With the huge amount of money seized, the process of this blocking battle against the Xianbei Suli tribe two days later was nothing worth elaborating on.

Suli's purpose here is to accept Zhang Ju and share the property Zhang Ju snatched.

Because Zhang Ju was restrained and delayed by Zhao Yun, he had to take a long way to escape from Yanshan. Therefore, the news that "Zhang Ju has given up on the Hunshui Rebel Camp" was not known by Su Li in time because of this time difference.

From this perspective, Zhao Yun's delay in Zhang Ju's follow-up also had considerable strategic effect, allowing the Han army to have the advantage of information asymmetry as a whole.

But when Suli was not sure that Suli was about to attack, they each took over 500 cows of comforting nature, and ended up in an embarrassing state of "short hand holding people".

Just after collecting the property, I was still eating other people's wine and meat and being treated by others. I heard that an enemy army was coming. How dare you not work hard?

What an arrogant person, Kuo Yi was? Liu Yuhua was carrying people in a sedan chair and squeezing him to such a high level. Of course, he could only help him fight.

Besides, Tuo Yi was also confident that he would play an important combat role just for the Rangers' defensive battle.

The final combat deployment was as follows: Pan Feng himself brought more than a thousand people, and as suspicious soldiers, stationed in the rebel camp that had been abandoned by Zhang Ju on the south bank of the Hung River, and put on the rebel clothes, patrolled and maneuvered on the south bank of the river, pretending that Zhang Ju had not broken through.

Of course, this play was performed by the Scout Suli who accidentally touched the river and explored the way.

In the abandoned camp, countless boxes and haystacks were piled up again, and covered with cloth curtains. The purpose was to make those who were looking far away from the river vaguely feel that there were still many supplies in the camp, which made the greedy Xianbei people drool and strengthen their determination to rescue them.

Then, the Queyi tribe stayed on the north bank of the river, pretending to be the original Zhang Fei tribe, and seemed to be on the north side with empty defense. Guan Yu's navy still stayed in the river, pretending to confront Zhang Ju tribe played by Pan Feng, and also expose his back to the Xianbei reinforcements from the north bank.

As for the cavalry of Zhang He under Pan Feng, and even the cavalry of Kuo Yi's headquarters, they should be placed on both sides of the camp first, and the terrain with relatively woods and green gauze tents should be hidden, so that Suli would not find it too far away.

Such an arrangement, coupled with the lack of information from the Xianbei people, I don’t know that Zhang Ju has left, so of course he has stepped into the pit and turned the battle that could have played the advantage of the Xianbei people into a positional battle against the Han army.

There were more than 3,000 Liu Bei's troops, 7,000 Tuo Yi's troops, and 5,000 Pan Feng's troops, with a total force of 15,000. Suli came to the door with pocket formations on three sides in advance.

In addition to the frontal battlefield, the former Guangyang Commander Jiao Chu and Yuyang Commander Zhang Nan also had more than 3,000 weak brigades deployed along Suli's route. Although these troops could not participate in the bloody battle head-on, they could also retreat after Suli's defeat and fight a clamor for the hunt along the way.

Such a layout finally made the Xianbei Suli tribe lose and lose, losing half of the rangers and flee in a hurry, completely giving up the delusion of responding to Zhang Ju.

Three days later, Zhang Ju and Suli finally returned to the main rebels in Guanzi City, western Liaoning. After all the rebels made a decision, they realized that their respective losses were so huge that the morale of the rebels suffered a severe blow.

And I heard that Zhang Ju had robbed for so long, but most of the supplies were not brought back, but were abandoned and burned. From Qiu Liju to Suli, his dissatisfaction with Zhang Ju soared to a higher level. Everyone began to worry about food and grass issues and dared not swear to enlarge the army.

Because no matter how many people there are, I don’t know whether there is enough military rations to feed them.

After this battle, the Han army and the rebels did not engage in any military adventures for several months, but entered a complete stalemate stage, and everyone was counting on consuming each other's food to drag down the other party.

Zhang Ju's prestige among the Hu people has temporarily declined, and he can only rely on the merit of "besieging Gongsun Zan to starve to death" to regain his prestige. Or he hopes that Liu Yu will come in and rescue Gongsun Zan, and fight at home in Guanzi City, western Liaoning to use Gongsun Zan as a bait to siege the city to fight and eliminate Liu Yu's reinforcements.

On the other hand, Que Yi and Pan Feng also took a post-war pension and comfort according to the principle of more work and more gain, and each returned to Jizhou. Strictly speaking, in this battle that finally made a profit, the Jizhou army was not obliged to participate in the war because it happened entirely in Youzhou.

This reinforcement army was 100% considered the sponsorship brought by Liu Bei to Liu Yu.

Liu Bei sent so much supplies. In the memorial to report the victory to the court, Liu Yu of course had to help Liu Bei write more military achievements.

On the tenth day of July, Liu Yu's memorial was handed over and he would arrive in Luoyang in about five or six days. The memorial also mentioned some of his suggestions, expressing his hope that he could adhere to the strategic line of hard work and give Emperor Ling of Han a vaccination, and hoped that the emperor would not believe any slander that forced him to "go ahead and win quickly."

...

The words are divided into two ends.

As the bloody battle and plunder of property on the front battlefield gradually subsided, the space for diplomatic strategists to play gradually became apparent.

Since ancient times, the stalemate stage has been convenient for separation and differentiation and gathering—

When the situation on the frontal battlefield is one-sided, what is there to talk about? In the face of absolute power, all the alienation strategies are not needed and cannot be implemented.

Only by stalemate means that both sides have basically equal strength and have their own concerns.

Li Su, who has been helping Liu Yu come as a guest star in finance and paperwork, finally has the opportunity to return to his old diplomatic fraud business.

The performances of Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao and Tuo Yi have been temporarily off! Later, I will see Li Yinbi who comes on the bench!

On the tenth day of July, the day when Liu Yu sent the memorial to Luoyang to see him go, Liu Yu summoned Li Su in the afternoon.

"What are the envoys' instructions?"

Li Su had just figured out the money and grain accounts for the rewards and pensions, and was highly appreciated by his leaders: Liu Yu said that he was more prone to getting money and grain than to do in the book. If it weren't for his higher talent in diplomatic fraud and his work was more important, he would have wanted Li Su to work part-time for a long time.

Liu Yu put the account book aside and asked: "Do you know why I sent the memorial to Luoyang today?"

Li Su thought about it and realized that there was indeed delay in time: it was already six days ago that Zhang Ju was completely repelled, and the reinforcements of the Xianbei Suli army were defeated by the Youji army, which was also four days ago.

If you want to send good news, you should send it three days earlier.

Li Su answered truthfully: "I don't know. When the envoy talks about it, I remembered that it seemed a little late to report the victory."

Liu Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It was because our army's scouts from Yuyang and Youbeiping's front line came to report. After Zhang Ju fled back to meet Qiu Liju, there were abnormal movements in Youbeiping for several consecutive days. I was afraid that the rebels would still take risks and wanted to wait.

Unexpectedly, before Zhang Ju could fight back, he waited for an unprecedented rebellious act - Zhang Ju actually officially announced his resignation to the public yesterday, and even issued documents everywhere, making rebellious words!"

Li Su was also slightly surprised when she heard this.

Of course he knew that Zhang Ju had now called himself "I" at all times, and he could torture the confession of the generals of the rebel officers who were injured and captured in the Youzhou front line. Moreover, Li Su knew that Zhang Ju had become emperor in history.

However, Li Su still didn't expect that Zhang Ju would become emperor at such an opportunity of defeat!

This is too unreasonable and seeking death.

Since ancient times, it has not been the only way to become emperor after taking military risks and making great contributions. That is the only way to be able to become emperor. How can one take advantage of the defeat and become emperor?

Li Su: "The envoy... There are so many strange things about this matter. Since ancient times, how can a rebel take advantage of the defeat to become emperor?"

Liu Yu: "This is the statement of Zhang Ju's emperor's title that was intercepted by Yuyang and the border troops of Youbeiping yesterday. You can take a look first - do you understand what Zhang Ju is thinking now?"

When Li Su heard this, he carefully and respectfully took the handwritten reverse text and carefully.

Not to mention, although Zhang Ju seems to have chosen the right time to be emperor, the crimes written in the manifesto for criticizing the Han Dynasty are basically true and are at the point of being at present.

Maybe it was because of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun’s official background, they would not engage in the propaganda of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang’s “The sky is dead and the yellow sky is standing” to win over the poor refugees at the bottom.

Zhang Ju's propaganda was mainly aimed at winning over powerful gentry and those classes who had the opportunity to become officials, and the reasons for rebellion were mainly to attack "the Han Dynasty sold official positions and titles, and no rewards were rewarded for their contributions."

There was no way. Who made Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun both military officials and promoted the Yellow Turban officials, but they were not valued by the Grand Marshal Zhang Wen. Instead, they were eliminated because their term of office was over.

The manifesto does not talk about the levy and the abuse of the people throughout the article, but only talks about "If the Han Dynasty continues, no one who has the ability and contributions will be able to do anything to be an official, but as long as you follow me, I guarantee that the people will return a fair world to become an official."

Reading further, there are still many examples in the manifesto, mainly about which officials Zhang Ju had appointed as the emperor as the propaganda to lure others into the thief.

For example, Zhang Chun was named General Mi Tian, ​​and there were also a bunch of Wuhuan and Xianbei, Gudu Hou, various three dukes, generals, governors and other empty titles...

At first glance, Li Su felt it was incredible: "It is necessary to write this kind of thing in such detail like crosstalk registration dishes? Many places are not yours. Is it useless to seal a bunch of governors out?"

For example, it says that Wu Yan, who had been killed in battle, was the governor of Qingzhou, and his younger brother Wu Su was the governor of Yanzhou. It should be that Zhang Ju didn't know that Wu Yan was dead.

But after watching for a while, Li Su suddenly realized.

He immediately looked up and looked at the old fox Liu Yu who was also well versed in the strategy of tutoring and pacifying. Then, he saw the same affirmative look in Liu Yu's eyes.

"Zhang Ju is advancing as a retreat. He would rather risk the world's worst and become emperor while defeating the defeat, than to conclude all the Hu chiefs who supported him before, and follow the title of thieves, and cause trouble for the court to surrender again?"

Liu Yu finally showed a look of relief: "Boya, I still underestimate you. In the entire Youzhou, there are so many civil and military staff under my command. You are the first to have the same vision as me in this regard."

Indeed, if Zhang Ju was defeated, he would be subject to greater military pressure from the court, and the soldiers and common people at the bottom were more likely to betray their relatives because of fear.

However, becoming emperor is beneficial to one thing, that is, the difficulty and psychological pressure of those kings and princes who just as soon as he became emperor, he accepted the title of title.

If there was no emperor, and there was a mere chaos, those Hu chiefs could take money and make peace with the Han Dynasty at any time.

But once you support the thief who clearly declares himself emperor, it is hard to say about the future liquidation.

Perhaps most people could "submission without asking", but those Hu Ke, who clearly wrote about the title of king and marquis in the initial anti-Han manifesto, would have much greater concerns anyway.

Zhang Ju wanted to drag Qiu Liju into the water more thoroughly! All the kings and princes who were canonized by him took a letter of surrender, and from then on, the possibility of making peace with the Han Dynasty was eliminated.

Liu Yu sighed: "In this way, I want to take advantage of the stalemate between the two armies and win over some tribes, and at least it will be impossible to attack for a while - Your Majesty also wants to save face. If a Hu chief just accepted Zhang Ju's enthronement, the Han Han would allow him to surrender and forgive his previous crimes of rebelling against the Han, the Han's majesty would be seriously damaged.

So even if you want to win over, you have to wait for this sensation to pass. Zhang's move will force them to join forces with each other for at least half a year, and they dare not have any other intentions within."

After hearing this, Li Su couldn't help but feel awe: Unexpectedly, at the end of the Han Dynasty a thousand and eight hundred years ago, there was a diplomatic genius in a natural state, and his ability to figure out this kind of problem was not inferior to that of him, a top student!

Liu Yu's diplomatic skills and sense of smell are really talented.
