"Why do you have to go deep into danger when your lord has a body of a daughter? Our army has been preparing for such a long time, so there should be no problem in taking Chang'an. It would be better for my lord to stay in Jinling," Lu Su dissuaded.

Yuan Shu shook his head slightly. Why would he want to be on the battlefield? But as the overlord of Jiangdong, he had to command several battles. How could he show his authority without being on the battlefield in person?

In troubled times, which prince would not personally lead a large army to fight in a war? At worst, he would have to sit in the rear, otherwise why should he establish authority in troubled times? It is not a good thing if the people under his command are more successful than the master.

"This battle is not dangerous. After all, Li Jue and Guo Bang in Chang'an are my people, and the entire battlefield is also my home field. Zijing, you don't need to worry." Yuan Shu said with a smile.

He is most afraid of death, how could he put himself in danger? He was fully prepared for this battle in Chang'an.

"But now the city of Chang'an is full of fish and dragons, and the situation is unpredictable. The surrounding princes are also watching eagerly. We are based in Hanzhong, and the journey is difficult. If the battle fails, I am afraid that the lord will not be able to escape!" Lu Su pointed out the most critical point.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to get from Hanzhong to Xiliang. The road to Shu is as difficult as going to Qingtian. The troops will reach Xiliang immediately after leaving Hanzhong. If they go to Chang'an to join Li Jue, Guo Si and others, Ma Teng and Han Sui only need to block that route.

There are two or three entrances to Shu, and the army from Guandong cannot easily pass through. This is what Lu Su is worried about, because sending troops to Chang'an means that the way back is cut off.

But if we take Xiliang first and then Chang'an, I am afraid that tens of thousands of troops will be stationed in Guanzhong. Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who have been eyeing them for a long time, will not sit idly by. Moreover, Ma Teng and Han Sui are not so easy to deal with. Xiliang is a bitter cold place with poor folk customs.

Tough and tough, under the invasion of foreign tribes, the soldiers of Xiliang were all elites who fought in the sea of ​​blood.

At that time, Dong Zhuo relied on the Xiliang soldiers to make the princes of Guandong fearful. If Dong Zhuo, the lord, did not seek death on his own, it is really a question whether the coalition forces could win.

"It doesn't matter. When I go to Chang'an this time, I have prepared a lot of weapons and supplies to defend the city. Even if it is heavily besieged, it can last for a long time. But Xiliang is indeed a big problem." Yuan Shu scratched his head in distress.

"My lord, although Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang are sworn brothers, they are not close to each other. Han Sui is an ambitious person. We can use a little trick to make the two of them turn against each other. Then our army will

We can take the opportunity to control Xiliang." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Since ancient times, the alienation tactic has been tried and tested. Both Han Sui and Ma Teng are based in Xiliang, and they are wary of each other. If they are provoked even slightly, they will definitely turn against each other.

"Ma Teng is quite a good person. If possible, try to keep him. But Han Sui is known as the Nine Bends of the Yellow River. He is a heroic figure who is unwilling to submit to others. He cannot be kept." Yuan Shu said.

"My lord is wise, we think so too. Ma Teng is of Qiang descent and plays an important role in our control of Xiliang and the Qiang people. In the future, we will fight in the Central Plains, Xiliang and the Qiang people are indispensable for us.

It would be best if we could subdue this power." Guo Jiadao.

"I have already planned this matter. Please rest assured, my lord. If everything goes well, Xiliang will definitely be able to control it easily." Jia Xu, who had been silent all this time, said calmly.

"But there may be problems with Liu Bei and Cao Cao. They have occupied Guanzhong for so long just to prevent the lord from seizing Guandong. They will definitely go all out this time, and Tongguan may not be able to stop them." Xun You said.

"No way! Xu Rong was Dong Zhuo's best defender at the time, and he had tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers in his hands. Can Liu Bei and Cao Cao capture them?" Lu Su said in disbelief.

"We seemed to have easily defeated Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the last battle of Nanyang, but in fact we suffered quite a lot of damage. At that time, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei thought they had a chance to win, so they took it lightly and were attacked by us. Liu Bei

Xun Yue and Chen Qun under Cao Cao, Xun Yu under Cao Cao, and Xi Zhicai are all formidable enemies. I am afraid this battle will not go as smoothly as we thought." Guo Jia said.

Not to mention anything else, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were both his former close friends, and he was most aware of the horror of these two people. Especially Xi Zhicai's spiritual talent, if it wasn't for the high cost, even Guo Jia would feel a headache.

Xi Zhicai probably thought it was unnecessary to participate in the previous battle, considering the backlash of his mental talent, so he did not participate. But Xi Zhicai must have been clear about the importance of this battle, and Guo Jia was sure that he would definitely appear.

"Well! It seems that you are all ready. This battle is different from the past. This time our army will face Cao Cao and Liu Bei at the same time. After the last battle, they will definitely not take it so lightly again. This time they will definitely

It’s a fierce battle, I hope you won’t hold anything back and go all out,” Yuan Shu said.

The most important wartime iron triangle under his command, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xun You, were all people who liked paddling, so Yuan Shu had to give advice.

"I will obey my lord's orders."

Guo Jia, Xun You and Jia Xu looked at each other and said in unison.

"It's so annoying!" Yuan Shu suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed: "Chan'er and Yi'er are about to give birth, but now they have to fight. It's really unpleasant."

Lu Su and others looked at each other, pretending not to hear. They couldn't understand Yuan Shu's affection for his son and daughter, but it was actually harmless. Yuan Shu knew how to handle it, so they just turned a blind eye.

...

There are countless small countries in the southwest of Yizhou. It used to be a backward land, because the transportation was blocked and the resources were not very rich, and the big Han people were too lazy to take care of it. Over time, this became a world of its own. Countless small countries were established here.

, but due to various reasons such as lack of resources and backward culture, this place has always been in a backward state, and many local people do not have enough to eat.

But all this was changed after the arrival of the aristocratic families. The power of the Han Dynasty was clearly visible. Kings and ministers from these countries were randomly invited to Chengdu. After a visit to Jinling, these countries all gave up their thoughts of resistance. They also yearned for the advancement of the Han Dynasty.

culture and a noble life.

Seeing the luxurious carriages ridden by the officials and families of the Han Dynasty, the luxurious clothes they wore, the elegant leisure and entertainment activities, and the refreshing tea, the nobles of these small countries were deeply intoxicated.

Countless dignitaries and dignitaries flocked here and lingered in big cities such as Jinling and Chengdu, never wanting to go back to that remote country again.

On the contrary, the wealthy families of the Han Dynasty went to the southwest countries one after another and launched their own actions.

Yuan Shu's acquiescence only stayed in the ears of the upper-class families, and no one dared to leak it as it related to their interests. Therefore, Yuan Shu's plan has not yet been known to these small countries, and most of the controllers of these countries have only seen the aristocratic families.

The benefits brought by it are not seen in the hidden dangers of this climate.

Even a few vigilant and sober people were vaguely aware of something wrong, but they still did not dare to resist in the face of the powerful Han. Everything was going smoothly according to Yuan Shu's ideas. Countless Han shops, academies, and factories were in these small countries.
