I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 400

The reason why Yuan Shao was able to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and use his own advantages to gain an advantage in the battle with Lu Bu, in addition to his own strength, is also because Cao Cao assisted him from the side.

In terms of military art and strategy, Cao Cao is better than Yuan Shao, and there are many outstanding talents in the Cao clan, which also gave Yuan Shao a strong boost.

Facing the close friends Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Lu Bu was really powerless.

But it was at this time that Zhang Liao gave Lu Bu advice.

Zhang Liao believes that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are well prepared when it comes to city warfare and positional warfare, and their own side has no advantage.

Therefore, he hopes that Lu Bu will not fight any positional warfare with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao except for plain warfare from now on.

Moreover, Zhang Liao believes that although Yuan Shao is extremely talented in strategy, as the most capable monarch among the Yuan family, Yuan Shao's temperament is also extremely arrogant. Before Yuan Shao first arrived in Sizhou, he didn't know the reality of his own side, so he was fighting with him. One's own side is more restrained and forbearing in the battle, giving full play to the strengths of one's own army.

But with the passage of time, Yuan Shao has already won several games in a row by relying on positional battles. He is now arrogant, and it is very likely that he will take the initiative to send troops. This is also a good time for his side to turn defeat into victory by using the battle in the plain.

Lv Bu was always proud and arrogant, and generally didn't listen to the advice of his subordinates, but Zhang Liao was different from the other generals under his command, both in terms of force and military ability, he was highly valued by Lv Bu.

At the same time, Zhang Liao is not a direct descendant of Lu Bu, and has strong military autonomy to a certain extent, which also makes it difficult for Lu Bu to easily refute his opinions.

With no other way, Lu Bu decided to try Zhang Liao's tactics.

It was at this time that Luoyang's Tai students started to make trouble again.

And this time the scale of the disturbance was even bigger than before!

Therefore, Lv Bu took advantage of this excuse and began to retreat his troops slowly, giving Yuan Shao a huge room for advancement.

On the Luoyang side, there were disturbances by the Tai students, coupled with Lu Bu's setbacks several times, Yuan Shao's mind became active.

He planned to resume his division and go northward, directly entering Sizhou, and occupying the most affluent place in the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao advised Yuan Shao to wait a little longer. After all, although Lu Bu was defeated in the battle, his military strength was not damaged, especially the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under his command, which is still relatively intact and difficult to deal with.

Cao Cao hoped that Yuan Shao would not rush into the army rashly, but should stand firm and fight steadily.

But Yuan Shao couldn't restrain his desire for Sizhou after all.

He did not heed the advice of Cao Cao and his men of insight, and forcibly sent troops to the hinterland of Sizhou.

This dispatch of troops did teach him a huge lesson.

In positional warfare, the Bingzhou Army was really not very strong in the face of the powerful crossbow array of the Southern Army.

But in plain warfare, Bingzhou wolf cavalry can be said to be invincible in the world.

The ancient cavalry was like the tanks of the later generations on the plains, charging invincible.

Facing the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army, no matter how large the Jingzhou Army is, under the impact of the opponent, they will be beaten back and forth again and again, and it is impossible to organize an effective resistance.

Yuan Shao also came to the front line in person in this battle. As a result, under the several conflicts of Bingzhou wolf cavalry, his entire formation was cut into several sections. The defeat was like a landslide, and the soldiers scattered away.

Yuan Shao himself was also heroic, holding a long sword, he wanted to restore morale before the battle, and wanted to command the soldiers to fight against the opponent.

But the situation at that time was too chaotic. Even if Yuan Shao was the main general, he could not restore the decline.

Yuan Shao was at the front during this battle, facing the sudden attack of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, he almost died under his horse's hooves.

Fortunately, in the Chinese army, there were two heroes who had just joined the army and fought bravely to protect Yuan Shao from the enemy's formation, so that Yuan Shao escaped safely.

After returning to Daying, Yuan Shao rewarded the two heroes and asked them about their backgrounds.

The two heroes claimed to be from Jiujiang County, and since Sun Jian returned to Yuan Shao, they began to recruit low-level warriors from various counties for Yuan Shaoguang. These two men have admired Sun Jian's name for a long time, so they led the people from the same county to join them. Sun Jian was ordered to follow the Chinese army, so he was able to rescue Yuan Shao.

After listening to the two, Yuan Shao couldn't help feeling:

"If it wasn't for Wentai's knowledge of people, Yuan would almost have survived today."

Thinking carefully that he used to place too much emphasis on family background and less on heroes and warriors with low status, but now he was rescued by them instead, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

He immediately rewarded Sun Jian heavily, and promoted Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin as Sima in the camp, and stayed on his left and right as his arms.

That is to say, after this incident, Yuan Shao began to focus on ordinary warrior families, and authorized Sun Jian to promote some heroes and warriors for his own use among ordinary warrior families, so as to make up for the fact that the army is full of generals from high-ranking families. insufficient.

Now Yuan Shao’s territory is governed by the family’s private army system. When other big clans recruit soldiers, the method of selection is beyond Yuan Shao’s control, but his own central army must be rectified from now on. It's time to use some methods in troubled times instead of following the rules.

And this matter can only be done well by authorizing Sun Jian, who is also from a family of warriors in the south of the Yangtze River.

That is, when Lu Bu and Yuan Shao were fighting each other, a major turning point occurred in Luoyang.

Tian Feng sent countless spies from Hebei into Luoyang, spending a lot of money to spread rumors in Luoyang.

The rumors that Tian Feng spread were aimed specifically at those leading Tai students.

Most of these Tai students have benefited from the court officials and the Yuan family, and they are determined to encourage the Tai students to make trouble in Luoyang, and the rumors spread by Tian Feng are mainly aimed at this point.

People are full of jealousy!
Especially when a group of people are doing something together, some of them are doing it for their ideals, while others are doing it for their own interests, so the nature is naturally different.

It's fine if things don't come out, but once exposed, the entire group will face a major crisis of disintegration.

Soon, the money received by the leading Tai student, the promised benefits, and the various interests between his family and the court officials were exposed, and began to spread in Luoyang City.

When Tian Feng arranged for people to spread rumors, he deliberately expanded the facts!
How to expand?

For example, Tai student Zheng Ying, in order to organize troubles, accepted 500 million yuan from several big families in Ruying, but after Tian Feng passed it on, it became 5000 million yuan.

In addition, Tian Feng also spread rumors that those leading Tai students were promised by the court ministers to reward them with [-] filial piety places and two thousand stones from several large counties in the area.

These people were indeed bribed and favored, but not so much.

But the mouth grows on Tian Feng, he can say whatever he wants.

As soon as these rumors spread, the rioting Tai students began to lose their temper.

People do not suffer from inequality!
In the past, Liu Jian aroused the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army and the resentment towards the local rich and right clans with the phrase "Heaven makes up for the average". There was a huge rift in the relationship.

In fact, if you put this on anyone, no one can accept it.

They're all making trouble, they're all going to the government office to mess around, they're all for the purpose of abolishing the New Deal and supporting the procuratorial system...

Oh, our troubles are for nothing, and we may even face the risk of being imprisoned by the party in the future.

You can take money, take benefits, take benefits, even take official positions, and still benefit future generations? !

Your father's!Why?

Why are you making trouble so much?
Why are we so worthless? !
Soon, major internal strife broke out among the Tai students. Those leaders who had high prestige among the Tai students in the past and were elected by the Tai students lost their hearts completely.

And the crux of the matter now is that these people haven't been able to stand up and explain.

They were all imprisoned by Lu Bu!
And things don't seem to be over yet...

The leading Tai student was detained by Lu Bu, but it is impossible to make contact with each other on weekdays, make connections, and set up trouble plans at the same time.

Among the Tai students, these ten people also have their own support group, which is similar to a think tank, and can be said to be the second-tier figures who make trouble.

In order to restore the "leadership style" of the leader, these second-echelon people began to act.

They lobbied and held meetings to stabilize people's hearts, and tried every means to appease those Tai students who questioned the leader of the trouble because of rumors.

But at this time, Tian Feng started the second wave of attack!

That is to give real benefits.

With the support of Liu Jian, Tian Feng spent a lot of money and profit chain to win over the families behind some Tai students.

The primary target is the imperial student families in the three prefectures of Ji, You, and Qing within Liu Jian's jurisdiction.

Today's Hebei is already thriving, from politics to paper industry, from paper industry to textile industry, from textile industry to iron mining industry, then from iron mining industry to graphite industry, then from graphite industry to foreign trade, and shipping industry...

Hebei now includes too many interest chains, and the construction is extremely comprehensive.

Do the families of the Tai students in Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou want to break away from the existing interest chain in Hebei?
Okay, if you want to get out, then let your children continue to live poorly in Luoyang!

People can't afford it early, Liu Jian made the cake in Hebei so big that almost all the families tasted the huge sweetness in it.

You let them withdraw now, isn't it killing them?
Therefore, under the instruction of the families behind them, the imperial students from Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou all retreated.

At the same time, these Tai students changed their old tone, and they began to feel that "the New Deal is actually very good."

Later, Tian Feng used these Tai students to spread another rumor in Luoyang.

That is, the imperial students from the Ruying and Jingchu departments had already received Yuan's promise that no matter how serious the incident was, the imperial students from the Ruying and Jingchu departments would not be implicated.

All the scapegoats can be borne by Tai students from Xuzhou and the Central Plains.

All of a sudden, the Tai students from Xuzhou and the Central Plains were not happy.

Naigong's! !

Are you still human?
