Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 173 The movement of Jiujiang is known to all the lords!

"We must sincerely submit to Xu Bowen! He said last time, what should I do if it really comes true?" Xu Gong was sweating on his forehead when he said this, and stared blankly at Xiu Nian in front of him.

In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I just want him to say it again, maybe he won't pay the family property.

In the end, Xiu Nian was a real person, and repeated Xu Zhen's words honestly, which made Xu Gong's forehead sweat even more. He just kept nodding and said "it should, it should".

He is already a prophet, he can pinch and forget it, shouldn't he, and he can't fight with these monsters, otherwise he won't be able to find anyone to save him if he gets a catastrophic disease someday.

"Sun Ce killed the immortal master on the front foot, and I sold all my property on the back foot. Then I used up all my favors and secretly hibernated in Jiangdong for the prince and lord, and made him a dark chess game to win or lose."

Tuk Tuk.

The words were loud and clear, rhythmically knocked on the copybook, but Xiu Nian in front of him was rather at a loss, so he thought carefully whether he could really hear these words.

And this kind of thing, it's better not to say it casually, after all, even though you are a confidant around you, you don't know if it will still be like this after the passage of time. If you hear too much, you will easily cause trouble.

Xiu Nian has matured a lot since he ate at Xu Zhen's big-ear post last night, and learned to think ahead and backward when doing things so as not to get himself into trouble.

"Don't mention the captain's words again. It's good if you have this thought. You don't need to let us know, we will follow with peace of mind."

"Well... that makes sense too."

Xu Gong didn't wait too long. After he said these words to his disciples, Sun Ce ordered Yu Ji to be beheaded. The local people and gentry were shocked and even wanted to take his body for burial.

And the soldiers in the army and the gentry all sighed, even Wu Guotai blamed him for being too arrogant and impulsive, and killed this kind of immortal teacher who saved people.

This side made a move, Xu Gong sold his property on the same day, and secretly gave it to Xu Zhen's caravan, leaving only a few houses of his own, which are still relatively glamorous from the outside, but the inside is already an empty shell One.

Naturally, Sun Ce didn't know about these things, but many people related to Xu Gong secretly sent letters to Jiujiang, and gradually got in touch with Xu Zhen in the form of extremely cryptic oral messages, and expressed their intention to surrender. At this time, it is impossible to get an immediate response, and Xu Zhen will not immediately agree to promise their future.

But the good news is that Xu Gong actually has quite a lot of contacts. Individual visitors alone sent Xu Zhen more than [-] letters, many of which were talents with considerable literary and political skills, and they were killed by Sun Ce. After leaving Yu Ji, the elders of the Lu family took their son Lu Xun back to live in Lujiang, and visited Xu Zhen for a stick of incense. Xu Zhen touched Lu Xun's head and warned him not to play with fire, and established a good relationship , I am afraid that the Lu family will also devote all their efforts to supporting Xu Zhen in the future.

As a result, some of the scholars in Jiangdong have begun to abandon their arrogance and arrogance, and lean on this Shucheng lord who started from nothing.

Seven days later, the sword-making work was almost completed. Xu Zhen stood on the military camp stand and saw the soldiers holding swords and shields on the school field. The outer obstacle course was set up by Xu Zhen himself. It is 500 meters in total, but there are too many twists and turns. The sergeants of the Sword and Shield Battalion can finish running in a quarter of the time.

Xu Zhen's expectation has been fulfilled, everyone's physical strength is quite long, and they are tall and brave. After Gao Shun's will fell into the army, all of them are brave and fearless, just waiting to go to the battlefield to make a name for themselves .

On the general platform, Xu Zhen glanced at the unsmiling soldiers with the same face, and finally heard a long-lost and familiar voice in his ears.

[You have completed the construction of the Sword and Shield Battalion, progress: 100%]

[Get self-discipline value +6000]

[Gain rate +1]

【Rate: 92】

"There are two more barracks."

Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and was looking forward to the reward this time. Even if the ability of a single item is not awarded one hundred, it must be given a golden characteristic. History knows that Cao Cao won, but victory is victory, and everyone knows how many people died in the process.

If it happens to be unlucky, the person is me. Wouldn’t it make the wife in the family widowed? Of course Xu Zhen will not do such things. The more ties in the family, the less he can die. , He also needs to make full preparations, the real best opportunity before the battle is this.

If the hand crossbow cannot be produced quickly, then let Huang Zhong find a way to practice archery, so that cavalry and shooting can be improved to a higher level. These elite archers can also shine in the future. Now it seems that they are only waiting for the autumn harvest The arrival is.

In a blink of an eye, under the intensified training of sergeants, Jiujiang recruited more recruits. The scholars from Jingzhou wrote some sour articles to denounce Xu Zhen's buying and selling of Cai Yan's family property, and said that he had taken in an old horse. Breaking the rules and making enemies with Jingzhou.

After some rhetoric, Xu Zhen's reputation among Jingzhou scholars was even worse. In addition to being a hungry ghost, he also gained the reputation of being a fool with a lot of money.

However, in the article denouncing sarcasm, it said "Xu Shan is good at giving", which was a blatant scolding. Xu Zhen originally planned to find someone to retaliate, but it was seen that this sentence came from Huang Chengyan's mouth. Staring at Zhuge Liang all night made him shudder.

Finally endured it.

Of course, that so-called old horse should be referring to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong felt melancholy in the barracks for a long time after seeing it, and it was not until several days later that he heard his relieved laugh again.

Many generals spent a month or two in their own busyness, and when the autumn harvest came, they became even more busy.

Even Xu Zhen hardly has time to spend time with her family members at home, and can only go to a one-person house every day. Fortunately, Er Qiao is considered to be alone, and the sisters have been in love for a long time and do not want to live apart.

So Xu Zhen lived separately among physical strength, energy, and knowledge.

Within every seven days, you can rest for one day, and repeat the calculation.

When Cao Jie comes in the future, it will be completed at this time. This is still recorded in the books of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is called the blessing of Qi people.

Xu Zhen enjoyed the blessings of Qi people for a short time.

So after late autumn, Cao Ang led the tiger and leopard cavalry back to Xudu first, and Xu Zhen's soldiers and horses were still behind, and they should be out around October to arrange things in Jiujiang.

Discussing which general to keep to guard the land of Hefei, in fact Xu Zhen already had a candidate in his heart, and to some extent he summoned many close ministers and confidants to talk a few times, mainly to reassure Dian Wei's heart.

Otherwise, this fierce man who blocked hundreds of people by himself in Wancheng couldn't figure out why he happened to leave a general to guard Hefei, which is so important. This is where Xu Zhen's family belongs.

Including the fief of Lujiang, as well as houses within several cities, the most important thing is that the people in this territory are safe and sound!If these people are gone, these lands and the hard work of the past year will all be gone!
"I bring the armor to ride myself."

After Xu Zhen said this, all the generals were silent. He personally led it, which meant that he would definitely be able to make meritorious deeds, and not to mention the fact that the outcome of meritorious deeds is unknown, the soldiers led by Xu Zhen would have fewer casualties. Of course, it is worthy of joy. It is estimated that the soldiers of the Armored Cavalry Battalion will jump for joy when they hear the news tonight.

"Wen Yuan went together to drive me forward, leaving Wen Yuan's old generals to guard Hefei, and Zixiu and my 3000 new recruits to guard Shouchun."

"Wen Yuan's [-] cavalry, plus you each choose a deputy in the army, Qi Yu and Min Yue were the first to follow me. Even when I was a school official, these two were still my chief officers."

Xu Zhen's words undoubtedly raised the momentum of the two who are still lieutenants to the highest level. Of course, this is a fact that few people in the army know.

Xu Zhen came from the southeast small school camp of these two people back then. At that time, there were only more than [-] people in the camp. It was Cao Ren who added [-] Chenliu soldiers to Xu Zhen at the end. After several years of fighting, it reached its current scale.

Speaking of their seniority, the seniority of the two is indeed a bit frightening. Now if the recruits of Xuying knew it, they would probably be in awe. Or their subordinates? !

Speaking of which, Qi Yu and Min Yue never talked about this matter, and their character is very low-key, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are noble. If you are a young scholar from a noble family, or a general who is a villain from a poor family, Shouldn't this be included in the family tree? !
"Then it's settled," Xu Zhen saw that they didn't speak, so he also came to a conclusion. In the end, Dian Wei couldn't help but said in front of Zhang Liao, "It's really... a piece of paper given to Zhang Liao. One thousand eight hundred rides?"

"Watch the ferry outside Hefei. If people from Jiangdong are extradited directly, Hefei will be lost in one night. At that time, I really can't go to the south of the Yangtze River all day and night to defend against the enemy."

Zhang Liao was not angry either. Hearing Dian Wei's words now, he knew that it was not so easy for the surrendered general to make people feel at ease. The most important thing was that there would be no more wars after Wen Hou was put down.

Therefore, there is no chance to fight side by side, and of course there is no chance to share the bold words in each other's hearts. The two have never known each other well. At this moment, he stood up and said to Dian Wei: "This time, in terms of meritorious service, 800 people can't beat it." There's a storm."

"Or, General Dianwei will leave 2000 people to guard the ferry, and Wen Yuan will take the main part to follow the princes and go north. If there are no extra troops, the main part will be [-]."

"The rest of the armaments can also be returned, as long as the Xiliang Ring Sword and the wooden and iron spears were at that time."

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, knowing that what he said just now was a bit hurtful, but he didn't want to apologize on the spot, mainly because he was the only one in the entire barracks who could make him apologize immediately.

So he waved his hand grandly and said: "It's not necessary, I just have this worry, I can feel a little relieved today with a word from you Wen Yuan, I hope that these thousand and eight hundred brothers can guard the backyard gate for the king, so that they will not die Just make a fire."

"It's sure to be like this!"

Zhang Liao turned to Xu Zhen and said, "I have just issued a military order for the [-] brothers under my command. If they fall, I will kill Zhang Wenyuan to suppress the army!"

"Li, beheading order?!"

Xu Zhen glared at Dian Wei, saying that there was such a big fuss, let's see how you end up, if nothing happens in the future, and he has made great contributions in southern Hebei, how much wine will he have to drink to get rid of today's grudge, but in fact Still a little touched, there are many people in the class who have this worry, but the ones who are really outspoken and not afraid of contradicting others will help Xu Zhen offend others.

Dian Wei is definitely the first.

"We must stand! This is not for a gamble," Zhang Liao smiled wryly, his face was still very open, and there was no temper. "This is to stabilize the morale of the army."

"If this is not the case, how can the army be able to move out with confidence."

"Okay, then stand!"

Xu Zhen glanced at Zhuge Liang, and when he looked at Zhang Liao again, his face became a little more approving, "I believe in this thousand and eight cavalry brothers."

"Thank you, Monarch!"

Zhang Liao got up and immediately clasped his fists at Xu Zhen.

……

Three days later, the army set out from Jiujiang Shouchun, left Xuzhou, and entered Chenliu.

It is estimated that the army will arrive within seven days. The merchants along the road are all celebrating. There are many merchants who are not afraid of being robbed of food. Everyone on the road near the fields is watching, wanting to catch a glimpse of this legendary prince. What a style.

Almost in the midst of crowds of thousands of people watching and seeing off the army, food and grass are delivered first. Whenever there are more people living in places, there are even villagers who send "food" to their homes as rewards. Most of them are scones and meat porridge. Those soldiers looked at him with eager eyes.

You must know that they have never enjoyed this kind of treatment. In the past, even if they were not fighting a war, they just moved their soldiers and horses a little. No one would come to see them off on the road. The family's grain was confiscated to collect grain, and all the grain hidden for several years was given away for nothing.

At that time, on the one hand, the army was regarded as a life-saving straw, and on the other hand, they were regarded as terrifying things like beasts in the mountains, and there was love and hatred in my heart.

As soon as Jiujiang's army moved, the great prestige spread. Even in Xiliang, there were spies to report, but in different order.

Originally, a small Huainan could not cause any storms, but when it was heard that [-] troops were marching, it was not shocking. Xu Zhen only brought more than [-] people to Lujiang.

In addition to getting a lot of troops from Lu Bu, how did he manage to conjure up so many soldiers within a year?Even with the addition of Cao Ang's soldiers, counting a little less, there are [-] more!
He not only needs to deal with food, but also armaments, war horses, etc. All the materials used to raise soldiers can be summed up as money.

How can Xu Zhen have [-] troops? !As a result, there have been many speculations. Some people say that Cao Cao is secretly funding, and that he is stationed in Xudu to prepare troops, but in fact, he secretly transferred all the money to his eldest son Cao Ang; Xu Zhen has been funded secretly, and some kind of agreement has been reached; there are also rumors that Cai Yan spent all his family wealth for him, and after selling the scrolls, he got [-] gold to fund the army.

There were all kinds of news, and by the time it reached Jizhou, it had shocked all the counselors in the territory, even Yuan Shao was alarmed by it, and waited for three days and nights without sleep, just to see all the news from Huainan as soon as possible.

He had to figure out one thing, whether Jiangdong Sun Ce was really in the same spirit as Xu Zhen!

If this is the case, then it is necessary to re-evaluate Cao Cao's military strength, and then spend a lot of money to win over people from other places. This is the battle in Henan and Hebei!Whoever wins can occupy the Yellow River, sit on nearly millions of grain harvests every year, and have a population of nearly ten million people.

How can there be another slight mistake.

"Cao Mengde is really capable, such a person can be accepted as a son-in-law, and Jiangdong is set for him! I'm already a bit late! Hey!" Yuan Shao slapped the letter on the table, not knowing whether it was annoyance or resentment, his face was very complex.

When this news came, he really started to value the name Xu Zhen.

Maybe this person is really not simple, he is definitely not like the kind of wine bag and rice bag that others say, and the fame of these years will not be obtained by Cao's repayment of kindness.
