Chapter 1627: The Battle of Xuzhou (223)
Liu Lan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu Guandong four princes, the four of them have different attitudes towards the Han family, Liu Lan once asked himself very carefully, if Emperor Xian really came to Xuzhou, how would he choose, and finally came to a conclusion, he would follow Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Therefore, in the treatment of the Han family, Liu Lan and Cao Cao's attitude is the same, they both think that now is not the best time, and Yuan Shao's attitude is actually quite ambiguous from the beginning, Liu Lan is difficult to judge how he will choose, but judging from his support for Liu Yu and this matter, at least he actually wants to do something to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, otherwise, he will not let Cao Cao send the Son of Heaven to Jizhou after Cao Cao supports the Son of Heaven, but if Emperor Xian really arrives in Jizhou, will he continue to sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven or be deposed by him, Then I can't know for sure.
If you look at it this way, the three of them have a very clear understanding, that is, they have to go to the conquest under the banner of Kuangfu Han Dynasty, on the other hand, Yuan Shu knows from later generations and now his small actions, this person has reached the point of urgency for self-reliance, if his strength is still strong, maybe he can still endure it, and he has no chance to win the world now, but after the change in his heart, he can't wait.
This kind of psychology, Liu Lan is difficult to peek at, if it were him, he would really be a man with his tail between his legs, but Yuan Shu didn't seem to care about this, and even became more and more high-profile, which was incomprehensible.
But if Yuan Shu is really the emperor, then he will become the target of the public, everyone, especially Cao Cao, must turn the spearhead to him, if he can still hold Guangling in the battle of Xuzhou, then there will be a chance to compete with Cao Cao for the opportunity of Shouchun, and it may even be a good opportunity for him to make a comeback. But if the battle of Xuzhou is forced to retreat to Moling, then in the battle for Shouchun, it is bound to lose the opportunity, even if he can occupy Shouchun, there is no depth, it is difficult to prevent Cao Cao's attack, so in the end it is still empty joy.
Although these thoughts seem to be far away, at least they have nothing to do with the Battle of Xuzhou, but Liu Lan knows that the success or failure of the Battle of Xuzhou will be related to the next trend of the world, which will affect the whole body, but in his opinion, it is closely related.
People can't be too short-sighted, just look at the present, Liu Lan must think of some back roads for the worst consequences of the Battle of Xuzhou, just like Yuan Shao will also consider that once the Battle of Xuzhou is lost, he will change the strategy and deployment of Jizhou, from active attack to strategic contraction defense.
However, since Wen Chou went south to Chengyang, a series of happy events made him completely reassured, and he hoped that Wen Chou and Gao Ran could end the Battle of Xuzhou as soon as possible, although he also knew that the Battle of Xuzhou could not end easily, as if it took him three and a half years to deal with a job, and how could it be so easy to really eliminate Liu Lan.
But at the moment when he would ask if there was a war report from Xuzhou every day, the documents between Wen Chou and Gao Ran came one after another.
Yuan Shao's documents of the two surprised him, but he didn't expect that the thing he was most afraid of happened after a thousand instructions, and the two of them still turned against each other, and even went their own way, this matter made him extremely angry, and summoned all the masterminds, this matter has reached the point of urgency, Yuan Shao did not have any greetings, and directly told Xun Zhan a few people about what happened, and then Guo Tu took the lead in getting up and said: "General, I don't know if I can let someone take a look at the documents?" ”
"Yes, you can all take a look." Yuan Shao handed over the letter on the low table to the several conspirators sitting below, and after several people sat in the hall and circulated it one after another, especially after Tian Feng handed over the letter to Xun Zhan, he glanced at him, and it happened that he also looked over, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and then exchanged a look.
The two instantly remained consistent, as far as the content of the letter is concerned, it can be said that the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, if you want to determine who is right and wrong, it is relatively difficult, but in terms of facts, the two made a consistent judgment in eye contact this time.
As for such a thing, who is right and wrong, the two of them don't care anymore, after all, what they want to see is not only how to resolve the contradiction between the two, but also how to make Jizhou achieve the final victory in the battle of Xuzhou.
And from the decision of the two, it is obvious that Gao Ran's choice is correct, and it can even be said to be in his own interests, so the two of them reached an agreement in an instant, and then they will fully support Gao Ran.
After that, Xun Zhan, who had read the letter in a hurry, returned the document to Yuan Shao, in which the two asked the lord to order the other party to join him, and Gao Ran made a request, that is, let him replace Wen Chou, transfer Wen Chou back to Linzi, and cooperate with Yuan Tan to quell the bandits in Qingzhou.
Compared with Gao Ran's transfer, Wen Chou was much more excited, and he even asked Yuan Shao to allow him to kill and seize the right to take it again, although Wen Chou, who is the main general, has this right, but Gao Ran's identity is special after all, if it is not for some scruples, as early as Yancheng, Wen Chou will do it, and he will not report to Yuan Shao, so the attitude of the two is very clear, with you or me, either transfer Wen Chou away, or escape from the battle and execute Gao Ran, otherwise the two have you and him.
The appearance of this incident can be said to be a microcosm of the internal chaos in Jizhou, he didn't expect that the thing he was most afraid of finally happened, Yuan Shao's face became very gloomy, but he couldn't get angry, in this matter, he read Wen Chou's document and felt that Gao Ran changed his killing, and after reading Gao Lan's paperwork, he felt that Wen Chou was less wise, and he only felt that what the two of them said was reasonable, and finally even he hesitated, who should he support?
He asked himself, but he couldn't get any answers, so he could only call a few masterminds over, and listen to them, although these people belong to the three major factions, but in this matter, it is really not so easy to collude, after all, you first have to say a reason, not just who to support, how can it be so simple, why do you support him.
And in this way, he can see whose decision between the two is more realistic, whose decision can bring the greatest benefits to Jizhou, in the past ten years, he has suffered losses in addition to the battle of Jizhou, lost land and lost the army, but that is not because he only listened to Tian Feng alone, although he now attaches more importance to frustration, but at the critical moment, these six masterminds still have to discuss together to decide, and he will not make the mistake planted on Tian Feng again.
And his own changes have also completely made Jizhou enter a period of rapid development, and the political, economic and military have been advancing all the way, which has the huge strength that now occupies the four states.
"My lord, I thought I wanted to get Wen Chou back and hand over his troops to Gao Lan, only in this way can we really achieve victory in Xuzhou, a brilliant victory."
"Oh? That's what you think, so tell me that you support Gao Ran's idea, right? Yuan Shao asked quietly, Guo Tu supported Gao Lan, he glanced at the search next to him without any reaction, he closed his eyes as if he was asleep, it would never be him who followed the instructions Guo Tu, but why did Guo Tu of the Yingchuan Department say something for Gao Lan? Although Gao Ran doesn't seem to belong to any faction, after all, he is from Jizhou, belongs to Han Fu's old generals, and is close to Jizhou scholars like Tian Feng, it stands to reason that these words should be frustrated to them, and Guo Tu should dismantle the stage and support Wen Chou, but at this time, there is such a situation, he feels that there must be a conspiracy, at least an ulterior purpose, as soon as he thinks of this, the ominous feeling in his heart is even deeper.
"Returning to the general, I think that since I have joined forces with Cao Cao again, then letting Cao Cao enter the Xuzhou battlefield as soon as possible is the key to defeating Liu Lan, so that our troops will be overwhelmingly superior, and it will be easy to deal with Liu Lan, but General Wen Chou is willing to seek the near and far, he returns to Kaecheng, he will definitely be in Guan Yu's treacherous scheme, even if he doesn't, he will also have a hard fight with the Setshan battalion, there is no absolute advantage in troops, how many percent of General Wenchou's chances of winning?"
"Is that so?" What Guo Tu said is already very clear, of course, Yuan Shao naturally does not think that he is thinking about the overall situation, for Cao Cao, the Yingchuan scholars have always been friendly, it is likely that he took this opportunity to make the alliance between them more stable.
Yes, you can all take a look. Yuan Shao handed over the letter on the low table to the few masterminds sitting below, and after several people sat in the hall and circulated it one after another, especially after Tian Feng handed over the letter to Xun Zhan, he glanced at it, and it happened that he also looked over, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and then exchanged a look.
