When Cao Ang heard Jia Xu's words, he was not too surprised, he still smiled lightly, put down the scroll in his hand, and said, "Brother didn't blame you, but just said that Mr. is much more real now than before." ”

"Real?" When Jia Xu Mengran heard this, he felt a little wonderful, but he immediately understood what Zhang Han meant.

In the past, he did have the heart of the embankment, and he always liked to think in secret, but recently it is natural to lose this kind of thought, and secretly worry about Zhang Han's safety, that is to say, the prince seems to be cynical, but in fact, he will notice many changes and thoughts all day long.

"Alas, the old man is not afraid of the prince's blame, in fact, as long as the prince is not suspicious, it will be fine."

"Haha......" Cao Ang chuckled twice, then pointed to the book on the case, and asked sincerely, "Sir, can you answer this for me?" ”

"This is ......" Jia Xu leaned over to take a look, and suddenly smiled: "Oh, this is Cai Gong's "Han Law Fu", which writes that the Han River connects with Jiangxiang after crossing the mountains, raising scales and armor and all things, and mainly singing praises to virtue. ”

"The scales and armor breed all kinds of people, and the dragon gathers to swim. The pearl is born in the spirit of the clam Xi, and the night light lurks in Xuanzhou. The miscellaneous gods are full of treasures, and the feet of fish and turtles are harvested? ”

"This endowment, in addition to expressing his talents, should mainly be that Cai Gong sees the world with his eyes and remembers the mountains and rivers in his heart, but he is a person who has the world in mind, this should be given to the eldest prince by the prince, right?"

"Yes," Cao Ang nodded with a smile: "This poem is written by Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, to her brother." ”

"Hey, this Cai Yong's daughter...... It is said that Cai's collection of more than 4,000 volumes of books and books were lost in the troubled times, and Cai Yan has been a talented woman since she was a child, and it is rumored that she has the ability to never forget, she wrote silently to the prince, so there is ...... between him and the prince"

"Sir, don't be unpredictable......," Cao Ang interrupted him with a raised hand, "it was my brother who saved Aunt Zhaoji's life. ”

"I see," Jia Xu also kept his mouth shut about this matter with great interest, and if he continued to talk about it, it would be wrong, and many scholars and wealthy families in Xu Du spread rumors in an attempt to tarnish the reputation of Sikong and the prince.

Planting Sikong is a wonderful woman's wife, the prince is greedy for money and lustful, likes the same wonderful woman, and likes other people's widows the most.

In this way, the reputation of the prince is also in jeopardy.

But the two of them don't care much, and to say that it sounds good is uninhibited pride, but in fact, it seems that the old and young seem to be a little shameless.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han suddenly muttered, then turned around and lay on his side, opened his sleepy eyes and saw Jia Xu there, and called softly: "Wenhe." ”

"Hey, I'm ...... me" Jia Xu hurriedly trotted over and squatted in front of Zhang Han.

Zhang Han didn't seem to wake up yet, and his voice was very soft, "How is the war?" ”

"As expected by the prince, Sun Ce's warship was ambushed and could not move forward, and two ships and three ships were damaged, and now the enemy troops secretly coming from the water in Jiangdong have withdrawn, this is really, a stroke of genius, and things are like ...... gods."

"Prince, how did you know they were coming?"

Zhang Han said softly: "Hefei to the south, is Xiaoyaojin, this ferry south to Chaohu Lake, and east to Chaoxian, south to Wancheng, the mountains and gorges and waterways are between these two places, I have already heard that after Sun Ce attacked the Lujiang River, Yuan Shu handed over the position of Taishou to Liu Xun, Sun Ce listened to the order and left, without entanglement. ”

"Actually, it's already a little strange, he is a person with a strong personality, how can he not be angry? It must be angry in his heart, but in fact, he did not express it on the surface, but flattered Yuan, I expected that he had already figured out the place where the waterway was going, and he would take Xiaoyaojin as a stirrup and take Huainan from Hefei. ”

"We came just right, as long as Hefei has not been lost, it means that Sun Ce is still on the way, so we will be able to wait."

After listening to this, Jia Xu felt that these thoughts were actually very complicated, and if he hadn't been staring at Sun Ce, how could he have noticed him?

Sun Ce, Sun Ben, Wu Jing, etc. can be said to be a family, early after Yuan Shu usurped the Han Dynasty, they broke away from Yangzhou Huainan and expanded to Jiangdong, in order to stabilize the current family business and establish a reputation in the southeast.

They went away with great fanfare, quietly raided back, how could they notice?

"Junhou, how did you target Sun Ce?"

Jia Xu still didn't understand.

Zhang Han was speechless: "I heard that Jiangdong Sun Bofu has the courage of an overlord, and Jiang Zuo Zhoulang has a young talent, and the two are about the same age as me. ”

"That's okay," Jia Xu nodded hurriedly, so it was much more reasonable.

The prince was cautious and couldn't listen to others, so he secretly watched the defense, and finally set a trap and waited for the Jiangdong soldiers and horses to throw themselves into the net.

"Our grain route is now going to the west of Feixi, which is a land route that is convenient to access."

"And the grain transported by water, you have to go from Lu'an to Shaobei, and the grain can be transported on both lines, and I recommend ordering the major general——"

Zhang Han's eyes widened, and the fierce light was shining.

Jia Xu was stunned, and immediately changed his words: "Order Zhang Xiu to take the Chengde garrison to resist the reinforcements of Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun, and the prince will lead the troops to accumulate grain, grass and soldiers and horses in Hefei, and after 15 days, the army should be able to arrive, so that Lujiang and Huainan are under my control." ”

"Good, I'll sleep again, you let Dian Wei and Gao Shun give orders." Zhang Han turned over, smacked his lips, and suddenly turned over again, and said: "Send someone to investigate the topographic map of Anhui City, be sure to depict it in detail, this place is unstable, I am afraid that Sun Ce will turn to take it, disturb my rear, and occupy it with thousands of soldiers and horses first." ”

Before, Anhui City had not been occupied by the army, but the clan elders of Anhui County took a boat and a carriage and horse to Shucheng to pay a visit.

"I'll leave this matter to Xiu'er."

"Okay," Jia Xu hurriedly got up, saluted Cao Ang, looked at each other and smiled, and then went out again, and when he arrived at the door, his brows furrowed, and he muttered, "No...... Anhui County is vast and sparsely populated, the city is short, and it is not a place to take it lightly, how can it be so important? ”

"This is, and to collect the hearts of the locals? There weren't many people there either......"

Jia Xu didn't understand again, he found that he couldn't guess what Zhang Han was thinking again.

But, that's it! Don't think about it, just do it.

It was the first time he had met such a young man, and his eyes were too far away to reach him.

As for Zhang Han's intentions, wait and see the results.

Jia Xu's whole person was extremely looking forward to it, even to the point of itching, the more he couldn't guess Zhang Han's intentions, the more interesting he felt.

……

At this moment, on the river outside Xiaoyaojin, Sun Ce only had half of the warship left, and he was about to turn back on the river.

Inside a main ship, the wooden cabin was carpeted, and Sun Ce was heroic and majestic, wearing a crown and hat with bright eyes, and his beard was neatly and carefully trimmed, leaving a short beard like a halberd, adding a bit of majesty.

Opposite him, there was another handsome young man, his complexion was whiter, his solid color was redder, his eyes were like stars, his eyebrows were like swords, he had never spoken but there was a smile on his face, this person was wearing a lot of brocade robes, there was a three-foot sword around his waist, and his belt was black and bright with gold thread trimming, which was the elegant style of a scholar.

The handsomeness and talent of the Confucian sages of Jiangzuo are very rich, and they are quite attractive in terms of appearance alone, this person is Sun Ce's friend and ally, Zhou Yuye, a very prestigious person in Jiangzuo, has led the army in his uncle's army at the age of fourteen, is familiar with the art of war, proficient in music and rhythm, and no one can match the talent of his peers.

It can only be said that if Zhang Han is here, he must feel that these two people can be with him by virtue of their appearance.

I'm looking at the map on the desk.

After a while, Sun Ce spoke: "This is not like Zhang Xun's style, I know him, this person is so happy, his mind is not delicate enough, and the river water of Xiaoyaojindu has always been important, he doesn't have the courage to destroy it." ”

"The strategy of locking the river, not everyone dares to do it, in the future, ships will not be able to pass, Yangzhou and the north and south will not be able to trade, and the people will not be able to return home, how dare Zhang Xun do this?"

"Well," Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Just now, I see that those soldiers and horses do not have a naval army, they can only be defended for a long time, and the arrows are finely forged and hard, not cast by Lujiang craftsmen, and even the arrows can be used so strongly, only the victorious army that has just captured Shucheng......"

"Zhang Bochang?" Although Sun Ce was asking, he actually didn't have a puzzled look on his face, and even suddenly realized, he thought it was true, and then he nodded and said: "Yes, his army has indeed never lost, and this person is also quite a bit of a stranger." ”

"From the Lujiang River to Huainan, just a few waterways, a few small roads, he finally crossed the mountains and rivers to reach Huainan, but he came to attack Hefei for the first time, hehe......" Sun Ce chuckled: "The way of using troops is contrary to common sense, but it has miraculous effects." ”

"This is the strategy of rejecting the outside world and basing itself on the fundamentals, I am afraid that it intends to surround Shouchun from the north and south, so that Yuan Shu has no way to escape."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he directly lay down to the side, raised his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling of the cabin, and sighed: "After all, it was still a step slower, and thousands of people and several warships were lost." ”

"Zhang Xun is not Zhang Bochang's opponent, and there seems to be a group of heroes under that person, and he will be a fierce rival in the future." Zhou Yu is already excited, and if he can't cross Hefei this time, he needs to wait for the opportunity.

"Bo Fu can't be anxious, it's not a bad thing to be one step slower this time," Zhou Yu's heart is very good, but he is a little disappointed, and he regains his enthusiasm, and his "eyes" are full of expectation, "It will take at least a year for the Shouchun War, and after the defeat of Yuan Shu, it will take several years for Cao Cao to recuperate before he can restore the prosperity of the military horses at this time." ”

"And, after he tries his best to recover, he still needs to guard against Yuan Shao in Jizhou, although I don't know what Yuan Shao can do, but he has hundreds of families under his command, countless celebrities and heroes, more than a thousand generals, and the heroes of the north have not yet been cleared, I have at least five years to stabilize Jiangdong."

"Bo Fu, this is a great time, and what is the lamentation, I Jiangdong has a lot of talents, these five years to stick to the homeland, recruit troops, build warships, train sergeants day and night, but also as a hero, if you want to win the Central Plains, you can start from Jingzhou."

Sun Ce smiled and said: "This is reasonable, Gongjin means that Liu Biao is old, and he may not be able to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou after five years, so we can take advantage of the situation." ”

"Hahaha!" Zhou Yu lay down and laughed loudly, "Yes, it is to bully him for his old age, and his mind may not be sober, when I received the military intelligence of Xuzhou, I found that this is the case, Tao Qian is old, and the subordinate clan naturally has two hearts, the reason is also simple, although Tao Xuzhou has the ability, he knows how to make friends and pull the alliance from afar, in order to strengthen his own ability, even if he does not have such arrogant confidence in troubled times, he can also establish a meritorious career, but he just wants to be subservient!" ”

"But the son of his knees has not been able to serve the people, and when he is about to die, will not the people of the world go their separate ways in order to survive? And you are different! Zhou Yu sat up excitedly, with a smile on his face: "You have the power of a father, and the martial arts and art of war are even better, such a heroic spirit, you can take the old department under your command, and then try to achieve a great cause!" ”

"The reason why two or even three generations of ministers are precious and priceless is because of loyalty! They will do their best for you! ”

"And Liu Biao, in the end, it is impossible to hold Jingzhou, maybe within ten years, the situation in the world has changed dramatically, we can win the Central Plains, now Yuan Shu started this beginning, it is disrespectful to usurp the Han and stand on his own, but he also took the lead in this way, so that most of the princes have seen the end."

"Perhaps, there will still be people whose hearts will not die."

"In this world, after all, we have to look at the long term, and it should be the world of my young talents!"

Zhou Yu raised his hand to the sky, full of spirit.

Sun Ce looked at him affectionately, chewed on these words repeatedly, and then shook his head and chuckled: "Jiang Zuo is a virtuous talent, only you Gongjin has this kind of open-mindedness." ”

"Order, go back to Koto! Establish a business here, stick to the world and wait for the times to change! ”

……

The Jiangdong warship evacuated, and there was no nostalgia for the Huainan war in Yangzhou, and a pair of heroes in Jiangdong were only across the river from Zhang Han, and they did not meet.

The situation in Hefei, with the help of Gao Shun, Dian Wei, and Zhang Liao, helped Zhang Xiu win the title in Chengde, and broke Zhang Xun's soldiers and horses in the plains, killing more than 7,000 people and gaining thousands of prisoners of war.

The defeated army fled to Shouchun, making Yuan Shu's situation even more critical.

After about half a year of conquest, Cao's army finally besieged Yuan Shutuan from all directions, and the number of troops invested in this battle had already exceeded the 100,000 claimed before.

From Xuzhou, 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Yu Ban came to swallow the Huainan rebels of Yang Feng and Han Xianam.

Shouchun City, surrounded by enemies on all sides, Yuan's road has been blocked, and he can only defend one.

At this moment, in the city, in the Shouchun Palace.

"Waste, incompetent fool! Fork out! ”

Yuan Shu drank and drove Zhang Xun out of the palace, defeated the generals, lost Hefei, and lost 30,000 horses.

There were thousands of people killed in the battle alone, and there was no military spirit at all, and after the defeat, the soldiers were scattered, and only a few hundred people followed Zhang Xun back to Shouchun.

In that case, what are you doing here!?

I was already overwhelmed by the news of your defeat, dizzy, and depressed...... As a result, you didn't bring me back any family funds, only you returned from a defeated army, and there were no parts, and I still need to equip you with a sergeant.

"Cao Ang Xiao'er, occupy my Huainan!"

"The Cao family is all treacherous!"

"Defend to the death, keep the spring to me, and after the winter, they will definitely retreat!"

"Let Ji Ling guard the northern city, I, I can't be defeated again......" Yuan Shu said this, he was already a little upset, even in a chaotic mood, quite desperate.

"You go to defend the city, and in the future, the military report needs to be passed on secretly, and people will guard the vicinity of the imperial city, and then build a high wall in the imperial city......"

Yuan Shu was angry and unwilling, and then ordered to move all the baggage grain to the palace, and take the grain stored in the granary to the imperial city.

He decided to build another fortress of Gaocheng within Shouchun, and stationed his family and henchmen in it, so that Cao Cao could not attack the imperial city after capturing Shouchun......

Yi Jing, West Garden...... Yuan Shu's mind was now full of these self-trapped fortresses that he had laughed at not long ago.

But I didn't expect that now I would have to get into it......
