531. Chapter 531: The Argument Goes By
Hearing Wen Zhao's words, Sima Lang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they became extremely active in sending troops to rescue Liu Bei and help him defend Yuzhou.
After all, if Guanzhong has the barrier of Yuzhou, there is no need to think about abandoning the two counties of Hanoi County and Henan Yin.
Sima Lang immediately said: "Zhongde's words are good, the lord can send three generals to garrison troops in Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, and Shangdang County. ”
"If Liu Xuande is defeated, he can contain Yuan Benchu's forces and make him dare not go south to capture Yuzhou. If Yuan and Liu are deadlocked, the lord can take advantage of the fire and take the opportunity to attack Jizhou. ”
Wen Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't speak for a while, but gently stroked his already long beard. Unintentionally, he saw the smile on Jia Xu's face, and his heart suddenly moved.
Generally speaking, Jia Xu is the kind of person who plots and decides, and rarely takes the initiative to offend others, but Jia Xu's words today are a bit abnormal.
According to Jia Xu's resourcefulness, it is not difficult to guess that when he says such a thing, he will offend the Sima brothers, as well as many officials from Hanoi County and Henan Yin.
But in fact, Jia Xu still said it without hesitation. If there is no mystery in this, Wen Zhao will never believe it.
Turning his gaze to Jia Xu again, Chen Xu asked: "My Guan military master is smiling, there is no worry on his face, and he looks confident, but what has not been said yet?" ”
When everyone heard Wen Zhao's words, they all fell on Jia Xu again.
Jia Xu was also not stage frightened, and took two steps forward with a slight smile. He looked around and quietly glanced at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in the council chamber.
No one expected that Jia Xu, who had always been extremely low-key, would be uncharacteristically abnormal at this time and began to show his sharp fangs.
I saw Jia Xu holding his head high and saying loudly: "You are only discussing the battle of Yuan and Liu, but you have ignored many other unstable factors. And pinning his hopes on Yuan Benchu not being able to defeat Liu Xuande, is it too high to think of Liu Yuzhou? ”
"Liu Yuzhou is eloquent and strategic, and he has the style of a bright master, which is not bad. However, after all, he has no more than 50,000 soldiers, and he will not be able to defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and his strategists are only Sun Qian and Jian Yong. ”
"Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Ran under Yuan Benchu's account are not ordinary people. As for Sun Qian and Jian Yong, they are far from Fu Zhu, Xu You, and others. ”
"After Yuan Benchu was a famous family, since he started his army, the number of talented and virtuous people has been counted, and it can be said that the strategists are like rain, and the generals are like clouds."
"Compared with Yuan Benchu, who is full of talents, Liu Yuzhou's strength is simply not worth mentioning. If there is no accident, Liu Xuande's defeat will be undoubted. ”
"Liu Xuande's army was defeated, even if the lord was able to send troops to deter Yuan Benchu and make him dare not lead his troops south, it is difficult to guarantee that Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu will not take the opportunity to capture Yuzhou."
What's more, Yuan Benchu was very proud, and after several years of cultivation and recuperation, his strength was extremely strong. This expedition to Gongsun Zan is as powerful as splitting bamboo, and the morale of Yuan's army must be extremely high. ”
"If the lord brings heavy troops to deter Yuan Benchu, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make a desperate bet and do his best to fight with the lord. At that time, I waited for the bottom to fight, or didn't I fight? ”
Jia Xu's words made everyone's faces change greatly, even Wen Zhao.
As Jia Xu said, everyone focused their eyes on Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, but ignored the two factors of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
And compared to Yuan Shao's strong strength, Liu Bei is obviously very weak. Hoping that he can persist undefeated under Yuan Shao's troops is obviously a bit illusory.
More importantly, if Liu Bei was quickly defeated, and the Guanzhong army was stationed on the eastern line of Bingzhou to deter Yuan Shao, would it make Yuan Shao angry and angry, and a full-scale war broke out?
Although Chen Xu's strength is strong, Yuan Shao is not weak at all, if he really wants to annoy Yuan Shao, the consequences will be unimaginable. The most important thing is that almost from the beginning to the end, the strategists of Guanzhong did not think that a full-scale war would break out with Yuan Shao at this time.
The meeting hall was quiet, and almost all the civil and military under Wen Zhao held their breath, and the sound of needles could be heard. At that moment, a slightly arrogant voice broke the silence in the chamber.
I saw Lu Bu say loudly: "If you want to fight, you will fight, why be afraid?" The lord might as well directly do his best, take advantage of Yuan Shao's two-front battle, Xingda army to destroy Yuan Shao first, and then occupy the entire north of the Han Dynasty, and then sweep the rest of the princes, wouldn't it be happy? ”
Lu Bu's words detonated the council hall again, and the generals said one after another: "What Wen Hou said is good, the Lord Justice will take this opportunity to destroy Yuan Shao first, and raise the prestige of my Guanzhong soldiers!" ”
Some Wenchen said: "Yuan Shao's strength is strong, and he must not be easily engaged in battle, so it is better to plan to seize Yizhou first." ”
At this stage, a full-scale war broke out with Yuan Shao, which was not a situation that the Guanzhong strategists wanted to see. After all, this does not fit in with Guanzhong's established strategy.
Even if Cheng Yu suggested that the general should be stationed in Bingzhou in three ways, and take advantage of Liu Bei's time to drag Yuan Shao's army to attack Youzhou and Hebei Prefecture, everyone did not take it seriously.
After all, almost no one felt that Liu Bei had the ability to hold back Yuan Shao's army. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, this is just empty words.
I'm afraid that even Cheng Yu himself doesn't think that this plan can be implemented.
Later, Sima Lang agreed with Cheng Yu's words, and he wanted to use this to deter Yuan Shao, so that when Liu Bei was defeated, he could contain Yuan Shao and make Yuan Shao have no time to seize the land of Yuzhou.
In the final analysis, many of the strategists in Guanzhong were not ready to break out a war with Yuan Shao. Their minds have almost been imprisoned by the strategy that Guanzhong has already set.
But for the generals, they don't take many exams. Only on the battlefield can military generals make military exploits, win fame and fortune, and protect their children.
Therefore, many generals directly suggested that Yuan Shao be eliminated first.
The generals wanted to fight and threatened to destroy Yuan Shao; However, the scribes said that Yuan Shao was powerful and could not start a war with him. The two sides quarreled with each other, causing chaos in the chamber.
Wen Zhao looked around at everyone, but found that Jia Xu was still smiling, but Cheng Yu, Tian Feng, Li Ru, Sima Yi and others were silent, with a thoughtful look on their faces.
Seeing that everyone was fighting more and more fiercely, Wen Zhao immediately felt a little headache. He coughed lightly twice, stopped the crowd who were arguing with each other, and said in a deep voice, "Be quiet, be quiet for a while." ”
When everyone heard Wen Zhao's words, they all stopped arguing and turned their eyes on Chen Xu.
