Chen Gong said to Lu Bu his second thought: "If we unite with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to govern Huainan together, then the next step is to ask the potters to borrow a few county seats, that is, the county towns of Bennan headed by Yichun County to the west of Yuzhang."

Lu Bu was very puzzled when he heard this, and said strangely: "Yuzhang County is a poor country, if we have Huainan, what do we need to do with those broken county seats?"

Chen Gong explained to Lu Bu: "Although Yuzhang County is poor and Huainan is rich, if we can borrow a few county towns south of Yichun, we can have a strategic direction that is to march to the South China Sea, so that we have a strategic depth, and with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's ideas, they must be planning to send troops to Jiangxia and seize Jingnan, which can not only develop their own strength, but also revenge Sun Jian, but Liu Biao is not an idle person, if this strategy does not work, we have to find a way again, and if the strategy of attacking Jingnan can work, Cultivating Jingnan, Nanhai County, and Cangwu County together is also a good strategic depth with many benefits. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly realized, nodded and said, "That's the best!" In the future, I need the public station to plan carefully for me. ”

……

Soon after, Lü Bu's side received a message from an envoy sent by Sun Ce, and the plan of the three families to conspire with Yuan Shu began to be implemented.

With Zhou Yu and Chen Gong here, the cooperation between Lu Bujun and Sun Cejun can be long-lasting, although the temper of the two lords of the two families is not very good.

In the potter's mind, what if one day, the military advisors of these two families are gone?

Diplomacy requires brains, not courage.

Sima Yi brought back Lu Bu's request to borrow Yichun County and other western counties of Yuzhang after the matter was completed.

The seventeen county towns are all poor counties in the south, and the population is not large, so it is indeed worthless to come, and it is not difficult to give Lu Bu a pour.

But with the knowledge of potters, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Chen Deng and others, they naturally won't see it so shallowly.

Next, it was up to these people to discuss whether to borrow or not.

Zhuge Liang and Chen Deng's meaning is obvious, the matter of raising a thief should not be too much, once the thief is raised to a tail that cannot be lost, it is inevitably a little suspicious of being cocooned and self-bound.

But this time, Sima Yi had refuted the opinions of the potters and Zhuge Liang with his vicious vision.

Sima Yi believes that since he has decided to support these two people as a screen, he will do his best to support them, and his attitude of being both useful and suspicious will only backfire, and when the time comes, he will embark on the old road of Yuan Shu.

Moreover, Sima Yi believes that Chen Gong's strategy, if successful, will ostensibly increase the territory and population taxes of Lü Bu and Sun Ce, but at the same time, it will also sink their soldiers and horses deep into the barren territory of Lingnan.

Nanhai County, and Cangwu Army and other places have a vast area, and most of them are mountainous areas with fierce beasts, and there are even no roads in some places, and there are many barbarians, which are more difficult to do than the Shanyue in Danyang and the Baiyue in the southeast
