Chapter 82 Grand Strategy
When Liu Ye was still young, he followed his mother's order and entered the room to hold a sword and beheaded the servant who was favored by his father.
He was able to kill people fearlessly at a young age, and after he succeeded, he calmly convinced his father not to pursue the matter with a few words.
With such a calmness, you can see that Liu Ye’s nature is definitely not an ordinary person.
...
"I wonder what Brother Ziyang's next plan is, and whether he wants to go to Chaohu?"
After the two chatted for a while, Yuan Yao began to tentatively ask each other's plans.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye's face was still filled with calmness and replied, "Does that young master think Ye would choose to rely on Zheng Bao?"
Such a replies caught Yuan Yao off guard, but he still smiled quickly and said, "How is this possible?"
"That Zheng Bao was just a powerful armed clan who relied on the power of the court and took advantage of the situation. He was just a porpoise. What's the big prospect?"
"Brother Ziyang has no other substantial benefits than wasting time."
A few words are over.
Yuan Yao extremely belittled Zheng Bao, so he stared at Liu Ye again and responded confidently: "It is better to rely on this young master than to rely on that old thief Zheng Bao."
"Brother Ziyang's eyes should be able to see that in the future, the only one of my Yuan clans is the master of Jiang, Huai, Ru area, and even the entire Yangzhou?"
After bragging about himself, Yuan Yao's face was like a corner of the wall, without blushing and heartbeat at all.
Seeing Yuan Yao’s self-proclaimed, Liu Ye couldn’t help but be amused for a moment, and then said, “Hahaha. Mr. Yuan is not humble at all. He didn’t expect to be so confident?”
"Of course, for the entire Yangzhou area, nothing can make Yao so confident."
"What's more, Zheng Bao wanted to persuade Brother Ziyang to go to Chaohu to serve him, but what capital does that old thief have to compare with me?"
"Brother Ziyang should be able to see that with the current strong strength of our army, it would be easy to destroy Zheng Bao, right?"
After a while, Yuan Yao did not choose to slowly draw him, but directly spread out his own hard power face to attract Liu Ye's surrender.
Yuan Yao’s intentions are very obvious.
He was warning Liu Ye that although Yangzhou is large, only Yuan can stand firm.
Relying on other forces, they will only become prisoners of war in the future.
The rest of the road is a dead end, and only by submitting to us is the road of light.
This meaning is revealed in Yuan Yao's words, but with Liu Ye's thoughts, he still thought it through.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye laughed dryly and said, "What is the ambition of the young master?"
"Want to be the overlord who ruled one side or aspire to the world?"
After thinking for a while, Liu Ye began to tentatively investigate Yuan Yaolai. On the one hand, when he was chatting just now, he could feel that Yuan Yao's body and words were emitting an invisible affinity, which could make people feel a sense of intimacy.
On the other hand, he also felt that Yuan Yao might have a certain degree of the ruler.
What's more, in recent days, Yuan Yao's reputation in the Jianghuai region has gradually become established, and the number of scholars and people mentioned him has gradually increased.
Thinking of Yuan Yao's various advantages and the huge potential given to him by the family behind him, Liu Ye made a decision without thinking for a long time.
"Since you have raised your army and separatist Yangzhou as a rich man, how could this be done by a man?"
"A real man will never stop dying. If he does not have the ambition to conquer the world, wouldn't he live up to his life?"
"Hahaha……"
Yuan Yao also expressed his ambitions with endless smiles.
If you don’t have ambitions, won’t you live up to your comfortable life?
The Great Han Dynasty was destroyed and the Yuan family flourished.
Although Liu Ye was a relative of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Yao had no idea of concealing himself.
Because he is a rather strange royal family.
In the original history, Liu Ye not only did not have the dream of reviving the Han Dynasty, but also joined the reactionary forces such as Zheng Bao and Liu Xun.
Even later, Cao Cao had the intention to be king and prince, but he did not stop Xun Yu as harshly. On the contrary, he expressed some support, and then became a "loyal minister of the Great Wei Dynasty."
From this we can see that Liu Ye is not an idealist.
He didn't care so much about whether the Han Dynasty could revive, but rather about what kind of benefits he could get.
After learning about the ambition in detail, Liu Ye nodded silently in his heart, pondered for a while, and said, "With the view of the young master, if you want to dominate the Central Plains, where will the next path develop?"
These words are a bright and silly exam for Yuan Yao.
The so-called "A minister also chooses a king."
Before making a decision, Liu Ye also needs to see whether the main force is effective.
When Yuan Yao heard this, he naturally knew all this, so he smiled and said, "Ding Jiangbei and Ping Jiangdong six counties, taking full control of Yangzhou, renovating political principles internally, pursuing the barbarians and Yue externally, and accumulating soldiers."
"After several years, when the troops are strong and the grain is abundant, the army is enough, he will lead his troops to the north to settle the Central Plains, and swallow up the prefectures and counties on both sides of the Yellow River in one fell swoop, using his goal to capture the world and achieve unparalleled achievements."
After a long and silly speech, Yuan Yao talked about his strategic plan in a magnificent manner.
After hearing this, Liu Ye quickly began to think silently in his mind.
After a while, he couldn't help asking: "Ye has something unknown, I hope the young master can solve the problem."
"What's the matter? Please tell me that Brother Yang will say everything?"
After saying that, Liu Ye said slowly: "According to the young master's plan, Yangzhou will be used to develop and accumulate strength, and then based on this, we will achieve a strategic rear of going north to compete for the Central Plains."
"But why didn't the young master first consider taking several counties in Jingxiang to the west, and then entering Sichuan to Yizhou, thus achieving the great plan to dominate the south?"
A few words slowly fell.
Liu Ye remained silent and waited for a response.
But at this moment, Yuan Yao said bluntly: "This is the view of a fool!"
"With Brother Ziyang's wise vision, if Ruoyao really does this, I'm afraid Brother Ziyang will turn around and leave immediately now?"
"What did the young master say this?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye still had a smile on his face, pretending not to understand.
But Yuan Yao's heart was like a mirror. This was definitely Liu Ye deliberately testing himself.
Because, he knew very well that dominating the entire South seemed to be an extremely great strategic plan, but in fact it was the stupidest and short-sighted expression.
After thinking through this level, Yuan Yao responded slowly: "Brother Ziyang thought that if you took Jingxiang west, it would not take time and effort?"
"Whether it is Jingxiang or Yizhou, it is a place with great land and abundant resources. How easy is it to calm down in a short period of time?"
"I'm afraid our army has not yet pacified the entire south, and the overall situation in the north may have been settled."
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that those who have won the Central Plains will win the world. If we do not take advantage of the chaos in the north to go north to lay the overall situation, and wait for the Central Plains to fight again after they are unified, how difficult will it be?"
After these words, Yuan Yao paused and said, "Secondly, although the territory will be extremely large, it has lost the conditions for expansion and progress. He can only choose to seize the Jiang and defend the world and divide the world with two separatist strategies."
"Because, if the rolling Yangtze River is taken, there will be hundreds of ferries that can provide crossings alone. How many troops will our army need to defend the entire Yangtze River, and how many troops will there be to expand and advance?"
"So, in Yao's opinion, dominating the south seems to be a perfect strategy, but when you think about it carefully, it is a manifestation of short-sightedness."
"What do you think, Brother Ziyang?"
