People are doing it, God is watching, and the things Liu Bei did in Zhuo County finally bear bitter fruit. As the thousands of people pointed out, I wonder if he, the King of Zhongshan, would end in vain.

Yuan Quan handed over a cloth towel, and Sun Ce wiped his mouth. "Are there many people fleeing in Zhongshan?"

"Where can you escape?" Zhen Mi asked back: "The surrounding area is Liu Bei's territory, so I can't escape at all. My brother went around a big circle from the grassland and rushed to Liaodong. Then he got on the boat. The expenses on the road alone could make the middle household bankrupt, and ordinary people could not afford it. That's it, and there were two children who got sick and died on the road."

Zhen Mi sniffed, pouted, and her eyes were a little wet.

Sun Ce also put away his smile. It is good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out for a day. It is not easy to travel far in this era. If you are not accommodating the environment, tiredness, thieves, and whatever you want, you may lose your life. There is a saying among the people that migration is equivalent to imprisonment, so most people have very small circles of life. Try not to go out as much as possible, and they will be within a radius of more than ten miles in their lifetime. It is not realistic to let ordinary people cross mountains and seas, travel long distances, and come to the Central Plains. Even if Yuan Tan and Liu Bei do not stop them, they may not be able to reach their destination alive.

The people of Yanzhou and Qingzhou moved to Yuzhou and Jiangdong to migrate land, and it took several years to gradually move, and they still provided as much help as possible in counties along the way. In order to allow these people to arrive safely, the price paid was also amazing.

"Where is your third brother? I will meet him and ask about the situation."

"Thank you, King." Zhen Mi was happy again, her eyebrows were full of spring. "King, will Taishi Ci send troops? If Taishi Ci sends troops to attack, the people of Zhongshan can respond."

"Your second brother is very quiet and wants to lead troops again?"

"Not this, no one wants to be safe, but now that Liu Bei is in charge of Zhongshan, peace is unavailable, so he has to fight. In the recent Yan Dynasty of Zhongshan, the people were originally brave and were also a place for elite troops. If the king could support some weapons, even if he could not drive Liu Bei away, it would be enough to cause some trouble for him."

Sun Ce smiled and shook his head. "This is not a good idea. It is better to be low-key in a place of right and wrong. Being at your own risk, Liu Bei may not take the initiative to find trouble, and at most he extorts some money and food. With weapons, Liu Bei will destroy your Zhen family even if he fights his life. Unless your second brother can recruit enough troops to fight against Liu Bei, but in that case, there will be too much military equipment needed, and I will not be able to transport it even if I give it to him."

"That's true." Zhen Mi held her cheek, blinked her eyes, thinking. "But it's so frustrating to just sit and wait like this."

"Want to vent?"

"Yes, I just want to cause some trouble for Liu Bei."

"Then there is a way, that is, I don't know if your second brother dares to do it."

Zhen Mi became excited again. "What method? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, lord, don't keep it aside, tell me quickly."

Sun Ce laughed silently. Liu Bei, don’t blame me, it was your own fault. After King Jing of Zhongshan? Hehe, King Jing of Zhongshan will be hurt by you. If he had a spirit in heaven, he would definitely not recognize you as a fake descendant.

The next day, Sun Ce met Zhen Yao and his party. Zhen Mi was nearly thirty years old, with a good facial features, outstanding appearance, and decent manners. When she saw Sun Ce, she knelt down and went forward and retreated, meticulously, and could see that she had practiced seriously in advance. Others were also a little nervous and didn't even dare to look at Sun Ce. Zhen Mi's old elder brother Zhen Yu's son Zhen Xiang was a young man and was a talented person.

The Zhen family's genes are also very strong, and a few people stand together makes people shine.

Sun Ce asked about the recent situation of the Zhen family, and then asked about their experiences on the journey, and then asked about their talents, what books had been read, and what they had done. Zhen Yan took it hard to pick these people to escape. Almost all of them are young talents in the family, who have studied and done things. Some are good at doing business, some often travel far away, some have good martial arts skills, and have led the family's corps, and have some experience in leading troops.

Sun Ce was very satisfied. He left Zhen Xiang as a servant by his side, while others applied for jobs in different departments according to their abilities and interests. Since they had real talents and knowledge, they would take regular channels to avoid losing their word, which would be unfavorable for future promotion. Zhen Xiang was Zhen Yi's grandson and the next head of the Zhen family. Zhen Yan sent him to Jianye, which had a very important symbolic meaning, so he naturally had to give preferential treatment.

The Zhen family came to Jianye, although they brought some soft and soft things with them, after all, they were limited. Sun Ce agreed to Zhen Mi's request and asked her to take a few people with experience in going to sea to the boat officer to choose a large ship and prepare to go out to sea to fish. In any era, merchants have the strongest spirit of adventure, and as long as they are profitable, they are fearless. Far-sea fishing in the Bohai Sea has been confirmed in the Bohai Sea, and the risks are controllable. The Yellow Sea and the East Sea are only one step slower and have not yet been spread out. The Zhen family wants to seize this opportunity, which can not only solve Sun Ce's actual problems, but also accumulate wealth. Sun Ce naturally will not refuse both public and private affairs.

After all, Zhen Yao was older and had more experience in dealing with people and affairs than Zhen Mi. After discussing with Zhen Mi, he took out the fineness and softness he brought, and borrowed some from Yuan Quan and others, raised nearly a thousand yuan, rented ten sea boats from the ship's officers, and recruited some sailors and fishermen with high salaries. He then went to sea to catch fish. In order to keep things fresh, he also ordered a large amount of ice cubes, which was prepared on the way to come and had signed a long-term cooperation agreement with relevant maritime merchants.

Sun Ce did not directly ask, but he knew all the operations of Zhen Yao. He specialized in his profession. Although Zhen Yao looked like a scholar, he was really good at commercial operations. After this combination of punches, he had raised the threshold for fishing in the sea very high. When he returned with a full load, others found that they were profitable and wanted to follow the example, they would find that they did not have enough investment and could not compete with him at all.

Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to introduce some foreign competitors and create some catfish effect. It is not a new thing for navy fishing in the Bohai Sea, to process aquatic products, and to serve as material supplies for the Liaodong War Zone. The Jingxiang Group, Wuhui Group, and even the East China Sea Group merchants have not thought that the long-term fishing fishing has been too easy. They are a little lazy in their minds and have not paid attention to the business opportunities that are in front of them.

In early August, Zhu Huan, the captain of Wudang Camp, was promoted to the general of the bandits, and led Wudang and Jiefan and other five battalions, with a total of 10,000 central troops to go to war.

August is the time for autumn harvest, and usually there are few troops, but the central army is a full-time elite army and can go on a battle at any time, which does not affect the autumn harvest. However, Yuzhou has no spring plowing this year, and the task of autumn harvest is extremely light, and the corvee collection along the way does not have any major impact. Instead, the central army rushed to the battlefield to boost the morale of the military and civilians in Yuzhou, and prepared to counterattack, determined to enter Yanzhou and avenge a single arrow.

Zhu Huan went up the river, turned into the Ruxu River, passed Chaohu, entered the Qi River, turned into the Fei River, and then entered the Huai River. He sailed all the way. In mid-August, he arrived at Qiao County, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, traveling more than a hundred miles to reach Suiyang.

Lu Yi, Man Chong, Yan Xing and others had already received orders and rushed to meet Zhu Huan. Junyi's governor Lu Fan also came to his own. The emperor left Hanoi, and the war in Henan came to an end. Lu Yi was transferred to Zhu Huan's deputy general, and Lu Fan also returned to Junyi. This time, he was a general of the Western Route Army. He was controlled by Zhu Huan, but he was independently commanded and did not need to report everything to Zhu Huan.

Almost everything that should be arrived. Except for Rencheng Governor Ji Ling, who had a long journey and had defensive tasks, did not come in person, and only sent deputy general Zang Ba. Zang Ba refused Taishi Ci's invitation to Liaodong and was appointed as Prime Minister of Lu by Sun Ce. This time Yuan Tan re-entered Yanzhou, and the Taishan family also responded. Zang Ba led his troops to conquer and made contributions. Sun Ce promoted him to Ji Ling's deputy general and became the candidate for the Ninth Governor. Zang Ba was very satisfied with this and was very enthusiastic about asking for battle.

Before the meeting was held, Zhu Huan discussed with Lu Jie. In addition to conveying Sun Ce's order, he also conveyed Gu Yong's suggestions. This is what the Jiangdong family is more prepared for, saying that it is a great opportunity for the Wuxian family. They can only win, not lose, and must fight well. When they strive to attack Hebei, they can still take on the main attack task.

Lu Yi has received the news and understand it.

With the support of the Land Advisory, Zhu Huan immediately held a pre-war meeting. The combat plan had been conveyed to individuals in advance, and everyone knew their tasks. This time, they came to the meeting to discuss some details and determine the formal combat plan.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and the plan was quickly finalized. Three armies advanced at the same time and immediately launched an attack on Yanzhou. Yanzhou was rushing to harvest. When entering Yanzhou at this time, it could interrupt the autumn harvest in Yanzhou, and reduce the consumption of one's own side because of the enemy.

Zhu Huan handed over the task of the vanguard to General Xingzhengbei Man Chong, who led the selected 10,000 Yuzhou soldiers into Yanzhou and surrounded Dingtao. Dingtao is the capital of Jibei County and the pivot of the central part of Chongzhou. Conquering Dingtao was to lay a nail in the heart of Yanzhou. Dingtao's guard was Li Jin, a dead man in Yanzhou. He fought with Sun Ce that year, and Zhu Huan even directly fought against him and killed Li Qian and his son. This time, they had to decide the victory and loss, but also to determine life and death, kill Li Jin to serve as a warning to You.

The mission of the left wing was handed over to Junyi's governor Lu Fan. Lu Fan led the garrisons of Junyi's war zone and the county soldiers of Chenliu County to advance eastward, seized Jiyang, Yuanju and other counties in turn, and then collected Lihu and Puyang to the north, met with the navy, and cut off the liaison between Yanzhou and Jizhou.

The task of the right wing was handed over to Rencheng Governor Ji Ling. They would take Changyi first, restrain Dong Zhao's troops, and force Dong Zhao to be unable to reinforce Li Jin.

Dingtao is a big city with strict defense and is not easy to attack and defend. For this reason, Zhu Huan will transfer Zhang Fen to the Mu Academy in Runan to help with the war. Zhang Fen uses warships to transport giant stone throwing machines and crossbow chariots. First, go to Junyi to meet with Lu Fan, then move to Ji River, advance eastward along the Ji River, first help Lu Fan to seize Jiyang, and then rush to Dingtao to participate in the battle. After taking Dingtao, it will determine the situation, either rush to Changyi or enter Dayoze to launch an offensive against the northern part of Yanzhou.

Lu Fan was very satisfied with this. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Huan's appointment as the chief general, Zhu Huan's plan was very caring for him, with giant stone throwing machines and crossbow chariots to help him. His attacks along the way were unstoppable. Before the war started, his first achievement had fallen into his pocket. He fought well in this battle, and he would have the opportunity to increase his troops in the future and be promoted to the commander of tens of thousands of people.
