The recent situation in the cantonal region has eased much compared to last year. The Xiongnu Han state, which had suffered heavy losses in the last defeat, lay dormant. Due to the battle of Jinyang, which single-handedly led to tens of thousands of casualties, the prestige and status of Liu He, the king of Zuoxian, were not as good as before, and Liu Cong, the king of Zuo Guli, took advantage of the situation. The contradiction between the two intensified, and even the Xiongnu nobles were divided into two camps to attack each other, so that Liu Yuan, the king of Han, had a headache. Such a Xiongnu Han state was simply not capable of continuing to deter Jinyang, but instead abandoned a number of strongholds in the central part of the state and completely shrank to the southern counties.

The enemies in the South are languishing, and the allies with delicate ties in the North are also at rest. After the violent death of Tuoba Luguan, a huge war broke out between the eastern and western parts of Tuoba Xianbei. Although Yilu tried his best to pacify it, it was also greatly damaged after all, and there are still the remnants of Lu officials who are wandering around and burned everywhere. According to reports, Yilu is planning to marry the widow of the previous generation Da Shan Yu, intending to use divine authority to stabilize the grassland, but I don't know if it is effective.

The Hu tribes in the north and south were all embarrassed, and under the elimination of one and the other, Liu Kun's Jinyang regime rose sharply. Not only did the actual jurisdiction expand to the five counties in the northern part of the state, but beyond the five counties, there were more than 1,000 people from all walks of life from near and far. The rapid increase in land and household registration, and the absence of war, is the time when the civil officials who are good at handling general affairs are proud, and Xu Run, in particular, is particularly good at seizing power.

Taking advantage of Wen Qiaoyuan's time in the grassland, Xu Run became increasingly powerful in the Jinyang shogunate, and assigned private individuals to intervene in all aspects of military and political affairs, as if he was under one person and above ten thousand people. A series of arrogant actions made the generals quite dissatisfied, but Xu Run won the special trust of Yue Shigong with his superb piano skills, which was really beyond the reach of the vulgar and unliterate martial artists.

Even the respected veteran Ling Husheng failed to gain the upper hand over Xu Run, and once even caused his eldest son Ling Huni to be scolded by Yue Shigong. Ling Husheng felt ashamed and humiliated, and then he said that he was sick for more than a month.

But Xu Run is not complacent. He knew very well that after all, the situation of the Tuoba Department was gradually stabilizing, and Wen Qiao and the others would one day return from the grassland, and at that time, their position would be violently shaken.

That Wen Qiao Wen Taizhen, as a child of the Bingzhou clan, not only has an in-law relationship with Yueshi Gong, but also has made great contributions, and he is definitely not from a humble background that he can compare. Although Lu Chang's status was slightly lower, after the Battle of Jiexiu, he had risen to a number of powerful officers under the command of Yue Shigong.

Not to mention Lu Yao and Ding Miao, who went to Jizhou in advance, both of them are generals and famous generals who are enough to be independent...... That Lu Daoming is now the general of Yingyang, the Taishou of Daijun, and the military of Shanggu Guangning of Daigun, and his official position is far above the civil and military forces of the Shogunate of Bingzhou. And he repeatedly turned a blind eye to the kindness he unleashed, which was even more hateful!

The almost pathological lust for power burned beneath Xu Run's seemingly gentle and elegant appearance, and he lowered his head slightly, hiding his facial expression in the shadows. At an angle that Liu Kun could hardly notice, the muscles in both of his cheeks trembled from clenching his teeth.

Even when Lu Yuan left Jinyang and seemed to be on his own, Liu Kun still praised him, and Xu Run rarely saw anyone get this kind of special love. Lu is really, really a great enemy! If this person still retains his influence on Yue Shigong, the powerful position he has worked so hard to manage will disappear sooner or later!

But after carefully recalling the tone of Yue Shigong's speech, Xu Runfu was refreshed again...... Fortunately, this person seems to have some special bad deeds in the past, so that Yue Shigong decided to abandon him, and even parted ways?

"Lord, do you mean ......?"

Xu Run suppressed the violent heartbeat and adjusted his questioning tone just right: neither too eager, nor deliberately evasive, every voice was uttered in perfect harmony with facial expressions, full of sincere concern.

Liu Kun glanced at Xu Run, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a little tired of Xu Run's tricks. But he obviously didn't intend to blame this Jinyang's unique piano saint for this, he just muttered something, and then fell into the memory: "If this matter is told from the beginning, the words will be long......"

Xu Run made a gesture: "I really don't know what happened in the meantime, and I dare to ask the lord to come slowly to solve my doubts." ”

"Oh, oh, since Xu Zhonglang wants to hear it, it's okay to talk about it...... Liu Kun's voice gradually lowered, and when Xu Run thought he had fallen asleep, he suddenly sighed: "Over the years, the collapse of the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty has always been one after another, and it has become more and more out of control. First of all, the Xianbei people made a rebellion in Qinlong, which caused a large number of displaced people in Guanzhong to flee into Shu. The local officials were not effective in governing the displaced people, which led to the rebellion of Li Te, and the clans Li Liu and Li Xiong rose up one after another, eroding Yizhou. In the second year of Tai'an, in order to resist Li Liu, Sima Xin, the new king of the military forces of Jingzhou, requisitioned Jingzhou to fight in the west with harsh means, which caused the barbarians in Jingzhou to rebel......"

"Zhang Chang, the leader of the barbarians, is very good at fighting, his subordinates are not afraid of death, and there are warriors who are good at picking swords and halberds, so they have lost the official army and are invincible. In just a few months, Wuchang, Changsha, Xiangdong, and Lingling were broken in the south; attack Runan and Yiyang in the east; Beikewan and Xiangyang successively killed Wuling Taishou Jia Long, Lingling Taishou Kong Hong, Yuzhang Neishi Yan Ji, Wuchang Taishou Liu Gen and other local officials, and even Sima Xin, the king of Xinye, was not spared. Among his subordinates, there were thieves named Shi Bing and Fengyun, who led the division to attack Jiang, Yang, and Xu Prefectures, forcing Chen Hui, the assassin of Yangzhou, to abandon the county and flee. For a time, Jianghuai was all shocked, and the imperial court urgently ordered Liu Hong, the general of Zhennan, and Liu Qiao, the assassin of Yuzhou, to raise troops to suppress the rebellion. Speaking of this, Liu Kun sneered, obviously because he remembered the past when Liu Qiao and King Fan Yang were enemies and kidnapped Liu Kun's parents in the war.

In July, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, also wrote to the imperial court, asking for orders to go to Jingzhou to assist in suppressing bandits, and then Lu Yun, the leader of the Jiangdong Shi clan, was the governor of the capital and the forward general, and the envoy supervised the Jingzhou military and led 50,000 elite soldiers to the south. So far, between Jianghuai, it can be said that the famous teachers and generals have gathered together. Lu Yun Lu Shilong, together with his brother Lu Ji, is known as Taikang Zhiying, who is not only the queen of the three generations of generals, but also the leader of contemporary celebrities. And Liu Hong and Liu Qiao are all famous intellectuals and capable ministers of this dynasty, and their subordinates Tao Kan, Zhao Xiang, Kuai Heng, Pi Chu, etc., are also extraordinary people who have emerged in the tens of millions of troops. With such a powerful force to suppress the thieves, it should be like Mount Tai crushing eggs, and it was a success in one fell swoop. ”

As the night deepened, Liu Kun yawned, slightly tucked the wide robe that had been dragged to the ground, and continued: "But to the surprise of the Luoyang Center, in the end, in the process of exterminating Zhang Chang and Shi Bing Thieves, the most credit was not given to Lu Yun, the capital governor representing the king of Chengdu, nor the two Fang towns of Jingzhou Liu Hong and Yuzhou Liu Qiao, but a small official under Liu Zhun, the general of Zhengdong, Chen Min of Guangling. This Chen Min used soldiers like a god, and attacked ten times the thieves with tired soldiers, and defeated them in every battle, so he decided Xu and Yang Erzhou, hehe, it is really terrifying to say. ”

"Ahem...... Xu Run's original intention was to find out Lu Yao's details, and secondly, to confirm Yue Shigong's attitude towards him, but he never thought that Liu Kun was very interested in talking today, and he actually brought the topic to Jingzhou, which has nothing to do with it. He coughed lightly twice, and said stupidly: "Lord, I know that Chen Min was named Guangling Minister for his exploits in suppressing thieves, and His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea undertook to make him the right general, and his grace is not ungenerous." However, he immediately rebelled, claiming to be the governor of Jiangdong Zhujun, Da Sima, and Chu Gong, and when his power was at its peak, he crossed Jingyang and swept Jiangdong, almost covering the old frontier of Sun and Wu...... However, my lord, does Chen Min, a traitor, have anything to do with Lu Yao and Lu Daoming? ”
