At night, the tent is brightly lit.

On the coffee table, there was tea, Deng Yu sat on one side, and Liu Xiu sat on the other side.

Looking at the former junior brother, Liu Xiu was in a trance, but he still said: "Deng Yu, you shouldn't come!" ”

"But I'm here anyway!" Deng Yu said: "This time to Hebei, I want to follow you, there are many heroes in the world, but you can be called a hero, only you Liu Xiu!" ”

Liu Xiu was silent, when it comes to this, it is a bit hypocritical to talk about anything else.

"What strategy do you have for going to Hebei!" Liu Xiu asked.

"Where there is a strategy, it's nothing more than improvisation. It's done, I'll be a marquis, and you'll be the emperor; If you fail, you die, and I will be buried with you! Deng Yu said: "However, it's okay to say some big things!" ”

"The world is like a chess game, when it comes to the beginning, Guanzhong occupies the lead. At this moment, the first emperor occupies Guanzhong, the Heluo Basin, the north occupies the east of the river, and the back is against Xilong, if he can continue to occupy Bashu, he will definitely win the world. Fortunately, Gongsun Shu occupied Bashu, but he restrained Emperor Gengshi......"

"However, once the first emperor clears the interior, and occupies Bashu, the world is decided, even if the lord has the ability to reach the sky, he is powerless to return to the sky! Therefore, the lord goes to Hebei, the key is to be fast, to fight slowly, if the lord is in three years, pacify Hebei, you can compete with the first emperor for the world; If Hebei is pacified within five years, the odds of victory are not great, but there is still a slight chance; As for five years later, the overall situation of the world has been decided, and there is no longer a chance! ”

"The main public situation is too bad, at this moment, the heroes in the world are all divided by one side, and there are countless soldiers, but the lord is going to Hebei alone, with no soldiers and horses, no territory."

Competing for the world, all heroes are brilliant and strategic, the key is who takes the lead. As the so-called step by step, step by step, the final formation of rolling advantage.

At this point, Liu Xiu has already lost.

The first hand has already lost, so you can only speed up, move forward quickly, and go ahead quickly to catch up.

"That makes sense!" Liu Xiu nodded, and suddenly, he thought of Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, he was the third in the world and had occupied the second; But at that time, Liu Bei had less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, one Wenchen Zhuge Liang, and three or five generals. is not at the same level at all, even later, Zhuge Liang made suggestions, but the opportunity has been lost.

As the saying goes, Kong Ming got his master, but not the time.

Now Liu Xiu's timing is not good.

The only fortunate thing is that the first emperor is not Cao Cao.

The first emperor, the emperor, was not fought, but elected.

The elected emperor is often a small authority and will compete with the ministers for power and profit, which will cause instability in the court, if it is in the peaceful era, this is not a big problem; But now, when the world is undecided and the heroes are competing, there is constant civil strife, which is a big trouble.

"The land of Hebei, surrounded by mountains and seas, surrounded by mountains and seas on three sides, with plains in the south, and Yanshan Mountains in the north resisting the invasion of northern nomads, shielding the safety of Hebei and even the Central Plains. In the west is the Taihang Mountain, there are Taihang Eight Mountains, there are several rivers in the south of Hebei, from west to east, such as Juma River, Hutuo River, Zhangshui, etc., but the geographical advantage of defense, not as dangerous as the mountains and rivers. ”

"On the topography of Hebei, it is not as good as Guanzhong, and the east must guard the Taihang Bashan, lose a pass, and Hebei is in crisis; In the north, it is necessary to defend against the invasion of nomads, and also to garrison a large army for defense; As for the south, relying on a few rivers, the enemy cannot be stopped at all! ”

"The terrain of Hebei is destined to be conducive to attack and not conducive to defense!"

"In the north, a general should be sent to guard against the Huns and protect the safety of the back; then focus on sending troops to Hedong and occupy Hedong, so that Hebei has a sense of security; Next, we must attack Luoyang and enter Guanzhong. Take Guanzhong as a barrier to block the Xiongnu, Bashu, and Longshang; And in the east, attack Shandong, Xuzhou, Jianghuai, Nanyang, Jingzhou and other places! ”

"Defend the west and attack the east, first easy and then difficult, advance step by step, quick battle, don't want a big protracted war!"

Deng Yu stood up and said the strategic policy.

The essence of war is to be fast, to rise quickly, and to have the capital to compete with the enemy; Strike at the enemy quickly, not giving the enemy a chance to recuperate and stabilize the ground; Strike quickly and burn the flames of battle on the enemy's territory, without giving the enemy a chance to grow.

A secessionist regime that was only established for three months; A pattern regime that was established for seven years.

Obviously, the latter is more difficult to defeat.

Quickly destroying the enemy can cover up internal contradictions and cover up all kinds of shortcomings in oneself.

"My lord, if you take Hebei as the foundation, you will inevitably face a three-front battle, the situation will inevitably be in crisis, and if you can't solve it quickly, you will definitely be defeated!" Deng Yu finally admonished.

With Hebei as the foundation, it is really not a good place to fight the world.

In history, Yuan Shao, Dou Jiande, etc., all failed, and they should be taken as a warning.

Historically, Germany was very powerful, but in the face of a three-front battle in World War I, it was quickly dragged to death; During World War II, when the Normandy landings and the opening of the second battlefield, Germany fought on two fronts and held out for more than a year, but it was also defeated.

When fighting a war, it is better not to fight on two fronts and three fronts, but to concentrate forces and fight on the front line.

Guanzhong, which occupies the advantage of terrain, is often a front-line battle; and Hebei front-line operations; The terrain of Hebei is not good, and the luck is poor, and it often turns into a three-line battle.

The situation was a little bad, but I thought of Cao Cao again.

Historically, Cao Cao was an enemy on all sides, and his situation was worse than his, but it was still a three-point world. If it weren't for Cao Cao's poor temperament, he would have won a wave, and he would have lost the battle as soon as he waved; When you lose a battle, you are humble and you win a battle.

Often, there are many victories and very small defeats.

I can't say it, Cao Cao can dominate the world.

"Can't wave, can't wave!" Liu Xiu admonished himself: "Victory, no wave; Fail, don't be discouraged! ”

…………

Time passed, and the centaurs continued north.

There is no military power, no territory, and the power is extremely weak, so it can only be advertised.

At the suggestion of Deng Yu and Feng Yi, along the way, they continued to publicize policies, one was to publicize the imperial court policy, the second was to publicize the cultivators to have their fields, and the third was to publicize Liu Xiu's achievements.

There is no territory, no troops, so let's fool around!

Life lies in flickering, and maybe a certain family sees that he is good and makes a venture investment.

Along the way, all the way to publicity, all the way to flicker, Liu Xiu was very embarrassed, feeling that he was a pyramid schemer, flickering, and he didn't know that he was fooled to the ship.

It should be said that there were already two fools who were fooled by him to the boat, one was Feng Yi and the other was Deng Yu.

Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait!

So it is with the king, and how can it not be with the courtiers!

Deng Yu or Feng Yi, knowing that following him would lead to death, the future was bleak, failure was a normal rhythm, and success was accidental, but he still followed without hesitation.
