The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 42
Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, "What does Yuan Zhi mean?"

"This battle is inevitable, but the definition of this battle determines the direction of the world. My lord thinks what this battle should be like." Xu Shu looked at Zhang Xiu and said.

"Well, Nanyang is Cao Cao's rear, so it can be said that it is like a light on the back, and I want to take Jingzhou to defeat Cao Cao, so this battle is either me or Cao's death!"

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment and said.

"Hehe, I think that this battle can be defined as a battle for peace, rather than a loss for both sides."

"Let's think about it, my lord. Cao Cao sits in the Central Plains, with Yuan Shao and the tiger in the north, Yuan Shu and Langgu in the south, and Lu Bu, a hungry tiger in the east, plus my lord."

"It can be said that Cao Cao is already besieged on all sides. He is more worried and anxious than us, because he can't afford it. Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and his ilk are nothing more than that, but Yuan Shao in Jizhou will destroy Gongsun within three years."

"At that time, Cao Cao will face Yuan Shao head-on. Yuan Shao sits in the land of nearly four states and has millions of armies, so Cao Cao needs more time than us. And the lord wants to take Jingzhou, which is very different from Cao Cao."

"That's why I decided this battle to be a peace negotiation."

Xu Shu talked broadly.

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed brightly, as if it was true.In history, Cao Cao frantically assembled and eliminated the other princes before Guandu, because his situation was more dangerous than anyone else.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't speak, Xu Shu said again: "If my lord defines it as a life-and-death battle, dare I ask if my lord can defeat Cao Cao within half a year? Or can Cao Cao defeat my lord within half a year?"

"I don't think so. My lord sits back and waits for work. If you are united as one, even if Cao Cao's soldiers are strong and brave, it will be difficult to defeat the lord in a short time. Similarly, even if the lord has a good army and sufficient food, it is impossible for the lord to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop."

"What's more, even if the lord wins by chance, there will be a hundred harms and no benefits."

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Xiu was listening seriously, but couldn't help but ask.

"Yanzhou has been dilapidated and dilapidated after a long period of war. And Yuzhou Yingchuan has many families, so it is really difficult to control. If the master gets these two places, firstly, it will be difficult to restrain the master's development, and secondly, the master will face Yuan Shao directly."

"Once Yuan Shao eradicates Gongsun Zan, he will definitely send his troops south. How can the lord fight against him? I'm afraid that the famous people in Yuzhou will rise up to welcome Yuan Shao!"

Xu Shu said solemnly.

Zhang Xiu nodded involuntarily, and then said in a trance: "Yuan Zhi, what you mean is that we should not fight to the death with Cao Cao, but negotiate a peace through war, so that he can retreat to attack Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others? Confront Yuan Shao."

"And our army can wait for the opportunity to annex Jingzhou, so as to sit back and watch the changes?"

"Exactly, according to Shu's deduction, it will take three years sooner or five years sooner. There will be a battle between Cao and Yuan. In this battle, Cao will lose and Yuan Shao will win."

"During this period, my lord can make early plans. I think that after the Jingxiang seven counties are stabilized, the troops can be divided into two groups.

All the way to the west to advance in Yizhou, Yizhou Mu Liuzhang is weak and incompetent, sitting in the land of abundance but letting Zhang Lu do nothing, presumably people with lofty ideals will be the first to agree with each other.

The other way goes down the river to take Yangzhou. Yangzhou is full of wars and chaos, and it is difficult to become a climate, but it can be defeated in one battle.

In this way, if Cao Cao is defeated, the Lord and Yuan Shao can rule from the north to the south with the Qinling and Huai Rivers as the boundary. "

"At that time, troops can be sent to take Guanzhong and Yongliang, so that the world can be divided into two. When the time is right, troops can be sent from Guanzhong, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou to attack Yuan Shao together, or the world can be decided."

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he bowed and clasped his fists.

Zhang Xiu listened carefully. Xu Shu was indeed a great talent. Although he was not as good as Zhuge Liang, he had an insight into the world.

Although there were some flaws, they were not flaws, because few people would have thought that Cao Cao would win before the battle, and this was where Xu Shu's deduction was wrong.

Of course, what he said earlier is reasonable, and the fierce battle in the spring of next year may not be called a decisive battle.In this battle, whoever wins will have the initiative to negotiate a peace.

Beside him, Huang Zhong fell into deep thought, this fellow seems to have something, and he is not someone who is just trying to catch fame.At least these strategic directions are not too problematic.

"Yuan Zhi's words are comparable to fine nectar and jade wine. It's refreshing! When talking and laughing, he divides the world into two parts. He should be a talent who knows the world." Zhang Xiu said without hesitating words of praise.

"My lord is absurdly praised, and I don't dare to take it."

Xu Shu had a smile in his heart, which was a kind of recognition.

"Yuanzhi, you should act as a meritorious service!" Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said.

"No, my lord. The meritorious service is the assistant official of the governor of a state. My lord should avoid one or two taboos, so as not to be taken advantage of by treacherous villains." Xu Shu said anxiously, full of gratitude.

"That's true, then you will act as the chief bookkeeper, share my worries and problems, and assist Jia Xu in handling government affairs in various places within ten days." Zhang Xiu turned and said.

"Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation,"

Xu Shu's face showed excitement, although he was only a master bookkeeper, this was the biggest official position that Zhang Xiu could assign so far.

"Okay, it's getting late, hurry up and set off, hoping to return to Xinye before nightfall."

Then, a group of dozens of riders galloped to Xinye.

…………

As night falls, the sky darkens,
The group took a step slower than going to Xiangyang.

The closed city gate slowly opened, and the sound of horseshoes became even more noisy in the night, breaking the sound of summer insects singing together.

After arranging Xu Shu's residence, Zhang Xiu went straight back to the room
Back in the room, Zhang Xiu didn't stop. A few days ago, the three armies fought against Yingyin and Xuchang, and then he went to Wancheng to resettle tens of thousands of people. Then when he arrived in Xinye, he didn't stop without warming his bed. Rush to Jingzhou.

So much so that it has not yet been rewarded for merit!
These are Zhang Xiu's promises, if they don't fulfill them, how can they convince the public.

Thinking of this, he picked up a pen to record, and took out the doll that was about to fall out of the system.

These dolls are all high-end goods, and each of them should not be too good-looking. The key point is that the little faces are also the faces of celebrities and actresses. Many of them are familiar to the teacher himself.

Zhang Xiu was a little curious. She hadn't used this thing before, so she took one and started blowing.

However, a little while passed.

Zhang Xiu is a little skeptical about life, this girl is too hard to brag about, right?I was almost blown to death, almost to the point of doubting my life, and the oxygen supply to the brain was almost blown to death.

After another while, Zhang Xiu's face turned red, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Looking at his masterpiece, he curled his lips and murmured: "It's better for these bastards."

In addition to "Mei Ji", Zhang Xiu sent people to prepare dozens of sheep, hundreds of chickens, and some game.As for the wine, hundreds of altars were also prepared, which can be said to be a big deal.

What a blessing it is to be able to eat meat and drink wine in this era.

As for coke and spicy sticks, Zhang Xiu has also prepared some, but there are not many, so I have to keep them for myself.There is no way, my own ghost system will not send tasks anymore, so I have to save some use.

After finishing these, Zhang Xiu took a cold bath and fell asleep.
