Chapter 296: North to Liaodong
Liu Xuan said: "There are three things to do when I go to Liaodong. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Guo Jia asked, "What are the three things?" ”
Liu Xuan replied: "First, if I form an alliance with Gongsun Du of Liaodong, I can provide food for Liaodong, and Gongsun Du will provide me with war horses. Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and other places can get war horses, but these are not our channels. Xiliang, which Dong Zhuo controls, can also get war horses, and it is not within our scope. ”
"It's quite unrealistic to ask these people to prepare war horses for us."
"The only chance is to find an alliance with Gongsun Du."
Liu Xuan continued: "There are also advantages to forming an alliance with Gongsun Du, that is, Gongsun Du is not a threat to us, and with the guise of an alliance, it can be beneficial for me to do things in Liaodong." ”
Jia Xu stroked the beard under his chin and said, "If you look at it this way, it's also a good choice." ”
Liu Xuan raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and said, "Second, recruit talents." In addition to Tai Shici in Liaodong, Bingyuan, who is known as the dragon's belly, and Guan Ning, who is known as the dragon's tail, are both from Beihai, and Wang Lie, a famous man, who is also from Qingzhou. These people are all from Qingzhou, and we have a natural advantage to recruit them. Once they move, then the talents who live in Liaodong will also follow the wind. ”
Guo Jia said: "This is indeed beneficial, but it will offend Gongsun Du." ”
Liu Xuan said: "There is always a solution to things, as long as the benefits are enough, everything is not a problem." ”
Guo Jia bowed slightly, agreeing with Liu Xuan's statement.
Liu Xuan said again: "Third, plan Liaodong. Taking the opportunity of forming an alliance with Liaodong, he planted spies in Liaodong to prepare for the future planning of Liaodong. ”
"We are now in Qingzhou, although Qingzhou is east of the sea, and will not be attacked on the back."
"But Qingzhou is a place of four wars. Such a place, whether it is Yuan Shao, or Cao Cao, or even Tao Qian in Xuzhou, will be coveted. ”
"It's a geographical location surrounded by enemies."
Liu Xuan's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said: "As long as we can take Liaodong, then it is equivalent to having a sharp sword inserted from Liaodong into Youzhou, which is an excellent opportunity." ”
"Once you succeed, it's easy to compete in the world."
"So, the trip to Liaodong is worth it."
Liu Xuan's eyes fell on Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and said, "Based on the above reasons, I decided to go to Liaodong. ”
Jia Xu said: "The lord said so much, and the old man also agreed to go. ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Liaodong is such an interesting place, how can I be missing?" This time I'm going. ”
Liu Xuan looked at Guo Jia, shook his head and said, "In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, brother should not go." ”
"No way!"
Guo Jia shook his head resolutely, he stayed in Huangxian County, and it was a bunch of government affairs, it was better to follow Liu Xuan to Liaodong, he could see the land of Liaodong, and such a place could also open his eyes.
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Lord, it's okay to go with filial piety." On the one hand, you can increase your experience; On the other hand, it is also possible to give advice to the Lord. When the lord goes to Liaodong, he also needs a strategist by his side. ”
Liu Xuan said: "In this way, you have to work hard for Mr. Wenhe to stay." ”
"It's okay, the old man is old, and he can't go with the lord."
Jia Xu smiled, his old bones would definitely not be able to go to Liaodong with Liu Xuan.
Now that there is Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in Youzhou, in such a situation, it will definitely not work by land. The only way is to take the waterway and let Jia Xu go for a bump, he can't stand it.
Liu Xuan got the consent of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, so he sent someone to call Mi Zhu, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, and asked the three of them to stay in Donglai County, and obey Jia Xu's arrangement in everything.
After arranging things, Liu Xuan went back to the backyard.
Liu Xuan is about to leave, so he wants to take some time to accompany Diao Chan and other women.
During the day, he took Cai Yan to wander around, and at night, he took turns rolling the sheets in the courtyard of Diao Chan, Dong Han and other women, and after staying for a few days, Liu Xuan took Guo Jia, Shi A and the soldiers of the guard battalion composed of 500 people to set off for Liaodong.
This departure started from Huangxian by water.
Liu Xuan and the others were on a big boat, which was enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people.
The big ship went all the way north, heading north.
On this day, above deck.
Liu Xuan, Guo Jia, and Shi A were drinking tea and chatting, and the three of them were really happy and comfortable with the warm sun on their heads.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Second brother, you also said that Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and now we are gradually getting closer to Liaodong, but we haven't seen how bitter cold it is. The sun is shining warmly, the weather is warm, and it is very comfortable. ”
Liu Xuan said: "First, it's nearly March now, and the sun is naturally not cold. Second, it's daytime, and at night you don't have to use charcoal to keep warm. ”
Guo Jia smiled, got up and approached the guardrail, looked at the endless, sparkling sea, with a happy look on his face, and said: "If you don't climb Mount Tai, you don't know the height of Mount Tai." If you don't enter the rivers and seas, you don't know the vastness of the rivers and seas. Now seeing this vast river and sea, it is really magnificent. ”
Liu Xuandao: "The reason why the sea is vast and boundless is also because the rivers converge. Therefore, if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. This is true of the sea, and even more so of the country. ”
Saying this, Liu Xuan also stood up.
Walking in front of Guo Jia, Liu Xuan stood proudly, and his slender figure looked even more majestic in the sun.
Liu Xuanzheng said: "If you want to compete in the world, you can't achieve it overnight, you can only gather bit by bit." What we are doing now is to lay a solid foundation and lay a solid foundation bit by bit. ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "The second brother has this ambition, and he will definitely succeed." ”
Shi Ah echoed: "The lord is wise and magnificent, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things." ”
For Shi A, he was just a little ranger before, but now he follows Liu Xuan, sees Liu Xuan's rise step by step, and sees Liu Xuan's strength increase little by little, and he also has ambition in his heart, that is, to be a minister of the dragon.
"Woo! Woo!! ”
Suddenly, a long trumpet sounded from along.
As soon as this voice came out, the people on the ship were immediately alerted.
Shi Ah Dao: "The lord is going back to the cabin." ”
Liu Xuan shook his head, but just let Guo Jia go back to the cabin to dodge, and suddenly he was still standing on the deck and looking into the distance. It's just that Liu Xuan only has a telescope in his hand, and he gave it to Xu Huang.
He can't do anything now, he can only look through his eyes.
At a glance, I saw a large ship appear in the distance on the sea, and then it got closer and closer.
When the distance between the two sides was less than fifty zhang, Liu Xuan saw that the other party was wearing a big flag and waving. On the banner, there is a black word 'willow' embroidered.
Liu Xuan saw the person who came, and guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, one was a pirate, and the other was an official ship.
If it's an official ship, it's okay to say.
Once you encounter pirates, you have to go to war.
