In the world is in a hustle and bustle, the first three years (192) finally passed, the battle of Guanzhong set off by the general Lu Bu, the end of the battle was much faster than countless people expected, when the news and the death of the veteran Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun together, spread all over the world, some people said, Lu Bu This is lucky, Han Sui just happened to do it to Ma Teng at this time, Ma Chao happened to be trapped in Chang'an City by Lu Bu, and was persuaded by Lu Bu to steal the city gate.

Whether it is jealousy, envy, or hatred, no one can change the fact that Lu Bu won Guanzhong, and a direct consequence of this fact is that the sense of urgency in the hearts of all the princes has been raised by a level.

Because everyone knows that when Lu Bu captures Guanzhong, he will inevitably take Chang'an as the capital, welcome the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager, and then take Guanzhong as the center, together with Hedong, Bingzhou, and Hanoi, to form a suppressive advantage over other princes.

After the sense of urgency in the hearts of the princes of all walks of life is raised, it is necessary to expand the territory and enhance the strength before Lu Bu finishes consolidating and digesting Guanzhong, otherwise, what will he do to contend with Lu Bu in the future.

At the same time, how to drag Lu Bu's hind legs has also become a serious problem for many people, and Zuihou's eyes are placed on three places without exception: Xiliang, Shuzhong and Hanzhong, as well as Meiji, where the Southern Xiongnu are located.

As soon as the New Year passed, various special envoys and lobbyists went out one after another to their respective destinations.

When everyone was paying attention to the results of the battle of Guanzhong, the matter of Liu Bei, the Taishou of the Plains, who had caused countless heated discussions, attacked Dongjun County to govern Puyang, but quickly faded out of everyone's sight, even in the Guandong Prefectures.

But when this matter reached Chang'an and Lu Bu learned about it, he expressed great concern about it.

The Chinese New Year has passed. Guanzhong is still very cold, in the huge Chinese army tent, hang a huge map of the Han Dynasty, with different colors to mark the areas controlled by the princes, in the eastern part of the country, Tao Qian is located in Xuzhou, nearly half of the area is not under his control, Guangling County and Xiapi County have been occupied by Yuan Shu, Langxi County is occupied by Liu Dai Taishan Taishou Yingshao occupied nearly half.

In the area of Dongjun and Pingyuan County, Liu Bei, the Taishou of the Plains, led a large army to attack Dongjun County to govern Puyang. Pingyuan County was in a state of no heavy garrison, and Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, led the army back to Puyang in a panic, leaving only the general Xiahoudun to occupy the plain, while Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai personally led the army to attack Jinan, invincible all the way. Qingzhou Mu Kongrong is losing and retreating.

These trends are on the huge map of the Han Dynasty. It's all clearly marked. Even the route of Liu Bei's army to attack Puyang was marked in as much detail as possible according to the military information that came back.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, it was Lu Bu's staff and generals who stayed in Chang'an, except for Xu Shu, Yang Xiu, Fa Zheng, Meng Da, and shooting aid who had newly entered the mansion. The leading generals, only Dian Wei and Song Xian, and the rest of Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, Han Xian, and Yang Feng all led the army in four directions. Pingding Guanzhong counties.

Among the people, only Dian Wei looked a little bored, look at this, look at that, zuihou simply sat down, and closed his eyes in the tent to recuperate.

Although Lu Bu is not enough to intervene in the evolution of the situation in the Kanto region at present, he can also take precautions and make some necessary preparations.

From the map, anyone can see that the defeat of Tao Qian in Xuzhou and Kong Rong in Qingzhou is a matter of time, and the only variable is that Liu Bei, who is too guarded by the plains, has avoided the scouts and eyes and ears of Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, which is definitely a miracle.

Lu Bu was also quite surprised by Liu Bei's actions, in his memory, Liu Bei has always been in a state of being a good military general and seriously lacking strategists for a long time, but this time the attack on Puyang, no matter how you look at it, how can you feel that it is not so simple.

"My lord, if he is planning a counselor for Liu Bei, he will definitely do this strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao."

Everyone watched for a long time, and in the end, it was Fa Zheng who spoke first and said to Lu Bu.

"Oh?" Lu Bu asked, "You mean, this is Liu Bei's strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao?" ”

"Yes!" Fa Zheng nodded and replied, "My lord, please see, there is no danger to defend the plain, if Liu Bei sticks to the plain, he is attacked by Liu Dai and Cao Cao's two armies, it is difficult to resist, only to flee Jizhou and defeat Beihai, no matter which way, for Liu Bei, there is no way out, but with the help of Yuan Shao in Jizhou, rushing to Puyang is tantamount to jumping out of the cage and going deep into the hinterland of Yanzhou, in this way, with the army that will be defeated in the plain, forcing Cao Cao to lead the army to rush back, even if it cannot solve the difficulty of Qingzhou, it can also reduce the pressure of Qingzhou Kong Rong. ”

Yang Xiu and the others nodded in agreement, and Lu Bu turned to Xu Shu and asked, "What do you think, sir?" ”

Xu Shu bowed his hand and said: "What Fa Zheng said is very reasonable, but Shu thinks that Liu Bei's move seems to have another deep meaning. ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xu Shu took a few steps forward, took the long bamboo pole handed over by Fa Zheng, pointed it on the plain county, and analyzed: "Liu Bei sticks to the plain, as Fa Zheng said, he will definitely be defeated, however, Liu Bei rushed to Puyang, on the surface, he was encircling Wei to save Zhao, but secretly, he wanted to jump out of the whirlpool of Kanto and seek self-reliance from Kong Rong. ”

"Hmm!" Lu Bu agreed, "Liu Bei rushed to attack Puyang, but besieged but did not attack, obviously because he was afraid that the loss of troops would be too huge, and as soon as Cao Cao's army arrived, Liu Bei's movements were worth playing." ”

"What does the lord and Mr. mean that Liu Bei will not fight with Cao Cao's army?"

Seeing that Lu Bu and Xu Shu shook their heads almost at the same time, Fa Zheng frowned, turned his head to look at Yutu, and said to himself: "Is Liu Bei just using Puyang as bait?" Where he might go......"

Just when Fa Zheng was groaning, Xu Shu pointed the bamboo pole at Puyang, and did not move to other places, but Fa Zheng's gaze moved around Puyang, and Zuihou was fixed on Chenliu County, Yingchuan County and Henan Yinsan County.

Xu Shu moved the bamboo pole down at the right time, and the place he pointed at was the place where Fa Zheng and the others were looking, nodded two points on it, and nodded: "Liu Bei's map, most of them are Chenliu, Yingchuan and Henan Yin Sanjun, this place is the key point of Yanzhou's back, with him here, Liu Dai is bound to attack Qingzhou like a man's back, unless he can be quickly resolved." Otherwise, it will change over time. ”

Since Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai and Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu jointly attacked Xuzhou Taoqian and Qingzhou Kong Rong, Liu Bei, as a subordinate of Qingzhou Kong Rong, led the army to capture Chen Liu and Yingchuan counties, which is tenable in terms of emotion and reason, and Henan Yin, now equivalent to a borderless land, occupies all or part of it, and there is no pressure.

Xu Shu's analysis is here. Fa Zheng and the others in the tent gasped incomparably, because of Liu Bei's move, it seemed to be unexpected. But he is far-sighted, and can rush to Puyang from the plains. Then seek Chenliu, Yingchuan and Henan Yin. Needless to say, he can still do so successfully, and such luck is quite good.

Comparing Pingyuan County with Chenliuyingchuan and other places, everyone can see that in the current situation in the Kanto region. For Liu Bei, the latter is definitely countless times superior to the former. At the same time, Liu Bei explained to Qingzhou Mu Kongrong. without losing its affection.

"In this way, Liu Bei, this is a master who gives advice to him!"

Lu Bu sighed with emotion, and said to Xu Shu and Fa Zheng and others, and then he seemed to remember something, and asked Xu Shu: "I heard that many talents in Yingchuan Academy have defected to the account of Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, even Xun Wenruo is no exception, and under Liu Bei's account, someone has such a clever plan, Mr. may be able to see a clue, who will do it?" ”

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head dejectedly and said: "I can't see that if Xun Wenruo defects to Cao Cao, it is tantamount to erecting a banner for the students of the academy. ”

"Song Xian!" Lu Bu suddenly shouted and instructed Song Xian: "Quickly send people to Yingchuan, Chenliu and Dongjun, no matter what method is used and how much it costs, you must find out clearly, who are the people who give advice to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, their personality traits, growth experience, and how they behave, etc., must be carefully investigated!" ”

After Song Xian left the tent in response, Lu Bu turned to everyone and said solemnly: "Liu Bei and the people behind Cao Cao's account will be the biggest rivals of the monarchs here in the future, we should make some preparations in advance now, and we will be useful one day in the future." ”

In a simple sentence, it is said that Fa Zheng and others are full of blood, they are young people with strong blood, talented, ambitious, and now they have to be reused by Lu Bu, following what Lu Bu said, thinking that when they compete with people like Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the future, it is these people who will fight against them behind the scenes, how can this not make them excited.

After Fa Zheng and the others calmed down, Lu Bu asked with a smile: "Well, among you, which one of you is good at sorting and sorting out, and can screen and sort out useful military information from the messy and chaotic news?" ”

Yang Xiu, Fa Zheng and the others all looked at Zhang Ji with a smile, and before Zhang Ji opened his mouth, Yang Xiu recommended: "My lord, Brother De Rong's family is doing business, and he has been a small official in the county since he was a child. ”

Zhang Ji took a step forward, his face was ashamed, and said: "Lord, since such a battalion can chase after each other, how can it be worthy of the high expectations of the lord!" ”

"Nope! You're wrong! Lu Bu said solemnly, "You came from a merchant family, and you should know that you can read a lot of unusual military information from the bazaar, such as whether the enemy army is hoarding grain and grass, preparing to send troops, and so on. Over the years, I have sprinkled a lot of people in various places to listen to the military and political affairs in various places, as well as the price matters related to the people's livelihood, and even the rumors in the market, but unfortunately I have not been able to find a suitable person to be responsible for the collection, sorting and screening of such miscellaneous news. Well, when Song Xian comes back, you go to him. ”

This is a veritable entrustment of an important task, Zhang Ji promised to come down, even Yang Xiu, Fa Zheng and others, they all looked at Zhang Ji with envy.

After a while, Yang Xiu turned to Lu Bu and asked, "The lord once said that the people who are valued, in addition to Yuan Benchu in Jizhou, are Cao Cao of Dongjun, Liu Bei of Pingyuan, and Sun Jian, is this the reason?" (To be continued......)
