As soon as the New Year ended, the people who had been busy all year finally took a long breath, and the soldiers and generals gathered in Bingzhou also rushed to the new station after the New Year.

What is more urgent than the rapid rise in prices is that there are police situations in various places, and many squires and tyrants who miss the old favor of the big man have closed their doors one after another, making the bustling street market in the past a piece of poverty, which is even more fuel to the fire for the already scarce economy. In addition, there are many ill-intentioned people who fan the flames, so that the people in various places who are confused are like followers, and there is a situation that is about to erupt.

The new year was such a bad start at the beginning, in the face of such a rotten situation, Lu Bu also had to reflect on himself, maybe he has been a little reckless over the years, but fortunately, he has saved a lot of money in the past few years, otherwise the situation may be even more unbearable.

In the conference hall, only Lu Bu, Sima Lang and Pang Tong sat in turn, and everyone had already had a profound discussion on the various problems they were facing today, and at this time, they had to scrutinize some details, such as the policy of disarmament and returning to agriculture, such as the idea of recoining currency, and they had to scrutinize some details in place, so as not to cause some unpredictable things to happen at that time.

"Prime Minister, I just received the news that Liu Bei has sent troops to Xichuan, according to the secret report sent by Wang Ling, this time Liu Bei raised 30,000 troops, with Zhang Fei as the vanguard, Guan Yu as the commander, Xu You and Chen Gong as counselors of the army, as of the date of the letter, Liu Bei's army has left Gong'an County for five or six days."

Yang Xiu hurriedly walked in, looking like a dusty man, these days he has been running around, assisting Chen Lin in various places to pacify the people, which can be regarded as doing his best.

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, Liu Bei entered Xichuan? What a person who can pick the moment!

"Who did Liu Bei leave to guard Jingzhou?" Lu Bu was still a little surprised that Liu Bei did not leave Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou as in history, and the defense of Jingzhou was very important, so Liu Bei really felt at ease to hand over his lair to others? If this is the case, then you have to be impressed by this Liu Da'er.

"Liu Bei only left the military advisor Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and a few other generals to sit in Nanjun, and there are no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Xiangyang. Yang Xiu has always been a radical and an absolute opportunist, as long as there is a good opportunity in front of him, he will never let it go.

"No, pass on my military order, so that Wang Ling and Cai Mao can't act rashly. Although Jingzhou is good, but can not solve my crisis, now the economy is withering, the people do not do agricultural affairs for a long time, these years we have waited for a strong army, gathered 800,000 soldiers, almost every family has a middle-aged male to join the army, over the years the dead and wounded are countless, now it has reached the point of hard return, if we do not face up to the problems we encounter, blindly attack the city, I am afraid that we will bury ourselves in the smoke of gunpowder. ”

Lu Bu didn't want to take Jingzhou, if he took Jingzhou, he could step into the south bank of the Yangtze River with one foot, without the protection of the Yangtze River, with only his hundreds of thousands of iron horses, it was enough to sweep the so-called princes everywhere. But Lu Bu couldn't do this, not to mention that there were already many crises in the state, and the defense of Xiangyang alone was by no means easy to capture.

Xiangyang is an important town and a big city, which has always been a battleground for soldiers, just because it guards the Yangtze River and connects the north and south, and is an extremely important strategic location. After many times of construction by countless ancestors over the years, Xiangyang City can be regarded as a majestic city.

Lu Bu clearly remembered that in the Song Dynasty a thousand years later, it was this steel-like city that blocked the barbaric and powerful Mongolian cavalry that swept across the Eurasian continent for decades, making it difficult for them to advance half an inch, and they had to take a detour to attack the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty from the southwest.

Although today's Xiangyang is not as majestic as a thousand years later, it is also one of the most majestic cities today, even if Liu Bei only left more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, it is not easy to break through easily.

"King Jin is right, the situation we are facing now is by no means as simple as internal and external troubles, the princes are just a ringworm on the stock is not to worry about, and the current internal problems are the top priority, if not dealt with in a timely and proper manner, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be the same disaster more than ten years ago, once the trust is lost in the people, it will only be more difficult to reshape the image. In such a situation, if you use war in vain, it will be the way to go against the sky and bring about your own destruction. ”

Pang Tong also did not agree with Yang Xiu's suggestion, in his opinion, now the internal troubles are far more worrying than the external troubles, if one is not handled properly, it may be a success, and the Taiping world is not spared, not to mention this chaotic world.

Yang Xiu didn't understand the truth, but he paid too much attention to gains and losses, so he looked at things a little biased, and at this time, seeing that everyone didn't agree with his ideas, he could only sigh helplessly.

Yang Xiu found that he was becoming more and more unable to understand this lord, since he was canonized as the king of Jin, Lu Bu lived in a simple house on weekdays, and he was no longer as prosperous as before, and there was his shadow everywhere.

On the school grounds, in the barracks, in the palace, in the streets, it seems that he always wants to do everything himself, and he has to see everything in his eyes.

And now Lu Bu lives in the prime minister's mansion every day, and he looks extraordinarily leisurely. Whenever there is a political matter, he always shirks it to Shangshu Province to deal with it on his behalf, and it is difficult for ordinary officials to see him.

Yang Xiu knew that Lu Bu was avoiding suspicion. After proclaiming himself king, the people's discussion of Lu Bu took a sharp turn, almost equating him with Wang Mang. At this special moment, Lu Bu naturally needs an attitude of staying out of the matter.

But at this critical moment, just a few days ago, Lu Bu unexpectedly issued a series of earth-shattering decisions: appointing Gao Shun, the governor of the capital, as the general of Sili, sealing the Marquis of Gaoling, and sitting in Hongnong with fake palm prints, to deter Xiliang Ma Chao, who was about to move to look at Luoyang.

Zhang Liao, the head of the Central Plains Army, was appointed as a lieutenant, the fief was doubled, and 100,000 households were allowed to eat. This is already the standard of a prince and king!

Xu Huang was promoted to the commander of Yan Zhao, took over Gao Shun's previous affairs in Jizhou and Youzhou, and took Yan Liang, the former minister of Jizhou, as his deputy general, so that the two of them integrated the troops and horses, and were responsible for all the major matters of streamlining the troops, so as to reduce the bloated military establishment by half.

Ordered Zhang Jaw to supervise the army in Jingzhou, and Zhao Yun went to Yangzhou. The military has made a big move, so that the military generals of the state are all frightened.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that many of them seem to be marquis and generals, and they look extremely noble and glorious, but in fact, they are really degraded by Mingsheng.

For example, Gao Shun, who was originally the governor of the two states, supplied his own soldiers and horses, and had the right to make decisions on the spot, and could even be said to be a veritable prince.

But after the reward, he only sat in Hongnong as a general, and the soldiers and horses were not his descendants, and his power could never be compared with the past.

Another example is Zhang Liao, since Lu Bu's disappearance, he has relied on him to preside over the Central Plains war, and he is already the second person below Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Group. Now he is appointed as a lieutenant, nominally the commander of the three armies, but in fact there is no direct line.

There may be various reasons for this, perhaps Gao Shun's military power is too heavy, so that the tail is too big. Perhaps Zhang Liao's children are not with him, which puts him in an embarrassing situation.

But Yang Xiu knew that in the final analysis, the most important reason was because of himself, if he hadn't instigated the generals to persuade Lu Bu, or coerced Lu Bu, and put the hidden worry that the general's military power was too heavy in front of Lu Bu, this would not be the result today.

But what Yang Xiu didn't know was that when Lu Bu decided to hold a military parade, Lu Bu already had the idea of changing generals from all over the country, just in case there were people around, so Lu Bu asked them to bring their elites into the city, just so that they would restrain each other and not dare to have two hearts.

The persuasion above the main hall is just adding fuel to the fire.

"The prime minister's desire to dominate the world doesn't seem to be as urgent as before." Yang Xiu said a little discouraged.

Lu Bu smiled and said indifferently: "Flowing water does not compete for the first, only for the gushing endlessly." ”
