Shenpei is handling the government affairs of Jin State.
Yuan Shao established himself as the Queen of Jin, and became the Shangshu Ling of the Jin Kingdom. He took charge of the Shangshu table and became Yuan Shao's number one confidant.
Whenever Yuan Shao went on an expedition, Shen Pei would sit in the rear.
This time Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan with the same arrangement. Yuan Shao took away Jushou, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and Xu You, leaving Shenpei to sit in the rear and handle the government affairs of the Jin state.
As a minister of Yuan Shao, Shen Pei was conscientious and diligent in his work. He often stayed at the Chancellor's desk late at night to handle government affairs. However, Shen Pei had a strong personality and was not broad-minded enough.
Among the officials of the Jin State, Shen Pei's reputation was not very good and he could not unite the officials below. However, Yuan Shao trusted Shen Pei as always and let Shen Pei take charge of the government affairs of the Jin State.
As a result, there has never been any change in the trial match.
The judge looked through the government affairs and looked at the memorials handed out one after another. Suddenly he saw a memorial, and his eyes turned cold. Because the memorial he received was for impeachment of Xu You's family.
Xu You's youngest son relied on Xu You's identity to extort money from the businessman. When he failed to get money, he beat the businessman to death.
"Over and over again, like father, like son."
Shen Pei spoke coldly.
He wrote the words "dispose according to law" on the memorial.
Looking at the conclusion of the legal punishment, the judge originally wanted to re-write a severe punishment to set an example, but he thought that at the time of the battle with Gongsun Zan on the front line, Xu You's youngest son would be dealt with severely now, which would inevitably lead to Xu You's resentment, which would easily
Disengagement and morality.
Act according to law and have taken care of Xu You.
Thinking of this, the judge's wife showed a trace of complacency on his face. He is really broad-minded and upright. Based on the conflict between him and Xu You, and with the help of Xu You's son's crime, he can be severely punished and involve Xu You's family.
.
However, he still acted in accordance with the law.
Thinking of this, Shen Pei complained that Xu You was narrow-minded and not big-hearted.
The judge put aside the memorial and continued to deal with other memorials. The judge never delayed the memorials submitted on the same day. No matter how late it was, he would handle it on the same day and then arrange it.
While the examiner was processing the documents, an attendant hurried in and reported: "Examiner, Xiahou Dun arranged for someone to deliver the letter."
"Hand it over."
The judge gave an order.
The attendant handed over the letter, and the judge took it over to look at it. He quickly browsed it and smiled coldly after reading it.
Xiahou Dun asks for help?
What a joke, how could he send troops to aid Xiahou Dun?
Today's Dongjun seems to be the only territory left in Yanzhou. In fact, Xiahou Dun's troops are all in Yan County, and there is almost no loss. Yu Jin's troops have also returned to Dongjun, and there is no loss.
According to the estimate of the judge, Xiahou Dun still has at least 20,000 elites in his hands.
In this case, it is impossible for the judge to send troops.
At present, Yuan Shao is attacking Gongsun Zan in the north, and the situation is dragging on. It has not been very optimistic. If Shenpai wants to send troops, he will send troops first to support Yuan Shao, and it is impossible to support Xiahou Dun.
The judge picked up his pen and wrote a letter to refuse.
His argument was that Jizhou was currently in many difficulties and had insufficient troops, so he could not divide his troops to support Xiahou Dun. He asked Xiahou Dun for his understanding.
At the end of Shen Pei's letter, he changed his tone and said that at this stage, what Shen Pei can support Xiahou Dun is some offensive and defensive materials, and he will also arrange for people to give Xiahou Dun some bows and arrows, armor and knives.
In addition, a batch of food will also be sent south.
This is the reply from the trial match.
Just when Shen Pei had finished writing the letter and was waiting for the ink to dry and was preparing to send it away, another attendant came in with a frightened look and said loudly: "Shang Shu, something serious has happened."
Shen Pei scolded: "How can you be so flustered? The people at my Shangshu desk are in the center and are dealing with the government affairs of the Jin State. They are all so unsure. When the King of Jin comes back and sees it, what will he think of me?
tower?"
The attendant was hunched over, looking frightened. The matter was urgent and he had to report it immediately. However, the matchmaking was an order of the Shangshu, which controlled the fate of everyone in the Shangshutai.
The attendant did not dare to refute.
When the judge saw the attendant bowing to admit his mistake, he changed the subject and asked, "What's causing such a panic?"
The attendant quickly said: "Reporting to the Minister of Review, Kuai Liang arranged for General Zang Ba to lead troops into Chonghe County, Bohai County. Now, Chonghe County has been captured by Zang Ba, and Kuai Liang's army has entered Bohai County."
boom!!
There seemed to be thunder exploding in Shen Pei's mind, and his mind was buzzing.
He was absent-minded for a moment, and after a long while he came back to his senses. He put his hands on the desk, stared at the attendant, and asked: "Where did the news come from? All along, Kuai Liang's army has been in Pingyuan County.
Our people are also keeping an eye on Kuai Liang, why did his army go to Bohai County?"
The attendant noticed the red eyes of the judge, and when he saw the hysterical expression, he cursed in his heart.
There was still a look of fear on his face.
The attendant quickly said: "Replying to the Minister, there is currently discussion outside, and there are also people talking in the Chancery. After hearing the news, the villain hurriedly came to report. The specific situation is not very clear. It is just anecdotal information, and it cannot be false.
, because it makes no sense.”
After hearing this, the judge fell into deep thought and sat down silently.
The attendants were even more frightened.
If I had known about it earlier, I would not have come to report it. I thought I had seized some opportunity, but I didn't expect that the matchmaker looked at a loss.
After a long while, Shen Pei waved his hand and the attendant withdrew.
The judge came to his senses and immediately sent someone to verify. Not long after, he received confirmed news from the sentry.
Knowing that there could be no further delay, Shen Pei ordered: "When someone comes, please inform General Chunyu Qiong to come and discuss matters."
Chun Yuqiong is Yuan Shao's confidant and good friend. When Yuan Shao was in Luoyang, Chun Yuqiong had already supported Yuan Shao and was Yuan Shao's direct confidant. Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were stronger than Chun Yuqiong; Zhang He had a superior command of troops.
Even more powerful than Chunyu Qiong.
However, Chunyu Qiong's status is still higher.
Yuan Shao led his army northward, leaving Chunyu Qiong behind to lead the troops to guard Yecheng to ensure the safety of Yecheng.
The attendant went to notify him, but not long after, he saw Chunyu Qiong, wearing armor, striding into the room, cupping his fists and saying: "Inspection of the minister's book."
Shen Pei did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "General Chunyu, we have just received news that Kuai Liang sent General Zang Ba to attack Chonghe County in Bohai County and has captured the county seat."
Chunyu Qiong's eyes were sharp, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Does Shangshu Shen mean to let me lead the troops to defeat Zang Ba?"
"Yes, that's what it means."
Shen Pei looked serious and said: "There are more than 20,000 defenders in Yecheng. You take 10,000 elite troops and rush to Bohai County to recapture Chonghe County. Even if it is impossible to recapture it, you must block Zang Ba's offensive and stabilize the situation.
"
"I will report the news to the king immediately and ask the king to make arrangements."
"I also received a letter from Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun still has 10,000 or 20,000 elite men. He hopes to send troops with us to help him. It is simply a fool's dream."
"Now that Xiahou Dun has stalled Zhou Yu's offensive in Yanzhou, you go to Bohai County to block Zang Ba's offensive. Once the king defeats Gongsun Zan, we can make arrangements calmly and attack Lu Xuan's army with all our strength."
Shen Pei solemnly said: "General Chunyu, we will win this battle, do you understand?"
"Guaranteed to complete the task."
Chunyu Qiong answered without hesitation.
He left in a hurry.
Shen Pei looked at Chunyu Qiong's leaving figure, glanced at the letter he was going to send to Xiahou Dun, and thought about changing it to talk about the affairs of Bohai County. But then he thought about it, Xiahou Dun must have got the news, and there was no need to explain anything, just
Just ask someone to send the letter away.
Shen Pei wrote another letter, explaining the situation in Bohai County, Xiahou Dun's situation, and clarifying the current situation. Finally, Shen Pei said that everything in the rear was stable and operating normally, so Yuan Shao did not have to worry.
At the same time, Shenpei also promised to go north to supply Yuan Shao with grain and grass supplies for the battle, etc., and promised that there would be no problem. In Shenpei's letter, there was no intention to urge Yuan Shao, but he clearly stated the situation on the rear.
Yuan Shao would naturally be anxious.
This is the intention of the trial match.
The letters for trial and distribution were sent out of Yecheng, at an accelerated speed of 800 miles, towards the battlefield of Yijing in Youzhou in the north.
