Chapter Twenty-Nine: Great Rivers and Mountains

Yuan Shu's daughter?

Zhang Xiu's first reaction when she heard this sentence was - the barbarian princess!

The father is arrogant and arrogant, and the daughter born and raised must not be much better in virtue.

Hmm~,It must be the type of lady whose eyes are too high, no one in her eyes, and who always feels that the solar system revolves around her.,At the very least, it should be a Zhengtai sister.。

But what is the "what I want" that my aunt said?

Seeing Zhang Xiu's ugly face, Zou thought that he disliked that Yuan Yao's sister was from Yuan Shu's knees, and Yuan Shu was now the most notorious person in the world, which would have a negative impact on his own reputation.

So he hurriedly said: "Auntie is just talking about it casually, now the beauties of Manhuainan are for you to choose at will, and Auntie is just a wake-up." You're almost thirty years old, and you still have a long time to come, so you can't always be alone. ”

Although Zhang Xiu is not a person who is well versed in human feelings, he also knows at this time that Yuan Yao has probably done a job for his aunt. In addition, the Zou family was originally very worried about Zhang Xiu's lifelong event, which was the same as his mother and son, so today Zou took the initiative to ask himself whether to marry again.

So Zhang Xiu hurriedly smiled: "People in the world criticize, what's the harm with my body?" Xiu'er is not afraid of any gossip, on the contrary, if she marries the daughter of the Yuan family, she can help Xiu'er appease Huainan to the greatest extent. It's just that Miss Yuan's embroidery has never been seen, let alone gotten along, how can she decide for life? ”

When Zou heard this, he hid his face and smiled: "Men and women are guarded, in this world, ten couples, I'm afraid there is no one like Xiu'er said, the husband and wife met before the red hijab was lifted on the night of the candle in the cave room." ”

Although he knew that men and women in this era had begun to be imprisoned by the feudal ethics, Zhang Xiu did not expect that it would be so serious at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but think of the story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall. It is said that it was a man who was careless, and happened to dimly see half of the face of Meng Jiangnu, the eldest daughter of the yellow flower, and Meng Jiangnu could only marry this man.

However, this man was arrested as a strong man to repair the Great Wall on the night of candles, and the couple didn't take a serious look at each other, so they parted. Until the man hung up, Meng Jiangnu actually gave up and went to cry on the Great Wall.

This is still what happened in the Qin Dynasty, and now that Confucian Gang Chang thought has ruled the world for nearly 400 years, how serious is the defense of men and women.

Fortunately, Zou is not the kind of strong woman in terms of personality, otherwise Zhang Xiu would really have to worry that Zou would give him a "parent's life, matchmaker's words" or something like that.

In the end, Zhang Xiu still said that he would seriously consider the issue of remarrying, but this daughter of Yuan Shu, forget it.

The two children on the riverbank were still playing, Zhang Xiu and Zou both looked at the two innocent children playing in the water, playing with the sand and catching fish and shrimp, but the eyes of the two were completely different. Zou looked at the two children very dotingly, but Zhang Xiu looked like he wanted to kick the two bear children into the depths of the river.

It's just a matter of eating my food for nothing and wearing my clothes for nothing, they are all so old, and they always rely on me in bed at night!

You guys, what about those maids in the General's Mansion who secretly agreed?

……

In the evening, Zhang Xiu climbed the mountain, and the generals who returned from hunting gathered in the middle of the mountain one after another, showing off their catches. Jia Xu, Yuan Lian, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Jiang Gan and other staff members gathered around Zhang Xiu and watched the sunset that was about to set.

What appeared in front of Zhang Xiu and others was an unusually magnificent picture of mountains and rivers. The low mountains in the distance are undulating, and the wide Huai River in the near distance goes straight to the east. The setting sun stained the entire sky red, and also made the plains and hills vast, illuminating the Huai River like a silk, stretching endlessly.

"What a great river and mountain!" Zhang Xiu couldn't help but sigh, this kind of scene is very difficult to see in later generations. Heaven and earth are so pure, even the little fireworks that rise are so lovely.

Wait, where are the fireworks so big? This is the junction of the three major forces of Huaibei, Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu, and it is a no-man's land where all forces are strong and clear!

After careful identification, Zhang Xiu finally saw clearly, it was actually the beacon tower that lit fire and set off smoke, how did you do it?

Several horsemen came with red dust, and the leader rushed up the hill, clenched his fists and told Zhang Xiu: "General, the scout has observed that Cao Cao's 200,000-strong army vanguard Xiahoudun has appeared in the eastern boundary of Peijun. ”

The one who came to report was Zhang Xiu's scout commander, Pei Yuanshao, the school inspector.

It seems that history has been changed too much by the little butterfly of its own. Cao Cao solved the trouble of Wancheng a year ahead of schedule, and now it is time to solve the stumbling block of Lu Bu.

Zhang Xiu's group of strategists and staff looked at each other, this Cao Cao came too quickly. Yesterday, Cao Cao was still in Liangdi, and today Xiahoudun has arrived in Peijun.

Cao Jun deserved to have fought in the Central Plains for several years, and from a miscellaneous army of Yellow Turban Army and peasants, he trained a team that could fight well.

"Lu Bu has no scheming, even if Chen Gong has a strategist, he will definitely not be able to stop the traitorous Cao Cao. What is the general's plan in this situation? Jia Xu asked lightly.

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment: "Two days ago, Cao Cao gave me the title of General Pingkou and asked me to lead Jiujiang Taishou. I also approved the Guangling Taishou Han Degao, the Lujiang Taishou Liu Ziyang, and the Ruyin Taishou He Shulong. Cao Sikong even personally presented a table to the emperor, looking at the merits of Yuan Shu's former Qin King, pardoned the sins of Yuan Yao and others, and allowed Yuan Shu to be buried in his hometown Runan according to the doctor's ceremony. ”

"It can be said that as long as I submitted all the items to the court a few days ago, Cao Cao should agree. In this case, what reason do I have to send troops to help Lu Bu directly deal with Cao? ”

Han Degao is Han Song's character, and Liu Ziyang is Liu Ye. And He Shulong's name is He Kui, and Yuan Jian is also from Chen County. It is a famous celebrity, forcibly recruited by Yuan Shu. When Zhang Xiu attacked Huainan, this goods was about to dump Yuan Shu and defect to Cao Cao, but fortunately, Yuan Jian recovered this unknown talent in time and avoided the loss of talent in vain.

In the hands of Zhang Xiu, he approved Yuan Lian's recommendation and appointed him as the Taishou of Ruyin County.

"Yes, if the general sends troops, he will definitely give the world a handle. It is a great disadvantage to the reputation of the general, and in this case, it is absolutely not possible to send troops because of Lu Bu. What's more, Lu Bu's tiger and wolf generation, even if the general helped him, he may not remember the general's kindness. At present, Yan Xiang, who is actually in charge of Jiujiang, said.

"But once he doesn't support Lu Bu, Cao Cao will be able to take Xuzhou in one fell swoop. When the time comes, the strength will rise sharply, and the next step will definitely be to covet our Huainan. So, we have to make a move! The second strategist, Changshi Yang Hong, refuted Yan Xiangdao.

"Yang Changshi, the reason you said for sending troops is very recognized by this joining the army. It's just that we in Huainan now have the ability to send troops again? And what are the chances of winning this army? Our army is now a huge and complex personnel, and it has only been hastily reorganized, how to resist Cao Cao's long-fought soldiers? ”

"In my opinion, it is better to stick to Huainan and train the army. In the end, even if Cao Cao can defeat Lu Bu, it must be difficult to have any thoughts about Huainan for a while. At that time, we will take advantage of his fatigue and rely on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to attack Xuzhou and enjoy the success. Zhang Xiu's important minister, Yuan Zhuo, who succeeded Han Song as Zhang Xiu's second member of the army, said.

Yuan Jian and Yang Hong are not quite right. In the matter of whether to send troops, because Yuan Jian and Yan Xiang are both civil ministers, they know more about the current situation in Huainan than Yang Hong, and they have more common language.

And Jiang Gan next to him was still looking at the scenery of heaven and earth in the distance, looking like this was not Lao Tzu's professional Lao Tzu did not participate. And Jia Xu provoked the conversation, but he didn't participate in the discussion in the middle, closed his eyes and breathed the fresh air between heaven and earth, and traveled outside the sky.

Zhang Xiu took in the expressions of these five people, and Yang Hong and the three of them argued again, and in the end, no one could convince the other party, so they had to bow to Zhang Xiu together and ask Zhang Xiu to adjudicate.

Zhang Xiu had already made up his mind in his heart, and Lu Bu had to be saved. Cao Cao is already very strong, once he breaks through Xuzhou and subdues Zhang Liao Zangba, he will definitely be difficult to resist.

It's just that there are still some concerns, that is, as Yan Xiang and Yuan Lian said, their foothold in Huainan is not stable, and their reputation is just created. It's okay to operate with Cao, it's nothing, the key is that Cao Cao now controls the central court, and being against him is equivalent to tearing his face with the court. And his current reputation is all based on the sentence "diligent king, suppress rebellion", once the army is dispatched, then his reputation for supporting the court's loyalty and courage will be ruined.

The reputation of this era is very important, without the skill and charm of Mr. Cao or the prestige of the fourth and third princes of Yuan Shao, you must have a good reputation like Liu Bei, otherwise most of the talents and talents will not mix with you at all.

This is secondary, Zhang Xiu is not a person who pays too much attention to fame. The key problem is that, as Yuan Jian said, his Huainan is indeed not suitable to send troops now.

After taking Guangling and Lujiang, Zhang Xiu's army expanded to more than 300,000, and there was abundant money and food. However, more than 100,000 people were incorporated into the Tuntian army of Li Tong, the new Diannong Zhonglang general. Li Tong was responsible for recruiting the displaced people to carry out the tuntian, while his deputies, Liao Hua, the newly promoted school inspector, and Yuan Min, the younger brother of Yuan Lian, who was good at water control, were responsible for building water conservancy projects relying on the Huai River, the Yangtze River, and many lakes.

In just a few months, Li Tong has appeased nearly a million homeless people, and these homeless people rely on Zhang Xiu's treasury to supply food, so Zhang Xiu is no different from raising an army of millions, and the hoarded food is decreasing rapidly every day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Xiu himself calculated that if he sent troops, Huainan's current grain and grass would only be able to support 30,000 horses for half a month at most.

took 30,000 people to help Lu Bu deal with Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu thought that he didn't have that ability.

But if you don't help Lu Bu, it will be a real cold mouth.

Zhang Xiu had no choice but to ask Jia Xu, and sincerely bowed to Jia Xu: "What is Mr. Jia's opinion?" ”

Jia Xu half-opened his eyes, put one hand behind his waist, and stroked his beard with the other: "Wen Jin can know why the old man asked everyone present for advice, but he was silent. ”

Zhang Xiu's heart was immediately overjoyed: "Mr. Dingwen and Mr. Dingwen have a plan and are confident!" ”

Jia Xu sighed slightly: "No, the old man is only good at planning personnel, not current affairs." ”

What does that mean, personnel? Isn't it just what people do? Isn't Cao Cao human?

Seeing that Zhang Xiu still didn't understand, Jia Xu had to try his best to explain: "Personnel is a matter of people's hearts, and the old man can only guarantee to solve things that are related to people's hearts." I don't dare to criticize myself for this big fact that affects the current situation in the world, and I'm ashamed! ”

Zhang Xiu's heart suddenly roared past 10,000 horses, so what are you old immortal pretending to be on the side.
