Suo Hong's words made Yao Yu deeply agree.

The geographical location of Xiangyang City is the top priority.

Especially in the case of the division of the North and the South, there are only three ways for the northern regime to eliminate the southern regime.

Among them, the East Road is to cross the Yangtze River and approach Jiankang, or to cross the Taihang Mountain from the Middle Road, break through the Nanyang Basin, and enter the Yangtze River along the Han River.

There is also the West Road from Hanzhong into Shu, from the Yangtze River downstream downstream.

But the problem is that two of these three routes can't avoid Xiangyang City.

The east road does not care about Xiangyang City, but after the development of Sun Wu in the previous dynasty, this place has already become the economic center of the south, and it is difficult to break through the Yangtze River under the premise of lacking a strong naval army.

If a battle breaks out on the front, it is easy to overturn.

The best choice is the West Road and the Middle Road.

At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, Yizhou Thorn Shi Longxiang General and Junwu Marquis Wang Jun supervised the construction of building boats, went down the river, broke through from the west road to the stone city, and forced Sun Hao, the emperor of Sun Wu in Jiankang City, to surrender.

The so-called Wang Junlou ship went down to Yizhou, and the king of Jinling was gloomy. is talking about this battle of Jin and Wu.

In this battle, it was because Wu did not master Xiangyang that Wang Jun was able to go down the river without any obstacles.

If Xiangyang is in hand, I am afraid that the struggle between the two dynasties will not be able to distinguish between the high and low for another 20 years.

It's a bit far away, in short, Xiangyang City's status in the north-south confrontation stage can be called the number one.

It is indeed suitable for use as a base area.

No, after thinking about it, Yao Yu asked Suo Hong again: "What about Jiankang?"

"Jiankang is the capital of the former dynasty, so you don't have to worry about either the city defense or the surrounding economy. It is the most suitable place to be a base area. It's just that with the attitude of generals and soldiers towards the scholars, if they become the masters of Jiankang, they will have to spend time in the internal struggle with the scholars for a long time, and they will have no time to take care of the north."

Speaking of this, Suo Hong deliberately glanced at Yao Yu.

Yao Yu couldn't help but blush, too, in the Sanwu region, don't talk about yourself, in history, even heroes like the little overlord Sun Ce were assassinated.

After passing with his own attitude, he didn't have to fight against the scholars for a long time to come.

In this way, the only one suitable for himself as a base is Xiangyang.

Moreover, Xiangyang is located in Jingzhou, which can be regarded as half of his hometown.

It seems that this is the only place that is most suitable for you. Not to mention anything else, after controlling Xiangyang, and then going south to recover Jiangling, after mastering the two important towns of Jingzhou, in the north, you can chase the Central Plains, to the east, you can try to swallow up the Sanwu region, and to the west, you can also try to encroach on Yizhou. As long as Yizhou and Yangzhou are taken, and the southern strength is unified and integrated, it is not undesirable to go north to the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, Yao Yu's mentality inevitably changed.

In the past, he thought about fighting in the north to see who would have the last laugh.

After all, in the history I know, after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, it was followed by the Nandu of Yiguan.

Sima Rui, the king of Langya, under the operation of Wang Dun Wang Dao, the leader of the northern scholar clan, proclaimed himself emperor in Jiankang and sat firmly in the south.

It was precisely because of this idea that Yao Yu never hit the idea to the south at all.

It's not because he's afraid of grabbing King Langya's territory and affecting the progress of history.

The main reason is that he used to just think that there was already a lord in the south, and his past was useless.

Looking at it now, the three emperors of Sima Zhen, Sima Chi, and Sima Ye are not dead yet.

Even, Sima Zhen is still in power now, and it is not Sima Chi and Sima Ye's turn.

If they don't die, how can Sima Rui travel south in clothes and be the emperor in the south.

It can be said that although the south did not experience war at this time, due to the chaos in the north, the south was equivalent to a huge piece of fat waiting to be tasted.

If you take down the south at this time, you will fight for me when you get to the north

When the head is broken and the blood flows, it is more worry-free and labor-saving to integrate the elite and reap the benefits of the Northern Expedition?

Thinking of this, Yao Yu's heart was extremely clear.

Yes, that's it.

Thinking in his heart, Yao Yu made a plan.

Now, the king of the East China Sea controls the imperial court, if nothing else, in September this year, the king of the East China Sea will poison the son of heaven Sima Zhen and support Sima Zhen's younger brother Sima Chi to ascend to the throne.

Four years later, Sima Chi secretly ordered the king of the East China Sea to get rid of him, and although he failed, it also caused the king of the East China Sea to be frightened and seriously ill, and then died.

Then, the coffin of the king of the East China Sea and the army of 100,000 were surrounded and suppressed by King Shile Mi in Ningping, and since then, the north has lost all its military and military strength. In the same year, Sima Chi was sent by Liu Cong, the emperor of Han Zhao, to break through Luoyang City and became a prisoner.

It was also the year that Sima Chi was captured, and Sima Rui crossed south in his clothes and became the master of Jiankang.

In this way, there is still a long time left for yourself.

Four years, not to mention the unification of the south, at least, it is not a problem to stabilize Jingzhou.

In this troubled world, mastering a state means having the capital to compete for the world.

Thinking of this, Yao Yule was happy.

I was confused before, always thinking about how to stop the chaos from happening, and always thinking about how to protect myself after the incident.

Looking at it now, I don't have to think about these at all, let them mess up, my own strength, the most important thing is to avoid the strong and attack the weak, and winning the south is the king.

Just imagine, the north is still fighting in chaos, and he has integrated all the strength of the south, and he is afraid that he will not be able to sweep away the north?

Thinking like this, Yao Yu nodded with satisfaction, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Everyone at the scene was a little puzzled, and they didn't understand what Yao Yu was laughing at suddenly.

No, the schedule couldn't help but ask.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Yao Yu shook his head: "No, it's nothing, I just think my thoughts before were a bit of a bull's head." Just like Mr. Suo Hong said, we can use Xiangyang as a base. And then compete for the world. As for gaining a foothold in the North. That's not going to be considered for now."

The class schedule is endless.

No, how harmful was it to mess with yourself before, isn't it you, the lord?

As if he could see what the class table was thinking, Yao Yu smiled again: "Don't worry, although we have shifted our focus to the south, it doesn't mean that I have given up on the north. From now on, you will be able to gather as many refugees as possible. When the time comes, when we are all in Xiangyang, these people will be our roots."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all ask.

Is it possible that you are going to Xiangyang now?

Yao Yu shook his head: "Of course it's not now, we have just experienced a big war, how can we have the ability to eat Xiangyang." For the sake of today, it is better to grasp the cultivation as well."
