Chapter 0481 - Wishful Thinking
"The lord is facing four opponents at the same time, how sure are you that he can defeat them? The lord estimates that it will take a few years for him to stabilize the society? Frustrated asked.
Yuan Shao thought for a moment and shook his head, his heart was heavy, and he had no confidence or certainty at all. He couldn't answer.
"If the lord takes Jizhou, with the land of one state and Dong Zhuo and other four major forces, it is estimated how long it will be able to support?" Frustrated asked again.
Yuan Shao pondered for a long time, sighed and shook his head. He still couldn't answer.
"Dong Zhuo will let go of the lord and Yuan Valve, will he forgive all those who participated in the fight against Dong?" Tian Feng said, "No, he will kill all those who oppose him." ”
"Will Li Yi let go of the lord and Yuan Valve, and will he forgive all those who refuse to recognize being the son of today? No, Li Yi will kill all those who rebuild the imperial system. ”
"Will Yuan Shu be willing to surrender to his lord? No. At least not yet. ”
"Will the Yellow Turbans miss the opportunity to destroy the society and overthrow the Han family? No, the Yellow Turbans will be our main opponent for some time to come. ”
"Since the lord is cornered, what is the lord hesitating about? At this time, if the hegemony is not built, when will the lord be able to assist the country and the state, revitalize the Han family, and revitalize the society? ”
Judge, Xu You, Feng Ji and others followed suit and expressed the same opinion. Yuan Shao's worries gradually disappeared, and he immediately made up his mind to first try to dominate the industry, and then prosper the society.
If you want to dominate the industry, you must first have a foundation for survival.
Dong Zhuo is now concerned with Central and Western Xinjiang. Li Yi has northern Xinjiang. Yuan Shu has the foundation of Yuan Valve, and all the prefectures and counties in Jing and Henan will soon become his pocket. Yuan Shao now has only one Bohai County. Therefore, Yuan Shao's top priority was to take Jizhou immediately.
But can Jizhou be used as a foundation for plotting hegemony and revitalizing the community?
Curse, Chen Lin and others believe that Jizhou should be the foundation for the revitalization of social education. At that time, Emperor Guangwu relied on the land of Hebei to promote the Han Dynasty, and today Yuan Shao can follow suit. With the advantage of Jizhou, going north can unite Li Yi in northern Xinjiang, westward can attack the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, and southward can sweep away Liu Yu and Liu Bei in Qingzhou, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Ding Yuan and other princes in Yanzhou.
In this way, a year or two later, the lord not only has the land of Jiqing, Yanxu and Xu, millions of heroes with armor, but also countless heroes and heroes. The lord's power will spread all over the north and south of the Yellow River, and hegemony can be achieved.
Then the lord took the power of thunder, first took Yuan Shu, and then joined Li Yi, went west to attack Dong Zhuo, and welcomed the son of heaven in Luoyang. At this time, the situation in the world has changed, how can Li Yi compete with the lord with a northern frontier? At this point, the lord can monopolize the authority, command the world, conquer the rebellion, and the revitalization of the society is just around the corner.
The premise of this policy is that Yuan Shao should respect the son of today and unite with Li Yi. The explanation is that as Dong Zhuo retreats to Guanzhong, his strength will become stronger and stronger, and it will be very difficult for us to defeat Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong and Western Xinjiang alone in the future. If we could get the help of Li Yi and the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry, things would be much easier.
On the contrary, if we fight with Li Yi first, Dong Zhuo will benefit, and the matter of stabilizing the society will become far away. If you want to unite with Li Yi, don't mention the matter of the emperor's unification. As for the Son of Heaven, because he had been held hostage by Dong Zhuo for a long time, his prestige was lost, so he could only abdicate. We revitalize the society and Kuang Zheng Han Dynasty, not to be alone today, Li Yi must make concessions in this matter. He will not do the business of the Son of Heaven for anyone, and confront the court and the whole world.
Judge, Guo Tu and others objected to this opinion. This strategy is good, but his strategy is based on Li Yi's absolute loyalty to the Han. It takes many years to stabilize the society, who can guarantee that Li Yi will not participate in the world hegemony? Won't plot the cause of tyrant? Everyone knows before and after the Luoyang Rebellion that if Dong Zhuo had not entered Beijing, or had given up his authority after entering Beijing, and returned to Guanzhong with the Xiliang Army, where would there be today's disaster of the overthrow of Sheji?
Also, to the north and west of Jizhou is Li Yi, both of which are poor places. In the past few years, because the Central Plains has not stopped rebelling, the displaced people have gone north, the population of the two places has skyrocketed, and the imperial court should have given them relief after Dong Zhuo's disaster, so the two places are now in crisis, and rebellion may break out at any time. In this case, Li Yi's eyes must be staring at Jizhou. We said that we would guarantee the relief money and food in northern Xinjiang, but Li Yi would believe it?
The judge said: "Li Yi will definitely take Jizhou, he will not let Jizhou control the survival of northern Xinjiang, and he will definitely attack Jizhou when our foothold is not stable." Therefore, even if we get our hands on Jizhou, we can't keep it and can't use it as a foundation. In addition, if Li Yi takes Jizhou, his strength will grow by leaps and bounds, and there is no possibility of bowing to us in the future. After he joins forces with us to defeat Dong Zhuo, he will definitely fight us, which is an unavoidable fate for both sides. ”
The trial and others then proposed a strategy based on the Central Plains. Occupy the Central Plains, control most of Luoyang, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou, and then extend our forces to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places, so that we can not only get sufficient money and food, but also rapidly develop our strength, and at the same time temporarily avoid the conflict with Li Yi and accumulate strength. In the future, even if the two sides fight, we can guarantee that we will be invincible.
But there are two difficulties in achieving this strategy, one is to defeat Yuan Shu as soon as possible and drive Yuan Shu away. The second is to defeat Dong Zhuo as soon as possible and take Guanzhong.
If you want to defeat Yuan Shu, you must first occupy Yuzhou, and then attack Liu Biao back and forth, if he doesn't go, it will be a dead end.
If you want to occupy the land of Guanzhong, you must defeat Dong Zhuo. This time, Li Yi's three-way sandwich attack in the middle to win is the best opportunity. Therefore, Yuan Shao was advised to help and cooperate with Li Yi with all his might. We not only send troops, money and food, but also obey the will of the imperial court and don't touch Han Fu for the time being. At this time, we fell out with Han Fu, forcing Han Fu to have no way out, and the Northern Frontier Army was bound to lose money and food support.
But if Yuan Shao sent troops to fight Guanzhong, he would not have the strength to stop the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army from moving south.
Guo Tu said: "We can't stop the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro from moving south, on the contrary, we have to help them join the Yellow Turban Army in the south." It is precisely because of this that we have sent troops to fight Guanzhong. In this way, our guilt of failing to stop the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro from moving south was covered up by the righteousness of King Dong Qin, and our failure was justified, and others had no excuse to accuse us. ”
"The purpose of letting the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro and the Yellow Turban Army of Yuyan Prefecture converge is to ask the Yellow Turban Army to go north to attack Jizhou. Let the Yellow Turban Army attack Jizhou for three purposes. ”
"The first is to force Han Fu to give up the Jizhou pastor and exempt the lord from the charge of forcibly seizing the military and political power in Jizhou. After the Yellow Turban Army went north, Han Fu's troops were not enough to stop him. He had only two ways, one was to ask the lord for help, and the other was to ask the hussar general Li Yi for help. At this time, the lord had already entered the military pass, and there was no time to go north, and only Gongsun Chan could go south to help. ”
"When Gongsun Zan arrives in Jizhou, the lord can promise generous conditions for him to coerce Han Fu to give up Jizhou Mu. Faced with the crisis of the cut off of food and salaries for the army in Northern Xinjiang, in the face of the crime of failing to fight against Dong that he was about to bear, in the face of Gongsun Zhan's powerful force, in the face of the accusations of the officials of the Jizhou Prefecture, in the face of the betrayal of his subordinates, and in the face of the continuous pressure exerted by the lord, Li Yi had no choice but to give up the military and political power in Jizhou. ”
"The second purpose is to induce Gongsun Chan to go south. If the Yellow Turban Army does not fight Jizhou, Gongsun Chan will not go south. After Gongsun Chan went south, the lord gave him all the power that could be given to him, anyway, the lord had an edict in his hand, and he could do whatever he wanted. We did this for one purpose, and that was to arouse Gongsun Zhan's arrogance and make him despise us and think that we were vulnerable. Then we will stir up the relationship between him and Liu Yu and Li Hong, deliberately provoke Gongsun Zhan, and make him have the heart to seize Jizhou and dominate the world. As long as we fight with Gongsun Zhan, coupled with the invasion of the Yellow Turban Army, Jizhou will be in chaos. In order to survive in northern Xinjiang, Li Yi must transfer troops to Jizhou to quell the rebellion. ”
This led to a third purpose, the Great Lord took the opportunity to occupy Guanzhong. After Li Yi conquered the land of Gyeonggi, it is very likely that the eldest princess and the Quanzhou court will move to Luoyang, and they will constantly urge Han Fu and the lord to enter Beijing to discuss matters. Although the lord didn't want to mention the matter of the emperor, the court would not fail to mention it. For the sake of safety, of course, the lord will use all kinds of excuses to shirk. When Li Yi sent troops to Jizhou and all the main forces of northern Xinjiang arrived in Hebei, the lord could go to Luoyang, and Luoyang was at his fingertips. ”
"The lord occupies Luoyang, and at this time Li Yi is trapped on the battlefield in Jizhou, unable to look west, only staring. The northern Xinjiang lost Luoyang, and also lost the money and grain support of Jingzhou and Yuzhou. At this time, Li Yi had to attack with all his strength and take Jizhou first. If Jizhou is occupied by Gongsun Zhan, and Luoyang is lost, Li Yi, the tiger, will really kill himself with a knife to thank Beijiang. ”
"Of course, if Li Yi shakes hands with Gongsun Zhan, we will be under a lot of pressure, but if the two of them fight you to the death, we will be relaxed, and we can plan for hegemony and revitalize the community with peace of mind."
"The lord has taken Guanzhong and Luoyang, and the lord is in charge, and the next thing will be easy to do. The eldest princess and the court are in Luoyang, and the lord coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes to do whatever they want, including attacking Yuan Shu. As for Li Yi, the lord still tried his best to appease, because in the future attack on the western frontier, we need the help of the hussar general. ”
At this time, the judge smiled and said, "You may have been too worried. The hussar general wants to dominate one side, and his first target is, of course, Jizhou. Perhaps we are doing this in the right way for the hussar general. ”
Yuan Shao and the officials sitting down looked at each other and smiled.
"Everyone is a Han courtier, and they must behave and do things in accordance with etiquette and law, so as not to be truthful." Xu You patted his cheek and smiled slightly, "I still want this face." ”
The crowd laughed. (To be continued.) )
