Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 215
There is a bridge in the Romance. During the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu wanted to kill Zhuge Liang, so he asked Zhuge Liang to take people to burn Cao Cao's food and grass.The result was seen through by Zhuge Liang.At that time, Zhuge Liang said, "Rao Zijing is the gatekeeper on the road, and there is Zhou Lang in water battles near the river", saying that Zhou Yu can only fight in water but not in road, and he is far inferior to himself in water, foot, horse, and chariot battles, each doing his best. .

But the facts have also proved that in terms of water warfare, no one in the Three Kingdoms can compare with Zhou Yu, and in road warfare, Zhou Yu is indeed inferior to Zhuge Liang, otherwise Liu Bei would not have won Jingzhou.But it also reflected from the side, "Rao Zijing is the gatekeeper on the road, and Zhou Lang is there in the water battle near the river" has a certain basis in fact.

It seems that Lu Su's ability is indeed great, and it is no small miracle that he can defeat Ji Ling's army with three thousand bravery.

Zhang Miao retreated and defended Xiapi, which was almost a perfect victory for Zhang De. However, in this battle, Zhang De suffered a lot of losses, as well as the damage to soldiers and the consumption of food and supplies. Therefore, in the short term, Zhang De I am afraid that it will be difficult for Germany to carry out foreign wars.

But now Zhang De has occupied the two prefectures of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, taking advantage of fishing and salt, and there are many rivers in the two places, which are convenient for irrigation, the land is fertile, and the population of the two prefectures is also large, so as long as Zhang De is given enough time, Zhang De will soon be able to Rejuvenate.

Beihai City.

The postmen in the posthouse were very busy today, many people came from Xuzhou, and now they all lived in the posthouse, and Zhang De personally ordered to entertain these people well, not to be neglected.

The postmen didn't know that all the people living in the posthouse in Beihai City were big shots.Lu Su, Chen Deng, Cao Bao, Mi Zhu, and representatives of the major families in Xuzhou.After the battle in Xuzhou, these people were recruited by Zhang De to Beihai and temporarily lived in the post.

Zhang De first summoned Lu Su.Zhang De is very curious about the character of Lu Su. Historically, Lu Su was very capable. Look at how Lu Su advised Sun Quan, and his grasp of the current situation is no better than Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Dui". It is a pity that Lu Su It can be regarded as one who died young, only 45 years old when he died.

Zhang De agreed that if Lu Su was still alive, he would definitely dissuade Sun Quan from sending Lu Meng to attack Jingzhou, so the Sun-Liu alliance would break down and Liu Bei would attack Soochow.It was precisely because Liu Bei attacked Soochow that the two parties suffered heavy losses, and they did not recover for many years.Just imagine if the soldiers and horses Liu Bei lost in the burning company were used to attack Cao Cao, then the history of the Three Kingdoms would be different.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su was portrayed as a good old man, and his heart was particularly soft, and he was played around by Zhuge Liang.How could Zhang De not be curious about such a person!
Lu Su is also a wealthy family. He looks 25 or 1.8 years old this year. He is about [-] meters tall, has a Chinese character face, and looks good.But it doesn't look like such a loyal and honest person, but has a mature and capable aura.

"Lu Su met the lord!"

Seeing Lu Su coming, Zhang De hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said cheerfully, "Zijing, you don't need to be too polite!"

The two exchanged some pleasantries, and Zhang De wanted to test Lu Su, so he asked, "Zijing, a few days ago, there was an imperial decree from Luoyang, and I was named Taiwei. Now the official of the decree is at the post station, Zijing thinks Should I accept this edict or not?"

Lu Su knew that Zhang De was trying to test himself.Whether or not he accepts the imperial decree, the knowledge in it will be great.Now Luoyang and Chang'an each have an emperor. If they accepted Luoyang's imperial decree, it would mean that Zhang De felt that Liu Bian was respected as emperor. If he did not, then it would mean that Zhang De still respected Liu Xie as emperor.

Now that the world is in chaos and the princes are doing their own thing, if you respect Liu Bian as the emperor, then in the eyes of the princes who support Liu Xie, you are a traitor. Similarly, if you support Liu Xie, then in the eyes of those who support Liu Bian, you are also a traitor. thief.All kinds of relationships are complicated, and Zhang De has been struggling with how to get the most benefits, so Zhang De used the need to deal with the war as an excuse to let the envoy of the decree stay.The envoy had also been ordered by Cao Cao, so Zhang De naturally had to think carefully about such a matter. Anyway, Zhang De was in charge here, and the envoy was not in a hurry to go back.

Lu Su thought for a moment, and said: "Now the main enemy is the two Yuans in the north and the south. In the north, Yuan Shaoxiong dominates Hebei, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu will be annexed by Yuan Shao sooner or later; in the south, Yuan Shu occupies Yang and Henan. Zuo, this time the attack on Xiapi is unsuccessful, and we will surely retaliate with troops, which is a serious problem for the lord! The war in Qingxu Erzhou has just come to an end, and we need to cultivate and thrive. Therefore, for the current plan, we should even use Cao to fight against Eryuan! So Su believes that this The decree is to be accepted!"

Zhang De nodded, and asked again: "Then how should I fight against Cao Yuan?"

"Su thinks that although Yuan Shu is powerful, it is just an appearance. Moreover, Yuan Shu is arrogant and has made too many enemies, so he is not long-lasting. But Yuan Shao is different. Yuan Shao occupies the land of Hebei, has enough soldiers and food, and has many advisors under his command. People are weak and indecisive, and I have heard for a long time that Yuan Shao liked the youngest son and neglected the eldest son. Since ancient times, abolishing the elders and setting up the young is the way to perish. My lord should wait for the opportunity to bring Yuan Shao into civil strife. You can march into Hebei, occupy the two prefectures of Hebei and You, and then go south to Jiangdong !"

"As for Luoyang and Chang'an, Su believes that the lord can't get involved for the time being. There are no two emperors in the country, and there are no two masters in the family. Chang'an and Luoyang may not be peaceful!"

When Zhang De heard it, it sounded like a plan to divide the world into three parts, but Lu Su divided the world into three vertically, occupying the five prefectures of You, Ji, Qing, Xu and Yang in the east. The remaining states were left to Cao Cao and Liu Bei to fight over.

But now it seems that there is still a long way to go before this plan can be implemented. Lu Su is right. The biggest enemy now is the two Yuans in the north and the south. According to Yuan Shu's character, he will probably retaliate against him soon.It seems that the captain Cao Cao gave, I still want to be a captain!

……

At that moment, Zhang De personally greeted the official who announced the decree, received the imperial decree, and then held a big banquet that night, and the purpose was mainly to meet the representatives of those Xuzhou aristocratic families.

Zhang De has been in the Three Kingdoms for so many years, and he knows how powerful the aristocratic family is in this era.Although the aristocratic family will gradually disappear sooner or later with the development of productive forces and the integration of nations, but now, the aristocratic family controls most of the resources, and many capable talents are from the aristocratic family. Zhang De wants to govern Xuzhou well. You have to rely on these big families for the time being.

At this time, a person came into Zhang De's mind again - Chen Deng of the Chen family in Xiapi.
