With Guo Jia's words, Wang Xu didn't react, his eyes were level ahead, and he fell into deep thought. Guo Jia, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhi exchanged glances with each other, and they didn't dare to disturb loudly, and the hall fell into a short silence.

"Forget it, Yiqiē is still going according to the original plan." After hesitating for a long time, Wang Xu finally shook his head with a sigh. "The rise of the Sun family is unstoppable."

"This ......" Guo Jia has always been very puzzled by Wang Xu's special fear of the Sun family, and he is also a little unconvinced. He glanced at him hesitantly, and finally couldn't help asking, "Lord, is the Sun family really that terrible?" ”

At the same time, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu also looked at it, obviously they also had the same doubts.

"Yes, not an exaggeration at all." Wang Xu smiled and took a sip of the teacup, looked at the layers of white mist that came out, and said indifferently but affirmatively: "If we have enough strength now, we can kill it." But now that Jingzhou has been decided, all kinds of waste are waiting for the new, and the years of war have overwhelmed the people, the soldiers are tired, and the losses are great, do we have that kind of background? As for whether my decision today is right or not, you will know in the future, and you must not underestimate Jiangdong Yingjie. ”

After speaking, Wang Xu didn't want to explain anything more, so he slowly got up and walked towards the door. "Okay, let's disperse, it's useless to think about it now, just go according to the original plan. You should also take advantage of these days to relax, it is not good to be too tired. ”

Guo Jia and the three of them stared at Wang Xu's distant back, and without saying more, they slowly got up and walked out of the study.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! In the Xiangyang military camp field, the current crowd is boiling, the soldiers are sweating like rain, rehearsing the military formation under the leadership of their respective generals, although the weather in the early spring is still cold, but every soldier is steaming hot on his head.

"Chief, how are you feeling during this time?" Walking slowly to the edge of the school field, Wang Xu looked at the well-trained soldiers with relief.

"Thank you for your concern, and I'll be well." Wei Yan, who was closely following by his side, hurriedly stepped forward and responded.

"Hmm!" He smiled and nodded. Only then did Wang Xu turn his gaze. Stretched out his hand to pat Wei Yan's strong shoulder, and said gently: "Wen Chang, get along with me on weekdays, you don't have to be restrained, you can tell me if you have any ideas." ”

"The last general understands!" Feeling Wang Xu's concern, Wei Yan was also a little moved.

Knowing that Wei Yan understood what he meant, Wang Xu didn't say anything more. He smiled and set his eyes on the school field anew. After inspecting the entire military camp, he said goodbye to Wei Yan and slowly walked back to the General's Mansion with Dian Wei.

After walking quietly on the wide avenue for a long time, Wang Xu suddenly shouted: "Dian Wei! ”

"My lord, what do you command?" Hearing the call, Dian Wei, who was standing solemnly on his side, immediately urged his horse forward.

"Nothing lately. Do you feel particularly idle? ”

"One thing, but it's the duty of the last general to protect the lord." Dian Wei replied.

"Huh! Then I'll give you a task. Wang Xu said with a smile.

"My lord commands!"

Looking at Dian Wei, who was slightly puzzled, Wang Xu no longer detoured, and said directly: "You don't have to follow me from tomorrow, I want you to form a guard." How many people...... Just 10,000! It is necessary to have all the cavalry, and select loyal and warlike soldiers from the army. The original 500 guards were changed to personal guards, and they were still with me. ”

This sudden command instantly stunned Dian Wei. Wait for a reaction. His face suddenly showed joy: "The lord asked me to lead the troops?" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded affirmatively. "You've fought a lot of battles, and you've learned a lot on weekdays. It's time to lead the troops. ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Dian Wei was overjoyed and immediately laughed. It's just that he didn't be happy for long, and he seemed to suddenly remember something, and exclaimed: "But in this way, who protects the Lord in danger on weekdays?" ”

After speaking, he shook his head again and again, although he was a little reluctant, he still said resolutely: "It's not appropriate, the lord should arrange someone else!" ”

"I said let you go, you go, where there are so many words, this is an order." Glancing at Dian Wei boringly, knowing that he was the kind of tendon, Wang Xu immediately prevaricated casually: "As for the guard work of the General's Mansion, I want to re-form a team of people, all composed of capable people, let the thief Cao Peng Liu Yi and the spy shadow check for me, you can retire." ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Dian Wei was still hesitant, Wang Xu didn't bother to say more, and urged the horse to leave. In fact, he has long had the idea of letting Dian Wei lead the troops, and after so many years of friendship, he can be said to know the roots. Although the Dian Wei people are honest and slow to react to their thinking, they are not stupid, and they also have keen intuition on the battlefield. Moreover, the efforts over the years are also obvious to all, if he is allowed to be a senior bodyguard for the rest of his life, it is really humiliating to talent.

On the contrary, it was the prevarication that he said casually just now, which made Wang Xu a little moved at this time. The issue of the guards of the General's Mansion had also been discussed with Liu Yi and Ling Wanqing before, but they had been busy with various things and had not been able to act. Now that I'm free, I really have that opportunity.

Thinking of it is Wang Xu's consistent character, as soon as he returned to the general's mansion, he immediately found Liu Yi and Shan Huai to discuss, and all three of them were strongly supportive. Liu Yi said solemnly: "Lord, in fact, my subordinates have wanted to talk about this matter for a long time. Like this kind of guard work on weekdays, no matter how elite the soldiers are, they can't compare to the heroes in the world. Their precautions against various means are already in their bones, and they have different special talents, which is really the most appropriate. ”

"Liu Thief Cao said this very much." Shan Huai also agreed: "Maybe when they go into battle to kill the enemy, they are not as good as well-trained soldiers, but they definitely have an overwhelming advantage in other aspects." ”

Seeing that several people were so enthusiastic, Wang Xu of course also pushed the boat along the water, and said with a smile: "Okay, from tomorrow onwards, you will recruit talents in this area for me, and it doesn't hurt to be more generous, do your best to do this well." Their names, I think...... How about calling it blood protection? ”

"No!"

With the voice of the promise, Wang Xu was about to let a few people retreat, but the experienced Liu Yi was the first to speak: "Lord, my subordinates want to add a little." Although the blood guard can assume the responsibility of a qiē guard, the general's mansion is a symbol after all, and there should still be soldiers on duty on weekdays. ”

"Huh! It's my negligence, but Wu Zhuo is thoughtful. Well, in the future, my five hundred guards will also take turns on duty. ”

As this matter was hastily decided, several people also enthusiastically devoted themselves to the formation of the blood protection. It's just that none of them, including Wang Xu, know what it means to be formed at this time. I didn't expect that in the distant future, they would become a group. Although it seldom appears in the eyes of the world. But every time it appears. It will be thrilling and will continue until the end of the dynasty. Because it has always been feared by people all over the world, it is called the "Dragon Protector Family".

The days passed day by day, with the joint efforts of many famous ministers and generals, Jingzhou completely came out of the war, and Jingzhou itself has a rich heritage and a fertile field. Compared with most of China, which is full of fire, it has become a rare pure land and a thriving atmosphere.

This also attracted hundreds of people to pour in, among which of course there are many talents and strange people from all over the world. And for these elites from all walks of life. Wang Xu even ordered the entire Jingzhou military group to spare no effort to recruit and make every effort to reserve talents. To this end, it also specially set up two new departments of Xuecao and Jicao, invited Cai Yong out of the mountain to learn Cao Peng, and took Qi Wuhong, Song Zhong and many other Jingzhou Confucians to build schools, sort out ancient books, educate the world, and promote cultural development.

Such acts. It also made Wang Xu famous among the literati. They all talk about their virtues. Even the former Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan, who had been ordered by the general He Jin and was an enemy of Wang Xu, was also moved. After Wang Xu was invited by letter several times, he was no longer at home and served as Cao Cao Peng, the general's office, in charge of sewer traffic.

In the blink of an eye, a year and a half has passed, and now it is July 194 AD. Today's Jingzhou is no different from the beginning, with a prosperous economy and rapid development. It's a pity that the damage caused by years of war is too great after all, and in just one and a half years, it is still less, and it can't reach the sky in one step, only barely comparable to the time before the Yellow Turban Uprising, when the eunuchs were in chaos. But even so, in this smoky land of China, it can be regarded as an outlier.

During this period of Jingzhou's vigorous recovery, the competition between the heroes became even more cruel. After Cao Cao drove Yuan Shu to Huainan and captured the entire territory of Yanzhou south of the Yellow River and most of Yuzhou, his power skyrocketed. Coupled with the strong foundation of the Central Plains region in the north far exceeding that of the south, it has become one of the largest forces in the world, second only to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in Hebei.

Last autumn, his father, who was hiding in Langxie, wanted to migrate to Yanzhou. Cao Cao sent Taishan County Taishou Yingshao to meet him, but when his father passed through Xuzhou, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian was afraid of Cao Cao and wanted to make friends, so he sent local officials to escort him, but he used people improperly, and even let the Yellow Turban thief who surrendered that year go. Seeing the wealth of Cao Song's more than 100 carts, he couldn't stop his greed, so he gathered people to kill Cao Song and Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De, seized his wealth and went into the mountains again to become a thief. Poor Cao Song was unwilling to scatter all his family wealth to help Cao Cao get up, but now he died of keeping his money. Taishan Taishou Ying Shao was also worried that Cao Cao would kill him because of the unfavorable response, so he immediately abandoned the official and fled to Yuan Shao, Hebei.

After this incident, Cao Cao was furious. Although he complained about his father's refusal to help back then, it was a family matter after all, and Cao Song also thought about the whole family. Now that his family has been killed, of course, he is full of hatred, not to mention that he has already intended to encroach on Xuzhou, so he immediately sent troops to Xuzhou, fought successively, and conquered more than ten counties. Fortunately, Tao Qian is also a hero, and his governance in Xuzhou for so many years is also very powerful, coupled with the strong support of the people and scholars of Xuzhou, he finally carried the past, and Cao Cao was forced to withdraw his troops because of the dispersion of soldiers and food.

At the same time, after the death of Liu Yu in the north, Gongsun Zhan's power swelled again, and the competition with Yuan Shao also entered a white-hot stage. It's a pity that today's Yuan Shao is far from being comparable to the original, the two sides fought each other, Gongsun Chan was always at a disadvantage, and even the sphere of influence was cut off by Yuan Shao, and he was completely driven out of Jizhou and cowered in Youzhou. The battle ground between the two parties also shifted from Jizhou to Youzhou, and Gongsun Chan fell into passivity. And Tian Kai, the Qingzhou assassin Shi Tian Kai, who was appointed by him, was completely separated from Gongsun Zhan, so he couldn't help much, and he and Yuan Shao's sons fought with each other, winning and losing each other.

However, these current situations are all expected by Wang Xu, so it is not too surprising. What really worries him is the shape of Luoyang, Chang'an and Jiangdong...... (To be continued.) )

PS: Before, the survival and relationship problems were in a desperate situation, so I broke off for a while, and I really don't want to say too much about this, and I don't like to find reasons. In short, it is still reluctant, in order to fulfill the promise, so it is restored fù update! Thank you very much for your continued help, support and encouragement......
