Chapter 309
Chapter [-] Shangdang Prefect
"If this is the case, tell Lu Bu not to enter Taiyuan County. Don't be in a hurry. It's the same with you. Don't fight Tang Jun if you are not sure. I will kill the high-ranking officials first and eat Shangdang to control Hukouguan."

In the end, Liu Xie gave an instruction that when fighting Li Shimin, he must attack him in all directions. It is unwise to fight him alone on one line.

"It's Your Majesty! I understand!"

Hanging up the phone, Liu Xie seemed to be thinking about something, Xu Shu who was on the side couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty! There is something I don't know if I should say it, but I have always wanted to say it."

Liu Xie raised his head and glanced at Xu Shu: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. You have been with me as the servant of Huangmen for almost half a year, don't you know me?"

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Your Majesty! An enemy's enemy may not be a friend. Whether it's a Black Mountain bandit or a Xianbei Putou, they may also be our enemy. They will not be so stupid. They are willing to help your majesty for nothing, otherwise your majesty will have to spend it." The cost must be enormous.

Take the Black Mountain bandits as an example. It is okay to let them attack Jizhou, so that they can occupy rich cities and plunder the powerful landlords. However, they may not be willing to attack Shangdang from the east. If there is too much, it will be difficult for His Majesty to take it back. "

Liu Xie didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Shu's gourd, so he frowned slightly and said, "Finish the words at once."

"It's Your Majesty!" Xu Shu said respectfully, and continued: "Your Majesty, I heard that when the captain-in-law went to the party last year, he first accepted Captain Shan Shiqi in the Shangdang, and then passed through Hukou Pass easily. It's not possible..."

Last year, Zhao Yun and the others were able to pass through the Hukou Pass because the generals guarding the pass were old with Shan Shiqi, and Xu Shu's intention was also obvious, that is, to secretly contact those generals and ask them to switch and surrender.

Liu Xie showed a slightly happy expression, but he asked with hidden worries: "But I heard that the general guarding the gate is a member of Yuan Shao. I am afraid that this gate cannot be opened. It is Tunliu City, and the entire northern part of the Shangdang is full of high-ranking cadres." If you want to use the influence of Zilong and Bian Xiang, it will not work."

Xu Shu didn't give up, but smiled and said: "Your Majesty! It's easier because Gao Gan and Yuan Shao's people control the main position of the checkpoint city, and it's easier for Tian Hu's old department to buy secretly. They must have resentment towards Gao Gan Yuan Shao, The dissatisfaction is even stronger, and now he is deeply suspicious. As long as His Majesty promises some favors, he will definitely be willing to be loyal to His Majesty.

It will definitely be useful when it comes to Guan Jian. "

"Oh! It seems to be true." Liu Xie thought about it carefully and found that what Xu Shu said was very reasonable, so he called Shan Shiqi, Ma Ling, and Bian Xiang over. After asking, there were actually some of them in the north. The acquaintance said:
"Since you, Xu Shu, brought up this matter, I will leave it to you. Ma Ling will give you instructions first. Without him, you can't contact those people."

"It's Your Majesty!" Xu Shu said happily, and immediately retreated to arrange tasks for Ma Ling and get in touch with them.

Liu Xie joined Xu Rong, and the army advanced to Shangdang, captured the counties in the south, and began to gather in Changzicheng.

Of course, Hukou Pass is heavily guarded, patrolling day and night, and there will inevitably be a lot of losses if you want to attack by force.

The Han army fought several times, and the Yuan army guarding the pass did not leave the pass to fight, while the troops stationed in high-ranking cadres guarded Jiangshui, relying on the benefits of the river, and did not dare to let the Han army cross the river.

Since Dong Zhao came here, Liu Xie has also communicated with him every day and learned more about him. As soon as he arrived at the eldest son, Liu Xie said: "Mr. Gongren, look, this way, the population of Shangdang is sparse, and there are many villages. It has been desolate and has been devastated, and now it’s time for a big war, someone needs to take care of it and help the people here to tide over the difficulties, in a few months it will be severe winter, and the most difficult days for the people are coming.”

Liu Xie didn't want to capture Shangdang and get a piece of deserted land.

Dong Zhao nodded: "Your Majesty's concern is that the Shangdang is a poor people's ridge, and has been harmed several times. There are constant wars and chaos. It is in desperate need of recuperation."

"That's it! I don't know what to do with Mr. Gongren as the prefect of the Shangdang. It must be governed by someone with great talent. Otherwise, when will the people here come out and live a good life." Liu Xie said sadly.

Dong Zhao paused, thinking in his heart, Shangdang prefect, this is not easy to do, most people don't want to deal with this mess.

After all, there is still fighting here, and the entire Shangdang has not yet been recovered. Next, Taiyuan County will be attacked, and there will also be wars, and the war will involve Shangdang.

Seeing that Dong Zhao didn't reply, Liu Xie continued, "Mr. Gongren's great talent is more than enough to be the prefect of the Shangdang. When the time comes to capture Taiyuan County and wipe out Li Shimin, Mr. Gongren will have to help govern Jinyang. After entering Taiyuan County, places like Yunzhong and Yanmen should be taken back by my big man as soon as possible, how can a complete Bingzhou be torn apart by other people's occupation."

Dong Zhao was taken aback, the emperor's hint was a bit big, he would become the prefect of Shangdang if he defeated Shangdang, the prefect of Shangyuan if he defeated Taiyuan, and the prefect of Bingzhou if he defeated Bingzhou...

Dong Zhao didn't know the meaning so clearly. This was treated according to the rhythm of his confidantes. It depends on his own choice. The emperor's courage is great!Sure enough, he had the courage of the emperor of Zhongxing, and immediately said: "My minister, Dong Zhao, is willing to share your majesty's worries and problems."

"Good, good, good! With fairness and benevolence governing the Shangdang, the Shangdang will recover soon." Liu Xie laughed.

Dong Zhao used to be the prefect of Julu and Wei Commanderies under Yuan Shao. His management was well organized and his governance was very good, especially in the aspect of chaos control. There is nothing wrong with the party.

Originally, Liu Xie wanted to release Xu Shuwai to be the prefect of the Shangdang, but after thinking that Xu Shu had no experience in governing the local area, the Shangdang area was too chaotic, and he was afraid that he would not be competent, so he decided to stay with him and do more. Let's offer advice and staff.

Now that he was the prefect of Shangdang and won the trust of Liu Xie, Dong Zhao spoke more frankly and directly: "Your Majesty! The throats of Shangdang are Hukou Pass and Tianjing Pass, and these two passes are connected to Hanoi County. The stability of Hanoi is related to the safety of the party and the army, so I have something to say, please take it seriously."

Liu Xie said: "If you have anything to say, just say it! What you can do will be done for you."

"Your Majesty, you also know that just after General Xu Rong entered Hanoi, Yuan Shao received the news that the increase of troops at Hukou Pass was actually a report from someone inside Zhang Yang's body. This has to be guarded against. A strong general needs to be guarded at Tianjing Pass to avoid our army's embarrassment. The road is not stable, otherwise the entire Shangdang will be like a rootless duckweed.

In addition, Hanoi County needs the Central Army to guard the ferry. Once something happens in Hanoi, the Luoyang army can enter. At that time, it is best to maintain contact with Tianjingguan to avoid breaking the logistics line when the army is fighting, otherwise the situation will become very critical. "

The three armies did not move, and the food and grass went first. Most of the supplies of the Shangdang army came from the front line of Hanoi. Once something happened in Hanoi, the Shangdang army was bound to be restricted.

After the leak, Dong Zhao was not optimistic about Zhang Yang's internal affairs. He felt that it was a time bomb, because he knew that Zhang Yang's personal ability was not very strong. There are not many troops in his hands, and if the generals below are reversed, he will not be able to hold back.
