Qiao Xuan said goodbye and left, but Liu Ye was left behind by Yuan No, who was ready to have a long talk.

When Yuan was first awarded the Magi, he couldn't help but want to follow Liu Bei's example and ask Liu Ye for advice on his future plans.

However, before asking Liu Ye for future plans, Yuan Wei still had a question in his heart that he wanted to ask Liu Ye, if he didn't figure out the answer to this question, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

Liu Ye had already seen if Yuan had any questions to ask, and said with a smile: "What questions does the lord have?" ”

Yuan Wei looked at Liu Ye and said: "Sir, Yuan Mou's soldiers are only 4,000, and he will not be able to do Ji Ling, not to mention that compared with Cao Cao and Sun Ce, who dominate the Central Plains and dominate Jiangdong, it is also much inferior to Liu Biao, who is sitting on Jingxiang, Mr. is a great talent, why not Cao Cao and Sun Ce, but are willing to be used by Yuan?" ”

Liu Ye smiled slightly, and asked Yuan if he didn't answer: "What does the lord think?" ”

Yuan knows that with a master like Liu Ye, you'd better not play any mysteries.

Otherwise, even a boiled duck may fly away, for example, Guo Jia had already invested in Yuan Shao's command to prepare for his grand plans, but because Yuan Shao was tricky and unwilling to be honest with Guo Jia, Guo Jia made an assertion that "there is a name for love, but there is no love for talent", and then drifted away.

Yuan didn't want to repeat Yuan Shao's mistakes and miss Liu Ye, who was finally recruited.

At that moment, Yuan said sincerely: "Yuan can roughly guess one or two, but he doesn't know if it's accurate." ”

Liu Ye smiled and said: "My lord, please try to speak, and listen to me." ”

Yuan Wei said: "First, it should be because Yuan's temperament is acceptable. ”

Liu Ye stroked his palms and laughed: "Yes, the lord has a tough temperament, Long Kangfu has undergone great changes, but the lord can forget his grief overnight, and the commander of the three armies defeated Sun Ce; Then there is the nest of Tuntian, the lord has suffered many hardships, even the grandfather thought that the lord would not be able to continue, but the lord finally persevered and did not let Tuntian fall short. ”

"The lord's heart is tenacious, I'm afraid he is not under the king of Yue!"

"The lord has such tenacity, why worry about big things?"

Yuan was slightly blushed by Liu Ye's words, am I really so good?

Waving his hand, Yuan Wei said again: "Second, it should be because Yuan was decisive in trouble." ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Exactly, the lord is decisive in the face of trouble, and he can do it, and there is no delay in the slightest." ”

said it, but Liu Ye thought in his heart that it was just good to say that it was good to be decisive when it was in trouble, and it was ruthless to say it if it was unpleasant!

In order to appease the anger of the people, he did not hesitate to kill his uncle Yuan Yin! is so ruthless that it is absolutely beyond the reach of people.

But then again, the big husband does something and doesn't do it, and those who achieve great things don't refuse small things, if you want to achieve great things, it is categorically impossible if you are not ruthless.

Let's just say that Cao Cao is the most vicious person in the world!

Yuan said: "As for the third, Yuan can't guess. ”

Liu Ye knew that when it came to this, it was time for him to be open and honest.

At that moment, Liu Ye turned pale and said: "The lord has a tough temperament, does not lose to Sun Ce, is decisive in trouble, and is not inferior to Cao Cao, but the reason why he abandoned Sun Ce and Cao Cao and voted for the lord is not because of this!" ”

After a pause, Liu Ye knelt down from the seat, gave Yuan Wei a long bow, and said solemnly: "The reason why I defected to the lord is because the lord cares about Li Shu and is a real benevolent!" The lord may not be a loyal minister, but even if he becomes a powerful minister in the future, he will definitely treat the world well. ”

Hearing Liu Ye unabashedly say that Yuan Quan would not become a loyal minister, but would become a powerful minister, Yuan Nuo couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

As a traversing person, of course Yuan Wei will admire the once powerful Han Dynasty, although those who commit me to a strong man will be punished even if they are far away, this sentence will be a household name in later generations! But to say that Yuan will become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty because of this, and die to protect the Han Dynasty, it is a bit wishful thinking.

If Yuan is a modern person, how can he have the idea of loyalty?

However, Liu Ye's words also gave Yuan Wei another layer of worry.

Liu Ye seems to be the great-great-grandson of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, his heart must be towards the Han family, if he Yuan has a conflict with the Han family in the future, Liu Ye may not be on his side.

But it's too early to think about these now, at the moment he is just a lonely and poor guest army living in Lujiang, and he is not even a prince at all, so why worry about falling out with the Han family?

But through the conversation just now, Yuan Wei has been convinced that Liu Ye is sincere.

At that moment, Yuan Wei grabbed Liu Ye's hand and said, "Ziyang, can you tell Yuan about the general trend of the world?" ”

"Absolutely." After Liu Ye finished speaking, he solemnly took out a map of mountains and rivers from his sleeve, unfolded it on the floor, and then stepped on the map and said to Yuan Wei, "My lord, please see, this is the whole map of the twelve states of the Han Dynasty plus the division of the school captain, and all the forces in each state have been marked. ”

Yuan Wei looked down, this is just a very general map, even the basic direction is not right, and its fineness cannot be compared with the maps of later generations, but Yuan Wei knows that in this era, this map is extremely rare, Liu Ye must have consulted a large number of ancient books in order to draw this map, and put a lot of effort into it.

Yuan Wei shook Liu Ye to the ground and said, "Please also ask Mr. to show me." ”

Liu Ye stepped on the map and said: "Lord, let's talk from north to south, let's talk about Youzhou and Bingzhou first, these two states are Gongsun Zhan's territory at the moment, Gongsun Zhan is mean and unkind, rigid and self-serving, and there are many Hu people in the land of Youjun, and Gongsun Zhan will definitely not be Yuan Shao's opponent, and he will be defeated within two years!" ”

With just this sentence, Yuan Fu was completely convinced.

Coats is Coats, it is a unique vision!

Liu Ye's estimation is exactly the same as the historical facts, in history, Gongsun Zhan was defeated two years later, and then built a building in Yijing, ** and died?

Moreover, Liu Ye even predicted the cause of Gongsun Zhan's defeat.

The reason for Gongsun Zhan's defeat was because he was mean and unkind, bullying and oppressing Wuhuan and Xianbei too much, which led to Wuhuan and Xianbei falling to Yuan Shao, and then being defeated under the attack of Hu Ren and Yuan Shao.

Liu Ye continued: "Let's talk about Jizhou and Qingzhou, Yuan Shao, the lord of Jiqing, is the uncle of the lord clan, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, and the Hongnong Yang clan are the same domestic wang clan, and the protégés are all over the world, and the trend of its sweeping Hebei has taken shape, however, the lord please forgive me for saying bluntly, Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, nepotism, and may not be Cao Cao's opponent." ”

In addition to admiration or admiration, Liu Ye not only expected that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would have a battle, but even the result of the battle of Guandu was almost predicted.

Liu Ye said again: "Let's talk about Yanzhou Cao Cao, Xuzhou Lu Bu, Cao Cao's mouth is Tianxian, the Central Plains is subdued, Lu Bu eagle looks at the wolf Gu, the world is unparalleled, want to take these two states, it is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, with the reputation and strength of the lord at this time, it is extremely difficult and impossible to seek Yanzhou and Xuzhou." ”

Yuan Wei said self-deprecatingly: "Mr. is not polite, Yuan is quite self-aware, if he wants to compete with Cao Cao of Chongzhou and Lu Bu of Xuzhou, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and taking his humiliation in vain!" ”

Liu Ye snorted, and said: "Besides, the Sili Captain's Department, since Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, the Xiliang Army has always plundered and killed the good and risked the merits, and the population of Guanzhong is already one in ten, and it is easy for Li Dao and Guo Yan to be wiped out, but it is extremely difficult to re-govern Guanzhong, and it is impossible to do it at least thirty years, so the Sili Captain's Department is not enough to rely on." ”

"Liangzhou is located in a remote area, although it has the advantage of cavalry, but the population is too small, and the food and grass are insufficient."

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yuzhou, it has been connected by wars and disasters, and now it is thieves and thieves, and the people are withered, not to mention that Yuzhou is close to Yanzhou, it can be said that Cao Cao is on the side of the couch, how can Cao Cao allow others to steal Yuzhou?"

"The six counties of Yangzhou are rich, enough to raise millions of soldiers, which could have become the foundation of the lord's public security, but unfortunately, due to the usurpation of the emperor by the first lord, the people's prestige has been lost, and at present, the general trend of the Sun family sweeping Jiangdong has taken shape, but the lord can no longer compete with it, so Yangzhou is not enough to be a basis."

"Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are weak and incompetent, they are quite popular, and there are many scholars in Jingxiang, and there are many heroes in Shu.

After listening to Liu Ye's introduction one by one, Yuan Fu's eyes fell on the last Jiaozhou, and said with a wry smile: "In this way, Yuan only has an effective law Zhao Tuo, seeking Jiaozhou as the foundation of his life?" ”
