Looking at the many Han delicacies on the table in front of him, as well as some Western delicacies. Liu Bei smiled and looked at King Shule.

"I didn't expect to be able to see hometown food here, King Shule really has a heart."

"How dare you." King Shule, who was sitting in the lower seat, hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang has always admired the elegance of the country, and he also loves the food of the country. I have specially sent people to some restaurants in Shangguo to learn the craft, but the learning is not good, if the taste is not good, I hope that your Royal Highness will take care of it. There are also some delicacies from the country and the Western Regions, if your Highnesses don't dislike it, you might as well try it and change your taste. ”

Sun Ce, who has always been informal, has already tasted chopsticks, and Yuan Shao and several others have also eaten. During this time, they have been busy on the road, and although they have served wine, meat and delicacies when they pass through various countries, they have their own calculations. I've been busy planning the future development route and planning ahead to seize the opportunity, so I don't have much mood to enjoy the food.

Now that it had finally come to an end, they had just taken a moment to relax. Between pushing the cups and changing the lamps, the atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

"King Shule, in the future, the four of us will set up a business around here, and I'm afraid I will bother you more in the future." After three rounds of drinking, Yuan Shao, who was in the lead, saw that it was almost over, stood up, and gave King Shule a rare glass of wine.

How dare King Shule slack off, he quickly got up, bowed, raised the wine glass with both hands and bowed his head: "How dare you, it is the honor of Xiao Wang to serve Your Highness." In the future, if Your Highnesses have any orders, you only need to greet them, and the little king will not dare to disobey. ”

There was three compliments in the words of King Shule, but more than that, there was trepidation.

He knew that he looked pretty good, but in fact he was just a piece of meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered. The few people in front of him had already warned him before they came.

If he cooperates, he, the king, will continue to have no worries about food and clothing, and will be prosperous and wealthy. If you don't cooperate, you can die tomorrow and be replaced by another king.

There are only more than 2,000 troops in the country, and all of them are still controlled by others, along with most of the ministers, they have been encircled. He, the king, is actually just an ornament, and he will change it when he says it.

Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this, took a sip of wine and put it down.

Although the king in front of him has no effect, it is better not to move for the time being. After all, they have come here enough to swagger this time, and if they make too many moves, I am afraid that they will provoke the sensitive nerves of Guishan and the Northern Huns even more. The king in front of him could not have been better coordinated.

After the feast, King Shule, the master, left directly and gave the palace to the four highnesses in front of him.

Yuan Shao and the others did not refuse, but they did not rest immediately, but gathered together again after King Shule left.

A huge map spreads out on the ground, and the terrain around the Western Regions is all included. The various fortresses, arteries, oases, forces, forces, and terrain are clearly located on them.

The provider of this map is Yuan Shu, and it is much more detailed than ordinary maps. Even contour lines and color markings are used to make it clearer.

A large area around the Shule Kingdom, including Xiuxun, Wulei, and Wusun, was included in it. This area is divided into four parts, and the regions vary in size.

"This is the place where Yuan Highway has prepared for us?" Yuan Shao asked.

Sun Ce glanced at him lightly and snorted coldly: "Father-in-law asked me to explain to you the situation around here, although you should all know it well, I will still introduce it to you." ”

"The Western Regions, unlike my Central Plains, like the Northern Xiongnu, are mainly based on animal husbandry, but there is no lack of agriculture, which is also our foothold, after all, the Han people under our command are good at farming, and they are not used to grazing."

"The Western Regions are arid and dominated by deserts. Agriculture in the Western Regions relied mainly on rivers formed by the melting of snow and ice in the surrounding mountains. There are many oases where these rivers pass, and the large yellow areas on this map are deserts, and the dots of green are oases that can be planted. ”

"Although these oases are small, there are not many people under my command, and there are enough to plant. As long as it is well developed, food self-sufficiency is not a problem. In addition, the father-in-law will also send some trees and vegetation that are very suitable for planting in the desert cultivated by domestic farmers, and planting these vegetation in large quantities can gradually expand the oasis. ”

"The area on the map is the foothold that our father-in-law gave us after consulting with Shikoku. This area has been divided into four parts by the Father-in-law, and you can choose one for each of you, and the rest will be mine. ”

"Among these four territories, the two areas adjacent to Xiuxun and Wulei in the south are located between the Kushan and the Northern Xiongnu, and the situation is more dangerous. Among them, the terrain of no thunder is more complicated, and most of the mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although Xiuxun is a small territory, the west side is relatively flat, suitable for large-scale foot soldiers and cavalry, and it is also adjacent to Dawan, so you can get a lot of war horses if you operate it properly. ”

The other two territories, located on the north side, both bordered the Northern Xiongnu. The nearest piece of Shule is the largest of the four, with a large plain in the middle, and the mountains on both sides are towering, and only the mountain pass on the west side can be attacked, which is the most suitable for stable development. There is also a small half of the plain in the northwest, and there is a large lake next to it. ”

"That's the case, you have a choice." Sun Ce took a step back and said.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and finally Cao Cao took the lead in speaking: "Do we still need to choose this?" Hasn't Yuan Highway already divided it for us? ”

"The stepfather only gave advice, and the specific decision is still up to you." Sun Ce said lightly.

Yuan Shao didn't say a word, took the pen directly, and wrote a big Zhao character on the land on the west side of Shule.

"I, Zhao Guo, built here."

Cao Cao and Liu Bei glanced at each other, shook their heads slightly, and struck back and forth, writing Wei and Chinese characters on the territory on the west side of Xiuxun and Wulei respectively.

Seeing this, Sun Ce nodded slightly. Step forward and write the word Wu on the only remaining territory.

"Okay, now that you've made your choice, it's decided. I have sent the same map to your camp, and after that we will have to help each other. Ordering someone to put away the map, Sun Ce said excitedly.

"Nature."

Sun Ce knew in his heart that the choice of the three was indeed not unexpected.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao are both biased towards the sword and the sword, vertical and horizontal, and naturally prefer the two territories between Guishan and the Northern Xiongnu, which are complicated.

Among them, Liu Bei's strength is slightly weaker, and the white-eared elite soldiers under his command are good at foot combat, and the mountainous terrain is complex and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Cao Cao's subordinates are mostly cavalry generals, good at quick combat, and there are tigers and leopards to accompany him, and the plain area next to Dawan is naturally more conducive to his performance. And with the buffer of the mountains behind, there is no worry about the back road.

As for Yuan Shao, he naturally occupied the best and largest piece of land on the west side of Shule. Its development method is similar to that of Yuan Shu, and it is all king. Although this place is not easy to defend, the only way to attack it is to attack from the west side. For Yuan Shao, frontal attack and engagement are his strengths, and the halberd warrior is a sharp weapon for the Qing army. When it comes to attrition and protracted warfare, no one here can compare with it.

And the area he chose for himself did not have much advantage, but next to it was a huge lake. Many of his Jiangdong children are the best at fishing, so the logistics are worry-free. Moreover, the overlord iron cavalry led by him and the white horse righteous servants led by Zhao Yun are both cavalry, good at long-distance running, and can raid and harass the rear of the Northern Xiongnu.

Everything is as Cao Cao said before. Yuan Shu had already arranged it for them.
