In mid-August last year (the sixth year of Jian'an, 201), Kuaiji Prefect Lu Dai, was ordered by Sun Quan to attack Wujun, but was severely defeated by Wei Yan and Lu Xun. After this battle, Kuaiji army's strength was greatly damaged.

In order to prevent the counterattack of the enemy in Wu County, Lu Dai had to expand his troops in the county and replenish his troops. However, although Kuaiji is the largest in Jiangdong counties, the population is the smallest.

To expand the army, it should not affect the farming production in the coming year too much. After Lu Dai tried his best, he decided to use war to replenish troops—————————— plunder the people of Shanyue to reap the troops. (Note: In history, Lu Xun, He Qi and others rely on this method to expand their troops.)

With the support of Lu Dai, the Pingyue Captain He Qi called 3,000 troops under the tent, and borrowed 2,000 private soldiers from some clans in Kuaiji, and began to launch a erosion strategy against Shanyue.

He Qi was familiar with military studies since childhood and was well-versed in civil and military affairs. Since the first year of Jian'an, He Qi has made many military achievements since he joined Sun Ce. After a few years, he was promoted to the position of Pingyue Captain.

He Qi was originally a Kuaiji person and was very familiar with the geographical and cultural situation of Kuaiji. When he attacked Shanyue, he often attacked the strong with weak, but he rarely suffered a defeat. Although the people of Shanyue were brave, they knew very little about the way of using troops, so they were not He Qi at all.

When the battles and defeats were exhausted and countless people were lost, the Shanyue people hated and feared He Qi, but they had no choice but to hide in the mountains and not fight him head-on.

But this time, Shanyue was unavoidable. He Qi used the tricks of sneaking into the valley and playing trumpets and beating drums at night, and other suspicious soldiers, such as sending people to sneak into the valley to blow trumpets and drums, constantly forcing and compressing the living space of the Shanyue people. At the same time, the Kuaiji army also destroyed the fields of Shanyue people...... Helplessly, the head of Shanyue tribe in Kuaiji angrily gathered tens of thousands of young and Zhuang people to launch a counterattack against He Qi.

However, with his bloody courage alone, he could not defeat He Qi, a general with both wisdom and courage. He Qi led his army to deal with the Shanyue soldiers ten times more than ten days, and defeated his opponent three times.

Although He Qi did not defeat the enemy at all times, it had a great impact on the morale of the Shanyue people. The He Qi army pressed forward step by step, and as a last resort, the leader of the Shanyue tribe in Kuaiji had to entangle with He Qi and sent envoys to Danyang for help.

After going through hardships, the envoy first arrived near Wujun and begged Quanfan and Wei Yan to send troops to help.

Quan Fan already knows the oath agreement between his side and Shanyue, and is also clear that handling the relationship between Shanyue is very beneficial to stabilizing the situation in Jiangdong and increasing troops and replenishing households. Therefore.

After receiving the request for help, Quan Fan did not dare to neglect it. While sending a quick horse to convey the message to Danyang, he summoned the main generals in the county to discuss the matter.

Zhenwei's captain Jin Chou believed that the training of his new recruits had not been completed and it was not time to send troops. If he rashly sent troops, he might not be able to accomplish anything. The county officials represented by Lu Jun also agreed with this proposal.

But General Wei Dong Wei Yan held a different opinion—Wei Yan believed that Lu Dai and He Qi launched a large-scale strategy against Shanyue. It was precisely to replenish troops through battle. With the power of Shanyue, he was not a match for He Qi at all.

Therefore, the later the delay, the more troops He Qi may plunder. Moreover, now He Qi leads his troops to attack Shanyue. The defense within Kuaiji County must be empty, which is an excellent opportunity to attack.

The prefect Quan Fan agreed with Wei Yan's view, but it was an indisputable fact that Jin Chou said that the new recruits were not trained enough. Unable to agree, Quan Fan hurriedly sent his horse to Moling overnight. After receiving the letter.

Jian Yong, Lin Xue and Pang Tong discussed urgently, but no final decision was made. He had to write the reason for the matter in detail on the silk book and then send a quick horse to Shouchun.

Shouchun, County Governor's Office Conference Hall

After receiving Danyang's urgent report, my elder brother immediately summoned my second brother, Xu Shu and I discussed the matter.

"...In terms of power, this is indeed a good opportunity to send troops to Kuaiji." Based on known information, Xu Shu analyzed the pros and cons of sending troops to Kuaiji in a very detailed and detailed manner.

"But if you really send troops, there are two things that you have to carefully consider————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Secondly, if our army attacks Kuaiji, will Sun Quan take the opportunity to invade Danyang and Lujiang again? Although Sun Quan's army was defeated by the king and general in a row, now it is in chaos. But its strength is particularly strong and should not be ignored. And the civil strife will not be settled when it will be quelled.

So. This issue has to be paid attention to."

"Yuan Zhi's words are very..." After hearing this, the eldest brother pondered for a moment. He nodded and said yes. Then, the eldest brother turned to me and said, "Third brother, what do you have to say?"

Xu Shu's analysis was very comprehensive. After taking this as a reference, I carefully considered it, and made my own decision: "Brother, I am in love with the power, righteous with the benefit. I think I should send troops."

After a pause, I continued: "Although the two things that Yuan Zhi said are difficult to solve, there should be a way to do it..."

After listening to my plan, the eldest brother, second brother, and Xu Shu thought for a moment and nodded to show that it was feasible.

"Third brother..." After the general discussion of the matter, my elder brother mentioned another thing to me, "After you get married with your younger brother and sister, you will get together more and less. Some time ago, my younger brother and sister were pregnant, so it was not convenient to travel far.

But now Bao'er and Xingcai have been born safely, and I am ready to... After my brother and sister recover, I will order someone to escort her and her son to Moling. How about you?"

"..." After pondering for a moment, I finally shook my head and said, "Brother, there is no need to hurry up this matter. Danyang Xinding is not long, and the war in Jiangdong has not yet settled, so it is safer for them to stay in Shouchun.

In addition, Rong'er may not adapt to the water and soil of Jiangdong..."

"It makes sense..." The elder brother nodded slightly and said with some regret, "Since you have made up your mind, the elder brother still gave the same instructions as before - but if you have free time, I will go back to Shouchun to take a look.

With the strength of the black horse, it only took half a day to work from Moling to Shouchun. If you don’t do it for me and your second brother, you have to visit your younger brother and sister and your two children more..."

"I remember..."

"Third brother, do you need to transfer some soldiers from Shouchun to you..." the second brother asked.

"No need, second brother..." I smiled and shook my head, "Danyang, Wu Er County can be considered sufficient in military strength. It's just a little lack of training, and it's enough for now..."

………………………………………

After the meeting was over, I returned home and headed straight for the bedroom.

"See General!" When the two maids in the room saw me coming, they hurriedly saluted.

"Yeah..." I nodded and took a light step. Walked into the inner room.

Because of the burning of several small stoves, the room was as warm as spring. Rong'er wore a lake green silk skirt and a fox-haired cloak outside. She sat quietly beside the couch, laughing at the two little guys on the couch.

After more than ten days of rest, Rong'er's body has basically recovered, and her flawless face has rejuvenated. As a mother, Rong'er was originally as shy as a girl and did not completely take off.

But at the same time, it added a mature charm, especially the delicate body became more plump. After the mature charm and the shy girl merged together, Rong'er's gorgeousness could only be described as dazzling. Several times, I was fascinated by it...

"Honeyone!" Rong'er turned her head and smiled at me and said, "Come here..."

"Yeah!" I responded with a smile, walked to the couch gently. Rong'er grabbed my hand and snuggled up on me, saying softly: "Bao'er and Xingcai seem to have grown a little longer..."

"Yes..." I put Rong'er in my arms and nodded and echoed. In fact, the size of the two children has not changed much compared to a few days ago. It is mostly just Rong'er's psychological effect. But there is no doubt.

Hope that children grow up safely is the greatest wish of every parent...

Rong'er and I hugged each other, quietly watching our children... After a while, Rong'er asked softly: "My husband...when will we go to Jiangdong?"

"You know..." I sling Rong'er tighter and said sadly. "Tomorrow morning! There is another war in Jiangdong, I have to..."

"My husband, don't explain... I understand..." Rong'er turned around and looked straight at me with bright eyes that looked like water. "I have nothing else to ask for, I just hope that I will be fair and safe... Also, I can take the time to come back to see me, Baoer and Xingcai..."

"Yeah!" I nodded solemnly...

Rong'er looked relieved and buried her delicate body in my arms like a milk swallow throwing into the forest. She said nothing for a while...

"Wow..." The harmony and peace in the room were suddenly broken by a cry of a child. The boy Bao'er started to "howle" for some reason. Soon, even the girl Xingcai played the "dulo" with her brother...

"The child is hungry..." Rong'er left my arms and prepared to take care of the two children.

"Let the wet nurse take care of the child, we will..." I grabbed Rong'er.

"Pretty...master..." Rong'er Bingxue was smart and quickly understood what I meant, and immediately blushed. But after a moment, she shook her head with difficulty. "Master. The wet nurse said that she can't have sex for the time being after giving birth..."

"Haha..." I smiled and nodded. He said in a harmonious voice, "...I just want to be alone with my wife for one night, and I have no other intentions..." After that, I looked at Rong'er with some "ambiguity".

"Pretty... Master..." Rong'er's jade face flew countless red clouds, and her words also changed to "stuttering"...

The next day, early in the morning, I bid farewell to Rong'er and two brothers, and returned to Danyang to prepare for the Kuaiji strategy battle.

Xu Chang

After defeating Ma Chao and recapturing Yong and Sizhou, Cao Cao packed up his troops and returned to Xuchang, and suspended his military operations.

After a few months, the losses in several battlefields in Yongsi, Yanxu and Hebei were quite amazing. Even though Cao Cao's rule was rich in local people, they could not resist such consumption. Especially when the battle with Ma Chao was severely damaged by Cao's vitality.

The galloping of Ma Chao's iron cavalry lingers in the hearts of many Cao army soldiers like a nightmare. Fortunately, the nightmare has passed...

While suspending military operations, Cao Cao did not relax his vigilance against several major enemies at all. On the one hand, Cao Cao sent a detailed mail-snooping to speed up intelligence spy and infiltration against Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Yuan Tan, and other sides, and mobilized troops to guard several important military sites to prevent opponents (especially Liu Bei) from taking advantage of the situation to attack.

Cao Cao also ordered Cao Xiu, a garrison in Jinyang, to step up his efforts to force the surrender of the Bingzhou counties and counties. At the same time, the recruitment of new recruits is also in full swing.

Prime Minister's Office Conference Hall

“…………………General Cao Xiu sent troops to force the surrender to Shangjun.

As a result, Bingzhou was all located in Jinyang and south of Shangjun and under the rule of the Prime Minister..." Jia Xu reported slowly, "Now, Bingzhou is located in Yanmen, Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, and Shuofang counties in the northern border. It is still in Yuan Tan's hands..."

"Yeah..." Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Wenlie is doing a good job! Zixiao, you can allocate another 5,000 troops to Wenlie's command for him to continue to collect and collect the four northern counties!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Cao Ren responded quickly. After Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, Cao Ren's mission of governor Yan and Xu's two prefectures was over.

"Now half of the land in Bingzhou has been obtained by me, so one person should be arranged to take charge of Bingzhou..." Cao Cao looked at Shangshu Ling Xun Yu and asked, "Wenruo, who do you think can take this important task?"

The Shangshu Ling was the head of the Shangshu Terrace. During Cao Cao's expedition, all government orders were under the charge of Xun Yu, and the promotion of officials was also included.

"..." Xun Yu thought for a while and recommended someone to Cao Cao, "Prime Minister, how about Liang Xi, the prefect of Dongjun?"

"Well..." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Liang Ziyu is brave and talented, and he is not conservative in his directors, and is also well-known in fame. He is indeed the best candidate... Well, let's use Liang Xi as the governor of Bingzhou and order him to take office today!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Xun Yu responded in harmony.

"By the way, Wen Ruo..." Cao Cao seemed to remember something again and asked Xun Yu again, "How many people have Runan lost in total?"

"The news came from Yu Taishou yesterday. After the four counties east of Runan were captured by Guan Yu, the people in the county were moved away. It was estimated that there were about 90,000 people..." Xun Yu replied quickly.

"90,000 people!" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and sighed, "I never thought that Liu Xuande had become so realistic and had learned to replenish households through battles... It seems that it was the military advisor Xu Shu's idea again!"

After a pause, Cao Cao said to Cao Ren: "Zi Xiao, I have ordered the counties and counties bordering Shouchun. Be careful of Liu Bei's plunder of people. If there is any abnormal movement, I will immediately repay the prefecture!"

"Wenhe, have you ever found the traces of Ma Chao's remnants?" Cao Cao asked Jia Xu again. Although Ma Chao was defeated, as long as he did not die for a day, he would be Cao Cao's confidant. When he thought of Ma Chao's bravery at Hulao Pass, Cao Cao felt a headache.

Therefore, since Ma Chao cannot be reduced, it can only be eradicated.

"Report to the Prime Minister, there is no clear news yet!" Jia Xu replied in a deep voice, "But Xu has already spread the matter of Ma Chao's "intend to seize Hanzhong as the foundation to seek revenge to Hansui" in Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu seems to have mobilized troops to prepare for defense.

”

"Okay! In this way, Ma Chao had no hope of plotting against Hanzhong. Hanzhong was unavailable, Ma Chao could only seize Shangyong westward. Shangyong was the land of Liu Biao. In this way, the two tigers would inevitably fight! Hahaha..." Cao Cao said with a laugh.

"Prime Minister, Xu has found some news about Shouchun these days..." Jia Xu continued.

"Oh~~?" Cao Cao was immediately excited when he heard Shouchun and asked anxiously, "Come on!"

"A few days ago, Shouchun seemed to celebrate the city..."

"Celebrate? What's the matter?" Cao Cao was even more confused.

"It is reported that there are two things..." Jia Xu said with uncertainty, "One is to marry Guan Yunchang..."

"Yun Chang married?!!!" Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Cao Cao immediately clapped the table and said, "Yun Changshi's hero knows me again... Although he is in a hostile situation, he must congratulate this matter!"

"Gongda, please prepare generous gifts and order someone to send them to Shouchun to express my heart!" Cao Cao turned his head and ordered Xun You. Cao Cao's appreciation for Guan Yu was extremely high. Even if Guan Yu left with a seal and gold seal, Cao Cao's appreciation and love for him remained unreduced.

"yes!"

"What else is there?" Cao Cao asked Jia Xu again.

"I heard it was Zhang Fei who had a son..."

"I haven't heard that Zhang Fei has a wife, but now he has a son?" Cao Cao seemed very surprised.
