The coaches of both Poison and Guishan are capable and famous, experienced and have a strong sense of the overall situation, even Zhou Yu recognizes his ability. It is absolutely no exaggeration for the two to be called the pillars of the country.

But alas, they are enemies. Keeping these two people is a great threat to Da Chu, so there is no need for Sima Yi to say more, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang have already killed the two.

Although these two commanders are both military achievements and brave loyalty, they are reused by poison and Guishan and serve as commanders. But in reality, the attitude towards these two people in the two countries is extremely delicate.

Just like Zhao Gou and Qin Hui to Yue Fei, the situation is even more complicated. The internal struggle between the two countries was fierce, and loyalists such as Murvardi and Sugdi were mostly suppressed because of political insensitivity and unwillingness to compromise, and most of the people at the top were good at infighting. These people were extremely disgusted with Sugdi and Murvardi, and even wished that they would be defeated and die. If it weren't for the support of the royal families of the two countries, I'm afraid there would have been a problem a long time ago.

But even the royal families of the two countries don't have a good impression of these two, and they only think of using them. When it is used up, I am afraid that it will give the two of them a Yue Fei-style ending like Zhao Gou.

From the perspective of Da Chu, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were extremely happy to see this situation, and even let the people lurking in the two countries continue to fuel the flames and exacerbate the contradictions.

No matter how powerful a country is, once the internal strife is fierce, it is not far from decline and destruction. The famous generals on the front line fought with elite soldiers, and the infighting among the royal ministers in the rear dragged them back. The fall of the Song Dynasty was definitely not wronged, and there were basically few emperors and ministers who did not lag behind.

Not to mention the heroic kings of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, as long as he can not cause chaos to the front-line soldiers, the battle will not be like that. Temporary micro-operation, thousands of miles away array command; The enemy soldiers approached the city, and let the god stick pretending to be a god and ghost open the city gate to retreat from the enemy. This kind of absurd behavior is simply outrageous.

Even if you let a pig command, it is better than these emperors and ministers. If you don't help, forget it, and add countless messes, and those who don't know think that our emperor's ministers are all spies on the other side.

"What is the situation now?" Although Lu Xun is not a pedantic person, he has always been disgusted with these scheming things, and he has always stayed away.

"The situation between the two sides has been stalemate, and in general, the body poison is on the offensive, Guishan is on the defensive, and the strength of the two sides is equal." Zhou Yu said.

"There are many poisonous soldiers, so there are many guerrilla divisions. However, there are quite a few elephant riders, so there is no lack of attacking strength, which should not be underestimated. And Guishan occupies a favorable location, and the city is strong and well-armed, and there are many fine horses, so it is safe to protect itself. ”

"Huh?" When Lu Xun heard this, his brows furrowed: "That's not right." Why is Guishan on the defensive? The elite soldiers have a large number of elite horsemen, wouldn't it be better to smash the Yellow Dragon and attack the poisonous hinterland than to waste it here? ”

"Militarily speaking, it is. But in fact, the situation of the body poison is much more complicated than we thought, and the more than 300,000 troops of Guishan who are not extinguished by the body poison cannot attack at all. Zhuge Liang said.

"How?"

"The situation of poisoning is quite special, like the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and their territory is not completely controlled by their royal family. The area under the king's control was less than a third of the territory in the southeast. Elsewhere there are warlords, many of whom are ambitious and do not listen to propaganda. ”

"In particular, the current poison king lacks prestige, low ability, and has poor control over the country. These territories adjacent to the Kushan border are all occupied by the poisonous warlords, and they also have a lot of hidden power. ”

"If Guishan takes the initiative to attack, it is necessary to capture the territory of these warlords in order to directly attack Huanglong. In this case, the local separatist forces will definitely resist stubbornly, which will cause great damage to Guishan. Moreover, it is beneficial and harmless for body poison. Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

After carefully studying the situation between Guishan and the body poison, Zhuge Liang understood why the two countries, with such a big difference in strength, could stalemate for so many years, and the body poison occupied the offensive.

On the surface, it seems to be a war between the two countries, but in fact it is a competition between several forces. Militarily speaking, it is divided into five major forces, and if it is further subdivided, there are countless of them.

The poisonous side is mainly the royal family and local separatist forces, while the Kushan side is the northern army, the southern army and the royal family.

The five parties have their own minds and involve each other, which is why they can stalemate for such a long time.

The current situation is that the poisonous royal army and the southern army of Kushan are fighting together. The former aims to achieve a great victory, to stabilize the royal position, to deter the locality, and finally to regain the lost territory. The latter, on the other hand, is bent on self-preservation and has no intention of attacking at all. The idea of the managers of both sides is actually nothing more than wishful thinking.

The purpose and the complexity of the situation are the key reasons for the stalemate.

"So where is this war going? Wouldn't that be fruitless? Lu Xun couldn't help but say.

He could not have imagined that the two sides would launch such a fruitless war for the sake of political struggle, and that the interests of the country and the lives of the military and civilians would be completely at stake.

"Lust for profit. Rights, sometimes it's just that scary. For the sake of power, the decline of the state is ignored. However, there are no eggs under the nest, what is the good ending in the end? Zhuge Liang glanced at Sima Yi and said meaningfully.

Sima Yi's originally gloomy face became more and more ugly, and his heart was full of entanglement.

Is it really right to do whatever it takes for the sake of rights?

is also a usurper, but Sima's reputation is much worse than Cao Wei's. In later generations, the Sima clan of the Jin Dynasty was pointed to the backbone and scolded for thousands of years, why? Not just because of the usurpation of the throne, not just because of the chaos of China, but because he made a very bad opening and broke the political rules.

The success of Sima's usurpation of the throne was entirely the result of the struggle for power, and his virtue was not worthy of the throne, and his merits and virtues were not worthy of the throne at all. Cao Wei really conquered the world and stabilized the country. Although the Sima clan also has merits, it is not enough to be called an emperor, so who will be convinced?

How the three kingdoms fought at the end of the Han Dynasty, they all had their bottom line. In the face of foreign races, they all went all out to suppress and maintain the orthodoxy of the Han people. To put it simply, it is a fight about the rules, outsiders must be killed, and then fight internally. And Sima is doing everything for the sake of power, devoting himself to the struggle, completely ignoring everything else, and not paying attention to the rules at all.

At this time, Sima Yi, although his personality has begun to appear as a hawk and a wolf, after all, he is still young, his ambition has not yet reached that point, and he still has a little righteousness in his heart.

The impact of the environment on people is huge, if there is a right path to take, how many people will choose to take risks, choose the impossible and extremely risky crooked road?

When Sima Yi came to the southwestern countries, he understood the meaning of Yuan Shu and made certain psychological preparations.

If he wants to be reused, he must let go of the distractions in his heart, like the three people present, and take the road of loyal and virtuous ministers. is pretending, he also has to pretend to be a virtuous minister, not to mention pretending to be a lifetime, at least until after Yuan Shu dies.

Just like Liu Bei, whether it is true benevolence or false benevolence, before occupying Yizhou Jingzhou and having a solid foundation, he must show his benevolence and virtue. Sima Yi is also ready to pretend to be a virtuous minister for a lifetime, after all, he will not have such great ambitions for no reason before he reaches that step. Now there is more than one way out for the Sima family, and the Sima family in the southwest countries has already embarked on another road.
