Chapter 188

The truth is that the Han side did not even know that the Yao family would send troops to participate in the war in Qingzhou. What Liu Yan said just now was just a question.

However, LV Yi thought that things on Cao Yan's side were more threatening than the Yao family's sending troops to the war. He said: "the Cao family has made great plans. If he can be with these people, he can sell Donglai academy and sell us."

Liu Yan agrees with LV Yi's words from his heart, but his position does not allow one size fits all.

For the rulers, there are only two points that can be used and can't be used. The rest of the good and evil in mind are secondary. Liu Yan can use Cao Yan's strength if he wants to win the rule of Qingzhou, which may be more useful than he thought. After all, even if the Cao family is weak, it has been operating for nearly ten years. It's inevitable that they don't just know how to hide in the dark, It should be that he has more information that people don't know. For example, Mr. Gong Tao was originally from the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

For Liu Yan and LV Yi, it is extremely important to know that the Yao family wants to intervene. In contrast, it doesn't matter which party Mr. Gong Tao belongs to.

"The information we urgently need to know is that the Yao family sent private soldiers or gathered miscellaneous soldiers." Liu Yan is thinking that since the situation has changed, they should make corresponding changes: "it seems that there is an explanation for why the enemy from Gaomi County is dragging on."

In fact, according to LV Yi's suggestion, the Han Dynasty swallowed Donglai county and had the basic plate of Changguang county and Dongmou county. It is really unnecessary to pursue a high degree of expansion in a short time.

It's not about being cautious. Changguang county and Dongmou county are vast and sparsely populated. The land of Donglai county only adds less than 140000 people to the Han Dynasty.

War has never expanded for expansion. Each expansion should be able to digest the dividends generated by the war, so that the newly occupied population and resources will become the power to start the next war.

Obviously, although the Han Dynasty captured Donglai County, it is too early to really digest it. At present, they only rely on high-pressure policies to squeeze out manpower, and their access to resources is mainly high-pressure exploitation. This situation is worse. As long as the Han Dynasty fails a little on a battlefield, Donglai county will become a turbulent place with Phoenix eyes everywhere.

"We didn't take the initiative to expand, did we?" Liu Yan doesn't like to repeat this topic endlessly: "what you should do now is to ensure that we can continue to win."

Compared with Ji Chang, LV Yi doesn't let Liu Yan like it. Even sang Yu, who appeared not long ago, makes Liu Yan feel happy to get along with him more than LV Yi. But still that sentence, as a leader, we can't cut across the board. It has nothing to do with good and evil and preferences. It's just useful or useless. Liu Yan can only make the two people more tacit understanding as much as possible.

No one knows whether Dong'an County is a part of Qingzhou or not. It's like Shijie Zhao state has not paid attention to local counties for a long time. Many administrative state and county reforms have made the local administrative system a little messy. The most obvious example is who is strong enough to kill the original sheriff in the local area.

Just because he didn't know whether Dong'an County belonged to Qingzhou or not, Liu Yan suddenly found that he had few choices. For example, there was no need to pull another state in. Even if he needed to enter Yanzhou one day, it was definitely not to provoke him now.

"Yanzhou?" Cao Yan was obviously stunned. He said: "Qingzhou is surrounded by Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou and Yuzhou. The prefectural counties in each period have been changing."

Liu Yan nodded, but his heart was really infinite. But Shijie Zhao was a country, but it was too casual. It was sitting in the state and make complaints about the changing of the administrative system.

"Yanzhou does not have much power, similar to Qingzhou now." Cao Yan suddenly raised his hand and said, "Xuzhou is the object that should be paid attention to. There has been a relatively obvious military mobilization in the near future and is gathering in the direction of Qingzhou."

Liu Yan has specialized in making up relevant knowledge. For example, the state of Zhao in Shijie determines which state is whose sphere of influence according to the title. For example, if Shi bin is the Duke of Yan, then the Yandi side belongs to Shi Bin's sphere of influence.

It was precisely because Yandi was Shi Bin's sphere of influence that he needed frequent northern expeditions to ensure that the surrounding areas of Yandi were not threatened. After the Xianbei tribe of Husi was regarded as a threat, it immediately ushered in the expedition of the army.

"So Qingzhou is now a possession of Shi Shi?" Liu Yan has a little impression of Shi Shi. He recently learned that Shi Shi is only three years old: "no wonder Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou are in chaos."

"Shi Zun has been seeking to regain control of Qi. Although he is only in Pengcheng at present, several prefectures and counties have been effectively loyal to him. For example, Guo Xiang, the governor of Xuzhou, is Shi Zun's capable general." Cao Yan looked at Liu Yan, who was wearing a military uniform and riding a majestic war horse. He also looked at LV Yi, who rode like a Confucian robe. Finally, he turned his eyes to Liu Yan again and said, "among Mr. Gong Tao's multiple identities, the identity of Murong Yan state was spread by the Guo family."

A huge "network map" is being opened in front of Liu Yan. It is the first time he has learned about the chaotic situation in Shijie Zhao state with relatively direct intelligence.

Facts have proved that in an era without full media disclosure, it is not so easy to understand what things are, who has a relationship with whom, who is one with whom, and who is the same. If you want to understand the pulse, you really don't rely on your own imagination.

Before, Liu Yan had tried to understand what kind of country Shijie Zhao was. The result of many explorations was a word of "chaos". As for the extent of chaos, it was impossible to know without professional people to comb it.

The emergence of Cao Yan gave Liu Yan an opportunity to understand. Don't doubt how hard a person who keeps running in the dark has worked to stand in front of the stage, or why such a person knows... Or knows so much.

Unless the situation does not allow, Liu Yan really hopes that Cao Yan can be a figure such as the chief intelligence officer of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, Cao Yan did not take refuge. Cao Yan only expressed his willingness to cooperate with Liu Yan.

It should be said that even if Cao Yan took refuge, Liu Yan did not dare to use Cao Yan until he made greater achievements. At least there was only one territory in Qingzhou.

Liu Yan led the army to leave the mountain area. They were going to return to Xiami.

If only the enemy of Gaomi County invades, that mountain area will be a good decisive battle site, whether Mr. Gong Tao and Feiyan want to lead their troops to march from that mountain area or not. The problem is that now another army is approaching from Dong'an County. If the Han Dynasty continues to stay in that mountain area, it should be attacked by both sides.

Cao Yan's arrival let Liu Yan know more information, but it's 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 second is that the small ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty may start preparations for the northern expedition. The fourth is that guanggucheng doesn't want to sit back and watch.

Do you know why Liu Yan returned the better Xiami of urban defense facilities? Just because the next thing to face will be an extremely bad situation.

In fact, no one took the northern expedition of the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty seriously. It was a semi disabled country like waste firewood. The officials of that country were good at taking ~ drugs, learning donkey barking and drinking with pigs, and let those guys with noble blood lead the army to fight? The real talent is suppressed because the Sima royal family is afraid that their throne will be usurped because of their improper position. They can only choose some stupid pigs to use.

"Of course, Sima royal family knows that choosing stupid pigs is not good for the country, but as long as they can continue to live and dream, stupid pigs are far less dangerous than Junjie." Liu Yan doesn't like Sima royal family. It's no secret in the Han Dynasty. He doesn't intend to hide this from Cao Yan: "since you've been in the small ~ court, you obviously know this."

Cao Yan, who has been active in the south of the Yangtze River in recent years, certainly knows what the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is. Now he is thinking about another thing, that is, he even wants to take refuge in Liu Yan. If he confirms the identity of his superiors and subordinates at the beginning, he must be a stupid pig, right?

Do you know what Cao Yan thinks? He unexpectedly found that either he was crazy or the world was crazy. How many counties did a person who didn't know the situation (referring to Liu Yan) attack? Yes, it was three counties in Qingzhou!

After making an excuse, Cao Yan thought he should be quiet. Since he found that Liu Yangen had no idea of the situation in Shijie Zhao state, he had doubts about his life like Mr. Gong Tao.

"That's ridiculous! A guy who doesn't know anything can cause the established fact of attacking three counties?" Cao Yan wanted to laugh wildly and shout something again and again. He patted himself on the chest and looked at the elite soldiers stepping on the neat steps with extremely strange eyes, but he was a little stunned: "is it an era when he is savage and strong enough to have a foundation?"

It seems that the time has come to the point of brutality, rationality and strength. It is not only who is strong, but who has the final say, whether it is Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin or Han?

Cao Yan can think that Liu Yan is an ignorant guy, or that the Han Dynasty is almost a bumpkin who has little knowledge and doesn't know where to come from. However, one thing must be recognized, that is, the Han Dynasty's system is very advanced... No, it should be said that it is incomparable and aggressive, and the Han army is really as fierce as rumored, There is no shortage of elite.

"As long as Liu Yan can survive this time..." Cao Yan took a deep breath: "then choose to take refuge!"
