Without the rebellion, Zhang Yong and the others' itinerary was undoubtedly much faster, and it only took more than a day to arrive outside Nanxiang City.

Compared with Nanxiang City before Zhang Yong's departure, the Nanxiang city wall, city gate... It is still the previous Nanxiang city wall and city gate, and there has not changed much.

But... The crowd of people coming and going at the city gate is not the same as before, a little more prosperous and a little more orderly.

"There is no vanity under the fame, it seems that this time... Bo Miao did a good job. ”

This road is coming quickly, and there have been some riots in the counties (townships) along the line... Nanxiang is still in the current situation, which is not easy.

"To be respected by Yongyan, it is natural to have a little bit of real talent."

For Deng Zhi, Meng Qiu didn't have much contact, and when he first heard Peng Yi's praise, Meng Qiu was still a little suspicious in his heart, but... Now it seems that he is indeed an extraordinary person, at least in the matter of governance... is much stronger than Fang Ling Han Bin.

"Deyan, you go to the chief of the Wen and respect them, and let them go to the county office to find me."

"No!"

Hearing Zhang Yong's command, Zong Yu hugged his fists and beat his horse to the school field.

"A few of us went to the county government first, and we were young... Wait a minute, let you meet a certain pillar stone, cheer up, after coming to Nanxiang... Before this curtain is over, we are afraid that we will not have time to rest. ”

Seeing Ma Tan's slightly wilted expression because of the overnight hurry, Zhang Yong turned around and patted Ma Tan's shoulder, chuckled, and went to the county office under the escort of the soldiers guarding the city.

......

The county office, not long after, after learning the news of Zhang Yong's arrival, the number one civil and military in Nanxiang City rushed to the county government one after another.

"The Son... Grand Governor! ”

Seeing Zhang Yong, everyone was in high spirits for a while, and they only felt that they had the backbone.

"It's been a hard time, everyone!"

From Peng Yi, Deng Zhi, Wei Yan, Fu Tong, Yang Ping, Liao Hua... Waiting for the people to sweep them one by one, Zhang Yong responded solemnly.

Peng Yi and Deng Zhi are thinner and thinner than before he left; And Wei Yan and others... In addition to becoming a little darker, the lack of display is much more calm.

"Only if you can guard this family business for the capital, why talk about hard work!"

Looking at Zhang Yong's slightly dusty appearance, Peng Yi chuckled lightly and responded lightly.

Although these days can be counted with your left hand on the pillow and long sleep days, all the efforts are worth it.

"Governor, don't you want to introduce this young talent to us..."

For Zhang Yong's ability to recognize people, don't say that it is him, and the civil and military ministers beside him are all convinced.

can enter Zhang Yong's vision and take it with him... All are very human.

Moreover, Peng Yi always felt that when he looked at the young man next to him, there was always a kind of similarity... It's just the feeling of the same kind, and the heart is naturally full of curiosity.

"Young!"

Sighing secretly, Peng Yi's eyes were sharp, and Zhang Yong immediately turned to look at Ma Yan beside him.

"Nanjun Ma Yan, I've seen you!"

In front of everyone, Ma Jian was neither humble nor silent, and his expression was calm... Compared with Peng Yi, there are indeed some similarities.

"But Yicheng Ma's?"

Hearing Ma Yan's words, Peng Yi and Deng Zhi's eyes lit up, and their eyes suddenly became hot.

The fame of the Ma's Five Constants is not limited to Nanjun... Confined to Xiangyang.

"Exactly!"

"The Metropolitan Governor's trip to Jingxiang is worth it!"

Seeing Ma Jian nodding, Peng Yi and Deng Zhi were happy again, Ma Jian was young, and he didn't have to think that it was also Ma's Five Constants... The one at the bottom, but youth has never been associated with incompetence.

Judging by what they know, Ma Tan... is the future of Mars.

"Harvest and risk are often proportional, this trip to Xiangyang... And in the meantime you have gained far more than you can imagine. ”

Ma Yan, Dong Yun, Xiang Pet... If these three people really grow up, they should be able to govern the state and the country.

"If that's the case, the Governor should have a long talk with me tonight."

Peng Yi and the others were stunned when they heard this, and their expressions suddenly converged a lot.

"Let's wait until the night banquet to talk, or get down to business! What is the movement of the Cao army in Runan now, and have you ever figured out the situation? ”

"Back to the Governor, since the news of Cao Cao's title spread, the Cao army in Runan has been moving, and dozens of scouts of all sizes have poured into all parts of Nanyang, unscrupulously spying on Liu Bei, Liu Biao and the deployment of our army, but... According to the previous instructions of the Grand Governor, to avoid attracting the attention of the Cao clan, we only dispersed the Cao scouts who came to spy on the military situation, and did not hurt their lives. ”

Seeing Zhang Yong talking about business, everyone was much more solemn, and when they saw Wei Yan stepping forward and said.

"This is also in line with Cao's marching style, before marching his army, he will first explore his situation, but these scouts... In the final analysis, it's just the smoke deliberately released by Cao Jun, Liu Biao, Liu Bei... With our hypocrisy, I'm afraid that I will be ... Sniff it out. ”

"The Governor is right! These scouts were indeed the mist deliberately released by Cao Jun to attract the attention of our tripartite forces. According to the news from the dark line, a large number of elite members of the dark pavilion had sneaked into Nanyang, Nanjun and other places in disguise a few days before Cao Cao became prime minister. ”

Glancing at Zhang Yong in surprise, Peng Yi turned around and said closely.

The matter of Cao Jun's scouting of the smoke was also determined after he and Wei Yan and others received the news of the dark line, but they did not expect Zhang Yong to judge Cao Jun's intentions without the assistance of any news.

"Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and our military deployment are only afraid that they have already been presented in front of the case of the chief general of the Cao army in Runan at this moment, so calculated... It won't be long before the counties of Nanyang will usher in the first battle of Cao's southern expedition. ”

"What the Metropolitan Governor said is good, now that Cao Cao is the prime minister, the morale and combat strength of the Cao army have reached their peak, at this moment... If I were the main general, I would indeed do whatever it took to attack on all fronts. ”

"That's right, Chief! It is possible to find out who is the commander of the Cao army in Runan? Xiahou Yuan... Or Cao Ren? ”

The battle of the Southern Expedition, in the eyes of Cao Jun, was almost the battle of Dingding, and it was one of the few good opportunities to win meritorious deeds.

It's just that the memory of his previous life is slightly blurred, and Zhang Yong can't remember who the main commander of the Cao army will be this time.

"Metropolitan Governor, the general who led the troops this time was not Xiahou Yuan, nor Cao Ren, but a person we didn't expect!"

"Oh!"

"Who is that? It can't be one of the five good generals, right? ”

Looking at Wei Yan's suspicious expression, Zhang Yong was also interested.

"There are no five good generals, the main general of the Cao army this time is Xiahou Xuan!"

With a sigh of relief, Wei Yan collected his thoughts and replied.

"Is this reckless man?"

At this moment, Zhang Yong finally understood why Wei Yan showed such a look, don't say it's Wei Yan, if it were anyone, he would only be a little surprised.

I never thought that Cao Cao would be cronyistic to such a point, an army of 100,000... It was actually handed over to such people.

"Metropolitan Governor, although Xiahoudun has no force and does not know the military formation, he still cannot be underestimated."

"Cao Cao in order to make another meritorious service to Xiahoudun, at this moment is also a bloody capital, one of the five good generals Yu Ban, Cao's army generals Li Dian, Xiahoulan, Han Hao, are all deputy generals in the army, in addition, Cao Cao also from Qingzhou, Jizhou transferred dozens of generals to Xiahoudun for the time being, the prosperity of the army is far beyond imagination."

"Rest assured! I haven't been rampant to that point, no matter who is the chief general of the Cao army, I have no intention of fighting them at present, Liu Bei, Liu Biao... Jiangdong Sun is the chess player in this game of chess, we... It's still a little worse. ”

Looking at Peng Yi's slightly worried look, Zhang Yong smiled helplessly.

is young, and still has the sorrow of youth.

Even if you are talented and accomplished, the people around you are always worried that you will be arrogant...

"We won't talk about the matter of Cao Jun in Runan! If you all know the bottom of your heart, I will be relieved! This time I went to Jingxiang, I thought a lot, and today I happened to take advantage of the fact that everyone was there, and we had a good discussion. ”

……

Jingzhou, Changsha County.

After more than a month of successive battles with the Jiangdong Army in southern Jiangxia, the situation in the south gradually calmed down.

Although the army of the four counties of Jingnan has recaptured some cities in the south of Jiangxia, more... It is still firmly in the hands of the Jiangdong Army.

Taishou House.

The war has subsided, and Zhang Ji, the Changsha Taishou, seems to have returned to the state of inaction in the past.

On weekdays, in addition to simply dealing with two or three political affairs, he studied his treasured medical fragments over and over again in the Taishou Mansion.

"Father... Father! ”

On this day, Zhang Ji put on his beard and lay under a century-old tree in the house as usual... was enjoying the leisure of the afternoon, only to hear Zhang Yuan's fiery voice coming from afar.

"What's the matter, what a panic! When will you be able to let your father rest assured that the Changsha Zhang family will be in your hands. ”

Seeing Zhang Yuan approaching, Zhang Ji got up and sat up, frowned, and reprimanded Zhang Yuan dissatisfied with his "frivolous" behavior.

"Don't blame Father! There is an urgent matter to report to my father! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Ji.

"What urgent thing can you kid do..."

For Zhang Yuan, Zhang Ji's resentment accumulated in the past was obviously not ordinary, so he took the opportunity to reprimand two sentences again, and then slowly took the letter in front of him.

"Father, this time is different, it is a letter written by Brother Zhang Xian, and it will be sent to my father by name."

In the face of Zhang Ji's reprimand, Zhang Yuan seemed a little discouraged, laughed twice, and covered up.

"That Brother Zhang Xian? Could it be that you went to Xiangyang this time and made some fox friends with the father's complex, in the name of being a father! ”

In an instant, Zhang Ji's eyes gradually became dangerous, obviously thinking of some bad past.

"Father misunderstood! This... Brother Zhang Xiandi is not an outsider, but the son of Zhang Lu's uncle, Zhang Yong. ”

Subconsciously took two steps back, and Zhang Yuan suddenly felt like he wanted to run.

It is said that there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, but why did he come here... The contrast will be so great.
