Chapter 528 Xiao Yao accepts the Fan family

The situation in the world is developing in an unexpected direction.

By absorbing the territory of Cao Cao and Kong Rong, the imperial court directly expanded the territory to the East China Sea. At the same time, it reorganized the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army. The military power of Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Wu Anguo and other generals did not decrease in the slightest, but was improved. .

Now the so-called princes are nothing more than the Yuan brothers and Li Ming. Gongsun Zan has been defeated by Yuan Shao, and the situation in Hebei has basically been settled.

Yuan Shu was in the Central Plains, surrounded by the imperial army in the north, and threatened by Li Ming in the south, so he was in a very bad situation.Yang Hong proposed to let Yuan Shu take refuge in the imperial court in order to protect himself, but Yuan Shu ordered him to be punished for [-] years. In the end, because of Yang Hong's talent, he was not really honest, but it also let Yang Hong take off a layer of skin.

"If we continue, let alone the struggle between Chu and Han for supremacy, we may all be conquering the river!" Li Ming looked at the assimilated colors on the map, feeling a little chilled.

"Since Lu Bu came to join us, and Guan Yu is also in our army, a large part of the imperial army is now involved in Bashu, and at the same time, there is a shortage of food in various places. Although the imperial court has gained Yanzhou and Qingzhou, it has lost itself. The possibility of further action, on our side, food is not a problem! Maybe we can consider knocking down Yuzhou first?" Guo Jia stepped forward and advised.

Yuan Shu was really a dead bone in the tomb, and everything that should have rotted had already rotted away. Except for a few loyal ones, most of his courtiers had secretly sent letters, hoping to take refuge in Li Ming.In particular, Lei Bo and Chen Lan are the main ones. They are now guarding Shouchun, saying that as long as Li Ming needs it, they can directly open the city gate and let the army drive straight in.

In this severe drought, not to mention the imperial army, even Yuan Shu was worried about the food problem.Many aristocratic families no longer buy Yuan's account, at least Yuan Shu has not received much support in the Yuzhou area.

"It's not just Yuzhou!" Li Ming thought for a while, "Shove Xuzhou down too! Come to think of it, Xiahou Dun wouldn't defend Shan County so desperately for the court, would he?"

"Indeed, among other things, it is not a problem to defeat Donghai County! My lord, don't forget that we are also using troops in Jiaozhou and Jingnan!" Zhang Zhao stepped forward and remonstrated.

Li Ming just announced the swearing-in meeting a few days ago, so naturally it is impossible to do nothing.The Pound Department stationed in Changsha County, with Pound as the main general and Zhang He as the deputy general, attacked Wuling County with all their strength, and many Wulingman joined in as guides and combat forces.

At the same time, with Zu Lang as the main general and Huang Gai as the deputy general, the power attacked Guiyang County. Considering the shortage of manpower, Xiao Yao had already gone to support the guerrilla army. The county set out to attack Guiyang County.

Peng Hu of Nanhai County also attacked Cangwu County at the same time, which is equivalent to threatening Guiyang County in the south.

"Speaking of which, the order should have reached their side, right?" Li Ming calculated the time, and if nothing unexpected happened, the troops should have already started their journey.

"If there is no accident, we should have already set off, and there will be the latest battle report within ten days! My lord, your attention should be on the Central Plains region. Even if we take down Jingnan and Jiaozhou, it will take a long time for them to run well. After all Since 15 years ago, there have been constant rebellions in that area, and the population has dropped sharply," Zhang Zhao reminded.

There are more barbarians than Han people there. Even if the territory is established, how to naturalize the barbarians and expand the number of Han people are all headaches.In the end, part of the population must be migrated to Yangzhou, but everyone lives so well in Yangzhou, who would go to Jingnan four counties, or even a ghost place like Jiaozhou? !
In contrast, whether it is Yuzhou or Xuzhou, although it has gone through wars, it is still the land of the Central Plains, and the population is relatively dense.It is much easier to recover than those wild places.Not to mention the current drought year, as long as there is enough food, how many people do you want? !
During the period after the severe drought broke out, Xiapi County has accepted nearly 50 refugees who migrated from the north. They are all suffering people who have been hit by the disaster in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, or even Yuzhou and have no way to survive.Li Ming accepted it only because he was short of people at any time, and the key was that he also had enough reserves to meet the rations of these people.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the weather in Yizhou is not bad, and it seems that this year is bound to have a bumper harvest.The grain produced is not only enough to supply Yangzhou, but Xuzhou and Huainan areas can also be taken care of.

"Well, I know that both Yuan Shu and the court are in a weak period, but we have taken in so many refugees and wasted a lot of food to settle them. This time we can only dispatch 4 people, and we must Finish this battle within two months, otherwise the military rations will probably be insufficient!" Li Ming sighed, "How many people does Yuan Shu need, is there not enough ability to attack Xuzhou?"

Li Ming looked at Guo Jia and the others. The latter had already made statistics, especially Xi Zhicai had already checked the military ration reserves in various places, and then summarized the data. Finally, after Guo Jia checked and repeated calculations, he got a result.

"Huang Zhong's department can go north, and Lu Bu and Guan Yu should also be placed under his command. The goal is to conquer the entire county of Jiujiang County and try to attack Pei County; in addition, Xu Huang's department can go north to attack Dong County, and General Zhenbei can be in charge of the two armies. But it’s best for the lord to go to help. Then go west from Dongjun to attack Peijun. In this way, our army and Huang Zhong’s troops will attack from north to south. If we want to capture Jiujiang, Pei and Donghai counties within two months, we are more than [-]% sure! If you have time, you can try to invade Runan County!" Guo Jia said slowly.

"In the end, I'm going to the battlefield again! It's okay, it's meaningless to practice martial arts all the time! With the current physical condition, it is no longer possible to grow by relying on exercise alone!" Li Ming stood up, stretched his bones, and relaxed. Said slowly.

Everyone thought he was sitting in the back, abandoning martial arts and following literature?of course not!
Of course government affairs have to be dealt with, but there are two daughters, Xun Cai and Diao Chan, who will first classify the official documents, and then formulate the unimportant ones for approval.When it was urgent, read out the main points of the content, let Li Ming make the decision, and then the two of them would give a reply.

Li Ming didn't like the harem's involvement in politics, but Xun Cai and Diao Chan were more helping him than interested in power. This moved him very much, and it was also the main reason why he allowed the second daughter to help.

With the help of his second daughter, he was able to practice martial arts every day with his hands free, and even taught Li Chong how to practice martial arts.Li Chong's talent is good, the key has been to build his foundation with mysterious-level cheats since he was a child, the innate qi has been condensed, and the rest is to further strengthen it.

Li Ming has already taught him the skills of his master. After the optimization of "Overbearing", this secret book was naturally synthesized and advanced into "The Raksha Heart Sutra", which is a mysterious top-grade kung fu.Each level can provide +9 strength and +9 agility, and it also comes with the status of "War Ghost".

"It seems that we need to speed up the construction of the cabinet, right?" Zhang Zhao said angrily when he heard the words. After all, Li Ming discussed this system with him, so that he can fight on the front line without neglecting government affairs.

This cabinet is not that cabinet, and Li Ming does not want the power of the ministers to override the power of the monarch.Li Ming needs an emergency measure, or a wartime mechanism. During his campaign outside, basic government affairs can be handled by himself, and important affairs can also be handled in a reasonable procedure. Send it to him for decision.

With the hidden guards in charge of supervision, coupled with Li Ming's plan to open government affairs and multi-faceted supervision, it may not be so easy for the ministers to rise to power.

"Well, this really should speed up!" Li Ming nodded and replied.

Two days later, Lu Bu, who was on the front line of Jiujiang County, was planning to go south, but Huang Zhong called him over and told him Li Ming's decision.Of course Lu Bu agreed. He was disheartened at first and felt that he was not the material to be a lord, so he defected and allowed him to command an army. Now that he has a rare opportunity to show off, he naturally behaved very positively.

At the same time, Li Ming and the soldiers of the Guards also set off from Wanling in a mighty way, heading north into Xiapi County.

The line of sight shifted slightly to Guiyang County. After several days of attacking, with the help of Wulingman, Zulang's tribe bypassed several dangerous places guarded by heavily guarded troops, and launched a surprise attack on the defenders of Guiyang. Yang Dajun kept shrinking the line of defense.

At this time, Xiao Yao's guerrilla army also entered Guiyang County. Xiao Yao took the lead, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, and the city was invincible.During this period, he met Zhao Fan's general Bao Long who came to fight, but was beheaded by Xiao Yao.

Seeing that the situation was over, Zhao Fan surrendered Kaesong, and Guiyang County fell into Li Ming's hands.

Zu Lang and Xiao Yao join forces, and at the invitation of Zhao Fan, they enter the government office of Chen County as guests.A beautiful figure flashed by during the banquet, this person was wearing white linen clothes, obviously a person wearing mourning.Perhaps it really complied with the saying that "women should be pretty and be filial", Zu Lang and Xiao Yao watched for a while.

This performance was naturally noticed by Zhao Fan, his eyes rolled around, and he said slowly: "Are you two interested in her? She is my brother's wife Fan. It's a pity that my brother Fubo, a year ago Passed away. Now my sister-in-law is still in her prime, so it would be a pity if she were to remain a widow like this. If the two are interested, Zhao will make the decision and betroth her to a certain general, how about it?"

Zhao Fan was optimistic about Zu Lang at first, he is the chief general of the first army, and his position seems to be higher than that of Xiao Yao.It's a pity that when Zu Lang heard that she was actually a widow, he immediately felt a little disgusted.He already had a marriage contract with one of Peng's prostitutes. After the marriage, not only Wuyishan Peng would be his helper, but the key point was that he was more or less related to Li Ming, so naturally he would not want anyone else.

"You don't want it? Then I want it!" Xiao Yao looked at Zu Lang's disgusted expression, smiled, and took the woman down.

These days, women don't have sovereignty. Fan's family in Guiyang doesn't have any natal family to help her, so she has to rely on this uncle to take care of everything.Now that my uncle is the master and betroths him to Xiao Yao as a concubine, she has no room for resistance.

After crying for a while, she finally entered Xiao Yao's room.

 Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!

  Don't worry, I don't want to finish it unfinished. After all, the subscription to this book is good. I will write it patiently. The main purpose is to improve the speed and complete the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony as soon as possible. This is the climax part.
