Xiaoqi

Right now, the sad and tearful people in the big tent gradually stopped crying after hearing Li Xuan's words, and became stronger.

This person is Li Li's bedside person tonight, the head of the Zhen family, the Zhen family, also known as Zhang Ai.

Ma Yunluo was the person who accompanied Zhen Shi to comfort her before, but unfortunately this comfort was ineffective, perhaps only Li Li, who was sitting in the handsome seat, got up to comfort her, could it work.

However, in this kind of occasion where the handsome account is discussing matters, it is impossible for Li Li to leave everyone aside and just comfort Zhen Shi.If Li Li really did this, although everyone in the hall could understand it and think it was reasonable, they might not accept it.Because this is the account of the commander of the Chinese army, and he is discussing military and political affairs at this time, and Li Li, as the commander of the army, is also the lord of Xiliang. If he comes out, it will definitely chill the hearts of the entire army.

Therefore, Li Lian sat in the handsome position and never left. He saw Zhen's sad and tearful scene, but his face was still calm, so that everyone in the hall could not see any emotional fluctuations.

Fortunately, Li Xuan has followed Li Li for many years, and knows very well about his protagonist's temperament and expression changes.He knew that the calmer the lord Li Li's expression was, the more restless the lord was. He seemed to be indifferent to Zhen Shi, but in fact he was very compassionate.

It was precisely because he could see what was in Li Li's heart that Li Xuan would severely reprimand Yuan Shao.To comfort the Zhen family who shed tears because of the tragic death of the Zhen family servant.

The master has something to do, and the subordinates do their best to share the master's worries.

In this regard, Li Xuan has always done a good job, impeccable.It is also because of this that he has always been Li Li's most trusted and trusted official, and has repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks. Now he is the number one official under Li Li's command, as if one person is below ten thousand.

And Li Xuan has never let Li Li down, and strictly abides by the way of being a minister.He is resourceful, has a strategy in mind, is dedicated to his duties, is extremely skilled in government affairs, and handles Xiliang's government affairs in an orderly manner.Since he was in charge of the Xiliang treasury.The accounts of all counties and counties are clear at a glance, and the treasury is more than enough every year.It is becoming more and more abundant; armaments and weapons are becoming more and more abundant.And organize craftsmen to improve a large number of bows and crossbows, and reserve large-scale siege ordnance.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Xuan is already Li Li's number one politically capable minister, and at the same time a mastermind, proficient in military affairs.In terms of government affairs ability alone, even Jia Xu was full of praise for Li Xuan.Humbled.Therefore, for a long time, Li Li personally took charge of the army and took charge of the conquest war.And Li Xuan will be in charge of the government affairs and logistics under the rule.In other words, Li Li was in charge of the army, and Li Xuan was in charge of the government, and he was in charge of military equipment, money and food for Li Li.

When Li Li traveled to the Central Plains this time, Li Xuan was not arranged to follow him at first, because Li Xuan was busy with government affairs and had no time to leave.But right now, with Li Ru temporarily supporting him, he was able to get out and go to Jizhou with Li Li.

However, judging from the abnormal behavior of Yuan Shao in Jizhou this time, the situation in Xiliang will enter a state of pre-war preparations, ready to deal with unexpected wars at any time.At this moment, Li Xuan naturally couldn't continue to follow Li Li, and had to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation and actively prepare for the battle.If he doesn't go back, then Li Li will immediately end his tour and return to Yongliang to sit in town.Anyway, one of the two of them must return to Xiliang, otherwise, in the event of a sudden war, people in Xiliang would be uneasy, and it would be very easy to cause turmoil, especially in Chang'an City where Li Xuan was in charge.

Compared with Li Xuan, Li Ru's military and political ability is also very good, but his overall view is slightly poor, especially his ability to deal with sudden turmoil has repeatedly made mistakes.During Dong Zhuo's previous incidents, he handled them unsatisfactorily, lacking the courage to make a decisive decision, as if he was used to obeying orders, and would be at a loss when encountering emergencies.On this point, Li Xuanyuan is stronger than Li Ru, and the person who is best at handling such things is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.Therefore, as long as the three of them stay in Xiliang territory and work together, Li Li has no worries at all; even if there is an unexpected war, they can handle it well.

"Cough!" Seeing that Mrs. Zhen stopped her tears and her expression gradually calmed down, Li Li coughed lightly, and his eyes indicated that Li Xuan was ready to get down to business.

Sure enough, Li Xuan's eyes were bright, and after a short pause, he said with a solemn expression: "Looking at the states in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao in Jizhou is undoubtedly the most powerful prince at the moment, with more than [-] soldiers, civil servants and generals gathered, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger. It shows the momentum of devouring Youzhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou, and it also extends its tentacles to our Sili Hanoi County. It can be described as ambitious and swallowing mountains and rivers!

This time, the lord sneaked into Jizhou, not only traveling to Jizhou and Youzhou, but also thanks to the help of the Zhen family consortium.Now that I am waiting for my safe return, it will be a big victory, and this trip is worthwhile.

Now that Yuan Shao has taken such a brutal and fierce action, it is obviously a demonstration to us, and even a provocation to the lord, but what he can do at this time is limited to this.Perhaps Yuan Shao was not worried that our Xiliang army would send troops to the Central Plains before, because he was sure that we were short of food and grass and could not go on an expedition. Therefore, with hundreds of thousands of troops, we could only defend a corner of Xiliang, and could not get involved in the war in the Central Plains.But now he must not think so.

Because he is a family friend of the Yuan family and the Zhen family, he knows the details of the Zhen family consortium, and knows that the Zhen family is the most wealthy in the world, and the amount of money and food is enough to support our Xiliang army in a big battle.And if our Xiliang army really gets the full support of the Zhen family, we can gather no less than 20 main troops to send troops to the Central Plains within one month, and capture one or several counties in the Central Plains within half a year.

If this is the case, all the princes in the Central Plains may be defeated by our army one by one, including Yuan Shao in Jizhou.Don't look at him pretending to ignore our Xiliang army. When he really fought our army head-on, his army of more than [-] troops under Yuan Shao's command could not withstand the impact of our army's [-] cavalry, so he dare not fight now. In an open war with the Lord, you can only kill a few civilians to vent your anger, that's all.

However, Yuan Shao has already learned that the Zhen family consortium is attached to the lord, and let the lord leave the territory of Jizhou calmly.Presumably he will never let it go, and will definitely try to deal with us.

Therefore, from now on, the Anyi camp must be ready for a big battle at any time, and the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi are on alert, always on guard against Yuan Shao in Jizhou's sudden attack and a large-scale march into the counties of Sili.At the same time, I then returned to Chang'an to allocate three months of food and grass for you to prepare for the war.In addition, I will send a large number of arrows and siege and defense ordnance to Anyi Daying and Hangu Pass.Respond to any unexpected war at any time.What the subordinates said, I don't know what the Lord wants? "

"Yuan Zhong is thoughtful, prepared, and reasonable." Li Lixin nodded and said.

Before Li Li finished speaking, Guo Jia stood up suddenly.Then he said: "What Shang Shuling said is true, but my subordinates think that it is not enough for the Anyi camp to be on alert!"

"Hmm. What good strategy does Fengxiao have. But it's okay to talk about it." Li Li showed a smile on his face, and raised his hand to signal Guo Jia to explain in detail.

This is the first time Guo Jia has participated in the Xiliang Army's discussions, and it is also the first time he has offered his words and suggestions in front of the generals since he was loyal to Li Li.Therefore, this discussion is very important to him, and it will directly determine whether he can secure his position as the right army division and whether he can be recognized by the generals in the army.Besides, Li Li treated him so courteously.When they first met, they promised him such a high position. If he could not come up with convincing strategies and insights, not only would he be embarrassed, but even Li Li would be regarded as ignorant because of this.Prestige is damaged.

After getting Li Li's approval, Guo Jia sorted out his thoughts a little bit, and said calmly: "Yuan Shao is very worried that the Zhen family will fully support the lord, so that our army will have the food and grass supply for a big battle, and we can send troops to the Central Plains on a large scale. In fact Well, his worries are completely unfounded, mediocre, and unrealistic.

It is true that the Zhen family consortium will naturally support the lord, just like the wife generously donated money to support the Wuwei camp a few days ago.However, the Zhen family is a big family with more than 2000 people after all, even if there are billions of dollars in wealth, it is impossible to use all of it to support the lord in the war; unless my Xiliang army is at the end of its rope, otherwise, this matter will not happen.Even if the Zhen family members are willing, the lord will not agree to do this, because killing the chicken to get the eggs and catching fish is by no means a long-term and perfect strategy. "

Having said that, Guo Jia turned around and bowed to Mrs. Zhen: "Ma'am, don't get me wrong. This subordinate is just discussing the matter as it stands, without the slightest intention of contempt. I hope Madam will forgive me for any inappropriate words."

"Feng Xiao's words are serious. I am not an unreasonable person, Feng Xiao doesn't have to worry about it, it doesn't matter to be frank." Zhen said softly with her usual expression.

"Madam Gao Yi, I admire you." Guo Jia bowed to Mrs. Zhen, turned to face Li Li and the other generals, and continued: "It's not that Yuan Shao doesn't know the truth, but that he is too afraid of the lord, and subconsciously He regards the lord as the greatest enemy in his life. That's why he thinks that after the lord gets the support of the Zhen family consortium, the pressure on food and grass will be greatly relieved, and he will be able to send troops to the Central Plains to compete with Yuan Shao for the states in the Central Plains.

Based on the understanding of Yuan Shao by his subordinates, he never fought a battle that he was not sure of, nor did he fight a battle that he did not have an advantage in, and he would not bite the bullet and fight when he knew he was invincible.Looking at all of Yuan Shao's past battles, almost every time he used the more to bully the less, occupying an absolute superiority of troops; even so, he won and lost.

Because of this, since he occupied Jizhou for more than three years, he fought Gongsun Zan many times, but he was still unable to win;Therefore, in the past three years, he has hardly expanded his territory, and his strength is still limited to the territory of Jizhou, without making any achievements.However, in the past three years, he has been recruiting soldiers all the time, so the number of troops under his command is increasing day by day, and there are more and more civil servants and generals, and his strength is still growing.

In addition, among the princes of the towns in the Central Plains, there are actually factional alliances.Since the alliance of princes defeated Dong Zhuo, the princes of the Central Plains were divided into two factions, one was the alliance of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and the other was the alliance of Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian and Sun Jian.For three years, the two alliances fought against each other, each winning or losing; Gongsun Zan attacked Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian harassed Cao Cao in Yanzhou.

However, the most aggressive prince in the alliance of Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian was Changsha Sun Jian. Unfortunately, Sun Jian was ambushed by Liu Biao's men two years ago and died young.Last year, the alliance of Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zan once again joined forces to attack the Yuan-Cao alliance, and Yuan Shu joined forces with the Black Mountain bandit Sui Gu and other bandits to try to capture Yanzhou, but was defeated by Cao Cao one after another.After this battle, the alliance of Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, and Tao Qian was completely at a disadvantage, and the alliance was on the verge of disintegration, while the Yuan-Cao alliance faintly became the overlord of the Central Plains.

Now Yuan Shao is the enemy of the lord. Judging from his previous fighting habits, it is difficult for him to fight against the lord with the strength of his Jizhou army alone. Therefore, he will definitely join forces with the princes of the towns in the Central Plains to march into the Sili.Judging from the current situation in the Central Plains, Xuzhou Tao Qian is too busy to take care of himself, so he will definitely not send troops; Nanyang Yuan Shu's strength has weakened since his attack on Yanzhou failed, and now he has retreated to Yangzhou, so he will not send troops; Will send troops to help him.

In this way, Yuan Shao is very likely to join forces with Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao of Chenliu, Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Bandit, and even invite Liu Biao of Jingzhou to send troops to attack Sili together. "

After thoroughly analyzing the situation in the Central Plains in one breath, Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "In the face of this situation, my lord can secretly order Pingnan General Xu Rong to guard the south bank of the Yellow River strictly, and beware of Yanzhou Cao Cao, Chen Liu and Zhang Miao entering Henan County; The Anyi camp is facing the most severe attack. It should shrink its troops in Hedong County and strictly order Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang to guard against Yuan Shao's attack. In addition, Hangu Pass is the most important pass in our pass. We must not relax at any time. Tongguan Camp We must also strengthen our defenses to prevent the Huns from going south in Bingzhou to harass us. In this way, no matter when the Yuan Shao alliance army attacks our city from where, our Xiliang army will be unafraid and deal with it freely. This is my humble opinion , please decide, my lord!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, there was no sound in the handsome tent for a long time. Even Li Li, who was sitting upright in the handsome position, bowed his head in thought, and did not immediately respond to Guo Jia's request.

In fact, Li Li knew that there was an alliance of interests among the princes in the towns of the Central Plains. For example, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had been in close contact and formed the Yuan-Cao Alliance, and Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan secretly formed an alliance to deal with the Yuan-Cao Alliance.What he didn't expect was that Tao Qian, a good old man, was also a member of Yuan Shu's alliance, and he took the opportunity to sneak attack Cao Cao. No wonder Cao Cao now sent troops to attack Xuzhou in the name of avenging his father, as if posing an immortal Tao Qian oath Unstoppable momentum.

There is no need to ask for a monthly ticket for a single chapter. My family knows my own affairs, so it is useless to ask, so save it.

April is over, Zhonglang wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, and say a few words from the heart.

First of all, thanks to fgdfgewrewr book friends for their monthly support!In the past few months, my dear brother has voted for Xiaoqi all the monthly tickets, Zhong Lang always remembers, thank you very much!

Secondly, the progress of the plot has been a little slow recently, so that it is a bit tiring to read, neither fast nor slow, neither salty nor bland.Zhong Lang is here to tell the truth. There are three reasons for this.First, Zhong Lang has been introspecting and self-examining the deficiencies. He feels that many of the previous content can actually be written better, but it always feels a bit floating, ungrounded, and even hanging in the air. The emotional line is not enough. exquisite.Second, several chapters have been blocked this month, which is unappetizing and has caused inconvenience to you. Zhonglang is deeply sorry.Third, reproduce a familiar history. There are already many beautiful jades in front, leaving little room for Xiaoqi to play. This requires Xiaoqi to dig deep into some plots hidden behind major events, and to tell them in detail, with the intention of becoming more immersive. powerful.

Finally, it is very difficult for Zhong Lang to have a monthly update of more than 30 words. He racked his brains and worked hard, and his mind is full of Xiaoqi every day, striving to complete the whole story in one go.I don’t know how my dear friend feels, but if you can clearly recall the entire context of this story, it means that Zhong Lang’s efforts were not in vain.

At the end, Xiaoqi would like to thank you for your attention and support, thank you!

Chapter 474

But there is one thing Li Li can be sure of, that is, Tao Qian's alliance with Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan must be often stealing, cheating, and not working hard.Therefore, both Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan fought several battles with the Yuan Cao Alliance, and their soldiers and horses suffered losses. Only Tao Qian's soldiers and horses suffered little losses, and Xuzhou was not affected too much.

Seeing that the alliance was about to collapse, he wanted to befriend Cao Cao and flatter Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, but in the end he killed Cao Song and attracted Cao Cao's army.

From November last year till now, Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou twice, successively captured most of the counties and counties in Xuzhou, and as a result, the rich land of Xuzhou, which Tao Qian worked hard for many years, was destroyed. Several counties and counties were slaughtered by Cao Cao's army. .

What a "miserable" word!

"My lord, the general thinks what the military adviser said is reasonable." Just when Li Li thought of Xuzhou Tao Qian, Teng Xiao suddenly said: "At present, our army does not have the conditions to send troops on a large scale. To attack the Central Plains by supplying a large army. Therefore, the strategy of the military division is very comprehensive. Based on the principle of being careful and making no big mistakes, General Xu Rong's troops and the last general should strengthen their guard here, and the defense lines of Hangu Pass and Tongguan should also be ready for battle at any time. Be safe."

"Hehehe!" Li Lixin smiled, nodded and said, "What Feng Xiao said is actually a mature policy for the country, and I should adopt it. However, I still have some doubts. According to Feng Xiao, when will Yuan Shao choose to treat me?" Sili mobilizes troops?"

"Huh?" Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then said with certainty: "July at the earliest, and September at the latest, Yuan Shao will definitely join forces with the princes of the Central Plains to march into the Sili!"

"In this case, at least three months later." Li Li nodded thinkingly.

Immediately, he got up and ordered: "He ordered Bocai and Xu Rong to strengthen vigilance and train soldiers from now on. Prepare ordnance and actively prepare for battle. Order Gao Shun's troops to return to Hangu Pass within one month, and Wuwei Battalion to shrink its troops. Arrived in Hedong County, ready to fight at any time. The generals listened to the order, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, and He Man temporarily returned to Li Xuan's dispatch, and Duan Wei led the personal guards to escort Li Xuan, Yunluo, Zhen's family and the Zhen family caravan back Chang'an, return to Huben camp after half a month's rest!

In addition, starting from this month, the counties and counties in Sili will pay taxes once a month, and the money and food in the treasuries of the counties and counties will be temporarily expropriated.Distribute it to the defenders of Anyi, Xingyang, and Hangu Pass as soon as possible! "

"Promise, the last general (subordinate) obeys orders!" All the civil and military officers in the handsome tent stood up and came out, respectfully responding.

"Well, the discussion is over, it's late at night. Everyone, go and rest." Li Li nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal the crowd to disperse.

After everyone left the handsome tent one after another.He walked up to Teng Xiao.He whispered: "Hanoi County don't care about it for the time being, let it go, it is not appropriate to force it too much at the moment, lest Zhang Yang will jump over the wall in a hurry and completely invest in Yuan Shao."
