Liu Xiu raised his hand and pressed it down gently, and the noisy generals closed their mouths. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Liu Xiu's gaze swept around the big tent, and finally stopped for a moment on the faces of Xia Yu and the others, who had not spoken much.

Xia Yu was excited for a while, and unnaturally puffed up his chest.

Liu Xiu lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "The terrain in the eastern part of the country is flat, there is no geographical advantage available, we cut off Yuan Shao's back road this time, we can't fight positional warfare, and the face-to-face attack is very unfavorable to us, so I need a general who is good at riding horses, familiar with the tactics of the Wuhuan people and Xianbei people, and good at defending the city."

When the generals heard this, they were all a little indignant, and there was something unkind in their eyes. The meaning of Liu Xiu's words is actually very clear, he already has a candidate, and this candidate is either Xia Yu or Tian Yan.

Xia Yu and Tian Yan glanced at each other, and invariably straightened their waists, waiting for Liu Xiu to order.

Liu Xiu looked back and forth on their faces twice, and chuckled: "Captain Xia, Ningcheng has been fighting for fourteen years, can you still fight?"

Xia Yu got up and replied loudly: "General, although Xia Yu is nearly fifty years old, he can get on a horse, draw a bow, and be able to fight."

"Good." Liu Xiu nodded, "You have been fighting with Duan Gong for many years, and you are so old in the army, I know very well. This battle is none other than you. He turned his head and looked at Tian Yan again, Tian Yan's face was suddenly flushed with excitement, he knew that this was Liu Xiu's subordinates who gave them these two old subordinates. Captain Tian. ”

"The Last Will Be"

"You and Captain Xia have been brothers for many years, and they know each other well and cooperate tacitly. I'd like to ask you to cooperate with him, how about it?"

Tian Yan hurriedly clenched his fists with both hands: "I wish sincerely."

Liu Xiu nodded lightly, and then looked at Huang Yi: "Yuntian." You are a native of Liangzhou, a brother of the seventh camp of the Han Dynasty in Liangzhou, and you are familiar with it. You have to be in the middle of the scheduling, don't make contradictions, if there is any problem, I only ask, do you hear?"

Huang Yi was surprised: "No...... General ......"

"You don't want to?" Liu Xiu frowned, "Then forget it, I'll change someone else." ”

"Don't-" Huang Yi was anxious, he didn't want to. He was happy. Liu Xiu made Xia Yu the chief general and Tian Yan the deputy general, but the meaning of Liu Xiu's words is very clear, Xia Yu and Tian Yan have nothing to do except for the Changshui Battalion and the infantry battalion of the Northern Army they led, which are less than 2,000 people? The main force is still the Liangzhou Han Seventh Battalion. Liu Xiu handed over the Han Seventh Battalion to him to command, he is the true soul of this army, as long as Xia Yu and Tian Yan are not kicked in the brain. It was impossible to treat him like an ordinary vice-chancellor.

The generals laughed softly, looking at Huang Yi with envy, Xia Tian and the others were also happy in their hearts, of course they knew the strength and status of the Liangzhou Han Seventh Battalion under Liu Xiu's account, and they understood Huang Yi's ability even more. He can be said to be the most capable general in the Liangzhou army. Liu Xiu asked him to be their assistant, which was no different from giving them credit.

Liu Xiu turned his face and looked at Zang Yu, who had been in the corner without speaking: "Zang Zhonglang."

Zang Yan stood up and saluted: "The last will be."

"Zhonglang has been fighting in Yingchuan for a long time, and he is a native of Guangling, so he is most familiar with the situation here. I would like to ask you to lead 10,000 cavalry and camp in the east of Shashui, the task is to prevent Yuan Shao from crossing Shashui and entering Runan. ”

"Whoa." Zang Yu calmly answered and sat back.

Liu Xiu turned his head, and his gaze fell on the faces of Kuai Yue and Wen Ping: "Captain Kuai, Captain Wen."

The two got up and agreed in unison.

"The two of you have been working with Zang Zhonglang for a long time, so there must be no problems, right?"

Kuai Yue and Wen Ping hurriedly said, "I am willing to obey Zang Zhonglang's command."

"Good." Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "Other generals, follow me in the camp and hold Weishui."

The crowd responded. Liu Xiu ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead the Yizhou Sailors to meet along the way, and arrange them one by one, and then ordered each to prepare. The generals left one after another, and the big tent was idle, but Liu Xiu did not leave, standing in front of the sand table, and raised his chin at Liu He: "Girl, do you have any questions?"

Liu He bit his fingers embarrassedly, and his long eyelashes flickered: "Daddy, I don't quite understand, our army is seriously insufficient, only 20% of Yuan Shao's, and the division of troops, isn't it a bit risky?"

Liu Xiu laughed. Liu Hexiao's face turned red, stuck out his tongue, and said in a low voice, "Daddy, am I wrong again?"

"Hmm." Liu Xiu nodded, circled around the sand table twice, and finally walked behind Liu He, pressed his hands on her shoulders, and said softly: "Girl, you first calculate an account, with the population base of Jizhou, how many troops can be recruited at most?"

Liu He blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "Based on the current population of Jizhou, it should be less than 300,000."

"Okay, think about one more question, how many troops are there between the really determined Beizhong Lang and the Yellow Turban Marshal Zhang Yan?"

"Well, 10,000 iron cavalry and 30,000 elite Yellow Turban Army."

"Then how many people does Yuan Shao have to keep at least, can he be sure that there will be no chaos in the north of Jizhou?"

"Comparing the combat strength of the two sides, at least the same number of men and horses must be left."

"Well, that's good, think about it again, how many people should Yuan Shao leave in the Qinghe Anping area, which is across the river from Qingzhou?"

Liu Xiu guided Liu He to make a detailed calculation step by step, and finally Liu He calculated that Yuan Shao could only gather 100,000 troops to cross the river to fight, which was impossible to 200,000, and this was already the largest potential in Jizhou, and it was impossible to last long, in other words, Yuan Shao had to seek the initiative to fight a decisive battle, but the other side could take the defensive position in Shashui and Weishui and drag Yuan Shao here.

"Original...... Daddy asked the Jingzhou sailors to change their clothes and give up those building ships, just for today?" Liu He's eyes lit up, and he shouted in surprise: "Daddy, as long as we keep these two waters, we can make Yuan Shao call the heavens and the earth not spiritual?"

"We alone are not enough." Liu Xiu touched Liu He's head: "Don't forget, Yuan Shao has an army of 80,000 to 100,000, and there are more than 20,000 cavalry alone, and only 10,000 Xiliang Han troops can't stop them, and we still need reinforcements." Only when General Wei's army arrives can we be sure that Yuan Shao will be blocked here. ”

"General Wei, will he come?"

"Yes, I think, by now he should be in good spirits and scrappy."

"Hee-hee, I see. Daddy, you've fooled us so badly. ”

"Who are you? Including Your Majesty?"

"Hee-hee, he's the most convinced." Liu He pursed his lips, "He is still reluctant to let his imperial technique, and he wants General Wei to compete with you, so that he can profit from it." ”

"It's not to blame him, sitting in that position, as long as he still has a little brain, at least nine and a half out of ten people will think so."

"And what about half of it?"

Liu Xiu sneered: "Those half don't think about this, but they are not children who don't know anything, they are born stupid."

Liu He was a little dazed, she didn't quite understand what Liu Xiu meant, was it right or wrong to do this? If it's right, then isn't it true that Your Majesty should be jealous of Daddy, and if not, then why does Daddy say that those who don't even know this are either children or stupid?

It's really complicated for adults. Liu He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Xiao Tianzi, he was still a child, but it was not easy to compete for power and profit with many adults like Daddy.

…… Qian County. Cao Cao sat in the hall, looking at Zhang Miao and the two large boxes of jewels in front of him, so happy that the wrinkles on his face were gone. Zhang Miao despised him in his heart, but the smile on his face was even bigger.

"Meng De, it was originally a good intention, you two joined forces, why worry about Liu Xiu and his wild seed not being destroyed?"

Cao Cao smiled, walked to Zhang Miao's side, and said in a low voice: "I don't understand something, I want to ask Meng Zhuo for advice."

Zhang Miao laughed loudly: "Although Meng De said, as long as I know, I will say everything."

Cao Cao snorted and nodded: "I heard that the eldest son of the emperor is in Yecheng?"

Zhang Miao's eyes tightened, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Then if the world was established at the beginning, would the eldest son of the emperor be the emperor, or would it be ...... Self-reliance?"

Zhang Miao's face changed, his smile became reluctant, and he looked at Cao Cao's hateful face and thought for a long time, before he forced a smile and said, "Meng De, this question was asked too early, right?"

"Why is it early?" Cao Cao said in surprise: "You also said just now, if I join forces with Ben Chu, Liu Xiu's death is imminent, and the world can be pacified immediately, how can I say that it is early."

Zhang Miao was embarrassed. "That'...... What does Mengde mean?"

"I'm not interesting." Cao Cao patted Zhang Miao's shoulder vigorously, and laughed: "Joke, joke, Meng Zhuo, you are really a loyal elder, you can't joke, it's boring."

Zhang Miao looked at him carefully for a long time, and saw that he didn't seem to be a fake, so he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped a cold sweat. He also thought that Cao Cao would oppose Yuan Shao's proclamation as emperor, and if that was the case, they would really not be able to cooperate. "Since Meng Ran has the heart to beg the thief, I don't know when to start an army? I'll go back and tell Benchu to reassure him. ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it right away." Cao Cao waved his hand and said loudly: "Ben Chu gave me so many gifts, I can't help but show it, you wait a minute, let me prepare."

Zhang Miao was very happy, since there was a return gift, then Cao Cao should be sincere. He waited for a moment, and then the composer walked in and handed a brocade box with both hands. Cao Cao took it, patted it seriously, and stuffed it into Zhang Miao's arms. "Annoying Meng Zhuo to bring it back to Benchu, I think he will like it."

Zhang Miao checked the box, full of joy, judging from Cao Cao's attitude and the large weight of the box, the contents must be worth a lot, so he happily hugged the box and left.

Watching Zhang Miao's back disappear outside the door, the smile on Cao Cao's face gradually solidified, he slowly exhaled a long breath and waved his hand: "Pass my general order, immediately pull out the camp, go north to Jiyin, and cut off Yuan Shao's back road." Public ......"

Chen Gong bowed down and received the order: "Please give the general's orders."

"Tell the hussar general, and ...... I'm coming. ”
