Chapter 623 I’m Placing a Single Blessing
"Hehe, Puyang is quite interesting. It really makes me look forward to Liu Yuqing, whom I have never met before." Shan Fu chuckled and lay down.
"tomorrow."
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
It was still early, so Shan Fu stretched himself, washed his face with water from a bucket, had breakfast in the shop, and then led his horse out.
"Hey, guest."
As soon as he walked out of the threshold, Shan Fu was stopped. When he looked back, he saw that it was the waiter.
"Sir," the waiter caught up and asked, "Did you sleep satisfactorily last night? Do you want to stay in the shop tonight?"
"Haha, I'm satisfied, but I don't have to do it tonight."
Shan Fu smiled slightly, and then led the horse out.
The waiter shook his head sadly, muttered a few words, turned around and walked in.
At this time, outside General Pingdong's mansion.
"I'm sending you Shanfu, and I'd like to see you in Pingdong."
Shan Fu led the horse and said to the porter.
"Who are you and why do you want to see my general?" The concierge frowned when he saw Shan Fu's shabby appearance.
Shan Fu smiled and said: "There will be great changes in Yanzhou. I have come here specially to help Yu Pingdong solve his problems. Please inform me."
"Big change? Humph." The concierge sneered, "Just wait."
Shan Fu was neither arrogant nor impatient. He stood there with the horse and waited quietly. Not long after, the concierge came out with a strange look on his face: "Go in, you're lucky, my general is willing to meet you, but don't be alarmist, General Yu is the general that the general relies on most, be careful to kill you." .”
After listening to the concierge's words, Shan Fu just smiled and said nothing.
Walking to the courtyard in front of the hall, the porter reached out and took the horse's reins and said to him: "My general is waiting in the study room. You can go in. Remember, be careful what you say."
Shan Fu nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked inside.
"I met General Pingdong when I was in Shanfu."
"Well, sir, please get up." A gentle voice came. Shan Fu looked up and was indeed slightly surprised. Because the man in front of him was dressed plainly, was seven feet tall, and his facial features were not outstanding, and even a little ordinary, it was difficult to recognize him in a crowd of people.
It is a bit hard to imagine that this is Liu Ye who relied on him for help and was praised by Liu Ye as "a certain general will ride and Wen will be a foot soldier, and he will be able to run rampant in the world." He is known as Liu Ye's first general, the one who dominates one area alone. The ban?
As if seeing the confusion in Shan Fu's eyes, Yu Jin laughed: "A certain person is not outstanding in bravery and cannot be compared with Jun Yi, Meng Qi and others, but he is good at marching and forming formations. The general also knows this, so he reuses a certain person." .”
Shan Fu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, lowered his head and said: "General Yu is calm in his military use and uses the style of an ancient famous general. How dare I try to figure it out?"
"Haha, you're welcome, sir. Please sit down."
Yu Jin opened his mouth and smiled, then knelt down on the ground and stretched out his hand to signal Shan Fu to sit down. After both of them sat down, Yu Jin didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point: "I have been ordered by the general to guard Yanzhou. I must have something important to do here. Please speak frankly and don't waste our time."
"It's easy to say." Seeing Yu Jin's straightforwardness, Shan Fu also said happily: "I am here to serve the general and shogunate and serve the imperial court."
"Oh, that's it." Yu Jin nodded and said, "I wonder where you are from, who you are, and what you have learned?"
"I was born in Nanyang County, Jingzhou. I studied at Lumen Academy and studied under Pang Degong. I have learned a lot. I know a little bit about the art of war, battle formations, and Confucian principles."
After hearing this, Yu Jin's eyes lit up: "It turns out that Mr. Pang is a disciple of Duke Pang. I'm disrespectful."
Pang Degong was well-known and knowledgeable, and was admired by many people.
Shan Fu waved his hand: "I am not using my mentor as my mentor to promote myself, but I just don't want to hide it from the general. I hope that General Yu will not look down on me because of my mentor."
Yu Jin laughed loudly: "Everyone in the world seeks famous teachers to raise their own status, but my husband does not want to mention it. It is really admirable."
"Haha, a famous teacher may not produce a good disciple. If I lose the face of my teacher, I will be guilty."
"Yes." Yu Jin was quite approving and asked: "By the way, my concierge just came to report that there was a great change in Yanzhou. Could you please explain me?"
"My humble opinion, general, please listen to it."
Shan Fu straightened his upper body and said loudly: "The general announced to the world a month ago that he would assemble the army to fight Yuan Shao and Wuhuan's coalition forces under Yecheng. The general naturally has a long-term vision and intends to conquer Hebei in one battle. He has great ambitions. However, Although the outcome of this battle is uncertain, no matter the outcome, it will destabilize the world."
"In the battle of Yecheng, if the general goes forward and defeats the 100,000 troops of Wuhuan and Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, even if he wins, he will be seriously injured. And the other princes will definitely be ready to make a move, and the first to bear the brunt is Cao Cao! "
Shan Fu said bluntly: "Although Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu were allies, they were actually the same bedfellows, each with their own ulterior motives. Previously, Yuan Shao invited Cao Cao to send troops to attack the general, but Cao Cao did not send troops on the border between Chen Bingyan and Xu. He just echoed Yuan Shaoyuan. It’s about preserving strength.”
"Both are allies, the contrast between Liu Biao and Cao Cao is worlds apart." Shan Fu continued: "Before Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, he appointed Cai Mao as the commander-in-chief, commanded 40,000 troops, and attacked Nanyang with great fanfare. Although he was defeated, he paid a lot. On the other hand, Cao Cao did not move his troops, which can be seen from this."
"If the battle of Yecheng ends, Cao Cao will definitely invade our Yanzhou. Cao Cao's army occupies Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and controls Huainan. There are hundreds of thousands of troops. If Cao Cao attacks with all his strength, even if General Yu holds on, he will be under great pressure. Moreover, Cao Cao has always known soldiers, and he has many wise men and brave generals under his command.”
"As for the general, if he is unfortunately defeated, I'm afraid the consequences will be even more serious." Shan Fu said seriously: "If the general is defeated, Yuan Shao will definitely fight back with all his strength, lead his army to annex the state, and move south to the Central Plains, Yanzhou will be the key point. So. And Cao Cao will definitely take advantage of the situation to advance, and attack Yuan Shao from both sides. Maybe people like Sun Ce and Liu Biao will take advantage of the situation and advance."
"If this happens, won't our Yanzhou undergo great changes?" Shan Fu stood up and said seriously.
Yu Jin's eyes were shining brightly, he stood up, bent down and bowed down: "Sir, you are really a great talent, please accept Yu Jin and bow down."
Just now, Shan Fu pointed out the world. In his words, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty were displayed in front of Yu Jin like a map. His words had the momentum of guiding the country, which naturally shocked Yu Jin.
"Therefore, I also ask the general to prepare for war and order the troops in Yanzhou to repair the city and prepare for the war." Shan Fu said.
