Chapter 1052 Turning Enemies Into Friends?

As for the other princes, they basically guarded their own small pieces of land, and generally there was no movement. However, the players were full of fighting spirit. Now it is only the end of May and the beginning of June, and the year has not yet passed halfway, but there are wars everywhere.

The domineering royal family in the north has taken control of the entire Lelang County and has become a veritable governor of a county. Although the population base of Lelang is too small, plus the people who have moved from Qingzhou to Lelang over the years, the total population is less than 500,000, even less than the number of people Huangfu Chaobo moved from the two counties of Qingzhou, but Lelang's location is still very good.

Lelang is connected to Goguryeo in the north, Nanwoju in the east, and the Three Han in the south. It can be said that they are all territories of foreign races. These places have a lot of population and territory, enough for the domineering royal family to go. Given time, it is estimated that he can also gather a state.

Through this promotion to Duke, Huangfu Chaobo felt that he had vaguely grasped the veins of player promotion in this game.

At the county level and above, five county towns can become the governor of a county, and the land of five counties can be the official of a state, whether it is a governor or a governor, or even a duke. As for the duke, it must be a prince, but it is not known what conditions this prince must meet.

For example, Lelang has 18 county towns. If the domineering royal family redivides it, it can be turned into three counties. That is to say, he only needs to occupy seven more county towns and divide it into five counties to meet the basic conditions of becoming a state. Of course, there are many other conditions, such as the number of famous generals, the level of the city, the number of population, the number of troops, etc. If all these are complete, the domineering royal family can successfully occupy the land of a state.

But for now, only Huangfu Chaobo knows these things, and he will not easily tell other players.

Another one is Zhou Wen from Le Ting in Liaoxi. Because he is within the sphere of influence of Gongsun Zan, a powerful vassal, he has been trapped in Le Ting and has no chance of development. However, Zhou Wen's subordinates have gathered a lot of generals in the past two years. In addition to his own transferred general, there are also military advisor Yu Fan, Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu, who were originally under Liu Yu, as well as Chen Wu, Xi Hong, and Miao Shang. Among all the allies of Huangfu Chaobo, it can be said that he has the most generals.

So many generals were wasted just staying there, making all the allies sigh that God is too unfair. However, this time, the battle of Jieqiao has sounded the alarm for Huangfu Chaobo. Since Gongsun Zan's defeat is inevitable, he must consider increasing Zhou Wen's strength, otherwise Longhua will become another Qingzhou County. So this time, after Huangfu Chaobo arrived at Leting, he will have a good talk with Zhou Wen and prepare to persuade her to send troops to Liaodong to prepare for the next thing.

Then there is the night-blooming jasmine of Langya. Judging from the latest news from the shadow, he should have realized the problem of Cao Cao, so he is also making intensive preparations. In fact, from another perspective, Huangfu Chaobo did not want him to be destroyed too quickly. If Cao Cao could be delayed for a little longer, it would be more beneficial to Huangfu Chaobo.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Guo Jia who was analyzing intelligence beside him and said, "How do you think Fengxiao should deal with the Langya Army of Tuberose?"

Guo Jia reacted very quickly. Although Huangfu Chaobo's random question suddenly came to him, he immediately reacted and said, "My lord, do you mean that you hope he can fight Cao Cao for a little longer?"

Huangfu Chaobo nodded, did not speak, but looked at Guo Jia quietly.

Guo Jia sat there, thinking for a moment and then said: "In fact, even if the lord doesn't say it, I am also ready to find a suitable time to talk to the lord about this matter. In Jia's opinion, the existence of night-blooming jasmine is more beneficial than harmful to the current Tang army!"

Then Guo Jia introduced the current situation of the two counties of Qingzhou to Huangfu Chaobo in detail. Although the Cao Cao army and the night-blooming jasmine army each occupied a county,

but only one county town each, while the other county towns in the county were occupied by both counties. For example, Pingchang, Gaomi, Yi'an, Zhuangwu and Tingxian in Beihai were occupied by the night-blooming jasmine army, while Luxiang, Dangli, Yeguo and Qucheng in Donglai were occupied by Xiahou Yuan.

The current situation of the two families, there are a total of 30 cities in the two counties of Qingzhou, and the two families just occupy half each, and the Cao Cao army has contributed much more than the night-blooming jasmine on the battlefield of Qingzhou, so Xiahou Yuan has some complaints about this. I believe it won't be long before the two families go to war, and if Cao Cao wants to go to war with the Tang army without worries, he will also consider annihilating the night-blooming jasmine first and then going back to fight the Tang army with all his strength. Therefore, as long as the night-blooming jasmine army exists for one day, Cao Cao cannot rest assured to go to war with the Tang army with all his strength.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Huangfu Chaobo stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the rolling river, and did not speak for a long time. Seeing this, Guo Jia walked to Huangfu Chaobo and said, "Jia knows that the lord is unwilling, but those who achieve great things are not particular about trivial matters..."

"I know too, but I am unwilling to let him go like this..." Huangfu Chaobo said slowly: "If he had not betrayed at the beginning, it is very likely that Cao Cao would have been destroyed now, and he would have seized the land of Xuzhou such as Donghai and Pengcheng, so why would there be today's events."

"But after the lord takes Yanzhou and Qingzhou, how to treat Xuzhou?" Guo Jia suddenly asked;

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned and immediately understood what Guo Jia meant. After he destroyed Cao Cao, his next target would definitely be Tuberose, so Tuberose knew that if he helped the Eastern Expeditionary Army destroy Cao Cao's army, he himself would be the next target, so he stood From his perspective, it would be better to join forces with Cao Cao to weaken the Eastern Expedition Army as much as possible and gain more time and opportunities for his own survival.

"If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them. To be able to reach this point, Tuberose must not be a simple person. Moreover, his plotter and talent are not mediocre. He must be able to think of this, so..." Guo Jia added at the side; "In fact, on the other hand, even if Tuberose does not betray the alliance, Cao Cao's army cannot be swallowed up in one bite. Instead, the two armies will become anxious and trapped in the war for a long time. On the contrary, it has given others an advantage. Although our army has given up on Qingzhou, the situation has become even more favorable. "

After saying this, Guo Jia remained silent. As a planner, he knew how to advance and retreat. His lord had actually approved his suggestion, but he was just not willing to admit it for the moment. He believed that when the fleet arrived at Shuanghe Eventually, things will be resolved.
