Chapter 0839: Xu Yu's True Colors
"No, ......no," Xu Yu hurriedly stopped, "The chaos in Jiujiang County has a great impact on the Central Plains battlefield. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiujiang County has been tossed enough by Yuan Shu in recent years, and it is so poor that it clangs, where is there still surplus grain to supply the imperial court? I think it's better to forget it, let Yan Xiang be appeased. ”
"I don't know Yuan Shu yet?" Yuan Shao frowned and said unhappily, "If he dies, will his money also be buried in the coffin?" Tell Yan Xiang that if there is no food, he will send me gold, silver, silk and silk. ”
"At the beginning, when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu betrayed the highway last year, they had already ransacked Shouchun." Xu You smiled bitterly, "Originally, Jiujiang County couldn't be messed up. Wasn't Ben Chu worried that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would take the opportunity to go north? ”
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "These two boys won't be so shameless, right?" ”
"You're underestimating them." Xu You shook his head and said, "If you always look at people with old eyes, you will suffer." ”
"If Sun Ce and Zhou Yu want to seek development, they must occupy the second county of Jiangbei, otherwise they will be in a corner of Jiangdong and will achieve nothing. With Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's youth, their ambitions must be ambitious, how can they want to hide in Jiangdong Gou'an I? Once the attitude of the imperial court is tough, Li Shu, Yuan Yin and others feel that they are in crisis and will definitely turn to Jiangdong for help. With the support of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu behind them, they will definitely attack Yan Xiang. With Yan Xiang's weak strength, how could Jiujiang County not lose? ”
Yuan Shao asked in disbelief: "Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have such courage?" ”
"Don't forget that the highway was defeated in the Central Plains because of the betrayal of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. If they can betray the highway, why can't they betray you? Xu You sneered, "Sun Jian is Zhu Jun's disciple, and Zhu Jun served in Hebei a few years ago, so there are many officials in Hebei who are Sun Jian's fellow disciples. The scale of Hebei's attack on the Central Plains was very large, and the planning was also very thorough. In order to take the Central Plains, they will definitely use every opportunity to attack us, and convincing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu must be one of their strategies. ”
Yuan Shao was taken aback, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this might be very big, so he said to Xu You with some dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Yuan Shao's tone was very bad, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Xu You's mention that Jiangdong might endanger the decisive battle in the Central Plains only now.
Xu You saw Yuan Shao's face, and he was even more angry, and said in his heart You have been waving and drinking to me, beckoning when you want to use it, and kicking far away when you don't use it, do I have a chance to say it?
"What's the use of what I said? Do you have a countermeasure? Xu You's face was angry, and his tone was extremely disdainful.
Yuan Shao suddenly became angry, glared at Xu You fiercely, and said in his heart You kid is too arrogant, do you still have me in your eyes? How dare you talk to me like that?!
"Ziyuan, according to your speculation, will Sun Ce and Zhou Yu take advantage of the decisive battle in the Central Plains to take the opportunity to attack Jingzhou?" Feng Ji felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly interjected, wanting to make a round.
"You think they're idiots?" Xu You didn't appreciate it at all, and said to Feng Ji is voice, "If you are in Jiangdong, before you decide the victory in the Central Plains War, do you dare to attack Jingzhou at will?" If we win this battle, how many chances do Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have to occupy Jiangdong? ”
Feng Ji choked him up and didn't say anything for a long time.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said, "Since Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have been ordered to send troops north to the Central Plains, they will probably not tear their faces with us immediately, they will wait for the opportunity and will not cause us too much trouble for the time being." ”
"The book told Yan Xiang to pacify the county and stabilize Jiujiang. In order to prevent Sun Ce and Zhou Yu from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, he was asked to recruit troops and expand the army as soon as possible in case of accidents. ”
………………
When Yuan Shao left Xuchang, he repeatedly asked Yuan Shao to give an order as soon as possible, so that Yuan Tan in Guanzhong and Jian Yong, Chen Deng, and Cao Chun in Xuzhou would immediately launch an attack on the two flanks, so as to contain the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army, consume Hebei's money and grain, and strive to form a decisive battle advantage in the shortest possible time.
After Yuan Shao inspected the front line of Guandu today, he saw that the large battalion of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the other side of the chasm stretched for several miles, with flags fluttering in the camp and cavalry galloping back and forth outside the camp, and he was very uneasy in his heart.
The shadow of the defeat in Jizhou the year before last still lingers in Yuan Shao's heart, which makes him not have much confidence in the decisive battle that has already begun.
Yuan Shao thought of the advice of Fu Zhi before leaving. It seems that in order to defeat the Northern Frontier Army at Guandu, it is necessary to make a breakthrough on the two flank battlefields first.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army has cavalry to help, and its attack power is very sharp." After Yuan Shao, Xu You and others agreed on the matter of Yangzhou, they immediately turned the topic to the matter of opening up the flank battlefield, "If we face each other head-on with the Northern Xinjiang Army in Guandu, the losses will be unimaginable. In this way, even if we defeated the Northern Xinjiang Army with our superiority in strength, we would not be able to take Yan and Xu Prefectures in the shortest possible time according to the predetermined goal, and complete the confrontation with Hebei across the river. As Ziyuan worried just now, if Jiangdong Sun Ce and Zhou Yu join forces with Hebei and suddenly go north to fight for Xu and Yang, or turn west to attack Jingzhou, which has suffered heavy losses, or Cao Cao and Liu Bei take the opportunity to go south to defend Xu and Yang, we will all be in trouble, so our earliest defensive strategy is still correct, we must wait for the opportunity to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army at the lowest cost, otherwise it will be difficult for us to successfully complete the expected goal. ”
"Judging from the current battlefield situation, we want to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army at the lowest cost, and there are many difficulties, and the only way is to turn to seek a breakthrough on the battlefield on both flanks, and then force the Northern Xinjiang Army on the Guandu battlefield into a crisis." Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and the others, pointed to the map on the case, and said, "I plan to order Xiansi and Zhang Ji in Guanzhong to attack Hedong, and order Jian Yong and Chen Deng in Xuzhou to attack Langya County to threaten Qingzhou, and urgently order Cao Chun and Xiahou Shang to lead troops to infest the southern counties of Yanzhou to burn, kill and plunder, so as to consume Hebei's money and grain, and force Li Yi to transfer troops from the Guandu battlefield back to the stable rear of Qingzhou and Yanzhou." ”
"If Xiansi wants to fight Hedong, he must first stabilize Xiliang Hansui. The last time Xiansi attacked Hedong, although the Northern Xinjiang Army was transferred from the Kansai battlefield, it was very risky. Once Han Sui entered Guanzhong, the consequences were unimaginable, so he saw that the Northern Xinjiang Army quickly withdrew from Chang'an after returning to Hedong, which was completely correct. ”
When Xu You said this, he deliberately glanced at Yuan Shao. Last time, Yuan Tan was first reluctant to send troops to attack Hedong, and then hastily withdrew his troops, which was severely criticized by Yuan Shao. Xu You said this, obviously supporting Yuan Tan.
Yuan Shao's face was expressionless, and his eyes were very annoyed.
Xu You smiled slightly, and then said, "In addition, Han Sui, you'd better eat him thoroughly." Han Sui was bent on dominating Xiliang, and for him, the biggest obstacle to dominating Xiliang was barrenness, so occupying the rich Guanzhong was his biggest dream. However, Han Sui's strength is insufficient, Guanzhong is adjacent to the state in the north and Luoyang in the east, even if he can fight, he can't hold it, from this point, what he is most eager for now is the decisive battle in the Central Plains to immediately divide the victory and defeat. The losses of both sides in this battle were staggering, and no one was able to take care of Guanzhong in the short term, so Han Sui would immediately take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Guanzhong, and then dominate the west, forming a three-legged trend with Hebei and Luoyang. ”
"Once the three-legged stand is complete, he can be invincible immediately. Luoyang beats him, and he can join forces with Hebei to attack Kansai. Hebei fights him, and he can unite with Luoyang to counterattack Hedong. In this way, the original hegemony may be even more distant. ”
Xu You looked at Yuan Shao, smiled contemptuously, and continued: "Do you think Han Sui is sleeping in Xiliang now?" Do you think that if you give him money and food, he won't fight Guanzhong? You always underestimate people and treat others as idiots. ”
Xu You shook his head again and again, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I just can't understand, why do you believe in the words of Fu Zhi so much?" When I was a junior official in Julu County, Jizhou, I was already a subordinate of the General's Mansion, could it be that my experience was not as good as his? At that time, the general He Jin invited Han Sui into the mansion, and I sat on one side, listened carefully to his remarks, and felt that this person was not a thing in the pool. Now it seems that my judgment was very accurate. It seems that Han Sui's ambition is in the western Xinjiang, but in fact, he is ambitious in the world. He will never be satisfied with a small western frontier, you don't know you know? ”
Yuan Shao's face was ugly. Since he was driven away by himself, this Xu You has become more and more presumptuous, and he has become more and more unpopular.
"After the decisive battle in the Central Plains, Han Sui will inevitably fight Guanzhong." Xu You waved his hand vigorously and said categorically, "So now that Xiansi can fight Hedong, you don't need to give Han Sui a lot of money and food for nothing." The more you send, the harder and more resolute he hits. But ......"
Xu You pointed to Chang'an on the map and continued: "Xiansi fights Hedong, there will be losses in troops, and after the decisive battle in the Central Plains, it is too difficult for you to hold Guanzhong." As long as Han Sui persuaded Ma Chao and stabilized Xiliang, the two joined forces, tens of thousands of cavalry went down, and Guanzhong immediately became the world of Xiliang people. ”
Yuan Shao Huo Ran realized, and his heart trembled, and an unspeakable loss and pain invaded his whole body in an instant. Yuan Shao's face became ugly, and he secretly thought, "Could it be that I just give up Guanzhong?" I've spent a lot of effort to lay down the level, how can I give up in vain? ”
"Are you reluctant?" Xu You looked at Yuan Shao's cheeks, suddenly laughed, pointed at Yuan Shao and said, "Originally, don't be so stingy. You have obtained the vast and rich Central Plains, what do you want to do in that deserted Guanzhong? Compared to the Central Plains, Guanzhong is chicken ribs, tasteless food, throw it to Han Sui, this will not only make Han Sui no longer have thoughts about us in a short time, but also divert the attention of the Northern Frontier Army. After the defeat of the Northern Xinjiang Army, they will inevitably change their strategy of pacifying the world, and their goal will immediately shift to Guanzhong. Han Sui occupied Guanzhong, which did not help to solve the poverty of Xiliang in the short term, and in comparison, it was much easier for the Northern Xinjiang Army to fight him than to go south to the Central Plains again.
