[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Koto Governance Construction

The sun is shining brightly, slowly heading west.More than two hours have passed since the servant of Sun Quan's mansion served Xun You the first cup of tea.From the beginning, the servant who refilled Xun You's tea carefully explained that General Sun had some personal matters today and would come later, and now poured the tea silently.Occasionally, Xun You's eyes drifted over, and he immediately lowered his head guilty.No matter how troublesome a private matter is, it's time to come.What he understands, this Yangzhou shepherd must understand better

If the general doesn't want to see you, wouldn't it be good to just give a more thorough reason at the beginning?

"He wants to meet Liu Bei before he decides his attitude towards the court."

The servant was startled, only to find that Xun You was looking at him quietly.With those calm eyes, he seemed to have seen through all his thoughts.After being stunned for a few seconds, he hurriedly said, "Xunhou, general..."

Xun You lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "Tell General Sun for You that the person he is waiting for will not come. If he still wants to deal with private matters, You will stop bothering him and leave now."

"Xunhou's words are serious, I'll go and tell the general." He didn't get the next order, how dare he let Xun You go just like that, "Master Hou! Stay!" After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid that Xun You would get up and leave, The servant ran out of the hall first, and his pace was much faster than before.

It hasn't arrived yet, presumably the uncle's side has already done something.

After the servant disappeared, Xun You quietly sat back on the table and picked up the teacup on the table again.

It's a pity that the tea in Sun's house is not as fragrant as Wen Ruo's.

Is it possible to control the Jiangdong family with the power of the Xun family alone?

In general, of course not.Yangzhou is located in the southeast, with a mixture of Yi and Xia, and the imperial court is located in the Central Plains, thousands of miles away, with different customs and difficult to control.Although the aristocratic families in Jiangdong are not as prominent as Ru Ying, they have deep foundations and intertwined forces that cannot be shaken by soldiers.When ordinary officials came to Yangzhou, it was not easy for them to step in and get a share of the pie.

However, if you study it in depth, it may not be impossible.Although the aristocratic families in Jiangdong have their own farms, they are not completely closed and self-sufficient like the north. As the war subsides, there will be transactions and flows of people and goods between and outside the farms.Taking the most basic grain as an example, tenant farmers need to cultivate the land, which involves the acquisition of seeds, farm tools, and cattle. After they are mature, the excess grain must be sent to the market for sale, which involves storage, transportation, and so on.With so many people and so many links, as long as we have the heart, there are a lot of articles that can be done.The cheapest price, the most convenient transportation, step-by-step, and the eclipse of the sun and the moon have made the family accustomed to relying on the power of the Xun family. When they react, the original route has long since disappeared, and it is too late to pull away.

To achieve this situation, there are two necessary conditions.One is thousands of treasures and properties that do not ask for return in the short term, and the Xun family's operation in Jiangdong was originally instructed by Cao Cao. On this point, there is support from the whole north, so of course there is no need to worry; In the officialdom, Wang Zuo, who is proficient in the national economy and the people's livelihood, and familiar with the family's internal affairs, is unique in the world. Although Xun You is a strategist, he has been with the army for many years, and he can't cover everything about internal affairs unless——

"In this world, if there is anyone who can take over a country without bloodshed, Liang can only think of one person." Zhuge Liang said, "If he is still alive, it will be a surprise that Jiangdong can be impartial."

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang did not tell Zhang Yi who that person was.But at the moment, listening to the meaning inside and outside the words of the people in the depths of the bamboo leaves, it seems to be the person Zhuge Liang said.

"If what you said is true," Zhang Yi said after pondering for a moment, "Why do you bother to bring your descendants here, tell Sun Quan directly, wouldn't it be easier to threaten him to help Cao?"

"If it was Sun Quan who was sitting here today and heard these words, sir, do you think he would be willing to let it go?" the man said, "He won't. He will do something to test, and the Xun family will respond, mutual It is speculated that Sun Quan will stop the game until it reaches a certain limit. But at that time, the loss must already exist, and the family may be able to withstand it, but the common people, ten people, 100 people, or more people, will become the victims of this game. " Zhang Yi heard a slight sigh, "So I discussed with my husband in advance. It would be unnecessary and increase the risk, but my father still told me that I must invite my husband... For my father, no matter how much trouble, and even if the It doesn't matter if a commoner dies in vain."

For some reason, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think of Zhuge Liang when he was in Shuzhong, which was obviously from the enemy's words.With Liu Bei's current control over Yizhou, Zhuge Liang could have used more direct and thorough means to plunder the people as military resources.But Zhuge Liang's choice is to try his best to achieve a balance between the two.Even though more effort is needed, and in Zhang Yu's view, in many cases, not only his hard work is not appreciated, but also he will get a reputation for hypocrisy, but Zhuge Liang has never wavered in his deeds in the past ten years.

If Mr. Zhuge was here, how would he choose?

"Presumably, your military adviser Zhuge also couldn't bear the common people to suffer such an innocent disaster."

The words of the people in the bamboo forest were just right, pushing Zhang Yi's hesitation a step further.

"As for you personally, Zhuge Liang sent you to Jiangdong. How can it prove that you are not incompetent? If you go to see Sun Quan, no matter whether he chooses to help Cao or Liu, he will not be willing to release you back to Yizhou Either use it, or kill it, or use it as a bargaining chip, I believe that none of them may be what Mr. wants.

Now, I have finished what I want to say, whether to go or stay, Mr. decides on his own. "

As soon as the words fell, those warriors who were waiting at the side really stepped back, and followed the man to the depths of the bamboo forest.Seeing this opportunity, Zhang Yi didn't hesitate any longer, and hurried towards the same direction before everyone could react.

If the marriage fails, he must at least find out who this person is!

But when he walked around the swaying green bamboos and saw the man's face clearly, he froze in place.The dizziness of light and shadow creates the illusion of spaciousness, and the vibration of bamboo leaves blurs the immature voice. The person who just talked about the current situation with him, and his intelligence and momentum are not inferior, is actually this child in front of him, who looks only in his teens!

The child obviously didn't expect Zhang Yi to rush over. He was stunned for a few seconds, and his face turned red with embarrassment: "What's the matter? I'm disappointed that I'm not an old man with a beard and wrinkled face? Anyway, no matter how old I am Xiao, what I just said is true, you can choose for yourself!"

"Who are you... who are you?"

The child was about to leave quickly with the servants and warriors, but when he heard Zhang Yi's question, he paused.After a while, quietly spit out two words:

"Xun Can."

"Then your father—"

"Not anymore."

After finishing speaking, Xun Can would not answer no matter what Zhang Yi asked.Soon, the mottled and intertwined bamboo leaves concealed the backs of the pedestrians, leaving Zhang Yi standing alone, wandering between going and staying.

————————————————————

This time, before Xun You finished a cup of tea, Sun Quan rushed over, apologizing to Xun You repeatedly, saying that the incident happened suddenly and it was a little tricky, so it was really rude to delay for so long.

"You're welcome, General, you'll wait no longer than you." Xun You's tone was still the same, with mood swings, which made people feel that he was insinuating, but also couldn't help but suspect that he was superstitious, "Since this At that time, You also didn't want to go around in circles with the general. The Shu rebellion invaded Jingzhou, and the king of Wei hoped that the general would lead his troops to attack Jiangxia from the east to help the court and wipe out the rebels."

Expected request.Sun Quan sat at the table, his expression unchanged, and he replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The imperial court is recruiting, and the right is duty-bound. But this year Jiangdong has been flooded repeatedly, and the harvest is not as good as in previous years; Nanyi often invades counties and counties, and many troops have to be sent out to suppress bandits. Send troops Going to Jiangxia, less people are useless, but the extra troops... Shu Quan is really powerless."

Yesterday, Sun Quan had a secret conversation with the counselor for three full hours.One of the ways is that if Liu Bei's offer is attractive enough, he will use the reason just mentioned to reject Xun You.In conclusion, the floods in the Yangtze River are true, and the barbarians' rebellion is also true. On the bright side, even Xun You can't find anything wrong.

And now, although Liu Bei's people have not arrived for some reason, he can at least remind Xun You that Jiangdong can play far more cards than when he was humiliated and asked to burn all the ships a few years ago. many.Therefore, in exchange for his cooperation, it is definitely not enough to simply say "Wei Wang wishes".

However, Xun You did not start to increase his chips as expected.

"General Sun, You think you know that Liu Bei will never form an alliance with you in good faith."

Sun Quan's face froze slightly: "What do you mean by Marquis Xun's words?"

"Liu Bei attacked Jingzhou not only for his so-called Han Dynasty, but also to avenge his two younger brothers who died in battle. General, don't forget that Guan Yu died at the hands of Lu Meng, and Zhang Fei's death was also because of Jiangdong at that time. Stand by and watch."

"Times have changed, and the enemy and us are different. Such a simple truth, Liu Bei's generation of heroes, must still know."

"If Liu Bei knew that it should not be Jingzhou that is sweeping the flames of war, but Hanzhong." Xun You continued, "When the general was discussing with the counselors, did you ever think about why Liu Bei, who was determined to capture the north, should attack the east of Jingzhou first?" Jingzhou and the police on the front line. Who is he guarding against, and who is he threatening?"

Xun You's words hit Sun Quan's heart on time.Liu Bei's strange strategy of dispatching troops was naturally the focus of their secret conversation yesterday.Due to the consideration of the situation, Liu Bei should have gone north to attack Hanzhong first, and ensured that the Ziwu Road and Di Dao roads connecting the northern border and central Shu were under his control before attempting to plot Jingzhou.Later they came to the conclusion that Liu Bei wanted to use offense instead of defense. Through the critical situation in Jingzhou, Cao Cao was forced to concentrate most of his troops in Wanluo's generation, and he was unable to attack Sichuan and Shu from Hanzhong.But this still cannot explain why Liu Bei attacked Jiangling and Public Security first, and after capturing the city, he sent heavy troops to garrison it.

This area is beyond the reach of the north.Liu Bei will only be on guard against Sun Quan in the east.Sending people to form an alliance with Sun Quan may also be a blindfold to paralyze Jiangdong. After reaching the alliance, taking advantage of Jiangdong's lack of reaction, he immediately sent troops to the east to occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou and even a part of Yangzhou.

But if Liu Bei really did this, wouldn't he be crazy?The previous world was nominally unified, but Jiangdong forces still existed. If Liu Bei wanted to disrupt the situation, he should choose to form an alliance with Sun Quan to defeat powerful enemies.How could it be possible to fight Cao Cao while demonstrating against Sun Quan?

Neither Sun Quan nor his counselors could figure this out.But they knew that Jiangdong was more taboo about letting Liu Bei get Jingzhou than Cao Cao whose center of gravity was always in the north.

"There is another choice." Having said that, Sun Quan felt that it would be better to play the cards more clearly, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought in Jingzhou, but they will be powerless in the east. If Quan can take this opportunity to win Qingxu, he might as well give up Jingzhou Liu Bei."

"There are not many defenders in Jianghuai now." Xun You agreed, "In Hefei County, there are only three generals and [-] defenders. If the general wants to, he can lead his troops to have a try."

This answer made Sun Quan feel uncomfortable again.In yesterday's secret talk, attacking Jianghuai was also the best strategy. If Xun You just said any reason to stop him, he would take this strategy into consideration.But Xun You went in the opposite direction, did not say a word to stop him, and told him about the deployment of troops in Jianghuai.This seemingly honest statement made him believe it or not, but he hesitated in his heart.

"Actually, you understand the general's worries. It's nothing more than worrying that the pay is not commensurate with the reward." After a long silence, Xun You spoke first, and his tone was warmer than before, "Jiangdong sends troops, we must Pass through Xiakou, then go to Lukou and Baqiu. Xiakou strangles Jianghan and leads Wu and Chu. If you advance, you can point directly at Jiangling, and if you retreat, you can stick to Jiujiang. If the general can control Xiakou, Jingzhou may not only be in Cao Liu Jian chooses the master."

"...Xunhou means that it is possible for King Wei to allow Jiangdong to occupy Jiangxia?"

"The land is forged, not given away. If the general has such strength, what difference does it make if King Wei is willing or not?"

Take Jingzhou!

In fact, this is the best strategy that Sun Quan and his counselors discussed in secret at the end.The situation in Jianghuai is not clear enough to send troops rashly, and Liu Bei's attitude is ambiguous and unpredictable. The safest and most profitable choice is to take advantage of Cao Liu's snipe and clam conflict, and when both sides are hurting, Jiangdong takes advantage of the situation to occupy Jingzhou and divide the world with Cao Cao.And this plan is very feasible, and there is another more important reason: the spies who have been sent to the north for many years and have not been useful, finally sent back a useful piece of information-Cao Cao's serious illness is difficult to heal, this time he went out with illness, I am afraid Life is not long.

If Cao Cao dies, there will be chaos in the north.He first helped Cao Cao defeat Liu Bei, and then drove Cao Jun back to the north. Jiangdong's dilemma was immediately resolved.

Now there is only one problem left, which is obviously the most favorable decision for Jiang Dong, why did it come from Xun You first.

"The general doesn't like the Xun family, but the Xun family has always been happy to see a strong Jiangdong."

Xun You stood up slowly, and from the waveless deep pool, Sun Quan finally got a glimpse of the true meaning that made him happy.

"May the Xun family and the general have a happy cooperation."

Chengdu Fei Yi Mansion

"Yi has no official position, so where is the state affairs?" Fei Yi took Yu Yi's words naturally, as if the stagnation of the air just now was just an illusion, "It's you who came here without warning, for chess? For the country? "

Yu Yi's peach blossom eyes flickered, looking extremely innocent: "Yike hasn't reached the crown yet, and state affairs must have nothing to do with me. Besides, you know me, don't worry about those intrigues, it's annoying to listen to." " He picked up a chess piece, played with it casually, and suddenly found something, and looked at Ying Ping with a half-smile, "Wen Wei's guest today is so embarrassing that Wen Wei is willing to give this pair of Mr. Zhuge as a gift." Take out the chess pieces."

Ying calmed down, the title "Mr. Zhuge" always refers to only one person in Yizhou.

And as if to confirm his guess, Yu Yi did not forget to explain with a serious expression: "It is Mr. Zhuge Kongming Zhuge, who has a very good relationship with Wen Wei. Knowing that Wen Wei is fond of chess, he specially gave this pair of jade chess as a gift." Birthday ceremony." After finishing speaking, the chess piece fell, and the jade stone was clasped with the chessboard, making a clear sound, "This chess seems to be over, my guest, do you have anything else to do?"

"...Ping suddenly remembered that there are other things to do today, so I don't want to disturb you, so I will leave."

Looking at the back of Ying Ping who hurriedly left without waiting for his own response, Fei Yi showed a little helplessness on his face, and raised his sleeves to sweep up the chess game.

"What Boyi did was a little too much."

Yu Yi was still grinning: "What you want is peace and tranquility in Yizhou; but I just want to save someone on a whim. Everyone has their own fun, so why bother."

"Can you guarantee that once he goes there, he will be able to leave Yizhou willingly, and there will be no more trouble?"

"Not yet. I have to chase after him and have a few words with him. A few words... have to avoid what Wen Wei said."

"...Alas." Fei Yi was silent for a long time, then heaved a sigh and waved his hand, "As you wish."

Yu Yi smiled again, didn't say anything, got up and followed.After he left a certain distance, there was a rustling sound from the grass, and a group of people stood up one after another.In this small courtyard, a total of fifteen knife and axemen with sharp weapons were ambushed.

"Master Fei, are you chasing him?"

"No need."

"Can--"

"Can't beat it."

Fei Yi directly cut off his words.Just when the group of people were even more puzzled, Fei Yi turned around and shouted loudly: "Miss Ah Wu, let's stop here, okay?"

no respond.Only the sound of the wind is solemn, and the branches and leaves are swaying.After a while, after the rustling among the grass and trees gradually disappeared, Fei Yi knew that the person had left.

On the other side, Yu Yi, or Guo Yi, did not leave too hastily.If this Yingping didn't even have this awareness, then it would be too humiliating to the word octopus.

Sure enough, just as Guo Yi walked into a narrow alley, he suddenly heard the wind blowing in front of him, and the dust raised made him squint his eyes.When he opened his eyes again, Ying Ping was already kneeling in front of him.

"My subordinates, see Young Master."

"I won't say anything superfluous." Guo Yi frowned slightly, "You immediately give up all your plans and leave Yizhou, the sooner the better."

Ying Ping was taken aback: "This subordinate has already—"

Guo Yi stopped his words first: "I don't care who you think you have won over and what promises they gave you, it's useless. Ten years of power, even if you have the skills of vertical and horizontal, you can't be three-inch tongue Shocking. Unless Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang are out this time, no matter how nice they say, they dare not do anything. Ever since you showed up in Yizhou, Zhuge Liang has found someone to watch you, Hurry up, and if it's a day or two later, I won't be able to save you."

Ying Ping was taken aback, not only because Guo Yi's previous efforts were in vain with a few words, but more importantly, with his quality, he didn't realize that he was being secretly watched all this time.Several years of peaceful life had worn away his sharp claws, and his self-righteousness had paralyzed the vigilance that should have been engraved in his instincts.

He couldn't help but think of the scene in Fei Mansion again.If Guo Yi hadn't realized something was wrong after bumping into him on the street and followed him in time, he might have died there so stupidly.This made him suddenly overwhelmed by depression and despair.Could it be that for the rest of his life, he really can only wait for the coming of death in the mediocre peace like those ordinary people?

"If you are really unwilling, you can go to Fancheng. My father must be short of manpower. You may get what you want if you go there."

Ying Ping was taken aback, apparently he did not expect Guo Yi to say this to him.After being stunned for a moment, he fell into intense ecstasy, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Young Master, for your guidance!" He has been in Yizhou for a long time, and he has heard the news of the siege of Fancheng, and he also knows that it is a matter of entering Fancheng, which is surrounded by the army. What a difficult thing.But precisely because of this, it was exciting enough to meet his wishes.

"Young Master, can you..."

"I don't want it!" As soon as the words came out, Guo Yi himself was taken aback by this instinctive resistance.A strange red color suddenly appeared on his face, and he deliberately avoided Ying Ping's inquiring gaze, "I'm different from you. I don't need to go to Fancheng to cause trouble."

Now that Guo Jia is here, Fancheng must have no shortage of counselors, what is lacking should be shadow fighters like Ying Ping, who are strong and stealthy, so Guo Yi's words are not wrong.But for some reason, Ying Ping could vaguely hear the meaning of... being angry?

But the affairs of the nobleman are far beyond his ability to intervene.Now that he had the direction, he didn't delay any longer, and bowed to Guo Yi again, then stepped on the wall tiles and disappeared.

After an unknown amount of time, Guo Yi felt the aura getting closer and closer behind him. He didn't look back, but said, "If you want to go to Fancheng, you can go. You don't need to ask my opinion."

"My task is to ensure the safety of the young master." Xi Wu said softly.After a pause, he softened his tone again, and comforted him in a gentle voice, "Wherever the young master wants to go, you can go there, and you don't have to care about other people's opinions."

"Of course I don't care about other people's opinions!" Guo Yi's voice suddenly became louder, "Just like in Yizhou, I come here whenever I want, and I can make friends with whoever I want. Anyway, he never cares about me. Then they fight for this It's none of my business to fight for the broken world!"

"..."

"..." The long silence behind it made Guo Yi's insincere words seem more self-evident.

He was also a little depressed suddenly.

After another while, Guo Yi finally turned around, pretending to be calm and not deliberate at all, at least to hide it from Xiwu's eyes

"Let's go back to Yecheng."

————————————————————

"Yecheng? Wen Ruo really told you that?"

With enough bait, the subsequent conversation between Xun You and Sun Quan went smoothly, and it didn't take long for them to reach an agreement.After leaving the Sun Mansion and returning to the carriage, Xun You still couldn't hold back in the end, and asked the driver to drive faster.But when the carriage drove back home, what he saw at home was not the person he was thinking of, but Xun Can, who had no similarity to Xun Yu's disposition, and was used to causing headaches like Guo Jia.

indeed.Although people in Sichuan have never seen Wen Ruo, they are still cautious.

Reasons given rationally did not alleviate Xun You's disappointment much.He secretly thought that in a few days, when the army left Jiangdong, he would definitely go to Wancheng, while maintaining the appearance of an elder in front of Xun Can, even though in terms of seniority, he and Xun Can are only of the same generation .

"Yeah." Even though he saw that Xun You was absent-minded, Xun Can didn't dare to say it outright like he did when he was younger.In front of Xun You, Xun Can is much more well-behaved than when he was playing games with Zhang Yi. He knew that only in this way, Xun You would not immediately drive him back to Wancheng, "Yecheng was hit by a major epidemic first, and people were panicked, and then Jingzhou was in danger. Now the battle situation in Jingzhou is anxious, the army is out, Yecheng is empty, but His Majesty and Empress are both in the city, civil strife is very likely."

"Father also said that there is one most critical thing that Uncle Feng Xiao must find out. Only in this way can the situation in Jingzhou be solved."

"What did Wen Ruoke tell you?"

Xun Can waved to Xun You.Xun You bent down and listened for a moment, a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

"No wonder... come to think of it, with Feng Xiao's ability, he will definitely be able to discover this matter."

As long as he didn't get into chaos due to something other than the battle situation.

Press the back of the matter does not show.As if to confirm Xun Yu's worries about Yecheng, at the same moment when Xun Can and Xun You met, in Yecheng thousands of miles away, Wei Xi, who was wearing a bamboo hat, was also sitting in an unremarkable wine shop, secretly Meet with a person.

Today, when the culture of writing is better than quality in Yecheng is becoming more and more popular, it is difficult for those who are not good at speech and who are not well-born to win the praise of scholars.Wei Xie, as a leader among scholars, actually looks down on those rotten Confucians and rough officials who are busy with mundane affairs even more than others.But for this person in front of him, although he still had the usual arrogance in his eyes, he couldn't help feeling uneasy in his heart.

Many people have forgotten the name of the person who has made no achievements in front of him, but it just so happens that Wei Xi still remembers it.

His name is Xu Shu.
