Wei Tao did not stay in Jiaozhou for long, and soon returned to Xiangyang, Jingzhou, after all, the situation here is what Wei Tao is most concerned about.

"Liu Bei is in the public security, Cao Cao is in Fancheng, and Sun Quan is guarding Jiangxia, which is besieged with me on three sides. Gongjin, there are only you and me here, there is no one else, I should ask you, what should I do? ”

With the latest news, Wei Tao just sighed, at least in Jingzhou's territory, it was like the turtle catching a turtle in an urn, surrounded by three sides, it was impossible to escape.

Fortunately, neither Cao Cao, Liu Bei, nor Sun Quan have yet to take the lead in attacking.

The meaning of this is very clear, firstly, they are not sure that they can win against Wei Tao, and secondly, they are worried that others will take advantage of it.

"Gong Jin, what if I attack first? If so, where should we attack? ”

didn't wait for Zhou Yu to answer, and soon Wei Tao said again, and in a slight sigh, Wei Tao's attitude was already indicated.

Wei Tao does have such a meaning.

"Oh? The original intention of the lord was not to recuperate and strengthen our army, how did he have the intention of attacking again? ”

Zhou Yu didn't answer immediately, but asked with a slight smile.

"Our army has indeed recovered a lot of strength in these days, but in comparison with the comparison, it is still far less than in the past. If we stay a little later, maybe our army will be stronger. ”

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly.

"Why does Gong Jin lie like this, Gong Jin doesn't know what the strength of our army is. Although it is not enough to face the encirclement of three parties, it is only against one army. That's more than enough. ”

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, and then his expression was certain, and he said seriously.

"Why is that? If I were to chase the world. Occupy the land of the Central Plains and achieve the great cause of my family, then I can stick to it, even if I don't use anything else, only ten years, then with the strength in my hands is enough to sweep, and it will not be me who can't wait. It's Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan! If they come to attack and defend the city with our army, how many cities will they be able to take? It's just a waste of troops! ”

Wei Tao now occupies the most extensive area. The population is the largest, and the potential for development is also the greatest, and if it develops in this way, then the possibility of seizing the world is also the greatest.

The time is not as good as the place. The geographical advantage is not as good as the people. But why did history end up with the Sima family, which got the power of Wei, to dominate the world and establish the Jin Dynasty?

Without him, the Wei State occupies a vast area, has a vast territory, and has a large population, which can withstand consumption.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, he naturally understood what Wei Tao meant, and even Zhou Yu had thought of this a long time ago, but Zhou Yu had never proposed that it should be slowly worn out.

He knew that Wei Tao would not agree.

"Can't you wait?"

Zhou Yu muttered as if talking to himself. But soon he smiled at Wei Tao.

"I can't wait. The lord's situation now seems to be surrounded by three sides, and the lord will be attacked from several sides as soon as he makes a move. But in fact, as long as the lord moves, no matter which side is attacked, he will not immediately fall into this situation. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are all heroes in the world, and they know the way of cold lips and teeth, but there is still a gap between them, and it is absolutely impossible to see that the lord's actions are to work together to besiege and kill the lord. ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, since Wei Tao had the intention of sending troops, he naturally understood this truth.

"Gong Jin, our army should have at least three months, of course, if our army breaks through the city quickly, then it is very likely to be attacked in advance, and after deducting the strength of the defense, the number of troops that our army can move freely is also limited, what should we do now?"

Wei Tao actually has his own decision in his heart, but Wei Tao wants to hear the thoughts of Zhou Yu, his most trusted strategist.

"Liu Bei occupies the land of Xichuan and guards the choke point, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the army rushes to kill, it is difficult to make a difference, and the Xichuan Mountain Road crisscrosses our army does not know the geography, it is very likely that it will be lost in it, if it is to attack Xichuan, I am afraid that it will not be successful for several years!"

Zhou Yu directly opened his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he denied attacking Liu Bei.

"The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, and if Liu Bei is attacked, logistics and transportation are also a problem, at most, it is able to recapture the world of Liangzhou, which is indeed inappropriate."

Wei Tao nodded slightly, he really didn't think about attacking Liu Bei, Tianshui was occupied by him, but after all, Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not a key road or a place where soldiers must fight, even if there is a loss, there is no need to worry.

"The attackers of the lord are none other than Cao Cao and Sun Quan, of which Cao Cao is stronger, and Sun Quan has the advantage of the Yangtze River. Even if the lord is hesitant, it is probably one of the two. ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, although he already had his own decision in his heart, even Wei Tao was not sure that his decision was correct, otherwise he would not have come to consult with Zhou Yu.

"I thought that the lord should attack Sun Quanye!"

This time, Zhou Yu didn't say much, and directly gave his own conclusions.

"What Gong Jin is planning is similar to mine!"

Wei Tao naturally thought the same in his heart, and when he heard that Zhou Yu saw the same as himself, he couldn't help but laugh at it.

"Although Sun Quan has three generations in Jiangdong, but unlike his father and brother, that Sun Quan has no outstanding record, even if Cao Cao was defeated in Jiangdong in the past, it is also thanks to the strategy of Na Lusu. As for the Jiangdong moat, Gan Xingba has been training the navy for a long time, and it has been very effective. Although the previous battles took advantage of the other party's ignorance, it can also be seen that the navy is good at fighting. ”

"What the lord said is very true!"

Zhou Yu also smiled and nodded slightly.

"Although Jiangxia is more prosperous than Fancheng, Jiangxia was originally built to guard against Jiangdong. really talks about the protection of our army, but it is not as good as Fancheng. And in comparison, Cao Cao has the Son of Heaven, since it is still the Han Dynasty today, the lord should not act arbitrarily. ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, Cao Cao's civil strife also gave Wei Tao a great warning, so Wei Tao also subconsciously avoided such a situation.

Just like Xun Yu, the strategist under Cao Cao, there are also a group of people who support the Son of Heaven under his command who are clustered around Xun Yu.

Although Wei Tao is not worried about what Xun You will do, if he attacks the Son of Heaven clearly, I am afraid that he will choose to retreat if he is caught in the middle.

Wei Tao didn't want to be like this, no matter what, Xun You was a counselor who had followed him for a long time and made many contributions.

"Gong Jin, although Cao Cao has a connection with Sun Quan's region, but now the closest thing is between Fancheng and Jiangxia, if I attack Jiangxia, I am afraid that Cao Cao will attack from my belly, but I need to be guarded against. There is also that Liu Bei, although I drove him away from the four counties of Jingnan, but he is guarding the public security and is ready to go down at any time, and he also needs to resist with a general. Who should be the one who doesn't know these two places? ”

"If there are several generals under the command of the lord, there are several people, among whom Zhang Liao and Xu Huang are the leaders. Now that the north is peaceful, according to the lord's plan, the Wuhuan is gradually returning to his heart, and some ordinary herdsmen have recognized themselves as Han people. There is no need for the two generals to stick to the north, but they can go south, so that Zhang Wenyuan can defend Cao Cao, and Xu Gong will be the enemy Liu Bei. With the prudence and caution of the two, they will definitely not let Cao Cao and Liu Bei easily attack the back of the lord. ”

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Zhou Yu immediately replied.

"In addition, the lord can also make Zhao Yun lead the cavalry of the state to camp in Xiangyang, where there is a change, it is to immediately respond, so that it can be completely guaranteed!"

Wei Tao thought about it carefully and found that Zhou Yu's plan was indeed good.

"Okay, just as Gong Jin said, in addition, I will send Zhang He and Pan Feng to help him, and I must be able to block Cao Cao and Liu Bei. This time, Gong Jin went with me to attack Jiangxia. If we can get Jiangxia, I hope that when the time comes, I can go down the river and attack Jiangdong, as long as we can capture Jiangdong, then there will be few enemies left in our army! ”

"The lord's original intention was to seek Jingzhou and then peep at the three heroes, but now the lord is preparing to destroy Sun Quan first?"

Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, Zhou Yu had always thought that Wei Tao would launch a first attack, and his intention was only to seize Jingzhou, but he never thought that Wei Tao's purpose was to directly eliminate Sun Quan.

"It's better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, these days of back and forth battles, but also make me feel tired, if I only take Jiangxia, then the situation in Jingzhou can change? is still surrounded by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. If this is the case, even if the losses are heavier, I should first destroy the princes along the way. The reason why Sun Quan was chosen, and there was also Cao Cao, who also crossed several states, was not for a moment to break. ”

At this time, Zhou Yu did not answer immediately, but pondered silently, and after a long while, he said slowly.

"The lord should know that even if Gan Ning, Yu Ban, and Pan Zhang train the navy day and night, and nearly half of the original Jingzhou navy is taken by me, but the real water army that can be used is only 50,000 people, and once the 50,000 water army is lost, if there is no work for several years, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover!"

Wei Tao was slightly silent, of course he knew this, but at this time, Zhou Yu ignored it and continued directly.

"In my estimation, after the annexation of the Jiangxia Naval Army, the Jiangdong Naval Army is probably 100,000, if the lord is to fight steadily, these 50,000 naval troops may still be able to fight. But if the lord is easy to advance, then he may be defeated by Jiangdong, and the good situation will be no longer there! ”

Zhou Yu didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of his words was already very clear, he was not optimistic about Wei Tao's actions, this was persuading Wei Tao.

"Gong Jin is worried that I have never commanded a water battle?"

Wei Tao was silent for a while, but he asked slowly.

"I know that Gong Jin naturally has the ability to fight in the water, if I take Gong Jin as the governor of the water army and control the army, I don't know if Gong Jin can break Jiangdong for me?"

Wei Tao also didn't want to give up this idea, and Wei Tao's trust also made Zhou Yu couldn't help but be moved, and couldn't help but ask himself repeatedly if it was okay.

For a moment, the entire hall fell silent. (To be continued......)
