To the north of Hanzhong County, at the entrance of Ziwu Road.
Lu Xuan's army is stationed here.
The weather is getting colder and colder, although the climate in Hanzhong is better than that in Guanzhong. But it has already snowed in the high mountain areas in Hanzhong. Due to the sudden drop in temperature a few days ago, many soldiers contracted wind chill. Fortunately, Lu Xuan made timely arrangements and suppressed them all.
The soldiers gradually got used to the cold weather, and there were no more large-scale infections with wind and cold.
At present, Hanzhong is governed by Yan Pu and Pang Tong is in charge of the situation in Yizhou. The development trend is pretty good.
However, it was still very difficult for Lu Xuan to take the Ziwu Road to enter the pass. After all, Cao Cao blocked the exit of Ziwu Road. Coupled with the cold climate, it was very difficult to march and fight.
Lu Xuan's consideration is to launch a large-scale attack after next spring. If the Ziwu Road is impassable, the army will go from Yangping Pass to Wudu County, Liangzhou, then go north from Chencang Road to join Han Sui, and then go from Liangzhou to Guanzhong to attack.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Lu Xuan approached the brazier and lit the fire to dispel the chill.
While Lu Xuan was warming up the fire, Xu Chu came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Tianchou in Youzhou."
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Bring people in."
The attendant went to inform him, and after a while, a sentinel hurriedly entered, saluted Lu Xuan and handed him a letter.
Lu Xuan took it and checked it.
He quickly browsed down and saw Tian Chou's arrangements in Youzhou.
Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan, but Tian Chou remained stationary and used Gongsun Zan's Yijing City to consume Yuan Shao's troops. At the last critical moment, Tian Chou asked Zhang Liao to lead the army to fight, and Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, winning the victory in Yijing City.
There was also Gongsun Zan who thought he was right, and Tian Chou directly attacked him and dealt with Gongsun Zan without any scruples.
Tian Chou also plotted against Yuan Shao. In the battle at Muxian County, with the help of Xu You's surrender, he once again ambushed Yuan Shao's army and recruited Gao Lan and Zhang He to surrender. And Xu You attempted to seize power after surrendering, so Tian Chou directly killed Xu You.
Tian Chou elaborated on the war in detail, listing the contributions of Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Guan Jing and others, and also talked about the deployment of Gongsun Kang and Tian Yu, as well as his plans to further seize the territory of Jizhou.
Lu Xuan read them all and looked extremely excited.
The battle in Yi Jingcheng was a beautiful one.
The ambush of Yuan Shao was even more exciting.
After the first battle, Yuan Shao's strength in Jizhou was completely weakened. Yuan Shao does not have commanding generals like Gao Lan and Zhang He, and does not have tiger generals like Yan Liang and Wen Chou who rush into the battle. Even though Yuan Shao still has overall strength, he is like a tiger with missing teeth.
Tian Chou beat Gongsun Zan and killed Xu You, but Lu Xuan had no objection at all.
Tian Chou has done well in Youzhou.
Delegate power when it is time to do so.
Trust where trust is due.
Lu Xuan thought for a while, picked up the brush and wrote back. In the letter, Lu Xuanxian affirmed the dedication and contribution of Tian Chou, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu and others, and further affirmed the correctness of Tian Chou in beating Gongsun Zan to kill Xu You, and encouraged Tian Chou to lead people to make persistent efforts.
At the end of the letter, Lu Xuan authorized Tian Chou to handle the war in Youzhou and Jizhou to further expand the results of the war.
Lu Xuan checked it over before handing it over to the sentinel to send it away.
"Somebody come!"
Lu Xuan ordered.
Xu Chu entered and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan said: "Go and notify Jia Xu and Fazheng to discuss the matter."
"Here!"
Xu Chu went to make arrangements. After a while, Jia Xu and Fazheng entered the camp together, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan waved his hand for the two of them to sit down, and briefly and concisely talked about Tian Chou and Zhang Liao's defeat of Yuan Shao and the surrender of Zhang He and Gao Lan.
After explaining the general situation, Lu Xuan said excitedly: "Tian Chou's goal in the next stage is to capture Zhongshan Kingdom, Hejian Kingdom and Bohai County. In my opinion, it is not difficult to capture the three counties."
"Tian Chou ultimately wants to completely compress Yuan Shao's sphere of influence and control more of the Jizhou area. I believe that with Zhou Yu coordinating in Yanzhou and Kuai Liang coordinating in Qingzhou, Tian Chou has a great chance of seizing Jizhou."
Lu Xuan's voice was a little more passionate and he said: "The general trend of the world is already in our country of Wu. Unification can be put on the agenda."
call! !
After hearing this, Jia Xu and Fazheng both breathed rapidly.
The power of unification!
In the Han Dynasty more than ten years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion tore off the last dignity of the Han Dynasty, allowing the world to see that the Han Dynasty was extremely weak. Despite this, the Han Dynasty still had people's hearts.
It has developed so far that it is time for a change of dynasty.
The Kingdom of Wu controlled by Lu Xuan was defeated by Lu Xuan with one sword and one shot. He did not usurp the throne by forbearance and conspiracy, nor by relying on loyalty to the Han Dynasty.
This is Lu Xuan's biggest advantage.
If Lu Xuan wants to change the dynasty, everyone under his command will agree and no one will stop him.
Jia Xu had always been calm and composed, but when he heard Lu Xuan's words, he couldn't help but get excited. He had lived for most of his life and had seen Dong Zhuo enter Luoyang from Xiliang.
If Dong Zhuo did not change his character as a hero during the Xiliang period after entering Luoyang, the situation might be different.
However, Dong Zhuo was counterattacked by the scholar group of the Han Dynasty, who frequently killed people, insulted palace maids, and even deposed the emperor. All in all, Dong Zhuo pitted himself against the Han Dynasty, and was finally defeated in Chang'an and died tragically at the hands of Lu Bu.
Li Jue, Guo Si and others returned to Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, and destroyed the power in the court. However, they did not show any restraint. They made money wantonly, bullied the people, treated the emperor like a puppet, and completely tore off the last layer of the emperor. A fig leaf.
The imperial power has reached this point step by step, and only the last breath is left.
Jia Xu never thought that this day would come so quickly. He vaguely remembered that Lu Xuan came to Wancheng a few years ago, not to defeat Zhang Xiu, but to persuade him to submit.
A few years later, everything changed.
Jia Xu took another breath and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with the arrangement of unifying the world. However, it is freezing this year, so it is not possible to continue sending troops. In addition, Youzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou need to be further digested. I think that next year After spring begins, we can start a big war to wipe out the remaining Yuan Shao and Cao Cao."
"I second the proposal."
Fazheng nodded and said: "Mr. Wenhe's analysis is correct. The further north you go, the colder the weather will be. There are two advantages to attacking after spring next year."
"On the one hand, Wu State has enough food and grass support to continue the war. On the other hand, after the spring starts, we go north and enter the north. If the war is prolonged, we can harvest food on the spot during the autumn harvest."
"In short, we can have a little truce in the past few months to prepare for next year's war."
Fa Zheng said: "I am looking forward to the battle next year, looking forward to overthrowing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and unifying the world."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "I have also considered this. It is most appropriate to start the war next year."
The weather is getting colder and colder. After a while, the water in the north may turn into ice, so it is not appropriate to continue going north.
However, preparations can be made for unification.
Lu Xuan continued: "Since everyone agrees, I will write a letter and send it back to Shu County and leave it to Zhang Zhao for arrangement. Wu State must mobilize to prepare for the unification battle next year."
"Great King Shengming!"
Jia Xu and Fazheng answered in unison.
"Report!"
At this moment, Xu Chu came in again and reported: "Your Majesty, an old man named Yang Biao came to the gate of the camp. He claimed to be an envoy of the imperial court and wanted to meet the King in person."
