With a smile on his face, Qiao Yu said slowly: "Xiannephew, in front of my dear brother, I won't do anything for you. Please repeat it again, what did you think about it? This time, neither you nor I knew that my dear brother would come.
.So your words cannot be false.”
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. In short, it can be divided into two parts in four words."
"Divide the world into two?"
There was a hint of surprise on Zhang Zhao's angular face.
From the results given by Lu Xuan, Zhang Zhao could feel the strong ambition in Lu Xuan's words.
After Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor and re-installed the emperor in the Han Dynasty, the emperor's fig leaf disappeared. Following Li Jue and Guo Si, they entered the court, disrupted the imperial court, and treated the emperor as a plaything.
Since then, the imperial power has fallen from the altar.
The princes all over the world no longer took the emperor seriously, and their hearts were completely in chaos.
Zhang Zhao was not surprised that Lu Xuan wanted to divide the world. After all, there was the ambitious Yuan Shao in front of him, and Yuan Shu openly disobeyed the court behind him.
The princes of the world are all the same.
Zhang Zhao's eyes were sharp and he said: "A two-divided world is easy to say, but how to achieve it?"
Lu Xuan elaborated: "After Yuan Shu fled to Yangzhou, he quickly captured Jiujiang County and established himself in Shouchun. Yuan Shu's goal is to capture the entire Yangzhou. So I judge that Yuan Shu's next step is most likely to attack Lujiang County."
"Under this general premise, the first choice I face is to base myself on Lujiang and firmly control Lujiang County."
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the road must be walked step by step.”
"The first step is to establish a foothold in Lujiang."
Lu Xuan's explanation this time was more specific, unlike his previous conversation with Qiao Yu, which was very brief.
Zhang Zhao nodded and said nothing more.
The tone of "Based on Lujiang" is very simple, it depends on what is said next.
Lu Xuan continued: "After you have mastered Lujiang County, or are still in the process of mastering it, you may encounter Yuan Shu. In this step, you must use the influence of the Lu family in Yangzhou to quickly control Wu County, Danyang County and other places, and expel Yuan Shu.
Take control of Yangzhou and establish a foothold in the southeast."
Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and said: "This step is quite satisfactory. Anyone with some knowledge can make a judgment."
Lu Xuan finally said: "The third step is to expand westward and capture Jingzhou, so that the territory spans the east and west sides of the Yangtze River, occupy the south, and divide the world into two parts. If there is a chance to go further, wait for the opportunity to go north. But this step is too far away.
"
Zhang Zhao's eyes flashed. He recognized Lu Xuan's analysis, but asked: "After taking Yangzhou and increasing our strength, why didn't we choose to go north to Xuzhou instead of going west? Tao Qian has some strength, but Tao Qian is old.
Well, we can’t 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 normal operation, and anyone with a little knowledge will know it. The next step after capturing Yangzhou is the most important.
Lu Xuan was right to go west.
It's just the specific reason that Zhang Zhao is eager to understand. He can use Lu Xuan's analysis to observe Lu Xuan's vision and strategy.
Lu Xuan looked serious and said: "The reason why we went to Jingzhou instead of going north to Xuzhou is because of the different geographical location. To the west of Xuzhou is Yanzhou Cao Cao, to the north is Qingzhou, and Qingzhou has Yuan Shao's power."
"Even in a few years, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will not be able to tell the difference. But from this, we can judge that the situation in Xuzhou is very complicated."
"If we want to capture Xuzhou, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have opinions and will intervene."
"Jingzhou is different."
"Jingzhou is located in the south, far away from the Central Plains. Jingzhou Mu Liubiao has the ability to govern the place, but he is a defensive leader. The north of Jingzhou is currently occupied by the Yellow Turban bandits, so if I attack Jingzhou, there will be no external force to stop me."
Lu Xuan said: "So attacking Jingzhou is my only choice."
Zhang Zhao showed admiration in his eyes 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 received the recognition and said modestly: "Mr. Zibu has given me the award."
After listening to Lu Xuan's analysis, Qiao Yu admired Lu Xuan even more. He smiled slightly and said, "Zibu, 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 thought for a while, and made plans to test Lu Xuan further, and said again: "Master Lu, I still have a question."
Lu Xuan said: "Mr. Zibu, please speak."
Zhang Zhao's eyes were firm and he said unhurriedly: "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, only Cao Cao has the appearance of a hero, and Yuan Shao has the heart of a king. After the fighting between various princes, I think the person who has the last laugh will appear among Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Mr. Lu believes that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao
Who will have the last laugh?"
Qiao Yu frowned and said: "Brother Xian, there are so many princes in the north, and 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 too difficult.
In the eyes of Qiao Yu, the prospective father-in-law, he could not bear to see his son-in-law being made things difficult for him.
Zhang Zhao looked relaxed and explained: "Brother Qiao, don't worry, I have no intention of making things difficult. I am just happy to see you, and I hope to have a discussion with Mr. Lu and listen to Mr. Lu's insightful remarks."
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 looked very surprised and reminded: "Master Lu answered directly without thinking, which is a bit hasty."
Lu Xuan confidently said: "Mr. Zibu is wrong. My answer is well thought out."
Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "I would like to hear the details."
Lu Xuan said sternly: "My reason is very simple. When Yuan Shao took power, the civil and military factions under his command fought fiercely and undermined each other, and their interests were not unified. The factions under Cao Cao were simple and had unified interests. Even if Cao Cao is weak, I think he will win in the end.
Cao Cao."
boom!!
A flash of lightning seemed to flash through Zhang Zhao's mind, splitting the fog.
He discussed the situation in the north with many famous people, and also discussed Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, analyzing the personalities and backgrounds of both parties.
However, no one has ever considered Lu Xuan's entry point.
A battle of interests!
Faction war!
This is a fundamental analysis.
To elaborate from this point, we must have a deeper understanding of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's subordinates.
Otherwise, you can't analyze it at all.
Lu Xuan can put forward such an argument. It can be judged that Lu Xuan has always paid attention to the news from the outside world and is definitely not the so-called dull and weak person.
Lu Xuan has a tiger at heart.
Zhang Zhao thought of Sun Ce. When he looked at Sun Ce, he felt that Sun Ce had great ambitions, a bold temperament, and was very promising. Now when Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Xuan, he felt that Lu Xuan was unfathomable and had a lot of power at such a young age.
.
This is a powerful person.
Zhang Zhao sat up straight, his smile faded, his expression became serious, and he solemnly said: "Master Lu, I am here to listen attentively."
Qiao Yu was surprised when he noticed the change in Zhang Zhao's posture.
Zhang Zhao was extremely proud. Lu Xuan's few words made Zhang Zhao's attitude change drastically. It was not easy.
Qiao Yu became even more proud.
This is his good son-in-law.
Qiao Yu took a sip of water and his eyes fell on Lu Xuan, with deep expectation in his eyes.
