As for the population, Xiao Jiang, a modern man with Xiaobai's assistance, controlled the territory in a reasonable way. Farming and breeding were almost modern. In addition to the seed cultivation area he controlled, he controlled six counties.
However, it has fed nearly 5 million refugees, and the original population is close to 10 million, and there are still many refugees coming to this area.
In other words, the place with the most concentrated population in the entire late Han Dynasty was his territory. Even if the recruitment ratio was lower, he could still recruit hundreds of thousands of horses. But in fact, his army on land only had these tens of thousands of people. The only thing that changed was
It's the fleet of more than a hundred sailing ships training on the coast.
Huang Zhong's eyes lit up and he said:
"Loss the entire world and strengthen the power of China."
Xiao Jiang said with a smile:
"Yes, China is fighting for hegemony and killing each other, so I might as well do something meaningful. To be honest, it's hard for me to take care of these counties. If it weren't for Chen Gong's help, I wouldn't even want to take over my father's territory.
By the way, that guy Gan Ning has brought his battleship to Yamatai these days to cause trouble. I told him to go there every other year to raid and capture all unmarried women aged 13 to 18 years old and above.
It’s better to make it a barren land.”
Huang Zhong laughed. Everyone in this era understands that foreign races have different intentions. Although Huang Zhong is very straightforward, he strongly supports Xiao Jiang's plan. Moreover, Xiao Jiang also plans to let Gan Ning go to the south to sweep up in the next ten years, and must deal with all the wild monkeys.
.
Getting rich or famous is meaningless to him. He just wants to use the time he still has to wander around in this world to have a good time.
"Report, there is a letter from Master Tao Qian of Xuzhou, please rush to Xuzhou City as soon as possible."
The soldier came over with a letter. Xiao Jiang took it and frowned slightly and said:
"This Tao Qian is really interesting. Those yellow turban generals under his command killed Cao Cao's family. Now Cao Cao is going to Xuzhou to take revenge. Liu Bei was invited to station in Xiapi. Well... I'm going to see what this old Tao is looking for. I
If we don’t discuss major matters with the government during this period, if anyone dares to attack my territory, they will be punished to death without mercy.”
Huang Zhong nodded and smiled:
"Understood, I asked Wei Yan to lead the troops to defend Yuan Shu and others. If you need me, I will personally lead the troops to support you."
Xiao Jiang smiled and didn't say much. Although he had managed this territory for five years, he had never stopped practicing hard every day. Now he said that apart from Nan Beidou and others, he really didn't worry about anything.
…
In the inner room of Xuzhou Governor's Mansion, Tao Qian had a cloth wrapped around his head, his face was sallow and his eyes became cloudy. When he heard Xiao Jiang's arrival, Tao Qian motioned to the maid to help him up. Looking at Xiao Jiang, his eyes were wet and he screamed.
road:
"Qi Hou, you are finally here. Xuzhou needs your rescue."
Xiao Jiang came forward and sat aside and whispered:
"Master Tao, I read your letter and know that you have already enmity with Cao Cao. However, Xuzhou's elite soldiers have abundant food and talent, and Cao Mengde only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If he gathers the people along the way to clear the country, and at the same time block Cao's army at various passes.
, they will be defeated in less than two months, so why should you worry?"
Tao Qian shook his head, coughed a few times and said:
"Xuzhou is indeed rich and has many soldiers and horses, but some of the soldiers and horses are not under my command. The rest are Cao Bao and others who have the ability to fight against Cao's army.
Originally I invited Liu Xuande to come and help, but he was unwilling to take over my mess, otherwise he would have some confidence in leading the army to resist Cao Cao with his second general Zhang.
Now I have no choice but to ask General Xiao for help. If you are willing to take over the position of our state pastor, Xuzhou will not suffer from military disasters."
Xiao Jiang never thought of taking over the entire Xuzhou, and he had no interest in fighting Cao Cao. If Cao Cao met him, there would be no trouble for the Cao family in the future.
Just as he was about to refuse, Xiaobai suddenly said:
"Master, don't you want to force Beidou out? If you can quickly unify the world and avoid decades of melee, can you force out these two guys?"
When Xiao Jiang heard this, his heart lit up. Over the past five years, his combat effectiveness had skyrocketed, and all the generals in the world were not in his eyes. The reason why he stayed was to let the fleet to torment the monkeys, pheasants, and local turtles around China, and to find Nan Beidou and others.
whereabouts.
But in the past five years, even though he monitored many military commanders and counselors, and although he found many clues, he could never find those two hidden guys.
The purpose of South Beidou is to provoke a war to absorb the death energy. According to Xiao Bai's idea, if there is no war, the two guys will definitely appear, either deliberately sabotage, or kill Xiao Jiang. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for a peaceful age to appear.
Xiao Jiang thought for a while and asked:
"Master Tao, I have accepted the post of Lujiang Prefect and opened the army general's palace. How can I lead you as Xuzhou shepherd?"
Tao Qian said nonchalantly:
"In today's world, Cao Mengde imitates Dong Zhuo and uses the emperor to control the princes, but who among the princes in the world cares about his own interests?
Just accept the seal and wait for me to tell the emperor to appoint you. If Cao Cao dares to interfere with this, then he will not be able to use the emperor to control other places."
"In this way, Xiao Jiang is ashamed to accept..."
…
It is said that Xiao Jiang shamelessly became the Mu of Xuzhou. The first thing he did was to mobilize all the 80,000 miscellaneous troops in Xuzhou to prepare outside Xuzhou City. As for the three brothers Liu Xuande who lived in Xiapi, the same was true. As a general of the upper army, he already had
He has the power to mobilize the troops from all over the world. Even if Liu Bei has messy ideas, he must obey orders at this time.
Xiao Jiang was preparing a large army. In Xuchang's heart, Cao Cao scolded Tao Qian seven times a day for being scornful. However, he had already gathered an army to prepare for a crusade against Xuzhou. Now that Xiao Jiang had taken over Xuzhou's army, Cao Cao was unable to dismount.
A group of Cao Cao's counselors were sitting on both sides of the Prime Minister's Palace. Cao Cao cursed and rubbed his head and said:
"Everyone, Tao Qian, the old thief, was afraid of death and actually gave Xuzhou to Xiao Fusheng. This man is known to the world for his strength. I heard that he was called the reincarnation of Zhang Liang because of his great resourcefulness. He is now preparing the Xuzhou army, plus his troops in Yangzhou
There are tens of thousands of elites, what should we do now?"
A thin man said:
"Prime Minister, Xiao Jiang bravely champions the three armies and is called the God of War with Lu Bu. His strength should not be underestimated. However, no matter how strong he is, he is only one person. Our army has dozens of generals. Whether it is a wheel battle or a group battle, he cannot stand alone.
As for his reincarnation, Zhang Liang's name comes from the original Wang Yun and Mr. Huangpu. Mr. Huangpu has been ill at home recently. Maybe the Prime Minister can ask him. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. Besides, we are not idlers."
No matter how resourceful he is, as long as we find a flaw, we can capture Xuzhou and even attack his home base in Lujiang."
Cao Cao frowned and nodded:
"Fengxiao is my right wing. This dispute between wise men is just a conspiracy. What you said makes perfect sense. I will immediately go to visit Huangpu Song to see what he thinks of Xiao Jiang."
