Chapter 225 Top Strategic Designers of the Three Kingdoms(1/2)
Yuan Yao is naturally looking forward to the friends recommended by Liu Ye.
Looking at his expectant look, Liu Ye immediately said without much thought and said bluntly:
"Young Master, this friend Ye's family lives in Dongcheng. He is a rich local tycoon. His surname is Lu, his name is Su, and his courtesy name is Zijing."
A word fell.
Liu Ye recommended Yuan Yao concisely and clearly.
As soon as he heard Lu Su's name, Yuan Yao's originally extremely calm mind suddenly became active.
Lu Su...
Yuan Yao, who is familiar with history, knows that this is the real top talent in the Three Kingdoms period.
Perhaps Lu Su is not very outstanding in tactical command ability compared to Zhou Yu, but his talent seems to be like a hexagonal warrior and is very comprehensive.
First of all, the military is rigorous in governance, able to closely coordinate the affairs of soldiers and soldiers in the army, and exert its due combat power.
Secondly, being independent and governing the soldiers is also an improvement to show their talents.
Of course, the most worthy of being the brunt is Lu Su's strategic overall view.
Looking at the "Pair on the Couch" portrayed by Sun Quan as soon as Lu Su appeared.
This has already reflected his extraordinary strategic vision and strategic level.
During the Battle of Chibi, the Confucian ministers headed by Zhang Zhao in the Eastern Wu all tried their best to persuade Sun Quan to surrender, but only Lu Su was not afraid of the danger and strengthened his determination to resist Cao in a few words.
Then, with a far-sighted vision, he immediately crossed the Yangtze River to Jingxiang with the opportunity of Liu Biao's death. However, after hearing that Liu Cong had surrendered to Cao, he immediately changed direction and rushed to Dangyang.
Finally met Liu Bei in Dangyang.
These scenes are not difficult to doubt. I am afraid that Lu Su would have seen that Cao Cao, who wanted to resist the power of the country, would inevitably join Liu Bei as soon as possible when Liu Biao passed away.
Of course, for Lu Su, the most proud thing is that he has been trying his best to maintain and balance the relationship between the Sun and Liu alliance and the conflicts that broke out.
This Sun-Liu alliance he formulated and planned is undoubtedly the most correct strategic policy.
This strategic policy coincides with the strategic concepts of Dong and Sun Quan mentioned by Zhuge Liang Longzhong.
This is the tacit understanding reached by the two top strategists in the world.
Regarding the strategic planning, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng are difficult to match Lu Su.
After the great victory in the Battle of Nanjun in the original history, Zhou Yu proposed to go westward to Yizhou, all based on the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then connect Ma Chao's two-part world strategy.
Compared with the Sun-Liu Alliance, this policy is simply too loopholes.
It should be noted that Liu Bei was able to enter Sichuan safely because of his identity as Liu Zhang and his internal support as a cover. He asked him to take the initiative to invite him to enter Sichuan to guard against Zhang Lu, Hanzhong.
For now, no matter how the Wu army should break through Yiling under the premise of losing its internal response, the extremely steep Wu Gorge in Yufu area is dangerous.
Even though Zhou Yu led his troops like a god, he could really win consecutive battles in the Battle of Entering Sichuan. Have you ever considered that Liu Bei's group would sit idly?
It should be noted that the Longzhong proposal proposed by Zhuge Liang was to establish the imperial profession based on Yizhou.
But if you follow Zhou Yu's strategic policy of dividing the world in two parts, then Nanjun must be in your own hands.
By then, Liu Bei's army was locked in the four counties in Jingnan. Apart from being able to explore Jiaozhou further south, they could only go east to plan for the land of Jiangdong.
If Zhou Yu really wanted to conquer Shu, would Liu Bei agree?
It's obvious!
Liu Bei could not sit idly by and watch Zhou Lang take over Shu.
But if the Eastern Wu insisted on doing this, the worst result would be that the two families would fight each other and fight a big battle.
The final outcome is nothing more than a fight between two tigers and one will be injured.
This must be something that Cao Cao would like to see him accomplished.
Once the battle between Sun and Liu families begins, Zhou Yu's plan to plot against Shu will inevitably be stranded.
At that time, the Wu army in Nanjun would fall into a dilemma.
The south will inevitably encounter Liu Bei's army, and the north will also face the Cao army retreating to Dangyang, Xiangyang and Jiangxia, which are already on the north side.
Wouldn't this be a crisis for the Wu army?
From a strategic perspective, Zhou Yu is indeed not as far away as Lu Su in his vision of the world!
Although Zhou Yu is indeed an outstanding handsome man in commanding the army.
But in terms of the overall strategic situation, there are indeed many factors that have not been taken into account.
Ignore too many details and don't think well.
In this regard, the strategic policy of joining Liu and resisting Cao that Lu Su has always adhered to has undoubtedly been comprehensively refined.
It is not yet mentioned that the tension between the two companies has been reduced to the lowest point.
In particular, the proposal of Sun Quan to take advantage of Nanjun is one of Lu Su's big moves.
It would be hard for anyone to borrow the important town you have won from hard work and bloody battles to others.
But this is also Lu Su's cleverness.
With that half of Nanjun, he successfully eliminated the conflict between the Sun and Liu families.
After borrowing Nanjun, Liu Bei had a place to send troops, so he would no longer be eyeing his side. Instead, he would always have to spend energy to prevent it.
This is the first benefit.
Secondly, letting Nanjun be in Liu Bei can allow Liu Bei to directly border Cao Cao's territory.
At this time, the general who was on the front line of the Western Front to fight against Cao's army was no longer the Wu army, but the Liu Bei group.
The Wu army could use Liu Bei's army to resist the military pressure brought by the Cao army on the western front and turn the strategic goals straight to the eastern front.
Lu Su was originally a person from the Jianghuai River, so he naturally knew the importance of the Huai River Basin to the Jiangdong land.
If the Huaihe River Basin can be occupied, the Wu army can completely take the initiative.
By then, the Jiangdong Navy will be able to gallop across the major tributary systems of the Huaihe River Basin, and can truly attack and retreat and defend!
If you lose the protection of the Huaihe River Basin, it is not just a loss of initiative.
Without the Huaihe River Basin, the Wu army would have no place to use its power in the north when it attacked Huainan.
The enemy only needs to defend the Hefei line, which will prevent the Jiangdong Navy from entering the Feishui waters, and thus gallop across the Huaihe line.
And in terms of defense, there is no solution.
Without the protection of the Huaihe River Basin, the Yangtze River defense line is full of ferries everywhere. How can we defend it?
From this perspective, Lu Su's proposal to "borrow Nanjun" is definitely not a saying that he is a good person, but definitely far-sighted and has a vision, a vision of the world, rather than caring about the gains and losses of a city and a place.
By borrowing from the Nanjun, the Western Front maintained the Sun-Liu Alliance, and instead consolidated the results of the Eastern Front and opened up territory.
This is the core of the alliance with Liu and Cao.
Not only that, the Sun-Liu Alliance has also brought about great changes in the world.
In the original history, Cao Cao retreated to the north to recuperate due to the defeat of Chibi, and was panicked when he heard that the Wu army had borrowed Nanjun and could not help but fall to the ground.
Perhaps, in Cao Cao's opinion, if the Sun and Liu families broke up and fought over the dispute between Nanjun, even if Nanjun lost it, it would be extremely worth it.
But when I heard that the two families were still living together peacefully, I am afraid that Cao Cao would have collapsed deep in his heart at this time.
It is probably from this time that he realized that it would be difficult for him to clear the south of the Yangtze River in his life.
This move undoubtedly laid the foundation for three parts of the world.
The Sun-Liu Alliance will also be the most important part of the world's pattern.
As long as the two companies can maintain an alliance, they will be united against Cao.
Then Cao Cao will continue to be under great pressure from the two families and will not be able to dominate one.
If the two families merge, the Cao family will be in danger!
If the two families are divided, the Cao family will dominate and unify the world will be accomplished!
Since the Battle of Xiangfan and the Wu army attacked Jingxiang, Cao Wei had already formed a dominant situation at that time.
Since then, the two families have been unable to shake the foundation of the Cao family.
"In the original history, joining Liu and Cao has always been a strategic policy that Lu Su adhered to throughout his life, and has been trying his best to maintain it. But in the end, he himself could not resist the erosion of time and passed away."
For a moment, Yuan Yao couldn't help but think about Lu Su's deeds.
In the original history of Lusu, it was the death of the 22nd year of Jian'an, and the Battle of Hanzhong and the Battle of Xiangfan followed one after another.
In these two major battles, various rebellions in the north, popular uprisings that were overwhelmed by excessive corvee labor, and other matters have made Cao Cao very anxious. Facing the battle situation of the two fronts of Xiangfan in Hanzhong.
This time, Cao Cao almost died in the last two years.
If Lu Su could survive this time, it would be obvious that with Lu Su's strategic overall view, he would definitely not be as short-sighted as Lu Meng and would stick to the city and ground in Jingzhou.
He would definitely urge Sun Quan to take the opportunity to sweep the Huaihe River Basin and consolidate the land in Huainan.
Then make full preparations for the next step in pursuing the Central Plains.
