"Well, that's good, Yuan Hao leveled the domestic city, and laid down the city of Marudu, and the people of Goguryeo were completely wiped out."

The Handong Metropolitan Protectorate advanced step by step from north to west as planned, which was basically in line with Xu Ding's expectations.

Then Xu Ding took a look at the news coming back from the direction of Luodong County.

"Xu Wu and the fierce bull marshal captured Tsushima with the scriptures, began to tuntian, established a supply station, and all the Tsushima people on Tsushima Island were sent to the mine, which is not bad."

After reading the news from the east, Xu Ding then looked at the report from Beihai again.

"There are a bit too many people, and even the western part is full of people, so it seems necessary to continue to move these people to Pingzhou."

The situation in Beihai is also very good, until Xu Ding recruited 100,000 yellow turbans in Beihai last time, Qi State, Pingyuan County and other Qingzhou counties have successively transferred to Beihai State.

It's not over yet, there are also 200,000 yellow scarves in the direction of Yanzhou.

This made him both happy and worried.

Xu Ding's reputation is too good, and it has been enriched by 400,000 people at once, which is a frustrated old life.

There is a place to arrange these people, but food is also a big burden, and Xu Ding has to continue to buy grain in Yangzhou.

"In short, it's just burning money! The gold and silver mountains are also about to be emptied. Xu Ding couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

It's a good thing that the people trust him, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the pressure.

Just when Xu Ding sighed, someone reported that Guo Jia was coming.

"Bonghyo is here, let him in." Hearing that Guo Jia was coming, Xu Ding immediately straightened his posture.

After seeing Guo Jia come in, Xu Ding asked, "Fengxiao, is there something big going on?" ”

Guo Jia finished saluting, and then said: "After the lord thinks about it, you should know that the prince has received 400,000 yellow scarves there!" ”

Xu nodded his head and asked, "What, there is something wrong with Beihai." ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "There is nothing to do in Beihai, but those in Qingzhou and Yanzhou have changed, because of the lack of these 400,000 yellow turbans, those people have a better life, and the military pressure has been sharply reduced, so the soldiers and horses have quietly moved to the border of Beihai."

Although they are nominally trying to prevent the return of yellow turbans, I guess they are trying to do something against us. ”

It's true, as soon as the yellow scarves in Qingzhou and Yanzhou disappeared, the pressure on Jiao He and Liu Dai suddenly disappeared, and the two of them could open up outward.

"When you go to the island, there must be more important things, right? Those few people can't get into your eyes. Xu Ding knew that Guo Jia must have more important things to report, and Jiao He and Liu Dai were not in his eyes.

Nor is it in Xu Ding's eyes.

Guo Jiadao: "That's right, my lord, not only the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou and Yanzhou are moving to us, but also the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou and Yangzhou are also moving to Xuzhou, especially the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu, who have been mobilized to Peiguo in large numbers, and Chen Bing has the intention of doing something to Xuzhou on the border." ”

To Xuzhou, Xu Ding frowned slightly.

Now the last thing he wants is a war.

Whether it was in Qingzhou or Xuzhou, the war not only disrupted his plan, but also consumed resources in vain, even in Xuzhou.

He hopes that Xuzhou will always be a peaceful and stable Xuzhou, so that the rich land of Xuzhou can provide him with resources, even if it is bought with money.

"Lord, should we remind Tao Qian? I think the war will start after the autumn harvest. Guo Jia asked.

In this era, the basic major wars were in autumn and winter, first, because the grain was harvested, so that there was a basis for money and food to start a war.

Second, the autumn and winter holidays allow the people to spare time to serve as logistics transportation and provide services for the war.

Xu Ding shook his head and said: "No, I believe that Tao Qian has his own intelligence channels and can receive rumors, and we remind him that he may not pay attention to it, and his civil and military officers may not be on their side, but they will have opinions on us." ”

"That's right, those families in Xuzhou definitely don't want us to become customers, and they won't ask us for help unless they have to, let alone believe us." Guo Jia also agrees with this approach.

"Therefore, your work task is very heavy, continue to closely monitor the five prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan, Henan, and Yang, and report back immediately if there is any movement." Xu Ding continued: "By the way, did Sun Jian capture Yuzhang County there?" ”

"Yes, the lord, Sun Jian led the troops to attack from west to east, pulled out three cities and four villages, killed and wounded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and finally attacked the city of Nanchang, it would take some time to take the city, but his Sun Ce with the help of Zhou Yu, recruited Lu Fan, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Song Qian, Chen Wu, Ding Feng, Deng Dang and other wise and brave young people from the two rivers and three counties, and attacked the northern counties of Yuzhang from the great river. Guo Jia said with emotion.

After speaking, he couldn't help but stare at Xu Dingshen a few times, he was still the lord of his own family, and he said that Sun Jian's eldest son was a little tiger.

Now it seems that that guy can really make a bit of a climate.

"Well, in this way, after the autumn harvest, Sun Jian will have other actions, not attacking Jiangxia and fighting Huangzu, but going east to take the Lujiang River." Xu Ding thought while knocking on the table, according to his understanding of the Sun family's father and son, Sun Jian's main intention would definitely be to kill Huang Zu first, because he could hold the eastern and southern parts of Jingzhou and have the strength and depth to fight against Liu Biao's division.

And Sun Ce, this guy, is estimated to listen to Zhou Yu's take of the Lujiang River, because Zhou Yu and the others are all from Yangzhou, they are familiar with Yangzhou and influential, and it is not difficult to eat the old-fashioned Lu Kang.

If this is the case, it is necessary for him to go to Lujiang County.

After all, Xiao Qiao's father is there, and the relatives and families of the two are there.

"Lord, if Sun Jian is not ready to go to war with Huang Zu before Yangzhou and Yuzhou attack Xuzhou, then he will definitely go east, take advantage of Yangzhou's emptiness, and eat all the way down." Guo Jia reminded.

Guo Jia's words undoubtedly corroborate Xu Ding's guess.

"Okay, it seems that I need to go to Lujiang once, and at the same time, our navy will also go out to activities to familiarize myself with the battlefield in advance." After thinking about it, Xu Ding finally decided to go to Lujiang.

One is to pick up people, the second is to collect some talents, you can't let the little tiger and Zhou Yu kidnap them all, and the third is to show the sword Yangzhou and deter Yangzhou, so that they had better not participate in the siege of Xuzhou, even if they can't stop it, they must delay it.

What he lacks now is time!

Just do it when you think of it, before leaving, Xu Ding went to find the two of them again, and asked for the two of them's personal tokens, plus a letter, and then took Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Lu Dai, Lu Chang and others, and the 20,000 sailors went south to Xuzhou.
