Chapter 338: Planning to Jiaozhou

Lu Su asked, "The Lord summoned me back, is there anything else that matters?"

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "You can't hide anything from Zijing. You can go and see something first." Zhou Yu said, and pointed his hand at the wall eastward.

When Lu Su saw a large map hanging on the wall, he walked slowly over and saw a long and flat area depicted on it, which looked like a huge bat, marked with the South China Sea, Cangwu, Hepu, Yulin, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Zhuyazhou and other places respectively.

Lu Su said in surprise: "Is the lord preparing to advance to Jiaozhou?"

Zhou Yu shook the snow-white feather fan and nodded, "I'm just thinking about it. Letting you come back is to ask for your opinion."

Lu Su felt Zhou Yu’s trust in him and was moved. He thought for a while and asked, “Jiaozhou is located at the southernmost end of the Han Dynasty, with a vast territory and mostly deserted people. That’s all in my impression. I wonder why the lord chose to attack it at this time?”

Zhou Yu smiled, pulled Lu Su down, and analyzed carefully: "Zijing, the military strategy is full of things. Knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle. In fact, as early as last year, I secretly sent people from Jingwuwei to various counties in Jiaozhou to carry out the work of detectives. At the beginning of this year, Ye Yu's staff were sent, look~~"

As he said that, Zhou Yu moved a thick stack of books from the desk, patted it gently, and said, "These are all sorted information on the counties and counties of Jiaozhou, mountains, geography, military distribution, fortresses, fortresses, abilities of guards, etc."

Lu Su took a book and browsed it roughly. He couldn't help but shine and said happily: "These information is recorded so detailed, so good! It's simply a guide book to guide Jiaozhou."

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "It really took a lot of effort to sort out the information. Fortunately, with the help of my wife, I will save a lot of worry."

Lu Su smiled mysteriously and said, "The lord's wife is really a virtuous man. I wonder if there is any joy?"

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Well... I'm sorry, there's no sign yet, I'll cheer up."

Lu Su understood the truth, and then smiled, and then said, "This is the lord's family matter, so it shouldn't be asked too much."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "You and I are sympathetic to brothers. If you don't care, I will blame you. However, let's continue to talk about Jiaozhou."

Lu Su nodded quickly, Zhou Yu pointed to the map with his hand and continued, "In the sixth year of Emperor Wu's Yuanding, our Han Dynasty pacified the Nanyue Kingdom and established the Jiaozhi Governor's headquarters. It was one of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty. There were nine counties in total, and it was also the southernmost territory of our Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, Jiaozhi was changed to Jiaozhou, and the prefecture was established by Long Group. General Ma Yuan once led his troops to quell the rebellion of the Zheng sisters, Jiaozhou Naian. Three years ago, the Chammen District killed the Xianglin County Magistrate of Rinan County and declared ***. They occupied most of the areas of Rinan County, took Brahminism as the state religion, established the Champo Kingdom, called himself the King of Linyi, and were bounded by our dynasty with Hue."

Lu Su said angrily: "I have heard of this, but the sun is too far away from us, so it's beyond the reach!"

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Those who offend our territory will be punished even if they are far away! Unfortunately, there are too few wise ministers like the former two governors of Jiaozhou, Lord Xia Fang. When Xia was in office, he had a very high prestige and was famous for his people. Now, the situation has deteriorated so that he can only conquer with force."

Lu Su hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Lord, conquest is necessary, but why do people rebel frequently? If they have food, clothes, and houses, how could they be bewitched by evil people? The governor of Xia still governs Jiaozhou, and he is mainly used to pacify. I think after conquering the southern part of the country, he should send flexible and flexible county magistrates to comfort the people more."

Zhou Yu smiled, "Zijing is a kind person after all. Many people think that the wilderness should be slaughtered to death. But my opinion is the same as you. It is better to be dispersed than to block, and to be scrupulous than to kill. Use fusion to replace barriers and exchange sincerity for sincerity. This is the way to govern."

Lu Suxi said happily: "If the lord thinks this way, it is a blessing for the people of other races. But... who will the lord send to conquer Jiaozhou?"

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su with a meaningful look and asked back, "Who is Zijing thinking suitable?"

Lu Su thought carefully and replied: "Now our army's troops are scattered in the vast areas of the six counties in Jiangdong, Jiangxia and Guiyang counties. We must defend against the attacks of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, and we must also deal with the harassment of the pirates in the Southeast. We have insufficient troops and insufficient generals. If we want to go on an expedition to Jiaozhou, we may not have the right candidate."

"Zi Jing said it is reasonable." Zhou Yu replied, "However, the soldiers are not always in shape and water are not fixed. Depending on the situation, our military distribution can still be adjusted. You see, Mr. Jiang Xia has Wenhe assisted General Wang Yue, and it is enough to deal with it. Guiyang has General Ziyi, and the enemy is weak, so don't worry too much. Liu Biao lost Jiangxia and Guiyang, and it is difficult to take care of each other from the beginning and the end. Behind it, there are threats from Yizhou and Yuzhou, and it is estimated that he will not dare to fight with us for the time being. Yuan Shu has experienced the battle in Hefei, so he will not dare to fight against our army easily. The pirates in the southeast are Xingba, and they cannot cause any big storms."

"I understand," Lu Su suddenly woke up and said hurriedly, "Does your lord want me to go?"

"That's the point." Zhou Yu nodded.

Lu Su clasped his fists with his hands and said solemnly: "I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Zhou Yu stretched out his hands and held Lu Su's hands tightly, looked at him with anticipation, and said, "I'm sorry, Zijing! I'm going to Jiaozhou to be high and far away, and there are many barbarians. You must take care of yourself and return safely!"

Lu Su's heart was filled with warmth, he blinked hard, and said aloud: "My lord, please don't worry, my life is not over, no one dares to take me away yet! I only hope to defeat the southern part of the Sun, destroy the Nelian, and promote the power of the Han people!"

"Okay!" Zhou Yu laughed, "Hefei's defense Zijing can rest assured. I immediately mobilized General Wen Xiang's Niuzhu Camp to Hefei. Together with General Wen Gui's 5,000 soldiers from the East County Camp, and General Deng's 20,000 troops in Quanjiao, they can handle Yuan Shu's attack."

"Okay," Lu Su replied, "I will go back to Hefei immediately to prepare for the army. This time our Dongcheng Camp will take on this important task, which is definitely our glory."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you fight alone. There are many mountains in Jiaozhou. I have selected five thousand young and strong soldiers in the surrendered Shanyue Strokes to form the Shanyue Camp. With General Zulang as the main general, they will be an important force. The plan is to use you as the head coach, General Xuangao as the deputy commander, General Zulang as the vanguard, five thousand light cavalry, five thousand mountain Yue, plus your 15,000 Dongcheng Camp, a total of 25,000 people, is it enough?"

Lu Su said happily: "The soldiers are in the essence, not in the many. General Xuangao's scout camp and General Zulang's Shanyue camp are all veterans with combat experience, which is enough!"

"Okay!" Zhou Yu patted Lu Su on the shoulder vigorously, "Zi Jing is really my right-hand man. If Zi Jing is here in everything, I will be free of worries."

I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
