When Gao Shun pulled Lu Su up, Gao Shun laughed happily, but Lu Su was moved to tears.

Gao Shun's bow let Lu Su worship the Lord, let Lu Su feel the importance of the Lord to him, for this kind of kindness, he will repay him with life and death.

Lu Su bowed again: "It is Su's honor to be appreciated by the Lord!" ”

Gao Shun's most admired celebrity in the late Han Dynasty in his previous life was Lu Su, only he was the strategist of Eastern Wu, and the most shrewd person in the Three Kingdoms era, because the Three Kingdoms were planned and promoted by him, and Zhou Yu and others were only tacticians, if there was no Lu Su, there would be no Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair would become an empty talk, and now Lu Su worships the Lord, Gao Shun of course wants to hear his strategic planning, so he said: "Hahaha, Zi Jing sit down, please plan carefully for Shun!" ”

Lu Su said solemnly: "Lord, it was Su Menglang just now, if you want to plan carefully, you must fully understand the true strength of the General's Mansion, and Su only knows the strength of the General's Mansion, and he doesn't dare to say anything!" ”

"Just say it!"

"Lord, how can it be child's play in military affairs?"

"Okay, I'll give you an overview of the situation first, and then I'll analyze it."

"Yes, my lord!"

"The General's Mansion was under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and Liangzhou, from which Yongzhou, Pingzhou and Anzhou were divided, in addition to Qingzhou and Sanfu regions, as well as Yanzhou composed of some prefectures and counties of Yanzhou and Yuzhou; The territory is not small, the population is large, all are rich land, even the remote border counties are also rich because of the provision of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, Zi Jingda does not have to worry about money and food; As for the army, there are now 60,000 cavalry in Liangzhou and Sanfu, 30,000 cavalry in Yongzhou, 35,000 cavalry each in Anzhou, Youzhou, and Pingzhou, and 50,000 cavalry in Bingzhou, and 60,000 cavalry in Qingzhou and Yanzhou. There are 70,000 cavalry in Jizhou, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion; There were also 2,500 cavalry and 3,000 infantry in the border counties, which were under the jurisdiction of the frontier guards and commanders. ”

Lu Su was shocked after hearing this, he had heard about the huge territory before, and now it has been confirmed; The lord dared to say that he didn't have to worry about money and food, which was very consistent with the rumored champion Hou Fuke!

And the strength of the army is far beyond his estimate, how much food is needed to support it!

There were nearly 400,000 cavalry alone, and at least the same number of infantry.

Since he has such strength, why be afraid of Dong Zhuo?

Lu Su said happily: "Lord, since you have such strength, why don't you wave your troops south, Dong Zhuo can be destroyed overnight, why are you afraid of the warlords of the Central Plains?" ”

"Hahaha, Zijing, you must first secure the outside, there is no stable surrounding environment, and it is not good for the soldiers of the border counties to participate in the dispute of the Central Plains, otherwise, those barbarians will take the opportunity to make trouble, drag their feet, and even be used by Dong Zhuo and the warlords of the Central Plains."

Lu Su was anxious and said: "Lord, time is not waiting for me, when we are stable, Dong Zhuo and the warlords of the Central Plains are also developing, why not develop slowly after unifying the Central Plains, and finally plot around the periphery." ”

Sure enough, Lu Su, Xi Zhicai and others didn't know about the existence of the system, so they made the same judgment, which couldn't be blamed on them, so they said: "After discussing with the military divisions of various states, the military division made a final decision, stabilize the interior within two years, and next year we must pacify Liangzhou, eliminate the Wuhuan tribe in Liaodong County, and then wave our troops south!" Moreover, now we are vigorously developing the naval army in preparation for the occupation of Jiangnan. ”

Lu Su was shocked in his heart, it turned out that the princess had thought so far and arranged so carefully, fortunately she had taken refuge in the lord, but he was more suspicious than before, why would the princess invite him and so many well-known scholars, he was not yet weak, he did not have any fame, how did the lord know about him?

However, the lord arranged in this way, after stabilizing the border counties, he would shrink his forces and quickly occupy Tongguan and Hangu Pass, and the armies of Pingzhou, Youzhou, Anzhou and Bingzhou could move south, which not only solved the problem of dispersion of troops, but also eliminated the disadvantages of too long a long line, and the logistics supply would be easier; At that time, with the elite soldiers and strong generals who had experienced the test of war, they took advantage of the great victory to go south to the Central Plains, and they would be invincible all the way.

Sure enough, it was the perfect plan.

Seeing that Lu Su was pondering, Gao Shun asked, "What is Zijing's next step?" ”

Lu Su came back to his senses and thought to himself, there are excellent military divisions in all states, and there is no shortage of wise men in the General's Mansion, otherwise such a grand plan would not have been designed; With his age, experience and background, he did not have an advantage, so he would like to find a unique way to create a new line, so he said: "Lord, Su is not familiar with Northern Xinjiang, I hope to train in the army for a while, and have a general understanding of Northern Xinjiang, and then I hope that the Lord can arrange Su in the Jing and Yang regions, and can assist the Lord to occupy those areas in the future; The officers and soldiers of the lord are mainly cavalry, and they are all northerners, who are not accustomed to the southern environment, which is not conducive to fighting in the south, so they must occupy a piece of territory in the Jing and Yang areas in advance and train the troops in advance; Outsiders don't know that Su has taken refuge in the lord, which is very beneficial to the lord and a rare opportunity for Su. ”

Gao Shun didn't expect Lu Su to think like this, in his impression, Lu Su is better at strategic planning, if he implements such a plan, wouldn't it be useless?

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Su is still too young.

However, if this plan is executed well, it will have unexpected effects; In particular, the construction of ports and wharves along the rivers or along the coastal areas will be very conducive to the logistical supply of the troops going south in the future.

So, Gao Shun said: "Yes, Zijing's idea is good, but how to implement it?" Where to stay? ”

Lu Su also felt that this was very difficult, and still said firmly: "It must be a county along the coast or along the river, and the navy is indispensable!" The specific location needs to be applied to the imperial court. ”

The idea is similar to Gao Shun, which makes Gao Shun feel very gratified.

However, now the prefectures and counties of Jingzhou and Yangzhou have lords, and even if they are appointed by the imperial court, it is difficult to take office, which makes Gao Shun very difficult.

Suddenly, Gao Shun had an idea and asked, "Since the Jing and Yang areas are temporarily inconvenient, can you settle in Xuzhou first?" Shun has a great relationship with Mr. Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao, Guangling County has the Huai River in the north and the Yangtze River in the south, so it is very convenient to develop the navy and facilitate logistics and supply. ”

Lu Su was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Haha, great, my lord, Su's home is in Dongcheng County, Xiapi Kingdom, located between Xiapi Kingdom, Jiujiang County and Guangling County. ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he was very embarrassed and explained: "Zijing doesn't know, this year Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Cao Bao and others are fighting in the Huaihe region, and the main battlefield between Dongcheng County and Xuyi County is estimated to be dilapidated at the moment; Zijing's home must have also been affected by the war, and when it is stabilized, Shun will definitely build a luxurious mansion for Zijing. ”

"Haha, the lord has filtered, a mansion, what's the point, besides, Su has already set up the base in the mountains, and it must be well preserved."

In this case, Gao Shun was relieved, considering that Lu Su was not as weak as the crown, he said: "I asked Tao Thorn Shi for Guangling County, to make up for the loss of Xuzhou with money and grain, and Shun will arrange a Taishou, Zijing can be appointed as the county and military division, and the actual work is mainly based on Zijing, and Zijing will take over the post of Taishou two years later." ”

Lu Su was overjoyed, according to his wealthy background, at most engaged in the county officials, to stay up to middle age, to be able to do the county, the lord is already a fluke, when he is old, to do the position of the Taishou, is the best ending, now the lord can be too shou when he is an adult, it is too exciting for him, busy thanks: "Thank you for the trust of the lord, Su will not disgrace the mission!" It was decided that the lord would form a strong naval army and a valiant infantry unit. ”

Later, the two agreed on some details, Lu Su wrote a letter to the judge, Fang Liang and Tao Qian, and then sent a senior civil official and several senior military attachés, as well as dozens of intermediate and junior civil officials and hundreds of intermediate and junior military attachés, as well as five hundred sailors, to secretly go to Guangling County with Lu Su.

The letter to the trial was to ask him to send an envoy to Xuzhou and ask for Guangling County; The letter to Fang Liang was asking him to provide Lu Su with the greatest help; The letter to Tao Qian stated that it was a serious relationship, to avoid a conflict between Xuzhou and Yuan Shu, and that Gao Shun promised compensation such as money and grain, and demanded that the area south of the Huai River be returned to Guangling County, and the territory north of the Huai River in Guangling County should be returned to Xia Pi State, so as to facilitate defense and management.

Gao Shun believed that Tao Qian would definitely agree to Gao Shun's plan, so that Tao Qian would not lose anything, not only getting rid of the heavy burden of Guangling County, but also greatly increasing its security.

Gao Shun even looked forward to Lu Su opening up a new situation in Guangling County and helping him implement the goal of strategically occupying Yangzhou first.
