"That's right." Liu Bowen said, "The princes of the Central Plains have their own hearts, even within the two camps, they also have their own thoughts, and they are not united. Therefore, the rebellion in the Central Plains is no longer inevitable. At that time, it was a good opportunity to seek the party. ”

"Hah!" Liu Mang smiled, the princes of the Central Plains are fighting, it must be lively. "Mr. Berwyn elaborates."

According to the information obtained by Liu Bowen, Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei flanked the Yellow Turban remnants who invaded the Bohai Sea in Jizhou from the north and south, broke the Yellow Turban Army, and basically controlled Bohai County.

In order to protect his interests in Jizhou, Yuan Shao gave up his plan to march into Jizhou and concentrate his troops in the name of clearing the Yellow Turbans in an attempt to recapture the Bohai Sea.

The Bohai Sea is an important passage from Youzhou to the Central Plains, how can Gongsun Chan easily let it go.

The armies of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan clashed several times in the Bohai Sea, and Gongsun Chan relied on elite cavalry to continuously defeat Yuan Shao's troops.

Yuan Shao was defeated first in Jingcheng and then in Bohai, and he would not rest. According to the secret report, Yuan Shaozheng mobilized his army to prepare for a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan, and asked Cao Cao of Dongjun to send troops to help.

"Oh?" Liu Mang was even more interested.

Yuan Shao + Cao Cao VS Gongsun Zan + Liu Bei, such a big battle must be exciting!

Liu Bowen smiled. "Cao Mengde has a casual appearance, and Liu Xuande is timid in doing things, however, these two people are ambitious and talented and strategic, and they will not participate in the battle between Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Boqi."

Liu Mang's interest in Cao Cao and Liu Bei was much greater than in Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan. "Why don't Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande intervene?"

"Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu are also inseparable. Yuan Benchu was used to being the leader of the alliance, and he was used to commanding, although he had a lot of funding for Cao Mengde, he often imposed restrictions, and did not want Cao Mengde to become bigger. And Cao Mengde has a big mind, how can he live under Yuan Benchu for a long time, he will take this opportunity to develop to the south of Yanzhou and expand his power. ”

Liu Mang smiled: "Lao Cao is cunning, and he thinks about the same as us." Then Liu Bei is also in the same mind, and he will not completely obey Gongsun Zhan. ”

"yes. Liu Xuande is cautious, on the surface he is respectful to Gongsun Bojue, but in fact he is secretly accumulating strength. The previous time Gongsun Boqi asked him to send troops to Bohai, Liu Xuande found all kinds of excuses, and only sent a small force to meet the situation, but secretly in Qingzhou, cleaned up and incorporated the remnants of the surrounding Yellow Turbans, and made a small fortune. ”

"Liu Bei is a little obscene."

Liu Bowen smiled: "That's right. However, Liu Xuande's obscene behavior is also the way for the weak to survive in troubled times. ”

"Then what will Yuan Shu do?"

"Yuan Highway is restricted by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but he will not send troops to meddle in the affairs of Jizhou and Yanzhou. But the cable newspaper said that he was secretly funding Gongsun Boqi and Tao Gongzu to contain Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde. ”

"This scum!" Liu Mang couldn't help but swear, what he hated the most was Yuan Shu, a kind of goods that even his own brothers were pitted. Seeing Liu Bowen looking at him, Liu Mang smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I burst into a foul mouth." ”

Liu Bowen also smiled: "I think it's very enjoyable to listen to!" ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Mang laughed, "Then I'll continue to scold him!" What good is this scum doing this? ”

Liu Bowen pointed to the map and said, "The world." At the beginning, Yuan Benchu wanted to establish Liu Bo'an as the emperor, but this scum saw the decline of the Han dynasty and already had different aspirations, so he opposed Yuan Benchu's proposition under the pretext of justice. And this scum looked down on Yuan Benchu, who was born as a concubine, and in the end, he went from brother to antagonism. He wanted to take Jingzhou, and ordered Sun Wentai to send troops to attack, which caused Sun Wentai to fall to Xiangyang. ”

The two said in unison: "This scum! With that, the two looked at each other and laughed......

……

"When they make a fuss, we can send troops to the party, right?"

Liu Bowen nodded. "Yuan Benchu was eager for revenge, and he carefully calculated, and it was expected that in February and March of the next year, Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Boqi would have a battle. At that time, Cao Mengde will also use troops in Yanzhou. The princes of all walks of life have no time to look west, and it is the best time to take the party. ”

"Good!"

"However, there are a few things that must be planned in advance."

"What?"

"First, as soon as the Bohai Sea war begins, the salt road in our annex to the state will inevitably be completely cut off, and the salt road in Hedong must be guaranteed in order to ensure the stability of Taiyuan."

"Yes. Mr. Jia Liang has made progress in Hedong, and his letter will arrive soon. ”

"Second, we must make the appearance of developing Taiyuan with peace of mind, in case Yuan Ben is suspicious."

"Uh...... I'll think about it. ”

"The third, which is also what his subordinates have been worried about, is Lu Fengxian."

"Oh? Mr. Berwyn is worried that Lu Bu will take the opportunity to send troops from Xihe to attack my Taiyuan? ”

Liu Bowen nodded. "The threat of Xihe Lishi Gaoshun always exists, we use troops against Shangdang, and we still need to divide troops to defend Yanmen and Jingcheng, and the existing troops are not enough to divide troops to defend Xihe Gaoshun, we must try to drag Lu Fengxian so that he has no time to look east about the affairs of Taiyuan Shangdang."

Liu Mang stood up, paced slowly in the room, and said to himself, "Drag Lu Bu? Who can do that? ”

"Dong Zhuo."

The two spoke in unison.

Liu Bowen nodded. "Dong Zhuo is already on guard against Lu Fengxian, and Lu Fengxian will also be worried that the Xiliang army will enter Shangjun Xihe and other places. We have to try to widen the rift between Dong and Lu, and Lu Feng must first seek self-preservation, and have no time to take care of anything else. ”

"It shouldn't be hard to do. Mr. Jia Liang has a lot of connections in Chang'an, and with the help of Dong Zhuo's staff, he arranged some rights and wrongs for Lu Bu, which could easily be passed on to Dong Zhuo. ”

Liu Bowen added: "It's best to let Jia Liang contact Wang Situ again to explain the importance of Taiyuan, and Wang Situ will also persuade Lu Fengxian to avoid his hindrance." ”

"Good. Is that all? ”

"These are the things that are directly related to the party. The rest depends on the situation in Hedong. After Dong Zhuo coerced the imperial court to move to Chang'an, Hedong became a place where the green forests of Youkou lived, and the situation there was too complicated, and only when Jia Liang sent back the news could he make a plan. ”

……

came out of Liu Bowen, Liu Mang immediately went to find Yu Wenkai.

Hearing that the city was going to be repaired again, Yu Wenkai was very happy. A professional master like him, having something to do is leisure, and having nothing to do is to suffer.

"Which city to repair?"

"Yuci, Qi County, and Daling."

Repairing three cities at the same time is not a matter for Yu Wenkai. "How is the construction period?"

"The slower, the better."

Yu Wenkai thought that Liu Mang was wrong, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to add another sentence.

"It's slow, not fast. Start construction in the spring and repair slowly. ”

Yuwen Kai is gone, how can such a construction period be arranged?

"It's Master Yuwen's business to arrange it." Liu Mang said with a smile, "After the New Year, construction must be started, and it will not be completed before the end of March." Also, the momentum of the maintenance is as big as possible, but there is not so much labor, so Mr. Yuwen should calculate it carefully. In short, just shout loudly and dry slowly. ”

Yu Wenkai is the general of the county government as Cao Peng, an official, and a subordinate of Liu Mang, who is a serious child, and he must do the tasks assigned by Liu Mang. However, why is this mission so unchallenging and awkward!
