Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Xun Yu and others have already understood the meaning of Sun Ce's use of troops in Yizhou, and it is best to turn wars into friendship if they can avoid military encounters.In this way, it is easier for the people in Yizhou to return to their hearts.Facts have also proved that Sun Ce's way of dealing with Yizhou is correct.

Zhang Ren and Liu Zhang's old troops have been tossing for ten days, and Wu Yi responded positively to him, but those soldiers from Yizhou, Jingzhou and the "Dongzhou soldiers" formed by exiles from Jingzhou and Sanfu were not very willing.People feel at ease, and Xun Yu's decrees and actions in Yizhou have made those hundreds of households see the hope of rising, and let ordinary soldiers see a better life in hope.

The land of Shu is rich, and they only need to pay 20% of their income every year, so they don't have any taxes.For the soldiers who joined the army, Xun Yu even offered preferential resettlement conditions: Those who have served in the army for more than 15 years will be exempted from taxes for five years, those who have served in the army for more than [-] years will be exempted from three years, those who have served in the army for more than ten years will be exempted from two years, and those who have served in the army for more than ten years will be exempted from taxes for two years. One year exempted for those over five years;

Dongzhou soldiers who want to return to their hometowns, or who are willing to go to Xuzhou and Yanzhou, will be escorted by the government and provided with the convenience of settling down, such as interest-free loans for building houses, interest-free purchase of farm tools, and so on.The repayment period is ten years, and it can be extended as appropriate in special circumstances.

After such regulations in the barracks were posted, almost half of Zhang Ren's soldiers were removed from armor and turned into civilians.Those hundreds of households with more than 50 soldiers in the army can choose to study in government schools. After passing the exam, they can become township heads, town heads, or even county heads, and they can be promoted to prefects if they are capable.

So don't look at the joy of Zhang Ren and others, Xun Yu knew that his soldiers were unstable, so he watched him act coldly.If you don't beat him up, there will always be troubles under the surface peace of Yizhou.

Seeing Xun Yu's question, Zhuge Liang replied in a low-key manner: "Liang will do his best. It's just that the soldiers need to do it when setting up the formation."

Cheng Pu waved his hand, "How many do you need? Pick the strongest one from the army."

"Furthermore, we set up camp in front of Zhang Ren's battalion, just because we were worried about being attacked by his troops in the process of doing things."

Sun Xiang stood up and said, "I'm here to resist Zhang Ren."

When Tai Shici went to Yongzhou, Yizhou's military power declined. Sun Xiang, who was very similar to Sun Ce's personality and behavior when he was weak, could almost be promoted to the top of Yizhou's military power list.

Zhuge Liang thought about it and said: "Let's start setting up an formation three miles away from his camp. At the beginning, we need a hundred soldiers, and you, Shubi, will bring another hundred guards. After our first small formation is completed, we can increase the number of soldiers to speed up." Pushed forward and extended around.”

Xun Yu immediately approved Zhuge Liang's plan.

In the name of hunting, Huang Gai also took Sun Xiang and a hundred of his personal guards with high martial arts skills. The guards followed Zhuge Liang in digging holes, piling up soil, moving stones, and planting trees.

Sun Xiang followed Sima Lang, and his personality became slightly restrained. He was no longer as impatient, so aggressive, and targeting Sun Quan as before.He found that there were more people in the army who were stronger than him.

In the thesis, Sima Lang and Zhuge Liang surpassed him by a lot, and those metaphysics made him want to fall asleep just by looking at them.On martial arts, when Tai Shici was around, he often practiced against Tai Shici, losing more than winning.Later, when the match was evenly won, he was repeatedly reminded by Sima Lang that he even wondered if Tai Shici was waterproof.

When Zhuge Liang completed the first small formation, he sent Sun Quan to invite Huang Gai and Sun Xiang to experience it.

Sun Quan asked Huang Gai who was strolling in the formation, "Huang Gong, what do you think?"

Huang Gai didn't think much of it, it was just a few piles of earth and pits, just go around.But he circled around, and when he circled for the third time to the place where he had set up his long sword, he couldn't help admiring Sun Quan who was following him.

"It turns out that there really is such a mysterious method in the world."

Sun Quan was very complacent, but he only smiled for a while and then stopped his smile. He remembered his brother's advice: When others praise you, you must be humble, so as not to attract people's envy.

Sun Xiang followed the two of them step by step. His mother and elder brother valued Sima Hui, and Sima Hui's first victory in Xuzhou made him start to respect Sima Hui.After the victories in Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Hanzhong counties, Sima Hui had replaced Sun Ce in Sun Xiang's mind and became the number one respected idol.

Now he followed Huang Gai around in the formation and couldn't find a way out. He also felt inexplicable awe of Sun Quan who could learn from Sima Hui. He even believed Sun Quan's pretended modesty.

With a small formation as the basic cover, the speed behind them was significantly accelerated.On the third day, Zhang Ren got a report from the soldiers, saying that many pits and mounds suddenly appeared three miles in front of the camp, and the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion continued to dig the pits.

Zhang Ren was very annoyed, and sent Meng Da and his soldiers to fill the pit.I don't like Xun Yu's actions in my heart.Don't you think that just a few earth pits can trap me, Zhang Ren, and more than 2 soldiers in these earth pits?

stupid!

Such a person was actually sent by Marquis Wu to be the governor, not as good as Tai Shici who can beat him.

Zhang Renshu was under Tai Shici's hand, and Tai Shici and Sun Ce had a tie, and Sun Ce is about to ascend the throne as emperor now, the embarrassment of losing to Tai Shici, and the subtle thoughts in his heart that he couldn't express, made him grieve. Huai wants to save face.

The reason he was messing around in Shu County was because he wanted Xun Yu to call Tai Shici back.

He didn't believe the big words of Dong Wu's gossip formation that trapped and killed Cao Hong, drove away Cao Cao and Yuan Tan, and got Yanzhou and Qingzhou

Meng Da didn't come back at noon, Zhang Ren thought that Xun Yu had dug more holes.But in the evening, Meng Da didn't come back with his soldiers to return to his command, so he felt that something was wrong.These soldiers are reluctant to eat one less meal, and they will make trouble if they eat two less meals.

Zhang Ren sat in the army tent all night, but he didn't wait for Meng Da to come back.

The next day, he led more than a hundred soldiers to the gate of the camp, only to see soldiers digging a hole a mile away.Zhang Ren was so angry that he rushed over with more than a hundred people around him.

Sun Xiang immediately blew the bamboo whistle as a warning, and those soldiers who were working immediately left the hoes in their hands and ran back.When Zhang Ren arrived, he saw Sun Xiang standing there alone.

Zhang Ren immediately understood that Sun Xiang's intention was to compete with him.

Well, well, Zhang Ren was getting annoyed, and Yu Ma started to fight with Sun Xiang.After all, Sun Xiang was still a bit behind Zhang Ren.But Zhang Ren gained the upper hand and wanted to capture Sun Xiang to give Xun Yu a bad start, and then use Sun Xiang's sufficient identity to stimulate those former colleagues who were still hesitating.

At the critical moment when it was at hand, Sun Quan ran out to help Sun Xiang.Zhang Ren's fighting spirit was even more intense, hum, let's see what Marquis Wu has to say when I capture you two brothers.

Then he was unknowingly led into the formation by the brothers Sun Quan and Sun Xiang.

then……

Zhang Ren was led out of the gossip formation two days later, and Yizhou returned to peace and tranquility.

Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan, and Sun Xiang became famous in the first battle.

Xun Yu made a note of them in the test booklet.Cheng Pu and Huang Gai wrote down the detailed process in their letters to Wuhou respectively, and praised Sun Quan's strategy, Zhuge Liang's ability, and Sun Xiang's bravery without hesitation.

As soon as Sun Ce arrived in Luoyang, he received a letter from Xun Yu and others. After reading it, he laughed happily, and then handed the letter to Sima Hui.

"Teacher, Kong Ming and Zhongmou were both taught by you."

Sima Hui twirled his long beard and was also very proud after watching it. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan could jump out and Zhang Luo surrendered Zhang Ren with the gossip formation.Did I underestimate Sun Quan in the past?

"I would like to congratulate Marquis Wu. Zhongmou's strategy and Shubi's courage will be good helpers for His Majesty to complete the blueprint in his heart."

"It's Mr. Lai's teaching. In the future, Ah Shao will also rely on the tutor to teach him."

On the way to Beijing, Sun Ce, Wu Guotai, and Zhang Hong finalized the structure of a cabinet composed of six ministers to govern government affairs and military affairs, as well as the method of conferring princes and earls, setting up three divisions, and three princes as rewards for Sun Ce's humerus ministers.Most of the candidates for the Six Ministers and the Jiuqing were also basically confirmed. Sun Ce and Zhang Hong both voted for Wu Guotai's proposal that Sima Hui be the Taifu, and Sun Shao should be handed over to him to teach in the future.

Sima Hui was very satisfied with being granted the title of the hereditary king of Yin, receiving the Minister of Rites and concurrently serving as the Taifu.The important affairs of the country are only in the sacrificial and military affairs.Wu Guotai fulfilled her promise and had her granddaughter as the crown princess. Even though she had no fiefdom, she had fulfilled the long-cherished wish of her ancestors.After all, he was the only one with a different surname to be crowned king, and Sun Ce did not confer fiefdoms on anyone who was crowned king in the Sun family.It's a pity that the son's qualifications are mediocre, and the eldest grandson seems to be only middle-class qualifications. After he became an official, they missed the real job of the Ministry of Rites.I hope I can live a few more years, give my eldest grandson a smart wife, and train the next generation.

Cao Cao followed the envoy to Luoyang with full of complicated thoughts. This time he entered Luoyang again, which was different from any other time in the past.All the soldiers in Luoyang City have been replaced. He was only allowed to bring half a hundred entourages into Beijing, and the others were placed in the military camp outside Luoyang City and were not allowed to leave.

Cao Cao returned to his mansion in Beijing and found that it had been sealed.

Xu Zhu stepped forward to tear it up, but Xun You hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't bring trouble on the lord."

Cao Cao was so distressed that he wanted to vomit blood, and had to force himself to calm down, "Forget it, let's do it in another place."

Fortunately, he still has a foreign house in Luoyang, otherwise would he be reduced to living on the street?

After Cao Cao was settled, he went to submit a letter. The people who saw him were Zhang Hong and Yang Biao.Cao Cao and Zhang Hongyuan did not meet each other when they were in Luoyang.Sun Ce's willingness to send Zhang Hong and Yang Biao to meet him is already giving him great respect.

"Yang Taiwei, Zhang Shangshu, Cao Mengde is polite."

Yang Biao hurriedly replied, "Meng De, don't call me Taiwei anymore."

Cao Cao sighed, "Times have changed, it's like a dream in the south. In the past, you guarded me like a Han thief, but now, from the emperor to the courtiers, all the civil and military partners sent out the Han Dynasty. I have been working for the Han Dynasty for 20 years. It's empty."

Yang Biao covered his face with his sleeve in shame, "Meng De, it's not because I don't want to but because I'm unable to protect the Han Dynasty in the world in the 'name'. And do you dare to say that you are dedicated to the Han Dynasty? Don't deceive the world with lies."

Yang Biao choked Cao Cao back with a word of "name".Yes, after the emperor returned to the east, the Han Dynasty existed in name only.

"Wen Xian, the Han Dynasty doesn't even have a 'name' now, have you and Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​done their best?"

"You, Cao Mengde, are also one of the three lords, but you still have selfish intentions against the court, so how can you accuse others of the confidence. You should think about how to explain to the world that you used human flesh as a breast."

Cao Cao wished he could pounce on Yang Biao and strangle him to death. The matter of this man's meat was too much to pass!

Seeing that the quarrel between the two was about to change, Zhang Hong hurried forward to persuade them to fight.

"Meng De, Wen Xian, sit down and talk. Try Jiangdong's specialty first." The waiter brought up several cups of tea.

Zhang Hong picked up a cup, took a sip and said, "This is the tea tree planted and transplanted by Wu Guotai. Various tea making methods have been introduced by the folks one after another. This is the jasmine tea in the cellar."

The faint scent of jasmine calmed down the fierce confrontation between Yang Biao and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sniffed the tea, calmed down and said to Yang Biao, "Wen Xian, alas, I'm not against you either, I just don't want the Han Dynasty to disappear like this. Don't think that I am obsolete and ignorant of current affairs."

Zhang Hong shook his head, as long as Cao Cao is willing to sit down and talk.The task given to him by Wu Guotai and Sun Ce is too difficult, and the hope of completing it is slim.
