On Beigu Mountain, Huo Jun stood on the peak, his hand decorated with gauntlets resting on the hilt of his sword, and his bright eyes were staring at the surging river. When the river breeze blew on his face, the elegant embroidered robe hunted sounded, revealing the armor that was brewing cold air, and with Huo Jun's heroic appearance, the Confucian general felt spontaneous.

It's a pity that Huo Jun's style is well placed, but there is a lack of photographers to shoot it, and then Huo Dudu is in the headlines. Like the five-star general Emperor Mai, he didn't fight well, but he knew how to market, and newspapers and periodicals were always indispensable to Emperor Mai.

Now in the chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty, Huo Dudu wants to leave a name for eternity, and can only pin his hopes on the praise of the literati of the past dynasties.

Standing with his sword stroking, Huo Jun saw the beauty of the river, and his heart was proud, and he chanted: "The vast nine factions flow through China, and the heavy line runs through the north and south. The smoke and rain are reckless, and the turtle and snake lock the river~"

When it came to the word Jiang, Huo Jun forgot the follow-up poems, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. The poems of the ancestors are heroic and majestic, and even those who know a little about poetry can read the vastness of their hearts.

Jiang Ji led the generals and walked behind Huo Jun, and praised and said: "The poems recited by the governor are not in accordance with the rhythm, and the words rhyme. But in the meantime, the words are magnificent, with rivers and earth, which is refreshing. It's a pity that I didn't get the whole poem, which is a pity in the world. ”

Huo Jun saw that everyone was here, and sighed: "This poem is not written by Jun, but by Jun's teacher, when Mao Gong was touring Jiangxia." Seeing the vastness of the river today, I can't help but chant, but unexpectedly, Jun has forgotten. ”

Jiang Ji was full of admiration and praised him: "The name of Master Mao, Ji has heard a little, and he has passed on the Book of Songs." Today, I heard the masterpiece of Master Mao, and I was deeply respected. If the world is peaceful, he should be able to enter the world with the talent of Mao, and write poems to become famous in the world. ”

Huo Jun smiled and said nothing, when the peace is peaceful, the class is solidified, and even if it is a talented person, it is difficult to have a chance to get ahead. He himself is an example, if the world is peaceful, at most the official will be a county official, if he wants to become a Taishou or a general, he first depends on whether he is a wealthy family or a famous teacher.

"How is it in Kyoguchi Castle?" Huo Jun asked, "Has the war subsided?" ”

Gao Xiang took a step out of the crowd and said: "Governor Qiyu, with the surrender of the soldiers led by Sun Yu and Sun Shao, and with the cooperation of Cai Yu, Lu Xu and other Jiangzuo generals, Xiang was ordered by the governor to clear the rebellious army, and the war in the city has subsided. ”

Last night's attack on Jingkou Castle not only caused a battle between the two armies, but also a camp roar in the Jiangdong military camp. Under the influence of the two, the castle of Kyoguchi was in chaos, and the families of the soldiers living in the city were harassed. Under the pressure of Gao Xiang's subordinates, Jingkou City restored law and order.

"All the few routs who fled out of the city have also been captured by our cavalry, and have not been left in the countryside to cause trouble to the people." Shiren arched his hand and said.

After finding the stone, Huo Jun sat on the stone face and asked, "How many soldiers have been captured today?" ”

Jiang Ji took out a bamboo slip from his cuff and handed it over, and said, "Ji has a rough count of the population, and the rest of the armor, baggage, bow and crossbow and other ordnance baggage are still being sorted out. ”

"More than 2,000 people were beheaded, and more than 6,500 soldiers were captured." Huo Jun turned over and saw that the bamboo slip read "More than 3,600 families of soldiers have been captured."

Jiang Ji explained: "The governor of Qiyu, the city of Jingkou is small, and Sun Yu only placed the family of the old man in the city to calm the hearts of the old man. ”

Huo Jun handed the bamboo slip back to Jiang Ji and asked, "What does Zitong think should be done with the captured soldiers in Jingkou City today?" ”

The surrender of more than 6,000 troops and the large number of surrenders seem to be a good thing, but it is also a disadvantage. In addition to the consumption of the population, the guards also need manpower. Today, Huo Jun has 7,000 soldiers and horses in Jingkou City, and in terms of numbers, there is not much difference from the number of Jiangdong troops who surrendered in this battle. Therefore, for the Jingzhou army, which still has to fight next, the surrender of more than 6,000 troops is also a troublesome matter to deal with.

Jiang Ji pondered for a while and said: "Governor Qiyu, Ji thought that the new soldiers were all people from the counties of Danyang County, and now they are in the army, but they were forcibly recruited into the army by Sun Yu. In the opinion of Ji, it is better for the governor to be gracious, put all the new soldiers back to the township, and reward them with money and food, in the name of the governor's kindness. ”

"At that time, all counties will hear the power of the governor, and know the benevolence and righteousness of the governor. The governor ordered people to spread the county and township, and the counties in the south of the Yangtze River will return to the wind to welcome my Jingzhou soldiers and horses. ”

Huo Jun took Jingkou and opened up the Dantu Waterway, which does not mean that he can directly enter Taihu Lake. After all, Jingkou and Taihu Lake are still separated by hundreds of miles, and there are a large number of county seats. Such as Shicheng, Wuhu, Danyang, Hushu, Jurong, Jiangcheng and other more than ten counties.

If Huo Jun easily penetrates, there are people loyal to the Sun clan who rebel and cut off the Dantu waterway, and the back road of the sailor is cut off, and he will fall into a situation where he cannot advance or retreat, which is very dangerous.

Therefore, the first priority, as Jiang Ji said, is to recruit rebels and let the counties surrender. And there is still an army of Zang Ba in Jiangbei, eyeing the tiger. If you don't solve your worries, how dare Huo Jun go deep into Taihu Lake in Wu County!

Huo Jun bowed slightly, and said: "What Zitong said is very in line with the reason of the soldiers, and the captured new soldiers can follow Zitong's words and distribute money and food, so that they can return to their hometowns and live in peace." ”

After a pause, Huo Jun asked: "The old soldier in Jiangdong is good at water warfare, and now he has a family member in hand, so he can barely use it." You can have Jiangdong Liang General to recommend, Jun wants to let him command the old department, for our army to fight on the battlefield. ”

To put it simply, Huo Jun's account was understaffed, and with an army of 10,000 people, he could not only guard the Lujiang River and protect the Yangtze River, but also send troops south to Wu County to fight.

Gan Ning pondered a little, and arched his hand and said: "Governor Qiqi, Ning has a lot of fights with Jiang Zuo's generals, and I think Sun Shao can use it." ”

"Huh?"

"Sun Shao, whose surname is Yu, is from the Sun clan because of his uncle Sun He. Sun He, Sun Jian, Sun Ce's old department, the old Lujiang Taishou, because of the two of them and Dai Yuan, died in Danyang. Sun Shao collected the rest of Sun River and ruled Jingkou to defend against foreign enemies. Today, the layout in the city of Jingkou is mostly in the hands of Sun Shao. The governor wants to use the old pawn of Jiangdong, and Sun Shao may be competent. ”

After pacing for a while, Huo Jun asked, "Where are Sun Yu and Sun Shao today?" ”

"Now at the foot of the mountain." Jiang Ji said.

"Let the two of them go up the mountain!" Huo Jun said: "Sun Yu is the Taishou of the Lujiang River, and he should be courteous to surrender to our army today." ”

"No!"

In the middle of the sound, Sun Yu and Sun Shao walked up the mountain and said respectfully: "The general of the defeated army, I have seen General Huo." ”

Before the two of them met Huo Jun, they were taken by his military talents, and now they have an incredible feeling when they see a real person.

Too young!

Under the age of thirty, it is beyond their imagination to be able to command such a campaign. And Huo Jun is heroic and cheerful, and he has the demeanor of a Confucian general in his gestures, which can't help but make the two of them feel admiration.

"You two may be seated!"

Huo Jun sat on the horse, raised his hand and said, "You can worry about the lives of the soldiers and lead the army to surrender, Jun is grateful. ”

"Don't dare!" Sun Yu smiled bitterly: "Although I am not a general's arrogant strategy, but the general is like a divine soldier descending from the sky, what can Yu do if he does not surrender?" ”

"Huh!"

Seeing that Sun Yu was still in the dark, the generals laughed a few times.

Huo Jun motioned for someone to serve tea, and said with a smile: "The general's beacon tower strategy, the strict garrison of Jingkou, also gave Jun a headache for a few days." ”

"Just a few days to give the general a headache?" Sun Yu asked in surprise.

Huo Jun smiled and said, "To be precise, Jun only had a headache for two days, and then he thought of a strategy to break the city. ”

"Two days!"

Sun Yu and Sun Shao said with incredulous faces.

"Can the general solve our confusion!" Sun Shao arched his hand and said.

"The beacon tower is a hundred miles long, and it is not without its flaws. The strategy of arrogance and ordering the soldiers to evacuate from the mouth of the river is to restore the transportation of the general and Jianghuai. When Cao Yun recovered, Jun ordered his soldiers to disguise themselves as grain teams and successfully attack the beacon tower...... Huo Jun explained.

"Then why is there no news from the beacon tower in Beigushan, and there is no response from the checkpoint on the river?" Sun Shao asked.

Huo Jun smiled and said, "The grain team took advantage of the night to pass through the river outpost and ship to the foot of Beigu Mountain. Beigu Mountain is dangerous but not high, with a rhubarb strong crossbow, with a flying hook as an arrow, after tying a rope, shoot to the mountain. He also ordered the pawn who was good at climbing, and went up the ladder to break the beacon tower of Beigu Mountain. ”

"The beacon tower and gram, and know the details of the sentry card, order people to attack and kill, which is very convenient. The sentry post was captured, the beacon tower was captured, the Jingkou had no eyes and ears, and the soldiers lurked under the city, what was the difficulty! ”

"Miraculous!"

Listening to the details of the battlefield told by Huo Jun, Sun Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and said: "The general's soldiers are like Bai and Han, how can Yu be the opponent of the general." ”

Saying that, Sun Yu said with a wry smile: "Yu thought that he had seen through the general's arrogant strategy, and secretly congratulated himself in front of the generals, but he didn't expect the general's plan. ”

Huo Jun looked at Sun Yu and said with a smile: "Since the general has surrendered to our army, I don't know what plans he plans in the future?" ”

Sun Yu pondered a little and said: "Yu is willing to return to Xuchang with his family in the north, I don't know if the general is approved?" ”

In front of Xiangyang and Xuchang, Sun Yu is not a fool and will naturally choose Xuchang. Xuchang is the residence of the Han Emperor, as the orthodox official of the Han Dynasty, he did not go to Xuchang, but surrendered to Xiangyang, isn't there a problem with his brain.

And when he arrived in Xuchang, with the identity of Lujiang Taishou, he might not be able to mix up the official position of Jiuqing. After all, Sun Yu also realized that his talent was really not suitable for war, and it was good to serve in an idle official position.

Huo Jun nodded and said, "If Sun Zhongmiao surrenders, the state pastor is unwilling to let him go north. But the general intends to return to the north, and our army will not stop it. ”

Sun Quan is the de facto heir of Sun Ce, even if Huo Jun is willing to let him go to Cao Cao, Liu Biao is definitely unwilling. And Sun Ce's son, Liu Biao is estimated not to be released.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness!" Sun Yu arched his hand and said, "Yu doesn't dare to forget!" ”

"Hands up!" Huo Jun returned the salute and smiled: "When the mountains and rivers meet, I hope the general's northward journey will go smoothly." ”

Huo Jun and Sun Yu, opponents who were still fighting to the death the day before, can have a friendly conversation after the war, and can still let each other live, so there are still two Han Dynasty relics of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Then, Huo Jun turned his gaze to Sun Shao and said, "Ruojun is not mistaken, is the school captain surnamed Yu?" ”

Yu Shao was stunned and replied: "General Qiyu, Shao's old surname was Yu, and he later changed his surname with his uncle. ”

"Danyang Yu's Clan?"

"It's not Danyang, it's the Yu clan of Wu County." Yu Shao corrected.

"Hmm!"

Huo Jun raised his sword and said: "The Sun clan will move to Xuchang, and the captain is not a member of the Sun clan, so it is better to stay in Jiangzuo with his family." After all, the monarch's mother is old, and it is very inconvenient to run and migrate, far away from her relatives. ”

As he spoke, Huo Jun patted Yu Shao's shoulder and said, "The captain is known to be a general and a talented person. If you study diligently, you will be able to excel. If you return to the north today, you will have an idle official and waste your own talents, wouldn't it be a pity! ”

Between the words, Huo Jun undoubtedly revealed his importance to Yu Shao, and analyzed the pros and cons for Yu Shao's future.

Hearing this, Yu Shao was very happy in his heart, and no one wanted to leave his hometown and go to Xuchang. And he is not as good as Sun Ben, Sun Fu, and Sun Yu, they belong to the two thousand stone Taishou, and he is only a small captain.

Of course, what makes him happy is that Huo Jun, who is famous all over the world, thinks that he has a strategy and has the intention of cultivating him. Although Yu Shao is young, he also knows that this is his own opportunity, how can he easily let it go.

Yu Shao, who had already been subdued by Huo Jun, bowed his waist and said: "If the general does not give up, Shao is willing to enter the general's account and listen to the general's teachings." ”

"Good!"

Huo Jun helped Yu Shao up and said with a smile: "Jun is the captain of Chenglie, and now he has 1,500 people in the old department. ”

"Xie Dudu!"
