When Liu Xun heard this, he laughed and said, "What Wen Chang said is not unreasonable, but things are not absolute. What if Shouchun and Runan were secretly taken down by me unknowingly? ”

Wei Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then looked at his lord speechlessly, and said in his heart that the lord can't be crazy, right? How could such a large territory be obtained secretly?

Speechless and speechless, Wei Yan still replied: "Lord, if we can take these two counties secretly, it will naturally be excellent for us." When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao just decide the winner, we can go straight to Cao Cao's rear in the direction of Runan, and when the time comes, we will definitely be able to fight by surprise, and it is certain that the lord will dominate the world. ”

Liu Xun looked at Wei Yan with some amusement and said softly: "Wen Chang, how much do you think you can believe what Ben Taishou said?" ”

Wei Yan replied with some euphemism: "I think it's possible for the lord to say that Cao Cao can win, but it's not very likely. But the lord said that he could secretly obtain the two counties of Shouchun and Runan, and the last general, the last general felt that there was basically no possibility. ”

Wei Yan thought disapprerovingly: "This is what my own lord said, if someone else says that these two things can be done, Wei Yan will definitely slap him in the face." What did his grandmother think? If this can become my Wei Yan and your surname. ”

Liu Xun couldn't help laughing heartily when he heard this: "Hahaha, what Wen Chang said is true. But there are some things you just don't know. ”

Seeing Wei Yan's face full of doubts, Liu Xun's face immediately turned straight and said solemnly: "Wen Chang, can I trust your loyalty to me?" ”

Wei Yan was taken aback when he saw his lord's serious look, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Lord, I, Wei Yan, am a person who knows how to repay my kindness, you have the grace of knowing me, and you love me in every way, Wei Yan's loyalty to you please don't have to doubt your lordship." Wei Yan is willing to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire for the lord, until death. ”

"Okay, good" Liu Xun couldn't help but clapped his hands with satisfaction and said: "In this case, Ben Taishou will tell you about it, this matter is very important and must not be mentioned to outsiders, the lord believes in you, I hope you will live up to me." ”

Wei Yan was very puzzled and said: "Although the lord can rest assured, the last general will help the lord keep it secret even if he dies." ”

Liu Xun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Wen Chang, let's tell you the truth, in fact, one of that Shouchun Liu Ye and Liu Jie is my military advisor, and the other is my favorite general." ”

When Wei Yan heard this, it was like a lightning strike, and he looked at his lord in disbelief for a long time.

At this moment, Wei Yan felt that Liu Xun was so unfathomable in front of him, and the feeling for Liu Xun in his heart was not just because of the grace of knowing the encounter, but now he couldn't help but have a sincere admiration for the strategic layout and great ideas of the lord.

After a long time, Wei Yan said in a trembling voice: "Lord, you have already started the layout half a year ago?" If this is really Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, we are fighting in the sandpiper and clam and the fisherman profits, and this move will be tightened, and the major events in the world can be decided. ”

Seeing Wei Yan like this, Liu Xun didn't say anything on his face, and his heart was already secretly refreshed to the point of internal injury, "Look at whether your lord and I are bullish?" Are you convinced? ”

"Chief Wen doesn't have to doubt, this is true. There is another thing I hope you can believe in the lord, Ben Taishou thinks that Cao Cao will win, and Yuan Shao will be defeated and it will be a big defeat. Your strategic deployment is all based on the premise that Cao Cao will eventually defeat Yuan Shao, so you don't need to think about anything else. ”

Liu Xun raised his head and looked into the distance, pretending to be unfathomable, at this time he couldn't help but unconsciously believe everything he said.

Wei Yan still didn't give up his opinion, and said suspiciously: "How can the lord see Cao Cao's victory?" ”

Liu Xun said solemnly: "Wen Chang doesn't have to be suspicious, I have already installed a lot of internal responses in Yuan Shao's camp, and when the time comes, they will secretly help Cao Cao at the right time, and these people are in important positions, they are loyal and righteous people that I have cultivated for many years, as for who they are, it is inconvenient for me to disclose them." Now you just have to do what the lord says, you don't have to ask about the rest, this matter will definitely come true, and Yuan Shao will definitely lose this battle. ”

Wei Yan was shocked beyond comprehension at the moment, "The lord actually installed an internal response by Yuan Shao's side early in the morning?" And each in a high position? This, this, this 。。。。。。? ”

Wei Yan felt that all this was too incredible. He looked at Liu Xun fixedly, although there were doubts in his heart, but the lord said so, and he didn't want to ask anything at the moment. Anyway, everything is up to the lord, and the lord can do whatever he wants, just do what he should do.

Seeing that Wei Yan had not spoken for a long time, Liu Xun said earnestly: "Wen Chang, among the generals, although you came relatively late, I am the most optimistic about you. Now that I have told you so much, I have an important task to be entrusted to you, and I hope you can complete it beautifully and dutifully. ”

Although Wei Yan was still in shock, but now that he heard that the lord spoke so highly of him, he couldn't help but be moved at the moment, and immediately bowed down without hesitation: "Please also ask the lord to command, Wei Yan will definitely complete the task of the lord on behalf of the lord, although he has no regrets in death." ”

Liu Xun looked at Wei Yanzheng and said: "Wen Chang, Shouchun is the most critical node for us to enter the Central Plains, I am worried that Shouchun will lose, and now this Taishou can't openly send a large army over to help, Ziyang's subordinates will be available to Liu Jie." But Liu Jie's commanding ability is limited after all, I hope you can go to Shouchun to help Ziyang defend Shouchun together, and if you have the opportunity, you will take Runan Liu Pi in one fell swoop. When you arrive in Shouchun, I will ask Ziyang to hand over all the troops in the county to you as commander, I hope you will not disappoint me. ”

Wei Yan raised his head in disbelief, and then said excitedly: "Please believe in Wei Yan forever, as long as Wei Yan is still alive, Shouchun will definitely be fine." ”

Liu Xun nodded with satisfaction: "I believe in your ability, okay, I have told you everything that should be explained, you go down and prepare immediately, and leave for Shouchun tomorrow." I'll write you a letter later, and Ziyang will make arrangements after Shouchun. ”

Wei Yan immediately received the order and withdrew from the Taishou Mansion.

After arranging Wei Yan, Liu Xun couldn't help but feel relieved. It was time to relax the tense nerves, and at that moment Liu Xun got up and went to the step trainer to talk about life and ideals.

After all, Sun Shangxiang basically doesn't care much about him at the moment, and Liu Xun is too lazy to be blinded, now that he has a new love, the old love will go first.

Shouchun County

When Liu Ye defeated the bandits and bullies from all walks of life and surrendered their troops, Liu Ye had already set off a storm in the surrounding area of Shouchun.

When Liu Ye rectified Shouchun and developed internal affairs, his power grew to the level of small princes in the world. After all, now he already has a county, with a population of about 180,000, 5,000 armor, and tens of thousands of soldiers at any time.

Now with the rise of Shouchun's strength, there are naturally more people who pay attention to it. However, they didn't know that behind this force, the mastermind was actually Liu Xun, who had become the lord of Jiangdong, and they only thought that Liu Ye was fighting alone.

Among them, the one who pays the most attention to it is Liu Pi, who is closest to Liu Ye.

In the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, all the princes spent their lives in calculations. Liu Ye wanted to calculate Liu Bi, but Liu Bi was not calculating Liu Ye. In this troubled world, there is no right or wrong, only interests.

Runan City is too guarded

At this time, there was already a man sitting next to Liu Pi, and the biggest feature of this person was that his arms were as long as an ape at the knees, and his ears were so big that he could die like a Buddha. Don't look at it, when it comes to this feature, everyone knows that Liu Bei is here.

Liu Bei is also a bumpy person, and he previously took advantage of Cao Cao's inattention to occupy Xuzhou. Complacent, he was ready to conspire with Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao, but Yuan Datou was not angry, and the procrastination led to Liu Bei's defeat, and he was defeated by Cao Cao before he finished his addiction to the state pastor, and finally even his brother and wife were captured, and he himself became a lost dog. The land of Xuzhou returned to Cao Cao in just a few days.

Fortunately, Liu Bei has great ambitions, and losing his wife is not a big deal at all, just marrying one. The key is that this time his two brothers Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were also separated, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, he didn't know when the three brothers would be reunited. What's more critical is that without the two fierce general brothers, how can his hegemony be realized?

At this time, Liu Bi and Liu Bei were sitting opposite each other, and Liu Bi couldn't help but talk about Liu Ye's suddenly growing force.

"Xuande, have you heard of this Liu Ye?" Liu Bi asked lightly.

"I didn't pay much attention to it, but recently I inquired about some news, this person was a famous man in Yangzhou before, I heard that this person was a little bold and went to the banquet alone to kill Zheng Bao, and subdued a group of thieves. Then he led the bandits to capture Shouchun in no man's land. I don't know much else, this person rarely shows up, it's very low-key, and it's not easy to investigate. Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"I haven't heard of it either, but this person has been able to occupy Shouchun's chaotic territory along the way, but it also shows his ability, and he may be able to recruit him for my use." Liu Bi said thoughtfully.

At the beginning, Liu Pi only had thousands of elite soldiers, but with the betrayal of Cao Cao during this period of time, he switched to Yuan Shao, and took advantage of the imminent war of Yuan Cao, Cao Cao was unable to control this land in southern Runan, so he attacked everywhere and expanded his territory, while also accepting Liu Bei sent by Yuan Shao. Now, with the help of Yuan Shao, the food in Liu Pi's army has risen sharply, and the army has also increased to the level of 10,000 soldiers and horses. But in the face of Cao Cao's forces, it was still slightly weak.

Liu Bi is also an ambitious person, and when he heard that Shouchun was developing very well, he naturally had the idea of recruiting Liu Ye.

In fact, it is too expensive to say that Liu Ye is too willing to surrender, and Liu Bi intends to directly annex it by force. Relying on 10,000 elite soldiers will definitely be able to annex Liu Ye, according to the news, Liu Ye's army is only 5,000, and it is a newly run-in army, which is basically dominated by bandits, and its combat effectiveness is definitely not strong.

Recruit first, or destroy if you don't succeed.

Liu Bi's mind was expected by Liu Bei. Although the contact time has not been long, Liu Bei has fully understood that Liu Bi is a very greedy master.

Liu Ye belongs to the newly rising forces, and the base area is also dilapidated, and he belongs to the kind of force that can take advantage of it, and it is normal for Liu Pi to covet three points.
