"Icing."

Prime Minister's house.

In the main hall, Guo Jia and other ministers had a long talk with Cao Cao, and they never felt sleepy late at night, and after a long time, Guo Jia finally came up with a possibility.

"If the river is frozen, you can pass the foot, but Ta Dun never imagined that Xu Zhen would take this marching route, near Liucheng, there must be a frozen place, and you can pass it at night."

"If you don't notice it and don't think about it at all, then there will be almost no troops stationed there, so that Bowen can march quickly."

"Raid Liucheng, and then form a front and rear attack with Liaodong."

When these words were spoken, everyone's faces were a little lighter, and many people nodded thoughtfully, only in this way to march, most likely, Xu Zhen is good at using strange soldiers, and likes to check the terrain and explore the situation in various places.

"He must have sent troops to investigate the terrain the last time he went to Youbeiping, and knew that the river was close to Liucheng, and he could march after it froze."

"Although you can't go on horseback, but in his sword and shield camp, Gao Shun's 10,000 dead soldiers can go over the mountains and mountains, let alone walk on the ice."

"From the north to the land of Liucheng, it is already extremely cold, once the ice is frozen, the ice layer will be extremely thick, and it will not melt all year round, and the ice and snow will be difficult to melt, so this plan can be achieved, no wonder he is not afraid of secret orders at all."

Xi Zhicai stood up very proudly, walked away with his hands, and kept smiling, "Because of Bowen, his original plan was to march and fight again after the deep winter of Sanjiu!" ”

"Bowen deserves to be Bowen, this temperament of using soldiers, hahaha!! What a brilliant idea! Chic! ”

Guo Jia glanced at him, put away the smile on his face, and said faintly: "It's not your battle, is it necessary to be so happy?" ”

"Hey," Xi Zhicai grinned, "don't forget, Bowen was recommended by me." ”

Guo Jia also showed no weakness, and looked at him calmly, "If I was in the military camp at the time, I could also recommend it." ”

"Then why don't you come? Don't want to? ”

"People like Xu Bowen are quick and talented, even if they don't have you to be loyal, he can still become famous."

"Then I just happened to recommend it, what's wrong? How can you ignore the grace of recommendation? It shows that I have a unique vision, and I can see the achievements of Bowen at a glance! ”

"Eh, well, okay......"

Xun You hurriedly stood up and grabbed the two of them, with a wry smile on his face.

Cao Cao is on the throne and is very lively, can these two brothers quarrel like this? It's purely vindictive.

"Zhicai does have vision," Cao Cao praised, and at the same time, his eyes signaled that Guo Jia did not need to be excited, calmly discussed, and stretched out his hand and pressed down on him twice.

Then he said: "When he first arrived in the account as Gong Cao, he was not so outstanding, but he has been marching and fighting in the army over the years, studying hard in politics, and has improved a lot. ”

"His ability to learn is indeed talented, and his martial arts have also increased a lot, he is really a talented person."

"Now that the north is stable, Liaodong needs a big reward, I now have a letter from Bo Shu, before this battle, Gongsun Du was already terminally ill and could no longer lead the army, and it has always been his son Gongsun Kang who is leading the troops to fight."

"After Bowen's victory, Gongsun Du also died of illness immediately, and Gongsun Kang withdrew back to Liaodong, and he needed a great reward from the Son of Heaven, inherited the title, and then rewarded the official position to appease his heart."

"Whoa."

Several strategists immediately surrendered their hands and responded that the matter would soon be reported to Shangshutai, and Xun Yu would then prepare the chapter in front of Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Liu Xie just nodded.

gave Gongsun Kang the official position of a border general, and then sent him money and food to reward the officers and soldiers of his army for the death and injury of the battle.

then mourned his father and posthumously made him a knight.

It is inevitable to reward An Liaodong, so that there is no need to attack and operate with heart within ten years, only to build Youzhou prosperous and prosperous, so that Ding can prosper.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao also let out a long sigh and said, "Bowen, it's time to come back." ”

"After the beginning of spring, let him march to Jizhou to garrison, guard the princes outside the Guanwai outside Yongliang, and then bring a group of soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Xudu, ready to go south."

"Well, I'm going to write a letter next!"

……

In February, when the snow and ice melt.

Xu Zhen returned from Liaodong as a guest, and was hospitalized by Gongsun Kang for more than a month, although he did not drink, but he traveled all over the famous places in Liaodong, as well as dangerous places.

Everywhere he went, Xu Zhen would gaze deeply at the vicinity, feeling that the terrain of eastern Liaodong was vast, there were many roads, and he silently looked at how many small roads were suitable for marching in his heart.

How many rivers can follow the tactics of the attack on Liucheng, wait for the rivers to freeze and then raid at night.

Now he is on his way home, preparing to go to Zhuo County, Youzhou, and go to the Thorn History Department built outside the city of Zhuo County to discuss the next internal affairs.

Jizhou and Youzhou are destined to trade for decades, and Jizhou's commercial goods are varied and gradually prosperous, enough to be transported to Youzhou to enrich the people's feelings.

The money in circulation is still mainly five baht, and as long as it is valid, then the currency can still be passed.

Youzhou, on the other hand, can enter and exit with many horseback merchants outside every year, and get a lot of farming and craftsmanship that are not available in the Central Plains.

In the future, Youzhou and a large territory of Liaodong will not only become a gradually prosperous agricultural land, but also a place for foreign merchants to enter the Central Plains.

In the carriage, Yang Xiu and Tian Chou looked at the map in front of Xu Zhen, and large and small cloths were placed on the large table.

Xu Zhen's carriage is very gorgeous, with a large interior space, because it walks slowly, and it will not be too rugged and shaky on the road.

When a few people were fascinated, they basically didn't feel much.

Tian Chou nodded and said, "The map drawn by the rider himself, although it is different from what we have drawn, is straightforward......

Xu Zhen mostly sketches with simple lines, and at the same time distinguishes places through annotations.

There are four or five mountain and forest arteries, trails, mountain walls, dangerous land agriculture and forestry near the main cities of Liaodong, etc., which can quietly enter Liaodong, and the distance is not far, and it is expected that it will take more than five days less than the frontal march.

It is completely possible to start from the right north and attack by surprise.

With these maps, put them together in one place, you can probably get a complete topographic map of Liaodong.

"With this, it will be much more convenient to attack Liaodong whenever in the future."

Tian Chou twisted his beard and sighed, leaning on the inner wall of the carriage, and was a little stunned for a while, he used the strategy of icing the road in exchange for the attention he now attaches to and follows the car beside him.

However, except for the help in the terrain, the rest of the talents are not comparable to the strategists under his command, and even the master in the carriage.

At first, Tian Chou thought that this young man was just a random Confucian student next to Xu Zhen, although he was elegant and luxuriously dressed.

But I couldn't have imagined that this was actually the son of Taiwei Yang Biao, the eldest son of the Hongnong Yang family of the hairpin family, if it was according to the past, it would also be the person who wanted to be the three princes and nine kings.

Yang Xiu's house, there is Yang Biao as the third duke, and then Yang Biao's great-grandfather Yang Zhen, known as Confucius in Kansai, is also famous, and he is also the third duke.

and Runan Yuan's in-laws for many years, are among the best wealthy families, even if Yang Biao is only a lieutenant, he will gradually abdicate, and he will already be famous in the whole world in the future.

Then, the status of their entire family is indelible, and Yang Xiu is actually under the command of Xu Zhen, a chariot rider who is obviously at odds with the Shi clan.

Tian Chou really couldn't understand it.

Therefore, he is now sorrowful, and only by doing his part can he have a little peace of mind.

"Riding a car, within ten years, Liaodong has no worries, but after thinking about it, the car riding should come to the north again after the southern expedition."

Yang Xiu immediately smiled and said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, but I think that Liaodong is not chaotic, so I will look at this southern expedition." ”

"Why did Yuan Shao have no power to fight back within a year after the defeat of Guandu? It's just that the forces he is attached to are floating in people's hearts, and he needs to suppress them. ”

"That is, the strong husband is strong, because the hearts of the people are gathered; The weak are not weak, and if they are defeated, they can become stronger. ”

"From the next point of view, the southern expedition is bound to win, and if there is a defeat, it can only be determined in the north within a few years to stabilize the rear."

Tian Chou was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Xu Zhen, he found that he was smiling, and he didn't say much in his heart.

This is indeed the case, the strategists around Che Qi have a good vision and a long-term mind, so it seems that Cao's approach is a bit too big.

"In that case, why don't you let the prince's army go south."

"This is the way to ensure victory."

"Alas......"

Yang Xiu sighed, and was also very smart to stop talking.

This is Xu Zhen's concession.

He is making this Cao clan relative.

"Sir, when you arrive in Jizhou, please be diligent in internal affairs, treat the people like sons, and stabilize millions of people in the territory and tens of millions of fertile land."

"The rest, don't worry, the prince has been suffering, but he hasn't said anything."

According to his merits, it is not an exaggeration for Xu Zhen to enter the public now.

But he had to be after the prime minister, because he had to be under one man all the time.

"Understand, this, I naturally understand it below."

"I have Jizhou's internal affairs, but I have to rely on Mr."

"Alas, don't dare, don't dare, Yang Gongzi's words are broken."

Tian Chou did have a lot of experience in internal affairs when he was a hermit in these years, and he was a literati, where was there no arrogance in his heart, and the so-called literature was the first.

Of course, he is also confident that he wants to show his strength in Jizhou's internal affairs, Yang Xiunai is in charge of foreign affairs and documents, and his most appreciated is literary talent.

As for Chen Deng, Tian Chou had never heard of it, and his father Chen Gui was only 2,000 stones, and his reputation could not spread to the entire Han Dynasty, it was nothing more than a little fame in a state.

And Zhuge Liang, I heard that he is the only protégé disciple of Cheqi, I am afraid that it is even more difficult to support himself, and he went to Jizhou by himself to show his strength.

"Prince," the carriage stopped.

Dian Wei knocked on the wooden door of the carriage, opened it, and then came in and said, "The eldest prince took the officials of Youzhou and went out to welcome ten miles, just outside the peach forest." ”

"Okay."

Xu Zhen got out of the car.

After taking care of his clothes and walking forward quickly, Cao Ang saw Xu Zhen coming, and he also greeted him and bowed.

"Ziyu has seen my brother."

"My brother fought in Liucheng and expelled Gongsun Zhan's Wuhuan who had been chasing him for ten years, and now it is less than two months, and he is already famous!"

"The people of Youzhou regard their brother as Huangfu Song and Liu Youzhou."

"In the future, he will be famous in history, and he will be the sage of later generations, and his brother is admirable."

Xu Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"I've been listening to people praise me for two months," Xu Zhen leaned closer and smiled, "It's better to talk about it." ”

"When you ask your father for money and food, you must ask for more iron and brass."

"The more the big war, the more we must prepare armaments, and from today onwards, we must work day and night in the Qingxu waterway to build warships."

"So that the war will not drag on."

"Southern Expedition, according to what I said before, I will never take a large army, but only 10,000 armored cavalry, 10,000 crossbow cavalry, and 10,000 sword and shield battalions."

"The credit is not required, Ziyu can rest assured."

Xu Zhen took a deep look at him, and even gave some suggestions for expanding the water army.

Cao Ang breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, and walked forward hand in hand with Xu Zhen, and went to the carriage of the honor guard to chat, which is not good to talk about, it is the first sentence to see the first side.

The elder brother has not changed, he is still the same as before, he doesn't have time to listen to those false and wrongful polite words, he doesn't like to play the tricks of the scholars, and he likes to discuss straight to the point.

Moreover, Cao Ang had just invited Xu Zhen to settle down in Zhuo County to discuss, and he might have already been aware of his intentions, thinking that this was also a wry smile and shaking his head.

Yes, he was mainly worried that after Xu Zhen went back, his merits would be too high, and he would have great merit, and there would be hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers taking care of the peace of Jizhou and Bingzhou.

General Cao didn't dare to blatantly stop him at all, and it would be difficult to get merit from the south.

This time he went south, and the merits obtained were used to seal a general on Xu Zhen's head.

Now it is Cao Cao who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses as prime minister, taking advantage of Xu Zhen's exploits like a horsewhip, and then speeding up the Cao generals with a few strokes.

Let one of them be uplifted, and it will be much more secure in the future.

"Since my brother said so, there is no difficulty in that son, although he indulges in singing and drinking tonight."

"Are you alright? It's okay to go, I'm going back to Jizhou soon......"

When Xu Zhen heard this, his face was immediately relaxed, I thought there was something else to ask.

The result is to say a few words for the sake of the Cao clan, then I won't go.

I went to live in Zhuo County for a few days, and I delayed going home to play.

The silk yarn obtained outside the home made the delicate women into fine silk trousers, and they were to hurry home and let the ladies try them.

Who has time to talk to you here.

"Don't, don't!"

Cao Ang immediately grabbed Xu Zhen's arm, his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't speak.

He is now extremely powerful.

In Youzhou, he has the demeanor of a monarch, no matter how much he fights martial arts, or he leads the army to make a strategy, no one can stand out, as if he is chasing his father back then.

But in front of Xu Zhen, he still instinctively felt a little bit of asking for advice, and he wanted to be a little more authentic, "Brother, there are some things to ask, please teach me." ”

"Hmmm......"

Xu Zhen blinked, the expression on his face was a little helpless, and then he approached and asked curiously, "What kind of thing?" If it is related to Zihuan, Zijian, and Chong'er, I can't do anything, and I can't say a word. ”

"I only have one son, I don't understand."

Your family's business, don't drag me into the water.

Cao Pi takes Cao Chong to play with snakes or not, it has nothing to do with me, anyway, you don't have contact with them in Youzhou, who can compare to you when you inherit the great cause of great achievements in the future? !

"Yes, but it's not...... It's mainly related to my brother. ”

"Something to do with me?"

Xu Zhen blinked, this was strange.

"What has to do with me, yes, the lord fought in Xuzhou that year, and I took care of the lord's wife and children in Yanzhou, but how can you say that it has something to do with me!?"

Mrs. Bian treats me very well, and I admit that I occasionally steal it.

But she is definitely the love of the elders for the younger generations!

Xu Zhen said.

Then he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted, oh no, Cao Chong was born to Mrs. Huan, not the gentle sister-in-law Mrs. Bian.

Cao Ang's eyes were suddenly confused, and he muttered, "Brother, what are you talking about?" ”

"I said, I'm just taking care of my own relatives, and my brother's dislike has nothing to do with me."

Xu Zhen said without blushing and without a heartbeat.

Cao Ang laughed at this time, "It's not a disdain, brother listens to me slowly tonight." ”

"Good good ......"

Xu Zhen couldn't help it, his heart was weak again, and he couldn't go to Zhuojun to live for a few more days, "Go to the Liu family's ancestral house to eat, I miss them." ”

"Okay."
