"Your lord's strategy, there is no flaw, suppress it with dignified momentum, expand its internal contradictions, and finally cause disputes and even conflicts due to dissent from war or peace, our army can accept the effect of surrendering without a fight."

Jia Xu was not in a hurry to answer Wang Yu's question head-on, but unhurriedly analyzed Wang Yu's strategy to attack Cao.

Wang Yu was a little confused, this strategy was discussed between him and Jia Xu, is there any flaw, Jia Xu still doesn't know it? However, he also knew that Jia Xu would not be untargeted, so he listened patiently.

"What is the biggest premise of the alliance besieging a certain prince? Is he too strong? Or do you do a lot of evil? Or is he a big grudge? No, it's neither, but to be famous! Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu first, and then disturbed Xuzhou, and in the Hebei War, he repeatedly contributed to Yuan Shao......"

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "In this way, among the seven princes of Hebei and the Central Plains, there are six families with them. With Dong Zhuo's arrogance at the beginning, in the face of the situation of the world discussing together, even if few people really attacked, he was still panicked and made a plan to move the capital early. ”

"Although Cao Cao is also a strong man today, no matter his strength or status, where can he compare with Dong Zhuo? As soon as the Cao Alliance is attacked, the hidden dangers within it will inevitably erupt, no matter how many relatives of the Cao family are, how can they protect all the huge territories under it? ”

"If Guo Jia really has the power to break the game as the lord said, but his plan to break the game will not be able to get out of this framework after all. The best strategy is to not let the alliance have a chance to form a chance, at least not to let us smoothly point the finger at Cao Cao. From this point of view, then we have to count how many names we have in Cao......"

Jia Xu wrenched his fingers and began to count them one by one: "Avenge Liu Dai?" Our army does not seem to have this position; Crusade against the remnants of Yuan Shao? This confused Zhang Yang, Gao Gan and Cao Cao, and expanded the target of the crusade. It's not good for building momentum...... In addition to these, it seems that it is for him to stir up the situation in Mount Tai and Xuzhou with a conspiracy, and the feud against Yuan Shu can be talked about. ”

Wang Yu thought about it, every time Liu Bei and Sun Quan joined forces in history, they were very justified and bold to crusade against national thieves. But now that Cao Cao has not coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, let alone usurped the throne or anything, the excuse for the alliance's crusade is really not easy to find.

"Of course, the name is not a big deal. If our army is strong, it doesn't matter if you find any one. The problem is that if Guo Jia is really as clever as the lord said, he will not be unable to think of the simplest and most practical way. That's the retreat. ”

Jia Xu didn't take the map, but pointed out of thin air with his fingers: "He only needs to give up the northern kingdom of Jibei and the state of Lu, and he can temporarily disengage from our army; If you give up Peiguo, there will be no risk of bordering Xuzhou; There is a buffer zone between Qianjun and Runan, which have not yet been occupied, and Yuan Shu, so that even if an alliance is formed. It's hard to make a substantive attack. ”

"Indeed......" Wang Yu smacked his lips, and he was also helpless, restricting him from continuing to fight. The main reason for the all-round expansion of the results of the war is the logistical supply.

In fact, at the end of the Hebei War, Tian Feng had already been in a hurry many times. That's why Wang Yu took the risk of launching a decisive battle. After the victory, countless armor and equipment were captured. The number of soldiers has exceeded his own body several times, and the expansion of his territory is also predictable, but he has not captured much grain and grass.

The Yuan Shao that Wang Yu faced was not the strongest version of Yuan Shao in history who unified Hebei and operated for many years. At the beginning of the war, Yuan Shao couldn't even completely control Jizhou, especially the three counties in the north, and almost immediately raised the flag to respond to Gongsun Zhan, isn't this how Zhao Yun came?

The tragic Hebei War almost drained the counties under Yuan Shao's jurisdiction, and Wang Yu not only could not obtain enough spoils, but if he wanted to expand the tuntian in the newly occupied area next year, he would have to put money and grain into it.

This is not a small amount, even the most conservative estimates, Qingzhou's territory will have to more than double, and the population will more than triple!

It can be imagined how complicated Tian Feng's mood would be when he got the good news. Wang Yu believed that in this case, if he wanted to raise troops to attack the strong enemy again and start a continuous battle, Tian Feng would be able to drown himself with a foaming star.

Of course, Tian Feng's complaint is not the decisive factor, the key is that there is no food, how can there be a war without food?

It was in this context that Wang Yu thought of forming an alliance to coerce Cao Cao. If I remember correctly, at the time of the Battle of Guandu in history, many of Cao Cao's staff were shaken, and it was not unimaginable to weaken or even disintegrate Cao Cao's power through coercion and a small number of military actions.

However, this trick is not unsolvable.

As Jia Xu said, this is the same as Dong Zhuoqian, as long as Cao Cao is decisive, gives up part of the territory, and implements the strategy of clearing the wilderness, even if the alliance is formed, it will be difficult to deal a major blow to him.

Not to mention the blow, it is a question whether anyone will enter the army, the supply line is stretched, and the enemy cannot be given food to the enemy, no one will do this kind of fruitless business.

Anyway, Cao Cao's broken wrist can be regarded as a loss, and it can be regarded as revenge, Tao Qian and Yuan Shu must not be unforgiving. As for a few people from Hebei, at most they are just waving their flags and shouting, and they are just strong, can they be expected to chase and fight Cao Cao all the way?

"If he is decisive, Cao Cao can even give up Dongjun, as long as he concentrates the grain stock in a few important strongholds and sends a general to stay behind, our army will attack Dongjun, and the gains will outweigh the losses. In addition, our army's attack on Yanzhou will also appear aggressive, and it may also arouse the vigilance of princes from all walks of life. ”

In addition to Jia Xu's insight into people's hearts, he is also very good at analyzing complex situations, both of which are Wang Yu's shortcomings, which are just supplements.

If Wang Yu really attacked Dongjun, he couldn't count on his own help, but he might provoke an anti-Qingzhou alliance.

Gao Gan and Zhang Yang's jealousy of Wang Yu is self-evident; And Luoyang's Lu Bu was somewhat unpleasant to Wang Yu, and considering the good relationship between Lu Bu and Zhang Yang, as well as the threat to Luoyang after Wang Yu obtained Dongjun, it is difficult to say how Lu Bu would react.

Thinking about it further, with Cao Cao's means, and Dong Zhuo and Liu Biao's jealousy of Wang Yu, maybe Cao Cao can pull all the princes of these two roads together to resist Wang Yu's invasion. In this way, things are a big deal.

In this case, as long as Cao Cao and Guo Jia didn't go crazy, they wouldn't rashly contact Zhang Jaw, let alone kidnap the hostages and force him to comply. If they really do that, not only will they not get any benefit, but they will give a big handle to the lord, and eventually they will bring about their own destruction. ”

Wang Yu nodded and agreed with this statement.

The biggest advantage of opening the jaw is to weaken Wang Yu's strength, and if he can fight back at a critical moment, it will be even more ideal. But that was when the two armies were facing each other, if Cao Cao really retreated to avoid the edge of the allies, then the Yanzhou army would distance itself from Qingzhou, let alone respond to the rebels, and even the most basic countermeasures could not be done.

Even if Zhang Jaw really rebelled, at most it would just give Zang Ba a chance to breathe, but Wang Yulai didn't plan to destroy Zang Ba all at once, and Zhang Jaw's rebels could only stay alone in the embattled Langya, starved to death. For Wang Yu, the only loss is the loss of a general.

But he got a lot.

Zhang Jaw rebelled, because he was sorry for Wang Yu, not that Wang Yu was harsh on the rebels, which would not affect the hearts of the people in Hebei, but would enhance the confidence of the Jizhou soldiers in Wang Yu; In addition, to exterminate the rebel generals, Wang Yu also has an excuse to attack Langya, which is more powerful than chasing and killing Zang Ba; Finally, and most crucially, Cao Cao sent a big handle out of thin air, so that Wang Yu could call on all the princes to crusade against him in righteous words.

Who doesn't hate this kind of conspirator who divides someone else's subordinates when he has nothing to do?

If you can, the matter of dividing the royal gate alone is enough to make Gongsun Chan angry and break Liu Yu's body into ten thousand pieces. Tao Qian's Xuzhou suffered even more, if it weren't for Xue Li and Zhenrong being separated and rebelled one after another, Xuzhou would not have been so embarrassed this year.

"The most important thing is that there is no intention or reason for betrayal." In the end, Jia Xu concluded: "On that day, he sent his family to Yanzhou, not with the intention of taking refuge in Cao Cao, Liu Dai was still there at that time, and there was Zhang Miao, Yanzhou's forces were relatively the most mixed, and it was the most suitable for hiding his whereabouts, which was a free arrangement." ”

"I see." Wang Yu's mind is actually quite open-minded, and it is very useful to recruit Zhang Jaw, and the reason why he is suspicious is mainly because of Zhang Jaw's arrangement for his family. Wang Yu couldn't guess what Zhang Jaw was thinking, so he naturally had some doubts. Now that Jia Xu explained it reasonably, this doubt suddenly disappeared.

"This matter is so decided, early tomorrow morning, let Zhang Jaw set off for the south." Wang Yu waved his hand, setting the tone for this military operation, but his brows were still not relaxed, and he muttered in his mouth: "The problem is still Yanzhou, if you can take advantage of this opportunity to make Cao Cao unable to turn over, the time for the world to return to unification will be greatly advanced, but it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

In this era, the biggest opponent is none other than Cao Cao.

Although Liu Bei is also a character, after all, the starting point is too low, and if there is not enough chaos for him to borrow, he can't pounce. If after the Hebei War, Cao Cao was also given a heavy blow, at the stage when Sun Ce had not yet developed and Liu Bei was beaten back to his original form, although there were many princes in the world, who else could resist his edge head-on?

Guo Jia's early departure from the mountain is really not good news.

"Not necessarily." Jia Xu suddenly laughed, and his smile was very mysterious: "Ren that Guo Jiazhi is higher than the sky, just a letter from the lord is enough to make him anxious." ”

"A ...... Epistle? Wang Yu was very dazed, he didn't believe it himself, what letter could have such power?
