It still took most of the day, and everyone took the big fish back to Qingzhou.

The generals of Qingzhou have been waiting for a long time, everyone greets each other, secretly compares, and there is no excitement.

Shi Xin first handed over Zuo Ci's Danfang to Shi A, and told him to let the brothers of the Eagle Department be sent to Ge Xuan. Another book was repaired, and the events on the Spirit Island were mentioned in a general manner, which allowed Shi A to order.

When everyone knew that Shi Xin and Zhuge Liang had both been promoted to the eighth rank, they were all surprised. The people who came back from Lingdao were originally complacent, but after seeing Zhuge Liang, they all became a little incredulous, and then they realized that there was a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the people.

The people who stayed in Qingzhou were even more yearning for Lingdao, and many people were eager to try, but they didn't dare to ask for it because of the danger of the war.

Shi Xin took in everyone's expressions and coughed, "There are different ways to upgrade, Kong Ming is the best example, and Lingdao is not suitable for everyone." I think about it, only Zhang Xiu is the most suitable at present. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiu, "Now that the war is urgent, it is the time to employ people, and after the victory of the army, it is not too late for you to go to cultivate." ”

Zhang Xiuxi was overjoyed and bowed down to thank him.

"Kong Ming, you can talk about Yuan Cao's joint attack. ”

Shi Xin sat on the state pastor seat steadily, condescending, with a serious expression, and the momentum of the eighth-rank pulse master made all the generals below dare not breathe, and stood respectfully.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "My lord, two days ago, we received a secret letter saying that Cao Cao and Yuan Shaozheng were plotting to attack Qingzhou together, and they should reach the border of Qingzhou within seven days. The subordinates knew that the military situation was urgent, and they had already opened it privately, so the lord was not to blame. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Shi Xin.

Shi Xin had already informed everyone that everything was at the disposal of Zhuge Liang when he was away, and he was also one of the people who knew Shi Xin's most things, so naturally he would not blame.

Before Shi Xin could receive the secret letter, Jia Xu had already come out and said: "The Lord forgives the sin!" The day after Kong Ming received the secret letter, the Eagle Brothers came with news that there were frequent military movements in Jizhou and Yanzhou. On the third day, all the troops were found faintly gathering to the east. On the fourth day, it had been proved that the two armies had sent 50,000 soldiers and 100,000 soldiers each, Cao Cao set out from Chenliu, and Yuan Shao set out from Yecheng, and the target would be Jinan County in Qingzhou. It is believed that within two days, the army will unite and attack the city. ”

Jia Xu's face was a little anxious at the beginning, but when he introduced the enemy's situation, he became clear and unhurried. Shi Xin analyzed it a little, probably because he was afraid that he would blame him for not doing things well.

When he took the secret letter and looked at it, he recognized that it was Yang Xiu's handwriting, since it was a secret letter sent by him, it was very good that Jia Xu could receive the news the next day.

"Wen He doesn't need to panic, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao intend to march secretly, and it is really rare for the Eagle Brothers to be able to send a battle report in such a short period of time. ”

After speaking, he frowned deeply and muttered to himself: "Of the 150,000 troops, our army is only 80,000, which seems to be a bit difficult to fight." ”

Jia Xu bowed and said: "More than three months ago, Xu Rong contained the Cao army in the Jinan area and arranged many fortifications, which have been strengthened during this time. I also ordered Xu Rong and Bo Cai to lead 20,000 vanguard troops into Jinan to upgrade the fortifications, which is estimated to delay for a while. ”

Zhuge Liang continued: "There are 60,000 soldiers left in Beihai, and they are ready to go, and the grain and grass have been prepared. The army had been resting for nearly half a year, and the mood for war was high, and they were all ready to defend their homeland. In addition, Beibi Mountain sent a team of 500 doctors by January, and we have arranged it in the logistics team, and I believe it will be of great use at that time. Everything is ready, just wait for the lord to come back and preside over the overall situation. ”

Shi Xin nodded in encouragement, "It's been a good time. There is Uncle Liu Huang as a barrier in the south of Qingzhou, which is as stable as Mount Tai, so we should attack with the whole army and fight with the Yuan Cao coalition army!"

He took a deep breath, Huo Di stood up, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the enemy has bullied us to our doorstep, the survival of Qingzhou is in our hands, and the happiness of the people and the trust in us have also reached the time to review the results." The enemy is twice as large as ours, and this battle is destined to be hard, do you have the courage to fight with me?"

The blood of the generals was instantly ignited by Shi Xin, and all the staff knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison: "Please preside over the overall situation, fight with the enemy, and never die!"

"Okay, everyone, get ready, let's go in an hour!"

The generals agreed and went their own way.

Shi Xin left Jia Xu behind and inquired in detail about the movements of the princes in the past three months.

"Lord Qi, Liu Zhang is in danger!" this was Jia Xu's first sentence.

Zhang Lu led the Zhengyi Sect to fight a decisive battle with Liu Zhang in the north of Chengdu, and was originally defeated by Zhang Ren and others. During the pursuit of victory, suddenly three thousand heavenly soldiers came out from the hidden place, and Zhang Ren was caught off guard, and the Yizhou army was even more shocked, some fainted due to excessive fright, some knelt down and bowed before the battle, and those who were expected to flee in this formation, and they were in chaos. Zhang Lujun immediately turned the tide, turned defeat into victory, drove Zhang Renjun back to Chengdu, and never dared to fight again. ”

"Heavenly soldiers, this ......" Shi Xin's head suddenly grew.

"These men are dressed in golden armor and their weapons are golden. Invulnerable, kill people when they see them, and anyone who sees them will think that they are heavenly soldiers. ”

"What does Wen He think?"

"It's unlikely that the Heavenly Soldiers are strong, but their combat effectiveness is indeed very strong. This can't help but remind me of another special army......"

"Wen He is talking about Sima Yi's corpse soldiers?" Shi Xin had to think so, the corpse soldier made too deep an impression on him.

"Not bad!" Jia Xu's eyes flashed, "The same fearlessness of life and death, the same invulnerability, it's hard not to let people connect." It's just that they are two extremes again. The heavenly soldiers are sacred and bright, and the corpse soldiers are evil and dark. ”

"So did the Eagle Brother find out something?"

"Alas, it's not easy...... Jia Xu shook his head rarely, "Zhang Lu's army, like us, is managed by sectarian ideology. He managed carefully in Yizhou, and although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was not too strong, only 10,000 soldiers, it was enough to work together and be loyal to Zhang Lu until death. Every recruit who joins must be carefully selected and closely monitored, so it is very difficult for the Eagle Brothers to break into their interior. ”

"What is the situation in Chengdu today?"

"There are our people in Chengdu. They sent a letter saying that Chengdu was demoralized, Liu Zhang was mediocre, and he had already messed up his senses, and if it weren't for Zhang Ren, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Yan Yan and others who were working hard, they would have mutinied a long time ago. Fortunately, Yizhou has always been rich, with plenty of grain and grass, and it is safe and sound under the protection of the true dragon shield. If there are no accidents, it can be maintained for a year and a half. ”

"Zhang Song?" Shi Xin was interested, "What is this person's usual style?"

Jia Xu didn't know why Shi Xin had this question, so he replied truthfully: "Zhang Song is engaged in Liu Zhang's other driving, and he is good friends with the law." He was shrewd and capable, but he was a bit of a dissolute man, and many people didn't like him. ”

"I see......"

Zhang Song was a well-known insider in his previous life, and he was even more suspected of being a seller seeking glory, if he hadn't threaded the needle for Liu Bei's entry into Shu, it would have been difficult to attack Yizhou.

Seeing that Shi Xin was silent, Jia Xu was inconvenient to ask. It's just that Shi Xin mentioned Zhang Song alone, so that Jia Xu secretly left an intention to see if it was time for the brothers of the Eagle Department to keep an eye on him.

After talking about the affairs of Yizhou, Jia Xu continued to explain the war in Yangjing Erzhou.

"Three months ago, the two armies fought in Lujiang, and each won or lost. At that time, the Jiangdong Army was newly dead, and the morale of the army was a little scattered. What is unexpected is that although Sun Quan is young, he has a bit of the ability to buy people's hearts, and with the assistance of Lu Xun, Gan Ning and Huang Gai and other four generals, he has done a good job, and his morale has gradually risen. Just a month ago, the Jingzhou army was forced to the corner of the Lujiang River, and in time, the Jingzhou army would definitely be driven out, and maybe it would advance to Jiangxia County again. ”

Jia Xu sighed lightly, "The brothers of the Eagle Department have sent back the news that Sun Quan has gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou. The military generals of Wenchen worked together to put the entire Yangzhou in order, and the atmosphere was completely new. Compared with Sun Jian, who was reckless, he paid more attention to all-round development, reused Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, and the people's support was better than that of Sun Jian. Subordinates thought ...... Even if Sun Bofu can prove his innocence, he may not be able to take away what he has when he returns to Yangzhou. ”

Shi Xin's eyes rolled and he thought: Wouldn't this be better, I will strengthen my strength with Sun Ce in one hand, if he can easily recapture Yangzhou, won't it be a bamboo basket to draw water? It is best if Sun Quan can capture the entire Jingzhou, and Sun Ce will follow me with all his heart.

Jia Xu looked at Shi Xin, how could he not understand the reason, but he just saw through it and didn't say it.
