It was already three o'clock in the morning, and Liu Zhang had just woken up. After a night's rest, the stimulation of the brain by alcohol had not been completely eliminated, and there were still waves of dizziness.
"Husband, are you awake?"
Cai Yan and Liu Yun were both sitting on the bedside, looking at him with smiles. They didn't know what they saw that made them so happy.
"Yan'er, Yun'er, doesn't your husband keep you from having a good rest?"
Coincidentally, Liu Yun and Cai Yan were pregnant at the same time a month ago, and Liu Zhang stopped being pregnant from then on.
"Husband, we are fine! It's you who drank so much last night."
Liu Zhang struggled to sit up, but his dizziness became even worse. Finally, he managed to sit up with the help of Cai Yan and Liu Yun.
"I'm fine. You two must pay attention to safety and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Ever since Liu Zhang knew that the two girls were pregnant, he immediately took them into custody and served them like uncles all day long.
"Hehehe... Husband, you are making too much fuss. How can we two be so fragile!"
Cai Yan groaned, but his eyes were full of joy.
The more Liu Zhang cared about them, the happier he naturally felt.
"That's not OK!"
Liu Zhang stood up and was immediately served by a maid to wash and dress him, and the cleaning was quickly completed.
"What time is it now?"
Feeling the strong sunlight outside the window, Liu Zhang estimated that it was getting late.
"Husband, it's almost noon."
Liu Zhang patted his forehead and couldn't help but sigh that the alcohol was really harmful to people, and he actually slept for so long.
"Yan'er, where did Lu Su and Liu Ye stay last night?"
"Husband, Mr. Lu and Mr. Liu stayed at the Zhou Mufu last night."
Liu Zhang nodded, this couldn't be better, he was about to discuss important matters with these two people.
"Yan'er, Yun'er, you guys should rest first and handle government affairs for your husband."
"My husband, please excuse me."
When he walked out of the door, Dian Wei was already waiting outside. Although there was no danger in Chengdu, Dian Wei still maintained the habit of guarding Liu Zhang immediately after waking up.
"What's wrong, you drank so much yesterday and you didn't even take a nap?"
Liu Zhang clearly remembered that Dian Wei was carried away by four people. No one knew how much he drank, but no one in the room could drink it.
Dian Wei looked proud and his huge head shook.
"Hehe. My lord, you don't know how much I drink? If I do this again, I'll be fine."
Liu Zhang glanced at him angrily. He drank too much yesterday and all the fine wine in the Prefectural Mufu was squandered. How could he come back again?
"Okay, there's no good in drinking so much! You quickly send someone to find Jia Xu, Zhang Song, and Zheng Du. By the way, send someone to see if Liu Ye and Lu Su are having sex."
"As commanded."
"Wait a moment."
As soon as Dian Wei took a step, Liu Zhang quickly stopped him.
"Inform the kitchen and make some simple food. If they haven't eaten yet, let's eat together."
"promise!"
Liu Zhang took the lead in waiting in the living room, and not long after, Liu Ye and Lu Su came as requested.
"Meet General Wei."
"Zijing, Ziyang, don't be too polite, sit down!"
The three chatted for a while, and then Jia Xu and others arrived one after another.
Coincidentally, everyone got up a little late today, so no one except Jia Xu had eaten at nearly noon.
Eat without talking, sleep without talking.
There must be no more drinking today. Everyone accompanied Liu Zhang to have a simple and exquisite lunch quietly.
After the meal was over, Liu Zhang straightened his body and started the most important thing of the day.
Discuss the matter of going south.
"I have brought you all here today, not just for a simple meal, but to discuss important matters."
When Jia Xu and others saw Liu Zhang being so serious, they all put away the smiles on their faces and sat upright and looked at Liu Zhang.
"You are all men of extraordinary intelligence. I will not beat around the bush. The world is in chaos and our army must not sit idly by and wait for death! We must explore a direction today on how to proceed."
Jia Xu, Zhang Song, and Zheng Du had already guessed Liu Zhang's intention of coming to them, but no one responded to Liu Zhang, only looking thoughtful.
"Zijing, Ziyang, I wonder if you two have any ideas?"
Liu Zhang turned his attention to Lu Su and Liu Ye, hoping that they could give him some constructive opinions, thereby opening the door to the south for conquest.
"General Wei, can you tell us about the situation in Yizhou first?"
After Lu Su asked the question, Liu Ye also nodded. They knew that every word and action would have an impact on Liu Zhang, so they would not give opinions easily without a clear understanding.
"Okay, Wen He, please tell them about the situation in Yizhou."
Jia Xu accepted the order and told the two of them in detail the specific situation of Yizhou, including the deployment of troops that could be mobilized, population, food and grass, etc.
The more Lu Su and others heard, the more shocked they became. They never expected that Liu Zhang was so powerful and could mobilize nearly 100,000 troops!
"Zijing, Ziyang, you don't need to worry too much. It doesn't matter if you are wrong. Let's discuss it with each other."
Lu Su and Liu Ye were both young men in their twenties, far from the Lu Zijing and Liu Ziyang who would dominate the world and become famous in the future.
In order to reduce the psychological burden on the two of them, Liu Zhang took the initiative to reduce their pressure.
It was indeed very effective. After hearing Liu Zhang's words, Lu Su and Liu Ye looked obviously relaxed.
"General Qi Wei, we can change the angle and analyze it from outside Yizhou first. At present, Yizhou seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is surrounded by powerful enemies."
"There is Liu Biao of Jingzhou to the east of Yizhou. He has united with the four major families of Jingzhou, Cai, Kuai, Pang, and Huang. Not only did he pacify the interior of Jingzhou, but he also shot and killed Sun Jian, who had beaten Dong Zhuo and fled in embarrassment. His strength should not be underestimated.
"
"There are Ma Teng and Han Sui from Liangzhou in the northwest of Yizhou. These two have lived in Liangzhou for a long time and have won the hearts of the Qiang people. If they unite and recruit the Qiang people for reinforcements, they may be able to pull up 200,000 troops and horses!"
"Although Dong Zhuo was destroyed in the northeast, Li Jue, Guo Si and others inherited Dong Zhuo's army and horses. The combination of the two can also raise an army of 100,000!"
Liu Zhang nodded frequently and looked at Liu Ye with eyes filled with relief.
Worthy of being Liu Jia Qilin'er, worthy of being a famous strategist in the late Han Dynasty, he analyzed problems from different angles!
Liu Ye can definitely be regarded as a talented person! As soon as he arrived in Yizhou, he analyzed the current situation in Yizhou vividly.
"What does Ziyang mean?"
"General Wei's mission is to put an end to troubled times and punish traitors! Therefore, we must not stick to the land of Yizhou."
Liu Ye's thinking was clear and his words were full of confidence. Even Jia Xu could not help but secretly praise him.
"In the north of Yizhou are Han Sui, Ma Teng, Li Jue, and Guo Si. Not only do these people have many soldiers and generals, but they are also famous for their cavalry. It would be unwise to fight with them now. If we send the people of Yizhou to
If you go north, you may be surrounded by these people!"
"Liu Biao lives in the eastern part of Yizhou. Liu Biao is famous far and wide, and is even listed as one of the "Eight Talents"! However, he is suspicious and prefers sitting and talking. I think he just sits there and has no ambition to make progress. However, Jingzhou's water system is complicated and non-water
The army cannot gallop, and the naval force of General Wei has not yet been formed, so it is impossible to advance in the direction of Jingzhou."
