Wei Ba admired Liao Li's words so much, although he was not as optimistic as Guan Feng and them, he didn't expect the problem to be so serious. After such a big victory, it is unrealistic to say that there is no pride and complacency at all. It's natural for young people to be a little proud. However, after all, he is a two-life man and knows the difficulties of starting a business. Don't say that he hasn't succeeded yet, even if he does, once he is careless, the possibility of capsizing in the gutter can still be seen at any time.

He asked Liao Li for advice, so what should we do to break out of the encirclement and open up the situation?

Liao Li gave him a suggestion.

After you occupy Wuling, the Wu people will definitely worry that you will continue to encroach on other places, and you will inevitably be surrounded on all sides. With Yidu County to the north and Changsha County and Lingling County to the east, Sun Quan will arrange elite soldiers here to prevent your further expansion. For now, don't look at your big victory, the Wu army has suffered heavy losses, but the Wu army is still more numerous than you. Of course, these barbarians are elusive in the mountains, once they are out of the mountains, they are a group of rabble, not the opponents of the Wu army at all, if you attack Yidu, Changsha, and Lingling, you will definitely have a blue nose and swollen eyes. As long as you lose a battle, you, the god, will fall to the dust and be nothing.

You can't touch any of these places, so what should you do? Of course, it is to provoke the infiltration of progress in places where the Wu army is not well controlled. Where did Wu Jun fail to control? Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou is in Lingnan, and before Shi Xie's death, Jiaozhou has always been the world of the Shi family. After Shi Xie's death, Sun Quan dared to really make a move against Jiaozhou and tried to bring Jiaozhou into his jurisdiction. Sun Quan weishenme will be so concerned about Jiaozhou? The reasons are complex. But one of them is very clear, although Jiaozhou cannot be compared with the rich Central Plains, but since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been spreading, and Jiaozhou is one of the few states that has not been destroyed. On the contrary, because a large number of Central Plains people fled to Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou developed very quickly. Wu also implemented a unique system of food and military support, and Sun Quan had limited direct control, and Jiaozhou was one of them. Taking Jiaozhou can not only highlight the encirclement. You can also snatch Sun Quan's small treasury. Weaken opponents.

Competing for Jiaozhou can play a role in harming others and benefiting oneself, which is where the temptation lies. From another point of view, it is also relatively easy to seize Jiaozhou. First, Lu Dai conquered Jiaozhou. The killings were heavy. Jiaozhou people still have feelings for the Shi family. Naturally, I don't have a good impression of Wu people. Second, Lu Dai had just been killed in battle, and only three or four thousand of his 10,000 troops had escaped, and these people alone could not control Jiaozhou, which had just been conquered. What's more, we also have Zhu Wu who has a direct relationship with the Shi family here. He will definitely be more than willing to help us get in touch with Shang Shi Kuang.

Liao Lizuihou said that the prime minister is a very practical person, if you can take Jiaozhou, even if the prime minister has a big opinion on you, he must consider the role of Jiaozhou in the Northern Expedition. Don't forget, business is the way to make money in Yizhou, and Jiaozhou is an indispensable part of Yizhou's trade routes. If you control Jiaozhou, you control the prime minister's money bag, can he still throw you away like waste?

Wei Ba sighed with emotion, Liu Bei couldn't fight, but he had a very unique vision of using people, and this madman was so crazy that he had confidence.

Liao Li pointed out the direction, and the two discussed it and quickly drew up a plan. Liao Li went to Chenyang and talked nonsense to Zhuge Jin sent by Sun Quan, anyway, Pan Jun and these people are still locked up in the canyon, and the initiative is in the hands of Wei Ba, so they can talk about it as much as they want, and they can't afford it so much that the Wu people can't bear it, maybe they can get a little more benefits. Wei Ba was responsible for preparing for the military operation against Jiaozhou, and military training was one thing, and understanding the customs and geography of Jiaozhou was the most important thing.

To inquire about this, Zhu Wu and those under him were of course one of the most haode targets. But that's just the way. These people are all martial artists with more than a few big characters, and they are of course very familiar with their own one-third of an acre, but they are not very familiar with the situation in the entire Jiaozhou. Including those Wu soldiers who followed Lu Dai to fight in Jiaozhou, the situation they knew was relatively trivial.

However, Wei Ba got a message from the mouths of those captives: Lü Dai collected a lot of information about Jiaozhou. Wei Ba didn't see these in Lu Dai's relics, and he estimated that Lu Dai probably gave these things to Lu Kai.

As a result, the Xiongxi tribe, which was still outside the golden light of the god general, once again entered Wei Ba's field of vision. More than 5,000 people of the Xiongxi tribe, under the leadership of Huaigen, retreated to Xiongxi with Lu Kai, and may have retreated into Yulin, if you want to get those information, you must capture Lu Kai and Huaigen.

Wei Ba found Xiangfu and Zhu Wu.

"Your Excellency, are you looking for us?" Xiangfu and Zhu Wu came to the bottom of the rock side by side, looked up at Wei Ba, and asked respectfully.

"Well, there are some things that I need to discuss with the two of you." Wei Ba smiled slightly, beckoned, and turned around and walked into the cave. Xiangfu and Zhu Wu hurriedly followed. As soon as he entered the cave, Guan Feng, who was directing a group of barbarian girls to be busy arranging, gave a look, and a barbarian brought some tea and snacks, and then retreated together, leaving Wei Ba and the three of them.

"My lord, are you preparing for the New Year?" Xiangfu looked at the newly dressed cave and said with a smile: "Or are you going to get married here?" ”

"Ah, it's Chinese New Year's Eve in two days, everyone has worked hard recently, and I'm ready to get together when the time comes." Wei Ba said with a smile: "My brother got married, I couldn't rush back, my brother was reluctant to me, and sent someone to bring me some wedding wine, and I just drank it with you when the time came." ”

"Really?" Xiangfu said excitedly: "That's great." However, this wine cannot be drunk in vain, we must make some gains, and we must not lose the face of adults. ”

Zhu Wu also smiled: "That's right. There is no such thing as drinking this wine in vain, it must mean something. ”

Wei Ba blinked and smiled, "Do you really want to mean it?" ”

"Of course." Xiangfu patted his chest and smiled: "As long as I can take it, you can just open your mouth." ”

"Then I'll speak."

"Although the adults open their mouths, the husband will say nothing, and he will let the divine dog bite him to death when he turns around."

"Well, it's not that serious." Wei Ba smiled and invited them to take a seat, spread out the map on the case, and said lightly: "I want Hepu Zhu, Hepu Zhu with a diameter of more than one inch, the more the merrier." ”

The husband was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "My lord, do you want to take Hepu?" ”

Wei Ba shook his head, puzzled. Wei Ba immediately drew a circle on the map: "I want to take the entire Jiaozhou." ”

Xiangfu and Zhu Wu glanced at each other and were surprised.

"What, there's a problem?" Wei Ba asked calmly, with no nervousness on his face, as if taking Jiaozhou was a matter of being captured.

The two were silent for a moment, but the husband spoke first. "When the adults go out, they are naturally handy. However, Jiaozhou has a vast territory, many dangers, and many barbarians, who do not obey each other. If you conquer them one by one, I am afraid that it will be protracted and you will not get enough money. ”

Wei Ba didn't say anything and turned to Zhu Wu. Zhu Wu licked his lips and said a little nervously: "If the adults want to conquer Jiaozhou, we naturally can't ask for it, and I think my master will also support it." However, as Xiangfu Jingfu said, Jiaozhou is vast, and there are no less than thousands of barbarian races, which is extremely difficult to conquer. Four or five hundred years since Qin Shi Huang opened the border, he has not yet seen full success. My lord, as soon as the battle starts, it is difficult to clean up, so please think twice. ”

Wei Ba bowed slightly, smiled faintly, and there was no frustration or unhappiness on his face. He motioned for the husband and wife to be calm, and slowly rubbed his fingers on the map. He knew what Xiangfu and Zhu Wu were worried about, Xiangfu was worried that the war would be too long and the losses would be too great, which would damage their strength, but the gains were very limited, that is, the gains outweighed the losses. Of course, Zhu Wu wanted to restore the status of the Shi family in Jiaozhou, but he was even more worried that Wei Ba was just using the Shi family and using the Shi family as a sword, but the Zuihou Shi family would not be able to get anything.

In the final analysis, they are all worried about the damage to their strength and the lack of benefits.

"I am very aware of your worries. As I said, it is simply impossible to conquer Jiaozhou in a short period of time, and I am not so arrogant. Wei Ba opened his mouth unhurriedly: "However, everything must be done from the big picture and start small." We can't just look at a few valleys here, we should look a little further, don't you say? Didn't you want to go to Chengdu and go to Luoyang to be an official? ”

"To Luoyang?" Xiangfu and Zhu Wu looked at each other, a little confused. In their minds, the concept of where to go to Luoyang. Even if it was a taxi family that once dominated Jiaozhou, how many of them had been to Luoyang? Although Xiangfu used to be Xiongxi Jingfu, Luoyang is still too far away from his Shijie.

"Attacking Jiaozhou, in the final analysis, is still for the sake of attacking Wu." Wei Ba continued: "Of course, I took Jiaozhou, not to squeeze Jiaozhou's money, but to unite all ethnic groups in Jiaozhou and drive the Wu people out. The barbarians of the world are one family, and I believe that as long as I treat each other with sincerity, just as I can be with the two of you now, I can also be my own with other tribes. ”

Wei Ba looked at Xiangfu and Zhu Wu, and said sincerely: "I want you to believe that I am not a demon who brings killing, but a god general who can bring you happiness and civilization. ”

Xiangfu and Zhu Wu nodded silently, but still didn't speak. They are not ordinary barbarians, they value practical benefits more than miracles.

"Jingfu, listen to his words and watch his deeds. Jiaozhou will let go in advance, and we will solve the affairs of the Xiongxi tribe first. Wei Ba waved his hand and called Xiangfu and Zhu Wu back from silence. As soon as he heard about the Xiongxi tribe, Xiangfu suddenly became energetic, and his eyes lit up. He is now lacking in strength, and he has no status under Wei Ba's subordinates, so he wants to recapture the tribe and regain his strength. "The purpose of taking Jiaozhou is to attack Wu, and if you want to take Jiaozhou, you must first recapture Xiongxi. Meals should be eaten in one bite, and things should be done one by one. You say don't you? ”

Xiangfu nodded again and again: "My lord, how are you going to recapture Xiongxi?" ”

"Of course, it's salute first and then soldiers, a dignified formation." Wei Ba said: "The Xiongxi tribe is your tribe, except for Huaigen and other culprits, none of the descendants of the ancestor should die in vain, let alone commit suicide." You say, don't you? ”

The husband was relieved. "The adult is really a benevolent person, and the Han people say that the benevolent person is invincible, and it should be a benevolent person like an adult." (To be continued......)
