In the golden autumn of August, the fourth year of Zhongping is about to come to an end, and the great changes in Jianghuai caused by Tao Qian's illness and death are nearing the end

For Wang Yu, Liu Bei and other people in the game, this period of time is very long, but for many onlookers, this series of changes happened too quickly and too suddenly, making them feel dizzy.

Several powerful parties in Xuzhou sniped at Qingzhou, but ended in a complete rout.

Liu Bei and Cao Bao were defeated one after another, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, and even their whereabouts are unknown.

Que Xuan fully showed the characteristics of an ignorant and shameless nouveau riche, in a sense, his defection to Wang Yu was the biggest turning point in the Jianghuai upheaval, and it was because of his defection to the enemy that Wang Yu not only easily solved an enemy, but also took the lead in the strategy of attacking the evil spirit. The local powerful faction only has half of Guangling as its last stronghold, and although it is not conclusive, it will be difficult for them to regain their former momentum

On the other hand, Wang Yu and Bie Ce had a big fight, but as a prince, they played heads-up, and even used their fists and kicks in the end, which caused a lot of ridicule, after all, it was too unseemly.

In the end, although Wang Yu's reputation for bravery was achieved again, but the Sangyu who lost the strategy was reaped to the east, and Zhou Yu's performance in Jiangdong easily shook the world. The threat of brushing up was thus removed from the category of petty local fights, and was officially included in the category that must be considered by the princes

However, none of this is as great as the impact of Wang Kai and Yuan Shu's alliance again

After this covenant was reached, the risk of being attacked in both the north and south directions of Qingzhou was temporarily eliminated. It is possible to concentrate most of the forces to move westward to fight for the Central Plains.

And Cao Cao, who can block him in the east, is in full swing with Dong Zhuo, although it is not without arrangements on the eastern front, and the remaining troops may be strong compared to Yuan Shu, but in front of the main force of the Sixth Army, it is completely insufficient

If it weren't for the hope of Xu You and Liu Yu, even Cao Cao, he would only be helpless, sighing that he had the heart to compete for the title, but it was time for me to fight.

Of course, in terms of Yuan Shu's character, this covenant is not very stable, but Wang Yu has prepared in advance, and the freshly baked Diao'an County has undoubtedly eliminated the unstable factors to the greatest extent.

In addition to Sui'an County, Wang Yu also revised the administrative division of Xuzhou.

Due to the establishment of Sui'an County, half of the territory of the lower suburbs has been divided, so Wang Yu simply abolished the lower suburbs and merged the eastern part of the original lower suburbs with the areas north of the Huai River in Guangling County and placed them as Linhuai County. Linhuai County is still governed by Huaiyin, which has become a military buffer zone between Guangling and the East China Sea.

With this buffer zone, Guangling Haoqiang is certainly relieved, and Qingzhou also saves a lot of burden.

The Qingzhou Army was not stationed in Diao'an and Linhuai counties, and only a small number of troops were stationed in the bordering border areas, and their main duty was to guard rather than defend.

The strategic place of the lower suburbs was incorporated into the East China Sea, and Zhang Jaw divided his troops into two places, and divided the troops to garrison the lower suburbs and Pengcheng, the main force was in Pengcheng, and the lower suburbs were supplemented, and the military center of gravity shifted to the west.

Echoing the two armies of Wei County and Lu State, more than half of Qingzhou's military strength was invested in the Western Front, and the Central Plains Raider was about to come out.

Of course, the princes will not be happy to see this, but no one can come up with an effective countermeasure. In the Jianghuai area, only Yuan Shu and Yu Ce are left who have the strength to contain the Qingzhou army, the former has already breathed out with Wang Yu, and the other is pointing the spearhead at Jingzhou.

Not long after Zhou Yu swept away the powerful princes of Jiangdong, some strange remarks began to circulate, with different topics, but the core content was quite consistent.

This undoubtedly caused a certain amount of stimulation to Sun Ce, although he is currently busy settling the place, and has no intention of mobilizing troops and horses to move westward, but Jingzhou news, Liu Biao has received Yu Ce's representations.

According to Yu Ce's requirements, Liu Biao must hand over the murderer who participated in the planning and execution back then, and pull out Ma Dai filial piety for Yu Jian, and pay tribute to the heroic soul in order to get his forgiveness. If not, just wait for the real chapter to be seen on the battlefield.

This is a negotiation with Sun Ce's characteristics, and it is almost the same as the war book. Although Liu Biao is not an irritable person, after seeing the letter, he was still angry, and directly drank the order left and right, and beat the messy stick that sent the letter.

At present, the relationship between the two families is on the verge of breaking.

Liu Biao played Huang Zu as Jiangxia Taishou, the general of the expedition to the east, sent 30,000 elite soldiers to reinforce Jiangxia. The latter and Huang Chengyan are brothers of the same clan, the Huang family is the Jingxiangwang clan, and the power of the family itself is very huge, coupled with Liu Biao's full support, the strength cannot be underestimated. And it was Huang Zu who offered Liu Biao at the beginning, shot Sun Jian, and relieved the siege of Xiangyang.

Liu Biao's move undoubtedly made the toughest response.

How can Sun Ce's temper stand this? He immediately dispatched troops, with Zhou Yu as the vanguard general, with Zhu Huan and Deng Dang, two deputy generals, and 10,000 elite soldiers, stationed in Chaisang. He led the main force to Anhui City, thinking that he was stamina, and Jiangdong only left his younger brother Sun Quan, a group of Wenchen, and several veterans such as Cheng Pu to stay.

A large-scale military conflict is on the verge of breaking out.

The only one who has the ability to interfere is Yuan Shu, but this thing is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, seeing that Sun Ce is going to war with Liu Biao, it is too late for him to add fuel to the fire, where will he stop it?

In fact, long before the relationship between the two sides completely deteriorated, Yuan Shu did not jump up and down, he repeatedly talked about the battle of Xiangyang at the gathering of celebrities and scholars, one said how Sun Jian was brave and good at fighting, and how Liu Biao was despicable and shameless, conspiring and plotting, which played a considerable role in promoting public opinion.

Yuan Shu didn't just want to volunteer for Wang Yu, he was also doing it for himself.

After temporarily eliminating Qingzhou, Sun Ce, who took Jiangdong, became his confidant. After seeing Sun Ce's heroism and the lineup of Jiangdong generals who were only slightly faster than Qingzhou, Yuan Shu was also stunned in his heart

Raising tigers for trouble, this was his deepest experience at that time, but it had come to this point, and it was too late to regret it, so he could only find a way to solve this trouble. The tide of public opinion set off by Pang Tong was undoubtedly a sleepy pillow sent to him, and after a little reminder from the staff, Yuan Shu suddenly became enlightened.

On the one hand, in terms of public opinion, Yuan Shu also provided a lot of convenience to Beice

He not only acquiesced in the Jiangdong Army's occupation of Anhui City and its surroundings, but also ordered Zhang Xun, the general of the garrison to Runan, to lead his troops south to threaten Jiangxia from the north, and to a certain extent contain Jiangxia's Liu Biaojun. Obviously, he not only made up his mind to bring disaster to Shuidong, but also had the intention of taking a piece of the pie in Jiangxia.

Because of this, the threat in the Jianghuai area no longer exists for Qingzhou. As long as Sun Ce and Huang Zu are in hand, Zhan Feng will not be able to calm down in a few months.

However, Wang Yu was not able to be idle because of this, just meeting with Haoqiang who came to visit, and determining the official candidates for Diao'an and Linhuai counties, it was enough for him to be busy.

After several twists and turns, it was finally determined that Sui'an was too protective of Wang Lang, and Linhuai was too protective of Lu Kang. This is relatively easy to solve, the former lost his territory, and when he was wandering, he only had to be grateful for Wang Yu's appointment. Lu Kang's temper was a little stubborn, but under Zang Hong's persuasion, he finally nodded.

Of course, in the name of being in an unforeseen place and fearing potential safety hazards, Wang Yu abducted his son and brush by the way, saying that he was going to be sent to Taishan Academy in Gaotang to study Lu Kang's youngest son Lu Ji, who was also a famous minister of Eastern Wu that Wang Yu had an impression of, but his uncle's age was a few years younger than Lu Xun, and when he grew up, the world might have returned to peace.

That is, "this, there are talents in person, Wang Yu can't let it go gently, don't ask them to play a big role, just collect this shining name into the bag, it is very fulfilling."

What really gives Hua a headache is the swarming family

In these years, there are not many ordinary families, and there are also many dry goods that can be brought out. In the traditional concept, if they can take refuge and reach an agreed exchange of interests, they are officials. Wang Yu took out two counties, and he felt that it was already a lot, but he realized that it was far from enough when the real thing was about to happen.

"The Yangquan Pang family is obviously good at casting, this Pang Bei wants to be the superintendent, it really makes sense, even if he is not willing to go to Qingzhou to work as a supervisor, he can also be ...... today." Wang Yu frowned, wrote and drew on a list, and muttered a few times from time to time.

"Jin Cao is responsible for the production of salt and iron and coins, but in the general direction drawn up by you, Sui'an is not production-oriented, salt is distributed by the Qingzhou Commercial Division, and iron is mainly mining, and production is placed in the East China Sea, so what power does Jin Cao have at all? On the contrary, the superintendent of postal supervision in all directions, in a county dominated by circulation, there is a lot of oil and water to be fished, even if you do not covet this little profit, you can get a lot of convenience with the power in your hands. ”

Zhuge Liang performed the duties of the secretary meticulously, and put forward very targeted suggestions and tips from time to time.

"I have to say that these people are more shrewd than the other, but they don't use their minds in the right place," Wang Yu put down his pen, shook his head and sighed: "Let's talk about overseas development, what a big piece of cake, no one is tempted, Ziyi's good news is not fake, alas, it is true."

"No matter how big the interests are, it's useless to be too far away.

It's not that no one is tempted, it's just that the wisdom of the family requires them to control risks in the first place at all times. It's still in the pioneering period, and they'll just wait and see, and when it gets to a certain point, they'll flock to it. ”

As soon as Jing paused, Zhuge Liang suddenly changed his words: "Actually, my lord, you don't have to worry about meeting their requirements, these are just bargaining, and no one will care too much." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Yu was slightly stunned.

"Lord, do you really think that these families will be so excited about a petty official like Cao Oak Shi of a county?" Zhuge Liang did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Isn't it?" Wang Yu is more curious.

"Of course not, they just figured out your mind and did what he liked." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and said the trick: "They know that overseas may contain huge benefits, and they also know that those who join first can enjoy greater benefits, but for the sake of risk control, they can't bet in a hurry......... "My lord, you set up Diao'an and Linhuai two counties, which is to give them a chance to see the style, this is the concession you have made, they naturally want to return the favor, behave positively, and lay a good foundation for future follow-up, even without this bit of wisdom, how can they survive so far?" ”

"According to you, there's ...... in it." Wang Yu shook the list in his hand and asked in disbelief, "Most of the people are just acting?" ”

"The lord is wise."

"This is really ......" Wang Yu shook his head with a wry smile, feeling that everything related to the family was very unfathomable, much more difficult than competing on the battlefield, but fortunately, he was open-minded by nature, and he was not too entangled, so he threw the list away casually and ordered: "In this case, Kong Ming, the errand of placing these people will be handed over to you, and after the arrangement is made, you will show me the list." ”

"Yes." Replaced by Jia Xu, he must have a sad face, but Zhuge Liang is a workaholic, he doesn't care how much burden he puts on his body, he calmly follows this extremely tedious errand that is easy to offend people

"It's time to go home." Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Wang Yu sighed leisurely.
