Liu Lin sat down at his desk. The busyness of the past few days had made his mind uneasy. However, with the establishment of the imperial court and everything gradually getting on track, his mind returned to the main goal of striving for hegemony in the world.
Come up the road.
A few months ago, Liu Lin had received news that Yuan Shu of Huainan proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun and was named Zhong. Sun Ce took the opportunity to declare his separation from Yuan Shu, and also took Guangling into his hands. This shows that this person has great political vision and has a strong political sense.
There is no lack of skill and ambition. Such a powerful enemy will be a major obstacle to his regaining Jiangnan in the future. Fortunately, he still has a backup plan. Thinking of Sun Ce, Liu Lin thought of his third brother Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu had already received his order.
Starting from Tianjin Wei and heading east, I believe he will definitely bring him good news. As long as he opens a military base there, he will have more chances of winning when he conquers Jiangnan in the future. When he thinks of this, Liu Lin's face
Quite looking forward to it.
Liu Lin walked into the marching council room with his hands behind his back. There was also a sand table here, about one foot five feet wide and two feet six feet long. It was a sand table map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. Liu Lin stood in front of the sand table and stared at it silently.
He owns the land of three states, which is only a small piece of land in the whole world. Although Youzhou has a vast territory, its population resources are very sparse, and it is spread over large areas of grassland. Compared with the powers in the Central Plains, his strength is still
It was not enough. The surrounding area of Luoyang was already filled with Liu Bei's flags, while Guanzhong was under the flags of Maharashtra and Han. Only Li Jue and Guo Bang of Tongguan still represented sporadic forces of the Xiliang Army. Liu Lin knew that this was the allied force of Maharashtra and Han.
Once there is a change in Guanzhong, or something happens in Luoyang, this army will play a decisive role. Liu Lin glanced at Guanzhong Chang'an and sighed. The hinterland of Guanzhong, with fertile land and fierce folk customs, is the ideal place to recruit soldiers.
The superior choice of He Tun Liang was now occupied by Ma Han. Thinking of the information from Chang'an yesterday, his heart moved and he loudly said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi asked Li Su to come to my place!"
Half an hour later, Li Su hurried over, "General Li Su has met His Highness!" "Get up!" Liu Lin motioned Li Su to sit down. After Xu Shu served tea, he withdrew, "Chang'an Ma Hanzhi.
There is discord between the two countries now, and Liu Bei is eyeing Luoyang. Once a war breaks out between Maharashtra and Han, I am afraid that Guanzhong will definitely fall into Liu Bei's hands. By then, the world situation will definitely change. I intend to let you go to Tongguan and seek refuge with Li Jue.
What do you think about waiting for the opportunity?"
When Li Su heard this, he quickly clasped his fists and said, "General, I obey!" Seeing that Li Su accepted his order without hesitation, Liu Lin showed a smile of relief on his face. He patted Li Su on the shoulder and said, "It stands to reason that
You have just returned from Chang'an. You should stay in Jizhou for a while and have a good reunion with your family. However, this matter cannot be delayed. It is most appropriate for you to go. After all, you have a good relationship with Li Jue and Guo Si. You are here.
Tongguan, I can rest assured!"
Li Su's eyes showed emotion, and he clasped his fists and said, "General, I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!" Liu Lin nodded. Looking at Li Su's back as he strode out of the hall, Liu Lin smiled happily, although Li Su
This person has a strong desire for officialdom, but he is still very capable. As long as you make good use of it, you will definitely get unexpected results.
Li Su left. Although Liu Lin didn't know what the outcome would be, at least with Li Su at Tongguan, it would not be easy for Liu Bei to take Guanzhong. By then, he would have dealt with the Xiongnu in Mobei and led his troops westward.
The whole world can support two of them. At that time, sitting in Guanzhong, overlooking the power of the world will be done!
The Chang'an incident was solved again, and Liu Lin set his sights on Jiangnan. At this moment, Xu Shu walked in and reported: "Your Highness, the guards just came to report that Chen Deng, the captain of Xuzhou Diannong School, was ordered to
Please see me!" "Chen Deng?" Liu Lin suddenly became energetic. Although Chen Deng is young, he is very capable in both literary and military affairs. He and his father Chen Gui are the most powerful counselors under Tao Qian. Now he is
He was troubled by the incident in Xuzhou, and now he came here because of it. It seemed that he wanted to sleep, so someone gave him a pillow!
"Let him come in!" Not long after, Xu Shu came in with a young man in his twenties. This man's eyes were like bright stars, he looked like a talented person, and he walked with a steady pace, quite like a general, which made Liu
Lin's heart moved. When Liu Lin was looking at Chen Deng, Chen Deng was also looking at Liu Lin carefully. He was younger than himself, but this man owned the land of three states, and now he was holding the emperor to order the princes.
The person's magnanimity is admirable, and Liu Lin stood there with a calm and powerful aura, so Chen Deng did not dare to look at him. He quickly took a few steps forward, bowed and said: "Xuzhou Mu Clan."
Official Chen Deng has met His Highness King Yan!"
Liu Lin stepped forward to help Chen Deng up and said with a smile: "Yuanlong, I was still thinking about Xuzhou just now. I didn't expect to see Yuanlong now. It seems that there is a destiny in the dark!" Chen
When Deng heard this, he looked at Liu Lin with his clear eyes. Seeing that Liu Lin didn't look like he was lying, he asked, "I wonder what King Yan thinks of Yuan Shu's Seven Route Army attacking Xuzhou?" Liu Lin smiled and signaled to Chen
Deng sat down and then said: "It seems that Yuanlong is taking the exam for me!" Chen Deng quickly clasped his fists and said: "I don't dare!" Liu Lin smiled and waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, I will see Yuanlong today.
, I am very happy to have him as a confidant, so I will tell you my views on the battle of Xuzhou. Xuzhou has lost its vitality since Cao Cao implicated Xuzhou last year because of the annihilation of the Cao family and provoked a war.
I can no longer resist Yuan Shu's seven-pronged army, and Xuzhou is extremely important to Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu, but to me, it is just worthless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon. I wonder what Yuan Long thinks?"
Liu Lin exposed Chen Deng's mission to Youzhou in one fell swoop. Chen Deng did not change his expression because of this. He smiled calmly and sighed: "What King Yan said is true. It seems that my mission this time has failed!
"Liu Lin didn't expect Chen Deng to be so straightforward. His expression suddenly froze, and he laughed loudly: "I didn't expect Yuan Long to be so cheerful. Then according to Yuan Long, what can I do to prevent Yuan Long's mission from failing?"
When Chen Deng heard what Liu Lin said, he smiled and said: "My task is okay. I didn't think he would succeed anyway!" After saying this, he and Liu Lin looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "Actually, King Yan can let
The emperor issued an edict to appoint Sun Ce as the Marquis of Wu and the Mu of Xuzhou. In this way, Sun Ce would definitely recognize Youzhou. Although Sun Ce knew that this was a plan between two tigers, he would not let go of Xuzhou. After all, it was his plan to invade the Central Plains.
Fortress, and Cao Cao of Xuchang saw this opportunity, he would not give up. When the chaos comes in Xuzhou, will King Yan achieve his goal?" When Liu Lin heard this, he was shocked, stood up quickly, clasped his fists towards Chen Deng and said:
"After listening to your words, I, Liu Lin, suddenly became enlightened. Thank you very much!"
