On the day Liu Lan took charge of Xuzhou, he told everyone in front of everyone that he would not make any personnel transfers, and the original Xuzhou bureaucrats were in their own positions and performed their duties. So appeased one by one, with the support of the Mi family, the Chen family and other Xuzhou clans, the handover was extremely smooth, as for the Danyang army, as early as after the bloody battle of Changjie was greatly damaged, it shrank to a corner, and how dare it raise any objections.

Liu Lan smoothly stabilized the situation in Xuzhou, and then put Tao Qian's posthumous watch, applied for the imperial court, and at the same time made a list of Anmin, after everything was dealt with properly, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief after being busy for nearly half a month.

"My lord."

"Yuan Zhi is here."

In the conference hall, Liu Lan was obviously much thinner due to his busy days, let Xu Shu into the room, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Yuan Zhi, how is the investigation of the traitor?" Now that his relationship with the Tao family is quite delicate, it has become difficult to investigate the traitor, after all, if the pottery merchant does not say it, Liu Lan has no way to force the answer he wants from his mouth for the time being.

Xu Shu shook his head and said helplessly: "The potter's side can't ask, the servant department is the strictest, and it has not been possible to find out so far." After speaking, he looked at Liu Lan and looked at the stack of tall documents placed on the bookcase and said: "This is really in response to the old saying, the more chaos it is, the more chaos it is." He smiled and said, "I came to see the lord but there was another important matter to discuss with the lord." ”

Liu Lan sighed and said: "During the period when Tao Yuanjun was seriously ill, Xuzhou's government affairs have been idle, but it is also heavy to deal with at this time, but fortunately, I have sorted out my clues, but I am not as clueless as when I first started." Saying this, he looked at Xu Shu and said, "I don't know why Yuan Zhi came to discuss with me?" ”

"The matter in front of the lord is put aside for the time being, and the top priority now is to make friends with the surrounding princes."

"Befriend the surrounding princes?"

Liu Lan didn't understand what Xu Shu was trying to express, and said: "The land of Kanto is headed by Er Yuan. The world is commensurate with the north and the south, and Tao Zhijun has always been associated with Yuan Shu when he was reincarnated. And I have a brotherly relationship with Bergui, and I reject the north from the south......"

Liu Lan just spoke. He was hurriedly interrupted by Xu Shu and said: "I don't know what the king said, but the time has passed, Yuan Highway calls himself Xuzhou Bo, and Tao makes Jun Jian when he is in trouble, and now Xuzhou is close to Cao Cao, far away Yuan Shao, if Cao Cao takes advantage of the new lord of Xuzhou to come to invade the territory, then Xuzhou will be Cao Cao's belonging." ”

Liu Lan found that the current situation was very similar to Yuan Shao who was newly acquired in Jizhou, when Yuan Shao used the howl of the fourth and third dukes and the alliance leader to make Han Fu's subordinates serve happily. And at this time, he only had the support of the Xuzhou clan, although the Danyang army supported it on the surface, but he knew in his heart that it was just a disagreement between the face and the heart.

At this time, he has about 50,000 troops under his account, and Xiaopei alone has to garrison 30,000, if Cao Cao or Yuan Shu really comes, not to mention whether 30,000 people can hold Xiaopei, it is a counterattack of the Danyang army, and the 20,000 troops he brought to Xuzhou are enough to drink a pot.

Thinking of this, where can I continue to sit in front of the table. stood up and paced back and forth in front of the table, although countless thoughts flashed in front of him, he shook his head and vetoed them one by one, and suddenly remembered that Xu Shu had come. Maybe he had an idea, looked at him, and said, "I don't know what Yuan Zhi thinks about this matter?" ”

"The lord can go to Eryuan and Cao Cao at the same time. This was a gesture of goodwill to him, but Yuan Shao was at war with Bogui after all. Moreover, the lord and Yuan Shao have fought many times, so it is better for this letter to be ghostwritten by Mi Zizhong or Chen Yuanlong and other Xuzhou clans. ”

Liu Lan nodded slowly. agreed: "This can only be the case, then it is better to act like this." ”

Xu Shu left the conference hall, only to see a person walking not far away, looked closely, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, greeted him, and said, "Brother Yuanda." ”

The caller called Zhao Yu, the word Yuanda, at the beginning of Tao Qian's other work, and was later appointed as the Guangling Taishou, who was killed by Zhenrong in history, but now because of the appearance of Liu Lan, he was forced to go to Guangling in advance so that he did not go to the post, heard people call him, looked at the person, but it was Liu Lan's military teacher Xu Shu, bowed his hand, and said: "It turned out to be Xu Junshi." He watched Xu Shu walk out of a hut next to the conference hall, and said with a smile: "Xu Junshi has just met Liu Yuanjun?" ”

Xu Shu nodded and smiled: "There are some small things to discuss with the lord, but I don't know what Yuan Da came to see the lord?" ”

"How dare you mention some small things."

Zhao Yu said on his lips, but his heart was dark, and he smiled bitterly: "If Yu still asks to see the envoy, he will not delay here, and he will visit him in person another day." ”

Xu Shu arched his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then Yuan Da will no longer be delayed." He said that the conversation changed here, and said: "The lord is not in a good mood, if Yuanda has something important, I am willing to go with him." ”

"Thank you, Master Xu, for your kindness." After Zhao Yu politely refused, he said goodbye to Xu Shu and walked straight towards the conference hall, but Xu Shu looked at Zhao Yu who was far away, but thought in his heart: "He came to see the lord at this time, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Cao Mansion, Cao Hong found Cao Lin in the back house, she was walking with her daughter in the house, saw her father coming, returned the sword in her sister's hand and returned to the boudoir embroidery girl.

In the back garden, there is only this uncle and niece.

After thinking for a while, Cao Hong said slowly: "Niece, I have some words, whether you like to listen to them or not, you'd better listen to them, and in the end, how to make a choice, it's all up to you to decide, no one will force you, first of all, you'd better go back to your home, go to meet your father, and tell him that Xuzhou has changed the day." The officialdom has changed dramatically, Tao Zhou Mu has become Liu Zhou Mu, although my Cao family is second to none in Xuzhou, but it was the Tao Envoy Jun period, your father was in charge of the Danyang Army, and I was the captain of Zhaoyi, but now my identity has changed, and I have become a staff member under Liu Yuanjun's account, don't stare at me, I don't blame your father for affecting me, I just want to tell you that Liu Lan will not deal with your father, at least not at present, before he took charge of Xuzhou, I had a judgment, he wants to control Xuzhou, nothing more than three strategies, If the Danyang Army is just eradicated, then Liu Lan will be nothing more than that, Xuzhou will have to be replaced sooner or later, because the people's hearts are scattered, not only the generals and leaders of the Danyang Army are panicked, but even the officials in Xuzhou will think that he is just a reckless man, so they will stay out of the matter and watch the show. Sit back and wait for him to be kicked out of Xuzhou, I say so. You may not understand, but if you tell your father what I say. He will definitely understand, no matter what, the foundation of the Danyang Army is not your father, but these Danyang soldiers, if Liu Lan really dares to completely eradicate the Danyang Army, you say that even these soldiers who only know what to do can be brutally killed, and such ruthless means Xuzhou officials can not be in danger?

The second is to kill the colonel of the Danyang Army, this strategy is the same as the next policy, but it is a step higher than the previous one. Only kill non-commissioned officers and do not move non-commissioned officers, although it can have a good effect, but the consequences are equally dangerous, the Danyang Army has developed for so many years, but anyone who can be a colonel, the soldiers under the account have already become family soldiers, once these school officers are moved, it is very likely to make the Danyang Army radically change, at that time, whether Liu Lan is counterinsurgency or pacification. Xuzhou is afraid that it will no longer be peaceful, so to put it bluntly, killing the school officials is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it will not solve the Danyang Army at all. So, the easiest way is to kill just one person.

Cao Lin was confused when he heard this, and he didn't know why this uncle, who had always been at odds with his father and even more resentful than his enemies, would say such things to him. But even if he couldn't understand it, she understood her uncle's last sentence. was so frightened that his face turned pale, and said: "Uncle means that as long as Liu Yuanjun kills his father, he can deter the Danyang Army and even completely control Xuzhou?" "Girls don't understand politics. I don't want to understand, but it involves his biological father, but he wants to figure out the current situation more than anyone else, the conspiracy and conspiracy in the officialdom are extremely cruel, extremely disgusting and even disgusting, his close friend Mi Zhen is not just to deal with them The Cao family married Liu Lan as a concubine, just ask the Mi family to even do such a thing of selling women for glory, and what disgusting, cruel and even bloody things can't be done, Cao Lin gritted his silver teeth and said: "Uncle, our family will never be defeated in the hands of the Mi family, let alone ruined!" ”

Cao Hong smiled bitterly and said: "If these words come from Liu Lan's mouth, I will never believe anyone except him!" ”

Cao Lin's eyes were gloomy, if Liu Lan really wanted to stand up for the Mi family, in the current form, no one would be able to save his father and eldest brother.

Cao Hong suddenly said: "You don't have to worry too much, I said these three strategies, it is nothing more than guessing how Liu Lan will deal with the Danyang Army after staying in Xuzhou, but he was unexpected, and he was not in a hurry to deal with the Danyang Army, so I will let you go home for the time being." ”

"Won't deal with the Danyang Army for the time being? In other words......" Cao Lin became excited.

"Yes, I already said just now that the last strategy is to kill, and as far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Lan has chosen the middle strategy or even the best strategy."

"Second uncle, but I don't know what the middle and best strategies are ......"

"The second strategy in Shangzhong is the most test of patience, boil frogs in warm water, eat away at the Danyang Army little by little, and after Liu Lan completely controls the Danyang Army, then come to deal with your father, even if your father is killed, he will not splash a slight, and this best strategy is to kill people with a knife, which is the most common killing method in the officialdom, that is, he solved the trouble of the Danyang Army without doing it himself."

"Who did you kill with your father's sword?"

"Yuan Shao in the north, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in the west, Liu Lei and Zhen Rong in the south, don't be happy, do you think that if Liu Lan really chooses the best strategy, will your father and only son lead the troops to the battle? Niece, I have secretly observed for more than half a month, and found that your father is too big, no, we are all blind, and we all think that Liu Lan is just a reckless husband, but in this half month, Liu Lan has used his power more than a wonderful word? If he didn't choose only one of the upper, middle and lower strategies when dealing with the Danyang Army, but implemented the upper, middle and lower three strategies together, then the result would be the most terrifying! ”

Cao Lin looked up into the distance, and said in her heart that the 'Ruyi Langjun' she married was really such a powerful person? bleak, and said: "If that's the case, on the day my father falls, won't his old subordinates even resist if they don't even resist?" ”

"Xu Tan? Haha, don't look at these Danyang generals who are submissive to your father on weekdays, to put it bluntly, they are all sycophants, but they can share wealth and prosperity, and they will never share hardships, if that day really comes, I dare to guarantee that the first to rebel is these people! ”

Cao Lin's face was surprisingly angry, not to the second uncle Cao Hong, but to the Danyang military generals who were picked up by his father, and gently saluted, "My niece understands, so I'll go back to the house to see my father." ”

"Niece, the second uncle still has the last few words, don't be annoyed, after listening, you can go again." Cao Hong lost his hand and said: "I have to say that this game of chess of the Mi family can be described as a national player layout, since it is time to decide the winner, then the uncle will be blunt with you if he has something to say!" ”

"Second uncle, please speak."

"Do you know why your father sent you to my brother at the last minute?"

"I don't know!"

As I said just now, since it is a national layout, although there is still a son and a breath remaining, although it can't change the general trend, but it can protect the whole family, do you know what the conversation with me was when your father sent you here that day? ”

"I don't know."

"Alas, child, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer you in the future, your father wants you to go to your second brother, and the reason why I let you go to see your father for the last time is just to say goodbye to your father before you leave Xuzhou!"

"My second brother, is he ......?"

"Cao Xuan didn't die in Xiaopei, he's still alive!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Xuzhou Council Hall is elegantly arranged, at this time Liu Lan is sitting behind the low table, and behind him is hanging a geographical map of mountains and rivers, and a bronze cast Rui beast incense burner is placed on the side, and the attack incense rises from the beast's mouth, so that the study is surrounded by fragrance, smelling and calming.

Liu Lan, who kept lifting the pen, was writing a piece of silk cloth paper at the moment, only to see the words 'personnel transfer' written on the silk cloth paper.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, although Liu Lan did not plan to change the Danyang Army at this time, even the officials in Xuzhou did not dare to move at present, but this did not prevent him from completely solving some personnel changes after the Danyang Army, so he had to make a charter first, and it was better than being in a hurry at that time.

The position of the Danyang Army in the book has not moved, Cao Bao is still engaged in the post of soldier Cao, and several captains are still Lu You and Xu Tan, not that he is unwilling to change, and the wall has ears, and he is afraid that this piece of paper will leak out and cause unnecessary trouble.

In the matter of Xuzhou, as long as the Mi family and the Chen family are not chaotic, then the clan will not be able to turn the sky upside down, but if the Danyang army is chaotic, it will inevitably have casualties.

Among the fine-tuned civil officials, it was no surprise that Xu Shu's name appeared on the column of the first row of military priests' sacrificial wine. But in the next column, he thought about it for a long time, and finally crossed out the name of Chen Qun from another family on a piece of silk paper next to him, and still retained Mi Zhu.

After he was engaged in Zhizhong, he originally wanted to write about Chen Deng, after all, the person who was in charge of farming affairs in a county like the Dian Agricultural School Captain, the first person he thought of was Guo Yuan, but after thinking about it, he still didn't cross it out, and Chen Deng continued to stay as the Dian Agricultural School Captain. (To be continued.) )
