"Husband, Jianghuai is cold in winter, or there is snow, don't catch a cold."

Xiao Qiao packed Huo Jun's luggage, folded the big rice and felt, and put them in the box. On the side of the study, the step trainer was packing up the books, pen and ink, and towels, and putting these daily necessities into the box. The second daughter packed up and packed at least five wooden boxes for Huo Jun.

Taking advantage of Xiao Qiao's bending over, Huo Jun stretched out his hand and patted his round buttocks, and then hugged Xiao Qiao's waist.

Xiao Qiao glanced in the direction of the study, pulled Huo Jun's hand, and said with a red face, "Madame is still outside." ”

Smelling Xiao Qiao's fragrance, Huo Jun smiled and said, "Madame is kind-hearted, what are you afraid of?" ”

Having said that, Huo Jun still let go of Xiao Qiao's waist.

Xiao Qiao said resentfully: "The husband will leave, and the concubine and son will stay in the house, can An be fearless?" ”

The wife has a natural deterrent to the concubine, although the foot trainer is friendly, Xiao Qiao does not dare to guarantee that the foot trainer will not wear small shoes for her. After all, she had just given birth to a son, and if the step trainer was jealous because of this, she would have nothing to say.

Huo Jun smiled and said, "After your husband leaves Anhui City, you will move to Wuhan, and Mr. Kong Ming has prepared a house for my Huo family outside the city." ”

"Why is that?" Xiao Qiao frowned slightly and asked, "But the husband is leading the army to go out, and the lord is worried that the husband has a heavy army, so he thinks his family is blackmailing?" ”

"The generals leave the town of the enemy, and the family stays in the capital, whether it is Cao Cao or Xuande Gong, it is the same. As a general, how can I not be with the generals? ”

Picking up Xiao Qiao's fine hair, Huo Jun said: "Xuande is benevolent and kind, not the same as Cao Cao." And Wuhan is noisy and prosperous, the treasures of Jiaoyue, the brocade silk of Bashu, everything, and the prosperity is even more Jiangling. And there are many noble ladies in Wuhan, and they can occasionally make friends. ”

With the expansion of Liu Bei's territory, coupled with the repulsion of Cao Cao this time, he further established his prestige. Liu Bei promulgated the system of generals leaving the town and their families staying in Wuhan.

Huo Jun, as the first military general under Liu Bei's account, and the commander of the Jianghuai Theater, if he does not take the lead, this order will inevitably be difficult to implement.

As for the fact that Wuhan is more prosperous than Jiangling, this is true. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other high-level Wu Chu officials moved to Wuhan, coupled with tens of thousands of Chinese troops stationed outside Wuhan, and the iron ore around Wuhan was excavated, and so on, bringing a large number of people to Wuhan, and merchants gathered with it.

Jiangling was burned down twice by fire, and lost its status as a political center, so the economic situation was naturally inferior to that of Wuhan.

"No!"

Listening to Huo Jun's arrangement, Xiao Qiao could only respond weakly.

"Husband, Yi'er is in the lord's mansion and accompanies his son to study Zen?"

The foot trainer didn't know when he entered the bedroom from the study, and said worriedly: "I don't know what the character of Gongzi Zen is, if he is a gentleman, I am afraid that he will bring bad Yi'er!" ”

"The lord is very strict with his son, and since the death of his mother, Mrs. Gan, he has been raised by Mrs. Mi, and the discipline is not bad. And the teachers of learning are mostly Wu Chu celebrities, such as Ge Jun Kongming, Zhang Junzibu, Wang Jun Zhongxuan, hundreds of schools, and second-rate Confucianism. ”

As he spoke, Huo Jun held the soft hand of the foot trainer and said with a smile: "A good teacher teaches knowledge, and Mrs. teaches morality." Why worry about Yi'er not being successful? ”

Huo Yi became Liu Chan's companion, and Huo Jun was only happy, but not dissatisfied. Not to mention that Liu Chan will most likely be the heir in the future, just talking about Huo Yi in history, after his death, he was raised by Liu Bei in the house. After going through hardships, he eventually became the governor of Nanzhong of Shu Han. Now that Huo Yi has become Liu Chan's companion, he will only be stronger than history, not weaker than history.

"I hope so!"

The foot trainer sorted out Huo Jun's collar and said softly: "Fujun is on an expedition to Jianghuai, sitting in the army, you should avoid arrows, and you can't go to danger." The wives and concubines and heirs are all in Wuhan waiting for the triumph. ”

"Remember it for your husband!"

After exchanging heartfelt feelings with his wife and concubine, Huo Jun took a boat from Anhui City, went down the river, went out of the night, and rushed to prepare for war. Four generals, Zhao Yun, He Qi, Huang Zhong, and Hao Pu, led 30,000 soldiers and also rushed to Dongguan to assemble.

The 30,000 sergeants sent by Liu Bei were all elite, old and weak, and the number of the four generals was also uneven. Ruhe Qi has the largest number of soldiers and horses, with as many as 10,000 people. Gainhe Qi is a general of Sun Wu, and there are a lot of soldiers and horses when he surrenders.

Huang Zhong, as an old general under Liu Qi's account, has not changed the number of soldiers and horses under his command, and has six or seven thousand people under his jurisdiction. Hao Pu had the least number of soldiers and horses, belonging to the standard battalion of 5,000 men. Zhao Yun led the Chinese army to come with about 8,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhao Yun's troops and horses are not restricted, as he assists Liu Bei in taking charge of the Chinese army, the number of soldiers and horses depends on Liu Bei's meaning.

Dongguan, Beifu military camp.

In the big tent, Ma Liang read out the appointment of Huo Jun, presented the talisman with both hands, and said: "This is the talisman festival, the general holds the festival, such as the lord and the lord himself, the general who violates the order, the official who bends the law, does not need to report, the general can take care of himself." ”

The rune, eight feet long, is decorated with red feathers. Huo Jun is the first general under Liu Bei's account to fake the festival, and now he is the only one, which shows how honorable Huo Jun is!

Zhang Fei, who led his troops into Hanzhong, was the main general, but he was constrained by the deputy general Lu Xun and the military advisor Pang Tong, and many things could be done without wanting to.

Huo Jun stretched out his hand to take the talisman and said in a deep voice: "I will live up to the favor of the lord." ”

Ma Liang took a few steps back, arched his hand and said, "Liang greets the governor!" ”

With Ma Liang's leadership, Mi Fang, Zhao Yun, He Qi, Gao Xiang, Huo Du and others bowed their hands to express their respect for Huo Jun.

Huo Jun sat on the couch, and Huo Fan stood behind.

Looking around at the generals standing in the tent, Huo Jun said: "Cao Cao transferred to Guanzhong, far away from Jianghuai, and now is the time to use force in Hefei. On the order of the lord, the governor led more than 50,000 people to set up a northern expedition. I hope that all of you will work together, do not slack off, and if you slack off, you should do it according to military law. ”

"No!" The crowd will respond solemnly.

"Sit down!"

Seeing that everyone was available, Huo Jun beckoned everyone to take their seats and said: "Although Hefei is small, the city is strong, and there are fierce generals in charge. Since the governor thought deeply, it was the next step to storm the city. ”

He Qi pondered for a while and said, "Dudu, if you can't attack it, why should you break the city." General Mo Fei wanted to lure the enemy into battle and frustrate the enemy's troops in order to Hefei. ”

"Yes and no!"

Huo Jun smiled and said: "Hefei is strong, and the governor wants to surround Hefei, break the reinforcements, and lose the enemy's morale in order to take the city." ”

"Governor, the three generals Zhang, Li, and Zhu are not ordinary generals, they are all people who can fight well. If our army surrounds Hefei, the enemy reinforcements are coming, sometimes there are enemy soldiers outside, there are sharp soldiers inside, and under the internal and external attacks, our army may be defeated. He Qi said worriedly.

"Shangyu map!"

"No!"

Under Huo Jun's orders, the attendants pulled out the curtain and revealed the map of the Jianghuai region.

Huo Jun bent his knees, pointed to the map, and said: "Hefei is far away from Jianghuai, when Hefei is besieged, Jianghuai will raise troops and horses to help." For example, Runan, Qiaojun, Xiapi, Donghai and other counties, as well as the soldiers and horses of Henan, Yan, and Xuzhou, will move south to support Hefei, and the reinforcements will be no less than 50,000 or 60,000. ”

"As General He said, Jianghuai reinforcements are coming, Hefei has sharp soldiers, internal and external attacks, our army will be defeated. Therefore, our army needs to disperse the enemy's reinforcements, making it difficult to gather heavy troops in the Jianghuai area. When Cao's army came to help, our army could swallow it; When the enemy comes to help, our army can also break it. ”

Hefei was besieged, Henan, Yan, and Xu sent troops to rescue, and the Central Plains soldiers and horses gathered as no less than Huo Jun's soldiers. Coupled with the army in Hefei City, it was difficult for Huo Jun to win. Therefore, Huo Jun wanted to disperse the forces of the three states, so that they could not form a heavy army, so as to go south to rescue

The generals looked at each other, and they could understand what Huo Jun said. However, how to cross the hundreds of miles of Jianghuai region and disperse the forces of the three states is a big problem.

Huo Jun seemed to be able to know everyone's doubts, and drew an arc on the map with his hand, pointing to Yuzhou Island, and said: "Many years ago, Jun crossed the sea to Yuzhou Island and moved back to the people of Xuzhou. If you want to contain Xuzhou Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others, you should go north when the floating sea is in the sea. ”

In this way, the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou were pinned, and under the emergency of Hefei, only the people near Jianghuai were available. When the Shouchun people are broken, and the defenders of Hefei are defeated, then the city can be down! ”

Five years ago, Huo Jun was only too punctual in Poyang, and he once led his men and horses to the north of the sea and stationed in Yuzhou to rescue Changfeng in Donghai County. At this time, Huo Jun moved to Jianghuai to cut down Hefei, if he did not use this route to contain the reinforcements of Xuzhou, it would be a pity.

The reinforcements in Xuzhou were pinned, and in the short term, Cao Cao could only send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Huai River valley south to rescue Hefei, which was the number of enemy troops that Huo Jun could face. Huo Jun took advantage of this time difference to take Hefei City.

After a pause, Huo Jun commanded: "Where are Chang Feng and Mi Fang?" ”

"The last general!"

The two of them came out of the table and bowed their hands.

In order to avoid Mi Fang's timidity, Huo Jun asked, "Donghai County, the homeland of the two of you." This governor ordered the two of you to lead the army north to Yuzhou, and use the boat to attack Xuzhou, I don't know if you two dare? ”

Mi Fang, a native of Donghai, Xuzhou. He once went to Yuzhou with Huo Jun, and also led the army to open up a sea route from Jiangdong to Liaodong; Changfeng, the old East China Sea Taishou, most of his sergeants are from Xuzhou, familiar with the terrain of Xuzhou. The two of them went north as a partial army to harass the Xuzhou seashore, and no one in the army was more suitable than the two of them.

"Since it is the order of the governor, how can Fang not dare!" Mi Fang said.

"The last will go!" Chang Feng responded.

"Good!"

Huo Jun issued a military order and said: "This governor ordered the two of you to float north to Yuzhou, take Yuzhou as a camp, attack the Xuzhou seashore, and contain the Xuzhou troops. However, we should not fight against a strong enemy, but we should advance when the enemy advances, and we retreat when the enemy retreats. In the army, Mi Danyang is the mainstay, supplemented by Chang Guangling. ”

Mi Fang took the military order and asked, "Dare to ask the governor, how long?" Fang needs to prepare grain and grass for the big ship. ”

Huo Jun pondered a little and said, "Prepare half a year's worth of food." Half a year old, regardless of whether Hefei is grammed or not, the two of you can return south on schedule. ”

In his eyes, once the war falls into a long-term battle, the morale of the sergeants will inevitably drop seriously, and the probability of victory is not high. And the enemy army can also react and arrange the strategy more calmly.

Therefore, Huo Jun admired the immovable and amazing combat method, and the core should be to catch the enemy off guard.

"No!"

With the deadline, Mi and Chang were at ease.

"Where is Zhao Yun?" Huo Jun commanded.

"The last general!"

"Ben Governor has commanded you to be the vanguard and open the way for the army." Huo Jun said.

"No!" Zhao Yun received the military order to retreat.

"Where is Yu Shao?"

"The last general!"

"This governor has ordered you to be responsible for the arrangement of the scouts of the army, and you must listen to the military situation of Shouchun clearly, and there must be no mistakes!" Huo Jun said.

"No!" Yu Shao retreated with a military order.

Huo Jun stroked his sword and looked at everyone, and said: "The rest of the generals, follow this governor to cross Chaohu Lake and come to Hefei City!" ”

The generals got up from their seats and responded in unison: "The last general is ordered!" ”
