Chapter 37 A serious problem in a confidant
The key to why Cao Cao is said to be an alternative is here.
With Cao Cao's character and knowledge, he is actually more suitable to be a high-ranking official, scholar, and poet than a military strategist.
The reason why Cao Cao became a military strategist is that if his military talent was only 60 points, it would be far inferior to Li Erfeng, Er Li of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Huo, Xu Chang and other talented people with perfect innate scores, but his learning ability was Up to 90 points.
Cao Cao is a military strategist who relies on his learning ability to counterattack.
Of course Liu Bei didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking. He thought he had turned enemies into friends with Cao Cao.
After all, he has formed an alliance with Cao Cao's boss Yuan Shao, so Cao Cao has become an ally unnaturally. If Xun Yu and Cheng Yu hadn't persuaded Cao Cao, with Big Ear Brother's current paralysis, he would have also become an ally. It is really possible that Widow Cao succeeded in a sneak attack.
But even so, Guangling is still untouchable.
Such a painful and itchy Guangling is indeed a big problem. Liu Bei can see this and already has a good strategic vision.
Unfortunately, Liu Bei's vision is not long-term enough, and he cannot see the deeper problems.
Next, Liu Feng can teach Brother Big Ear.
"What my father said is wrong. Although Guangling is a serious problem, it is also a problem of scabies. Not to mention that we really can't touch Guangling at the moment. Not only is it morally unjustifiable, but it may also cause unnecessary trouble. .
Besides, even if Yuan Shu enters Guangling, he still can't shake our Donghai and Xiapi counties."
Liu Bei nodded, not at all displeased by his son's rebuttal. On the contrary, he felt that Liu Feng. That's quite right.
The people of Xiapi and Donghai are with me. Even if Yuan Shu enters Guangling County, he will not be able to shake the overall situation.
Since what he said was wrong, Liu Bei wanted to know Liu Feng's opinion: "Then according to Feng'er's opinion, where is the biggest problem in his heart?"
Liu Feng selected a copy from the silk book beside him and opened it. Spread it out in front of Liu Bei.
This is a simple map of Xuzhou. Liu Feng’s finger landed on the top of Xuzhou.
"Father, Xuzhou's most serious problem is right here!"
Liu Bei took a closer look and found that the place Liu Feng was pointing to was Langya County.
"Langya?"
Liu Bei was a little confused. Langya County, located in the northernmost part of Xuzhou, was divided by Zang Ba and others. It didn't look like a serious problem.
Liu Bei thought for a moment and still felt that the problems in Guangling County were much more serious than Zang Ba.
If nothing else, after Yuan Shu captured Guangling, he definitely wanted to continue north and capture Xuzhou.
There is bound to be a big battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu.
Although Zang Ba is a little dissatisfied with himself, he is still staying in Langya County honestly, not to mention fighting each other, even his face is not broken.
Besides, Zang Ba doesn't have much ambition at present. He was willing to submit to Tao Qian before. There is no reason why Liu Bei is not as good as Tao Qian, right?
Liu Bei told Liu Feng his views and then waited for Liu Feng to explain.
Liu Feng nodded first, confirming that Liu Bei's view was not wrong, but he only saw less.
It's like a blind man touching an elephant. He just touches the thigh of the elephant because it is the whole picture of the elephant.
The more detailed and accurate he is, the farther away he will be from the real answer.
"Father, if we only look at the internal situation of Xuzhou, what you said is not wrong. But since Guangling has introduced the foreign enemy Yuan Shu, why do you ignore the foreign enemy of Langya?"
Liu Feng's words awakened Liu Bei, and he reacted suddenly.
The location of Langya County is indeed important, and it is also deep between Qing and Yan. It is only a few dozen kilometers away from Yuzhou. It can be said that it is surrounded by the land of the three states.
In a sense, this means that Langya County can be affected by the three states of Qing, Yan and Henan at the same time. Liu Bei asked tentatively: "Feng'er, do you mean that Zang Ba will have foreign aid?"
Liu Feng nodded and said: "What father said is half right."
"Oh? What do you mean by this?"
Liu Feng pointed to the map and gave it to Liu Bei Explain it.
“Father, please look, the north of Langya County is Qingzhou.
At the moment, Yuan, Tian, and Kong are fighting for hegemony in Qingzhou Prefecture, but in fact, even if Tian Kai and Kong Rong unite, they will not be the opponents of the Yuan family. As far as I know, Yuan Shao has appointed Zang Hong as the governor of Qingzhou and Yuan Tan as the governor of Qingzhou. Both of them have the ability to appease the people and conquer disloyal subjects.
Tian Qingzhou and Kong Beihai will be captured within this year or next year if they do not take the initiative to escape. "
Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully. He was familiar with Yuan Tan, Kong Rong, and Tian Kai. How could Liu Bei, who had been dealing with them for several years, not know their abilities? .
Especially Yuan Tan, Liu Bei suffered a lot from his boss.
He followed Tian Kai in many battles with Yuan Tan in Pingyuan. It can be said that he fought continuously. Defeated, and finally lost the entire Pingyuan Kingdom
This shows Yuan Tan's strong military ability.
Liu Bei once envied Yuan Shao for having a son.
But now?
At least Brother Big Ear must think that his precious son is much more powerful than Yuan Tan, a martial artist who only knows how to fight.
"Father, Qingzhou can only hold on for two years at most. After two years, it will definitely fall into the hands of the Yuan family. If the Yuan family wants to continue going south, Langya County will bear the brunt.
If we cannot solve Zang Ba's problem within two years and take Langya County into our hands, once Zang Ba surrenders to the Yuan family, then Donghai and Xiapi Ke will face the sharpness of Yuan's army, and they will be in danger. "
Liu Bei looked at the map and felt that what Liu Feng said was very reasonable, and his expression suddenly changed.
Before he could react, Liu Feng continued: "I have talked with you before. My father said that although Marquis Lu Wen was capable of fighting, he was brave and reckless and acted frivolously, so he could not be Cao Yanzhou's opponent after all.
At that time, the boy also judged that within two years, Cao Yanzhou would win a great victory and drive Lu Fengxian out of Yanzhou.
At that time, if Cao Cao, who has regained Yanzhou, wants to covet our state, since Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu in his tent are all resourceful and decisive people, it will not be difficult to find Langya County loopholes.
If Cao Yanzhou woos Zang Ba and makes him surrender to him, Donghai and Xiapi will be attacked from three sides. Can my father still sit in our state? ”
As Liu Feng narrated, Brother Big Ear not only looked ugly, but also broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
It was clear that the wind was biting outside, but Brother Big Ear inside the house was already sweating profusely. .
Liu Bei didn't understand. Yesterday, Chen Deng assured him that at least 300,000 shi of grain would be delivered to the state within the year.
Liu Feng also received strong support from the Mi family. They collected enough food supplies for farming, and also took out magical agricultural tools such as the Quyuan plow.
In addition, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu were successfully retained, and Cao Bao took the initiative to cede his troops and move closer to him.
It is clear that the situation is improving, not a small good, but a great good.
How come it only took one night to reach the mouth of my precious son, how come Liu Bei was already in critical danger in Xuzhou?
