"Lord, what are you going to do next?"

Tian Feng kneaded his swollen temples,

He looked at Lu Bu with some headaches.

This is Jia Xu's secret office,

Lu Bu, Tian Feng, Jia Xu and others are all sitting,

Lu Bu and Jia Xu were playing chess with great interest at this time.

After coming to this era,

Lu Bu also learned to play chess.

Although he is only a beginner,

But after all, later generations have been exposed to this project,

And the people who teach and accompany him to practice are masters,

Therefore, Lu Bu's progress is very fast.

From the initial defeat in the face of Jia Xu,

So far, he can barely play two games with him.

Now, he is wrinkling his eyebrows and looking at the chess game,

A white child in his hand was repeatedly played with by him,

Judging from the chess surface, the two sides are in a stalemate,

It looks like two people are on par,

But in fact, Lu Bu is bitter and self-aware,

He has always fallen behind,

The few tricks that he had thought about were all blocked tightly by Jia Xu.

Regarding Tian Feng's questioning, Lu arranged to ignore it,

Tian Feng was a little anxious,

Stood up and walked over to the two of them,

He was about to continue asking.

Jia Xu said with a light smile:

"Brother Yuan Hao, don't be in a hurry."

"You Jia Wenhe, you don't care about the king's worries, and you still lose your mind with the lord's plaything, you, you, you, I'......m angry with me."

Tian Feng pointed to Jia Xu's nose,

He reprimanded angrily.

In the face of Tian Feng's accusations,

Jia Xu still looked comfortable,

As if the person Tian Feng said was not him.

Since that day the court council,

Tian Feng has been very distressed,

He didn't believe that Lu Bu was the kind of person who didn't know what was important.

Now is the best time to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu,

Even a fool can see that,

It's impossible that Lu Bu doesn't understand this,

The so-called 'blind date conference' may be as Lu Bu said,

It's also a matter of great urgency today.

And it can bring extremely rich returns to the state,

But those so-called 'benefits',

There is a prerequisite,

That is, this event must be successful.

And it was a grand and successful finish,

It is possible to achieve the desired results.

For Tian Feng and the people he represents,

Instead of chasing the unknown,

It's better to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,

It's not too late to reap the benefits of your hands first.

After all, Yuan Shu's current situation,

It can be said that they and the state side caused it,

But if you get off to a good start,

In the end, I didn't get the slightest benefit,

All made wedding dresses for others,

Wouldn't that make people laugh out of their big teeth?

Jia Xu looked at Tian Feng's eager appearance,

I can't bear to continue to tease my old friend,

Pointing his finger at the chessboard, he said:

"Yuan Hao, don't be in a hurry. Let's take a look at this game now. The lord's chess skills have improved a lot. ”

Tian Feng glared at Jia Xu angrily,

looked at Lu Bu who was still frowning and thinking about it again,

understood at the moment that even if he asked again, it would be useless,

simply followed Jia Xu's meaning,

Look carefully at the chessboard where the two are fighting.

started first, with a little disapproval in his eyes,

Although Lu Bu's chess skills have improved rapidly,

But in the eyes of these masters,

Lu Bu is still like a child,

Maybe it's an exaggeration,

But it's basically the same as the truth.

But today's game of chess is a little weird,

I saw the middle part of the chessboard,

The sunspots and the whites are intertwined,

The two sides are inseparable,

But Tian Feng could see at a glance,

Lu Bu's side of the white son,

In fact, it fell into disadvantage,

Several living roads are faintly besieged by sunspots,

If you can't break the game,

The situation is likely to take a turn for the worse.

But in the midst of this downwind,

But there is still a little bit of life,

Especially in one corner of the chessboard,

Lu Bu occupies a corner,

Although this corner is not big,

But if you can open up the connection with the central part,

then you can immediately save the downwind in an instant,

It is even possible to turn defeat into victory.

Tian Feng's eyes showed a look of surprise,

Twist your beard under your chin with both hands,

The mouth was tightly closed.

Jia Xu raised his eyes and looked at Tian Feng's appearance,

Zhan Yan smiled,

A pun on the words: "The chess game is like a battlefield, and the battlefield is like a chess game." ”

Tian Feng glanced at Jia Xu,

My heart moved, and I seemed to vaguely feel something.

At this moment, Lu Bu sighed softly,

put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess pot,

The brow is still tightened,

Obviously, he thought about it for so long, but he still couldn't think of a way to break the game.

He whispered in his mouth:

"How can we revitalize that enclave?"

Tian Feng's eyes twisted,

The right hand unconsciously used a little strength,

Twist your usually cherished beard into a ball without knowing it.

"But the lord wants to give up this piece?"

Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu,

Gesture with your hand in the middle of the board.

Lu Bu's eyes moved with Jia Xu's hand,

Nodding slightly,

Then he shook his head.

The two of them exchanged ordinary riddles,

But it made Tian Feng on the side have a sudden look.

Tian Feng took out a piece from Lu Bu's chess pot,

Slowly placed in a blank space on the chessboard,

Lu Bu's eyes rolled,

When he looked at the place where he fell,

But his eyes suddenly froze,

Then a flash of joy welled up on his face.

I saw that although the chess piece only landed in a blank space,

But it's a clever move,

To the middle position, you can revitalize the area where Lu Bu fell downwind,

If it extends outward,

But it can revitalize the enclave that Lu Bu arranged before,

It's really a clever move to attack, retreat and defend.

looked at Tian Feng in surprise,

Lu Bu opened his mouth and said:

"Thank you, sir, for your advice."

Tian Feng smiled and nodded,

Then he turned his gaze to the enclave on the chessboard,

Then he asked:

"I don't know what the lord has taken a fancy?"

Lu Bu turned his head and sold a pass,

Xiang Tian Feng asked rhetorically:

"What do you think, sir?"

Tian Feng frowned slightly when he heard this,

pacing around the room,

After pondering for a long time, he slowly spoke:

"But the Western Regions?"

"Hahahaha, those who know me, sir!"

Lu Bu stroked his palms and laughed loudly.

Tian Feng's brows furrowed even tighter,

With some concern, he said:

"Lord, if you want to go to the Western Regions now, it's a little too hasty."

A faint smile appeared on Lu Bu's face,

But he did not open his mouth to answer,

Seeing this, Tian Feng had no choice but to speak to himself:

"Now the Central Plains is in the most chaotic moment, the heroes are rising, the princes are numerous, although our army is now the strongest in strength, but after all, it cannot be compared with the period of the total victory of the Han Dynasty. Don't say that at that time, it was compared with Dong Zhongying's time a few years ago......"

When Tian Feng said this, he suddenly spoke,

No further talking,

His gaze looked at Lu Bu steadily.

Lu Bu saw Tian Feng's expression,

Slowly nodded,

Signaling that Tian Feng guessed correctly,

With a long sigh, he spoke:

"Alas, Li Wenwu has great talents, I really can't bear to abandon them, not to mention General Xu Rongxu, who uses soldiers like a god, these two are rare talents......"

Lu Bu's face was very gloomy,

The words were halfway said and did not continue,

Only the sigh that echoes in the room,

seems to be telling the helplessness of the owner.

Jia Xu finally spoke at this time:

"But although the lord loves his talent and accepts it, he can't use it after all."

"Rumors are fiercer than tigers."

Tian Feng couldn't help but say.

Since Lu Bu subdued Li Ru and Xu Rong,

He's been thinking about how to use these two people,

Needless to say, the talents of these two people naturally need to be said,

One is the person who assisted Dong Zhuo from the small grassroots level to the top of the power and the opposition.

The other is with real feats,

The peerless commander who has won the name of 'Xiliang God of War',

These two people are better than a million heroes in their hands,

What's more, because of Dong Ye in hand,

Lu Bu didn't need to worry about the loyalty of these people at all,

It can be said to be the sharpest knife in Lu Bu's hand.

However, corresponding to its capabilities,

but their disrepute,

Not to mention that since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing,

How many court officials and common people have been killed,

is just the charge that Li Ru was ordered to poison the first emperor,

It was enough for the whole world to spit on him.

Lu Bu himself didn't care much about this,

But now he has to care,

Now he is also a prince,

Although the imperial court has existed in name only,

But many of the local heroes of the big families are still loyal to the Han family.

Not to mention the princes of one side of their own country,

It is necessary to support the banner of the royal family to occupy the righteousness,

That's why it became so important to snatch the emperor in the first place.

So now when Lu Bu is thinking about the problem,

I have to worry about my reputation,

You have to take care of your wings.

He subdued Li Ru and his subordinates with a strategy,

This kind of thing is still within the acceptable range of all forces,

is also above the bottom line of many people loyal to the Han family,

But if he reuses these people,

and even sent them to fight against others and even to conquer the world.

At least in the past few years,

It will certainly be a reason for others to slander and attack them.

When that time comes,

Lu Bu will become very passive,

Therefore, now Li Ru and Xu Rong, the old departments of Xiliang, have become a hot potato.

It will cause undesirable effects when used,

It may even bring extremely serious bad consequences,

But if you discard it, it would be a pity.

In comparison, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and his subordinates,

On the contrary, there are not so many problems.

Lu Bu also returned from the Western Regions this time,

With the idea of conquering the Western Regions,

After thinking about it, it just so happened that Li Ru and the others could be sent to the Western Regions.

On the one hand, it can make them fade out of the eyes of the world,

As much as possible to reduce the negative impact on Lu Bu's reputation,

On the other hand, it can also make people who are useful at the same time.

That's why he specifically discussed this matter with Tian Feng and Jia Xu.

After thinking for a while, Tian Feng nodded and said:

"If that's the case, he's a very good candidate. But ......"

Lu Bujian raised his eyebrows, looked at Tian Feng and asked:

"What do you have to say, sir?"

Tian Feng gently stroked his beard,

His brows furrowed slightly:

"I have two concerns, one of them: the number of countries in the Western Regions is as large as a cow's hair, after Ban Dingyuan pacified the fifty countries of the Western Regions, the Western Regions were included in the Han Dynasty, but since Emperor He and Emperor Qian, the disadvantages of the dictatorship of relatives and eunuchs have gradually begun to appear, politics has gradually begun to corrupt, and the powerful people in various places have slowly become larger, making the Han Dynasty gradually begin to decline. It was also from that time that the Western Regions gradually broke away from the control of the imperial court in just a few decades after Ban Dingyuan pacified the Western Regions, and now it has completely cut off contact. ”

Jia Xu opened his mouth and said, "Yuan Hao is worried about the complicated situation in the Western Regions? ”

Nodding, Tian Feng then spoke:

"Wen He is right, I am concerned about this. There are many small countries in the Western Regions, and now there are still several countries loyal to the Han Dynasty, and how many countries are willing to belong to this is unknown. In the past, Ban Dingyuan was able to conquer the Western Regions, and a large part of the reason was due to the era of Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang. Today, however, the situation is ......"

Shaking his head, he let out a long sigh,

The latter words, though he did not utter,

But Lu Bu and Jia Xu clearly understood it very clearly.

After listening to Tian Feng's concerns,

Lu Bu nodded unconsciously,

After he had this idea before,

I really haven't thought too much about it,

So he came to the two of them and consulted.

I just want to hear what they think,

Tian Feng's concern is a very practical problem.

After all, the Western Regions are too far away,

The people and customs there are very different from those of the Central Plains.

It is indeed too rash to go rashly.

Jia Xu's thin fingers lightly tapped the chessboard twice,

attracted Lu Bu and Tian Feng to look at him,

Then he spoke slowly:

Yuan Hao's concerns are good. However, there are different opinions below. ”

Tian Feng smiled slightly: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Jia Xu nodded and said:

"Actually, we don't know anything about the Western Regions."

Lu Bu and Tian Feng looked at Jia Xu in surprise,

The latter smiled and explained:

"Liangzhou and Yongzhou border the Western Regions, although the two sides have cut off contacts, but the people still exchange news, and the general situation can also be understood. In addition, when the lord went to the Western Regions, I sent some of the dark group over, and now I have settled down there, although the scope of contact is not large, but it can play a great role. ”

Lu Bu's face appeared happy when he heard this,

"He is worthy of being a military advisor, and he has taken precautions so far."

Jia Xu proudly touched the beard under his chin,

Said with a smile:

The lord praised it. That's what I'm supposed to do. ”

After a pause, Jia Xu Zhengse continued:

"Since the Lord settled the northern grasslands, the countries of the Western Regions have been greatly shaken. As we all know, since Ban Dingyuan pacified the Western Regions, the rule of the countries in the Western Regions was no longer controlled by the Xiongnu. However, since the decline of the Han Dynasty, although the Xiongnu are also declining, but still strong, in the northern grassland by the sandalwood locust defeated, the Northern Xiongnu fled westward, fled into the Western Regions, many Western Regions countries were again controlled by the Xiongnu alien race. This is also the reason why after the chaos in the Central Plains, many places in the Western Regions cut off contact with the Central Plains. ”
