After Brother Zhu took the order given by Liu Xie to dispatch the Red Dragon Guard, Liu Xie looked at Fa Zheng again and said, "In the past half a month, what news has there been in the Central Plains?" ”

Fa Zheng glanced at Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu bowed and said, "The news in this regard has always been sorted out by Weichen. ”

In fact, the news to the outside world is sorted out by the military aircraft department, and then the military aircraft department transmits the news to Shangshutai. Although Brother Zhu and Yang Xiu are both Liu Xie's secretaries, they are still famous in the Military Aircraft Department. And this time, the layout is that Brother Zhu commanded the military aircraft department to act.

If there is no strong intelligence agency of the Military Aircraft Department to cooperate, no matter how high the wisdom of Brother Zhu is, it will be difficult for a clever man to cook without rice.

Now that the three bigwigs of the Military Aircraft Department are out on the expedition, Liu Xie asked Brother Zhu to preside over this matter, which also meant to test him and train him. What's more, there is still the Fa on the side to mention and assist, and the possibility of things going wrong is not very big. As for Liu Xie's tantrum before, it was just a reminder to them.

Liu Xie believes that they should not know the important surname of this matter, so they should just be acting just now, but they just want to get Liu Xie's personal advice and recognition. Since they wanted Shang Fang's sword, Liu Xie naturally wouldn't be reluctant to give it.

The Military Aircraft Department, in Liu Xie's thoughts, must not only have the Military Intelligence Department, but also the Central Intelligence Department. The Military Intelligence Department is external, and the Central Intelligence Department is internal, supervising all illegal acts of its internal subjects. This part of the function is what the Imperial Historical Observatory should do, but the Imperial Historical Observatory obviously does not have the time and energy, and it is impossible to touch some impossible corners. And at this time, the existence of the CIA is very necessary.

Just like the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty, if there is any wind and grass, the emperor can know it for the first time. Of course, the existence of this institution naturally has advantages and disadvantages, which does not need to be explained. But Liu Xie felt that as long as he existed, the existence of this institution was still very necessary.

At present, the functions of the Military Aircraft Division have not been separated, but from the perspective of long-term interests, the CIA will sooner or later be separated from the Military Aircraft Division.

"Ten days ago......" Yang Xiu began to say to Liu Xie, "news came from the Central Plains that Cao Ying had surrounded Lu Bu in Xiapi, according to Xiapi, according to Lu Bu's original defense, he should be preparing to defend in Xiapi, but for some reason, he suddenly led his troops to break through overnight and went all the way to the south, and now his whereabouts are unknown." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xie secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, this Lu Fengxian, wouldn't he really get his own reminder, so he was ready to break through!

All the way to the south, does he want to go to Jiangdong to carry the crown with the little overlord? However, this may not be a big surname, Lu Buqiang is in the cavalry, and when he arrives in the south, that is where he died.

After thinking about it, Liu Xie looked at Fa Zheng and said, "Has the Military Aircraft Department arranged for people to investigate their whereabouts?" There are so many people, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air all at once! Find out, send a letter to him on behalf of me, and tell him that in this world, whoever dares to use him Lu Bu is none other than me! ”

"Whoa!" Fa Zheng hesitated slightly, then bowed to the side and began to grind and write.

"Dezu, you go on!" Liu Xie pinched his chin and glanced at Yang Xiu.

"Whoa!" Yang Xiu bowed again and said: "After Cao Ying took Xuzhou, he let Cao Cao Zixiao sit in Xuzhou, and he returned to the dynasty with his class, and at the same time sent Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Miaocai to lead 5,000 as the forward, and he personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Liu Xie frowned and said puzzledly: "Didn't you say that Cao Mengde was short of food?" How can he keep fighting? ”

Yang Xiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty must not know that Cao Mengde got a lot of grain and grass from Yuan Highway, plus Xuzhou was almost taken by him in one go, so he didn't lose much food and salary at all, and he also got a lot of Lu Bu's grain stock, so there should be no problem to support them in the battle of Nanyang!" ”

Liu Xie nodded, feeling a little reasonable. After all, Cao Ying took Xuzhou, because there was no Liu Ranran's participation, so he didn't toss around in Xuzhou at all, and the loss was naturally much less. Think about the history because of Liu Ranran's participation, Xuzhou has changed hands several times!

Today's Xuzhou should be very different from Xuzhou in this period of history, not about the place, but about the population, as well as money and grain.

"Cao Mengde's soldiers pointed to Nanyang, what actions did Nanyang and Jingzhou have?" Liu Xie twisted his fingertips and asked.

"Jingzhou has reached an alliance agreement with Nanyang half a month ago, and after Cao Mengde marched to Nanyang, although Jingzhou did not send troops to support, it supported a lot of money and food." Yang Xiu smiled and said that from his smile, Liu Xie could see that he was a little dissatisfied with Jingzhou's approach.

"Do you have the idea of continuing to send someone to test Zhang Xiu?" Liu Xie asked again.

"Yes!" Yang Xiu smiled and said: "According to His Majesty's strategy for Zhang Xiu, we sent someone to test it twice, the first time Zhang Xiu was a little hesitant, but the second time he directly refused. Weiju thinks that we should wait until Zhang Xiu is hurt by Cao Mengde, but Jingzhou can't continue to help, and then let's take action! ”

Obviously, Yang Xiu also knew that Zhang Xiu now had Jingzhou as his backing, and did not consider Liu Xie, who was far away in Yizhou. agreed to his Liu Xie's conditions, and had to give up the land of Nanyang, which was a pity for Zhang Xiu, who finally grabbed the territory from Liu Biao.

But Liu Xie felt that Zhang Xiu was just used by Liu Biao as a shield. Maybe Liu Biao would be very angry when Nanyang was taken by Zhang Xiu at the beginning, but Liu Biao would not have thought that if Cao Ying went south, Zhang Xiu would become the first obstacle for him to go south, and he, Liu Biao, would be able to deploy calmly in the rear.

But even if Zhang Xiu knew Liu Biao's thoughts, he couldn't help it, because he needed a place to develop too much.

"In addition, the rebellion of Nanzhong Barbarians also has the shadow of Jingzhou Fanger behind it." Yang Xiu said again: "Jingzhou has increased 10,000 sailors, and the commander of the army is Zhang Yun. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "How is the naval army over there formed by Gan Xingba?" ”

Regarding the construction of the dock on Ganning's side and the formation of the naval army, Liu Xie rarely asked, and he has not seen it in the past. However, Liu Xie made a lot of suggestions for shipbuilding, although he didn't know much about shipbuilding, but he still knew about the keel between the warships.

It is precisely because of Liu Xie's proposal that the Yizhou Navy officially began to build such a keel warship.

And now, presumably there should be something gained, after all, it has been almost half a year. (To be continued.) )
