Duan Xuan was a general who led the troops, but he spoke without any strength.

Listening to him is like listening to a master in a school quoting scriptures.

"I don't need to repeat these things, everyone knows it in their hearts, in short, the benefits of meritorious service will definitely not be less." Duan Xuan said, "Next, let's talk about how we should fight this battle."

"Of the thirteen states in the world, Jiaozhou and Yangzhou are not fierce, not outstanding. But what Your Majesty means is that our soldiers and horses must go around, and if the local princes are submitted, they will be resettled, and we will go to the thieves to protect the territory for the people."

"If the local princes don't give face to the court, then they will be beaten and the grass will be cut and eradicated."

"We went south from Jingzhou and north from Yangzhou, and this is the approximate marching route. 意思就是，扬州我们也要顺带了，对待扬州和对待交州，也是一样的态度。 However, the time of our battle may be a little longer, because the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Criminal Department will follow us, they will investigate the case, and we will take people."

"You shouldn't have any problems, right? If you have a question, just say it, and we'll discuss it."

And there was nothing wrong with anyone.

Duan Xuan said it very clearly and thoroughly, and there was nothing they didn't understand.

"Then order the troops!" Duan Xuan coughed lightly, "General Zhang Fei."

"The end will be!"

Zhang Fei stood up like a spring, and the sound shook like thunder.

"You're a pioneer." Duan Xuan said, "I see that in the documents reported by Liu Yuanjun, there are less than 1,000 soldiers and horses in your headquarters, which is too few, so you can divide these soldiers into scouts and personal soldiers at your own discretion. In addition to these soldiers and horses, you bring 6,000 Jingzhou soldiers, you can meet your soldiers now, and then set off. The march is all here, take a copy!"

He pointed to the map on his desk. new

"Whoa!" Zhang Fei let out a deep sigh and stepped forward to take a map.

"General Guan Yu!" Duan Xuan continued to arrange.

"The end will be!"

"Like General Zhang Fei, you are also a pioneer, and you also lead 6,000 troops. Don't be surprised, the two of you are taking different routes, we are strong, so we are arrogant and divide our troops into two ways." Duan Xuan smiled lightly and said, "If the enemy is killed, immediately send scouts to give orders, and the soldiers and horses stationed in Jingzhou are our real rear army."

"The last will obey!" Guan Yu let out a deep sigh and stepped forward to take a map.

At the time of the third pole of the sun, the soldiers and horses going south to Jiaozhou have all been drawn.

In this battle, the imperial court mobilized a total of 22,000 soldiers and horses, dispatched three generals, and one strategist.

Although it is very likely that the soldiers and horses went south to beg for thieves, the imperial court still showed full attention to Jiaozhou.

It can also be said that the importance of war is attached!

Moreover, the 20,000-strong army is only the vanguard, and if there is a difficult battle situation in Jiaozhou.

The soldiers and horses stationed in Jingzhou will immediately go south,

The next day, Cai Mao and Huang Zu led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters that had been stepped up for a lesson, and together with Pang Tong, they also sent troops to the north.

So far, in Xiangyang, an important town in Jingxiang, only Cao Chun's army remains.

But there were 40,000 troops, enough for a large-scale war.

The soldiers and horses that should be drawn have all left, but Liu Bei is not in a hurry to go to Beijing to take up his post.

他这些日子在糜竺和孙乾的帮助下，将荆州上下该整理的东西都挨个整理了一下。

At the same time, they stepped up their efforts to urge all localities to send the raised grain to Xiangyang as soon as possible.

The imperial army has not only come, but has also been pulled, but the grain and grass he has prepared to show is still halfway there.

Nanyang.

Yao Luo and Sun Jian were like a formation, roasting more than ten fish on the fire.

The fire crackled and the aroma of grilled fish lingered in the wind.

"My son is writing again?" Yao Luo was polishing his horizontal knife, and when he saw Sun Jian burying his head in the library and eating the library, he couldn't stop laughing, so he asked with some curiosity.

Sun Jian nodded with a smile on his face, as if he was brilliant

Just got married to a new daughter-in-law.

"Which son?" Yao Luo asked again, "Looking at you like this, I can't help but want to have a son."

Sun Jian held up the letter, showed it to Yao Luo, and said with a smile, "Both of them have letters."

"My eldest son Sun Ce has done a lot of great things in Jiangdong recently, he and Zhou Yu have made friends with countless famous people of the Jiang and Huai generations, and have recruited more than a dozen local water thieves and sect thieves. My son Sun Ce said in his letter that he now has thousands of soldiers and horses."

When Yao Luo heard this, his face suddenly became serious.

He turned over the grilled fish by the fire and said in a deep voice, "Although it is indeed a gratifying thing to be a son hero, I am afraid that it is not a trivial matter at the moment. The general still remembers that you sent your eldest son to your hometown to avoid being targeted by His Majesty, and now that he has made such a reputation, I am afraid that he can only become the general's robe."

Sun Jian's face suddenly lost his smile, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I forgot about this. I should have given him a letter of repair, so that he could get rid of these things as soon as possible."

"It's late, I don't think it's necessary." Yao Luo said.

Sun Jian picked up a stone and smashed it on Yao Luo, scolding, "Don't scare me with surprise, you kid, how honest am I fighting for the country now? Even if there is no merit, there is hard work, right? As long as the imperial army goes north, we should join forces with the outside, and Yuan Shu, the emperor, can be awarded the head in an instant."

"I've been so conscientious, Your Majesty won't ask me about my sins because my son has made a little reputation in Jiangdong, right?"

Yao Luo dodged Sun Jian's subsequent stone attack and explained, "I didn't mean that, you misunderstood."

"Sun Ce has made such a name for himself in such a short period of time, obviously he also has ambitions, so you might as well let him go and let him break through in Jiangdong."

"What nonsense are you!" Sun Jian reprimanded, "You still let him toss a little bigger?"

"Wouldn't it be a good thing not to rebel against the imperial court, and toss a little bigger?" Yao Luo asked rhetorically, "If Ling Lang has the ability to cleanse Yangzhou, wouldn't it be a great achievement?" At that time, I will have to be at least a captain."

"Besides, he has broken out a little foundation, and you let him give up halfway, is he willing?"

"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court's southern expedition were divided into three routes, although they did not send troops to Yangzhou, but this was inevitable. I'm telling you this, the only thing I'm worried about is that the young man is uncertain, and if he pulls up a banner and shouts at the princely general Xiangning, then it's over."

Sun Jian frowned, and suddenly said, "Don't say it, that rabbit cub can really do this kind of thing!"

"So that's what the general should tell me, and the rest doesn't matter." Yao Luo smiled, "It's all my own merit, maybe I will rise faster than the general."

"No, no, I have to write a letter to this kid immediately, and send it over eight hundred miles urgently." Sun Jian said hurriedly.

He was surprised by Yao Luo's words.

He knew very well what kind of virtue his own son was.

Sun Quan is young, and now the letters are saying how big an official he will be in the future.

Sun Ce is even more turbid, he is not afraid of the sky and the earth.

"General, don't forget to let the scouts detour to Yanzhou first, and then go south." Yao Luo reminded again, "Yuan Shu is now like a jackal who has been forced into a dead wood, and he has gone completely crazy. If he intercepts the general's reply, our calculations will be in vain."

"Don't worry, I won't commit such sloppiness." Sun Jian said, and suddenly asked again, "By the way, when are you going to meet Yuan Shu?" It's been hanging him for so long, and the food, grass, and weapons we want have already been delivered, and I think the time is almost now."

Yao Luo nodded, "It's really about the same, I'll think about it again and see if there is anything that Yuan Shu has seen through."

The isolated Yuan Shu has been almost crazy to win over allies in the past month.

And the two fake heavenly kings who were his close neighbors were naturally taken care of by Yuan Shu.

It's almost a separation

Messengers were sent to discuss the alliance.

For this reason, Yuan Shu, the emperor who had just ascended the throne, even promised Yao Luo and Sun Jian the position of the third duke.

In addition to the prestige and power, Yao Luo and Sun Jian asked for food, Yuan Shu gave food, and if they asked for ordnance, Yuan Shu gave them ordnance.

It's just responsive, and at most prevarication at a time.

But if he knew that his grain, grass, and ordnance had been delivered to Sun Jian, he would have died of anger on the spot.
