In the military camp of Bingzhou, the small meeting of Lu Bu and others continued.

After going down to make some arrangements, Jia Xu came back and said as soon as he spoke: "Dong Zhuo's practice already means that it is impossible to coexist peacefully in the future, with our current forces, we can at most balance with him, and we can't annex him all at once, and I'm worried that Li Ru will still have some followers, if he acts rashly, it may fall short, for the sake of today, we can only do the back road first......

Lu Bu asked: "You have talked about the back road twice now, you must have a plan in your heart, then let me ask you, where is the back road?" ”

Jia Xu pointed to the north mysteriously, Lu Bu understood what he meant, but he had to hesitate and frown, "Why?" ”

Jia Xu began to analyze: "If it takes some time, the best place for the lord to operate should be in Chang'an, Guanzhong, but the time is not ripe, if he really goes there, there will be wolves and tigers before the time, and the alliance of small princes led by Han and Ma cannot be underestimated, Dong Zhuo is the biggest threat, and now the two sides can form an alliance, whether Han Ma wants to cut off Dong Zhuo's arm or Dong Zhuo wants to get rid of the trouble of his henchmen, he must take the main knife, and it is not a good thing to be sandwiched between the two sides." ”

"What about the state, the state is above Dong Zhuo, and it is the land of the Han Dynasty, close to the Hu people, and it is not peaceful."

"Why tranquility?" Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu as if he was stunned by his own question, and said with a smile: "If you really find a peaceful place, it may not be a good thing for the lord to go on for a long time, everyone wants stability, but now is a troubled world, the so-called born in sorrow and died in peace, if it is a long-term comfort, how can the lord expect this army under his command to become a real elite division that has experienced a hundred battles?" ”

Indeed, Jia Xu also reminded Lu Bu that the overall momentum of the Bingzhou Army is very strong now, but in fact, there are many problems, but they are not really exposed on the battlefield, even Gao Shun can't explain it clearly.

This is a very real question, who can guarantee the correctness of the truth without practice? In the same way, an army that has not been tested in the flames of war can only become a pseudo-strong army and a pseudo-elite army at most.

The so-called political guidance, brainwashing and indoctrination, etc., it is impossible to cultivate an iron army in Lu Bu's mind with these alone.

Lu Bu nodded, agreed with Jia Xu's statement, and said, "So Wenhe chose to merge with the state, because there are three benefits here?" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "It seems that the lord has already understood, one of these three benefits is that the annexation state is the place where the lord rises, and the prestige is deep and the power is entrenched, and it doesn't take too much time to gain a foothold or even completely control the overall situation; Second, the state can break away from the internal fighting in the Central Plains, let it fight each other, and let's be fishermen; The three states are the land of the border fortress, and they can sharpen the soldiers under their command so that they can always maintain their competitiveness, so that they will not gradually degenerate and become useless divisions. ”

At this time, Cang Ci, who was only listening all the time, also spoke up: "Actually, there is no fourth benefit, that is, there are often fierce generals and tiger soldiers in the land of the state, and the lord can recruit a real elite army to form the Flying Bear Army." ”

They all knew that the Flying Bear Army was what Lu Bu had always wanted to establish, a class that was almost invincible, but so far it had always been only an idea, and the reason was that the army under his command could not fully satisfy his choice.

But if it is the entire land of the Thorn History Department in Yimer Prefecture, and there are many fierce people there, I am afraid that he will not be able to find a candidate who is satisfactory to him?

……

Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, and Zhou, in an ordinary inn.

The Chen Gong and his entourage that Lu Bu and others talked about live here, and since they came to Bingzhou with Lu Bu's secret orders and expectations, Chen Gong has been very low-key to the outside world for such a long time.

But low-key is low-key, but he doesn't do nothing, but he knows very well in his heart that from the time when they just entered Shangjun, they have already fallen into the eyes of people with a heart, and if they want to do a good job of what Lu Bu explained in such a situation, first of all, they can't mess with themselves, they can stabilize themselves, and they can wait patiently, at least at that time, Lu Bu didn't urge Chen Gong and didn't think that Lu Bu would directly regard Bingzhou as a base camp and retreat.

And there are a lot of problems in this, after taking Lu Bu's mission and coming to Bingzhou, Chen Gong was mentally prepared to face the most difficult situation in his heart, but when he really got here, he found that the situation didn't seem to be as bad as he imagined, although it was only relative.

As an outsider and an unfamiliar face, no matter what, he must have fallen into the eyes of others, Chen Gong naturally couldn't make rash moves all at once, so the task of finding out the news and liaison was handed over to Jun Mu and the others.

Although there must be eyes secretly monitoring their movements, they are the head dragons, Jun Mu These people are also the head snakes, the so-called dragons have dragons and snakes, they are all born in Bingzhou rangers, and they are very familiar with the place here, and they have their own set of channels to get news, so these days they have become Chen Gong's eyes, ears and even hands in Bingzhou.

In this way, Chen Gong gradually became aware of the current situation in Bingzhou.

I have to say that it is definitely a good chess game for Lu Bu to let Jun Mu follow Chen Gong as a guide, at that time, between Jun Mu and Cangci, Lu Bu was more optimistic about Cangci, and undoubtedly Cangci did not live up to his expectations, the military affairs of the Bingzhou Army were handled by Lu Cui and Bailidu in an orderly manner, and it seemed that there was no need to insert one more person at this time, but until Cangci was inserted, some of the problems that had been ignored were also discovered, this is Cangci's strengths, He is the kind of governance talent that can make it orderly and become an institutionalized one, and of course, it is also what Lu Bu lacks the most; As for something similar to the camp roar that happened in the Bingzhou Army this night, naturally these three Wenchen can't be blamed, and even Lu Bu has to appreciate that they avoided and didn't come forward at that time, mainly because Lu Bu wanted to check and balance, these three people can almost be said to have mastered the economic lifeline and material resources of the Bingzhou Army today, if they are involved in other affairs of the army itself, even if they don't have this mind, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing unpredictable will happen over time.

Speaking of this Jun Mu is not simple, he is just a ranger on the surface, but while he can be civil and martial, his friends are also very broad, and the connections and secret energy in Bingzhou are amazing, Chen Gong can be clear about the situation in Bingzhou in such a short period of time, and according to this, every step of the plan is the foundation for him to do a good job, he is definitely a great contribution.

And what is the key point in the news that Jun Mu passed on to him?

Now that Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others are not there, the four counties of this state are dominated by Lu Bu's cronies Wei Yue and Wang Kai.

These two people are now the real power of the garrison of the four counties, Wang Kai is the military Sima, Wei Yue is the lieutenant of the five original counties, since Ding Yuan and Lu Bu left, they began to operate their own network in the four counties, although the time is not long only more than a year, but it is enough for them to almost wipe out the upper echelons of the garrison.

Of course, for most ordinary sergeants, they still regarded themselves as Lu Bu's subordinates, and they were not aware of these changes in the upper echelons.

In fact, if it takes a while, when these sergeants gradually get used to the absence of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, coupled with the subtle influence of Wei Yue and Wang Kai, maybe they will really be able to "change the dynasty".
