"It is absolutely impossible to suppress Xu Bowen now, he can recruit tens of thousands of troops in the land of Jiujiang, which shows that this person has won the hearts of the people, when Jiujiang Shouchun was conquered by chaos, and the people were displaced but they were still willing to settle here, at that time they should be vigilant!"

Immediately, some strategists sighed, this is a very small word, it should be in the crowd, so for a while, everyone didn't pay attention to who it was, and subconsciously wanted to ridicule a few words, what's the use of being vigilant? Can you still go to Jiujiang and press Xu Zhen to prevent him from recruiting?

Or is it spreading rumors to distract the people? People even go to the ground in person, and the method of plowing pigs and raising pigs is also personally thought of, how many old people in the territory are attracted by it, they are all highly respected people, how can they be pressed, and people have the ability to let Cai Yong's daughter scatter all their family wealth to fund, what a charm? I'm afraid that he is an all-round person, and the Cao family has added a soldier, not to mention the heart of a scholar, and even the military heart will be shaken a little by him.

But when I looked at it carefully, I found that it was the frustrated gentleman in the middle of the crowd who said this, so they kept silent and didn't interject.

Fujun belongs to the Qinghe faction's strategist clan, and he has a faint chief position, which is deeply relied on, so fortunately, he didn't open his mouth to ridicule, otherwise although Fujun will not blame him in the future, the Qinghe faction's strategists will continue to criticize and write until they are suppressed.

"What now? Now that you know the crux of the problem, how should you deal with it? This person led 60,000 troops to the north, and after he joined Cao Cao, what should he do? ”

Yuan Shao actually had a very good life in this half a year, and was rewarded by Yang Biao and other manpower owners in recognition of his pacification of the rebellion Gongsun Zhan.

Haiyan is peaceful and has no waves, which can be said to allow the people to farm in a step-by-step manner, and harvest a large amount of grain at the time of the autumn harvest.

And grain, is the most important commercial currency in the four states, so the people around the country have gradually become rich, balanced the grain reserves in various places, a large number of people give more, in the future when the strong men will be more, the curtain soldiers are even more rich, and countless villagers have responded positively, the most important thing is that the territory has been preaching the banner of anti-Cao to save the Son of Heaven, because there is Liu Bei, who is the emperor's uncle, is in Wei County, which is more convenient.

If you want to say that you are afraid of Xu Zhen's 60,000 soldiers and horses, in fact, you don't, mainly because you are worried that Sun Ce has completely joined him as a raccoon dog, if this is the case, he secretly ordered to join forces with Liu Biao to kill Sun Jian's grudge, maybe the son of the Sun family plans to take revenge at this time.

The four strategists looked at each other, but if there was any good strategy, it was really not, Xu Zhen's momentum was no longer acceptable, and it was naturally not something to say now if he really wanted to forcibly suppress it, and the result he wanted if the lord asked for advice was just to think of countermeasures.

Or to settle people's hearts in the moment.

The current situation is unstable, the army and the people are trembling, after all, Xu Zhen's reputation is very good, and the people of Jizhou are also rumored to be very good at Xu Zhen, such a person can be loyal to Cao Cao, of course, it can confuse people's hearts, and people can't help but guess whether the current situation will be just a famous rhetoric.

Therefore, the most important thing is to calm people's hearts, once this matter is allowed to continue, it will become a disaster in the future, but they all know this truth, but no one is the first to come out and say it, I don't know how to speak, if it doesn't get to the point, it will become a joke.

In the past few months, between the ministers in Jizhou, the suspicion has become more and more intense, the first to say will always be provoked, only two people will often speak upright, one is frustrated, because his identity and temperament are enough to speak, the other person is not a scholar faction Tian Feng.

Tian Feng is more special because of his special status among the strategists, he has always been against any party but always aimed at Xu You, so his status can be regarded as high and low, but he himself doesn't care about these things, like a lone wolf, he has something to say and never compromises.

Since Fang Cai has already spoken, now that the lord has asked about this matter, no one has come to answer, then it is only Tian Feng.

"Xu Zhen is not worried, why should the lord be afraid?" This Hebei celebrity, who voted for Yuan Shao under the command of Han Fu and made great contributions to him in Jizhou, did not take the prince of Shucheng who won the hearts of the people in his eyes at all, "There are only hundreds of thousands of people, and there are 40,000 more soldiers from hundreds of thousands of people, which shows that it has exhausted the well, how can it be conscripted in the future?" At least for a few years, it can't be obtained, and the matter of recruiting troops is exchanged for popular popularity, and it is not a big deal for Xu Zhen to get this popular popularity after operating for several years. ”

This is especially reasonable when he said this, and the rest of the people couldn't stop nodding, obviously they also thought of Xu Zhen's act of killing chickens and taking eggs, which belonged to pulling out seedlings to help grow, and there would definitely be hidden dangers in the future, that is, it would lead to a decrease in the number of males in the territory, and it would take more than ten years to restore prosperity.

Recruit 40,000 soldiers and horses in one go, or even more, that is, in order to be able to face the northern frontier in the future, which also shows that Cao Cao knew that his troops were insufficient, so he had to do it as a last resort.

There are also many people who echoed it, and at the same time, those advisers have a good relationship with Tian Feng recently, and they have a wide range of contacts, and when they speak at this time, no one really stands up to refute him, and most of them are nodding and applauding.

"So don't worry, as for how Jiangdong dares to really fully support Xu Zhen!? Our army should be self-reliant and unshaken, so why should such a soldier be afraid of his Xu Zhen's 60,000 recruits. ”

"The lord just needs to communicate with Jiangdong again, as for Sun Ce, he must also have great ambitions, and it is impossible to sit back and watch Xu Zhen sit big."

"Then, what should Yuan Hao mean?"

Yuan Shao asked with humble eyes, if you want to say this, it's okay, now that my mind has settled down, how can I do it so that the army doesn't care about this matter, and how to let the people fight outside the gate.

"In this battle, there are several ways to win, it is not necessary to only focus on troops, if Cao Cao's army goes north, the rear must be empty, and Sun Ce or Liu Biao can make contributions, this is their only opportunity, how can they not seize it?"

This sentence is the key, "In this way, Sun Ce may have confused Xu Zhen before he could trade with him and let him leave boldly and with confidence?" ”

"Yes, if Sun's sons want to make meritorious contributions, they can only find this opportunity, seize Hefei and even directly smuggle Xu Du to assassinate the Son of Heaven, so that they can enter the Central Plains, otherwise Huainan and Jingzhou are in front of his house, and he is really willing to be in Jiangdong for the rest of his life, even if he is made into an iron plate, he will become a turtle with a shrunken head in the future."

"Eh, I agree with this sentence!" Tian Feng's words did not arouse the admiration of other strategists, but instead let Xu Yu come out of the crowd, and after saluting with both hands, he continued to act arrogantly, standing with his hands behind his back, and scanning everyone with his eyes above the top, "This Sun Ce must have a strategy." ”

Or he is willing to use this to test Xu Zhen's mind, as far as I know, although Xu Zhen has a great reputation and has a lot of achievements in leading troops, but he has never fought with Sun Ce, don't forget that Sun Ce has also been known as the courage of the family in recent years, the little overlord of Jiangdong, the heroic spirit covers the thieves in Jiangdong, and there are not many civil and military subordinates who have gathered here, hehe! I expect that he will definitely not give up, and there is no real love in this troubled world, which is all a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits. ”

Although Sun Ce has inherited a lot of affection from Xu Zhen, but one yard is one yard, he will not be soft when it comes to conquering the city, this time Xu Zhen is young, maybe Xu Zhen is a character, but after all, he is a stupid and loyal person, I believe that he has given Jiangdong so much affection Sun Ce will not take advantage of the void, but he just fell into his trap! Sun Ce showed weakness and pleased, so Xu Zhen was relieved and boldly left Jiujiang. ”

"Haha! The lord is waiting to see, there will inevitably be a big war in Hefei! ”

"The information I received, Xu Zhen didn't leave a single famous army! It's the generals who are left! It's all deputies! How can a few thousand people resist the attack of this Jiangdong overlord? ”

"Uh-huh!" Yuan Shaoshen thought so, "I also received this news." ”

Of course he thinks so, Xu Yuzhi's words just hit the point, so he was very happy, "Well said, well said, Ziyuan, worthy of being the person who knows me best, but also my confidant, in this way, Xu Zhen is really immature and naïve, far less cunning than Cao Mengde, people don't suffer from fame, what I'm afraid of is that he has no weakness, but he values affection and righteousness, which is weakness, this time I'm afraid Sun Ce will have the upper hand!" ”

"Okay, let's just continue to look for armaments, wait for the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and then go to play him Cao Mengde!"

"Hahaha!"

The hall finally laughed easily, Xu You laughed the most happily, and even smiled at Tian Feng all the time, as if he was secretly showing off something, as if whispering in his ear, what if your brother spoke first? I can also please your words, and I can talk more deeply and penetrately.

Of course, Tian Feng's attitude towards this is not good, but this is not the first time he has done this, he has never been with Xu You, but on the basis of key suggestions, he will definitely refute it, after all, the two have completely different concepts.

This smile, basically the people of Jizhou don't take Xu Zhen seriously, and then hand it over to the officials in various places to stop spreading it at this time, so that the military and civilians will no longer pay attention to Xu Zhen's northward trip.

At the same time, wait for the battle report to come.

……

Xu Du.

Xu Zhen returned to the long-lost Imperial City Mansion, the furnishings inside have basically not changed, there are a lot more furniture, the flower beds and courtyards have been taken care of, and the money in exchange for the production of fiefdoms and fertile fields has also been hoarded here.

Cao Cao personally sent Cao Chun to meet Xu Zhen, from the main trunk of the Chi Road in ten miles, welcomed Xu Zhen back, and saw Xu Zhen's mighty soldiers and horses on the way all of them were resolute eyes and upright faces, and sighed that this army was not like all in the south, like a bloody battle from the reckless pass in the north, and he was full of emotion.

Especially when looking at the armament again, it is all held by Qi Qi sword and shield, although it is not exquisite, but it is much cleaner than the ordinary system, of course, this is still what Cao Chun thinks when he can't see the power now, and when he sees the real impact of the sword and shield battalion and the personal quality of the soldiers, he may be even more surprised.

The purpose of joining forces in one place is to practice, and when he sends troops to fight in the future, it is convenient for Cao Cao to arrange.

Cao Chun said a few words, and immediately welcomed Xu Zhen to the prime minister's mansion, at this time Cao Cao had not rested much for two days and one night, and now he was going to sleep at sunset, and he would go after Xu Zhen came to discuss.

I haven't seen him for so long, of course, I want to take a look at Xu Zhen, at least say a few words of comfort, or congratulate him on his achievements in the past few months, in short, Cao Cao has a lot of things to say to Xu Zhen, but when Xu Zhen stood in front of him, a thousand words converged into one sentence, "Are you back?" ”

"I've seen the lord."

"Well," Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and now looking at Xu Zhen, his beard was a little thick, "It's well taken care of, and there is a beautiful lady who is making noodles for you, right?" ”

"The beard is very decently cultivated, there is a calm talent, and the style of a general, this expedition to Bowen should also shine."

"I'm still following for the military division, each of the soldiers and horses led by the general is under the command of the general, and then I only need to give an order, I will follow the initiative for the military division, and I will not charge into battle."

Xu Zhen said it lightly, but Cao Cao listened to it with a little anger, and all the words that Fang Cai thought in his heart were eliminated, his face showed a slight disgust, and he glanced at Xu Zhen and said: "At this time, there is no need to back down, you should not give in, what is there to avoid, I really said it together, and I will personally teach you to avoid it when I take Jizhou, in front of me, what do you pretend, who dares to say that you are not half a sentence now, are you still afraid that I will say it in person?" ”

"Jizhou is not destroyed, it's useless to talk about this, if you can get Jizhou, it's the time when the bird can hide a little bow, you are pretending to be so calm in front of me now, isn't this deliberately angry with me? No one will be staring at you in the school now, I have already given the order. ”

"That's it, fuck off!"

Cao Cao shook his hand irritably, this person was even more angry after seeing him, it was better not to see him.

"Yu Ban understands water warfare, so I let him go south out of Yanzhou."

Cao Cao said coldly.

Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and there was some warmth in his heart, and he turned around and continued to salute: "I really don't want to lead the troops to fight, take the merits of southern Hebei and Hebei, and since the military merits reach the hearts of the people, I will definitely give them all to Ziyu." ”

Cao Cao sighed, and he didn't know whether he was relieved or more worried, but in the end, he also said leisurely: "It's my business, this is the friendship between the two of you, each has its own opinion." ”

"That's that, that's."

Xu Zhen smacked these words, it was quite tasteful, in addition to seeking truth from women, Wei Wu's legacy is actually very pragmatic about things, romantic feelings, and do what you want to do, so the number of madmen who have inherited the style of Jian'an will continue to increase, and there will also be Ji Kang and other ways of old Zhuang in the future, unkempt but dissolute people, seeking truth and living in the world, is also another taste.

"They say you're not scheming enough and too gullible about it, but I don't think that's the case, what do you say?" Cao Cao leaned in slightly to see Xu Zhen's face, but in fact, there was still a distance between the two, ten steps apart.

Xu Zhen looked down at the wooden floor and said with a smile: "I must bring 60,000 people here, otherwise I won't be able to stir up the entire Central Plains, but if you say that you are gullible, it is also right, I don't believe that Sun Ce is good friends with me, I just believe that the soldiers under my command can hold Jiujiang." ”

"That's okay, go find Guo Jia, he's been waiting for you for too long!" Cao Cao waved his hand, and tonight he obviously didn't plan to let Xu Zhen rest willfully as before.
