Fan County is said to be the place where Gu State was located in Xia Dynasty.
At this time, it was a county under the Dongping State. It was named Shouzhang County in the Tang Dynasty and was later located in Liangshan County.
During the Yanzhou Rebellion, Cao Cao had only three counties, Juancheng, Fan, and Dong'a, that had not been captured. The former two had already passed through on the way east, while Dong'a was still in the north of Fan County.
To the east and south of Fan County is the vast Ohnoze.
This is one of the nine ancient lakes that still exists today. From a distance, it looks more like a vast ocean than a lake.
Such a vast wetland is extremely precious to Dongping, Gaoping, Jiyin and other places. Even during the severe drought the year before last, it could still guarantee a certain amount of agricultural water and prevent the fields from losing their harvest.
Overall, Yanzhou is a densely populated and fertile place.
Wei Wu used it as a base to attack the world.
At the meeting of the Guo Dynasty, Gou Xi was still worried about being driven out of Yanzhou - how could Qingzhou compare with Yanzhou?
On the evening of the third day of March, Shao Xun was guarding Concubine Pei, and Sima Pi was staying outside the city.
As Concubine Pei's brother, Pei Shao removed the hanging coupon and personally welcomed his sister and nephew into the mansion.
That night, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit, and soon the small house was packed to the brim.
Shao Xun brought over a bed and asked Concubine Pei to sit down.
The successor king, Sima Pi, moved a small rope chair himself and sat next to Concubine Pei.
Shao Xun stood behind the two of them, holding his sword.
A lot of people came, and almost everyone from the three shogunate groups including Situ, Yanzhou Mu, and King Donghai arrived.
Situ Zuo Chang Shi Pan Tao, Zuo Sima Feng Song, engaged in Zhonglang Shen Ling, Wang, Yang Mao, military counselor Liu Qiao (yes, the same Liu Yuzhou who once beat Sima Yue into a rage), joined the army Zou Jie, Liu Wei,
Quzhuang, Li Xing, Guan Yi, Jun Suimai, Xicao Guangyi...
Liu Chou, the Chief of Staff of the Royal Palace, He Sui, Pei Xia, the chief secretary, Pei Miao, the military supervisor, and Liu Qia, the lieutenant...
Pei Shao, Cheng Shou and others were the assistants of Yanzhou Mu shogunate.
There are dozens of people in total, and the huge lineup is breathtaking.
And this is still the scale that has been reduced.
Hua Yi, Xie Kun, Guo Xiang, Bian Dun, Ruan Fu, Yang Jun, Lei Sijin, Du Bi, Yan Han and others have either left their homes or died of illness and are no longer here.
In addition to the officers and assistants, there are also military generals and the Sima clan.
Shao Xun looked on in surprise.
With such a huge staff group, the emperor actually pushed outwards and wanted to liquidate them one by one. What kind of pig brain is this?
Anyone who has been in the Sima Yue shogunate for a long time has more or less participated in the conspiracy against the emperor and his favorites. At this time, you should be more generous and show that you can forget the past and draw the people and troops over first to take over the territory.
Say it again.
So you want to liquidate it? That’s ridiculous.
They will not sit still and wait for death, let alone seek refuge with you. In the end, they will only benefit other ambitious people, such as Langya King Sima Rui.
With Sima Chi in the Jin Dynasty, there is hope for ZTE!
"I recall that on the first day of the year last year, the palace was full of guests, laughing and feasting." Concubine Pei glanced around and said: "All of you are talented -"
"There are people who have countless strategies and have the honor of participating in the army and assisting Bi."
"There are people who are proficient in the art of war and have a record of sending troops to kill the invaders."
"There are people who care about the people and have the merit of living and protecting people."
"There are people who are talented in literature and have the advantage of promoting education."
"There are people who have a clear understanding of world affairs and can use them to propitiate and appease people."
"We, orphans and widowed mothers, are incapable of resourcefulness, incompetent in military strategy, and have no hope. Even if we have the ancestors of Situ Yize, we dare not use all the talents." Speaking of this, Concubine Pei wiped her tears and said: "In recent years,
Also, the drought lasts for more than a year
, the locust plague has spread all over the land, causing the warehouses to be empty and the Li and Yuan Dynasties to be destitute. There are also the Huns, jackals, and wolf ambitions, spying on China. In such a predicament, I and the heir may be powerless, so you should recommend your own talents to take on big responsibilities."
There was silence for a while, then whispers gradually began to sound.
Sima Fan, the king of Xiangyang, sighed repeatedly and lowered his head in silence.
Liu Chou and He Sui looked at each other with profound meaning.
He Lun and Liu Qia looked at Sima Pi with burning eyes.
Everyone has their own thoughts, it can be seen.
Yang Mao, the lieutenant in charge, coughed and said: "The princess is serious. The general of the town army is gentle, tolerant, smart and filial. He is also the legitimate son of Situ, so he can rule all parties. Or the heir is young.
, but there are many talented people here. If you choose the best to assist you, what can't be accomplished? After many years, the successor king will be benevolent and righteous, his kindness will be increased, and his reputation will spread to the north and south of the river, and great things will be done."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yang Hao.
Someone is thinking.
Someone is watching a play.
Someone is laughing.
To name a few.
Yang Mao seemed not to feel the gazes from the crowd, bowed and said: "I invite the general of the Zhenjun to come to Yanzhou to take charge of the matter."
Concubine Pei raised her head, her eyes blank.
"I would also like to ask the general of the town army to take care of the matter." This time it was Man Heng, the governor of the palace, who spoke.
The identity of this person is rather complicated. He was originally the riding commander of Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, and a native of Shanyang.
Later, he was requisitioned by Sima Yue and brought over a group of Xuzhou cavalry. The soldiers of the Xiaoqi Army who left the town, a total of more than a thousand cavalry, were put under his command.
Even in Yue Mansion, he had always maintained close contact with Pei Dun. Now that he stood up to speak, people couldn't help but wonder whether this was the intention of Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou.
Sure enough, after Man Heng said the previous sentence, he immediately said: "Pengcheng Commander Pei has been greatly favored by Situ, and he is willing to obey the orders of the general of the town army."
There was a buzz in the crowd.
Pei Dun was a heavyweight Fang Bo. He stood up to support the heir, which was much stronger than Yang Hao, a shogunate aide.
Sima Fan's mood is already very calm. How can he not be calm if he completely gives up that extravagant hope?
"I am willing to obey the orders of the heir king." He Lun and Liu Qia said loudly.
Their status is not high, but they directly control the army and their weight is not light.
But everyone just glanced at it and turned their attention to Nan Zhonglang General Shao Xun who was standing behind Concubine Pei.
Needless to say, Shao Taibai's reputation was known to all the shogunate officers and generals.
The grievances and grievances between him and Situ, if you talk about it carefully, can even be talked about for a day and a night. But since Situ is gone, there are some things that no longer need to be mentioned.
Theoretically speaking, Shao Taibai was born as a general in the Yue family. Although he was not a slave, he was a serious subject.
He is actually qualified to express his opinion. After all, he is from the Donghai family.
"I have been favored by Situ to this day." Shao Xun walked around to Concubine Pei and Sima Pi, bowed and said: "The general of the Zhenjun army is of Situ's blood. Now that he has grown up, he may be the commander-in-chief of all the military forces in Yanzhou. As for Fu.
When it comes to matters concerning the people, we can choose talented people from the shogunate to assist us."
Sima Pi's face lit up when he heard this.
Young man, who hasn't imagined the scene where he scolds Fang Qiu and commands Ruoding?
In a place as big as Yanzhou, there are many armies, and they can do whatever they want. It's so fun.
He looked at everyone eagerly to see who else supported him.
Liu Chou and He Sui looked at each other again and sighed secretly.
After a while, the two of them said in unison: "I would like to follow the orders of the general of the Zhenjun Army."
To be honest, I said this a little reluctantly.
Both of them were Xuzhou noblemen, and were Sima Yue's very trusted confidants, knowing that their own interests depended on Sima Yue.
But they were unsure whether the successor king, Sima Pi, was capable of protecting their interests.
But, then again, after all, Sima Pi is the flesh and blood of the first Situ, and there is a bit of affection between him and him, so the intimacy still exists.
If heavyweights like Pei Dun and Shao Xun had not come forward to support the heir, it would be fine. Now that they have clearly expressed their support, what else is there to say?
The emperor wants to liquidate everyone. If he doesn't surrender to the successor king, he will have to go south to Jianye and surrender to the king of Langya. After thinking about it, let's work in the successor king's shogunate for a while.
If it suits them, keep going. If it doesn't suit them, then leave.
After these two people expressed their stance, quite a few of the remaining officers also expressed their stance. As for those who did not express their stance, they were obviously unwilling to vote for a young man. Everyone had their own ambitions and could not do anything.
Shao Xun silently counted the heads and found that there were many people supporting and the momentum was great, which was enough.
While the support of the military is important, the support of the staff is even more important, because they are not just staff, but representatives of a wealthy family.
You can substitute the concepts of lord and vassal.
The aristocratic families are all local snakes, they have an army, they have wealth, they are well-known in the local area, and they have huge influence.
If they support you, it means that the place is generally stable.
If they oppose you, your will to rule will not be able to extend to that area smoothly.
This is one of the important reasons why many sect kings in the past vigorously recruited scholars.
Gou Xi is a negative example.
He was unpopular in Qingzhou - this "person" refers to the powerful nobles.
Of course, Gou Xi did not get the support of ordinary people in Qingzhou, and was even beaten and killed by the religious representative Tianshi Dao. It was true that he was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even if he won a few games at a time, he would eventually be defeated.
Shao Xun is a good example.
His background was too poor to attract the support of the scholars. Later, there were rumors of the coming of the Taibai Star Spirit, which gave his life experience a bit of a myth. In this way, he had a lot of success in the process of unifying the warriors.
improvement.
Otherwise, even if his political skills were better than those of Zhang Fang and Gou Xi, he would not be in the current situation.
Zhang Fang also wanted to make good friends with the scholars at first, but he was ridiculed and ridiculed by the scholars headed by Bi Yuan, a prominent member of the Hejian family. This road was blocked.
When Gou Xi first arrived in Qingzhou, he wanted to cheer up after hearing about it, but in the end it didn't seem to have much effect.
Zhang Fang is dead, and Gou Xi has reached this point, and his family background is a lingering shadow.
This is a long-term debuff that always exerts a negative impact, making you fall behind at the starting line in the competition with the scholars. Then you can race with a heavy load against the lightly-armed scholars. You can imagine the difficulty.
Born is the biggest golden finger in this era.
Concubine Pei watched silently from the side, seeing everyone express their opinions one after another, she choked and said: "My late husband passed away, but his legacy is still there. I will bear in mind the love of all the kings. However, the heir king is young and still needs the help of good talents——
"
Speaking of this, she looked at Yang Mao and said: "Mr. Yang is talented and loyal, and he sheds tears every time he writes a letter. I have been feeling emotional for a long time after reading it, and I want to repay you. Fan County officials assist the army and the people, or
You can also ask Duke Yang to be the governor, report to the court, and ask for your favor. In this way, I will be grateful."
When everyone heard this, they cursed secretly.
Yang Mao was the first to express his loyalty, and he actually received such great benefits.
However, even if they feel uncomfortable, they will not openly oppose it at this time, and will follow the crowd to express their agreement. Even some people who do not want to work in the Zhenjun General's Mansion and have made up their mind to leave do not mind being listed on the list.
Give us a name and form a good relationship.
After the matter was settled, only the details remained. Yang Hao planned to move the governor's office to Juancheng and take into account all parties.
The general's shogunate will definitely not be located in Fan County. As for where to move, Yang Hao doesn't care much. That is something that Concubine Pei and the heir king need to think about.
"The civil affairs have been completed, but there is still military affairs." Concubine Pei said again: "The armies in Fan County are in disarray and need to be reorganized as soon as possible to prepare for the incoming invaders. He, the two generals Liu, who understand the righteousness well, are the first to lead Situ.
My beloved general may be able to take on important responsibilities."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Shao Xun and said: "Chen Hou is a brave champion of the three armies and has won many battles. He can assist the counselors one or two."
Shao Xun was once a general of the Yue Prefecture, but he is no longer. To be honest, he is now a "general of the emperor's family", commanding thousands of people in the Yamen Army, so when Concubine Pei invited him, she used the word "assistant counselor" instead of "assistant counselor".
Give the order directly.
As for whether it is "assisting" or "leading", everyone knows - if you don't understand, just look at the Silver Spear Army all over the city.
It's fun to come here with such a big fanfare, right? He is the biggest supporter behind Concubine Pei and the King.
What's more, Wang Bing was right. He was Concubine Pei, the manipulator behind the throne, and used the name of Situ's widow and legitimate son to gain benefits.
He will definitely get his hands on the army.
Chapter completed!
