Almost on the same footing as Yu Chen, a few days later, Shao Xun received the news that Yu Min had died of illness in Luoyang.
These cousins ​​can be companions on the road.
There is no need for him to worry about Yu Chen's funeral.
Taichang Temple and Pingyang County work together to ensure that the etiquette and expenses are not lacking, and even the guests are properly arranged for you.
Three days later, the little one was finished, the big one was put into the coffin, and the body was laid to rest in the prime minister's house.
As a result, the number of guests in the mansion increased, and within a month, famous people from Hedong, Hongnong, Xihe, Taiyuan, Shangdang, Fengyi, and even Shangjun, Diaoyin and other places came in droves.
Most people came here on an impromptu basis after hearing that King Liang was here.
Although King Liang only summoned them and said a few words, those who came felt that the trip was worthwhile because their status seemed to be guaranteed-in fact, everyone got what they needed, and Shao Xun also needed the help of these local snakes.
Allegiance.
By mid-May, guests from near and far had basically come.
Yu Liang prepared to return to Yingchuan and be buried in early September, but Shao Xun had no objection.
During this period of time, he had been with Yu Wenjun, caring about her mood and feeling her grief.
When the weather is nice, I will take her to Shanglin Garden to relax, like today.
The two of them sat side by side on the grassy slope, looking at a clear spring at the foot of the mountain.
The spring water is blue, and several flocks of sheep are happily grazing beside the spring pool.
The horses moved their heads and tails, chasing each other, and occasionally neighing.
On the left side, half are pines and cypresses, and half are mixed with liquidambar.
Quiet, remote and comfortable, it is probably the kind of secluded place close to nature that scholars like.
Shao Xun also liked it very much, but he could only come and stay for a few days when he could relax. Most of his energy was destined to be devoted to worldly affairs.
After looking at the scenery for a while, Shao Xun looked back and suddenly realized that Yu Wenjun in his arms had been looking at him.
After seeing him looking over, Yu Wenjun buried his face in his arms and said softly: "I forgive you————."
Ah? Shao Xun was a little surprised. It turns out that his little wife has been having problems with him recently?
"Forgive what?" Shao Xun asked.
Yu Wenjun only shook his head and said nothing.
Shao Xun didn't ask further questions, he probably understood what was going on.
It seems that he performed too well during this period and deposited a lot of money in Yu Wenjun's account, which made some of his previous "unnatural" actions in Yu Wenjun's eyes downplayed.
However, I just forgive him for his previous behavior of playing word games, and he will not give up on his demands.
"Okay, okay, okay." Shao Xun said: "When I went to war, I relied on my beloved wife to take care of the family business so that I would have no worries. I owe you. The days are still long, and you and I must always support each other.
Keep walking."
"There are too many people supporting you, and you don't even have enough hands." Yu Wenjun whispered.
Shao Xun knew that if he spoke too much at this time, he would be wrong, and if he spoke less, he would be wrong. If he didn't say anything, he would be right. He just gently stroked Yu Wenjun's shoulder and said nothing.
The couple sat quietly for a long time.
It was only when the sun set over the western mountains that I got up and returned.
If not, Shao Thief can make things happen. When a woman is depressed, sad, and hesitant, if you accompany her and comfort her, the effect will be much better than asking for help on weekdays.
He accompanies his young wife every day, and his relationship warms up rapidly compared to the previous two years, and the harem is barely stable.
****
During his stay in Pingyang, Shao Xun also approved several major military and political affairs.
Jin Zheng, the general of Zhenxi, went up to Shu, and Lu Song was more than Hehuang. He killed the pseudo-Han Jiuquan king Shi Wu and Shi Le's general Zhang Jing and others, and captured Shi Le. Shi Hu only led more than a hundred riders to flee west and defected to the Tufa clan of Xianbei in Hexi (Tuoba
Descendants of Pigu).
Shao Xun Xu Lusongduo led his troops back home and became the general of Huangshi Town. The Huangshi Tu tribes led by his nephew were returned to Lu Songduo. Huangshi Town is located in today's Pengyang County.
There is another "wonderful thing"!
Yang, the governor of Julu, volunteered to go west to Guanzhong and monitor the barbarians in Guanxi for the imperial court. There was only one condition: let him be the general.
After Shao Xun read it, he realized that it was not true that others said that sheep are cruel and murderous.
This guy is really a pain in the ass, he has a hard time, and he has to fight and kill him.
OK, I’ll satisfy you!
So with a stroke of his pen, the sheep were appointed as the generals of the town of Yinmi (today's west of Lingtai County). The court only gave good horses, equipment and some money and silk. Chang'an could allocate some grain, farm tools, and cattle, but the sheep had to recruit their own manpower.
There are a bunch of Lu Shui Hu, Tu Ge Hu, Xiu Tu Hu, Shi Qiang and even the remnants of the Huns who Liu Han moved here to monitor Zhu Hu. Whether he can hold his own depends on his ability.
Jin Zheng's memorial also mentioned that Guanzhong will organize a crusade against Yang Nandi's brothers this year because Yinping County was lost again.
Shao Xun agreed.
A careful calculation of Kim Jong's military strength shows that it is actually not many.
He selected more than 10,000 Hu Han warriors in Chang'an, distributed them with fields, and stationed them under the city of Chang'an. This was his main force.
There are also Dou Yuzhen's 3,000 Xianbei cavalry stationed in Huangbaicheng, and the Huns soldiers guarding the Xiongnu Zhonglang General Jin Zhun. They can recruit up to 7,000 cavalry, but the overall strength is relatively weak.
Shao Xun thought for a while and transferred Zhao Wei's troops from Hei Shao's right battalion west to Chang'an, temporarily under the command of Jin Zheng.
This unit was only established two years ago, and its only combat experience was last year when it crossed the river and marched westward, fighting with the remnants of the Xiongnu in the ravines of Shangjun. Most of them were attacking forts, and there were also a few encounters on tunnels and mountain passes.
The experience is not rich and comprehensive enough, and more practice is needed.
Nanyang Lekai decided to recruit more than 30,000 men from various counties to attack Guoyang in June.
Shao Xun ordered the Guanzhong nobles and Hu chieftains to gather ten thousand men and march out of Wuguan into Nanyang. The Runan Qiang sent three thousand troops, and sent another proton army south from Luoyang, all under the command of Le Kai.
Guoyang is not that easy to fight, and Tao Kan is also a very capable person. There is a high chance that this battle will end in vain.
But these battles will always have to be fought. If we don’t fight them now, we will fight them even after the founding of the country.
Fighting now will consume the enemy's strength, and it will be easier after the founding of the country, and maybe it can be defeated.
The last thing is that Zu Miao died.
Zu Yue temporarily commanded his army and stationed it in Guangling.
Now there are more and more news coming from Jiangdong. Just like Cao Cao's staff who communicated with Yuan Shao during the Battle of Guandu, Shao Xun has a lot of letters in his hand.
Naturally, the news from there is becoming more and more timely and accurate.
I heard that the Jianye shogunate planned to make Liu Kun the governor of Xuzhou and command its army. But it was just a rumor, and no substantial action had been seen yet. Maybe Sima Rui, Director Wang and the others were also weighing in, and the preliminary preparations must be done in case something happens.
Did Zuo break his promise?
Once he was beaten to the edge of the Yangtze River, Jianye would be in danger.
After Shao Xun read it, he sent someone to contact Fan Yangzu to see if he could be roped in.
Even Liu Kun is not unforgivable.
As long as you are willing to surrender, it won't be a problem. The Liu family in Zhongshan still has clan members, so they can still restore their former glory. It depends on whether Liu Kun wants to do it or not.
****
At the end of May, Shao Xun returned to Luoyang and formally appointed Wang Yan as Prime Minister of Liang State, assuming overall power.
I don’t plan to replace the court officials. Anyway, the court officials have not been in full order for so many years.
The founding of the People's Republic of China was imminent, and the following teams were merged and hired on the basis of merit. There were many people.
On the first day of June, Shao Xun received the envoy from Liangzhou in Xiyuan, Luoyang.
"Whoosh!" From the galloping horse, an arrow flew out and shot down the wild deer jumping and wandering in the grass.
Shao Xun smiled at Bei Gongchun and said, "The warriors under the general are still so strong."
This was a compliment, but Bei Gongchun shook his head and said: "The Xiliang soldiers are still the same as before, but the Kwantung soldiers have made rapid progress.
It’s different.”
Shao Xun laughed and said, "Sanlang is too modest."
Of course, he didn't deny this either.
Whenever troubled times begin, the inland soldiers who have been at peace for many years are always the weakest, while the frontier troops are very brave and often cut melons and vegetables when they break into Henan.
What if the troubled times last for a period of time? That may not be the case.
At the beginning of the late Han Dynasty, the Henan soldiers were not very good, but Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was fierce and resistant.
The troubled times of the country began, and the soldiers from Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, Yongzhou and other places were fighting back and forth, and the rookies were pecking at each other, so the combat effectiveness of the Luoyang Chinese Army was passable.
But after so many years of fighting, the Luoyang Central Army has been exhausted, but the world soldiers and even the peasant soldiers who originally only knew how to cultivate the land have gradually improved.
Back then, Beigong was able to select hundreds of Xiliang warriors and beat Wang Mi to tears. Now, even the Tian Shefu recruited from Henan may not be able to succeed easily.
In history, during the Anshi Rebellion, Henan had not seen any fighting for more than a hundred years, and it was a complete mess. However, after the vassal towns were separated, the combat effectiveness increased day by day, and Zhu Wen was finally involved.
Henan soldiers have always been very useful, and Shao Xun relied on them to become the elite of the country. Of course, after many years of peace, it was a different story.
Bei Gongchun now felt that the soldiers in the Central Plains were advancing rapidly and their combat power was tyrannical, especially the infantry.
"If your Majesty goes to Xiliang with this army, he may not be able to defeat us." Beigong Chun sighed: "In the past, Han Sui and Ma Chao occupied the pass, but they were still defeated by Cao Mengde. Now even Longxi has been captured by the Xiongnu, and they are invincible in repeated battles.
But the king swept across the Xiongnu. Compared with the two, the chance of victory is even less."
"Haha, you are sincere." Shao Xun said with a smile: "However, there are very few people like you in Liangzhou, so why not."
Bei Gongchun was speechless and could only sigh.
Shao Xun looked at his expression and knew that the other person was speaking softly and there was nothing he could do, so he stopped forcing the honest man and instead held his hand.
He said: "I said goodbye after the Battle of Gaoping in the past, and I haven't seen him for more than ten years. I am alone in Henan, and I miss the general very much."
"A general is also a general in the court, but the post of governor is too unfair to the general. With your talent, even a middle-ranking general can do it," Shao Xun said.
"Your Majesty, you have given me too much praise." Bei Gongchun was shocked and said repeatedly.
Shao Xun pretended to be displeased and said: "Sanlang and I have an old relationship. Have you forgotten the friendship we had when we fought together in the past? You have forgotten, but I have not. Now that I have succeeded, those who have an old relationship with me should be rich and honorable."
Could it be that Saburo has forgotten our old friendship and is unwilling to help me?"
Bei Gongchun looked at Shao Xun's sincere and earnest eyes and didn't know what to say.
Subconsciously, I felt that this was not good, but what was the identity of King Liang? He thought about the friendship back then and said that he had never forgotten it, and he wanted to give you wealth and honor. The atmosphere had reached this point, and it was hard to say rejection for a while.
To be honest, Bei Gongchun never knew that the friendship back then was so valuable.
Maybe there are other factors mixed in, but King Liang is giving you face like this, do you really want to break up with him?
If you are not loyal to Zhang Jun, you really can't refuse. After all, he is an official of the Jin Dynasty, and King Liang is also an official of the Jin Dynasty. Recruiting him in the name of the Jin Dynasty may not be considered betraying the master -
Shao Xun observed his words and realized that Bei Gongchun was shaken, so he smiled and said: "Let's go, since we hunted the deer, let's roast the meat together today and talk about our farewells."
"Okay." Bei Gongchun agreed thoughtfully.
Chapter completed!
