The real situation is that the Han side did not know that the Yao family would send troops to participate in the war in Qingzhou, and what Liu Yan said just now was just a question sentence.
Lu Yi thought that the matter on Cao Yan's side was more threatening than the Yao family's sending troops to the war, and he said: "The Cao family's plan is very big, and with such people, if he can sell Donglai Academy, he can betray us." ” Liu Yanda agreed with Lu Yi's words from the bottom of his heart, but his position did not allow everything to be one-size-fits-all.
For the rulers, there are only two points that can be used and can not be used, and the rest of the good and evil are secondary, Liu Yan wants to get the rule of Qingzhou to use Cao Yan's power, maybe it will be more useful than imagined, after all, even if the Cao family is weak, it is also a force that has been in business for nearly ten years, presumably they will not just know how to hide in the shadows, they should have more information that is not clear to more people, for example, it turns out that Mr.
Gong Tao is a person from the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
For Liu Yan and Lu Yi, it is an extremely important thing to know that the Yao family wants to interfere, and it doesn't matter which side Mr.
Gong Tao belongs to.
"The information we urgently need is that the Yao family is sending family private soldiers or gathering miscellaneous soldiers."
Liu Yan was thinking that since the situation had changed, they should make corresponding changes: "There seems to be an explanation for why the enemy army from the direction of Gaomi County is dragging its feet. ” In fact, according to Lu Yi's suggestion, the Han Department swallowed Donglai County, and it itself has the basic territory of Changguang County and Dongmu County, so there is really no need to pursue a high degree of expansion in a short period of time.
It's not that there is any caution or anything like that, but Changguang County and Dongmu County themselves are vast and sparsely populated, and the land of Donglai County has only added less than 140,000 people to the Han Dynasty.
War is never an expansion for the sake of expansion, but every expansion should be able to absorb the dividends generated by the war, so that the newly occupied population and resources can become the help to start the next war.
Obviously, although the Han Department has captured Donglai County, it is too early to really digest it, and they are currently only relying on high-pressure policies to squeeze out manpower, and the acquisition of resources is mainly based on high-pressure exploitation.
This situation is rather bad, as long as the Han tribe loses a little in a certain battlefield, Donglai County will definitely become a turbulent place full of phoenix eyes.
"It's not that we take the initiative to expand, isn't it" Liu Yan doesn't like to repeat the topic endlessly: "What you should do now is to ensure that we can continue to win." ” Compared with Ji Chang, Lu Yi did not like Liu Yan, and even Sang Yu, who appeared not long ago, made Liu Yan feel more happy to get along with than Lu Yi.
But it's still that sentence, as a leader, you can't be one-size-fits-all, it has nothing to do with good and evil and preferences, it's just useful or useless, Liu Yan can only make the two more tacit as much as possible.
Whether Dong'an County is a part of Qingzhou or not is now no one understands, as if Shijie Zhao State has not paid attention to local states and counties for a long time, and many administrative state and county reforms have made the local administrative system a little messy, and the most obvious example is who is strong enough to kill the original county guard, then he can replace it.
It was precisely because he didn't know whether Dong'an County belonged to Qingzhou or not, Liu Yan suddenly found that there were not many options he could choose, for example, there was no need to pull another state in, even if he needed to enter Yanzhou one day, it would definitely not be to provoke now.
"Yanzhou" Cao Yan was obviously stunned for a moment, he said: "Qingzhou is surrounded by Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, and Yuzhou, and the counties under the state have been changing in each period. ” Liu Yan nodded, but he really complained infinitely in his heart, although Shijie Zhao Guo was a country, it was really too casual, and he actually sat back and watched the local states and counties constantly change their administrative subordinates.
"Yanzhou doesn't have too strong forces, similar to the current Qingzhou."
Cao Yan suddenly raised his hand and said: "Xuzhou is the object that should be paid attention to, there is a relatively obvious military movement there in the near future, and it is assembling in the direction of Qingzhou. ” Liu Yan specially made up for the relevant knowledge, for example, Shijie Zhao Guo decided which state was whose sphere of influence according to the title, for example, Shi Bin was the Duke of Yan, then the Yan Di side belonged to Shi Bin's sphere of influence.
It is precisely because Yandi is Shi Bin's sphere of influence that he needs repeated northern expeditions, in order to ensure that the surrounding areas of Yandi are not threatened.
"Then Qingzhou is now Shi Shi's territory" Liu Yan had a little impression of Shi Shi, and recently learned that Shi Shi was only three years old: "Then it's no wonder that Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou are in chaos." ” "Shi Zun has been seeking to regain control of Qi Land, although it is currently only in Pengcheng, but several prefectures and counties have been effectively loyal to his officials, such as Guo Xiang, the assassin of Xuzhou, is Shi Zun's right-hand man."
Cao Yan looked at Liu Yan, who was dressed in military uniform, and then looked at Lu Yi, who was riding a horse like a Confucian robe, and finally turned his gaze to Liu Yan again, and said: "Among Mr.
Gong Tao's multiple identities, the identity of Murong Yanguo is spread by the Guo family. ” A huge "network map" was being opened in front of Liu Yan, and he was the first to learn about the chaotic situation in Shijie Zhao State with relatively direct intelligence.
Facts have proved that in the era when there is no media revelation, it is really not so easy to understand something, who has a relationship with whom, who is with whom, and who is the same faction as whom.
Liu Yan had tried to understand what kind of country Shijie Zhao was before, and the result of many investigations was the word "chaos", as for how chaotic it was, it was impossible to understand it at all without professional people combing it through.
The appearance of Cao Yan gave Liu Yan a chance to understand, don't doubt how hard a person who hides in the secret and keeps operating in order to stand in front of the stage, and don't doubt why such a person understands or knows so much.
If the situation does not allow it, Liu Yan really hopes that Cao Yan can be the intelligence chief officer of the Han Ministry and other figures, but it is a pity that Cao Yan did not take refuge, and Cao Yan only expressed his willingness to cooperate with Liu Yan.
It should be said that even if Cao Yan took refuge, Liu Yan would not only have more than one Qingzhou territory before he achieved greater achievements, but he would probably not dare to use Cao Yan.
Liu Yan led his army out of that mountainous area, and they were going to return to Xiami.
If only the enemy army from Gaomi County attacked, that mountainous area would be a good decisive battle, regardless of whether Mr.
Gong Tao and Fei Yan wanted to lead the army to march from that mountainous area.
The problem is that another large army is now approaching from Dong'an County, and if the Han Department continues to stay in that mountainous area, they should face attacks from both sides.
Cao Yan's arrival allowed Liu Yan to learn more information, but it was all bad news.
The Yao family's involvement in the war in Qingzhou is one of them, the situation in Gaomi County will be more responsible, the third is that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty may start to prepare for the Northern Expedition, and the fourth is that Guanggu City does not want to sit idly by anymore.
I know why Liu Yan wants to return to the city defense facilities, which are better, just because the next thing he will face is an extremely bad situation.
In fact, no one took the Northern Expedition of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty seriously, it was a semi-crippled country like waste wood, and the officials of that country were good at taking drugs, learning to bark at donkeys, and drinking with pigs, so that those guys with noble blood led the army to fight and the really talented ones were suppressed, that was because the Sima royal family was afraid that their throne would be usurped because of the improper position, so they could only choose some stupid pigs to use.
"Of course, the Sima royal family knows that choosing a stupid pig is not beneficial to the country, but as long as they can continue to get drunk and dream of death, the stupid pig is far less dangerous than Junjie."
Liu Yan didn't like the Sima royal family, this was not a secret in the Han Dynasty, and he didn't intend to hide this from Cao Yan: "Since you have been in that small court, you obviously know this. ” Cao Yan, who has been active south of the Yangtze River in recent years, of course knows what the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is, but now he is thinking about something else, that is, he actually thought about taking refuge in Liu Yan, if he confirmed the identity of his subordinates from the beginning, then he must also be a stupid pig Do you know what Cao Yan thinks, he unexpectedly found that either he is crazy or the world is crazy, a person who doesn't understand the situation pointed out how many counties Liu Yan actually captured, yes, he captured three counties in Qingzhou Making an excuse, Cao Yan thought that he should be quiet.
Since he found out that Liu Yan didn't know about the situation in Shijie Zhao State at all, he had doubts about his life like Mr.
Gong Tao.
"It's ridiculous that a guy who doesn't know anything can actually cause the established fact of capturing three counties" Cao Yan wanted to laugh wildly, and repeatedly called out something.
He patted his chest and looked at the elite soldiers who stepped neatly and walked past one after another with extremely strange eyes, but he was a little stunned: "Is it really an era where you can have a foundation if you are savage and strong enough?"
It seems that it has long reached the point where barbarism is justified, and strength is truth, whether it is Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin or Han, has it always been who is strong and who has the final say Cao Yan can think that Liu Yan is a guy who does not learn and has no skills, and he can also think that the Han Department is almost a dirt bun with little knowledge and does not know from which place, but there is one thing that must be recognized, that is, the system of the Han Department is very advanced, it should be said that it is extremely aggressive, and then the army of the Han Department is indeed as strong as rumored, and it is not lacking in elite.
"As long as Liu Yan can survive this time" Cao Yan took a deep breath: "Then choose to take refuge":
