Chapter 562 Zhou Yu's Strategy for the World

Lujiang prefecture.

Sun Ce slowly moved forward along the straight road, sorting out what happened during this period in his mind, feeling a little excited.No matter how you look at it, the situation is looking good, and there is no reason to worry too much.

It would be even better if we could win the front lines of Wanxian, Chaohu and Changhe Towns, but it's a pity that these places are in the hands of Jia thief.But judging from the situation in the world and even what happened in Jiangnan, he won't be rampant for long.

After all, this Jiangnan is his own, and it can only be his own.

Because the flag of the Sun family must be hung in the vast Jiangnan land to establish a foundation for hundreds of years for my Sun family.

"Gongjin, what do you think our army's chances of winning this battle are?"

"Whether you look at the situation in the world or what happened in the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, our army has won and lost."

Zhou Yu, who was standing aside, spoke firmly.

The corners of Sun Ce's mouth curled up, obviously this inference was the same as what he thought in his heart.

"Today the world has shown a dispute between the two Yuans"

"Yuan Benchu ​​in the north is sitting in Jizhou, with Yanzhou as his wings, and Liu Jingzhou in the south and Jiangnan who joined the alliance not long ago are irresistible. In the Central Plains, Yuan Gong is sitting in Yuzhou, with Xuzhou as his wings, uniting Jiaozhou and the north. Gongsun Zan, surrounded by Yuan Benchu."

"The strength of the two sides is evenly matched. Even in terms of money, food and military strength, Yuan Gong has a better chance of winning."

Zhou Yu paused at this point.

Organized his words a little bit, and continued to analyze to Sun Ce.

"Whether it is Jizhou or Yanzhou, Jingzhou, and Jiangnan, there are huge hidden dangers. For example, the Black Mountain Army in Bingzhou and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou can make Yuan Benchu ​​unable to spare. As for Yanzhou, there is no time for others. Qingzhou Yellow Turban can be plundered." It won’t be settled in three or two days.”

"On the other hand, Yuan Gong, Yuzhou is the land of the Yuan family, which has been in operation for hundreds of years. Although it is dilapidated, the strength of the aristocratic family has not suffered much loss. In the name of four generations and three princes, it is easy to mobilize all the people in the whole state. In the north, Cao Mengde defends against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, in the east, Xuzhou is used as a wing, and Jiaozhou is added, forming a pincer attack on the entire south. At this time, let alone a Jiangnan with internal and external troubles, it is no problem to use troops against Jingzhou and Jiangnan at the same time. Down"

Hearing this, Sun Ce vaguely felt something.

He stopped and looked at Zhou Yu.

"You prefer Yuan Gong to abandon the Central Plains and go south to Jingzhou and Jiangnan?"

"At this time, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains did not live here for a long time. On the contrary, Jingzhou and Yangzhou were relatively peaceful. If they could get Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and go west to Yizhou, they would be able to occupy half of the country. At that time, the princes of the Central Plains and Guanzhong were already exhausted. You can take advantage of the momentum and go northward to form the trend of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves."

"No matter how difficult it is to rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Why fear the northern princes?"

As Zhou Yu spoke, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and a huge chessboard appeared in his heart, followed by densely packed chess pieces.

Sun Ce thought quickly.

"Can Duke Yuan do it?"

"I can't do it, but my lord can do it"

Zhou Yu said firmly.

Sun Strategy was slightly surprised.

"Where did Gongjin say that?"

"Mr. Yuan is too proud and despises the heroes of the world. If he occupies Jing and Yang states, and also sits in Yuzhou with Xu and Jiao states as his wings, he will do great things. At that time, the lord only needs to hand over the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to this person. , you can take advantage of the situation to escape”

"At that time, all the eyes of the people in the world will be on Yuan Gong, and the heroes will be furious and raise their troops to attack. The lord can take advantage of the situation and shout. With the background and connections of the Sun family, Yangzhou can easily change hands. If If we can make good friends with the prefects of Jingzhou's counties in advance, then the western merger of Jingzhou will be a matter of course."

The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth twitched involuntarily as the words fell, a sense of arrogance rose in his heart, and he continued without waiting for Sun Ce to speak.

"There were Yuan Benchu, Cao Cao and others attacking outside, and the lord turned against him inside. After losing the two states of Jing and Yang, Yuan Gong's defeat became a foregone conclusion. But it is not a problem to support the Yuan family for two or three years. At that time, the lord There's a lot to do in the South"

"Without the support of Yuzhou, Jiaozhou is under the oppression of Jingzhou and Yangzhou. My lord only needs to send an envoy to take over Jiaozhou. At that time, I sent troops westward, attacking Yizhou from Jiaozhou on the one hand, and entering Sichuan from Jingzhou on the other. Facing the soldiers of Jing, Yang, and Jiao, how can Yizhou be undefeated even if Yizhou has natural dangers?"

"At most three years, the lord will be able to collect all the land in the south, the four prefectures of Yang, Jing, Jiao, and Yi. At that time, the general will be sent to lead the soldiers of Yizhou to the north to Guanzhong, the soldiers of Jingzhou to the north to Yuzhou, and the soldiers of Yangzhou to attack Xuzhou."

"Cao Cao and Yuan Benchu's attack on Yuzhang must have been exhausted. How can they resist the power of the four southern states?"

"From the perspective of terrain, military strength and population, even if Guanzhong, Central Plains and the North join forces, they will be able to equalize with the four southern states and form a stalemate. What's more, these places are still in a state of disunity at this time."

"The general trend lies with the master, as long as the aristocratic families of the four states are reconciled, and the internal forces are stabilized. No matter how the situation changes in the north, it is only a matter of time before the world is stabilized."

Sun Ce's breathing became short of breath, and his field of vision seemed to rise instantly following these words.It seems to have seen the scene where all states in the world are planted with Sun's flags. If this is the case, then there will be no regrets in this life.

"Yangzhou is the most powerful of the four states in the south of the Yangtze River, followed by Jingzhou and Yizhou. As for Jiaozhou, it can only be at the end"

"As long as the lord can manage Jiangnan well, then this strategy will be more than half successful. Therefore, after we wipe out the Jia thieves, we should find a way to recommend people from the Wu family, Zhang family, and Zhu family in Wu County to Yuan Gong, and let them be in the family as much as possible. The four counties in the south of the Yangtze River took up important positions"

"Gongjin's words make sense"

Sun Ce nodded repeatedly.

In fact, even if he does not recommend it, Yuan Gong wants to rule Jiangnan and not repeat the mistakes of Jia thief.Only relying on the local aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, as the heads of the four counties' aristocratic families, they can easily be reused.

Thinking of this, a question suddenly emerged.

"If Jiangnan can't take it, what should we do?"

"Convincing Duke Yuan to give up Yangzhou and join hands with Jiaozhou to plan Jingzhou. According to the reputation of the fourth and third princes, Jingzhou's aristocratic families will definitely hesitate. In addition, Jiaozhou sent troops to Jingzhou to be empty. At that time, troops can come to Xiangyang and kill Liu Biao to occupy the eight counties of Jingzhou."

"From now on, I will map to Yizhou and sit back and watch the changes in the world"

Zhou Yu said without thinking.

Obviously he has been thinking about it in private for a long time, otherwise his tone would not be so firm.

If you can't occupy Yangzhou under the current situation, and you can't take control of Jiangnan, then it will be unacceptable to plot Jiangnan.The only way is to change direction and seize Jingzhou, which is relatively easy.

"If Jingzhou can't be captured, what should we do?"

"Borrow the power of Duke Yuan to enter the Guanzhong from the west, but from now on, the Lord needs to rest assured under the wings of Duke Yuan. If the time is not ripe, you must not show your intention to stand on your own."

Zhou Yu spoke with a slightly heavy tone.

This is a bad strategy, because the Sun family's influence and connections are deepest in Jiangnan, followed by Jingzhou.Other than that, there is no foundation in other places, and only by relying on the Yuan family can we find a glimmer of hope.
