Seeing that there were only named people left in the hall, Zhang Xiu immediately asked: "This battle is related to the survival of our army, how do you think our army should meet the enemy?" ”

When everyone heard this, they unanimously turned their eyes to Jia Xu, but it was Jia Xu who was Xi's military advisor, and he should speak at this time. Jia Xu was not polite, walked to the map without hurrying, and pointed to the place of the annex with his index finger, and said: "Lord, everyone, now the Yanmen Pass, the dangerous gateway from Youzhou to the annexation of the state, is guarded by the 30,000 army of Shen, and the dangerous gateway from Jizhou to the annexation of the state Huguan is guarded by the 30,000 troops of the Bodao Department, both of them are cautious and good people. If they are allowed to defend these two passes, plus the lord gives them a death order, so that they cannot go out lightly without the order approved by the lord himself, Cao Jun should not enter the state from now on, so that the war between the state should be fine. ”

Everyone listened and nodded in unison, with the danger of Yanmen Pass and Huguan, as long as the guards are not absolutely incompetent, they can definitely stop the 100,000 army according to the danger. And even if these two passes are lost, there are Taihang Mountains in the state, and there are countless dangers everywhere, as long as you retreat according to these dangers, it will be difficult to forcibly take the entire state.

Jia Xu paused, pointed his finger at Yizhou again, and said: "The lord has already made arrangements in Jiangzhou, Ziyi and Shiyuan's army is here, and there is a large army in Chengdu in the rear, so you can fight with Liu Bei's army here." As for the southern barbarians, if our army captures this place, they are still afraid of miasma, poisonous springs and other things, but if these barbarians come to attack, with their weapons and armor, the lord only needs to send troops to defend the west of the city, and the capitalists will definitely not be able to reach Chengdu.

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded and said that it was reasonable, in the past, the Han army repeatedly failed to conquer the Nanban, because the Nanban relied on geographical advantages, in fact, with the rudimentary weapons and equipment of the barbarians, it would not be the opponent of the Han army at all. Of course, the barbarians also have strange things such as fierce beasts, elephants, rattan armor, etc., but no matter how powerful these things are, the Han people only need to defend the west of the city, and the barbarians who do not have siege equipment such as ladders and wells will not be the opponent of Zhang Xiu's army.

Seeing everyone nodding, Jia Xu surrounded Hanoi and Luoyang to Nanyang, and said: "Therefore, the key to this battle is here!" Then he nodded heavily at Hanoi and Nanyang, and said: "Especially in Hanoi and Nanyang, there are the remnants of the Taihang Mountains in Hanoi, although there are dangers, but there are not many, it is too difficult to defend the entire Hanoi with the danger alone, so I think that this place is fighting, and Dang'an fights with cavalry." ”

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "As for Nanyang, the lord used to take the lead to occupy Xiangcheng, and now he can let the Gongming army go to defend Xiangcheng first, and in addition, only Zi Zhen in Fancheng is afraid that it is not enough to stop Liu Bei, and the lord must send reinforcements." And the Jingzhou army relied on the elite navy, but now since Cai Mao's death, the Jingzhou navy has been much worse than before, the lord can let Xingba lead half of the navy to the Han water enemy Jingzhou navy, as long as the Jingzhou navy is defeated, Liu Bei's army can not cross the Han water, and the defense line south of Nanyang will sleep peacefully. In the end, in Luoyang, the lord could let Wen Yuan lead the army to enter the first line of Bishui and Tiger Prison, and Luoyang could be guaranteed by the risk of two passes. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, in the face of Cao Liu's possible arrival of a million army, Zhang Xiu was not nervous. Jia Xu's arrangement was as if he had fed Zhang Xiu a reassuring pill to eat. This arrangement can be regarded as a comprehensive defensive position, and a large army is arranged to defend the places where the Cao-Liu coalition army may attack, while Hanoi, which is not too dangerous, arranges cavalry there, and the elite of Zhang Xiu's army will not fall into the disadvantage even if it is a frontal decisive battle.

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded and said, "What objections do you have to what Wen He said?" Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, and Zhang Xiu continued: "In this way, our army will defend the danger first, waiting for the opportunity to break the enemy!" Zhao Yun, the general ordered you to lead 50,000 thunder cloud cavalry and 30,000 flying feather bow cavalry into Hanoi and closely monitor the movements of Cao's army! Zhao Yun heard it, and responded: "No! ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "In addition, he ordered Xingba, and immediately after returning to Chang'an, he led 15,000 sailors to Nanyang County, and deployed defenses in the control of water and Hanshui, so as to resist the Jingzhou navy and assist Zi in defending." Ordered Wen Yuan to lead 20,000 troops to station on the front line of Bishui and Tiger Prison, and prepare to deploy defenses by watching the movements of Cao's army. The herald ordered Gongming to lead 20,000 troops into Xiangcheng, pay attention to the movements of Xuchang Cao's army, and as for the other 30,000 troops in Wancheng, they will be temporarily taken over by the Zhengfang to support Xiangcheng and Fancheng depending on the situation. Then he ordered Liangzhou Huaxiong to immediately lead 30,000 cavalry to Chang'an to wait for dispatch. Summoned Ma Dai and Hao Zhao of the state, to guard Yanmen and Huguan, if there is no order from the general, it must not be taken lightly, and Li Ru of Yizhou is ordered to strictly prevent Liu Bei and the movement of the Southern Barbarians, and there must be no mistakes! ”

Zhang Xiu issued a series of orders, and naturally someone recorded them one by one and conveyed the orders. After giving the order, Zhang Xiu asked, "Wenhe, when do you think Cao Liu will send troops?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said: "There are so many troops to be mobilized in this war, it is impossible to carry out a sneak attack, and it will definitely take a long time. If it is not bad, after the beginning of spring, the vanguard should be sent to test the attack, but the real battle will not begin until the summer. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, touched his chin and said, "Pioneer? Just to block the vanguard, the current arrangement is enough, that is to say, our army has more than three months to prepare. Jia Xu heard and nodded. Zhang Xiu continued: "After this battle, the loss of our army's military strength is definitely not a few, and we will be ready to immediately recruit 50,000 troops in Sizhou and train them, if the battle situation is not good, there are troops to support. When Fa Zheng and the others heard this, they said in unison: "What the lord said is very true. Zhang Xiu turned his head, looked at Gao Shun, and said, "Gao Shun, I just don't know if you are willing to take on this great responsibility?"

Gao Shun heard this, arched his hand, and replied crisply: "No! After a pause, he continued: "The lord treats the Wenhou family and Shun very well, and obediently teaches the method of trapping the Blood Blade Battalion and the Breaking Blade Battalion soldiers!" Zhang Xiu heard it and said in surprise: "Is this true? Gao Shun nodded solemnly.

Zhang Xiu asked in surprise: "I just don't know how long it will take for the Breaking Blade Camp and the Blood Blade Camp to practice this trapping method?" ”

Gao Shun counted it for a moment and replied: "The Breaking Blade Battalion and the Blood Blade Battalion are both elites, and practicing the method of trapping the formation can be achieved in three months, according to Shun's estimate, the combat power of the Breaking Blade Battalion after the practice is comparable to that of the trapping camp, and the Bloody Blade Battalion is even better!" ”

Zhang Xiu heard it, high-fived and praised: "Wonderful! Since General Gao taught the method of breaking the front camp and the bloody blade camp to trap the formation, the matter of recruits ......"

Gao Shun heard this, and replied simply: "Lord, please rest assured, Shun can practice it together, and ensure that you can become an army in March and have the strength to fight!" Zhang Xiu listened to it even more happily, knowing that after several years of his own fen power, Gao Shun finally returned to his heart. At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: "Liu Bei, your Chen Zhi is powerful, but now that the general's Gao Shun has returned to his heart, the general wants you to see how powerful the first military training master in the late Han Dynasty is!" ”

After that, Zhang Xiu discussed some details with everyone, and then let everyone disperse, and he dragged his tired body into the back hall.

As soon as Zhang Xiu turned into the back hall, he saw Zhang Quan, Zhang Xue and Zhang Feng each holding a child. Zhang Quan was depressed when he was holding the child, Zhang Xue was full of maternal brilliance, as for Zhang Feng, he was playing with the child, Zhang Quan next to him was cautious, afraid that Zhang Feng would make the child cry if he was not careful.

When Zhang Xiu saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked Zhang Quan: "Quan'er, how can there be three children?" ”

Zhang Quan's eyes swept to the inner hall, and then quickly approached Zhang Xiu, and whispered: "Dad, two of them were born to two mothers, and one was born to Aunt Mi. Now the two mothers are waiting in the back hall for you to go in. After speaking, he gave Zhang Xiu a look, meaning that you are asking for more blessings.

After speaking, he led Zhang Xue and Zhang Feng away. And Zhang Xue also whispered when she walked next to Zhang Xiu: "Brother, I didn't expect you to do this kind of thing, my father and mother are also in the inner hall, you should be careful." After speaking, he hugged the child in Zhang Feng's arms and took her out with him.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his head was immediately stunned, how could he have expected that after only having a relationship with Mi Zhen a few times, he would make her pregnant with his own child, and the most troublesome thing was that he didn't know anything about it. By the time he returned, the child had already been born. With a wry smile, Zhang Xiu walked into the hall with a hard head.

As soon as I entered, I saw Zhang Ji sitting alone on the main seat, and Zou Shi, Chen Yao, and Cai Yan were all below, and Mi Zhu had come in at the guest seat for some time, but Mi Zhen was sitting next to Mi Zhu.

When Zhang Ji saw Zhang Xiu coming in, he glared at him angrily. Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly in her heart, bowed to Zhang Ji, and said, "Xiu has seen my uncle." ”

Zhang Ji said "um", then pointed to Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen, and said: "Bo Yuan, you are very pleased to have this achievement as an uncle now, and you are worthy of your father." Uncle Wei knows that now that Cao Jun has made a move, he may come to attack on a large scale, and you must be too busy. But the so-called self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, and now the family is not together, how to talk about governing the country and the world. Uncle Wei didn't interfere much in this matter, and now in front of Zizhong and Miss Mi, you will make a decision yourself. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, first glanced at Chen Yao and Cai Yan, although Chen Yao was already a mother, she was still as shy as a girl, and whispered to Zhang Xiu: "The husband's decision is Yao'er's decision." Next to him, Cai Yan glanced at Zhang Xiu and said, "Sister Mi has even given birth to a child now, why should my husband give her a name." ”

Zhang Xiu looked over here, first glared at Mi Zhu, and then looked at Mi Zhen, whose face was even redder, and then arched his hand to Zhang Ji and said, "Uncle, Xiu is going to accept Mi as a concubine." He turned to look at Mi Zhu and asked, "I don't know what Zi Zhong wants?" ”

Mi Zhu heard it, nodded and said: "The general Kennashe sister is a concubine, but the Mi family is high, how can Zhu not obey." You must know that Mi Zhen is married, and then she was divorced, and the Mi family is not a big family that is famous all over the world, Mi Zhen naturally can't be a wife if she wants to get started, and Zhang Xiu has no concubine, so Mi Zhu's Gao Pan is not modest. Mi Zhen over there nodded and said, "But it's up to the general to decide." ”

Over there, Zhang Ji nodded and said: "The matter of taking a concubine can be simplified, and Bo Yuan will complete this matter as soon as possible after the beginning of spring." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded when he heard this, but he knew that because Mi Zhen gave birth to a child for himself, if he didn't give him a name as soon as possible, it would be bad for the child and Mi Zhen. Seeing this, Zhang Ji waved his hand and said, "Okay, this matter...... At this time, Cai Yan suddenly spoke: "Uncle, slow down." Zhang Ji heard Cai Yan speak, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Cai Yan glanced at Zhang Xiu and said, "Since my uncle is here today, why don't you settle the matter of the Zhen family's sister as well." ”

When Zhang Ji heard this, he glared at Zhang Xiu angrily and said, "Bo Yuan, what's the matter with you and Miss Zhen?" ”

Zhang Xiu remembered the ambiguous scene with Zhen Luo in front of the gate, and could only smile bitterly in her heart. However, Cai Yan said at this time: "This matter is not about the husband, but because Yan knows that Sister Zhen has a deep affection for her husband, and many people in Chang'an already know that Sister Zhen is not a husband and will not marry." Now the husband is also a prince, only Yan and his sister's second wife, outsiders often say that Yan and his sister are jealous, since his uncle is here today, Yan thinks that the husband should not include Sister Zhen in the door.

After Zhang Xiu heard this, she naturally applauded in her heart, which man doesn't love beautiful women, especially big beauties like Zhen Luona. It's just that Zhen Luo is not as easy to handle as Mi Zhen, this woman is quite scheming, if she starts, I am afraid that only the smart Cai Yan can suppress her.

And Chen Yao, with his confused personality, Zhang Xiu thought about it or forget it. And Zhen Yi is not as knowledgeable as Mi Zhu, I am afraid that he will take advantage of the opportunity of Zhen Luo's entry to collude with many businessmen.

This is what Zhang Xiu is most worried about, after all, he is not an ordinary person, and his every move has a great impact, not to mention marrying a wife and taking a concubine.

Cai Yan seemed to see Zhang Xiu's embarrassment, and said: "Sister Zhen once said that the head of the Zhen family will not make it difficult for her husband. And the husband must also set a rule for future generations. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and at the same time secretly praised that this Zhen Luo was really a smart woman who saw through Zhang Xiu's mind at once. Now with the support of Zhang Xiu, the businessman is in a hurry, and the influence of the businessman will inevitably become greater and greater in the future. Although Zhang Xiu forbade three generations of businessmen from engaging in politics, it was difficult for Zhang Xiu to guarantee that future generations would marry a woman from a businessman's background. In this way, the businessman was given the opportunity to gain power, which was contrary to Zhang Xiu's original intention. And what Zhen Luo said set the rules for future generations, in fact, let Zhang Xiu set the rules after accepting the daughter of a merchant, so that businessmen could not borrow privileges to gain power.

Zhang Xiu's heart is like a mirror, and he immediately understood the meaning of Zhen Luo's words, Zhen Luo first considered Zhang Xiu, and went to Zhang Xiu's worries, and at the same time, because Zhang Xiu wanted to accept Mi Zhen as a concubine, if he didn't wait for Zhen Luo to also enter the door, it would be difficult to maintain the balance of the two forces in the Chamber of Commerce. But he smiled bitterly in his heart, and said secretly: "In this way, I really have to include this little girl in the door." ”

Nodding, Zhang Xiu said: "Okay, Xiu will wait for Yishan to go to Xiu for 7-hire, and choose Zhen and Mi as concubines, I don't know what my uncle wants?" "Happy New Year's Day to all!!
