As the night wore on, the army rested for the night in this humble tent.

Lu Bu's handsome tent was still filled with warm candlelight, Lu Bu frowned, sitting cross-legged, but he was holding his cheeks and looking at a simple map in front of him.

Tonight's carnival has been going on until late, and after coming to this world for so long, I'm afraid this is the first time that Lu Bu has been so indulgent, of course, not himself, but to the group of soldiers under him.

He does not fully believe in strict management of soldiers, as if he absolutely does not agree with the one-sided view of "loving mothers and more defeated children", whether it is "strict" or "kind", in fact, it is just an attitude and means, but whether it is to treat his soldiers, or the children under his knees, it is impossible to be immutable, we must adapt measures to local conditions, but also according to the time conditions, in order to achieve the greatest results, but not to cause adverse consequences, after all, no matter which means are used to the extreme, it may not be a good thing.

However, as the lord, he can't rest now, and he can't sleep, so he ordered someone to go to Jia Xu to discuss something.

After all, it's so late, Lu Cui and they should also rest, Xun Yu and the others can't say anything to him, and it's only Jia Xu, Lu Bu doesn't mind squeezing this fox more.

Soon Jia Xu came, seeing that his eyes were clear, he didn't seem to be sleepy at all, and he didn't know if he couldn't sleep like Lu Bu.

He first asked Jia Xu to sit down opposite, and then said: "Wenhe, I always feel that our departure seems to be in a hurry, but now that I think about it, many problems have been taken into account." ”

Jia Xu: "I am willing to share the worries of the Lord......"

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said, "You and I can analyze our situation at the moment, our brains are really a little messy now." ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "The lord's march this time is to go to Wuyuan to expel Xianbei on the order of Dong Zhuo, but the lord also needs to be psychologically prepared, although the state is located on the border of the Han Dynasty, but if it involves Xianbei, Southern Xiongnu and other foreign forces, it is a complicated situation, and it is difficult to sort out for a while." Of course, I'm afraid that the lord knows more about these than Xu. ”

Lu Bu sighed. In fact, he also thought of these suddenly, and even he thought of the tragedy of the Wuhu Rebellion that had really happened in history, the root of the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains exhausted the strength of the Han people, giving the Hu people a chance to take advantage of, and he now even had an urge to immediately rush over and kill those Hu people, but he knew how unrealistic this was, and found himself in a complicated situation after leaving office. couldn't help but smile bitterly: "When you said this, I suddenly regretted it." ”

Jia Xu shook his head, "From this point of view, Bingzhou is indeed not a suitable place for development, but it should be thought of as a step forward for the lord." Or just rightly. Although this place is said to face the fierce eyes of Xianbei at any time, it is far away from the Central Plains and the place where it must be contested, looking down on the world's heroes, and entering the Central Plains can chase the deer, retreating can be wise to protect oneself, and it will not be like a corner of Liaodong that is in a safe corner, and the most important thing is that it can be played by the winner to gather the power needed. Ready to go. When the world is really in turmoil, the lord can take advantage of the situation. Fight for the world in one day. Lu Bu's ambition has been revealed, and Jia Xu doesn't have so many scruples when he speaks.

"The real chaos in the world?"

Lu Bu felt that he understood Jia Xu's meaning a little, although there are many princes in the world now, most of them are not blatantly anti-Han, that is, strictly speaking, it is still the Han Dynasty, but there is infighting, and because of Dong Zhuo, the target of the public, the first target of the princes is often him.

But after the failure of the first alliance against Dong, now the princes are more cautious in their attitude towards Dong Zhuo, although as long as Dong Zhuo survives for one day, the formation of the second alliance is a foreseeable inevitability, but the precedent of the failure of the first alliance against Dong is still there, and they all need time to heal this wound, that is to say, although the troubled times have begun, now is not the best time for Lu Bu to come out and fight for hegemony.

However, Jia Xu said: "Even so, it is impossible for the lord to only stay in the four counties of Bingzhou, not to mention that even if these four counties are not necessarily in the hands of the lord, don't forget Nandan Yuting in the north of Xihe and south of Wuyuan." However, the lord is now the imperial court justifiably recognized and the state pastor, occupy the name of righteousness, and in addition to the four counties, there are also five counties in Yunzhong, three counties in the hands of Yuan Shao, two counties in the hands of Zhang Yang, the lord in the expulsion of the Southern Xiongnu, stable dìng four counties, can first take Zhang Yang, and then drive Yuan Shao, monopolize the state, and when the state has a stable foothold, you can consider eastward expansion. Of course, this is also the ideal state in Xianbei and Xiqiang without interference, and the battle is smooth. ”

"The state is not a suitable place for development, and there are three places that can really be used as a foundation. One of them is Guanzhong, the so-called Guanzhong gets the world, since Qin, Guanzhong is the place where the soldiers must fight, and it is the place where the dragon vein thrives, but now Chang'an has Niu Fu to guard, and there are huge family forces such as Wei's in secret, and look at its surroundings, the west is related to the alliance of small princes in the west, and the east is Dong Zhuo, the world's largest tiger side, too dangerous, first of all; The second is Hedong, the land of Hedong is the important land of Gyeonggi, since Emperor Guangwu, it has become the center of the world, but this is occupied by Dong Zhuo, although the lord is not afraid of him, but he must first avoid its edge, and slow development is the right way; The third is Hebei, Hebei has experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and now there are more Jizhou Han Fu, Youzhou Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao and other princes of the war, to look at it, Han Fu and Gongsun Chan are defeated only sooner or later, on the army and generals, they are not as good as Yuan Shao, on the prestige of connections, they are also inferior, and then on the momentum of victory and defeat, Han Fu is not as good as a dog that guards the success, Gongsun Chan's position is not right, and the rule is not stable, vainly seeking to confront Yuan Shao is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ”

Lu Bu nodded, now the situation in Hebei is indeed as Jia Xu said, and Lu Bu also knows that in "history" it is indeed Yuan Shao who wiped out Han Fu and Gongsun Zan one by one, dominating Hebei, according to the four counties of Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou, which can be described as the largest prince in the world, but unfortunately he was later defeated in the hands of Cao Cao, who was weaker than him.

"Wen He is saying that he wants to unite Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan?" Although he heard this meaning, Lu Bu still had to ask.

But he didn't want Jia Xu to shake his head, and said with a smile: "The lord misunderstood what I meant, Xu didn't want the lord to unite with these two, isn't this just giving people a handle?" He wants the lord to persuade the war in the name of the imperial court......"

Lu Bu was stunned, persuaded to fight? It's such an unfamiliar word, but he faintly reminisced about it.

Jia Xu didn't care whether he understood it or not, and continued to explain: "Of course, it's not that the lord really wants to persuade the lord to fight, if they don't fight, how can the lord profit from it?" It's just that the lord needs a legitimate excuse to join in, and persuasion is an excuse, everyone is an important minister of the Son of Heaven and a pillar of the Han Dynasty, what does the fight look like? Of course, this persuasion can't be persuaded alone, the lord's golden body, of course, needs someone to protect, but that's how we are subordinates or not at ease, more than 10,000 of the 30,000 and state troops are determined to follow to protect the lord, the lord can't, everyone is loyal, it's not easy to refuse, so I had to lead them to Jizhou together, this Jizhou always has to sweep out a few cities to accommodate the army to rest, and you can't always eat and sleep in the open, right? ”

Looking at Jia Xu who was talking about these things in a serious way in front of him, Lu Bu smashed his mouth and suddenly felt a little toothache. (To be continued.) )
