"Kong Ming, how can you be so rude! Please forgive me, the lord is young, Kong Nian is young and ignorant of the general situation, but he is talking wildly! ”

Zhuge Jin listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and couldn't help but teach Zhuge Liang a lesson with a slight change in his expression, and then asked Zhu Wei to excuse Zhuge Liang for his guilt, very worried that Zhu Wei would blame Zhuge Liang for this.

And Zhuge Jun on the side also looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, originally he listened to Zhuge Jin's words and gained a lot, feeling that he could learn something, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to suddenly say this kind of words with a big grin, even he felt that Zhuge Liang was a little too taken for granted.

Xu Shu, who was only familiar with Zhuge Liang on the side, just smiled and said nothing, he knew very well Zhuge Liang's weird preferences, and he often liked to use such words to attract people's attention and surprise, and then explain his true thoughts and use reason to convince others.

Zhuge Liang also looked at Zhu Wei and smiled faintly, although Zhuge Liang at this time did not have the posture of fighting the Confucians in the Sun Quan Hall of Eastern Wu in the future, but he still had the attitude of being brave against the monarch and the marquis.

"Ziyu don't worry, haha, your second brother, Wei has already heard it many times in Yuanzhi, Fang Cai's words must be jokes! Kong Ming, let's talk about what you really think! ”

Of course, Zhu Wei is also very familiar with Zhuge Liang's set, in fact, he also likes to play this hand, but unfortunately now he will not be fooled by Zhuge Liang's preemptive momentum.

Therefore, Zhu Wei just looked at Zhuge Liang lightly, waiting for him to continue to say words that could move him, but looking at Zhuge Liang, who was now young, Zhu Wei actually felt that he seemed to be able to stand in the upper position and quietly wait for Zhuge Liang to pretend.

"No, this is what you think in your heart! Qian Tanghou was worried that the Central Plains were strong, so he planned to stay in the south and sit back and watch the contention, and it would be for the benefit of the fisherman. However, Qian Tanghou didn't know that fighting may be weak to the enemy and weak himself, but he can also fight and raise the war, and the more he fights, the stronger he becomes. After each battle before, Qian Tanghou was often able to increase his military strength a little, but it was weakened by the war? Now in the Central Plains, Yuan Shu seems to be a soldier, but in fact it is a virtual frame, the so-called general is the soul of the army, Yuan Shu is careful and greedy, although there is Yuan's heritage, but in Nanyang was driven by Liu Biao, in Huainan is also inactive, the previous was defeated by Xuzhou Lu Bu! It can be seen that although Yuan Shu is strong, it is really empty meat! In this way, if you sit and watch Cao Cao fight with him, I am afraid that it will be like a sharp blade cutting meat, which will not weaken Cao Cao's power, but will make Cao Cao's knife a little sharper! ”

Zhuge Liang seems to have studied and understood the situation on Yuan Shu's side, so he can see the reality of Yuan Shu at a glance, obviously in his opinion, if Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fight, it may not be a defeat for both sides, but it may make Cao Cao stronger.

It's like Zhu Wei attacked Jingbei, but now he has annexed many of Liu Biao's troops, so that his army has increased instead of decreasing.

It can be seen that war sometimes may not kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 self-damage, so it can only happen when two tigers are really fighting, but if one side is a tiger and the other side is a cat, then how can the tiger be injured.

When Zhuge Liang said this, he continued to speak, "Now that Qian Tanghou has achieved his momentum, it is difficult to hide it again, but it is difficult for Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao not to be afraid. With the rich Tang Hou Tiger standing beside him, how could a cunning wolf like Cao Cao send troops at will? Even if Qian Tanghou intended to seek the land of Yizhou and Hanzhong, it could not eliminate the threat of Qian Tanghou to the Central Plains. Therefore, Liang thought that he could not be a bystander, but it was better to stretch out his hand generously! As for Yizhou, Hanzhong and other places, now Qian Tanghou wants to take, I am afraid it is not easy, even if it is taken, it cannot be made up for a while, but it is necessary to divide troops to defend, so that if there are few soldiers, they will be weak, and if there are many soldiers, they will be idle, and they will waste money and food, which is really chicken ribs! ”

Zhu Wei listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and was really moved by the reason he said, thinking carefully about the original history, Cao Cao didn't seem to spend much effort to beat Yuan Shu.

So Yuan Shu's originally seemingly abundant money and grain capital and hundreds of thousands of troops, are they all decorations?

It seems that Zhu Wei's history and romance have not been described in detail in this aspect, and it seems to be roughly said that Yuan Shu was arrogant and extravagant, and spent a lot of money to build palaces and palaces on Shouchun's side, so he consumed a lot of reserve materials.

At this time, after Sun Ce announced his separation from Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu lost Jiangdong and Guangling County, which were grain-producing places.

Then Yuan Shu was defeated by Lü Bu and Cao Cao twice, and was plundered by Lü Bu and Cao Cao in Huaibei and Huainan, so there was really not much capital left.

As a result, Yuan Shu's luck was too bad, it could really be regarded as a house leak that happened to rain overnight, the ship was broken and the head wind was encountered, but the core territory of Yuan Shu, Huainan, had a great drought and famine, and later Yuan Shu's side could not even meet the army's rations, and many soldiers were hungry.

So even Yuan Shu's subordinate generals Lei Bo and Chen Lan led troops to mutiny, looted some grain and grass and went to the mountains to be the king of the mountain, which shows the situation of Yuan Shu's defeat.

After that, Yuan Shu wanted to go to the north to seek refuge in Yuan Shao, but was blocked by Cao Cao sent Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and finally Yuan Shu could only go to the rebel generals Lei Bo and Chen Lan, but he was not accepted, so Yuan Shu went to nowhere and vomited blood and died.

It can be seen that Cao Cao did not suffer much loss from fighting Yuan Shu, but instead gained a lot of territory, and at the same time, he should have received a lot of Yuan Shu's pawns.

Then Cao Cao attacked everywhere in the Central Plains, conquered Xuzhou Lü Bu in the east, collected a large number of Lü Bu's generals, and went to the northwest to attack Hanoi, and sent Zhong Xuan to the west of Guanzhong in the name of the Son of Heaven to control the Guanzhong army, eliminate the original Dong Zhuo's remaining northwest warlords Duan Xuan and Li Dao, and subdued Han Sui and Ma Teng in the name of the Son of Heaven, so as to also control the land of Guanzhong, and gradually improved his strength to the situation that he could compete with Yuan Shao in the north.

And if Zhu Wei still attacked Yizhou and Hanzhong first according to the original strategy, not to mention that it would take time and troops to capture these places, even if they were defeated, I was afraid that they would have to send troops to defend them, and indeed as Zhuge Liang said, they would not be beneficial for a while, but would disperse Zhu Wei's forces.

But if Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains, then the war background will be greatly enhanced, and the Central Plains will be condensed, and Cao Cao's troops will also be gathered together, and he can gather troops to fight at any time.

In this comparison, Zhu Wei seems to really have the meaning of becoming bigger, will it be the tail that will not fall off in the end?

It is estimated that Yuan Shao, who was in the north, also got the false name of the general given by Cao Cao, as well as the benefits of the governors of Ji, Qing, You, and the four states, and let Cao Cao grow in the Central Plains.

So these are all historical lessons worth learning from.

Now it seems that it is better to temporarily put down the forces of Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, who are not a threat to Yizhou and Hanzhong, and concentrate on directly joining the battle for the Central Plains, after all, now Yuan Shu is a false shell, Cao Cao's strength is not strong, and Zhu Wei's strength is not weak, so Zhu Wei may not lose in the end if he joins the battle for the Central Plains now.

As long as Zhu Wei can seize the Central Plains, then the strength in the late Eastern Han Dynasty can really look at the Quartet...... [.]
