"Kong Jian, who do you think will win between Liu Shijun and Yuan Benchu?"
I wanted to go over and take a look, but when Chen Mu heard the conversation between them, he suddenly stopped again and stood about a few feet away from everyone, standing quietly.
The questioner was Yao Bo, who was playing chess with Kong Jian. He was playing with a white chess piece in his hand while asking.
It is normal for students from the School of Political Science to ask about government affairs and discuss the general trend of the world.
However, Kong Jian was thinking about the next move. He knew that Yao Bo was interfering with his thinking, so he replied without thinking: "We are just students. It is not appropriate for us to interfere in this important national matter."
"Kong Jian, you are wrong. We are students of the School of Political Science, and we should discuss more important matters. Didn't Master Chen also say that? Those who are in politics are responsible for the affairs of the world. If it involves people's livelihood, governance, and military affairs, we will
It cannot be taken lightly.”
Huang Qi on the side disagreed. They didn't call each other cousins because they didn't have cousins.
The oldest person here, Huang Qi, is only 16 years old, Zhuge Liang, Yao Bo, and Kong Jian are both 15 years old. Except for a few cases, such as Sun Ce, who picked up his Chinese characters at the age of 17, most people don't pick up their Chinese characters until they are twenty years old or older.
"Um."
Kong Jian finally thought of a clever move. After putting down the black piece, he casually asked: "Who do you think will win?"
Yao Bo chuckled: "I'm asking about you."
"Liu Shijun."
Kong Jian thought for a while and said: "Liu sent his troops to the whole world and occupied the south of the river. He also used the name of the emperor to punish the thieves. If he has the right time, the right place and the right people, he will definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao."
"But Yuan Shao is powerful, Liu Shijun has fewer troops, and he has to rely on Gongsun Shijun."
Yao Bo shook his head: "If I were Yuan Benchu and tried to alienate Shijun Liu and Shijun Gongsun and greatly reduce their power, I would definitely defeat them one by one!"
"You mean Liu Shijun will lose?"
Huang Qi asked back.
"of course not."
Yao Bo made a move and said: "I just think that Liu Shijun is well-prepared and can continue to expand the army and increase its strength. Why must he only maintain less than 100,000 troops and horses? Such a loss in military strength
Isn’t it at an absolute disadvantage?”
Kong Jian held the black man in his hand and did not follow immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "This is Liu Shijun's cleverness. He used Gongsun Shijun to join forces with him to contain Yuan Shao and use the power of the two states to consume him."
One state. Even if Jizhou produces countless grains and an army of 200,000, it will always be exhausted, and then the battle will be decided!"
"But Yuan Shao is not a fool. What if he alienates Gongsun Shijun? When the time comes, Gongsun Shijun will retreat, and with the strength of his family, I am afraid that he will not be able to fight against Yuan Shao."
Yao Bo said: "I still think Liu Shijun should vigorously expand his troops. Although Qingzhou is rich in wealth for the people, its military strength is seriously insufficient. No matter how rich it is, once it is breached, it will be in danger of overwhelming the whole army. We should use the power of Hezhou
, Cooperating with Gongsun Shijun to attack the north and the south, and pacifying Jizhou as soon as possible is the right way."
"I don't think it's appropriate."
Huang Qi said: "Now that Qingzhou has been stable for several years, many people have become accustomed to stability. If there is a war, I am afraid that it will not arouse the emotions of the people. Although Liu Shijun has a small number of troops, he can choose veterans who have followed him in the war for many years. Each one has experience.
Rich is an elite man. The two have been trained for a long time and have a tacit understanding. It is not good to recruit troops rashly."
"Well, that seems to be right."
Yao Bo thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. It seems that Qingzhou's senior officials have not recruited many troops in the past two years, perhaps because of this consideration.
Everyone was talking to each other, and Chen Mu nodded secretly while listening.
The teachers at the School of Political Science are quite reliable. In addition to him, there are Jushou, Tian Feng, Xun Yu, Hua Xin, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Wang Lang, Shiyi, Sun Shao, Cui Yan, Guoyuan, Gongsun Fang, Zuo Later, people like Liu Qian and Zhuge Xuan would come to class occasionally.
These people are basically local officials in Qingzhou. For example, Cui Yan, Guoyuan, Gongsun Fang and others are among the first batch of graduates. They have been governing local areas for many years and have rich experience. They come back to teach and teach students in a very lively and pragmatic way.
Some of them lecture on government affairs, some on local people's livelihood, and some, like Chen Mu, occasionally talk about national affairs and future changes during lectures.
Although the conversation was not in-depth, it is still difficult for these teenagers to understand these deep-seated issues.
Therefore, it is already very good for people like Kong Jian, Yao Bo, and Huang Qi to say such things.
At least they touched on some points and their speeches were very constructive.
certainly.
For them to have such knowledge, apart from studying with Chen Mu since childhood, the most important thing is that they come from a big family.
For example, the Kong Jian family is the Kong family of Lu, Huang Qi is the Huang family of Jiangxia, Yao Bo is the Yao family of Wuxing, and needless to say, Zhuge Liang is all from a famous family.
Therefore, compared with many students born in farm families, these children of big families have a natural advantage.
At this moment, Huang Qi, who had been participating in the topic, suddenly turned to look at Zhuge Liang and said, "Ah Liang, I saw you were silent just now. Why didn't you say anything?"
"Yes, Ah Liang, don't always wait for others to ask you before you speak. Let's talk about Liu Shijun and Yuan Shao."
Yao Bo also said something.
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said with a smile: "I think Liu Shijun will win."
"oh?"
Everyone was puzzled and asked: "Why are you so sure?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Because Master Chen is here."
"Hush!"
The crowd booed.
Huang Qi smiled and said: "You are too cunning to say this. Let's talk about something pragmatic. Why is Liu Shijun bound to win? There must be a reason."
Zhuge Liang spread his hands: "Didn't I already say the reason? Master Chen must have a way to win."
"What's the way to win?"
"I have no idea."
"You are so sure, but you also say you don't know?"
"Master Chen's plan is as treacherous as the clouds in the sky, how can I know about it?"
"Hush!"
Everyone booed again. There was really nothing they could do against Chen Mu's biggest fan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Actually, if you are thinking about who can win between Liu Shijun and Yuan Shao, you might as well think about how Yuan Shao can remain undefeated."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhuge Liang is indeed much better than these people. If the students in the Political Academy are only talented as county magistrates, then people like Yao Bo, Huang Qi, Kong Jian, Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian are just like county magistrates.
Talent.
And Zhuge Liang's talent is already a great talent in governing the country. Based on people like Yao Bo, Huang Qi, Kong Jian, etc., he can see higher and farther, and he has learned to think about problems from the enemy's standpoint.
This is amazing enough for a fifteen-year-old boy.
Many people are afraid that he did not receive the teachings of Sima Hui, Pang Degong and others in Jingzhou, and thus became less powerful.
But the question is, is Chen Mu weaker than these people?
When it comes to strategy, insight, and wisdom, Sima Hui Pang Degong is far worse than Chen Mu in some aspects.
In addition, Zhuge Liang himself is a genius, and his future achievements will only be higher than those in history!
"What method can Yuan Shao use to remain undefeated?"
After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Yao Bo, Huang Qi, Kong Jian and others suddenly fell into deep thought.
As a member of the Kong family, Kong Jian was deeply influenced by the idea of the interest system. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "If I were Yuan Shao, I would definitely depose the emperor of Jizhou!"
"oh?"
Huang Qi and Yao Bo asked curiously: "Why?"
Kong Jian smiled slightly: "Think about it, why is the emperor of Jizhou? He is a false emperor and is unpopular. Liu Shijun used this as a reason to attack. If Yuan Shao deposed the emperor, respected the emperor of Luoyang as the supreme emperor, and was willing to return to his roots, he would
In order to avoid the loss of lives, Liu Shijun will definitely not want to attack him again due to his benevolence and righteousness, so Gongsun Shijun will not attack him again, and the alliance will be easily disintegrated by then."
"When Liu Shijun and Gongsun Shijun retreated, the pressure on Jizhou dropped sharply. With the foundation of Jizhou, they will rest and recuperate for two more years. They are strong and have sufficient troops and food. Then they will go north with a thunderous force to attack Gongsun Shijun first. Gongsun Shijun will have troops and horses.
Far inferior to Yuan Shao, he will definitely be unable to defeat him. After pacifying the rear, and then moving south to attack him, it can be said that Ming Cao will win!"
Depose the emperor of Jizhou and respect the emperor of Luoyang?
Huang Qi and Yao Bo looked at each other and suddenly felt creepy.
Because this strategy is very feasible, why does Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan have to fight Yuan Shao now?
The biggest reason was that there was a false emperor in Jizhou, which touched the interests of Emperor Liu Yu of Luoyang.
There is no day in the sky, let alone three emperors in the world now?
Therefore, Jizhou and Yizhou are the targets that Luoyang Orthodoxy must attack.
Just like in history, when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, everyone immediately rebelled against his relatives and was attacked from all sides.
It's just that Yizhou is too far away and beyond reach, so the largest firepower output point in the world is currently in Jizhou, and the pressure from all around is squeezing Yuan Shao.
If Yuan Shao had been smarter, learned to bow his head, depose the Emperor of Jizhou, then shift all the blame to Wang Fen, and respect Liu Yu as the emperor.
Liu Yu's character is very caring for the people and advocates governing the country with benevolence and righteousness. In order to avoid war and the loss of life, there is a high probability that he will agree to Yuan Shao and agree to Yuan Shao's request to submit to the imperial court.
At that time, given Liu Bei's character of always respecting imperial edicts, he would inevitably withdraw his troops. Once he retreated, Gongsun Zan would be unable to support himself, so he would also withdraw his troops.
In this way, Qingzhou can gain a precious breathing opportunity and use the power of the two states to consume Jizhou's strategy, which can easily disintegrate.
Jizhou itself has a large population, a lot of arable land, and produces a lot of grain every year. As long as it is cultivated for a few years, it is not difficult to defeat Gongsun Zan and occupy Youzhou in a short time based on Jizhou's foundation.
After all, the land of Youzhou was a bitter cold land in the Han Dynasty, with a small population and little cultivated land. In a head-on confrontation, Gongsun Zan was definitely not Yuan Shao's opponent.
Once Gongsun Zan is defeated and there are no worries, Yuan Shao can concentrate on dealing with Liu Bei.
By that time, the world will be really in danger.
Thinking of this, Yao Bo immediately stood up, stopped playing chess, and exclaimed: "You must tell Master Chen about this immediately and ask him to be more careful."
"Hahahahahaha!"
At this moment, Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed loudly, and there was a hint of joking in his hearty smile.
Everyone was puzzled, and Huang Qi asked: "Why is A Liang laughing?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I am laughing. If Yuan Benzhu really deposes the emperor as Kong Jian said, then Liu Shijun will definitely win. Why can't we laugh at such a happy event?"
"What?"
Everyone showed surprised expressions.
Kong Jian was dissatisfied and said: "Ah Liang, don't talk nonsense. Once Yuan Shao deposes the emperor, Liu Shijun and Gongsun Shijun will have no reason to attack, and the emperor will pardon him. After two years of cultivation, how can he fight against Jizhou?"
"
Zhuge Liang shook his head, looked at them, and said word by word: "The act of deposing the emperor is a way to die! It's just a reason, you won't believe it if I tell you."
"Then you should tell me about it."
Several people made noises one after another.
At this moment, Chen Mu on the side finally couldn't help his excitement and laughed: "Hahahahaha!"
"Master Chen!"
Everyone turned around and realized that Chen Mu had been standing behind them. They hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Chen Mu ignored them and walked straight to Zhuge Liang. He watched Zhuge Liang bend down and salute him, and nodded appreciatively: "A Liang, you are very good."
As he said that, he raised his hand and knocked on his forehead three times, then turned around and left with a big laugh.
Boom, boom, boom!
Hearing the crisp sound on his forehead, Zhuge Liang was a little confused for a moment.
Others looked at this scene with some confusion.
Since Chen Mu praised Zhuge Liang very well and seemed to appreciate his insights, why did he hit him three times?
What is the meaning of these three times?
For a moment, everyone was puzzled and looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
Only Zhuge Liang's eyes, from puzzlement at the beginning, gradually seemed to gain some understanding, and finally, their eyes became brighter.
