Chapter 672 Sili Mire
It feels good to watch without ads!
Fang Zhiwen held a cup of tea and stood in front of the map rack and looked at the map silently. Today, Fang Zhiwen was very quiet. Li Xueyin took Xiangxiang and Gao Shun to the temporary dock to load and unload the goods.
Zhao Yun and his cavalry were wandering and patrolling the outside of Hangu Pass, Huang Zhong was on duty on the city wall, and Taishi Zhaorong was patrolling the city. Recently, the flow of people through Hangu Pass was very large, and there were naturally countless people from all three religions and ninth ranks. Since the assassination in Luoyang, all cities have secretly strengthened their vigilance. Hangu Pass is located on the front line of the Central Plains and cannot relax its vigilance. In order to prevent it, Hangu Pass is still very strict.
"grown ups."
Fang Zhiwen didn't move and didn't look back. He spoke casually: "Yuanzhi, just right, let's talk about Mengjindu."
Xu Shu put away his hands, and walked around the desk on one side with some amusement.
Fang Zhiwen said as if his eyes were on his back: "By the way, pour yourself a cup of tea, and the teapot is right at your feet."
Xu Shu shook his head helplessly, knelt down and poured himself a cup of tea. Then he walked to Fang Zhiwen with the tea cup. Fang Zhiwen turned his head and smiled and nodded, saying hello.
"How about it, is there any latest information?"
"No, but after Hu Zhen of Huai County was defeated and lost the maneuverable attack power of the cavalry, Huai County could only defend the dead. This would be too passive. Moreover, the north bank of Mengjin Crossing was guarded by Wang Kuang and others, Li Su had no way to cross the river to support him, and Guo Si was even far away in Hedong. Therefore, the situation in Huai County was very bad! I wonder if Hu Zhen would take the initiative to evacuate and move closer to Hedong."
Xu Shu freed up a hand and pointed on the map. Fang Zhiwen nodded silently, then suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Shu and said, "Ruo Yuanzhi is Dong Zhuo, what would you do?"
"Defend to the death! Although Huai County is not a big city, it is still a first-class city at least. Such a big city has the confidence to defend to the death. On the contrary, Yan Liang did not have enough time to break Huai County, or Yuan Shao could not wait for Yan Liang to break Huai County to oppress Dong Zhuo."
Xu Shu's answer was quick. Obviously, he had thought about this question in advance. Fang Zhiwen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Li Ru is not a person who is famous for his reputation. Yuan Zhi can think of it. Li Ru must have thought of it too. Therefore, the situation in Huai County seems to be dangerous and safe. Yuan Zhi didn't seem to finish his words just now, so you continue."
"Well, I agree with this. Then let's see how Yuan Shao dealt with this change. Although Sili is fighting everywhere, there are only two people who really want to fight quickly, or two groups, namely Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao is in Huai County. He is in the direction of the Yewang, and is now attacking Wen County. There is also Yuan Shao himself, who is now between Mengjin and Chenggao. Then there is Yuan Shu's army. Yuan Shu is not jealous. He actually wants to use Dong Zhuo to consume Yuan Shao's army, so his army is in Zhongmu and Hulao to fight Hua Xiong, without any intention of making progress."
Xu Shu simply introduced the current situation in Sili, and the seemingly complicated situation suddenly became clear. If Dong Zhuo also understood this, he should appropriately mobilize the troops on the southern line to the north. Of course, he cannot ignore Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and these two guys must not be ignored.
However, appropriately enhancing the Northern Line is most conducive to the stability of the battle situation, which should be certain.
"If Dong Zhuo realized this, he would have mobilized the troops from the south to the north." Xu Shu's view was consistent with Fang Zhiwen, and Fang Zhiwen couldn't help but nodded slightly: "I guess it is likely to be transferred back to Zhang Ji to the front line of Yangchengshan to Xincheng to re-arrange the defense, and then release Li Jue's troops and put them on the northern line."
Fang Zhiwen thought about it briefly and said that this arrangement was feasible. On the one hand, Liu Bei was busy transporting the population around Liang County, and the north was not strong, while Cao Cao was on the line of Yingyin, Yangdi and Yangcheng, which were beaten to pieces. However, logistics supply was very problematic, so he did not dare to go deeper alone. If Cao Cao kept strong, he might be hit by Xu Rong, Hulaoguan. Cooperating with Zhang Ji, he would definitely eat Cao Cao's alone.
Of course, the premise of this arrangement is that Liu Bei will not attack forcefully, Cao Cao will not collude with Liu Bei, Yuan Shu will not provide supplies to Cao Cao, and Sun Jian will not fight against Hulao Pass and other factors. Although it seems to be walking on a tightrope, and there are still many prerequisites to walk on a tightrope, from the current situation, this tightrope can really be walked.
The entire Sili situation was undergoing subtle changes as Yuan Shao ascended the position of leader. It seemed that everyone except Yuan Shao's group was working hard to turn Sili into a big mud and wanted to trap Yuan Shao in it, but Yuan Shao could only advance but not retreat. At this time, Yuan Shao was no longer fighting with Dong Zhuo's family, but fighting against all opponents in the big chess game of Zhongyuan. In this situation, if Yuan Shao retreated a little, what was waiting for him might be a complete failure. I just don't know whether Yuan Shao himself could see the dangerous situation in front of him clearly now.
"Then, the only way out for Yuan Shao to seek change is that he has been on his own way, and it is impossible to rely on others!"
"Yes, Han Fu is in trouble on the Yellow River, haha." When Xu Shu said this, he couldn't help but laugh. In fact, Fang Zhiwen found the person who went to build a floating bridge for Yan Liang. As for how these people contacted Han Fu, there was no need to investigate this matter. You can think about it yourself. But every time Xu Shu thought of this, he felt that Yuan Shao was wronged, and Yan Liang was even more wronged.
After pursing his lips, Xu Shu continued: "There are Han Fu's naval troops on the Yellow River. Yan Liang can't cross the Yellow River even if he has three heads and six arms. So what if Wen County is lost? Even if Huai County is lost? Yan Liang's actions are still restricted by Han Fu. If Dong Zhuo is brave enough, he can now withdraw Hu Zhen and Wu Kuang to Hedong County. So what if Yan Liang takes over Hanoi and get anxious?"
"Dong Zhuo didn't dare. Dong Zhuo was a suspicious and cautious person, so he didn't dare to put all his chips on Han Fu."
Fang Zhiwenhe made a comment to Dong Zhuo with certainty, and Xu Shu thought it was right. Moreover, Dong Zhuo is a relatively strong person and doesn't like such an unknown failure. Even if he loses, he will lose.
"Well, so we can ignore the situation in Hanoi for the time being. Now Yuan Shao can only use the only chess pieces he can use. Yuan Shao also has more than 100,000 troops under him. If you use it well, the troops that are not up and down on the way are the winners and losers of the entire Central Plains chess game."
Fang Zhiwen nodded. Xu Shu's analysis was very good, but Yuan Shao's victory and defeat now seems to have fallen into Fang Zhiwen's hands to a large extent, that is food and grass!
Yuan Shao's troops are now an isolated army, and the retreat has been blocked by Chenggao. Yuan Shao should have turned around and attacked Chenggao. After taking down Chenggao, he opened up Ao Cang, obtained unobstructed supplies, and then attacked Gong County. This is the upright tactic. However, now Yuan Shao is camping near Mengjin, hoping to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's emptiness and weakness in Mengjin to insert the knife hard, take advantage of the fire to get the chestnut, and end Dong Zhuo's entire strategic layout.
This is indeed a winner and a very smart winner and loser. Yuan Shao was betting, but he was not betting with Yuan Shu, Ding Yuan, Liu Bei and others, nor was he betting with Dong Zhuo, but with Fang Zhiwen.
Yuan Shao bet that Fang Zhiwen will eventually stand on his side, because Fang Zhiwen needs Yuan Shao's existence, Fang Zhiwen needs a relatively stable Jizhou, and Fang Zhiwen also needs a person who can confront Yuan Shu...
"Haha, this rogue!"
Fang Zhiwen smiled and sighed. Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Zhiwen. Sure enough, he had already seen the mystery of the matter, so he dragged Chen Lin to delay the reply. Perhaps, Fang Zhiwen wanted Yuan Shao to pay more? Perhaps it was because he had not made up his mind yet?
"What do you think should be done?"
"Yuanzhi, then what do you think we should choose?"
"this......"
"Ask a word, it's not that you want to make decisions. Even the official opinion of the General Staff will not let you bear it alone."
"Haha, I'm not afraid of taking responsibility, but I feel that this matter is in a dilemma. I don't know what advice Lord Tian has?"
"Haha, there are, but you can tell me what you think first, and then I'll tell you!"
Fang Zhiwen smiled a little embarrassedly, and Xu Shu rolled his eyes. He was still in the mood to joke at this time. This is really...
"Sir, my opinion is that no matter what the reason is, Yuan Shao cannot fall. Once Yuan Shao falls, the Central Plains will be in a situation where there are no leaders. Yuan Shu is not enough to take on the great responsibilities. The Central Plains will inevitably be divided. Han Fu takes the opportunity to grow bigger, and the eastward advances southward and cannot control his power. Liu Bei goes north, Cao Cao gains power, and even Dong Zhuo can take the opportunity to counterattack. This is not in line with Miyun's interests. The Central Plains can only be properly weakened and cannot completely collapse."
Fang Zhiwen narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Under Xu Shu's slightly nervous gaze, he smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi has been thinking too much. How can we not control the Central Plains? Therefore, I don't think so. However, Jizhou cannot be confused, at least it cannot be confused now. Therefore, we must choose to stand on Yuan Shao's side. Yuan Hao's opinion is that we should not interfere too much in the matters in the Central Plains, but to ensure the stability of Jizhou will be beneficial to the stability of Youzhou."
Xu Shu suddenly realized and nodded in admiration and said, "Military advisor is of great opinion!"
"Haha, Yuan Zhi is not bad either. You don't have to belittle yourself. You two can say that they have similar views."
Xu Shu smiled and asked, "So what conditions should Yuan Shao be asked for?"
Fang Zhiwen stared at the map, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then laughed out loud: "Of course, and it must be a big condition, haha..."
Xu Shu looked at Fang Zhiwen who seemed very happy in confusion. He didn't know what he was happy about. He followed his eyes and looked at the map. Xu Shu was stunned. He turned his mind quickly and understood Fang Zhiwen's plan. But this plan was really surprising. Xu Shu looked at Fang Zhiwen and felt dizzy when facing this imaginative master!
