Everyone here is an elite in Chinese history, and there are two top strategists with intelligence of Sun Bin and Zhuge Liang.

It is precisely because everyone is a smart person and understands the truth that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, so no one wants to take the initiative to jump out to show his superiority. Either wait for the Son of Heaven to ask questions by name, or wait for the Son of Heaven to take the initiative to give an answer.

"Kong Ming, let me talk about your opinion, what do I mean by the potential danger?" Liu Wei set his eyes on the young Kong Ming and asked him to throw bricks and lead the jade.

Since he was named, Zhuge Liang naturally couldn't be obscure anymore, so he stood up and said: "The potential factor Your Majesty said refers to Cao Mengde, right?" ”

"Yes, it's Cao Mengde!" "Cao Cao has gained a firm foothold north of the Yellow River since he captured Yecheng and expelled Ran Min, and now he holds the entire territory of Jizhou and Bingzhou, as well as most of the land of Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Moreover, the land under his rule is fertile, prosperous and rich, the population density exceeds 10 million, and the army has 400,000 armor, and its strength is second only to my central court, which can be described as a big threat! ”

Yue Fei stood straight, stroked his beard and groaned: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, I can't imagine that this Cao Mengde is really amazing, in the gap between the princes, he can slowly develop to such a strong point." If Cao Cao is willing to sincerely assist His Majesty, then our army will be like a tiger with wings, and sweeping the four seas is just around the corner. If Cao Cao has the ambition of the five hegemons, he is afraid that there will be variables. ”

"Yes, when General Xu Zi of Runan was commenting on people, he once gave Cao Cao the evaluation of 'a capable minister who rules the world, a traitor in troubled times', and now it seems that Cao Cao really lives up to Xu Zijiang's evaluation!" Liu Wei's eyes were like torches. glanced at the civil and military forces, and said in a deep voice.

There was a pause. Liu Wei continued: "Fortunately, I have always treated Xu Chu well, and I have been busy crusading against Sun Ce during this time. The matter was put on hold, and the conditions promised by Cao Cao to send Tian Feng and Zhen Mi in exchange were never mentioned again, somehow? This time, after the class teacher returned to the court, he happened to bring up this matter again, and by the way, what was Cao Cao's next plan? ”

Sun Bin came out and analyzed: "Cao Cao has now brought 400,000 armor, not to mention that these 400,000 are all his descendants, and it is almost impossible for him to be a courtier willingly." If it is said that Cao Cao in the past could still be a 'capable minister who rules the world', but now Cao Cao can only be a traitor in troubled times! ”

After listening to Sun Bin's analysis, there was silence in the conference hall.

The fact is indeed as Sun Bin said, Cao Cao now has an army of 400,000. Moreover, these 400,000 horses were all created by him, and he can completely rely on his strong military strength to tear the earth and seal the king, how can he relieve himself of military power and surrender his vassals? Don't mention anything else, isn't he afraid that the rabbit will die and the dog will cook, and the bird will hide the bow?

"Yes, what Sun Qing said is very true, Cao Mengde is now full-fledged, and it is impossible to be a capable minister who governs the world again. There is only one path left! Liu Wei stroked the velvet at the corner of his lips and sighed, "The most important thing now is when Cao Cao breaks with me?" If the apparent relationship between the monarch and the minister can be maintained for three years, our army will definitely be able to sweep away the rebels in Bashu and Hanzhong. It is not impossible to even take Luoyang and Chang'an; If Cao Cao breaks with me within a year and a half, then the situation in the north will be difficult. ”

Sun Bin continued to analyze: "Cao Mengde's wisdom tank is gathered, Guo Jia, Xun You, and Cheng Yu all have Chen Ping's talents. And recently, there is Jia Xu, an old fox, who has joined him, which has made Cao Cao feel like a tiger. With the strategic vision of Cao Cao Group. It is impossible not to see the next step of the situation, Cao Cao naturally understands that after His Majesty exterminates the Western Han Dynasty, it will be their turn next. Therefore, the minister speculated. Cao Cao will rebel within a year, and Your Majesty should prepare as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by Cao Cao, which will lead to chaos in our court. ”

"What Sun Qing said is extremely true, this is the potential threat I am talking about!" Liu Wei approved, "If Cao Cao rebels again, Li Jing's army on the expedition to Youzhou is likely to be cut off from retreating, causing the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse." Therefore, I must take precautions and send troops to Qingzhou to reinforce Li Jing. While resisting Li Tang in the east, you have to cheer up to prevent Cao Cao from suddenly stabbing him in the back! ”

It can be said that half of Cao Cao's growth and rise was supported by Liu Wei, but this is also something that cannot be helped. If there is no alliance with Cao Cao, if the two sides are tilted against each other, Cao Cao will indeed not be able to grow, but Liu Wei will not be able to destroy Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce and other princes, if there is no Cao Cao who now has an army of 400,000, there will be no Eastern Han court with 900,000 armor.

To be honest, the cooperation between Liu Wei and Cao Cao has achieved a win-win result, and the two major forces have developed back to back, so that there is today's half of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's control of the four states.

It is a pity that there is no feast in the world, and there are no eternal allies, all the princes of the world share with interests, and when their interests conflict, the rupture of the alliance is an inevitable situation.

Sun Bin continued: "Of course, Your Majesty doesn't need to be too pessimistic, Cao Cao also has his concerns. In the north of Cao Cao, there are alien races such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan who are eyeing each other, and Li Tang is also determined to get involved in Middle Earth, which also makes Cao Cao dare not easily rebel, and he will be cautious in everything. If our army can take over the two counties of Youzhou controlled by Gongsun Zan before Cao Cao rebelled, and then control Bohai County with lightning speed, and unite Youzhou with the eastern part of Jizhou and Qingzhou, it will be able to seize the initiative! ”

"Well, Sun Aiqing's analysis is reasonable!" Liu Wei nodded, "Now that the situation in the north is changing, who should be sent to Qingzhou to assist Li Jing?" ”

Ma Chaolie volunteered: "The minister is willing to mention the division of the first brigade and go north to Qingzhou to help Pharmacist Li!" ”

Liu Wei applauded: "Ma Mengqi has been in Liangzhou for many years, he is familiar with the tactics of the Hu people, and he is especially good at commanding the cavalry. But Qingzhou is full of dangers, and just going alone is not enough to remove the threat, I still need to send Wei Qing to go north with you! ”

In Liu Wei's heart, he planned to set up three major army corps in the future, one northern corps, the main strategic goal was to curb the expansion of Li Tang and Xiongnu to the Central Plains, and to be able to confront the Cao Cao group head-on at the critical moment. A southern group, the strategic goal is to resist the invasion of the Kushan Empire, and by the way, exterminate the remnants of Sun Ce and the remnants of the Taiping Army. The last one is the Central Plains Army, and the future strategic goal is to march into Luoyang, take Chang'an, and sweep the Western Han Dynasty.

Since it is a large corps operation, the commander's ability must be top-notch in the world, Liu Wei believes that the command ability should not be less than 100, and according to this standard, the commander of the Northern Army is naturally Li Jing. Moreover, Liu Wei believes that the ability of the deputy marshal must at least reach the level of 98 or above to be competent, according to this standard, in fact, Wang Meng, who served as the assassin of Qingzhou, is worth using.

However, the situation in Qingzhou is more complicated, in addition to going north to curb the expansion of Li Tang and the Xiongnu, we must also beware of Cao Cao's sudden rebellion; After all, the distance between Qingzhou and the Korean Peninsula is too close, and the nearest place is only more than 100 nautical miles.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Liu Wei planned to send Wei Qing to the north and Wang Meng to serve as Li Jing's deputy respectively, Wei Qing's "cavalry" attribute can well restrain the Xiongnu and Xianbei cavalry, and the cavalry led by Ma Chao can fight the cavalry of the Hu people head-on without falling behind, with the help of the two of them, the strength of the northern army will be greatly improved.

"Obey the order!" Ma Chao bowed down to receive the order.

Liu Wei immediately issued an edict, transferring Weiqing, Ma Chao and Tai Shici to lead 20,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry for a total of 60,000 people, and Keri went north to Qingzhou to aid Li Jing's army.

In this way, the formation of the Northern Army is completed, and in Liu Wei's heart, the commander of the Southern Army must be Wu Qi; However, now Wu Qi's qualifications are relatively low, and Xu Huang has to be temporarily appointed as the coach, waiting for Wu Qi to make meritorious achievements before slowly correcting himself. In addition, Meng Tian has Pei's two heroes under him, and he must send a fierce general to help in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Jiang Song, you step down from the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and go south with Gao Xianzhi to Xu Huang and Wu Qi to wait for dispatch."

Liu Wei glanced at his subordinate Wenwu and assigned Jiang Song and Gao Xianzhi to go south to Jiaozhou. Jiang Song can carry Pei Yuanqing head-on, while Gao Xianzhi's attributes are suitable for forest and mountain warfare, and he can give full play to his strengths to the greatest extent.

"Obey the order!" Jiang Song and Gao Xianzhi glanced at each other and bowed down together to receive the order.

Of course, this is only the primary Southern Army in Liu Bian's mind, according to Liu Bian's speculation, Sun Bin and Zhuge Liang's speculation, Sun Ce's remnants' next plan is likely to flow to South Vietnam, unite with the Taiping Army led by Wei Changhui and Li Xiucheng, attach themselves to Meng Tian's Guishan Army, and then plot a counterattack. After all, Sun Quan took the initiative to abandon Changsha, and it was impossible to trap the sparsely populated Guiyang, and fleeing south could only be their only way out!

"The remnants of Sun Ce have become the end of the strong crossbow, with the pursuit of Han Shizhong and Gan Ning, and the interception of Huo Quji's army, which is enough to suppress Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. But in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I decided to send Long Ju with 10,000 men to the south to assist Han Shizhong in pursuing the remnants of Sun Ce's army! Liu Wei glanced at Long and gave an order.

"Obey the order!" The dragon strode out to receive the order.

In this way, the Southern Army in Liu Bian's mind has also been released, with Wu Qi as the main commander in the future, Xu Huang and Huo Qubing as the deputy commanders, Su Lie, Guo Wei, Jiang Song, Gao Xianzhi, Huang Zhong, Jiang Wei, and Lu Xun as the auxiliaries, and Wang Shouren dispatching grain and grass, the frontal strength can completely eat the Guishan Army led by Meng Tian and the remnants of the Sun and Taiping armies. As for Han Shizhong's army, after Sun Quan led his troops to flee south, he naturally had to withdraw to Chaisang, and if necessary, attack Bashu by water, attack Liu Bei, or go down the river to reinforce the Qingzhou Navy to fight against the Li Tang navy.

"There is also Yuwen Chengdu who wants to be transferred back to Jinling to replace Jiang Song as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, so that you can increase your force by 8 points at all times, which is called making the best use of your talents!" Liu Wei groaned secretly in his heart, trying to let his subordinates give full play to their strength. (To be continued......)
