Liu Ye's eyes flashed and softened a little. He lowered his eyelids, turned his head, and looked at the central army soldiers who were practicing tactics.

"The reason why the late emperor was defeated was that he practiced too little." Liu Ye suddenly said. "But the king practiced too much and fought too little."

"Um?"

Liu Ye was silent for a long time and sighed softly. "How do you think about practice and war?"

Sun Ce smiled and smiled. "How do you think Ziyang?"

"The king practices more and fights less, in order to reduce casualties and reduce consumption, it is natural to make sense. However, from a global perspective, if the central army does not go out for a long time, they will become lazy and hate labor. They will want to fight in the future but will not be able to get it. The border army will be heavy every day, and Tai'a will hold on the contrary, which is not a long-term plan for peace and stability."

Sun Ce smiled but said nothing, but agreed in his heart. The central army is the foundation, and if he doesn't go to fight for a long time, his combat effectiveness will inevitably decline. He was preparing to go on the battle in the Jizhou offensive after the autumn, which was for this purpose. Even if there was something wrong, he could not fight in person, and he would arrange for the central army to take turns to test the training effect in actual combat and prove the powerful combat power of the central army.

The army is the most important basis of violence and cannot be missed. In history, there have been too many and too deep lessons.

"Ziyang or insist on taking Jizhou quickly?"

Liu Ye nodded and said, "The king is distracted from internal affairs and wants to attack him slowly. It makes sense. He responds with the right moment, and acts in danger and follows him. He uses this to poison the world and the people follow him, so that he will not lose his original intention."

Sun Ce glanced at Liu Ye, thinking that although this person had recovered a lot, he was still not completely convinced, and his words were thorny. What does poisonous world mean? It was so ugly. He was thinking about how to refute it. Sun Jiao was wearing military uniform, pressing a sword in his left hand, and holding a document in his right hand. He walked up quickly. Seeing that Liu Ye was also there, he was a little surprised, nodded and rushed to Sun Ce.

"King, Youzhou urgently reported."

Sun Ce took the military newspaper and asked Sun Jiao if he had filed it, he quickly browsed the military newspaper. The military newspaper was sent by Taishi Ci. Jian Yong found that Liu Bei's arrangement was abnormal and Guan Yu was missing. He might take action against Jizhou or Bingzhou. Taishi Ci hoped that the navy could assist, threaten Zhuo County, and restrain Liu Bei's main force.

After Sun Ce finished watching, he glanced at Liu Ye from the corner of his eyes. Liu Ye was very conscious and walked aside. He didn't know whether to watch the soldiers practice or appreciate the scenery of Taihu Lake, but his hand holding the railing unconsciously knocked lightly, making a loud noise. Sun Ce smiled and shouted, "Ziyang."

"King?"

"Are you still used to it after being with the army for more than a month?"

Liu Ye smiled. "Compared with the previous imperial army, the king's military camp was frugal, but it was still very comfortable, with enough food and clothing."

"Then you can't just eat and not work." Sun Ceyangyangyang's military newspaper. "How about being a military advisor first?"

Liu Ye blinked. Sun Ce's military advisor was punished with four levels. The military advisor Jijiu was the highest in charge of the military advisor, and Guo Jia was currently the role of the military advisor. Secondly, there were the military advisors, such as Xun You beside Zhou Yu, Xin Pi beside Lu Su, as well as the left military advisor Zhuge Liang, and the right military advisor Lu Xun. Then there were military advisors with several different people, and finally joined the army. The military advisor was not of high level, but Guo Jia, Lu Xun and others were all in Runan. Sun Ce had only military advisors and joined the army. Although he was just a military advisor, there were no other leaders except Sun Ce. He reported to Sun Ce directly.

Perhaps, this was the time for King Wu to choose, just like appointing Xun Yu as a counselor. Although his official position was not high, he was a matter of one thing alone and had the opportunity to show his talent without arousing hostility and rejection from others.

Liu Ye quickly weighed the pros and cons, bowing to accept the order. "I am willing to serve the king."

Sun Ce nodded. "Shulang, please introduce the situation to Liu Junshi. Liu Junshi is resourceful and experienced. You should ask him more advice."

Sun Jiao bowed to take the order and bowed to Liu Ye. Liu Ye was happy. Sun Jiao was a royal family and a general that Sun Ce was determined to train. In the future, it was possible to lead the army alone like Lu Xun and Zhu Ran. Sun Ce gave him Sun Jiao, which was a test for him and also created opportunities for him.

Liu Ye met with Sun Jiao. Sun Jiao immediately told some of the information he had received recently. Although he was young, he was very attentive in his work. After he became a servant by Sun Ce, he paid attention to everything he had. After listening carefully, Liu Ye took the lead and followed Taishi Ci's analysis to gain a basic understanding of the situation in Jizhou.

His views are similar to Meng Jian. Liu Bei joined forces with Yuan Xi through Feng Ji, and the possibility of attacking Jizhou was very high. However, based on his understanding of Liu Bei, he did not think that Liu Bei could control Jizhou after seizing Jizhou. Although Liu Bei was known as the king of Zhongshan, he was not good at studying, had a strong habit of wandering, and it was difficult for him to cooperate with the children of aristocratic families. Even if he seized Jizhou, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Jizhou. Sooner or later, he would have conflicts with the Jizhou family, and the result might be worse than that of Yuan Shao and his son.

Because Liu Ye suggested that he be prepared to fight, but there was no need to be anxious. When Liu Bei's main force entered the hinterland of Jizhou and was in a stalemate, he sent troops to attack Youzhou and Bingzhou, and cut off its retreat. Although Jizhou has household registration and cultivated land, there is no danger to defend, which is far inferior to Youzhou and Bingzhou. Take Youbing first and form a siege against Jizhou, which makes Liu Bei unable to fly.

Sun Ce felt that Liu Ye's plan was very innovative and had a high intention. But he did not express his opinion immediately. According to regulations, as an ordinary military advisor, Liu Ye's proposal must be questioned by the Military Advisory Office before it can become a formal opinion.

"Zi Yang, follow Shulang to check the military newspapers related to Jizhou, try to prepare as comprehensively as possible, and submit it to the Military Advisory Office for questioning. Shulang, you should cooperate with Liu Junshi and not delay it."

"Here." Liu Ye and Sun Jiao agreed in unison.

——

Liu Ye followed Sun Jiao into the archives room of the Military Affairs Office and was shocked.

The entire cabin was divided into categories and filled with files. Even Liu Ye, who once presided over the Chang'an imperial secretary station, was amazed. Not to mention anything else, the cabinets made of camphor wood are just jealous. So many good camphor woods are expensive.

"These camphor trees were collected from the deep mountains of Yuzhang. There were only three archives in the Wu Kingdom: one in the Prime Minister's Mansion, one in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and one in the Central Army. The largest Central Army, the Prime Minister, and the other in the Central Army, will also be stored here when the Prime Minister and the King of Jijiao accompany them." Sun Jiao pointed to a door in the distance. "The archives of different departments are separated to avoid interference with each other."

Liu Ye was amazed. Sun Jiao led him and roughly explained the layout of the archives. On the way, he met several military advisors who were checking the archives. He couldn't help but stop to say hello. He heard that Liu Ye had just been appointed as a military advisor. Those military advisors had a strange look in their eyes. Some expressed congratulations, some expressed doubts, and some expressed disapproval. Liu Ye didn't care and looked at Sun Jiao one by one.

"Does the military advisor also have a division of labor?" When passing the Guanzhong Archives Area, Liu Ye stopped and glanced across the grids.

"Yes." Sun Jiao smiled and said, "Does the military advisor want to see the information related to you?"

"May I?"

"When do you want to see, I'll fill out a form and apply."

Liu Ye said with a crooked mouth. "It's so troublesome, let's wait a little longer and deal with the matter in Jizhou first." He walked forward a while and found that most of the cabinets in the archives area marked Jiaozhou were empty in front of him. Sun Jiao explained that Jiaozhou was previously in charge of General Cavalry, and the Central Army basically did not interfere, so the information collected was relatively small. Most of the existing information was collected from other channels, which was relatively complicated, not systematic, and had limited accuracy.

Liu Ye thought something.

After visiting the archives room, Liu Ye returned to Jizhou District and stood in front of the archives cabinet and looked through the relevant records one by one. There were book cases specially designed for copying, and there were prepared pens, inks and papers on the case. He didn't need to, just looked at them one by one.

Jizhou archives were collected a lot, and it was early. The earliest one was in the third year of Chuping. At that time, Sun Ce had just taken over Yuzhou, and the building ship might not have been built. Liu Ye stood there and watched for most of the day, and then went to Youzhou District. To his surprise, there were also many archives in Youzhou District, even better than Jizhou District. There were several cabinets in Liaodong alone. After careful look, there were also categories such as Goguryeo, Sanhan, and Japan. Some Liu Ye had never heard of them.

"How come these barbarian countries use so much effort?"

"The king said that because they are barbarians, they need to educate my Chinese civilization, so they need to spend more time." Sun Jiao pinched his knuckles and made a crisp sound. "This is not much. The king is most concerned about the Western Regions at the moment. It is the place that is most likely to threaten my Chinese. He will conquer it first in the future."

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment. "Are you talking about Rome?"

"Mr. Liu also knows?"

"I heard that Rome was originally a small country, and it became a big country that was warlike. Over the past few hundred years, it became a great country that was thousands of miles away. The reason why Anxi declined was because of the war with Rome." Liu Ye said lightly: "There are many Hu merchants from the Western Regions in Chang'an, and we also collected some information. However, these things are the most familiar to Xun Lingjun. Bao Chu and others under his command were very effective. The main task of the secretary station was to collect information from the Central Plains."

"Then do you collect a lot of information?"

"Many?" Liu Ye turned his head, looked at the Guanzhong files in the distance that he had no right to review for the time being, and smiled bitterly. "I originally thought there were a lot, but now it seems that just for information, the victory or defeat was determined. With such strong financial support, how could Guo Fengxiao not win?"

Sun Jiao smiled, looked around, saw that there was no one nearby, and whispered: "Although Guo Jijiu is extremely smart and energetic, he is still unable to do anything now. This is why he attracts Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun as the left and right military advisors, and Xiangpang the military. In my opinion, it won't take long to go, the three military advisors in the front, middle and back will be appointed one after another, and Liu Junshi will be one of them."

Liu Ye smiled and shook his head, and said humbly. "How dare you? Ye surrendered to me. The King of Wu is already a mercy, so how dare you beg for the greed of Sichuan."

Sun Jiao smiled. "Mr. Liu, the Grand Historian Ziyi, was also a surrendered minister. He also attacked the king. Now he is not as high as the Ninth Supervisor. The king's mind is that the ancient saints cannot match. As long as the military advisor treats him loyally, he must treat the military advisor with sincerity."

Liu Ye's eyes flashed slightly, looking down at the file. "Thank you, Shulang, for your reminder, I'm so grateful."
