Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1233 Great cause is important

  Communication and transportation are always two huge shackles hanging on the neck of the empire.

Except for those mythical characters who fly ninety thousand miles across the world and can see all directions with a single thought, any ordinary person is at a disadvantage when faced with the long distances and complicated land conditions. Under the circumstances, even if he is the emperor of the empire, it is still the case.

   Having said that, if one day the gods in the myths really come to this world, then these gods will still follow the concept of ordinary people and fight for the so-called mortal lump of soil, even at the expense of life and death? Isn't that the same as a farmer in the country speculating that the emperor and his wife in the palace must be plowing the fields with a golden hoe, pushing a silver plowshare, and eating pancakes and green onions every day?

   And Yang Biao is not a god, not even a second-rate general.

  So when Fei Qian said that he wanted to use Tongguan as a replacement, Yang Biao immediately became confused.

   This incident was beyond Yang Biao's expectation.

  Yang Biao is not the first time to come to Tongguan, but he feels that Tongguan is like a shackle on his neck, making him unable to breathe smoothly.

  Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, turned out to be a fake death!

  How can there be such a cunning, no, such a shameless person!

  Yang Biao even remembered that when he received the letter from Zhengxi General Fei Qian, his hands trembled almost uncontrollably, and it took him a long time to barely control his emotions so as not to explode on the spot.

Although the inside and outside of Tongguan had been cleaned up before Yang Biao entered the pass, and it was no longer the smelly and stinky corpses everywhere, but even if there is no such smell now, in Yang Biao's heart, he still has a feeling of saying no to Tongguan. Out of disgust.

Before that, because of a plague, whole batches of soldiers and horses were killed or injured, and many soldiers and horses were damaged for no reason. Then Huangfu Song lost them first, and then Zhu Jun also died, causing the rest of Yang Biao's men to die. There are no generals to lead the soldiers and horses!

  If Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were still alive, how could I be in such a mess!

  The current situation has changed drastically, and there is no one to discuss with. If the former army loses, then the original plan is meaningless, and it can only change the target of the battle immediately.

Yang Jun was captured, and Hu Chuquan was obviously unable to support himself. Even if he escaped from the sky, it might not be a big situation, let alone go south to fight against General Zhengxi's strong force, so no matter from which point of view Now, the competition for the territory in Guanzhong has lost its original meaning, and now the only thing left is to merge with Beipingyang.

  If Yang Bing and Beiping Yang can be in chaos for a while, or if they have the opportunity to mobilize this part of the army located in Guanzhong Feiqian, then there will be new opportunities for Yang Biao!

  Therefore, the replacement matter can only be temporarily pressed.

   Wait a few more days?

   Let's take a look and see how the situation in Beipingyang has changed?

   Or, is there any other force that can be united to deal with this increasingly large and increasingly difficult to deal with General Fei Qian?

  The sun was heading westward, and the sky was gradually getting dark. Yang Biao supported the table with both hands, and did not move for a long time, like a wooden statue of a god. Only his eyes were still shining in the darkness, thinking...

  ………………

  Yuan Shao was very happy, even a little excited. Because his current biggest opponent, Gongsun Zan, is still in the sunset, and under his siege, he is showing more and more decadent posture. Seeing that he is about to fall into the abyss, he needs to push him with the last strength up.

   "Zhengnan's strategy is really extraordinary! Now Gongsun Xiaoer is just waiting to die!"

  Yuan Shao smiled and praised the trial, full of praise for the divorce strategy he proposed before.

   To use the power of Jizhou to fight against Gongsun Zan, it is natural to borrow the power of the gentry of Jizhou. Therefore, Yuan Shao is now very lenient to the trial and assignment of a group of people, and the corporal of the virtuous can naturally play well.

  The examiner smiled slightly, bowed his hands to Yuan Shao, and was humble, but his expression was very proud, he squinted his eyes, and glanced at the people sitting beside him, obviously very proud.

  The problem of information lag and transmission was actually a common phenomenon throughout the Han Dynasty, and Gongsun Zan was no exception.

  The anti-intimidation strategy against Gongsun Zan seems to be miraculous, but it is actually very simple. To put it simply, it is to constantly pretend to be the subordinates assigned by Gongsun Zan in various places, and pass the news of asking for help to Yijing. For Gongsun Zan who does not have any administrative system at all, this extremely simple writing does not even have a identifiable method. No…

   Killing Liu Yu was a pleasure for a while, but the consequences that followed were indeed unbearable for Gongsun Zan. After Liu Yu's death, there was indeed no one who could restrain Gongsun Zan, but Gongsun Zan also lost the relatively complete structure of civil servants in Youzhou, which led to Yuan Shao's overall backwardness in people's livelihood and political affairs, and was assigned a simple It can no longer be a simple strategy, and it is overwhelmed and unable to distinguish. Messages calling for help are everywhere, and it seems that there are flames of war everywhere, so that Gongsun Zan can't tell the truth from the fake, so it's impossible to talk about sending troops to rescue. In the end, the places that were actually attacked by Yuan Shao also couldn't get rescue.

In addition, the trial and distribution also publicized that Gongsun Zan wanted to drive out all of Liu Yu's subordinates. In the end, Liu Yu's old department, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou and others, who were originally Youzhou Mu, elected Yan Rou as Wuhuan Sima , and then with the help of Wuhuan and other Hu people who had received Liu Yu's favor, they began to show their chariots and horses against Gongsun Zan who killed Liu Yu, and fought against Gongsun Zan's general Zou Dan in the north of the Lu River, smashing his army, beheading Zou Dan and other four More than a thousand people...

  Under a series of blows, Gongsun Zan naturally walked towards the doomsday more and more.

Perhaps in the eyes of Tai Shici and others, Gongsun Zan became more and more withdrawn, and seemed to have begun to abandon the loyal subordinates who followed him, but to Gongsun Zan, the lack of political points, although he was a little suspicious of the trial strategy , but unable to verify, he could only watch his subordinates alienate him more and more.

   Obviously, the judge thinks that he has made great contributions to this matter.

  The smug expression of the examiner fell in Yuan Shao's eyes, and Yuan Shao didn't take it seriously, but was even more joyful.

  In Yuan Shao's mind, it was right for his subordinates to crush and fight each other. If there were no fights among his subordinates, then these subordinates would inevitably climb over him one day. The Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Jizhou factions may join the Youzhou faction in the future. After all, one side should not be too inflated, and it must be controlled within a reasonable range in order to be beneficial to one's own jurisdiction and rule.

   This point was learned by Yuan Shao from his uncle.

  Everything in the world needs balance, even above the court, and even more so when controlling one side.

  Harmony of yin and yang is the right way.

  So Yuan Shao smiled and turned to Tian Feng to ask about the resumption of production in Jizhou and the strengthening of commerce and trade, and expressed his affirmation and appreciation for Tian Feng's work in this area.

   Naturally, food and grass are needed to fight a war. Even if Yuan Shao intends to completely sweep Gongsun Zan off the stage of competition, he still needs to accumulate some food and grass.

In the past two years, Jizhou has already tossed a lot of old foundations. Although it is not as empty as Sili, but because of continuous wars, not only have to pay taxes, but also be arrested for hard labor, or even directly taken into captivity. There are also many soldiers who walk as soldiers, so the population of Jizhou people has dropped sharply in many townships and counties, and some places have become barren, which was unimaginable before.

  In addition to the previous locust plague, although the main outbreak point was in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Jizhou was also somewhat affected. Therefore, although Yuan Shao was eager to attack Gongsun Zan, he had to settle down first and accumulate strength.

Seeing Yuan Shao's high interest, although Guo Tufengji and others were a little displeased with the successful appearance of the judge, especially Feng Ji, who was at odds with the judge in the first place, felt that the judge's appearance was an eyesore at the moment, but also It's not easy to refute directly, I can only lower my eyebrows and stroke my beard, as if out of sight and out of mind.

  Guo Tu pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Duke Ming, do you know that the Sili Yang family is raising troops to the west again?"

  Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and said: "The Yang family has raised troops again? This is... If you have any news from Gongze, you might as well speak up..."

  Guo Tu cupped his hands slowly, but did not answer immediately, but took advantage of the cover of his sleeves to quickly turn his head and take a look at Tian Feng.

  Tian Feng's eyebrows moved slightly, with some understanding.

"Duke Ming, since the Yang family welcomed the emperor in Luo, they often pretended to be the emperor's will and wanted to coerce the world..." Guo Tu said, "Now that the Yang family is leading the army to the west, there is a change in a certain suspicious pass, which makes people inquire. It is known that Fei, the general who conquered the west, is rumored to have died..."

   "Huh?" Yuan Shao almost stood up when he heard the words, "Is this true?"

"So that's how it is!" Tian Feng said, "Yang's must have noticed that Zhengxi was dead, so he rushed to take Guan Zhong'er...Ming Gong, take this opportunity, why not send a general out of Hanoi, go down to Sili, and welcome the emperor back to Hebei...If Otherwise, after the Yang family has taken Guanzhong, cultivated with Sili, and has the supply of grain and grass from the east and the north, then the great cause of Duke Ming..."

  Yuan Shao frowned deeply.

  Tian Feng had advised Yuan Shao to welcome the emperor into Jizhou before, but Yuan Shao finally vetoed it, but now Yuan Shao has gradually realized the disadvantages of being controlled by others.

  But when Tian Feng talked about welcoming the emperor again, Yuan Shao was still a little unhappy.

Although it is possible that the Yang family, like Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others, once again emptied the emperor and forced the emperor to order the princes, but Yuan Shao didn't care too much. Anyway, it was not once or twice that he resisted the order of the emperor before, although it was during Dong Zhuo's time , but how much difference will there be in Yang's family? It's still just listening if you want to listen, and not listening if you don't want to listen.

  Guo Tu also frowned. What he originally thought about Tian Feng was that he wanted to take advantage of this matter to pull Yuan Shao out of the aspect of focusing on trial and matching, and at the same time show that although he didn't make any outstanding contributions on the northern line, he was very important to the people on the southern line. The work is still very effective, but I didn't expect that Tian Feng, an old stubborn, would pull back the proposal of welcoming the emperor that was originally vetoed by Yuan Shao...

  If Yuan Shao is really willing to welcome the emperor, do you still need Tian Feng to babble so many times?

As a counselor who followed Yuan Shao earlier, Feng Ji knew Yuan Shao's character well, and when he saw Yuan Shao frown, he immediately understood. There is some conflict, but after all, it is also a neighboring county with Guo Tu. In a big way, it can be regarded as the southern faction. Therefore, seeing that Guo Tu intends to pull Yuan Shao out of the place where he praised the northern faction, he cooperated with it. Said: "Minggong, Yang's marching into Guanzhong this time, don't take it lightly! Just as Gongze and Yuan Hao worried, if the Guanzhong Si Li River and the north are connected into one piece, it will require people, people, food and food. With the name of the Son of Heaven in hand, we will be in danger...according to someone's opinion..."

"According to someone's opinion..." Feng Ji praised Guo Tu Tianfeng, while successfully attracting Yuan Shao's attention, and then said, "You can order the general to sideline the army, enter Zhongmu, go to Taihang, and take Taiyuan Shang first. The party, and then it is desirable to merge with the north! If the Yang family takes Guanzhong, Minggong can also control the south from the north, so there will be no danger."

Guo Tu glanced at Feng Ji, then nodded, and said, "Duke Ming, what Yuan Tu said is true. Even if the Yang family takes Guanzhong, they will need to stabilize the three assistants in a short time, and they will not be able to conquer the North, so If you send troops to Shangdang in Taiyuan, you can take Duantong Pass in the east of the river in the south, go to the west and take Pingyang in the north, and connect Hanoi in the east to control Yanzhou.

  Tian Feng opened his mouth, then sighed slightly, and stopped talking.

  Yuan Shao frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "...Meng De is going to ask for help from a certain... this force, if you want to allocate it... um... there will be no surplus..."

Cao Cao and Lu Bu are currently in the tug-of-war in Yanzhou, each winning or losing. Although Cao Cao regained some territory, a locust plague in Yanzhou and Qingzhou made Cao Cao unable to counterattack, so he had to hug Yuan Shao's thigh again, trying to borrow some soldiers and food Come and destroy Lu Bu.

Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's younger brother, and everyone knows this relationship well, so everyone looked left and right, and no one said anything to make Yuan Shao not send troops to support Cao Cao. Although the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is close, but in case The relationship is good again, and it is suggested not to send troops at this time. If it is investigated in the future, wouldn't it be a **** on his head?

  Yuan Shao looked around and saw that everyone was silent, so he knew something in his heart, but how could he succeed without giving advice?

So Yuan Shao called by name: "Yuan Hao, what do you think?" Why did you ask Tian Feng, because although Tian Feng's words are sometimes not very pleasant, Yuan Shao also knows that if you ask him, he will definitely tell the truth, not What kind of discount is given because of selfishness.

  Tian Feng had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "This... Minggong, you need to focus on the great cause..."

   "Daye? Hmm..." Yuan Shao nodded, thinking.
