As the two old friends, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, refused to give in to each other, and the words were fiercely contested, Wang Xu also heard the respective advantages and disadvantages of Yangzhou and Yizhou clearly. At a glance, Guo Jia looked calm, smiled without saying a word, and couldn't help but interrupt the argument between the two with a smile. "Yuan Hao, Gong and! Listen to me. ”

Hearing Wang Xu's words, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu immediately quieted down, turned around and arched their hands at Wang Xu, looked at each other and smiled, and said no more. The two of them have upright personalities, and they are not intolerant of others. So don't talk about things, but still be friends.

Seeing this, Wang Xu also nodded approvingly, and then slowly continued: "Yuan Hao and Gonghe's analysis is actually correct, and it is very accurate. Yangzhou has the advantages of Yangzhou, and the characteristics of Yizhou are beneficial to the state, and strategically speaking, there are different views from different angles. So, for us, there's no obvious good or bad. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu paused abruptly, turned to look at Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, I see that you have been smiling and silent, as if you have a plan." I don't know if you can share your opinion for everyone's consideration! ”

"The Lord is serious." was suddenly asked by Wang Xu, Guo Jiadang bowed modestly.

But he didn't shirk it, and after a little contemplation, he smiled calmly: "The subordinates have the same views as the lord, whether it is Yangzhou or Yizhou, they have their advantages and weaknesses, so don't worry too much." And if we can choose any of them now, it represents our own strength, which is the result of your long-term hard work. Why put aside this advantage and insist that you have to choose a side? Therefore, strategically, it does not matter whether it is Yangzhou or Yizhou. The key point of the current general trend is actually time. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu's heart suddenly burst out, and he was already very surprised. Guo Jia really deserves to be Guo Jia, in a word, he understands the shape of it because he understands history, but Guo Jia predicts it all by his foresight. This is no ordinary skill!

But Guo Jia didn't stop. glanced at everyone with a smile, and then slowly continued: "Today, although the heroes are together, except for a few, almost all of them have not established a foundation. In the future, it will inevitably lead to a scuffle, in which the superior will survive and the inferior will be eliminated, and there will be a long period of time. And because of the foresight of the lord. We have been ahead of the heroes, occupying the land of the four counties of Jingnan, and the soldiers are full of food. Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of this advantage and become strong as quickly as possible in a limited time. So, I personally think. Now we should not consider whether Yangzhou is better or Yizhou, but think about which side can take it faster and maintain its advantage forever. ”

As he spoke, Guo Jia's speed of speech gradually became urgent, and he continued all the time: "If we can make good friends with the northern heroes and provoke them to fight endlessly, and we will take the opportunity to occupy Yizhou strongly." Jingzhou. Yangzhou, the land of the four southern states of Jiaozhou. With a million, why not look at the Central Plains? As long as we grasp the opportunity and control the situation, when the time comes, Yizhou and Yangzhou will defend against the danger, and millions of heroes will leave Jingzhou, who will be able to stop the Central Plains? The world is decided! ”

After saying this impassionedly, Guo Jia took a deep breath, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and then smiled again: "This is a foolish opinion, the actual situation may be very different from this, and the northern heroes will probably not let me sit down, so it depends on the situation." But in any case, the main consideration should be how to gain a foothold as quickly as possible, and the rest can be put aside for the time being. ”

"My lord, my subordinates agree with the military advisor." As Guo Jia finished saying this, while everyone was still pondering, Chen Deng and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled. It seems that the two have a good personal relationship, and they should have communicated about it in private.

After a while, Tian Feng also slowly raised his head, nodded and said, "Fengxiao's words are good, but I am inferior in my opinion." Although the northern heroes will not allow us to occupy the four southern states, if they maneuver in them, it is not without opportunities. In particular, the theory of time is very incisive, if it is implemented according to this policy, it should be taken Yangzhou first. Relatively speaking, Yizhou Liu Yan has been in business for a long time, and the Bashu dangerous river is not easy to overcome, or Yangzhou is easier to take. ”

After listening to it for so long, Wang Xu already had a plan in his heart, and immediately interjected with a smile: "This statement is very much in line with my wishes, and I will take Yangzhou as the first strategic goal in the future." So before conquering Liu Biao, I will first take the neighboring Yuzhang County as a bridgehead for the future conquest of Jiangdong, what do you think? ”

"No!" As soon as the words fell, Dong He was already eagerly speaking: "My lord, although Yangzhou is the foundation, my subordinates also agree. But Jingbei is not peaceful, if the army moves and rushes to send troops, I am afraid that Liu Biao will take advantage of the weakness and attack my rear! ”

Chen Deng looked at Wang Xu, and immediately answered: "Lord, what Dong Youzai said is true. Yuzhang County is a large county, the area is extremely extensive, there were 21 counties when Emperor Shun, and now it is nearly 30 counties. If it is taken, not only will the division be nameless, but the battle line will inevitably expand, and in due course, not only will Liu Biao attack our rear, but Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, will also call on all departments in Yangzhou to lead troops to rescue. Our army will inevitably fall into the dilemma of being attacked on both sides, and I hope that the lord will think twice! ”

Wang Xu really didn't think about the question of Chen Wen in Yangzhou, but when he heard Chen Deng mention it at this moment, he was stunned. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "But if we don't take Yuzhang, won't we only have to fight with Liu Vote?" Liu Biao and I are equal in strength, if the stalemate continues, I am afraid that the world will change. Besides, Yangzhou now has Sun Jian in Wu County, and I am very worried that he will take advantage of the situation to attack the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and then send troops to Chaisang, and set up dangerous passes in the mountainous areas of Ai County, Gan County, Yichun and other counties, and only need more than 1,000 people to intercept the only mountain paths. In the face of mountains, how can we make a difference? ”

Facing Wang Xu's inquiring gaze, everyone in the hall lowered their heads and fell into silence, obviously feeling very troubled by this question.

After a long time, Guo Jia hesitated and said: "Lord, if you just want to open the Yangzhou path, your subordinates have a way." ”

"Oh?" Wang Xu suddenly looked back at Guo Jia, and said in a hurry: "Fengxiao, come quickly." ”

At this time, the eyes of everyone in the hall also turned to Guo Jia's body. Guo Jia pondered carefully again for a moment before slowly raising his head and saying with a smile: "If the lord wants to open the door of Yangzhou, it shouldn't be difficult. I don't know who the current Yuzhang Taishou is? ”

"Wang Mastiff, the word Haiwei, a native of Chaisang in Yuzhang County." As soon as Guo Jia asked, Tian Feng immediately took over. "When Xu Zhao rebelled in Juzhang, this Wang Mastiff was his military advisor. Later, the imperial court ordered Zang Min to assassinate the history of Yangzhou, led the army to quell the chaos, because he saw that he had courage and strategy, he recruited his people and taught him to be good. Later, Zang Min moved to the post of general of the Huns, and he also became a military commander. At the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He was also in the military. It's just that at that time, he was no longer under Zang Min, but became a newly formed infantry captain and was assigned to Zhu Jun's account. participated in the burning of the Changshe, and later fought in Anhui City, and was played by Zhu Jun and Zang Min and others as Yuzhang Taishou. ”

After speaking, Tian Feng smiled slightly, and couldn't help but turn his head and say, "Lord." This mastiff should have fought side by side with you back then. ”

"Oh? I can't imagine that it's still an old man. Hearing Tian Feng's words, Wang Xu couldn't help laughing.

On the contrary, Xu Huang, who was sitting among the generals on the left, suddenly frowned, and before Wang Xu could answer, he already said loudly: "Lord, this person will know each other in the end!" ”

"Huh?" In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Xu Huang.

Xu Huang didn't twist it. Facing everyone's eyes, he said calmly: "I don't know if the lord still remembers that at the end of that year, he was a personal guard by General Zhu Jun's side, and it was the lord who was more important than me, so he was transferred to his command." ”

"Of course I remember it!" Wang Xu smiled and nodded, and then couldn't help but continue: "Could it be that you met him at that time?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Huang nodded affirmatively. At that time, the last general followed General Zhu every day, and he could often see Wang Mastiff. This man is not only brave in battle, but also calm and wise. Deeply aware of the art of war. It is very important to General Zhu, and he once praised it in public for having the style of Zang Gong. And the lord has also seen this person. When the lord was seriously injured in the first battle of the Changshe Society, all the generals came to visit. He also came with General Zhu, and the one with the national character face, high nose bridge, and eyebrows flying obliquely into the sideburns was the Wang Mastiff. I wonder if the lord still remembers? ”

With Xu Huang's words, Wang Xu also slowly fell into memories. When Changshe was seriously injured in the first battle, many generals in the army came to visit, and after such a long time, I really couldn't remember it for a while.

Just here, Xu Shu on the side suddenly said softly: "It's just that you said back then that his face was out of phase, and his achievements might be extraordinary, have you forgotten?" I was still feeding you medicine! ”

"Oh! It's him! Being reminded by Xu Shu like this, Wang Xu suddenly remembered. At the beginning, Zhu Jun brought a group of generals to visit him several times, and two of them brought this mastiff. When chatting, Zhu Jun once pointed to Wang Mastiff to praise his talent, he had never heard of this name, so he was not interested, seeing that his eyebrows were thick and long, he casually coped, saying that he was born with a different appearance and made extraordinary achievements. I didn't expect to see you again.

Thinking of these, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh a little and said: "It's really unthinkable, the old people in the past, but today they are in an embarrassing hostility, and the world is impermanent!" He immediately shook his head, then turned back to the topic, and waved his hand: "Fengxiao, let's talk about your thoughts!" ”

When Guo Jia heard what he said just now, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he smiled meaningfully. Cai replied unhurriedly: "Lord, this Wang Mastiff has hunted and killed anti-Dong Yishi and hindered the matter of seeking Dong. The intention of the subordinates is to attack Yuzhang on this basis, but it is not the whole territory of Yuzhang, the east only hits its county capital Nanchang, and the south only goes to Yichun, Wuping, and Xingan. In this way, how dare Chen Wen raise troops to ask for guilt? However, the most important thing is to avoid the expansion of the front. At that time, you only need to guard Chaisang and Nanchang, and you will have no worries. When Jingbei is taken and recuperating, it can be used as an outpost to send troops to Yangzhou. ”

"That's a great idea!" As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, Tian Feng immediately blurted out praise. Immediately, Fu Zhu and other Wenchen also nodded with a smile, obviously agreeing with this idea.

Wang Xu thought about it for a while, but he was still quite satisfied. In any case, as long as the door of Yangzhou is opened, it will be much easier to do in the future. Immediately no longer hesitated, and waved his hand suddenly: "Since this is the case, then you should prepare in your own way, and the chief bookkeeper Wang Kai is responsible for compiling and writing the documents, and it must be transmitted to all places." The time for the expedition is set after January, and I hope that the crowd will be ready. ”

"No!"

After everyone responded in unison, Fu Zhu suddenly added: "My lord, after the promulgation of the payment, Wang Mastiff will definitely send troops to garrison the dangerous mountain passes between Aixian and Yichun, block the path, and the army will definitely not be able to pass. At the right time, it is inevitable to take the southern part of Jiangxia and pass through Xiapheasant County, and I don't know if Liu Biao will agree? ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Xu did not hesitate, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he already said in a deep voice: "Inform him first, whether he agrees or not, I have borrowed this way." If he dares to stop me, he will force me to do it, what else is there to say. He Jiangxia County is south of the Yangtze River, there are only three counties of Shaxian, Hubei and Xiapheasant, and he thinks it is in the way, and it should be good to return to my Changsha. I'll see if he has the courage to cross the river and fight me. ”

After speaking, Wang Xu didn't say a word, stood up suddenly, and strode out of the conference hall accompanied by Xu Shu. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please log in to the http://www.biquge.info.)
