Chapter 28 Foreshadowing
Liu Ye listened to Liu Xun's narration and analysis very seriously, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. After all, Liu Ye had lived in Jiangdong for a long time, so he naturally knew about Liu Xun.
Now that Liu Xun had finished speaking, Liu Ye felt that this was too different from the rumored gossip. Although he was very confused, Liu Ye did not show it and said seriously: "I don't know if the master wants to settle down or live alone."
To dominate the world, or to be inferior to others?"
When Liu Xun heard this, he said firmly: "Everyone must take the world as his own responsibility in his life. Naturally, a man would think that he would not be willing to live alone in the Central Plains."
When Liu Ye heard this, he was immediately shocked. It seemed that the rumors were not credible. What he had heard before was that "Liu Xun is a villain who regards wealth as his life and has no ambitions." But when he saw Liu Xun in front of him today, he was so shocked that
No matter how you look at him, you can't cover up his arrogance. How can he be a villain with no ambitions if he is so powerful?
Obviously Liu Ye had been prepared for this problem before he came. Liu Ye said without thinking, "My lord, now that the world has become a general trend, Yuan Shao has strong power in occupying the four continents of Hebei, and we cannot shake it at all.
In the Central Plains, Cao Cao now occupies Xuzhou, Yunzhou, Yuzhou, Luoyang, and Chang'an. His strength cannot be underestimated. He is second only to Yuan Shao. This man is not something we can shake. If the lord wants to gain the world, he must first seize Jiangdong and attack Sun Ce.
, with Jiangdong as the foundation, annex Jingzhou Liu Biao and Yizhou Liu Zhang. When the world changes, we will send troops to the Central Plains to conquer the world."
Liu Xun nodded and said: "What Ziyang said is reasonable. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Ziyang and I have the same view. But at present, my strength is still too weak, and I hope Ziyang can help me."
"My lord, there is no need to be like this. If you have any orders, just tell me. Ziyang will do his best." Liu Ye said solemnly.
Liu Xun solemnly said, "In this case, I won't pretend to be a loser anymore. I want to capture Shouchun, an unowned land, but I am afraid that I will make too much noise and attract others' attention. The most important thing is that Shouchun is too close to Cao Cao's territory.
If Shouchun is captured plus Lujiang County, as well as the close relationship with Yuan Shu, it will easily touch Cao Cao's sensitive nerves."
"Zi Yang, think about it. If I really go to capture Shouchun, Cao Mengde will definitely send troops to stop me from annexing Shouchun. But if it were you, Cao Cao might not care and even come to win you over.
So I want you to take the eight thousand brothers you brought with you to take the opportunity to capture Shouchun. Even if you really capture Shouchun, Cao Cao will definitely not be too embarrassed when he learns that you led only a group of bandits and captured Shouchun.
Don't care too much. After all, you are weak and cannot pose a threat to him, and now Cao Cao is restrained by Yuan Shao and has no energy to deal with you. When the situation changes in the future, we can use Shouchun as the base to quickly send troops to attack the Central Plains.
They were caught off guard."
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Ye felt that this plan was very good, and he said seriously: "My lord is really talented and strategic. This strategy can enhance the actual strength without causing fear to others. It is really the best strategy. But Ziyang is worried about two things.
It will affect the lord's plan. The first question is that Yuan Jiujiu was not completely defeated. The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. What should we do if this person is intercepted by Cao Cao and returns to Shouchun?"
"What Ziyang said is that I have also considered this issue, but I learned a major piece of news from Yuan Shu's cronies before. Yuan Shu is seriously ill and will not live for a few days. Please ask Ziyang about this.
Don't worry, Yuan Shu will never return to Shouchun alive." Although Liu Xun knew the direction of history, if he really told the truth, Liu Ye would probably not believe it. Now he can only make up white lies to achieve the effect.
.
"Is there such a thing? This is really God's blessing for the lord to seize the land of Shouchun." Liu Ye did not doubt Liu Xun's lies. After all, Liu Xun was Yuan Shu's old subordinate. There must be old acquaintances still with Yuan Shu. From this point of view, he knew
Isn’t it normal to share some inside information that others don’t know?
"The second question is whether Cao Mengde will really become an enemy of Yuan Shao. After all, the two are now closely related, and Cao Cao is a prince whom Yuan Shao personally supported. If the two of them get along well, Cao Mengde, who has no worries, will not be able to deal with us.
It's just a little effort." Liu Ye asked worriedly.
"Haha, Ziyang, Cao Mengde and Yuan Shao have already been at odds with each other for a long time. Now Yuan Shao is ambitious and wants to dominate the world, and Cao Mengde is a traitor in the world. How can he be willing to give up the land of the Central Plains? And this world can only be
In one person's world, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. The spies I placed next to Cao Mengde have sent back information. Now Yuan Shao wants to capture the Central Plains, and Cao Mengde has already secretly prepared to fight Yuan Shao with all his strength. Now there is no
Use your energy to deal with us "shrimp soldiers and crab generals"."
Looking at Liu Xun's calm answer, Liu Ye realized from Liu Xun's words that the lord in front of him was by no means an ordinary person. Being able to get such insider information meant that the lord's manpower had already been infiltrated into Cao Cao's senior management.
.
How could Liu Ye have imagined that all this was just nonsense made by Liu Xun. There was no informant of Liu Xun in Cao Ying at all, but that did not prevent Liu Xun from telling the truth.
At this moment, Liu Ye, who was unaware of Liu Xun's performance, was shocked by Liu Xun's performance. He felt a sense of unknown terror. His lord's understanding of the general trend of the world was definitely beyond the imagination of others. Since the words had been spoken, Liu Ye naturally
Choosing to believe in his lord: "My lord is really prepared for a rainy day, Zi Yang is not as good as it is. Today I am willing to drive for my lord to Shouchun to expand the territory for my lord."
Liu Xun smiled happily and said: "I'll leave everything to Ziyang. Tell me whatever you need to go to Shouchun. I hope Ziyang will be careful along the way and don't let others see any flaws. There are people around me like this
These people are all my close confidants and will not reveal our relationship, please rest assured Ziyang."
Liu Ye quickly waved his hand and said: "No need to trouble my lord, I have already moved out all the food, grass and baggage in the village during this trip, which will definitely be enough for a while. Now that the matter is urgent, Ye directly leads the troops to Shouchun.
But Ye must be careful along the way and not reveal any flaws, so please don’t worry, my lord."
Liu Xun held Liu Ye's hand and said solemnly, "In this case, I will no longer be polite. If you have any difficulties, please tell me as soon as possible. Now you are surrounded by newly surrendered bandits. I am the prefect."
I'm a little worried about your safety. It's a long way to go and it's really inconvenient to have no one you can trust by your side."
Then Liu Xun pointed behind him and continued to Liu Ye: "This is General Liu Jie, my favorite general. General Liu is loyal and courageous, and acts prudently. Today I will let him lead a thousand troops to go with you."
Shouchun, I wonder what Ziyang wants?"
