Chapter 347 Zhang Hong
No matter how stupid Yan Baihu is, he knows what's going on. The person who dares to fly the Wu character banner now, except Zhou Yu from the General's Mansion, who else is it.

For five full years, Zhou Yu flourished in Yangzhou. Although he did not bring any soldiers, he was a son of Yangzhou gentry and was able to do a job among the princes, and persuaded them to join Wu Ming's shogunate.

Just before today, Yan Baihu thought he could sit back and relax. After all, even if Zhou Yu persuaded the surrounding princes, their soldiers and horses would not be too concentrated. It would be a huge project to integrate the soldiers and horses of as many as five forces.

So Yan Baihu always thought that it would take at least a while before he would have a conflict with Zhou Yu, but he didn't expect that this scene would happen so quickly, and he didn't have any power to resist.

Pretending to be in the hands of others, stealing the sky for the day, using the fleeing Shanyue remnants to drag himself into hell.

Yan Baihu has only now come to his senses. Jiaozhou has a total of six counties, among which Jiaozhi County, Yulin County, Cangwu County, Zhuya County, and Gaoliang County were all directly captured by Zhao Yun, and three of them were slaughtered by the whole city. , why only Nanhai County adjacent to Yangzhou did not attack on a large scale.

Now it seems that Zhou Yu must have communicated with Zhao Yun a long time ago and asked him to compress the soldiers and horses at the junction of Cangwu County and Nanhai County. Soldiers and horses drove to Yangzhou.

At that time, the desperate Shanyue Army could only flee to the north. When they set off from Jieyang, Jian'an County, Linhai County, and Kuaiji County all avoided the city. Forget that they are fugitives, how dare they make trouble.

At this time, Zhou Yu only needs to send a highly mobile soldier and horse to act as a bait, luring the Shanyue army to Wujun step by step. Yan Baihu fought the Shanyue army to the death inexplicably without making a sound. Fan.

As for the ending, it is obvious that Zhou Yu reaps the benefits of the fisherman.

"Such a clever way of diverting misfortune to the east, leading snakes out of the hole, and finally killing people with a knife, can make the master's strategy so smooth, Zhou Gongjin, you must be No. 1."

A middle-aged man stood in front of Zhou Yu. Although Zhou Yu was lazily lying on the rattan chair, he was not angry at all.

Zhou Yu said: "Zigang, the Zhang family is kind to my Zhou family. You have escaped disaster and returned home, and you have talents. When Yangzhou is settled down, I will personally write a letter and recommend you as the chief of the general's mansion."

Zhang Hong smiled and said, "I don't care about these things, but you, I'm more curious."

"Curiosity? I grew up in Jiangdong, but you watched me grow up, why are you curious?"

Zhang Hong said: "As far as I know, you have been eccentric and clever since you were a child, with endless conspiracies and tricks, but this time you came to Jiangdong, you used conspiracy instead, and this time you used a wide range of strategies and complicated actions. Incredible."

Zhou Yu suddenly realized, got up and walked to the table, grabbed a book and handed it to him.

"That's the thing. I have been studying the art of war since I was a child. Whether it is Jiang Shang or Bai Qi, or Sun Wu and Zhang Liang, I have to figure it out for a while before I can understand it. Since I have this book of war, the mystery is ever-changing, but Without losing its truth, if you mix it a little, you can draw inferences from one instance, so you can take it and have a look.”

Zhang Hong took it in doubt. The cover was very crude, and it didn't look like it was made by a famous artist at all, but when he opened the first page, he was obviously taken aback.

Immediately surprised: "This is 36 tricks? How can such an important thing be handed over to others casually!"

Zhou Yu pouted and said, "When did you hear that this is something important?"

Zhang Hong said solemnly: "Don't think that I don't know. The 36 strategies were compiled by the general based on the experience summed up by the ancients in battles. Afterwards, his military advisers Liu Ji and Bie Jia engaged in Xun Yu's review and annotation, and then handed over to the great scholars Zheng Xuan. Song Zong and others reexamined, and there were more than [-] people who stamped their seals, all of whom were famous Confucian scholars and wise men. According to legend, in this world, apart from the originals in the hands of the generals, the only ones that were handed over to Cao Cao for commentary facsimile."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Do you believe the general's nonsense?"

Zhang Hong's face changed, and he said: "This statement must not be spread outside, what is the status of the general, how can you and I talk about it?"

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, generals are usually very casual, and you don't know anything. What you said just now was just spread by the general to show his awesomeness. As of now, all the majors above the rank of major All the officials have received 36 tricks, and this book in your hand is worthless."

Zhang Hong still felt uneasy: "Seriously?"

Zhou Yu smiled wryly and said, "What did I lie to you for, and it was originally edited by the general when he went to the toilet, maybe he just threw it away at some point, so take it back and look at it at ease."

Only then did Zhang Hong feel relieved: "What will you do if I take it away?"

"It's okay, General Li Xiao still has a copy, take it back and read it slowly, don't return it to me."

Only then did Zhang Hong carefully put the book away, and left impatiently.

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Academically, I look like a child!"

Zhang Hong, who was collectively referred to as Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao in his previous life, is not only a counselor, but also an expert in internal affairs, with a double value of 5 star generals.

Zhang Hong has made four major contributions. The first is that he established a national policy comparable to "Longzhong Dui" for the Sun Ce regime, and clarified the development direction of the Sun-Wu regime. This alone can explain his vision and strategy in his mind.

The second contribution is to facilitate the temporary alliance between Cao Wei and Sun Wu, which bought precious time for the establishment and stability of the Sun Wu regime.

The third is to assist Sun Quan in consolidating political and military power.

The fourth contribution made by Zhang Hong to the Sun Wu regime is to suggest that Sun Quan establish Moling as his capital.

However, there are not many people who can remember this. It is said that Zhang Hong met Chen Lin, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, when he was in Xudu. Zhang Hong said that Chen Lin's article was well written. Chen Lin said: "My article Compared with yours, it is like a little witch seeing a great witch." The idiom "a little witch sees a big witch" comes from this.

Before the Battle of Guandu in the previous life, Chen Lin called Yuan Shao to Yuzhou. She was vicious and scolded Cao Cao fiercely.

Such a person with a poisonous tongue, who is comparable to the great Confucian Kong Rong, admits that he is not as good as Zhang Hong. It can be seen that Zhang Hong has extremely high achievements in both his career as a counselor and his literary attainments.

And Zhou Yu took advantage of it this time. Zhang Hong originally came to Beijing as an official, but unfortunately he was not valued.
