After that, Fa Zheng resolutely refused Liu Bei's plan to set up a banquet for him on the grounds that he was tired from the journey and needed to rest.

The psychology of both sides actually understands that Fa Zheng has said everything that should be said about the 'Let Xuzhou' plan, and a simple explanation has been given for what needs to be explained, and then it depends on Liu Bei's own decision.

In this matter, even Lu Su and Xu Shu only put forward their own suggestions to Liu Bei from their own perspectives and wisdom, and how to choose in the end can only be made by Liu Bei alone.

In troubled times, in the hearts of most ancient scholars, the most important things were the territory, army and food, as for the ordinary people, they had as much as they wanted, just like the crops in the cultivated land, and let these princes who tried to compete for hegemony or divide the territory cut at will.

Jin Jue, the traverser, wants to use the facts to tell them that everything else is secondary, only ordinary people are the most important, and he can even select and train scholars from ordinary people, not to mention others?

"Zijing, what do you think?" Fa Zheng was led out of the living room by Liu Bei's official Liu Quan and went to the guest room to rest, at this time, Liu Bei immediately asked Lu Su for advice.

When Jin Jue recommended Lu Su to Liu Bei, he once said that Lu Su's characteristics are omnipotent, whether it is to be a military advisor who gives advice, a general who leads troops to fight, or a general who governs the local area and guards the history of assassination, he can do everything well, but it is just good, in these three aspects, Lu Su is not the most outstanding person, and even, in these three aspects, Lu Su is not as good as Zhou Yu, Lu Meng and Lu Xun.

However, there is one thing that Lu Su has that no one can match - his strategic vision.

Sure enough, after Fa Zheng left, as soon as Liu Bei asked, Lu Su revealed another layer of hidden meaning in Jin Jue's strategy to Liu Bei - he could no longer continue to weaken Cao Cao's strength.

On the surface, in the 'Let Xuzhou' plan, Liu Bei wanted to give Xuzhou to Chen Qi, the newly appointed assassin of Xuzhou by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, Chen Jue himself, Liu Bei and Cao Cao all understood that the Xuzhou that was let out would eventually fall into Cao Cao's hands. After Chen Qi became the assassin of Xuzhou, the imperial court would not remove him in a short period of time and go back on his word, but he could appoint the Taishou or the minister of the six counties of Xuzhou.

In the face of this situation, what can Chen Qi do? He could neither prevent the newly appointed Taishou and the Minister of State from taking office, nor did he dare to do so. Even if Liu Bei did not move the people of Xuzhou away, except for Chen Deng alone, the rest of the Chen family, including Chen Qi himself, was not Cao Cao's opponent at all.

Moreover, according to the plan, Liu Bei gave up Xuzhou, and immediately after, he would send an envoy to take the initiative to break with Emperor Xian of Han and call himself the assassin of Yuzhou. However, after moving the people of Xuzhou who were willing to follow him all the way to the four counties of Jianghuai, Liu Bei would not take the initiative to send troops to continue to fight with Cao Cao for any territory, including other counties in Yuzhou.

Even, Liu Bei will take the initiative to give up the southern part of Peiguo and Chen that his side has occupied.

The purpose is to concentrate all the military forces of Liu Bei's army on the front line of the Huai River, so that even if Cao Cao and Sun Ce jointly send troops to attack the four counties occupied by Liu Bei again, these Central Plains soldiers under Cao Cao will definitely be difficult to adapt to the terrain of the dense water network on both sides of the Huai River in a short period of time.

Lu Su guessed: "My lord, this suggestion drawn up by the second prince of Jin for you, on the one hand, is indeed the best solution to the two-sided dilemma that the lord you are facing now, and on the other hand, the lord you have openly broken with Emperor Han Xian, and in a short period of time, your reputation among the people in Shilin and outside Xuzhou will definitely be reduced.

At the same time, Cao Cao's prestige will increase accordingly because he used the Son of Heaven to force you to voluntarily cede Xuzhou, and gain control of Xuzhou and several counties in southern Runan.

According to the speculation of his subordinates, the reason why Jin Er Gongzi wanted to do this had three other purposes.

First, of course, it is to help the lord to gain enough strength to compete with Sun Ce, Cao Cao, or even Yuan Shao in the future, and gain a long-term advantage in all aspects.

Second, in order not to weaken the strength of Cao's army.

At the same time, in the past two years, Cao Cao has repeatedly raised troops, and at the same time, he has been seriously damaged by Wenhou's department and Jinhou's kid three times in a row, so his subordinates boldly guessed that if the lord you really adopted this plan, within a year or two, Cao Cao will not send a large army to attack the four counties of Jianghuai again.

Third, in order to allow Cao's army to recover part of its strength as soon as possible, as long as Cao Cao does not continue to raise troops against our army, although Xuzhou has been persuaded by you to take away a large number of people, Cao Cao can also use this time in the counties under his control to let the people recuperate, restore the construction of tuntian as soon as possible, and resume production. whereas

Relying on the tuntian in its territory, Cao Jun can also obtain a large amount of grain for military rations in one or two years, and all this is naturally not to deal with our army, but to deal with Yuan Shao, who is about to eliminate the lord and your friend Gongsun Zhan, and raise troops to the south, preparing to conquer Yuan Shao, who dominates the world. ”

Liu Bei listened to Lu Su's explanation, and suddenly realized, it turned out that Jin Jue's move was not only to help Liu Bei, but also to enhance Cao Cao's strength to a certain extent, blindly weakening Cao Cao's army, but did not contain Yuan Shao's words, in the future, Jin Jue is really afraid of this time and space, Cao Cao, who has been repeatedly frustrated in Xuzhou, really suddenly became a big coward in the face of Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 troops, and took the initiative to raise troops to surrender to Yuan Shao.

In this case, if Jin Jue wants to kill Cao Cao again, it will become more difficult to destroy the Cao and Xiahou clans in Qian County.

What Jin Jue lacks most is time.

In this time and space, if the battle of Guandu launched by Cao Jun and Yuan Shaojun in order to compete for the world is still taking place in the fifth year of Jian'an, Jin Jue is not afraid.

Because, by next year, Jin Jue will be ninety percent sure that he will break through Chengdu City and take the entire Yizhou in one fell swoop, if there is time, Jin Jue will also start to attack the eastern part of Liangzhou and Sanfu next year in a few places controlled by Ma Tengjun.

Once the Guanzhong region was taken and connected with Lu Bujun and Liu Beijun at the same time, at that time, even if Cao Cao's initiative surrendered and Cao Jun and Yuan Shaojun merged into one, Jin Jue was not afraid of these two traitorous males with their own ghosts.

is still the same sentence, whether it is Jin Jue or Liu Bei, what these two princes lack most now is time.

"So, if you ask your subordinates for their opinions, your subordinates will agree with accepting Jin Ergongzi's plan." Lu Su finally concluded.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
