If possible, Wang Yu hopes that Liu Yan can be more sensible and more similar to his incompetent son Liu Zhang, so that he can save a lot of time.
" However, since Liu Yan has no self-awareness, he has no intention of being verbose. If he wants to fight, he will just fight.
He left a lot of nobles outside just to arrange the attack on Sichuan.
"Now that Xun Wenruo has arrived, Jingzhou is no longer a problem. I think we can select a group from the Cai and Kuai families, or Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu, and go up the river to form a two-sided attack with the Guanzhong Army."
"Them? That's not possible." Tai Shici was very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's proposal, "Liu Biao's fellow was shouting for joy earlier, because he was asking for rebellion and because of his righteousness. In fact, it was just to divert trouble to the east and make Cao Cao ignore it. Get on top of him and wait for a big fight, he'll just be fishing in troubled waters, and the dead fish will turn over!"
He said angrily: "If he really wanted to help, why would he have gone so far? Even if it was to help contain the Jingzhou soldiers when they went north? If Cao Cao hadn't transferred the Jingzhou soldiers to Nanyang, he would have dared to be so relieved Do you dare to cross the river to surround Xiu Wu?"
"That being said, but" Zhuge Liang stopped talking.
"Nothing but what?" Taishi Ci stared at Zhuge Liang closely.
"Hey, I'm talking about General Ziyi, isn't this obvious?" Zhuge Liang was so stared at that he was so nervous. When he turned to look at Wang Yu, he found that this lord was also someone who was not afraid of big things. He held his chin in one hand. The smile on his face was all about watching the fun. He could only sigh to himself that he was not a kind person, and spread his hands with a wry smile.
"In this case, Liang is not afraid to speak clearly. Liu Jingsheng and his group are different from the existing five princes. First of all, they have not had much dealings with the lord before, and they have no deep understanding of the strength of our hussars. I understand. He is also very ambitious. If we follow the precedent, there is no guarantee that things will not change in the future. In addition, Liu Jingsheng¡¯s identity is also a problem"
Tai Shici frowned and stared at Zhuge Liang for a moment, then turned to look at Wang Yu with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Since we have such worries, wouldn't it be better to just pacify Liu Biao directly?"
"What should I say" Zhuge Liang was troubled by him, so he simply told the truth: "It's better to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger and make both sides suffer, than to reject it directly? At least it will not affect the lord's reputation of benevolence and righteousness!" Said. He turned to Wang Yu and put the fire on him: "My lord, you think so too, right? Otherwise, why did you order General Wenze not to advance?"
"Then you are wrong." Wang Yu spread his hands with an innocent expression on his face: "I ordered Wenze to postpone the advance of the army, just because the rainy season is coming soon, and there are many rivers in Jingzhou. If Cao Cao comes, we will be destroyed. If the water floods the Seventh Army, it will be fatal. Therefore, my order was not to leave room for Cao Cao to deal with Liu Biao."
"" Zhuge Liang was stunned. He really didn't expect that there was such a meaning in that military order.
With his intelligence. Of course, it is impossible not to think of water attack. However, he had lived in Jingzhou for many years, and his teachers and friends were all from Jingxiang. He is half a Jingzhou person, even if he thinks of this trick, he will kill everyone. I will also subconsciously ignore the past. Of course, Wang Yu, who had the foresight to do so, did not think thoroughly, so it is not surprising that there is such a misunderstanding.
"With Cao Cao's talent and courage, he may not make such a move, but when planning on the battlefield, it is always necessary to be prepared for any danger." Wang Yu said softly.
Historically, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, which seemed impressive, but was actually a huge failure. Liu Bei's forces in Jingzhou are originally from outside the country, and they don't have much mass base. It's too late to win people's hearts, so why do they dare to use the tactic of exterminating households?
This flood doesn't matter, Guan Yu's already unstable mass base in Jingzhou plummeted again, directly turning into a negative number. Therefore, when Jiangdong's army crossed the river to attack, most of Nanjun surrendered, leaving Guan Yu alone in Xiangyang.
In this era, the princes are just powerful in front of the stage, and the aristocratic families are the real masters. If this were not the case, how could Cao Cao and his son, who were so shrewd and powerful, not suppress Sima Yi?
The reason why Guan Yu lost Jingzhou was not because of his diplomatic strategy, but because he was equally arrogant at home, completely offending the nobles in Nanjun who were attached to Liu Bei without even realizing it.
In fact, such examples can be found in later generations. In the early Five Dynasties, Liang Emperor Zhu Wen, Liang General Xie Yanzhang, and Duan Ning successively dug levees of the Yellow River in Huazhou, Yangliu, and Suanzao, although they all achieved tactical victories. , but Zhu Liang's power soon perished.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Chairman of the Generalissimo also did the same thing at Huayuankou. He also achieved a temporary victory but lost the hearts of the people, leading to a final total collapse.
Honestly speaking, Wang Yu felt that Cao Cao would not be so short-sighted, but he was driven into a hurry and ignored everything.A desperate attempt was also possible, so he still adopted a cautious strategy. Anyway, it only takes two or three months. As long as the rainy season is over, even if Cao Cao does burst the embankment, it will not cause much harm.
"Anyway, Kong Ming, don't think too much. I can handle Liu Biao myself, but Ziyi. Do you really want to go to Guanzhong with Wen Chang and Xun Yi?"
"Cao Cao has surrendered. There is no rush to attack Jiangdong. Moreover, the cavalry cannot be used in Jiangdong. Why not go join in the fun with Wen Chang and the others." Taishi Ci touched the back of his head and laughed naively: " Speaking of which, although this world is huge, most of the people who have followed your lord in your conquests in the past few years have left, and I have heard the name of the land of Bashu for a long time."
"Actually, over there in Jiangdong" Wang Yu originally wanted to tell Tai Shici that the main force in the Jiangdong strategy would be the navy, but then he thought about it. Gan Ning had just made a great achievement and was very interested in showing off his skills. If a meritorious general is put in, the command will be a bit troublesome, so we might as well just follow Tai Shici's wishes.
"Speaking of which, Ziyi, you haven't thought of this for a long time, have you?" Wang Yu thought about it again and realized something was wrong. When he looked at Taishi Ci again, his eyes were completely different.
"What section are you thinking of? Lord, why can't I understand what you are saying?" Tai Shici tried his best to look confused, but it looked like he was pretending.
"You" Wang Yu pointed to his beloved general, feeling a little helpless, but mostly happy.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Taishi Ci, who only wanted to be happy in his heart and didn¡¯t strive for fame or fortune, was indeed that short-lived flash in the pan in history, who could only shine under his own hands.
Wang Yu thought about how to compensate his beloved general. After thinking for a moment, he really remembered something: "Well, it's a good thing for you to go to Yizhou anyway. Ziyi, do you remember what I promised you?" ?¡±
"What did you promise me?" Taishi Ci's eyes widened as he tried to recall. Others in the palace were also curious and focused their gazes. Suddenly, Taishi Ci slapped his thigh fiercely and said with great surprise: "Could it be that one?"
Wang Yu nodded affirmatively: "Well, that's the one."
"Lord, I knew you would never forget me!" Taishi Ci was so grateful that he almost burst into tears and hugged his thighs, "Then"
"Come on, come on, come on, Ziyi, come forward." Wang Yu waved his hand seriously, and when Tai Shici couldn't help but move closer, he whispered in the latter's ear.
Taishi Ci was beaming when he heard that. After Wang Yu finished speaking, he couldn't wait to salute and say goodbye: "Then my lord, the general is leaving now? Well, is it okay to send troops today?"
"Go, go." Wang Yu waved his hand, and Taishi Ci jumped out like an arrow. A series of exclamations sounded outside the palace. Obviously many people were frightened.
Everyone in the palace also looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Jia Xu spoke on behalf of everyone: "My lord, that's not what you were telling General Ziyi about, right?"
"Wen He is really quick to see things." Wang Yu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
"I wonder which lady is this?" Jia Xu asked again.
"Don't say it, don't say it. If you say it, it won't be effective." Wang Yu suddenly pretended to be secretive, but he was snickering in his heart.
Who else could it be? Besides the female chief of the Zhu Rong tribe, who else could be more in line with Tai Shi Ci's expectations? A true arrogant queen, she is the only one in the world. I am afraid that Zi Yixiao will not be able to bear it, but I am not afraid that he will not like her.
As for the battle to attack Yizhou, Wang Yu didn't take it to heart at all. The resourceful Xu Shu took charge of the overall situation, and was assisted by Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong who were good at mountain warfare and ambushes. In addition, after merging with the trapped camp, Hidden's strength increased greatly. It would be unreasonable if such a combination of Wu Jun and three powerful generals could not defeat Liu Yan.
