Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 14 Bowang vs.

Outside the tent, straightening his clothes, Liu Bei asked, "Mr. Huo, do you have any rest?"

"Never!" Huo Jun came out of the tent to greet him and replied: "Liu Yuzhou stayed up late at night. Could it be that he had something on his mind?"

After entering the tent, the two sat around the tea stove. Huo Jun grabbed some tea leaves and threw them into the kettle to brew.

Liu Bei looked at Huo Jun, who was making tea, and said, "It's so hot tonight that it's hard to sleep. Please don't take offense if you disturb me while wandering here."

Huo Jun poured a cup of hot tea, handed it to Liu Bei, and said, "Jun, I'm used to reading at night, so why bother?"

"Please drink!"

After drinking Huo Jun's tea several times, Liu Bei also knew how to drink it.He held the tea cup, blew in the hot air, and took a small sip. It was bitter at first, then sweet, and it had a unique flavor.

While drinking tea, the two fell silent, both seeming to be thinking about something.

After a while, Liu Bei put down the tea cup and said: "Yuan Benchu ​​died of illness. Liu Jingzhou has no intention of going to the north and ordered Bei to return to his army."

Huo Jun sipped his tea and asked, "How should Yuzhou respond?"

"I don't know!"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to accomplish what Bei has planned. I may have to live in Xinye temporarily."

As he spoke, Liu Bei looked at Huo Jun who was pouring tea and asked, "Did Sir, did you expect this in advance?"

Huo Jun raised his eyebrows and said: "Jun is not a god, so how can he predict life and death? It's just that Jun knows a little about Liu Jingzhou's intentions."

"Although Liu Jingzhou has an enterprising spirit, he has no civil or military talents, so he has to protect the land and the people. Therefore, he has been compared with King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. He occupied the land of Jianghan and sat back and watched the changes in the Central Plains. He had neither grand plans nor talents. Yes." Huo Jun talked eloquently.

"As for the Central Plains, in the past, Yuan was strong and Cao was weak, but Yuan Shao could not defeat Cao Cao. Now that Cao is strong and Yuan is weak, how long can Yuan Shao and his disciples stop Cao Cao? Moreover, Yuan Shao was fifty-six. He was defeated one after another, exhausted, and suddenly fell ill. thing."

Yuan Shao was eight years older than Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was six years older than Liu Bei.In the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, people who were 56 years old were considered to be old people.

"Yuzhou's desire to establish a base in Nanyang was due to the mutual aid between Yuan Benchu ​​and Liu Jingzhou. Moreover, the new land was vast and the people were sparse, and the land was not dangerous. It was not easy to raise troops and establish a base! Now Yuan Shao died of illness, and the two sons fought, which greatly benefited Cao Cao."

"In the past, the reason Liu Jingzhou led Yuzhou into Jing was just to connect with Yuan Shaoer. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Liu Jingzhou has no intention of a northern expedition. How will Yuzhou deal with itself?"

"And Liu Jingzhou ordered Yuzhou to guard this new wilderness. He really regards Yuzhou as the dog's ears guarding the gate! I hope Yuzhou will think twice!"

Liu Bei pondered for a long time and asked: "What is the best strategy among the three strategies mentioned by Mr. Na Ye?"

Huo Jun poured tea for Liu Bei without any hurry and said with a smile: "No hurry, would you like to hear about Yuzhou's aspirations?"

Liu Bei was stunned, then pulled himself together, cupped his hands and answered: "The Han Dynasty has fallen, traitors have stolen lives, and your Majesty is in the dust. Bei did not overestimate his own capabilities, and wanted to spread his righteousness to the world. However, his intelligence and skills were short-lived, and he failed to establish a foundation for a long time. He has been wandering to this day. Mr. You have great talent, do you dare to ask for advice?"

Huo Jun put the teapot on the table and said seriously: "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang rebellion in the northwest has lasted for more than a hundred years, and the national treasury has been empty. Many emperors died young, while relatives and eunuchs were in power. Fighting and fighting turned the court into decay. . In addition, due to the ban of the party, the scholars and the common people were alienated; the chaos of the Yellow Turbans caused local power to rise; Dong Zhuo's chaos in government eventually led to the separatism of the heroes, and the people were in dire straits."

"Now Cao Cao upholds the government, bullies the emperor, and kills his officials. It can be said that he has a treasonous heart. But Yuzhou lives in Jingchu and wants to assist the Han Dynasty. It is really difficult!"

Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Huo Jun raised the corner of his mouth and said: "When the Qin Dynasty fell in the past, Emperor Gaozu wanted to respect the Righteous Emperor, but Xiang Yu caused chaos and harmed the Righteous Emperor. Today's Cao Cao is like Xiang Yu in the past. How can Yuzhou help the Han Dynasty? It is better to follow the example of the ancestors. , raised troops vigorously, wiped out the bandits in the world, and established the Han Dynasty."

"Forgive Jun for his rebellion. The Han Dynasty cannot rise suddenly, nor can Cao Cao be eliminated. Yuzhou should follow the example of its ancestors, build its foundation, eliminate bandits, and establish a new Han Dynasty."

Liu Bei licked his lips and said nothing.

Seeing that Liu Bei acquiesced, Huo Jun took out a map from his luggage, spread it on the table, and said, "Let's take a look at Yuzhou!"

"Now that Yuan Shao has died suddenly and his two sons are fighting for power, Hebei will be captured by Cao Cao. Such a large river north and south will be occupied by Cao Cao. The Cao family is sitting in the Central Plains, using the emperor to control the princes. It can be said that they have all the time in the world, and they cannot compete with them. "

"Liu Jingzhou has occupied the land of Jingchu for more than ten years. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and noble clans as his wings, so he cannot take it in a hurry. In the land of Yizhou, the road to Shu is difficult and dangerous. Although Yuntianfu has no internal support, it is difficult to capture it. . These two have taken advantage of the geographical advantages, but they have no place to use force."

"Looking at Jiangdong, Sun Ce died young and Sun Quan rushed forward at a young age. Some tribesmen were dissatisfied, some generals were disobedient outside, a group of thieves were in chaos below, and there were dissensions in the temples above. Although Sun's old people were assisting Bi, the Sun clan entered Jiangdong and killed many princes. Heavy, the common people were resentful, and the people were not attached, and Sun Ce died because of it. If the strategy is appropriate and the people who support it are harmonious, then it will be possible."

When Sun Quan succeeded Sun Ce, he was still young and had difficulty convincing the public.Li Shu, the governor of Lujiang, openly rebelled, Sun Fu, the governor of Luling, collaborated with Cao Cao, and Sun Hao attempted to seize power. There were many careerists like this.

Liu Bei stared at the map, considered for a long time and said: "Even so, it is difficult to compete with the subordinates who are prepared."

Huo Jun laughed a few times and asked: "Isn't it Sun Quanxie who is fighting against the enemy in Yuzhou and Jiangdong?"

"Exactly!" "Excuse me, who is stronger than Sun Quan in Yuzhou?" Huo Jun continued to ask.

Liu Bei pondered for a while and replied: "Bei is not talented. In terms of bravery and strategy, his reputation can be said to be better than that of Sun Quan, but in terms of men, people, soldiers and horses, he is far behind."

Huo Jun bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "Jun has been observing the Sun family for a long time. Please speak to Sun Quan and my brother Sun Ce."

"Sun Ce was a man of brave strategy and good knowledge of people, so he was able to control the east of the Yangtze River. However, looking at his actions, he only relied on bravery and did not cultivate virtues, so he was called a little overlord. Because of human nature, he is quick to make plans, is careless and unprepared, and will die. In the hands of villains, he only made the world laugh. After Sun Ce's death, Jiangzuo was shaken, and many noble families rebelled, which shows that the Sun family's career was shallow. His younger brother Sun Quan was young and had no obvious talents, so although he was named Tongjiangdong, But it really depends on the ears of Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Wu Jing and other old people."

"Moreover, since the Yellow Turbans, many people from Qingxu died in Jiangzuo, and Cao Cao's rebellion in Xuzhou, the soldiers and people who crossed south benefited many people. If Yuzhou's reputation is used, troops can be sent to Jiangzuo, follow the example of the great ancestor and enter the pass, strictly enforce military orders, and stabilize the area. , eliminate the harsh laws and appoint talents, then the scholars and common people in Jiangdong will fall in love with him, and the young and Xu scholars will compete to serve him. This is the victory of Yuzhou over the Sun family."

"As for the troops and horses, both Guan and Zhang have tens of thousands of enemies. They are famous in the Central Plains. How can they compare with the generals in Jiangzuo? Although the soldiers in Yuzhou are few, they have moved to the Central Plains and have been on the battlefield for a long time. The soldiers are brave, loyal and trustworthy." The soldiers and generals on the left side of the Yangtze River follow the law of the city and are originally timid in foreign wars. Now that Sun Ce is dead, the soldiers are hard to use. Entering Jiangdong with this army is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Who dares to fight!"

In history, the relationship between Sun Wu and the Jiangdong clan needs to be viewed in different periods.In the first stage, Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River to conquer the south. The local big families resisted Sun Ce's rule with force and were beheaded by Sun Ce. The fundamental purpose was to "kill the famous tyrants and dominate the neighboring countries" in order to quickly pacify Jiangdong.

The second stage began when Sun Quan took over Jiangdong. In order to consolidate his position in the early days, Sun Quan on the one hand won over Jiangdong scholars and on the other hand carried out bloody massacres to deter local evildoers.If Li Shu was conquered, Sun Quan would massacre Wancheng.

It was not until Sun Quan's politics stabilized that the Sun family and the Jiangdong clan gradually integrated.The current stage is in the early days of Sun Quan's rule.The people in Jiangdong have not yet attached themselves, and Sun Quan has not completely ruled the six counties in Jiangdong.

Huo Jun finally concluded: "To the east of the Yangtze River, the rivers are dangerous, the boats are horses, the fertile fields are thousands of miles long, and the products are abundant, enough to support a hundred thousand soldiers. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Fu Chai and Gou Jian regarded it as their foundation and dominated the Central Plains. With this place, the emperor could win Xu. Huai, the west can connect to Jingyi. Cao Cao went south, used boats as troops to block the enemy in the north of the Yangtze River, and then named himself Emperor to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty."

Under Huo Jun's analysis, Liu Bei could not hide his excitement, but he still did not forget the problem and asked: "On the river, water battles are decisive. How can the water army on the left side of the river be defeated after long training?"

"It's easy!"

With a loud laugh, Huo Jun moved his hands and feet with a heroic spirit that attracted people's attention.

"Jingzhou and Jiangdong have always had hatred. Huang Zu killed Sun Jian, and Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu several times. Judging from this, Sun Quan will definitely send troops to Huang Zu to increase his prestige. Yuzhou can use Huang Zu's power to take Jiangdong directly along the river." Huo Jun said .

Liu Bei put his hands on his knees, leaned forward and said, "Huang Zu's strength alone may not be enough!"

Huo Jun wetted his fingers with tea and wrote the word "Qi" on the desk, showing a confident smile.

"The eldest son (Liu Qi)?" Liu Bei asked doubtfully.

Huo Jun took a sip of tea and continued to break down the strategic steps for Liu Bei, saying: "Huang Zu's power is not enough to make an enemy of Jiangdong, but if Liu Jingzhou can be invited to send troops, great things can be accomplished."

"Liu Jingzhou has many sons, the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong. These two may be brothers and have a rivalry. Liu Jingzhou regards his eldest son as his own and likes him quite a lot. However, the eldest son has a rift with his stepmother Cai, and they attack each other. Now Liu Jingzhou is old and frail, and the Cai family is in danger. It is not a bad idea to go into trouble, or to establish another successor. In this case, Li Ji's rebellion against the Jin Dynasty is not far away."

"At that time, we can advise the eldest son to follow Chong'er's example and avoid trouble outside, and take Jiangzuo to fight against the Cai family. By then, with the help of Liu Jingzhou and Huang Zu, they will be able to go east to Jiangzuo and establish a foundation."

The strategy, which was more than a thousand words long, contained not only a general strategic plan, but also detailed implementation steps. Liu Bei couldn't help but open his mouth.His first reaction was ecstasy. He was not happy about Xia Jiangdong's strategy, but he truly realized what kind of amazing talent the young man in front of him had.

Wang Can's evaluation of Wu Qi's talents was definitely not overstated. With his suggestions for the Northern Expedition and the plans he made for himself tonight, he was worthy of being regarded as a national scholar.

Perhaps Gaozu felt like this when he got Han Xin.

Liu Bei bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Sir, you have the talent to help the world, but I don't think you can do it as a courtesy. If you don't give up, I would like to worship you as a general and lead the soldiers."

Huo Jun quickly paused and said: "Jun is not Han Xin, how dare he be conceited. If you don't mind me being a shallow person, I am willing to drive for Yuzhou."

"Be prepared to make a mistake"

Liu Bei stood up, held Huo Jun's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Sir, you have the common people in the world in mind, and I will definitely live up to your trust."

Liu Bei expressed indescribable excitement, like the joy of a lost person encountering a bright light.When he was at a loss and confused, Huo Jun pointed out the way for him to establish a foundation and compete with Cao Cao.

"I am willing to serve Duke Ming!" Huo Jun bowed his back and said in obeisance.

Holding Huo Jun's hand, Liu Bei asked, "What do you think we will do when we return to Jingzhou today?"

Huo Jun leaned close to Liu Bei's ear and whispered: "Ming Gong can temporarily practice the key points of water warfare in Xinye. As for the opportunity to send troops, Cai's help is needed to complete this matter..."

"it is good!"

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly after hearing the content of Huo Jun's plan.
