Chapter 414
Liu He surrendered Lejiu, ordered him to earn Pingyu, the ruling place in Runan, and led his own troops to occupy Changping, which was only a hundred miles away from Yuan Shu in Wuping.
The size of the prefectures and counties in the Han Dynasty was different, especially Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou in the Central Plains were the smallest, and the land of a state was not even as large as that of a county in other places. Less, but the distance is not that far.
When the troops gathered in Changping, Guo Jia said: "If Yuan Shu is defeated after hearing this, he will not dare to stalemate with Lu Bu anymore. He will abandon Chen and retreat to Runan. If the general enters Chen County, his next opponent will be Lu Bu. "
Liu He nodded slightly, frowned and said: "Lü Bu is brave but not clever. Guo Tu, Xin Ping and his like are not to be feared. He also took credit for killing Dong Zhuo. Can he be persuaded to surrender and be included in the court?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Lü Bu is an unruly man, and he uses martial arts to show off his abilities. If he wants to subdue this person, he must first use force to deter him. If martial arts can't suppress this person, although he surrenders due to the situation, if he refuses to accept it, there will be chaos in the long run. .”
Xun You sighed: "Lu Fengxian was really a hero for a while, but it's a pity that he was brave but not scheming. Just like taming animals, first make them intimidating, and then teach them to tame them.”
Liu He nodded silently. Lu Bu's martial arts are too strong, no one can suppress him, so he is naturally rebellious and unruly. He thinks that everyone is inferior to him, so how can he be willing to obey his orders, but judging from his submission to Dong Zhuo, he is also like a person relying on strength It's time to subdue this tiger after making great achievements.
Thinking of this, Liu He immediately ordered Wang Ling to lead troops to take Chen County, and transferred Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to Chen State to prepare for a battle with Lu Bu.
In history, Lu Bu had the help of Chen Gong, so he reluctantly fought against Cao Cao, and he refused to listen to his plans many times, leading to retreat to Xuzhou. Today, Lu Bu is not as strong as before. Without Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, he lacks counselors to help him. A fierce tiger with incomplete claws and claws is not difficult to deal with.
When he was dispatching troops and generals, he suddenly came to Ma to report that Sun Jian had transported [-] carts of money and food from Jiangdong to Jiangxia and was seized by Huang Zu.
Liu He shook his head when he heard the news and said with a smile: "Sun Jian pacified Jiangdong, and he was worried that he had no excuse to send troops. Huang Zu is really good. It seems that the fate with the Sun family cannot be avoided."
Guo Jia sneered and said, "Sun Jian transported money and food to Luoyang. From Chaisang to Nanyang, he could have gone to Hanjin, but he chose to go to Xiakou from Chibi. How could it be a plan?"
Liu He's heart moved, and he said: "Fengxiao means that Sun Jian deliberately transported money and food through Jiangxia, and asked Huang Zu to intercept it, just in time to send troops to attack Xiakou?"
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Sun Jian has captured the Lujiang River. If he can take Xiakou and occupy Jiangxia, he can confront Chaisang from north to south, control the river and land, retreat to guard against Jingzhou's soldiers, and advance to wait for an opportunity to take Jingzhou. This is a rainy day!"
"It's a good idea to prepare for a rainy day!" Liu He squinted his eyes slightly and murmured: "Is this Zhou Yu's plan or Lu Su's plan?"
Guo Jia said: "Duke Zhou Jin has both civil and military skills, and has a great talent. This strategy may have come from Lu Su, but the money and food plan must have come from Zhou Yu. Seeing that Huainan was occupied by Cao Cao, he could not compete with him in land warfare, so he wanted to take water. Divide the world."
Xun You nodded and said: "Sun Jian led Jiangdong to seek Jingzhou. Jingzhou is the hometown of Chu. In the past, Chu could compete with Qin with the danger of rivers and Han mountains and rivers. If Sun Jian occupied the land of Wu and Chu, the strength of the three rivers and the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River would be enough to sit on the throne." Watch the changes and wait for the opportunity to take action.”
"Liu Zhennan has no ambitions in all directions, he's just sitting on the sidelines. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the might of the tigers in the east of the river!"
Liu He suddenly remembered Lu Su's earliest "Jiangdong confrontation", the third division of the world planned for Sun Quan, which was to occupy Jingzhou, draw the river to rule, then plot Yizhou, and finally fight the northern Cao army.
Seeing that Liu He was worried, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Sun Wentai is known as a loyal warrior, but this man will take the lead in every battle. He fought Dong Zhuo before and was almost wiped out. Although Liu Biao is the leader, how can Jingzhou be incompetent and good generals?" It is expected that the Sun family will suffer setbacks in their plan for Jingzhou, which will cause the two tigers to fight each other. If the general can pacify the Central Plains as soon as possible and send his troops to the south, Liu Biao will be difficult to defeat the Sun family at that time. , Liu Biao will surrender Jingzhou."
"Feng Xiao's words made me suddenly enlightened!" Liu He's eyes lit up. When two tigers fight, there must be an injury, and he can clean up the mess when the time comes.
Now it’s really time for Sun Jian and the others to beat Liu Biao hard and make him fearful. When the time comes, he will lead the troops to take it down. The situation in Jingzhou is basically similar to that in history. Will weigh the pros and cons.
Xun You said: "In this case, why doesn't the general petition your majesty to denounce Huang Zu for plundering money and food to build the ancestral temple, which is no different from rebellion? You can order Sun Jian to send troops to conquer, make his name righteous, and send an edict to Liu Biao. Blame him for his lack of power in order to show the power of the court, and order him to compensate money and food from Jingzhou to make amends."
"Haha, Gongda's plan is very suitable to my liking!" Liu He beamed when he heard this. Blackmail was a pleasant thing to hear.
Liu He immediately ordered someone to report to Xun Yu, asking him to report to the emperor to issue an edict to make Sun Jian's teacher famous, and it happened to beat Liu Biao to pave the way for future military use.
Liu He didn't intend to drive Yuan Shu to extinction. Although he hijacked the angel and used Jie Yue without permission, he was not arrogant enough to call himself emperor after all, so he was given a chance to choose the ending again.
Not a day later, when Yuan Shu heard about Le, Yuan Shu was defeated. Liu He entered Chen State, knowing that the situation was over, he withdrew from Wuping overnight and retreated to Runan. Temporarily settled in Gushi, lingering.
Yuan Shu at this time was similar to Liu Bei in Yuzhou back then, except that Liu Bei's three top generals, Zhang and Zhao, were able to fight all the way to Jingzhou, while Yuan Shu's generals were beheaded by Lu Bu. After losing several people, he almost became a polished commander, like a fallen phoenix, unable to jump up and down.
Yuan Shu failed to send troops and retreated in embarrassment. The north of Chen State became an unclaimed land. Liu He immediately took the opportunity to dispatch and sent a message to recover various parts of Chen State. He ordered Ma Chao to be the vanguard and march directly to Wuping to prevent Lu Bu from going south.
At this time, the people in the Central Plains already knew that Hebei's policy was very tolerant, and they distributed land and exempted them from taxes.
Liu He ordered Cheng Yu to dispatch the rear, not to worry about Yuan Yin in Xu County, and divide the troops to collect other places, and make a list to calm the people, so as to ensure that there will be no problems with this year's autumn harvest. Yuzhou has been plagued by locusts for a year, and there will be famine if the harvest fails.
Liu He was still worried about Ma Chao's fight against Lu Bu. After all, Ma Chao was only 20 years old, far from reaching the peak of his military power. It might be dangerous to fight against Lu Bu, who was in his prime, and then he ordered Zhang Fei to go to meet him.
