Victory is indeed able to cover up many things, and Wei Tao was also deceived by it before, and even after hearing Zhou Yu's persuasion, he immediately started to attack Xiliang.

It was only in the end that I understood that Zhou Yu persuaded Wei Tao to seek Xiliang, precisely because Wei Tao was no longer able to fight.

If you think about it carefully, why isn't Cao Cao like this?

Capturing Qingzhou, fighting Yuan Shao, descending Lu Bu, and beheading Yuan Shu have always been big victories and big victories, but under the victory, the loss of their own troops, money and food is probably not a small number, and with Cao Cao's original savings, this time is also exhausted.

If Cao Cao stopped the war at this time and recuperated, then he could still slowly figure it out, if he continued to fight, unless the first battle was successful, as long as there was a slight delay, then Cao Cao would probably inevitably suffer a defeat.

But will Cao Cao be recuperating?

"Cao Cao's ministers are more strategic, although there is no Guo Jia, but there are also Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, these two people have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and they are in charge of many affairs in the Cao army, it is impossible not to know about this."

Maybe the commanders of the first army like Wei Tao and Cao Cao will subconsciously ignore such hidden dangers in victory, but the person who personally handles this kind of affairs will not ignore the past.

"If Cao Cao insists on going his own way, what about Cheng Yu and Xun Yu? It should be undissuadable. If in the past, I am afraid that Cao Cao would not be so urgent, but when he saw that he used this to block our army from moving south, it can be seen that he was afraid of his brother and wanted to surrender to his brother with the power of the south, if so, how could he not be in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, you will have a difference. ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, as if he had seen the defeat of Cao Jun.

And if this defeat, Cao Cao's strength will be greatly reduced. I am afraid that it will not be possible to unify the South within 10 years. When the time comes, my brother will be so scrupulous? I don't know what the variables have been in the past 10 years. And I'm afraid that the strength of the Han will be more seriously damaged in the ten-year civil war, what will my brother do when the time comes? Just for the sake of the moment, but it hinders the ambition in the heart? ”

Wei Tao was speechless.

Wei Tao is not a rigid person, and the position of emperor is the highest achievement that one person can get, how can Wei Tao not dream of it?

It's just that he is a human being in two lifetimes, Wei Tao knows that there is no dynasty for eternity, and he has the insight of later generations, so he naturally takes stopping Wuhu Chaohua as his goal. There is no intention of getting involved in the civil war in the Central Plains and chasing the world.

But hearing Zhou Yu say this, is it necessary to hinder his ambition in turn because of this?

Although the tribes on the grassland have suffered heavy casualties after several blows by themselves, ten years is enough time for them to recover, and when the grassland goes south, I am afraid it will not be the same as before.

If there is no support from the whole Han at that time, what will be the result?

Thinking that it was possible to be defeated because of this, Wei Tao's heart suddenly shook.

What Gong Jin said is also very true. However, now Cao Mengde is exterminating Yuan Shu, and it can be said that the winner is not divided. I don't know what Gongjin thinks? And now although the armies of Malaysia and South Korea are divided, it is still not easy to go to Liangzhou. I don't know how Gong Jin should plan? ”

Wei Tao said this not only to know about Liangzhou, but also to know what he would do if Cao Cao was really defeated.

With Zhou Yu's wisdom, he naturally understood this principle, and immediately smiled.

"Jiangdong has the risk of the Yangtze River, and the location is advantageous. Although Sun Quan's foundation is unstable now, Sun Jian and Sun Ce's old ministers are all with their support, and Sun Quan can fight Cao Cao. If there is a war, Cao Cao will lead all the army, and he will need to build ships and train sailors. In this way, there will be time for Xun Yu to raise money and food to support Cao Cao's battle, which is why I said that Cao Cao would insist on going his own way. Sun Quan was only a newborn calf, and Cao Cao was afraid that he would approve of taking Jiangdong within a few months, and if this could be done, he would have a seventy percent chance of dominating the world. ”

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry, and said with a slight smile.

"If this is the original plan of the elder brother, but if he wants to defeat Jiangdong in a hurry, he will inevitably think too low of Jiangdong Junjie. However, there is no evidence for what he said at this time, and the elder brother can wait and see. Since then, our army should have more than a year, just on the one hand to recuperate, on the other hand to seek Xiliang and Si Li, if the two places are completely occupied, the elder brother can be regarded as a unified north, and then it is time to go south to Jingxiang. ”

"Oh?"

Wei Tao was noncommittal when he heard Zhou Yu's words, and just responded casually, but Zhou Yu didn't care at all, and continued to smile.

"That Jingxiang Liu Biao, although the name is Bajun, but it is actually a dog guarding the household, plus he is getting older, it is not difficult to defeat him with his brother's ability, take Jingxiang, and then he can enter Jiangdong. If Cao Mengde fights with Jiangdong, even if he loses, he can also severely damage the Jiangdong Naval Division, and when the time comes, our army will attack again, and with the naval army trained by his brother on the Bohai Sea, Jiangdong can be defeated in one fell swoop. ”

Speaking of this, even Wei Tao felt that this was the case, as if the world could indeed be taken away like this, although he was still silent, his eyes had already shown a sense of intent.

"If you can go down to Jiangdong, you can surround all Cao Cao's belongings, and then my brother will surrender to Yizhou with orders. You can use the momentum of the world to bring down Cao Cao. Since the elder brother had a relationship with Cao Mengde, he naturally knew that Cao Mengde also had the intention of supporting the Han and expelling foreign enemies. When the momentum of the world is clear, when there will be no more fight with the elder brother, the elder brother can be persuaded to surrender at that time, so that his ambition can be realized, and he will no longer have to spend the strength of my Han to do internal fighting, isn't it good? ”

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, there was silence in the hall

"Hehe......"

After a long time, Wei Tao finally couldn't help but let out a laugh and said.

"I didn't expect Gong Jin to have such eloquence, I have to say, I was indeed persuaded by Gong Jin, if the battle in the world is really like this, then why do I regret this name? Since I should chase the Central Plains, in order to win the world, and realize my heart's desire to protect the people! ”

Wei Tao finally made such a statement, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile and then gave up.

"Yu must be an assistant brother!"

"Okay, this kind of thing is still very far away, Gong Jin still said first, although Han Sui has the intention to annex Ma Teng's department, but also knows that our army is on the side, I am afraid that he will not easily use the sword. And so it is with Namateng. Although the two are fighting, the battle is not obvious, what can our army do? It is impossible to really give up the division, and once you quit at that time, then it will be really difficult to take it again. ”

Wei Tao shook his head, and finally put the long-term plan aside, and said this first.

Although Si Li is already ten rooms and nine empty, he is not taken by Wei Tao, but now that the plan has gradually changed, Wei Tao will naturally not give up Si Li easily.

"What the lord said is very true. Han Sui is cunning and cunning, although he is greedy, but it will only gradually encroach, and even once that Ma Teng moves, it will be retreated and appeased, so I am afraid that it will not be clear for three or five years, so our army should still be agitated. ”

When it comes to business, Zhou Yu's expression is straight, that is, he even changed his name to Wei Tao.

In the past, it was to better persuade Wei Tao, and it was to move with brotherly affection, but now it is a serious matter, and Zhou Yu is naturally called a serious matter.

"That Ma Teng has a son Ma Chao. The lord also knows his martial bravery, but as far as I know, the horse is extremely arrogant and impatient. In the early years of the war between Na Ma Teng and Han Sui, he was almost killed by Yan Xing. Although I don't see the two of them dirty, it can also be seen that Ma Chao must have resentment in his heart, if the lord can move with this, what if Ma Chao and Yan Xing have a conflict? One is Ma Teng's beloved son, and the other is Han Sui's beloved general, and the two must have a greater disagreement. As for our army, we don't want to worry, we just need to spread the rumors, saying that the Huns and Wuhuan want to go south! ”

Zhou Yu's plan is very simple, but Wei Tao knows that as long as Han Sui does have the intention of annexing Ma Teng, then it will definitely be a plan.

Once Ma Teng and Han Sui split, then there is nothing to fear from the Xiliang army, and when the time comes, the Qiang people can be overwhelmed, and the Qiang people can really be integrated into the Han nation, which is much better than the current Xiliang oppression with martial arts.

"What Gong Jin said is very reasonable, since this is the case, all the affairs here are entrusted to Gong Jin."

"Huh...... Such a trivial matter, please rest assured. ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile, and then naturally ordered some arrangement.

In Chang'an City, after being calm for three months, there were waves again.

Han Sui secretly encroached on Ma Teng's forces, and he didn't know how Ma Teng would be, but if he said that he killed the enemy, Han Sui was naturally inferior to Ma Teng, but if he said that he was secretly plotting, Ma Teng was really inferior to Han Sui.

looked for Han Sui several times in a row, but Han Sui shirked everything, and then faintly hinted that Wei Tao was still there, if the two families were in a gap, then they would be profited by the fishermen.

Na Ma Teng is also a prince of one side, so he naturally knows the truth of this, so although he was angry, he still forcibly endured it, and even ordered his subordinates not to conflict with Han Sui's department.

Ma Teng's orders may be useful to others, but they are useless to Ma Chao, but Ma Teng also knows this, so he sent his son Ma Dai to his side.

Although Ma Dai is a younger brother of Ma Chao, he does not have the courage of Ma Chao, but compared to Ma Chao, Ma Dai is extremely calm and cautious, and he will not be provoked easily.

It's a pity that if no one does it, then it's fine, but if someone does it, it's different.

On this day, Ma Chao received an invitation from Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is not only a minister under Wei Tao, but his own name can also be said to be famous all over the world, even if Ma Chao is a martial artist, he also has some admiration for him, so he was naturally invited.

It's just that when Ma Chao arrived, he found that Yan Xing was also there, and his face suddenly became a little unsightly.

Not only Ma Chao, but also Yan Xing, who was originally cordial, but at this time, his face also sank.

Don't look at the relationship between Ma Teng and Han Sui before, but Ma Chao and Yan Xing have never dealt with each other, and now they are sitting together, if it weren't for Zhou Yu's invitation, I'm afraid both of them would have to leave.

But Rao was like this, and the two pairs of eyes looked at Zhou Yu in unison and asked.

"I don't know what Zhou Junshi means by this?" (To be continued......)
