Lu Yu now lives in Changping.

That's right, it is Changping under the rule of the emperor in later generations.

However, at this time, Changping was still under the rule of Guangyang County......

After Xian Yufu left, Liu Chuang fell into deep thought. According to Zhuge Liang's previous strategy, he wanted to fight steadily and eat Youzhou step by step.

According to his idea, he ordered Tai Shici to occupy Yu Xi to prevent a sneak attack by Karasuma Xianbei and other alien races.

Ordered Zhao Yuntian Yu to garrison Yongnu to resist the attack of Zhang He's subordinates.

Then, at the end of October, he swallowed the land of Yuyang, Shanggu, Guangyang, Daijun and other four counties, and at the same time contacted Xun Chen to send troops from Wuyuan to seize Yunzhong.

As a result, there are ten counties in Youzhou and one subject country, a total of 78 counties, and only Zhuo County remains.

At that time, Liu Chuang will be able to conquer Zhuojun in one fell swoop with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, not only can occupy Youzhou, but also be able to connect with Xunchen and echo each other. On the whole, Zhuge Liang's approach is not wrong. It's just that in Liu Chuang's opinion, it seems to be too cautious. It's no wonder that Zhuge is only cautious in his life! Although Zhuge Liang at this time was not as cautious as he was later, judging from his use of troops, his cautious temperament had begun to emerge...... In this regard, Liu Chuangcheng has no opinion.

"Yuan Zhi, I want to make a dangerous move!"

"Huh?"

Liu Chuang spread out the map and said to Xu Shu: "The ten counties of Youzhou are a subject country, and now five counties have fallen into my hands, and Yuyang County will be conquered by me sooner or later." Kong Ming's arrangement was very thorough. But in my opinion, I am too cautious, and I am worried about long nights and dreams. ”

"Oh?"

"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are in Guandu, and they are currently anxious.

But in my opinion, I'm afraid that the decision or winner will be in the next month or two...... Cao Cao is weak, and if he continues to be anxious with Yuan Shao, it will not benefit him. So I guess that Cao Cao won't take long and will inevitably make a surprise attack. defeated Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. And Yuan Shao lost this battle, although he may have suffered heavy losses, but his vitality is still there. If he is allowed to return to Jizhou, he will inevitably send troops to conscript, which is not good for us.

Therefore, the battle of Youzhou needs to be resolved quickly, and it is necessary to capture the entire Youzhou before the end of the battle of Guandu.

I want to lead the light cavalry to attack and take Changping directly.

If Changping can be captured, Yuan Xi's entire deployment will be completely disrupted. It is possible for us to occupy Youzhou before the end of the battle of Guandu. ”

Xu Shu listened to Liu Chuang's words. I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

What's going on?

Regarding the war between Yuan Cao, in fact, Xu Shu's views are different from most people. It is rumored that Yuan Shao will definitely win, but in Xu Shu's opinion, although Yuan Shao has an advantage. But it may not be Cao Cao's opponent. Just like the Battle of Liucheng, the Xianbei people also occupy an absolute advantage. But the result? A fire on the whim of Liu Chuang reversed the occupation and won a complete victory.

He thinks Cao Cao might win!

But like Liu Chuang, it is extremely accurate. Even when he said the end of the Battle of Guandu, Xu Shu couldn't help but be shocked.

He really didn't understand, why Liu Chuang was so sure that Cao Cao would win? Don't talk about the ten wins and ten defeats! Though. The theory of ten wins and ten defeats is certainly reasonable, but whether it is Xun Yu or Guo Jia, it is more out of firm Cao Cao's confidence. In fact, what will be the outcome of the battle of Yuan Cao? Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, who can win the final victory. Xu Shu also thinks that it is just five or five.

"Could it be that the lord has the ability to predict the future?"

Although Xu Shu didn't quite believe Liu Chuang's words. But he also admits that Liu Chuang is not without purpose.

If, as Liu Chuang said, once the battle of Guandu is over, Liu Chuang still fails to capture Youzhou, he will inevitably encounter a fierce counterattack by Yuan Shao. When the war is ignited in Youzhou, who can guarantee that those powerful gentry in Youzhou will not be repeated?

Only by completely occupying Youzhou before the end of the Battle of Guandu can Liu Chuang get a buffer in the next battle......

Thinking of this, Xu Shu pondered for a moment and said, "What the lord said also makes sense, but it's just ...... In this way, it is necessary to notify Kong Ming as much as possible. If the lord wants to make a risky move, Kong Ming's plan must also be changed, otherwise there may be trouble between them. ”

Liu Chuang nodded and said, "Since this is the case, please ask Yuan Zhi to work hard and tell me my intentions." ”

"Whoa!"

Xu Shu took the order and left, and Liu Chuang began to prepare.

It's just that before Zhuge Liang could reply, Liu Chuang received an extremely special gift.

On this day, he was discussing things with Zhang Liao and Xu Chu in the Tuyin Mansion, when Li Yifeng suddenly walked in quickly and whispered two words in Liu Chuang's ear.

"Lord, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Liu Chuang's face was a little strange, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be a little curious.

Liu Chuang smiled bitterly, "This time, the public station has caused me a lot of trouble." ”

He didn't explain what was going on, and Zhang Liao and Xu Chu naturally didn't want to ask too much. The three of them hurriedly dispersed, and Liu Chuang left the palace and got on his horse, and went straight to the barracks outside the city. Xian Yufu has already left Youbeiping and went to Changli County to take office. And Chen Jiao has not yet arrived, and it stands to reason that Liu Chuang lives in the mansion, and there seems to be no big problem.

However, out of respect for Chen Jiao, Liu Chuang still decided to live in the barracks.

On weekdays, he handles some official business in the government office, and sometimes even puts official business in the barracks.

Don't underestimate such trivial things, for Chen Jiao, this fully shows Liu Chuang's respect for him. In fact, Liu Chuang has always been like this. Once the appointment is arranged, he will no longer intervene in it, but will fully trust and respect.

This is also the reason why Chen Qunbu is willing to work for him.

Because Liu Chuang will be on the biggest Cheng dù, let them show their talents......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Gongtai, what are you doing?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Chuang met Chen Gong.

After a while, Chen Gong looked much thinner.

After seeing Liu Chuang, Chen Gong smiled and stepped forward to salute, but Liu Chuang complained.

"Lord, if this is not the case, how can the Zhen family be brought into line?"

"Oh?"

Chen Gong said: "The palace only wanted to teach the Zhen family a lesson, but after careful investigation, it was found that winning over the Zhen family was far better than suppressing him. ”

Liu Chuang listened. frowned.

He didn't have a deep grudge against the Zhen family, and the reason why Chen Gong had been allowed to deal with the Zhen family before was more out of factors that weakened Yuan Xi's strength. Xue Zhou's death was planned by Yuan Xi, and Zhen was more in a position of assistance. And Guan Cheng, the murderer who killed Xue Zhou at the beginning, has been beheaded. Therefore, between Liu Chuang and Zhen, there is no unsolvable deep hatred. On the other hand, Liu Chuang's deal with the Zhen family was also at the invitation of the Su family of Zhongshan Kingdom. Su and Zhen are also Zhongshan Dahao. The business competition between the two sides is fierce.

The Su clan is now in favor of Liu Chuang, so as an ally, Liu Chuang cleaned up the Zhen clan. It makes sense.

Liu Chuang has always asked Chen Gong to be in charge of this matter, but who knows that Chen Gong has temporarily changed his mind.

"Gongtai, what do you say?"

Chen Gong saw that Liu Chuang was not angry, and his heart finally calmed down.

He smiled slightly, and said softly: "Today, the Su clan is helping the lord. It can indeed be of great help to the lord.

But the lord doesn't think that relying only on the Su family is too thin? The lord can see the clues by just looking at the few things that the Su family has done since the beginning of spring. The lord asked the Su clan to recruit the displaced people and collect the Han slaves from the northern frontier. But Su kept pushing back and didn't do his best.

Since the beginning of spring, the Su family has sent the displaced population to Liaodong. It's not even less than 20,000, but the lord has paid a huge price......"

Liu Chuang frowned and didn't say a word.

As Chen Gong said, although the Su clan formed an alliance with Liu Chuang, they were not very dedicated.

Especially after Liu Chuang opened the Guangludao Salt Works. As salt began to be produced in large quantities, Sue reaped huge benefits. But even so. Whenever Liu Chuang arranged a task, the Su family always pushed back, looking for various reasons, which made Liu Chuang a little unhappy.

Among them, the most unhappy thing for Liu Chuang is the problem of displaced people.

According to the original agreement, the Su clan wanted to add 100,000 displaced people to western Liaoning this year.

But up to now, the displaced people sent by the Su family one after another are only in their early 20,000s......

Winter is coming soon, and once the weather turns cold, if there are more displaced people, it will inevitably add a lot of trouble to Liu Chuang.

In fact, if Liu Chuang could have 100,000 displaced people in his hands, his pressure in western Liaoning would be much lessened, and it would not be as troublesome as it is now.

Chen Gong's words made Liu Chuang quite agreeable.

"But what does this have to do with the Zhen family?"

Chen Gong said: "Don't you think that it is precisely because no one has restrained the Su clan that the Su clan is so big?" ”

"What do you mean......"

"The lord should do his best to support a force that can fight against the Su clan, so as to ensure that the interests of the lord are not violated. Otherwise, the Su clan thought that the lord could only rely on him to get things done, so he would naturally become more and more arrogant, and might even pose a huge threat to the interests of the lord.

The lord used to say that you should walk on two legs.

Su Shi is only one of the legs, and now the lord needs another leg to walk more smoothly. ”

"Is Zhen the other leg?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Gong took a deep breath and said softly: "In the eyes of ordinary people, the Zhen family only has the current scenery because of its attachment to the Yuan family. But in fact, the Zhen family has been standing in Zhongshan for a hundred years, and many clansmen have entered the court as officials before, although it is not a beautiful scenery, it is also the home of the official eunuch.

The Su family made a fortune by selling horses and reselling salt and iron.

The Zhen family relied on silk and other items to make huge profits in northern Xinjiang......

Gong inquired carefully, and the Su family had the closest relationship with the Xianbei people, while the Zhen family had a lot of friendship with the Xiongnu. Therefore, Gong thought that Zhen's could not be blindly suppressed, but should be encircled. It's just that the Zhen family is now dependent on the Yuan family, and they are quite firm. The palace sent several times to contact him, but Zhen refused to bow his head. After thinking about it, I can only draw salary from the bottom of the kettle...... Didn't he Zhen rely on his daughter to get the scenery he has today? Then I'll take that daughter away and see who else the Zhen family can rely on? At that time, I don't have to worry about Zhen not bowing his head. ”

Liu Chuang's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Gong speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "So, you sent that Zhen Mi here?" ”

Chen Gong smiled and nodded slightly.

But Liu Chuang was a lawsuit, pointing at Chen Gong and saying angrily: "But if you send that Zhen Mi, how should I settle it?" ”

PS: Excuse me, guys.

I'm about to catch a train, so I'm a little less word count today.
