Chapter 17: Tongue War (1)

Zhang Zhao, who was wearing a high hat on Zhao Yi's side, was a little dazed, but what the other party said was the truth, just said that it was the same as ordinary people such as me, and Zhao Yiming secretly raised Zhang Zhao, in fact, he was also raising himself, this young man has something.

Zhang Zhao straightened his beard with satisfaction, and continued: "Let's not talk about flattery, the old man heard that he compared himself to Zhong Leyi when he was in Longzhong before, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Yi faced the other party's question, did not hesitate at all, and replied as if he had rehearsed it in advance: "This is indeed the case, and Liang is just telling the truth." ”

"What an arrogant offspring, hum!"

Zhang Zhao snorted in his heart and continued to ask: "Then Liu Bei invited you out of the mountain three times in Longzhong, thinking that with the legendary Wolong, you can settle the world and be like a fish in water, but who knows that Jingzhou is in the hands of Cao Cao, you Wolong has lost the safe place of your lord, but how can you be embarrassed to come to our Eastern Wu to start a war with Cao Cao?" ”

Zhao Yi shook the feather fan again, and said with a smile: "Zhang Gong asked this question well, in fact, it is easy for my lord Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou, but who is he?" That is after the king of Zhongshan and Jin, he is an imperial uncle who loves the people like a son, and even when he withdraws his troops, he has to take the people with him, and he is unwilling to live by himself.

And my lord can't bear Liu Biao's descendants to fight in the same room, so Cao Cao picked up a cheap, but now my lord Jiang Xia has other grand plans, of course, this kind of level related to the safety of the country's major events, the idle people do not have that vision, but I believe that Zhang Gong will be able to see it, otherwise he will not be orphaned by the little overlord on his deathbed. ”

Zhang Zhao coughed twice, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea, and said: "Even so, the old man wants to ask, since Mr. compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, then Guan Zhong helps Qi Henggong dominate the princes, and Le Yi even supports the weak Yan, and even more than 70 cities under Qi, these two are amazing talents."

As for the sir...... Living in the grass for a long time, since he followed Liu Yuzhou, he should learn from Guan Zhong and Le Yi, destroy the thieves for his master, promote the interests and harms, and help him prosper, but the fact is just the opposite, Liu Yuzhou was able to divide the city before he was assisted by Mr., and was a strong party, but after Mr. Cao, he neither revived the Han family, nor saved the people, Cao Cao's army was beaten as soon as he arrived, and he abandoned his armor, first abandoned Xinye, and then went to Fancheng to defeat Dangyang, and finally ended up in Xiakou, almost no place to stay.

I really don't know if it was good or bad for Liu Yuzhou to invite Mr. De out of the mountain at that time? If the old man sees Liu Yuzhou, he really wants to ask him if he regrets asking Mr. to assist, of course, the old man has always spoken directly, not to the person, Mr. Wolong, don't blame, don't blame. ”

Zhang Zhao, the old man, is really bad, although he seems to be apologizing to Zhao Yi in the end, but in fact, his words are mean, aggressive, and even a bit of personal attack.

It's just that Zhao Yi doesn't have any other emotions on his face, and he is still light, which makes people confused.

"Hehehe~ Zhang Gong was surprised by this, as the so-called Dapeng rode the wind one day and soared up to 90,000 miles, which is comparable to ordinary birds? This is like a patient with rotten sores, if the doctor wants to treat, he must first dig out the sore, clean it, and then apply medicine to the patient, and wait until the patient's body is almost recovered, and the dietary therapy can be cured step by step, if you come up to give a strong medicine, it will inevitably cause irreparable damage to the patient's body.

This is like the current situation of my lord Liu Yuzhou, Zhang Gong can know that my lord has less than 1,000 troops when he defected to Liu Biao, and his generals are only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun.

As for Xinye, the place is remote, sparsely populated, and the grain output is also pitiful, no matter where you look at it, it is just a temporary place to live, how can it belong here for a long time? However, after that, I worked together with my lord to burn Bowangpo, and the people of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren who were killed were terrified, I think in terms of using soldiers, even if Guan Zhong and Le Yi are still alive, Liang should not let them out.

As for Jingzhou, Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao behind my lord's back, abandoning his father's inheritance and ignoring it, but my lord was kind-hearted and unwilling to take advantage of the chaos to seize the foundation of the same sect, which led to the defeat of the Dangyang army and retreated to Xiakou, but Zhang Gong should have also heard that when my lord retreated, there were 100,000 people who helped the old and the young to accompany him, why is this? Just because of the great benevolence and righteousness of my lord, and because my lord loves the people like a son, he can't bear to abandon it, and although he has traveled nearly ten miles a day, he still gives up his plan to march into Gangneung.

Recalling that year, Gaozu was repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu, and the next battle was decided by the Jiangshan Sheji, and he thought that he and my lord Liu Yuzhou were both people who did practical things, not some people who only knew how to talk and sit and talk about the Tao, after all, the country's plans were made, not said with one mouth. ”

Zhao Yi held a folding fan and talked eloquently, his demeanor was calm, his tone was sonorous, only his voice echoed back and forth in the entire hall, Zhang Zhao's successive attacks were resolved by him one by one, and even cut the belt to fight the general army.

In the corner of the main hall, behind a screen, Sun Shangxiang's eyes flashed, looking at Zhao Yi standing in the crowd and muttering: "Stinky thief, there is still this side, Uncle Changshi was speechless by him." ”

Behind Sun Shangxiang, Ling Tong also touched his chin that only grew some stubble, and muttered: "I do have some skills, although I don't understand what he is saying, but it feels so reasonable, Zhang Changshi is too, I'm afraid that Cao will operate it?" We Jiangdong are familiar with water warfare, good soldiers and generals, and now there is Liu Bei allied with us, why can't we defeat Cao? Shouting to surrender before the battle was fought was too demoralizing. ”

Sun Shangxiang didn't answer Lingtong's words, but bit his lip lightly, and all his attention was on Zhao Yi, oh no, on the body of the lewd thief Zhuge Kongming.

Under the repeated confrontation between Zhao Yi and Zhang Zhao, the latter coughed a few more times, picked up the teacup with an unnatural expression, and pretended to moisten his throat.

Seeing this, Yu Pan on the side took the baton, folded his hands and said: "Although Mr. Kong Ming said it well, but now Prime Minister Cao Cheng has a million soldiers and thousands of fierce generals, and he has the intention of swallowing Jiangxia in one bite, I don't know how Mr. Kong Ming wants to deal with it?" I heard that after Liu Yuzhou was defeated by Dangyang, only a few dozen horsemen were left to retreat to Xiakou. ”

Zhao Yi sneered and said disdainfully: "Cao Cao's millions of soldiers? I don't know where Mr. Zhong Xiang got the data? It can't be that I listened to Cao Thief himself, right? ”

Yu Fu frowned and said: "Although Cao Cao said it himself, I also calculated in advance that Cao Gong had 200,000 Qingzhou troops in his hands before defeating Yuan Shao, and after Guandu defeated Yuan Shao, he got 500,000 or 600,000, and the newly recruited troops in the Central Plains were estimated to be 340,000, and now they have more than 200,000 troops in Jingzhou, so I am afraid that there will be 1.5 million." ”

"Hahaha~~"

Zhao Yi laughed three times when he heard the other party's algorithm, stretched out his right index finger and shook it: "Liang heard that Mr. Zhong Xiang is proficient in the Book of Changes, and he should also have a lot of research on logarithms.

Let's calculate the amount of accounts now, not to mention anything else, I believe everyone knows that today, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there has been the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, the Ten Standing Servants Rebellion, the people have been displaced, massacres, famine, and plague have spread throughout the country, and a large number of peasants have been forcibly conscripted into the army, making the farmland deserted and uncultivated.

If there are no peasants, there will be no food, and if there is no food, the army will loot and loot everywhere, which makes the already difficult people and peasant households even worse, even the most powerful Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, in order to maintain the food supply of the army, even rely on picking mulberries and go down to the river to catch oysters and mussels as military rations.

Cao Cao dominated the Central Plains for many years, resulting in barren fields, displaced people, and some places were ten rooms and nine empty, and even there was a tragedy of cannibalism, we all know that the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, if Cao Cao really supported millions of soldiers as he said, then what did he rely on to feed the millions of soldiers?

It is not difficult to guess that after Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu, although there were nearly 10 million more people, this also included the old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as the army's logistical supplies.

Therefore, this is a big lie at all, as long as people with a little common sense can calculate this account, I believe that Mr. Zhong Xiang will also be able to calculate it, yes, there are not many soldiers left after my lord has been defeated by Dangyang, but before my lord's second brother Guan Yunchang also led tens of thousands of elite sailors, and Jiangxia Liu Qi also had more than 10,000 elite soldiers.

Unlike Cao Cao, General Sun, the lord of Jiangdong, has been running this place for a long time, with plenty of soldiers and food, and there is a natural barrier of the Yangtze River, so why is he afraid of Cao's army, which exaggerates and is not good at water warfare? There are even some people who instigate their lord to bow his knees and surrender, so timid as a mouse and short-sighted, why do they still have the face to live in the world? If I had died, he would have died in front of General Sun. ”
