The urgent report was sent by Sima Yi, and the person who sent the urgent report was Zhou Yuncong who was lurking beside Sima Yi.

Zhang Yan took the urgent report from Zhou Yuncong's hand, quickly opened it and looked at it, the content of the letter made Zhang Yan feel a little excited.

Sima Yi used means to transfer Liu Bei from Jingnan to Nanyang to serve as a taishou and prepare to be stationed in Xinye. And said that Liu Bei is quite eloquent, but he has been depressed, if he doesn't take advantage of the current time to eliminate Liu Bei, then when Liu Bei has an opportunity in the future, it will be too late to deal with Liu Bei.

I have to say that although Sima Yi is young, he has a very unique vision, and he can actually see at a glance that Liu Bei is a dragon trapped in shallow water.

Zhang Yan was naturally very happy with the news provided by Sima Yi, Cao Cao had been eliminated by him, although Sun Quan of Jiangdong was still in the stage of confrontation with him, but as long as he waited a few more years, the national strength of the Han Dynasty slowly recovered, and after the development and popularization of new weapons, it would be easy for Zhang Yan to take Jiangdong.

Of the three giants in this period, the most down-and-out estimate is Liu Bei. Back then, Zhang Yan took over Tao Qian's position, and when he was in charge of Xuzhou, he thought about keeping Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei by his side, and then using them. Find another opportunity to kill Liu Bei, so that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will naturally become his subordinates.

However, Liu Bei was unwilling to do things under him, and went directly to Jingzhou, became the Taishou of Wuling, and by chance, he led the army to quell the rebellion of Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, and then was appointed by Liu Biao as the governor of Jingnan for his merits, and the governor of the four counties of Jingnan, under Liu Biao. It was so mixed up. Gradually, there were soldiers and horses. It has also gathered a group of talents.

When Zhang Yan learned the news, Zhang Yan was worried that Liu Bei would rise from now on and become a big problem for him, so he came up with a clever plan for Infernal Affairs.

It just so happened that the appearance of Sima Yi entered Zhang Yan's sight, and Zhang Yan cleverly arranged to suppress Sima Yi, who had already won the title of champion. Then force Sima Yi to go to Jingzhou, and then explain the truth to Sima Yi later.

Fortunately, Sima Yi did not resent Zhang Yan, but accepted this extremely challenging task, starting from the inside of Jingzhou, disarming Liu Bei step by step, leaving Liu Bei in a state of isolation.

Originally, according to Sima Yi's plan, it would take at least a few years for this strategy to be realized. Because the Cai party in Jingzhou is too large, it will take a lot of effort to completely overthrow the Cai party. But after Liu Biao launched a war against Zhang Yan. The situation was very favorable to Sima Yi, which made Sima Yi's plan advance by several years. Sima Yi made a decision immediately, and offered advice to Liu Qi to let Liu Qi guard against Liu Bei.

Coincidentally, Liu Qi hated Cai's to the core, and was also worried that something similar to Cai's would appear in Jingzhou again, Liu Bei had elite soldiers and strong generals, and he did not lose anything in this battle, but it became Liu Qi's worry, Sima Yi's words were in Liu Qi's arms, which made Liu Bei call every day should not be, and the earth was not spiritual, and in desperation, he had to lead the troops to fight.

Zhang Yan closed Sima Yi's letter, looked around at everyone present, and finally locked his eyes on Zhang Xiu's body, and he immediately said aloud: "General Zhang, Jingzhou has just sent an urgent report, saying that Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, has been transferred to Nanyang to be the Taishou, and the soldiers and horses led by him are 10,000 people, and the destination is Xinye. General Zhang has been in Nanyang for a long time, so he should be familiar with the terrain of Nanyang, right? ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "King Qiyu, my subordinates don't dare to say that they know Nanyang well, but I have been to most places, and I have a general understanding of the terrain of each place." ”

Zhang Yan said: "Okay! It's enough to have your words. You have just abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and now I will give you a chance to make a contribution. I will exchange all your subordinates and horses to you, and you will lead the head of Liu Bei, and after the matter is completed, the king will be rewarded. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

When Zhang Yan saw it, he asked, "What?" General Zhang refuses to go? ”

Zhang Xiu said: "No! His Royal Highness King Yan, I was just thinking, I, Zhang Xiu, am just a general, His Royal Highness King Yan not only did not dislike me, but also named me the rank of major, I am already grateful. Now, King Yan wants to return all my soldiers and horses to me, aren't you worried about returning to Jingzhou with the soldiers and horses, and then communicating with Liu Bei and turning against me? ”

"Hahaha...... As the saying goes, there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. If I really doubted General Zhang, General Zhang wouldn't be here, and he would have had a drink with us. Besides, the situation in the world has been decided, my Han soldiers are strong and strong, and the national strength is prosperous, but the overlords of those who divide one side are unwilling to admit this fact, even if General Zhang is really in cahoots with Liu Bei and turns against each other, this king will definitely make General Zhang regret it. Besides, if General Zhang was really that kind of person, he wouldn't have said it now. Zhang Yan said.

After Zhang Xiu heard these words, he fully felt the degree of trust that Zhang Yan had in him, even Liu Biao, and even Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others back then, did not have such trust in him.

"His Royal Highness King Yan can trust me so much for such a general, as the so-called people do not stand without faith, although I used to work with Liu Bei, but now I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei is a member of Liu Biao's rebellious ministers and thieves, and at the moment I surrendered, I have completely drawn a clear line with Jingzhou. Thanks to His Royal Highness King Yan's trust in me, this time I will definitely bring Liu Bei's head and present it to His Royal Highness King Yan as a meeting gift for me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Zhang Xiu walked to the center of the hall and said to Zhang Yan in a loud voice.

After Zhang Yan listened to Zhang Xiu's bold words, he was very happy, and immediately said: "Okay, with General Zhang's words, I will be relieved." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan looked at Yang Xiu again and said: "This time I went to eliminate Liu Bei, you went with General Zhang, and you were only responsible for the staff and military, and everything in the army was decided by General Zhang." ”

"Whoa!" Yang Xiu didn't have any opinions, and responded with a fist.

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be a little grateful when he heard Zhang Yan's arrangement, although he was brave and good at fighting, but there was a lack of capable resourceful people around him, and now Yang Xiu was able to go with him. It's the best thing to do. But. I thought that Yang Xiuhui would be the main general. He is a deputy general, who would have thought that Zhang Yan would let them be replaced, with Zhang Xiu as the main general, and Yang Xiu just joined the army.

This arrangement undoubtedly gave Zhang Xiu full autonomy, and made Zhang Xiu feel that Zhang Yan attached great importance to himself, and strengthened his confidence in destroying Liu Bei.

Without further ado. Zhang Xiu and Yang Xiu immediately set off and went directly to Wancheng. Zhang Yan's order was that Zhang Xiu was still the Taishou of Nanyang, commanding all the soldiers and horses in the Nanyang area, including Hao Zhao's soldiers and horses who were already stationed in Xinye.

And Zhang Yan stayed in Chen County, commanding remotely. On the one hand, Zhang Yan began to mobilize a large amount of grain and grass to transport it to Nanyang and Runan, and on the other hand, he had people transport arms from Puyang to the front line.

Zhang Yan's army used a lot of thunderbolts in the quelling of the rebellion in the north. But this weapon did not become widespread because of its enormous lethality. Therefore, the army that is only used in a small area and can use all thunderbolts is basically Zhang Yan's descendant troops.

Only in this way can we take strict measures to keep secrets and prevent such advanced weapons from spreading out and becoming a means for the enemy to deal with themselves.

After the last incident, Zhang Yan issued several orders in Chen County, mobilizing the troops of Tai Shici and Xu Huang to the Central Plains to strengthen the military strength of the Central Plains. The annexation of the state was completely handed over to Gao Shun to govern, making him a person who combined military and political power.

Because Gao Shun is a native of Bingzhou, he knows the people of Bingzhou very well, and the Xianbei people have now been scared by Zhang Yan, whether it is Xianbei in the east, Xianbei in the middle, or Xianbei in the west, as long as they hear Zhang Yan's name, they are basically frightened.

Kebineng was eliminated, the central Xianbei was completely defeated, and the Japanese law deduction of the western Xianbei is still under house arrest in Pengcheng, among which there are many princes and nobles in the western Xianbei, Zhang Yan used the brocade clothes and jade food of the Central Plains as sugar-coated cannonballs, completely destroyed the psychological defense line of the tribal leaders on these grasslands, and made them happy, so that the western Xianbei has become an ornament, and the decrees are basically from Pengcheng, so there will be no traces of rebellion in the western Xianbei, not to mention, Liangzhou has settled down, Xianbei people are quite afraid of the current Han people, and dare not make it easy to make a mistake, and Liangzhou has also opened the mutual market to facilitate everyone, if there is any need, you can go to the mutual market to purchase.

In addition, the eastern Xianbei Budugen, who was defeated by the central Xianbei Kebineng Division, lived in the area of Helan Mountain in Beidi County, where they lived a peaceful life, neither provoking the Han nor plundering the people, and they were always honest.

After the Japanese law deduction of Xianbei in the west was taken to Pengcheng under house arrest, Bu Dugen also learned smartly, he knew that he was not the opponent of the Han at all, and he was also afraid that the Han would attack him, so he took the initiative to send an envoy to pay tribute, first explain his position, he is respectful of the Han, and is willing to become the eternal courtier of the Han.

Raise your hand and don't hit the smiling person, everyone is on this part, Zhang Yan naturally will not bully the weak, and he is not willing to start another war, you must know that a war is fought, and the consumption is national strength. Today's Han lacks nothing, but lacks strong national strength, so he needs to recuperate for a few years and try to avoid war.

It was precisely because the ethnic groups on the northern border were very quiet that Zhang Yan dared to transfer the soldiers and horses of Tai Shici and Xu Huang, two tiger generals, to the Central Plains. Because in the next time, dominating the world is the most important thing.

After the dispatch was dispatched, Zhang Yan asked Chen Yinglai to be the Taishou of Runan to fill the vacancy of Shang Yuan Zhuo. Moreover, at present, Chen Ying is stationed in Runan, and he also has an army in his hands, which is also beneficial for strengthening the defense of Runan. After the soldiers and horses of Tai Shi Ci and Xu Huang arrived, Chen Ying could be the Taishou with peace of mind, and the affairs of the army could be handed over to Tai Shi Ci and Xu Huang to do.

I have to say that in Zhang Yan's heart, Chen Jue, Chen Deng, Chen Ying, father and son, have helped him a lot, and now Chen Deng has left him, Chen Jue is seriously ill, and it is estimated that he will not be far from death. At that time, Chen Ying was the only one left among the three fathers and sons of the Chen family, and in Zhang Yan's heart, he had the idea of protecting Chen Ying. Therefore, Zhang Yan is ready to let Chen Ying completely liberate himself from the army and become a local official, at least to ensure that he can live longer. (To be continued......)
