Yang Xiu retorted: "But, Shandong..."

"Shandong is just a small disease." Liu Bian waved his hand disapprovingly: "The northwest is the biggest concern. Emperor Guangwu established the capital of Luoyang and raised tigers as a disaster. Now that there is such a good opportunity, I want to follow the trend and solve the two major problems of the northwest and southeast at one time."

Yang Xiu took a breath of air. Liu Bian said a few words that were understatement, but proposed a big picture that no one could imagine. Even with his intelligence, he could not accept it at once. However, such horrifying words were spoken out from Liu Bian's mouth, so natural and so calm.

Yang Xiu quickly calmed down and thought for a moment: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and beyond my ability. However, without the taxes from Shandong, how can Your Majesty expedition to the north of Mobei?"

Liu Bian turned his head and looked at Yang Xiu with a smile: "Are you taking the exam?"

Yang Xiu was shocked and bowed quickly: "How dare I?"

"Yang Xiu, I believe you have a way to solve this problem, so I will tell you this plan in advance." Liu Bian reached out and gently pressed it on Yang Xiu's shoulder: "Don't let me down, okay?"

Yang Xiu felt like a mountain was pressing on his shoulders, which made him overwhelmed. He was getting cold in the back of his head and never dared to say a word. He bent down and took two steps back before he released the invisible pressure and slowly let out a sigh of relief. He glanced at Liu Bian, who had turned around and walked forward strode forward. The soldiers he met along the way couldn't help but bow to him.

Yang Xiu's eyes slowly shrank. Suddenly, he felt that Liu Bian in front of him was a little strange, a little terrible. Is he still the Shi Hou who is called frivolous and rude, and the appearance of a monarch without a man? Looking at the unfathomable words, the confidence and calmness of his every move, the demeanor of a king, who dares to say he is frivolous, who dares to say he is unfair?

In the four hundred years of history of the Han Dynasty, which emperor had such a demeanor at his age and dared to make such a decision? Even the Emperor Xiaowu who had established great martial arts may not be able to be stronger than him. When Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne at the age of 16, he was still held in the palm of Empress Dowager Dou and did not dare to be arrogant. It was not until Empress Dowager Dou that he truly showed his strength.

At that time, he was twenty-two years old.

Liu Bian is still a few days away from his eighteen years old. He has commanded tens of thousands of troops to fight all directions to save the Han Dynasty. Although the army in Shandong is on the rise and the Han Dynasty is about to collapse, he not only is he not discouraged, but instead takes this opportunity to solve the chronic diseases of the Han Dynasty for more than a hundred years in one fell swoop. You can say that he is young and frivolous, but he has to admire his courage.

If you fight with such a king, even if you lose in the end, you will not be in vain.

Yang Xiu suddenly became full of heroic spirit, his scalp was numb, and blood surged on his face.

Liu Bian nodded to the soldiers he met along the way, and laughed secretly. He knew that Yang Xiu must be dizzy now. He suddenly threw a bombshell to knock Yang Xiu out. Young people always have some ideals, let alone Yang Xiu, who is proud by nature. He would never be able to ask him to think he is incompetent and give up on his own initiative. No matter how difficult the difficulties he faces, he would use all his strength and rack his brains to solve them, and often come up with unexpected good solutions.

Young is the greatest capital.

...

Zhang Liao led a hundred personal guards to rush out of Wushan. In the valley, the sound of horse hooves echoed for a long time.

After splitting his troops with Liu Bian, Jia Xu found him not far away and asked him to lead his personal guards to rush to Anyi immediately, and hunt down Bai Bo's scouts near Anyi as much as possible, and spread the news of the arrival of reinforcements to the city.

Zhang Liao didn't quite understand because Liu Bian did not make such arrangements, and he was the deputy general of this team, and Jia Xu did not have the power to command him like this. This was actually depriving him of command and turning him into a lower-level officer who commanded a hundred people.

However, after listening to Jia Xu's explanation, Zhang Liao followed Jia Xu's arrangement because he felt that Jia Xu's actions made sense, and he started from the entire situation of war, not from the selfish intention of seizing power.

Jia Xu said that the Baibo army was able to defeat Niu Fu from the mob, and even attacked Anyi all the way, which means that there were wise men among them. Since such a person existed, then Your Majesty's plan to divide his troops and attacked him may be seen through by the other party. If the other party arranged heavy troops in Dongchipi and waited to ambush His Majesty, then Your Majesty would be in danger.

To break this situation, they must not dare to leave Anyi. If they dare not leave Anyi, they can only make a big fuss and make them think that His Majesty has not divided his troops, and the main force is them.

Zhang Liao rushed to Anyi to build momentum, which would create this illusion and buy time for His Majesty.

Zhang Liao asked: Since the other party is a wise man, will I bluff and I won’t be seen through by the other party?

Jia Xu said: It is possible, but he may not be able to make accurate judgments in time. Otherwise, when he heard that reinforcements were coming, he should have suggested that Baibo's army withdraw to Baibo Valley instead of staying in Anyi. With the strength of Baibo's army, they can only defeat Niu Fu. Once the emperor leads the reinforcements, they will undoubtedly be defeated. Now Baibo's army is still in Anyi, which means that he is either not as smart as that, or he is unable to make decisions.

No matter what the reason is, as long as you appear near Anyi, you can interfere with their actions. Moreover, after you arrive in Anyi, if the Bai Bo army has left, you must find out where they went. If necessary, you can join forces with Niu Fu to attack. In short, you cannot allow them to ambush His Majesty successfully.

Zhang Liao understood, without saying a word, and rushed to Anyi day and night with the gathered one hundred guards. He worked with Jia Xu for so long, and knew that Jia Xu was not a singular person. Since he decided to change Liu Bian's fate, it means that the problem is really serious and Liu Bian is likely to be in danger.

He can't let this happen.

After just passing Yucheng, more than twenty miles away from Anyi City, Zhang Liao knew that he was unfortunately defeated by Jia Xu. Because he rushed all the way, he did not meet a scout in Baibo's army, which violated the basic marching knowledge. The scout was released thirty miles away, and the closer the camp, the more scouts, which anyone who led the army should know. Since there were wise men in Baibo's army, it was impossible for him to even imagine this. There was only one possibility that there was no scout: in Jia Xu's unfortunate, Baibo's army left Anyi.

Half an hour later, Zhang Liao rushed into Anyi City.

After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Niu Fu shook his head like a rattle. He glared at his eyes and asked, "What if the Baibo thief just pretended to retreat and lured me out of the city to pursue me? If I left the city, wouldn't it be their trick? No, no!"

Zhang Liao was ready, so he took out a bamboo slip that Jia Xu gave him. Niu Fu took it, and just took a look, his face changed.
