Yuan Shu is narrow-minded, and has not changed since he was a child. His things can only belong to him. If others dare to touch them, they will cut off their hands. Everyone wants to take things from him without being his own brother. It depends on his temper. It's easy to bully, isn't it?

Heh, he, Yuan Gonglu, has never had a good temper since he was so old.

When Sun Jian ran away with food and grass back then, he could immediately pull a alliance to beg Sun Jian to make Sun Jian unhappy. In addition to being angry with Sun Jian and running away with his troops, he was even more angry that Sun Jian was running away with his food and grass.

Do you have no food for yourself?Does he have the nerve to steal other people's things?

Although things changed later, he could only hold his nose and reconcile with Wu Chenghou, but it was limited to not causing trouble there, and wanted him to give Sun Jian a good face, unless their elder brother was standing next to him.

Sun Jian only brought some food and grass to leave, and it made him think about it until now. Now that Liu Chong wants to compete with him for the territory, I am afraid that the old birthday star hanged himself-he is tired of living.

This old boy supported him when he was in the Kwantung League, and he didn't change the consul directly because of his face at that time, like he did in other places. Otherwise, Chen Guo would not be able to attract as many people as it is now.

He has retreated to such an extent, the old boy is still not satisfied, even sent troops to attack other counties in Yuzhou, he didn't look at his own ability, even if he was given a Yuzhou shepherd, he had to be able to catch it.

Yuan Shu regards the whole Yuzhou as his own, and there is no reason to swallow his anger when others beat him to his door. Now Liu Chong is a prisoner. Yuan Gonglu.

Liu Chong was ready to turn against Yuan Shu if he wanted to win Yuzhou. The two of them stood in the same team when they were in the Kanto League. The world changed, and it was not a big deal to part ways. The identities of the two of them were there, and sooner or later they would turn against each other. thing.

He just didn't expect that he would lose so quickly.

Yuan Shu's men lost Sun Jian, and their combat strength was greatly reduced. Ji Ling was more than brave enough to be strategic. Besides him, Yuan Gonggong didn't have many generals who could use him. Liu Jingsheng from Jingzhou would attack Nanyang to hold back Yuan Shu's main force after hearing about him. , it stands to reason that it should be easy for him to take down Qiao County.

Many people in Yuzhou fled, and even aristocratic families dragged their families to move to other places. After the war, the population dropped sharply, and there were not enough men farming, and the number of guards in counties and counties decreased again and again.

If the imperial court can't pay the army, if they recruit too many soldiers, it will delay farming, and if they delay farming, it will affect the harvest. If the harvest is affected, they will not be able to collect taxes, and if they cannot collect taxes, they will not be able to support soldiers. There are not many guards, and his Chen State can still have an army of 10,000+ in a depression, which can be said to be the only one in Yuzhou.

Why would his 10,000+ army be defeated by an unknown young general? This is unreasonable.

Liu Chong stared at Zhao Yun with resentment. Yuan Shu's provocations entered his left ear and left his right ear but out of his head, but this person was the chief culprit who made him fall into such a situation. Even if Guo Tu sent news to the city, he would The soldiers will never be rebelled by Guo Tuce.

Those soldiers were all carefully selected by him, and they were only loyal to him. Guo Tu was not that capable of making his soldiers surrender to the enemy.

Yuan Shu followed his gaze, crossed his arms and asked, "Zilong, why is he staring at you?"

Zhao Yun: ...

Fortunately, this man is a dude who doesn't like to deal with political affairs, otherwise Mr. Zhicai's hair would fall out.

"My lord, it was the last general who led the troops to arrest Lord Chen Wang here." Zhao Yunsu replied with a serious face, "Even Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo, and other generals in His Highness Chen's army were all brought back by the last general. of."

"Zilong is unparalleled in the world for his bravery. Come here and give the credit to General Zilong. In the future, the prefect will be rewarded extra." Yuan Shu patted the armor on Zhao Yun's shoulder with the tone of "my family has a son who has just grown up". , patted it twice and thought his armor was too hard, shook his hands and continued to run on Liu Chong, "His Royal Highness Chen Wang's 10,000+ army is no match for my family's General Zilong's mere thousands of people, Lian Po is old, and he still has to serve the old Old man, otherwise, next time, my family's General Zilong will single-handedly kill all of you."

Zhao Yun twitched the corners of his mouth, with a dull expression on his face, "My lord, most of the troops under King Chen's command are farmers who have been on the battlefield for the first time, not trained soldiers."

It's not that he's powerful, it's that the moment he led his troops to charge up, the opponent's team was in chaos, and his soldiers didn't even have time to kill the enemy, and just maintaining order ruined the strength of the boss.

In the end, the casualties were counted, and there were not many people who died under the knife and gun. They were all injuries caused by pushing and trampling. They were sent to the wounded barracks, and even the disease doctor said that they had never seen such injuries after staying in the army for so many years.

What can he do, he has never seen this scene.

Zhao Zilong sighed tiredly, and glanced at the general Chen Guo who was hiding in the corner of the prison cell. He had no doubt that these people could not even beat his own soldiers when they went out.

No, these people surrendered so quickly, not to mention comparing with his own soldiers, even the top soldiers in his battalion who have only trained for less than a year can beat them to the ground.

How can you say that you are a general if you shrink back and fear the enemy first when you go into battle for the general?

Among the entire army of the Chen Kingdom, the one who can fight the most is Chen Wang Liu Chong. Sure enough, as long as he lives long enough, he can see any weird scenes.

"Catch farmers to go to the battlefield?" Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows, "I don't know who said that Chen Guo took in the homeless people, and the people lived and worked in Chen Guo in peace and contentment. It turns out that His Royal Highness Chen released the news to attract so many people, and it turned out to be the idea of ​​sending them to the battlefield to die. As expected of His Royal Highness Chen, this idea is brilliant."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Chong's eyes widened angrily, and the back of his hand stretched his veins as he grabbed the prison door, "I, Chen Guofu, and the people have enough food and clothing to join the army on their own initiative, so what do you, Yuan Gonglu, know? If it wasn't for you oppressing the people in Yuzhou , those people will flee to our country of Chen?"

"Me? I bully the common people?" Yuan Shu sneered, and staggered to reveal his subordinates behind him, "Come on, tell His Highness Chen Wang how dedicated I am as an official."

Yang Hong: ...

Yan Xiang: ...

In fact, my lord, it is the best thing for the common people if you do not fulfill your duties.

Zhao Yun has always stayed away from things like flirting with beards and flattering horses. Yang Hong and Yan Xiang exchanged glances.

Although the eloquence of the two of them is not as good as that of Guo Tu, it is still possible to blow the wind to the lord to make the lord happy. As a qualified civil servant, learning to sing praises to Shangguan is the most basic skill.

Yuan Shu stood beside him in a good mood, his small eyes glanced into the prison from time to time, the happier Liu Chong was, the happier he was.

He may have really done things to bully the people before, but that was the him in the past, and it has nothing to do with the current him. He has changed now. Under the teachings of his elder brother, he already knows that people have to do what they can. , can't be brave enough to do things that he can't do, he has already developed a memory, so after returning to Nanyang, he immediately handed over all political affairs to his subordinates.

He is not good at handling government affairs, he is only good at being a dude.

Being a dandy is also a technical job. With his brother at home, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to eat in the future. He has the confidence to be this dandy. Even if he is not with the eldest brother, the eldest brother will send someone to take care of him. So much better.

He originally thought that Zhao Zilong was too young, and his eldest brother sent such a young general to Nanyang with him to let him take care of others, but in the end he was overthinking.

As expected of the people around the elder brother, the literati and military generals are so powerful, this time I have seen Zhao Zilong's ability, and I can let him practice with the soldiers in other battalions later.

Ji Ling's stunned young man didn't have a charter, he could do whatever he was told to do, and he didn't know what to do without an order. It just so happened that Zhao Zilong had gained military merits, so it would be better for him to pull Ji Ling to reorganize the entire Nanyang army.

Liu Chong is an old man who still thinks that he oppresses the people, and he can make the people live a better life. Can this old man do it?

Liu Chong blushed and had a thick neck, but now that he is a prisoner, no matter how annoyed he is, he can only bear it, "Yuan Gonggong, don't be too happy, the world is still our Liu family's world after all, if you continue to be arrogant, the princes of the world will revolt sooner or later." Attack it."

"Let's fight if they have the ability, and see who is the last one to be afraid of." Yuan Shu smiled recklessly, and became extremely arrogant, "The world is the Liu family's world, not your Liu Chong's world. Do you think His Majesty knows you? After leading the troops to attack the county, will you be punished or me?"

"You!" Liu Chong clenched his fists violently, gritted his teeth and was speechless.

Yuan Shu stayed in the prison for a while, it can be said that he was refreshed, but he was in a good mood. The smell in the prison was really bad, and the people around him were already half-dead. The most important thing this trip has been completed, so there is no need Let yourself suffer again.

A group of people walked out of the prison, and Yang Hong walked a few steps to follow, lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what exactly is King Chen going to do with it?"

They came all the way from Nanyang, not just to run on King Chen, they have already been arrested, so they can't keep in charge, there must be an arrangement whether to kill, keep or release.

Yuan Shu squinted his eyes and looked at the sunset in the sky. He blinked and looked harmless to humans and animals, but the words he said did not match his appearance at all, "Rebellion is a capital crime. A prince who breaks the law is the same crime as the common people, let alone Liu Chong. He is a prince with a criminal record, so of course he will be dealt with according to the law."

He can't remember the exact law, but he still knows that rebellion is a capital crime, "Liu Chong is also a prince, for the sake of their old Liu family's face, at best, add a fig leaf to him, saying that he was fighting when he was begging for thieves." Just die."

Didn’t Liu Dai, the shepherd of Yanzhou, die on the battlefield while fighting with the Heishan bandits not long ago? After two days, let’s see if there are any bandits running around Chen Guo, and then let Zilong lead the troops to encircle and suppress them. It’s a big deal. Time to give credit to Liu Chong, and Zilong of his family will not take credit with a dead man.

Yang Hong nodded to accept the order, winked at Yan Xiang, and then took Zhao Yun to the side to discuss how to operate.

They didn't speak loudly, but they didn't deliberately avoid people. Yuzhou Zhizhong only wished that he didn't have long ears. Is this something he can hear? Not to mention that the partition wall has ears, he is such a big living person standing here, you can't see him afraid to make a sound and just pretend that he doesn't exist.

He wanted to cry but had no tears in the governance of Yuzhou. It took him eight lifetimes of misfortune to become an official in Yuzhou. He knew that Yuzhou would be such a ghost. He would not be recruited by the government even if he was farming at home.

It is said that Yuzhou is a good place. If you don't work here as an official, it is indeed a good place.

Dayu was divided into Kyushu, Luoyang area was Yuzhou, and Yuzhou was the center of the world, but Luoyang City was the capital, and Luoyang was gradually taken out of Yuzhou to form Henan County, which was under the jurisdiction of Sili together with Hedong and Hanoi. Luoyang City It doesn't matter if you don't return to Yuzhou. This place is close to Luoyang, so it has become the first choice for the court to place princes and nobles.

There are only four county-level feudal states. A county with a large population like Runan, because its location is too important and its population is large, any prince or king who distributes it may allow the other party to accumulate strength enough to compete with the imperial court in a short period of time. , so there is no county-level feudal state, but there are sixteen county-level marquis states in Runan.

There are so many clans surnamed Liu in Yuzhou, it is already difficult to govern, but this place not only has clans surnamed Liu, but also gathers the most famous families in the world, the relationship between each family is intricate and affects the whole body, every family has Several of them occupy high positions in the capital, and being an official here is not to be an official, but to be someone's grandson.

If someone commits a crime, the government will go to his house to arrest him. That family happens to be a Situ in the imperial court, and there are many children who are various officials in various places in the Han Dynasty. The net is so big, who dares to arrest people in other people's homes?

This is not arresting people, it is offending a whole family, and it is ruining one's official career.

The young Yuzhou Zhizhong sighed silently. He originally thought that he would resign and return to his hometown as soon as his term of office expired. Now it seems that it is difficult to get out of Qiao County, let alone resigning. Yuan Gonggong let him hear this. Let him pledge his allegiance.

Of course, you can also express your disloyalty, but in that case, he may be the next Chen Wang Liu Chong. After his death, he went to fight against the bandits and fight to the death.

Why is he so miserable?

Speaking of the experience of the current Zhizhong master in Yuzhou, those who listened were sad and those who heard it shed tears. His surname is Pei, his name is Qian, and his character is Wenxing. He was born in the Pei family of Hedong. , but arrived in Luoyang with a lonely courage, and then, he was sent to Yuzhou as a government.

He, Pei Wenxing, has no great skills, but he is considered a talented man. The Pei family in Hedong is not a big family, and it is not difficult to find him an official position. It happened that there was a shortage of people in Yuzhou at that time, and he, a young man who had not been an official for a few years, was on a errand. Yang mistakenly achieved the seat of a state government.

When Emperor Ling re-appointed prefects in various prefectures, Yuzhou was one of the first four prefectures with prefects, and the first Yuzhou pastor was Huang Wan. Before that, the governor of Yuzhou was the current Situ Wangyun.

Wang Inspector Wang was dismissed because he refused to bribe the eunuchs, and he was not restored until He Jin came to power. After more than a year, Yuzhou Mu was transferred back to the capital to serve as Situ.

Huang Wan was transferred back to the capital by Dong Zhuo, and sent Kong Ni to Yuzhou to be the governor. This Kong Ni is only good at talking, and he is blind to political and military affairs. As for why he was able to be the governor, it was only because his reputation spread to Dong Zhuo. In the middle, Dong Zhuo felt that if this person had a good reputation, he would definitely be a good official. Regardless of whether he had previous experience in administration, Dong Zhuo directly let him out and became the top leader of Yuzhou.

These days, the most important thing to be an official is not ability, but reputation. Ju Xiaolian can quickly enter the official career, but the faster way than Ju Xiaolian is to find a famous person to criticize yourself. Things will be stable.

In today's world, the most famous commentary is the Yuedan commentary by the celebrity Xu Shao.

However, this method is only limited to those who are well-connected and have some real skills. After all, celebrities should also cherish their feathers. If the person they criticize is found to have problems in the future, their reputation will also be affected.

Kong Ni is a lucky one who has been judged by celebrities. The celebrity who judged him, Fu Rong, studied in Taixue when he was young. He was a student of Li Ying, one of the "Eight Talents". Li Ying praised him many times and quickly became famous. However, this person is not an official himself, he only recommends others to be officials, and the scholars he has commented on all have smooth official careers without exception.

If the world is peaceful, it’s okay for Kong Ni to be the governor of Yuzhou. If it can’t be held back, the world will be in chaos. The Yellow Turban bandits in Yuzhou are entrenched in Runan and Yingchuan. Everyone has tens of thousands of rebellious troops under their hands, robbing houses and doing everything, and the people of Yuzhou are struggling to survive.

Oh, I forgot to mention that those Yellow Turban thieves don’t have much contact with the Yellow Turban thieves in other states. They only obey Yuan Shu’s orders. , the yellow scarf thief is naturally willing to hang out with him.

In this way, Kong Ni, the governor, is more like a decoration. Not to mention gathering soldiers and horses from various counties in Yuzhou, it is not easy to save his own life. In the end, he did not save his life. , he died in fear.

After that, the governor of Yuzhou became Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng.

Speaking of Sun Jian, Pei Qian was full of complaints, not because he looked down on rough generals, but because Wu Chenghou went too far, even telling others in private that his name was not well chosen.

What's wrong with his name, he called Pei Qian, didn't he lose money, so he asked what's wrong with this name?

Anyway, the Pei family of Hedong is also a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. His name was carefully selected by the elders of the family. No matter how he tasted it, it changed in his mouth. No one thought his name was bad when he grew up. Sun Wentai is educated. No one thinks there is a problem, but he thinks there is a problem. Shouldn't he look for the reason from himself?

Pei Wen couldn't get angry, but he couldn't get angry yet, because Sun Jian was the governor of Yuzhou, and he himself was just a governor. That guy happened to be his superior, so he wouldn't do stupid things like offending the superior.

As state shepherd and governor, the carefully selected cronies are all Biejia, and sometimes they even bring their own Biejia. Compared with Biejia, the position of Zhizhong is a bit embarrassing.

Pei Qian and Huang Wan took office at the same time, it was only a few years in terms of time, but in the past few years, the governors of Yuzhou have been changed one after another, until now there is no state shepherd and no governor, he has been governing There was no movement in the seat.

Huang Wan brought his own Biejia, he can only help Biejia in this administration, Kong Ni brings Biejia, he also doesn't have many secrets in this administration, and when it comes to Sun Jian, most of this guy is surrounded by generals, At that time, he had a good relationship with Yuan Shu, and he always regarded the governor as a general. He was finally able to come in handy as a central government, but he was overwhelmed by the burden of work.

Wars not only test the ability of generals, but also the internal politics of the rear. When he was a striker in the past, he only came into contact with such trivial matters as fighting bandits, and finally he was able to manage things by himself. When he came up, the world would be in chaos. The ability has already gone west like Kong Ni.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave. The question is whether he can leave if he wants to. If the emperor is in Luoyang, he can go directly to the Luoyang Palace to ask the emperor to change his official position. Now the court has moved to Chang'an, so from Qiao County to Chang'an The road is far away, and there are many dangers on the road. When the people he sent go to Chang'an to go through the process, his term of office will be up before the edict comes down.

It's not impossible to just abandon his official position and run away, but it's a bit dangerous. He is timid, and he doesn't have many guards around him, so he really dare not let him run away regardless of his official position.

Yuan Shu was unreasonable, there were prefects and prefects sent by him in all directions, if he was afraid that he would be arrested if he didn't run out of Qiao County, he might as well continue to be his ruler honestly.

Although aggrieved, at least his life is still alive, and since Nanyang changed to a new long history, he no longer receives all kinds of strange orders every three days, and his life is much more comfortable than before.

Prefect Yuan, why don't we maintain the status quo? Why do we have to let him hear such confidential things?

It is obvious that he will leave in half a year. Wouldn't it be nice to let his wife resign and go home? He heard that there is no chaos in Hedong now. As for making him unable to survive after returning to his hometown.

Only half a year, why?

Yuan Shu walked ahead in a happy mood. The sun was about to set, and the heat outside also dropped. The carriage was so stuffy, it was better to ride directly to the government office.

Yan Xiang had a generous smile on his face, "Wen Xing, King Chen was killed in battle, but the Kingdom of Chen can't be messed up. The next thing will have to be hard for you to pay more attention to."

Pei Qian's lips trembled, he clenched his fists and lowered his head without speaking.

Yan Xiang wanted to say something more, but when he turned his head and saw the man with tears streaming down his face, he was surprised, "Why is Wen Xing like this?"

Pei Qian raised his hand to wipe his face, and it was even more uncomfortable to touch the tears on his face. Anyway, he couldn't hide it, so he might as well cry out, "It's okay, I'm just happy with the prefect's reuse, I'm so excited."

After finishing speaking, he hugged the stunned Yan Xiang on the spot and burst into tears.

How could he be so ill-fated?

Yan Xiang:? ? ?

When they came here, they really wanted to let these officials from Yuzhou Fucheng be used by them. This has not yet begun to speak out of emotion and reason, why this person jumped into the pit by himself, ah, no, he surrendered, why this person Have you surrendered yourself?

Yan let Pei Qian hold him like a wooden pole, and his mind turned quickly to recall what happened just now, and realized later that this person didn't know that their master has always acted without scruples, and he might have thought that Chen Wangzhan had been discussed just now. Death is threatening him.

Well, it does sound a bit like a threat.

But he pledged his life. Their lord was really not a threat just now, he was just used to it, and there were no outsiders around, and he felt that their words would not be spread, so he said it directly.

There may have been an outsider just now, but now there is really no outsider. Thinking about it this way, it is not impossible for their master to be so casual.

Yuan Shu stopped bouncing around, touched his head and looked at Pei Qian who was crying with his head in his arms. He wondered if what he saw was true. "Excited, excited?"

No, he used to let people stay by his side to be an official, and people would rather die than submit to be beaten to death than do it. That Ma Rizun almost starved to death in Nanyang. If it wasn't for the people around him, he would really let that old man starve died there.

How long has it passed, and someone is so excited to be able to stay under him as an official and weep bitterly, isn't he dreaming?

No, hurry up and find a place to stay. He wants to write a letter to his eldest brother to make him happy. People like Pei Wenxing are willing to stay under him, and he took the initiative. What does this mean? It means that he has begun to win the hearts of the people!

Big brother woo woo woo woo woo~

My brother is really promising now woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~
