At this moment, the follow-up reports on the battle of Lujiang were passed one after another, all of them were urgent reports, when Liu Lan knew the whole story, he was really taken aback, the luck of the three of them was too good, how did this capture of Lujiang look like a big luck.

Liu Lan laughed and shared the battle report with Zhang and Wang Xiu who were leaving, at this time someone needed to enjoy the joy of victory with him, and when the two checked the battle report one after another, Liu Lan was thinking about the collapse of the Lujiang city wall, in his memory, the Shouchun city wall collapsed in the Three Kingdoms era The number of times it collapsed was very much, the most famous one was that Zhuge Dan, who was loyal to Cao Wei, rebelled in Shouchun and was finally defeated by Sima Zhao.

But the collapse of the Shouchun city wall is completely caused by heavy rain, but it is difficult to judge the Lujiang River, first of all, if the collapse of the Lujiang city wall is the same as the Shouchun forced demolition and collapse that he knows, then this collapse is mostly a karst collapse, that is, because the rain caused the surface rock and soil to fall downward, and this is completely caused by natural factors.

But he suddenly thought of one thing again, before that, they had used tunnels, and because Shouchun had a moat, the tunnels were dug very deep, and it was said that a lot of groundwater was removed, so the collapse of Shouchun and even the final victory can also be said to be caused by the tunnels they dug before, and this is not natural but the goaf collapse.

Judging from the current information, whether it is Zhang Liao and the three of them who cannot give the reason for the collapse of the city wall, including Liu Lan, it is difficult to make a final judgment, but this matter does not need to be understood clearly for him, he does not have the energy, and the most important thing now is that the two of them go to Xu Du and Yecheng in front of him.

Of course, Guan Yu Shouchun must also be rearranged in the first battle against Liu Lan, with the capture of Lujiang, Liu Lan's strategic purpose has been obtained, and whether he can occupy Shouchun City before Cao Cao is no longer so important to Liu Lan, but since Cao Cao personally led the army to attack Shouchun this time, if he can take Shouchun before him, it will let him take the initiative whether it is for him or for the big war after him.

Cao Cao, who is the master of the Han Dynasty, can even be said to be a man who holds the authority of the Han Dynasty, he personally went out to rebel this time, if the most critical Shouchun and Hefei and even Lujiang County finally came to his hands, then Cao Cao He can be willing, how can these counties in the north of Shouchun fill his appetite?

Although Zhang's idea has a certain amount of truth, but as Yang Hong said, the issues that the princes consider in a matter will definitely not be the same as those considered by the subordinates and the strategists, just like in the matter of Zheng Guoqu, Wang Xiu's consideration must be a normal reaction, but his consideration will definitely not be the same as Wang Xiu, because he is the boss, he does not have so many worries when making any decision, and he dares to do it when he thinks of it, but for Wang Xiu, the first thing they think about will definitely start from the safest and safest. Even if you have a bold idea, you don't dare to make your own decisions, but you have to ask for instructions.

But Liu Lan is different, because he is a prince and Cao Cao is also a prince, so Liu Lan can completely empathize on some issues, just like Zhang's theory now seems to have a little meaning, but this will definitely not be a decision made by Cao Cao.

First of all, he can send someone to seek to send troops to Shouchun with him, then it means that he is very sure that he will send troops instead of refusing, at least in his eyes, the possibility is there, if there is no possibility of success at all, then he will not send someone over, so according to this, Liu Lan can completely empathize, join Cao Cao to refuse Yuan Shao, and even one day to fight against Yuan Shao, so do you need yourself more after having Shouchun or do you need yourself more when you don't have Shouchun?

At that time, Cao Cao wished that he would go to war with Yuan Shao to fight a defeat and hurt him so that he could profit from it, but if Shouchun was obtained by him, and Cao Cao only got several counties in the north of Shouchun, such as Ping'a and Xiquyang, then he would lose a lot of money, unless he promised Yuan Shao to send troops, otherwise, then he would agree to his own suggestion, jointly attack Yuan Shao, or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Liu Lan came to the conclusion that let him take Shouchun, then after his strength grows, what Cao Cao needs is not to help Yuan Shao eliminate himself as soon as possible, nor to help him attack Yuan Shao, but time, to give him time to develop and even grow, of course, in addition to his own development and growth, Liu Lan and Yuan Shao are both defeated and the best choice.

On the contrary, if most of Shouchun's interests are obtained by him, and Cao Cao only gains very few benefits in this battle, and his strength has not increased much, and he still does not have absolute strength to argue with Liu Lan and Yuan Shao in the future, no matter what choice he will make, he will not sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

He wants to take the opportunity to gain benefits for himself, so he must make a choice, either choose to jointly defend Yuan Shao with himself, which is the truth of the cold lips and teeth, or join forces with Yuan Shao to deal with himself, this is to seek skin with the tiger, what kind of choice he will make, it all depends on himself, of course, everything is not absolute, after all, if he follows Yuan Shao to fight himself, it is likely that Shouchun will eventually come to his hands, and at that time he may still have a fight with Yuan Shao.

But since Liu Lan has decided to send Zhang, then he will naturally have his own bargaining chips, for example, at this time Zhang Liao won Shouchun, then Zhang Jaw can directly put Shouchun on the negotiating table in Xudu, to be honest, Liu Lan actually does not have much interest in Shouchun, but attaches more importance to Hefei.

If he is allowed to build, Hefei will put a Zhang Liao, Lujiang will put a Tai Shi Ci, and then put Zhang Jaw in the Whisker Dock, once this iron triangle is formed, only 30,000 people are needed, Cao Cao is more than 100,000 each Don't want to lay down Shouchun, this is the result of Liu Lan's careful calculation, and Xu Shu, Chen Gong, Lu Su, and even the sick Chen Deng, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Zhao.

In the end, a unanimous decision was made, and it was on that day that Lu Su stepped down from his post as the governor of the city and returned to the general's palace, and the three of them, Zhang Jaw, Taishici, and Zhang Liao arrived in Moling to reorganize the troops.

lasted for a month, and finally sent troops to Shouchun, at this time, Liu Lan's heart was full of hope, of course, the premise is that the three of them live up to the trust and can take the lead in seizing Shouchun, then Liu Lan will be able to exchange and even reach an alliance with Cao Cao with Shouchun as a bargaining chip in the future, and this is also the reason why Liu Lan changed his mind and let the three of them go to Shouchun after Lujiang could not be attacked for a long time, at this time Yuan Shu's life and death are no longer important, and the significance of him walking away is not much, the key is this duel after Shouchun, he Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are three people, The only thing is that Cao Cao can't be a spectator, and it's best for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to face off, he should be a spectator, and provide assistance to the weaker side appropriately.

The second is that he unites with Cao Cao to defend against Yuan Shao, so that he will have time to arrange the affairs of the south and digest the vested gains.

"Shuzhi, immediately leave the book for me, order Ziyi, Junyi, and Wenyuan to quickly break Shouchun and end the battle of Shouchun, and then appoint Zhang Liao as the governor of Shouchun, the governor of Shouchun Military Administration, Tai Shici and Zhang Jaw as the lieutenant of Lujiang and the lieutenant of Weixuwu." Liu Lan finished talking about all the appointments in one breath, Wang Xiu heard these news, especially after the appointment of Zhang Liao, which surprised Wang Xiu and even Zhang Du, and he didn't expect that it would be him who these three people would be entrusted with in the end.

But all this, Zhang Liao actually knew about it a long time ago, and even before the start of this battle, Liu Lan had already communicated with him, and even decided to appoint the troops on the second day, but because of Zhang Liao's attitude, he was forced to shelve, and now Liu Lan must be appointed, if Zhang Liao does not accept it, then he will turn to consider Tai Shici and Zhang Jaw, what choice will Zhang Liao make next?

Liu Lan doesn't know, and even what the reaction of Zhang Jaw and Tai Shici will be Liu Lan is also not clear, but he won't care about whether the two of them are convinced or not to accept such an appointment, whether they are convinced or not, they must accept it, Liu Lan believes that Zhang Liao will handle such an appointment well, after all, in another time and space battle, the contradiction with Li Dian and others did not affect Zhang Liao's fame and shocked the world, not to mention that he is the main general, if even Zhang Jaw and Tai Shici can't settle it, then Shouchun doesn't have to hand it over to him.

Of course, he has seen another situation, that is, being seized power by his subordinates, such situations generally do not occur much, but most of them are overlooked, but it depends on the ability and skills of the three of them, the current Liu Lan is not like when Qingxu was still there, there are many positions for them to place, if they are not happy to be the deputy governor, or they have vacated their governor, then the person who failed will obediently come back as a miscellaneous general with no real power, and follow his Chinese army, just like Huang Zhong and Xu Chu to go with him. Of course, if the three of them can have a tacit understanding, it would be the best, I hope that the battle of Lujiang can change.

Such an appointment is very bold, but this is not a trust in Zhang Liao, although Zhang Liao is far inferior to Tai Shici and Zhang Jaw in terms of qualifications, but in terms of ability, Zhang Liao must surpass the two, although in his eyes, these three people are all famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, and they can resist one side, but the order of the lieutenant general must come from one person, not to mention that the two of them are in their own jurisdiction on weekdays, and will not stay in Shouchun, and in wartime, once Shouchun is in danger, then the first to be in danger will be Shouchun or Hefei, then the two must cooperate with Zhang Liao, At this time, Zhang Liao, who was the governor, had the right to command the two, and Liu Lan's appointment was obviously deliberate.

Because in the deliberations at that time, when choosing the candidates for these three places, it was carefully considered, there were only a few people under Liu Lan's account who could take charge of themselves, but now Tianyu in Liaodong has not yet gained a firm foothold, and Yan Zhi is too young, but in his early twenties, he is too tender, so it is not feasible to transfer Xu Huang, the governor of Liaodong, back to Shouchun as the governor.

And Zhao Yun, he has always been the governor of Xuzhou, this position cannot be moved, even if Xuzhou is in the hands of Wen Chou now, even if Xuzhou cannot return to Liu Lan's hands for a long time, but even if the governor of Xuzhou is only in vain, then he has to make an appearance, to show the people of the world, but also to the Xuzhou officials and people who arrived in Moling from Xuzhou, they have not given up Xuzhou, and they will not give up Xuzhou, the governor of Xuzhou and the history of the assassin have been retained, and one day, they will fight back.

And Guan Yu, the chief general of the Setshan battalion, can't move, the key is that there is no more suitable candidate in the army except Guan Yu now, and the prestige is insufficient, and Guan Yu is too condescending to be the governor of Shouchun, here he is convinced that it will definitely not be his battle with Cao Cao in the future, not now, and the same will not be in the future, so the significance of keeping Guan Yu in Shouchun is not so great.

Except for Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, although Zhang Fei has enough qualifications, he can have more than enough to attack, and insufficient to defend, let him defend Shouchun, there will definitely be chaos, he is really afraid that Shouchun will be lost in his hands, how should he punish Zhang Fei at that time, or simply punish himself.

So in addition to these few people, there are only Tai Shici Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao left, although Huang Zhong is not bad, but he has been here for too short, he has no prestige and there are no descendants in the army, and there is no point in going, and in the end, after thinking about it, he can only choose the three of them.

Maybe not the best choice, let alone the most suitable choice, but at the moment, the three of them are the only choice that can be made, Liu Lan has been recruiting talents, and even many talents will stand out in the army every year, but the ability of these talents is not really outstanding, or although their potential in the future is unlimited, they are still too tender now, just like Yan Zhi's situation, give them a few more years, and after twenty-five, six or even thirty, then they will have the possibility of being independent.

This situation is like him and Guan Yu Xu Huang, at Yan Zhi's current age, they are just military horses, in charge of thousands of people, and even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were only a hundred elders at that time, and Xu Huang was only a thousand chiefs, but it was precisely because of that period of experience that they finally grew up and had today's achievements.

Although the fierce general is out of the army, the probability of going from a soldier to a general in the army is still too small, and the success rate is too low, because the battle loss is too large, so Liu Lan will think of the military academy and find talented soldiers for training and study, so that they may not only be capable in the military, but also be able to achieve something in theory, and ensure their success rate.

Now Liu Lan has even directly come up with his set of theories for all the generals.
