Seeing Zhang Liao's reading of the information, Cai Ying's eyes were like water, and she asked: "My brother went to the Western Regions and sent troops to the Northern Xinjiang, just to let Kwantung relax his vigilance and fight with each other?"

Zhang Liao attaches great importance to cultivating several women around him, according to the situation, especially Dong Bai and Cai Ying, Dong Bai is slim and slim, but he likes martial arts, so he asked Dong Bai to follow Diao Chan to practice martial arts, and Cai Ying is like her sister Cai Yan, sensitive and studious, not to lose to the strange woman who can teach such a heavy minister as Yanghu in history, Zhang Liao handed over many documents on weekdays to her to copy, as if to bring out a female secretary like Shangguan Wan'er.

Therefore, hearing Cai Ying's inquiry, Zhang Liao did not hide it from her, and said with a smile: "The Northern Frontier of the Western Regions is an imminent matter, and the deployment of troops to fight is a timely move, not deliberate...... Of course, it is not without the meaning of killing two birds with one stone, the Kwantung court is two old foxes and a wolf, plus a newborn calf, I also want to see how they will fight in the case of losing the threat, but I didn't expect Xiaozhi and Yuanzhi to add a fire in secret, so it's okay, Fengxian lost Xuzhou, and I will be a villain in the future. ”

Zhang Liao saw Xu Shu and Fa Zheng's thoughts very clearly, in fact, if he treated Lu Bu it was also a matter of thought, Fa Zheng and Xu Shu just solved a concern for him.

Cai Ying pursed her lips and chuckled: "Xu Fa and the others are worried about their brother, and they are not in vain for their brother." ”

Zhang Liao joked: "Filial piety and Yuan Zhi are all top talents, he must be an important minister one day, I don't know which one Xiao Yinger can fancy me?" ”

Cai Ying bit her lips lightly, looked up at Zhang Liao, her eyes were full of admiration and tenderness: "In terms of talent, who in the world can compare to Brother Wenyuan." ”

"Ahem...... Hahaha! It's over! It's over! Zhang Liao choked on tea, looked at Cai Ying's serious and lovely appearance, and couldn't help laughing.

In fact, he is still self-aware, if he does not have the vision and insight of the two worlds, he is at least inferior to Fa Zheng and Xu Shu in terms of strategy, not to mention the unparalleled in the world.

Of course, for a lord, vision and pattern are more important than strategy, Zhang Liao to his current status, he often only needs to point out a direction or set a decree, and then put the right person in the right position, specific affairs, these professional leaders will do better than him.

However, Zhang Liao also sighed a little, Cao Cao is considered to be eloquent, and the reason why he was disgraced by Lu Bu was because he despised Lu Bu too much, but even so, if there was no Fa Zheng and Xu Shu design, Lu Bu would never be Cao Cao's opponent, maybe he would have lost Xuzhou in ignorance, and he would only be played by Cao Cao. The only thing Cao Cao didn't expect was the mixing of Fa Zheng and Xu Shu.

Cao Cao's plot against Lu Bu can also be said to have fallen into his conspiracy, perhaps Cao Cao also knows in his heart that he has to plot Lu Bu, in today's general trend, Zhang Liao's trip to the Western Regions is Cao Cao's only chance. If you don't seize this opportunity, after Zhang Liao returns to Hedong, he will go his own way with the intrigue of Kanto, and defeat will be inevitable.

If Cao Cao can be given a chance to annex Lu Bu and seize Xuzhou, then Cao Cao will soon be able to control the overall situation in Kwantung, but unfortunately Zhang Liao will not give him this opportunity.

Originally, Zhang Liao still admired Cao Cao a little in his heart, so when he caught and released Cao Cao in Xingyang, and later summoned Cao Cao into the court, he was inclined to cooperate more. But the more he reached this position, the more Zhang Liao found that in the process of competing for the world, there is no room for mercy, and the difference in one thought will harm not only himself, but also countless friends and subordinates who follow him.

If he still needed to use Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei to stir up wind and water in the Kanto region before, now he has unified Guan Liang, reopened the Hexi Corridor, pacified the northern Xinjiang, and the places under his jurisdiction have also undergone several years of cultivation, the soldiers are well fed, and the general trend has been achieved, there is no need to release these princes, and the time is ripe to send troops to the Kanto region and pacify the world!

Zhang Liao's eyes drooped slightly, his fingers knocked on the desk, and ordered: "The herald and the military divisions go to the council hall." ”

……

The cold wind is howling, the dead wood is swaying, the western boundary of Yuzhou, on the ancient road of Huangchen, a group of people and horses are walking in a circle, and it is the Son of Heaven who is protected in the middle.

Liu Xieqiu's clothes were bloated, sitting in the car, looking ahead, his expression was blank, and his eyes were empty. He, the son of heaven, ascended the throne in the sixth year of Zhongping, and has been in exile, from Luoyang to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Hedong, from Hedong to Luoyang, from Ruoyang to Rencheng, from Rencheng to Jingzhou in front, without a moment of peace.

No, there was a time of peace, and that was when I was in Hedong.

Liu Xie is naturally a wise and wise man, but at this time, the strong remorse is biting his internal organs like poisonous ants, making him almost unable to breathe, and he can't wait to jump out of the car at once! Since he arrived in Rencheng, he has not been immersed in remorse for a day, hating why he listened to Dong Cheng's slander to murder Zhang Liao, so that he ended up like this!

Looking back now, compared to Dong Zhuo's ferociousness and domineering, Li Dao Guo Yan's ferocity and supremacy, Zhang Liao is really loyal and unparalleled, during Zhang Liao's auxiliary government, he, the son of heaven, is the most comfortable, not only does he not have a sense of crisis, but also often goes to the countryside and enters the county, without any constraints.

At that time, the reason why Liu Xie listened to Dong Cheng's words and murdered the general Zhang Liao was because he felt that the courtiers respected Zhang Liao more than him and thought that Zhang Liao threatened his position, so he decided to deal with Zhang Liao and chose Cao Cao, who was "loyal" to the imperial court. But when I arrived in Yanzhou, I knew that Cao Cao was a loyal minister? The ferociousness and domineering in his bones are by no means under Dong Zhuo! He was terrified every day in Rencheng, which was a world of difference compared to when Zhang Liao was there. And Yu Poison, who he worked so hard to win over, didn't have any loyalty at all, and his uncles and cousins who wanted to be reused were all mediocre talents, and they had already turned into loess in the chaotic war......

The organs are exhausted, but they ended up like this, and now the future is unclear, what will happen when they arrive in Jingzhou? It's hard to predict. How could Liu Xie not feel remorse and resentment in his heart, and even resentment towards Dong Cheng, who had been dead for more than a year. Because he had already realized that the calamity brought by the plot Zhang Liao was far more than that, what really made Liu Xie feel frightened and helpless was the courtiers' centrifugation of him.

In fact, since the Son of Heaven Liu Xie conspired against the general Zhang Liao, the imperial court has changed a lot. The general Zhang Liao's dedication to Liu Xie's assistance was well known, and even his political enemies had to admit it, but Liu Xie turned against Zhang Liao, which made Yang Biao's courtiers who were originally loyal to the Han Dynasty feel cold, not to mention other courtiers and even famous scholars.

After Liu Xie murdered the general Zhang Liao, the Han family had lost the last bit of people's hearts and spirit, which is also the ruthlessness of Li Ru's original "plan to overthrow the sky", which is the real overturning of the sky. If Liu Xie trusted Zhang Liao and didn't make a move, then the plan would be useless, but unfortunately Liu Xie made a move, burying the strength of the big man.

Guarding Liu Xie's car was Liu Bei's personal guard commander Chen Dao, Yu Poison was broken, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were in front of the team, and the group was tired.

Looking at the sunset on the horizon, Liu Bei pointed straight ahead with a horsewhip, and his face showed a slight joy: "The front is Nanyang, Jingzhou is in sight, presumably Liu Jingsheng is not far away." ”

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and said, "But I don't know if Liu Jingsheng welcomes the car driver to wait with me?" ”

Liu Bei looked calm: "Liu Jingsheng is a relative of the Han family, how can he not serve the Son of Heaven?" ”

Zhang Fei hummed on the side: "The eldest brother carefully assists the Son of Heaven, but I don't know if he will end up with the same fate as the fourth brother!" ”

Liu Bei frowned: "The third brother is talking nonsense!" ”

Guan Yu was silent, in fact, he and Zhang Fei both knew that in the process of the Son of Heaven murdering the fourth brother Zhang Liao, although Liu Bei, who was the elder brother, did not help the fourth brother, although the love between the three of them was still very deep, but Guan Zhang and the two always felt that there seemed to be more estrangement between them and Liu Bei, and they transferred this anger to the culprit Liu Xie, so that Guan Yu, who had always been loyal to the king, was very dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven.

The three brothers were thinking about each other, and suddenly the spies in front came to report: Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao came to greet him, and Xinye Zhang Xiu accompanied him.

Liu Bei and the three looked up, only to see smoke and dust rising from the end of their field of vision, and a group of people and horses came from afar.

In the winter of the fourth year of Jian'an, the Son of Heaven drove into Jingzhou, worshiped Liu Biao as the Taifu, led the Jingzhou pastor, and recorded the Shangshushi, Liu Bei was the Situ, the leading hussar general, the Yuzhou pastor, and the Lu Shangshushi, and Yu Poison was the general of the chariot and the Yanzhou pastor, and Zhang Xiu was the general of Wei. He also worshiped Sun Quan as the Marquis of Wu, the former general, and the pastor of Yangzhou, and worshiped Liu Zhang as the general of Zuo, and the pastor of Yizhou.

In the spring of the fifth year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao, the Duke of Jin, launched the left, center and right armies and went south to conquer Cao Cao. Zhang Liao personally set out to fight, sitting in the Chinese army, with Zhenbei General Gao Shun as the middle road, leading 10,000 elite heavy infantry and heavy cavalry each, sending troops from Hanoi, from Guandu to the south, Xu Huang for the left road, Zhang He for the right road, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses south to Yanzhou.

Cao Cao, who had just defeated Lu Bu and was licking his wounds, couldn't help but be shocked, but he could only rush to the battle.
