The Black Mountain thieves in Taihang Mountain gathered more than one million, which is not the number of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans blown out.

What do you like most about today's princes? It's not money, it's not land, it's not beautiful women, it's a powerful territory, it's a strong soldier, etc., what they love the most is still population.

Without the population, everything else is. And as long as there is enough population, what else is still a problem?

Cao Cao wants the Black Mountain thieves, he likes the Black Mountain soldiers, he also likes the old and weak women and children in the Taihang Mountains, adults don't make choices, he wants them all!

As for whether these people listen or not? That's a matter of governance. Who is Cao Cao? Will he worry that he won't be able to play?

Yang Xiu was originally a pretext to talk about Qingzhou at the beginning, and what he was waiting for was Zhang Yan's own analysis of the pros and cons of Qingzhou, and then taking out the relatively stable Xuzhou and Yuzhou to talk about things, in comparison, it was much better than directly taking out Qingzhou and Yuzhou.

However, Yang Xiu calculated carefully, but there was still a-stirring stick inserted by his side. Liu Bei saw that the situation was wrong, and directly disrupted Yang Xiu's rhythm.

Well, compared to Cao Cao, Liu Bei is more harmonious. Liu Bei had a clear goal, and he felt that he was a little unaffordable for the Montenegrin soldiers, and his goal was aimed at the old and weak, women and children.

Moreover, if the old and weak women and children are taken away, will the Montenegrin soldiers be far away?

Liu Bei opened his mouth, didn't mention anything, didn't ask for anything, just dedicated to the people, wholeheartedly merciful to the people in Taihang Mountain, with various upright, benevolent, and proper.

"All the monarchs are righteous and brave people, Yuan Shao has no way, and the monarchs want to raise an army to attack him, and they are deeply admired, and they hate to go with you." Liu Bei praised, and the Black Mountain people who were disturbed by Yang Xiu couldn't help but straighten their chests.

Well, Liu Bei also has an advantage over Cao Cao in some aspects, for example, now, he is barely barefoot, and he scolds Yuan Shao vigorously, and there is nothing wrong with supporting Yuan Shao.

He didn't have any friendship with Yuan Shao, but he didn't pinch him with real knives and guns, scolded him, and scolded him.

Obviously, when Yuan Shao is involved, for the time being, Cao Cao has to be more restrained, regardless of whether he wants to scold Yuan Shao or not, scolding and scolding, causing criticism, and it is easy to lose morality.

In fact, most of the Montenegrin thieves from the Yellow Turban don't care, but who made the Jizhou rebels belong to the core combat power among the Montenegrin thieves. Over time, the Black Mountain thieves also had a strange sense of mission - Yuan Shao.

Yang Xiu's remarks about things related to Yuan Shao made Liu Bei gain a lot of points in Montenegro.

"I have limited capacity, so I don't dare to talk about it. But the world is unpredictable, and if something unsatisfactory happens, the old and weak in the mountains can move to Zhongmu and Changshe, and be prepared to protect each other with death." Liu Bei Zhengse said.

"Xuande is righteous!" Liu Bei was full of emotion, and the generals of Montenegro thanked him.

"Cough, Yuan Shao is immoral, but he also has many supports. In the end, we need some proper reasons to attack Jizhou." Liu Bei fanned his affection, and Jian Yong coughed dryly on the side.

"Sir, do you have a plan?" Zhang Yan asked Jian Yong.

If it is said that Zhang Yan pinched Yuan Shao more earlier because it was difficult to ride a tiger. At this time, Zhang Yan already regarded Yuan Shao as his talent.

Liu Bei's side lost his morality one by one, and he hated one by one, and Pang De did not refute it at all, which shows that Liu Cang, Liu Bei, and even Cao Cao are ready to attack Yuan Shao.

The original unilateral death match turned into a multi-party siege, and Zhang Yan's negative attitude also turned to a positive direction.

"Yuan Shao favored his young son, causing his eldest to turn against him. Yuan Tan lost his support, and he was afraid that he would eventually be killed by Yuan Shang, so he was worried all day long."

"After all, Yuan Tan is the eldest of the Yuan family, so you might as well not mention Yuan Shao's affairs for the time being, and only help the eldest prince, so that even if you occupy some cities in Jizhou, it will be a matter of contention between Yuan's father and son."

"When there is a city, the combat power of the nomadic cavalry will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it will be better to attack and defend when the time comes?" Jian Yong said in detail, and Zhang Yan's face was happy.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

？ Is it appropriate for you to engage Yuan Shao with such a clear sword?"

"Hmm.

。 Yuan Tan's matter is just Yuan Shao's family matter, you and I are so calculating, it's hard to attract criticism, right?" Yang Xiu poured cold water.

Cao Cao didn't want to engage Yuan Shao, but he couldn't do it, at least he had to find a more suitable excuse, seeing that Liu Bei had taken the lead, Yang Xiu had to question it.

"Jizhou has been in war for a long time, and now Yuan Shao has led the Wuhuan cavalry to bring disaster to Jizhou. In the long run, it will be a catastrophe. Equipped with the ability to turn things around, but criticize? All things can be pushed to Bei's body, although tens of millions of people have gone to me." Liu Bei is righteous.

"Mamabi, it's shameless." Yang Xiu scolded in his heart.

Is this guy really going to climb the pole and push everything on him? Why are you carrying it? Is this directly putting yourself in the position of the elder of the party?

"Xuande Gong is arrogant." Montenegro praised everyone, although Zhang Yan was thoughtful, but more people looked at Liu Bei with admiration.

"Made, a bunch of silly roe deer. Ming Gong, I'm afraid we're going to miss the opportunity this time." Yang Xiu was frustrated, but there was no better way.

Liu Bei is not particular, and he doesn't need to be particular about Yuan Shao, after all, he has not pinched Yuan Shao less, and the gang under his command has long been enmity with Jizhou.

The Black Mountain thieves are also not particular, after all, if they are too particular, they will not survive today.

On Cao Cao's side, he had to pay attention to it, Yang Xiu couldn't find a suitable reason to refute, so he could only watch Liu Bei and the Montenegrin people talk more and more speculatively.

After some discussion, the two sides decided to temporarily relocate 300,000 people to Zhongmu, and the Montenegrin army decided to contact Yuan Tan, and first captured Yecheng, and formed a horn trend with Yanzhou and Liu Bei.

But in this way, there are still some problems on Yuan Tan's side that need to be solved, and they have reasons to beat Yuan Shao, but Yuan Tan can't run to stab his own father's waist without benefits, right?

"Yuan Tan has been in charge of Luoyang for many years, and he also has the talent to govern the land, His Royal Highness intends to recommend him to be the pastor of Qingzhou, and Yuan Tan also knows about this, so you don't need to bother." Hinted by Xu Shu, Pound said out loud.

Qingzhou again? Everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu remained silent, and after confirming that Liu Cang really wanted to attack Yuan Shao, Yang Xiu was thinking more about how to make Cao Cao more profitable in Jizhou.

During the discussions, Yang Xiu said that Yanzhou would block the Jishui River and restrict Yuan Shao's attack on Qingzhou. To put it bluntly, it blocked the route of Jizhou to the southeast.

However, that defense line is too long, Le'an, Jibei and even involve Baima and Wuchao all the way, the defense is not as good as the offense, and Cao Cao's troops are also insufficient to block such a long defense line.

In the end, Zhang Yan not only allocated 20,000 soldiers and horses to Yang Xiu, but also moved 100,000 people to Xuzhou.

Liu Cang has no intention of competing for the population in the Taihang Mountains, the north has experienced years of war, countless abandoned farmland, and other areas are indeed more lacking in population than near Luoyang.

Everything was properly discussed, and Xu Shu hinted that Zhongshan, Zhuojun, and Liaodong might also clash with Yuan Shao again, which made the Montenegrin people feel at ease.

When everyone dispersed, Xu Shu privately called Liu Bei.

"Congratulations to General Liu for winning the hearts of the army." Xu Shu smiled at Liu Bei.

"Haha, Yuan Zhi doesn't want to laugh at Liu." Liu Bei's face could not hide his joy, this time he earned the fame in the Montenegrin army, as soon as the war started, there would definitely be gains.

"Xu has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

"Oh? Yuan Zhi said it bluntly."

"The Northern Central Plains is an eventful place, and the general's foundation is a little worse. And the land of Nayizhou is more suitable for accumulation and development." When Xu Shu said, Liu Bei was stunned.

"The general still needs to pay more attention to the hearts of the army and the people, and with the talents of the general, there will be a time to govern the government in the future." Xu Shu said again, Liu Bei's expression was solemn.

"What do you mean? Or Your Highness.

。」 Liu Bei guessed and asked lightly.

Xu Shu smiled and didn't talk about it, but said goodbye to Liu Bei, leaving Liu Bei to think for a long time.
