This time, Liu Bei was not pretending, he was really shocked by Xu You's words.
Before the Hebei War, the pressure that Wang Yu brought to him was already quite great. But now that the dust of the Hebei War has settled, Qingzhou's huge figure is like covering the entire sky and everything in the world.
It was as if they were all shrouded in his shadow.
Although the world is vast, Liu Bei only feels that there are shadows everywhere and cannot find a glimmer of hope.
In fact, Wang Yu's power has not expanded to this extent. For now, Wang Yu cannot even completely control Hebei. No matter what method he uses to solve the problem of merging with Gongsun's army, recruit the Black Mountain Army, and subdue Liu
Yu, it can't be done in three hours.
However, in the eyes of Liu Bei, who had suffered a heavy blow, Wang Yu was so terrifying that he avoided him.
His views are not necessarily exaggerated. A famous general who has not been restrained by strong enemies around him and has gained sufficient room for development has an obvious advantage among the heroes vying for the top spot in the world.
Although Liu Bei didn't quite understand the reason, he knew very well that he was Wang Yu's key target. From the moment they met, the other party imposed strict methods and many restrictions on him. Even if there were occasional gaps to relax, the facts afterwards would be
I cruelly verified to him that it was just a trap.
It is conceivable that as long as he appears around Wang Yu's sphere of influence, he will definitely repeat the previous tragedy. But if he wants to stay away from the influence of Wang Yu, whose power has surged, it is not easy.
You definitely can't go to Guanzhong. Dong Zhuo is a recognized traitor and he can't defect to him no matter what. Apart from that, the only places that are relatively safe are Jingzhou, Bashu and Jiangdong. Of course, defecting to Cao Cao is also a way, but the problem is the same.
If you take refuge in these forces that have already stabilized their rule, you will inevitably miss the melee at the beginning of the competition among the heroes. If you lose the opportunity, it will be more difficult to turn around in the future.
After much thought, he couldn't think of any good solution, so when Xu You asked questions, he could only excuse himself by going to Jiangdong.
As a result, after Xu You rejected his countermeasure, he actually said that there was another way to show him. How could he not be surprised?
"Bring the map!" Xu You said excitedly, waving his sleeves and shouting commands, like a madman.
The conversation at this moment was about Liu Bei's future, so the rest of the crowd had naturally been driven away long ago. After all, Guan Ding was the master, and Liu Bei responded quickly, signaling Guan Yu with his eyes to get the map.
Ever since Xu You took the seat of honor, something was wrong with Guan Yu's eyes. Now seeing this man yelling and shouting, which seemed to have reversed the position of master and subordinate, he was even more angry, not to mention obeying the order to get the picture.
Well, it was in Liu Bei's honor that he could restrain himself from picking out this inhuman-looking, ghost-like guy and beating him to the ground.
Seeing Liu Bei's signal to come over, Guan Yu wanted to explode immediately. What he valued most was loyalty. At least his brother saved this man's life and did not let him be buried in the ice and snow. Even from this relationship alone, Xu You also
There is no reason to be arrogant.
However, seeing his sworn brother's solemn and pleading eyes, Guan Yu's anger could not burst out, so he could only suppress it. He sighed deeply in his heart and stood up helplessly.
Who makes the eldest brother have great ambitions and refuse to succumb to others? In fact, being under Peng Ju may not mean...
I really envy Yide! He can shine in such a battle. Isn't that what a man should stand up for and fight bravely when facing foreign invaders?
When Xu You was under Yuan Shao, he did a lot of evil things. He was even more rebellious and wanted to abolish the establishment! It is said that this collusion with the Xiongnu Hu Qi was also done by this man. His character is so low, even though
If you have some talent and learning, how can you rely on it for help?
Although he felt unhappy in his heart, Guan Yu valued his sworn brother's opinion after all. Since Liu Bei recognized Xu You, he could only temporarily act as a servant.
Waiting outside was Guan Ding's youngest son. Guan Yu admired this son's calm behavior. At the same time, Guan Yu also realized that Guan Ding seemed to have the intention of recommending this son to his sworn brother. During these days of living in the village, he also
He did not hesitate to give more advice, and the other party learned quickly. In just more than ten days, his martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds compared to before.
The relationship between the two became more and more harmonious. Guan Yu, who had no children until now, was also very interested in Guan Ding's suggestion of accepting this adopted son.
After giving instructions to Guan Ping, the latter quickly understood the meaning and went to get the map from the luggage in Guan Yu's room, while Guan Yu stayed at the door and listened to the conversation inside.
Although Xu You shouted to get the map, he was so interested that he could not wait in time. Just when Guan Yu went out, he had already analyzed the situation in Hebei in a long way.
"...Wang Yu will definitely not rape Gongsun Zan, otherwise the Qingzhou Army will inevitably fall into a situation where the master is jealous of his subordinates, and the huge force will fall apart sooner or later. He has no such concerns about Zhang Yan, but the distance between the Black Mountain Army and the main force of Qingzhou is too far.
If you want to exert heavy pressure, you can't do it in a short time; what's more, Liu Yu won't just watch..."
"Therefore, no matter how he performs in the near future, in the next two or three years, Wang Yu's main energy will definitely be firmly contained in Hebei! Although in three to five years, he may capture all of Hebei, and then go south with all his strength to aspire to the Central Plains, but
After all, it will be a few years later. This period of time is an opportunity for those who are aspiring to the world to move around!"
"What Duke Ming needs to worry about is not to avoid Wang Yu's entire sphere of influence. He only needs to avoid where his main force is, that is, avoid Hebei, and gain a foothold as soon as possible to develop and grow..."
Although Rao despised Xu You as a person, Guan Yu was still convinced by Xu You's judgment.
Big brother often talks about the new term, which is said to come from Pengju - overall view, and it seems that Xu You is describing it vividly.
At this moment, Guan Ping came back with the map. Guan Yu was concerned and had no time to say anything. He was about to take the map, turn around and enter the room, but before he stretched out his hand, something suddenly moved in his heart. After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice:
: "Ping'er, come with me."
Guan Ping seemed to be surprised, but he did not hesitate and followed Guan Yu silently, holding the map in his hand higher.
Seeing Guan Ping coming in, Liu Bei was startled and then relieved. Xu You was excited and was about to ask for as many listeners as possible, but Guan Ding looked a little strange. Normally, he should be very happy, but at this moment
, but the look on his face seemed a little confused.
Except for Guan Ping, of course no one cares about Guan Ding's mood at this time.
After taking the map, Xu You waved it away, and then waved, beckoning everyone to come forward to listen, and pointed out the way of the country: "Ming Gong only focused on the land of one state, thinking that this was the only way to compete with the heroes of all walks of life, so he felt that
The world is so big, but there is no place to stand, which is actually a big mistake! From your point of view, this Yuzhou...or Runan to be precise, has a lot to do!"
"Runan?" Liu Bei was surprised.
Runan is the home base of the Yuan clan and has always been controlled by Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu was defeated thousands of miles away in the war against Cao Cao, he did not completely give up the fight for Runan.
In addition to the two major forces of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, there are many mountain bandits, grass bandits, and separatist forces in Runan who are not ordered by Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. The outside world collectively calls them the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. In fact, there are many details in them and cannot be generalized.
In short, this is an area where various forces are mixed. Liu Bei has no foundation there, and if he rushes in rashly, he will only be stabbed with blood by the various forces like a jungle of thorns.
"Ming Gong, I only saw one, but not the other." Xu You shook his head and said: "Of course, this is no wonder Ming Gong. After all, Runan is thousands of miles away. Ming Gong is neither a god nor a god."
How can people like You know everything when they are busy working abroad? In fact, Mr. Yuan also has considerable power in Runan..."
Speaking of this, Xu You made a long note. Liu Bei did not live up to his expectations. His eyes suddenly lit up. In the slightly dark room, it seemed that there were two more rounds of sunshine that broke through the gloom, and the sun shone brightly!
Receiving an inheritance is undoubtedly a greater fortune than meeting a speculator!
What are the best listeners like? Those who understand everything clearly but are always a beat behind the speaker. For Xu You, Liu Bei is the best listener.
He pointed his finger back and forth on the map, twisting his beard and saying with a smile: "Runan is a place for military power! Please see, Duke Ming, from Runan to the west, you can advance towards Yingchuan and Nanyang. If the king of Japan and Cao are fighting,
,
Duke Ming can wait for the opportunity, and Cao Sheng can attack behind him to act as a check, maintain the momentum of a tripartite confrontation, and expand his own power; Wang Sheng can also take advantage of the opportunity to seize the results of the battle and prevent Hebei's power from expanding too much."
"To the north, the lands of Henan and Yan are all available. When the war in the Central Plains comes together, why not be better than a fish in water? To the east, outside the Yuan Highway, the strong and middle cadres are vulnerable. Tao Gongzu is old and has been frail and sick in recent years. If planned properly,
, and you can also provoke them to make two tigers compete for food. Huainan and Xuzhou are all under the control of Ming Gong. Wouldn't it be great?"
"Even if there is nothing happening in the Central Plains and it is difficult to advance on three sides, Ming Gong can still go southwest, compete with Liu Jingsheng for Jiangxia and advance towards Jingzhou. The one who guards Jiangxia is Huang Zu, a man without any plans. Ming Gong's virtue is far superior to him.
The two generals Guan and Zhang are so brave that they are far superior to them. As long as there are more resourceful people to help them, how difficult is it to defeat them?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he held up his hands and thanked him with sincerity on his face: "Sir's words opened the door for me and made me see the blue sky like clouds and mist. What you said today is worth more than ten years of hanging beams."
Xu You laughed loudly: "Ming Gong made false praises. The scholar's words just make you laugh, but they are not enough." There was a hint of rejection in his words.
Xuande still didn't know what was going on, so he paid his respects again and said, "Although Bei's name is not very virtuous, I hope you will not give up your contempt and help me. I will ask for your help day and night and listen to my instructions."
Xu Youyun smiled lightly and said: "You are not very talented and have little knowledge. Besides, after the new defeat, you barely managed to survive here. I really don't dare to be valued by a wise king."
Although he was rejecting, the meaning of rejection was very light. Liu Bei knew that it was time to take a special move. He cried loudly in the mansion and said loudly: "Sir, if you don't come out, what will happen to the common people!" After saying this, tears stained his sleeves.
The skirt of clothes is completely wet.
At this point, Xu You was satisfied. Although there were not as many spectators as when Guo Jia came out of the mountain, but the objective conditions were such, he could only make do with it. He nodded and responded: "Ming Gong will not give up on each other, and you are willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
