"If you don't take it, you will be blamed!" Song Shijiang gently stroked the short hair under his chin with his left hand, pacing left and right in the hall, thinking carefully.

Let's talk about the situation in Yanzhou, Yanzhou has jurisdiction over Shanyang, Chenliu, Dongjun, Rencheng, Taishan, Jibei, Jiyin, Dongping eight counties, of which Shanyang, Dongjun, Chenliu, Jiyin four counties are large counties, these four counties are densely populated, the family gathers, and the people are rich; The remaining Dongping, Rencheng, Jibei, Taishan four are not small counties or feudal countries, the population is sparse, the people are poor and the country is weak (Taishan County is slightly richer than the other three counties), but also because of poverty and weakness, persimmons pick up soft pinch, these four counties have been repeatedly invaded by the yellow turbans, invaded the city and occupied the county, dilapidated and desolate. Nowadays, Shanyang Changyi is the seat of Yanzhou Prefecture and is controlled by Liu Dai; Chen Liuben was too guarded by Zhang Miao, but now he is controlled by Cao Cao; Jibei Kingdom is occupied by the Yellow Turban thief Kou Guancheng; Taishan County was swept by the yellow scarves and plundered, devastated and chaotic, each with its own affairs, and thieves everywhere. What about yourself? It only occupies a Dongping County, this county is restructured from the kingdom, with the urine of the Han Dynasty to the princes, how can Dongping County be vast, there are only five counties under its jurisdiction, the number of people is scarce, only more than 100,000, almost the same as the soldiers and soldiers under the command of Song Shijiang, the ratio of soldiers to people is one to one, which is a deformed development. Well, counting Qiao Mao's Dongjun, this Dongjun said that it was to be given to Song Shijiang as a dowry, but Qiao Mao didn't die, and everyone's daughter Da Qiao didn't get married, so it can only be regarded as an empty account at present.

Song Shijiang is moved, since he has decided to compete in the Central Plains and dominate the world, he can do a state assassin history and go to the next level, which one would be unwilling? But is it possible to do this Yanzhou assassination history with such empty hands? What about the site? What about the population? What about prestige? What about other people's admissions? What about the canonization of the imperial court? You should think that there is a Liu Dai in your hand, and a thorn in your hand is enough.

Song Shijiang frowned at his long thick eyebrows, shook his head and said: "Fengxiao, Chen Gong, go to the next level, and you have a certain heart." However, rashly claiming to be the governor of a state is empty of its name, and there is no reality, which is probably inappropriate. What's more, since it is called the history of assassination, it will be a big move, and it is really unwise to provoke covetousness. ”

Guo Jia and Chen Gong glanced at each other, but they laughed. Guo Jia bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "The lord's concern, Chen Gong and I have been thinking about it last night. Jia listened to Chen Gongyan, and the lord originally planned to 'accumulate grain and slowly become king'. Jia thought it was a good plan for this, but it was not very good. Those who say that they are good, secretly accumulate strength, and after three years, they are amazing. Those who say that they are not very good, rest on their laurels, stand still, the rest of the princes' honor is increasing, their prestige is becoming more and more obvious, and people of insight in the world know their reputation and ambitions, and they are not as good as rushing to it; In the long run, we will be left behind by the rest of the princes. Although the lord cannot be called the king, he should keep pace with the times! ”

Song Shijiang pondered Guo Jia's words and thought so.

Guo Jia continued: "If the lord is a assassin, although he may be coveted by the strongmen. However, there are many advantages, one is that he can stand on an equal footing with the rest of the princes and talk on an equal footing; Second, the martial arts talents in the world will be able to hear the lord and vote, and the lord will have enough officials and lords to wait for the vacant position, so that he can increase the army and expand the government and the territory. ”

Song Shijiang listened to Guo Jia's analysis and nodded even more. Both of these points said that his heart was on the line. As for the first point, Song Shijiang was deeply humiliated. I think that at the beginning, the princes of the Twenty Roads gathered in righteousness, in order to crusade against Dong Zhuo, it stands to reason that they should be treated with one heart and one mind, but because they are just a county order, no, they are a county magistrate, although there are many soldiers, the soldiers are strong, the famous generals take the pass, and the merits are turned a few times, but in the eyes of the rest of the princes, he is a little person who cannot be put on the stage, and he sneers at himself and disdains. Regarding the second point, Song Shijiang also deeply agreed, it is very realistic, talents from all over the world defect to you, and they are all counting on being able to show their ambitions, be promoted and make a fortune, and shine on the lintel. Whether it is the reward and space given to him by the assassin Shi is greater, or the support that the county guard can give is greater, the answer is clear at a glance. For example, there are so many civil and military generals under his account, who doesn't want to go to the next level, they are all county guards, how can they go up?

He stroked his short hair under his chin, looked at the two strategists, his eyes were like torches, and he said resolutely: "This Yanzhou assassin Shi is decided." No, don't do it, don't do it, just do Yanzhou Mu! ”

Guo Jia laughed, and said in unison with Chen Gong: "The lord is domineering! He who is the master of others should not dare to do it. Haha......"

Song Shijiang also laughed with his head high, full of pride, and shouted: "What about Yanzhou Mu? It's just a one-level climb, and a certain Song Jiang is definitely more than that...... "He really wants to scream, what did I do when I crossed over to the big man?" What did I do when I brought the heroes of Tiangang and Liangshan to this big man? I came to Qingping to sweep the heroes of the Central Plains, what is a state, this Yanzhou is a small step, I want the thirteen states in the world, I want the sea of stars, haha, Song Shijiang's thoughts are flying, and his soul is flying in the sky.

It took a while to come back to his senses, and he immediately thought of the current situation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Two military advisors, how can you be Yanzhou Mu?" ”

Guo Jia and Chen Gong smiled, glanced at each other again, and then said in unison: "The lord is worry-free, since the two of us talk about it, we naturally have a plan." ”

Song Shijiang was overjoyed and said anxiously: "How to plan, let's talk quickly......"

Chen Gong stood up straight, holding the back of his sleeve and behind him with his right hand, gently stroking his beard with his left hand, and said with a smile: "Lord, the lord is worried about nothing more than one of them, appointed by the imperial court, and the name is justified; second, occupy Yanzhou, worthy of the name; Third, the princes recognized that the name and etiquette were smooth. ”

Song Shijiang said anxiously: "It's the pole, it's the pole, that's exactly it." Now we only have one county, but it is difficult to become the lord of a state. ”

Here Guo Jia raised his hand and shook it gently, the wide Confucian sleeves moved with the swing, and he chuckled: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult...... Lord, you and I can plan and know one by one. Let's talk about one first, now that Liu Dai is in my hands, this person is cowardly and spares his life, he only needs to work hard to ensure that his life is not harmed, and he will definitely be able to give Yanzhou away, issue a notice to pass on the seal, and the water will become a ......."

Song Shijiang listened intently.

"Furthermore, let Liu Dai write a book, play it to the court, and wait for the court to allow it. The position of the lord Yanzhou pastor is naturally justified. Guo Jia continued.

"Bonghyo is easy to say. How could the imperial court easily agree? How can such a feudal official teach it privately? Dong Zhuo's traitor will definitely consider it. Song Shijiang shook his head.

Guo Jia laughed and replied: "Lord, Chang'an will not agree easily, but it needs us to operate actively. Today, Jia and Chen Gong recommended a person to the lord to help the lord complete this matter. ”

"Oh! Who and what kind of talent came to help Jiang? Song Shijiang was overjoyed.

"This person is the Situ Wang Yun clan, and the lord has already seen it." Chen Gong introduced.

"Who?" Song Shijiang was even more curious, staring at him and asking.

"Yanzhou Marching Sima Wang Ji Sheng, Wang Yun's nephew, familiar with the scriptures and history, strategic, loyal and righteous, once served as Liu Dai's envoy and met with the lord's guild, and now he is detained in our army. Last night, the palace had a conversation with him, and this person admired the spirit of the lord and was willing to vote for the lord. …… He can make it happen. Chen Gong said with a smile, "Now Wang Qiu is waiting outside the hall, and the lord can see it." ”

Song Shijiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Call Wang Qiu to enter the hall quickly." ”

Before long, a middle-aged Qingjun scribe appeared in the hall, and the man leaned over to give a salute, respectfully but without losing his bearing, and said clearly: "Wang Qiu has seen Song Taishou. ”

Song Shijiang stepped in front of Wang Qiu, his eyes were deep, carrying coercion, looking directly at Wang Qiu, but his mind kept searching for information about Wang Qiu. Can there be such a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms? Suddenly, a sentence came into Song Shijiang's mind: Liu Dai and Qiao Mao were evil to each other, Dai killed Mao, and Wang Qiu led the Dongjun Taishou. However, this sentence is not from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Yes, yes, this is the person, according to the normal trajectory after Qiao Mao's death, it was this Wang Qiu who took over as the Taishou of Dongjun. Haha, Wang Qiu, I'm sorry, the appearance of a certain Song Shijiang has cut off your dignified road. Thinking of this, Song Shijiang's eyes softened, showed a smile, and said, "Ji Sheng, are you willing to descend to a certain place?" ”

Although Wang Qiu was leaning over to give a salute, he also looked back at Song Shijiang, with a calm face, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Ji Sheng is willing to surrender." I also talked with Chen Gongchang last night, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses for the Lord and give the benefits of my minions. ”

Song Shijiang laughed, stretched out his hand to hold Wang Qiu's hands and said, "Ji Shengzhu is a certain person, but he is like a tiger with wings." Thou shalt be loyal and righteous to a certain person, and a certain person shall not live up to thee. ”

Wang Qiu smiled and said: "I have met several times, and I have seen that the lord is eloquent, wise, brave, benevolent, righteous and loving the people, and corporal Lixian, such a master, there is no one in ten thousand." Ji Sheng's encounter is the luck of heaven, how can he not be loyal and obtuse? ”

Song Shijiang tapped Wang Qiu with his finger and said with a smile: "I thought Ji Sheng was upright, but didn't expect Ji Sheng to be clever and tongue-in-cheek, haha......" After joking, Song Shijiang talked about business and asked: "The former, did the two military advisors talk to Ji Sheng?" ……”

Song Shijiang asked vaguely, but Wang Qiu naturally knew what was going on, and he replied: "Lord, Wang Qiu is willing to help the lord accomplish this." He shook his head lightly, sighed, and said: "The minister does not say that the lord is evil, but Liu Dai is mediocre, pedantic and incompetent, and he really deserves to be the governor of a state." If Liu Dai is willing to give up the position of assassin, Wang Qiu is willing to go to Chang'an to find a certain uncle, Situ Wang Yun, and persuade him to lobby Dong Zhuo, and approve the performance......"

Song Shijiang was overjoyed and shouted: "In this way, it is hard work for Ji Sheng, and when he succeeds, he will make a great contribution to Ji Sheng." ”

Wang Qiu smiled faintly and said, "The lord is not afraid that Wang Qiu will enter Chang'an and never return?" ”

"Haha......" Song Shijiang stared at Wang Qiu, laughed domineeringly, and said, "What are you afraid of?" You are a bright-eyed person, and you know where you can show your talents. Could it be that Chang'an can't do it? The Han family is declining, and the imperial power is next to it? ”

The smile on Wang Qiu's face finally became more obvious, and he shouted clearly: "The lord is powerful and domineering, and the humil is convinced...... Then, when will I get up, but go now? ”

Song Shijiang said with a smile: "Don't worry, Ji Sheng, wait for everything to be settled, wait for Liu Dai to give Yin Xin, wait for you to eat a certain wedding wine, and then it's not too late to set off." …… Oh, also, when you go to Chang'an, be sure to find someone, this person's name is Yan Qing, and everything can be discussed with him......"

Wang Qiu shook his head and replied, "Oh! ”
