Shao Xun's rhythm in Luoyang is very tight.
May 11th at Wang Yan’s house.
On May 12th, I came to the Yu family—er, to visit Yu Liang.
"For several years, among the counties in Hebei, only Ji County has never been captured. No matter which way the thieves attack, Yu Gong can defend the city, and his three thousand elite soldiers can be regarded as trained." The conversation place was originally arranged in the main hall. Yes, but the Guanqiu family changed it to the back garden, so Shao Xun naturally did everything he could and was talking about the situation in Hebei.
Opposite him sat Yu Min.
Yu Liang stood aside and made tea for the elders and the lord.
"The leader of the rebellion in Hebei was replaced by Er Shi. Liu Yuanhai seemed to have a plan for the two of them. He restrained Kou Changshan in February and was forced to retreat by Wang Jun. Shi Chao went down to Ji, Wei and other counties, but also returned without success. The two men From the south to the north, they were vying to capture the city and territory. The Imperial Tutor was so worried that he once sent troops to cross the river and go north, forcing Shi Chao to retreat." Yu Min sighed.
A little far away from the two of them, a pair of embroidered shoes suddenly appeared, stopped behind a big tree, and listened.
Once upon a time, she was an enthusiastic and innocent little girl. She had big, dark eyes that shone with enthusiasm, innocence, and curiosity.
Six years later, the twelve-year-old has undergone tremendous changes.
The eyes that once smiled like crescent moons now have a bit of the brightness of a girl, the eyelashes are slightly raised, and there is still a hint of enthusiasm like a wild deer in the eyes.
Her lips became increasingly red, and they were slightly pursed. Sometimes they opened in surprise, and then they were lightly covered.
The light and tight waist is a little thin, but the curves are already showing.
An embroidered shoe was rubbing unconsciously on the ground, as if complaining about Yu Min's endless talk.
In the past two years, a name that my family and relatives often talk about is "Shao Xun".
When he said this, he looked at her intentionally or unintentionally.
Girls don't understand everything.
In fact, in an era when people could get married at the age of thirteen, mothers would often teach their daughters how to be a wife when they were eleven or twelve years old. This was part of the education of girls from aristocratic families.
She knows everything.
After hearing the word "Shao Xun" too many times, memories from my childhood slowly emerged in my mind and deepened, almost becoming a symbol.
In fact, she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart. Perhaps she was just passively accepting the fate arranged by her family. She had no power to object and no reason to object.
Or maybe she wasn't so reluctant. She saw how powerful he was when she was a child, which made her think that the most useful man was the man who could protect his family.
The deep impression left at that time made her aesthetic slightly different from that of ordinary ladies.
Maybe there is a slight sense of satisfaction.
The brave general of the three armies, the young county prince, the much-anticipated savior of Luoyang, the Yanling Yu family, and the Xuchang Chen family all intend to marry a daughter, and it doesn't matter who they are. But according to the elder brother, he "named" him... …
While I was thinking wildly, the other person had already finished talking about a topic.
Yu Liang also cooked the tea and poured it into the tea bowl in front of the two of them.
"Marquis Lu Yang hasn't married yet, has he?" Yu Min suddenly asked after taking a sip of tea.
The embroidered shoes that were unconsciously rubbing against the ground suddenly lost their rhythm and became clumsy and confused.
The girl subconsciously stood up straight and became more dignified.
My face feels slightly feverish, my throat feels swollen, and my heartbeat gradually picks up.
"Never." Shao Xun replied.
Yu Min smiled and said: "Liang County and Yingchuan are so close, so we have to help each other."
"What Mr. Yu said is true, and I also have the same intention." Shao Xun also replied with a smile.
Yu Min said no more. Shao Xun naturally understood what to do when it came to certain things. Yu was still embarrassed, so he couldn't bring this up on his own initiative.
In terms of practical interests, the Yu family needs a strong foreign aid.
Some people may have disagreed with this in the past, but after the Wang Mi Rebellion, fewer and fewer people hold this view.
No one is a fool. People are always very realistic when their wealth, life, or ancestral tombs are threatened.
It is true that Shao Xun came from a bad background, but he can fight.
Moreover, he is now the Marquis of Luyang County, a high-ranking general, and has a large number of soldiers. He has a close relationship with Situ Wang Yan. Who in the Yu family can compare with him?
From Shao Xun's point of view, if he wants to integrate a wealthy county like Yingchuan with a huge population and wealth, he must have his own people and collaborators.
The Yu family in Yanling has taken root in Yingchuan since the Later Han Dynasty, so he is a very suitable candidate.
Of course, there are other noble families in Yingchuan who can also cooperate with Shao Xun, but didn't he name Wenjun's niece?
Well, upon closer inspection, it turns out that this was what Hu Wufuzhi said, and it may not be accurate. But Shao Xun didn't deny it, and his attitude is evident. After today's test, he became more and more convinced of Yu Min's idea.
There's something interesting about this!
After hearing Shao Xun's affirmative answer, the girl's face burned even more.
With passion shining in her eyes, she held her breath, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone, and quietly poked her head out from behind the tree to take a peek.
Coincidentally, Shao Xun happened to look this way as well.
Hey, look what I saw? A pair of girlish eyes with multiple emotions such as exploration, expectation, enthusiasm, shyness, etc., and a burning blush on her face.
After meeting his gaze, the girl's eyes suddenly changed, and emotions such as surprise, sluggishness, and panic emerged.
After a while, the rustling and chaotic rhythm of footsteps gradually faded away, and there seemed to be no one behind the big tree.
The place fell silent.
Yu Min looked at Yu Liang, who was blushing.
Shao Xun calmed down.
He suddenly felt that girls were quite interesting. Although it was a bit easier to conquer them and there was no sense of achievement, as a qualified old pervert, the family should implement a diversified strategy.
Yu Min coughed and said, "Zimei has been in Ji County for a long time, and his left and right limbs are weak. Do you have any idea of ​​​​moving to another place?"
Yu Liang came back to his senses and said: "I have said a few words, but there is no focus."
Jijun is located on the front line.
As Liu Han's power grows, this place will be attacked sooner or later, whether it is a feint attack or a main attack.
To be honest, Yu Chen has done a very good job.
He relied on the more than a thousand soldiers sent by Shao Xun in the early days, and then used various means to unite local powerful people and scholars, won several battles, and gradually increased his prestige.
Later, Shao Xun secretly colluded with Shi Chao and others through Lu Zhi. Even with rebellions in other counties in Hebei, Ji County was safe and peaceful. Yu Chen's local prestige soared and he received a lot of money and food from the Ministry of Finance.
Qu, the three thousand soldiers in the county can be considered to have been battle-hardened for a long time and have some fighting ability.
But it is a frontline after all, and it can be maintained in a short period of time. As time goes by, without the support of the imperial court, sooner or later it will be unable to withstand it.
Yu Chen had this intention because he was worried that the imperial court would not be able to effectively operate in Hebei and would fall into an isolated and helpless situation.
"After defeating Wang Mi, the imperial court may intend to use troops in Bingzhou and Hebei." Shao Xun revealed a little information, only to hear him say: "The Grand Tutor also has this intention."
After saying this, the two of them understood somewhat.
After eliminating internal hidden dangers, the imperial court was bound to send troops to the Xiongnu.
In the past, the kings were fighting in a melee, and they really couldn't use their hands.
Now that the melee among the kings is over, only the Donghai King family is left. Faced with the "monster" created by the Chengdu King before his defeat, both the government and the public need to destroy it.
Especially Taifu Sima Yue, he is under great pressure now and urgently needs to prove himself and restore his image.
Then it would be normal to use troops against the Xiongnu.
In the final analysis, although today's knowledgeable people believe that the Huns are already powerful and difficult to contain, they do not think they will definitely lose, and they still want to fight.
The Liangzhou soldiers who had just shown their glory under Luoyang City set off this morning to return to Liangzhou. It was heard that their route back would pass through Hedong County, and they would definitely encounter fierce battles with the Xiongnu.
This may give us a glimpse of the imperial court's attitude, as they had no intention of giving up on merging states.
The Eight Kings Rebellion has ended, and the intervening episodes such as Zhang Chang, Liu Bogen, Ji Sang, and Wang Mi have also been settled one by one. The war between Jin and Hungary will become the mainstream in the future.
It may last for some years, because the Xiongnu's strength is just that, and they don't have much of an advantage. Even on paper, the Xiongnu is still at a disadvantage.
This war still has to be fought!
After finishing the conversation in the backyard, Shao Xun said goodbye and left, returning to the Shao Mansion after a long absence.
During the Wang Mi Rebellion, the Shao Mansion accepted some guests from Panyuan Manor. They had left at this time, but the whole mansion was still a bit messy.
Shao Xun didn't care much. After sending someone to clean it up, he sat down and wrote a letter.
Lu Zhigang reported that there were rebels in Guangchengze, but they were quickly suppressed by the Yamen army who stayed behind.
The reason for the rebellion is still too painful.
The construction of Guangchengze has entered its third year this year, or two years and seventy-eight months.
Not only were the servants suffering unspeakably, but the local officials were also fed up and had some emotions.
Shao Xun thought for a moment. As the largest piece of wool he had collected from the imperial court in the past six years, this project had to continue.
Yes, we have to trouble Wang Situ again.
Dealing with this person is all about naked interests. This time, I have to think of a good excuse and let Wang Situ use his unique skill of "talking nonsense" to persuade the emperor and strengthen his determination to continue the Guangcheng Garden Palace.
The imperial court has experienced the Wang Mi Rebellion, and its prestige has been somewhat damaged, but only "somewhat". Take advantage of the favorable opportunity while you can still control the local officials. When the prefectures and counties no longer have access to the imperial court, where can you go whoring for free?
Money, food, materials, labor force?
After thinking about this matter, Shao Xun took care of the pension matters for the soldiers who died in the war...
One thing after another, I was busy until late at night.
Chapter completed!
