Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, "What does Yuan Zhi mean?"

"This battle is inevitable, but the definition of this battle determines the direction of the world. The lord thinks, what should this battle be?" Xu Shu looked at Zhang Xiu and said.

"So, Nanyang is behind Cao Cao, it can be said that it is like a ray of light on its back. I want to defeat Cao Cao by taking Jingzhou, so this battle is either me or Cao Fei!"

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment.

"Haha, I think this battle can be defined as a battle of peace, rather than a loss of both sides."

"My lord, think that Cao Cao is in the Central Plains, with Yuan Shao's tiger entrenched in the north, Yuan Shu's wolfgu in the south, and Lu Bu's hungry tiger in the east, plus the lord."

"It can be said that Cao Cao is already surrounded by enemies. He is more worried and anxious than us because he can't afford to spend it. It's fine if Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others, but Yuan Shao in Jizhou will destroy Gongsun within three years."

"At that time, Cao Cao will face Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has nearly four states and has a million armors, so Cao Cao needs more time than us. The lord wants to take Jingzhou and is in a very different way from Cao Cao."

"So, let's decide this battle as a peace agreement."

Xu Shu talked about it in a broad and broad way.

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed with brilliance, as if it was true. In history, Cao Cao gathered wildly before Guandu to eliminate the other princes because his situation was more dangerous than anyone else.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't say anything, Xu Shu said again: "If the lord defines it as a life-and-death battle, how dare you ask if the lord can defeat Cao Cao within half a year? Or can Cao Cao defeat his lord in half a year?"

"I don't think so, the lord is waiting for work, and the whole family is united. Even if Cao Cao's soldiers are strong and brave, it is difficult to defeat his lord in a short time. Similarly, even if the lord is strong and the lord has enough troops, it is impossible to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop."

"What's more, even if the lord wins by chance, he will suffer a lot without any profit."

"What does this mean?" Zhang Xiu listened seriously and couldn't help but wonder.

"Yanzhou has been through war for a long time and has been destroyed. There are many families in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and it is difficult to control it. If the lord has these two places, it will be difficult to develop, and the lord will face Yuan Shao directly."

"Once Yuan Shao eradicates Gongsun Zan, he will inevitably lead his troops south. How can the lord fight? I am afraid that the famous scholars in Yuzhou will rise up and welcome Yuan Shao!"

Xu Shu said solemnly.

Zhang Xiu nodded involuntarily and then said in a daze: "Yuan Zhi, what you mean is that you should not fight to the death with Cao Cao, but instead, you should make peace with the war, so that he can get rid of Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and other sluts to fight against Yuan Shao."

"Where can our army wait for an opportunity to annex Jingzhou, so as to wait and see what changes are going on?"

"That is, according to the suzure, as long as three years is, as short as five years, there will be a battle between Cao and Yuan, and Cao will be defeated in this battle, and Yuan Shao will be victorious."

"During this period, the lord can make plans early, so that after the seven counties of Jingxiang can stabilize, the troops can be divided into two groups.

He advanced westward to Yizhou. Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, was weak and incompetent, and he was in the country that possessed the Heavenly Palace but let Zhang Lu ignore it. He thought that those who were ambitious would compete for the first place.

The other way goes down the river and takes Yangzhou. The wars in Yangzhou are endless, and it is difficult to make a climate. You can fight down one battle.

In this way, if Cao Cao was defeated, the lord could be ruled with Yuan Shao with the Qinling Mountains and Huai Rivers as the boundary and the north and south."

"At that time, you can send troops to capture Guanzhong and Yongliang, so as to divide the world into two parts. When the time is ripe, you can send troops from Guanzhong, Jingzhou and Yangzhou to jointly attack Yuan Shao, or the world can be determined."

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he bowed and held his fists.

Zhang Xiu listened carefully, and Xu Shu was indeed a talented person. Although he was not as good as Zhuge Liang's Longzhong match, he had an insight into the world.

Although there are some flaws, this is not a flaw, because few people would have thought that Cao Cao would win before the war, which is also the mistake of Xu Shu's inference.

Of course, what he said before is reasonable. This fierce battle in the beginning of spring next year may not be called a decisive battle. Whoever wins this battle will have the initiative to negotiate peace.

Next to him, Huang Zhong fell into deep thought. This guy seemed to have something, not a person who wanted to gain fame. At least there was no big problem with these strategic directions.

"Yuan Zhi's words are comparable to nectar and jade, which makes people feel refreshed! Even though he talks and laughs, he actually divides the world into two parts, and he should have the talent of conquering the world." Zhang Xiu said with no hesitation to praise.

"The lord is praised by mistake, so I dare not take it."

Xu Shu had a smile in his heart, which was a kind of recognition.

"Yuan Zhi, you should work as Gongcao!" Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said.

"Lord, no, Gongcao is an assistant to the governor of a state. The lord should avoid taboos to avoid using the treacherous villains." Xu Shu said anxiously with gratitude.

"That's true. Then you should serve as the chief clerk to help me solve my problems and assist Jia Xu in handling government affairs in various places within ten days." Zhang Xiu turned around.

"Lord Thanks for your appreciation,"

Xu Shu showed excitement on his face. Although he was just a chief clerk, this was the largest official position that Zhang Xiu could grant.

"Okay, it's getting late, so set off quickly, hoping to rush back to Shinye before nightfall."

Then, a group of dozens of riders galloped to Xinye.

…………

At night, the sky is dim,

The group was one step slower than going to Xiangyang.

The closed city gate slowly opened, and the sound of horse hooves became even more noisy under the night, breaking the sound of summer insects roaring together.

Arranged Xu Shu's residence and Zhang Xiu turned straight back to the room

When he returned to the room, Zhang Xiu did not stop. A few days ago, the three armies fought with Yingyin and Xuchang, and then he went to Wancheng to settle tens of thousands of people. Then when he arrived in Xinye, he rushed to Jingzhou without stopping.

So much so that I have not yet rewarded merits!

These are promised by Zhang Xiu. If they are not fulfilled, how can they be convinced?

Thinking of this, he picked up the pen to record and took out the doll that was about to fall from the dust in the system.

These dolls are all high-end products, and they don’t have a good figure. The key is that their little faces are all celebrity faces and actress faces. Many of the female teachers still look familiar to them.

Zhang Xiu was a little curious. He hadn't used this thing yet, so he took one and started to blow it.

However, a little while passed.

Zhang Xiu was a little suspicious of life. It was too difficult to blow this girl? She almost blew it to death. She could even doubt her life. The brain almost supplied with oxygen was probably going to blow it to death.

After a while, Zhang Xiu's face turned red, he smacked the corner of his lips, looked at his masterpiece, and murmured: "It's cheaper for these bastards."

In addition to "Beautiful Girl", Zhang Xiu sent people to prepare dozens of sheep, hundreds of chickens, and some wild game. As for the wine, hundreds of jars were also prepared, which can be said to be a big deal.

What a happy thing to be able to eat meat and drink wine in this era.

As for cola and spicy strips, Zhang Xiu also prepared some of them, but not much, so he had to keep them for himself. There was no way, and he wouldn't be able to send tasks to his own ghost system, so he had to save some use.
