Yang Xiu, who was standing in front of Cao Zhi at this time, knew in his heart that after he became the first person in Cao Zhi's court, the real test he faced was coming, and he had long known that the reason why Cao Zhi demoted Sima Yi only to his official position and did not let him stay away from the Wei court was just to prevent himself from being able to resist Liu Feng's attack one day.

In this case, Yang Xiu knew that this was the first time he fought with Liu Feng, and he must achieve an ending that made Cao Zhi look good, only in this way could Cao Zhi's heart gradually accumulate confidence in himself, and only in this way could Cao Zhi completely forget Sima Yi's past in the future.

But how could Yang Xiu not know Liu Feng's ability, since he first met Liu Feng in Jiangling, he knew that Liu Feng was by no means a person who was subordinate to others, sure enough, Liu Feng's subsequent development was exactly the same as he expected, and he found in his research on Liu Feng in these days that whenever Liu Feng personally led the troops to lead the war, he almost never had a defeat.

Especially when he had just become independent and was still the weakest force in the Central Plains, he was able to pocket Liu Zhang's Yizhou in a few days with the method of Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang, such courage and ability are absolutely unique in the real Central Plains, such an opponent, just thinking about it makes Yang Xiu shudder a little.

But he also knew in his heart that if he couldn't defeat Liu Feng, then even if he was in the position of one person under ten thousand people in this Wei country, it would be useless, the major events in the world would be together for a long time, and now it was not long before the next merger, the overlord of the world was mostly produced between Cao Zhi and Liu Feng, if he, the first person under Cao Zhi, did not have the confidence and courage to go to war with Liu Feng, it was obvious that Cao Zhi's power was worried, so for Yang Xiu, Since Cao Zhi intends to start a war with Liu Feng first to spy on the truth, he must talk about the beautiful completion of this matter.

"Xiu has already had this intention, Liu Feng is rampant, it has been a long time, my Wei State is now not only full of soldiers, but also unprecedented unity in the court, at this time, I will be able to rub Liu Feng's sharp spirit, I don't know if the lord has any ideas?"

Cao Zhi saw that Yang Xiu didn't have any flinching expression, so he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and then said unhurriedly: "I haven't thought about this matter yet, it's better for Ancestor De to say what he thinks in his heart, you and me, no need to be polite, no matter what comes to mind in my heart, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

As soon as Yang Xiu heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, with Cao Zhi's mind and mind, how could he not think about it before asking, he said this, it was just another test for Yang Xiu. Fortunately, the question of fighting with Liu Feng was almost something that Yang Xiu had been thinking about every day since Sima Yi withdrew from the Wei court, so at this time, Cao Zhi asked him, and he didn't have any difficulties, so he sorted out his thoughts a little and opened his mouth.

"The minister thinks that although Liu Feng's territory is also a lot now, but on the map, it is not condensed in one place, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, is lined up, Jiaozhou and Nanzhong behind him, not the king's land, and there are not many resources available, it is already good if Liu Feng is not delayed, so Liu Feng is bound to use most of his troops for defense, otherwise those bordering my Wei or Jiangdong, how can they be preserved?"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Cao Zhi, only to see that Cao Zhi was listening with interest, and seeing Yang Xiu's expression, he just bowed his head slightly, signaling Yang Xiu to continue speaking.

"But Liu Feng must also know in his heart that after the lord rectifies the court, he will definitely fight with him, so he will definitely prepare a sufficient number of mobile soldiers in his hands, so that there will be laxity in the guards on the long defense line!"

Yang Xiu's words were really categorical, because this matter was the result of more than ten days of sketching the budget on the map, and he expected that Liu Feng would not be able to recruit a very large number of sergeants during the years of winning Yizhou and Jingzhou, so in terms of attack and defense, there would definitely be one and the other.

"In the opinion of Dezu, where will Liu Feng's guards be lax?" After Cao Zhi heard this, he asked quietly.

Although Yang Xiu has some great achievements, but he is not a person who has a false appearance, Cao Zhi asked so much, naturally it was difficult for him, so he said: "According to Xiu's opinion, Xiangyang, Shangyong, Hanzhong, Liangzhou, these several boundaries are where our army can plot, although there will be heavy guards, but they are all places where Liu Feng has an unstable foothold, if our army chooses a place and finishes its work in a battle, it can be taken to deter Liu Feng, and at the same time enhance the prestige of our Wei State!" ”

These locations mentioned by Yang Xiu are either strategic places bordering the territory of Wei and Liu Feng, or the locations newly occupied by Liu Feng, although they are not the easiest places for Wei to capture, but they are the easiest places to hold after being captured, I have to say that Yang Xiu is indeed quite thorough in analyzing Liu Feng.

"Then I don't know what Dezu thinks, if we want to test Liu Feng's ability, which of these locations is more appropriate to attack first?"

Cao Zhi asked this question, Yang Xiu knew what he said, Cao Zhi had probably analyzed it very thoroughly, and the reason why he was able to listen to it all the time was because Cao Zhi wanted to take the school Yang Xiu, and on the other hand, it was natural that what Yang Xiu said coincided with what Cao Zhi thought in his heart, if it weren't for that, Cao Zhi would have asked him a long time ago.

Hearing this question, Yang Xiu couldn't help but grit his silver teeth, obviously made up his mind, and then reached in a loud voice: "These locations, no matter which one of them, if Xiu leads the troops to go, he will desperately fetch them for the lord, so as to deter Liu Feng and enhance the prestige of our army!" ”

Yang Xiu's determination made Cao Zhi agree with him a little, Liu Feng's prestige has now been formed in the Central Plains, and the army under Liu Feng's command is also crowned with the prestige of the tiger and wolf division, and the name is stronger than the previous Cao Cao's troops who have destroyed Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and other forces, so Wei urgently needs a victory to regain the name of his winning division, and in such a battle to regain the direction of the wind, confidence is undoubtedly very important.

"Although Dezu is full of confidence, but as the lord of Wei, I want to ensure that this battle is stable, Dezu said several locations, a few days ago I have sent a detailed work to understand, if you want to achieve a big victory in this battle, only one of them is a safe choice......"
