang will join forces to ensure that this is a place where Jiangdong scholars can't live." ”
"I'm relieved to have my father-in-law's words."
Lin Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, "By the way, I'm going to go back to Pengcheng in another ten days, when the time comes."
Qiao Guild nodded knowingly, "Take them with you." ”
"Thank you, Lord Yue."
This matter is still very smooth, Xiao Qiao did not complain about women as he imagined, and the two things of perfume and soap were taken care of.
Of course, it's more voluntary.
A man always hopes to find a girl who can accompany him through thick and thin.
But in fact, most of the girls' nature is Muqiang, and this kind of request that violates human nature is often not answered.
This ice city is not small, it is cold, but it is not so difficult for people to survive.
The bonfire for heating is a little farther away from the city walls, and it is not a big problem.
A cavalryman galloped in through the open gate, which was then closed again, and his direction was the tent of the Chinese army in the city.
"Lu Bu really moved the grain and grass camp, hundreds of thousands of grain and grass will be removed in such a short period of time, and it is indispensable to requisition people from Huayin, everything is going according to plan."
Cao Cao's expression was very solemn, and he was not overjoyed by the news brought back by the scout, on the contrary, he looked at Fa Zheng with a somewhat melancholy expression and said, "But there is something wrong with this matter." If he doesn't believe in our separation, then he should take advantage of the situation and let the Ma family surrender; If you believe it, even if you move the camp, it is reasonable to lay an ambush in the direction of the original camp.
What do you think? ”
Fa Zheng twisted his fingers, frowning, obviously feeling that this point was not quite right.
In the original plan, as soon as this discordant plan came out, the people who appropriated the camp and then learned about the new grain and grass camp site, which is beyond doubt, but the deception and ambush, there will definitely be one of the two, which is also the clever place where the original design of the discord plan is clever.
Even if Lu Bu didn't follow Pang Tong's advice and insisted on going his own way, then according to his temper and brains, there would be war in Tongguan City.
But now, only half of the situation that should have occurred appeared, and the other half did not appear as scheduled, and Cao Cao and Fa Zheng were a little worried.
It stands to reason that they couldn't have guessed the whole plan before they made the first move.
So why is this unconscionable?
This is not a battle of wits under the surging undercurrent, maybe from Lu Bu's point of view, but from Cao Cao's point of view, this is a battle with the Central Plains stud, and there is no room for situations outside of control.
"It may be that Pang Tong really saw the clues, but in the end, the letter of separation still planted the seeds of doubt in Lu Bu's heart, and he didn't dare to bet, so there was a different situation than expected."
After thinking about it for a while, Fa Zheng analyzed: "Judging from the current situation, it is more likely that they are on the defensive, and they will not guess the movements of Chen Zhi and Wu Yi.
However, as long as the camp is moved, the generals of the Lu army in this battalion will eventually have an opinion on the old department of Guanzhong, and with this premise, the plan can still be successful. ”
There is no way, now, the law lacks a basis to judge the true situation of Lu Jun, and the clues that have surfaced at present can only be inferred to this level.
Cao Cao stroked his short beard and slowly bowed his head.
Obviously, he agrees with that.
It's just that he just arrived outside the Tongguan City and encountered a wave of Lu Bu's recklessness, he almost couldn't stay anymore, and barely relied on the ice city to support it, and now there is an unexpected situation, Cao Cao, who is already suspicious by nature, still can't be calm after all, he paced back and forth in the tent, thinking about whether there is a better way to further confirm the situation in the Guan.
Half an hour has passed, and nothing has been found after all.
He began to regret tossing here, in fact, he regretted it a little on the day he was put through the camp by Lu Bumang.
knew earlier, he should still follow Fazheng's original advice to fight Xuzhou, because Guo Jia's plan was also to fight Xuzhou.
However, he ate too much deflated there, and Cao Cao instinctively resisted Xuzhou.
Coupled with the issue of war horses, it was decided to take Sizhou.
Right now
"Xiaozhi, this is our only turning point, if something really goes wrong, Lu Bu doesn't even need to act, just wait for three months, after the spring flowers bloom, the ice city will melt, and our tens of thousands of people will become lambs exposed in the wilderness, eaten up by his cavalry."
"Is Sikong trying to shrink his forces and prepare for the worst?" Fa Zheng asked straight to the point.
Cao Cao didn't answer, just looked straight at him, his eyes flickered a little, and the answer was self-evident.
"It is true that if Sizhou is defeated here, the two states of the Central Plains will be in danger, especially General Cao Hong of Qian County, I am afraid that he will not even have time to evacuate." Fa Zheng spoke very straightforwardly, and he didn't feel looked down on because of Cao Cao's sudden pessimism.
Originally, he didn't approve of fighting Sizhou, but it was Cao Cao who made this choice firmly.
Here, the supply line is too long, and if there is any danger, it is difficult to return to Xuchang.
"I think that if I lose, Lin Mo in Xuzhou and Zhang Liao in Jizhou will take the opportunity to make trouble, and if I want to withdraw when the time comes, it will be difficult."
Cao Cao sighed and said astringently: "On the contrary, if Chen thinks that they can succeed, then Lu Bu will be defeated, and they will not dare to make any changes even if they score half a point." ”
"It's good to plan early, after all, once the Sizhou battlefield is lost, the situation of the two states in the Central Plains being pinned down is completely formed, and it is better to leave early than to go late."
After Fa Zheng finished speaking, Cao Cao also nodded, "Filial piety knows my heart." ”
Then, Cao Cao turned back to the handsome chair and wrote three letters hard, and after the big seal was dropped, he hurriedly asked people to pass the order.
Just because there is a link in the pass where Lu Bu did not go according to the expected direction, he had to dispatch the rear troops and horses, and it might even cause the loss of the city, which seems to be somewhat of a soldier.
can be used as a stud game of the Central Plains War, Cao Cao has no choice, the battle is started in Sizhou, but what can be decided is the lifeblood of the two states of the Central Plains.
In the north, snow is falling.
Zhang Liao, who received the letter from Sizhou, was excited, and shook the silk cloth in front of Jia Xu, and said with a smile: "Look, look, Wen Hou asked me to rush to Mengjin within a month, it seems that there is already a strategy to break the enemy, I am going to block Cao Cao's retreat!" ”
Jia Xu took the silk cloth and looked at it carefully.
The content of the letter was not exhaustive, but it was clear that Pang Tong had seen through the divisive plan, and because of this, he was unable to react for a long time.
"What do you think, this must be a plan, and deal with it with a trick, when Ma Chao mixes into Cao Ying, he will definitely be able to break Cao Cao!" Seeing that Jia Xu didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Liao couldn't help but say.
"No, it won't."
Jia Xu shook his head slowly, "Cao Cao dared to enter Sizhou rashly, how could he act in a discordant manner." ”
"What do you mean by this, don't you think Wen Hou's decision is too arbitrary?" Zhang Liao frowned and asked.
"But it's not."
Jia Xu's expression was solemn, and then he chuckled, "If the previous hexagram was not wrong, Sizhou must have made a small work, could it be that Wen Hou has already dug up this fine work, but even so, how can it be related to this divisive plan."
Cao Cao has only one way to win, to attack the grain and grass, and there is no other way to do it, let me think about it."
Zhang Liao was not anxious about Jia Xu, who was full of doubts about Lu Bu's letter, in his mind, the old yin was an existence that could wrestle with Lin Mo.
As for Pang Tong, it must be under these two people, whether it is a phoenix chick or a phoenix title on his head, he doesn't care.
He only knew that now Lu Bu was a unified person around him, and he would act mainly with this person, if Jia Xu felt safe, then there would be no mistakes in this matter.
"Wen He, you can't underestimate the discord plan, Yun Wen is the one who made the ten departments of Guanzhong fall apart with this discord plan." Maybe it's been too long, Zhang Liao couldn't help but remind.
"No, no, Cao Cao is fighting this battle with his family, how could he be perfunctory with such a small skill of carving insects."
Jia Xu stroked his white beard and muttered and analyzed, "The old department of Guanzhong is newly surrendered, and it cannot be trusted by Wenhou, so the discordant plan does have the possibility of success, but it will not be too big."
However, in addition to the division, this divisive plan also has the advantage of making the soldiers and horses in the city panic and wary of each other, and if they are wary of each other, they will naturally be suspicious of each other. Even so, it also needs to have soldiers and horses to bypass Tongguan to succeed, so Cao Jun should have taken Wuguan Road in advance, well, it should be, after arriving in Weinan, there will be fine food to feed him, so it seems that this fine work is extraordinary.
After that, send people to the grain and grass camp to falsely claim that there is a big chaos in the pass, and the Ma family raised troops to let the Cao army enter the pass, and the garrison of the grain and grass camp will rush to save people if they don't see the soldiers, after all, they have all eaten Cao Cao's discord before, and they will instinctively feel that the Ma family will indeed raise troops, so that the Cao army that came from Wuguan Road will have a chance to succeed.
This serial plan is used well, and I don't know who gave it to Cao Ying, he is really a master, admire and admire. ”
Zhang Liao scratched his head and looked at Jia Xu in confusion, "Old thing, what are you talking about, I can't understand a word." ”
"Oh, nothing."
Jia Xu shook his head, "Although this letter has the seal of Wen Hou, it was written by Pang Shiyuan, he has the name of Feng Xiao, he should not understand that the method of division is not Cao Cao's pattern, so he should also see through his intentions."
is really a genius, and the strategists who set up this series of schemes with Cao Ying are all great talents, in comparison, they are really dwarfed by mere ones, like a horse than a unicorn. ”
After saying a lot, Zhang Liao still didn't understand what he was saying, but the last sentence sounded a little ashamed, so he patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, I don't dislike you." ”
"Thank you, General." Jia Xu was grateful.
"However, there are still tens of thousands of Cao troops in White Horse City, so even if I go over, I can't bring too many people, take 10,000 people, and then bring my eight hundred old brothers, Cao Jun will be defeated and Mengjin, then they will have no return!"
Zhang Liao patted his chest, the battle intent was raging, and then he looked at Jia Xu faintly, "Don't go, Yecheng is the lifeblood of our army, I'm leaving, you are leaving, who will guard Liyang?" ”
"It's okay, but if the general doesn't bring a few capable lieutenants here, I'm afraid that he will be too late when dispatching troops and horses, who are you going to take with you?"
"Who's taking you?"
Zhang Liao was a little melancholy, "Jiang Yiqu is also a school captain, Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan is not good, it is indeed a little troublesome, but it's a pity, it would be good if Peping was here, there would be no such annoying things." ”
There is no way, Xiaoguan is also the gateway to Xuzhou, and Gao Shun can hold it.
There is still a shortage of middle-level generals.
If you want to blame Lin Mo, a stinky boy, he took everyone away, Yan Liangwen didn't keep it for me, Hao Zhao also took it away, and the full favor was on Wenhou's side, Wei Yue and Zhang Xiu were not there.
Headache, headache
"General, Guo Huai, please see you." A sergeant ran in to make a gesture.
"Guo Huai?"
Zhang Liao blinked, "It's Guo Huai who went with Zilong to fight against the city, I heard that he was quite powerful, and he came to defect with Hao Zhao, wasn't he in Youzhou, why did he come over?" Let him in. ”
"Whoa!"
Not long after the sergeant retreated, he was dressed in armor, and his face was resolute with a little cracked, and it looked like he had suffered a lot of wind and frost in the bitter cold land.
"General Zhang, the last general Guo Huai was ordered to come and wait for the general's dispatch!" Guo Huai gave up.
It was the first time for the two to meet, but Zhang Liao's name Guo Huai was still like thunder, and he was very respectful when he saw him sitting on a handsome chair.
"On orders? By whose orders? Zhang Liaohu wondered.
Guo Huai took out the document stamped with Lu Bu's seal and respectfully put it on the table, "Two months ago, I received an order from Wen Hou to ask the last general to be on standby in Yecheng. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Liao and Jia Xu glanced at each other, Zhang Liao was fine, but he felt that it was a timely rain, and someone sent a pillow when he was dozing.
He didn't know what level Guo Huai was, but the talents who could make Lin Mo and Zhao Yun both optimistic were better than Jiang Yiqu and them, and it would definitely not be a problem to be his own lieutenant.
But Jia Xu instinctively felt that this would not be the situation where Cao Cao was going to attack and finally lose before the Sizhou War, right?
It's not so mysterious, no matter how powerful he is, he won't be so evil.
If it's Lin Yunwen, I believe it.
Anyway, the timing of Guo Huai's arrival was really good, and seeing that Jia Xu had no other opinions, Zhang Liao finalized the action plan.
Guo Huai is light and light on the surface, but he is crazy in his heart.
Wow, he Hao Bodao has made great contributions in Anfeng, and the Hu people in the border pass have been much more honest in the past two years, and they still want to take war merits, and they have to be on the battlefield in the Central Plains.
I didn't expect that there would be such a piece of fat as soon as I came back.
It must be a battle to be worthy of the name of the Guo family!
