41. Change
After dealing with Kong Ling's funeral, Fang Xia took over Qian Jun by the way.
Before that, Fang Xia had visited Xu Chu once and thanked him for his help.
Xu Chu received Fang Xia this time, and the two talked about it, which could be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.
After solving this problem, Fang Xia held a meeting to discuss the future strategy of Qian County.
Since all the people present were his own people, Fang Xia spread the news that he had been named the pastor of Yuzhou.
covered the holy decree of the jade seal, and no one dared to question it in these years. Yuzhou Mu has the position of commanding a state, and it is already an expedient measure to work part-time as Xuchang Taishou, and if there are more talents in the future, he will definitely have to divide the officials, of course, he can't also be a county guard, Fang Xia naturally put the Taishou on Zhong Xuan's head.
Zhong Xuan was born in a family, he was once raised to filial piety, successively served as Shang Shulang, Huangmen Shilang, and was a serious minister of the Son of Heaven, if it were not for the fact that the hundred officials of the Han Dynasty, including Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, were held hostage by Dong Zhuo and lost his authority. With his qualifications, no one will oppose this Taishou.
Later, Xia delegated power to let Zhong Xuan appoint the rest of the positions, she did not participate, as a taishou, she should have the right to make decisions in one place, and there was no need to ask the officials for everything. If she didn't show her trust in Zhong Xuan, when Fang Xia returned to Xuchang, Zhong Xuan would probably not be able to sit in this position. So now we must give Zhong Xuan a chance to stand up.
In fact, regarding the size of the appointment of officials, Zhong Xuan had also discussed it with Fang Xia before, and Fang Xia knew it in his heart.
Zhong Xuan followed the previous discussion, first of all, the three important ministers of military division, internal affairs, and military affairs arranged Xu Jing, Liang Xi and Xu Chu respectively. Xu Jing was originally an important military advisor, and now in addition to the Taishou, he has no way to be promoted, so he can only remain in this position, and he will be sealed and rewarded in the future.
Although Xu Chu was in charge of military power before, but because his background was too low, he had been promoted from a white body to an official before, so he was still an ordinary official before. As for Liang Xi, he is not qualified enough, he has been working hard under Xu Jing before, but now because of the lack of manpower, he has also been promoted exceptionally.
Xu Jing watched Zhong Xuan announce the appointment with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Chu was a little annoyed in his heart, after he made the move of admitting Fang Xia's Taishou, he went back and was surrounded and scolded by the fathers and villagers in the clan, all of them were villagers, and even some of them were his elders, watching him grow up, in the Han Dynasty, which ruled the world with filial piety, Xu Chu had the world's martial arts, and he couldn't beat them all to death with a fist, so he could only listen to them with an unhappy face.
In fact, Xu Chu made this decision, and he also regretted it a little, after all, favorability does not mean a qiē, there are many people who have become big things throughout the ages, not to mention that they have a good feeling, even true love can be killed to show you. But Xu Chu's temperament was already a little twisted, and when many people were questioning that he was confused and that there was something wrong with his decision, Xu Chu was really unhappy.
Xu Chu launched his magic skills, you can do it, don't bb if you can't do it.
These people know that without Xu Chu, they are just a plate of scattered sand, and the Yellow Turban Army may not be able to prevent it at the beginning, let alone the current situation. And in the current situation, Xu Chu seems to have recognized Fang Xia's boss as a leader, and after they rebounded, they felt that now the military power was still in Xu Chu's hands, and this ending was not too bad, and it was barely acceptable.
In this way, the matter is finally revealed.
Liang Xi's talent in internal affairs is actually not bad, but he has no reputation, that is, he is better than Xu Jing in internal affairs, Xu Jing is also his boss, and he has no chance to get ahead. Now that he has been promoted, he seems to be a little excited, saying that he will work hard to do a good job in internal affairs and not let Shangguan be distracted.
The people of Qianjun don't seem to care about changing a Taishou, and the days should be passed.
In this way, these things are barely dealt with, even if there are some discordant sounds, it is not painful.
However, just as Fang Xia was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she received a piece of news that shocked her.
Fang Xia looked at the herald in amazement and said, "What did you say?"
The herald lowered his head and said respectfully: "Back to Lord Diao Chan's words, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou are coming to our side, and their target seems to be Qiaojun. Here's the information, so please take a look at it. ”
Fang Xia took the information and opened it to watch.
Zhong Xuan watched from the sidelines.
War came in such an inadvertent situation.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion had passed, and after the alliance of the princes to fight Dong was dispersed, the world was basically calm. However, it was only generally calm, and there was still friction between the small remnants of the Yellow Turban Party and individual princes. In the area of Xiaopei in Xuzhou, there is the remnant of the yellow turban led by Guan Hai, which is still wandering.
Originally, Guan Hai should have crossed Xuzhou and bypassed Beihai to besiege Kong Rong not long after, and then Kong Rong sent Tai Shici of Donglai to ask for help from Liu Bei in the plain, so Liu Bei came to the rescue of Kong Rong, drove away the Yellow Turban, and officially stepped on the stage of Xuzhou, laying the foundation for him to inherit Tao Qian's Xuzhou in the future.
But now, probably due to Fang Xia's involvement, the situation has changed.
Now that spring and summer are alternate, there is no green and yellow, it is supposed to be a time of lack of food, and Guan Hai is a yellow turban thief wandering around, and they are short of food. Xuzhou Tao Qian is in charge, and the food is sufficient, but at the same time as the food is sufficient, the soldiers are naturally not easy to bully. Now this group of yellow-faced and skinny guys, if they go to attack the city, although they will not starve to death, they will definitely die in battle.
Guan Hai tried to attack a wave of cities, wanting to take the opportunity to extort some food. When Tao Qian was in his prime, he was quite bold in pacifying Xuzhou, but now that he is old and dying, his attitude towards these things has softened, and he has a sense of harmony, so Guan Hai feels that he can use Tao Qian's temperament to deceive a wave of grain and grass.
But although Xiaopei is only a small city, the city walls are not thick, and the number of defenders is not large, but Wang Lang is not easy to bully, and there are Cao Bao, Zang Ba and other cadres under his command, so he can only retreat helplessly. Xiaopei can't be captured, Xiapi is the capital of Xuzhou, Tao Qian is in charge, of course, it is even more impregnable, there is no possibility.
In this way, Guan Hai is really in a dilemma, if he can't find food in the past half a month, this team will really starve to death. At this time, Guan Hai didn't have many options, either he continued to try to attack Xiaopei, or he bypassed Xiaopei and Xiapi and took Lang Evil directly, but Lang Evil was also under the rule of Xuzhou, even if it was short compared to Xiapi and Xiao Peibing, it was not easy to bully.
Then there are three sides left, or they can only pass through Xuzhou and go to Beihai to bully Kong Rong. As a celebrity, Kong Rong has a great reputation, but on the other hand, his ability to fight is also poor, which is basically equal to nothing. Either you can only come to the southwest to the county, or you can only go to the northeast to stay in Chen.
Chen Liu is Cao Cao's territory, before the eighteenth road princes begged Dong, Cao Cao was one of the initiators, and at the same time, he was the only one who bit a piece of meat from Dong Zhuojun and made some achievements, at this time it can also be said that he is famous all over the world, which shows that the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's army is definitely relatively tough. Cao Cao is now fighting with Liu Dai in Puyang, Guan Hai doesn't want to participate, and the only choices he can choose are Qiaojun and Beihai.
Guan Hai's troops encountered another part of the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhou Cang near Hulu, and the two of them combined to form a group and manage it together. And Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were originally together, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Pei Yuanshao retired as the commander of the Yellow Turban Army and became his Han subject in Xuchang, while Zhou Cang led the troops to continue to fight guerrillas.
The previous failed to attack Qian County, there were Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang's troops, so their hatred with Qian County was very deep. Zhou Cang heard that Guan Hai was short of food, although he himself was actually quite short of it, but he supported a little ration quite righteously, so he didn't let Guan Hai's people starve to death. In this way, Guan Hai was naturally very grateful to Zhou Cang.
After exchanging information with Guan Hai, Zhou Cang told him that the Taishou Kong Ling of Qian County has been unable to do it recently, and that the power over there will not be able to come up with a result for a while, and if we take advantage of their unpreparedness at this time to seize the city, won't all the food in Qian County be ours? This kind of good opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, and there is no such shop in this village.
And Beihai is far away, now you have such a little food, with so many hungry brothers, it took nearly half a month to cross Xuzhou to reach Beihai, and you are already a tired army. Since ancient times, it is basically difficult to succeed if the number of siege soldiers is not three times that of the defending soldiers, how can this army with insufficient numbers or tired troops fight the spirited army in the North Sea?
Zhou Cang reasoned with Guan Hai Xiaozhi and moved him with affection, and persuaded him to turn the horse's head and go back to fight the county.
Guan Hai was moved by Zhou Cang's words.
Now that their two armies are combined, they can almost have nearly 15,000 men. Guan Hai had a larger number, accounting for almost 10,000, and among the soldiers in Zhou Cang, there were fewer old, weak, sick and disabled, and he was divided into teams, and the proportion of soldiers was high, and there were 5,000 people. In this way, it can be regarded as a strength that is not weak.
Historically, Guan Hai chose to go to Beihai to harass Kong Rong, but now under the influence of Zhou Cang, he naturally chose to go to Qiaojun.
So they came to the county in a hurry.
During this time, there were a lot of things in Qian County, and Fang Xia didn't expect that someone would come to attack the city, and she remembered that the entire Yuzhou was quite safe during this time, so when this wave of Yellow Turban Army had crossed Wu County and entered Yuzhou from Xuzhou, it was less than three days away from Qian County, and Fang Xia received the news.
Qian Jun was on the way of their route, and Fang Xia was basically certain that they were coming for him.
