Beast King Three Kingdoms

() (Seeking collection, seeking recommendation.)

"My lord is benevolent!" Everyone praised in unison.

Yuan Shu waved his hand casually, turned his gaze to Xun You, and asked, "Whether to march or not, what's Gongda's opinion?"

Xun You stood up and replied, "Now the Lord is busy sorting out the civil affairs, so it is really not suitable for a big war."

As soon as these words came out, the military commander below was immediately disappointed.

At this time, I only heard Xun You change the subject and continued: "However, a big battle is impossible, but a small war may not be impossible, and it is not necessarily impossible to win the city without fighting."

"Oh?" Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Probably Gongda has a plan in mind, so why not speak up!"

"Yes!" Xun You saluted Yuan Shu, then turned to the crowd and said, "There is a way to be a soldier who surrenders without fighting. Now our army occupies Jingbei, Henan, and Huaihe Rivers, and there are more than ten soldiers under our command. Tens of thousands, the situation is as big as the sky, and Lujiang County is naturally unable to compete, and at this time Lu Jining (Lu Kangzi) is probably worried that our army will attack."

All the generals smiled when they heard this, obviously very proud.

Feng Ji and Zhang Hong seemed to understand what Xun You meant.

Regardless of everyone's thoughts, Xun You continued, "If I wait for this matter to send an envoy to persuade Lu Kang to surrender, I'm afraid he will not agree, but if it is an alliance, he will definitely not refuse."

Zhang Xun asked curiously: "Sir! We want to take Lujiang, why do we form an alliance with Lu Kang? If we go to war in the future, wouldn't it be justified and lost righteousness?"

"Hehe!" Xun You smiled slightly and said, "General Zhang, don't worry, listen to me slowly! After we form an alliance with him, we will not use weapons, but only need to take Lu Kang by the air slowly, and take over the military and political power in Lujiang. With a little effort, you can get a county in Lujiang."

"It's really a hero who sees the same thing!" Yuan Shu thought proudly that he originally wanted to talk about surrendering Lu Kang, but he was using Gu Yong's power to persuade Lu Kang.

Gu Yong is a child of the Gu family in Jiangdong, while Lu Kang is a member of the Lu family in Jiangdong. The Jiangdong family has many contacts with each other. Based on this relationship, they should be able to persuade them to resist.

But Xun You's plan was more ruthless, and he directly drew his salary from the bottom of the pot, so that Lu Kang had to give in.

"Is Gongda's plan sure?" Although Yuan Shu agreed with Xun You's plan, the rest of the people inevitably doubted it, so he wanted to use Xun You's mouth to explain it to everyone, and at the same time he wanted to increase Xun You's influence.

"Don't worry, my lord!" Xun You is unparalleled in talent, how can he not know Yuan Shu's deep meaning, he is grateful in his heart, and said: "Lu Kang is old, all he cares about is his family and his own reputation, as long as my lord does not take away his title of prefect, he is protecting the family. I will definitely not oppose the Lord’s rule.”

"Good!" Yuan Shu praised highly, turned to everyone, and asked, "Who would go to Lujiang to persuade Lu Kang to form an alliance with me?"

"Subordinate willing!"

Yuan Shu looked, but it was Yan Xiang.

"In that case, please trouble Mr. Yan to go!"

"No!" Yan Xiang took the order.

After the matter of Lujiang was settled, Yuan Shu asked about the future development.

According to Yuan Shu's previous conception, only the land of Jiangdong has not yet been obtained, and after obtaining Jiangdong, where should he march, Yuan Shu has not made a perfect plan, this time everyone is here, just in time to ask.

"My lord! The last general thought that he would march into the Central Plains. Now the princes of the Central Plains are fighting each other. There are weak and strong. Our army can support the weak and resist the strong, or even destroy the weak, it's not a problem!" Ji Ling jumped again. Come out and say.

"Shut up!" Yuan Shu looked at Ji Ling with a headache, and cursed secretly in his heart: "It's a shame that I said earlier that this guy is already capable of both civil and military skills, so the mud can't support the wall!"

"Sit down and listen carefully, think carefully, your pig brain will rust if you don't move!" Yuan Shu cursed.

"Yes!" Ji Ling sat back in his seat aggrieved, and the other generals shrugged their shoulders, obviously holding back their laughter.

At this time, Yang Hong hesitated and said: "My lord! Hong thinks what General Ji said... er, it may not be unreasonable. Now that the Central Plains is chaotic, our army can take advantage of the situation. If it is occupied by other princes, I'm afraid It's too late to regret."

Yuan Shu laughed angrily, and said: "The chaos in the Central Plains caused the people to live in dire straits. Countless people came from the south. How can I benefit from those deserted cities? What's more, the Central Plains is flat and there is no danger to defend. If the war spreads, the cities suffer, and so on. Efforts will be ruined once. Such a place is really tasteless. It’s a pity to eat it and throw it away. If you want to win the Central Plains, you need a battle to decide, otherwise it will affect the rear and drag everything down, and the defeat will only happen overnight.”

After hearing this, Yang Hong felt very reasonable, and was even more ashamed of his own opinion.

Everyone else secretly admired Yuan Shu's foresight.

"My lord is wise!" Zhang Hong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and said, "It is indeed not the best time to conquer the Central Plains. After we have won the lands in the east of the Yangtze River, in addition to proper management, we also need to solve the Shanyue problem. Jiangdong has always been plagued by mountains and mountains, so it should be treated with caution. At the same time, Liu Biao in Jingzhou is like a mans back, and must be eliminated. Only by thoroughly sweeping Jiangdong and Jiangnan can we march into the Central Plains without worry."

"Zigang said it is true!" Yuan Shu has been hesitating whether to go south or go west. As for going north, it is only the last choice and has never been considered by Yuan Shu.

Now that he heard Zhang Hong's words, Yuan Shu immediately made up his mind to take Jingzhou first, and then go to Jiaozhou. After the rear area is completely stabilized, he may consider going north to the Central Plains or west to Yizhou.

"Zhang Hong is indeed a great strategist!" Yuan Shu exclaimed in his heart.

In history, it was Zhang Hong's suggestion that Sun Quan moved his capital to Moling, which shows Zhang Hong's grasp of the general trend.

"My lord, Miao Zan!" Zhang Hong smiled and said, "In fact, my lord's previous arrangements have been completed. Liu Biao is now suppressed by my lord in the south of Xiangjiang River and Jingshan Mountain, and his strength has been greatly reduced. After my lord wins Jiangdong, I will send troops from Yuzhang to attack directly. Jiangxia, let the Xiangyang army go south and take Jiangling directly, and the two armies will attack, and Jingzhou will be settled!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu blushed a little. What happened in Xiangyang could only be said to be a mistake. He didn't realize that he suppressed Liu Biao so badly.

"Zhongye!" Yuan Shu hurriedly changed the subject and urged Wenpin: "Can you hear Mr. Zigang's words clearly? Xiangyang is an important place, remember not to be negligent, Cao Cao must not slack off in training troops and horses, and be ready to go south at any time to attack Jiangling."

"The final general obeys orders!" Wenpin responded loudly.

At this time, Yuan Shu noticed that Wenpin's expression was hesitant, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.

"If Zhongye has anything to say, you might as well just say it straight! Could it be that I am a fatuous lord who can't accept honest advice?" Yuan Shu laughed.

"My lord is wise and powerful, how dare the last general doubt it!" Wen Pin said hastily.

"Okay!" Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "What's the matter, tell me!"

Wen Pin pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I have a good friend who is from Yiyang and has extraordinary martial arts skills. I want to recruit him as a side general. Please allow me, my lord."

"From Yiyang?" Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes, and a name flashed in his mind, and asked, "What's his name, since he has martial arts, why doesn't he go to the recruiting hall?"

"His name is Wei Yan, and his character is Wenchang. He didn't go to the recruiting hall because of his bad background!" Wenpin replied.

"It really is him!" Yuan Shu guessed that it might be Wei Yan when he heard about Yiyang.

In history, Wei Yan was well-known for his outstanding abilities, both civil and military, but it was a pity that he was plotted by the monster Zhuge, and finally died for no reason.

From Yuan Shu's point of view, although Zhuge Yaoren claims to be an exhaustive strategy, his ability to know people is really not flattering. Ma Su is the biggest representative among them, and Yang Yi, who was recommended by Zhuge Yaoren before his death, is even more unsightly and did not show much. He was exiled to a remote place, and finally committed suicide in prison.

As for Zhuge Yaoren's claim that Wei Yan has rebellion in the back of his head, it is even more nonsense. Yuan Shu thinks that Wei Yan is just a person who wants to stand out, loves to show off, and is capable at the same time.

This time Wei Yan did not vote for the Recruitment Center, but instead relied on his friend Wenpin, which just confirmed Yuan Shu's conjecture.

At this time, Wei Yan was silent. Even if the recruiting hall really didn't care about his background, he might not take him seriously.

Wei Yan is still very confident in his ability, so if he joins a friend, he will have more opportunities to succeed, because as a friend, he will naturally know his ability, regardless of emotion, as long as he is given a chance, he will succeed.

However, Yuan Shu didn't care about Wei Yan at this time. Even though Wei Yan was very talented, what he really cared about was that since the Recruitment Hall had clearly stated that background was not considered, why would some people refuse to vote because of lack of background.

At that moment, Yuan Shu frowned, and said: "It is stated in my recruitment order that as long as they are talents, regardless of their background, they will be hired. Why is it so?"

"This... will never be known!" Wen Pin shook his head and said.

"How could this be?" Yuan Shu said to himself.
