The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Don’t judge a hero by his success or failure.

In history, Zhou Yu lamented that since he was born in Yu, how could he be born in Liang?

However, Zhou Yu was able to assist Sun Ce and even made Cao Cao feel threatened.

This in itself is a reflection of Zhou Yu's talent.

It's just that history often only sees the excellence of the winners and one-sidedly magnifies the shortcomings of the losers.’

……

Zhou Yu and Ma Chao, in terms of martial arts, Zhou Yu is naturally inferior to Ma Chao.

However, in terms of strategy, ten Ma Chao are no match for Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is good at guessing people's hearts, what is true and what is false, and he can make Ma Chao unpredictable with a little trick.

Moreover, Zhou Yu is also cautious enough. He will not be easily taken advantage of by Zhou Cheng like Yuan Shu.

In particular, Zhou Cheng easily captured Xuzhou without even a single blow and gained a huge advantage.

The first batch of grain and grass has been shipped to Sun Ce's camp.

Although the actual quantity of this batch of grain and grass was not large, the morale of Sergeant Wu gradually stabilized after seeing the grain trucks entering the military camp.

Eat food as a soldier.

You can risk your life, but you can't go hungry.

Sun Jing looked at the grain cart and said with emotion:"With Gong Jin here, everything will be safe."

Sun Ce smiled slightly, he had absolute trust in Zhou Yu, and he believed that Zhou Yu would not fail.

However, as the uncle of Sun Ce and others, Sun Jing still had to tell Sun Yi:"You need to be more careful and don't be reckless. If there is a next time, you need to think carefully and plan the deal."

Although Sun Yi was impatient in his heart, he verbally said, Still coping.

Sun Jing couldn't help but shake her head when she saw Sun Yi's appearance.

Among his brother's four sons, Sun Ce and Sun Yi are most like Sun Jian in terms of bravery.

However, as the lord, Sun Ce was still a little reckless.

Sun Yi would be even more reckless.

In comparison, Sun Quan is much more stable.

In fact, this is not bad now.

Sun Ce was responsible for the campaign, and Sun Quan was responsible for managing the rear, allowing the Sun family to continue to grow.

"Sun Tzu said: The method of using troops includes loose ground, light ground, contested ground, friendly ground, thoroughfare ground, heavy ground, ruined ground, encircled ground, and dead ground."

"If the princes fight for their own land, it is called scattered land; if the land that enters is not deep, it is light land; if I can benefit and Peter can also gain, it is contested land; if I can go and he can come, it is called friendly land. The land of the princes belongs to the three categories. The land that comes first and conquers all the people in the world is called the thoroughfare land; the land that is deep into the people and has many cities on its back is called the important land; the land that travels through mountains, forests, dangerous obstacles, swamps, and all the difficult roads is called the ruins. The land; the place where we enter is narrow and the way we return is roundabout, and the few who can attack our army are called encircled areas; if we fight quickly, we will survive; if we do not fight quickly, we will die, this is the place of death."

"Therefore, if the ground is scattered, there will be no fighting; if the ground is light, there will be no stopping; if the ground is contested, there will be no attack; if the ground is intertwined, there will be no end; if the ground is narrow, it will be joined; if the ground is heavy, it will be plundered; if the ground is ruined, it will be marched; if the ground is encircled, there will be plotting; if the ground is dead, then there will be war."

Zhen Liaocheng, Da Sima Mansion.

Zhou Cheng continued to read the military books, and Jia Xu and others were accompanying him.

Daily martial arts performances, reading, debates, and handling government affairs have become a habit of Zhou Cheng and others.

Including Jia Xu, Including Li Ru, Guo Jia, Tian Chou and others, they would get up early every day and come to Da Sima's Mansion to have breakfast with Zhou Cheng, then read books, deal with government affairs, discuss the general trend of the world, etc.

This is a very good Atmosphere.

The interaction between the master and his ministers, the interaction between counselors and counselors.

Although the world is big, there is probably only one place with such a good atmosphere in Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng put down the book of war at this time and murmured Said:"When the princes fight against their own land, it is called scattered land."

The so-called scattered areas are places close to home.

Sun Tzu's understanding is that if the army fights close to home, it may escape home and the soldiers will not fight desperately.

Jia Xu knows his students very well, Then he asked:"Master, does he have a clever plan?"

Zhou Cheng said:"It's not a surprise, but I want to move the troops and horses from Xuzhou and Yanzhou to Beihai and Tianshan and other places."

The best way to solve border issues is to relocate the population, integrate ethnic groups, promote Chineseization, etc.

However, the biggest problem now is that the Central Plains does not have that large population, and large-scale immigration is impossible.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng has He realized his own plan, which was to transfer troops from the south to the north.

Recruit troops from Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and send the recruited soldiers to the border to guard the border.

Of course, this was not Zhou Cheng’s invention.

It’s just that Zhou Cheng wanted to change the army. system and reformed the garrison.

At this time, Guo Jia and others also put down the slips in their hands and listened quietly.

Zhou Cheng said:"Except for the expeditionary army, the garrison is divided into three classes. The border guard is First class, priority for starting a family, preferential treatment in hometown."

Xu Shu heard this and immediately picked up a pen to record it.

Zhou Cheng continued:"After two years of guarding the border, they can be rewarded with fields, cattle and sheep, etc., or they can take their wives and children to the border. If they have no merit, they may return to their hometown. , after returning to his hometown, he transferred to public service and no longer had military status."_
