Where does a normal Confucian student have so much strength!

Tian Chou also learned swordsmanship since he was a child, and he was really good at fencing and fighting with people when he was young, but as he grew older, he also lost his courage and ruthlessness.

I began to study military books and read the policy theory of internal affairs.

gradually became knowledgeable, but because he had been staying in the side, there were not many Confucians around him, and he was sinister and treacherous, and he was recruited as a military advisor.

There are not many teachers and friends around who can talk to each other, occasionally there are one or two, and they often move around, and they haven't seen each other for several years.

All the knowledge is naturally pondered by oneself, and only then do I know the importance of the marching map.

In the border area, the road is difficult to travel, the landmarks are not visible, the slightest carelessness will cause the road to be lost, the difficulty of marching will be intensified, and if there is a shortage of food and grass, it will even often cause mutiny.

But if there is a trail to enter, it is very different.

Raids are not the same as head-to-head battles, of course.

The slap just now was blinded by Xu Zhen.

Tian Chou began to think about his talent, he has been fencing since he was a child, so some swordsmanship, his strength is greater than that of ordinary people, if he deals with three or four mountain bandits, there is no problem.

Later, he studied literature, achieved a little success, and knew how to think about the world.

Later, he talked with the people, corresponded with the scholars, and dealt with the envoys of the Yuan clan many times, and learned how to avoid words, that is, eloquence.

Only then did he develop a good thought, and his eloquence was no less than that of people in the same realm, and then he had to maintain his heart, not envy Rongli, and keep his mind, and he achieved something for decades.

So, how did this rider manage to lead the troops to be invincible, as powerful as a car crash, well-versed in internal affairs, still and clear in character, and at the same time intelligent and agile and different from ordinary people?

It's not a gift from God, how can it make sense.

He is self-cultivation, martial arts, and mental cultivation in one, and at the same time has the name of "lustful", a person, in his early thirties, can already have such a long body.

I'm afraid that if it wasn't for the mother's womb, I had already begun to learn in many ways.

It's a real demon too.

Tian Chou exclaimed in his heart.

Peeked at Xu Zhen, who was deep in thought.

He now wanted to know what a quick-witted person like Xu Zhen was thinking about when he was so contemplative in his head......

"How can you deceive Dian Wei and them to go to the border in the future......"

Xu Zhen already had a plan in his heart at this moment, and at the same time understood that it was impossible to lead the troops to guard the border fortress, and the soldiers and horses of the border fortress could only let the local villagers join the army.

If you are on the border, the sergeants under your command may be dissatisfied, unless Xu Zhen can govern the border fortress to be more prosperous than the Central Plains, but this will take more than ten years, and it will not be achieved immediately.

Therefore, if you want your own elite to go out to the side and are interested, it is not as simple as giving an order.

Of course, after the order was given, the sergeants would never disobey it, they had long been loyal to Xu Zhen and put life and death out of the way.

But the morale of the military is also to find a way to settle, and it has to start from internal affairs.

It is necessary to build Youbeiping prosperous first, and then accept the people and encourage childbearing, and the more the population, the more people will be.

It's nothing more than a matter of food and clothing.

If there is enough food, warm clothing, easy access to materials, and money and food, the people will naturally be willing to move, and there will be many rootless people who have not yet lived in various parts of the country.

In addition, there are a lot of slaves from the Shi clan, and if you want to attract people, you have to rely on the "Shi clan", Xu Zhen thought of this and touched his chin.

"Thank you, sir."

"The rider laughed, but he just had a word, and he still wanted to admonish the rider."

Tian Chou sighed, "Gongsun Clan, it has a great reputation in Liaodong over the years, and it has won the hearts of the people. ”

"Even if Liaodong is broken, if it is not properly governed, there will be disasters in the future, and from Jizhou to Liaodong, if you take the waterway, you will have to cross the ten-day river."

The horse is a sea.

Xu Zhen smacked his mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Tian Chou is afraid that he said it mildly, of course he can go by sea.

"To take the sea route, you have to have an engine to be fast enough, otherwise you can only trade by building and ship, and go slowly, once a month, stay for seven days at a time," Xu Zhen sighed and muttered to himself.

Otherwise, the cost of manpower is not small, and the waterway can only be established after conquering Liaodong.

"What chicken?"

Tian Chou blinked, not understanding what he meant.

"Nothing, just say it."

"Oh, I think that Liaodong cannot be attacked in a short period of time, so it is better to let the two generations of Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang continue to resist to operate the border fortress."

Tian Chou arched his hand and said: "Che Qi also said that their father and son are loyal to the Han family, and although they are fiefdoms, they pay tribute every year, if they change the person who inherits the great cause, it is not too late to suppress it." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhen smiled, shook his head bitterly and said: "Liaodong is uneasy for a day, and the prime minister will not dare to let me live in Hebei and live in peace." ”

"My son is almost a year old, but he has only been able to do so for more than ten days."

"What do you think, sir?"

Xu Zhen knew Cao Cao too well.

This Liaodong didn't make him feel stable in his heart for a day, like a fish in his throat, Xu Zhen really couldn't live in peace for a day.

Other people came to guard it, but Cao Cao couldn't believe it.

If you ignore it, and you are afraid that your grandson will grow too strong in the future, and there are a few people in the family who are ambitious and talented, if there is no deterrence nearby, you will definitely be self-reliant.

It is only necessary to put a letter of Black Mountain, Yushui, and Yakniu River, and it is very difficult for soldiers and horses to attack head-on.

Moreover, the generals of the Cao family will not come to guard, they want to go south to get merit, among all the generals, only Xu Zhenlai, who has sealed the chariot and ridden.

Not to mention the coercion of the edict, even if Cao Cao personally came to the door to sprinkle, he had to let Xu Zhen defend it, so the way to do it once and for all was to defeat the Gongsun family, and then let the Cao family take the land of Liaodong, or take it himself, and cultivate this large piece of land.

As long as it is down, properly cultivated, and the population migrates sufficiently, it is hard to imagine how much the annual grain tribute will skyrocket, and it is also a gratifying situation.

In this way, whether it is to capture or internal affairs, or to relocate the people to garrison the border fortress, these things can be carried out all year round.

When a person reaches this position, he should continue to improve.

Xu Zhen seems to see a huge amount of self-discipline points and countless rewards waiting for him, and developing here is not only to settle the people, but also to give himself more ways out, and it is not a human ability.

Maybe not a bad thing.

Tian Chou fell silent and said, "This, I don't dare to say anything in the future." ”

"The main thing is that I always feel that rebellion in the future is a matter of the future, and now Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang have no heart to rebel for the time being."

"If you raid the land and defeat its army, it is not difficult for the chariots and horsemen, but how can you calm the local people?"

To tell the truth, Gongsun Du has sheltered the displaced people in these years, distributed grain, cultivated and hoarded grain, and resisted the invasion of Goguryeo, Fuyu and Wuhuan tribes.

At least half a million lives have been saved.

Xu Zhen sighed and said with a solemn face: "It depends on how his grandson Du behaves after the beginning of spring." ”

Tian Chou arched his hand and sighed: "However, I also know the heart of the rider, and I only do what I do, pay attention to the map of Liaodong for the rider, and send it into the hands of the rider and the prime minister." ”

"Well, thank you."

Xu Zhen said a little calmly.

……

Winter is over.

The winter in Youzhou is extremely cold, the ice and snow are thick and the mountains are paved, the people who go out to play are almost gone, the mountains and forests are inaccessible, and the birds are pure.

Occasionally, there are traces of animals with thick fur, but there is still a desert between heaven and earth.

Xu Zhen was roasting in the government office this winter, and before the heavy snowfall, he took his family to Zhuo County to celebrate the New Year, and the garrison was also scattered in Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou.

Zhang Liao, the main division of troops in Jizhou, led the army to garrison, Jizhou was still suppressed by Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, and Youzhou was led by Xu Zhen and Dian Wei, of course, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun also followed in the army.

There are many other heroes and fierce generals at all levels, and there are many in each army.

Xu Zhen now has an army of 240,000 troops, distributed to various places, and also has the right to recruit troops, and within a year, tens of thousands of troops were recruited, so that the source of troops in the land of Sanzhou was almost exhausted.

After waiting for a few years, the people were stable and there was a source of soldiers.

Now it has almost 300,000 troops.

Xu Zhen's ride has long been worthy of its name.

Fortunately, Jizhou cultivates fertile soil and raises soldiers without worry.

Some people say that Xu Zhen is powerful, strong soldiers and horses, and will become a big disaster in the future, maybe in many years, he can become a great prince who is in a certain place in the west and protects the wall of the country.

If you want a hereditary succession, I'm afraid it's very difficult.

And was deeply feared by the Central Plains.

Some people also say that Xu Zhen looks down on power, and is dedicated to the people of the world, and the Central Plains is stable, so he will withdraw his official position and hide in the mountains and forests.

Some people also believe that he is too close to Cao Cao, like father and son, and will retreat behind the scenes with Cao Cao and entrust power to the next generation.

There are different opinions, and they can't stop the mouths of the people, such as today's princes, ministers and the common people are all laughing at it and taking it as a talking point.

In this year, the Chi Road and the main road were established in Youzhou, and the people who moved to the north were strongly advocated, and Xu Zhen, who was deeply involved in internal affairs in Youzhou, and was admired by Liaodong.

He has done what he dreamed of ten years ago.

Smell reached the princes.

He is now known all over the world.

The power is monstrous.

People who are good friends with Xu Zhen can be called "Bowen" at will, but the rest of the people who were familiar with each other at the beginning but ruthlessly communicated with each other, and those who were peers back then but are not what they used to be, all have a strange look on their faces and call for a ride.

Perhaps because there were many rumors, coupled with the passage of Liaodong, the Gongsun clan inquired about Xu Zhen and Cao Chun, the two close neighbors of the garrison, in more detail.

knows that the various achievements of the two over the years have been evaluated.

Xu Zhen aside.

The tiger and leopard cavalry commander Cao Chun, the main general who chased and killed Yuan Shu for 800 miles to Shouchun, was him, famous in Jiangnan in the first war, and now he is the general of Wei.

This person's record shocked the enemy as well.

What's more, there is also a Xu Zhen and a Dian Wei on his side.

Therefore, after the beginning of spring, Gongsun Du did deploy heavy troops, but not on the main road, but deployed 10,000 Liaodong soldiers along the Xiaoling River.

It is the caravans along the way that are protected, and it is the Wuhuan foreign tribes in Liucheng that are guarded against.

……

At the end of February, Zhuo County, Zhuo County.

At the family banquet of the Liu clan, they invited Xu Zhen to the family's ancestral house to set up a banquet to entertain them, ate and drank a lot at the banquet, and generously gave Xu Zhen all kinds of books.

even secretly sent more than 900 slaves in the family to Xu Zhen's name, and Xu Zhen could be raised as a dead soldier at will, which is also a great affection for the family.

But they repaid Xu Zhen's kindness in a clear way.

Just because, when Xu Zhen first arrived in Zhuo County to live in the re-expanded government office, he sent someone to inform the Liu family that he had received Liu Bei's kindness and knew that this was his hometown, and immediately recommended several people who were now quite prestigious in the local area of the Liu family as township officials.

And he gave a lot of food rewards.

It was like Liu Bei returning to his hometown, so he had the intention of repaying the favor, and he couldn't contact Ah Bei in the south, so the Liu clan was grateful to Xu Zhen and couldn't support him.

came to ask day and night, recommended those who were officials to implement self-discipline, never the slightest bit of greed for ink, and at the same time praised Xu Zhen's high style and bright festival, so that his fame rose again among the scholars in Youzhou.

After all, the Liu family of Zhuojun is also after King Jing of Zhongshan, and there is now an imperial uncle who is a prince outside, so they should have hidden.

Xu Zhen came and thought he was going to liquidate, but he didn't expect that it was a person with old favors, plus Xu Du Tianzi and Weide were outside, and the Cao family had never had a real basis to say that people usurped Han and stood on their own.

What kind of ghost clothes and edicts in the past just laughed and passed!

It's better to return to the command of the Son of Heaven!

Therefore, Xu Zhen basically ate and drank here in the Liu family this year, anyway, he has always refused, but people have to invite.

Of course, Liu doesn't think that Xu Zhen is rubbing, riding a dignified car, and ten thousand princes need to come to eat? !

Impossible, he can come to the whole clan to shine!

Every time he came here, Liu Bei, Liu Yi, Liu Zijing, who was known as his uncle, and Liu Yuanqi, the two elders of the clan, were all happy.

After the banquet, the people of the clan sent Xu Zhen out of the house and to the carriage.

Dian Wei, who was full of wine and food, leaned in front of the carriage as a coachman, and returned to the city office comfortably.

"Oh, it's a very good day."

Dian Wei sighed with emotion, then took out a military letter from his arms, handed it to Xu Zhen, and said with a smile: "Liucheng, there is really movement." ”

"This time, it's thanks to Gongsun Du."

Dian Wei said in a deep voice.

Xu Zhen was slightly surprised, because he hadn't drunk, so he was refreshed and had clear thoughts, and suddenly the corners of his mouth rose and smiled, "So, he has already figured it out." ”

As he spoke, he opened the letter, and when he saw what was said in the intelligence, his expression suddenly became solemn, "Wuhuan intends to plunder the merchant horses that have entered Liaodong, and he ......"

If this chaos is not eliminated, it must be guarded against day and night.

This time, it was Gongsun Du who had 10,000 fierce soldiers stationed in Xiaoling River, so when the Wuhuan cavalry sent troops to plunder, he immediately captured its part.

Later, when they crossed the river and fled, they suddenly attacked the army that was crossing the river, so that Wuhuan could not fight back and suffered heavy losses.

However, this battle still could not hurt the root, but it made the merchant horses and the people see the determination of Liaodong to protect this road, so that there will be commercial vehicles to pass in the future, and they will go more steadily.

But it would be better if the Wuhuan Rebellion could be resolved and expelled from Liucheng.

"I heard that the people rejoiced."

"The peace of the army that has not been seen in decades."

Xu Zhen laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Dian Wei's shoulder, and said loudly: "I'm even happier that we can go back to Jizhou with confidence." ”

"This year's winter march will definitely break Liucheng!"

"Ha," Dian Wei immediately smiled, "Then we will expand our armaments this year, and when I behead that Shan Yu, I will use it as a wine jug for the chariot!" ”

", I don't want it."

Xu Zhen's face suddenly turned cold, and he already felt nauseous.

I don't think it's bloody at all.

The carriage headed towards the government office, swaying and leisurely.

With the beginning of spring, it seems that all problems have been solved.

……

Xu Du, Prime Minister's Mansion.

After the beginning of spring, information reports from all over the country began to be submitted to the Prime Minister's Office.

Most of the northern regions used Jizhou paper and decorated with brocade cloth, while the southern and central prefectures still used the previous books.

So on the case of the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two kinds of books are separated and placed, and it is clear at a glance that they are presented, and Cao Cao mostly looks at the north first.

At this time, he was holding a noblely decorated book in his hand, and he was fascinated.

After a moment, a smile suddenly appeared.

"Fengxiao, Zhicai, immediately let Wen Ruo come to the Prime Minister's Mansion! The situation is gratifying! Heaven help me! ”
