Chapter 156 Discussion - Yanzhou plots chaos in the surrounding areas
"If Yun Chang leads his troops out of the Lu State, will Yuan Gongluo stop him?" Obviously Liu Bei also has some ideas about the invisible alliance between them and Yuan Shu.
Although he did not directly speculate on the two major alliances of the Han Dynasty like Chen Xi and others, relying on his own intuition, Liu Bei could still feel who his allies were.
Since they are now going to fight Cao Cao in the land of Lu in Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's attitude has to be considered.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Xuande. Yuan Highway is controlled by Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou. We only need to eat the Yanzhou soldiers and horses that invade Lu before Yuzhou can mobilize its troops to return to Lu.”

Chen Xi did not interrupt the sound transmission link between Liu Bei and Yang Ji, but spoke directly so that everyone present could hear his words.
Although everyone could hear the sound transmission between Yang Ji and Liu Bei, after all, the two of them did not expect that their own sound transmission would not be captured by them.
Chen Xi continued as if he didn't see the big guy's eyes, "As for Yuan Benchu of Jizhou, he is also restrained by Gongsun Bogui of Youzhou.
The two states of Youzhou and Jizhou can be divided at this time. We won’t send many troops to stop our action against Yanzhou. If Jizhou insists on sending troops, we don’t mind helping Youzhou to reduce the pressure.”
When talking about Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Chen Xi’s eyes flashed. A hint of cold light showed his fear of Jizhou.
Even though some Jizhou aristocratic families, headed by the Zhen family, are planning to withdraw from Yuan Shao's influence, Yuan Shao's heritage should not be underestimated.
The saying that advisers and generals are like clouds in Hebei is not groundless. Even though their high-end combat power is very different from that in Jizhou, the number of middle-level backbones is somewhat small.
Even if Yang Ji takes action and trains a group of middle and low-level backbones, plus warriors from all over the place, plus the Yellow Turban Qushuai who is willing to stay in the army, the number is still slightly inferior to that of Jizhou .
However, even Jizhou, which has such a strong military, still has one biggest shortcoming, and that is the command of a large army that can unite these soldiers and horses.
If there really is a large army commander in Jizhou, even if it is just a floor tile-level army commander, then the battle between them and Jizhou will be fought.
Fortunately, they have more than one large army commander here. Even if a large army commander suddenly appears in Jizhou, they can catch them by surprise.
Liu Bei nodded. Although he didn't know much about Chen Xi's plan, he knew that as long as this year's summer harvest is over, Mount Tai would have the ability to fight alone in the world.
"When do you plan to send troops?" Liu Bei asked Chen Xi. Although Liu Bei did not intend to pay attention to what Chen Xi was trying to do, he still wanted to know what he should know.
Chen Xi looked at Yang Ji and wanted to ask his opinion. Unfortunately, Yang Ji just wanted to fish and didn't want to use his brain at all.
Anyway, he only needs to command the troops to occupy Yanzhou and prevent Cao Cao from running away.
Especially to prevent Cao Cao from running away, otherwise Cao Cao might really run away from their encirclement if they are not careful. After all, Boss Cao is also very good at running away, but he is not as famous as Uncle Liu Huang.
Seeing Yang Ji ignoring him, Chen Xi didn't pay attention. After all, it wasn't the first time.
Chen Xi looked at Lu Su, Guo Jia and others. These people are also people who know the military, and they must be able to come up with a more suitable plan. By then, he will not have to die so many brain cells.
But when Chen Xi’s eyes were on Lu Su, Lu Su took out a stack of official documents, then took out his pen and ink and began to process the official documents.
Since he discovered that he could use the excuse of still processing official documents to prevent Chen Xi from sending him tasks, Lu Su brought his own official documents with him to prevent Chen Xi from sending tasks at any time. Chen Xi's mouth twitched, and then he looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia is now the intelligence chief of Taishan. If there is anyone in Taishan who can give advice in this regard, it is Guo Jia.
When Guo Jia saw Lu Su taking out the official document, the corner of his mouth moved, and finally said to Chen Xi, "Due to various accidents, Yanzhou's grain production this year is considered finished.
So Yanzhou must be sure We will focus on a certain grain-producing area, at least to ensure the rations of the soldiers, otherwise Cao Mengde's position as governor of Yanzhou will not be stable.
Don't think about the grain-producing areas in the west and north, no. What Yanzhou can eat now, even if it eats, may not be of any use.
In other words, the only places Yanzhou can covet are Xuzhou and Yuzhou.
However, our Taishan Mountain is the gateway from Yanzhou to Xuzhou, so there is only one place Yanzhou can choose, and that is the Lu State in Yuzhou. ”
If Yanzhou just wanted to acquire a grain-producing area, they might not choose Lu State, but who made Yanzhou want more than just a grain-producing area?
General Taishan Liu Bei After Qingzhou was captured, who was most worried was probably Cao Cao in Yanzhou next door.
Qingzhou had more than two million people. It was taken as soon as it was said to be taken, not to mention the problem of food shortage. None of it happened.
Although Cao Cao knew that this was because the grain production of Zhao Yun’s field command in Mount Tai was sufficient, and the Mi family, one of the five wealthy merchants, purchased grain from everywhere, and Tao Qian of Xuzhou was able to withstand it. These grains are consumed.
But as long as the people of Qingzhou have a bumper harvest after this summer's harvest, then Mount Tai will be barely self-sufficient in food.
After solving the food problem, the newly harvested Qingzhou was barely pacified. Although Qingzhou was not completely digested, it could definitely draw more troops.
It is hard to say whether Taishan will still be willing to maintain the current peaceful situation with surrounding forces.
"Yanzhou probably wants more than just a grain-producing area. After we take Qingzhou, Cao Mengde and others in Yanzhou will probably be the most uncomfortable." Yang Ji suddenly said.
Liu Bei, Chen Xi and others were stunned for a moment. They did not expect that Yang Ji would be willing to use his brain in this regard. This is an extremely rare thing.
Chen Xi's mind turned, "You mean, Cao Mengde is very likely to unite with other princes to suppress us, or open up the situation from another direction?"
"I don't know, I just said it is possible. That's it, the rest is your business." Yang Ji spread his hands.
After hearing the conversation between Yang Ji and Chen Xi, everyone present frowned. They did not believe that the surrounding princes did not feel their pressure.
“In other words, they will provoke our surrounding princes to greatly increase or decrease their strength to attract our attention.
No matter what it is, Yanzhou will It will definitely take some time for development," Yang Ji said again.
