In Chang'an City, the lanterns are colorful, and the festive atmosphere of the festival is very strong.

Chen Xu leaned against the big tree in the courtyard and muttered to himself: "The seventh year of Yuanxing has arrived, and after this battle, the princes should no longer have the ability to forge ahead." ”

"It's just a pity that Xiaozhi and Zhang Ren."

Fa Zheng is very young, and Chen Xu still wants to let Fa Zheng assist Chen Zheng after a hundred years.

Unexpectedly, Fa Zheng did not escape the fate of a short life after all.

"Lord!"

When Chen Xu was secretly sad, he suddenly heard Dian Wei's voice and couldn't help but turn his head around.

"What did my brother call me?"

Dian Wei said: "Your Majesty has agreed to the matter of the lord's performance, and issued an edict to posthumously seal Fa Zheng as the Marquis of Wing, and posthumously seal Zhang Ren as the Marquis of Zhongyi, and the titles of the two will be inherited by their eldest son." ”

Hearing Dian Wei's words, Chen Xu's face soothed a lot.

The deceased is gone, and life is so fragile in this troubled world.

Chen Xu can't let the two come back to life, he can only fight for their benefits, so that their descendants can inherit this glory.

Therefore, not long after returning to Chang'an, Chen Xu made a statement to the Son of Heaven and asked to canonize the two as the Marquis of Wing and the Marquis of Zhongyi.

Chen Xu nodded and said, "Be kind to their descendants, if there are talented people among them who want to become famous, you can open the door to them." ”

"After being a loyal minister, you should be able to get the compensation you deserve."

Dian Wei responded with a bang, and immediately went down to convey the order.

After seeing Dian Wei leave, Chen Xu called Wu Xun again and said, "Ah Xun has been training beside me for a long time, and it's time to lead the army alone." ”

"Now that the fighting has ceased, I am afraid that there will be no more sword soldiers in a few years, and you can just take over a group of men and horses, so as to establish yourself among these people."

Wu Xun's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The last general is willing to stay by the lord's side forever as a personal soldier." ”

Chen Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, stroked his back and said, "Wouldn't it be a bit condescending to let you serve as a personal soldier all the time?" I've watched you grow up, and I know what you're capable of, and there's absolutely no problem in commanding an army. ”

"Ah Xun Mo wants to postpone it any longer, leave here tomorrow and go to lead the troops to exercise."

Wu Xun wanted to say something more, but he also knew Chen Xu's character, so in the end he could only be silent, but there was reluctance in his eyes.

Chen Xu took his hand and said with a smile: "It's not that you can't see me anymore, why do you show such a childish posture?" ”

Wu Xun choked up a little and said, "I'm worried about the danger of the Lord's safety. ”

Chen Xu glanced at Wu Xun with relief and said, "How many people in the world can kill me?" What's more, with the protection of Brother Guofu, Ah Xun doesn't have to worry about my safety at all. ”

Wu Xun didn't continue to act as a pro-soldier in the end, this is the child he watched grow up, Chen Xu couldn't let Wu Xun be buried all the time.

After the Chinese New Year, Guanzhong was busy again, and Guan Chinese was also a little anxious.

Although in the previous war, the Guanzhong army defeated several princes, and its own casualties were not small, especially in Yizhou.

With Yizhou's current military strength, it is impossible to control the overall situation at all, and it must be re-recruited.

It's just that Sima Yi used a strategy at the beginning, leaving nearly 50,000 Jingzhou troops, and many Jingzhou soldiers surrendered for food.

If these people don't settle down well, it will be a big problem.

On the contrary, if they can be successfully brainwashed, Yizhou can easily get 50,000 soldiers.

Fortunately, there is Sima Yi in Yizhou, and Chen Xu is not too worried, I believe that after this battle, Sima Yi has slowly grown up and is completely able to take charge of himself.

In addition, those people who migrated from Yanzhou are now also anxious about Chen Qun.

In order to settle the people this winter, the government spent too much money, and the money and food in the government treasury were a little stretched.

The most important thing is that these people did not migrate voluntarily, and they did not have much support for Chen Xu, but they had some hatred in their hearts.

Many people don't appreciate the Guanzhong policy, which can't help but make it more difficult for Chen Qun to settle the people, and it has risen several notches.

If the people can't be brought to their hearts, I'm afraid that these people will not only not become the help of Guanzhong, but will become the source of chaos.

On this day, Chen Qun came to meet Chen Xu and said: "There are too many people who have been plundered by the lord, although the two counties of Yin and Hanoi in Henan can barely settle them, the fields will also be a little nervous. ”

"The most important thing is that the people in these two counties almost don't support the lord very much, if someone is secretly instigating, I am afraid it will be a big mistake."

"It is foolish to think that these people should be dispersed and relocated to other counties, so that they can be quickly integrated, but also divide them, and the possibility of causing trouble will be much smaller."

Chen Qun's idea was simple.

The people under Chen Xu are very supportive of the government, and if these captive people are scattered to various places.

When they hear the praise of the government from other people, it is easy for them to have a good impression of the government in a subtle way.

Moreover, if the people are separated, even if some people are not pure-minded, it is impossible to make trouble.

Chen Xu frowned when he heard this, and said: "In this way, the second migration of the people will not only make them complain, but I am afraid that it will also consume more money and food." ”

"Although Guanzhong has a lot of family resources over the years, he can't withstand such consumption."

The people had just migrated to these two county towns, and although they had not yet settled down completely, they had more or less a place to settle.

The re-migration will surely cause panic among the people.

As for the cost of re-migration, it is definitely an astronomical amount, and it has to be worried.

Chen Qun said: "Long pain is better than short pain, if the lord gathers all these people in Hanoi County and Henan Yin, it will be absolutely impossible to get their support without five years." ”

"And it must be guaranteed that within five years, these people will be given good policies, and they will not be instigated to make trouble, so that it is possible to convert these people."

"Now that the princes are rising together, changing with each passing day, how many years have the lord squandered for five years? If these people could not be completely converted quickly, how could they have the spare strength to attack the rest of the princes? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Qun's face turned grim and said, "Scattering these people now, although it will cause their resistance in the short term, this resistance will not be higher than when they were taken captive. ”

"Even if it will consume a lot of money and food, as long as they can integrate into Guanzhong as soon as possible, what is the money and food consumed?"

Chen Qun is well-versed in internal affairs and knows very well the importance of population.

Money and grain can be recreated and produced, population is the foundation of a prince, although there is not much money and grain left in Guanzhong, but as long as it is squeezed, it can still be taken out after all.

Chen Xu pondered for a long time when he heard this, and then he made up his mind and said, "This matter is fully handed over to my brother." ”

After Chen Qun got the reply, he didn't stay too long, and immediately left in a hurry, and the whole Guanzhong was boiling again.

Seeing Chen Qun leave, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

For Guanzhong, Chen Qun can be said to be dedicated, if it was replaced by someone else, he would never do such a thankless thing.

Not to mention that after the two sides recognized each other, Chen Qun also belonged to the Chen family, so he naturally tried his best to consider Chen Xu.

Guan Zhongqiang, Chen Xuqiang, Chen Xuqiang, Chen Shixing.

Compared with Chen Xu, Chen Qun, a native of the Han Dynasty, has a stronger affection for the clan.

At this point, Guanzhong began to develop production, pacify the people, recruit troops, and train soldiers, and did not dare to relax at all.

Although within a few years, Guanzhong will not be able to launch another large-scale war, but it will not hinder Guanzhong's enthusiasm for preparing for war.

Just when the entire Guanzhong was in full swing and engaged in the development of internal affairs, a piece of news came from the north, but it shocked everyone's hearts.

However, it was said that at that time, the war crisis in Yizhou was in crisis, and Chen Xu had to give up the good situation and withdraw troops from Yuzhou to prepare to rush to aid Yizhou.

At that time, Chen Gong, who was originally eyeing Yuan Tan to contain him, also led Wang Yan and Zhang Liao to retreat, and only Yuan Shang and Wuhuan continued to fight with Fu Zhu.

The reason why Chen Gong retreated was because he felt that Yuan Shang had already occupied the entire Youzhou, and with the help of Feng Ji and Xian Jie, even if he could not defeat Yuan Tan, he could stalemate for a long time.

Using Yuan Shang to contain Yuan Tan and consume Jizhou's strength is exactly the strategy set by Chen Xu.

Now that this strategic goal has been achieved, Chen Gong will naturally no longer spend money and grain, and is ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

In fact, after Yuan Tan withdrew his troops and returned to Jizhou, he had several confrontations with Yuan Shang, and although he had the upper hand each time, he was never able to defeat Yuan Shang.

The battle situation between the two sides has also fallen into a stalemate, which is exactly what Chen Gong is happy to see.

It's just that what Chen Gong didn't expect was that in just half a month, Youzhou was surging, and the rapid changes made Chen Gong feel as if he was living in a dream.

It turned out that when Yuan Tan was attacking Yuan for a long time, he suggested to Yuan Tan that he should recruit and demote the two of them.

When Yuan Tan heard this suggestion, he naturally refused.

Let's not talk about whether or not these two people can be recruited, just because they betrayed themselves, Yuan Tan will definitely not take in the two again.

It was only after repeated admonitions, and knowing the stakes, and Xu You's support, that Yuan Tan changed his mind.

After getting Yuan Tan's permission, Fu Zhu still did not give up, but asked Yuan Tan to promise that when the two surrendered, not only could they not embarrass them, but they would reuse them.

Yuan Tan also knew that Jizhou was in turmoil now, and his power had weakened a lot compared to before, so although he was unwilling, he finally agreed.

It's just that Yuan Tan doesn't think that Fu Zhu and Xu You can persuade the two to surrender.

But what Yuan Tan didn't expect was that Fu Zhu and Xu Yu dressed up in disguise and ventured to Yuan Shangying to lobby for trial and discipline, and they actually succeeded.

Although there were contradictions in the past, they had already shook hands and made peace, and the relationship was very close.

Xu You and Feng Ji are fellow villagers, both from Nanyang, Jingzhou, and their personal relationship is also very good.

When the judge learned that the deceased had come to visit, he felt a little inexplicable, but when he saw the frustration, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The trial almost directly arrested Fu Zhu, and then dedicated it to Yuan Shang, but because of the friendship in the past, he didn't do that.

The judge took his subordinates away, and immediately asked: "Why is Gonghe so bold and dares to enter the camp alone, aren't you afraid that I will catch you and sacrifice you to the third prince?" ”

Hearing the judge's address to Yuan Shang, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and said, "I know that Zhengnan is a person, so I dare to come alone." ”

Seeing that Fu Zhu had a determined face, the judge only smiled bitterly a few times and asked, "What is the matter with Gong and here?" ”

Frustrated, he immediately said: "Can you know the situation in the south due south?" ”

The judge said: "The public and the trial say." ”

"Chen Wenzhao captured almost the entire Yanzhou, plundered the population in Yanzhou, and later killed two generals of the Cao army, which was terrifying. ”

"Not only that, but his son Chen Zheng killed Pang Shiyuan and Zhang Yide in Yizhou, and the 80,000 Jingzhou army was almost completely lost."

Speaking of this, Fu Zhu's face was very solemn, and he said, "Zhengnan knows, what does this mean?" ”

The judge was silent for a long time, and said: "Chen Wenzhao has achieved the general trend, and it is difficult for the princes to resist. ”

Fu Zhu sighed deeply and said, "I know that after the lord inherited Jizhou, because the previous things were prejudiced against Zhengnanpo. ”

"It's just that I know that Zhengnan is loyal to the Yuan clan and absolutely does not want to see the Yuan clan destroyed."

"Chen Wenzhao split Jizhou, which made the lord and the third prince constantly suffer from internal friction, and this simple strategy Zhengnan will not be incomprehensible."

"I also know that Zhengnan defected to the third son, which was really a helpless move."

"But did Zhengnan ever think that if it continues to be consumed like this, there is no need for Chen Wenzhao to send troops, Jizhou will collapse sooner or later, and the foundation of the Yuan family left by the old lord will also collapse."

"Could it be that this situation is the result that Jeongnam wants to see?"

The judge was silent when he heard this, but his face showed pain and struggle.

Seeing this, he was overjoyed, and continued to strike while the iron was hot and said: "The lord has experienced the Yanzhou war, and he has matured a lot, and he knows that Jizhou is weak today. ”

"The two of you left to help the third son, and instead of resentment, the lord felt guilty."

"The lord once told me, if it weren't for his own reasons, how could he let Zhengnan and Yuantu leave?"

Subsequently, the frustration was even more emotional, reasonable, and lured, and finally said that he was moved to judge.

In fact, the reason why Fu Zhu was able to succeed was because he was loyal to the Yuan clan, and he also knew that if he continued to stalemate like this, the Yuan clan would perish sooner or later.

And during this time, Yuan Shang's actions also made the trial a little disappointed.

After struggling again and again, the trial finally made up his mind and was ready to defect to Yuan Tan again to help Yuan Shang keep the foundation of Jizhou.

On Xu You's side, because of the personal relationship between the two, coupled with Yuan Tan's promise, it was easier to persuade Feng Ji.

In this way, the two of them temporarily rebelled against the water, and directly designed in a war, so that Yuan Tansheng captured Yuan Shang, and the Wuhuan cavalry also fled back to the east of Youzhou.

As for Guo Tu and Ju Yi, they were killed in the battle.

It's just that the two of them asked Yuan Tan to leave Yuan Shang's life, although Yuan Tan was unwilling, he didn't dare to chill the hearts of the two anymore.

After Yuan Shang was captured, Youzhou was quickly pacified by Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan also kept his promise and began to reuse the trial and discipline.

As for Yuan Shang, after Youzhou was occupied by Yuan Tan, he killed himself. Of course, the real cause of Yuan Shang's death is unknown.
