Chapter 3 Whipping the Seas

"Brother-in-law, if the marquis is a relative, it is just a matter of being an auxiliary general. That Zhong Yuan often said that you in Hanoi, I have heard it. Zhen Yao pursed his lips and took a sip of warm sake, obviously dissatisfied with this appointment, "You still ask for Guangluxun for him?" ”

Almost a decade has passed, Yan Bei privately discussed with Fu Wan, and the next day he entered the palace to the emperor to express the Fu Guo general, hoping that he could preside over the auxiliary government of China and the DPRK with him, the emperor was very interested in this appointment, and agreed at that time.

At this point, there are now several servants of Liu Ai who assist the emperor in the court, and the auxiliary government is Yanbei and Fuwan, plus Liu Bao, the imperial uncle who has no official position but holds the left and right of the Xiongnu.

"He doesn't do Guangluxun, how do you do it in the imperial history?"

Yan Bei didn't care, but Yan Dong, who stretched out his hands and roasted on the wine stove, nodded when he heard this: "Brother is doing the right thing, if you want to do great things, you can't make too many enemies." Everyone in the world is invincible, but all the princes in the world want to get rid of him, where is the invincible in the world? If the elder brother can teach the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee to do what the elder brother wants, he will be invincible in the world. ”

Yan Dong and Lu Lingqi's marriage was decided, and in late April, he came from the north to marry the Lu family. Now Yan Dong has succeeded Yanbei as the state pastor in Youzhou, and most of the governors of the state and county are the old men of the Yan family in the past, and there is not much resistance.

In fact, there is no need to do much in Youzhou now, the matter of building roads and bridges in a few years because of the transportation back and forth, in the hands of the three generations of Fu Zhu, Xun Yue, and Yandong to do a thorough, at present, the Youzhou Thorn History Department is the most convenient state in the whole world, not only ten miles and a pavilion, but also every fifteen miles in the east, and the riders rushed from the host city to Zhuo County, thousands of miles away, just four or five days.

The land and household registration tend to be saturated, the development of handicrafts and animal husbandry is very good, and the land tax, which used to be the mainstay of taxation because of tuntian, is still very high, but the proportion has gradually been equaled by vehicles, ships and tariffs.

In the past, the county was divided into two systems, and the Youdong Tian Soldier and the Youxi County National Soldier were also merged into one, and the soldiers thrived in the local area with the national policy of farming and warfare, and only a few hundred county soldiers who guarded the pass could be seen scattered in the county in peacetime, and there seemed to be nothing special except for the people who were martial. But when the beacon burns with smoke, a county can draw out tens of thousands of self-prepared soldiers and soldiers to fight under the command of the captain.

"San Lang is invincible in the world, it's very good!" Yan Bei was very happy when he heard Yan Dong say this, just when Zhen Dao came to serve tea, after a while, Yan Bei said to Yan Dong: "When you go back after the marriage this time, take Zhang Wenyuan away, he is a good general who can rush and fight." Youzhou has been recuperating for a long time, and now that Xianbei in the east is attached, Ayi can prepare a coup d'Γ©tat in Goguryeo, and when he becomes the general of the Yan clan, he will be transferred back to the Central Plains. ”

Speaking of Yanbei, Wang Yi had been in a foreign country for seven or eight years, and he planned to make Wang Yifu the new king of Goguryeo, further encroaching on the influence of the past Goguryeo nobles in that land.

"Is it a coup d'Γ©tat now?"

Yan Bei shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not early, both Zijing and Sima Boda are not just too guarded talents, especially Zijing has been in Lelang for too long." San Lang, you have to be more determined to forge ahead, the Yan family has worked hard in the north for nearly ten years, not just for the comfort of the people of Youzhou. No matter how much money, food, and armor you have, it is useless waste to accumulate in the treasury, and even if you accumulate more wealth for the state and county, the successor can be corrupted and cleaned up as long as he produces a waste, and only merit will last forever. There are still many things that can be done in Youzhou, and there are many things that you have to do as a state pastor. ”

"It's been a long time since Goguryeo rebelled against the Han Dynasty, so let Ayi's similar Dajia pretend to rebel against their king, and attract those who are opposed, and you will be able to lead your troops into Goguryeo, purge everyone who opposes you, depose Baqi, make his son king, and send him back to Yedu, with Ayi as the acting king. and then attack Buyeo in the north, over the years, Buyeo and Goguryeo have had internal friction, we are getting stronger and stronger, they are not the opponent of Youzhou; After doing this, you can cut off your worries, and you can build a city outside the fortress and expand your territory. ”

Yan Dong nodded slowly, he knew that this was actually his brother's achievement, just like planting the jujube tree in the early years, he always took care of it, and now it is time to pick. He asked, "Won't my brother continue to attack Qingzhou south?" Yuan Shao captured Donglai and sent the navy back to Liaodong. ”

"In the past, we had Donglai County in order to stick a knife behind Yuan Shao and save him from attacking north. Now Donglai is not of much use to us, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to give Yuan Shao to let him stand with Liu Bei - Xuzhou and Yangzhou are fighting, just this spring. Yan Bei said with a sly smile and said: "Now that the imperial court is here, there are strong soldiers and horses in the public and the town, we just need to wait for the opportunity, and we don't have to worry about them." It is precisely because of this that we need to go to the north to fight, and the princes of the south are busy fighting each other, and we are opening up territory in the north. I don't worry about them, and you don't have to. ”

Although Yan Bei said this, there was always a little worry in his words, and Yan Dong pondered and asked, "What is that brother worried about?" ”

Isn't it the southern princes who should be most worried in the world? If even they don't have to worry, there really is nothing to worry about that day!

"Infighting!" Yan Bei sighed with a low snort, "I'm worried about the infighting in the imperial court, the hundred officials and ministers are used to forming their own faction to confront the ministers, and the threat of the ministers is greater than the safety of the country in their eyes. But it is precisely because of their confrontation that the imperial court has lost its past prestige and ability to rule the world, and there will definitely be powerful ministers. It's not Dong or Li, or Yan. Just like the princes of all walks of life are accustomed to being hostile to each other, and they have been like this for seven or eight years, and most of the people in high positions now are the winners of the struggle for power and profit in the past, who can let it go? ”

"But my brother is doing a good job now, Guangluxun has no second thoughts, and the auxiliary generals are also looking at you, and there seems to be no one in the court who opposes the Yan family."

"Liaodong does not fight, the power of a county to seize the east city and take Youzhou in the west; Youzhou does not fight, and the power of a state is to drive Yuan Shao to Jizhou; If you don't fight infighting, you can take the state in the middle of the customs...... If the Han people in the world don't fight infighting and whip the world, I want to see what it would look like. Yan Bei said that he laughed, waved his hand and drank a bottle of wine with a wry smile, pushed over the wine cup and said to Yan Dong: "San Lang, this time you go back to Youzhou, I want you to take Huan'er away." ”

"Take Huan'er away? He's only three years old! ”

Yan Dong was shocked, and he didn't understand why Yanbei wanted to be separated from his flesh and blood when he was at the top of the scenery.

But I heard Yanbei say quietly: "If I die, don't take revenge, it's better to settle in Youzhou, or retreat to Liaodong...... Build a Xiongguan in Liaoxi! ”
