Guo Jia didn't agree with Fazheng's refutation at all, shook his head and said, "How can you call leading foreigners to kill?" Taking retreat as advance and luring the enemy deep into the army is a common thing for soldiers, and the soldiers are in danger of fighting, and some losses of the army and the people are also unavoidable. ”

"To exterminate the main force of the rebel army in Nanzhong in one fell swoop and capture and kill the leader is to really think about the people, and it is also a wise move for our army. As for its growth, what is there to fear? Leaving the land of the south, even if he has thousands of troops, he can easily break through. ”

"Some losses?" Fa Zheng was red-eared, and his emotions were extremely excited: "Do you know that if the barbarian army breaks through our army's city, it will inevitably burn and loot, do you know how many people have been persecuted?" In the matter of the battle array, how can there be a reason to win, if the Nanban fights to gain a foothold and enters my hinterland, wouldn't it be conniving at the great trouble of the henchmen? ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly got up and saluted Xu Shu. "The master mother, according to the will of her subordinates, should give up the extermination of Nanzhong for the time being, hold the danger, prevent its attack, and wait for the reorganization of Jingyi Land, carefully understand the situation in Nanzhong, and then send a large army to conquer, supplemented by divisive, pacifying, wooing and other offensive strategies, from its internal disintegration, so that internal and external actions, can be easily pacified, and the loss is small."

As soon as the words fell, Guo Jia also admonished: "Master, although what you say about filial piety is the best policy, in this way, the land of Jingyi will be in the south for a long time, which is not conducive to the lord's northern expedition and the plan of the army to enter the Central Plains." However, according to the plan of his subordinates, although the casualties were large and the losses were large, he could quickly solve the predicament once and for all, so as to accumulate strength in a short period of time and seize the general trend of the world. ”

"Master, don't listen to this!" Fa Zheng spoke again and strongly recommended: "Although the strategy of the military division is to start from the overall situation. But it's dangerous. Who can guarantee success? Once it fails, the consequences are unimaginable. How can we calm the world be anxious for quick success, and we should fight steadily and steadily, and slowly figure it out. ”

"Filial piety! How can there be no danger in the world? Guo Jia was also a little sullen at the moment, and bluntly retorted: "Don't ask for a woman's kindness!" ”

"What do you mean? How is this the kindness of a woman, the people are the foundation of the world, and they abandon the people. If you use the lives of the military and civilians as pawns, how can you come to the world? ”

The argument between the two is from two perspectives, they both know each other's thoughts and understand each other's ideas, but no one can convince anyone, this is a multiple-choice question, but they choose different options.

As the two argued, the civil ministers and generals in the hall also discussed and exchanged ears. In a short time, some people have already stood up to express their opinions. There are those who support Fa Zheng and those who support Guo Jia, but there are many people who obviously support Fa Zheng.

Soon, the crowd gradually divided into two factions, and they fought for each other in the council chamber.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Xu Shu thought for a long time, and finally waved her hand.

It's a pity that everyone was noisy and couldn't hear her.

"Bang!" Xu Shu's right hand slapped heavily on the table in front of him, and angrily reprimanded: "The great enemy is still in front of you, why are you in chaos!" ”

This time finally restrained everyone, and the hall instantly fell silent. "The Mistress is angry!"

"Huh!" Xu Shu's reproachful gaze swept over the hall, and his tone softened: "All the princes are important ministers, when they are united and cooperative, how can they compete with each other like this, if there are opinions, they should communicate well, such a mess, wouldn't it make the enemy happy?" ”

said, without waiting for them to answer again, he spoke again: "The concubine body has also thought about this matter carefully, and she is more inclined to the strategy of filial piety. ”

Guo Jia and the others' faces changed, and they wanted to say something, but they opened their mouths but didn't say it, and Fa Zheng didn't look proud, just breathed a sigh of relief.

"But!" Unexpectedly, Xu Shu's voice changed. "In today's situation, we can't do what Fa Xiaozhi said."

"The ...... of the Mother of the House"

Fa Zheng was anxious to speak, but Xu Shu waved his hand to interrupt: "The concubine knows what Mr. means, but please also ask Mr. to listen to me, as far as the concubine is concerned, she is very inclined to Mr.'s policy, and she also recognizes Mr.'s people-oriented mind, but this time it is not based on this calculation, but there is another reason." ”

"Another reason?"

Not only the civil and military generals who supported Fa Zheng, but even Guo Jia and others were also stunned.

"Not bad!" Xu Shu smiled slightly. "The princes don't know, Jingzhou is not only facing the rebels in the south at the moment, but also the Qiang clan turmoil, five days ago, the concubine ordered General Huang Zhong to command 40,000 troops, with Xu Yuanzhi as a strategist, and went to the Guanghan vassal country in the north of Yizhou, thinking that it is not very far from Yinping County now, but the situation there is not clear, if the shape is severe, I am afraid it will be another big war."

In addition, Xiliang Han Sui also stationed troops in Wudu County, threatening Hanzhong at all times, and General Wei Yan, the Taishou of Hanzhong, had personally gone to Yangping Pass to defend it. However, the threat along the way is not very big, as long as the precautions are appropriate, Han Sui should not really fight with me, according to the concubine's body, it is just a gesture, maybe it is for Cao Cao to see, of course, if we fail to take precautions, I am afraid it will not be soft. ”

As Xu Shu said this information with a smile, there was a sudden gasp in the hall, and they knew very well what a predicament this was.

Of course, Xu Shu also understood, but she had to be calm, so her eyes swept over everyone, and she quickly smiled and said: "Therefore, we must do our best to pacify Nanzhong, and only when the rear is stable can we deal with the greater crisis." ”

At this time, Fa Zheng stopped talking, he was not a pedantic person, of course, he could distinguish the importance of the matter, and soon frowned and asked: "Mastermother, do you know why the Qiang clan and Han Sui suddenly fought for us?" ”

This is also what everyone here wants to understand, no one said a word, and they all looked at Xu Shu quietly.

"Because ......" Xu Shu paused, and the light flashed in her beautiful phoenix eyes: "The concubine husband has formed a comprehensive alliance with Yuan Shao, according to the husband's letter, the Cao and Yuan families will soon start a battle for the north, and we will also send troops to help Yuan Shao, this battle is related to the general trend of the world, and you must know the meaning of it, so you will not say more." ”

"But now, we have not yet sent troops, but there are many external troubles, as expected, it is the bureau set up by Cao Cao, which obviously intends that we will be tired of coping, so that we will not be able to interfere in the situation of the world, and wait for it to take Hebei, and then turn back to attack this Jingyi land."

"In this way, I guess the princes also know why the concubine will agree to Guo Junshi's plan."

At this time, no one stood up against it, and they all fell into quick thinking.

Xu Shu was not in a hurry. Beautiful eyes look around. After everyone can think for a moment. Only then did he lightly open his lips again. "Our top priority, one is to pacify the south and the central part of the country, the second is to make strategic arrangements in the north, and the third is to send an envoy to see Han Sui, no matter what benefits Cao Cao promises, we must try to deal with him, and it is best to persuade him to withdraw his troops. Fourth, it is to pay close attention to the movements of the Qiang clan. Inquire about its intentions and try to appease it. ”

This happened so suddenly, the military generals in the hall all fell into thought, and no one replied.

Xu Shu turned to look at Guo Jia. "Military advisor, the affairs of Nanzhong will be handed over to you, if you are concerned about the safety of the people, you can clear the wilderness, evacuate all the people in advance, and appease them in the future, but no matter what. To pacify as much as possible, it takes at least a few victories to shake the prestige of our army. ”

"In addition. In addition to telling you about these things, it is also hoped that the military division and the internal affairs will be re-coordinated, and all the logistics and material transportation of the Nanzhong War will no longer go through the military logistics from now on, and you will mobilize the sergeants yourself and organize the personnel to be temporarily responsible. ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Guo Jia said solemnly.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's all disperse, go back, if you think of a good plan to deal with the current situation, you can come to me at any time."

The people dispersed with great sorrow.

When Xu Shu left the council hall and returned to the backyard, the fatigue on her face was already fully visible, the heavy military affairs, the internal and external troubles that Wang Xu faced after leaving with a serious illness, all kinds of pressures had already made her miserable.

"Sister! Take a break, beware of hurting yourself! ”

Diao Chan and Cai Yan looked at her appearance and were worried.

"Hey!" Xu Shu sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Now that my husband is not here, Jing Yi is turbulent, there are strong enemies on the side, and there are many contradictions among the ministers inside, if my sister I am not diligent in governing the government, thinking hard about countermeasures, and clever scheming, how can I deal with strong enemies and deter the ministers." ”

"There are so many good generals, why are they so useless, no one can share my sister's worries!" Zhao Yu's face was full of anger.

"Yu'er, don't say that, the biggest problem in Jingzhou at the moment is not outside, but inside, it is precisely because they are all talented that they are difficult to control, there are many contradictions, the more talented people get together, the more difficult it is to control, if the husband does not come back intact for a day, this mess will not be easy to clean up."

When saying this, Xu Shu suddenly remembered Zhuge Liang in history for some reason.

After experiencing it herself, she now admires it from the bottom of her heart, maybe her strategy is not as good as Guo Jia, and her strategy is not as good as Cao Cao, but her comprehensive ability is really outstanding, Liu Bei died, as a courtier, but he was able to support Shu Han and resist Cao and Sun with his own strength, it is really not easy, and it is no wonder that he came out of the mountain at the age of 27 and died of exhaustion at 54.

Xu Shu quickly shook her head, threw these thoughts out of her mind, and cheered up again: "I won't tell you, my sister will go to the study, and there are still some things to review." ，”

"Sister, it's time to eat soon, let's review it after the meal!" Cai Yan said distressedly.

"No, you can just bring me some." As she spoke, Xu Shu walked into the study without knowing her head.

At this moment, Guo Jia and Fu Zhu, who left the council hall, also walked together.

The frowning brows of frustration did not relax, and he shook his head and sighed: "Fengxiao, you shouldn't put forward a plan in public today, it's not easy for the main mother to support Jingzhou!" ”

"I know, but the matter is urgent, there must be a decision, sooner or later it will be opposed, rather than suspicion in private, it is better to argue openly and spread out a qiē, otherwise the situation will be more difficult to clean up." Guo Jia said helplessly.

Fu Zhu did not argue, and showed a smile: "Fortunately, the lord has such a good wife, which is really a blessing for our courtiers!" ”

"Yes, if the world is calm, the mistress will definitely leave a good name through the ages." Guo Jia agreed, but quickly shook his head again, sighed and said, "Actually, it would be nice if the lord had a Xun Yu." ”

"Xun Yu?" Frustrated and confused.

"Hmm!" Guo Jia nodded, and then said with a smile: "You and I have our own strengths, if in peacetime, we can all be prime ministers, but in this troubled era where heroes are born, we are not the first choice, if the lord has Xun Yu in charge, he can really avoid worries." ”

How smart he was, pondered for a while, understood what he was referring to, and said calmly: "It's a pity that there are a few Xun Yu in the world, and there are no courtiers in Jingzhou who can really intimidate the ministers and coordinate the overall situation." ”

The two talked all the way and slowly walked away......
