The land of Jiangdong, the ferry port of the naval army.

When Ma Tan crossed the river with Lu Su, no one greeted him, and Zhou Yu, Tai Shici, Huang Gai and others were all leading the troops outside.

After the veteran Han Dang was killed by the generalless army Zhang Liaobu in Xiaoyaojin, there were not many people left behind by Sun Jian.

Lu Su led Ma Jian to the big tent to rest, and then a young general Lu Meng came.

"After a short rest, I will go to see the governor, Wu Hou is at Chaisang's house, and then I will come to Qu Alai, and I will arrive in a few days, so I will be restless."

Lu Su is still very calm, Ma Jian is even more confident, his mind is calm and his expression is indifferent, he is already thinking about how to use the strategy after the matter is completed, so that he can jointly march to break Cao Xu's army.

His brother is by no means inferior to himself in terms of military affairs, and Xu Bowen's use of soldiers is nothing more than those sets, and there are comparisons in the art of war, even inferior to Cao Cao.

That Prime Minister Cao Cheng's use of troops is even more treacherous and changeable, and the reality is unpredictable.

In addition, once it unites with Jiangdong, I don't know how many warriors are available, and there are talented people to discuss, and under this atmosphere, how many exquisite strategies can be born.

"Okay, wait for the good news."

Ma Tan nodded, knelt on the futon leisurely, closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting to meet these advisors, fierce generals, and Jiangdong Wuhou next.

……

At this moment, the news and letters flew into Xu Zhen's mansion like feathered birds.

He put down his affairs, went from the main hall to the interior, and entered the side hall with Zhuge Liang and other confidants.

"The news of Xu Gong is here, Jiang Xia is really going to unite, and he knows that the master has returned to the south and wants you to stay in Jingzhou all the time."

"It's impossible to stay in Jingzhou. Jiangdong and Jiangxia joined forces, and the Sun-Liu alliance ......"

Xu Zhen nodded suddenly, his eyes were solemn, and he thought for a long time, for him, the longer the confrontation between Jingzhou and Jiangdong now, the greater the chance of border development.

That's good news.

He still needs to hurry up and gain more abilities before he can keep himself.

After careful calculation, the goal of shaking the world and hearing about the princes has already been achieved, but it is not easy to retire without incident.

It is inevitable that you have to learn from the second Sima and make some preparations to gradually obtain the position of dependence, so that you can have the capital to protect yourself.

Xu Zhen knows in his heart that it is absolutely impossible to resign and leave now, not to mention that these rewards are getting better and better, and they are inseparable from official positions and daily self-discipline.

Let's just say that there are countless enemies now, and if they don't have military power, they are waiting for the endless assassinations of the scholars.

Xu Zhen is not afraid of being alone for the time being, but his relatives and friends have to worry, so for him, his ability is far from enough.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was a little worried, and said in a deep voice: "Jingzhou scholars, the suppression is almost over, take this opportunity Master should change another batch of officials, since he has committed notoriety, he should send Xudu officials and Jizhou officials to Jingzhou, so it is a triple win." ”

"No, Side."

When he said this, it was not his style, Xu Zhen was indeed disillusioned again, as if the person who was talking in his ear was Jia Xu.

However, Jia Lao has now returned to Jizhou to help Xu Zhen "move", and all those family funds must be sent to Bingzhou and Youzhou, and they must not be sloppy.

Ordinary people don't have his ability, so Xu Zhen also specially dispatched Xu Chu to accompany Jia Xu on errands.

Zhuge Liang is indeed deeply influenced by Jia Xu, and his own talent is among the top in the world, and then another top-level advisor has taught him, as well as Xu Zhen, a supermodel master who teaches by word and deed.

The current Zhuge Liang is highly talented and has changed a lot invisibly, and the key thing is that he is not only good at internal affairs, but also really has a lot of military tricks.

Ingenuity sometimes makes Xu Zhen absolutely strange, after all, although he has superhuman intelligence, Xu Zhen can't be omniscient.

It just so happened that the three of them were discussing together, plus Yang Xiu, Xu You and others, it was unimaginable.

"Your ...... plan"

Xu Zhen was about to be speechless, but Zhuge Liang immediately admitted, "Yes, Mr. Wenhe once told me that this plan is to kill three birds with one stone, and Liang thinks that there is one more gain." ”

"Which three things do you say first?" The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth twitched suddenly, I really haven't thought about it so much.

Zhuge Liang bowed his hand, courteous and humble, and said with a confident smile: "Suppressing the Shi clan, dividing the land and canceling the slave nationality is a major matter that will benefit the future plan, but it will affect the foundation of the Shi clan." ”

"There is a big harm in this matter, so I won't talk about it."

Zhuge Liang raised his head and peeked at Xu Zhen, and seemed to complain a little in his heart, mainly because his family is also a scholar family, and it will be a matter of time before the slaves and land are handed over in the future.

This so-called great harm is known to everyone, and being hated by the scholars can really be described as a sentence of hatred, even Zhuge Liang wants to give his master a stick behind his back.

"One of the benefits of this is that it is convenient for the lord to come to collect the hearts of the Jingzhou scholars in the future, and drive you back after your dismissal, and by the way, you can also collect another wave of people's hearts."

"Second, you can go back early, and before you go back, you can ruthlessly rectify these so-called Jingzhou scholars."

"Third, if you take this opportunity to dismiss the local officials, and then use the army to suppress everywhere, and then transfer the scholars from Jizhou and Xudu to Jingzhou, you will have a lot less pressure."

"Fourth, it's okay, it'......s okay," Zhuge Liang glanced at him again, "Let the foreign officials prolong the period of governance, and form a separatist with Jiangdong Jingzhou." ”

"You can have enough time to lead the secluded and two states to recuperate, and then recruit troops."

"Moreover, once the war is put on hold in the future, I am afraid that Jingzhou officials will have to change a batch, and then appoint people recommended by local celebrities, at least for five or six years, they will not be able to achieve real prosperity and growth."

"Tsk," Xu Zhen frowned suddenly, "Jia Xu said, take this opportunity to transfer Xu Du and Jizhou officials to Jingzhou, right?" ”

"Yes," Zhuge Liang knew that this kind of thing would not be hidden from his master, and sooner or later it would be known.

So before leaving, Jia Xu had already anticipated this day, and told Zhuge Liang that he must be so admonished.

Of course, this can't be said that Jia Xu is like a god, in fact, he thought of a total of four possibilities, and discussed four countermeasures with Zhuge Liang, and this one was fulfilled.

However, he can think of four of the countless possibilities, and it is arranged in advance, this meticulous consideration, the current Ma Jian is not a hundred can compare to him.

"Well, according to his plan, make a little more trouble."

Xu Zhen narrowed his eyes and shook his head bitterly.

When Dian Wei heard this sentence from behind, his face was about to smile, and he was eager to try, and he rubbed his hands, "That's right, we have power in our hands, so we should press it!" ”

"How can this make these nobles truly hate! The more they hate, the more grateful they will be when Prime Minister Cao Cheng takes back this power, and if they give a little benefit, won't they be relieved? ”

"Eh, you ......" Xu Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, Dian Wei couldn't understand it before, how can he understand it now, and he can analyze the follow-up by himself.

Could it be that following me wholeheartedly has already begun to be touched by my ears and eyes, and has been added?

If the data is bonus, there will naturally be more people who will follow it in the future, and at that time, the power behind them will be really huge.

Don't talk about Cao.

Xu Zhen was afraid when he thought about it.

But it can't be helped.

They were happy to follow me and say what should I do......

……

That night, Xu Zhen ordered everywhere to continue the slavery of the Chashi family, increase the number of troops and school affairs, and directly dispatch his own sword and shield from Shucheng.

Moreover, he unabashedly ordered Gao Shun to personally bring troops, Gao Shun is more famous in Jingzhou, and everyone knows that he is one of Xu Zhen's most loyal generals.

And compared to Dian Wei, people seem to be more ruthless, they never say much, what Xu Zhen ordered, he did without reservation.

Because in Gao Shun's eyes, this life has long been sold to Xu Zhen by Lu Bu, even if he has lived for Xu Zhen all these years, he was the commander of the trapped camp back then, and now he is the general of the sword and shield horseman.

Other people may just come to intimidate, Gao Shun and Dian Wei are really killing, and they have great achievements, they are all fought in bloody battles, and there are tens of thousands of brothers under their hands.

Cao Cao will not really punish them, and they are all openly punished and secretly protected, how can Jingzhou civil and military not understand these scenes.

So, it was another bloody night, and no one dared to obstruct it too much, so they could only try to hide the slave register at home as much as possible, so that the slaves' subordinates and dead soldiers could hide in the mountains.

Some don't want to hide, so they directly report themselves, become civilians, and apply for registration to be ordinary civilians.

At this time, Xu Zhen had already entered Cao Cao's inner room.

When he was sleepy, he came and asked for an meeting.

"Father, Brother Berwen, is out asking to see ......"

Cao Pi's face was tired and sleepy, and he was full of apologetic smiles.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and he was on the bed, not saying a word.

"What time is it?"

"Ugly ...... three moments"

Cao Pi replied with a smile.

In the middle of the night, I don't sleep......

Cao Cao came up with a burst of anger, and there were only a few people who could enter my inner courtyard without being blocked, but I never expected that it was Bowen who came to disturb me.

"Nope!"

Cao Cao turned over, hummed and didn't look at him, he was going to sleep peacefully, and he didn't mean to talk to him at all, which also made Cao Pi suddenly embarrassed.

He said that he had a plan for Jingzhou to discuss with his father, and his brother worked hard, and these days he was hostile to the Shi clan, and the officials everywhere did not take care of political affairs in protest...... Father may still have to see each other. ”

"Humph!"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and then there was no movement, lying on the bed and even breathing a little calmer, as if he didn't plan to get up at all, and even sulked a little.

"Father, if you don't go, go and ask Brother Bowen to go back first......"

Cao Pi waited for a while, but still didn't move, he could only think that his father was really unwilling to interfere, and he did say before that he did not want to participate in Xu Zhen's rectification of Jingzhou.

What is waiting is that Xu Zhen has offended these scholars, and then he will be relieved, and then Xu Zhen's official position will be made public, and he will be transferred from Jizhou Pastor to Youzhou Pastor.

In this way, in the eyes of local officials and nobles, it is equivalent to punishment, and everything can be just right.

Now that I intervene, the situation seems to be different again.

So if you don't see him, it's understandable, there's nothing to persuade, and Cao Pi really feels that he shouldn't see him.

"Alas!"

Cao Pi was just about to leave, Cao Cao sat up impatiently, found a bun and tied his hair slightly, and then put on a piece of clothing and was dazed.

This is definitely going to see again, so Cao Pi stopped in place and waited for the order.

"I'm annoyed!"

Cao Cao rubbed his head, reached out and picked the thick beard on his chin again, glanced back with a majestic look, and hated Cao Pi.

Regardless of my business, why do you still hate me?

Cao Pi muttered in his heart, muttering faintly.

"It's not good when to come! It's now! It's time to rest! Doesn't he have to sleep? ”

"Did he Xu Bowen pop out of the stone? Not flesh and blood?! Why do you do this to me! Is that what you talk about?! Don't come to see me if it's okay, and now if something happens, come and discuss with me! ”

"It's stupid as a pig! What did you do earlier! Even Wen Ruo knows! No matter how tired you are, you will find an opportunity to talk to me and have fun all night! ”

"Now I'm in a difficult situation, how can I talk! How could he accede to any of his requests? ”

"Idiot! Disturbing dreams! Why can't you come by day! ”

Damn, in the future, I lose my temper and kill a few people while sleeping, just say that it is a good murder in a dream, see that you Xu Bowen still dare to come to me in the middle of the night......

In this house, except for the guards outside, there was only Cao Pi alone, and this stinking scolding made him confused.

Is my father scolding me?

Although I was the informant, I was the one who really disturbed my father's sleep...... So he muttered aggrievedly, "It's not that I'm coming...... My son is also sleeping peacefully. ”

"Isn't it aggrieved!" Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he scolded a few words, and gradually the dragon spirit tiger became fierce, his hands were propped up on his knees, he raised his head and glared at Cao Pi, raised his right hand, and said, "You wait and see, Xu Bowen comes in, see how I scold him!" Stinky boy, tossing people in the middle of the night. ”

……

"Bowen, what's the matter?"

After a while, Xu Zhen stepped into the inner room and bowed deeply in front of Cao Cao, at this time, Cao Cao's temper had been completely suppressed, and when he woke up, the fire in his stomach was almost gone.

Now he looked at Xu Zhen with a smile on his face and asked softly.

Cao Pi: "......"

The father is so nice, gentle, kind and easy-going.

Xu Zhen's face was serious, and he bowed his hand and said, "My lord, I have contributed to the situation so far, and now it's time to go further." ”

"What does that mean?" Cao Cao was puzzled and slightly stunned, "Tell me more." ”

The current situation is actually what you Xu Bowen want, why do you want this, and what is the benefit to me?

Xu Zhen got up and said with a relaxed smile: "Isn't it true that the lord is in order to completely control Jingzhou, so that he can take charge of the rectification first, so as to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger." ”

"Will you take over again in the end to get the hearts of Jingzhou scholars?"

"Not bad."

Cao Cao nodded.

This plan is very good, even if someone understands, there is no way to say it, because the two of them are in and out, and it is true that the Cao family has kindness to the scholars of the whole realm, and it must be remembered.

At that time, the mind will be settled and attached.

"That's it, the current situation is the best time, so that the Jingzhou scholars can all be their favorite Confucian celebrities!"

"There are 3,780 officials and officials in each county, and how many of them threaten to write poetry as well as seclusion and stability, why don't they satisfy them?!"

Xu Zhen stood straight, his face was righteous and awe-inspiring, he raised his chin slightly, and said solemnly: "In the next life, act openly and fairly, not threatened by others, go if you like to do it, let Jingzhou Wenhui be romantic, lest they have a vegetarian meal." ”

"Hahaha," Cao Cao laughed slowly after thinking deeply at the moment, and now all over the territory of Jingzhou can really be called a corpse vegetarian meal.
