On the last night after leaving Shouchun, Wei Yan, Lu Su, and Liu Ye sat opposite each other on the couch and drank. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wei Yan suddenly remembered the couch policy that Lu Su offered to Sun Quan in history, so he asked Lu Su and Liu Ye: "The Han family is in danger, and the Quartet is in turmoil; I think about the things of Huan and Wen, how can you teach me? ”

Liu Ye said: "The subordinates are eager to make no plans, I don't know if Brother Zijing has a high opinion?" ”

Lu Su was confident, and said: "If the ancestor of the former Han Dynasty wanted to respect the righteous emperor but did not get it, Xiang Yu would be harmed. Today's Cao Cao can be compared to Xiang Yu, why does the general have to be Huan and Wenhu? The Han family cannot be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated. For the general's plan, the only way to watch the provocation of the world is to stand in the south. Today, take the north to do many things, enter Liu Biao, exterminate Huang Zu, attack Yuan Shu, and defend the Yangtze River, and then build the emperor, in order to map the world, this ancestor is also. ”

In the original history, this strategy has a resounding name, couch strategy, when Lu Su was drinking with Sun Quan in the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), he proposed to Sun Quan similar to Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair (which occurred from the winter of 207 AD to the spring of 208 AD).

Similar to Longzhong, the couch policy later became the governing policy of Soochow. At the same time as this dialogue, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were engaged in the battle of Guandu, and the victory and defeat were not divided, but Lu Su could see at that time that the enemy in the north would only have Cao Cao, and then according to his strategy, Sun Quan eliminated Huang Zu during his third western expedition to Huang Zu.

However, Sun Quan's execution ability was too poor, and he could only occupy the southern part of Jiangxia, because Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi arrived in Jiangxia in time to guard Jiangxia in Jiangbei. Later, Liu Biao fell seriously ill and died, and his son and heir, Liu Cong, surrendered to Cao Cao. Before Eastern Wu tried to capture Jingzhou and possess the entire Yangtze River Valley, Cao Cao preemptively attacked and occupied Jingzhou in the south, and then possessed Jiangling in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. After winning the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's power was still very large, so Lu Su advocated lending Jingzhou to Liu Bei to make Cao Cao's enemies. In the end, when Lu Su was alive, he had been trying to maintain the joint resistance of the Sun and Liu families, and the joint resistance of Liu and Cao was the governing policy of Eastern Wu at that time, which actually determined the basic situation of the three-point world. It can be said that Lu Su is one of the few strategists of the Three Kingdoms!

Lu Su has been brewing for a long time, and he has long wanted to dedicate it to Wei Yan, Wei Yan asked like this just now, as if activating the outline in his chest, and he said it directly.

After saying this, Lu Su suddenly regretted a little, because he suddenly realized that it was too abrupt to say in front of Liu Ye of the Liu Han clan that "the emperor was built to seek the world, and the cause of this ancestor is also".

Wei Yan didn't say anything right away, but squinted at the look on Liu Ye's face.

At this time, Liu Ye's face was full of embarrassment and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Wei Yan looked at the look on Liu Ye's face, and immediately guessed that Liu Ye, as a member of the Liu Han clan, naturally didn't want any prince to set himself up as a king, otherwise he would simply say it like Lu Su.

Now if Wei Yan shows his ambition of "building an emperor to map the world", Liu Ye's loyalty will definitely collapse, after all, before Cao Cao was named King Wei, he always behaved like a loyal minister of the Han family everywhere, and Liu Ye would go to him, Wei Yan does not have the prestige and merits of Cao Cao now, so saying these things without permission will make Liu Ye very disappointed.

So, Wei Yanlang laughed and said: "Zijing's policy of 'taking advantage of the north to do many things, entering Liu Biao, exterminating Huang Zu, and destroying Yuan Shu, and actually defending the Yangtze River' is very good, but it is slightly biased. ”

He quietly made a look at Lu Su, and Lu Su understood, so he bowed down and said, "I want to listen to the lord's opinion." ”

Wei Yandao: "Zijing, do you still remember, how Xu Shao commented on Cao Cao in the past?" ”

Lu Su said: "When Cao Cao didn't have a famous name, he once bought a generous gift and begged Xu Shao to talk for him. Xu Shao refused to say, Cao Cao threatened Xu Shao, Xu Shao had no choice but to say: 'The son is a capable minister who rules the world, and a traitor in troubled times'. ”

Wei Yan smiled and asked, "Is it a world of knowledge or a troubled world now?" ”

Lu Su sighed: "Now the four sides are uneven, the princes are rising, each hegemonic side, and there are endless disputes, so it is naturally a troubled time." ”

Liu Ye looked at Wei Yan a little puzzled, he didn't know, Wei Yan asked what the purpose of these was intended.

Wei Yan said solemnly: "Xu Shao's ability to recognize people, there is no one in the world who can compare, he said that Cao Cao is a traitor in troubled times, Cao Cao is a traitor in troubled times, what is a traitor, a person who cheats the world, Cao Cao now seems to be very respectful to the Son of Heaven, that is because he also needs to use the prestige of the Han family to deter Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Lu Bu's generation, but if he sweeps away Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao's generation, will he still be as respectful to the Son of Heaven as he is now?" In my opinion, he must be the second Wang Mang! Not to mention anything else, once he can pacify Yuan Shao, with his heart, he will definitely abolish the Three Princes and establish himself as the prime minister, you think he is the Han Minister, but in fact he is a Han thief! ”

Lu Su was stunned: "My lord, my subordinates are unknown, what does Cao Cao have to do with the future strategy of being a traitor in troubled times?" ”

Wei Yan said: "If Cao Cao can assist the Son of Heaven like Yin Yi and Zhou Gong, then I will definitely help Cao Cao to dominate the world, but this is impossible, Cao Cao will bully the Son of Heaven sooner or later, once Cao Cao bullies the Son of Heaven, just like Dong Zhuo in the past, I will definitely raise troops to fight against Cao Cao, if I can capture Xu Du and rescue the Son of Heaven, then I will definitely assist the world like Yin Yi and Zhou Gong, if the Son of Heaven is killed by Cao Cao, then I will support Lizi Yang as the emperor!" ”

The last half of the sentence frightened Liu Ye into a cold sweat, and hurriedly crawled on the ground: "My subordinates don't dare!" Can't! ”

Wei Yan helped him up, and Zhengse asked, "Ziyang is unwilling, so if the Son of Heaven is killed by Cao Cao, what should we do?" Liu Han's clan, such as Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Liu Bei, can be established as the Son of Heaven? ”

Liu Ye's brain teaser turned, and he suddenly understood that Wei Yan was testing him, and hurriedly said: "Liu Biao is old, Liu Zhang is faint, Liu Bei's blood is far away, in the opinion of his subordinates, if today's son is killed by Cao Cao, then Liu Han's luck has declined, and it cannot be revived. ”

Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was still upright: "Zijing, Ziyang, it has been roughly decided, if the Han family has the appearance of prosperity, I am willing to be a loyal minister of the Han family and sweep the world, if the Han family cannot be revived, then I will chase the Central Plains!" Of course, regardless of whether the Han family can be revived or not, we must have the strength, the strength to sweep Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, in order to revive the Han family or win the Central Plains. ”

When Liu Ye heard Wei Yan say this, he was also relieved, and bowed down and said, "The lord is wise." ”
