Zhang Zhao changed his mind and asked with a smile: "Master Lu's poems are admirable. But I have a question. Master Lu has a good family background and a good family background. As the son of Governor Lu, what are your future plans?" "
"Hahaha……"
Qiao Yu was the first to laugh.
Zhang Zhao looked confused and asked: "Brother Qiao, why are you laughing suddenly?"
Qiao Yu explained: "Nephew Lu Xian just arrived at my house and I asked the same question."
Zhang Zhao's cheeks twitched.
He wanted to test Lu Xuan's vision and ability. A person who is good at writing poetry must at most have outstanding literary talent and be a scholar.
In troubled times, such people may not be able to gain a foothold, so Zhang Zhao wanted to test it out, but unexpectedly asked the same question as Qiao Yu.
This is embarrassing.
Zhang Zhao was thick-skinned and immediately regained his composure and asked with a smile: "Brother Qiao, how did Mr. Lu answer?"
Qiao Yu said: "Xiannephew, in front of my brother, I won't do it for you. Please repeat it again, what did you think about it? This time, neither you nor I knew that brother Xian would come. What you said is impossible. Fake.”
Zhang Zhao smiled in his heart.
Qiao Yu clearly meant that it was impossible to collude with Lu Xuan to deceive Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao believed this.
He looked at Lu Xuan with expectant eyes, hoping that Lu Xuan would not disappoint him.
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Mr. Zibu, my consideration is not complicated. I can sum it up in four words and divide the world into two."
"Divide the world into two?"
There was a hint of surprise on Zhang Zhao's angular face.
From Lu Xuan's answer, Zhang Zhao felt Lu Xuan's strong ambition.
It's actually normal.
Ever since Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, and Li Jue and Guo Si entered the court after Dong Zhuo's death and treated the emperor as a plaything, the imperial power has fallen from the altar. All the princes in the world were so ambitious that they did not take the emperor seriously.
Zhang Zhao was not surprised that Lu Xuan wanted to divide the world.
Lu Xuan looked calm and said unhurriedly: "Yuan Shu captured Jiujiang County and established himself in Shouchun. His goal is the entire Yangzhou. I judge that Yuan Shu's next step is most likely to attack Lujiang County..."
Lu Xuan's explanation this time was more specific and detailed, starting from establishing a foothold in Lujiang, then expelling Yuan Shu to control Yangzhou, and finally expanding westward to capture Jingzhou, laying the foundation for dividing the world into two.
Lu Xuan finished talking about the detailed plan and finally said: "After dividing the world into two parts, if there is an opportunity, we will wait for the opportunity to go north. But this step is too far away."
Zhang Zhao's eyes flashed and he was shocked.
Lu Xuan's analysis is extremely forward-looking.
The more Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Xuan, the more he admired him, and asked: "According to Mr. Lu's analysis, after taking Yangzhou, why didn't he choose to go north to Xuzhou instead of going west? Tao Qian has some strength, but Tao Qian is old and cannot defend Xuzhou."
At this moment, Zhang Zhao's eyes were even brighter.
This step is the key.
Based on Lujiang!
Capture Yangzhou!
This is a very normal operation, and anyone with a little knowledge will know it. But the next step of capturing Yangzhou is the most important.
Lu Xuan was right to go west.
The specific reason is what Zhang Zhao is eager to understand, and he can use Lu Xuan's analysis to observe Lu Xuan's vision and strategy.
Lu Xuan looked serious and replied: "The reason why I went to Jingzhou instead of going north to Xuzhou is because Xuzhou's geographical location is different. To the west of Xuzhou is Yanzhou Cao Cao, and to the north is the turbulent Qingzhou."
"To capture Xuzhou, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao both have ideas and will send troops to intervene."
"A place with four battles is not worth my efforts to fight for."
"Jingzhou is different."
"Jingzhou is far away from the Central Plains. In addition, although Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, has some abilities, he is a conservative man and is unable to expand. The north of Jingzhou is currently occupied by the Yellow Turban bandits, so when I attack Jingzhou, there will be no external force to stop me."
Lu Xuan looked confident and said, "Attacking Jingzhou is the only option."
Zhang Zhao showed admiration and praised: "Many people have seen the prosperity of Xuzhou, but they have not seen the danger of Xuzhou. The place of Xuzhou's Four Battles is indeed not worth planning. I admire Mr. Lu's analysis."
Lu Xuan said modestly: "Thank you, sir."
Qiao Yu took the words and said: "Brother Xian, nephew Lu Xian is very talented. He is not a talker on paper or a boaster. He has real talent and learning."
Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "That's true."
Zhang Zhao turned his eyes, intending to test Lu Xuan further, and said again: "Master Lu, I still have a question."
Lu Xuandao: "Sir, please tell me."
Zhang Zhao's eyes were firm and he said: "Currently, among the princes in the north, there are Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang troops in Guanzhong, Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and Cao Cao in Yanzhou."
"The situation looks very complicated."
"Actually, I think Cao Cao has the appearance of a hero, and Yuan Shao has the heart of a king. In the fight between various princes, the two people who are fighting for it in the end must be Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Mr. Lu thinks who will have the last laugh, Cao Cao or Yuan Shao Woolen cloth?"
Qiao Yu frowned and said, "Brother Xian, with so many princes in the north, the situation is complicated. Moreover, there is a huge disparity in strength between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Isn't your problem to make things difficult for Lu Xuan?"
He was a little dissatisfied.
It is true that Zhang Zhao is his good friend, but Zhang Zhao's problem is a bit complicated.
In the eyes of Qiao Yu, the prospective father-in-law, he couldn't bear to see his son-in-law being made things difficult for him.
Zhang Zhao explained: "Brother Qiao, I have no intention of making things difficult. I'm just happy to see you, and I will discuss it with Mr. Lu and listen to Mr. Lu's analysis."
Qiao Yu nodded.
There was some worry in his eyes, fearing that Lu Xuan wouldn't be able to keep up with Zhang Zhao's thoughts.
Lu Xuan said without thinking: "Mr. Zibu, Cao Cao will win and Yuan Shao will lose."
Zhang Zhao was surprised and reminded: "Master Lu answered directly without thinking, which is a bit hasty."
Lu Xuan shook his head and replied: "My answer is thoughtful."
Zhang Zhaodao: "I would like to hear the details."
Lu Xuan explained: "The reason is very simple. Yuan Shao wielded power, indulged in the fighting among the factions under his command, and caused internal strife and internal strife, which made him inferior to Cao Cao."
"Yuan Shao is very smart, that's true. But the officials under his command are very complicated. There are Xu You and Feng Ji who were born in Nanyang. They are Yuan Shao's old subordinates."
"There are also Tian Feng, Jushou and Shenpei who are from Jizhou and represent the interests of Jizhou."
"There are also people like Guo Tu, Xun Chen and Xin Ping who are from Yingchuan and represent Yingchuan's interests."
"The various factions are fighting fiercely, trying to undermine each other, and their interests are not unified. In addition, Yuan Shao likes to play balance and power, which makes the internal fighting more intense."
Lu Xuan talked eloquently and said: "Looking at Cao Cao, the civil servants are Yingchuan scholars headed by Xun Yu, Xun You and others, and the military generals are the Cao family of Qiao County headed by Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others. Cao Cao Group If one person is sent out and there is no internal friction, even if the strength is weaker, Cao Cao will definitely win in the end."
boom! !
A flash of lightning seemed to flash through Zhang Zhao's mind, splitting the fog.
He and many celebrities discussed the situation in the north, and also discussed Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, analyzing both parties' personalities and origins, as well as their strength and territory.
No one has ever considered Lu Xuan's entry point.
A battle of interests!
Faction war!
This is a fundamental analysis.
Lu Xuan was able to put forward such an argument not only because of his outstanding strategy, but also because of his far-reaching vision. Another key point is that Lu Xuanren is in Shu County, but he has always paid attention to the news from the outside world. He is not the so-called dull and weak person.
Lu Xuan has a tiger in his heart.
Zhang Zhao thought of Sun Ce again. When he looked at Sun Ce, he felt that Sun Ce had great ambitions and a bright future. Now Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Xuan and felt that Lu Xuan was unfathomable and had a deep palace at such a young age.
This is a powerful person.
Zhang Zhao stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I am convinced by Mr. Lu's words."
Lu Xuan said modestly: "Thank you, sir. My judgment is just my personal opinion and not worth mentioning. If you leave this out, many people might even ridicule you."
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said firmly: "The bustling world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. The cause of everything is for profit. Only by analyzing it from the perspective of profit can we find the root cause."
Qiao Yu looked at it with an expression on his face that became more and more proud.
Qiao Yu was also surprised by Lu Xuan's analysis.
He didn't know much about political matters, and he had no impression of the people under Yuan Shao's command. After listening to Lu Xuan's words and seeing Zhang Zhao's admiring look, Qiao Yu felt happy in his heart and felt happy for Lu Xuan.
Qiao Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's sit down and talk."
Zhang Zhao did not sit down, his eyes became sharper.
Lu Xuan's plan is to divide the world into two parts, or even compete for it. The Lu family is a wealthy family in Yangzhou, and they have the support of Lu Kang.
In such a troubled world, Lu Xuan had a chance to achieve success.
Zhang Zhao also had his own considerations. He looked down upon Tao Qian, Yuan Shu was extravagant and domineering, and Cao Cao had already occupied a state, so it would be difficult for him to be reused after he left.
Lu Xuan, this is his chance.
Investing in Lu Xuan now, as long as he wins the bet, he will have a bright future.
Zhang Zhao is a decisive person. After making a decision, he saluted decisively and said: "Young Master Lu has a broad mind and a far-reaching pattern. I admire you. If Mr. Lu establishes his own business, Zhang Zhao is willing to work for Mr. Lu."
Lu Xuan was overjoyed.
Zhang Zhao is a capable minister in handling government affairs. With Zhang Zhao here, Lu Xuan will be even more powerful if he wants to strive for hegemony.
Lu Xuan replied: "In three months at most, I will build up my own strength. At that time, I will personally ask your husband to come out and help me."
Zhang Zhaodao: "I am waiting for you in this humble position."
