() For a long time, Yuan Shu was trapped in various things under his rule and was unable to fully communicate to the outside world, among which the aristocratic family and Shanyue were particularly prominent.

Now that the two major 'troubles' of the family and Shanyue have finally been completely resolved, Yuan Shu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, reforms in various places have begun to bear fruit.

Others may not understand the significance of this change, but Yuan Shu is very clear.

The biggest effect of this reform is not the separation of the military and the government, limiting the powers of the generals, and laying the foundation for the tranquility after the unification of the world, but the creation of an efficient political organization.

With this high-efficiency organization, if you occupy other states and counties in the future, you only need to send a few officials to calm them down. In this way, you can gather the forces of various places to the greatest extent, and it can be extended even after the world is unified.

This is the most important gain of this change.

"Hey! The interior is completely stable. Although the construction of various places involves a lot of energy, it is not harmful. Liu Rabbit (Liu Biao), it seems that we will have a war next year." Yuan Shu laughed.

With internal hidden dangers basically eliminated, Yuan Shu can concentrate all his energy on the outside world.

After calming down, Yuan Shu began to think about the general trend of the world.

Now it is [-], in February, Emperor Xian changed his Yuan to Xingping, and this year is the first year of Xingping.

In the first year of Xingping, there were not many major events. Except for Xuzhou and Yanzhou, there were only sporadic wars in other places.

Xuzhou, Cao Cao led the army to invade on a large scale, but it is a pity that Xuzhou City has not yet been captured, and the rear is already in chaos.

Lu Bu took advantage of the emptiness of Yanzhou and easily captured the important town of Puyang. Only Juancheng, Dong'a, and Fan County were defended by Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren and others, and did not fall. <Selling Liu Bei's face, he withdrew his troops and went back to aid Yanzhou.

Back in Yanzhou, Cao Cao immediately led his troops to attack Puyang, intending to drive Lü Bu out.

It's a pity that Lu Bu's title of the world's most powerful general was not blown out, and he was assisted by Chen Gong, just like a tiger with wings.

In a great battle, Cao Cao not only failed to expel Lü Bu, but also lost many of his troops. If Cao Cao's foundation in Yanzhou was not as deep as that of Lv Bu, he might be the one who was expelled.

The two armies were at a stalemate. At the end of autumn, locusts broke out everywhere, and Cao Jun was unable to get food, so he had no choice but to retreat to Juancheng and fight again in the next year.

At the same time, Xuzhou is also undercurrents.

After Cao Cao withdrew from the army, Tao Qian suggested again that Xuzhou should be handed over to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei refused to accept his resignation. He knew that he was a newcomer and knew nothing about the major forces in Xuzhou, and his own prestige was not enough. It would definitely be a thankless task to lead Xuzhou pastor at this time.

The major families in Xuzhou were also very resistant to this. They had just moved to the Chen family and shared a lot of benefits. At this moment, all the families hoped that Xuzhou could remain calm so that they could digest the benefits they had gained from the Chen family.

As for the Chen family, although Chen Deng and his son are optimistic about Liu Bei, this is not a small matter after all. It can even be said to be a life-long choice. Naturally, they should be treated with caution. The father and son want to observe more before making a decision.

Liu Bei didn't accept it, and his subordinates opposed it. Tao Qian was a weak person, so naturally he would not force orders.

In the end, Tao Qian set aside Xiaopei to station Liu Bei, and the matter was successfully concluded.

Liu Bei was quite satisfied with this. He first garrisoned Xiaopei, sorted out the relationship between the major forces, and then slowly plotted against Xuzhou.

As Liu Bei gained a foothold in Xuzhou, the undercurrent in Xuzhou became more turbulent.

……

After careful inventory for a while, Yuan Shu thought: "Cao Cao and Liu Bei are not to worry about for now. As for Lu Bu..."

Yuan Shu stroked the beard stubble on his chin, he was more inclined to subdue Lu Bu, not only Lu Bu, but the generals under Lu Bu also made Yuan Shu salivate.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were the two people Yuan Shu valued the most.

Among them, Gao Shun is the most eager.

Since the beginning of gaining foothold in Nanyang, Yuan Shu has always wanted to form a special army with extremely strong combat power. The number of people does not need to be too large. He usually protects Yuan Shu and can be used as a surprise soldier to remove obstacles for the army when necessary.

It's a pity that many generals under his command are unable to do this.

In the era of cold weapons, people were very strong, and they could travel hundreds of miles in heavy armor. If they wanted to enhance the physical strength of soldiers, the training methods of later generations might not be effective. The strength of reinforcements has been improved a lot, but it is still limited.

Gao Shun under Lu Bu's command had just such an ability, and he was able to train the strongest army under Lu Bu's command, which was trapped in the camp.

"Lu Bu must be subdued, it seems that we have to plan carefully." Yuan Shu thought secretly.

Others only saw that Lu Bu was capricious, but they didn't really understand Lu Bu.

Lv Bu lived in a frontier where the weak preyed on the strong. He believed in the supremacy of force, and dismissed those tricks. For example, Cao Cao asked: I have never had any enmity with you, so how can I seize my state and county?Lu Bu replied directly: "The city of the Han family, everyone has a share, but you can get it together?"

Although the world is in chaos now, and the princes from all over the country no longer follow the orders of the emperor, no one dares to speak out. Lu Bu's words can be called treason, but he just said them, which shows that he has no city.

In history, when Cao Cao captured Lu Bu, Liu Bei persuaded Cao Cao to kill him. Many people in later generations still regretted this. They said that since Liu Bei knew that Lu Bu would rebel sooner or later, he should be left behind, waiting to harm Cao Cao in the future.

Yuan Shu did not agree with this, instead he felt that Liu Bei had seen through Lu Bu and feared that he would be used by Cao Cao, so he spoke to Cao Cao and killed him to avoid future troubles.

Having this judgment strengthened Yuan Shu's determination to subdue Lu Bu. Liu Bei relied on a pair of eyes to see people and finally achieved supremacy. Yuan Shu may look down on Liu Bei, but he has enough trust in his eyesight.

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Shu still had no clue, and comforted himself: "It's still early, wait until later!" <.

……

As soon as Yuan Shu left, Wu Juncheng welcomed two new guests.

"Kong Ming, Shi Yuan! Why are you so late?" A young man with a sword in his waist and hips shouted from a distance.

"Hahahaha! I will definitely tell my uncle what Yuan Zhi said." An ugly boy laughed loudly.

"Yuan Zhi is right!" Another boy with a clear face and an extraordinary bearing said politely.

These three people are Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang. Since Xu Shu has a sword in his waist and hips, and Pang Tong has an ugly face, the handsome boy is naturally Zhuge Liang.

At the invitation of Lu Su, Xu Shu sent a letter to invite Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang to come to Wu County to meet. Unfortunately, the two were studying at the office of Pang Tong's uncle Pang De, so they had no time to separate themselves.

It wasn't until the end of the study that he set off for Wu County.

At this time, Pang Tong was only fifteen years old, and Zhuge Liang was only 13 years old. However, the ancients were precocious, and even ten-year-old children can be seen as old-fashioned.

Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were intelligent when they were young. Although they are young, they have already shown their talents and are highly respected by their friends.

"Shi Yuan! Don't you feel shameless for relying on your teacher?" Xu Shu stared at Pang Tong.

Although Xu Shu, Sima Hui and Pang Degong were both teachers and friends, and they were very casual with each other, Xu Shu always maintained enough respect in front of others, even if Pang Tong was Pang Degong's nephew, no exception.

"Of course not!" Pang Tong was not ashamed, but complacent.

"You!" Xu Shu pointed at Pang Tong, feeling helpless in his heart. He knew Pang Tong's character, and he would only be more depressed if he continued talking, so he stopped the topic wisely.

"Shiyuan, Kongming! Guangyuan and I met two great talents in Wujun City, and one of them, in my opinion, is no longer inferior to you two." Xu Shu said seriously.

"Oh?" Pang Tong was a little surprised. Although he was young, he was full of confidence in his own talent. Pang Tong didn't realize how much he was inferior to the great talents in the world. Even Zhuge Liang, he was never convinced.

Xu Shu's words aroused his interest.

Zhuge Liang on the side was indifferent, appearing indifferent.

"Who on earth deserves such praise from Yuan Zhi?" Pang Tong asked curiously, his words seemed to be boastful.

"You will know when we meet!" Xu Shu said mysteriously, calling the two of them to the city.

Pang Tong rolled his eyes, but he had no choice but to follow Xu Shu.

Zhuge Liang kept smiling all the time, and followed behind them in a personable manner.
