Chapter 391: Planning (Page 1/1)

In all fairness, Liangzhou is not a good place, ranking at the bottom of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, with sparse population and barren land. The people who live in this land, whether in prosperous times or troubled times, are fighting to be able to eat well.

Fortunately, relying on the granary of Yizhou and the support of the Guanzhong region, Liangzhou can barely maintain stability. However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline, and it is impossible to take care of this place, coupled with the raids and invasions of the Qiang and Southern Xiongnu, this place has become like a hell on earth.

Generally speaking, a poor place like this will not easily attract the covetousness of others. It's as if there was no owner in the state and Qingzhou before, and he didn't swallow it in a hurry next to Yuan Shao, if this kind of place is not handled well, it will not only not become a help, but a big burden.

Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, but it also has a population of more than one million to manage, most of whom are hungry. Moreover, the local Qiang people and Han people are mixed, and horse thieves are everywhere, who wants to touch this kind of place normally?

But now, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei want to fight for this place, because Yuan Shu wants to. And Liangzhou is not beneficial to them at all, but it is of great significance to Yuan Shu. This is a great opportunity for Yuan Shu to gain a foothold in the north, if Yuan Shu really occupies Liangzhou, Cao Liu, who is already at a disadvantage, will probably be even more sad.

How terrifying Yuan Shu, whose shortcomings in land warfare were made up, would become, Cao Cao didn't dare to think at all. It's going to be a real jumbo existence.

The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and the dragon changes when it encounters the wind and clouds. If Yuan Shu, the southern dragon, really won Liangzhou, it would really be out of control.

Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of cases in which the south has been combined with the north and the south, and the superiority of the northern land war is decisive compared to the superiority on the water.

Yuan Shu is now strong, but as long as he does not gain a foothold in the north, he still fails to establish a victory. At the beginning, Cao and Liu could easily suppress Yuan Shu, the southern overlord, south of the Yangtze River, although part of Yuan Shu's army attacked Yizhou at that time, but Cao Liu did not exert all his strength.

If he didn't cross the Yangtze River and find a place to settle in the north, Yuan Shu could only be a southern hegemon and did not completely occupy the general trend. can only wait around the Central Plains and have no way to start.

"Yuan Shu chose to dominate in the south, although he has a deep foundation and rapid development, but cavalry has always been his hard wound. We must not sit idly by and watch him take Chang'an or Liangzhou, we must limit them to Hanzhong. In this way, Yuan Shu has become a tiger in prison, no matter how sharp his minions are, he has to be obediently locked in the cage of the south. "Xun Yu knows Yuan Shu's weaknesses best.

"But Yuan Shu has already settled in Liaoxi! In this way, cavalry is no longer a shackle that restricts Yuan Highway, even if he can't take Liangzhou, there will be no shortage of war horses. Cheng Yu said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter. Yuan Highway set out in western Liaoning, which is not necessarily a bad thing for us. His target is not us, but Yuan Shao. Xun Yu said with a smile.

In Xun Yu's eyes, Yuan Shu chose the south, although he avoided the chaotic land in the north, but he also lost the strategic initiative. It is easy to attack the south in the north, but it is extremely difficult to attack the north in the south. It was always Yuan Shu who subdued the southern family with the power of thunder, and became the current southern overlord across the four states, Xun Yu still didn't feel too much pressure. As long as a little precautions are taken, when Cao Cao dominates the Central Plains, Yuan Shu will not be afraid.

Xun Yu also knew about Yuan Shu's involvement in Youzhou, but Xun Yu didn't think that this would pose any threat to Cao Cao, on the contrary, it was a good thing. These places in Liaodong and Liaoxi are just small places, and Yuan Shu has no problem relying on these places to contain Yuan Shao's forces. But there are gains and losses, and the occupation of these places will also contain Yuan Shu's forces.

Therefore, even if Yuan Shu's calculation on the grassland succeeded, it would only have two results. The first is to contain Yuan Shao and lay a chess piece for Yuan Shu to attack Hebei in the future. But in the same way, Yuan Shu had to be distracted, and the pressure on Cao Cao was reduced. The second is to be beaten away by Yuan Shao, so everything Yuan Shu did was in vain, and the two Yuan were both defeated.

"Yuan Highway has a long-term view! Now that he has set his sights on the land of Hebei, he is really confident that he is ready to face Yuan Shao so early. Xi Zhicai's tone was inexplicable.

"My little hair has always been so confident, didn't he take me Cao Mengde in his eyes!" Cao Cao's tone was a little cold, Yuan Shu was now starting to think about the battle with Yuan Shao in the future, which was obviously a contempt for him. The other party is confident that it is enough to defeat the two forces of Shangbei and the Central Plains at the same time, and he really treats himself as a dish!

"Don't be annoyed, my lord!" Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Yuan Shu is so arrogant, it is tantamount to giving us a chance, the lord should be happy." ”

"Huh." Cao Cao smiled a little desolately: "The twins of the Yuan family are so proud, they regard each other as great enemies, and they disdain everyone else. However, I, Cao Mengde, am not Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Gongsun Zhan and the like, since they despise me, I have to let them understand what the end of arrogance is. A momentary lead is nothing, and the one who has the last laugh is the king! ”

Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao, who was about to explode in silence, and smiled at the corners of their mouths. This is their lord, with great ambitions, perseverance, and such a heart, he will definitely be able to achieve great things in this troubled world!

The wealthy family has the advantages of the wealthy family, but the poor family also has the benefits of the poor family. The wealthy family has a high starting point, and it is easy to succeed, just like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in history, they have all the way to become a hegemon. But in the same way, excessive smoothness also makes them unable to withstand failure, just like Xiang Yu, failure once is a catastrophe.

On the contrary, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were not from a high background, had a difficult fortune and experienced repeated setbacks, but also thanks to this, they exercised their indomitable spirit and broad mind, and finally had the last laugh.

Being able to afford to lose and let go is also a precious quality.

"Yuan Shu has had a smooth ride along the way, and in this battle of Xiliang, we also let him taste the taste of defeat." Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had a plan in his heart.

"Lord, there is another good news here."

"What's the good news?"

"I just got a report from the spies, and Yuan Shu probably plans to personally lead the troops to fight for Xiliang this time. If we can intercept and kill Xiliang this time, then Jiangdong..."Xun Yu said meaningfully.

"Haha!" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "God help me!" Yuan Shu actually planned to lead the troops in person, and he should be buried in Xiliang! ”

"Quickly contact Liu Bei, Han Sui and others and inform them of the news. Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this time we must kill Yuan Shu in Chang'an! Cao Cao said excitedly.
