Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

At this time, a "main counselor" is needed to sort out opinions, analyze the pros and cons for the lord, and assist him in making decisions.

For example, some small and medium-sized forces, or forces in the early stages of development, actually do not encounter such problems.

For example, Cao Cao's side before 196 AD, the absolute core of his power was Xi Zhicai.Because apart from Xi Zhicai, it is difficult for the entire Cao Wei forces to come up with a second decent counselor.

The same situation can also be applied to the Liu Bei Group before Zhuge Liang joined, or the Sun Ce Group before Lu Su was recommended.

Among Liu Bei's group, Mi Zhu is the one and only absolute mastermind.Even after Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others joined Liu Bei's command, he still maintained a considerable status.

Not to mention Sun Ce Group.

Flesh and blood relatives within, entrusted with the meaning of the monarch and ministers outside, this sentence is not just talking.

Sun Ce trusted Zhou Yu just as he trusted himself.

……

In fact, only when the power gradually develops and more and more advisers are supported, will the role of the mastermind begin to appear in the group.

Applied to the heroes of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it is as if Guo Jia in the middle of Cao Wei was the leader, suppressing the Xun family led by Xun You and the Chen family led by Chen Qun by himself, so that they would not be affected by internal opinions. Violent conflicts erupted.

It is foreseeable that if there is no Guo Jia, the two types of counselor groups with different governance ideas, different strategy styles, and even different interest positions will explode under Cao Cao's command.

And the same situation happened in the coalition forces of the eighteenth princes in the Kanto region at this moment.

Leaving aside the other roads, just following Zhang Yan's road alone, there are five or six princes at the prefect level, and among these princes, which one doesn't have one or two advisers who can advise him?

It’s fine if it’s normal. After all, you talk to me, and different ideas influence each other. It is very likely that you can check for gaps and make up for gaps, and bring something out of the ordinary.

And now it's wartime...

Anyone who has experienced war knows that the most important thing in wartime is not to make an "absolutely correct" decision, but to choose a "less wrong" one in the shortest possible time.

The impact of timeliness on strategies in wartime is far more serious than in normal times.

Although these things are quite common in today's "circle" of counselors, and they are like consensus things... But from the perspective of decision makers, or the perspective of group leaders, they are often not noticed.

Therefore, at this moment, neither Zhang Yan, the leader of the alliance, nor the other princes were aware of Lu Su's true purpose, while Mi Zhu keenly sensed an unusual aura.

If his estimate is correct, Lu Su intends to indirectly compete for a "conspirator" of the entire coalition army through the contacts among the people today.

In other words, whoever can gain the initiative in today's confrontation, or even have absolute control over the topic, from that day on, the staff right of the entire coalition army will also fall on this person.

At that time, no matter whose counselor is in the coalition forces, they will do their best to support this "conspirator".

It is not that they are not loyal to their lord.

It's just that as a "smart person", anyone who can serve as a counselor for one side should understand to some extent how important the four words "work together" are to achieve a major event.

……

Looking around at this moment, Mi Zhu quietly found that among the princes present, as well as their respective counselors and generals, most of the generals looked indifferent.

This is also in line with the characteristics of most generals in this era-the things that use their brains are done by dedicated battlefield staff.

They don't need to think about how to do it, they just need to know what to do, that's enough.

And most of the princes responsible for leading the people did not respond to the words of the counselor named "Lu Zijing".

These people may not even realize that Lu Zijing is a counselor...

They just looked at this young man who will be less than 20 years old with great interest, as if they were watching the excitement.

That's right, these guys... also didn't realize that in the next period of time, everyone will decide whether they have the right to speak in the alliance.

……

No, perhaps among these people, there is an exception.

……

When his eyes met the leader of the alliance, Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang, Mi Zhu suddenly found that his "old friend" was also looking thoughtful.

And judging by his expression, he was faintly... a little dignified?

……

Could it be that this envoy is still a counselor-type lord?

Did he understand Lu Zijing's allusion just now?

Thinking of this, Mi Zhu couldn't help feeling a little bit interested in Zhang Yan.

Such an expression was not common among the princes present.

And speaking of his knowledge of the other party, at least it was more than two years ago, when he first met Zhang Yan in Luoyang.

At that time, Mi Zhu went to Luoyang to contact Zhang Yan under the order of his lord Tao Qian. At the same time, he supported Zhang Yan with a wave of armor and weapons by selling half and giving away.

Barely considered a small investment.

This time we met again after two years, Mi Zhu recalled those memories of the past, and was suddenly a little surprised to find that he had no understanding of this rising star rising in the south.

Even if he had to say it, his impression of Zhang Yan... the deepest was that he proposed to entrust his younger sister to the other party at that time, in order to establish a relationship between the two families and draw in the relationship, but the other party flatly rejected the proposal. thing.

Just because of this incident, he had a big fight with his younger brother Mi Fang, and after that, Mi Fang felt grateful to Zhang Yan because Zhang Yan refused the marriage.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of going out on a business trip, Mi Fang went directly to Zhang Yan's command, never returned to Xuzhou, and returned to Mi's house for a day...

……

Now, with Zhang Yan's preoccupied appearance, he obviously already knows, or has seen through, the meaning of Lu Zijing's seemingly sloppy, but in fact full of initiative behavior.

Such a protagonist... In today's chaotic world, although it cannot be said that there is no one in a thousand miles, it can be called a rare one.

And as one of the very few "brained" leaders, Mi Zhu can be sure that it must be a very relaxing and pleasant thing to get in touch with a lord like Zhang Yan.

At least, that was the case for his advisers.

……

At this moment, facing Mi Zhu's obviously emotional eyes, Zhang Yan soon realized that he was being watched by the other party.

Unaware of the other party's mental state, he immediately raised his head to look in Mi Zhu's direction, and smiled kindly.

This move made Mi Zhu even more convinced that what Lu Zijing did before was approved by Zhang Yan... even guided and manipulated by Zhang Yan behind the scenes!

The reason why Zhang Yan showed a hesitant look before was just to reduce the suspicion of their counselors under the command of other princes.

His real purpose... is probably through this behavior, to completely take the right to speak of the alliance into his own hands.

Mi Zhu thought silently.

……

In fact, speaking from the bottom of his heart, Mi Zhu thought that Zhang Yan was a little too cautious.

You know, who are present here today?

They were all allies who had been hypocritical with Zhang Yan, traded with each other for tax exemption, and even had defense cooperation.

In front of these people, even if Zhang Yan does nothing, he can still use considerable command power.

From Mi Zhu's point of view, Lu Su's attempt to fight for the identity of the mastermind was simply superfluous.

……

Your lord is the person with the most right to speak, and you are your lord's schemer...

That being the case, what else is there to say?

You give the plan directly, and the rest of us can help you check the gaps and make up for the gaps. How could anyone take the risk of offending Zhang Yan to argue with you?

……

But then again.

Faced with Lu Su's provocative behavior, Mi Zhu actually had a rare feeling of being competitive in his heart.

Be good... How many years has he not had this kind of thought?

Three years, five years, or ten years?

……

In fact, ever since Mi Zhu took over the Mi family as the head of the family and gained a firm foothold in Xuzhou, he never felt this way again.

Xuzhou is Tao Qian's voice, and Tao Qian obeys Mi Zhu's words.

This is like Lujiang is to Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan is to Nalu Zijing.

Even the Chen family, Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, who are also the top family in Xuzhou, are far less influential than Mi Zhu in front of Tao Qian.

Feeling the eyes that the other party gave her from time to time, Mi Zhu only felt that she seemed to have returned to the time when she was young again.

A rare hot blood boiled in his chest again.

……

Looking around now, in the big tent at this moment, everyone has almost digested what Lu Zijing said earlier.

Judging by their expressions, there are probably only seven or eight people who really realize the importance of this matter.

Some of them are like Chen Gui. Although their brains can't be said to be fast, they have enough experience.

With decades of experience, the old man who thoroughly understood Lu Su's plans.

……

In other words, in today's big tent, the person who is really capable of competing with them for the position of mastermind is just a ticket for admission, and the vast majority of them have been screened out.

The rest, at most, are five or six.

Mi Zhu glanced around, and remembered the appearance of these people in his mind.

Afterwards, he didn't say much, but turned around and glanced at the Patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Gui, who was also kneeling behind Tao Qian.

This time, in order to support Tao Qian's behavior of begging for Dong, although Chen Gui was old, he still insisted on following the other party and came here all the way. It can be said that he has worked hard.

……

Almost at the same moment, when Mi Zhu looked at Chen Gui, Chen Gui also turned to look at Mi Zhu as if telepathically.

The two immediately exchanged a quiet conversation through each other's eyes.

……

"Since that's the case, let Su write down the strategy in his mind first. If you have any opinions, it's okay to say it."
