In the study room.

Zhang Xiu was wearing a black wide-sleeved robe, wearing a Liu's crown on his head, and sat cross-legged in the main seat. The great advisers of the Weiwei sat on both sides.

Fa Zheng looked at Cai Mao frequently with his little eyes, and Cai Mao was a little embarrassed.

The good things that Cai Mao did have spread. Now the whole of Yangzhou is saying that Cai Mao is Zhang Xiu's favorite minister, in other words, it is called [Treacherous and Tyrant].

"Everyone, I thought that after Cao Mengde was defeated, he should surrender. If he surrendered, Sun Jian and Liu Bei would be alone. The soldiers in Jingzhou were not bloody."

"But according to the Ma Lai report, Cao Cao withdrew his troops and returned to Jiangling, and stopped moving. Although Jingzhou was surging, it did not collapse. Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Xiu noticed Fa Zheng's small move, but he didn't care and went straight into the road with one single sword.

As his advisers were complete, he gradually had fewer ideas when he wanted to think about it, and now he was too lazy to think about it.

He completely learned from Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang. When he encountered something, he said one sentence.

"The plan is about to come out."

Just as Zhao Yun said, if the emperor was asked to charge, what would they do with the minions of warriors?

If the emperor wants to think about everything, then what should the counselor do?

Of course, the reason why Liu Bang always asks about [the plan is out] is because he has Zhang Liang and Chen Ping under his command.

There are also great counselors under Zhang Xiu's command.

Fa Zheng still likes to show off. He bowed his hands very actively and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have a plan to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger."

"Tell me straight, don't beat around the bush." ​​Zhang Xiu was delighted and gave Fa Zheng a big roll of his eyes.

"Although there are many counties in Jingzhou, Sun Jian, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are the only ones who are truly in charge of Xiangyang County, Nan County and Jiangxia County."

"The remaining Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha counties have relatively weak control. Moreover, although these four counties are connected, the city has been divided by the barbarians of Wuxi."

"Your Majesty may wish to send envoys to lobby the county magistrates of various places. The barbarian king Shamoke. In the current situation, they will inevitably surrender to Daliang. Once the four counties go, Xiangyang, Nanjun and Jiangxia County, they will be shocked."

"This is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger."

Fa Zheng was not afraid of Zhang Xiu, but he didn't dare to keep him in hiding again. He politely said with a smile.

Zhang Xiu thought for a while after hearing this.

The barbarians of Wuxi have existed since ancient times. The scope of activities is in Jingnan, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou. If you don’t understand the local terrain.

I mistakenly think that the four counties in Jingnan are connected together.

Actually, it is not. There are many mountains there, which is very suitable for barbarians to roam. The Han people's cities are divided.

The barbarians in Wuxi are very strong, and their population should be hundreds of thousands.

The famous General Fubo Ma Yuan died of illness while conquering Wuxi barbarians.

Under such circumstances, not only Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Jian, but also weak control over the Jingnan region when the Eastern Han Dynasty was in a strong state.

Of course, the four counties in Jingnan are very irresistible. The essence of Jingzhou now is Nanyang County, Nanjun, Xiangyang County, and Jiangxia County.

Now Liu Bei and the other two still hold most of Jingzhou and have the desire to resist. But what if they go to the four counties and leave three counties behind?

It is already unreliable to compete with the world in a state.

What's more, the three counties are used to compete with the world?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu made a decision. He looked up among the advisers and found his own special envoy Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, you will go to Jingnan to lobby."

Zhang Xiu ordered very politely.

Sima Yi was not surprised. When Fa Zheng said this plan, he knew that he was going to be an envoy again.

But this time he has an addition.

"Your Majesty. Let me just give you a verbal talk and surrender to the county magistrates of the four counties, and the barbarian king Shamoke. I have no confidence. I ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to order General Zhao Yun, Zhennan, to lead 50,000 elite troops to Jingnan. Only with the assistance of a large army can I have confidence."

Sima Yi took a deep breath, tilted his hands and said sincerely.

Simply put, it is a sweet mouth and a sting.

While smearing honey on one mouth, laughing haha.

While using the watch to put it around your neck, it depends on whether you surrender or not.

The terrain of Jingnan is complicated, and it was not good to let Zhao Yun attack Jingnan before. But now the situation is different.

"Okay. It's up to Zhongda's intention." Zhang Xiu decided on this matter without thinking much.

"promise."

The ministers agreed and then went down. Sima Yi held the rituals and was escorted to Jingnan by Hu Ben.

Cai Mao went down to write an edict, and the rest of the people continued to be idle.

After Zhang Xiu had a countermeasure, he ignored it. He went back to the back house and hang out with the brides such as Qiao and Bu Lianshi.

He is just a newlywed and lingering.

............

Zhang Xiu was so tired of the army when he was polite. After receiving the order, Zhao Yun left Xu Shu, Gan Ning and others in Jiangbei, and led 50,000 elite troops south to dispatch troops and conquer the counties.

With Sima Yi's little mouth wiping honey, Jing Nan was calm without any turmoil.

While dispatching troops, Zhao Yun left the most difficult task to himself. He personally led the army and marched a long distance to Guiyang County.

Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang County, heard that Zhao Yun was coming, and he didn't dare to fight and surrender smoothly. Zhao Yun first asked his generals to enter the city to take over the city, and finally entered the city himself.

Immediately, he was invited by Zhao Fan to enter the county magistrate's mansion for wine.

In a room, the two of them knelt down and drank. Zhao Fan frequently advised Zhao Yun to drink, very enthusiastic. He had no talent, and the reason why he got the position of Guiyang County was because his family had some influence in Guiyang County.

Liu Bei and the others couldn't take care of these poor mountains and bad waters, so they could only use local snakes.

However, Zhao Fan is not completely without advantages. He is good at being an official.

Now the Emperor of Daliang is on his horse and wielding a spear, sweeping the eight deserts and clearing the universe. The world is unification, and only half a step is left. The person in front of him is extraordinary, and he is the emperor and general.

The official appointed Zhao Yun, the general of Zhennan, and the general of the Eighth Army.

Now Daliang has a lot of soldiers and horses, which is beyond common sense. When the world is pacified, the south will definitely not need to leave so many soldiers and horses.

A general like Zhao Yun is very likely to release his military power and return to Kyoto, or lead his troops to the north to fight against the Xianbei people.

In short, there are people in the court who are easy to be officials.

After dealing with Zhao Yun well, all benefits are not harmful. After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Fan bowed to Zhao Yun and said, "Do you have a wife?"

Zhao Yun was a little surprised, but he didn't hide it and said, "My wife died of illness the year before."

Zhao Yun married his wife in his early years and gave birth to two sons, both in Luoyang. He didn't like beautiful women either. He was in the military and was alone. After his wife died of illness the previous year, he did not rekindle his strings. He handed over his two sons to his friend for care.

"Oh, that's a coincidence." Zhao Fan looked overjoyed and smiled.

"Brother, I'm really confused. What a coincidence?" Zhao Yun became more and more confused and strange, frowned and confused.

Zhao Fan smiled and explained: "My brother doesn't know anything. My brother died and left his widowed sister-in-law Fan, who gave birth to the beautiful and beautiful nature."

"I happened to come to Guiyang. Isn't this God's will? I am willing to be a matchmaker and let my sister-in-law get married. I wonder what my brother wants?"

Zhao Yun frowned even more when he heard this, shook his sleeves and said unhappy: "Brother is drunk. I am a brother and I call you brothers. The brother of the brother is also my brother. How can I marry my brother's widowed sister-in-law?"

Zhao Fan was shocked when he heard this, and was a little frightened and puzzled.

If you don’t have a wife, I will arrange for you a beautiful country. You actually refused and blame me. What’s the reason?

Zhao Fan dared not speak out, so he had to laugh dryly, nodded and said, "What my brother said is that he is drunk for his brother, drunk."

Immediately, Zhao Fan did not dare to say much and just drank with Zhao Yun.

After seeing Zhao Yun away, Zhao Fan had other thoughts in his heart.

You are noble, you don’t want beauty.

Then I will give the beauty to the emperor.

It is said that there are people in the court who are good at being officials.

Wouldn't it be more direct to present the beauty to the emperor?

As Jingnan was pacified, in order to further shake the tiger, Zhang Xiu personally led civil and military officials to 100,000 soldiers, took a boat to reach Ruxukou first along the river, and then went west to Xiakou in Jiangxia County.

Jiangxia County was broken through by the Yangtze River and divided into north-south areas. Currently, the part south of the Yangtze River is already Liangdi.

After Zhang Xiu set up a camp in Xiakou, he summoned Zhao Yun, the governors of four counties, Shamoke and others to see him.

at the same time.

Since Qin Shihuang, Zhang Xiu was the first emperor to set foot on this land. Those talented people, or who think they are talented, gathered in Xiakou like the sea and rivers.

Zhang Xiu still continued the style of being a wise and a wise man. For those who came to vote, Fa Zheng, Ju Su, and Xun You had seen them one by one after they were deleted and selected.

Due to his talent, he was granted official positions.

As for the four counties, Shamoke, the county magistrate, all the time they come to Xiakou is different because of the distance.
