Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 198 Zhu Wei's Strategic Policy

Thinking about it now, Zhu Wei couldn't help suspecting that Wang Lang asked Donghai's family for money in order to increase the military strength of Kuaiji. It is very likely that he had already discovered the threat from Zhu Zhi, so he wanted to recruit and train troops in Kuaiji.

After all, Wang Lang has military adviser Yu Fan and general Zhou Xin under his command. They are equipped with both civil and military skills, and they can actually develop in Kuaiji. It's just that Wang Lang doesn't have any ambitions. The type to be a courtier to others.

When Zhu Wei went to see Wang Lang, he also wanted to help Wang Lang conscript and train soldiers, and guard against Zhu Zhi. It was best to eliminate Zhu Zhi's hidden danger.

In fact, in Zhu Wei's capacity now, it is really not easy to mess around in Jiangdong for the time being. If Zhu Wei mobilizes troops in Jiangdong, the first person he will face is Liu Yao, and he will commit crimes against the superior, and he will repay virtue with resentment, which will not be good in reputation.

After all, Zhu Wei relied on Liu Yao to raise his troops. Liu Yao is Zhu Wei's benefactor. As long as Liu Yao didn't kill himself, then Zhu Wei couldn't take the initiative to attack him, otherwise Zhu Wei's reputation would be ruined. up.

Fame these days is the capital to attract talents.

So what Zhu Wei can do in Jiangdong is to make allies as much as possible, which can be regarded as making friends in Jiangdong.

In fact, people like Liu Yao, Xu Gong, and Wang Lang in Jiangdong have no ambitions or abilities. At most, they are just land slaves. Letting them be in Jiangdong will not pose much threat to Zhu Wei. Zhu Wei really doesn't worry about them. Can grow and develop.

But if Sun Ce was allowed to enter Jiangdong, it would be Monkey Sun entering the Peach Garden.

Then Zhu Wei will definitely beat Sun Ce to the ground at the first time, and must not let Sun Ce develop, but in this way, Zhu Wei also has to spend a lot of time and energy to deal with Sun Ce.

Now time is also very critical for Zhu Wei. It is in the initial stage, and it takes time to stabilize the foundation and develop domestic demand.

Only when the foundation is solid can Zhu Wei have enough capital to develop outward and compete for more territory.

Of course, if Sun Ce really breaks into Jiangdong, it may also be an opportunity for Zhu Wei to seize Jiangdong. After all, the current Zhu Wei is not the Zhu Wei who just took control of this body. Now Zhu Wei has soldiers, generals, and peace. Sun Ce's courage in the first battle.

But in this way, it also disrupted Zhu Wei's original strategy of conquering the world with Wang Yuyan. Who made Zhu Wei really dare not underestimate Sun Ce? It's a pity that he failed to burn Sun Ce to death in Liyang before.

So no matter what the plan is, it is more appropriate not to let Sun Ce enter Jiangdong, so that Zhu Wei can follow the original strategic policy and after strengthening his foundation, wait for an opportunity to invade and expand his territory in Jingzhou.

After all, Jingzhou is more strategic than Jiangdong.

If you seize Jingzhou, you can open the passage to Guanzhong through Nanyang County. Maybe you can get Han Xiandi to Xiangyang before Cao Cao, and then take the emperor to order the princes.

In addition, after taking Jingzhou, it is also close to Yingchuan County in Yuzhou and Chenliu County in Gunzhou. These two places are the birthplace of talents in the Central Plains.

Anyway, according to Zhu Wei's original strategic policy, Zhu Wei may temporarily form an alliance with Liu Bei and Lu Bu in Xuzhou to deal with Cao Cao first, and after Cao Cao is dealt with, he can deal with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao in the north.

Or Zhu Wei can join forces with Liu Bei and Lu Bu to restrict Cao Cao's development, take the opportunity to turn around and take Yizhou. Anyway, this is also a feasible strategic arrangement in the general direction.

Compared with the whole world, Jiangdong is actually not a valuable territory.

Besides, Zhu Wei's foundation is in Yuzhang, and he has already passed the natural danger of the Yangtze River. If there is a foundation outside, taking Jiangdong is nothing more than a sweep, and he can even defeat others without fighting.

It's just that the premise of all this is that Sun Ce cannot win Jiangdong.

In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang met Liu Bei, and at the time of the so-called Longzhong confrontation, he pointed out to Liu Bei the strategy of dividing the world into three parts.

That is to say, let Liu Bei take Jingzhou as his foundation first, and then seize Yizhou, which will have the basis for fighting for the world.

In fact, the so-called Longzhong Opposition is that Liu Bei is at a loss for future development and has no sense of direction, but Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei point out possible development strategies and steps for how to develop.

At the same time, the premise of this Longzhong match is that Jiangdong has been separatized by Sun Quan, and it is impossible for Liu Bei to take Jiangdong, and the north is where Cao Cao's family is powerful, and Liu Bei has no way to covet it for the time being.

Therefore, the only place where Liu Bei has a chance is Jingzhou, which has no successors under Liu Biao's control, and Yizhou, which has no development ambitions and unstable people's hearts under Liu Zhang's control.

In this aspect, we really have to admire Zhuge Liang's overall view. He is quite accurate in judging the capabilities of these local warlords in the world. That is to say, the best development strategy for Liu Bei can only be three points first. The world, and then seek unification.

However, the current situation in the world that Zhu Wei is facing is still a situation of disputes between the heroes of the world.

In the Central Plains, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are still powerful. With the background of the four generations and three lords, they are supported by the gentry class in the Central Plains, and they have enough background to replace the Han Dynasty and establish a new dynasty. It is a pity that neither of them is a hero. In the end, he lost his family business.

Others such as Cao Cao can only be regarded as second-rate warlords. Although they have obtained the 30 population provided by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and rely on their advisors and generals, they have their own stable territory, but they can only be said to have certain development potential. Compared with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's background.

As for Liu Bei and Lu Bu, they are just small fish and small shrimps. Even if they are divided into one side, they seem to have some territory, but they have no profound foundation, and they will be overturned as easily as duckweed.

At this time, Jiangdong was still separated from Liu Yao, Xu Gong, and Wang Lang. Of course, Zhu Wei has been added now. Although everyone is attached to Liu Yao on the surface, they are actually local warlords one by one. .

As for Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou, although they also occupy two good sites that can be used as foundations, neither of them has the heart to conquer the world. On the surface, they can be regarded as great warlords who rule one side, but in fact they are placed in front of the world's heroes of two big fish.

Other Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng, Zhang Lu, Zhang Xiu, and even Li Jue and Guo Si are not enough to talk about. Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng are located in the two frontiers of Youzhou and Liangzhou. Although they have some strong soldiers, Unfortunately, the future has no future.

Zhang Lu is only entrenched in Hanzhong by relying on the religious power of the Five Dou Rice Sect, and has no intention of developing outwards. The combat effectiveness of his army may not even be comparable to Ruo Rong's Buddhist soldiers. When the army arrives in the future, it will naturally fall apart. .

And Zhang Xiu is still hanging out in Chang'an with his uncle Zhang Ji. Later, with the return of the Han Emperor to the east, Zhang Ji couldn't stay in Chang'an anymore, and he also marched eastward, but because of the lack of food in the army, he sent troops to Nanyang to plunder. , When he attacked Rangcheng, he died in battle.

As a result, Zhang Xiu inherited Zhang Ji's power, and finally attached to Liu Biao, stationed in Wancheng to support the army, but in fact, he was only helping Liu Biao defend the northern Cao Cao in Wancheng.

In fact, Zhang Xiu's status in Wancheng is similar to that of Huang Zu who is now entrenched in Jiangxia. The only thing is that Zhang Xiu has counselor Jia Xu to help him make suggestions, and finally chose a better master Cao Cao for him.

As for Li Jue and Guo Si, the rebels in the northwest, that is, the grasshoppers after autumn, they can't jump for long.

Zhu Wei, who is well aware of the history of the original Three Kingdoms, can of course look at the current situation in the world with a perspective beyond the times, and formulate a clear strategic policy for himself...
