Chapter 103: Pi County

"What does the lord mean that Cao Song has been remembered by Tao Qian's subordinates?"

In the dark room, the three of them sat facing each other, and Wu Yong looked surprised. looked at Zhou Chen, as if he still couldn't believe it.

"That's what I've heard." Zhou Chen's face was solemn, "It is impossible for Tao Qian's subordinates to be unmoved by the property brought by Cao Song, and the probability of making a move is more than eighty percent!" ”

"Yes." Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "If this matter can be used well, maybe it will be of great benefit." ”

"That's what I meant." Zhou Chen pointed his right hand and pointed to the map in front of him.

"Qingzhou and Xuzhou are adjacent to each other, and they are both coastal counties. The north has been chaotic, and there are Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao in Jizhou, which cannot be attacked; There is also Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Cao Cao is like a jackal lurking in the dark, he may pounce on it at any time and bite it, we must be careful to guard against it.

And his subordinates are not weak, with the support of the Xiahou family and the Cao family behind him, it is not easy to take him down. ”

Then his right hand moved, pointing to the area of Youzhou.

"Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, although the vitality is greatly injured, but its territory is really a little far away from us, and it is not good for him to go on a long-distance expedition, and there is a Yuan Shao in the middle, even if it is laid, it is difficult to hold it for a long time."

"Youzhou is barren and sparsely populated. Although there are many horses, the lord is not short of horses, and it is useless to take them, so he can give them up first. Xu Maogong said in an analytical manner.

"Yes." Wu Yong also nodded, "Xu Junshi's analysis is reasonable, and Gongsun Chan is not easy to mess with, and his background is still there, if you want to take Youzhou, the loss is not small." I'm afraid that I will be taken advantage of by others. ”

"That's what I thought too." Zhou Chen bowed his head, "Youzhou is not advisable, Yanzhou cannot be taken, and Jizhou is chaotic, and it is also unacceptable." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Chen paused, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

"Chang'an, Yuzhou is in the midst of war, Li and Guo Yan are afraid that they are going to fight, let's not go to the muddy water, besides, there is a dangerous person there"

Wu Yong noticed the look of jealousy in Zhou Chen's eyes, and he also noticed it in his heart. The intelligence department must collect information from all over the world as much as possible, and since Chang'an has capable people, it is natural that they must also collect information.

Xu Maogong had just arrived, but he didn't notice the difference in Zhou Chen's tone, and said after a while: "In this case, Xuzhou is indeed a good choice." ”

Then, he pointed to Xuzhou.

"Xuzhou is near the sea, there has been no war all year round, and the people are solid. And its lord Tao Qian is not enterprising enough, but the harvest is good, presumably there is a lot of grain, if you can get Xuzhou, if you get a granary, you don't have to worry about food in the future. Xu Mao said with public funds.

Wu Yong also agreed: "The grain in Xuzhou is enough for my 100,000 troops for several years, and then the lord will not need to worry about food and salary." ”

"That's what I mean!" Zhou Chen got up, dusted off his body and said: "There must be a battle between Tao Qian and Cao Cao, I should go to Xuzhou as soon as possible, so I have an excuse." When the time comes, find an opportunity to settle in it in the name of supporting Xuzhou, so that you can easily obtain the land of this state! ”

Xu Maogong and Wu Yong glanced at each other, secretly agreeing in their hearts.

"The Lord has a good plan!" The two stood up and looked at each other and smiled. It's still nice to have a smart lord.

"Alright, that's it!" Zhou Chen waved his hand, "Master Xu, you can help me manage the affairs of Qingzhou first, if it is complicated, you can give some to the military division, he is familiar with the regulations, and it is easier to handle it." ”

Then he turned to Wu Yong and said, "Strategist, I will take someone to Xuzhou, and I will bother you to take care of it for the next period of time!" ”

Wu shook it lightly with a feather fan, a thick smile on his face.

"Don't worry, my lord, do your best!"

Zhou Chen showed great trust in his subordinates, which made the hearts of the two warm.

"Ding, the host's trust prompts Wu Yong and Xu Maogong's loyalty points to increase, Xu Maogong's loyalty +3, Wu Yong's +2."

Zhou Chen was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that one of his inadvertent actions would get additional benefits. In this way, it is almost impossible for Xu Maogong to rebel.

The plan is certain, Zhou Chen is also resolute, and immediately came to the barracks.

In the barracks, puffs of cooking smoke rose, and the smell of food wafted throughout the barracks.

"Lord!"

"Hello Lord!"

Along the way, the soldiers saw Zhou Chen put down the food in their hands and said hello.

The food of the Qingzhou Army is definitely superior compared to other armies! In order to improve the physique of the soldiers, Zhou Chen ordered that meat must be included in the daily meal.

Only in this way can the soldiers persevere under the high-intensity training, otherwise, with some clear soup and little water, how can these soldiers train?

"Let's all eat! I'm here to find your canon. ”

"Brother Zhou, I'll take you there! I'm familiar with the barracks! ”

Zhou Chen heard the sound, but he was second-rate.

"You kid, go, go, eat! Lao Tzu still uses you to lead the way? The barracks were built by Lao Tzu! Zhou Chen scolded with a smile and walked straight inside.

This second-rate grandfather is a native of Anle County, and he can live by buying some gadgets. Over the years, the days have been getting better and better, and the grandfather and grandson also know that it is Zhou Chen's credit, and when they heard that An Lejun's treatment was good, the second-rate grandfather found Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was naturally happy with many people in the army, and since then he has accepted it.

"Brother Zhou, don't go! The head of the Dianjiao went to find the head of the Wu sect, in Nanying! The second-rate man pulled Zhou Chen's sleeve and pointed to the south with his other hand.

"It's done, you better go to dinner! I see. ”

The second-rate son thought that he still had to train in the afternoon, and he couldn't do it without eating at noon, so he didn't fight anymore.

"Come on, Brother Zhou is leaving!"

Zhou Chen, who was leaving, heard this, and he was also unstable, sister, this is a curse for me to die!

Pi County (Note: that is, Xia Pi. This title started from the Republic of China, and for convenience, let's call it so. )。 A nice place. It is close to the political center of Xuzhou, and upper-class people are more common, and officials appear all over the streets.

Where there are people, there is a market. There are a lot of officials in Pi County, and there are naturally a lot of small stall holders who set up stalls, and as soon as there are more businessmen, the economy will circulate, don't look at this Pi County is just a small county seat, but there is a lot of money.

Xuzhou is rich and well-known all over the world, and its geographical location is very good, strategic! Businessmen who pass through Xuzhou also come here for a trip, and Pi County, which is the political center, also benefited.

On this day, the weather was good, the sky in Pi County was clear, the cries were endless, and countless merchants and small shops on the street were dumping their goods.

In the afternoon, the lively Pi County ushered in three people who were dusty
