After sending Er Kuai away, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I recall that when I was in charge of Jingnan in the past, with Zhuge Liang, Shi Tao and others, the government orders were clear. However, as the land under my command gradually expanded, after taking into account the interests of all parties, the people of Pangshan also felt quite constrained every time they implemented the government orders.
??In the final analysis, Pangshan people are just time travellers, but not gods. The interests of the family, the interests of foreign races, the interests of the people, and even the interests of the civil servants and military generals all need to be reconciled.
When Zhuge Liang was around, Pang Shanmin could relax and leave these complicated matters to Kong Ming, but now Kong Ming is the envoy and goes to Jiangdong. With only Pang Shanmin and Jiang Wan, they are faced with the burden of a large family that cannot be defeated before sending troops. It's a bit lonely.
It is not a fault to be content with being ordinary, and Pang Shanmin did not want to get angry with the noble family because their opinions were contrary to their own ideas. However, Pang Shanmin knew that once Jiangdong responded to Kong Ming's request and launched a large-scale military attack, if Jing Xiang did not take action, The relationship between the two families will fall to the freezing point.
This joint attack on the Central Plains was originally a matter of Pangshan people inviting Jiangdong to raise troops. If Jingxiang does not fight by then, wouldn't it dig a big hole for Jiangdong?
After thinking for a long time, Pang Shanmin was full of slander in his heart. The person who secretly said that he was the master seemed to be glamorous, but the hard work and hard work was far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
The handwritten letter sent to Jingxiang was like a stone sinking into the sea without stirring up a single wave. Such a situation made Cao Cao wary.
Especially because of Jing Xiang¡¯s detailed advice, Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong and visited Sun Quan. After Cao Cao was shocked, he secretly thought that this time he contacted Jing Xiang, something had happened.
Summon a group of civil and military officials into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cao Cao looked around at the ministers and sighed softly: "When Zhuge Liang entered Jiangdong, could it be that he wanted to join forces with Sun Quan and attack the Central Plains together?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia felt a chill in his heart. He then thought of the letter Cao Cao sent to Jing Xiang before and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, the mountain people did not reply to the letter?"
Cao Cao nodded with a gloomy face and said: "Had I known this, Cao would have sent a letter to Jiangdong. Let's clear up the past grievances with Sun Quan and attack Jingxiang together!"
Everyone in the hall understood Cao Cao's desire for allies. With the three pillars standing, no princes were willing to face the situation of one versus two. Seeing Cao Cao's regretful look, Guo Jia secretly thought in his heart: This time the Central Plains will lose all the rice Zhuge Liang is going to Jiangdong. The two families had a relationship in the past, and it was natural for them to collude with each other.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia looked solemn and said to Cao Cao: "The Prime Minister has ordered his troops to cross the Yellow River early! And send more reinforcements in the direction of Xudu, Wancheng, Luoyang, and Hefei!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he sighed and said: "What Fengxiao said is very true, but it's just Jingxiang. There are many places in the east of the Yangtze River that border with Cao's rule. If troops and horses are stationed everywhere, our Central Plains will have millions of soldiers, and it will be difficult to defend it." Royal!"
Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded and blamed himself for giving Cao Cao such an unrealistic idea in his haste.
It¡¯s just that if you don¡¯t keep it. Once the pass is breached by two princes, armies and horses from all walks of life will drive in. Many states and counties under Cao Cao's rule will be involved in the war, and it will be extremely difficult to rescue them.
Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment. Although the Huns had repeatedly won great victories in Wuhuan in the past two years, all the generals in Cao camp knew that Jingxiang and Jiangdong were not as stupid as the foreigners in the north. .
Three years ago, Zhou Yu used 50,000 troops and horses to fight in several counties under Cao Cao's rule. Lu Xun and Pang Tong were guarding Chang'an and Runan. In the past three years, all the generals in Cao Cao's camp knew that these two areas were stable. If you attack a rock easily, you will be asking for trouble.
Although all the generals in Cao's camp are not afraid of fighting, if they fight against two princes at the same time, the chance of winning is very slim. Such a war is useless.
For a moment, all the generals in the hall frowned and thought. When Cao Cao saw this, he even regretted that he had acted too hastily before. If the people of Pangshan were so easily deceived, would they now dominate Jingxiang and eye the Central Plains?
"What Cao Cao didn't know was that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite"
After a while, Guo Jia was the first to come to his senses, his eyes regained their former sharp look, and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, why not attack Lujiang first and seize the initiative!"
When Guo Jia said something, everyone in the hall was shocked. If the Jingxiang and Jiangdong families were to unite, and the strength of the Central Plains would give top priority, Guo Jia did the opposite and wanted to attack Jiangdong first. By then, once the people of Pangshan were among the If they interfere and quickly connect with Jiangdong, Xudu, Wancheng, and even Yanzhou may all be involved in the war.
The hesitation of everyone in the hall did not affect Guo Jia at all. Facing the looks cast by everyone, Guo Jia spoke eloquently: "Now that Zhuge Liang has joined forces with Jiangdong, we don't know that the two parties between Jingxiang and Jiangdong will reach an agreement." What kind of deal is just an alliance, it will have a huge impact on the two families in the future, and it is difficult to achieve it overnight. If the prime minister takes the lead, such an unreasonable move will frighten Jiangdong, and Zhuge Liang will probablyUndecided, he reconsidered the possibility of joining forces with the Prime Minister. If he quickly occupied the Lujiang River, there would be no more land east of the river in the north. It would be more than enough to defend the east of the river with his huge fleet on the river. However, if he used force on land, it would be of little effect. Jing Xiang would then When it comes to choosing allies, it¡¯s better not to choose a Jiangdong who won¡¯t play any role in land operations, right? "
When Cao Cao heard this, he said in high spirits: "What do you think of the filial piety plan?"
"It's a good plan. It's just a county in Lujiang. Jiangdong has been in charge for a long time. It's not easy to occupy this place quickly as Xiao Xiao said!" Jia Xu sighed after hearing this: "And we just mobilized the troops and horses to use those two How can an informant who lives in the Central Plains not see where the Prime Minister wants to use his troops?"
When Cao Cao heard Jia Xu's words, he also felt quite troubled. Guo Jia saw this and smiled and said: "We can let Wenyuan attack first! At the same time, send Cheng Yu and the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou who have banned the two to rush to Hefei! In this way, Even if we can't take Lujiang County in a moment, we can still frighten Jiangdong. Once Jingxiang hesitates, we will have time to send envoys to discuss with Jingxiang the carving up of Jiangdong!"
"But Pang Shanmin and Sun Quan are related by marriage after all. Don't you know that they are not close to each other when they are filial piety?" After Cao Cao said this, Guo Jialang laughed and said: "This is a matter of carving up the realm of the princes. Pang Shanmin and Sun Quan are not blood relatives. As long as the prime minister The price given is appropriate. Due to the nature of mountain people and merchants, they must weigh the pros and cons! In Guo's opinion, even if all the interests of Jiangdong are handed over to Jing Xiang, what's the harm?"
"Then what's the point of us sending troops?" Xiahou Dun heard this and said with a strange look on his face: "Making wedding clothes for Jing Xiang is not what I, the Central Plains army, should do?"
"General Yuan Rang, the heroes are scouring the sand. If Jiangdong is wiped out, there are only two princes in the world, and the prime minister only faces the Jingxiang family, the chance of winning the Nine Provinces will be 50%. As long as Jiangdong is missing, he can influence the situation of the world. Variables, the prime minister only needs to defeat the Pangshan people to unify the world!" After Guo Jia said this, he chuckled and said: "Leave this difficult problem to Jing Xiang to consider. Guo also wants to see if the mountain people can benefit from Jiangdong's huge profits. Suppress greed and resist temptation!"
