Liu Jian divided the soldiers and horses into two parts, the main reason was that he also knew in his heart that his strength was too strong, and once he entered Sizhou, he would inevitably break the original deadlock in Sizhou.

It's an inevitability.

The pressure of powerful military forces will inevitably lead to the joint resistance of other forces, which is an inevitability from ancient times to the present, and even in future generations, and the torrent of the times has been verified, which is the nature of human beings.

Therefore, Liu Jian divided the elite soldiers and horses into two troops in advance, one led by Liu Bei and the other led by himself.

At the same time, after analyzing the current situation, he felt that it was the best policy to transfer some soldiers from Qingzhou and Youzhou to support.

In addition, in order to prevent Liu Bei from being inferior to the other party in terms of strategy, Liu Jian asked Tian Feng to accompany Liu Bei to help Liu Bei analyze various situations in case Liu Bei was tricked.

After arranging these, Liu Jian sent someone to Luoyang to send a letter to Lu Zhi, saying that the situation in Sizhou was currently urgent, and he could not go to Luoyang to meet his master, and asked Lu Zhi to forgive him.

Lu Zhi naturally didn't think that Liu Jian and Liu Bei had any big rebellion because of such a trivial matter, and he felt that Liu Jian and Liu Bei were very relieved that they could see the situation clearly at such a critical moment and know what they should prioritize.

So, Liu Jian and Liu Bei began to do what they had to do.

Although Tian Feng followed Liu Bei's actions, Liu Jian still had Jia Xu and others by his side to help, and there was no shortage of think tanks.

It is important to control everything before the war, because the accuracy of the intelligence can affect the course of a major war.

Therefore, Liu Jian was not in a hurry to fight the other party, but first spread a large number of scouts and secret agents, and used all means to investigate the situation in Sizhou.

Compared with other herdsmen, Liu Jian's biggest advantage now is not that he is brave and brave, nor is he fully armored, but that he has more resources, more money, more grain, and more cattle, sheep and horses.

Among the herdsmen, there are no people who can be as wealthy as Liu Jian.

And there are no people who are willing to put a lot of effort into scouting and reporting, as far as we can.

Most of the princes and shepherds are more willing to spend their resources on the obvious things such as recruiting soldiers and horses and building armaments, but although there is also investment in the construction of spy and scout troops, the proportion of overall expenditure is not high.

Therefore, in terms of intelligence reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, although Liu Jian cannot occupy an absolute advantage, in most cases, he can still grasp the opportunity.

This time, Zi Guoyuan, the head of Hebei's secret agent who was in charge of the secret agents under the commander-in-chief Liu Jian, brought back several important news for Liu Jian.

First, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao acted separately.

Yuan Shao took Chen Lin as an envoy and went to meet Lu Bu and Niu Fu, but he didn't know what was going on.

As for Cao Cao, he sent a person named Lu Fan to secretly go to Chenliu.

In addition, Guoyuan also brought back the news of the Central Plains to Liu Jian, that is, Yuan Shu, who is currently in Yanzhou, although he has been sick, but the counties and military camps under his jurisdiction seem to be adjusting their defenses.

Although the news that Guoyuan brought back to Liu Jian looked a little scattered, the content in it was quite interesting, as long as you thought about it carefully, you could find the drawbacks.

"Yuan Shao sent people to Lu Buna, Cao Cao sent people to Zhang Miaona, this is to obey the soft and say peace, Yuan Benchu really regarded me as a great enemy, this is to gather all the forces near Sizhou and drive me back to Hebei."

Sun Gan said: "The last official is willing to go to Lu Bu's army and say that Lu Bu will not Yuan and Cao, and unite with the lord." ”

Liu Jian looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wenhe, in your opinion, please ask Gongyou to see Lu Bu, is it possible?" ”

Jia Xu said very solemnly: "I'm afraid it may not be possible." ”

Sima Yanliang of the other department stood beside him, and said in disbelief: "I waited for this time to come to Sizhou, and I didn't come to Sizhou to occupy important places in Sizhou, so why did Lu Bu have to oppose us?" ”

Jia Xu picked up a black feather fan on the table in front of him, and showed an unfathomable smile while fanning it gently.

Liu Jian's eyes jumped slightly.

This old guy also has a black feather fan, when did he have this problem.

"Yan Sima Yong is brave, but he still doesn't speculate enough about the current politics and people's hearts, Yuan Shao sent someone to truce with Lu Bu, with Lu Bu's heart, if he can be the master, so that Gongyou can go to lobby, or it can be done."

"But Sima don't forget, although the people who fought on the front line were Lu Bu and Niu Fu, it was Dong Zhuo who could really decide who Lu Bu fought with."

Yan Liang said suspiciously: "What's wrong with Dong Zhuo?" Will Dong Zhuo definitely let Lu Bu fight with the lord? It stands to reason that Dong Zhuo and the lord jointly implemented the new policy, and his people were at odds with the Yuan family, and Dong Zhuo should let Lu Bu and Yuan Shao fight! ”

Jia Xu laughed a few times and didn't say much.

At this point, those who should understand will naturally understand, and Jia Xu doesn't need to say more.

Sun Qian sighed on the side: "In terms of the promulgation of the new policy and the power to control the local county, Dong Zhuo and the lord are indeed the same in this regard, but in terms of attacking cities and seizing land and expanding the territory, Dong Zhuo and the lord are competitors......"

"The lord's power in Hebei has become stronger and stronger over the years, especially after opening mines in Youzhou and absorbing the power of foreign people, Hebei's strength as a whole has stepped up to a level, and the longer the time, the greater the gap between other forces in the world and the lord,"

"Dong Zhuo and Li Ru are not like Wang Kuang and others, with their shrewdness, I am afraid they can see this at any time......"

"Smack!"

When the words fell, he saw Liu Jian, who had not spoken, suddenly reached out and slapped the table.

Although the sound of this knocking was not loud, it still quieted everyone in the tent, and everyone turned their heads to look at Liu Jian together.

Liu Jian slowly stood up from the spot, glanced back and forth at everyone, and said, "You don't have to really lobby Lu Bu, and you don't have to send someone to lobby Dong Zhuo." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was obviously taken aback, but Jia Xu was unmoved, but his eyes when he looked at Liu Jian inadvertently seemed to shine.

Liu Jian said loudly: "In the past, when I first arrived in Jizhou, although I had the respect of the emperor's uncle, but when it came to the background, it was still inferior to the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, and at that time, the secluded land of Ji was devastated by the Yellow Turban Black Mountain foreign tribes, and the situation was uncertain. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jian walked to his sword, drew his long sword, and came to the middle of the tent with the sword.

"Over the years, I have established a chamber of commerce, Daxing Tuntian, recruiting displaced people, crusading against Montenegro, practicing the law of Tian, implementing the new policy, printing and printing famous classics, Xinghai salt and textile industry, making Qingzhou brocade popular in the world, reclaiming two major iron mines, exporting graphite in northern Xinjiang, collecting Wuhuan people, making the Xianbei tribes abandon the war and use the pasture for my Han, and the alien people in northern Xinjiang for my Han graphite and other things, go out to build cities and canals for my Hebei, and become the subordinate people of our strong Han, so that I can live in peace in Lishu, Hebei, and the state is rich and strong... …”

Speaking of this, Liu Jian glanced back and forth at everyone, and said: "From now on, Hebei will continue to absorb wealth and people from the northern Xinjiang tribes and the northeastern countries for their own use, Hebei's financial resources, manpower, cattle, sheep and livestock, and even war horses will surge every year, and other states in the Han Dynasty will become weaker and weaker because of the war, only I, Hebei, will increase year by year!" ”

"So, at this time, I don't need to hide my head like I did back then,"

"At this stage, even if you are cautious, it is useless! It will still be seen! ”

"Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the like, sooner or later will know my true strength!"

"The strength is here, there is no need to hide!"

"All the heroes of the world will defend against me!"

"After this war, let everyone in the world know that Liu is already the most powerful shepherd in the Han world!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were overjoyed when they heard this, and the two of them stood up separately, hugged their fists towards Liu Jian and said, "The Lord is raising soldiers, and the two of us are willing to be pioneers!" ”

Before the words fell, he saw the people of Qinghe in Jizhou, Qu Junhou Jiang Qi and Han Meng standing up for work.

"Kill chickens with a knife, we are willing to break the enemy for the lord!"

Youzhou people Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan also went out of class.

"Prince, we are willing to go!"

There are also Julu people Ma Yan and Xindu Zhang Kai who stood up.

"We can also worry about the Lord!"

At present, all the generals in Hebei are so proud to fight, and Liu Jian is very relieved in his heart.

It seems that the sentence of his own talent - "After this war, I should be the first shepherd in the world" has aroused the fighting spirit of all officers.

Everyone is eager to try and want to make meritorious contributions.

"I have so many heroes in Hebei, why worry about Yuan Cao Lu Niu not breaking?"

"The officers and men of the three armies listen to my orders, let's fight Lu Bu and Niu Fu first! Chase Yuan Shao again, Cao Cao! ”

"It's all at the command of the Lord!"

Liu Jian looked at Sun Qian and said, "Gongyou, I still need you to go to Lu Bu and Niu Auxiliary Camp to convey my sincerity to them." ”

Sun Qianshicai was also stirred by Liu Jian's words, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he suddenly heard Liu Jian say this to him at this moment.

"Lord, didn't you say that you wouldn't lobby Lu Bu?"

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this: "I just said that I didn't really lobby him, but I never said that I didn't lobby him." ”

When Sun Qian heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

He puffed up his chest, bowed to Liu Jian, and said, "Don't worry, the lord will live up to the lord's trust." ”
