In the briefing, the process of how Lu Xun exterminated Zeng Xia was understated.

This is a briefing written by Lu Xun......

However, along with the briefing, there was also a letter written by Shi Xie himself, which wrote very clearly the process of Lu Xun's extermination of Zeng Xia.

Judging from Shi Xie's letters, Lu Xun's process of exterminating Zeng Xia was by no means as simple as the briefing said.

Lu Xun spent a full year preparing for this extermination war. During this period, he spent countless money and food to win over the local indigenous fans, and at the same time let the soldiers from Liaodong adapt. Liaodong is bitterly cold, and Jiaozhou has a warm climate, if there is no process of adaptation, let alone dealing with the poisonous miasma in the mountains, I am afraid that even simple climate problems will not be able to adapt, let alone fight.

Initially, many people were dissatisfied with Lu Xun's approach, thinking that he was wasting money and food.

Among them, there are Shi Xie's two sons, who have repeatedly made suggestions to Shi Xie, saying that Lu Xun is not enough to rely on.

To be honest, Shi Xie was also very hesitant at that time.

However, Liu Yong took on the responsibility and expressed his willingness to vouch for Lu Xun.

In fact, it was this year's adaptation training that led to Lu Xun's brilliant achievements in seven battles and seven victories in Jieyang in half a year, completely eradicating Zeng Xia. At the same time, during this year, Lu Xun collected about 130,000 naturalized natives from the mountains, making Nanhai County the third county in Jiaozhou with a population of more than 400,000 in addition to Jiaozhi and Yulin counties.

You must know that the entire Jiaozhou has jurisdiction over 7 counties and 57 counties, with a total population of only 2 million.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains continued to war, and a large number of displaced people moved to Jiaozhi to settle down. And after Shi Xie took charge of Jiaozhou, he also vigorously developed. Among them, Jiaozhi has a population of 500,000 and Yulin has a population of 460,000, which is also something that Shixie took nearly 20 years to do.

Combined, these two counties account for almost half of the entire population of Jiaozhou.

Before that, Nanhai County had a population of only more than 200,000 and was in the middle of the 7 counties in Jiaozhou.

Lu Xun used one year to add more than 100,000 people to Nanhai County, which greatly improved the strength of Nanhai County.

More importantly, Lu Xun established a port in Jieyang, so that the materials from Liaodong could be continuously transported.

It can be imagined that it will not be long before Nanhai County will become the most prosperous area in the entire Jiaozhou...... For this situation, Shi Xie also felt a huge pressure. In the past, he would never have thought that Lu Xun would threaten his dominance in Jiaozhou, but now...... Shi Xie had to admit that the pressure Lu Xun brought to him was far from being comparable to Liu Yong. Liu Yong, in the final analysis, is a martial artist. But Lu Xun is indeed both civil and military. At the same time, the Lu family is also a strong force in Jiangdong, although it has declined, but this foundation is still there.

Lu Xun spent a year in Nanhai County, attracting many Jiangdong scholars to come.

Not only that, Shixie also found that the local scholars in Jiaozhou are also slowly turning the first degree.

Liu Chuang swept the north, and the princes of Fengtianzi ordered the princes to sit in Xudu, which made many Jiaozhou people feel the pressure.

Historically, because Jiaozhou is located in Lingnan, from the north to the past, it needs to pass through Jiangdong and Jingzhou, no matter how strong Cao ** is, he cannot threaten Jiaozhou.

But now, Liu Chuang can give reinforcements to Lu Xun from the sea at any time.

This also made the minds of Jiaozhou people slowly change, and they gradually had a heart for the Central Plains.

In the past, Shi Xiekou said that he was willing to belong to the imperial court, but in fact, Jiaozhou has always been a scholar outside the country. Now, Shi Xie wants to continue to be his king of Nanyue in Jiaozhou, but it is not an easy task. Shi Xie's subordinates, Huan and Huan Zhi are all capable talents, and now they are getting closer and closer to Lu Xun and Liu Yong.

In this case, Shi Xie had to sigh that his little junior brother was amazing.

The entire Nanhai County was under his control in silence, and if Shi Xie wanted to expel Liu Chuang's strength from the South China Sea, there would be a bloody battle that would affect the entire Jiaozhou. Shixie did not want to go to war, so Jiaozhou was ravaged by the flames of war; At the same time, he did not have the confidence to defeat Lu Xun, not only because Lu Xun had now gained a firm foothold in the South China Sea, but more importantly, the people of Jiaozhou did not agree to war.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.

Shi Xie couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and after discussing with his henchmen, he decided to completely surrender to Liu Chuang.

In the past, he supported Liu Chuang because of Liu Tao. To be precise, at that time, Liu Chuang and Shi Xie were more of a cooperative relationship.

But now, the relationship between him and Liu Chuang will change, from cooperation to master and slave.

In Shi Xie's letter, such a meaning is expressed.

He said frankly that he was already old, and he was afraid that he could not continue to take on heavy responsibilities, and hoped that Liu Chuang could send someone to give assistance.

To put it bluntly, it is to hand over his right to rule in Jiaozhou.

I believe that when Shi Xie wrote this letter, his heart must have been very complicated.

At least after Liu Chuang read the letter, he felt some emotion in his heart. Thinking that at the beginning, when he didn't even have a place to stay, Shi Xie did not hesitate to express his support to him. Although Shi Xie has not given Liu Chuang much help over the years, he has restrained Sun Quan and bought enough time for Liu Chuang. If Shi Xie refuses to bow his head, Liu Chuang will find it difficult to say. But now, since he has expressed his surrender, Liu Chuang has become much easier.

"Senior brother understands righteousness and is really a role model at that time."

Liu Chuang put down the letter, looked at the three people standing in front of him, Shi Hui and Shi Yi, and praised him.

These three people are all sons of Shixie.

Shixie asked them to come and deliver the letter, which also showed his attitude of submission.

Shi Xie's age is indeed too old, and it is impossible for him to withstand the fatigue of traveling. From Jiaozhou to the Central Plains, thousands of miles away, if you don't get it right, there will be problems. Plus he has been in Jiaozhou for a long time, and he doesn't want to leave. But he was afraid that Liu Chuang would be dissatisfied because of this, so he sent all three of his sons to Liu Chuang. Shi Xie showed his determination in this way, and he was willing to surrender to Liu Chuang.

"I already understand my brother's intentions.

The three of you, just stay by my side, and have a good future in the future. ”

"Before I left, my father had already told us to obey the emperor's orders."

Shi Hui in history is also an extremely proud person. Shixie was attached to Sun Quan in history, but the three Shihui brothers were very dissatisfied, so they rebelled and were eventually killed by Sun Quan. Now, they have left Jiaozhou, which is equivalent to a rootless Ping. Regardless of whether the three brothers were sincere or false, when they came to the Central Plains, they could only obey Liu Chuang's arrangement...... They are also very aware of this.

After settling the three brothers of the Shi family, Liu Chuang immediately called everyone to discuss the matter.

Now he has more and more ministers and generals under his command, so when discussing things, the pomp has become very large.

In the hall of the General's Mansion, the civil and military forces were divided into two classes, about twenty or thirty people.

Zhao Yun, Pang De, Huang Zhong, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Sheng, Gao Shun and others were listed on one side, and Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, Lu Yu and others were on the opposite side. Such a pomp and circumstance is enough to make people feel shocked.

Guo Jia had been reluctant to come to Yang Zhai before, and it was only under Xun Yu's persuasion that he came to Xudu.

Sitting in the hall, Guo Jia felt like a world away.

I think that back then, when Cao ** was in charge of the court, he was also so prosperous and full of talents.

Now, instead of decreasing, the number of people in this hall has increased a lot, but the owner of this hall has changed a person......

"Bonghyo, what do you think?"

Just when Guo Jia was outside the object, Liu Chuang's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

He came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw Liu Chuang looking at him with a smile.

There was a look of surprise on his face, he obviously didn't listen to Liu Chuang's words just now, so he didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Xu Shu would observe his words and looks, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The lord wants to start a war against Jiangdong, I'm afraid something is wrong...... Jiangdong is blocked by the Yangtze River moat, and Sun Quan guards Jiangdong for three generations, and the foundation is stable. If you start a war rashly, I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble. Shu thought that it was better to take Jingxiang first, and then seek Jiangdong. ”

It turned out that Liu Chuang was planning to start a war against Jiangdong!

Guo Jia and Xun Yu exchanged glances, and immediately understood in their hearts.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "What Yuan Zhi said is indeed the way of the old man to seek the country.

If it is a common theory, the emperor should have taken Jing Xiang first...... But now the situation is not the same. In the past, if you want to use troops against Jiangdong, seize Jingxiang, occupy the upper reaches, and then break it in one fell swoop. But now, Uncle Huang has Jiaozhou in the south to contain the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and there is a large army in the north on the north bank of the Chen Bingjiang River, and it is not impossible to cross the river and fight. The most important thing is that Uncle Huang also has a strange soldier in his hands. ”

"Odd soldiers?"

Xu Shu showed a look of surprise on his face, he couldn't figure it out, how did Guo Jia know about the 'strange soldier' that he didn't even know.

Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "The 'strange soldier' mentioned by Feng Xiao is the navy under the command of the emperor. ”

From a certain Cheng dù, Xu Shu's strategic vision is indeed not comparable to Zhuge Liang. However, as soon as Xun Yu said this, he immediately reacted and understood what Guo Jia meant.

Liu Chuang smiled slightly and stood up.

At this time, Tai Shixiang and Jiang Jian entered the hall with a few relatives and carried a heavy sand table.

"Princess, please look."

Guo Jia is no stranger to the sand table, when he was a prisoner in Yanjing, he had seen Liu Chuang and others deduce the battle situation through the sand table countless times. However, Xun Yu Xun Yu and others saw this kind of thing for the first time. The precise markings on the sand table made the old ministers of the Cao family secretly praise. But when they understood the situation of the entire sand table, they had an inexplicable sigh in their hearts.

On the sand table, Liu Chuang has already made various markers.

"This time to start a war against Jiangdong, I plan to advance in three ways!"

Liu Chuang spoke, pointed to the sand table and said: "Jiaozhou, attack from the south to the north, from Longchuan, seize Taiwan and lead the mountain and take Nanye County, Chen Bing Yuzhangshui south bank, in order to contain the soldiers and horses of Yuzhang Jiangdong." Boyan is a native of Jiangdong, and he was the main general in this battle, and he went north to Yuzhang.

To the north, I plan to make Zhang Liao the commander-in-chief, Xu Huangtai Shici as the auxiliary, and the troops will go out of Shouchun, seize Hefei, and stick to Xiaoyaojin.

The main purpose of these two lines of soldiers and horses is to contain the Jiangdong forces. And the real attack comes from the sea...... After six years of training, our navy has gradually matured. Previously, the father-in-law built a workshop in Hailing and a naval base on Tanglin Island, which happened to be the foundation of our navy. Therefore, I will order Gan Ning to be the main general, and gather the two navies of Fengchi and Li Dayin, with a total of 800 sea vessels, which can land from Qiantang Bay within three days and transport 50,000 sharp soldiers. Huiji is where Sun Quan's hometown is, and if he captures Huiji, he can directly threaten Wu Jun...... At that time, I will advance in three ways, and even if Sun Quan has a thousand means, it will be difficult to resist. ”

Navy, Navy......

It was not until this time that many people in this hall, especially the old ministers who followed Liu Chuang, understood Liu Chuang's intention to vigorously develop the navy.

With such a force of soldiers and horses, the east side of Jiangdong is as if it is undefended.

Xu Shu looked at the sand table, pondered for a moment and said, "However, if Sun Quan asks Liu Biao for help, what should he do?" ”

Xun Yu smiled and said: "With Sun Liu's grievances, you say that Liu Jingsheng will send troops to help?" ”

Xu Shu nodded, "That's the same!" ”

Liu Biao's attitude, he has generally understood.

After Liu broke into the capital of Xu, that is, in mid-June, Liu Biao sent Kuai Rou as an envoy to Xudu.

Although the two sides did not reach a clear intention, Xu Shu could see that Liu Biao was unwilling to be an enemy of Liu Chuang.

It is no wonder that Liu Chuang's momentum is amazing, and no one can stop him.

At the same time, Liu Biao is also a member of the Han family, and with such a relationship, the communication between him and Liu Chuang has become much easier. In any case, the world is still the world of the Han family, and the surname Liu is Jiangshan. Liu Biao and Liu Chuang both believed that the problems between them could be discussed. It can also be seen from this that Liu Biao's resistance to Liu Chuang is not very strong, so there is room for maneuver. (To be continued.) )
