"Mr. Ziheng, if this assassin wants to start a war with Sun Ce, how do you think I should win the battle."

Jiang Zhuo's straightforward question made Lu Fan confused.

I'm still a young captive, okay, why are you asking me such a complicated question? And did I say that I want to surrender, although I have a little idea of wanting to leave Yuan Shu in my heart, but it doesn't mean that I accept you...

"Sun Ce offended the family too much, and almost every city he attacked had people who hated him. Now these people who hate him have gradually begun to appear, but less than one percent have surfaced.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and if Jiang Thorn Shi can unite these forces, it will not be difficult to destroy Sun Ce's forces. Lu Fan thought about it, but still answered Jiang Zhuo's question.

The main reason is that Jiang Zhuo has great righteousness, he is a genuine court official, and he has made great achievements by riding alone. Compared with Yuan Shu, the strength and official position that rely on background and money and grain are different.

The point is that Sun Ce's perception in the eyes of the family is really a bit poor. In history, the reason why the Sun family was able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong was actually due to the reason why Sun Quan began to compromise after he ascended to the throne.

Otherwise, Jiangdong will definitely be like Cao Cao's territory, and every time Cao Cao goes on an expedition, some families or royalists will jump out to do things.

"Now that the people of Yangzhou are displaced, they are either fleeing into the mountains and forests to steal, or fleeing to Jingzhou, how can I change this situation?"

Jiang Zhuo was very satisfied with Lu Fan's answer, in fact, he had vaguely had an idea about this, but he didn't summarize it into a strategy. Now after listening to it, he has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, he is always entangled in the strong strength of Sun Ce and the generals under his command, ignoring Sun Ce's foundation.

"In the chaos of war, the people may be forcibly conscripted as civil servants or even death squads to fill the moat at any time, in this case, most of the people know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If you want the people to return, you just need to make sure that your rule is stable enough, and as long as there is no unrest and forced conscription for a few months, they will naturally return.

Of course, if you want to get the people back quickly, you can either rely on war to loot the population, or use the land to lure the people back. Lu Fan's answer on this point did not surprise Jiang Zhuo.

Next, Jiang Zhuo asked a lot of questions about Fuhu Township, about water transport trade, about Huang Zu, and about Lu Kang. Sure enough, Lu Fan can answer questions related to war very well, but he is not good at trade and governance.

"It seems that Lu Fan is an NPC of Strategist Xiang, not Wenchen..."

Jiang Zhuo didn't have a famous NPC in his previous life, so he didn't find any difference. But in this life, after he got Zhang Zhao and Lu Su respectively, he found that Zhang Zhao was not good at leading troops and Lu Su was not good at governing.

It's important to figure out what your subordinates are good at, like Yu Flip is not good at attacking and running, so he can only use it to guard the place. Although Wu Anguo is also better at defense, he has a strong ability to lead the army to attack.

Therefore, Jiang Zhuocai asked Wu Anguo to form the Shanyue Army, and often took him thousands of miles to attack the enemy, and he could always achieve good results.

"Mr. Ziheng, I want to hire you as a military advisor, I hope you can help me, so that we can definitely quell the war in Jiangdong!" Jiang Zhuo finally threw out an olive branch, but Lu Fan did not hesitate and agreed directly.

During the exchange, Lu Fan also found that Jiang Zhuo was a person who could listen to advice, which was completely different from Yuan Shu. And although the military advisor sacrificial wine is a false position, this position is the same as Guo Jia's position under Cao Cao, he usually doesn't dare to do anything, just give advice when he fights, which is exactly what he wants.

"Ziheng see the lord!" Lu Fan knelt down on one knee, "But Yuan Shu is the old master of Ziheng after all, I don't want to turn against him, this..."

Jiang Zhuo waved his hand to interrupt Lu Fan's words, "This is nature. If Ziheng can be ruthless to the old master just after he is attached, I don't dare to use you. ”

"Thank you for your understanding!"

...

Lu Fan was sent by Jiang Zhuo to Haidun City to temporarily serve as Liaohua's military advisor. Before leaving, Jiang Zhuo also issued a task to Lu Fan, if Lu Fan could rely on the strength of Hailun City and Jiaoqiu City itself to take Shangyu City, Jiang Zhuo would ask the imperial court for him to be awarded a military position.

A military position is not only a good thing, but also an honor, and it is not small to attract NPCs.

......

The battle of Waterriver Bay shocked the entire war zone, and the gang forces found that this kind of operation could still be carried out in the war. And the NPC forces were surprised by Jiang Zhuo's strength, with only 10,000 troops, they actually surrounded and annihilated 50,000 troops, killed 10,000 prisoners and captured 40,000, it was simply a divine operation.

The three giants of Yangzhou silently withdrew the people who had sprinkled them into Jiang Zhuo's territory to prepare for trouble, not that they were frightened by Jiang Zhuo, but they should avoid their edge when the enemy's momentum was at its peak. Otherwise, if Jiang Zhuo fought back, relying on his current momentum, it would be easy for countless small and medium-sized forces to do things for him.

At that time, the people they sent into Jiang Zhuo's territory estimated that even if they did something, they would be quickly pacified.

In addition, the [Qingzhou Gang] also silently held a high-level meeting.

"[Lingyun Palace] has become a powerful force at the level of [Slashing Chiyou], who is in charge of trade, it's time to make a strategic deal with them. After the incident of Yuan Shu becoming emperor, we have to take back Laozi Mountain! ”

The gang leader of the [Qingzhou Gang], Xianxiao, had also secretly met with [Tongquetai] and [Penglai Pavilion] before, wanting them to help pinching [Slashing Chiyou]. It is a pity that the former was in danger of splitting at that time, and the latter was still suppressing the unrest of the barbarians in Jiaozhou at that time.

Without their help, the [Qingzhou Gang] fought against [Jian Ji Tianxia] and [Chop Chi You] at the same time, and the result could only be a complete defeat and the loss of the important stronghold of Laozi Mountain.

Now that [Lingyun Palace] was born out of thin air, and it has a bad relationship with [Chopping Chiyou], it is completely a natural ally of the string owl. The two sides can communicate with each other and find an opportunity to slash [Chop Chi You] for a wave.

Xu Beitang's hall master, Phantom Yebei, nodded, "Understood." I will use the high-grade refined salt to trade minerals with the [Lingyun Palace], and if I trade in their Fuhu Township, the tax rate is still very low.

Moreover, salt and minerals are both bulk trade, so when the time comes, we can work with the [Lingyun Palace] to maintain the trade road, and we will pass through the territory of [Chopping Chiyou] on the way. If [Chopping Chiyou] dares to make a move, we will have an excuse to flank [Chopping Chiyou] together! ”

The string owl gave a thumbs up, which was a good idea. A large number of expensive goods pass in front of you, do you grab it or not?

Moreover, the [Qingzhou Gang] and the [Lingyun Palace] just need an excuse for war to attack [Chop Chi You], and when the time comes, they can even guard and steal themselves, send someone to rob the caravan, and then frame it for [Chop Chi You].
