The meeting continued in the afternoon to discuss military matters, but there were fewer participants. Only Xi Zhong, Xun You, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Liu Ba, Li Ru, Cheng Yu and others attended.

"Wen You, tell me the situation."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, in order to ensure that Zang Ba Infantry Division's attack on Hanoi goes smoothly and to prevent Yuan Shao from reinforcing Wang Kuang, the Gaoshun Corps stationed in the Guandu area,

With the cooperation of the navy, a round of feint attacks was launched, attracting Yuan Shao's troops from Jizhou. Qingzhou's Lusu Corps captured the entire area.

He gathered his troops in the plain area and watched Yuan Shao covetously. On the other hand, Gongsun Zan held back Yuan Shao's troops.

Whether Gongsun Zan can defend Youbeiping depends on his luck. Zhao Yun of Liaodong and Fazheng Corps have completed reconnaissance of the Xianbei tribe in western Liaoning.

Before we have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, we will give the Xianbei people in western Liaoning a hard blow so that they will not dare to act rashly."

Li Rudao.

After several years of suppression, the Xianbei people in Liaodong were basically wiped out by the Zhao Yun Corps, with a very small number of people fleeing to the north.

The entire eastern region is completely controlled by the Liaodong Army.

If there were not two princes, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, between them, Zhao Yun's troops could attack the Xianbei tribe in western Liaoning.

"What are the whereabouts of Han Song, Yi Ji, Wang Can and others under Liu Biao's account?"

Qin Qi said.

Qin Qi is quite optimistic about Han Song, Yi Ji, Wang Can and others. These people are all people with real talents and learning.

Especially Wang Can, a writer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the famous "Seven Sons of Jian'an", the great-grandson of Taiwei Wang Gong, and the grandson of Sikong Wang Chang.

As for how much actual ability he has, Qin Qi doesn't know, but if he is captured, Wang Can can be allowed to teach in the academy.

"My lord, Han Song, Yi Ji, and Wang Can fled with Liu Biao to Jizhou, where Yuan Shao was in charge. According to the investigation,

They were welcomed by Yuan Shao and temporarily stayed in Jizhou. However, none of the three served under Yuan Shao."

Li Rudao.

"Where's Liu Biao?"

Qin Qi said.

"Thousands of soldiers and horses that Liu Biao accepted, together with the generals, were assigned to serve under Yuan Shao. Liu Biao was not welcomed by Yuan Shao and stayed with the three Liu Bei brothers all day long."

Li Rudao.

Qin Qi knew in her heart that Liu Bei would not be reused if he went to Yuan Shao's tent. Liu Bei's purpose was to deceive Yuan Shao's troops.

It's not like he really surrendered.

"What happened to Lu Bu?"

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, according to what we have detected, Yuan Shao indeed sent people to persuade Lu Bu to unite against our Xiakou army.

However, Chen Gong firmly opposed it and analyzed the pros and cons with Lu Bu, and finally Lu Bu chose not to form an alliance."

Li Rudao.

"Gentlemen, what do you think of the attitudes of Lu Bu and Chen Gong? What do they think?"

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, Chen Gongtai is a very outstanding celebrity. He became famous in Yanzhou at a very young age. Not only for governing the place, but also for

In terms of military strategy, everyone can be called an outstanding talent. Given the current situation, anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose.

I estimate that Chen Gong asked Lu Bu to remain stationary in order to surrender in advance when our Xiakou army attacks Bingzhou, and to find a good way out for Lu Bu and his generals."

Xun Yu said.

Qin Qi was slightly startled!

Could it be that the old man Chen Gong was considering making a contribution and wanted to show off his talent in front of Qin Qi.

It is possible that there were many great people in ancient times who clearly wanted to take refuge, but insisted on causing trouble to those who took refuge so that their talents could be confirmed.

"My lord, please listen to Zhicai. My lord has known Chen Gong for a long time. Why don't you take him under your account?"

Xun You said.

well!

Qin Qi let out a long sigh.

"It was in 186, when I had just arrived in the Han Dynasty, and I took Gao Shun and Ren Hongchang to visit Chen Palace.

At that time, I was still in vain, and all I wanted to do was make some money, make some fortune, and spend my life peacefully.

Later, he was betrayed by the Zhongmu Yang family, saying that he had a treasure. On the way, he met Zhicai and Dianwei.

The major families in Zhongmu City sent out their dead men to hunt him down. When he entered Luoyang, he clashed with Yuan Shu again.

He had a falling out with Yang Biao. Under those circumstances, in order to survive, I bribed Zuo Feng to open up a deal with the emperor.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Yang family and Yuan family's persecution, I really wouldn't want to be an official. Later, I was ordered to lead troops into Luoyang.

I talked with Chen Gong again in Zhongmou County, and I did send an invitation to Chen Gong, but Chen Gong didn't come."

Qin Qi said.

hehe!

"Speaking of which, Chen Gongtai was the first famous person I came into contact with. I was lucky and met Zhicai, so I came all the way."

Qin Qi said.

Although all the awesome people around her have taken refuge one after another, in Qin Qi's heart, drama loyalty occupies an important position.

The drama loyalist followed Qin Qi before he became an official, and his affection was unparalleled.

"Okay, let's not talk about those past events and continue to study military affairs."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, according to the Jin Yiwei report, Lu Bu led his troops and horses in the Yellow River area and attacked the Huns and Xianbei several times.

Some war horses were captured, and the number of Bingzhou cavalry under his banner grew to 30,000. It became the strongest unit in Lu Bu's hands."

Li Rudao.

To be honest, Qin Qi still admires Lu Bu very much. He beat the Huns and Xianbei people in the border areas to fear and heartbreak.

As long as Lu Bu stayed in Bingzhou, the Huns and Xianbei people would not dare to go south and invade the people of the Central Plains at will.

Lu Bu is an outstanding talent.

"My lord, judging from the information received by Mr. Wen You, we don't need to pay attention to Lu Bu for the time being. We will wait until Yuan Shao is annihilated.

With Xu Huang's Corps and Chen Dao's Corps watching, Lu Bu's army will not easily invade Hedong, Chang'an and other areas."

Xun You said.

"Lord, there is another situation. Jizhou and Youzhou areas are oppressed by our Xiakou army. Yuan Shao ordered a large number of troops to be recruited. It is said that there are currently nearly 500,000 troops."

Li Rudao.

What!

Half a million troops!

What a joke.

The population of Jizhou as a whole is only over 3.5 million, and including the newly captured Youzhou, the population does not exceed 5 million.

What a militancy!

"Wenyou means that Yuan Shao forcibly recruited all the adult men in Jizhou and Youzhou into the military camps, leaving only a group of women to farm the land."

Qin Qi said.

Um!

"Yuan Shao is crazy."

Cheng Yudao.

"What's the point of recruiting more troops? Can a wave of new recruits stop our Xiakou Army, a valiant army that has fought many battles?"

Xi Zhong said with disdain.

"Since Yuan Shao wants to die, let's join in the fire. Mr. Zichu, how prepared are you for the financial war? Can it be implemented?"

Qin Qi said.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the Lord's order."

Liu Badao.

"Then let's get started. However, for the people who have no food, we still have to let the merchants provide relief and not let the people starve to death.

Our goal is to destroy Yuan Shao's economy, not to let the people starve to death. The population of the Central Plains is not large in the first place, so the losses cannot be too great."

Qin Qi said.

"Don't worry, my lord, we have already discussed it with the military. As soon as it is started, Yuan Shao's economy will collapse at any time."

Liu Badao.

"In addition, officials in the areas bordering Jizhou and Youzhou must do a good job of receiving and resettling the people, so that the people cannot freeze to death or starve to death."

Qin Qi said.

"As you command!"

Xun Yu said.
Chapter completed!
