The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 8 Chapter 187: Separated by Nengchen County

The generals were stationed on the same day, and the next day, the generals pulled out their camps and went to various counties. (..)

Zang Ba, following Xunzhen's general order, did not return to Langya, but went directly to Yinping to settle in, and he sent a message to Kaiyang.

Sun Guan, Chang Xi, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Taishan captains sent him off.

Chang Xi said bitterly, "I'm waiting to offer Langya and the three counties of the East China Sea. Zhendong doesn't think about the reward, so he turned me out of Kaiyang, and divided me. It's really unbearable."

Zang Ba hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that there were no outsiders nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief, scolded Chang Xi, and said, "Why didn't Zhen Dong pay me to wait? Did Zhendong give me a waiting list?"

After the reward yesterday, the people who got the promotion were given the corresponding clothes and seals on the spot. At this time, Zang Ba and others were all wearing new clothes and new seals.

Chang Xi said disdainfully, "It's just giving me the seat of General Zhendong. It's just a false name, and it's not even half a benefit, but what's it worth!"

Although the Changxi people are rough, they speak well.

No matter whether you are a middle-ranking officer or a captain, they are all just a title. If you could get this title in the past, it would be satisfying, but in today's chaotic battle, what is the use of a title? The land is the real benefit. Not to mention, even this "useless" title did not come from the imperial court, nor was it ordered by the king, but only when Xun Zhen went to the imperial court.

As Chang Xi said, even if the title of General Zhendong was listed with Chang Xi, but he did not give him the corresponding territory, it was worthless at all.

Zang Ba could not refute what Chang Xi said.

Chang Xi clenched the hilt of his sword, looked at Zang Ba and the others, lowered his voice, and said, "Zhendong transferred the general out of Langya, and sent me to the north of Langya County, and now that the Yellow Turbans in Beihai are in great force, what if they didn't? Let’s go south to Langya, what if they go south? Just follow my words, I won’t stop them, it’s better to join forces with them and grab Langya, and even if it doesn’t work, you can loot…”

Before he could finish his words, Zang Ba and the others turned pale in shock.

Zang Ba hurriedly interrupted him: "Silence! Chang Xi! Are you mad?"

It is very impolite to call his name directly in front of people. "Xi" is also Chang Xi's nickname. Zang Ba has never called him in front of him like this before. At this moment, he not only called him by his first name, but also by his nickname, showing Zang Ba's nervousness and anger.

Chang Xi closed his mouth angrily.

Zang Ba said solemnly to Sun Guan and the others: "Tao Gongzu presented Xuzhou's seals. When Xuzhou and Danyang surrendered, the army in Zhendong became more powerful; when Cao Hong was beheaded, and the way was opened, Zhendong had already captured the hearts of the soldiers. , even if you hold grudges, you must not complain. Whenever there is a call or order in Zhendong, you must obey immediately, and you must not neglect at all. Otherwise, in light of it, Zhendong will capture your soldiers. !"

Sun Guan and the others could still see the situation clearly, so although they were dissatisfied with Xun Zhen just like Chang Xi, they all agreed to what Zang Ba said.

Zang Ba was worried about Chang Xi, and said to Chang Xi again: "Now you are stationed in Juxian, between the two waters, Dongguan and Dong'an are in the northeast of you, Linyi and Kaiyang are in the northwest of you, if you are convicted of rebelliousness, Sun Xiaowei will Although it is in Yangdu, it cannot be saved! Be cautious! Be cautious!"

The bases of the generals of Mount Tai, Sun Guan was in the far west, on the west bank of Yishui; Changxi was next, in the east of Yishui and west of Shushui; Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Sun Kang were all on the east of Shushui.

If Chang Xi was attacked by Xun Cheng's army because of his rebelliousness, Huang Qian of Dong'an, Pan Zhang of Dong'an, Chen Dao of Linyi, Chen Wu and Chen Ji of Kaiyang would only need to divide one of the four troops. , you will be able to watch Sun Guan who lives in Yangdu, and then advance in three ways, attacking from both sides, it is not difficult to take Changxi.

Chang Xi also knew this, the so-called "situation is stronger than people", so he responded with unwillingness and anger: "Yes."

Everyone has their own ideas. Can you persuade Chang Xi to stop thinking about it? Zang Ba has no idea in his heart, but his words can only be said here. Seeing that the state officials who came to "see him off" were still waiting for him in the distance, Zang Ba said: "You can't make the state officials wait for a long time, I should resign. You gentlemen, go back to the camp, return to the camp. After middle school, don’t stop too much, go to the station as soon as possible.”

Everyone responded, "Yes."

Zang Ba then said goodbye to Sun Guan, Chang Xi, Wu Dun, and Yin Li, thanked the state officials for sending them off, left the border of Tan County, and went to Yinping to be stationed.

On the same day, Sun Guan and the others also mentioned their respective parts, and together with Xun Cheng's troops, they went north to Langya, and each went to the garrison area.

The various tribes left Tan, and with the departure of the various tribes, there were also more than 10,000 people who had been eliminated from the army and turned into farms.

Of these ten thousand people, Xun Zhen handed over the jurisdiction of Jiang Qin and Zao Zhi.

There are two people who are currently in charge of the field work, namely Jiang Qin and Zao Zhi.

Zao Zhi is now the Colonel of Tuntian, although his rank is lower than that of Jiang Qin, but he is not under Jiang Qin's jurisdiction.

When Xun Zhen set up a colony in Guangling earlier, Zaozhi had worked with Jiangqin for a period of time under the title of "Tuntian Sima". Although Jiang Qin was born in the countryside, he was Xun Zhen’s old man from Xixiang. He had fought with Xun Zhen for a long time, and his credit and hard work were all high. Because he didn’t take Zao Zhi in his eyes, the two looked down on each other. , we can't talk about it together at all, and as a result, there are many contradictions and constant conflicts. Xun Zhen then promoted Zaozhi as the Colonel of Tuntian and made him lead one of his own.

The two of them were originally in charge of their respective fields, and there were many river birds and few jujubes.

This time, with more than 10,000 people, Xun Zhen intends to give more to Zaozhi and less to Jiangqin. After all, Zaozhi's farms are doing well, and the grain yield per mu is better than Jiangqin. He didn't get promoted to rank this time, because he was not long in the field, he just gave him a lot of money and goods, so he had to be compensated in other ways.

It is easy to distribute soldiers in the field, but the location of the field cannot be demarcated for the time being.

This is because, apart from the current county governors in Pengcheng and Xiapi, Guangling, Langya and Donghai now have no chief officials. Donghai originally had one, and his prime minister was named Liu Kui. "The reason, he was exempted, this is just an excuse, the real reason is because he attached to Tao Qian and resisted the "righteous soldiers", the East China Sea is where the state is governed, and it must be replaced by a trustworthy person.

As for the military affairs, after recruiting the soldiers and dispatching various departments to the garrison area, it was almost done. Next, what Xun Zhen needed to do was to appoint the governors of the three prefectures of Guangling, Langya, and Donghai.

Xun Zhen has a case against this.

On the day after the ministries left Tan, Xun Zhen summoned Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Chen Qun and other close people to inform them of the person he had decided and ask them for advice.

Xun Zhen said: "I intend to be the governor of Guangling in the governance, the minister of the East China Sea as the superintendent of grain, and the minister of Langya in Yuanlong. Why do you think it is the same?"

Governance refers to Wang Lang who was engaged in the former governance. Superintendent of grain, referring to the superintendent of grain superintendent Handan Rong. Yuan Long, of course, is Chen Deng.

These three candidates were decided by Xun Zhen after careful consideration.

Wang Lang and Chen Deng, these two people were born in Xuzhou nobility first, and their family was very influential in Xuzhou. Secondly, they were both very capable. Thirdly, Wang Lang was very famous in Xuzhou, and Chen Deng contributed Huaipu and Huaiyin counties. And the great deeds of persuading Tao Qian to surrender.

The two are divided into county governors, who can further attract Xuzhou scholars for Xunzhen, and stabilize the rule of Xuzhou.

Generally speaking, there are three factions of the civil and military officials currently under Xun Zhen.

Yingchuan people are one faction, Jizhou people are one faction, plus the subordinate officials appointed in Guangling and the newly recruited Xuzhou scholars, this is another faction. After conquering Xuzhou, and adding Xiapi, Xunzhen now has four positions of county governors who can be appointed, two for Xuzhou scholars and one for Le Jin. Although Le Jin is not from Yingchuan, he belongs to the Yingchuan faction. Yes, then the remaining position needs to be given to Jizhou. Among the subordinate officials of the Jizhou faction, only Handan Rong was the most suitable person to use the table.

There are many Jizhou people in Xunzhen's mansion and under the tent.

Wen such as Cheng Jia, Chen Yi, Luan Gu, Cen Rong, Huo Heng, etc., Wu such as Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, Chen Wu, Lu Guang, Handan Ji, Yan Meng and so on. Among the civil servants, Cheng Jiashan gave speeches, Chen Yishan eloquently gave words, and Luan Gu had insufficient qualifications. Although they had a lot of experience, their abilities still needed to be improved. It was enough to manage a county, but it was not enough to manage a county. They are all military talents, Lu Guang and Handan Ji are only middle-ranking people, only Zhao Yun can be the prefect of a county, but Xun Zhen is unlikely to transfer him into the army and change him to civilian.

Therefore, after all the calculations, only Handan Rong is suitable.

Handan Rong was an old man. When Xun Zhen was a lieutenant of Zhao State, he was the chief clerk of Xun Zhen and made great contributions to Xun Zhen. In the first year of Chuping, Xunzhen begged Dong and sent troops to Yingchuan. He brought 500 children from Handan, along with his younger brother Handan Ji, his wife and younger brother Lu Guang, and others. From the merits of war. Xunzhen returned to Guangling, sought Xuzhou, and served as a school captain. With Handan Rong as the superintendent of grain, there was no shortage of food resources, and he also had credit. Not only did he have many credits, but his people were aware of their inner sensitivity, strong and courageous, and talented.

Therefore, using him to rule the East China Sea, Xun Zhen can be trusted and can rest assured.

When Xi Zhicai heard about his three candidates, he laughed at Gu Xunyu, Xun You, and Chen Qun, and said, "When the general entered Xuzhou, I heard all the words in the army: All Xuns should be combined into two thousand stones! Da, but I don’t realize that not only can Xiu Ruo and You Ruo not be able to command the great county, but neither can the two of you.”

Xiu Ruo is Xun Yan; Youruo is Xun Chen.

Xun You smiled and said, "How can you take ignorant words seriously!"

Xun Yu and Chen Qun also laughed.

Xun Zhen didn't realize that he laughed, and said, "Is there such a rumor in the army?" She said to Xun Yu, Xun You, and Chen Qun, "I don't want my brothers to be rich. For the sake of the country, I can't take care of my family. You should know my heart."

Xun Yu said to everyone, "How could I not know what your lord is thinking!"

Xun Yu also said: "Second brother Yu also heard this rumor in the army, and went back to Yu and said: 'The rumor in the army not only damages the name of the monarchs and lords, but also damages the honor of our Xun family. Serving as the prime minister. At that time, I advised them not to rush to write a letter, and said to them: 'Today there is a turmoil in the sea and the military, the military and the government are two things, the military is the first, and the government is the second. After the two brothers wrote a letter, Junhou called me to discuss the matter of the three counties."

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "I expected your second brother would not listen to those rumors."

After discussing this topic, Xun Zhen said that he would return to the main story, and then asked everyone, "Qing and others, what do you think about using these three people to guard the county?"

Xun You said: "Governing food and Yuanlong should do it. Just to show the governance, not to leave the car, but will it make him dissatisfied?"

Biejia and Zhizhong are engaged in the highest positions in these two state capitals. In contrast, Bujian is a little higher than Zhizhong. Xun You was worried that it would cause Zhao Yu's dissatisfaction.

Xun Zhen said: "Wang Jingxing is liberal, courteous, courteous, and dignified. If he goes out to guard Guangling, he will be able to do his job well. Zhao Yuanda is noble and jealous, and he is not suitable for governing the people. As a teacher and friend, he should not be dissatisfied~www.wuxiamtl.com~ When Xun Zhen was in Guangling, his impression of Zhao Yu was not very good. Although this person is noble and honest, Xun Zhen always thinks that he is noble and pure. It's a bit "near fake", or, otherwise, there is something wrong with his character.

In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turbans revolted. At that time, Zhao Yu was the county magistrate of Ju County. Xuzhou Zhaojun State soldiers fought against the Yellow Turbans. He hoped that the imperial court would move him to reward him, but he was deeply ashamed and gave up his office to return home. In the current chaos, his temperament is not suitable for guarding the county.

Xi Zhicai agreed with Xun Zhen's words and said, "Too noble and pure would be inhumane. Zhao Yuanda is indeed not suitable for governing the county."

Xun Youyin no longer objected.

Xun Yu and Chen Qun had no opinion.

Then the candidates for the three prefectures' state ministers were decided.

Xun Zhen told several of them the prefectures of the prefectures and states he had chosen, saying: "Let Liu Ru be the chief of Xiapi, Qin Gan to be the chief of Guangling, Li Bo to be the chief of Donghai, Luan Gu to be the chief of Langya, Mi Zhu to be the chief Chengcheng Peng. Do you think it's okay to wait?" ()
