Fan Li's first plan was to play tricks on the people's hearts and minds, so that the Jin army would completely lose the hearts of the people in the Central Plains.
Of course, Huo Qubing was already notorious in the Central Plains. How could he be so famous? Fan Li's so-called loss of popular support was to eliminate the possibility of any party helping Huo Qubing overtly or covertly, and even forced these people to join in the general trend of dealing with Huo Qubing!
The batch of grain and grass promised by the northern princes was not shipped at once, but in batches.
When the first batch of grain and grass was still on the way, Wei Zheng announced with great fanfare that all of this batch of grain and grass would be used to relieve the victims.
Even for the safety of this batch of grain and grass, Wei Zheng and the others sent General Sima Yunlei to personally escort them. Apart from Chi You, Zhang Dingbian, who had the highest status, had been paying close attention to this matter.
Within three days of the grain and grass being shipped, 20,000 victims had received relief! However, on the fourth day, the Jin cavalry attacked the place where the relief grain was stored. General Sima Yunlei fought bravely to preserve this batch of grain.
Unfortunately, the Jin army's cavalry was outnumbered, and Sima Yunlei finally "fleeed wounded", and all the food and grass were turned into ashes.
For a time, the people in Yanzhou were furious, and the victims hated the Jin army to their core. And at this time, the number two man Zhang Dingbian personally swore to go out and announced that he would once again use the cavalry to cooperate with Zhao She to deal with Huo Qubing.
When Huo Qubing first broke into the country, Zhang Dingbian had already fought with Huo Qubing. However, Zhang Dingbian, who had all the infantry under his command, had poor mobility. Facing Huo Qubing, who had all the cavalry under his command, it was impossible to defend against him. After losing several games in a row, Zhang Dingbian realized that he had no hope of victory, so he could only retreat and defend. Each city, and waiting for the arrival of Zhao She's cavalry.
Zhang Dingbian announced his second expedition to deal with Huo Qubing. Amid the outrage, many volunteers from Yanzhou signed up to join the army, making Zhang Dingbian's second so-called expedition even more powerful.
At this time, Qian Liu and Ma Yin even had no choice but to continue to perform their duties as Chi You's ministers and responded vigorously to Zhang Dingbian's troop dispatch.
Due to the existence of Huo Qubing, Yanzhou created a large number of homeless and desperate refugees. That batch of food and grass was hope for these refugees, but these hopes were eventually burned by the Jin army. From despair to hope and then to despair again, all it takes is a wave of rhythm at this time, and all the spearheads will be completely pointed at Huo Qubing This Jin army.
Qian Liu and Ma Yin relied heavily on these refugees to make their fortunes, and under the current circumstances, they must sit on their butts and choose a good position. Otherwise, the foundation of their rule may be close to collapse.
This was Fan Li's first step, making everyone in Yanzhou point their fingers at Huo Qubing, including Qian Liu and Ma Yin, two increasingly unstable factors. Qian Liu and Ma Yin had only two choices, either to join in the fight against Huo Qubing, or to collapse the foundation of their rule and prepare to die without a burial.
Facts have proved that although Fan Li was unable to return to Yanzhou in time, it was only the outline of such a plan. After Chi You's generals and counselors had this outline, all subsequent developments were carried out very well.
As for the so-called Jin troops who burned grain, they were of course Chi You's own people pretending to be them. Although Zhao She couldn't catch Huo Qubing, he still pursued Huo Qubing like a follower!
Under such circumstances, although Huo Qubing had the ability to secretly divide a group of troops, if he divided too much, Zhao She and others would easily notice the flaw. If he divided too little, he would be suspected of being beaten by meat buns. Zhang Dingbian and Sima Yunlei are not easy people to deal with. If there are fewer people going, not only whether they can complete the task, but also whether they can protect themselves may be a problem!
And those burned grains and grasses are naturally not real grains and grasses! It's just a ploy, it's impossible to really burn so much. For them, the most important food and grass now, they just need to deceive other people, and just find some hay branches to replace it!
After this first step, the next step is naturally the second step! And the second step of the strategy still closely revolves around the word "food and grass"!
Soon, news came out that in order to solve the problem in Yanzhou as soon as possible, under Chi You's strong request, the grain and grass that were originally planned to be shipped in five batches will be concentrated in the remaining four batches. A shipment arrives.
Although there are many disaster victims in Yanzhou, under Fan Li's plan, those who were organized into soldiers and horses and sent to the front line, and those who were secretly made into grain and grass, plus the grain and grass that are now shipped, this problem can almost be solved, not to mention completely. Solved, but it is enough to solve the temporary crisis.
The matter of dried meat has always been unstoppable, but Fan Li suppressed the matter with a little trick. Moreover, during that time, the whole world was engaged in a war of public opinion. Every prince was thinking about Fa'er's opponent. No one could tell whether the various news was true or false.
As for Chi You, even if the victims were to be rescued, there was no need to feed them. In fact, everyone only needed some extremely thin rice porridge to survive.
Therefore, even though the grain and grass provided by the northern princes were not worth their efforts, for Chi You, using various means, he could barely solve the problem.
And this means that most of what Huo Qubing did before was almost in vain!
Fan Li had never met Huo Qubing, and his understanding of Huo Qubing was not profound. Everything was only on paper. But even from these things on paper, Fan Li could see that this man was a born famous general. , use your troops to be imaginative and unconstrained, and will attack from unexpected places every time.
But behind the unrestrained imagination, Fan Li saw that this general was young and energetic, and that he often resorted to dangerous tactics.
Fan Li believed that young generals like Huo Qubing would not ignore it when most of their previous achievements might be in vain. Even if he guessed that there might be risks along the way, he might still take risks.
Therefore, Fan Li was actually certain that this batch of grain and grass could lure Huo Qubing over! But the real question is, even if Huo Qubing can be lured here, how to eliminate Huo Qubing's men?
Huo Qubing was imaginative in his use of troops and would always attack from unexpected places. Fan Li could not do anything without him at the scene.
Therefore, Fan Li's plan can only go so far, and the remaining matters can only be left to Zhao She, Chen Zhen, and Yan Keqiu for final perfection!
