Chang'an, the Protector's Mansion.
The Protector's Mansion is Liu Cheng's residence, and he usually handles official duties at the Grand Sima's Mansion.
If he has nothing else to do, he usually goes back and forth between the court, the Grand Sima's Mansion, and the Protector's Mansion.
Liu Cheng was currently waving weapons on the martial arts training ground of the Protector's Mansion, his clothes already soaked with sweat.
Chen Qun walked to the edge of the martial arts training ground with a memorial and waited quietly.
A waiter brought a stool and tea.
Chen Qun was not polite, sat down, picked up the tea and drank.
The tea cup was filled with tea four times in a row.
Chen Qun drank so much that he had to go to the toilet twice before Liu Cheng stopped.
Liu Cheng slowly calmed down his breath and blood, put the weapon on the weapon rack, took the towel handed by the attendant and wiped his sweat.
Chen Qun quickly stood up and walked over to salute: "Meet the Duke."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Long article, I kept you waiting for a long time.
What are you doing here?"
"Yes, Mi Heng sent someone to send a memorial saying that the leaders of the Black Mountain Army headed by Zhang Yan have accepted the imperial court's recruitment policy and related resettlement regulations.
Mi Heng asked the imperial court to quickly send someone to take charge of related matters."
Liu Cheng thought about it and said: "Since this matter was done by Mi Heng, he should take full charge of the resettlement of the Black Mountain Army and order the surrounding counties and counties to cooperate vigorously.
No one is allowed to shirk or perfunctory.
The imperial court People must be sent to supervise and must be implemented in place.
In addition, regarding the reorganization of the Montenegrin Army, Wang Shuang and Jia Kui will be sent to Zhang Yan as deputies to preside over the reorganization of the Montenegrin Army."
Chen Qun took out his writing brush and wrote down what Liu Cheng said in a small notebook, then handed over his hand and agreed: "Yes."
Liu Cheng asked: "Changwen, you said that I sent someone to send a message to Zhang Yan and asked him to come to Chang'an to meet him.
What do you think?"
Chen Qun thought for a moment, then held up his hands and said: "My lord, my subordinates suggest that it is best not to send a message to Zhang Yan to come to Chang'an at this stage.
This may give Zhang Yan the illusion that he wants to transfer him away from the Black Mountain Army, which is not good for recruiting troops." , not to mention it hasn’t really started yet.”
Liu Cheng nodded after thinking: "What you said is not unreasonable.
Then don't recruit Zhang Yan to Chang'an.
What's going on with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan?"
Chen Qun reported: "There is news that Gongsun Zan is digesting Youzhou and accumulating strength at the same time.
It seems that he wants to solve the concerns of Lord Yuan Shao's subordinates as soon as possible.
The development of the situation may not be as we expected."
"Oh" Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "Please tell me carefully."
"Yes."
Chen Qun agreed.
He considered his words and said, "My lord, the situation in the court is different from before.
The court has no worries and has regained Yizhou.
If we solve the problem of the people from Xianbei in Mobei, If there is a threat, then the court can launch an attack on any Guandong princes.
Yuan Shao may not be able to see it, but Cao Cao and his counselors, as well as Yuan Shao's counselors, can't they see that in terms of geographical location and strategic situation, the court Having already gained the upper hand, if the imperial court concentrates its forces to attack any of the princes, they will never be able to stop them.
If the princes of Guandong do not unite, they will definitely be eaten by the court one by one.
The princes of Guandong are all dragons among men, no matter how big they are.
In the face of life and death, wouldn't they abandon their prejudices and hatred and unite to fight against the imperial court?
Of course they don't dare to fight against the imperial court under the banner of fighting, but they can attack their lord just like they attacked Dong Zhuo."
Chen Qun's words attracted Liu Cheng's attention.
As Chen Qun said, all the princes of Guandong are not simple.
Not only are they not stupid, but they are also smart.
They are all dragons among men.

The development momentum of the imperial court is getting stronger and stronger. , although the three major intelligence agencies under him have made great efforts to block the information, there are some things that cannot be concealed.
Chen Qun continued: "My lord, at this stage, there is no need to worry about the Kwantung princes uniting again.
My lord has not acted as rebelliously as Dong Zhuo.
My lord, the princess promulgates decrees, mobilizes the army, etc., and everything is done in the name of the emperor.
The Kwantung princes There is no excuse, and they are now thinking about expanding their power and are full of internal conflicts.
Even if some of them have discovered the change in the situation, There is no time to unite against the imperial court, not to mention that no one has such strong appeal.
In the past, Yuan Shao gained the support of the Kwantung princes under the banner of his family background, but after the war against Dong, who among the Kwantung princes Without seeing clearly his ugly face, Yuan Shao no longer has the prestige to contact the princes of Guandong to deal with the imperial court.
Cao Cao's prestige is far inferior to that of Yuan Shao, let alone the others."
Liu Cheng did not relax his vigilance because of Chen Qun's reassuring words.
It seems that he will speed up the deployment of military operations in Mobei.
At the same time, he will also strengthen the political and diplomatic offensive against the various Kwantung princes to intensify the conflicts between them and make them more vulnerable.
Their internal struggles and mutual strife became more intense, and they had no chance to unite to attack the imperial court.
After breakfast, Liu Cheng came to Da Sima's Mansion and began to handle official business.
The official on duty outside the door came to report that Xun Yu wanted to see him, and he asked someone to invite Xun Yu in.
"Meet the Lord" Liu Cheng asked: "Wen Ruo came here today, what do you have to say?"
Xun Yu cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Xun Yu thinks that the imperial court paid too little attention to the various princes in Guandong during this period, and lacked strength in handling the relations between the princes in Guandong.
It should strengthen its political and strategic offensive to further divide them and intensify the situation."
What the court needs to do is control the conflicts between them, with sufficient control."
"Both Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are gathering strength to prepare for a fight.
The court does not need to invest more energy in this regard.
Even if the court does not care, it is impossible for them to resolve the conflict in a short time.
However, during this period in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou areas It's a little too quiet.
Jingzhou and Xuzhou are also a little too quiet.
I think we should find something to do for them to get them active.
In this way, the imperial court can control it in a timely manner."
Liu Cheng quickly said: "Wen Ruo may have specific ideas."
Xun Yu took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng took it and read it.
He read it in one breath, which took a whole cup of tea.
After reading it, he sighed: "Wen Ruo's memorial is really timely."
Ah, very good, very good.”
Liu Cheng immediately summoned his staff and ministers to discuss matters.
When everyone was present, he handed out Xun Yu's memorial and asked them to pass it on one by one.
Xun Yu's memorial finally returned to Liu Cheng's hands.
He put it on the desk and asked, "You have all read Xun Yu's memorial.
Please tell me about it."
Guo Jia stood up and bowed his hands and said: "My lord, I think Xun Wenruo's concerns are not unreasonable, and the measures taken are also very targeted.
Now the imperial court is getting stronger and stronger, its dominance over the local area is gradually strengthening, and its prestige is also increasing.
Increasingly, the Kwantung princes will definitely feel the pressure gradually.
If they want to unite to fight against Korea, It is not difficult for the court, but they lack people who can take charge of the overall situation.
It is not difficult for them to find excuses.
If they want to find excuses, they will definitely find them.
Even if there is no excuse, they can make something out of nothing.
There is no way for the court to resolve it.
The only thing they can do is not to Give them a chance to unite and destroy any possibility of their union."

"The measures listed in Xun Wenruo's memorial are comprehensive, but not precise enough.
His subordinates thought that as long as these measures are refined and perfected, they can be implemented immediately."
Xun Yu smiled and said: "I am only responsible for providing opinions and ideas.
It is up to you and Guo Fengxiao to improve the details."
Liu Cheng opened Xun Yu's memorial and read it again, and asked: "Wen Ruo said that Tao Qian lived too freely in Xuzhou, and Cao Cao was a restless guy.
If he was allowed to develop in peace, no one would Knowing how much power he will accumulate, we need to find a way to get Cao Mengde to target Tao Qian.
How do you think this should be done?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Cao Cao is now digesting the territory gained by driving away Liu Bei and Zhang Chao.
It is almost impossible for him to expand outwards in a short period of time, unless something big happens."
But Li Ru smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this?
All we need to do is ask someone to imitate Cao Cao's handwriting and write a letter to his father, Cao Song, asking Cao Song to travel from Xuzhou to Yanzhou to reunite with him, and then send someone to intercept and kill Cao Song on the way.
Putting the blame on Tao Qian for killing his father, I’m sure Cao Cao will not refuse to take revenge.”
Everyone in the lobby, including Liu Cheng, couldn't help sweating after hearing Li Ru's suggestion.
This man was so sinister that he could even think of such vicious strategies.
Liu Cheng asked: "Do you think Li Ru's plan is feasible?"
No one said anything, everyone pretended not to hear.
Liu Cheng said, "Since you all are silent, I will assume that you all agree with Li Ru.
You came up with this plan, and you will execute it."
Li Ru handed over his hand and agreed: "Thank you, Lord, I will do my best."
All the counselors slandered Liu Cheng in their hearts: "Lord, if I don't take you like this, we don't express our approval."
At this time, a small official came in from outside and walked to Guo Jia and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing this, Guo Jia asked the small official to retreat, and then cupped his hands to Liu Cheng and said: "My lord, I just received the news that the envoy sent by Yuan Shao Tian Feng not only got rid of the spies we sent on the way, but also diverted all the people we assigned to the Tuoba Xianbei tribe.
According to reliable information, Tian Feng had already communicated with the leader of Tuoba Xianbei.
They had contact and had an in-depth conversation.
What they talked about and what the outcome was is still unknown.
However, Tian Feng had already left the Tuoba Xianbei tribe at this time and was on his way back to Jizhou.
Tian Feng was very cunning and careful, and got away from him many times.
He has been followed by our spies, and his whereabouts have become erratic.
It is too difficult to attack him.
Mobei is not within our sphere of influence, so it is really beyond our reach."
Liu Cheng frowned and said, "This doesn't seem to be good news."
"This is indeed not good news, but my subordinates just received good news.
The three major Xianbei tribes in the west have sent troops.
Tuoba Xianbei sent troops to fight.
The two sides fought three games in a row.
Tuoba Xianbei lost more and won less.
According to the signs, , they may give up their pastures in Monan and flee to Mobei for refuge”:
