The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 122 If Diao Chan Comes, Maybe...

A few days later, in the city of Xiangyang.

The past few days have exhausted Zhang Xiu.

Jingzhou is considered to have good weather and good harvest this year.

The common people are all smiling, and the good harvest means that they don't have to suffer from hunger.

These days, there are not enough grain farms everywhere, but I can't bear to open up some more. After all, this is all land, which is too wasteful.

At the granary, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw the bags of rice entering the warehouse. With these grains and grass, he could exchange for countless horses, iron stones, and attract many refugees.

At this time, Jia Xu walked over quickly.

Seeing Jia Xu's gloomy expression, he looked closely at Zhang Xiu, reprimanded his left and right sides in a deep voice, bowed and said, "Master, the current situation has changed, Cao Cao withdrew the Shouchun garrison, and Yuan Shu has returned to Shouchun."

"Withdrawn?" Zhang Xiu frowned. He remembered that Cao Cao took a while to withdraw. How could it be so fast.

"My lord, Cao Cao is really a traitor,
In order to involve the lord, he did not hesitate to help Sun Ce attack Danyang. Sun Ce had already led the army to attack Danyang by surprise, and he went down in three days. "

Jia Xu said with a solemn expression.

"Sun Ce captured Danyang?" Zhang Xiu frowned, with a dark expression on his face. This Cao Cao was really well-intentioned, and he did not hesitate to cultivate another overlord in order to check and balance himself.

"Well, it's not just that, Xiashanyue, the governor of several counties in Jingnan, has been active recently. Taking advantage of the people's autumn harvest, they plundered a lot of rations and killed many people."

"This group of Nanman is still preparing to capture the county seat. Originally, these Nanman did not dare to be so upright. I am afraid that Cao Cao is behind this."

Jia Xu said with a slightly irritable expression.

"The mountains are in turmoil?" Zhang Xiu raised his brows upside down, "Are they looking for death?"

Jia Xu shook his head, and immediately said: "Shan Yue Barbarians are a group of savages who have not faded their wisdom. Cao Cao must have promised them money, food and women, so they dared to attack our county."

"As for Cao Cao, he must have known that Sun Ce and the Nanman generals were in chaos, so he took this opportunity to send troops to Xuzhou in advance. I am afraid that the vanguard led by Xiahou Dun has already arrived at the city of Xuzhou by this time."

Zhang Xiu closed his eyes, this is really not good news, when he thinks that Cao Cao has both civil and military skills, especially Guo Jia and Xunyu, he can't help but feel pained, almost a handful of advisers under his command are not weaker than Jia Xu.

"Wenhe can teach me something?"

Jia Xu closed his eyes and meditated, and immediately said: "Now my lord should lead Gan Ning to reorganize the army, and prepare to send troops to Yuzhang, and strive to occupy Yuzhang before Sun Ce."

"In addition, Jingnan Shanyue must be killed, otherwise, if it is not eliminated today, it will definitely make a comeback in the next year. My lord should send the general to divide the army to suppress it."

"What about Cao Cao? Is it possible to sit back and watch Cao Cao attack Xuzhou and occupy the Central Plains?" Zhang Xiu asked with a frown.

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "He is bound to win Xuzhou, and our army should prepare to mobilize troops. It's time, my lord, to recall General Huang and prepare for the next year's Eastern Expedition."

"Eastern expedition to Yangzhou?" Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Jia Xu nodded and said solemnly: "Although Liu Zhang in Yizhou is stupid and useless, the country of Sichuan Prefecture is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is hard to take it. What's more, Liu Zhang has been in Yizhou for a long time, and it has already been deeply entrenched."

"On the contrary, Sun Ce of Yangzhou is a rising star. It has only been a few years since he captured Yangzhou, and the families under his command have not surrendered sincerely. The lord should fight against him, so that he can occupy the south of the Yangtze River and spy on the world."

Zhang Xiu frowned, attacking Yangzhou was a matter of time, but Cao Cao put him together, and if he didn't come back, wouldn't it make people feel uncomfortable?
Thinking about it, the teeth will rush away.

He bowed his head and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, there are more than ten horsemen coming from outside the city. They will call themselves Zhang Liao and bring Lu Bu's daughter to marry him."

"Zhang Liao? Marriage?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, showing surprise. There is something about marriage at this time. He remembered that when Lu Bu was in danger, he sought Yuan Shu's marriage.

It's just that Yuan Shu couldn't protect himself at that time, so it was nothing.

Jia Xu rolled her eyes and said anxiously: "My lord, Lu Bu's move must be to ask for help from my lord. Now that Cao Cao is sending troops to Xuzhou, Lu Bu is already a dead bone in the grave, my lord should refuse."

Zhang Xiu pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "Go, let them wait for me in the side hall of the general's mansion, I will be there later."

"My lord, just send them away, what's the purpose of receiving them?" Jia Xu said in a deep voice with slightly wrinkled eyes.

"Wen He doesn't need to say much, I know it well." Zhang Xiu raised his hand, and immediately said: "You go and order Huang Zhong to return to Jingzhou, and order Gan Ning to organize the army and prepare to go east."

"No!" Jia Xu bowed his hands, but he was a little worried. After all, Lv Bu was thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, so it would be unwise to get involved at this time.

In the same place, Zhang Xiu pondered for a while, then strode away.

In a few moments, the side hall of the general government.

Zhang Xiu came striding forward, and saw two people standing in the hall, one of them was eight feet long, tall and tall, with a stern face, no doubt it was Zhang Liao.

As for the side, Lu Lingqi frowned, she was wearing a tight dress, her hair was tied up in a bun, her appearance was not that glamorous, but she was more heroic.

At this time, the two stood up and bowed their heads,

"Zhang Liao, the general under Marquis Wen's tent, has seen General Cheqi. The daughter of Marquis Wen has seen General Cheqi."

"You're welcome, sit down."

Zhang Xiu waved his hand, quite generously, at the same time went straight to the first place, and shouted: "Come here, let's have a cup of tea."

Just waiting for the maid to pour the tea, Lu Lingqi didn't have the heart to taste the tea, her face was full of worry and urgency, maybe Cao Cao had already started to attack the city at this time.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, stood up and knelt down in the hall, and said in a distressed voice: "General, Cao Cao invaded the country and attacked my father. Lingqi begged the general to send troops to help."

On one side, Zhang Liao wanted to wave but didn't speak.

Looking at Lu Lingqi, who had red eyes and a slightly crying voice, Zhang Xiu pursed her lips and said, "Send troops to help? Then do you know that I have already formed an alliance with that Cao Cao?"

"Lingqi knows, but Lingqi still begs the general to send troops." After Lu Lingqi finished speaking, she bowed her head and kowtowed several times, then raised her stubborn cheek that was already wet with tears.

His beautiful eyes flashed decisively, and then he looked directly at Zhang Xiu, and said anxiously: "If the general is willing to send troops to help, Ling, Lingqi will still be dealt with by the general, and there will be no complaints or regrets."

Zhang Xiu chuckled, walked down the stage slowly, pinched Lu Lingqi's chin with tears hanging on it, and played with it: "Are you quite confident in yourself?"

As she said that, Zhang Xiu looked Lu Lingqi up and down, and teased, "But I don't like you very much, if Diao Chan..."

"Aunt?" Lu Lingqi's eyes trembled.

She is naturally aware of her aunt's beauty, and she has never seen anyone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her in today's world. Back then, her father just killed Dong Zhuo because he couldn't stand her aunt's beauty tricks.

But her aunt is her father, Ai Ji, so even if she died, she would not transfer her aunt to Zhang Xiu. Thinking of this, she felt a little desperate, and she was also thinking about it.
