Liu Mang was really angry about the Piao Xu in front of him. He almost caused Liu Mang's backyard to catch fire. Can Liu Mang have a good impression of such a person? So the tone of his speech towards Jia Xu has changed a lot. Jia Xu is an old fox, a human spirit, how could he not see Liu Mang's discomfort? He had no choice. Although his Piao Xu did not complete the task perfectly, he didn't know that several wives were back together at this time, but at least you, Liu Mang, were also comfortable! Of course, Jia Xu would not say this, so Jia Xu could only hide the embarrassment with a smile.

"Old fox!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu so angry that his teeth were itchy. As the saying goes, "If you don't hit someone with a smile, Liu Mang can't scold him on the spot when he smiles, just keep this kind of thing in your heart. If you say it, Liu Mang himself will have to be unlucky with Jia Xu. "Mr. Wenhe wants me to be ungrateful and betray the world!" Liu Mang cannot blame him directly, but he is looking for him to make trouble.

Jia Xu didn't care. After all, Liu Mang was considered his junior, and it was normal to have such a temperament. If Liu Mang didn't say anything and had no complaints at all, then Jia Xu would be really scared, just like Cao Pi, the second son of the Cao Cao family. He kept everything in his heart and said nothing on the surface. He might have buried a pit for you in private. Such a person is a great cause, but Jia Xu doesn't like this kind of person to plot against him. Therefore, although Liu Mang's little temperament does not conform to the temperament of a wise ruler, I don't know why Jia Xu has a sense of belonging after joining Liu Mang's army these days.

"If you want to not lose your trust in the world, as long as you reject Yuan Xi's conditions, you don't need to offend Yuan Xi!" Jia Xu's life is to not offend him. If you offend him, it's better to kill him directly. Save the salted fish to turn over and make him uncomfortable. If Yuan Xi sent an envoy to kill him, it would be almost the same as breaking up with the Yuan family, because Yuan Xi has a good relationship with his brother Yuan Tan and his younger brother Yuan Shang, except for the difficulty of reconciling for inheritance rights. He still speaks a bit prestige at other times. If Yuan Xi hates Yuan Xi, he will hate the Yuan family in Hebei, why bother! No matter what, Liu Mang is actually the brother-in-law of the Yuan brothers in Hebei.

"Killing Yuan Xi's envoy can make the people of the world feel the kindness of my king and know that they were grateful for it!" Liu Mang seemed to have taken over with Jia Xu. It was actually no big deal to kill the envoys of Yuan Xi. Killing the envoys of Yuan Xi was actually no big deal. Although killing the envoys made the people of the world sigh at Liu Mang's kindness, Liu Mang's reputation for benevolence and righteousness was already there, and it was not that bad! If he didn't kill, he would not care about the Yuan brothers Liu Mang. Among the three, except Yuan Xi, they were short-sighted people, and sooner or later they would be defeated. Although Yuan Xi was a little knowledgeable, he was too indecisive. If he was decisive enough, he would now help one of the brothers to take over the power of the Yuan family and stabilize Hebei and then fight Cao Cao to the decisive battle, he could protect the Yuan family's foundation, but Yuan Xi could not do it! He could only watch Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang flee, and in the end the situation was gone. He became the soul of Cao Cao's sword.

If such a person is offended, he will offend him. Liu Mang doesn't care at all. What he cares about is just the food and supplies of the current Yuan brothers.

"Lord, don't you want the Guangling Huaiyin area?" Jia Xu suddenly looked at Liu Mang with a smile and said.

"Guangling?! Huaiyin!" Liu Mang heard the two place names of Jia Xu, and no longer quarreled with Jia Xu, but began to ponder. These two place names are very important to Liu Mang, because if you get these two places, it can be said that Liu Mang's army had an outlet. Once there is this outlet, Liu Mang's sea ship can go north and reach the Liaodong generation. What is the difference between the Jianghuai generation? The layout is war horses! Moreover, Liu Mang's army is the most lacking, because there are three cavalry units in the Liu Mang army, and cavalry not only use people and armor. This war horse is easy to consume. If Liu Mang wants to maintain the consumption of these three cavalry, then he must enter a large number of war horses, but Liu Mang is difficult to obtain. Whether in Xiliang or Hebei, people have blocked the canal of the horses.

The most in Liaodong is war horses, while in Liaodong, what is lacking is food and iron, so the transaction with Liaodong is complementary. In addition, with Gongsun Du from Liaodong, he can restrain foreign tribes. It can be said that it is nothing to be necessary to strengthen his strength. Liu Mang even prepared to have an outlet for the sea, and he needed to find treasure island and Hainan, and even go to Southeast Asia. It is a fertile land. With the import of food and grass there, I am afraid that not many people in the entire Han Dynasty would be hungry. Liu Mang needed a population and a large population. Now the Han Dynasty is almost empty. If it continues like this, I am afraid that the Han people will be almost the same. Only by strengthening the population can the Han Dynasty truly stand in the forest of the world.

Therefore, this sea outlet is very important for Liu Mang. Now when Jia Xu talks about Huaiyin Guangling, it is naturally the sea outlet closest to Liu Mang's territory. Of course, Liu Mang wanted to get it, otherwise he would not have let Zhang Liao go to Linhuai as the head coach. He also sent out the two elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Black Chess Army in his hands, in order to surround the points and attack the aid and annex the Huaiyin Guangling if he had the opportunity.

"But Huaiyin and Guangling are both in Xuzhou!" Jia Xu continued to say with a smile.

Liu Mang's eyes sank, and the literati and military generals in the palace also pondered. Liu Mang wanted to get the sea outlet, but this sea outlet was in Xuzhou. Cao Cao had "kindness" towards Liu Mang, so Liu Mang could not defeat Cao Cao. At least he could not take over Xuzhou when Cao Cao was empty now, otherwise he would take advantage of the situation and be ungrateful. But if he didn't get it now, he would not have thought about it in the future, because once Cao Cao freed up his hands and unified Hebei, he would definitely go south. The first obstacle to going south was Liu Mang's army, you still hope.

Can you win Xuzhou at that time! At that time, Xuzhou must have been in the army. Even if Liu Mang wants to get it, it is impossible for him to not pay a major price. Moreover, when the war horse transportation was again, which year has it been? Now every minute is very precious for Liu Mang, or the princes in the Central Plains and the entire Jianghuai region. Because the world has been chaotic for so many years, it is basically possible to decide the outcome. With the arrival of the final decisive battle, they are not ready to bear the pressure!

"My lord wants to get this Huaiyin Guangling. He doesn't want to bear the infamy, so he should ask for it from this envoy of Yuan Xi!" The smile in Jia Xu's eyes made Liu Mang finally like him once.

"Wenhe's words can't be explained!" Liu Mang came to ask Jia Xu with a patient attitude.

Jia Xu then said, "Lord, we cannot attack Huaiyin and Guangling because Xuzhou is now under Cao Cao's command, but what if Xuzhou is not under Cao Cao's rule!"

"It's not under Cao Cao's rule!" Liu Mang was afraid of attacking Xuzhou and gaining a reputation for being ungrateful. Then if Xuzhou was not under Cao Cao's command, there would be no such concern.

"What if this Xuzhou becomes the rule of Yuan Xi?!" Jia Xu continued to induce Liu Mang to think.

"Impossible!" Liu Mang refused without thinking, because although Xuzhou was leaning against Qingzhou, even if the leader of Qingzhou Yuan Tan fought, it was impossible. On Xuzhou, Lao Cao had heavy troops. On the original trajectory, Zang Ba was sent with his troops and even deployed defense in Qingzhou. However, in this world, Liu Mang and Lu Bu broke out with Zang Ba, but Lao Cao did not relax his defense against Xuzhou. He asked the general Yu Jin to station with heavy troops on the edge of Qingzhou. Even if the battle of Guandu was so miserable, Lao Cao did not let Yu Jin's troops move one step. He just wanted to turn into a nail and nail it there.

When his father Yuan Shao was in full swing, Yuan Tan failed to break through Yu Jin's defense line, let alone Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao now.

And Yuan Xi’s Youzhou is even more after Qingzhou. How could he cross Qingzhou and Jizhou to Xuzhou?

"Haha, lord, Yuan Xi has no soldiers, but we can lend it to him! Xu Shu also understood what Jia Xu said. Xu Shu was good at conspiracy and was not good at conspiracy, which was naturally a little worse than Jia Xu in terms of calculating people. However, Xu Shu had a high IQ, and as long as Jia Xu made a little bit, he would naturally understand. Although he had no good feelings for Jia Xu, he had to say that Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe was very good! With this person assisting the lord, the lord didn't need to worry about being plotted against.

"Borrow his troops?!" Liu Mang's eyes were rolling. How could he borrow troops? He only had four elite soldiers. Liu Mang couldn't bear to leave each of them.

"Lord, have you forgotten that we have an army of 300,000 now!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang with a smile.

Liu Mang's eyes lit up. It was true that he had an army of 300,000. Although he had not yet fully formed an army, it was also a force. Although the combat effectiveness of the 300,000 mobs was poor, Lao Cao stationed a large army on the northern border of Xuzhou, Qingzhou, but in the southernmost part of Guangling, Huaiyin, Guangling, there were not many soldiers, at most hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled in a county, and the main force had been allocated. Moreover, Xuzhou had experienced several battles, so how many defenders could there be in the city! So Liu Mang's 300,000 reserves were a scum, but his opponent was even worse. So if he really borrowed troops, he could really take over the Huaiyin and Guangling areas.

Moreover, Liu Mang lent Yuan Xi’s troops was not just a reserve service. Jia Xu was planning to select those Shanyue people. Although these Shanyue people were people, they still had combat power and lent them out, but their families were still in Yangzhou. As long as Liu Mang raised his arms and called out, he would definitely turn against each other, so borrowing troops was only temporary.

"Wenhe means that we lend troops to Yuan Xi to help him take over the Guangling area of ​​Huaiyin and then send troops to attack Yuan Xi?!" Liu Mang's eyes lit up. If this is the case, then ungratefulness will no longer exist. Moreover, Liu Mang can also help Cao Cao. Then he has a reputation and a territory. Why not do it?

The most important thing is to borrow the food and grass from the army. What Yuan Xi wanted was Liu Mang who attacked Cao Cao, and he only gave 200,000 stones of food and grass plus tens of gold. Although Liu Mang did not attack directly, it was no different from sending troops. He also added a piece of territory to Yuan Xi. Isn't Yuan Xi paying for this result?

"General Yuan's envoy must take good care of him, and Yang Hong will be left to you!" With such a rich master, Liu Mang's attitude immediately changed. Yang Hong is Liu Mang's chief diplomat. With Yang Hong here, Liu Mang's army basically has no pressure on diplomacy.

"Old minister accepts the order!" Yang Hong clasped his fists at Liu Mang, and joining the Zong Lianheng was his strength.

"If this strategy is successful, Wenhe should remember his first achievements!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with a smile and said. If this strategy is successful, then Yangzhou should overcome the difficulties with 200,000 grains and grass, and Yangzhou's sea outlet has also been found, why not do it!

"Haha, lord, don't be too happy! Although Wenhe's plan is good, the distance water cannot save the near fire!" Xu Shu did not have the conspiracy that Jia Xu thought of, but he knew how to open the plot. Seeing Liu Mang so happy, he immediately poured cold water on it.

"Twenty-hundred thousand grains can be obtained, but it is not the moment to get them!" Although Yuan Xi had foods, although Youzhou was not 108,000 miles away from Yangzhou, there were still thousands of miles. It took more than a month to walk around this ordinary person. Not to mention that you had to detour, and even pass through Cao Cao's territory, Cao Cao would let him come so easily! The only thing that can ensure safety is the sea route, but the premise of the sea route is that Liu Mang got the sea entrance first. If you can't take Xuzhou, don't talk about anything. So this far water cannot save the near fire.

Xu Shu sent Liu Mang into the abyss of hell with one word. Yes, how long can the food and grass here last? In less than a month, everyone will be ready to drink the northwest wind!

"Continue!" Liu Mang could only rub his head. He had to find the fastest and most accessible spring water in Yangzhou's current predicament.
Chapter completed!
