Hurried footsteps sounded in Shouchun City, and a soldier rushed to the governor's mansion with a bamboo slip in his hand. Guo Dapang looked at the figure running over, with a puzzled look, and then hurriedly followed.

Originally, after the end of the war a month ago, he planned to secretly lead overseas troops back to Yizhou. But he didn't want Jia Nian to come suddenly, the army was back in Yizhou, but he was arrested.

During this time, he was busy giving Liu Ye a hand, busy restoring production in Jiujiang and Lujiang, and his life was hard.

There is no way for anyone to let Jia Nian be the elder brother, and the younger brother can only accept his fate.

"Newspaper"

"Yanzhou Emergency"

"Jizhou Emergency"

"Yuzhou Emergency"

"Guanzhong Emergency"

In just a few moments, several soldiers ran over quickly. Then respectfully put the bamboo slip on the desk, turned around and left quickly.

Jia Nian looked up from the pile of bamboo slips on the desk and saw that it was Guo Dapang who was snorting at him.

Guo Dapang's face collapsed instantly, what is so strange, isn't it better to be lazy outside? I actually made nothing to look for. Although reluctantly, the foot walked over honestly.

"The Lord"

Liu Ye walked in from outside and shouted at Jia Nian.

Jia Nian hurriedly got up.

"What is the reason why the military advisor is here?"

"Yuan Jizhou attacked the Black Mountain Army of Bingzhou, and has captured Yanmen County and dredged the passage to the grassland"

And not long ago, Chongzhou sent an envoy to Jizhou to implement the policy of dividing the grassland, and gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses from the two states to rush to the grassland at any time. It is rumored that the wealthy families in the Central Plains, the north and other places are happy to go to each other, and there are signs of attacking Xianbei"

"Xianbei?"

Guo Dapang thought about it.

Xianbei was originally a foreign tribe on the grassland that was not very powerful, but after being supported by the Eastern Han Dynasty, its power expanded rapidly, and the Xiongnu were defeated again and again. At that time, the territory of the Xiongnu had basically become a land of Xianbei. And, in turn, threaten the security of the borders.

A sentence comes to mind, who do you outsource your security to, and the last threat to your safety is the outsourced alien.

This is also a kind of shooting yourself in the foot.

Guo Dapang sighed.

"Xianbei is divided into three, and the three parties are fighting with each other, and at this time, the troops of Chong and Hebei can attack or expand the territory for hundreds of miles."

"In the land of the foreign grasslands, divide the wealthy families, I am afraid that this north will fall into a larger-scale vicious war"

Liu Ye sighed.

The north is too far away, even if Yangzhou's hand reaches the limit, it can't reach that place. Then he thought of another thing, and continued to say to Jia Nian.

"I don't want to send news before, Sun Ce, the general under Yuan Yuzhou, led Sun's soldiers and horses and more than 10,000 elite soldiers from Yuzhou to Hongnong and went straight to Chang'an."

"Now Hongnong City is broken, and Zhang Ji is dead in battle"

"Zhang Xiu took over the army to seize Wuguan, attacked Wancheng and cut off the back road of Sun Ce's department"

Jia Nian couldn't help but be stunned, it was said that during this time, the governor of Yuzhou was so quiet, and he was secretly preparing for a surprise attack on Guanzhong. The tens of thousands of troops are huge, how can they hide their ears? This is a bit unbelievable.

Could it be Zhou Yu's hands and feet? Or is it the cover of the wealthy family.

Countless thoughts flooded in his heart, and Jia Nian fell into deep thought.

"The military advisor is here for these two things?"

"Second piece, to be exact"

"The second piece?"

Jia Nian frowned.

Wancheng and Yangzhou are far apart, what does this matter have to do with Yangzhou? Can they have an impact on Yangzhou? I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when I thought of this.

Looking at the change in the expression on Jia Nian's face, Liu Ye said.

"Zhang Ji's defeat was not because the strength of his soldiers was poor, but because he lost without being wary of Yuzhou"

"I wonder if the lord intends to accept this Xiliang Iron Horse?"

"Wancheng and my Yangzhou are separated by Jingzhou and Yuzhou, even if you want to collect this army of soldiers and horses, I'm afraid you can't start"

"It is precisely because of Jingzhou and Yuzhou that it is possible to receive this army of soldiers and horses"

"This?"

Jia Nian hesitated.

Guo Dapang also looked suspicious.

The two sides are separated by a long distance, and it is not nonsense to subdue Zhang Xiu.

"Has the lord forgotten anyone?"

"Who?"

"Jia Xu"

Liu Ye spit out these two words.

Guo Dapang and Jia Nian were stunned at the same time, and then reacted.

"Jia Xu is the military advisor of Zhang Xiujun, and now Zhang Jixin is unstable in mourning the army, although Zhang Xiu took over the army and also captured Wancheng"

"But it is precisely because of Wancheng that they will fall into an even more dangerous situation"

"How will Yuzhou give up when he learns this news? If Sun Ce's troops captured Chang'an, would they sit idly by and watch Wancheng not be in their hands? In recent years, there have been many natural disasters in Guanzhong, and food supplies are urgently needed. If you can get a steady stream of food, you will be able to win the hearts of the people in Guanzhong."

"In the face of this situation, it is bound to be difficult to tolerate Wancheng"

"Then the only thing you can do is to take refuge in Jingzhou"

Liu Ye paused when he said this.

Then the conversation changed.

"Will Jingzhou agree?"

"I just fought a battle with Yuzhou not long ago, and I returned in vain"

"Now that the south is about to go to Jiaozhou, it is obviously not advisable to drag the troops in Wancheng at this time, so Zhang Xiu's desire to take refuge in Jingzhou can only be wishful thinking."

Listening to these analyses, Jia Nian vaguely seemed to understand, and looked at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye continued.

"At this time, if the lord sends people to mourn, he will be able to collect all the embroidered soldiers and horses. Then take them to Jingzhou and go to Yangzhou."

"Jingzhou is about to join forces to attack Jiaozhou, so it must not be difficult, wouldn't the lord easily get a team of soldiers and horses?"

"Mourning? Zhang Xiu? Jia Xu? ”

Jia Nian fell into deep thought.

Liu Ye didn't make a sound, just waited quietly.

"Sending an envoy is not enough to show respect, I should take Guo Dapang to go in person"

"The lord is going to go in person?"

"Exactly"

Jia Nian said to Liu Ye.

Liu Ye looked embarrassed.

"The three counties of Jiujiang, Lujiang and Guangling were initially decided, is it a little inappropriate for the lord to leave at this time?"

"It won't take long to go to Jingzhou, even if there are any changes, the military division will be enough to deal with it"

Jia Nian paused at this point.

After a moment of silence, he said to Liu Ye.

"If there is really an accident, you can take Da Qiao here and let him deal with it as the main mother"

"Then it is enough to send a messenger to inform me"

"No"

Liu Ye saw that Jia Nian had made up his mind, and bowed down and said.

Yangzhou's shortcoming is cavalry, although there is no gap in the previous campaigns. But if you fight against the cavalry in the Central Plains and the north, you will inevitably suffer. But once Zhang Xiu's department is recovered, then the situation will change.

It is also impossible to build a Xiliang Iron Horse in Yangzhou or even overseas.

Although there are few soldiers, it is what Yangzhou needs, and the lord does not have the heart to fight for hegemony, but now that he has it, it is absolutely indispensable.

Besides, with the relationship between Wuwei and Jia Xu, there should be no changes in this matter.
