[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

Everyone knows the reason why persimmons are picky and soft. Wang Situ dare not blatantly cause trouble for Jizhou, but he can contact the Han family clan members who can be contacted so far to cause trouble for the Yuan family.

There are not so many soldiers and horses around Yuan Gongtong, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou is on his back. The 10,000+ army under the command of King Chen and Liu Chong can muddy the water in Yuzhou no matter what.

The letters from Xi Zhicai and Sun Jian were delivered to Yuan Huan one after another. The original boss read the contents of the letter slowly, and even felt dumbfounded.

Wang Yun realized now that releasing him out of the capital would be too late to let the tiger go back to the mountain. If he could not be allowed to leave the capital at the beginning, and the little emperor was suppressing him, he would not be able to surpass the little emperor too much due to emotion and reason. Now he is already in Jizhou Stand firm, even if it is useless to let him return to the capital at this time.

What's more, when he left Chang'an, he didn't plan to go back.

Fortunately, he let Xi Zhicai and Zhao Zilong go to Nanyang, otherwise, Wang Situ would secretly provoke Chen Wang and Liu Chong to turn against his stupid brother, and with Liu Biao watching from behind, the stupid brother would not be able to keep Nanyang.

Looking at the whole world, Liu Chong is the only one among the serious Han princes who can muster tens of thousands of troops. Uncle Liu's bloodline is not counted as far as eight hundred miles away. Liu Biao and Liu Yan's bloodlines are slightly less. It's a little closer, but those whose ancestors failed to inherit the king's title are not counted. Among the clan and royal family, most of the princes who have been passed down from generation to generation have a miserable life, but the remote branches have made great achievements.

If Liu Chong wants to raise an army, as long as he is not so radical that he immediately rushes into the palace to get rid of the little emperor and become the emperor himself, he can carry the banner of the royal family against anyone, which is much easier than Uncle Liu Huang.

Since the Rebellion of the Seven Kings of Emperor Jingdi in the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor's restrictions on the princes and kings have been particularly strict, and there has never been a situation where the vassal kings frequently confiscated land for thousands of miles to fight against the emperor.

Emperor Wu promulgated the "Decree of Tweeting Grace", breaking the rule that the eldest son inherits the throne, and re-stipulating that the vassal king must give all his sons the title of king. As for the fiefdom, it is natural to divide up the fiefdom of the previous generation.

The smaller the fiefdom, the fewer household registrations, and the reduction in taxes. In other words, the less money in hand.

Only when you have money can you recruit soldiers and buy horses. If you don’t have money, you can’t move an inch. How can you raise soldiers if you don’t have money?Why did the people sacrifice their lives for them?

The princes and kings were suppressed and weakened, and the princes were nowhere to go.

The central government prohibits officials from interacting with them, and strictly checks them for soliciting guests. If they say a word on the road, they may be reported to the emperor, saying that they are planning to unite to the emperor's detriment. The two-pronged approach in politics and economics prevents them from uniting. .

When the Son of Heaven offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple, the princes, kings and lieutenants needed to offer gold to assist the sacrifices. One hundred and seven titles were taken away.

Afterwards, Emperor Wu promulgated the "Zuoguan Law" and "Fuyi A Party Law", prohibiting officials in the vassal states from being too close to the vassals and kings. Simply put, if you want to be an official in the vassal states, you cannot go to the central court , thinking of continuing to be promoted at the foot of the emperor in the capital, he can't have anything to do with the princes and kings.

Compared with the officials around the emperor, the officials in the vassal states are of course more popular when they are around the emperor.

The vassal kingdoms are getting smaller and smaller, and the vassals and kings are gradually unable to speak in their own territory. In addition, Emperor Wu Qijin seized the title and cut off more than 100 titles at once. Don't dare to make mistakes a little bit farther.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cut their backs to death, and they just wanted to make mistakes, but they didn't have the ability to make mistakes.

Emperor Wu's attack was so ruthless that the clansmen of the Han family who had suffered a lot had to put their minds to the back of their hearts when they wanted to do anything, otherwise they would not be worthy of being a prince, let alone a commoner.

Liu Chong dared to enlist troops without fear of others accusing him of wanting to rebel, probably because of the courage given to him by Emperor Ling back then, after all the sacrifices to heaven and earth were done, so there was no need for such a trivial matter as recruiting soldiers and horses to drill the army.

King Chen had long been self-reliant, and Wang Situ secretly promoted the development of this matter, wondering how the little emperor in the palace would feel when he knew about it.

The poor little emperor has no power in his hands, all the government is in the hands of Wang Yun, and now Wang Situ is flirting with the Han family clan who has long been rebellious, the situation of the little emperor may be even more dangerous.

After all, today's son was supported by Dong Zhuo, a rebel who poisoned the young emperor to the throne. Although his status is sufficient to inherit the throne, to those who are interested, it always seems a bit unfair.

That is to say, King Chen only occupies one area of ​​Chen Guo now, which is not enough for him to be whimsical enough to kill the Quartet with the fiefdom. If he is really allowed to seize the entire Yuzhou, with Liu Chong's temperament, there is a high probability that he will not attack other states and counties, but Take the lead in attacking the court.

He wanted to be the emperor for decades, but he finally managed to stand against the imperial court. If he didn't kick out the little brat on the throne who didn't know anything, how could he be worthy of him leading the charge.

The sunlight outside the window cast shadows in the room through the bamboo curtains. Yuan Huan sighed quietly, rubbed his brows and looked at the flowers and plants outside the room. After looking at them for a long time, he returned to sit behind the desk.

Chen Wang has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. For Wang Yun, the little emperor who is powerless to fight him is easier to control. If he fanned the flames in the name of Situ, Liu Chong would be suspicious as long as he was not stupid.

Now that Liu Chong is ready to take Yuzhou, it can be seen that Wang Situ's fanning the flames has succeeded, so the question is, who did he send to Chen State?

Yuan Huan sent replies to Xi Zhicai and Sun Jian respectively, asking them to check whether there is anyone sent by the imperial court around Liu Chong, and what's more, try not to let Yuan Shu interfere in the war, it would be best to keep things in the territory of Chen Guo If it is really impossible, if you lure people to Yanzhou, don't harm the people of Yuzhou.

The farming in Yanzhou is quite effective, and the food and grass in the territory are sufficient to withstand consumption. Marquis Wu Cheng leads troops to fight more than Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling. He is more at ease. Nanyang County must guard against Liu Biao's surprise attack.

Having said that, Wang Yun's calculation of Yuan Shu is because he is sure that that guy is not Liu Chong's opponent, or does he think he will stand by and watch?

The emperor is young, Yang Biao and Lu Zhi are old, it is not easy to guarantee the safety of the little emperor, and now Jizhou can be called a wealth of talents, not only will he not stand idly by his own family, he will not stand by the emperor in trouble Stand by.

Wang Situ covered the sky with one hand, but he couldn't be the only one in the court. The government needed officials to keep it running, and the emperor had to have people who served him. There were still too few sources of information, so he had to find a way to put some people there.

The distance between Jizhou and Chang'an is a bit far, it is too obvious for him to send people directly, Wei Ji is in Hedong, it is more convenient for him to arrange the children of the clan to enter the court hall, and it will not appear deliberate. Let him be more secure.

Letters were sent out one after another. Guo Jia came over with a stack of bamboo slips, looked at the messenger soldiers leaving one after another in surprise, knocked on the door and coughed to indicate that he was outside. Open the bamboo curtain and go in.

Guo Jijiu's arms were full of bamboo slips, so many things stacked together are not light, the weather outside is hot, and the clothes are too thin to withstand tossing, coming from the official office to the study, the sweat dripping down his forehead .

Yuan Huan is afraid of the cold but not the heat. In the study, he just opened the windows to ventilate. He didn't put an ice basin like the government office or other people's houses. He himself felt that the breeze blowing slowly was very comfortable. For those who entered the ice basin, it was obviously difficult.

"Fong Xiao, this is..."

Yuan Huan looked at Guo Jia, who was sweating profusely, and subconsciously raised his head to look outside the door. Okay, there are guards following him. This guy never wants to wrong him. Why did he change his mind and move things by himself today?

Guo Jia took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, and after he recovered his breath, he said earnestly, "My lord, the bamboo slips are very inconvenient to carry, and the government affairs of a state are so complicated. In the future, wouldn't it be necessary to cut down bamboo forests every day?" Burn bamboo slips for everyone to use?"

Yuan Huan:? ? ?

"Did Feng Xiao take medicine today?"

This guy took the wrong medicine!

Even if they don't deal with government affairs, scholars all over the world have to watch bamboo forests burn bamboo slips if they want to read and write. The big guys have used bamboo slips for hundreds of thousands of years. What is he feeling now?

If you want paper, just say it straight, and he won't treat people around him badly, so he won't appear smarter if he goes around like this, it will only make people think that he was probably fooled by the heat and started talking nonsense.

Guo Jia smiled with only a slit in his eyes, "Those who know me, my lord, I heard that the workshop in the city has recently produced a batch of soft non-ink paper, which smells like a faint bamboo fragrance. Is there any more?"

"For a few pieces of paper, you toss yourself like this?" Yuan Huan sighed helplessly, and took out a stack of cut paper from the hidden compartment under the desk and handed it to him.

The craftsmen are still thinking about a cheaper and more durable method of making paper. The combined output of the papermaking workshops in Yecheng is not very high. It can only be used for private correspondence and writing, and it will take a while to spread it to government academies.

The current technical level is not that high, and it is impossible to make so much paper if you want to promote it.

Guo Jia successfully snatched the good things from their lord, smiling happily, carefully put away those hard-won papers, then shook his head and replied, "Why would Jia abolish the lord for personal reasons, lord, don't you?" It's just that there are a lot of official duties in the past two days, and these are things that need to be handled by the lord personally, even if Jia didn't send them personally, they will be sent to the lord's case later."

He is not a fool, the bamboo slips are so heavy, he is just a weak literati, how can he move so many bamboo slips, of course, let the guards carry them to the door, and then he will personally deliver them to the lord.

He didn't mean to be courteous in front of the lord to seek benefits, he just felt sorry for the sore shoulders of the guards, so don't let the lord think wildly.

After Guo Jijiu finished speaking righteously, he remembered the messengers he saw when he came here, rolled his eyes and asked, "My lord just sent someone out of the mansion, but what happened to Zhicai?"

"Nothing can be hidden from Fengxiao." Yuan Huan shook his head with a smile, and passed the letter from Xi Zhicai and Sun Jian on the table, and stopped holding on to the few pieces of paper, which made him successfully change the subject .

After Guo Jia scanned the contents of his mind, he clicked his tongue and returned, "Chen Wang is impatient, and it is difficult to make a big deal."

Yuan Huan blinked, "What else?"

Guo Jia looked over suspiciously, "What else?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Huan put the letter away regretfully. He also thought that Guo Wuya would start his crow's mouth again. Not used to it.

Guo Jia looked at their lord suspiciously, and always felt that this person's reaction was a bit strange, but after a closer look, their lord was still as gentle and elegant as before, like a banished fairy, as if he hadn't said anything just now.

It feels even weirder.

The original boss smiled softly, took a sip of hot tea and brought the topic back, "Chen Wang Liu Chong intends to use Chen Guo as the foundation to plot the world. No one in Yuzhou counties is his opponent, but two fists are hard to beat four hands. If you can cooperate, so can others.”

It is difficult to rely on one side alone to resist the enemies from around, but what if they are not only one side, but several sides?

The good strategy of long distance and close attack is very useful at any time.

Since ancient times, the public enemies have more defeats than wins, and everyone has their own thoughts. Uniting is often not united as one, but holding each other back.

On the contrary, as long as they are strong enough, no matter how many forces unite, they can defeat them one by one.

Guo Jia pinched her chin thoughtfully, "Liu Chong is not Wu Chenghou's opponent, and you don't need to find someone to cooperate with a small Chen country. As far as the lord is concerned, besides Chen Wang Liu Chong, the only enemy now is..."

Situ Wangyun.

Or, the court of Chang'an.

Powers from all over the world flashed through Guo Jijiu's mind, and he blurted out, "Xiliang? Your lord wants to use Xiliang's troops to force the imperial court to move east?"

Yuan Huan shook his head with a smile, "It's just that life in Liangzhou has been bleak recently. I can't wait for the people of Liangzhou to starve and suffer. How could it become such an act of infidelity as Feng Xiao said."

Guo Jia:  …

All right, all right, the lord can do whatever he says, he's just a young man engaged in sacrificial wine, and he doesn't have a place to speak.

Guo Jia really didn't know what to say to this gentle and gentle lord who smiled like a spring breeze. Sure enough, people are not judged by their appearance, just look at this person's appearance, who would believe that he could say the shameless words just now.

In private, he always said that he had a thick skin, and it was clear that their lord had a better skin.

Guo Fengxiao was muttering in his heart, but his face didn't show at all, and he was even a little excited, "What do you want to do next, my lord?"

Jizhou has a lot of land and a lot of food. Now that the bandits in Heishan have been pacified, it is a good opportunity to do great things. They will slowly focus on internal affairs. People think that they will not fight back if they are beaten or scolded. Who knows how many people want to follow them Tear off a piece of flesh.

He, Guo Fengxiao, sees that people can do no wrong, so he said that their lord will not stay silent all the time, the roc will rise in the same wind in one day, soaring up to [-] miles, and if their lord wants to make a move, there are really few people in the world who can stop him.

Yuan Huan flexed his knuckles and tapped on the book case lightly. He has a handsome face and bright eyes, and a tall and straight figure, with the gentleness and dignity unique to the family. "Now is not the time, just wait and see how long Xiliang can last." .”

If it's just the generals like Ma Teng and Han Sui, they say that it's a trick, they can't stand the poisonous Jia Xu in Liangzhou now, if he uses tricks against Xiliang casually, he will drag him in in his trap.

It's not them Jizhou who are about to run out of food, don't worry, don't worry.

The golden crow hangs down to the west, and there are dazzling clouds hanging in the sky. On the spacious official road, a group of horses gallop past, and the dust they bring up takes a long time to float down again.

It has not rained in Yanzhou for a long time. Fortunately, they dug ditches and built a lot of water diversion tools last year, otherwise the irrigation of farmland would have troubled many people.

The team of galloping horses stopped outside the city of Changyi. Sun Ce, the little overlord who had recovered from his injuries, was still in good spirits after a day of driving. When the soldiers guarding the city verified their identities, they immediately wanted to get on their horses and gallop to find his father.

Zhou Yu quickly pulled the man back, and said helplessly, "It is forbidden to ride horses in the city. Do you want uncle to look for you in the prison?"

"I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry." The tiger cub scratched his head embarrassingly, although he was sure that he would not hurt passers-by by riding on the street, but the rules were in place, and he didn't want to be caught by the patrolling guards and thrown into prison.

Other people's fathers may rush to the prison to find someone, but his father is different. His father will only rush to the prison to watch his jokes.

——Yo, isn't this the eldest son of that so-and-so family?How did you get yourself into jail after not seeing you for a few days?This is really promising, rare in the world!

oh~

It's better to say goodbye, the precarious father-son relationship between him and his father can't stand the blow.

Sun Ce rubbed his arms, thinking that Zhou Yu had never been to Changyi City, he waved hello to the guards behind him, and then walked into the busiest street in Changyi City with his friends.

He is not familiar with this place, but at least he has been here once before, so he is more familiar with Gongjin than Gongjin.

The guards first went to the Changyi government office to report, and after learning that Marquis Wu Cheng was in the barracks, he sent someone to the barracks to notify him. When Sun Jian returned from the barracks outside the city to his mansion inside the city, the brat who had entered the city early was still nowhere to be seen.

The guards bowed their heads in embarrassment and did not speak. They did not lie about the news, and no matter how much they stared at them, they could not make people appear immediately.

Sun Jian sat on the threshold with a big horse and golden knife, holding his usual big knife in his hand, looking at the door fiercely, scaring away many passers-by.

The tiger cub came back with his little friend Sa Huan'er, and when he saw an old man sitting at the door with a bad face, he became serious in the blink of an eye, and fell behind Zhou Yu, asking his little friend to help lead the charge.

A person with such a good face like his father must be embarrassed to let his precious son lose face in front of others.

The handsome and upright young man stepped forward, bowed down in a respectful manner, "I've seen Uncle."

"Gong Jin doesn't need to be too polite." Wu Chenghou got up and helped the polite boy next door, squeezed his fists and looked at the tiger cub hiding behind, and instantly turned into a Jiangdong tiger and rushed out, "Stinky boy, you Stop for me!"

Sun Ce:! ! !

If you don't run, there will be ghosts!

The father and son ran around the yard several times, sweating all over in the hot weather, and did not stop fighting at the door until the sun was about to set. The elder and the younger ran to the well in the backyard to wash it with cold well water, and put on new clothes after washing. Clean clothes, refreshed and happy.

Zhou Yu sighed silently. No matter how many times he watched it, he still couldn't get used to this way of getting along with each other. Fortunately, the father and son were just enjoying themselves and didn't mean to pull others into it, otherwise he would really I dare not come to the door again.

The hall is spacious and neat, even crude. Sun Jian and Mrs. Wu have a good relationship, unlike Cao Cao who has many wives and concubines. Mrs. Wu stayed in Yecheng with her children, and his mansion in Changyi City was not well furnished. In short, there is only one sentence As long as you can live in people, you will be successful.

Sun Ce was holding a plate of fruit, wiped it clean and handed one to a friend, and then it was his own, "Father, let me tell you that I am really promising now, do you know the Jizhou Black Bandit, the leader of the Black Bandit?" Zhang Yan, I killed your son."

"Your father killed the water bandit leader when I was 17 years old, am I proud?" Wu Chenghou glared at him, very displeased with the way this stinky boy started to sneer after doing something wrong.

Xiaobawang finally met his own father, and he wanted to twitch, "I'm not very old this year, and I'm not yet eighteen. We're called green out of blue and better than blue, dad, do you know?" , my lord promoted me to be a cavalry captain, this official is much older than after you killed the water bandits."

"Captain Rider? Ha!" Sun Jian squinted his eyes, crossed his arms and looked at the ignorant brat with a sneer, "Why did I hear that someone was broken by Lu Fengxian?"

"Who? Who was beaten by Lu Fengxian?" The tiger cub stood up, talking nonsense with his eyes open, "Gongjin, Gongjin, we just came from Yecheng, why didn't we hear that someone was beaten by Lu Fengxian? How could Lu Wenhou make a move?" It's disfigured, it's obvious that a fist will kill you, father, you won't be deceived, right?"

Zhou Yu: ...

Zhou Yu was afraid that the two of them would rest and fight again, so even though it was not easy to intervene, she still bravely interrupted the quarrel between the father and son, "Uncle, Brother Yu and Brother Bofu came here this time because of the order of the lord. Go back to Kanto to recruit talents."

Wu Chenghou seemed to have learned how to change his face, it only took a moment for his expression to change from fierce to gentle, "Gong Jin has both civil and military skills, he is a rare pillar of talent, my lord ordered you to go back to Jiangdong, and you have found the right person. "

Sun Ce knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, "What about me? Dad, your son and I are both civil and military talents, good at astronomy and geography, good at eloquence..."

The little bully talked eloquently, but Wu Chenghou felt noisy, so he took a fruit and blocked the brat's mouth, and then continued to talk about business with the brat's friends, "Jiangdong's family is powerful, and Gongjin is very interested in that brat. The situation on the side is clearer than me, so I don’t think I need to say anything more, but if you two go back without soldiers and horses, wouldn’t it be a bit dangerous?”

"Uncle, worry too much. We don't bring soldiers and horses this time, but it's like carrying a million strong soldiers with us." Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head. He and Sun Ce came to Changyi first, and what they wanted was to communicate with the two principals in Yanzhou first. .

Now that Qingzhou has changed hands, Sun Ruiju, a pastor of Qingzhou, was born in Xiaolian.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the official worshiped Shang Shupu and shot Dong Zhuo together with Wang Yun in an attempt to kill Dong Zhuo, but before they had time to do it, Dong Zhuo had already died under Lu Bu's hands.

When Dong Zhuo died, Chang'an was in chaos. The lord of their family was sent out as an official in the capacity of Zhongshan prefect. Let him move to the position of Da Si Nong to be in charge of the expenditure of the court.

Firstly, this is a fat job, and secondly, this job can only be done by honest and honest people, and those who harm the public and private interests must never be touched, and whoever is appointed must be cautious. It just so happens that Sun Rui has a good reputation, so let him be the chief farmer It will not cause criticism from courtiers.

In fact, before Shisun Ruiwai became the shepherd of Qingzhou, there was news from Chang'an that Wang Yun wanted him to be a minister in charge of the Shangshutai. At this moment, he probably had no choice but to let him leave Chang'an as a last resort.

It's a pity that it is their master who is about to control Qingzhou. The state shepherd sent by the imperial court is just a decoration, and he doesn't have much power when he arrives in Qingzhou.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian is surrounded by only Yangzhou who can make friends, but the governor of Yangzhou, Chen Wen, is running out of time. They will definitely be blocked by Tao Qian when they go to Yangzhou.

The lord gave them a chance to find Mi Zhu and Lu Su, two well-known talents in Xuzhou. Those two worked under Tao Qian. If they could get their help, even Tao Qian would not be able to help them.

"I have a hunch that those two people must have a relationship with our lord, otherwise the lord would not let us go to them." Sun Ce threw away the fruit core, and said mysteriously, "The Mi family and the Lu family are both big families in Xuzhou. , if we can get funding from them, let alone go to Jiangdong, we can even recruit troops directly in Xuzhou."

Wealthy family, don't cheat for nothing.
