Chapter 573: Pacifying the Southern Barbarians First

Watching Liu Biao's father and son leave, Zhang Xiu was secretly happy in her heart. There are still a lot of contradictions between him and the Jingzhou family due to repeated fights, and now the Jingzhou family has been defeated, and the people in charge have been "invited" to Chang'an. It can be said that Zhang embroidery is a knife warrior, and they are fish and meat.

However, Zhang Xiu also knew that these people from the family loved face, so he used Liu Biao's mediation to give both parties a chance. This time, as long as he can get the help of the Jingzhou family, Zhang Xiu's strength will be greatly improved again, and then Zhang Xiu's subordinates will be able to truly achieve both civil and military resources.

While Zhang Xiu was pondering, Hu Che'er suddenly walked in from outside and reported to Zhang Xiuyu: "My lord, Mr. Li from Yizhou sent a messenger. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, let out a light "oh", and then nodded: "Spread quickly!" ”

Not long after, a big man walked in from outside, and after seeing Zhang Xiu, he neatly hugged his fists and saluted, and said, "The last general, Chen Shi, has seen the general." I sent a letter on the order of Li Junshi, and asked the general to take a look! After speaking, he took out a few wax pills from his arms and handed them to Hu Che'er on the side.

Hu Che'er checked that there was no problem before handing it to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu did not immediately pinch open the wax pill and take out the letter, but asked, "Your name is Chen Shi?" What is his current position in the military? ”

After hearing this, Chen Shi was stunned for a moment, and then replied with great joy: "The last general has just been promoted to a partial general. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded his head, and said, "It seems that he has some strength, Lao Hu, you go and try his skills." Hu Che'er heard it and responded.

And Chen Shi was overjoyed after hearing this, knowing that Zhang Xiu might want to reuse him, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, General." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded his head and said, "Don't be too happy, what this general's subordinates value is strength." ”

Chen Shi hurriedly said: "The last general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the general. After speaking, he went out with Hu Che'er.

At this time, Zhang Xiucai pinched open the wax pill and opened the letter inside to look at it carefully. As soon as he looked at it for a while, he beckoned to Zhou Cang outside and said, "Old Zhou, quickly call Wen He, Yuan Chang and Jun Heng." As soon as Zhou Cang took a few steps, Zhang Xiu added: "Call Lu Xun's kid too." ”

Soon, Jia Xu, Zhong Xuan, Chen Song and Lu Xun arrived one after another. After the four of them sat down, Zhang Xiu said: "Wen Wei sent news in Chengdu that Ziyi and they have taken advantage of Liu Bei's retreat and have recaptured Linjiang. Han Sheng defeated the attacking Nanban in the south of Yizhou and captured the Nanban king Meng Shu. What do you think should be done with this barbarian king Meng Shu? ”

When everyone heard this, their brows furrowed unconsciously. To deal with Nanban, Zhang Xiu had already made up his mind, that is, to attack the heart, but Huang Zhong captured Meng Shu, but everyone was in a dilemma. Especially Zhang Xiu knew very well that this Meng Huo was a restless master, and Zhuge Liang also made a seven captures and seven verticals to make him return to his heart. Of course, Zhang Xiu himself can also imitate the seven captures and seven verticals at a time, but it takes too long to do so, and after the winter, he will attack the four counties of Nanjun and Jingnan, and if it is too late, I am afraid that it will be taken by Sun Jian.

At this time, Jia Xu said: "If this Meng Shu is killed, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." However, if it is indulged, with the nature of the southern barbarians, I am afraid that it will be reversed. ”

Everyone listened and nodded their heads. Zhong Xuan said: "My lord, can we negotiate with him and give the barbarians equal terms." ”

Hearing this, Chen Song shook his head and said, "This is not the time, if we bring it up at this time, the barbarians will only think that we are afraid of them." You have to wait until they have been beaten before you can give them the benefit. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this and nodded his head, he very much agreed with what Chen Song said. At this time, Lu Xun suddenly said: "Xun has something to understand. ”

Zhang Xiu looked at the young Lu Xun and asked in a harmonious voice: "Bo Yan has no understanding, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Lu Xun nodded and said, "What Xun is puzzled about is, why did the general pacify the Southern Barbarians as soon as possible? ”

When Zhong Xuan heard this, he frowned, and immediately said, "Naturally, it is to compete with Jiangdong for Jingzhou." ”

Lu Xun touched his smooth chin and said, "The general thinks that with the strength of Jiangdong, a head-to-head confrontation is almost certain to annex Jingzhou. After speaking, Lu Xun stared at Zhang Xiu with his eyes slender.

Zhang Xiu lowered his head and calculated silently: "Liu Bei's side still has Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Chen Zhi, and Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu. Jiangdong side, Sun Ce, Lu Meng and other generals are all there, and Zhou Yu is the mastermind. In terms of troops, Liu Bei still has an army of 80,000 who retreated from Yizhou, and although the Jiangdong side has more troops than Liu Bei, it still has to divide troops to defend the newly occupied Jiangxia. The two sides are going head-to-head, and even if Jiangdong can win, there will be no less losses. ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "If we don't make a move, it will not be easy for Jiangdong to annex Jingzhou in a short time." ”

Lu Xun heard this, nodded and said, "That's right." At present, the general of Yizhou has not recaptured Yufu, and the Yizhou army has not yet been able to attack Jingzhou from the main road. If it is only attacked from Xiangyang, even if it is defeated, there will probably be a fight between Nanjun and Jiangdong, and then only Xiangyang will attack all the way, and it will inevitably be thin. Now that the general has the advantage, the rest of the princes must send troops to strengthen their strength in order to increase their strength against the general, on the other hand, the general can slowly figure it out. In this case, the general might as well clean up the Nanban first, and wait for Sun Jian and Liu Bei to fight first, no matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to the general. ”

What Lu Xun said is indeed reasonable, with Zhang Xiu's current strength, in addition to becoming the Central Plains of Zeguo, which prince must fight with all his might. Cao *** is okay, the place under his rule is large, and the population is not as small as Jiangdong, so now is the time to seize the time to recuperate. As long as Cao *** finishes cultivating, he still has the strength to fight Zhang Xiu when he recovers his strength.

However, Sun Jian is not like this, the Jiangdong place under his rule is not small, but most of the places have not been developed at this time, if it is hundreds of years later, Sun Jian's strength in this place is definitely comparable to Zhang Xiu. It's a pity that time can't suddenly accelerate for hundreds of years, Sun Jian wants to increase his strength, and the only way to expand is to expand, and Liu Bei, who has only his last breath left, is his main target.

Zhang Xiu heard it, and nodded his head, what Lu Xun said was a conspiracy. Now Zhang Xiu's strength is like this, and Sun Jian can't be allowed not to go to war.

After figuring it out, Zhang Xiu asked: "Although the Jingzhou raiders can be temporarily delayed, the matter of conquering the Southern Barbarians should also be urgent. What should I do with this? ”

Jia Xu heard it and said with a smile: "Let's lock him up first, let Han Sheng show him the prosperity of our Han people, and then the chance of success is greater." He was not allowed to go back until the beginning of spring, and when the lord personally marched south, he took down the entire Yizhou. ”

Lu Xun heard it, nodded and said: "What Jia Saijiu said is reasonable, Yizhou has set, and it is the time when the general sweeps the world!" ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded, and said: "Let's settle this matter first, let Ziyi and Hansheng recruit 100,000 troops in Yizhou this winter and train them." Let Gao Shun return to Chang'an quickly, and then recruit 150,000 troops in Sizhou for training. In particular, there are many young people from the Central Plains in Luoyang, and many of them have not been allocated enough land, so they can be persuaded to join the army, and if our army conquers the rest of the states and counties in the future, they can give priority to the distribution of fertile land. ”

When Chen Song heard this, he clapped his hands and praised: "The lord has a great policy, so that the people of the Central Plains will definitely join the army enthusiastically, and they will also use death force in the war!" Everyone nodded their heads at the same time.

Zhang Xiu has always taken the route of elite soldiers, but this time he recruited 250,000 troops at once, and there would be a temporary tension in the grain and grass, but this was obviously to prepare for the pacification of the world in the future. The main army of the princes is attacked and dealt with with elite soldiers, but the cities that are defeated will naturally not be defended with elite soldiers so wasteful. Zhang Xiu recruited troops at this time, and Yizhou could use the weaker opponent of Nanban to train troops, and Sizhou had Gao Shun, a training expert, to arrange it, and I believe that when Zhang Xiu wanted to attack on a large scale, these 250,000 recruits could also be used.

Zhang Xiu looked at Zhong Xuan, whose face had become bitter, and said with a smile: "Yuan Chang doesn't have to worry, now that the general has a lot of men, he will naturally not be tired of you." ”

When Zhong Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up and asked, "But the people over there in Jingzhou?" ”

Zhang Xiu listened, nodded, and then said: "There are also two little guys, Fei Yi and Dong Yun, just take this opportunity to hone them." In addition, Yuan Chang's eldest son also needs to be honed, so it's not bad for him to follow Yuan Chang. ”

When Zhong Xuan heard this, his face was a little embarrassed and said, "Lord, I'm afraid it's not good for this father and son to be in the same dynasty......

Zhang Xiu heard this, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then the general will transfer Zhong Yu to Yizhou, anyway, the general will conquer the Nanban, where the terrain is complicated, and the grain and grass still have to be important, and it is not bad to hone there." Zhong Xuan heard this, and naturally nodded yes.

After everything was dealt with, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, let's disperse." When they heard this, they took their leave.

……

After Zhang Xiu stretched his waist, he walked into the back hall. As soon as I walked into the back hall, I saw Mi Zhen and Zhang Feng teasing Zhang Yi, Zhang Rong and Zhang Ying.

When Zhang Xiu saw it, he asked, "What about the others?" ”

Zhang Feng turned his head to Zhang Xiu and smiled sweetly: "The eldest mother and the second mother are inside, and the uncle and the ancestors went to Nanshan to enjoy the snow." The little aunt just went out. After speaking, he ignored Zhang Xiu and continued to tease the three little guys.

Zhang Xiu saw it, and was speechless, Zhang Feng, who was the most sticky to him before, didn't even bird him at this time. Zhang Xiu smiled helplessly and asked, "Hasn't Luo'er come back yet?" ”

Mi Zhen listened to it, was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Sister Zhen, she went to Luoyang, didn't your husband see her?" ”

What Mi Zhen said was the outbreak of the plague in Luoyang, and after Zhen Luo heard it, he immediately asked the Chamber of Commerce to organize merchants to collect medicinal materials and spirits and send them to Luoyang for use. Because of this batch of herbs and spirits, the recovery of people infected with the plague is faster.

At this moment, a little maid rushed in from outside in a hurry and almost bumped into Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu took a closer look and recognized it as Zhen Luo's personal maid, and asked urgently, "What's the alarm?" ”

The little maid saw that it was Zhang Xiu, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Master, little ...... The fourth lady is invited. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said strangely: "Luo'er is back?" Why don't you come in? ”

The little maid smiled mysteriously and said, "The fourth lady said that the master would know when he saw it." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded and said, "Okay." Then he looked over there and found that Mi Zhen and Zhang Fengzheng were having fun with the three children, so they ignored them.

When I arrived in a courtyard, I saw Zhen Luo standing on a table, peeking out from the wall. Seeing this, Zhang Xiu asked in a condensed voice, "Luo'er, what are you looking at?" ”

Zhen Luo was suddenly startled by Zhang Xiu, and he was shocked, and the whole person was unstable and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Zhang Xiu hurriedly grabbed it, supported Zhen Luo's waist with his left arm, held it with his right hand, and said in a condensed voice: "Be careful!" ”

Zhen Luo was held up by Zhang Xiu, his face turned red, and then said sweetly: "Thank you, husband." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and asked, "Luo'er, what are you looking at?" ”

When Zhen Luo heard this, he showed an excited look on his delicate face, and immediately beckoned his hand to Zhang Xiu and said, "Husband, come up quickly, you will know at a glance." ”

Zhang Xiu was surprised when she heard this, stepped onto the table, wrapped her left hand around Zhen Luo, and raised her eyes to look out of the courtyard wall. At a glance, Zhang Xiu was surprised: "Bo Yan? And also...... Cher? ”

At this time, Zhen Luo leaned into Zhang Xiu's ear, and a faint fragrance penetrated into Zhang Xiu's nose through the air. Zhang Xiu sniffed hard, his heart was hot, and his hand around Zhen Luo tightened again. Zhen Luo's face turned red, and he whispered: "Bo Yan seems to be on good terms with his little sister." ”

Zhang Xiu's mouth opened wide in surprise and asked, "When did it happen, how did the husband not know?" ”

Zhen Luo snorted lightly, hammered Zhang Xiu's arm with his little hand, and said, "You bad guy knew when he saw someone in Luoyang, and he didn't even know that his sister was coming." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, smiled, and said: "Who is called Luo'er who is a husband is tempting, but Xue'er doesn't know if she went to Luoyang to be her husband." That's when she got along with Bo Yan? ”

Zhen Luo's face turned red and then said: "It seems that at that time, Luo'er heard that it seemed that the little sister beat Bo Yan, and then Bo Yan came to see the little sister every day." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said, "I didn't expect Lu Boyan to be such a wonderful person. After saying that, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but chuckle, and after Lu Xun and Zhang Xue walked away, Zhang Xiu laughed even more.

Zhen Luo glanced at Zhang Xiu and said, "Husband, you are so bad." ”

Zhang Xiu hugged Zhen Luo with both hands, and said with a smile: "It's not bad to be a husband, how can you follow your husband." ”

When Zhen Luo heard this, the pink fist fell on Zhang Xiu's chest, and he spat and said, "I hate it." Then he put away his little daughter's posture and said to Zhang Xiu: "Husband, when I entered the city, Luo'er met a mother and son, that little stammering is very smart, do you want to take a look." By the way, follow Bo Yan and Xiaomei. After speaking, he should first cover his mouth and smile.

Zhang Xiu saw Zhen Luo's appearance, and naturally knew that she was there to see Lu Xun and Zhang Xue. However, for the little stammering in Zhen Luo's mouth, Zhang Xiu thought of someone, and in order to confirm whether it was that person, Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, for the husband, let's take a look at this interesting little stammer." ”
