Liu Jian sent spies to Sizhou to find out what happened to Lu Bu and Yuan Shao after Yuan Shaojun entered the Sizhou border.

Liu Jian himself stationed his 30,000 elite men and horses on the border of Hanoi, waiting for news.

This time, Jia Xu accompanied Liu Jian as a guest, and Tian Feng came with him as a supervisor.

Soon after, the spies conveyed the news from Luoyang, and Liu Jian immediately discussed with Jia Xu and Tian Feng.

"Although the students of Luoyang Tai were suppressed by Lu Bu by force, at the moment, the momentum of their troubles is still the same, even more powerful than the original troubles,"

"And the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have arrived in Yingchuan, and I heard that Lu Bu's generals are heading south, and they want to compete with the two of them, according to the two of them, what should we do now?"

In fact, Liu Jian had already planned his next actions in mind, but he still asked Tian Feng and Jia Xu for their opinions for reference.

As a hegemon, it is very important to have the ability to make decisions, but at the same time, you must also have the ability to learn from others, as a monarch, if you are too arbitrary, it will be very detrimental to the future development of the force.

Therefore, Liu Jian is always vigilant to himself, he must listen to and ask more questions about everything, and whether he adopts it or not is an afterthought, but he must give his subordinates a chance to speak.

It is also a means that he uses to push himself to improve.

After Liu Jian probably finished telling the situation in Sizhou, he immediately handed over the information brought back by the spies to Tian Feng, and asked him and Jia Xu to take turns to read it.

Tian Feng stroked his beard, read it carefully, and then passed the letter to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was still the same, and was silent after reading the letter.

He lowered his head and frowned, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

If you look at his expression, you will feel that he seems to be confused at the moment.

But Liu Jian knew in his heart that Jia Xu knew everything in the world better than anyone else, and he just didn't want to show his sharpness in front of these strategists under Liu Jian, causing the jealousy of others.

Under normal circumstances, Jia Xu waits for others to say something first, and if someone else says it right, he usually won't say it anymore.

If what others say is wrong, then he will find an opportunity to secretly correct what others say is wrong with Liu Jian.

That's his way of doing things.

Therefore, Liu Jian first looked at Tian Feng and asked: "The affairs of Sizhou are inextricably linked, and the people and interests involved are extremely complicated...... According to Yuan Hao's point of view, how should the Tai students and Yuan Shao be dealt with? ”

Liu Jian's sincere inquiry made Tian Feng very satisfied, and at the same time, his respect for Liu Jian was also rising.

In Tian Feng's view, Liu Jian, as the overlord of one party, is now getting bigger and bigger in power and career, especially after the occupation of Youzhou, Liu Jian and Xun Yu's practices have opened the eyes of the ministers of Jizhou.

The land of the border county of Youzhou, in a sense, is a land of chronic bloodletting, whoever occupies it, facing the alien races in the border county, has to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources, sometimes one is not good, but it will make their own power not rise but fall.

However, Liu Jian and Xun Yu were able to turn decay into magic, not only were they not bloodlet by the aliens in the border counties, but they were able to absorb the blood of the aliens for their own use, so that Hebei's strength continued to grow, and the people's livelihood was greatly improved.

But after making such achievements, Liu Jian was still able to maintain such a modest attitude, which made Tian Feng really feel that he was not following the wrong person.

In this life, it is really the luck of his life to be able to serve Liu Jian.

Tian Feng was full of emotion in his heart, but his face was unusually calm, and he always maintained a positive face.

He cleared his throat and spoke slowly: "According to a certain person, the matter in Sizhou seems to be complicated, but in fact, there is only one root cause of the turmoil, and that is the Taixue trouble...... Therefore, the matter of too many students must be dealt with first! ”

Liu Jian nodded.

Tian Feng can be said to coincide with himself in this matter.

Tian Feng continued: "Behind the Tai Student, there must be someone who supports and instigates it, so he made such a big fuss,"

"As long as the matter of the students is solved, the root of the Sizhou Rebellion will be solved."

"The rebellion of the students has been solved, then all that remains is the scourge of the soldiers, with the ability of the lord's soldiers, the elite of my Hebei soldiers, the whole armor and weapons, if you want to deal with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others, it is tantamount to a swift wind and sweep the autumn leaves!"

Liu Jian laughed: "What Yuan Hao said is exact, it's just that the matter of the students has reached this level, what method should be used to solve it?" ”

Tian Feng said very solemnly: "In fact, according to Tian's opinion, if you want to stop the students from making trouble, as long as you do it properly, it is not difficult. ”

Jia Xu glanced at Tian Feng without leaving a trace, and his eyes showed a bit of approval.

"Would you like to ask Yuan Hao to say something?"

Tian Feng said slowly: "Actually, according to Tian's opinion, Lu Bu set his sights on those people who were the leaders of the Tai Students at the beginning, which was wrong, these people were all supported by the Hope Clan behind them, and they had received the benefits of the big clan, so they must have acted because they were in their vital interests, so they wanted to make them bow their heads...... Difficult! ”

"The key to this is still on those ordinary students!"

"No matter who is behind the rebellion, no matter who stirs up the storm behind it, no matter how powerful it is, it will not be able to give benefits to all the students...... In other words, it is the person who gets the benefits, and most of the students are bewitched, that's all. ”

Liu Jian said secretly, Tian Feng is really a resourceful man, and he hit the nail on the head.

"Sir's meaning is exactly what Liu thinks, at this time, if you want to stop the students from continuing to make trouble, you can only start from three places!"

"First, spread rumors."

"The second is differentiation."

"The third is to buy."

Tian Feng nodded and said, "The lord's words are very true, 20,000 students, such a huge crowd, how can they all be in unison?" Among the students, they are also divided into many groups, and they are all from different regions of Tiannan and Haibei, including Hebei people, Central Plains people, Sanhe people, Ruying people......"

"Over the years, the lord has maintained obscurity and not shown his reputation, but in fact, among all the herdsmen in the world, he has the largest population, the most iron tools, the most prosperous industry, and the most extensive interests in the counties."

"Therefore, it may be difficult for others to divide the students, but for the lord, it is easy."

Liu Jian stood up and said: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to Mr. Yuan Hao to handle, what do you need me to support you, just ask, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!" ”

Tian Feng immediately stood up and solemnly saluted Liu Jian: "Thanks to the lord's trust, Tian Feng will live up to his mission!" ”

Liu Jian looked at Jia Xu, but saw that Jia Xu was also nodding beside him.

So Liu Jian knew in his heart that what he was going to do this time was basically no problem.

What Tian Feng and what he thinks in his heart is what Jia Xu thinks in his heart.

……

……

Soon after, Lü Bu's soldiers and horses began to march towards the junction of Sizhou and Yingchuan, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were not afraid of him, they Chen soldiers bordered and engaged Lü Bu in a head-to-head battle.

In Lu Bu's opinion, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under his command is a rare elite strong cavalry in the world, and no matter how many people and horses the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have, they are not his opponents.

Moreover, Lu Bu was quite dismissive of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

In Lu Bu's view, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were both people who mixed up with the imperial court, and when it came to the ability to use soldiers, they were far from being comparable to themselves.

But there are some things that really can't be said to be based on thinking, and Lu Bu really doesn't know much about Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is also a figure who participated in the Battle of the Yellow Turban, and Yuan Shao's family legend is quite deep, these two people have not touched the military affairs when they were in Luoyang in the past, but they have been secretly studying military affairs, and they have been the commander of the party all these years, not military novices.

Especially under the command of the two people, there are also a lot of military talents.

Compared with Liu Biao in history, Yuan Shao's speed of integrating the forces in Jingchu is quite fast, of course, this is also very related to him as a member of the Yuan family.

Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone, although he had the name of a famous man, but in the integration of local forces, Liu Biao's identity and family could not help him much.

At this point, Yuan Shao completely crushed Liu Biao.

Today's Yuan Shao dominates Jingzhou and is extremely powerful.

This time he went north, with Sun Jian as the governor of the capital, and integrated the soldiers and horses of the major families under his rule, and his strength was not strong.

Cai, Yin, Deng, Kuai, Huang, Pang, Xu and other wealthy families in Jingzhou all sent people and talents to support Yuan Shao's march north.

Although Yuan Shao lacked horses, Nanyang County was the largest county in the world, and it was a leader in iron smelting and manufacturing weapons.

Therefore, Yuan Shaoyang avoided his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and did not take the road of plain warfare.

His soldiers were mainly armed with bows and crossbows.

In this battle, Yuan Shao relied on the city, and set up several large camps by the mountains and rivers, and at the same time fought with Lu Bu with many crossbow soldiers.

No matter how Lu Bu called for battle, Yuan Shao was ready to fight, consolidating the basic plate with bows and crossbows and heavy troops, and wasting Lu Bu's morale and patience.

Lu Bu's temper and temperament were relatively violent, and he was overwhelmed by the tactics of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and finally decided to storm his camp.

The problem is that Yuan Shao occupies the two most densely populated counties in the world, and in addition to the fact that many people have moved south in recent years, it has also given Yuan Shao a lot of population capital.

Therefore, in terms of soldiers, Yuan Shao is not lacking.

There is no shortage of population, coupled with a sharp arrow array, so that Lu Bu did not take advantage of Yuan Shao.

In particular, Yuan Shao's current governor is Sun Jian.

Sun Jian himself was born in the south, and he was not good at commanding cavalry, but he was extremely experienced in infantry and archery formations.

In this way, even though Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry was elite, under the partnership of Yuan Shao and Sun Jian, Lu Bu was basically at a disadvantage in the early battle.
