"The lord is wise." Guo Jia first gave a little fart, and then said with some concern: "Do you also want to inform Xu Shu and Li Ru, so that they can support Wang Kuang in Hanoi, where we can hold on a little longer, it will buy us more time." ”

"No." After hearing this, Zhang Chao shook his head and said: "We have already angered Yuan Shao, if Guo Tu and Xu You were not bought by us this time, I am afraid that Yuan Shao's army would have been ready to drive to Youzhou." As the saying goes, one can be two can not be three, we knocked Yan Liangbu out of Yanmen, and then out of Daijun, if we interfere in the affairs of Hanoi, it will inevitably really anger Yuan Shao, if so, I am afraid that he will change his mind and come to find us trouble, now is not the time. ”

Listening to Zhang Chao's thoughts, Guo Jia also nodded and said, "The lord's concern is good. But if no one interferes with it, Jia fears that Yuan Shao will soon occupy Hanoi, and then we will be in danger. ”

"Don't worry about this, isn't there still Cao Agui, don't worry, he will make a move." Zhang Chao smiled very confidently and said: "Of course, it is right not to participate in the war, but it can be sent out at the appropriate time to put pressure on the side, in short, let this battle exhaust Yuan Benchu's energy." ”

Seeing Zhang Chao so confident, Guo Jia was relieved: "It turns out that the lord has already planned, so Jia can rest assured." ”

What is not planned, Zhang Chao didn't do anything, he just knew Cao Cao's character, and he believed that he would definitely not miss such a thing to make trouble for Yuan Shao.

...... ......

Xuchang.

The location of the Son of Heaven is also the residence of Cao Cao, who has just been promoted to Sikong.

It is worth mentioning here that because Zhang Chao kept Hua Tuo by his side, Cao Cao also did the same, and invited another Zhang Zhongjing, who was given the name of a medical saint in later generations.

Zhang Zhongjing, the name of the word machine is Zhongjing. Born in a declining bureaucratic family, his father was an official, and he himself held an important position as a Taishou in Changsha. Later, I saw the story of Bian Que's visit to Qi Huan Gong from the history books, and I admired Bian Que's superb medical skills very much. and the plague was rampant (according to historical records, there were three epidemics during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, five plagues during the reign of Emperor Ling, and the epidemic was even worse during the period of Emperor Jian'an. Tens of thousands of people have been devoured by the disease, causing an unprecedented catastrophe in ten rooms and nine emptiness. That is, his family originally had a population of more than 200 people. In less than a decade since the early years of Jian'an, two-thirds of the people have died of the epidemic, and seven out of ten of them died of typhoid fever.

In view of this, he gave up the government to study medicine, and especially in the typhoid fever, he became a very famous doctor back then.

After Cao Cao heard his name, he summoned him to his side as an emperor and became a medical officer. It is precisely because of the existence of Qiang Zhongjing that the top strategist Xi Zhicai did not die early, but is still by Cao Cao's side.

After the news reached Xuchang, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh and said to Xi Zhicai: "This Zhang Zhiyuan, sure enough, is a born calf who is not afraid of tigers, and dares to take the initiative to pick the tiger's beard." ”

"Yes, this man is not courageous, and he has a good plan to do things. Yuan Shao ignored him, but still wanted to capture Hanoi, which is the most puzzling thing. Xi Zhicai also sighed after listening to it.

"Yes, Guo Tu actually came up with a theory of time, place, and people to persuade Yuan Benchu, which is really puzzling." Cao Cao also kept shaking his head after hearing this, and he was also a little puzzled about this matter. But his nature is not a person who is obsessed with small sections, after saying this, he brushed the matter over, but looked at Xi Zhicai and said: "Yuan Shao wants to seize Hanoi next, I can't let it go well." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, my lord, everything will be left to Zhicai." Xi Zhicai bowed down and said confidently.

Soon after, Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, received an edict from the emperor and a private letter from Cao Cao, asking him to stick to Hanoi and become a pillar of the country and a pillar of the Han state.

Wang Kuang was not a person who was waiting to be killed, facing Yuan Shao's army, relying on the geographical advantage, sticking to the city, and adding the grain and grass secretly provided by Cao Cao, he really fought with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao attacked Hanoi, and taking this opportunity, Cao Cao also began to concentrate on training his troops and preparing to march to Yuzhou.

When Yuzhou Mu Kongling learned that Cao Cao might lead a large army to attack, he hurriedly sent people to Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Bei in Xuzhou for help, and asked for help from the two states on the grounds that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.

The war in the Central Plains is about to begin.

Taking advantage of this chaos, Zhang Chao and his army also began to recover the land of Youzhou.

Jia Xu, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici played vanguards. Without the support of Yuan Shao, the army attacked Daijun, Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping all the way to Liaoxi.

Originally, Yuan Shao also sent someone to guard here in Liaoxi County, and the precaution was that Gongsun Zhan would wave his troops down, but after learning of the arrival of Zhang Chao's army, these people withdrew in advance. When he left, he also took all the grain and grass in the city with him, and burned with fire what could not be taken away, but in short, he would not be left behind.

After Jia Xu's army arrived at Yangle City, the seat of Liaoxi County, what they saw was a dilapidated city and the streets full of people fleeing homeless and having no food to eat.

Whether it is Yuan Shaojun, or Liu Yu's subordinate Xian Yu Yinsuo Department or Gongsun Zan of Liaodong, they only know that they are fighting for their own interests. As soon as the war began, it was the common people who suffered, they were displaced, they had no land to cultivate, they came without income, they starved to death, and it was common for them to freeze to death.

Seeing that many people on the street were still wearing single clothes, Jia Xu's face was tense for a while. "Come on, pass on the order, give the extra winter clothes in our army to the people, and at the same time build a porridge shack, the people can't die."

Someone went down to arrange it. That's all Jia Xu can do, as for how to solve these refugee problems, he believes that the lord who is coming behind him will definitely have his solution.

has been following Zhang Chao for a long time, and as a strategist, he is very recognized for his ability to develop the economy. Especially for Zhang Chao's attitude towards the people, he is very gratified, and he loves the people like this, and I believe that these ministers will not be wrong with them in the future.

As soon as the refugees were settled, someone came to report that a person named Tian Chou had come to meet them.

"Tian Chou? Good speed. After Jia Xu sighed to himself, he said: "I'll go to the county guard mansion and invite Mr. Tian here." ”

In the county guard of Liaoxi County, it was also dilapidated, except for useless tables and chairs, other things that could be moved were removed, so that Jia Xu saw that the guests were also cleaning up for a while.

"Hehe, Brother Zitai, the conditions are limited, please forgive me." Jia Xu said to himself, and found a freshly wiped open space and sat down.

Tian Chou smiled bitterly for a while, and then he also sat down on the ground and said, "Brother Wenhe, this is our fault." did not defend the land of Youzhou, causing the people to suffer, and the pastor Liu Yu suffered. ”

Tian Chou shook his head as he spoke, as if he was really sad like that. It's just that Jia Xu didn't pay attention to these, he listened to the voice of the other party's words.

This meaning is already very obvious, that is, Youzhou is their land. If this statement is true, Jia Xu's army belongs to a foreign army, and it is indeed nominally impossible to lose a single move.

With Jia Xu's cleverness, even if he knew this, he would not let it go, but asked with an incomprehensible look, "Oh, I understand what Brother Zitai meant." It is true that Youzhou is the pastor of Liu Yu, but now that he has passed away, then this place has become a borderless land. As a general who worships the emperor himself, my lord has the power to control the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and he can't bear to watch the people of Youzhou suffer, so he will send troops, and if Mr. Liu Yu is alive, he will also agree with this move. ”

Jia Xu used Liu Yu's death and Zhang Chao's identity as an excuse to say that they intended to occupy Youzhou, and Tian Chou was shocked when he heard this. "What? Did the general come to occupy Youzhou this time? ”

"Isn't that possible? Or does Brother Zitai think that with your strength, you can deal with Gongsun Zhan and avenge the pastor Liu Yu? Jia Xu said with a rhetorical question.

"This..."Tian Chou didn't know how to answer for a while.

For Zhang Chao's army suddenly entered the Youzhou realm, he replaced Yuan Shao's army. When he first heard the news, Tian Chou and Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu were still very happy. In any case, Yuan Shao is also the enemy of the killer, and it is naturally a good thing that someone goes to them for trouble.

But I never thought that in the past, in the face of their decisive killing, the extremely fierce Yuan Shao's army retreated from the time of Zhang Chao, and the army retreated without a fight, and forcibly gave up several counties. Tian Chou volunteered to come to Jia Xu, firstly, to find out the reality of the general's army, and secondly, to think about whether he could compete for some power for himself and Xian Yuyin and others, and to have a bargaining opportunity.

Now after Jia Xu said Zhang Chao's decision to occupy the entire Youzhou, Tian Chou knew that it was impossible to stop him, and in order to better benefit himself, he said: "Brother Wenhe, that's not what you said. Although the general has the power to control the soldiers and horses of the whole country, he does not have the privilege of attacking cities and plundering land, so I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run. By the way, I forgot to tell Brother Wen He, but I have a very good understanding of the topography and cultural atmosphere of Youzhou. ”

Tian Chou's hint is already very obvious, as if he has already taken out his worth, and he is waiting for Jia Xu to bargain.
