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

"The best strategy is to temporarily ignore the land of Huainan after the lord occupies Jiangdong."

Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help being taken aback, and exclaimed: "What, ignore the land of Huainan?"

"Master, you don't have a fever, do you?"

"The land of Huainan is extremely important to Xuzhou and Jiangdong. It is like a wedge that can connect Xuzhou and Jiangdong together."

"Furthermore, with the land of Huainan, Jiangxia is also owned by our army. Next, our army will be able to go south to Jingzhou, northward to Yuzhou, and start the battle to unify the Central Plains."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "My lord, don't worry, Liang just said, it's only for the time being."

"The land of Huainan, as well as Jiangxia, will be in the lord's pocket sooner or later, it's just that they won't take it for the time being."

Finally, a light flashed in Liu Bei's mind, and he understood Zhuge Liang's meaning, and immediately blurted out: "The military adviser's intention, after our army takes Jiangdong, we will take the Yamatai country first?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, nodded with a smile and said, "My lord is wise, that's exactly what Liang meant."

"Because of its special location, Yamatai has little communication with the outside world, so it is really a wild and uncivilized place."

"Compared with the magnificent history of my Han Dynasty, Yamatai Kingdom is naturally inferior in terms of humanities, military art, farmland, handicrafts, etc."

"As far as the art of war is concerned, Liang thinks that there is no theory of art of war in Yamatai, and perhaps there may not even be armaments."

"As long as the large ship designed by Liang can be built, the time is chosen correctly, and the strong winds at sea are avoided, our army can successfully land in Yamatai."

"In this battle, Yamatai is definitely not our army's opponent, and it will definitely lose."

"Once our army conquers the Yamatai country, we can fill the army with Japanese people just like Nahua Ziyi."

"All kinds of minerals, resources, food and grass in Wa Island belong to the lord."

"It's just that it will take some time to conquer the Japanese island and control the Japanese people. Although this strategy is the best, the progress will be slow."

Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked again: "Dare to ask the military adviser, what is the solution to this strategy?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Naturally, the worst policy is to negotiate with the Japanese, and the two sides will cooperate to benefit together."

"But in this way, it is naturally much more difficult for the lord to control the Japanese people, so we can only form an alliance with them."

"And the disadvantages of the allied forces can be seen when the princes in the past called for Dong."

"What's more, this Japanese is a barbarian, and his language is completely different from that of the Han."

"However, if the negotiations can be concluded, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages, and the sharpness of our army will surely sweep everywhere."

"As long as the Kanto land can be pacified one by one, the battle with Hua Ziyi in the future will naturally not require the help of the Japanese."

"This is the case with the two strategies of up and down, and I ask the lord to come up with an idea."

Liu Bei has been through battle for a long time, so he naturally understands. There are two strategies, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult for him to make a decision at the moment.

"I don't know, how does the military adviser choose between these two strategies?"

Undecided, Liu Bei had to ask Zhuge Liang again.

Zhuge Liang was still shaking his feather fan lightly, with a confident look on his face, and smiled slightly: "Liang thinks that we must first understand the situation in Yamatai before making a conclusion."

"If Yamatai has a large population, rich products, and sufficient food and grass, Liang thinks it is the best strategy."

"Although the best strategy will take a long time, once the lord can fully control the Yamatai country, his strength will be greatly increased, and it will be easy to sweep the Kanto."

"Then, my lord will use the forces of Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou, together with the whole army of Yamatai, to dispatch. How can Hua Ziyi stand in the way of our army? Then the world will definitely belong to my lord."

"However, if the population of the Yamatai country is sparse, the products are not abundant, and the food and grass are insufficient, Liang thinks that he can make a bad move."

"Yamatai is weak, and it is allied with our army. Queen Himiko naturally dare not compete with the lord for power."

"At that time, we only need to give them some benefits, and then think that our army's military might will deter them. With such kindness and power, we will definitely make the Yamatai Kingdom bow their heads and obey their orders."

"Liang sent people to Yamatai and asked them to send envoys to Xuzhou. That's why."

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "The military division's arrangement is extremely appropriate, and it is according to the military division's intention."

"Let's go, military advisor, follow me to meet the Japanese from Yamatai."

Liu Bei had never seen a Japanese man before, so he naturally had a lot of curiosity in his heart at the moment, wanting to see what the Japanese man looked like.

Zhuge Liang bowed slightly: "Here, my lord."

The two went to the living room.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Bei saw a middle-aged man sitting there drinking tea, looking very intoxicated.

Sure enough, the appearance is no different from that of the Han people, but the clothes are very strange.

There was also a Han man who sat on the side and chatted with them, and what he said was babbling, and Liu Bei couldn't understand a word.

Zhuge Liang immediately explained: "This man's name is Huangzhou, from Youzhou, and he often does business with Sanhan and Japanese people, so he has learned fluent Sanhan and Japanese."

"Liang sent someone to Youzhou. By chance, he found this person and promised to pay a lot of money for our translation."

Only then did Liu Bei understand, and immediately he was full of praise for Zhuge Liang.

Now, Liu Bei's satisfaction with Zhuge Liang is definitely full marks.

Moreover, Liu Bei's admiration for Zhuge Liang is definitely like a torrential river that stretches endlessly, and it is like a flood of the Yellow River that is out of control.

Take one step, look at three steps, and plan for the future. This vision, this pattern, and that extraordinary internal affairs and military strategy ability are probably unmatched in the world.

When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang walked into the living room, Huang Zhou greeted him immediately: "Little man Huang Zhou, please refer to Mr. Liu Fu, Zhuge's military advisor."

"Excuse me." Liu Bei nodded, came to Huang Zhou, patted his shoulder lightly, and sighed, "It's been hard work to be an envoy to Yamatai."

"There are many storms and storms at sea, and there are many dangers, and it will be difficult for you."

Huang Zhou said with a smile: "Back to Mr. Liu, it's all thanks to the ingenious calculation of the military master Zhuge, the villain didn't encounter any storms on the way back."

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what was going on, and turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang explained with a smile: "My lord doesn't know something. Liang also has a little research on the art of astrology, so he can deduce the weather conditions in the next month."

"Although it may not be accurate, it is not too far off."

"Liang has calculated the weather, let Huangzhou set off as scheduled, and return as scheduled, and naturally there will be no storms on the road."

Liu Bei was shocked, looked at Zhuge Liang, and suddenly bowed deeply: "The military teacher is really a god, and Bei is really lucky in his three lives. With the help of the military teacher, great things will surely come true."

How could Zhuge Liang dare to accept Liu Bei's gift? He immediately walked away sideways and hurriedly bowed: "My lord, you are serious."

"Liang is just reading more, it's nothing."
