After calming down, Liang Sicheng began to explain in detail to Zhaka the cleverness of what Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng did. At the end, Zhaka was stunned for a while, and when he thought about it, it seemed that it was really what Liang Sicheng said. He glanced at Liang Sicheng with an awe-inspiring look, and finally said, you guys who are so naughty are really scary.
What Liang Sicheng said is actually not complicated.
Regarding this time, Wang Jianguo and his 60,000-strong army marched long distances to Xuzhou. If they had stayed in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jizhou, then from their perspective, regardless of Zaka's factors, once Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei turned around and attacked them , then the death of the 40,000 people before them was in vain, and the things they had done before were in vain, then the two of them only had the choice of returning to Luoyang to defend Luoyang or heading east to Qingzhou.
Lin Zhuang did not have any extra soldiers at hand, so these three states were actually in a rather embarrassing situation. Both Luoyang and Youzhou had the strength to bully them.
In addition, they had just been swept away by Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng. If Liu Bei defected again immediately after arriving, it would leave people with a capricious excuse. Before the two men made this long-distance attack, at least in name, Yanzhou and Yuzhou It has clearly turned to Luoyang's side, and Jizhou has also been riddled with holes by the two.
When going to Qingzhou, Wang Jianguo once told Qin Feng that attacking Qingzhou at that time was definitely not worth the loss. Maybe the two of them could capture Qingzhou through their own strength, but the situation they faced was the same as that of Jizhou - Can't hold on.
Xuzhou is completely different.
Xuzhou is far away from Youzhou and even further away from Luoyang. This is because Qi Zhen and Wang Jianguo previously preserved Xuzhou's independent status from Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. Except for Yuan Shao in Xiaopei who had just escaped from Qingzhou to seek asylum, Both Zhao Yumifang and the coach Zang Ba in Xuzhou City are still under the jurisdiction of Luoyang. Even if they have rebellious intentions, the time for rebellion is not ripe now. To put it bluntly, the two sides have not yet broken up. Taking Yuan Shao in can be regarded as a sign of Luoyang's will. of temptation.
When Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng left, on the one hand, they cut off Xuzhou's outstretched hand, and on the other hand, they completely tied Xuzhou to Luoyang's chariot.
The reason for this is that Zhao Yu was able to put all the blame for Yuan Shao's murder on Xuzhou because he didn't know how Wang Jianguo operated.
This in itself is a solid enough letter of submission.
The most important thing is that Xuzhou's attitude actually gave Yan and Yu a great reassurance, and also shocked Jingzhou to the southwest of Xuzhou.
If Cai Mao doesn't want Luoyang City to attack Jingzhou from both sides after freeing up its hands, then he and Chen Wen must now show some attitude.
By the way, Chen Wen.
Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, not only held the Yangzhou army, but also a large number of Yizhou soldiers and horses that drove from Yizhou.
What Liang Sicheng and Wang Jianguo didn't know was that Lin Biao had never stopped sending secret messages to Chen Wen. However, although Chen Wen's current position was clearly on the side of Luoyang, his actions were somewhat overt and overt. To put it bluntly, it was the governor of Yangzhou. Quite a bit like waiting for a price.
Different from Cai Mao, Cai Mao never said that he and Luoyang were of the same mind, and it was obvious that he was a self-contained sect of soldiers and self-respect. Chen Wen, on the other hand, was honest both verbally and physically, but when it came to actually doing things, he would always fall behind. It feels a bit draggy.
Procrastination itself represents attitude.
So for such a huge territory in Yizhou, judging from the current situation, the position can no longer be hidden.
In today's world situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yizhou originally stood with Luoyang. No matter how low-key it is, it cannot change this fact.
The space left for Cai Hao and Chen Wen to choose is actually getting smaller and smaller. The further time goes by, the smaller the value of their sides will be. Once the general trend between Luoyang and Youzhou is determined, it can take as little as one year. , as long as two or three years, the victorious party will inevitably send troops to Jingzhou.
By that time, Cai Mao will have completely lost the capital waiting to be sold.
In the current world, the eight states of Yongliang and Yanyu, Xuyi are all in the hands of the small team, and Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou are in the hands of Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei.
Jingzhou belongs to Cai Mao, and Yangzhou Chen Wen is swaying, but it will not affect the general situation, unless he sees the situation clearly and betrays Cai Mao before the team captures Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, stabbing Cai Mao in the back to share Cai Mao's possible robbery, otherwise he will Of no substantial value.
"So what the two of us have to do now is to light another fire in the world." Liang Sicheng said the final words at the end.
"Just the two of us? How to do it?" Zhaka was a little stunned.
Liang Sicheng said to himself that your strength is stronger than all the soldiers in the world put together, so don't belittle yourself, but he didn't say anything and just patted him on the shoulder.
"I still don't quite understand, what can the two of us do in Youzhou really affect the general trend of the world?" Zaka asked.
Liang Sicheng nodded: "If we can delay Liu Bei's move south, the longer it takes, the more guilty Jizhou Qingzhou and Cai Mao in the south will become, and the states and counties belonging to our side will feel more at ease. This is a very simple matter. Think about it, the longer the time goes by, the more stable the situation in the states we just occupied will be. The more stable we are, the greater our chances of winning?"
Xhaka suddenly realized.
"If we are strong enough, I even hope that we can directly take over the upper echelons of Youzhou, so that we can avoid future troubles forever." Liang Sicheng continued.
Zhaka had an expression like "Don't point at me." A fight with Zhao Yun almost cost him his life. Who knows what other advanced people are hiding in Youzhou City? He wouldn't be able to bear it again.
After the virus self-repaired, Xhaka has recovered as before. He absorbed many viruses along the way. After becoming a miracle doctor who cured diseases and saved lives, his current condition is even better than before.
The two of them are now approaching Youzhou City, and Mo Yue will arrive in two days.
It's also their fault that the two of them had no information on their own, otherwise they would have gotten the information from Xuzhou long ago.
It seems that the days of traveling all the way are over. From now on, the two of them are afraid that they will have to hurry up and complete the task as soon as possible.
The two days' journey passed in a blink of an eye, and when the two entered Youzhou City, they received another piece of news that could not be said to be good or bad.
The army belonging to Luoyang obtained two powerful weapons from unknown sources. The name of this weapon is cannon, and the other is called musket. Once activated, the power is much stronger than that of bows and arrows.
It is precisely by relying on these two powerful weapons that Luoyang's army can be invincible and occupy the eight states in the world.
It was rumored that they had noses and eyes, and later it was said that these two weapons came from Yizhou, but it was unknown who made them and how they were assembled on such a large scale.
After suddenly hearing the news, Liang Sicheng's first reaction was that the system had taken action again, and then he judged that this matter was quite difficult.
Xhaka was a little confused. His mind was not spinning very fast, but the only advantage was that he would never analyze blindly, so he asked Liang Sicheng blankly.
Liang Sicheng explained to him again.
Although the existence of guns and artillery is not a secret until now, the most critical point is that no one has ever compared the troops and horses that first invaded Luoyang when the 18th Route princes gathered together with Yizhou. This place ties together too.
When Ma Teng died in battle outside Luoyang City, it was also the first time that two weapons, guns and artillery, appeared in front of the world.
The power of guns and artillery was brilliant in the Battle of Bingzhou, but the role of rifles in the war between Yuzhou and Yanzhou seemed not so important.
Then this rumor can only be a historical correction imposed by the system on this game.
But there has to be a purpose.
Lin Zhuang had almost no defense against Yizhou from the beginning, and never let Yizhou declare its position. In order to strip away the connection between Yizhou and Luoyang, people would not care about the only "pure land" in the world. ".
The relationship between Yizhou and Luoyang has become a tacit secret among the princes of the world. With the current rumors that the two weapons came from Yizhou, I'm afraid...
"We assume that it will take about ten days for the news to reach us, so now..." Liang Sicheng bit his nails and said word by word.
Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said loudly: "It's broken!"
"You're scaring me again!" Zhaka was startled and his eyes widened.
"We can't care anymore, we have to hurry!" Liang Sicheng said.
"What are you doing quickly?" Zhaka looked confused.
"If we use poison, we have to let the whole world know that there is a plague in Youzhou. We must do it quickly!" Liang Sicheng said.
"ah?!"
If these two pieces of information could have been discovered by Liang Sicheng and his two men ten days earlier, I am afraid that the situation in the world would have been different.
However, it was precisely because of this lag in message delivery that the team missed the best opportunity.
At the same time that Liang Sicheng and Zhaka set out to release the virus in Youzhou City, the front line in Jingzhou was already heavily armed. Cai Hao personally led the army from south to north, approaching Luoyang.
At the junction of the three states of Sizhou, Jingzhou and Yizhou, there are 300,000 troops gathered here. It must be the entire force of Cai Mao's men!
After Liu Bei led so many soldiers and horses north to attack Jizhou, it was a miracle that he, Cai Mao, could still assemble such a huge force within this period of time!
When Lin Bian got the news, he just smiled softly, and then called Huo Zhi to his side.
"Look, how long has it been since I told you that you would fight this battle? Isn't it time to live?"
"Hey, my lord, you don't even know that I, Old Huo, have been holding it back for a while. Don't worry, I will come back with a good fight for you." Huo Zhi was full of confidence and full of fighting spirit.
