I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 420 After this battle, I am the number one Mushou in the world
The main reason why Liu Jian divided the soldiers and horses into two parts was that he knew in his heart that his own strength was too strong, once he entered Sizhou, he would inevitably break the original deadlock in Sizhou.

This is an inevitability.

The pressure of a powerful military force will inevitably lead to the joint resistance of other forces. This is an inevitability from ancient times to the present, and even in the future. The torrent of the times has verified that this is the nature of human beings.

Therefore, Liu Jian divided the elite troops into two troops in advance, one led by Liu Bei and the other led by himself.

At the same time, after analyzing the situation in front of him, he felt that it would be better to send some soldiers from Qingzhou and Youzhou to support them.

In addition, in order to prevent Liu Bei from being inferior to the opponent in terms of strategy, Liu Jian asked Tian Feng to accompany Liu Bei to help Liu Bei analyze various situations in case Liu Bei fell into the trap.

After making these arrangements, Liu Jian first sent someone to Luoyang to deliver a letter to Lu Zhi, saying that the situation in Sizhou was more urgent and he could not go to Luoyang to visit his master, so he asked Lu Zhi to forgive him.

Naturally, Lu Zhi would not feel that Liu Jian and Liu Bei were rebellious because of such a trivial matter, and he felt that Liu Jian and Liu Bei were able to see the situation clearly at this critical moment and know what they should prioritize, which was very gratifying.

So, Liu Jian and Liu Bei started to do what they wanted to do.

Although Tian Feng followed Liu Bei, Liu Jian still has Jia Xu and others to help him, and he is not short of think tanks.

It is very important to control everything before the battle. The accuracy of intelligence can affect the direction of a war.

Therefore, Liu Jian was not in a hurry to fight the opponent, but first spread out a large number of scouts and spies, and tried his best to investigate the situation in Sizhou.

Compared with other mushous, Liu Jian's biggest advantage now is not that he has a good soldier, nor is he well armored, but that he has more resources, more money, more food, more cattle, sheep and horses.

Among Mu Shou, there is no one who can be as rich and powerful as Liu Jian.

And there are no people who are willing to make great efforts in scouting and detection.

Most of the princes, Mushou are more willing to spend their resources on recruiting troops and building ordnance. However, although they also invest in the construction of spy and scout troops, the proportion of overall expenditure is not high.

Therefore, although Liu Jian cannot have an absolute advantage in intelligence investigation and counter-reconnaissance, in most cases, he can still grasp the opportunity.

This time, Guoyuan, the secret agent in Hebei who was in charge of the spies under Liu Jian, the commander-in-chief, brought back several important news for Liu Jian.

First, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao acted separately.

Yuan Shao used Chen Lin as his envoy to visit Lu Bu and Niu Fu, but he didn't know why.

As for Cao Cao, he sent a man named Lu Fan to Chenliu secretly.

In addition, Guoyuan also brought back the news of the Central Plains to Liu Jian, that is, Yuan Shu, who is currently in Yanzhou, has been complaining about illness, but the counties and military camps in the territory under his jurisdiction seem to be on deployment. In fact, it seems that there is something moving.

Although the news that Guoyuan brought back to Liu Jian is a bit scattered, the content in it is quite intriguing. As long as you think about it carefully, you can find the disadvantages in it.

"Yuan Shao sent people to Lu Buna, and Cao Cao sent people to Zhang Miao. This is a compromise. Yuan Benchu ​​really regarded me as a big enemy. He wanted to gather all the forces around Sizhou and drive me back. Hebei."

Sun Qiandao: "The last official is willing to go to Lv Bu's army and say that Lv Bu will reject Yuan and Cao and join forces with the lord."

Liu Jian looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wenhe, in your opinion, is it possible to ask Gongyou to see Lu Bu?"

Jia Xu said very solemnly: "I'm afraid it may not be possible."

Sima Yanliang of the other department stood by, disbelief: "I didn't come to Sizhou this time to occupy the important area of ​​Sizhou, so why does Lu Bu insist on opposing us?"

Jia Xu picked up a black feather fan on the table in front of her, and while fanning it lightly, she showed an inscrutable smile.

Liu Jian's eyelids twitched slightly.

This old guy even got a black lupine, when did he have this problem again.

"Yan Sima Yong is brave, but he still doesn't have enough guesses about the current politics and people's hearts. Yuan Shao sent people to stop the war with Lv Bu. With Lv Bu's character, if he can be the master and let Gongyou go to lobby, it may be possible."

"But Sima, don't forget that although Lu Bu and Niu Fu are fighting on the front lines, it is Dong Zhuo who can really decide who Lu Bu will fight with."

Yan Liang asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with Dong Zhuo? Will Dong Zhuo definitely let Lv Bu fight the lord? Logically speaking, Dong Zhuo and the lord will carry out the New Deal together, and since he is against the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo should let Lv Bu fight Yuan Shao." yes!"

Jia Xu laughed a few times, but didn't say much.

When it comes to this level, those who should understand will naturally understand, so Jia Xu need not repeat it.

Sun Qian sighed at the side: "Dong Zhuo and the lord are indeed the same in promulgating the new policy and controlling the power of the local prefectures, but Dong Zhuo and the lord are competitors in terms of conquering the city and expanding the territory... "

"My lord has become more and more powerful in Hebei these years, especially after opening mines in Youzhou and absorbing the power of foreigners, the overall strength of Hebei has stepped up to a higher level. The longer the time, the bigger the gap between other forces in the world and the lord,"

"Dong Zhuo and Li Ru are not like Wang Kuang and others. With their shrewdness, I'm afraid they can see this at any time..."

"Snapped!"

When the words fell, Liu Jian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reached out and patted the table.

Although the knocking sound was not loud, it still made everyone in the tent quiet, and everyone turned their heads to look at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian slowly stood up from the spot, glanced back and forth at the crowd, and said, "There is no need to really lobby Lu Bu, and there is no need to send someone to lobby Dong Zhuo."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the tent was obviously taken aback, except Jia Xu, who was unmoved, but his eyes seemed to be shining inadvertently when he looked at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian said loudly: "In the past, when I first arrived in Jizhou, although I had the respect of the emperor's uncle, I was still not as good as the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three princes in terms of background. The situation is uncertain, so every time I act, I have a plan, have many scruples, act steadily, never act rashly, accumulate carefully for many years, and finally achieve today's prosperity."

Speaking of this, Liu Jian walked to his sword, drew out his long sword, and held the sword to the middle of the tent.

"Over the years, I have established chambers of commerce, developed farming, recruited refugees, crusaded against Montenegro, practiced the method of saving land, implemented new policies, promoted printing and publishing of famous classics, developed sea salt and textile industries, made Qingzhou brocade popular in the world, and cultivated two major lands. Iron ore, export graphite in northern Xinjiang, collect people from Wuhuan, make the Xianbei tribes abandon the war and use the pastures for our Han, and the aliens in northern Xinjiang will go out of corvee for our Han graphite and other corresponding things. Hebei built cities and canals, and became the subordinate people of our strong Han, so that the people of Hebei can live in peace, the state is rich and the people are strong..."

Speaking of this, Liu Jian glanced back and forth at the crowd and said: "From now on, Hebei will continue to absorb wealth and people from the tribes in northern Xinjiang and the countries in the Northeast for its own use. Hebei's financial resources, manpower, cattle and sheep Livestock, even war horses, will surge every year, and the other states of Dahan will become weaker and weaker due to the war, but only our Hebei will grow stronger year by year!"

"So, at this time, I no longer need to hide and shrink like I did back then,"

"At this stage, even being cautious is useless! People will still see it!"

"Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others will know my true strength sooner or later!"

"The strength is already here, there is no need to hide it!"

"All heroes in the world will guard against me!"

"After this battle, let the whole world know that Liu is the most powerful Mu Shou in the world!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were overjoyed when they heard the words, they stood up respectively, clasped their hands together and said to Liu Jian, "My lord is raising an army, we two are willing to be the vanguard!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Qi, Qu Junhou, and Han Meng from Qinghe, Jizhou, stepping out of the class.

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, I am willing to defeat the enemy for my lord!"

Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan from Youzhou also left for work.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to go!"

Ma Yan from Julu and Zhang Kai from Xindu also stood up.

"We can also share the Lord's worries!"

Now that all the generals in Hebei are fighting with such pride, Liu Jian is very pleased.

It seems that the sentence I just said - "After this battle, I will be the number one shepherd in the world" has aroused the fighting spirit of all the officers.

Everyone is eager to try and want to compete for meritorious service.

"I have so many heroes in Hebei, why worry about Yuan Cao and Lu Niu not breaking through?"

"The soldiers of the three armies listen to my orders. Let's fight Lu Bu and Niu Fu first! Then chase Yuan Shao, Cao Cao!"

"It's all at the command of the lord!"

Liu Jian looked at Sun Qian and said, "Gongyou, you still need to go to Lu Bu and Niu Fu camp to convey my sincerity to them."

Sun Ganshi was also agitated by Liu Jian's words, and at this moment when he suddenly heard Liu Jian say this to him, he couldn't help being stunned.

"My lord, didn't you just say that you would stop lobbying Lu Bu?"

Liu Jian laughed and said, "I just said that I lobbied him, but I never said I lobbied him."

When Sun Qian heard the words, he suddenly realized.

He straightened his chest, bowed to Liu Jian, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will live up to my trust."
