No. 705 Lu Su and Xu Shu's intentions
In this way, Sun Ce could calmly and directly lead his troops through Changsha County secretly and attack Wuling County, so as to kill his number one enemy - Huang Zu by surprise attack.
With the loss of the four counties of Jingnan, Liu Biaojun's own strength may not lose much, and Sun Cejun's strength may not increase much. Because at this time, most of Jingzhou's population, wealth and talents were concentrated between Hanshui and Jiangbei, that is, the land of Nanjun and Jiangxia County. However, once Sun Cejun obtained Changsha County, he could avoid Jiangxia County's civil appointment, and directly threatened the safety of Nanjun from the south of the Yangtze River.
The reason why Lu Su gave Zhou Yu such a plan was not because he cared about the old relationship between him and Zhou Yu, but because he was completely out of consideration for Liu Beijun's future.
As the most discerning strategist in the Three Kingdoms period, in Lu Su's eyes, there seem to be a lot of princes who are now qualified to compete for the Han Dynasty, but in fact, because of the sudden rise and disturbance of Jin Jue, a small person, the situation has become less and less obvious.
Since he was already loyal to Liu Bei, who cared for him, Lu Su naturally hoped that Liu Bei, the lord he served, would eventually be able to seize the world. Then, he has predicted that among the princes in the whole world, the most promising person to compete in the Central Plains and mix Liuhe is no longer Cao Cao, who has the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, or Yuan Shao, who is about to unify the entire Hebei, but Jin Jue.
That's right, it's Jin Jue.
Not only Lu Su judged so, but even Xu Shu also judged so.
Then, from Liu Beijun's side, Lu Su and Xu Shu have to consider coming up with a series of methods, not only to lay out in advance, but also to start restricting the development of Jin Jue's army now, but also to make Jin Jue's army an important helper for Liu Beijun to seize the world, just like Dou Rong and Liang Kuan, who occupied Hexi during the period of Emperor Guangwu, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
If Jin Jue only occupies Yizhou, no matter how strong his ability in all aspects is, once Sun Cejun blocks the passage out of Jingzhou, and at the same time, other forces successfully block the passage from Yizhou to Liangzhou and Guanzhong Sanfu, Jin Jue's chances of seizing the world will drop greatly.
At present, Lu Su and Xu Shu can think of three methods.
First, block the passage of Jin Jue's army from Yizhou to the east into Jingzhou.
Obviously, judging from Liu Biaojun's past achievements, even if there is a danger of the Three Gorges, Liu Biaojun's strength will not be able to resist the attack of Jin Jue's army at all.
Therefore, Lu Su privately gave Zhou Yu a hint, the purpose was to let Sun Ce and Zhou Yu wake up in time, seize this last opportunity, and take advantage of Zhang Xian's possible opportunity to raise troops against Liu Biao to seize the four counties of Jingnan in one fell swoop.
And once Sun Cejun gets the four counties of Jingnan, he will inevitably send more famous generals and heavy troops to guard against this.
At the same time, after Liu Biao's strength was weakened, the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Biao would immediately undergo a fundamental change, and in order to deal with the huge threat of Sun Cejun, Liu Biao had to rely on Liu Bei's strength in turn. At that time, Liu Beijun's current food shortage can be replenished in time from Liu Biao.
And all Liu Beijun needs to pay is the generals and the army.
At this time, Jin Jue's 'Let Xuzhou' plan designed by Jin Jue for Liu Bei played a very key role.
Liu Bei migrated almost the entire people in Xuzhou, Taishan County and Lu State to the four counties of Jianghuai, just as Fa Zheng said, it was equivalent to making Liu Bei clench the palm that had been open before into a strong fist.
Once the entire migration task was successfully completed, although the area controlled by Liu Bei was reduced by more than half, the area that Liu Bei's army needed to defend was also greatly reduced.
At that time, Liu Bei could send his general Chen Zhi to lead a part of his troops to Jingzhou to help Liu Biao resist the attack of Sun Ce's army.
Second, Lu Su secretly concealed Liu Bei, and after some discussion with Xu Shu, he had already secretly sent people to Guanzhong, took the initiative to warn Ma Teng, and leaked in advance the possible plan of Jin Jue's army to attack Ma Teng's army.
For example, Wei Yan may use the strength of the Montenegrin Army to recruit troops from Hebei, and then attack Zuo Fengyi County from Hedong County.
This point is not safe, but, in this regard, Lu Su and Xu Shu can't think of too good a way, after all, among the warlords of Guanzhong and Xiliang, Han Sui and Ma Teng are the strongest, and the two of them also know very well in their hearts that even if the forces of the entire Guanzhong and Xiliang warlords are added together, they may not be able to stop Jin Jue for long.
No matter how many troops there are, the strength of the main general is too poor, which is a deficiency that Ma Teng and Han Sui can't make up for no matter what.
And Liu Bei's talents are very lacking, and he can't be like Jin Jue, just send someone to assist Liu Bei, and he can compete with Liu Bei's important strategists or generals.
After this period of contact, Lu Su and Xu Shu have recognized Fa Zheng's ability.
Third, Lu Su and Xu Shu had successfully persuaded Liu Bei to give up the benevolence of the woman in his heart this time, and in the process of carrying out the migration mission, they would try their best to move all the people in Xuzhou, Taishan County and Lu State to the four counties of Jianghuai, including the southern area of Langya County, which was previously controlled by Changba, who had prepared Liu Bei Zangba before.
Of course, for the families in Xuzhou, Taishan County and Lu State, they still continue the plan discussed by Liu Bei and the two of them before, and Liu Beijun will not force them to participate in any family that is unwilling to participate in the migration plan.
By now, Lu Su and Xu Shu have fully accepted Jin Jue's understanding of the dependence between the Han family and the common people.
Without the people, the so-called family will only be left with the wisdom of the clansmen in their families, and without the people, these families are at most foxes with fake tigers.
Lu Su and Xu Shu all drew this kind of thinking from Jin Jue and Fa Zheng and digested it as their own.
The fact that Lu Su and Xu Shu were able to have such a change and become so broad in their thinking was undoubtedly the result of Jin Jue's many attempts to support and interfere with Liu Beijun, which Jin Jue could not imagine no matter what.
At the same time, what Cao Jun was about to do further complemented Lu Su and Xu Shu's plans from another level.
Obviously, if Zhou Yu's plan and Cao Jun's attempt completely succeeded, when the time comes, if Jin Jue wants to avenge his father, it is very likely that he will have to resort to the stable Liu Bei to complete it.
Furthermore, Jin Jue had to assist Liu Bei in unifying the Han Dynasty.
……
At the same time, Yuan Shaojun did not change much.
With the ability of Hetian Feng, before the Montenegrin Army was launched, they could not predict Jin Jue's advance arrangement.
