The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 203 Although I don't understand, it doesn't stop me from crying

Just when Sun Ce and others returned to Wu County, Liu Bei and others were about to arrive in Shouchun.

At this time, Shouchun's soldiers were only tens of thousands, and he only needed to quickly capture a few small cities around him, and then he could lead Guan and Zhang to station troops here and develop rapidly.

"Brother, are we really going to Shouchun? If Yuan Shu sends troops again, the three of us will bear the brunt of it!"

Guan Yu had doubts in his heart, but he knew that his elder brother would not come rashly.

What's more, I haven't been idle during this period of time. Although the men and horses I personally trained have not experienced field battles, when it comes to attacking cities and villages, they are absolutely invincible.

"Of course I know, but now Xuzhou is being taken over by Naxi Fengyi. This person is superior to us in terms of strategy and force. Therefore, Shouchun is the only way to go right now."

"Besides, Yuan Shu dared to risk the disapproval of the world and usurp the throne. As the emperor's uncle, I can't sit idly by."

Zhang Fei on the side immediately asked for his orders: "Since that's the case, I will go to lead the battle for eldest brother. Within five days, Shouchun will definitely be captured!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei sighed: "Third brother, you can't say this again in the future. If we go to Shouchun with our current strength, won't the soldiers die in vain?"

Don't talk about five days, within three days, you have to explain everything here.

When his elder brother said this, Zhang Fei could only lower his head resentfully. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that his elder brother seemed to be a different person after he came out of Xuchang.

"Now, I intend to attack Yuan Shu, to correct my reputation in the Han Dynasty, but we have limited forces, but even if it is limited, we have to go. As the emperor's uncle, we naturally dare to be the first in the world."

"Attack down the surrounding area of ​​Shouchun, resettle the people first, and then talk about stabilizing the foothold."

"Yes!"

……

In the middle of the night, under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they quickly captured several small towns around Shouchun, showing a tendency to fight and watch each other.

After Liu Bei settled the soldiers and horses, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After wandering for so long, he finally had a place to stay.

The three brothers still fell asleep on their feet.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei received a message from the scouts.

Liu Bei has no advisers around him at the moment, although there are two people, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu, but after all, they are not as good as him.

In desperation, I had to discuss it with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Second brother and third brother, just read this news."

When the two heard the words, they immediately came together.

"I didn't expect that we came at the right time. Earlier today, Yuan Shu sent a messenger to Sun Ce's land, asking him to lead the troops to congratulate him with sincere words, but he didn't know that Sun Ce had already planned with him. Clear the boundaries."

"As for Sun Ce's bravery, Lujiang, Qu'a, Jiujiang, Yuzhang and other places will almost all be taken down by Sun Ce. This is our chance. At this moment, I intend to go to Jingzhou and ask Liu Biao. I don't know who is willing to accompany you. Let's do it for my brother."

"I'm going, big brother, I'm going!"

Zhang Fei immediately took the initiative to invite Ying after hearing the words.

"Big Brother, Second Brother needs to lead the army, so let me go with you!"

Guan Yu also quite agreed with this: "The third brother is fond of wine, and likes to beat and scold the sergeant when drunk, so let him follow the elder brother. I will stay here alone, and the elder brother can rest assured."

……

Immediately, Liu Bei packed up his luggage, took Zhang Fei and dozens of guards, and went straight to Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

Liu Bei's thought of this move was very simple. He belonged to the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor. Now he went to Jingzhou to ask Liu Biao to see him, and the other party might give him some support.

But don't have too much expectation. After all, when Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, it is not known how close this person is to controlling Jingzhou.

……

At this time, Xi Yu, after receiving the edict from Xuchang, formally led Xuzhou Mu, established a government office in Xiapi, and led Dianwei Zhao Yun and others to implement the strategy of farming and water conservancy.

He even sent Huang Zhong directly to Yanzhou to collect grain and grass to calm the people.

And after Xi Yu had completely ruled Xuzhou, Xia Houyuan saw that he was managing internal affairs all day long and had no plans to send troops, so he finally couldn't sit still and ran from the barracks to the government office.

"Playing Fengyi, the crisis in Xuzhou has been resolved, why don't you send troops?"

Hearing the words, Xi Fengyi just looked up at him, and asked with a smile: "Send troops? What kind of soldiers?"

"Bastard, then Yuan Shu assumed the title of emperor and sent troops to attack Xuzhou. Now that Sun Ce has already attacked, why don't you send troops to attack Shouchun?"

Xi Yu shook his head: "Don't panic, General Xiahou. Yuan Shu is already at the end of his rope. Since the day he proclaimed himself emperor, his defeat will come sooner or later. Why rush?"

Xia Houyuan's expression froze, "Since you said that he is at the end of his road, why didn't he beat the dog in the water, instead, he went back and forth to the farming land all day long, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Xi Yu chuckled, and stood up: "General Xiahou, why should you rush for a while, Yuan Shu is a false emperor, the fake one can't be true, besides, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still there, and there will be someone to conquer him, why should I do this? What's more, now that Xuzhou has just been pacified, I only have tens of thousands of people under my command, even if Xu Chu brings people here again, do you think that with these people, Shouchun can be flattened?"

Xia Houyuan was stunned for a moment. Although he had some prejudice against Xi Yu, he had to say that what he said seemed to make sense...

Ji Ling was beheaded, but the general under his command was still there, but he didn't dare to use troops against Xiapi again. In fact, it was Zhao Yundian and Wei who killed each other that day.

The armament of that group of people can pierce their iron armor almost at will, but it is difficult for their own swordsmen to even pierce their armor.

So now Yuan Jun has already retreated.

As for Lu Bu, there is nothing to worry about.

After sending Xia Houyuan away, Xi Yu asked Dian Wei to call everyone.

"The top priority is to stabilize Xuzhou. Xuzhou is a good place. I finally came here, so I can't go back."

Originally, Xi Yu was just talking to himself, but after saying this, another voice came over suddenly

"That's easy to do. You only need to let Liu Bei attack, and we have the most. If you get Hefei to hold on, you can block all of Sun Ce's troops."

Ok?
Jia Xu's voice!
He got up quickly and stared at Jia Xu for a long time, "You, when did you come in?"

"Uh... I'm here, I've been in the room all this time..."

Jia Xu's complexion turned bitter immediately, thanks to my advice for you!You haven't noticed me all this time, don't you just don't like to talk...

It was only then that Xi Yu realized that Jia Xu was standing in the dark again, neither speaking nor making eye contact with others, just listening quietly when talking just now, and almost forgetting his existence after standing for a long time.

"My lord," Jia Xu came over with a sudden smile, bowed and said softly, "Why do you want to lead Xuzhou alone? You must know that this place is a big dye tank. People like Chen Deng will not easily surrender... I guess he still wants to occupy the position of the leader of Xuzhou's scholar class."

"What's none of your business?" Xi Yu rolled his eyes at him, "Hey, I remember that you seem to be in the design institute, why are you taking care of your merits?"

"Hey, I..." Jia Xu caressed his beard, with an embarrassed smile on his face, "I don't feel sorry for your lord, so I came up with suggestions. I think your heart is a little soft, isn't it?"

"Haha..." Xi Yu laughed, "I think you haven't hammered enough?"

"No, no, no! Enough is enough, if we fight again, we will be overwhelmed," Jia Xu waved his hand immediately, "In this way, we will first find a way to get the two generals Xiahou back, and then use General Dianwei and General Zilong to recruit new soldiers. It’s best to draw from the Qingzhou soldiers and replace the Danyang soldiers here, in this way, my lord will solve the Danyang faction.”

"Then, with the policy of running a school, meritocracy, spread the order of seeking talents, and appoint your own officials to prefect counties, you can lift the gentry class. In the end, the common people faction has long since collapsed, and Xuzhou is firmly under control. ?"

He spoke cheerfully, making Xi Yu involuntarily take a deep look at this person.

If I remember correctly, Jia Xu is simply a wonderful flower in the Three Kingdoms.

It's not just as simple as being weird.

When he was young, he was kidnapped and said that he was the grandson of Taiwei Duan Jiong. The gangsters were so scared that they let him go, and even entertained him with good food and drink.

Taiwei Duan Jiong, because he had been a frontier general for a long time and was powerful in the western lands, so Jia Xu pretended to be Duan Jiong's grandson to frighten the Di people. people were killed.

When Li Jue and Guo Si were about to flee Chang'an, he persuaded him to come back, robbed the Emperor of Han, and then sat in Chang'an, coercing the emperor to order the princes.

The matter of Wancheng is this old boy again...

Xi Yu thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt dumbfounded. There were a lot of butterfly effects in the late Han Dynasty, and Jia Xu was more like the butterfly that caused the butterfly effect.

"You said, what good will it do you if I lead Xuzhou?"

Jia Xu bowed deeply, and said with a smile: "This reason is easy to find. Your Excellency is a famous person in the world. He has a kind heart and treats people with kindness. If I follow him, I will definitely be treated kindly. If you lead Xuzhou, I will But to be a prefect, isn’t that also considered a kind of prosperity…”

Tsk... The old boy's implication is that if he lifts me up, he will also enjoy the blessings. If something happens to him, he can still protect himself.

"Then what if something happens to me?" Xi Yu asked with great interest.

Jia Xu thought for a while, with a smile on her face, "Let's put it this way, I not only understand some meager tricks, but I also know physiognomy. When I look at an adult, I know that it is the appearance of longevity, the blessing of everyone, and the abundance of children and grandchildren. Have a good death, because you are a person of great merit."

Xi Yu suddenly said: "I must die after you."

His eyes are like knives, as if he can see through Jia Xu's mind.

Jia Xu laughed, "That's inevitable, I will absolutely, definitely protect you..."

Xi Yu murmured in his heart, if something really happened, you would probably be the first to run away.

At this time, almost all the people had come from the outer courtyard and the supply camp, and when they reached the inner hall, Xi Yu took a look at Jia Xu.

He said angrily: "Wenhe, go ahead, tell everyone about the arrangement you told me just now."

At night, Xiapi's army began to change defenses, and Xia Houyuan received Xi Yu's order.

Already dumbfounded in the barracks.

It just so happened that at this time Xu Chu had arrived with five thousand Qingzhou soldiers under his command, which was quite different from what he had imagined.

He thought that Xuzhou was already in a hurry, and at least it was imminent to get down to the Pi, and he might face the danger of Yuan Shu's attack and Xi Yu's death.

But when he arrived, he found that Xi Yu was instructing craftsmen to decorate his house, make water pipes, connect the pipes to the ground, and then use a spiral to lift the water to the reservoir.

Farming and water conservancy is also such a set of equipment, but looking at the prototype of the building, it is almost ten times larger.

He was dumbfounded for a long time, staring at the peaceful Xiapi military camp for a long time, the horses yawned, and finally arrived at the supply camp, where Dian Wei received him personally.

"What's going on here? Could it be that Yuan Shu has already retreated?"

Dian Wei was forged in a steel refinery, his body was covered with oil, and his clothes were drenched in sweat. After wiping off his sweat, he asked someone to fetch food and wine.

Soon, the food and wine were brought to the table, Dian Wei ordered Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to be called, set up a small table, ate some beef and drank some wine.

Xu Chu sighed, "Why isn't this place busy at all?"

Huang Zhong looked at Zhao Zilong, and in front of the master, it seemed that he couldn't say this, "Ahem, Zilong will tell you."

Dian Wei slapped the table and said unwillingly: "Hey, it must be Zilong's first achievement! You and Lao Huang are both lucky!"

Xu Chu chewed the beef, his eyes widened and he asked, "Zilong's first achievement? What happened? What happened to Huang?"

"Old Huang is responsible for the reception!"

"I lead people to decapitate and assassinate people, and scout the terrain. They are all skills taught by my husband, and they also have very advanced armaments. Our armor is made of [-]-year-old steel, and our masks can also effectively prevent flying arrows." Zhao Yun took a sip of wine , a smile appeared on his face.

"I have nothing!" Dian Wei said aggrievedly, "I only have five hundred dead men! What a pity!"

As soon as Xu Chu heard this, he said, "That's not good! You're a doorman! I'm actually a doorman too. Don't you know that the Cao family and Xiahou's family are outrageous. When I went to give orders—cough Cough, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said too much."

Xu Chu was straight-hearted, and immediately said: "Mr. wrote a letter to the lord before he came to Xuzhou! Ouch, I cried when I saw it. Although I don't understand it, I probably know what it means."

"The lord made a few rules at that time!"

Xu Chu excitedly told what happened at that time. After all, Xi Yu's "Teacher's List" has just been circulated, and it is Xun Yu's revised version.

Dian Wei stared, "If you want me to say that Xu Chu was the one who caused the trouble, Mr. shouldn't have cared about it that day. Xu Chang is so big, and none of his Cao clan's relatives showed up! These bastards... Sigh!"

Huang Zhong said on the spot: "This group of bastards! Now that the world is uncertain, they have already started to be selfish! Sure enough, if we have civil strife, we will no longer be monolithic, and we will be easily divided! Sir, you have really worked hard!"

Fortunately, the situation in Xiapi has now stabilized. The military situation here should also be summarized and sent to Xuchang.

At the same time, urge the army to come over and divide Qingzhou soldiers to Xuzhou, which will be more convenient for management.

Xi Yu originally thought that Xia Houyuan would dawdle for a while, but who knew he was so direct, he just gave the order, and left at night, leaving behind a tiger charm before leaving, only Xiahou Dun and three hundred cavalry were taken away, and the rest was for Xi Yu's army.

Thirty thousand Danyang soldiers were commanded by Cao Bao, who was also from Xuzhou.

It can be regarded as a person with almost the same status as Chen Deng. Each has its own faction, and no one can suppress the other, but now Cao Bao and Xi Yu are naturally different.

Not an hour after Xia Houyuan left, Cao Bao came to invite Xi Yu to the barracks.

Then explain all the land of the general's food to Xi Yu.

He didn't dare to hide anything, one reason was that he had seen Xi Yu's fight back then, and General Zhao Zilong was already astonished as a heavenly man, but it seemed that it was not difficult for this seemingly thin actor to beat him.

But now, those people under Mr. Xi's hands... can directly kill the leader of the family among a hundred thousand soldiers.

Who dares to mess with this?

Maybe one day when I go to sleep, I won't be able to wake up again.

"My lord, we still have at least 15 shi of military rations. This year's autumn harvest has not yet been counted, and the taxes have not been collected. The war has already started, so we should still be able to tax tens of thousands of shi, plus Chen Lu and his three hoards." Food, enough to last for several years."

Cao Bao's body is relatively short and stocky, with leopard eyes and beard, relatively rough, and his voice is a bit deep and hoarse.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, General," Xi Yu said with a smile, without saying anything, took over the letter and took charge of all the food and grass land, "Your soldiers and horses, I will replace Cao Gong with Qingzhou soldiers. After that, you I will still be one of the commander-in-chiefs, and I will be named Xiapi Prime Minister, okay?"

"This..." Cao Bao's heart skipped a beat, this is, he's about to attack Xuzhou's situation...

He is a smart man, he knows what is important, although he doesn't know where the confidence of the actor in front of him comes from, he feels that after he came to Xuzhou, everything was in his mind, and he led the entire Xuzhou gentry Nose go.

Great.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that Chen Deng was far inferior to the sense of oppression given by the drama master.

He nodded, the smile returned to his face, and said: "Okay, sir, I naturally understand."

"Cao Bao will follow your lord from now on, and hope that your lord will take care of him."

"I will."

The corners of Xi Yu's mouth rose slightly.

The Danyang faction should be attached.

Next, only the gentry class remained.

In this era, there are two situations for raising troops.

One is to completely rely on the aristocratic family, get a lot of money, military rations, and armaments, and have opportunities for rich development.

In terms of fame and local status, they can help.

A protagonist is not only as simple as money, but also has people's hearts, connections, and various rich properties.

And Xuzhou is a typical place that needs the support of a large number of gentry. The gentry control the way of official career, such as collecting books.

The poor and poor scholars must be attached to the gentry, so that they can have books to read and study, and only then can they have teachers to pay for them, and they can be eligible to enter the stage of investigation.

Otherwise, you can only be suppressed by the gentry and do nothing all your life.
