Chapter 571
Li Yan and others also looked at Guo Jia with confusion and curiosity.
On the contrary, Seeing Xun You You, Xu Shu, Tian Feng, and others smiled knowingly when they heard this.
Obviously, they all vaguely guessed something.
Guo Jia smiled and replied: "Because, Lu Bu will definitely not be Cao Cao's opponent in the end;"
"And after he is defeated by Cao Cao, the places he can eventually flee to are nothing more than Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, or Jizhou, Bingzhou;"
"Among them, Bingzhou is barren, Qingzhou is chaotic, and Chen Gong under Lu Bu will definitely not suggest he go there!"
"Jizhou has Yuan Shao, and Chen Gong has ambitions, so he will not suggest Lu Bu go there either!"
"Yuzhou is Cao Cao's territory. If Lu Bu goes to Yuzhou, Cao Cao will not let it go!"
"In the end, the choice Lu Bu can make, and the best choice, is to go to Xuzhou to bully Tao Qian!"
"Therefore, I said that Xuzhou will also be restless next!"
"Actually, even without Lu Bu, within 1 year, Cao Cao should also use troops against Xuzhou, attempting to take Xuzhou."
"He must know that the time left for him to develop is running out!"
"If he cannot take advantage of the 2 years when the Lord is cultivating talents and will not expand externally to occupy enough territory and expand enough troops, then he will not even have the chance to fight the Lord head-on."
Others' eyes lit up when they heard this: "That's true!"
"As expected of you! Fengxiao! You see things long-term!"
"Hehe! It's alright!"
Guo Jia smiled proudly.
"I just hope Mengde won't be angered to death! But this is indeed beneficial to us!"
Su Xuan smiled and then looked at Seeing Xun You You and asked: "Gongda! How is the issue of choosing agents in Guanzhong and other places going?"
Seeing Xun You You immediately replied: "Reporting to the Lord, Guanzhong is the easiest to handle, because General Xu Rong is there, and externally, we have not yet leaked the news that General Xu Rong has defected to the Lord"
"So, I chose to use General Xu Rong as the apparent agent in Guanzhong, gather the Xiliang troops in Guanzhong, gradually take the entire Guanzhong region, and stabilize Guanzhong for this!"
"In addition, I am also prepared to let Mr. Jia Xu assist General Xu Rong in handling government affairs, strategizing, etc., and also, Jia Yi will secretly cooperate with General Xu Rong and Mr. Jia Xu. What do you think, my Lord?"
To prevent other warlords from being suspicious, and this person can really subdue the Xiliang troops, no one is more suitable than Xu Rong.
"Good choice!"
Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Xu Rong is indeed the most suitable candidate!"
"Jia Xu and Jia Yi are also very suitable! I will personally send letters to the three of them separately, issue orders, and let them listen to your arrangements for the time being!"
"In addition, after Xu Rong and the others integrate the Xiliang troops in Guanzhong and stabilize their footing, they must start guarding against Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou!"
"The secret guards in Liangzhou sent news that they are already a bit restless! Let Xu Rong and the others be careful!"
Dong Zhuo is dead, Guanzhong is in chaos, and ambitious people like Ma Teng and Han Sui naturally cannot sit still.
It's just that before, Su Xuan wouldn't care.
But now that he is preparing to implement the agent plan, he cannot let Ma Teng and Han Sui take advantage of the loopholes.
"Yes!"
Seeing Xun You You bowed and took the order: "I have already considered this point! I will remind General Xu Rong and the others!"
"It's just, my Lord, in this way, do we still need to continue to absorb the population from Guanzhong to Jingzhou?"
Su Xuan shook his head: "No need to forcibly absorb them anymore. It completely depends on the subjective wishes of the people in Guanzhong!"
"If they are willing to move to Jingzhou, then we will arrange them well;"
"If they are unwilling, then just settle them on the spot!"
"Anyway, Guanzhong is vast and sparsely populated now, and the population has decreased a lot. Even if we cannot implement new policies there for the time being, there is no need to worry about the lack of land in the short term."
"Of course, be careful to remind Xu Rong and Jia Xu that they cannot let those aristocratic clans and powerful families in Guanzhong continue to encroach on those vacant ownerless lands, and even, they must spit out the ownerless lands they swallowed before, return them to official ownership, and then temporarily rent them to refugees without land to plant;"
"The form of people's reclamation can be adopted to meet the food needs of the Guanzhong Corps and reduce the burden for us."
In this way, not only is there no need to continue to secretly transport food to the Guanzhong region for a long time, but it is even possible to obtain surplus food from Guanzhong, which is simply achieving multiple goals at once.
"This idea is good!"
Tian Feng's eyes lit up: "I think, not only Guanzhong, but Bingzhou, Han Zhong, and other places can do this in the future."
"In the form of people's reclamation, it can not only ensure the food production problem in these areas, but also ensure that the people in these areas do not starve to death as much as possible;"
"And it will not make the warlords of the world suspect that they are our agents."
"Indeed!"
Seeing Xun You You also nodded affirmatively: "Then let's do it according to what the Lord said!"
"By the way! My Lord! For Han Zhong, if we want to take this place, I have to borrow a talent from the Lord!"
"Hmm?"
Su Xuan looked at Seeing Xun You You and asked: "Who? Daoist Zuo Ci?"
After all, the one occupying Han Zhong is Zhang Lu, the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect of Taoism.
To deal with such a Taoist figure, it is naturally suitable for Mr. Daoist Zuo Ci, who is also a Taoist, to do it.
"My Lord is wise!"
Seeing Xun You You praised: "It is indeed Mr. Yuanfang! Zhang Lu of Han Zhong is the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect of Taoism. It will be very difficult to subdue him with ordinary means;"
"But if it is in the name of Taoism, with Mr. Daoist Zuo Ci as the leader, and with some divine techniques and cultivation resources from the Merit Pavilion of the Lord as a guide, there is no worry that Zhang Lu will not submit."
"Once Han Zhong is taken, the Shu land of Yizhou will be like taking something out of a bag in the future, much easier!"
Of course, during this period, it is best to infiltrate key passes such as Jianmen Pass.
In this way, taking the Shu land in the future will be even easier.
"Can!"
Su Xuan nodded in agreement: "I will notify Mr. Daoist Zuo Ci later and let him cooperate with your plan!"
"In addition, for Bingzhou, I actually want to send a fierce general and a strategist to help, but currently the fierce generals and strategists I can bring out are all on the surface, and other warlords basically know their information, so it is not good to send people!"
"I can only select some people proficient in military and political capabilities from the secret guards to go there to help Jia Shijiu."
"But just like this, it may not be enough, so you need to pay more attention to Bingzhou in the future, Gongda, and give Jia Shijiu and the others more guidance and suggestions, understand?"
He now regrets putting the fierce generals and strategists under his command on the surface.
Of course, he didn't expect to come up with such a plan at the beginning.
Similarly, he must also consider the feelings of the fierce generals and strategists under his command.
If he really hides them, they may not be able to accept and understand.
After all, capable people all want to make a name for themselves.
People who can endure obscurity are ultimately a very small minority.
"Yes!"
Seeing Xun You You immediately took the order: "I will pay more attention!"
Next, the whole world seemed to start entering the fast lane.
Lu Bu initially took a lot of advantage under Cao Cao and almost completely defeated Cao Cao once.
But gradually, the situation began to be reversed by Cao Cao, and Lu Bu began to retreat steadily.
In the end, he had to flee to Xuzhou.
Attempting to seek Tao Qian's shelter.
As a result, he was refused by Tao Qian as expected.
Because Tao Qian was afraid!
Afraid that Lu Bu would eventually occupy the magpie's nest and grab his Xuzhou.
After all, Lu Bu's reputation is not very good, and the key is that the strength of Lu Bu and his troops is very strong.
It would be strange if he wasn't wary.
"Hateful! This Tao Qian is simply unappreciative! Since he is unwilling to accept us, don't blame me for being impolite! Attack!!!"
After being rejected, Lu Bu was directly furious, and with the support of Chen Gong, directly launched an attack on Xuzhou.
In just a few days, he took Xiaopei and other places, directly approaching Xiapi City.
For a time, Tao Qian was terrified and hurriedly asked other warlords for help.
It just so happened that at this time, Liu Bei had just helped Kong Rong repel the siege of the Yellow Turban remnants in Beihai.
After Kong Rong received Tao Qian's request for help, he thought about it, found Liu Bei, handed Tao Qian's letter to Liu Bei and said: "Xuande! I know you are a benevolent person! Recently, Tao Qian of Xuzhou was attacked by Lu Bu and is already in danger! He asked me for help!"
"But I know I am powerless, but you are different, Xuande! You are a capable person! You have two great generals under your command. If you are willing to support Tao Qian to resist Lu Bu, I am willing to support you with three thousand troops. What do you think?"
Kong Rong actually had two purposes in doing this.
First, he did not want Lu Bu to really defeat Tao Qian and occupy Xuzhou.
