After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Xiu left directly.

Today I just decided to send troops to Jiaozhou. The specific matters need to be discussed tomorrow. I will decide to bring those people, legions, etc. at that time.

This time, the journey of the Jiaozhou was actually long, and it was full of mountains and steep mountains or dense forests, so the overall difficulty of conquest was very high.

It not only tests logistics, but also tests the adaptability of the soldiers in Jingzhou. After all, poisonous fog and miasma are everywhere, so I am afraid that the number of employees will be reduced before the war begins.

Just like Cao Cao launched the Battle of Red Cliff in later generations, there were some epidemics before he fought. Of course, the outcome of the war is not determined by this factor.

After leaving the general's mansion, Zhang Xiu hesitated slightly.

In the end, he did not return home and went straight to the Lv Mansion. He was going to see his illegitimate son before going to war. After all, blood is thicker than water, so he is considered his own child.

After a while, in Lufu.

The servants at the mansion knew Zhang Xiu and did not dare to stop him. Zhang Xiu struded forward, took two steps and turned his head and said, "Is Lingqi in the mansion?"

"The head of the family has gone out, probably to teach her hundreds of female soldiers, and she hasn't been back for two or three days." The servant bowed and explained.

"Anthracene~, haven't been back for two or three days?" Zhang Xiu frowned slightly. She would never go home all night before training. These things have not returned for several consecutive days?

"This is not the first time the head of the family is like this. She seems to have taken the group of female soldiers to the mountains and forests to train their practical adaptability."

The servant explained in a low voice.

"Uh," Zhang Xiu was helpless. Lu Lingqi's training day and night was also heartbreaking. The reason why she did this was probably because she wanted to avenge Lu Bu.

Or maybe, I want to use this to paralyze myself.

Sighing softly, Zhang Xiu walked straight into the mansion and walked towards the backyard.

A few steps away, Zhang Xiu saw the beautiful beauty. She was holding a child in her arms, with a smile on her face, shaking the child.

approaching, bullying.

Diao Chan looked back, her beautiful eyes showed surprise, but also a fascinating smile. Zhang Xiu smiled gently, pinched her shoulders with her palms, and then slowly went down.

Get it, soft and soft!

Diao Chan gave Zhang Xiu a blank look and said in that crisp and moving voice: "No, no, Xu'er is still here,"

This charming glance made Zhang Xiu unable to hold back. He slowly bent down and whispered with his ears: "Is it true that if Xiu'er is not here..."

Zhang Xiu did not finish speaking, but turned around and shouted, "Wuhan, take the young master down to feed her."

"Yes," a woman in her thirties strode forward in the distance, bowing her head to respond.

As the woman left, Zhang Xiu showed a smirk and joked: "Xiao Xiu'er has gone to have breastfeeding. Do I have to try it out too?"

Listening to Zhang Xiu's words, Diao Chan dropped her head.

Feeling Zhang Xiu's incorruptible palms, Diao Chan's stunning cheeks were a little blushed, and she said in a light voice like a mosquito and flies: "General, there are many people here, so it's better not to be here."

"There is a study room over there, so I can serve the general well." Diao Chan's voice was very soft. At the end, she raised her stunning face and stared at Zhang Xiu.

For a long time before, she was self-doubted because Zhang Xiu had not favored her for a long time, so she was always a little disappointed.

Since he has come, he must do his best to serve. She asked herself that it would make Zhang Xiu unforgettable, and she has this capital.

"Gudu!" Zhang Xiu swallowed hard, something was wrong with her whole body. This is too "supported"? Who can withstand this?

Good, a wild group!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu picked up Diao Chan's petite body and strode towards the study on one side. This daytime effect is not very good.

a long time,

In the study room.

Zhang Xiu sat upright, but Diao Chan was working hard, "bearing her head and willing to be a ox for the child". She only heard the slurry, slurry, sounds from time to time.

…………

The next day, in the hall.

The emperor performed morning courts, but there were fewer officials in the court. Only the Kuai family and the Wang family were still there if they didn't like Zhang Xiu.

At this time, Zhang Xiu clasped his fists and said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, a few days ago, Your Majesty summoned the governor of Jiaozhou to the court as an official. The latter openly resisted the order, but also hoarded weapons and food."

"According to the investigation of the Weichen, this person intends to rebel, and he has colluded with the barbarians in the south of Sichuan and Shu, promised countless great men and asked them to come out to help."

"I think that if such rebels are allowed to exist, it will damage the majesty of our great Han Dynasty and the majesty of our great Han army. I want to send troops to attack, capture Jiaozhou, and conquer the lost territory."

After saying that, Zhang Xiu bowed with fists.

"We will discuss it!" all the court officials shouted.

Listening to Zhang Xiu's words, Kuai Liang frowned and showed a look of astonishment.

Zhang Xiu dares to send troops to Jiaozhou at this time?

Aren’t he afraid of a fire in the backyard? Moreover, there is some turmoil in Jingzhou. How dare Zhang Xiu leave after doing such a big thing!

As for Liu Xie, he did not dare to make arbitrary decisions on Zhang Xiu, and said tremblingly: "What I love said is very true, but Jiaozhou is thousands of miles away, and the road is dangerous and obstacles. How can I attack it?"

"Your Majesty, all the kings under the world are the kings, and all the kings are the kings and ministers."

"There are other scholars who have received the favor of the emperor, but they intend to rebel. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, I will take their heads to shock the power of the Han army." Zhang Xiu's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Your dear, you want to go in person?" Liu Xie was shocked and said quickly, but he realized it was inappropriate and pretended to be profound: "Your dear, you are very dangerous to go to Jiaozhou, I..."

"In this way, I will ask you to fight against the general for this rebellion, hold the false quarrels and axes to cut off everything without writing a letter. In addition, I will inform the world and reveal the face of the scholars."

"Enjoy the King's Banner, Enjoy the King's Army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xiuda looked at Liu Xie. This pussy was quite eye-catching.

Listening to Zhang Xiu's personal expedition, Kuai Liang's pupils were full of brilliance. Zhang Xiu's personal expedition was probably not that simple. Could it be that he wanted the silver snake to come out of the hole?

Are they snakes? Let them submit!

It’s not impossible. Once Zhang Xiu leaves, Jingzhou will inevitably be in a turbulent situation. He just worried that Zhang Xiu will take this opportunity to find an excuse to catch them all in one place.

Thinking of this, Kuai Liang nodded secretly, thinking that Zhang Xiu's acting was really good, but they could not be fooled. Because in his opinion, there was no need to go south to capture Shi Xie.

...

As the court meeting ends,

The news that Zhang Xiu was going to lead the army spread wildly. Countless people did not understand Zhang Xiu's approach and watched it quietly because they were the same as Kuai Liang thought.

Zhang Xiu would not go south to Jiaozhou for no reason.

So much so that the entire Jingzhou instantly surged undercurrents, and countless pairs of eyes stared at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu was also helpless. He really wanted to conquer Jiaozhou because he had time in this winter, and eradicating it in advance would be much better than rebellion afterwards.

Otherwise, if Yuan Shao goes south and he stabs Jing Nan with his back, he will feel uncomfortable.

After all, others don’t know the situation of Gongsun Zan, but he knows that in three or four months at most, Gongsun Zan will be gone. With the dominance of the Yuan family, at most, Yuan Shao will move his focus south to prepare for a decisive battle between the north and the south in May and June.

There is not much time left for him.

...

At this time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Xiu glanced at everyone, then said with a serious expression: "Jiazhi Shixie has ulterior motives, and he has a lot of connections with the Yuan family. Now that he refuses to enter the court, he must be trying to wait for Yuan Shao to go south."

"Now, it's only a few months since Yuan Shao went south. Although Jingzhou is undercurrent, foreign enemies must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless troubles. I want to send troops to Jiaozhou to pacify the Shi family."

"We are willing to openly expand our territory for the Lord!"

Everyone looked at each other and said firmly with their fists.

"Okay! This battle will mobilize Wenpin and his Second Corps to fight. Because Jiaozhou is densely covered with mountains and forests, it is difficult to transport supplies, and the number of people going to fight should not be too large."

"I want to 10,000 arches, drive away Jiaozhi, and match Jiaozhou." Zhang Xiu shouted loudly.

After saying that, he glanced around.

"Zhao Fan obeys the order and asks you to be the vanguard of the three armies, lead three thousand armors, and build roads and bridges for the three armies, and there must be no mistakes."

"No!" Zhao Fanying shouted.

"Niu Jin, Quan Rou, you two are the commanders of the left and right wings, each leading a thousand men, responsible for the safety of our army's wings, and there must be no mistakes!" Zhang Xiu shouted.

"No!" the two responded loudly.

"Xing Daorong, please lead two thousand troops for our rear army, be responsible for the supply and demand of the three armies, and prevent the enemy from attacking from behind, and do not make any mistakes."

"No!" Xing Daorong responded with a smile.

After saying this, Zhang Xiu hesitated a little and said again: "Gao Shun, this time you lead the camp and follow you, and you are in the central army. When you bring close contact with the enemy, you will defeat the enemy."

Gao Shun still needs to use this sharp blade.

"No!" Gao Shun was neither happy nor sad, and his face was still solemn and serious.

"Lu Su, you are responsible for the dispatch of the three armies' food, grass, weapons and supplies. You can mobilize military rations from all over Lingling later." Zhang Xiu reminded.

Before the three armies moved, food and supplies came first.

He has to make arrangements in advance, after all, the deep mountains and forests are still very problematic.
