When Luo Yang changed into his official uniform and rushed to the meeting hall, Zhao Yun and other five generals as well as Xi Zhicai had already arrived. Seeing Luo Yang coming, everyone saluted and shouted in unison: "See you, my lord!"
Luo Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! There are no outsiders here, so don't be so polite!" As he said that, Luo Yang walked straight to the main seat in the meeting hall and sat down.
Go down. After seeing Luo Yang take his seat, everyone stood up straight and sat back to their original positions.
Luo Yang glanced at everyone sitting down. Except for Xi Zhicai who still looked calm, Zhao Yun and other generals all looked excited. Obviously they could guess that Luo Yang must have summoned them here to discuss the takeover.
Come down and send troops! People like Zhao Yun are all war-like people. They have not been on the battlefield for a long time since they took over Yizhou four years ago. Of course, they are looking forward to this expedition!
Luo Yang smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone must know the reason why I called everyone here today! That's right! We have been recharging our strength in the past few years, and now it's time for the world to see how powerful we are! No!
Do you know if you are ready?"
Hearing what Luo Yang said, Zhao Yun and others immediately stood up, clasping their fists and shouting: "The final general is always ready! I am willing to wipe out the world for my lord and achieve hegemony!"
"Okay!" Luo Yang cheered and motioned for all the generals to sit down first. Then he turned to Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai! Do you have any opinions?"
Xi Zhicai smiled faintly. With his IQ, he learned that Luo Yang suddenly summoned the generals to come to the Governor's Mansion to discuss with him. Naturally, he guessed what Luo Yang was thinking. He smiled and said: "Lord! Before I express my subordinates' opinions,
, How about we first explain the situation of all the princes in the world one by one!" After saying that, Xi Zhicai took out a thick dozen of brocade silk from his sleeves, these were all ordered by Xi Zhicai before
People are asking Jia Xu, the leader of the Imperial Guard, for intelligence information from all over the world.
"The first is Dong Zhuo, who occupied Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou and Chang'an! Ever since Dong Zhuo escaped from Luoyang City and entered Hangu Pass in the west, Dong Zhuo has sealed all the passes leading to other regions and built an iron barrel
Defense zone! While Dong Zhuo himself was enjoying himself in Chang'an, the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo even burned, killed and looted in the pass, committing all kinds of evil! Now the population of Liangzhou, Yongzhou and Bingzhou has been reduced by nearly 70%! However, the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo
However, the Liang army did not weaken because of this. On the contrary, Dong Zhuo ordered his generals to forcibly recruit strong men to expand the strength of the Xiliang army. As of the end of last year, it was roughly estimated that Dong Zhuo had nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses! In addition, there were
With powerful generals like Lu Bu and Xu Rong, Dong Zhuo is only slightly stronger than us! But now Dong Zhuo doesn’t dare to go out and provoke, as that will only cause the Kwantung princes to attack him, so don’t worry for the time being!”
"Secondly, there is Gongsun Zan who occupied Youzhou and Jizhou! After Gongsun Zan captured Jizhou from Yuan Shao with the help of Liu Bei, he also actively expanded his troops. With the people of Jizhou and Youzhou, and the military horses rich in the two places,
Gongsun Zan already has nearly 50,000 cavalry in his hands! There are also no less than 70,000 armored men! At the beginning of this year, Gongsun Zan also marched troops on the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou, and seemed to be preparing to capture Qingzhou! With the current chaos in Qingzhou,
The situation may not be able to withstand Gongsun Zan’s cavalry! However, Gongsun Zan’s sphere of influence is far from ours in the south and north, so for the time being we don’t need to worry about Gongsun Zan!”
"There is also Sun Jian who is in Yuzhou and Yangzhou! Sun Jian is sitting in Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and he has strong soldiers and horses! And according to the information collected by Jin Yiwei, Sun Jian has completely surrendered those Jiangdong families at the end of last year, and has Jiangdong completely in his own hands!
However, Sun Jian is brave but lacking in resourcefulness! Besides, with General Gan’s Jingzhou navy stationed at Poyang Lake, it is expected that Sun Jian would not dare to invade the situation easily!"
"Finally, there is Cao Cao who is currently occupying Yanzhou and Sizhou! In the eyes of his subordinates, although this Cao Cao's current power is much different from Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian. However, Cao Cao is a man of great talent and strategy, but
This should not be underestimated! Moreover, when Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were fighting, this man secretly attacked Yuan Shao and captured most of Yuan Shao's troops! And when facing Gongsun Zan's army, he decisively chose to retreat! This man was brave and knowledgeable.
, capable of bending and stretching, he is definitely a very difficult opponent! Therefore, I think that the best strategy is for the lord to completely eliminate this person before he becomes a great weapon!"
Xi Zhicai explained, but he explained to several princes in the world. Of course, there were also a bunch of small princes such as Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, etc., but these people had no ability to shake the overall situation, so Xi Zhicai
There was no intention of bringing them out.
After hearing Xi Zhicai's last few words, Luo Yang's eyes immediately lit up. As a person who traveled from later generations, I am afraid that no one in this era knows how powerful Cao Cao is better than Luo Yang! Three of the Three Kingdoms Period in history
As the overlord, Liu Bei has no foundation, so he doesn't need to worry about it for the time being. What's more, Jingzhou and Yizhou, which were originally left for Liu Bei to make a fortune, have been in the hands of Luo Yang. As a result, it may not be so easy for Liu Bei to rise! Although the Sun family is temporary
The Jiangdong family was suppressed, but Luo Yang knew that these Jiangdong families were not so easy to deal with. Although Sun Jian had the upper hand now, it was not that easy to expand outward!
There is only Cao Cao. Cao Cao has now controlled Yanzhou, which means there is a foundation for him to develop! I'm afraid it won't be long before Cao Cao develops rapidly. By then, Cao Cao will definitely become one of Luo Yang's biggest enemies! And originally Luo Yang
The first plan was to take action against Cao Cao! I didn’t expect that Xi Zhicai, who had only met Cao Cao a few times in the Dong Dong Alliance, could make such a judgment! It can be seen that Xi Zhicai is worthy of being a top strategist! In history,
, if Xi Zhicai had not died young, I'm afraid Cao Cao might have dominated the world long ago!
Luo Yang was very satisfied with Xi Zhicai's analysis, but the others were not necessarily so. Gong Du was the first to say: "Master Xi! The general has some opinions on this point! In the general's opinion, the one who poses the greatest threat to the lord now is
, it is undoubtedly Sun Jian! Why should we sacrifice the near for the distant, bypass Sun Jian's control of Yuzhou, and attack Cao Cao in Yanzhou?"
"That's right!" Liu Pi on the side also put forward an opinion and said: "If we follow Master Xi's suggestion and attack Yanzhou first, then we must bypass Yuzhou! If Sun Jian takes advantage of our army to fight with Cao Cao,
Suddenly sending troops to cut off the army's retreat! Then wouldn't it be dangerous for our army to penetrate deep into Yanzhou?"
Although Liu Pi and Gong Du were not as capable as Zhao Yun and others, they were the first three subordinates to defect to Luoyang. Another subordinate, Wen Pin, was far away in Hanzhong and in Chengdu. The oldest one was Liu Pi.
and Gong Du. Moreover, the two of them have a forthright temperament, are deeply supported by the lieutenants in the army, and have a good relationship with other generals. Therefore, Xi Zhicai dare not ignore the opinions put forward by Liu Pi and Gong Du at the moment.
Immediately, Xi Zhicai handed over his hands to the two men and said: "The worries of the two generals are not unreasonable! However, the reason why I advise my lord is because Cao Cao is far more dangerous to my lord than Sun Jian! Cao Cao is far more dangerous to my lord than Sun Jian!
This man is a traitor in troubled times, extremely cunning. Now he occupies Yanzhou and Sizhou. If he is allowed to develop, the threat will be far greater than that of Sun Jian! But now Cao Cao is far less powerful than Sun Jian. The way of marching is difficult and easy.
, so I would like to advise my lord to take Yanzhou first!"
Although Xi Zhicai said this, it did not convince Liu Pi and Gong Du. Liu Pi continued to ask: "Even if what Xi Zhicai said makes sense, how can you prevent Sun Jian's sneak attack?"
"This is not difficult at all!" Xi Zhicai obviously had a plan in mind and said with a smile: "Unlike Cao Cao, Sun Jian tried his best to expand in the early stage, but it was far beyond the scope of his strength! Although
He had already surrendered the Jiangdong family last year, but Sun Jian's entire army was only over 100,000 strong! Moreover, although Sun Jian occupied Jiangdong and unified Yangzhou, he had a fatal weakness, that is, his navy in Chaohu had not yet been
Skilled! On the Yangtze River, Sun Jian is still no match for the Jingzhou navy! So in order to defend against the Jingzhou navy, Sun Jian will definitely put his main force in Yangzhou to guard against our army's sneak attack. Therefore, he definitely does not have the ability to sneak attack our army!
"
At this point, Xi Zhicai suddenly showed a rare sinister smile and said: "Even if Sun Jian really dares to be so bold! Then we don't have to be afraid! Sun Jian's troops are far less than ours! If Sun Jian really dares to go to war with our army,
! Our army might as well take advantage of the situation and launch an all-out war against him! At that time, we only need to use the Jingzhou navy to go down the Yangtze River and intercept Yangzhou! The brave soldiers will go north from Xiangyang and cut off his retreat! They will directly capture Jiangdong and Yuzhou!
"
Looking at Xi Zhicai's sinister smile, everyone couldn't help but feel chills running down their backs. These counselors are indeed not easy to mess with! This killing method without using a knife is even more vicious! After taking a breath, Luo Yang
He looked at Liu Pi and Gong Du and saw that they no longer had any objections. He immediately smiled and said: "If that's the case, then according to what Zhicai said, the target is Yanzhou!"
The target was determined first, and then it was time to formulate a strategy in detail. Luo Yang glanced at everyone playfully, and seeing the look in Luo Yang's eyes, Zhao Yun and other generals immediately understood that Luo Yang was the commander-in-chief who was planning to conquer Yanzhou! Immediately
, Zhao Yun was the first to shout: "My Lord! The Maoyan Army is willing to take on this important task! Take Yanzhou for my Lord!" When Zhao Yun shouted, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun beside him also stood up and responded.
Liu Pi and Gong, who had just opposed the expedition to Yanzhou, both saw it and shouted: "Lord! This time it is the last general's turn! The Ruijia Army is willing to go to war!"
