Xu Du.

Cao Cao and the others got the latest news of Yang Zhao, and they were also sighing that they were so powerful, they could defeat Yuan Shao so quickly, booby trap Gao Gan and the Xiongnu Youxian King, completely annihilate the annexed states and the Xiongnu coalition army, and finally successfully entered the annexed states.

"Yang Zhao is definitely our fierce enemy!"

Xi Zhong exclaimed: "His strength is stronger than before, according to the news obtained by the spies, he also formed a team of cavalry with men and horses wearing armor, rampage, no one can stop it, the tiger and leopard cavalry we have just formed are about to meet the opponent." ”

Cao Cao frowned, he was not disgusted by his subordinates' strategists, praising Yang Zhao's strength so much, but it brought a sense of crisis, and he was afraid that he would not have any advantage when he saw Yang Zhao on the battlefield in the future.

"My lord, we can expand south."

Chen Gongzuoyi said: "If we don't occupy Jingzhou in the south, we really won't be able to compete with Yang Zhao in the future, and the resources that can be provided in Yuzhou and Yanzhou are too few." ”

"Subordinates seconded!"

Cheng Yu agreed.

The other strategists nodded in agreement, even Xun Yu was in favor of doing this, and he must take Jingzhou as soon as possible to strengthen his own foundation and strength.

Otherwise, they are even less likely to be Yang Zhao's opponents.

From a strategic point of view, Jingzhou must also be taken

"Then take Jingzhou first!"

Cao Cao listened to their words and said solemnly: "Pass my order, gather the whole army, prepare to set off to Jingzhou, and swear not to give up if you don't take it." ”

"Yes!"

After receiving Cao Cao's order, everyone immediately responded.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou, it is not clear what happened, in Xiangyang City, he can still sing and dance, thinking that Cao Cao is blocking in the north, and he is still safe for the time being.

——

The Taishou on the Taiyuan side did not resist and surrendered very simply.

Yang Zhao led the army to transfer the position and came to Jinyang, the seat of the state, and then successively got the news of the surrender of the counties, and those officials in the state knew that Gao Gan was killed, the Xiongnu Youxian King was killed in battle, and the army of more than 100,000 people was basically gone, and there was no ability to resist.

The Taishou who surrendered from each county would come to Jinyang to meet Yang Zhao, which was considered familiar.

Yang Zhao didn't do anything to them, he met once, and then asked the shadow to investigate again, and made sure that there was no problem with these Taishou, and they were not the kind of corrupt officials who did evil, so he sent the people back.

"You say, your name is Guo Yi?"

At this time, Yang Zhao looked at the Yanmen County Taishou in front of him and asked curiously.

Guo Yi didn't understand very much, so many Taishou, why the general only left himself, nodded and said, "It's a subordinate." ”

"Do you have one, a son named Guo Huai?"

Yang Zhao asked again.

Guo Huai was one of the few generals in the later period of Cao Wei, who could resist Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and repel Jiang Wei.

It turned out that he left himself for the sake of his son, Guo Yi was puzzled again, nodded and said, "I don't know where my son Guo Huai offended the general?" ”

Yang Zhao said with a smile: "Guo Taishou doesn't need to be nervous, I just heard that Guo Boji is brave, has a strategy, knows how to lead troops to fight, and wants to meet, can Guo Taishou bring him to meet him?" ”

Guo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

His son, who has the ability to fight, does know how to fight, he knows these very well, nodded and said: "Yes, please wait a moment, general!" ”

Guo Huai was brought to Jinyang by him, and at this time he went outside and called people in.

"Guo Huai, the word Boji, I have seen the general!"

The current Guo Huai is still very young, and like Lu Meng, he gives people a feeling of youth and vigor.

Yang Zhao looked at it for a while and asked, "How about you follow me in the future?" ”

Guo Huai was a little dazed and looked up at his father.

Guo Yi felt that the general was going to promote Guo Huai, and nodded his head.

"Thank you for your appreciation!"

Guo Huai agreed.

Yang Zhao said again: "Next, you first follow Peping's side, familiarize yourself with our military affairs, and then lead the troops to fight, I will play Your Majesty according to your military merits and make you an official." ”

"Thank you, General!"

Guo Huai nodded.

Accepting Guo Huai, Yang Zhao waved his hand, then asked them to retreat, and said: "Zijing, the next Yanmen Pass, you come to guard, don't let the Xianbei Hu people have a chance to go south, if you dare to come down, you will fight hard, I will give enough weapons, as well as money and food, if you have any needs, send someone back to me at any time, but it will be hard for you to guard the border." ”

The status of Yanmen Pass is very important.

Holding the pass, you can resist the Hu people who are going south.

"Subordinates don't work hard!"

Zhao Zhao said loudly.

After these arrangements were made, and all the states were under control, Yang Zhao opened the Hongtu hegemony panel and looked at it, and sure enough, he could see that the entire territory of the state was green on that map.

"The emperor's luck has increased by more than six thousand."

"Light up basic chemistry!"

Yang Zhao thought silently in his heart.

On the science and technology tree, the basic chemistry item was lit up, and a series of chemical knowledge that did not belong to oneself poured into the mind, and was absorbed in an instant.

The next step is to start industrialization with basic physics.

"Not bad."

Yang Zhao muttered to himself.

The army was in Jinyang and stayed for several days.

"Lord, the Huns have sent someone."

One day, Fang Rui came in and said, "They said they wanted to surrender and wanted to make peace with us. ”

King Youxian was defeated, and the Southern Xiongnu died so many people, they must have suffered heavy losses, and they did not dare to fight any more, so they only came to sue for peace, and they were also worried that Yang Zhao would take advantage of the situation to come in.

"Bring them in!"

Yang Zhao said.

After waiting for a while, an old man was brought into the government office by Fang Rui.

"In Xia Wulian, I have seen the great Han general."

This Hun envoy shouted and bowed again.

Yang Zhao looked at the other party and asked lightly: "You Huns, do you really want to seek peace?" ”

Wu Lian said sincerely: "That's right, we didn't mean to start a war with the general, it's just that our Youxian King's private behavior has nothing to do with us." ”

Yang Zhao didn't even believe in the punctuation marks when he said this.

If it weren't for their Shan Yu's instructions, would the Right Sage King dare to mess around like this?

Absolutely not.

Yang Zhao said: "It's okay to make peace, but we need to pay some price, otherwise how can we make up for the losses caused by the war?" ”

Wu Lian hesitated and asked, "May I ask the general, what price is needed?" ”

"Five thousand horses, ten thousand sheep."

Yang Zhao directly offered the price: "When it is sent, I will agree to your request for peace when it comes, of course you can also refuse, anyway, I don't care." ”

Wu Lian shook his head and said, "Too much! ”

"Then you refuse, Fang Rui, send off!"

Yang Zhao didn't bother to bargain with him, and he didn't want to talk about more and not much.

Regardless of whether the Xiongnu can accept it or not, Yang Zhao must also fight in, the Xiongnu must be destroyed, and the Hetao area must be recovered and can no longer be controlled by foreigners.

"General, I ......"

Wu Lian still wanted to bargain, but Fang Rui didn't give him a chance, and directly drove the person out, and he couldn't even finish his words.
