The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 74
The county government of Changsha, Linxiang City.

Changsha is located in Jingnan, which was not a rich place in the late Han Dynasty.

The people outside the city have already been working hard with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky.

Cui Jun looked at him and shook his head helplessly.

If Xu Shu hadn't personally visited the mountain to see him, he really didn't want to go out of the mountain to be contaminated by this karma.

Of course, it was more because Zhang Xiu had defeated Cao Cao twice, and Nanyang was governed in an orderly manner. If it wasn't for this, no matter how much Xu Shu begged him, he would never help.

Shaoqing, will be in the mansion.

A scribe came quickly and said anxiously, "My lord, Zhang Xiu sent someone here."

"Oh, is it finally here?" Zhang Xian frowned, not surprised, "Go, let him in!"

The scribe nodded, and then said earnestly, "My lord, Zhang Xiu is not a simple person. Even if he forms an alliance and cooperates, he must be more open."

"Don't worry, military commander, I know it well!" Zhang Xian replied.

"Yeah," the scribe nodded and walked quickly.

After a while, Cui Jun strode over.

Looking at Zhang Xian who was sitting high, Cui Jun said sonorously, neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm Cui Jun, I have seen the prefect Zhang."

"Cui Jun?" Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows in surprise. If he remembered correctly, Cui Jun should be the son of Cui Lie. Cui Lie was the third son before him. It was not easy for Zhang Xiu to let Cui Jun come.

"Prefect Zhang, the strength of my lord should be obvious to all. This alliance has succeeded in destroying Liu Dingma, but I don't know if Prefect Zhang has prepared enough troops, horses, food and grass?"

Cui Jun clasped his fists and said in a low voice.

"Hehe, form an alliance to destroy Liu? I'm worried that after Liu is destroyed, I, Zhang Xian, will be next." Zhang Xian said with a sneer.

"Why did Zhang Taishou say that?"

"Liu Biao shot my lord's uncle? The hatred of killing my father is irreconcilable, and my lord will kill him as a matter of course."

"What's more, when my lord is fighting against Cao Cao in the north, Liu Biao actually gathered a large number of troops to garrison Fancheng, and wanted to take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack Xinye. It is really hateful."

"If my lord hadn't defeated Cao Cao in a row, I'm afraid Liu Biao would have already given him the head. My lord has long been in the same boat as Liu Biao, but he and the general are siblings. How could they fight each other?"

Cui Jun raised his eyebrows and questioned sonorously.

"Heh!" Zhang Xian chuckled, he didn't try to defend himself, because he knew that Zhang Xiuzhi was not here, but he was also unwilling to live with Jingnan.

They are just using each other!
As for who will win in the end, it depends on each individual's ability.

"There is nothing wrong with destroying Liu together, but how to destroy Liu? What about the queen who destroys Liu, and how will Jingzhou distribute it?" Zhang Xian said with a half-smile while playing with the cup in his hand.

What he cares about is territory and interests.

"It's not difficult to destroy Liu. Prefect Zhang just needs to lead the army northward, and after taking down the public security, he will go straight to Jiangling. In this way, Liu Biao will definitely send troops to help. At that time, my lord will go out of Nanyang and attack Jiangxia."

"Under the attack from the north and the south, Liu Biao was determined to be unable to look at the head and tail, and retreated to Xiangyang. At that time, my lord will go upstream from Jiangxia, and you will join forces with Zhang Taishou in Xiangyang to annihilate Liu Biao."

"So, after the matter is completed, Jiangxia will belong to my lord, and Nanjun will belong to you, the prefect, how about it?" Cui Jun asked tentatively.

"Oh, your lord played a good game of chess."

"Jiangxia is vast and sparsely populated, with no more than [-] defenders. Gong'an, Jiangling, and even Xiangyang are all Liu Biao's hinterlands. The soldiers are tightly guarded, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Even if I can capture these places, I will definitely suffer heavy losses. At that time, your lord will easily take the seven counties of Jingxiang, won't you?" Zhang Xian snorted coldly and shook his sleeves.

The corners of Cui Jun's eyes shrank, no wonder Xu Shu said to himself when he came, that this person is difficult to deal with, he is really tough, he couldn't help chuckling and said: "Prefect Zhang is serious, I wonder what Prefect Zhang thinks?"

"North and South attack."

"Jiangxia is located in a remote place, so don't worry about it. Your lord only needs to lead the army to attack Xiangyang, and I will lead the army to attack Gong'an and Jiangling."

"As long as these three places are captured, Liu Biao will be defeated without a fight."

With a slight smile in the corner of Zhang Xian's eyes, he spoke loudly.

"Take Xiangyang?" Cui Jun pretended to be taken aback, and said immediately: "Prefect Zhang, Xiangyang is surrounded by mountains and rivers. My lord has only infantry and no boat masters. How can we take it?"

"It doesn't matter, your lord only needs to contain Liu Biao's main force. After our army wins, we will attack Xiangyang in one fell swoop, how about it?" Zhang Xian smiled lightly.

His purpose is very simple, let Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu fight each other first, and after both losers, he will destroy Zhang Xiu first, and achieve hegemony in Pingjing Province.

"This." Cui Jun showed hesitation, and said in a deep voice for a long time: "That's all, that's it! I also hope that the general will keep his promise and not go back on his word."

"It's natural." Zhang Xian sneered.

"In this way, allow some time to prepare. In the middle of May, I hope that Prefect Zhang will arrive as scheduled and destroy Liu Biao together. It will be considered as an end to my lord's concern."

Cui Jun said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I will lead the army northward in mid-May, and I hope that your lord will spare no effort to attack Xiangyang." Zhang Xian said in a deep voice.

The two have their own ghosts, and neither is good.

Cui Jun negotiated with him for a long time, then bowed to leave.

Looking at Cui Junyuan's disappearing figure, Zhang Xian's gentle expression gradually dissipated and turned into a trace of coldness.

"My lord's trick, Zhang Xiu's subordinates are all cavalry, attacking Xiangyang is tantamount to asking for death." The scribe next to him sneered.

"Hmph, Zhang Xiu wants to use my hands to get rid of Liu Biao and occupy Jingzhou. It's really whimsical. Then I can bluff and pretend to be a soldier to lure this person to send troops."

"Once he and Liu Biao turn against each other and attack each other, then I will have Jingzhou at my fingertips." Zhang Xian clenched his five fingers tightly, with a hint of coldness on his face.

"My lord is wise, and many of my subordinates are inferior."

…………

A few days later, more than ten miles north of Xinye City.

At this time, a group of more than thirty people went straight to Xinye.

Beside the carriage, Cao Ang looked around.

In the carriage, it was Mrs. Yin sitting.

I saw that she was wearing a yellow dress, and her fair skin was irresistible, but there was a dignified, elegant and generous feeling in her gestures.

"Ang'er, we're going to Xinye City soon. This place is no better than Xuchang. Don't mess around, or no one will be able to save you." Yin lifted the curtain of the car and warned.

"Auntie, you have said it the sixth time."

"Auntie, don't worry, my father said, Zhang Xiu won't attack us in a short time." Cao Ang, who is not too old, responded with a word of praise and walked away.

"Hey!" Yin Shi helplessly shook his head.

Opening the curtains, she looked at the surrounding scenery, it was very nice, the green grass and red flowers gave people a sense of vitality, but what she couldn't understand was why did Zhang Xiu choose her?
At noon, the general's office.

"My lord, Cao Cao's family has arrived."
