Even though Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xun Yu and others were jointly assisting Xun Zhen, they were all confidants that Xun Zhen now relied on and reused, but they had different thoughts on the matter of "assisting Xun Zhen". Pinshu.com www.vodtw.com

For example, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Jiu Cong Xun Zhen, and Xun Zhen have the closest relationship. At the same time, both of them are resourceful people, not "pure Confucianists" who are "loyal to the emperor", so they are in chaos today. Under the circumstances, the two of them naturally started from Xun Zhen's point of view, hoping that Xun Zhen could go further, hoping to grow into a "one-sided hero" who could compete with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in the future.

Xun Yu is not the case. Of course, Xun Yu will also think about Xun Zhen's own interests, but at least for now, what he first thinks of is not Xun Zhen's own interests, but the Han family and the emperor.

Having said that, no matter what the different thoughts of Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, and others, they were of the same opinion on the matter of fighting against Tao Qian in Xuzhou: they all supported Xun Zhen in doing so.

It's just that Xi Zhicai and Xun You are for Xun Zhen's own interests, and Xun Yu is to better support the Han family. - In today's world, there are not many ministers, let alone Dong Zhuo, such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. , and they all showed their disobedience, so if you want to support the Han family and make the Han family rejuvenate again, it goes without saying that the first thing you need to do is to strengthen your own strength.

After listening to Xun You's request to make a decision to "take Xu" early, Xun Zhen pondered for a while, and did not directly say her plan, but instead asked Xun You, "Gongda, in your opinion, when is it better to take Xu? ?"

Xun You, Xun Yu and other Xun family members needless to say, Xi Zhicai has long been on good terms with Xun Yu, Xun You and others, and now they are all under Xun Zhen's tent, and they communicate with each other a lot. It has been discussed in private for a long time, and a consensus has been reached.

Xun You immediately replied: "It has been several months since the general returned to the county, and all political and military affairs are in order. Now the soldiers in Guangling are rich in food, and there are secret aids from outside. In my humble opinion, when the spring is warm next year, it will be a 'getter'. Xu' Season."

To be honest, Xun Zhen must do something about the competition for Xuzhou, and Xun Zhen is also certain about it. A little indecisive.

After all, Tao Qian has ruled Xu for several years. Although he has offended some local nobility and tycoons because of his strong behavior, he is a "court-appointed official". , he has two elite soldiers from Mount Tai and Danyang under his command, and controls the three counties of Donghai, Langya, and Xiapi. Whether in terms of name or strength, he is dominant.

When Xun You heard Xun You explain that it was time to "take Xu" in the spring, Xun Zhen thought to himself: "Ming Chun will "take Xu," and I also mean the same."

Thinking of his own concerns, Xun Zhen said, "After attacking Dong that day, Wentai said Wenqian was the prime minister of Xiapi, and since I returned to Guangling, I did not take down Pi for Wen Qian first, but tried my best to deal with it. The government of this county, the management of agriculture and grain storage, the elimination of subordinates, and the support of foreign friends, are precisely because of the fear of Tao Gong's powerful ancestors. Now, although my army and government are all in place, I can use the power of one county to attack the other three counties. Big, I'm still not sure how much confidence I have."

Xi Zhicai got up and said: "I know what the general is worried about. The general said that Tao Gongzu was a 'strong and powerful', and the so-called 'strong' is nothing more than because he had the imperial edict, and the so-called 'lixiong' was only because he had three counties Land. In my opinion, both are easy to deal with."

"Oh? I'd like to hear from you."

Xi Zhicai laughed and said, "Why does the general need to ask me about my opinion?" Pointing to Xun Zhen's belly, he said with a smile, "My opinion is actually already in the general's belly!"

Xun Zhen asked, "Why did you say this?"

"After attacking Dong that day, General Sun declared Le Wenqian as the Prime Minister of Xiapi. Isn't this the general's purpose to crack down on Tao Gongzu's 'strong power'?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Those who know me are talented."

Tao Qian was a well-deserved prefect of Xuzhou, and Xun Zhen, as a county governor in the state, could not raise troops for no reason and compete with Xu, so as early as a few months ago, he took the step of "representing Yue Jin as the prime minister of Xiapi". Dark chess. As soon as Le Jin became the prime minister of Xiapi, Xun Zhen could enter the army, and once Xun Zhen entered the army, Tao Qian would definitely not sit idly by. He started the war, so in this way, Xun Zhen successfully avoided the trouble of "taking the county to invade the state", in other words, that is to say, successfully resolved the trouble of Tao Qian's "imperial order".

Xun Zhen stopped laughing, and added: "It's not difficult to break the strong force, but it's not easy to break the 'Lixiong'."

Righteousness is a trouble, but in the end, righteousness is just a name, as long as you can find the right opportunity and the right words, it is not difficult to resolve; however, "Lixiong" is hard power, if you want to break it, there is no shortcut. Only by its own strength.

And if you compare the respective strengths of Xun Zhen and Tao Qian, you will find that Xun Zhen is superior in only one aspect, and that is the elite of soldiers. Xun Zhen had full confidence in the combat effectiveness of his soldiers. After all, in these years of expeditions to the north and south, his subordinates have really sharpened a group of generals who can fight, and killed a group of elite soldiers who dare to fight. Compared with Tao Qian's troops, they must be much more elite.

But at the same time, Xun Zhen has three disadvantages: one is that Tao Qianzhong is not enough in troops, one is that there is not as much food as Tao Qian, and the other is that the territory is not as large as Tao Qian.

The combination of these three disadvantages determines that if there is a "fight for Xu", Xun Zhen must fight quickly, and must not be caught in a long war. county.

So, is it possible to get a quick decision and win a quick victory?

This is exactly what Xun Zhen was sure about, but not sure about.

Xi Zhicai said: "Tao Gongzu has a vast army, and has far more people and food than me. On the surface, the general does not seem to have the upper hand, but if you compare it carefully, Tao Gongzu is actually just a sick tree. The branches are luxuriant, but the inside is withered, and it will collapse suddenly with just a little external force."

"Oh?"

"First of all, let's talk about the army. Tao Gongzu relies on the two armies of Danyang and Taishan. Of these two armies, he can only command the Danyang soldiers. The Taishan army is a guest army and will not serve Tao Gongzu. As long as the generals attack Tao Gongzu with lightning strikes ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ after the war begins, the Taishan army will be hesitant and suspicious, and it can be used to plan."

Xun Zhen nodded.

Over the past few months, Xun Zhen has increased her ties with Zang Ba. The figure is to make Zang Ba remain neutral in the future battle between himself and Tao Qian. Even if it is not good, he also wants to make Zang Ba not completely stand by Tao Qian. Qian's side.

"Let's talk about the vast area. Although Tao Gongzu has three counties, as long as the Taishan army is suspicious and waits and sees, he will cut off one of his counties; the general can send envoys to Pengcheng again. He sent troops to help, but as long as he could persuade him to platoon his troops at the national border, for the general, it would mean one more county. In this way, Tao Gongzu had one less county, and the general had one more county. The advantages of the vastness of the land will cease to exist."

Xun Zhen nodded and said yes.

"It's a good thing if there is more food."

Xun Chen didn't understand, and asked, "Why is it a good thing that Tao Gongzu has a lot of food?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "With the general's elite soldiers, Mount Tai is suspicious, and with the help of Pengcheng, he takes Xu Yiye, Xuzhou has already changed hands, and more food is a good thing."
