Zhang Zhao didn't know how to find Fang Zhiwen as soon as possible, so he first sent a letter to Miyun, and then boarded the ship and received a reply from Miyun on the way. Because it was of great importance, Miyun could not make a decision directly and asked Zhang Zhao to go to Busan to see Fang Zhiwen.

Who knew that when he arrived at Tsushima Strait, Zhang Zhao met Sun Ming who came to greet him. Sun Ming brought Fang Zhiwen's handwritten letter and asked Zhang Zhao to meet in Hanjin. Therefore, the final meeting location was changed several times and was set in Hanjin on Yingzhou Island. Zhang Zhao felt a little strange in his heart. He actually ran to the front line of conquering the alien races to meet. I don't know if he made this arrangement on purpose.

It was already a cold winter in the north. In the city lord's mansion in Hanjin, a charcoal furnace for heating had been lit. The room was filled with carbon fragrance and tea fragrance, warm as spring.

"Zibu, haha, it's been a long time!"

"Yes, after a few years of separation from the general, the general's style is more beautiful than the past."

"Zibu is old."

"I am a mediocre person and have been entrusted by my master to heavy responsibilities. I am afraid of working day and night and cannot sleep well. Naturally, I will grow old quickly and make the general laugh."

"Haha, I have great power and I can fulfill my life's ambitions. Zibu should be happy and comforted."

"Where are you going to have any great ambitions? You are just a swallow and bird under the eaves. How can you compare with the general and you?"

"Haha Zibu still remembers the opera that day!"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said seriously: "The general said that day, and I felt deeply unwilling to accept it, but now it seems that the general's words that day were really hit by the nail on the head! Compared with Fengxiao and Wenyou, it is indeed a swallow bird, so it is no wonder that the general doesn't like it!"

"Zibu is too humble!" Guo Jia replied with a smile. Li Ru also nodded with a smile.

"People will change. Knowing that yesterday is not the same today means that they are progressive and don't mention old things. By the way, what do Zibu thinks about this Yingzhou Island?"

"I don't know how Yingzhou Island is below. The buildings here are all done by the generals, and the people in the city are all my great men. It's no different from the great men!"

"Haha, where is the scenery outside the city?"

"How are there any difference between mountains, rivers, fields and roads?"

"Well. Although Yingzhou Island is not big, it has more than 100 million indigenous people. Although it is a bit crowded, it should be possible for this small island to support tens of millions of people. This shows that there is still a lot of arable land here."

"What the lord said is very much. It's just that there are so many alien races. Wouldn't this battle continue to be fought?"

"That seems to be a long-lasting fight. I wonder if Zibu can be interested in fighting?"

"Hmm?!" Zhang Zhao was stunned. What does Fang Zhiwen mean? Zhang Zhao subconsciously looked at the map on the side. The terrain of the entire Yingzhou Island was in front of him. Yingzhou Island was really not big, maybe it was similar to Danyang County. There was a population of hundreds of millions of people in such a small place. It was really incredible.

However, is Fang Zhiwen saying this?

Fang Zhiwen smiled, took the new tea handed over by Taishi Zhaorong, took a sip and continued, "Zibu, let's talk about the purpose of this, right?"

The key points in Fang Zhiwen's words were transferred too quickly, and Zhang Zhao felt that he could not keep up with his pace. When he heard Fang Zhiwen's question, Zhang Zhao had to temporarily put aside his thoughts on Yingzhou Island and slowly expressed his purpose.

"I'm here to come here, of course, to win the support of the general to fight against the invasion of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. You are all talented talents with higher intelligence than those in the lower class. I believe that the gains and losses of the interests and losses in the meantime are very clear. Now that the general is fighting against Yingzhou Island, he hopes that the interior of the Han Dynasty will be peaceful, at least, not too chaotic, otherwise it will affect the general's war on external conquests. Therefore, it is in line with the general's fundamental interests to quell the Central Plains War as soon as possible, weaken Cao Cao, and prevent the subsequent Central Plains War."

Fang Zhiwen looked at the anxiety under Zhang Zhao's plain gaze, nodded without objection, and looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia smiled knowingly and took over the conversation.

"Although that's the case, I, Youzhou, have never been involved in the affairs of the Central Plains. Moreover, the foreign war is tense now, and Zibu has seen it with his own eyes. In this situation, it is difficult for us to distract ourselves."

"It's true, but everyone must understand that if Cao Cao continues to grow, it will be very unfavorable to the stability of the Central Plains."

"That may not be possible. If Cao Cao could unify the Central Plains, wouldn't the Central Plains be stable?"

"But, maybe Cao Cao has the support of the Japanese in Yingzhou behind him, is that okay?"

"Cao Cao is Cao Cao. Even if he has accepted the support of the Japanese now, once he is full of wings, how could he be controlled by the Japanese? What's more, Cao Cao's territory is just a place of two states, and there are many places that cannot be developed in large quantities. There are also Lu Bu, Liu Bei and others around it. It is not easy for Cao Cao to grow stronger."

Zhang Zhao's face darkened and he said in a stern voice: "Does the general think that our lord has no value in restraining Cao Cao?"

Fang Zhiwen raised his chin, Guo Jia got up and walked to the front of the map, lifted the map, and after turning it over, a map of Jiangdong was revealed below.

Guo Jia pointed to the map and said, "Please look at Zibu. Zibu must be clear about the current situation. After Cao Cao had Jichun, the situation of occupying Jiangbei has been formed. As time goes by, the foundation of rule has become more and more solid. Does Sun Ce still have the ability to fight back?"

"It's okay as long as the general and Yi Ren support it!"

"What about internal? If the long-term battle is ineffective, will the Jiangdong clan continue to support it?"

"this"

"Looking at Changsha and Jiangxia again, most of Jiangxia has fallen into Liu Bei's hands. Perhaps Zibu had the idea of ​​giving up Jiangxia and then making peace with Liu Bei, but it was a little late. Now what Liu Bei wants must be Changsha. In the end, Sun Ce will definitely accept the condition of giving up Changsha and re-aligning."

"This is nothing, at least our master's strength has not been damaged and he can ride the wind at any time."

Although Zhang Zhao's voice was quite loud, his eyes were a little vague. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in such words.

Guo Jia raised his lips slightly and knocked on the map and said, "It's true that the strength has not been lost. Even the population has not been greatly damaged. There are two counties in his hand, and these two counties seem to be enough to support these populations. Even more are OK. However, I heard that the familiar land of these two counties is in the hands of the aristocratic races, and most of the wastelands are remote and dangerous places, and the difficulty can be imagined."

"this"

"Even if Sun Ce is united, he can overcome this most difficult juncture and successfully develop Yuzhang. However, Sun Ce is growing up, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Yiren are growing up. The more Sun Ce grows, the more people he covets. In addition, Sun Ce's success depends on the support of the aristocratic clans. What if the aristocratic clans are dissatisfied with the embarrassing situation of Jiangdong? There is Liu Bei with unparalleled benevolence in the west, Cao Cao is strong in the north, and Yiren with loose policies in the east and the south. After all, the final competition is policy competition. What does Sun Ce use to compete?"

"This" Zhang Zhao's sweat came out layer by layer without realizing it. He kept wiping it, and he could not answer Guo Jia's words. Or rather, he had never considered the problem from that height. Only at this moment did he deeply understand the judgment Fang Zhiwen gave him.

"Sun Ce's military strength is still there, so it is okay to survive with Liu Bei. It is not necessary to wait for the opportunity to rise again, but Youzhou has no reason to bet on such a slim future force, right, Zibu?"

"But, it's better to provide timely help than to add icing on the cake!"

"Zibu, private relationships are also mentioned, but there are no such relationships between forces, only interests. How could you not know this!"

Li Ru interrupted and cruelly took away Zhang Zhao's last straw. Zhang Zhao grew up and seemed to have lost his water and could not breathe oxygen at all.

After a while, Zhang Zhao came to his senses, but found that Guo Jia had returned to his seat and even the map had been turned back to the map of Yingzhou.

Zhang Zhao smiled bitterly: "General is going to give up my master completely?"

"Not necessarily!" Fang Zhiwen said lightly, but his words suddenly woke Zhang Zhao's dead heart again like a thunderbolt. Zhang Zhao suddenly raised his head and stared at Fang Zhiwen tightly, for fear that he would miss a word.

"Look" Fang Zhiwen pointed to the Yingzhou map.

"Yingzhou Island?"

"Yes, in Jiangdong and Central Plains, Sun Ce has lost its function, but there are hundreds of millions of indigenous people here, and the war lasts for a long time. Sun Ce can play a role here. If Sun Ce is willing to come here to help me conquer Yingzhou Island, then the place Sun Ce occupied is his, and the war needs are also provided by me. I only need half of the population. Perhaps, if Sun Ce can make a comeback with this place in the future, it is really not possible, and he can also make a free and easy appearance. More importantly, Sun Ce did this to expand territory for the Han Dynasty and made contributions to the Han Dynasty. It is better than fighting for the legacy of his ancestors in the Central Plains!"

"This is this"

Zhang Zhao was so confused that he could not think of anything. This suggestion didn't look so beautiful. In Jiangdong, he was only confronting hundreds of millions of enemies. When he came here, there were hundreds of millions of enemies, and there was no compromise. Both sides were mortal enemies!

However, there is no need to worry about money and food here, nor do you have to worry about anyone stabbing the knife in the back. The enemy is also very single, and no one will come to grab the territory you have captured.

As for what you have the chance to make a comeback in the future, that's a joke. Without the navy, it's a big deal!

The way Fang Zhiwen gave was to either live on his own or go to Yingzhou Island to be a thug and a fan, that's all.

"Haha, don't worry, Sun Ce will not be able to fall apart for a while. You should think slowly, but if I have enough strength to take down Yingzhou Island in the future, Sun Ce's value will disappear. At that time, there may be only one way to surrender!"

"General"

"I'm really not in a hurry. Zibu can go back and think about it slowly. Although the Japanese are small, they are also very resistant to fighting."

Guo Jia and Li Ru laughed softly, but Zhang Zhao couldn't laugh. He just felt bitter in his mouth, surrender, perish, or go abroad? What would Sun Ce choose? What would he choose? (To be continued...)
