Liu Jian's handsome tent.

At this moment, in Liu Jian's handsome tent, Liu Jian and Jia Xu were sitting opposite each other making tea.

A smell of tea permeates the handsome tent, which makes people smell refreshed.

Liu Jian tasted the taste of tea soup with a long wooden spoon, and then took a spoonful and poured it into Jia Xu's cup.

"Wenhe, taste the taste."

Jia Xu thanked Liu Jian, picked up the teacup, and tasted it carefully.

"The tea soup made by the lord is different from the people of the world, and the sweet and bitter tastes coexist, which is really memorable."

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this: "It's rare that there is someone who understands, if you are willing to drink, drink more." ”

"No."

Jia Xu is also polite to Liu Jian now, because he feels that he has figured out Liu Jian's temperament.

Although his own lord is very powerful, he is not an ordinary layman, but he is not harsh towards his friends and subordinates, and he is very kind and tolerant.

He seems to be able to take into account everyone's emotions, and of course, that includes him.

The two of them just sat opposite each other and drank tea.

Suddenly, I heard Jia Xu ask.

"My lord, what is the purpose of that letter you wrote to Cao Cao earlier? I don't understand. ”

Liu Jian smiled: "There are still things in the world that you Jia Wenhe can't understand?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head: "Yes, there is, this matter in front of me is one thing." ”

"The letter written by the lord to Cao Cao, in Jia Xu's opinion, is actually just a threat to scare him, but at this time, what is the point of the lord scaring Cao Cao?"

Liu Jian pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Wenhe, do you think I'm scaring him?" ”

Jia Xu looked at Liu Jian suspiciously: "Isn't the lord scaring Cao Cao, or is he telling Cao Cao that the right thing will not work?" ”

Liu Jian took a sip of tea soup slowly.

"Wenhe, in fact, I won't lie to you, I'm really just telling him the right thing!"

"Within ten years, I will wipe out the heroes and hunt Jiangdong with him, this is actually a war letter I gave him, and it is also what I really think in my heart."

Rao was calm with Jia Xu, and after hearing this, the tea bowl in his hand couldn't help but shake.

Barely dropped the bowl on the ground.

Jia Xu felt that he already had a certain understanding of the confidence of the lord in front of him, but it was only now that he realized that he did not fully understand the person in front of him.

Within ten years, the world will be pacified, and only Jiangdong will remain?

If Liu Jian can really calm the world within ten years.

I'm afraid that Jiangdong is also in his palm.

"The lord has such a grand ambition, and the last official is deeply admired."

"It's just that what the last official doesn't understand is that even if the lord has this idea in his heart, why did he go out of his way to inform Cao Cao?"

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this.

"There's no special reason, I just want to tell him, because he's Cao Cao."

But obviously, such a superficial reason is naturally unacceptable to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu stroked his beard, thought seriously for a while, and then said slowly:

"I understand what the lord thinks, what the lord said to Cao Cao is actually a time limit for Cao Cao, if this is said by someone else, it may be regarded as a joke."

"But these words are what the lord said, so Cao Cao can't help but think deeply, maybe from now on, Cao Cao also set a deadline for himself in his heart, this ten years of time, is used by him to consolidate his own strength, develop the land of Jiangdong and Huainan, and consolidate himself, and inadvertently, he has no power to look north, but is inadvertently restricted by the lord."

Listening to Jia Xu's words, Liu Jian was a little stunned.

To be honest, he really didn't think about it that way.

Who would have thought that Jia Xu's ability to expand divergent thinking is also quite strong!

I can think about this.

"Wenhe, if what you said was put on someone else, I might think it made some sense."

"But Cao Cao is a very person, and I don't think he will be limited by one of my letters."

Jia Xu smiled: "The lord is too unconfident in himself, and the lord may not know how much influence he has in the world......

"Take your good word."

Liu Jian smiled and raised his head to drink tea: "However, to be honest, Cao Cao's trip to Jiangdong may also be a good thing for the Han Dynasty."

When Jia Xu heard this, he was very curious.

How could there be so many strange thoughts in the lord's head?

"Why did the lord say this?"

"The industry, culture, and economic powerhouses of my Han Dynasty are generally in the north and the Central Plains, and the Nanyang and Runan, Jianghuai, and Nanjun lands in the south are well developed, but Jiangdong and Xishu are a lot worse, and they have to be capable to govern and develop well!"

"It's just that over the years, I need to deal with everything in the north, and the south can't take care of it for the time being, if there is someone who can develop in the south first, and lay a better foundation for Jiangnan before I unify it in the future, it will be very fortunate for the Han! It's a good thing for me. ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "If you want to be like the lord, govern one side and make a region prosperous, you have to have great wisdom and perseverance, why does the lord think that Cao Cao has such ability?"

Liu Jian smiled: "Because I am also familiar with him, and I know his ability."

Jia Xu said: "But how can the lord be sure that Cao Cao will definitely govern and develop Jiangnan according to the lord's ideas?"

Liu Jian said very solemnly: "Because Cao Cao is also a person who does not admit defeat, he doesn't want to lose to me."

"I think Cao Cao will secretly pay attention to me again, just like I pay attention to him."

"Hebei is now rich like this, Cao Cao must have been touched in his heart, he is a person who dares to take risks and compete for the first."

"What I can do, he Cao Cao will definitely think he can do."

"Don't say anything else, it's just simple learning, simple imitation, what I do, Cao Cao will do it, it's not difficult for him, right? And Cao Cao doesn't have as many shackles as Yuan Shao, so I'm afraid that he can't depict a tiger and be an anti-dog. ”

"However, if it is a dog, it is not a good thing......"

Saying this, Liu Jian raised the tea cup in his hand, raised his head, and drank all the tea inside.

……

At the same time, Xi Zhicai, as a messenger, rushed to Yuan Shao's camp and stated the matter to Yuan Shao.

In fact, since Lu Bu and Niu Fu were defeated by Liu Jian, Yuan Shao has been alert and is ready to use troops against Liu Jian.

But at this time, something happened in Yuan Shao's camp that gave Yuan Shao a headache......

That is, Yuan Shao's subordinates had different opinions on whether to use troops against Liu Jian.

Most of the people under Yuan Shao came to help Yuan Shao's family-style interest groups in the name of the Yuan family.

Although there are outstanding people from all over the country, the two largest camps under Yuan Shao's command are the Jingchu and Ruying factions.

The land of Jingchu is Yuan Shao's basic plate, so the Wang clan of Jingchu is the most powerful under Yuan Shao.

Among the Jingchu system, it is subdivided into the Nanyang system and the Hanjiang system, plus the Jingnan system, which has the least power.

Its representative figures are Xu You, Yin Xiu, Huang Zu, Cai Mao, Ma Lun, Pang Ji and others.

As for the people in the Ruying lineage, there are Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and others.

The two sides separately advised Yuan Shao on whether to send troops to continue the battle with Liu Jian in Sizhou, and they fought-for-tat and refused to give in to each other.
