"March is coming, the first thing is spring plowing, and the second thing is the expansion of Youzhou. I feel vaguely that relying solely on Liu, Yu, and Chen Palace Gongsun Zan may not go as smoothly as imagined. I also need to be prepared to come in person.

, I will rely on you for the affairs of Yanzhou."

The reason for this arrangement was that Liu Qing had to decide the importance of foreign matters by himself. Liu Yu was okay, but if Gongsun Zan was left to handle it, he would probably be defeated until he was convinced.

After all, the purpose of external expansion is to seek development, not to show off one's power, nor to punish without mercy. As for matters in the Central Plains, several staff members are more skillful in handling them and should be able to do it properly.

After the discussion was over, the four staff members retreated. Liu Qing called you Cai Yan and began to draw up the documents.

The first is to express condolences to Dong Zhuo. Hu Zhen has just died, and Fan Chou died in the battle. By the way, I want to talk about the food donation. I will support Xu Rong, your beloved general.

The second is the matter of recommending Jushou. Dong Zhuo currently has no appeal against Qingzhou. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be possible. After all, 150,000 stones of grain and grass are worth tens of millions of dollars. According to Liu Hong's price, the three princes can buy it.

, a mere governor, no more words.

This move is mainly a way to maintain the relationship between past and future interests.

Cai Yan wrote it according to Liu Qing's wishes. When Liu Qing read it, his handwriting was beautiful and his literary talent was outstanding.

"Husband, I want to write a letter to my father and tell him about Mr. Hu Zhao, is it possible?" Cai Yan held up the pen lightly, looked at Liu Qing and blinked, his eyes bright and clear, full of expectation.

How could Liu Qing refuse? He smiled and said: "Of course! After I finish writing, I will accompany you to dinner. Also, by the way, I would like to ask my father-in-law if you have some free time, remember to go back to Yecheng to have a look. I have bought a new house for him."

Cai Yan smiled sweetly and leaned forward in a sitting position, "Thank you so much, husband!"

Liu Qing stood up, rubbed Cai Yan's head, and said dotingly: "Thank you for nothing, silly!"

After saying that, he walked to the hanging map and looked at it. Cai Yan smiled knowingly and began to write a letter to his father.

…

"Bang!"

After receiving the report from Xu Rongjun, Dong Zhuo threw the wine glass on the table to the ground.

"My son, Yuan Shao, kill my beloved general and we swear to take revenge! Military strategist, military strategist, we want to conquer Yuan Shao, where is the best place to send troops?"

After hearing this, Jia Xu and Li Ru looked at each other. Jia Xu winked and signaled Li Ru to speak first.

"My lord, ask Yuan Zi to take over the East County of Yingchuan, and send out two armies to force Runan! Needless to say, the Yingchuan front line, and the East County front line, if General Xu wins, the morale will be greatly boosted. My lord only needs to send another

If one person takes Fan Chou's place, he will definitely be victorious. Furthermore, we can continue to unite with the King of Bohai to attack Yuan Shao in this battle."

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he felt that there was nothing new. He would attack from two directions and let him decide. I was afraid he would also attack in the same way, so he looked at Jia Xu.

"Do you have anything to add to Wen He?" Dong Zhuo asked Jia Xu again.

Jia Xu rushed to Dong Zhuo and handed over his hand, "What Wen You said is consistent with common sense. If Dong Gong intends to attack Yuan, he can use this method. However, the war in Nanyang is the top priority right now. I hope Dong Gong will consider it."

Jia Xu implicitly expressed his opposition and advocated breaking through Nanyang first.

"Li Jue reported that he was planning to lure Sun Jian, but Sun Jian did not move, which is puzzling."

In fact, Sun Jian did not stand still, but suffered from a lack of food and fodder, and under the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides, Yuan Shu did not want to see Sun Jian's risky move.

Dong Zhuo thought about it, "How about we ask Niu Fu, who is stationed in Hedong, to rush to Nanyang to help?"

Niu Fu in the east of Hedong was the one who frightened Bai Bo's army. Now Niu Fu and Bai Bo's army are crossing the Fen River to control it, which is quite peaceful.

However, Tian Jing, the chief secretary, immediately raised objections: "Don't do it, Mr. Dong. Spring plowing is about to begin. General Niu must not leave Hedong. It is better to send Colonel Zhang Ji to support."

Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Xu, who nodded, and then looked at Li Ru, who also nodded.

"Zhang Ji listens to the order!" Dong Zhuo ordered loudly.

"The general is here!" Zhang Ji, who was wearing a brown robe, immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"We will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and we will march to Nanyang soon. Cooperate with Li Jue, and we will take Sun Jian's head!" Dong Zhuo said angrily.

Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian not only had official feuds, but also private grudges. In the past, when Sun Jian was serving in the military for Zhang Wen in Meiyang, he often spoke against Zhang Wen and executed Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo had heard of all these things.

What now? Hum hum, Zhang Wen died first, and then Sun Jian!

…

At this time, the generals on the northern front of Nanyang were feeling rather depressed.

Li Jue showed off his flaws, but it was a pity that Sun Jian was not fooled. If he did not fall for the fool again, Li Jue's vanguard might really hit Wancheng City.

In fact, Sun Jian really wanted to send troops, but it was a pity that Yuan Shu did not provide him with food and grass. He only stopped for three days and the troops could not move at all. This made Sun Jian and his generals very depressed. Huang Gai and Zu Mao even clamored to go.

Wancheng looks for Yuan Shu's theory.

At the Wan County Prefecture, Yuan Shu was discussing matters with the chief secretary Yan Xiang, the chief historian Yang Hong, Zhang Xunqiao Rui and other generals. Regarding Sun Jian's issue, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang had differences. During this period, there were many arguments over this matter.

.

Yan Xiang believed that Sun Jian should be given enough autonomy. After all, Sun Jian's combat effectiveness was obvious to all, especially when he defeated Ma Teng and Han Sui directly back to Wuguan. Li Jue should also have a chance of winning.

Yang Hong believed that Sun Jian could contain Li Jue. In this way, Wancheng could be protected. Although this was a conservative strategy, it would make it difficult for Li Jue to advance. In this way, he could concentrate his forces to resist Huang Zu's attack in the south.

.

In fact, Yuan Shu himself was inclined to Yan Xiang's suggestion, but both Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui agreed with Yang Hong's suggestion, so he was wavered again and could not make up his mind.

It's the same today. Except for Qiao Rui's request to go south to support Ji Ling, everyone still has their own opinions and nothing has changed.

After the discussion, everyone left. Yan Xiang, the chief registrar, often accompanied Yuan Shu. After thinking about it, he talked to Yuan Shu again.

"My lord, General Sun is a hero. He bent down to serve my lord mostly because of money and food. There should not be any stumbling blocks on this issue. Besides, General Sun has won many times. If he can defeat Li Jue in one fell swoop, he can join forces to attack Huang Zu.

Greatly increases your chances of winning.”

"Master Yan, do you think it's better to have food and grass? But neither Yang Changshi nor the two generals agree," Yuan Shu said.

"My lord, Yang Changshi is cautious by nature. It's not surprising that he has this opinion. It's just that the two generals..." Yan Xiang started to squeak.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Here! My lord, the two generals have been following my lord for a long time, and General Sun took the middle path and defected to my lord. With all due respect, the two generals do not want to see General Sun make great achievements, but this is also human nature.

"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he chewed Yan Xiang's words carefully, especially the last sentence. The two generals did not want to see Sun Jian make great achievements, so they supported the conservative plan.

After listening to Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Shu's intention to restore Sun Jian's food supply became clearer.

"Master Yan, please send me an order to immediately allocate 20,000 stones of grain and grass to Sun Jian's camp, and order him to use troops immediately to defeat Li Jue as soon as possible!" Yuan Shu ordered.
