Sun Ce nodded involuntarily and said, "This matter really cannot stand analysis! It seems that something that is difficult to explain, and it seems to be very simple to explain when the military advisor makes it simple."

Just like the magic masters in later generations, when you don’t understand, you will feel that their behavior is magical like a miracle. But once you say it bluntly, you will not be able to say so! The magician just uses various equipment and techniques to simple visual deception.

Li Xiaoru continued: "Although your strength is stronger than many military generals today, I have never seen the arrogance and arrogant domineering aura that ordinary generals often have in you.

Those people always like to show their bravery, and they hope that everyone in the world knows his strength, as if the world has the highest martial arts skills. They are like proud roosters, always wanting to bully the weaker existence in the flock of chickens.

But the generals are not roosters after all. The enemies they face mainly are foreign, not internal groups. In fact, such people are usually the easiest to die on the battlefield. Because of their dazzling existence, the enemy will naturally take them as the primary target of attack. Then unless they are truly invincible, their death will be just a moment."

"I don't know, have you ever seen a tiger with its teeth and claws at people? And I have only seen a cat with its teeth and claws. Really powerful people are silent like tigers, and they will only hide in places that are not noticed, quietly looking for opportunities to give the enemy a fatal raid."

"They will not leave the prey with a chance to recognize their terribleness and to react to defensively. When they attack, they will always be the time when the prey is most relaxed. Instead of meowing and screaming all day long like a cat, they will make people notice it. Use small claws that cannot make people hurt their bones, threaten the enemies close to it, and make weak and ineffective screams."

Sun Ce nodded and said, "Military advisor, now I understand what you are going to say! In fact, to put it bluntly, this kind of situation is a form of one's own strength and self-confidence. The examples you gave are just to want me to understand! The strongness of one's own strength is the real condition for determining victory or defeat, right?"

"Take tigers as an example, when they meet a strong enemy in the eyes of cats, that is, we humans, because our bodies are usually weaker than them, so they just regard us as prey and naturally disdain us.

Probably, it will only care about us when it is hungry. But when it meets other big tigers that are stronger than him and come to grab its territory, it is afraid that it can only roar and escape in a panic."

Li Xiaoru saw Sun Ce understand what he meant so quickly and nodded with satisfaction: "Lord, you are talented and smart, you can know three things when you hear it. Wen You is very pleased. You have no chance to be unacceptable! Haha."

Sun Ce had no choice but to laugh with him shyly.

After laughing, he continued, "Moranna is like the roar of a tiger, and it will only work against its weak prey. If you encounter a tiger with a louder roar than ours, you are afraid that we will be afraid of ourselves.

Now the lord's army has only more than a thousand people, and they are all veterans who have lived for the rest of their lives. Even the Liangzhou army that follows me now are all warriors who have been accustomed to the battlefield.

As long as they train a little with their lord's existing sergeants, they can cooperate tacitly. Now they are a group of invincible tigers. Under the same conditions, with the lord's leadership, they can almost be invincible.

But the enemy cannot be the same number as us, or less than us. So sooner or later, the lord will recruit a large number of new recruits. At that time, this tiger is probably like a female tiger who has just given birth to a small tiger, with only tiger power but no strength."

Sun Ce couldn't help but nodded in distress and said, "This is indeed a big problem. To develop, the team's combat power will inevitably be reduced at the beginning. But we do not have our own territory for development.

Before Yuan Shu went to war, he promised me to be the prefect of Jiujiang. But I don’t know if he was using the excuse to send troops and deliberately forgot. There is no definite news yet. Military advisor, how to solve this problem?"

Li Xiaoru thought a little and sorted out his thoughts, looking at Sun Ce and said, "Just judging from the past two days, the current army is unquestionable for its loyalty to the lord. Now that the lord is involved in Yuan Shu's disciple, his words and deeds are revealed, he must be an ambitious person.

So he can't let us have too much force, and we can give the more than a thousand soldiers here, which will probably reach its peak."

"Otherwise, it will probably attract his jealousy. At that time, it will probably be a disaster for us. After all, our strength is still too weak now. And we cannot take the initiative to rebel and break away from Yuan Shu. Otherwise, we will become an army that will be defeated. I am afraid that we will be unable to move forward in this world. Don't want to develop and grow and attract talents."

Li Xiaoru paused when he said this, looked at me deeply and said, "Lord, have you ever wanted to be a bandit?"

Sun Ce couldn't help but be stunned and thought to himself: "What kind of military advisor am I invited? My father finally found out that he had really laid a foundation after trying his life, and his glorious reputation. I took a military advisor but told me to give up all this and go to be a bandit! I'm afraid that my father will find out, and he will stretch his foot from the sky and slap me hard."

Sun Ce couldn't help but look at Li Xiaoru suspiciously: "What does military advisor mean? Do you want us to give up our current reputation and start with thieves?

But the millions of Huangqian people were not completely destroyed by the official army. Now even Gongsun Zan has pacified the remaining Huangqian parties under his rule.

And the most important thing is the issue of great righteousness. Once we become bandits, it is impossible for us to escape. Although this world is in chaos, no heroes will accept the lord who is a bandit. Military advisor, what you gave this time is not a good idea!"

Li Xiaoru laughed: "The lord misunderstood Wenyou's words! In my opinion, Yuan Shu is a man with great suspicion and has a very strict control over the military power of his generals. It is impossible for generals who are not very trusted to let them lead troops. Like the young master, it is a unique exception that can give you an elite soldier and allow you to train troops freely.

Wenyou believes that he is thinking about the friendship of the old general to help him conquer the world. He is not easy to explain to you because of the face of his old friend's son.

Second, I don’t know that this is an elite soldier. It is very likely that these more than a thousand soldiers were just a group of mobs in his impression.

Third, he wanted to win the heart of his lord. He took a fancy to his lord's lord's lord and wanted his lord to replace the old general and continue to help him fight the world! It's just that you are still young and can't stand alone. So he wants to keep you temporarily for a while, so that you can learn to obey him. In addition, you can further understand your personality and see if you are worthy of his trust.

Sun Ce nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Li Xiaoru is really capable. This matter is not as good as his eyes. It is just that after talking about it these two days, he can analyze Yuan Shu's ideas clearly. It is exactly the same as what Zhou Yu analyzed in Shouchun that day.

He continued, "As for the position of the prefect of Jiujiang, I think the lord doesn't have to consider it for the time being. I think he promised you to be the prefect of Jiujiang at that time, which is probably because he was very excited, and he was afraid that he would regret it as soon as he said it.

Because he is not easy to face you, he will personally attack Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

First, he can rest assured that he will lead his own troops, and no general will take the opportunity to rebel against him.

Secondly, you can also avoid your pursuit of the prefect. At that time, if you give Jiujiang to you, he will be worried. If you don’t give it, you will feel resentful. In order to avoid embarrassing both of you, he might as well leave! Yuan Shu still has some methods."

Sun Ce suddenly realized and said, "So that's it, I'm saying no wonder?"

He could have promulgated my appointment before sending troops, but he didn't take any action. At first, Bo Fu thought he was too busy with military affairs and forgot. In fact, if he really wanted to do so, he could send someone to issue orders now.

I don’t know how many military newspapers are sent from the front line every day, and the soldiers who mobilize troops and transport grain are also constantly in exchange for each other. It seems that he has no intention of this at all.

Still don’t trust me enough! What should I do? We can’t do any subsequent steps anymore. If this continues, when will we have our own territory? Wouldn’t we be greatly behind others? If we fall behind, we will be beaten!"

Li Xiaoru smiled mysteriously: "Lord, don't be anxious first. You should have heard of the inconstant force of soldiers and the inconstant force of water. This is the tactic of war!

Seeing Sun Ce nodding, he said, "This is what I thought of when I heard my lord talk about yesterday. You said yesterday that you arranged for Zhou Yu to do the preparatory work and establish a preliminary intelligence network. I also admire my lord's plan for the future. This step is simply great."

"It is said that the army cannot be implemented without orders, but without the comprehensive intelligence of all aspects, the orders cannot be implemented. Any army that wants to win a battle must ensure the clarity and accuracy of intelligence, which proves that the young master has a deep understanding of the essence of military strategy.

It is said that before the troops move, food and grass will come first. Wen You, however, is the same as the lord thought, and intelligence should come first!"

Sun Ce truly admires Li Xiaoru. The premise of modern warfare is to collect a large amount of accurate intelligence. You can see that all the powerful countries in the world spend money desperately and spend all their money to study various satellites, high-tech reconnaissance aircraft and various spy equipment.

It can almost be said that today's most advanced technology is used in the espionage industry, and military operations have already ranked second.

We know everything about the enemy and can defeat you from the negotiating table. Why do we need to send troops?

Of course, the necessary advanced weapons must be maintained, otherwise there will be no deterrent power. Others will not listen to you at all, and others will not be willing to sit down, so there will be no way to talk about everything.

From this we can see that intelligence is definitely the most important thing in war. Because no matter what decision is made, it is inseparable from the detailed information accurately collected and analyzed.

Only by targeting one's targetedness can we use the least amount of loss, more effectively and accurately to strike the enemy's key points, so as to achieve the goal of dismantling the enemy as quickly as possible.

Li Xiaoru continued: "Wenyou thinks that spreading the intelligence network is the most important first step, which is the prerequisite and guarantee for all actions. At the same time, we can also send another general to lead some loyal soldiers to become bandits."
