The army marched south, arriving in Shangdang from Jinyang, and finally to the city of Terminal in the east of the river. There is no change in revisiting the old place, after all, it has only been three months.

"The last general meets the general!" Cao Cao had already led his headquarters to come, and the army was accompanied by Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, and Cao Chun stayed behind, and he was also worried that Dong Zhuo would take the opportunity to go north.

The number of people is one thousand, this is the result of Liu Tao's request, anyway, he only went out with the army, of course Cao Cao has no opinion on this. The more soldiers he stayed, the more at ease he could be.

"Ma Dai, Zhang He and Zhao Yun, the three of you are temporarily under Cao Cao's command." After Liu Tao and Cao Cao exchanged two words, he immediately gave an order.

"Whoa!" The three of them didn't expect that they would arrange it like this, but they didn't dare to say more, and obediently led the army over.

"This time, you and I pretend to have a bad relationship, and if we have any communication in private, we can just send someone over to inform you secretly." Liu Tao looked at Cao Cao, "In addition, this time you will be close to Yuan Shao." ”

"The last general understands!" Cao Cao is also a human spirit, and he soon understood Liu Tao's intentions.

On the one hand, buy a surprise soldier and use it at a critical time; At the same time, spread the forces so that they are not too conspicuous; In the end, pretending that the two belonged to two camps, Yuan Shao would inevitably come forward to win him over in order to calculate Liu Tao.

"The deadline is for this meeting, and after that, everything will return to normal. There's no need to play long-term, just Yuan Shao is not worth me to be so careful with him. Liu Tao immediately emphasized.

Others are okay, Cao Cao has to be cautious, lest three years later, then Cao Cao's general trend has been achieved, and there are a lot of military generals under his command. At this time, he said that he wanted to return to his command to listen to it, and those civil and military officers under his command refused to say two things.

is a good subordinate, and the undercover agent turned out to be his biggest opponent, so Liu Tao didn't do this kind of loss-making business.

"The last general understands!" Cao Cao nodded, Liu Tao's scruples, he could feel it to some extent.

No, no, it is normal for any king to have scruples about his subordinates who have a high degree of autonomy. If he shows full trust, he will worry about whether there is a conspiracy.

"Stay in Terminal City for two days first, and there is still a team of soldiers and horses who have not come." Liu Tao then commanded.

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded, and at the same time it was very strange, who else didn't come? Liu Tao went south, shouldn't he bring all the soldiers and horses he should bring? Who the hell is it, it's worth waiting here for two days.

Two days later, with a completely different army and horses, when he came to the outside of the terminal city, Cao Cao suddenly became stunned. Suddenly, at the same time, he was more surprised, but he didn't expect Liu Tao to transfer the Hun soldiers to the south.

No, no, no, he can mobilize the Huns, and that's the key. Cao Cao saw with his own eyes that the two Hun generals looked respectful to Liu Tao, which was definitely a relationship between superiors and subordinates, not a relationship of cooperation or even a request for borrowed troops.

"Introduction...... Liu Tao took the two to Cao Cao, "These two are Huchuquan, the left Xian Wang of the Xiongnu, and Qubei, the right Xian Wang, and this time they will go south with us as a guest army...... This is my Hedong Taishou, Jianwei General Cao Cao. ”

"Luck, luck!" The two sides saluted separately, but Cao Cao was secretly happy in his heart. When Liu Tao introduced him just now, he pointed out that he was Jianwei's 'general'. This means that his official position has actually been promoted again?

"Meng De has taken the entire territory of Hedong, and he should be promoted to a general." Liu Tao obviously also noticed Cao Cao's expression, so he smiled and ordered someone to hand over the official seal and waist card to Cao Cao.

"General Xie, the last general will definitely not live up to the general's high expectations!" Cao Cao happily took it, and then solemnly promised.

"How long is the time left until the Alliance?" Liu Tao briefly calmed Cao Cao's emotions before inviting Guo Jia to ask.

"There are more than 20 days left, so there is plenty of time." Guo Jia replied. Although this alliance was released by Zong Zheng and Sangong last year, this time it was officially proposed, but it was Chen Wang Liu Chong. It was probably at the beginning of the year that the letter was delivered to Liu Tao.

The agreement is to meet in April to meet in sour dates, and it is estimated that the distance between the princes from all walks of life is also taken into account. As for Yizhou Mu's side, he will fight if he wants to, anyway, the premise is that he can get out of Hanzhong. If someone restrains Dong Zhuo in the rear, it can also make him unable to take care of the end.

It is only the beginning of March, and there are still more than 20 days before the time of the meeting is formulated. This period should be based on the spring ploughing in the Central Plains as the standard, after all, they can almost start farming in February, unlike Bingzhou, north of Taiyuan, which can only be cultivated in March.

Generally in April, the spring ploughing has ended, and it seems that it is time for the farm to be slack. As long as the spring plowing is not delayed, even if you lose, then at least you don't have to worry about running out of food when you come back.

It's just that at this time, Liu Tao suffers a little, after all, he has to temporarily transfer 10,000 people, which will hinder the progress of spring ploughing. For this reason, Xun Yu has already predicted that he will let the soldiers who stay behind help cultivate and make up for the lack of manpower.

"In that case, let's stop by Hanoi County." Liu Tao nodded, and then said to Cao Cao and the others.

"The general is going to ......" Cao Cao's mind immediately flashed the allusion of 'false dao and defeat'.

"We go south, and Hanoi can't get around. Besides, the grain production in the state is limited, and I need to have a few more grain producing areas. Liu Tao explained a little that Jizhou is actually the best choice, but he has not been able to eat it yet.

The sudden expansion of the army by 30,000 is estimated to be enough for the economy and potential of the state. Yes, but the problem is that the finances are tight, and his other policies cannot be promoted. After all, he is not like other princes, and his military spending accounts for at least seventy percent or more!

It is also possible to transfer border troops, at least 20,000 soldiers can be drawn, but in the clouds, the three counties of Wuyuan and Yanmen are in a state of undefense. When the time comes, don't wait for Bu Dugen to fight, Zhu Jun will be able to spray him to death with saliva.

So before there were enough troops, Pingyang County, Hedong County and Hanoi County were Liu Tao's grain producing areas. It is used to fill the food problem of the state.

Of course, you can also buy it directly from Jizhou, but it's okay now, no one can guarantee it in the future, the princes over there will continue to tolerate it, and a large amount of grain will be transported from Jizhou to Bingzhou...... Taking precautions is a good habit for Liu Tao as always.

"I see......" Cao Cao probably understood.

"Besides, Wang Kuang is also a Hanchen, right?" Liu Tao said with a smile, especially this Wang Kuang, who has not been the Taishou of Hanoi for a long time, it seems that he only took office last year, and it was the imperial court at that time, strictly speaking, he was controlled by Dong Zhuo.

This can be regarded as a good excuse for Liu Tao to come directly to the door and ask the other party whether it is Hanchen or a traitor. Regardless of whether Wang Kuang is obedient or not, Liu Tao will not let him continue to serve as the Hanoi Taishou anyway.

On the third day, the army marched eastward and entered Hanoi County. Counting the auxiliaries, a team of almost 20,000 people entered the territory of Hanoi, and Wang Kuang had to wait for it. Leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses in Huaixian, he took 500 cavalry to the test.

Knowing that it was the army that went south to crusade against Dong Zhuo, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't want Liu Tao to come forward and ask in person: "Wang Taishou, don't say polite words first, the general will ask you a question...... Are you Hanchen, or are you a traitor? ”

Meow, it's really a fake way! What to do, Lao Tzu is so panicked! When Wang Kuang heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat......

Said the little lizard next door

The second chapter, sent a little slower, no way, Kavin.

After all, the world line has changed, so there must be a lot of differences, and it takes a lot of brains to combine these with history and become more reasonable...... It's just that the results are not very satisfying......
