Chapter 138 [Gan Ning's Advice]
Wei Yan was overjoyed, hurriedly helped Gan Ning up, and said sincerely: "If you can get the help of a tiger general like Xingba, who is both wise and brave, why worry about the great cause!" ”
Immediately, everyone sat down and drank heartily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Gan Ning let the waiters disperse, and there were only him, Wei Yan and Xu Shu at the banquet.
Gan Ning arched his hand and asked: "The lord is eloquent and strategic, civil and military, but the jurisdiction is only half a county, and it is in the land of four wars, and the soldiers are few and far between, so it is not a long-term plan, I don't know if the lord can have a long-term strategy?" ”
Like Gan Ning in the official history and romance, the current Gan Ning, who is familiar with the hundred schools of thought, already has a strategic vision that is rare for ordinary generals.
Gan Ning in history, after seeing Sun Quan, offered a strategy: "Today, Han Zuo is in danger, and Cao Cao will eventually usurp." The land of Nanjing must be fought for. Liu Biao has no foresight, and his son is stupid and can't inherit the foundation, so the Ming Duke should plan it as soon as possible; If it's late, it's the first thing to do. It is advisable to take Huang Zu first. Ancestor is old and faint this year, and he is interested in goods; invade the people, and the people are resentful; If the war equipment is not repaired, the army has no law. If Ming Gong attacks it, it will be broken. Both broke the ancestral army, the drum marched to the west, according to Chu Pass and Tuba, Shu, the hegemony can be determined. Sun Quan said: "This gold and jade theory is also! ”
Wei Yan naturally had a set of strategies in his chest, but he could see that Gan Ning was already confident and eager to try, and it was inconvenient to brush off Gan Ning's enthusiasm, so he asked with a smile on his face and hope: "What is Xingba's opinion?" ”
Gan Ning saw that Wei Yan was not stubborn and self-serving, but asked with a broken knot, and was very satisfied.
He was anxious, and couldn't hold back the urge to offer advice to the king, and hurriedly said: "Lord, the land of Nanyang, with a population of one million, is a land of anointing, but it was stolen by Zhang Xiu, a native of Xiliang, Zhang Xiu's Xiliang people and horses were corrupted, burned, killed and looted, and the people of Nanyang were all dissatisfied, and the name of the lord's benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world.
Jingxiang nine counties, the land of fish and rice, the population of five or six million, its lord Liu Biao only knows how to dance and ink, not through military killing, old and faint, the general with Nanyang elite soldiers, swept south, will be able to capture Jingxiang counties.
The land of Bashu, the wind and rain are smooth, the grain and grass are abundant, the products are abundant, it is the country of abundance, its lord Liu Zhang, cowardly and incompetent, the soldiers are not convinced, the lord can bring the Jingxiang army at that time, take Bashu, think it is the granary.
Then, the lord went down the river, attacked Sun Ce, and then took all the land of the Yangtze River.
Since then, the lord has gathered grass and grain, recuperated and recharged, and when the Central Plains changes, he can wave his army to the north, chase the Central Plains, and win the world! ”
Hearing Gan Ning's words, Xu Shu, who was resourceful, was also a little surprised, is this still the reckless man two years ago, although Lu Meng's allusion has not yet come out, but he can only use "Shibei three days should be impressed" to describe Xu Shu's mood when he looked at Gan Ning at this time.
Although Wei Yan had long known that Gan Ning had a strategic vision, the strategy that Gan Ning is presenting now sounds like it coincides with Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Strategy" in the romance, which really makes Wei Yan have to look at Gan Ning with appreciation.
Speaking of strategy, it can be a level higher than tactics, and there are only a handful of strategic visions in the entire Three Kingdoms, only Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Liu Ye in Wei, only Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng in Shu, and Gan Ning in addition to Lu Su in Wu, even Zhou Yu and Lu Meng do not have such strategic vision.
Such a strategic vision does not appear in a top strategist, but in a fierce general who is known for his recklessness and killing, which is inevitably a little funny, but this is the real existence, just like those who have studied abroad are far from having a strategic vision of a leader who has never been abroad.
If he didn't know that the big war in the Central Plains would take place in the next few years, maybe Wei Yan would also think that Gan Ning's strategy was as bullish as Longzhong's strategy, but he just knew that the Guandu War would take place four years later.
With Gan Ning's strategy to do, Jingzhou will not be able to take it in two or three years, and the road of Bashu is difficult to reach the sky, and it is even more difficult to conquer, if Wei Yan puts all his energy on Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Sun Quan in Jiangnan, it means that he will be like Sun Wu in history, watching Cao Cao sit big.
Therefore, Wei Yan smiled and said: "Xingba's strategy is really a good strategy......"
When Gan Ning heard this, he was overjoyed.
At this time, Wei Yan said again: "However, in my opinion, there are still some deficiencies. ”
Gan Ning was stunned, his expression was slightly unconvinced, and he arched his hand and said: "The last general would like to hear the lord's opinion." ”
Wei Yan smiled: "Take the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”
Gan Ning originally didn't have these things, but since two years ago, he listened to Xu Shu's advice and began to study the hundred schools of thought, there are some pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the dock fort, and he often practices calligraphy to stabilize his mood, but he is fierce and reckless by nature, and it cannot be changed overnight, and it may not be changed in his life.
Gan Ning ordered someone to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Wei Yan splashed ink on a piece of Caihou paper and drew a simple map of the distribution of forces in the world.
Gan Ning's eyes lit up when he saw that map, this was the first time he had seen such a clear and clear map of the distribution of forces, he had never seen it before, and he admired Wei Yan's talent a little more.
Wei Yan pointed to the map and said to Gan Ning and Xu Shu: "In what Xingba said, take Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Sun Ce, all according to the Yangtze River, and then wait for the Central Plains to change and enter the Central Plains, but Xingba has ever thought about how much time it will take our army to do these things, and what can Yuan Shao and Cao Cao do......
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, the biggest problem of his strategy was not to consider the problem dynamically, and he did not take into account the enemy's factors.
Wei Yan said: "At this time, Yuan Shao has occupied Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, and will definitely destroy Gongsun Zan in the next three years, and occupy Youzhou except for Gongsun Du in Liaodong. Bingzhou and Youzhou have always produced horses, and Yuan Shao will have strong cavalry at that time, and where the iron cavalry goes, who can resist it? I'm afraid that when we all take the Yangtze River, and Yuan Shao has already unified the north and the Central Plains.
Xingba, think about it, with the strength of Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, can you withstand the power of Jingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Sizhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Xuzhou? ”
Now Cao Cao's power is obviously weaker than Yuan Shao, and it is not convenient to talk about Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao, so Wei Yan took Yuan Shao as an imaginary enemy and explained it to Gan Ning, in fact, in Wei Yan's heart, the imaginary enemy has always been Cao Cao.
This contrast is too obvious, Gan Ning heard this, completely stupid, he ran from Yizhou to Jingzhou, and also traveled to Sizhou, Yuzhou and other places, naturally knowing, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou although the territory is very large, but the land is sparsely populated, the population is very small, and the land is far less developed than the Central Plains, besides, these three places do not produce cavalry, the difference in resources is so big, development, the future result, a better point is to rely on the geographical advantage of the Yangtze River to favor the south, almost to be pressed and beaten.
The failure of Gan Ning's strategy was also the failure of Longzhongce, and it was also the failure of Lu Su's strategy dedicated to Sun Quan, all of which did not take into account the huge difference in population and development between the south and the north at this time.
Gan Ning was speechless and bowed his head silently.
He was silent for a while before he raised his head and exclaimed: "The lord has extraordinary knowledge, and the last general is ashamed of himself, in the opinion of the lord, how should he develop in the future?" ”
