Attack Jingzhou first!?

As soon as these astonishing words came out, not only Huang Quan and other ministers were quite surprised, but even Gou Jian, the king of Dashu, was also slightly surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Xiaozhi, before, you formulated a strategy for this king to take Hanzhong first, and then take Guanlong, imitating the strategy of strengthening Qin and unifying the world, why do you now let this king take Jingzhou?" Gou Jian asked suspiciously.

Fa Zheng walked out of the hall and said slowly: "The strategy formulated by the minister for the king has not changed, but no matter how big the strategy is, it should be appropriately adjusted according to the current situation, otherwise blind and rigid implementation will only be counterproductive." ”

Gou Jian's eyes moved slightly, nodded, and motioned for him to continue.

Fa Zheng said loudly: "Previously, our strategy was based on the premise of the juxtaposition of the Seven Kingdoms, and the pottery merchants attacked and destroyed the Jin State, and the strength has increased greatly, and now the Chu State is destroyed, the strength is even more explosive. ”

"So!"

Fa Zheng's tone suddenly increased, "From a long-term perspective, the biggest problem we are facing now is not how to capture Guanlong, but how to weaken the Wei State and prevent it from being so strong that it cannot compete with the strength of our countries." ”

"Well, that makes sense, keep talking." Gou Jian nodded, as if he had realized a little.

Then, Fa Zheng said: "As for the destruction of Qin, although it is strategically good, but through our previous confrontation with Cao Cao, the king should also be able to see that Cao Cao is extremely capable of using troops, and the national strength of Qin is comparable to ours, and it is not easy to destroy Qin in such a situation of equal strength." ”

As he spoke, Fa Zheng raised his hand to the east again, "Therefore, we must improve our national strength to have the possibility of destroying the Qin State, and Jingzhou is a place rich in products and a large population, if this state can be included in my Dashu territory, our country's strength will definitely skyrocket, and then with the troops of Jingshu and Shu Prefectures, we will attack Qin in the north, so that we will have a greater chance of victory." ”

Fa Zhengyang sprinkled his words and explained his strategy.

Gou Jian nodded again and again when he listened, thought it was true, and kept saying: "Filial piety is reasonable, and what is said is reasonable." ”

"However, the pottery merchant has now won Jingzhou, although he led the main force to return north, but also left tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals stationed in Jingzhou, with the strength of my country, if you want to swallow Jingzhou, will it be easier than taking Guanlong?" Huang Quan questioned.

"With the strength of my country, it is obviously unrealistic to seize Jingzhou, but don't forget that I am not the only country that covets Jingzhou." There is a bit of mystery in Fa Zheng's words.

Huang Quan was stunned, and failed to comprehend the meaning of Fazheng for a while.

Gou Jian's eyes suddenly burst out with surprise, "Xiaozhi, what do you mean, invite Sun Ce, the king of Wu, to send troops and attack Jingzhou from the upstream and downstream with this king?" ”

"The king is wise." Fa Zheng praised it, "Jingzhou is a dispensable place for my Dashu, but for Sun Ce, it is located in the upper reaches, and it is a place for him to fight, as long as we invite each other to send troops, I am not afraid that Sun Ce will not send troops, and when we are flanked, are we afraid that we will not be able to take Jingzhou?" ”

Gou Jian's eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had seen a broad blueprint from Fa Zheng's proposal.

"Xiaozhi, you also said that Jingzhou is a battleground for the Wu State, even if we join forces with the troops of the two countries and take Jingzhou, won't Sun Ce fight against us." Huang Quan asked rhetorically.

Fa Zheng smiled disapprenously, "I also said that Jingzhou has an upstream trend in Wu State, and when we divide Jingzhou with them, this upstream trend will turn to our side, even if Sun Ce turns his face against us, what is there to fear." ”

Huang Quan was speechless for a while, and had nothing to say.

At this time, Gou Jian suppressed his excitement and said worriedly: "Sun Ce's troops are inevitable, but filial piety, don't forget, we still have a big enemy Cao Cao in the north, but he has always coveted my Hanzhong, if this king sends troops to attack Jingzhou, what if he takes the opportunity to invade?" This king doesn't want to get caught up in a two-front dilemma. ”

Only at this time, Fa Zheng's brows froze slightly, and then he sneered again: "What's so difficult about this, the king only needs to send an envoy to Chang'an, shake hands with Cao Cao, make peace with him, show him the benefits, and invite him to send troops to attack Wei in the east, so that not only can we contain some of the potters' troops, but also enable us to remove the threat from the north, so that we can concentrate on attacking Jingzhou, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Hyo-nao, are you joking?" Huang Quan finally caught the loophole again, and immediately retorted: "Then Cao Cao is not a fool, how could he mobilize his own army to attack the pottery merchants and help us capture Jingzhou, how is this possible." ”

Fa Zheng smiled confidently, "Just because Cao Cao is not a fool, he should understand the truth that the pottery merchant is the number one enemy of our four countries, I believe that as long as we send a person who can speak well, we will be able to persuade Cao Cao to call in our army?" ”

"A man of good speech?" Huang Quan frowned deeply, "I have lived in Yizhou for many years, and I haven't found out that there is a good debater in our Shu Kingdom who can complete such an almost impossible task. ”

At this time, Gou Jian also nodded, "Xiaozhi, since you have offered this strategy, you must have a suitable candidate in your heart." ”

Fa Zheng cleared his throat and said with a straight face: "Just when I went out to inspect the counties, I met a small official in Guanghan County, who claimed to be called Mao Sui, and he was discussing the affairs of the world with him, and found that this person was a rare eloquent talent in the world, and he was recommended to use him as a lobbyist to lobby Cao Cao, and he would be able to succeed immediately." ”

Mao Sui!?

Hearing this name, from Gou Jian to Huang Quan and other important ministers, all of them were shocked, and they were all surprised by this familiar name.

"Mao Sui? Isn't that the name of the ancients, why are there some people in our Dashu who sell their reputations, learn from the potters, and give themselves the name of the ancients? Huang Quan looked a little scoffing.

Fa Zheng didn't think so at all, but said confidently: "The name is just a symbol, it doesn't matter what it's called, this person dares to change his name Mao Sui, which shows that he has absolute confidence in his eloquence." ”

"What Xiaozhi said also makes sense." Gou Jian nodded slightly, and his expression suddenly became solemn, "Xiaozhi, is this Mao Sui really that powerful?" ”

Fa Zheng arched his hand, and said: "I dare to vouch for Mao Sui, with this person as an envoy, I will be able to persuade Cao Cao!" ”

Seeing that Fa Zheng was so confident, Gou Jian did not hesitate anymore, and immediately took the case, and said proudly: "Okay, according to the plan of filial piety, send Mao Sui to envoy Qin State, lobby Cao Cao to send troops to Wei State, and then send an envoy to Wu State, and invite Sun Ce, the king of Wu, to send troops, attack from east to west, and carve up Jingzhou!" ”

……

Chang'an, the palace of the king of Qin.

In the main hall, the civil and military personnel of the Qin State were also discussing, and the entire court hall was filled with a suppressive and solemn atmosphere.

"I didn't expect that Liu Biao's father and son were so useless, and in less than half a year, they were destroyed by pottery thieves, waste, what a waste......"

Cao Cao threw the piece of silk information on the Wang case, shook his head again, sighed, and hated it.

"It stands to reason that even if the pottery thief is fierce on land, but Jingzhou is a place with a dense network of rivers and Han rivers after all, and water warfare is the king, Liu Biao has a strong naval army, and Sun Ce helps, how can he be destroyed so easily, this is too incredible......"

Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu, looking at the pieces of information, the eyes that saw the heavens, were also filled with deep confusion.

"The minister thinks that the pottery thief is really powerful to sweep away Jing Chu, but the most important thing why he was able to do it is not that he really surpassed the two kingdoms of Wu and Chu in the water battle, but luck!" At the bottom of the stairs, Guo Jia's argument is different.

The words are amazing, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State do not change color.

Cao Cao immediately questioned: "Why did Feng Xiao say this? ”

Guo Jia picked up a piece of information about the Battle of Chibi, and said loudly: "King, please look at this Battle of Chibi, the pottery thief is indeed extremely treacherous, and he has seen through the deception of the Wu-Chu coalition army, but even so, if it is a critical moment, the southeast wind suddenly turns into a northwest wind, how can the pottery thief burn most of the warships of the Wu-Chu coalition army in one go, if not, even if Liu Biao is killed, but Wu still holds the right to control the water in Jingzhou, coupled with Huang Zu and Liu Qi's partial army, it is not easy for the pottery thief to completely annex Jingzhou. ”

Guo Jiayang sprinkled his words, as if he had broken through the mystery, and greatly dispelled the fear in the hearts of the civil and military ministers of the Qin State that the pottery merchants swept away the Chu State and the prestige was shocked.

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, in the battle of Chibi, the pottery thief has indeed taken advantage of the heavenly opportunity......" Cao Cao stroked his short beard, shook his head and sighed, in his words, the fear of the pottery merchant has been reduced a lot.

Xun Yu said: "Even so, but now the pottery thief has indeed captured Jingzhou, and his strength has exploded, so he must not be underestimated." ”

"Although the potter's strength has increased greatly, he has also planted a curse for himself." The corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised a sarcastic sneer.

"Bane?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, "How do you say this?" ”

Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "The pottery thief captured Jingzhou, which is equivalent to hanging a knife above Sun Ce's head and setting up a cold arrow behind Liu Zhang's back. ”

Taking a breath, Guo Jia pointed to the north again, "Now Liu Bei has defeated Gongsun Du, recovered Wuhuan, married Xianbei, and greatly increased his strength, I believe that he will also go south in a big way, the pottery thief is to get a Jingzhou, but will soon face the siege of the kings, this time the kingdoms of Wei, I believe that the pottery thief will lose more than what he has gained." ”

The words swept away the haze in Cao Cao's heart, and suddenly made him energetic, his eyes moved around the map, thinking about Guo Jia's judgment over and over again, and his eyes gradually ignited a trace of excitement.

"Then in the opinion of filial piety, what should this king do?"

"It's very simple, sit back and wait for the best time to send troops, and then decide whether to attack Wei or attack Shu."

The voice fell, and the soldiers outside the hall hurriedly entered, and arched their hands: "Your lord, the envoy of Shu is already outside the palace, asking to see the king." ”
