"Brother Ziyu, you…?"
Looking at Zhang Mu's serious expression, Guo Jia's expression turned serious as he had a guess.
"Brother Fengxiao, it's exactly what you're thinking!”
Zhang Mu took a deep breath and said seriously,""Now, my ambition is to conquer the world."
The word "world" caused Guo Jia to withdraw his cynical smile.
"Why did you change your mind?"
Guo Jia asked in a deep voice.
After interacting with Zhang Mu for this period of time, he felt that Zhang Mu's literary talent wasn't bad, and he was able to speak well. He would definitely become a great Confucian scholar in a peaceful and prosperous world.
He was quite good at internal affairs. Although he held the position of county captain, the county magistrate of Feng County was from the Zhang family. Zhang Mu was the master of Feng County, so he was able to govern Feng County with ease.
He was also good at managing the army. In two months, he had recruited tens of thousands of strong men from Pei Country and combined them with some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had surrendered. He had created a 10,000-strong army and 3,000 elite Black Armored Guards.
These Black Armor Guards were far from being a real elite troop, but under the leadership of the Xu brothers, they could easily fight against ten Yellow Turban soldiers.
Other than that, Zhang Mu was extremely knowledgeable and had a deep grasp of the situation.
The only thing he wasn't good at was perhaps military strategy and commanding troops to fight. The former required him to read more military books and have his own talent, while the latter required him to experience the training of war.
Guo Jia's evaluation of Zhang Mu was that he was at least a talent of a county. With a little training, he would have the talent to govern a province.
It was precisely because of this affirmation that he was willing to become close friends with Zhang Mu.
In the past two months, Zhang Mu had always shown the attitude of seeking a wise master to rely on. He believed that he had the insight to judge people and was definitely not wrong. Why did he suddenly change his mind now?
"To be honest, Brother Fengxiao, I have this idea because of you, Liu Pi, and Gong Du!”
Zhang Mu looked as if he was afraid that he had already seen through Liu Pi and Gong Du's intentions to besiege Qiao County. He was just testing them.
Why fight for hegemony?
Of course, it was because he had two golden fingers.
However, Liu Pi and Gong Du were a good excuse.
"Brother Fengxiao, this is my thought after careful consideration.”
Zhang Mu took out a high-definition map of the late Han Dynasty that was custom-made in modern times and began to draw seriously.
"Now, heroes have risen in the world."
"Yuan Shao occupied the Bohai Sea. He was the leader of the eighteen feudal vassals and had many civil officials and good generals under him. He also secretly allied with Qu Yi and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. Han Fu is lenient on the outside but cautious on the inside. He is also a disciple of the Yuan family. I think it won't be long before he gives up Jizhou.”
"Within Youzhou, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and White Horse General Gongsun Zan have different political views. There will definitely be disputes. At that time, Yuan Shao will use some tricks and there will definitely be civil strife.”
"There are many mountain bandits in Bing Province.”
"There are countless Yellow Turban soldiers in Qingzhou.”
"Yi Prefecture's Liu Yan and Jing Prefecture's Liu Biao are both people who are guarding their own territory. They have many aristocratic families under their command and many obstacles.”
" Although Western Liang and Si Li are under the control of Dong Zhuo's Western Liang cavalry, everyone knows that he has lost his ambition. Chang 'an City has countless loyal officials of the Han Dynasty, Longxi has generals such as Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the Qiang people are also in turmoil.”
"Within Yangzhou, the Yue are rampaging and the waterways are crisscrossing. They are only the enemies of the city.”
"Within Yanzhou, Cao Mengde has occupied East County and could send troops at any time.”
"In Xu Prefecture, Envoy Tao is old. His two sons are mediocre and will definitely be stolen in the future.”
"In the Great Han Dynasty, every province is not peaceful.”
"I'm in Yuzhou, a place that all militarists must fight for. I can enter Yanzhou and Qingzhou in the north, Xuzhou in the east, Jing and Yang in the south, and Si Li in the west. Why don't I completely occupy it? When the time comes, I can retreat and join a vassal.”
"Brother Fengxiao, haven't you heard of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?”
Do kings and generals have descendants?
Zhang Mu's dark eyes were extremely bright. At this moment, he did not hide the ambition in his heart at all.
His plan could be said to be an enlarged version of Liu Pi and Gong Du. The latter two planned to use Qiao County to establish their might. At that time, they would slowly occupy Runan County and find an opportunity to join a feudal lord in the future.
And he planned to occupy Yuzhou. In the future, if he used a state to submit to the dukes, he would be valued even more.
If the time was right, it was not impossible to attack the world and ascend to the throne.
As for his views on the world, that was the advantage of being a person of the later generations. Of course, he had to show it in front of Guo Jia, because after he had the idea of fighting for hegemony, Guo Jia was no longer just a friend he wanted to ally with in the future, but a peerless strategist he wanted to take under his command.
In today's world, not only do the monarch choose his subjects, but the subjects also choose the monarch.
He had to do his best to show off his ability to convince Guo Jia.
As for whether Guo Jia would betray him.
Just as he said, the world was in chaos and the princes were rising up. As long as he didn't want to die like Yuan Shu in the future and become an emperor, nothing would happen to him if he wanted to rule the world.
Even if Guo Jia went out to talk, no one would care.
Moreover, Guo Jia was not Xun Yu, so he was not so loyal to the Han Dynasty.
"Good, good Ning Youhu!"
Hearing Zhang Mu's last sentence, Guo Jia's stern face suddenly loosened. Perhaps Zhang Mu's analysis coincided with his thoughts, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Mu a few times and smiled,"Brother Ziyu, you have great ambition."
"Then do you have a plan?"
Guo Jia asked with a burning gaze.
Zhang Mu understood that this was a test.
"Yes!" Zhang Mu nodded solemnly.
Ever since he had transmigrated, he had read a lot of history books and novels of the same genre. He had even browsed the forums and Tieba. Based on the current situation, he still had some ideas.
"Yuzhou is now ownerless. I want to take it. At that time, I will use the merit of pacifying the Yellow Turban bandits to ask the Imperial Court to reward Yuzhou as a shepherd to share Your Majesty's worries.”
Zhang Mu looked as if victory was in his grasp.
It was no different from a fool's dream to obtain Yuzhou Mu with the merit of pacifying Runan's Yellow Turban bandits.
However, the Imperial Court that Zhang Mu mentioned was the key.
The imperial court was not the Liu family's imperial court, but the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo. By sharing His Majesty's burden, he meant sharing Dong Zhuo's burden.
Dong Zhuo had been holding back his anger when the 18 vassals attacked him. He couldn't wait for the world to fall into chaos.
Zhang Mu wanted to befriend Dong Zhuo so that he could give him the position of Yuzhou's herdsman.
Getting rid of the Yellow Turban bandits was just a reason.
At that time, they would definitely need to make a deal.
"Join hands with Dong Zhuo huh…"
Sweeping his gaze across the map on the table, Guo Jia smiled noncommittally and said,"Then this oriole plan has to be changed.”
"How?" Zhang Mu asked anxiously.
"Consecutive stratagem!"
Guo Jia's eyes flashed with sharpness as he spat out these words.
"Watch the fire from the other side, turn the tables!"
