Chapter 718: Established Strategy
In recent days, the battle for Jizhou has reached a stalemate.
Cao Cao still stationed troops in Liyang to confront Yuan Shao, but in order to control the speed of the pottery merchants' advance, he sent Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and other Cao generals to lead elite soldiers and strong generals to the east of Jizhou to contain the pottery merchants.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao was strictly defended, he first let the lead to counterattack Pingyuan County, and let Wen Chou lead a group of Jizhou generals to defend the eastern front of Jizhou, and he personally dealt with Cao Cao, turning the situation in Jizhou into safety.
Originally, it was Cao Tao who attacked Jizhou, but now it has become a balance between the three families, which to a certain extent, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly Yuan Shao. The potters will also contain them.
During this period of time, the potters had contacts with Yuan Jun and Cao Jun on the eastern front of Jizhou, but there was no progress in terms of troops.
If the potters attacked Wenchou, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren would take advantage of the gap to attack him, but on the other hand, if Cao Ren and Xiahoudun also turned their troops to Jizhou, the potters would also send troops to contain them.
And halfway through, the pottery merchant also thought about letting Huang Zhong and Liu Pi, who were stationed in Pingyuan County, send troops to attack Jizhou on the side and open a gap, but Yuan Shao and Fu Zhu and others also counted this point down, and instead let Zhao and Zhang He attack Pingyuan County first, so they fell into a complete stalemate.
At this time when several parties were quite embarrassed, Guo Jia's letter was delivered to the potter.
"Lou Ban...... Qiu Liju...... Su Muyan ...... Tian Feng! Tao Shang looked at the letter with a light smile, and said: "I didn't expect Tian Feng to really do it to Lou Ban, it seems that he really wants to risk his life, and he also wants us to turn against the Wuhuan people, what does he love about Yuan Shao, can give up his life for him like this." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Teacher, then according to your opinion, should we accept the opinion of the Lou class at the moment and accept the Qiu Liju through the Lou class?" ”
The potter stared at Guo Jia's letter, and everyone really read it for a while, and suddenly said: "The surrendered Wuhuan people naturally want to be surrendered, but we can't accept people like Lou Ban, nor can we accept old guys like Qiu Liju." ”
Zhuge Liang looked at the potter suspiciously, and said, "What does the teacher mean?" ”
The pottery merchant said lightly: "The first emperor died at the hands of the Wuhuan cavalry, this matter is a fact, we must punish the Wuhuan people, but not every Wuhuan person is the culprit, we must get rid of the bad ones and leave the good ones...... The old king Qiu Liju and the prince Louban colluded with Yuan Shao, they were the culprits who killed the Son of Heaven, and they were shameless villains, and now in order to take revenge on Yuan Shao, they want to sacrifice Su Fuyan, the king of Wuhuan Cliff, such a person is despicable and shameless, and must not be used. ”
Zhuge Liang thought carefully for a while, and said, "Could it be that the person the teacher wants to use is the Wuhuan Cliff King Su Fuyan?" ”
The potter also shook his head and said: "Qiu Liju is the mastermind, Su Fuyan is the accomplice, he helped Qiu Liju and others kill so many of our Han people, and also murdered the Son of Heaven, to be honest, he is not a good thing!" ”
Zhuge Liang was surprised when he heard this.
"According to the teacher's meaning, Qiu Liju, Lou Ban, Su Fuyan...... These are not the people we want to surrender, so who are we going to surrender? ”
The pottery merchant stood up and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, you have lived in the south for a long time, and you don't know much about the situation in the north, but over the years, I have been asking the school government to help me keep a close eye on the situation in the north, especially the Wuhuan and Xiongnu tribes. ”
Speaking of this, the potter paused and said, "Do you know that among the Wuhuan leaders, there is a man named Tadun?" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "I know this person, it is said that he is the son of Qiu Liju and the king of Wuhuan in Liaoxi. ”
"Yes, this person from Tadun is brave and good at fighting, and he is Qiu Liju's subordinate, logically speaking, he is qualified to inherit the position of Wuhuan Dadanyu, but in a sense, as long as there is a building class, this matter is very slim for Tatun...... But now, we may be able to give him hope and opportunity. ”
Zhuge Liang looked at him dumbfounded.
own teacher...... Just now he said that Qiu Liju and Lou Ban are shameless villains, and now the ideas he shows don't seem to be much better than Qiu Liju and the others in a sense.
……
The potter then delivered the letter to the guards and asked them to quickly return it to Guo Jia.
After Guo Jia saw the letter, he was relieved and immediately determined the needs of the potter.
In addition to the letter from the potter, Guo Jia's desk also contained a letter that had been hijacked by someone he had sent.
It was an urgent document written by Tian Feng to Yuan Shao.
Looking at the letter, a smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.
When he was young, Tian Feng was brought over.
Tian Feng seemed to know what he was about to face, and he was not afraid. looked at Guo Jia with a solemn face.
"The method of poisoning is very clever!" Guo Jia smiled and said to Tian Fengdao.
"Mr. Guo's interpretation method is also very clever!" Tian Feng is neither humble nor arrogant.
Guo Jia sighed and said, "Mr. Tian, for the sake of Yuan Shao, you gave up so much, is it worth it?" ”
Tian Feng nodded and said, "For the sake of Yuan Gong, everything is naturally worth it." ”
Guo Jia reached out and took it out in his arms, then took out a piece of jade and put it on the table in front of him.
Tian Feng's face turned pale in an instant.
Guo Jia lightly pointed to the piece of jade and Tian Feng's letter, and said, "The token that Yuan Shao gave you was secretly thrown in the river by you three days ago, but it was retrieved by the people in the school affairs and mansion that I have been sending to spy on you secretly, didn't expect it?" ”
Tian Feng's face turned pale in an instant.
"You, you? How do you know ......"
When he said this, Tian Feng suddenly realized.
That's right! It must have been said by Lou Ban.
Guo Jia said lightly: "Guo now has your letter in his hand, there is your token, as long as I want to, I can completely imitate your handwriting, and then with this token, the relationship between you and Yuan Shao will be completely separated!" Do you believe it or not? ”
Tian Feng glared at Guo Jia viciously, his lips trembling constantly.
He knew exactly what the consequences of all this would be.
saw Guo Jiachang sigh, shook his head and said: "Although Guo wants to do this, I sent someone to send a letter to the prime minister this time, but the prime minister did not agree to Guo to act like this." ”
Tian Feng's expression was stunned for a moment.
Guo Jia got up and said: "Although the prime minister also wanted to use the discord scheme at the beginning, let you and Yuan Shao gap each other, and finally had to be attached to him...... But after careful consideration, he decided to abandon the practice. ”
"Why?" Tian Feng said hoarsely.
"Your family is in the hands of Yuan Shao, if you act like this, in the end, it will only make your whole family die in the hands of Yuan Shao...... The prime minister said, killing someone's whole family and accepting people under his command, such a thing, I shudder to think about it, and the world doesn't do it, let alone a gentleman? ”
Tian Feng's lips closed one by one, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know what to say, but in the end, he could only sigh: "Prime Minister Tao Cheng is indeed a gentleman." ”
Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "Don't say it too early...... Prime Minister's intentions, I can't let you die at the moment, I came to you today, in addition to telling you this, there is another thing to tell you, Guo Mou said those things, although he doesn't do it now, but the prime minister has an order, if you dare to commit suicide, he ordered Guo to immediately use letters and tokens to carry out a divisive plan, and then plus Wuhuan to be attached, I am afraid that your relatives will have to die in the hands of Yuan Shao, do you understand? ”
Tian Feng couldn't help but be furious when he heard this: "The good student surnamed Tao is domineering!" He still cares if the old man wants to die or not? It's just despicable! ”
"Guo has already told you clearly, how to do it, you can do it yourself...... Remember, your own life is at stake for the lives of your relatives in Yecheng...... When one person dies, the whole family dies, understand? ”
"Bastard thing! How do you talk with the surname Guo? Your whole family is dead! You and the potter, both of you are dead! ”
