Zhou Xin's small actions At this time, he couldn't hide the eyeliner of the state capital. Chen Wen deliberately introduced the topic to this, just to 'knock on the mountain and shock the tiger', so that Zhou Xin knew the importance of it.

Lu Jun is the son of Lu Kang's brother Lu Xun, the father of Lu Xun, and Lu Kang is a close relative. Lu Kang went to Yuzhang County to be the Taishou, and took away most of the generals, soldiers, ships, and weapons in the county, and Lu Jun knew about it.

Therefore, Lu Jun really didn't know how to reply to Xu Chuyin's words, and smiled embarrassedly at the moment, which was over.

As soon as Chen Wen came up, he first commanded Zhou Xin's army, which shows that his anger at Zhou Xin is really 'hard to return'. As a Taishou, Xu Chu has never heard of intercepting the troops and materials sent to the front by the state capital without authorization.

This is also due to Chen Wen's generosity, otherwise if it were a thorn like Tao Qian, I am afraid that the two sides would have been working against each other openly and secretly.

In fact, what needs to be resolved today is not only the relationship between Xu Chu and Zhou Xin, but also the contradiction between Chen Wen and Zhou Xin. The Shanyue people of Huiji have become the biggest problem plaguing Yangzhou, and it is definitely impossible to rely on Huiji alone to solve it. The best way is that Wu County and Danyang County can give strong support to Huiji, so as to save the loss on the road and have more time to react. The problem is that one of the two counties is Zhou Xin, who is not cooperative, and the other is Sheng Xian, who was 'shelved' by the county sergeant clan, one is powerful and unintentional, and the other is powerless, which makes the Shanyue rebellion, which is not easy to handle, more and more difficult to control.

In desperation, Chen Wen could only send reinforcements from Jiujiang, but Zhou Xin, who was bold, dared to intercept him halfway, so that Chen Wen could not be angry. You must know that it is already half the effort to go to Huiji County through Danyang County, and if you detour to Wu County, the grain has not yet been delivered to Huiji, and I am afraid that half of it will be eaten on the way.

Therefore, compared with the contradiction between Chen Wen and Zhou Xin, the contradiction between Xu Chu and Zhou Xin is at most a secondary contradiction.

Before the Shanyue rebellion, Zhou Xin was still calm, but after Zhu Fu was defeated in Wusheng, he also knew that things couldn't go on like this.

As a key figure, Zhou Xin first put down his body, and successively saluted Chen Wen and Xu Chu slightly, and then said something righteous and awe-inspiring, and he was also the emperor and the emperor.

After this tone was set, the conversation finally couldn't get around the soldiers and food, don't do Zhu Hao's proposal, Youzhou Mansion, Lujiang, and Danyang all worked together to support Huiji.

Whether it is Xu Chu and Zhou Xin or Zhou Xin and Chen Wen, the root of the contradiction between them actually lies in the word power. And the fundamental power of the magnitude, in the current situation in Yangzhou, the most important thing is soldiers and food.

Zhu Hao's brother Zhu Fu is in Huiji County, and he is one of the main forces to deal with the Shanyue rebels head-on, so Zhu Hao said this for Chen Wen first under his concern.

This is also the proper meaning, there are counties in the state that have encountered rebellions, and the two counties of Lujiang and Danyang in the same state should be helped.

Under Chen Wen's gaze, Zhou Xin agreed, "I am willing to send a thousand elite soldiers, and ten thousand stones of grain and grass!" ”

Chen Wen nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Xu Chu.

Xu Chu is still thinking about it. It is impossible for him to send troops to ask for Dong soon, and he can give out a little food, but it cannot be in vain. At that moment, he rejected Zhu Hao's proposal on the grounds that Lujiang County had few soldiers to control the rebellion.

Zhu Hao was dissatisfied: "I heard that Xu Lujiang came from Yingchuan, and there are 5,000 people in the tribe, what does it mean to have no soldiers?" ”

Chen Wen coughed twice, signaling Zhu Hao not to say too much, so he said to Xu Chu: "Xu Qing has difficulties, everyone can understand. Lujiang County is short of manpower, so take out some food over there, what do you think? ”

Xu Chu smiled: "It depends on Zhou Jun." ”

Zhou Xinqi said: "Why do you have to look at Zhou?" ”

Xu Chu stretched out two fingers, but he said that it was okay to let me give food, but I had two requests, and I needed Zhou Xin to nod. The first request was for Zhou Xin to promise him that he could recruit a thousand troops in Danyang, and the second was to ask Zhou Xin for one person - Yao Sheng.

Zhou Xin was displeased, and was about to refute, when a state official sent a report.

The report that could be sent in when Chen Wen was discussing the matter was definitely not a trivial matter, Zhou Xin temporarily held back his anger and sat back in the banquet, only to see Chen Wen take the report and read it hurriedly, and suddenly said loudly: "Xu Qing has done a great thing!" ”

Xu Chuhu was suspicious, guessed the content of the report, and Guo Jia, who was sitting next to him, said softly: "Or Captain Cao has already spread the news of the 'first volunteer soldiers' to the public." ”

Xu Chu suddenly realized, counting from the day Xu Shu set off to Chen Liu, the calculation time should be almost at this time, and there should be an echo, maybe Xu Yuanzhi is now waiting for Xu Chu in Shu County.

Chen Wen circulated the newspaper, and when everyone saw it, the content was that Cao Cao issued a document - officially raised troops in Chen Liu, and formed an alliance with Xu Chu, the Taishou of Lujiang; He also publicly denounced the national thief Dong Zhuo and called on people of insight in the world to respond.

This report came at a good time, and after Zhou Xin read it, the anger in his chest suddenly disappeared. The rest, such as Chen Wen, Lu Jun, Zhu Hao, etc., also glanced at Xu Chugao.

Looking up to Xu Chu, not only because Xu Chu dared to publicly raise troops to denounce Dong Zhuo for the world, but also because Xu Chu was able to form an alliance with Cao Cao. At the same time, everyone felt ashamed of themselves in their hearts, and they all said in their hearts: Xu Chu's majesty is indeed worthy of his reputation.

Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, many people have become more famous. Among them were the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who opposed Dong Zhuo's abolition of the Son of Heaven, Bao Xin and Xu Chu, who left Beijing early and returned to their hometowns, and Cao Cao, who resigned from the post of lieutenant of Dianjun to recruit troops in Chenliu.

And with this 'first advocate of volunteers', Cao Cao and Xu Chu were once again pushed to the forefront while becoming allies.

Because of this matter, Zhou Xin agreed to Xu Chu's request. Because of this report, the final result of the deliberations here was: Xu Chu sent 30,000 stone of grain, Zhou Xin sent 1,000 elite soldiers, 10,000 stone of grain and grass, and Zhu Hao personally led 2,000 soldiers from Jiujiang County and some military rations to Huiji County for reinforcements.

Talking until late at night, everyone dispersed.

Chen Wen and Zhou Xin's ambitions for Yangzhou in the depths of their hearts will certainly not disappear, but presumably before the Shanyue rebellion is quelled, neither of them should get tired of it again.

On this trip to Liyang, Xu Chu wants to confirm this. If he hadn't talked to Chen Wen and Zhou Xin in person, he would always feel bottomless when he set out on the expedition in the future, and he was afraid that someone would plot behind his back. But judging from the reaction of the two to the 'first volunteers', this possibility is very small. And after the two learned that Cao Cao and Xu Chu had formed an alliance, they would definitely not dare to act on Lujiang easily.

At the cost of 30,000 stone of grain and permission to recruit a thousand soldiers in Danyang, this transaction seems to be a loss, but adding a Yao Sheng is another matter. In contact with Yao Sheng, it is obvious that his ambition lies in Kuang Zhengtian, as long as Zhou Xin is willing to let go, Xu Chu has the confidence to persuade Yao Sheng to go east with the army and show his talents.

At noon the next day, after Chen Wen held a banquet to entertain him, Xu Chu returned to Shu County by boat. After knowing that the two neighboring counties of Jiujiang and Danyang had no worries, Xu Chu was in a very happy mood, Guo Jia seemed to be deliberately unable to get along with Xu Chu, and only one sentence on the way back made Xu Chu's mood turn sunny to cloudy.

Guo Jia said: Chen Wen's body doesn't seem to last for a few years.

If Chen Wen really unfortunately died of illness in the past few years, then Yangzhou will really change. Although Chen Wen is generous, he is also a assassin appointed by the imperial court, if there is no restriction on Chen Wen, before the new assassin of the imperial court arrives in Yangzhou, Zhou Xin and the group of scholars in Wu County may have to do things again.

But these should be a few years later, Xu Chu didn't think much about it, and after the boat arrived in Xiang'an County, he immediately set off to return to Shu County.
