Chapter 1363: Jingzhou, Xiangyang
Regarding Jia Xu's resourcefulness, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and other strategists are very convinced.
In the battle of Hefei, Jia Xu brilliantly completed the task of defending Hefei (rowed away), defeated Sun Ce's army, caused it to lose nearly half, and retreated to the south of the Yangtze River in embarrassment.
However, Fu Zhu still said: "Jia Xu and Zhang He have never met, so I'm afraid it will not be easy to run in." The minister is willing to follow Zhang He's army and make suggestions. ”
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "No." The lonely relatives who conquered the south of the Yangtze River and were about to entrust the heavy task of Yedu to you, how could they let you go south with the army? Yedu is a lonely place, and there is no room for loss. ”
He was a little surprised, he originally served as the Qingzhou Thorn History, and this time he came to participate in the Yanwang Ceremony, but he didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to have another appointment for him.
Bai Xiaowen also had no choice.
Originally, he could entrust Ye Du to Tian Feng, and he could sit back and relax.
However, after Bai Xiaowen was crowned King Yan and forced the emperor to be abolished, the situation in Yedu was already surging. Who knows what those courtiers who are loyal to the emperor think in their hearts?
It's not like you're dead and reassuring.
Once things change, relying on Tian Feng alone, I'm afraid it will be unstable.
Bai Xiaowen's plan was to summon Fu Zhu and let him and his son Fu Hu jointly defend the defense of Yedu. As for the movements in the court, Dong Zhao will naturally pay attention to them, and the affairs of the palace are also watched by Hua Xin and others.
Only in this way can Bai Xiaowen feel at ease.
As for Jia Xu's assistance to Zhang He, Bai Xiaowen said that there is no need to worry about the run-in.
Zhang He is not as arrogant as Guan Yu, he himself has a certain strategy, as long as Jia Xu tells the reason for the strategy, Zhang He will definitely be able to understand Jia Xu's intentions and then obey them.
If it weren't for Zhang Xiu's prestige in the army, Bai Xiaowen actually wanted Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu to be in charge of the feint attack on the Jiangnan Road, and they didn't even have to think about the run-in problem.
However, Zhang He also has the benefits of Zhang He, just like Bai Xiaowen said, Zhang He's advantage is that he changes formations, which is most suitable for the rugged terrain of the southern mountains, which will allow soldiers to get corresponding bonuses.
With Jia Xu's ability to grasp the battle situation, when the time is ripe, it is also possible for a feint attack to turn into a real surprise attack - after all, there are 20,000 troops.
Who let Bai Xiaowen's family have a great cause? After Jiangnan sent 20,000 or 30,000 Yizhou Sichuan soldiers all the way, Bai Xiaowen could still raise another 100,000 troops and set out from Jiangbei. This is something that Sun Ce's camp will never be able to do - especially when Sun Ce is newly defeated and half of the 50,000 troops are killed and wounded.
......
In the next few days, Bai Xiaowen reorganized his troops and horses and raised grain and grass.
And Zhen Mi is also selecting the show girls of the gate valves to enrich the palace for King Yan.
Zhen Mi, who has lived in Yedu for a long time and has been serving her in-laws, finally realized Bai Xiaowen's power.
Just took over a matter of choosing a concubine for King Yan, and there were many family valves, who turned to ask people to pull relationships, and came to the door with gift lists.
Most of these requests came through the Zhen family.
The Zhen family has no choice, after all, most of the Hebei and Henan Shi clans are generations of in-laws, and they are in the same spirit. If you refuse, your face will not look good.
Of course, when it came to Zhen Mi, he still carefully selected fifteen famous ladies for Bai Xiaowen.
Among them, seven are from Hebei, four are from Henan, and four are from Yongliang and Jingzhou.
Hanzhong and Yizhou, because of the long distance and remote places, suffered a loss this time, and there was no chance to come up with beautiful women.
Bai Xiaowen was a little caught off guard.
Because Xiliang Ma also presented a "show girl", it was none other than Ma Yunlu.
That's not all, Han Sui also had fun and gave his baby daughter Han Qi, who is actually Camille, a big girl in the United States.
The key is that Zhen Mi passed these two people as soon as possible......
Camille is okay to say, after all, she is an awakened person, and people have made it clear that she is not interested in men, it is nothing more than a show.
But Ma Yunlu ...... Bai Xiaowen really didn't want to provoke.
Fortunately, although the fifteen side concubines have been selected, they have to be divided into the ranks of Mrs., Zhaoyi, Jieyu, Ronghua, and Beauty, and it is not now, but it is not yet now, and the world will be unified when the conquest of Jiangnan is over.
Bai Xiaowen found that Ma Yunlu's eyes were getting more and more wrong when he looked at himself, a good cheerful and generous Xiliang woman, looking at herself always shyly and timid, what does this mean?
What about a good relationship between superiors and subordinates? This will make the Lone King unable to look at you directly!
Fortunately, Ma Yunlu, as the selected candidate for the side concubine, will not march south with the army.
......
In the first two years of Thailand, in March.
Bai Xiaowen led an army of 80,000 to Jingzhou and arrived in Xiangyang.
Zhang He and Wei Yan took Liu Cong's mother and son, and the Jingzhou scholars to greet them.
Bai Xiaowen saw Liu Cong, a child who had just passed the age of ten, and his face was still childish.
But most of the ancient children were precocious, and this Liu Cong's every move was also quite polite, like a little adult, completely different from modern bear children.
As soon as Bai Xiaowen made a little observation, he could see that Liu Cong's eyes were smart and he was a smart young man. If he had been ten or twenty years longer, he might have been an excellent successor.
But now, Liu Cong can only let his mother and ministers stand in the air, making personal stamps and marionettes.
And kneeling aside, Liu Cong's mother Cai, looks pretty good, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of meanness, and she is obviously not attractive. No wonder Cao Cao in the romance has no interest in her.
Bai Xiaowen said: "Lingzun Jingzhou Assassin Shi Liu Biao, hard work and high achievement. It is good that you have inherited your father's shadow and know that you will submit to the court. However, why did you help Liu Bei rebel and let him attack Xichuan?"
Liu Cong and Cai were so frightened that their souls were not possessed.
There was a scribe next to him, who protested and said, "King Yan's words are inappropriate. Although Liu Bei is a guest living in Jingzhou, he is a strong guest and oppresses the master, and there are Wolong and Phoenix Chicks to conspire for him, and Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun to help him. My lord Liu Cong, an orphan and widow, how can he fight against Liu Bei? Helping Liu Bei to rebel against him is really a last resort. ”
Bai Xiaowen looked at the man: "Who is Your Excellency?"
The scribe bowed down: "In Xia Kuaiyue, the words are different, and now he is Zhangling Taishou." ”
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Lonely for a long time has heard the name of Jingzhou. When I saw it today, it was really true. Liu Cong and Cai's family, you helped Liu Bei to rebel, but you were also forced to ask no longer for guilt, and on the same day, Liu Cong was named the Marquis of Fancheng, and there were 1,000 households in the city. ”
Liu Cong and Cai's have a feeling of escaping from death, where do they dare to care about the fiefdom and food, and they are overjoyed.
Bai Xiaowen added: "Qingzhou still lacks a thorn history. Lone originally wanted Liu Cong to take over, but he was too young to temporarily take over the post of assassin. State and county affairs will be handed over to Qingzhou as an agent, and your mother and son will go to Qingzhou and enjoy wealth and prosperity. ”
Liu Cong's mother and son, who had just eaten Bai Xiaowen's killing stick, did not dare to object, and after thanking them again, they returned to pack up.
