Wiping the wine from the corners of his mouth, Tian Fan continued: "So, the harvest of your Jiangdong troubles will not be too big!" Unless...... Unless you strike and rob, slaughter the land you occupy, and then rob the women of your possessions, return immediately. Otherwise, there is no point in this dispatch and nothing to gain! ”

After that, he looked at Zhou Yu and waited for him to answer.

Zhou Yu really cooperated, he shook his head slowly, and said: "The two sheets under my brother's account are from Guangling, and they have a very high status in my Jiangdong, if you know that my brother is burning, killing and looting in their former residence...... Hehe, that's really ...... Don't mention it! ”

Tian Fan bowed slightly, and said: "So, I concluded that Jiangdong would not come to attack Guangling, so I was relieved to let the Guangling defenders participate in the battle to destroy Yuan." Hypothesis, Brother Gongjin, I mean hypothesis! Suppose that within three to six months, we can capture the entire Jiangbei territory of Yuan Shujun, then what is the point of Hefei and Liyang? ”

The reason why Zhou Yu wanted Hefei and Liyang was actually the same purpose. Historically, the geographical location of Hefei City has been very important, especially for Jiangdong. The Huaihe River basin has a wide area and many tributaries, one of which is called Feishui, which is located about 50 miles north-east of Hefei. However, Hefei is close to the shore of Shishui, through the water, connected to Chaohu Lake, and then through a short river of about 100 miles downstream of Chaohu Lake, it can go down the river until the Yangtze River. Once the Yangtze River is crossed, it is Jiangdong's territory!

Through a short land of 50 miles, the Yangtze River basin and the Huaihe River basin are connected, so that the grain in the Huaihe River basin can be continuously collected at a relatively low cost. If the attacking side grasps Hefei, then Hefei is their material transit station, and if they occupy Hefei, the army attacking Jiangdong will have a stable rear, and there will be a steady stream of food to fill their bellies.

All the times Cao Wei attacked Jiangdong, he first attacked Hefei. That's why. Hefei to Jiangdong, that is an outpost, for Cao Wei, is the most reasonable rear. Liyang is the auxiliary of Hefei, on the one hand, it can allow Jiangdong to occupy a suitable territory in Jiujiang, which can be attacked and defended, and on the other hand, it is a corner with Hefei and assists each other.

Zhou Yu knew what Tian Fan meant, if the Xuzhou army could defeat the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang a year ago, then how strong would Xuzhou's infantry combat power be? In that case, even if he could occupy Liyang and Hefei, it would not be possible to support the Xuzhou army's offensive for much time, and it would only increase casualties.

Tian Fan frowned when he saw him, and said: "Brother Gongjin, if Xuzhou wants to attack your Jiangdong, we can rely on Guangling as a front station, and we don't need to march from Hefei at all." Therefore, Hefei is dispensable for you. ”

Zhou Yu glared at him and said, "What about the grain?" Is it just that the products of Guangling are enough for you to support tens of thousands of troops in a battle? ”

Tian Fan shook his head and said, "Although it is insufficient, I believe that there is not much difference!" You also know the tuntian and terraced fields in Guangling County, and the output is quite abundant, although it is insufficient, the rest is also very good to supplement! The tributaries of Huaishui, such as Surabaya and Shushui, connect most of Xuzhou, north to Langya, east to Yingjun, south to Guangling, and west to Peiguo. If there is a real shortage of grain, the warehouses in most places in Xuzhou can be close to these rivers, and through the Huaishui, they can reach their tributaries next to Sheyang County. Sheyang is surrounded by a river, and although the water is not deep, there is no problem in driving a small boat. After fifty miles of Zebo, you can reach Zhongdushui, and you can reach Guangling ...... along the water."

In fact, in history, this path is also possible. However, at that time, the population of Qingxu and Xu Prefecture was slaughtered by Lao Cao, and there was simply not enough population to produce food, so it was never adopted. This road is a little more difficult to walk than in Hefei, and the transportation cost is higher, but it is also a feasible way to do it in desperation. …,

Zhou Yu's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What? Thinking about fighting Koto now? ”

Tian Fan hurriedly relented, laughed twice, and said, "Brother Gongjin, why are you in a hurry?" I say this for one purpose, that is, to tell you that there is not only one way for Xuzhou to fight Jiangdong, so Hefei is not so important to you! Then what do you want Hefei and Liyang for? Isn't that a chicken rib? If you want to fight your Jiangdong, you have to rely on the navy in the end, do you think our Xuzhou navy is good? ”

Zhou Yu sneered a few times and said, "Xuzhou Water Army? Joke! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Isn't this the end?" We also know that the Xuzhou Navy is not your opponent, so how can we be stupid enough to fight you before we unify the north? You say, isn't it? ”

Zhou Yu's face relaxed slightly, nodded slowly, and said, "You can be regarded as knowledgeable!" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said: "In the same way, if you want to conquer a certain place in Xuzhou, it is possible, but you will definitely not be able to defend it!" In that case, why are we still holding back and looking at each other's eyes? You have 18,000 troops in Jingkou and how many troops are there in Niuzhu? ”

Zhou Yu glanced at him and said, "There are 10,000 sailors and 20,000 infantry troops!" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "The number you said is probably inaccurate, you want to scare me?" There's no need for that! Let's assume, assuming that the figures you say are accurate, then the forces that you Jiangdong used to confront and cannot move lightly are 48,000 men......"

Tian Fan made an expression of surprise and regret, and said, "Look at it, 48,000 people!" If this is used on the battlefield, how many results will be produced each year? ”

Looking at Zhou Yu's face and finding that he was somewhat moved, Tian Fan smiled and continued: "You have sect marshals, marshals and many heroes who have risen up from all over Jiangdong, these people occupy a large number of people and land, and they all need to be solved by you, which requires troops!" There are many Shanyue people and barbarians in your Jiangdong territory, if you want to conquer them, you must first fight, and then you can talk, which also requires troops! In the north of Yuzhang County, those territories controlled by Yuan Shu, near Peng Lize, such as Haidu, etc., are feng shui treasures adjacent to the river and rich in oil! If you don't be greedy, Bo Fu won't be greedy? These, too, are troops! ”

After a slight pause, Tian Fan said: "You said, if the two sides continue to confront each other, then you can't do these things, there will always be discordant voices within Jiangdong, although Jiangdong is rich and has a large population, but once it can't be twisted into a rope, then how can you talk about dominating the world?" How can General Bo Fu talk about avenging his father? ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was already very excited! Tian Fan is right, the current situation is similar to Jiangdong and Xuzhou, once the two sides give up hostility and turn to conclude an alliance, there will be no more fortifications between the two sides, and both sides will have enough troops to carry out the next deployment, this is indeed a situation in which cooperation is beneficial and two harms are divided.

But...... Can the Covenant be trusted? Besides, how does Xuzhou want to conclude a contract?

Zhou Yu asked: "Boguang, tell me, what does the general think!" ”

Tian Fan's spirit was shocked, he knew that he had now reached the substantive stage, and he had to concentrate and go all out. He said, "Da Qiao, the sound of the piano will stop first, you come and rest for a while." ”

Da Qiao answered in a low voice and came to Tian Fan's side.

Tian Fan glanced at the two women and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

Xiao Qiao shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not hungry!" ”

Tian Fan said: "I'm hungry!" Brother Gongjin, can you find something to eat? ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Boguang, you are such a rich person, and you still come to beat my autumn wind?" Oh, good! ”

With that, he got up and went out, whispered a few orders to the little colonel at the door, and then closed the door and turned around. …,

Tian Fan said: "Xuzhou plans to do so!" The main content of the covenant was that both sides were not allowed to station troops within 50 miles of the river, and of course, 2,000 naval troops and 1,000 army troops could be stationed in important port areas. However, the navy can only use fighting ships, boats, and light boats, and cannot be stationed in building ships! Of course, you and I don't trust each other, eh...... To be exact, we are fifty miles away, and a certain number of troops must be stationed! In order to increase the trust of the other party, we will allow the other side to send people to monitor its movements in the camp during the covenant. What do you think? ”

After a slight pause, Tian Fan said: "As for the navy, well, after we defeat Yuan Shu, our army will use Chaohu Lake as a naval base, and after you occupy the northern part of Yuzhang, whether to station the naval fleet in Zhenze or Peng Lize, we in Xuzhou will not ask!" However, no more than 2,000 naval troops were to be stationed in Niuzhu and Jingkou, and no more than 1,000 were to be stationed in the army. In addition, once you conquer the northern part of Yuzhang, then you will probably garrison in Peng Lize, and Chaisang will be your main station, so that you can prevent Liu Jingsheng from advancing eastward, but it will also pose a threat to us......"

Tian Fan frowned and thought about it for a long time, and said, "Forget it, so be it!" The threat is the threat, I believe in the character of Gong Jin and Bo Fu! ”

Zhou Yu bowed slightly, pondered for a while, and asked, "How is the contract time calculated?" ”

Tian Fan said: "If it starts from now on, I believe you will not be willing, and besides, our sailors can't arrange it!" In this way, let's start from Xuzhou to destroy Yuan Shu, a period of two years, that is to say, three years of Jian'an and four years of Jian'an, to five years of Jian'an, if you want to beat me Xuzhou, you will accompany you, what do you think? ”

Zhou Yu was surprised, he asked, "Why two years?" ”

Tian Fan explained: "Two years is enough time for you to rectify the interior, and at that time, you must fight Jingzhou, and Bo Fu can avenge your father." At that time, no matter how many soldiers you have gathered in Chaisang, there will definitely not be enough, and reinforcements must be sent from elsewhere. Your sailors also need reinforcements, so naturally they have to take the waterway, can they still pull the boats away on the road without passing through the river?

"At that time, hehe, to put it mildly, you can attack the territory controlled by my Xuzhou at will, and we have to guard against it, so, a two-year period!"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Not bad!" However, you Xuzhou is the same! In two years, it will be enough for you to train a new army, and it will be enough to fight a battle with the princes of the north. Also, your navy ......"

He glanced at Tian Fan and said, "Your navy is stationed in Chaohu Lake, and it's not a solution!" Two years later, they want to fight anyway, right? ”

Tian Fan admitted without pretentiousness and said, "Not bad! It's not good, the soldiers of our navy still want to find you Jiangdong to practice your hands! ”

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Boguang is happy!" When the time comes, my Jiangdong Navy is welcome at any time! ”

Tian Fan also laughed, and after laughing, he said: "The enemy of my Xuzhou Navy will not always be your Jiangdong. We share a river of water and it's normal to have a little friction. I still wonder when they will be allowed to go up from the river to the river. ”

After a slight pause, Tian Fan asked with anticipation, "How is it?" You promised? ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "What did I promise?" I can only tell my brother what you mean, and he has to make up his mind about the big things! ”

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and Zhou Yu shouted, "Come in!" ”

But it was a couple of small schools who came with some food.

Zhou Yu said: "Boguang, let's eat first, I can't give you an exact answer to what you said, and we have to wait for Brother Bofu to nod before our covenant can be realized!" Come, two girls, please too! ”
