Liu Wei sat on the dragon chair, His Royal Highness stood respectfully on the left and right, Liu Wei held the letter from Jizhou and Yanzhou in his hand, and his face was gloomy. slapped the letter on the table, Liu Wei shouted angrily: "Yuan Shao is so big, and Zhao Kuangyin is also a wolf ambition, I thought he was a loyal minister, but I didn't expect to dare to take the initiative to provoke a big war, I really ate the ambition of the board!"

"Your Majesty is angry, and now the top priority is to solve the crisis in Qingzhou, and please ask Your Majesty to stop the relocation of the Hu people as soon as possible, so that the soldiers and horses of Youzhou will attack northern Hebei, and the soldiers and horses of the state will go out of Taihang Mountain! Luoyang soldiers and horses went out of Hanoi to force Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops! Taiwei Lu Zhi immediately said.

Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "No, the relocation of the Hu people is ongoing, and it cannot be interrupted." Moreover, even if it was interrupted, there were not many soldiers and horses attacking Yuan Shao. Hua Xin, now that Xiaokuan is in Bingzhou, you are in charge of Jinyiwei, and the situation of military intelligence investigation will fall on your head, all kinds of news, I don't want to miss anything! Tell me about the situation of the two coalition forces! ”

"No! Yuan and Zhao joined forces, Yuan Shao sent 130,000 troops, and Zhao Kuangyin sent 100,000 troops. Among them, most of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were surrendered from Montenegro, and most of the soldiers and horses guarding various places were originally soldiers and horses from Jizhou. The Montenegrin army has been in Montenegro for many years, and has been honed in the poor mountains and bad waters for many years, and its combat effectiveness is not weak. And Yuan Shaoxin got two generals, Yang Dayan and Gao, no less than Yan Liang. ”

"And Zhao Kuangyin's side, 100,000 soldiers and horses, most of them were soldiers of Yuan Shu in Yuzhou back then, and their master will be the thief general Hou Junji. Xu Chu, Hua Yun and other fierce generals. And Yuan Zhao and the others sent troops to attack Qingzhou, on the grounds of chaos in Qingzhou! ”

Liu Wei sneered: "They sent troops to attack Qingzhou, but they were in an unrighteous place, Li Bai, you immediately write a letter on behalf of me to beg for thieves." Hua Xin, you immediately send these news to Qingzhou, I hope these news will have some effect on Qingzhou's defense against the attack of the coalition army! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Li Baihua and Xin gave up their orders.

Liu Wei looked at Lu Zhi and said: "Captain Lu, you immediately send a message to Xue Rengui in Youzhou, and ask him to do what he can, send cavalry to attack and harass northern Hebei, in short, to drag down 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang He in northern Hebei." It would be better if Yuan Shao could send troops back to help, but other affairs in Youzhou can't be put aside! ”

Lu Zhi nodded and wrote down, and Liu Wei continued: "Taiyuan, let Li Xianzhong send troops to attack Jingjing Pass, and the overall situation is the same as Youzhou!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, General Li Xianzhong of Taiyuan is now sick in bed, and he has been sick for three months, have you forgotten?"

"Sick? Didn't I ask Doctor Li to go for treatment, and Doctor Li came back and said that there was no big problem, why didn't he get better? "Li Xianzhong is seriously ill, but in fact, it was Liu Biao's secret order that concealed everyone, and now Lu Zhi pretends not to know when he mentions Liu Bian.

Lu Zhi's slightly rickety body was a little desolate, and he sighed and said: "Hey, Xianzhong is the first veteran to follow His Majesty, and now he is seriously ill, it's really ......, Xianzhong is seriously ill, and now there is no one to command the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan, and in the area of Taihang Mountain, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses who want to command, and these soldiers and horses are the elite of Montenegro." Taiyuan's 20,000 soldiers and horses have no commander, and Taiyuan's 20,000 soldiers and horses are not capable of mobilizing them all, and the state can be said to be no threat to Jizhou at all! ”

"There is no threat, but also to drag these soldiers and horses, since Xianzhong is seriously ill, he has to find someone to replace him, do you have anyone to recommend?" Liu Wei looked at the ministers and asked.

"General Xianzhong is an old minister, and General Anton, and now the generals in His Majesty's hands, I'm afraid that only two General Yang have the prestige to replace them, right?" Situ Cai Yong suggested.

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "No, although these two generals are fierce, they are not stable enough. During this time, Xun Yu and Liu Bowen have been recommending a person to me, saying that he is a rare general who governs the army well. This person's name is Li Jing, he is a person from Bingzhou, he was originally Xiahoudun's deputy, and he will be in good order for the military affairs and government affairs of the county, and now he is assisting Xun Yu and Liu Bowen to settle the Hu people, and I decided to use this person. ”

Lu Zhi raised an objection after hearing this: "Your Majesty has no objection to appointing new ministers, but Taiyuan is no better than others, Taiyuan soldiers and horses have been the elite for many years, and they have been under the command of General Li for many years. Li Jing has no qualifications, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public! ”

"What about newcomers, as long as they have talent, besides, with a newcomer, can Zhang Yan relax his vigilance, right? I have made up my mind, and I will use Li Jing to temporarily replace Li Xianzhong and temporarily command the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan. And show loyalty, let him return to Beijing for treatment! Liu Wei waved his hand and ordered.

Let Zhang Yan let her guard down? The ministers all felt that something was not quite right, could it be that His Majesty had a plan? Thinking of this, the ministers didn't ask much, but Xun You guessed most of them, and suggested with his hand: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yan of Montenegro is good at mountain warfare, there is this person guarding the area of Taihang Mountain, and it may be difficult for the soldiers and horses of the state to advance an inch, and Weichen has a way to transfer this person away from Taihang Mountain!"

"Let's hear it!" Liu Wei was overjoyed.

Xun You arched his hand and said: "Zhang Yan surrendered to Yuan Shao, and at the same time there are millions of people, 300,000 young and strong, and now there are 200,000 soldiers in Jizhou, half of which are the Black Mountain Army. Yuan Shao is suspicious by nature, and now Jizhou is all supported by Cui Hao, but Zhang Yan's power in Jizhou is too big, if the rumor of Zhang Yan's rebellion is spread at this time, he will definitely transfer back Zhang Yan with Yuan Shao's temperament, even if he doesn't transfer back, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses attacking Qingzhou now are mostly Montenegrin troops, once this rumor spreads, it will also make Yuan Shaojun's heart unstable! ”

"Good plan! Hua Xin, you ordered Jinyiwei to spread rumors immediately and cause trouble to the Jizhou army! Liu Wei immediately ordered.

After Liu Wei finished arranging, Lu Zhi asked: "Your Majesty, you have arranged for Youzhou and Bingzhou, so what about the direction of Hanoi?" Yuan Junsu general Han Meng garrisoned 20,000 troops in the Muye area, if our army does not send troops to contain Hanoi, these 20,000 soldiers and horses will definitely draw out a part of the soldiers and horses to attack Qingzhou! ”

Liu Wei pondered for a while and said: "Now there are 40,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang, but there is not much material resources to support the initiative, so 10,000 troops are sent under the command of Yang Zaixing. Zaixing, after you arrived in Hanoi, the soldiers and horses were stationed on the border, mainly to attack and harass, just to drag Han Meng's 20,000 soldiers and horses! ”

At this time, Liu Wei reacted that his capital Luoyang did not have a commander, most of them were fierce generals, and it seemed that he needed to summon a commander-type general to command the soldiers and horses in the capital. However, in a short period of time, Li Xianzhong, who was transferred back, was still used as the commander-in-chief, and Li Jing and Liu Wei planned to make him the commander of the annexation state, Li Xianzhong's qualifications were too high, and it was definitely inappropriate to let him be in the annexation state.

As for the threat to Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Wei didn't say much, because Nanyang often encountered spring soldiers and horses, Zhao Kuangyin had already arranged a large number of soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, commanded by Cao Bin and Cao Ren, and they were very well prepared.

In this battle, it will completely rely on the defense of Qingzhou, except for Li Jing's side that may bring surprises to Liu Wei, Hanoi, Youzhou, and Nan** will not be able to help much.
