Liu Bei came to find Li Su, of course he had some serious business.

Let’s learn about Li Su’s mentality after becoming a minister, and eat, drink, play and talk about royal relatives. That’s all just a few things to do.

After arranging the chores of the playboys like Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, Liu Bei quickly got to the point and asked about his response to the recent trend of civil war among the princes of Kanto.

See if everything is going according to the plan, or if Li Suyou discovers better opportunities, and can adapt to changes and speed up the harvest.

Li Su didn't have more information, so he didn't come up with any new ideas that made Liu Bei feel amazing. In fact, this is normal, and it's not that easy to think of strange strategies.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much. The conflict between the two Yuans is still in the tentative stage. Even if they use force, they will make excuses at the beginning, saying that there are treacherous slanders on the other side that deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates, and tamper with Yuan Shao's will.

Yuan Shao's territory covers three states and is quite vast. Since it is a civil war, it must not be resolved entirely by force. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are more likely to win over officials in the other state to recognize him.

Therefore, I have predicted that in the first month of the war, there will definitely be people within both sides who will rebel and turn against each other and regard themselves as righteous people, forming a staggering attitude of having me and I. The two Yuans may not have much military achievements, but they should be the main force of destroying the enemy within themselves.

After the internal side selection and team end completely, if it is faster, there will be a full-scale civil war in the end of February. What's more, Yuan Shao's body is not cold, and Hebei is so cold in the first month, so there will be no large-scale operation in the first month. Our army has to deal with it, and there is still time."

Liu Bei nodded: "Then apart from Yide's journey, if the two Yuans fight in full swing, they will take the opportunity to attack Youzhou. Are there any other things to pay attention to?"

Li Su thought for a while: "Your Majesty can send an envoy to Wujun today to check how well the large Beihai sand ship prepared by Zilong and Ziyi last year was prepared. If the ships are enough and the supplies are complete, let Zilong rush to help Liaodong.

I think that when Yuan Shao was there, the Yuan family did not pay attention to the navy and lacked sea ships. So I tentatively attacked Mi Zhu once many years ago, but gave up because I could not transport grain by sea through the Liaoxi Corridor. This was why Mi Zhu took the initiative to surrender and paid 50 million yuan in tribute to wallet taxes every year, which resulted in many years of peace and vain.

Cao Cao had already established a foothold in Sanhan and Danluo for four or five years, and had also conquered Danluo's Gongsun Du. Cao Cao's naval power was far beyond Yuan Shao's comparison. For him, he would not be satisfied with Mi Zhu giving 50 million yuan a year.

Because he had to conquer by force, he would use his sea fleet to transport Liaodong materials to the Central Plains in the future, and his profit would be several times that of Mi Zhu's tribute. Since the Yuan family is in conflict, Cao Cao would divide his troops to destroy Liaodong by sea and eliminate hidden dangers in the rear, which is natural.

More importantly, Cao Cao's coastal territory was originally only to Xuzhou, and his port was Qu County, Donghai County (Lianyungang). Therefore, the long-distance voyages across the sea were mostly to go to Sanhan first, then cross the Sanhan north to the Perak Wave (Datong River) and then take Liaodong.

Now Yuan Tan and Cao Cao are in harmony, and Yuan Tan's territory is Qingzhou. Cao Cao has sent troops to the port of Huang County (Yantai) in Donglai County, Qingzhou, and other places. The distance between the sea was greatly shortened, so he could directly attack the Chonggang Dashi County (Dalian) of Liaodong County. All kinds of factors have made it more convenient for Cao Cao to take action. How could he not want the benefits of delivering it to his hands?

Your Majesty now issued an order that it will be transmitted to Wujun for more than ten days. In February, Zilong and others will be able to make all preparations, set sail to cross the coast north, and also rush to Dashi through Lelang. In this way, you should be able to intercept Cao Cao, or use your leisure to prevent Cao Cao from landing directly in the land of the jin area."

After hearing this, Liu Bei did not immediately make a statement. Instead, he walked to the map and carefully compared and thought about it. After all, it was a military and national event that concerns tens of thousands of troops, and he also had to use all the main forces of the Han Dynasty's naval forces.

Finally, Liu Bei adopted Li Su's strategic thinking. However, considering that Li Su was just talking about it in general and did not refine the specific measures of military dispatch, it is necessary to add:

"This proposal is feasible. I will summon Gongda again tomorrow. Xiaozhi will discuss the deployment details and send them to Zilong."

Those supplementary tasks are for Xun Youfa to make the arrangements. Since Li Su is the prime minister, just focus on the overall situation.

Liu Bei talked to Li Su about other military affairs details, and also talked about Zhang Fei's approaching attack on Youzhou all the way, but he was afraid that Zhang Fei would lack advice from counselors and would be unsafe enough. Although Zhang Fei is a native of Zhuo County, it would be less difficult to get back to his hometown, but it would be better to have full staff.

Considering that Xun You was the third duke, it was impossible for Zhang Fei to be a military advisor, and Fa Zheng was already in charge of the Ministry of Justice. The work of nine departments was inseparable from the center. In the end, Liu Bei chose Pang Tong, who had been the chief minister for him for a while ago, and asked him to go to Yanmen County today to hand over the work with Zhang Fei, and temporarily served as the army of Zhang Fei's troops along the way.

At this time, we can see the benefits of Pang Tong coming to the scene late in this life, because Pang Tong only gained the opportunity to make meritorious contributions on the eve of Yuan Shu's destruction. He used a trick to lure some generals from the Yuan Shu camp. Although he got a good official position, his qualifications in the court were too shallow.

After Liu Bei became emperor, Pang Tong only obtained a grassroots consulting official position within the Shangshu Station. He was the kind who had the opportunity to speak and offer suggestions but had a low status. Through Pang Tong's several initiatives, Liu Bei also learned that this person had something to do, but he did not have the chance to make any great contributions to him.

Since this time, it is rare that Zhang Fei will lead an army alone to pacify a state. Moreover, Zhang Fei lacks a team with low status and strong abilities around him, which just passes Pang Tong.

...

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing wrong, why not ask Gongda and Xiaozhi to discuss the details of the deployment of Zilong's troops, so as not to delay major events."

Seeing that Liu Bei had almost arranged the national affairs that Liu Bei had come to visit today, Li Su also reminded Liu Bei to work diligently and not to procrastinate. After all, if the attacks of tens of thousands of navy troops were arranged early, they would be arranged early.

On the other hand, Li Su was also chatting with Liu Bei. He drank a little too much rum milk wine and became slightly drunk. He didn't want to drink it anymore and felt uncomfortable.

Liu Bei also drank too much rum milk wine, and his eyes turned pale: "I can't drink it for a while after talking about national affairs? I'm driving me away. The prime minister has become the one, but I still can't bear to give up a few pots of wine? I still feel that it has nothing to do with current affairs. There are no outsiders today, so I can't talk to my brother."

Li Su was embarrassed and remedy: "Why are you reluctant to give up the wine? You are afraid that your Majesty will do it immediately, and you will forget it again. The person who came, sent him twenty jars of sweet wine brewed with fresh milk to the Weiyang Palace."

While delivering things, Li Su also took care of him and told the palace manager clearly that these milk wines that can be stored for a long time are more mellow than those that are cashed in at this moment, so you should not drink too much, and you should also pay attention to storage.

After Li Su found out Liu Bei's mentality, he pondered and asked, "Your Majesty is a person who is unjustified. Even if he is strong for a while, his foundation will collapse instantly as long as he dies?

But I wish you a bluntly said that this is a good thing. Your Majesty doesn’t have to worry about it. Other princes who are not surnamed Liu must worry. Isn’t it beautiful to be able to enjoy the benefits of your Majesty and take back one or two states without bloodshed?

If Cao Cao could survive until his old age, even the entire Guandong would not have to use wars and make an edict. It would be a matter of 15 years of war in the world, and it might take another fifteen years to die. Therefore, the people could not afford it, so it would be better to resolve it by force. It would be completely unified within three to five years."

Liu Bei shook his head: "I am not pitying Yuan Shao. The point I am concerned about is that Yuan Shao can use Liu He to conspire to usurp the rebellion, but Cao Cao can use the same method to deal with him and give him the other person.

This reminds me of Taishigong's "The Family of Chen She". How did Chen She die? Was he killed by Zhang Han's military defeat? No, Fan Zeng said that Chen She died because of his independence, so he advised Xiang Liang to establish the descendant of King Huai.
