Just when Wang Xuan was busy organizing the wedding, several surrounding forces were not calm.

In Nanyang County, Yuan Shu knelt on the high couch, and the civil and military generals stood on the left and right sides.

"Sun Wentai is a tiger in the east of the river, crisscrossing the surface of the river for many years, and the world knows its bravery. In order to subdue Sun Jian, I used my family connections to settle the matter of killing Jingzhou Assassin Shi Wang Rong for him, but I didn't expect that Sun Jian was also false, and he was vulnerable under Wang Zichuan, and even Lujiang County was lost! Yuan Shu shouted angrily, obviously extremely angry.

Let's not talk about the matter of killing Wang Rong of Jingzhou for Sun Jian, even if it is for him to operate the position of Lujiang Taishou, it is Yuan Shu begging his grandfather to worship his grandmother, which consumes a lot of favor.

This kind of thing is human affection, and if you use it once, it will be a little lighter, although their Yuan family's protégés and former officials are all over the world, and they can't withstand such consumption.

"I knew that I would have directly incorporated Lujiang County into my territory and personally controlled it, and it would not be cheaper for that Wang Zichuan!"

Yuan Shu now occupies a Nanyang County, although Nanyang County is the land of Longxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is also known as the Southern Capital, even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population is still two million, compared to the upper half of the state. But if you can have an extra county, that's a great thing.

"Lord, although Lujiang County is good, it does not border our Nanyang County, and there is Wang Zichuan peeping on the side, as if it is chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it." The strategist Lu Fan persuaded: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court has been unable to control the locality, and the princes in various places have gradually become bigger. Not long ago, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the chaos in the world has been revealed, and the lord needs to make a plot as soon as possible. ”

"The only way to do this is to make Yuzhou suffer from the scourge of the Yellow Turban, and the internal officials are either dead or fleeing, like a plate of loose sand, it is simply a fat meat placed next to us, which is the most suitable for annexation!"

"The lord can send troops to Yuzhou, in the name of quelling the Yellow Turbans, all the land of Yuzhou, and then lead troops eastward, seize Huainan, across the river."

"Jingzhou Liu Biao, not long after entering Xiangyang, subject to the clan family, Jingxiang seven counties, except for the south county, the other six counties do not obey his orders, the lord can lead troops south to attack Liu Biao and seize Jingzhou."

"The counties of Yangzhou, except for one Wang Zichuan, the people in charge of each county are all middle-of-the-road, and they do not belong to each other, and it is difficult to form a joint force. With the connections of the Yuan family, when the lord took possession of Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Huainan, he could naturally persuade them to come to take refuge. ”

In this way, half of the southern kingdom will be divided, and the princes of the northern land will be infighting. When the time comes, the lord can go north to the Central Plains and lay a hegemon! ”

Yuan Shu listened enthusiastically, the strategic layout proposed by Lu Fan is very reasonable, if it can really be realized, then the world will have the surname Yuan!

However, some people expressed different opinions, and Yuan Shu's subordinate Shi Yang Hong said: "A small official, shallow vision, where is there any high opinion? ”

"The land of Yuzhou is easy to capture, but Yuzhou has been plagued by yellow turbans, and it is no longer a place of ointment, but millions of displaced people, how do you plan to settle those displaced people? The seizure of Yuzhou is not only not a help, but a burden for the lord! ”

"As for the land of Jianghuai, it is certainly rich, but Tao Qian sits in Xuzhou in the north, and Wang Zichuan occupies Danyang and Lujiang counties in the south, which is undoubtedly the enemy!"

"You said that you went south to attack Liu Biao, Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, rashly attacking him, how to explain to the people of the world? Besides, Liu Biao has already controlled Nanjun, which is also a large county with a population of more than 1 million, if he sticks to the natural danger of the Han River, can we be sure of victory? ”

Yuan Shu listened to what Yang Hong said, the excited expression on his face instantly turned cold, and he looked at Lu Fan deadly, he was almost cheated by this kid!

Lu Fan opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he still didn't say it after all. He knew that he was soft-spoken and not valued by Yuan Shu, even if he was reasonable, Yuan Shu would not believe him, but trusted Yang Hong even more.

"Yuan Shu is brave and undecisive, not the master of chaos." Lu Fan sneered in his heart: "Of course, the land of Yuzhou is a million displaced people, but most of those displaced people are young and strong, if they can be properly settled, such as 200,000 troops!" With the generosity of the Yuan family, it is more than enough to feed millions of displaced people, and when the time comes, he will lead an army of 200,000 to attack Liu Biao in the south, how can Liu Biao resist? Even if Liu Biao wanted to resist, but those generals under him had just joined him, and how many of them were willing to die for him? ”

"As for the land of Huainan, although it is attacked by the enemy, it is blocked by two moats, the Yangtze River and the Huai River. What's more, Xuzhou Tao Qian is already old, more than enough, and not enterprising, so there is no need to worry about him attacking him. On the contrary, after Tao Qian's death, he could take the opportunity to plot against Xuzhou. ”

Lu Fan held these words in his heart.

Nanjun, Xiangyang City.

Liu Biao looked at a volume of letters lightly, and his fingers lightly tapped the table.

Although his face was expressionless, his cronies knew that Liu Biao was in a bad mood at this time.

"Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng has resigned from his position in Jingzhou and went to join Wang Zichuan with his family and hundreds of private soldiers?" Liu Biao asked puzzledly: "Huang Hansheng is quite brave, the official is the general of the Han Dynasty, and his status is too guarded than that of a county, how could he take the initiative to run over to join the prince?" ”

Jingzhou celebrity Kuai Liang explained: "Lord, according to the information I inquired, Huang Hansheng only has one son, named Huang Xu, who has been weak and sickly since childhood. There was a big change in Danyang County, and it seemed that Wang Zichuan had gained some kind of benefit from it, and not long ago sent an envoy to recruit Huang Zhong. ”

Since then, Huang Xu's condition has been improving day by day, and the reason why Huang Hansheng took the initiative to go to Wang Zichuan this time was mostly to treat his son.

Liu Biao sighed, and finally felt a little better. Although he attaches more importance to literati and does not attach much importance to Huang Zhong, not long after he became the assassin of Jingzhou, a general under his rule dug a corner, and if this matter spreads, others will think that he Liu Biao forced his subordinate generals away.

"Since Huang Hansheng is to treat his son's illness, if we stop him, it will be to cut off Huang Hansheng's incense. This kind of unrighteous act is spread out and makes people laugh. Liu Biao said lightly.

"The Lord is benevolent and righteous!" Kuai Liang slapped a sycophant without a trace, and after a moment's notice, he asked: "Lord, I heard that there is a crack in the heavens in Danyang County, connecting the heavenly realm, and there are strange beasts descending from the heavenly realm, and Wang Zichuan has gained great benefits from it, so that he can easily defeat Sun Jian." ”

"What do you think of the Celestial Realm?"

"Celestial!!" Liu Biao took a deep breath, obviously his mood was not calm.

"I can't be sure if the legendary Heavenly Realm is behind the rift of the sky, but the strange beasts that ran out of it are not so easy to deal with, Wanling City has been plagued by strange beasts several times, and Wang Zichuan has to move most of the people in the city."

"I want to send an envoy to Danyang County to spy on the truth and reality, who wants to go?"
