Take heart, it's my fault to admit it!

----

A few days later,

Thirty miles north of Xiapi City,

On the slightly desolate and dilapidated official road, an army is rushing over at this moment, winding and winding for dozens of miles, with countless food and grass.

"Drive! My lord, Yuan Shao sent someone to remind him again, asking why our army hasn't marched west yet." Zhang Liao rode over, frowning a little at a loss.

"Tell the messenger, just say that I will carry the things back to Xiapi, and then make an all-out attack, and make Yuan Gong wait for a few more days." Chu Feng waved his hand, a little impatiently said.

Who wants to work after receiving the money?

What's more, I didn't plan to work in the first place.

"Promise!" Zhang Liao just rode away, and within a few dozen breaths, he turned back and said, "My lord, Cao Cao sent an envoy over."

"Oh? Cao Cao's envoy is here too? Well, let the brothers rest for a while, you call Yuan Shao's envoy first, and call Cao Cao's envoy later,"

"Remember, check the time!" Chu Feng's mouth curled up, and the two families should go bite their own dogs. Damn, I don't bother to care about it.

"No!" Zhang Liao nodded,

Immediately, the messengers ran back and forth to let the whole army rest, and Yuan Jun's envoy was also brought to meet at this moment, and it was a question of when to send troops.

Chu Feng talked nonsense a few times,

In the end, when Yuan Jun's envoy was repelled, Zhang Liao led Cao Jun's envoy over and happened to see it, which also made Cao Jun's envoy frowned slightly and thought deeply.

"Under Duke Cao's command, Jiang Gan has met General Chu!" Jiang Gan clasped his fists and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Jiang Gan?" Chu Feng raised his eyebrows. There were several records of this person in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but they were negative. Zhou Yu used him to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

Of course, in the official history, Cai Hao was not killed by Cao Cao, but lived very well.

"What's the matter?" Chu Feng asked impatiently.

"General Chu, although my lord is in Guandu, he often misses the general. No, let me visit here on my behalf. If there is anything you need, the general can mention it at any time."

Jiang Gan pointed out something.

"Don't worry, Meng De and I have a very close friendship, so we won't be polite." Chu Feng chuckled.

"Oh, by the way, General Chu, on the way here just now, I saw your army stretching for dozens of miles, with countless vehicles of all kinds. I don't know what these are."

Jiang Gan pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"Nothing, some souvenirs from Yuan Jun. Go back and tell Meng De to fight Yuan Shao. I'll wait to hear his good news."

Chu Feng fooled the past and exhorted.

Seeing that Chu Feng didn't want to answer, Jiang Gan was about to ask a few more questions, but he heard Chu Feng say: "Xu Chu, Mr. Jiang is tired from traveling, take him down to rest!"

Jiang Gan naturally did not dare to stay, and immediately asked for orders to leave.

----

The next day, in the city of Xiapi.

The Chu army entered the city in an endless stream, and all the grain was transported to the granary, countless gold and silver were collected into the treasury, and all kinds of materials were also classified.

In the mansion, the first place.

Chu Feng stretched his waist, and finally came back. He has gained quite a lot this time. The wealth of Jizhou made Chu Feng earn a lot of money this time.

"Everyone, all the goals of entering the Central Plains this time have been achieved, and it is time to start the second phase of the strategy. I call it the Dark Angel Project."

Chu Feng looked at the generals and said solemnly.

Dark Angel Project?All the generals are eager to try,

Following Chu Feng, no matter whether he was fighting or dividing up the spoils, Chu Feng arranged everything well. The key point was that Chu Feng planned clearly and clearly than other princes, and his brains were good.

"Next, I will lead my troops to surprise Jiangxia and try to get close to Nanjun, so as to fully control Jingzhou. I won't talk about the specific incident!" Chu Feng explained.

The generals were full of energy and wanted Chu Feng to take them with them.

"Yan Xiang, on the way back, I found that Pengguo and Xiapi were flooded with bandits, and the people were poorly clothed and hungry. They were suffering unspeakably. Now there is a lot of food and grass, so all places started to provide disaster relief."

"Remember, you must ensure that every catty of food can be passed on. If anyone is found to be embezzled with disaster relief funds, they will all be copied and killed without mercy."

Chu Feng looked at Yan Xiang and exhorted.

"No! But my lord, although the three counties of Xuzhou are not as good as they used to be, there are still tens of millions of people. The food and grass gap may be a bit big!" Yan Xiang hesitated.

"The shortage of food and grass is fully controlled by Lu Su. He assisted you to deal with it. As for the people who provide relief, they don't eat and drink for free. They need to work for relief, clean up rivers, etc."

Chu Feng said in a deep voice.

"No!" Yan Xiang nodded.

Chu Feng is indeed good to the common people,

Other princes regarded food as more important than their lives, and they were even said to give food to the common people.It's just that Chu Feng sees farther, there are people who have food and labor,

How much population can be retained, how many soldiers, how much labor, and how many ordinary people will grow the land in the future.

"Everyone, in a few days I will set off to approach Jingzhou, but all eyes must be restrained from the front. After I leave, Lu Meng will take full responsibility, and Zhang Liao will be responsible for eradicating the bandits in the territory."

Chu Feng exhorted solemnly.

"No!" Everyone nodded.

"Remember, no one is allowed to spread the news of my departure. The whole area of ​​Xiapi must be stable, and develop and operate according to my plan earlier." Chu Feng confessed again.

"No!" The generals nodded.

"Tai Shici and Lu Meng's army stayed behind. The Central Army returned to Hefei with me. Zhang Liao led his troops to train. He was also responsible for eradicating bandits. Gao Shun will fix it on the spot!"

Chu Feng briefly explained the military power,

The current army management has advantages, but it also has disadvantages. The various legions show harmony, but they are also fighting openly and secretly, and they all have a lot of energy.

As long as it's not too much, it's a good thing!

As for another disadvantage, the centralization of power is too decentralized. Although I believe that these people will not betray, I still have to be careful.

At least let these people compare with each other!

"Promise!" All the generals nodded in unison, and Gao Shun said, "My lord, this trip to Jingzhou will mainly focus on water warfare and siege of the city, and the navy general Gan Ning will naturally take on the heavy responsibility."

"But for the siege of the city, the last general asks for orders, you might as well take the last general to go together, and decide that the master will kill the general and defeat the enemy!"

"Well, whatever, let's test whether the trapping camp you newly trained has the style of the past." Chu Feng hesitated a little, and it is indeed possible to try to attack the trapping camp.

"The last general will never disappoint the lord's entrustment!" Gao Shun clasped his fists excitedly.

Zhang Liao was envious, but he didn't say much, he was useless in the past for this many water battles, and Chu Feng had told him that it would take several months to build a batch of iron cavalry.

Time was short, and he was in a hurry.

"If there is no doubt, go down and prepare. Tomorrow, I will fly my banner to declare that I will attack Cao Cao, so that the scouts everywhere can relax their vigilance."

"I've been preparing for this battle for more than half a year. I must win Jiang Xia in one fell swoop and eat the fat of Jingzhou." Chu Feng clenched his fists with a somewhat confident expression.

"No!" All the generals responded in unison.

----

Jian'an four years, early August.

After several months, Chu Feng ended his trip to the Central Plains and obtained a lot of benefits from Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, including official rewards and so on.

But Chu Feng practiced Tai Chi between the two families,

Of course, Chu Feng was no longer in charge of Xiapi, and he quietly marched towards Jingzhou with the Central Army and Gao Shun's trapped camp.

For this reason, he went out day and night to prevent exposure.

Just to complete the "Black Angel Project!"

Chapter 255 Changshan Zhao Zilong!

===============================

Chapter 255 Changshan Zhao Zilong!

Jian'an four years, mid-August.

Jiujiang, Yangzhou, within the territory south of the Huaihe River,

Since the beginning of autumn, the temperature in various places has dropped across the board, and the autumn is refreshing, and the faces of the people who have harvested the autumn grain are full of smiles.

Most of them are doing all kinds of labor under the call of the government. After so many years, they have never been so satisfied.

Food is abundant and life is rich.

Compared with other states and counties in the world, they are so much happier. They didn't even dare to imagine this kind of life a few years ago. All of this was given to them by Chu Feng.

At this time, on the official road from Shouchun to Hefei, a man was wearing a white robe, riding a white horse with a sword hanging from his waist and a silver gun hanging from the saddle.

The man looked around and couldn't help frowning.

He heard that the Lord of Yangzhou was benevolent in governing the people, so he came here, and since he crossed the Huai River, he rarely saw people who died of freezing and starvation along the way.

This place is much better than Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and even Jizhou. At least he didn't see the tragedy in the world, he didn't see Yizi eating each other, and he didn't see bones everywhere.

Moreover, he had never met a single thief during this journey. You must know that when he came from Yuzhou before, there were dozens of robbers blocking the way.

"Shut up!"

The man reined in the reins, and looked at the hard-working people on both sides of the river in the distance, and he couldn't help frowning. Along the way, he saw many places where corvee was being collected.

This is surprisingly much here,

Sure enough, there is no place in the world where the government is absolutely benevolent. Calling so many people to serve in corvee at one time is obviously selfish, which makes the man take a deep breath.

Turning over and dismounting, the man led the horse and leaned over.

As he approached, the man was even more shocked by the scene in front of him. There was a river in the middle, and this river was not very wide. According to the map, it should have been connected in recent years.

And countless migrant workers are on both sides of the river, all digging the soil hard, often digging a foot deep and continuing, some digging, others digging and others backing.

In addition to the natural formation of the ancient river, it can only be dug out with a shovel. The purpose of these people at this moment is to expand the waterway and make the river wider.

And for such a long section, there are at least tens of thousands of people who seem to be digging hard, sweating profusely.

"Old man, I'll help you!" The man took the initiative to take a pannier, which was full of dirt.

The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead. At first he thought that the man was also a laborer. It can be seen that he was wearing a sword and a war horse, so he was obviously not a local.

"Little friend, judging by your outfit, you shouldn't be a local?" The old man asked with a chuckle.

"I, I am from the Central Plains, I came here to escape." The man explained.

"In the Central Plains? Tsk tsk, it's very chaotic there. You escaped rightly. Our Yangzhou is infinitely better than the Central Plains." The old man said proudly.

"Well, it is indeed much better to come all the way to Yangzhou. There are places to relieve the victims everywhere, and there are very few people who died of freezing and starvation along the road."

Men are more sympathetic to this.

"That's why Yangzhou is where it is today, thanks to Duke Chu's blessing. Duke Chu is Ziwei Xing who came down to earth to save us hardworking people."

As the old man said, he specially cupped his hands over his head to show his respect for Chu Feng.

"Ziwei Xing descends to earth?" The man was stunned for a moment: "Old man, I have met countless people who have been conscripted to serve in corvee along the way, whether they are building roads or water canals."

"Although the Duke of Chu gave porridge with kindness, he extorted violently and mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to work. How can such a high-ranking person be called Ziweixing?"

"Young man, you can't talk nonsense." The old man was anxious for a moment.

"You're not a local, so it's okay if you don't know, but in Yangzhou, you can say anything about anyone, except that you can't say a word about Chu Gong."

The old man said seriously, blushing.

"Ah, I'm being rude, but I don't know why?" The man frowned, he had never seen people support such a person like this.

He hadn't even heard of it in ancient books.

"Young man, what's your name!" the old man asked.

"I'm Zhao Yun, to tell you the truth, old man, I came here to find a benevolent master and work for him. I heard that the master of Yangzhou is benevolent, so I came here to find out."
