Chapter 567 The Difference Between Buying Grain and Borrowing Grain

The lord Tian Zong is heroic, not inferior to his former status, and Cao Cao's generals are no more than average, they are not Han and Bai generals, and they are definitely not the lord's opponents if they are fighting in the battlefield. "

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "However, this person is persevering, he is a hero who can bend and stretch, and is indomitable. It is easy to defeat and difficult to destroy. This is why the lord obviously attaches great importance to Cao Cao, but he has never been good at using weapons. .”

"Instead of acting rashly, it is better to make a decision before making a move. If you want to make a move, you should have done your best!"

Wang Zheng glanced at Guo Jia appreciatively, and nodded slightly: "Those who know me will be filial piety!"

Turning his gaze to Mi Heng, he asked, "Lu Su judged that Yuan Shao must be the final victor of the northern princes, while Feng Xiao thinks that Cao Yuan and Lu will die, it is still unknown; Zhengping, in your opinion, who will have the last laugh? ?”

Today's Mi Heng seems to be very low-key, and has never participated in the discussions of the ministers. At this time, when Wang Zheng asked about it, he handed over his hands and came out, and immediately said firmly: "Cao Cao will definitely lose to Yuan Shao!"

What?
Does Mi Heng dislike Cao Cao so much?

Wang Zheng laughed dumbly and said, "Why did Zhengping say that? Speaking of which, Yuan Shao still has a deep hatred with you. Logically, shouldn't you hope that Cao Cao will defeat Yuan Shao?"

"I naturally hope that Thief Yuan will be defeated as soon as possible, but Cao Cao obviously doesn't have the ability, let alone the luck."

Wang Zheng became more and more curious: "How to say?"

"Guo Jijiu said just now that the lord is so heroic and mighty as the enemy's bravery, I think so deeply," Mi Heng said calmly, "However, such a general, such a hero, has served under Cao Cao for several years, but it is not for him. Isn't it extremely ridiculous?"

"It can be seen from this that Cao Mengde is ignorant of people's knowledge, and ignorant of destiny, how can he surpass Yuan Shao?"

"Hahaha"

Wang Zheng looked up to the sky with a long smile, although what Mi Heng said was flattering himself, it was not unreasonable.

Cao Cao, or the Cao Wei regime, was naturally the real protagonist in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the original history, and it was the destiny.

But after his own time travel, the history has changed beyond recognition, so whether this future ending will appear, naturally becomes unknown. It is not a lie to say that Cao Cao has lost the vitality and destiny that he should have.

And with the sudden rise of Wang Zheng, the tide has risen, and to a certain extent, it has indeed had a great impact on Cao Cao's personal evaluation, and it is an extremely negative impact.
At least one can't escape the hat of "can't recognize talent, can't keep people".

"Zhengping's opinion is quite novel." After laughing for a while, Wang Zheng turned to Lu Su and asked, "You have heard the analysis of Sima and Guo Jijiu, what do you think?"

Lu Su said: "Guo Jijiu's words are not unreasonable, but I still agree with your Sima's opinion."

"In other words, do you also think that Yuan Shao will be the final victor among the northern princes?"

"Exactly."

Because we were having dinner just now, everyone was sitting on the table at this time, only Lu Su was standing, Wang Zheng noticed this, after hearing his answer, don't rush to listen to him before going on , looking sideways, waited for the guards to fetch a chair and put it on the hall, then he waved his hand and said: "Lu Facao, please sit down."

"Xiezhou Mu."

Lu Su bowed to Wang Zheng, then slightly bowed his hands to everyone, although he was a humble official, he sat down calmly without any restraint.

Wang Zheng said with a smile: "I heard that true sages can see the details, Feng Xiao and Mi Heng's inferences are based on the personal details of Yuan and Cao, and then they boldly infer the future success or failure of the two, let's not talk about it for now. Whether the inference is correct or not, at the very least, the four words "seeing the micro-knowledge, well-deserved."

"However, Lu Facao considered the general situation of the world and came to the same conclusion as Zhengping, which is also quite brilliant."

Wang Zheng stared at Lu Su, and said solemnly: "The current situation our army is facing is indeed as you said, internal and external difficulties. You just said that the solution is nothing more than long-distance and short-term attack. The long-distance is nothing more than Yuan and Cao. I know, as for the close attack, where to attack, and how to attack, I would like to hear the details."

Lu Su didn't speak for now, but raised his head slightly, looked up at the young man in the high seat in the hall, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and said leisurely: "Report to Zhou Mu, my servant just said that the most important thing Zhou Mu has to do right now is to stand on his feet. Jiangdong, so where to attack, it will naturally be ready to go, it is self-evident."

Wang Zheng's tiger eyes flashed sharply, he nodded slightly, and calmly said the only answer: "Jingzhou."

"It's Jingzhou!"

Lu Su let out a deep sigh of pride in his heart, and said solemnly: "The land of Jingchu is adjacent to our Jiangdong, and it can reach the north along the river. It is connected to Jianghan on the outside and separated from mountains on the inside. , the scholars and the people are rich, and the prefecture and herdsmen have covered Xuzhou and Yangzhou. If they occupy this place again, it can be said that they will occupy half of the Kyushu and become the foundation of the emperor!"

"However, the territory is desolate right now, and there is a shortage of food. When you came, I was discussing with the lords about sending envoys to Jingzhou to buy food."

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "If Liu Biao generously donated his money and extended a helping hand, and went to attack Jingzhou in the future, wouldn't it be a breach of morality to give someone a blame?"

"Furthermore, no matter who you choose to ally with the northern princes, according to what you said, I will temporarily follow Gou Jian and Yuan Shao, a fake minister, and maybe I can delay the pace of their generation going south. How can I help the current internal difficulties? I will read the history books and understand a truth from it, which is "to fight against the outside world, you must first settle the inside." If the inside is unstable, even if the foreign enemy does not invade for a while, it will be overthrown sooner or later, right? "

From Wang Zheng's point of view, no matter Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, it is the most ideal situation not to attack their own family. It is purely whimsical to ask them to borrow food or something, so even if Lu Su said, choosing Yuan Shao as a false minister is not good for the current internal affairs. Emptiness, embarrassment, but no help, so I ask this question.

Lu Su said: "I'm a native of Dongcheng County, Xuzhou. Although I have only served as a state shepherd for a short time, I have heard of the heroic military of the state shepherd for a long time."

"The state herdsman started from the beginning, and was pulled out of the grass. With only one battalion of soldiers and thousands of horses, he swept across the two states of Qingzhou and Xuzhou in just a few years, and crossed the nine counties of Jianghuai. The owl bowed his head; those powerful like Yuan Shu and Yuan Tan were also intimidated and subdued by the prestige of the state herds and tigers, and no one dared to speak out."

"In today's world, but hearing the name of Zhou Mu, who among the princes does not look at him? Who doesn't tremble with fear? Gein Zhou Mu's martial arts is so powerful that it is rare in ancient and modern times!"

"Not only is Wu Lie powerful, but the reputation of Zhou Mu's benevolence and love for talents has long been spread throughout the Kyushu. The virtuous and the unworthy are all worthy of their talents. From the families of the princes and nobles, down to the civilian pawns, everyone praises him. He is the sage of the Zhou Mu. , and it is also rare in the world.”

"The virtuous state herdsmen, the sharp state herdsmen, have now crossed the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, and now they are at the top of Yangzhou. Among the heroes of the Central Plains, there is one more hero. At this time, the north and the south are not indifferent, and the east and west are not suspicious. The heroes of the world look forward to and doubt. why?"

"Gain Zhou Mu was born out of nowhere, and none of the heroes knew Zhou Mu's intentions. I heard it, and I doubt it will last long, and chaos will follow. Why do my ministers think that Yuan Shao will definitely go south to Xuzhou after defeating Gongsun Zan? This is what Zhou Mu used to do. Kefu Shouchun formed an alliance with Liu Jingsheng, and once the alliance has been formed, it is difficult to go south, in Yuan Shao's view, the state shepherd must have the heart to look north, and at this time, he should seek to preemptive strikes!"

"If you can clear up your doubts and calm your mind, then you will be able to appease Yuan Shao and suspend the two heroes' hunting Xuzhou."

Speaking of this, Lu Su paused for a moment, and continued: "As for going to Jingzhou to ask for grain, it is actually not at odds with attacking Jingzhou. It depends on whether it is buying grain or borrowing grain. Buying and selling is a matter for merchants, and it has nothing to do with kindness and righteousness." What's the connection? What I'm most afraid of is that Liu Biao doesn't want to sell the grain, but wants to borrow it, that's a deliberate act of kindness, and an intention to chain the state shepherd with morality!"

Depend on.
Wang Zheng finally came to his senses when he heard this. Why did Guo Jia just talk about buying grain at first, and then suddenly changed his words to "borrowing grain"?
This TM is actually implying to me that I must not let Liu Biao "borrow money"?
Fortunately, I was complacent just now, but I think his "suggestion" is good, and borrowing money is the way to take advantage
So this calculation is still hidden?

Thinking of this, he took a deep look at Lu Su, then calmly glanced at Guo Jia who was smiling slightly, feeling in his heart, these scholars really have so many eyes!
The belated Wang Zheng had a dry cough
Then he asked again, "So what if Liu Biao wants to borrow money?"

"Then let him borrow it."

Lu Su has never had a chance to show his talents. At this time, when he talked about his enthusiasm, he was already in a state of eloquence: "In times of change, it is impossible to be determined by one person. How can a little favor and small favor be with the weak to attack the ignorant and follow the sky?" The glorious way of justice, is it on the same level as the direction of righteousness?"

"Jingzhou is the heart of the world. At this time, the disputes in the north are still undecided. It is a golden opportunity once in a thousand years. If you don't take it today, it will be beneficial to others. In the future, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will win and lose, and you will never sit idly by!"

"If the state shepherd feels ashamed of Liu Biao, he will give Liu Biao and his heirs a great power after he wins the throne in the future."

Wang Zheng originally wanted Lu Su to find a way for Liu Biao to "borrow grain", but in Lu Su's view, there was not much difference between borrowing grain and buying grain.

It would be best to be able to buy food and not owe favors to Liu Biao, but what if he owed favors?

In the face of major events such as fighting for hegemony in the world, any kindness and faith are small things and are insignificant!
Not only did Wang Zheng understand what he meant, but Guo Jia, Mi Heng, Zhang Zhao, and even Lu Ji and others at the side finally understood what he meant, and they all agreed deeply.

Even Zhang Zhao, who disliked Lu Su, had to admit at this time that the little official in front of him was actually a very rare political talent.

Being able to know the general trend of the world like the palm of his hand shows that he has a certain level of insight
Being able to analyze so clearly shows that he has a certain amount of talent
And the last paragraph shows that he possesses the two qualities most needed by an excellent politician
Shameless, and how to be "righteous" shameless!
Wang Zhenglian has received several high hats from Lu Su, and he is both "the sharpest of the state herdsmen" and "the wise man of the state herdsmen". "Ingratitude" became a "subtlety" in Lu Su's mouth, but like Zhang Zhao, he also recognized Lu Su's ability very much, so he was not angry and disgusted, and simply followed Lu Su's words and asked:
"Just now you thought that forming an alliance with Yuan Shao was the best choice. The basis for this conclusion is because you thought Yuan Benchu ​​would become the ultimate victor of the northern lands. If so, wouldn't our alliance with him be seeking skin from a tiger?"

Lu Ji on the side also thought the same way. Hearing the words, he nodded his head and put forward a different opinion from Lu Su: "Your lord, I see clearly that what Lu Facao said is "to make friends from afar and to attack near". , but whether to choose Yuan Shao is not certain, Cao Cao is not as good as Yuan Shao now, but he has a famous weapon in his hand, Yuan Shao is a greater threat, why not join forces with Cao Cao first to destroy Yuan Shao together?"

"Wouldn't it be easier to deal with Cao Cao after Yuan Shao is dealt with?"

"Lu Junshou's words are wrong."

Liu Ye suddenly interjected, "It's just that Cao Cao has the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, so we must not join hands with this person." Lu Su on the side also said in a deep voice, "Exactly!"

"Oh?"

Wang Zheng looked sideways and asked, "Why?"

Liu Ye said: "Cao Cao has not seen a strong and prosperous now, firstly because the time is short, and secondly because the strong neighbors are on the side, the emperor, the Han family Zhengshuo, once given enough time and space, it must be what the people want and the trend of the times. The generation now embraces the land of Yanyu according to Xudu, and this year even embraced Sili into his arms, and he has become a condescending power, and he is the head of the world."

"If the lord helps him defeat Yuan Shao, there will be no opponents in the north, and Cao Cao will be difficult to control."

"As far as I can see, what Lu Fa Cao said is the best policy. No matter who you join forces with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, we can just sit on the sidelines and watch, because for my lord, the longer the conflict between the heroes in the north, the greater the benefit."

Lu Su also said in a deep voice: "As for forming an alliance with Yuan Shao, Zhou Mu thinks it is seeking skin from a tiger, and the lower officials think it's too early to say at this time, the situation is always changing, and it will really develop to this point when the time comes, Besides, it's not too late, Junshi Guo thinks that Yuan Shaoruo has no chance of winning against Zhou Mu, and the subordinate officials also think so!"

"At the beginning, Zhou Mu was able to defeat Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu with the land of the three counties. If he could occupy Jingzhou and cover half of the Kyushu, then Yuan Shao would unify the North.

What are you afraid of? "

"In the eyes of my subordinates, Yuan Shao is only stronger than Cao Cao in terms of situation and strategy. He is not a leader in the world. May I ask Zhou Mu, if you compare Yuan Shao with Liu Xuande and Sun Bofu, who is more powerful?"

That must be Liu Bei and Sun Ce!

Needless to say, Liu Bei, because he has fought against him personally, in the eyes of Wang Zheng, Sun Ce is really an underestimated figure by later generations.

After all, it would take a lot of time for him, who has opened the hacking and hacking hack, to win this little overlord. If Sun Ce hadn't died in an assassination in the original history, with his talent in military ability, the army of Soochow would never be able to win. As a shortcoming, the record of actively attacking other countries cannot be so bleak, and it may not even be possible to say whether the three kingdoms will emerge in the future.

"What Lufacao said is true."

Wang Zheng nodded and said: "However, according to the filial piety, Yuan Shao's temperament is quite small. This man's favorite general Wen Chou died at the hands of this general. His son Yuan Tan also fought against our army, so this general is willing to learn from him." Goujian, I'm afraid he might not be willing to be Fucha either, right?"
