Nanyang, Wancheng.
The time has entered December, the weather is getting colder and colder, even if there are people who continue to add firewood to the brazier, the room is still full of coldness, and the kind of dry cold in the north is not quite the same, freezing people do not die, but the humidity in the air is heavier, it feels, but it seems to be colder than the north, people who are used to the northern climate, will be a little unaccustomed here.
The Qiao sisters were obviously used to this kind of weather, and they didn't feel like anything, sitting quietly in the room, working as female workers, and occasionally sneaking a glance at Liu Xie, who was reviewing the recital.
After all, there was only a marriage contract at that time, and there was no deep relationship between him and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and now that he has become Liu Xie's person, there may be some resistance at first, but after a long time, I am used to it.
Facing Liu Xie, who is obviously two years younger than them, but has a mature atmosphere everywhere, the two sisters gradually became a little dependent from resistance to later, and now they have adapted to the identity of a beauty in the palace, but they do not have the grief that Liu Xie imagined.
Qingzhou, has it still fallen?
After reading the last roll of bamboo paper in his hand, Liu Xie put down the bamboo paper in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes.
She was born in a big family, and she didn't ask Liu Xie what happened, this kind of thing, they are women, and they can't give Liu Xie any advice, women, just do your part.
Liu Xie leaned his head back, against the two soft masses, Qiao Ying's cheeks were red, and his eyes became moist, even if he already had a substantial relationship, but at this moment, when the most sensitive place was touched, he still couldn't help but blush and heartbeat.
Liu Xie naturally didn't know the cramped beauty behind him, so he just found a comfortable posture to lean on, but in his mind, he was thinking about the changes in the current situation in the world after the fall of Qingzhou.
Although the merger of the state is due to Liu Xie's continuous interference, there is Zhang Yang, Yuan Shao did not get the entire territory of the merger, Jinyang and Lishi fortresses are in the hands of Liu Xie, and it is impossible for Yuan Shao to attack through the merger.
However, Yuan Shao's power, compared with this period in history, is not bad, although Bingzhou is one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, but the terrain is complex, suffering from Hu all the year round, the population is thin, regardless of population or region, as long as the stone fortress is in the hands of Liu Xie, Yuan Shao will not be able to use troops on a large scale through the state, as for the detour to the grassland, Liu Xie hopes that Yuan Shao will do this.
It's a pity that Yuan Shao is obviously not stupid, Liu Xie's control over the Hetao and the west of Yinshan is extremely strong, and the cavalry combat power of the imperial court is by no means comparable to that of ordinary princes, although Yuan Shao has cavalry, and there are a lot of them, but he does not dare to run across the grassland to provoke the imperial court.
Now that Qingzhou has been taken by Yuan Shao, and now Yuan Shao's forces have spread all over the three states, in the next step, if you want to confront Guanzhong, Yanzhou and Yuzhou must be held in your own hands.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie suddenly laughed, it seems that the battle between Yuan Cao and Yuan Cao is inevitable after all.
The surrender of Qingzhou affected the influence of the imperial court on the Central Plains, but in this way, even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were fully bordered, a war between the two sides was inevitable.
If there is no imperial court, this battle, as in history, will be to decide who is the overlord of the north, but Liu Xie is not ready to let these princes privately decide what the northern overlord is, and there is no need for any overlord in this world.
It seems that after Shuzhong is flattened, it is time to move the capital back to Luoyang Leaning on the soft arms of the bridge, Liu Xie's fingers gently tapped the handrail, silently thinking, although Luoyang is dilapidated, it is indeed a place where the north and the south are connected, especially now that Nanyang has fallen into the hands of Liu Xie, Liu Xie wants to enter the Central Plains, and the place in Chang'an is a little too biased.
"Your Majesty, Jia Shangshu asks to see you."
Wei Zhong trotted in and bowed to Liu Xie.
"Invite him in."
Liu Xie straightened up, waved his hand at the Qiao sisters and said, "Two beauties, let's step back first." ” When the Qiao sisters heard this, they hurriedly saluted Liu Xie, and then went to the back hall obediently, and stayed by Liu Xie's side for some days, so they naturally knew who Jia Shangshu was.
After a while, Jia Xu came in with a roll of bamboo paper, bowed down and said, "See Your Majesty." ” "Sit, just right, the battle report just came from Qingzhou."
Liu Xie pointed to the chair next to him, and handed the battle report he put on the table to Wei Zhong, who hurriedly handed the battle report to Jia Xu.
"Yuan Shao is powerful, there are elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command, and there are even better ministers, and it is rare for General Taishi to be able to support him for several months."
Jia Xu glanced at the battle report, for the situation in Qingzhou, he actually had a prediction a few months ago.
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Liu Xie shook his head, Liu Xie had already foreseen that Qingzhou would fall into the hands of Yuan Shao, otherwise he would not have let Kong Rong move to Jiaodong.
"Qingzhou is now occupied by Yuan Shao, between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, it is inevitable that there will be a battle, I want to know, between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who wins is more beneficial to me" Liu Xie asked with a smile.
This battle is impossible to avoid, and Liu Xie is not capable of intervening now, but even if he is not good at interfering, it does not mean that he cannot be manipulated.
"Cao Cao."
Jia Xu said categorically.
"Why," Liu Xie said noncommittally.
"Yuan Shao has been based on the land of Sanzhou, Youzhou has elite soldiers, Jizhou money and grain are victorious, and now Qingzhou has been won, which is tantamount to adding wings to the tiger, if this battle, Yuan Shao wins, its power will run through the north and south, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and even Yuzhou, will be its gains, half of the country falls into its hands, at that time, it is the imperial court, but also to avoid its edge."
Jia Xu slowed down and said: "But if Cao Cao is Cao Cao, he now only has Yanzhou and Xuzhou in his hands, and it adds up to only one state, which is a victory, and a tragic victory, in a short period of time, it may annex Qingzhou, but it is impossible to annex Jizhou, if Cao Cao wins, then the two heroes will face each other across the river, and Cao Cao is in the land of four wars, Your Majesty must not forget, behind him, there is Liu Bei to restrain him." ” "Liu Bei, also bordering Yuan Shao."
Liu Xie thought about it, when he assigned Dongjun to Liu Bei, he did not use Liu Bei to contain Cao Cao, but also as a main force to resist Yuan Shao's southward movement.
"This person has the ambition of being a hero" Mentioning this, Jia Xu frowned slightly, looked at Liu Xiedao: "The minister thinks that after His Majesty pacifies Yizhou, this person can be recalled to the court, and then ordered someone to take over Yingchuan and other places." ” "Why wait until after the pacification of Yizhou," Liu Xie said curiously.
"Your Majesty, don't forget that Yuan Shu."
Jia Xu laughed.
"Yuan Shu" Liu Xie pinched his eyebrows: "Wen He didn't say it, I really almost forgot him." ” Naturally, it is impossible to really forget, but after this battle, Yuan Shu's strength has shrunk greatly, not only Nanyang was lost, but even Yingchuan was robbed by Liu Bei.
At the moment, Yuan Cao is about to fight, but whether Yuan Shu can get a piece of the pie, Liu Xie never thought about it, at this moment, Jia Xu suddenly mentioned him, which surprised Liu Xie, and frowned: "Wen He is saying, then Yuan Shu has the ability to affect this battle."
"Whether Yuan Shao wins, or Cao Cao wins, then next, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei will have to face the unification of the northern overlord, Liu Bei is quite talented, but also far-sighted, according to the minister's opinion, Liu Bei will be with Cao Cao to abandon the previous suspicions, together against Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shu, after this defeat, what will he do, it is difficult to say."
Jia Xu nodded.
Yuan Shu is a madman, he was beaten by Liu Xie, and he scored a lot, but it does not mean that Yuan Shu is willing to give up this game of chess in the world like this, and with Yuan Shu's character, he will not care about too long-term things, as long as it is profitable in the moment, if he sees Cao Cao's main force to fight against Yuan Shao, he may stab Cao Cao directly from behind, Cao Cao's forces, are not as good as Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shu adds chaos behind his back at this time, it is likely to directly affect the situation of this battle.
"So, let Liu Bei contain Yuan Shu" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Not bad" Jia Xu nodded and smiled: "This battle, the longer it drags on, the better, it is best to wait for Your Majesty to pacify Shuzhong, and then you can directly recruit Liu Bei to return to the court." ” When Liu Xie heard this, he smiled and nodded, if Liu Bei was unwilling, by then, the imperial court had already taken Sichuan and Shu, and it was time for the troops to leave Luoyang.
"That's right, Wen He is here, what is the matter" will be finalized for the time being, after all, the war situation is changing rapidly, no one knows what the situation will be at that time, and Yuan Shao has just won Qingzhou, it will take time to digest, a year and a half, it will not be able to fight, and Guo Jia's plan in Shuzhong is said to be almost over, and there should be results next year, maybe after Shuzhong is pacified, the two sides have not yet started to fight.
"The Cen family has contacted seven families to undertake the business of the Royal Chamber of Commerce in Jingzhou, Zhen Yao has been in contact with it, and the salt, glaze and various equipment produced by the Ministry of Industry in Jingzhou have been handed over to these families, and the Nanyang family has been basically stable."
Jia Xu bowed.
"The Cen family agreed, and the rest of the people, even if they objected, they couldn't make any waves."
Liu Xie knocked on the table and said with a smile: "In this way, the matter of Nanyang has come to an end now." ” "Not bad."
Jia Xu nodded and said, "The minister is here to ask Your Majesty, who will stay in Nanyang?"
The position of Nanyang Taishou has been handed over to Yuan Lian, and in terms of the Tingwei Mansion, Man Zhong has also selected a suitable candidate, and Hu Benwei also has a candidate, but the generals who stayed in Nanyang have never been decided.
"I'll leave it to Zilong."
Liu Xie smiled: "It's time for him to be alone." ” Zhao Yun?
Jia Xu nodded, Zhao Yun is indeed more suitable, after all, this Nanyang is a county with a large population in the future of Liu Xie, and there are many families, if another person, even if Lu Bu stays in Nanyang, it is easy to give birth to chaos, Zhao Yun is relatively speaking, his personality is more gentle.
"I don't know when His Majesty will return to the court" "It's over the New Year."
Liu Xie thought about it, and now that the New Year is about to close, he is not in a hurry. t1706231537:
