The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

This important political decision was that Xun Zhen wanted to move his shogunate out of Tan County, Xuzhou, in other words, to move the government.

It goes without saying that the relocation of the shogunate is a major event, especially since Xunzhen has now ruled over the three states of Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and his sphere of influence has entered Jiujiang County in Yangzhou, Yingchuan County in Yuzhou, and Yinzhou in Sizhou and Henan. In this case, the shogunate of his town is equivalent to the head of these places. If the soul is located, if it is moved, it is bound to be of great importance and involves many.

Such a pivotal decision was something that Xun Zhen came up with as soon as he patted his head.

However, as early as a few months ago, someone in his state capital suggested to him to relocate this matter.

It was Zhang Hong who made the first suggestion.

In fact, before Zhang Hong made this suggestion, Xun Zhen had already thought about it.

After listening to Zhang Hong's suggestion, Xun Zhen called Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others to discuss with them carefully, and everyone agreed with Zhang Hong's opinion; Xun Zhen went to Xun You, Xun Cheng, and Xun Chen again. Wait, ask their opinions, Xun You and others also agree.

Therefore, today, Xun Zhen summoned all the officials in the prefectures and above in Tan County, the officials in the shogunate and the officials above Cao Ye, and all the civil and military officials above the school captain in Tan. Discuss this matter formally, and listen to the opinions of the backbones of these military and political groups.

...

The officials came in an endless stream, and not long after, Xun Zhen also arrived.

However, there was a thick gray carpet on the ground, tall red pillars for drawings, a wide and solemn lobby, and two rows from east to west. At this moment, there were dozens of civil servants and military officials, among whom the elderly were over fifty and the young. Fang Ruoguan's age, the elders are solemn, and the younger are sharp-edged. Xun Zhen, wrapped in a black robe and wearing a sword with a leather belt, walked slowly through the aisle between them.

Suddenly, a word came to Xun Zhen's mind.

After arriving at the case, Xun Zhen turned around, faced the officials, asked everyone to sit down, stood with their swords pressed, Gu Pan smiled and said, "I will lead Xuzhou Mu, be the general of Zhendong, and set up my state government and the shogunate. Yutan has been busy with military and government affairs since then. The officials of the two governments and the monarchs present here are rarely able to gather together as they are today! Looking at you now, whether you are majestic, or educated, or Yan Ran, or heroic, you should be It's really a zhilan and jade tree, all born in my court, ... gentlemen, this reminds me of a sentence."

Xi Zhicai, who was sitting on the left, asked with a smile, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, which sentence do you remember?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "The morning sun is shining and the evening is overcast, and the weather is amazing."

Xi Zhicai repeated these eight words in a low voice and said, "This is a good sentence." He said to Xun Zhen jokingly, "Not only does Duke Ming not only

His political skills were extraordinary, and his military skills were like gods, but he never thought of Duke Ming, and his literary thoughts were like gods. "

Seeing Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Chen Qun, Cheng Jia, Jian Yong, Liu Qian, Chen Yi, Wen Zhi, Sun Qian, Yuan Sui, Xuan Kang, Guo Jia, Lu Su, Mao Jie These are of different origins, respectively from Henan, Xu, Ji, Yan, Qing, Yang and other states, or they were famous in later generations in the original time and space, or they were promoted to the countryside by themselves, and they all have talents and talents. All of you, looking back on the hard work and entrepreneurship over the past few years, the road has become blue, and Xun Zhen is in a very good mood at the moment, laughing loudly.

He sat down, touched the table with his hand, and said in his heart, "These eight characters are good, but there are better ones in the future!"

The eight characters "morning and evening, the weather is ten thousand" comes from the famous article "Yueyang Tower", and Xun Zhen thought "there are better things to come", which naturally refers to "worry before the world and worry about the world after the world." Have fun".

Xun Zhen had already decided that when the administrative center was moved to a new place and settled down, he would write down these two "better" words and hang them in the council hall to show his loyalty to the emperor and love for the people.

But he said, why didn't Xun Zhen write it now? Or, he wrote it when he set up governance in Tan?

This is because when he was set up in Tan, he only had a newly acquired Xuzhou, and this Xuzhou was not in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but on the coast of the East China Sea. The fame and strength he had at that time did not match, and it was also inconsistent with his goal of maintaining Xuzhou and finding opportunities to develop his strength at that time, so he could not write, nor could he write.

But, now it's different.

Now, not counting the strong influence of Jiujiang, Yingchuan, and Henan Yinhe on Yuzhou, Xunzhen is already close to the three states north of the Yangtze River and east of the Yellow River. Looking at today, he is already the strongest in China. One of the princes, and his troops have just settled in Luoyang, the capital of the dynasty, then at this moment, he wrote these two sentences and hung them in his hearing hall, it was the right time.

——Anyway, Xun Zhen has already stole the famous phrase "for the heaven and the earth", so he has no psychological burden to steal Fan Zhongyan's deafening and eloquent phrase.

After being seated, Xun Zhen said: "I invited you all here today for one thing, and I would like to hear your opinion. This is a suggestion made to me by Duke Zhang, who is engaged in sacrificing wine, a few months ago. Duke Zhang suggested that I move the shogunate west to Yan. While I was there, I had already asked Zhizhong, Jianjun, counsellors, Zanjun and others for their opinions on this, and they all agreed.

"Working in sacrificial wine" is Zhang Hong's current post; "governing the middle" is Zhang Zhao's post; "supervising the army's middle-ranking officer" is Xi Zhicai's post; "Military Commander" was the post of Chen Qun, who also led the shogunate's military offerings.

...

There is no impermeable wall in the world. The shogunate moved to rule such a big thing, and all the officials in the hall were the high officials of the state government and the shogunate, and they were all well-informed.

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^ And in private, there have been heated discussions among the friends. Some people who may have opposed this or did not understand Zhang Hong's proposal before have all agreed and understood it now.

The first person on the right, stroking his beard, said slowly: "The reason why Duke Ming put the shogunate in Tanxian before was mainly because at that time Duke Ming only had Xuzhou under his jurisdiction. Now Duke Ming has ruled the three states of Xu, Yan, Qing, and Jiujiang of Yangzhou. At this time, it would be very inappropriate to place the shogunate in Tanxian.

"After years of careful governance by Duke Ming, Xuzhou's counties have long been stable, the people are happy with their jobs, and thieves are not born. Compared with the Central Plains, the northern and southern states are still divided, and the melee is endless. Today, Xuzhou can be said to be a paradise for one side. Next, I will rescue King Qin, eliminate the thieves of Li Jue, welcome the emperor to return to the old capital, and achieve the great cause of reviving the Han family again. Duke Ming's main military direction will gradually move westward. Duke Ming's next military deployment. Therefore, I think it is appropriate to move the government at this time!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Zhao.

——When Zhang Zhao mentioned Xunzhen's jurisdiction, he did not mention Yingchuan and Henan Yin. Not mentioning Yingchuan is because Yingchuan belongs to Yuzhou, and Xunzhen is in actual control. After all, he is an ally with Sun Ce, and it is not easy to openly call it his own territory; not to mention Henan Yin, because Xu Rong and others have already settled in Luoyang. But nominally, the chief official of this county is Luo Ye, and Luo Ye is not Xun Zhen's subordinate.

Xi Zhicai added: "The benefits of moving the government are not only the two mentioned by Zhang Gong, but also that Yuan Benchu ​​and Gongsun Bogui are now fighting in Zhuo County. Relocating to Yanzhou will be of great benefit to our army when it is appropriate to take advantage of it."

The west of Yanzhou borders Jizhou; the north of Yanzhou is bordered by Pingyuan County, and Pingyuan County further north, entering the border of Jizhou, and going up 400 li by the Zhangshui, which is the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou, and Zhuo County is there.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Benchu ​​have already started a war again. Although Xun Zhen and others have already decided that Gongsun Zan will be defeated sooner or later, Xun Zhen and others have also judged that the victory and defeat of the two sides cannot be determined in the short term. Moving to Yanzhou is indeed as Xi Xizhicai said, when the time comes, you can seize the opportunity in time, and it is possible to get benefits from it.

——But the relocation of the shogunate government was not just the relocation of the officials of the shogunate. There must be a large number of troops along with it. At least the heavy infantry and cavalry troops stationed around Tan County were to follow Xunzhen and follow. The shogunate moved together. When more troops arrive in Yanzhou, when the time is right, it will be much more convenient and quicker to dispatch troops and intervene in the battle of Youji.

In addition to the three benefits mentioned by Zhang Zhao and Xi Zhicai, there is a greater benefit in moving the administration to Yanzhou.

On the surface, this benefit is one of the two benefits that Zhang Zhao just mentioned, that is, "The main direction of Duke Ming's army will gradually move westward. After the relocation, it will also facilitate Duke Ming's subsequent military deployment." To put it bluntly , that is, it is convenient for Xun Zhen to use troops in Henan Yin.

In terms of military geography, Yanzhou is not only adjacent to Jizhou, but also closer to Henan Yin than Xuzhou is to Henan Yin.

Chenliu County, the most southwestern part of Yanzhou, borders the eastern boundary of Henan Yin in the west.

From the moment Xu Rong settled in Luoyang, Luoyang and Henan Yin have become Xunzhen's next important strategy directions. Therefore, it can be said that Henan Yin is about to become, or in other words, has even become Xun Zhen, Yuan Shao, Li Jue The three parties are on the battlefield.

When Xu Rongbing was ordered to enter Henan Yin, Xun Zhen had considered that he would be out of reach. If a war broke out, he might be slow to respond, and he might not be able to help in time. Now if the shogunate was moved to Yanzhou, such problems would be avoided. re-existed.

Xun Zhen seized Luoyang and entered Yin in Henan, for what?

The military serves politics, of course, to achieve his next political goal of "holding the emperor to command the princes". Therefore, this is actually a political goal. Moving to Yanzhou is not so much helpful to the military as it is to help. for the achievement of his political goals.

However, there is no way to express this meaning publicly in front of so many officials in the hall; the only thing that can be said is what Zhang Zhao said: "King Qin saves the driver, destroys Li Jue's thieves, and welcomes the emperor to return. In the old capital, I achieved the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty again."

Apart from the most fundamental benefit of this layer, there is another benefit that cannot be treated to outsiders.

That is, if the government office was moved to Yanzhou, Xunzhen's control over Yuzhou would become stronger.

Xuzhou is in the east of Yuzhou. Although the two states are also bordered, one is that Tanxian is farther away from Yuzhou, and the other is that Xu and Henan are side by side and have no terrain advantage. The distance is closer, and Yanzhou is in the north of Yuzhou, and it also has the advantage of being condescending and like a sword in the topography.

Xun Zhen asked: "The benefits of relocating governance have already been mentioned by Duke Zhang and Zhicai, and I think so too; what are your opinions?"

All the officials in the hall stood up one by one and expressed their opinions.

Everyone agrees, no objection.

Among the reasons for moving the shogunate to Yan, many people mentioned the "remoteness of Xuzhou".

The word "remote" has been heard a lot, perhaps because Xunzhen is in a good mood today. - The relocation of the government seems to be just moving the government from one place to another, but the meaning behind it is very important. This represents that Xun Zhen's current military and political strength and status have reached a new level compared to the past, which means that his career is about to start a new stage, and his military and political group will face a new stage. The future, so his mood is really good, but he is really praised by Xi Zhicai, Wen Si is like a god, and suddenly he thinks of these two words, "Han thieves do not

Dear, this chapter is not over, and there is another page ^0^ The two stand, Wang Ye is not partial."

Xun Zhen listened to all the officials in the hall expressing their personal opinions one after another, and lightly clasped the table with her fingers, thinking in her heart: "After moving the administrative center to Yanzhou, 'the worries of the world before the world's worries' can be expressed in my case. Far from the rivers and lakes, worrying about the loyalty of the court, 'Han and thieves do not stand apart', these five words can be my political call after successfully achieving the next goal."

The next step is to take the emperor to make the princes later.

At that time, if the five words "Han and thieves do not stand apart" are put forward, those who do not obey the emperor's decree are all thieves, and as a loyal minister who assists the emperor, he naturally represents the Han. ——"The Han and the thieves are not divided, the king's industry is not partial", only the former sentence applies to Xun Zhen, and the latter sentence does not apply. First, Xun Zhen's territory is not partial and safe, and secondly, the "king industry" only applies to the emperor Callable.

...

All the officials in the hall expressed their opinions one by one.

Xun Zhen said: "I am fully aware of what the ministers mean. Since the ministers do not object, the matter of moving the governance will be officially decided today. When Duke Zhang and Zhicai discussed the matter with me, they proposed I've asked two questions, and today I would like to ask you for your opinion on these two questions."

Sima Xuankang of the shogunate asked, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, which two questions are there?"

Xun Zhen said: "The two problems that may arise from the relocation of the government are Qingzhou and Yangzhou."

All the officials in the hall were extremely intelligent people, and Xun Zhen didn't need to elaborate, but when they heard the words "Qingzhou" and "Jiujiang", they all understood what Xun Zhen was referring to.

One of the officials got up and said, "The lower officials secretly thought that these two problems may become problems, but they will never become major problems."

It was Xuan Kang who just asked the question.

Xun Zhen asked, "Why?"

Xuankang talked eloquently and said: "First of all, let's talk about Qingzhou, Xun Shijun has the ability to manage government and is skilled in military affairs. In Qingzhou, he respects the sages, appeases the people, attracts the refugees, eliminates thieves and bandits, and implements various policies. You are here, Qingzhou will not be in chaos. Yanzhou borders the western section of Qingzhou. Taking a step back, even if there is something really wrong in Qingzhou, the shogunate's reinforcements will arrive soon, and it is not a cause for concern.

"Let's talk about Yangzhou. After the government moved to Yan, the shogunate was a little farther away from the Yangzhou Council. Therefore, after Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, died of illness, Eryuan and the imperial court fought each other, and each of the governors followed suit. After returning to Jingzhou, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao fought again. It's true that there may be problems, but it doesn't matter. Jiujiang Xun Gong is highly respected and capable of governance. Now there are champions and other generals to help him. , If there is something, Guangling can help it first, then as long as it can be stabilized for half a month, the follow-up reinforcements of Duke Ming will naturally arrive. Once the reinforcements of Duke Ming arrive, there are still some troubles that cannot be solved! Yangzhou is not a big worry. ."

"Champion" refers to the champion captain Liu Deng.

——"Er Yuan and the imperial court competed for glory, and each of the prefects will follow them." Xuankang said that after Chen Wen died of illness, the imperial court honored Liu Yao as the prefect of Yangzhou, and Yuan Shu wanted to pursue Yangzhou and expressed his favor. As the prefect of Yangzhou, Yuan Shao heard about it, and also expressed that Yuan Yi was the prefect of Yangzhou.

As mentioned above, once the shogunate was relocated, most of the troops and horses currently stationed in Tanxian and other places would also move into Yanzhou. In this way, the military strength of Yanzhou and other places would certainly be enriched, but Xuzhou would inevitably become There is a situation where the strength of the troops is not as good as before, and in this case, as Xun Zhen mentioned these two concerns, it is possible that the eastern part of Qingzhou, that is, the Beihai that borders Xuzhou, was originally the most ravaged by the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou before. County, and Yangzhou on the other side of the Yangtze River, which is unstable internally and has enemies outside, will have problems.

After listening to Xuan Kang's analysis, Xun Zhen was quite relieved, nodded and smiled, "You agree with the supervisor on this point."

Xuankang was brought out by Xun Zhen alone. After so many years of training, Xun Zhen was very satisfied that he could now have this insight.

Relocating the governance is a major event, but because all the officials in the hall knew in advance and discussed it privately, it was a formal discussion today. In less than an hour, the result was discussed, and everyone agreed to the end.

Xun Zhen was not a dawdling person, so she planned to announce the dismissal of the meeting, but at this moment, one person stood up and said, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, where do you plan to relocate?"

...

There is no reason to ask this question. When Xun Zhen, Zhang Zhao, Xi Zhicai and others talked about the relocation, although they did not directly say where they planned to relocate the government, they all mentioned Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is the most suitable for relocation. The only place to govern is Changyi, the county seat of Sanyang County, as everyone knows.

But the official asked this question abruptly, and Xun Zhen didn't understand what it meant.

This official was not very old and was one of the shogun's servants. Sheren, similar to private officials. In this position in the shogunate, Xun Zhen has given many appointments to the underage sons of the meritorious old officials, such as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and other sons who have served or are still giving up. For the purpose of training the young people, Xun Zhen asked them all to participate in this discussion. The official who asked the question was named Xue Mao, the son of the old Pengcheng Prime Minister Xue Li. When Xun Zhen and Tao Qian were fighting for Xuzhou, Xue Li was successful in standing in the team, and his son was later given up.

Xun Zhen replied, "Shanyang Changyi."

Xue Mao said: "The officials thought that if we moved to Changyi, there would be a big disadvantage."

Xun Zhen asked, "What's wrong?"

Xue Mao replied: "Changyi is too close to Jizhou. If something happens to Dongjun, Changyi will surely shake."

When Changyi crosses Jiyin and Dongjun in the west, it is the Yellow River, and when it crosses the Yellow River, it is Jizhou. It is only three hundred miles away from the border of Jizhou.

Xun Zhen asked him and said, "If you have said this, where should you move to?"

"In my humble opinion, why not move to Pei County?"

After listening to Xue Mao's words, Xun Zhen suddenly became unhappy.

Another panic in the hall

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^ I got up and said, "Pei County is the land of Yuzhou, how can Duke Ming's shogunate move into Pei County? Absolutely not!"

Xue Mao raised his head and said loudly: "If there is no Duke Ming, Yuzhou will be occupied by Yuan Gonggong and Lu Fengxian this morning, and Sun Bofu, a disciple of Duke Ming, if Duke Ming intends to move the shogunate to Pei County, A letter is everywhere, and the officials expect that Sun Bofu will like to welcome it and will definitely not refuse it. Duke Ming, among the four prefectures of Qing, Yan, Yu and Yang in Peixian County, it is the most appropriate to use it as a government office!”

Xun Zhen said angrily: "What is 'among the four states'? Yuzhou, Bofu land! I and Wentai are like brothers, Wentai was unfortunately killed by thieves, I will do my best to help Bofu, my governance place How can we move to Pei County? Don't talk too much, don't talk about it!"

Pei County is the land of Yuzhou. Xun Zhenru moved the shogunate's administrative office to Pei County. What does it mean? It shows that Xun Zhen regarded Yuzhou as the jurisdiction of his general of Zhendong. If he did this, Sun Ce might not dare to speak out, but in the end it would only destroy the alliance between the two sides. Right now, that's not advisable.

However, Xun Zhen also knew that in recent years, there have been quite a few private discussions among the civil servants and military generals under his account, who want to push Xunzhen under the direct control of the income of Yuzhou, no matter if they want to be promoted, - As soon as Yuzhou arrives in Xunzhen's hands There will be a number of large and small officials such as governors, county governors, county magistrates, and various military attachés, or they have other ideas. There are many people who have this idea.

Even though Xun Zhen knew about this, she had never dealt with it before. After all, if this thing were to be dealt with on the bright side, it might have the opposite effect. I didn't expect that Xue Li in the hall today would openly say this kind of person's idea. came out.

Seeing that Xun Zhen was furious, Xue Mao did not dare to say any more, and bowed down in fear.

Xun Zhen flicked her sleeves and said, "If you have nothing else to discuss, please come back and prepare to move this matter!"

...

The officials resigned and left, and Xun Zhen left behind Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Chen Qun.

The hall was quiet.

Zhang Zhao saw that Xun Zhen was still angry, and said with a smile: "Ming Gong, are you still angry with Xue Mao's suggestion?"

"Zhang Gong, Ruzi is not benevolent and unjust if you want to trap me!"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "Since Yun Ruzi, why does Duke Ming need to know him in general?"

Xun Zhen said: "If his words are spread out and Bofu knows about it, it may create a gap between Yuzhou and me; if they spread it to the sea, wouldn't I be pointed at the backbone and say I am? Disregarding the old friendship with Wentai, have you bullied orphans and widows?"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "It's not like that! Duke Ming, if the words of Gong Shicai scolding Xue Mao in the hall, if it spreads to Sun Yuzhou's ears, if you want to come to Sun Yuzhou, you will only be more grateful to Duke Ming."

Xun Zhen sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not mention this for now." Putting away his anger, he smiled, and said to Zhang Zhao, "Empress Zhang, I have been thinking about it, after the shogunate moved to Yanzhou, Xuzhou The presidency of the prefect is a must!"

Xun Zhen now has two main official positions, one is the general of Zhendong and the other is the minister of Xuzhou.

If he moved the shogunate to Yanzhou, he would no longer be able to hold the position of shepherd of Xuzhou. How could there be a chief official in a state, but he was in a foreign state and did not work in his own state? Moreover, this does not conform to the rules of the Han family.

At the same time, from another level, with Xun Zhen's current identity, he is actually the co-owner of Xu, Yan, and Qing states, and it is a bit inconsistent with the title to take up the post of Xuzhou shepherd.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, it is reasonable for him to resign Xuzhou Mu, and another person to replace him to lead Xuzhou.

Of course, the person who takes over Xuzhou must not be appointed by "Xuzhou Mu". The "shepherd" has both military and political leadership, and one of the princes has too much power, so it should be the same as Xun You and Xun Cheng.

Zhang Zhao was taken aback and said, "Ming Gong, how can this work?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Duke Zhang, I have been in Xuzhou for many years since I became the prefect of Guangling, and I have a lot of affection for this prefecture. In order to ensure that the people of this prefecture can still live happily and peacefully after I relocate to rule. , I have to be an elder I trust to lead Xuzhou, one of them; Zhang Gong, just like you said, remember that our military focus will shift westward, that is, Xuzhou will become my soldier Henan Yin, To contend against Yuan Benchu's rear, this also requires a capable minister I trust to take charge of Xuzhou, and the second. "

Zhang Zhao said, "Duke Ming, how can someone from this state lead the affairs of this state?"

Not to mention that the natives of Benzhou are in charge of the native state, according to the three mutual law of the Han family, that is, if the people of A state are officials in B state, and the people of B state are officials in C state, then the people of B state will also be equal to the three states A, B, and C. need to be avoided. At present, the method of avoiding officials is relatively mature. Even because of the strict taboo of the three mutual laws, sometimes some state and county officials cannot select suitable people for appointment for a long time.

Xun Zhen said: "In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things. Duke Zhang, now there is great chaos in the sea, groups of thieves are rising, princes are fighting each other, the Han Dynasty is declining, and the emperor is late. This is an extraordinary time. When this is an extraordinary time, It is necessary to do extraordinary things, and extraordinary things cannot be done by extraordinary people! 'If you have extraordinary merit, you must treat extraordinary people', the previous Zhuang language of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Gong, the honest and honest leader of Xuzhou, The public is this extraordinary person, and I would like to honor the public with extraordinary achievements!

"I have already written the statement on the prefect of Xuzhou, and I have sent someone to Chang'an. Please do not resign."

Zhang Zhao could not refuse, so he had to accept it.

Xun Zhen got off the table, got up and went to the hall, walked in front of Zhang Hong, took Zhang Hong's hand, and said with a smile, "Mr. Jijiu! I will no longer lead Xuzhou Shepherd. It's not very suitable. I have also presented the emperor, and the Duke is the general of the Zhonglang. This time I have moved to Yanzhou, so I will ask the Duke to come with me to Yanzhou."

Zhang Zhao

Dear, this chapter is not over, and there is another page ^0^, Zhang Hong is the leader of Xuzhou scholars, and the two are equally famous. Xun Zhen resigned as Xuzhou shepherd, so of course Zhang Hong is not suitable to stay. Xuzhou was an official under the new governor of Xuzhou, Zhang Zhao, so Xun Zhen planned to take him to Yanzhou.

This was something Zhang Hong had expected for a long time, and he did not refuse, but agreed.

Xun Zhen turned back to sit, and said to Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Chen Qun: "Moving to Yanzhou involves many military and political affairs. These things are troublesome for Lao Qing and others, and they must be arranged properly."

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Chen Qun respectfully responded.

There are indeed many things involved in relocation. In addition to the migration of officials and troops, for example, among the officials of the shogunate, many people's family members will move along with them. The archives and documents should also be moved there. The shogunate's stockpile of grain can be kept in Xuzhou, but not all of it, because many troops have followed and will also be transferred to the past, as well as ordnance and so on.

Another one was Zhang Hong, who was originally a state official, but now that Xun Zhen was going to step down as Xuzhou shepherd, many of them had to be transferred to the shogunate, and they needed to be re-appointed to suitable positions.

Then there is the new shogunate to be established by Xunzhen in Yanzhou.

There are so many different kinds of affairs.

...

At dusk, Xun Zhen returned to the back house.

Chen Zhi and the others knew that Xun Zhen had gathered a group of officials in the hall today to discuss the matter of relocation, and when they heard that Xun Zhen had returned, Chen Zhi and the daughters greeted him.

Chen Zhi asked Xun Zhen and said, "Husband, how is the discussion today?"

Xun Zhen said: "The rulers of the prefecture and the shogunate have no objection, and the matter of relocation has been decided."

Chen Zhi asked, "When do you plan to move?"

Xun Zhen said: "The preparations in the early stage will take one to two months, and it is tentatively scheduled after the spring of next year." Xiao and Chen Zhi said, "Young Master, you can start packing now." There seemed to be distant thoughts between the brows of the maid and Tang Er, so they turned to face them and asked with a smile, "What are you two thinking?"

Tang Er said: "Unconsciously, I have lived in Tan County for many years, and suddenly I have to move. I am really reluctant." Many of the plants and flowers in the courtyard were tended and trimmed by Tang Er himself. , her eyes turned to look.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "If you see any flower or plant that you are not willing to bear, move it to Yanzhou."

Chi maid said faintly: "But I don't know when I will be able to return to my hometown and see my relatives at home."

Hearing what she said, Xun Zhen pointed and said, "Speaking of which, it has been quite a few years since you and I left Yingchuan. Well, after my shogunate moved to Changyi, it will be far from Yuzhou. It's also near, when the time comes, I will send someone to take you back to your hometown to see!"

Among the girls, Wu Yan was the most revealing, and the corners of her mouth twitched immediately.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Don't grin, I still can't let you go back to your hometown, but sooner or later, it will definitely quench your homesickness!"

Wu's wife's family is in Jizhou, and Xun Zhen can't send someone to **** her back to her hometown to see her relatives, but Xun Zhen's confident words do not mean that he can't do it in the future.

Xun Zhen was in good spirits, and drank a few glasses of wine while eating with Chen Zhi's daughters.

After drinking, the concubine Chi and Concubine Wu waited on Xun Zhen to take a bath again. When you take a bath, you have a fragrant feeling, no need to say much.

After taking a bath, Xun Zhen came to Chen Zhi’s room, asked for a pen and paper, and wrote two words.

One is "Han and Thieves are incompatible~www.wuxiamtl.com~" and the other is "The worry of the world first, and the joy of the world after."

After writing, Xuanzhen took the pen in hand, and asked the maid to hang these two characters on the wall, asking Chen Zhi to look at them, and smiled and said to her: "Young Master, how did I write these two characters?"

Although Xun Zhen was usually busy with military and political affairs, he also took time out to practice calligraphy. These two characters were written in regular script, which was in its infancy in modern times.

Chen Zhi recited each of the two words a few times in silence, pointed to "Han and thieves do not stand apart" and asked Xun Zhen, "Husband, is this your ambition?" After asking, without waiting for Xun Zhen to answer, Chen Zhi asked. Pointing at "Worry before the world," he said, "Husband, I believe this is your ambition."

...

A few days later, an urgent report came from Luoyang.

The urgent report was written by Xu Rong, and it said: Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao's general Zhang He led more than ten thousand troops to cross the Yellow River and attack Luoyang.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
