Chapter 27: Thinking and Laboring

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Shixun deeply understands that no matter what the situation, empty words cannot bluff people, and if you want to convince the other party, you must have enough strength. This strength can be martial arts, but whether it is strong or not, you have to fight to know; It can be wisdom, but it is not deep, and it has to be understood after fighting. There is only one kind of strength that does not require any competition process, and it can be seen at a glance, and that is - position.

So he deliberately did not wear armor, still dressed in official uniforms, and crossed his horse to inspect the Jiangling soldiers of Huang Zhong's department. With a crown on his head and a seal on his waist, it's hard to say whether he can bluff those uninformed soldiers, but it will definitely bring considerable psychological pressure to Huang Zhong - this kind of thing is much easier to use than any "king's spirit". He suddenly talked to Huang Zhong, and suddenly talked to Xiao Bing, perfectly controlling the rhythm of bluffing, and finally relied on that three-inch incorruptible tongue to drive the Jiangling soldiers out of Xiaoling City.

It's not necessarily that Xun himself is strong, but that the opponent is too weak. Most of the soldiers in these years have no culture, and the generals like to call such soldiers, because it is easy to manage and incite, but the result is that the soldiers have no beliefs and ideas, you can instigate, others can also instigate, the wind from the east will fall to the east, and the wind from the west will fall to the west......

Huang Zhong is not stupid, he understands that he really can't stay in Xiaoling City, because the army's morale is in chaos, just look at the hundreds of parts of the heroic entanglement and high-spirited behind him, and if he starts a war at this time, it will definitely be defeated. No matter how strong his personal martial arts are, what can he do with leading a group of pawns who may collapse at any time? It's just that it's too late to regret it at this time......

He could have risen up and slashed Shixun under his horse. But what's the use of that? As Shi Xun said, since Liu Biao has not officially turned his face with the imperial court. Killing a court official without permission is a capital crime, Liu Biao not only will not protect him, but may even involve Liu Pan because of him. I think that Ma Riyan and others held the festival in Kanto at the beginning, and later Zhao Qi was sent to Jingxiang, and the princes from all walks of life listened to the disobedient others, but on the surface, who was not respectful? Only rude military leaders like Li Dao and Guo Yan from very low backgrounds dare to kidnap or even kill the minister, Liu Biaoke still has a face.

Shi Xun led Huang Zhong and his troops out of the north gate of Xiaoling. Then he nodded at Huang Zhong: "You can cross the oil and water immediately, don't make mistakes." With that, he turned his horse's head and returned to the city. Qin Yijian, let's close the city gate quickly. Yes Xun said no-"The closure of the city at this time is to show that he is weak." I will stand at the gate of the city, and see who dares to enter the city?! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Huang Zhong also flick his horse's head. Back and forth. It was Xun who was taken aback, and said in his heart that this guy is not dead, is he going to ride alone to capture me? But before he spoke, it was not good to break his word in front of the doorman and gain weight, so he had to hold on hard, and continue to stay with the city gate and not move immediately.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong didn't mean to come over to capture him or kill him. The horses were three feet apart. Huang Hansheng immediately said: "Please also ask Shi Zhongshu to give an order, order Zhong to move to the north of oil and water, and explain to General Liu." ”

Shi Xun nodded slightly, yes, Huang Hansheng is not a brave man. Since Huang Zhong has this attitude. Then he didn't have anything to fear, and immediately whipped his horse: "That's it." Hansheng will go back to the county office with a certain for the time being. ”

So he led Huang Zhong back to the county office - more than 300 parts and Guo Huai They also followed closely, Shi Xun was not afraid of Huang Zhong any more demon moths - dismounted and entered the hall, sat down after the case, ordered Pan Jun to take pen and ink, his own guest took out the hemp paper in his own pocket, wrote an edict, and then took off the purple ribbon gold seal from his waist to cover it. Then he ordered to take a copy of "Asking Yuan Shaoyu" from his bag—he carried several copies with him, and he could find an opportunity to scatter at any time—stood up and handed it to Huang Zhong together.

Huang Zhong was respectful and took it with both hands. Unexpectedly, Shi Xun suddenly grabbed his wrist and said earnestly: "Han Sheng is the pillar of Jingzhou, and I hope to be able to assist Liu Jingsheng as a security place for the imperial court, so as to live up to Qing's high talent and high hopes." ”

He and Huang Zhong have been "you" and "you" just now, and he put up the shelf of Shangguan, unceremoniously, not only did he call him at this time, but also changed the word "Qing" to refer to him, so affectionate, as if the two were friends. Huang Zhong was a little flattered, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and quickly pulled out his hand, took half a step back, and took a deep look: "Don't dare, Zhong said goodbye today." ”

Huang Zhong finally left, and all the guests let out a long breath, and Qin Yi and Dong Meng immediately poured out words, praising the ability of Xun's tongue. Guo Huai asked: "The lord seems to attach great importance to this general." Shi Xun nodded: "Although Huang Han's promotion is not very high, he is a Jingzhou general, and he is brave. In the original history, these two also met later, confronting each other in Yangping Guannan, Guo Huai was Xiahou Yuan's Sima, and Huang Zhong killed Xiahou Yuan in battle.

The dust settled, the doormen were all down-to-earth, and Shi Xun finally put his mind at ease, but he felt that his body was cold, and there were some leaders who were sensitive, so he hurriedly ordered someone to call Xu Ke to come over to diagnose the pulse. Xu Ke pressed Shixun's inch for a while, opened his mouth again, looked at the tongue coating and throat, and then frowned: "The body in the service has just recovered, and he refuses to lie down and recuperate, but he has come to Xiaoling since Linyuan, and he feels the wind and cold, and he is terrified and ......frightened" Suddenly raised his head, saw that Shixun's eyes were a little uncertain, and quickly changed his words: "In addition, I am worried and tired, so I have been repeated." ”

It's Xun Xin who said okay, this kid changed his words very quickly, not Hua Tuo's kind of goods who can cure diseases but lack emotional intelligence. So he retracted his fierce gaze and let him administer needles and medicines. Xu Ke persuaded you not to be tired anymore, just rest here with Xiaoling for a few more days, it's Xun Ken - anyway, he has to wait for Zhang Xian's Changsha soldiers to come.

The waiting time was not long, and three days later, the 3,000 Changsha soldiers led by Yuan Long entered Xiaoling. Zhang Xian did not personally lead the troops to come, he had to prevent Huang Zu from attacking Changsha from the northern front, but asked Yuan Long to inform Shixun that he had already greeted the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang, and they would also send one or two thousand soldiers and horses north to reinforce - because the distance was too far, it was impossible to send more soldiers and horses, at most, it was to send some grain and grass to Changsha in case of war.

Changsha is a large county in Jingnan, with more than 200,000 household registrations, and with the grain and straw subsidies of Lingling and Guiyang, if Zhang Xian engages in general mobilization, he can still pull out 20,000 or 30,000 horses - of course, the quality cannot be very good, but Liu Biao's soldiers and horses themselves may not be how strong, like Huang Zhong's department, how many can there be?

Now that Yuan Long has arrived, and Shi Xun's health has basically recovered again, he doesn't want to stay in Xiaoling for a long time—whether you are confronting each other about this, or starting a serious fight, I can't control it, and I don't want to get involved at all—I stayed for another two days, and then led the disciples and tribes, and set off for Changsha. Before leaving, he also took Pan Jun's hand and said: "Chengming is a great talent, and he should not be condescended to a small county, and when he returns to the capital, he will recommend it to the imperial court." Pan Jun was moved to tears, and bowed his head.

In fact, Xun just said casually, it is just a matter of benefiting and not costing, although there are not too many talents, but whether it is him or Cao Cao, there is really no shortage of Pan Jun's grade.

From Xiaoling to the south, it is into the Lishui, into the Yangtze River, into the Dongting, and then along the Xiangshui to Linxiang - at this time it has entered February. The soldiers in Linxiang City come and go, and there is indeed a big move. Zhang Xian led Huan and others to greet Shixun, and at the same time introduced two newcomers to him-

"This is Liu Zichu, the master of Lingling; This is Guiyang Governor Post Shi Boyang. ”

Liu Zichu was named Ba, a famous man in Jingnan, Liu Biao did not obey, and then went north to Cao, and was ordered to calm the three counties, but unexpectedly Liu Bei got it first, Liu Ba was far away, and then entered Yizhou, and then ...... still let Liu Bei be caught, but he had no choice but to obey orders, and he has always been in Shu Han to achieve the prominent position of Shang Shuling. So it was Xun who took a high look at this person, although it was not good to dig the corner of Lingling at this time, he would also be familiar with his face first, so that he could see him again in the future.

Shi Boyang Minghe, this person is Xun has no impression - according to the history books, Shi He later became the Taishou of Nanjun under Liu Bei, and surrendered to Cao Wei with Huang Quan in the Battle of Yiling, and was named a marquis, just such a little deed, he must be able to remember that there is a ghost.

Shi Xun asked Zhang Xian about the shape of the north, and Zhang Xian said that after he mobilized the army, he continued to drive to Yiyang, which was not only convenient for reinforcing Xiaoling, but also north to Luo County, but in order to avoid irritating Huang Zu, he did not increase troops to Luo County first, so Huang Zu has not made any moves at present. In fact, strictly speaking, Jiangxia Huangzu is to Liu Biao, just like Zang Bazhi is to Cao Cao, and he has a very strict semi-independent tendency - so later Huang's grandfather and son were killed by Jiangdong, and Liu Biao wanted to quickly send his son Liu Qi to Jiangxia to seize power - he might not take the initiative to help Liu Biao bite people.

It was Xun Xin who said that this would be fine, as long as the main battlefield was not on the eastern front, then the pressure on Nanjun would be great, and Liu Biao would definitely have to transfer troops back from the north to defend it, and Zhang Xiu would be safe - without Wen Ping's response, Liu Bei might not be able to conquer Wancheng. Of the eight counties in Jingzhou, Nanyang was originally the most prosperous, followed by Changsha, and the third Lingling, and Nanjun was only more than 100,000 households; Although in recent years, the Central Plains scholars have moved south, and the number of people who have entered Nanjun is extremely numerous, but it cannot reach 200,000 households, and it is still quite difficult for Liu Biao to rely on Nanjun alone to block Zhang Xian.

This is also the main reason why Zhang Xian was in the rear in the original history, and Liu Biao did not dare to intervene in the Central Plains to fight for hegemony.

Shixun rested in Linxiang City for another three days, and then said goodbye to Zhang Xian, Huanjie and others, took his concubine Gan, and returned north by boat. After passing Shaxian, he did not abandon the boat and go to Xiling to greet Huang Zu, but continued to go down the river to the east, leaving Jingzhou and entering the Yangzhou territory.

After the Yangtze River flowed into Yangzhou, it became the county boundary of many counties, first Lujiang and Yuzhang. At this time, Lujiang was controlled by Cao Cao and guarded by Tai Shici, and most of Yuzhang County fell into the hands of Sun Ce. Shi Xun planned to get off the boat in Xunyang County on the Lujiang River, first turn around to Shu County, and meet his old friend Taishi Ziyi, who thought that the boat would dock, and suddenly a sergeant pointed from afar: "There is a big boat coming!" ”

Shi Xun raised his eyes and looked at it, only to see a sail shadow between the water and the sky, not to mention there were twenty or thirty, and they were all bigger than his own boat. He couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and hurriedly asked left and right: "Is it possible to see the flag clearly?" There was a sharp-eyed reply: "It's a Zhou word." ”

Ah, could it be Zhou Yu from Chaisang?! Shi Xun hurriedly ordered: "Go ashore and meet each other in formation!" ”
