After saying this, Yao Zheng blamed himself very much.

After all, that Yao Yao is her daughter, and Yao Yu's second brother Yao Xin has been a wanted criminal for several months by hiding in the mountains and forests for his daughter.

And Yao Yu's third brother Yao Fan, because of his daughter, had his legs broken and could only sit on a four-wheeled vehicle, and gradually, he developed this remote character.

Every time he thinks of this incident, Yao Zheng doesn't know how to face Yao Fan.

Yao Yu saw what Yao Zheng was thinking, so he smiled and patted Yao Zheng's shoulder: "Third uncle, this person has life and death. You don't have to be too yourself. What's more, the third brother's ability is a person who wants to achieve great things. Since ancient times, there are a few people who have not experienced setbacks. Truly, among the brothers. Whether it is Ah Bao who is sitting in Xiangyang at this time, or the second brother who is defending Yidu, I don't expect so much from the third brother to them. A leopard is a good player, but his personality is too impatient and reckless. Otherwise, I will put him in Xiangyang and switch places with Gao Kan. ”

Yao Zheng sighed when he heard this.

Yao Yu explained: "After all, Nanyang is the northern gate of Jingzhou, and now, we have to work hard to accumulate strength, which is not suitable for external expansion. In this case, it is better to put him in Xiangyang and be the second echelon. Moreover, with A Leopard in Xiangyang, if there is anything on the Jiangling side, he can also arrive faster. ”

"What about the letter?"

"Although the second brother has more than ability, his personality is not good, he is not good at handling relationships with his subordinates, such a character is not suitable for outward release. The best is to be stationed in Yidu, Nanjun, to defend Jiangling and serve as the western gate of Jingzhou. But the third brother is different, whether it is to deal with the relationship or ability, he is the most suitable to sit on one side. Of course, the premise is that he gets rid of his paranoid nature. ”

When Yao Zheng heard this, he suddenly realized that there was such a reason for his feelings.

In the end, he seemed to suddenly remember something: "Then what do you mean by arranging for your second uncle to be in Jiangxia?" ”

Since they chatted, Yao Yu also had the heart to explain to Yao Zheng, after all, his clan relatives would not betray their existence at any time.

Although Yao Zheng is responsible for all the craft matters, as a clan member who is second only to his second uncle Yao Qing, Yao Yu will still think about cultivating more.

Not to mention anything else, at any time, in any dynasty. Even in the Tang Dynasty, where the gate valve system was in decline, the clan relatives were a force to be reckoned with.

In this case, it is not wrong to train them more.

Not to mention, it is still the early stage of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties when the gate valve reached its peak. The power of clan relatives cannot be ignored.

No, Yao Yu found a map of Jingzhou, pointed to Jiang Xia and said: "First of all, the second uncle can't be the Taishou of Changsha, because the imperial court has regulations that officials can't serve in the mainland. Secondly, the location of Jiangxia can be said to be the top priority in Jingzhou. Looking at the world, Xiangyang is the first important town in Jingzhou, but for Jingzhou, Jiangxia's position is not weaker than Xiangyang. ”

Seeing that Yao Zheng had the intention of listening, Yao Yu licked his lips and continued: "First, Jiangxia is adjacent to Nanjun, and it is in the center of Runan, Lujiang, Xiangyang, Nanyang, Changsha and other counties. It can be said that if there is any situation in the Quartet, the troops of Jiangxia can support it as soon as possible. To the east, it can support the Lujiang River, to the north, it can support Runan, and to the west, it can support Xiangyang and Nanyang. If you go south, you can support Nanjun and Changsha. Here, it can be cultivated as the second most important town in Jingzhou. The status here is equivalent to the existence of a firefighting team in our entire territory. Let me ask, can I trust this important place to others? ”

Yao Zheng blinked, and he didn't know if he understood it.

Yao Yu explained carefully: "Although the second uncle's ability is not of the highest grade, it is better to get along well with people, and in addition, Brother Bao is old enough, it's time to cultivate." Therefore, putting the second uncle and the budding brother in Jiangxia reassures me that it can effectively cultivate their strength. At present, our army has a total of 128,000 people, and my plan is to arrange 10,000 elite soldiers in Lujiang, Runan, Nanyang, and Xiangyang, and 20,000 troops in the four counties of Changsha, Wuling, Guiyang, and Lingling. Yidu Xindi must have 10,000 soldiers and horses here to defend Li Xiong. Of the remaining 58,000 men, I plan to set up 30,000 naval troops, 8,000 cavalry, and the remaining 20,000 troops for use as mobile troops. ”

Yao Zheng suddenly realized, but then hesitated a little: "You can't raise an army of 68,000 in Nanjun." That's not realistic. ”

Yao Yule said: "Of course not, isn't that Jiangxia where the second uncle is still there." In Jiangxia, I plan to garrison 10,000 infantry and 10,000 sailors. It also echoes the idea of supporting the Quartet. ”

Yao Zheng nodded when he heard this, but he still felt that 48,000 soldiers in Nanjun was a bit too much.

Yao Yu smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not much." Except for the second brother, the 10,000 people couldn't move. We have at our disposal 38,000 mobile troops. Moreover, if you go out to fight, excluding those who stay in Gangneung, there will be fewer troops that can be dispatched. After all, the basic plate is too large, and soldiers are needed everywhere to guard it. Not to mention that it is still a place of four wars like Jingzhou. ”

Yao Zheng blinked his eyes and nodded as if he didn't understand: "Okay, it turns out that there are so many sayings in this, I still wonder what it is, it was enough to expand the army by 100,000, why do you have to leave so many more people." ”

Yao Yu smiled: "After all, we and the family have chosen a hostile route, if we don't send heavy troops to guard it, how can we suppress these families, in case they stab them in the back, it will be us who will be uncomfortable at that time." ”

"It's just that with so many soldiers, the pressure is too great. Just like Suo Hong said, the money was spent like running water. ”

Yao Yu laughed: "That's why I asked Sun Yi and Wang Xuance to pretend to be mountain bandits and rob the family's caravan." ”

As he spoke, Yao Yu also looked up at the moonlight in the sky: "I don't know where they are now, and how much money they have brought me." ”

···

At the same time, at the foot of Baling Mountain in Jingzhou, when Sun Yi and Wang Xuance took more than 500 troops from Yao Yu from Wuyang County, the elite veterans who followed them were ambushed at the foot of the mountain.

These soldiers are loyal and brave.

Their task was to rob the caravan of the family that had returned from the north and was secretly doing business with the Xiongnu.

Although there is chaos in the north, it is a good opportunity for the southern family.

You must know that under the continuous war, there is a serious shortage of grain in the north, whether it is Liu Yuan in Bingzhou or the imperial court in Luoyang City, the price of grain remains high, and even the price of each bucket of rice is as high as the same as gold.

This is a great business opportunity for the Maison.
