Chapter two hundred and fifty-four victory has been achieved
.Chapter 254: The victory has been achieved
Before Fang Zhiwen received Lu Bu's letter, he had already learned about the problems facing Lu Bu from the Zhen family's intelligence network and Li Xueyin's intelligence and speculation.
In fact, if Lu Bu knew what would happen in the next two years, he would definitely not be troubled by the people who came to occupy the territory now, and might even drink happily to celebrate. In Fang Zhiwen's view, these aristocratic tribes who came to take advantage of Lu Bu's territory, when the Yellow Turbans began to rag, were all transport brigades that gave Lu Bu people and wealth...
At that time, there will be no question of whether it is righteous or not. It depends on the military's speech, and it belongs to the era of warlords, not the era of aristocratic families.
However, the reply to Lu Bu made Fang Zhiwen hesitate. Should he give Lu Bu this idea, or would he make Lu Bu have a quarrel with the aristocratic family now?
In theory, Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen will not have any direct relationship. Even in the future, Lu Bu will not focus his attention on Fengning County or Fang Zhiwen. Fang Zhiwen has no idea of Bingzhou or even the Central Plains, so he will not have any conflict with Lu Bu at all.
The reason why Fang Zhiwen enthusiastically made friends with Lu Bu and even helped Lu Bu capture the territory in the northern part of Bingzhou was, on the one hand, because he wanted to get to know and make friends with Lu Bu, which was purely a bit like chasing stars. Of course, Lu Bu himself is indeed a hero worth making friends.
Another meaning is naturally to gain benefits in the process of Lu Bu's attack on the Xianbei people, which include population and wealth, as well as the training of the troops and generals.
The last reason is naturally to let Lu Bu share the pressure from the Xianbei people on Fengning County. Otherwise, Fang Zhiwen was not so arrogant as to use Fengning County to fight against the Hu tribe on the entire grassland.
Judging from these reasons, Fang Zhiwen and Lu Bu's interactions are optional, but there is no better cooperative relationship. At least it will benefit both parties. As for whether they are divided, they are harmful to each other.
Whether Lu Bu can stand firm in the north of Bingzhou and leave a way out for the future battle for hegemony in the Central Plains is not of any substantial benefit to Fang Zhiwen himself. However, with the idea of dismembering the future major forces of the Three Kingdoms, the long-term existence of Lu Bu's power is very meaningful. What's more interesting is that the position of Bingzhou will be on the back of Yuan Shao in the future, together with Youzhou, forming a downward attitude towards Yuan Shao's power. In the northeast of the Han Dynasty, a small pattern of Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou will be formed. This diversified pattern is pursued by Fang Zhiwen. Therefore, the stability of Lu Bu's power will be beneficial to Fang Zhiwen in the long run.
After carefully measuring the gains and losses, Fang Zhiwen wrote a simple reply to Lu Bu and invited Lu Bu to return to Xinghe as soon as possible to discuss the strategy of attacking Danhan Mountain.
....................................................................................
"Wen Yuan, what does Zhiwen mean by this letter? 'Land can be granted as much as possible, only military power cannot be granted lightly. We should accumulate strength and wait for the time of the day', does Zhiwen mean that this great man is going to change the world!?"
In fact, the Han imperial power is gradually declining, and anyone with eyes knows that the problem is what to do if you know. Now the power of the aristocratic clans is so great that it is impossible to overthrow these aristocratic clans that occupy most of the country. Therefore, it is easy for Lu Bu to understand that Fang Zhiwen is waiting for the times, and he will not feel that Fang Zhiwen is alarmist at all.
Zhang Liao did not answer immediately, but thought carefully. The tent suddenly became quiet, with only the slight pyroporous sound from the burning of the firewood in the brazier.
Lu Bu was not in a hurry to urge him. There were still a few people marching and fighting under Lu Bu’s tent, but only Zhang Liao and Lu Bu wanted to find a master to help, but it was rare. Moreover, Lu Bu was qualified to open a government office, so it took time to recruit staff.
"Brother, the meaning of Zhiwen's later sentence is very clear, which is what you think. In this way, it will be easier to reverse the previous meaning. If Zhiwen thinks that the world will change greatly, then brother, do you think if the world turns over, how can we gain a foothold?"
Lu Bu's eyes flickered and he frowned, "We should stand up with our strength and courage in troubled times, and promote a strong army to achieve great achievements!"
"That's right! But strong soldiers do not fall from the sky, but recruit from the people. Through hard training, they also need sufficient money, food and equipment to support them. These are inseparable from two things, population and territory. Zhiwen's meaning is probably to let us fatten the aristocratic races for the time being. When the world is upside down, we will take these populations and resources into our own use."
Lu Bu was stunned, then his eyes shone, he raised his head and laughed: "Like a pig in the circle! Zhiwen is so thoughtful! What a pity, what a pity!"
"What a pity for brother? Isn't it a pity that Zhiwen can't be used by brother?"
"Haha, Wenyuan! Are you flattering your elder brother? What a person Zhiwen is, how can you say what you can use for me? I'm just a pity that Zhiwen does not seem to have the ambition to reign with the world, otherwise with his courage, he might not be able to compete for the Central Plains!"
"How can my brother know?"
"Haha, of course he told me himself. Zhiwen once said that his wish is to settle down and make a living."
"Stay in peace? Make your life?" Zhang Liao frowned vigorously, thinking about Fang Zhiwen's ambition. Zhang Liao believed that Fang Zhiwen could see through the essence of this world better than himself and Lu Bu. Otherwise, there would be no need to ask Fang Zhiwen for advice if he couldn't figure it out. However, it was such a wise man who said that his ambition was "a warm-hearted bed for his wife and children".
Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu. Maybe Lu Bu, a more straightforward person, would believe Fang Zhiwen, but Zhang Liao didn't believe it very much. Smart people are more suspicious.
....................................................................................................
The sudden disappearance of Kirbyn and the chaos within the Huns were definitely a heavy blow to the Xianbei royal court. And Lian's original high spirit has basically disappeared. Now he is no longer considering defeating Lu Bu's Bingzhou army and suppressing the Han army back to the south of the Great Wall, but how to protect the old nest of Danhan Mountain.
Kirby's departure made the flanks of Danhan Mountain completely exposed to Lu Bu. Lu Bu established a forward base on the west side of Danhan Mountain with Wuyao and Dingxiang as the basis. On the front, the Han army attack group with Xinghe County as the base, and the other flank was exposed to the Yiren troops of Yongning County, Fengning County because of the abandonment of Yuanhu Camp. In other words, Danhan Mountain is now attacked by enemies on three sides. Even if the Han army does not launch a strong attack, it will gradually erode and annex it with Wuyao, Dingxiang, Xinghe and Yongning as the basis. Sooner or later, Danhan Mountain will not be able to hold on.
Although Helian is a guy with great ambition and talent, he still has basic vision. Now he wants to keep Danhan Mountain, unless he unites the entire Xianbei tribe, the reality of the Xianbei is that the eastern part is completely divided by Fengning County, and the western part is restrained by the Han army in Liangzhou. Everyone is too busy to take care of themselves. Who has the energy to take care of Danhan Mountain? It is no wonder that Kirby has left quietly. Now Helian is also trying to retreat north.
Retreat to the north of Yinshan and use Yinshan as a defensive position to resist the northern invasion of the Han people. This idea was repeatedly discussed in the Helian tent. Helian knew very well what his subordinates meant, but north of Yinshan was the territory of Queju. If you want to gain a foothold north of Yinshan, you either swallow Queju or Queju.
He Lian repeatedly urged Queju to send troops to help defend Tanhan Mountain, not because he really wanted to defend Tanhan Mountain, but because he wanted to consume Queju's strength. As for Murong, he was just a tying partner.
But Que Ju and Murong Han are not fools, and He Lian’s small abacus is not very complicated. No one can understand that Que Ju and Murong Ken sent troops to come, but they did not have any kindness.
At the critical moment of the survival of the Xianbei people, these Xianbei leaders were still exhausted from intrigue and strife, and the internal strife was very happy. Not to mention that the Han people could make jokes, the biggest reason why Kirby could quietly leave was probably the only reason.
....................................................................................
Following Fang Zhiwen's advice, Lu Bu handed over all the county seats of the seven counties including Wuyao, Dingtao, Wujin, Chengle, Wucheng, Luoxian, Tongcheng, etc. in Dingxiang County, except Dingxiang City, to Dingyuan's original appointment and removal, but the condition was that the military officers must be appointed by Lu Bu, which was considered a transaction. Lu Bu's request was not excessive, and this did not conflict with the expectations of the aristocratic clans, so the two sides quickly reached a deal.
The Huns who were entrenched in Yunzhong and Shuofang County were in a serious internal strife at this moment, and Kirby could disappear, the Huns immediately became honest. The two Xiongnu wise kings rushed to send people to Luoyang to get the appointment of the Emperor of Han to take over the Shanyu, so they were very honest about Dingxiang's actions.
As one goes up and down, the players' starting bases quickly expanded from the newly expanded Wuhai County in the north to several counties in Dingxiang, forming a siege against the Southern Xiongnu. The Huns even felt that the number of aliens in the territory of the Huns was greater than that of the Huns. At this time, the Huns began to become scared and immediately understood Kirby's eagerness to escape overnight.
Lu Bu relieved his worries and returned to Xinghe to talk with Fang Zhiwen. He agreed to the strategy of Danhan Mountain, mainly attacking the reinforcements of Queju and Murong's troops. In cooperation with Helian's intention, he forced Helian to retreat to the north of Yinshan. Lu Bu even sent someone to send a letter to Helian, asking Helian to push the reinforcements of Queju and Murong's troops to die. Helian naturally refused sternly, but every time he went to war, Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen would definitely be able to catch the Xianbei people of Queju and Murong's troops and beat him hard.
Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen were not in a hurry to destroy Queju at once. Even if He Lian wanted to gain a foothold north of Yinshan, he would not let him leave with all his strength. This is Lu Bu's plan for Fang Zhiwen. As for how much he could take away, it depends on their respective abilities.
As for Yiren, Lu Bu hinted that the territory north of Yinshan and north of Jining could be tried to be controlled by Yiren. This temptation is great, making the majority of players' forces like chicken blood, and the Xianbei people who play the sweat mountain are getting harder and harder.
Seeing that the overall situation of the Yanmen battle was settled, Fang Zhiwen had the idea of returning to Miyun. It was actually useless for him to stay in Bingzhou. In fact, Zhao Yun played a much greater role than Fang Zhiwen when fighting outside. Fang Zhiwen’s purpose in Bingzhou was to coordinate the relationship between Lu Bu. The situation is clear now, and Fang Zhiwen has no reason to continue staying in Bingzhou.
