Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 570
On June 26, Zang Ai and Yang Mi stayed in Xiangping to continue their study and exchange, while Zhou Cang, Zang Ba, Pei Yuanshao and Bocai went to Xuantu.

Xuantu County has benefited a lot from the civil strife in Xianbei. Not only did it get a lot of cattle and sheep, but many small tribes went to Bocai to beg for their acceptance because they couldn't bear to be annexed. There are nearly [-] tribesmen accepted.

Relying on Guan Hai's notoriety, the Xianbei people never dared to enter the non-combat zone to plunder. Therefore, the life of the Xianbei people is still stable, with little land and insufficient water and grass. for farmers.Xianbei people don't care about production at all, and they are forced to make a living and have a tax-free policy. After more than half a year, they will resign themselves to their fate.

Seeing that there are so many Xianbei people, and most of them are women, Zang Ba was moved: "Liaohou, I just need people in Jilin, why not move them to Jilin to herd horses and sheep for me?"

Zhou Cang laughed: "Xianbei is different from other clans. They are all under my control, so I changed their customs. However, Xianbei is thousands of miles away, and less than one hundred people vote for me. If you want to convince others, you still need to rely on these people. The etiquette, according to my law, within a few years, the etiquette will naturally change."

"My lord, I want to extend another three hundred miles to the northwest." Bocai said.

"Not right, not right." Zhou Cang shook his head again and again. "At this time, Xianbei is panicked when expanding outside, and must stop the internal fighting and move outward with one heart. You can build a big city at the border. If the Xianbei people ask, you can say that it is to prevent war and chaos from affecting Xuantu. In addition, the city is also built for convenience. Trade between the two sides and protect the market. After the city is built, it will gradually expand outside the war zone."

Bo Cai laughed and said, "This strategy is very good, but building a city requires a lot of civil engineering, and there are a lot of pastures here, and not many trees and stones."

Zang Ba understood: "There are a lot of timber in Jilin, and I will bear it all by myself."

Bo Cai cupped his hands: "If you work, you will be protected."

Zhou Cang said: "Stone materials, Yuanzhi returned with a full load this time, so the transport vehicles can't return empty? If you can raise some more for you, I think it can make up for the shortage."

Bo Cai's eyes lit up: "That's right, that's right, Xu Yuanzhi can't just take advantage of it, no, I want to go back to Xiangping as soon as possible."

"You, why rush at this moment." Zhou Cang laughed. "In the future, this city will be called Mengcheng."

Taking the city as a base, and continuously expanding and encroaching, became the main strategy to deal with Xianbei. Zang Ba also moved this idea. After returning to Jilin, he built a city in the north, named Acheng, and Acheng and Mengcheng became strategic cities.

It took ten days to go back and forth to Xuantu, and when Zhoucang returned to Xiangping on the sixth day of July, Bocai went to Xu Shu overnight and asked Xu Shu to prepare stone materials and send them back by charcoal vehicles.

On the seventh day of July, Zang Ba bid farewell and returned to Jilin.That day Zhang Ja and Mi Fang rushed to Xiangping, Zhou Xi and Ma Xiu accompanied Zhang Ja, Mi Fang only brought his son Mi Zhen with him.The order to transfer Wang Xiu, Liu Li and Wang Dachui is still on the way, so these three people have not been informed yet and are still where they are.

When Ma Xiu and Ma Tie saw Zhou Cang, they cried and bowed to the ground, begging Zhou Cang to send troops to conquer Cao Cao to avenge their father.Zhou Cang couldn't help comforting the two of them. "I sent troops to Youzhou to rescue General Ma. Unexpectedly, General Ma was in trouble. I would attack Cao Cao without you saying it. It's just that Cao Cao is powerful and needs careful planning. I know that you two have no intention of being in Yingzhou, so I transferred you Coming to Liaodong, Ma Tie will be the commander of the first battalion, and Ma Xiu will be the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei."

Duanmuling held back the two of them: "My lord, my lord has a plan, and sooner or later I will avenge my father-in-law."

Zhou Chong said: "Maxiu, you come to my command to train newcomers and teach martial arts. Why don't you worry about revenge?"

After talking and persuading the two of them, Matthew formally reported to Zhou Chong.Zhang Ja and others went to the tomb of Zhang Jiong to mourn. Looking back on the past, Zhang Ja and Mi Fang were deeply moved.

Everyone had gathered, and the meeting started again on the eighth day of July. Because Xu Shu wanted to return to Youzhou as soon as possible, the main topic of this meeting was military. Xun Chen, Su Yang and others did not attend the meeting.Before discussing the military, Zhou Cang still has problems to solve first.

"Junyi has been in Yingzhou for more than half a year. Except for the North Island, the main island, the South Island and the Central Island have been recovered. What is Junyi thinking?"

"My lord took good care of me and put me in Yingzhou. Zhang Jai is very grateful. However, since he followed the lord, Zhang Jai has no intention of turning to others. Even in Cao Ying, he always cares about me. Hearing that the lord sent troops to Youzhou, he can't wait to come here immediately. The lord works!"

"Thirty years, a flick of a finger." Zhou Cang sighed softly.

Zhang Jai laughed: "My lord is very talented, I haven't listened to my lord reciting poems for a long time, and I'm still as bold as ever." After finishing speaking, his face straightened. "I am from Hejian. If my lord wants to send troops, I would like to be the pioneer!"

"Excellent!" Zhou Cang glanced at Xu Shu. "It seems that the battle between the rivers is none other than Jun Yi."

Xu Shu nodded with a smile. With Zhang Jaw leading the army, there was another [-]% chance of winning.

The governor of Yingzhou was vacant, and Zhou Cang made another personnel adjustment after some consideration. In Yingzhou: Zhou Xijin governor, Chen Zhong served as farewell driver, Liu Qing served as governor of Zhizhong, Huang Xu served as governor of Yingzhou, Mi Zhen served as lieutenant of Diannong, and Zhen Yao served as head of the firm. .Jeju: Mi Fang is still the governor, Du Xi is the governor, Zhou Xiang is the governor, and Xu Sheng is the governor of Jeju.Don't drive the vacancy in Pingzhou, transfer Meng Jian from Xuzhou to the north.

Zhou Xi suddenly became a big official in the frontier, and he was a little at a loss.Zhou Cang smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, I will explain it to you later."

Zhou Cang turned to Zhang Jaw and said, "Yuan Zhi has a good plan on how to use troops. It is inconvenient to go into details here. You and Yuan Zhi will think carefully when you go to Youzhou. Junyi is not allowed to show himself when he arrives at Hejian. When Wang Xiu arrives at Youzhou He came forward to take over Su Bo and Tian Yin's military power, and imprisoned him. With another order from me, he transferred Xu Sheng to Jeju to serve as the governor."

After Xu Shu briefly explained the situation in Youzhou to Zhang Jaw, he said: "Although I have a plan and a lot of preparations, I'm still afraid that I won't be able to hide it from Cao Cao. With Cao Cao around, I'm afraid it won't be effective. Although the lord has ordered Yuan Mai to submit a letter to his minister Paying tribute and returning the ministries of Xiapi and Pengcheng is not enough for Cao Cao's heart."

Zhou Cang sighed. "Two months ago, Cao Cao sent envoys to see me and Sun Quan respectively. They didn't say anything about taking back Youzhou and Lujiang. Yuan Fang and I speculated that Cao Cao wanted to stabilize us and prepare to send troops to Hanzhong, and planned to prepare Liu Bei in Bashu. But Cao was suspicious. , can’t guarantee that Hebei will not leave easily if there is nothing to do.”

"I know Cao Cao is deep. He is hesitating now. He is afraid that Liu Bei will take Bashu and Hanzhong. Not only will he be powerful, but he will also threaten Guanzhong. Later, he is afraid that we will take advantage of his absence and take advantage of Yedu." Zhang Jai smiled and said: "My lord With Yuan Zhi in it, some things are naturally unexpected. I have two strategies for the lord to consider."

"Speak quickly."

"Firstly, Cao Cao is worried, the lord and Yuan Zhi, if Yuan Zhi and the lord are not on good terms, what should Cao Cao think?"

Xu Shu is a smart person who knows everything at once. "Did Jun Yi set his mind on Yuan Mai?"
