Luoyang at this time Luoyang city is full of colorful military flags, although some of the princes because of the far terrain, the army has not yet arrived in Luoyang, but the banner is pulled up in advance, after all, this is the alliance of princes, if you don't pull the banner, you have no right to speak!

Liu Bei's military camp is located in the west of the city, because Liu Bei sent 80,000 troops this time, and the territory occupied is still very large, this location was originally a gathering place for the rich households in Luoyang, but at this time, the rich families had already been taken to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, so it looked very desolate, not to mention the 80,000 army, even if it doubled, it would be more than enough. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Che Cavalry General's Mansion (temporary) "Big brother, you said that the alliance is facing off against His Highness the God King, is there any hope of winning?" Liu Bei's third brother Fan Hong was sitting opposite Liu Bei at this time, and said with a little irritable expression, although it was said that Fan Hong had always had the idea of fighting on the battlefield with the generals of Northern Xinjiang, but in front of him

"Third brother, on the battlefield, the outcome is unpredictable, how can the eldest brother expect it?" Glancing at Fan Hong reproachfully, Kong Yun, who is a think tank in Jiangdong, said loudly, this time Liu Bei will ally the princes, Kong Yun has always been by his side, but he rarely comes up with ideas, because the current situation is the general trend of the world, although Kong Yun said that he is powerful in Jiangdong, but in front of the princes of the world, it is nothing, how can he dominate the thoughts of the princes?

"Third brother, fourth brother" Liu Bei, who had been closing his eyes all the time, and didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly opened his eyes, with an inexplicable arc on the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "The God King's southward movement this time can be described as menacing, not to mention brother, I'm afraid that none of the princes has the bottom in their hearts, don't look at those princes who swear frankly, but in private they are afraid to die!" ”

"Stuffy, dull, Fan Hong and Kong Yun looked at Liu Bei's Zhizhu in his hand, and they didn't know what to say for a while, this guess, although it looks very fake, but as long as the really sensible people can see that although these princes send troops to get troops and get food, none of them are going all out.

They are afraid, they are afraid! There are reservations, at least there is a way out, if you don't want to die in Liu Tai, then there is really no way out, of course, there are still those who are sincere and Liu Tai, that is Dong Zhuo and Liu Dai, Dong Zhuo is because he was bullied by Liu Tai too badly, and Liu Dai is for Liu Dai, no matter what, Liu Miao is Liu Dai's younger brother.

"The ability of the Lord to contemplate the heart is really the pinnacle of creation!" A little sycophant, but Kong Yun didn't laugh, it was difficult to laugh at anything, because in the face of the Tianci army that had experienced nearly 500,000 battles, Kong Yun had no confidence, even if he handed over the command to Kong Yun alone!

The biggest drawback of the alliance was extremely obvious as early as the time when the princes were fighting Dongde, some princes did not contribute to work, did not contribute to work, the command could not be unified, and the soldiers were uneven, such an army, even if there were millions, what was the use?

"Oh, the human heart, this is the most wonderful thing." Liu Bei was not modest, but smiled faintly, looked at Kong Yun with a little wise little eyes, and asked in a low tone: "Shui Yu, how have you handled the problem on the island?" We have a ship, can we get on board? ”

Island? What island? At this time, Liu Bei actually still had the heart to think about this? It's inexplicable!

"No way!!" Hearing Liu Bei's question, Kong Yun's face turned gloomy and he said: "The coastline of Yizhou Island is too weird, if you land on the island empty, there is no problem, but if you transport a large number of supplies, you haven't found a perfect plan for the time being, in case it runs aground, it will be extremely troublesome!" ”

"Oh yes!" Nodding, Liu Bei sighed helplessly, and then said with surprisingly bright eyes: "Could it be that I really have no way out in Jiangdong?" When the alliance is broken, it may be the time when the princes of the world bow down, don't be reconciled!! ”

Yes, it is Yizhou Island, that is, the treasure island referred to by modern people, the treasure island is located in the southeast coastal area of the mainland, with an area of nearly 40,000 square kilometers, it is the first coastal island of China, this island is recorded as early as the Xia and Shang periods, called Daoyi, under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, and the two Han Dynasty called it Yizhou, it can be said that on the bright side, Yizhou can be regarded as one of the great Han Dynasty.

Originally, because of the barrier of Shanyue, it was difficult for the people of Yangzhou to contact Yizhou Island, but after more than a year of conquest, Liu Bei finally opened the road to Yizhou, and when he saw Yizhou, Liu Bei naturally took it as a way out in the future.

The main reason why Liu Bei regards Yizhou as a way out is that there are many natural barriers in Yizhou, of which the million mountain crossing is only the first pass to Yizhou Island, and then there are a series of difficulties such as changeable weather, dangerous reefs, unfamiliar environment, etc.

If Yizhou Island becomes Liu Bei's territory, then even if the mainland is defeated in the future, you can consider retreating to Yizhou, so that you don't have to fight with Liu Tai, Liu Bei believes that even if Liu Tai has the ability to dominate the world, he will lose a lot of money at that time, at least ten or even decades will not be able to enter Yizhou Island, so that Liu Bei will buy enough time.

But the problem is that Liu Bei has a big difficulty in front of him!

It is difficult for others to board Yizhou, and it is also difficult for Yangzhou Sailors, especially to transport materials many times, which greatly consumes Yangzhou's manpower and material resources.

The consequences are obvious, the Yizhou strategy led to Liu Bei's reputation in Yangzhou plummeting, in order to rest assured to go north, Liu Bei even left Xiang Yun, the first general under his command, to sit in the membership of the town, and handed over the entire Yangzhou military power to Xiang Fei, allowing Xiang Yun to transfer personnel from various departments at any time, which shows Liu Bei's importance to Yizhou!

"Don't worry, the second brother is rumored to have gone to Yizhou in person, and wants to persuade the major tribes on Yizhou Island to allow my Jiangdong sailor to go ashore, with their help, there will definitely be no problems!" Seeing Liu Bei's dejected appearance, Kong Yun frowned, and said softly, in fact, Kong Yun was not sure that Xiang Fei could successfully persuade the tribes on the island, after all, the Jiangdong sailors went ashore to invade, and those natives were not fools

"The second brother is going in person?" Frowning, a slight anger flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash, and it didn't let Kong Yun find out that Kong Yun didn't tell Liu Bei about such a big thing first, how could Liu Bei be embarrassed? Could it be that Kong Yun really thinks he is in charge of Jiangdong?

Of course, with Liu Bei's surname and sleek way of dealing with the world, he can't say it directly, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only hide it in his heart, Liu Bei knows very well that there is no Xiang Fei in Jiangdong, no Fan Hong, it is not a big deal, but if there is no Kong Yun

"If there is a case" Liu Bei obviously expressed his worries, but he didn't say anything to stop it, Liu Bei knew very well that the importance of Yizhou Island was worth it even if he took Xiang Fei in exchange, but in order not to make his subordinates feel cold, Liu Bei couldn't show it like this.

"Don't worry, my lord, the second brother is blessed with a great life!" Fan Hong said aloud on the side, his tone was very dull, is Yizhou a place for people to go? If it is taken by the Jiangdong Naval Division, it will be a paradise, but the Jiangdong Naval Division does not even have the ability to build a port, then, it is hell!

"I hope so." Squinting his eyes, Liu Bei sighed deeply in his heart, it can be said that he has put his hope on Xiang Fei, if Xiang Fei can't succeed, then, maybe he has to find a new way out, but the question is, is the way back really so easy to find?

============= the northeast of Luoyang City, the south of the Eastern Han Dynasty is precious, and most of the northeast area is the living place of some poor people and displaced people, but Cao Ying, who is a hussar general, has stationed the army here, even if Cao Ying himself is accommodated in the mansion, it is also a small courtyard in tatters, if there is heavy rain, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hide from the rain.

With Cao Ying's current identity and prestige, how could he be assigned to this place? Well, in fact, this was Cao Ying's initiative to ask, maybe he wanted to win the hearts of the people, or maybe he missed the time when he was a school captain and governed Luoyang's public security.

In the dilapidated small courtyard, Cao Ying was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, calmly reviewing there, his face was flat, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth from time to time.

"Lord, isn't it a bit inappropriate to let the brothers set up camp in this northeast region?" A young gentleman sat beside Cao Ying, frowned and looked at the dilapidated rockery and pool not far away, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

The young man looks like he is no more than twenty-three or fourteen years old, his eyebrows are starry, he is extremely handsome, and his tone of voice is also a little arrogant, maybe people who have the ability are like this, in Cao Ying's camp, it is difficult to get on the throne without real skills, let alone serve on Cao Ying's side?

"Changwen, although the Northeast District is dilapidated, it is a good place." Putting together the bamboo slips, Cao Ying looked at the young man, and said with a smile, this young man's name is Chen Qun, which he met when Cao Ying visited Yingchuan, and he is very capable, especially in politics, he has his own set of opinions, how can Cao Ying, who is eager for talent, let it go?

Chen Qun! There is a passage in history that introduces Chen Qun, Chen Qun, and Cao Wei's famous ministers during the Three Kingdoms. His grandfather Chen Yu, father Chen Ji, and uncle Chen Chen are all famous people. Chen Qun is a clean and well-mannered person, elegant and good at making friends, and has the wisdom to know people!

Maybe it's fate, sometimes even if the overall situation changes, some small changes still go back to history, such as Chen Qun was recruited by Cao Ying, and it was not solicited by Liu Bei, so that Chen Qun's position in Cao Ying's heart went up.

"Good place?" Frowning, Chen Qun's expression was obviously very stunned, what kind of good place would it be in such a dilapidated northeast corner? Could it be that a large amount of gold and silver treasures can appear out of thin air? No kidding!

"Yes!" Looking at Chen Qun with both eyes, Cao Yingde's expression was very serious, at this time there were not only Chen Qun, but also Cao Ying's old courtier Cheng Yu, Cao Ying glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "You can know that if the alliance is broken, there is a shortcut in the northeast corner that can escape from Luoyang the fastest, and this is the way for me Cao Ying to retreat!" ”

"A shortcut?" The pupils shrank, Chen Qun and Cheng Yu were a little incredible, although the northeast corner was broken, but there were also tall walls around them, so it was so easy to escape? Moreover, Cao Ying, who has always dominated one side with military strategy, actually thought of escaping first?

"Yes" Cao Ying nodded, but did not explain carefully, with Cao Ying's surname, it is absolutely impossible to tell anyone about his hole cards, the reason why he wants to talk to Chen Qun and Cheng Yu is to stabilize the hearts of these two military divisions, Cao Ying knows very well that if the military division is stable, the whole army will be stable!

"By the way, Zhongde, how about letting you inquire about the news of Jiangdong?" After a pause, Cao Ying asked Cheng Yu again, although it is said that it is the period of the alliance of princes, there is no rule that the princes cannot intrigue, right? Besides, no prince has this right to speak!

"Back to the lord, it was not Xiang Fei who led the army north from Jiangdong this time, it is reported that Xiang Fei is still in charge of membership at this time, as if there is something to do." Cheng Yu frowned, and then bowed to Cao Ying and said, Jiangdong has always been the mortal enemy of the two Huai, because of Jiangdong's containment, Cao Ying did not dare to chase the Central Plains, and because of the barrier of the two Huai, Jiangdong can only be in a safe corner.

"Oh? Liu Bei, a thief boy who sells straw sandals, what does he want to do? A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and Cao Ying said in a somewhat cold tone, Cao Ying knew very well that Liu Bei was always thinking about encroaching on the Lianghuai region, and then going north to open a new chapter in the Han Dynasty, but the question was, does Liu Bei have that qualification?

"The membership is adjacent to Shanyue, Jiangdong and Shanyue have been fighting for many years, Shanyue has been defeated in Jiangdong again and again for various reasons, and at this time it has already retreated to the Jiaozhou area, so it stands to reason that Xiang Fei's ability, how can he only sit on the membership?" Cheng Yu also frowned, and said out loud with a little puzzlement.

"It's easy!" Suddenly, a gloomy and strange tone came from the dilapidated house, and after a while, I saw a man who was shrouded in a black robe and couldn't see his face clearly, the man was not big, and he could even be said to be thin, and only a pair of eyes were exposed! It is worth mentioning that these eyes are extremely transparent, as if they can see through people's hearts!

"Sonorous!!" "Who are you?" Chen Qun and Cheng Yu were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly pulled out the saber on their waists and pointed at the black-robed man and shouted, because the two shouted too loudly, and soon saw a column of guards rushing into the tattered courtyard, aiming directly at the black-robed man!

"Stand down, it's your own people!!" Cao Ying glanced left and right, smiled indifferently, and then waved his hand and said, his eyes looked at the black-robed man, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, seeing Cheng Yu and Chen Qun still standing in front of him with swords, he shook his head and said: "Put it away, if it is really an assassin, with the kung fu of the two of you three-legged cats, what is the use?" ”

Embarrassing, very embarrassing! Chen Qun and Cheng Yu looked at each other, Cao Ying's analogy is a bit hurtful, although both of them are scribes, but the late Han Dynasty scribes wearing swords is a fashion, and martial arts are naturally rare, but the problem is, you can't point it out so directly, right?

"Hum" withdrew the sword, Cheng Yu and Chen Qun stood behind Cao Ying, and Cheng Yu, who was an old courtier, asked Cao Ying softly: "Lord, who is this?" ”

"Who?" Touching his nose, Cao Ying said with a smile: "I can't say it, I can't say it, don't worry, this person is a henchman of Ying, and he is resourceful, and he has been mastering the Yitian Organization for several years, and he can be regarded as Shi Zhongde's old friend." ”

Etienne Organization! En, that is, the intelligence department, for the princes, the most important thing is the intelligence department, after all, wartime intelligence is the most important, and Yitian is Cao Ying's eyes, not only Cao Ying, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, etc. have their own intelligence systems, of course, this is opaque to each other.

It is worth mentioning that the black-robed man is the actual controller of the Yitian organization, and all along, the controller on the surface is Cheng Yu, even if Cheng Yu himself doesn't know, most of the information he receives is second-hand, and everything really is still in the hands of Cao Ying!

I have to say that Cao Ying has courage!

If some narrow-minded courtiers know that they have always been just a good-looking mask, how dissatisfied will they be? As a monarch, this kind of thing is the most taboo, but Cao Ying didn't care at all, but fortunately looked at Cheng Yu for a while, waiting for Cheng Yu's expression.

Surprised, yes, Cheng Yu's expression was only surprised, there was no other program, Cheng Yu was not a fool, or Cheng Yu had noticed it a long time ago, but he didn't want to say more, the reason why he was surprised was because this person who actually controlled the Yitian organization was not Cheng Yu's acquaintance.

Shrouded in a black robe, it doesn't mean that you can't see any clues from the outside, under the cover of the dock, you can dimly see the appearance of the black-robed person, very old, and there is a hazy atmosphere, which makes Cheng Yu and Chen Qun can't help but shudder, and ask themselves in their hearts: "Who is this?" ”

Looking at the expressions of Cheng Yu and Chen Qun, the inexplicable smile on the corner of Cao Ying's mouth has not disappeared, I don't know where to start, Cao Ying likes the feeling of being high, which makes people guess, makes people afraid, makes people prostrate, sometimes Cao Ying thinks, he is like this, he will face the God King on the battlefield in the future, what will be the end?

Treating Liu Tai, Cao Ying is really entangled, everything about Cao Ying can be said to be given by Liu Tai, it stands to reason that he should repay his kindness, but the problem is that if Liu Tai unifies the world, then Cao Ying's ambition will be infinitely suppressed, and Cao Ying can't stand it!

It's better to be a minister than a king, but a gentleman must also be established under the condition that the enemy is relatively equal, Cao Ying has no confidence to be an enemy with Liu Tai, even if he sometimes wants to fight hard with Liu Tai, but when he thinks of the old and young in the family, the concern in his heart is extremely heavy! On the one hand, Cao Ying is extremely suspicious, no one believes it, on the one hand, Cao Ying decides one thing, and can unconditionally decentralize power, which is an extremely contradictory combination, and treats the family, Cao Ying is extremely reasonable, such as wives and concubines, Cao Ying doesn't mind what their origin is, and the children born, Cao Ying also treats them equally, of course, the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, Cao Ying still has, treats daughters, obviously not as good as sons
