Wuling County, Linyuan county.

This is the seat of Wuling county and the political center of Wuling county. Compared with Changsha County, Lingling county and Guiyang County, Wuling county has more mountains and forests.

Wuling county is the most difficult place to govern, because there are a large number of Wuxi barbarians in Wuling county. These Wuxi barbarians often go out of the mountains to plunder, and they are extremely fierce, so it is difficult to eliminate them.

Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling County, has made great achievements in governing Wuling county because of Liu Biao's kindness. He actually gets along with wuximan people peacefully. Because Jin Xuan talks with wuximan personally and supplies some food every year, which makes wuximan not allowed to make trouble. At the same time, he asks wuximan to help Jin Xuan clean up bandits.

Only in this way can Wuling county be peaceful.

Taishou mansion, in the study.

A middle-aged man in his early thirties is sitting in a state of crisis and dealing with government affairs. This person is no other than Jin Xuan. Jin Xuan is now in his prime. He was born with a national face. He looks serious and gives people a rather severe feeling.

Now, Jin Xuan is constantly mobilizing troops to raise food and grass.

It's preparing for a big war.

"Newspaper!"

Outside the study, there was a knock on the door.

Jin Xuan said, "come in!"

The door creaked and was pulled back, but a middle-aged scholar in his late 30s entered the hall. His name was gong Zhi, a counselor of Jin Xuan.

After Gong Zhi saluted Jin Xuan, he said, "my Lord, Lingling County, Changsha County and Guiyang County have sent back news. Although the four counties do not respect Zhang Xiu together with the adults, they are actually unwilling to unite with the Lord to fight against Zhang Xiu. "

"A group of short sighted people!"

After hearing this, Jin Xuan gave a roar.

When Jin Xuan gets the news that Liu Biao died in the front line, he predicts that Zhang Xiu will definitely be ready to seize Jingzhou. So at that time, Jin Xuan sent people to unite with the other three counties, convinced the people of the three counties to issue a notice together, and only respected the order of Jingzhou Mu appointed by the imperial court. The reason for this was to resist Zhang Xiu.

However, considering Zhang Xiu's great potential, Jin Xuan hopes to unite with the other three counties to form an army to compete with Zhang Xiu.

Unfortunately, the three counties refused.

Gong Zhi continued: "so it is, but the officials of other counties have also said that they are willing to keep watch and help each other. Once Zhang Xiu attacks any county, she is willing to help. "

"That's not bad!"

When Jin Xuan heard the news, his face was slightly relieved. He said: "in fact, I hope Zhang Xiu will go directly south to attack Changsha County. Han Xuan likes to protect himself and is not willing to form a joint army. Once he is first attacked by Zhang Xiu, let's see what he says. "

Gong Zhi said: "Lord, although Liu Biao is dead, what if Zhang Xiu doesn't send troops even if she takes Jingzhou?"

Jin Xuan glanced at Gong Zhi and said, "do you think it's possible?"

Gong Zhi said: "the best result is naturally that Zhang Xiu only cares about Jingbei three counties, Nanyang County, Nanjun county and Jiangxia County, regardless of our Jingnan four counties, that is the best result."

"No way!"

Jin Xuan snorted and said, "if you're not ready, you'll be swallowed by Zhang Xiu."

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a soldier's voice came from outside the study. Not long after, the soldier reported: "to the governor, there is news from Jingzhou that Zhang Xiu led more than 15000 soldiers to Wuling county to kill them."

After a pause, the soldier said again: "but Zhang Xiu's army is in Jiangxia county. These 15000 soldiers are private soldiers raised by Zhang Xiu from the families in Jingzhou. "

"Ha ha ha..."

When Jin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Zhang Xiu is so arrogant that she doesn't mobilize the army. Instead, she relies on the private soldiers of the major families to go south. It seems that Zhang Xiu is really tired of living. "

But Zhang Zhuzhi is not so optimistic. Even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not Zhang Xiu's rivals. In my opinion, be careful. "

"That's true!"

After hearing this, Jin Xuan nodded and answered.

Jin Xuan waved his hand to let the soldiers back down, and said, "military commander, I asked you to send someone to inform shamoko, the king of wuximan. His reply at that time was that he was willing to send troops to help me. Now, where is it? "

Gong Zhi said: "in reply to my Lord, shamoko has already left. Yesterday, he sent back the news that he has entered Linyuan county. I guess we should be able to arrive today. "

Jin Xuan's eyes narrowed and said, "that's good. Now we can't lack shamoko."

Gong Zhi said: "every time shamoko sent troops, he was bound to ask the Lord to bring out money, food and weapons. After every war, shamoko had to search for weapons and food. Today, wuximan is very powerful. If we continue to provide food, I'm afraid wuximan's strength will become stronger and stronger, even out of control! "

Jin Xuan confidently said: "what can't be controlled? Wuxi barbarians gather in the mountains and live on the mountains. Few of them cultivated it. It was my official who provided food so that Wuxi people would not be hungry. Under this premise, as long as the official cut off the grain, wuximan would be completely affected. So don't worry about it. "After a pause, Jin Xuan said: "now Zhang Xiu is going to Wuling county to kill, and Zhang Xiu's troops are not enough. You immediately arrange for people to send letters to Han Xuan, Liu Du and others, so that they can mobilize troops from their respective counties and come to Wuling county to destroy Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu's troops are few, and it's time to wipe out Zhang Xiu. Once Zhang Xiu's troops gather from all directions, it will not be easy to deal with Zhang Xiu. "

"Here it is

Gong Zhi answers, turns around and leaves.

After Gong Zhi left, less than a quarter of an hour later, a soldier reported that shamoko went to the palace to ask for a meeting.

"Please

Jin Xuan didn't refuse, so he ordered directly.

Soon, shamoko entered.

Now, in his early twenties, shamoko has been king of wuximan for only two or three years. But it is precisely in these two or three years that wuximan's strength has expanded rapidly and become more and more powerful.

He is nine feet long and has a rough face. His eyes are blue, his face is black and red, his hair is scattered on his shoulders, and his face is very rough and fierce.

He was even more entwined with animal teeth, with a rough air.

When he saw Jin Xuan, he raised his head and said, "governor Jin, we meet again. You invited me this time to resist the army of Zhang Xiu. Although I am a barbarian, I know that Zhang Xiu is very powerful. It's not easy to resist Zhang Xiu. My condition is very simple. You give me 30000 stone grain, and I will obey your order. What do you think? "

30000 stone grain?

Hearing the words, Jin Xuan immediately frowned and said, "shamoko, your conditions are too harsh. As soon as you open your mouth, you will get 30000 stone grains, which is not easy for me. "

Shamoko said, "I don't care about this. Give it to me and I'll help you. If you don't leave now. The army under my command has arrived outside the city. It's up to you if you want to. "

"Good!"

Jin Xuan clenched his teeth and said, "I promise you, according to the previous rules, I will give you ten thousand stone grain first. I'll give you the 20000 stone grain after the war. "

"Cheerfulness!"

Shamoko grinned with joy. Thirty thousand stone grain is not a small amount. When it is sent to wuximan, wuximan will not be short of grain for a long time.

"I'm leaving. Inform me when I send troops. I'm just outside the city."

Shamoko did not stay, turned and left.

Jin Xuan looks at shamoko's back as he leaves, with a smile on his lips. He had more than ten thousand elite soldiers under his command, plus fifteen thousand Ximen soldiers from shamoko, as well as troops from other counties.

He will win this battle!
