Chapter 171: The art of victory, the sword points to Yangzhou(2/2)
"You mean, Yu Ji?"
Zhang Kun's heart was slightly shaken.
Cao Cao finally took action.
As expected, revenge does not last overnight, Boss Cao is a ruthless person.
If you can't play the obvious game, you will immediately realize your shame and become brave, and start looking for people to play dirty games.
Guo Jia shook his head to dissipate his drunkenness, and tried to make himself sober: "It is said that the art of Taiping covers a wide range of things, such as Fuluan and Zhan, and the small art of making wind and rain. Moreover, it also contains various fates.
Traction, the way of increasing and decreasing Qi, is also the legendary art of victory and the way of curse, one of which has a branch called witchcraft..."
“In the early Western Han Dynasty, the witchcraft disaster was extremely tragic, not only causing the death of the prince Liu Zhi and the queen Wei Zifu, but also implicating many royal relatives and dignitaries, and a total of tens of thousands of people died.
Therefore, emperors of all dynasties have a deep aversion to the practice of witchcraft, and will severely punish them once they are discovered."
Guo Jiasheng was afraid that Zhang Kun would not pay attention to this matter, so he also told the old story about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposing Chen Ajiao.
"It's really awesome."
Zhang Kun nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
The strength of my body now is beyond the imagination of outsiders.
It has almost completely surpassed the ordinary world. From blood to flesh and blood, everything is incredibly tough and powerful.
With such a physical body, he can still make himself feel exhausted. One can imagine how far the opponent's spell can go.
However, Zhang Kun thought that this kind of spell would mostly target fate and spirit.
This is what Guo Jia calls Qi Shu suppressed.
The impact on his physical body is approximately nil.
But no matter how little impact it has, it has restrained and offset my own spiritual practice. This is already a huge loss.
"Acting in a coma, advancing and retreating at a loss...Advancing without hesitation and going his own way!" Guo Jia's eyes were full of determination, "If I guess correctly, the next step is to lead the lord to send troops north and fall into an ambush...However,
Now that we have seen through the other party's purpose, it is not difficult to defeat this plan."
"What's the plan?"
"Regulate the army, pacify the people, open up borders, expand the territory..."
Guo Jia said solemnly: "We cannot develop Xuzhou slowly. Originally, it would be best to wait for the first half to a year to straighten out everything in Xuzhou before sending out troops.
However, since the opponent has already made his move, he cannot wait any longer. He must attack Yuan Shu as quickly as possible, gather the territory and the people, and increase his energy. In this way, this victory technique will no longer be possible.
And self-destruction.”
Why attack Yuan Shu?
Because he proclaimed himself emperor early.
The most disgusting thing is that all the princes in the world are disgusted.
It is also the easiest to fight.
Basically there is no resistance, just a weak persimmon.
Whoever attacks him first and seizes the territory and population will be able to eat to their heart's content.
In the original trajectory, Cao Cao got part of it and Sun Ce got part of it.
Therefore, the foundation of Wei and Wu was laid, allowing them to earn the crucial first pot of gold.
From this aspect, Yuan Shu is a good comrade.
"It's okay to fight. Now that we have eliminated the weak and retained the strong, there are still 80,000 troops left, which can be regarded as a powerful force. It is already a bit difficult to raise troops in Xuzhou alone, so it is the right time to expand outwards."
"Calling together the governors of all counties to prepare food, fodder and weapons, and in seven days, assemble the army and prepare for war."
…
Seven days passed quickly.
This time, the governors of various counties were extremely enthusiastic, and their work efficiency was many times faster than when Lu Bu was still in charge of Xuzhou.
The reason is complex yet simple.
These prefects have been keeping their duties since the Tao Qian period. In the Liu Bei and Lu Bu periods, because things were still undecided, it was not easy to change senior officials. Therefore, such as Xu Mengping, the prefect of Donghai, Zang Ba, the prefect of Langye, and Liu Ai, the prefect of Pengcheng.
, Xiapi Prefect Zuo Rong, Dongguan Prefect Yin Li, and Guangling Prefect Zhang Liao.
Except for Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who were Zhang Kun's new governors, the rest were all from the original team.
In Xuzhou's new settlement, Zhang Kun's subordinates did not have that many close civil and military officials. At this time, it was better to remain silent than to move, so he simply let the chief officials of the counties continue to serve, and Xiao Gui Cao followed.
However, Lu Lingqi was ordered to send a secret guard to each county to collect information and see who was feeding the common people and whose corpses were eating nothing. Once discovered, they would be immediately rectified and replaced.
Now, there is still no action.
These people did not discount Zhang Kun's first order after taking office.
With the arrival of grain and grass and the arrival of soldiers and weapons, Zhang Kun's army was ready to go south.
…
"Wenyuan, you have a stable character and meticulous work. I am relieved to have you serve as the prefect of Guangling. Don't worry about the instability of the rear during this expedition. Just drive straight in. If you are not sure, you can consult the military advisors."
Yes, Zhang Kun spent a lot of time to help Guo Jia take care of his body. After more than twenty days, the military advisor drank wine and his health was in excellent condition. At least, within a few years, there would be no possibility of any serious illness.
As for a radical cure, wait until later and then take care of it slowly.
Anyway, no matter how hard he drinks, stays up late to cultivate immortality... with Zhang Kun's medical skills, he can always save him.
Thinking of the great importance of going south to attack Yangzhou, Zhang Kun sent Guo Jia out to prevent any mistakes.
On the Guangling side, Zhang Liao led 3,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.
Moreover, Zhang Kun also sent Liu Bei and Guan Yu out.
He also allocated 15,000 troops and horses to each of them, giving a total of 30,000 to his two brothers.
After Liu Bei bowed to Liu Bei last time and gained dragon energy points to join him, Zhang Kun had some changes in his mind. He thought that in this era, even an opponent like Zhang Xiu, who had killed his own son and general, could be surrendered and reused by Cao Cao.
It doesn't seem necessary to defend yourself like this.
Therefore, I decided to give it a try and see what happened.
Anyway, as long as you stay strong, you don't have to worry about anything that will end badly.
"Xuande, I am well aware of your great talent. I hope you will make great achievements as soon as possible. The world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits. To clean up the mountains and rivers and restore peace to the world, we still need the joint efforts of you and me."
"My lord, please relax your mind. Yuan Jiujiu is at the end of his strength at this time and can be easily defeated... The post of Jiujiang Governor is ready to be taken."
Liu Bei burst into tears of gratitude, his eyes were red, and he made promises again and again.
"Yun Chang, your injury hasn't healed for a long time. Please proceed with caution and don't force yourself."
"The general will save time and worry more about the lord."
Guan Yu was in a complicated mood and bowed his head respectfully.
Zhang Kun nodded and helped the two of them up. He seemed to have no grudges at all.
He appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Jiujiang, but he would only be able to fulfill his duties after he conquered Yangzhou.
Then, they made Guan Yu the governor of Lujiang. In the same way, they had to wait until their troops captured Lujiang County.
At that time, Guangling, Jiujiang and Lujiang are all in his own hands, and his troops are directed towards Runan to the west, threatening Cao Cao's Yuzhou territory; pointing to Yuzhang to the south, threatening Jiangdong, and firmly blocking Sun Ce's troops in Wu.
After taking Yangzhou, there is another advantage. You can enter Yuzhou at any time, attack Nanyang, break Cao Cao's south passage, and completely seal him in the north.
If this plan succeeds, Boss Cao will have no choice but to fight Yuan Shao to the death.
Of course, the most important thing is not the strategic advantage.
What is important to Zhang Kun is that his territory can expand rapidly again.
With Xu Yang's two states in hand, the people under his rule doubled, and his military strength doubled. He was not much weaker than Cao Cao.
If we can attract Sun Ce to attack, then the two sides will fight decisively...
A smile flashed in Zhang Kun's eyes. There are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in total, which can be called an army of 100,000. There are three generals and a world-renowned strategist...
Needless to say, Yuan Shu was defeated.
As for myself, my anger is so strong that it is even harder to contain it.
The art of victory will gradually become ineffective.
Under such a situation, the 'master' who secretly used despicable means should be unable to sit still.
I don’t know where the battlefield he will choose will be?
How will the attack be carried out?
