Chapter 642: Ask Zhang Xiu
Looking at Zhang Xiu's surprised appearance, the corners of Jia Nian's mouth flashed with a smile.
"I saw the general's return from the castle tower today, so I came to inquire before"
"The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is a major matter, how about the lord go to the lobby to talk about it?"
"Whatever the guest wants"
Jia Nian replied and followed Zhang Xiu and walked in the direction of the lobby.
Walking quickly in the lobby, they took their seats, and then a maid turned around to leave with tea. After the door was closed, Zhang Xiu and Jia Nian spoke slowly.
"Now I Yangzhou does not count overseas soldiers and horses, there are 100,000 people, and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is at this time. It's just that the world has changed greatly, should we hold off for a while, and wait for the soldiers to get used to their own strength before going to the Northern Expedition?"
"This?"
Jia Nian fell into thought.
Just heard that he intended to go on a northern expedition, and Zhang Xiu's fighting spirit was great. I thought I would immediately ask for my life to go north, but I didn't want to let people slow down. Maybe that's the difference between generals and commanders, they think about things more comprehensively.
"Not long ago, the end of the year will understand his fate in order to break his own shackles, and at the same time, he has also seen a lot of capable people. Why didn't the lord take advantage of the great changes in the world to recruit talents? Although fate has changed, it is also a reference."
"That's what I mean"
Jia Nian replied.
Zhang Xiu only clicked on this question, and then returned to the topic and analyzed the current situation in detail to Jia Nian. It's just that because he is a general, the angle he stands on is inevitably more purely military.
"A year ago, the lord and Liu Jingzhou sent troops to attack Yuan Shu, and collected Lujiang, Jiujiang and other places. It also happened that the sneak attack on Xuzhou was sniped by Guo Dudu, not only did he return in vain, but he lost Guangling County."
"In terms of morale, the morale of our army is high. After another year of reorganization, the voices of all the soldiers seeking war were endless. Whether it is from the point of view of the strength of the army or the hearts of the people, it is the time of the Northern Expedition."
"It's just that the situation in the Central Plains is complicated, with Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and Yellow Turban in Qingzhou. Judging from the strength and morale alone, it is not difficult for me Yangzhou to take one of the states."
"Although analyzing the current situation is not the last general's strength, it is also a bit foolish"
Zhang Xiu paused here when he said this, obviously during the period of guarding Guangling County, he had a lot of thoughts about the Central Plains. Otherwise, I can't say it, this tirade.
Although Yuzhou was defeated, its strength was not damaged, and he ordered Sun Ce's troops to march into Guanzhong in a big way. Pohan Valley occupies Hongnong and Luoyang, and the soldiers are in Chang'an, holding the tiger prison, Weizhenyong, and Liang Prefectures. Its strength does not fall but rises, and only with the strength of my Yangzhou, this battle is only afraid of protracted"
"As for Yanzhou and my Yangzhou, it is better to go north to Qingzhou through Xuzhou"
"Although the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is huge, my Yangzhou soldiers have enough food, and if they can fight, they will definitely be able to take it down. At that time, once the armistice agreement between Yangzhou and Xuzhou expired, Xuzhou was surrounded by enemies. The lord raised troops from Shouchun to deter Yuzhou, and the soldiers and horses of Guangling County went north, and the general of Rang Yi went south from Qingzhou. Can Xuzhou survive for a long time? At that time, half of the Central Plains was in hand, and Yangzhou was the rear, and Jingzhou was the wing. You can make an appointment with Yanzhou, and the three parties will raise troops to destroy Yuzhou"
"In this way, the momentum of the Central Plains will be determined"
A glimmer of light appeared in Zhang Xiu's eyes, and the armistice agreement was in hand, and Xuzhou would definitely take advantage of it. If you don't follow, you can take Xuzhou to open the knife, at that time the righteousness is in hand, and it is more appropriate to fight steadily.
It's just that with the wisdom of Xuzhou, you will see the pros and cons, and it shouldn't be difficult to borrow the way. Although there are some regrets in my heart, it is also a good thing to use Qingzhou as a breakthrough.
Looking at Zhang Xiu, who was full of fighting spirit, Jia Nian fell into thought again.
"Qingzhou"
Fingers tapped twice on the desk, and the topography of the Central Plains came to mind. If you don't take into account other factors, this strategy is generally fine.
Is Cao Cao a fuel-efficient lamp? Whether it is Emperor Wei Wu in history or the current demon lord Cao Cao, he will not let himself develop and grow. Moreover, he also had a glimpse of fate, and this covenant was not enough to justify him turning a blind eye.
What's more, there is also Yuan Shao in his north, and with his wise and martial posture at this time, he may not be able to strike first. Together with Cao Cao's troops, he sent troops to capture Qingzhou.
After all, Qingzhou was Yuan Shao's sphere of influence in fate, and he had no reason to give up at this time.
But after thinking about it, these people have a glimpse of fate, what kind of choice will Cao Cao and Yuan Shao make when they see the scene of the battle of Guandu? Will they still be mutually supportive allies?
Another example is Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, after seeing the emperor, will Sun Ce's self-reliance maintain the current relationship? Will he cut off the grain that is being shipped to Guanzhong? What kind of counterattack will those losers in fate?
Perhaps the impact of the great changes in the Changhe Copy World will be beyond my cognition and imagination, in addition to the more natural changes in strength, there is also an undercurrent from the human heart.
It can even change the current situation, affecting everyone at an incredible rate.
Standing in their place in a different position, the strings in their hearts have already jumped to the extreme. It is important to know that the losers in history are now in power and have great power.
is like Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, at this time, Yuan Shu is still the mainstay.
Similarly, the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is also dominated by Yuan Shao. Historically, the two sides jointly sent troops to Qingzhou, but Qingzhou was owned by Yuan Shao, which is the best proof.
What kind of choice they will make has to be pondered.
However, it is undeniable that these decisions will cause earth-shaking changes to the current situation. If they act rashly and move north, they may completely tear off that string and be regarded as the object of their anger.
At that time, it was a good thing to stage the princes to ask for Jia.
It seems that he was a little inconsiderate just now, so he rashly said about the Northern Expedition. You should first familiarize yourself with your own strength, and then wait for the situation to change.
Countless thoughts crossed his heart, and Jia Nian was silent.
The atmosphere seemed a little depressing, Zhang Xiu asked.
"Is there something wrong with the words of the last general? Please also ask the Lord to make it clear"
That's a good statement, but it's still on hold for now. As Fang Cai said, the soldiers should be allowed to adapt to their own changes first, and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains needs to be considered in the long run."
Jia Nian replied, and then his heart moved slightly.
Diverted the topic from Zhang Xiu.
"The great changes in the world have blessed all beings, and I don't know what kind of divine position the general has obtained"
"An Unknown Beast General"
"How's the strength? Can you show one or two? ”
"Since the lord has this Yaxing, he will obey it in the end. It's just that you can't do it here, so why don't you go to the woods? ”
"Okay, let's go to the woods and have a look according to the general's words"
Jia Nian said to Zhang Xiu, with an expectant look in his eyes.
The Changhe copy world has undergone great changes, and I don't know what level Zhang Xiu's strength has reached. After watching, the strength of the vast majority of people can be launched. This is good for understanding the strength of one's own forces.
Then he got up and followed Zhang Xiu out, hurrying in the direction of the woods.
