Chapter 826: Merge the state and the state
readx;?“ It's not too early, you better go back and rest first, I'll give you an answer to this matter as soon as possible! Zhou Fan didn't beat around the bush, and said directly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Then the little nephew will retire first!" Gongsun Xu didn't say anything and left directly.
He also knew very well that this matter must be in a hurry, and there were still a few days before Zhou Yu's wedding, even if Zhou Fan promised to send troops, it would definitely not be a matter of the past few days, anyway, the situation in their Youzhou now is not too bad, and he can still afford to wait for a few days.
Gongsun Xu and Tian Yu left, Zhou Fan muttered there for a while, and then instructed Dian Man: "Aman, send someone to call Cheng Wu, Fengxiao and all of them to me, oh, Gongjin forget it, don't bother him." ”
"No!" Dianman hurriedly agreed.
Half an hour later, Guo Jia, Cheng Wu, Jia Xu, Xun You, Fa Zheng and other strategists, Zhang He, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu and other generals in Chengdu were all there, and everyone sat quietly, waiting for Zhou Fan to speak first.
"Lu Bu returned to Bingzhou, and raised an army of 30,000 people, and now he and Yuan Shao are joining forces to besiege Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan and his son have come to me to ask for help and send troops, what do you think?" Zhou Fan didn't talk nonsense, and told the situation of the matter in the simplest words.
"Gongsun Zhan, he still has the face to ask for help from you, the lord? Don't save, resolutely don't save! As soon as Zhou Fan's words fell, Zhang He shouted angrily.
Zhang He is the earliest person who followed him, naturally he knows the relationship between Zhou Fan and Gongsun Chan best, Zhou Fan helped Gongsun Chan so much at the beginning, but now Gongsun Chan treats Zhou Fan like this, Zhang He also feels that Zhou Fan is not worth it, this kind of person does not save it, it is better to let Lu Buhe and Yuan Shao kill him.
Zhou Fan just smiled, and didn't answer Zhang He's words, he also knew that this was just Zhang He's angry words for himself, but it didn't count.
In fact, it is in Zhou Fan's heart. To save or not to save, to send troops or not to send troops, but there is already an answer, Zhou Fan wants but more opinions.
"If you don't look at the relationship between the lord and Gongsun Zhan. I think this time should be saved! In the end, Xun You could see Zhou Fan's thoughts and said: "But this salvation is inevitable, but how to save this, and why to save it, then we must discuss it carefully." ”
Zhou Fan's eyes lit up and said, "Please also ask Gongda for advice." ”
"The lord is now sitting in Yizhou. Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou can be said to be half of the country, and among the princes of the world, no one can compare with you. Xun You said slowly: "But if Yuan Shao gets Youzhou, plus he originally has Qingzhou, then he will also sit on the land of three states, plus with Lu Bu's cooperation, then just these two people." It is enough to become a big obstacle for the lord to plot to seize the world. ”
Zhou Fan pondered for a moment, it has reached this point, and the general trend of the world is already clear at a glance.
Today's Han Dynasty is naturally the most powerful Zhou Fan, who owns half of the country, and the next is Yuan Shao, who owns Jizhou and Qingzhou, can be ranked second, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou, if it is in terms of light power, it can be said that they are equal and can rank third.
Take control of the little emperor. Li Dao and Guo Yan, who control the entire division, are even above Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao in terms of soldiers and horses, but unfortunately these two people have no ambitions. is just bent on self-preservation, eating and waiting for death, so it can only be ranked fourth.
Next, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, although there are not many soldiers and horses under his command, and his strength is not too strong, but he has a whole Xuzhou. It can be ranked fifth.
As for the last Yuzhou, Bingzhou, Yangzhou and other places are in chaos, there are many large and small princes, such as Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and others can barely be ranked on the top, and other weak ones are like Zhang Yang and Wang Lang, which can't get into Zhou Fan's eyes at all.
It is precisely because of this that in Zhou Fan's eyes, the biggest enemies now are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will not mention it for the time being, if Yuan Shao gets You, Qing, and Jizhou, it will be really troublesome.
There is such a distance between himself and Yuan Shao's territory, it is impossible to curb his development, and as long as Yuan Shao has enough time, then he will inevitably become the Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu in history who has 700,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and it will inevitably bring huge trouble to Zhou Fan at that time, which is not the situation he wants to see.
"And since the lord got Jingzhou, there is no good target in the future, and now that Lu Bu has occupied the state, it has given the lord an excuse to send troops." Xun You continued.
Zhou Fan's eyes couldn't help but light up, after getting Jingzhou, why didn't he continue to attack Yangzhou, isn't there any reason to send troops, it's not a good thing for the division to be nameless, so he can only postpone the strategy of Yangzhou.
And now that Lu Bu has returned to Bingzhou, isn't this a clear reason for himself to send troops to occupy Bingzhou, such a good opportunity can't be given up.
"Gongda, do you mean that we will send troops to attack Lu Bu and occupy the annexed state, but also prevent Yuan Shao from getting Youzhou?" Zhou Fan asked.
"The lord is only half right." Xun You nodded, shook his head again and said: "It is natural to deal with Lu Bu, and it is even more necessary to take the state, but Youzhou is not just as simple as stopping Yuan Shao." ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Fan asked.
"With the current strength of the lord, it is enough to take down the entire Bingzhou, as well as the entire Youzhou!" Xun You said.
Zhou Fan's eyes suddenly widened at Xun You, he never thought that Xun You would be so ruthless, not only to take the state, but even Youzhou was regarded as a target by him.
But...... Now that Youzhou is Gongsun Zhan's, if he uses the excuse of sending troops to help, but instead seeks to seize his territory, what kind of words will he have, it is also conceivable.
"Mr. Gongda said well, since that Gongsun Chan is not a thing, then the lord doesn't need to be polite to him, and directly robbed his territory, anyway, isn't his territory also snatched from others." Ma Chao echoed with some excitement.
Zhou Fan could only smile bitterly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
But Xun You seemed to have seen through Zhou Fan's worries a long time ago, and said: "If the lord cares about reputation and is unwilling to seize Youzhou with his own hands, then it is not impossible." ”
Zhou Fan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly cast an inquiring glance at Xun You. (To be continued.) )
