In speaking back, Lei Bo's defeated army joined forces with Chen Lan and stationed themselves in Tang Yi.

When Chen Lan saw Lei Bo, he asked strangely:

“Where is General Zhang, not with you?”

Lei Bo said bitterly:

“Don't talk about it, originally the front line I have been engaged in a tug-of-war with the opposite generals, obviously I was almost able to push back, but from the direction of Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) suddenly killed an army that attacked unexpectedly and suddenly, resulting in the collapse of several of my defenses, and I led the rest of my men all the way to retreat in defeat before I met up with you, how did I see Zhang Xun.”

Chen Lan held his forehead, so it seems that the city of Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) is already lost, Zhang Xun is also in a bad way, and they are still facing a big problem, what will Liu Bei's army do next. Xuyi (present day Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province, China)? Dongcheng? Or Tangyi (present-day Liaocheng City, Shandong Province), where they were? He wasn't the kind of general who was particularly capable, and the order Yuan Shu gave him in the first place was only for him to delay Liu Bei's army from attacking Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) County, but now that Guangling County (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) has been lost, what should he do next?

On the other hand, Zhang Fei had already arrived at Guangling, and had joined forces with Guan Yu, each with more than 5,000 men, and were heading for Tangyi (present-day Liaocheng City, Shandong Province). At this tense moment, it was broken by a piece of paper.

Back when Liu Bei reported to Liu Xian, Liu Xian threw out a question after Liu Bei had finished:

“Dare I ask my lord, this is indeed a joyous moment, but how do we break it off afterward?”

Liu Bei is confused, isn't this an answer to winning the battle, what do you mean how to break it off?

Liu Xian continues to prompt:

“Whose land is Guangling County? “

Liu Bei suddenly, they raided Yuan Shu's Guangling County (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China), at this time, although it is a win and occupy the entire Guangling County, but this is Yuan Shu's army are on the march, if Yuan Shu because of the loss of the land and the rate of the army to attack them how to do it, they can hold just down the Guangling County (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China?), they will be able to defend the county.

Liu Xian immediately begged to ask:

“Does the consigliere have any countermeasures?”

Liu Xian smiled and said:

“This is the Lord do not need to ask me, I believe that Yuan Shu will break off!”

“Oh?”

Liu Bei and Jian Yong are curious, Yuan Shu will break off? Does it mean that Yuan Shu will not send troops?

Liu Xian also saw the expression of Liu Bei and Jian Yong, smiled and said: “Before Xian said, this Yuan Shu generations in high official position

* or first born (Zongfa system: the wife's eldest son will inherit the lineage of the clan, while younger sons of the wife and sons of concubines will not be regarded as rightful successors). The eldest son will also inherit the noble title of his father and majority share of the heritage), and lives a life of luxury. The eldest son will also inherit the noble title of his father and majority share of the heritage, living a life of paper drunkenness, so he has developed the thinking of a playboy, and likes to solve everything with money. What's more, I heard that his palace has been repaired recently, and now the jade seal is in his hands, so he is expected to be called the emperor soon, so do you think that he will still go around to start a conflict? I think he will make a truce with us and Lu Bu, and give us a sum of money and food to make an alliance with him, and then let us send troops towards Lu Bu, and then he will come to reap the benefits from the bilateral combat when we fight with Lu Bu and both of them are injured (Means: A third party harvests the benefits from the bilateral combat.), which can be described as playing a good hand of attention!”

Liu Bei thought carefully and realized that this really fits Yuan Shu's thinking, so he added:

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

“Then what should we do?”

“It's very simple, let General Zhang and General Guan send out troops to repel the reinforcements with speed first, and the next step is internal affairs.”

Liu Xian paused for a moment and continued:

“The first thing is definitely to get in touch with Lu Bu and Zang Ba in the north and express friendliness to them, this is a very crucial point. Befriend Lu Bu because we are asking him and Zang Ba to help us defend against Cao Cao, so we can return the captive Cao Se to Lu Bu and secretly sign a plan with him to attack Yuan Shu,,, saying that if we take down Yuan Shu's land, the whole of Jiujiang County (present day Jiangxi Province, China) and above will be given to Lu Bu. Lv Bu often changes without a stable state, but he hates it when others often change without a stable state against him, so since Lv Bu's defeat from Xiapi (present-day Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province), he hated Yuan Shu and only thought about how to get rid of Yuan Shu, and he would be suspicious of Yuan Shu's gesture of goodwill, not daring to believe it unreservedly, so there is no need to worry that he would go back on his words and not cooperate with us. On the contrary, now faced with the tightening of the step by step pressure from Yuan Cao. Lu Bu may take the initiative to cooperate with us, and may not be able to fund our grain and grass!”

“Secondly, Zang Ba, as the Nobel clans of Langya County (present-day Qingdao City, Shandong Province), he definitely doesn't want Cao Cao to come south and threaten the Nobel clans of the entire Langya County, so let's take advantage of this principle and make a gesture of goodwill to him, saying that Lv Bu listened to the rumors that Xiapi was lost because of you, and therefore wants to start a war against you and destroy the entire Nobel clans of the entire Luangya County. Nobel clans, and Cao Cao also recently had the intention of going south, and finally said to him that we will always support the Nobel clans of Langya County (present-day Qingdao City, Shandong Province) and allow them to go to Donghai County (present-day Linyi City, Shandong Province, south and northeast of Jiangsu Province) to do business.

) to do business. In short, it is to express to Zang Ba friendly, cooperative wishes, generally so, as for the details Well, that depends on our Jian Yong's literary talent.”

“The next step is to communicate with Minister Chang of Taishan County (present-day Shandong Province), and I have heard that the Lord has long been communicating with him by letter for a long time, and that this person has a close relationship with all the generals under Zang Ba, so I think that recruiting him as a subordinate will also be a great help.”

“Next, Guangling County (present-day Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province) I think must also be handed over to Chen Deng to take care of. Three years ago it was Chen Deng who excavated the West Road of Gan Gan (to meet the demand for military transportation, the project time was short, to reduce the amount of construction, and to maximize the use of the natural lakes and rivers between Jiangsu and Huaihekai), to improve the shipping traffic in Guangling County, and to use Gan Gan Gan to form an effective strategic line of defense against Yuan Zhuji. This slowed down Yuan Shu's attack and saved my lord's rear. I think Chen Deng is a talented person with high achievements in politics, military, strategy, city building, water conservancy, etc. I think my lord should continue this kind of talent. This is the kind of talent I think the Lord should continue to have him in office.”

In fact, he did not have to say this, originally Liu Bei saw Chen Deng's ability to make Liu Bei very much admire, history Liu Bei said “like Chen Deng such as civil and military enough to prepare, the courage and ambition of the talents, can only be sought in ancient times. Nowadays, I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to compare to him.” Such words, you can imagine Liu Bei's respect for him. He, Liu Xian, was afraid that the first battle of Xiapi (Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province) would alienate Chen Deng's heart if he joined forces with Lu Bu and didn't help Zhang Fei, so he still kindly reminded him.

“Lastly, I would like to recommend one more person.”

Liu Bei was listening with great interest when he suddenly heard Liu Xian's recommendation and was surprised, is it possible that he still has an expert under his hand?

Liu Xian continued:

“It is Chen Qun from Biejia (deputy provincial) of Yuzhou (today's Henan) before Lord Gong.”

Liu Bei suddenly realized that he did have such a person, and he also advised himself not to fight Yuan Shu before or he would be attacked by Lu Bu secretly, at that time he didn't listen, now he thinks that this person must have some skills.

Liu Bei nodded his head after listening:

“After hearing what the consigliere said today, I am greatly shocked, tomorrow I will act according to what the consigliere said.”

Said then want to take Jian Yong left to Liu Xian just words recorded, afraid that they forget.

Liu Xian hastened to stop:

“Lord don't rush to go, stay with me to eat first.”
