"My lord, Mr. Zhuge is right...... Reasonable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Although he disagreed with Xiao Shu's approach, Xu Shu had to say that this was tantamount to adding a batch of funds for no reason.

It is basically impossible to achieve such a goal in the long term and sustain such a large expenditure if it relies solely on tax revenues.

Xiao Rate looked at Liu Bei's slightly frowning brows, and sighed secretly in his heart, sure enough, it still didn't work.

"No, Bei will never do such a dirty thing that attracts people to scold the Nine Clans." Liu Bei said angrily.

"The lord is really benevolent and righteous!"

Xu Shu rolled up his sleeves, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed.

Xiao Shu glanced at him with disdain, and thought: I really know how to make sycophants!

"In this case, the lord can vigorously develop agriculture, and we must personally control it, first, to control the price of grain, so that the people can live a good life, and put an end to J businessmen.

Second, it can buy people's hearts, stabilize the status of the lord in Sizhou County, and establish a very high prestige among the people!

At the same time, the lord also has to control commerce and stabilize prices, so as to accumulate wealth and strengthen the army! ”

Every time Xiao Rate said a little, Liu Bei thought for a while, and then responded: "Accurate!" ”

In the end, Liu Bei himself didn't know how many accurate words he said, anyway, as long as he didn't dig other people's ancestral graves, Liu Bei approved Xiao Yu's opinions one by one.

It wasn't until Xiao Shu finished speaking that Liu Bei spoke: "This matter is fully entrusted to Zhuge Military Division!" ”

Xiao Rate shook his head, and turned around to leave.

If you don't set up a corps of school captains, if you want to realize the dream of strengthening the army, you must go through a long period of precipitation, and it is just a helpless way to reduce taxes in business.

It is also the most difficult road, but Liu Bei chose this path.

Leaving Liu Bei's mansion, Xiao Shu began to gather all the strategists in the general and set up an operational headquarters.

At present, he is the commander-in-chief, and Xu Shu is the deputy commander-in-chief.

Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others are only the lowest strategists, and even calling them strategists is a bit exalted.

But no matter what, the simple shelf is set up, and the core of them are Xu Shu and Xiao Shu.

Xu Shu is really capable, but Xiao Shu relies on some knowledge from modern times and a rough understanding of the Three Kingdoms.

Oh, and you have to add the Beacon Wolf Smoke system, so to put it mildly, you can still have a tricky skill that you can use in one day.

After a few days of busyness, De Xiao was a little dizzy, but he still received a temporary good news.

Cao Cao sent an envoy to bring the holy decree, but as for whether it was issued by the current emperor, it is impossible to find out.

The envoy came to Liu Bei's mansion with a smile, and saw that he was already waiting outside, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

Before the person approached, the messenger said loudly with a smile on his face: "Oh, Uncle Liuhuang, congratulations!" ”

Xiao Shu and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and they didn't need to look at what was written on the holy decree at all, they could already see the general content from the face of the messenger.

"Shangguan, please!" Liu Bei didn't have any expression on his face, just respectfully saluted the envoy and bowed down to welcome him into the mansion.

"Good, good"

The smile on the messenger's face did not decrease, and he said three good words on his face, which was regarded as an answer.

After answering, he walked in unceremoniously.

The messenger was in the center of the main hall, and with a shake of his hands, Xiao Yu saw a golden brocade silk appear on the hand of the celebrity Y.

"Liu Bei takes the order!" The messenger suddenly raised his voice.

The high-pitched voice, like a ghost's scream, seemed a little harsh.

Xiao Shu didn't understand, he accepted the order, why did he have to shout so loudly? This is simply the noise pollution of the red LL!

"The minister takes the order!"

When Liu Bei heard these four words, his face was serious, and he knelt on the ground solemnly, and responded.

Many strategists and generals around him knelt on the ground with Liu Bei's bow, bowing their heads.

Xiao Shu also knelt down with everyone.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said, the emperor's uncle Liu Bei, the earthquake in the Central Plains, specially named Liu Bei as the history of the four continents, to show the emperor's grace, admire this!"

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

The smile on the envoy's face did not change, "Uncle Huang, take the order quickly!" ”

Xiao Shu secretly glanced at the messenger and thought to himself: This NM is the legendary professional smile? From the moment I came in, I didn't stop laughing.

Liu Bei bowed his head again and thanked him, and this was the end.

After the process was completed, Xiao Shu stood up with a bitter face, this is completely torturing your knees!

Liu Bei kept sending the envoy out of the palace until the envoy left and disappeared, and then he opened his mouth and asked Xiao Shu and Xu Shu, "What do the two military advisors think?" ”

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Lord, this is just Cao Cao pretending to be in the name of the Son of Heaven to show you goodwill!"

Now that the lord has the land of the four continents, and his strength can be called the tiger of the north, Cao Cao is obviously showing goodwill, but he actually wants to use this to inquire about our reality. ”

After Xiao Shu on the side heard Xu Shu's words, his heart suddenly tightened.

Originally, Xiao Shu also thought so, Liu Bei, who was sitting on the land of the four continents, had a wide range of soldiers in his hands, and he was already the largest force in the north, and there was no one.

But now that I heard Xu Shu say this, somehow, Xiao Shu felt a chill in his back.

"My lord, I should send more heavy troops to guard the official crossing, I think Cao Cao's plan is probably not so simple." Xiao Shu suddenly spoke.

Seeing that everyone looked at themselves puzzled, it was obvious that they all thought that Xu Shu's words were undoubtedly the most reasonable, and Cao Cao was showing favor to himself.

At present, it should be Jiujiang that should be heavily guarded, after all, Yuan Shao has fled to Jiangdong to join Sun Ce, Yuan Shao will not die, and his heart of revenge will not be extinguished.

But Xiao Rate asked troops to be sent to guard the official crossing, which seems unreasonable?

"What do you mean, sir, that Cao Cao will send troops to attack?" Xu Shu asked in astonishment.

Xiao Shu nodded, looked at everyone and explained, "Lord, generals, listen to me. ”

Saying that, Xiao Shu paused, and then spoke: "Cao Cao, when he is a hero, he has a lot of soldiers in his hands, and he started in Chenliu, and he is stationed in Xuchang, and more importantly, he is good at using soldiers.

Liang concluded that this canonization was to find out the truth of our army, and the second was to cover for his troops.

If, according to your thoughts, we concentrate our forces to defend Sun Ce in the south, then Cao Cao will inevitably take advantage of the emptiness of Guandu's troops, take the opportunity to avoid Guandu, and occupy Pi and Lingong, what kind of predicament will our army face at that time? ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically, if it was really as Xiao Rate said, and attacked Xuzhou on both sides, then Xuzhou would definitely not be guaranteed.

If Xuzhou is lost, Shouchun will face the crisis of soldiers approaching the city, and when the time comes, Cao Cao will besiege but not attack, and people's hearts will inevitably be in chaos.

Cao Cao didn't need to spend a single soldier, so he took the four continents as his own.

But the question is, will this really be the case?
