Speaking of Sun Jian, he was extremely brave in battle.
However, when it came to the overall situation, it was really a mess.
A Changsha prefect had crossed Jingzhou and arrived at Nanyang to attack Dong. In the end, Nanyang had yet to warm up when he sent troops to Yuzhou.
They had won countless battles along the way.
However, the territory seemed to be like quantum mechanics.
Changsha, the mountain is high and the road is far. I can't go back.
Nanyang was occupied by Yuan Shu.
Not to mention Jingzhou, Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone and forcefully took Jingzhou.
In other words, after fighting a lot of battles, the territory actually decreased instead of increasing.
Now that Baili Ming had reminded him, he immediately came to his senses.
No wonder he felt that he was getting worse and worse!
So it was because he had no foundation!
At that moment, he couldn't care less about other questions. He bowed to Baili Ming and said,"
"Today, after hearing your words, I was enlightened!”
"Sir, please tell me in detail. Where in this world can we use as the foundation of our army?”
"My lord, there's no need to be so polite!"
Seeing this, Baili Ming hurriedly helped Sun Jian up and said with a smile,
"There's no need to worry about this matter."
"Now that we are at the end of the crusade against Dong, our path ahead is not clear.”
"Therefore, this foundation is our next target!”
"I'm the military counselor, so I've naturally considered this matter long ago!”
"However, before we talk about this matter, I would like to ask, what was the lord's original plan?”
Hearing Baili Ming's plan, Sun Jian was instantly at ease. When he heard Baili Ming ask about his future plans, he smiled bitterly and said,
"My original intention for this expedition was to kill the thief, so I didn't think too much about it.”
"Today, when Advisor Jun mentioned it, I also had a headache.”
"Although I am the prefect of Changsha, now that Liu Biao is heading south, he sent Zhang Xian to Changsha!”
"Although Nanyang is rich, it has been taken by Yuan Shu.”
"I think Yuan Shu has recommended me as the governor of Yuzhou. Why don't we go to Yuzhou?”
As he spoke, he looked at Baili Ming, indicating whether Yuzhou could be his foundation.
However, Baili Ming shook his head and laughed.
"My lord, you can go anywhere in the world, but our army can't go to Yuzhou!”
"Oh?"
Sun Jian was shocked.
"What do you mean?"
"Because this Yuzhou is the Yuan family's old nest!”
Baili Ming smiled at Sun Jian and said,"
"The four generations of the Yuan family have lived in Runan for generations.”
"Moreover, the lord has welcomed Yuan Shu this time, so he can be considered as Yuan Shu's subordinate.”
"Right now, our army has already fallen out with Yuan Shu. If we go to Yuzhou, we will inevitably be controlled by him.”
"And this Yuan Shu is such a petty person. How could he let our army be well in the open or in the dark?”
"My lord, why do you think Yuan Shu is so kind as to recommend you as the governor of Yuzhou?”
"That's because he saw that the lord is brave and wants to use the lord as a spear!”
"If our army wants to establish a foundation, we must first sever our relationship with Yuan Shu. Therefore, we cannot go to Yuzhou!”
When Sun Jian heard this, he frowned and said angrily,"
"No wonder. I say, where did Yuan Shu get such good intentions from?”
"So it was because of such malice!"
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely deal with this thief!”
After saying that, he muttered,
"Since we can't go to Yuzhou and Changsha is remote, why don't we return to Jiangdong?”
"I started my army from River East and thought that this place should be a fertile land that could be used as a foundation!”
Hearing Sun Jian talk about River East, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"Although Jiangdong can be taken, it is a remote area. Although there is the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, it is more than enough to defend but not enough to advance!”
"Although this place can be used as a foundation, it's still lacking a bit!”
Seeing that even his hometown had been rejected, Sun Jian frowned and said,
"Military counselor, is River East also not desirable?”
"Then where should our army be based?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"Huainan!"
Huainan?
Sun Jian frowned when he heard this.
The so-called Huainan referred to Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and a small part of Runan.
It was only a river away from River East!
He frowned and said,
"Why is Military Advisor doing this?"
"It's easy for our army to take the River East, but it's difficult to take the River South. After all, it's just Yangzhou, so why should we take the River South first?”
"Why don't we take Jiangdong first? After Jiangdong is settled, we can gather our troops to take Huainan!”
"It's different!"
Seeing Sun Jian's confusion, Baili Ming shook his head and smiled."
"Although my lord's words are reasonable, the foundation of our army should be based on the general trend of the world. It cannot be limited to the gains and losses of a city or a place!”
"The general trend of the world?"
Sun Jian was shocked when he heard this. This was his blind spot. These four words were easy to say, but they were really heavy!
He quickly cupped his hands and said,
"Please explain in detail, Military Advisor!"
Hearing this, Baili Ming did not decline. He downed the wine in his cup and said with the strength of the wine,"
"The so-called great power of the world is only the Great Han Empire's thirteen prefectures!”
"Once I understand the matters of these thirteen prefectures, I can take the world into my heart!”
"Dong Zhuo is currently in a state of chaos. The vassals are rising up from the west to the east. Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and Si Li have been occupied by Dong Zhuo.”
"South to Yizhou and Jingzhou, Liu Yan and Liu Biao are Han clan relatives. On the surface, they follow the Han clan to defend their territory, but in reality, they are independent.”
"Scholar Xie of Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains and lives in a corner.”
"Outside these six prefectures is where the world will change in the future!”
At this point, he looked at Sun Jian and said,
"Therefore, when our army wants to obtain a foundation, we must first consider whether the land can be used as a foundation, and second, we must consider what kind of stance our army should take when the world changes!”
Without waiting for Sun Jian to speak, he continued,
"Although the vassals of the east of the country are attacking Dong, after this battle, the vassals will rise up together. The situation of the world will change greatly again in three to five years!”
"With Ding Yuan's death, Bing Prefecture, Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou will be taken advantage of by the other races.”
"Liu Yu of Youzhou has a benevolent personality and has always been on bad terms with Gongsun Zan. If the two sides fight, Youzhou will definitely be taken by Gongsun Zan.”
"Han Fu of Jizhou is a weak person. With Yuan Shao in the Bohai Sea, he will definitely take him down.”
"The Yellow Turban of Qingzhou has yet to be pacified, and half of it is in Hebei. How can Yuan Shao not take it?”
"As for the Central Plains, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, is an incompetent person. Tao Qian of Xuzhou is old and weak. Yuzhou is the foundation of Yuan Shu.”
"At most, five years, at least three years. Cao Cao and Yuan Shu will definitely fight for the Central Plains to become the hegemon!”
"If nothing unexpected happens, this is the situation our army will be facing!”
"Although Jiangdong is good, it is easy to take but difficult to govern. With the many gentry clans and the Shan Yue's attacks, it only takes two to three years to take it but four to five years to govern.”
"If our army takes Jiangdong first, then Huainan will definitely be taken advantage of by the vassals.”
"At that time, although our army has the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, the upper reaches are controlled by Jingzhou. If we go north, we will have to seize Huainan. As long as the enemy holds the strategic point, we will be trapped in Jiangnan. Although we can be at peace in a corner, we will have no strength to advance.”
"On the contrary, if we use Huainan as our base, our army can slowly attack Jiangdong in the south, attack the Central Plains in the north, and enter Jingzhou from Jiangxia in the west.”
"In addition, Huainan is rich. After our army takes the rear, we can watch from the sidelines. When the world moves, we can either take the Central Plains in the north or enter Jingzhou in the west.”
Baili Ming grinned at Sun Jian.
"This is why we have to take Huainan first!”
However, just as he finished speaking, Sun Jian grabbed his hand and said,"
"Mister is really a strange person in the world!"
Sun Jian was so excited that his entire body was trembling.
It wasn't because he had set a direction, but because of this analysis!
The situation of the world was originally chaotic.
It was actually so clear from Baili Ming's mouth!
Now, the feudal vassals hadn't even finished their crusade against Dong, and they were already explaining the situation in the world for the next three to five years!
This was exactly what he needed!
A guiding light that could stop him from running around aimlessly!
Looking at Baili Ming's bright smile, Sun Jian didn't know what to say!
How can there be such an idle person in the world?
