434 The general trend of the world (II)

Listening to Li Mi's betrayal, Lu Sheng immediately became a little disapproving, and turned to Su You and said, "Sir, I have an idea." Why don't we go directly to Wagang, what do you think? ”

Lu Sheng took the initiative to talk about Wagang, in fact, he also had a sense of existence, he wanted to prove to Li Mi that he had taken refuge in Su You earlier than him.

Everyone in the audience, except for Su You, Wang Bodang and Lu Sheng, who came to Yanbei and knew that the people in Wagangzhai were Su You's old department, the rest of the people didn't know.

At this time, after listening to Lu Sheng's words, everyone looked at Su You.

Su You smiled and said simply, "Today's Zhai Rang, the big boss of Wagang Village, is a virtual person who used to follow me, and Lu Sheng's father is also in Wagang now, but we haven't been in touch in the past few years. ”

As soon as Su You said this, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu could be regarded as knowing, after all, they and Lu Zhong and Su Zhai Rang had not looked up and looked down before.

Although they listened to Su You explain that they had not been in contact with Zhai Rang recently, they believed in Su You's personality charm and believed that as long as Su You arrived in Wagang, he would inevitably be Zhai Rang's boss.

Zhang Long immediately said with burning eyes, "Since Mr. Xu and Senior Lu are both Mr. Xu's old department, when we get there, don't they respect Mr. as the owner of the village?" It is not difficult to gather the people of the counties based on Wagang, conquer Xingyang, take the Tiger Prison Yanshi, and directly take the eastern capital! ”

Zhang Long gestured and gestured, as if Dongdu was already in their pocket, but Su You shook his head, and he didn't know how to speak.

Zhai Rang and Wang Bodang seem to be the same kind of people, they are also broad-minded, if Su You really goes to Wagang, there is a chance that Zhai Rang will hand over the position of the owner of the village to himself, but today's Dongdu is really not so easy to take.

The most important thing is that now the warlords everywhere have not yet risen, and now they want to seize Yang Guang's world, what is the righteousness?

Li Mi looked at Su You hesitantly, and also said, "Although the geographical location of Wagang is good, it is not easy to take the eastern capital!" I followed Yang Xuangan to get into trouble that day, and I still couldn't capture the Eastern Capital with an order of tens of thousands. Moreover, once we attack the eastern capital, it will inevitably cause the Great Sui soldiers and horses to resist to the death, and the elite soldiers of the Great Sui Guard Mansion will gather to the left."

Su You nodded, "There is a more important point, as a courtier of the Sui Dynasty now, if I brazenly attack the Eastern Capital, I will inevitably be scolded by the whole world." ”

"If that's the case, we really haven't had the time to enter the Central Plains now." Li Mi smiled and shook his head, and added, "But how can Yang Guang still think of you?" If you wait for his call and then enter the Central Plains, I'm afraid there will be few people left."

Li Mi's words can be regarded as a kind of irony, mocking Su You for ignoring the life and death of the people in the name of righteousness.

Li Mi's words, Su You is deeply experienced, from later generations, he understands how many people died in the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

According to his limited historical knowledge, the population of the Central Plains reached 9 million households in the 6th year of the Great Cause, with nearly 45 million people; By the ninth year of Tang Wude, the population of the Central Plains was less than 13 million, and the entire Tang Dynasty had exhausted it, and the population had not recovered to the peak of the sixth year of the Sui Dynasty.

More than 30 million people have been killed in more than 20 years of war, and seven out of 10 people have been killed.

Su You nodded in agreement with Li Mi's statement, looked at him again and asked, "Then tell me, if we want to enter the Central Plains, which base should we take?" ”

Li Mi immediately stood up, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then walked to the big map behind Su You, pointed to a location and said, "This is it!" ”

"Xiangyang?" Su You turned his head, and after taking a look, he frowned and asked, "I remember that you used a chess game to compare the world just now, what is this Xiangyang?" ”

"If you use a chess game to compare the world, the Central Plains can be divided into four sides, four corners and nine large pieces in the middle of the abdomen" Li Mi took off the small iron rod that was put aside, pointed to the map of the Central Plains and talked eloquently.

At this time, Li Mi was more like a teacher in later generations, and everyone in the audience either raised their heads or turned their heads to look in the direction of his stick.

Su You doesn't like the philosophy of black and white, so he never plays Go, but he always understands some of the rules of Go.

At this time, listening to Li Mi's vow, Su You asked, "As the saying goes, 'golden horn and silver edge grass belly', the first step should be to take the horn, right?" ”

The first step is on the corner of the chessboard, which is the Go method of later generations, and in this era, chess will still choose to fall in the middle of the belly.

Listening to Su You's words, Wang Bodang and a few others who could play chess all looked at Su You a little strangely, and they all shook their heads in Yanbei, only Su Yunfan didn't care.

Li Mi was stunned, and immediately gave a thumbs up and said to Su You, "'The gentleman is on the left, and the soldier is on the right,' the lord can say this, it's really a commanding height."

The left is yang, so the gentleman is frank; The right is yin, which reflects that the use of soldiers is sophistry.

The reason why Li Mi praised Su You was that Su You, a person who had never played chess, could see playing chess as a soldier, and secondly, it naturally coincided with what he thought.

Su You nodded and motioned for Li Mi to continue, while Wang Bodang, Lu Sheng and others knew that Su You had written "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so they would not have any doubts about Su You's genius military vision.

"In my eyes, the four corners of the world should be Guanlong, Hebei, Bashu, and the southeast."

"Mr. Su said that it is good to play chess and play the corners, and Xuan Di also agrees, why don't we go to these four corners to develop, but go to Xiangyang?" Wang Bodang asked puzzled.

"Although the lower corner is good, it is extremely difficult, after all, others will know this truth, right? Hebei is not bad, but at the moment there are Dou Jiande, Gao Shida, Wang Bo, Wei Daoer and others making trouble; But the strength of the imperial court should not be underestimated, Zhang Xutuo is a famous general, Yang Shanhui has been to Silla Baekje and returned, and they have hardly tasted defeat against the thieves. ”

When Su You heard Li Mi talk about Silla Baekje, his heart suddenly moved, and he already had his own idea.

But now Li Mi said it very well, and he also hoped that other people under his command could have the same military literacy as him, so he still quietly listened to his analysis.

Lu Sheng listened to Li Mi's analysis, and was also very impressed, and immediately nodded, "Hebei can't be occupied, and the southeast seems to be a good choice." ”

"The southeast is good, but there are almost no forces that have fought from the south to the north in history" Su You immediately shook his head and said with a smile.

Of course, Su You didn't say another important reason, that is, Yang Guang would soon go down to Jiangdu again.

It is conceivable that the area south of the Yangtze River will be the focus of the crackdown on bandits, and judging from this situation, the southeast is really not a good place for development.

Su Yunfan immediately smiled and said, "Guan Long is also a corner, as far as I know, many emperors come from there; It's a pity that our warships can't go there, and even if they do, they will have bulldozed the eastern capital long ago. ”

When Su Yunfan mentioned the warship, everyone realized that everything was on paper just now, but in fact, their main combat strength was the artillery on the warship; If you really want to start from this point, you can directly take the eastern capital directly from the mouth of the Yellow River, or you can directly take the Jiangdu directly from the mouth of the Yangtze River, or Xiangyang or something.

Regarding what Su Yunfan said, Su You still shook his head, "You're right, Longxi is the land of Zhou, Qin, Han and the Longxing of the Great Sui, but the power of the Guanlongmen valve there is too strong; For example, Li Yuan, a gate valve with heavy troops, is afraid that he has already had his own plans for Guanzhong. Besides, Guanzhong is a little closer to the Turks, and how to deal with the Turks is a problem. ”

Li Yuan would eventually revolt, which Su Yunfan knew; But what he didn't know was that Li Yuan had secretly formed an alliance with the Turks, which in Su You's opinion, was unacceptable no matter what.

Speaking of gate valves, Li Mi is not a gate valve?

Yang Xuangan's failure means a defeat of the gate valve forces, but if Yang Guang is replaced, Yang Xuangan is not the first, and it will not be the last.

The southeast could not develop, Dou Jiande occupied Hebei, Li Yuan was eyeing Guan Long, and only Bashu was left in the four corners.

For Bashu, Li Mi did not answer directly, but looked at Su You and asked, "I'm afraid that the lord has already thought about the land of Bashu, right?" ”

"The land of Bashu is similar to Nanzhong, and it is not easy to be restrained by ethnic minorities; Moreover, it has been quite stable recently, and if you want to use it as a base, you have not set up any mass base. According to my thoughts, when other forces try to conquer the land of Bashu, the flying pigeon will pass on the Nanzhong army, and it will be logical to take it when the time comes" Su You nodded and explained with a smile.

After saying this, Su You turned to Yun Fan again, "It's up to Yun Fan then." ”

Yun Fan listened to Su You's words, and also knew that Su You was going to leave himself in Nanzhong to guard Lincang, he immediately nodded and said with a smile, "After you go out to fight, I will vigorously build the transportation of Nanzhong, strive to open up the Pearl River water system, and build a cement road from Lincang to Kunchuan." ”

Su Yunfan's Pearl River water system, everyone was a little at a loss, Su You had to explain, "The Pearl River water system that Yunfan said is actually talking about the lower reaches of the Nanpan River, including the Hongshui River, the Left River, the Right River and the Ling Canal and other tributaries. It's a pity that the Nanpan River is still too small to sail our big ships, otherwise I would have chosen to take this road into the Central Plains. ”

The geographical knowledge shown by Su You and Su Yunfan's father and son was even convincing to Li Mi.

After Su You finished explaining Su Yunfan's words, he turned to Li Midao again, "Xiangyang you said just now"

Li Mi nodded, "I just talked about the four corners, and then I talked about the tile gang that occupies the middle of the chess game; Wagang is an enemy on all sides, and not only the imperial court cannot help but pull out the thorn in the heart, but even other forces are eyeing it. As for the land of the four sides, it is the land of the middle line connected by the four corners, that is, Shanxi between Guanlong and Hebei, Shandong Huaibei between Hebei and the southeast, Hanzhong between Guanlong and Bashu, and Jingxiang between Bashu and the southeast. ”

Everyone listened to Li Mi's words, and they all nodded involuntarily.

The thieves in Huaibei, Shandong Province in the four sides are everywhere, and it is the most chaotic place, and it is obviously impossible for Su You to choose.

In the land of Shanxi, Li Yuan's reputation is the strongest, although he has not yet started an incident at the moment, but even Yang Guang knows that it is only a matter of time.

Needless to say, Hanzhong, if Su You wanted to enter Hanzhong, he had to abandon his warships and artillery.

As for Jingxiang, it is already the base of Zhu Cang, the king of Garuda, at this moment.

Zhu Cang once committed a murder and corpse mutilation case in the Eastern Capital in the third year of the Great Cause, and now he has become a man-eating demon, eating wherever he wants.

If you can crusade against this demon, it seems that you have all the righteous name of Su You!
