Chapter 231: The Second General in the World
The news of Youzhou's submission to Wei Tao soon spread to the world, making the princes of the world look sideways.
And when it took months before and after, Dou Wuhuan and Xianbei to get the help of Youzhou, the situation in the world gradually changed.
One of the biggest changes is the dispute between Yuan and Cao.
Originally, Cao Cao's premeditated plan to capture Qingzhou should have been very smooth, but because Qingzhou Mutian Kai wanted to surrender Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao also sent troops to Yanzhou to fight with Cao Cao, and the two sides fought for a long time, but the final result was unexpected by many people.
This is also the reason why as soon as Wei Tao and Wei Tao returned, Zhou Yu immediately found it.
"Cao Mengde is a hero in the world, and this battle will be won by him, to be honest, I don't feel too surprised."
Facing Zhou Yu, Wei Tao did not hide his intentions.
"What's more, Gongjin and Gongda, you also know that Yuan Shao can be described as fierce, timid, scheming, doing big things and sparing his life, and forgetting his life when he sees small profits. Although there are a large number of ministers and generals under his command, none of them can be used. Especially Na Tian Feng, who was evil by Yuan Shao several times, such a person, is it better than Cao Mengde? ”
"What the lord said is not bad, now Cao Mengde occupies Yanzhou and Qingzhou, although the resistance of these two states is not as good as the lord, but the prosperity is still victorious, if compared with it, I am afraid that even if it is the lord, it can only be said that it is not as good as it."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu's face also showed a hint of melancholy.
"Cao Cao is in the south, if the lord takes Jizhou, there will be a fight with it, I have heard that Cao Cao's ambition is similar to the lord's ambition, but in Cao Mengde's case, the chaos of the Han Dynasty. It is even more important to support the Han family. When the time comes. Even if it's our army. I'm afraid it will inevitably conflict with it. ”
"This ......"
Wei Tao was a little hesitant, not because he was afraid of Cao Cao, but because Wei Tao really didn't want to start a war with the Han princes, no matter whether he won or lost, there were many casualties.
If the previous battles were still because of inevitable conflicts, then with Cao Cao, Wei Tao really can't think of any reason to fight with them.
But Wei Tao, who is familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, understands. This is likely to be inevitable, and if the Han wants to re-unify, it is inevitable that they will fight.
Originally, Wei Tao also thought that with his relationship with Cao Cao, he would not say that he would avoid it, but he would also extend such a battle as much as possible until after the war with the alien race.
When the time comes, the history of Wuhu Chaohua will be changed by Wei Tao, and Wei Tao thinks that the mission of this era will be over.
Unfortunately, it seems that this is not the case.
At least now, Wei Tao has found that his ideal situation is difficult to achieve.
"The lord doesn't have to worry, although Cao Cao has now occupied the land of the two states, there is Yuan Shao in the west and Yuan Shu in the south. Although the children of the Yuan family are not as good as Cao Cao, and the Yuan family's heritage has also been exhausted. But Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's strength is not weak after all, and they are enough to entangle with them for a long time. At that time, the lord took the opportunity to unify Jizhou, gathered the power of the three states of Merger, Ji and You, and the military generals under the lord's command were enough to make Cao Cao jealous. As long as the lord is willing to surrender to the Han, then Cao Cao must not dare to be too persecutive. ”
For Wei Tao's ambition, Xun You and Zhou Yu both understood, and naturally knew why Wei Tao was hesitant at this time, and at the moment Xun You just opened his mouth to persuade him, in comparison, he was even more unwilling for Wei Tao to participate in the competition for the world.
"Lord, it's too early to worry about these things, although Qingzhou has to fall into the hands of Cao Cao, but the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will not subside, under mutual containment, I'm afraid no one will dare to fight openly with the lord at will. Some time ago, the lord rushed to Youzhou, although Yuan Jun could know, but he always retreated to Yecheng and did not come to a step, so it can be known. ”
In Zhou Yu's opinion, the best way to realize Wei Tao's ambition is to dominate the world, and then use the power of the world to destroy the alien race, and then the world can be determined.
So at this time, Zhou Yu quietly diverted the topic and said with a slight smile.
"Speaking of which, I'm afraid there is another thing that the lord doesn't know, the lord is Nayouzhou, and the matter of defeating the nine generals has now spread all over the world, and many people are preaching the prestige of the lord, thinking that only the lord can sweep away the alien race and protect the peace of my Han Dynasty, and now the lord is already admired by the world!"
"And such a thing? I fought in Youzhou only before the eleventh or twelfth day, Gong Jin can know? That being the case, Gong Jin is coming quickly, and I don't know how the heroes of the world will treat this matter. ”
Although Wei Tao didn't care about reputation, when he heard what Zhou Yu said, his trip could be recognized by people all over the world, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and immediately asked quickly.
"Huh...... Wuhuan alien race is my Han henchman for a long time, the lord has been flat, and then defeated nine generals, including Zhang Yan, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and other generals with a lot of brave names, so the lord's martial arts and courage have been recognized by the people of the world. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu suddenly smiled slightly, and then said slowly.
"I heard that Lu Bu, who is now entrenched in Xuzhou, heard about the lord's trip, and said: I can't imagine that this person is here, and the children under the tiger prison in the past have such courage? If I have the opportunity, I will definitely fight with it again, and see how brave it is! ”
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao was stunned.
Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian?
The red rabbit among the horses, and the Lu Bu among the people, this is not a lie.
You must know that there is no first, there is no second, and being a military general is to have self-confidence, but this definitely does not include playing against Lu Bu.
Except for some arrogant people, no one can have the confidence to fight with Lu Bu alone, really, that is Wu Wusan, and no one can compete with Lu Bu at all.
I don't even know when it started, Dou Lu Bu used group beatings to become the most common thing, and even so, I didn't dare to say that I could beat Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's name as the world's first military general can be described as veritable.
Therefore, even Wei Tao's two human natures couldn't help but feel a little excited after hearing this.
"That's true, I'm afraid the lord still doesn't know, since these words came out of Lu Bu's mouth three days ago, someone is famous for the lord, and now the lord is the second general in the world."
"The second general in the world."
Chewing on this sentence, Wei Tao couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"Not to mention the others, even Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, I just have no certainty of victory, let alone be able to fight with Lu Bu. It seems that there are a lot of people in the world who have a heart, this is to force me to have a bad relationship with Lu Bu, or to become a thorn in the eye of the world's martial artists, a thorn in the flesh! ”
Wei Tao was naturally not stupid, he originally thought it was a little strange, where could the news spread so quickly, but it turned out to be someone with a heart.
"In fact, there are disadvantages and advantages to this matter, and the name of the Lord will definitely attract real heroes to come, so that the Lord has the opportunity to accept it. As for the hostility of others, except for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the other princes did not directly border, and it was not a big problem for the lord. ”
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said.
"And since the lord is determined to clean up the alien race, and the trouble of my Han is not to say, let alone the second general in the world, even if it is Lu Bu himself, it is also a threshold that the lord can't bypass, otherwise how can the lord make the alien race also surrender?"
"Haha...... What Gong Jin said is also very true, so I took the title of the second general in the world! ”
Wei Tao was originally a bold figure, and he didn't have the slightest fear of this in his heart, but now when he heard Zhou Yu say this, he responded to this sentence by the way, and even said it unceremoniously.
"I hope it can be as Gong Jin said, so that I can see how the heroes of the world are capable of!"
Hearing Wei Tao's words, several people in the room couldn't help but smile.
This is also because Wei Tao is in a good situation now, although Youzhou is not completely under Wei Tao's command, but this is only a matter of time.
Moreover, Wuhuan and Xianbei have now started a war, and the border of Youzhou is even more troublesome.
Wei Tao is naturally in a good mood, and he has a different feeling about such things.
"Lord, I heard Wen Jue say that the lord intends to build a naval army, and he is also going to recruit Na Ganning?"
After laughing, Zhou Yu's expression was straight, and he asked Wei Tao.
This matter was discussed with Pan Zhang a few months ago, and Pan Zhang was originally invited to Jingzhou at that time, but the subsequent series of battles made Wei Tao unable to be distracted and pay attention to this matter.
Now that Zhou Yu mentioned it again, Wei Tao immediately nodded, and then said seriously.
"Gong Jin, you also know that the reason why I was able to lead the army to make a detour to attack Wuhuan this time is by water, but not to mention its simple ships, it is difficult for the elite of our army to adapt, if someone takes advantage of this to bypass me, then it will be a disaster at that time, and since it can be done this time, then when I am an enemy with Wuhuan or Xianbei in the future, can I use it in the same way?"
Hearing Wei Tao's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but nod slightly, in Zhou Yu's opinion, what Wei Tao said was indeed reasonable, but Xun Yu's face flashed a little worried.
In Xun You's opinion, it would be this to attack Wei Tao, who else would there be besides the princes in the south of the Yangtze River?
And in addition to such occasional use, isn't the so-called water army also aimed at the princes of Jiangnan?
Of course, Xun You and Zhou Yu naturally didn't know that Wei Tao was a human being for two lives, knew the importance of this ocean, and also understood that if this sea frontier was not protected, it would also be a bandit, and it would not be easy to make up for it when the time came.
So Zhou Yu and Xun Yu are happy, and the other is worried, but fortunately, the two of them are Wei Tao's advisers at this time, although their thoughts are different, but they are both trying their best to plan for Wei Tao, so after learning of Wei Tao's decision, Zhou Yu should be the first to say.
"If the lord wants to build a navy, it is naturally necessary, but if this is the case, I am afraid that in the future, more than half of the lord's income and taxes will be spent on this, I wonder if the lord is prepared?" (To be continued......)
