Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Knowing Xun Zhen's concise and straightforward work style, Le Jin was not surprised that Xun Zhen entered the subject so quickly. Although he had already guessed the intention of Xun Zhen to call him to Tan, he was still a little surprised when he heard Xun Zhen talking about it. Excited, and suppressing the change in his emotions, he thought for a moment and replied, "Xiapi Cheng Liu Ru is familiar with political affairs, knowing the feelings of Xiapi County, Jin thought that he could take on this role."

Liu Ru, a native of Yingyin, lived with Xunzhen in the township.

Yingyin has two right surnames, one is Xun and the other is Liu.

The Liu clan is the clan of the Han family and has been an **** from generation to generation. There is a member of the clan, Liu Yi, who is the father of Liu Ru, a famous scholar today, who helped the poor and the poor. When the emperor moved westward to Chang'an, he served as a planner in the county, and then ignored the danger of the road. , walking at night and nocturnal, to Chang'an for a plan, the edict praised his loyalty and diligence, and the special minister, not long ago, moved him to the prefect of Chenliu. To compete for the county, but willing to follow him as a guest, Liu Ru's reputation is not as good as Liu Yi, but he is also a long-term county, so he is familiar with political affairs.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "Liu Gongwen and my colleagues used to serve in the Yingchuan County. When it comes to political ability, there is no shortage of this person, but he is a young military and strategic talent." After thinking about it, he thought again, "Wen Qian is here. For the past year in Pi, the Zhe Rong Yu Party and the thieves in the mountains have been suppressed. Now the county is in good order. Although Xiapi is south of Jiujiang, Yangzhou has something to do. The aid is in Xiapi and Guangling, and Xu Rong is the main soldier in Guangling. It's enough." Panheng made a decision after a while and thought, "There are many people in Xiapi who believe in the slaughterhouse, but it was banned in the past, and the people were unhappy. He was a thief in Zhang County, Yingchuan, and he also knew the law, so he could try it out."

I made up my mind that, for the sake of keeping the next military operations secret, this change in personnel cannot be reported immediately. If Liu Ru is listed as the Prime Minister of Xiapi now, it is very likely to arouse the vigilance of Yanzhou, Yanzhou Cao Cao, etc. Anyone who is familiar with Xun Zhen's camp knows that Le Jin was supposed to lead the army, but a good Xiapi was suddenly changed to Liu Ru. What did Xun Zhen want Le Jin to do? Therefore, the personnel changes of the Prime Minister of Xiapi will not be announced until next year when Le Jin officially takes up his military post and leads troops to attack Jibei.

Xun Zhen said: "The official document is also good. When the spring comes, I will submit the list and ask the court to move him to guard Xiapi." Wen Lejin said, "The letter I gave you, can you show the official document?"

"Show him."

In the letter, there is part of the content for Liu Ru to read, that is: after Le Jin leaves the county, Liu Ru will temporarily handle the affairs of Xiapi, but it cannot be announced to the public. All official documents are signed, and the name of Le Jin must also be signed. If there is a county Officials and gentry asked why Le Jin was not at the county seat, and they could make excuses to answer.

The reason for this part of the content is because Xun Zhen doesn't plan to let Le Jin go back to Xiapi again.

After Zhengdan, it will be four years of Chuping. According to the military plan in late February, there is only more than one month of preparation time left. Although the strategic policy has been set, Lejin has always been in Xiapi. I am familiar with him, I have to give him some time to read the information, understand the facts and facts of the Yellow Turbans in Jibei, and at the same time understand the situation of Cao Cao and other generals in Yanzhou, and another, Xun Zhen also intends to let Le go to Zhao Yun and Chen Dao to have a look, and follow him. Zhao Yun and Chen Dao trained new troops to choose the troops he was satisfied with.

The new soldiers assigned to Zhao Yun and Chen Dao have been trained for several months, and their combat effectiveness has begun to take shape. Although Xun Zhen is not planning to use them as the main force in this attack on the Yellow Turbans in Jibei, he also wants to. Taking this opportunity, select the best of them, let them go to the battlefield, and experience the battle with real swords and guns, in the hope that they can quickly transform into elites in the battle.

Xun Zhen nodded and said to Le Jin, "Wen Qian, I called you to Tan this time. You should know the reason?"

"Jin can guess one or two."

"Oh? You talk about it."

"Jin dares to die and take the liberty of guessing, the lord summoned Tan this time, perhaps to attack Yan."

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Your guess is quite good." He took out a military newspaper, because he was discussing military secrets with Le Jin, and there were no officials in the hall, so he motioned for Le Jin to come over to catch it, and said, " Take a look, and tell me what you think when you're done."

Le Jin opened the military newspaper, watched it carefully, read it, returned the military report, considered it for a long time, and said: "Rencheng, Huaikang's father is taking a risk, forcing the Shanyang counties, Yandong is the key, although General Cao leads the main force by himself. They settled in Linyi, and they advanced thinking that whoever they wanted to attack would be the city.”

This military report is about the news that after Li Gancong voted for Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not tell him to go north, but left him to remain in the Cheng clan.

Xun Zhen pondered and said: "Meng De is very wise, if he really makes a sound of attacking the east and the west, if he pretends to be a soldier to help the north, but actually attacks the city of Ren, how can he keep Li Gan in the Cheng family? He is not afraid that he will do this, it will cause me a problem. Waiting for suspicion, revealing his true intentions?"

Le Jin replied eloquently: "A soldier is a real person. The lord and General Cao are old friends and know each other well. The lord knows how wise he is, and General Cao must also know that 'the lord knows how wise he is', so he kept Li Gan in the Cheng family. , to confuse the eyes and ears of the lord."

Le Jin's words were hard to say, but Xun Zhen understood what he meant.

Xun and Cao knew each other well and knew each other well. Therefore, Cao Cao knew that a simple "sound in the east and attacked the west" would not fool Xun Zhen, so he deliberately left Li Gan in the Cheng family to confuse Xun. Zhen's sight made him unable to accurately judge Cao Cao's true intentions. This is precisely when Xun Zhen and Xi Zhicai were discussing the strategy of attacking Jibei. It is the same reason to simply not attack Jinan, but to display heavy troops on the east side of Jibei.

Xun Zhen laughed and said, "It's been a few months since the scholars met with admiration. Wen Qian has such a high opinion, and I can worry about Fu Qing from Jibei!"

Xun Zhen, Xi Zhicai and others judged Cao Cao's move to keep Li Gan still in the Cheng clan. Like Le Jin, they all believed that Cao Cao had just taken over as the prefect of Yanzhou, and of course he was in urgent need of a victory in a war to consolidate and improve him. His prestige among Yanzhou literati helped him to control Yanzhou more deeply, but compared with the difficulty of attacking Jibei, he was more likely to attack Dongping, Rencheng, and especially Rencheng first.

In fact, even though Xi Zhicai and others had made judgments about Cao Cao's strategic intentions, they were not very sure. After the news that Cao Cao kept Li Gan still in the Cheng clan, they discussed and thought deeply about it. This is the true determination of Cao Cao's next military target. Cao Cao can't be said to be clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

After listening to Xun Zhen's words, Le Jin realized that the direction Xun Zhen was going to use his troops was Jibei.

This was not unexpected to him. After all, the consequences of fighting Rencheng were too serious, and it would directly lead to a state war between Xu and Yan.

There are two disadvantages to fighting a state war.

Yanzhou is no bigger than Xuzhou, and its population is larger than Xuzhou. Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi and other county governors have a higher background and reputation than Tao Qian~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Cao Cao's ability is even higher than Tao Qian. The most important thing is that Yanzhou lies in the west. In Jizhou, Gongsun Zan was newly defeated. As Cao Cao had expected, he had already retreated to Jixian County, Youzhou. Although Yuan Shao was still unable to look eastward, he could spare some energy to help Yanzhou. The process will be very difficult, and it will cause great damage to the people's livelihood and people's power in Xuzhou, which is one of the disadvantages.

The second is: Cao Cao's prestige is not enough, although because of Xuzhou's external threats, Yuan Shao's support and Cao Cao's friendship with Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, etc., Cao Cao stabilized the situation outside Jibei in a short time, and slightly It appeased the people in Yanzhou and gained the support of the county magistrates, but this support was limited. Zhang Miao and other county magistrates and Cao Cao were still essentially the same as when Liu Dai was in office. However, once the state war broke out, all the prefectures shared the same hatred, Zhang Miao and others were not good at military formation, so they would definitely support Cao Cao with all their strength.

Therefore, choosing to fight Jibei is more in line with the internal situation of Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

It's just that Rencheng is so important. What if Rencheng is attacked in Jibei? It is impossible to know that Cao Cao may send troops to attack and ignore it.
