Xun Yu glanced at Yuan Shu again, and his originally heavy mood suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Yuan Shu is right. When it comes to judgments of the emperor, they may not be as good as Yuan Shu.
Liu Biao was not sure, he was not sure, but Yuan Shu was the most accurate.
"When do you think the emperor will fight west?"
"The possibility is not high within ten years." Yuan Shu said with confidence with his chest straight.
"Why?"
"It's so far. If something happens, he doesn't drive Zaofu, and he will have a thousand miles a day. Before the Western Expedition, he must arrange the government. If nothing else, Sijun must have it? Last time the queen was ill and her health had just recovered, but she hasn't.
It's not that fast to conceive again."
Yuan Shu's eyes rolled and he suddenly smiled. "You won't expect the eldest son to succeed to the throne, do you?"
Xun Yu shook his sleeves and left without looking back.
It is difficult for people like Yuan Shu to maintain a positive shape. However, one thing is that Yuan Shu makes sense. Before arranging the successor, there is little possibility of the emperor's expedition in the West.
He has put in so much effort and will never give up on his mistakes.
No matter how good the Western Regions are, can they still beat the Han Dynasty?
"Hey." Yuan Shu chased after him and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied with your successor?"
Xun Yu said without looking back: "I haven't seen it yet, and I don't know who it is."
"Don't know?" Yuan Shu was shocked, took two steps, blocked Xun Yu's way, stared at Xun Yu and looked again and nodded. "So, the emperor still takes good care of your face."
"What do you mean?" Xun Yu frowned.
Yuan Shu blinked and showed a sly smile. "The one who took over Hedong Prefect was Cheng Yu. He took office before the Chinese New Year. He didn't go to Anyi to hand over to you. He might have gone to another place and made some preparations."
Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and a cold air rose from his back and rushed straight to the back of his head.
The emperor arranged for Cheng Yu to take over as the prefect of Hedong?
Cheng Yu went to Hedong, but did not hand over official duties with him, but went to another place to prepare?
Xun Yu could guess what preparations Cheng Yu could make. He now understood a little. No wonder the Hedong garrison was surprisingly quiet before the New Year, and he didn't even ask for rewards every year.
Seeing Xun Yu's face changing, Yuan Shu was envious and said a sound in his mouth.
"The emperor really saves you face."
——
The news that Cheng Yu took over as the prefect of Hedong was too shocked. Xun Yu was a little uneasy at the reception banquet.
After the banquet, Mrs. Tang asked with concern.
Xun Yu told the situation, and Mrs. Tang was also a little surprised after hearing this.
She still knows a little about who Cheng Yu is, and she has heard many people say it before.
It seems that the emperor is really going to attack Hedong when he sent such a ruthless person to Hedong. Before that, it was not common to hide Xun Yu so tightly.
Is it because I am afraid that Xun Yu will not leave if he is worried about the safety of the Hedong clan?
I was still afraid that Xun Yu would not look good in appearance, so I deliberately did not let him know who the successor was.
Generally speaking, there will be a message of the successor on the appointment and removal notice.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu still made some sense. The emperor really took care of Xun Yu's face.
"Wenruo, don't think too much. Yuan Shu can only believe half of the time he opened his mouth. The emperor may have other arrangements, but it may not be related to you."
Xun Yu nodded, but said nothing.
——
Just as Xun Yu was worried about gains and losses, Cheng Yu walked into Anyi City, took over as Hedong Yin, and announced something.
Cultivate the county soldiers.
He wanted to check the training of the soldiers in Hedong County to see if they were lazy in the past few years.
The time schedule is very tight, and the first day of the announcement will be held and the next day of the review will be held.
The Anyi clans who came to greet them all found it absurd.
It is not so easy to review. Even soldiers from a county need time to summon them. Without three or five days, there is no preparation work at all.
But they soon knew why Cheng Yu was so confident.
The county soldiers who participated in the school review were outside the city and followed Cheng Yu. Before Cheng Yu took office, he had already gone to the garrisons of each battalion and met with the county soldiers and generals.
In addition to the seal and ribbon of Hedong Yin, he also had the emperor's order, so he could directly mobilize the Hedong garrison.
The main force of the Hedong army was Bai Bo army. After being recruited by the emperor, he arranged to farm near Anyi. He has lived a good life in recent years, and his gratitude to the emperor turned into loyalty. He was full of resentment for the Hedong clan who refused to pass the field.
.
The Hedong clan who came to greet him was caught off guard and was invited by Cheng Yu to the school review site, stood on the stage, and watched the county soldiers' drill together.
The county soldiers were full of murderous aura and their roars were shocking, making them numb and their legs weak.
After the drill, Cheng Yu asked the representatives of the clan one by one what they thought of Du Tian. His thumb was deliberately or unintentionally holding the knife ring, and a piece of sharp blade appeared and appeared in his palm, which made people frightened.
After weighing the possibility of Cheng Yu's murder, these Hedong tribes made wise choices, strongly agreed with Dutian, willing to hand over all the extra land, and make up for the taxes owed in the past ten years.
Cheng Yu was very satisfied and immediately announced that in order to commend these great families' profound wisdom and support for the court, he would recommend their children to the court as Lang, and follow the selected elite troops in the army to join the Emperor's Imperial Guard.
The Hedong clan was in tears.
This is not a shortcut to becoming an official, it is a hostage.
But when facing Cheng Yu, no one dared to jump out and object, so he could only force his face to smile and express his strong gratitude to Cheng Fuyin.
In just a few days, nearly 100 Hedong children set out and rushed to the journey with the soldiers who performed well in the school.
Behind them, Dutian also spread out in full swing. Cheng Yu suddenly had thousands of hectares of land, which he used to settle for the Xianbei and Xiongnu prisoners who had been surrendered for five years and could be naturalized according to regulations.
This matter has been prepared since the beginning of last year. Because there was no sufficient land, the progress has been unfast. Some people were sent to Hongnong, south of the river to resettlement.
Now, Cheng Yu took half a month to solve the problem.
But this is not the end.
After solving the problem of Dutian, Cheng Yu did not disband the county soldiers who participated in the review, but led them to a whole county inspection. Every time he went to a county, he would invite the big families in the county to visit and review the county soldiers.
Conduct offensive and defensive drills.
It's almost like the word threat to write on your face.
But Cheng Yu was not all threatened by force, and he would also use Huairou methods. When he walked around the county and was preparing to return, several Hedong people represented by Jiangyi Chang Jia Kui received the transfer order.
Jia Kui was transferred to the Order of Anyi, and his brother-in-law Liu Fu became the Gongcao of the County.
When the news came out, the tense heartstrings of the Hedong clan finally relaxed a little.
At least there is no danger of being made into jerky by Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu had a good grasp of the time. When he returned to Anyi, it was the beginning of spring plowing. The people who had just obtained the land were full of energy and devoted themselves to the spring plowing with a hundred times more enthusiasm.
When the news reached Henan, Xun Yu, who had been paying attention to the situation in Hedong, sighed quietly.
There is both relief and regret.
He pondered for the middle of the night, and then submitted a memorial to the emperor.
After deeply reviewing his appeasement, he tactfully stated that if all counties take Cheng Yu as an example, there will be no way to voluntarily save the field, and the previous promise will be gone. More people will use force to force it.
