"Gong Jin, this time thanks to you and Xingba, if it weren't for this plan, even if you could have won the four counties of Jingnan. I am afraid that the casualties of our army are also several times higher. ”

Wei Tao sighed a little, in fact, it was true, if there was no Zhou Yu's strategy, Wei Tao would not have won the four counties of Jingnan so easily.

However, after Wei Tao just sighed, he quickly looked straight and looked at Zhou Yu and said.

"But Mu Xiu in the forest, the wind will destroy it, whether it is Cao Cao, or Sun Quan can not let our army sit big, if our army is injured to the root, they will not pay attention, but now although our army has been injured, but it has not shaken the fundamentals, if there is a few months of opportunity, you can restore the old view, with Cao Cao, Sun Quan's strategy will not let go of the army, and although Liu Bei is defeated, but also did not hurt the bones, once there is carelessness, the same may come back, I don't know if Gong Jin can teach me?"

"I know the words of the lord very well, but chasing the world is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. For example, if it is four points today, the single land occupied by the lord has already accounted for more than half, if it is not a vast and sparsely populated place, I am afraid that the situation in the world has been settled! In this way, how can it not be noticed by other princes? The princes of this world are not stupid, and they will not let the lord be destroyed. ”

Zhou Yu smiled at the moment, but Wei Tao had nothing to refute, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

However, Zhou Yu looked straight at this time and said seriously.

"The lord and the lord should not be taken lightly, if there is no Jingzhou, then the lord is facing only Cao Cao. Although Xichuan can be released, the road is difficult to travel, as long as a general is dispatched, it can be defended. But now that the lord has taken half of Jingzhou, the situation has changed. The land of Jingzhou connects the east and the west. Connecting the North and the South. It is a place where soldiers must fight. Once you make up your mind. Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Beizheng attacked from three sides, and when the lord was defeated, the hard-earned Jingzhou would have to be surrendered, and the elite of the lord's men was spent in vain. ”

"What Gong Jin said is worrying about me! Now although Sun Cao is fighting, if the news of Liu Bei's defeat comes out, then the two sides will inevitably work together. Now it is not possible to solve it by attacking one side again, even if our army attacks Liu Bei in the west, I am afraid that Sun Cao's two armies will also attack my belly and back. It is definitely not like before, and even fight for Jingzhou first. ”

Wei Tao also saw the situation very clearly, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and asked again.

"In that case, what does Gong Jin think I should do?"

"Lord, now is to gain time to recuperate and rest as soon as possible, and strengthen his strength, if you use brute force, you must not use brute force, so you still look at the tricks!"

Zhou Yu just smiled slightly, a top strategist like Zhou Yu. If it is said that he has not considered this matter at all, it is naturally impossible, and Zhou Yu immediately thought about it one by one.

"The two countries are also fighting each other. In this case, why didn't the lord send envoys to Cao Cao and Sun Quan? ”

"Oh?"

Wei Tao thought about it slightly, and for a while he couldn't figure out what Zhou Yu meant.

"I don't know what Gong Jin means by this? Even if the two armies are going to fight, they don't need me to write a war letter, right? ”

"Huh...... The lord is a general, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, this is sealed by His Majesty, and the world knows it! Now that he is fighting here, he naturally has to respect the order of the lord. Private fighting can be described as a misery for the people of Jingzhou, the lord is a general, and mediation is also a matter of course. ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, but said something that surprised Wei Tao.

This is the right of the Lord, and he naturally has to listen. If they don't listen and don't talk about the righteous things, will the two armies continue to fight? If you follow the words of the lord, he will attack the lord when he turns his head? That makes his name even more absent. ”

Zhou Yu said this, which suddenly made Wei Tao stunned.

In fact, Wei Tao has always relied on military affairs, and there is not so much research on these things, but as long as Zhou Yu says a little, Wei Tao can also understand.

Things are really as Zhou Yu said!

"In that case, I wonder who is the messenger?"

"My lord, Ma Liang, whom I sponsored before, had a trip to envoy Cao Cao, and he did not fall into the prestige of our army at that time, but now he can make it for him. And I have been friends with the Ma family recently, but I know that his brother Ma Tan also has a long talent, so I can let him use it for the lord's office. He can also be a deputy envoy, and I believe that the Ma brothers will not disappoint the lord on this trip. ”

If it was someone else, I am afraid that after hearing Zhou Yu's words, I am afraid that I will feel a little uneasy in my heart.

After all, Ma Tancai's reputation is too famous, and I am afraid it is difficult to be trusted by others.

But Wei Tao is different, he has long known that history has been unrecognizable so far, so it is impossible for Ma Jian to have historical things, and even if it is in history, if there is no talent, how can it be affirmed by Zhuge Liang?

Coupled with the fact that it was recommended by Zhou Yu now, Wei Tao naturally would not refuse, thought about it slightly, and nodded.

"In this way, let the Ma family brothers go through, and they don't need to do anything, but if they can make Cao Cao and Sun Quan not move for a while, then it will be a great achievement."

"No."

Until now, it is impossible for Wei Tao to give orders one by one, and after making this decision, naturally someone rushed to Xiangyang to pass Wei Tao's orders.

The Ma family is a big clan in Jingzhou, but compared with other big clans in Jingzhou in the past, its power is still insufficient, especially when Liu Biao is here, the Ma family is at most a small official, and it is just a little famous.

But since Zhou Yu recommended Wei Tao and Ma Liang was the envoy, the Ma family seemed to be prosperous.

Faced with such a situation, the people of the Ma family naturally understood why, so they always hoped to be more reused, and now as soon as they got the news, Ma Liang immediately found Ma Yan.

"Young, the world says that my talent is above everyone in the Ma family, but I am the only one who knows, but when I was old and talented, I did not meet the master, and now, even though I can be prominent for a while, but my Ma family wants to have a long-term foothold depends on you. Now that the lord is destined to come, Zhou Junshi has even elected you as a deputy envoy, so this opportunity cannot be missed! ”

Ma Liang looked at Ma Jian and said, the Ma family actively took refuge in Wei Tao's command, naturally thinking that Wei Tao was the master, and now that he saw the opportunity, how could his eyes not brighten.

"What the elder brother said is very true, and this time the matter is not simple, the lord has made it clear that if it can be done, it will be a great achievement, and if it is not successful, it is enough to see the importance of this matter. I'm afraid that after the battle between the lord and Liu Bei, he himself was also injured a lot, and he wanted to get time to recuperate, so he wanted to stop him. ”

Ma Jian is indeed talented, and in a word, the focus of this point made Ma Liang nod slightly.

"But only in this way can we see our ability, if we can really buy time for the lord, then my Ma family will be able to gain a foothold under the lord."

"Yes, but that Cao Cao is a heroic man for a while, and it is not easy to say, and although Sun Quan is not as cunning as Cao Cao, he can unify Jiangdong and stabilize the foundation, and it is not easy to match him.

Ma Liang can be praised by Zhou Yu, he is indeed not a wasted person, he is also very wise, as soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed out the inappropriateness of it, discussed major matters, and naturally couldn't take care of some miscellaneous things.

"What my brother said is the same, but if you really have the heart, you can make Cao Cao and Sun Quan unable to move without spending a single soldier!"

But after hearing Ma Liang's concern, Ma Jian replied quite proudly.

"Oh?"

Ma Liang naturally knows that Ma Jian is proud, but he also knows that this pride is because Ma Jian is extraordinary, and in some things, even Ma Liang himself is inferior to Ma Jian.

"Although Sun Quan in Jiangdong has three generations based in Jiangdong, Sun Quan and his people are just borrowing the power of his brother, although the battle with Cao Cao is to make him have a foundation in Jiangdong, but the soldiers under his command are either local people in Jiangdong, or the original Sun Jian, Sun Ce old ministers, although Sun Quan can be the master, but often subject to his subordinates."

Hearing Ma Liang's question, Ma Jian immediately said confidently.

"Jiangdong Shi has the trouble of Shanyue, had to spend a lot of troops to pacify, now Sun Quan went out to fight, but it was restless at home, as long as the messenger was sent to say that our army was willing to fund Shanyue to go down the mountain, Shanyue will definitely follow. At that time, Sun Quan will definitely be difficult to separate, after all, for the Jiangdong clan, no matter how good the land of the Central Plains is, it is not as dangerous as the family! ”

Hearing Ma Yan's words, Na Ma's conscience suddenly jumped, and he immediately said.

"I often know the heart of the lord for the foreigners, and I am afraid that the lord will never agree with such a troubled Han policy!"

"Huh...... The elder brother is too worried, not to say that the lord is very talented, but only that one day, when the lord leads Jiangdong, he must get rid of this big trouble, and when the time comes, will he have to fight with him in the mountains and forests? It is first lured into the plains, and then it is broken in one fell swoop. In this case, why not let Sun Quan bear this, and then the lord will be able to succeed again. ”

Ma Tan smiled indifferently.

"When the time comes, as long as it is offered together with the strategy of destroying Shanyue, presumably the lord will not refuse, as for the things given to Shanyue, just provide some food, after all, even if Sun Quan destroys Shanyue, for the lord, there will be a hundred benefits and no harm!"

Hearing Ma Yan's explanation, Ma Liang couldn't help but nod slightly, Ma Liang's wisdom is not bad, and he can naturally imagine what effect it will have if he does this.

"In this way, it is indeed a wonderful strategy, and I am really a thousand miles away! But Sun Quan is like this, so how does Cao Cao deal with it? Compared with Sun Quan, this Cao Cao is even more of a confidant of the lord! ”

"Huh...... What about Cao Cao? There is also a way to do it! ”

In the face of Ma Liang's question, Ma Jian smiled more confidently, as if everything was under control. (To be continued......)
