Chapter 181 Plotting people’s hearts
To be honest, Yuan Shao is really awesome. Being stubborn and arrogant are not big problems.
The biggest problem is that the contradictions among the various internal factions cannot be handled well. The Jizhou faction, the Yingchuan faction, and the Nanyang faction are fighting openly and secretly. Before the battle of Guandu, they cut down Jushou and captured Tian Feng, which made everyone in the Jizhou faction feel in danger.
This laid the groundwork for Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan's defection.
If the various groups within Yuan Shao could be as united as Cao Cao's, where would the Three Kingdoms be?
If Yuan Shao trusted a certain counselor as Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang, this guy would be damned.
Tian Feng, Ju Sue, Feng Ji, Xu You, and even Xun Yu and Guo Jia who had taken refuge with Yuan Shao before, who is not awesome?
However, having said that, with Yuan Shao's character, it is impossible for him to trust someone like Liu Bei, including Zhang Mo, the half-immortal he now highly respects.
Zhang Banxian declined politely, "I'm used to being free and can't be restrained. I hope the general will forgive me!"
Yuan Shao said hurriedly, "I won't restrict you. You can go wherever you want, sir. I just hope you can come and give me some advice from time to time."
Masters outside the world all love wandering. The more you wander, the more knowledgeable you will be. If you stay in one place, how can you still be called a master outside the world?
"If you can give me advice to the general, it only depends on the opportunity. If the opportunity comes, I will come to look for the general, such as this time..."
Zhang Mo brought the topic to the purpose of his visit this time, "The general stationed troops in Hanoi in order to fight against the leader of the thieves, and he stopped moving forward. This move is very inappropriate."
Yuan Shao looked embarrassed, "I also want to attack Luoyang and rescue Your Majesty, but the Mengjin and Xiaopingjin ferry crossings are closely watched by Niu Fu. If I cross the river and fight, I will suffer heavy casualties."
Yuan Shao said this was the reason, but in fact he didn't want to fight at all. Especially after hearing that the camp of Cao Cao and others was burned down by Lu Bu with 500 people, he was even more afraid of the Xiliang army. In addition, he
We don't have many soldiers and horses, and we really don't want to lose them in attacking Dong Zhuo.
If Yuan Shao was determined to fight, how could Xu You and Fengji be unable to do anything? It was just a refusal.
Zhang Mo did not expose him, but followed his words, "General, there is no need to cross the river. I have a plan to lure Niu Fu over."
Niu Fu and Yuan Shao were facing each other across the river. One was really cowardly and the other was pretending to be cowardly. The really cowardly one wanted to make a contribution but had no chance. The cowardly one had a chance but didn't want to act. He wanted Niu Fu to die in battle, so Yuan Shao took the initiative to attack.
Even if the ferry can be captured, it is almost impossible to kill Niu Fu. The only way is to let Niu Fu come over by himself.
Yuan Shao said, "Sir, can you really make him change his defense into offense?"
If this is the case, it would be a good idea to stage a show to discuss Dong's determination.
"General, please wait a few more days for Sun Wentai in the south to defeat Hu Zhen. Then you will transfer Wang Kuang's troops and horses stationed on the other side of Xiaopingjin to Mengjin and make a show of concentrating your forces to prepare for the battle across the river. Then Niu Fu will definitely be unable to hold back.
If you launch a surprise attack on the rear of your army from Xiaopingjin, the general can invite you to enter the urn and wait for your work."
Xu You asked doubtfully, "How do you judge that Sun Wentai can defeat Hu Zhen? What if he loses?"
Zhang Mo looked incomprehensible, "If Sun Wentai loses, Niu Fu will only become more restless."
As a time traveler who is familiar with history, Zhang Mo's biggest advantage is her understanding of the characters of these ancient people. As time goes by, historical events will change because of her and Lu Bu, but people's characters will not change.
, and analyzing the characters of these ancients, judging the choices they might make in a certain matter, and making arrangements in advance, is Zhang Mo's most profound strategy.
When it comes to scheming people's hearts, perhaps there are few strategists in this era who can calculate people's hearts better than Zhang Mo.
Xu You twisted his short beard on his chin and nodded slightly. Indeed, if Sun Jian wins, he can enter through Guangcheng Pass, and then break through Dago Pass to reach Luoyang, threatening the two Yellow River crossings guarded by Niu Fu from behind.
If Niu Fu cannot repel Yuan Shao in the north, he will be attacked from both sides; if Sun Jian loses, Niu Fu will try to sneak attack Yuan Shao's army when he sees Hu Zhen making another military exploit.
Feng Ji asked again, "Even if Sun Jian can advance into Luoyang, if Lu Bu sends troops to stop him at Sishui Pass, Niu Fu will not necessarily be attacked on both sides."
Zhang Mo said, "You may have forgotten that there are still 100,000 troops outside Sishui Pass. At that time, Alliance Leader Yuan only needs to issue an order to go over and let them hold Lu Bu back."
But in fact, even if Yuan Shao did not give Cao Cao and other instructions, Lu Bu would take the initiative at that time, allowing Sun Jian to put pressure on Niu Fu from behind. At that time, Dong Zhuo might personally order Niu Fu to repel Yuan Shao.
"Good!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed, "Sun Wentai has already gone north, and the war in Liang County will begin soon. I will make preparations as your husband said. You will stay here for a few days, and then leave after the outcome of this matter."
Zhang Mo nodded, "The general invites you kindly, and I will stay here for a few days."
Yuan Shao immediately summoned a soldier and solemnly ordered, "Quickly pack up a separate tent for me, sir. All items must be of the best quality."
Zhang Mo thanked him, resigned, and followed the soldiers to his tent.

At Sishui Pass, the cloth Du Fei had just taken out from the small bamboo tube of the eagle's claw was snatched away by Lu Bu. He couldn't wait to spread it and glanced at it, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "It's so audacious, so audacious!"
Lu Bu's eyes were full of anxiety, "You send a message asking her to come back soon. If she doesn't come back, I will personally lead the troops to Hanoi to capture her."
Du Fei looked at the news Zhang Mo sent back and comforted him, "A Mo has always done things in a measured way. If you lead the attack now, her plan will be ruined. She said she will return in a few days. You should believe it."
she."
Zhang Liao followed, "Now that the coalition camp has been stationed in Xingyang, the soldiers and horses at Sishui Pass cannot be moved."
Lu Bu's concern leads to chaos. He also knows that it is unrealistic to lead troops across Hanoi. The most important thing right now is the war in the south. As long as there are results on Hu Zhen and Sun Jian's side, Yuan Shao and Niu Fu in the north will take action. A Mo
You can come back.
"Has Sun Jian made any moves recently?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Liao said, "There has been no movement since arriving in Luyang a few days ago. However, Hu Zhen has been organizing troops and preparing food in Liang County in the past two days. It seems that
Plan to take the initiative."
Hu Zhen's move was expected by Lu Bu. That year when they were competing in a marching speed competition in Yi County, Hu Zhen just felt that he had won a sure victory, so he got carried away and gave Lu Bu a chance to attack. Although Dong Zhuo gave Hu Zhen a serious and sincere lesson, he was still a dog.
He can't change his habit of eating shit, but as long as he wins a battle, he will still feel happy.
Lu Bu has also learned a thing or two about scheming people's hearts over the years.
The last time Lu Bu sent Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to plunder Yingchuan, he wanted Xu Rong to help fight a victorious battle so that Hu Zhen's true colors could be exposed. The two of them went to Yingchuan and came back to solve the problem immediately.
Dong Zhuojun
The food shortage problem can be said to be a great achievement. If Sun Jian can be defeated again, Hu Zhen can be said to be the biggest hero in this battle against the Guandong princes. The limelight will definitely overshadow Lu Bu. How can Hu Zhen hold back?
"Take care of him first. Have someone draw a portrait of Hu Zhen and send it to Sun Jian." Lu Bu tapped his fingers on the table. He had already sent Hu Zhen out of the prison. He hoped that this Jiangdong tiger would not disappoint him.
"No!" Zhang Liao held his hand.
"Wait!" Zhang Liao was about to retreat, but Lu Bu stopped him again.
"We have to find a reason to send Hua Xiong away..."
Since Lu Bu rescued Hua Xiong in Beiman Mountain last time, the relationship between Hua Xiong and Lu Bu has become much closer, and Hua Xiong has a pure warrior character. He will obey anyone who can lead him to victory. He is a person who can be won over.
If Zhen dies, Lu Bu intends to take Hua Xiong for his own use and let him lead the troops left by Hu Zhen.
"How to repel him?" Zhang Liao asked. At this time, Hu Zhen was preparing to go on an expedition, and Hua Xiong was the most capable of his men. It was not easy to repel him.
Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "Just tell him that I have something important to tell him here, and ask him to escort some food and grass over."
