At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

At this time, Cai Yan was just like what Cai Yong said, she had lost a lot of weight in tears all day long!

"Sister, you are so sad, why don't you think of a way to notify Brother Liu Zhang?"

Little Cai Ling looked at her sister very puzzled. It has been more than a month, and her sister has been crying like this, and she has lost a lot of weight.

Cai Yan didn't seem to hear her sister's words, but just looked out the window with tears in her eyes.

Brother, what should I do!

Yan'er misses you so much! But Yan'er didn't want to embarrass his father, and he didn't want his brother to suffer because of Yan'er!

why! Why did God treat me like this!

"When the moon is closed, the flowers are ashamed and the flowers are resentful, while the fish and the geese are sad."

Cai Yan couldn't help but read the poem Liu Zhang wrote for him. Only thinking of Liu Zhang could make her feel a little better.

"Sister, who made this poem? This person must be beautiful!"

Cai Ling spoke nonsense, and suddenly woke up Cai Yan. She quickly took the bronze mirror and looked at herself in the mirror seriously.

Cai Yan suddenly turned pale with shock, how could she look pretty in the mirror?

The whole face is very thin, the bones are slightly exposed, very haggard.

Cai Yan suddenly smiled again, but it was a very miserable smile.

"Maybe, my brother doesn't like me like this..."

"Hehehehehe..."

Seeing her sister's crazy appearance, Cai Ling turned pale with shock.

"Sister, what's wrong with you! Don't scare me!"

"Sister, go tell your father and say I agree."

"Let's set off for Luoyang tomorrow."

Cai Yan looked at Cai Ling and shook her head slightly, she had already made a decision!

Although this decision made her miserable, she still chose to bear it by herself.

Because Cai Yan not only wanted to fulfill his father's reputation, but also didn't want to embarrass Liu Zhang.

After more than a month, Cai Yan finally chose to let herself regret for the rest of her life!

Liu Zhang didn't know about all this, he was still planning big things with the two counselors, and he was still happily waiting for Cai Yan to return to Beijing.

"Brother Gongda, I will go to Yizhou to develop in the future. I don't know where my brother's family is?"

Liu Zhang looked at Xun You with some embarrassment. He didn't want Xun You's family to go to Shu, but there was no other way.

Xun You immediately understood Liu Zhang's meaning and answered very happily.

"My lord, don't worry, Xun You's wife and mother are all in Luoyang, and the Xun family in Yingchuan has nothing to worry about."

Even so, Liu Zhang was very ashamed.

"It's really Liu Zhang's fault for letting brother leave his hometown!"

Xun You didn't care at all, but responded to Liu Zhang with a smile.

"My lord, you don't have to be like this. If you follow my lord's plan, it won't be long before I think about it, and I will be able to return to my hometown!"

"Hahaha, brother Gongda is really extraordinary!"

"With our concerted efforts, we will surely sweep away the troubled times and revive the great man!"

Although Liu Zhang looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Xun You is so understanding of the world that he is still taking care of Liu Zhang's emotions!

If it were really so simple to rule the world, there would not be hundreds of years of Spring and Autumn and Warring States!

"My lord."

"I have a question, I wonder if my lord can answer it?"

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Liu Zhang immediately put away his smile and nodded to him.

"Speaking!"

"Why did my lord choose the land of Yizhou?"

Xun You nodded inadvertently. In fact, he also had this question, but it was not appropriate for him to ask this question.

After all, it involved a long journey away from home. If he asked, it would inevitably make Liu Zhang feel that Xun You would not want to leave home.

Liu Zhang chuckled in his heart, and immediately understood what Jia Xu meant.

Ok, this is about to start testing me!

However, he already had a mature idea, and the choice of this base camp was not a hothead.

"First, the Yellow Turban Rebellion mainly occurred in Jizhou and nearby states and counties. The Hebei region in the Central Plains suffered greatly from it, and the people in the region must be exhausted."

"Secondly, apart from Your Majesty, the Yuan family in Runan is probably the most powerful in the world today! The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and its disciples and old officials are all over the Central Plains! If there is trouble, the Yuan family will definitely take advantage of the momentum, and the Central Plains and Hebei must be their goal. It would be unwise to compete with them in the Central Plains!"

"Thirdly, there are only Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou and Jiaozhou left in the world."

Xun You nodded: "That's right, let's not talk about Jiaozhou, why didn't my lord choose Jingzhou and Yangzhou?"

If he didn't have more than 2,000 years of historical experience, Liu Zhang might really have made him ask.

But it is a pity that he, who is familiar with history, is very clear about the hegemony mode in the cold weapon era.

Master the cavalry to gallop the world!

Liu Zhang doesn't know how to make gunpowder, otherwise he can go wherever he is rich!

His only advantage is knowing which way is the most correct way to fight for hegemony!

Liu Zhang directly applied Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Jingzhou.

"Jingzhou occupies Han Mian in the north, stretches the South China Sea, connects Wuhui in the east, and connects Bashu in the west. This is a place for military force."

"That's right, why didn't the lord choose?"

Liu Zhang smiled, stood up slowly, and said as he walked.

"It is true that it is a place of martial arts, but it is also a place of the Four Wars! If we use Jingzhou as our foundation, we will inevitably encounter enemies everywhere!"

"Moreover, Jingzhou's waters are complicated, and there is a natural moat in the Yangtze River. Non-naval forces cannot defend it!"

"The same is true for Yangzhou. Only a strong navy can control Jingyang! Of course, there is the most important reason."

"Everyone knows that there are boats in the south and horses in the north. There are no war horses in the south, and there are horses and plains in the Central Plains and Hebei. If there are no cavalry, how can we strive for hegemony?"

"Jingzhou and Yangzhou can only be divided into separate regimes. I, Liu Zhang, have great ambitions, how can I designate myself!"

Good ambition!

Jia Xu and Xun You praised in their hearts at the same time, based on this alone, Liu Zhang deserves their allegiance!

"This is also the reason why I occupied Liangzhou in the second step! The land of Yizhou, with dangerous roads and thousands of miles of fertile fields, is the land of abundance. To the west, you only need to guard the mouth of the Three Gorges, and Jingzhou's 100,000 soldiers cannot pass. To the north, guard Yangping Pass, Guanzhong soldiers and horses can only look at the pass and sigh!"

"At that time, we only need to solve the Nanman, and we can integrate Yizhou, station troops in Hanzhong, and go north to Liangzhou!"

Liu Zhang spoke passionately and generously, as if he had already prepared it in his chest.

Liu Zhang is very confident in his plan, combining more than 2,000 years of experience.

He also knows that the Central Plains and Hebei are much more prosperous than the northwest of Bashu, but there are too many variables to take root in the Central Plains and Hebei.

First of all, you have to face powerful enemies such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, and secondly, you have to face the dilemma of being surrounded by enemies, which is far worse than taking Liu Bang's old path.

According to Liu Zhang's knowledge of many top strategists in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the top strategic planners are Xun Yu, Lu Su and Zhuge Liang.

Xun Yu helped Cao Cao to unify the Central Plains, and Lu Su made a plan for Sun Quan to divide the world into two, which was earlier than Zhuge Liang's three-point world!

Needless to say, Zhuge Liang, helping Liu Bei across the country will benefit and achieve the emperor's career!

Xun You's historical record is that he is good at military strategy, probably marching and fighting for advice, and he has a very strong ability to fight.

Jia Xu is a military strategist, and both of them can be said to have exhaustive strategies, and they are subject to contingencies.

Whether the specific strategic planning ability is strong or not, and whether he has his own unique insights, Liu Zhang is not very sure.

"Gentlemen, what's wrong with my strategy?"

Liu Zhang is very confident in his heart. After Zhuge Liang lost Jingzhou, Liangzhou was his favorite place!

Xun You and Jia Xu fell into deep thought. The first choice in their hearts is definitely not the remote Yizhou.

Liu Zhang himself said that it must be very difficult to transport grain and grass in Yizhou, and if you are not careful, you will be trapped to death in Shu!

But looking at it from another angle, Liu Zhang's plan is already very detailed, and there is no big flaw in it.

As long as you follow the plan step by step, you can finally form a strategic goal!

"My lord, the biggest problem now is the first goal, to occupy Yizhou. Is it to be captured by force? Or what?"
