"Hold the Son of Heaven and order the princes!"

Hearing what Guo Jia said, this familiar sentence instantly rose in Wang Xu's head. I really don't know if it's God's will, Guo Jia went around and around, why did he still think of this stubble.

Glancing at Guo Jia, who was smiling and had deep meaning in his eyes, Wang Xu gradually fell into deep thought.

If Jingbei is completely taken, then you only need to send troops from Nanyang and go out of Wuguan to reach the area of Sili Center, Chang'an to the west, and Luoyang to the east. After taking Jingzhou by himself, he can be called one of the strongest princes in the world, and the most important thing is that he has no enemies for the time being, and he is in a very stable position, unlike Er Yuan and Cao Cao and others. Therefore, the Central Plains heroes, who are currently devouring each other and surviving in crisis, have no time to take care of their own affairs, nor do they have the ability to manage them.

As long as the little emperor and civil and military officials can be brought to Jingzhou, the benefits are self-evident, at that time, he will become the nominal orthodoxy of the world, and in the process of conquest, it will be easier to recruit the powerful people from all over the country, especially in the north. Moreover, in an instant, there will be a lot of forces that do not have much ambition to attach themselves to get help.

It's a pity, it's not just the benefits, the dangers are also there. The current little emperor is a hot potato, useful, but it will also burn himself. Because when he does this, he will soon provoke a backlash from many ambitious forces in the world, even including Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others. These forces, with which they have a good relationship, are likely to suddenly become hostile forces, and thus lead to the isolation of the whole world.

Jingzhou had an unstable foothold at that time, and it was a place of four wars, and it had just experienced a major war, which might stimulate some people to take the opportunity to join forces, attract their attention, and take advantage of the weakness!

Thinking of these, Wang Xu hesitated again and again, and finally shook his head slowly: "Fengxiao, what you said is very good, but it is not suitable now!" ”

"Why?" Guo Jiaqi said.

"Bong Filial Piety. After pacifying Jingzhou. My foothold is not stable, and at this time, I suddenly went out of the military pass, and there will be three problems that I have to face when I go to Chang'an to receive the emperor. ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu already frowned, stretched out his finger and gestured: "First, Dong Zhuo is currently living and dying, and Wang Situ and Lu Bu are in control of the government. The specific situation is unknown, and those ministers in the DPRK and China thought that the situation was getting better, and they were afraid that they would not move the capital, and even explicitly ordered me to hand over the military power! Once this matter is made public, I will be in a difficult situation. If I don't make friends, in the eyes of the people who don't know much, I will become a rebel similar to Dong Zhuo, because I have already learned from the past, so people are easy to associate with each other. Coupled with the noise of people with hearts, I am afraid that the shape is worrying. ”

"Second, my Jingzhou has not been very eye-catching, that is because it is not yet the focus of the world's contention. A scuffle between the Central Plains heroes. The confrontation in Yangzhou, the stay in Yizhou. There was a vacuum here, and everyone was busy consolidating and expanding themselves, not caring about this place that didn't seem particularly important now. But once I welcome the world south, it will be completely different, and this place will attract the attention of the whole world. They will look at the Yiqiē here again, and even cause them to be highly vigilant, at that time, our foothold is not particularly stable, and our strength is also limited, if a person of insight sees through the head and tail, it is likely to maneuver around it, and then it will be unfavorable to me, and I Jingzhou can't afford such a powerful blow. ”

Guo Jia didn't speak, but there was a hidden smile on his face, and when Wang Xu's voice fell, he suddenly spoke: "Lord, there are definitely risks, but in comparison, there are more advantages." Between the first point, in fact, the idea of the subordinates is a strong blockade, and the most advantageous thing in Jingzhou is that the top and bottom are united and very united. After we sent troops to Chang'an, we had to take strong control of the imperial court and block their public information channels to the outside world. As long as it can't be made public, then a qiē can be done. And all my own internal deployments are in support of the lord, and the lord is kind to explain, then everything can be solved, as long as it is maintained for a year, it can be stabilized. ”

"As for the second point, it is the most risky place, when you first arrive in Jingnan, it will indeed cause the most fierce backlash from the princes of the world, so you must be prepared for war. According to the subordinates, when the time comes, the most likely to attack is Yizhou Liu Yan, Yuan Shu or Cao Cao. And the other princes, though they have complaints in their hearts, cannot attack us yet. Therefore, it is completely possible to make use of the shape of the world, for example, to ask Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Sun Jian and others to be officially appointed as high-ranking officials, and then take the initiative to send envoys to show favor to meet their needs. Especially Yuan Shao and Sun Jian, what they want most is a high-ranking official position officially appointed by the imperial court, because then they can justify their reputation. ”

At this time, if you make friends with friendship and send someone to tell you the truth, they will soon be able to eliminate the mustard. After all, the world is already like this, as long as they eliminate their jealousy of Jingzhou, then they themselves can understand what is the most important thing at the moment if they want to save themselves. When the time comes, with them containing Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, they will be able to get rid of the hidden dangers in the east and only face the land of Yizhou. If Liu Yan sticks to Yizhou, he is still very powerful, if he comes out, it will be better, take the opportunity to defeat his main force, which is extremely beneficial to my rapid pacification of Yizhou! ”

Hearing these words, Wang Xu was not moved at all, because he had also considered this issue, to be precise, it was the experience of thousands of years of capable people. That is the correctness of the timing chosen by Cao Cao when he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. And now the time is obviously not ripe, Guo Jia sees very far, but unfortunately he is in this era after all, and it is impossible to think about the problem from the whole front and back.

"Fengxiao, your words are very feasible and reasonable. But it's not entirety, it's also somewhat idealistic, and I'm not going to refute the two solutions you proposed, and now I'm just going to say the third one that has to be solved. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu looked at Guo Jia's eyes lightly, and said word by word: "Although Dong Zhuo is dead, his huge and powerful army is still there, shall we fight it?" ”

"Huh?" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said: "Lord, Dong Zhuo is alive and dead, the imperial court should pardon his crimes, try its best to appease them, and then take them in!" ”

Sure enough, hearing Guo Jia's words, Wang Xu suddenly understood that he did not fundamentally realize the mistakes that Wang Yun and others were about to make, and immediately asked lightly: "Fengxiao, I know Wang Yun and Wang Situ very well." He will not be appeased, now that he is in control of the government, with his upright and impulsive character, the most likely, that is, to announce the arrest of Dong Zhuo's former die-hard generals of the Xiliang Army. Maybe it's already already happening now. ”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Jia's face changed instantly. "Lord, is this true? This is a matter of life and death for the imperial court, is he so hasty? ”

Faced with Guo Jia's inquiry, Wang Xu could only shrug his shoulders with a wry smile: "He's not you, if you don't believe it, you'll know later." ”

"How can this make it possible to compete with the main forces stationed in various places just by relying on the soldiers and horses of the generals such as those in Chang'an and Lu Bu, and if they are not pardoned for their crimes, they will inevitably lead troops to rebel in the end. Those hundred battle divisions that mixed the Hu people, the Bingzhou people and the Xiliang people, the princes gathered and the battle was still difficult, not to mention a mere empty court? Saying that, Guo Jia shook his head in disbelief, if Wang Xu hadn't said what he said just now, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it at all.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Lord, you should immediately send a message to Wang Situ and persuade him!" ”

Just kidding, persuasion is useful, then it can really be peaceful forever. After Wang Yun took power, he implemented the wrong policy, and there were many people in the court and the central government who persuaded him, and there were even ministers who conspired with him, but what was the result! Yan zhòng was directly killed by him in the name of chaos and chaos, and those who were not strict zhòng also cut off the power in their hands. Therefore, when he has been completely caught up in a matter, he is too upright, not good at receiving advice, and does not have superb analytical skills, saying everything is in vain.

Looking at Guo Jia, who was a little anxious, Wang Xu was not in a hurry to explain, and after knowing that he had slowly calmed down, he sighed slightly and said seriously: "Hey! Bonghyo, if persuasion had worked, then I wouldn't have waited until now. Wang Situ's character is like this, now that he is in power, he is invincible, and he can't listen to anyone's advice at all. With my relationship with him, although he will not do anything to me in words, he will definitely not listen to half a sentence, he has already been stubborn in his false success! ”

Guo Jia is a genius with extraordinary intelligence, and at this point, he understands everything, and shook his head dejectedly: "If this is the case, it will be difficult to succeed in welcoming the Son of Heaven to the south." It's a pity. ”

"Hehe, don't be so discouraged, there's a chance."

"Huh? What do you mean by this? Guo Jia said curiously.

Wang Xu thought about it, modified the memory in his mind slightly, and slowly spoke: "In my opinion, among Dong Zhuo's troops stationed in the Quartet, the most prestigious people are Li Dao, Guo Yan and others. Wang Yun forced each other, it would definitely provoke their resistance, and it was only a matter of time before Chang'an was taken. But these two are pure martial artists at all, and they can fight, but they don't have any concept of political affairs at all, let alone have a far-sighted vision. And all of them are from outside the country, and their temperaments are extremely wild, and there are no people who suppress them, so they can still have a tacit understanding when they join forces in a crisis, but once they settle down, they will definitely fight inwardly because of the uneven distribution of spoils. ”

"Therefore, now is not the time to welcome the emperor, we send troops, but instead provoke their cooperation and fight to the death. It's better to wait for their own infighting, change their shape, and then seize the opportunity to do it overnight! Moreover, it is also good to make the ministers of the DPRK and China suffer a little, and it will not be so disgusting in the future. ”

When the words fell, Guo Jia had fully understood, looked at Wang Xu's calm and indifferent face, and couldn't help laughing: "The lord's foresight and calmness really make his subordinates admire!" ”

"Hehe, don't say that, in fact, I also got wisdom from others." Mo Ling said a word, Wang Xu smiled and continued: "I am not as good as you in marching and fighting, and I am not as good as you in strategy and planning, but I know how to let you play your talents!" ”

"Hahahaha!" When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately laughed heartily: "The lord said this, the truth is the essence of the truth. Guo Jia can meet a master like the lord, it is really a blessing in this life! (To be continued.) )
