Gao Pian pondered, "Will Wang Jian choose the latter policy?"
Wang Zaifeng chuckled, full of confidence: "Why didn't he choose this way? For Wang Jian, which strategy to choose depends on the strength of the opponent he faces."
"Although Guanzhong is not the place where the Four Wars were fought, it has suffered enemies on several sides. The Uighurs in the west of the river and the Tubo in the west often cross the border to plunder. The Khitans in the north may invade south at any time and threaten Hebei. Guanzhong is even more incomparable with Jianghuai.”
"Since your Highness sits on the Jianghuai land, there is naturally half of the country, so you don't have to worry about being attacked on several sides, and the depth is vast, so there is enough room for maneuver."
"Li Maozhen fought for the Central Plains, and Wang Jian attacked from the center of Shu, but it was extremely convenient to attack Li Maozhen's vest."
"In this case, why didn't Wang Jian choose Li Maozhen as his opponent?"
Speaking of this, Wang Zaifeng laughed again, "For Wang Jian, if he can defeat Li Maozhen, seize Guanzhong, occupy Hebei and the Central Plains, and attack Jiangnan later, it will be strategically more strategic than attacking the Central Plains from the south of the Yangtze River." Advantage."
After listening to Wang Zaifeng's remarks, Gao Pian couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding: "Good advice, sir!"
What Jingxiang was talking about was Jingzhou and Xiangyang, which are neither in the hands of Wang Jian nor Gao Pian. There are five major princes in the world, and more than ten minor princes. The one who occupies Jingxiang is another minor prince.
Wang Zaifeng said leisurely: "Once we unite with Wang Jian, the army of Shuzhong will be able to drag Li Maozhen's energy in Hanzhong. What else will he use to compete with us for the Central Plains? At that time, His Highness will take the seven towns of the Central Plains and the land under King An's command. Generally simple!"
These words made Gao Pian very excited, he felt more enjoyable than drinking a jar of fine wine, and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, he stood up and waved his sleeves, high-spirited: "The world is gone without King An, who can stop me Gao Pian?! This great country and society will eventually fall into my hands!"
...
Two hours later, Gao Pian, Li Maozhen, and Wang Jian gathered together to discuss how to carve up the seven towns in the Central Plains.
Gao Pian first proposed the two towns he asked for: the territory of Wuning Jiedushi in Xuzhou and the Zhongwu Jiedushi in Xuzhou.
These two towns are adjacent to the Huaihe River. As long as they are obtained, Huainan soldiers and horses will not have to worry about entering the Central Plains, and they will be blocked by the Central Plains forces on the south bank of Huainan.
Li Maozhen naturally wanted the territory of the Heyang Army in Zhengzhou and the Xuanwu Army in Bianzhou. With these two towns, his soldiers and horses could go out of Tongguan and go straight to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and he could also respond to the Hezhong Army north of the Yellow River to attack the towns in Hebei. , to seize Li Ye's territory.
Only the defense envoy of Luoyang Dongdu, the Jiedu envoy of Yicheng in Huazhou, and the Jiedu envoy of Gunhai in Gunzhou were left to Wang Jian. These three towns are separated from each other, each on one side, no matter how Wang Jian chooses, they cannot be linked together.
Of course, Wang Jian was not happy about this.
So Wang Jian was the first to raise an objection: "I want Dongdu and Xuzhou towns!"
In this way, it is very convenient for his soldiers and horses to go out from Handong or go north after capturing Jingxiang.
Gao Pian was naturally the first to raise an objection, Xuzhou was his preferred territory.
At the end of the debate, Gao Pian said: "The king of Shu wants Xuzhou, and the lonely king is not unwilling to give it to him, as long as the king of Qi gives up Bianzhou to the lonely king."
Wang Jian looked at Li Maozhen.
Li Maozhen snorted Gao Pian coldly: "If you get the two towns of Xu and Bian, wouldn't you divide the Central Plains Slant Thorn into two parts, and you can choose to attack Pinglu or Tongguan freely? In your arms?"
Gao Pian said indifferently: "King Gu can abandon Xuzhou, but King Qi can't give up Bianzhou? If King Qi is so strong and refuses to give up half a step, how can we talk about this matter?"
Li Maozhen was furious: "Nonsense! Is this king refusing to give in an inch? If I give in, the whole Central Plains will be yours!"
Wang Jian wanted to get Xuzhou, but he was not happy when he heard the words, so he hurriedly helped Gao Pian: "Why did you give up the whole Central Plains? King Qi didn't take Bianzhou, he can still take Huazhou!"
Li Maozhen immediately glared at Wang Jian: "Huazhou is in the northeast of Bianzhou, do you want my two towns to be separated by Gao Pian?!"
Wang Jian knew he was in the wrong, but of course he couldn't be weak at this time, so he distinguished: "So what? At least King Qi still has Heyang in Zhengzhou, and his soldiers and horses can leave the pass and enter the Central Plains freely. Xuzhou, these two places are not connected with Shuzhong either!"
"Wang Jian, you bastard!" Li Maozhen slapped the table suddenly, "You want to kill me, that guy who is so cheap?!"
Li Maozhen couldn't help being angry.
Although he and Wang Jian were fighting for Hanzhong, they were only secretly dispatching scouts to deal with the Hanzhong Jiedu Envoy, and they hadn't made it clear yet. In addition, the two used to have a close friendship, and they could be regarded as brothers and sisters. At this time, Wang Jian was helping Gao Pian to speak, and he couldn't accept it emotionally for a while.
"How can this be cheap for King Wu? King Wu is willing to give up Xuzhou, why can't King Qi consider it for everyone?" Wang Jian, who usually looks kind and honest, is very righteous at this moment and refuses to give up an inch.
In fact, Wang Jian thought very clearly, carve up the seven towns in the Central Plains, anyone can take advantage of it, but Li Maozhen cannot be taken advantage of.
Only by suppressing Li Maozhen can he successfully occupy Hanzhong and seek more things.
Taking a step back, the one who can threaten him now is Li Maozhen. After all, if Gao Pian wants to attack Shuzhong, he can only come in from the Yangtze River. Once he locks the Yangtze River, the opponent will have nothing to do with him. Moreover, Wang Jian and Gao Pian are still separated by Jingxiang, and there is no direct conflict of interest, unlike Li Maozhen, who has always wanted to occupy Hanzhong and enter Shuzhong.
Li Maozhen was so angry by Wang Jian that she wished she could swallow him whole.
However, he was not a good person, he calmed down quickly, and secretly sent a voice transmission to Wang Jian.
They used to be comrades in the same robe, brothers on the battlefield, and they had an agreed secret method of sound transmission, so that they could not be noticed by others.
Li Maozhen said: "Why are you always running on me? What you should deal with is Gao Pian! If Gao Pian wants to enter the Central Plains, I must stop him. When we fight in the Central Plains, Huainan will be empty, and he will be powerless to follow. If you fight, won't you be able to go east along the river and occupy Jingxiang?"
"As long as you occupy Jingxiang, your territory will be able to connect Luoyang and Xuzhou. At that time, whether it is going north to the Central Plains or advancing to the south of the Yangtze River, won't it be easy? On the contrary, if I am destroyed by Gao Pian, let him occupy the Central Plains and attack Guanzhong can attack you several times, then what will you use to contend with him?"
Hearing Li Maozhen's words, Wang Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he fell into a moment of deep thought.
What Li Maozhen said was indeed correct.
Wang Jian was slightly moved.
The change in his expression failed to escape the eyes of Gao Pian and Wang Zaifeng.
Gao Pian secretly said "Oops", and the two birds sent voices in secret.
Time was running out, and Gao Pian had no time to think about it, so he hurriedly said: "The lonely king thinks carefully, most of the soldiers and horses of the king of Shu are in the land of two rivers, and it is inconvenient to communicate with the Central Plains, so more towns should be allocated. Isn't there seven in the Central Plains? Town? Now that King An is no longer in the mortal world, the town that was originally intended to be given to him naturally doesn’t need to be given to him, how about giving it to the King of Shu?”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gao Pian himself felt that this was really a good idea.
He looked at Wang Jian's persuasion: "In this way, the King of Shu has three towns in the Central Plains, and the strength is stronger, so he doesn't have to worry about being coveted by people with ulterior motives. If there is any situation, it is enough to support the soldiers and horses in the middle of Shu to help - even, With these three towns of soldiers and horses, it is enough for the king of Shu to expand the territory!"
In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanent source replacement App as soon as possible, huanyuanapp.org
As soon as this remark came out, both Li Maozhen and Wang Jian were taken aback, and the latter immediately beamed with joy.
Wang Jian looked at Wang Jian full of hope, and blurted out: "What King Wu said is true?"
Gao Pian stroked his beard, and smiled calmly and generously: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow, what the lonely king said is for the benefit of everyone, of course it is true."
Wang Jianxi couldn't help himself, he kept rubbing his hands, and his thoughts had already opened up.
Seeing Wang Jian's appearance, Li Maozhen knew that something was wrong, so she quickly sent him a voice transmission so that Gao Pian would not be able to provoke him.
It's a pity that Wang Jian didn't respond to Li Maozhen, and now he has begun to plan intensively.
If he could get the three towns in the Central Plains, there would be about 300,000 soldiers and horses, not much weaker than his current soldiers and horses in Sichuan. At that time, the soldiers and horses of the three towns will be in the east and attack Hanzhong from the west. He will send troops from the middle of Shu and attack Hanzhong from the west.
Even if Li Maozhen came to help, Wang Jian was not afraid.
Because his soldiers and horses in the Central Plains can intimidate the vicinity of Tongguan in advance, attract Li Maozhen's attention, and distract the opponent's energy!
Once he wins Hanzhong, the territory under his command-Shuzhong, Guanzhong, and Central Plains will be connected together, and it will be easy to advance to Guanzhong on several fronts
Even if Li Maozhen is defeated by Gao Pian in the Central Plains, it will take time. When Gao Pian enters Guanzhong, Wang Jian can also enter Guanzhong. At that time, he and Gao Pian will rely on their own abilities, and it is not certain who will be in the hands of Guanzhong!
Moreover, the distance from Huainan to Guanzhong is not as close as that of Shuzhong. At that time, Gao Pian's soldiers and horses were stretched too far, supplies were inconvenient, and the soldiers and horses were tired. Who could be his opponent
When he defeats Gao Pian's soldiers and horses according to the relevant information, he will be able to send troops to the Central Plains to capture Pinglu and the North, and then he will be able to cooperate with the soldiers and horses coming down the river to push Huainan from two directions and rule the world!
With such a blueprint in mind, how could Wang Jian listen to what Li Maozhen said
Wang Jian was not dazzled by the prospect in his heart, and asked Gao Pian cautiously: "If this king wants Luoyang, Xuzhou, Bianzhou and other towns, will King Wu also agree?"
Gao Pian saw that Wang Jian was about to make up his mind and fell to his side. How could he not strike while the iron was hot, and said: "Gu Wang only needs Xuzhou and Gunzhou, and the other five towns are left to Shu Wang and Qi Wang. segmentation."
Xuzhou and Gunzhou are both in the eastern part of the Central Plains, adjacent to the East China Sea, and are the channels for advancing Pinglu, but they have less impact on the situation in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Originally Gao Pian wanted to let Wang Jian take Luoyang and Zhengzhou Heyang, but now that the situation has changed, he can't stick to the old rules.
Hearing Gao Pian's words, Wang Jian knew that the other party really didn't have any wrong ideas!
Realizing this, Wang Jian's affection for Gao Pian increased greatly.
"Okay! This king wants Luoyang, Xuzhou, and Bianzhou towns!" Wang Jian felt that the pie had fallen on his head. Before that, he would never have imagined that he would be able to get so many benefits this time. .
Wang Jian looked at Li Maozhen, "King Qi, what do you think?"
Li Maozhen suppressed her anger: "Why don't you take Zhengzhou too?"
The remaining Zhengzhou Heyang Army and Huazhou Yicheng Army had a small territory and were not rich, and were divided at both ends by the Bianzhou Xuanwu Army. Li Maozhen won these two towns, especially Huazhou, which is really tasteless. The only redeeming feature is that there is a gate to the east of the Zhengzhou Heyang Army.
Wang Jian said with a smile: "It is indeed a little inappropriate to divide like this. In this way, the territory of the Xuanwu Army, I will give up Bianzhou, so that King Qi can be connected in one piece in the Central Plains. King Qi can divide a state into compensation for the king. .”
There are several states in one town, and although the Xuanwu Army governs the state in Bianzhou, it is not impossible to change.
After hearing this, Li Maozhen knew that Wang Jian had made up his mind, and he could no longer persuade Wang Jian to form an alliance with him.
The result of today's meeting of the three kings to carve up the seven towns in the Central Plains, with Wang Jian and Gao Pian already in collusion, Li Maozhen knew that there was no way to recover, so she could only hold her nose and admit it.
