Chapter 002 Grand Strategy
Sun Ce narrowed his eyes and smiled more intimately. "Gongjin, first of all, I didn't say that I wanted to dominate the world, but just discussed the situation in the world. Secondly, who said I must not be able to do it? Just because my Sun family was born in a gentle and beautiful family? Don't forget that Emperor Gao was just a pavilion leader when he started in Pei County, and Emperor Guangwu was just a farmer when he started in Nanyang. His father is now the governor of Yuzhou, and he is the general of the defeated barbarians and the title of Marquis of Wucheng. The starting point is always higher than that of them, right?"
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu while talking. Zhou Yu in history finally followed Sun Ce. During the Battle of Chibi, he was a firm warring faction and was determined to seize Jiangdong. But now, Sun Ce really dared not make up for what he thinks. He deliberately said so explicitly, just to test what Zhou Yu was thinking. If Zhou Yu also felt that the Han family was out of the way, then they were like-minded. If Zhou Yu still had the Han family in his heart, then some things he could not entrust to Zhou Yu for the time being, and then he would talk about them when the time was right.
Seeing that Sun Ce was speaking seriously, Zhou Yu also put away his jokes and thought for a while. "If it comes to the situation in the world, I think it is better to be based in Nanyang and occupy Hebei, just like Emperor Guangwu back then. But..." He glanced at Sun Ce again, with a smile in his eyes. "Yuan Benchu probably disagrees."
Sun Ce felt relieved. It seems that although the Han family has more than 20 years left, in the eyes of many people, it is probably already sunset and there are not many days left. At least in Zhou Yu's opinion, fighting for dominance in the world and changing dynasties is not an issue that cannot be discussed.
"Then what should we do now?" Sun Ce was very tempted, like facing the big bad wolf in Little Red Riding Hood, step by step leading Zhou Yu to the road of no return to achieve success.
"Is this more important? Of course I am dependent on the Yuan family." Zhou Yu laughed, but he smiled a little cunningly. "Bo Fu, what Ling Zun is doing now is the best choice. The Yuan family's three generations have been unfaithful to the expectations of the world. Now Yuan's highway is located in Nanyang, Yuan Benchu is located in Hebei, and the heroes of the world are rushing to follow. Shandong is almost the world of the Yuan family, and it will take a few years to... "
Sun Ce tilted his mouth and did not match Zhou Yu's accent. Even if he did not have the foresight of the time traveler, he knew that Zhou Yu was joking. The Yuan brothers had been in the army for a year and a half. As the first family in Lujiang, the Zhou family has not expressed their opinions so far. Obviously, they are not optimistic about the Yuan brothers. How could Zhou Yu think that they can accomplish things? If this is the case, he would be too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Yu.
Seeing Sun Ce's cold face, Zhou Yu felt bored and said seriously: "Okay, Yuan Shao is indecisive, Yuan Shu is brave but not wise, and with his brothers' slurs, even if he learns the superstition of Emperor Guangwu, it is difficult to be exquisite. However, the Yuan family's four generations and three masters, and their disciples and former officials are everywhere in the world, but they should not be underestimated."
Sun Ce nodded, but did not comment, but just signaled Zhou Yu to continue.
Sun Ce's reaction was dull, but Zhou Yu frowned unconsciously, and his heart was turbulent. He was the same age as Sun Ce, but he hit it off again, but the two had different advantages. Sun Ce had good martial arts skills and was a rare warrior, but he had a family background and was slightly better in his knowledge. If the two competed with martial arts and skills, Sun Ce would naturally have the upper hand. If he talked about military and government affairs like today, he was the unscrupulous narrator. Sun Ce usually only listened to it. However, today Sun Ce's reaction was different from the past, and he was invisibly more confident. He seemed to know what he wanted to say, which surprised him.
For example, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian were frightened by Yuan Shu's family background and handed over Nanyang. Yuan Shu therefore expressed his support for Sun Jian to defeat the general and lead the governor of Yuzhou. He was a prince in the toilet. The father and son of the Sun family were very grateful to Yuan Shu. Sun Ce could not listen to others saying that Yuan Shu was not good, but his reaction at this moment was very different from before, completely different from the previous one.
Zhou Yu asked tentatively: "Bo Fu, when did you... have different views on Yuan Gaolu?"
Sun Ce knew that Zhou Yu would be suspicious and said casually: "You have said everything. Dong Zhuo has not been destroyed and his brothers are already in a vain. What are the hopes for such people?"
Zhou Yu was relieved and praised: "I know the difference and know the difference, but I know the mistakes and can correct them. Bo Fu is wise."
Sun Ce smiled and said nothing. You can say anything, as long as you don’t suspect that I am a fake.
Zhou Yu continued his analysis. "In the melee of Shandong prefectures and counties, Bo Fu had two choices: either temporarily rely on Yuan like General Ling Zunsun and take the opportunity to strengthen himself; or find another way to seek a remote prefecture and county, to accumulate energy and wait for the opportunity to move."
Sun Ce shook his head. "Yuan Shu is not a wise ruler. When his father fought with Dong Zhuo, he had no food. This alliance may not last long, and a gap will arise for a long time. Remote prefectures and counties can only be at peace, which is not enough to compete for the world. Gongjin thinks again."
After being denied by Sun Ce one after another, Zhou Yu's momentum was frustrated, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed and dissatisfied. He gave Sun Ce two suggestions, but in fact there was only one suggestion, that is, leave the Central Plains and avoid the edge. In his opinion, the Sun family was too weak and it was okay to rely on Yuan Shu. If they were separated from Yuan Shu, they were not qualified to participate in the melee. It would be better to find a remote place to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. Although there were not many opportunities, it was better than being Yuan Shu's minions. He admitted that this was a certain distance from the battle for the world that Sun Ce asked for, but he believed that this was the most suitable development strategy for Sun Ce.
"Bo Fu, Emperor Gao also stayed away from Hanzhong back then." Zhou Yu defended, unknowingly increasing his voice.
"Liu Yan has occupied Yizhou, so he can't let me go to Hanzhong." Seeing Zhou Yu being angry with success, Sun Ce was proud and shook his head with a smile. "What you want to talk about is the counties in Jiangdong, right?"
Zhou Yu nodded. He did think so. The Sun family is from Wujun, so it is of course the most suitable for development in Jiangdong. "Danyang produces elite troops. You can attack across the river and retreat. You can defend on the river and plunder Wuhui. Moreover, the prefect of Danyang Zhou Xin is not familiar with military affairs, so you can go down in one go and take over the river and take over it."
"It is easy to occupy Wuhui, but it is difficult to defend it. If the enemy occupy Jingzhou and go down the river, there is no danger to defend Jiangdong, so it is not enough to fight for the world."
Zhou Yu was speechless. He knew it was easy to occupy Jiangdong and it was difficult to fight for the world. It was not easy for Sun Ce to think of this, especially he was very courageous to reject the temptation of returning home. But with the strength of the Sun family, what else can you do besides this strategy?
"Bo Fu, what should you do if you want it?"
Zhou Yu had no choice but to ask Sun Ce for advice. Unconsciously, he put away the faint sense of superiority. All Sun Ce thought of him was enough to prove that Sun Ce thought more deeply about this issue than him, and he might have had some experience. He could not give any better suggestions, so he could only see what Sun Ce had to do.
Seeing Zhou Yu bowing his head to ask for advice, Sun Ce felt very accomplished. The pattern was broken! No matter how smart you are, you can't get out of the limitations of the times. You have to compare with my time traveler two thousand years later. Hehe, you are a little tender. Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and kept it a secret. "I can't tell you now. I'll tell you now, you don't have a deep impression. I'll give you a few more days to think about it. If you can't think of it then, it's not too late to tell you." After that, he picked up the clothes hanging on the bedside and draped them out, laughing and going out.
"Hey, why are you doing this-" Zhou Yu was anxious and got up. He wanted to ask Sun Ce to understand, but he was slower. He couldn't hold it back. He had to stare at Sun Ce's back, curl his lips, and snorted indignation: "Hmph, I'm just talking about it." In an instant, he showed some of the unique competitive and unwillingness of the young man. He sat in the quilt with his eyebrows slightly frowned. After thinking for a long time, he didn't think of a better way and was very distressed. "Is there really a better strategy? What would that be?"
