The above table condemning Huang Zu is not what Zhuge Jin's current identity is qualified to do.

The land of Yuanshu, west of Xunyang in Jiangbei and south of Dabie Mountain, was temporarily stolen by Huang Zu, and it could only be treated coldly for the time being.

This area, roughly equivalent to the prefecture-level city of Huanggang in Hubei in later generations, is only separated by a river from Jiangxia (Wuchang) occupied by Huang Zu, so Huang Zu stole it as soon as he stretched his legs.

To put it more broadly, this is the friction between Liu Bei and Liu Biao due to the uneven distribution of spoils.

To put it mildly, at least this is Huang Zu's violation of Liu Biao's moderation and his own troops in order to expand his sphere of influence.

Although the reason for sending troops is very reasonable on the surface, it is to "please Yuan", but everyone knows that Huang Zu is basically a state within a country in Jingzhou.

All affairs in Jiangxia, their Huang family has the final say.

Obviously, the territory gained by the Jiangxia army's external expansion will continue to be led by the Huang family, and Liu Biao will not be allowed to send local officials to take over. Huang Zu was just a warlord who nominally submitted to Liu Biao.

Therefore, after receiving these two pieces of news from Liu Ye, Zhuge Jin decided to personally move his troops to the north, go to the city closer to the front line, and meet Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

On the one hand, it can be convenient to discuss the follow-up Hefei battle, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to discuss how to write the condemnation table, and then ask Liu Bei to immediately send an envoy to Xudu.

……

As Liu Ye reported that all the military affairs left, the big and small bridges also turned out from behind the screen and continued to rub Zhuge Jin's back.

Daqiao knew that Zhuge Jin was about to set off again, and frowned slightly with concern:

"General, but you're going north in the next few days? Concubine...... I once heard my father say that you are not allowed to bring your family members in the army, and when the time comes, there will be no one to grind the general's back. In normal times, is it the sergeant of the army who sharpens the ink for the general? ”

"If I go on an expedition and can't take you with me, don't you just have to be afraid?" Zhuge Jin was not in a hurry to tell the truth, but continued to tease them in a playful tone.

Compared with when the bridge was captured half a month ago, it is much smoother and more secure. Just listen to her honest words:

"When we saw the general's severe slaughter that day, we were naturally afraid. However, the general was true to his words and did not insult others, and the concubine gradually understood that the general was not targeting us, but that the law was not merciful.

The concubine also warned her sister that even if the general treats us kindly and pleasantly in the future, we must not be pampered and arrogant, and forget the identity of the sinful family. ”

Zhuge Jin saw that the serious beating of the law had worked, and snuffed "what is close is not inferior" in the bud, but he didn't want to keep a straight face anymore, which was quite tiring.

He said with a slightly pleasant face: "Since you have a sense of proportion, I will not emphasize it too much. I do want to go north, but it's not just a few days, and I have to wait for Captain Gan's soldiers and horses to come back.

As for 'family members are not allowed to join the army' - what does this have to do with you? You are not family members, and I am going to Shucheng to camp this time, not to the frontline field camp. ”

Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yu have already taken Lu'an, and when they besiege Hefei in the next step, the Han army will gather the three generals of Guan Yu Zhang Fei and Tai Shi Ci, so there is no need for Zhuge Jin to come to the front line in person.

He stayed in Shucheng, which was a little far away from the front line, and worked with Liu Bei to take charge of the overall situation and help Liu Bei come up with ideas.

In ancient times, soldiers were indeed not allowed to bring their families and wives with the army, but this had nothing to do with Zhuge Jin, he was just guarding the city this time, and he didn't need to live in the barracks, and no one in the city could be placed.

When Xiaoqiao heard this, he was very worried, and couldn't help but ask: "Does the general want to take us to Shucheng as slaves?" ”

"You guys these days, pack up too." Zhuge Jin didn't answer positively, and after putting down this sentence, he withdrew his attention from the woman and began to ponder, "After seeing Liu Bei, how to organize the wording of the seal to condemn Huang Zu to the imperial court, and how to find Huang Zu guilty of wanting to add."

The two girls were a little trembling when they heard this, both the entanglement of being bound, and the expectation of curiosity or two, and they themselves couldn't tell what kind of mood they were in.

General Zhuge usually pays attention to the law, but people are indeed not bad.

And looking at the way he does things seriously, sometimes it is really very motivating to the people around him. Obviously, there are two stunning beauties waiting for him, but he is already thinking about national events that those beauties can't imagine at all.

As long as General Zhuge starts to think about business, no matter how stunning the beauty is, he can't interrupt his concentration.

Ohashi has never seen many men in his life, and he has never seen a man who is so serious.

……

A few days later, Gan Ning scolded and returned with his troops. When he saw Zhuge Jin, he was still angrily scolding Huang Zu for not talking about martial arts.

Zhuge Jin put wine for Gan Ning to catch the wind, said some soothing words to let him dissipate his anger, and it was not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for a few years, and then said that he would take Gan Ning to Shucheng first, preparing for the final general attack on the core hinterland of Yuan Shu.

Gan Ning was of course happy to have a new enemy to deal with, but he was still a little worried when he thought that Huang Zu had robbed him of a few counties:

"When we were fighting for territory with Huang Zu, it was inevitable that there would be some small frictions. Now that there are no heavy troops to defend the counties in the rear, what if our army's heavy troops move forward in large numbers, leaving a void on the flanks, and being taken advantage of by Huang Zu? ”

Zhuge Jin smiled directly: "Just leave some elite soldiers in Anhui City to defend it." In these small places of Xunyang and Songzi, there are no soldiers left, and it all depends on the local villagers.

Huang Zu robbed Yuan Shu's counties before, which is quite excusable, and we have to go to the imperial court to fight a war of words, so that we can justifiably trouble him. If he still dares to rob the counties that have been recovered by our army, it will destroy the overall situation of Yuan, and everyone in the world will be punished. ”

Zhuge Jin knew very well that before the fall of Yuan Shu, if there was an internal strife between the princes of Yuan, the party that provoked it first would definitely become a public enemy.

It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Jin does not have many troops for Wuhu County and other places in the rear, because Liu Bei also knows that Sun Ce does not want to become a national thief at this juncture, so a few thousand elite soldiers are enough to suppress the field.

Gan Ning pondered for a while, and felt that this was indeed the truth, Huang Zu should not be so bold, so he would no longer be entangled.

After the Ganning Department rested for a night, they left a part of the town to guard Anhui City, and Zhuge Jin and Gan Ning took 3,000 soldiers to Shucheng to meet Liu Bei.

The straight line from Wancheng to Shucheng is only 200 miles, but in fact, it is necessary to march along the Wanshui and Hangbu rivers, and the total distance is close to 300 miles.

Shucheng is still about 70 miles away from Hefei, and it is already the last strong stronghold before the attack on Hefei, so it is very suitable as a base camp for the attack on Hefei.

Zhuge Jin marched for six days before arriving in Shucheng, and this day was already the seventh day of the sixth month.

Liu Bei arrived many days earlier than him, and when he heard that Zhuge Jin and Gan Ning had come to meet him, Liu Bei personally went out of the city to greet him.

Counting the days, they haven't seen each other for more than three months. After all, Liu Bei's previous territory was too narrow and long, and the preparation period for war was very long, and it was necessary to assemble troops from all over the country for a long time in advance.

However, this time to take the Lujiang River and connect Yuzhang Danyang and Guangling together, it will be much more convenient to dispatch in the future, and there is no need to make a detour.

Liu Bei was very excited when he saw Zhuge Jin from afar, and took the initiative to greet him, Zhuge Jin and Gan Ning also quickly dismounted and stepped forward.

Liu Bei grabbed Zhuge Jin's arm and laughed heartily: "Ziyu! I didn't expect Ling to be able to attack faster and faster than Yun Chang! It's really surprising for my brother! Yun Chang for the first ten days, but he broke the mouth of the beard, broke the nest, and then entangled with the Chaohu thieves for a long time.

Your way, you can break through the Anhui Pass in two days, break the Anhui City in three days, and the march is only ten days, and you can reach Shucheng before Yun Chang. The city of Anhui is strong, but it is far more than other cities except Hefei, and it is broken by a drum, although the name of the ancient will not be able to carry on.

The momentum is like a bamboo, and it is easy to solve, this eight-character evaluation is really exquisite, and you can think of it casually, it is really both civil and military. ”

Zhuge Jin was a little embarrassed to be said, and said in his heart that the eight-character idiom he said casually, why did it spread so quickly, could it be that Liu Ye deliberately helped him speed up the spread?

It seems that it is necessary to be more cautious when referring to idioms that have not yet appeared in the future.

In order to avoid being too arrogant, Zhuge Jin had no choice but to organize the wording, and then changed the point to blow each other:

"Although our army broke through the fortified city quickly, it was not as large as Yun Chang's surrender. Hearing about the place where Yun Chang had broken, the enemy army surrendered one after another. And where I broke through, the enemy troops fled one after another, and even if they surrendered, it was mostly caused by being surrounded and captured by our troops, not from their own hearts. It seems that we will have to learn from each other in the future, and the more the better. ”

Liu Bei was also very happy when he heard this, Guan Yu's achievements were also what he was happy to see, so he nodded frequently from the bottom of his heart:

"Yun Chang is good at sympathizing with soldiers and winning the hearts of soldiers, and he is really outstanding in this regard, which is not comparable to others. I heard that Ziyu blindly used power this time, and the enemy army was afraid and scattered, and it was indeed difficult to ask them to surrender on their own initiative.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to use Enwei against the enemy, and it is also a natural reason. But Ziyu, you have always been a little powerful, and it is also a good thing to take this opportunity to raise your power. In this way, when conquest of other non-subordinate princes in the future, there will be prestige to be used. So that the enemy is not afraid of thy calculations, but not thy prestige. ”

After listening to these two sentences, Zhuge Jin also felt that he had gained a lot.

Indeed, prestige is such a thing as a "prestige" that can form a "prestige", and it is not only effective against the enemy in front of you. Accumulate a lot, and that's something that will benefit you for a lifetime.

In the later period of history, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang led troops to win consecutive battles, and a considerable part of them snowballed by accumulating power, and the enemy's will to resist was not so firm.

"Thank you for your teachings, I have benefited a lot from this." Zhuge Jin thanked him sincerely.

A few people chatted about the military situation, and soon entered the city, Liu Bei set up a reception banquet, and asked Zhuge Jin's attendants to find a mansion to settle down, and then began to talk about the follow-up military aircraft.

"Ziyu, the primary goal at the moment is to capture Hefei, do you have a clever plan?" Liu Bei just drank two glasses of wine, and his dependence was a little awakened, so he thought that Zhuge Jin was here, where could he still fight a tough battle, and he always had to play some tricks to reduce the difficulty.

However, Zhuge Jin smiled bitterly this time: "How can there be new strategies every time to attack the fortifications, and occasionally I still have to fight in a stupid battle, but before I went north from Anhui City this time, I have asked the navy to disassemble the tower cart used in the siege."

Take the Anhui River down the Yangtze River, to the mouth of the water and then north to Chaohu, you can go straight to the front line of Hefei, just because of the detour, it will be seven or eight days later than my 3,000 men and horses, but it can not be suddenly attacked. ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Seven or eight days is nothing, Yun Chang, Yide and Ziyi have just completed the siege now, and Hefei City still has a wide water trench formed by Xiaoyaojin to divert water, maybe seven or eight days later, Yun Chang has not filled in the road needed to attack the city."

By the way, there is one more thing, Ziyu, have you heard of it? Brother Ling was in Huaiyin, presiding over the winter wheat and summer harvest and rice seedling pulling and transplanting, which was very good. I heard that the rice seedlings have been planted for more than half a month, and most of them have survived.

Only two or three percent of them were inserted to death, and it is said that the farmer's skill was improper, and the seedling field was not irrigated enough when pulling the seedlings, and the soil could not be soft like thin mud, so the roots were injured by hard pulling. Ling Di ran around the two counties, personally mentioned the points, and temporarily promoted many old farmers who did a good job of pulling and transplanting seedlings, and temporarily distributed them to Lu rice, as village elders, and taught them everywhere.

This year, I finally figured out an important experience: the ground should be thoroughly watered when pulling and transplanting, and the mud should be thinned to make it easier to plug and pull. With this experience that does not hurt the roots, we will definitely be able to promote more places in the coming year and promote a bumper harvest, and we will be able to catch the victims who flowed out under Yuan Shu's rule.

Telling you this, it is nothing more than to inform you by the way: Brother Ling has already written a book, saying that he can complete the task of persuading farmers on the same day, and within half a month, he will be able to bring reinforcements from Huaiyin to Yicheng and reinforce Zilong's way. If we can take Hefei within a month, then we will meet with Zilong Shouchun and give Yuan Shu the final blow! ”

After Zhuge Jin listened, he mentally calculated the time, and it should be possible to take Hefei in a month. On Zhao Yun and the second brother's side, if they want to reach Shouchun, they have to face Qu Yang and Xia Cai first, and their troops are also insufficient, so it will definitely take a lot of time.

After knowing it in his heart, Zhuge Jin also knew how to arrange the preliminary rhythm of each node according to the new schedule - of course, the plan will definitely not be completed perfectly according to the node, and there will definitely be changes in the middle.

And Liu Bei saw that he was silent, and suddenly had a thought, and looked forward:

"Ziyu, do you think Yuan Shu will eventually be surrounded by us in Shouchun? There are still some counties in his land that have not been lost, and Runan is the old nest of the Yuan family, and it has a deep foundation.

Cao Cao had recently defeated Shang Cai, but Yuan Shu was still resisting. If the work of besieging and killing Yuan Shu is really built by us, the Han family will definitely be revived. ”

Zhuge Jin listened to this question, but his brows furrowed, he thought about it with reason, and replied: "The battle has reached this point, and Yuan Shu is in the territory of the pseudo-Huainan Yin, and there are only the two fortresses of Shouchun and Hefei, as well as the surrounding small counties of Quyang, Xia Cai, Yangyuan, and Chengde. There are six counties in total.

Of course, he can choose to live and die with these six counties and with the pseudo-capital. But from the perspective of interests, Yuan Shu's stubborn adherence to Shouchun is not beneficial to us. First, it will definitely make our attack more difficult, Yuan's army is constantly shrinking, and there must be tens of thousands of male soldiers in the city.

And if Yuan Shu died, his power would be destroyed in an instant, and Runan and Qiandi would no longer resist. Cao Cao holds the imperial court, and can directly absorb it in the name of the imperial court, we will definitely not be able to grab it, Cao Cao will have two more counties in an instant without blood.

If Yuan Shu was timid and did not have the courage to live and die with the city, he chose to retreat to Yuan's hometown in Runan to make a final struggle. Cao Cao couldn't take Runan quickly and completely, and maybe he could drag Cao Cao for half a year. Give us some other opportunities. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he touched his beard: "In this way, Hefei can be encircled and attacked on all sides, and once it is taken, for Shouchun, it should not be surrounded and attacked on all sides...... It's really hard to grasp this fighter plane. Well, if this is the case, we will discuss the rest after all roads have made progress. ”
