The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

The carriage stopped at Da Sima Mansion.

Xu Shu got out of the car.

At this time, the soldiers at the door stopped Xu Shu.

Xu Shu also knew the rules and took out his identity certificate.

After checking, the soldier said to Xu Shu:"Sir, please follow me."

Under the leadership of the soldier, Xu Shu came to the court.

At this time, Zhou Cheng was in the court, talking about current affairs with Li Ru, Jia Xu and others.

Regarding the improvement of policies and the improvement of implementation efficiency, etc.

After Xu Shu entered the court, he bowed to Zhou Cheng:"Xu Shu, the chief minister of Yingchuan, pays homage to the Grand Sima."

Zhou Cheng put down the slip in his hand and looked at Xu Shu.

Although Xu Shu is dressed as a Confucian scholar, he looks like a chivalrous knight.

Zhou Cheng said:"Wen Qian wrote to me, saying that you have a great talent. I wonder if you have a strategy for running a country and an army?"

Xu Shu replied:"Anyone who governs a country and an army must teach his children to be polite and inspire them to be righteous. It's shameful. A lady has a shame. When she's big, she's good enough to fight, but when she's small, she's good enough to defend." The general idea of ​​Xu Shu's words is that to manage the country and the army, you must use"ritual" to educate and appoint, and"righteousness" to inspire appointments. , is appointed to know shame. When people have a sense of shame, they can go to war if they are strong, and they can defend if they are weak.

Jia Xu, Li Ru, Guo Jia and others couldn't help but nod after hearing this.

This is very consistent with Confucian thought.

Zhou Cheng asked again:"Why conquer the world?"

Xu Shu replied:"It is easy to win, but difficult to defend. Therefore, it is said: In the Warring States Period, the five winners in the world will suffer disaster, the four winners will suffer disadvantages, the three winners will dominate, and the two winners will perish. A winner is the emperor. The great ancestor of the past was defeated by Xiang Yu many times, but he won in one battle. This can be used as a lesson."

Liu Bang was once chased by Xiang Yu, but after Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu had no chance to stand up.

Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang River.

Liu Bang became the master of the world.

Taking history as a mirror is Xu Shu’s simplest and most straightforward statement.

"Hahaha……"Xu Shu's answer made Zhou Cheng laugh.

Xu Shu stood in front of Zhou Cheng, calm and composed.

Zhou Cheng stood up and said to Xu Shu,"Sir, you are really talented."

After so many years of fighting, Zhou Cheng also understood a truth.

Why is it so difficult for grassland peoples to seek hegemony?

Even if they can continue to win as they rise, they will eventually fall.

That's because it's easy to win and to defend victory.

Zhou Cheng currently has the most adept army in the world. This army is invincible and can conquer all attacks.

Under the leadership of Zhou Cheng, they are confident that they can defeat any princes in the world.

However, defeating the enemy and winning on the battlefield cannot truly gain the world, because the fruits of victory cannot be kept.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng needs to constantly improve his thinking and use hegemony as the basis to quickly seize the world and hold on to victory.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended, until all schools of thought were deposed, and only Confucianism was respected.

Confucianism, benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, is a good reference.

Zhou Cheng was very satisfied with Xu Shu, so Zhou Cheng kept Xu Shu by his side and asked him to make suggestions for him.

Not only military affairs, but also government affairs.

Zhou Cheng needs more people's advice and reminders so that he can improve his new policy

……

Liu Bei is too difficult.

Puyang was surrounded by Yuan's army, and the food in the city was about to be exhausted.

However, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao were indeed not good at leading troops in battle.

Although Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao organized several times to lead troops to rescue Puyang, they were all repelled by Yuan's army.

On the other hand, Qiao Rui and Liu Xun attacked Cao Cao.

Cao Cao pretended to be defeated, decisively abandoned Wancheng, and led Qiao Rui and Liu Xun to attack Nanyang.

Borrow Yuan Shu's army to clear out the Jingzhou army and horses in Nanyang.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, kept asking Jingzhou for help.

If Liu Biao sends troops, Cao Cao will not only stand by and let Yuan and Liu fight, but he will benefit from it.

At that time, not only can Yuan and Liu's troops be eaten in one go, but Nanyang can also be occupied.

Wait until Nanyang is swallowed up, and then plot Jingzhou.

Take the land of Jingzhou, advance to Yizhou in the west, and capture Jiaozhou in the south. Based on the land of the three states, join forces with Sun Yat-sen to destroy Yuan and compete in the Central Plains.

Finally, go north to fight Zhou Cheng.

This is the strategy formulated by Xun You and Xun Yu for Cao Cao.

Of course, everything is a fantasy now. Whether it can be realized depends on the lives of all the soldiers in the army.

……

October 198 AD.

Xu Huang and Zhao Yun joined forces in Dongpingling City, with a combined army of 100,000.

At the same time, the Shenji Battalion was transferred from Jizhou.

Hundreds of catapults bombarded Dongpingling City day and night.

The city wall of Dongpingling City is broken, and there is a slight possibility of collapse.

Many houses in the city were burned down.

Later, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun decided to dig a tunnel leading to Dongpingling City.

In the city, Bao Xin adopted the advice of the city's counselors and dug trenches in the city to block the tunnels.

In mid-October, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang gave up tunnel excavation and turned to storming.

The Zhou army attacked fiercely for more than a month, and at the end of November, they broke through Dongpingling City.

Bao Xin brandished his sword and killed himself in the city.

Following Bao Xin's suicide, the resistance in the city quickly collapsed, and Dongpingling City was breached.

With the capture of Dongpingling City, the Battle of Qingzhou ended, and Zhou Cheng currently occupied Qingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and the Three Continents.
