Chapter 608

It rained cats and dogs all day. From morning to night, there was plenty of water in the dry fields. After a thorough heavy rain, the drought was finally alleviated.

Zhang Xiu has returned to Taiwei's residence.

He sat in the attic, looking at the light rain outside the window, with a smile on his face.

Now it's starting to rain less.

In a short time, there is no need to worry about drought.

It can be said that the people in Guanzhong survived the disaster. And Zhang Xiu also survived. In fact, the drought in Guanzhong this year would have been enough to destroy countless families if the government had not responded properly, continuously diverted water for disaster relief and kept down food prices.

After a heavy rain, everything was solved.

When it was nearly dark, Zhang Xiu, Huang Yueying and other four girls had dinner. As soon as Zhang Xiu returned to her study, a servant reported that Kuai Yue had come outside Taiwei's house.

Zhang Xiu directly arranged for people to invite them.

Not long after, Kuai Yue entered the study, saw Zhang Xiu, arched his hand and said: "humble Kuai Yue, meet the Lord."

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "sit down!"

"Thank you

Kuai Yue gave thanks.

In the face of today's Zhang Xiu, Kuai Yue is more and more respectful. Even in the face of Zhang Xiu, he feels more and more pressure. Once upon a time, when the Kuai family surrendered to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu's strength was not as strong as it is now.

In a short period of time, Zhang Xiu has become a great Han's Taiwei, more control of a county in Bingzhou, but also capture Liangzhou, stable in Guanzhong, strength has been quite powerful.

Zhang xiudao said, "what's the matter with this strange journey to the north?"

Kuai Yue replied, "it's a cliche to go north to Chang'an in a humble position. Liu Biao asked the Lord to fulfill his agreement and went south to capture Yuzhang County for him. Liu Biao has always remembered the original agreement. Before that, my Lord had said that he would go south in the second half of the year. Liu Biao has always been concerned about the situation of the Lord. As soon as he captured Liangzhou, he let him go northward. "

Zhang Xiu said: "if Liangzhou is pacified, Jingzhou can be captured. With a stable rear, it is appropriate to seize Jingzhou. "

"That's good, that's good."

Kuai Yue was also happy when he heard that, and said: "before, he thought that the Lord might attack Hanzhong. After all, Zhang Lu and Han Sui once attacked Chencang together."

"Not for the time being!"

Zhang Xiu shook her head and said, "Yizhou is not easy to attack, Hanzhong is not easy to attack. For the time being, don't beat Zhang Lu. "

The topography of Yizhou is clear to Zhang Xiu.

Shu Road is hard, but it is hard to reach the sky.

With his current strength, there is no need to waste too much energy to gnaw Hanzhong such a hard bone. After Taking Jingzhou, it's not too late to transfer troops to attack Zhanglu in Hanzhong. By that time, the area under Zhang Xiu's rule had surrounded the whole of Yizhou, and it would be easier to attack Hanzhong.

Kuai Yue's words changed and he said in a deep voice: "now the Lord wants to capture Jingzhou, I'm afraid it's not as easy as before."

Zhang Xiu asked, "why?"

Kuai Yue replied: "since the last time the Lord refused Liu Biao to go south to Yuzhang County, Liu Biao has recently consciously strengthened the control of the army and grasped the military power."

"In addition, Liu Biao is also purposefully adjusting the structure of officials. Even around Liu Biao, there is a counselor named Guyong, who is quite powerful and not easy to deal with. "

"Although humble, Cai Mao and others are still in high positions, in fact, we are not involved in military power now. In particular, the control of Xiangyang City is more strict. Now it is not easy to control Liu Biao in turn. "

Kuai Yue explained: "earlier on, Cai Mao was in charge of the army and had certain military power. But before that, Liu Biao used some small things to cut off Cai Mao's military power. Although Liu Biao also valued us, in fact, Liu Biao's military power was mainly in the hands of Wen pin. But Wen hired this man and was loyal to Liu Biao. "

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed and said: "it seems that Liu Biao has noticed something. Otherwise, there will be no adjustment and no recruitment of counsellors. "

"But it doesn't matter."

"When my troops go south and enter Xiangyang, if things go well, I will take Xiangyang. If things don't go well, they will unite Liu Biao's army to attack Yuzhang county and weaken Liu Biao's strength on the battlefield. "

"Finally, deal with Liu Biao."

Zhang Xiu said: "it's just a matter of morning and night. It doesn't hurt to postpone it. In a word, with your big families in Xiangyang, it is enough to help me ensure the change of power and local stability. "

Kuai Yue nodded: "this is no problem, but even local officials, Liu Biao is also making conscious adjustments. According to Liu Biao's style, it is weakening the power of Jingzhou people. "

Zhang Xiu said, "it's OK. There's no way. After all, Liu Biao is a herdsman in Jingzhou. He can't stop him from adjusting his officials. "

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, Wang Yue entered from outside the room.

Wang Yue looked solemn and said, "Lord, there is news from Yuzhou. Besides, there is more news from Zhuge Liang. "Zhang Xiu eyebrows up, it is a surprise, now there is Zhuge Liang's news. Since Pang Degong said that Zhuge Liang left Xiangyang quietly, Zhang Xiu stopped taking charge of Zhuge Liang, but arranged for the royal guards to pay attention to him. Unexpectedly, she inquired into the news.

Zhang Xiu took the letter from Wang Yue and quickly read it.

After a while, he read all of them.

Zhang Yu was surprised when he had embroidered his eyebrows. Because now Zhuge Liang has become an official early, and no surprise, he has worked for Liu Bei and become Liu Bei's military adviser.

Not only that, Liu Bei became a herdsman and took charge of Yuzhou. Of course, the whole Yuzhou is not in Liu Bei's hands. Today, Liu Bei only controls a part of the counties in Yuzhou.

When Zhuge Liang surrendered to Liu Bei is beyond textual research.

The cause of the incident in Yuzhou was the rebellion of the yellow scarf bandits in Runan, who were captured by Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, who was subordinated to Cao Cao, took the opportunity to ask Cao Cao to fight, and took the initiative to encircle and suppress the yellow scarf bandits in Yuzhou.

As soon as Liu Bei arrived, he recruited the yellow scarf thieves from Runan and occupied Runan County directly. Under Zhuge Liang's plan, in a short time, Liu Bei got a firm foothold and began to expand around Runan County.

At this time, Cao Cao was still busy attacking Lu Bu and had no time to solve Liu Bei's problems.

Liu Bei in history, in Runan County, has not yet been subordinated to Zhuge Liang. Even Liu Bei himself was not in Runan at this time.

Everything has changed.

The cause of all these changes is Zhuge Liang.

Because Zhuge Liang came to Liu Bei's side and gave advice for Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei get rid of the four wars in Xuzhou and move to Yuzhou to avoid the war temporarily.

Zhang Xiu rubs the message on the letter paper. Although it's unexpected, she doesn't pay much attention to it.

In Yuzhou, Liu Bei was not afraid.

There is no need for Zhang Xiu to send troops. When Cao Cao slows down, he will attack Liu Bei, because Yuzhou is Cao Cao's territory.

Zhang Xiu accepted the news and asked Wang Yue to step down. She turned to Kuai Yue and said, "Yidu, you should return to Xiangyang immediately and report to Liu Biao. I will send troops to Xiangyang later. This time I'm going south, I'll send 30000 troops to make Liu Biao ready to send troops. "

"Here it is

Kuai Yue responded directly.

Although the situation in Jingzhou has changed slightly. But for Zhang Xiu, in fact, it did not have much influence. Even if Liu Biao was in charge of the army, Zhang Xiu had enough assurance to win Jingzhou.

In other words, to win Xiangyang is to win Jingzhou.

Kuai Yue didn't stay and turned to leave.

Zhang Xiu arranged for the soldiers to inform the civil and military generals under her command. They came to the hall to discuss the issue of sending troops. All the six books of history headed by Xu Shu, Sima Yi, Guoyuan and others arrived.

Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Gao Lan, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Yan and others also attended.

Zhang Xiu looked around the crowd and said in a deep voice: "just now, Liu Biao sent Kuai more and more to ask me to go south to Jingzhou to help him capture the Yuzhang and break Jiangdong. Liangzhou calmed down and the drought eased. I'm going to take a rest and send troops south. "

The crowd was excited by the speech.

They all know the situation of Jingzhou, which is the place where Zhang Xiu first rose with her strength, and also the place where Zhang Xiu has many hidden strengths, especially Jingzhou is extremely rich.

If we seize Jingzhou, we can get countless money and grain to solve the grain problem in Guanzhong.
