Volume 1 Jiangdong Fengyun Chapter 7: The Talent of Ghosts and Gods
"Don't think too much about it. Liu Bei won't feel at ease to put . After all, there are many people under his command who are not in good temper with Ling... and General Lu. In addition to the current situation in Xuzhou, I estimate that General Lu will most likely be stationed outside!
Xiaopei has been under the control of Xuzhou since Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, and it is the only way for Yuzhou to enter Xuzhou. It is likely that there are troops stationed here to form a pincer attack with Pengcheng. "
Bai Tu almost instinctively said "Lingqi's father", but fortunately he reacted suddenly and changed his words.
As for "Lord", Lu Bu had not mentioned it to Bai Tu yet, and Bai Tu felt that his level was too low, and he felt embarrassed to force himself to call him "Lord". If someone didn't know, they would think he was trying to cheat for a meal ticket.
But it was really an accident. Except for Lu Lingqi, everyone seemed to agree that this was a manifestation of Bai Tu's talent and confidence?
At this time, there was a very simple map on the small table, with no details and almost no clear meaning. It seemed to be drawn by Chen Gong himself. After looking at Xiao Pei for a while, he sighed: "Mr. Bai is very talented, but Gong is just a mediocre person who is making trouble for himself ."
White picture: ???
Bai Tu still didn’t quite understand how he discovered his “great talent”?
What Xiaopei and what Pengcheng are are just Bai Tu's casual remarks based on his understanding of history.
No matter in history or in the novel, after Lu Bu surrendered to Liu, he was settled in Xiaopei - in theory, this place should belong to Yuzhou, but because it was always tossed around by people from Xuzhou, people had the illusion that this place belonged to Xuzhou.
During the Han Dynasty, when the counties and kingdoms coexisted, Xiaopei was a county town under Pei County, and Pei County was the core county of Pei State...
But now in this world, Bai Tu had already found out with Lu Lingqi that the feudal state had been abolished long ago, and only "Pei County" remained.
Xiaopei is a small town under Pei County, Pei County. It is not too big but has a very important geographical location. It is the key point for Yuzhou to enter Xu!
Tao Qian looks like an honest old man, but in fact he actually controlled Xiaopei when the Han Dynasty's local control was weak.
Later, this place became the "dormitory of warlords" living in Xuzhou. When Liu Bei just left Gongsun Zan and came to Xuzhou, Tao Qian asked him to stay in Xiaopei. When Lu Bu came to find Liu Bei, Liu Bei also asked him to stay in Xiaopei. Even in the later development of history, after Lu Bu took over Xuzhou, he also asked Liu Bei to go to Xiaopei...
From this we can also see that this is a geographically important place and at the same time a place that makes Xuzhou feel at ease!
Not only can it form a pincer attack with Pengcheng, but... Xiaopei has limited population and arable land. The potential benefit is that the warlords stationed here can only wait for support from Xuzhou.
As for Pengcheng, it is the current seat of Xuzhou's provincial capital. According to the customs of this world, the provincial capital can also be directly called by the name of the state, that is - Xuzhou City!
Chen Gong was looking at the map at this time, his brows furrowed more and more.
To some extent, Bai Tu's ability to predict the future makes him a perfect match for Chen Gong.
The "strategy" that awakened with the official seal also reflects the ability inclination of the strategist. Chen Gong is not a person who plans for the long term, or he is not suitable for planning the overall situation or planning for eternity. He is better at responding to changes in situation, and when it comes to planning for a certain area or a certain period of time, he is already at the top level in the world.
With just a little reminder from Bai Tu, Chen Gong immediately understood the pros and cons of Xiaopei, and believed that Liu Bei would make this choice.
Bai Tu had also learned some things about Chen Gong from Lu Lingqi before.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Gong followed Cao Cao when he was at his lowest point and fled after his failed attempt to assassinate Dong Zhuo. However, because Cao Cao murdered Lü Bushe's family, which is the famous incident of "I would rather let the world betray me than be betrayed by the world", Chen Gong resolutely left Cao Cao. After Lü Bu was defeated and fled to Chang'an, Chen Gong chose to assist Lü Bu and planned a strategy for Lü Bu to launch a surprise attack on Yanyu.
In history, Chen Gong served under Cao Cao and became the prefect of Dongjun. He became alienated from Cao Cao because he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao killing famous scholars in Yanzhou. When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Chen Gong joined forces with other officials from all over Yanzhou who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao and took the initiative to welcome Lu Bu to Yanzhou.
Judging from what Lu Lingqi said, the "facts" in this world right now are closer to the former - Lu Lingqi didn't know about more private things, but at least she knew that Chen Gong joined Lu Bu's army when her father was defeated and fled to Chang'an.
"If it were in Xiaopei, I'm afraid... the hidden dragon would find it difficult to emerge from the abyss..." Chen Gong muttered to himself, and then looked at Bai Tu.
Seeing the meaning of Chen Gong's question, Bai Tu felt a little embarrassed.
Did Bai Tu want to tell Chen Gong that in the future he could wait for an opportunity "when Liu Bei leads his troops to fight Yuan Shu, and then take advantage of the conflict between Zhang Fei who stayed behind and the various families in Xuzhou to directly seize Xuzhou"?
This can't be explained by "predicting things like a god", right?
Can we kill him and offer him as a sacrifice to the gods?
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being in Xiaopei... Qianlong? Ahem, I also admire General Lu's bravery, but... does Military Advisor Chen want General Lu to unify the world?" Bai Tu had to ask vaguely.
"Cough cough cough!" Chen Gong coughed violently upon hearing this. Bai Tu saw this and hurriedly helped him drink water.
"Drink more hot water, drink more hot water..."
"You, you...what do you mean, Mr. Bai? Unify the world? The emperor is still alive, the Han Dynasty is not overthrown, and it's not the chaotic times of the pre-Qin period. How can you talk about unifying the world?" Chen Gong said in shock and anger, not caring about the burning mouth.
"Ah? Isn't the Han Dynasty finished yet?" Bai Tu was also surprised.
Bai Tu immediately realized that he felt the Han Dynasty was doomed, all because of the "spoilers".
Including Chen Gong, many loyal officials and celebrities in the court and the country, and even some of the world's top strategists, still believed that the Han Dynasty could be saved!
After all, as the first long- lasting unified dynasty, there was no "previous lesson". Although Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty in the middle, people generally still tacitly accepted the Han Dynasty's 400 years of uninterrupted legitimacy.
Some are even more optimistic, believing that there is no need for "rescue" at all, and that this is just a normal cycle of troubles in the Han Dynasty, and it will pass if we just endure it...
Including Chen Gong, everyone called him "Lord", but in their hearts, they only regarded their lord as "a hero of the restoration" or "a person of great power".
The ambitions of the warlords themselves are also expanding step by step... To replace the Han Dynasty and establish an independent state? At this stage, that is all a dream!
Only a very small number of top strategic strategists who "plan for eternity" would believe that the Han Dynasty has run out of luck, and the best they can do is take advantage of the situation... and use its remaining power.
Chen Gong can perform at a top level in a battle in a certain area or a temporary battle, but his vision for the overall situation is poor. He thinks that the best outcome is to assist Lu Bu in returning to Chang'an and welcoming back the Han emperor!
Bai Tu couldn't figure out how to explain the principle to Chen Gong... Should he talk about the law of dynasty cycles?
At the same time, he also felt a little regretful. His reaction just now was too instinctive. Would Chen Gong see through his tricks?
How about just admitting that he is incompetent and calling Lingqi over to hug his lap?
Bai Tu didn't bother him for too long. Soon he found that the anger on Chen Gong's face had faded away, replaced by a "changing situation", as if he had understood the essence of facial expression...
After a while, Chen Gong reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had made up his mind. He knelt down and bowed, saying, "Mr. Bai is a genius. Please give me some advice."
White picture: ???
"Ahem, maybe I'm wrong. The Han Dynasty can still be saved!"
"Mr. Bai, please forgive me for being stupid... please stop laughing at me." Chen Gong said embarrassedly.
Bai Tu was also helpless. Why was it that every time he sincerely wanted to let the other party know that he was not smart, the other party would think of this as him looking down from a high position of intelligence...
