When Liu Bei's information spread to Jiangdong, it was already two months later, and Jiangdong had just finished Chinese New Year's Eve at this time, and was still in a festive atmosphere.

Lu An sat at the top of the hall of the mansion, looking at the information he had just received in his hand, his expression was a little strange, and finally he couldn't help but say to himself: "This Liu Ran is really pervasive, and he has found a new opportunity so soon." ”

Yizhou is located in a remote area, and there are many mountain roads, the transportation is not very convenient, and Lu An's attention has been on the war that Yuan Cao is about to start recently, so he pays a little less attention to Liu Bei, but I didn't expect that it was only a few months later, Liu Bei found an opportunity to rise, although the intelligence only shows that Liu Zhang gave Liu Bei 30,000 troops to resist Zhang Lu, but Lu An, who is familiar with the historical trend and Liu Bei's character, knows that Liu Zhang's 30,000 army is probably a meat bun and a dog to fight and have no return. It is even very likely that he will become the elite of Liu Bei's counterattack against Yizhou in the future.

"If Liu Bei really takes Yizhou, with his ambition and the civil and military strength under his command, I am afraid that it will pose a considerable threat to my Jingzhou!" Thinking of the serious consequences of being seized by Liu Bei, Lu An couldn't help but think: "Should I send a letter to Liu Zhang to remind me?" ”

It's easy to write a letter, but Lu An is afraid that Liu Zhang won't believe him, after all, he and Liu Zhang don't have any friendship, and Liu Bei and Liu Zhang are the same clan, especially at this time Liu Bei still has a name of benevolence and righteousness.

"It's better to write a letter, do your best!" After hesitating in his mind, Lu An still decided to write a secret letter to Liu Zhang, not expecting the other party to believe it, but at least hoping that the other party could keep an eye on Liu Bei and have some doubts about Liu Bei, so that it could also add some blockage to Liu Bei.

Pulling out a piece of white paper from the table, it took two sticks of incense to write the letter, and after the pen and ink were slightly dry, Lu An called Niu Wa and asked him to send the letter to Liu Zhang's mansion in Yizhou.

"My subordinates will send someone to do it immediately!" Niu Wa took the letter very respectfully and slowly retired.

"By the way, call Dr. Chen over, and say that I have something to look for him!" Before Niu Wa left, Lu An remembered something and commanded again.

"Lord, are you looking for me?" A moment later, Chen Gong hurried over and asked.

Lu An pointed to a chair at the bottom: "Sit!" ”

"Thank you, lord!" Chen Gong arched his hand, but he also sat down on a chair next to him without restraint.

In this era, there was no chair, but now it has appeared, naturally related to Lu An, he is really not used to the way the ancients kneeling and sitting, feeling too tired, so he asked the craftsman to create a variety of chairs according to the shape of later generations, with the gradual expansion of Lu An's power, these things have also swept the entire Han Dynasty, and now except for some border places, almost every state and county family likes to use this small and convenient stool and chair.

"I called you, in fact, there is nothing else, mainly to ask you, how have you been in control of intelligence affairs recently?" After Chen Gong sat down, Lu An tapped his finger on the table and asked softly.

As a prince, there must be many secret agents under his command to listen to the intelligence of all parts of the world, so as to know the movements of the world as soon as possible, Lu An is naturally no exception, before, the intelligence work under his command has been under the control of Jia Xu, and later Jia Xu was sent to Huainan by him, and he threw it to Sun Shao, but Sun Shao is a political official, and the management of these chaotic intelligence work has been a little powerless, until Chen Gong came to vote, Lu An simply handed it over to Chen Gong.

"My lord, there are more than 300 spies sent by our army to all parts of the world, and my subordinates have basically completely grasped their specific situation!" Chen Gong replied.

"Hmm!" Lu An bowed slightly, and asked, "How is the situation in the Central Plains and Hebei?" ”

"According to the spies over there, Yuan Shao has been preparing grain and grass for many days, and his troops have begun to gather in Liyang, while Cao Cao is still the same, but he should also feel the slightest hostility from Yuan Shao, and he has added a lot of troops to the border between the Central Plains and Hebei!" After Chen Gong finished speaking, he paused, and said: "According to the current situation, my subordinates think that if nothing else, Yuan Shao will go south to declare war on Cao Cao at the beginning of spring this year. ”

"Hehe, it's finally coming to this day, I hope they will fight soon!" Lu An smiled slightly, and said with a hint of expectation.

There is a saying called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, which is the current situation, Yuan Shao as the most powerful prince in the world, if he does not move, Cao Cao will not dare to move, Cao Cao does not move, Lu An naturally can't move, this time Yuan Shao took the initiative to attack, regardless of whether history will be reversed in the same direction as before, but Lu An must do something in it, as for how to do it, it depends on the current situation.

Chen Gong did not answer, but there was also a hint of expectation between his eyebrows, now in such a situation, the battle between Yuan Cao is already a certainty, who wins and who loses between them Chen Gong is not clear, but one thing Chen Gong can be sure of is that as long as his lord focuses on this battle, then whether it is Yuan Shaosheng or Cao Cao Sheng, Jiangdong can grab some meat from it, after all, with Jiangdong's geographical location and existing troops, it has this kind of strength and opportunity.

"By the way, Gongtai, Liu Zhang gave Liu Bei 30,000 soldiers and horses to go to Yinping County to resist Zhang Lu, do you know?" Putting aside Yuan Cao's matter for the time being, Lu An asked about business.

"Just learned." Chen Gong replied.

"What do you think of Liu Bei?" Lu An asked.

"This person seems to be benevolent, but in fact he is cunning, and he is extremely ambitious, and he is not a subservient disciple!" Chen Gong hesitated for a moment before replying.

"You're pretty accurate!" Lu An nodded, and then ordered: "Send more spies to Yizhou during this period of time, especially Liu Bei's movements, and we must send them back as soon as possible." ”

"The lord means that Liu Bei may 、、、" Chen Gong looked shocked and felt a little incredible.

"Go ahead, I'm just trying to guard against him!" Lu An didn't answer, but waved his hand. Although he felt in his heart that Liu Bei would never let go of this opportunity, many things, before they happened, he would not jump to conclusions, after all, the wheel of history that has experienced the change of his little butterfly will not necessarily follow the original trajectory.

"Subordinates retire!" Chen Gong retreated in defeat, but his expression was still a little shocked. "Could it be that Liu Bei, a stinky salted fish, also has a chance to turn over?"

After Chen Gong left, Lu An was left alone in the hall, he took out a blank piece of paper, and made a simple force map on it, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and himself were all inside, after a simple glance, Lu An closed his eyes and began to think deeply, he needed to sort out all his thoughts, so that he could find the most suitable opportunity and make the most correct decision in the next battle.
