One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 164 Two birds with one stone

"I plan to combine the middle strategy and the best strategy into one and use them together."

As soon as Qin Yi's words came out, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun were both stunned for a moment, and the two exchanged glances, then Xu Huang asked Qin Yi: "Tianyu, do you want to contact other forces to fight against the cattle while expanding your troops and preparing for war?" auxiliary?"

Qin Yi nodded and said: "Even if Niu Fu doesn't come to Bingzhou, we still have to expand our troops. Otherwise, we will have to stay in Lu County. With just a thousand of us now, let alone develop our grand plans, maybe we can At some point, we will be eaten by others. Therefore, it is inevitable to expand our troops and prepare for war."

After a short pause, Qin Yi continued: "But Niu Fu doesn't leave us much time after all. We are too busy to form a large enough army to fight against him. Therefore, it is imperative to unite with other forces. ."

"Then... who is Brother Qin planning to form an alliance with?" Zhao Yun asked.

Qin Yi smiled playfully: "You two might as well make a guess."

Xu Huang immediately said: "Don't guess, it must be Cao Cao. You have saved his life and have always had a deep friendship with him. He has no reason not to help us."

Zhao Yun also said: "Cao Mengde is a man with great ambitions. After he goes to Yanzhou, he will definitely expand the army immediately. He is a trustworthy and good ally."

Qin Yi thought to himself: Cao Cao is indeed trustworthy now, but after he can, it will be difficult to say.

Xu Huang thought for a while and suddenly shook his head: "But, Cao Cao is a new official after all. When the time comes, there is no guarantee whether he can spare his troops to help us!"

"Haha, I didn't think I would only ask Cao Cao for help." Qin Yi laughed.

Xu Huang frowned: "Do you still want to ask others for help? But apart from Cao Cao, I really can't think of anyone else who can make us feel safe to form an alliance."

Zhao Yun also stared at Qin Yi with probing eyes, waiting for Qin Yi to explain.

Qin Yi didn't say anything, but just raised his hand and pointed to the south.

"South?" Xu Huang thought for a while, then immediately stared wide-eyed, and said in astonishment: "Tian Yu, you don't want to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, do you? He is not a good bird!"

Qin Yi said: "I don't want to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, I just want to mention him."

"Remind me? Yuan Shu still needs you to remind me?" Xu Huang's eyes also became playful, as if to say, Qin Tianyu, please put yourself in a position, you are a small county magistrate, you still go Mention Yuan Shu as a state shepherd?What kind of onion are you!

"Brother Qin, why do you want to mention Yuan Shu?" Zhao Yun asked.

Qin Yi played tricks: "You two, before answering this question, let me ask you a question. Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, who do you think can control a state as soon as possible?"

"It must be Yuan Shu!" Xu Huang said without thinking.

"What's the reason?" Qin Yi asked.

Xu Huang said: "Although Cao Cao was the governor of Yanzhou, his previous official position was low and his reputation was not enough, and some people have always criticized Cao Cao's origin. The governor of Yanzhou was originally Liu Dai. Although Liu Dai is dead, the prefects of the counties in Yanzhou may not know Immediately obey Cao Cao's orders."

Zhao Yun answered: "Brother Gongming is right. Compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu was a post general and a prefect of a county before he attacked Dong Zhuo. He was born in the Yuan family in Runan, and his family reputation was unparalleled in the Han Dynasty. He took office in Yuzhou Mu, he will be able to control Yuzhou easily."

"Then let me guess what Yuan Shu will do after taking control of Yuzhou?"

Xu Huang and Zhao Yun pondered for a while, then Xu Huang said: "Yuan Shu is a man of great ambition and talent, and he is very happy with his achievements. He will definitely attack other states and counties to expand his power."

Seeing that Zhao Yun seemed to agree with Xu Huang's guess, Qin Yi said, "Let's take a guess, that Zilong. Which prefecture is most likely to be attacked by Yuan Shu?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to guess. It is said that since Yuan Shu was entrusted with the responsibility of supervising Yuzhou and Yangzhou by the emperor of Yecheng, after Yuan Shu took control of Yuzhou, he would definitely get involved in Yangzhou. But Jingzhou is also adjacent to Yuzhou, and it is rich and prosperous. Yuan Shu may attack Jingzhou first."

At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly slapped his thigh: "By the way, I also found out some news, but I forgot to mention it."

Qin Yi immediately asked, "What's the news?"

"Dong Zhuo has declared that Liu Biao is the shepherd of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao has set off from Chang'an to Jingzhou to take up his post."

"It turns out that Liu Biao was the shepherd of Jingzhou at this time!" Qin Yi subconsciously said.

Xu Huang and Zhao Yun were stunned for a moment, and Zhao Yun asked, "What does Brother Qin mean by that?"

Qin Yi realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly came up with a reason and said: "It's nothing, I heard Cai Zhonglang say that Liu Biao tried his best to curry favor with Dong Zhuo, and wanted to get the job of Jingzhou Shepherd. I didn't expect him to get it."

Qin Yi was naturally lying.He used to watch "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he only knew that Jingzhou was once Liu Biao's territory, but he didn't know when Liu Biao became the lord of Jingzhou.It is purely Qin Yi's rumor that Liu Biao flattered Dong Zhuo.

After casually perfunctory, Qin Yi immediately changed the topic and said: "Then you two might as well guess again. If I tell Yuan Shu that the Baibo Army wants to occupy Yongzhou, will Yuan Shu attack other states first?"

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun's eyes lit up.Immediately, Zhao Yun said: "Yuan Shu will definitely send troops to occupy the important areas first to prevent the Baibo army from going south."

"Why?" Qin Yi continued to ask, his gaze towards Zhao Yun had become extremely appreciative.

Zhao Yundao: "I didn't list Yongzhou as the target of Yuan Shu's attack before, because Yongzhou is almost a white land, and it is like a chicken rib to Yuan Shu. It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to abandon it. But if Yuan Shu learns that the Baibo army wants to occupy Yongzhou, You will not think that Yongzhou is tasteless. If Yongzhou is occupied by the Baibo army, it will become a big stone on Yuan Shu's head. The Baibo army may attack Yuzhou at any time. Therefore, Yuan Shu will definitely send troops to Yongzhou to block the Baibo army. Outside Yongzhou."

"Hiss—" At this point, Zhao Yun suddenly took a breath.After a short pause, he immediately said: "I understand Brother Qin's intentions. You want to use a knife to kill people and use Yuan Shu to block the Baibo army. If the Baibo army cannot occupy Yongzhou, they will not be recruited by the Chang'an court. In this way, if Niu Fu comes to Bingzhou, They will also fight the Baibo Army."

"Hahaha, Zilong really has Linglong's thoughts, and he has already guessed half of Qin's thoughts."

"You only got half of it right? Then what's your other half thinking?" Xu Huang asked immediately.

Qin Yi said: "In fact, if the Baibo army really wants to take refuge in the Chang'an court, they can accept the recruitment without going to Yongzhou. However, it is unlikely that this assumption will come true. We have already deduced before that the Baibo army will never sincerely seek refuge in the Chang'an court. , They just want to borrow a name and become a helper in the struggle for world hegemony."

After a short pause, Qin Yi continued: "Therefore, I told Yuan Shu about the movements of the Baibo army. It is not only killing people with a sword, but also killing two birds with one stone. I not only want to borrow Yuan Shu's sword, but also the Baibo army's sword. They are the obstacles that prevent Niu Fu from entering Bingzhou. Even if Niu Fu defeats Yuan Shu and enters Bingzhou, the Baibo army will continue to block the way."

Having said that, Qin Yi's eyes became bright. "Think about it, Niu Fu fought all the way, how many troops will he have left when he reaches Bingzhou? At that time, Cao Cao will send some troops to help us, and he will be able to drive Niu Fu back to Chang'an!"

After hearing all Qin Yi's thoughts, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang were stunned for a long time before recovering.

"Tian Yu, how did your head grow? You can get such a big benefit in exchange for just telling Yuan Shu a little information!" Xu Huang had an incredible expression on his face.

"That's right, brother Qin's scheme is really superb!" Zhao Yun also said with admiration.

"Hahaha, I just took advantage of Yuan Shu's great enthusiasm for success. It's a trivial skill!"
