Chapter XXIV

Zhang Xuan invited Yuan Shizhong to talk about this matter, and sure enough, this time Yuan Shizhong did not shirk and accepted it with a smile, but Yuan Shizhong said another thing, saying: "I look at the system of the third brother's army, which is different from my little Yuan battalion, I want to form three battalions like the third brother, known as the German army, but I don't know what the third brother wants?" ”

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, how could he not be willing.

This is proof that Yuan Shizhong is as close as him.

Although Zhang Zhen promoted the system established by Zhang Xuan in Luo Rucai's army, in fact, Luo Rucai didn't care, and the people under Luo Rucai didn't care, and almost no one did it. still go their own way, but it's just an official title.

To a certain extent, the similarity between Xiao Yuanying's department and Zhang Xuan's department is far greater than the similarity between Zhang Xuan's department and Cao Ying's department.

"The eldest brother has this intention, why don't I support the younger brother?" Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

"In that case." Yuan Shizhong said: "I lack talents in my hands, why don't you divide me into one or two battalions of officials?" ”

Zhang Xuan was moved in his heart, Yuan Shizhong's words almost showed allegiance, Yuan Shizhong organized all the men and horses under his command into the German army, and gave up as many as two of the most important battalion officers below, which was an opportunity for Zhang Xuan to intervene in Xiao Yuan's camp.

This matter is also Yang's warning to Yuan Shizhong, let Yuan Shizhong not do it, and do it thoroughly. If you feel that Zhang Xuan is not worthy of assistance, you must leave early, if you feel that Zhang Xuan is worthy of assistance, you must devote yourself to it, and don't let Zhang Xuan feel that Xiao Yuanying has two hearts.

Yuan Shizhong did this, which really moved Zhang Xuan very much. Zhang Xuan raised Yuan Shizhong's status one place in his heart, and he was already second only to Cao Zongyu. In a sense, Zhang Xuan no longer regards Yuan Shizhong as a sideline.

However, Yuan Shizhong gave Zhang Xuan a problem.

Zhang Xuan himself still owes a battalion officer and doesn't know how to place it, where is there a talent for Yuan Shizhong. Zhang Xuan also knows that among the generals in the official army, there may be some talents, but like Zhang Guozhu, they can't be promoted greatly, at least not suddenly.

Zhang Xuan said with a somewhat wry smile: "Why should the eldest brother see outside, between you and my brothers, what can't be said, the affairs of the German army, the eldest brother only needs to report to me." I've done it again and again. ”

Yuan Shizhong listened to what Zhang Xuan said, and he was also relieved. After all, he is used to being a prince, and he is a subordinate at the moment, in fact, he is a little awkward in his heart. After hearing that Zhang Xuan didn't send someone, he was a little more relaxed.

Immediately, the two of them decided on the camp number, which was nothing more than choosing a few place names from the Guide Mansion. Such as Xiayi, Luyi, Yongcheng and the like.

After Zhang Xuan and the two discussed, He Hutou suddenly came to report and said, "My lord, there is a letter from Shouzhou." ”

Zhang Xuan stood up suddenly.

Now Cao Ying is in the south of Fengyang, and Zhang Xuan is in the north of Fengyang.

If you pass the news, it is too easy to have an accident through the boundary of Fengyang, so you can only make a detour to Henan, from Shouzhou to Runing, from the same road as Zhang Xuan's march at the beginning, to Guide, and then to Xuzhou, this detour will increase hundreds of miles.

Audio comes and goes.

For Zhang Xuan, who is accustomed to the speed of modern communication, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult. At this moment, I heard a letter from Cao Ying. For a while, there was a feeling of homesickness.

Seeing this, Yuan Shizhong also left first.

Zhang Xuan took the so-called letters, and found that it was not one, but several letters, and first looked for the order without Luo Rucai, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Sometimes no news is good news.

After all, if there is a big change in the south, I will definitely inform myself of the adjustment plan.

The rest of the letters include Luo Yujiao's, Zhang Zhen's, Zhou Fuchen's, Luo Dai's, Wang Du's, and Wang Dacang's.

Zhang Xuan realized in a trance that he had actually pulled out a faction in Cao Ying. Although the influence is still small, among these letters, that is, Zhang Zhen's letters are the thickest, Zhang Xuan decided to put him last, and the first thing he read was Luo Yujiao's letters.

Luo Yujiao's letter is not long, it seems to be just a faint greeting, and the words written by Luo Yujiao are not too talkative, just not ugly, but Zhang Xuan seems to see Luo Yujiao through these words, his heart is slightly hot, and he said secretly: "Yujiao, it won't take long for us to settle down and never have to be displaced anymore." ”

Every time he thought of Yujiao, Zhang Xuan had an extra desire to attack Jiangnan.

saw Luo Yujiao's, and then Zhang Xuan looked at Luo Dai's.

Luo Dai's letter should have been ghostwritten by someone else, and he said in a wordy way, that is, he lost the battle and lost to Huang Degong, he was very unwilling, very unwilling, and asked Zhang Xuan to think of an idea, so as to kill Huang Degong and avenge him.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw it, thousands of miles away, where is there any plan, I really think that he Zhang Xuan is Zhuge Liang.

But there is one thing, Zhang Xuan has some doubts in his heart, looking at the meaning of Luo Dai's words, the army and Huang Degong confronted each other in Shouzhou, and it seems that they did not use all their strength, why is this?

Zhang Xuan was puzzled, and immediately cut Zhou Fuchen's letter, Zhou Fuchen's letter seemed to be an official document, explaining what he had done during this period of time. Zhou Fuchen's sailors, there is no war at all. Escort grain and grass every day, from Runing to Shouzhou City. If you want Zhang Xuan to transfer him out of the water division, then you can be a sentry again.

Zhang Xuan was even more puzzled in his heart.

Then he opened the letter of the king.

If Zhou Fuchen's letter seems to be a letter, then Wang Du's letter is simply an official document.

On top of this official document, let's talk about it first

Ru Ningxia collected, said that the virtue of the general, the people of Runing got a year-old food, and then wrote about the situation in the counties of Runing, and then finally said that Runing's support for the Shouzhou army has reached an extremely dangerous level. The granaries of the counties have been exhausted, 100,000 taels of silver have been used, and the people's grain has also been exhausted, and all that is left is the people's rations. And the fate of Shouzhou to destroy grain is unsolved. If this continues, "the legacy of General Runing will be empty, and the people will not be happy to obey the officials, which is the reason for the heavy conscription." The reason why the righteous army won the official army was because of the virtue of lightly repaying the thin endowment, urging grain in one summer and three times, the people were afraid that they would change, and before the autumn harvest, Runing ran out of grain. ”

Zhang Xuan was distressed.

How much effort he spent in Runing, only he knew, and he also knew that the situation in Runing had to last for a long time in the troubled times. But he was never willing to let Runing's current situation be ruined in the hands of Cao Ying.

"Why the hell is that? If the army is quick to decide, it won't need so much food. Zhang Xuan's heart was full of doubts, and he said secretly: "What is Luo Rucai going to do?" ”

With these doubts, Zhang Xuan cut Zhang Qian's letters, Zhang Zhen's letters were the thickest, there were more than a dozen pieces of letterhead, Zhang Zhen recorded all the words that Luo Rucai had taught Luo Yulong, plus the current situation in the army, wrote them one by one, but did not write his own opinions.

Of course, not expressing an opinion is also an opinion.

Zhang Xuan sat on the chair, feeling stunned and denied. What's even more uncomfortable is that after being denied, Zhang Xuan must also admit that the person who denies himself is right. I understand that many things cannot be undone.

etc., it is indeed a good way.

But this is the solution of the rich, not the poor.

If Zhang Xuan hadn't laid the foundation in Runing, even if Luo Rucai got a lot of food from Li Zicheng, he wouldn't dare to confront him in Shouzhou like this. The confrontation itself is a kind of battle, but it is not human life that is consumed, but food.

That's not a lot of food to consume.

The only thing that makes Zhang Xuan fortunate is that it is almost July now, and the autumn harvest is just over a month, Zhang Xuan still remembers that he arranged a lot of spring wheat in Runing, and now it is time to harvest, and it can be supported for a while, and then it will be the autumn harvest. Runing's form should be much better.

No matter how bad Ru Ning's situation was, Zhang Xuan could only ignore it. Without him, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip.

Zhang Xuan retracted his thoughts and thought about Cao Ying's strategic changes, and what adjustments should be made to his actions.

"Before the Qin army leaves the customs, it is necessary to calm down. Don't worry about the canal or even Fengyang first. Zhang Xuan said secretly.

There was a thunderous roar, but after a while, the rain poured down. July is already in the middle of the rainy season.

"It seems that whether it's the weather or something else, I have to stay in Xuzhou for a while longer, is this the so-called day stay?" Zhang Xuan looked at the heavy rain and said secretly in his heart.
