So you have to have the courage. If you really don¡¯t have it, just don¡¯t say more. That¡¯s it. From Ma Chao's point of view, he was not looking down on them, but in fact, none of them did. However, as long as our own side occupies this place, they will defect to our own side; if the Yanzhou Army wants to occupy this place, they will defect to the Yanzhou Army; if the Jiangdong Army occupies it, they will defect to the Jiangdong Army, and so on. This is the mobility of Han officials. Not only the Liangzhou Army has it, but the Yanzhou Army also has it. The Jiangdong Army also has it. As long as the Han Dynasty still exists, there will never be such a product of the officials of the Han Dynasty. It is just a matter of people's hearts. I don't know how many so-called officials of the Han Dynasty finally joined the three princes. There is nothing we can do. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the big man is completely gone and is about to be finished, but it just depends on when. After all, the world will not be the world of the Han Dynasty, but only the world of the three princes. But I don¡¯t know which of them will be unified in the end. But if it is not the Jiangdong Army, it will only be one of the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. ah. In fact, those so-called Han officials all have their own ideas, and that's right. At least they are called Han officials. With these four words, it can be said that not only their princes have to give them salaries, but also the Han court has to give them. Of course, the latter is actually not much, and more, basically It was still the Yanzhou Army, which was brought out by Cao Cao. But this is a higher salary than just being an official of a prince, but there are not many rewards, not at all. So they naturally think that if they become a Han official, they must have a little more salary. Of course, most of the rewards and stuff are not for them, but that's definitely not the most important thing. Because if you are from one of the princes, then you will definitely betray your master if you seek refuge with other princes, but this is not the case for them. It is not the case for Han officials who take refuge with several princes. They are not betrayers and will not be looked down upon by Ma Chao, Cao Cao and Sun Ce. On the contrary, the three princes have to rely on them. That is true. Indeed, it is not that they want to win over the three princes, which is really unnecessary, but the other way around. Ma Chao, Cao Cao and Sun Ce, the Liangzhou Army, Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army need them more, then That's right. After all, when they got the territory, it was simply not enough to rely on their immediate people. They had to rely on those Han officials anyway. Otherwise, there would really be no one to govern the counties, that is. So it's not that their Han officials need the Liangzhou Army, the Yanzhou Army, and the Jiangdong Army, but that the latter need the former more, that's for sure. Just relying on those people directly connected to them is really not enough. There are military generals, but not enough scribes. Managing counties is not about leading troops to fight, so generals are basically useless. They are not needed to govern the counties, but they are needed to defend the city. This is not the case for scribes. They can only handle government affairs. Of course, if you are a top strategist, let alone defending the city, it is not impossible to lead troops and serve as a coach. That is indeed good. After all, apart from being poor at martial arts, top strategists are actually better than generals in many other aspects. That's true. After all, top strategists not only say they know a lot, but their skills are also not low. Except for his martial arts skills, he is really not bad in other aspects. However, some martial arts skills are also good, such as Li Hui, Man Chong, and Yu Fan. Their martial arts skills are definitely second-rate, but they are not top-notch counselors. If they were really top counselors, that would be even more extraordinary, but other people might not be able to compare. This top strategist also has second-rate martial arts skills, which is really extraordinary. Even among the top counselors, the one with the highest martial arts skills among them should be Xu Shu. He is definitely more than a second-rate ranger. Therefore, although his immediate martial arts skills are not second-rate, they are almost there. After that came Sima Yi, who was not much worse than Xu Shu, that¡¯s right. His martial arts skills are definitely not low, not as good as second-rate generals, but definitely higher than ordinary third-rate generals. It is absolutely correct to say that he is a superior third-rate general. As for Xu Shu, he is basically at the peak of the third rate, that's it. Therefore, among the counselors, the top counselors do not have very high martial arts skills, and at most they are the third-rate peak. And those with second-rate martial arts skills are not top-notch counselors, so there is nothing they can do about it. Of course, like some generals, they are also a bit strategic, but it is true that it is impossible to reach the top strategist. It is true that there are not enough figures in this period. If we really talk about it further, there are indeed some in the Three Kingdoms, such as Deng Ai of Cao Wei and Jiang Wei of Shu Han. Among the military generals, these two are, simply speaking, absolute generals. And among counselors, he is definitely the top counselor, absolutely true. Just the two of them, it can be said that they are not only first-class generals, but also top counselors, nothing else, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. Really speaking, Lu Meng is the one close to the two of them, at least he really said? He is not a first-rate general, but he is definitely a second-rate peak general. As for strategy, even if he is not a top strategist, he is actually not far behind. This is absolutely correct. But no, historically speaking, the four great governors in Jiangdong, whether it was Zhou Yu, Lu Su, or Lu Xun, all three of them were top strategists, and there is no mistake in that. Lu Meng is not much worse than them. Although he is not a first-rate general, but if you say that he is at the level of a top counselor, that is actually correct. At least he is not worse than a top counselor, that is. But Deng Ai and Jiang Wei not only have the strategies of top counselors, but also have the martial arts of first-class generals, and their ability is that of first-class generals, so they are stronger than Lu Meng. Indeed, historically speaking, both Deng Ai and Jiang Wei were more capable than L¨¹ Meng. However, L¨¹ Meng is indeed remembered by history, because not everyone can do this after being separated for three days. When I arrived, he, Lu Meng, was no longer the Wu Xia A Meng, and that was true at all. It is absolutely extraordinary that a person can go from being a military general to becoming one who is no worse than a top strategist. It does not mean that everyone can do it. If there were not so many people in history, how many would be like Lu Meng? So this is also true, you can¡¯t accept it. People have the ability. Maybe Lu Meng was not as good as Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, but he did surpass more than n people during the Three Kingdoms period. That's absolutely true. Many people could not compare with him. So, there really aren¡¯t many people who are as capable as him in both civil and military affairs. There really aren't many, that is. So, almost all of them who are counselors have no martial arts skills. Isn't that normal? Although there are some generals who have some strategy, there are not many of them, really. This is it. As for Lu Meng, he is definitely second to none. Zhou Yu is not as good as him in martial arts, let alone Lu Su and Lu Xun. What surpasses the former is his ability to command the navy. Lu Meng is not as good as Zhou Gongjin. But his land warfare command ability is also better than that of Zhou Yu, who is not good at that. Lu Su is quite good at land warfare, but not naval warfare. Not to mention Lu Xun, he was just a scholar, and his martial arts skills were not much better than Lu Su's. Therefore, among the four major governors in Jiangdong, L¨¹ Meng has the highest martial arts, second-rate and superior. This is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary generals. There are many people who are not as good as him. That's right. Really, apart from those first-rate generals, there are only second-rate peak martial arts, which can surpass others, and nothing else can, indeed. Lu Meng's martial arts is not weak. Judging from the novel, it is really extraordinary that he can use a shield to separate the fight between Ling Tong and Gan Ning. After all, the martial arts of the two are better than the other. It is true. But he also died at the age of forty-two or thirteen. The four governors of Jiangdong, except for Lu Xun, did not live long. ¡°That¡¯s right, only Lu Xun is okay. Zhou Yu was thirty-five and six, Lu Su was forty-five and six, Lu Meng was forty-two and three, and Lu Xun was sixty-one and two. In that era, he was definitely considered to have lived a long life, that's right. Being over sixty is unusual in the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were also over sixty, and Sun Quan was even over seventy. It is indeed not easy. Therefore, it is said that Lu Meng was capable, but it was a pity that he died after just over forty. Really, but Zhou Yu regrets it even more, let alone Sun Ce. Among the three great people of the Three Kingdoms who died young, there were Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Isn¡¯t it a pity? If they are still alive, Jiangdong Army can only be said to be stronger, really. It's a pity that Sun Ce was only in his twenties and died before he was thirty. Even at that time, he definitely died at a young age, really. Thirty-year-old is called an old man, and he is still in his thirties, but before that, he was still considered young, that¡¯s right. Sun Ce definitely died young. The key is that he was capable. If you are someone who has no ability, even if you die young, it doesn't matter. It won't affect anything, not much. But as soon as Sun Ce died, Jiangdong passed into the hands of Sun Quan. He was considered capable, but compared with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he could maintain success, but in terms of progress, Sun Quan was not as good as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. This is not bad. Indeed, as he said, Cao Cao "held the emperor to order the princes" and destroyed this and that. It can be said that most of the princes in the world were destroyed by his own troops. And Liu Bei is also great, he is capable, but the key is that he started from a commoner and finally became an emperor. That is not ordinary. Sun Quan is thick and dark, but to be honest, his great achievements were inherited from his husband and elder brother. He did not say anything about it, but in terms of progress, he is indeed not as good as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. That is, the place in Jiaozhou, not to mention Sun Quan's Jiangdong Army, even Cao Cao and Liu Bei, if one of them wants to be close to it, and the other wants it very much, then they can take it, anyone can take it, Sun Quan is no better than Cao Cao Nothing more than Liu Bei, really. That was the Battle of Jingzhou. Although it was true that Sun Quan contributed a lot at that time, that time it was considered that they and Cao Jun united together.To deal with Liu Da'er, it is not just Sun Quan's Jiangdong side, but this one too. If there is no attack and defense by Cao Cao's northern army against Guan Yu's group, then they can only rely on Sun Quan's side. To be honest, they can only take down one county and two counties at most. After all, Guan Yu can't be dealt with by their side alone, but It's different with the addition of Cao Jun from the north, that is. Against one side, no matter how defeated Guan Yu is, he will not say that he was captured alive, but against two sides, he will not be able to do it. Originally, Liu Bei's troops were not many in Jingzhou, and Jiangdong was no less than them. There was also Cao's army in the north, which they could not compare to. The two armies combined are much more powerful than Liu Da'er's troops in Jingzhou. That's really good. Therefore, it is impossible for them not to suffer losses. Just for any one party, Liu Bei and the others will lose their territory. It is just a matter of how much, let alone two parties. If Guan Yu were strong enough, he wouldn't have been captured alive and eventually killed, that's right. In the final analysis, it is still lack of strength. Other reasons are not as fundamental as this, and that is correct. Liu Bei lost so much territory and even Guan Yu was killed. It was all about strength. Compared with this, other things are definitely not as important as this. Strength is the first. If you have strength, you really won't be like that. It's not others who attack you, but you who attack others. No matter how many people they have, if you are twice as many as them, then no strategy will probably work. You have to rely on people at critical times, but that's not it. Conspiracies and tricks are really of little use in the face of absolute strength. Yes, after all, there are very few such strategies in history. So when the strength reaches a certain level, it can no longer be solved by calculation. How many people can you kill with one strategy? several thousand? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? There are hundreds of thousands of people, but if I have hundreds of thousands of horses, I have nothing to fear, really. If you can kill hundreds of thousands with one strategy, then you are really powerful. Of course, the premise is that you also need a lot of troops, at least several hundred thousand, but it should be about the same, that is. If there are only a few people, how can we deal with it? Indeed. Therefore, Liu Bei's troops in Jingzhou were not as large as Cao's army plus Jiangdong's army. Their defeat was an inevitable result. However, if Guan Yu retreats early, he will definitely not be captured alive. However, his arrogance has many aspects, which means that he still has a few men, so he will not give up so easily. On the Jiangdong side, from Sun Quan to the soldiers below, Guan Yu looked down on a few people. It was true that Cao Cao's side was better, but he also looked down on a few.
