Chapter 20: Pang Tong offers advice to plan the river and govern it

After listening to Pang Tong's analysis, Yuan Yao secretly said in his heart: This Pang Tong's analysis is incisive, although it is faintly exaggerated, but I think it is also related to the fact that he doesn't know that Sun Ce will die next year.

Yuan Yao chuckled a few times and said, "Mr. said that he was joking, Mr.'s analysis hit the nail on the head, and what he said was exactly what I was most worried about. ”

Pang Tong smiled slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and said: "The situation of Shouchun is difficult to say, and it is easy to say that it is simple, it is nothing more than judging the situation and strengthening itself!" ”

"Now the situation in the north has become clear, the general trend is either attributable to Yuan Shao, or to Cao Cao, I have the same opinion as the general, this battle should be Cao won and Yuan lost. After Cao Cao wins, he will not give Hebei Yuan a chance to breathe, he will definitely take all the northern lands first, and then go south with a great victory, and then sweep the world! During this period of time, Cao Cao would have no time to attack the land of Hebei, so the general would have seven to ten years of development. ”

"The general can only accumulate enough money to fight Cao Cao in these seven to ten years, so that he can achieve something with all his might!"

Although Cao Cao does not have the energy and time to take care of the south for the time being, he will definitely make some small moves to provoke all forces in the south, in case he and Yuan Shao will be disturbed in the rear. Nowadays, among the various forces in the south, the general's power is the weakest and the most enterprising, so it is also the most vulnerable to Cao Cao's attention, which is why Cao Cao rewarded the general so easily. ”

"Cao Cao's soldiers are many generals and have strong strength, and they control the general trend of the Central Plains, and the general's strength is shallow, so he can only make friends with him but not with him. But there is no need to worry too much about this, with the current situation, as long as the lord shows favor to the Son of Heaven on time, Cao Cao will not only not become an obstacle to the general, but can also become the general's dependence. ”

"The affairs of the north are still far from the general, so let's just talk about these things first." When Pang Tong said this, he swiped his finger on the simple map of Shouchun, Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and then said: "The general's Jiujiang and Lujiang counties are located in the middle of Liu Biao's Jingzhou and Sun Ce's Jiangdong land. ”

"Liu Biao is just a dog guarding the house, with only 200,000 elite soldiers but he can't use it, this person is just a dry bone in the grave; On the contrary, Jiangdong Sun Ce is known as the little overlord, leading tens of thousands of elite soldiers to conquer and win, this person is a real tiger who may choose people to devour at any time! ”

"The general is weak now, he would rather fight with the dog of the housekeeper than provoke the tiger too early, otherwise he will be counterattacked, the general previously returned the jade seal of the country and sought to take the land of Lujiang County, this is the real strategy!"

"What the general has to do now is to rely on Cao Cao, befriend Sun Ce, and attack Liu Biao!"

Pang Tong stretched out his hand and crossed the land of Lujiang County, and said: "Now that the general has captured Lujiang County, there are only two directions to choose from in the next step, one direction is to go south to Yuzhang County, and the other direction is to attack Jiangxia County to the west!" ”

"Sun Ce previously cared about the general's return of the jade seal of the country and the old feelings, so he allowed the general to annex Lujiang County. However, there is a limit to everything, if the general takes Yuzhang County again, he will completely seal the land of Jiangdong, which will definitely touch Sun Ce's bottom line, and even if Sun Ce still cares about the old feelings, the Jiangdong ministers will not sit idly by, and at that time, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses will definitely raise troops to attack the general. ”

"If you fight Jiangdong too early, you will lose both like two tigers fighting, which is not good for the general's great cause, so it is not advisable to go south to Yuzhang County!"

Yuan Yao nodded secretly while looking at the simple diagram on the table, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County are in his hands, Yuzhang Army has now become Sun Ce's only choice, if he dares to send troops to attack Yuzhang County, Sun Ce will definitely turn his face with him.

Yuan Yao thought about Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Tai Shici, Huang Gai...... Waiting for General Jiangdong, I felt a panic in my heart.

Yes, now is not the time to wrestle with Sun Ce, he still has to develop lewdly first.

It is best to survive until Sun Ceheng's death, and then he will take advantage of Jiangdong's internal instability to attack, which will be much easier.

Pang Tong saw Yuan Yao nodding slightly, knowing that he had listened to his advice, then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Jiangxia, and then said: "Jiangxia Huangzu is just a busy person, although the land of Jiangxia is dangerous, as long as the general plans carefully, he can capture it, as long as the general captures Jiangxia County, he can open the gate of Jingzhou, and then the entire Jingzhou land can become the general's place of troops!" ”

"However, Sun Ce and Jiangdong Yingjie are also far-sighted people, and they will not sit idly by and watch the general annex Jingzhou to develop and grow, so ......," Pang Tong said here, pointing to an important town on the edge of the Yangtze River, and then said: "Therefore, the general should strike first, when attacking Jiangxia County, when taking the land of Chaisang, as long as the land of Chaisang is taken, the general can control the waterway of the Yangtze River and advance and retreat freely!" ”

"At that time, if Jiangdong dares to use troops against the general, the general can calmly cut off the Yangtze River waterway, and then send two generals to sit in Hefei and Shuxian to garrison the Jianghuai land, so that Jiangdong soldiers and horses can only look at the city and sigh even if they are brave and good at fighting."

"This is the second step that the general has to do, rely on Cao Cao, guard against Sun Ce, and attack Jingxiang!"

"As long as the general takes the land of Jingzhou, he will have the strength of the powerful side, and then he can plot the land of Jiangdong to the east, and he can enter the land of Yizhou to the west, and he can do all the big things!"

"As for how the general should act at that time, it depends on the speed of the general's attack on the land of Jingzhou and the time it took for Cao Cao to capture the land of Hebei.

"This is a superficial opinion, I wonder what the general thinks?"

Yuan Yao looked at the sketch on the table while thinking about Pang Tong's words.

Yuan Yao was still worried about what to do next, but now after listening to Pang Tong's words, Yuan Yao only felt that his mouth was suddenly opened, and he also understood when to do something next.

Pang Tong didn't know that Sun Ce would die next year, so he could take advantage of the situation to change this plan again, not give Sun a chance to integrate Jiangdong's strength again, and take it down when Jiangdong's internal instability was unstable!

In this way, he can annex the land of Jiangdong and the land of Jingzhou!

At that time, he will attack the land of Yizhou and the land of Hanzhong to the west, and then he can row the river with Cao Cao!
