Chapter 252 Competing in the Central Plains ([-])

Seeing that Liu Yu had temporarily changed his mind under the threat of Gongsun Yue, although Duan Xun was unhappy, he opened his mouth and did not say any more radical words.

"Grand Sima, the imperial edict has been delivered, and you will supervise the military and political affairs of the six prefectures of You, Ji, Qing, Bing, Yan, and Henan. You will increase food by [-] households. General Gongsun is the former general. Add [-] households in Shiyi, and assist Da Sima to supervise the six states.

Now that the imperial edict has been delivered, Da Sima and the former general are unwilling to send troops to rescue the emperor, so it is meaningless for me to stay here, I can only return to Chang'an, and swear to defend His Majesty to the death! "

After Duan Xun finished speaking, he got up and was about to walk outside the mansion, but when he reached the entrance of the main hall, he had to stop the steps he was about to take.

"Angel, the world is in turmoil today, and the journey from Fan Yang back to Chang'an is long, if you go on the road alone, whether you can reach Chang'an smoothly or not is uncertain.

It just so happens that I want to send someone to deliver a letter to Chang'an. You can go on the road together, so that you can take care of me. The angel will not refuse this kindness, right? "

Duan Xun still vividly remembers the hardships of getting out of Chang'an, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was close to death. Whether he can return to Chang'an smoothly is still unknown.

"General Gongsun's kind intentions, I will naturally not refuse, but I have agreed in advance, I will not say good things for you because of this, and I will report the truth to His Majesty when I arrive in Chang'an!"

"Angel, this is your right. I just took you back to Chang'an along the way. I don't expect you to be grateful. I just want a clear conscience."

After Duan Xun left, only Liu Yu and the others were left in the room, as well as Li Cunxiao, Dian Wei, Chen Ping, Xi Zhicai, and Xu Rong brought by Gongsun Yue. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"General Xu, don't you want to see Da Sima? Now Da Sima is in front of you, so if you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Cunxiao broke the silence, but the atmosphere became more awkward, Xu Rong opened his mouth, but he didn't say another word.

After seeing Liu Yu's embarrassing situation, Xu Rong finally gave up completely, with a slightly disappointed expression.

Liu Yu looked at Xu Rong, but Xu Rong only concentrated on dealing with the food and wine in front of him, and didn't look at Liu Yu's puzzled expression at all.

"My lord, don't worry, Beiping is located in the center of Youzhou and Jizhou. Its importance is self-evident. The officials will make it as strong as gold. When the lord returns from victory, he will be satisfied with Beiping, the new governance of Jizhou."

"Mr. Wenjie is doing business, I am naturally very relieved, with you and Mr. Renjie running Beiping, I can also wholeheartedly solve the war in the south.

Da Sima has a lot of experience in managing local civil affairs. In this case, Da Sima should be responsible for local civil affairs wholeheartedly. As for other matters, don't let Da Sima worry too much.

Although the soldiers and horses trained by Da Sima over the years are temporarily unusable, they have a good foundation and can be used with a little training.

And my elder brother's scattered soldiers and horses must be gathered as soon as possible. These are soldiers who have been battle-hardened, and they can be used on the battlefield after a little integration.

That's about all there is to do. If you have nothing else to do, go down and rest. After the army leaves tomorrow, you still have a lot of aftermath to do. "

"My lord has made a good arrangement. If there is no other order, then the officials and others will leave."

"I will retire at the end!"

Seeing that Gongsun Yue was able to employ people boldly and did not take precautions because he first joined him, Du Yu was grateful on the one hand, and admired Gongsun Yue's courage on the other hand.

"My lord, I will definitely cooperate with General Di to manage Anping County well, so that General Di won't have to worry about the future!"

"Okay, okay, with the cooperation of Mr. Yuan Kai and Hanchen, I can feel at ease. Hanchen, Mr. Yuankai is knowledgeable and well-versed in strategy. You two should discuss things a lot, understand? "

"Yes, my lord! When encountering important military affairs, I will ask Mr. Yuan Kai for advice!"

"My lord, don't worry, I will definitely do my best in the end, assist General Di to stabilize first, and look for opportunities to make breakthroughs!"

Seeing that Di Qing and Du had expressed their views, the most important military chiefs and political chiefs had been determined, and the rest were only deputy, Gongsun Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, General Di is the only one who stays here. I'm afraid that I might be defeated by four hands, so I am willing to stay here and assist General Di to guard the boundary city!"

After finally finding a good opportunity, Xin Qiji naturally didn't want to let it go, stood up and volunteered, hoping to stay in Jiecheng to gain military exploits.

"You'an, Hanchen needs to coordinate the overall situation, and will not stay here, but sit in Guangzong City, and coordinate the military affairs of the three cities of Jiecheng, Guangzong, and Julu.

If you are left here alone, you will be like a tiger leaving its cage, you don't know what will happen, unless there is someone who can restrain you, then forget it. "

The change in Gongsun Yue's expression was naturally caught by Qin Qiong keenly, and he had to suppress the thought that had just arisen in his heart. It would be a lie to say that he didn't have any thoughts in his mind, but he quickly settled his position.

"Zitong, Shubao, I am very pleased that you are humble enough to consider the overall situation. The importance of Zhao is no less than that of Dongping County, especially the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang in the north. They cannot be underestimated.

Liu Bei is a hero, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are powerful generals. Only when the two of you work together to rule Zhao, can this general feel at ease, understand? "

Han Qinhu and Qin Qiong hurriedly stood up, promising to cooperate closely and never create suspicion.

After everything was arranged properly, Qin Qiong led the fourth army of Youwu soldiers and the second army of Wuhuan Tuqi, and left Jiecheng first to rush to Zhao Guo to sit in Yuanshi County, while Han Qinhu had to go to Guangtao to select suitable county candidates. .

Supplementing the first army of Wuhuan Tuqi to 1, and leaving the first and third armies of Youwu pawns, Gongsun Yue left Jiecheng with the tiger and leopard cavalry, and rushed straight to Guangtao County, the seat of Julu County.

Now that the end of the new year is approaching, there is a feeling of bleak winter all the way. Fortunately, the auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the coming year should be a good one.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Julu County has suffered from wars and lost nearly half of its population. Fortunately, the families of the Black Mountain Army in the Taihang Mountains and the families of the invading Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army moved out of the mountains, which filled the population of the three counties to a certain extent.

It's just that these families of the Yellow Turban Army are like frightened birds, and they still don't have a strong sense of belonging to the land. Once there is another war, they are likely to abandon the land and return to the mountains.

To make them feel at ease, it is not a matter of overnight, they must be seen to be strong enough, and they are duty-bound to fight abroad, but Di Renjie and others have to deal with the headache of domestic security.

"Zaixing, Ziyi, now that you are new to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, you need to familiarize yourself with the team as soon as possible. After the spring of next year, the real challenge will probably begin!"

"My lord, don't worry, Ziyi and I will lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and we will certainly be no worse than General Di and General Wu Yan!"

After recruiting Yang Zaixing, Gongsun Yue arranged for him to join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as the deputy commander. Now that Di Qing had stepped down as the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Wu Yan also stayed in Guangzong City, so the position of commander naturally fell on Yang Zaixing.

As for Tai Shici, after several months of experience in the Peerless Battalion, Gongsun Yue didn't want him to lose his talent, so he appointed him as the deputy commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, assisting Yang Zaixing in commanding the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

After Chen Ping, Zhang Yan and Pfulu left, the big tent fell silent again. After everything was arranged properly, they could finally sleep soundly.

In the early morning of the next day, after Chenshi buried the pots and cooked the food, the army left the barracks one after another, and the troops divided into two groups to go to Hejian County and Guangzong City.

Five days later, the army galloped to the foot of Lecheng County, the prefecture of Hejian County.

"Third brother, you should be clear about the matter, the eldest brother is dead, if we two brothers meet again, it will only make the loved ones hurt and the enemies happy.

The city of Lecheng County is high and deep. With my five thousand soldiers, it is impossible to conquer it. I hope that my third brother can think carefully. I will set up camp under the city and guard against the enemies from Bohai County together with you. military. "

Gongsun Fan had never seen Gongsun Zan since he was appointed as the prefect of Hejian. In less than two months, everything had changed drastically. Fake.

"Third brother, the whole story is like this, the great Sima recommended me to be the governor of Jizhou, and my cousin was the governor of Qingzhou.

In a fit of rage, the elder brother sent troops to attack Da Sima, slaughtered the entire city of Ji County, and was defeated at the foot of Yuyang County. "

"Second brother, why do you send troops to attack big brother for an outsider, as long as you don't send troops, those shrimp soldiers and crab generals of Liu Yu will not be the opponents of big brother!
Second brother, in the final analysis, you are all for your own ambition, and for your ambition, the life of eldest brother is not that important, so stop being grandiose! "

Gongsun Fan was quite agitated. With his political savvy, he really couldn't understand the difference. He always thought that he should help relatives and not help.

"Third brother, second brother never hides his ambition, if elder brother doesn't send troops to attack Da Sima, I won't send troops either.

It's not that you don't know the character of the elder brother. If he really kills Da Sima, you should also know what will happen to the people in You and Jizhou.

Da Sima has a high prestige among the people, and the people are very grateful for his various benevolent deeds. It is not the time for him to step down from the stage, and they must rely on him to stabilize Youzhou.

One mountain cannot contain two tigers. This confrontation will come sooner or later. Now it is just a little earlier.

If the third brother can't let go of this knot, then the second brother will lead the troops back, but the location of Hejian County is important, and the third brother still needs to guard it well, so he can't take advantage of Yuan Jun on the opposite side. "

After listening to Gongsun Yue's words, Gongsun Fan fell silent. Now that the matter has come to this point, it is meaningless to entangle with right and wrong.

"Since the second brother is open-minded, that brother will not beat around the bush. With the strength of Hejian County, it is really difficult to resist Yuan Shao's army, and sooner or later he will be defeated.

The winner is the king and the loser is Kou. Since the eldest brother is dead, there is no point for the brothers to persevere. I only hope that the second brother can treat the eldest brother's family well and carry forward our Gongsun family.

Now Hejian County will be handed over to you. If the second brother is at ease, the brother is willing to contribute. If the second brother is not at ease, then the brother will be disarmed and return to the field, and he will not ask about the army. "

After listening to Gongsun Fan's words, Gongsun Yue got off his horse and joined hands with Gongsun Fan.

"Third brother, Lian Zilong and Guo Ren can boldly appoint me, not to mention brothers from the same clan. In the future, there is room for the third brother to use his skills in the battlefield. How can he be dismissed and returned to the field at a young age.

From today onwards, you will be transferred to the position of the leader of the tiger and leopard riders. From then on, the position of the leader of the leopard riders will not change, unless one day, the third brother does not want to be the leader of the leopard riders. "

After dismissing Gongsun Fan from the position of prefect of Hejian, Gongsun Yue gave him compensation as the commander of the leopard cavalry. Gongsun Fan also understood the stakes and agreed without any hesitation.

"Da Sima, if there is nothing else, we will return to Beiping City. Now that Youji and Jizhou have temporarily stabilized, there are still many important things to do."

"General Gongsun, walk slowly, you can rest assured that the food, weapons and armor will be raised as soon as possible and sent to Beiping City.

In the future, You and Jizhou will be stable, so you have to rely on the general. From now on, the general will rule the outside world and the old man will rule the house. I only hope that the people will no longer suffer from the war and live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible. "

Now that Gongsun Yue's army is in full swing, Liu Yu has no choice but to swallow his anger. Firstly, he has no talents under his command, and secondly, he is not good at military affairs, so he has to do what he is good at in government affairs first.

After leaving Fanyang City, a group of people returned to Beiping City. On the second day, Li Cunxiao, Zhao Yun, and Chen Ping led a hundred soldiers from the Wushuang Battalion to Chang'an, and everything in Jizhou was on the right track.

Xu Rong became the commander of the Sixth Army of the Youwu Soldier and officially settled down in Beiping City. Cai Yan's new residence is near Beiping Academy, and all the ancient books collected from all over the world were sent to her. library.

"General, why are you here again? I'm too busy here, so don't make any more trouble, okay?"

Cai Yan, who was sorting out ancient books with his head down, saw Gongsun Yue walking in with a rascal face, so he had to stop what he was doing, and came over to drive Gongsun Yue out.

"Miss Zhaoji, sorting out ancient books is not a matter of a day or two, it takes about half an hour, you still have to combine work and rest.

You can just pretend that I don’t exist, and do what you have to do. Smelling the aroma of these books in your place, and occasionally listening to Cai’s Five Lanes played by you with the "Jiaoweiqin", it is rare to have peace of mind. "

With Cai Yan's strength, naturally he couldn't push Gongsun Yue out. Looking at Gongsun Yue lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, he could only return to the desk and continue working.

Looking sideways at the busy Cai Yan, the sunlight poured down from the window and hit her delicate and flawless face. Occasionally, fine hair fell from her forehead and was tidied behind her ears by her, like a flawless ink painting.

Cai Yan would occasionally raise the corners of his eyes to see Gongsun Yue who was looking at him with a smile on his mouth. His face was full of anger and his ears were slightly hot, but he didn't reach out to hit the smiling face, so he had to try his best not to look at him.

After a while, there was a slight sound of breathing in the room. Cai Yan looked up and found that Gongsun Yue was already fast asleep, but his brows were still slightly frowned.

After thinking for a while, Cai Yan put down the brush in his hand and came to the reclining chair. After hesitating for a while, he took out a wool blanket from the cabinet and gently covered Gongsun Yue.

Although they have only been together for more than a month, Gongsun Yue has already left a deep impression on Cai Yan's mind. As for Huo Qubing in Chang'an City, the memory that was originally very clear has gradually become blurred.

"Miss Zhaoji, what are you looking at? Why don't you play me a song? I haven't listened to your song for a long time. Every time I listen to it, I feel very peaceful inside."
