Looking at the army under his command, Fazheng felt helpless. If there were more cavalry, they could attack today and reach Shouchun tomorrow, and their combat effectiveness would be guaranteed. Unfortunately, Mount Tai is not suitable for building a horse farm, nor is it a place where wild horses can survive. ¡ò
As for buying horses, that¡¯s all. No matter how much you want, it¡¯s impossible to buy more. Yuan Shao has almost curbed the horse trade in the entire north, making it difficult for this strategic material to appear south of the Bingzhou and Jizhou lines.
??Further south, except for Yuan Shu who has some horses, others like Liu Biao can only equip the generals with one horse. Wanting a cavalry team is just a dream.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no horses in the south, it just means that the horses in the south are not suitable for riding. They are fine for dragging things, but they are useless for fighting.
After quickly dividing his soldiers into teams, Fazheng said little else. Gan Ning directly led the army, with him as the military advisor, and rushed to Huainan, where Yuan Shu's current headquarters, Shouchun, was located.
When Fazheng led his troops to Shouchun, there were already some rumors about Liu Bei attacking Yuan Shu in Shouchun.
Although Fa Zheng has cut off most of the inns and implemented military control in the rear, there are still some rumors. However, it is a pity that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Jin are currently in a state of internal integration and have no chance to contact the lower levels. gossip.
In addition, most of these rumors are spread in the market, and no aristocratic family has come forward to prove it. In fact, there is no problem with the intelligence network of the aristocratic family. At most, it can only be said that the transmission channel has been dismantled, so the news that reaches Shouchun is basically It has become a situation where everyone is following what others say, and there is no way to be sure.
As for the Yuan family, they did receive relevant rumors, but they didn¡¯t take them seriously at all. After all, they knew about the civil strife in Qingxu and Liu Bei had no time for him to attack Xuzhou. Otherwise, it would be based on Liu Bei's current strength. They don't have the guts to tease either.
"Tzuyu, you should also take a rest." Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Jin, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said. Until now, he had to admit that although Zhuge Jin was not the best in the world in terms of qualifications and abilities, the combination of the whole person was absolutely perfect. He is the most suitable character for the current situation.
"After we finish dealing with these, we are talking about rest." Zhuge Jin smiled at Zhou Yu and squinted his eyes to cheer himself up.
Zhou Yu reached for the teacup and teapot and poured Zhuge Jin a cup of strong tea. He said nothing more and just followed Zhuge Jin to continue handling Yuzhou's government affairs.
Speaking of which, they just want to understand something and be prepared to figure it out in the future. There is no need to be so tired. Unfortunately, both of them are people with a long-term vision. Even if they don't want to open the situation in one breath like Taishan did, they still have to prepare Yuzhou, which has been hard to recover from, to be reborn from the ashes.
"Actually, our best choice now is to transfer the internal conflicts to the outside." Zhuge Jin swallowed the entire cup of strong tea with the tea leaves in one gulp, and said to Zhou Yu with his eyes closed.
"This is why I agreed to the Yuan family's attack on Xuzhou." Zhou Yu said slightly haggardly. Sun Ce's men can handle these matters, and if Zhou Yu can rest assured, they are the only two who are still in Shouchun. , others have always had trouble using it with Zhou Yu.
"I have personally been to Mount Tai. I understand what kind of power that place contains. Xuzhou is also where I have lived for a long time. It is true that there are many aristocratic families there as the elder Yuan family said. I also heard about Li Wenyou's strategy." Zhuge Jin did not open his eyes. He said with a dull expression, it was obvious that he was tired and no longer wanted to make any expression.
"You don't think it's appropriate." Zhou Yu took over the conversation without waiting for Zhuge Jin to finish.
"It's not inappropriate, even if it's a defeat. It's better than an internal conflict breaking out, but I just don't think it's necessary." Zhuge Jin also understood the reason why Zhou Yu agreed to the Yuan family's old actions. But understanding is understanding, and it is a pity that it should still be a pity.
"Yangzhou is locked inside by us. One step earlier and one step later is not a big problem. As you said, at least we have passed the conflict on. To be honest, I don't quite believe in the judgment of the Yuan family elder." Zhou Yu opened his eyes A fine line passed between his eyes.
"Li Wenyou can sit in Xuzhou. Neither Liu Xuande nor Chen Zichuan are fools. There are too many tricks here. Not to mention Chen Zichuan, Liu Xuande is impeccable in knowing and employing people." Zhuge Jin didn't even open his eyes. He opened his mouth and said that he spoke very highly of Liu Bei.
"Yes, it is difficult for anyone to surpass him in knowing and employing people, but if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in a high position today." Zhou Yu suddenly smiled and said, "I bet our army will be defeated."
"It's really dirty politics. For the sake of the stability of the situation and future development, tens of thousands of soldiers were abandoned." Zhuge Jin slowly opened his eyes and stared at Zhou Yu with bloodshot eyes, "It's really dirty. ¡±
"not yetThere will be no chance of victory. "Zhou Yu was silent, and after a long time he said, "If Bo Fu were here, he would definitely not allow me to act like this. If it were him, he would definitely choose to fight his way out. "
"If it's tough, it's easy to break. If it's dirty, it's dirty. At least we can ensure that this kind of thing won't happen in the future." Zhuge Jin suddenly said with a smile, "We'd better talk about how to attack Yangzhou."
"Hahaha, we may not be defeated. Although we both know that Xuzhou has Li Wenyou's plan, a hundred thousand troops cannot be eaten by just saying "eat". Xuzhou only has one Zhang Fei army." Zhou Yu suddenly said. Zhuan smiled and said, "No matter how many calculations you make, it is still a joke if you can't use the troops to operate."
"Winning will be even more troublesome." Zhuge Jin looked at Zhou Yu with a rare look of ridicule on his face.
"That's why I call it dirty politics." Zhou Yu said with a smile, "I have transferred my navy back to Shouchun, and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River have been completely liberalized. I have given Liu Jingsheng the capital to give it a try. If If he doesn¡¯t use Jing Nan¡¯s remaining strength at this time, I can only say that he will not wait until the deadline is overdue!¡±
"He will. It's okay if Liu Jingsheng is obsessed with wine and sex, but after he has washed away his reputation, he will definitely have the courage to fight back to the death and gamble on a chance of survival. There is no need to worry about this." Zhuge Jin smiled. Said, "I'm just worried about whether Jingbei can block it."
"Although Liao Gongyuan is a bit narrow-minded, he is also extraordinary in terms of ability. And with the help of General Han and others, I will take care of him on time, but Ziyu" Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Jin with a solemn expression. said.
"Yangzhou is no big deal. If Gong Jin is willing to believe me, let me try my own method." Zhuge Jin looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile.
"Okay, it will all depend on Tzuyu's performance then." Zhou Yu didn't say anything more, which was regarded as acquiescing to Zhuge Jin's proposal. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
