Huo Jian, Gongsun Pei, Zhao Rong, Guo Yuan, Han Yang, Guan Ning, Wang Lie, Xu Yi and other henchmen arrived at the same time on the afternoon of the fourth day, humbly admitting their mistakes to the lord Liu Cun, and submitting the revised Jinan New City construction plan to Liu Cun for review.

Liu Cun was very happy to get rid of a major heart disease, and he truthfully explained to his confidants the original intention and specific implementation of his establishment of the "Internal Affairs Bureau", imploring everyone's support and understanding, and finally announced a principle that reassures everyone:

"Civil officials above the rank of Taishou and military attachés above the rank of lieutenant are not included in the monitoring and investigation of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and have the power to supervise and impeach the Internal Affairs Bureau!"

That night, Liu Cun warmly retained all his henchmen, personally cooked a few specialty dishes, and took out a collection of fine wines to entertain him.

Just when he was drinking happily, Lu Jiu, deputy director of the Military Command Department and captain of the Zhushan Battalion, suddenly arrived and reported an important news to Liu Cun and the strategists:

"Dong Zhuo left Lu Bu to lead his troops to defend Luoyang to resist Sun Jian's army, and he himself has led Li Dao's troops and Hu Zhen's remnants to retreat to Hangu Pass in the west, and it seems that he is going to give up Luoyang."

Liu Cun invited Lu Jiu to the table and immediately discussed countermeasures with the strategists.

Gongsun Pei and the others felt that the matter was important, and they had no interest in drinking, so they immediately analyzed the suddenly changed situation and predicted the time when Yuan Shao was plotting Jizhou.

In order to stop Yuan Shao's plot against Jizhou, Zhao Rong's strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" was unanimously approved by everyone: before the autumn harvest, persuade the Yellow Turban Army entrenched in the central and eastern foothills of Mount Tai to besiege Taishan County in Yanzhou, no matter how much it costs, but also to urge the Taishan Yellow Turban Army to occupy Fenggao (now Fan Town, east of Tai'an, Shandong), Bo County (now Qiujiadian Town, Daiyue District, Tai'an), and Liangfu (about 30 miles south of Bo County)!

The day after the decision is made. Liu Cun left Lu Jiu and his military advisor Zhao Rong behind, and urgently ordered Ji Wei, Lu Pei, Xu Yan and a thousand elite soldiers of the Lingshan Battalion to concentrate in the base camp of Wuying Mountain. Ni Qing, the commander of the Beihai State and the former Yellow Turban Army Xu and the scout commander of the department, was dispatched, and Li Mian, the right governor of the Navy Army, Guan Hai, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Qingzhou Army, and Zhang Rao, the commander of the Fifth Division, were urgently summoned. Work together on a battle plan.

Ten days later, Liu Cun's military intelligence agency made major adjustments:

The "Zhushan Battalion" under Lu Jiu's command and the "Lingshan Battalion" under Lu Pei's command were merged, and all the external intelligence stations and intelligence personnel of the two departments were placed under the unified jurisdiction of Lu Jiu, a lieutenant of the Military Command Bureau.

The "Lingshan Battalion" now has 1,500 elites divided into three, and the 200 older soldiers have all been promoted to the next level. Transferred to the "Supervision Office" under the Administration of Internal Affairs to strengthen the executive force, directly under the director Xu Yan under the command of the dispatch, stationed in the Linzi General's Mansion barracks, the external identity of Liu Cun's personal guard battalion soldiers.

The remaining 200 elite officers and men of the 1,300 officers and men were assigned to the "special service room" of the Military Command Department under the command of Lu Pei, and returned to the Lingshan training base to carry out special skills training such as infiltrating behind enemy lines, murdering, arson, and creating chaos.

Subsequently. Liu Cun appointed Ni Qing as the chief general of the "Haw Par Battalion" and promoted Sima of other departments to be responsible for the training and operational command of the "Haw Par Battalion"; Liang Xuan, the captain of Guan Hai's personal guard, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant of the "Tiger and Leopard Battalion" and served as the deputy general of the "Tiger and Leopard Battalion". The whole battalion conducted a three-month tactical training at the base camp of Wuyingshan, and then secretly went to Boshan New Town, 150 miles northeast of Fenggao, to stand by.

On June 1 of the second year of Chuping, the third phase of student distribution of Chengyang Martial Arts Academy was successfully completed. One hundred and forty-two graduating cadets were assigned to the Qingzhou Army Infantry Cavalry Army, the Langya Army Infantry Cavalry Army, and the Qingzhou Navy Army, and served in military or military positions at all levels. Among them, Li Zao was appointed as the Sima of the Infantry Brigade of the Qingzhou Navy Army, and Gao Ran was awarded the rank of lieutenant in the army. He became the deputy general of Zhang He, the commander of the second division of the Qingzhou Army.

Subsequently, Liu Cun's order to lead the Fifth Division of the Qingzhou Army led by Zhang Rao, a general of Fenwu, to the Mazhan Fortress in the west of Dongguan County, Chengyang County, to take over the defense of Dong'an, Dongguan and the areas west of Dongwu, and to coordinate with the Langya Second Division stationed in Mengyin in the south, and cooperate with the implementation of the autumn battle plan.

Cheng Ji, who had been stationed at the Mazhan fortress for a long time, completed the handover of defense, led 5,000 officers and soldiers back to the Wuyingshan camp, eliminated the old and weak and reorganized, and after three months of training, he was merged into the Linzi Garrison Battalion.

After everything was arranged, Liu Cun returned to the Linzi General's Mansion, and before he had time to sit down and drink saliva, a jaw-dropping urgent report was delivered:

Yuan Shao suddenly announced to the outside world that he appointed Zhou Ang, a confidant general and former Huiji Taishou, as the assassin of Yuzhou, and Zhou Ang immediately led his troops to occupy Yangcheng, the seat of Yuzhou (now east of Luohe City, Henan), and then captured Luyang, the rear base camp of Sun Jian's army, in a surprise attack, killing more than 3,000 officers and soldiers left behind by Sun Jian's army, cutting off the grain route of Sun Jian's army, and transporting a large number of forcibly seized grain and materials back to Yangcheng.

At this time, Sun Jian has been in Luoyang, and sent the general Cheng Pu to lead the division straight into the pond, Lu Bu was deeply afraid that the back road would be cut off, and hurriedly withdrew from Luoyang to retreat to the pond, Sun Jian won without a fight, waved the division into the ruined Luoyang city without soldiers, the next morning suddenly heard that Yuan Shao appointed Zhou Ang as the assassin of Yuzhou and captured his rear base camp Luyang, Sun Jian was furious, immediately evacuated Luoyang and waved his army south, only three days to repel Zhou Ang, recapture Luyang, and the Dong alliance has since collapsed.

After reading the emergency report, Gongsun Pei, Zhao Rong and others, who were urgently recruited by Liu Cun, almost couldn't believe that this was the truth, and no one expected Yuan Shao to do such a stupid thing in a good situation!

The two hurriedly analyzed and deliberated with Liu Cun, and finally came to the conclusion: the Dong coalition army no longer exists, the dilapidated Luoyang and the surrounding two hundred miles are no longer inhabited, there is no value in seizing it, and the division and division of the princes from all walks of life is unstoppable, and Yuan Shao is likely to put all his forces into the conspiracy to fight for the annexation of the state and Jizhou!

The situation changed so quickly, which made Liu Cun and his henchmen feel unprepared, how dare they hesitate at the moment, and make a decision immediately after discussion:

1. Order General Fenwei Guan Hai to lead the Fourth Division of the Qingzhou Army to Zhu'a and station in Zhu'a to closely monitor the border area between Yanzhou and Jizhou;

2. Appointed Zhao Rong as the lieutenant general of the Qingzhou Army, led 20 members of the General's Mansion to Pingyuan City, assisted the deputy marshal of the Qingzhou Army and the general Tai Shici of the Xiaocai to form a command center, and persuaded Jizhou Mu Hanfu as much as possible to refuse Yuan Shao's forces to enter the hinterland of Jizhou.

In the next few days, Liu Cun and his strategists were discussing the current situation and formulating various response plans, but who knew that the plan had not yet been made, and there was shocking news again:

In order to avenge the murder of his brother, Gongsun Chan was about to go south to attack Yuan Shao, and announced in a high-profile manner that he would appoint his younger brother Gongsun Fan as the Taishou of the Bohai Sea, and Gongsun Fan had arrived in Tatecheng by boat and was on his way to visit Qingzhou Mu Liu Cun in Linzi!
