There are five counties in Yuzhou. In addition to Runan, which has the largest area and the most populous area, there are four counties and states: Yingchuan, Chen, Liang and Pei. Although Qiao Rui was the prefect of Runan, Sun Ce is currently stationed in Pingyu, which is equivalent to directly controlling Runan. Pang Shanmin is in Yingchuan, Du attacked Pei, leaving only Liang and Chen. Sun Ce originally planned to remain the same and will not be adjusted for the time being.

The reason is very simple. Luo Jun, the prime minister of Chen, was injured by Kuaiji Wu, and was different from Sun Ce, but he was very close to him. He was considered half a fellow villager. Yuan Huan, the prime minister of Liang, was the son of Situ Yuan Pang, and Cai Yong's cousin. Cai Yong's mother was Yuan Pang's own sister. Both of them had good official voices and did not clearly oppose the Sun family's father and son. In this case, there was no need to replace them, which was criticized for nothing.

But Guo Jia is right. Yuan Huan is suitable for being an official in a peaceful and prosperous era, but he cannot take on the heavy responsibility of calming the country in a chaotic era. Xin Pi brought two hundred people through the county, and Yuan Huan did not send any news. Either he was too vigilant or had other ideas. Sui Yang is a place where military strategists must fight for and cannot be controlled in his hands.

Sun Ce discussed with Guo Jia and called Lu Fan. "You go to Liang Kingdom to meet Yuan Huan, and I want to ask him to be a different person. Stay in Suiyang to act as an agent for government affairs."

Lu Fan was overjoyed. He tried to defend Liang State on his behalf. If he did a good job, he was Liang Xiang. From a county official to becoming Liang Xiang, he could not be said to be worthy of him.

Lu Fanhuan went there happily and took over with more than a hundred rangers.

Sun Ce immediately led the troops of Runan County to Pingchun. At the same time, he wrote to Nanyang and asked Zhou Yu to lead his troops to assist. This time, it was not simply to subdue these Yellow Turban Army, but to directly take Liu Xun.

——

Huayin.

Xun You and Jia Xu stood side by side on the cliff, looking at the Yellow River from afar. The Yellow River passed through the Loess Plateau in Bingzhou and rushed down. Here the Wei River gathered, making it even more surging. You can feel its rushing momentum from such a distance.

"Everyone in the world is talking about the yellow dragon, isn't that the biggest yellow dragon?" Jia Xu sighed.

Xun You approached him a little. "Brother Wenhe believes in these?"

"Don't believe it." Jia Xu said without thinking: "I don't believe in destiny. I believe in human plans more than the illusory destiny."

Xun You said oh, and looked at Jia Xu with great enthusiasm. Jia Xu turned to Xun You. "Let's go, and say while walking. If you have come out for too long, I'm afraid something will happen in the camp." Xun You felt a little nervous, and his fingers were gently hooked in his sleeves, and then he returned to peace. He followed Jia Xu to the bottom of the mountain. In the distance, Niu Fu's camp was Niu Fu's camp. More than 20,000 soldiers retreated from Luoyang were there. Zhang Liao led more than a hundred knights to guard the foot of the mountain, and his car was there. When he walked to the bottom of the mountain, he was about to part with Jia Xu and return to Chang'an.

He had a feeling that it was unlikely to convince Jia Xu. Cao Cao once said that if he could not convince Jia Xu, he would kill him. He didn't know how Cao Cao met Jia Xu, but judging from the few conversations he had met Jia Xu, Cao Cao's judgment was basically accurate.

This is a smart man who is well-versed in Confucian classics but does not believe in the morals advocated by Confucianism. He is a very dangerous person. If it cannot be used, it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible. Zhang Liao and others are at the foot of the mountain. As long as he gives the order, Jia Xu will definitely die. There is also a short knife in his sleeve. It is not difficult to seize the opportunity and take Jia Xu's life.

"Mr. Xun, do you know why Taishi Dong trusts Prince Shi so much?"

Xun You speeded up and followed. "Please also ask for advice."

"The Taishi heard about the reputation of Prince Shi for Hedong and wanted to make friends with him. But Prince Shi despised his origin and refused to be with him. When the Taishi entered the court, he had already followed the people and tried to eliminate the famous scholars and wanted to clear his reputation. However, few famous scholars were still willing to accept him. The Prince Shi was willing to cooperate, but the Taishi couldn't get it. First, he had achieved his long-cherished wish for it for many years, and second, he hoped to reconcile with the famous scholars and jointly manage the government."

Xun You was silent for a moment. "Tai Shi Dong is dead and cannot be resurrected, but Wenhe and these tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers do not have to die."

"Is this what Prince Master means?"

"……yes."

"Then I'll ask the Prince's Master to issue an edict to pardon all the old subordinates of the Grand Master to comfort the morale of the army. It's not that I refuse to believe in Prince's Master, but because he has the Supreme Master in front of me, I can't convince Niu Fu and others. With the pardon edict, I don't need to say that Niu Fu and others can surrender to the court and redeem their sins." Jia Xu smiled silently. "As soon as the Grand Master dies, he will lose his footing. Now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will catch it with all his strength. Not only him, but all the soldiers in Xiliang are like this. They are cruel when they kill people, and they are also afraid when they are killed."

Jia Xu turned around and looked at Xun You quietly. "Mr. Xun, can you do it?"

Xun You met Jia Xu's gaze and felt inexplicably anxious. He believed what Jia Xu said, but he didn't know if he could persuade Wang Yun to issue an edict to pardon these people in Xiliang. Wang Yun seemed to always sway between the two extremes, either being tough and unkind, or being so soft that it was hard to believe. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, he is in power and is ashamed of relying on Dong Zhuo. It is really hard to say whether he can pardon Dong Zhuo's old subordinates.

Jia Xu smiled, laughing bitterly. "Mr. Xun also finds it difficult, right?"

Xun You blinked his eyes and refused to comment. "What are Wenhe's plans for the future?"

Jia Xu let out a sigh, turned around and looked at the camp in the valley, and walked forward. "Let's talk about the future. The key is to comfort these tens of thousands of people first. Once they lose control, the people nearby will suffer. There is enough blood flowing, and the reputation of the people of Xiliang is bad enough. I don't want to see them commit evil again. If this matter can be solved and they can return to Xiliang, I will have accumulated some good deeds and are worthy of the court and the emperor."

Xun You smiled bitterly. The reason why he had not taken action for a long time was that he was worried. Jia Xu was alive and could barely convince Niu Fu to restrain his subordinates. If Jia Xu died, these Xiliang soldiers would completely lose control and cause even more disasters. Instead, they had to weigh the pros and constrain them first, and it would be the most feasible to go back and try to convince Wang Yun. Xun You thought for a moment and accelerated his pace to catch up with Jia Xu.

"Brother Wenhe, I can't give you any guarantee, but I will do my best. I hope Brother Wenhe can give me some time."

"I do my best."

"Thank you."

The two of them said nothing, walked to the foot of the mountain, bowed and parted. Jia Xu got on the horse and walked towards the camp. Xun You got on the car, but he did not order to set off for a long time. Zhang Liao turned over the horse, held a spear in one hand and a reins in the other, and looked at Jia Xu in the distance without saying a word.

Jia Xu walked halfway, tied the reins, turned around, and raised his hand to Xun You.

Xun You was stunned for a moment, raised his hand, and waved goodbye to Jia Xu.

"Let's go back to Chang'an."

"Here." Xun You sighed and patted the carriage. The coachman shook the reins, slowly pulled the carriage with his horse, turned a corner, and went westward. Zhang Liao and others also turned the horse's heads and protected Xun You to leave.
