In the back hall, Zhang Xiu bowed and looked down at Jia Xu's upper. His face was full of sincerity and expectation, waiting for Jia Xu's answer.

Because he already knew that Jia Xu already had an idea in his stomach.

Originally, according to the normal procedure, Zhang Xiu had already arranged Jia Xu's residence at this time. Jia Xu should have been running around for two days and should have rested tiredly. But Jia Xu rushed ahead of Zhang Xiu and directly took out Liu Biao's list to warn Zhang Xiu. This can only show that the current situation is imminent and there is no room for delay.

"But I don't know, what is Wen Jin going to do?" But seeing Jia Xu pacing slowly, his gentle smile was full of a similar curious attitude: "Do you plan to continue to dominate Nanyang against Liu Jingsheng, or do you want to directly seek a high position?" Or maybe find another way to make a living? ”

Dominate Nanyang, forget it. Ten years ago, Nanyang County was indeed a famous county and a large county. How good was Nanyang County at that time? Liu Yan, the former Yizhou pastor, once served as Nanyang Taishou, and Nanyang at that time was one of the most rich and powerful counties in the world. It is located in the center of the world, bordering Yongzhou in the northwest, Shangyong County in Yizhou in the southwest, Xiangyang County in Jingzhou in the south, Gyeonggi Sizhou in the north, and Runan in Yuzhou in the east. The roads extend in all directions, business travel is frequent, commerce is extremely prosperous, and handicrafts and agriculture are very developed.

The Book of the Later Han Dynasty once recorded: "There are 37 cities in Nanyang, 500,000 households, and a total population of more than 2.4 million. At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty had a population of only 20 million! The name of the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty is well deserved!

However, this was only Nanyang ten years ago. Now Nanyang is prosperous, and there is no return. The reason is that the former Taishou of Nanyang County was an extremely famous Taishou - Yuan Shu Yuan Highway, the former general!

What kind of goods does Yuan Shu have? Goose is more than just plucking. I had to eat the meat, and the bones were crushed and soaked into soup to gargle my mouth. He is in charge of each party, and he is all exhausted! forcibly conscripted and arrested strong men; levy all kinds of complicated conscription; all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes; Extravagance and arrogance, doing everything. If he is given the first trick of the Three Kingdoms to die, he can toss the princes, and everyone can compete with this goods.

In the past, the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty was tossed by Yuan Shu into a second- or third-rate existence in a few years.

Let's put it this way, when Lu Bu and Chen Gong were in rebellion in Yanzhou, Cao Cao was unable to recover Yanzhou for a while. At that time, there was also a drought and locust plague, and both sides were short of food. Cao Cao's advisers persuaded Cao Cao to come south to get food and expand his territory. At that time, Yuan Shugang left Nanyang to fight Huainan, and Nanyang was in a vacuum. And Cao Cao would rather defeat Runan and Yingchuan, which are entrenched by the Yellow Turban Remnants, than attack Nanyang, which is next to Runan and within easy reach.

Although Runan was also ravaged by Yuan Shu, it was only a stop that Yuan Shu passed through in order to attack Huainan. Yuan Shujun occupied it for a short time, and was soon reoccupied by the Golden Remnant Party.

According to historical documents, Runan is second only to Nanyang in terms of wealth. Moreover, it is the hometown of the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, and the Yuan family is all over Yingchuan, Runan, and the villagers in Yingchuan, Runan are all proud of the Yuan family! In the battle of Yuan Cao Guandu in history, Liu Pigong, who controlled Runan, raised troops against Cao and responded to Yuan Shao.

The people of Yingchuan in Runan have a deep admiration for the Yuan family, and even Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia, the top resourceful people from Runan, Yingchuan, went to Yuan Shao's first stop to join the lord, and they felt unsatisfactory before they took refuge in Cao Cao.

However, the admiration for the Yuan family is sometimes divided into different people, and the Yingchuan scholars of Runan are optimistic about Yuan Shao, but they are extremely disgusted by Yuan Shu, who likes to be rampant and tyrannical.

The ordinary families and people of Runan were even willing to accept the occupation of the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and were not willing to accept Yuan Shu's rule.

This is enough to show what Yuan Shu has made people like. Even the people in their own township couldn't bear Yuan Shu, let alone the attitude of the other outsiders who were occupied by Yuan Shu.

This can also explain why Yuan Shu couldn't stay in the Central Plains in the end and chose to go to Hebei to join Yuan Shao.

Having said so much, it is enough to prove how capable Yuan Shu is of tossing and dying! How poor and weak Nanyang is now! Wanting to rely on Nanyang County to support Zhang Xiu's more than 40,000 Yongliang troops is tantamount to a fool's dream. Fortunately, in order to build Wancheng into the front line of resistance against Cao, Liu Biao has hoarded a lot of food recently, and Zhang Xiujun has a bite to eat.

Judging from the current actual situation, continuing to be hostile to Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu's chances of winning are too small. Not to mention that Jingzhou has at least 200,000 troops and is exceptionally rich in money and food; Liu Biao also has a large number of civil ministers and military generals, as well as the support of the family and the common people. The odds are slim!

So, take refuge in Liu Biao? Zhang Xiu's head turned a corner, and he immediately denied this path. Isn't this path the same as the original historical Zhang Xiu's choice?

Once Liu Biao's broadsword and Zhang Xiu's sharp blade are unified to the outside world, they will immediately attract Cao Cao's attention. Then when Cao Cao came, could he fight?

There is only one last way, abandon Nanyang and find another way to make a living.

remembered that in his previous life, because of various constraints, he did not or could not seize opportunities. Always doing things that are not interesting to me, I have lived for more than 20 years with grievances, and I am still a waste wood college student who has achieved nothing.

Since he came to this world, if he doesn't do as well as the original Zhang Xiu, he has no face to say that God didn't give him a chance to call the shots.

Secretly clenched his unusually powerful hands, fate is now in his hands, and opportunities also need to be found and grasped by himself. From now on, Zhang Xiu said to himself that he was the general Jianzhong, the Marquis of Xuanwei, and the king of guns in the north, Zhang Xiu. It's no longer the mediocre and mediocre, inactive and even self-defeating waste wood!

From now on, my name is Zhang Xiu. I hope that the future is not far away and everyone can feel my presence! The existence of my Zhang embroidery!

……

"Fighting against Liu Jingsheng is tantamount to swallowing an elephant with a python." Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiu exhaled and said, "Although Wen Jin is not talented, he is not at the mercy of others. Sir, teach me how to make a living! ”

At this time, Jia Xu opened his eyes that had been half-squinted, and the smile on his face disappeared, as if he had never seen Zhang Xiu again.

He thought he knew this fellow villager and friend very well, even if he didn't choose the next strategy to continue attacking Jingzhou, he would only choose the middle strategy of directly surrendering to Liu Biao. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu directly asked him about the best way to go elsewhere.

originally thought that Zhang Wenjin was just a middle-aged person, even if he showed his ability to curb deserters and stabilize the morale of the army this time, it could only be regarded as the level of ordinary princes. It's just that I didn't expect Zhang Xiu to have such ambitions, and her courage and talent are okay at present. It can be quickly seen that the war with Liu Biao does not occupy any of the right time, place and people, and uses the python to swallow the elephant to appropriately express the contrast between Zhang Xiujun and Liu Biao's forces, and his self-knowledge is indeed superior.

Indeed, Liu Biao is like a strong elephant with no terrifying attacking power. Although Zhang Xiu's python has its own fangs, and even if it can open its mouth and swallow this elephant. But what about after swallowing? The Yongliang army is absolutely lost, what prestige and position does Zhang Xiu use to win the hearts of the people of Jingzhou? What will be used to suppress the local xenophobic clans? What to resist the attack of Cao's army? It's just making wedding dresses for others.

Liu Biao's elephant is a growing elephant, which can definitely support Zhang Xiu, a python at the end of the road. If he Zhang Xiu really dared to choose this path, he Jia Xu would immediately give up Zhang Xiu.

It's just that this made Jia Xu difficult, in his original calculation, Zhang Xiu would choose the safest way to surrender to Liu Biao. In this way, Liu Biao, a dog who guards the land, will not reach out to hit the smiling man, but will instead chew two sweet dates for Zhang Xiu. In the end, Zhang Xiu became his vassal force of Liu Jingsheng.

This is not glamorous, but at least it is a temporary livelihood. And you can always find a reason to get rid of your subordinate status and vote for someone else. There are tens of thousands of Yongliang elites as stepping stones, and there is also a future. Therefore, before Jia Xu came to Nanyang, he concluded that Zhang Xiu would choose this middle policy.

As a result, our Mr. Jia Xu didn't think too much about how to make a living. But it didn't matter, I saw our Mr. Jia Xu Jia Wenhe squinted his eyes again, and asked with a smile: "Is Wen Jin's words serious?" It's not easy to make a living! ”

"Seriously, 24k purity is true," Zhang Xiu said with great certainty: "Even if the jackal in front of him is in the way, Wen Jin should kill a way out." ”

"Oh, in that case, please bring Wen Jin the most detailed map of mountains and rivers in the army at present. and then summoned Hu Lei and Zhang Sanyuan together, and I should plan a way out for Wen Jin and my Yongliang Erlang. ”

Zhang Xiu agreed, and personally went down to find a map to summon the generals of his cronies. Jia Xu was left alone in the back hall. saw Jia Xu looking confused and embarrassed.

What is this 24k? Forget it, there's no time to study. It's better to save some time and make a draft before Zhang Xiu comes back.

……

"How's that for mediocrity?" In the back hall of the palace, Zhang Xian, the general of Zhang Xiujun, pointed to Shangyong County in the southwest of Nanyang County on the map and took the lead in asking.

Jia Xu, who was seated, just smiled and shook his head. Zhang Xiu glanced at Jia Xu and saw that he didn't mean to speak. I knew in my heart that Jia Xu was using this to help establish his prestige, and of course, he also had the meaning of testing his own depth.

"This is to Shangyong, not to mention the long distance, along the road lofty mountains and mountains, it is extremely difficult to march. Our army is not familiar with geography, and if it is ambushed, it will surely suffer heavy losses. Even if he arrives at Shangyong safely and has Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he can only develop to Hanzhong in the future, and it is difficult to return to the Central Plains. Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is not easy to match. Even though Hanzhong was annexed, although Liu Zhang's neighbor to the south was weak, there was a strong neighbor Ma Teng and Han Sui to the north. Han Sui has already had a grudge with us, and it will definitely not let us settle down," Zhang Xiu sat down and said with a calm expression: "Besides, the western border is far away from the Central Plains. Even if he is stable for a while, he is too indisputable to keep up with the general trend of the world. It will perish for a long time! I hope you don't mention this remote corner of the place. ”

"The general's vision is far-reaching, beyond the reach of the last general." After saying this, Zhang Xian's face was full of admiration and shame. Retreat to the seat and say no more.

"Then just go back to Guanzhong! We still have no less than 40,000 men in armor. Duan Xuan used the ability of the army, and he couldn't stop the general. With the help of Mr. Wenhe, it is not difficult to take Chang'an and pacify Yongzhou. At that time, Guanzhong will be reorganized, and Liangzhou occupied by Han Sui and Ma Teng can be taken in the west, and Hangu Pass in the east can be taken out of Tongguan and Hangu Pass, and Luoyang can be taken. At that time, both things will be in hand, and the general will definitely be able to shock the world! Another general, Lei Xu, stood up and pointed to the vast Yongliang Sanfu area on the map and said, looking heroic. I almost even got Zhang Xiu infected.

It's a pity that it's a little bit. Jia Xu still only shook his head slightly. Zhang Xiu looked at it for a while, and her face showed regret: "General Lei Xu's plan is very good. But may I ask General Lei, when we first burned Luoyang, how were the people in the villages along the road? When I left Guanzhong recently, what about the people in the villages along the road? ”

"Well, not one out of ten." Lei Xu's face showed a look of confusion, and for a moment it didn't occur that this question had anything to do with his proposal.

"Luoyang, as well as the whole of Sizhou, can now be said to be a scorched earth! And now Yongzhou is no better than that. If it weren't for the chaos caused by the two old dogs biting each other, maybe I would have adopted your opinion. But now Guanzhong is withered and dilapidated, Luoyang is scorched with earth, and there are four thieves. Not the king's land! What can you do if you occupy such a difficult place to live? ”

Lei Xu's face was also dark, and he sat down with a dry smile like Zhang Xian. In the back hall, only Jia Xu and Hu Che'er did not speak. Hu Che'er didn't care where he went, he only cared about where Zhang Xiu went.

The words have already been said about this, even if Zhang Xiu regrets a little at the moment, pretending to be wise and pretending to be mature and overdressing. I can only take a hard look at the place that I don't want to go to in my heart at the end of the huge mountains and rivers.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xiu still gritted his teeth. If you can fight there, you can fight, but if you can't beat it, it's not much fun. If even he can't beat him, then he really doesn't have the face to be a prince.

At that moment, Zhang Xiu stood up, drew his sword and pointed to the small piece of land above the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and below Xuzhou: "We, fight here!" ”

"Yes!" Jia Xu, who shook his head for a long time, finally squinted and smiled in agreement.
