Section 3 Troubled Times 2
After Liu Bei left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao continued to discuss with his advisers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What do gentlemen think of this Liu Xuande?"
"Looking at Liu Bei, he is eloquent and has won the hearts of the people, and he will not be subordinated to others, so it is better to plan it as soon as possible." Cheng Yu said.
"Liu Bei is eloquent and has won the hearts of the people. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are all enemies of thousands of people, and they are used for death. Jiaguanzhi, the end of the preparation is not for people, and its plan is unpredictable. ”
"I don't know what Mr. Wenhe thinks?" Cao Cao asked Jia Xu, who had just joined the camp.
Jia Xu is nearly fifty years old this year, with a thin face, a dark complexion, and a little wooden and silent, looking a little gloomy. However, Cao Jun's several defeats against Zhang Xiu were all at the hands of this man, and Cao Cao greatly appreciated his talent. It is rumored that Jia Xu rarely gives advice, but every plan must be successful.
"Back to the prime minister, Liu Bei lives in the plains to get his people, lives in Xuzhou to get his land, and now he lives in Xudu to get his name, his people are heroes in troubled times, born in chaos, and he is really the prime minister's fierce enemy."
Several of Cao Cao's advisers were very jealous of Liu Bei. This came as a surprise to Cao Cao.
Actually, it's not surprising.
It is not the same for a strategist to look at a man as a master to look at a man.
When a strategist looks at a person, he first looks at his leadership ability, his influence, his ambition and ambition, etc.
When people look at people, they focus on their ability and talent.
Several strategists all felt that Liu Bei was a person with deep leadership potential, charisma, and influence, and was a great enemy.
Cao Cao didn't think Liu Bei had much ability, although Liu Bei was not bad, and it was not easy to mix from selling straw sandals to now, but he fought with Yuan Shu in front of him, and he was defeated, and he fought with Lu Bu, and he was defeated again. How powerful can such a person be? Obviously, you can't use soldiers. Defeated generals, what is there to be afraid of. Cao Cao was a little unimpressed.
So, Cao Cao asked again: "What do the princes think of Liu Zhang?" ”
"Liu Zhang is cunning, but he is quite lazy, has a weak temperament, and is easy to be deceived by his subordinates, and even left and right." Cheng Yu said.
"Liu Zhang is an outlier and cannot be measured by common sense. The military and political affairs of Guanyi Prefecture are quite strange, and they are not easy to judge in a few words. However, Liu Zhang's nature is indeed not in line with the image of the hero. Guo Jiadao.
"I think Liu Zhang is okay, although he is lazy, he is better than not being arbitrary, and he can use people." Xun Yu.
Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu again, meaning how Jia Xu looked.
Jia Xu was helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "Liu Zhang was born in a clan, so it is inevitable that he will be a little embarrassed. Although his talent is high, but his reputation is not good, it is not difficult to deal with it. People with high talents will inevitably be dustless, perverse, maverick and alone, and this is a taboo for people over time. Although Liu Zhang's current scenery is beautiful, there are many hidden dangers, and it is very difficult to level the world and lead the group. ”
The opinions of all the strategists felt that Liu Zhang was not good. It just happened to be in contrast to Liu Bei's opinion.
This is also very inconsistent with Cao Cao's view of Liu Zhang.
Cao Cao felt that Liu Zhang was much more powerful than Liu Bei, and he drove Zhang Lu in Pingnan and conquered Liangzhou twice. Why is everyone optimistic about Liu Bei.
In fact, everyone did not deny Liu Zhang's record. I just feel that Liu Zhang is the boss and leader, and his characteristics in this regard are poor.
If the position of the station is different, the problem will be different.
Because Cao Cao is not worried about Liu Bei now, he is worried about Liu Zhang, so he feels that Liu Zhang is very troublesome.
So, Cao Cao asked again: "What do the princes think of Liu Bei's strategy?" ”
Just now, Cao Cao insisted that Liu Bei come up with an idea and asked him how to deal with Liu Zhang.
Liu Bei's idea is very simple: that is, according to your old method, isn't it good for you to let Liu Zhang be the pastor of Liangzhou, at least Liu Zhang has basically stopped for the past three years, and he is busy with Liangzhou affairs. Liu Bei's meaning is to find him something to do, so that he doesn't have the extra thoughts and energy to want to look at Donggu.
Let Liu Zhang lead Liangzhou at the same time, this will be a clever plan, Cao Cao for a long time, is complacent, thinking that it is really a clever plan. As a result, now, after Liu Zhangzhen took Liangzhou, Cao Cao felt unhappy again. But no matter how unhappy you are, you have nothing to do, even if you don't have the title of Liangzhou Mu, if people really fight it, the current court is powerless and can't intervene. Therefore, Cao Cao is just sour at the moment.
As for what work to arrange for Liu Zhang next, Lao Cao himself hasn't thought about it yet, so he can only ask for everyone's opinions first.
Yu thinks Liu Bei's strategy is very good. At present, the Central Plains is not yet clear, and in an eagerness, Liu Zhang must not be allowed to look eastward. Although Liu Zhang initially settled in Liangzhou, there were many clues, and he definitely had no intention of Kanto in the short term, but it is difficult to say after a long time. Yes, I have to find something for Liu Zhang to do. ”
"Between Yiliang and Guanzhong, Guanzhong is stuck at the node, and it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Zhang will not fight Guanzhong's idea. Even if Liu Zhang is lazy, his subordinates Xu Shu Pang Long and others are all strategists, and judging from the current situation, Guanzhong is in danger. Xun You said what everyone was most afraid of, and it was also what Cao Cao was most worried about.
From the topographical point of view, between Yiliang and Liang, Guanzhong is just stuck at the connection point of the two. Liu Zhang sent troops to Liangzhou, and also leased Guanzhong's right Fufeng, which shows the importance of Guanzhong to Liu Zhang's group, which now has Yiliang. Any qualified strategist, in this case, will inevitably hit the idea of the level. This is also why Cao Cao didn't dare to mention to Liu Zhang now that he took back the lease of Youfufeng, because he was afraid that he would remind Liu Zhang, and he was afraid that he would anger Liu Zhang and lead Liu Zhang to turn back to Guanzhong.
"Liangzhou, the Xiongnu in the north have been defeated twice, and they are already weak and difficult to help. I heard that the right virtuous king Liu Qubei is also unknown in life and death. So, the Huns could not count on it. To the south, after the powerful blow of the late Taiwei Duan Cheng, Qiang Di has not yet recovered his vitality, and it is difficult to count on it. Now look, there is only the Western Regions. Since Huan Ling, the Western Regions have gradually been isolated from China, so it is better to let Liu Zhang rebuild the Western Regions Changshi Mansion. There are all kinds of troubles in the Western Regions, and it is expected that Liu Zhang will not be able to take care of him in three or five years. Guo Jia suggested.
"That's a good idea. The countries of the Western Regions have been isolated from China for many years, and now that Liu Zhang said that Liangzhou is peaceful, it is time to rebuild the Western Regions Governor's Mansion. Since he also took charge of Liangzhou, it is only natural that he will rebuild the Western Regions Long History Mansion. Thinking about it, Liu Zhang couldn't say anything. Cheng Yu agreed.
Cao Cao turned to Jia Xu again, "What do you think of Mr. Wenhe?" ”
Jia Xu had to bow down again and replied: "Its strategy is very good. Looking at Liu Zhang's new policy in Shuzhong, there is gradually a trend of eastward invasion, if its attention is eastward at this time, it will inevitably be a huge disaster, if its attention is westward, then Kanto is worry-free, just slowly digest the new policy in Shuzhong, or refer to or learn from it or prevent or deal with it, even if Liu Zhang looks eastward again, it will be difficult to make waves. Seeing Liu Bei's strategy, his intention was to let the imperial court concentrate on helping him recapture Xuzhou. (To be continued.) )
