Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 688 Zhang Liao is Pretty Good
Seeing the excitement in Liu Xie's eyes, but silently suppressing a trace of anxiety, Xun You suddenly felt relieved: Our Majesty is indeed a normal-sounding young man.For the things he loves, he still has an unstoppable urge to chase after them.Otherwise, staying with a wise and powerful genius all day long will always make me feel an indescribable sense of pressure.

As a result, Xun You's tone relaxed a lot afterwards. Even though the topic was serious and difficult to solve, it was not a problem for Xun You: "Your Majesty, Black Mountain Bandit is just our unified name for them. In fact, , There are many fortresses in the Taihang Mountains, and the various forces are also intricate."

"It's just that Zhang Yan inherited the name of Chu Feiyan and used the banner of the remnants of the Yellow Turban to gather these people into one force. But Zhang Yan is only a commander in name after all, and his ability to control various forces is still Very limited. And some small powers can't stand Yuan Shao's soft and hard tactics, so it is reasonable to disobey Zhang Yanyang."

"Just like how Yuan Shao was able to lure those Black Mountain bandits back then to conspire against Hanoi?" Of course Liu Xie understood this truth, and his thoughts naturally began to diverge.

Since he has the news of the lifeline of the Black Mountain bandits here, Zhang Yan must have deliberately tried to hide it from the leaders of those forces.This is the same as the Han Dynasty must uphold Zhengshuo, so Zhang Yan must also uphold the banner of "the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand" in order to win over the black mountain bandits, a force that specifically opposes the Han Dynasty.If the leaders of those forces knew that what they ate was the food of the Han Dynasty, then the position of Zhang Yan, the leader, would have been questioned and rebelled long ago.

"I'm afraid that's not the only thing." Xun You picked up the information on Zhang Yan sent by the Jinyiwei at this time, and put forward another guess: "If the minister's prediction is correct, in fact, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Black Mountain bandits will invade Jin this time. Regarding Yang, Zhang Yan also acquiesced. Judging from the intelligence, this person should belong to the scheming generation."

"In his current situation, he is clearly an enemy of the Han Dynasty and Yuan Shao, but in fact he also knows that the Black Mountain bandits must not be able to contend with the two predators at the same time. Therefore, this time he tacitly accepts that those forces that are biased towards Yuan Shao will send troops to Jinyang , and the forces of myself and my cronies stand still, in fact, they are also extremely conspiratorial."

Speaking of this, Liu Xie didn't wait for Xun You to continue to explain, so he interjected with great interest: "Well... on the one hand, the uneasy factors among the forces have been cleared; This Zhang Yan, although he hasn't read many books, his mentality is somewhat treacherous."

Xun You, Zhong Yao, Lu Su and others all smiled when they heard the words: Yes, Liu Xie's words touched Zhang Yan's heart at once.Liu Xie's unique maturity is also the advanced acumen that only an outstanding politician possesses.

After all, if this guess is true, Zhang Yan will undoubtedly be the winner after this battle.

"That being the case, that is to say, those so-called Black Mountain bandits are actually Zhang Yan's discarded sons. I don't have to worry about Zhang Yan's unwise actions after a cruel blow to them. On the contrary, this time I have to take Only by using thunderous means can Zhang Yan feel the majesty of the Han Dynasty!"

At this point in the analysis, Liu Xie gradually had a clearer understanding of the remaining two forces: "There is also Budugen, and I will not let you lightly this time! I brought the 'offenders' before, Although Yuan Shao's words are far away, but Budugen dared to treat my words as nothing because of Yuan Shao's fire, then I must give him a deep impression. After all, Budugen is just a But my eyes can't be limited to his one. Since he has become the rafter of this young man, he must be mentally prepared to rot first!"

After saying this, Liu Xie looked at the sand table simulation picture again, and the corner of his mouth was rippling with disdain: Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, I thought you, No.1 in Hebei, came up with such a big plan this time.Unexpectedly, it is still a trick of killing people with a borrowed knife.

Yes, Yuan Shao seems to have carefully planned the matter of merging the state this time around, and there is a tendency to provoke the ultimate battle in the four years of Xingping. It's exactly the same.It's just that there were only Black Mountain bandits back then, and this time he took advantage of last year's cold disaster to use one more Xianbei Budugen.The remaining Baibo bandits and Bingzhou are inevitably suffering from the troubles of the nobles, but because of the situation, they have no direct relationship with Yuan Shao.

But no matter what this time, Yuan Shao was a lot more cautious, and his momentum and power were much greater than last time.With such a plan, Yuan Shao seemed to have the power to be the overlord of the world and command the world.Presumably, Yuan Shao at this time was uncontrollably complacent in Yecheng, Jizhou, looking forward to the news of victory.

However, Yuan Shao neglected that the present Han Dynasty is no longer the original Han Dynasty.The more noise Yuan Shao made, the harder the blow to Yuan Shao's prestige would be after the Han Dynasty suppressed it.As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall.

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Liu Xie's mouth couldn't help but grow stronger. His wide sleeve robe swung out again suddenly, and his fingers walked around the generals in a cheerful rhythm: "Deal with Budugen!" I need to be fast, ruthless, and accurate with the two forces of the Black Mountain Bandit! It seems that this time we must dispatch a heavyweight general."

Today, there are only Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun among the famous generals in Chang'an who are still powerful in the Han Dynasty.Obviously, the trap camp led by Gao Shun is not suitable for such a long-distance raid.Although Gao Shun's trapped camp can also mount horses and become aggressive cavalry, but Gao Shun is experienced in using troops, calm and steady, and lacks the purpose of Liu Xie's thunderous strike this time.

It is not suitable to leave Lu Bu, the hero of the world.Although Lu Bu had experience in fighting against the black bandits, Lu Bu's weight was really heavy, so he threw it out easily this time, which seemed to be a bit of a loss for the Han Dynasty.What's more, Lu Bu's meritorious service was already overwhelming. Although Liu Xie was not afraid of Lu Bu's relapse, he didn't want any of his generals to surpass the master.

Therefore, Liu Xie's finger turned towards Xu Huang and Zhao Yun.Of these two people, one of them has the feat of running thousands of miles and resisting Guan Yu in history; the other is calm, upright, loyal, low-key and unstoppable; moreover, the troops commanded by the two are also very good at running. cavalry.Obviously, both of them are excellent candidates.

"Your Majesty, if this order is to go out at the end, we must wipe out the traitors from other races and revitalize the Wuwei of our Han Dynasty!" Xu Huang was the closest to Liu Xie, obviously seeing the hesitation in Liu Xie's heart, and immediately stepped forward and introduced himself .

"Your Majesty, although the last general does not dare to compete with General Xu, but it is only a small matter of eradicating Budugen and the Black Mountain bandits, the last general is willing to do it for General Xu!" Zhao Yun is a Confucian general, but Confucian generals are also generals. He is also unwilling to be outdone by the temptation of Yin and Zongma to show off their power.

But the two of them didn't know that their opening made Liu Xie even more difficult: Although the situation in Bingzhou was in jeopardy, balancing the relationship between generals in the court was also a major matter for Liu Xie to consider.Moreover, to be honest, the reputation of these two people is scary enough, Liu Xie felt that sending two people there at random would still make the Han Dynasty look a little fussy.

Therefore, after this thought flashed in his mind, he moved his fingers away from Xu Huang and Zhao Yun.In the end, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and with a slight smile on his lips, he suddenly stopped his fingers on Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, who was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, was pretending to be calm and arrogant with a hint of disdain.After all, he is no longer the Lu Bu of the past, so he can guess Liu Xie's thoughts.But when Liu Xie finally saw that Liu Xie's fingers really stopped on his body and remained motionless, Lu Bu's tiger eyes suddenly burst into great surprise, and he couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Bingzhou is the homeland of the late general, and your majesty favored him so much." The general, the final general must sacrifice his life in return!"

"Uh...General Lu, don't be excited, don't be excited." Liu Xie knew that Lu Bu was thinking too much when he saw Lu Bu's reaction, so he quickly explained: "Well, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? The Pillar of the Sky is well known to the world. If it’s just these thieves, I’ll use a heavy weapon lightly, wouldn’t it make Yuan Benchu ​​laugh?”

"But the general doesn't mind!" Lu Bu was in a hurry, and directly said what was in his heart, instantly embarrassed: "No, what the general means is that your majesty is going to be violent this time, the more fierce and ruthless , the more it can show the majestic power of the Han Dynasty..."

"However, I feel that this feat can also be accomplished by a general who is not well-known. Wouldn't the Han Dynasty's attitude of lifting the weight so lightly make the world look at it even more?"

As soon as Lu Bu's face darkened, he knew that he was acting affectionate this time.But after turning his eyes, he suddenly understood: "Your Majesty, you want to promote a newcomer this time without sticking to one pattern? And, it's still the last general, no, is it?..."

"Not bad." Liu Xie smiled, with a chic and relaxed expression: "I heard that Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan seem to be pretty good."
