Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 522: Fighting to Support Fighting, Fighting to Get Stronger

"Kong Ming, how can you be so rude! My lord, please forgive me, Kong Ming is too young to know the general idea, so he uttered wild words!"

After Zhuge Jin heard Zhuge Liang's words, she couldn't help admonishing Zhuge Liang with a slightly changed expression, but then she pleaded with Zhu Wei on Zhuge Liang's behalf, very worried that Zhu Wei would blame Zhuge Liang for this.

And Zhuge Jun on the side also looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise. Originally, he was very rewarded listening to Zhuge Jin's words, and felt that he could learn something, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to say such words suddenly, even if it was He also felt that Zhuge Liang was taking things for granted.

Only Xu Shu, who was familiar with Zhuge Liang, just smiled and said nothing. He was very clear about Zhuge Liang's weird preferences. other people.

Zhuge Liang also looked at Zhu Wei with a faint smile. Although Zhuge Liang did not have the attitude of fighting Confucianism in the Sun Quan deliberation hall of the Eastern Wu at this time, he still had the attitude of being brave to the king and the lord.

"Ziyu, don't worry, haha, your second brother, Wei has already heard it many times from Yuan Zhi, what he said just now must be a joke! Kong Ming, let's talk about what you really think!"

Of course, Zhu Wei is also very familiar with Zhuge Liang's tricks. In fact, he also likes to play this move very much. Unfortunately, now he will not be fooled by Zhuge Liang's head start.

Therefore, Zhu Wei just looked at Zhuge Liang indifferently, waiting for him to continue to speak words that could impress him, but looking at the young Zhuge Liang now, Zhu Wei felt that he seemed to be able to stand in a superior position, quietly waiting for Zhuge Liang Pretentious.

"No, this is what Liang thought! Qian Tanghou was worried about the tyranny of the Central Plains heroes, so he planned to live in the south, sit and watch the struggle, and benefit the fisherman. But Qian Tanghou didn't know, Fighting may weaken the enemy and weaken oneself, but it can also support the fighting, and the more you fight, the stronger you become. Qian Tanghou used to be able to strengthen his army by a little bit after each battle, but it was weakened by the war? Today in the Central Plains, Yuan Shu seems to have a mighty army, but in fact it is a false pretense. The so-called general is the soul of an army. Defeated by Lu Bu of Xuzhou! It can be seen that although Yuan Shu is strong, he is actually weak! If you sit and watch Cao Cao fight with him, you will be like cutting flesh with a sharp knife. It will not weaken Cao Cao's power, but will make Cao Cao's sword more powerful point!"

Zhuge Liang seemed to have studied and understood Yuan Shu's situation, so he could see Yuan Shu's reality at a glance. Obviously, in his opinion, if Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fought, it would not necessarily be a loss for both sides, but it might make Cao Cao stronger.

It's like Zhu Wei attacked Jingbei, but now he has annexed many of Liu Biao's troops, allowing his army to increase instead of decrease.

It can be seen from this that wars sometimes do not necessarily kill one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred. That can only happen when two tigers are really fighting each other, but if one side is a tiger and the other is a cat, then how can the tiger be injured.

Having said this, Zhuge Liang continued to speak, "Now that Marquis Qian Tang is very powerful, even if he hides his clumsiness, it will be difficult for Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao not to be afraid. The rich Marquis Tang is standing beside him, as cunning as Cao Cao. How could wolves send troops at will? Even if Marquis Qian Tang wanted to conspire in Yizhou and Hanzhong, he could not eliminate the threat Qian Tanghou posed to the Central Plains. Therefore, Liang thought that instead of acting as a spectator, it would be better to extend his hand generously! As for Yizhou, Hanzhong and other places, it may not be easy for the Marquis of Qian Tang to take it now. Even if he takes it, he can't make up for it for a while, but he needs to divide his troops to defend it. Money and food are really tasteless!"

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Zhu Wei was really moved by the truth he said. Looking back carefully at the original history, Cao Cao didn't seem to spend much effort in beating Yuan Shu.

So Yuan Shu's seemingly strong money, food, capital and hundreds of thousands of troops, are they all decorations?
It seems that the history and romances that Zhu Wei knew did not introduce this aspect in detail. It seems that Yuan Shu was extravagant and extravagant. He spent a lot of money to build palaces and palaces in Shouchun, so he consumed a lot of reserves. .

But at this time, after Sun Ce announced his separation from Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu lost the grain-producing lands of Jiangdong and Guangling counties.

Then Yuan Shu was defeated by Lv Bu and Cao Cao twice, and was plundered by Lv Bu and Cao Cao in Huaibei and Huainan again, so there was really not much left.

As a result, Yuan Shu's luck was really bad afterwards. It could be regarded as a leaky house, rainy nights, and a shipwrecked headwind. However, Huainan, Yuan Shu's core site, suffered a severe drought and famine. Can't be satisfied, many soldiers are hungry.

So even Lei Bo and Chen Lan, Yuan Shu's generals, led their troops to rebel, looted some food and grass, and went to the mountains to become kings of the mountains. This shows Yuan Shu's downfall.

After that, Yuan Shu wanted to go to the north to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to stop him in Xuzhou. In the end, Yuan Shu had no choice but to seek refuge with the rebel generals Lei Bo and Chen Lan.

It can be seen from this that Cao Cao did not suffer much loss when he beat Yuan Shu, but instead gained a lot of territory, and at the same time he should have also obtained many soldiers from Yuan Shu.

Then Cao Cao attacked all over the Central Plains, conquered Lv Bu in Xuzhou in the east, and surrendered a large number of Lv Bu's generals. Duan Yan and Li Jue, the Northwest Warlords left by Dong Zhuo, subdued Han Sui and Ma Teng in the name of the Son of Heaven, and thus also controlled the Guanzhong area, and their strength gradually increased to a situation where they could compete with Yuan Shao in the north.

And if Zhu Wei still followed the original strategy to attack Yizhou and Hanzhong first, not to mention that it would take time and troops to attack these places, even if they were defeated, he would have to send troops to guard them. Indeed, as Zhuge Liang said, for a while If you don't get any benefits, it will disperse Zhu Wei's troops.

But if Cao Cao occupies the land of the Central Plains, the background of the war will be greatly enhanced, and if the land of the Central Plains is united, Cao Cao's troops will also be gathered together, and they can gather troops to fight at any time.

Comparing it this way, Zhu Wei seems to really have the intention of making the tiger bigger. Will it be too big in the end?

It is estimated that Yuan Shao in the north also got the false name of a great general given by Cao Cao, and the benefits of the governor of Ji, Qing, You, and the four states, and allowed Cao Cao to grow in the Central Plains.

So these are historical lessons worth learning from.

Now it seems that it is better to put aside the unthreatening forces of Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in Yizhou and Hanzhong for the time being, and concentrate on directly joining the battle for the Central Plains. The strength is not considered weak, so if Zhu Wei joins the battle for the Central Plains now, he may not lose in the end.

As long as Zhu Wei can seize the Central Plains, his strength in the late Eastern Han Dynasty can really be seen in all directions...

　Uh, although there is more nonsense, although there is more water, there are still some rice grains in it!Hey hey hey!
