The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 179 The Talent of the Villager (for Subscription)

Jiangfu, next to the sand table.

Looking at the fallen soldiers, Zhang Xiu showed a hint of helplessness. This is the ninth time he and Zhuge Liang have deduced. He originally thought that his ability to command the army would improve during the two years of fighting.

However, in front of the villagers, he is still a dish!Moreover, Zhuge Liang defeated him with righteous soldiers, almost making Zhang Xiu follow his train of thought at every step, which was extremely terrifying.

"I won't come, I won't come anymore." Zhang Xiu had a bitter face, he had a mental problem, and went to line up with Guabi when he had nothing to do, and it was because of his name Zhang Xiu that he didn't get blown up.

Not far away, Jia Xu and Chen Qun shook their heads and chuckled.

Zhang Xiu dropped the chess piece in his hand, and immediately asked curiously: "Kong Ming, what do you think will happen to the world today? What should I do?"

"Hehe," Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, shaking his feather fan.

Jia Xu and Chen Qun also cast their gazes, showing curiosity. They also wanted to know Zhuge Liang's thoughts.

"My lord, the current situation in the world is clear, but it is full of variables. Leaving aside the dispute between Cao and Yuan, Cao Cao may have trapped Lu Bu to death."

"After Cao Cao takes all of Xuzhou, he will occupy the Central Plains, occupy the three states of Yan, Yu, and Xu, and become one of the strongest princes in the world. At that time, he has three choices."

"Which three choices?" Zhang Xiu asked curiously.

"First, if Yuan Shao is about to pacify Gongsun, then Cao Cao will prepare his troops for battle, and even move his capital to Xuzhou instead of Xuchang, which he has worked so hard to manage."

"Abandon Xuchang?" Zhang Xiu frowned, "Kong Ming, do you mean that Cao Cao will move the capital to protect me?"

"Cao Cao is a hero with great ambitions. This move is not impossible. If he doesn't move the capital, he will be defeated regardless of whether he wins or not. If you want to come, Cao Cao knows this too."

"What's more, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are dilapidated. And Xuzhou is relatively rich in people's livelihood. He will definitely put the imperial capital in Xuzhou and leave this southward route for the lord or Yuan Shao."

"If you take the lord, you will face Yuan Shao's army. If Yuan Shao takes it, you will see the south of the Yangtze River as a tiger. With his reputation as the fourth generation and the third lord, it is difficult to guarantee that Jingzhou will not be in turmoil."

"In this way, Cao Cao can recharge his energy to fight Xuzhou, but he can sit back and watch the lord compete with Yuan Shao. Even if Yuan Shao attacks his side, he will not be weak in defense."

Zhuge Liang said loudly.

Zhang Xiu nodded, quite approving.

When later Cao Cao attacked Guandu, Jingzhou was in chaos, and Liu Biao had no intention of advancing, so he only needed a small number of troops to defend the south.But now I live in Jingzhou by myself.

If Cao Cao wins, he decides to attack the rear, and he will lose the situation. With this plan, it is possible. After all, although Yanzhou and Yuzhou belong to the Central Plains, they are already dilapidated.

What's more, avoiding Xuzhou, coupled with the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, maybe he really fooled Yuan Shao to let him destroy himself first. After all, it is not impossible for Yuan Shao to do such a thing.

"Secondly, Yuan Shaoruo is still with Gongsun Zan for a long time, and it will be difficult to defeat the Youzhou and Heishan armies. Then with Cao Cao's character, he definitely wants to cut off the serious troubles in his heart and take back Nanyang."

"Therefore, he decided to join forces with Sun Ce. Sun Ce will attack Chaisang and Lujiang, and he will conquer Nanyang himself. Only by taking back Nanyang can he keep Xuchang safe."

"Thirdly, Yuan Shao was unable to defeat Gongsun Zan, but Cao Cao moved his capital to Xuzhou on his own initiative to show weakness to Yuan Shao, while Cao Cao himself prepared his troops to wait for the opportunity."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he shook his feather fan and explained with a chuckle: "However, with Cao Cao's heart, it is unlikely that he will abandon Xuchang and leave. Even if he leaves, he will not be able to attack the Queen of Nanyang."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Zhang Xiu couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking about it, feeling a little enlightened, and immediately said: "What does Kong Ming think Cao Cao will do now?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid Xun Yu is already collecting information on the battle situation of the Heishan Army in Jizhou and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. I think that as long as Yuan Shao persists, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to Nanyang." Zhuge Liang clasped his hands and clasped his fists, almost certain.

"Since that's the case, then I will let Huang Zhong not return, and set up troops with Yecheng. In addition, let Zhao Yun lead the cavalry to help. As for Lujiang, let Liu Ye move the people first, and then send generals to guard it."

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

"That's great, but Liang thinks that there is an extremely important place at the moment, and the lord needs to make some arrangements." Zhuge nodded, and then said gently.

"Where?" Zhang Xiu frowned.

"Guanzhong." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Guanzhong is the pre-Qin land. The reason why Qin VI was able to rule the world all depends on the topography of Guanzhong. It has four gates guarding it, and overlooks the Central Plains."

"But now, Guo Si has been killed by his subordinate Wu Xi years ago, and the rest has been annexed by Li Jue. At present, Li Jue is in charge of Guanzhong alone, and his power will not last long."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiujian frowned slightly, and said, "Are you saying that you want me to send troops to attack Guanzhong? Take this pre-Qin land? But Guanzhong has experienced Han Sui, Dong Zhuo, and Xiliang's melee battles before and after. There's no one here!"

Zhang Xiu looked at Zhuge Liang curiously.

"No, Guanzhong is far away from Jingzhou. If my lord takes it rashly, it will dissatisfy the Guanlong family on the one hand, and on the other hand, they will divide their troops to garrison in various places. The loss outweighs the gain."

Zhuge Liang explained with a chuckle.

"Then Kong Ming, what do you mean?"

"My lord, Liang is worried that Li Jue will be killed by Cao Cao. I think Cao Cao has ordered Guan Longhao to kill Li Jue in the name of the Son of Heaven. I'm afraid Li Jue will die soon."

"After Li Jue's death, the Guanlong family will definitely welcome Cao Cao to take over. If Cao Cao takes Guanzhong, he will have another way to retreat, and he will also be able to bring him a steady stream of war horses."

"The most important thing is that he can capture Wuguan and go out of Wuguan to spy on Nanyang. In this way, the strong walls and clear fields north of Nanyang will be meaningless to Cao Cao."

"He can freely enter and leave Nanyang with his cavalry, and then Nanyang will be devastated by the flames of war again." Zhuge Liang explained little by little, with a slightly dignified expression.

"You mean to let me increase troops to Wuguan and repair the pass to prevent Cao Cao from invading?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.Zhuge Liang's words really woke him up.

If he remembers correctly, Li Jue will be killed by Guan Long Haoqiang next month, and passed on to Xu Chang, and Cao Cao will completely extend his hand into Guanzhong at this time.

Although Guanzhong has suffered from wars for a long time, it is connected to Xiliang, rich in war horses, and has many warriors.Later Cao Cao was able to fight Yuan Shao because of the blessing of Xiliang's horses.

Zhuge nodded and said: "My lord, you can send a general to lead [-] elite soldiers to Wuguan. Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn can be busy with farming, and you can practice in your spare time. In addition, you can buy Xiliang war horses to fund your army."

"In this way, even if Cao Cao occupies Guanzhong, our army will not be attacked by the enemy."

Zhang Xiu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "That should be the case. I think Guan Long's tyrants have already started to kill Li Jue. There is no food in Guanzhong. Li Jue will be defeated sooner or later. I can let people let the wind out and attract some Xiliang troops to use for me. .”

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu hesitated and didn't know who to use as a general. After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu sighed and felt helpless. He had a lot of generals under his command, but he lacked the backbone.

It is necessary to recruit some mainstays.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiu squeezed her chin and pondered for a while. It is unrealistic to think about the imperial examination in this era, and the recommendation system is still based on the promotion of filial piety.

You can't get a champion of literature, but it shouldn't be difficult to get a champion of martial arts, so it's a good gimmick, for example, those who win the champion of martial arts can get positions every time.

In this way, on the one hand, it can attract heroes from all over the world to vote, and on the other hand, it will not bury the strong generals, and they can directly entrust them with important tasks, which can be regarded as elevating the status of some warriors, which is really a good deed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu chuckled and said: "Kong Ming, Wen He, do you think it is feasible to hold a martial arts competition in Jingzhou to recruit talents for Jingzhou?"
