Soon after the New Year, Lü Bu captured the county governance of Jiyin County and drove Liu Dai to Changyi in Shanyang County, but after Lü Bu took all the results of the first stage, he stopped and was busy carrying out spring plowing and resumption of production, and there was no intention of pursuing the victory, in fact, this was also the suggestion of Pang Yuan and Chen Gong.

Once Lu Bu completely destroyed Liu Dai, he would immediately border Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, these people are not Liu Dai's weak goods, but a strong man who is rising, if one of his heels is unstable, it is likely to be attacked or even besieged by them, therefore, Pang Yuan suggested that we must go steadily step by step, and we must not be impatient.

In fact, after Liu Dai was forced to retreat to Changyi, Liu Dai only had Changyi in his hands, and the road to the history of Yanzhou had come to an end, and all that remained was when to leave the scene.

"Fuqing, now that the summer grain has been collected, is it possible to attack Changyi?" Lu Bu's eyes flashed with light, and the suppressed high-spirited battle intent on his body could be seen by anyone.

Pang Yuan raised his head from the pile of intelligence, and put the information in his hand in the unimportant intelligence classification on the left, this intelligence classification Pang Yuan still needs to do it personally, which also shows from one side that Lu Bu's intelligence system and civilian system are still quite weak.

"General, it makes no difference whether Changyi fights or not. Keeping Liu Dai in Changyi can also become a buffer between our army and Yuan Shao, and every time there is an additional city, we will have an additional burden of dividing troops to guard. ”

"Fuqing deceives me, if I don't go to Changyi, won't Yuan Yi and Yuan Shao go to take Changyi?"

"Hehe, Changyi was originally Yuan Yi's territory, if they took it, it would be a matter of course, if we took it, it would inevitably cause a conflict with Yuan Yi. Checkmate. Now our army is a strong enemy on all sides, and once it moves, it may be besieged. For the sake of a Changyi city, it is obviously not worth it. ”

Pang Yuan's meaning is very clear, that is, there is no need to take Changyi, and now Lu Bu's actual control is the complete Chenliu, Liangguo and Jiyin Counties, as well as a little west of Dongjun, which is not a big place. But in fact it is already very large, six or seven hundred miles from north to south. It is more than 500 miles wide from east to west, and such a large territory has to be defended on all sides, and for Lu Bu, attacking has become a luxury.

Lu Bulen paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at the map carefully, on the map shelf on his side, different belongings were marked by different colors, except for a red territory in the Central Plains, in the northern part of Bingzhou. There is also a large red territory, but the two territories are separated.

Hey1 Lu Bu sighed heavily, and some of the passionate emotions dissipated in an instant: "Fuqing, why do you say it's so difficult?" ”

"Because our opponents are very strong! The opponents who were easy to deal with in front have all disappeared, and the rest is naturally the strongest opponent, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Han Fu, which one is not a hero who has crossed thousands of miles and formed millions of soldiers? Can it be easy for the general to defeat these enemies? If only they wouldn't collude with each other. Perhaps it can be broken one by one, it is now that our army is in it, it is the most uncomfortable position of the enemy on all sides, this place. Only the general dared to lean sideways, hehe. ”

Lu Bu smiled faintly, there was a hint of reserve in his smile, more unwilling, it sounded good, but it was really uncomfortable to look around at a place where there were strong enemies. If Zhang Liao and the others were also in the Central Plains, maybe Lü Bu could continue to go east and drive Han Fu and Yuan Shao out of Henan first, but now Zhang Liao can't leave the state at all, and Lü Bu is isolated in the Central Plains.

"This matter is not worth boasting about, could it be that Fuqing is saying that it is a wrong move to take Chen Liu?"

Pang Yuan put down the paperwork in his hand, straightened his body, and thought about it seriously: "It may not be a wrong move, if the generals of Chen Liu, Jiyin and other places do not take it, they will eventually fall into the hands of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. ”

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then we will shift the focus of our attack to the other side of the Yellow River?" ”

Pang Yuan shook his head slowly: "It's not easy to talk about, not to mention that Gongsun Chan is a fierce rival, even if we can really drive Gongsun Chan to Hedong County in the west, Wenyuan can also take Shangdang County and open up the connection with us, if such a situation really appears, what does the general think?" ”

"How? Isn't this a very good situation, our army is united, and its strength will definitely increase greatly1

"Hehe, general, now the situation of the Han Dynasty is strong and strong, Dong Zhuo was powerful back then, so there were eighteen princes to fight against Dong, if the general is powerful, I don't know if there will be another war of the eight road princes against our army?"

"Well, you can't go east, you can't go north, you can't go forward, you can't go back, but you're really suffocated1

"The general doesn't need to worry, but should face up to this matter, now the strength of our army is not enough to sweep the four borders, therefore, we must bury our heads in development, improve military strength, accumulate money and food, develop the population, and find talents, there are many things to do, the only thing that cannot be done is to blindly start a war."

Looking at Lu Bu's dejected appearance, Pang Yuan couldn't help but smile: "If the general is fine, it is better to go to the barracks to train soldiers, or to promote and train more generals, and there are no strong generals stationed in our territory in the province, and in the future, the general will sweep Liuhe, and it will not work without warriors stationed in the Quartet." ”

"That's it! A certain family went to train the troops, Fuqing was right, if he was not ready, no matter how much territory he laid, he would not be able to defend it. However, you saw Song Hufeng's letter, right? This iron army is even more restless lord. ”

"Hehe, no problem, if they want to attack the white horse, they can just fight. If you want to cross the river to attack Jixian, this kind of local conflict will not affect the overall situation, for Gongsun Chan and Han Fu, the iron army is just a biting mosquito. ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, if Song Hufeng of the Iron Army knew that in Pang Yuan's eyes, he was not even a chess piece, and could only get the evaluation of a mosquito, I don't know how he would feel!

Nanpi, in Yuan Shao's mansion, Yuan Shao was discussing important matters with a group of strategists.

"Changyi has become an isolated city. There is no problem with whether to take it or not, Lu Bu not taking it is actually an attitude, an attitude that does not want to be my enemy. ”

Chen Lin's analysis should be very reasonable, so everyone present nodded in approval, and even Xu You, who had always been arrogant, did not object.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chen Lin happily continued: "Then, our army can completely take it down, on the one hand, it can slightly recover the decadence of last year's successive defeats." Second, the recapture of Changyi also has considerable political significance. ”

"Liu Gongshan is at the end of his rope. Why didn't the lord say that he would descend on him? ”

Guo Tu's suggestion was not unreasonable, he smiled, and Yuan Shao also objected:

"It's not that the official doesn't want to say that he will be subordinated to him, but whether he is willing to be subservient? Liu Gongshan holds his own noble status, and he is the assassin of Yanzhou, and I, Yuan Shao, am just a Bohai Taishou, do you say that he is willing to live under him? ”

"What he said at the beginning is very true, even if he is willing, his identity does not allow him to do this."

Xu You's words basically completely ruled out the suggestion of saying a downgrade. Guo Tu was not angry, smiling and smiling with a teachable look, the tragic situation of the Ji Ji was ahead, Guo Tu was still good at making a fortune in a muffled voice, as for this kind of thing as competing for favor with Xu You, Guo Tu was not interested, on the contrary. If Xu You stretched out his hand to Guo Tu to share the money, then Guo Tu would never agree.

"In that case, Ziyuan also thinks that Changyi should be defeated?"

"Changyi will be exhausted, and Liu Dai himself probably does not have the belief to die in a battle. It should not be difficult to take Changyi, and it will not have much impact on the situation of our army, so it is completely possible to take Changyi now. But be careful not to stimulate Lu Bu too much, Lu Bu is like a tiger, offending him and being bitten by us is uncomfortable, on the contrary, it is difficult for us to get benefits from Lu Bu, after all, it is beyond the reach of some whips. ”

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement with Xu You's point of view, the battle line is too long to endanger Yuan Shao is deeply touched now, therefore, Yuan Shao has no idea about Jiyin County at all, if he wants territory, isn't it easier to get Peiguo that is now divided by Zhang Bao and Cao Cao.

"Okay, then let Yan Liang and Yuan Yi capture Changyi."

"This matter is a trivial matter, compared to it, the matter in the northwest of Qingzhou is a troublesome matter now, the war in the three counties of Le'an, Jinan, and Qi is constantly prolonged, and our army neither dares to be deeply involved, nor can it be completely ignored, and it also needs to continue to provide support for the alien troops, which is like a wound that cannot be healed, and it is not a good thing in the long run."

Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You with some resentment, everyone knows about this, the problem is how to solve it?

"The official knows about this matter, but how to deal with it to end it?"

"This is naturally going to talk.1 Xu Yu said with a goatee twisted.

However, Fang Zhiwen didn't seem to be willing to talk to us.1 Xin Ping relieved Yuan Shao.

"Hehe, this time and that time, don't you know about the cross-border door now? Fang Zhiwen's Eastern Crusade is probably for this matter, in order to explore this cross-border door, Fang Zhiwen will definitely not invest too much energy in the Central Plains, what he needs is materials, population and a stable rear, what did he think at first? ”

Yuan Shao was suddenly a little remorseful, why didn't he connect these two things? However, Yuan Shao still had a happy smile on his face:

"Hehe, Ziyuan said very reasonably, let's do this matter by the public rules, see what conditions they offer, if it is reasonable, why not accept it1

Ten days later, Changyi fell, and Liu Dai was nowhere to be found. To be continued...
