Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan lightly and said! , "The general does not take a gap." Ryo is grateful. However, Liang's ambition has gone, and he just wants to go home and plow, live some ordinary days, and ask the general to fulfill it

Retreat! Zhang Xiu had already speculated before meeting Zhuge Liang that he was likely to make this request, and it was very likely. In this case, Zhang Xiu couldn't help him.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but ponder, Zhuge Liang said again: "Liang only wants to be like a teacher, go home and plough while teaching apprentices." ”

Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "Kong Ming is a great talent, wouldn't it be a pity to waste all his skills." If Kong Ming was willing to get along, he would have been treated in phase! Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu's body surged with a unique momentum of the previous person! However, this momentum is not comparable to that of ordinary princes, and Zhang Xiu's sentence "At this moment of waiting for the phase, Zhang Xiu's ambition is fully revealed."

Zhuge Liang heard this, sighed, and asked: "There are so many talented people under the general, why force it."

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "Although the world is big, there are many talents. However, there are very few people in the world who can be seen, and the one who is second to none is Kong Ming! Although the chaos in the world started with the Yellow Turban, but before the Yellow Turban Chaos. Relatives and eunuchs alternate autocratic powers. The world has long been empty. Coupled with these decades of war, it is none other than Kong Ming that can make the people return to a stable life as soon as possible. With Kong Ming's talent, if it is the phase, within ten years, the prosperous era can come, and the world will be abundant! This is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and embroidery must be done."

When Pang Tong heard this, he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Kong Ming, this is for all the people of the world, not for one's own selfishness, so why should the law refuse."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhuge Liang over there take a deep breath and said: "Since it is for the benefit of the people of the world, Liang dare not help but see Zhang Xiu's face with joy, Zhuge Liang continued: "But now the world has not been unified, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian still have a chance to fight back. Until then, please go home and go into hiding

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he laughed and said: "Ben will believe that Kong Ming is a person who keeps his promise, but after a pause, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Fang Cai Kong Ming said that he wanted to teach apprentices like a teacher, and Ben would know a few talents that could be created, and he wanted to recommend them to Kong Ming." ”

The three Pang Tong on one side heard it and looked at the two with a smile. Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that the general is not ready to let go of the brightness." ”

Zhang Xiu laughed and said: "They are all talents that are rare in a century, and I believe that Kong Ming is also willing to have this apprentice." If Kong Ming believes that he can't be a general, he can test them. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he asked casually, "I don't know who the general recommended?" ”

Zhang Xiu wrenched his fingers and counted: "Fei Yan, Dong Yun, Wei Wei, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui"

Speaking of this, Pang Tong suddenly interjected dissatisfiedly: "Lord, you can't be like this, Zhong Hui's slippery head is a disciple of Tong."

As soon as Pang Tong finished speaking, 6 Xun also spoke: "General, Deng Ai is a self-taught person

Zhang Xiu heard this, and was speechless for a while, so he said, "That's it." Xiang Lang Juda's brother can also be. Young horses can often learn for a few more years

Zhuge Liang heard that Zhang Xiu had to count. Then he said: "General, it is already a lot for Liang to teach five children alone, and there can be no more."

Zhang Xiu secretly calculated it, here Fei Socks, Dong Yun learned political strategy, Ma Xuan learned strategy, Xiang Pet learned military strategy, as for Jiang Wei, the successor of Zhuge Liang in history, he can learn as much as he can. It's just that Jiang Wei followed Zhuge Liang. I don't know if it will delay Zhao Yun to teach him martial arts, and I have to communicate with Zhao Yun about this.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, just the five of them."

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly at Pang Tong. said: "Shiyuan, the lord you voted for is the same temperament as you, Huang Yueying heard it, but she was snickering with her mouth covered.

When Pang Tong heard this, his ugly face turned red, and he said hurriedly: "Kong Ming." You can't slander your friends like that. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan lightly, and said lightly: "What Liang said is the truth" Everyone heard Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong arguing, but they laughed.

Zhang Xiu and the others sat for a while before leaving one after another. Back in the Taishou Mansion, the dinner party has already begun. Zhang Xiu was very purposeful this time, and kept persuading Pang Tong to drink, and drunk him that night. After everyone left, Zhang Xiu asked about the matter between Pang Tong and Huang Yueying. I don't know if Pang Tong subconsciously felt that this matter could never be said, and Zhang Xiu couldn't ask anything he could, and in the end the matter could only come to an end. Three days later, Gangneung was too guarded in the house. This time, all the civil and military forces were there, not only the people who conquered Jingzhou this time, but even Jia Xu came from Chang'an. Gain's meeting was extremely important, and Jia Xu, as the military advisor of Zhang Xiujun, must attend. And Jia Xu came this time, but Wen Ping and Gao Shun, who were persuaded by Liu Biao, came together, and Gan Ning, the commander of the naval army, also came. Zhang Xiu's military ministers all came this time.

This time, it was Li Ruyan who talked about the current situation in the world and the situation of Zhang Xiujun. I only heard Li Ru say, "Everyone, Liu Bei has been destroyed, Jingzhou is already in the hands of our army, and half of our army in the world has been embraced." As soon as the battle between Sun Jian and Cao Cao in Chibi ended, Cao's army suffered heavy casualties, and Sun Xiaojian advanced at both ends, attacking Jiangxia all the way. Attack Huainan all the way. It's just that due to our army's surprise attack on Jingnan, the capture of Jingzhou was too fast, and our army deliberately covered it up. Now neither Cao Cao nor Sun Jian has received this news, and our army has seized some opportunities. Now there are two choices before our army, that is, to attack Cao Cao first or Sun Jian first! ”

The last sentence of Li Ru's words is also the focus of today's discussion. Chen Gong was the first to speak: "After the first battle of Chibi, although Cao Cao died as an outcast, there was still a blow to morale, so now the two families of Sun Cao have similar strength. However, these are not the main points, and the palace thinks that the most important thing for us is not to let Sun Cao and the two families ally together. Once the two are aligned, then the unification of the world may be far away! ”

When Fa Zheng heard it, he also nodded and said: "What Gongtai said is not bad, and now there are only three princes left in the world. The three-legged momentum is the most stable, and we must destroy the three-legged momentum before it is stable, otherwise it will be a big problem! ”

Zhang Xiu knew that what Chen Gong and Fa Zheng said was reasonable, and this was a profound lesson of history. The current situation is very similar to history, except that the roles have changed somewhat, becoming Zhang Xiu strong and Cao Cao and Sun Jian weak. It's just that if the two Cao and Sun families are allied, it will be very difficult for Zhang Xiu to destroy the two families with the power of one family. Thankfully, the situation is not yet at its worst...... Minor facts. Sun Cao's two families just fought against Zong, and they didn't know that Zhang Xiusi was "gang", they thought that Liu Bei was dying in Jingzhou to resist, if the two families knew about Zhang Xiu's situation now, I am afraid they would not have fought so happily.

6 Xun listened, nodded, and said, "In such a situation, the only way is to attack one before the two families form an alliance. First gain the absolute upper hand with the momentum of thunder, so that even if the two are allied, they can defend and attack at the same time, so as to win the battle. ”

Tai Shi Ci heard it but said: "So should you attack Cao Cao or Jiangdong first?" ”

Pang Tong smiled at this time: "In fact, both Cao Cao and Sun Jian have their own advantages and disadvantages for our army. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said, "Shangyuan and tell me carefully." ”

Pang Tong nodded and said: "If Cao Cao is attacked first, General Gongming's headquarters can be the vanguard, and the main army is now the main force to attack." Because it is very close from Nanyang to Xuchang, if we are lucky, we may be able to kill Cao Cao in a battle, and then the Central Plains and Hebei will be in chaos, and the army of the lord will be exhausted. The world can be determined! However, Xu Lubu has a heavy army, relying on General Gongming all the way, it is already quite difficult to defeat Cao Cao, and if Cao Cao learns that the lord is attacking, he can retreat on the one hand, go to the hinterland of Zhongji to set up defenses, and on the other hand, he can join Sun Jian. At that time, the lord will still fall into a three-legged situation. ”

Everyone understood as soon as they heard it, Pang Tong's strategy was very risky, but the reward was extremely high. As long as Cao Cao can be successfully killed, then it will be easy to take over all the places under Cao Cao's rule. Even if Zhang Xiu's actions were sluggish and Sun Jian took some places, it would not be difficult to take them back with the benefit of Zhang Xiu's cavalry. At that time, there are eight Zhang Xiu in the world who want to destroy Sun Jian, which is as easy as a matter of hand. Of course, the return is high, and the risk is also very high, as long as Cao Cao can't be killed with one blow, then Sun Jian and Cao Cao will be allied, and Zhang Xiu will fall into a bitter battle. I'm afraid that it will not be possible to set the world in my lifetime.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu secretly shook his head and asked, "Shiyuan, what if you attack Jiangdong?" ”

Pang Tong touched his chin and said: "Now that our army occupies Jingzhou, if we attack Jiangdong, we can go out from Jingnan, and there is still a feasible strategy for the lord to take Jingnan, and send troops from Jiaozhou to take the south of the county of Huiji." And now the Jiangdong army has crossed the river to attack Jiangxia and Junnan. There are not many soldiers in Jiangdong, and an immediate attack can capture many counties. It's just that once Jiangdong reacts, it can use the advantage of the navy to invade our army's grain route along the Yangtze River. Therefore, to attack Jiangdong, it is necessary to deal with the Jiangdong naval army, as long as the naval army wins, the difficulty of leveling Jiangdong is not too great. ”

Zhang embroidered with light fingers. Table case, muttered to himself: "Water Army" Water Army "Water Army" said while looking at Gan Ning, who was already looking to the side, and asked: "Xingba, if you fight with the Jiangdong Water Army, can you be sure?" ”

Gan Ning pondered for a moment and said: "The generals of the Jiangdong Navy are the original water bandits Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and their original subordinates formed the earliest Jiangdong Navy Army. In terms of combat power, they are not as good as Ning's Jinfan Battalion. Moreover, our army's warships are more advanced than the Jiangdong Naval Army, and once they are engaged in a tough battle, Ning is confident that even if they can't defeat the Jiangdong Naval Army, they can fight to the end. It's just that the biggest problem is that the commander of the Jiangdong Navy is Zhou Yu, who uses soldiers like a god, especially in the Navy Army. Ning was confident that no one in Jiangdong would be able to match Ning, but if he was in command and engaged the Jiangdong naval army led by Zhou Yu, he was afraid of more defeats and fewer victories. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, sighed, and said secretly: "Zhou Yu, it is indeed a big trouble. ”

Pang Tong had already seen through Zhang Xiu's thoughts, so he said: "In fact, our army's attack from Jingnan has reduced the advantage of the Jiangdong naval army to a certain extent. Our army attacked from Jingnan, so that our navy could avoid the Jiangdong navy, and the Jiangdong navy had to attack to cut off our army's food route. Under such circumstances, the Jiangdong naval army is the attack, while our naval army is the defense. The defending side has its own advantages, and we can use the grain road as a bait to lure the Jiangdong naval army into a plan. ”

Zhang Xiu listened, nodded, and secretly continued to think about it. If Jiangdong is attacked, Sun Jian and Cao Cao will ally together, and Cao Cao will send troops, Zhang Xiu will be able to defend and defend as he did last time, and kill Sun Jian. And now that Sun Jian's army is in Jiangbei, he has the advantage of Jingnan and Jiaozhou on his side, but now it seems that it is better to attack Jiangdong than to attack Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu turned his head and asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, what do you think about taking Jiangdong?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "With the current situation, it is indeed more cost-effective to take Jiangdong than to conquer the Central Plains. However, in the face of Cao Cao, he could not relax his defense, and broke the embankment last time. The Tiger Prison and Jishui were seriously damaged. Nowadays, Henan Yin on the south bank of the Yellow River and Hanoi County on the north bank have become gaps in Cao Cao's westward advance, and if the lord wants to attack Jiangdong, he must deploy heavy troops to defend them here. ”

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment and thought: "Now there are 30,000 foot soldiers and 30,000 Qiang Hu iron cavalry in Luoyang that can be moved, the flying feather bow cavalry and cloud cavalry have not been damaged, and Gao Shun's newly trained 100,000 infantry can also fight. Such an army of 200,000 can block Cao's army on the north and south banks of the Yellow Year! ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu shouted: "Zilong, order you to take command and lead the army to garrison both sides of the Yellow River in case Cao's army comes to attack." Meng Qi is the auxiliary, and Wen He is the military advisor. Zhao Yun and the others listened and promised at the same time. Zhang Xiu didn't take Jia Xu to Jiangdong, but he was afraid that he would be old and not suitable for Jiangdong, so it would be better for him to stay in the north.

After giving the order, Zhang Xiu turned his head and said to 6 Xun: "Bo Yan"

Before Zhang Xiu could give an order, 6 Xun gave up his hand and said: "General, Xun does not want to be an enemy of Jiangdong. I beg your pardon, General. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, sighed lightly, and said, "In this way, Bo Yan will be with Zilong." ”

6 Xun heard this, and arched his hand: "General Xie! ”

At this time, Zhang Xiu glanced around at everyone. 6 After Xun left, among the strategists, those who were familiar with water warfare were also Pang Tongyi, so he said: "Shiyuan, let you work with Xingba to deal with Zhou Yu in Jiangdong!" ”

Pang Tong heard this, gave up his promise, and Zhang Xiu looked around at everyone. said: "Xu Rong led 50,000 recruits to garrison Jiangling, and the rest waited. Tomorrow, we will go with this general and go to Jiangdong! ”

The audience listened and responded in unison: "No" The audience was extremely excited. At first, everyone thought that Zhang Xiu would rest for a period of time before attacking Jiangdong, but they did not expect to be forced by the situation and chose to march immediately. If you win this time, then the world will be just around the corner, so there is no reason why everyone is not excited.
