"General Lu Zhi, how are we good now, that Liu Zheng's strength is terrifying and abnormal, we have just calmed down the Xiliang War now, and the soldiers have to rush to the Jizhou battlefield without a moment of rest, plus there are still the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, there are not so many soldiers and horses to deal with Liu Zheng."

After seeing this letter, He Miao seemed a little at a loss, and He Miao was very clear about Liu Zheng's strength.

When He Miao was still Yin in Henan, he once fought with Lu Zhi and Liu Zheng's army in Hugao Pass.

At that time, Liu Zheng only relied on 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he held the Tiger Prison Pass for a month, so that the coalition forces of He Miao and Lu Zhi and others had no way to break through.

Later, Liu Zheng couldn't escape all the way, and even defeated Jiaozhou, which made He Miao feel a little afraid, but after all, Jiaozhou was far away from the emperor, and He Miao couldn't take care of it for the time being, if the court was stable and there were enough troops, He Miao might consider sending troops to Liu Zheng again.

But today's imperial court is full of devastation and rebels everywhere, and there is no way to draw troops to deal with Liu Zheng, and he can only watch Liu Zheng be at ease in Jiaozhou and become his own emperor.

Even if Liu Zheng is the emperor in Jiaozhou, Luoyang will scold a few times at most, but there is any movement.

However, Liu Zheng was not at ease, and after conquering Jiaozhou, at this critical juncture of the imperial court, he actually sent troops to harass Yangzhou.

Of course, this is not the first time that Liu Zheng has attacked Yangzhou, a year ago, he led his troops to fight with Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, and occupied Huiji County.

However, at that time, it had not yet attracted the attention of the imperial court, and thought that Liu Zheng was just making a small fuss.

But now, Liu Zheng and Yuan Shu united and directly defeated Huainan, and Yuan Shu even killed Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan and became the assassin of Yangzhou.

This move has attracted the attention of He Miao, Yangzhou is not far away from the Central Plains, but a rich land, a large part of the grain in the Central Plains is transported from Yangzhou, if there is something in Yangzhou, it will have a great impact on the imperial court.

"Liu Xuan, this waste, was defeated by Liu Zheng's men so quickly, last year I heard that he was not Liu Zheng's opponent, and now Yuzhang is mostly in the hands of Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and other rebels, if we don't get the matter of Jizhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress these people."

Lu Zhi was also at a loss at this time, there were too many battlefields that he needed to deal with, and the other people and horses simply did not have this ability.

"The situation in Yangzhou is very bad, then Liu Zheng is ambitious, he will definitely not give up like this, his goal will definitely be more ambitious, so in order to temporarily contain Liu Zheng, we must think of a way."

Although He Miao was worried about the situation in Yangzhou at this time, he couldn't think of a solution for a while, and it happened that Lu Zhi was here, and he could only believe that Lu Zhi had the ability to solve Liu Zheng.

"General, for the sake of today, we can only temporarily stabilize those Taishou who are still neutral, quell their internal strife, and let them stand on our side, and at the same time increase the pressure on other state ministers and order them to send troops against Liu Zheng."

"What is General Lu Zhi's method?"

"Zhang Miao, Cao Cao and others in Yanzhou, although they have participated in the battle of slandering the generals before, but these people are not really rebelling against the Han, it is better to send someone to talk to them and see if they can be appeased and let them be used by the Han again."

"Is this possible?"

As soon as Lu Zhi's words came out, he aroused He Miao's interest, but He Miao had some doubts about this method, of course, his suspicions mainly came from Cao Cao, because Cao Cao united with Yuan Shao and launched the battle of the Qing monarch to destroy General He Miao.

Cao Cao, like Yuan Shao, is his eldest brother He Jin's sworn friend, when Lu Zhi talked about Cao Cao, He Miao's heart was still a little reluctant, but now there is no other way, so it can only be like this.

"That Cao Cao, although we have a little bit of a holiday, but this person, once worked together under my account, I know his difficulties, not a person with the heart of a thief, on the contrary, he knows how to make good use of people, is a good general, if he sends troops to deal with Liu Zheng, think that although it is impossible to defeat Liu Zheng, it is no problem to contain Liu Zheng, the reason why I say this is also because I know that this Cao Cao and Liu Zheng when he was still a yellow turban thief had some festivals."

"So as long as we use Liu Zheng to persuade Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely be able to let go of his mind and stand in the same boat with us."

"And as long as Cao Cao truces, Liu Dai, the Yanzhou Mu who fought with Cao Cao, will definitely target Liu Zheng and Yuan Shu."

In order to persuade He Miao, Lu Zhi further explained a few words to He Miao.

"The Liu Miao who was killed by Yuan Shu and others is Liu Dai's own brother, his own brother was killed, Liu Dai will definitely not be able to sit still, as long as Cao Cao truces, Liu Dai will definitely lead the soldiers and horses to personally crusade against Yuan Shu."

"With Liu Dai to contain Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others to deal with Liu Zheng, so that we can buy some time and deal with the affairs of Jizhou and Youzhou."

After Lu Zhi finished his words, He Miao also changed from uncertainty at the beginning to a calm color, this method is indeed the best way now, he doesn't need to make any effort, just use the name of the emperor to drive the tiger and the wolf.

"Okay, General Lu Zhi, I'll go to meet the emperor and tell the emperor about what we discussed."

Without further ado, He Miao immediately got up and went to the palace and talked to the emperor about these things.

In fact, with He Miao's power now, he can call the shots about these things himself, because the little emperor Liu Xie is only eleven or twelve years old now, and he doesn't understand anything at all.

It is impossible to be pro-government, most of the things are handled by the regent Empress Dowager He and the general He Miao.

It didn't take long for the imperial court to issue a notice and send envoys to Yanzhou to meet Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others.

In order to win over Cao Cao, He Miao directly said that he and Cao Cao and others did not care about their previous suspicions, and canonized Cao Cao and Danyang Taishou, and Zhang Miao as Yuzhang Taishou, hoping that the two could send troops to contain Liu Zheng.

In order to show his sincerity, He Miao also sent some money and food to the two to fund their armaments.

At the same time, he asked Lu Zhi to privately send someone to catch up with Cao Cao and others to win over the relationship.

Cao Cao naturally knew that there was no way for the imperial court to fight against Liu Zheng, so he would ignore his previous affairs, but Cao Cao really agreed, because he urgently needed to go against the imperial court and had no good end.

This is also an opportunity to renew relations with the imperial court.
