Leaving the palace, Tian Xin rode Mondo and stayed in the mansion in the northeast corner of the northern city.

The northern city is much larger than the southern city, and nearly half of the land is still vacant and continues to be used as cultivated land.

"Husband, what does Your Majesty say?"

In the courtyard, Guan Ji brought light clothes for Tian Xin, and Tian Xin changed his clothes: "There's nothing to say, I can't persuade him, and he can't persuade me." He was in such a hurry that I said he would live to be eighty years old, but he didn't believe it, and he had to fight for this opportunity. ”

"The husband said that he laughed, His Majesty has been fighting horses for 30 years, and he is riddled with old diseases, so he will not believe what his husband says."

Guan Ji sorted out the round-necked narrow-sleeved dress that Tian Xin took off, and hesitated: "Husband, what are the chances of Your Majesty's Northern Expedition?" ”

"Sixty percent."

Tian Xin did not hesitate: "Your Majesty, it is close to eighty percent here...... If there were really eighty percent, Cao Pi would have turned against him and surrendered with Lilly. ”

Seeing that Guan Ji was depressed, Tian Xin continued: "Your Majesty suddenly talked about Tao Qian's decision to let Xuzhou and the Danyang soldiers mutiny to welcome Lu Bu into Xuzhou. Meaningful, I didn't answer. ”

Now Xi Zhen, the captain of Jiangdu's city gate, is a relatively neutral person, and in this position, his willingness to be biased towards neutrality is a very dangerous and abnormal thing.

The brothers Xi Zhen and Xi Hong followed Pang Tong and joined the Han army with Pang Tong; After Pang Tong died unexpectedly, Pang Lin rose again, Pang Tong's son Pang Hong also had a bright future, and the friendship between the Xi family and the Pang family was consolidated.

Xi Zhen may not be towards himself, but he will never sit back and watch Pang Hong and Pang Lin being implicated by himself.

So Xi Zhen has no choice, he will be a neutral city gate captain; Any army that violates the procedures of the imperial court for transferring troops will be blocked by Xi Zhen.

If Jiang Du changes, the fuses on both sides of Xi Zhen's soldiers will be blown at the first time.

Guan Ji hugged the dress and fell into thought, if Jiangdu corresponds to Xiapi, then the Danyang soldiers correspond to Zhao Yun's guards.

The Guard has been repeatedly retrenched and merged, and now has twenty-eight battalions; Following the model of the Beifu military tun, the military tun was carried out around Jiangdu and served in turns, so there were seven battalions of guards on duty in the barracks at all times.

Of the twenty-eight battalions, the twenty battalions cut from Beifu were reduced to fifteen, the three battalions ceded by Guan Yu were reduced to two, and the seven battalions of the four counties of Xiangzhou were reduced to five.

This is a unit refined by Zhao Yun, but no matter how refined it is, the original imprint of the officials is still there, and it will take about two or three years to polish off most of the imprints.

Therefore, there were twenty-eight battalions of the Guard, and twenty-two battalions were affected by their own home.

Guan Ji thought again and again: "Husband, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”

"There's no other meaning, either I will take these people to open up Lingnan, or I will really let it go and let General Zilong mix it up."

Tian Xin said and picked up the clay pot on the table, took a sip, and stood in front of the hall looking at the clusters of large-leaved taro growing in the courtyard, and the white sunlight fell on the courtyard, slightly dazzling.

recalled the situation when the Danyang soldiers welcomed Lu Bu into Xuzhou, when the Xuchang court had an edict, Liu Bei led people south to fight against Yuan Shu, who had many generals; With the rebellion of the Danyang soldiers to welcome Lu Bu into Xuzhou, the supply was cut off, and Liu Bei was trapped in the lonely city, which had reached the miserable point of cannibalism among the officials.

couldn't bear it, and couldn't wait for reinforcements from the Xuchang court, Liu Bei had no choice but to aggrieve himself and give in to Lu Bu.

The situation between them is somewhat close, Cao Pi in the north can be understood as the eldest Yuan Shu, Liu Bei wants to personally conquer this time, worried about the recurrence of the incident in Xuzhou.

This has nothing to do with trusting yourself, you must know that it was completely handled by Danyang Bing back then, and Lu Bu sat back and enjoyed it.

Lu Bu had no contact with Danyang Bing beforehand, purely because Danyang Bing wanted to change to a more capable boss.

The reason why the troubled times are chaotic is that too many things are unpredictable, and many people's behavioral standards are chaotic, without long-term planning, and even dare to do things that raid their homes and destroy their homes at the slightest moment.

If the troops left behind in Jiangdu suddenly planted a big banner with the character 'Chen' on the head of Jiangdu under the lure and impetus of some factors, then everything would be over.

Now we must be vigilant against the Wei State spies taking the opportunity to divide and create internal antagonism.

Guan Ji folded the dress and put it into the sliding cabinet, walked briskly to Tian Xin's side, and also looked at the taro growing vigorously in the courtyard, this is an excellent variety brought by Tian Xin from Lingnan, and the leaves are extraordinarily large, similar to lotus leaves: "How does the husband decide?" ”

"I don't want to follow Your Majesty to gamble anymore, since it is a hidden danger, then I will take these hidden dangers to open up the territory."

Tian Xin took her into his arms, and the loneliness in his heart gradually dissipated: "The development of Lingnan must be carried out by three generations, if the 20th battalion of the guard army is moved to Lingnan, the development can be completed in two generations." ”

The development of three generations is relatively gentle, and can give the indigenous tribes a lot of leeway...... Two generations of development, that will be a storm, survival of the fittest.

Two generations, which seems to be a long time, is actually just more than 30 years.

The most scarce manpower in the north is not lacking in Lingnan; After Jiangdong's subordinate team and shipwrights arrived in Lingnan, the entire Nanyang was their own back garden, and they could take what they lacked.

Wait for the north to recover...... Such a large dumping market is the only one in the world.

Sooner or later, a civil war will break out, which is something that he can't suppress, and Zhuge Liang can't suppress.

Unless he is willing to change a developed Lingnan and return it to the imperial court; Or share the wealth password, otherwise the so-called family and Haoqiang can only be reduced to compradors, contractors, and general agents in various places.

Guan Ji couldn't guess what he was thinking, and asked, "Then when Your Majesty went on the Northern Expedition, my family moved to Lingnan?" ”

"Yes, out of sight, out of mind."

Tian Xin took a long breath as he spoke, with a smile between his eyebrows: "Over the years, I have become more and more convinced that one thing determines one's fate. Some people are really not favored by the soldiers. ”

Guan Ji gave him a light elbow: "It's obviously a joke from the husband, which makes Ma Jichang suspicious, difficult to get along with colleagues, and the officials are even more disgusted and resistant, how can Ma Jichang still command the troops?" Ma Youchang is often strong and autocratic, and he wants to prove his ability to command the army...... This has violated the taboo of soldiers. ”

The reason is very simple, does the soldier master favor the Ma brothers...... There is no need to argue anymore.

The foundation of Ma Liang's command of the army has been destroyed, and even if he is a counselor of the military aircraft and has the correct strategy and tactics, few people are willing to adopt it.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Ma Liang must not accept their fate, even if it is just to prove that their predictions are wrong, they must give Ma Liang and Ma Jian a chance to prove it.

Could it be that reminding Ma Liang and Ma Jian would be unstable factors during the Northern Expedition?

What's the use? Isn't Liu Bei clear? It's just that I do my own thing, I don't accept my fate, and I don't recognize my evaluation of the Ma brothers.

The pressure of the Ma brothers' Northern Expedition was absolutely great, and Liu Bei wanted to lead the Han army to the Northern Expedition, indicating that the Han family had the Mandate of Heaven in hand and could successfully conquer the rebels; The Ma brothers even had to use their military exploits to prove that their predictions were wrong.

If the Northern Expedition is successful, then everyone will be fine, and they can live in peace in Lingnan.

If the Northern Expedition fails, and it is still defeated in the hands of Ma Jian and Ma Liang brothers, then there will be a backlash.

Regardless of the success or failure of the Northern Expedition, all parties can be willing.

Today's meeting with Liu Bei was just to remove the last trouble, and to reorganize the Wei Army, an army that was nominally controlled by the imperial court, but was actually greatly influenced by himself.

From then on, the emperor's is the emperor's, and Chen's is Chen's.
