"Everyone, look!" Jia Xu came to the map in front of Xiang Ao, pointed to Nanyang County, which represented Liu Bei, and said: "Liu Bei is not a small person, and this time he raised troops to crusade against Li Dao, Guo Yan and others just to act for the world to see and earn enough reputation." ”

"Liu Bei is only a few thousand people, and he has traveled a long distance to attack the elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and there is no chance of victory. But even if Liu Bei was defeated, he also catered to the interests of most of today's families. Xu believes that after Liu Bei returns to Nanyang and receives the support of many families, he will definitely choose to join Jingzhou or Yizhou as a basis to compete in the world. ”

As Tian Feng's friend, Fu Zhu definitely didn't want Tian Feng to be defeated by Jia Xu, so he got up and took over the words: "What Mr. Jia said may be true, but Jingzhou Liu Biao not only forced Sun Jian and Yuan Shu out of Jingzhou, but also won the recognition of all families in Jingzhou in a short period of time. And Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Liu Bei's strength is several times higher, I am afraid it is not Yizhou Liu Yan's opponent. ”

"What do you call him?"

"Under the giant deer, the frustration is frustrated!"

Jia Xu was stunned for a while, it turned out to be a helper. "What Mr. Gonghe said is extremely true, Liu Bei is weak now, and considering that few princes in the world will look down on Liu Bei, or even despise him. But Xu also mentioned before that Liu Bei's crusade catered to the interests of most families. ”

"Whether it is Liu Yan or Liu Biao, although they are royal relatives, they must have common interests with the family to accept their rule. In this way, as long as Liu Bei behaves more like a male lord, how does Mr. Gonghe think the Jingzhou and Yizhou families will choose? ”

Not only Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were stunned by Jia Xu's question, but even Xiang Ao, Hu Zhao and others were staring at each other. In this way, after Liu Bei's trip, wouldn't he be able to easily take down Jing and Yi Prefectures, and become the most powerful prince in the blink of an eye? Xu Shu looked at the map, and after thinking about Jia Xu's idea, his face was solemn.

"Brother Wenhe, if this is the case, Liu Bei is really extraordinary." Xu Shu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, if Wenhe's worries come true, Liu Bei can live in Hanzhong, occupy Jingzhou and look down on the world, attack if you advance, retreat and defend, and you must not be unguarded." ”

Xiang Ao's face was extremely indifferent, and he chuckled: "Don't worry, let Wen He finish the analysis first." Xu Shu glanced at Xiang Ao, who was calm, and wondered in his heart, could it be that the lord and Jia Xu had discussed it before.

Jia Xu bowed to Xiang Ao again and continued: "Let's not talk about Liu Bei first, and then look at Cao Cao in Yanzhou." Cao Cao has the posture of a hero, and there are countless fierce generals under his command, and news came a few days ago that Yingchuan Xun has children who plan to serve Cao Cao. Cao Cao was originally a family, although his background seems to be lowly, but he can also represent the interests of the family, and there must be many people who serve him. And Tao Qian of Xuzhou, who has more than enough to defend the city and is not enterprising, will be destroyed by Cao Cao sooner or later for various reasons. ”

At this time, Yuan Shao, who was confronting the lord, was also very ambitious, and when he confronted the lord, he would definitely divide his troops into Qingzhou and try to take Qingzhou. Qingzhou gathers millions of yellow turbans, as long as Qingzhou is taken, Yuan Shao will dare to fight with the lord on all fronts and compete for the lord of Hebei. ”

Jia Xu took a sip of tea and continued: "So, from Yixu's point of view, the lord must get rid of Yuan Shao when Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others occupy the two rich states. Otherwise, if you wait for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to solve Yuan Shao when they are full-fledged, I am afraid it will be difficult to be the opponent of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. ”

As for why Cao Cao and Liu Bei had to practice to deal with Xiang Ao, everyone in the hall knew that most of the policies that Xiang Ao was implementing now did not deal with the family, and if it continued to develop like this, there would be fewer and fewer families willing to sincerely obey Xiang Ao, and there would be more and more families that favored Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The people and the people's hearts are important, but everyone knows that in today's world, the threat of the family cannot be ruled out.

Regarding Jia Xu's analysis, Xiang Ao nodded frequently. Xiang Ao himself knows the advantages and disadvantages of his own power best. Although most of the strategists under his command are not from famous families, they are always members of the family, no matter how Xiang Ao controls different thinking on weekdays. A group of strategists can't avoid the mentality of subconsciously biasing towards the family, even Xu Shu is among them.

Now that he finally has a strategist who can understand his power, Xiang Ao is excited. I knew that Jia Xu was so shrewd, and he should have recalled and merged with the state. Xiang Ao thought so, looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

Jia Xu mentioned the threat of the family to the state again and again, and mentioned the biggest problem that Xiang Ao is facing now, which made the civil and military generals speechless. Even if Xiang Ao asked, everyone didn't seem to have heard it, and they still lowered their heads and pondered. In particular, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, who had just entered the center of the state government, were shocked by Jia Xu's opinion.

In this way, Xiang Ao's competition for the world is not a struggle for territory and population, but a challenge to the family, an endless challenge.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, who had been observing the state for several months, had already planned to worship the Lord Xiang Ao, but now it seems that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu hesitated. The two glanced at each other, both looking at each other's eyes and smiling bitterly. Compared with Hu Zhao, Xi Zhong and others who were still pondering, the sober Xiang Ao and Jia Xu glanced at Tian Feng and Fu Zhu at the same time, and then nodded at each other.

"It's rare to see Tian Yuanhao and Fu Gonghe, who are famous in Jizhou, today, I wonder if I can have the honor to discuss a little with the two of you?"

Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, who were interrupted from their contemplation, raised their heads and looked up at Jia Xu suspiciously.

Jia Xu didn't wait for the two to respond when he saw the state of the two, and continued to ask: "I don't know if the two of you think that the world is like this, is it the king or the people that are important?" ”

"Of course it's Minzhong!"

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu didn't think about it, raised their heads and replied. Jia Xu looked at the two of them with a smile and asked lightly: "The two gentlemen are so loud, can you think that as long as the people want, no matter who ascends the throne, it doesn't matter?" ”

Tian Feng glanced at Jia Xu, then at Xiang Ao, and frowned back: "It can be so understood, but if the Han family can continue, of course it is the best." ”

The second sentence of Tian Feng's supplementary answer made Jia Xu laugh in his heart, since he has admitted that the current situation of the Han family and the Liu family has perished, why do you want to be so pretentious, you want to cover it up!

"In this case, who ascends to the emperor, is it the people who have the final say, or the family?"

"Of course—" The frustrated one who was about to answer paused, his eyes glazed over. The sages said that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and it is of course the people who can influence the change of dynasty. But why do you suddenly think about it now, it seems that it is the family that controls the Han Dynasty and not the people! Thinking so, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Not only Tian Feng and the others were confused, but even Hu Zhao, Xu Shu and Xi Zhong, who had followed Xiang Ao for many years, bowed their heads and pondered. used to think that Xiang Ao was in charge, and he just hoped that the people could live well, so they came, but now it seems that his lord thinks more than that. Xiang Ao bowed his head and motioned to Jia Xu, stood up by himself, looked at the group of strategists, and coughed lightly.

"You should know what a country is and what a home is. Have you ever wondered what a country is? ”

Except for Jia Xu, everyone looked at Xiang Ao suspiciously, the country is the country, the home is the home, where is the country!

"From the current point of view, the country is the court, and the family is the size of thousands of households. How does the dynasty of a country come about? It is composed of tens of millions of large and small families. The country is prosperous, feeding the world, and the family is prosperous; The family is prosperous, gathers the hearts of the people, and the country is strong. Xiang Ao came to everyone, paced slowly, and continued: "If the country is prosperous and does not feed the people, what should the people do?" What will happen to the kingdom if every house prospers, but it cannot be used by the nation? ”

"Yes, only with a country can there be a home, and only with a home can there be a country!"

Xiang Ao said, slowly returned to his position, sat down indifferently, and raised a glass to Jia Xu to drink together. Jia Xu nodded at Xiang Ao with a smile, also took a sip of tea, and sat down slowly.

Xiang Ao only talked about such a theory when he was alone with Jia Xu, and Xiang Ao didn't expect that his theory was fully agreed by Jia Xu. Today, Xiang Ao took advantage of Jia Xu to throw around, and introduced the good jade that Xiang Ao felt himself, so that the strategists under his command could change their mentality and lay the foundation for the establishment of a prosperous era in the future.

And a group of strategists were indeed shocked by the theory put forward by Xiang Ao, as if everyone's worldview was torn apart by Xiang Ao. Except for Xu Shu, who could still think of it, the rest of the people were like five thunderbolts.

"Thank you, Lord, for the point!" After a long time, Hu Zhao and Xi Zhong recovered from the shock, and they both bowed deeply to Xiang Ao, their eyes flashed with infinite worship, as if they were looking at their gods. And Tian Feng and Fu Zhu lowered their heads in contemplation, their lips turned black, and even their bodies began to tremble.

In the end, Tian Feng woke up in frustration first, looked at Xiang Ao for a long time, knelt on his knees, and said loudly: "I don't want Ming Gong to be so ambitious, Feng is not as good as Ming Gong, please Ming Gong will not give up, let Feng have the honor to create a prosperous world with Ming Gong!" ”

"I hope that the Ming Gong will not give up, and I am willing to go together!"

Seeing that Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Hu Zhao, and Xi Zhong were like this, they seemed to calmly want to put down the boulder hanging in their hearts. Although he was confident that Hu Zhao and Xi Zhong would understand, and let Tian Feng and Fu Zhu stay, Xiang Ao also felt a lot of pressure and uneasiness when he threw out such remarks. The people in public are all heroes, and if he loses any of them, Xiang Ao is distressed.

Fortunately, everyone accepted it.

"Haha..."Xiang Ao got up and laughed with relief: "I can get the help of Gong and Yuan Hao, and I am like a tiger with wings!" ”

"Feng (granted) has seen the lord!" Tian Feng and Fu Zhu bowed deeply again, and after raising their heads, their eyes were extremely excited. Although what Xiang Ao said today is contrary to the teachings of the children of the family, people with real wisdom and extraordinary wisdom can see the reason. What Xiang Ao didn't expect was that the concept of "country" that was accidentally spread out attracted many hermits to defect.
