All the way north, Tian Fan kept thinking about the two of them.

First, Lu Xun! Tian Fan saw it once and said a few words. Lu Xun's ancestor Lu Kang, who was the Taishou of Lujiang back then, was dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's rule, and Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to attack Lujiang County. After that, Lu Jiang broke Lu Kang and died, and with him, half of the Lu family's clansmen died. Fortunately, before the city was broken, Lu Kang sent people to send Sun Luxun and his youngest son Lu Ji out of the city, and they survived.

Lu Kang's son Lu Ji was young, he was only eight years old at the time, which was not enough to support the huge Lu family. Therefore, Lu Xun, who was only twelve years old at the time, had to support the foundation of the Lu family. Lu Xun is indeed not an ordinary person, the Lu family did not decline as quickly as outsiders imagined, but survived strongly. Although he is only fifteen years old this year, he is the head of the Lu family, Gu Lu, Zhu Zhangzhong, the four major families of Wu County. As the head of such a large family, it was impossible for him to go to Xuzhou in order to pursue his future.

Lu Kang died because of Sun Ce, but in the eyes of the children of these families, the life and death of the individual is obviously more important than the survival of the family. In addition, in the year of war and chaos, life and death are unpredictable. Therefore, Lu Xun did not have much resentment towards the Sun family. In history, Lu Xun and Lu Ji successively appeared in Soochow, which can be seen.

Because of these reasons, Tian Fan didn't think about wooing Lu Xun.

Moreover, he is only fifteen years old now, he is still too young and needs to be honed, Tian Fan does not want to help the seedlings. Just like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who are young in their studies, they are seventeen and nineteen years old respectively, and they still have a long way to go and still have a lot to learn.

Second, Sun Quan! Listening to Tai Shici, the emergence of several outstanding figures in the Jiangdong clan such as Gu Yong and Yu Tuo, as well as the support of several major families in Jiangdong, are the result of Sun Quan's persuasion. As a result, Tian Fan completely recognized Sun Quan's power. Now Tian Fan has completely lost confidence in the strategy of weakening Jiangdong by economic means. He only hoped that through business dealings, there would be some contradictions between the clans within Jiangdong and a little bit of Sun Ce's energy. Because he found that no one is stupid!

Because of this, Tian Fan did not regret saving Sun Ce's life. Sun Ce is a typical martial artist, although he is very smart, but his way of thinking, many times, will be very simple, just a martial artist's way of thinking, moreover, he has an impulsive personality and likes to be happy and revenge. He is the lord of Jiangdong, and compared to Sun Quan, he is less of a threat to Xuzhou. After Jiangdong's internal stability is stabilized, Sun Ce will definitely attack Jingzhou, and he will not die, Liu Biao will not die, and Sun Ce will definitely not give up.

There was no word all the way, and three days later, everyone arrived at Jingkou. With Tai Shici exchanging cherishes, Tian Fan stepped on the building boat home.

On the same day, when he arrived in Guangling, he heard a very surprising news in Guangling - a locust plague occurred in Huainan! So, he did not stop in Guangling, but hurried all the way, and arrived at Xiapi on the third day.

At that time, it was already in the afternoon, Tian Fan asked Tang Yi and other personal soldiers to escort Xiao Qiao back to the manor, and he took Shi A, Old Man Tang, Tang Xian, and Tang Feng to the General's Mansion.

In the general's mansion, when the guards saw Tian Fan coming back, they hurriedly saluted, Tian Fan smiled and nodded in return, and said a few words to those who knew him, which immediately flattered them. Mr. Tian hasn't been in such a good mood for a long time, what's wrong today?

After entering the main hall, he unexpectedly found that most of the military generals and ministers were present. Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Lu Yi, Zhao Yun, Pang De, Wei Yan, Chang Xuan, Zhou Cang, Cao Xing, Hao Zhao, Cheng Lian and other military generals were arguing with Lu Su, Liu Ye, Chen Deng, Xu Shu, Chen Gong, Chen Qun and other ministers.

The junior colonel said loudly: "General White Tiger has arrived!" ”

Everyone immediately quieted down, turned to look at Tian Fan, those eyes were round, like a pack of wolves that had seen meat. Tian Fan was bluffed, what is the situation? …,

Before he could figure it out, these generals and ministers surrounded him with a snort, and asked in a gossipy voice, "How is it?" Did it work? ”

Tian Fan is stupid, what's wrong? What did it succeed or not?

Liu Bei pushed aside the crowd, came to Tian Fan, took his hand and said, "Boguang, you're back!" If you don't come back, I don't know what to do! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly greeted the salute and said: "Lord, if you come back, you will wait for a long time, and all sins will be committed!" It's just ......" he glanced around the generals and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Bei touched his forehead and groaned: "Boguang, I'm worried to death!" When Yide and Fengxian heard that there was a locust plague in Huainan, they thought that this was a godsend and wanted to send troops to attack immediately. But Zijing and Ziyang insisted on slowing down, and they were not in a hurry for the time being. In the end, this question came to me, and I was so troubled by their quarrel that I had to tell me about you going to form an alliance, saying that as long as the alliance is successful, and there are enough troops, send troops immediately! After a slight pause, he continued: "How is it? Did the alliance succeed? ”

Tian Fan gave a circle salute and said, "Lord, everyone, don't be impatient!" When I was in Guangling, I had already heard about the locust plague, so I hurried back, because I was afraid that you would be anxious and wanted to send troops immediately! It's a long story, so please sit down and listen to me, and then we'll take care of it! ”

When everyone heard this, they sat down noisily, and Lu Bu and Zhang Fei held Tian Fan on the left and right, and pressed him between the two of them.

After Tian Fan sat down, he rubbed his shoulders, glared at Lu Bu and Zhang Fei first, hugged his fist at Liu Bei, and said, "My lord, the alliance has been successful!" ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he yelled: "Hahaha, great!" Then we will send troops immediately! ”

Liu Bei said: "Yide, don't worry, listen to Boguang!" ”

Zhang Fei suddenly wilted, and he muttered, "What is there to say?" ”

Tian Fan punched him and said, "You shut up for me!" ”

Zhang Fei smiled and immediately shut up. Everyone couldn't help laughing, the only people who could restrain Zhang Fei were Liu Bei and Tian Fan, and Guan Yu could only be counted as half.

Tian Fan smiled and told the story of the alliance, but he didn't say anything about his assassination. finally concluded: "Lord, everyone, Uncle Sun Fu believes in people, it is expected that he will not break his promise, but it is a bit unrealistic to send troops now. ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be a little anxious, and just wanted to interject, but was stopped by Tian Fan, Tian Fan said: "Yide, listen to me first!" Lords, ladies and gentlemen, we have a lot to do to send troops. The rationing of baggage, the readiness of the army, the need for new and old soldiers to change guards, the communication with the defenders in various places, the formulation of the entire strategy, the transfer of capable soldiers from the rest of the country, etc., all these all take time, and it cannot be completed in a month. ”

Glancing at everyone for a week, Tian Fan said: "Also, I want to ask everyone, do you want to defeat Yuan Shu at a lower price, or do you want to defeat Yuan Shu at a higher price?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be puzzled, and Lu Su asked: "Boguang, if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush!" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Yide and Feng Xian's idea is right, this locust plague is indeed a godsend for us!" When the locust plague is together, there is no harvest, and the people of Huainan can be regarded as suffering now! It's just that...... The effects of the locust plague have only just begun, and the best time has yet to come for us. ”

After a slight pause, he said with some embarrassment: "Lord, now send troops, to the people, to Yuan Shu...... Still...... It hasn't had much effect yet. I think it's better for us to send troops in August! ”

Speaking of which, he couldn't go on.

Among the generals, only Zhao Yun and Gao Shun understood, and they were immediately silent. Wen Chenzhong, but everyone understood, and they were also silent, not knowing what to say. …,

Liu Bei was also silent, he knew what Tian Fan meant. With Yuan Shu's character, even if the locust plague occurs, he will still extort from the people, which will inevitably cause contradictions between him and the people. Once we wait two months and reach August, this contradiction will surely accumulate to an uncontrollable state. When the time comes, Xuzhou will definitely be able to take most of the small counties without bloodshed, and maybe only a few places with more sufficient troops will have the ability to defend it.

This is indeed a good way to reduce our own losses, but it is somewhat cruel to those innocent people!

Zhang Fei and Lu Bu were affected by this oppressive atmosphere and stopped talking. The two of them came to Tian Fan's side, and Tian Fan explained to them in a low voice. When the two understood, they stopped talking.

Yes, no one dares to make a decision about this kind of thing, and this decision is just a touch of the upper lip to the lower lip, but the population of nearly two million people in the two counties of Huainan will lose much after this incident? I'm afraid that no one can make up their minds!

After a while, Liu Bei let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Just do what Boguang said!" Once the Huainan ...... is laid Exemption from agricultural tax for three years! Other than that...... When attacking Huainan, bring more food and try to help as many people as possible. What can we do...... And that's all there is to it! ”

After speaking, Liu Bei stood up, flicked his sleeves and left.

Everyone's mood was a little low, but there was nothing they could do. The dispatch of the army must take more than a month to complete, otherwise it will not be possible to attack Huainan, and if you go at this time, you will definitely be sent to death. In troubled times, human life is not as good as pigs and dogs, everyone knows this. However, watching them die one by one, no one will be in a good mood!

As Liu Bei said, tax exemption for three years can be regarded as compensation for them!

Tian Fan stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, bowed deeply to everyone, and said, "Everyone, the only thing we can do for those people is one thing!" That is, on the day of the army, attack Huainan with the power of thunder and save the people from fire and water! I hope everyone will work hard, for the lord, for the future of Xuzhou, for those poor hundred operas, to take Huainan as soon as possible and destroy Yuan Shu! ”

With that, he strode out of the main hall. Looking at the starry night sky, Tian Fan suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and strode out of the house.

As soon as he left, Zhang Fei suddenly stood up and shouted, "Boguang is right! Instead of sighing and lamenting here, it's better to do your own thing and make more preparations for the battle of Yuan Shu! Fengxian, Zilong, Zhengqing, Lao Koji, let's go, go back to the barracks, starting tomorrow, we will step up military training, with twelve points of passion training! Walk! ”

With that, Zhang Fei strode towards the door. Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and other generals responded in groups, shouting: "Let's go, sleep well today, and step up training tomorrow!" ”

All the generals got up in unison and followed Zhang Fei to the barracks.

Lu Su stood up, waved his fist and said, "Everyone, Boguang and Yide are right! When we do our own thing, we are the greatest support for those people. Let's go, let's go, sleep well today, step up the allocation of baggage, levy food and salary, and come up with a few strategies, that's what we should do! ”

ps: Ask for a few recommendation votes, this week's recommendation is too miserable, thank you.
