The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 187: Build Walls High, Accumulate Grain

If you want to choose a piece of land as your base camp, Jizhou is naturally much better than Xuzhou, a place surrounded by enemies.

Jizhou's unique geographical advantages are incomparable to Xuzhou.

To the west is the Taihang Mountains. There are only three narrow mountain roads to go from Bingzhou to Jizhou. You only need to send some soldiers and horses to guard the pass, and no one can open it.

As for Youzhou in the north, if you want to go south, there are only two or three roads, so there is nothing to worry about.

Qingzhou in the east has been plagued by the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party, and will be too busy to take care of itself in the next few years.

If you choose Jizhou to start, in the next long period of time, you only need to put Yanzhou in the south to calmly develop the military, government and people's livelihood.

Furthermore, Liu Bei already occupied the entire Zhongshan, and it would be easier to expand his sphere of influence to the entire Jizhou.

So anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jizhou is more suitable than Xuzhou.

This is also the reason why Jia Xu directly asked why he did not choose Jizhou as soon as he opened his mouth.

But how could Lin Chao not know that there was only one reason why he chose Xuzhou.

That is, at most next year, Yuan Shao will come to Jizhou to serve as the prefect of Bohai Sea, and he will definitely try to annex the entire Jizhou.

The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, whether in court or in the private sector, have abundant resources.If you choose Jizhou, it means that you have to face the aristocratic family headed by Yuan Shao first.

This was the result that Lin Chao didn't want to see, because even if he could defeat Yuan Shao, it would be a waste of development time, and in the end he could only end up with a loss for both sides.

Just for this reason, he can't tell anyone.

Therefore, Lin Chao could only evade and said: "Although Jizhou is good, but there are many aristocratic families and factions, it is not the place where great achievements can be made."

Hearing this, Jia Xu was surprised and said, "Don't you think Zichu likes to appoint aristocratic families?"

When he saw that Lin Chao came to Yingchuan to marry Xun Cai, he thought that he wanted to use the marriage to win over Yingchuan family members so that he could be used by Liu Bei.Never expected that Lin Chao would say such a thing.

Furthermore, without the great help of the aristocratic family, whether it is governing the state or raising troops, it will be difficult.

In a word, if you want to govern a place well, you must rely on the aristocratic family.

Lin Chao shook his head and said, "Wen He's words are wrong. The aristocratic family can't use them, but they can't use them all."

"Zi Chu means to use one group to suppress another group?"

What a shrewd person Jia Xu is, he immediately understood what Lin Chao meant.

"That's right." Lin Chao nodded and said with a smile, "If Duke Xuande's subordinates are all descendants of aristocratic families, then in Xuzhou is Duke Xuande the master, or is it up to those aristocratic families?"

This kind of operation of pulling a group and fighting a group is a necessary means before the general situation is not achieved.

Jia Xu sighed: "It seems that Zichu's plan is very big!"

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Li Ru who was far away in Dong Zhuo's army.

Li Wenyou, maybe you should really listen to Lin Zichu's words, differentiation and balance is the long-term solution.

Hearing Jia Xu's sigh, Lin Chao smiled and said, "Whether a certain project is big or not, Wenhe will know in the future. Now let's talk about how to develop relying on Xuzhou."

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled, and pointed at a place on the map.

"Someone thinks that Yangzhou is not enough to worry about. The only ones to worry about are Yuzhou and Yanzhou. If you take this place, you can block Yanzhou from the west, and you can take Qingzhou to the north."

Lin Chao looked down, and it turned out that the place Jia Xu was pointing at was Taishan County!

Jia Xu's idea coincided with Lin Chao's.

Taishan County is a special place, it is the intersection of Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

The most important thing is that if troops are sent south from Mount Tai, the Langya area will have no danger to defend, and within half a month they will be able to approach the hinterland of Xuzhou.So whether you want to defend Xuzhou or go north to capture Qingzhou, Taishan County is quite important.

"What Wen He said is true, a certain person has the same idea."

Lin Chao nodded and responded.

Jia Xu continued: "It's just that Mount Tai is a prefecture under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou. If Duke Xuande wanted to attack it, he would have no name."

"Hahaha!" Lin Chao laughed loudly, "Don't worry about Wenhe, someone will make Xuande a teacher famous."

The excuses for wanting to capture Mount Tai are not simple, and you can come up with a lot of them.

Immediately entered the era of warlords fighting for hegemony, the autonomy of states and counties has been unprecedentedly strengthened, and all they need is an excuse to fight anyone.

Lin Chao can even let others come to their door with their own excuses. At that time, Liu Bei will send troops again, which can be said to be full of righteousness.

"If you can occupy Mount Tai, Xu Tu can expand to Qingzhou, then take the entire Qingzhou, and then use the strength of the two states to attack Jizhou in the north. As long as you control these three territories, Duke Xuande's great achievements can be expected!"

"Wen He said exactly what he said."

With Jia Xu's words as a supplement, Lin Chao felt more at ease about his plan.

Seeing that Lin Chao agreed with her, Jia Xu smiled and continued, "Zi Chu, there are still six words to tell."

"Which six characters?"

"Build walls high and accumulate food widely."

Hearing the six-character mantra, Lin Chao was greatly surprised.

Good guy, I can't see that you, Jia Wenhe, are also a dog!

This is to prepare to farm with peace of mind, accumulate strength desperately, and finally wait until the time is right to push the world down!
You, Jia Wenhe, are a real dog!

Lin Chao thought for a while, and then looked at Jia Xu with a different meaning in his eyes.

"Wenhe, after these six characters, there should be three more characters."

"No, no, that's all I can think of."

Jia Xu also had a smile in her eyes, but waved her hands repeatedly and said.

Some things cannot be said in too much detail, at least not now.

Mutual tacit understanding is the greatest tacit understanding.

Of course, Lin Chao could understand Jia Xu's cautiousness, and naturally he would not force him, and was even a little happy.

This is one of our own!

Tian Feng is too upright, Xun Yu is too elegant, Xun You is too loyal, and Xun Chen is too magnanimous. These four people can work together, meet each other, and make achievements together, but they cannot conspire in private.

In terms of conspiracy and tricks, Jia Xu is the only one who can cooperate with Lin Chao tacitly.

"Come on, just Chong Wen and the three words that were not finished, and make it clear!"

Lin Chao raised his glass with a smile and toasted Jia Xu.

Jia Xu raised his glass and laughed, "Don't talk nonsense, Zichu, there are three words left unfinished."

The two looked at each other, smiled, and drank in one gulp.

Putting down his wine glass, Lin Chao wanted to say something more, when he suddenly heard a burst of snoring.

Turning his head to look, it turned out that Guo Jia had already laid down on the shore, fell into a deep sleep, and even wet his sleeves with saliva.

Lin Chao's complexion immediately turned ugly, and he glared at Jia Xu and said, "Jia Wenhe, I entrusted this kid to you, and that's how you trained him!"

Jia Xu:? ? ?
Lin Zichu changed his face too quickly!
What does he have to do with me, Guo Fengxiao, who is so unrestrained!
Jia Xu couldn't help rolling her eyes, but she could only smile apologetically, "Zi Chu, someone is not good at this..."

"I don't care, if the next meeting, if he still has this kind of virtue, I will only ask you!"

After Lin Chao finished speaking, he stood up and shouted towards the door:

"Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan! Hang this Guo Fengxiao up with someone, and give him cold water to sober him up!"

　The unfinished three words are, slow to become king.
