Lord of the people online game

"Zhao Long called himself the governor of Jizhou, stationed troops in Yecheng, and prepared to go north to Changshan to fight with the Huma in Bingzhou."

"I heard that there is a man who claims to be Xu Ziyuan who wants to enter the city."

Zhou Yafu was discussing with Du Ruhui to attack Yecheng, and the soldiers guarding the city reported to Zhou Yafu.

"Xu Ziyuan? Could it be Xu You?"

Zhou Yafu remembered that Yuan Shao's counselor had offended his lord.

Whether to take him in is still a question.

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

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

Soon a strategist was brought over by the soldiers and even dressed up: "The ferry has been occupied by your Yanzhou soldiers. I want to go south. Please go for some convenience and let me and my family return to my hometown in Nanyang."

Du Ruhui stared at Xu You: "Xu Ziyuan is a great talent, how could he be willing to live in seclusion in Nanyang? Now that today is in chaos, and all the heroes are rising together, is it because Xu Ziyuan is unwilling to do something?"

Xu You said: "Yuan Benchu ​​had a feud with his subordinates, but was defeated and captured. Now Zhao Long advocated Jizhou and valued the Hebei family. I am a native of Nanyang and I am excluded and I am afraid I will not be taken seriously. I am distracted and want to live in seclusion in the countryside."

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

As one of the two major strategists of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Du Ruhui's ability is probably higher than that of Tian Feng and Ju Su. Xu You's simple excuses could not hide it from Du Ruhui at all.

Du Ruhui's intelligence has reached 96 now, so it is not difficult to see through Xu You's ideas.

"Ziyuan should not imprison me. I believe Ziyuan already wants to surrender to the new master, so he went south."

Du Ruhui's eyes made Xu You know that there was no need to go around the corner. Du Ruhui was one of Chu Tian's important counselors and could not hide anything in front of him.

Xu You replied: "I am old friends with Cao Aman, and I plan to defect to him and have some food and clothing."

"Cao Mengde is now a general under the command of the Yanzhou Mu. Instead of surrendering to Cao Mengde, Ziyuan would rather surrender directly to the Yanzhou Mu and would still not lose his position as the leader in the future."

"The governor of Yanzhou has a gap with me, and he also reused the Xuzhou family. How could he use me?"

"If the governor of Yanzhou is in love with the world, if he is unwilling tolerant, then wouldn't the prince Zhao of Qingzhou and Cao Mengde of Yanzhou be killed by the governor of Yanzhou? Cheng Yu, a noble family in Yanzhou, is full of favor, and is there any bias in the affairs of Yanzhou? Please do not doubt it."

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

He and Chu Tian do not seem to be an unresolved hatred. They used to be their own masters and target each other. As long as Chu Tian can tolerate him, they can still be reused.

As for Zhao Long, who reused the Hebei family, in order to eliminate the factional disputes within Yuan Shao as soon as possible, he seemed a little too hasty, which led to Xu You fleeing.

In a sense, Xu You is also a talent, otherwise Yuan Shao would not have regarded him as one of the leaders.

"Where is the governor of Yanzhou?"

"It's attacking Yuzhou."

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

Xu You couldn't help but say it was a pity.

Zhou Yafu asked from the side, "Why are you a pity?"

Xu You replied: "Zhao Long was appointed as the governor of Jizhou, and placed himself under house arrest. He went north to compete for hegemony with Hu Ma, but people were not sure. If the governor of Yanzhou had already obtained Yuzhou and sent 300,000 to 400,000 troops, then Jizhou could be obtained at his fingertips and Hebei could be obtained."

Du Ruhui said: "Yuzhou is a big trouble, and the Jingzhou army goes north. If the lord leads the main force to cross the Yellow River and compete with the princes of Hebei, the Central Plains will definitely be the Yuzhou army, which is taken by the Jingzhou army. This is what is meant by sacrificing the roots and chasing the ends."

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

Suddenly, Xu You's eyes lit up: "Zhao Long gathered his troops to go north, and there would definitely be a battle with Hu Ma. Why didn't this general lead his troops to attack Yecheng, causing Zhao Long to be attacked from both sides?"

Zhou Yafu replied: "It's just that I have this intention, but unfortunately no one will lead the way. Yecheng is the key to Jizhou and is a horn with Handan. If you attack Yecheng, Handan will definitely save it. If you attack Handan, you need to divide your troops to surround Yecheng, otherwise Yecheng will definitely save it. My troops are insufficient and it is difficult to break the two cities at the same time."

Xu You paced anxiously.

If he decides to surrender to Chu Tian, ​​he must make contributions and gain Chu Tian’s trust.

Du Ruhui was still like an old fox, smiling and waiting patiently for Xu You to offer his advice.

Du Ruhui had never been to Jizhou after all, and his understanding of Jizhou was limited to intelligence. Xu You was different. He had been working hard in Jizhou with Yuan Shao for three years. As one of Yuan Shao's planners, Xu You not only had some abilities, but was also familiar with the narrow terrain and worldly style of Jizhou. If Xu You proposed a strategy to guide Jizhou, it might be more practical than Du Ruhui.

"A general can try to attack Yecheng. The wheat in Jizhou is about to mature. If the general is really unable to attack, he can divide his troops to harvest the wheat and transport it back to Liyang. In this way, not only can Liyang obtain food and grass to defend, but it can also put Yecheng and Zhao Long's army in a dilemma of shortage of food."

"Secondly, you can block the Qi water, dig a canal, so that it can flow into Baigou, and increase the amount of Baigou water, so that large ships can transport military rations from Yanzhou to Jizhou."

"Third, plundering the population of surrounding villages and towns, increasing the number of people in Liyang, or moving to the south of the Yellow River, is called a strategy of extinction of households."

"Fourth, send people to Heishan to contact Heishan army Zhang Yan and ordered him to raise an army to respond. Then he can obtain 100,000 Heishan army and attack Yecheng, and the great things will be accomplished."

"Fifth, I asked the scouts to spread news in Yecheng, lying that Jizhou was defeated, and people would be in panic, and some traitors might surrender to the city."

When Zhou Yafu was at a disadvantage in military strength, Xu You still offered five plans to Zhou Yafu.

Du Ruhui recognized Xu You's five strategies: excluding food and households, winning over Heishan army, disturbing the hearts of the people in Yecheng, and digging a canal to open up grain and water transportation, which can be said to be a good strategy for Jizhou.

"Ziyuan's contribution to his advice will definitely be valued by the lord in the future."

In order to win over Xu You who knew about Jizhou as much as possible, Du Ruhui praised Xu You slightly.

When Xu You saw Chu Tian’s counselors praise him very much, he thought to himself that Chu Zimou’s counselors are just like this. If Chu Zimou can win Jizhou, it will be my credit for me, Xu Ziyuan.

Despite this, Xu You didn't dare to be proud before he really captured Yecheng, but asked Zhou Yafu: "This general has always been taciturn and doesn't know what Xu Ziyuan's plan is?"

Zhou Yafu pondered: "When Zhao Long leads his troops north, he can act accordingly."

"If you two follow my good plans, great things can be accomplished and Jizhou can be obtained. You will also be valued by the governor of Yanzhou. Yuan Benchu ​​did not follow my plans, which led to Zhao Long's great power, which would make great achievements shock the master and make a big mistake by himself."

Xu You still couldn't help but show his superior skills at this time.

Du Ruhui shook his head secretly, Xu You knew how to plan things, but he didn't know how to plan others. In other words, Xu You was too arrogant, was greedy, and had poor personal character, and it was difficult for him to go out to be a general.

However, after Chu Tian conquered Yuzhou, the next step was to pacify Hebei. Therefore, Du Ruhui had to leave Xu You for Chu Tian, ​​even if it was temporarily satisfied with Xu You's personality flaws.

As for conquering Yuzhou, Xu You seems less important, let’s see if Xu You can be a human being…

An individual's ability determines the lower limit, while personality determines the upper limit.

Du Ruhui privately asked Zhou Yafu to regard Xu You as his aide, and he was willing to serve as the second counselor of the defensive legion. At the same time, he divided some of the spoils into Xu You and his family to satisfy Xu You's desire for fame and fortune.

Xu You was very satisfied. When he escaped from Yecheng, he was robbed of a lot of property by the rioters. Du Ruhui's generosity made him extremely satisfied with Chu Tian's power and felt Chu Tian's sincerity.

In fact, this is just Du Ruhui's arbitrary decision.

Fang planned Du Duan, and Du Ruhui had extremely strong decisive ability.

In other words, even without Chu Tian's order, he could make a judgment based on the situation. Even if he made a decision on personnel matters, Du Ruhui would also make accurate judgments.

Now, as soon as Xu You came to Liyang, he was stabilized by Du Ruhui, thinking that Chu Tian had already let go of his past grudges and was eager to seek talent. Xu You was the talent Chu Tian lacked.

Judging from the strategic purpose of taking Jizhou, Xu You is really the talent that Chu Tian must seize.

"Liyang is located in Hebei, and the lord's army is located in Henan and Xuzhou. If Zhao Long defeated Hu Ma and attacked Liyang in the south, Liyang might be captured at any time. Ziyuan's family should be sent to Yanzhou... No, even Yanzhou will not be safe in the future. It is better to send it to Xuzhou to avoid the war. Xuzhou has not had any war for many years, and the people live and work in peace, so Ziyuan's family can be safe."

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

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

At present, all Cao Cao's tribe members live in Xiacheng and are being monitored at the same time.

Xu You also knew this, but he was already moved by Du Ruhui's series of actions. In addition, as a hostage, it was not uncommon, so he agreed to send his family to Xuzhou, and Zhou Yafu sent a team to escort it to cross the Yellow River south.

Du Ruhui watched Xu You's family leave, knowing that Xu You can only work hard for Chu Tian, ​​otherwise he would lose his family.

Not only that, Du Ruhui also wrote a letter to Chu Tian, ​​proposing to give Xu You a high official position and a generous salary.

Zhou Yafu began to prepare his troops and prepare for a surprise attack on Yecheng.

In Yecheng, Zhao Long led a team of civil officials and military generals to look in the direction of Li Yang.

Li Yang was occupied by Zhou Yafu and became a nail owner in Hebei, making Zhao Longruo stuck in his throat and difficult to swallow.

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

Liu Bei and a minister from Tian Qi's forces came back to report to Zhao Long about his mission.

Zhao Long wandered and finally made up his mind: "If I could defeat Hu Ma, I could give Liu Bei Hejian Kingdom and Tian Qiqing River Kingdom. I would give them two counties and states to recruit troops. If I enter the Central Plains in the future, I could grant him the king of a different surname. Their current territory is the future fining state, and I will never break my promise!"

In order to make up for the gap with Chu Tian as soon as possible, Zhao Long had no choice but to compromise with Liu Bei and Tian Qi.

Liu Bei and Tian Qi may turn to Chu Tian, ​​and the only thing that can win over them is more fiefdoms. Although this approach is extremely dangerous, Zhao Long has to do so.

If he surrendered to Chu Tian, ​​Chu Tian would not break up the land and be named king. Any princes annexed by Chu Tian were basically famous but not powerful. Cao Cao, the only powerful, was suppressed by Wei Qing, and the number of troops in the headquarters was not large.

However, Zhao Long could tolerate Liu Bei and Tian Qi's army and respect for themselves.

This is why Liu Bei and Tian Qi are still in his camp, because their territory is all in Hebei, and they all prosper and lose.

Chu Tian could not tolerate that there were princes within his power who had not completely surrendered to him.

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

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

Liu Bei could not be willing to be completely annexed by Chu Tian, ​​so Zhao Long was not worried that Liu Bei would surrender to Chu Tian under the premise of giving Liu Bei two counties and states.

The only variable is Tian Qi.

If Tian Qi was a Liu Bei-style figure, then he would stick to the last city. If he was a Zhang Lu-style figure, then he would be very likely to surrender immediately after Chu Tian's army arrived in Hebei.

Varies from person to person.

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

Zhao Long took back the lost territory from Yuan Shao and Hu Ma.

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

Ju Su said: "Xu Ziyuan is a family in Henan. This time he disappeared, he must be Chu Zimou, who defected to Henan. Thinking about this, Li Yang's troops will definitely attack Yecheng."

Zhao Long nodded: "I have expected that this time I will stay Gao Yang (Prime Minister of the Sui Dynasty), Shen Pei and his two men defend the city, and then Han Qinhu is the general, Yecheng can be safe. Xu You betrayed us, and he is mostly involved in assassination for me, afraid that I will be punished."

Zhao Long charged all the assassin incident on Yuan Shao and Xu You.

Xu You left without saying goodbye, Yuan Shao was under house arrest, and the Jizhou family believed that Yuan Shao and Xu You planned to assassinate Zhao Long, the hero who was the master of the great cause of the master. Xu You left, which confirmed this.

Therefore, Zhao Long actually gained the favor of the Jizhou family because Zhao Long eliminated the Henan family brought by Yuan Shao and the Hebei family was the dominant one.

On the plain, Liu Bei received Zhao Long's promise that after defeating Huma, he could obtain Hejian and Bohai Kingdom, two counties and states, as a place to stay.

Liu Bei used the random recruitment order brought back from the National War to obtain a strategist, who was tied with the strategist Chen Xi.

Now Liu Bei's group of advisers and military generals has begun to expand and he is secretly accumulating strength. He is still unwilling to give up supporting the Han Dynasty and competing for the Central Plains.

"The world is not determined, and Chen Xi said so much. The lord can secretly make friends with scholars from Jizhou. With the lord's charm and respect for the wise and inferior people, then the scholars from Bohai and Hejian will follow the lord. Perhaps Jizhou is not the place where the lord's establishment is."

The new strategist said to Liu Bei like this.

Liu Beiqi said: "I was born in the north and should be valued by Jizhou and Youzhou. The world is so big. Where can I have my place where Liu Xuande?"

The adviser said, "Otherwise, the lord has a lot of talents and a hundred military generals, but there is no opportunity. You might as well accumulate strength secretly and make friends with princes from all directions. There are many tigers in the north and the south is weak. If you cannot gain a foothold in the north in the future, why not try the south? As long as the time comes, the lord will definitely achieve something."

Liu Bei thought for a long time: "Jing Lue said so much."
