Chapter 173: As soon as Jiujiang moves, all the princes know!
"We must truly belong to Xu Bowen! The last time he said, what would I do if it was fulfilled? Xu Gong had sweat on his forehead when he said this, and his eyes were stunned to look at the cultivation year in front of him.
In fact, in my heart, I just want him to say it again, maybe he won't pay the family property.
As a result, Xiu Nian was a real person, and he honestly repeated Xu Zhen's words again, which made the beads of sweat on Xu Gong's forehead even more, but he nodded vigorously and said, "It should be, it should be."
He is already an unknown prophet, can he pinch the meeting, shouldn't he fight, he can't fight with anyone, he can't fight with these demons, otherwise he won't be able to find anyone to save him if he gets a plague one day.
"Sun Ce's front foot beheaded the immortal master, and I sold all the family property on the back foot, and then used all my favors to secretly lie dormant in Jiangdong for the prince and marquis, and make him a secret chess game of winning and losing."
Tuk tuk.
This was said loudly, and it sounded very rhythmically on the case, but Xiu Nian in front of him was at a loss, and thought carefully about whether he could really hear this.
And this kind of thing, it's better not to say it casually, after all, although you are confidants around you, you don't know if it will be like this after the passage of time, and it is easy to get into trouble if you hear too much.
Xiu Nian has matured a lot since he ate a night of big-eared posts at Xu Zhen's last time, and he has learned to think ahead and backward when doing things, so as not to get into trouble for himself.
"Du Lieutenant's words, don't mention it again, it's good to have this thought, you don't need to let us know, we will follow with peace of mind."
"Hmm...... It also makes sense. ”
Xu Gong's anticipation did not wait long, and after he said these words to his subordinates, Sun Ce ordered Yu Ji to be beheaded, and the local people and scholars were greatly shaken, and even wanted to collect his body and bury it.
And the soldiers in the army and the people of the scholar clan all sighed, and even Wu Guotai blamed him for being too arrogant and impulsive, killing such an immortal master who was treating and saving people.
This side made a move, Xu Gong sold his family property on the same day, and secretly gave it to Xu Zhen's caravan, leaving only a few of his own mansions, which looked relatively glamorous on the outside, but inside it was already an empty shell.
Naturally, Sun Ce didn't know these things, but many people related to Xu Gong secretly sent letters to Jiujiang, and gradually got in touch with Xu Zhen in the form of extremely obscure oral messages, and threw the intention of surrendering, of course, it was impossible to get an immediate response at this time, and Xu Zhen would not immediately promise their future.
But the good news is that Xu Gong actually has a lot of connections, just individual guests sent more than 30 letters to Xu Zhen, many of which are quite capable of civil governance, and after Sun Ce killed Yu Ji, the elders of the Lu family took the child Lu Xun and returned to live in Lujiang, and came to visit Xu Zhen with a stick of incense, Xu Zhen touched Lu Xun's head, warned him to play less with fire, and also established a good relationship, I am afraid that the Lu family will also do their best to support Xu Zhen in the future.
As a result, some of the scholars in Jiangdong have begun to abandon their arrogance and lean towards this prince of Shucheng, who started from Bai Ding.
Seven days later, the matter of making knives has almost been completed, Xu Zhen stood on the platform of the barracks, looking at the soldiers on the school field holding swords and shields, Gao Shun naturally still did not talk to him, just buried his head in training the sergeants, the obstacle track outside the school field was set up by Xu Zhen himself, a total of 500 meters, but there were too many twists and turns, even Gao Shun ran a circle, and his legs and feet were weak in the prostrate and triple climb over the high wall, but now all the sergeants of the sword and shield battalion can run when a quarter of the incense is burned.
Xu Zhen's expectations have been completed, everyone's physical strength is quite long, and the posture is tall and brave, after Gao Shun's will fell into the army, all of them are not afraid of death, just waiting to go to the battlefield to make a name.
On the platform, Xu Zhen glanced at the soldiers with the same face and did not smile, and finally a long-lost and familiar voice sounded in his ears.
[You have completed the completion of the Sword and Shield Battalion, progress: 100%]
[Gain Self-Discipline +6000]
[Gain Commander +1]
[Command: 92]
[The majestic posture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the charm is +1]
[Charm: 98]
[Currently completed: 1/3]
"And two barracks."
Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and looked forward to the reward this time, even if it was not to send a single ability to a hundred, but also to give a golden shining characteristic, no one could say what the outcome of the battle of Northern Xinjiang would be, although the great history knew that Cao Cao had won, but victory was victory, and everyone knew how many people died in the process.
If it happens that the person who is unlucky is himself, wouldn't he let the wife of the family be widowed, of course Xu Zhen will not do such things, the more fetters in the family, the more he can't die, when the general trend is ready, he also has to make complete preparations, and the real best opportunity before the war is this.
If the crossbow is not successful, then let Huang Zhong find a way to practice archery, so that the cavalry and archery can go to the next level, and these elite archers can also shine in the future, and now it seems that they are just waiting for the arrival of the autumn harvest.
In the blink of an eye, under the intensification of training sergeants, Jiujiang recruited more recruits, and the soldiers on the Jingzhou side wrote some sour articles to denounce Xu Zhen's purchase and sale of Cai Yan's property, and said that he had accepted an old horse, broken the rules, and had a bad relationship with Jingzhou.
After some rhetoric, Xu Zhen's reputation among the scholars in Jingzhou was even worse, in addition to being a hungry ghost in the sex, he also had the reputation of being stupid and having a lot of money, and what he said was good was to be kind and charitable.
But in the article condemning and ridiculing, it is said that "Xu is kind and charitable", this is Ming Huanghuang's scolding, Xu Zhen originally planned to find someone to return the favor, but when he saw that this sentence came out of Huang Chengyan's mouth, he stared at Zhuge Liang all night that night, and he was furious.
In the end, I endured.
Of course, the so-called old horse should be Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong was melancholy in the barracks for a long time after seeing it, and it was not until a few days later that he heard his relieved laughter.
Many generals spent a month or two in their own busyness, and when it came to the autumn harvest, they were even busier.
Even Xu Zhen has no time to accompany his family at home, and he can only go to a one-person house every day, but fortunately, Erqiao is one person, and he is reluctant to live separately after a long sisterhood.
So Xu Zhen lived in physical strength, qi and blood, and knowledge.
Within every seven days, you can rest for one day, and repeat the calculation.
Later, when Cao Jie came, he would make up for this time, which was still recorded in the books of the Spring and Autumn Period, called the blessing of Qi people.
Xu Zhen just enjoyed the blessings of Qi people for a short time.
In this way, after the late autumn, Cao Ang led the tiger and leopard cavalry to lead the armament back to Xudu, and Xu Zhen's soldiers and horses were still behind, which should have come out around October to arrange all the things in Jiujiang.
Discussing which general to leave to guard the land of Hefei, in fact, Xu Zhen already had a candidate in his heart, and he still summoned many close ministers and henchmen to say a few times, mainly to calm Dian Wei's heart.
Otherwise, this fierce man in Wancheng who blocked hundreds of people by himself, and he couldn't understand why he coincidentally left a general to guard such an important Hefei, which was where Xu Zhen's family background was.
Including the fiefdom of Lujiang, as well as the mansions in several cities, the most important thing is that the people in this territory are safe! If these people are gone, these few realms and the hard work of more than a year will all be gone!
"I'll ride with my armor myself."
Xu Zhen said this, so that many generals were silent, he personally led, which means that he will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions, and not to mention the unknown victory or defeat of meritorious service, even if the casualties of the soldiers led by Xu Zhen are smaller, of course it is worth being happy, it is estimated that the soldiers of the armored cavalry battalion who know the news tonight will jump up with joy.
"Wen Yuan went together to drive me as a pioneer, leaving Wen Yuan's old generals to guard Hefei, and Zi Yu and my recruits of 13,000 people to guard Shouchun."
"Wen Yuan's eight hundred horsemen, plus one deputy in each of your troops, Qi Yu and Min Yue were the first to follow me, and even when I was a school official, these two were still my commanders."
Xu Zhen's words undoubtedly raised the momentum of the two people who are still deputy generals to the highest, of course, this is also a fact that few people in the army know today.
At that time, Xu Zhen was from the southeast small school camp of these two people, and there were only more than 800 people in the camp at that time, and it was Cao Ren who finally added 2,000 Chen soldiers to Xu Zhen, and it was only after several years of conquest that it reached today's scale.
Speaking of which, the qualifications of the two of them are indeed a little frightening, and now if the recruits of Xu Ying know about it, they will probably be in awe, as if they are close to demons, and the prince who ascended the name of divine shooting on the 21st was still their subordinates before?!
In this way, Qi Yu and Min Yue never said about it, this character is very low-key, and it is not an exaggeration to even say that it is noble, a young scholar of the scholar clan, or a general who is a villain in a cold family, this must not be written into the family tree? !
"Then it's decided," Xu Zhen saw that they didn't speak, so he also made up his mind, and in the end, Dian Wei couldn't help but speak, and said in front of Zhang Liao, "It's really ...... The 1,800 horsemen handed over to Zhang Liao? ”
"Guarding the ferry outside Hefei, if the people from Jiangdong are directly extradited in, Hefei is estimated to be lost in one night, and I really can't go down to the south of the Yangtze River to defend against the enemy one day and night."
Zhang Liao was not angry, after listening to Dian Wei's words at this moment, he knew that it was not so easy for the general to reassure people, and the most important thing was that after pacifying Wenhou, there would be no more war.
It was because he didn't have a chance to fight side by side together, and of course they didn't have much chance to tell each other what they were saying, the two had never known each other much, but at this moment he got up and said to Dian Wei: "In this meritorious service, 1,800 people can't turn the storm and waves. ”
"Otherwise, General Dian Wei will leave 2,000 people to guard the ferry, and Wen Yuan will take the headquarters to follow the prince and the marquis north, and if you don't have more soldiers and horses, you will have 1,08 troops and horses."
"The rest of the armament can also be returned, as long as the Xiliang ring sword at that time, and the wooden and iron spear."
Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, knowing that what he said just now was a little hurtful, but he didn't want to apologize on the spot, mainly because there was only one person in the entire military camp who could make him apologize immediately.
It was with an atmosphere that he waved his hand and said: "It's not necessary, I just have this worry, today I will be a little relieved with your Wenyuan's words, I hope that these 1,800 brothers can guard the backyard gate for the prince and marquis, so that they will not die in the fire." ”
"It will be so!"
Zhang Liao faced Xu Zhen and said: "I have set up a military order for the 1,000 and eight brothers under my command, if they are lost, behead me Zhang Wenyuan to suppress the military might!" ”
"Stand, slash?!"
Xu Zhen glared at Dian Wei, one sentence made such a big fuss, it depends on how you end, if nothing really happens in the future, people have made great contributions in southern Hebei, how much wine do you have to drink to eliminate today's mustard, but in fact, there are still some moved people in my heart, there are many people in the hall who can worry about this, but they are really outspoken and not afraid to speak out and help Xu Zhen offend people.
Dian Wei is definitely the first.
"Surely it will stand! This is not to gamble," Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, his face was still very open, and his temperament did not appear, "This is to calm the army's heart." ”
"If it weren't for that, how could the army be relieved to pull out."
"Okay, then stand!"
Xu Zhen glanced at Zhuge Liang, and then looked at Zhang Liao, his face was a little more approving, "I believe in this Thousand Eight Cavalry brothers." ”
"Thank you, Marquis!"
Zhang Liao got up and immediately hugged his fist at Xu Zhen.
……
Three days later, the army set out from Jiujiang Shouchun, out of Xuzhou, and entered Chenliu.
It is expected that the march will be carried out in seven days, and the trade roads along the way are full of celebrations, and many merchants are not afraid of being robbed of grain, and everyone in the peasant households near the fields on the Qianmo road is watching, wanting to see what kind of demeanor this legendary prince is.
Almost in the crowd of thousands of people in the alley to watch and send the army, the transport of grain and grass first, every time there are more people, there are even villagers to send home "food" rewards, mostly scones and meat porridge, those soldiers who were originally surrendered to the army saw a burst of hot eyes.
You must know that they have never enjoyed this kind of treatment, even if the march is not a war, just a little relocation of soldiers and horses, no one will come to see each other on the road, the people along the way are avoided, for fear of harming the pond fish, if the general is targeted to ask for the family's grain confiscation and levy grain, all the hidden food for several years is given in vain.
At that time, he regarded the army as a life-saving straw on the one hand, and on the other hand, he regarded them as terrible things as beasts in the mountains, and he also loved and hated them in his heart.
As soon as Jiujiang's army moved, the huge prestige had already spread, and even Xiliang had spies to report, but the order was different.
Originally, a small Huainan couldn't set off any storms, but when I heard that it was the time when the 60,000 army was deployed, how not to be shocked, Xu Zhen only took more than 10,000 people down the Lujiang River.
In addition to getting a lot of troops from Lu Bu, how did he manage to conjure up so many soldiers and horses in one year? Even if Cao Ang's soldiers are added, a little less, it is 40,000 more!
He not only had to solve the problem of food, but also armaments, war horses, etc., and all the materials used to raise soldiers were turned into a word, that is, money.
How could Xu Zhen invest 60,000 troops?! So there was a lot of speculation, some people said that Cao Cao was secretly funding, Mingli was stationed in Xudu, and he was secretly transferring all the money to his eldest son Cao Ang; Some people also say that Jiangdong funded it, and the entire Jiangdong has secretly funded Xu Zhen and reached some kind of agreement; It is also rumored that Cai Yan scattered all his family wealth for him, and after the books were sold, he got 100,000 gold to fund the army.
The news was varied, and when it reached Jizhou, it had already shocked all the strategists in the entire territory, and even Yuan Shao was shocked by this, and he deliberately waited for three days and three nights without sleep, just to see all the news from Huainan for the first time.
He had to figure out one thing, whether Jiangdong Sun Ce was really completely in the same breath as Xu Zhen!
If this is really the case, then it is necessary to re-estimate Cao Cao's troops, and then spend a lot of money to win over people from other places, Henan and Hebei will be in this battle! Whoever wins can occupy the Yellow River, which has nearly millions of grain harvests every year, as well as nearly 10 million people.
How can there be the slightest mistake?
"Cao Mengde is really capable, such a character can be accepted as a son-in-law, and Jiangdong is set for him! I'm a little slower! Eh! Yuan Shao patted the letter on the table, I don't know whether he was annoyed or angry, his face was very complicated.
When this news came, he really began to value the name Xu Zhen.
This person may not be simple, and he is by no means like the kind of wine bag and rice bag that others say, and the fame of these years will not be obtained by the Cao family.
