Chapter 551 Regenerative Variables
Who is Bianrang?
Yanzhou celebrities, later generations have a saying, he is the fuse that caused the Dongjun incident, because he repeatedly belittled Cao Cao, made Cao Cao angry, angry and killed, as a result, Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and other Yanzhou celebrities were dissatisfied, led Lu Bu into Dongjun, almost made Lao Cao homeless.
In his previous life, Wang Yu's attitude towards this was to let it go, he was not an archaeologist, there was no need to make these details so clear, what is there to study in a dragon set?
But in this life, Bian Rang is not a trick, this person has a good relationship with Cai Yong, he has been recommended by the latter, and he has been very beautiful in the court for a while, and the official is too guarded in Jiujiang. How could such a person be arrogant and ridicule and abuse Cao Cao, the powerful prince who ruled Dongjun?
And not every celebrity is the same as Youheng.
Based on the current information, Bian Rang and Chen Gong are obviously all the way, comrades, and they are both in the same line of the party who have experienced the scourge of the party's failures, and hold the same political views.
He was killed, which means that Chen Gong's conspiracy has been revealed, and Cao Cao is about to take action! This is the reason why Wang Yu was surprised.
Once Cao Cao went to war with Lü Bu, the situation in the Central Plains became complicated.
Qingzhou's joining the war group is likely to lead to a big war that will affect the entire Central Plains, who made Wang Yu the target of the public? Qingzhou's deterrent power is the strongest when it is not moving, and whoever wants to take military action among the princes must first look at Wang Yu's face before speaking, for fear of upsetting him and provoking a strong blow from the six hussar armies.
But once the Qingzhou army fights with a certain prince, it is difficult to predict what actions the princes of all roads will take.
It is possible that the princes will each rush to the target they have long been targeting; It is also possible to join forces and join hands to copy the back road of the Qingzhou army and besiege Wang Yu. No matter how things develop, they will deviate from Wang Yu's momentum. Then divide and disintegrate, each breaking the strategy.
It's a nuisance. Wang Yu frowned.
Although Chen Gongtai has a strategy, but his leadership is average, he failed to integrate the internal ironclad, and when a few stalwarts such as Bian Rang died, the rest were all afraid. Some people lost their sincerity to Cao Cao, and some people secretly communicated with us, and the plan was leaked out. ”
Jia Xu took out a letter from his bosom and unfolded it trembling in the wind. "The current news is five days ago, and it is not yet known what the current situation in Yanzhou is. But there is no doubt about one thing, Guo Fengxiao and Chen Gongtai will definitely take action separately......" he said. He will put faith on his hands.
Wang Yu pondered and did not accept the letter.
Chen Gong has been planning in secret for a long time, Guo Jia doesn't know when to target Bian Rang, the two sides are in direct contact, and their understanding of the situation must be deeper. The incident happened suddenly, and I was separated by a layer, rather than considering taking targeted actions to prevent it. It is better to think about how to deal with the aftermath and prepare for the situation after the change in Yanzhou.
After thinking of several possibilities, but it was difficult to make a decision for a while, Wang Yu raised his eyes and looked at Jia Xu. "And, what do you think?" ”
"I've been thinking about this for a long time, but after all, the information is limited, and I have never been able to understand it......," Jia Xu replied in a deep voice.
As the saying goes, the viewer is clear. The authorities are fascinated, but when something really happens. Or is it that the authorities are more accurate in their judgment of the situation, because the authorities have more information. No matter how powerful the secret agents of the Qingzhou Army are, it is impossible for Cao Jun to have more and more accurate information than Cao Jun after he has realized that there is a problem.
And the two sides wrestling in the dark are not weak, and the final victory or defeat, as well as the direction of the situation, are indeed difficult to predict.
"Finally, I thought about it, if Xu and Guo Jia are in a different place, assuming that Cao Jun's spy power is no worse than my Qingzhou, the situation is likely to evolve into a situation of mutual exchange......"
"Swap?" Wang Yu was slightly stunned, Jia Xu's point of view was beyond his expectations.
"Yes, swap." Jia Xu nodded and explained: "Guo Jia's wisdom and strategy should be higher, but with the help of Cao Jun's strength, and Chen Gong took advantage of the geographical advantage and the convenience of the people, and planned early, therefore, in terms of the situation, the two sides are half a catty and eight taels, and Guo Jia is slightly better." With this advantage alone, Guo Jia wants to win a complete victory, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to ......"
Jia Xu said a little stream of consciousness, but Wang Yu understood it.
For Cao Jun, the best outcome is not to wipe out Yanzhou's opponents, which would easily make Wang Yu take advantage. Swallowing Lu Bu is the most ideal result.
Can't swallow Lu Bu's army, it's not bad to be able to capture Luoyang, Luoyang's prosperity is one thing, the key is that Luoyang's strategic location is too important. As long as he occupied Luoyang, Cao Cao could try to cut off the water transportation of the Yellow River, and even if he didn't want to start a war with the Qingzhou army, he could get a piece of the pie.
More importantly, than the economic benefits, after controlling Luoyang, Cao Cao can confidently and boldly launch a westward strategy.
Mrs. Guo, who escaped from the Battle of Anyi, has now regrouped and made a comeback. But after the great loss of strength, he was unable to form an effective offensive against the Xiliang army, and several invasions were defeated by Li Dao, and now the troops of the Xiliang army have passed Linfen, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's dispersion of the troops, Guo Tai may have fled to Bingzhou now.
Although Cao Cao's troops in Nanyang contained a part of the Xiliang army, the terrain around Wuguan was rugged, and even if Cao Cao defeated Niu Fu and Hu Zhen, he could not take advantage of the situation to attack Guanzhong, and it could not be effectively contained. What's more, the terrain of Wuguan is dangerous, and it is impossible to open it if one man is a pass, even if he guards the waste point, it is not so easy to attack.
In the face of the gutless Niu Fu who couldn't defend it, Cao Cao and Guo Jia had nothing to do. I could only watch Dong Zhuo successively transfer Fan Chou's Flying Bear Army and Guo Yan's elite back to Chang'an to escort them, so that the ministers of Chang'an couldn't find a chance to attack Dong Zhuo at all.
This matter is also a little related to Qingzhou, because of the opening of the trade route, Chang'an's economic crisis has been alleviated, and the resentment of the military and civilians is not as great as before, and it is naturally easier for Dong Zhuo to stabilize it.
Therefore, Luoyang is very important to Cao's army, and only by occupying Luoyang can Cao Cao launch a large-scale offensive against the Xiliang army, contain the strength of the Xiliang army, and create an opportunity for the Chang'an Shishi.
This is also something that can't be helped, the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the strategy of taking advantage of the situation was destroyed by Wang Yu, and Lao Cao wanted to seek Chang'an, so he could only go into battle shirtless. Wang Yu's trick is very boring for onlookers, and the gains outweigh the losses, but for Cao Cao. It's just a knife to the point, and it makes him feel painful.
Although Dongjun is very important, in order to ensure the safety of Dongjun, it is necessary not only to guard against Chen Gong and Lu Bu, but also to guard against the invasion of the Qingzhou army. Cao Cao may not be unable to prevent it, but the result of his doing so is that he is firmly restrained by Wang Yu and cannot develop in other directions.
Wang Yu can afford to wait, but Cao Cao can't afford to wait.
So. Jia Xu said that if he could no longer ensure a complete victory, Guo Jia would probably advise Cao Cao to abandon the car to protect the commander. Abandon the chicken-like East County and concentrate on the westward expansion strategy.
And after Lu Bu occupies Dongjun, it will also play a buffering role. Between Qingzhou and Cao Jun, forming a barrier can be regarded as a win-win strategy.
Mink Chan suddenly asked, "Isn't he worried that his husband will bring up the old matter again and bring Lu Bu under his command?" ”
"Of course, this possibility exists, but because of Chen Gong's move, there is already a rift between the two armies...... Bian Rang died, and someone came to Qingzhou to report the news. Maybe Guo Jia deliberately let it go, let me ask Mrs., if Lu Bu arrives in Dongjun, he will still maintain the original proposal. Do you really feel free that the prince will go to Dongjun for a while? Jia Xu asked rhetorically.
Mink Chan was silent.
Of course, don't worry, now Wang Yu is not the fledgling and famous kid, and he said that he would sneak into Luoyang. Leading the way is the limit. Can you openly go to the enemy's territory? If there is no Chen Palace, there is still room for negotiation. But now...... She sighed softly: "It would be nice if Guo Jia killed Chen Gong together." ”
Jia Xu smiled and didn't speak.
Minchan also knew that this was impossible, if Guo Jia calculated to such an extent, he would not deal with Chen Gong or Zhang Miao no matter what, without these two people, how could Lu Bu make up his mind to leave Luoyang and fight for Dongjun? Without Chen Gong, Wang Yu would be able to renew his relationship with Lu Bu, which would be even more detrimental to Cao Jun.
"If it turns out as expected, the two armies are likely to have already made the move."
Wang Yu didn't make these senseless sighs, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jia Xu's speculation was reasonable. For Cao Jun, this was a result second only to the annexation of Lü Bu's army, and even if Lü Bu's army was finally swallowed by the Qingzhou army, Guo Jia also won the most precious time.
Jia Xu quickly replied: "After receiving the report, Xu sent a letter to Liyang and Chaoge to inquire about the news, and today I came to disturb the lord, also to obtain a warrant, so that Yuan Zhi can act conveniently, use or destroy it." ”
After Wang Yu returned to Gaotang, Liyang City became the camp of the Yulin Army, and the south of the city was not far from the Baimajin Ferry, and after crossing the river, you could drive directly to Puyang. Yanjin in the south of Chaoge City is more important, it is the key to control the exchanges between Dongjun and Luoyang, once it is cut off, it will cut off Lü Bu's eastward road.
With the strength of the Yulin army, if Cao Cao does not send reinforcements, it will be no problem to capture Dongjun, but it is difficult to grasp the proportion, Yu Ban may not be able to complete it well, but Xu Shusu has the ability to change, and he can count on it.
"Let's do it." If you are one step behind, it may not be too late to make amends, but it is better than doing nothing. Wang Yu thought a little gloomily, he really couldn't do it, and he could only take advantage of Lu Bu's unstable foothold and take him down first. It's a pity, if there is no Chen Gong to stir up the situation, a good story can be achieved.
The order was given, and all that remained was to wait.
There is no way, the conditions of this era are like this, so Wang Yu is more willing to lead the army in person. In fact, the news exchange in Qingzhou has been very fast, and the relatively less confidential and less content can be used with carrier pigeons; Along the official road on the north bank of the Yellow River, a complete post station system was also established; Coupled with the shipping on the Yellow River, the message is extremely convenient.
It only took three days for Wei Jun's reply to come, which made Wang Yu and Jia Xu very depressed - Xu Shu was not there, and he went to the party to find Yuan Tan and Gao Gan's bad luck.
Wang Yu's order to Xu Shu was very flexible, as long as he did not use more than 1,000 troops, the latter could judge the situation on his own and take action against Gao and Yuan.
Tired of the enemy and training troops, this is Wang Yu's strategy of merging states.
The rule of Gao Gan in Bingzhou is unstable, and there are endless defeats, not to mention expanding strength, and whether or not they can keep the existing territory are two words. When Wang Yu frees his hand, he doesn't need to mobilize the army, as long as he sends a general and leads a partial division, it is enough to remove the last bit of dregs of Yuan Shao's forces.
Xu Shu is not there, Yu Ban is a very well-behaved person who is a bit rigid in executing orders, and giving him ambiguous orders is irresponsible to the army, so Wang Yu can only watch the changes in Yanzhou.
On the first day of December in the third year of the first peace, Lu Buxing invaded the east, self-commanded elite and state iron cavalry as the Chinese army, with Gao Shun as the vanguard, commanding more than 1,000 troops, called the Destroyer Battalion, driving straight in, soaring 200 miles in three days, Xiahoudun, who stayed in the East County, was intimidated by its momentum, and did not dare to face the battle, and Puyang fought down!
The world is shaking!
On the same day, Cao Cao raised troops from Luyang, with Cao Chun and Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard elite cavalry as the vanguard, followed Wang Yu's old road to Luoyang in the north, passed through Liang County, Yangren, and Xincheng, and drove directly to Yique Pass day and night, only then did he encounter resistance. The Lu Bujun who was in a hurry to meet the battle was caught off guard, and the guard general Hao Meng switched to meet the battle, and was defeated for Ercao.
Cao Cao urged the army to kill later, Zhang Liao, who stayed in Luoyang, only had 3,000 foot soldiers around him, and he was not even satisfied with the city wall.
In this way, the two armies, one active and the other passive, perfectly cooperated, and completed this exchange that attracted the attention of the world.
The pattern of the world, the regeneration of variables!
