Sun Ce slightly expressed his approval, but did not speak.

Lu Su is a practical man, with no clichés and aggressiveness. He speaks like a fight, without any ritual, righteous, and humbleness. This is in line with his personality. When he was on the bed, he also denied Sun Quan's so-called Huan Wen's merits, saying bluntly that the Han Dynasty cannot be revived, and he is a standard enterprising faction, and has nothing to do with the good people.

"The court moved westward and established its capital in Guanzhong. It had the foundation of the Qin Dynasty and the Yan Han Dynasty. If it attacked, it would be insufficient, and it would be more than the sanction. The four barriers of Guanzhong and Yizhou were rich. If it could be both, it would be beneficial to the western terrain. Bingzhou had Xiongnu and Liangzhou had Qiang. If it could be pacified, it would be able to obtain the strength of bows and horses and make up for the shortage of household registration, and it would be like a powerful Qin. However, there were many Confucian ministers in Guandong in the court, and because of conservativeness, it might not be willing to turn into Xia. The emperor was young and lacked prestige and difficult to hold power. He would be the ministers. Even if he had a self-improvement, he could not do whatever he wanted. Looking at it in a stern way, it would be ten years or twenty years. If Guanzhong was unable to go east, he would be defeated. This is a friend of the general, and he could be a good alliance with him."

"Yuan Shao fled north, relying on his four generations to accumulate power, he was able to dominate the world, and he was able to seize Yan, rob Hebei, and have a wealth of household registration. He had support from aristocratic families and powerful families, and the support from the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei, as well as the time, place and people. Only the generals cannot fight with him, and even the court must avoid the three houses. This general's strong enemy must be guarded against."

"Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian, who were humble from a family, had short-sighted knowledge, could not help the heroes in poor families, but could only show off their own wisdom and strive for their barbaric courage. They were able to seize the land of several counties in a state and counties for a while, and would be unable to continue for a long time and would eventually be merged by the strong. These are generals, and they can be driven to use them. Although Liu Yu was known as a royal family, his wisdom was short-sighted, his ambitions were low-key, and he was distorted, and he was about to lose. Jia Xu and Niu Fu were originally tigers and wolves from Liangzhou, living in Hedong, and they had lost their roots, and they had strong enemies on their side, which was not worth worrying about. Zhang Yan's yellow turban remnants and the mobs could be ignored."

"The general takes Jiangdong as the foundation and Jingyu as the two wings, and is attacked on both sides. When advancing westward, he takes low to high, and when he goes northward, he takes short positions to fight against cavalry. Both are at a disadvantage, difficult to advance and easy retreat. The general's father and son are born in a humble family, and they are not a family of officials for many generations, without the help of former officials, and the Jiangdong household registration cannot be in the enemy's enemy with the Central Plains. It can be said that the heaven, the place is good, and the people are harmonious. It seems that the wind is sweeping away the clouds, and there is one of the three parts of the world, but in fact it is like a house full of firewood, but if there is a slight negligence, it will cause fire to burn your body."

Sun Ce looked at Lu Su silently, feeling shocked. Compared to Lu Su who was opposite Sun Quan's bed, Lu Su had not yet left the East City. He did not know in detail about the recent situation, and he might not even know that Cao Cao had entered Yizhou, so he could only analyze it from the general trend. However, he pointed out the disadvantages of Jiangdong incisively, which was an irrefutable fact that he could not ignore.

He has occupied Yuzhou and most of Jingzhou, and also most of Yangzhou. If nothing unexpected happens, Yuzhang can buy it soon. For Zhou Yu to have another year and a half, Jingzhou can also buy it all. But this is the limit of Jiangdong. Going west and attacking Yizhou is difficult. Going north and entering the Central Plains, the disadvantage of shortage of war horses will make him difficult.

This is Sun Wu's limit, determined by the geographical situation and cannot be transferred by human will. He just reached the limit in advance. Compared to Sun Quan's limitations in Hefei, he could go a little further, but no matter how far he was, he would not cross the Yellow River. If this limit cannot be broken, it will be difficult to maintain rapid expansion momentum in the future.

"What if it does?" Sun Ce asked Lu Su for advice. There are many people who can see the disadvantages of Jiangdong. Whether there can be a solution to this problem is the touchstone that distinguishes ordinary people from experts.

"There are two strategies A and B, which are available for the general to choose."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. Are these strategists taught by one master? They are either the top, middle and lower strategies, or the two strategies A and B.

"I hope to hear the details."

"A plan, called the vassal of the court, and defended himself in the painting river to observe the situation in the world. Although Yuan Shao had the right time, place, and people, he also had internal worries. First, the family was in conflict, and the faction was numerous, and internal friction was inevitable. Second, the Confucian scholars were pedantic and broad, valued literature over military, and emphasized family members, talked about morality and despised power and strategy, and were graceful in peacetime, and were inevitably embarrassed in troubled times. Third, Yuan Shao was nearly fifty years old, and the overall situation was not determined, and he was attacked from all sides. If he could not gain an advantage within ten years, his wisdom and physical strength would be difficult to sustain. One thing went up and the other was worse, and the court fought against the Yuan family and fought for the Central Plains. The general might have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Sun Ce nodded. This plan is similar to the one on the bed, but it has been reduced. The fundamental reason is that the court moved its capital to Guanzhong. Once Yizhou falls into the hands of the court, it will be more difficult to capture than Liu Zhang's separatist control of Yizhou.

"What about Scheme B?"

"Aggregate Qingxu and guard Mount Tai, so that Yuan Shao cannot go south. He takes Yanzhou as the battlefield, and then uses Qingzhou as the foundation to cross Liaodong, and then occupy Youzhou." Lu Su faced Sun Ce's gaze and showed a strange excitement. "Once he has a war horse, the general can confront Yuan Shao in the Central Plains. The longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial it is to the general. If he can defeat Yuan Shao before the court goes east, the general may be able to win the world."

Sun Ce's eyes flashed and he didn't say anything for a long time. Lu Su's plan of B was indeed a very radical plan, and it was not small, but when he thought about it carefully, it was a choice. Even based on the current technical conditions, it was not difficult to go from Qingzhou to Liaodong. If he obtained a war horse, he could win the Central Plains with Yuan Shao. If he opened a battlefield in Youzhou, he could restrain Yuan Shao's energy.

"What strategy does Zijing prefer?"

Lu Su laughed silently and said lightly: "To be honest with the general, Su and Chengde Liu Ziyang are friends. He once invited me to Chang'an."

Sun Ce understood. If he used the armor strategy and called the vassal court, then Lu Su would not play with him. Going to the court as an official would definitely have a future than being an official in the vassal town. The current court is not Xu Du's puppet court. As long as he survives these ten years, when the old ministers leave one after another, Xun Yu, Liu Ye and others hold power, and with the emperor as the hero, the court still has a chance to turn over and at least he can control one side.

If you want to do it, you can do it with a big vote. For Lu Su, he doesn't want two thousand stones, or even three dukes and nine ministers. What he wants is to be in charge, compete with the heroes of the world, do a grand battle, make achievements, and leave a name in history.

Sun Ce's lips raised slightly and looked at Lu Su with a smile. "Taishi Ci is proficient in cavalry and has lived in Liaodong for several years. He is a suitable candidate to go to Liaodong. In this way, I lack a person who can hold Qingxu and strangle Yuan Shao's throat. I wonder if Zi Jing is willing to surrender?"

Lu Su shook his head and said seriously: "The general loves wrongly, and Su is ashamed of him. With Su's shallowness, it is already difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of being the prefect of Mount Tai. How dare you be the Qing Xuzhi?"

Sun Ce laughed. According to the strategy planned by Lu Su, Mount Tai is an anchor point, which is the key point of attacking Jizhou and guarding Qingzhou. It is also the leader of the Five Mountains. Being the prefect of Mount Tai is equivalent to staying in Qingxu.

"Don't worry, Zijing, I won't force others. Pulling seedlings to grow will be harmful to Zijing. Why not do this? The newly trained soldiers under my command still lack a few captains. If Zijing is willing, he will be temporarily wronged for a while and lead two thousand people to try it. How about it?"
