Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, I revealed to Liu Bei that I was a time traveler

Chapter 122

"No way, my lord, you daughter, you have to hug me."

Xiao Yuan looked helpless, and could only smile bitterly at Lao Liu.

Liu Bei smiled: "Anyway, I will be your daughter-in-law in the future, what does the military advisor have to mind." "

Xiao Yuan: "..."

After the joke, Liu Bei put away his smile: "Shang Xiang, I have a major discussion with the military advisor, so don't pester him." "

"Oh~~"

Sun Shangxiang reluctantly let go of Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan ordered Xu Chu to send Sun Shang to the tent, and then he rode his horse with Liu Bei to the big tent.

"Changsu Military Division, on your way to Xiakou, Yun Chang sent a secret report from Xuzhou."

"Yuan Shao has broken through Yijing, and Gongsun Boqi committed suicide by raising fire."

Liu Bei mentioned the death of Gongsun Zhan, and his words revealed a little sadness.

After all, he and Gongsun Zhan had studied together with the great Confucian Lu Zhi, and they could be regarded as classmates.

"Gongsun Zhan is a famous general in the world, and the white horse Gongsun is powerful and the Hu people who killed him are terrified, as far as my Huaxia is concerned, he is worthy of the word hero."

"But it's a pity that Yuan Shao is not as easy to handle as Hu Ren."

"He beat Hu people is actually abusing vegetables, and he is playing a tailwind game, the battle of the boundary bridge kicked Yuan Shao's iron plate, and when he encountered the 03 headwind situation, his mentality was directly collapsed by Yuan Shao, and since then it has been all kinds of deaths."

"People like Gongsun Zan are the same as Sun Ce, they don't have a good mentality, they only play against the wind, and they can't fight against the headwind."

"In the final analysis, Gongsun Chan is also the material for being a general, and it is difficult for him to be the master and fight for the world."

"Falling to this step in the field, it can only be said that his ambition and ability do not match, and he is to blame, and the lord doesn't need to feel too sorry for him."

Xiao Yuan gave Gongsun Zhan an objective evaluation, and comforted Lao Liu by the way.

If Liu Bei realized, he was relieved.

"At present, Yuan Shao's pacification of Youzhou and unification of Hebei is always a fait accompli."

"I expect that he should immediately move his army south, although Cao Cao is the first to bear the brunt, but we can't take it lightly, we have to speed up the capture of Jingzhou."

"After all, we still have the sword of Xuzhou in the Central Plains, and it is impossible for Yuan Shao to turn a blind eye."

There was a sense of urgency between Liu Bei's words.

Xiao Yuan was relieved: "Don't panic, my lord, although Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Zhan, I estimate that the time for him to go south is at least five to six months, and we still have time." "

"Will Yuan Shao delay for so long?"

Liu Bei restrained his mount, his eyes slightly puzzled.

"First of all, Yuan Shao has just destroyed Gongsun Zhan, and he still needs to pacify the counties of Youzhou, and it will definitely take some time to finish the work."

"Again, I also said that Yuan Shao is a person who is scheming and indecisive, and to put it bluntly, he has difficulty in choosing."

"So, there must have been a delay in his journey from wanting to go south to really going south."

Liu Bei nodded slightly: "The military advisor is reasonable, and the military advisor should have a third reason." "

"The third reason, and the most important reason, is the factional struggle of the Yuan Shao group."

Xiao Yuan continued to walk slowly.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly urged the horse to follow, and listened attentively.

"According to the historical materials of our later history, within the Yuan group, according to the geographical division, it can be roughly divided into two factions."

"One faction is dominated by Xu You, Guo Tu, and Xin Bi Xin Ping brothers, mostly composed of Yingchuan Nanyang and Runan celebrities, I call them Ruying Gang."

"And Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan's mother, Wen, is Yuan Shao's hometown Runanren clan, so these people naturally rallied around Yuan Tan, and under Yuan Shao's group, a small group of Yuan Tan was divided."

"The other faction is composed of Jizhou scholars such as trial matching, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu, I call them the Jizhou Gang, or the Hebei Gang in a broad sense."

"And Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, and his mother Liu are from Jizhou, so the Jizhou Gang surrounds Yuan Shang and divides into a small group of Yuan Shang."

Xiao Yuan was unhurried and pointed out the factional struggle under Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei is not a political novice, and the internal friction of the Yuan family has also been heard of to some extent, and it is even clearer when Xiao Yuan says this.

"This Ruying gang will naturally urge Yuan Shao to go south immediately, hoping to cross the Yellow River tomorrow and hit Xudu the day after tomorrow."

"After all, their hometown is in Ruying, and Xu Du is also in Ruying, after Yuan Shao defeated Xu Du and replaced Cao Cao to control the Han Dynasty, it must be their Ruying Gang that benefits the most."

"So these people must be jumping up and down, actively encouraging Yuan Shao to go south immediately."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan was a little thirsty, so he took a sip of the water bladder.

"Besides, this Jizhou Gang, Yuan Shao's original governance office was in Yecheng, if Cao Cao is defeated, the governance office will definitely be moved to Xudu."

"As a result, Jizhou's position in the Yuan Shao Group must have declined sharply."

"Although Yuan Shao captured Henan, the Jizhou Gang can also reap a lot of benefits, but compared with the Ruying Gang, it must be a world of difference."

"People all have pink eye, and the most unsightly thing is that others are better than themselves."

"So out of selfishness, judging those Jizhou gangs, they definitely don't support Yuan Shao's southward movement."

"Even if you don't dare to oppose it openly, you will definitely find all kinds of high-sounding excuses to delay Yuan Shao's southward journey, and it is best to delay it until Yuan Shang is appointed as the prince."

"As soon as I say this, does the lord think that Yuan Shao can still quickly move south?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's eyes were like seeing the sun through the clouds, and he suddenly brightened.

"The infighting of the military advisor Yuan family is really to the point, and he knows it well."

"In this way, if Yuan Shao wants to move south, it will take at least five or six months, and we do have enough time." (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）

Xiao Yuan said lightly: "So we have to seize Yuan Shao's window period in the past few months and pacify Jingzhou as soon as possible, so that we can withdraw and return to the north to welcome Yuan Shao's south." "

Liu Bei thought so.

While the two were talking, they had returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, the sand table map of Xiakou City has been made and placed in the tent.

"Lord, make a secret report, Liu Biao has already reacted."

Before Liu Bei could sit down, Lu Meng presented the latest information.

Liu Bei had already prepared and was not surprised, but only waved his hand and said, "Read it out and let everyone listen to it." "

"Liu Biao has ordered to raise the troops of Jingzhou and divide the troops into three ways to rescue Xiakou."

"The northern route was personally commanded by Liu Biao, with Zhang Yun leading 5,000 Xiangyang naval troops, Wen Ping as the vanguard of the infantry army, and 30,000 water and land troops going south along the Han River and directly attacking Xiakou."

"On the west road, Cai Mao commanded the troops, led the 5,000 naval army of Jiangling, and came down the east of the river."

"In terms of the South Road, Liu Biao ordered his nephew Liu Pan and his general Huang Zhong to lead 20,000 troops from the four counties of Jingnan to the north and approach Xiakou along the south bank of the Yangtze River."

Lu Meng read out the information.

Liu Bei frowned slightly: "It seems that Liu Jingsheng is in a hurry, and the soldiers who have fallen into the country are also coming to save Xiakou." "

"This 823 is not strange."

Xiao Yuan sneered: "If Xiakou is lost, Xiangyang and Jiangling, the two major cities in Jingzhou, will face our army's soldiers, can Liu Biao not play with us." "

Liu Bei thought so, so he asked Lu Meng to mark the enemy's three-way soldiers and horses on the sand table.

"There is Huang Zu guarding Xiakou inside, and there is a three-way army outside, Liu Jingsheng wants to give us a joint attack inside and outside, turning passive into active."

"Well, the person who offered this strategy to break the siege does have some wisdom."

Liu Bei looked at the layout on the sand table and couldn't help nodding in approval.

After that, Liu Bei looked at Xiao Yuan: "Changsu Military Division, in your opinion, how should our army respond?" "

Xiao Yuan came to the sand table.

"Most of the people who offer this plan for Liu Biao are that Kuai Yue."

"This man does have some wisdom, but he misses the most important point."

"Huang Zu, you can't hold Xiakou at all!"

Xiao Yuan grabbed the bamboo pole and pointed to the model of Xiakou City.

"When I was on the ship, I observed the defense of Xiakou City and found that the city wall was old, and it was obvious that it had not been renovated and strengthened recently."

"This proves that Huang Zu thinks that Chaisang is impregnable, so he did not make preparations with both hands and thickened the walls of Xiakou to guard against our Xiangyang cannons."

"Then it's easy."

"What the lord needs to do is to divide the three-way soldiers and horses and block Liu Biao's three-way rescue troops for ten days."

"Within ten days, we will be able to build a sufficient number of Xiangyang cannons and flatten Xiakou City in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Yuan threw the bamboo pole and sneered:

"Xiakou City is taken, Kuai Yue's three-way encirclement plan is naturally self-defeating!".
