Lord of the People of Online Games

Chapter 447: Xu You offers advice

   "Zhao Long, who called himself Jizhou Mu, stationed soldiers in Yecheng, preparing to go north to Changshan to fight with Bingzhou Huma."

   "Report, a person who claims to be Xu Ziyuan wants to enter the city."

   Zhou Yafu is discussing a sneak attack on Yecheng with Du Ruhui, and the soldiers defending the city report to Zhou Yafu.

   "Xu Ziyuan? Could it be Xu You?"

   Zhou Yafu remembers that Yuan Shao’s counselor once offended his lord.

   Whether to take him in is still a question.

   Du Ruhui pondered for a while and said to Zhou Yafu: "If the lord is present, in order to get Jizhou, unless he has a deep hatred with Xu You, he will definitely take him in. The general can open the city gate."

   After hearing Du Ruhui's analysis, Zhou Yafu waved his hand: "Bring Xu You to see me."

   Soon a strategist was brought over by the soldiers and he adjusted his clothes: "The ferry has been occupied by your soldiers and horses from Yanzhou. I want to go south, please make it easier for me and my family to return to my hometown in Nanyang."

   Du Ruhui stared at Xu You: "Xu Ziyuan is a great talent, so how can he be willing to live in the hometown of Nanyang? Now that there is a chaos today, and the heroes are rising together, is Xu Ziyuan unwilling to make a career?"

   Xu You said: "Yuan Benchu ​​fought badly with his subordinates, and was defeated and captured. Now Zhao Long advocates Jizhou and reuse the Hebei family. I am from Nanyang and I am excluded, I am afraid I will not be taken seriously. I am disappointed and want to live in seclusion."

   Du Ruhui still stared at Xu You with a smile, his eyes seemed to see through Xu You's inner thoughts, Xu You couldn't help being surprised.

   As one of Tang Taizong’s two great counsellors, Du Ruhui’s ability is probably higher than that of Tian Feng and Jushou. Xu You’s simple prevarication could not hide Du Ruhui at all.

   Du Ruhui's current intelligence has reached 96. It is not difficult to see through Xu You's ideas.

   "Ziyuan don't want to blame me, presumably Ziyuan already intends to take refuge in the new master, so he went south."

   Du Ruhui's eyes let Xu You know that there is no need to go around the corner. Du Ruhui is one of Chutian's important counsels and cannot hide anything from him.

   Xu You replied: "Cao A and I are old friends, and I plan to rely on him and have food and clothing."

  "Cao Mengde is currently serving as a partial general under the command of Yanzhou Mu, Ziyuan, instead of relying on Cao Mengde, it is better to go directly to Yanzhou Mu, and he will still be the master in the future."

   "There is a gap between Yanzhou Mu and I, and I reuse the Xuzhou family, how can I use me?"

"Yanzhou Mu has the world in mind, and if there is no tolerance, wouldn't Qingzhou Zhao Gongzi and Yanzhou Cao Mengde all be executed for Yanzhou Mu's? The Yanzhou family, Cheng Yu and Man Chong, are in favor of the Xuzhou family? doubt."

   Du Ruhui's words opened Xu You's heart.

   It seems that he and Chu Tian are not insoluble hatred. They used to be their own masters and confront each other. As long as Chu Tian can tolerate him, they can still be reused.

   As for the reuse of Zhao Long from the Hebei family, he seemed to be a little hasty in order to clear the faction disputes within Yuan Shao as soon as possible, causing Xu You to flee.

   In a sense, Xu You is also a talent, otherwise Yuan Shao would not consider him one of the masters.

   "Where is Yanzhou Mu?"

   "We are attacking Yuzhou."

   "What a pity, what a pity..."

   Xu You couldn't help but call it a pity.

   Zhou Yafu asked, "Why is it a pity?"

   Xu You replied: "Zhao Long is newly appointed as Jizhou Mu, Yuan Benchu ​​is under house arrest, and he goes north to fight for hegemony with Huma, and the hearts of the people are uncertain. If Yanzhou Mu has already won Yuzhou and dispatched three to four hundred thousand troops, Jizhou will be within easy reach, and Hebei can do so."

   Du Ruhui said: "Yuzhou is a confidant, and there is Jingzhou army going north. If the lord leads the main force to cross the Yellow River and fight against the princes of Hebei, then the Central Plains must be taken by the Yuzhou army and the Jingzhou army. This is a sacrifice to the last."

   Xu You shook his head: "This is a pity."

   Suddenly, Xu You's eyes lit up: "Zhao Long assembles soldiers and horses to go north, and there is bound to be a battle with Huma. Why didn't this general lead his soldiers and horses to attack Yecheng and make Zhao Long suffer from the enemy?"

Zhou Yafu replied: "This is the intention, but unfortunately, no one leads the way. Yecheng is the key to Jizhou, and Handan is a horn of each other. If you attack Yecheng, Handan will save it. If you attack Handan, you need to divide your forces to surround Yecheng, otherwise Yecheng must be saved. My troops are insufficient to break the two cities at the same time."

   Xu You paced anxiously.

   If he decides to take refuge in Chutian, he must make a contribution and gain the trust of Chutian.

   Du Ruhui is still like an old fox, smiling but not smiling, waiting patiently for Xu You's plan.

   Du Ruhui has never been to Jizhou after all, and his knowledge of Jizhou is limited to intelligence. Unlike Xu You, he has been working hard with Yuan Shao in Jizhou for three years. As one of Yuan Shao's planners, Xu You not only has some abilities, but he is also familiar with Jizhou's terrain and human feelings. If Xu You proposes a strategy to attack Jizhou, it may be more practical than Du Ruhui.

"The general can try to attack Yecheng. The wheat in Jizhou is about to mature, and the generals are really unable to attack, so they can divide their troops to harvest the wheat and transport it back to Liyang. In this way, not only can Liyang get grain and grass to hold on, but also make Yecheng and Zhao Long Dajun is in a predicament of food shortage."

   "Secondly, Qishui can be blocked and a canal can be dug to make it flow into Baigou and increase the amount of water in Baigou, so that large ships can transport military rations from Yanzhou to Jizhou."

   "The third is to rob the population of surrounding villages and towns, increase the number of people in Liyang, or move to the south of the Yellow River.

   "Fourth, send people to Montenegro to contact Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin army, and if he raises troops to respond, he will receive one hundred thousand from the Montenegrin army. If you attack Yecheng, major events can be accomplished."

   "Fifth, the scouts were made to spread news in Yecheng, falsely claiming that Jizhou was defeated. There must be panic, or a traitor would surrender to the city."

   When Zhou Yafu was weak, Xu You still offered five tricks to Zhou Yafu.

   Du Ruhui recognized Xu You's five strategies, surrendering food, extinct households, wooing the Montenegrin army, disrupting the hearts of Yecheng people, and digging a canal to open up the waterway for transportation of grain, which can be described as a good strategy for Jizhou.

   "Zi Yuan has made great contributions, and he will definitely reuse it for the Lord in the future."

   In order to win over Xu You who knows about Jizhou as much as possible, Du Ruhui praised Xu You a little bit.

   Xu You saw that Chu Tian's counselor praised him a lot, and said in his heart that Chu Zimou's counselor was nothing but this. If Chu Zimou can take Jizhou, it will be my Xu Ziyuan's credit.

   Despite thinking so, Xu You didn't dare to be proud before he really captured Yecheng. Instead, he asked Zhou Yafu: "This general is always taciturn. I don't know what Xu Ziyuan's strategy is?"

  Zhou Yafu pondered: "Wait for Zhao Long to lead his troops northward, you can act accordingly."

"If you two listen to my good strategy, great things can be achieved, Jizhou can get it, and you will be reused by Yanzhou Mu. Yuan Benchu ​​didn't follow my strategy, which led to Zhao Long's great power and high power, and he made a big mistake. ."

   Xu You still involuntarily showed a highly skilled posture.

   Du Ruhui shook his head in the dark, Xu You will plan things, but not people. In other words, Xu You is too arrogant, and greedy, with bad personal conduct, and it is difficult to get along with each other after all.

   However, after Chu Tian captured Yuzhou, the next step was to pacify Hebei, so Du Ruhui had to leave Xu You for Chu Tian, ​​even if it was to temporarily satisfy Xu You’s character defect.

   As for the capture of Yuzhou, after Xu You seems less important, let’s see if Xu You will be a man...

   Personal ability determines the lower limit, and personality determines the upper limit.

   Du Ruhui privately asked Zhou Yafu to treat Xu You as an adviser, and he was willing to serve as the No. 2 adviser of the defensive army. At the same time, he divided part of the spoils into Xu You and his family to satisfy Xu You's desire for fame and wealth.

   Xu You was very satisfied. He was robbed of a lot of property by the insurgents when he escaped from Yecheng. Du Ruhui's generosity made him extremely satisfied with the Chutian forces and felt Chutian's sincerity.

   Actually, this is just Du Ruhui's arbitrariness.

   Fang seeks an end, Du Ruhui's decision-making ability is extremely strong.

   In other words, even without Chu Tian’s order, he can still make judgments based on the situation, even if it is about personnel decisions, Du Ruhui is equally accurate.

   As soon as Xu You came to Liyang, he was stabilized by Du Ruhui. He believed that Chu Tian had cleared up his previous suspicions and was thirsty for talents, and Xu You was the talent Chu Tian lacked.

   Judging from the strategic purpose of acquiring Jizhou, Xu You is really a talent that Chutian must win.

"Liyang is located in Hebei, and the main army is located in Henan and Xuzhou. If Zhao Long defeats Huma and attacks Liyang south, Liyang may be captured at any time. Ziyuan's family should be sent to Yanzhou... No, even if it is Yanzhou in the future, It's not safe. It's better to send it to Xuzhou to avoid the war. Xuzhou has been without war for many years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which can protect Ziyuan's family from worry."

   Du Ruhui proposed to send Xu You's family to Xuzhou for asylum.

   Although it is a refuge, it is more like a hostage.

   At present, all of Cao Cao's clansmen live in Xiacheng and are under surveillance at the same time.

Xu You also knows this, but he has been moved by Du Ruhui's series of actions, and being a hostage is not uncommon, so he agreed to send his family to Xuzhou, and Zhou Yafu sent a team to **** him across the Yellow River. .

   Du Ruhui watched Xu You’s family leave, knowing that Xu You could only serve Chu Tian, ​​otherwise he would lose his family.

   Not only that, Du Ruhui also repaired a book and sent it to Chu Tian, ​​suggesting that Xu Youxu should be generous with high officials.

   Zhou Yafu began to consolidate his troops, preparing for a surprise attack on Yecheng.

   Yecheng, Zhao Long led a team of civil servants and generals, looking in the direction of Li Yang.

   Li Yang was occupied by Zhou Yafu and became a nail house in Hebei, leaving Zhao Long in his throat, hard to swallow.

   "Liu Bei and Tian Qi agreed to send troops, but they demanded more fiefdoms after defeating Huma. Otherwise, they would not send troops."

   A minister of the forces of Liu Bei and Tian Qi returned and reported to Zhao Long.

Zhao Long wandered and finally made up his mind: "If Huma can be defeated, I can give Liu Bei the Hejian Kingdom and Tian Qi Qinghe Kingdom. They will have two prefectures and fiefdoms to recruit troops. In the future, if they become the Central Plains, they can They are named kings of different surnames, and their current territory will be the future state, and they will never break their promise!"

   In order to make up the gap with Chutian as soon as possible, Zhao Long could only choose to compromise with Liu Bei and Tian Qi.

   Liu Bei and Tian Qi may fall to Chutian, the only thing that can win them is more fiefdoms. Although this approach is extremely dangerous, Zhao Long had to do it.

   Refuge in Chu Tian, ​​Chu Tian will not crack the earth and make kings. Any princes annexed by Chu Tian are basically famous and have no rights. The only powerful Cao Cao was suppressed by Wei Qing. At the same time, the number of soldiers and horses under his command was not many.

   Zhao Long can tolerate Liu Bei and Tian Qi's self-respect.

   This is why Liu Bei and Tian Qi are still in his camp, because their territories are all in Hebei.

   Chutian could not tolerate the princes who hadn't completely succumbed to him within his own power.

   This is the biggest difference between Zhao Long and Chu Tian.

   Of course, Zhao Long also knew that his actions were quite dangerous. Once Liu Bei and Tian Qi betrayed, he would be the next Yuan Shao or the next Yuan Shu.

   Liu Bei could not be willing to be completely annexed by Chutian, so Zhao Long did not worry that Liu Bei would take refuge in Chutian under the premise of giving Liu Bei two counties.

   The only variable is Tian Qi.

   If Tian Qi is a Liu Bei-style character, then he will stick to the last city. If it is a Zhang Lu-style character, then it is very likely that he will surrender immediately after Chutian's army arrives in Hebei.

   varies from person to person.

   The two counties should be able to temporarily stabilize Tian Qi.

   For the lost territory, Zhao Long took it back from Yuan Shao and Huma.

   As long as he maintains the dominant position in Hebei, he can command a few younger brothers.

   Jushou said: "Xu Ziyuan is a family in Henan. This time he disappeared, and he must have taken refuge in Chu Zimou in Henan. If you think about it, Li Yang's soldiers will surely attack Yecheng."

Zhao Long nodded: "I have expected that this time I will stay Gao Jong (the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty) and defend the city, and if Han captures the tiger as the general, Yecheng will be safe. Xu You abandons me and waits~www. wuxiahere.com~ Most of him participated in the assassination of me, fearing that I would convict him."

   Zhao Long accused Yuan Shao and Xu You of the assassin incident.

   Xu You left without saying goodbye. Yuan Shao was put under house arrest. The Jizhou family believed that Yuan Shao and Xu You were planning to assassinate Zhao Long, the hero of the high-level earthquake. Xu You left, confirming this.

   Therefore, Zhao Long actually won the favor of the Jizhou family, because Zhao Long cleared the Henan family that Yuan Shao had brought, and the Hebei family was the only one.

   Plain, Liu Bei got Zhao Long’s promise that after defeating Huma, he can obtain Hejian Kingdom and Bohai Kingdom, two prefectures, as a shelter.

   Liu Bei used the random recruitment order he brought back from the National Warfare to obtain a counselor, alongside Chen Xi, the foreign counselor.

   The current Liu Bei strategist and military commander group began to expand, accumulating strength in secret, he was not willing to give up Kuang and help the Han room and compete in the Central Plains.

"The general trend of the world is uncertain, and what Chen Xi said is that the lord can secretly make friends with Jizhou scholars. With the lord’s charm, courtesy and virtuous corporals, the Bohai and Hejian scholars will follow the lord. Perhaps Jizhou is not the place for the lord. ."

   The new counselor said to Liu Bei like this.

   Liu Beiqi said: "I was born in the north, and I think Jizhou and Youzhou are the most important places, and the world is so big, where is my place for Liu Xuande?"

The counselor said, "Otherwise. There are a lot of talents under the master's account, and there are hundreds of military officers, but there is no opportunity. You might as well accumulate strength secretly and make friends with the princes from all directions. There are many tigers in the north, and the south is weak. If you can't get a foothold in the north in the future, why not try the south. As long as the time goes by, the lord will definitely accomplish something."

   Liu Bei thought about it for a long time: "Jing Lue said quite true."
