"As for the martial arts examination, I will leave it to Li Jing, assisted by Li Siyuan, Li Cunxu, Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang!"
Five people were nominated for the civil examination, and Li Xiang also nominated five people for the martial arts examination.
The martial arts examination is divided into two subjects: art of war and martial arts. Therefore, among the five people sent by Li Xiang, there are both masters of war art like Li Jing and martial arts masters like Zhao Yun. The remaining three people, Li Siyuan, Li Cunxu, and Xu Huang, can both charge into battle and form troops.
"Mao Xiang, please make your people more vigilant in the past few days and don't let people from other princes sneak in!" Li Xiang ordered the person on the left.
During the grand imperial examination event, Sizhou and even the imperial capital Luoyang, there was a large flow of people in these days, which was an excellent time to plant a large number of spies. Moreover, if someone takes advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate Li Xiang's power through the imperial examination, it will be a joke!
Li Xiang believed that if he were in the position of other princes, he would never miss this opportunity. The other princes are not fools, and Li Xiang may not be able to regard them as fools. If he really treats them as fools, then Li Xiang himself will become a big fool!
"Don't worry, my lord, the floating house will not disappoint my lord!" Mao Xiang said with a straight face.
Li Xiang nodded slightly. Although there have been some minor mistakes in the Floating Water House over the years, it has never missed a beat at critical moments and was able to complete what Li Xiang ordered with quality and quantity.
Moreover, from the establishment of the Floating Water House to the present, it has made a lot of achievements, both overtly and covertly. Li Xiang sees all these things.
"By the way, what's the situation in Yu and Qing?" After Xun Yu retreated, Li Xiang waved his hand to Xing Tian to guard the door. Only Li Xiang and Mao Xiang were left in the room, and then he asked Things that matter most to you.
Even within Li Xiang's power, only a limited number of people knew about Li Mi and Su Qin. After all, the more people know, the more danger they will be exposed to, and the more likely the plan will fail.
Li Mi from Yuzhou and Su Qin from Qingzhou are Li Xiang's biggest secret chess. Li Mi can interfere with the situation in the four states of Yu, Yan, Xu, and Jing, and Su Qin can also have an impact on the four states of Qing, Hebei, Yan, and Xu in the future.
As long as the situation in Qingdao, Henan and other surrounding states has developed too violently recently, Li Xiang cannot help but be more concerned.
"Lord, I'm afraid Sun Bofu in Yuzhou won't be able to hold on for too long..." Mao Xiang reported little by little information about the war situation in Yuzhou. The current war situation in Yuzhou almost all revolves around Sun Boxu's family.
As Yuan Shu sent Xian Zhen and Jiang Xiaobai to join the battle, the Sun family was retreating on several fronts. After all, Sun Wu was only one person, and he did not have the ability to clone himself. He could take care of the situation here, but he was powerless to take care of the situation there.
No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to fight against Cao Cao here and at the same time command other Sun generals to deal with Xian Zhen remotely!
Especially since Yuan Shu joined the war, Zhao Kuangyin was no longer willing to wait any longer. There are more wolves and less meat. Sun Ce is the meat, and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Zhao Kuangyin are the three evil wolves. The three evil wolves are fighting for this piece of meat. Naturally, they are competing to see who can eat it faster and who can eat more. of meat.
"Lord, according to detectives, Sun Ce has not shown his face for many days. However, Sun Wu is very strict around Sun Ce's tent and has not yet found out completely accurate information." After Mao Xiang hesitated for a moment, he still reported this one Unexplored information was revealed.
After hearing the news, Li Xiang also fell into silence. The information contained in this news was not small, and he needed to sort it out before he could make a decision.
The implication of Mao Xiang's words was that Sun Ce's body could have collapsed or even something had happened, otherwise Sun Ce would not have failed to show up at such a critical time, and would have hidden the news so tightly.
This situation is normal. His body is seriously injured, and he has to work hard to deal with this mess. It is not surprising that he can't stand it. No one's body is made of iron!
"Mao Xiang, send some people to secretly contact the important figures of the Sun family and their important civil and military personnel to see if they can be used for me!" After thinking for a moment, Li Xiang ordered Mao Xiang.
In fact, Li Xiang had already anticipated that the Sun family would develop into this situation. Li Mi intended to use Sun Ce to divert Yuan Shu's attention from Liu Xiu, and Li Xiang acquiesced.
This is Li Mi's way of survival, and it is also the reason why Li Mi has been able to get along so well in Yuan Shu's forces, and has not aroused suspicion among people within Yuan Shu's forces so far. When Li Mi helped Li Xiang achieve what he wanted to achieve, the methods he used would also bring certain benefits to Yuan Shu.
Moreover, whether the Sun family is destroyed or not will have little impact on the overall situation. Although the three families of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Zhao Kuangyin will definitely become stronger by devouring Sun Ce, they will definitely not grow into a giant.
Moreover, these three princes are all princes from the three states of the Central Plains. The disadvantages of the terrain are destined to make their development path more difficult than that of other princes. In addition, Yuan Shu already had a lot of internal problems, so he had nothing to worry about.
But the south is different. Once Zhu Yuanzhang devours Jingnan and severely damages the Xiang clan, Zhu Yuanzhang will almost have the basis to unify the south. Therefore, Li Xiang must allow Liu Xiu to free up power to restrict Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although Jingbei is weak at this time, Li Xiang is confident enough that as long as Liu Xiu can still spare his strength, he will definitely try his best to restrict Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, they were both southern princes, and if Zhu Yuanzhang became stronger, Liu Xiu would be in tragedy. If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to take over the entire south, he would definitely attack Liu Xiu. Even if Liu Xiu was just trying to protect himself, he would never allow Zhu Yuanzhang to grow into a giant.
The lesser of two evils, if the south is left alone, Zhu Yuanzhang may develop out of control. Therefore, Li Xiang acquiesced to Li Mi's plan to sacrifice Sun Ce.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Sun Ce for being too weak. In this troubled world, the weak must either try their best to become stronger, or they can only be dominated by the strong or even be devoured by the strong!
However, Li Xiang did not care about Sun Ce being destroyed and the power of the Sun family destroyed. However, Sun Ce still has many capable people under his command, but Li Xiang is very jealous of these people.
At that time, once Sun Ce is destroyed, if these people do not die in the battle, they will definitely choose the next family. Therefore, Li Xiang doesn't mind fighting for it in advance.
