Huo Jun stayed in Wuhan for a few days, discussed Jianghuai military affairs with Liu Bei, and returned to Jiangling.

There are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xinan County, which are under the command of Huo Jun. Now that Huo Jun is going to Jianghuai, it is naturally impossible to take them all away. With Liu Bei's approval, Xu Sheng and Gao Xiang's two 5,000 elites, as well as Huo Jun's 5,000 troops, a total of 10,000 soldiers, will follow Zhenjiangbei.

At this time, he returned to the county government, arranged for his family to move back to Anhui City, and met with his subordinates to convey Liu Bei's official position of reward.

Pregnant Little Joe and her older sister Big Joe instruct the servants to carry their luggage in the courtyard.

Inside the house, the foot trainer packed up his clothes, was slightly dissatisfied, and said: "From Wancheng to Jiangling, I have lived for only one year, why do you want to go back to Wancheng now?" Yi'er is studying with Mr. Feng Xiao, and now in Jiangbei, who can be a teacher? ”

Huo Jun hugged Huo Yi in his arms and said with a smile: "Official promotions and changes in government affairs have to be done as a last resort. There is also a property in Wancheng, so why worry about having nowhere to go! ”

said, teased his son, and said with a smile: "Shiyuan is for talent, but there are also two wise men under the husband's account, Zihua and Zitong, why not worry about no one to teach." ”

Huo Jun is outside, busy with military and political affairs. It is often a foot trainer who runs the house, teaches Huo Yi, and helps the clansmen. However, as Huo Yi entered the age of study, he never thought that the step trainer would find Pang Tong as his teacher. It's a pity that after only a few months of teaching, Huo Yi had to follow Huo Jun to Anhui City.

The foot trainer frowned slightly, and said: "Zihua (Sima Zhi) is full of scriptures, a chaste person, or a teacher of Yi'er." Zitong (Jiang Ji) is good at wine and greedy for money, and the city government is deep, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be a teacher of Yi'er. ”

Huo Jun put his son down and said meaningfully: "Greed for money is not a big deal, if Yi'er can learn the learning of Zitong, the second generation of the Huo family should be prosperous in Yi'er!" ”

Huo Jun was not touting Jiang Ji, but through his contact with Jing Chu sergeants such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Pan Jun, he deeply felt that Jiang Ji's talent and reputation were underestimated.

Jiang Jineng has been very prosperous in history, has a close relationship with Sima Yi, and is deeply respected by Cao Pi and Cao Yi two generations of monarchs.

If Huo Yi really has Jiang Ji's ability, it will not be a problem to provoke Huo's girders. Even if Huo Yi is not successful, Huo Jun still has a backhand to ensure the prosperity of Huo's lintel.

The step trainer thought for a while, and said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that Yi'er can look like Mr. Zihua, he is a filial piety, which is rare in the world!" ”

"Everything!"

Huo Jun saw his son running out, hugged the gradually bulging abdomen of the foot trainer, and said with a smile: "If Yi'er is not successful, isn't there another one in the belly of Madame!" ”

As he spoke, he bit his earlobe, which was as white as jade, and muttered: "If it doesn't work, a few more will be done!" ”

"Nasty!"

"Haha!"

Not only Xiao Qiao is pregnant, but also the step trainer and Li Qian. Only Da Qiao looked at Huo Jun with blank eyes, she also longed to be a mother.

Playing is playing, Huo Jun still has something to deal with.

In the main hall, Pang Tong said goodbye to Huo Jun and said: "Thank you ~ for the recommendation, the general will rush to Wuhan to meet the lord." ”

Huo Jun sat on the couch and said with a smile: "There is no recommendation, with Shiyuan's talent, it is like a cone in the bag, and the edge will be revealed sooner or later, why wait for Jun to recommend you!" ”

With the fame touted by Pang Tong in Jingchu, whether it is to join Liu Qi or serve Liu Bei, he can get a good deal. However, he was always unmoved, and served as a gong cao in Nanjun, covering or waiting for the general trend.

Now that the general trend has been revealed, Pang Tong did not hesitate, and after receiving Huo Jun's recommendation, he was ready to go straight to Wuhan to meet Liu Bei.

"However, the feelings of the king's recommendation will not be forgotten." Pang Tong said: "The strategy of enterprising Bashu should be detailed about the affairs of Yang Han. ”

During Huo Jun's reign in Nanjun, the Yang family of Guanghan County came to the door to discuss the sale of Shu brocade. Now that Liu Bei is in charge of Wu Chu, Yang Han, the head of the Yang family, bets on Liu Bei and shows Huo Jun that if Liu Bei enters Shu, he is willing to raise thousands of people to help.

Yang Han, whose name is Jixun, during the reign of Liu Zhang, occupied the Tuojiang River with his subordinates and controlled the Jinkou of the Turtle Ling Gorge, and he was also a person who thought of chaos and sought nobility.

As for the Tuojiang River, it is also called the Neijiang River, and the Fujiang River and the Minjiang River are called the three rivers in Shuzhong.

The three rivers in Shu are all tributaries of the Yangtze River, and they want to take Shu in Badi, and only take the three rivers to Chengdu. The Waijiang Minjiang River takes the outer line from Nan'an (Leshan City) to Chengdu, the Neijiang Tuojiang River goes from Han'an (Neijiang City) to Chengdu, and the Zhongjiang Fujiang River takes the Dianjiang River (Hejiang) to Chengdu.

Historically, Liu Bei attacked Chengdu from Zhongjiang, Zhao Yun attacked Chengdu from Waijiang, and Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei attacked Chengdu from Neijiang. Three rivers are parallel, and Liu Zhang is surrounded in Chengdu.

"Yes!" Huo Jun smiled and said: "The matter of entering Shu, the people in the state capital have a lot of discussions, and Wang Shiyuan is reluctant. ”

Liu Bei peeped into Yizhou and ordered Zhang Fei and Lu Yi to be stationed in Yidu, and the intention of entering the west was obvious, and people of insight could see it.

Pang Tong wanted to become Liu Bei's advisor and minister, and he had to offer the strategy of taking Bashu from the west as his strength. However, Liu Bei of the present time is not the Liu Bei of the old time, and people of insight can see that Liu Bei is peeping into Yizhou, how can they not know that Bashu is their last opportunity to make contributions.

Since Huo Jun left Wuhan, Fa Zheng has followed Liu Bei's side every day, persuading Liu Bei to prepare to march into Bashu as soon as possible. Therefore, it is not as easy as history for Pang Tong to take the position, and he must come up with real materials. Yang Han is a local tyrant and secretly attached, and may be able to become one of Pang Tong's bargaining chips.

Looking at the back of Pang Tong leaving, Huo Jun had a playful face.

Liu Bei knows very well that a radish is a pit, and promoting Lu Su to serve as the assassin of Jiaozhou is not to send Lu Su to Lingnan, but to let Lu Su brush up his merits. In addition to Jiaozhou, Yizhou is the only place that is easy to gnaw on the turf, and involution will be the theme of Liu Bei's next martial arts.

Judging from Liu Bei's current personnel appointment, as expected by Huo Jun, those who enter Shu should be Zhang Fei first, supplemented by his son-in-law Lu Xun, with young and middle-aged generals.

Shaking his head, he scattered the distracting thoughts in his mind, and entering Shu was not something he was worried about. Now he thinks more about how to attack Hefei, which is his core task.

Huo Jun sorted out the task at hand and instructed: "Shizai, you go to Jiangbei first and draw a detailed map of Hefei, which is indispensable!" ”

"No!"

After receiving the order, Deng Fan hesitated for a long time, and said: "Fan was raised by his father since he was a child, and now he has been favored by his father and is worthy of the lord's daughter. Since Fan thought about it, he was terrified and could not repay him. I hope that my father will agree, Fan is willing to change his surname, serve his father in front of the bed, love his children and sisters, and rejuvenate my Huo's lintel. ”

Huo Jun raised his eyebrows and asked: "Now that you have joined the Huo family, you should abandon the surname Deng in the future, and you will never sacrifice to the Deng family, and it will be difficult to succeed as the lord of your father." Probably from no? ”

Deng Fan knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, father." In the chaos of this world, the soldiers are everywhere, and I am the son of the Huo family, and I should have the heart of serving in the army. How can I get the grace of my father and fall into the ambition of my son. ”

"Good!"

Huo Jun bowed slightly, and said: "From now on, you will be my son and my Huo clan." ”

"No!" Huo Fan replied.

Many years ago, Huo Jun accepted Deng Fan as his righteous son, purely on a whim. If it is not successful, joining the army will become his own part. If it is a finished instrument, it is another matter.

After being trained by his master Sima Zhi, Deng Fan did not attach as much importance to fame and fortune as in history, but more like Sima Zhi's filial piety to his mother, and he also had a deep sense of nurturing grace for Huo Jun.

After Huo Fan retreated, Huo Jun looked at Jiang Ji who was sitting on the side of the couch, frowned and asked, "Is this from Zitong's words?" ”

Jiang Ji stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General doesn't want to be the beauty of others?" If the lord marries a daughter, if he marries a son surnamed Deng, he must marry a son surnamed Huo. ”

Sure enough, as Huo Jun expected, Deng Fan's request to change his surname came from Jiang Ji's request.

"Deng Fan is talented, intelligent, familiar with military strategy, and has a promising future. Wouldn't it be a pity to treat him only as a righteous son, so why not take this as an opportunity to accept him as an heir. The general is from the army and can be a close confidant. Jiang Ji said.

Jiang Ji is not unreasonable, Liu Bei is not married to a daughter, but a political statement. As a subordinate Huo Jun, no matter what, he must also show his attitude, and changing his surname is one of the replies to the message.

Huo Jun shook his head and sighed: "Zitong, his mind is delicate, Jun can't reach it. I wanted to recommend Zitong and the lord several times, but I was not willing to give up Zitong's resourcefulness. ”

Sima Zhi and Jiang Ji belong to Huo Jun's right and left hands, one is in charge of politics and the other is in charge of the army, and after getting along for many years, they are also integrated into Huo Jun's career. Once stripped off, Huo Jun couldn't find anyone else to replace.

Jiang Ji smiled and said, "The lord has a lot of talents, why do you need help!" It's better to be at the side of the general, with money and wine. ”

Huo Jun's Fengyi is not just for him to enjoy, he is using the Yiyi to subsidize Jiang Ji, Sima Zhi, Liu Zhong and other officials. Their little salary is not enough for their expenses?

However, what Jiang Ji said was not true, how could he be compared with the future of following Huo Jun and Liu Bei. Therefore, in order to compensate Jiang Ji, Huo Jun asked Liu Bei for him for an official position of leading Jiujiang Taishou.

Huo Jun pondered a little and asked: "Jinjun will be far away from Jianghuai, and Zitong will be the Taishou of Jiujiang, I don't know if there is a plan to go to Hefei?" ”

Jiang Ji pondered for a long time and said: "Although Hefei City is small and strong, it is far away from the lonely Jianghuai, and it is not difficult to overcome it. Ji thought that if the two things could be accomplished, the general would break Hefeier! ”

"Please!" Huo Jun's face was constricted, and he asked.

"First, Hefei City is small, but there are Cao Xiao generals to defend it, there are thousands of soldiers, and the generals need to surround the enemy army in the city; Second, Hefei is an outpost of Shouchun and besieges Hefei. Shouchun must be saved, Cao Cao must be rescued, and the general needs to retreat Cao Cao to reinforce. ”

"Siege Hefei, retreat reinforcements, break the city into it!" Huo Jun understood Jiang Ji's meaning and said.

"Exactly!"

Jiang Ji said: "If you want to break Hefei, Ji Thief thinks that this is the only way!" ”

Don't look at the three steps proposed by Jiang Ji, it seems that it is not difficult to do, but Sun Shiwan can't even do the first step, leaving other names for Cao generals such as Jiang Yiyi, Zhang Babai, and Man Baibai under Hefei City.

"Good!" Huo Jun nodded and thought about it, and said, "Jun knows the meaning of Zitong, and let me think about it." ”

"Go to Jianghuai, there are a lot of housework, and I will retire!" Jiang Ji arched his hand and said.

Seeing that Jiang Ji wanted to leave, Huo Jun admonished: "Zitong, you are free and give more guidance!" ”

"No!"
