Liu Wei pointed out the country in front of the map and outlined his strategies one by one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The four ministers thought about it for a while, and Wang Meng stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty set up a bureau in Youzhou, Qingzhou, in order to hijack the development of the princes of the Central Plains, and to make Qingyou and Youzhou interdependent with the help of the navy. ”

"Even the soldiers and horses of the state can also go out of the Huguan, and the soldiers and horses of Luoyang can send troops to Chenliu and other places to assist each other. Then His Majesty took this opportunity to destroy Yuan Shu from the south in the form of encirclement on all sides, attacking the Central Plains and Hebei, but he ignored two aspects! ”

"Oh? Two aspects, which two? Liu Wei humbly asked for advice.

"First, Liaodong, the connection point between Youzhou and Qingzhou, is now west of Youbeiping, and Liaodong is occupied by Gongsun Du in the hands of Gongsun Zhan! If you want to take Liaodong, it is no less than destroying the princes of one side! Wang Meng said slowly.

"Gongsun Du!" Liu Wei frowned, and remembered the deeds of Gongsun Du in his mind.

When Dong Zhuo established Liu Xie as emperor, Gongsun Du was recommended by his fellow villager Xu Rong and appointed by Dong Zhuo as the Taishou of Liaodong. After Gongsun Du took office, he strictly imposed strict punishments and strict laws, cracked down on powerful forces, and made the order administrative through, and his wings gradually increased. Then he attacked Goguryeo in the east, attacked Wuhuan in the west, took the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, crossed the sea to take the Donglai counties in the north of the Jiaodong Peninsula, and expanded the territory; He also recruited talents, set up a museum to open a school, recruited displaced people, and traveled overseas, as if he was the king of Liaodong. Due to Gongsun Du's enterprising and painstaking management, the Liaodong region gained temporary tranquility in the war years of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and promoted the development of local production technology and feudal culture, and Gongsun Du died in 204 AD.

"I originally planned to take advantage of the instability behind Gongsun Zhan to capture the land west of Youbeiping, but I ignored Gongsun Du, and with him in Liaodong, he became a hard bone! And what about the second? Liu Wei sighed.

"The second is the wealth of Jizhou and the Central Plains, once Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou, and if Zhao Kuangyin is ambitious, he will be able to have tens of thousands of troops in less than three years. And Qingzhou was ravaged by the Yellow Turban, and there were 50,000 soldiers and horses, which was already up to the sky, and although the situation in Youzhou was fine, as long as Yuan Shao divided his troops, it was enough to resist! ”

"Youzhou is fine, but in this way, Qingzhou is under great pressure!" Listening to Wang Meng's analysis, Cao Cao sighed.

"So what do you think is a good thing to do?" Liu Wei sat back in his position, not discouraged in his heart, but asked humbly.

"Your Majesty's thinking is not wrong at all, Qingzhou is a bureau set up by Your Majesty to contain the princes. It's just that it doesn't have as much of a role as His Majesty said, and the pressure it will face in the future will be huge, but when the situation is still unclear today, Your Majesty wants to recuperate now, and it is not easy for the ministers to accumulate strength to make assertions, but in the future, as long as they see the moves, they will be! After all, at the moment, His Majesty has the advantage! Wang Meng said respectfully.

"Then who do you think I should operate on after I have recuperated?" Liu Wei continued to ask.

Xun Yu said: "As Your Majesty said, it is Yuan Shu, from now on, it is the best strategy for Liangzhou in the rear, but the people of Liangzhou are fierce, Qiang and Hu are mixed, if Your Majesty wants to set Xiliang, it must be a few years!" And Nanyang, the people of Runan are millions, if Yuan Shu is allowed to harm the people again, there will be no one in ten, so it is best to attack Yuan Shu, not only to get the rich land of Huainan, but also to attack the Central Plains from the south. ”

"What I'm worried about is the situation of the Warring States and the strong Qin, and the princes from all walks of life will join forces to fight against me, and it will be troublesome!" Liu Wei said distressedly.

"Your Majesty's strategy for Yuan Shu is not wrong, but although Yuan Shu has no way, his soldiers and horses are extremely strong, and he can't be anxious with him, if he is entangled in the troops, it will be troublesome. In fact, as long as you occupy Nanyang, it's good! Nanyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, can advance or retreat, occupy Nanyang, and is not afraid of Yuan Shu Liu Biao. Your Majesty has a heavy army in Nanyangtun, curbing the southern princes, concentrating the troops of Luoyang, Youzhou and Zhou, and destroying Yuan Shao, so that Your Majesty's territory can be connected! Guo Jia saw that everyone was talking about the fierce competition, and said quietly.

"My plan lies in the danger, but the victory in the world is determined, Feng Xiao is to let me destroy Yuan Shao, step by step! But in this way, the southern princes of the Central Plains will definitely join forces to fight against me! Liu Wei pondered.

Guo Jia grinned and said, "Then it depends on how Your Majesty chooses!" ”

"Qingzhou is lonely overseas, after all, I can't resist the attack of Yuan Shao and others, so I will take Nanyang first, make a move to destroy Yuan Shu, and then take the opportunity to attack Yuan Shao and pacify Hebei in one fell swoop! Stability! However, Liu Wei gave up his previous strategy and decided to take Nanyang first, and then destroy Yuan Shao.

After some discussions, the future strategy was finally decided. First take Nanyang, an important town in the south, and make a plan to destroy Yuan Shu, and then gather northern forces to cut off Yuan Shao in Jizhou and connect the territory.

"Your Majesty, it's still the same sentence, the situation in the world is unclear, the situation is unpredictable, then Zhao Kuangyin may not be able to rise, Your Majesty can try to suppress him! The difficulty of stopping it from dominating Yanzhou! Guo Jia arched his hand.

"Bao Xin and the others cut first and then play, even if I send someone to Yanzhou, it won't help, how can I stop it?"

"Bao Xin and the others recommended Zhao Kuangyin, but they were worried that His Majesty would blame them for dereliction of duty, no matter whether Zhao Kuangyin won or lost, His Majesty's attention to them was reduced! If Zhao Kuangyin is really ambitious, he can reinstate Bao Xin and others, they may not be Zhao Kuangyin's heart, and they can use them to compete with Zhao Kuangyin for power and profit! ”

"How did they win Zhao Kuangyin?" Liu Wei chuckled and said, if Zhao Kuangyin is ruthless enough, with the opportunity to destroy the yellow scarf, he can get rid of a few people in the battle.

"There is another way to make Yuan Shao and Zhao Kuangyin make enemies, I don't know if Your Majesty is reluctant?"

Liu Wei was overjoyed and said: "What is the way, come quickly!" ”

"For the request of Bao Xin and others, Your Majesty can not care about it, you can first make someone secretly inform Shanyang Taishou Yuan Zhi, this person is the brother of Yuan Shao, Your Majesty can show him as the assassin of Yanzhou, but not with his soldiers and horses, he must ask Yuan Shao to help, Yuan Shao is eager for success, and will definitely not give up the opportunity to get Yanzhou! In this way, Yanzhou will definitely be sent to fight with Zhao Kuangyin! Guo Jia told the plan.

"In this way, if Yuan Shao wins Yanzhou, won't he become a great enemy!" Xun Yu immediately objected.

"Nope! It works! According to Fengxiao, he immediately made someone secretly inform Yuan Yi! Lead Yuan Shao and Zhao Kuangyin to compete! Liu Wei immediately agreed. In any case, as long as Yuan Shao sends troops to Yanzhou, there will definitely be contradictions between the two sides, and they may unite because of the situation in the future, but this contradiction is a place where it can be exploited.

"Your Majesty, can't you lead Yuan Shao into Yanzhou, wouldn't you sit back and watch Yuan Shao sit big? There are endless troubles! Xun Yu still objected.

"Wen Ruo, do you think that Yuan Shao IV and the Third Duke will be able to defeat Zhao Kuangyin? Although this person is not as famous as Yuan Shao, he must not be underestimated! Liu Wei smiled: "Okay, you guys retreat, Meng De stays!" ”

Xun Yu was helpless, so he had to retreat, but Wang Meng and Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!" Cao Cao fell to his knees in front of Liu Wei. "Hurry up, what's your sin?" Liu Wei hurriedly helped Cao Cao up.

"Your Majesty, when Wei Chen wrote back to the family, he asked the children of the family to come to Bingzhou to help His Majesty, but at that time, the children of my Cao family had already taken refuge in Zhao Kuangyin, only Yuan Rang and Miaocai came to Bingzhou! Therefore, Weichen prevented Zhao Kuangyin from getting Yanzhou before. Cao Cao hurriedly said.

"I already know this!" Liu Wei walked to the bookcase with an indifferent face, took out a stack of letters and handed them to Cao Cao: "These, take a look!" ”

"This ......" As soon as Cao Cao saw the letter, his face changed greatly, and he wanted to kneel on the ground again, but Liu Wei grabbed Cao Cao and said: "There are some things, you don't have to hide from me, Jinyi Wei supervises the world, I know it, but you are loyal, and I remember it in my heart!" ”

"These letters were sent to you by your father, and many of them are official documents of filial piety to impeach you. I forgot the content in it, I trust you, you are you, the Cao family is the Cao family, not the same! Liu Wei walked to the candlestick and burned the stack of letters containing Cao Cao's secrets.

Among them, there are letters sent by Cao Song to Cao Cao, most of which condemn Cao Cao for not taking refuge in Liu Wei and let him go home to stand on his own. Now, he was burned by Liu Wei to show his trust in Cao Cao.

"You don't have any burden, in the future, on the battlefield, I will spare your family! You serve me well! Liu Wei patted Cao Cao's hand and said in relief.

"Thank you for your trust, my Cao family will be loyal to Your Majesty for generations!" Cao Cao was grateful. (To be continued.) )
