Sun Ce bowed his head slightly in agreement, but did not speak.

Lu Su is a doer, there are no clichés, and he is aggressive, he is fighting when he opens his mouth, and there is no style of courtesy, righteousness and humility. It's in line with his personality. When he was on the couch, he also denied Sun Quan's so-called Huan Wen's merits straight to the point, and bluntly said that the Han family could not be revived, and he was a standard enterprising faction, and he did not match the good man at all.

"The imperial court moved westward, the capital was Guanzhong, there was the foundation of the old Qin, there was the way of the Yan and Han dynasties, the attack was insufficient, and the code was more than enough. Guanzhong is four, Yizhou is rich, if you can have both, you can have the advantage of the western terrain. There are Xiongnu in the state, and there is Qiang in Liangzhou, if you can touch it, you can not only get the strength of the bow and horse, but also make up for the lack of household registration, just like a strong Qin. It's just that there are many Confucian ministers in the central and central Kwantung countries, and they are conservative, and they may not be willing to change their lives into summer. The Son of Heaven is young, his prestige is insufficient, it is difficult to hold power, he must be under the influence of ministers, and even if he has the heart of self-improvement, he cannot do what he wants. From a solemn point of view, it will be ten years at least and twenty years at most, and Guanzhong will not be able to go east, and it will be defeated. This general's friend is also an alliance with him. ”

"Yuan Shao ran north, with the prestige of the fourth generation, the power of the world, skillful, arrogant, across the big river, solid household registration. There is the support of the powerful family inside, and the help of the Huns, Wuhuan and Xianbei outside, as well as the time, location, and people, and the generals cannot compete with them, even if the court has to avoid it. This general's fierce enemy must also be guarded against. ”

"Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qianzhi and others are from humble backgrounds, not supported by the family, and short-sighted, can not pull out the handsome in the cold door, can only use their private wisdom, fight their bravery, according to a state and several counties, proud for a while, for a long time it is difficult to continue, and will eventually be merged by the strong, this general's disciple can also be driven to use. Although Liu Yu has the name of the clan, his wisdom is short-sighted, his ambition is great, his talent is sparse, he is perverse, and his defeat is imminent. Jia Xu and Niu Fu's disciples, the tiger and wolf of Benliangzhou, live in Hedong, not only lose their roots, but also have a strong enemy on their side, so they are not worried. The remnants of Zhang Yan's yellow scarf, the rabble, can be ignored. ”

"The general took Jiangdong as the foundation, Jingyu as the two wings, and suffered the enemy on both sides. If you go west, you will take the low and take the high, and if you go north, you will ride the enemy on foot, all of which are at a disadvantage, and it is difficult to advance and easy to retreat. The general's father and son came from humble backgrounds, not the family of the eunuchs of the past generations, without the help of their protégés, and the Jiangdong household registration could not be rivaled by the Central Plains. It seems that the wind and clouds are whirlwind, and there is one third of the world, but in fact, it is like accumulating salary, but there is a trace of negligence, which is to set yourself on fire. ”

Sun Ce looked at Lu Su silently, shocked in his heart. Compared with Lu Su, who was on the opposite side of Sun Quan's couch, the current Lu Su has not yet left Dongcheng, and he does not know the recent situation in detail, and he may not even know that Cao Cao has entered Yizhou, so he can only analyze it from the general trend. However, his point-to-point pointing out Jiangdong's disadvantages is an irrefutable fact that he cannot ignore them.

He has occupied Yuzhou and most of Jingzhou, and also occupies most of Yangzhou. If nothing else, Yuzhang will be able to start soon, and if Zhou Yu is given a year and a half, Jingzhou can also start it all. But that's the limit of Koto. To the west, attacking Yizhou, it is difficult to do so. To the north, into the Central Plains, the disadvantage of the shortage of war horses will make it difficult for him to move forward.

This is the limit of Sun Wu, which is determined by the geographical situation and is not transferred by human will. He's just reaching his limit ahead of schedule. Compared to Sun Quan, who was confined to Hefei, he could go a little further, but no matter how far he went, he would never cross the Yellow River. If we can't break this limit, it will be difficult to maintain the momentum of rapid expansion in the future.

"What can I do?" Sun Ce asked Lu Su for advice. There are many people who can see the disadvantages of Jiangdong, and whether or not they can solve this problem is the touchstone that distinguishes ordinary people from masters.

"There are two plans, A and B, which can be chosen by the general."

Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh. Are these strategists all taught by a master, either the upper, middle and lower strategies, or the A and B strategies.

"I want to hear about it."

"A plan, to the imperial court to call the vassal, draw the river to defend itself, in order to observe the situation in the world. Although Yuan Shao has the right time, place, and people, he also has internal worries. First, the family is overturned, there are many factions, and internal friction is inevitable. The second is that Confucianism is broad-minded, emphasizing literature over military force, and emphasizing gate valves, talking about morality, despising power and conspiracy, and can be graceful in peacetime, and it is inevitable that it will be embarrassed in troubled times. The third is that Yuan Shao is nearly half a hundred years old, the overall situation is undecided, and he is attacked on all sides, if he cannot gain an advantage within ten years, his wisdom and physical strength will be difficult to sustain. The imperial court and the Yuan clan competed for the Central Plains, and the general may have an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

Sun Ce nodded. This plan is similar to that of the couch pair, but it has been reduced. The fundamental reason is also that the imperial court moved the capital to Guanzhong, and once Yizhou fell into the hands of the imperial court, it was more difficult to capture than Liu Zhang's seizure of Yizhou.

"What about Plan B?"

"Annexation of Qingxu, hold Mount Tai, so that Yuan Shao can not go south, take Yanzhou as the battlefield, and then take Qingzhou as the foundation, cross Liaodong, and then occupy Youzhou." Lu Su met Sun Ce's gaze, revealing a strange excitement. "Once you have a war horse, the general can confront Yuan Shao in the Central Plains, and the longer the time drags on, the better it will be for the general. If Yuan Shao can be defeated before the imperial court goes east, the general may be able to win the world. ”

Sun Ce's eyes flickered, and he didn't speak for a long time. Lu Su's plan is really a very radical strategy, and it is not easy, but when you think about it, it is a good choice. Even with the current technical conditions, it is not difficult to go from Qingzhou to Liaodong. After obtaining the war horse, he can win the Central Plains with Yuan Shao. By opening up a battlefield in Youzhou, he can contain Yuan Shao's energy.

"Which plan does Zijing prefer?"

Lu Su laughed silently, and said lightly: "Don't hide it from the general, Su and Chengde Liu Ziyang are friends, and he once invited me to Chang'an." ”

Sun Ce understood. If he uses a trick and calls the court of the domain, then Lu Su will not play with him, and going to the court to be an official will definitely have a better future than being an official in a feudal town. The current court is not a puppet court of Xu Du, as long as it survives the past ten years, when the old ministers pass away one after another, Xun Yu, Liu Ye and others grasp the power, plus the Son of Heaven, the British lord, the court still has a chance to turn over, at least it can be divided into one side.

If you want to do it, you have to do it. For Lu Su, what he wants is not 2,000 stones, not even the three princes and nine kings, what he wants is to sit on one side, compete with the heroes of the world, do a vigorous job, make meritorious contributions, and leave a name in history.

The corners of Sun Ce's mouth were slightly raised, and he looked at Lu Su with a smile. "Tai Shici is proficient in cavalry warfare and has lived in Liaodong for several years. He is a suitable person to go to Liaodong. In this way, I lack a person who can sit in Qingxu and choke Yuan Shao's throat, I don't know if Zi Jingken will give in? ”

Lu Su shook his head and said seriously: "The general is wrong to love, and he is ashamed to be ashamed." With Su's shallowness, it is already difficult to be a Taishan Taishou, and he dares to accept the responsibility of Qingxu. ”

Sun Ce laughed. According to the strategy planned by Lusu, Mount Tai is an anchor point, which is the key point of attacking Jizhou and guarding Qingzhou, and it is the head of the five mountains.

"Zijing rest assured, I won't be strong, pulling out seedlings to help Zijing is harmful. It's better to be like this, there are still a few lieutenants in the newly trained soldiers under my command, if Zijing is willing, he will be temporarily wronged for a period of time and lead 2,000 people to try his hand, how about it? ”

Lu Su was satisfied and left the table to worship. "Willing to serve the general."
