The content of the information sent by Guo Zidong is very simple, that is, Li Yun issued the "Discussion of Cao Zhuo" to the world, which details Cao Zhuo's crimes, killing the young emperor, plundering the queen mother, cholera court, causing the tragic death of famous ministers, the withering of the people, the burning of Kyoto, and the excavation of the imperial tomb... One incident after another made anyone who claimed to be a loyal minister and a good general angry, and bluntly said that he would devour his flesh and drink his blood, so as to be able to support the society, establish a virtuous name, and repay the legacy of the previous emperor.

Of course, Liu De knows that he must go this time, he is only famous in Yanzhou and its surroundings now, and he can't really let the world know it in the Central Plains, this crusade against Cao Thief was originally for the sake of righteousness, in the eyes of outsiders, Liu De was deeply loved by the emperor, if Liu De didn't go, I am afraid that Liu De's reputation would be damaged.

People in the world will also be disappointed in Liu De, if a person can get the effect of the people of the world, he must have the characteristics that can make the world pay attention.

The title of the third prince of Yuan Shao, the name of Liu Bei's benevolence, and Cao Cao are also recognized by many people as the male lord, all of which are the same.

Liu De's goal from beginning to end is to compete for the world and establish the imperial industry, so he and Ji Yuanwu are just using each other, this time, if he defeats Cao Zhuo, he will be able to spread his prestige to all parts of the world, which is conducive to his future expansion of power, attracting famous ministers and good generals to come and defect, and even learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, no matter what, it is quite beneficial to himself.

But there are a few points at the moment, Liu De can't rest assured.

One is that he has just taken over most of Yanzhou, and now people's hearts are different, Yang Zichuan's residual poison has not been cleared, and he can't really stretch his hand everywhere, and even the rule of this Liaocheng is blocked everywhere, these need time to deal with, if he leaves, Yanzhou will not be in chaos everywhere under the premeditation of people with intentions.

The second is Guo Zidong, will Guo Zidong go south to ask Cao, if Guo Zidong does not go, will he take the opportunity to do something to himself.

The third is Yang Tianlong's side, after Jinyang Pass, it is Jizhou, and Jizhou is Yang Tianlong's territory, and now that he has killed Yang Zichuan, how can Yang Tianlong let himself go south?

Fourth, the task of the system, to eliminate Guo Zidong within a year, I originally wanted to use half a year to sort out internal affairs, consolidate the territory, and then use half a year to completely eliminate Guo Zidong's forces, but if I go south, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that it will take three months just to march, this time and again, I can't allow myself a chance to breathe, and whether I can eliminate Guo Zidong in the rest of the time, there is still a question mark!

Fifth, because of the confrontation at Jinyang Pass, this information was delayed for a long time before it reached Guo Zidong's hands, and then in his own hands it was more than a month in the past, and now it is winter, Yanzhou is almost snowing all over the sky, and it is difficult to travel, so it is not easy to go out at all. And it's hard to say whether you can catch up on your own.

Except for the fourth point, Liu De told everyone other questions, and Liu Gui and the other generals were silent after hearing it, and did not come up with a good idea.

Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "Lord, why don't you send a letter to General Guo first, and see how he is?" Then wait for Yang Tianlong's news, how about making a decision? ”

"What the military advisor said is very true, but putting everything in the hands of others makes me very unhappy!" Although Liu De knew that what Xu Shu said should be the most reasonable, Liu De was still a little dissatisfied.

Yan Nan said at this time: "Lord, there is another way!" But there may be some dangers and unknowns. ”

"Tell me and take a look!" Liu De said with interest.

"Let's cross the sea south and reach Danzhou!" Yan Nan arched his hand.

"Crossing the sea?"

Liu De ordered Dian Wei to take the map, spread it on the desk, looked at the sea area separated by Yanzhou and Danzhou, and was silent.

Yan Nan continued: "Lord, because of the proximity to the ocean, the Daicheng Gao family has mastered a lot of shipbuilding technology, and there are many fishermen who make a living from fishing along the coast, we can buy a few big ships, recruit sailor puppets, cross the ocean, and directly reach Danzhou on the other side of the ocean, so as to completely avoid Yang Tianlong's army, and Yang Tianlong has no naval army at all, and he is not afraid of him blocking it." ”

"The waves on the ocean are turbulent, the dark tide is surging, the wind and waves are huge, if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, even the Gao family does not dare to cross the ocean, we have no one to command the fleet, how can we reach Danzhou safely, this is too risky, and the general will never agree to cross the sea!" Liu Gui disagreed.

When Yan Nan heard Liu Gui say this, he also muttered that he didn't know what to say, and he also knew that this was indeed too risky.

And Liu De is a change, if you cross the sea, no accident, it is definitely much faster than the land, but Liu Gui said that you have to consider it, if you encounter wind and waves, it is really a death before you get out of the school!

The security is too low, and although he is not afraid of death, he is no longer alone, and the safety of too many people is at stake, and it is no longer the time to have a hot head.

Gongsun Qi also objected: "Lord, crossing the sea is too dangerous, and the ministers do not approve of crossing the sea, it is better for us to only send cavalry, the speed is fast, and the combat effectiveness is not weak..."

"Now it's back to what we discussed!"

Liu De raised his forehead and said to Yan Nan: "Send an envoy to ask Guo Zidong's opinion on this article!" Then send someone to check Yang Tianlong's movements, although Yang Tianlong wants the Ji clan to perish, but this time is an opportunity to gain great prestige after all, maybe he will also send troops to help! In this way, we can also pass Jizhou. ”

Yan Nan said yes.

Liu De looked at everyone and continued: "Our intelligence sources are too scarce, if Guo Zidong doesn't say it, I don't know when we will learn the news, not to mention that we are almost a little blind to the things on our own territory, just listening to the reports of those surrendered officials may blind our hearing and hearing, so it is urgent to set up our own intelligence department!" If you have any opinions, please let me hear them. ”

Liu De looked at Yannan first, because when he was in Dongyu, Liu De asked Yannan to set up an intelligence department, but now the results are obviously a little slow.

Yan Nan smiled bitterly and accused: "My lord, the last general is really a little powerless to form this kind of organization, and he doesn't know where to start, and he also asks the lord to send someone who is familiar with this way to form this organization!" ”

Liu Gui and Gongsun Qi also glanced at each other, and arched their hands: "The last general also doesn't know anything about this, so he doesn't dare to say anything!" ”

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said to Liu De: "My lord, when I was in Dongfu, there were eight great generals under Guo Zidong, in addition to Pan Jinlong, Kong Hu, Tian Ape, Yan He we saw, Gongye sheep, white wolf, and the fifth leopard who died in battle, there is another person, it is said that this person is in charge of an intelligence organization under Guo Zidong, and his ability to detect intelligence is very powerful, and it is said that he is also quite good at assassination, and has made a lot of contributions to Guo Zidong. ”

Liu De nodded, which reminded him of Che Yan, I am afraid that Che Yan is the killer of this organization, who was specially arranged by Guo Zidong under his own hands and tried to murder him.

"Strategist, do you have any suggestions?" Liu De asked Xu Shu.

Xu Shu also shook his head, he is good at military strategy, political strategy, and wisdom strategy, but he doesn't know anything about this, and he can't give Liu De any good advice.

Liu De stood up, walked around the study a few times, and vigorously recalled the generals under his command, and one person came into his eyes, the god Taibao - Dai Zong.

Dai Zong's position in Liangshan is the head of the chief detective, which is to spy on intelligence, and now he only lets Dai Zong listen to it under the account and pass on letters, which is really a bit of a little useless to him, if he is sent to form his own intelligence organization, I don't know if it will work.

And the rest of the generals are either soldiers, rangers, and mountain bandits, none of them are good material for intelligence, and it seems that there is only one Dai Zong left.

When Liu Gui and the others returned, Liu De summoned Dai Zong again and directly appointed Dai Zong to establish his own intelligence department.

Dai Zong himself was pleasantly surprised, and kowtowed to Liu De and said: "The last general will live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Liu De advised: "Dongyu soldiers are as you choose, I want you to quickly build up the organization, the main external task is to explore a series of intelligence of Guo Zidong, Daicheng Gao's family, and Beiping Yang family, and internally, to guard against Guo Zidong's spies to explore us!" Wipe them out without a single one. If you have any difficulties, just tell me, I fully support you! ”

After listening to what Liu De said, Dai Zong knew that the lord attached great importance to this matter, and tested his own means very much, if it was done, it would definitely be an increase in official ranks, and the glory and wealth would be inexhaustible, if it could not be done, although the lord would not punish himself, but he was afraid that he would pass the letter in the army, and Dai Zong also had ambitions.

"The last general will definitely do his best, please rest assured!"

Dai Zong lowered his head, "Please also ask the lord to give him a name!" ”

Liu De tapped on the table and said softly: "It's called Gong Weisi!" ”

Gong Wei Si, also known as Jin Yi Wei!

After Dai Zong left, Liu De's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, Xi Qiu and Che Yan waited for a long time, and after Jian Liu De's business was finished, they brought the newly heated meal.

Liu Dedao: "It's so late, you both go back to rest!" ”

"We're not sleepy, sir!" Xi Qiu is very conscious of being a concubine, and she also heard that Liu De already has a fiancée, but in Xi Qiu's opinion, this is nothing, which man is not three wives and four concubines, I just hope that the future housewife will not be too bad, and now I am very satisfied.

Che Yan silently watched Liu De finish the meal, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he retreated by himself.

And Liu De looked at Xi Qiu, who was quite delicate beside him, and picked him up directly, after a **, Liu De looked at Xi Qiu, who had been tossed and choked enough, and had already fallen asleep, and then turned on the system.

There are a total of 13680 skill points, after two months of accumulation, Liu De's skill points have broken 10,000 again, with the expansion of the territory, the daily skill points have also increased, and the skill points are not as difficult to accumulate as before.

[Ability Research: Command +5 - Low] has been completed a month ago, there are five times, each increase takes a month, Liu De has already added one on the way, Liu De's current force base value is 50, exactly the remaining four, added in four months, Liu De's command value finally reached 70.

It's really a quick way to increase attributes, Liu De sighed in his heart.

A monarch, in fact, the ability is still secondary, you don't need to be very good at commanding the army, you don't need to be good at governance, you don't need to be good at strategy, you just need you to be good at using talents, let them do their best, loyal to work, it's completely okay, of course, there must be a degree of existence in the heart, will not be blinded by subordinates, this is the most important thing.

Qi Huangong once asked Guan Zhong: "I have some minor problems, I don't know if it will affect the hegemony I planned." ”

Guan Zhong: "What's wrong with you, lord?"

Qi Huangong: "I often can't help but indulge in hunting, drinking, and women's sex. ”

Guan Zhong glanced at Qi Huangong: "No!"?

Qi Huangong: "So what kind of problem will affect the hegemony?"

Guan Zhong said to Qi Huan fairly seriously: "As a king, if you don't know who is virtuous, it will damage the hegemony; appointing a virtuous person but not being able to trust him will damage the hegemony; Although he can trust and appoint virtuous people, he also uses unmeritorious villains to participate in the implementation of his policies, resulting in confusion of responsibilities and mutual containment, which will also be harmful to hegemony. ”

In the end, Duke Qi Huan appointed Guan Zhong as the prime minister, and then became the first overlord of the Central Plains, but after Guan Zhong's death, he gradually forgot Guan Zhong's teachings, appointed traitors, and finally died of illness, the body was placed on the bed for sixty-seven days, and the corpses and insects crawled out of the window before being collected by the new monarch.

Liu De thinks that his ability is average, even if he has the bonus of attributes, he is also a middle-aged person, but he has a system, and he has a famous general in history for him to drive and restrain himself, just like Liu Bang and Liu Bei in history, and finally hegemony can be achieved!

Liu De has always believed that the personality charm of a powerful lord can definitely attract a large number of followers, especially in times of difficulty, asking for money but not money, food but not food, soldiers without soldiers, horses and horses, and there are still a group of loyal subordinates who have been following closely and never abandoned. Liu Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Liu Bei, who started from recklessness, are all like this.

Of course, when the power grows, personal charm will also play a big role, of course, it is inevitable that it will be mixed with interests and become less pure.

Liu De's charisma is now 70, which is already very good, but Liu De still wants to get a [Ability Research: Charisma +5 Medium] to increase his charisma to 80.

Therefore, Liu De's ability research, now he is studying the [Ability Research: Stunt Coercion] behind [Ability Research: Charm +5 • Low], if you want to get charm, you can only study it in the future, although Liu De didn't see what the stunt [Coercion] has to do with charm, but maybe it will appear later!

[Coercion] requires three months of research.

Skill research, it still cost 1,000 gold and 1,000 skill points to start researching [Exercise Gōng nǔ Bing: Mobility Rise] and [Exercise Invention: Enhanced Stone Throwing], the first one has been completed, and [Training Invention: Enhanced Stone Throwing] still needs a month to increase the attack power of the trebuchet.

Through the study of skills, the strength of one's own army will definitely become stronger and stronger, and of course, normal army training is absolutely indispensable.
