"Chen Yuan, the envoy of the state army, has seen Zhang Taishou in Changsha."

At this time, Zhang Xian looked about forty years old, and his figure was tall for a southerner, even if he was placed in Bingzhou, he would be much higher than the average height. The burly figure, three-foot long hair, and copper-colored skin made Chen Yuan almost blurt out, "Second master, when did you come to Changsha, and you have achieved the position of being too guarded." ”

Yes, Zhang Xian in front of him, although he has been in Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha, but his temperament is not so much a civil official, but the first impression is more like a mighty general.

This is probably because although Zhang Xian was born in a prosperous place of Nanyang culture, he has been in Jingnan for a long time, and the people around him who can deal with him are some barbarians hidden in the mountains and forests.

It is probably precisely because of this folk customs that although Sun Jian had a tense relationship with Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, when he was in Changsha, the relationship with the Taishou of several other counties in Jingnan was barely passable, and he was quite loved in Jingnan.

If you want to truly gain the trust and recognition of the people, integrating them is obviously the most royal way.

As for changing customs or something, that's obviously a matter that can only be considered later, indiscriminately changing customs or something, unless it's a powerful party, otherwise it's basically ready to be killed by angry villagers, even if you think you're doing it for their good, after all, even if it's a powerful party, the prerequisite for being strong is to buy off the vast majority of people with land reform.

So the key to success is to make the people believe, well. At the very least, believe in the "come with you and have meat to eat" thing.

And Zhang Xian is obviously a leader in this regard.

Not only can he make the local tycoons bow down when he is in office, and the people love him, but even after leaving office, his influence on the place where he once served is still extremely huge, so that Liu Fan, the Taishou of Lingling, and Zhao Fan, the Taishou of Guiyang, as his successors, need to raise their noses.

So even if it is the old qualification of Wuling Taishou Cao Yin. In the face of the strong Zhang Xian, he also showed that he was very deferential, after all, this scheming guy has always been good at using others as guns and hiding behind himself to pick up cheap. At the beginning, he instigated Sun Jian to kill Wang Rui, who had great contradictions with both of them, and now the tense relationship between Zhang Xian and Liu Biao, this gentleman has also contributed a lot.

So you see, countless forces are looking forward to the collision between Jingnan and Jingbei, so in today's world, Liu Biaoruo still thinks that it is a big mistake to make Jingzhou sit back and relax just by forming an alliance with Yuan Shao.

Of course, the previous attack on Zhang Ji was probably precisely because of such oppression and countermeasures. However, judging from the fact that although the Jingzhou Army was very strong after the war, its actual action became extremely slow, it seems that the motivation of the Jingzhou Army is still insufficient.

Perhaps compared to the land in the north, Liu Biao prefers the vast basin of adjacent Yizhou, after all, Liu Biao has probably understood the intentions of Liu Yan, a guy whose mind may be even more gloomy than him, and after careful comparison, the terrain of Yizhou, which is surrounded by mountains and easy to defend and difficult to attack, is indeed very suitable for Liu Biao, who may not be completely regarded as a rebellious clan of the Han Dynasty.

In any case, in terms of fame in Shilin alone, Liu Biao can actually be said to surpass Liu Yan. So if the world is peaceful. So with the accumulated reputation, Liu Biao can actually be outside to shepherd the emperor. In the inside, he became the third prince to lead the government. And if the imperial power is unstable, he also has the qualifications not to lose to Liu Yu, and he has a stronger wrist than Liu Yu, and the most important thing is that as a clan surnamed Liu, he is fully qualified to ascend the throne of the Ninety-Five.

Because of this, he did a lot of things that were obviously out of line as a courtier. But as a careerist, his various actions are really not qualified, and the result of always being unable to make up his mind is naturally to become a coveted existence by all parties.

After all, because of the bias in the south, there are many people from the north, and the once barbarian land has gradually become rich and prosperous, and the academic atmosphere in Xiangyang City has also made it a leader in the Shilin. It's like Xuzhou in the past. In the hands of any careerist, as long as it is digested for two or three years, it can greatly improve its own strength.

Even if there is no such factor, you are a behemoth, in terms of comprehensive strength, the princes who rank fourth after Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Li Shushi (the top three are not in particular order for the time being) want to be a passerby playing soy sauce in this chess game of the world, and then suddenly jump out (even if it is possible) when everyone is fighting for life and death, and the fisherman will profit?

Even if you Liu Biao looked at everyone with the purest eyes, everyone would definitely not believe it.

This is not Jingzhou, which has been crippled in the history of another plane for various reasons, but even if it seems that its strength cannot match the top three in the north, it can make you hurt three points by pumping a cold shot, and even the state army already has the most personal feeling.

In this case, it is normal for everyone to greet Jingzhou Jun with all kinds of small actions in the open and in secret.

In the past, Li Shushi's merger and the land of the two rivers also walked the same road, but at that time, Li Shushi survived the crisis with the ruthlessness of the merger state army and Dong Zhuo's over-eye-catching huge body, so what about Jingzhou today?

The needle drop could be heard in the hall, and everyone was waiting for Zhang Xian's decision.

Don't look at Chen Yuan's official visit to Zhang Xian as a Taishou today, but in fact, with the help of Pan Jun and Jiang Wan, as well as the fierce water bandit named Liao Tong, who was also famous in Jingnan area, Chen Yuan has visited many important people in Changsha County who are enough to influence Zhang Xian, such as the Changsha County Cheng Huan Jie who is now standing at the head of Zhang Xian's right hand, and Yuan Long, the general of the Changsha Army who has an old relationship with Liao Tong on the left, as well as Zhang Xian's eldest son Zhang Yi and younger brother Zhang Ji who are standing behind Zhang Xian.

The reason why he made such a choice was not because Chen Yuan deliberately ignored Zhang Xian, who was the decision-maker and the most influential and powerful Taishou in Changsha and even the four counties of Jingnan, but because after analysis, it can be known that in fact, on the issue of confrontation with Liu Biao, Zhang Xian had obviously already strengthened his determination, but he had not been able to unify his internal opinions to have the result of the current stalemate.

Even the biggest leader of the opposition is his son, who looks thin and weak. Although the size inherited his father's good genes, but in other respects it is completely the standard template of respecting the scribes of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the appearance of a scholar who knows at a glance that he is powerless makes people really have to wonder if this thin seedling can hold up an independent sky for the Jingnan region like his father after his father's death.

I guess it's unlikely.

is just such a person, but because of his special status, his father's "grand plan" has been delayed until now, which is enough to make all the forces who intend to muddy the waters here in Jingzhou blow their beards and stare at Cheng Dù.

It's obviously a tiger father and dog who wants nothing and is good for nothing except his background. But it can make a lot of trouble, so you can understand why in various heroic epics, no matter how strong the hero's strength, intelligence, power, and luck are, as long as he encounters a shameless villain, he will inevitably be uncomfortable for a while or even die because of it.

Although most of the time such people look like pig teammates, they are actually the real god opponents.

Because of ordinary opponents, you can still fight, scold, and open films, but for these "big babies". You can simply say that you are helpless.

Therefore, this is why Li Shushi would rather detonate some contradictions in advance in most cases, even if it will bring some trouble or even fall into danger for a while, just like Ma Jiajun outside Chang'an City, but in fact, compared to the future of this group of people to detonate those unstable factors inside, detonating them when they have not yet entered the interior is obviously more conducive to the future and long-term.

However, even if Zhang Yi, the pig teammate of the Changsha Army and the god teammate of the Jingzhou Army, completed its historical mission excellently, Chen Yuan did not feel so tricky because of this. After some contact with Huanjie and the collection of enough information through various channels, Zhang Yi's qiē cannot be said to be completely exposed to Chen Yuan's eyes as if he had undergone an X-ray scan. But it was enough for Chen Yuan to analyze what kind of mentality this young son of the Changsha Army was so persistently opposed to his Lao Tzu's "big plan".

In fact, to put it bluntly, it really can't be said that Zhang Yi is a loser and a pig teammate.

Zhang Yi, who had studied in Xiangyang a few years ago, and even had some exchanges with Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, who was not too favored, although he had a deep understanding of Jingbei's strength, he always had a relatively intuitive understanding.

In contrast, Zhang Yi found that Jingbei was both culturally rich, economically powerful, army size and combat effectiveness. are far more than the four counties of Jingnan tied together, and what this means is naturally obvious.

So, it is exactly the same as the concept of a certain "patriot" who advocates "saving the country by curves" in another time and space, although because of Zhang Xian's existence, Zhang Yi, a little hairy head, naturally did not dare to put forward that kind of "big rebellion" remarks. But if it's a drum while beating, it's also a relaxing and enjoyable thing to mess with or something.

It can even be said that under the effect of a certain emotion, Zhang Yitong, a young patient with secondary two diseases, still feels that he is the savior.

It's just that in the face of Chen Yuan, who has collected enough information and fully understood his way of thinking, Zhang Yi quickly exposed the shortcomings of his limited knowledge. Even without the blessing of the emperor's order, as long as he used a little sophistry and exaggerated the Bingzhou army, if it weren't for the previous battle of Nanyang, which made the Bingzhou army lose some points, Zhang Yi would have changed his flag and abandoned the darkness to the light.

Even so, when the news of Jiangdong reached Jingnan, even if it was a little lagging behind, it was enough to become the last straw that broke the camel's back - Sun Cejun's predecessor, Sun Jianjun, was still famous in the north and south of Jingzhou, and Sun Cejun made a big fanfare this time to lead the army to avenge his father, and threatened to use Liu Biao's head in Xiangyang City to pay tribute to his father's spirit in the sky.

This is really arrogant, making people just want to hide their faces, but for Sun Ce, a young man, it is so suitable.

Although with the strength of the four counties of Jingnan, it is indeed impossible to compete with Jingbei, which is more developed in terms of economy and manpower, but if you add the imposing Jiangdong Sun Ce army, and the Bingzhou army that also seems to be intending to go south (flickering) in the north.

Even if the Jingzhou army does not die, it will definitely have to take off an unknown number of layers of skin, and it will definitely not be able to look south in a short period of time anyway.

As for Zhang Ji, another younger brother who has a great influence on Zhang Xian, although he was originally a neutral, Chen Yuan still took the initiative to visit - this is not to say that he is worried about Zhang Xian's recurrence. It was entirely because he had been told before his departure that visiting Zhang Ji was also the top priority of his trip to Changsha, and the priority was super high.

Naturally, this visit to Chen Yuan did not say a word about the current situation during the whole meeting, but shared the textbooks of the Bingzhou Medical College and some precious cases and pharmacies treasured by the Bingzhou State Hospital with Zhang Ji.

With such a sincere spirit of sharing, Zhang Ji also gave a warm response. He took out some of his treasures and experiences without concealment, and even said that he would go to Jinyang before his death, even if he would not live for a long time, he would definitely go to the medical school to listen to lectures, go to the hospital to sit and sit for consultation, and then dedicate his meager efforts to cultivating more medical talents.

For Zhang Ji, who has a transcendent status, such an action is just right, and Zhang Ji, who feels the goodwill from Bingzhou, will still maintain a neutral attitude, but as long as he continues to maintain this attitude. With the support of Huanjie and Zhang Yi's backlash, even though Jingnan still has some forces that oppose the war with Jingbei, it is impossible to have more influence on the general trend.

It can be said that today's meeting represents the result of this "overall situation has been decided."

"Li Zhoumu's meaning, I already know, Nanyang and Fangling counties belong to you, and there is no objection to it. It's just that now Jiangdong Sun Ce is menacing, and he has the potential to swallow the eight counties of Jingxiang, but I don't know if the state has any instructions on this matter. ”

"Zhang Taishou can rest assured. Sun Cexin has not been in Jiangdong for a long time, and the people's hearts have not been attached. Now it is only by relying on strict rule that the situation is barely stabilized, but in fact, the forces of all parties are not convinced. But in this case, Sun Ce still attacked Jingzhou with great fanfare, and if he could win it smoothly in one go, he could still use it to deter Xiaoxiao. But if you are trapped under a fortified city, or in the wilderness. Then the land of Jingxiang could not be annexed before, and then there were disgruntled people who started trouble in Jiangdong, and they could not take care of it.

Although Sun Ce is a brave man, the people around him such as Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong are all wise and resourceful, and they will not let him fall into such a predicament. Therefore, Chen Yuan thought. This time, Sun Ce used his troops to the west, and it was false to attack Jingzhou, and it was true that he brought out the hidden people in Jiangdong. Of course, if he can take advantage of the situation to get a corner of Jiangxia for him to establish a front-line base that is convenient for attacking Jingzhou in the future, I believe Sun Ce should not refuse. But in any case, continuing to go deeper is the next choice for Sun Ce. ”

So Zhang Changsha, don't worry, just follow my father-in-law's idea.

Well, strictly speaking, this is not just Li Shushi's idea, even Cao Cao and Liu Xie also gave Zhang Xian an edict, which introduced Liu Biao's suburbs to the world, as well as the strict discipline violations such as clothing, carriages and horses, etc., and finally put forward a request, hoping that Zhang Xian, as a "loyal minister" of the Han Dynasty, could send troops to the north, so that Liu Biao knew that the majesty of the Han Dynasty was still the same, and it would naturally be better if he could be sent to Xuchang. Anyway, in a word, let Zhang Xian not have worries and boldly start the film with Liu Biao.

As for the results...... Anyway, as long as there is a fight, what kind of result is acceptable to everyone.

Well, anyway, as long as you don't let the Jingzhou army be wiped out in a month, anyway, with Sun Ce, an uninvited "villain", how do you think that most of the Jingzhou army's energy will be involved by it, and it won't be able to turn the muzzle of the gun in a few months.

Zhang Xian is a very decisive person, and it is true that he can't pee in a pot with Liu Biao, in fact, when Chen Yuan got his son Zhang Yi, Zhang Xian already had no last worries, and now he has to ask in front of Wen Wu in the lobby, which is just a formality - anyway, according to Huanjie, Chen Yuan is a very talented person, and even Jingnan celebrities including Pan Jun and Jiang Wan are impressed by him, and it is impossible to be asked such a simple question.

After that, it is natural to give the order to send troops.

At the same time, it also means that Chen Yuan's southbound journey is about to come to a successful end.

It's a pity that some people don't seem to expect him to come so easily, and leave easily.

"Wen Wei is a master of Bingzhou, and now it is a blessing for us to come to such a despicable place as Changsha, and the dog admires your knowledge very much, so I can't help but want to ask Your Excellency to help you in the relationship between Changsha and Bingzhou. After all, although Changsha has made a lot of preparations for this war, the Jingzhou army is also recognized as a strong army in the south, and we are not sure of victory, so I hope Wen Wei can follow the army to give some guidance. How to say that the strength of the state army is well known. ”

I have to say that Zhang Xian's mention is extremely tempting for Chen Yuan.

Putting aside the opportunity to have actual combat, in fact, what really makes Chen Yuan irresistible is the opportunity to become famous after accepting.

Chen had a completely different reason than anyone else who joined the Bingzhou Army.

Thanking Li Shushi for rescuing him from being in trouble is naturally a very important reason, but more importantly, the encounter of his parents who have not been able to find news after their disappearance makes this child who once lived in a happy family anxious.

In desperation. This young child did not give up even the slightest hope, but with a bit of innocence, he gave birth to the idea that "if I became famous, my parents would take the initiative to come to me", which sounded very unreliable.

Such a somewhat naïve idea is naturally impossible to sue others, because even Chen Yuan himself feels that this is just a beautiful imagination of himself in despair, if he sues others, whether he gets a kind or malicious answer, the result is probably only to burst the beautiful bubble, and for Chen Yuan himself. It can be said that most of the momentum for progress has been lost.

It's like the hero in the novel who goes alone with some kind of ulterior mission - although Chen Yuan himself does not feel this way, he simply wants to find his parents, but after exhausting other methods, he can only rely on this method that makes people feel even more hopeless when it sounds.

But he really couldn't think of any other feasible way.

After all, he had already thought of all the methods he could think of, and even the methods of some funds made his behavior no different from death, if it weren't for Li Shushi and the Bingzhou Army who happened to rescue him from a desperate situation, a young life might have died.

Today's thinking, although it is a bit naïve, at least it is far from death and positive.

It is precisely because of this consideration. So if he can show himself well in this war, and even turn the tide at a certain time. Then his name will surely resound in Jingnan and even beyond.

Although I am grateful to Li Shushi, it is still too difficult to become famous quickly under today's Bingzhou military system.

Even if he had done a great job in the battle against the coalition forces, he was now entrusted with an important mission to Changsha.

"In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

The benefits and losses were quickly calculated. A confident smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face, and seeing his sunny and confident smile, Zhang Xian also showed a satisfied look - although there was not much contact, but judging from today's series of expressions, the young man in front of him was indeed worthy of praise from those around him. Maybe if you have the chance, you should consider how to tie him up in Changsha?

As long as you think that she is just a high-achieving student in the official school of Bingzhou has such an outstanding appearance, even if the other party exaggerates in order to boast about herself, but judging from the comparison between the other party's position and his own ability, Bingzhou is either ignorant of talents, or it is really as prosperous as he said, and there are countless - from the fact that Chen Yuan does not seem to feel that he is in the table of Qu Cai in Bingzhou, I am afraid that the possibility of the latter is much greater than that of the former - it is obvious that Chen Yuan's face as Bingzhou is Li Shushi's quite correct decision.

But it was because this decision was so correct that Zhang Xian had the idea of digging the foot of the wall.

Even if people in this era have not heard of the famous sentence in modern society, "What is the most important thing in the 21st century - talents", they also know very well the so-called "In the world of great contention, the king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king".

"That's great, it's better to let the dog go with Wen Wei this time, so that the dog can ask for benefits day and night."

Three days later, the Changsha Army, which had been stationed in Yiyang County in the north of Changsha County, appeared in the territory of Xiaoling County in the north of Wuling County, a strategic point close to Jiangling City, which was the original seat of Nanjun and is still an important town.
