Zhang Song's death completely destroyed the hope of Liu Huangshu, sweeping away the hope of the whole country, directly approaching the dead end of Liu Huangshu, which was difficult to break through, and also made Liu Huangshu, who was wandering around the world, no longer have a target for fraud, and no longer find a surrender to contain him.

Yes, under the current circumstances, it is no longer a problem for Uncle Liu to take control of the Hanzhong Grain Store, which was cheated by Meng Meng, to gain a foothold. At the same time, Hanzhong is indeed a good place. Uncle Liu's self-proclaimed ancestor, Liu Bang, was the family of the Hanzhong Grain Store, who used Hanzhong as the back direction to expand the Central Plains and eventually defeated Xiang Yu to take over the whole world! However, Uncle Liu wanted to go further and further, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Because now is different from the past, Liu Bang was able to make a fortune in Hanzhong because of the feudal world and the princes were in a mess. Although Xiang Yu, the most powerful enemy, was a military genius, he was even more of a political idiot, a power-minded idiot, and he won every battle but was killed by Liu Bang using political means. He died of sinister and despicable shameless schemes. He committed suicide in Wujiang in a confused manner, but he didn't understand how he lost until his death.

The political power and insidiousness of Liu Huangshu are definitely not inferior to Liu Bang. He can also be said to be able to compete with Liu Bang in terms of knowing people and being good at responsibilities. Unfortunately, the main enemy of Liu Huangshu is more sinister and cunning, more proficient in power and being good at scheming and being good at scheming. Not to mention the deputy director Tao, who has won the second place in the world, just a boss Cao who holds the broken land in Guanzhong, can make Uncle Liu Huangshu have no hope of turning over in his life.

It is precisely because of the existence of a traitor in Guanzhong that Emperor Liu completely lost hope of expansion and was unable to fight against Prince Cao. To the west is Liangzhou, which is vast and sparsely populated and has strong cavalry. On the east is the rugged and difficult to move, and it is difficult to use a large army. Not only is the opponent Liu Biao, who has a lot of troops and enough food, but the most dangerous and terrifying Deputy Director Tao Hushi Dandan. On the south is relatively best to fight and the most hopeful to win, but after Zhang Song exposed the plan and ambition to occupy Xichuan, it is not so easy to fight in the south. Even if Liu Zhang is not an opponent of Uncle Liu, as long as he guards the natural barrier of Shu Road, Uncle Liu will not be able to touch the edge of Chengdu without two or three years!

In this way, no matter whether it is expanding in the east and south directions, Cao, who had been coveting Hanzhong for several years, would definitely take advantage of the situation and attack Liu Huangshu's lair with all his might, so that Uncle Liu could be killed without a burial place! In such a situation where strong enemies are surrounded by powerful enemies, if Uncle Liu could go further and further expand his territory and strength. In turn, he would overwhelm his mortal enemy Deputy Director Tao, then Uncle Liu's ancestors could not be called Liu Bang, he would be called a god.

The unfavorable situation is put here. So when he heard the news that Zhang Song was killed and was killed, the Emperor Liu, who had just defeated Zhang Lu to counterattack and took down Xicheng, sat on the spot in the hall of Xicheng County Government that he had just stolen. He couldn't say a word for a long time. The resourceful military advisor Pang Tong also had a blue face. It took him a long time to put in a sentence, "It is difficult to enter the West River as if it is as high as the sky."

After learning that Zhang Song was killed and killed, Boss Cao immediately slapped the table and cursed, "The Tao Ying traitor who killed the gods! He was helping Liu Zhang when he did this, and he was helping him! He clearly wanted me and the big-eared thief to lock the chain knot so that neither I nor the big-eared thief could take Xichuan. He could take the opportunity to rest and prepare for the battle, and then slapped me and the big-eared thief to death. He went to get Xichuan again! The despicable thief, he had enough meat, and he didn't even want us to drink soup! I took the wrong medicine under the city of Xuzhou back then, how could he put this thief with a thicker face than the city wall?!"

No matter how much regret and hatred it was useless. Taking advantage of the time when Boss Cao and Liu Huangshu and his rivals were restrained by each other, the Xuzhou army had already completely stood firm in Jiyou and other places. The side army Hou Cheng also used force and surrender to seize the remaining three small counties in Bingzhou and officially unified the three prefectures of Jiyou and Bingzhou. In May of the tenth year of Jian'an, Deputy Director Tao led the main force of the Xuzhou army to return to the court and returned to Xuchang City.

At this point, the Xuzhou army had directly controlled the seven prefectures of Ji, You, Qing, Xu, Yan and Yu, occupied most of Yangzhou and some of the land of Sili and Jingzhou, and had more than 550,000 soldiers with armor. They were vast in area and strong in power. The strength had reached several times the total strength of the rest of the princes in the world. It was only a matter of time and method to unify the world. The heroes of the princes who had not yet been eliminated were all expelled to the west of Songshan Mountain and south of the Han River. They were storming in the face of the threat of Xuzhou army, and they had no power to fight back. It was only a matter of time and sequence of destruction.

For Deputy Director Tao, there is naturally no need to worry about time, because among the princes in the world, the youngest leader was Deputy Director Tao, and he was strong and had no headaches or fever. In the past ten years, he even had a few colds and coughs. As long as Deputy Director Tao restrained women, he could use time to kill the enemy boss. So for Deputy Director Tao, how to unify the world, there is actually only the problem of how to eliminate the remaining princes in turn.

Deputy Director Tao is a cautious and good public servant. He knows that the nail house should not be careless in one day if he doesn't get out of the demolition house for a day. He has seen his colleagues fall under the nail house when demolishing the last room. There are lessons to learn and experience to be expected. So even at the last moment, Deputy Director Tao still kept his calm mind and did not decide to rely on his strong troops to fight. Instead, he summoned several trusted advisers to seek their opinions on the next step. It depends on whether they think it is better to demolish the broken house of Cao first, or to dig the walls of Liu Biao's family first? Or to settle for the second best, while resting and resting and cultivating food, he also invested some of his efforts to kill the last few small nail houses in Jiangnan.

The reason why everyone was not called to discuss the next strategy was because the Xuzhou army had spent all the money and grain saved for many years in the war in the north. Even if the winter wheat had been harvested this year, it was difficult to ensure that it would launch a large-scale war again and there was no shortage of food and grass. Therefore, Deputy Director Tao took the time to ask the opinions of several strategists during other official duties. As a result, Deputy Director Tao was quite surprised that the opinions of several strategists were not consistent.

Xun Chen, who was very wary at heart, suggested that Deputy Director Tao send troops to attack various parts of Guanzhong as soon as possible. Kill the last remnants of Cao Boss. The reason was that Cao Boss was a treacherous hero. If he was given too much respite, he might make a comeback. Therefore, he should seize the opportunity of Cao's army being surrounded by enemies on all sides and eliminate the most dangerous opponent Cao Boss as soon as possible. The Xuzhou Army is responsible for monitoring Liu Huangshu, who is entrenched in Hanzhong, and can also prevent Cao and Liu Huangshu from joining forces to resist the Xuzhou army. In this regard, although Deputy Director Tao also admitted that Cao Boss was the most dangerous enemy, he did not believe that Cao Boss was really joining forces with Liu Huangshu because of the prophets of history.

The answer given by Liu Ye is to rest for two years. He divided some forces to completely wipe out the entire Jiangdong territory, relieve the worries of the Jiangdong Legion, and also took the opportunity to digest the newly occupied land, and then considered sending troops to eliminate the remaining enemies. The reason was that the Xuzhou army expanded too quickly. The control of the newly occupied land was somewhat insufficient. All forces could not be turned into a rope, posing an effective threat to the enemy. In this regard, Deputy Director Tao also agreed with Liu Ye's opinion that it was not appropriate to launch a large-scale war immediately. However, he still felt that Liu Ye's strategic plan was a bit conservative, but Deputy Director Tao himself could not say what was conservative.

Jia Lao Poison's strategic opinion is most in line with Deputy Director Tao's appetite. Jia Lao Poison also believes that the primary goal of the Xuzhou army should be to recuperate and hoard grain to prepare for war. Then it is recommended to dispatch two partial divisions, one partial division sweeps away the remaining enemies in Jiangdong, and relieve the worries of the Lusu Corps. A partial division goes west to Sili and Hanoi, takes over the city land west of Hanoi and Tongguan, builds a buffer zone with Cao's army to ensure the safety of Xuchang, and also removes Cao's largest source of military expenditure, Yuncheng Yanchi, so that Cao's largest source of military expenditure, cannot grow and grow. He obediently guards Liu Huangshu, Ma Teng and Han Sui for the Xuzhou army.

If it weren't for Yi's firm opposition, Deputy Director Tao would have adopted Jia Lao's poisonous drug strategic advice, but Yi pointed out: "You must not attack Hanoi and Hongnong and other places. If you send troops to seize these places, Cao Mengde must fight with us immediately! Because according to the information collected by our army, the money and grain produced by Hanoi and Hongnong second land has accounted for more than 70% of Cao's money and grain income. If our army attacks these two places, Cao Mengde will definitely fight us to the end. At that time, not only will the scale of the war be very huge, but the traitors trapped in Hanzhong will be spared! "

After reading the information about Cao's army's money and grain compiled by Yi, Deputy Director Tao secretly sympathized with his current father-in-law, and immediately agreed with him, because for Cao, who was in Pingyang, Hongnong and Hanoi were indeed too important. If these two counties were lost again, Cao would not even have the strength to restrain Liu Huangshu and resist the Xiliang coalition. Although Hongnong and Hanoi were far from catching up with the prosperous scene that was tossed by Boss Dong, for Cao's army, which was severely damaged, it was already the largest source of money and grain at present.

After hearing Shi Yi's opposition, he rejected Jia Lao Poison's proposal that he was very appetizing. Deputy Director Tao naturally had to ask Shi Yi for advice on future strategies. However, the longest strategic vision in Xuzhou's army was Yi, and the answer given by Deputy Director Tao was completely surprised - Shi Yi suggested: "Get Jingzhou! Don't pay attention to the western part of Sili, nor do you have to pay attention to the small bandits and powerful households in the southeast of the Yangtze River, and take over the Jingzhou counties with all your might! At least the Jingzhou counties north of the Yangtze River!"

"Mr. Ziyu, you're not joking?" Deputy Director Tao was a little surprised and said, "Among the enemies around us, the one with the most money and food and the most military forces is Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Liu Biao's old nest, Xiangyang, has Han River to defend. If you pick Liu Biao first, it will easily become a war of attrition that is very unfavorable to our army?"

"My lord, please rest assured. Yi believes that the Jingzhou War will never be a war of attrition. On the contrary, there is a high possibility of a quick battle and a quick victory to seize the money and food that Liu Biao saved for us." Yi replied confidently.

"Please give me a try." Deputy Director Tao put down the official document in his hand and sat down and listened.

"Yi believes that if our army attacks Jingzhou, three will win." Yi Yi replied with a righteous expression: "One must win, our military advisor will be famous, and the enemy will be misleading. At the end of the eighth year of Jian'an, Liu Biao suddenly tore up the peace agreement and sent his son Liu Qi to attack the navy of Chaisang City and Poyang Lake controlled by our army. Although his purpose was not successful, his crimes did not cost him. He also detained his lord, your wife and brother Yuan Mai, in Xiangyang, and he refused to return it. Our army sent troops to Jingzhou to avenge revenge, must be because of high morale and cheerful army, but the Jingzhou army suffered its own deeds and soldiers were disloyal. Our army attacked evil with righteousness and attacked Wudao with great righteousness. How could we win without the army's success?"

"Two must win. Our army is united and the enemy is divided! Lord, you are wise and powerful. You are in charge of military affairs and government affairs. The orders are like arm and fingers. Liu Biao's control of Jingzhou is entirely supported by the powerful clans. The use of troops and policies is called Liu Biao's order, but in fact it is an exchange of interests within the internal exchange of interests. The army is not in a unified manner. Cai Mao, Huang Zu and Kuai Yue are in power in the state. They are intrigue and fight for power and profit, and there are many conflicts. The conflicts of interest are never stopped! Our army is dispersed with one another. The top and the bottom can cut off the gold. There are constant internal disputes between the enemy. How can our army not win? How can the enemy not defeat?!"

"Three must win. The geographical advantage is also in the hands of our army!" Yi's third argument is even more amazing. He said: "Jingzhou's money and grain are mostly stored in Xiangyang, Jiangling and Jiangxia on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The land with a large population, money and grain are almost all north of the Yangtze River. Although our army was blocked by the Han River to the south, the Han River was far less than the Yangtze River, and the navy could not get a decisive role. Moreover, our army seized a large number of Jingzhou warships after the Chaisang Victory, and the number of ships had exceeded that of the Jingzhou Navy. It was easy to handle our army's crossing the Han River. As long as our army obtains the land of Jingzhou north of the Yangtze River, even if Liu Biao refuses to surrender and fles to the south of the Yangtze River, he will no longer have the power to threaten us Xuchang and Jiangdong, and there is nothing to worry about."

After hearing these to the point-of-mind analysis of Shi Yi, Deputy Director Tao inevitably began to be moved. He Yi, who is good at strategy, pointed out: "Lord, our army will take over the land of Jingzhou south of the Yangtze River. There will be three benefits. The first benefit is to obtain Jingzhou's money and grain for the western expedition. The second benefit is to liberate our Jiangdong army so that the team of the governor of Lu can be worry-free and show their strength. The third benefit is to beware of changes in Yizhou. If one of Cao Cao or Liu Bei suddenly attacks Xichuan, our army can immediately go up the river, or directly attack Chengdu to take down Xichuan first, or reinforce Liu Zhang, so that it will not be destroyed by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and will not give Cao Cao and Liu Bei the two traitors to occupy the opportunity to protect themselves in Xichuan!"

"Since these three benefits and these three victory, it's decided!" Deputy Director Tao punched the table in front of him with a heavy punch and said viciously: "Send troops to deal with Liu Biao as soon as possible, grab his wealth and wealth center, and then consider sending troops westward!"

Shi Yi is good at strategy and conspiracy, and is short of deceit. Although his shortcomings and advantages are equally prominent, it also makes up for the biggest shortcomings of the Xuzhou decision-making level, which is full of bad seeds. That night, Deputy Director Tao held a meeting in the Taiwei Mansion and convened important civil and military officials to discuss the plan of the southern expedition. As a result, the generals of Xuzhou really applauded and rushed to fight to fight south to avenge. After Jia Lao Poison, Liu Ye, Yang Changshi and others heard Shi Yi's analysis was reasonable, they immediately agreed to the southern expedition to Jingzhou. Then they quickly started to move their bad waters to figure out how to quickly take down the land of Jingzhou north of the Yangtze River.

The result of the discussion was that the troops were divided into two groups to attack Jingzhou. The main force of the infantry and cavalry went south from Xuchang to attack Xinye and Xiangyang and other places. The navy went up the river from Jiangdong to attack Wuchang and Xiakou, which made it difficult for the Jingzhou army to take care of the front and tail. This was also the strategy of advance that Deputy Director Tao had been thinking about for a long time, so it was immediately approved. When discussing when to send troops, Jia Lao Poison suggested: "Lord, Xu believes that our army should prepare for war quickly, and send envoys to Xiangyang to negotiate, asking Liu Biao to return Yuan Mai immediately and send his son Liu Qi to Xuchang to become an official. When Liu Biao refused to obey, we would send troops to attack Jingzhou again, and face smaller resistance."

"Why can the enemy's resistance be less powerful?"

Deputy Director Tao did not react in a hurry. As a result, Yang Changshi, who rarely speaks in military and political decisions, first responded, applauded and laughed, "A clever plan! Brother Wen and his brother are indeed a clever plan! Let Liu Biao hand over my unworthy disciple as a hostage. Liu Biao and the Kuai brothers will definitely not agree. The Cai brothers and sisters and Huang Grandpa and his son will definitely be very happy! At that time, in order to get rid of Liu Qi, the old Cai family and the old Huang family will definitely not fight hard, and try every means to force Liu Biao to hand over Liu Qi and move out the stumbling blocks of Liu Cong's succession. The resistance we encounter will be reduced, which can deepen the conflicts within Jingzhou. If you have the opportunity to bribe and surrender Huang Zu, Cai Mao and other important generals in Jingzhou will beat multiple hits in one fell swoop, and it is indeed a clever plan!"

Deputy Director Tao, Jia Lao Poison and Xuzhou Wenwu, who were present, all the people with Xuzhou, looked at Yang Changshi as if they didn't know each other. At first, Yang Changshi thought there was something wrong with his clothes. After carefully checking that there was no abnormality, Yang Changshi couldn't help but feel guilty and asked timidly: "Lord, Mr. Wenhe, you guys, are I wrong?"

"I'm not wrong, I just feel a little strange." Deputy Director Tao said a little strangely: "Mr. Zhongming, why are you right this time? I'm not as quick as you analyze it."

"Yes." Jia Lao Poison asked with confusion, "Brother Zhongming, why didn't you mention that you had conquered someone's house after capturing Jingzhou? Isn't this like your usual person?"

"This..." Yang Changshi was a little stunned when asked, and after a while, he said very stingy: "Brother Wenhe, don't be surprised. As a father, you can't always drag your son down, right?"

Everyone laughed together, and finally remembered that since Yang Changshi's precious son showed his strength, Yang Changshi has indeed taken the initiative to restrain himself in corruption and bribery. At least, Cao Zhong, the Xuchang guest whom he controlled, no longer heard rumors of buying and selling official positions. Deputy Director Tao also laughed silently and ordered Yang Changshi: "Mr. Zhongming, please send your eldest son a letter. This time he accompanied Zijing to attack Jiangxia and let him sell more. As long as he can kill the main force of Jiangxia, Wenpin, I will naturally give you an explanation to your father and son."

"Thank you, lord." Yang Changshi happily agreed, and quickly volunteered: "Lord, please still take your ministers to the south this time. If you don't go to search the house, you will contact people like Huang Zu and Cai Mao for you. They are old friends with their ministers, and they will be able to contact you easily. At that time, they will definitely be able to contribute to the master."

"Mr. Zhongming has indeed changed his nature." Deputy Director Tao laughed again and nodded again and said, "Okay, let's go together. I also believe that you will definitely play a role by then. If you do a good job, I will send you to take charge when the house is raided in Xiangyang."
Chapter completed!
