A few days later, Xun Zhen received Sun Jian's state newspaper.

Opening it to watch, Xun Zhen saw that Sun Jian had talked about four things in the state newspaper.

The first is to express gratitude to Xun Zhen for sending troops to rescue Runan.

The second one is about his battle experience and results in Hanoi.

After defeating Yang Chou, he moved his troops westward, and even the battle was broken. He conquered the eight counties west of Huai County and occupied the western part of Hanoi. Later, he turned his troops to the east and attacked Huai County. Huai County was the county seat of Hanoi, and Zhang Yang was in Here, the soldiers are abundant and food is sufficient, the city defense is strong, and the publicity orders the soldiers to pour water on the city wall, which makes the city wall more solid and slippery, so that people cannot climb it, and if it is attacked for a long time, it cannot be descended. The weather became colder after the snow, and the main force of Sun Jian's group was from the South, who could not bear the cold. Although there was no shortage of food supplies due to the counties in the west of Hanoi, there was not enough medicine. He also heard that although Lü Bu had withdrawn from the siege of Pingyu, he had captured the counties south of the Rushui River. Sun Jian then withdrew his troops from Hanoi, leaving Wu Jing as the prefect of Hanoi. Pingyu.

The third one, based on what I heard in Hanoi, said something about Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's war in Jizhou.

Hanoi is connected to Wei County in the north. While Sun Jian was attacking the city and conquering territory in Hanoi, he heard a lot of recent details about the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan pushed forward step by step, and had already removed all the strongholds that Yuan Shao had placed on the front line a few days ago, and sent troops to counterattack Beiqiu.

Yuan Shao relied on Quyi and worshipped him as a general, so he led his headquarters, and some elite soldiers assigned to him by Yuan Shao were the vanguards of the Yuan army, and they continued to harass Gongsun Zan's troops.

Qu Yi was originally Han Fu's subordinate. He rebelled against Han Fu last year, formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, and assisted Yuan Shao in forcing Han Fu to abdicate, thus making Yuan Shao the shepherd of Jizhou, and he served under Yuan Shao's account ever since. In the early years, Quyi often fought against Qiang Hu in Liangzhou, and there were not many episodes. However, all of them dared to die. When they were in battle, they regarded death as home. Although Gongsun Zan's soldiers were also good at fighting, in the battle with Quyi, they won less and lost more. .

Sun Jian judged: Although the left flank was threatened by Cao Cao, the road to Wei County had been opened, and there were no obstacles ahead. Gongsun Zan's general attack should be imminent. Less than half a month.

Fourth, Sun Jian thanked Xun Zhen again and made a request that Xun Zhen could keep Xu Xian’s department in Runan temporarily.

Unlike Xuzhou, Sun Jian has not been able to bring the entire territory of Yuzhou into substantial control since he led the Yuzhou Shepherd, so he has never been able to rectify his troops and horses. Xun Zhen had time to expand and train his troops, but he did not have the time. Therefore, in the short term, given the current situation in Yuzhou, his existing troops were no longer sufficient.

In his letter, he said: Hanoi has not been fully drawn out, and the rest of Zhang Yang's troops still exist. Lü Bu invaded Runan, and Yuzhou faced the enemy on both sides. After successive fierce battles, there were a few soldiers. Thief, is my hope. Food and equipment supplies are free to go out of Wuzhou.

Sun Jian has not stopped fighting in the past few months. He first attacked Chen State, then Liang State, then Hanoi, and then fought with Lu Bu in Runan. Even if the casualties of each battle were not many, the cumulative number was already there. Quite a lot, it is indeed not enough to face the enemy on both sides. Sun Jian had already discussed with the ministers such as Gong Qiucheng, and planned to let the tribe rest for a few months and recruit troops to train in order to restore their strength.

In fact, Sun Jian is now not only "enemy on both sides", Henan Yinxi borders Hongnong County, Hongnong County currently has Zhang Ji stationed, Zhang Ji is a party of Li Jue and Guo Si, and Sun Jian is also hostile. Zhang Ji only wanted to keep his territory and not expand accidentally, so he was not a threat to Sun Jian, because Sun Jian did not mention this person's name in the letter.

After reading Sun Jian's letter, Xun Zhen summoned Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Xun You to briefly inform them about Sun Jian's request to keep Xu Xian's ministry in Runan, and then asked for their opinions.

"Mount Tai has been decided. There is no need to use troops in the prefecture. The recruited new soldiers have been trained in the past few months, and they can be used. Since the grain, grain and weapons are all from Yuzhou, you might as well allow them to ask." This is Xun Yu Views.

Xi Zhicai also agreed, he said: "Xinxi was acquired by Lv Bu, and it is not far from Fuling after crossing Huainan. Yuanlu and Fubo were also captured by Lv Bu in the past, and their army pointed directly at Peinan. Sun Hou has no such request, and Wuzhou should also leave General Xu's headquarters to be stationed in Ruyin."

Xi Zhi is from the perspective of the safety of Fuling and Xiapi. Although it is unlikely that Lv Bu will move to attack Fuling and Peinan, anyway, there are no soldiers in the state now. Be prepared.

Xun Zhen asked Xun You for his opinion: "Gongda, what do you think?"

Xun You also agreed, saying: "General Ming and Sun Hou have a good alliance, and Yuzhou is in trouble, so they should help." He made some suggestions and said, "However, in your humble opinion, it seems that there is no need to keep General Xu in person, from father, Meng Tu, plus Li Wenda, three people are enough."

"From the Father" means Xun Yin.

Xun You was older than both Xun Yin and Xun Yu, and he was of a lower rank. In front of them, he had to be a child.

Seeing that the three of them had the same opinion, Xun Zhen said, "My intention is the same." After a while, Xun Zhen agreed with Xun You's proposal. At least before the winter passed, Lv Bu should not launch any more attacks, so there was no need to take Xu Xian. This officer will stay in Ruyin, so he summoned Yuan Sui and told him to use the name of the shogunate to send orders to Xu Xian and others, "Leave Li Tong, Xun Min, Xun Pu, and Zhang Fei in Ruyin, and the day when Junqing receives the order , you can lead the rest of your troops back." After thinking for a while, he said to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, you can list one, and you will be the commander of the Confucianism."

Yuan Sui and Xun Yu both agreed.

Xun Min's current job title is Confucianism in Xuzhou Prefecture, and now he wants to stay in Ruyin, Ruyin belongs to Yuzhou, Xuzhou's status is not suitable for him, and he needs to be given another title. When Xun Zhen gave the order to Yuan Sui, he put Li Tong's name in front of Xun Yin and others. This was because Xun Zhen had already appeared to the court and indicated Li Tong as a high-ranking general, Xun Yin and Xun Pu were both. Captain, Zhang Fei was the captain of the school, so his ranks were all under Li Tong.

The news that Li Tong was listed as the General of Zhonglang has spread in Runan.

The thousands of households that were lost in Langling couldn’t bear the brutal ravages of Lü Bu’s work. After Lü Bu moved the letter of praise, they fled one after another. Some crossed the Rushui and went north to the nearest Pingyu area. Some were grateful. Li Tong's old kindness and righteousness heard that Li Tong was stationed in Ruyin by Xun Zhenbiao for the sake of Zhonglang.

According to Xu Xian's military report, there are currently four or five hundred civilian households in Ruyin.

In today's troubled times~www.readwn.com~ it is not difficult to find fierce generals who can charge the battle, but there are not many talents who can appease the people and make them belong to the people. Xun Zhenyin has seen a lot of Li Tonggao. He said, "I tell Li Tong people that Li Tong is the main one in the matter of Ruyin."

Yuan Sui replied, "Yes."

Xun Zhen wrote a reply letter to Sun Jian by hand.

The reply letter, the order, and the above list were issued one after another.

Sun Jian received a reply and did not need to say more.

It is only said that Li Tong and others, after receiving the order, Xu Xian led the troops to return slowly, Li Tong was grateful, and said to the left and right: "I don't care that I have lost the Langling camp as a defeated army, and Zhendong is still very kind! Representing me as a high-ranking general in the middle of the country, and in return for paying all of your sinful affairs, scholars, Zhonglei, Li Feng, or Zhendong clan, or Zhendong veteran generals, and they were ordered by me, Zhendong’s kindness is inexhaustible Loyalty to do your best, nothing in return."

When Xu Xian returned to Xuzhou, he first came to Tanxian to return to his orders, and then returned to Xiapi, where he still managed the military in Xiapi and Pengcheng.
