The last time they met, it was when they were discussing peace, although the two had a verbal conversation, Sun Qian was choked by Zhang Han, and he almost couldn't help but lose his temper.

This time, he became a defeated general again, how can he be brave.

Zhang Han waited on the stone steps in the lobby, showed a smile when he saw people, and nodded to Xi Zhicai from afar: "Sacrificial wine, you are here." ”

"I'm coming." Xi Zhicai also nodded lightly.

You shouldn't have come...... Zhang Han almost replied subconsciously, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed again, "Please come in." ”

Zhang Han made a gesture of invitation, but did not look at Sun Qian.

Next, he and Xi Zhicai talked about the grain and grass transported, as well as the situation before and after the war in Yanzhou.

Although there has been a military report, but listening to Zhang Han speak more clearly, Xi Zhicai's eyes were burning, sometimes laughing, sometimes sighing, and finally talking about the strategy of attacking Xu now, which was proposed by Xun Yu in the court, and the other two of their henchmen and advisers all seconded it.

"Mr. Wen Ruo's strategy just took advantage of Yanzhou's victory in counterinsurgency, and threw this disaster to Tao Qian again," Zhang Han said with joy on his face, "It just so happens that Tao Qian also wants to find someone to carry this black pot at this time, and he will definitely weigh it." ”

"The more chaotic the situation in Xuzhou, the stronger my Yanzhou becomes."

Zhang Han's face was quite expectant, the corners of his mouth were grinning, his eyes were bright, and he stretched out his finger on the desk and knocked slightly, "Xu Yan and the two states are one and the other, and when the autumn harvest comes, Xia Pi can be captured, just that, when the autumn comes to September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom!" ”

Good verses.

Sun Qian, who was kneeling beside Xi Zhicai, suddenly opened his eyes, the autumn chrysanthemums bloomed, the flowers withered, and only the winter plum could be proud of the snow.

Accumulate military rations, nourish essence, and accumulate sharpness, so as to attack Xu after the autumn harvest, Xuzhou at that time was declining, why? This year's Chen Yuanlong did not stay in office for long, because of the continuous war, most of the farmland was deserted; It's only April, and it's already a hot day, and the harvest can be predicted.

Xuzhou is difficult to win, but Yanzhou is also affected by the drought of the dry land, and there will be a poor harvest, once the war is started, the people of the two places will be killed and injured countless times, and it is not surprising that they will starve for thousands of miles.

It's all hard, and it's hard to say who will win.

Sun Qian listened from the sidelines, and the two Cao Ying's advisers did not talk to him heart-to-heart, and they didn't even say anything about solicitation, but Zhang Han saluted him when he came in, and he hadn't said a second sentence to him alone.

But this is the case, but Sun Qian felt that every word they said was soliciting, so he secretly smiled bitterly and listened more seriously......

mentioned Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai's expression was proud and his eyes became excited at this time, and he briefly forgot to praise Zhang Hanyin's poem, and said: "Wen Ruo does have vision!" It deserves to be him. ”

"After the elders of Yingchuan back then, I only looked down on one Xun Wenruo in his generation."

He is a very arrogant person, although his background and reputation are not good, and he has a sense of laziness and scoundrel in the village, but it does not prevent him from being arrogant.

"If you want to pick carefully, there is also a relative of Wen Ruo, but this person is more than bold, lacks vision, mistrusts others, Dong thief and friends plotted assassination when he was in power, was leaked and defeated, and was imprisoned to die, if it weren't for the Dong Alliance approaching Luoyang and causing Dong thief to move the capital, he would have died by now."

Well, Xun Yu, Xun Gongda, Xun Yu's nephew, but he is older than Xun Yu, but his seniority is lower.

Zhang Han pondered a little in his heart, and he understood who the sacrificial wine was talking about, but he was also Wang Zuozhicai, but it has not been revealed now, as for the assassination plan, it is only a little disclosed, and it is not evaluated.

"As for Guo Tu, a mediocre person, no one in his eyes, he only knows how to talk loudly, not a sage in the world, Wen Ruozhi can enter the hall, and he is outside the corridor! Under the stone stairs too! Xi Zhicai unceremoniously pointed at the courtyard outside the lobby.

Then he looked at Zhang Han very proudly, and said: "Yingchuan Guo Clan, the real hidden dragon is in the side branch, he is my best friend, one day, you will see him." ”

Well, the side branch of the Guo family, which is of the same clan as Guo Tu but is of a different clan, and the person in the clan who is not inclined to resources should be Guo Jia.

Although he has the same surname as Guo, he was only born in the territory of the Guo clan in Yingchuan, and Guo Jia should not even be able to cross the threshold of Guo Tu's lineage.

I will see him one day...... Zhang Hanxin said that there is a saying that Zhicai does not die, Guo Jia does not come out, he is here to take over your class.

mentioned Guo Jia, and the sacrificial wine in the words just now was still like the old general on the stage, with flags planted behind him, Zhang Han couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "The sacrificial wine has been ...... recently Are you alright? Are there any signs of being overwhelmed, weakening after exertion, feeling like your body is being hollowed out? ”

"Huh? There is no weakness," Xi Zhicai's pride was interrupted, but seeing that Zhang Han looked serious and not like a joke, he recalled it carefully, and he was indeed not unwell.

"That's good."

Now that there is no Yanzhou crisis, maybe the gears of Xi Zhicai's fate can also turn a little.

After all, in the original history, Yanzhou lost only Juancheng, Fanxian, Dong'e three cities, Cao Cao was almost a lost dog, and then experienced a drought and famine, resulting in almost no grain and grass, and epidemics in the territory.

Well? Famine?!

The corners of Zhang Han's mouth hooked, and he smiled confidently at Xi Zhicai: "Take care of your body for sacrificial wine, after all, this year's drought will probably cause the grain in the hinterland of the Central Plains to fail, but there is still one thing that needs to be told about sacrificial wine." ”

"There are 86 wells in the streams, with a lot of water storage, distributed in the soil, and there are anti-locust measures everywhere in the land, and the ploughing fields in my territory have been prevented as early as possible, at least most of them can be preserved, although the flow of the rivers and streams is reduced, but it will not affect too much, and the streams and wells are built in extremely shady places, not exposed to sunlight."

"And last winter, I advocated pouring winter water to nourish the soil, and the land is much more moist than other places that have not been treated with winter water, which is the real trade-off!"

"After pacifying the internal troubles in Yanzhou, when the lord met with officials in various places, Mr. Zhongde asked about the status of the farmland at the same time, and it was expected that although the harvest was insufficient, it would be available for the people to survive the winter and there would be surplus grain."

"Hahaha, Bo Chang is also a person who does not lose the country!"

Xi Zhicai laughed out loud, counterinsurgency and food, the two major matters have been resolved, and the people in the territory are not worried about instability, and it is not a strange thing to support officials and actively recruit troops to protect the territory in the coming year.

It is simply different from Xuzhou, which is now chaotic because of the introduction of wolves into the house.

"In this case, it can make the secret agent win over the characters in Xuzhou, make the situation more chaotic, or take advantage of the fisherman."

The sacrificial wine is also an old yinbi, and sure enough, I immediately understood what I meant by this...... Zhang Han smiled when he heard this: "Is there a candidate for sacrificial wine?" What is the situation in Xuzhou? ”

"Well, Chen Deng and Mi are divided into two factions, which can be co-opted separately, we have shown grace to Chen Deng, and the gentleman knows how to repay his kindness, he will definitely be shaken, maybe not as Chen, but he will not be malicious to us."

"Secondly, the Mi family funded half of Tao Qian's family assets, and now they are in prison, like a lonely boat in the turbulent waves, they will definitely consider changing to a stable big ship."

"That's right, sacrificial wine," Zhang Han's face was delighted, and he leaned closer and said: "When I came, the lord had already made me boldly promise, if I could win over, I would definitely be knighted and honored in the future, and I would be reused!" ”

Before Zhang Han's words fell, a leisurely sigh came from the side.

"Alas...... Between the two of them, they have revealed the situation of Yan and Xu to me, but they don't mention me Sun Qian," he shook his head with a smile, looked at Zhang Han, and arched his hand: "Don't drive Sun Qian in Xuzhou, you are well-connected in Xuzhou, and your family is abundant, and you want to make friends with your Excellency and follow the left and right, in order to implement benevolent government and benefit the people with Mr. Bochang, so that one side will be strong and prosperous." ”

Sun Qian bowed down seriously, his face did not struggle at all, although he was not a big man, but he had good character and talent, and his self-questioning vision was not weaker than others.

Once something is decided, it will not be easily shaken and changed.

When I followed Tao Qian, I also saw the opportunity, and I could show my strength in the troubled times, hoping to rely on my own talent and ability to grow with the lord and become famous all over the world.

But in today's troubled times, everything can also be attributed to that wise saying: there is much help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust.

Tao Gong lost his way and was already unsustainable, and it was time to find a way out.

Sun Qianzhong is honest and elegant, but he is not ignorant.

He should also have a way out for himself, these two people in front of him are worth befriending, the drama is good, good at scheming, although he is free and uninhibited, but his vision is not vicious, he despises the celebrities of the Guo family, he can make friends with people like Xun Yu early, and most importantly, he recommended Zhang Han, a concubine.

As for Zhang Han, he doesn't have to think too much about it, he is talented in internal governance, kind and benevolent, and he can't see the people suffering, and he has always been talking about the strategy of Tuntian to calm the people, benevolent government to attack Xu, drought prevention in streams, and irrigation with waterwheels, which can be said to love the people wholeheartedly.

And Cao Cao ordered him to recruit, his intention was naturally to cultivate Zhang Han and reuse it in the future, following such a kind-hearted young man, he didn't have to worry about falling into disputes, and he wouldn't lose too much and lead to the destruction of the family, the only disadvantage was that it was also difficult to do much.

In Sun Qian's eyes, a good official like Zhang Han may be too guarded by one party in the future, and he will reach the top.

Of course, it depends on where the Taishou is. The Taishou of a county with millions of households in the hinterland of the Central Plains is still very different from the barren Taishou on the edge.

"I'll think about it," Zhang Han said with a smile.

The corners of Sun Qian's mouth twitched, and he was speechless.

As a result, the car was not immediately let into it.

He suddenly remembered what Xi Zhicai said when he came to the door...... Do you really have to have a few more drinks with him?

The grade has gently engaged in the wine table culture.

……

At the same time, in the city of Xiapi, Xuzhou, the backyard of the government office.

When Liu Bei arrived, both civil and military were guarding the couch, along with Tao Qian's heirs, wives and concubines, all of whom were also waiting, as if they were going to entrust the future.

As soon as he came, he asked both sides: "When I left at first, wasn't Tao Gong's body still very strong?" ”

"Why?"

The others leaned in slightly and whispered: "Xuande Gong doesn't know, the lord's illness has been delayed for a long time, and it has not improved since last winter, and now he has been defeated again, and the medical officers say that time is running out." ”

At this time, Tao Qian knew that Liu Bei had arrived after hearing the message, so he hurriedly forcibly got up and beckoned to him, "Brother Xuande, come closer...... I have something to say to you. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he didn't care about the eyes cast around him, and he crouched down in front of Tao Qian, and said, "Tao Gong, if you have anything to send, Bei will not shirk." ”

If a person wishes to do so, he should do his best...... Liu Bei sighed slightly in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.

"Xuande, I have been seriously ill since last winter, and now I am terminally ill, and my life is short......" Tao Qian said weakly, "The only thing I can't rest assured about is the people of Xuzhou." ”

"I know that you are benevolent and righteous, and when I heard that you Liu Jun came, I am even more grateful, there are many talents in our alliance army, but no one is willing to help me Xuzhou in danger, there is nothing to repay, I can only ask you to be benevolent and beneficial, and bless my people in Xuzhou."

Liu Bei's shoulders were stunned after hearing this, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Please give me blessings, this is for me to withdraw Xuzhou.
