The civil servants headed by Xu Shu all knew that Jingzhou, Kuai family, Cai family, Pang family and other aristocratic families were already on Zhang Xiu's side. As long as Zhang Xiu takes over Jingzhou, these big families will make efforts to change the wind direction of Jingzhou and let Zhang Xiu control the place.
So all of them didn't think how difficult it was to capture Jingzhou.
In terms of generals, not to mention. They are all eager to fight at once, and they are eager to fight against the enemy and make contributions in order to gain fame.
Although Xu Shu agreed, he was not arrogant. He said, "how many troops did the Lord lead when he went south?"
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu said, "it only needs Huang Zhong's 30000 flying bear troops to go south this time. There are many fields in the south, which is not suitable for too many cavalry. So this time, you don't have to go to Langya camp. "
After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "in addition to Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao went with the army. The rest of the generals stayed in Chang'an to train their soldiers. In terms of counselors, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and Guoyuan accompanied him. The rest of us will be in Chang'an. "
"Here it is
All of us should go down together.
For civil servants, there is no influence. After all, they have a lot of government affairs to deal with. On the contrary, Gan Ning, Chen Dao, Zhang Yan and others felt sorry that they did not get the opportunity to send troops.
Zhang Xiu arranges everything properly, lets the public go to prepare, and decides to send troops in three days.
Everyone retreated, but Zhang Xiu braved the rainy night to leave Taiwei's house and go to Chang'an Academy.
Today's academy has been completed.
In the Academy, people come and go.
Many of them are young taxis, as well as eight or nine year old children, all shuttling through the Academy. Today's academies have established a complete framework. From the age of seven or eight to the age of sixteen or seventeen, there is room for learning, and each of them is different.
Zhang Xiu arrived and met Yang Biao, the president of the hospital. Today's Yang Biao has a ruddy complexion and good spirit.
In the Academy, he was very busy.
Not only to be responsible for teaching, but also to deal with some college affairs.
Although busy, but also full.
Yang Biao said: "Taiwei appointed dezu to be the governor of Liangzhou. He is young and may do something wrong. I hope Taiwei can knock more. "
Zhang Xiu said: "Yang Gong doesn't have to be modest. Dezu is steady and has his own ideas. I'm relieved that he runs Liangzhou. What's more, with the help of Gao Lan's army, Duke Yang doesn't have to worry. "
Yang Biao said: "let Taiwei bother."
Zhang Xiu shook her head with a smile.
Yang Biao said in a deep voice: "Taiwei, there is a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not."
Zhang xiudao: "Yang Gong, but it's OK to say so."
Yang Biao said: "a few days ago, I received a letter from Xu Du, which was sent by Dong Cheng on behalf of the emperor. The emperor asked when the Taiwei was going to attack Cao Cao and save the emperor from fire and water. "
Zhang xiudao: "what do you think of Yang Gong?"
Yang Biao stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "now I'm light without an official. I don't hold an official position in the court, I don't seek my own political position, and I don't get involved in the political affairs of the court. So, I have no opinion. I'm just telling you what to do. It's the Taiwei's own business. "
Nowadays, Yang Biao lives a full life in the Academy.
There is no overt and covert struggle in the court.
There is no power struggle in the court.
There is no debate about loyalty and treachery in the court.
Yang Biao only needs to sincerely teach scholars and strive to develop Chang'an Academy. Yang Biao didn't want to be involved in the rest of the affairs.
It's not that Yang Biao is not loyal to the emperor, it's that under the current situation, Yang Biao doesn't know what to do.
It is impossible for Zhang Xiu to attack Cao Cao now, even in the eyes of an old minister like Yang Biao. Even though it can't save the current situation, it's better not to attack.
Therefore, Yang Biao is not willing to interfere.
Hearing Yang Biao's words, Zhang Xiu smiles and says, "Lord Yang, you can write back to Dong Cheng, saying that there is a severe drought in Guanzhong. I have no skills to attack Cao Cao, and I can't relieve the emperor's dilemma for the time being. Now it's decided in Guanzhong that there will be turmoil in Jingzhou. At the invitation of Liu Biao, I want to go south to Jingzhou. I don't have time for that. "
"I see."
Yang Biao nodded and answered.
As soon as the words changed, Yang Biao said with a smile: "there are many great Confucians and celebrities in today's academies. There are Guan Ning and Bing Yuan who came back from Liaodong, as well as some celebrities from all over the country. Today's Chang'an academy is full of talents. "
When talking about this, Yang Biao's face was full of joy.
He loved the excitement of the Academy.
It's a blessing that belongs to the scholar alone.
After chatting with Yang Biao for a while, Zhang Xiu didn't stay much. Instead of meeting Guan Ning, Bing yuan and others, he turned to the hospital to see Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo and others, and asked about the situation of the hospital.
Today's hospital is more lively.The so-called bustle is that there are countless patients, because there are such medical masters as Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, and all the dignitaries, rich businessmen and gentry from all over the country come to Chang'an for treatment. It can be said that there are too many people.
Even though the planned hospital is large in scale, it still has a huge number of patients.
The hospital is a cornucopia.
The hospital alone can earn countless money for Zhang Xiu every day.
After spending more than half an hour in the hospital, Zhang Xiu stopped staying, risked the night to leave and returned to Taiwei's house. When Zhang Xiu returned to Taiwei's house, the night was deep, and it was still raining outside.
At this time of rain, even more than in the evening.
Raindrops line up and keep falling.
Zhang Xiu looks at the heavy rain falling down, and her sorrow is gone. His subordinates, including hospitals, academies, and even the rice paper sold, have developed and begun to operate well. They continue to make blood for Zhang Xiu and ensure her financial stability.
This is the foundation of Zhang Xiu's campaign.
A heavy rain, under the full two days, around the pond, are full of water. Fortunately, the ditches have been dug long ago, the silt has been cleared, and the reinforcement of the dykes and dams has been strengthened. Therefore, the flooding of the river and the sudden drop of rain have little impact.
Everything went very well.
Three days is fleeting.
On this day, in the morning.
The weather has turned fine. After the heavy rain, the sky is clear and the sun is very bright.
After Zhang Xiu left Taiwei's house, she went straight to the barracks.
Huang Zhong has been waiting for a long time to mobilize his army.
"Let's go!"
At the command of Zhang Xiu, the army set out.
Zhang Xiu took Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Sima Yi, Guo Yuan and Pang Tong along with the Chinese army. Zhang Xiu left Chang'an and went south to Jingzhou.
Although it rained for two or three days from Chang'an, the road was not muddy and it was easy to drive. After all, it has been dry for several months in various places. After the surface rain has been soaked away, there has been no collapse of rocks. The roads are relatively smooth.
The army went south, mighty.
After entering Nanyang County from Chang'an, it has entered August, and the weather is getting cooler.
It's the most comfortable time to March.
Nanyang County under the rule of Zhang Xiu, this area is now booming. Especially in Luyang County of Nanyang County, Lushan anthracite is the most abundant place with rapid development.
In addition, Nanyang County is also quite prosperous and rich. After all, Nanyang County is connected with Guanzhong in the north and Xiangyang in Jingzhou in the south, with convenient transportation. In addition, Nanyang County is also the place where Zhang Xiu was the first to govern and develop the fastest and earliest.
