Chapter 834 (2/2)

Liu Ye exclaimed. It's a pity that hundreds of riders escorted him all the way back. Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops are not so fast naturally, and it will take another month to get back to Guanzhong. Otherwise, it will not be difficult to gather troops and launch a thunderbolt on Jingzhou, and it will be a rare opportunity to end the civil strife in Jingzhou.

Jia Xu advised: ”it's not necessary for the general to do so. Although Jingzhou is now in civil strife, it is not necessarily a good thing to send troops to attack Jingzhou now.”

Liu Ye eyebrows a pick: ”how to see?”

”First of all, our army has been on an expedition for more than half a year. Now it has been a long time and tiring battle. We need a good rest and reserve our strength. Otherwise, the officers and men are tired of war. How can we get along with it?”

”Second, the north and the south of Jingzhou are fighting with each other, which consumes the living power of Jingzhou. The longer they entangle, the more casualties Jingzhou soldiers and horses will suffer. If our army sends out troops, Liu Jingsheng can't do a good job. If he leads his troops to the north of Jingbei to fight against our army, it's better to let them fight against each other. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's talk, Liu Ye nods if he has some understanding: ”Wenhe is also good. Let Liu Jingsheng and Zhang xianduo entangle for a period of time, so that our army can take the opportunity to recuperate.”

Liu Ye also remembers that Zhang Xian's rebellion broke out. Although he can't remember exactly how long it lasted, it was certainly not short. Liu Biao has sent troops to harass Nanyang many times before, which has already lost many soldiers. In addition, the suppression of Jingnan rebellion now will certainly defeat the generals at the expense of soldiers. At that time, it will not be difficult for Liu Biao to send troops at one stroke and level Jingzhou.

”In addition, there is another thing that needs to be done to the general.”

”Oh? Dharma Gong, just say it. ”

Fazhen said: ”Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, sent an envoy to Luoyang a few days ago, claiming that Yuan Shao was rebellious and wanted to send troops for a crusade. I don't know what the general's intention is?”

”Oh?”

Liu Ye said in surprise, ”Gongsun Du wants to attack Yuan Shao? Ha ha, that's a good thing. ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: ”the general can be granted gongsundu as governor of Youzhou and tinghou of Pingcheng. In this way, gongsundu will surely fight with Yuan Shao, and our army will be able to reap the benefits of fishing.”Liu Ye laughs: ”Wen he's very right. In this case, I'll make Gongsun Du governor of Youzhou.”

It's really good to take the emperor to make the princes feel good. Liu Ye has a trace of Cao Cao's cheerfulness. Cao Cao often provoked other princes to fight because of the emperor. For example, when Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou, Cao Cao ordered Liu Bei to send troops to attack Yuan Shu. As a result, Lu Bu took advantage of him and captured Xuzhou. Later, he drove the tiger and swallow the wolf and drove Lu Bu to drive Liu Bei away.

In order to achieve all this, Cao Cao did not use one of his soldiers. He just sent out a few edicts. He provoked the three princes to fight with nearly 100000 troops. This shows that the son of heaven is in charge.

”The general, Gongsun Du, is also a hero with ulterior motives, but our army has to guard against it.” Fazhen suggested.

”It's all right. Although yuan Benchu was injured, his lean camel was bigger than his horse. He and Gongsun Du were afraid that they would entangle for a long time, and there would be no result in at least one year.”

But Liu Ye waved his hand and didn't agree. Gongsundu was not an ordinary person. He was just a small and medium-sized official in the army at first. However, he became the prefect of Liaodong, but he was ruthless. He called hundreds of big families in Liaodong to have a feast. As a result, he ambushed with swordsmen and killed all the heads of these famous families. The whole area of Liaodong was all in gongsundu's hands. He was a gloomy man.

Gongsun Du also sent troops to attack Wuhuan, Sanhan and other tribes, making Liaodong power once the overlord of Northeast Asia.
