Let's say that after Xun Yu received Zhao Yu's letter, when he informed everyone of the good news of the merger, the city was full of jubilation.Jizhou is close to the land of annexation, and the pressure on Jizhou has never been reduced, and now the B army has smoothly entered the annexation, and easily won the Shangdang and Taiyuan and Yanmen in the annexation of the state.However, what is even more surprising is that the Southern Xiongnu Huchuquan suddenly took the initiative to surrender to the B Army after capturing Yanmen Pass for some reason, hoping to be like the Wuhuan clan and the B Army, and unconditionally handed over the four places occupied by the Southern Xiongnu to the B Army.As a result, seven of the nine counties of the entire state were already in their hands, and only Xihe and Shangjun were still occupied by Cao's army.In fact, everyone didn't know that when Hu Chuquan saw Zhao Jun's iron cavalry and trapping camp and the thunder crossbow, the small abacus in his heart was completely shattered.And just before he still had the idea of fantasy also disappeared, after years of turbulence he called the kitchen spring to understand a truth, since ancient times the strong is the king, he is in the Southern Xiongnu single position, although it looks high, but every day lives a day of fear, for fear that someone else will plot against him, I don't know when he will poison himself.Especially after returning from Jizhou Zhao Yu this time, Hu Chuquan obviously felt that there was a trace of hostility in the eyes of some people, although the other party did not show it obviously, but Hu Chuquan, who was good at peeking and figuring out people's hearts, could still sense a trace of crisis.Perhaps because he, the Southern Xiongnu, had been imprisoned by Cao Cao for many years, some people had already wished that they would die quickly so that they could fight for the throne.Although after his death, he should be his nephew Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, who will inherit the throne of Shan Yu, but who can guarantee that someone will not be confused by power in his heart.Instead of worrying all day long, it is better to surrender to Zhao Yu's command, so that he is Zhao Yu's leader in the Southern Xiongnu, and he is still in charge of the power of the Southern Xiongnu.Even if some of the Southern Xiongnu want to plot against themselves, they may not be able to sit in the position of the Southern Xiongnu, not to mention that although some military power is still in their hands, but after surrendering to Zhao Yu, they will be subject to some supervision and control, and the slightest movement will be limited, so it seems that Hu Chuquan Tou Cheng Zhao Yu is to lower his status, but it is the wisest choice.When Zhao Yu occupied the seven counties of the state in an instant, he began to appease the people and absorb the surrendered Cao army, and the seven counties received less than 50,000 Cao troops, which made Zhao Yu doubtful.Could it be that Cao Cao only used 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight against his own army, which is really unreasonable.Faced with Zhao Yu's question, Xu Shu couldn't help but explain: "King Zhao, the reason why Cao Cao did not set up a heavy army in Bingzhou this time must be that Cao Cao planned to lose his car to protect the commander." ”Zhao Yu couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this: "Oh, what does Xu Shu mean by this, is it possible that Cao Cao gave me the huge annexation of the state like this" "After Liu Bei took Yizhou, in order to take advantage of the peak morale, he raised a large army to attack Hanzhong with all his might.And Jingzhou Xiangyang, Fancheng and other places suffered from Guan Yu's large-scale attack, and our army joined forces with the Southern Xiongnu to march into the state, presumably Cao Cao had already known the news of our army, so most of the troops in the state were transferred back to Xiliang to support Hanzhong and Fancheng. ”After Xu Shu finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yu with a confused look on his face and couldn't help but continue: "King Zhao is like a tiger, then Liu Bei and Guan Yu are like two jackals.With Cao Cao's current strength, it is obviously impossible to deal with a tiger and two jackals at the same time, so Cao Cao has to reluctantly cut his love and lose his car to protect his handsomeness. ”Zhao Yu rushed to the point and said incredulously: "Are you saying that Cao Cao deliberately transferred troops from Bingzhou in order to resist Liu Bei and Guan Yu to seize Hanzhong and Fancheng, and did not hesitate to give me the entire Bingzhou, Liu Bei is not afraid that I will take Bingzhou and directly attack his lair?"
However, Cao Cao knew that if he confronted King Zhao head-on, not only would he have a chance of winning, but he might also delay the war because of the stalemate between the armies of the two sides.With Cao Cao's current strength, he would definitely not be able to fight a long-term war, so Cao Cao gave up merging states and made every effort to resist Liu Bei, who attacked Hanzhong, and Guan Yu, who attacked Fancheng.Even if our army takes the state in the future, Cao Cao can also supervise the defense of the army in the state, and use Hanzhong as a base to resist Liu Bei's army.If once Cao Cao and our army fought a decisive battle in the annexation of states, then Liu Bei and Guan Yu would have no pressure, Liu Bei could capture Hanzhong and then enter Xiliang, and Guan Yu could take Xiangyang and Fancheng and wave their troops into the north to seize Sili, then the loss would be greater for Cao Cao. ”"Okay, you Xu Shu, you deserve to be one of my eight dragons, but this Cao Cao is really courageous.If it were me, I guess I wouldn't be willing to give up the entire state to others, and I saw that there were capable people behind Cao Cao.But then again, this time our army captured Bingzhou is a little too faceless, I finally personally supervised the army to fight, then Cao Cao actually released water, I really looked down on me. ”After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but show a look of annoyance, and Xu Shu, Lu Xun, Pang De, and Zhang Ren shook their heads and smiled bitterly.Suddenly, Zhao Yu asked: "What do you think we should do next, do you want to immediately march with Guo Jia's two armies to Xihe and Shangjun at the same time, and take down the entire state" Xu Shu spoke again and said: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye."
The minister thought that King Zhao should give an order to let the whole army make corrections, and by the way, he could also pacify the people and soldiers of the existing counties, and he also had the opportunity to digest the Southern Xiongnu army.In Dingxiang, Zhongxi, Taiyuan, and Yanmen, the generation of Dingxiang, Zhongxi, Taiyuan, and Yanmen built houses, schools, hospitals, and reclaimed wasteland, just like the Wuhuan family in Youzhou.When the entire Southern Xiongnu is digested and harmonized with my Han people, then King Zhao will truly control the entire Southern Xiongnu, and the next time he attacks the enemy, he can completely drive the Southern Xiongnu soldiers and horses to go to battle. ”"Then wouldn't it be better for us not to take this opportunity to take Xihe and Shangjun in one go, and then do repairs," Zhao Yu asked.Lu Xun, who was only listening to the side, suddenly explained: "King Zhao, Cao Cao was originally afraid of our army after all, if our army attacked too eagerly, it would make Cao Cao nervous and distracted, if so, then how could Cao Cao deal with Liu Bei and Guan Yu wholeheartedly."
It's better to give Cao Cao a chance, let Cao Cao and Liu Bei have a good fight, wouldn't it be better for King Zhao to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, my army only needs to pretend to take many cities in a row, pretending to be surprised, afraid that there is an ambush ahead, so I don't dare to enter the army. ”"Hahaha I see, it seems that I am too anxious, so I will listen to the words of the two of you, repair well in Bingzhou, and watch Cao Cao and Liu Bei fight each other."
Zhao Yu was suddenly stunned after speaking, and couldn't help but think of a question, and hurriedly asked the two of them: "A few people wrote to Xun Yu and asked him to send some generals from Jizhou to help me manage the state, I don't know if anyone came" Xu Shu hurriedly replied: "Back to King Zhao, early this morning, there were several people from Jizhou, all of whom were personally assigned by Xun Yu, and some of them had already begun to go to the city to appease the people or appease those prisoners in the army, but because they saw that King Zhao was busy, they didn't come to disturb." ”"Oh, it seems that Xun Yu is full of enthusiasm for the few people who came this time, I don't know who they are," Zhao Yu suddenly thought of Xu Shu after finishing speaking, and said: "Xu Shu is responsible for these people who came this time, if there is a good performance, it will be rewarded."
No matter who you are, as long as you contribute to our army, you are a meritorious hero, and we cannot bury everyone's hard work. ”Xu Shu bowed to Zhao Yu and said, "Actually, this morning, Xu Shu has already seen these people, but most of them Xu Shu doesn't know."
But judging from Lord Xun Yu's letter, these people are all young eagles in our army, but they are all geniuses, and I think it is also the reason why Lord Xun Yu let them come. ”After hearing Xu Shu's words, Zhao Yu was even more curious: "Oh, when you say that, I'm very curious about who these people are" I only heard Xu Shu speak: "Among them are General Zhao Yun's eldest son Zhao Tong and second son Zhao Guang, General Zang Ba's eldest son Zang Ai and second son Zang Shun, Guo Jia's Linglang Guo Yi, General Gan Ning's second son Gan Shu, Linglang Fuhu of Lord Fuzhu, Xin Xianying, the daughter of Lord Xinbi, Xun Yun, the eldest son of Lord Xun Yu, and the second son Xun Yu. ”Zhao Yu was immediately surprised when he heard this: "What are these guys really guys, they brought all their children to the state for training, and they didn't tell me in advance, all those boys in my family are pampered at home."
No, send someone to get my kid to join the state, so that he can experience it. ”Lu Xun hurriedly persuaded him: "King Zhao, Wang Shizi's status is special and noble, and the state has not yet been completely stabilized, so it is somewhat unsafe, and I hope that King Zhao will think twice." ”Zhao Yu didn't take Lu Xun's persuasion to heart at all, and waved his hand at him to interrupt the other party and said: "My kid is a child, so he is delicate, and other people's children are not children, so they are not delicate That kid follows these ladies all day long, although he is smarter and has learned some martial arts, but he is still a little immature and lacks some experience."
Immediately send me a letter to bring Wang Shizi here and march with me to fight, even if he is not allowed to command the battle, he only needs to watch from the sidelines, learn more and practice more. ”Seeing that Zhao Yu seemed to have made up his mind, Lu Xun didn't persuade him, so he had to bow his hand and say: "Weichen will send a letter to inform Lord Xun Yu of Jizhou later, so that he can prepare an army to escort Wang Shizi to Bingzhou. ”Zhao Yu couldn't help but snort coldly: "Jizhou is not far from here, why do you need to work so hard and waste money, you only need a hundred soldiers, you don't need to mobilize the people, I let him come because of experience, not pampered, remember." ”:
