Lu Kang held his hands tightly on the railing on the side of the city gate tower, and the cold railing quickly drew the old man's body temperature, making his body and even his blood gradually cold, and his heart seemed to be beating hard.

The fierce battle not far away was a little trance, the shouting and crashing sound in his ears seemed to be separated by a layer of water, the fierce and bloody killing seemed to be gradually moving away from him, he seemed to see the young man walking on the mountain road with the old servant, the young official who led the people to open up the mountains and fields, the middle-aged man who led the army and the people to fight against Shanyue, and the old man who couldn't sleep at night and wrote a book

Everything was as if it was yesterday, but these good memories were finally dissipated by the bloody breath that rushed to the sky, and the old man felt a pain in his heart, his eyes were dark, and he fell backwards.

"Adult"

"Father 1

"Lord, Shu County has been conquered1 Guo Jia came out of the office and walked to Fang Zhiwen, who was standing quietly watching the heavy snow, and said in a slightly lonely tone.

Guo Jia's face has improved a lot, the reason is naturally that he was supervised by Fang Zhiwen for refining, when Fang Zhiwen practiced martial arts, he let Zhen Xiang follow Guo Jia to ride a horse and practice swordsmanship, anyway, he didn't let Guo Jia be lazy, and the other thing was that alcohol was also restricted, according to the Miyun military order, it was forbidden to drink alcohol in the army, and now Guo Jia is Miyun participating in the military, and at the same time serving as the military advisor of Fang Zhiwen's team, he is considered a serious soldier, so it is forbidden to drink!

Fang Zhiwen was chasing the snowflakes with his eyes to practice his eyesight, he had never been so idle to go to the wind and snow, and he turned back with some surprise when he heard this.

"It's so fast, it's only the first day of siege, right? １

Lu Jining was old and frail, and fell directly on the city, Lu Jun left the city under the pretext of taking care of his father, and there were no generals in Shu County. Now that the two main generals are gone, the situation will naturally collapse, and Sun Jian is the first to enter the city, and the strength and weakness can be known. ”

Although Guo Jia tried his best to narrate the results of the battle in a calm tone, he was still emotionally a little lost. This may be the sad feeling of a rabbit dying and a fox.

"Feng Xiao is sympathizing with Ji Ninggong, right?" Tian Feng's voice came from the other end of the corridor. The person also strode over, looking energetic, more energetic than Guo Jia.

"Brother Yuan Hao, don't you have sympathy for Ji Ninggong? Anyway. Ji Ninggong is also a gentleman with good morality, and the people under his rule are all praised, I heard that on the eve of being besieged by Sun Wentai, there are many soldiers who are at home on vacation to climb the wall at night and enter Shu County to fight the enemy with Ji Ninggong. And it is also clearly written in the intelligence. Shuxian County's head is full of blood, if it is not a struggle, how can it be a river of blood in such a disparity situation, so it can be seen that Ji Ninggong's status in the minds of Lujiang people. ”

Tian Feng nodded: "From this point of view, Ji Ninggong is undoubtedly a very good magistrate, and he is also a gentleman with a good character enough to be a model gentleman, but Ji Ninggong seeks benevolence. We have no sympathy, only admiration.1

Fang Zhiwen turned around, looked at the two who were arguing, sat casually on the railing by the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Ask for benevolence?" What does Yuan Hao's words say? ”

Tian Feng didn't say anything. Instead, he walked to the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, filled the teapot with water, put it on the small charcoal stove, and reached out to roast his somewhat cold hands.

Guo Jia thought for a moment. Suddenly, he said: "That's true, it's because I think it's bad." Ji Ninggong is seeking defeat! It's okay to do this, but Ji Ninggong is really worried about the unification of the Jiangdong clan1

Fang Zhiwen pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile: "You just like to think of people in a good place, but that's okay, anyway, Lu Jining is also old, and the appropriate beauty should be regarded as a reward for his past achievements1."

Tian Feng smiled, and Guo Jia also shook his head with a smile: "Does the lord mean that Ji Ninggong is still for the Lu family in the end, and this can not only complete the temperament of the Lu family, but also protect the strength of the Jiangdong family, and at the same time, it also protects the interests of the Lu family, and finally can sell personal favors to the Sun family, and sooner or later it will be reported to the descendants of the Lu family?" ”

"Isn't it? Rather than saying he's a gentleman, I'd rather say he's a good parent and a good elder, hehe. ”

"The lord should not be mean, this is also said here, if it is spread, some people will inevitably say that the lord is intolerant."

"Let's just say it, I'm not slandering Lu Jining, I just don't want to be beautiful, and at the same time, I also appreciate that he can be so thoughtful about his relatives, okay, let's talk about the following things."

Guo Jia pursed his lips and smiled, walked to the edge of the stone table and sat down, and also stretched out his hand to warm up by the charcoal stove, while smelling the fragrance of tea that had begun to seep out.

"After Shu County changed hands, Songzi then surrendered, and the other cities in Lujiang County may surrender one after another, and Sun Jian has no doubt about entering Lujiang County."

"And what about Cai Mao and Huang Zu's movements?"

"Cai Zhong and Huang Zu should be heading towards Jichun County today, Jichun County is mountainous, and now it is basically a place where bandits are rampant, barbarians are everywhere, and people's livelihood is withering, but now it seems that as a buffer to the east of Jingxiang District, it is just right, and it can jam Sun Jian's waist ribs, and it is also a springboard to set foot in Huainan County, and the geographical location is highlighted. But the more troublesome thing is not the capture, but the governance. ”

"I'm not worried about governance, there are a lot of talented people in Jingxiang, not to mention anything else, even the Kuai family and the Pang family can get a lot of talents, as well as Huang, Deng, etc., you can rest assured."

Tian Feng stroked his beard and interjected, while lifting the teapot and pouring new tea for the three of them, Fang Zhiwen listened to the analysis and communication between the two with a smile, and his heart was very relaxed, now there are Xun Yu in civil affairs, Tian Feng and Guo Jia in the General Staff, Tian Chou in government affairs, Zhen Jiang and Li Xueyin in business, not to mention military generals, Fang Zhiwen is now completely able to be a shopkeeper, this is a happy life!

"Hehe, I hope it can be so, the generals here are also a problem, the Huangzu water battle is okay, but the land battle, especially in the mountainous areas"

"It is recommended that Wen Ping go to take charge of Jichun County, this kid can be civil and martial, there is Zilong in Xiangyang, there is no need to worry about the safety of Xiangyang, and now Liu Bei will not cause trouble everywhere, he is too busy with his own affairs, and if we put pressure on Cao Cao, Liu Bei can't wait for it."

Fang Zhiwen interjected, Guo Jia and Tian Feng both nodded in agreement, and Fang Zhiwen continued: "Talk about the possible changes in Jiangdong." ”

Tian Feng and Guo Jia looked at each other, Tian Feng spoke first: "The reaction of the Jiangdong family is still unclear, but at this time, Sun Jian has become a general trend, and if he wants to oppose it again, the effect will not be great, in fact, the problem in Jiangdong is how far the Sun family can go, doesn't Ji Ninggong know the importance of unity?" Don't you know that the threat from the north is growing? No, he must have been clear. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Feng paused, picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, and then said: "But why didn't Ji Ninggong be able to pinch the shocked clan into a ball, but let Sun Jian pick up this bargain?" ”

Fang Zhiwen nodded and motioned for Tian Feng to continue.

"In fact, Ji Ninggong is timid, because he knows that if he wants to unify the Jiangdong clan strongly, I am afraid it will not work without bloodshed, but the Lu family does not have this kind of domineering, or rather, there is no psychological preparation to accept that he may suffer tragic revenge in the future, and the Sun family is different, Sun Jian was originally a latecomer, overcoming obstacles and going all the way, if he does not have enough courage and gambling, Sun Jian will not be able to go this far."

"I understand, Yuan Hao is trying to say that to what extent Jiangdong's forces can be united and how strong they can be, actually depends on Sun Jian's determination?"

"The lord is not only determined, but also has strength, and a skillful balance under the covetousness of the surrounding forces, as well as a superb political skill with the help of strength, these are all indispensable, in other words, it depends on Sun Jian's ability1

Guo Jia said with a smile, Fang Zhiwen thought for a while, and nodded: "No matter how big Sun Jian's ability is, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of talent, in fact, the most fundamental contest between the princes is the contest between people, talents and population1."

Guo Jia thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "What the lord said is very true, in the final analysis, it is a contest between people, so that the talent advantage of Yiren is even more prominent, and what we have is the advantage of population." ”

"Fengxiao, don't separate the alien from us, but we will try our best to separate the alien 1 Fang Zhiwen reminded with a smile, Tian Feng also nodded on the side, in terms of understanding and understanding of the alien, Guo Jia does seem to be a little inexperienced.

"I see! From another angle, the problem is different! Subordinates are ashamed 1

"What's to be ashamed of, it's just a matter of experience, and the more contact with strangers in the future, you'll understand."

Guo Jia nodded solemnly, paused for a moment and said with a smile: "There are also a lot of talents in Jiangdong, I read General Shi A's secret report and the information transferred by the eldest lady, the talents in the Yangxu region seem to be concentrated in Danyang Jianye now, if Sun Jian can take Danyang in one go, there seems to be no shortage of talents." ”

Fang Zhiwen sighed for a while: "In this way, Sun Jian has Jiangdong, Yiren in the south, Cao Cao in the north, Jingxiang and Liu Bei in the west, and us in the east. ”

"Jiangdong will not be completely stable if it has not been ten or twenty years, and the Shanyue barbarians are enough for them, so Jiangdong is born to defend more than enough, and the attack is insufficient. Cao Cao does have the best chance, but he must pass the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, if Huainan can stabilize, his next step must be Xuzhou. As for Liu Bei, the situation is similar to that of Sun Jian, if he doesn't work internal affairs and public security, he has no power to expand at all. ”

Guo Jia made the situation on both sides of the Yangtze River clear in a few words, and the future trend was roughly clear.

"What about the Inhumans?"

Fang Zhiwen asked with a smile.
