Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Take Jiangdong first?

Set Huainan again?

It is exactly the opposite of Liu Bei's battle plan, completely opposite.

Liu Bei was taken aback.

Guan Yu was taken aback.

Lu Su was taken aback.

Only Zhang Fei was not in a daze, because he didn't know which of the two combat plans was better.

"Hahaha..." Zhang Fei laughed immediately, "Brother, military advisor, although I, Old Zhang, don't know which of these two battle plans is better, which one is worse."

"However, my old Zhang still likes the military division's battle plan. If this is the case, my old Zhang can immediately become a vanguard general."

"..." Almost everyone rolled their eyes, and no one wanted to pay attention to this idiot Zhang Fei.

This guy is a war madman.

As long as there is a battle to fight, he is happy.

If there's no war to fight, then he's too idle to go crazy.

Ignore Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei, Lu Su and Guan Yu don't understand Zhuge Liang's battle plan, they can't understand it.

This is not a trivial matter, it is related to the hegemony, of course Liu Bei did not dare not to ask clearly: "I also ask the military advisor to help me solve my doubts."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "My lord, Liang thinks so."

"First, when Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, those who are moved, not only the lord and Cao Mengde, but also one person, will immediately rise up and declare war on Yuan Shu."

Liu Bei's heart moved, and he blurted out: "The military adviser said, is it Sun Ce?"

"That's right, it's him." Zhuge Liang nodded, "Sun Ce deceived Yuan Shu by using the fake imperial jade seal, proclaiming himself emperor against the disapproval of the world, and became the target of crusade by all the princes."

"So, if Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, Sun Ce will definitely use this as an excuse to leave Yuan Shu."

"Then Sun Ce is the prefect of Runan, and naturally he also has business in Runan. How can he give up Yuzhou and not take it, and turn his troops to Huainan?"

"Otherwise, if Sun Ce abandons Yuzhou, it is tantamount to handing over Yuzhou to Cao Mengde."

"If the lord also sends troops to Huainan, Sun Ce is afraid of the strength of the two generals Guan and Zhang, so he will not be sure to take Huainan lightly."

"Another reason is that Yuan Shu has been operating in Huainan for many years, and it's a matter of time."

"Otherwise, once Sun Ce fails to achieve anything in Huainan and Yuzhou falls into the hands of Cao Cao, there will be absolutely no possibility for him to rise up again."

"So, I predict that Sun Ce will definitely use Runan as his base, send troops to the north, and take Yuzhou first, blocking Cao Cao's way to go south."

"As long as Sun Ce can defend Yuzhou, the land of Huainan can be gradually explored. This is the best strategy."

Liu Bei was even more confused: "Since Sun Ce doesn't plan to take Huainan, what's wrong with our army taking Huainan?"

Zhuge Liang chuckled: "The land of Huainan is the foundation of Yuan Shu. It is said that almost half of Yuan Shu's wealth, food and grass are in Huainan."

"So, once the lord sends his troops to Huainan, I'm afraid that Cao Cao and Sun Ce may not let the lord get all the benefits."

"Why?" Liu Bei became more and more confused.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Firstly, if my lord takes Huainan, all of Yuan Shu's wealth and provisions will belong to my lord, and my lord's strength will naturally increase."

"Secondly, the land of Huainan is connected with Xuzhou, blocking the possibility of Sun Ce or Cao Cao sending troops to Jiangdong, so the land of Jiangdong can only fall into the hands of the lord."

"So, neither Sun Ce nor Cao Cao will watch the land of Huainan fall into the hands of the lord."

"Once the lord sends troops to Huainan, maybe Cao Cao and Sun Ce will shake hands and make peace, and reach an agreement to deal with the lord together."

Liu Bei understood a little bit, and nodded: "The words of the military advisor are very kind."

Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "My lord takes Jiangdong, and Sun Ce and Cao Cao are fighting for Yuzhou. Although there is no war in Huainan, it will inevitably be burnt out."

"As for Jiangdong, Yuan Shu has newly settled here, and the people's hearts have not yet returned. Naturally, taking it will be twice the result with half the effort."

"Yuan Shu doesn't want the land of Jiangdong to fall into the hands of the lord, so he will definitely send troops and generals, and send out more food, grass and weapons."

"For one thing, after the lord acquires Jiangdong, these soldiers, as well as food, grass and military equipment, will naturally belong to the lord."

"Secondly, the strength of the land of Huainan has been weakened a bit. It will be beneficial and harmless for the Lord to attack Huainan again."

Guan Yu asked, "Military Master, if Sun Ce blocks Cao Cao and marches southward to take Huainan first, wouldn't that be a serious disaster?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Cao Cao is the hero of the world, not only his own culture and military strategy, but also Wenxing Wuchang under his command."

"It is said that the fighting power of Cao's army is unmatched among the princes of the Guandong."

"Whether Sun Ce can resist Cao's army is a question. How can he block Cao's army while going south to attack Yuan Shu?"

"Then how can Cao Cao just sit back and watch Sun Ce win Huainan and add a strong enemy to himself?"

"Therefore, Liang believes that the Battle of Yuzhou will never end in the short term."

"Cao Cao wants to plan Yuzhou, and Sun Ce wants to use Yuzhou as the foundation. The two must not give up an inch of land, and the war must be very stalemate."

"At that time, after the lord has settled Jiangdong, he will be able to attack Huainan with all his strength."

Guan Yu asked: "Didn't the military advisor say just now that Sun Ce and Cao Cao will not let the eldest brother get the land of Huainan, and will join forces to fight the eldest brother?"

"That's right, Liang did say that." Zhuge Liang nodded, and the feather fan continued to shake gently, without changing the rhythm at all.

Guan Yu was also confused, and asked: "Since this is the case, if our army sent troops to Huainan, wouldn't Cao Cao and Sun Ce join forces to fight against our army?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "One moment and another moment."

"If our army sends troops to Huainan first, then Sun Ce and Cao Cao have not yet fought, or have just fought, so it is naturally possible to shake hands and make peace, or even join forces to take Huainan together."

"As for how to divide the territory afterwards, it's not difficult."

"But if our army settles Jiangdong first, and then sends troops to Huainan, it will naturally be different."

"Although Yuan Shu has just won Jiangdong and the people's hearts are not attached, it is not difficult for our army to take Jiangdong."

"However, the land of Jiangdong is very vast. If there is not a year or a half, it may be difficult to accomplish anything."

"And within a year and a half, when Sun and Cao fight, both sides will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. The hatred already exists and cannot be resolved."

"At that time, even if they all know that the lord's possession of Huainan is not good for them, it will be difficult for the war to stop in a hurry."

"If any general of the two sides is lost at the hands of the other party, the hatred will be even more difficult to resolve, and the only way to do it is to fight to the death."

"Therefore, Liang thought it would be more beneficial for the lord to take Jiangdong first and then Huainan."

Zhuge Liang's words made Liu Bei and others admire.

The art of war is dead, but the battlefield is alive, and the strategist is alive.

If it cannot be adjusted according to changes in the battlefield, it is just talking on paper, which is the end of Zhao Kuo.

Liu Bei hardly thought about it, and immediately made a decision, according to Zhuge Liang's strategic plan, to take Jiangdong first.

Zhang Fei was naturally overjoyed. Liu Bei took Jiangdong first, and he was the vanguard general.

As soon as Liu Bei moved here, Yuzhou was already on the verge of war. Sun Ce sent his army to the north, and Cao Cao pressed the border from Yanzhou to the south.

Both sides are fast.

Just as Sun Ce took Chen Guo, Cao Cao also took Liang Guo, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides met at the border between Chen Guo and Liang Guo.
