"I'll get you!"

"Ahh With an exclamation, Xiao Qiao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly got up like a conditioned reflex. Although she soon realized that she had just had a nightmare, she still couldn't calm down when she came back to her senses, and even she could hear the sound of her violent heartbeat.

"What's the matter, ma'am, are you having a nightmare?" Such a drastic movement naturally did not make Zhou Yu, the veteran of the battlefield, turn a blind eye, and when he was awakened, he saw that his wife was still shocked, so he quickly got up and stroked her back and asked.

"Yes, I had a nightmare!" Xiao Qiao panted, and then he felt that he was sweating profusely behind his back. "Gong Jin, hold me to sleep!" Xiao Qiao, who fell asleep again, suddenly said, Zhou Yu only thought that his wife was too frightened, and quickly hugged her in his arms at the moment.

"Gong Jin, are you going to Poyang again soon?" Lying in her husband's broad arms, Xiao Qiao asked leisurely.

"Yes, Zhongmou has just ascended the throne, and I don't think some young people will be so peaceful." Zhou Yu said lightly, but there was no trace of worry in his tone. Xiao Qiao also knows that this difficulty is not difficult for her husband.

"Gongjin, can I go to Poyang with you?" Xiao Qiao thought for a moment before saying.

"Then how can it, Ying'er, how can you casually place your family in the army?" Although Zhou Yu dotes on his wife, he can't mess with military law. (Note: Xiao Qiao's name is no longer available, and this book is tentatively designated as Qiao Ying)

"I just want to be closer to you!" Xiao Qiao pulled one of Zhou Yu's arms and said coquettishly, and at the same time rubbed Zhou Yu's arm with the twin peaks on his chest, and Zhou Yu suddenly became soft. Without waiting for him to object, Xiao Qiao said again: "Besides, I don't live in a military camp, didn't Poyang already have a county before, you just need to find a house in the city." It's been almost three years since we got married, but we still don't have children, and I just want to have more opportunities to get together with you. Speaking of this, Xiao Qiao was also a little gloomy, and then fell silent.

"Okay!" Knowing that his wife has always wanted a child, Zhou Yu couldn't bear to disobey her kindness, and after agreeing, he stroked his wife's hair lovingly, and after getting her husband's permission, Xiao Qiao also took a long breath, but saw Zhou Yu smiled softly and said: "Since Mrs. wants a child, she should obey her husband!" After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Qiao to make any suggestions, he immediately started the battle again, and for a while, the moving moan resounded through the bedroom.

Zhou Yu said that although the clouds were light and the wind was light, Jiangdong in the next few months was not very peaceful. Some of the big families, especially those who had grievances with them during Sun Ce's pacification of Jiangdong, began to jump out one after another to find trouble. Among them, there are some people, Sun Ce did not kill them in order to win the hearts of the people, but on the contrary, he also gave them a high official position, but now he also uses the power in his hands to start making trouble. In addition, after Liu Biao of Jingzhou learned of Sun Ce's death, he began to deploy heavy troops in the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangxia County, always with the intention of advancing eastward. Not only that, Liu Biao also sent the Shi family's "only remaining fruitful" Shiwu to Jiaozhou to build momentum, so that Sun Jing, who stayed in Jiaozhou, was also a little in a hurry. Regarded as the four counties of Jiaozhou, almost half of the territory under Sun Quan's rule began to be unpeaceful.

In this extraordinary season, Sun Quan, who has just taken office, shows some calmness that does not match his age. Following his brother's instructions, Sun Quan let Zhang Zhao take care of internal affairs, and at the same time sent Zhou Yu to quell the rebellion in the six counties of Jiangdong. In terms of Jiaozhou, Sun Quan unexpectedly authorized Zhuge Jin, a native of Nanyang who had just come out, to assist his uncle Sun Jing in dealing with it, which surprised many people. However, Zhuge Jin, who was the captain of the Zan military academy (the official position of Lu Su in history), did not disappoint Sun Quan, and soon after his arrival, he succeeded in stabilizing the situation in Jiaozhou, and Shiwu was forced to return to Wuling County.

Regardless of the Jiangdong fight in full swing, in Xuzhou at this time, Liu Bei, who was watching the fire from the other side, was not idle. At Zhao Feng's suggestion, the armies of Xuzhou and Yuzhou began to implement military and political reforms.

Today, Liu Bei's two prefectures, plus the three counties of Qingzhou and Huainan and Taishan counties, have a population of nearly 5 million after the plague. In terms of troops, Zhang Fei garrisoned 100,000 troops in the three counties of Qingzhou, 140,000 in Xuzhou, and 120,000 in Guan Yu in Yuzhou. Together with the recruits who are being trained and the county soldiers and Tuntian soldiers from all over the country, there are more than 400,000 troops under Liu Bei's rule. In contrast, the population under Cao Ying's rule was more than 4 million, and the total number of various armies was about 400,000. Of course, there are less than 300,000 front-line combat troops. Yuan Shao is more exaggerated, although the people under his rule who have experienced the plague are only more than 6 million, but the army has reached nearly 1 million, of which there are 700,000 front-line combat troops, which is exaggerated.

In addition, because he was in troubled times, the Son of Heaven was held hostage by Cao Ying, and he often issued orders to "take care" of Xuzhou, so the official positions of Liu Bei and others also changed in a few months. Now Liu Bei is still a lieutenant, but according to the official position system, the staff he should have has not been fully equipped. Liu Bei also felt that the implementation of orders was becoming more and more unsmooth, so he also intended to carry out political reform and military reform.

At present, everyone's official positions are reshuffled, Liu Bei is still a lieutenant and Xuzhou pastor, Yuzhou Mu Guan Yu, and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Zhang Fei. The officials of other major counties, Taishan County Taishou was served by Chen Zhi, Runan Taishou was Wei Yan, Anfeng and Yiyang were merged into Anyang County, Taishou was Xu Sheng, and the rest remained the same. Among the three counties of Qingzhou, Chen Gong was appointed as the Taishou of Yangcheng, Zhang Fei was the Taishou of Beihai, and Wei continued to be the Taishou of Donglai. At the same time, due to the plague in Qingzhou, the population has decreased sharply, and the three counties of Qingzhou occupied by Zhang Fei are only afraid that the total population is less than 300,000, and it is difficult to support the 100,000 army under Zhang Fei.

For the rest of the official positions, considering that Xuzhou is the base camp, the administrative organs must be as complete as possible. Chen Qun, who is proficient in internal affairs, is engaged in Yincao, Gao Shun, who is good at military training, is engaged in Bingcao, Sun Gan is engaged in Shucao, and Zhao Feng, who is good at farming, is also engaged in a handful of grain Cao. Liu Bei is a Taiwei, according to the system, there should also be subordinate officials of the Taiwei Mansion, and Lu Su was appointed as the head of the Taiwei Mansion at the moment, and the remaining twenty-four subordinate officials were selected from the local officials.

Of course, the most important thing is military reform. According to Zhao Feng's suggestion, each branch of the army was separated. Xuzhou had a total of nearly 20,000 cavalry, most of which were led by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the remaining Zhao Feng commanded 4,000, and the rest were sent to Yuzhou to Guan Yu. The rest of the infantry, with one division for every eight thousand men, and one or several divisions for each general. Fortunately, Liu Bei is a lieutenant and has the right to appoint generals, so it is not important to send out miscellaneous generals one by one. As for the configuration of 8,000 men in each division, it was finally finalized as 1,000 crossbowmen, 1,000 shield men, 1,000 pikemen, and the remaining 5,000 were ordinary infantry. The crossbowman is equipped with two longbows, 100 arrows, and only a waist knife; The shield soldiers are specially equipped with large shields, unlike the rest of the infantry, which are at most equipped with rattan cards, which are used to defend the front when forming a formation; The pikemen were armed with a one-foot repellent rifle, which was used to match the shield soldiers against the cavalry. The rest of the ordinary infantry, each of them is equipped with ordinary spears and waist knives. As for the number of troops, in line with the principle that the elite is not too expensive, Liu Bei still assigned nearly 60,000 front-line troops to local guards, but the salary was quite a lot, so that while improving the combat effectiveness of the front-line army, it also appropriately increased the reserve force.

In terms of the navy, the navy water village has been built, and the ships made by Lu Xun are enough to arm a navy of 10,000 people. At present, Lu Su, Xu Sheng and Wen Ping are still responsible for this aspect. At present, there are more than 8,000 soldiers and soldiers in Xuzhou, and more than 100 large and small ships, and the commander is naturally Lu Su, and Liu Bei gave him the number of General Fubo. At Zhao Feng's suggestion, Lu Xun did not build a building ship, but now the largest warship can also carry five hundred soldiers. Of this type of ship, the Xuzhou Navy Division has been equipped with eight.

"Bo Tao, Zijing, do you think it's okay to use troops against Jiangdong now?" In the Xuzhou Mansion on this day, Liu Bei looked at the latest information and found that Jiangdong was already in chaos, and he felt that he was going to take advantage of the fire to rob.

"Don't worry, my lord, to look at it, although there is a lot of civil strife in Jiangdong at the moment, it is not yet the time to break your muscles and bones." Lu Su said slowly, and then further explained: "Although there are many people in Jiangdong who are in turmoil at present, most of them are independent and unable to form a climate, at most there are no more than 1,000 people, and the official position is only the head of a county. Su estimates that there will be bigger moves in the future! ”

"Feng also thinks so!" Zhao Feng nodded in agreement. He remembered that not long after Sun Ce's death in history, the county of Huiji, Sheng Xian, rebelled, and even pulled up a team of thousands of people at one point. Now that Sheng Xian is still dormant, it is obvious that Jiangdong has not yet been messed up to the roots. As for Xu Gong, since Sun Ce died, this guy has also pierced the layer of window paper, from being closer to Liu Bei from the original, it can now be said that it has been completely reversed. Qianyue even sent a direct letter to persuade Liu Bei to send troops, but Zhao Feng still hoped to save this trump card for the official start of the war, so he suggested that Liu Bei not move lightly for the time being, and also wrote back to Xu Gong to ask him to be careful.

"If that's the case, then wait!" Liu Bei also nodded in agreement. At this time, it was the summer of 199 AD, and hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides of Cao Ying and Yuan Shao were facing each other in Guandu. Cao Ying had few soldiers, so he adopted the advice of the strategist Guo Jia to fight a war of attrition with Yuan Shao, focusing on holding on. While lengthening the opponent's front, he constantly harassed Yuan Shao's grain route. Yuan Shaojun faced such a posture up and down, and it was like a mouse dragging Wang Ba - there was nowhere to start.

"Fengxiao, I played Zhao Feng as Nanyang Taishou, how is he now?" In the barracks that day, Cao Ying suddenly remembered this incident and asked at the moment.

"There is no news yet, Prime Minister, Zhao Feng is still in Xuzhou, and he has not taken office, it seems that Liu Bei has not even sent someone to contact Liu Biao, as if there is no such holy decree." Guo Jia said with a slight frown.

"Huh?" Cao Ying was a little surprised. "The previous appointment of Wen Ping as the Taishou of Runan, Liu Bei and Guan Yu immediately agreed; Now that Zhao Feng has been appointed as Nanyang Taishou, he didn't go? Isn't Liu Bei afraid of offending Liu Biao? Cao Ying thought about it and only felt that his idea was really incredible, how could Liu Bei be afraid of Liu Biao, on the other hand, it was almost the same. At this time, someone came to report that Yuan Shao sent troops to attack again, Cao Ying hurriedly reorganized his army to fight, and Zhao Feng's affairs were not taken care of for the time being.

He couldn't take care of Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng still had to live his own life. The second batch of students of Xuzhou College is about to graduate, and that night, Zhao Feng was checking the files of the three hundred graduates of Wuke, but he heard the housekeeper report: "Master, someone is visiting!" ”

"Who?" Zhao Feng put down the information in his hand and asked.

"The person who came was very angry, and he refused to say his name, only that he came from the river, and you will know it as soon as you hear it, master!" The butler was a little puzzled, he had never seen such a strange guest.

"River up?" Zhao Feng was also stunned when he heard this, and then reacted suddenly: "Could it be him?" At that moment, he quickly ordered the housekeeper to invite people to the living room, and he changed into formal clothes and went to meet the guests.
