When it comes to the strategic concept of Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair", except for Kong Ming himself, there is probably no one who understands it more deeply than Shi Xun in these years - without him, the relevant research articles in the next two thousand years are full of sweat, some praise and some depreciation, some find fault and some completely deny. In Shi Xun's view, the strategic concept is sloppy after all, and it is a fool's dream to demand that all aspects are required, and the subsequent tactical failure cannot be attributed to strategy. If Liu Bei changes Zhuge Liang to guard Jiangling, Jingzhou may not be lost, and "Longzhong Pair" may come to reality from paper - Zhuge Liang may not be brave when he fights, but he is at least cautious, and he will not inexplicably go to a stalemate with Eastern Wu.

Therefore, Shi Xun has a very high evaluation of "Longzhong Pair", and as far as Liu Bei is concerned, it is the only strategic concept that can be implemented and has the opportunity to win the world. I thought that since history had changed, this set of strategies would dissipate before it sprouted, but I didn't expect to hear Kong Ming's arguments with my own ears. I can discuss "Longzhong Pair" with Zhuge Liang, this thing is interesting, Shi Xun's interest immediately increased, and he asked: "Can Yizhou be obtained?" ”

Zhuge Liang said that it can be obtained - "If Liu Junlang (Liu Yan) is here, I am afraid that it will not be available, and now Yan is dead, and Liu Jiyu (Liu Zhang) attacks it, there are Dongzhou soldiers inside, and Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei attack each other, and they want to take Yizhou, and it is the right time." ”

Yes Xun said, do you know what kind of person Liu Zhang is? You live in Jingzhou, can you be so clear about the shape of Yizhou? Is it really the so-called "scholars don't go out, they can know the world"?

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly: "I haven't seen who Liu Jiyu is, but I've heard about it for a long time." Then he explained to Shixun that Liu Yan was from Jiangxia. When entering Shu. He brought a lot of scholars, soldiers and horses from the eight counties of Jingxiang over. Since then, there have been Jingzhou people to Shuzhong, so through guò to exchange letters, return to the hometown to visit relatives, the situation in Yizhou has been transmitted to Jingxiang, as long as you have the heart to inquire, you can always discover the secrets.

The so-called "scholars don't go out, they can know the world", of course, it is not a closed-door car and a fiction, but a circle of contacts between the people. It is possible to gather important information from each region. Zhuge Kongming is interested in the world, and he is smart, although his reputation in Jingzhou's scholar circle is not well-known, his face is very familiar (he is Huang Chengyan's quasi-son-in-law), so he collected intelligence and analyzed the situation, and he touched Yizhou to the top.

Liu Yan had a total of four sons, the eldest son Liu Fan and the second son Liu Dan, all of whom were in Chang'an, and in order to flee to Yizhou, they colluded with the courtiers to rebel against Li Dao, and were killed by Li Dao. The third son, Liu Mao. is arrogant and brave, and has the best chance to be the heir. However, Dongzhou Shi thought that he was unruly and difficult to control, so he openly advised and secretly cheated, and finally helped Liu Yan's last son, Liu Zhang, to the throne.

Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu are cowards, so Dongzhou Bing thinks he is easy to control. However, cowardice is cowardice, and this guy's coming to power directly caused two civil unrest. One is the Pakistani Zhao Wei, who is Liu Yan's favored minister, has been guarding the eastern front for a long time, and is the enemy Liu Biao, and the indigenous people of Yizhou are deeply oppressed by the Dongzhou scholars, so they gathered around him and openly set off the anti-flag - if Liu Yan is still there, Zhao Wei will definitely not be opposed, if Liu Mao comes to power, Zhao Wei may not be opposed, but Liu Zhang, who is the puppet of Dongzhou scholars, succeeded to the throne, but Zhao Yun couldn't help but not rebel.

The second is that Liu Yan once sent Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu to attack Hanzhong and implement the Taoist method of five buckets of rice road, and since then he has paid tribute in the name of "rice thieves blocking the road". Liu Zhang has always been at odds with Zhang Lu, and when he succeeded to the throne, he actually killed Zhang Lu's entire family, so Zhang Lu was angry, attacked and killed Zhang Xiu, cut the land and became self-defeating, and planned to prepare troops and horses to take Chengdu directly to take revenge.

is also what happened in the past two years, although Zhuge Liang first sent his brother to the funeral of Langxie, and then went north to Jizhou to vote for Shixun, he still had correspondence with many Jingzhou scholars, especially his future father-in-law Huang Chengyan, and inquired about all these things.

According to what he told Shixun, Zhao Wei and Zhang Lu all sent letters to Liu Biao, asking for temporary peace, so that they could fight Liu Zhang without worry, at this time, it was the most chaotic time in Yizhou and Liu Zhang's weakest time-

"If Liu Jingsheng has no troubles, he can help Zhao Wei to send troops to Shuzhong in the name of the two states. However, after the Sun family, Zhang Xian and Zhang Yi were in the south, and they had no way to go west. However, if a general is sent to lead 10,000 people up the river and join forces with Zhao Wei to attack Liu Jiyu, Jiyu will be defeated. ”

Shi Xun frowned slightly: "If this general is Liu Bei, what will happen?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Xuande buys people's hearts in Xinye, I heard that he and Sima Decao are kind, Xu Yuanzhi and others are like-minded......" He didn't get the news that Pang Tong also voted for Liu Bei at this time-"If it is as Mr. said, he is a hero, he can enter the siege of Chengdu, and take the opportunity to send Jingzhou people into the city to shake the Dongzhou scholars." If Xu Zhi kills Zhao Wei and still uses Dongzhou Shi, Liu Zhang can be destroyed, and Yizhou can be obtained. ”

Dongzhou Shi was arrogant and domineering, so they held a group and closely rallied around Liu Zhang, fighting against Zhao Wei and others, for fear that the Yizhou natives would gain power and eradicate their rootless grass in one fell swoop. If a group of fellow villagers came from Jingzhou at this time, saying that after our lord replaced Liu Zhangzhen Shu, he would still maintain the dominance of Dongzhou Shi, then due to the situation, Dongzhou Shi may defect - after all, Liu Jiyu is the teaser version of "Adou who can't be helped", and Dongzhou Shi will see it all clearly at this time.

If it weren't for this, in the original history, how could there be so many leading parties when Liu Bei entered Shu later? Zhang Song is a native of Yizhou, it can be said, Fa Zheng and Meng Da are both from Guanzhong, and they can be regarded as half-pulled "Dongzhou scholars", and Li Yan is a serious Jingzhou born.

The reason is that there are also classes among the Dongzhou scholars, those who are in high positions and hold great power think that it is very practical to support a useless puppet, but the vast majority of middle-level and low-level cadres clearly realize that there is no future if they continue like this, Yizhou will die, and even if they don't die, they may be driven back to their hometowns in disgrace. At this time, if another team comes from his hometown and puts Liu Zhang right, who do you think they might help?

Zhuge Liang comprehensively analyzed the information he had collected, talked eloquently, and was really like a reflection of the situation in Yizhou, and he couldn't help but admire it. It was Xun Xin who said that Kong Ming in the original history, one out and two out of Qishan actually didn't play well, so it was ridiculed by "adapting to the strategy, not his strength", but this young man was only a fledgling, so he expected the world to be divided into three points, and then went to Soochow, saying that Sun Quan, strategic vision is not wrong. This is not only a talent, but also the result of hard work in my youth, although I am still a few years behind Zhuge Liang in front of me, it is no different. It's a pity that I am not the overlord of one side, planning the world, not my burden, Kong Ming's talent, I am afraid that Cheng Dù will be wasted.

But even so, he didn't want to directly dedicate Zhuge Liang to Cao Cao. One is that Cao Cao has countless wizards, and when it comes to strategic planning, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, Guo Jia Fengxiao, may not be worse than Kong Ming, and the other is that Kong Ming is young after all, and his reputation is small, and he missed Cao Cao's most embarrassing Yanzhou period.

Forget it, this young man should keep it at home. Kong Ming is not only a strategic wizard, but also a master of internal affairs, following himself, in the future, the world will be too peaceful to engage in politics, and he may not be more bent to him.

Turn around and think about Liu Bei again, if it is really as Zhuge Liang said, Liu Biao sent Liu Bei to Zhengyizhou, maybe that guy will really be like the dove occupying the magpie's nest in the original history. However: "Based on Kong Ming's view, who will the table send to lead the army west?" ”

Zhuge Liang said that I can't guess this. Liu Biao's ambition is to dominate Jingxiang, so Zhang Yi is not extinguished, he will definitely not send the main force into Shu, and Cai Mao, Huang Zu, Kuai Liang and other henchmen are unlikely to be generals. But Liu Bei is a sojourn after all, as far as I know, Liu Biao doesn't trust him, and it is unlikely that he will go west-

"Now the imperial court is divided into states and Jingxiang, and Liu Bei is the history of Yuanzhou's assassination, and it is clear that it is a discordant table and preparation. In this case, the watch must not be dispatched. ”

Yes Xun said that that's okay, as long as Liu Bei doesn't enter Shu, I guess if I change someone else, I may not be able to think of Kong Ming's strategy, at most I will help Zhao Wei defeat Liu Zhang. He knew that in the original history, Liu Biao did not send reinforcements, because of the tenacious defense of the Dongzhou soldiers, Zhao Wei failed to fight, and then his subordinates rebelled, Zhao Wei was killed, and the turmoil was quelled. If Liu Zhang has been allowed to occupy Yizhou, it will be much simpler and more convenient for my Cao family's forces to enter Sichuan in the future.

Although Guo Huai is not very interested in politics, he is still quite interested in strategic planning, and when Zhuge Liang and Shixun analyzed the situation in Yizhou, he listened while pulling a map next to him to repeatedly compare. At this moment, seeing that the discussion was nearing the end, he raised his own question: "Since the imperial court is divided into Jing, Yang, Yi, and You, why not Liangzhou?" ”

At this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty thirteen states, Cao Jiakong zhì seven of them, the remaining six, this time also gave four, Jiaozhou is too remote and it is just that, the remaining Liangzhou is not divided, why is this?

Shi Xun replied with a smile: "Lu Bu is fierce, not Sun and Liu can be compared, and Lu Bu is the pastor of Liangzhou, so that the horse and Han, this court has already had a clear edict, and there is no shortage of tribute." Now, if the state is divided into Liang, then Bu will be angry, and it will be unfavorable to the imperial court. ”

To put it bluntly, the purpose of dividing the state is to weaken the authority and influence of the local separatist forces, and at the same time to bury nails and let you fight among themselves, which will inevitably anger each other. Erliu and Sun Jia were angry, and they were powerless to threaten the imperial court for the time being, but Lu Bu was different, he wanted to be angry, maybe he would directly leave his horse, Han would cross the Yellow River to attack Bingzhou, or go south to fight Chang'an - that barbarian can do it completely. So at this time, Lu Bu must not be stimulated.

However, Shixun also soon got the news that Lü Bu's army was strong, and he defeated the Han and Ma coalition forces in Hanyang County. Han then fled to Jincheng, and Ma Teng had no place to go, so he actually passed Guò Yongzhou to assassinate Shi Yanxiang and submitted the surrender table to the imperial court. The imperial court then ordered Ma Jiajun to enter the customs, temporarily tun Huaili, Ma Chao, Pang De and others immediately led the army to break Liu Mingxiong, Lu He and others, and the pass was peaceful......
