Border trade with the Hu people, coupled with the fact that he himself began to try to concentrate on farming in Yunzhong. So in terms of meat, Liu Tao can squander a little.

Besides, the sour jujube is not very far from the Yellow River, so it is actually quite good to find an opportunity to buy some fish from the fishermen, add some soy sauce and ginger and shallots, and make a steamed fish.

Life is good, but it is conceivable that after the centralized distribution of military rations, what exactly can be distributed by oneself is definitely not as good as it is now. So the question arises: six months of pig food, or three months?

"Lord, my subordinates don't understand, they can attack Luoyang immediately, why don't they attack immediately?" Lu Bu was a little dissatisfied, and he came to the alliance to make a contribution, but according to the current plan, he may not have to fight.

"And guess what, why?" Liu Tao didn't answer immediately, but just asked a rhetorical question, and then looked at a few generals around him, "You can also guess together!" ”

"If my subordinates didn't guess wrong...... Liu Ge came forward at this time, "If we completely ignore the allies, go all the way to Luoyang, and even kill Dong Zhuo, then the next one to be defeated by the princes may be us." ”

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, is this possible? But if you think about it, it doesn't seem impossible......

"Man is a strange being, when he encounters something weaker than himself, he wants to bully or even conquer; When encountering someone stronger than himself, he can choose to cling or tolerate; But when I encounter an existence that is much stronger than myself, the first thing that arises is the thought that 'this guy is too terrible to let him continue to exist'. Liu Tao sighed.

Liu Tao is a disciple of the Immortal Family, and this is obviously different from ordinary people. Friendly troops don't feel anything, and enemy forces will never want to encounter such a being.

No matter how powerful Liu Tao is, he is just a person, and he is still a human being! No matter how powerful the immortal method is, it only covers a single soldier and horse! As long as the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusade against him, then naturally they can't take care of each other at the end, take care of one and lose the other, and finally run out of food, then it won't be terrible!

In turn, at this time, Liu Tao has lost the ability to protect himself, so everyone will naturally change from fear to thirst, and the desire for this ability to become their own ...... The process of exploring how to acquire this ability is definitely not good for him!

"We will follow the lord to the death, and do our best to keep the lord safe!" When the generals heard this, they came forward to express their positions.

"I know you are faithful, and I am reassured of you." Liu Tao smiled at them.

If you don't feel at ease, then you have to open a 'Fire Dragon's Blessing' almost every day. In this way, whoever dares to assassinate himself will be the same as Wang Yue, and he will be burned first.

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that for the above reasons, although it is very unpleasant, sometimes I have to follow certain rules. When you change your strength, you must be strong, but when you have to pretend to be cowardly, you must not expose your true strength.

My plan is to release the water appropriately so that the princes think that I am not that powerful. At the same time, internally, sow discord between them, so that it will be difficult to form a second coalition army.

At the very least, it can buy us about five years of development time. Give us five years, and the state is unbreakable is the basic goal, the most important thing is to completely take Sizhou and Liangzhou, as a big rear, and continue to provide war horses for the front line! ”

As long as there are enough war horses, and another 10,000 cavalry are trained, with the 'Acceleration Technique' and other scrolls, the range of his territory is 300 miles, and it will be within the attack range! Whoever dares to send troops will wait for bad luck! By this time, the princes of the Eighteenth Road would ask for Liu, and he was not afraid!

"So this time we came to the alliance, not only will we not be able to make much progress on the surface, but we may also pretend to lose the battle." Liu Tao reminded, "War is a continuation of politics, and I hope you can understand this. At the same time, if everything goes well, then it is naturally a great achievement! ”

"My subordinates understand!" The generals responded, and then seemed to realize something.

If you want to lose the battle on your side, then in the past, on Cao Cao's side, Zhao Yun, Ma Dai and Zhang He, are they going to win the battle? Thinking of this, I was a little aggrieved, why didn't I take the initiative to ask Ying over there......

Fortunately, I am not stupid, and I soon understood that these people have appeared before and are well-known. When others saw it, they could recognize it as Liu Tao's subordinates, but it exposed Cao Cao's identity, and he was suddenly a little helpless.

On the third day, Sun Jian began to lead his army to attack, and indeed marched at a rate of fifty miles every day. Immediately after, the headquarters of the coalition army also began to follow and slowly advance, but only about thirty miles a day.

"I walk thirty miles (fifteen kilometers) a day, and I don't know what Yuan Shao thinks......" After stationing, Liu Chong and Liu Dai had to come over and complain.

"It's about twenty miles reserved to make it easier for the army to adapt to changes, right?" Liu Tao thought for a while and said, then looked at Liu Dai, "Did you contact the person you contacted before?" ”

"I came into contact with him, he is only a standard-bearer under Zhang Miao, and he doesn't seem to be valued." Liu Dai nodded, "But I think this person is burly, but it's a pity that he is from an average background......"

"I never look at my background when I use people, just learn from real talents. Let's just say that Yan Liang, the general under my command, is just a good family in Jizhou. He has a good friend, Wen Chou, who is just a ranger. Liu Tao smiled, "Gongshan, you have time to help dig it up!" ”

On his side, the outside of the camp has been confirmed with the 'Wind Dragon's Insight', and there are many people monitoring his presence. I feel that my every move is being watched by these guys, and I don't know what I'm being careful about.

Could it be that you are afraid that you can kill them by drawing a few circles at will? So send someone to monitor, and once you have any behavior of opening the altar, you will report it directly? Meow, it seems like it's really possible......

He is being monitored, and it is naturally difficult to come forward in person for such a thing as digging people, so as not to be guarded by Zhang Miao. So he hit the idea on Liu Dai, anyway, Zhang Miao is nominally his 'part'.

"Okay, I'll go and ask you, he is willing to come, no matter what, I will ask him from Zhang Miao!" Liu Dai directly took it over. Dian Wei gave him the feeling that it was too rough, a vulgar person, he really didn't want to get along with him, but if he was really a warrior, it would weaken Zhang Miao's strength, so why not?

Besides, Liu Tao reminded him earlier that his subordinates Yu Ban, Le Jin, Li Dian and Li Jin are all rare good generals and warriors, and I hope he will make good use of them, and may be able to help him deal with Zhang Miao and Bao Xin. At the same time, Ren Jun under his command is good at farming and can be reused, so that the problem of military rations may be solved.

Liu Dai had brief contact with these people, and when he thought about it carefully, he also felt that it made sense. The main thing is that the 'Immortal Family Disciple' said that he was suddenly very much looking forward to the performance of these people. Helping Liu Tao dig people can be regarded as a reward.

The main reason is that Liu Tao really regards himself as his own person, and everyone is a clan relative, and there is no conflict of interest between the two sides for the time being, and it is appropriate to make friends and even form an alliance.

After another two days, in the blink of an eye at night, Liu Dai brought a big man with a big shape to Liu Tao's camp......
