Jinyang, Command of the Northern Military District.

"That's what it means, we can only do this, we have to work with those nineteen tribes. Create a common defensive area. Let it settle down there. Zhou Cang said.

"It's still a war with our enemies." Pei Yuanshao said stubbornly.

The information provided by the intelligence department made Pei Yuanshao very annoyed, they had been fighting with each other before, but now, they were cooperating. This made it difficult for Pei Yuanshao to turn around.

"I know, it's hard for you to turn around, but it's an order. Moreover, this is a political demand, and the future theater of operations will be in the south, not in the north, and the focus of the north is on defense. Zhou Cang explained.

"Fight with our enemies, who knows if they will betray us and give our backs to such people. I, Pei Yuanshao, died, and I don't know how the other party sold it. Pei Yuanshao said angrily. For the political, diplomatic kind of negotiation needs. Pei Yuanshao is difficult to understand, he thinks that there are too many twists and turns like that. This will cause him a lot of harm, so he himself is against such a thing as much as possible, but the opposition has no solution to the problem, which makes him feel very incompetent.

"Okay. What do you think about such a thing? Maybe I can't explain what is necessary. Zhou Cang said with great difficulty. Bae Yuanshao does not have much political sensitivity. He is just a commander who can fight, and his operational command ability can only be shown on the scale of operations at the regimental level, and if he is given an infantry division, the problem will be very wrong, because he himself is always in the front line commanding operations, and he has a headache for this.

Pei Yuanshao lacked too much in military qualities. He only stays at the tactical level, which is extremely narrow for his future development path, and I am afraid it will be difficult for him to further promotion. There is a lack of a more strategic perspective. Instead of solving most of the problems from a higher position, he can only fight one battle, not a larger one.

Pei Yuanshao also lacks political vision. His understanding of politics and military intelligence is not very strong. Maybe he didn't take in much. In such a situation, he simply cannot face more problems in the future, which is why he has been in a very disadvantageous position.

"If you need to fight, I can send you to some infantry regiment in the South, where there is a shortage of officers like you." Zhou Cang thought for a while and said. Maybe keep fighting, this is the best destination for Pei Yuanshao.

"I don't want to go, I'll stay here all the time, this is the old army we built ourselves, go to other troops, are you going to drive me away?" Zhou Cang asked.

"No, I didn't mean that, my idea was, there's a fight there." Zhou Cang said.

"There's also fighting, and there's horseback riding. I, Pei Yuanshao, will not always be an infantryman. Pei Yuanshao said stubbornly. Then turn around and leave. Zhou Cang was extremely troubled by the stubbornness of this companion. He always did. He seemed extremely annoyed with the northern mongrels. In particular, the cavalry operations hit him very hard, and the infantry basically did not attack too far in the north. Most relied on cavalry. And infantry commanders like Pei Yuanshao will become useless, because their maneuvering methods are very slow. This is very depressing for Pei Yuanshao, he has always wanted to defeat the other party, and grabbed the other party fiercely. A strong sense of revenge made him very restless.

Zhou Cang wanted to transfer the other party to the south, where there were still some places to fight, but the situation was that he would not go. He stubbornly rejected such kindness, in his opinion, only by completely defeating the other party can he become at ease, as for the rest, he didn't care at all. In short, he is such a person, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Pei Yuanshao has too many character flaws. And the temper is extremely stubborn. Many people simply can't change his will.

Zhou Cang shook his head helplessly. He still has to face many other things, such as building an army and a parliament after forming an alliance, and how to fight after forming such an alliance to maintain their current dominance in their current territory, etc.

The IRA supported the alliance of the 19 tribes, and the IRA provided weapons and some logistical supplies. Most of the weapons are cold weapons. These weapons of the Republican Army could only be carried out by small workshops, because the big factories considered such products to have no technical content at all. It also requires high labor costs to manufacture. Most factories use iron molds. It is unlikely that they will be able to maintain such a line of weapons exclusively for the nomadic tribes of the north.

Therefore, most of these weapons can only be handed over to small workshops.

Some of the logistical supplies, the IRA supports the provision of some paper money, a large number of purchases are still dependent on the other side to buy, armor, stirrups, food, their food is all being changed, for example, jerky is replaced by canned food, cheese, and milk powder provided by the Republican Army, and the same is true for medicines, this is the promise of the Republican Army.

In fact, Zhou's plan was for the Republican Army to lead an active offensive operation. This will ensure the Republican Army's superior position on the front to the greatest extent. But the problem was that most of the nineteen allies were reluctant to give the Republican Army some command. In their view, obeying the IRA would be very unaccustomed to these unruly northern nomads.

The IRA, taking into account the stability of the situation in the north and the fact that they did not want all sorts of troubles, agreed to such an outcome. For what kind of trouble they will encounter. The IRA doesn't care too much, as long as these issues don't shift to the IRA. As for the rest, they really don't care about that, after all, the relationship with them is really not too big.

The attitude of the IRA is to hide in the background, because they do not think that they have much need to go to the front to deal with such situations, because it is a very trouble for them, and this trouble will make them extremely uncomfortable. But getting out of such a situation would be more beneficial to the IRA.

So, for the matter of the alliance of nineteen tribes in the north. The IRA is trying to avoid being overly involved. The Republican Army will not think too much about what kind of situation this will produce, the reason is very simple, the nineteen tribes do not like too much foreign interference, and the Republican Army will naturally settle quietly.

Li Jiazhuang, inside the War Department.

"Counter-plotting?" Shang Wu said as he looked at the information provided by the intelligence department.

"Yes, Dong Zhuo told us that they planned to bribe Lu Bu to assassinate Ding Yuan, and the price of doing so was the most cost-effective. At the same time, they can also collect the state soldiers, after all, the state soldiers are still very capable of fighting, and their combat effectiveness is also extremely amazing, and the state soldiers have lost their foundation and can only rely on Dong Zhuo, so that they can have a better way out. Jia Xu analyzed.

Shang Wu thinks that the analysis makes a lot of sense.

"Do you think that Lu Bu will kill Ding Yuan and join Dong Zhuo?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu.

"As long as you offer enough price codes, you will definitely do it, and you won't do it, just because the price code is not high enough." Jia Xu said so.

Sangwu already knows what happened in history. Lu Bu will definitely do this, but what Jia Xu said is very reasonable, as long as there is enough price, some people will still buy it.

"It seems that we still need to prepare some things ourselves, and at the same time prescribe more conditions." Shang Wu said.

"We should take this opportunity to expand the scale of our trade." Jia Xu said.

Expanding the trade scale of the Republican Army is the most important thing, so as to shorten the distance between the Republican Army and Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo will inevitably do this in order to get more support, which is the most beneficial result for Dong Zhuo. After all, this kind of thing can help him solve many, many practical problems to the greatest extent, and these are some of the situations he needs most.

"Well, it looks like we have to do it. To expand the scale of our trade, I think, Dong Zhuo will not refuse. Shang Wu said.

This is the requirements of the Republican Army, their requirements do not seem to be very high, but this is extremely important to the Republican Army, which means that the scale of trade of the Republican Army increases, and at the same time, Luoyang is an extremely important market, and his radiation range is very extensive, which is extremely satisfying the needs of the Republican Army, which is a place that cannot be met elsewhere. Shangwu naturally wanted to get such a place.

"I can write a letter expressing my desire to cooperate in this regard." Shang Wu said.

Jingshi, Luoyang. Inside the headquarters of the third line of defense.

"Boom." A bloody head man is on the ground.

"Lu Bu visits his father-in-law." Lu Bu wore armor all over his body and knelt respectfully below.

Dong Zhuo also looked at the head on the ground, which was very blurry. But many people have confirmed that it is Ding Yuan's head.

"My son is the first, please get up quickly." Dong Zhuo personally came down and helped Lu Bu up. Then he looked at Ding Yuan's head. Make an unpleasant "haha" sound. At this moment, Dong Zhuo was very happy, because he finally gained a firm foothold in Luoyang, the center of the empire, and there was no other force to fight him. He could do a lot of things he hadn't thought about before, and for him, he never thought of it.

Who would have thought. He was just a local official before, and no one else would look at him squarely. But now. He felt very comfortable, unprecedentedly comfortable, and at this moment the world was his.

Lu Bu also felt that he had made an extremely correct choice.
