Runan-gun.

Xu Zhen is in Xu Chu's hometown at the moment, where he cleaned up the Gepi Yellow Turban back then, and now he has built a walled city, which looks quite prosperous.

The people are in a lot of noise, and there is more or less the appearance of rushing to the market for business, and the number of people in various places has also increased.

Xu's mansion is spacious and prosperous, and Xu Zhen and others can live in peace after being stationed.

Xu Zhen was not in a hurry at all along the way, followed the grain truck, slowly went south, and played all the way.

He was not the main force in the southern expedition, although he also brought 30,000 people, and most of his henchmen were by his side, but he did not plan to fight for merit.

These generals and ministers originally listened to him, at most Dian Wei had a big temper and complained a few words every day that he didn't fight, but it didn't affect the morale at all.

They originally followed the grain truck all the way, and these grains were also the grain of Jizhou, and they wanted to be able to take and carry them at any time.

Starting from Jizhou, Zhuge Liang demarcated four grain transportation routes, a total of one million stone of grain, which was continuously transported in seasons and batches, plus Cao Cao's various grains and grasses from Xudu to eat, enough for Cao Ren to garrison in front of Xinye for a year.

It can even add tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

And this year, I still don't have to worry about being full, but I can eat richly.

What is waiting is that Liu Bei can't bear to retreat by himself, once Xinye and Xiangyang have a disagreement, it will be much more convenient in the future, maybe it will not be too difficult to take Jingzhou.

"Prince, there's news."

Dian Wei hurriedly walked into the main hall, came to Xu Zhen and hugged his fists and bowed down, and said happily: "The battle in Jingzhou has been decided, and now it is the same as you said, Cao Ren is stationed abroad, and thirty miles away is Xinye. ”

"Now Liu Bei is estimated to be asking for help, and I don't know what happened to Jingzhou, there is no news."

Xu Zhen and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, and both of them showed a knowing smile, "I know that it is impossible to win with less and rely on the time and terrain alone. ”

"There must be a fire in Bowangpo to burn the army, and even the Xinye City after Liu Bei retreats, I'm afraid there will be a fire."

Zhuge Liang fanned the feather fan, laughing loudly, full of pride, there may be a fire attack plan here, in fact, after Xu Zhen said it casually, he has been convinced, and soon guessed in detail how Liu Bei would use the strategy.

When thinking about it, it must be under his own imagination, and he first thinks about how this matter should be arranged if he makes a plan himself.

Fang Cai was able to break through Liu Bei's intentions, write down the plan and send it to Cao Ren.

"Don't fan, it's cold."

Xu Zhen glanced at Zhuge Liang, the climate in autumn is already so cold, and he can still afford to fan.

I don't know how you can pretend to be at your age.

Learn from whom.

"There will be a fire in Xinye," Xu Zhen nodded firmly, "Liu Bei can't escape, he doesn't have much capital, he won't abandon the city and leave, I'm afraid he will have to take the people with him, and at the same time move Xinye's belongings and burn the entire city with forage, so that he can block the pursuing soldiers for a day or two, enough to march for how many miles?" ”

"If this matter is done, the heavens will be angry and resentful, and the people will definitely be resentful, which will also be a big blow to Liu Bei."

"But if you don't do it, Liu Bei will have nowhere to go after the city is broken," Xu Zhen smiled, "How to choose?" If I choose, I will be so bored that I can't sleep. ”

A few people will smile heartily, and there will be damage before and after, where in this world will there be two dharmas.

Since the army is defeated and invincible, if you want to be preserved, you will naturally have to lose, and this is exactly how the march and battle should be, gradually eating away at what it has, and constantly suppressing it with victory.

"Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have suffered a lot of losses in Bowangpo, and even if they run away, they can't get out,"

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and had some doubts, "I just don't know, where else can he go?" ”

"Liu Qi."

Xu Zhen said indifferently, "You may have forgotten that Xu Shu wrote in the military information that Xu Shu had given me that Liu Qi had been transferred to Jiangxia Taishou, such a remote place, why was Liu Biao willing to let him go?" Since he knew that Cai's family was different, he still wanted to keep Liu Cong by his side. ”

"This is obviously their own strategy, I want them to fight for it themselves, and withdraw all the henchmen in advance."

"If you go to vote for Liu Qi, it makes sense, Jiangxia is close to the ferry, and there are marching routes on land and water," Zhuge Liang nodded, his face was full of enlightenment, he didn't know the exact news before, and he could only guess half-understood, but now when he heard it, many mysteries were immediately solved.

"Master, if that's the case, there's nothing we can do."

Xu Zhen was silent, so he really couldn't do anything, now the soldiers and horses can't enter Jingzhou, and the spies can't control the situation.

Jiangxia's troops are a foregone conclusion, that is, it is left to Liu Qi, and Liu Bei is likely to be left by Liu Biao to his son.

Mrs. Cai was his stepmother and had never been very kind to him.

Liu Biao saw it in his eyes, and naturally his heart was clear.

"Che riding, except for Nanyang County in Jingzhou, there are also a lot of soldiers and horses in the rest of the counties, if the army is advanced at this time, it should also be resisted, and it is inevitable that the relationship will be damaged."

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and said on the side, although he is not good at scheming, but after hearing too much, he certainly understands the current situation, and now he is using strategies to drive a wedge between Liu Bei and Liu Biao.

Let them fight among themselves, Liu Bei did not have many soldiers and horses, but he was able to be a pioneer, and he messed up Jingzhou first, so that Cao Ren could drive straight into Nanyang for a long time.

In this way, Liu Biao needs to persecute him personally.

"There's one more thing we haven't used."

Xu Zhen suddenly rubbed his chin, and found something in his mind that he had almost ignored before.

"Master, come and hear it!" Zhuge Liang is curious and looking forward to it, he is really learning and reasoning now, and he has gradually been able to use tricks on his own, and show his perfect talent.

"Liu Biao, he should have given Liu Bei military food every year, but he was detained by Cai Mao, so Liu Bei has not received funding from Xiangyang over the years, and he has relied on his own soldiers and horses."

"However, neither side knows, Liu Biao thinks that Liu Bei's soldiers are funded by him, and Liu Bei thinks that he has never owed so much favor, and Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou Water Division, is the key in the middle, so let's directly harm him."

Xu Zhen smiled, and thinking of this, he glanced at his panel.

【Limited Time Mission: Conquer Nanyang County】

[Progress: 65%]

It's really fast, according to the existing battle report and military situation, the progress will be constantly updated, and when Nanyang is broken, you can also receive a lot of rewards.

I don't want merit at all now, but these system rewards for various qualities are unavoidable.

In the land of the southern expedition, there are so many time-limited missions, and it is estimated that there are many places in each place, and you should keep thinking about the things you want to conquer day and night, and you must not slack off.

……

Among the soldiers and horses of his companions, there was Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, and the tiger and leopard cavalry now had 2,000 iron armaments, all of which were Cao Ang's troops, but he was also happy to hand it over to his uncle Cao Chun to command.

Cao Chun was on Xu Zhen's side, walking a little faster, leading 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride south, often talking and discussing with Xu Zhen, although Xu Jun's speed was slow, but the strategies were endlessly sent to Fancheng, Anding, and Wancheng.

Cao Chun naturally knew that he usually wrote a secret report on the situation and sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this moment, in the mansion of Prime Minister Xu Du, Cao Cao took a look at this letter and nodded secretly.

"Although Bowen has fun and enjoys the mountains and rivers along the way, I heard that he is paying attention to Zixiao to take Nanyang at any time, and he is walking in the courtyard to break Liu Bei's three plans, which is terrible."

When he said the last word, he even used an emotional tone, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, so that others could also feel the pain.

Guo Jia arched his hand and said expressionlessly: "It should be, in order to relax the public, Bowen said before that he would not fight for merit, but he was worried that Zixiao would not be able to defeat him, or he already had a strategy to break the enemy in his heart, and he knew all the strategies of that Uncle Liu Huang, so it was like this." ”

"He didn't go to Nanyang, but the strategy was always sent to Nanyang, and he didn't go by himself, it should be for the sake of General Zixiao."

"Hmm...... Or Bonghyo can speak. ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Bowen this time, he was really atmospheric, and he used the counting road to set the situation in Nanyang, and now he deliberately slowed down the march route and put food for Zixiao, how noble." ”

"It's time to write down a credit, it's just that now there seems to be room for relaxation in the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Biao," Cao Cao walked out with his hands behind his back and took out the letter sent by Cai Mao from his arms.

As usual, most of the content was still small talk, as if reminiscing about the past, but in fact, there was some hidden information for Cao Cao.

Among them, the secret words also said the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Biao now, although there was discord, Liu Biao did not kill Liu Bei's heart, and even planned to send him 40,000 stone of grain.

However, there was no intention of sending troops.

"Bowen may not have expected that the strength of these two people is not small, and their minds are naturally broad-minded, and after a few strategies, Liu Bei has not collapsed yet."

Guo Jia hadn't read the letter yet, but he had roughly guessed what the letter said, and sneered while taking the letter, and said: "If this Uncle Liu Huang doesn't have the energy, how can he go out safely, his ability to swallow his anger is not owned by ordinary people." ”

"And over the years, he has traveled in many places, and it is not so simple."

When he read the letter, he added with an awe-inspiring face, "In this way, this Liu Jingsheng is not very human, knowing that there is no turmoil in the border affairs, Liu Bei is very likely to be deceiving his grain and grass troops, but he still gives grain and grass, just to show the name of treating his clan relatives well." ”

"It's also a ruthless person," Guo Jia shook his head helplessly, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said: "If this is the case, the best way is to wait for Liu Biao to die, and the letter also said that Liu Biao's body is getting more and more sick, and I am afraid that there are no more years to live." ”

"Now I sigh all night, which aggravates his condition and accelerates his lifespan."

"Humph!"

Cao Cao shook his head with a cold face, and did not take this sentence to heart, and said in a deep voice: "Sighing all night, working hard day and night, it will not necessarily aggravate the condition, you see that Xu Bowen used to march and fight almost sleepless every day, train soldiers, and think hard about strategies, but his spirit is getting better and better, maybe he will recover when he is angry, this cannot be regarded as a complete strategy." ”

"Now, we still need to let the two of them have some suspicions, since they have seized such an opportunity, how can they let Liu Biao take a breath? Give him a few more rides. ”

You guys are really ruthless to the old man, and you have to send them several times.

Guo Jia said secretly in his heart.

"Send another message? At war with it? ”

"No, if you send a message to fight Jingzhou, it will make Liu Biao and Liu Bei reconcile, or mention this matter......" Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Order, send troops to Xudu, I personally lead the troops and horses to Runan, and at the same time let Zihe send flying horses to Xuzhuang in Runan first, and let Xu Zhen come to see me along the way, I have something to ask him, he must have a plan!" ”

"That Xu Yuanzhi is now in Jizhou, but Bowenken takes a step ahead, he must have a perfect plan."

"You haven't received detailed information, and the plan you have made will not be much better than Bowen," Cao Cao smiled happily, this made sense, Guo Jia did not object, so after pouting, he turned away.

After a while, the order was given and he came back.

This has been thought about a lot.

Xu Zhen now dares to take his subordinate Wenwu south, taking Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang with him, in the land of Jizhou, the remaining generals are only Zhang Liao, Zhaozhao, and Xu Ding; Among the civil servants, the confidants are Yang Xiu, Cui Lin, and Xu Shu in governance.

There is also Xu You, who is very familiar with the situation in Jizhou.

These people can stabilize Jizhou, but they are also enough to win over and talk, they are completely different from Dian Wei and others, except for Zhang Liao and Xu Ding, they should not be regarded as people who follow Xu Zhen with all their hearts, maybe it is a good opportunity.

In Jizhou, some school affairs are installed as secret agents, and the situation in Jizhou can be closely monitored in the future.

Otherwise, there will be chaos.

Guo Jia is thoughtful and gloomy, good at judgment, early before the autumn harvest, when Xu Zhen began to tell Cao Ren how to break Nanyang with a trick, he was no longer amazed, but jealous.

Because if he used a trick, he would not be able to do it so perfectly, and he beat Liu Bei's soldiers and horses to such a neat and complete state, and he himself was not even on the battlefield.

He already needs to think long-term, otherwise he will really not have the slightest power to fight back in the future.

"My lord, Jizhou is empty now, and I think I should send some people to secretly help Bowen stabilize law and order."

"Or, if you want to calm the hearts of the people, you need to have a person of high moral and respect, stationed in Yecheng, Jizhou, first stabilize the hearts of the people, and then bring the edict of the Son of Heaven to carry out the government, I remember that there is no need to pay taxes for three years, and there is still one year to expire, and the people should know about it."

"In the land of Yecheng, the mansions of the hundred officials and the mansions of the Inner City Government Office have long been built and located along the land of the inner city that Yuan Shao originally occupied, and it is time for someone to gradually go over and sit in the town first."

"Hmm!"

Cao Cao's eyes sank, and he glanced at Guo Jia deeply, although he was reluctant in his heart, but he clearly knew what he was talking about.

If Xu Zhen is in Jizhou, it is not easy to arrange, now is a good time, but he can't send a person who usually has a grudge against him.

"Please, Zhicai will go to Yecheng, Jizhou, the official position will remain unchanged, and he will be the candidate for my country's prime minister in the future, and he will first enter the main government office, and the officials and talents of the various ministries will be selected freely, and he can open the government and accept guests."

Cao Cao smiled, this person, Xu Zhen will definitely have no objections.

This is his lord.

"Miaozai, it's best to go to Zhicai, and I won't offend Bowen, but I dare to ask Wen Ruo to go."

"Wen Ruo?!"

Cao Cao's face changed suddenly, he froze in place, looked at Guo Jia in a daze, squinted his eyes and wondered, "Why?" Wen Ruo is my minister, how can he leave Xu Du? ”

"Wen Ruo is impartial, never for personal reasons, he really doesn't let Bowen have any worries, and Zhicai is easy to guess," Guo Jia said solemnly.

He also thought about these words in his heart for too long, and only today did he really dare to say them.

If it had been in the past, he would never have dared to say it.

But at this time, don't say no, people like Guo Jia would rather die by themselves than watch one of these relatives and friends of these "coachmen" driving the world's new carriage die in front of them today.

He is cold, does not like to praise, and is mostly sharp, but the enthusiasm in his heart is actually no less than that of the righteous people.

Otherwise, how can he support his friend's mother for more than ten years because of a promise, and only be his own biological mother.
