As one of the four major governors of Soochow, Lu Meng was inferior to Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, but he was also a top commander who could stand alone. And one thing to note is that he was different from Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, but he was an out-and-out commander-in-chief.

Grassroots, real grassroots with nothing! Not people from poor families or well-educated people.

He was poor when he was a child and had no education. Later, he joined his brother-in-law Deng Dang and had the opportunity to lead the army. Later, he fought his way up from a young general and made many meritorious deeds. He was also studious and tireless, and finally became a man with strategic vision, wisdom and courage.

general.

Compared with Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, who were of noble birth and received good education since childhood, Lu Meng's starting point was too low, and he missed the most malleable period of adolescence. The gap between the two sides was almost as big as the world.

It is normal to be inferior to the first two. A grassroots person who cannot read many words at the age of thirty, cannot write proclamations and memorials, and can only go to Sun Quan to dictate in front of Sun Quan when forced, can become the governor of Soochow and become the governor of Soochow.

You can imagine how much hardship and hard work went into this for a general who is both wise and brave. Now, it is no less difficult than a young man who is still illiterate when he is an adult and ended up studying at Tsinghua University and Peking University.

The reason why Yuan Shu was so confident in Lü Meng was because his arrival changed Lü Meng's life trajectory. Although he still did not receive a good education when he was young, at least he did not fall behind during the golden period of learning between the ages of fourteen and eighteen.

Yuan Shu recruited Jinling Academy to make up for his previous backwardness. Although Lu Meng can only be said to be excellent now, he is not outstanding enough, but Yuan Shu believes that he can catch up from behind. Most people's abilities are basically basic in their twenties.

Although the shape has been finalized, Lu Meng's plasticity far exceeds that of most people, and he can still learn and grow from scratch after the age of thirty.

Yuan Shu did not believe that Lu Meng, whom he had tried his best to train, could not compare with the Lu Meng who had a bumpy journey in history and learned from Lu Meng at the age of thirty. Not to mention catching up with Zhou Yu, Lu Xun at least could not fall behind much! A talented and intelligent person like Zhou Yu

, is now close to perfection and has reached the peak of his ability. Although Lu Meng started a little slower now and is a little less talented, he is talented and works hard enough, so he may not be able to catch up.

"My lord, do you plan to let Lu Meng join the army?" Guo Jia knew Yuan Shu very well and could immediately see through Yuan Shu's thoughts from his words and tone.

"That's right!" Yuan Shu nodded: "I'm not sure about Ziming's talents in economics and political strategy, and I don't need him to make achievements in these two areas. But in terms of military strategy, strategy and strategy, he has

His qualifications are indeed top-notch, and he should focus on cultivating them in these aspects. After all, he comes from a humble background and does not receive education from a young age like Gong Jin and Boyan. It is better to put aside his knowledge of economics, justice and political strategy for the time being. He will be able to become a garrison coach in the future.

It’s time to learn. It’s better to send him to the army for training first!”

Although Yuan Shu had great trust in Lü Meng's character and talent, what shone in history must be gold. However, although Lü Meng in history had learned a lot about economics, justice and politics, what he showed was that he led troops in battle and commanded an aspect.

Yes, Yuan Shu did not have time to wait for Lu Meng to fully develop. It would be too long to wait until Lu Meng was in his thirties or forties before evolving into the ultimate form. It would be better to let him join the army and develop into a commander first.

"Well, what the lord said makes sense. Then where does the lord plan to send him?" Guo Jia asked.

"What do you think?"

"I'm afraid it's Liaodong again!" Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "If Yuan Benchu ​​knew that you were treating him as a whetstone, I'm afraid he would have to fight to the death with you, my lord!"

"Haha!" Yuan Shu laughed loudly when he heard this: "That's right, I just treat Yuan Benchu ​​as a whetstone, but what can he do to me even if he knows it? The battlefield in northern Xinjiang is extremely wide, and our army is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but because of the cavalry

Because Yuan Shao can't do anything to our army, it's perfect to use it to train these boys. That boy Shiyuan has long been clamoring to go, plus Ziming, let them go together. By the way, Wen Yuan will be transferred back.

, after all, our main battlefields in the future will still be concentrated in the Central Plains region!"

Opening up the side battlefield of Liaodong is really a win-win for Yuan Shu. Although it disperses a lot of Yuan Shu's troops, Yuan Shu, who is huge and has many soldiers, lacks tens of thousands of troops? Just like the Battle of Guandu.

Yuan Shao, is there any difference between leading an army of 700,000 and leading an army of 600,000? Compared with Cao Cao's only more than 100,000 troops, there is no point in having more than 100,000 troops. It is better to keep a separate army of 100,000 to prevent accidents.

, and can also have the strength to fight. (The military strength here is mainly based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After all, it cannot be written according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.)

Moreover, spending tens of thousands of troops, the number of soldiers and horses that can restrain Yuan Shao will definitely be no less than this. The long border of Youzhou is the direction where Yuan Shu's army can attack, and Yuan Shu will not reject anyone who comes, including population, city, and supplies. Or does Yuan Shao arrange it?

With an army of 100,000, it is impossible to defend Youzhou against Yuan Shu's cavalry.

"My lord, aren't you afraid that something might happen to these young generals in Youzhou? Yuan Benchu ​​is not that easy to deal with. If you are not careful, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Yuan Shu shook his head slightly: "War is not just playing house. Anything can happen on the battlefield. I can only try to reduce the risk. If they really die on the way, I can only blame them on their own incompetence and luck.

No good. With Gongjin and Zilong here, they should be fine."

"My lord, don't forget, Shi Yuan is not an obedient master either? Can he obey Gong Jin's arrangements?" Guo Jiahu said.

"Well" when he thought of Pang Tong's arrogant and ugly face, Yuan Shu felt that he seemed to be a little hasty for a moment. This guy looked like a proud and arrogant person. He died at the foot of Luofeng Slope for his own reasons. Zhou Yuneng

Yuan Shu is really not sure if he can't be defeated. If the foreign emperor's orders are not met, if this guy is separated from Zhou Yu and serves as the leading counselor alone, he may really be able to do such a thing.

Yuan Shu hesitated for a moment, then said: "It doesn't matter, if the young eagle is not pushed off the cliff, how can it fly high? If he takes risks, he must be mentally prepared to bear the consequences of failure. I will send someone to talk to him

It's clear. In addition, to be on the safe side, you send someone to inform Gong Jin about this and let him be mentally prepared. If it is necessary to divide the troops, let Zilong and Shi Yuan team up, and he and Sun Ce team up, which will complement each other. That's the truth.

Even if someone is in danger, Zilong can protect his life without any worries."

"What about Lu Ziming? How to determine his position?"

"Let him follow Gong Jin and serve as Gong Jin's personal bodyguard for the time being. He will learn for a while. You explain to Gong Jin and let him take more care of him. Some special treatment that can be given within the rules must still be given. I can

We don’t really want Lu Ziming to be a pawn." Yuan Shu said unceremoniously.

The special treatment Yuan Shu mentioned here is not promotion, commanding an army, etc., but the privilege of observing Zhou Yu's strategic discussions and commands as a personal soldier and making remarks. The state has national laws and the army has military discipline. Yuan Shu has always disliked privileges.

, but for talents like Lu Meng, it is okay to give him some power that does not violate military rules and disciplines. In fact, this is one of the powers that Lu Meng can have as a personal guard. Most of the personal guards are close followers of the general. But under normal circumstances,

It would be good if the personal guards had the ability and level to understand the strategic command given by the general. How could they be qualified to get involved? Those who could participate would become deputy generals.
