Lin Han's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at Xi Zhicai. He sensed Xi Zhicai's transformation, and his [Planning] skill had already been activated. At this moment, Xi Zhicai could deduce the general trend of the world.

"Zhicai, what do you think? Tell me."

"Yes, my lord."

Xi Zhicai stood up from his seat, looked around the table, and finally his eyes fell on Xun Yu.

"Everyone, after Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor and burned Luoyang, the world's famous scholars all accepted the fact that Liu Xie was the emperor. However, it is also true that the Han Dynasty existed in name only, and the princes had different thoughts. The scholars of the world all knew this, but they dared not speak out. Now that Liu Xie is dead, there is no longer an emperor. When the Shi family was deposed and the Mu was established, the power of the world was in the hands of the princes."

"What will happen next?" Lin Han asked.

"The world is in chaos, and the princes are fighting for supremacy."

Xi Zhicai threw down eight words.

"As Wenhe said, the current king is no different from the Queen of Zhou You. Even if he is supported again, he will only be King Hao of Zhou. The world is in chaos, and we must make arrangements early.

Even if the lord agrees to support him, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others, with their ambitions, may not agree. If they support someone else, what can we do? Talking about who to support is futile.

"If we don't support him, what's the next step?"

"Each of the princes has their own aspirations. Some will inevitably be unable to restrain themselves and declare themselves emperors. At that time, they will become the target of public criticism and be attacked by all the princes. The struggle for power in the world is about wealth. All we need to do is store up food, build high walls, gather elite troops, and sit back and watch the tigers fight."

Before Xi Zhicai could finish, Xun Yu gathered his emotions, his gaze fixed on the map, and broke the silence: "It's fine to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but there's a better way."

Everyone looked at each other, smiled relaxedly, and their attention was all on Xun Yu.

"What method?"

"If the princes fight and the world is in chaos, we can take Jiaozhi first." Xun Yu pointed to the southernmost location on the map.

"Why?" Lin Han asked.

"My lord has the prestige of Champion Marquis, and he has sealed the Wolf's Lair. He is powerful, and those around him must be wary. If my lord does not move, they may not dare to make a big move."

"Not necessarily." Xi Zhicai retorted, "It is precisely because our lord is so powerful and if he doesn't move, they will make a big move, fighting for territory and strengthening themselves, thinking they have the power to challenge our lord."

"We can also become stronger by taking Jiaozhi. Shi Xie is weak and the cost is small. It is a wild and desolate place that the princes of the Central Plains will disdain. It can also make other princes let down their guard." Xun Yu said.

"When defending, he is as solid as a rock; when moving, he is as quick as a rabbit. If we want to attack, we can take Xuzhou. Tao Qian is weak, but this is a rich place with a large population, which is more suitable than Jiaozhi." Xi Zhicai said.

"If we take Xuzhou, Cao Cao and Tao Qian will definitely unite. What if they also unite with Kong Jun of Yuzhou?" Xun Yu retorted.

"He's just a piece of clay chicken and a clay dog. With the advantage of a strong general and a powerful army, once Xuzhou is taken, Kong Jun may not dare to challenge the lord." Xi Zhicai said.

The two of them discussed the situation and no one else interrupted.

Both of them are right, just in different directions.

Xi Zhicai advocated that if defending, the troops should be kept still, and if attacking, the troops should be attacked as fast as thunder.

Xun Yu advocated showing a half-hearted display of strength, letting the princes let down their guard and attack each other, while they would proceed slowly.

"What if there's still a state here?"

Lin Han drew an oval outside the coast of southern Yangzhou.

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai paused, their gazes simultaneously fixed on the circle.

"My lord, are you serious?" Tian Feng asked anxiously.

Not only Tian Feng, but others were also curious.

One state is on the sea, and all the resources on it will belong to them.

"Of course it's true. There's an island here, a state called Yizhou, which is wild and uncultivated. To the east is Yingzhou, where Xu Fu sailed east. It's all uncivilized territory, but ships can go there."

When entering the dynasty, Yizhou was not an option when choosing the place of birth, because Yizhou might not have been discovered at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The first person Sun Quan should have sent was Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to Yizhou, but Sun Quan was still just a child at that time, let alone sending people to Yizhou.

Even if some players built ships and went there, there were still not many players who could reach the island at this time, and they were unable to compete with his army.

Besides, it’s no problem for a mere player. The moment Lin Han took control of Yangzhou, Yizhou was already in his pocket, as well as Yingzhou further east.

"I'd rather go." Gan Ning said.

He believed what the adults said. Since the establishment of the Bai Ze Camp, except for the war with the World Chamber of Commerce, it has not achieved any success in other wars. If they can find Yizhou, it will be considered as expanding the territory.

"There is a big island here, which can be replanned. My lord, do you want to expand the maritime territory?" Xi Zhicai asked.

Xi Zhicai's words attracted everyone's attention.

The lord's attitude is the key to their decision-making.

"Yes, the maritime territory has unlimited potential and countless resources. Beyond the sea, there are powerful enemies. The Central Plains is only a corner of the world. We must make plans early."

Everyone was surprised.

"Everyone, we have the advantage in naval warfare, and we will be invincible." Gan Ning said.

No one in the field knows water battles better than him.

"We need to make new plans." Jia Xu said.

In the meeting hall, everyone began to plan the matter of the maritime territory that Lin Han mentioned.

Under Lin Han's command, the entire Yangzhou began to operate as fast as a machine.

Countless supplies were transported out through various means, and countless supplies were sent in.

With the support of Xun Yu, Tian Feng and Sang Hongyang, the construction of city defenses and the development of new land proceeded in an orderly manner. They needed to build Yangzhou's defense to a new level.

The Bai Ze camp came out in full force, went down the river, out of Wujun and south to the sea, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Yanzhou, sour jujube.

Cao Cao was in his tent, with a gloomy look on his face.
