Han Sui suddenly announced his break with Ma Teng and attacked Ma Teng preemptively, causing Ma Teng to be injured and flee back to Wuguan.

The situation in Nanyang changed drastically. Originally, Dong Zhuo's army and Liu Biao's army were already approaching Wancheng and were planning to attack Wancheng at any time. However, due to changes in the rear, they did not dare to act rashly for a while.

Han Sui's army could cut off Li Jue's retreat route to Xi County by going north, and attack the rear of Huang Zu's army by going south.

None of the forces expected that the one who solved the siege of Wancheng was not Gao Lan, who rushed to the aid of Wancheng, but Han Sui.

By the time Liu Qing received the news, nearly half a month had passed and he convened his staff for discussion again. In addition to Ju Shou who was in charge of Qingzhou, Liu Qing's main staff, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Chen Gong, and Xi Zhicai were all present.

.

Liu Qing sat behind the case and Xun Yu first explained the new situation.

Yuan Shao sent Jiang Qi north to support Jiyin.

Tao Qian sent troops from Pengcheng and passed through Pei State to attack Shanyang County, intending to help Yuan Yi recapture Shanyang County.

Liu Qing said to everyone: "The changes in Nanyang must be the plan of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family's actions are not only in Nanyang, but also in Yanzhou and Xuzhou. I predict that the day when King Chen comes to power, it will be inevitable."

Far away, now Dong Zhuo has sent additional troops and horses to assist Nanyang, and has written to the king, asking to take care of the battle situation in Yanzhou due to the limited troops."

"Lord, this is a good opportunity to take control of Yanzhou!" Chen Gong said immediately. He has always been a representative figure who advocates taking over Yanzhou. He knows that Liu Qing's taking over a place will greatly restrict the local tyrants. For Chen Gong,

He has a noble and powerful background, so he should be a mixed bag of good and bad.

I can only say that Chen Gong is really a ruthless person, or in other words, a really smart person.

He understood that after King Bohai took over Yanzhou, even if the family gave up some interests, he believed that the stable environment and his actions would bring new development to the family.

"At this time, the fight between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao intensified. He was just watching the fire from the other side, continuing to accumulate strength, and just sitting back and watching the strength of both sides weaken. How could there be a good opportunity?" Xun Yu refuted Chen Gong's theory of good opportunity.

"Wen Ruo's words are wrong. The focus of the struggle between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao is Nanyang. This is one of the first. Second, Xu Rong and Duan Xuan are in Yanzhou. Their troops are no more than ten thousand and they have to defend multiple cities. Yuan Shao is now facing

Yanzhou is also perfunctory and passive defense, it is when Yanzhou is most empty, if we don't take it now, how can we wait until the battle in Nanyang is known and Yuan Shao's troops are pressing down on the border before we take it?"

Chen Gong paused and then said: "Thirdly, since the Yellow Turbans, Yanzhou has been in turmoil for three years. In these three years, the war has been accompanied by drought. The people have been miserable. Some have fled north to Hebei, or some have

Fleeing south into Henan, this phenomenon has occurred among our own tribe, so we can say that it is different from ordinary people."

Chen Gong can be said to have spoken out from his own experience, giving Liu Qing enough reasons.

First, stay away from the main line of the dispute between Yuan and Dong, so you can take advantage of it when it is unprepared.

Second, the enemy in Yanzhou is currently not strong, so it is easy to capture.

Third, save the child! No, Chen Gong is a descendant of Yanzhou, so he should say save the mother.

"What Gongtai said is indeed reasonable, but the grain harvest this autumn will supply Qingzhou, and Fuyu's grain-producing land has not yet been expanded. The war with Yuan Shao is not something that can be decided in one battle like the Yellow Turban, but requires a protracted confrontation.

With Xiaomao, Yanzhou is connected to Jizhou to the north, Qingxu to the east, Yuzhou to the south, and Sili to the west, which is a must for military strategists. Therefore, the Yuan family is bound to capture Yanzhou. To capture Yanzhou, they need sufficient food and grass and sufficient soldiers and armor.

Only then can we march into the army."

Xun Yu continued to express his opposition, but he did not oppose Chen Gong's views. The conditions for war may be sufficient, but the necessary preparations are not yet in place.

Liu Qing listened to the two men's speeches and realized that fighter planes were a sufficient condition and logistics was a necessary condition. Both were indispensable.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Chen Gong also fell silent, naturally acquiescing to Xun Yu's statement. The reason why he was eager to take Yanzhou was, on the one hand, for the people of Yanzhou, and on the other hand, for the Chen family in Dongwuyang. Liu Qing had never objected to seeking help for the family.

If you don't even fight for your family's interests, how can you fight for the interests of the country and the people of the world?

Just listen to the story of sacrificing oneself for others. If someone does this, he should be praised and praised, but never ask others for it.

One cannot hold others to the standards of a saint and hold oneself to the standards of a bitch. This is called double standards of fame.

The two people looked left, and there was no right or wrong, so Liu Qing looked at the remaining people, Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, Zhicai, Yuanhao, what do you think?"

"Wen Ruo's words are not unreasonable. Now under the rule of my lord, there are still many undigested counties. We should not rush to take Yanzhou." Tian Feng, who had a steady style, expressed his opposition to the war euphemistically.

"Zhicai?" Liu Qing named him directly.

Xi Zhicai smiled helplessly, cupped his hands and said, "The people of Qingzhou have not been properly resettled yet. My lord cannot keep raising them. If a full-scale war breaks out in Yanzhou, then Yanzhou will also breed countless refugees."

Xi Zhicai also objected.

Finally, Liu Qing set his sights on Guo Jia.

Guo Jia knew he couldn't hide, so he said: "You can fight, you can also not fight!"

"That doesn't mean I didn't say anything!"

"My lord, if you insist on going to war, with your strength and accumulation, you will definitely win the battle. This is not difficult. If you don't fight, then you must accumulate more and less, and then choose the opportunity to fight. This depends on what you say, whether you want to fight or not.

It is our duty to make plans and seek victory for our lord."

Guo Jia has a high emotional intelligence and his speech not only spoke for the "quick war faction", but also seemed to speak for the "wait and wait faction". He also flattered Liu Qing, "It all depends on your lord's words, we will be responsible for making suggestions."

", how comfortable it is to hear this.

Well said Fengxiao! Don’t say it again next time!

In the end, the question of whether to attack Yanzhou or not was thrown back to Guo Jia.

Liu Qing dragged his chin, rubbed his few velvet beards, thought for a long time, and then slapped the case.

"Hit! Beat Tao Qian!"

You dare to help Zhou and invade our Shanyang County. If I can't deal with Yuan Shao, why can't I deal with you?

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Best meeting, my lord!"

"Oh? Where is Gao?"

Liu Qing planned to give Guo Jia a test because even he didn't know.

Guo Jia extended his hand to show Xun Yu and Chen Gong, and said: "Wen Ruo and Gongtai said that this is not the time to start a full-scale war with Yuan Shao, but Tao Qian is a supporter of the Yuan family, and it is not enough to rule a state, so he dares

Tao Qian seems to be impatient to hand over Xuzhou to the lord as he has his hands on Shanyang County, which has been acquired by the lord. Wouldn't it be wise for the lord to seize such an opportunity?"

"Moreover!" Guo Jia continued: "Zhao Yun is stationed in Langya and can attack the East China Sea of ​​Xuzhou. Zhu Ling is stationed in Mount Tai and can assist Shanyang of Yanzhou. Wenyuan is wandering around the borders of Qingxu and Yanzhou and can attack Tao Qian.

When the lord went to Qingzhou to ping Huangjin, he deployed Zhang Liao, Zhu Ling, and Zhao Yun. Now that Tao Qian wants to come, isn't he throwing himself into a trap and playing into the lord's arms? You guys, isn't this a skillful move?"

After listening to Guo Jiayi's analysis, Liu Qing suddenly realized that he was so powerful.

"The enemy has been predicted ahead of time and the chess pieces have been prepared. No wonder the lord wants to go to Qingzhou in person. This arrangement really puts us to shame." Chen Gong sighed.

Tian Feng also followed: "When did my lord become so wise? No wonder the lord faired the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou and did not waste any of his soldiers, but he stranded all the three armies in Qingzhou."

"General Zhu Ling captured Taishan County in March, and the lord appointed him as the prefect of Taishan. Even half a year ago, the lord was already planning today's situation!" Xi Zhicai also added fuel to the fire and joined the Kua Kua Party.

Everyone has praised their lord, but now the pressure is on Xun Yu.

"Ahem..." Xun Yu coughed twice, with a look of helplessness on his face. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Actually...a year ago..."

Liu Qing's hand unconsciously moved from his chin to his forehead.

It's outrageous. The more you brag about it, the more outrageous it becomes. Why is it that Guo Jia led me to disillusionment?

"A year ago, my lord asked me about the situation of the Zhuge family in Langya. I didn't understand it at first, but now that I think about it, I suddenly realized that the Zhuge family is a prominent family in Langya. Zhuge Gui serves as the magistrate of Taishan County. Now it seems that Zhu Ling serves as the prefect of Mount Taishan.

, Zhuge Gui assisted him, and my lord got the Zhuge twins to teach Mr. Hu Zhao, and my lord easily established a foothold in Langya Kingdom."

Xun Yu stopped as soon as he nodded, and did not say anything embarrassing. All the staff looked at each other, smiled, and nodded.

The tacit understanding between people with high IQs is really scary, and Liu Qing is really dumbfounded.

Finally, amid the laughter and laughter, the plan to "beat Tao Qian" was made.

…

In Pengcheng, Xuzhou, soldiers and horses have gathered outside the city, but he has never chosen the candidate for the deputy general to command the troops.

After Zang Ba lost contact with Sun Guan, Tao Qian made repeated inquiries and learned that the two of them had arrived in Taishan County, and had become Cao Cao, the chief and deputy thief, and arrested the bandits in Taishan County.

Zang Ba Sun Guan, a former Taishan thief, went to arrest the Taishan thief. Is this the revenge of King Bohai?

It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!

After losing Zang Ba and Sun Guan, Tao Qian had few people available under his command. Cao Bao could do well as a subordinate but could not lead the army independently. Although Zuo Rong was powerful, he had been engaged in supervising the transportation of grain and grass and had no ability.

Leadership experience.

So Tao Qian suddenly became a bare general with neither a forward nor a lieutenant.

However, this still could not stop Tao Qian's determination to expedition to the north and add bricks and tiles to the Yuan family.

Fortunately, Chen Deng and Sun Qianchong joined the military to advise him.

As they were about to set off, Tao Qian suddenly felt unwell for some unknown reason, so he asked Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, why do I always feel uneasy? Is this an ominous cover?"

Chen Deng touched his right-hand beard and said, "I'm afraid you've done too much and you're too tired."

"At this time of year, although the temperature has dropped, it is far from cold. Why do you feel like there is a cold wind behind you?"

Chen Deng frowned and said: "The wind has been blowing from the north lately, so the Jun family's house faces south, so naturally it feels like the wind is blowing from behind."

Tao Qian said "oh" doubtfully and left the city.

To get to Shanyang, we need to pass through Peiguo and spend some time. Chen Deng introduces the information obtained by Yuan Shaona to Tao Qian: "At present, Shanyang's army is empty. There are only Li Qian and Xu Qian, the giant barbarians, who are relying on them.

It's just Lu Bu who is stationed in Chengshi County, and Chengshi is in the north, and Lu Bu is restrained by Yuan Yi, and this is the time when Shanyang is empty!"
