There is no impermeable wall in the world, just like the black mountain thieves who caused trouble in Jizhou blocked the road, but there will still be people who pass through the blockade and come to the relatively safe Youzhou Jixian County. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The death of the first emperor and the quagmire of Luoyang falling into the struggle for power between eunuchs and generals spread more or less in Zhuo County.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept the world five years ago, the puppet emperor Zhang Chun who swept through Hebei two years ago, the Montenegro Rebellion in Jizhou last year, and even the Liaodong melee that has not yet been pacified...... The emperor also died.

These news can't help but lead the people of Youzhou to feel the turmoil and worry of the current situation, is it true that the world is going to fall into chaos again?

But at least, the current western part of Youzhou is still like a paradise under the governance of the new governor Liu Bo'an, a few days ago, Youzhou soldier Cao Xian Yufu led Youzhou soldiers and tried to attack Youzhou The Black Mountain Army thief Zuo Zhangba fought in Dai County and defeated this gang of thieves...... The good news reached Jixian County, and the people rejoiced!

With Liu Gong sitting in Youzhou, even if there is chaos outside, the people can rest assured!

Although Liu Gong has only been the state pastor for one year, it has brought earth-shaking changes to the people of Youzhou. In the past, Youzhou was poor, and the local finances were simply not enough for the expenses of the counties in Youzhou, and the history of the past dynasties needed to rely on the annual financial subsidies of Qingzhou and Jizhou to barely survive.

But now in this situation, the roads are blocked, and Jizhou and Qingzhou are all in chaos, and it is impossible to send money and grain to Youzhou through thousands of miles. However, instead of being more dilapidated, Youzhou thrived because of the repeated administrative measures of the state pastor Liu Bo'an, and in just one year, he reversed poverty, persuaded the people to farm, and obtained income from the open market in Shanggu and foreign trading and mining the salt and iron ore in Yuyang, so that more than 100,000 people from Qingzhou and Xuzhou went into exile here and lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Not only is there peace inside, but even externally, the Xianbei people and Wuhuan who are invincible have sent envoys to pay tribute.

The peace of the western counties of Youzhou seems to make people forget that there are two other imperial generals in Liaodong County who continue to fight in order to defeat the rebels...... This situation lasted until mid-May, when the rout from the direction of Liaodong brought back shocking news.

Zhonglang led Meng Yi to lead his troops to cross the Great Liaoshui, and was defeated by the rebel Yanbei at Qingshi Bridge, and only a few hundred people under his command fled back to ...... Meng Yi is missing? ”

Jixian County Magistrate's Office, wearing a yellow shampoo, Liu Yu, who was over forty years old, knelt on the couch, listened to Qi Zhou read the battle report word by word, and frowned: "Zhonglang will be defeated, alas...... Where is the governor of Gongsun? ”

Gongsun Ji, another person under the seat, arched his hand and said: "Gongsun Dudu pursued Zhang Ju before, and was besieged by Guanzi City last winter, and the soldiers and food were exhausted, and he advanced to recruit troops in Liaoxi, in order to attack the Yan thieves in the east!" ”

"The battles come and go, and they all hurt the lives of my Han people." Speaking of the war, Liu Yu was a little upset, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrow bones to the other person seated: "Wei Zhi, have you seen Yanbei Qiren, is he really as loyal and brave as you say?" ”

"Back to the envoy, although Yanbei and his people are a little vulgar, they are not inferior to the governor of Gongsun and Dudu, and they are also people who know how to repay their kindness. Previously, Yanbei had intended to attach himself to the envoy, but I don't know what was hindering, in the opinion of his subordinates, if the envoy intends to stop the war, it is better for you to send your subordinates to Liaodong again, and your subordinates will bring Yanbei back to the envoy's seat to listen to the order! ”

As soon as Wei You's words fell, Gongsun Ji said with a mocking look on his face: "Wei is engaged, that Yanbei has been a disaster for a long time, and now the soldiers are breaking off the Great Liao River, isn't it the meaning of secession and hegemony?" Envoy, according to the foolish opinion of your subordinates, it is better for you to order to recruit young and strong people in Youzhou, so that Gongsun Dudu will lead the army to the east, and he will be able to defeat the Yan thieves in a battle! ”

As soon as Wei You heard this, his face immediately changed color, and he said angrily: "What does Gongsun mean by this, is it possible that Gong Meng is newly defeated, and he has not shed enough blood?" Since Yanbei intends to be attached, he is not the evil leader, do you insist on forcing him to the troubled Youzhou? ”

"Alright, don't make a noise." Liu Yu squinted his eyes, and the volume of his words was not loud, but it was enough to stop the dispute between the two, and he thought for a moment and said: "What Wei Cheng said makes sense, since Yanbei intends to be attached, then why not fulfill his wish, just let Gongsun Governor go west to quell the rebellion in Jizhou, this is an eventful season, and it is necessary for a battle-hardened general like Gongsun Governor to share the worries of the imperial court, since this is the case, without further ado, Wei Engage will go to Liaodong and see Yanbei again." ”

"But...... Yanbei can be attached, and if he has any requirements, he can also come to Jixian County to talk in detail, but he is not allowed to come with a large army, so as not to frighten the people. In addition, Zhang Ju Zhang Chun's two evil heads cannot be released. ”

"No!" Wei You arched his hands, raised his head and asked, "Envoy, if Yanbei is attached, what official position can the imperial court place him?" ”

The official position is the key, Yanbei is attached rather than surrendered, if there is no suitable official placement, everyone understands that it is difficult to recover his heart. If this is an ordinary thief, it is just a matter of randomly pointing out the official position of a county lieutenant lieutenant, but Yanbei's power is too huge.

With 20,000 soldiers who can fight well, how to place such a bandit leader is a big problem.

"It depends on his talents, and the old man will talk about it after he has seen him...... But you can tell him that if he is really talented and sincerely attached to the court, the old man will personally appear to the court for him, and the official position will never fall into his name. ”

In fact, Liu Yu already has a basic idea in his heart, but he has to wait until he sees Yanbei with his own eyes before making a decision.

The current Youzhou, the most suitable position for Yanbei, is the captain of the guard Karasuma. The silver seal and green ribbon, the two thousand stones supporting the festival, are in charge of appeasing Donghu and receiving the real power of Xianbei.

Liu Yu knew that Yanbei stood out as a Han in the rebellion of the Wuhuan people, and even more so that he led the troops from Youzhou to Liaodong through Xianbei, his reputation among foreign tribes was definitely not low, and he also had military power in his hands to deter Donghu.

……

Zhonglang passed the news of Meng Yi's defeat like crazy weeds in the counties of Youzhou, and also reached the ears of the Zhen family who had just arrived in Zhuo County.

Some people rejoice, others worry.

Among the Zhen family, many people led by the old lady Zhen Zhang preferred to live in Jixian County under the rule of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, while Zhen Yao and Zhen Jiang were more willing to go to Liaodong to find Yanbei according to the wishes of Brother Zhong.

The opinions of the two sides are already at odds, and it has been difficult to communicate, because they have been looking at the news of the eastern Liaodong battlefield in Jixian these days.

In fact, many people have an idea in their hearts, if the Youzhou army wins, they will live here; If Yanbei wins, they will continue to run north...... No one wants to be displaced and then warned.

But now that Yanbei has won, they don't dare to go east again.

In case he is caught in the chaos of the army, wouldn't it be more appropriate to wait for future news in Jixian County?

It's night, and the people in the inn haven't slept yet.

Zhen Yao asked the servant to buy some honey syrup and wine from the market during the day, and knocked on the door with a few dry foods for wine.

The candlelight silhouette on the window, reflecting the silhouette of a desk grinding ink.

"Brother Zijing, can you rest?"

He answered, opened the door in his middle coat, and welcomed Zhen Yao in, and then asked, "Why did you come to me without resting?" ”

Zhen Yao pulled the table and put down the honey wine, then shook his head and sighed: "I am depressed, I don't know what to do, I want to talk to my brother about what to do in the future...... Yanbei? ”

Zhen Yao's eyes glanced at the case table, and he saw a simple map of Youzhou, and a big swallow character on the Liaodong County on the right side of the Great Liaoshui was very conspicuous.

Zhao nodded, pursed his lips and said to Zhen Yao: "It's just right, there are some things that are not clear to brothers, you and I can talk about it...... Have you seen Yanbei, he fought in Jizhou, but did anything that harmed the people? ”

"Absolutely not!" Zhen Yao's head shook like a rattle, and he said after making up his mind: "Yan Jun, what do you say...... Although the army confronted the Han army, he treated the people under his jurisdiction differently from other rebels, he seemed to be obsessed with governing the county, whether it was Zhongshan Wuji City or Handan City of Zhao State, he was in good order when he was there, as if he was not a rebel but a person who led the county order, the county commander, and the county lieutenant. ”

"Haha, I am also the county magistrate...... I value his use of troops more, and he has never had a major defeat in the counties of Jizhou; Diverted to Xianbei for more than 1,000 miles, and the sergeants were never reduced; When he arrived in Liaodong, he defeated Meng Yi in one fell swoop. As he spoke, he frowned, and gently knocked the map with his hand and said to Zhen Yao: "San Lang has ever thought that Yanbei is fighting in Liaodong for? ”

"For what?"

Zhao shook his head and frowned, and gestured with his hand on the desk: "The soldiers to Liaodong are nothing more than two roads, one is to continue to fight against Youzhou, and after defeating Meng Yi, they will attack all the way to the west until they occupy the entire territory of Youzhou." Or, according to the land of Liaodong, as you said, you are obsessed with governance, but if you want to govern the city, it is not better to defend it according to Handan, why go to the poor Liaodong...... The battle fought by Yanbei, watching the advancement of its subordinates, was like a dragon in the clouds, and none of them were defeated. But when you dig into the reason, it's like a fly without a head, going to war for the sake of fighting. ”

"But Brother Xian also said that Yanbei is not a person who arranges into rebellion." Holding hands and ordering a few cases, he asked: "So I want to ask, does San Lang know what Yanbei is fighting for?" ”

Zhen Yao was asked to cover his head, he never thought that there were so many ways for Yanbei to rebel and fight, but he said helplessly: "I'm afraid this kind of thing, we can only know when we see Yan Jun personally speak, and my brother can't know if he asks below." ”

Zhao nodded, raised his eyebrows and asked Zhen Yao, "By the way, don't you have something to ask me?" ”

"By the way, I want to ask my brother, do you think the current situation in Youzhou, between the state capital and Yanbei, which one has a better chance of winning?"

"In the long run, Yanbei will be defeated, even if he uses soldiers like a god, he can't match Liu Youzhou's prestige." He said conclusively: "It's a bit too early to say this, don't be in a hurry, look back, Yanbei will definitely make some moves these days!" ”
