After looking at everyone, Luo Yang smiled faintly, drank the wine in his hand, turned to Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, tell me, should we do some exercise now?"
Unlike Guo Jiazhuan who is partial to military tactics, Xi Zhicai can be regarded as an all-rounder. Since he officially joined Luo Yang's account, Luo Yang finally got a taste of having a top strategist as his assistant! Regarding future troop dispatches
For the first time, Luo Yang had a clear understanding of the route! However, Luo Yang's other subordinates were not very clear about Xi Zhicai's ability, so this time Huang Zhong asked this question, and Luo Yang also took the opportunity to push Xi Zhicai out.
, let all the generals understand Xi Zhicai’s ability.
Of course Xi Zhicai knew Luo Yang's intention. He smiled faintly, put down the wine glass, nodded to everyone and said: "My lord! Generals! In fact, my lord has not ordered any external expansion during this period of time, but is waiting for an opportunity!
Since our army has only a short time to seize Jingzhou, we should take advantage of this opportunity to consolidate our army's foundation in Jingzhou!"
How could Zhou Cang, a rough old man, have heard so much? In addition, he drank more wine and his head started to get muddled again. Without waiting for Xi Zhi to finish speaking, he waved his hand and started mumbling: "Oh! How can there be such a thing?
How reasonable is that? General Huang is asking, isn't he? When can we mobilize the troops? We brothers are almost going crazy!"
"Zhou Cang! Shut up!" Luo Yang stared at Zhou Cang and started drinking. This kid has become more and more public recently. If you don't beat him, he doesn't know how high he will rise! "Drank some soup.
It’s like this! Believe it or not, I’m going to lock you up and ban you from drinking for a year!”
When Luo Yang yelled like this, Zhou Cang immediately shrank his head, and the arrogant look he had just disappeared in an instant. Just kidding, let alone a year, even a month without alcohol would be a bit overwhelming for Zhou Cang!
In addition, Zhou Cang is not stupid. He can see that Luo Yang is looking for an opportunity to catch his tail. How dare he show his head as a target!
Without Zhou Cang's interruption, Xi Zhicai continued: "Previously, my lord went north to challenge Dong. Although he was very successful, it also exposed his strength! Especially since my lord divided his troops into two groups, he even captured the city of Luoyang.
, If my lord hadn’t left in time that day, I’m afraid the princes of Guandong wouldn’t have let us leave so easily!”
Huang Zhong and others nodded one after another, but Guo Jia was still there drinking wine one after another as if no one else was watching, while Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard, seeming to be listening carefully to Xi Zhicai's words.
Analysis. After a while, Cheng Yu would turn his eyes to the other side. In that corner, a figure in a black coat seemed to be thinking about something.
Xi Zhicai continued: "Although my lord returned to Jingzhou smoothly in the end, it is expected that the princes of Guandong are now staring at my lord with wide eyes! Therefore, my lord cannot immediately send troops to expand his power. He must wait for my lord.
The influence in the hearts of those Guandong princes slowly fades away, and only then can the best effect be achieved by taking it by surprise!"
"Uh!" Huang Zhong couldn't help but be stunned, silent for a moment, and finally asked: "Does that mean we still have to wait now?"
"That's right! We just have to wait!" Xi Zhicai said firmly: "But my lord and I believe that there is no need to wait much longer! It will soon be time for our brave soldiers to reappear in the sight of the world! And the time has come.
At that time, we will definitely surprise the world's leaders! We will never forget the flag of our brave soldiers again!" Although Xi Zhi was only a scholar, these words really made the generals' blood boil.
Yes, they shouted in unison.
Luo Yang also laughed, patted his thigh hard, raised his wine glass, and shouted to everyone: "Okay! For Zhicai's words! Let's have a drink! I wish the brave soldiers to become famous all over the world!"
"The brave soldiers are mighty!" Everyone raised their wine glasses and started drinking in unison. Luo Yang took the lead and drank the wine in one gulp, and then they all laughed at the same time. They were very happy!
After such a small episode, everyone soon returned to the previous noisy state. The banquet was enjoyed by both the host and the guests, and it took more than two hours to end. After the banquet was over, everyone naturally
After bidding farewell to Luo Yang one by one, Lou Gui and others still had to pack up and prepare to rush to the place to take up their posts, while Huang Zhong and others also rushed to the military camp to handle some military affairs.
However, after everyone walked out of the Governor's Mansion one by one, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu were quietly invited back to the Governor's Mansion. Under the leadership of everyone, they came to the study in the backyard. In the study,
Luo Yang was already sitting there waiting with hangover tea, and besides Luo Yang, there was another person in the study, and it turned out to be Jia Xu, who had been keeping a low profile before!
Except for Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were not surprised by Jia Xu's appearance here, and Cheng Yu was just stunned for a moment before returning to normal. After the three of them entered the study, someone naturally came from outside the study door.
They closed the door and placed hangover tea in front of the seats for the three of them.
After drinking a few sips of hangover tea and sobering up, Luo Yang began to say to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng! You have just arrived in Xiangyang, and you should have rested for a few days, but now the manpower under a certain subordinate is insufficient.
It can only be Mr. Trouble!"
When he was just invited back, Cheng Yu had already guessed that Luo Yang must have something to discuss with their advisers, so it was not surprising. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you're welcome! I will serve my lord as my subordinates, so naturally I will serve you."
You need to share your worries with the lord! These are the duties of your subordinates. There is no need for the lord to do this. If you have anything to do, just give him your orders!"
What Cheng Yu said could be regarded as officially confirming the relationship between Luo Yang and him. Luo Yang smiled and nodded, and then said to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng has just arrived. I would like to appoint him to be the governor, manage the government affairs of Jingzhou, and also
Please take your time, sir!"
Now Luo Yang is the official governor of Jingzhou after all, and several of his advisers naturally have corresponding official positions. Xi Zhicai left Jingzhou and was in charge of all the affairs of Jingzhou. Guo Jia was still in charge, but it was the same as before.
The temporary army chief Bo was very different, and the authority in his hands was also much greater. As for Jia Xu, Luo Yang appointed a long history, not big or small, and it seemed that there was no arrangement for Jia Xu.
What kind of mission? It's just in the name of participating in politics.
In fact, it is not very appropriate to appoint Cheng Yu as Zhizhong to manage government affairs. Cheng Yu learned official ethics, but this government affairs does not only include the coordination of officials from various ministries, but also related internal affairs that need to be handled. Here
At one point, Cheng Yu is not good at it, but there is no way. Now Luo Yang does not have any great internal affairs talents, so he can only let Cheng Yu fill in the gaps temporarily! Fortunately, although he did not dig out any big talents during this period,
Although they are talented, we can still find a lot of capable officials like Liu Xiang, Lou Gui, and Liu Du. If we arrange them well, we can still barely maintain the operation of Jingzhou's government affairs!
Cheng Yu was not polite and directly accepted the order. However, after listening to Guo Jia's introduction to the current situation in Jingzhou, Cheng Yu inadvertently glanced at Jia Xu. This Jia Xu was definitely not an ordinary person, and neither did the lord Luo Yang.
He would be the kind of person who has no eyesight. I think Luo Yang just arranged a small long history for Jia Xu. Either Luo Yang had other arrangements to temporarily place him there, or Luo Yang had arranged for Jia Xu early.
I have done other tasks, but I can’t let others know about it. The so-called long history is just a way to hide it from others!
After arranging the positions for Cheng Yu, Luo Yang coughed lightly, and then they had to discuss the business! Arranging the positions was a matter of incidental procedures, otherwise there would be no need to call a few people back in private. Luo Yang swept
He glanced at everyone, smiled slightly, and said: "Yesterday, I received a secret report from the front. Yuan Shu finally couldn't help it and was ready to attack Nanyang!"
"Oh?" After hearing the news, except for Jia Xu, the other three people's eyes lit up. Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai had known about the entanglement between Luoyang and Yuan Shu for a long time, and Cheng Yu came to Xiangyang.
On the way, Guo Jia had also heard Guo Jia introduce the situation of Luo Yang in detail. Luo Yang had snatched Nanyang back while Yuan Shu was away. With Yuan Shu’s temperament, he would fight back sooner or later! But no one expected that Yuan Shu would actually come back.
I can endure it for so long!
Let’s say that outside Hulao Pass, after Luo Yang led his troops back, within a few days, accurate news came from Luoyang, confirming that it was Luoyang’s Jingzhou Army who had sneak attacked Luoyang City! After hearing this news, all the people in Guandong
All the princes were shocked, of course, except Cao Cao who had known about this for a long time, but Cao Cao did not reveal this.
At that time, Yuan Shao realized that he had been fooled by Luo Yang and was so angry that he almost turned around and pursued Luo Yang. Only after persuasion by Cao Cao and others, Yuan Shao reluctantly gave up the idea.
After resting for a few days, news came from Luoyang again. Dong Zhuo was so bold as to burn the city of Luoyang, take the emperor and officials hostage, and march westward to Chang'an! For a time, all the princes in Guandong were dumbfounded, and they finally managed to make such a good move.
In this situation, if Dong Zhuo escaped like this, wouldn't all the hard work of attacking Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass be in vain?
Cao Cao, who had long known from Luo Yang that there would be such a situation, stood up at this time and urged Yuan Shao to lead troops to pursue Dong Zhuo and not let Dong Zhuo escape! And just as Luo Yang said to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao immediately became hesitant.
I am extremely reluctant. Not only Yuan Shao, but other princes also have their own reasons. In short, no one responded to Cao Cao's call. I don't know whether Cao Cao is really angry or just acting. In short, from the information passed on, Cao Cao
After scolding him, he led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo!
