"Then how will the situation in Yanzhou change? Can Yuan Shu put his hand in?"

"Judging from the current situation, it is a foregone conclusion that Cao Mengde will move to Yanzhou, but Chenliu and Zhang Mengzhuo have been in business for many years. Whether it is strength or friendship, it is not easy for Cao Mengde to reach out. But in addition to his reputation, Zhang Mengzhuo is also accumulating family wealth.

He has some abilities, but the rest are mediocre. Facing Yuan Shu's army, he can only be beaten passively."

"But Yuan Shu should not be Cao Mengde's opponent."

"As long as Yuan Shao of Hebei can withdraw from the war with Gongsun Bogui and the Yellow Turban Army."

"It seems like you can see the shadow of Er Yuan everywhere in Guandong."

The situation in Guandong is basically relatively clear. Although the Central Plains is at war due to the disruption of the Yellow Turban Army, careful analysis reveals traces of the rivalry between the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Behind each of the two people are a large number of interest groups, and they have attracted countless allies. It can even be said that the two people are using the whole world as a chessboard, playing happily on their own.

At this time, Li Shushi waded into this troubled water?

That's what Dong Zhuo did, and after walking around Luoyang, he had to retreat to Xiliang and play with himself behind closed doors. Even if it weren't for the help of Li Shushi, the little butterfly, Dong Zhuo wouldn't have even done this when he evacuated from Luoyang.

There is no calmness in any plane.

So is Kanto really out of reach?

Not at all, after all, the two Yuans now only have a relatively stable "base area". Although the remaining large areas are shrouded by their influence, they may be eroded at any time, let alone

There are other princes in some areas, and even though he maintains a relatively close relationship with one of the two Yuans, his reading ability is still very strong.

This is just like the layout stage of Go. The number of chess pieces placed by both sides on the chessboard is still very limited. Although each chess piece can affect dozens of surrounding areas, after all, it is an illusory number or can be called

The sphere of influence, rather than the unshakable chess pieces and "living voids" that have been assigned to oneself.

In this situation, if you really encounter a bold chess player who puts chess pieces into your sphere of influence, but it is allowed by the rules, regardless of whether such an approach is beneficial or not, if you do not deal with it properly,

Naturally there will be some loss.

In other words, what Li Shushi or Bingzhou has to do is to continue to fish in troubled waters in this chaotic situation.

That's right, it's a continuation rather than a beginning. After all, when Dong Zhuo was confronting the Guandong princes, wasn't his act of annexing the state to take advantage of the chaos?

So to continue doing it is just to maintain the true character...

"Li Xue looked at the map in front of him with a very [beep~] look, not hiding his [beep~] heart at all."

Well, the one who can say such words in front of Li Shushi is naturally a certain mink loli who has always had a grudge against Li Shushi.

"Speaking of why you are here, as the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, aren't you afraid that something might happen to your subordinates if you are not here? Or maybe you have abandoned them?"

"Anyway, those people have surrendered. I don't have to do the rest of the adaptation work. No, it's better not to be there. Aren't you worried that it will cause complications?"

"Hey, will the days when my ears become purified come to an end so soon?"

"Hey! I heard it! I heard everything! I heard it word for word!"

"Ah, Tamago-chan went to the 'medical school'. If you're not tired, you should still be able to hear her lectures if you go now."

"Forget it, I'd better go to Sister Zhaoji's place. If I don't listen to her music, I don't know if I can sleep well next."

"Thank you for your hard work. You didn't get any shock."

"Fortunately, anyway, when I first traveled around the world with my father, I saw a lot of people and things. It's not the first time I saw war or anything like that. I just felt very uncomfortable because I gave some orders myself."

"I always feel that you don't seem to be as resistant as I imagined."

"Why, you are planning to let me do this kind of thing again, don't even think about it! Huh~ If this girl hadn't been deceived by you for a moment, I wouldn't have dressed up like that to show off and deceive you!"

Well, it seems that Diao Loli has really worked too hard this time. It seems that we should not let her do similar things again in a short period of time. However, the effect this time is so good, I always feel that it is a bit unreasonable not to use it more in the future.

What a waste of natural resources.

Of course, just think about this in your mind. If you said it back then, you might know whether this loli would get violent and hurt someone. At that time, it would not be possible to give Su Xiaololi as a pillow for a few days.

.

Yeah! I seemed to have accidentally said something that I shouldn’t have said!

"Ahem, let's continue the topic just now."

After sending away the unexpected mink loli, Li Shushi coughed slightly awkwardly and turned his attention back to the young man. However, judging from the teasing smile at the corner of his mouth, he could tell what he wanted to express.

it goes without saying.

In this regard, Li Shushi could only say that he would ignore it and stay calm.

Just turning your head and chasing the whistle to express your calmness seems strange no matter how you look at it.

And compared with the charming and handsome guy around you, Li Shushi, you look really inferior now.

Didn't you see that the little lolita who has been standing behind you has completely ignored you? Your presence in people's eyes is not as good as that handsome guy. It should be said that there is no cup without comparison.

"Okay, we just talked about how we should move with the times in this stage where the two Yuan's are fighting for supremacy and exchange for greater benefits with smaller losses. Speaking of which, I am not good at this aspect and cannot compete with Mr. Zhongde and Mr. Gongyu.

Compared with Mr. Wen He, he is far inferior to a good friend of mine. It is a pity that that good friend is now serving in another official position, otherwise he would be able to solve my lord's problems."

The young man rarely put away the evil smile at the corner of his mouth, and replaced it with a gentle smile, which seemed to be recalling some good memories from the past. It's just a pity that Li Shushi didn't have a camera in his hand, otherwise he would have received an unexpected fortune.

income.

Although it's probably wrong to do this and you'll probably end up with a bag in a corner at night.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. There is still time anyway. You can also express your personal opinions or feelings and use your accustomed judgment method."

Two metal cylinders were pulled out from under a thick stack of information. The paint seal at the junction of the cylinder cover and cylinder body had been damaged. Obviously, the contents of the cylinders had been taken out, but since they were

From the situation buried under the pile of paper, we can see what Li Shushi's attitude was towards the contents of the two cylinders.

"Do you want Yuan Benchu ​​or Yuan Gongli to choose one of the two? My lord, have you thought clearly about the pros and cons?"

The young man opposite Li Shushi knew exactly what was inside the cylinder, so based on what Li Shushi had said before, he could naturally guess what the other person was thinking, so he reminded him.

It can be felt from the flavor of his words that he does not seem to be very optimistic about Li Shushi's thoughts.

However, he did not directly deny Li Shushi's idea. Perhaps it was a means of self-protection as a counselor, or as he said just now, he was not good at this aspect, so he did not want to interfere with Li Shushi too much.

judgment.

In fact, Li Shushi did have his own concerns.

Let’s continue taking the previous example of Go.

In the layout stage of Go, fierce battles rarely occur, because the board is very empty at that time, and there are large tracts of open space that can be occupied. So the most appropriate choice is to control the largest territory with the fewest chess pieces or to obtain a sufficiently thick outer layer.

Position, how to choose depends entirely on the player's personal style and ideas.

However, when the layout is basically completed, the situation will develop in two different ways - one is naturally that one of the parties goes deep into the "enemy behind" and establishes a base behind the enemy to turn the enemy upside down while stabilizing its own development and eventually defeating the enemy.

The limitation is within a very small range. The other is like boiling a frog in warm water, using various means to oppress the enemy without fighting too much, thereby achieving the effect of "conquering the enemy without fighting".

Of course, the above two developments may be just general talk. In fact, they cannot be the same. Instead, there are often scenes where various ideas and methods are intertwined. You are among me and I am among you. This is how the game of Go changes.

Measured greatness.

The situation that Li Shushi and Bingzhou are facing now is precisely when this layout is over and the space on the chessboard has been roughly divided into their respective spheres of influence. If they want to continue to develop, they need to think about some specifics.

means.

For example, using huge external forces to oppress the enemy - but because of Li Shushi's initial political philosophy (we can call it that), Bingzhou's expansion was not very fast, and also because of Li Shushi's background, he was unable to attack almost anything beyond

Naturally, no influence could be exerted by powerful families outside the jurisdiction of Bingzhou, and they could not rely on their power.

If Li Shushi had a great god named "Emperor" to rely on because of Dong Zhuo's existence before, then with the death of the two forces of Xiliang and the courtiers, the prestige of the imperial court can be said to have collapsed like an avalanche.

In other words, Li Shushi basically has no external force to draw on, and what he wants to do depends entirely on his own strength.

This is the second method, to penetrate deeply into the enemy's sphere of influence and then find ways to survive.

This method is naturally the last resort in the art of war, because not only will it trigger a fierce war, but the probability of winning after a fierce battle is not 100%, and even if it is 100%, the losses suffered by oneself will not be 100%.

Small.

This is not a Go board with only two people playing. Even four people playing four [***] and six people playing checkers cannot describe the current chaotic situation. Therefore, this is destined to be a road of walking on thin ice.

If you are not careful, you will be benefited by the fisherman.

It was precisely because of such considerations that Li Shushi became interested in the olive branch offered by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Even if you can't form allies, if you can reduce the pressure in one direction, you can increase your room for maneuver.

This is Li Shushi’s true inner thoughts.

On this understanding, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others basically reached a consensus.

The real disagreement actually lies in which side's conditions should be accepted to be more beneficial to the present and future of the annexed state.

This is a decision that needs to be made with great caution.

"It would be great if I could have a proper opportunity to test it out and get first-hand information."

It can be said that the outcome of the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is very clear. Although Yuan Shao is now hampered by the Yellow Turban Army pouring into Jizhou, Gongsun Zan's situation is not optimistic either - Liu Bei has given up his position as the governor of Yuyang County.

, Xuande Gong, who really couldn't bear the Shura field sandwiched between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, took his cronies and troops south to Xuzhou. As the pastor of Xuzhou and controlled some counties around Xuzhou, Tao Qian could provide Liu Bei with enough skills.

The stage of talent.

Although Liu Bei did not choose himself, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were a little disappointed, but going south to Xuzhou was an acceptable result for both parties - even though Tao Qian also belonged to Yuan Shu's camp, if he could be twenty years younger, Yuan Shao would naturally not
