Since Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Shang, who has always been cheerful and angry, has been in a good mood these days, smiling and happy like an innocent child all day long.
He guessed that Xu You's alienation plan should be able to achieve good results. Not to mention causing the two parties to fight each other, it could at least make them feel at odds and stop their current expansion actions.
The facts were as he expected. After the alienating letter entered Yuan Tan's military camp, the operation to conquer the county stopped. At the same time, the camp that was originally built five miles behind Luying was stopped halfway through. Obviously there is no intention to continue moving camp.
This alone was enough to make Yuan Shanngle blossom. Who would have thought that the effect of alienation would continue to ferment. Just now, the scouts reported that Yuan Tan's military camp had moved fifteen miles back.
Yuan Shang almost laughed to death. You must know that Lu Ying was fifteen miles away from Yuan Tanzhong's military stronghold. If he moved the camp, he would be separated by thirty miles. Lu Bu's army would be trapped in an isolated and helpless dilemma.
Of course, Shen Pei would not miss this God-given opportunity, and immediately suggested that Yuan Shang send troops to attack Lu Bu. This was a God-given opportunity to take advantage of his military strength. He prepared his troops and horses, and used 80,000 troops to attack Lu Ying. The remaining people were on guard against Yuan Tan's sneak attack on the capital. no problem.
"otherwise!"
Yuan Shang showed a witty smile and said, "Sir, don't you hear the plan of the superior army to attack, the second is to attack the enemy, and the second is to attack the army. Now I only need to watch the fire from the other side, and I can sit back and watch the two of them turn against each other. In time, Yuan, Tan, and Lu Bu may attack each other. uncertain."
Shen Pei sighed and could only retreat and ask: "Then we should send a force to take back Wucheng and Gucheng counties, right?"
"otherwise!"
Yuan Shang still waved his hand, shook his head and said: "It is better to be quiet at this time than to move. Time is good for me and not good for thieves. Spend it. What I can afford to spend depends on whether they can afford it!"
I don't know since when, Shen Pei found that all his opinions were rejected. At this moment, he seemed to feel the pain of Tian Feng and Ju Shu. Yuan Shao also rejected them in the same way.
Xu You, who didn't speak from beginning to end, didn't think so. He knew that Yuan Shang and Yuan Shao were actually fundamentally different, even Yunni.
When Yuan Shao didn't move, he just felt in his heart that the time was not coming, and he would never be vague when it was time to take action.
As for Yuan Shang, he doesn't want to engage in close combat at all. It would be best if the other party can take the initiative to retreat.
This also strengthened his determination to sell Yuan Shang.
At this time, he was more curious about the situation in front of him, which seemed to be full of doubts.
Judging from the situation, it seems that Lin Mo failed to appease Yuan Tan and the people in the game were alienated, so he withdrew from Dazhai in order to put Lu Bu on the fire.
Of course, there is another possibility. Lin Mo has broken the situation, and all this is actually to survive.
Xu You couldn't tell at the moment, and he had no intention of thinking too much. Anyway, half of what Lin Mo asked him to do had been completed. As for the second half, Yuan Shang didn't speak, and he couldn't use his strength.
Just wait, and you won't suffer any loss.
He was just very interested to see if Lin Mo would lose it in the end if he played like this.
"There is really no movement. The 150,000 troops in his hands are no different than free rice." The scout reported that there was no movement in Yuan Shang's camp, and Lu Bu knew that this was a playboy.
"In fact, he didn't want to start a war from the beginning to the end. What's more, it seems that he is really quiet now. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is the best choice." In the Chinese army tent, Lin Mo was immersed in the sheepskin map and casually said He responded.
"I think Yuan Shao dared to draw his sword in front of me while shouting. His courage is one of the best in Luoyang City. How did he come up with such a thing?"
Lu Bu shook his head with emotion. Looking back, it was right. If he didn't have full confidence, Yunwen would not be able to let Yuan Tan retreat fifteen miles and expose his camp to Yuan Shang.
When it comes to knowing people and judging things, he has indeed never missed a beat.
After a while, Lu Bu seemed to have remembered something important. He put down the tea cup in his hand, walked up to Lin Mo and pressed his hand on the sheepskin map. He frowned and said, "Your final plan is to force the two brothers to defeat an army of more than 200,000 people." We are fighting bloody battles together, but this guy is so cowardly that he dare not mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, let alone hundreds of thousands?"
"So we have to wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
Lin Mo glanced at his old father-in-law, then moved his hand away in disgust and continued to look at the picture, "Wait for our reinforcements, wait until they force Yuan Shang into a desperate situation, then he will no longer dare."
Reinforcements? Lu Bu looked at the map in confusion, suddenly remembered, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I forgot that you have sent someone to deliver a message to Zuo Rong, haha, I didn't expect that the bandits who fled under the halberd in the past would help our son-in-law Weng." It’s become a big deal.”
"It's not him. The person I asked Zuo Rong to find is to block Yuan Shang's retreat. He is our reinforcement."
Lin Mo raised his head and smiled playfully, "I am Sikong Cao Cao."
When did Cao Cao become my reinforcements?
Could it be that you gave him some tips, or did you reach some agreement when I went to Wen County?
Seeing Lin Mo studying the map so seriously, he must be still calculating some details in his mind. He didn't want to interrupt him, but he just felt that this scene was very comfortable and reassuring.
Although he is in Qingji, looking at the overall situation, all the forces that can be used are included in his calculations.
After all, it's different from a rough guy like me. I'm fighting Yuan Shang, and he's fighting the entire Northern Kingdom.
Everyone was not on the same channel, so Lu Bu felt that it was pointless to continue chatting, so he might as well go to Zhao Yun to practice and warm up.
Recently, Zhao Yun's martial arts skills have improved to another level. His marksmanship is no longer as technical as before, but more focused on strength. He can now keep up with him within eighty rounds. Lu Bu is very pleased.
Given time, his achievements may not be able to catch up with his own.
Lu Bu didn't have a trace of fear in his heart. He saved Xiaoguan once and killed someone thousands of miles away. He absolutely believed in Zhao Yun's loyalty.
He is so young and should be nurtured well. When I grow old in the future, he will be Yunwen's right-hand man.
The Lu family's combination of civil and military affairs cannot be discontinued. After all, Yunwen said that he, Zhao Zilong, could be regarded as a member of the family.
Naturally, I need to train Zhao Yun more. If I can't teach you Lin Yunwen, I can't teach him Zhao Zilong?
With this belief, Lu Bu strode out of the Chinese army's tent carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd.
The three-party confrontation in the north has been going on for some time. The 40,000 people led by Xiahou Dun have just entered the territory of Anfeng. They are still more than 200 miles away from Anfeng City. The speed is not slow.
This is no wonder Xiahou Dun. Although Cao Cao became the biggest winner in the Central Plains War, having to support both wars at the same time, even with the support of aristocratic families, was a great test for food and grass supplies.
After Cao Cao led the army into Bingzhou, Xun Yu finally gathered the food and grass for Xiahou Dun's southern expedition, so he had to move slower.
According to the speed and distance of Cao's army's advance, it would take another seven days to reach Anfeng City. The God of Liao called all the civil servants and generals in the city to discuss the army together.
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Cao Xing, Song Xian and Cheng Lian, as well as the prefect Chen Deng and the old scheming Jia Xu all arrived.
"Let's talk about it, how to fight, whether to fight quickly or slow down, take the initiative or wait for changes, but it doesn't matter." Liao Shen put on a very democratic posture, but after saying this, he put his chin in one hand His eyes were wandering, as if he was out of his mind.
However, after opening the door, the meeting hall was still very lively.
As the governor of Anfeng, Chen Deng first expressed his opinion, that is, Cao's army is far away and the supply line is long, so he should stand firm and wait for changes to wait for opportunities to defeat the enemy;
The old scumbag Jia Xu became the governor of Donghai after Xiaoguan, and with Lin Mo's help, he was able to shine on Qishan. This time he did not choose to remain silent, and took the initiative to ask Yanhui, eight miles northeast of Anfeng. A stronghold was set up on the mountain, and a troop of soldiers and horses were stationed there.
The advantage of doing this is obvious. It can coordinate with Anfeng City to form a rivalry. The most important thing is to prevent Cao Jun from restraining the defenders in Anfeng City on the one hand and sending small groups of troops to plunder land on the other.
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, did not care at all about his status as a surrendered general, and proposed to take the initiative to attack Cao's army when they came from afar and were out of men and horses. They were willing to lead the troops to attack and beat the vanguard of Cao's army violently, and beheaded if they failed.
It is understandable that these two brothers are so excited, because the vanguard general of Cao's army is Zhang He, who has just surrendered, and the deputy general is Gao Lan. Good guys, pure enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
For Yuan Shao's defeat, Yan Liangwen and Chou brothers put all the blame on Zhang He and Gao Lan, and they had long been planning to deal with them.
Later, after Yuan Shao died, they became even more resentful and regarded Zhang He and Gao Lan as their sworn enemy.
Their meeting was actually destined. Lin Mo did not let Yan Liangwen Chou go north because they were from the Northern Kingdom and would not be able to kill the Northern Army. Lin Mo was not the only one who had this idea. Cao Cao also thought so. That’s what I thought.
Therefore, the collision between the four court pillars in Hebei is like the gears of fate, which will eventually mesh together.
On the contrary, Cao Xing and the three of them did not speak a word from beginning to end, as quiet as if they were the surrendered generals.
What's even more unusual is that Zhang Liao didn't ask any questions, just put on a showy attitude and liked to talk but not talk.
"I think Yuan Long's strategy is relatively safe. Avoid its sharp edges and wait for opportunities. Let's leave it at that." After everyone had finished expressing their opinions, Zhang Liao weakly made a conclusion, and then waved his hand, Today's military discussion is over.
But when everyone turned to leave, they gave Jia Xu a look.
The old bastard was a man, so of course he understood what it meant. He followed everyone out of the council hall and returned not long after.
"Sir, what you say makes sense, but I have no choice but to stay in the city and cannot divide the troops." Zhang Liao sighed deeply, with the word "worry" written on his face.
When he was in Pengcheng, Lin Mo told him that Jia Xu's talents were far above his own. Scholars had always looked down upon each other. Most of the time, these counselors and ministers did not deal with each other. For example, Liu Ye and Chen Deng, although on the surface, They are friendly, but in private they are very tight-lipped.
Therefore, when Lin Mo said this, Zhang Liao only thought that he had a good mind, but he didn't really think that Jia Xu had the ability to turn things around.
After coming to Anfeng, the two got along a lot more, and Liao Shen was an active and studious person. After several exchanges, he found that the old scumbag really had two skills, which often benefited him a lot. He is now I have a higher view of these four words: virtuality, reality, wonder and righteousness.
Naturally, Jia Xu won a lot of respect in his heart, and this respect came from the heart, so he felt that he had to tell Jia Xu why he rejected his opinion.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as the general decides."
Liao Shen's hand holding his chin loosened up and he almost knocked on the table. No, you should ask me why I didn't play my cards according to the routine.
"Aren't you curious about the reason?" Zhang Liao asked unwillingly.
"The general will naturally tell you what you should tell me, and you will make mistakes if you talk too much about what you should not tell me." Jia Xu always had this posture of hiding a needle in the cotton, which made Zhang Liao speechless.
Okay, too lazy to say anything, Zhang Liao happily took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and placed it on the table, motioning for Jia Xu to come forward and take a look.
After hesitating for a moment, Jia Xu stepped forward and picked up the silk cloth. The next breath, Gu Jing's unwavering expression faded, replaced by a feeling of uneasiness and lingering fear. He quickly put the silk cloth back into Zhang Liao's hand and asked in a low voice: "Is this credible?"
"It's absolutely true, but I can't tell you where this news came from." Zhang Liao nodded slowly, with a heavy expression.
Jia Xu's eyes showed sudden realization, "I understand, the general wants to gather and annihilate Cao's army in Anfeng City."
Zhang Liao didn't answer, his eyes already gave a definite answer.
"Thank you, General, for your trust."
In fact, the relationship between Jia Xu and Zhang Liao is relatively unfamiliar. He is not from the military like Zhang Liao. He is honest and frank in his interactions with others. For a person who is too defensive, it is destined that it is difficult for anyone to get into his heart.
"You are Welcome."
Zhang Liao waved his hand, "Yunwen said, let me listen to you in everything. This time we have different opinions, I think it's better to get to know each other."
Hearing Lin Mo's name, Jia Xu's heart skipped a beat.
At first, he thought that the prefect given by Lin Mo was interested in beating and tying him to the chariot. After spending time together, he found that Lin Mo actually loved him sincerely, and Jia Xu was willing to recognize him as his old friend.
Seeing Zhang Liao treat me so sincerely this time, I felt a little hesitant for a while.
He originally planned to turn around and resign, but finally turned back and said, "General, we still have to station ourselves at Yanhui Ridge."
"Why?" Zhang Liao was a little confused.
"Don't you, general, like to delve into the truth, truth, wonder, and truth taught by Yunwen? I dare not give you any advice today, but I have something to say to the general, which may be helpful."
"What's the matter?"
"Know yourself and know the enemy."
This seems to be not as powerful as Xu Xi Qi Zheng. Zhang Liao scratched his head and shook his head in confusion.
"General, in addition to understanding Cao's army's distribution of generals, the quality of troops and horses, and even the logistics of food and grass, you also need to have a deep understanding of your own side." Jia Xu's words made Zhang Liao increasingly confused.
After being in a daze for a long time, he raised the silk cloth in his hand and said, "Isn't this considered a close friend?"
Jia Xu shook his head simply, "Actually, this is just an unexpected thing. There is a deadly gate in Anfeng City right now. If I come to attack the city, I can break it with my fingers within three months."
"Sir, are you exaggerating?" Everyone in Zhang Liao was confused. After Anfeng City was rebuilt, it was not said to be impregnable. Cao Jun would not have dreamed of attacking even 100,000 people. There was no way it would have such an exaggerated weakness.
To be honest, Zhang Liao didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to see it after staying here for several months.
Jia Xu did not argue with him, but made a gesture of invitation, took Zhang Liao to the sand table, put his index and middle fingers together, drew a line next to the city sign, and briefly explained, Zhang Liao's face froze. , couldn't react for a long time, staring blankly at the line drawn by Jia Xu.
I don't know how long it took before he breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed deeply to Jia Xu, "Sir is really a god. I have benefited a lot from this teaching and immediately arranged for people to go to Yanhuiling to garrison the village. "
At this moment, Zhang Liao finally realized that Lin Mo might not be bragging. This old scumbag either didn't make a move, but whenever he did, he made amazing moves.
If I hadn't called him back, I might never have seen this level.
Of course, he also understood that Jia Xu didn't have to say it out loud, but that he had some estrangement from him.
No wonder Yunwen asked me to ask him more questions when I had nothing to do. He was such a boring person.
This fatal cover was not discovered by himself, and it is hard to say whether Cao Jun could have discovered it, but Jia Xu pointed it out for sure. This is an indisputable fact, and Zhang Liao was naturally afraid for a while.
Here in Anfeng, if one county is locked up in Jiujiang and Lujiang, one area is lost, and three areas are gone, there can never be any problems.
It seems that the false, true, and correct are not strong enough, and must be paired with knowing oneself and knowing the enemy.
Zhang Liao deeply realized that another piece of useful knowledge had been added.
