"Gongda said that the main thing is to cultivate life and recuperate, what do you think?" Cao Cao looked at the rest of the strategists, and after a while, seeing that no one was still speaking, he said, "Gongda, you can talk about it in detail!" ”

"At this time, the lord's biggest enemy in the south, Liu Xiu, became more and more powerful, only in the second half of the year, just like the lord, he expanded his land for thousands of miles, doubled, and the people and troops increased greatly..."

Xun You did not hesitate and continued to explain: "If at this time, the lord still insists on going south, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch it..."

"Moreover, the lord has recently won several states in Hebei, and he has not yet been integrated, there are many foreign places outside the north, there are still Gongsun clans in the northeast, and the states in the west have not really been controlled, and the Sun clan is ready to move..."

"Under the great loss of the main public soldiers and horses, how can we take care of it comprehensively...?!" Xun You asked rhetorically: "In the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, there was a strategy of combining vertical and horizontal, distant and close attacks, and today, the heroes are rising together, how similar is it..."

"Therefore, you feel that the lord should also follow the example of the sages, and use this strategy to cultivate and recuperate!"

Cao Cao listened, and secretly thought to himself: At this time, he ruled the states and counties as Xun You said, and even all the states and counties were facing enemies, among which Yanyu Qingxu was under the mouth of the old rivals Liu Xiu and Sun's tiger, Youzhou was facing foreign clans, and Jizhou was bordering Sili... It's good that the troops are sufficient, but if there is an error, the situation will be quite grim...

"And among these princes," Xun You continued, "Liu Xiu, the Marquis of Chu, is the most powerful and the most difficult to move, so you think that the lord and the lord of Liu Xiu, when the two families are connected to dominate the world, and then secretly want to weaken Liu Xiu!" ”

Xun You's words went to Cao Cao's heart, Liu Xiu's sudden strength caused Cao Cao's troops to suffer a big loss, and at this time, he couldn't gnaw Liu Xiu's hard bone, so he could only be opportunistic and secretly weakened

"Hahaha Gongda deserves to be Gongda..."When everyone was silent, Guo Jia suddenly laughed. Even the horizontal technique can be described as perfect, and Qin Zhang Yi is afraid that it is nothing more than that..."

"Feng Xiao will make fun of me..."Xun Yu suddenly laughed when he heard this, "Presumably Feng Xiao already has a plan in his heart, come quickly, come quickly..."

"Gongda is not in a hurry..."Guo Jia dragged his tone, "Lord, as Gongda said, it is no longer suitable to go south to fight against Liu Xiu at this time. ”

Guo Jia spoke quickly, but everyone heard clearly, "The lord thinks about his own advantages..."

"One is the common people, whether it is Hebei or the Central Plains, they are all populous places, accounting for more than half of the Han Dynasty..."

"And among them, the lord of Hebei has not been good for a long time, and he has not yet had time to rule. The people and the soldiers and horses have not been integrated, but they have not taken care of the long and the short..."

"Second, since ancient times, these war horses have come from the north, and now the war horses in Xiliang are divided among many forces within its borders. Youzhou and Bingzhou are almost under the control of the lord, so the lord must quickly consolidate the two places and produce more war horses. Expand the cavalry! ”

"After that, the soldiers, horses, grain and grass can gather before they can go south again!"

"Therefore. According to Jia, in the next few years, the lord should focus on the north, lead the troops to the west, stabilize and merge the state, send the troops to the west, occupy the north, and finally unify the south with the north! ”

"This is the best strategy!"

"Besides, now that Liu Bei has won Chang'an, the lord must hurry up, don't let Liu Bei gain a firm foothold in Xiliang..."

Guo Jia and Xun You's analysis of the general trend and trend won the hearts of Cao Cao and everyone.

"Gongda and Fengxiao's words are very much in line with my liking!" Cao Cao personally stated that Liu Xiu's soldiers were strong, although he had only experienced part of it, but he knew that it was powerful.

"Liu Xiu, it has become a big problem for my Cao Cao, but how to secretly weaken his power?!"

"Shoot the man before the horse, capture the thief and capture the king first!" There are still many masters in Yu's hands, which can be used! The first to speak was Cheng Yu, who gestured with his hand to wipe his neck, and said cruelly, since the assassination of the three Yuan brothers took effect, he was deeply fascinated by this.

"No!" The first to oppose was Xun You.

"No!" Then Guo Jia, "There are many masters and fierce generals around Liu Xiu, this method is useless!" ”

"There are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves! I can **** send someone to assassinate, there will be a time for negligence! Cheng Yu still didn't give up.

Guo Jia still shook his head, "Although the snake can't do it without a head, if something happens to Liu Xiu, I'm afraid it will force those civil and military generals under Liu Xiu's command!" ”

"I wonder if I can say a few words below?!"

"Zhongda?!" Cao Cao and everyone looked at him in surprise, Sima Yi, since he had a plan in winter, Cao Cao took it seriously, and often took him with him, asking about the plan, "What does Zhong Da think, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"The assassination of Liu Xiu as Lord Cheng Yu said is indeed difficult to succeed and cannot be successful!" The corners of Sima Yi's mouth curled, and he said: "However, Liu Xiuqiang is in those civil and military generals under his command, the lord can assassinate these people, or he can try!" ”

"And, recently, Zhongda heard that Liu Xiu gathered many clans and princes to Nanyang, which may be more worth a try?!"

[Create civil strife]!

"My lord! No..."Xun Yu said hurriedly.

Cao Cao waved his hand, and couldn't help but look at Sima Yi again, "You can really give it a try!" ”

"At this time, I will leave it to Zhongde, and send more people to Liu Xiuzhi's place, I want to know all the actions under Liu Xiu's rule!"

"Whoa!"

"Does Wen He have something to say?!" Cao Cao suddenly noticed Jia Xu in the corner, and saw that his expression was different, so he asked.

Jia Xu's eyes rolled, and after a while, he said: "But there is a strategy, or it can be used!" ”

"Come on." Cao Cao said earnestly.

"I heard that Liu Xiu opened a maritime Silk Road in the South China Sea, and as far as I know, in the south of Jiaozhou, there is a foreign barbarian country, which is quite strong, and now it is bordering Liu Xiu,"

"In addition, during the period of Emperor Wu, Bashu and Nanzhong also opened a [Southwest Silk Road], starting from Chengdu, which can lead directly to the poisonous country!" Jia Xu smiled and continued to explain, "It is reported that this [Southwest Silk Road] passes through the south of the south -- the Shan Kingdom, the Biao Kingdom and many other barbarian countries, and dozens of ethnic groups such as Yi, Tibet, Hui, Bai, and Dai, and is respected by them as the [Golden Road]."

"Coupled with the hidden danger of the millions of old people in Yongchang County, Nanzhong,"

"Hey, all these things, I believe that as long as the lord is good at applying, he will definitely gain something..."

"Wen He is really well-read and strong-minded, so many things about turning foreign barbarians into foreign people, he remembers them so clearly..."Cao Cao glared and praised, "Among the clever strategies, you still need to be discussed by Wen He and Zhong De and the two of you..."

……

At the same time, Jiangdong Wu County, Sun's house.

Somehow, some rather unbearable rumors actually reached the ears of Mrs. Wu...

In an instant, the entire Sun Mansion was as quiet as a cicada, and a family banquet was quickly held! (To be continued.) )
