Chapter 7014 The late Liu Dai
The truce was undoubtedly unanimously recognized by both sides, but it was only Yuan Shao and Fang Zhiwen who were in the truce. There was no truce between the players, and confrontation tasks were still being issued in Linji City and Yan Liang's military camp. This pattern of fighting and talking while in the interests of both sides.
Although Yuan Shao was angry when he saw Fang Zhiwen's request, he did not lose his mind angrily. In the affairs of the three counties of Qingzhou, Yuan Shao had made mistakes again and again. If he was wrong for the third time, then Yuan Shao would just find a piece of tofu to kill him. What else should he be the leader of the princes and the leader of the power!
So Yuan Shao endured it, admitted it, and compensated it? Yes, just talk slowly. Anyway, there will inevitably be big and small conflicts on the ground of the three northwest counties in Qingzhou in the future. If Yuan Shao accidentally gains the upper hand, you can calculate any debt back! Yuan Shao made this idea.
So, what was Fang Zhiwen’s idea? Didn’t he know that the man who owed debt was the one who was the one who owed the debt?
Of course, Fang Zhiwen knew that, especially after experiencing the shameless era in later generations, he had a deep understanding of the men who were owed debts, so Fang Zhiwen would not be stupid on this issue. Fang Zhiwen's purpose is indeed beyond money and real profit.
For Yuan Shao, what is the biggest capital? Yes, it is fame. Fang Zhiwen’s purpose is to crack down on Yuan Shao’s fame. What would people think when they know that Yuan Shao still owes Fang Zhiwen a lot of money and want to find ways to make a debt?
This question is actually very misty. Perhaps the subordinates under Yuan Shao now think this matter is taken for granted, but for those who are not under Yuan Shao but want to surrender? This debt is enough to show that Yuan Shao's power is actually not worthy of his name. Or in a sense, it is strong outside and do the middle.
This is enough. Fang Zhiwen’s target is the guys from the aristocratic family under Han Fu. When they find that Yuan Shao is not as powerful as they imagined, they may not have the idea of betraying Han Fu to unite with Yuan Shao! And this result is the greatest benefit of Fang Zhiwen, far greater than the 30 to 50 million.
So, on May 30th, with the tacit understanding between both sides, the ceasefire was achieved and the negotiations began.
....................................................................................
The situation in Qingzhou not only involved the attention of Han Fu and Zhang Jiao from Jizhou, but also attracted the attention of Yanzhou's governor Liu Dai and Jibei's prime minister Bao Xin. How could they turn a blind eye to what happened at the door of their home?
On the surface, the two are subordinate, but in fact, Bao Xin's status is relatively high. In general, Bao Xin is also a very contradictory person. He is from a noble family, so even if he does not admit it in his position, he will be included in the circle of the aristocratic clan. However, he himself thinks he is an imperial sect, so be careful not to be a royal sect.
What does an imperial sect ultimately want to establish itself? That is "righteousness"! Great righteousness!
Therefore, Bao Xin participated in the bidding for Dong because it was the emperor's decree and a righteousness!
Therefore, Bao Xin would not join Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao. Because he was the minister of the emperor, not the minister of the Yuan family. In this era when princes and warlords were rampant, as a minister of the emperor, he did not have the idea of the royalists to do whatever he wanted for the emperor. He could only do his best to do his part in the mission of the emperor!
Therefore, in a sense, Bao Xin and Kong Rong's thoughts and behaviors are somewhat similar.
As for Liu Dai, Liu Dai was bleeding from the Liu family. Even if he had a dark idea of becoming a 95 in his heart, it was a matter between his family and it was not someone else's turn to interfere. However, the fact now is the pattern of a strong minister and a weak ruler. As the bloodline of the Liu family, strengthening his own strength is something that Liu Dai remembers day and night.
However, the aristocratic power of Yanzhou is strong, and Liu Dai must re-package himself. At least on the surface, he cannot be too royal, nor can he show his rejection and fear of the aristocratic race. However, secretly, Liu Dai is cultivating his confidant to wait for the time to come, and be able to control his army in one fell swoop and then clean up the power of the aristocratic race.
Therefore, Liu Dai had no disgust towards Bao Xin, the imperial sect. On the contrary, he was very afraid of Zhang Miao's staunch clan. Therefore, Liu Dai agreed with Bao Xin's suggestion that he appropriately expanded his power to the east during the chaos in Jinan, and was willing to send troops to cooperate with Bao Xin.
Liu Dai was still happy to see that he could curb Yuan Shao.
However, when Liu Dai and Bao Xin's troops gathered in Lu County, Jibei and set off towards Licheng, Jinan, the Linji front line, which had fought fiercely the day before, suddenly heard the news of a ceasefire, which made Liu Dai and Bao Xin's troops, who had marched halfway, suddenly become in a dilemma.
It is difficult for Liu Dai and Bao Xin to judge what kind of ceasefire between Yuan Shao and Kong Rong is, whether it is a temporary or a complete ceasefire.
If the truce is completely truce, then Liu Dai and Bao Xin will go home and take a shower and go to bed. If it is a temporary truce, their troops will sway under Licheng. The temporary truce will probably become a permanent truce. When Linji Yan Liang's army comes west to support Licheng, let alone take Licheng, it will be difficult to escape unscathed by then.
The two had to order the army to temporarily stop advancing and stop within the jurisdiction of Jibei Kingdom. They claimed to the outside world that it was an excuse to prevent the spread of war, but in fact, they wanted to further observe the situation in the three counties of Qingzhou to see if there was still an opportunity to take advantage of the changes in the situation.
Then, news kept coming. First, there was a rumor. It was said that Wen Chou was ambushed by a cavalry on his way to support Yan Liang. The final result was that Wen Chou escaped with only the elite troops, and the entire army was wiped out. Why did this news sound unreliable? Moreover, neither side admitted it, only Yi Ren was circulating. It is said that the ambush was Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun is still on the grassland north of Zuoleshui, Xuantu County!
Then, there was another news that Yan Liang was attacked by night last night and 40,000 cavalry were gone. This news was also from Yi Ren's channel and was not confirmed by both parties. Compared with the news that Wen Chou was completely wiped out, this news is even more unreliable.
There were all kinds of strange news coming afterwards, including the news that both sides did not cease to fight and that the two sides still launched a war around Linji City.
Under the bombardment of various strange news, Liu Dai and Bao Xin felt at a loss, but the most taboo thing on the battlefield was hesitation. Therefore, they missed the most empty period of Licheng. The first thing Yuan Shao and Fang Zhiwen did to reach a ceasefire was to transfer the troops of Dongpingling to Licheng, blocking the throat of the attack from Jibei to Jinan.
After realizing it and being hesitant, he completely ruined Liu Dai and Bao Xin's strategic concept. From this point of view, these two people have very limited military and strategic levels, and their personalities are not suitable for being a hero. However, Bao Xin has no plans to be a hero. As for Liu Dai, it is hard to say.
After waiting for another day, Liu Dai and Bao Xin received a lot of real information. First of all, Wen Chou's defeat was a fact. Because there were videos from players as evidence, although Liu Dai and Bao Xin could not see this video, they could confirm the authenticity of the matter from another perspective. Then the news that Yan Liang suffered heavy losses at Linji City was confirmed, and the news that the two sides were still fighting was confirmed as false, and only Yi Ren's troops were fighting in chaos.
The last news was that Licheng arrived at 30,000 reinforcements last night.
Liu Dai and Bao Xin immediately regretted it. It turned out that they had missed the best opportunity to take Licheng. Once Yuan Shao gained a firm foothold in Jinan Kingdom, what they should worry about day and night were Bao Xin and Taishan Prefect Ying Shao.
Liu Dai was even more worried. Ying Shao was a typical aristocratic family and had close ties with the Yuan family. This person himself was also a person with no ambitions. Now he and Bao Xin suppressed him. Yuan Shao now took Jinan and Taishan bordered. Just find an excuse to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves. Ying Shao might hand over all the military power of Taishan County to Yuan Shao. At that time, Liu Dai would be in trouble!
It was not until this time that Liu Dai began to think that it was a bit too late. Now that Jinan was a foregone conclusion, Ying Shao was famous in the aristocratic circle and could not move him. He could only watch Yuan Shao put the sword and gun on his neck, but Liu Dai was helpless.
Thinking of this, a fire of namelessness arose in Liu Dai's heart. In anger, Liu Dai withdrew his troops and left Bao Xin to camp in Changqing alone. Although Bao Xin despised Liu Dai's irresponsibleness, he had to bite the bullet and hope that Yuan Shao had no idea of entering the Central Plains yet and had no intention of tearing apart with Yuan Shu.
....................................................................................................
"Please pay attention to this place. The prefect of Taishan County is Ying Shao. This person is a knowledgeable person and is just a knowledgeable person. This explains why Yuan Shao suddenly launched his troops south to capture the three northwest counties of Qingzhou, and at the same time he could also subdue Ying Shao, put strong pressure on Bao Xin, and suppress Liu Dai, and even left the meaning of going south to the Yangtze River. This is a big move!"
"It's a pretty good big chess move, but unfortunately this chess player didn't move well. As a result, Kong Rong, no, was picked out by Fang Zhiwen by Qi and most of Le'an out of thin air. This has to be said to be Yuan Shao's mistake. At the same time, it also proves that Fang Zhiwen is more sensitive than a dog and more fierce fighting power than a wolf!"
"Haha, since Yuan Shao lost his son, Yuan Shu will naturally respond. Judging from the current situation in Yuzhou, Huainan is the most important thing for Yuan Shu and it is also the key point of encircling Cao Cao. Even if these two brothers want to fight for the Central Plains, they will clear out the guys like Cao Cao and Liu Dai first. Then, if Yuan Shu wants to keep Huainan, he will definitely transfer troops from Sili to the south, and Yingchuan is a must-pass place. Therefore, our Xuchang may become the target of Yuan Shu's beating rabbits!"
"Huh!? So, Yuan Shu wants to deal with us by the way?"
"Yes, after we have compiled all the intelligence research, we believe that Xuchang has a very good chance of a battle!"
"If Yuan Shu's army is fighting with all its strength, and with the cooperation of the players, can we withstand it?"
This question caused the senior Iron Army leaders to think deeply.
