Xu Ding had captured the armor and weapons of the Roman army, and he personally attacked the city of Brindisi.

Things went even more smoothly than the city of Naples, and in a short time he captured the city, and arranged for an interception team to capture or kill the Roman troops who had escaped from the city.

After capturing this place, Xu Ding implemented strict control and tightly sealed the news.

He sent people to the east to investigate the information, and then detained all the ships from the north, and selected a group of slave gladiators from them to join the ranks.

After waiting for a few days, I raised and recruited some sailors and captains who would make the ship.

When everything was done, the spies sent to the east returned.

"Commander! The Romans have sent reinforcements to Brindisi, and may have seen through our plans to take this place. ”

Xu Ding looked at the sky, and then ordered: "Come, go and plant a red flag on the hill on the east coast for me, remember to be eye-catching, so that the ships on the sea can be seen, and the Roman troops from the south to the north can be seen." ”

At that moment, someone did what he was ordered, and Xu Ding said to the others: "Half a day later, the army started and crossed directly north to Macedonia, and when we arrived in Macedonia, we began to let go of our hands and feet to do it vigorously. ”

The peninsula is the majority of the Roman Empire, and the symbolism of making trouble here is greater, and the actual situation will be very bad, so Xu Cai wanted to break away from the peninsula and cross north to Macedonia as soon as possible, so he never clashed head-on with the Roman army.

Half a day later, the army marched out, and the people drove the captured ships to the north......

The days of crossing the Adriatic Bend were dull and tedious.

Fortunately, Xu Ding had twelve pastimes, so he entrusted the doppelganger to him, and he returned to the main body.

As soon as he came back, Guo Jia came over to report the latest situation of Dahan, holding the information just sent back from all over the country, Guo Jia was born with a little more worry under his naturally hip-hop optimistic look.

Xu Ding asked: "Fengxiao, what is it that makes you worried, could it be that the princes of the world are jointly preparing to deal with us." ”

"My lord, this is not enough, but the actions of the major princes have been very frequent recently, and they are all undergoing major changes, I am afraid that it will have some impact on our future plans." Guo Jia replied.

Xu Dingdao: "Tell me, what's happened to Dahan recently?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Lord, let's talk about Cao Cao first, this person should be a hero, if he doesn't kill him once, he will be a big enemy in the future, recently his subordinate Liu Ye has frequently contacted Yingchuan people, and now he will pull Chen Qun of the Chen family, Xun Yu of the Xun family, Du Xi of the Du family, Zhao Yan of the Zhao family and others into his swing."

These people actively plotted for him, and Yuan Shu had to give up Yingchuan to Cao Cao, who in turn ceded Jiyin to Zhang Miao, who ceded the southern part of Chenliu County to Cao Cao.

In this way, Cao Cao temporarily evaded the edge of our army and was sandwiched between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.

Of course, I don't think Cao Cao wants to fight Yuan Shao and swallow Yuzhou, but he wants to enter the Guanzhong.

With half of Chen Liu's and Yingchuan County, he can easily stretch out his hand to Luoyang and Guanzhong. ”

exchanging land for land, Cao Cao had a good time.

This is a sassy operation.

It turned out that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu could still border, and they had to face four enemies at the same time, but now that they have changed places with Cao Cao, there is one less enemy.

It's no wonder that Lu Bu doesn't agree.

"It's good, Cao Cao went to fight for Guanzhong, which shows that he realizes that it is not beneficial to compete with me in Guandong, so it is not a bad way to avoid my edge and find another way." To the west, this was originally the direction of breakthrough that Xu Ding chose for Cao Cao, but now that Cao Cao has really done it, there is no surprise for Xu Ding.

However, he suddenly accepted these four celebrity and celebrity wisdom groups, which made people sigh.

It's yours and yours.

Chen Qun, Xun Yu, and Du Xi still became Cao Cao's subordinates.

Historically, these people also joined Cao Cao after he was attacked by Lu Bu and injured his vitality.

These people are all real big families, and they are much stronger than ordinary families.

Cao Cao didn't want to pull them into his team.

It's very simple, Cao Cao also knows the harm of the family, otherwise he would not have used a large number of poor civilians in history, and issued the slogan of meritocracy.

It is because the family restricts him too much, which greatly affects the extension of his power and the rule of the locality.

Facts have also proved this, and the Wei State finally died at the hands of these families.

Otherwise, where did the Jin Dynasty come from.

"What about Chang'an, what happened to Li Ru and Xiliangjun?" Xu Ding asked.

Guo Jiadao: "As soon as Dong Zhuo died, Dong Yue of the Xiliang Army and Niu Fu competed, but both of them were put together by Li Ru, and they both played to death.

Li Ru brought out Dong Zhuo's son, but this person was sick and couldn't live long, so Li Ru wooed Zhang Ji and asked Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu to marry Dong Zhuo's granddaughter Dong Bai, probably because he wanted Dong Bai to give birth to a man so that he could inherit and stabilize the Dong Group.

But I guess his move is too hasty, it will take at least a year to buffer, and the result is not necessarily what he wants, hehe, I guess it won't be long before Guanzhong will be chaotic again, and Cao Cao should also be secretly making trouble, otherwise it will be difficult to get involved. ”

Zhang Xiu's marriage to Dong Bai is really a variable, it is really an embroidery, Li Ru can think of such an idea.

But that's right, there aren't many cards that Li Ru can play in his hand now, Dong Zhuo's son is too weak, plus there is a Dong Jin who came out of nowhere, he just needs to catch Zhang Xiu.

The two fierce generals of the Xiliang Xintuan are in his hands, so that Chang'an and Guanzhong can be temporarily stabilized.

It's just that there are still those three princes and nine ministers in the palace who seem to be about to die, dying, and unusable, and they are not so simple, and these people will not make Li Ru happy.

Like Zhong Xuan, who has hooked up with Cao Cao for a long time, will definitely secretly cause trouble and sabotage, and lure wolves to drive away tigers.

"Regardless of him, we can't interfere in the matter of Guanzhong now, let's talk about other places, except for Yuan Shao who has been digging the corner of Gongsun Chan recently, who else is restless?" Xu Ding knew that Yuan Shao was in contact with the family under the rule of Gongsun Zhan, and there was also a family in Youzhou.

This is not a big secret, after all, Yuan Shao can't be too secretive, otherwise the family will use him as bait.

Without sincerity, no one will cooperate with him.

Guo Jiadao: "After Niu Fu's death, the Baibo bandits in the Hedong region made a comeback and controlled most of Hedong, Liu Bei also sent people to contact the Baibo bandits, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and others took refuge in Liu Bei, and Liu Bei sent troops into Hedong.

In order to fight against the Western Liang army in Guanzhong, the Hedong Wei family, the Fei family, the Liu family, the Xue family and other families accepted Liu Bei, and Liu Bei got a large county, and his power extended to the west. ”

"Wow! Liu Ran took Hedong silently, and after losing Changshan County, he also found a direction to break through, but he always collected these bandits, could those families tolerate him so generously? Xu Ding said with a smile.

You must know that Liu Bei's current rule is said to be a small territory, but there are really a lot of families.

Let's not talk about Hedong, those are all very energetic families, and Taiyuan County also has Shuangwang, Wen, and Guo families, but they didn't hinder Liu Bei.

"Who said no, Liu Bei has made an agreement with them for three chapters, the military is all dominated by Liu Bei's people, and the government affairs are all led by the children of the family, so Liu Bei's rule seems to be peaceful, there are many soldiers and horses, but there is no improvement in the land, the people there don't have a good impression of him, as long as someone lights a fire, it can be burned." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Liu Bei was busy fighting for territory, expanding his military strength, and constantly making trouble for Xingding to support the northern oligarchs against Xu Ding, but he didn't get any benefits from running around, so his rule was very unjust.

It's just that in view of the suppression of the local family and Liu Bei's army, no one dares to stir up trouble.

"I see, forget it, let him live happily for a while, it's not easy for the people, and when we have the ability to take over, Fengxiao doesn't have to detonate in advance." Xu Ding instructed.

Bingzhou is already poor and desolate, and there is no harvest from what is planted in the mountains and rivers, and only the black gold buried in the ground is the capital for their future development.

The population is already small, and in the event of a major turmoil, it is really inappropriate to immigrate there in the future.

Guo Jia nodded, and then said: "Lord, Sun Jian in the south has also been pushing forward in Jingzhou recently, beating Huang Zu and losing again and again, and finally being killed by Sun Jian in Anlu. ”

"What about Jingzhou, how to deal with it?" Xu Ding asked, but there was also a trace of turmoil in his heart, because of his arrival, Sun Jian became stronger in this life, and killed his old opponent Huang Zu.

Now it is still fighting in Xiangyang, and it has the meaning of swallowing Jingzhou.

The big tiger is still the big tiger after all.

I don't have to rest much, I keep fighting.

Guo Jia replied: "Huang Zu's matter can be regarded as a hard blow to Liu Biao, after losing Jiangxia, Xiangyang is always under Sun Jian's attack.

Of course, Jingzhou was taken aback, but Liu Biao was not easy to mess with, he immediately transferred the heavy troops to the south to deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in the north, and worshiped Cai Mao as the capital of the navy to lead the army of 100,000 to the south, and assigned Wen Ping as the vanguard general, and fought with Sun Jian in Yunshe for the first time.

At the same time, he made peace with Li Ru and other Xiliang troops, and the two sides withdrew the soldiers and horses of Wuguan, and Liu Biao was able to regain the lost territory to the south with all his might.

At this time, the two sides should have started a large-scale war on land and water in Jiangxia, and the final result is not predictable. ”

Although Sun Jian was fierce and had many fierce generals, he began to fight Jingzhou and retreated, and he also killed Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu, which was prestigious.

However, Jingzhou is not weak, there are not many fierce generals, and there are more strategists than Sun Jian.

The soldiers and horses are even stronger, about 100,000 sailors, and there are many other soldiers and horses, in front of which are the Xiliang army in Nanyang to defend Guanzhong and Cao Cao in the north and Yuan Shu in the east.

Now the head is going south, and it is enough for Sun Jian to drink a pot.

In addition, it is a local battle, and the location, people, and time are all occupied.

Now the Han River is also a big river, and the water is surging and rolling eastward.

The Jingzhou army was in the upper echelons and was attacking downstream.

Jiangxia will be a vicious battle, besides, Sun Jian has also divided his troops, and the southern counties are guarded by Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan, Liu Pan is impossible to surrender to Sun Jian, and he will definitely fight to the end.

Thinking about it, Sun Jian wanted to take the three counties in the south, and it would take a lot of cost and time.

On the whole, Guo Jia feels that this is half a catty to eight taels.

At the same time, he silently added in his heart, Sun Jian was too anxious.

This thing knows that his starting point is a little low, and he has no sense of existence among the princes, and there is a powerful Xu Ding blockade of the sea mouth, so an inner sense of urgency has always spurred him.

He wanted to kill Liu Biao as soon as possible and sit down to recuperate, so that he could cope with the next new changes.

After all, time is not waiting for me, Xu Ding's changes are too fast, and this future opponent is too strong.

If you don't want to be quickly submerged in the sand, you have to speed up.

"The smart little guys under Sun Jian are probably feeling the pressure, I don't think much of his fight, I don't know if the two sides will fight a protracted war, and Sun Jian can only take advantage of it at most, Jiangxia is estimated to be able to swallow it, and it is difficult to say about Changsha and other three counties.

Not to mention that Liu Biao can not swallow this breath, even the group of people under him probably can't swallow it. Xu Ding smiled:

"I guess it won't be long before Song Zhong, Liu Biao's envoy, should come to us."

Guo Jia said: "Then the lord is going to form an alliance with Liu Biao to deal with Sun Jian?" ”

"I remember when the princes beat us, Wentai made the right choice, and now it's our turn, can we still do foolish things? Let them fight, even if Sun Jian eats Jingzhou, as long as he doesn't make trouble in the south for me, when the north is decided, he will be a dead fish, don't worry about them for the time being. Xu Ding said with a clear attitude, now he doesn't want to fight on multiple fronts.

It's no good to help Liu Biao, and it also disrupts his plan, which is not cost-effective at all.

If I am not mistaken, Jingzhou sent the second largest assassin organization in the world to Qingzhou and touched Weiyuan Island, although it was ultimately defeated and killed, but if it is offended, it is offended.

Moreover, Liu Biao, as a clan, also verbally expressed his dissatisfaction with his promise.

Xu Ding is also a person who holds grudges, although he may not necessarily retaliate immediately, but he remembers.

There is nothing to cooperate with Liu Biao, an old guy who doesn't know how to sympathize with the people, who doesn't know how to use people, and who is still afraid of the inside, what to save, just let him enter the historical process.

"The lord has one last piece of news, Liu Yan of Yizhou died, and his son Liu Zhang inherited everything from him, and then Liu Zhang had a conflict with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and the two also fought." Guo Jia continued, and glanced at Xu Ding when he said this, Xu Ding was not shocked, as if there was no surprise.

Instead, he said in a tone that should have been like this a long time ago: "Finally dead, I thought that Liu Yan, a harmful spirit, would have been a disaster for thousands of years, but I thought that Liu Zhang would lose to Zhang Lu." ”

"Uh...... How do you know again, my lord? Guo Jia sometimes wonders if Xu Ding has other intelligence agencies besides Tianluo.com.

For example, the Blood Shadow Pavilion, although this organization is a killer assassin as its main business, but when it came at that time, it was inexplicably switched to it all at once.

Who knows if there are other mysterious institutions in his own demon lord.

Otherwise, you can't hide anything from him.

Of course, Xu Ding knew that Guo Jia was in his head, and he would definitely be rewarded.

It is easy to say that other places have been affected by self-influence, and many major events have also changed, but Yizhou, which is resting on its laurels, has the least or even very little impact.

If Liu Yan didn't die according to the course of history, Xu Ding would be really depressed.

It's just that this old man didn't jump out of the five elements, he still has to die.

"Let's talk about it, Fengxiao, Yizhou has changed its master, what do you think?" Xu Ding naturally didn't explain much, Guo Jia is too ghostly, and he maintains the suppression of his IQ and information asymmetry.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Master, obviously Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is strong, with Liu Zhang's ability, not only can Zhang Lu not be suppressed, but the family in Yizhou cannot be suppressed, you must know that the family in Yizhou is the real old stubborn, longer than the family in the Central Plains, and has stronger power in the local area."

Therefore, Liu Zhang's needs someone to support him more, why don't we take the opportunity to help him and place people in the major military and political departments in Yizhou, I believe that Liu Zhang has a helper, and he will definitely want to kill Zhang Lu and take back power. ”

"Send someone to support Liu Zhang, who should you send? The person sent must not be too old, and he must also be capable, I'm afraid it's not easy to choose. Xu Ding was also a little difficult for a while.

Yizhou is easy to fight and not easy to fight, the region is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in history, Liu Bei's group was stunned to rely on the land of a state to fight with Wu and Wei for so many years, and finally it was really empty before it was leveled under the sneak attack of Zhong Hui and Deng Ai and others.

If you don't plan ahead and let other princes grab it, this will be a huge obstacle to the future unification war.

Guo Jia smiled slyly and suggested: "Lord, don't we have ready-made people who are young, powerful, and rich in testing?" Lord, have you forgotten who you tossed aside? ”

"Ahem......" After being reminded by Guo Jiayi, Xu Ding remembered that he also had a great apprentice Fa Zheng.

This little ghost who followed Guo Jia to learn bad is still thrown in the Northeast, and it has been several years.

He never came back without his own orders, and suddenly disappeared from the eyes of the world.

If you want to say suitable, there really is no better fit than him.

And when he thought of this, Xu Ding suddenly burst out laughing.

Could this be predestined?

Historically, after Liu Zhang succeeded him as the pastor of Yizhou, because of the war in Guanzhong, he went south to Yizhou, and was soon reused by Liu Zhang.

By the way, who else is going south with him?

Xu Ding thought about it, and then remembered.

"Mengda! It's Mengda, it's this guy. ”

Fa Zheng's talented hometown Meng Dazhong and Fa Zheng quickly voted for Yizhou, and both were appreciated by Liu Zhang.

However, Meng Da is not right-minded and likes to play smart, so he also had contact with Xu Ding and Sima Yi.

"Mengda?" Guo Jia read it, and he didn't remember where he had heard this name.

There is no one in Donglai Academy, and neither are the children of the family who have defected recently.

"Ahem, Fengxiao doesn't have to dig deeper, this Meng Da should be a fellow of Xiaozhi, the two don't know each other, but I heard that he is also a very smart little guy, so I wrote a letter to recruit Xiaozhi This guy comes back, calculate the day he can get married, and send Yizhou after the marriage.

By the way, find the little guy named Meng Da and send it over together. Xu Ding thought for a while and commanded.

Guo Jia replied: "It's the lord, I'll let people contact the Guanxi Bureau, ask them to find Meng Da, and make a plan to negotiate with the people in Yizhou." ”

Xu Ding nodded, at this time Guo Jia hesitated and tangled for a while, and finally bowed to Xu Ding: "My lord still has one more thing to report to you, the last time the Northwest Bureau assisted Lu Bu's people in attacking Dong Zhuo's Meiwu, they obtained a large amount of money and food.

Tuoba Yu of the Northwest Bureau took matters into his own hands, brought food and money into Wudu County, established an army there, and also set up a line with Zhang Lu. ”

"Oh! And this kind of thing! "The junior high school was a little surprised to hear that Xu was a little surprised, the Northwest Bureau is quite good at coming to things, this Tuoba Yu can.

But I soon understood Guo Jia's concerns.

Although Tuoba Yu did a good job, it violated the basic principles of intelligence officers, directly exposing the net of heaven and earth and turning it into a famous line.

Although half of the personnel continued to be lurking, the act of forming an armed group without permission was indeed too reckless and bold.

If you change to a suspicious Shangguan and the lord, you will directly betray him to death.

Who would dare to trust him.

So Xu Ding thought about it for a while before saying: "In this way, remove him from all his positions in the Northwest Bureau, expel him from the organization of the Heaven and Earth Network, let him develop well in Wudu, and atone for his crimes."

By the way, I am giving him a lieutenant rank, telling him to work hard, since he wants to be a general, don't insult my Donglai's grace, I hope that one day he can play his own huge role. ”

"It's the lord, I thank the lord for his trust." Guo Jia was also relieved, there was such an accident, which was also a challenge for him.

Xu Dingdao: "Fengxiao doesn't have to be like this, although he is a little reckless in this matter, but I believe that the starting point is good, and things are urgent, not everyone can follow the rules."

By the way, the matter of Lu Bu's wife and daughter can be handled properly. ”

If I remember correctly, the Northwest Bureau has done a lot of great things, and has also saved Lu Bu's wife and daughter.

The small Northwest Bureau has made many miraculous achievements in the past year.

Guo Jia smiled brightly this time, and replied: "Lord, Lu Bu's wife and daughter have been sent to Lu Bu, Lu Bu originally wanted to send troops into the Guanzhong, I heard that we rescued his wife and daughter, we were very enthusiastic about us, and sent someone to thank the lord, thinking that he would not give us trouble for a long time in the future." ”

"This is about the same, if Lu Bu doesn't even have this bit of vision and sincerity, then he is really hopeless." Xu Ding and Lu Bu can also be regarded as having contact, aside from the fact that Lu Bu loves to recognize his father-in-law and cling to the powerful, he is actually still a lovely person.

It's good for such a person to be a military general, and being a lord is really a big bad thing that harms people and the country.

"Send Gongyou to talk to Lu Bu about the development of the Kanto region in this way, give him and their Bingzhou army a clear positioning, where is the money for their way out and future development, let Lu Bu get to know himself well, and ask Lu Bu, what does he really want?" Xu Ding felt that Lu Bu also needed to guide him well.

Cao Cao wanted to get out of the quagmire of Kanto and wanted to leave from Yanzhou, so couldn't Lu Bu follow suit.

"It's still the lord who is powerful, and he really needs to plan his life with Lu Bu." Guo Jia smiled half-heartedly.
