I stood on the playground of Tianwei Academy, with five hundred pairs of hot and young eyes looking at me, waiting for my order.

Gu Yong stood beside me and sighed softly: "About all things in aristocratic families, it has been easy to plant flowers and trees since ancient times, and it is difficult to educate talents. It seems that the position of this teacher and friend to offer wine is not easy to sit!"

I was responsible for the sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial s

I smiled and replied, "Your Majesty Gu knows that those who can use all their powers will be invincible to the world; those who can use all their wisdom will be fearless to the saints!"

When Gu Yong heard this, he said solemnly: "Brother Shao Chong's words really reveal the mystery in one sentence!"

I smiled and said, "Just just now, I heard Mr. Gu's words, and it seems that I want to retreat when I see the difficulties. This is not OK! You can hold Yuzhang's hope for the future now!"

Lu Xun stood at the forefront of the team, behind him were Lu Ji, Gu Yong's eldest son Gu Shao and others. They were all students I personally named. With Lu Xun's qualifications and abilities shown in the boxing battle, after the training of the school system, I believe that if you don't have a long time to become the commander of the army.

"Prespect my heavenly power and keep my country forever!" These are eight words I wrote for the founding of the school. Lu Xun was the first leader and shouted loudly.

Then five hundred slightly tender voices were neat and uniform, and the shouts of Gao Subaru rushed into the sky, revealing the unique enthusiasm and flames of the boy. The childish voice of the boy still echoed in the valley, and the lingering sounds were endless.

Such a passionate and passionate man, if I have tens of thousands of cavalry under my command, why worry about the big thing going to happen?

"Prespect my heavenly power and conquer my country forever!" I also murmured silently in my heart. This is the unchanging ideal in my heart.

When I returned to the city, it was getting late and I was about to rest. Xu Jing, who was in charge of contacting me, came to report that it was Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, who sent an envoy to ask for his visit.

When I heard this news, I thought, "Changsha and Yuzhang belong to Jingyang states. I wonder what Zhang Xian intended to send an envoy to come at this time. Zhang Xian had the intention to make plans to be independent. Could it be that he came for this?"

I thought so much in my heart and said, "Call!"

After a short break, Xu Jing led a middle-aged scholar with a square face. The man was obviously unexpected when he saw that I was so young. He was stunned for a moment, and then bowed and said, "I have met the Lord Yuzhang Prefect at the Huanjie in Changsha!"

I said, "No need to be polite. I have heard of the name of Huan Boxu in Linxiang for a long time. I don't know that Mr. Huan came from afar today, so what are you doing?"

Huan Jie said: "He came here because he was to help General Jie worry!"

Huan Jie's answer was a bit beyond my expectations. It relieved my worries. I don't know what medicine would be sold in Huan Jie's gourd. I wanted to see it. Thinking of this, I said, "The thieves in Yuzhang Sect are all peaceful, the people in Yin are rich, and all the knowledgeable people are in the same way. This is a sign of a prosperous era. I would like to ask, where do you worry come from?

Huan Jie took a step forward and said, "Jie dared to ask the general, which is bigger than that of Jing and Yang?"

I said: "The eight counties under Jingzhou are governed by it, and there are six counties in Yangzhou. Yuzhang is only one of the counties in Yangzhou, so it is naturally not comparable to it."

Huan Jie said again: "Since that's the case, Jie asked again, who is better than Liu Biao or Sun Ce?"

Huan Jie's continuous questions were so rude that I shouted: "Since he is strong and I am weak, all three-year-old children know that. Is this a gentleman? Do you want to humiliate me if you ask me like this?"

Huan Jie said: "General calms down his anger. If you only use the power of Yuzhang to fight against Liu Biao, Sun Ce, it is impossible. This is the general's worries. Jie is a general's plan in private. If you want to fight against a strong enemy, you should follow the strategy of Su Qin and joining the six countries to defeat the powerful Qin, unite close neighbors, and rely on each other. This is the way to survive and die."

I finally understood what Huan Jie meant. He wanted me to unite with my neighbors, Yu Zhang was close to each other. Except for Liu Biao, Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, there were only four counties in Jingnan. It seems that Huan Jie meant that I was an alliance with Zhang Xian.

I pretended not to know, and leaned over and asked, "Are the neighbors in Yuzhang a tiger or wolf? How can I rely on the power to make friends with me?"

When Huan Jie saw that I was moved, he was secretly happy and said, "Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, dared to speak out, and was deeply respected by the people with courtesy and righteousness. He should be a friend of the general."

I said, "I wish to hear it carefully!"

Huan Jie waved his sleeves at this time and said, "He is here because he is entrusted by the prefect of Changsha, Lord Zhang Xian, to come to your county to discuss the alliance?"

My heart moved. Could it be that Zhang Xian wanted to break away from Liu Biao and became independent, which made Huan Jie form an alliance with me. Yuzhang is close to Changsha and Guiyang. If Zhang Xian wants to be independent, he should first ensure stability in the future. Therefore, my attitude is crucial to him.

In this way, Liu Biao has not completely controlled the entire territory of Jingzhou. At least Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha County, the largest of the four counties in Jingnan, is not in harmony with him. For me, this is an opportunity to make a breakthrough.

I said, "Sir, please come in and talk in detail!"

From Huan Jie, I learned the internal story of the struggles of various factions in Jingzhou. As early as the first year of Chuping, Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou. The thieves in Jiangnan were prosperous. Yuan Shu stationed in Luyang, and all the people in Nanyang were from Nanyang. Su from Wu led the prefect of Changsha, and Bei Yu was the chief of Huarong, and each of them blocked the rebellion. Liu Biao entered Yicheng and planned with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, a native of Yanzhonglu of Jingxiang, and Cai Mao, a native of Xiangyang, and sent Yue to lure the thieves in the clan. The fifteen people arrived, and all of them were beheaded and attacked. Then Liu Biao made a proclamation and pacified Jingxiang without bloodshed.

However, this kind of achievements made by using power rather than combat power is destined to be unstable. Behind the appearance of peace and peace in Jingzhou, there is a surging surging.

As Liu Biao's status in Jingzhou became stable, the alliance forces that were united at the beginning of his administration began to differentiate. It was a perfect move for Liu Biao to eliminate all elements that were not in line with his own preferences, and Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, was the first candidate to bear the brunt.

Changsha County is the most important of the four counties in Jingnan. It has Dongting Chonghu Lake in the north, which is vast and boundless, blocking Guanshan Mountains. It is the northern part of Changsha and the Wuling Barrier in the south. The mountains are winding and the situation is steep. There is also the Xiangjiang River originating from Lingnan that runs through the entire territory, connecting the north and the south, connecting the east and west, and is a famous city in the southern territory.

In such an important position, what if you don’t arrange your confidants? And Zhang Xian and Liu Biao have always been in a disagreement, so it is natural to be eliminated.

Seeing that Huan Jie made everything clear, I no longer silenced and asked, "Changsha and Yuzhang belong to Jingyang states. Is it because Zhang Jun wants to form an alliance with me this time? Is it because he has the intention of reliance?"

Huan Jie heard my words and told him the purpose of his coming, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Biao is rude and polite, and he is close to villains and far away from gentlemen. My lord has always been upright and has many disagreements in his words. Therefore, Liu Biao has long been the intention to abolish my master and has never been able to do anything. Now the overall situation in Jingzhou has been settled, and Liu Biao has already made a wish to lead the prefect of Changsha. My master does not follow him, so he has to do so."

As expected, Zhang Xian sent Huanjie to come this time to find out the truth of our army. If I agree to form an alliance, Zhang Xian's self-reliance will be more firm, because although the power of Changsha, Yuzhang and the dangers of mountains and rivers are not enough to defeat Liu Biao, at least it is not a problem to protect himself.

I said, "Liu Biao has the eight counties of Jingxiang, and his subordinates are Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, and his subordinates are Wen employed Cai Mao. There are no less than 100,000 elite soldiers and generals. Zhang Envoy is competing with a county in Changsha. This is like a breast fighting a tiger, which will definitely be defeated. The wise will not do it. Since this is the case, I will form an alliance with Zhang Envoy, which will only increase disaster!"

When Huan Jie heard the words, his face remained calm, as if he had expected that I had said this, raised his legs and stepped forward, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor Ling, my lord was the chief of Lingling, and finally he was the ruling of Guiyang. During his tenure, my lord was honest and respected by the people and protected by the people. Now that he wanted to establish himself, Lingling and Guiyang would follow each other. With these three counties as the basis, it was enough to compete with Liu Biao. Moreover, Jingnan was in a dangerous terrain, Dongting Lake was tilted and separated from the north and south. Even if Liu Biao had tens of thousands of troops invaded, I would only guard one place and be sure to win. In addition, my lord had already made a decision with Cao Gong of Xuchang. If four counties were selected to protect Sanjiang to establish themselves, it would be a danger to save the court. He would be punished by the king's order, who dared not accept it?"

I said, "Mr.'s words are attentive. Since the envoy Zhang has a chance to win, I should bow down to it. However, there is a saying that a gentleman does not go without profit. If I respond, what should I do?"

Huan Jie said: "The land in Jingnan is rich in black gold and black iron. It is necessary to forge sharp blade arrows. The salt field is widely distributed on the coast of the South China Sea. Merchants collect it and transport it to the north, which can make huge profits. If the general is willing to form an alliance, these two are prepared by our general."

Without sharp weapons, soldiers would not be able to exert their maximum power. The minerals for training weapons such as Wujin and Xuantien are indeed lacking in Yuzhang. Huan Jie took my weaknesses.

Moreover, the salt road is also quite attractive. Since ancient times, grain and salt have been the foundation of the people. They have mastered the production of southern salt and the passage of northern transportation. To a certain extent, they have controlled the lifeline of the Central Plains.

Faced with my questions one by one, Huan Jie answered questions with confidence, and was no less able to compare with Hua Xin's arguments. I really admired him.

Faced with such generous conditions, I couldn't help but refuse to agree.

After pacifying Luling, what should our army do next is really a headache for me. If we fight Sun Ce immediately, it may be difficult to win in terms of strength. Whether I am going west to Jiangxia or attacking Wancheng in the north, I will face enemies several times stronger than ours. Just when I was thinking about it, Huan Jie's suggestions made me illuminate.

As Huan Jie said, it is impossible to resist Sun Ce with the power of a county. The only correct opinion should be to strengthen his own strength first. The four counties in Jingnan and neighboring Yuzhang Luling is the best choice. Zhang Xian is now automatically delivered to him, which is what I cannot ask for.

I was delighted and laughed: "I would like to ask Mr. to go back and tell Zhang Jun that I have agreed to the alliance!"

Seeing that the persuasion was successful, Huan Jie smiled and said, "No need to delay, I will go back and tell the lord and say goodbye!"

It was the New Year's Eve of the first year of Jian'an. The moonlight was like a jade, reflected on the water surface. The Gan River was sparkling, setting off the riverside houses. This scene was very similar to the scenery I was in Wu County last year - the small bridge and flowing water house. But at that time I was still a small pawn who was not worth a visit, but now I am the commander of the two counties of Yuzhang and Luling, and the princes in charge of the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

It was already very late at night. I drank with Liu Ye, Gan Ning and Taishi Ci this night. After drinking several bottles, I was a little drunk. I couldn't bear to drink, but I had to drink this wine tonight. I have struggled from nothing to now. In this year, they have fought side by side with me, sharing life and death, and the feelings in it can no longer be expressed in words.

Good men should drink strong wine and stop drinking it when they are drunk.

He rode his horse to revenge and killed all the enemy chiefs.

Live up to the great head.

Come here for a visit.

Few soulmates.

I sang with wine and expressed my heart directly, and unknowingly I dissolved myself into the torrent of troubled times and could not extricate myself. Gan Ning and others were also drunk and danced and danced. After sending their personal guards to send the generals back home, I no longer sleepy. I walked out of the house and looked up at the stars in the sky. But it was like yesterday and things were no longer there.

On December 20, the first year of Jian'an, Liu Biao, who was already tense, finally broke up and started a war. First, Zhang Xian killed the county magistrate sent by Liu Biao to Changsha in Changsha, and joined forces with Guiyang and Lingling County to establish himself. Then, Liu Biao issued a manifesto to attack Zhang Xian as a provincial governor, saying that Zhang Xian was deliberately treason and his crimes should be punished. He also appointed Kuai Liang as the commander-in-chief and commanded 50,000 troops from Jiangling to march south to attack Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian's total number of troops is about 30,000. In addition to the troops stationed in Lingling and Guiyang, the main forces are stationed in Leishishan and Changsha City respectively. Jingnan is mountainous and has a dangerous terrain. If you can defend the enemy, you can retreat. Zhang Xian's arrangements are all right.

But from my perspective, although Zhang Xian's deployment is safe, it is also very negative. He only wants to stick to himself and protect himself, and does not want to take the initiative to defeat the enemy. In the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, although he can defend, he will definitely lose in the end.

On December 30, Kuai Liangling Wenpin was the pioneer and led 10,000 elite navy troops around the entrance of Cheozhou and up the Xiangjiang River. They defeated several camps of Zhang Xian's army and headed straight to the city of Changsha. Although they could not conquer the city, they also made the people in the city fluctuate and panic.

As the war is getting tighter, Zhang Xian has sent envoys to urge our army to send troops to help three times. I still have concerns about the command of Jingnan, and I still can't take it down after pondering for a long time.

Alliance is one thing,

Sending troops is another matter.

If we really send troops to Jingnan, we will inevitably encounter Liu Biao's army. With the strength of our army, can we beat it?

But if I wait and see and don’t send troops, once Zhang Xian is defeated and Jingnan returns to Liu Biao, I will lose the opportunity to grow and grow.

It should be said that Huan Jie's proposal was an opportunity for me who was in the cracks. At the banquet just now, Liu Ye, Hua Xin, Gu Yong, Tai Shi Ci, and Xu Jing and other advisers and generals faced the new situation, as I expected, had two completely opposite opinions.

The side led by Hua Xin, Gu Yong and Xu Jing firmly opposed sending troops to Jingnan, the reason was that in the current situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak, sending troops to Jingnan would risk breaking up with Liu Biao in Jingzhou. If Liu Biao sent Huang Zu down the river along the river, Yuzhang would be in danger. Moreover, now Sun Ce and Yuan Shu around Yuzhang are not in harmony with me, and going to war with Liu Biao again is an unwise move to make enemies on all sides.

Liu Ye, Gan Ning and Taishi Ci believed that developing towards Jingnan was a great opportunity at this time, because judging from the situation around Yuzhang, although Sun Ce had pacified Wang Lang's power and occupied Kuaiji in Jiangdong, Chen Yu, the former governor of Yangzhou, took the opportunity to rebel Haixi. Sun Ce was trying to quell the troubles of the thieves and had no time to look west.

Yuan Shu in Huainan was dreaming of becoming an emperor after the election. His army was fighting with Lu Bu in Xuzhou. Liu Bei was in great conflict, and Yu Zhang Yuan Shu would not take it seriously.

From the overall perspective, advancing west is an inevitable choice, but with Yuzhang's strength, if the troops are marching into Jingnan, more than half of the troops must be dispatched, which will inevitably cause the defense of Yuzhang. If there is any change in the situation, the troops far away in Jingnan will find it difficult to return to the army immediately for assistance. If the foundation is lost, it will be worth it.

Just as I was chaotic, the footsteps behind me were shattering. When I turned around, I saw Musa wearing a snow-white satin shirt. Niao Niao followed me. Musa and I were not married yet. If they were to be alone in the Han Dynasty, the singular man and widow who could not get along alone, but Musa's identity is a princess of the Yue tribe. With her temper, how could she deal with these taboo etiquettes?

When Musha saw me, she smiled and said, "Husband, the people in the hook railing are silent, how can you have fun alone!"

I was already seven or eight minutes drunk at this time, so I also smiled and replied with a blunt smile: "The moon is in the sky, and I need a beautiful woman to accompany you!"

After hearing this, Musha looked at me firmly and said, "If you talk to Mingyue, it will only add to worries. Although Musha has little knowledge, he also intends to share the burden with you!"

I said casually: "I believe the princess has heard about Jingnan. Can it be done by you?

Musha raised her hand and lifted a strand of black hair on her forehead and said, "Actually, my husband has already made up his mind to send troops. Why not do it according to his wishes?"

The moonlight shines on Musa's clear eyes like fog. In that look, I see trust and encouragement, and...

At this time, Musa was less wild and more charming. I couldn't help but hugging Musa gently, smearing her virgin body, tightly unwilling to let go.

At this moment, I felt a strong attachment to Musa in my heart. I really don’t know what kind of emotion this is.

Women will change, and a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

As Musha said, what I hesitated was not whether to send troops or not, but when to send troops. If it was too early, Zhang Xian might be used as a scapegoat. If it was too late, sending troops would only increase Liu Biao's hostility and would not get any benefits.

Moreover, before the Western Expedition, Yuzhang's defense must be properly arranged. Heavy troops must be left behind in Pengzekou and Shiyin Mountain to prevent accidents.
