Lu Su looked at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was in his early twenties, not immature at all, and exuded the majesty and magnanimity of a superior. Even though Lu Xuan is a corporal, his status and demeanor will not change.
When Lu Su came to visit Lu Xuan, he had no other intentions or thoughts of temptation. He just came to seek refuge. Lu Xuan based himself in Lujiang County and captured Danyang, Wu County, and Jiujiang. His foundation in the south has been completely consolidated.
If you defected later, you would have missed the opportunity, so when Lu Xuan arrived in Dongcheng County, he took the initiative to come.
What surprised Lu Su was that Lu Xuan actually knew his cousin's name.
And, greet him personally.
Even though Lu Su had a good psychological quality, he could not help but feel flattered when he saw Lu Xuan's attention. A trace of joy flashed between his brows, his face was serious, and he cupped his hands and said: "Lu Su, meet Mr. Lu."
Lu Xuan smiled and waved his hand, welcoming: "Mr. Zijing, please."
"please!"
Lu Su returned the gift with his hand in hand.
He followed Lu Xuan into the Chinese army's tent and sat down.
Lu Su saw a map of Xuzhou hanging in Lu Xuan's tent, and was obviously thinking about the war in Xuzhou.
Lu Su did not go around in circles and said directly: "Lu Shijun captured Dongcheng County. Is the next step going to Xuyi County to join Zhou Yu and attack Liu Bei together?"
"yes!"
Lu Xuan answered directly.
His eyes were shining, and he was looking forward to Lu Su's analysis.
Lu Xuan's subordinates lacked a strategist like Lu Su who could make big-picture plans for Lu Xuan. Although Pang Tong is good, he is too young and has insufficient experience and ability.
Xu Shu is also capable, but Xu Shu is still inferior to Lu Su.
Lu Su's strategic vision was extremely unique.
This is what Lu Xuan needs.
Lu Su smiled slightly and said, "Shijun Lu went south this time. I think I missed the best strategy."
Lu Xuan asked: "What strategy?"
Lu Su stood up, strode to the hanging map of Xuzhou, and said: "The key to the connection between Xuzhou and Yanzhou lies in Pengcheng State, which borders Yanzhou. The key to Pengcheng State is in Xiaopei."
"Because if you go south from Xiaopei, you can follow the Surabaya River directly to Pengcheng. Then from Pengcheng, follow the Surabaya River directly to Xiapi County."
"This is the most convenient waterway."
"Why Tao Qian asked Liu Bei to guard Xiaopei is because the geographical location of Xiaopei is very critical. If you master Xiaopei, you will master the gateway to the west of Xuzhou. Because Xiaopei is the only place for water logistics, Cao Cao wants to go south to attack Xuzhou , you must go to Xiaopei.”
At this moment, Lu Su was talking eloquently.
A look of wisdom appeared in his eyes.
Lu Xuan stared at the map, his eyes lit up, and he looked like he was suddenly enlightened. However, his expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said: "Mr. Zijing, please continue."
Lu Su continued: "Lu Shijun went to help Cao Cao. This move was very clever. It maintained the current situation in Yanzhou and made Yanzhou act as a barrier to buffer Lu Shijun and Yuan Shao from fighting. It also prevented Yuan Shao's forces from easily moving south. .”
"This is an excellent arrangement."
"Just the path back, I think is wrong."
"When Lu Shijun rushed to help Cao Cao, he arranged for Zhou Yu and his men to go north to attack Xuzhou. In this case, no matter whether Zhou Yu's action was successful or not, whether he won or lost, Lu Shijun could go from Yanzhou , directly seize Xiaopei and enter Pengcheng Kingdom."
"This road must go through the territory of Yanzhou. Only when Lu Shijun rushes to help Cao Cao and withdraws his troops from Yanzhou can he have the opportunity to raid Xiaopei."
"Even if Lu Shijun doesn't know that Tao Qian is dead and Liu Bei has gone to Xiapi. But if Tao Qian wants to resist Zhou Yu, he must mobilize Liu Bei. Therefore, if Lu Shijun attacks Xiapi, he will be able to seize Pengcheng Kingdom and attack Xiapi. .”
After Lu Su finished speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down. He smiled and said, "This is the reason why Lu Shijun missed the best strategy as mentioned below."
Lu Xuan was filled with admiration in his heart.
Lu Su's vision is indeed unique.
When Lu Xuan went south, if he had not returned to Jiujiang County and directly attacked Xiaopei, the situation in Xuzhou would have changed. The key is that Liu Bei has just taken charge of Xuzhou and there are still many internal problems.
At this time, Lu Xuan could take advantage of his sudden attack on Xiapi.
Missed opportunity.
Lu Xuan felt a little sorry.
However, when Lu Xuan saw Lu Su, he was even more happy. He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zijing's words are enlightening. Lu Xuan admires him. It's a pity that I met Mr. Zijing too late."
Lu Su said: "Lu Shijun has appeared in Dongcheng County and must have been discovered by Liu Bei's sentry. Therefore, if Lu Shijun leads the army to quietly go north now, it is no longer realistic and will not be effective. Instead, it will scare the snake."
"So, let's not make a move for now."
"Hide this step first."
Lu Su looked calm and said with a smile: "Lu Shijun joined Zhou Yu according to the original plan. His troops are strong and strong, and he can defeat the ten groups with one force. I think it is enough to defeat Liu Bei's army in Xuyi County."
Lu Xuan said: "I have the confidence to defeat Liu Bei. Mr. Zijing, what should I do if I want to compete in the world?"
He stared at Lu Su sincerely.
This is the key.
Lu Xuan's previous strategy was to divide the world into two, capture Yangzhou first, and then capture Jingzhou, forming a general trend of establishing a foothold in the south and separatizing one side.
This time when we intervened in the battle for Xuzhou, the situation changed.
Lu Su stroked his short beard under his chin and said confidently: "Lü Bu and Zhang Miao rebelled against Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and the situation in the Central Plains suddenly changed. If it weren't for Lu Bu and Zhang Miao's rebellion, Cao Cao would have entered Xuzhou and captured Xuzhou unstoppably. "
"Further, Cao Cao captures Yuzhou and Qingzhou, which blocks Lu Shijun's northward movement."
"Under this premise, Lu Shijun should turn his target to Jingzhou and choose the strategy of basing himself in the south."
"But now, because of the betrayal of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, Cao Cao is held back and trapped in Yanzhou, which gives Lu Shijun a chance. As long as Lu Shijun defeats Liu Bei in one battle and seizes Xuzhou first, Cao Cao will be the one who suffers. "
Lu Su talked freely and freely.
He was well versed in these thoughts.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Su with more and more admiration in his heart, because his previous strategy was to base himself in the south.
Lu Xuan looked forward to it more and more.
Lu Su continued: "After Cao Cao's living space is compressed, he cannot capture Xuzhou, and it is impossible to start a war with Lu Shijun. I conclude that Cao Cao's next step will be to Yuzhou, and the further focus will be on Guanzhong."
"As for Qingzhou, it is no longer important. Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qingzhou was deserted and difficult to manage. At most, we can send someone to take care of it. Cao Cao can seize the best, and if he can't seize it, he will leave it alone for the time being."
"In this way, Cao Cao can gain a foothold."
"Yuan Shao's focus in the rear is still Youzhou Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao will completely wipe out Gongsun Zan and annex Youzhou. He will also capture Bingzhou, and then plan to go south."
"At this point, the situation in the world will be clear. After all, Yizhou is relatively safe, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou has no ambitions."
"In other words, the general trend of the world in the future lies between Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Lu Shijun. This is the general trend of the future."
Lu Xuan looked approvingly.
After Lu Su's analysis, it is indeed very clear. Especially since Lu Xuan was in Yangzhou, it was impossible for him to let Jingzhou be taken away by Liu Bei.
Liu Bei does not have Jingzhou, and it is difficult to go to Yizhou to reach the sky. Therefore, the future situation will no longer be the three pillars in history.
As for the future, what kind of changes will happen, that is the future.
For the time being, it is the result of Lu Su's analysis.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zijing, how do you think I can break the situation?"
Lu Su looked calm and replied: "In the situation where Lu Shijun, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are competing for supremacy, the best choice is to join forces with Yuan Shao to first destroy Cao Cao and seize the Central Plains, while at the same time swallowing up Jingzhou and winning over the people in Jingzhou. "
"There are quite a lot of Jingzhou scholars under Lu Shijun's command. With the existence of these people, as long as Lu Shijun has established a general trend, it will be easy to seize Jingzhou. After all, Liu Biao is in Jingzhou and relies on the Jingzhou big family."
"Once Liu Biao loses the support of these powerful families, he will be a grasshopper after the fall."
"Liu Biao's success is also a big family, and his defeat is also a big family."
"So under the premise of uniting with Yuan Shao, as long as Cao Cao is destroyed or Cao Cao is driven into the pass, Lu Shijun's power will be further strengthened and he will have a big advantage. Next, if Yuan Shao is destroyed, most of the world will be under Lu Shijun's control In hand."
"In order to destroy Yuan Shao in the future, there is still a crucial step."
A flash of light flashed across Lu Su's eyes.
Lu Xuan looked urgent and asked: "Which step?"
Lu Su looked solemn and said loudly: "Liaodong."
