"Wu Chugai has righteousness, and Zhongye fruit has blood."

"Jun greets the envoy!"

In the eyes of everyone, Huo Jun walked into the hall, saluted and said: "The road is far away, Jun delays the trip, I hope you will forgive your sins!" ”

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Zhong Miao has traveled thousands of miles and worked hard, how can he be alone. ”

"Come on, sit down!"

Huo Jun took a seat and asked directly: "The responsibility for the rise and fall of the next day today is on the second duke, and now Yuzhou is fighting in Xiakou, how can Yangzhou hesitate here?" ”

"This~"

Liu Qi's face was embarrassed, he never thought that Huo Jun had just taken the position, so he asked himself.

Huo Jun looked around at the people in the hall and said with a smile: "The envoy and you are here to discuss matters, are you afraid of Cao Cao's troops?" ”

Coughing lightly, Liu Qi said honestly: "Cao Cao has hundreds of thousands of troops to the south, my brother has surrendered, Jingzhou has been captured by Cao Cao, and only the southeast corner of Wuyue remains. ”

Huo Jun shook his head and said: "What the envoy said is wrong, only the two counties of Jingbei are surrendered, the four counties of Jingnan are wavering, Lai Jiaozhou and Wu Cangwu have not surrendered to Cao, how can you say that there is only a corner of Wu Yue left?" ”

This is the cognitive bias that belongs to everyone, and this plane has already undergone a huge deflection from history.

In history, Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao as the orthodox heir of Liu Biao, not only Liu Bei recognized, but even the entire Jingzhou people recognized Liu Cong. Then Cao Cao went south to Jingnan and all the four counties surrendered, except for Wu Ju, who was in Cangwu, who did not surrender, basically voted for everything.

Now Liu Qi and Liu Cong have torn their faces because of the matter of seizing the heir. Cai Mao benefited from the identity of the Taishou of Nanjun and the Che Cavalry Division, and strengthened his control over Jiangling and Xiangfan. And the second Liu hurriedly attacked Jiangzuo, fought hard, and then strengthened his strength.

But except for Jingbei and Wuyue, it does not mean that there is no action in other regions. Liu Biao, who is good at political means, has already taken advantage of the influence of Erliu's attack on Jiangzuo to complete his action of deeply cultivating Jingnan and taking root in Jiaozhou.

For example, Liu Xian, who was too shou of Changsha and was originally the Taishou of Wuling, was transferred from Wuling to Changsha as Liu Biao's core confidant.

Changsha County, the richest of the four counties in Jingnan, is located around Dongting Lake and is one of the earliest areas developed by the Han People-Epitek, with a population of one million at its peak.

In the early years, although Liu Xian persuaded Liu Biao to return to Cao, it does not mean that he is a soft bone. After returning to Jing, he was transferred to Wuling Taishou, that is, Kejiangzuo, and then transferred to Changsha Taishou.

In addition to Liu Xian, Liu Biao also appointed Wuling Taishou Liu Rong, Lingling Taishou Liu Du, and Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan. These people are almost all people trusted by Liu Biao, otherwise they would not have been easily appointed as Jingnan Taishou.

This is also the reason why Liu Qi tried to win them over, but no one surrendered in advance. You are only a stab in Yangzhou, and you are not an important person in Jingzhou. They were ordered by Liu Biao to govern the county, and they were not favored or favored, so they were naturally not under the jurisdiction of Liu Qi.

Before Liu Biao died, he knew that Cai and Kuai were powerful in Xiangyang, so why did he forcibly declare Liu Qi as his heir in front of everyone, it was nothing more than telling the four counties of Jingnan, as well as Lai Gong and Wu Ju, who were far away in Jiaozhou, not to recognize the wrong heirs.

Liu Qi thought he was restricted, but in fact, he entered Baoshan and did not know the treasure. If Sun Quan is replaced by Liu Qi, it is estimated that Sun Quan has already made up his mind to fight, settle in Jiangxia, appease Jing, hand over the old department, and after defeating Cao Cao, go up the river to take Bashu, and rule with Cao Cao in the north and south.

As for Liu Bei's department, if Liu Qi had political means, it would be divided and collapsed, and Liu Bei would eventually have to become a part of Liu Qi's rule.

It's a pity that Liu Qi didn't realize that his father Liu Biao left him a rich political legacy, as well as a strong military legacy.

Liu Qi was awakened by Huo Jun's words and suddenly woke up. However, after a while, Liu Qichi asked: "Now that Cao Cao led his troops to Jianghan, will the people of Jingjiao surrender?" ”

Huo Jun smiled and said, "If you don't go to Xiakou, the people of Jingjiao will surrender; If the envoy goes to Xiakou to appease, when the war is not divided, even if the people of Jing Jiao do not return to the envoy, it will be difficult to serve Cao Cao. ”

This is the problem of reality, those people naturally submit to Liu Qi. But in unnatural circumstances, such as Cao Cao's army heading south, they are prone to hesitation. If you don't pull in, you will be co-opted by the other party.

Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 900,000 troops, and his troops were divided into two routes, near the north of the river, and entered the Jianghan. Epistles to the people, to fear their hearts. The princes were also panicked, and they did not distinguish between the number of their soldiers and horses, and they all persuaded the king to surrender, is it the way to go? ”

As he spoke, Huo Jun took out the letter from his heartfelt arms to show everyone, and said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the princes have disputed, the heroes have been divided, the Central Plains has withered, there is no one out of ten, and Cao Cao has 900,000 people? In terms of the stark view, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses did not even have those 200,000. ”

At the time of Guandu, Yuan Shao called 200,000 troops with 110,000 people, and Cao Cao only had 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers, and he won it. After the war, Cao Cao killed 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers, entered Hebei to get Yuan's soldiers and horses, and covered an army of 40,000 or 50,000, and the contract was only 100,000. ”

"That is, the expedition outside the Saiwai, the surrender of Wuhuan, the army is not more than 10,000 horses, and now under the Jianghan, only about 110,000. Cai Mao and Kuai Yue surrendered to Jingbei, and the soldiers were only 30,000 or 40,000. These 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers are the soldiers of Jing Chu, and their hearts return to Yangzhou, and Cao Cao dares to use them? ”

"Therefore, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are no more than 150,000 at most, and the sources of soldiers are mixed, it is difficult to resist them, and people's hearts are different, so there is no need to be afraid."

Huo Jun had already stood up, paced in the hall, and said: "Looking at the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Jianghuai, it is still a lie, but it is just the soldiers of Mount Tai. Sending a partial general out of the town and the soldiers under the tent of Nachang Feng is enough to resist it. ”

"Looking at our army, there are 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzuo, 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses in Jingnan, and nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou. Make Jun pacify Jingjiao County, Hejiang left soldiers and horses, there can be 100,000 people. With a crowd of 100,000, it is not as good as a crowd of 110,000? ”

As he spoke, Huo Jun raised his sword and glared at Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji and other Jiangzuo scholars, and said, "If you don't know about soldiers, how dare you discuss soldiers." Gently persuade the king to surrender, and danger the affairs of the state, do you know the guilt? ”

As far as the literati were concerned, they did not know anything about soldiers and horses, nor did they know much about military geography. It is not easy for Zhang Zhao to know the danger of the Yangtze River, don't expect them to say anything. Therefore, the best weapon to deal with them is to use the number of people to tell them that they are not false.

With Huo Jun's questioning, all the scholars lowered their heads one after another, silent.

Ignoring everyone, Huo Jun arched his hand and said: "Please make you enter the side hall, Jun Mi is a strategy to break Cao!" ”

"Good!"

With Zhuge Liang's foreshadowing, and a brief comparative analysis of the strength of Huo Jun's two sides, Liu Qi calmed down and said: "Zhong Miao entered the hall with solitude!" ”

After Liu Qi left, Wen Ping, Feng Xi and other generals started to talk around Huo Jun.

Wen Ping stood across the sword, arched his hand and said: "Cao Cao is rampant in the world, the group of gangsters is eliminated, the soldiers are in the Jianghan Dynasty, and the sea is threatened." Now only Wu Chu does not accept, Wangbei Mansion is strategic, breaking the thief in Jianghan, and recovering the great cause of the ancestors. ”

Huo Jun replied with a salute in return and said, "Please rest assured, the first monarch has opened for the second time, how can Cao Cao take it." Cao Cao went to my Chu land, and if he didn't know the geography of Chu, he would be defeated by our army. Now the war is about to start, you can quickly return to the camp to prepare for the war, and wait for Yangzhou's order. ”

"No!"

After speaking, Huo Jun walked into the side hall, and exchanged glances with Zhuge Liang in the middle of the road, so that Zhuge Liang could get ready.

In the side hall, Liu Qi had ordered someone to set up tea for Huo Jun.

Liu Qi sat on the couch and asked with a gentle expression, "What is Zhong Miao's strategy to break Cao?" ”

Huo Jun knelt down on Liu Qi and said: "Now the two soldiers have not fought, it is difficult to explain the method of breaking Cao in detail. However, the two countries did not fight, but there was a temple calculation army to present. ”

Liu Qi served tea to Huo Jun, raised his hand and said, "Please speak!" ”

"No!"

Huo Jun put the teacup on the table and said, "Jing Chu, the first monarch owns, so that the monarch is orthodox." Thanks to the old virtues of the ancestors, the hearts of the people are multi-oriented. And Cao Cao is tyrannical, has no virtue in politics, and it is difficult to attach, which makes the king's victory over Cao Cao; Although Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were numerous, there were many saddle horses, and they gave up boats to meet the head of our army, and competed with Wu and Chu, which was the second victory of our army over Cao Cao. ”

"The land of Jianghan, the hometown where my Chu general lives, Cao Cao raised troops into it, and he didn't know the geography of mountains and rivers, and our army defeated Cao Cao three times; And in the cold winter, Jiangling's baggage was burned, Cao Cao was far away from Middle Earth, the horses had no grass, the soldiers had no food, and the soldiers were transported thousands of miles, and our army won four victories over Cao Cao. ”

"And Wuchu water town, there are many epidemics, the northerners do not know the water and soil, and they live in the mud, there will be a plague, this our army has five victories over Cao Cao; Cao Cao from the expedition to Yuan Shao, no year no levy, no year no war, the general is tired, the sergeant is slack, our army to wait for work, drive water as a soldier, this our army six victories Cao Cao. ”

Huo Jun straightened his back and talked eloquently, showing a calm look.

"So that the monarch succeeded the previous king's grace, Yuzhou was ordered by the Son of Heaven, the two dukes were one, Wu Chu's soldiers were sent, the boat was driven as a horse, and the Cao thief was leveled, and the harm was eliminated for the Han family. With these six victories, Cao Cao's march is to go to the river to send him to death! ”

"I hope you don't doubt it!"

Don't look at the second Liu Jiangdong not long ago, the foundation is not strong, and it is easy to be shaken by Cao Cao. But on the other hand, Jingchu, thanks to Liu Biao, Liu Qi's roots in Jingchu are much deeper.

Liu Qi's confidence was boosted and he asked: "Cao Cao can be broken on the water, but how can he be broken when he goes ashore?" ”

Huo Jun pondered a little and said: "Yuzhou is especially good at land warfare, and his soldiers and horses are excellent, and he has fought with Cao Cao many times. Therefore, at the time of the land war, the soldiers and horses under the account of Lai Jun and Yuzhou. ”

"And how to arrange Jiangbei and Jingnan, Zhong Miao has a strategy?" Liu Qi asked.

"Envoy the king to Yuzhang and send an envoy to Jingnan to appease all Jingjiao county guards and ask them to ask for troops and food." Huo Jun said: "As for Jiangbei, if you let Zhuge Junshi and Mi Zifang lead the Wu generals to attach to the Wu people at the beginning, and send 6,000 old and weak people to the mouth of the water." There are also thousands of soldiers and horses under the Changfeng tent, and more than 10,000 people are contracted, which can ensure the stability of Jiangbei. ”

Saying that, Huo Jun surrendered his hand and asked for his life, and said: "Jun invites 40,000 Jiangdong soldiers to Xiakou, 20,000 people from Jiangxia, and 60,000 victorious soldiers to fight Cao Cao, in order to make the king break Cao!" ”

Liu Qi decisively agreed, laughed and said: "Since Zhongmiao Temple is in his hands, there is hope of defeating Cao Cao, how can Qi not allow it!" ”

"Thank you for your love!"

Liu Qi helped Huo Jun up, and said thoughtfully: "Zhong Miao has a military strategy, so he should be able to know the situation after this battle. The ancestor has passed away, and Qi is afraid that Yuzhou has the heart to seek Jing Chu. What does Zhong Miao think? ”

ps: My eyes hurt at night, and it's gone for the time being. Tomorrow's three watches!
