Cai Yan's words came out, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, but no one opened their mouths to scold her, even Xun Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his head and was silent.

Shen Xian sat on the main seat and looked down at Cai Yan silently.

The two sat opposite each other, and there was originally no difference between the height of their eyes, but Cai Yan bent down slightly, and Shen Xian was straight and stiff like a sculpture, and the atmosphere between the two changed subtly.

Feeling the faint warmth that was constantly transmitted from Cai Yan's palm, Shen Xian tugged the corners of her mouth and showed a strange smile: "Although it seems hypocritical to say anything now, I still want to tell you that my original wish was only to destroy the chaotic ministers and thieves, calm the troubled times, and restore peace to the world." ”

Cai Yong's face turned slightly pale.

"He treats me as a knife, and I will make a knife," Shen Xian narrowed her eyes, "But I won't give up the current one, so in the end, will he be cut by the knife...... It's up to him to use it. ”

Xun You was a little dissatisfied, but when he found that there was still a blank feeling in Shen Xian's eyes, he sighed in his heart, and temporarily suppressed what he wanted to say.

Always leave some time for the lord to digest this matter, Xun You thought silently.

As long as Shen Xian finds out that she is unwilling to live under others, she will always make a decision.

Shen Xian's mystery of life that was enough to shake Yizhou was temporarily over, and after deliberation, it was decided that in order to prevent it from being used by other people with bad intentions, this matter would be kept secret for the time being.

"Only when you are in the shadows can you plan better." Xun You said in a flat tone: "Now is not the best time to disclose the identity of the lord. ”

Shen Xian's identity has become a trump card, but she must also see the right time to fight again, and she must hit it with one blow, leaving no room for maneuver for the enemy.

The royal bloodline is not child's play, it is best to let the current saint personally admit Shen Xian's identity, plus Cai Yong and Lu Zhi to corroborate it, so that it can be foolproof. If one or two physical evidence can be found, it is the best, even if it can't be found, Emperor Chrysostom admitted that even if others have the heart to refute, they have to weigh whether they can afford to be targeted by Shen Xian.

"Now we can finally get back to business." Shen Xian curled her index finger and knocked on the side of the table: "Your Majesty has fallen into the hands of Yuan Benchu, the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is better to think of a solution, we can't send troops to the division to grab it now, right?" ”

Xun You smiled and said, "Then it depends on how you choose, lord." ”

Indeed, before this, Yuan Shao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes may still have a restraining effect on Yizhou, but after learning the identity of Princess Shen Xian, who is worried about what Yuan Shao will do? It's a big deal that everyone will tear their faces, the one in your Yuan Shao's hand is the true dragon emperor, and our lord is not a royal bloodline?

"Yuan Benchu will not immediately send troops to Yizhou, he needs a reason." Xun Yu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Besides, if the lord ...... We are still useful to His Majesty, he will not let the lord fall into danger for the time being. ”

Although Xun Yu had no expression on his face, Shen Xian just felt that it was very difficult for him to say word by word.

Casting a reassuring gentle gaze at Xun Yu, Shen Xian said softly: "Don't be busy, this matter will be discussed in the long run, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Sili, one by one." ”

Shen Xian dragged the bamboo tube on the table, and her slender fingers pulled out tokens from them and threw them down.

"Write a letter to the eldest brother and the second brother, and let them go back to Chengdu as much as possible, and Zilong will take Qian'er to change people on the Lujiang side;"

"Inform Xiaozhi and ask him and Ziqiao to closely monitor Nanyang's moves, and report Liu Jingsheng immediately if there is any change;"

"Finally," Shen Xian threw the token into Guo Jia's arms: "General Huang Lao and General Han are enough to hold Changsha, let Wenhe come back." ”

Yizhou, which has just rested for a short time, is running again like a huge machine, and it is still Xun Yu's overall deployment, the only difference from before is that Cai Yan no longer assists from the side, she follows Shen Xian with the official position of Tai Lieutenant Changshi, and officially confirms the identity of the first strategist under Shen Xian, rather than the words that are only mentioned in occasional jokes.

On this day, Shen Xian and Cai Yan drew a map in the study, although Yuan Shao had no intention of sending troops to Yizhou for the time being, but Shen Xian still could not rest assured, she began to recruit troops in the whole territory of Yizhou and the three counties of Jingzhou, and sent Zhang Xiu as the vanguard, with 20,000 horses and horses to Hanzhong to support Zhang Lu's defense.

Before leaving, Shen Xian only gave a death order to Zhang Xiu: the officers and men of the three armies must remember one point, that is, at this stage, they must not clash with the soldiers and horses of the division, and they should focus on prevention.

Different from the water battles in the south, most of the battles in the north are road struggles, and the strength of the cavalry accounts for a large proportion of the victory rate, when Dong Zhuo only brought three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry into the city, he made tens of thousands of royal forest troops frightened, which shows how great a good cavalry is for the enemy.

Shen Xian has two cavalry teams, one is named Long Yuan, led by Zhang Xiu, and the predecessor is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Dong Zhuo's hands, which changed the color of the world, all of which are composed of mighty and majestic Xiliang men; The other is called Long Xiang, led by Zhao Yun, and the core members are the White Horse Yicong who followed Zhao Yun to defect to Shen Xian, and now there are about 3,000 people, and the newly added soldiers are all carefully selected by Zhao Yun and trained according to the training method of the White Horse Yicong.

These two cavalry were still created by Shen Xian at the beginning, and there were only 8,000 people in total, but the annual training and maintenance costs were a huge expense in Yizhou, and several times Cai Yan and Xun Yu came to Shen Xian to complain that the cavalry was too expensive to raise, Shen Xian flipped through the account book and felt so distressed that she almost ordered disarmament, but looking at Zhang Xiu's rare pitiful eyes and Zhao Yun's deep gaze, and then ran around the school field to watch the cavalry's blood-boiling training, Shen Xian still gritted her teeth and persevered.

The capital was built...... Let's form an army with the highest appearance of the big man, and I can lick and satisfy my hunger if it's okay, and it's not in vain that I spent so much money.

Shen Xian comforted herself like this.

Before, Shen Xian's focus on using troops has always been in the south, and there is no need for cavalry to appear, when other soldiers are fighting bloody battles in Jing and Yangzhou, these big men of the cavalry team practice every day, holding back their enthusiasm and dissatisfaction. They also knew that Shen Xian had invested a lot of money in the cavalry, and they had long been looking forward to the time when they could exert their power, and after hearing the news that Shen Xian was going to send someone to Hanzhong to assist Zhang Lutun's troops in the border, they all ran to Zhang Xiu's house every day like crazy, begging the boss to show his face in front of the lord and take his brothers to the battlefield together.

"General, if we don't let us fight with real guns, the brothers' bones will rust!" The centurion shouted, "We don't eat white rice either!" You don't need cavalry to fight the south, and the north is always our home field, right?! ”

Zhang Xiu swore and said: "Of course! This time the pioneer, we Longyuan should be decided! ”

Zhang Xiu was also aggrieved in his heart, he also wanted to fight on the battlefield like Sun Ce, but Shen Xian had fought a water war before, which was a bolt from the blue for Zhang Xiu, who was seasick, and he had no choice but to nest in Yizhou to accompany Xun Yu. This time with the opportunity to go north, Zhang Xiu naturally would not let it go, and he took the initiative to invite Ying to go to meet the battle.

Shen Xian knows the truth of balance, Gan Ning and the others are in the limelight in the south, so let's give this opportunity to others. Besides, the cavalry regiment that has been raised for a thousand days and used for a while, and the cavalry regiment that has been built with a lot of money should also be pulled to the battlefield to see blood.

Considering Zhang Xiu's IQ, Shen Xian picked and chose the strategists around her, and finally she threw Xun You alone and threw it to Zhang Xiu with a trace of irrepressible dark feelings in her heart.

Although she knew that Xun You was loyal, Shen Xian still couldn't control it and began to take precautions. Cai Yong and Lu Zhi's words left a small pimple in her heart.

Not only Xun You, but also Xun Yu, Cai Yan, and even Guo Jia......

After sending away Zhang Xiu, who invited Ying, Shen Xian swept the bamboo slips on the table to the ground, and she lay on the table and stayed quietly for a long time. The sunlight poured into the room, cut into pieces as it filtered through the panes, and the broken pieces fell softly over her.

Xun You didn't have any dissatisfaction, he didn't seem to have noticed Shen Xian's intention to rub secretly, and he solemnly entrusted Cai Yan to Shen Xian, and then packed up his things and went on the road.

"Why didn't Gongda think it was right when he looked at me before?" Shen Xian was confused by Xun You's solemn appearance, and after sending Xun You away, she came to Cai Yan's side and asked secretly, "What's wrong with you two?" ”

"We're fine." Cai Yan smiled slightly and teased: "It would be better if we didn't break us up soon after we got married." ”

Shen Xian raised her hands in surrender.

Cai Yan chuckled: "Probably it could be ......"

"What is it?" Shen Xian asked with interest.

"Nothing." Cai Yan shook his head, and the words suddenly changed: "Lord, I found out two days ago that the official seal seems to have been moved-"

"Ah, about Yuan Benchu's matter, do you have any opinions?" Shen Xian immediately changed the subject.

"—what did you do with it?" Cai Yan was not affected in the slightest.

Under Cai Yan's smiling gaze, Shen Xian's eyes rolled around: "Just check if the official seal is intact." ”

Cai Yan smiled slightly: "Lord, don't you believe me?" ”

"How so!" Shen Xian blurted out.

"The lord and Fengxiao have a good relationship?" Cai Yan suddenly had a twist.

Shen Xian was silent.

After looking at each other for a while, Cai Yan sighed and compromised: "Lord, you are not only the lord of Yizhou now, you are also the princess of the Han Dynasty, and you will be the lord of the world in the future......

Cai Yan's voice was as gentle as ever, but Shen Xian heard a trace of coldness that penetrated her spleen and lungs: "There are some things that can't be both. ”

"I don't believe it." Shen Xian said lightly: "I want to try." ”
