What made Liu Biao sweep away Zhang Xian's sorrow about the rebellion in the three counties of Jingnan was that if Zhang Xiu really declared war on Sun Ce, it would naturally be impossible for the two sides to wage war against Jingzhou again. Then no matter how capable Zhang Xian is, he will not be able to turn the sky up again if he is supported in Jingnan.

Compared with the two, the bad news of Zhang Xian's self-reliance does not seem to be so bad. Even this time, he was able to justifiably deal with the biggest contradiction within Jingzhou, so after thinking about it again, Liu Biao's mood suddenly lightened a lot.

As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, since Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, the Jingzhou Army with the Jingbei Army as the main backbone has basically formed a combat force, and now there is a lack of a rabble to brush up the winning rate and find some feeling.

However, the top priority now is to quickly find out why Zhang Xiu will hack Sun Ce, where the contradiction between the two parties lies, and to what extent the direct conflict between the two sides has reached!

But don't worry too much, Jingzhou, which is rich in money and food, still has a lot of intelligence.

Just when Liu Biao turned from worry to joy, Zhang Xiu, who was fighting in Jiangdong, fell into a dilemma.

The surprise attack on Jiangdong achieved the desired effect that Zhang Xiu wanted, and the six cities of Moling and Shicheng were all returned to Zhang Xiu in half a month.

After Niu Zhu landed on the beach, 40,000 embroidered soldiers were divided into two routes. Zhang Xiu personally led 20,000 troops to attack the core areas of Jiangdong such as Wujun due east, while the general Zhang Liao led another 20,000 horses to the southeast to approach Zhenze, which was later known as the Taihu Lake region.

Zhang Xiu's intention to put on this formation is already obvious. If Jiangdong is compared to a person, what Zhang Xiu did was to hold two knives at the same time, one to stab the person's vital brain, and the other to the person's neck.

You must know that many civil and military officers under Sun Ce's command, such as the "two zhangs" Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and the families of military generals such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others, were mostly arranged by Sun Ce to live in Qu'a or Wu County. Most of the other ordinary soldiers were also children of Wu County. This is all because Wu County is the earliest base laid by Sun Ce, and it is also the political and economic core that Sun Ce has always focused on.

If Zhang Xiu can capture Wu County in a two-pronged manner, it is completely predictable how big a blow this will be to Sun Cejun!

At the same time as the attack on Jiangdong, the former commander of Jing County, the current governor of Danyang, Zu Xun, commanded the soldiers and township soldiers of Danyang County, the thief army Kou Zhong, and the remnants of Liu Xuan's defeated soldiers under Tai Shi Ci, a total of more than 10,000 people, on the one hand, actively responded to and cooperated with Zhang Xiu's attack on the hinterland of Jiangdong in the east, and on the other hand, cut off the land connection between Wu County and Yuzhang County.

Subsequently, Zhang Xiu's Danyang Taishou Yuan Yin temporarily moved the Danyang County Administration to Moling, and took on the important task of pacifying the local area and ensuring the logistics supply of Zhang Xiu's army.

Herein lies the problem. Although the six cities such as Moling had been effectively controlled by Zhang Xiujun, Yuan Yin also reappointed a large number of officials. However, this can only achieve military and political control, and Zhang Xiu has not mastered all other aspects.

For example, the large and small clans of the six cities of Moling reacted earlier than the defenders in various places when Zhang Xiu's army crossed the river to attack. When Zhang Xiujun broke through the six cities of Moling, he either hid in the mountains or defended himself in the fort. After Zhang Xiujun basically controlled the situation, he only made a symbolic offering of a small amount of money and food.

Compared with the perfunctory deeds of the clan heroes who were armed in the dock fort, most of the clan clans were incapable of pulling out a dime a dime although they were in the city. Almost all of the families of the family were noopered by the appointment of their sons to serve as local officials.

There are family members and clans taking the lead, and ordinary people naturally "respect and stay away" from Zhang Xiujun. After all, in the land of Jiangdong, the land of the population directly controlled by the wealthy family is more than half of the total population and fields!

Without the support of the upper class represented by the family and the nobles, Zhang Xiu was naturally unable to re-establish and operate the grassroots political power. Without the support of the grassroots represented by the powerful clans, Zhang Xiu's army was quite lacking in the long-term guarantee of grain and straw.

It's the equivalent of being stronger than your enemy, and you punch him out, but at this time you're shamefully hungry and don't have the strength to continue throwing your big fist.

The disadvantage of pacifying after conquering the six cities of Moling affected Zhang Xiujun, and he postponed the second phase of the offensive for a full five days. Zhang Xiu led the army to approach Qu'a, the key place of Wu County, and Zhang Liao led the army to attack Yangxian.

Yangxian was quickly captured, in fact, after the Yangxian defenders found out the news that Zhang Liao was about to attack, they retreated to Wucheng along Zhenze without distinguishing between the true and the false.

Zhang Liao took Yangxian, and according to the plan, he should have continued to advance, and rushed to capture Wucheng to choke Jiangdong's throat. However, by this time, the non-cooperation of the Jiangdong soldiers and the people had seriously affected Zhang Xiujun's operations in Jiangdong.

Because after Zhang Liao was stationed in Yangxian, he received the news that the rear grain transport team was attacked and asked for help!

Although Zhang Liao soon sent two generals, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, to lead the cavalry to save the grain transport team, this was a wake-up call for Zhang Xiujun!

Three days later, the Moling City Mansion.

Danyang Taishou Yuan Yin ushered in a distinguished guest from Huainan, a Confucian scribe, surnamed Shu, named Shao, and the word Zhongying.

Although it was a guest who came to the door, Yuan Yin did not just treat this Shu Shao, who was not famous under Zhang Xiu's command, as a guest, but presented the main seat!

Shu Shao is indeed not famous under Zhang Xiu, but this does not mean that he is not famous. In fact, this Mr. Shu Zhongying Shu was famous all over the world in his early years, and he was not only famous for his talents.

Like Zhang Xiu's important ministers Yuan Jian and the former Ruyin Taishou He Kui, Shu Shao is also from Chen County, and he is also from the scholar family. However, in Chen County, Shu Shao's family is not on the same order of magnitude as the Yuan family and the He family.

Shu Shao and his brother Shu Boying were both famous for their talents in their early years, and the relationship between the two brothers was also quite good, how good was it? The strong and courageous Shu Shao even killed his brother's enemy, but unfortunately he was arrested.

After the eldest brother Shu Boying heard that his younger brother was arrested, he decisively came to the official mansion, saying that he had killed the enemy and that it was none of his brother's business. But Shu Shao also compared the sword of murder and demanded that his own crime be punished.

In the end, the chief judge of the case had a headache, in view of the fact that the Shu family and the Shu brothers were both faceless rather than ordinary people, and Shu Boying and the deceased were enemies and Shu Shao had evidence of murder, so the murder case was transferred to the higher level for trial.

The Shu brothers are not professional killers, nor are they professional debaters, and the truth is quickly revealed and known to the world. All of a sudden, this strange story of the brothers' fight to the death was hotly discussed, and even Emperor Han Ling finally learned about it. In the end, this matter was regarded by the imperial court as a positive example of brothers, friends and brothers, and after investigating the heinous crimes committed by the deceased, the Shu brothers were exempted from the death penalty!

Shu Shao risked the death penalty and killed his brother's enemy. In the end, he was not only exempted from the death penalty, but also justified at home! In terms of fame alone, in fact, Shu Shao's reputation is even greater than that of his fellow countryman and Zhang Xiu's important minister Yuan Kui.

However, these are all things that happened when Shu Shao was young and frivolous, after Yuan Shu occupied Huainan, he forcibly recruited a large number of celebrities as wings, and Shu Shao and his brother were also among them. In history, Shu Shao also did a world-famous thing during the Peixiang period when he served as Yuan Shu.

The reason is actually Huainan's ***! After the famine and drought broke out in Huainan one after another in history, Yuan Shu had been defeated again and again, seriously depleted, and his strength had taken a sharp turn, and he had already begun to fall into the situation of betrayal and separation.

At this time, the severity of the famine also affected Yuan Shu's military food supply, and Shu Shao, who was in control of Yuan Shu's last batch of grain hoarding at this time, scattered all this batch of 100,000 grains and grass to the hungry people!

Yuan Shu, who got the news, immediately sent troops to capture Shu Shao, and Shu Shao didn't plan to escape, so he confronted Yuan Shu and said: "I know that I will die, so I am the ear." I'd rather save the lives of one person and save the people from misery! ”

The meaning of this sentence is, "If you don't save the hungry, then they will only die, so I will scatter food." I'd rather put my life on the line to save the people from misery! ”

In the face of Shu Shao, who once again disregarded his own life, Yuan Shu, who had already experienced many setbacks, was a little awake, and Yuan Shu, who was enlightened, got off the horse and personally comforted Shu Shao and said: "Zhong Ying, I want to enjoy the world's fame alone, and I don't share the evil with me?" ”

"Shu Zhongying, do you want to enjoy the world's fame alone? Can't you enjoy it with me? ”

In fact, Yuan Highway, the emperor of the Zhong family in the last days, did wake up a little when he was about to reach the end of his life, but it was too late. But it will never be like in the romance novel that you can't eat honey and will be so angry that you vomit blood and die.

This is Shu Shao.

Or because of Zhang Xiu, Shu Shao doesn't have to be frightened even if he has a thrill to survive the loose grain turmoil. Because Zhang Xiu's policy is the same as Shu Shao's, they all put the life and death of the hungry and poor peasants in the first place, and put military grain and other issues in the second place. However, the difference is that Zhang Xiu, who has a complete economic theory system, has done the best in policy decision-making and implementation.

When Zhang Xiu proposed the food plan supply system, the first person to stand up and support it was not Yuan Lian, Yan Xiang and others, nor Zhang Xiu's cronies and generals, but Shu Shao Shu Zhongying, who was the head of Fuling!

After discovering that Shu Shao was very supportive of his planned economy, which was more than 1,600 years ahead of his time, and that Fuling was the area where the grain supply system was most thoroughly successful, Zhang Xiu decisively promoted Shu Shao to become the actual executor of the planned economic policy.

With the support of fellow countrymen Yuan Lian, He Kui and others, Shu Shao did quite satisfying Zhang Xiu. After Huainan accepted the millions of grain stored in Yijing by the former Gongsun Zan from Hebei, Huainan gradually stopped the planned grain supply system.

However, Zhang Xiu naturally would not let Shu Shao have nothing to do, and this time he was transferred to Jiangdong, but it was to solve the biggest problem that Zhang Xiu would face in Jiangdong.
