Troubled Times Open Chapter 108 The Next Target
"Of course I accept it, although the war horse is a little more difficult, but it is not impossible, being able to have a relationship with a hero like Lu Xuantong is also good for the future of our family, as for Lord Tao, all his thoughts are still on Cao Cao's invasion, and even if he knows about it in the future, as long as we don't go too far, he will turn a blind eye." Mi Zhu said calmly. The so-called cunning rabbit three nests, the development of a family is the same, at this time the world is not peaceful, especially Tao Qian is already dying, so for the future of the family, their Mi family naturally has to have some relationships with other capable princes, and plan for the future, anyway, Lu Xuantong is just for those powerful and influential official eunuch families, their Mi family is just rich, but there is no background in terms of power at all, I believe that Lu Xuantong will not reject them, otherwise he will not negotiate a conditional deal with them.
"I see, big brother, is Cao Cao really that difficult to deal with?" Mi Fang realized something, but she paid attention to the war in Xuzhou.
"That's right, this person is really tight, I originally thought that after the three brothers Liu Xuande brought troops to help, they would be able to repel Cao Cao, but I didn't expect that the strength of our Xuzhou and Liu Xuande brothers would only be able to compete with it, to be honest, if it weren't for the three brothers Liu Xuande, I am afraid that most of our Xuzhou territory has fallen at this moment!" Mi Zhu said and remembered that he saw the Liu Guanzhang brothers some time ago, especially Liu Bei, who also looked like a hero, but unfortunately he started too late, and he only nested in a small plain now, otherwise this person would have to achieve a great cause in the future.
Just when the two brothers of the Mi family were discussing, the Zhen family in Hebei also made a decision at this time, like the Mi family, although the Yuan family was extremely strong, but they also decided to agree to Lu An's conditions, after all, many friends, many roads, and some war horses, in Hebei, a horse-producing area, there is still a way to put a little effort into it.
Lu An didn't know that his conditions had been accepted by the Mi Zhen family, and at this time he was discussing future military affairs and plans with his subordinates.
"Lord, the division of the field has been carried out in the other three counties, I believe it will be completed in a few days, and our form in the other three counties will be completely stabilized!" Sun Shao has been acting as an agent for Wuling's government affairs, and he said with a happy face at this time.
"Hmmm! This is the top priority, inform Jiang Wan, Pan Jun, and Gan Ning of them, and let them keep an eye on me during this time, in case those family heroes are engaged in tricks! Lu An nodded and spoke. The implementation of the new policy is actually a challenge to the original old forces, which is not so easy, if it were not for Lu An's firm grasp of military power, coupled with a series of iron-fisted suppressions, I am afraid that there would have been chaos a long time ago, so Lu An would definitely not have any carelessness.
"My subordinates know!" Sun Shao arched his hand and kept Lu An's words firmly in his heart.
"Well, just in case, Lingling and Changsha have to send someone over!" Lu An thought for a while, but said to himself. On Guiyang's side, Wei Yan and Pan Jun cooperated, and the manpower should be enough, but Lingling only Jiang Wan alone supported the overall situation, and Gan Ning in Changsha was the same, it was okay on weekdays, but the implementation of this new policy will always have a lot of things, in this way, I am afraid that the two of them will be a little in a hurry!
Thinking of this, Lu An's eyes drifted over the Wenwu under his command, thinking in his heart that it would be more appropriate to send someone out, Guo Jia must be excluded, this guy's laziness is no longer saved, not to mention that at the moment he and that Fan girl are having a hot fight, and they will get married soon, Lu An doesn't want to disturb his good deeds, Sun Shao has to help him take charge of Wuling's political affairs, Gu Yong is still in Changhe Academy, so those who can be sent almost don't have to think about it.
"Mr. Jia, how about you go to Changsha to be a county officer? You can travel the power of Taishou at the same time as Gan Ning! Lu An's eyes stopped on Jia Xu, who had been silent, and asked.
"Whoa!" Compared with Guo Jia's laziness, Jia Xu was much happier, he didn't say much, and directly arched his hand and responded to the matter.
"Huh! Then Zhou Tai will go to Lingling to be a subordinate Sima and take charge of Lingling with Jiang Wan! Lu An smiled slightly and said to Zhou Tai again.
"Yes, my lord!" Zhou Tai nodded, also without objection.
"Hmmm! You have to work a little hard recently, and strive to let the people of the other three counties return to their hearts as soon as possible, especially Mr. Jia, the big and small affairs of Changsha are under your control, Gan Ning I will let him only take charge of military affairs for the time being, and step up military training! Lu An said pointedly.
As soon as Lu An's words came out, Guo Jiajia Xu and the others all had a fine light in their eyes, what kind of intelligence they were, they immediately guessed Lu An's next step from Lu An's words.
The geographical location of Wuling is very remote, and if you want to get out of Jingzhou, there is only one route to take the official road, that is, to pass through Lingling, Guiyang, Changsha and other places continuously, and then you can go east and west. Of course, there may not be so many restrictions on taking the waterway, but the waterway is inconvenient and is really not the first choice. This is also the reason why Lu An is in a hurry to take the other three counties in Jingnan, the road is really impassable, if he does not control the other three counties first, I am afraid that he will have to be stuck here in the future and let others dominate.
Among the four counties in Jingnan, Changsha can be said to be the top priority, from the Yangtze River to the north can go out of Jingzhou, to the east is Yangzhou, although not as accessible as Jingbei, but it is the most important fortress in Jingnan, at this moment Lu An only proposed to let Changsha's Gan Ning step up training, Guo Jia and others immediately knew that Lu An was afraid that he had thought about the next step.
"Does the lord want to attack Jingzhou through Jiangxia, or go straight to Yangzhou?"
"Don't guess, I'll tell you! The four counties are just the starting point, and our next plan is Jiangdong! Looking at the strange expressions of the strategists under his command, Lu An had no intention of selling Guan Zi, and directly confided in.
There are many mountains and trees in the four counties of Jingnan, and the people are scarce, in fact, it is not a good place, compared to the Central Plains, it is far worse, not to mention that Huainan occupied by Yuan Shu, the population of any county is estimated to be as much as the population of the four counties of Lu'an.
Therefore, although Lu An is in charge of the four counties at this time, he is still too weak in front of the princes of the Central Plains, and Lu An himself naturally understands this, and set the next goal for himself early.
Jingzhou is a good place, but Liu Biao is not easy to mess with, although he has suffered a big loss in front of Lu An before, but he still has not weak strength, plus Lu An does not want to meddle in the melee of the princes of the Central Plains at this time, so after thinking about it, Lu An glanced at Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is actually the so-called Jiangdong, the richness here is not lower than Jingzhou, that is, the traffic is a little worse, a couple, a Yangtze River firmly blocks the road between Yangzhou and the Central Plains, but this is precisely the most ideal base camp of Lu'an. It's a little more troublesome to attack, but it's easier to defend. The reason why Zhou Yu in history won Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops with 50,000 elite soldiers in the Battle of Chibi is that Zhou Yu's own commander's ability has been exerted to the limit, but the geographical advantage is also the biggest advantage, otherwise with Cao Cao's ability, hundreds of thousands of troops would not be directly destroyed.
This kind of excellent rear Lu An will naturally not let go, not to mention, compared to the endless wars in the Central Plains, although Yangzhou is also divided by princes, but they are all small caterpillars, as long as Lu An has his hands free, I believe that peace is not a problem.
But Lu An's only concern is that I am afraid that someone has already had the idea of Yangzhou, this person is Sun Ce, according to later generations, next year Sun Ce will use the jade seal to exchange troops with Yuan Shu, and then break away from Yuan Shu, and lay a solid foundation for the future Wu State.
Although Lu An really wanted to catch up with Sun Ce and take the lead in occupying Yangzhou, but he had just taken the three counties of Jingnan, and the foundation was not yet solid, if he rashly sent troops, he might immediately catch fire in the backyard, especially in the special situation of Lu An, it is estimated that as long as his main force comes out, the family clan behind will immediately rebel. Therefore, Lu An could only endure for the time being, and when he completely controlled the situation in the other three counties of Jingnan, it was time for him to send troops.
"Hey, hey! The lord is really far-sighted, as long as we take Jiangdong, we will immediately have a stable rear, and it will be no problem to march into the Central Plains in the future! Guo Jia obviously expected Lu An's intentions, and chuckled lightly.
Jia Xu didn't speak, but his eyes were more bright, he glanced at Lu An quietly, but there were also a few joys in his heart, now he and his family are firmly under Lu An's control, it can be said that he is completely on Lu An's thief ship, Lu An has such a vision and ambition, it is also a good thing for him.
Although the others didn't think of so much for a while, after hearing Guo Jia's words, they immediately understood, Lu An is their lord, and if Lu An goes further, then they will naturally have room for improvement, so at this time, they are all high-spirited, looking forward to the beautiful future together.
"Although Yangzhou is good, but before it is pacified, everything is empty talk, the first thing we need to do is to quickly stabilize the three counties of Jingnan and send troops as soon as possible to prevent others from getting involved first!" Lu An Zhengse.
"Yes!"
