Yilu only re-examined Lu Hai at this time, and at this time, Lu Xun subdued the black and gray of his face, revealing his original white skin. Although the Confucian clothes on his body have become no longer glamorous after a round of escape, they still look very neat. Coupled with the flash of wisdom between the opening and closing of his eyes, and the confident smile on his face, Gan Ning realized that this son was not simple at this time.

After seeing it, he couldn't help but ask: "How does Bo Yan know about our army's arrangement?" ”

Lu Xun saw Gan Ning's question, and he also had the heart to show his ability, so he smiled and said, "Guess."

Zhang Quan and the others next to him heard this, and they all looked at Lu Xun with a smile. Gan Ning heard this, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a condensed voice, "How do you guess?" ”

Lu Xun also had the heart to reveal his ability, so he replied in a good time: "After Xun got on the boat, I heard from Mr. Bo Miao that Cao Mengde flooded the Central Plains, and everything behind it was naturally guessed. ”

Gan Ning heard this, and asked with some surprise: "Can you guess based on this piece of news alone?"

Lu Xun smiled indifferently and said: "Cao Mengde flooded the Central Plains, so that the Central Plains turned into a Ze country, and it can no longer be a battlefield." And the real battlefield is only Nanyang and Hebei. However, the eldest prince had just defeated Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang in Nanyang, and Cao Jiang was forbidden to capture him, and the battle situation in Nanyang was naturally unfavorable to Cao Mengde. As for Hebei, although Cao Cao had an army of 300,000, he had been confronting General Zhao for several months, and his daily consumption of grain and grass was huge. In addition, Cao Mengde is now flooding the Central Plains, and the grain and grass are even more unsustainable, and the 300,000 army can capture Hanoi and Hedong, and then it becomes powerless. It must be known that after seizing Hanoi and Hedong, there is Kei Pass in the north to guard the gateway of the Imperial Union State, Linjin Pass to protect Guanzhong in the west, and the Yellow River in the south. Cao Mengde may be able to take advantage of the situation to capture these two counties, but this place is surrounded on three sides, and it is difficult to defend it without heavy troops, so how can Cao Mengde have so much grain and grass supply. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xun smiled confidently and said loudly: "In this way, the general can't attack Cao's army, and Cao Mengde can't attack again, it's inevitable that the two families will strike their troops!" ”

Gan Ning heard this, and said with half-squinted eyes: "Although what Bo Yan said is reasonable, it is not inevitable. Bo Yan also knew that our army had just defeated Cao Jiazi in Nanyang, and was captured alive and forbidden, and under the good situation, he only needed to wave his army to the north, and he could attack Xuchang! small

Lu Xun regained his indifferent expression again, shook his head and said, "This is not good for the general!" The general is a wise man, and he will not do anything unfavorable!

At this time, not only Gan Ning, but even Zhang Quan and others behind listened attentively. Especially Li Han, Jia Mu, and Xu Gai, who are keen on the art of war and strategy, as for Ma Qiu and Hua Jian, they also looked at Lu Xun silently.

I only heard Lu Xun continue: "Attacking Xuchang, not to mention that Xuchang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, where the Son of Heaven lives, the general will directly attack the city. The strength of Xuchang City, which has been run by Cao Mengde for more than ten years, cannot be captured in a short time. And even if Xuchang is captured, it will not be of much benefit to the general, you must know that at this time, the Central Plains has turned into a Ze country, and if you get Xuchang, what if you want the Central Plains? If you want it, you need to spend manpower and material resources to rebuild the Central Plains, but you must know that the Central Plains does not have too many dangers to defend, and after it is built, it will only be plundered by Cao Mengde. Don't, it's useless to take Xuchang, why waste troops and do this thankless thing. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xun rolled his eyes, looked in the direction of the west, and said confidently: "On the other hand, in Jingzhou at this time, the Bei army went deep into Yizhou and did not return. General Gan's naval army defeated the Jingzhou naval army, at this time the Jingzhou naval army was only stationed in Xiakou, and now General Gan can lead the naval army out of the Yangtze River to Jiangdong secretly. can do it without knowing it, but I am afraid that if I really want to fight, the Jingzhou naval army in Xiakou is not the opponent of General Gan

Lu Xun's sycophant slapped Gan Ning's eyebrows and smiled. However, Gan Ning was not arrogant, his eyes quickly returned to clarity, and motioned for Lu Xun to continue.

And when Lu Xun saw it, he also secretly praised Gan Ning for being powerful, not only brave, but also strategic, and definitely a general's talent. Thinking about it, Lu Xun continued: "In this way, the general's army can attack the hinterland of Jingzhou at any time, and if you don't take advantage of this time to seize Jingzhou, how long will you wait?" Moreover, Wu Hou has watched the battle for a long time, and if he doesn't make a move at this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to get anything out of his time. Liu Bei organized the Nine-Way Army to crusade against the general, how did he know that in the end, it was impossible to steal chickens and rice, and now the general's only two three-way armies are enough to make Liu Bei hurt his muscles and bones! After that, Lu Xun's eyes were slightly closed, and the confident smile appeared on his face again.

After listening to it, Gan Ning found that what he said was exactly the same as what Zhang Xiu said in the letter, if it wasn't for Gan Ning who burned it with his own hands after reading the letter in Jingzhou, he would have thought that Lu Xun would have read the letter a long time ago. At this time, Gan Ning already felt that Lu Xun's talent was by no means under Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others.

However, Gan Ning was extremely surprised that Lu Xun suddenly appeared here.

Moreover, Gan Ning and other high-level officials naturally knew about Wang Shuang's rebellion, and Gan Ning was a little wary of Lu Xun's sudden appearance. However, Gan Ning knew that this was not his responsibility, and the matter had to be handed over to Zhang Xiu to deal with.

These thoughts flashed through Gan Ning's mind like lightning, and finally he pondered for a moment and said, "Grand Prince, our ship will go at full speed tonight, and it will pass through Xiakou and enter the Han River. After tomorrow, Ning will send you to the Zilong tent to listen to it, as for Boyan and Miss Sun, Ning will send someone to escort them to Wancheng first, and then send them to Luoyang to see the general Lu Xun knew that Gan Ning was guarding himself, so he nodded and agreed. Zhang Quan was not too worried about taking Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang to the battlefield, so he nodded and agreed.

After the business was over, several people had dinner in the cabin. Zhang Quan and a few children eat some dry food after arriving in Jiangdong, and now Gan Ning's boat has wine and meat, as well as fatty river fresh, so that everyone is excited to eat a full meal.

That night, the fleet successfully passed through Xiakou, and although the Jingzhou Navy had already discovered Gan Ning and his party, Gan Ning was fast and had a strong impact. The two Jingzhou naval warships that came forward to intercept were directly sunk, and then watched Gan Ning's fleet swagger away, and their warships couldn't catch up even if they wanted to. After hearing this, Su Fei, the commander of the Xia Koushui Army, could only smile helplessly, it was not that they didn't want to intercept it, but they really couldn't intercept it.

After entering the Han River, it was the place of Ganning, and after walking for a while, there were naval warships coming to escort it. After walking for another day, Gan Ning sent someone to continue to send Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang to Wancheng, and he went to Zhao Yun's camp with Zhang Quan and others.

Let's say that here, after Zhang Xiu sent Zhao Yunnan to fight, he stayed in Luoyang to deal with everything.

After a big flood, although Zhang Xiu's losses were far less than expected, there were a lot of troubles. After Zhang Xiu broke the embankment, he asked Zhuge Jin and Huo Jun to organize a fleet to transport sediment to the mouth of the embankment, and Zhang Xiu sent people! After the next day. Cao Cao also organized seven soldiers to tame Ming Gongkou.

At that time, the two families had not yet ceased war, but after Shuang'an met, they tacitly did not go to war, but cooperated with each other to close the gap.

The two sides kept blocking day and night, especially after Zhang Xiu transported the army back to Luoyang. Huo Jun's navy even sent sixty percent, plus the people on both sides of the Yellow River to help. With the joint efforts of many parties, it finally took more than a month to barely plug the gap.

In the following time, the two sides invariably sent fleets to save the people in the flooded area. Zhang Xiu had more ships on his side, plus the battleships were huge and fast, and the people rescued were more than ten times that of Cao Jun. And through the propaganda of the people sent by Zhang Xiu, the people of the Central Plains also knew that this flood was not a natural disaster, but actually man-made. And the one who broke the embankment was Cao Cao!

As a result, the people affected by the disaster were unwilling to accept Cao Jun's assistance. If the two fleets of Zhang Xiujun and Cao Jun arrived at the same time, the people would undoubtedly rush to Zhang Xiujun's side, while Cao Jun's side would be crowded, and only a few dozen people would be rescued by Cao Jun.

If there is no place where Zhang Xiujun appears, Cao Jun can still use the method of robbing people, but with Zhang Xiujun's location, Cao Jun will not dare to use this method. Just looking at the huge warships of Zhang Xiu's navy, they are not the small boats of Cao Jun, which are only a little better than the people's fishing boats, can fight. So later, Cao Jun encountered the city where Zhang Xiujun appeared, and retreated directly. and went to other cities to rob the people.

In troubled times, population is an extremely important resource. Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao both understood this, otherwise Zhang Xiu would not have sent a naval army to pick up the people of the Central Plains before the victims in Sizhou had been dealt with.

However, compared with Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao's side has an extremely obvious lack of confidence. You must know that Cao Cao has spent most of the past ten years in the south and the north to fight, and the territory has used tuntian to fill the army food. This battle basically exhausted Cao's army's military rations. In the end, Cheng Yu had to secretly make "preserved meat, fortunately, in the end, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu ceased war, otherwise the people of Hebei would only be afraid of suffering more." You know, although only the first batch of "dried meat" was made. "But dozens of villages in Wei County have become dead villages.

After rescuing many people, the time has entered autumn. There is no doubt that a heavy flood fell, coupled with Ma Teng's previous raids, the whole state of Chongzhou was lost, and the western part of Yuzhou was flooded and lost. The eastern part of Yuzhou was originally dominated by mountainous areas, and there was not much grain, and the water of the Yellow River had to be discharged, resulting in a lot of fertile land in Huainan downstream being washed away by the flood, and the harvest was not as good as before.

Fortunately, Liang Xi and Wang Ling stubbornly held on to the danger when Ma Teng led the army to enter Qingxu, so that Ma Teng could not successfully enter Qingxu, and at the same time kept Qingxu's food. In this way, the food shortage in various places under Cao Cao's rule was slightly alleviated, and with the grain in Hebei and a small amount of grain in Youzhou, it was enough for the army to survive the winter.

So much food is only enough for the army for two seasons, and as for the people, Cao Cao can't take care of it, so he can only let them go to the field to dig the bark and eat the roots. As for the needs of the army in the spring and summer of the next year, Cao Cao had no way at this time. If the situation is too bad by then, you can only ask Old Man Cheng to buy food. You must know that many people will starve to death and freeze to death in a winter.

Compared with Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu's situation is naturally much better. Especially before Ma Teng looted Chongzhou, saving the army more than a month of grain and grass consumption, and the batch of grain and grass that was hoarded at this time now comes in handy. The people were continuously transported to Sizhou through the navy, and Zhang Xiu had already ordered people to prepare rice soup and food as soon as they got off the boat. In addition, the autumn harvest has begun, and the two places of Chengdu and Hanzhong in Yizhou, plus the four large granaries of Guanzhong and Hetao, which have not been affected by the flood in the slightest, have bumper harvests, and the food supply of the new people is no problem at all.

And this is not the first time that Zhang Xiu has dealt with immigrants, so his officials are also familiar with it, and it can be regarded as a neat and orderly handling.

Unfortunately, this migration is not the same as the previous ones, this time the migration has survived the flood, and it is destined to have other variables.

On this day, in the mansion of the general of Luoyang City, although Zhang Xiu transferred many officials from Chang'an to help, because there were too many people, Zhang Xiu himself was also very busy.

At this moment, Huo Jun rushed in from the outside in a hurry, and before he arrived in the hall, he shouted: "Lord, something is wrong!" It's not good."

Zhang Xiu frowned when she heard this, and after seeing Huo Jun come in, she asked in a condensed voice, "Zhong Miao, why are you so flustered?"

Huo Jun hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord, a large number of soldiers of the navy army have a collective fever and vomit. There are already several boats of people like this!

Zhang Xiu was shocked when she heard this, and the whole villain suddenly got up, groaned for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "When did this happen?" ”

Huo Jun heard this, thought about it, and replied: "Before setting off for the Central Plains in three days, there were already a few soldiers like this, but at that time, they had to go to the Central Plains to save the people. Jun didn't pay attention, and when he came back, it was like that

Zhang Xiu heard it and lost her voice: "It's not good! Are the people on the ship already settled?? Huo Jun nodded and said, "Mr. Ziyu has already arranged for people to settle them overnight

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his face changed, and he shouted: "Zhong Miao, go and call Shen Tan and Shen Yi!" Just as Huo Jun was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Xiu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute!" Zhong Miao, you go back to your account now, don't move! Lao Hu, you go and find Shen Tan and Shen Yi! Lao Zhou, take three fast horses, immediately go to Chang'an to find Mr. Zhongjing, and pass on the general's order to transfer all Lang Zhong in Chang'an! Inform Yuan Chang again, be sure to find Mr. Yuan Hua too, there must be no mistakes! ”

Although Huo Jun and the others didn't know the reason, they didn't dare to slack off when they saw Zhang Xiu in such a hurry, so they immediately obeyed the order. After the three of them left, Zhang Xiu called all the guards in the mansion and instructed: "You should immediately go to the wine cellar in the mansion and bring out all the spirits, remember to be strong, not strong!" ”

When the guards heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to the cellar to move wine. Only Zhang Xiu was left alone in the hall, constantly pacing back and forth, his face was sad, and he muttered: "I have been told a thousand times, and I have explained everything, but I still can't avoid it!" After the great flood, there will be a plague, and it has already reached the people, and this time the trouble is big
