Entering Yangzhou, Diao Chan looked at the people along the road who were full of energy and working in full swing, and he was very surprised in his heart.

Even the people in Luoyang are mostly yellow and thin. Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is a very real portrayal of Luoyang City. Diao Chan traveled from Luoyang to Yangzhou, and along the way, he saw many homeless people following Yuan Shu's troops to Yangzhou, and the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command not only did not drive them away, beat and scolded them, but also provided them with a certain amount of food to help them.

What he saw and heard along the way made Diao Chan more curious about Yuan Shu. The rumors can't be believed!

Diao Chan had heard of Yuan Shu, and it was rumored that he was a very arrogant and arrogant gentleman. But during this period of getting along, Diao Chan suddenly found that those rumors were not credible, Yuan Shu was obviously an easy-going and benevolent person, humble but dignified, and managed a Yangzhou in an orderly manner, and the soldiers under his command were strictly disciplined, and he was indeed a hero.

Yuan Shu was also very bored during this time, so he went to chat with Diao Chan when he had nothing to do. Sun Jian and the others quickly understood that their lord was probably in love with this woman, but as a prince, it was not very normal for Yuan Shu to have a group of wives and concubines? What's more, people like Sun Jian and Dian Wei are a little cautious.

Although Yuan Yao is not bad as Yuan Shu's only son, he can only become an excellent general in the future, which is not enough to inherit Yuan Shu's inheritance. And Yuan Shu is only in his thirties now, and it is not a problem to work a little hard to have a few more sons.

However, because Yuan Shu's wife Feng fell ill when she gave birth to Yuan Yao, she could no longer have children, and Yuan Shu was still very affectionate to her wife before, and she had never taken a concubine, so she only had a son under her knees for so many years. If it weren't for the fear that Yuan Shu would be angry, Sun Jian and the others would have wanted to find some wives and concubines for Yuan Shu.

Unexpectedly, now Yuan Shu took the initiative to fall in love with another woman, and Sun Jian and the others are now a lot more relieved. If something happens to Yuan Shu, leaving one or two excellent heirs will not ruin these foundations.

Sun Jian and the others all saw it, and Diao Chan naturally understood Yuan Shu's intentions. Born in troubled times, to be able to find such a generous person who can be relied on as a husband, Diao Chan is naturally very willing in his heart.

If Yuan Shu spoke, Diao Chan would definitely not refuse. However, as a child of a family who has read countless women, Yuan Shu is not the kind of hungry ghost in color, and he enjoys this feeling as if he was in love in his previous life, and he did not forcibly persecute Diao Chan, everything went naturally.

When they came to Jinling, Tian Feng and the others had already been waiting for Yuan Shu in the general's mansion. Seeing Tian Feng with a black face in the martial arts under the stage, Yuan Shu suddenly had the idea of going to Luoyang again. I'd rather run around than see Tian Feng's stinky face.

"First of all, I would like to thank you for your hard work during this time. With the efforts of all of you, Yangzhou has survived this catastrophe without danger, and after half a year of development, it has become more prosperous. ”

After saying this, Yuan Shu quietly glanced at Tian Feng. Uh, his face is even darker.

"Ahem, then Yuan Hao, you can report on the situation in Yangzhou in the past six months."

"No." Tian Feng stood up.

Tian Feng had already prepared to take out a report sheet from his hand: "In the past six months, I have recruited more than 2 million displaced people in Yangzhou and purchased more than 30 million stone ..... grain."

In the end, Tian Feng came to a turning point: "However, there are only more than 200 million yuan left in my Yangzhou treasury now, less than a quarter of what it was a year ago!" According to the current situation, at most half a year, my Yangzhou treasury will run out of money! ”

Seeing Tian Feng's vicious eyes, Yuan Shu instantly understood what he meant, and said with a dry laugh: "What, Yuan Hao." This time, I robbed a lot of money from Dong Zhuo, and it is estimated that it will be more than 500 million yuan, so I should not have to worry about financial problems in a short time. ”

Then he hurriedly changed the topic: "You have done a good job in politics during this time. Now that the troubled times have begun, we must act quickly. I wonder if you have any suggestions? ”

Yuan Shu has been developing silently for so long, and it is time to attack. Now Cao Cao is estimated to be still preparing to make a fortune in Yanzhou, and Tao Qian in Xuzhou and Kong Ling in Yuzhou are just two shoucheng, and it is suitable to go out and grab territory.

Guo Jia knew very well what Yuan Shu meant, and stood up: "Lord, my Jiangdong is now rich in money and food, complete in armor, and stable inside, it is time to send troops." ”

"Jingzhou sent troops to attack my Yangzhou for no reason half a year ago, and we can just take advantage of this to send troops. Moreover, Liu Biao, the new assassin of Jingzhou, has just arrived, and the internal instability is unstable, so we just took the opportunity to take Jingzhou. ”

Yuan Shu nodded. He already had a plan in his heart, to take advantage of the fact that the major princes in the north had not yet taken shape, and quickly took over the four southern states. This was followed by a period of steady development, and continued to erode northward. Jingzhou is its first whetstone.

"Good! Ordered Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Ju Yi, and Gan Ning to lead an army to attack Jingzhou. Zhang Liao and Gan Ning were the vanguards, and troops were dispatched three days later. ”

"No!"

Gan Ning is especially happy now. Half a year ago, Cai Mao's navy was so powerful that it still lingers in his mind. Although he successfully dragged Cai Mao at that time, he was still very unhappy in his heart.

Now after Yuan Shu returned, he increased his naval army from the previous 30,000 to 50,000, although it is still a lot worse than Cai Mao's naval army, but with elite soldiers and advanced warships, coupled with his own command ability, there is little difference in combat power. Gan Ning had already taken a breath and wanted to fight Cai Mao head-on.

Leaving the General's Mansion, Wei Yan took Gan Ning and Zhang Liao to the tavern and began to fight for wine, complaining while fighting: "It's really unlucky, why can you both go to Jingzhou to fight, and I have to stay in Jiujiang!" ”

Wei Yanzhen felt a little aggrieved, why did he let Zhang Liao catch up with him every time he did a good thing! If it weren't for Guo Jia's proposal to attack Jingzhou, Wei Yanzhen would have suggested that Yuan Shu go to Xuzhou. At that time, he will be a pioneer, and the group of soft-footed shrimp in Xuzhou will not be broken with one blow in front of him?

Gan Ning saw Wei Yan's unhappy look, and said happily: "Wen Chang, don't worry, I will definitely make more meritorious deeds this time and beat Cai Mao to the ground." When the time comes, the lord will give me a promotion again, and I will let you be my deputy! ”

Wei Yan kicked at Gan Ning: "Get out!" You bastard, trying to provoke me, aren't you? ”

Gan Ning dodged Wei Yan's sneak attack with a light flash: "Hey, I'm good for you!" With Wenyuan here, can you still get out? It's better to join me in the navy. I heard that there are many overseas countries and islands, and there must be a lot to be done! ”

Wei Yan kicked at Gan Ning again, looked at Zhang Liao viciously and said, "Who said I can't compare to this bastard?" That's because I didn't have a chance to play, otherwise I would have led the army to fight head-on? ”

Zhang Liao drank unhurriedly: "You can't beat me alone." The two of us are good at different things in the legion battle, and it is a tie when we fight head-on. ”

Gan Ning gloated on the side: "That's it, haven't you fought many times before?" Have you ever won? ”

As soon as he said this, Wei Yan's face darkened, and he rushed up to fight with Gan Ning: "I can't beat him, can't I beat you?" You bastard! ”

Gan Ning fought back and cursed: "There is a kind of fight between you and me on the water!" ”

Zhang Liao looked at the two people who were fighting again and sighed. waved his hand to disperse the surrounding diners: "I'm sorry everyone, this time it's free, let's leave first!." ”
