In the conference hall deep in the Yanzhou Governor's Department, Liu Dai was in charge, with a gloomy face and fiery eyes. There was a thin piece of silk lying on the desk in front of him. It was Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, who wrote in his own handwriting, talking about the Cavalry General Gai Jun.
Asking Yanzhou for money and food.
In the hall, Wang Yu, who was riding alone, and dozens of civil and military officials under Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, were silent.
"Bang..." Liu Dai slapped several cases fiercely, stood up, paced back and forth, and shouted angrily: "Gai Junshu bullied me too much, bullied me too much... Doesn't he know that the Jujube Alliance last year has already exhausted Yanzhou?"
Treasury and granary? If we get help, how can we dissolve the alliance..."
Liu Dai still couldn't relieve his anger in his heart, and shouted again: "Huh, what do you mean, if I hesitate, Han (Fu) Wenjie will be my fate. I am a noble clan member of the Han Dynasty. After King Xiao of Qi, how can I be afraid of the despicable soldiers? I want to see it."
, How did he conquer my great state?”
"..." Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Except for the governor of Shanyang and Yuan Yi, the brother of the Yuan Shao clan, the rest of the people here are from Yanzhou. Liu Dai is also an outsider after all. If the Hussar soldiers come and kill them, it will be Yanzhou who suffers.
people.
Wang Yu of Biejia saw that everyone was turning their attention to him, and he tried to persuade him: "Please calm down your anger. I want you to know that being so willful is playing into Gai Qiusi's arms." As the governor of Biejia, he was the leader of a state.
Of course, not everyone can be the leader. Wang Yu is in his forties this year. He has average appearance, a beautiful beard, and respects etiquette. He is the leading celebrity in Yanzhou. He was born in the Chenliu Wang family, and the Chenliu Wang family came from the Warring States Period.
Tian He, the founding monarch of the Qi Kingdom of the Tian clan, had gone through ups and downs for hundreds of years, but he never fell and became a powerful family in Chenliu.
Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, and other officials also gave advice.
"Hoo, ho..." Liu Dai returned to his seat after being invited by everyone. He just vented his anger because he was mercilessly slapped in the face by Gai Jun. He really didn't dare to confront Gai Jun, not to mention Gai Jun.
With a glorious record of invincibility in the past, this year alone, he has defeated Han Fu, Gongsun Zan, and Dong Zhuo in a row. Who in the world dares to compete with him?
Lord Bo Wanqian glanced at Liu Dai. He was Liu Dai's confidant. Long before the meeting, the two had colluded and communicated in private. Liu Dai was willing to compromise, but he couldn't say it himself, otherwise he would be hurt.
And prestige, this task naturally fell to Wan Qian. He organized some words and said eloquently: "Your Majesty, all gentlemen, please listen to what I say. The hussar general's military strength is so powerful that the world is unstoppable. From not long ago, we can attack
After taking away the Dong thieves and regaining Luoyang, we can see that if we use our full strength, we may not be able to kill the national thieves and save the emperor. However, as we all know, Bingzhou is poor and the Hussar is unable to save it. If we can temporarily help him with money and food, if there is someone
The country is being revitalized day by day, and Yan's achievements are in all the states. We are all heroes and our names will go down in history..."
After hearing this, Liu Dai pretended to mutter. The monarch and his ministers were in perfect harmony with each other. How could they not understand why? Xue Ti, the leader, took the opportunity to say: "What Wan Zhu Bo said is true. The tone of Gai Huqi's letter is stern. According to me,
My view is that I am short of money and food, and I am worried about Dong Da’s plan, not against the envoy."
Wang Yu also said: "However, in front of Sheji, what can't you let go of?"
When Liu Dai saw that the heat was almost over, he sighed and said, "If I hadn't been concerned about the affairs of the country, I would have competed with Gai Ying." After saying this, he turned to look at Bo Cao, who was engaged in Wang Kai, and asked, "Today's state capital
How much money and food do you have in the treasury?”
Wang Kai said without thinking: "Money is 240 million, food is 1.3 million shi."
Compared with Jizhou, there is a big gap between Yanzhou and Jizhou in terms of money and food. Yanzhou is located south of the Yellow River, with fertile land and a large population. Logically, the gap should not be so big, but Taishan Taishou Ying Shao and Jibei Prime Minister Bao
Xin refused to pay money and food on the pretext of being prepared to resist Qingxu Huangjin. Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, also cheated and secretly assisted Linjun, Cao Cao, the Fenwu general of the Lu state of Yuzhou, and Zhou Zhe, the governor of Yuzhou. In addition, the allied force of jujube last year really made the
The treasury is depleted, and it will take a year to recover.
Liu Dai frowned. In troubled times, food was more valuable than gold. There was not much food in Yanzhou. He just wanted to make a point. Anyway, the regulations of the imperial court did not specify how much food should be transported to Yanzhou every year. However, in order to prevent Gai Jun from going crazy, money
It is better to collect as much money as possible. Now the treasury has a total of 240 million yuan. If it loses 150 million yuan to Gai Jun, it will only have less than 100 million yuan left. This number is very dangerous, not to mention war disasters and a flood.
, a drought, an earthquake... any accident may put the state capital into a situation of "no rice to cook".
Liu Dai looked at Yuan Yi and said: "Bo Ye, you have also seen that the state capital does not have much money and food. Look at Shanyang County...".
"This..." Yuan Yi looked confused.
Liu Dai immediately lowered his face and said: "You were ordered by Yuan Benchu to secretly assist Cao Mengde and Zhou Renming. Although I did not come forward to help, I acquiesced in your actions. Now that the state government is in trouble, can Bo Ye really turn a blind eye?"
Yuan Yi's Shanyang County Office and the Yanzhou Governor's Office are both in Changyi. I'm afraid no one knows how much money he has in his treasury better than Liu Dai. It is difficult for him to rely on lies to keep his money bag, unless he wants to fight with Liu Dai.
Falling out. But that is not in line with Yuan Yi's character, and it is also not in line with Yuan Shao's interests.
Yuan Yi said for a long time: "There is still less than 30 million in Shanyang's treasury..." Liu Dai nodded. According to his understanding, Shanyang County roughly has this amount, maybe a little more. "I will pay half.
Does that make you think so?"
Liu Dai smiled happily and said: "Bo Ye's move greatly comforts my heart." Since Shanyang County is out, Taishan County, and Jibei Kingdom are unreasonable, and together they have about 40 to 50 million, this will be
This greatly reduced the pressure on him and the Yanzhou Governor's Department.
Liu Dai ordered everyone to retreat, studied ink and pen, wrote two letters and sent them to Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, and Ying Shao, the Grand Administrator of Taishan. After completing the instructions, he looked at the empty hall and let out a long sigh.
He is unwilling
But what can I do if I don’t give in?
Gai Jun's power is so powerful that people cannot resist.
Even if he dared to challenge Gai Jun, the people of Yanzhou did not dare. When Gai Jun arrived, the state's civil and military forces would definitely tie him up and ask him to surrender.
--------------------------
Yin, Fengshi County, Henan.
Gai Jun led an army of 10,000 people to tour Yin in Henan Province, passing through more than ten counties. Fengshi County, dozens of miles southeast of Luoyang, was the last stop. Arriving at the outskirts of Fengshi City that day, Gai Jun ordered the army to set up camp and was about to go to the county seat.
Suddenly he heard that Xun Yu had returned, with hundreds of followers. As soon as Gai Jun heard about it, he knew that he had achieved great results, so he immediately canceled his trip and welcomed him in person.
When Gai Jun arrived, Xun Yu and his party were accompanying Chen Ji into the camp. Chen Ji looked at the simple but neat camp and nodded secretly. In today's era, unless it is in the wilderness and has to build a camp, the army usually marches in directly.
Setting up camps in cities and villages, driving out villagers, stealing from chickens and dogs are all trivial. Killings and massacres occur from time to time. Gai Jun's army does not enter cities or villages, but builds camps in the suburbs. This is the best general in the world.
The style you should have.
Chen Ji's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he saw a young man in colorful clothes striding toward him surrounded by feathers, tigers, swords, and swords. He was cheering in unison and the ceremony was grand. The lines on this man's face revealed the traces of a northwester.
He was resolute and handsome, with two swords flying diagonally into his temples under his eyebrows, and his eyes were so piercing that no one dared to look directly at him.
There is no doubt that this person is General Gai Jun.
Chen Ji was slightly surprised. He had never seen Gai Jun's face. He had known that he was just in his thirties, but he thought that Gai Jun had been fighting on the battlefield all day long and was famous. He must be young and mature. Otherwise, how could he intimidate all the arrogant soldiers?
A strong man? Now it seems that his appearance is several years younger than his own age, as if he is in his mid-twenties. However, he does not have the frivolity that belongs to his age. Instead, he is so majestic that people can't help but ignore him.
age.
The eyes of Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun and others all lit up. Any previous descriptions and descriptions of Gai Jun seemed pale and feeble at this moment. There are only a handful of people who have achieved success and fame at the age of thirty. Throughout the ages, Dong Zhuo, this year has
After sixty, Gai Jun is only half of the opponent's, even if it is a waste, the opponent will be killed.
Chen Ji also thought the same way. As long as Gai Jun is willing to save the country, things will be harmonious.
Gai Jun came over with a loud smile, held Xun Yu's hand and said, "Wen Ruo seems to have gained a lot from this trip. Why don't you introduce me to the sages from your county?" Gai Jun looked at everyone and nodded as he spoke.
He paid tribute so that everyone could feel his attention, and finally it rested on Chen Ji. The latter was the oldest, and also walked in the front, and had a grace that was difficult to match. He must be a high-ranking scholar.
Jun vaguely guessed who the other party was, but he was not sure.
Xun Yu smiled and said: "General, this is Chen Yuanfang of Xu County."
Gai Jun said "Ah!" and met Chen Jili, saying: "I have admired Chen Jun for a long time, and I regret not being able to meet him once. In the fourth year of Zhongping (187 AD), my respected father Taiqiu died of illness, and he was alone in the north. He had no time to take care of himself, so he had to entrust his father-in-law to him.
Gai Jun's father-in-law, Cai Yong, is a specialist in epitaphs for high officials of the Han Dynasty. It is natural that the inscription on Chen Taiqiu was written by him. With the help of Cai Yong, Gai Jun got closer to each other in just one sentence.
distance between.
Chen Jihan said with a smile: "The general is responsible for the country's border areas, keeping the Qiang at home, and guarding the Xianbei outside. He has the responsibility to protect the people. Although my father's funeral is heavy, it is not as good as the people's."
Gai Jun shook his head and sighed: "Chen Jun's words really make me feel ashamed."
Chen Jifu said: "The general is too humble. The merits of a general are rare in the Han Dynasty. If he can kill the Dong thieves and inspire the country, he will be comparable to Han and Geng, or even better."
"..." Gai Jun's pupils shrank. Han Xin was the chief general of the great ancestor Liu Bang, and Geng Yan was the chief general of Guangwu Liu Xiu. Both of them were able to conquer half of the country. Chen Ji compared the two, and his evaluation was not low. However, this
There is also something worth pondering in the middle. Han Xin rebelled and died, while Geng Yan died a good death. Their endings were completely different. Was Chen Ji giving me a subtle warning?...
