Chapter 223 Killing two birds with one stone
Everyone left the city gate and saw two young men in plain clothes standing together with swords.
"Brother Guangyuan, Gongwei, the two brothers suddenly arrived, which really made Jun cry with joy!"
The two of them quickly bowed back.
"I heard that my brother made great achievements and received praise from the emperor. Brother Yu is here to congratulate me!"
"Guangyuan is so polite! Jun is just following his lord, so how can he achieve his achievements? Come on, I recommend it to my brother."
Cui Jun introduced both sides one by one.
"So this person is General Liu and all the heroes, and I have long admired him!"
The two of them greeted each other, but they didn't know that Liu He had already checked their attributes clearly.
"Meng Jian, the peak attributes of history: commander 76, force 67, intelligence 91, politics 84."
"Shi Tao, the peak attributes of history: commander 61, force 56, intelligence 88, politics 93."
"Meng Jian's current attributes: Commander 55, Force 59, Intelligence 84, Politics 69, Special attributes: None, Special stunt: None."
"Shi Tao's current attributes: Commander 52, Martial power 47, Intelligence 82, Political power 66, Special attributes: None, Special stunt: None."
Liu He knew it.
"Well, both intelligence and politics are not good. Judging from their overall level, they are also two first-class wise men. Now I have too few wise and internal affairs talents under my command. These two men are coming in time."
Liu He was very happy and greeted the two of them with a smile.
"The two high wise men have long admired their reputation. I have met them today and I have greatly comforted my whole life. It is cold outside. Please come to the city and have a chat!"
Liu He personally invited him, which gave them enough face.
Under the leadership of Liu He and Cui Jun, the two soon entered the city and came to the conference hall of the prefect's mansion.
After everyone sat down, Cui Jun asked Shi Tao: "I had also invited my brother to join me to join the lord. My brother said he wanted to take care of his elderly grandmother, but I don't know now..."
As soon as he asked, Shi Tao's face suddenly became a little dim.
"Oh, my grandmother passed away half a year ago..."
"Ah... I'll say more, brother, don't blame me."
Shi Tao waved his hand, but obviously he couldn't get out of his emotions for a while.
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little rigid, Meng Jian quickly changed the subject.
"Haha, Brother Guangyuan talked to me more than three months ago and talked about the general trend as it is today. He said that the situation today changes, almost exactly what Brother Zhouping said at the beginning. My heart suddenly felt respect, so I asked my brother to take me to Yanmen to visit Brother Zhouping and discuss and ask for advice."
"It turned out to be for this matter, but you have found the wrong person. This matter was not due to Cui, but was all the lord's plan."
Meng Jian had heard Shi Tao say that all the predictions related to Taiping Dao were all said by Liu He, but he thought it was Cui Jun and Shi Tao's humble words. Unexpectedly, when he met, Cui Jun still said this, which made him look at Liu He.
"General Liu is such a talented person, he is truly a pillar of the country. He is worthy of being the prefect of this county at a young age, which really makes me admire him!"
Liu He waved his hand and said, "I dare not take it. Liu is just loyal. The rest is supported by the military advisor and brothers. Fortunately, he has received the support of the people, so this is what we have today."
Upon hearing this, Meng Jian and Shi Tao looked at each other and nodded slightly tacitly.
At this time, Cui Jun said, "It just so happened that Guangyuan and Gongwei came here. I, the lord and all the generals, were discussing something, but I was frowning. I wanted to ask you two to give me some words."
The two of them became a little curious.
"Oh? The public is more talented than me, and Liu Taishou is even more famous in the world. I wonder what is going to make things difficult for you?"
Cui Jun talked about the matter of dealing with Chu Yan that he was discussing before with the two of them.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the two laughed.
Cui Jun, Liu He and others didn't understand why.
"What's ridiculous about this?"
Shi Tao said: "This matter is not a difficult matter, it's just that Zhou Ping and Lord Liu are confused. If you think about it from another perspective, with such great talents, you will definitely be able to figure it out soon."
Liu He sat upright and bowed to ask for advice: "Please teach me two gentlemen!"
Shi Tao quickly returned the greeting: "I dare not, but I dare not, Liu Taishou is concerned about the people and the country is in mind. Since there is something wrong, we should do our best to help each other and dare not say "teaching"."
Then, he said one by one.
"Whether that horn is horn or Chu Yan is now, it is not for production. No matter how many people and the materials needed are, they are just robbed. The place where he has long-term activities is between Yanmen, Zhongshan and Changshan. If he can try to lure him into the trap, wouldn't he save a lot of effort?"
Liu He's eyes lit up, but then he became in trouble again.
"But Chu Yan's personality is not as reckless as Zhang Niujiao. This person is cautious and has a lot of strategy. He knows that our Yanmen army is strong and it is not easy to attract him to attack."
Meng Jian said, "No. If he had 30,000 or 50,000 troops, he might not be able to bear it. However, now he has a 150,000 army and his daily expenses are so huge. Even if he is the governor in charge of a state, he will have a headache. In addition, the winter has just passed, and the materials he had robbed must have been consumed almost the same amount. As long as the bait presented by the prefect is large enough, he will not be able to come."
"Yes!" Liu He clapped his hands.
Shi Tao continued: "In this way, Chu Yan takes the initiative to attack, which not only saves the general's hard work, but also has a great benefit!"
"Oh? What's the benefit?"
Shi Tao smiled mysteriously: "Whenever the general goes, almost none of the local tyrants will be spared. They may surrender or be executed. I am afraid that there are many powerful families in Bingzhou who regard the general as an enemy now, right?"
Liu He was stunned, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that even the two of you could guess this, which really made Liu admire him."
"Haha, the general is too good, and it is not difficult to guess. These families must be thinking about dealing with the general openly and secretly, but because the general is now in the northern border and has a strong strength, they dare not be too presumptuous for the time being, but some small actions in secret are certainly indispensable."
Liu He also agreed: "What Mr. Husband said is very reasonable, but what does this have to do with another benefit of what Mr. Husband said?"
Shi Tao said: "The second benefit should be on these powerful men. The general can deliberately leak news, saying that he would attack Chu Yan, and vowed to kill all the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Then he hoarded a large amount of food, grass and weapons, and hid them in the mountains and forests of Yinguan City in the east for the purpose of confronting Chu Yan."
Cui Jun seemed to have guessed Shi Tao’s intention.
"I understand! Those families must have asked us a lot about our movements on weekdays, and such news will definitely come to their ears. They will definitely send people to see if the food, grass and weapons are true, and then report to Chu Yan and ask him to find an opportunity to steal all these supplies so that my army can be greatly damaged!"
Zhang Yong slapped his thigh and said, "Not only that, after losing so many supplies, after the harvest in the first season, the Xianbei attacked again, and Chu Yan would be encouraged by the powerful clans to attack us. In this way, internal and external affairs will be trapped and attacked on both sides, and our army will be in danger!"
Shi Tao smiled and said, "Yes, that's right! These powerful men will never miss such a good opportunity. The general sets up many eyeliners, as long as they send people to investigate and inform Chu Yan, they will capture all these detailed works and record confessions. Humph, with a traitor, the crime of murdering a border general is enough for them to kill the nine clans. At that time, these families will still let the generals take charge of them?"
Liu He became more and more happy the more he listened!
"What a trick to kill two birds with one stone! He captured the horn alive before, and he also had a confession. If he could have a second piece of evidence, he wouldn't be afraid that they would be in trouble!"
Shi Tao and Meng Jian were a little surprised: "Oh? That Niujiao also confessed to this matter? This would be the best!"
Chapter completed!
