Chapter 631 A New Beginning
Liu Yan nodded at Zhang Jiao, stood up and walked to the side of the hanging rack with the map hanging, picked up a wooden stick and pointed to the blue arrow representing Han Fujun's movement on the map and said:
"Please look, the troops departed from Wei County have reached 50,000 intake, of which 20,000 elite cavalry. This army has passed Baimajin and headed straight for Puyang. It seems that Han Fu wants to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to take advantage of the situation to capture Puyang and extend his power to the Central Plains. Let's look at Yuan Shao's troops. Yuan Shao's troops have just crossed the Yellow River and headed straight for Linyi. They should want to follow Dong'a to Yanzhou City. Yuan Shao's main troops are 40,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry."
"Miss Liu, this arrangement is normal no matter how you look at it. It is not difficult to understand that Han Fu wants to take Puyang in Henan. Because Puyang is close to the Yellow River, it can fully utilize Han Fu's Yellow River naval army and also become a favorable pawn to restrain Yuan Shao and the Central Plains clans. It is obvious that Han Fu is going to make trouble for Yuan Wei."
Zhang Yan quickly put forward different opinions. No matter how you look at it, Han Fu's behavior was very ordinary and a typical idea of taking advantage. It can be seen from his large number of troops.
"Well, I can understand it so much, and I can even think that Han Fu is quarreling!"
"Asking for trouble? Haha, it's very likely!" Zhao Aier continued with a smile, but her eyebrows were still slightly frowning.
Liu Yan smiled beautifully and continued: "The key is that Puyang is a nail placed at the door of Han Fu, so it is understandable that Han Fu wants to pull it away. What's even better is that it is close to the Yellow River. Han Fu wants to run away and no one can stop him."
"Is the disciple who wants to say that Han Fu will use the repeated struggles for Puyang to restrain the Central Plains clans and Yuan Shao?"
"Yes, the battle in the capital is about to begin. The Central Plains clans are not having too many troops, but they always feel that they are not strong enough. If Puyang still needs to garrison heavy troops, the troops will be even more stretched, so they have to..."
When Liu Yan said this, Zhao Aier suddenly interrupted her words with excitement: "So she could only mobilize more troops from the surrounding area, no matter whether they mobilize troops from Runan, Yanzhou or Jizhou, it will be beneficial to us in the end!"
"Haha. The most important thing should be whether it is beneficial to Han Fu!"
Everyone suddenly realized that Zhang Jiao twisted his beard and pondered for a while and said, "So, Han Fu wants to use Puyang to induce Yuan Shao to invest more troops in the Central Plains? Then why didn't Yuan Shao directly surround Wei and rescue Zhao and attack Qinghe or Yangping, instead of following Han Fu's baton?"
"No, Master, Han Fu's purpose is not here. Han Fu has drawn very few troops. In fact, he is sending this signal to me. Whether Yuan Shao attacks Qinghe or Yuan Shao's troops in Yanzhou, Han Fu wants to use his tens of thousands of soldiers to create an opportunity for us to counter-defense and attack! He wants us to fight with Yuan Shao first, and he will reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
"hiss!"
Zhang Yan and Zhang Niujiao gasped at the same time. This plan is really... It seems obscure and magical at first, but when you think about it carefully, it seems very natural. Even if the Yellow Turban Army now knows Han Fu’s plan, will the Yellow Turban Army miss this opportunity to expand its strategic depth?
What Han Fu did was just to intensify the crisis in the Central Plains, thereby inducing Yuan Shao to invest more troops in the Central Plains on a larger scale. Or on the contrary, when Yuan Shao did not dare to think about the Central Plains' troops, Han Fu easily took Puyang, thus forming a flank threat to the Central Plains clans. In the end, the failure of the Central Plains clans in the battle of the capital may at least make the war in the capital more complicated. No matter what, the benefits fall into Han Fu's hands.
Extremely brilliant strategic deployment!
...................................................................................
"This is Ju Shu's work, right? It's wonderful!"
Fang Zhiwen was also marking the map according to the information in his hand, and then let out such a sigh. Xiangxiang was leaning forward and was carefully watching the subtle situation formed around the war that was about to break out in the capital, and even the entire Han Dynasty.
Xu Shu held his chin and thought, his defocused gaze looked like he was dazed. Generals such as Taishi Zhaorong, Zhao Yun also turned their heads to look at the huge map. The tent was very quiet, but there was an outsider in the tent today, Xun Yu.
Anyway, Xun Yu followed Fang Zhiwen's troops to go south. When he was camping, Fang Zhiwen brought Xun Yu, who had nothing to do, to participate in military research. Xun Yu was fine, and he was doing nothing anyway.
As for Li Xueyin, she did not follow Fang Zhiwen to act, but stayed in the capital and cooperated with Zhen Jiang, who was far away in Miyun, to prepare to do a big deal of war materials first.
To be honest, Xun Yu did not have a deep understanding of military strategy. Xun Yu's talents were more reflected in government affairs and personnel affairs. However, the understanding ability of smart people is definitely unquestionable. Even if you don't understand, just listen to what people around you say and think about it with your smart head, you will naturally have some experience.
Therefore, Xun Yu still agrees with Fang Zhiwen's conclusion. From the discussions of these generals just now, Fang Zhiwen easily concluded the possible changes around Puyang and the chain reactions of surrounding forces due to the situation in Puyang. The final result was that Han Fu benefited, and this strategic arrangement was of course wonderful.
The question is, now that everyone knows Han Fu’s plan, can we change this ending? Xun Yu looked at Fang Zhiwen and Xu Shu with some curiosity. Maybe these two people have a way to break this strategic arrangement!
Xun Yu also found it difficult to explain why he had such thoughts and expectations in his heart. In theory, Xun Yu should hate Fang Zhiwen, and even hate him deeply, but Xun Yu did not have this feeling at all. Even if Fang Zhiwen said that he wanted to hijack his family and threaten him, Xun Yu still found it difficult to hate Fang Zhiwen.
It was precisely because Fang Zhiwen told the matter first that Xun Yu felt that he could not hate a person who could be careful about himself. Moreover, Fang Zhiwen's technique was not too much. He did not think that if he didn't use it for me, he would not be able to use it for others. It would be great to kill himself directly!
"This is a new beginning!" Fang Zhiwen summed up and inserted the information in his hand into the copywriting bag hanging on the side.
"What the lord said is very true!" Xu Shu almost immediately followed up, not like a distracted person: "This is a new beginning. We must put aside our previous thinking mode. It is time to consider the problem with lawless and bold thinking methods!"
"Haha... Yuan Zhi is really straightforward and lawless!? It hits the nail on the head!"
Xun Yu's heart was shaking, and he immediately understood what the two were saying. At the same time, he also felt a sudden sense of understanding in his mind. Yes! Now is an era of "lawlessness"! There is no emperor. Because the emperor is just a chess piece held in his hand, as long as he likes, he can fully support one; there is no "law". Because the authority of the center has completely declined, the center is just a synonym for the Central Plains clans.
Therefore, this is a new era of lawlessness!
The princes compete for hegemony!
Han Fu's approach was entirely out of consideration for his own interests, and he was not bound by any emperor, minister, or rules. Everything was for himself and for the interests of his own group, and that's all.
The generals present couldn't understand what the lord and the deputy chief of staff said for a while. However, no one was too stupid to ask about this matter now, and everyone held their ears up. Listening carefully, Xiangxiang blinked her big eyes and waited curiously for the following.
"Speaking of this, it actually has little to do with us, but they are fighting lively. I still welcome it, at least the business will be better."
Fang Zhiwen nodded as if he was very satisfied and admired Ju Shu's wonderful hands.
"Now it seems that the adults are actually the one who runs the fastest and farthest."
"ah?"
"I mean the adults are the lawless ones!"
Fang Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "It's true! I am a military man, a rough man. I don't know so much. I only know that the people under my rule must live and work in peace and prosperity, and my relatives must be safe and happy. I am actually a very simple person!"
Xu Shu gave Fang Zhiwen a blank look, then looked at Xun Yu, who was stunned, and bowed:
"I've been taught!"
"Haha, let's deduce it. Such a good example is just for strategic tutorials!"
Xu Shu nodded with a smile. This is true. Xu Shu even feels like he wants to participate directly. Just like a general, when a military advisor meets an opponent with equal strength, he will feel itchy. Although he cannot directly fight, it is also good to be indirectly happy.
"Just because of this, my subordinates will take it as the military."
Fang Zhiwen smiled and took a few steps back, sat on the stool beside Taishi Zhaorong, and reached out with a smile: "Please please, Deputy Chief of Staff!"
"It's about joining the military!"
"hehe....."
Everyone in the tent laughed, Xu Shu's face looked helpless, Xun Yu smiled, and looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zhiwen's image slowly became complete in Xun Yu's heart.
Fang Zhiwen is a simple and complex person. He has a straightforward personality of a soldier, giving people a sense of honesty and realness. At the same time, he also has his unique cunning side. His smart mind is good at calculating and has profound and concise insights into human nature.
What makes people feel most comfortable is that Fang Zhiwen does not hide his personality. Everyone who gets along with him will soon know what kind of person he is. Because of this, many people ignore Fang Zhiwen's calculating mind and are moved by his easy-going and honest personality.
However, no matter what, as a subordinate like Fang Zhiwen, it is still a very happy thing. At least the subordinate will clearly tell you what he likes and doesn't like, without having to randomly guess and form misunderstandings. In addition, Fang Zhiwen will only use facts to prove a person's ability, and will not rely on his own likes and dislikes, which also makes his subordinates sincerely support him.
In general, Fang Zhiwen is definitely a good boss, but it is hard to say whether he is a hero. Judging from his perspective on things, he definitely has a very high height and a view of the overall situation. What Fang Zhiwen lacks now seems to be just ambition! And ambition is sometimes gathered, which means that the ambitions of subordinates will eventually be gathered on the leader, so a good leader will basically not lack ambition, regardless of whether this ambition belongs to him or not.
When Xun Yu fell into his own contemplation, Xu Shu had already started to deduce it on the map! Of course, his first choice was to be Yuan Shao's side and choose to be Ju Su's opponent!
