He Chen couldn't bear to open the surname board, and the number of intelligence 99 hung high on it made He Chen dizzy, his eyes were full of little stars, what an awesome value. From then on, the layout of the world, between offense and defense, strategic checks and balances, the road ahead of He Chen suddenly became extremely clear. In the past, although he knew that he would take the eight counties, take Sichuan, go to Dongwu, and go to the Central Plains, but he only had a vague direction in which step and how to arrange it. Now it's very different, with Guo Jia, his ability to grasp the entire strategy and the ability to control the development of the situation can be sorted out clearly.

Just when He Chen's mind was full of eyes on the world, Guo Jiayufeng suddenly turned around and said, "I don't know what the state pastor plans to do after returning to Yuyuan Pass?" ”

He Chen's mind turned, is this a two-way choice for applying for a company in the 21st century? The company selects talents, and this talent also picks the company? He Chen thought about it, his expression became a little cautious, and after careful consideration, he said slowly: "It is difficult for the princes of all roads to work together, and Nanyang is even more difficult to support alone, and now this plan is only to retreat to Wancheng, rectify the people, first map the eight counties of Jingzhou, and then wait for the time to enter the country, seek to capture Guanzhong, and kill Dong Zhuo." ”

How do you know that Guo Jia shook his head lightly, his eyes were sharp, his expression seemed to be smiling, and he said solemnly: "Why did the state pastor hide it?" Or are you worried about telling your subordinates? Or so, just if Jia didn't ask this sentence. ”

He Chen's eyebrows raised, this Guo Jia is not only very good at checking his face, but also eloquent, and in a few words, he has to find out what is in his heart. Thinking that this matter would be clarified sooner or later, he didn't hesitate and said: "Fengxiao is really born with a good eye, and this matter will not be hidden from you, a certain county in the eight counties is bound to win, but Guanzhong is in a hurry." In addition, Jingzhou connects the upper and lower levels, is the key to the north and south, and has always been an important military town, if only one Jingzhou is guarded, it lacks the necessary strategic depth, once the world changes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make any big achievements. ”

Guo Jia nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, it turns out that Lord Zhou Mu has such a far-sighted plan, but his subordinates are blind. It's just that I don't know how to win the eight counties? How to widen the space after taking it? ”

When Guo Jia asked this, Tian Feng and Xun You also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

He Chen wanted to continue, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he said with a smile: "I was waiting for Feng Xiaojiao to teach a certain person." ”

Guo Jia did not retreat at all, and probably wanted to show himself, but held his head high and said eloquently: "The eight counties of Jingzhou sit across the north and south of the Yangtze River, with a vast territory, abundant products, outstanding people, the danger of the north according to the Yuanyuan, and the solidity of Xiangyang; There are big rivers and ravines in the south, and the feet of two lakes; It embraces Jiangling in the west, curbs the throat of central Sichuan, leads to Wuhui in the east, and benefits the South China Sea. With the land of one state, it is enough to support the overall strategy, and the north can enter Luoyang and Guanzhong to plot the Central Plains; The west can go out of the Jiangling waterway, and the Shuo River goes straight up, touching the fertile soil in the river for thousands of miles; In the east, you can peek down the river to see the Jianghuai defense line. Therefore, it is a place where the soldiers of all dynasties must fight, on the one hand, it is its important geographical location, and on the other hand, it can be self-sufficient, and the rich country hides soldiers. ”

He Chen nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, that's right." According to the Yangtze River and the defense of the world, there is Shutou, Chu waist, Wuwei defense chain said, Jingzhou eight counties through the east and west, can build a defense line across the Yangtze River, shield the south of the Yangtze River to extend longitudinally, protect the Yangtze River south of the rich country and the people. Since ancient times, there have been two lakes ripe, the world is enough, once the management is done properly, it will never lose to the world's granary, Sichuan and Shu. ”

In fact, Uncle He didn't know what the line of defense was, but he had read a lot of novels before, and he was adding comments on the Internet, so he had some impressions and said so.

A hint of surprise flashed in Guo Jiaqing's eyes, obviously he didn't expect that He Chen's rugged appearance concealed the eyes of looking at the world and drawing the ground, and he also agreed with his forehead: "What the state pastor said is exact." ”

Xun You interjected at the right time: "The two lakes that the state pastor said, but Yunmengze and Pengze Lake? ”

He Chen sweated for a moment, the two lakes meant Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, but it was not called at this time, and then nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Xun You showed a deeply appreciative expression at this time.

Under He Chen's signal, Guo Jia continued: "In the land of the eight counties, the first to bear the brunt is Nanjun. There is the Yangtze River moat in the south of this place, there is the shelter of Xiangyang in the north, there is the aid of Wuchang in the east, there is the defense of Yiling in the west, the terrain is dangerous, the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, once this place is occupied, the influence is enough to radiate the counties on the same side, this is one of them. Secondly, Nanjun can become a backing point, where the land is fertile and the population is large, which can provide sufficient resources of soldiers and food and grass. Third, this place has convenient transportation, which is the key road to control Bakui, the upstream of Xianghan, the rivers and lakes, and Wu Yuezhi said. The state pastor wants to take the southern county, and its center of gravity is the important town of Xiangyang. Xiangyang is between the Qinling Mountains and the Jianghan Plain, and most of the upper reaches are mountains, with many small basins and valleys in the mountains; Downstream, the lakes are continuous and low-lying. The song of the Han River in the north is opposite to Fancheng across the water. There is Da Hyun Mountain in the south, and the mountains in the southwest are like a screen, and the peaks are facing each other, and the terrain is precipitous. It has a pivotal status. When Xiangyang attacked Jiangling, the two divisions of water and land could advance simultaneously, and Xiangyang was at a high level, with the advantage of attacking the upper reaches and the lower reaches and overlooking the plains in the mountains. ”

"Therefore, the land of Xiangyang is bound to be won. It's just that now all the counties in Jingzhou are in chaos, the clan thief party is rampant, and the counties are guarding their own troops. Jiangxia people Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng supported troops to occupy Xiangyang; Since Sun Jian was appointed as the pastor of Yuzhou by Yuan Shu, Su Dai led Changsha Taishou and Huarong Changbei Yu cholera; Wuling County Shou Cao Yin acted in yang and yin. It's just that these are all kids' itching, and they are not enough to worry about. With the prestige of today's state pastor, coupled with the edict of the imperial court, it can be divided and crusaded. Nanjun and Jiangxia are located in high profit, and the clan is powerful, so they cannot be attacked in a hurry, but outwitted; The three counties of Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang are in turmoil all the year round, thieves are rampant, and the state capital is weak. Once these five counties are stabilized and stable, the remaining Wuling and Zhangling will be in the pocket without the power of the state pastor. The eight counties of Jingzhou can be determined. ”

Guo Jia's words, He Chenmao, who listened to this, suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly realized. There has never been more clarity than ever on the road ahead. I suddenly felt a lot of emotion in my heart, and one of my current shortcomings was finally repaired with the arrival of the ghost material Guo Xi.

Xun Youzhi's ability is more focused on internal affairs, and Guo Jia is naturally inferior to this aspect, but when it comes to strategic and military vision, although the former is outstanding, it is still inferior to the overall strategic situation. Although Tian Feng is full of scheming, has a vicious vision, and can win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, his surname is Gang, and he is upright and upright, not that this is not good, but the art of war is cloudy, and it is right to win with odds. Guo Jiasheng can organically combine the two.

It seems that when it comes to happiness, Guo Jia is like opening the chatterbox and gushing: "Although Hebei and Guanzhong are all prosperous places, and the hegemons of the past dynasties have peeped into them, but Yuan Shao is the third prince of the fourth dynasty, and his reputation spreads far and wide. Dong Zhuobing retreated, according to the danger of the four stops, and then there were Liang and Yong Erzhou to support each other, and it was even more urgent. There are eight counties in the state, and there are countless choices at the moment: but the subordinates think that the key lies in only two points: first, along the Shuojiang River in Jiangling, Kui Mouba County, and then take the country of Sichuan and Shu Tianfu, control the granary of the world, and at the same time, completely shield the unfavorable topography factors of Jingzhou from the upper stream, consolidate Jingzhou's slender waist, and firmly grasp it; Second, go down the river, take Yu and Yangzhou, and then defend the Jianghuai and Si defense lines. So as to truly build a complete Yangtze River barrier. If the feat of no one before is completed, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains can be put on the journey. It's just that the land of Shuzhong and Wuhui has its own advantages and disadvantages, no matter which one is taken first, it will inevitably have a major impact on the future war situation. ”

"In the opinion of his subordinates, the state pastor can first enter the Yizhou, although Liu Yan of Sichuan Shu is a member of the Han family, but his heart can be punished, if he is not on the table of the first emperor, from the new leadership of the state pastor system, the local will not appear at the speed of the strong separation, support the army self-respecting situation. Secondly, at this time, Sichuan and Shu were chaotic, the Yellow Turban remnants were endless, and there were many thieves, and if Liu Yan did not enter Sichuan for three or five years, he would not be able to do his best. It's a great time to take it as it already has. Once he is stabilized, coupled with the dangerous checkpoints in Shuzhong, it will inevitably be a difficult war that will last for a long time. If Shuzhong can be pacified and protect the flanks of Jingzhou, then they can go down the river and join the troops of Eastern Wu. ”

"As long as these two places can fall into the hands of the state herdsman, they can stabilize the rear, fight strongly, and wait for the time to mature, the south can raise the troops of Jingxiang and the north to attack the Central Plains. The west can be out of the elite of Shu, will hunt the land of Qinchuan, if the two roads echo each other, the end of the attack, Dong Zhuo's destruction is just around the corner. ”

Silence, deathly silence.

Except for He Chen, Xun You and Tian Feng were all shocked and speechless.

It's not that there is anything particularly brilliant about Guo Jia's idea, but that his unscrupulous and bold remarks, attacking states and counties that are not under governance, and what is the difference between rebellion? Although He Chen has been fighting for many years, he is morally defensible, whether it is to crusade against Dong Zhuo, or to prepare to collect the eight counties next, at least he still has a state pastoral edict on his head.

Guo Jia saw that although He Chen's expression was calm, from his unblocking remarks and rebuttals, he knew that he had guessed his mind correctly. This is clearly the same as I estimated, it is from the hero. At the same time, he couldn't help but say to the two Tian Feng and Xun You: "At this time, the world is in chaos, and the court decree is only a hundred miles out of Beijing, and the princes from all over the country divide their forces and occupy one side. Extraordinary times must use extraordinary means, otherwise how can we calm the world and release Nanshan? ”

Although Tian Feng and Xun You knew that what Guo Jia said was very reasonable, they couldn't accept it for a while.

"Bang bang bang...... Wonderful, listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years. The applause rang out, and He Chen couldn't help but stand up, sincerely moved and admired.

Guo Jia's thoughts coincide with many comments in later generations. It can be seen how outstanding his military talents are.
