Chapter 53 Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and became the three kings. Nanye sent troops to Xiliang 2
Liu Bei had a headache when he learned that Zhou Yu wanted to take Nan County. At this time, Nan Ye's horizontal foot made him two big. Previously, Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei how to deal with Zhou Yu, but he did not teach him how to deal with Nan Ye, so he could only be anxious at this time.
Zhou Yu is no better than Liu Bei. He heard that the reason why Nan Ye took Nan County was just to weaken Cao Cao's strength, so he said, "The National Normal University doesn't have to worry that Nan County will belong to Cao Cao for a long time. If I send troops to Nan County, I can get it."
Nan Ye shook his head when he heard the words and said, "Ca Cao occupies the land of eight states. Why does Gong Jin have to stick to Nan County? Cao Cao was defeated in this battle, and the defenses in various places were lax. Why don't we attack in three ways and try our best to expand the results? In my opinion, Gongjin should return to the north to take the land of Xuzhou, Xuande should go north to take Xiangyang, and I will go north to take the South County. Such a non-conflict with each other can make Cao Cao difficult. Why not do it?
Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were both schematic. As soon as Nan Ye opened his mouth, he inferred his strategic intention. Nanye is based in Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou is located at the southernmost point of Dahan. If Nanye wants to send troops north to compete with Cao Cao, there are only three ways to go. First, take the west road to Yizhou and pass through Hanzhong soldiers into Chang'an, second, take the east road through Yangzhou soldiers enter Xuzhou, and third, take the middle road through Jingzhou soldiers enter Luoyang and Xuchang.
In these three roads, Liu Zhang guarded Yizhou on the west road and Sun Quan guarded Yangzhou on the east road, but Jingzhou on the middle road was lost by Liu Biao and obtained by Cao Cao. Cao Cao's defeat was a good opportunity to use his troops. As long as Nanye gets Nanjun and then goes north to Nanyang, he can go directly to Sili, and the strategic space will be greatly expanded.
Of course, the road pointed out by Nan Ye for Liu Bei and Zhou Yu is also good. After Liu Bei goes north to Xiangyang, he can also enter Sili and Yuzhou. Zhou Yu can not only occupy the whole territory of Xuzhou, but also swing his army directly to Qingzhou and Yanzhou. But the key to the problem is not whether Nan Ye's strategy is good or not, but Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu have their own strategic goals.
Zhuge Liang's strategic goal is to occupy Jingzhou into Yizhou and Cao and Sun Quancheng. Zhou Yu's strategic goal is to protect Yangzhou to enter Yizhou and Cao Cao. They coincidentally ignored the existence of Nan Ye, because Nan Ye had never sent troops to compete with the princes.
At this moment, Nan Ye wants to take Nan County, which is no less than a bolt from the blue for Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. Nanjun is small, and the strategic intention and appetite shown by Nan Ye are the key to their worries. Nan Ye's plan undoubtedly sent a signal that Nan Ye's national teacher was no longer the saint of the road that had no dispute with the world, but a prince who wanted to compete with Cao Cao for the world.
After Nan Ye said something, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang had countless thoughts in their hearts. The policies they had previously formulated for Nanye and Jiaozhou are obviously outdated, and the three-di divide and two-world plan now seems to be no longer realistic. Whether to follow Nanye's arrangement, change the original strategy and continue to alliance with Nanye, or adhere to their established strategy to turn against Nanye, these are what Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang need to consider.
Not to mention that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were shocked by Nan Ye's words, even Liu Bei and Lu Su were also scared by Nan Ye. Both of them are extremely clear about the strategic deployment of their own forces. Nanye's arrangement undoubtedly disrupted the deployment of Sun and Liu, but none of them could say that Nanye's arrangement was wrong. Because from the current perspective, Nanye's deployment is most conducive to fighting Cao Cao. Liu Bei and Lu Su can't always say, "Our goal is not to attack Cao Cao, but to occupy Jingzhou and then occupy Yizhou."
There was silence in Liu Bei's handsome account, and the needle fell for a moment. Nan Ye saw this scene and suddenly realized that he was reckless. His purpose here is by no means to reveal his strategic intentions to Liu Bei and Zhou Yu, but to let them not waste troops in Nan County, but Nan Ye ignored Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's minds. The two have seen through his strategic intentions with Nan Ye's words.
Nan Ye is not sure whether Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang will suddenly turn against each other because of their exposed ambitions, but he is ready to summon Bai Yu. Nan Ye believes that with Bai Yu, Dian Wei and Zhou Cang, even Guan and Zhang Er in Liu Bei's camp can't keep themselves, not to mention that Nan Ye still has a white elephant.
The tense atmosphere in the handsome account blurred the concept of time. Perhaps after a long time or just a moment, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu sighed almost at the same time, and then the two looked at each other and saw the horror and struggle in each other's eyes.
At this time, Zhuge Liang preemptively asked Zhou Yu, "What do you think of the policy of the national teacher?"
Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang didn't move once or twice. They were not fooled, but asked, "I don't know what Mr. Kong Ming thinks?"
Zhuge Liang seemed to have known Zhou Yu's question, and smiled and said, "I thought the words of the national teacher were inappropriate!"
Seeing that the two did not intend to turn against each other immediately and had room for discussion, Nan Ye asked, "Why is Mr. Kong Ming wrong?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Before the national teacher arrived, my lord discussed with the governor that the governor would take the south county first, and if he didn't become my master, he would go there. The national teacher was finally recorded in the account. Even if he had to go to take the South County, he should wait behind me. How can you point us to another place in a few words and take the South County by yourself first? What's more, the governor and my soldiers and horses are already here, and where are the soldiers and horses of the national division? Even if we want to divide the troops to take Cao Cao's land, it should be my lord and the governor to take the south county nearby. The national division needs to transfer troops, so it's better to go directly to Xiangyang and Xuzhou.
Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and Lu Su were all enlightened when they heard Zhuge Liang's words. Zhuge Liang pretended to be confused and didn't care about the follow-up strategic deployment, just talking about the South County in front of him. It's like the strategy proposed by Nan Ye is not to better attack Cao Cao, but to fight for the offensive power of Nan County. What's more, Zhuge Liang doesn't care whether Xiangyang, Xuzhou and Nanye are bordering the territory and let Nanye get it. If Nanye agrees to lose the ownership of Nan County naturally, if he doesn't agree to Zhuge Liang, he will say, "If you don't take these two places yourself, why let me wait to get them?"
Nan Ye couldn't help laughing bitterly after listening to Zhuge Liang's words. Fortunately, what he was most worried about did not happen. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu did not turn against each other, but still wanted to compete for Nan County. For Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, in addition to completing their established strategic deployment, Nanye's deployment can also be impossible to complete, so no one wants to give up.
Nanye had Wei Yan and Lu Xun as the inner responds, but they were not afraid of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. After they also wanted to get the South County, Nan Ye said, "Mr. Kong Ming's words also made sense. Everything should be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Since Xuandegong and Gongjin are ready to use troops in Nanjun, I will rank third.
Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were relieved to see that Nan Ye did not stick to their own opinions, just as Nan Ye was afraid that they would turn their faces. They were not afraid that Nan Ye would suddenly turn his face and cast spells to take the people in the account. Zhou Yu understood that whether he took Nan County or Liu Bei took Nan County, he could block Nan Ye's road to the north. At that time, it was not so easy for Nan Ye to expand his territory to the north. Either defeat Liu Zhang and defeat Zhang Lu, or tear up with one of Liu Bei and Sun Quan's allies. In short, you have to pay a lot of price.
Since the three families have agreed on the order of taking Nanjun, Zhou Yu will leave so that he can go back to attack Nanjun first. Seeing that Zhou Yu had left, Nan Ye wanted to get up and say goodbye, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Nan Ye, "The national teacher will stay for the time being! The strategy of the talented national division to attack Cao is really a wonderful plan, and I want to persuade the lord to follow the plan of the national division.
Nan Ye was stunned when he heard the words and didn't know what Zhuge Liang was thinking. He couldn't help staring at Zhuge Liang and asking, "Why is Mr. Kong Ming..."
Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "I'm just slandering Zhou Gongjin. If Gongjin does not take the lead, it must take some effort for the national teacher to get Nanjun.
Nan Ye heard the words more curiously and asked, "Why did Mr. Kong Ming help me harm Gong Jin?"
Zhuge Liang said, "The national teacher and my master are close friends, but Sun Quan and I have no friendship, and our relatives and relatives are self-evident. What's more, I was calculated by Zhou Gongjin a lot when I went to Jiangdong, and now it's not too much to calculate him. This is also my reward for the protection of the national teacher in Jiangdong, not to mention that I have a ruthless invitation to the national teacher.
Nan Ye knew that Zhuge Liang was not so kind and asked, "Mr. Kong Ming, please speak directly if you have something to do."
Zhuge Liang said, "When the national teacher gets the South County, can you lend me the army's talisman arrow? I can also use a plan to occupy Xiangyang."
Nan Ye felt that Zhuge Liang's request was not excessive, so he nodded and agreed and left. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the account, Liu Bei pulled Zhuge Liang and asked, "Now that I have soldiers and generals, I have no place to stand. If I want to get the power of the South County and have room, the military division first let Gong Jin take it, and then let the national division take it. Where do I go if the city belongs to others?"
Zhuge Liang said, "At the beginning, I advised my lord to take Jingzhou, but my lord didn't listen. Why did he worry about having nowhere to stand today?"
Liu Bei said, "Before, Jingzhou was the land of Liu Jingsheng, and I can't bear to take it. Now it's Cao Cao's land, and it's okay for me to take it.
Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "If only Zhou Yu goes to take the South County, I can make it return without success and make the lord's city sit high. But if the national teacher goes to get it, we can only give in and can't compete with each other. Unless the lord wants to be the enemy of the national teacher.
Liu Bei knew that his Jinliang also knew the power of Nan Ye and hurriedly shook his head and said, "The national teacher has repeatedly helped me. If there was no national teacher, I would not have today. How can I be the enemy? It's just a loss in Nanjun, Jingzhou, Yizhou..."
Even if Liu Bei doesn't say it, Zhuge Liang can understand that his three-part world plan is likely to be died. However, this is not because Zhuge Liang is not intelligent. He really can't keep up with the changes. Nan Ye no longer lurked and led the army, which made all plans need to be customized.
Zhuge Liang could only comfort Liu Bei at this time: "Although the lord can't get Nanjun and Jingzhou, it is not difficult to get Xiangyang and Yuzhou with the help of a national teacher. It can be said that if there is a mistake, there will be a gain. Naturally, I will help the master plan.
