When Gao Ping practiced soldiers in Xiaopei, the melee in the Central Plains gradually came to an end, Yuan Shao used the strategy of the strategist Tian Feng to be frustrated, coupled with the martial arts of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and defeated Gongsun Zhan, and the world-famous Youyan Iron Cavalry went to seven out of ten, and Gongsun Chan was forced to retreat to the Fanyang area.

Yizhou Mu Liu Yan died, and his son Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne.

Cao Cao broke the yellow scarf He Yi in Runan, received countless gold silk grain and grass, and received the fierce general "Tiger Idiot" Xu Chu in Gepo, since then there are Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, etc. for their scheme, Wu has fierce generals Xu Zhu, Dian Wei, Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, etc. for its conquest of the Quartet, and also have the land of Ru and Ying, and the prestige is flourishing.

In the winter of the fifth year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, Xuzhou, Xiaopei

Gao Ping received the information that Cao Cao pacified Runan, and then rushed to see Liu Bei, in any era of war is indispensable spies, so Gao Ping took over Liu Beijun's intelligence agency at the beginning of his tenure, but the number is pitiful, fortunately, Jian Yong came from the plains to hand over the intelligence organization in his hand to Gao Ping before it began to take shape, Gao Ping wanted to spare a lot of money to train an excellent spy team, but unfortunately the first did not have enough time, the second Liu Bei was too poor, and now it is very difficult to feed these thousands of soldiers, fortunately, Liu Bei recently married the daughter of Xiao Pei surnamed Gan, The Gan family is rich, a little to solve the urgent need, the third is Gao Ping's lack of skills, today was invited by Guan Yu to teach the formation, tomorrow was pulled by Zhang Fei to train cavalry, when Gao Ping inadvertently talked about the strategy of cavalry, Zhang Fei simply pulled Gao Ping for three days to train his troops, but he was worry-free, so that Gao Ping was very angry. Fortunately, Zhou Cang and He Man shared the training of the Flying Dragon Battalion, and Jian Yong and Chen Qun arranged Xiaopei's government affairs, so that Gao Ping did not have to worry about government affairs.

In the Xiaopei Mansion, when Gao Ping walked in quickly, Guan, Zhang, Jian Yong, Chen Qun and others arrived early. There is a Confucian scholar in the middle of the seat, with a slightly chubby body, thin eyes and a round face, a white face and no beard, and quite a rich man. Mi Zhu frowned deeply, as if he had something on his mind.

"Now Cao Cao has leveled Ru, Ying's land, will soon be in Xuzhou, hope Xuande will make a decision early, late will be afraid of accidents" everyone saw the ceremony Bi Jian Yong said urgently, Jian Yong was a fellow villager of Liu Bei, and Liu Bei had a good relationship when he was young, and then fought with Liu Bei for many years, Liu Bei was quite close to him, and only Jian Yong called Liu Bei the word in Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei was silent.

Capturing Xuzhou as soon as possible is the foundation of the struggle for world domination, which is the first strategic goal set by Gao Ping for Liu Bei, Tao Qian is 63 years old this year, and he died this year in history. According to history, after his death, Xuzhou will be handed over to Liu Bei in accordance with his wishes, in Gao Ping's impression, Liu Bei should have no problem obtaining the power of Xuzhou, first of all, when Liu Bei first arrived in Xuzhou to rescue, Tao Qian intended to let Xuzhou and Liu Bei, and Liu Bei and Xuzhou Mi Zhu, the patriarch of the Mi clan, met at first sight in Beihai, Tao Qian's day is not far away, in Mi Zhu's heart by Liu Bei to succeed Xuzhou Mu is the most suitable from the consideration of family interests or his own selfishness. Liu Bei's two refusals deepened Mi Zhu and the Xuzhou clan's appreciation of Liu Bei's benevolence, with the support of the Mi family, it can be said that Liu Bei has everything in Xuzhou, only owes the east wind, this east wind is Tao Qian's critical illness, but that is history, history sometimes deceives people, and the reality is far from so simple.

Judging from Mi Zhu's anxious look, Gao Ping judged that the political situation in Xuzhou was about to change, and it was very likely that Tao Qian's day of going was not far away, since Liu Bei Tun soldiers Xiaopei Mi Zhu came to visit from time to time, and the relationship with Liu Bei was also closer, and the words revealed that he wanted to marry his sister and Liu Bei.

"Mi Bei came here this time, isn't it Tao Gong'......" Gao Ping did not say anything behind him.

Mi Zhu sighed and said: "Now Tao Gong is seriously ill, and he is gradually unable to take charge of state affairs, and the day of the limit is probably not far away, and the two sons of Tao Gong are not the lords of the world, the eldest son Tao Shang is brave and ruthless, and has a close relationship with the generals in the army, and there is a surname Cao in Xuzhou, and the support of the Xu family, there is a great tendency for the son to inherit his father's business; And the second son Tao should be a shrewd person, the city is quite deep, won the love of a number of civil officials, the two forces secretly compete, in the counties of Xuzhou secretly cultivate their own power, Tao Gongjian in the second son does not dare to openly fight, if one day Tao Gong died, I am afraid that the two sons will fight for the position of the state pastor will start infighting, both of them are ambitious, short-sighted, if in the peaceful world, the pastoral side is also reluctant, now the troubled times are rising, Shandong Cao Cao, Shouchun Yuan Shu, Hebei Yuan Shao are like a hungry tiger coveted by the side, then Xuzhou will inevitably fall into dire straits! ”

After saying that, Mi Zhu stood up from his seat and saluted Liu Bei Shili to the main seat: "According to Zhu's opinion, so that Jun should take advantage of Tao Gong's presence to quickly take over Xuzhou, so as to make Jun's people hopeful, coupled with Guan Zhang's courage and courage and Ziqing's resourcefulness, maybe he will suppress the second son, so that he will not dare to act rashly, and then Xu Tuzhi."

Mi Zhu's anxious color was overflowing.

"This ......" Xuzhou is bordered by the sea in the east, Huaishui in the south, Qilu in the north, millions of households, and the people are rich. To tell the truth, in Liu Bei's heart, he really hopes to get the position of Xuzhou Mu, but Liu Bei has a firm principle of being a man, that is, what he does must be righteous, and now Tao Qian is alive, rashly leading the position of Zhou Mu will inevitably lead to rumors from all directions, saying that Liu Bei saved Xuzhou for his own selfish desires, so Liu Bei did not agree to Tao Qian twice. This is one, on the other hand, Liu Bei can see that the political situation in Xuzhou is quite complicated, this big seal is extremely heavy, and if he takes it before the time is ripe, he will be burned.

"Brother Zizhong's words are wrong!" Gao Ping saw Liu Bei hesitate and said aloud.

"Oh! What is Ziqing's opinion? Mi Zhu asked in surprise, the young man in front of him was Liu Bei's confidant, and Liu Bei admired him in his words, Mi Zhu often secretly laughed at Liu Bei at first that he didn't know how to be virtuous and foolish, but he could no longer despise Gao Ping through the last bet with Cao Bao.

After a few contacts, the businessman's unique sensitivity told him that this person is not simple, throughout the past and the present, the side of the expedition often makes Mi Zhu unable to answer, Mi Zhu has also raised some business tricky questions in the hope of stumping Gao Ping, but Gao Ping is like a business genius, not only answered Mi Zhu's problems, but also put forward a new set of business concepts to make Mi Zhu amazing!

"I think that anyone can plot Xuzhou at the moment, but the lord cannot," Gao Ping said slowly

Everyone in the hall looked at Gao Ping with puzzled eyes, waiting for his next step.

Gao Ping raised three fingers and said: "The former Tao Gong turned over the two to let Xuzhou in the lord, one is grateful for the lord's righteousness, and the other is to keep the lord as a strong reinforcement, once Cao Cao returns, the lord will be its forerunner, the three lords are majestic, act benevolently and decisively, when they first arrived in Xuzhou, the people, and the clan will be praised, but the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; The mound of soil is on the shore, the water will be turbulent, Tao Fujun is half a life, and he is also a hero, so that Xuzhou's move, the heart of the people, the righteousness of the lord, and the three have a strong reinforcement to resist foreign enemies,"

Gao Ping paused, and after everyone digested what they just said, he said: "However, with a flat view, this move is really a temptation and warning, and even if Tao Gong's move is not malicious, but the lord is placed on the cusp, Fang Jin's two sons are jealous, and Cao Cao is like a tiger on the side, at this time, Tao Gong's proposal to give way is not to put the lord in the public target, and there are many factions in Xuzhou, and there will be many factions in Xuzhou, and he will not welcome my lord, don't drive in Xuzhou for a long time, I believe it is the clearest?" ”

Gao Ping saw that Mi Zhu seemed to have a sudden meaning, so he asked.

The first two are indeed true, and the last one is Gao Ping's own figure, but the more serious the matter is at this time, the more Mi Zhu's true meaning can be squeezed.

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, but they didn't expect that Tao Qian, who seemed kind on the surface, would make Xuzhou's move affect so many people, and at the same time, they were all impressed by Gao Ping's in-depth analysis.

Zhang Fei has always been straight, and he can't get around so many bends, so he said in a rough voice: "It doesn't matter what others do, that old man Tao intends to let Xuzhou Yu my eldest brother, and he is not robbing his state and county, the eldest brother only takes over the state pastor, but if there is someone who does not obey, I will stab him to death with a spear" After saying that, he rubbed his palms, stared wide-eyed, and looked like he was desperate to find someone, Gao Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, when will this third master Zhang grow up! Do you have to wait until after entering Shu?

Liu Bei frowned and shouted: "Third brother can't mess around, act recklessly like you, we are really like robbers" Guan Yu also grabbed Zhang Fei's arm, and after drinking Zhang Fei, Liu Bei turned to Mi Zhu and said: "Zizhong might as well explain the dispute between the various forces in Xuzhou in detail, and then make calculations."

Mi Zhu bowed slightly: "Xuzhou has Langya, Guangling, Pengcheng, Donghai, Huaiyin five counties, Langya territory, Tibetan tyrant, Sun Guan and other yellow turban rebellion, Cao Bao repeatedly disagreed, but lost the army and generals, its land has not obeyed the state pastoral order for a long time, the other four counties are in the hands of several big families, these Mi family in the middle of the Mi family to Pengcheng as the center, the Chen family as the center of the Pi, the Zhao family to Guangling as the center of the Cao family, the Xu family to the East China Sea as the center, the rest of the Sun, Wang and other big families can not be ignored, if not Tao Gongde is highly respected, There is a high prestige among the people of Xuzhou, I am afraid that Xuzhou has been divided, even so, most of the power in Xuzhou is also in the hands of these families, so that if you want to take over Xuzhou smoothly, I am afraid you will need the support of these families." At this time, Mi Zhu suddenly fell silent, his face was full of melancholy, as if he had thought of something serious.

Gao Ping said: "And among these families, the head of the Mi family is not the master of the family, you will spare no effort to support my father-in-law" said and glanced at Mi Zhu deeply, Mi Zhu said generously: "The Mi family will fully support Liu Yuanjun"

Gao Ping smiled slightly and continued: "The current head of the Chen family, Chen Deng, and his father Chen Qi have a vague attitude towards our master, there is no great interest, it may not be easy to persuade them, and the Zhao family is entrenched in Guangling County and does not listen to Xuzhou's dispatch for a long time, its head Zhao Yu is close to Yuan Shu in the south, as if he has divided Guangling from Xuzhou, and the remaining head of the Cao family is Cao Bao in the army, Cao Bao is not very good at fighting but firmly grasps the military power into his own hands, this person looks reckless, but in fact he is scheming, and his methods are vicious, and it is really difficult to get him to agree than to ascend to the sky." , The head of the Xu family is Xu Tan, the number two person in the army, and the two of them have close contacts with the eldest son, and their intention is obviously to support the eldest prince to succeed to the throne", Gao Ping then Mi Zhu's analysis went deeper.

Mi Zhu was obviously stunned when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "I never thought that this person would be able to understand the various forces in Xuzhou not long ago, and analyze them thoroughly, Liu Bei will achieve great things with his help."

Then he stepped forward and praised: "Ziqing's sentences are beautiful, and the situation in front of him is vividly and vividly divided, which makes Zhu deeply admired."

"Don't overdo it"

"It's so complicated, but what are we going to do?" Guan Yu asked helplessly.
