The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 18 Discussion on Lumen Mountain

The battle of Jiangxia and even the change of ownership of Jiangxia did not cause much impact in the whole country. After all, most people's eyes are still on the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. This is a war that determines the direction of history. Whoever wins can dominate the north. Become the greatest prince.

Since Sun Jian, in what year has Jiangdong not taught Liu Biao a lesson?The battles usually take place in Jiangxia. As long as Jiangdong can't win Jingzhou, they can only occupy Yangzhou, which is nothing to worry about.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising to the [-]th princes' fight against Dong Zhuo, after years of melee, the few major power bosses remaining in the world today are mainly as follows:
Yuan Shao who controlled Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou; Cao Cao who controlled Sili, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou; Sun Quan who occupied Yangzhou; Ma Teng and Han Sui who ruled Liangzhou; Jiaozhou Shixie.

Jiaozhou is a barren land, and Liangzhou is also barren. The territory controlled by Cao Cao is basically almost destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army. Now the population is larger, and the money and food are more abundant. Yizhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou that have not been affected by the war.

In fact, Yangzhou is not much developed. The most developed place is the Yellow River Basin, so Yuan Shao's strength is the greatest. Most people in the world are still optimistic about Yuan Shao. Even many civil and military officials under Cao Cao are not optimistic about their boss. Correspondence with Yuan Shao, so as to leave a way out for himself.

In Lumen Mountain, Pang Degong and Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, were discussing the general situation of the world with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others. This war also affected their hearts. If they don't serve as officials now, it doesn't mean they won't become officials in the future. It's just that they haven't made up their minds yet. Boss, after all you have learned a skill, who doesn’t want to put it to good use, who doesn’t want to become famous and leave a name in history?

However, in troubled times, you must be more careful when choosing a boss. If the boss you follow loses, you will also be unlucky. Maybe the whole family will be hit hard. In today's society, many nobles look at the family More important than the country.

"Kong Ming, who do you think Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will win in the end?" Sima Hui asked Zhuge with a smile.

"Sir, Liang thinks that although Yuan Shao is stronger than Cao Cao, it is impossible to defeat Cao Cao. Cao Cao coerced the emperor to make the princes, occupy the name of righteousness, and has more support from the family, and since Cao Cao broke the yellow scarf to challenge Dong Zhuo , has been fighting non-stop, and the soldiers under him are all elites who have experienced battles. There are many advisers and generals under his command, and Cao Cao uses his talents. Although Yuan Shao has many talents under his command, they are at odds with each other, intrigue, and Yuan Shao is indecisive. Therefore, Cao Cao is most likely to win."

"What do Shi Yuan think?" Duke Pang De asked Pang Tong again. Although several people present were his disciples, Pang Tong was his nephew after all.

"I think what brother Kong Ming said is very reasonable, but it is not easy for Cao Cao to win. It is precisely because of years of fighting, Cao Cao's territory is barren and there are few people, and there is insufficient food and grass. The battle is decided quickly. If Yuan Shao fights steadily and advances step by step, Cao Cao can only retreat to Xuchang in the end, shrink the defensive range, and wait for Yuan Shao to make mistakes before he has a chance to win."

Pang De Company and Sima Hui were very satisfied with the analysis of the two of them, and the analysis was basically very thorough. The two of them had indeed learned the essence.

At this time, Xu Shu said: "There are not only Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the world, but also Jiangdong Sun Quan and our Jingzhou Liuzhou Mu. Isn't it doomed to lose?"

Kong Ming shook the newly made feather fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanzhi has considered it very carefully. However, Sun Quan from Jiangdong has just succeeded to the throne, and Sun Ce has killed too many people. I am afraid that the people's hearts have not yet returned, and the Shanyue tribe in the rear has not been pacified. I'm afraid that It was inconvenient to send troops. Moreover, Sun Ce also intended to attack Xuchang that year, but Xu Gong informed him. Although Xu Gong was killed by Sun Ce, Cao Cao must have been on guard. Although the water battle of the Jiangdong army was fierce, they had to go ashore to fight Cao Cao's elite infantry. I'm afraid I won't be able to take advantage of it."

Zhuge Liang paused for a while, seeing Mr. Pang De, Sima Hui and others showing approval to him, he waved his fan and said confidently: "As for our state shepherd, he is no longer the wise man he was when he entered Jingzhou with a horse. Martial, ambitious, in recent years, greedy for enjoyment, nepotism, just want to guard his own one-acre three-point land to live, and after Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, Wancheng and the whole Nanyang fell into Cao Cao's hands, how could Liu Biao send troops Sneak attack on Xuchang."

Xu Shu laughed loudly and said: "Kong Ming is worthy of being a 'Wolong', he has such a clear view of the general situation of the world, but in this way, if Cao Cao wins, he will integrate the entire north, and he will own seven of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. Zhou Jiasili, there will be no one in the world, brother Kong Ming's great revenge may not be avenged!"

"Cao Cao was born as an eunuch, and he committed many atrocities. He killed Bian Rang and other famous people, massacred the people of Xuzhou, and oppressed the emperor. The death of Dong Zhuo will be repeated, even if it is powerful for a while, it will not help. Gaozu used the strength of Peixian to overthrow Qin Qin, defeated Xiang Yu, and established the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty."

Zhuge Liang was born in Langya County, Xuzhou. At that time, two generals who were thieves under Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou killed Cao Cao's father, younger brother and other family members for money. Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in a rage. resist.Zhuge Liang saw with his own eyes that his father, fellow villagers, relatives and friends were killed by Cao Cao, and he hated Cao Cao deeply.

If Cao Cao hadn't massacred the people of Xuzhou, maybe Zhuge Liang would have defected to Cao Cao. After all, among the few princes who hoped to end the war and rule the world at that time, Cao Cao's victory was the greatest, and Cao Cao still held in his hand. The biggest card of the Son of Heaven.

It has been nearly 400 years since the Great Han Emperor Liu Bang cut the White Snake Uprising, and was rejuvenated by Liu Xiuguangwu in the middle. Although it is now in chaos, most of the people and gentry still recognize the Han Dynasty.But after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, smart people knew that the Han Dynasty was coming to an end, and whoever could unify the north first would be most likely to create a new dynasty.

There is a great opportunity in this, especially those who have learned all the skills, who would not want to help a wise king, display what they have learned in their hearts, be a hero who founded the country and leave a name in history at the same time!

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang knew that he couldn't take refuge in Cao Cao. Not to mention Cao Cao's atrocities in massacring Xuzhou, Cao Cao actually has no shortage of talents at all. Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, etc. are no better than Zhuge Liang. Worse, if he goes to Cao Cao, he can only slowly gain qualifications.
