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

When people are busy, time flies, and before they know it, spring will arrive.

Yuan Huan had planned to leave Zhuangzi when the weather warmed up, but unfortunately the sky failed to fulfill his wish. Since the first spring rain fell, the light rain has not stopped.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and too much oil is worthless.

The civil strife in the Central Plains, Jizhou is far away from the battlefield, and it is rare to retain most of its strength in the previous wars. The counties and counties are peaceful.

With strong soldiers and strong horses, man-made disasters can be prevented, but natural disasters cannot be prevented.

Yuan Huan doesn't know much about farming, and he doesn't know how much rain is considered a disaster, but he knows that it must be abnormal to rain for so many days. It is possible to order the counties and counties to check the drainage status of the ditches as soon as possible, and repair the damaged areas immediately, so as not to be unable to respond to natural disasters in time.

There are many streams in Jizhou area. If there is a flood, it will be a big trouble. The food for the relief of refugees must be prepared in advance. The most important thing is that the flood will definitely delay the spring plowing.

Fortunately, they are not short of food now. If there is no food on hand, the people in distress will not be able to resettle, the spring plowing will be delayed, and the next season's harvest will be wiped out.

The ditches and water conservancy projects in Jizhou are all left over from the past. There have been no major projects for many years. We have to pick a suitable time to re-plan the waterways. Fortunately, the infrastructure construction in Yanzhou has been going on for more than half a year. Both prefectures are major grain-producing states. We can support each other even in times of disaster.

A few days ago, Cao Cao sent news from Yanzhou that he wanted to set up the post of Lieutenant of Diannong. When he didn't pay attention, Boss Cao didn't have Xun Yu by his side, and gradually there were great counselors who went to him. Yanzhou is located in the Central Plains, and he If the celebrities under the rule want to do something, the first choice is naturally the governor of this state.

These days, as long as the temperament of the immediate boss is reasonable, not many people are willing to travel thousands of miles to make a living elsewhere.

Parents are here, not far away, people are nostalgic for their homeland, when the court is strong, young people are motivated and want to make achievements, the first choice is naturally the capital, but even so, when the momentum passes, they will return to their roots.

Now that the imperial court is in decline, all states and counties and even several counties and hills unite to raise a banner and stand on their own. The first choice for people with lofty ideals to make contributions has changed from the capital to the vicinity of their hometown.

Cheng Yu is a great talent, and the Zhuge family is also a great talent, especially the young Erlang Zhuge Liang of the Zhuge family, who can not be envious after seeing him?

Hexagonal warriors are hard to come by, now that Prime Minister Zhuge is still young, he can stay with his family in Taishan County, and when he grows up in a few years, he will find a way to coax him over.

Boss Cao has a lot of resentment for not being able to meet his family during the Chinese New Year. Not only did he write a large pile of letters at home, but also a thick pile of letters to him. The debriefing report is not like a debriefing report, and the family letter is not like a family letter. .

Fortunately, he wrote love poems without a word of disagreement. He knew that Cao Mengde had a good literary talent, which can be used to attract talents, so he didn't have to waste so much thought here, really.

The situation in Yanzhou will be sent to Zhongshan every few days, and there is not much written in the letter. Instead, it secretly pokes at Yin and Yang and scolds the aristocratic family in Yanzhou. The imperial court who sent people to Yanzhou to fight the autumn wind counted one by one, and they all complained in the letter.

No one in the imperial court or the Yanzhou family could embarrass Cao Cao to such an extent.

Boss Cao now has the backing of Jizhou, and his mentality is much better than at this time in history. At least when he was scolded, he didn't directly pull people out and chop him up, but wrote letters to complain in his heart, which is very good.

The aristocratic family is a double-edged sword. When you support him, you can push him very high. Once the blades are facing each other, you can immediately throw him down. Don’t you see that Cao Cao only killed one side in history, so that the family in Yanzhou and the centrifugal Turned against each other, almost got by the aristocratic family headed by Chen Gong, so there was not even a place to stay.

Don't give up, don't give up, like Bian Rang's uncontrollable famous scholars, don't give up, use some small tricks to divert trouble, and get him to another place, so that his ears are clean.

If you don’t stay in Yanzhou, it’s better to come to Jizhou. The Yecheng Library welcomes all kinds of weird and difficult celebrities. It’s not a problem if you don’t know how to get along with people, you just need to know how to get along with books.

Yuan Huan read Cao Cao's letter page by page, and sent the reply letter to Changyi, Yanzhou on the same day. The building is filled with all kinds of classics, and they can accept as many as they come.

Cao Cao received the reply: ...

Although, in fact, not so many people offended him.

No matter what he said, he was also the Yanzhou Shepherd appointed by the imperial court. He led the troops to resist the Black Mountain bandits and rescued the people of Yanzhou from the fire and water. Even if there is a conflict, the people will not stand on their side.

It's just trying to let that kind of arrogant guy not take him seriously, it's just grandstanding and making fun of him. How can a man as generous as Cao Mengde take such a small matter to heart.

Since those guys can catch the eyes of the elder brother, then listen to the elder brother and find a way to let them work for the elder brother, so as not to stay in Yanzhou to be annoying.

The Taishan bandits were put down, Zang Ba and Sun Guan turned those bandit leaders into officers and soldiers. Tao Qian knew that those people were very angry after accepting the official position in Yanzhou. Bing came to Taishan County to question Zang Ba and others in person.

He also gave officials and food at that time. I don’t know how much richer the land in Xuzhou is than Yanzhou. Why did you choose Yanzhou instead of Xuzhou?

Xuzhou and Qingzhou do not seem to pose a threat to Yanzhou and Jizhou, but there is no absolute and cannot be taken lightly. The location of Taishan County is just between Qingzhou and Xuzhou. It is very necessary to deploy Taishan to resist Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

After Zang Ba and Zhuge Xuan took office, Yuan Huan sent Tai Shici, who had just been with him, to Taishan County. Zang Ba knew Taishan and Xuzhou very well. Famous, they all have the experience of offending the government and fleeing, and their cooperation in guarding is enough to turn the defense line of Mount Tai into an impregnable wall.

Tai Shici is stable and capable, while Zang Ba has a violent temper. If the two get into a dispute, Tai Shici's personality will not directly start a fight. If there is no accident, the two of them should get along.

Before the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou rebelled, Kong Rongjiao and the city gate caught fire and Taishici, a pond fish, was seen by the people in the world. Jizhou was also slipped around. Yuan Huan didn't want to send troops to retaliate. Qingzhou was in chaos. He didn't want to waste time and effort to intervene in the affairs there, but it was impossible for him to suffer in vain.

If his temper is too soft, anyone can pinch him as a soft persimmon.

The original boss didn't do anything himself, but provided Tai Shici with enough money and food to go back to his hometown in Donglai County to recruit soldiers. Of course, it would be even better if he could also recruit some people in the neighboring Beihai country.

After recruiting, all of them were taken to Taishan County to train with the soldiers of Taishan County, as many recruits as they could be recruited, and enough money and food.

As soon as these words came out, not only Tai Shi Ci was excited, Zhang Liao Gao Shun was also envious.

The two of them had nothing when they recruited soldiers. Gao Shun was fine, he had the help of his family, and there were many people in his family. Zhang Liao was miserable. He was ordered by General He Jin to recruit troops in the Jizhou area. With a single mouth, less than 2000 people were obtained after abolishing the strength of the old nose.

Now that Qingzhou is in such a mess, if the money is "sufficient for food and money", the recruits still need as many as they want. Why didn't such a good thing happen to them?

Tai Shici's excited eyes lit up, fearing that their lord would change his mind, and after repeatedly confirming that no matter how many people he recruited, he could manage enough money and food, so he rushed back to Donglai County overnight to recruit troops.

He does not have an official position in Qingzhou. Kong Rong took good care of his mother, and he repaid the past by breaking the siege of Beihai.

After all, Tai Shi Ziyi remained young and energetic. Although he didn't say anything, he still felt a little resentful towards Kong Rongjiao and the two of them in his heart. He managed to poke their lung tubes with great difficulty, and he worked very hard to recruit soldiers.

From Donglai County near the sea to Beihai State, Le'an State, Jinan State, Qi State, and the six counties of Qingzhou, except for Liu Bei's Pingyuan State, the other five counties were all swept away by him.

The yellow turban bandits burned, killed and looted, but they can't guarantee that they can eat enough every day. If soldiers can eat enough, who will be a thief?

Taishi Ziyi's reputation is well known to all women and children in Qingzhou, so many people are willing to follow him, they are no longer yellow scarves, and they have to serve as soldiers for crimes and meritorious deeds.

In troubled times, the word "management and fullness" is more useful than gold, and Tai Shici is also a ruthless person. Their lord says that money and food are enough, so he dares to come. In just two months, he just went straight to Qingzhou took away 15 young and strong.

15 young and strong were taken away, leaving only old and weak women and children in Qingzhou.

When the news came back to Zhongshan, everyone including Yuan Huan was dumbfounded.

Gao Shun: "It's a talent."

Lu Bu: "It's a good thing we have a lot of food, thanks to the old thief Dong Zhuo, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to support so many people."

Zhang Liao: "My lord, is there still time for me to go back to my hometown in Bingzhou to recruit soldiers and horses? Yellow turban thieves can't fight, we Bingzhou Erlang are the best soldiers to fight."

Yuan Huan: ...

Oh, dismissed.

Boss Cao collected millions of Qingzhou yellow scarves, of which only 30 were young and strong soldiers, and this next move will be 15. Excluding the original soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, there is really only an empty shell left.

15 young and strong soldiers are a surprise for Yanzhou and Jizhou, but a disaster for Qingzhou. There are no strong men in ordinary people's homes who can survive, and soldiers will find ways to send them home when they get rewards. As far as the common people are concerned, they are soldiers wherever they are. Since they must join the army, they naturally go to places with good conditions.

If the people are not young and strong, there will be no soldiers in counties and counties, and there will be no soldiers in counties and counties. The existence of government offices is just for decoration. The word "management and fullness" is too powerful. The soldiers sneaked over.

In short, under Tai Shici's coquettish operation, the governor was anxious and vomited three liters of blood, and refused to stop lingering on the sick bed, so he was carried to Kong Rong's house and yelled at him.

——Kong Wenju hurt me!

The sky is bright and the air is clear, the Huifeng is smooth, and the warm spring sun shines on the earth, making the world peaceful.

Yuan Huan's body can't rush on the road, and the few families who are going to leave with him in the farm have women and children. It's not easy to toss about, and the paper of the letter should not be exposed to the rain. More than half a month later than originally scheduled.

The long convoy walked slowly on the well-repaired official road, and the soldiers guarding the convoy had stern faces and prohibited orders, and the decisive momentum of killing could tell at a glance that they were elite soldiers killed on the battlefield.

Lu Bu and Gao Shun led the troops to Yecheng in advance, while Zhang Liao and Sun Ce stayed behind to guard the convoy. There were sick patients and children, so the speed of the carriage could only be slow but not fast, even if it was sure that there would be no bandits and robbers who slipped through the road. , there should be no less guards and followers.

Jizhou Mu was half a year late and finally went to Yecheng to sit in town. The new official took office three times. Even though this official is not new, all the counties and counties began to worry.

After Yuan Shao drove Han Fu away to become Shangzhou Shepherd, the first thing he did was to summon the prefects and ministers of the counties. Everything is going on as usual, and they can't see their superiors, how can they be officials with peace of mind?

Their Xinzhou shepherd's surname and original name Huan are written on official documents. Everyone knows his real identity, which can make Yuan Benchu ​​hide in Bingzhou in desperation. Except for Yuan Ji and Yuan Shiji, even the emperor dare not say that he is himself. can do it.

The new Jizhou Mu who was actually the lord of the Yuan family but was named Yuan Huan was rewarded by the imperial court shortly after the year with the titles of Marquis of Guangping, Three Hundred Households of Shiyi, and Three Divisions of Yitong.

But even if the imperial court does not follow this decree, no one dares to underestimate him.

The name Yuan Huan is indeed unknown. With this name alone, no matter how much the court can promote him, it will be useless. However, he has never concealed the fact that he is Yuan Shiji. With the name of the Yuan family in Runan, who can Also dare not act rashly.

The imperial court added the title of Shiyi to this name, which is to cover up the world. There are already more than a thousand households in the Shiyi under the name of Yuan's Yuan Ji in Runan. It makes no difference to others whether there are three hundred households in Guangping .

Zhou Mu controls the military administration of a state, so he could open a government and recruit subordinates. Now that the imperial court is in decline, Ji Zhou Mu holds great power. If people want to change a few prefects, they don't need to consider the imperial court's opinion. After the replacement, let people go to the imperial court to inform For the sake of the court's face, the court would not dare to find fault with him without notifying the court.

The government offices at all levels in Jizhou have no way to deal with this Xinzhou Mu who does not play cards according to common sense. The opponent is a Shangguan. Their status and family background make them only look up to them. They can take the initiative to attack others. They really don’t have the courage to stab this fire.

There has been no movement from Yuan Huan, and the affairs of the state and county have been sent to Yecheng as usual. The government offices at all levels are staring at the reaction of Yecheng. Looking at the people in Yecheng, it seems that the state shepherd has changed or not changed, and his heart starts to beat again.

It stands to reason that it is normal for county officials to live in peace.

Anyway, the state shepherds are all from the Yuan family in Runan, and Yuan Shao's position as the state shepherd was not upright before, but now the head of the Yuan family is appointed by the imperial court, Sikong Yang Biao, in person in Jizhou, which is more legitimate than Yuan Shao.

However, the prime ministers of the prefects and counties in Jizhou who couldn't hold back were not so peaceful, and even flirted with the surrounding states. If the new state shepherds summoned them after taking over, they would follow suit and serve as loyalty, and the matter would be over, but the new Jizhou shepherds No.

The less there is any movement above, the more flustered the bottom will be. If it is true that you don't know anything, it's okay, I'm afraid that that person wants to settle accounts after the fall.

The Yuan family in Runan has the best hands and eyes, and their disciples and old officials are all over the world. Somebody appeared out of nowhere and received the favor of the Yuan family. They were able to hide the truth from the court, but they were not sure to hide it from Yuan Huan.

They didn't worry about being wrong, the original boss really wanted to settle accounts after the fall.

He wants to use Jizhou as his base, and he will never tolerate backstabbing by his subordinates. In history, Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou and conspired to rebel in Yanzhou. No matter how strong the combat power is, it is empty.

Things like being stolen from a house cannot happen, and all possibilities must be eliminated from the source.

Jizhou is rich, and the prefects and ministers of all counties and states have at least the same skills and family background, otherwise they would not be able to get such a fat job. Before Han Fu became the shepherd of Jizhou, the governor of Jizhou was one of the "eight chefs" celebrities Wang Fen.

The chef is also a celebrity who saves the world with his wealth.

During the Huanling period, Qingliu celebrities were affected by the disaster of the party and hid everywhere. Wang Fen was also included in the list. Later, Emperor Ling set off the second disaster of the party and persecuted the great Confucian Qingliu. Wang Fen had to flee again until the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. He was appointed as the governor of Jizhou.

Emperor Huandi Lingdi persecuted scholars wantonly, and these people who were appointed later had almost negative favorability with the royal family. Wang Fen had quite a lot of political achievements in Jizhou, but he really had no respect for the emperor, and soon he conspired with others to abolish Emperor Ling Another new king was established, but after the incident was revealed, he committed suicide.

The situation of the counties and counties in Jizhou doing their own things started after Wang Fen's death. The governor of a state conspired with others to abolish the establishment, and the court was furious.

The prefect of the state governs the state and county, and will not allow the court to do anything in order to protect himself. In this way, the deterrent force of the court among the people is getting smaller and smaller.

Later, Han Fu served as the governor of the state, and he did nothing according to the rules. After Yuan Shao drove Han Fu away, he really wanted to replace all the county magistrates with his own people. He was sent to Bingzhou again.

The state shepherds at the top changed every once in a while, and the prefects of the counties in Jizhou just wanted to watch the fun. Anyway, as long as they didn't stand out, they would be fine. No matter how hard the top beat them, it didn't matter to them.

They never expected that after Yuan Shao left, the newcomer would be so troublesome.

The invitation for the visit was sent to the Yecheng government office, and it was sent back politely within a few days. The Yuan Mansion in Zhongshan was heavily guarded, and the entire Anguo County was guarded by heavy soldiers. Even if you wanted to send the invitation, you couldn’t even send it in, let alone go in person. visit.

One day or two is okay, it has been more than half a year now, what does Zhou Mu want to do if he hasn't seen them yet?

Officials in Jizhou counties are not fools if they can sit on the Diaoyutai under the condition that the state herdsmen have changed one crop after another. That's the patriarch of the Yuan family in Runan, how could he think so.

They think that their connections with surrounding states and counties are very concealed on weekdays, but no matter how confident they are, they dare not feel that their work is perfect in front of that person.

It is easy to hide it from the court, but it is almost impossible to hide it from Yuan's eyes and ears.

Known dangers are not scary, the most terrifying thing is always the unknown. After finally waiting for Zhoumu to arrive in Yecheng, no one dares to lag behind others.

Yuan Huan left so many soldiers to guard the road along the way, not against bandits, but those eunuchs who were eager to find him to surrender.

General Lu Da's Fang Tian painting halberd was merciless, and even if there was a fish that escaped the net that he swept away, he would not dare to show up again. Compared with the money that might be spent, life is obviously more important.

The things that needed to be transported from the Yuan Mansion to Yecheng arrived one after another a few days ago, and even the books and slips that could not be exposed to the rain were all sent to the Zangshu Pavilion that had been built and decorated. This new Jizhou shepherd who had never shown his face in Yecheng Finally arrived under the anxious anticipation of all parties. When the convoy arrived at the gate of the city, the whole city of Ye was boiling.

It has nothing to do with the common people, only the government offices at all levels are boiling.

Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon can be regarded as looking forward to people.

Lu Wenhou led his own soldiers to greet him at the city gate with a murderous look. The carriage blocked not far from the city gate saw that the situation was wrong and left in despair.

The carriage was escorted by the soldiers all the way to the mansion prepared in advance. Lu Bu and Gao Shun stayed outside, and the carriage went directly into the main courtyard. Yuan Huan lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and saw a mansion that was far from what he had imagined. fell silent.

Zhang Liao rubbed his arms and took a step back, turned to look at Sun Ce, "Is this a house we can enter?"

Sun Ce shook his head stupidly, "I don't know, I dare not enter, do you dare?"

He grew up so big, he had never seen such a luxurious mansion, did he bring all the treasures from all over the world here?

Yuan Huan rested his forehead with one hand, and said weakly, "Where's Yuan Shu?"

Don't ask him why he asks this, if this house does not have Yuan Shu's handwriting, he will invite Yuan Benchu ​​back to continue to be the Jizhou shepherd.

"Here, here." Behind the golden pillars, Yuan Gonggong, who had sneaked over to help his elder brother decorate the residence, ran out when he heard this, teary and moved, "How does elder brother know that I am here?"

Woohoo, he knew that his elder brother had him in his heart.
