    Jia Xu felt that if Yuan Shao did not come to provoke Liu Yu, but went south, Liu Zhe might not even look at him, but

    After Jia Xu read the map, he realized how much land Liu Zhe occupied outside the Great Wall.  Outside the fortress, heading north, Liu Zhe's forces had crossed Baitan (later Luanping) and reached Monan (later Inner Mongolia).  To the east, the power has expanded to the vicinity of Kuanzi City (later Changchun), and even Goguryeo was beaten into dogs.

    However, after Jia Xu read it, he was a little confused. He went to Guo Jia and expressed his doubts.

    Although the land outside the Great Wall is large, compared to the Central Plains, the terrain is remote and the environment is harsh, making it difficult for humans to survive. What is the use of these places that have been worked so hard for?

    "How could it be useless?" Guo Jia smiled when he heard this. He pointed to the guards standing guard outside and asked Jia Xu: "Do you know the clothes they wear when they are on duty at night?"

    Jia Xu nodded. It¡¯s almost November now and the weather is starting to get colder. It¡¯s already very cold at night. The guards who are on duty at night have to wear thick clothes.

    When Jia Xu saw the clothes they wore for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh that the rich people in Youzhou were all made of wool.

    "These are rare things in the Central Plains, but now they are actually equipped with soldiers.  Although they are only equipped for trusted guards, there are enough.

    Guo Jia explained: "Their wool coats all come from outside the Great Wall. Although the foreigners outside the Great Wall are not good at planting, they are good at raising cattle, sheep and horses. They can provide us with a large number of war horses, furs, meat and other specialties. The soldiers in the army  Meat is provided outside the Great Wall. Now the division of labor in those places has been clearly defined. Some tribes specialize in raising horses, some specialize in raising cattle, and some raise sheep. The Lord said that as long as they are given a stable environment, these foreigners want to rebel.  It¡¯s impossible to fight back.¡±

    "There are many specialties beyond the Great Wall that are not found in the Central Plains. Didn't my lord give you a coat made of mink hair some time ago? This mink coat is a specialty of Goguryeo. Do you know how much it is worth?"

    Speaking of the mink coat, Jia Xu was deeply moved. Liu Zhe was so generous when he made the purchase. Although he didn¡¯t know the exact price, he thought it would not be cheap.

    Guo Jia smiled and said, "Just one stone of food."

    "What?" Jia Xu said in shock: "Why is it so cheap?"

    Guo Jia smiled and said: "This is a bargain for my lord. Half of Goguryeo's territory has been occupied by us. If they don't surrender, they will be subjugated. These mink clothes were obtained in exchange for grain with the people of Goguryeo. Goguryeo has a harsh environment and food  It¡¯s a desperately needed item for them.¡±

    "My lord sent people to trade with them. They produced a large number of special products such as ginseng and mink clothes. These seemed cheap, but when sold to the Central Plains, their value often increased a million times. I heard the profiteer Su Shuangna say that a mink clothes can be sold in  Zhongyuan can be sold for a few hundred gold, and the better ones can be sold for thousands of gold. You can imagine the difference. Is a place like this still useful to us?"

    Jia Xu was so shocked that he had nothing to say. In such a place, even if Liu Zhe said he wanted to give up, his men would definitely disagree.

    Guo Jia looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "It just so happens that it's time to let you know some things."

    During the time when Jia Xu came to Youzhou, many things began to be gradually handed over to him.  Liu Zhe could see his loyalty, and he also had the same terrifying intelligence as Guo Jia. Therefore, Liu Zhe asked Jia Xu and Guo Jia to work together. The two were mainly responsible for military strategy.

    Almost all of Liu Zhe¡¯s generals are high in force but low in intelligence. This low intelligence, of course, refers to strategy.  They can charge head-on into the battle, but they can't come up with clever strategies to defeat the enemy.

    Once you encounter someone who is good at trickery on the battlefield, it is easy to fall into an ambush. Zangba is an example.  Therefore, when Liu Zhe's men go on an expedition, they usually go out with a combination of generals and counselors, and the counselors are the main ones. On the surface, the killing is left to the generals, while the counselors do the planning behind it.

    According to the military of later generations, Liu Zhe created a department called the Staff Department. People who can join this staff department must have an intelligence of more than 90, and Guo Jia is the chief of staff, that is, the military advisor sacrifices wine, Xi Zhicai, Xun  Yu, Xun You, Xu Shu, and Chen Gong were all members of the staff department.  Now Jia Xu has also been inducted. Although the current staff is small, it has gathered the smartest counselors under Liu Zhe.

    Guo Jia said to Jia Xu: "We have a staff here, and the lord has agreed to let you and Tian Feng Jushu join the staff. However, the two of them are currently engaged in important matters and cannot come here for the time being. And now it is only you and me.  The two of you are here, while everyone else is busy."

    Jia Xu was secretly surprised, but nodded. This was the first time he heard the name of the General Staff Department.But he could guess a little bit from the word "staff officer".

    "According to my lord's wishes, the staff department is to sort out intelligence, organize logistics, and formulate war plans. The overall meaning is to manage the army for the lord. Now that we are in the improvement and exploration stage, it is just right for you to participate."

    After listening to this, Jia Xu roughly understood how Liu Zhe's subordinates operated, that is, the military and political affairs were separated, and each person was responsible for political affairs and military affairs
