Pang Shanmin did not expect that after Cao Cao received the letter, his reaction would be so sensitive, and he immediately ordered Jia Xu to go to Xuzhou to take over the defense.

After Jia Xu arrived in Xuzhou, he migrated the people to the land of Qingzhou, cleared the wilderness, cleaned up military affairs, and put on a look of the imminent war.

However, Pang Shanmin was not worried about a decisive battle with Cao Cao, and Jing Xiang would make any mistakes.

During this period of time, Erxun's "reform" in Hebei was seen by Pang Shanmin, Hebei was smooth and rainy, and the grain was abundant, but it also made up for the dilemma of lack of food and grain in Cao Cao's war with Jingxiang before, and the people of Hebei did not need to worry about whether they would not be able to eat and wear because of the princes' conquest.

It's just in Pang Shanmin's view, Hebei only a bumper year is far from enough to qualify to become Jingxiang's opponent, if Hebei agriculture is doing well, then Jingxiang is the handicraft industry and commerce strides forward, more Jiangdong this new dumping channel, Jingxiang finance has a blowout growth, a few months of Erkuai smile on the face has never been broken, every time Pang Shanmin and his frank talk Tang King when the construction of a large number of buildings, now the court has a lot of money left, and it is time to push the Xiangyang Mansion to rebuild.

This is already the rhythm of having a lot of money and nowhere to spend......

However, Pang Shanmin did not agree to rebuild the government, although Erkuai was good at government affairs, but his vision was limited by this era, Pang Shanmin would rather invest more money in the newly built dock in Jiangdong, rather than go to rest a few flashy mansions, not to mention that it is undecided today. Even if the government is built with a grand momentum, it does not mean that the people under its rule live and work in peace and contentment......

If you want to say that the biggest change in the past few months, it is Jiangdong.

And Zhou Yu now knows why Pang Shanmin bewitched Jiangdong and fought with Cao Cao across the sea.

Sailing on the sea, the wind and waves are uncertain, and before Zhou Yu led the fleet to Qingzhou, there were not a few warships that were attacked by the wind and waves and capsized. Today, Jingxiang Academy and Jiangdong Dockyard are cooperating. He also built a lot of big ships far beyond the past, and the ships were equipped with slinging crossbows, looking at such sharp weapons on the water, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh if Jiangdong was a few years ago. There is this ship. Don't be afraid of the Jingxiang Water Army.

These newly built warships also made the originally disheartened Jiangdong generals. It was as if I had seen the dawn of dawn.

Jiangdong fell, and many Jiangdong Navy generals and soldiers thought that there would be no place for use in the future, and the attack on Hebei had nothing to do with the Navy Army. All the navy could do was to transport the land horses across the Yellow River, but the construction of the new ships and the ambitions of Pang Shanmin for the Nanyang and the Japanese kingdom made everyone in Jiangdong excited, from the generals and colonels to the soldiers.

"When the new ship is made and the fleet is formed, Pang will wait and see for the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingxiang Navy to crisscross the ...... seas"

This is what Pang Shanmin said when he left Jianye before, and the generals of the navy.

Not everyone likes peace and prosperity, just like these soldiers in the army, the life of the battlefield is called delicious, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others, originally Shui Kou, if they are allowed to live a peaceful life, it is obviously more uncomfortable for them than killing them, the life of Jin Ge Iron Horse, in the eyes of these soldiers, is the life that bloody men should choose.

Pang Shanmin had never thought that the new fleet that had unintentionally inserted willows would actually solve the problem of the failure of the Jiangdong and Jingxiang naval armies.

However, the most discussed in the court in the past few days is Jia Xu's arrival in Xuzhou.

As a strategist who Cao Cao relied on very much, Jia Xu's ability does not need to be said, he guarded Xuzhou, and Jingxiang people did not dare to easily Koubian, and now Ma Chao's soldiers Chen Liu, Lu Xun's soldiers Shouchun, are adjacent to Xuzhou.

Pang Shanmin knew that Jia Xu had arrived in Xuzhou, so he sent a letter strictly ordering Ma Chao not to disturb him, although the Xiliang army horse was brave, but if Jia Xu calculated, with the courage of Ma Chao, it was inevitable that he would not be tricked, as for Lu Xun, Pang Shanmin was still at ease, although Lu Boyan was young and heroic, but his mind was meticulous, and he was not far behind many battlefield veterans.

"Cao Cao is Baoqing, Xu Erzhou, Tun gathers heavy troops, has the lord ever thought about it, before my army attacks Hebei, first destroy the soldiers and horses of these two states!" In Pang Tong's view, if there are very few people who can compete with him on the battlefield today, Jia Xu and Sima Yi are both thoughtful and scheming, and they are the enemies of Pang Tong, if they send troops early, they can also grab meritorious deeds.

Do you use soldiers?

Pang Tong's words appeared above the court and received a lot of support, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both willing to be the vanguard and go to Qingxu, and even Xiangyang Erkuai, who had always advocated peace, also supported the use of soldiers in Qingxu for the first time.

Pang Shanmin looked at Er Kuai in surprise, and after a little thought, he understood why the two of them were abnormal.

Presumably, after Jiangdong was incorporated into the Jingxiang territory, all the families made a lot of profits, tasted the sweetness of aggression, and the attitudes of the Jingxiang families were reversed.

Thinking of this, Pang Shanmin couldn't help laughing and said: "Could it be that the two gentlemen forgot that Jia Xu had moved the people of Xuzhou to Qingzhou, Pang thought that it would not be long before these people would be moved across the river to Hebei......"

Pang Shanmin said, Kuai Yue looked sneered, but Kuai Liang smiled and said: "The Hebei that the lord wants, Qingxu and Erzhou must always attack first, Cao Cao can naturally move the people to Hebei, but when the lord attacks Hebei in the future, this Prime Minister Cao can still move all the people to the vast grassland?" ”

Kuai Liang's words made Kuai Yue suddenly realize, in this way, Qingxu must be fell, even if it is difficult to develop Qingxu to obtain huge profits, you can also earn back from Hebei in the future.

Pang Shanmin didn't care much about sending troops, and it wasn't Cao Cao's personal expedition, Pang Shanmin didn't have the interest to lead the army in person, and went to meet Jia Xu.

Since Pang Tong wants to compete with that poisoner, he is!

Thinking of this, Pang Shanmin was about to make Pang Tong the commander, but when he heard Zhuge Liang cough lightly, he said: "Lord, Liang also wants to ask the lord for this errand!" ”

Zhuge Liang said, Pang Tong frowned and said, "Kong Ming doesn't want to compete with Pang Mou?" ”

"It's not about merit, it's about shining with this person. There are still long-cherished grudges! Zhuge Liang said, smiled slightly: "In the past, he deceived Liang with few soldiers, led the army into Xuzhou, and fought Liang Liang was not embarrassed, but now he has the opportunity to take revenge, how can Liang miss it?" ”

It turned out to be the hatred of honest people!

Zhuge Liang rarely competed with others, but now because of Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang made an exception, and most of the things in the court in the past were for Zhuge Liang to avoid Pang Tong. Today's events. It made Pang Tong feel that it was time to repay his favor.

It's just that the opponent is Jia Xu, and Pang Tong's time is also quite hesitant, in Pang Tong's eyes. Those who can make their battlefield fun in the future. Only Cao Ying Guo Jia. Jia Xu and the two, as for Cheng Yu's resourcefulness, he is slightly inferior, and Sima Yi is inexperienced. Guo Jia must be the opponent that Jing Xiang will inevitably face when he attacks Hebei in the future, and it is not yet known who will grab the first prize at that time, but Jia Xu's entry into Xuzhou this time is a great opportunity to capture it.

The revenge of Xu Du's slaughter of the city had to be avenged.

Thinking of this, Pang Tong had an idea, and said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, if you are a pioneer general this time and attack Xuzhou, who would you like to be the military advisor of the army?" ”

Pang Tong said, Zhuge Liang understood what this guy's plan was.

Pang Tong had already convinced Zhang Fei when he was in Xiliang, the two had been working together for a long time, and they naturally knew each other's intentions, but before Zhang Fei could answer, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Now that the vanguard is undecided, why should Shi Yuan ask Yide what he thinks, if the vanguard of the army is Yun Chang, the military advisors chosen by the two are afraid that they are very different." ”

Although Zhuge Liang did not point it out, but such words made everyone in the court know that Pang Tong was plotting, Zhang Fei was about to say that Pang Tong should be the military advisor of the army, but when he heard Zhuge Liang mention his brother, he laughed and said: "This matter should be decided by the lord, don't force me to make this choice!" ”

Zhang Fei's words made everyone in the hall focus their eyes on Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin glanced at Zhang Fei with a smile and smiled, and said with a smile: "Where is the courage of Yide, if you said that Shiyuan should be the military advisor of the army before, there is no need for Pang to come to this troubled water, and now Pang Mou misses Gong Jin when he is there, if Gong Jin is handsome, there is no need to look at me Jingxiang Wolong, and the two of them compete for merit......"

Pang Shanmin's words made Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang have all the expressions on their faces, Pang Shanmin thought for a moment and said: "Then Kong Ming set out to fight, Shi Yuan accompanied Jing Xiang as a brother, since Pang Mou started the army, Shi Yuan rarely recuperated in Jing Xiang." ”

Pang Tong said hurriedly when he heard this: "If Kong Ming captures Jia Xu, Cao Ying can be the person in Pang Mou's eyes, only Guo Jia, the future expedition to Hebei will definitely be a large army, and I don't know who will fall into the hands of such a merit......"

"This is Shiyuan's true words......" Pang Shanmin said, Pang Tong's face turned red and said: "In fact, it is to attack Hebei, and my brother does not need to recruit in person, it is better to order Pang to oversee the army in the future and fight with Cao Cao, so that the credit of Xuzhou will be given to Kong Ming!" ”

"That's a big deal!" When Pang Shanmin heard this, he was angry and said with Pang Tong's eyes: "Today, let's talk about the matter for the time being, conquer Xuzhou, Yun Chang is in charge, Yide can be the vanguard of the army, and if the rest of the generals want to fight Jia Xu together, it will be decided by Kong Ming, as for the attack on Hebei, it is too early, Shiyuan has time to discuss this matter with Pang!" ”

Pang Shanmin said that, he ordered the dynasty to disperse, but Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang did not leave, and when the courtiers all withdrew from the court, Pang Tong said to Zhuge Liang: "Now Kong Ming's mind can be fulfilled!" Xuzhou's merits, I'm afraid it will be obtained by Kong Ming again! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said to Pang Tong: "Liang has let Shiyuan many times, this attack on Xuzhou, it is really Liang who wants to take revenge on Jia Xu, in fact, Liang also wants to try, what is it like to bully more and less......"

Pang Tong nodded when he heard this, and he didn't argue with Kong Ming, now Pang Shanmin has appointed Guan Yu as the commander and Kong Ming as the strategist of the army, and it must not be changed, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and Pang Tong does not want to be bored.

The two entered the back hall and met Pang Shanmin, and Pang Shanmin couldn't help laughing when he saw the two of them coming: "Shiyuan, could it be that you are so dissatisfied with Pang's arrangement, and you actually left Kong Ming to persuade Pang to change the resolution?" ”

Pang Tong heard the words and hurriedly said: "How can I be dissatisfied with my brother, Pang is here to offer my brother to make Kong Ming conquer Xuzhou, Pang has no opinion, but Meng Qi is alone in Chen, which makes it difficult for Pang to feel at ease, Pang wants to go to Chen and stay with Meng Qi to guard the lands of Yanzhou." ”

"You can't be idle." Pang Shanmin sighed lightly and said: "At that time, when Chen Liu, Shiyuan can be outside, and the military order will not be allowed to prevaricate Pang Mou......"

Seeing that the strategy was exposed by his brother, Pang Tong no longer covered it up, and said to Pang Shanmin: "If Xuzhou is attacked by the enemy, it will be much easier for Kong Ming to attack Xuzhou, and now there is only one Xuzhou." It is difficult to satisfy the appetite of the elder brother, if the Yanzhou army comes out, the elder brother is expected to win Qingzhou again before the year! If it happens, the elder brother can also prepare for the future expedition to Hebei.

"It's really embarrassing for Shiyuan to think of so many excuses......"

Pang Shanmin sighed lightly when he heard this: "Since Shiyuan has no intention of accompanying his brother in Xiangyang, he will go to Chen Liu, if he is forced to stay in Shiyuan, I am afraid that Pang Mou will not be able to clean his ears for several months......"

Pang Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Since this is the case. Pang immediately set off. ”

Let's talk about it. Pang Tong wanted to do it, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang and said: "Shi Yuan is going, but Zilong can also go to Chen and his party, and Pang also wants to point General Huang as a general." You and I rule over the Five Tigers. Swept Qingxu. It must be a great pleasure! ”

Pang Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said to Zhuge Liang: "That's right, Jia Xu has thousands of means. It is also difficult to stop the invincible of the five tiger generals! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he said: "Shiyuan must not be careless, that Jia Xu is ruthless, if he makes a strange plan, you and I will be embarrassed if you and I fall into his calculations......"

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Pang Tong nodded and said to Zhuge Liang: "Don't worry about Kong Ming, although Pang is confident, he will not underestimate Jia Xu, Pang also wants to see the poisonous ghost's scheme, can he have the ability to turn things around!" ”

In Xiaopei City, the soldiers of Cao Jun were busy.

Before Zhuge Liang a fire, the granaries in the city were burned down, and in the past six months, Cao Jun has renovated the warehouses and strengthened the city defense, but it is still difficult to satisfy Jia Xu.

In the past, Chen stayed in the city, and Jia Xu was overwhelmed by the many means of Jingxiang's army and horses, and Jia Xu did not think that Xiaopei's current city defense could block the Jingxiang army from attacking.

I hope that Jing Xiangyan will die down and recuperate within the year......

Jia Xu did not want to meet with Jingxiang's army and horses as soon as possible, and now for Cao Jun, the time to recuperate is the most important thing, Jingxiang is strong, even if he loses a few battles, it will not hurt, but for Cao Jun, if he is defeated again, he can only retreat to Hebei and defend along the river.

However, there is no naval army in Hebei, and only relying on merchant ships and troop carriers in the army to and from the river.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu sighed and secretly sighed that the rapid rise of Jingxiang was really unpredictable.

Just thinking about it, Jia Xu heard that the scout Pegasus was coming, saying that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had led the army and horses across the Yangtze River, and their army was mighty, I don't know how many of them.

Jia Xu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said to the scout: "Do you know who the military division of the army is?" ”

"It is rumored to be Zhuge Kongming......"

After the scout said, Jia Xu smiled bitterly, and only came back to his senses after a long time, and sighed softly: "It is always necessary to come......

"In addition, Jing Xiang and Feng Chicks also crossed the river and rushed to Chen Liu......"

After the scout said, Jia Xu was shocked, and secretly scolded Pang Shanmin in his heart for really paying enough attention to him, and his two major masterminds all crossed the river, so they fought him Jia Xu alone.

"Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, it can also achieve Jia's reputation, and now it seems that the Tang King really looks up to Jia, and sure enough, before slaughtering the city of Xudu, Jia and Jingxiang have died endlessly......" Jia Xu said, and ordered the scouts to leave and explore again, alone, and returned to the house.

If there is no time before Xu Du, it is to surrender to Jingxiang, and he can still make great achievements in the future, but now Cao Ying is full of civil and military affairs, and the most unacceptable person is the people of Pang Mountain, only Jia Xu is alone.

Now that there is no chance for a good minister to choose a master, Jia Xu simply no longer thinks about those things that are a foregone conclusion, and thinks hard about how to deal with these two current enemies who come from afar.

Jia Xu was thinking hard, it was difficult to find a strategy, and suddenly heard the waiter's report, saying that Zhang He was coming again, and when he entered, Jia Xu sighed: "Jun Yi must also know about the Jingxiang offensive, and it will be here in a few days......"

Zhang He said hurriedly: "Mr. should report this matter to the prime minister and ask for reinforcements, he heard that this time Jingxiang Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, the five tiger generals are all present, only He and Wen Qian, how to resist?" ”

"What a spirit!" Jia Xu sighed when he heard this: "Then you can tell Jia, who can I ask for help?" How many people are there under the command of the prime minister, who can stop the five tigers of Jingxiang? ”

"Wen Yuan, Zhong Kang can block one or two!" Zhang He sighed: "The rest can only rely on the strength of the people and compete with them. ”

Jia Xu nodded slightly when he heard this, for this occasion, only to bring Cao Cao's old book, and still be able to ensure that Xuzhou is not lost, thinking of this, Jia Xu wrote a book, summoned the messenger to come, and ordered him to return to Yecheng as soon as possible, and inform the prime minister of the incident.

When the messenger left, Jia Xu said to Zhang He again: "Wenhe should quickly rectify the soldiers and horses, Jia has asked for help from the prime minister, and he has done his best to help Xuzhou, and he has to work hard again......

"Mr. Fengxiao is also coming to Xuzhou?" Zhang He was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Jia Xu: "In this way, I am not afraid of Jingxiang!" ”

"Jun Yi is still too optimistic...... Jia Xu smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he couldn't bear to wear down Zhang He's confidence.

With Jingxiang's current wealth, it is not difficult to order these many soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao is afraid that this battle will consume most of the accumulation of a year of hard work, and even if this battle is won, it will only be a large-scale attack on Pang Shanmin in the future, and it will be delayed for a longer time.

Maybe Cao Ying's generals are more optimistic and naïve like Zhang He, thinking that they can block Jingxiang for a day, and they will block it for a day, but have these generals ever thought that if they go on like this, how can Cao Cao re-enter the Central Plains in the future?

If this consumption continues, Jingxiang will make Hebei increasingly tired, and eventually unable to compete with it.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu sighed and said to Zhang He: "If you leave early, Jia should also think about how to deal with the enemy who is coming......" (to be continued......)
