If it is said that Gongsun Zhan built a city under the Daqing Mountain, which caused the dying counterattack of the Xianbei people, it is the end of the Youzhou War. Then, these combined vertical and horizontal methods engaged by Wang Yu and Cao Cao are the prelude to the Central Plains War.

In recent months, the intermediate forces such as Gao Gan and Zhang Yang have dealt with the envoys on both sides, and their attitudes have naturally changed along with the evolution of the battle situation on the two battlefields in the northwest. For a while, I was shocked by the mighty achievements of the Qingzhou army, and for a while, I was amazed by Cao Cao's strategic strength, in short, it was difficult to make a final decision.

Cao Cao used his strength to drive the Xiliang army eastward, which not only played the role of an ultimatum for the annexation of the state, but also a deterrent to the Hanoi side.

Although Gao Gan has a temper, Yuan Tan is a noble son born with a golden spoon, he will not really resist to the end, and Zhang Yang's character is already soft, and as he grows older, he has long lost the pride and courage of guarding the country in the past. In the context of the Western Liang Army's eastward expansion, these people will not be biased towards Qingzhou.

However, the so-called people are not as good as the sky, even if Cao Cao wants to break his head, it is impossible to think of it, Wang Yu actually whimsically tossed out a flat northern strategy, and poked a hole in his carefully arranged plan.

The joy of the victory in Guanzhong was swept away, and the solemn atmosphere enveloped the former Prime Minister's Mansion, which was desolate against the background of a mess in the city.

"Gao Gan has really already left?" Cheng Yu's eyebrows were deeply locked, I don't know how many times I repeated the same question.

"It's true!"

Zhong Xuan twisted his long beard in his hand and replied tirelessly: "The so-called Pingbei Policy in Qingzhou, the most exciting thing is that it doesn't ask about the background. Regardless of previous suspicions, as long as you are willing to serve Hanshow as orthodox. You can get the support of Qingzhou and create a new world outside the border gates. Back then, Chu and Han competed for power. Emperor Gao divided the princes, and the delegation of power was very refreshing, so the princes helped each other with all their might, and laid down the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. ”

Long before Cao Cao raised troops to march westward, many people in the Korean sergeant party secretly contacted him. Although at the beginning, Yuan Shao's power was stronger, but Yuan Shao's roots were deep. Some of them are protégés and former officials, and even if these senior officials in the DPRK and Central China take refuge in the past, it will be difficult for them to keep their current positions.

Therefore, Cao Cao, who successively defeated the Black Mountain Thief and Yuan Shu, and dominated Yan and Yu, became the best choice.

Zhong Xuan is a representative figure of the pro-Cao faction in the DPRK and China. In history, after Cao Cao attacked and killed Li Dao and Guo Yan and occupied Guanzhong, I still focused on the Central Plains battlefield and was appointed by Cao Cao to stay in Guanzhong. It was Zhong Xuan who had full authority to handle military and political affairs.

Whether in history or now, Guanzhong is regarded by Cao Cao as a big rear, and he naturally does not have ordinary trust in Zhong Xuan, who is responsible for staying behind. Ability and fame alone are not enough to make the latter rise to this position, the key is to have enough convincing credit.

Relying on the convenience of being in the court. and the depth and breadth of connections, before Cao Cao went west. Most of the intelligence exchanges and private connections are led by Zhong Xuan. Special mentioned: The alliance between Cao Cao and Ma Teng was planned by Zhong Xuan and connected the bridges.

Zhong Xuan's nephew Guo Yuan was appointed by Yuan Shao when he was still in Hedong, and after Yuan Shao's defeat, he had no confidence to go to Hedong to take office, so he had been living under Yuan Tan. Now the information about the annexation of states in Cao's army was also obtained by Zhong Xuan through Guo Yuan.

"Yuan Chang's words are too much, right?" Cheng Yu's face was gloomy, and he was very unimpressed by Zhong Xuan's praise: "Outside the border pass, it is a wild and barren land, called Dingbei, but in fact it is exiled, but Gongsun Zan was saved by Wang Yu, and Gongsun Du was forced by him, so he had to start it, where is there any attraction?" ”

He shook his sleeves and asked with a slight sharp meaning: "Ling's nephew is also in charge of the army in Bingzhou, so I really don't know how to use his identity to explain the pros and cons to Yuan and Gao Score?" ”

Cheng Yu has a strong sense of utilitarianism, and after joining Cao, his original intention is also to strive for the top, who would have thought that it is not enough to have a Guo Jia, and now there is another Zhong Xuan. Although the conclusion has not yet been determined, the situation is very clear, Zhong Xuan will soon have the opportunity to take charge of one party alone, how can Cheng Yu endure it? Therefore, as soon as Cheng Yu gets the opportunity, he will add some blockage and pick a little thorn to this competitor who has come from behind.

In the face of Cheng Yu's aggressiveness, Zhong Xuan seemed very calm, neither justifying himself nor ridiculing each other, and always analyzed the topic of Pingbeice.

"It's not necessarily true to say that it's a barren land, otherwise how would the Hus survive outside the Saiwai? What's more, this time, Qingzhou is not just empty words, on the one hand, in terms of strategic layout, it has the courage to regard the world as a game of chess, which can be described as a commanding height. On the other hand, the preparation in the details is indeed too sufficient. ”

Zhong Xuan sighed, looked at the end of the two classes of civil servants, and said: "We have only heard about it, but Bo Fang has seen it with himself, the scene in the world, Bo Fang must still remember it vividly at this moment, right?" ”

Liang Mao, who was full of tiredness, flashed out of the ranks, and replied with a bitter face: "What Mr. Yuan Chang said is very true, everyone in the world says that the hussar general has the ability to be unpredictable, if you don't see it with your own eyes, Mao doesn't believe it. But at that time, the change in the attitude of the Liaodong Taishou was really ...... Alas! ”

After Gongsun Du met with Wang Yu, Liang Mao submitted his resignation on the way back to Liaodong. Gongsun Du made up his mind to develop forces in the northeast, and naturally he was not in the mood to continue to keep him, so he routinely kept a few words, and saw that he was very determined to go, so he went with him.

Of course, Gongsun Du also asked Liu Yi to report the matter to Wang Yu afterwards, after all, Liang Mao was brought by him to participate in the talks, and he heard a lot of confidential information, how to deal with it, it is always good to let Wang Yu make a decision.

Wang Yu is entangled in all kinds of things, and where does he have the time to deal with such a trivial matter, Liang Mao he doesn't know his name, and he didn't see any amazing skills in the talks, at best, he is just a traditional celebrity, so naturally there is no need to take it to heart.

Although Zhuge Liang reminded him that after Liang Mao returned to the Central Plains, it was possible to take refuge with other princes, but Wang Yu still didn't care. The things mentioned in the negotiation actually don't have much technical content, even if he left Liang Mao, when the second grandson began to popularize it in the whole army, it would be easy to be copied by others, and there was no need to keep it secret.

What's more, the main application environment of these things is in those places with high dimensions, and in the Central Plains, only honeycomb coal is relatively popular, and honeycomb coal is not just a casual listen, can be imitated, what is the point of secrecy?

As far as Wang Yu is concerned, since the Pingbei policy has been implemented, he is not afraid of people knowing, and he hopes that he will have the speed of Internet transmission in later generations, and it will spread to the world all at once. Anyway, his purpose is to give a new way to those princes who are not high and low, to avoid a certain amount of internal friction, the more widely the news is disseminated, the more people discuss, the more advantageous.

Therefore, Liang Mao went all the way to Wei County without any danger, and then traveled westward, and finally arrived at the destination Chang'an when the Qing and You coalition forces were in full swing with the Xianbei coalition army at the foot of Daqing Mountain.

The news he brought is actually not the latest. As early as when Xu Shu began to contact with senior cadres, the new term Pingbeice had already spread in the top echelons of the Bingzhou Army.

The effect is that one stone stirs up a thousand waves, some people are happy and some are worried.

In terms of merging states, Gao Gan was the most moved, and Yuan Tan didn't want to go outside the country to endure hardship, but Gao Gan pulled the messenger from Qingzhou, pointed to Xu Shu's letter, and analyzed the interests of Yuan Tan, and the latter was not so resolute in his opposition.

After persuading Yuan Tan, he left Huguan overnight and went to Wei County with Xu Shu's messenger, if nothing else, he would also go to Youzhou or Gaotang.

Because Gao Gan and Yuan Tan had a secret talk, the specific content is not known to the outside world, even the middle and high-level military only know that Qingzhou has drawn a path for a peaceful settlement and annexation of the state, and everyone does not know the details.

asked Yuan Tan, he was also vague, just muttered to himself, saying things like 'not a bad thing, it's not a way out, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years'.

This news is undoubtedly a blow to Cao Cao, who is in high spirits, and it is also a heavy blow to the old and new courtiers who think that the situation is good and the future is bright. What is more depressing than the shock is that they have no idea what is wrong, how can they make a good deterrence plan, so it is self-defeating and pushes the forces of the state to the side of Qingzhou?

Liang Mao's arrival is very timely in a sense, but after solving the doubts, the mood of Cao Jun and the others will not improve.

Wang Yu's trick seems whimsical and casual, but combined with the cold protection and transportation tools he made, it becomes quite feasible. If it's just like this, the key is that he has persuaded the two major forces in Northern Xinjiang successively, and even the people who ate the first bite of crabs.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and I am not afraid that people will not understand what is new, but I am afraid that there is no person who takes the lead in setting an example.

Now not only there are two in the north, but even Gao Gan is said to be tempted, once the Qingzhou Army effortlessly solves Gao Gan and Yuan Tan, and takes the lead in Bingzhou, it seems that the Xiliang Army, which seems to be huge, maybe, really can't parry a few rounds.

It is true that the Xiliang Army has 300,000 people, but the Xianbei and Wuhuan coalition armies in the Northern Xinjiang War have fewer troops? Didn't you get beaten and your nose and face swollen?

Qianghu is just a bun of the western frontier, and the Xianbei people are the overlords of the grassland! Moreover, Xianbei and Wuhuan are relatively familiar with Youzhou, and there are Xian Yufu and others to respond, and now if Gao Gan takes refuge in Qingzhou, the latter's advantage will be added to the geographical advantage, this battle is really not optimistic.

Zhong Yu praised Wang Yu's Pingbei strategy, and did not forget to pull people to testify, although Cheng Yu was annoyed, he couldn't argue with him on this, so he could only stare at each other angrily, as if he wanted to kill the competitor with his eyes.

Cheng Yu is not unscrupulous, but with personal emotions, it is difficult to think calmly, and he can't hear Zhong Xuan's words at the first time like Cao Cao.

"Yuan Chang seems to have something to say yet?"

"Don't dare." Zhong Miao bowed his hand, but he smiled and didn't answer, and his eyes looked at the sides inadvertently, as if he had a deep meaning.

Cao Cao was so shrewd, he immediately understood, waved his hand, retreated left and right, leaving only a few henchmen, and began to discuss secretly......)
