The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Zheng decided to set up a new school here, to abolish some of the original bad habits of Funan, not to retain their civilization, and completely Sinicize.

At the same time, all the royal children of the Hun clan were moved to Jiaozhou.

Let some people from Lin Yiguo and Jiaozhou go to Funan to re-establish order and towns.

This matter is not easy. First of all, there are not many literati under Liu Zheng. He needs to transfer some students who graduated from the previous period from the military academy to open up wasteland here.

At the same time, let Zhou Cang lead an army of [-] troops to station in Funan to maintain the law and order in Funan, so that there will be no rebellion at any time. After all, although Hun Panhao surrendered, Funan has experienced a coup, and many places are still out of Liu Zheng's control. Liu Zheng It takes Zhou Cang to calm down all these places.

Because Funan Kingdom was annexed, there was no need for the small country of Linyi between Funan and Jiaozhou, so Sun Jian's army originally stationed in Linyi did not need to stay in Linyi County.

Liu Zheng issued an order to transfer Sun Jian's troops to Funan. At the same time, he appointed Pan Shuai, a small county magistrate in Linyi County, as the governor of Funan Prefecture, and fully cooperated with Zhou Cang in managing Funan Prefecture.

Of course, Liu Zheng did not forget Aguduo. This time, Aguduo put down Funan Kingdom, and Aguduo made a lot of effort. Liu Zheng rewarded Aguduo with a post of prefect under the jurisdiction of Funan Prefecture, and rewarded Aguduo at the same time. Some money made Aguduo extremely excited.

However, Liu Zheng didn't let Aguduo go to the county to serve, but took a fancy to Aguduo's talent and planned to let him stay in Funan to train the elephant army.

Chapter 667 Teacher

When Liu Zheng fought against Fan Man in Linyi County, he captured more than 2000 war elephants from Fan Man. At the same time, he captured a batch of war elephants trained by Funan Kingdom in Gutro City this time.

Add up, Liu Zheng already has more than [-] war elephants under his command. Elephants are not like war horses. The more the better, the war elephants can only be used as a surprise soldier, and [-] horses are enough to cause a sensation. With these war elephants as background, Liu Zheng can also train a powerful army of war elephants.

As for the commander of this war elephant unit, Liu Zheng let A Guduo take up the position temporarily, because this guy A Guduo was originally training war elephants.

After finishing Funan, Liu Zheng planned to return to Yangzhou in April 190.

Although he decided to return to Yangzhou, Liu Zheng still had a lot to do, because the prisoners from the previous Hun Dynasty were still here.

It was impossible for those captives Liu Zheng to put them back to the fields, because they had always been soldiers, and once they were recruited by the rebels in Funan, they would always bring trouble to Liu Zheng.

So after much consideration, Liu Zheng decided to bring all these captives back to Dahan.

Anyway, the big man now lacks some slaves to help with work.

With these people from Funan, some of the pressure can be resolved. At the same time, Liu Zheng needs to take away the 3 men under Hunpanhao.

It is also a threat for the troops of the Hun Dynasty to stay in Funan. Liu Zheng can only bring them back to the Central Plains, break them up, and carefully select some people who meet the needs of Liu Zheng's army. They were placed among the various armies under Liu Zheng.

Therefore, in this case, Liu Zheng will definitely not be able to return directly by boat.

Instead, we have to go a little bit by land from Linyi County, then go to Jiaozhou, and return to the Yangzhou area.

This process is a bit far away, after all, the mountain road is difficult, and there is no suitable official road for horses to gallop.

Returning this time, Liu Zheng secretly made up his mind that he must have someone repair the road at the shortest distance from Funan to Dahan, so that his soldiers and horses can arrive in a short time.

Otherwise, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Once there is any turmoil in Funan, it will be difficult to spread to Liu Zheng's Yangzhou.

Although there is also a waterway route, after all, this shipping line cannot be relied on alone. In case the waterway news is blocked by someone, then Liu Zheng will have no source of information about Funan.

It took a whole half a month to escort a group of captives and some soldiers and horses of the Hun Dynasty before Liu Zheng's army returned to the boundary of Jiaozhou.

After arriving at the boundary of Jiaozhou, these captives were temporarily handed over by Liu Zheng to Shi Xie in the Jiaozhou area for management, and were assigned to various places in Jiaozhou for construction work.

Liu Zheng asked all the royal children of the Hun Dynasty to come to Wu County. After all, if these people were in other places and were not under Liu Zheng's nose, Liu Zheng was really worried. Liu Zheng asked them to come to Wu County because he wanted them to come. Be an An Le Gong.

Don't think about going back to do some stupid things about restoring the country in the future.

It was already May when Liu Zheng returned to Wu County, and half a year had passed since he left here and went to Linyi County to deal with the rebellion in Linyi State.

A lot has happened in the past six months.

Some news has been known to Liu Zheng through the air route before. For example, because of the plague last year, the major forces were short of food last winter.

Especially Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others were extremely short of food. They had no choice but to ask Liu Zheng for help and wanted to buy food from Liu Zheng.

At that time, Liu Zheng was no longer in Wu County. Liu Zheng had already arranged for Yuan Zhou to do these things. He had prepared some food in advance and sold it to Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others.

Of course, in terms of price, it has naturally increased several times. He had already expected that there would be a shortage of food, so he prepared some food and grass in advance.

These grains and grasses are all in Liu Zheng's area, and they were prepared and sold to Liu Bei and Yuan Shao on purpose. They are not afraid that they don't want them. They have no place to ask for grain, so they can only ask Liu Zheng for it.

As for Liu Zheng's price increase, they can only accept it. After all, the plague is rampant and everyone is short of food. Even Liu Zheng is also short of food. At this time, they can still sell food to them. They will only be grateful to Liu Zheng. How could Liu Zheng be blamed for selling more expensive food?

Of course, Liu Zheng once again had people publicize under the command of Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. This was the food Liu Zheng sent to help them.

Earned enough money, and by the way, earned a reputation.

Now for a while, Liu Zheng has a great reputation in Yanzhou and Jizhou areas. No one will remember that Liu Zheng is just a person who was born as a yellow scarf thief, but everyone is saying that Liu Zheng saved their lives.

Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others were able to stabilize the morale of the army precisely because Liu Zheng sold them food, and did not let the people below rebel because of this matter.

In addition to this, when Liu Zheng returned to Wu County, Yuan Zhou immediately came to report to Liu Zheng about the major events during this period.

"My lord, you're back. I've been so busy these days that you're not here. I can't discuss many things with you."

"Mr. Yuan Zhou, don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened during my absence."

"There are too many things, let me choose the important ones first."

"Well. Don't worry, just speak slowly."

Liu Zheng looked at Yuan Zhou, and Yuan Zhou was unambiguous, and began to talk about recent important things one after another.

"In January, a group of barbarians appeared in Lingling County, Jiaozhou. They fought with Guo Shi, killed Guo Shi, occupied Wuling County, and approached our Jiaozhou area, because at this time our army was fighting with the imperial court. Fighting, and soldiers and horses are stationed at the border. So for the time being, this matter is only for the prefects in Jiaozhou to deal with themselves."

"In February, the plague subsided completely, but Liu Bei and others came to us for food, and I sold some food to them."

"Also, the family of Yuan Shu, who was defeated by Ding Yuan, fled from Runan to our Wu County. Because the lord is not here, I can only let them live in Wu County first, and wait for the lord to come back to meet him."

"By the way, when the lord left, he ordered troops from all over the country to expand the recruitment. Now, the three battalions of Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, and Xu Huang have been expanded, and they all have [-] troops. Wenpin and Taishici's troops are still there. Among the choices."

"In April, a group of Shanyue people in the Yangzhou area rebelled. I ordered General Wu Anguo to lead 3000 people to quell the rebellion. Now the fighting situation is not optimistic."

Yuan Zhou told Liu Zheng everything he wanted to say in one breath. Liu Zheng listened to Yuan Zhou's words with a calm face, but he didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, even if he was worried about these things, they had already happened. Since When I came back, I just thought about solving it slowly.

Chapter 668 Meet Yuan Shu

After Yuan Zhou's description, Liu Zheng finally understood what happened.

However, some of these matters have already been resolved, and Liu Zheng doesn't need to worry about it. Liu Zheng just needs to inform him, such as the matter of selling grain to Liu Bei and Yuan Shao.

Some things are still serious now, waiting for Liu Zheng to make a decision to solve them.

For example, the matter of the barbarians in Lingling County, Jiaozhou, and the rebellion of the Shanyue people in Yangzhou.These two matters are more urgent.

Of course, although it is urgent, Liu Zheng has not grasped the specific news of these two matters for a while, but it is another matter, which is more urgent.

That is the Yuan Shu family who fled to Liu Zheng from Runan.

After Yuan Shu lost his territory, he lost his soul. Without his territory, he lost the desire to fight for the world. Even the trace of ambition in Yuan Shu's heart disappeared at this time.

Under the arrangement of his son, Yuan Shu took his family and left Runan, followed the Lujiang River, and then arrived in Wu County, where he was protected by Liu Zheng.

Although they temporarily settled down in Liu Zheng's territory, one of them was not received by Liu Zheng, so they were always a little uneasy, so after Liu Zheng came back, Yuan Yao sent a greeting card, wanting to ask See Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng has only been back for a day, and he is about to get busy again.

"Mr. Yuan Zhou, this old boy Yuan Shu is here with us. He came here by himself, or he brought all the members of the Yuan family from Runan."

Liu Zheng knew that Yuan Zhou was also from the Yuan family in Runan. According to his seniority, Yuan Zhou was still the elder of Yuan Shu.

However, the two had to go up three generations before they came from the same family. This kind of distant relationship, in their generation, has become estranged and is no different from ordinary people.

But what Liu Zheng knew was that Yuan Zhou's lifelong ambition was to glorify Yuan Jing's family, and to overshadow the Runan Yuan family in the limelight of Yuan Jing's family.

"It seems that they brought the Yuan clan with them. There are nearly 3000 people, big and small, but their Yuan family is rich after all. As soon as they arrived in Wu County, they bought several large houses in the southeast of the city. All the members of the family lived in it. It's inside."

"Have all the Yuan family from Runan come over? That's fine, arrange it for me. I'll meet Yuan Shu in a while. Now that the Yuan family is in trouble, it's time for you to stand out. When you took refuge in me, I agreed. After you, you will definitely be stronger and more promising than the Yuan family in Runan in the future, and today is the time for you to replace the Yuan family and become the head of the Yuan family in Runan!"

Under Liu Zheng, Yuan Zhou has been loyal and responsible. Over the years, he has never said anything else, and he has almost devoted his heart and soul to people like Liu Zheng. In the early days, he not only used all his family wealth to recruit soldiers for Liu Zheng, but also worked hard himself. , no matter what task Liu Zheng gives him, he will never refuse, even if he doesn't understand, he will learn it slowly.

Basically, what was done was not very good, but it was enough to satisfy Liu Zheng.

Now Yuan Zhou's status is that of Liu Zheng's Jinyiwei, the highest-ranking commander, in charge of the most information.

Judging from Yuan Zhou's current status, he can already be said to be the No. [-] figure under Liu Zheng's command. Even those generals who have taken refuge in Liu Zheng, stationed in one place, are only the boss of a region, and Yuan Zhou is already Liu Zheng's leader. Competing for the side, above ten thousand people, under one person exists.

Yuan Zhou had long looked down on a small Runan Yuan family, but at least on the surface, Yuan Zhou's reputation has never been as great as that of the four generations and three princes of the Runan Yuan family.

Now that the Yuan family from Runan has come to Liu Zheng's side, Liu Zheng will naturally be the master and rectify Yuan Zhou's name.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhou felt a little excited. While being extremely grateful to Liu Zheng, he immediately went down to make arrangements.

While meeting with Yuan Shu, he also had to meet with some elders of the Yuan family in Runan.

The Yuan family of four generations and three princes has developed to the present, and it has been one or two hundred years.

The earliest was Yuan An in the period of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty. He worked conscientiously in the court and finally became an official as Situ.

Among Yuan An's three sons, the second son, Yuan Jing, was the ancestor of Yuan Shu and Yuan Zhou, and the third son, Yuan Wei, was also an official to Sikong.

Yuan Jing's second son Yuan Tang was an official to Situ and Taiwei, and Yuan Tang had three more sons.

The eldest son, Yuan Cheng, died long ago without leaving any heirs.

The second son, Yuan Feng, inherited the title of Yuan Tang, and became the head of the Yuan family and one of the three princes.

And Yuan Feng had three sons.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao was the concubine of Yuan Feng. Although he was the eldest son, it was impossible for him to inherit Yuan Feng's family business. Fortunately, Yuan Shao had a good fate and was adopted by Yuan Feng to his elder brother Yuan Cheng who had no heirs. Therefore, Yuan Shao became Yuan Cheng. son of a son.All day long, he was bluffing and deceiving outside under the banner of "four generations and three men".

Yuan Ji is Yuan Feng's eldest son, but the Yuan family has a custom that the eldest son is not very good, and those who are promising are the second sons.

So Yuan Ji didn't have much fame, but was robbed of the limelight by his third son Yuan Shu.

Therefore, the family of the Yuan family in Runan fell on Yuan Shu's head.

In addition to Yuan Feng's heirs, in the Yuan family, there are also some descendants of Yuan Jing's eldest son, Yuan Peng, who are considered to be the uncles of Yuan Shu and others.

Now, Liu Zheng wants Yuan Shu to cede the position of head of the Yuan family.To Yuan Zhou, a descendant of Yuan Jing.

Although Yuan Zhou was a side branch left by Yuan Jing when he lived in seclusion in Yichun County, and could not be regarded as the direct line of the Yuan family, but now it is not Yuan Zhou who is going to attach himself to the Yuan family in Runan, but the Yuan family in Runan who is coming to attach to Yuan Zhou.

After all, they belonged to the same clan, and they were both descendants of Yuan Jing's legacy decades ago, a blood-broken kinship.

It didn't take long for Yuan Zhou to arrange to meet Yuan's family in Liu Zheng's living room in Wu County.

There were only three people who came.

Liu Zheng is familiar with Yuan Shu and Yuan Yao, his father and son, and another member of the Yuan clan who looks older.

In the person's self-introduction, Liu Zheng understood that he was Yuan Shu's uncle and the elder of the Yuan family.

Although he is the elder of the Yuan family, in the eyes of Liu Zheng, his status is not as good as that of Yuan Shu. At least now Yuan Shu is the head of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shu can be the master of Yuan's affairs.

As soon as Yuan Yao saw Liu Zheng, he immediately greeted Liu Zheng.

"Yuan Yao has met your lord, congratulations, lord."

"Oh? Yuan Yao, you congratulated me as soon as you opened your mouth. What kind of happy event is this?"

"I heard that my lord went south to Funan and returned victorious. Isn't that worth celebrating?"

"Haha, it's time to celebrate."

I haven't seen him for a few months. When Liu Zheng saw Yuan Yao again, he felt that this guy had improved a lot compared to when he saw him a year ago. At least when Liu Zheng saw him, he no longer had those shyness and gestures. In between, he already had some demeanor of his father Yuan Shu.

Chapter 669 Yuan Shu Surrenders

"Brother Lu, long time no see."

After chatting with Yuan Yao, Liu Zheng still turned his attention to Yuan Shu. After all, he still has some friendship with Yuan Shu, which can be regarded as relatively deep.

Compared with Yuan Shao, Liu Zheng can be regarded as having a lifelong friendship with Yuan Shu. Liu Zheng's repeated rescue of Yuan Shu has long made Yuan Shu very grateful to Liu Zheng.

"Brother Liu, I didn't expect that I, Yuan Gonglu, would be in such a mess. I'm just ashamed, alas."

These days, Yuan Shu also figured it out.I don't have the ability to conquer the world. Instead of being busy with these things all day, it's better to die as soon as possible. Anyway, Yuan Shu is not too young. It's time to abandon these fame and fortune and be an old man with peace of mind.

"Brother Gonglu, don't be depressed. As the saying goes, you don't judge a hero based on one-time achievements. You just encountered a setback. What does it matter? The four generations and three fathers of the Yuan family are famous all over the world, and there is still a chance to rise again."

"Is there still a chance? I don't think so."

Yuan Shu, who obviously had nothing, was able to see the situation clearly at this time.

In today's court, there are only three forces left, the Han court in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao in the north, and Liu Zheng in the south.

These three forces have formed a three-legged confrontation, but in fact, it seems that the court has many troops and many generals, but in fact Liu Zheng is the strongest party to participate.
