After Cai Mao and Zhang Yun retreated, Ming Jian called Huang Zhong again.

The veteran Huang Zhong was reused, and his son Huang Xu's illness was also cured, and his whole person looked radiant.

"Knock on Your Majesty!"

Huang Zhong saluted.

After Ming Jian motioned for him to get up, he said: "Han Sheng, I guess that the Sun family must have concealed their identities and hid in the homes of ordinary people, so this time your task is very heavy, you have to find a way to dig them out, you can use the reporting system, that is to say, encourage the people to report and expose, and at the same time let out the words, if someone shelters and takes in the Sun family, they will be punished for the same crime!" ”

Huang Zhong listened to it, secretly thinking that this method was good, and at the same time admired Ming Jian even more.

In this way, where else can the Sun family hide?

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the minister will follow this law to ensure that the Sun family has nowhere to hide." Huang Zhong said.

"In addition, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led the water army to fight, you cooperate with him to eliminate the water bandits, except for the most heinous criminals, everyone else should be sent home to farm, and the policies of the imperial court should be promoted." Ming Jian said.

Huang Zhong said: "The old minister obeys the order. ”

.......

The action against the Sun family was not as easy as imagined.

After more than a month of military operations, the water bandits in the 800-mile Dongting Lake were wiped out, but the Sun family still had no whereabouts.

There was no whistleblower, and the search of Jinyiwei secretly had no effect. Weapons and armor were not found.

After receiving the reward, Ming Jian was also quite puzzled, secretly thinking that either Zhou Yu was hiding deeply, or he had already escaped.

Thinking of Zhou Yu's character, he secretly thought that this person would definitely not go to Dong Zhuo, this road was more difficult to walk, and it was easy to be caught. In this way, there is only one way to escape from the sea, and Jiaozhou may be his target.

Thinking of this, Ming Jian immediately called Li Yuanfang and said to him: "Yuanfang, you immediately send someone to closely monitor Jiaozhou's assassin Shi Tuxie, and if Zhou Yu escapes to Jiaozhou, let him kill Zhou Yu and the Sun family on the spot." If Tuxie doesn't obey, you will immediately pass on my message and let Cao Cao lead the army to attack Jiaozhou! ”

"Obey the order!"

Li Yuanfang said in response.

......

Ming Jian's main worry is still Zhou Yu, if Zhou Yu is allowed to control Jiaozhou, it will be difficult to eliminate him in the future, although Tuxie is not a careerist, but Zhou Yu is a master of strategy, if Zhou Yu instigates Tuxie successfully, he will definitely seek power and usurp the throne in the future and seize the actual leadership of Jiaozhou.

Therefore, Ming Jian asked Jin Yiwei to report every three days, and it was important to spread the news of Zhou Yu and the Sun family to his ears.

Two months later, Li Yuanfang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, hurriedly walked into the temporary palace of Ming Jian.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, that Zhou Yu quietly sneaked into Cangwu and instigated Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju to send troops to attack Jiaozhou Assassin Mansion, and now Tuxie's family has been killed, Wu Ju has controlled the entire territory of Jiaozhou, and the minister is guilty of death!"

Li Yuanfang knelt on the ground, with a look of self-blame.

Jin Yiwei had been staring at Tuxie before, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu was looking for Wu Ju.

Cangwu has always been an important town in Jiaozhou, with 30,000 troops.

And Tuxie has always had a good relationship with Wu Ju, and he didn't expect Wu Ju to suddenly send troops, and when he reacted, Wu Ju's army, with the assistance of the Sun family, had already broken through the dragon weaving, and under Zhou Yu's suggestion, Wu Ju killed Tuxie's entire family and let the Tujia destroy the door.

Ming Jian sighed: "I can't imagine that the will of heaven is like this, and I don't blame you." I think it's because the Sun family is not exhausted, has Cao Cao's army moved? ”

"Your Majesty, Cao Shangshu has set off from the sea, and the vanguard troops are pointing directly at Panyu, with the benefit of our army, it should not be a problem to break through Jiaozhou."

Li Yuanfang said that he still appreciated the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

Ming Jian said: "Yuan Fang, you don't understand, Zhou Yu is extremely good at strategy, Jiaozhou has a very large geographical area, and the climate is weird, and the mountains and forests are dense, I'm afraid this time it will fall into a protracted war." Send a message to Cao Cao to destroy the enemy at all costs, and if necessary, set fire to the mountain. Then ordered Yizhou Assassin Liu Zhang to send troops to attack Jiaozhou, if Liu Zhang was ordered, it was easy to say, if he did not follow the order, he immediately ordered Wen Ping and Huang Zhong to lead the troops and attack the White Emperor City from the waterway! ”

Li Yuanfang hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

For Ming Jian, Zhou Yu's escape to Jiaozhou may be an excuse to deal with Yizhou, Liu Zhang has always wanted to be in a corner of peace, although he is mainly in the imperial court on the surface, but in fact he is the emperor of the soil in Yizhou.

And Yizhou, the country of abundance, must be controlled by the Han Dynasty.

If Yizhou wants to send troops to attack Jiaozhou, it can send troops from Jianning County, these places with many mountainous areas, I am afraid that the dispatch of troops is also very slow, and Liu Zhang will definitely take this opportunity to delay time at that time.

......

Sure enough, a month later, Liu Zhang sent someone to Jingzhou to meet Ming Jian.

However, Liu Zhang was entrusted to someone else this time, and it turned out to be Zhang Song who he sent.

For Zhang Song, Ming Jian naturally knows, this person is in Cao Ying, his heart is in Han, although he is Liu Zhang's courtier, but he is not optimistic about Liu Zhang, once there is a suitable object of allegiance, this person will betray.

After the summons, Ming Jian saw Zhang Song, who was really ugly, short, with a big head and a sharp mouth.

After Zhang Song met Ming Jian, he really said Liu Zhang's intentions, he was transferring troops to Jianning County on the grounds that there were few soldiers in Jianning County, hoping that the imperial court would give him half a year.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yizhou has been ordered, but there are less than 10,000 soldiers in Jianning County, and now if you want to attack Jiaozhou, you must transfer troops from all counties in Yizhou. Therefore, Liu Yizhou hopes that His Majesty can give him half a year. ”

Ming Jian sneered: "Half a year? I see that Liu Yizhou is stalling for time, right? ”

Zhang Song was taken aback, and looked at Ming Jian in surprise, everyone in the world said that today is a son who can distinguish between right and wrong, and is very benevolent, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

If you can take refuge in such a master, wouldn't you be able to give full play to your skills?

Thinking of this, Zhang Song's crooked ideas began to pop up.

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Zhang Song tried again.

Ming Jian smiled: "Yongnian is bold! Why tempt me? Clear-eyed people who don't know Liu Zhang, he is not enterprising, and only thinks about guarding Yizhou. But he went too far this time, and he dared to perfunctory the will of the imperial court. If you wait for half a year, then Wu Ju may have become the climate, do you know, that Wu Ju is now with the help of Zhou Yu and the Sun family, and he is no longer the same Wu Ju as before! ”

Zhang Song hurriedly said: "I see, Liu Yizhou miscalculated this time. I'm afraid that when the time comes, Yizhou will not try to make a conspiration with Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou will in turn try to conspire with Yizhou! ”

Ming Jian looked at Zhang Song and secretly thought that this person was really knowledgeable.

Once Zhou Yu gains a firm foothold, he will definitely send troops to attack Yizhou and plot to seize Hanzhong, so as to send troops to Guanzhong and compete with him for the world.

Yongnian has this view, and it is a wise person. In this way, how can Yongnian teach me? Ming Jian also said tentatively.

Zhang Song said: "Now Liu Yizhou's move is a move to bring about his own destruction, Your Majesty is angry, how can you not send troops to attack the city?" And it is only a matter of time before Jiaozhou attacks Yizhou, so it will be a disaster for the people of Yizhou! If Your Majesty raises troops, the minister is the guide, this is the map of the counties and counties in Yizhou, and now I dedicate it to Your Majesty, and please ask Your Majesty to raise troops as soon as possible for the sake of the people of Yizhou, and rescue them! ”
