The Jingzhou soldiers set up camp outside the city of Nanxiang and confronted the more than 8,000 Han troops in the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Among the Han army, there are commanders like Liu Yu, and peerless generals like Yang Yansi and Fu Youde. However, the Han army did not go out of the city to meet the enemy, but defended in the city, showing the enemy weakness.

Yang Yansi wanted to go out of the city to challenge, but was persuaded by Liu Yu, Liu Yu meant that since the Jingzhou soldiers thought that they had cut off the grain route of Chang Yuchun, they let him delay here, and we had 8,000 people and horses, and we would consume tens of thousands of them, which would be a big profit. If the Jingzhou soldiers reacted and ran to Wancheng to help Yuan Shu's army, it would be unfavorable to the situation.

And Yuan Shu's side, when he learned that the soldiers and horses of Nanxiang were blocked, he might be careless. Give Chang Yuchun's soldiers and horses a chance to take Wancheng, there are still 20,000 available soldiers on the Chang'an side, they can enter the Wuguan, cross the Zhejiang River to attack Wancheng, and give the Yuan army a surprise attack.

After Liu Yu's explanation, Yang Yansi also admired Liu Yu and agreed to Liu Yu's request, anyway, the grain and grass in Nanxiang were enough to last for more than a month. He is not afraid to confront the Jingzhou soldiers who came from afar.

This time, Liu Wei sent troops to attack Nanyang, which can be said to be the first battle to recover the world. Liu Biao took the lead in sending troops, that is, Nanyang was too important to Jingzhou, and once Nanyang was down, he had a lot of constraints. Liu Biao was forced to send troops.

And the other princes are also showing a wait-and-see attitude.

Zhao Kuangyin, who borders Yuan Shu, is also ambitious, and if the situation changes, he will definitely send troops.

Then there is Xuzhou Tao Qian, in the era of the history of the Three Kingdoms, he should have died in 194 AD. It's just because of Liu Wei's birth that the master of Yanzhou was replaced by Zhao Kuangyin, although Zhao Kuangyin coveted Xuzhou, but he had not yet sent troops to attack. Perhaps without this pressure, Tao Qian is still alive today.

Although Xuzhou's strength is not weak, and there are 80,000 soldiers and horses, he is pedantic and never takes the initiative to invade, that is, Yuan Shu often invades the border of Xuzhou, and he is also mainly defensive. Tao Qian sits on the rich land of Xuzhou, but he is not the master, which is really eye-catching.

Not only Zhao Kuangyin, but Yuan Shu is even more coveted for Xuzhou. It's just that compared to Yuan Shu, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know how many generations he is wiser. Although Tao Qian was incompetent, he was quite popular with the people, and Zhao Kuangyin was not as hostile to his father as Cao Cao, but he did not dare to easily send troops to attack Xuzhou.

But Zhao Kuangyin had his own methods, and learned through the investigation that because Tao Qian had no ambition, although he had two sons, he was incompetent. He was under the command of Wenwu, so he was naturally unwilling to entrust his life to Tao Qian. One of them caught Zhao Kuangyin's attention, and that person was Mi Zhu.

Yanzhou, Xuchang, since Zhao Kuangyin unified Yanzhou, he moved the administrative office to Xuchang. In the inner hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhao Kuangyin sat on the main seat, and there was a thin man sitting under him, who was a drama loyalty.

Xi Zhi is Zhao Kuangyin's most relied on strategist, and in history, he is also the person Cao Cao relies on the most. It's a pity that he died too early, although he didn't die as early as in history, but his health is not good, Zhao Kuangyin exhausted the medicine stones, but Xi Zhicai's body is not good.

Zhao Kuangyin is about thirty-five years old, and Zhao Guangyi is slightly younger, about twenty-seven or eighteen. The next drama Zhicai is actually as old as Zhao Kuangyin, but because of illness, he seems to be like an old man in his fifties and sixties, with a thin body and a thin and yellow face.

"Ahem, cough ......" Xi Zhicai kept coughing, Zhao Kuangyin's face was full of worry, and he said with concern: "Mr.'s condition is getting more and more serious, and the doctors in this state have no choice, it is said that there are several miracle doctors in Luoyang, why don't you go to Luoyang to take a look."

Xi Zhicai waved his hand and said: "The Son of Heaven is no less wise than Guangwu, over the years, Yanzhou's Jinyi Guard has been destroyed by me, I don't know how much. The Son of Heaven won't know about me, I just went to Luoyang, I'm sick and cured, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, it's better to leave this remnant body and give advice to the lord. My lord, if you invite me over, there must be something important, so let's get down to business. ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed, looked at Xi Zhicai and said: "If the soldiers and horses are attacking Yuan Shu today, in my opinion, Yuan Shu will definitely be defeated, and I am afraid that it will be too soon to lose Nanyang."

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "I also see the determination of the Son of Heaven to attack Nanyang, but I am afraid that he is Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, which is intended for Pei Gong." The sword is pointed at you, the lord. ”

Liu Wei went south to Nanyang, indeed he was not in a hurry to destroy Yuan Shu, but he still wanted to threaten Zhao Kuangyin and let him suffer from the enemy. Zhao Kuangyin didn't know anything, nodded and said: "I'm afraid that this battle will be protracted, and it can't be delayed any longer, once the Son of Heaven takes Nanyang, the development of Yanzhou will be difficult."

"Does the lord want to send troops to Xuzhou?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"It's not to send troops to Xuzhou, I thought of a way, maybe I can take Xuzhou without blood!" Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice.

Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? I wonder what the lord has come up with? ”

If he can take Xuzhou without blood, then for Zhao Kuangyin, his strength will be doubled, and the significance of sending troops to attack is very different from that of bloodless. If the soldiers are not bloody, they can directly make the people of Xuzhou follow.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "After the Xuzhou investigation, I learned that Tao Qian's health was not very good during this time, and I am afraid that it has only been these two years, and his subordinates are looking for a way out." There is a person under Tao Qian's command, named Mi Zhu, do you know Mr.? ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "The Mi family is rich in the world, with more than 10,000 diners and hundreds of millions of assets. His status in Xuzhou is unparalleled, like this kind of businessman, but the most speculative, now Tao Qian is not in good health, he will naturally seek a way out, why does he fall in love with you? ”

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "No, but I heard that Mi Zhu has a sister, named Mi Zhen, who is twenty-eight years old, but she is a beautiful country, and now she is waiting to be married, Mi Zhu has been looking for Ruyi Langjun for her sister recently."

Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhao Guangyi, who was arrogant on the opposite side, and said: "So the lord wants the second general to marry Mi Zhen and get the support of the Mi family, as long as Tao Qian dies, the lord can enter Xuzhou with the support of the Mi family?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded with a smile and said, "I can't hide anything from Mr.'s eyes!"

Immediately, Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said in a deep voice: "But I sent someone to talk to Mi Zhu, but he looked left and right and refused to agree, which really gave me a headache."

Xi Zhicai smiled when he heard this: "This kind of thing, the lord naturally can't send someone to say it casually, the matter of marriage must be hired by three media, not to mention that this matter is related to the rise and fall of the Mi family." You have to let Mi Zhu know how powerful the lord is, and at least let him see the second general himself. ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said: "It's a pity that I'm the lord of a state, and now the Son of Heaven is attacking Yuan Shu again, and I can't let go of Huainan's fat." So I have no time to take care of him, the second brother is young and vigorous, if I let him go to Xuzhou, I am afraid that there will be chaos, so in the details, I want Mr. to teach him. ”

Xi Zhicai laughed when he heard this: "What is there to teach here, I will personally accompany the second general on a trip, and do everything for the second general, it will definitely make the second general get Mi Zhenfang's heart, is it inconvenient?" Ahem......"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "If Mr. is in good health, this trip is none other than Mr., but if Mr. is unwell, I am afraid that the journey will not be successful, not to mention that the war in the south is urgent, and I can't leave Mr." I just need my husband to teach my second brother how to deal with it when I go to Xuzhou. ”

"That Mi Zhu is a good person, if the two generals are in power, the leader is extraordinary, if you want to please the woman, you have to let Mi Zhu attach, and you have to fight up and down Xuzhou and a lot of civil and military, I'm afraid I am tired of coping. I have to go to this trip, I am the head of the ministers, and I should be able to show the princess's attention to the Mi family. But Chen Gongtai, Cheng Zhongde and others are too rigid, and they can't do these things. ”

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said, "No, I am afraid that Mr. will not be able to stand the journey."

"I know this body, and staying in Yanzhou is also bedridden, and I can't do anything for the Lord. If you go to Xuzhou to see the scenery along the way, maybe it will be good. Xi Zhicai laughed while coughing.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes lit up, Xi Zhicai's body can be said to be his heart disease, and he can't be cured. If you really go to Xuzhou, just treat it as a play, maybe it's really good. Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Since Mr. insists on going, then I will approve it, second brother, you are going to Xuzhou, but the carriage is not allowed to go fast, if you encounter a beautiful place, you have to let Mr. recuperate." And you also have to find a famous doctor in Xuzhou to diagnose and treat Mr. ”

Zhao Guangyi arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, my younger brother will definitely take care of Mr."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "I am still a little worried about your trip, so I will send a fierce general to protect you, what do you think of Xu Chu?"

Xu Chu is the first fierce general under Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin sent Xu Chu out, which shows that Zhao Kuangyin attaches great importance to Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "Xu Chu is a general under the command of the lord, you can't leave the lord, the lord only needs to send five hundred elites." Tao Qian is timid and afraid, and the security in Xuzhou is quite good, so no one dares to attack me. ”

"No, if Mr. wants to go to Xuzhou, he has to let Xu Chu go with him." Zhao Kuangyin said with a resolute face.

Xi Zhicai still refused to let him, and Zhao Guangyi on the side arched his hand when he saw this: "Big brother, military advisor, I have a candidate here, who can accompany him to protect the safety of the military advisor."

"Oh? Who is this person? Zhao Kuangyin stroked his beard and said.

"Yu Ban Yu Wen Ze, this person was originally a general under Bao Xin, and later his soldiers and horses were incorporated by the eldest brother, I saw that Yu Ban was quite talented and had good martial arts, so he was promoted, this person's eldest brother has seen it." Zhao Guangyi said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyin stroked his beard and said: "This person's martial arts are not bad, he governs the army strictly, and he works seriously, if he can accompany you to protect you, I am relieved." Okay, let Yu Ban lead 500 troops, go to Xuzhou with you, and accompany you to protect your safety. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Kuangyin gave up his hand.

"Second brother, the affairs of Xuzhou are entrusted to you, you must listen to the words of the military advisor on this trip!" Zhao Kuangyin admonished.

"Big brother, don't worry!"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "So you can go down and prepare, the Son of Heaven is about to attack Nanyang, Yuan Shu is only afraid that it won't be long before he jumps, I am determined to get this piece of fat in Huainan, but I still have to prepare and prepare."

"Big brother, you're busy, I'll go down first." Zhao Guangyi retreated, and Zhao Kuangyin and Xi Zhicai pondered on the map of Huainan.

The next day, Zhao Guangyi and Xi Zhicai went to Xuzhou under the ban on taking 500 soldiers in disguise, Zhao Guangyi was ready to win Mi Zhenfang's heart and obtain the support of the Mi family, so that Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers could take Xuzhou without blood.
