Optimization System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 196 Analysis of Friend and Enemy
"Why did Cao Cao turn his head and hit me?" '

This question has been lingering in Zhang Lan's mind.

In the current situation, Cao Cao should take the opportunity to attack the rest of Sun Ce's troops, and Zhou Yu is now fighting Xu Shu in Xindu. Something is wrong.

'Did Cao Cao and Zhou Yu form an alliance? '

Another idea appeared in Zhang Lan's mind.

This idea is not impossible. The difference in strength between Cao Cao and Zhang Lan is not too big, but Zhang Lan has all kinds of advanced equipment, and Zhang Lan also has Sun Quan to help, and Zhou Yu is now in a weak position. Sun Ce just died not long ago. , the interior is relatively chaotic, and Zhou Yu is only temporarily in charge of power, leading troops to take revenge on Sun Ce. If Cao Cao continues to attack Zhou Yu, then Zhou Yu's ending can be imagined.

When Zhou Yu is destroyed, Cao Cao can only face Zhang Lan alone, at most he is uniting with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's meaning is still unclear, but Zhou Yu's intention is clear, which is to take revenge on Sun Ce and take over all of Sun Ce's forces.

So the two hit it off right away, Zhou Yu gave way to seek peace, and then Cao Cao turned his spearhead to target himself.

Zhang Lan thought of this, and instantly became much clearer.

"In this case, then I will defend desperately and see what you can do."

Zhang Lan immediately made a decision, sent an envoy to meet Sun Quan, and was willing to exchange Wu County and Kuaiji County for Jiujiang County, and threw this hot taro to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was not stupid, he was naturally unwilling to give up Jiujiang County, but with Madam Wu in exchange, he could only finally agree.

Zhang Lan first gave up the first generation of Jianye, then obtained Shouchun, and then exchanged defenses with each other based on these two places.

Finally, Xu Shu was ordered to retreat back to Lujiang.

It is indeed worthless to exchange the land of two counties for one place, but it pushed Sun Quan to the front line and let him resist Zhou Yu, so that he could draw his troops to fight Cao Cao.

After the exchange, Zhang Lan assembled a large number of troops in Yiyang, preparing for a decisive battle with Cao Cao.

At the same time as the assembly, Zhang Liao has been sent to attack Zaoyang.

Mobilized Zhang Yun to guard Jiujiang, and led Xu Shu to lead the army to assemble.

He also ordered Ji Ling to lead the army to attack Fancheng.

Cao Cao also made countermeasures, personally led the army to Fancheng, and ordered Li Dian to go to Zaoyang.

Although Zhang Lan has advanced equipment, Cao Cao can't stick to it, so it didn't have a good effect.

But Zaoyang is different. Zaoyang is just a small city, which cannot withstand the devastation of Zhang Lan's army. In the end, Cao Hong and others could not resist, and the city was ruined.

Zaoyang City was destroyed, Zhang Liao followed Pang Tong's suggestion and led his troops to Fancheng, and Xu Shu also led his troops to Fancheng.

The war is about to start.

But not long after, Zhang Lan received the news that Feng Xian, the leader of the Qiang tribe, led [-] troops to attack Chang'an.

This news shocked Zhang Lan's heart.

Qiang
To the west of Liangzhou, but able to cross Liangzhou to Chang'an, this must be because he has already worn a pair of pants with Cao Cao.

But fortunately, Zhang Lan has asked Ma Chao to guard here, so he can't make any mistakes for the time being.

During this period of time, Zhang Lan was very busy, and felt that there were countless things waiting for her to deal with, which was indeed the case.

In Zhang Lan's mind, the Qiang people are a group of reckless men with strong fighting power, but they are not suitable for siege warfare, and Chang'an is guarded by Ma Chao, so Zhang Lan was just stunned for a while, and didn't react for a while. Don't take it seriously.

He put down the letter in his hand, and a thought arose, and he entered the optimization space.

"Shout, boy, you're here"

Lao Wang's cynical look appeared in Zhang Lan's eyes.

"Well, my current martial skills have reached the bottleneck, and I can't improve it. Even if I improve, it won't have much effect. Old Wang, please give me some advice."

Zhang Lan sat down on the sofa sadly. After such a long period of time, he has completely integrated into this world and regarded himself as a person of this era. Only when he enters the optimization space can he remember that he is actually a time traveler. It's from the 21st century.

"Hey, the bottleneck is right. Now, let me give you an overview. In fact, the optimization system knowledge is a test for you. Anyway, your current grades have passed. Whether you can do better will determine you. The way of the future, you can figure it out yourself.”

"Trial?" Zhang Lan was taken aback. He always thought that he was a lucky one who was selected by the system to come to this world and give himself a chance to live a wonderful life, but now he heard Lao Wang say that it was a test. My heart was suddenly touched.

"Well, the test, hey, don't ask, I can tell you too much, and I won't tell you if you ask me again"

Hearing what Lao Wang said, Zhang Lan gave up the idea of ​​asking, but changed the subject.

"Then don't care about that, but can you tell me how to solve the problem in front of me? The forces of all parties are restraining each other. I'm afraid I won't be able to get unified until I die of old age. I still want to live a stable life for a few days."

Lao Wang cast him a disdainful glance and said, "It's a pity that you have been a superior for such a long time, and you don't understand the reason."

Zhang Lan was very puzzled, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"An evenly matched enemy needs to use skill to break it; a far superior enemy needs to use strength to break it with force; the enemy is strong and we are weak, so we need to borrow things to counter them; the enemy is far superior to us, we need to retreat, and retreat is the best way Progress, concentrate on development, accumulate a lot of knowledge, and study history for nothing? You are still a college student in the history department." After finishing speaking, Lao Wang turned around, leaving only Zhang Lan with a back.

Zhang Lan was a little dazed again. These words of Lao Wang touched him a lot. Now he can regard Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Zhou Yu as enemies, and Sun Quan as a foreign object.

Cao Cao's alliance with Zhou Yu now is equivalent to being stronger than himself. If he uses Sun Quan to resist Zhou Yu, it can be resisted, not attacked. The only variable is Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei takes the opportunity to attack himself, then it can be said that the enemy's army is far superior to his own, and it is impossible to resist with foreign objects, so he can only show the enemy's weakness, retreat back, concentrate his forces to resist, and let several forces fight each other. Learn from Liu Bang and Gou Jian to develop gunpowder and develop with great concentration.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. The ancients did not deceive me.

Sometimes a single sentence from a person can thoroughly analyze the overall situation, and Zhang Lan is now suddenly enlightened.

But another question came to his mind.

"Oh, Lao Wang, I can't see it, it's pretty good, but how do you know that I went to university, or I majored in history?"

Old Wang's eyes were clearly concentrated, but he was carrying Zhang Lan behind his back, so Zhang Lan didn't notice anything.
