Chapter 719: On the Road

Zhuge Liang didn't doubt Xun Yue's words, although he didn't understand why Xun Yu, who was confined to Jinling by Yuan Shu, would come from afar, but he knew that Xun Yue never lied.

People are old and refined, this sentence is very appropriate for people like Jia Xu and Xun Yue, and their grasp of people's hearts and human nature can be described as terrifying. When Xun Yue was under Liu Bei, he was "suppressed" by Chen Qun and bored, and he had been analyzing Yuan Shu and his civil and military affairs.

Now Yuan Shu's thoughts on Cao Cao are obvious, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Tian Feng and others are in the Central Plains, and the two brothers Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are in the rear. With the mediocre and trouble-fearing personalities of these two brothers, nine times out of ten they can't stand his cousin with excellent ability.

There is no way, peers are enemies, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong don't have the mind to cultivate such a terrifying "enemy" as Xun Yu, it is estimated that it will be annoying to see it. This is also the reason why the two of them have better internal affairs ability than Tian Feng but can only retreat to him, and the amount of equipment is slightly insufficient.

Nine times out of ten, they will be thrown out of this trouble, and most of the place that will be dumped is their place. After all, this is the biggest testing ground in Da Chu, and there is a shortage of manpower.

......

A few days later, as expected, a team sailed into Yizhou, and after a short rest, went straight to Nanban.

"Wen Ruo, how is it?"

On the carriage, Cheng Yu looked at the endless caravans outside the window with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice.

"The wealth of Da Chu is terrifying! We are not unjustly defeated. Xun Yu's face was also full of solemnity.

"It's a pity that Yuan Benchu didn't give me time, otherwise if I gave Wen Ruo a period of time, I might not be able to do this." Cheng Yu said with relief.

The speed of Yuan Shu's development was too fast, but Cao Cao was a little stunted from the beginning, occupying the barren land of Yanzhou, and finally plotted to seize Xuzhou, but the war continued in less than two years. Xun Yu can barely support Cao Cao's logistics work for so many years of conquest, Xun Yu wants to develop internal affairs, but unfortunately it is difficult for Qiao women to cook without rice, and there is no time and money for him to do this.

It's not that Cao Cao doesn't know the importance of developing internal affairs, nor is he inconsiderate of Xun Yu, but he is also forced to be helpless, and has always been afraid of Yuan Shu's growth, so he has always wanted to contain and suppress Yuan Shu, but he didn't succeed and was dragged into the quagmire of war and couldn't extricate himself.

His choice was not wrong, Yuan Shu not only took the lead, but also came up with a stabbing history, holding heavy troops, and also had the wealth support of most of the Yuan family. And he is poor and white, relying on the thousands of young people who have made up his wealth all over the world, it can almost be said that he started from scratch, at most he has the support of the Wei family, and few other families can look up to him.

Xun Yu was able to recommend talents to Cao Cao, but he couldn't conjure money and food for Cao Cao. The Xun family values Xun Yu and is optimistic about Cao Cao, but the family style of the Xun family makes them not put their eggs in the same basket, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and others have bets, and the support they can give Xun Yu is limited. Especially when Yuzhou, where the Xun family is located, is under Liu Bei's command, it is even more impossible to "fund the enemy" under Liu Bei's nose.

It is precisely because of this that Xun Yu has not shown his demeanor as Wang Zuozhi. The ability to do domestic affairs is top-notch, the overall situation is strong, and there is nothing to be done in the face of the absolute gap in strength.

"Zhongde, you don't need to comfort me. I know what I can do, even if I give me ten years, I can't govern the lord to such a situation. Xun Yu said indifferently.

"That's why I'm so defeated." Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "It's not that I lost to Guo Fengxiao, but we are too weak compared to each other, so weak that I feel that all strategies and tactics are so weak." Yuan Highway relied on the development of internal affairs to force us to death. ”

"That's why it's all the more important for us to steal teachers. If we continue to follow our development path, we will never want to see a chance to return here for the rest of our lives. Xun Yu muttered. Here in Yuan Shu, he had a feeling of following Xun Yue to learn from the mountains in the past, and a trace of excitement rose in his heart.

Relying on his ability in internal affairs, he forced Xi Zhicai and these military strategies to defeat themselves without a fight, which is the highest state he pursues. In the past, this seemed to him to be just an illusory thing, but now Yuan Shu has done it hard, how can this not make Xun Yu excited.

During this time, Xun Yu was not idle during the journey, and every time he went to a place, he had to observe and count the local situation, combined with the many pieces he had seen in Jinling, Xun Yu had been able to roughly estimate the national strength of Dachu. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the strength of Da Chu's country. What Xi Zhicai said about being forced to death is not an exaggeration.

Xun Yu even dared to say that even if they won the battle in Qingzhou, as long as Yuan Shu did not die, it would be meaningless. 200,000 elites are not a problem for Da Chu at all, and it will be replenished in half a year at most. This kind of battle is that your side wins ten more times, and it still can't shake the foundation of Great Chu. If Great Chu threw all his national strength into the war, Cao, Yuan, and Liu together would not be opponents at all.

Yuan Shu basically relied on his cheating ability to carry out the royal road to the end, and surrendered without a fight.

"That kid from the Zhuge family seems to be in charge of the affairs of the southwestern countries now. Yuan Highway is really big-hearted, and he lets such a hairy boy manage this place. I'm afraid we will have to deal with him in the future, and it would be better to get to the bottom of him then. ”

Cheng Yu, who has always been loyal to Cao Cao, has a kind of wariness against other people, especially for "enemy" strategists like Zhuge Liang, and his heart is full of malice.

"You don't know Yuan Highway's ability to recognize people, Zhongde, he values this son so much, this son must have extraordinary ability, and I am afraid that he will be an important minister of Great Chu in the future. It's okay to be tempted, it's better not to be too targeted, after all, we will have a subordinate and ally relationship with Da Chu in the future. Xi Zhicai said.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. In any case, they were defeated after all, and they were defeated, and they were able to survive and ensure their independence and the possibility of a comeback, all thanks to the mercy of Yuan Shu's men. With such an experience, even after they broke away from Da Chu, they erected the anti-flag again, they were still inferior, and they were not on the stage at all. If you want to wash all this, you can only develop yourself to recapture the Central Plains and destroy Dachu.

"Zhuge Kongming was cultivated by Yuan Highway as the head of the Wenchen. However, this son has a calm personality, not an arrogant person, and we don't need to be too cautious in our actions, if we can teach him a little lesson, maybe Yuan Highway will thank us! Xun Yu said inexplicably.

"Oh?" Xi Zhicai said thoughtfully: "Wen Ruo, why do you know so much about this? ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly: "Because my brother is assisting him by this son's side." ”

"Brother Zhongyu?" When Xi Zhicai heard this, he immediately thought of a figure in his memory, and asked with a slightly solemn face.

"Not bad."

"He's actually under Yuan Highway?" Xi Zhicai's eyes condensed slightly, and he said in disbelief.

"After Liu Bei's army was defeated, my brother was going to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but Yuan Highway sincerely invited him and forced him to go out of the mountain." Xun Yu said with a little regret.

"Wen Ruo, you and Brother Zhongyu are also teachers and friends, can you bring them here? You know, his ability is far beyond ours! Xi Zhicai said with a serious face and a solemn tone.

"Do you think with my brother's character, he will agree?" Xun Yu smiled slightly bitterly: "What my brother decides, no one can change." ”

Xi Zhi thought of Xun Yue's personality, and sighed slightly: "Then Zhuge Kongming, how can he be assisted, it is a pity that he has to be assisted by Brother Zhongyu!" It is said that Yuan Highway has the ability to recognize people, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that! ”

"Nope." A fine light flashed in Xun Yu's eyes: "Yuan Highway is not wrong, because Zhuge Kongming is worthy of his brother." ”
