The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun Zhen has been in office for so many years, and the methods of corporal Li Xian have long been familiar, and it has become his instinct, even if he is drunk and dreaming, he will not make mistakes. Yang Zhai, but since he has a coveted heart for Yuzhou, and wants to suppress Kong Duo when he arrives, of course the officials and scholars of Yingchuan County who come to greet him will not take it seriously, and they will humble themselves and nobles. .

Regardless of whether they knew him or not, the county officials and scholars welcomed him into the county mansion, and after their respective retreats, they all praised his modest retreat.

There were no prefects in the mansion, all of them were county officials. The five officials, the chief clerk took the lead, and Du You invited Xun Zhen to the main hall.

Leading figures among the county officials, such as Cao Cao, the well-educated scripture teachers in the county school, and so on, accompanied him.

After shouting and hugging, Xun Zhen walked to the main hall.

In the courtyard, he stopped for a while and looked around to see the scenery in the courtyard.

Du You asked, "Why did the general stop?"

"I feel it."

"Dare to ask how you feel?"

"Look at the flower tree in the corner of the courtyard. I remember that it was planted by the Lord of Yin Fu because he was nostalgic for his hometown. It was only a few feet tall at the time, but now it is slim and graceful, but it doesn't look as young as it used to be. The wood is like this, How worthy of a person. Time flies, white horses pass by, these years I have been ups and downs, wasted time, so far I have not built my achievements, I remember the ambition when I participated in the affairs of the court with the princes in the county government, and I can't feel it. "

Yin Xiu came to Yingchuan from Nanyang to serve as an official. He couldn't go back to his hometown once a year. It was inevitable that he would miss his hometown. It can be seen from time to time, after a little relief from the nostalgia, he moved to the court, and this flower tree stayed in the county house. Because it was planted by the prefect, the county officials were very attentive, and it has grown strong over the years. .

Du You smiled and said, "The general used to be a postmaster in Yingchuan, but now he is a general in China. If this is still a 'wasted time and unfinished business', people like me should really find a wall and kill it. ."

Xun Zhen spoke bluntly and said, "Don't you know? My general was represented by Yuan Bohai, just for the convenience of raising troops. How can Dong Zhuo admit that he is in charge of the imperial court? After all, it's just a fake general, so what? Comparable to a real general?"

"Nevertheless, the general, who used to be flat in the Yellow Turbans and Montenegro, has a great power in Henan and Ji, now has tens of thousands of people, and he raises his divisions to fight against rebellion. This kind of meritorious achievement is rare in the previous dynasty, and it is enough to be remembered for eternity." If you don't build it, the general is too modest."

What Xun Zhen was waiting for was his words, and he immediately made a persevering appearance and said to the officials: "Dong Zhuo violated the rebellion, deposed the emperor, killed the first emperor, and killed the Zhongliang in the court, and the whole world is indignant. Raising troops to the prefecture, the plan is not concealed from the lords, not only for the establishment of merits, but also for the sake of eradicating harm to the world! Lords, today Yuan Bohai and the brothers of General Yuan have each supported troops in Ji and Jing, and gathered the people of the two states. With tigers looking at Dong Zhuo, Zhang Mengzhuo, Cao Mengde, all the lords will all join forces with Suanzao, hold Qing and Yan, and force Luoyang, the Kwantung coalition, more than one million! The heroes are fierce, the sea is raging, the day of Dong Zhuo's downfall is not far away! Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng , the world's fierce general, has now led his troops to Nanyang, and will enter my county, join forces with me, all the lords, my county is a famous county in the country, and you and others are all heroes and talents. Although Yingchuan is only a county, it is not weaker than Ji , Jing, Qing, Yanzhou, if you have the same ambition as me, I would like to do this work with you. If things are done, then the names of all the kings will be praised by the world. If it is prosperous, it can also be planned slowly. What do you think?"

The county officials in Yingchuan are all natives of Yingchuan, and Yingchuan has become the front line of seeking directors. Therefore, when Guo Jun, Du You and others expressed their warm welcome to Xun Zhen's arrival, they did not object, and when they were required to make a choice between Xun Zhen and Kong Ni, they were also willing to choose the illustrious military exploits, It was Xun Zhen of the locals, but these are just not objections and willingness. It is not necessarily how eager they are.

After all, many of them didn't have much friendship with Xun Zhen, and these decisions and choices were made just out of reason, without any emotion.

Now, after hearing Xun Zhen's powerful words, one of them was quick-witted and thought: "Yuan Benchu ​​raised an army to beg Dong, and Guandong responded, the crowd of one million may exaggerate, but two or three hundred thousand soldiers are always Yes, attacking Dong with this, just as Xun Hou said, even if he is not victorious, he will not be defeated, but once he wins, what is the point of wealth and honor! Listening to Xun Hou's meaning, he seems to be willing to make this contribution with us? "

There was another one who was more agile, and heard another meaning from Xun Zhen's words, and said to himself: "Listen to the meaning of Xun Hou's words, Sun Jian is also coming? Sun Jian, like Xun Hou, also used military merit to win the title of Hou. During the Zhongping period, his exploits in attacking the Yellow Turbans were among the top of the generals, and he was on a par with the Duke of Xun.

The officials had different thoughts, but they all fell to the ground and said in unison, "I would like to do this together with the general!"

After Xun Zhen's words, most of the county officials who were not very enthusiastic about Xun Zhen changed their minds and recognized Xun Zhen even more.

When Xun Zhen came to the hall, Du You asked him to take the throne because of his status.

Xun Zhen refused, but smiled and said, "I'm not the county governor, so how can I sit on this seat?" Someone brought a new seat and put it on the west side. The west side is where the guests sit. Although he is Yingchuan Local people, but because his position is not in Yingchuan, he considers himself a guest in this county government.

Seeing his behavior, all the officials thought in their hearts: "Marquis Xun is a noble of 2,000 shi, and he is the lord of the county, leading tens of thousands of tigers to return to the county. "Occasionally, there are people who are not convinced by Xun Zhen, and so far they are also convinced by Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen didn't sit in the hall for a long time, and only talked with the officials for a while, recounting the past with the old colleagues among the officials, and getting close to the new officials who came to the county later. After that, he left the hall, declined Du You's suggestion to ask him to stay in the back house, left the prefecture, walked around the homes of some famous family members in the county, and returned to the camp before sunset.

Sitting on the main seat of the main hall of the county mansion, staying in the back house of the county mansion, etc., these are all useless "fake names", Xun Zhen doesn't care, what he pays attention to is "reality". It was only one day, but the results were good, and Xun Zhen was very satisfied.

He thought to himself: "Outside, there are Chen Dao and Zanghong sub-towns, inside, I and Wentai join forces, and Du You and others have their hearts on me. Today, this trip in my city has brought many county officials and scholars. He willingly attached himself to me. No matter how righteous his position was, no matter how prosperous his people were, the current situation and people’s hearts were like this, he would have nothing to do when he entered Yingchuan. If he didn’t have the heart to compete with me, that’s all. I respect him three points, but if he doesn't know the current situation, he has the vain idea of ​​arguing with me, and I can make him surrender to me sooner or later."

When Xun Zhen returned to the camp, the army had just finished training, and the chorus returned to the camp.

There is a saying: sharpen the gun before the battle, and the unhappiness is also light.

Needless to say, the old soldiers under Xun Zhen’s tent, training is a matter of habit. Those new soldiers did not practice much when they were in Guangling. During this period of free time, Xun Zhen ordered all the ministries to step up their training, not trying to make them aware of their battle formations immediately, but at least strict military discipline, so that when they were really useful, they would not be like a mess of sand.

The two or three thousand new soldiers from Yingchuan who joined the army, Xun You, Xu Zhong, etc. have been busy all day, and they have compiled their parts and handed them over to Jiang Qin and Gao Su. According to Xun Zhen's order, they can resume tomorrow After a day's rest, the day after tomorrow, they will also begin to practice.

Xun Zhen went to look at each of the troupes, and when he arrived at the newly compiled Yingchuan troupe, Gao Su and Jiang Qin greeted him.

As soon as he saw Xun Zhen, Gao Su complained and said, "No wonder A-Deng doesn't want to tie a tie, Junhou, these new soldiers don't know military discipline, so it's okay to mess around, but look, Xiaoxunjun and Junqing, they even have weapons. Don't send it to me! How does this look like a part? At first glance, it seems that Min is a group of pheasants and geese, gangs of idle rascals."

"It's not that Gongda and Junqing don't give you arms, it's the shortage of arms in the army."

"Then what?"

"Didn't Shuzhi and Ziyuan spare a lot of wooden soldiers and bamboo spears? Gongda and Junqing didn't give them to you?"

"Give it, but how can that thing go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"Let's use it first for daily practice. After a while, I will find a way to replenish ordnance for you."

Gao Su is a person with a good face. The other divisions are full of armored weapons. Most of the soldiers in the Chen Dao and Zang Hong divisions, who were originally short of weapons, are also equipped with armored soldiers, but the remaining wooden guns are used. Bamboo spears were thrown to him like garbage, and his boss was not happy.

After listening to Xun Zhen's promise, he smiled happily and said, "Then wait for Junhou to replenish me with weapons!"

After he finished talking about the armament, he said: "Jun Hou, the other ministries are at least 2,000 or more than 3,000, but there are only more than 1,000 people in Bo Qin's ministries, only more than Xuande's other ministries. Just a little bit, Bo Qin and I are really too nominal."

"What? Too few? Think it's just a name? Then you go to change positions with Xuande."

Gao Su laughed dryly, and said, "Although it's not real, it's still a commander of two thousand stone. Don't think I'm stupid, so I won't exchange with Xuande."

Xun Zhen laughed and stopped laughing at him, saying, "Although you and Bo Qin have few troops, there will definitely be people in the county who come to join the army. As long as there are, I will allocate them to you respectively. ."

Gao Su was overjoyed and said, "I knew that Junhou would not be partial!"

"Don't just look at the weapons, only look at the small number of people, take a day off tomorrow, and start training the day after tomorrow, you must be strict and serious, follow the code of practice, and make no mistakes. Look at Xuande, there are still half of his troops in his department. There is no ordnance, and there are only a few thousand people, but he has no complaints, and he is serious about anti-drilling. I have just been to his department, and his department is also a new soldier. It didn't take long, but now it's already banned. You have to learn more from Xuande."

"Yes."

Speaking of the important matter of military training, Xun Zhen greeted Jiang Qin also approached, and said to the two of them sternly: "Jun Qing has always been strict in managing soldiers. The two of you have been under Jun Qing's account for many years. Soldiers and horses, if the two of you are improperly trained, make your subordinates indulge, and are unbearable to use, in the future, you will ruin the reputation of Junqing and make a big mistake in my military affairs. I will punish them with military law~www.wuxiaspot.com ~Never condone."

Jiang Qin and Gao Su knew that Xunzhen's military was strict, and when they heard the words, Jiang Qin was stunned, and Gao Su also put away his hippie smile, and they all agreed.

Not to mention the drills of the various ministries, Xun Zhen stayed in the camp for the night.

The next day, Zang Hong and Chen Dao prepared the luggage and food and prepared to leave for the north and south of the county, to say goodbye to Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen explained to the two of them a few words, telling them that they should not harass the people’s homes after they arrived in the county; second, they should not stop training; There should be no deserters; the fourth is to be vigilant at all times.

The two agreed.

Xun Zhen sent the two of them out of the camp, and watched them both take their headquarters to the north and south.

When Zang Hong and Chen Dao Xingyuan and Xun Zhen were about to return to the camp, there were a number of horses galloping in the distance. They were originally going up the official road, approaching the outskirts of the camp, turned off the road, passed through the fields of miscellaneous trees, and went straight to the camp. When they came, some soldiers patrolling outside the camp stepped forward to stop them, and after answering a few words, several cavalry stayed in place, and the leader of the patrol rushed to the camp to report: "General, those cavalry claimed to be from Suanzao, and said There is an urgent message for the general."
