Chapter 214: Showing weakness in Jingzhou, the undercurrent is surging
"We have been a responsible person for a year, training honestly, abiding by military rules, strictly disciplining ourselves, and being bullied to the head, in the past, we used to take advantage of others, but what about this time? This time, not only was he taken advantage of, but also the lives of many brothers were lost. ”
Zhang Han's words were like a cold wind, and his expression was also quite gloomy, these words had been said many times on the way.
"So when you come to Wancheng, you need to show some attitude, otherwise you will be ridiculed in the future."
"I can think of it," Dian Wei scratched his head, and said loudly: "I am here to save face, if I have no achievements and are blocked by others, then I will be laughed to death by the civil and military forces of Jingzhou." ”
Zhang Han glanced at him and said, "So, you can't slack off, this time when you come to Wancheng, you should be based on Wancheng and Wancheng, and sit in Xinye." ”
"Within three days, send the armor cavalry to disperse, and then combine the existing intelligence, first survey the terrain, and then discuss the strategy."
"Gongyou has been to Jingzhou, and he has also made some friends with local masters, and he can do foreign politics, and he will show Liu Biao my intentions, and he will show weakness first, and he will say...... I didn't come to Wancheng with any malice, but because the war horse had funded Jingzhou before, so I wanted to take this opportunity to be friendly with Xiangyang, govern the Nanyang area, and rely here in exchange for some merits and turn over. ”
"Okay, I understand, that's how people get in touch." Sun Qian bowed his hand, and the whole person was also very solemn, after all, this situation was created by him.
Zhang Han has borne too many losses, and now he has the opportunity to make up for his mistakes, of course he will not miss it, and strive to make amends.
After the crowd dispersed, Jia Xudianwei stayed, while Zhao Yun and Gao Shun went to lead the troops to settle down, garrison the main roads of each pass, occupy the water source, and at the same time send cavalry to explore the terrain in various places.
Jia Xu stepped forward and said: "Prince, our troops are scarce, although we are fine, we must not be consumed here, and it is not appropriate to start a war with Jingzhou." ”
"In this way, it is the best policy to show weakness in the front, and then secretly investigate the key points, but the tactics are not only the victory or defeat, but also the containment is extremely important, and then I think that not only Wancheng threatens the northwest of Jingzhou, but the most important thing is to suppress it on the whole line and cut off the road to the north of Jingzhou."
"Qiaojun can ask for the help of the eldest prince, Guangling is Wenyuan, and Xuzhou is naturally Bao Xiang, so we should advance and retreat with them first."
"What's your plan?" Zhang Han looked at Jia Xu with a smile, he knew that Jia Lao had never liked to talk, and once he spoke, he would think about it carefully.
As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure, and Jia Xu, this old baby, must have a plan when he has a bad stomach.
"The old man has a plan."
"I have a plan, too!" Zhang Han's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.
When the two looked at each other, they laughed tacitly, and Zhang Han smiled heartily: "It's better to be like this, you and I write it in the palm of our hands, how about seeing it together?" ”
Dian Wei looked left and right, blinked, and said stunned: "Can you really have this kind of tacit understanding?" ”
This scene is mysterious, quite unfathomable, Dian Wei didn't believe it, and was full of interest.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "The prince can still have such interest, which shows that there is no chaos in his heart, so the old man is also relieved, come, write down a try, and see if I have the same strategy!" ”
"Let's go!"
The two of them each picked up a pen in front of a plan, wrote down all the strategies in the palm of their hands, and then turned their heads and walked closer.
Jia Xu was relieved in his heart, the prince and the marquis now also liked these little tricks between the scribes, although they were useless, but they could bring the relationship between each other closer.
As for what the plan is, there is no need to think about it, the prince is so smart, he must know what he thinks in his heart.
The two of them came together and opened their palms, revealing the words on their palms.
Between Jia Xu's palms was written with the word "leading the tiger", while Zhang Han's palms were the words "still thinking", and Jia Xu was numb when he saw people.
I didn't vomit or be unhappy in my heart, and immediately frowned and said: "I didn't think about you here, this is also, and at the same time write, look at the tacit understanding between you and me, there is no tacit understanding at all......"
When is it, I still have the heart to tease the old man, what kind of mentality do you have, which makes my blood boil! I thought that there was going to be a tacit understanding at the historical level, which could be passed down as a good story to the world.
"Wen and you tell me first, what is the plan to attract the tiger?"
Zhang Han smiled, pulled Jia Xu to sit down, and curiously heard his plan.
Yinhu, these two words are very interesting, and Zhang Han did have a lot of wonderful ideas in his heart after seeing the two words, which may become a strategy, which can be regarded as gradually guessing what Jia Xu thinks.
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Jiangdong Sun Ce, the intention is to go west, or to the north, he must have one of these two places to make achievements, in order to gain a firm foothold in his own territory, get a basis, and get the support of scholars." ”
"Otherwise, although he is brave, he has no power to dominate, he is not afraid of civil and military affairs, and he has no worries, so he naturally will not think that he Sun Ce can win the great cause and establish a vast territory.
"Now, the southern borders of Guangling and Lujiang are heavily garrisoned, in fact, if you want to lure the tiger here, it is the easiest thing to do, just shrink the strength of the garrison here."
Zhang Han lowered his head and pondered, and a fragmentary map of this area quickly appeared in his mind, and most of the maps of Jiangnan were still preserved in his memory, and even the detailed defense lines of Lujiang, Anhui and other places.
Soon, I came to the conclusion that this method was indeed feasible.
Giving way to Sun Ce, if he figured it out, he would definitely lead his troops across the river, along the Yangtze River into where Huang Zu was, and approach the land of Jiangxia, and after his soldiers and horses passed, he would push the garrison to the border ferry and occupy the river, so that Sun Ce could not return the same way.
In this way, it is impossible to have the story of "cold lips and teeth", and it is impossible for the false Dao to appear in southern Xinjiang, and Sun Ce's soldiers and horses can go from Yuzhang and occupy Yuzhang by taking advantage of the situation to make achievements.
The only bad thing about this plan is that although it did consume the soldiers and horses of the two families, it gave Sun Ce some results.
Sure enough, Jia Xu's next words were not bad with what Zhang Han thought in his heart, and at the end of the speech, Jia Xu said: "Yes, we only need to continue to threaten the main road of Jingzhou after showing weakness, attack and harass the local merchants, destroy the fields of Xinye, accumulate troops, wait for the opportunity, and wait for the opportunity to find the opportunity, but in one fell swoop, we can break through Xinye, and we can make the entire Xiangyang fall into a threat." ”
"Once Xiangyang falls into a crisis, Liu Biao has to send troops on both sides, once the troops are divided, the people in the territory will be chaotic, how can there be peace in the past?" Jia Xu had a confident smile on his face, and even snorted coldly.
This kind of strategy, he is the best at, there is no need to consider the heart of the Jingzhou military and the people, as long as the strategy is successful, it will cause chaos in the peaceful land of Jingzhou, and make it difficult for Liu Jingsheng's government to be stable.
"Okay, according to Mr.'s plan," Zhang Han nodded with his hands behind his back, not thinking too much about it at all, the battle of troubled times is like this, how to treat the people with kindness, in fact, that is what Shengping's world should consider, and the troubled times should be the hegemon's arrival, and the foundation should be fixed first.
"Send letters to Zixuan, Wenyuan, and my Uncle Bao."
It's up to you, my righteous father.
……
In the past ten days, Zhang Han has been very peaceful when he was stationed in Wancheng, except for daily military training, he has never seen visitors, nor has he walked around, but only running back and forth in the barracks and government offices.
And the people Sun Qian once befriended also took advantage of Liu Xian's connections, and made an appointment with Liu Xian outside Xiangyang to meet, and at the same time, he also came because Liu expressed his intention to let Liu Shizong come to find out Zhang Han's intentions.
According to common sense, after Zhang Han suffered losses, he suddenly stationed near Jingzhou, of course, with bad intentions.
However, how angry Zhang Han is at the moment still needs to be explored, which is also very important for Liu Biao's attitude in the future.
As a result, as soon as they met and discussed, Sun Qian greeted Liu Xian with a smile before he could say a few words, and asked him to call Han Song to come again, and they would go to the city together to be a guest, and Zhang Han would entertain him wholeheartedly.
Liu Xian couldn't make a decision.
"The people of Jingzhou feel quite bad about the meaning of the prince and the marquis, so most people have the intention of rejection, and want to go to the court and let the prince be transferred, this is the words of a state official, even the Son of Heaven should also need to be considered."
"Sir," Sun Qian immediately bowed his hand, still smiling with a smile on his face, respectfully and respectfully, "My prince already knows that the previous incident offended your lord, but at the beginning, the five hundred war horses were counted as my funding for Jingzhou, do you remember?" ”
Sun Qian's implication is that since it is a funding, it means to make friends, and the two sides do not need to be so tense at all.
Moreover, Liu Xian's own nephew is also a disciple of Zhang Han, which is a relatively special relationship, and it should form a foundation in the future.
After Liu Xian nodded, Sun Qian continued: "Since there is such a relationship, the character of my family is not unknown, he is good at making friends and not making enemies, and he is not aggressive in his life, so he naturally takes this opportunity to make friends with Jingzhou." ”
"Otherwise, to my prince, the value of these five hundred war horses will be a little lower, and of course he does not want to do so."
Liu Xian praised this in his heart, Zhang Junhou is indeed a person who likes to expand his interests, and he is also good at this, and the five hundred war horses are very likely to be used to make friends with the lord of Jingzhou.
"Okay, I'll go back and report to my lord what Gongyou said today."
"Good."
Sun Qian breathed a sigh of relief and bowed down, but this time he didn't give Liu Xian any gifts and treasures, for fear that he would be investigated after he went back.
Sure enough, after Liu Xian returned to Xiangyang, Liu Biao immediately sent someone to secretly ask the people who were traveling with him, knowing that after meeting at that time, Liu Xian did not accept any gifts, which was honest and fair.
After that, Liu Biao thought about it for less than half a day, and discussed with Wenwu and came to the result, and sent Liu Qian to visit Zhang Han and prepare to pay him a heavy gift, which can be regarded as a courtesy.
Among the Cai family, Cai Mao's status is the highest, his sister is Liu Cheng's newly married wife, and he and his brother Cai Zhong were the ones who criticized Han Song and Liu Xian in front of Liu Mian.
And this time, he helped Zhang Han speak for the first time, and when Liu was undecided, it was Cai Mao who came to see him overnight, saying that Zhang Han had a credit to the Han, and he was a general and capable minister trusted by the Son of Heaven, and he could not be rude to him.
In any case, the previous things were just tricks against each other, so now that Zhang Han is courteous to Jingzhou, Jingzhou should also return the courtesy.
Liu Biao deeply agreed, and immediately ordered Liu to go and meet Zhang Han before.
After Liu went first, he returned the next day, during which it took seven days, and immediately after he returned, he got Liu Biao's late-night talk.
Later, it became clear that Zhang Hannai was indeed here to seek peace, which made Liu Biao happy.
"Zhang Bochang, hahaha!!"
"But so, in the past, his exploits were not his bravery, wisdom and talent, I am afraid that Cao Cao gave him a heavy responsibility in order to promote, although he was capable, he also had nothing to do with my Jingzhou."
During this period, some people made a lot of nonsense in the hall, not taking Zhang Han in their eyes at all, of course, this was also said to Liu Biao, in order to support him, Liu Biao, as the lord of a state, of course couldn't say such things.
That night, in order to commend Liu Xian's merits, Liu Biao set up a banquet at home, invited civil and military to come, and discussed Zhang Hanzhi's invitation during the hospitality.
He just wanted to be safe, and sent various gifts to the civil and military forces in Jingzhou, and the desire for peace was overflowing.
After late at night, Liu Biao left Liu Xian, Han Song, Cai Mao, Cai He, Kuai Yue and others to talk about it.
"After the banquet, you should be a little calm, don't think that Zhang Hannai is an incompetent person, he must have talents in his own body, and he is by no means a mediocre person," Liu Biao glanced at everyone's face with extremely solemn expressions, at least much more solemn than when he was at the banquet.
He can become a male lord, naturally has his own advantages, although Jingzhou is not a heart, but the scholars from all over the country hold it behind and follow it.
In fact, if there is really any big event, everyone will discuss it together, and Liu Biao's words alone will definitely not be counted.
At this moment, Kuai Yue immediately showed a smile, the beards on both sides of his round face hung down, and he smiled lightly: "At least worry-free, although Zhang Han is good at training soldiers, fighting bravely, or having a strategy, but in fact, he has too few soldiers and horses this time." ”
"These soldiers and horses are not enough to occupy a city in my Jingzhou, and don't forget, the lord is all cavalry, not an army of foot soldiers, so it is not too dangerous."
"I think that it is necessary to guard against Cao Jun's other places, such as Guangling and Lujiang, where Cao Jun's Chen soldiers are placed, and I think that Zhang Han came to sue for peace this time, I'm afraid it's just a pretense."
Kuai Yue's words attracted the attention of the others, and everyone looked at them, thoughtfully, and felt that what he said seemed to be quite insightful.
Liu Biao made a gesture of "please" and said softly: "Kuai Jun, please continue, what do you guess?" ”
Kuai Yue smiled and said: "Cao Cao uses soldiers, he is well versed in the way of reality and reality, and his soldiers have always been very difficult to guess, so the more clear we are, the more we must be guarded, and Cao Cao's real purpose is likely to be elsewhere." ”
"It's the places you don't expect."
"Nice!!" Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and these words directly illuminated everyone's thoughts.
