278 Hearing the East China Sea's Resentment

The East China Sea is the seat of the prefecture, and it leads thirteen counties. Today, there are more than 90,000 households and more than 450,000 people. There are more than 1,000 county and county officials included in the collection book. In the documents submitted on the clock, the county's household registration, farmland, money valley, prison and other aspects related to the administration of the county are included in it, and the number of incumbents of the county and county is also one of them.

The East China Sea is a "country".

In the seventeenth year of Jianwu, Emperor Guangwu abolished Empress Guo and established Yin Lihua. After he and Empress Guo's eldest son Liu Qiang were not at ease, they asked for a change to the title of vassal king. In the nineteenth year, Guangwu abolished the crown prince Liu Qiang and changed it Feng Qiang was the king of the East Sea. Because of his "can't let go of the past, there is a courtesy", so he took special care of him. He made Lu County, a total of twenty-nine counties, and King Lu Gong had a good palace and a hall of Lingguang, which was very magnificent. Exist, Guangwu Zhao Qiang Du Lu, that is to say, Liu Qiang is called the King of the East Sea, and the real country is in Lu, so now Lu is called the country, and the East China Sea is the county.

The East China Sea belongs to Xuzhou, and the State of Lu belongs to Yuzhou. When Dong Zhuo came into chaos, the prefectures and counties became independent. The food, clothing, and rent taxes that should have been given to the King of the East China Sea have not been given since Tao Qian's time. With this alone, Xuzhou can earn tens of millions more every year. .

In addition to the East China Sea, there are three kingdoms in Xuzhou, namely Xiapi, Langya and Pengcheng. In these three kingdoms, Langya and Pengcheng have kings, but there is no king in Xiapi. After the death of Liu Yi, the last king of Xiapi, he has no children. In Chang'an, there was no need to establish another king of Xiapi, nor was there an edict to expel the country, because Xiapi is now without a ruler in the country.

Tao Qian, in the name of attacking the Yellow Turbans and raising grain and salaries, cut all the taxes that the three kingdoms should have paid to the king's palace every year.

Since Xunzhen took charge of the state, Xiao Gui and Cao followed first, and then went a step further a month ago, using the suggestions of Xi Zhicai, Langya Prime Minister Chen Deng, Xiapi Xiang Lejin, Colonel Zan Jun, and Chen Qun who led the shogunate’s military resources. , according to what the Ming emperor said when he conferred the prince, taking King Qing of the East Sea as an example, he cut the rents to the three kings' mansions again. When the Ming emperor conferred the prince, no matter how much he gave to the county, the year of each prince was often used as the basis Until it reaches 20,000,000; Liu Su, the king of Donghaiqing, is the grandson of Liu Qiang. Yong junior high school, Yixi Qiang is still in peace, and he donated 20 million yuan to the court. In Yuan junior high school, he added 10,000 horses to help the country.

According to Xi Zhicai's meaning, he originally suggested to Xun Zhen to "loan the king and the Hou Kingdom for one year", that is, to take advantage of the annual rent tax of the Three Kingdoms and the Hou Kingdom in the territory, saying that it was "loan", and "robbing" "It's no different, wait until "return", I don't know when it will be.

This dynasty was strong and prosperous, the merger was serious, the people were overwhelmed, and they abandoned their homes and fled. When Emperor Huan, Chen Fan wrote a letter saying that there are "three empty" disasters in today's world. "The fields are empty, the court is empty, and the warehouse is empty. Empty '", food shortage, the state borrowing "state rent" from princes and princes is often seen, this has become a "Han family story", the most important "story" of the Han generation, as long as there has been a routine before , usually can be implemented effectively, therefore, Xi Zhi has this idea, but it was opposed by Xun Yu, and Xun Zhen did not accept it.

There are other lords in Xuzhou, such as Guangling houguo. Guangling houguo is the descendant of Liu Jing, the king of Guangling. Liu Jing tried to rebel several times. However, because he was the same brother, the Ming emperor did not pay attention to his affairs. Later, Liu Jing committed suicide, and the Ming emperor sealed him. His son was the Marquis of Guangling, he served Wang Xishou, and he still ate the six counties of Liu Jing's homeland, which has been passed down to the present day. When Xun Zhen was in Guangling, he had already cut the annual rent and tax to this lord, and even then, he had cut it again.

Tan County is the prefectural government, and it is also the county government of Donghai County.

Handan Rong and Xun Zhen were in the same city, so he did not need to go out of the county to welcome Xun Zhen. Xun Zhen and Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun, Xin Ai, Dian Wei and others stepped out of the residence.

Usually in the mansion, Xun Zhen also wears casual clothes, just like Cao Cao, with a thin coat and wide sleeves, just wrapped in a robe. Today, the purpose of visiting the county is to "show the prestige of the Han family", but the clothes are complete with seals and ribbons.

In order to show the importance of culture and education, he was crowned Jinxian. As the Marquis of Yingyin, he had three beams on his crown. It was summer, so his clothes were red, with a purple ribbon and a gold seal. The straight sword, surrounded by Xun Yu and others, was heroic and calm.

Seeing that Handan was waiting outside the mansion gate, Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Prince, how quickly did you come!"

"The general is in the county, how dare Rong be slow?"

The three of Handan Rong were also dressed in red. Handan Rong had a green and silver seal, while Qin Qian and Ling Cao both had ink and bronze seals. Ling Cao was a military officer, so he crowned Heguan, compared with Wenguan, his ears were shorter, and his tail was doubled.

Zhao Yun and Xin Ai were Zhonglang generals, Dian Wei was a school captain, and he was a military officer, so the seal was the same as that of Handan Rong, and the crown was the same as that of Ling Cao. Xun Yu was the school captain. He liked Wu Guan, so he was also crowned Jin Xian along with Xun Zhen, Handan Rong, and Qin Qian.

The rest of the servants are all dressed in red, and their crowns are divided into civil and military. Officials who are in charge of the law wear dharma crowns, or yellow ribbons and bronze seals, which are more than 200 stone, or green and blue, and half-pass seals. This hundred stone officials are also , and there are servants of small officials, without crowns, scarves with red robes, and some with black robes. Other guards, such as the subordinate governor Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou, etc., all dressed in military uniforms, armored with swords and halberds, and were strong and strong. In imitation of the old practice of yin and spring, Xunzhen this time, regardless of age, brought along those young shoguns in the shogunate, who were not allowed to wear crowns when they were underage, and these young people were wrapped in robes.

Outside the mansion gate, the chariots and horses of the officials were ready.

Hundred stone officials and above either rode horses or chariots. After Xun Zhen boarded the chariot, everyone got on the chariot and rode, some leading and some following.

Dozens of officials and hundreds of guards, the squire Xun Zhen left Tan County, Xin Ai, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei's ministries had been waiting outside the city for a long time. The three of them each sent a chariot and cavalry team. After Ayin's headquarter's Knights Hall, Dian Wei led his followers around Xunzhen.

From the middle of the county to the outside of the county, the people in the county were crowded, shoulder-to-shoulder, watching the bikes and riding Shengli, and the voices of praise were endless.

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were confidants, so they sat in a car from Xunzhen.

Xun Zhen heard the people's comments, lifted the curtain of the car and looked out of the car, and immediately Gu said to Xun Yu with a smile: "Wen Ruo, can you show the prestige of the Han family?"

Xun Yu replied: "If the general is like a curtain, the majesty will be even more evident."

However, he was tactfully criticizing Xun Zhen's behavior of pulling the curtain of the car a little lightly. Xun Zhen laughed and let down the curtain.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "The curtain is lowered, why does it show majesty?"

Xun Yu replied sternly: "The majesty is displayed by chariots and horses, and the guards of honor will come out. For the emperor's shepherd's side, you should move and be polite."

Xi Zhicai first made friends with Xun Yu, and then got to know Xun Zhen. He had a very good relationship with Xun Yu, so he didn't want to make fun of him. He got a serious answer from Xun Yu. He felt bored, laughed and changed the topic. The Xingjun Shang who came down said, "Although I am not in the prefecture, I often hear people say that the Duke of Handan is deeply involved in ruling the county." He asked Xun Yu, "Wenruo, have you heard of it, sir?"

Xun Yu, who was in charge of state affairs, was more aware of Handan Rong's "profound governance" style than Xi Zhicai. He nodded and said, "I've heard about it for a long time." He said to Xun Zhen, "General, the public ruler is strict, and the people have complaints, or there is a cloud of greed for ink. Now the general is in the county. Check the truth, if it is false, and prosecute those who spread rumors, if it is true, you should urge the public slaughter to correct it.”

Handan Rong is sensitive to the inside, quick-witted and talented, and he is a strong and courageous person. Xun Zhen knows his strengths and weaknesses. In the early years, he was the lieutenant's bookkeeper of Xun Zhen, and he often said: "If you don't break my law, I will handan Rong, and if you break my law, my lieutenant's bookkeeper is also"! In order to collect food for Xunzhen, as a native of Handan, he was not merciful to the surnames of Handan County, and got a nickname, which was called "Handan slaughter slaughter Handan" by the county surname, which shows his nature.

In the current era, there are pure officials, legalists, and refutation officials. The pure officials use Confucianism to govern, while the refutation officials use Confucianism and other techniques. There are many pure officials, followed by refutation officials, and few who specialize in legalism. , Handan Rong is one of them. Compared with pure officials, Xun Zhen admired refuting officials more. He was not as opposed to Handan Rong's style of administration as Xun Yu, but he could not say that he was very supportive. After all, being too cruel would lead to public resentment.

After listening to Xun Yu's words, Xun Zhen was noncommittal because he still didn't know what the political affairs of Donghai County were.

Wan Qian was in his forties, Bi Chen was younger, in his early thirties, and not long after they waited in the tent, they saw Cao Cao coming.

The two stood up to greet each other.

Cao Cao stepped inside with a big smile on his face. Before the two of them could greet him, he stepped forward and grabbed their hands, saying with a smile, "Junxing, Zixin! With the help of the two lords, it is as easy as breaking the yellow turban. Handy." Looking at Bi Chen, he sighed, "Zixin, we said goodbye a few years ago, but we haven't seen each other for many years, Junyan is still the same, I have gray hair on my temples!" He smiled at Wan Qian, "Don't see each other for many years. Hurry up and take your seat." Pushing Wan Qian, let him sit in the first guest seat, invited Chen Gong and Xue Ti to be seated as well, pulled Bi Chen and asked him to sit beside his seat.

Pei State borders Jiyin and Shanyang, and is not far from Dongping. Cao Cao, Bi Chen and Wan Qian are old acquaintances. A few months ago, Wan Qian went to Dongjun on official business. Haven't seen each other for years.

Bi Chen looked at Cao Cao's temples, saw a few stalks of white hair, and said, "General spring and autumn are flourishing, and Hua Fa is born early, which shows that he is worried about the country."

Cao Cao sighed, then smiled, asked Bi Chen and Wan Qian, and said, "Do you think you should hear about Dong Thief's death?"

Wan Qian and the two nodded.

Wan Qian said, "I heard."

Bi Chen said, "It's so heartwarming!"

Cao Cao slapped the case with his hands, beat the rhythm, and chanted in a vicissitudes of voice: "The thief minister holds the handle of the state, kills the master and destroys Yujing. The foundation of the emperor is destroyed, and Zongmiao mourns with burnt. Spread the west and move to the west, weep and walk. Zhan Piluo Chengguo, Weizi is sad." After chanting these words, he said to Wan Qian and the two, "Last year, the Han Dynasty was covered in dust and the emperor moved westward. My righteous indignation was unbearable. Zhang, this is a few lines in the poem. A few days ago, I was overjoyed when I heard the news that Dong Zhuo was killed."

Wan Qian said: "The general is both civil and military, and his anxiety and anger are beyond poetry."

Bi Chen's family has passed down Confucianism, and without resigning, he also praised a few lines of Cao Cao's poem, saying: "As soon as Dong Thief dies, Luoyang's revival and Hai's Zhiping are in sight!"

Cao Cao glanced at him and thought: "Although Dong Zhuo is dead, Liangzhou's army is still strong, Shandong is divided into feudal lords, and the Yellow Turbans are millions. Is it easy to restore Luoyang and bring peace in the sea?" He thought, "But it is also because it is not easy. , is when I wait for heroes and martyrs to work hard!"

When he was hiring people, there was no need to tell Wan Qian, two old acquaintances who were not very familiar with these thoughts in his mind, and he would not directly refute Bi Chen's words in front of him, making them embarrassed. Bi Chen said, "Exactly. Although you and I are not in the court, we should do our best to bring peace to the sea, so I invite the two of you to come to our army, and I hope you can be me. Temporarily join the military."

Wan Qian said: "But there is an order, and Qian Zi should obey it."

Bi Chen also said: "The general has orders, and they all obey."

While he was talking, Xu He took the cook outside the tent and asked Cao Cao, "The venison has already been cut, but should it be roasted now?"

Cao Cao said: "Rinse it now!"

He waved Xu He to order the cook to light the fire, smiled and said to Wan Qian and Bi Chen: "I haven't had a drink with Erjun for a long time. Now in the army, you can't drink alcohol, but you can feast on deer and eat it. I won't talk about it tonight. Military affairs, let’s not talk about political affairs, eat enough and sleep enough, we will discuss it tomorrow!”

Wan Qian has eaten, but Bi Chen hasn't.

Seeing that Cao Cao seems to be in a good mood because of the reunion of old friends, Wan Qian is quite convinced of Cao Cao's talent in the process of courting Dong and Andong County in recent years, and he also wants to get close to Cao Cao more, so he doesn't mention that he has eaten. He smiled and said, "Follow the general's order."

The candles were so hot inside the tent that Cao Cao took Wan Qian out of the tent and sat on the ground, under the light of the torches on the ground and blowing in the cool wind, while eating the roasted venison and talking about the past. Cao Ang and Cao Shu came during this period, and Cao Cao ordered them to pay respects to Wan Qian and Bi Chen. After Cao Ang and Cao gave the ceremony, they stood by Cao Cao's side, fetching meat and water for them, and serving them respectfully.

Bi Chen and Cao Cao hadn't seen each other for a few years, and they were a little rusty at first, but under Cao Cao's warm and unpretentious reception, the sense of rustiness soon disappeared.

That night, Cao Cao didn't let Bi Chen and Wan Qian go, dragged them to bed together, and talked about the interesting stories of the past for half a night.

Wan Qian and Bi Chen woke up the next day, and it was already three poles in the sun. Not seeing Cao Cao's figure, the two went out of the tent in clothes and asked the guards outside the tent.

But it turned out: Cao Cao got up before dawn, first patrolled the camp, then called Xiahou Yuan and other commanders, gathered together to eat some food, and left the camp early to survey the surrounding terrain.

Wan Qian said with admiration: "It is rare to see someone as diligent as General Cao."

The guard said: "The general ordered: please two gentlemen to wait in the camp, wait for him to return, and then discuss military affairs with the two gentlemen."

It was almost noon when Cao Cao came back.

Outside the tent, Cao Cao explained a few words to Xiahou Yuan and others, sent Cao Ang and the others back to the headquarters, left Xiahou Yuan behind, and brought him into the tent with Chen Gong, Wei Chong, and Xue Ti, and invited Wan Qian and Wan Qian to enjoy the shade by the river. Bi Chen came back and began to formally discuss the strategy of using troops.

When Wan Qian and the others arrived at the tent, Cao Cao had already taken off his armor and put on civilian clothes.

He just washed his face with cold water, wiped it twice, and threw the towel into the basin. Seeing Wan Qian and the two come in, he smiled and said, "I got up last night, and it was too late to chat with the two of you. I woke up this morning. , I saw that the two of you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. What's up? Have you slept enough?"

Wan Qian said, "I slept enough, I slept enough. When I woke up, the general was gone, and when I asked about the guards, I knew that the general was up early before dawn. I am ashamed of the general's diligence."

"I've been with soldiers for a long time, and I'm used to getting up early."

Cao Cao asked Xiahou Yuan to come over to meet the two of them, and when they had finished seeing each other, he warmly invited Wan Qian and Bi Chen to the table. He also asked Chen Gong and Xiahou Yuan to sit down, and ordered the staff to serve Tang Shui. Take out the map and hang it on the tent wall.

Wan Qian asked, "Where did the general go to check the terrain this morning?"

"After leaving the camp, Miao Cai and I will wait for twenty miles to the east and return to the Salt-Free Realm."

"Can you get something?"

"There are many hills and highlands in the road. I climbed high and overlooked several times. From Xuchang to the east, the terrain is high in the northeast and low in the southwest. There are rivers and verdant trees. ... Yesterday I sent more than ten scouts, and most of them returned this morning. , I would like to ask, there is a river between Wuyan and Zhangxian County called Kan River, which flows six miles south and enters Wenshui River, where there are seven or eight thousand yellow scarves gathered in the valley area, do you know this?"

The situation of the enemy and our troops in Yanbei is not clear-cut, but intertwined.

In the territory of Dongping State on the north bank of Wenshui, there are four counties, Xuchang, Wuyan, Zhangxian and Fucheng. Most of the Han soldiers are stationed in the county towns, while the Yellow Turbans mainly control the villages. The army doesn't have many tools to attack the city, so unless it is necessary, they don't attack the fortified city very much.

Wuyan was the county seat of Dongping. Bi Chen served as the county government and was very familiar with the enemy situation around Wuyan.

He replied, "I know."

"How many capable warriors there are and how powerful they are, can you know?"

"This Yellow Turban thief is mostly strong and has a lot of ordnance. It harassed the county more than a month ago, and I sent a general to attack it, and it cannot be defeated."

"That is to say, the combat power of this yellow turban is not bad?"

"Exactly."

Thinking about it, if the combat strength is not enough, this yellow turban soldier will definitely not dare to occupy the county boundary of Dongping County.

Wan Qian said, "When the general arrives, this band of yellow turbans sent scouts to watch my camp."

Cao Cao nodded. Why do you think so?"

Bi Chen asked, "The geometry of the unknown general's trilogy?"

"More than four thousand."

"The thieves occupy the river valley, the location is convenient, and the generals are not so numerous. If you attack them rashly, what if you lose your victory? Please think again, the generals."

Cao Cao asked Wan Qian, "What's the point of not driving?"

Wan Qian pondered for a moment, then said, "Although the general is good at fighting, he is a guest army. He has never fought against the Dongping Yellow Turbans before. In Qian's humble opinion, it is better to be cautious." After a pause, he said, "The general is for Zhou Bo. If a military order is issued, the victory will be fine, and if he loses, the governor of course will not really pursue the general, but the state soldiers of other prefectures will inevitably laugh at the general because of it.”

Wan Qian's words were very sincere, and he was indeed thinking about Cao Cao.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "I am not as numerous as the Yellow Turbans, but the way to win is not only to control the few, but to use deceit, and the thieves are not as good as me." He asked Chen Gong, "What does the public think?"

The choice of this yellow turban as the target of the first battle was something that Cao Cao and Chen Gong had already negotiated on the road, and Chen Gong would not object.

He replied: "The soldiers of the state and the state of Bering crossed the Wenshui River, north to Xuchang, with dozens of camps, and the flags and flags were hidden in the air. This group of yellow scarf thieves gathered less than a hundred miles away. Not only did no rats flee, but they were repeatedly reprimanded Riding to peep at me, you can see its clamor, it will not be destroyed, it is not enough to show the punishment of the Han family. It is appropriate to strike the first battle and strengthen my reputation."

Cao Cao clapped his hands and said, "This is exactly what I want!"

Wan Qian and Bi Chen stopped talking.

Cao Cao kept Xiahou Yuan because he planned to use him as the vanguard for this battle. He immediately said to Xiahou Yuan, "Miaocai, I will lead you with your troops. I will take another day off tomorrow. I will be my vanguard the day after tomorrow, and attack this thief first!"

Xiahou Yuan agreed.

Xiahou and Cao's family have been married for generations. Xiahou Yuan's wife is also the sister of Cao Cao's wife. The relationship between the two is very close. Although they are of the opposite sex, they are like flesh and blood. Xiahou Yuan had suffered on behalf of Cao Cao, and nearly died in prison. When the Yellow Turbans rose, Yan and Yu were at their most chaotic. Although he was strong, Xiahou Yuan's family was also short of food. In order to support the daughter of his deceased brother, he reluctantly abandoned his youngest son. Ren Xia Shang Yi people.

After Cao Cao raised his troops in Chenliu, Xiahou Yuan first served as the Sima Cong of the other divisions, and a while ago moved to the Cavalry Commander.

Cao Cao used Xiahou Yuan as the striker to start, which can be said to be well-known.

The next day, Xiahou Yuan's troops, including other troops in Cao Cao's army, all rested for one day, and had three meals a day.

On the third day, Xiahou Yuan led his headquarters out of the camp and rushed to the Kan River Valley. When he reached the outside of the valley, he challenged him with dozens of fierce warriors. The Yellow Turbans underestimated their few soldiers. array. Xiahou Yuan pretended to be defeated, and the Yellow Turban chased for more than 20 li to a hill. Xiahou Yuan leaned on the hill as a barrier, and returned to his division to refuse him.

Xun Zhen handed the military report to Xi Zhicai, and said half-jokingly: "Dong Zhuo was rampant for a time, and the only thing he fought was strong soldiers. In the past, when the Yellow Turbans were attacked, Huangfu's soldiers moved like gods, and they no longer plan. The seniors are famous, I only obey. Duke Huangfu. As a contemporary scholar, Meng De travels thousands of miles in a day, and he is truly terrifying.”

Xi Zhicai took the military newspaper and saw that it was sent by Jiang Hu. It wrote some actions after Cao Cao and Liu Dai joined forces. For example, he suggested Liu Dai to rectify military discipline, and he suggested that Liu Dai first boost morale and break the Yellow Turbans in the Kan River Valley. thing. After reading it, he nodded and said: "When the Yellow Turbans were attacked, Cao Dongjun did not do much, and when he was attacking Dong, he was defeated, but now the military is prepared, and it can be called 'knowing the battle'."

People make continuous progress through learning, and so does Cao Cao. When he attacked the Yellow Turbans, he was the first to contact the battle formation, and he did not have many soldiers and horses. He was more observing and learning the methods of military use of famous generals such as Huangfu Song. Although he was defeated, he learned from experience and lessons, and made progress through summarizing. Therefore, after arriving in Dongjun, he won several battles. Now from Liu Dai, the good strategies he has made are all within the rules and regulations, which are in line with the use of troops. road.

Comparing Xun Zhen and Cao Cao: the two have different talents, different achievements, and therefore slightly different preferences in tactics.

Xun Zhen's military skills were learned from day-to-day research and many battles like walking on thin ice. He knew that there would be chaos in the sea, so he studied the art of war from a young age, figuring out the battle examples of the past dynasties, and accumulated more than ten years of study. He also studied Huangfu Song's method of warfare. Whenever there is a battle, he will do everything he can, and will not dare to neglect a little. Especially in the early battles, it is really like what Emperor Guangwu said: "Every attack, the head and temples are white", I am afraid that due to consideration The failure of the soldiers led to the failure of the generals. Only in this way was the achievement of fighting the Yellow Turbans. Gradually, it has been extended to this day, and he has become a famous general; One of the two is diligent to make up for one's selfishness, and the other is a genius of the world.

Of course, having said that, Xun Zhen said, "Meng Decheng is terrifying." Is he terrified?

Afraid, not necessarily visible; not afraid, not even.

Just like with Liu Bei, from the earliest fears, to the later vigilance, to the present, although he knows that his character is tenacious, indomitable, and he is not a man for a long time, he will not be stupid enough to give him a chance to stand on his own, but he is also absolutely famous. No Shang was still very jealous of him, so when he repeatedly asked for military exploits, he no longer used excuses as before, but transferred him to live in Hexiang in Linyanzhou.

The same is true for Cao Cao. Knowing this person's true ability, in the early days, because he was uncertain about whether he could succeed or not, and he planned for the world, he still had the idea of ​​"reserving a talent for the descendants of Yan and Huang to sweep away the troubled world". Today, although he still cherishes Cao Cao's talent, he has actually regarded him as his greatest enemy in his heart.

This is the case for ordinary people. With the improvement of strength and ability, the confidence will increase, and the vision will be different.

Xi Zhicai glanced at Xun Zhen and said with a smile: "Caodong County is 'a thousand miles in a day', Yuan Benchu, today's hero, Gongsun Bogui, Wei Zhen Youji, these two monarchs, the generals are not afraid? Although Dong Zhuo is dead, Liangzhou soldiers still remain. Everyone, Niu Fu, Dong Yue and the generals each have strong troops, do the generals underestimate them?"

Xun Zhen said: "Niu Fu, the crony general, Dong Yue, who was in charge of the military because of his clan, and the generals, the mice, these two are mediocre people. Although the soldiers are strong, they are incompetent. The only generals in Liangzhou are Li Jue and Guo Bixiao. Tough, but Wufuer, what's the point? Dong Zhuo is dead, Liangzhou has no leader, Niu Fu and Dong Yue have no strategy, and those who can't do things, Li Jue and Guo Si are fierce, I expect that they will be in civil turmoil and will perish themselves ."

After Dong Zhuo's death, Liangzhou soldiers were led by Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, followed by Hu Zhen, Dong Yue, etc., again Li Jue, Guo Si, etc., and again Yang Feng, Li Li, etc. Niu Fu and Dong Yue were nothing. Talent, Hu Zhen is now attached to Wang Yun, and Xun Zhen doesn't look down on these people, so only Li Jue and Guo Si are considered as strong enemies, but not to mention that Xuzhou is far in the southeast, at least in the short term, there is no possibility of it. Li Jue, Guo Si and others fought, and even if they did, Xun Zhen believed that he did not need to go out in person.

Xun Zhen did not mention Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, but only the generals of Liangzhou. Xi Zhicai asked, "Where are Yuan Benchu ​​and Gongsun Bogui?"

Xun Zhen replied: "Gongsun Bogui is at odds with Liu Youzhou internally, and externally competing with Primordial Beginning for the hegemony. It is very easy to break down, and if you become strong, you will perish."

"So, the general is optimistic about Yuan Benchu ​​and thinks he will win?"

"good."

"Yuan Benchu ​​is already a hero at home and abroad. If he wins again and defeats Gongsun Bogui, his prestige and power will increase. Isn't the general afraid?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said nothing.

Xi Zhicai asked it again, and Xun Zhen then answered: "The year before last, when I asked Dong, Shandong Prefectures and Prefectures joined together, and was originally the leader of the alliance. Since he is the leader of the alliance, not an enemy, why should I be afraid of him?" After speaking, lol.

Xun Zhen was free to comment on Gongsun Zan and Liangzhou soldiers, but he did not want to comment on Yuan Shao for two reasons.

Although the Shandong coalition has long since disintegrated, Yuan Shao's status is still higher than others, and there are many "famous heroes, wealthy and powerful people" who support him, including many prefectures and county officials in various places who are willing to give their wings. Zhen didn't want to talk too much about him, that's one of the things. In the original history, although Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao, the defeat in the battle of Guandu was both inevitable and accidental. He was actually very capable, not only from a good background, but also not low in political and military talents. , in some respects, he is a stronger enemy than Cao Cao, so Xun Zhen was reluctant to judge him when he felt that his strength was not as good, and secondly.

When Xi Zhicai saw that Xunzhen refused to comment on Yuan Shao, he knew what he was thinking, so he laughed, stopped asking further, and changed the subject, saying, "Zhong and the general agree, Gongsun Bogui doesn't know the deep roots, and he has a grudge against Liu Youzhou. , with the strong Yuan Zhengfeng, the downfall is a matter of time." Leaving the table, he stepped forward, returned Jiang Hu's military report to Xun Zhen, and asked, "General, has Sun Hou's reply arrived?"

"Not yet."

"Don't go to bed and rest, and will return to the mansion tomorrow. I heard that he has packed and packed his clothes at home these days. He is obviously preparing to take office in the state of Chen. If he returns to the mansion tomorrow, he will ask The general has resigned, how does the general plan to respond?"

"What's your opinion, sir?"

"In my humble opinion, if you insist on taking office, the general might as well let him go."

"Oh?"

"The general has already sent a letter to Sun Hou, and Sun Hou will definitely understand the general's dilemma. A mere Zhao Yuanda will definitely not cause Sun Hou and the general to have a rift."

Xun Zhen said, "Wentai and I know each other, and I won't have a relationship with me because of this. I don't want to leave the office. There is another reason."

"Why?"

"Don't be stubborn, Wentai is strong, there will be disputes between the two, I'm afraid that Chen will not be caught by accident."

Xun Zhen knew Sun Jian too well. He had soldiers in his hands, and he had no scruples. He dared to kill anyone. If Zhao Yu had to go to Chen State to take office, after arriving in Chen State, if he did not obey Sun Jian's orders, Sun Jian would be annoyed. , Sun Jian will really kill him. Although Xun Zhen felt that Zhao Yude's love was close to hypocrisy, his actions in the past were suspected of deliberately seeking fame, and in the end he knew him. This time he was envoy to Chang'an, and he also obeyed his own orders. , I really don't want to see him die at the hands of Sun Jian.

Xi Zhicai sighed: "The general is kind and generous." He said, "Everyone has their own aspirations, don't drive if you insist on being firm, what do you do, general?"

"What Qing said is true." If Zhao Yu was determined to take office, Xun Zhen really had no choice.

"What Qing said is true." If Zhao Yu was determined to take office, Xun Zhen really had no choice.

After a rain, the hot weather for several days cooled down slightly, Xun Chen came first to resign, and Zhao Yu followed.

Liu Deng, Dong Zhi, and Wei Weng had already made preparations. Xun Zhen ordered them to pass. Liu Deng led his troops to leave Lanling and went to Tan County to meet with Dong Zhi, Wei Weng, Liu Ye, Jiang Qian, Xun Qi, Xin Tao, and Zhou. Taiju was in the prefecture, and accompanied Xun Chen. Went to Guangling, and hired troops to join him. Xun Chen led the tribes and scholars, turned to the southwest, entered the eastern part of Jiujiang through Tangyi, and then went west for more than 200 li to reach the Yinling of the county government.

Three days after arriving at the county, Xun Chen issued five orders in succession.

The first order, Xun Qi was the chief of Zhong Li, and Xun Qi went to Zhong Li to take office on the day he received the order.

Zhong Li originally had a county magistrate, and it was difficult to expel him, so Xun Chen declared him to be the captain of the north of Jiujiang.

In the second order, Liu Ye was listed as the Jiujiang Prime Minister.

Jiujiang also had a chief, Xun Chen declared him to be the captain of Jiujiang, and ordered the army to move southward to suppress the thieves along the Huai River.

In the third order, Jiang Gan was appointed as the county chief, ordered to cross the Yangtze River secretly, and sent envoys to Wu County, to invite Shengxian to make a covenant.

The fourth order was to recruit Zhenquanjiao and Liu Dengjin into Xiacai, and lead Dong Zhi and Wei Weng to Yinling.

Quanjiao is located in the east of Jiujiang, with Guangling in the north, the Yangtze River in the east, Fuling County in the south, and Liyang, the state government, in the south.

Xiacai is located in the west of Jiujiang, on the west bank of the Huaihe River. To the west is Yuzhou. To the southeast, it faces Shouchun, the capital of Fuling State, across the Huaihe River. To the south is the border of Lujiang County. These two places are adjacent to the Yangtze River and the Huai River, both of which are relatively important strategic locations in Jiujiang.

The fifth order, abolishing the old and weak among the county soldiers, ordered Zhou Tai and Xin Tao to recruit the loyal and brave in the county, intending to rebuild the county soldiers.

There were more than 2,000 county soldiers in Jiujiang, but because the two successive prefects did not know the soldiers, their combat strength was not high, and many of them were reckless. Although not as good as before, the combat power has been significantly improved.

He handed it over to Dong Zhi and Wei Weng, and ordered them to practice diligently and not be neglected.

After the five orders were issued, Xun Chen followed Liu Ye's suggestion and sent someone to Danyang to greet Tao Qian, in order to show Yang Shi Xun Zhen's generosity and nostalgia. He had an audience with the governor Chen Wen, and Xin Tao had an audience with Xu Jing.

Ping'a Jiang's clan is the crown clan of Jiujiang County, Jiang Gan is from this clan, Jiang Zhen is Jiang Gan's father, and he is quite famous in the county. Yang, go to see Chen Wen, after all, Chen Wen is the prefect of Yangzhou, so he needs to meet him.

Xu Jing and Xu Shao did not get along, so although they were equally famous, Xu Shao went to Xuzhou to join Xunzhen, but Xu Jing came to Yangzhou to join Chen Wen. Xun Chen and Xu Jing had known each other for a long time. As a native of the prefecture, sending Xin Tao to visit him was considered a good corporal to show Xun Zhen.

During the half-month period in the county, Xun Chen inspected the county officials, gave up those who were mediocre, promoted them to be excellent, and among the excellent ones, Cang Ci was the best, and moved him to the post of the county governor, ordering him to patrol the middle of the county and supervise the counties. He also listened to the recommendation of the county officials, and recruited a group of prestigious scholars in the county. If they refused to obey, Xun Chen did not force them, and treated each other with courtesy. When it was time to harvest the wheat, Xun Chen personally went to the fields to urge the counties to harvest them, and also inspected the county jails and released the wronged.

With the help of strong soldiers, the governance of Qingming and the love of the people, within a month, Xun Chen won the support of most officials and scholars in Jiujiang County. The situation in the county stabilized, and Liu Ye left the county and headed south, first to Fuling, then to Chaohu, and began to implement the two strategies he gave to Xun Zhen.

These are Xun Chen's affairs in Jiujiang, needless to say.

However, after Xun Chen resigned, Zhao Yu also came.

Xun Zhen persuaded Zhao Yu on the grounds that "Chen Guozheng is in a war, the public will go to fear danger", but Zhao Yu did not listen. Xun Zhen had no choice but to go with him. He originally wanted to send hundreds of soldiers to **** him to Chen Guo to take office. To avoid encountering thieves on the road, Zhao Yu refused.

He said to Xun Zhen: "In the past, he was a general and an official, but now he is a minister of the imperial court. The general's part is the soldiers of Xuzhou, and Yu can't bring it into Yuzhou."

Xun Zhen saw that he insisted so, and did not force it.

Zhao Yusui took only four or five followers, and went west on a bicycle to take office in Chen Guo.

Xun Chen and Zhao Yu were sent away, Liu Deng, Wenpin and other ministries were gone, and the state lost another 5,000 troops.

Long Shi Yuan Sui is in charge of the soldier Cao Ye, who is in charge of the conscription, and he is in charge of this matter. Xun Zhen ordered Sima Xuankang of the shogunate, and Xu Ji, the state soldier, to be the auxiliary. The power and function of the commander is the State Army of the Ministry of Commandery. Xuan Kang is in charge of the shogunate's shogun and knight shogun.

Xun Zhen also passed an order to Jiang Qin, ordering him to select the strong and strong old soldiers in the field army without affecting the harvest of wheat, and the number was limited to 5,000. Ji is responsible for choosing from them.

When Zang Ba heard that Xun Zhen wanted to recruit troops, he proposed himself, and asked himself to send people back to Mount Tai, to recruit Taishan Jingyong for Xun Zhen. People's power is the most precious. If a certain number of soldiers can be recruited from Mount Tai, then the consumption of Xuzhou's people's power can be reduced. Xun Zhen readily promised. Gao Tanglong had returned to the prefecture from Langya, succeeded Xun Qi, and took up the responsibility of the city of the state of the state. Compared with the state of the state of the state, the matter of recruiting troops was more important. Xun Zhen asked him to temporarily assist Zang Ba and ordered him He also went back to Mount Tai, and there was no limit to the number of troops he and Zang Ba could recruit.

After arranging the recruitment of soldiers, Xun Yu asked Xun Zhen to advise him to inspect the prefectures and counties.

Xun Yu said: "For a long time, the troops at home and abroad have been in turmoil, and Xuzhou has fought several battles. Today, the general has been honored by the court. He is Xuzhou animal husband and general of Zhendong. It is advisable to patrol various counties to appease the people, so as to show the prestige of the Han family."

Xun Yu spoke euphemistically, but Xun Zhen understood it clearly.

The so-called "to show the majesty of the Han family" is just an excuse. Xun Yu's real intention was to "show the majesty of Xunzhen". By patrolling the prefectures and counties, the county officials, scholars, and the common people can know that the court worshipped Xunzhen for the sake of Xuzhou animal husbandry and Zhendong generals, so as to appease the locality, deter misbehavior, and unite the people's hearts.

At present, the speed of information transmission is very slow, especially in the countryside, Xun Zhen received the news of the imperial court's veneration. So far, the officials at the three levels of the prefecture, county and county are known, but there are still many people who don't know, and it is indeed necessary for Xun Zhen. Zhen went on a tour to show the local knowledge. In addition, in the harvest season, in order to show the importance of farming, Xunzhen should also travel to the county.

The water conservancy facilities built under the supervision of Puhu have taken shape at the beginning, the military colony has just expanded to the whole prefecture, and the civilian colony proposed by Xun Yu is not long in the pipeline, all of which need to be inspected. Although the prefects of the prefectures have all the experience of managing and administering government, they are all first-timers when they are appointed as prime ministers. Xun Zhen also had to go to each of their prefectures to see with his own eyes and check their respective political achievements.

And now is the Xuzhou Shepherd~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the Zhendong General who is worshipped by the imperial court, it is time for Pengchengguo to solve it completely. To sum up, Xun Zhen accepted Xun Yu's advice, left Xun You to guard the prefecture, ordered Zhao Yun and Zang Bazhen, summon Xin A to lead five hundred cavalry, plus more than a thousand tiger soldiers from Dian Wei's department as squires. Yu and Xi Zhicai accompanied each other and left Tan County in early June, first in Donghai County.
