Zhao Yun and Guo Jia and others were busy reorganizing their armaments in Qingzhou, and they never forgot their responsibilities for a moment, and Zhang Liao, who was next to Qingzhou, was also conscientious, and even more energetic than ever in recent days.

If it is said that the territory currently occupied by the six major legions under the Protector Army, Qingzhou is the smallest, followed by Xuzhou. But if you talk about the surrounding situation faced by that legion, it is the Xuzhou legion.

The Xuzhou Legion only has 60,000 soldiers and horses, which is the same as the Qingzhou Legion, but Qingzhou Mu is a candidate personally appointed by Zhao Xing, so the Qingzhou Legion can still get the full support and support of Qingzhou. But Xuzhou is still in the hands of Tao Qian, and the Xuzhou Legion has always been a guest army, although Tao Qian will not turn his face and deny people, but his support for the Xuzhou Legion is naturally incomparable with Qingzhou Liu Dai.

Fortunately, Xuzhou Donghai County is almost controlled by the wealthy Mi family, and the Mi family is unswervingly standing behind Zhao Xing, so the development of the Xuzhou Legion in recent years has not fallen, but the life is definitely not as good as the Bingzhou Legion and the Youzhou Legion.

Zhang Liao had a full understanding and psychological preparation for these difficulties. Just like when Zhao Xing took Zhang Liao from the position of the number one in the Flying Tiger Army and asked him to lead the Crouching Tiger New Army, Zhao Xing always tried his best to let his fifth brother go to the most complex and difficult environment to temper himself, as if he didn't feel sorry for it. And Zhang Liao has never been afraid of challenges, the more difficult the environment, the more he is full of fighting spirit, so he has no complaints about the arrangement of the third brother.

But recently, Zhang Liao did feel a headache, so much so that he began to complain and complain in his letter to the third brother.

Who made the majestic General Zhang Wenyuan feel a headache? It was that Nanyang Zhuge Wolong!

However, it was said that Zhuge Liang had not been in Yangzhou with the veteran Han Rong for a short time, but he showed his talent to the world with his practical actions. Han Rong's name is Yangzhou Mu, and Zhuge Liang is engaged in Yangzhou's governance, but in fact, Yangzhou's political and military affairs are decided by Zhuge Liang.

When Yuan Shu left Yangzhou, he took away 20,000 elite troops and generals Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, and his younger brother Yuan Yin naturally followed, and there was also a strategist Yang Hong who did not climb another high branch, and also followed Yuan Shu to Nanyang. and the rest shall be scattered as birds and beasts.

The most valuable staff member under Yuan Shu was Zhuge Jin at the beginning, followed by Zhuge Jin's uncle Zhuge Xuan. Because Zhuge Jin was taken to the Northeast by Zhao Zhenbang, and Zhuge Xuan automatically resigned on the grounds of avoiding suspicion, Yuan Shu lost two of his most valuable strategists at once.

There are also a few second- and third-rate generals under Yuan Shu, because they are not valued by him at ordinary times, so they consciously stay in Yangzhou, take Yuan Shu to pick the remaining soldiers, and wait for the new state pastor Han Rong to come over to receive them. Among them, there is a military general named Jiang Qin, but because he was mixed in the Yangtze River to do a no-roots water business (in fact, it is a water coward), so he is not valued by Yuan Shu, who attaches great importance to his background.

Don't look at Jiang Qin is from Shui Kou, in fact, he is quite extraordinary, if it weren't for the appearance of Zhao Xing who reversed the trajectory of the historical development of this time and space, then Jiang Qin should have become a fierce general under the Sun family in Jiangdong, and his status could catch up with Zhou Tai and Ling Cao and others.

The first thing Zhuge Liang did after coming to Yangzhou Shouchun was to visit his uncle Zhuge Xuan, and at the same time, on behalf of the state pastor Han Rong, he invited Zhuge Xuan to go out of the mountain again to preside over the daily government affairs of Yangzhou. Zhuge Xuan, who was not yet sixty years old, couldn't bear to refute the face of his nephew Zhuge Liang, and at the same time, it was also to prove to the world that the Zhuge family was not raised by any force, so he gladly accepted the invitation to go out of the mountain again.

Zhuge Xuan has followed Yuan Shu for more than ten years, although he does not speak much, but he has a deep understanding of Yuan Shu's civil and military forces, and he strongly recommended the military general Jiang Qin and the scribe Yan Xiang to Kong Ming. In his original words, he said: "Jiang Qin is a good general who is conscientious in his duties, brave and good at fighting, and Yan Xiang is a good minister with noble conduct, courage to give direct advice." Yuan Highway doesn't know these two people, they really have eyes and no beads, Kong Ming must not miss it!"

Kong Ming attaches great importance to his uncle's recommendation. He was now in great need of a few people who were familiar with the situation in Yangzhou and were indeed capable, and since Jiang Qin and Yan Xiang were indeed eligible, Kong Ming immediately went to meet Han Rong and begged Han Rong to take these two for his own use.

Han Rong was very old, and he never thought that he would have the opportunity to ascend to the high position of state pastor in this life, so he put his position very right, and planned to be a "nodding state pastor" in Yangzhou from the beginning, so he naturally agreed to Kong Ming's request and never refuted it.

According to Kong Ming's suggestion, Han Rong granted Jiang Qin the post of general of Hengjiang, and let him lead the old army under Yuan Shu to practice day and night in the Yangtze River for future use. He also gave Yan Xiangshu Cao the substantive position to take charge of Yangzhou's population household registration and money and grain affairs.

After pacifying the inherent forces in Yangzhou, Kong Ming immediately commanded Han Meng, Han Rong and others to clean up the idle and suspicious people in Yangzhou, and put Zhang Liao in Shouchun and other big cities to carry out a big purge. Except for the undercover agents of the "Seed Plan" who have been lurking for a long time and have never revealed their identities, this time they were lucky enough to escape the "Great Purge" organized by Zhuge Liang himself, and the rest of the "bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods" planted by various forces in Yangzhou were all cleaned up by Zhuge Liang.

Wanting to play "Infernal Affairs" under the nose of Zhuge Kongming is really a dangerous and difficult errand.

After Zhuge Liang quickly cleaned up the interior of Yangzhou by thunderbolt, he immediately began to adjust the general allocation and defensive areas of each army, and at the same time intensified the prevention of counter-infiltration on the side of Xuzhou, cutting off commercial activities and civil influence from Xuzhou.

After Zhuge Liang arrived in Yangzhou, these fires didn't seem to move much, but they burned all the fires to Zhang Liao's eyebrows.

Without the meticulous secret agents from all over Yangzhou who often reported the news, Zhang Liao became blind to the situation in Yangzhou. Although the vast majority of the players in the "Seed Plan" have been retained, this kind of strategic force cannot be easily moved by Zhang Liao.

The absence of internal response has made Zhang Liao very uncomfortable, and as a result, Zhuge Liang continued to introduce a series of preventive measures against Xuzhou, which can make Zhang Liao worried. The first task of the Xuzhou Army is to keep an eye on Yangzhou, followed by the defense of Xuzhou, and now seeing that Yangzhou has become an iron curtain, Zhang Liao feels that it is time to apply for some reinforcements from the third brother, otherwise he really can't play Zhuge Liang.

Zhao Xing, who was far away in Crouching Tiger City, did not dare to be careless after receiving Zhang Liao's letter of help, and immediately made several personnel appointments after some discussion with everyone around him.

The army division of the Xuzhou Legion has been vacant, and this time Zhao Xing sent a fierce man to his fifth brother who was enough to resist Zhuge Liang. In addition, Zhao Xing also asked Ma Jun to take a batch of newly developed good things to Xuzhou by boat, and personally went to strengthen Zhang Liao's courage.
