Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong sincerely admired Tian Fan. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Tian Fan is not better than them, and even in many aspects, to be precise, in most aspects, he is much weaker than them. However, the impressions formed in adolescence are often difficult to change.

When the three met for the first time, Tian Fan was already famous, and with his farming skills, he was reused by Liu Bei and valued by Zheng Xuan. At that time, Tian Fan was a being that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked up to. After that, Tian Fan's question tortured them for a long time, to be exact, until today, it is still torturing them! Therefore, Tian Fan belongs to the existence of Sima Hui in their hearts.

Then, with the passage of time, the Xuzhou Group became stronger and stronger, and Tian Fan, a rising star, attracted the attention of the world, and for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, young people who like and hope to lead troops, Tian Fan needs them to look up. In terms of learning, although Tian Fan's knowledge of classics and music is also very bad, he is beyond the level of all people in this era, attracting people's attention, making the rest of the aspects not so conspicuous. Zhuge Liang and the others only knew that the three teachers often studied and admired many of the mathematical theories created by Tian Fan, and even Mr. Liu Yuanzhuo, who had the highest level of mathematical mathematics in the world, often instigated something from Tian Fan.

If you like someone, you will look at his merits, and in the same way, if you worship someone, you will only look at his merits.

For example, Zhuge Liang and the others, what they see is only Tian Fan's advantages, so this admiration and worship has continued until now.

Tian Fan, whom they admire, since he went to Jiangdong once, often praised another person, even this person was younger than them, which made them very unconvinced, because Tian Fan praised them not as much as Sun Quan. This year, Zhuge Liang is eighteen years old, Pang Tong is twenty years old, and it is the time when the character is about to be stereotyped, and it is not yet stereotyped, there is both the impulse of a young man and the maturity and stability of an adult. Therefore, when they saw Sun Quan, they wanted to embarrass him very much, to see if he was as clever as Tian Fan said!

After the tea business was finalized, Zhuge Liang rehashed the old story and asked Sun Quan again about his views on the situation in the world.

Sun Quan drank a belly of tea, and the wine was almost sober. But he looked at Tian Fan, and after seeing his unusually concerned eyes, he pretended that he hadn't woken up yet, laughed three times with a little flamboyance, and said, "Brother Kong Ming, you are older than me, and you have three top teachers, so your knowledge should be much higher than that of Zaixia." Hehe, my opinion on the situation in the world, this topic is really a bit ...... for me However, since Brother Kong Ming asked, then I will get an axe in the class and be presumptuous! ”

After a slight pause, he took a sip of tea and said: "In today's world, it is still nominally the Han world, but in fact, the Han has existed in name only!" ”

This sentence can be described as earth-shattering, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, as well as Tian Fan, actually know that Jiangdong has long been self-reliant, in fact, all the princes of the world have this idea, since Yuan Shu became the emperor, the last trace of face of the Han royal family has been gone, no matter how much you shout about reviving the Han Dynasty and being loyal to the Han family, it is actually the same thing. It's just the difference between fifty steps and ninety steps! What is the saying? Everyone's brothers are better than JB, a hanging sample!

In the spring of this year, when Liu Biao and Yuan Shao sacrificed heaven and earth, the standard of ceremonial guards and the number and grade of sacrificial items used were the standards that only the emperor could use, and the heart of self-reliance was already clearly revealed. Yuan Shao may have been bursting with self-confidence because he got the jade seal of the country, but Liu Biao ...... Tian Fan was a little puzzled, what basis did he have for doing this? And here in Xuzhou, Liu Bei's standard is slightly lower, but it is also the standard of princes and kings, which proves that his ambitions are also expanding.

It's just that everyone thinks in their hearts, and no one says it. The truth of shooting the first bird with a gun is known to most people.

Tian Fan and the others didn't expect that Sun Quan would say this kind of thing directly!

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and Pang Tong asked, "Oh? So, Zhongmou thinks that among the current princes, which ones have the strength to win the world? ”

Sun Quan smiled and said with drunken eyes: "There are four!" General, Cao Sikong, Yuan Sima, and I Jiangdong! ”

Zhuge Liang said quietly: "Why these four? Yizhou Liu Jiyu, Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng, and Hanzhong Zhang Gongqi are all hopeful? ”

Sun Quan shook his head and said disdainfully: "Liu Jingsheng is the lord of Shoucheng, if he is a generation of virtuous ministers in the peaceful years, but at this time, it is a troubled time, and he will be a little unable to keep up." As for Liu Jiyu, hehe, this person is even more unbearable than Liu Jingsheng. He can neither pioneer nor hold on. As for Zhang Gongqi in Hanzhong...... This person has the ability, otherwise it would be impossible not to fall behind in the confrontation with Liu Jiyu in the past few years. It's a pity that Hanzhong is a sparsely populated place, and it is not a place for Kunpeng to spread its wings after all! ”

After a slight pause, he took a sip of tea and continued: "As for the rest of the princes, it is not worth mentioning!" ”

Pang Tong bowed slightly, his eyes showed admiration, Sun Quan's words were not much different from what he thought in his heart. He asked, "So, from the perspective of Zhongmou, how many more years will the world be in turmoil?" ”

Sun Quan glanced at him, frowned and shook his head, and said, "Little brother, the turmoil in the world will continue for fifty years, or more!" ”

Zhuge Liang and Pang were stunned and asked in unison, "Fifty years?" Why? ”

Sun Quan shook his head slowly and said, "The princes of the world are fighting, but none of the princes can have the strength of absolute detachment, so the chaos is bound to last." But ......"

After a slight pause, he looked at Tian Fan and said, "When I said fifty years of melee, I didn't actually mean that I would fight for fifty years in a row!" Rather, within ten years, a relatively balanced pattern has been formed in the world, and there are only a few princes left in the world, and these families have entered a period of confrontation for a long time. After that, after thirty or forty years of accumulation of strength, and at the same time waiting for civil strife among the princes of one side, so as to break the balance between these princes, and then unify the world. ”

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong couldn't help nodding secretly, which was also very close to their thoughts.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked: "So, Zhong Mou thinks that after ten years, how many princes in the world will remain?" Which territories did these princes control? ”

Sun Quan first looked at Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and then at Tian Fan, and said with a smile: "Brother Boguang, Kong Ming asked today, and I said it, if there is anything offended, please forgive me!" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm the place to speak freely!" ”

Sun Quan bowed his head slightly and said, "After ten years of scuffle, there will only be two princes left in the world!" ”

The three of them were stunned, and Tian Fan hurriedly asked, "Which two are they?" ”

Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Little brother doesn't know either!" After a slight pause, he continued: "Let's talk about the northern princes first!" Looking at it now, among the princes north of the river, there are three generals, Cao Sikong, and Yuan Sima. The younger brother believes that these three families have the strength to dominate Jiangbei. ”

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, he continued: "Among the three princes, Yuan Benchu is the strongest...... In other words, since the destruction of Yuan Shu last year, the strength of the great general is the strongest. But no matter what, Cao Mengde is the weakest one. However, Cao Mengde has a lot of good generals and strategists, and he is not weaker than the generals under his command, so he is not without opportunities. ”

With a long breath and a look at Tian Fan, he said: "The battle between these three princes, with the guess of the junior brother, is difficult to see within ten years. It is even said that it is difficult for a certain prince to be eliminated within ten years, unless the other two cooperate, or in other words, there is a problem within a certain prince, and there is a stupid trick. ”

Tian Fan showed appreciation on his face, nodded slowly, and said, "Zhongmou is clever!" Well, do you think which of these three princes may end up in a stupid move? ”

Sun Quan said without hesitation: "Yuan Benchu! ”

Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, and Zhuge Liang asked, "Oh? Why? ”

Sun Quan smiled and said: "Yuan Benchu's character is there, he is conceited, he can gather talents but can't use them, he can't stand his subordinates who are smarter than him, and the person who makes the first move will definitely be him!" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Not bad! Well, then, which prince do you think he will be destroyed? ”

Sun Quan smiled and said, "Naturally, it's a general!" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Why?" ”

Sun Quan said: "First, Cao Mengde's strength is limited, but I am afraid that he will not be able to destroy Yuan Benchu. Second, even if Yuan Benchu made a faint move and made the internal weak, at that time, I am afraid that the general will not sit idly by and watch Yuan Benchu be destroyed by Cao Mengde! ”

Pang Tong nodded and smiled, and said, "So, what about after that?" After the general destroys Cao Mengde, what will happen to the north? ”

Sun Quan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Wait! is still the sentence just now, the general is strong, and Cao Mengde is not weak! What's more, Cao Mengde now controls Guanzhong and Luoyang, and if the war is unfavorable, he can retreat there. Those two places can be described as impregnable, as long as he doesn't make a stupid move, within three or five years, even with the strong strength of the general, it will not be easy to take. What's more, the Sili region connects Hanzhong and Liangzhou, if you can control Liangzhou and get the good horse of Longyou, I am afraid that Cao Mengde will come to the Central Plains without the power of a battle.

"And the land of Hanzhong, connected to Yizhou, if you can control the country of abundance, then Cao Mengde's chances can be said to be greatly increased. First, you can send troops in two ways, one for Luoyang and the other for Hanzhong. As long as there is good cooperation between the two roads, it is estimated that the general will have a headache! Second, the country of abundance is rich, and if it controls it, it has an inexhaustible wealth and population. When a war is fought, it is money, food and population. If the situation does not allow it, he can wait for the opportunity, anyway, it is really difficult for the general to attack Luoyang and Hanzhong! ”

Tian Fan bowed slightly, and said: "You have finished talking about the north, according to your thoughts, the remaining princes in the north are my lord and Cao Mengde, and there will be a relatively long period of confrontation between the two, and then the family will unify the north." So, what about the South? ”

Sun Quan smiled proudly and said, "Naturally, it's my Jiangdong family!" ”

Pang Tong bowed his head slightly and said, "Go on!" ”

Sun Quan nodded and said: "My Jiangdong soldiers are strong and strong, as long as I solve Baiyue within three or five years, and then take Jingzhou in three years, at that time, I am afraid that the melee between the northern princes has not ended." If there is a chance, we will take advantage of the melee in the north to take Yizhou, if there is no chance, then we will control Yiling, and then sit and watch the situation and wait for the opportunity! ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "After the reunification of the north, we have a strong enough naval army in Jiangdong, although the north is stronger than us, but it can't cross the river, and everything is not to be discussed." ”

Tian Fan nodded slightly, and said: "What you mean is that Jiangdong took advantage of the chaos in the north to secretly develop its strength, and then unified the south of the river, so the pattern of confrontation between the north and the south was formed in the world." After that, after thirty or forty years of development, if one side makes a mistake, that side will be finished, right? ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

ps: I owe two chapters yesterday and today, and I paid it back on Saturday. Lack of change and break has become a habit, I don't dare to expect everyone's forgiveness, I can only shake my head and smile bitterly, and say, I have been working for 20 days in a row......
