Since ancient times, the battles have been a few sorrowful, and the heroes have shed tears! How many loyal souls are buried in the ground, a few storms and a few springs and autumns!

When the army withdrew from Chaisang, many people in the army silently wiped their tears, because many of their comrades-in-arms and their friends were buried in that land, and that feeling was really difficult to express in words, especially the soldiers in Yuzhang, whose hometown was in Yuzhang, and it was even more painful.

Yuzhang too shou Lai Gong has been sitting in Yuzhang for many years, and his feelings are very deep, this is his hard work for many years, at this time he was forced to give up to others, how can he be relieved, and when he left, he cried bitterly, almost soft to the ground, or Wang Xu personally helped him, while comforting, while moving forward slowly.

Xu Huang, Yan Yan, and Han Meng thought that Yuzhang was lost, they had a lot of responsibility, and they felt guilty, so they personally asked for their lives to suppress the queen.

Wang Xu knew that it was not their responsibility to lose this battle, but they couldn't resist the persistence of the three of them, thinking that there should be no danger after this pressure, and finally agreed to let them stay. It was not until tens of thousands of soldiers, officials, and various supplies were safely evacuated that they finally left.

At the same time, what is even more shocking is that many people in Yuzhang spontaneously withdrew, and they moved in groups, dragging their children and mothers, and migrating endlessly.

Jiangdong did not stop it, and let these people who wanted to leave free, just because Lu Su admonished that the hearts of these people had completely left, and if they stopped themselves, it would not only further provoke Wang Xu, but also be detrimental to future governance, and if the two armies fought again in the future, these people were more likely to become a hidden danger.

As a result, almost half of the people in the counties of Yuzhang County began to migrate, which not only moved Wang Xu, but also made him feel heartache.

There was hardly any hesitation. And he sent a decree to the general's house. It is necessary to come forward in person to make proper placements. Even if any family does not arrange it, it must be severely punished!

Compared with these miscellaneous tasks, the movement of troops is much faster.

In order to prevent Cao Cao's abnormal movements, Gao Shun and Zhang He led more than 10,000 soldiers of the Eastern Army to march day and night and rushed back to Nanyang.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xu took the guards and the soldiers of the Western Legion, and also retreated to Xiangyang at a very fast marching speed.

Only the remaining men and horses of the Southern Army remained in Jingnan as the basic garrison. Beware of Koto!

As for the defensive deployment of troops, it is still up to Xu Huang, Yan Yan, and Han Meng to decide.

Song Qian, Jia Hua, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun led the naval army to enter the Xiapheasant River and build a new Shuiying port to guard against the Jiangdong naval army!

On the other side, Sun Jian was not slow, leaving Huang Gai, Chen Wu, Zhou Tai and others to guard Yuzhang, and Cheng Pu and Jiang Qin commanded the naval army, and quickly withdrew.

Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and other generals hurried back to Huainan to strengthen Huainan's defenses, and the rest followed him back to the army to build a business.

Since then, the fighting in the south has subsided. Wang Xu quickly put down the matter of Yuzhang and devoted his efforts to the restoration of Jingzhou and the northern war situation.

I have to say. Guo Jia's death was timely.

As soon as he returned to Xiangyang, he received a secret report from Shan Huai.

Cao Jun Xiahoudun and Le Jin commanded 60,000 elite soldiers, with Cheng Yu and Xun You as strategists, and the soldiers were divided into two routes to march south, and the speed was very fast, but as soon as they arrived in Yingyin, they heard that Jiangdong and Jingyi Erzhou had died down and reached a new alliance agreement, and knew that nothing could be done, so they stopped marching.

This made Wang Xu scared out of a cold sweat, if he really fought with Jiangdong, within half a month, Nanyang would be broken. Cao Jun traveled unhindered all the way, and it didn't take long to reach Xiangyang......

When he arrived at the military camp outside Xiangyang City, it was already late at night, Wang Xu did not go back to the general's mansion, but rested in the barracks, but only issued a notice to let the cultural relics gather at the general's mansion early the next morning.

But in fact, he didn't sleep all night, lit candles in the military tent, and buried himself in writing.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xu Sheng entered the tent to call him, only to find that the candlelight was still on, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "Lord, you haven't slept all night?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Xu raised his head, saw that it was Xu Sheng, and said with a smile: "Oh! In preparation for today's meeting, a few things have been drafted. ”

"Lord, such hard work is not good for your health!" Xu Sheng said with concern.

"It's okay, I'm still young, I can hold on!" Wang Xu smiled disappreciatively and changed the topic: "What? Is it already hourly? ”

"Yes! Now at three o'clock, the last general has asked Dian Wei and Yan Liang to go to the general's mansion first, and the last will call the lord! ”

"Okay! Let's go, go to the General's Mansion! ”

Wang Xu put down the brush in his hand, quickly wrapped the written copy, picked it up and left.

Xu Sheng shook his head helplessly and kept up.

When the two arrived at the conference hall of the General's Mansion, all the ministers had already arrived, and Wang Xu strode forward and sat on his own throne in the midst of everyone's salute.

His gaze swept over, and he didn't say much, putting the copy he had written last night on the table and spreading it out. "Ladies and gentlemen, we will only discuss three things today."

"First, I want to divide Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Feng Yi, Right Fufeng, and Hongnong County into a separate state, named Yongzhou, what do you think!"

As soon as the words fell, the hall was silent, the needle drop could be heard, and the civil and military were shocked.

After a while, Fa Cao Peng Xiang Lang took the lead in getting up and arched his hand and said, "Lord Qi, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter!" ”

"Why?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.

"The lord, it is feasible to divide the county land, but the division of the states in the world is a major matter of the country. Xiang Lang replied.

"That's right!" Du Cao Peng Yi nodded in agreement, got up and played: "Lord, according to the subordinates, it is not appropriate to divide it like this now. ”

"Why not?"

Guo Jia suddenly interrupted, got up and said: "The name of Si Li is all because my Han Dynasty used to have the capital located, in order to distinguish it from the states of the world and highlight the respect, so it got the name of Si Li. But now that the capital has long been moved eastward to Yanzhou, it is already an ordinary state and county, and the name of Si Li is not appropriate! ”

"I agree with the words of filial piety!" Fu Zhi answered at the right time: "It is a good policy to change its name to Yongzhou, if it is reported to the imperial court, it will definitely be accepted!" ”

Yi Ji and Xiang Lang glanced at each other, didn't say anything more, and sat back in their seats.

Everyone understands that the so-called imperial court recognition, that is, Cao Cao's approval, the little emperor is under Cao Cao's control, and his opinion is no longer very important. It's just a symbol of power.

Think about it for a moment. knew that Cao Cao would inevitably agree. He was even quite happy, because his move to the capital had already been questioned, and if such a proposal was proposed by an important minister like Wang Xu, after approval, it would make him more justifiable, at least no one would question the matter of moving the capital from now on, and it would also be beneficial to him.

Of course, Wang Xu thought about this, and after seeing Guo Jia and Fu Zhi speak. Everyone was silent, and then took over with a smile: "Since everyone has no objection, then the matter will be decided, and the next day I will personally play the role of His Majesty, and try to persuade him to approve this matter, and get a good name." In the future, the land of the three counties of Feng Yi on the left, Fufeng on the right, and Jingzhao Yin will also be changed to Fengyi County, Fufeng County, and Jingzhao County for easy calling. ”

"And this land of Yongzhou also needs to be governed by people, according to my will. In the future, the law will be used as the history of Yongzhou and Chang'an. ”

"Lai Gong was transferred to Jingzhao Taishou. Chang'an. ”

"Zhang is too guarded to help the wind, and he governs Huaili."

"Yang Hong is too guarded by Feng Yi and governs Gaoling."

"Xi Zhen is too guarded by Hongnong, and he governs Hongnong. Do you have any objections? ”

"Xi Zhen?"

Everyone looked at each other, there was no surprise at the appointment of Fa Zheng, Lai Gong, Yang Hong and others, their talents were all there, even Zhang Ji, although he was a minister, but when he was under Zhong Xuan, he had the first political performance in the three auxiliaries, and he had a military strategy, was good at planning, and was a usable talent.

But Xi Zhen is a member of the Xi family in Xiangyang, although he has been serving as an official, but he is not very conspicuous, so everyone is a little puzzled.

Ci Cao Peng Liu Xiang quickly got up and played: "Lord, although Xi Zhen is quite familiar with government affairs, has served in the General's Mansion for many years, and has rich experience in various matters, but he has never shown enough martial arts, compared with his brother Xi Zhen, it is quite inferior, Hongnong is a border land, let him serve, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" ”

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu didn't have time to speak, but he was the first to laugh: "Liu Gong's words are different, this Xi Zhen is not only proficient in martial arts, but also far above his brother, in recent years, he has put forward hundreds of military and political proposals, and most of them have been adopted, but he doesn't like to compete for merit and show off, so he is not known to everyone, and even his martial arts are quite extraordinary." ”

Liu Xiang was a general of the Han Dynasty in his early years, and his reputation was quite high, so he was very respected by everyone, and he was called Liu Gong.

"The public is not bad with what he says!" Wang Xu took over with a smile: "Xi Zhen has played to me several times, and he is quite insightful, and this person is worthy of a heavy responsibility." Moreover, Hongnong Taishou will no longer be in charge of the main force in the future, and the defense will be taken care of by the major legions, he is only in charge of internal affairs and county government soldiers, and assists the legions stationed in Hongnong. ”

"I see, but my subordinates misunderstood Xi Zhen!" Liu Xiang believed in the frustrated gaze very much, and understood Wang Xu's words, so he sat back in his position at the moment.

Wang Xu smiled, didn't say anything more about it, and then said: "In addition, Wei Yan has resigned from the post of Hanzhong Taishou and is a full-time commander of the army to resist foreign enemies, so there is no one in charge of Hanzhong and Wudu County, and in the future, Yang Fu will be the Taishou of Wudu and Wang Mou will be the Taishou of Hanzhong!" Nanyang Gaoshun also resigned from the post of Taishou, full-time commander of the Oriental Army, guarding the state and county, the former Yuzhang County Cheng Yanpu, outstanding meritorious service, through good strategy, take over Nanyang Taishou! ”

The voice fell, and the hall fell silent, and no one spoke.

Although there has not been much change in this transfer, the civil and military generals in the hall all understand that in the future, the government and the army will be completely separated, and the generals will not care about political affairs, and they will not care about the army, but over the years, they have slowly become accustomed to this system, and they have not spoken out to refute it.

Wang Xu sat quietly for a while, and waited for everyone to ponder the appointment just now before speaking again: "Ladies and gentlemen, the second thing I want to say today is to replenish the soldiers. In the future, the existing six legions must be supplemented as much as possible, and all counties and counties in Jing, Yi, and Yongzhou will fully recruit soldiers, and the others will cooperate unconditionally! The vacant position of Wei Cao Peng is temporarily replaced by Huang Quan, who has been admired by the public recently, and this matter must be completed well. ”

"How is Zhang Song appointed?" Frustration interjected. "This person's talent is extraordinary, and he will never forget it, and he was temporarily acting for Wei Cao Peng's affairs, and he was quite respected by Wei Cao's officials!"

"Then officially reappointed as Cang Cao Peng, how about it?" Wang Xu said with a smile.

"No!" Guo Jia shook his head, got up and said: "My subordinates think that it is more appropriate for Zhang Song to be transferred to Hu Cao Peng, and the position of Cang Cao Peng should be held by Wang Cang!" ”

"My brother is in charge of Cangcao?" Wang Xu was stunned.

"Yes, although Zhang Song is outstanding, his mind is not as delicate as Wang Cang, nor is he as steady, and he is better in charge of Hu Cao!" Guo Jia said with certainty.

Of course, Wang Xu would not believe Guo Jia's words in public, but since he mentioned it like this, he must have his considerations, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed: "Then according to the words of the military advisor!" ”

As he spoke, he put away the smile on his face, his eyes swept over everyone, and his tone gradually turned cold: "As for the third thing I want to talk about today, it is to picket the officials of the traitor section under the rule, and the thief Cao Peng Liu Yi is fully responsible, with the assistance of the spy department, starting from the civil strife in Jingzhou at the beginning, to carry out a comprehensive investigation!"
