"It's better to let Brother Ziyang answer this question for the lord."

Guo Jia did not answer Liu Bei's question, but handed over the right to speak to Liu Ye.

His influence in the Liu Group is already very great, in addition to the credit, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xun Yu and other old ministers are his friends.

It's also time to avoid suspicion, not that Liu Bei has a small belly, but the consciousness that he should have as a strategist.

In short, people don't want to kill you, but you have to force them to kill you, so why bother?

There are five strategies for a strategist, the first of which is to seek oneself.

This is also the reason why Guo Jia never interferes in government affairs, just like Xun Yu rarely interacts with generals, because once you hold both political and military power, the threat will rise.

Liu Bei may not be afraid, but what about his son?

All in all, Guo Jia is now not in the limelight.

How could Liu Bei not understand this, he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, the change of status will really distance people, and he was like this with Kong Ming in his previous life.

However, he did not break it, this is an inevitable result, and it is not beautiful to say it.

Liu Ye didn't shirk either, and said: "In my opinion, if the princes of the world raise troops, they will be divided into three ways. ”

"Which three?" Liu Bei asked.

"One way is Xiliang Dong Zhuo, all the way is Bohai Yuan Shao, and the last road is Nanyang Yuan Shu and Yanzhou Cao Cao."

At this time, the news of Cao Cao's entry into Yanzhou had already come, and the messenger who presumably asked for the seal was already on the way.

Zhang Fei looked angry: "The lord is a relative of the Han family, the emperor and uncle of the Son of Heaven, it is within his duty to help the young majesty, those people are begging for a bird!" ”

The generals thought it was true, Liu's own business, what are you doing to join in the fun?

Liu Ye said with a smile: "The world is bustling for profit, if they don't discredit the lord, how can they achieve their ambitions?" ”

Those so-called Hanchens have recruited troops and horses all over the country, and now they are still crusading against the Liu family, no matter how you look at it, it feels unreasonable.

However, the world is like this, people have the strength and control of the family's right to speak, and the people under their jurisdiction do not know the truth, and will only think that Liu Bei is really a traitor.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "It's a good time, just let me poke them 10,000 transparent holes." ”

Liu Bei smiled and continued to ask, "How does Ziyang think I should deal with these three armies?" ”

Liu Ye pondered for a moment, and then talked eloquently.

"The terrain of Hangu Pass is precipitous, it can be said that it is a one-man pass, and it is impossible to open it, as long as General Guan adds 10,000 troops, he will definitely be able to hold Dong Zhuo."

"There are Wen Ruo and General Zhang Liao in Bingzhou, and it is enough to increase the number of troops by 20,000, and with Wen Ruo's ability, it will be no problem to hold Bingzhou."

"The lord can personally lead 50,000 elites to the Tiger Prison Pass to deal with Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. Looking down, as long as the enemy in the south is broken, the west and north will inevitably be defeated. ”

After Liu Bei entered the Beijing Division, he began to recruit troops again, and now the total strength has reached 120,000, which is fully capable of dealing with these three enemy forces.

After Dong Zhuo experienced a great defeat, the morale of the Xiliang army under his command was greatly reduced, coupled with the topography of Hangu Pass, Guan Yu with 20,000 soldiers and horses was enough to deal with it.

The reason why they were able to break through Hangu Pass so quickly was because of the cooperation of the internal response, otherwise it would be difficult to break through the pass.

As long as Guan Yu deals with internal problems, Dong Zhuo's desire to break through Hangu Pass will not happen overnight.

As for the merger of states, they had considered the problems that they might face at the beginning, so Liu Bei deliberately left Xun Yu to assist Zhang Liao, just to deal with this unexpected situation.

"But if we lead the army to battle, who should stay behind in the Beijing Division?" Zhao Yun asks key questions.

If the princes of the Quartet raise troops, there will never be peace within the Jingshi, and with the influence of the Yuan clan in the court, the matter of internal and external cooperation must not be overlooked.

The soldiers are fighting outside, but the base camp is lost, and the morale of the army will be in jeopardy.

Guo Jia spoke.

"I recommend General Huang Zhong below."

Huang Zhong is already middle-aged, acts steadily, and is very strict in governing the army on weekdays. Of course, there is also an important point, Huang Zhong has a poor reputation in the Bingzhou army, which can play a role in paralyzing opponents.

It was with the help of this war that the internal hidden dangers were eliminated in one fell swoop.

Liu Bei looked at Huang Zhong when he heard this: "What does Han Sheng think?" ”

Huang Zhong was a little hesitant, if it was a head-on battle, he was not afraid of anyone. It's just that he's not good at conspiracy and calculations like this.

The rear base camp is very important, he is not afraid that he will die in battle, but he is worried that it will affect the overall situation because of a temporary loss.

Seeing this, Liu Bei stood up.

"This matter will be put aside for the time being, and we will discuss it in the long term in the future."

This was the end of the meeting, and everyone left one after another, but Guo Jia and Huang Zhong were secretly summoned back by Liu Bei.

……

"This time, Feng Xiao stayed in Beijing with Hansheng." Liu Bei saw that the two of them were puzzled, so he directly explained the reason.

This is the result of his careful consideration, Huang Zhong is an upright person, and he can't fight those careerists in terms of scheming, and he must be assisted by someone who is proficient in this way.

Guo Jia has a bad stomach, and he has the weapon of Jinyiwei, which is the best candidate.

Huang Zhong groaned: "Shouldn't the military advisor follow the army? ”

Guo Jia's face was calm, and he had already vaguely guessed Liu Bei's thoughts.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "It is precisely because everyone thinks that the military advisor will definitely follow the army, and I want to do the opposite, as for the people who follow the army, it is enough to have two people around me." ”

Guo Jia pretended to be surprised: "In addition to Brother Ziyang, there is another person, it is ......"

"It's Naja Wenhe."

Liu Bei Zhengse said: "I thought that Jia Xu was secretly clumsy, and then I visited him privately and found that he really had extraordinary wisdom. ”

The Reborn has become more and more proficient in the use of his golden finger, and has been able to plan and act before acting, and find a good reason for every unreasonable thing in advance.

In this way, it seems logical for him to dig up Jia Xu.

Guo Jia's face "suddenly realized".

"No wonder I always think this person is quite weird, I see, but I don't understand, why is he hiding it?"

Huang Zhong also looked puzzled, in fact, among the three people present, only he really didn't know Jia Xu, and the other two were pretending.

Liu Bei's reaction to Guo Jia is not unusual, because ninety percent of the scholars in the world want to make contributions and become famous in history, but Jia Xu is an alternative.

According to what he had seen and heard about this man in his previous life, this man did not like to be prominent, and he had few requirements for choosing a master.

He was like a tourist, he followed Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Zhang Xiu, and finally stayed by Cao Cao's side.

In other words, he was not harsh on the Lord back then, but he would not follow anyone with all his heart. As long as you can shelter him, he will follow you.

When he can't do anything, he will leave decisively.

So Liu Bei came to a conclusion.

"This person is very sorry for his life, maybe it is because he saw Dong Zhuo's defeat that he will turn to me."
