In the briefing, the process of how Lu Xun wiped out Zeng Xia was underestimated...

This is a briefing written by Lu Xun...

However, along with the briefing, there was also a letter written by Shi Xie, which clearly wrote the process of Lu Xun's extermination of Zeng Xia.

Judging from Shi Xie's letters, the process of Lu Xun's extermination of Zeng Xia was definitely not as simple as mentioned in the briefing.

Lu Xun spent a full year preparing for this extermination battle. During this period, he spent countless money and food to win over local indigenous seedlings, and at the same time allowed the soldiers coming from Liaodong to adapt. Liaodong was bitter and cold, and Jiaozhou's climate was warm. If there was no adaptation process, not to deal with the poisonous miasma in the mountains, I would probably not be able to adapt to the simple climate problem, let alone fight against the battle.

At first, many people were very dissatisfied with Lu Xun's approach and believed that he was consuming money and food.

Among them were Shi Xie's two sons, who repeatedly advised Shi Xie, saying that Lu Xun was not enough to rely on.

To be honest, Shi Xie was also very hesitant at that time.

However, Liu Yong took the initiative and expressed his willingness to guarantee Lu Xun.

In fact, it was this year's adaptive training that Lu Xun won seven battles and seven victories in Jieyang in half a year and completely wiped out Zeng Xia. At the same time, during this year, Lu Xun gathered about 130,000 natives from the mountains, making Nanhai County the third county with a population of more than 400,000 in Jiaozhou except for Jiaozhi and Yulin counties.

You should know that the entire Jiaozhou governs 7 counties and 57 counties, with a total population of only 2 million.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, wars continued in the Central Plains, and a large number of refugees moved to Jiaozhi to settle down. After Shi Xie took charge of Jiaozhou, he also developed vigorously. Among them, Jiaozhi has a population of 500,000 and Yulin has a population of 460,000, which is something that Shi Xie took nearly twenty years to do.

The combined population of these two counties accounts for almost half of the entire Jiaozhou population.

Previously, Nanhai County had a population of only more than 200,000, and was in the middle of the seven counties in Jiaozhou.

Lu Xun spent a year adding more than 100,000 people to Nanhai County, which greatly improved the strength of Nanhai County.

More importantly, Lu Xun established a port in Jieyang so that Liaodong's materials could be continuously transported.

You can think about it, in no time, Nanhai County will definitely become the most prosperous area in Jiaozhou... Shi Xie also felt tremendous pressure for this situation. In the past, he would never think that Lu Xun would threaten his dominance in Jiaozhou, but now... Shi Xie has to admit that the pressure Lu Xun brought to him is far from comparable to Liu Yong. Liu Yong is a martial artist after all. But Lu Xun is indeed both civil and military. At the same time, the Lu family is a powerful Jiangdong powerhouse. Although it has declined, the foundation is still there.

After Lu Xun's year in Nanhai County, he attracted many scholars from Jiangdong.

Not only that, Shi Xie also discovered that local scholars in Jiaozhou were also slowly increasing their ranks.

Liu Chuang swept the north and ordered the princes to take charge of Xudu, which made many people in Jiaozhou feel pressure.

Historically, since Jiaozhou is located in Lingnan and has to pass through Jiangdong and Jingzhou from the north. No matter how powerful Cao** is, he cannot pose a threat to Jiaozhou.

But now, Liu Chuang can provide reinforcements to Lu Xun from the sea at any time.

This also gradually changed the minds of the people of Jiaozhou, and they gradually became interested in the Central Plains.

In the past, Shi Xie said he was willing to submit to the court, but in fact, Jiaozhou has always been a foreigner. Now, it is not easy for Shi Xie to continue to be his King of Nanyue in Jiaozhou. Under Shi Xie, Huan Neighbor Huan Zhi, are all capable and talented, and now they are getting closer and closer to Lu Xun and Liu Yong.

In this case, Shi Xie had to sigh at the power of his junior brother.

The entire Nanhai County was controlled by him silently. If Shi Xie wanted to expel Liu Chuang's strength from the South China Sea, there would be a bloody battle that affected the entire Jiaozhou. Shi Xie did not want to start a war, which made Jiaozhou ravaged by the war; at the same time, he did not have the confidence to defeat Lu Xun, not only because Lu Xun has gained a foothold in the South China Sea, but more importantly, the people of Jiaozhou do not agree to start a war.

The waves of the Yangtze River push the waves forward, and the waves die on the beach.

Shi Xie couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. After discussing with his confidant, he decided to completely surrender to Liu Chuang.

In the past, he supported Liu Chuang because of Liu Tao. To be precise, Liu Chuang and Shi Xie were more of a cooperative relationship at that time.

But now, his relationship with Liu Chuang will change, from cooperation to main slave.

This is what Shi Xie expressed in his letter.

He admitted that he was old and probably was unable to continue to take on important responsibilities. He hoped that Liu Chuang could send someone to provide assistance.

To put it bluntly, he handed over his rule in Jiaozhou.

I believe that when Shi Xie wrote this letter, his heart must be very complicated.

At least after reading the letter, Liu Chuang felt a little emotional. When he had no place to settle down, Shi Xie expressed his support to him without hesitation. Although Shi Xie had not given Liu Chuang too much help from the actual surname over the years, he restrained Sun Quan and bought enough time for Liu Chuang. Liu Chuang would not forget this affection. If Shi Xie refused to bow his head, Liu Chuang would not feel it would be difficult. But now, since he expressed his intention to surrender, Liu Chuang became much more relaxed.

"Senior brother is very wise and is actually a role model at that time."

Liu Chuang put down the letter, looked at the Shihui, Shidang and Shizhi standing in front of him, and praised him.

These three people are all sons of Shi Xie.

Shi Xie asked them to come to deliver the letter, which also showed his attitude of surrender.

Shi Xie is indeed old and it is impossible to withstand the hardships of boats and trains. From Jiaozhou to the Central Plains, it is thousands of miles away, and if it is not done well, it will cause problems. In addition, he has been in Jiaozhou for a long time and does not want to leave. But he was afraid that Liu Chuang would feel dissatisfied, so he sent all his three sons to Liu Chuang. Shi Xie expressed his determination to be willing to surrender to Liu Chuang.

"I understand my senior brother's intentions.

You three, just stay by my side, so you can have a good future.”

"Before we set off, my father had already told us to obey the orders of the emperor."

Shi Hui was also an extremely proud person in history. Shi Xie surrendered to Sun Quan in history, but the three brothers of Shi Hui were very dissatisfied, so they rebelled and eventually harmed Sun Quan. Now, after they left Jiaozhou, they were equivalent to rootless Ping. No matter whether the three brothers were sincere or false, they had to obey Liu Chuang's arrangements when they came to the Central Plains... They also knew very well.

After settled the three brothers of the Shi family, Liu Chuang immediately recruited everyone to discuss the matter.

Now that he has more and more counselors and generals under his command, the pomp of the matter has become extremely high when discussing things.

In the hall of the General's Mansion, civil and military personnel were divided into two squads, with about twenty or thirty people.

Zhao Yun, Pang De, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Sheng, Gao Shun and others were on the side, and opposite were Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, Lu Yu and others. Such a pomp seemed shocking.

Guo Jia had been ill in Yangdi before and refused to come. Later, he came to Xudu after Xun Yu's persuasion.

Sitting in the hall, Guo Jia felt like he was a different life.

Back then, when Cao ** was in charge of the court, he was so prosperous and full of talents.

Now, not only did the number of people in this hall have not decreased, but the number of people has increased a lot, but the owner of this hall has changed...

"Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Just as Guo Jia was wandering around, Liu Chuang's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

He came to his senses and turned to look, and saw Liu Chuang looking at him with a smile.

A hint of shyness appeared on his face. He obviously did not listen to what Liu Chuang had just said, so he didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Xu Shu knew his words and looked at him, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's probably wrong for the lord to start a war in Jiangdong... Jiangdong is blocked by the Yangtze River, and Sun Quan has been in charge of Jiangdong for three lifetimes and has a stable foundation. If the war starts rashly, he will probably go through a lot of trouble. I think it's better to take Jingxiang first and then plot against Jiangdong."

It turned out that Liu Chuang planned to start a war in Jiangdong!

Guo Jia and Xun Yu exchanged glances and immediately realized.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "What Yuan Zhi said is indeed the way to plan the country.

If we use the theory of the Constant Resolution, the Emperor should have taken Jingxiang first... But the situation is different now. In the past, if we wanted to use troops to Jiangdong, seize Jingxiang, occupy the upper reaches, and then defeat them in one fell swoop. But now, the Emperor has Jiaozhou in the south to restrain the troops from Jiangdong, and a large army in the north to disperse the north bank of the river, and cross the river to fight. The most important thing is that the Emperor also has a surprise weapon in his hand."

"Shock?"

Xu Shu showed a look of surprise on his face. He couldn't figure out how Guo Jia knew about the "Shock Warrior" that he didn't even know.

Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "The 'striking weapon' mentioned by Fengxiao is the navy under the emperor's command."

To a certain extent, Xu Shu's strategic vision is indeed not as good as Zhuge Liang. However, after Xun Yu said this, he immediately reacted and understood what Guo Jia meant.

Liu Chuang smiled slightly and stood up.

At this time, Tai Shixiang and Jiang Jie, led a few followers and carried a heavy sand table into the hall.

"Please look, please."

Guo Jia is not unfamiliar with sand tables. When he was a prisoner in Yanjing, he had seen Liu Chuang and others perform battle situations through sand tables countless times. However, it was the first time that Xun Yu and Xun You and others saw such things. The precise annotation on the sand table made the old ministers of the Cao family secretly praise themselves. But when they understood the situation of the entire sand table, they felt an inexplicable sigh in their hearts.

On the sand table, Liu Chuang had already made various marks.

"This time I start a war against Jiangdong, I plan to advance three ways together!"

Liu Chuang spoke and pointed to the sand pan and said, "Jiazhou, attacked from south to north, came out from Longchuan, seized Tailing Mountain and took Nanye County, and held troops on the south bank of Yuzhang River to restrain the troops and horses of Yuzhang. Bo Yan was from Jiangdong, so he was the main general in this battle and went north to Yuzhang.

To the north, I planned to use Zhang Liao as the commander, Xu Huang as the assistant, and the troops went out to Shouchun, seize Hefei, and defend Xiaoyaojin.

The two groups of troops were mainly to restrain the forces of Jiangdong. The real attack came from the sea... After six years of training, our navy has gradually matured. Previously, my father-in-law built a workshop in Hailing and a naval base on Dongling Island, which could be used as the foundation of our navy. Therefore, I ordered Gan Ning as the main general to gather Fengchi and Li Dayin to gather the two navy units, totaling 800 naval ships, which could land from Qiantang Bay within three days and transport 50,000 sharp soldiers. Kuaiji is the hometown of Sun Quan. If Kuaiji is seized, it can directly threaten Wujun... By then, if I advance three ways, even if Sun Quan has thousands of means, it will be difficult to resist."

Navy, Navy...

Until this time, many people in this hall, especially the old minister Yuan Cong who followed Liu Chuang, understood Liu Chuang's intention to vigorously develop the navy.

If there is such a military force, the east side of the Yangtze River will be unprepared.

Xu Shu looked at the sand table, pondered for a moment and said, "But, what should Sun Quan asks Liu Biao for help?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Due to the grudges of Sun and Liu, do you think Liu Jingsheng will send troops to help?"

Xu Shu nodded, "That's true!"

He has generally understood Liu Biao's attitude.

After Liu Chuang entered Xudu, in mid-June, Liu Biao sent Kuai Rou to Xudu.

Although the two sides did not reach a clear intention, Xu Shu could see that Liu Biao was not willing to be an enemy of Liu Chuang in his heart.

No wonder Liu Chuang is now amazing and unstoppable.
