Chapter 1886: The Battle of Shouchun (167)

Monarchs and ministers are suspicious of each other, the way to take chaos, as a later generation, Liu Lan will not really make trouble for himself, in fact, more people only know that Chen Guo, the spy leader next to Liu Lan, has a lot of spies, and these people are scattered around the major princes to inquire about the news, but they will also worry about whether there will be such people around them staring at their words and deeds, so for this big spy leader, they are not really sure what he has done, but because they can't be sure, they will be afraid, and they will say that they don't know how many secret agents around them.

The unknown produces fear, fortunately, no one has an accident because of the secret investigation by the internal guards, so there is no situation where everyone is in danger, so even if it is a rumor before, slowly no one takes this rumor seriously, but the real situation is that Liu Lan just didn't have a killer, many people's problems are actually within Liu Lan's tolerance, greed is one thing, ability is one thing, this situation is similar to Cao manipulating Rong Guojia, so the information in Liu Lan's hands is useless, But if you really want to use it, it is definitely a reasonable and well-founded disposal.

On the whole, during the Xu Shu period, Chen Guo was completely a disciple, which was also the key to his acceptance of internal security in the future, and to be able to vigorously reform and improve efficiency on the basis of the original, at that time he was more about watching and listening and implementing, so the experience in the first line made him see many problems of internal security, but because of Xu Shu's reasons, it was impossible for him, the deputy leader, to meddle in the core matters of internal security, in fact, he gave Liu Lan a table several times, explaining his matters on the reform of internal security, but Liu Lan pressed it down, and threw it away directly after reading it, It's not that Liu Lan doesn't move the internal guard, but it's out of place, after all, the internal guard was established in a terrifying situation, Xu Shu didn't have any experience before, many problems need to be discovered, he is waiting, subtle Xu Shu can satisfy him, but the result can be imagined, Xu Shu obviously has no ability in espionage in this regard, and his stage is not here, so Liu Lan simply dispensed with Xu Shu and let Chen Guo do it.

He did a good job, but because of Chen Zhi, he was indeed a big loss after leaving, although Xu Shu was responsible again, but it was obvious that he could only straighten out the internal defense matters, and there was nothing else he could do. However, as soon as the Battle of Jiujiang started and Sun Ce was eliminated, with the return of Chen Zhi and Chen Guo, everything would be back on track.

Another point is the arrangement of Chen Dao, this matter Liu Lan still needs to consider carefully, but Chen Guo will definitely not leave the internal guard, now Liu Lan attaches great importance to the internal guard, even the generals of the army are the same, the accurate information they provide can provide more convenience for the battlefield.

Liu Lan plans to split the internal guard, military affairs and government affairs, internal and external, now the internal guard has spread out such a big stall, Liu Lan also knows that this is not normal, continue to let it go, it would be too unwise to have a big tail and difficult to get rid of, this matter has already appeared a Guan Yu, and then a second Guan Yu, Liu Lan is absolutely intolerable.

In fact, as early as when Liu Lan inspected the Setshan camp for the first time, he found such a situation, this is the Xiliu Battalion, although he cracked down on private soldiers, but found that in the end, the system in this era consciously or unconsciously turned the troops into private soldiers, which is absolutely not allowed by him, even if Guan Yu is his brother and friend, and he is the person he trusts the most.

Therefore, the appearance of the military advisers is the first to bear the brunt, only in this way can it be done once and for all, of course, now is not the time, now he can ignore the troops, as long as he can ensure the absolute loyalty of the generals, but what about later?

"Bring him here." Liu Lan asked Xu Shu to bring Xu You, and the two came to the study where Liu Lan was, but found that Liu Lan was already waiting in front of the door, which was a very grand treatment, so far, there is no second person who can have such a high standard of courtesy.

"Old friend, Qingzhou has been separated for many years, and it looks like you are still the same." Liu Lan said with a smile, it looked like welcoming an old friend who had been absent for many years, which made Xu Yu flattered, and even a little excited, the two of them met during the Battle of Jizhou, and then they met again in the Battle of Qingzhou, I didn't expect him to meet Liu Lan again, but the first two times, he met Liu Lan as a loser, but this time it was different, because the two knew that this time they were not enemies but friends, and they might even reach cooperation, since the army knew the purpose, it was naturally friends, Naturally, the treatment will be different from the previous meeting, but at the same time, he also knows that Liu Lan can put down his identity so much to welcome him, to put it bluntly, the force behind him is too huge, if it is not Yuan Shao, if it is not the victory of Xuzhou, if it is not for the main force of Wen Chou in Xuzhou, with Liu Lan's arrogance all along, will he be pretended?

What kind of friends, what interests, only strength is the most real, and only with strength will people talk about interests with you, and naturally they will become friends, otherwise he may not even be able to see Liu Lan's face now, and he still calls him a brother, why, he doesn't want to think about Liu Lan's identity, can he afford you?

Liu Lan invited Xu You into the study, the latter walked into the room with his head held high, there were only three low tables in the study, all sides were cushioned, there were some pastries on the table, the tea was still steaming, and he could smell a faint sandalwood before he sat down, it seemed that Liu Lan had carefully prepared it early in the morning, and he had worked hard, which was enough to show that Liu Lan attached great importance to his trip.

Liu Lan chatted with him, shh

If it weren't for the fact that this was Liu Lan, even Xu You might suspect that the person in front of him was a scribe and not a general, but Bisheng was such a person, and everything today was fought by him with a knife on the battlefield.

But there is one thing that has not changed, that is, the momentum, which is completely different from the momentum of the general Yuan Shao, but it is enough to deter him, the indescribable feeling, if you really want to describe it, then he feels that Rumang is more appropriate on his back, and under his gaze, it will make him very nervous and even afraid.

But Xu You didn't show it, for him, he is not the hairy boy in the Jizhou period for a long time, he has experienced too many times in this kind of envoy and negotiation over the years, this time Liu Lan must be mentioned, if it weren't for the success of that time, maybe Xu You would never be valued by Yuan Shao, not because he was incapable, but because he was small, and his ability was not too prominent, using Xu You would be criticized, making people feel that he was nepotistic, but since the battle of Jizhou, he took the initiative to ask Ying, Solving problems for Yuan Shao has completely entered Yuan Shao's list since then, and has been highly valued.

I have to say that sometimes it is just such a small change, and the trajectory of life will change, although I don't know if the needs of this era will surrender to Cao Cao again because of not being valued by Yuan Shao, but at least the current Xu You will never have such an idea, in his eyes, Cao Cao is a lamb waiting to be killed, he would rather be a ghost who seduces people around the tiger, and will not be those who are hooked by the ghost to feed the tiger's mouth.

Looking at Xu You, who is like an old monk sitting down, I haven't seen it in the past few years, it has really changed a lot, but no matter how big the change is, his nature is difficult to move, looking at the way he sits with his eyes straightened, Liu Lan clapped his hands, and soon a middle-aged man dragged a wooden plate in, the wooden plate was covered with a silk cloth, and when he arrived in front of Xu You, the man gently lifted the silk cloth.

The middle-aged man is no one else, it is Liu An, this is what Liu Lan specially advised, talk about things with Xu You, it doesn't matter what interests are not interested, and there is no meaning, if you want to get the best result, there is nothing more useful than yellow and white things, look at it, when Liu An entered the house, Xu You's eyes began to become half-closed, and when the silk cloth was lifted, his eyes were already straight.

"General, what are you?" Xu You said, but his eyes couldn't leave the gold, to be honest, Xu You has been greedy for money over the years, not to mention tens of millions, what a big scene has never seen, not to mention the gold in front of him, the stranger is Liu Lan, even if Xu Shu is not such a reaction to these hundreds of taels of gold, but there are some things that Xu You can't control, this is a habit, or a disease, he can't control it at all, he can't control it in the face of gold, but he still has to make a righteous and awe-inspiring look:" They have been good friends for many years, and you are going to be tormented like this, General. ”

"Since we have been friends for many years, I have a little heart, you don't have to refuse, otherwise I will be angry, isn't it clear that I don't take Liu as your friend." Liu Lan pretended to be angry, but he didn't look unhappy at all.

"Shame, shame, then it's better to be respectful than obey your fate." Xu You said with an embarrassed expression, while his eyes looked straight at Liu An and put the yellow scarf in front of him.

"By the way, Yuan Zhi, where did Mr. Xu live in Guangling?" Liu Lan suddenly remembered, and turned to Xu Shu again and asked.

"In the lowly house."

"In this way, you sent someone to let Mr. Xu's entourage come to my temporary general's mansion, this room is presented by the Guangling family Zhang, it is said that this is the former courtyard of Guangling King Liu Jian, Liu Jian was confiscated after his death, and then changed hands several times, to this person's hands, there are many rooms in this courtyard, Mr. Xu temporarily moved over, you and I talk day and night, how?

"Dare not accept the order!" This time I agreed to the need, and I didn't refuse, it was really Xu Shu's temporary mansion, but it was just a small courtyard, and it was messy, which made him a little unbearable, Liu Lan immediately agreed as soon as he was invited, and even sighed in his heart that that place was not inhabited by people at all.

It's not that literati are contemptuous, it's not that Xu You looks down on Xu Shu, but that Xu Shu doesn't care about these in the first place, although he is a military advisor, don't forget that there are two words behind his military advisor, general. And he has followed Liu Lan in the army since Jizhou, what kind of accommodation environment has lived, he doesn't pick at all, just have a place to live, and now Guangling because of the sudden influx of more than 100,000 people, the house is not enough at all, this is still Zhang Bei's sarcastic efforts to recruit him, like those generals in Xuzhou, are living in the barracks, compared to them, their accommodation conditions, can not be better, naturally do not pick, but Xu Yu is different, he is from Jizhou, brocade clothes and jade food, How could he stand such a private house, the stranger was him, and there were several people crammed into one room everywhere, and there was really no room.

"The general didn't treat you as an outsider, and you have nothing to hide, this trip is the general with plenipotentiary representatives, and he will negotiate with the general about forming an alliance." Xu You seemed to be moved by Liu Lan, and to put it bluntly, he used this reason to tell the purpose of this trip, the purpose was to see Liu Lan's reaction.

He came here, Liu Lan naturally knew the purpose, after all, he had actually made some contact in private before, and the basic needs were clear to both sides, but he didn't know the bottom line and purpose of dealing with it, so he came here to know Liu Lan's attitude, if he just wanted Jizhou to fight with Yanzhou, then this battle must not be fought, if he wanted to obtain the benefits of Yanzhou and even Yuzhang from it, then this battle can be considered, if he has another purpose, then this battle must be fought, and he will not make a second choice.

In fact, both sides have a very thorough view of the form after the battle of Shouchun, and even want to use each other in a fight, but no one is a fool, the three parties stand together, and no one dares to take the first step easily, after all, he wants to contact Liu Lan, maybe Liu Lan also wants to join Cao Cao, in case the news is directly stabbed to Cao Cao, even if he doesn't admit it, then Cao Cao will be prepared. On the contrary, if Liu Lan wants to unite with Cao Cao, but Cao Cao has always wanted to make a fortune behind Yuan Shao, most of them will be directly stabbed to Yuan Shao, on the contrary, it is now such a form, each has its own needs, each has its own needs, it depends on who can take the lead in achieving a balance with the other party.

Only when the interests are aligned, then can we reach an agreement on the goal, but what Xu You didn't expect was that looking at the current situation, Liu Lan seemed to be very keen on the union, which made him a little suspicious, could he really guess wrong? Although he is greedy for money, he is not lustful, as if he can become Yuan Shao's staff, although there is a reason why Yuan Shao is small, but it is not that he is a fool, but because of many years of envoys, he has a certain vision and vision of the situation, and he knows very well that the best choice for Liu Lan at this time is not to contact Yuan, but to connect Cao.

So Liu Lan's reaction made him strange, and even all this made him feel that there was a big problem, he was very careful, and even careful, after all, what he saw in front of him was not enough to make him believe that Liu Lan really wanted to unite with them, and even when he saw the gold, he was even more determined in his thoughts.
