Chapter 326 Zhou Tai offers advice and Sun Quan panics

Zhou Tai is a native of Nanyang County. Although he is not from a famous family, he is not an ignorant person because of his wealth.

Even in order to increase his knowledge, he has traveled to various states and counties many times before.

This kind of experience not only enriches Zhou Tai's own talents, but also increases his vision and ambition. He is very different from ordinary colleagues who are willing to do nothing.

If other colleagues can become Lord Baili at his age, that would be enough to honor their ancestors.

But Zhoutai wants more.

But because Zhou Tai was not born into a wealthy family, and he has no network resources, it is extremely difficult for him to take another step forward.

He lacks an opportunity.

Even the reason why he became the champion Hou Guoguo is already regarded as the opportunity given to him by Mi Yang, and the promotion of him is beyond a certain amount of common sense.

If there is no Mi Yang, Zhou Tai is just an unknown person among hundreds of officials in Yiyang County.

Of course, Zhou Tai didn't know the real reason why Mi Yang promoted him. He thought that the reason why Mi Yang promoted him was because he saw his past political achievements in the list submitted before.

But even if he didn't know this, Mi Yang's move made Zhou Tai realize that Mi Yang didn't contradict his previous image in the center.

As long as he can make political achievements, then Mi Yang will really spare no effort to promote him.

Just as Mi Yang's prestige spread throughout the world, those who are Mi Yang's minions, Ding Feng, Deng Ai, Zhang Yi, etc., are gradually becoming known to the world.

None of them came from a better family than he, and none of them was even older than him.

But they can gradually emerge on the big stage of the world, isn't it because of Mi Yang's promotion?

The power of role models is infinite, and because of those role models, when Zhou Tai knew that Mi Yang was now the prefect of Yiyang County, his mind became quite active.

And when Mi Yang appointed him as the Prime Minister of the Champion Hou State, Zhou Tai's already active mind was even more irresistible.

The time has come when Taide in other states meets the Lord of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that he has met the Ming Lord, Zhou Tai knows that he has to make some political achievements as soon as possible, so that Mi Yang can continue to focus on him.

This is also the reason why Zhou Tai resolutely did it despite knowing that he couldn't do it.

Otherwise, once Mi Yang leaves Jingzhou and returns to Yibei, Zhoutai will regret for life in the future.

Seeing Zhoutai cast his hopeful eyes on himself, and listening to Zhoutai's words, Mi Yang understood Zhoutai's thoughts after thinking about it.

The reason why Mi Yang didn't summon Zhoutai immediately before was to examine Zhoutai's ability in detail.

Judging from Zhoutai's current actions, it can be seen that he is a person who is good at seizing opportunities and dares to take risks.

This style of work is also in line with the evaluation in history books that he is "good at military tactics" and "good at making meritorious deeds".

Facing Zhou Tai's straightforward desire to work on him, Mi Yang certainly would not refuse.

Talent is always better.

With this in mind, Mi Yang motioned to the soldiers behind Zhoutai to untie the rope for him.

Then he threw the bamboo slips in his hand to sue Zhou Tai for treason into the brazier in front of him.

Mi Yang's behavior means that he will no longer pursue Zhoutai's crime of killing senior officials.

And when Zhoutai was untied from the rope, he still didn't understand Mi Yang's thoughts.

So when his body regained his freedom, he immediately bowed to Mi Yang: "Tai worships the king."

Hearing Zhou Tai calling himself Junhou, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.

Mi Yang is now a county lord, so of course he is qualified to be called a lord by his subordinates.

It's just that the title Junhou is different from other titles. Compared with other titles, this title has stronger personal attributes.

Now Zhoutai calls himself Junhou, and the meaning is obvious.

Zhou Tai's address as a prince undoubtedly indirectly drew in some of the relationship between him and Mi Yang.

Mi Yang looked at Zhoutai, who was a dozen steps away, and asked Zhoutai to step forward.

Seeing Mi Yang's beckoning, Zhou Tai took a few steps forward knowingly.

It's just that he is a new minister after all, and he has some calculations in his heart, so of course he would not rashly get too close to Mi Yang, and the guards around Mi Yang would not allow him to do so.

After Zhou Tai got closer to him, Mi Yang asked Zhou Tai, "Wen Da has lived in Jingbei for a long time, so he must be familiar with the situation in Jingbei."

"If I want to use troops to conquer the city in the future, what should I do first?"

Hearing Mi Yang's question, Zhou Tai knew that it was Mi Yang who had come to test him, so he immediately cheered up, thought carefully and replied:

"If the army moves without success, the prestige will be lost on the outside, and the wealth will be exhausted inside, so it must be used after all.

Jingzhou is located in the land of four wars in the world, with dense water networks and vast hectares of fertile land. If you don't first prepare for the long-term war through the rivers and gather food, even if you accumulate troops in the new field, you will not have the power to seize Wanwan.

Today Jiangling has Ju and Zhang Rivers, which irrigate thousands of fertile fields.Around Anlu, Pochi Woyan.

If the princes and marquises combine land and water to farm, use real military capital, then lead troops to Wancheng, occupy Runan, gather southern troops, and float the water to transport the valley.

The thieves know the prestige of being good at fighting, and the officers and soldiers have the power of enduring, so those who resist heaven's punishment are discouraged, and those who turn to kings are strengthened.

Then the princes and marquises will lead the elite to attack Wancheng internally, don't send cavalry generals to separate the north road, then the south of Wancheng will be pulled out, and the county of Yuzhou will not defend it.

In this way, the friendship between Wan and Luo is broken, and Wan can be taken away when the friendship is broken.Otherwise, the benefits of sending out troops may not be certain. "

After listening to Zhou Tai's advice, a little surprise appeared on Mi Yang's face.

After the Battle of Xiangfan, although many ministers knew that Liu Bei had no intention of capturing Wancheng for the time being, Wancheng must be captured in the future.

So recently, many ministers have discussed with each other in private about how the Han army will capture Wancheng in the future.

Although Mi Yang is in Xinye, thanks to Mi Yang's military exploits and his popularity, many ministers in Xiangyang will send letters privately to ask Mi Yang's views on this matter.

Through this, Mi Yang also learned about several strategies currently circulating in Xiangyang City to capture Wancheng in the future.

For example, Liu Bei's "first benevolent cavalry benefit" has become the strategy with the most support among them.

What Mi Yang didn't expect was that in Zhoutai's advice, although he also admitted that the Han army must first have the advantage of cavalry before it has the capital to enter Wancheng.

But compared to this, Zhoutai places more emphasis on the sustainability of the Han army's operations in Japan.

In order to ensure the sustainability of the Han army's operations, it is necessary to make good use of Jingzhou's geographical advantages.

It has to be said that Zhoutai's suggestion is very reasonable.

The battle of Wancheng must be a tough and protracted battle in the future.

After Zhou Tai finished speaking, he quietly looked at Mi Yang's face.

When he saw that Mi Yang was silent for a while after listening to his advice, he felt a little uneasy.

Although Zhoutai believes that his suggestion is in line with the current situation, he has not yet made any meritorious service, so he is still a little unconfident in himself.

But Zhou Tai didn't feel uneasy for long, and a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.

Mi Yang's smile means that he agrees with Zhou Tai's views, and it also makes Zhou Tai's anxiety disappear in an instant.

Mi Yang looked at Zhoutai with satisfied eyes, there are not many records about Zhoutai in history, although he and Deng Ai are from the same county and are about the same age.

But compared to Deng Ai's famous reputation in history, Zhoutai seems very ordinary.

It's just that this does not mean that Zhou Tai's personal talents are not good. On the contrary, from his position in history books, we can see that Zhou Tai was an extremely important official in the late Cao Wei Dynasty.

The prefect of Xincheng, the governor of Yanzhou, the governor of Yuzhou, and the military governors in the south of the Yangtze River until the last holiday.

If Zhou Tai hadn't had extraordinary talents, how could he have held these positions.

Especially during the period when Zhoutai was finally in charge of the military forces in the south of the Yangtze River, the famous general Zhoutai faced during that time was Lu Kang.

The reason why Zhoutai did not have a bright experience during his tenure may be because Zhoutai is a general who is good at preventing problems before they happen.

And such a general is exactly what Mi Yang lacks at present.

Because of such a general, Mi Yang will not have to worry about the safety of the rear when he goes out to fight in the future.

Such a talent, Mi Yang has no reason not to make good use of it.

After thinking about it, Mi Yang said to Zhou Tai: "I will write a letter to His Majesty to let Wenda move to Nanzheng Order. I hope Wenda will not disappoint my expectations."

Mi Yang's arrangement made Zhou Taixi smile.

At present, everyone in Jingzhou already knows that Mi Yang will return to Yibei Dudu District soon, and if Yibei Dudu District is compared to a small country, then Nanzheng is equivalent to the capital of this small country.

As such a county magistrate, not to mention that the authority is much higher than that of ordinary county magistrates.

This also means that he has initially entered the small political group headed by Mi Yang.

How could this not make Zhoutai happy.

Zhou Tai quickly bowed to Mi Yang and said, "Thank you, Junhou."

After Zhou Tai thanked Mi Yang, Mi Yang saw that Zhou Tai had been imprisoned for several days and his whole body was quite messy, so he asked Zhou Tai to go down and wash up first.

After Zhoutai resigned, Mi Yang thought about the strategy that Caizhoutai offered him just now, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Zhoutai's strategy is feasible to attack Wancheng, but if it is modified and used to attack Jiangdong in the future, it seems to be good.

Thinking of this, Mi Yang slightly closed his eyes, and a city named Yong'an appeared in his mind.

Before his death, his teacher Fazheng told him to guard against Jiangdong for the rest of his life.

He never forgot this sentence.

Sun Quan, who wanted to come to Jiangdong, had already received the news of the Xiangfan battle.

How would he react?

Just as Mi Yang expected, a few days after Guan Yu was buried, Sun Quan in Yong'an also received the news very quickly.

As for why Sun Quan is in Yong'an?

That's because when Liu Bei decided to fight Xiangfan, he issued an edict as the emperor of Han to let Sun Quan lead the army to attack Hefei, the important town of Huainan in Cao Wei.

Faced with Liu Bei's edict, Sun Quan didn't want to implement it at all at first.

Although the current Jiangdong has regained some of his vitality after nearly two years of cultivation, he has not yet had the strength to launch an offensive with a large army.

And even though he is called the Taiwei of the Great Han, accepting this title is only an expedient measure for him.

How could he really obey Liu Bei's edict and waste Jiangdong's national power to rashly attack Hefei?

It's just that although Sun Quan had no plans to send troops to Huainan, he still sent a lot of troops to Yong'an City because he had other thoughts in his heart.

His idea is very simple, he wants to sit on the mountain and watch two tigers fight.

Sun Quan believes that no matter which side wins this battle, it is bound to be a miserable victory.

And it would be even better for him if it ended in a lose-lose situation.

This means that he may be able to help Jiangdong get some good development opportunities after this war.

Even in Sun Quan's heart, he thought that Liu Bei's defeat in this battle was more likely.

After all, judging from the strength on the surface, Wei Jun is stronger in this battle, and his leading general is Zhang Liao, who deeply fears Sun Quan.

In Sun Quan's view, Zhang Liao is a general who is absolutely capable of competing with Guan Yu.

This is also the consensus of Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers.

It is precisely because of this consensus that Sun Quan made the move to increase troops in Yong'an instead of increasing troops in Wancheng.

However, when the results of the Battle of Xiangfan spread to Jianye City, it undoubtedly caused an uproar in Jianye City.

The [-] Wei army was almost completely annihilated, and Zhang Liao, the leader of the Wei army who could stop Jiangdong's children from crying, was beheaded by Guan Yu in front of the battle.

No one in Jiangdong could have predicted such a brilliant victory.

Although Liu Bei deliberately kept it secret, Sun Quan didn't know how much the Han army suffered in this battle.

But with such brilliant victories, any kind of battle damage can be put aside.

This is a victory that can shake the hearts of the world and change the situation in the world.

Since then, the great man established by Liu Bei will no longer be underestimated by anyone.

But after Sun Quan heard the news, his dissatisfaction and disdain for Liu Bei's restoration of the Han Dynasty before proclaiming himself emperor disappeared in an instant.

The dissatisfaction and disdain he had for Liu Bei before was only temporarily suppressed by him after seeing Cao Ren's head.

Sun Quan felt intimidated by Liu Bei for the first time.

Just as he was afraid of Cao Cao back then.

Under such fear, Sun Quan dared not neglect, he immediately withdrew from Jianye City to Yong'an City.

It's just that compared to the previous ulterior motives, he came to Yong'an City in person this time because he wanted to explain to Liu Bei from a close distance why he didn't send troops to Hefei before.

He is the Great Han Taiwei.

It's normal to have this behavior.

But before Sun Quan had finished writing the memorandum, the news of Guan Yu's death spread to Yong'an City.

At the same time as the news of Guan Yu's death reached Yong'an, there was also the eulogy written by Mi Yang himself.

So before Sun Quan felt happy because of Guan Yu's death, he fell into a panic again.

Mi Yang's eulogy is essentially to promote the martial arts of the Han army, in order to shock everyone in the world.

It's just that the same deterrent effect falls on different people, and it will have a different result.

Compared to Cao Pi's apprehension, Sun Quan felt terrified.

No matter whether Sun Quan looked left or right, he felt that between the lines of Mi Yang's words, there was a hint of threat.

Although Sun Quan now knows that the next governor of Jingzhou is not Mi Yang.

But the problem is that Mi Yang didn't rely on the power of the governor of Jingzhou to beat him to the ground and escape!
