Chapter 1599: The Battle of Xuzhou (196)

"The humble position is confirmed, in the early years, when the humble post traveled, he had been to Liaodong, and he came to Bohai in person, and heard the local fishermen say that Bohai will freeze in winter, only the deep sea and the Huangxian sea area will not have a warmer climate, and at this time, Zhang Fei is precisely in the coldest and frozen Liaodong sea, so the humble position will say that this is a stupid way, because as long as Bohai is frozen, then Zhang Fei will have the whole world, and he will not be able to take a boat south to Huangxian."

"Haha, that's a stupid idea!"

Yuan Shao laughed, don't look at his early years in Bohai County as a county guard, although close to Bohai, but the Bohai Sea within his control rarely freezes in winter, at most it is just some ice floe, but he forgot that Zhang Fei's Bohai is located in Liaodong, where is Bohai County in winter, how can it be compared with it, let alone another month, I am afraid that it will start to count nine in another half a month, and it is estimated that I will not wait for the spring flowers to bloom and the ice will disappear, and then don't think about crossing Huangxian in the south.

"Okay, great, if it weren't for your reminder, I really wouldn't have thought of this, then now pass the book over, let Chou get ready, and the news of the south must make him hide and secretly enter Chengyang County."

Now he knows the situation in Xuzhou, but he can return it clearly, but the attack on Langya still requires stability, as long as the news of returning to Cheng Yu is not late, it will be much easier when fighting Langya, after all, Liu Lan has transferred the main force of the mountain battalion back to Yancheng, as for Xu's Langya army, whether they will defend or retreat, by surprise, it is not ten or nine times stable?

In fact, in terms of the current situation, he also knows that it was all caused by his own decision-making, and he didn't listen to some words, and he regretted it when he thought about it afterwards, but this was all the result of hindsight, who could really expect a certain decision at that time?

No one knows what will happen tomorrow, let alone the next five hundred years? It seems that the Han Dynasty has come to this point, who is responsible, everyone has different opinions, some say that the party is strong, some say that the eunuch party also says that there are relatives, of course, Dong Zhuo is the most, but why can Dong Zhuo succeed, is it not because of Emperor Ling?

If he hadn't put Dong Zhuo in Hedong to balance the general, there would not be today's situation, to put it mildly, this is all Emperor Ling's own fault, but at the moment when Emperor Ling made this decision, choosing Dong Zhuo was definitely the most reasonable decision in his opinion.

It's just that the world is impermanent, so Emperor Ling miscalculated, and the Han Dynasty also went to destruction because of his decision, and Yuan Shao himself also made a mistake at the beginning of the third Battle of Xuzhou, but at the time, he didn't think so, and he only reacted after time to verify it, but these small mistakes, although they lost the general Yan Liang, but after all, the Battle of Xuzhou is not over, and now their situation will get better and better, so whether he can have the last laugh will soon know the answer.

In fact, in Yuan Shaoxin, Liu Lan has always been a martial artist without any foundation, and he can't become a climate, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, they have the support of the clan, which is his Yuan Shao's biggest enemy, of course, and Yuan Shu, it is more like a struggle within the Yuan family, the two have divided the power of the Yuan family, and the battle will be a complete integration of forces, and at that time, the accumulation of hundreds of years of the Yuan family will be a solid foundation for finally dominating the world.

Although Yuan Shao doesn't want to dominate the world by himself, he just said that the Yuan family, although it is a modest move, but this is also determined by the current strength of the two brothers, and in the end, no matter who wins or loses the two brothers, there will be one of them who laughs and laughs at the end.

But Yuan Shu is too wasteful, the three battles of Xuzhou made him completely blue his foundation, and finally led to Liu Lan, who was the least valued by him, and now he can actually argue with him, this situation Yuan Shao received Yuan Shu's request for help, how to deal with it, ignore it, and let him fend for himself?

If it was before, there was really this possibility, but looking at the three of them, Yuan Shao found that this kind of brotherly discordant thing, he couldn't do it as a father, he had to set an example, no matter how much he and the Yuan Shu brothers had met each other, but when dealing with foreign enemies, they could release their previous suspicions.

And this is the current situation of attacking Liu Lan, but Yuan Shu and Cao Cao's alliance formed an alliance, this situation made him a little unbearable, although he had seen through Cao Cao, but he didn't expect him to be such a wagging tail beggar and beggar, so after he felt that Cao and Yuan could deal with Liu Lan, he accepted Liu Lan's cession of Qingzhou, in order to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then send troops to eliminate Cao Cao.

But in the end, because of the stupidity of Yuan Tan and Yan Liang, his plan fell short, and now he asked Cao Cao to attack Liu Lan, but I am afraid that he will not do it again.

If Guan Yu is guarding against them in Langya, maybe Cao Cao still has the guts, but Guan Yu is in Yan County, and the strength of their coalition forces really doesn't have the confidence to continue to provoke Liu Lan, but it is possible to attract hatred to themselves, and when Liu Lan fights with them, everyone will be finished.

In this situation, the cunning Cao Cao knows that he will not be the unjust leader, but what about Yuan Shao himself, does he really want to be the unjust leader?

Definitely not, what is the purpose of sending troops this time, to avenge Yan Liang, of course, this is just a superficial statement, and it is not a matter of thinking about the fisherman's profit, so attacking Langya is just to create a condition for Cao Cao to send troops, but it is not very clear whether Cao Cao will be responsible for this matter.

In fact, this battle was fought too quickly, and he also knew that both Fu Zhi and Xun Zhan and others were opposed internally, especially fighting Liu Lan too early, it was too risky and risky, but Yuan Shao could understand their strategic intentions and mood of gradual encroachment, but he really couldn't wait, or he was already a little impatient.

With such a mood, I'm afraid few people in this world will understand, seeing him like Emperor Guangwu, encompassing this great river and mountain, how can he sit still?

The idea of replacing the Liu family with the Yuan family was the idea, but then he didn't dare to fantasize about it, he thought of a person, the general He Jin, a mentor and a friend.

He thought of his promise to the general back then, and together he helped the young emperor to ascend the throne, but in the end, because of Dong Zhuo, he fell short, and later he wanted to set up Liu Yu, but he would rather die than go to Donghu than agree, Yuan Shao's heart at that time swelled with endless anger, the emperor throne of the Liu family, at least at which time, as long as it was not Dong Houcheng!

He asked himself at that time, he was respectful of the Han, and he had never been as explicit as his brother Yuan Shu, and it could even be said that he was mostly against Emperor Xian, but now watching Dong Hou become a puppet in Cao Cao's hands, although he had a deep sadness in his heart, how could he not be happy?

Maybe this is the blessing of the great general.

Yan Liang's face suddenly showed a bitter smile, but the frustration on the side couldn't know what he was thinking at this moment, Yuan Shao got up and turned around to leave as if he had lost his soul, as if he had long forgotten the frustration of the house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Liu Lan's order was transmitted to the dock as soon as possible, and at this moment in the dock fort, in addition to the main general Lu Su, there was also the sailor governor Zhou Tai.

"The lord finally remembered us." After Lu Su took the letter, he smiled at Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai's navy was originally in Guangling, and as the situation in Guangling was controlled, the army was immediately divided into two, Jiang Qin led one to stay in Guangling, and Zhou Tai took the headquarters to the Wuxuwu.

From the moment he arrived at Dock Fort, Lu Su knew that they had something to do, but there was no news quietly in the next few months, which made Lu Su begin to wonder, could it be that the lord was just afraid that something would happen to Dock Fort?

Finally, he waited for the lord's order, and after reading the letter, he couldn't help but say to Zhou Tai: "It seems that you sailors have no chance to make meritorious contributions, this time the lord is still using soldiers, let me lead the headquarters to attack Shouchun, it seems that the dock fort has to be defended by your sailors." ”

"It is said that the lord is good at soldiers, it seems that we sailors can only hope to go to Jiujiang next time and face off against Sun Ce." Zhou Tai wanted to prove the value of the existence of the navy, but whether it was the previous battle of Jiujiang or the current battle of Xuzhou, there was no place for it, which made him feel a little bad.

"Don't be in a hurry, sooner or later there will be a day when you will prove it." Lu Su comforted him and said: "In fact, the current situation, you also understand, the center of gravity is in the north, there is no chance to fight, but you remember Sun Ce, but don't forget that there is also Liu Biao, although Liu Biao is not moved now, it may not be moved in the future, so ah, you wait patiently." ”

"Liu Biao? Is this really possible? ”

Lu Su smiled faintly: "Frankly speaking, the lord is just focusing on the Yuan and the north now, and it is also said that the Cao Cao Yuan brothers are the primary figures in his mind, but do you think these people can be eliminated?" If he can't, then the lord can only turn to some other targets, it seems to be Sun Ce before. ”

"I seem to have some goals."

"Alright, I've got to go, I'll leave it to you."

"In such a hurry?"

"The lord said very clearly, immediately send troops." The smile on Lu Su's face disappeared instantly: "It seems that you still haven't understood the content of the lord's letter, so keep it and think about it." Lu Su said earnestly. After all, once there is some accident and the letter falls into the hands of the enemy, all the deployments may be exposed under the nose of the enemy, and all the hidden words become very important, and for Zhou Tai, the content of the letter seems to be just to send troops to Shouchun, but the real order is to send troops to Shouchun as soon as possible, to sabotage, and force Yuan Shu to recall Zhang Xun.

It is also a trick to save Zhao from Wei again, it seems that the lord is tired of this plan, I heard that Tian Yu of Liaodong led the troops to attack Youzhou, this situation is somewhat similar to their current entry into Shouchun, but the situation in Liaodong is not like Shouchun, so it must be that Tian Yu's side did not receive the effect, so the lord thought of him again.

After changing his armor, Lu Su ordered the troops to begin to assemble, and there were 5,000 troops in Wubaozhi, these were his own people, of course, these people were not his private songs, although he came to Liu Lan's suitability to bring a team of private songs from the family, but most of them were finally sent back to the family, leaving only dozens of cronies to help him.

Liu Lan is very disgusted with private soldiers, but the situation of private soldiers in this era is too common, but Liu Lan would rather recruit soldiers than use private soldiers, and he has nothing to say, but I heard that Liu Lan is going to gradually take back the armed rights of the big family, although I don't know what the effect of this Moling will be, but the backlash is certain, I hope that there will be less bloodshed at that time.

This Moling was originally an order issued by Emperor Ling in order to deal with the Yellow Turban, and it was through this order that the big family had the right to arms, and the world became what it is today, most of which are inseparable from this order, of course, there is no absolute in the world, and at that time this order undoubtedly played a key role in the demise of the Yellow Turban, but at this time, Liu Lan's absolute control of the army made him have to solve these remaining problems.

It seems that Zhou Tai and Tai Shici, to put it bluntly, they all brought their own private soldiers to serve, and these private soldiers only knew them, not Liu Lan, this situation is somewhat similar to Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi, so if it is just to deal with the enemy, then there is no problem with such private soldiers, they are all his soldiers, but if these people have any misdeeds, then their soldiers and horses will be the blades of their hands.

Fortunately, Liu Lan has the least such circumstances, and Cao Cao should be the prince with the most private soldiers, but if there are no private soldiers, how can Cao Cao have today's status?

Therefore, there are no absolutes, and the troops in his dock fort are transferred from the Xuzhou troops, although they are drawn from various armies, but after all, they are all soldiers loyal to Liu Lan, Lu Su commands them to fight against the enemy is easy, but it is difficult to do something wrong.

Maybe this is the situation that Liu Lan wants, so he can attack Shouchun, he can go, but Zhou Tai has been drying, although he doesn't know what the lord's plan is, but if he is not at ease with Zhou Tai, most likely because his troops are private songs, and he has no water army, so he can only keep Zhou Tai and his private songs as a faΓ§ade, and if he really expands the water army in the future, then he will inevitably talk to Zhou Tai about private songs, just like Liu Lan and his conversation back then.

Back then, Lu Su brought private songs to Liu Lan, which was a good thing in itself, and the soldiers who were suddenly obtained were a good thing in anyone's eyes, but Liu Lan refused, very clearly refused, and even talked to him about his views on private songs, which is a double-edged sword.

The troops were quickly assembled, and then 5,000 people rushed to Shouchun, after all, 5,000 people, grain and grass are also well prepared, as long as they bring enough rations, to feed the war, this is Lu Su's idea of attacking Shouchun, although there is a disaster, but so what's the matter, the hungry are poor peasants, and the rich are not good to eat and drink.

So there's no need to worry.
