Chapter 515

In the study, Liu Xiu sits at the top.

Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Kuai Liang and others sat at the bottom, and Deng Zhan was also one of them.

This time, Liu Xiu's face was solemn.

After seeing this, the expression on everyone's face had a dignified look, because Liu Xiu's posture, I'm afraid it's going to be a big fight.

Liu Xiu said, "please come here to discuss the next use of troops."

When they heard this, their faces were clear.

Liu Xiu continued: "after more than a year of recuperation, the strength of both Cao Cao and Sun Quan has developed. Under such circumstances, if we confine ourselves to Jingzhou, we will be waiting to die. If we want to further expand, then we can only start the war. Otherwise, the further we go, the more unfavorable it will be for us. "

After all, Cao Cao controls the north and has a stronger foundation. Once he is given enough time, he may go south again.

For Liu Xiu, he does not want to see such a situation.

As an old minister, Yi Ji also attaches great importance to Jiangdong, a neighbor. Yi Ji said in a deep voice: "Lord, the existence of Jiangdong has always hindered Jingzhou. I suggest that we seize Jiangdong and connect the land of Jiangnan. Then the Lord can take advantage of the situation to go north and fight with Cao Cao in one go. "

For Yi Ji, Cao Cao was the last thief, and he was sure to win.

Sun Quan's position in Jiangdong must be won.

If we want to win, we should win Jiangdong first.

Liu Xiu nodded slightly, but looked at other people.

Kuai Liang said: "my Lord, I think Jiangdong is just a skin disease, so I don't need to worry about it. Jiangdong is not a big threat to us. But Jiangdong's help to us is very important. "

"It's true that Jiangdong and Jingzhou are opposite, but Jiangdong and Jingzhou face Cao Cao at the same time."

"As long as Jiangdong exists, the front lines of Yangzhou and Xuzhou will contain Cao Cao's army and make Cao Cao dare not relax."

"Once we attack Jiangdong, we have to resist Cao Cao."

"Based on the current foundation of Jingzhou, it is unrealistic to maintain such a wide display and resist such a strong Cao Cao. Therefore, in the case of Cao Cao's great potential, Jiangdong can only suppress, not completely eliminate. "

Kuai Liang looked firm and said, "I suggest that we should unite with Jiangdong to fight against Cao Cao. No matter whether Jiangdong sends troops or not, we can go north to Nanyang County, seize the whole Nanyang County first, and then go straight to Xuchang. "

For this arrangement, Liu Xiu thought about it, there is a certain truth.

However, Liu Xiu once discussed with Pang Degong, and he has certain views on the situation.

If we attack Cao Cao in an all-round way, Liu Xiu is in a weak position. Whether it's food, or talent, or foundation, it's far from enough, or can't compare with Cao Cao.

Liu Xiu just nodded and didn't speak.

Kuai Liang's suggestion is better than that of Yi Ji, but it doesn't accord with his mind.

Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and Jia Xu, and only heard Pang Tong say: "my Lord, I think Mr. Zi Rou's analysis is reasonable, but it's not to attack Cao Cao, but to unite with Jiangdong to resist Cao Cao. At present, we only need to hold the Nanyang County boundary that has been occupied. The focus now should be to win a major rear area. "

Liu Xiu eyes a bright, way: "scholar yuan plan will settle?"

Pang Tong said slowly: "although Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, its land is fertile. Under the governance of the Lord, Jiaozhou has been able to provide certain food and military resources for the Lord. However, Jiaozhou is not developed enough to become a real rear area."

"So I suggest that it's time to capture Yizhou."

"As long as Yizhou is under the control of the Lord and Yizhou, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou are linked together, the Lord will control half of the country, not the North controlled by Cao Cao."

Pang Tong's eyes twinkled, and said: "emperor Gao Liu Bang came out of Hanzhong in the north, and finally had a fight with Xiang Yu. The Lord captured the land of Yizhou, and he also had the foundation to fight against Cao Cao. "

There was a smile on Liu Xiu's face. Pang Tong's analysis hit him right.

At present, it is the most appropriate to win Yizhou.

After the rest of the people heard this, they also suddenly realized.

Liu Zhang of Yizhou, in the west of Jingzhou, has always been ignorant and incompetent. If Liu Xiu does not take such a place, it will be heaven's fault instead of taking it.

Kuai Liang changed his words: "Shi Yuan's analysis is indeed reasonable, and his humble position agrees with it."

Yi Ji said: "although Jingzhou's four battle positions have been held, there is no strategic depth of retreat after all. He also agreed with Pang Junshi's analysis that he would capture Yizhou first and then attack Cao Cao. "

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said slowly, "my Lord, I agree with Mr. Pang's analysis. But before that, I think we should make an alliance with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. "

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a burst of discussion.

Liu Xiu also has a slight eyebrow jitter, which he did not consider.

Zhang Lu!

Liu Xiu thought rotation, asked: "why?"Jia Xu said: "the Lord's attack on Yizhou is like a fierce tiger coming out of the mountain. Let alone Zhang Lu, even Cao Cao would be shocked. Under such circumstances, Zhang Lu must be terrified. He is afraid that the Lord will point his soldiers at him after he has cleaned up Liu Zhang. "

"Therefore, before the Lord captured Yizhou, he must stabilize Zhang Lu."

"Otherwise, Zhang Lu directly attacked the Lord, or Zhang Lu turned to Cao Cao, which would add countless variables to the Lord's capture of Yizhou and make the situation more complicated."

Jia Xu said: "now we can stabilize Zhang Lu and form an alliance with Zhang Lu. On the one hand, we can strengthen Zhang Lu's determination to resist Cao Cao; on the other hand, we can agree to carve up Yizhou with Zhang Lu."

"There is a contradiction between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang. If the Lord attacks Liu Zhang, he will try his best to resist Cao Cao and help him attack Liu Zhang."

With a smile on his lips, Jia Xu said, "after the Lord has killed Liu Zhang, it's not easy to kill Zhang Lu."

Pang Tong caressed his hand and said, "wonderful, wonderful!"

Kuai Liang's eyes also twinkled with brilliance, and said: "this is the best way to save our troops."

Yi Ji said: "the plan of the military adviser Jia is really very resourceful."

After hearing this, the expression on people's faces was quite surprised.

One by one also thinks that this is the most appropriate strategy, which can save Jingzhou's troops to the greatest extent, attack Yizhou to the greatest extent, and resist the attack from Cao Cao.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the words of master Jia are indeed the tactics of a veteran."

"To attack Yizhou, make an alliance with Zhang Lu first."

"This battle, then began to prepare."

Liu Xiu's eyes fell on Kuai Liang and Yi Ji and said, "Kuai Liang and Yi Ji listen to orders."

"I'm in a humble position!"

They sat upright at the same time and listened to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said, "I want you two to prepare food and grass for the army immediately. At the same time, you two are still in the back guard."

"No!"

Kuai Liang and Yi Ji should go down. It's a convention for them to stay in town.

"Deng Zhan, listen to the order!"

Liu Xiu ordered again.

"I'm in a humble position!"

Deng Zhan stood up and saluted.

Liu Xiu said: "you should mobilize the soldiers of the royal guards to visit Zhang Lu in Hanzhong county and explain to him the will of our official to form an alliance with him. If he wants, I will meet you at the junction of Hanzhong and Nanyang. "

"No!"

Deng Zhan got the order and agreed.

Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu again and said, "Mr. Jia, you should immediately mobilize personnel and contact Fazheng, Zhang Song and others in Chengdu to explain what we are going to do. Let them be ready and listen to orders at any time."

"No!"

Jia Xu also bowed his hand.

Liu Xiu finally looked at Pang Tong and said, "Pang Army division, you mobilize your soldiers, contact Lu Su, the Third Army division stationed in Wuling County, and let them prepare to send troops near Yizhou."

"No!"

Pang Gong also bowed his hand.

If Liu Xiu wants to move Yizhou, it is impossible for an army to send troops.

The Third Army led by Zhao Yun and Lu Su had been stationed in Wuling County for many years, and they had been preparing for planning Yizhou. After all these years, it's time to make a move.

Both Zhao Yun and Lu Su are excellent talents.

Liu Xiu believed that he could enter Yizhou in a very short time.
