Chapter 130: Robbing Xuzhou?

Lu Yi looked at the noise of everyone and frowned.

One thing came to his mind.

That is, he needs one, if not many, professional strategists.

Liu Ye has good insight and unique vision, especially in terms of knowing people, which is the strongest among the people he has seen.

Before asking Liu Ye to manage the Qilin Pavilion in Wu County, probing Jiangdong talents, and searching for intelligence, he did a good job.

Even, there are good insights to involve him in the development of strategy.

However, when encountering such a scene, he can't immediately make suggestions.

As for Xu Shu, following Tai Shici for so long, it seems that it is not bad to command the battle.

However, on such large occasions, he also rarely spoke.

Lu Yi finally looked at Yan Xiang.

Or was it really at Yuan Shu's place, he was afraid of Lu Bukeng, and he also lowered his head at this time, not daring to say anything.

Lu Yi sighed secretly.

It would be great if Zhou Yu could help.

Being able to take Hefei so easily this time is Zhou Yu's strategy.

It's a pity that people's minds are not on themselves at all.

He can't return Jiangdong to Sun Quan.

This is absolutely impossible.

Once it is returned, with Sun Quan's attitude towards the major families in the original history, I am afraid that he will become Lu Xun's second.

Lu Yi's gaze swept over the ministers, and his gaze casually glanced at Zhuge Jin.

He thought of someoneβ€”

His brother-in-law Zhuge Liang!

It is now the winter of the second year of Jian'an, and this brother-in-law is only sixteen years old.

Too small.

Not to mention that it is as civil and military as history, and the enemy is like a god.

If he rashly disrupts the trajectory of his life now, he may not even be able to become as powerful as in the original history.

Seeing that everyone was still noisy, Lu Yi asked everyone to continue to discuss on the grounds that he wanted to rest, while he returned to the bedroom that Tai Shi Ci had already arranged.

Lying on the bed in the bedroom, Lu Yi carefully searched the original history in his memory.

There are some discrepancies between the original history and the present world.

In the original history, Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu first, and besieged Shouchun after capturing and beheading Yuan Shu's generals Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le Bi in Qiyang, because Shouchun City was high and thick, and Cao Cao ran out of food after a long time of attack.

As a result, it also triggered a famous stalk in later generations: Your wife, I will take care of you, you can go!

Cao Cao deliberately slandered the grain overseer for embezzlement, seized the grain and grass, and thus killed the grain overseer, temporarily diverting the source of the soldiers' anger.

After that, Cao Cao knew that this situation could not be allowed to continue to delay, so he led the whole army to fight against the water, and even charged in person, and finally broke Shouchun City.

At this time, Yuan Shu had already fled from Shouchun.

After taking Shouchun, Cao Cao got a large amount of grain and grass from Shouchun City before retiring and returning to Xudu.

After Cao Cao retired from the army, he mainly did two things.

One thing is to send someone to destroy Li Dao in the name of the Son of Heaven, so that Li Dao will officially withdraw from the stage of history.

Another thing, under Liu Bei's strong advice, Cao Cao led his army to attack Xuzhou LΓΌ Bu.

After destroying Lu Bu, Cao Cao sent Liu Bei again to completely destroy Yuan Shu, who was still breathing.

And in the current world, Cao Cao actually withdrew his troops after taking Qiyang, and actually gave up the siege of Shouchun.

Why?

Could it be that he just let Yuan Shu act like this, regardless of Yuan Shu's provocation of the Son of Heaven's coercion?

Cao Cao is the one who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes!

The Son of Heaven is the biggest card in his hand, how could he do this?

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Nangong Yan's voice came from outside: "Yan Gong is looking for you." ”

Lu Yi is having a headache.

Seeing Yan Xiang coming over, he hurriedly said, "Just push the door and come in." ”

He himself got up from the bed, knelt down in front of the desk, and poured two cups of tea.

Yan Xiang walked in, glanced at Lu Yi, and stopped beside him.

Lu Yi made a "please" gesture, asked him to sit down, and pushed the tea over.

Yan Xiang rolled up his sleeves and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I came here to think of a possibility, a strategy, that might be useful. However, the lord doesn't have to listen carefully, it's just a suggestion. ”

Lu Yi: "."

Yan Xiang cleared his throat and said, "Cao Cao suddenly gave up besieging Yuan Shu, then, there must be something that makes him more urgent, and the importance of this urgent matter is more important than the siege of Yuan Shu." ”

"It's not that I'm ungrateful."

"The actual situation is that Yuan Shu was besieged by Cao Cao on both sides in the northwest, and now there is only the area from Shouchun to Chen State."

"To the east are LΓΌ Bu's Xuzhou and Jiangdong's Guangling."

"Hefei in the south is also occupied by the lord."

"It can be said that Yuan Shu is already a turtle in an urn, and he is not far from death."

"Whether it is the lord or Cao Cao, it is only a matter of time before they want to go all out to win Shouchun, or even kill Yuan Shu."

"Cao Cao can definitely see this."

"If his intelligence detects that the lord occupies Hefei, if I am Cao Cao, then it will be very difficult for me to face Yuan Shu."

"Who can say that the Lord Guild will not attack Shouchun at this time?"

"What if Cao Cao attacks Shouchun from the west and north, and you attack Shouchun from the south and east, and Yuan Shu surrenders to you?"

"At that time, the lord you occupy Shouchun, and it is impossible for you to return Shouchun."

"Because, my lord, you took Shouchun, and you originally occupied Guangling."

"As long as heavy troops are deployed in Shouchun and Guangling, Cao Cao can no longer hope to attack Jiangdong in the south."

"In that case, why not give Yuan Shu a last hope."

"In this case, once the lord attacks Shouchun, Yuan Shu will definitely resist the lord with all his might. Moreover, if Yuan Shu is really forced to be anxious, maybe he will abolish the national title and choose to take refuge in Yuan Shao or even Cao Cao. ”

"At that time, Shouchun will be occupied by Cao Cao, and the lord will be busy with his work."

"Cao Cao occupies Shouchun, so he has the possibility of going south to attack Jiangdong in the future."

"At the same time, Xuzhou is the land of four wars."

"Master Xuzhou, go down to Guangling in the south, and then cross the river and go straight to Wu County."

"The north can attack Qingzhou, Youzhou and the area."

"Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, his ambition is not small, and Xuzhou must be the meat in his eyes."

"Yuan Shu can't be taken here for the time being, so it's better to go all out to take Xuzhou."

"As long as you take Xuzhou, and then come back to capture Yuan Shu, there is no hurry."

Lu Yi heard Yan Xiang say this, and sighed.

I walked into a dead end before!

The existence of Yuan Shu is indeed detrimental to the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

But in this situation, Yuan Shu is the fish on the chopping board, why be in such a hurry?

On the contrary, Cao Cao absolutely did not want to see himself take Yuan Shu and Xuzhou!

Yan Xiang glanced at Lu Yi with some weakness and said, "This is just some of my crude suggestions, just listen to it, don't take it seriously." ”

After saying that, he bowed and was about to leave.

Lu Yi came back to his senses and said busily: "Gong Yan, you have to be confident!" ”

Yan Xiang looked at Lu Yi suspiciously.

Lu Yi said with a smile: "Yuan Shu listened to your opinion before, and it was not just your fault that he lost to Lu Bu. And, as the saying goes, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! ”

"If you are bitten by a snake for ten years and are afraid of the well rope, how can you be a man's husband?"

"Moreover, I am not Yuan Shu, I will think for myself and discern what should be listened to and what should not be heard."

"I'm the one who really makes the idea."

"In the end, the biggest responsibility for success or failure is also me."

"As a sacrificial wine, as a counselor, all you have to do is be confident, and then tell me all your thoughts."

"Gong Yan, you will understand in the future that I am not Yuan Shu."

"I'm not going to take everything that people say, but I want to be able to hear what you have to say and say it without reservation."

"If you're wrong, I'm not going to cure you for any of your crimes."

"On the contrary, if you are wrong a few times, you are afraid of taking responsibility for your crimes, and you have been silent since then, so how can I, the lord, make the right decision? You don't think that my head alone can beat the head of everyone else combined, do you? ”

"I'm also an ordinary person."

"If the decisions that my head comes up with can outweigh the decisions that everyone else has come up with combined, then I am a god. If so, what use do I want from you? ”

Yan Xiang looked at Lu Yi in a daze.

His heart trembled slightly.

After hesitating for a while, Yan Xiang suddenly turned around and sat back again, his hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "I thought that since Cao Cao temporarily withdrew his troops and intended for Xuzhou, then we would do what we planned." ”

"We will snatch Xuzhou with them!"

"Moreover, we not only want to snatch Xuzhou, but also increase the pressure on Cao Cao!"

"Although you betrayed Yuan Shu, the lord still has a marriage vow with Yuan Shu."

"Send an envoy to marry Yuan Shu's daughter with a lot of money, and at the same time, tell Yuan Shu that after you occupy Hefei, you will not march again, so that he can be completely reassured."

"Between Shouchun and Hefei, set up a post station to strengthen the connection between the two sides, so that Yuan Shu thought that he always grasped the movements of the lord Hefei."

"Yuan Shurat's eyes are narrow, as long as the lord Hefei does not move, he must think that the lord is reliable here."

"However, he is also a restless man, and after there is no danger from you, my lord, he will continue to try to attack north."

"Even if Cao Cao is robbing Xuzhou with the lord at that time, he will have some scruples."

"He attacked Xuzhou with all his might, so we instigated Yuan Shu, and even secretly sent troops to help, so that he could attack the north in a big way, and even move westward."

"Once Yuan Shu really opens up the north, he will coerce Xu Du, and Cao Cao will not be afraid."

"But once Cao Cao withdraws his troops to conquer Xuzhou, then he can't take care of Xuzhou."

"The only thing Cao Cao could do to threaten us is for him to abandon Yuan Shu and Xuzhou at the same time. When that happens, we'll have to find another way. If we take the initiative to attack these two places, Cao Cao may also use this tactic against us. ”

"However, if it really drags on like this, it will be more beneficial to the lord."

"The existence of Yuan Shu is still a provocation to the Son of Heaven."

"The longer it drags on, the more impatient Cao Cao becomes."

"And, to be honest, Lu Bu is two-faced, once he is advantageous, he will definitely conquer all around."

"In these four weeks, in addition to Cao Cao's territory, that is, Yuan Shu's territory, and our Jiangdong."

"If Lu Bu dares to fight Yuan Shu's territory, we will secretly help each other, and Lu Bu will have to retreat."

"When the time comes, he can only attack Cao Cao."

"As for our side, we have heavy troops guarding Guangling and Hefei, and we are not afraid of the soldiers and horses in Lu Bu District."

"If this continues, Cao Cao can't tolerate Lu Bu."

"In the end, we're on the right side."

"The question is, it's a question of how long it's going to drag on."

"But if this is the case, we have Yuan Shu and Lu Bu in the front, and Jiangdong can recuperate and grow rapidly."

"When the strength is strong enough, we will take down Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, and even fight Cao Cao face-to-face, we will have a greater chance of winning, so we don't have to toss like this."

"As for the notoriety brought about by the marriage with Yuan Shu, today, strength is respected."

"We Jiangdong did not claim the title of emperor, and even still paid tribute to the Son of Heaven every year, who is qualified to blame?"

"Let's ask Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and Yuan Shao in Hebei, which of them is like us? They didn't even pay tribute! ”

Lu Yi nodded.

Yan Xiang's analysis is indeed reasonable.

If Cao Cao also dared to temporarily give up attacking Yuan Shu and Xuzhou Lu Bu, then he would slowly consume it with him, and let Jiangdong recuperate first.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi stood up, took Yan Xiang's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the hall and talk to everyone about your plan." If there is no problem, tonight, we will send an envoy to contact Yuan Shu, and at the same time, send an envoy to Guangling Lusu, so that he can prepare troops and horses and join us to attack Xuzhou! ”
