Guo Jia's words reminded Liu Yuan of three people almost at the same time, three characters who can make a storm in the future.

Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Sima Yi!

These three people are Wolong, Feng Chick, and Tsukasa Tiger, and each has extraordinary talents. If it can't be used by Liu Yuan, it will be the biggest stumbling block before Liu Yuan's unification pace.

Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Now in 192, Pang Tong, the oldest of the three, is only thirteen years old, Sima Yi is slightly younger, the same year as him, he is also thirteen years old, and as for Zhuge Liang, he is less than eleven years old.

In this way, these three people are studying hard, and they have not yet come out of the mountain. In other words, the three of them still have no owner!

If there is no owner, then Liu Yuan has a chance.

Pang Tong, who has a peculiar appearance, is the nephew of Pang Degong, a famous man in Jingzhou, but with Pang Degong's fame, Liu Yuan is not easy to use.

Sima Yi, who looked at the wolf Gu and looked at the wolf, was the son of Sima Fang. And Sima Fang is Jing Zhaoyin, but Yuan Shao's subordinate, with the relationship between Liu Yuan and Yuan Shao, he wants to get Sima Yi easily, but he can't.

And Zhiduo's almost demonic Xiao Zhengtai Kong Ming should be practicing knowledge at the Pang De Office in Lumen Mountain at this time. His uncle Zhuge Xuan was the Taishou of Changsha under Liu Biao.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan already had a context in his heart.

"Lord, lord!"

Guo Jia saw that Liu Yuan was in a trance, and couldn't help screaming a few times before waking Liu Yuan up.

"Hehe, don't blame Fengxiao, I thought of something else just now." Liu Yuan said.

"Oh?" Guo Jia was a little curious. He hadn't seen anything that could make Liu Yuan lose his mind for the time being, so he said, "What's the matter, can you tell your subordinates?" ”

Liu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Just think of three people." ”

"Three?" Guo Jiaqi said: "Which three people? ”

"Three characters who can rival your means of command." Liu Yuan said: "There are a few things next, that is, about these three people, and you need to do it." ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he was surprised. Although he does not boast of being the first in the world, for example, Jia Xu's eyes are not less than him, but now Liu Yuan said that there are three people who are not inferior to him, which really surprises him.

"First, you go to the college tomorrow morning, and let Kang Chenggong invite Jingzhou Pang Degong to come to my Youzhou in the name of academic exchanges.

"Pang Tong" Guo Jia chewed for a moment and said, "What about the second?" ”

"The second thing, you inform Wen He and let him scare Yuan Shao, just say that Sima Fang has offended this king, and let him hand over Sima Fang's family, otherwise he will wait for this king to send someone to assassinate him!"

"Sima Fang" Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "Although this Sima Fang is Jing Zhaoyin, his talent is not top-notch?" ”

"We'll find out then!" Liu Yuan said this, but it whetted Guo Jia's appetite.

"The third thing," Liu Yuan looked sideways at Dian Wei, who had drunk a lot of wine and was already a little dizzy, and said, "Lao Dian, Lao Dian!" ”

Dian Wei was full of excitement, and hurriedly raised his head: "Young Master, what's the matter?" ”

"I have something for you to do." Liu Yuan said.

"Young master, you say, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I am not afraid of the old man!" Dian Wei slapped his chest and thought about it, but he was a little dizzy and lost his duty just now, and he was a little weak.

Liu Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "I have a handwritten letter, you personally take someone south to Jingzhou, hand it over to Liu Jingsheng, and tell him that if he can let Zhuge Xuan's family go north to Youzhou with you, I will allow him 10,000 sets of weapons and 5,000 war horses!" ”

"At the same time, you are responsible for conveying Kang Chenggong's invitation, and escorting Lumen Mountain Pang Degong all the way to my Youzhou for academic exchanges."

When Dian Wei heard this, he was immediately a little embarrassed, and said, "Young master, am I your personal guard, or should I send someone else?" ”

"No, no, no," Liu Yuan shook his head: "In this Yuyang City, I still need protection?" Moreover, it is also because of Pang Degong's identity. ”

"Well, well." Dian Wei replied in a muffled voice.

"Okay, that's it." Liu Yuan clapped his hands and said to Guo Jia: "Now all the places under the jurisdiction of this king are developing and growing in an orderly manner, but there is always a hidden danger, which makes me very unhappy. ”

"The hidden danger lord has not yet been proclaimed emperor, so reforming the official system and the military system is not on the agenda. Although the major legions are a little chaotic and have reached the time of reorganization, this is not a hidden danger, and it can be completed with just an order. As for the Central Plains and Jiangnan, they are in a hot situation now, and it is not the business of the lord. Then, there is only the Western Regions! Guo Jia pondered: "Is the lord worried about the counterattack of the Western Regions? ”

Liu Yuan bowed his head slightly and said, "The forces in the Western Regions are intricate, and most of them are of different races. As the so-called non-self race, their hearts will be different. Although the previous battle greatly shocked the countries of the Western Regions, aliens are aliens, and they have always been cunning, and I am only worried that in a few years, when I go south, they will send troops to delay their feet. ”

Guo Jiawei groaned, and said thoughtfully: "Now that the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other powerful alien races are almost extinct, if the Middle Earth is unified and there is no containment, they will definitely set their sights on the Western Regions, a powerful and unified Middle Earth, which all foreign races do not want to see." ”

Liu Yuan frowned, raised his eyebrows, and said, "That's right." Therefore, I want to solve the hidden dangers of the Western Regions before the southern expedition! ”

"The lord is far-sighted." Guo Jia said: "And there is a starting point right now, do you still remember Princess Loulan?" ”

"Haha, Feng Xiao and I thought about it together." Liu Yuan laughed: "I am about to borrow Loulan's hand to gradually erode the Western Regions!" ”

"So what is the lord going to do?" Guo Jia asked.

"No strategy has yet been decided. The Western Regions are complex, and the context is difficult to sort out. Liu Yuan said: "You give me an idea?" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a long time, smiled, and said, "I have a plan, and I will definitely be able to do it." ”

"Speak quickly!" Liu Yuan has been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and his head hurts, but it is difficult to sort it out. The Western Regions are now self-contained and very xenophobic, and if Liu Yuan intervenes in it, it will inevitably be boycotted by the countries of the Western Regions. Resistance is not really a big deal, if the logistical resources are sufficient, just send a large army to fight it. But now, after a series of wars, a lot of grain and grass and other materials stored in previous years have been consumed, and the two will have to reserve their respective materials for the southern expedition from now on, so it is best to deal with the Western Regions without violence.

"Easy!" Guo Jia looked at Liu Yuan meaningfully and said, "As long as the lord marries Princess Naloulan!" ”

"You stinky boy!" Liu Yuan was so angry that he stretched out his hand to give Guo Jia a look. In just a few hours a day, Guo Jia teased several times - Sun Shangxiang and Huang Diewu, and now they are burning the fire on Princess Loulan, how can they not make Liu Yuan depressed?

"Slow down, slow down!" Guo Jia grinned, hurriedly got up, changed his seat, avoided Liu Yuan, and said: "Lord, don't you think that as long as you accept Princess Loulan, not only will you be able to hold the beauty, but you can also meddle in the affairs of the Western Regions as the concubine of Loulan Country, wouldn't it be wonderful?" ”

Liu Yuan paused and pondered.

Guo Jia's words were indeed like an enlightenment, which made him suddenly realize.

"That is the case" Liu Yuan spread his hands, his face was embarrassed, and said: "It seems that this king can only reluctantly respond to this matter"

"Hahaha lord, do you know what you call it now? Scratch the bag! Guo Jia laughed, got up quickly, pushed open the door and left.

Liu Yuan looked at the door that was still creaking in a daze, slapped his forehead twice, and was secretly annoyed: "If I knew that this kid was like this, I shouldn't have taught him those future words!" Mistakes, mistakes! ”

The next time, Dian Wei carried Liu Yuan's handwriting, and went to the academy with Guo Jia, and got Zheng Xuan's handwriting from Zheng Kangcheng, so he immediately took a hundred cavalry guards, went out of Yuyang City, and went south.

At the same time, Yuan Shu, Cao Ying, Liu Biao and Sun Quan also almost separated the winners and losers.

Yuan Shu retreated to the defense, completely abandoned Yuzhou, and let Cao Ying's soldiers take the rest of the counties except Runan without blood. And Yuan Shu showed weakness and Cao Ying, but on the battlefield of Lujiang, he was fighting to the death with Liu Biao.

Hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides turned to the counties of Lujiang, and the battle was earth-shaking, and in the end, Liu Biao only occupied the two counties of Lujiang near Jiangxia, and then he was stuck, and was blocked by Yuan Shu. Today, the two armies are still facing each other and have no retreat.

Sun Quan, on the other hand, killed Zhou Xin and completely captured Danyang County, and now he is cleaning up the situation in Danyang, while extending his tentacles to Wu County, Poyang County, Yuzhang County and other counties.

At this time, Yuan Shao increased his troops by 100,000 and descended on Bishui Pass, still commanded by Zhang Jaw, attacking Chen Liu! Cao Chun, who had just returned to Chenliu, was invincible, so he had to retreat and rely on the city wall to resist the attack of Zhang Jaw, and at the same time asked Cao Ying for help.

Xichuan, Yizhou.

Zhang Song finally returned to Chengdu with Liu Zhang's handwritten letter.

When Liu Yan saw Zhang Song coming back alone, he frowned and said, "Where is my son?" ”

"In Youzhou." Zhang Song replied.

"Why don't you go back? Could it be that Zihong detained him? Although Liu Yan said so, he did not believe that Liu Yuan would detain Liu Zhang. On the one hand, he has an extraordinary relationship with Liu Yuan, and on the other hand, he doesn't even have anything to do with Cao Ying and Liu Biao, so how can Liu Zhang have anything?

"The lord of Qiqi, the young lord is reluctant to return to Yizhou." Zhang Song replied truthfully.

"Why is that?" Liu Yan was puzzled.

Zhang Song didn't speak again, but handed over the letter in his arms.

Liu Yan took it and saw that it was Liu Zhang's handwriting on the cover.

Nodding, opening the envelope, Liu Yan unfolded the letter, took a closer look, and his face changed drastically.

Liu Zhang's first sentence was that he wanted to be a mercenary. Why doesn't this make Liu Yan angry? Mercenaries, Liu Yan has some understanding of this, and he is just a ranger who licks blood with a knife head, but he is organized and disciplined. But in the final analysis, it is still a cheap job, how can it be worthy of Liu Zhang's identity?

Liu Yan temporarily suppressed his anger and looked down carefully, his face slowly changed back, and he was still a little happy.

Although he still did not agree with Liu Zhang's plan to seek an opportunity to dedicate Yizhou to Liu Yuan, Liu Zhang can read and think, and has his own opinions, as a father, how can Liu Yan not be happy?

"Ji Yu, my son can have unique opinions, I am very relieved." After reading Liu Zhang's handwriting, Liu Yan sighed, put the letter in his hand, and said to Zhao Wei on the left side of the hall: "You will take a look at Ji Yu's proposal first, and then discuss it tomorrow." ”

Zhang Song and his brother Zhang Su returned home, and the two immediately abandoned their subordinates and entered the study.

"Yongnian, what the hell is going on? How could the young master have such thoughts? Is Youzhou really that powerful? Zhang Su asked a few questions urgently.

"Brother, don't get excited." Zhang Song asked Zhang Su to sit down, and then everything he and Liu Zhang experienced in Youzhou was told as it was. Zhang Su closed his eyes and listened, his face constantly changing.

"In other words, the young master has made up his mind to stay in Youzhou?" Zhang Su said.

"Not bad." Zhang Song's face was helpless: "I have a lot of dissuasion, but the young master has his own opinions, but I can't." ”

Zhang Su's brows furrowed deeply, and he said in a tangled way: "The lord is close to ancient times, and there are not many times, and the young lord is like this."

"In my opinion," Zhang Song was not so bothered: "The young master's idea also has some truth. The strength of Youzhou, if you see it in person, big brother, I am afraid you will be dumbfounded. With such strength, I have the same opinion as the young master, sooner or later, King Yuyang will dominate the world. That being the case, it's better to plan ahead. ”

"It's a big rebellion!" Zhang Su reprimanded: "We are loyal to the lord, how can we have such thoughts in private? ”

Zhang Song was speechless.

Zhang Su stood up, walked back and forth for a moment, and said to himself, "No, I have to meet Lord Zhao and General Yan!" ”

After that, he ignored Zhang Song and walked out of the study.
