Although the starting point is different, Yu Ji's thoughts at this time are somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang's proposal of Longzhong Pair.
Yizhou has a dangerous terrain, vast fertile land, and superior natural conditions. Xiang Yu's old rival Han Gaozu Liu Bang established the imperial industry because of this. However, Liu Yan of Yizhou and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong were in Yu Ji's eyes.
Not worth mentioning. Compared with Liu Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang, these two people seem too ordinary.
Furthermore, the enemy we faced when attacking Jingbei was stronger, but the harvest was only half of the state. Even if we defeated it, we would have to face the princes of the Central Plains next. But the attack on Yizhou was different, not only
The enemies you face are much weaker and the rewards are greater. And after defeating them, you don't need to face more enemies.
Moreover, while attacking Yizhou, you can send a partial army to attack Jiaozhou. Although Jiaozhou is not very good at this period, if it can be defeated, it can also add considerable strength to the Xiang family.
Although Yu Ji didn’t know much about conquering the world, she still knew the idea of a golden horn with a silver edge. Instead of fighting for the silver edge of Jingzhou, it would be better to capture the golden corner of Yizhou!
Moreover, once the Xiang clan can successfully capture Yizhou, they will have much greater options at that time, whether it is the northern expedition to Guanzhong, attacking Jingbei from the south of Jing, or going down the river to capture Jiangdong.
.
As for the Xiang clan, although Fan Zeng did not deny that what Yu Ji said was reasonable, he would not admit that his idea was wrong. Therefore, both sides insisted on their own opinions, and no one could completely convince the other.
.
However, compared to Fan Zeng, Yu Ji has the full support of Xiang Yu. As the young master of the Xiang clan, Xiang Yu's attitude is naturally very important.
Therefore, Xiang Yan made the decision to support Yu Ji and attack Yizhou.
In Xiang Yan's view, people of his generation are getting older, and the world still belongs to young people, and some things still need to be decided by these young people. What's more, the strategies of Fan Zeng and Yu Ji
It's just that the starting point is different, no one is right or wrong.
Since both parties were correct, Xiang Yan simply agreed to the strategy of these young people.
The Xiang clan's execution ability is indeed strong. Now that they have made a decision, they immediately start preparing to send troops without any delay.
As the Xiang clan's primary goal this time, Yizhou must try to ensure everything is as safe as possible. Therefore, since it is time for the old and strong Xiang Yan to personally lead the expedition!
In order to train Xiang Yu, Xiang Yan also arranged for Xiang Yu to be a leading general. Xiang Yu led the generals Long Qie, Zhong Limei, Yu Ziqi and others to attack Jiaozhou.
Speaking of Xiang Yu, he has indeed changed a lot over the years. Although his personality weaknesses are still obvious, at least he is no longer the boss of the world, but a man who regards the world's heroes as nothing and fanatically only believes in his own force.
Looks like it.
The experience on the Yellow Turban battlefield had a great impact on Xiang Yu. After all, he had always believed that he was invincible, but suddenly he found that there were several people who could compare with him. In this case, he felt natural.
There are some ups and downs.
Of course, these things have become Xiang Yu's motivation. At least at this stage, Xiang Yu has restrained his arrogance slightly, and is more diligent in practicing martial arts. Opponents have always been trying to hone themselves to become stronger, so that they can be more diligent.
Go and defeat him.
…
In addition to the Xiang family, Dong Zhuo also sent envoys to Qin Zheng in Youzhou, Guo Wei and Dou Jiande in Qingzhou, Hong Xiuquan in Yangzhou, and even Chiyou in Yanzhou.
Let’s talk about Hong Xiuquan of Yangzhou first. When Hong Xiuquan first started his army, he was indeed very prosperous. He took over the six counties of Yangzhou and captured the three counties of Lujiang, Jiujiang and Danyang. However, after that, Hong Xiuquan’s life was not easy.
So it went smoothly.
Zhu Yuanzhang is like an indestructible stumbling block. Hong Xiuquan seems to be unable to overcome this stumbling block no matter how hard he steps.
At the beginning, relying on its superiority in military strength, Hong Xiuquan's army was still able to control the overall score, forcing Zhu Yuanzhang to be in a passive defensive state.
But as Zhu Yuanzhang's power grew stronger, and as Jiangdong's large and small aristocratic families began to inject power into Zhu Yuanzhang, Hong Xiuquan gradually changed from the top scorer to the equal match, until he became the current situation.
Downwind.
In the past few years, Hong Xiuquan's forces lost three important figures, Hong Renfa, Zeng Tianyang, and Hu Yihuang, and the losses were quite heavy.
In fact, what Hong Xiuquan did not expect was that Zhu Yuanzhang had no chance to completely eliminate him. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not do this was just to support the bandits' self-respect.
On the one hand, with the existence of Hong Xiuquan, Zhu Yuanzhang had reason to continue to grow his power and expand his military strength. On the other hand, only by keeping Hong Xiuquan, could Zhu Yuanzhang receive continuous support from the large and small aristocratic families in Jiangdong.
He wanted to use the blood of the Jiangdong family to strengthen himself. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did these things very obscurely, so that they are now well hidden, and no one has noticed or even suspected them.
…
"Sir, don't worry, with me here, Zhu Yuanzhang's child will not feel uncomfortable this time! I just hope that when the matter is completed, the prime minister will not forget to promise me something." Hong Xiuquan spent a lot of effort to build
In the palace, Hong Xiuquan looked like a tiger with its teeth and claws, and he said with confidence.
"Then it's thanks to Your Majesty the Heavenly King this time. After the work is completed, the Prime Minister will not forget the contribution of Your Majesty the Heavenly King!" Gao Jiong looked at Hong Xiuquan above him. After hearing Hong Xiuquan's guarantee, he became even more excited.
A hint of a cold smile.
Gao Jiong was the person Dong Zhuo sent to lobby Hong Xiuquan this time, and Gao Jiong did live up to his expectations. Among the several envoys, Gao Jiong was the first to achieve his goal.
As an outstanding politician, strategist, and military strategist of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Jun was also an all-rounder like Wang Meng. In the four dimensions, except for some shortcomings in force, the other three aspects were developed together, whether it was politics.
, resourcefulness, and military ability have all reached a level that many people may not be able to achieve in a lifetime even if they only focus on one aspect.
Although Gao Jiong was implanted as Dong Zhuo's subordinate, it is obvious that Gao Jiong did not get the status he deserved due to his talents, and he was not used as highly as he should have been.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their masters. Dong Zhuo himself was not a good enough lord, and he could not be reused. So when Yang Jian gradually appeared in Gao Jian's sight, Gao Jian had some other small thoughts in his heart.
thought.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, was naturally not a person who had lived under others for a long time. He was so affectionate and affectionate. With my concubine's intention, the two people quickly became familiar with each other.
