Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 293 Secret Mission
Zhou Cang was stunned, why did the name Yang Zhu sound so familiar? The key person who caused Sun Quan and Lu Xun to tear apart completely in history was Yang Zhu. Could it be the same person?
"How old is Yang Zhu now?"

"Under seven years old, younger than Yang Rui."

uh ok.That's 50 years from now, no need to think about it now.

"Very good. For the time being, let him be the rafter of my mansion, and he will be reused in the future." Zhou Cang nodded and said, he always does not refuse anyone who has the ability. "It seems that the people of Soochow's army are not united. Then Sun Quan will definitely form an alliance with me and is willing to send troops to Jiangxia?"

"My lord, it's just like this. Sending troops to Jiangxia to avenge Sun Jian can not only improve his prestige in the army, but also reconcile Jiangdong's civil and military hearts. How could Sun Quan refuse to agree? This is all in the lord's expectation. It's just that he It is proposed that the Jiangdong Army should be the main force, and our army can only send infantry to fight as a support."

"Promise him, he is worried about the enmity between Gan Ning and Ling Tong. If you go to Jiangdong again, Ziming will not go. Gongming will go and get to know the heroes of Jiangdong by the way. Tell Sun Quan that I have already sent Gan to Jiangdong." Ning is transferred from Guangling, and you are fully responsible for sending troops to Jiangxia, discuss with him about sending troops."

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Xu Huang led the infantry to fight, and Xu Huang used to be in Lujiang, so he was familiar with that area.

"Yes." Xu Huang was a little excited about being able to play again, but he was a little regretful that he could not be the main force. However, he also knew that Jiangxia was where the three rivers converged, and the battle relied more on the navy, and infantry could not be the main force.Xu Huang is also wondering why Zhou Cang transferred Gan Ning away from Guangling. It seems that the answer is here, in order to ease the relationship with Sun Quan.

"Then how will the results of the war be distributed?"

"Sending troops to Jiangxia was originally not to fight for interests. I think it is impossible for Sun Quan to occupy a Jiangxia across the river. It would be outflanked by Liu Biao. For the same reason, it is impossible for us to send troops to garrison. So, Sun Quan and us will give each other Jiangxia's control. land." Zhou Wen smiled slightly.

"Yuan Fang is right. Land cannot be taken away, but people and property can be taken away. The final result may be to leave Liu Biao an empty city. The population of Jiangdong is not large, and Sun Quan is very likely to move the people to Jiangdong. Money, boats, etc. We don’t need weapons, we don’t have to, we can count as much as Jiangxia’s food, grass and cloth can bring back.” Zhou Cang did not tell Xu Huangming that these items will be used in Liaodong in the future. "We don't compete with Sun Quan for the common people, but for the craftsmen of shipbuilding and weaving, Gongming must find a way to bring them back."

"I will understand at the end." With Zhou Cang's bottom line, Xu Huang believed that he was sure that the negotiation would succeed.

"This time when I went to inspect Donglai, Pei Yuanshao complained to me. He is not afraid of leading troops to fight, but he is not good at governing the people. I think what he said makes sense. Therefore, Ziming's administrative department is temporarily handed over to Yuan Fang. You go Donglai will serve as the prefect, and I will find someone to replace you after a while."

Is this a demotion?Xu Huang was taken aback.However, Zhou Wen and Zhang Jiong already understood that Zhou Cang's inspection tour seemed to be very fruitful, and it was not just an eyebrow problem, so Zhang Jiong was sent to make preparations before the battle, so that the staff members were Zhang Jiong and Gan Ning In Dongnae.It's just why the lord still hides it from Xu Huang until now?Is it a bit overkill to send Xu Huang to Jiangxia? Is it to send Xu Huang away?
"When Ziming went, he brought Su Yang from Xuzhou Commercial Bank with him, and opened and expanded Donglai's business as soon as possible. Jizhou is very rich." Zhou Cang continued.

Zhang Jiong understood that this was to do big business with Yuan Tan. Su Yang's family came from a horse trade. It seems that the main purpose of the lord is horses. "clear."

Zhou Cang is very happy to talk to a sensible person, but he is a little bit sad to leave such a close person.

Zhang Jiong understood, and Zhou Wen naturally understood too. "By the way, my lord said last time that the investigation of Guan Hai has been completed. This man is indeed brave. He has the demeanor of General Hua Xiong, and his personality is very similar. He is not a treacherous person. The only shortcoming is his bloodthirsty."

"Is it bloodthirsty? It's nothing. It's just used on the battlefield. Cavalry combat requires his kind of ruthlessness. Then let him try it in Donglai first, and then make a big use of it later."

Zhou Wen and Zhang Jiong shuddered. Is my lord going to use Guan Hai in Liaodong?Then Guan Hai wants to kill how many people.

Zhou Cang looked at Xu Huang solemnly in a blink of an eye: "There is another big event for Gongming to go to Jiangxia. This matter will affect the foundation and development of my Xuzhou."

Xu Huang was taken aback. Could there be some secret mission?
"We have acquired Xuzhou, and the original stronghold in Dabie Mountain is not necessary, so I decided to gradually move the people from Dabie Mountain to Xuzhou to enrich the population of Xuzhou. Therefore, after taking Jiangxia, Gongming has another important thing to do, which is Escorting a large group of people to Xuzhou, I estimate that there will be 30 people, such a large-scale immigration, you must be prepared."

"What's so difficult about this matter? When the Yellow Turbans rebelled, millions of people were relocated."

"Does Gongming know how many people died during this period? These millions of people migrated like locusts crossing the border, looting everywhere for supplies, can this still be the case now? More than 2000 people died on the road, I only ask you, if there is any disturbance on the road, it will destroy me The reputation of Xuzhou is only yours, if the transfer goes smoothly, I will count your contribution."

Big move, Zhou Wen and Zhang Jiong nodded again and again. It seems that Xu Huang really has a heavy responsibility, and he missed it.How could Cao Cao not be disturbed by the migration of so many people? Could it be that the Lord is planning to move them to Liaodong in the next step?Jiang Xia's grain and grass can cover the expenses of these people along the way, and the cloth can be used for the winter in the future. It's hard for the Lord to think so carefully.

"You don't have to worry, you can transfer Ding Feng and Xu Sheng's navy from Guangling to assist in the transportation. Zhou Xiang is familiar with Zhou Cai, and I will let Zhou Xiang go with you."

"Yes, please don't worry, my lord." Xu Huang didn't know why, and thought that Zhou Cang simply wanted to give up Dabie Mountain. Although it was a big project, with Zhou Xiang's help, his burden was much lighter, as long as there were no accidents on the way.Sun Quan will not intervene, and Cao Xiu of Lujiang may intervene. Based on his friendship with Cao Xiu when he handed over Lujiang, at least he can guarantee that there will be no fight.

"One more thing. I plan to expand the internal guards into two battalions. One is that the guard battalion still has Dian Wei as its commander. The second is to add a detective battalion to protect the key institutions and personnel in Xuzhou. Well, just like Hua Tuo and Sun Mr. Gan is like this. Gan Chi will be in charge." Zhou Cang proposed the idea of ​​a detective camp.

Who is Gan Chi?That is the eldest uncle of the lord, and it is only natural to arrange for his own family.As for the protection of Mr. Hua Tuo, it may be because everyone made too much noise yesterday, so the lord made an impromptu decision. Hua Tuo wants to protect him well, but he is Xuzhou's treasure, and he will be counted on to save others in the future. Who can guarantee that he will not get sick or get injured in the future? ?
"What the lord said is very true. I didn't think about it so deeply, but let the lord bother."
