The reason why Youzhou can have such complete confidentiality measures is because it has three intelligence agencies. Credit to the Civil Intelligence Agency. That is also a great contribution. These public information bureaus formed by local people are really eye-catching. No one from out of town can escape their eyes and ears. Any disturbance will be closely monitored. Therefore, no one can lurk for a long time to find out the news. Not even those masters who come and go. Those masters just need to stay there for a long time. If there are any abnormalities, they will also be reported to the Civil Intelligence Agency personnel. But Xuzhou today is different. Cao Cao has already established some forces in the local area. After he captures Xuzhou, those forces turn from light to covert and he wants to discover them again. That's not so easy. In this way, whether they are snooping for information or doing some sabotage as spies in the future, it will be a headache.
Dian Wei, who was standing next to Liu Ming and watching, also understood. And Liu Ye said with a sneer: "This guy Cao Cao is really evil! Leave this matter to me, my lord! I guarantee that Cao Cao's conspiracy will not succeed." Liu Ye spectacularly questioned the security bureau of the three major intelligence organizations in Youzhou. These matters should be handled by them in the first place. In addition, Liu Ye has only been in Youzhou for a short time, and his seniority is not as good as mine. Guo and Jia Xu, who also pretend to be an intelligence organization, are preparing to do a big job to increase their own. merit. Now in this situation, it's officially time for him to do something big!
Liu Bin nodded in agreement. Then he said: "You are worthy of being my right-hand man. Heroes really think alike. Leave this matter to Ziyang. Our next step of the plan can also start. In addition, Fengxiao sent someone to escort Cao Ren here to see him. Me. Doesn't Cao Cao want to know our military situation? Then let's give Cao Ren a good look. Let him come slowly. When Cao Ren finishes reading and comes to us, our Xuzhou strategy should also be completed. Alright." Everyone obeyed and left.
Day by day, things develop. It was just as predicted by Liu Bin. Before Cao Ren came to Jizhou City, some counties in Xuzhou close to Qingzhou. It had already been captured by the troops led by Guan Hai. The more than 10,000 soldiers and horses trained by Zhonglu were really vulnerable to Guan Hai's regular army! And the local powerful families in Xuzhou also expressed their attitude one after another! Support Youzhou! There are many walled cities that don't need to be taken care of, so just open and close them. Without the support of local forces and no backup from Cao Cao, Zhong Ray could only escape in despair.
Fortunately, Youzhou did not really capture Xuzhou completely this time. It only occupied some counties near Qingzhou, which is equivalent to setting a foothold in Xuzhou! This laid the foundation for the full occupation of Xuzhou in the future! Originally the strength of a Youzhou army. It is not impossible to capture the entire Xuzhou in one fell swoop, but this would be equivalent to cutting off all Cao Cao's escape routes. It's like completely breaking the skin. According to Cao Cao's personality, he will definitely fight to the death with the Youzhou Army! Now is not the best time for Youzhou to launch a full-scale attack. Naturally, Liu Bin and the others are not willing to fight with Cao Cao! After all, it is inevitable that there are still many forces that Cao Cao needs to harm! By wiping out Cao Cao first, wisdom allows other forces to take advantage in vain, and it is not conducive to Youzhou's overall plan! That's why the Youzhou Army tried its best to take advantage and try not to touch Cao Cao's bottom line!
And Cao Ren was dumbfounded by the local customs and customs that he watched along the way. Cao Ren really didn't expect that they were all common people of the Han Dynasty. Why is this gap so big? Look at the people under Liu Bin. Everyone is clean, neatly dressed, and full of energy. There was a smile all over that face. The streets and alleys are full of people. Looking at the people in the place where he stayed, most of them were in ragged clothes and listless. There were even two or three figures on the street. How can this compare? And that¡¯s all. The place where Cao Ren rested along the way made Cao Ren even more frightened. No confidence at all.
Along the way, Cao Ren was not like ordinary officials and envoys. Enjoy the hospitality in the service hall. Instead of going back to the resting place, they were all treated in the local military camp. At first, Cao Ren was secretly happy, thinking that he could take this opportunity to understand the true strength of the Youzhou Army. But Cao Ren was really frightened and frustrated the more he looked at it. The more I looked at it, the less I dared to look at it.
In each of the military camps where Cao Ren stayed. They were endless camps with countless soldiers. Although the movement inside the military camp was controlled and without the company of senior officials, Cao Ren was unable to move an inch and was unable to observe in detail. But based on Cao Ren's experience in leading troops, we can still see a rough idea. Especially when Cao Ren talked to the officials who came to escort him, he knew that these military camps were just the deployment of troops in one of the five major military regions in Youzhou. And the troops in these military camps are not divided into categories like heaven and earth, Xuan Huang, A, B, B, and D, like ordinary troops. It is divided by divisions. And in order to facilitate statistics and management, each unit is given a numerical number. And these numbers are all six digits! And Cao RenI also understand that these troop numbers are a whole military system, which is set up to quickly count troops and mobilize troops during war. You can't set it up just to deceive yourself.
Although Cao Ren¡¯s mathematics is not good. Not comparable to those scholars who specialize in this art. But Cao Ren loved studying formations the most, and he had a somewhat clear understanding of these numbers. Number according to this number. Then there are more than one million troops in Youzhou? The estimate of two million troops on his side is really a conservative number.
Not to mention Cao Ren¡¯s mood during this journey. What was once a huge ambition has now become a deep ocean. Cao Ren is so depressed! Cao Ren sighed secretly: If he didn't know Liu Bin's true strength, then he would still have the confidence to compete with Liu Bin in the future. But now I know Liu Bin's true strength. How will this battle be fought in the future? If you try your best, you are just fighting against a small army of others, and you will be exhausted. Is there any hope of winning? It seems that I will have to persuade Meng De and Liu Bin to coexist peacefully in the future. Anyway, Liu Bin seems to be greedy for money and not very ambitious. As long as Meng De has a good sense of proportion, he can still control the world with Liu Bin. In fact, Cao Ren knew that the number of the Youzhou troops was six digits. However, the first two digits of the unit number are the area code, and the last four digits are the symbols of which army, division, regiment, and battalion.
Full of frustration, Cao Ren came to Jizhou City and met Liu Bin. He summoned up energy to deliver the order: "General Hussars, Lieutenant Liu Bin will receive the order." Liu Bin cooperated very cooperatively by setting up the incense table and received the order respectfully. Cao Ren roused himself and read: "The emperor's edict said: General Cha Huqi, Taiwei Liu Bin has been in charge of Youzhou for a long time. The people are in good health. He is actually the pillar of the country. However, he rashly engages in war and raises troops. It violates the dignity of the court. He should be dealt with severely. . However, it was verified by the Prime Minister of the dynasty that it was a misunderstanding of the slander. He mistakenly believed that the Prime Minister of the dynasty instigated the assassination. His situation is forgivable. Therefore, the decree is issued to reconcile the previous suspicion. I hope that the wise ministers will cease their troops after seeing the decree. "
The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and even the sun is still red. However, the crowd that welcomed the imperial edict with great excitement and grandeur had completely changed their appearance. After writing this official article, there is no more boring nonsense. All the incense tables were removed, and everyone took their seats respectively. The next thing to talk about is the issue of real interests. As a result, the entire atmosphere immediately became extremely gloomy. If you don't have good physical fitness and haven't gone through this kind of training, just this dull atmosphere can make a person feel depressed.
Fortunately, ordinary people are not eligible to enter this hall now. Except for the well-trained human beings, the only ones who can stay here are people with very, very, very good physical fitness like Xiang Cao Ren. However, even though Cao Ren's physical fitness was very good, he was not suppressed from vomiting blood in this environment. But that doesn't mean that Cao Ren's psychological quality is also very strong. Cao Ren, who was already very depressed, couldn't help but feel a little creepy in this dull atmosphere. Time passed by, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn. Silence fell. Although there are no clocks to record time, there are no boring things like hourglasses and sunbursts here. But a cup of steaming hot tea with a fragrant aroma has already completely cooled down. This all warns the people present that time has passed for a long time.
Finally, compared to Liu Bin¡¯s group of senior counselors who were experienced in the art and had extremely refined skills in self-cultivation, Cao Ren¡¯s fragile mind could no longer withstand the huge silent pressure. Cao Ren couldn't help but cough slightly. But this cough, echoing in the silent hall, startled Cao Ren himself. Cao Ren said with some embarrassment: "Sir Taiwei, regarding your assassination, it really has nothing to do with my Prime Minister. I can guarantee this with my life." Liu Bin did not say anything but gave him a cold look. Cao Ren.
Guo Jia, who was standing next to him, said: "General Cao! You and I had a great time talking when we met each other that day. We all admire General Cao as a gentleman and an upright man. Why should we deceive each other today?" Cao Ren felt guilty and guilty. He said with some annoyance: "I"
But before Cao Ren could continue, Liu Bin snorted coldly. He interrupted Cao Ren and said: "Fengxiao, regardless of whether he is someone sent by the Prime Minister or not, since the court has already issued an order, there is no need to mention it anymore. Today is in chaos and the court cannot issue many orders. Since we are loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, we should Set an example for everyone in the world." "Yes." Guo Jia responded helplessly.
"Cao Ren is so ashamed!" You must know that when Cao Ren was young, he also had ideals and ambitions, and wanted to serve the court and protect his family and country. Peace the world. To appease the ambitious young people of Sheji. Only after all the vicissitudes of life were shattered, did he place his hope on Cao Cao. I hope that under the leadership of Cao Cao, the Cao family can rise and stand today, calm the world and restore purity to the universe. Therefore, Cao Ren was extremely ashamed. At the same time, he greatly admired Liu Bin's loyalty to the court. No?Cao Ren still gritted his teeth secretly and shouted: No! The Han Dynasty is almost over. Already completely fucked. It is impossible to make the world peaceful anymore. Only Mengde can restore peace to the world. (To be continued)
