Chapter 30: Target Youzhou [1st + 2nd Update]
Su Yunqing never expected to hear her name from Ding Yuan, and even like most people, she always thought that Ding Yuan would choose Lu Bu, but now, Ding Yuan chose her, and after making this decision, Ding Yuan did not explain much.
Su Yunqing could only look at Jia Xu.
During this time, Jia Xu stayed in Bingzhou, and if there was something she didn't understand, then it must be right to ask Jia Xu.
"Wenhe, why?"
Jia Xu didn't look surprised at all, or rather, this was the result he had known for a long time, and in the face of Su Yunqing's question, Jia Xu's answer was also very simple.
"Isn't that what the general wants?"
Su Yunqing was stunned, she never expected to get such an answer.
"How could this be, how could this be what I hoped for!"
According to her thoughts, the most likely person to replace Ding Yuan should be Lu Bu, even if it is not Lu Bu, if it is someone else, as long as there is no problem with ability, Su Yunqing is willing to accept it.
But now Jia Xu said that becoming the lord of the state was what she was looking forward to, when did she have such a wish?
"Originally, I also thought that it was not bad for Fengxian to be in charge of the state, but the general made me change my mind, the general is not a person who can achieve great things, I'm afraid everyone will say this."
Jia Xu knows this very well, no matter what aspect it is, Su Yunqing is the inappropriate one.
As for the great cause in this troubled world, it is not something that Su Yunqing can accomplish.
In the troubled times, people like Cao Cao can achieve great things, and even Yuan Shao is possible, but Su Yunqing can't.
"But it is precisely because of this that in my opinion, a general can achieve great things more than anyone else."
Su Yunqing is the one who doesn't look like the most, but at the same time, it is also the most suitable one in Jia Xu's opinion.
"Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the world has been in turmoil, and the Han family will fall, but there is no one in the Han clan who can do glorious martial arts, and the general should understand what I mean."
Guangwu refers to the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and caused chaos in the world, and the Han family was about to die, at this time it was the later Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu who raised troops to revitalize the Han Dynasty and established the Eastern Han Dynasty that has continued to this day, and Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu is the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
But now there is no one like Liu Xiu in the Han family, Dong Zhuo's rebellion has made the four-hundred-year-old Han exist in name only, which means that after the chaos in the world, there will inevitably be a new regime to replace the current Han.
Of course, this is a bit far away, but if you talk about it closer, in the future, the world will inevitably fall into a situation where the princes will divide and attack each other.
At this time, there are only two endings of merging states, either annexing other princes after self-strengthening, or being annexed by other princes.
For Jia Xu, he originally thought that it should be Lu Bu as Ding Yuan's successor, but Su Yunqing made him change his mind.
"Is the general really unambitious? If you just want to be a military general on the battlefield, then why come to me to learn the way to govern the world and the people? โ
Su Yunqing: "......"
How does she know about this kind of thing, she has to ask the system, right?
Of course, Su Yunqing can't say that, and this is indeed what she wants to learn...... Although I didn't learn it later_(:3ใโ )_
But this approach gave Jia Xu a signal.
This made Jia Xu feel that Su Yunqing's ambition was not just a battlefield, she also wanted to seek something bigger.
Jia Xu didn't care about it originally, but considering the way out of the state in the future...... In fact, Su Yunqing is a good choice.
At least in Jia Xu's opinion, Lu Bu who has no awareness of this aspect is useless, otherwise Lu Bu is afraid that he will lead the entire Bingzhou to the end.
Lu Bu may be able to dominate one side, but it is just the cause of becoming a hero in troubled times.
So Jia Xu did something that many people in this era dare not do, or even dare not think about.
Su Yunqing is ambitious, and Jia Xu is fueling Su Yunqing's ambition.
โฆโฆ Although this boost is a bit of an error _(:3ใโ )_
Of course, Jia Xu knew that if he chose Su Yunqing, then the next thing would be very difficult...... But he chose to do it anyway.
"I just did what I was supposed to do."
What's more, it's just the lord of the state, and it is not difficult for Su Yunqing to want this position.
You must know that the current military power of the state is divided into three parts, part is in the hands of Ding Yuan himself, part is in the hands of Gao Tai, and part is in the hands of Su Yunqing and Lu Bu.
In troubled times, military power is important, and since the current state can accept to hand over such an important matter to Su Yunqing, it is not very difficult to go further.
Just looking at Su Yunqing's expression at the moment, Jia Xu knew that he had done this matter a little too fast, and he had already put the merger in front of Su Yunqing before Su Yunqing realized this, and asked Su Yunqing to become the lord of the merger.
But he didn't need to wait, because Jia Xu knew that Su Yunqing would always accept it.
Sure enough, after Jia Xu analyzed the situation for Su Yunqing from a very righteous perspective, as well as various pros and cons, Su Yunqing did not refuse.
The next thing is the official appointment of the imperial court, but Jia Xu knows that this does not need to care.
Now that the Son of Heaven and all the officials are in the hands of Dong Zhuo, everything he says is what Dong Zhuo means, not to mention whether Dong Zhuo is willing to offend the state at this time, just say that even if the court refuses, but so what?
Where there is real power, there is no need to ignore the Han court, which exists in name only.
So just two months later, Su Yunqing became the state pastor, or in other words, Su Yunqing is likely to be the first woman to lead the state pastor as a woman, whether it is a future or not, but at least there is no one before.
Dong Zhuo will not refuse this appointment, he has just been beaten by Su Yunqing and Cao Cao before, and his face is swollen, and he will definitely not find trouble with the state at this time.
Obviously, Dong Zhuo knew very well that only 25,000 troops were sent to the state last time, including more than 20,000 regular troops, and more than 20,000 people were newly recruited soldiers in the state, but these troops had already caused him considerable pressure.
And if you can't get along with the state at this time...... Bingzhou wants to play with him and really fight, Dong Zhuo is also afraid!
Dong Zhuo's hometown is in Liangzhou, and Liangzhou is next door, and he knows the affairs of Liangzhou very well, so even if the appointment of Su Yunqing must be in an uproar, he still did it.
All in all...... If you really want to talk about it, if there is any problem, the people of Bingzhou will find a way to go by themselves.
Then while Dong Zhuo was waiting to see the joke, Su Yunqing's appointment was supported by Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, two famous contemporary scholars.
Now the whole world is confused!
How did these two people get to the state? And also support Su Yunqing to be a state pastor? ฮฃ(ยฐโณยฐ|||) ๏ธด
In fact, Su Yunqing himself only knew half of this matter.
She knew how Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan came to merge the state, but she didn't know how Jia Xu got these two!
At the beginning, Su Yunqing thought that Lu Bu had just picked up two ordinary old men, so he didn't care about this matter at all, and in the end, when Jia Xu asked Lu Bu if he had any gains, Lu Bu told him about it.
Hearing the names of these two old men, even Jia Xu was so weak that he almost didn't stand firm, so Lu Bu hugged him: "What's wrong with Wen He?" Isn't there something uncomfortable? I just said that you can't just be busy with official business, you should go to the school field with me to practice, and you will definitely not be so weak at this time. โ
Jia Xu: "......"
He was just scared for a moment_(:3ใโ )_
As a result, when Jia Xu asked Su Yunqing and Lu Bu about their treatment of these two old men, Jia Xu was really dark.
It's a shame that you mother and son have done it!
Two great Confucians, you are just an ordinary old man tossed!
Ignorance is terrible...... Jia Xu fully felt this.
Then Jia Xu went to see these two people, no one knew what Jia Xu did, anyway, he ended up leaving both of them in Bingzhou.
It wasn't until Su Yunqing was appointed as the pastor of Bingzhou, which caused people all over the world to talk about it, and when these two old men came out to speak for Su Yunqing, everyone found out that there were still two cattle in Bingzhou!
It's just that Jia Xu also said something to Su Yunqing: "Cai Yong can be appointed, but Zheng Xuan can only let him teach students." โ
In other words, Cai Yong can be fought for, and Zheng Xuan can only be neutral in his life.
Although Zheng Xuan couldn't use it, Jia Xu still built a school for Zheng Xuan that Su Yunqing gave money to people to open a school for Zheng Xuan, so that Zheng Xuan could teach and educate people.
Sure enough, as soon as I heard that Zheng Xuan was in class, and Cai Yong came to lecture from time to time, the Bingzhou School Museum immediately became a holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world.
Before Su Yunqing officially took office, many people thought that Lu Bu would break with Su Yunqing, after all, Lu Bu was a sure thing for everyone as his successor before, but in the end, it was Su Yunqing who sat in this position.
In the face of power, the so-called fragile family and blood ties are vulnerable.
But to everyone's expectations, Lu Bu was even happier than Su Yunqing about this, and he even said directly: "Actually, I have always been afraid of letting me be the state pastor, after all, after becoming a state pastor, you can't go to the battlefield casually, right?" โ
Just look at Ding Yuan, as the lord of a state, Ding Yuan's safety is very important, so Ding Yuan can only stay in the state administration and don't want to do anything.
Going to war or something, that's a distant dream.
"This is simply terrible," Lu Bu couldn't imagine the day when he said goodbye to the battlefield fighter: "So, it's really good to be like this now." โ
By the time the state was basically stable, half a year had passed, and only then did Su Yunqing find that the outside world had undergone tremendous changes.
First of all, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao broke up.
The relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao has always been very good, and they can be said to be very good friends until the crusade against Dong Zhuo, of course, everyone can understand this, after all, Cao Cao can say that he will coax.
But when the princes were in a crusade against Dong Zhuo, there was a rift in the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and there were even signs of parting ways.
After that, Yuan Shao forced Jizhou to assassinate Han Fu, and after forcing Han Fu away, Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, and then Cao Cao, a subordinate of Jizhou, had a hard time, and Yuan Shao began to give him small shoes to wear.
The little shoes were uncomfortable to wear, so Cao Cao thought of leaving, but where could he go?
At this time, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was killed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and under the proposition of Yanzhou Chen Gong, Cao Cao was invited to enter Yanzhou.
Another thing to talk about is probably Sun Jian, at this time Sun Jian had died at the hands of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, leaving only his Sun Ce Sun, but Sun Ce was young after all, and he could only eat under Yuan Shu's hands now.
In terms of the current form, the situation in the state is not bad, at least it requires money, money and soldiers.
At this time, Jia Xu finally stopped leaving his hands and began to develop and merge the state in an all-round way.
In the past, after all, there was Emperor Ling, and the Han Dynasty still maintained the stability on the surface, and Ding Yuan was not an ambitious person, so even if he developed and merged with the state, it was just to get some food and drink and daily use, and strategic materials such as salt, iron, and horses were not dared to touch, for fear of being suspected by the emperor.
But now you don't need to think about it so much, if you are not strong now, you are waiting to be beaten.
It was at this time that Jia Xu proposed to Su Yunqing to attack Youzhou.
"Youzhou?" Su Yunqing frowned: "I thought you would choose Jizhou." โ
After all, no matter how you do it, the environment of Bingzhou itself will not change, and Bingzhou is still a bitter cold place, but what about Youzhou? Well, Youzhou is not much better, if you want to say rich, you still have to choose Jizhou.
But Jia Xu's reason is also very simple, at this time, Yuan Shao of Jizhou is busy tearing up with Cao Cao of Yanzhou, it is better for them not to disturb.
Speaking of Youzhou, the current history of Youzhou is Gongsun Zhan, and in Jia Xu's opinion, Gongsun Chan is much easier to solve than Yuan Shao.
The fame of the fourth and third princes of Yuan Shao's family has gathered a large number of talents for him to be loyal, but Gongsun Chan is not, although Yuan Shao's little duke has a temper, but Gongsun Chan is not much better.
Gongsun Chan is not a small gongju, but Gongsun Chan's personality is a big problem.
In the early days, Gongsun Zhan was also a very good person, he was sincere, experienced in battle, and had outstanding achievements, so he was very loved, but in the later period, his personality became more and more brutal and extreme, greedy for pleasure and cruelty to the people, it can be said that he completely lost the fighting spirit of his early years, and he was corrupt and degenerate.
Therefore, in Jia Xu's view, Gongsun Zhan's strength seems to be invincible to the strength of soldiers and horses, but in fact he is just a group of local chickens and dogs.
If Gongsun Chan is still the same Gongsun Chan back then, then Jia Xu's target will probably be Yuan Shao, but the current Gongsun Chan is no longer as powerful as it was back then, and everyone understands the truth that persimmons should be soft pinched, and Jia Xu is the same.
Probably the only problem is that after conquering Youzhou, you will have to face the border Xiongnu, but this does not make the people of Bingzhou afraid.
Anyway, I've been fighting Xianbei people for so many years_(:3ใโ )_
Su Yunqing obeyed Jia Xu's construction and prepared to raise troops to attack Youzhou.
And it was at this time that Jia Xu encountered something that made him cry with excitement.
Bingzhou finally has a second reliable strategist!
The name of the person who came was Xun Yu, and it is said that he was Xun Yu's eldest nephew...... It's really a big nephew, he's older than Xun Yu!
When she saw Xun You, Su Yunqing was very puzzled: "I thought you would go to Yanzhou." โ
After all, Xun Yu is in Yanzhou.
Hearing such a direct question, Xun You couldn't help laughing at that time, in Xun You's opinion, being able to ask this question, Su Yunqing is really a very interesting person.
The people who ask this question are all stupid, but is Su Yunqing really stupid?
Xun You didn't think that a person who could rule the state as a woman and be convinced by everyone in the state would be a fool.
Therefore, it is really very interesting for Su Yunqing to ask this question after he expressed a clear intention to defect.
Jia Xu next to him knew what he was thinking when he looked at Xun You's expression, but ...... Su Yunqing, that's really stupid! She really doesn't understand!
Of course, Xun You did not answer Su Yunqing's question directly, in Xun You's opinion, everyone knows this question, and there is no need to say it clearly.
Is...... It's just speculation.
Xun Yu is indeed true to Cao Cao, but because of this, before the situation is really clear, the Xun family will no longer allow the children of the family to go to Cao Cao's place.
Not to mention that Xun Yu came to Bingzhou, Xun Chen also went to Jizhou.
This is also a common practice in this era, just like Zhuge Liang worked for Shu Han in the later period, but Zhuge Jin worked in Eastern Wu _(:3ใโ )_
So, don't talk about this kind of thing that everyone knows.
Of course, in Xun You's opinion, what everyone knows is not the case for Su Yunqing, she really doesn't understand, but Su Yunqing didn't ask again, she very simply assigned positions and tasks to Xun You.
Then he said: "Gongda, go to work, there should be a lot of things waiting for you there in Wenhe." โ
Xun You watched Jia Xu smile kindly at him, and suddenly felt hairy.
Did he come by mistake?
Then when Xun You followed Jia Xu to see the pile of official documents that he was about to deal with, he finally completely understood what the bad premonition was before.
Friends! Is it too late to change? He wants to go to Jizhou! qaq
However, in the end, Xun You still had to deal with this pile of official documents.
To be honest, I had to work overtime on the first day of reporting to deal with official documents or something, which feels terrible! (โฏโตโกโฒ)โฏ๏ธตโปโโป
Then on the second day of Xun You's arrival, he found that he had more official documents to deal with again, and Xun You couldn't help but look at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, I remember that there weren't so many yesterday, right?" โ
Say! Did you secretly assign your task to me?
Jia Xu was particularly calm: "Mr. Bo Jiao has taken a leave of absence today, so we have to share his share." โ
Xun You: "......"
Mr. Bo Jiao is Cai Yong, and before he came, he also heard that Cai Yong, a contemporary celebrity, was serving in Bingzhou, and he had expectations in his heart.
As a result, I didn't see anyone on the first day, and the next day I was cheated by the other party_(:3ใโ )_
But Cai Yong really asked for leave, and his daughter came.
Yes, Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan, the famous Cai Wenji in later generations.
Cai Yan married Wei Zhongdao of the Hedong Wei family as his wife, but Wei Zhongdao died not long after she got married, and the Wei family did not welcome Cai Yan, and Cai Yan could only return to his own home.
Later, Cai Yong was forcibly recruited by Dong Zhuo to be an official, of course he would not take Cai Yan with him, it was really a good girl to the wolf's mouth, so Cai Yan stayed in his hometown, but now Cai Yong is in Bingzhou, and the situation has gradually stabilized, so he thought that it would be better to take his daughter to his side, but considering that the world is chaotic at present, he took dozens of soldiers and horses to Su Yunqing to escort him all the way.
If you count it this way, it should be almost these two days.
Therefore, it is really normal for Cai Yong to ask for leave or something.
Hearing this, Xun You was also very emotional: "Miss Cai, ......"
Cai Yan's name as a talented woman has long been known to the world.
In fact, Cai Wenji's reputation is not only known to the world, but also praised by later generations, not to mention the rest, but the story of Wenji's return to Han is very famous, and Su Yunqing also knows Cai Yan as a person.
Hearing Cai Yan's name, Su Yunqing suddenly realized, it turned out that Cai Yong's old man was Cai Wenji's father!
But Su Yunqing knelt down at the first sight of Cai Yan.
Yes, compared to Cai Yan, Su Yunqing looked at himself, although he was not wearing armor, he was also dressed as a typical martial artist......
Suddenly I don't think I'm a woman_(:3ใโ )_
Cardiac congestion.
That being said, Su Yunqing is not Cai Yan in the end, and she is destined not to be a woman like Cai Yan.
What's more, Su Yunqing quickly put Cai Yan's matter aside.
And the state is ready to use troops against Youzhou.
This time, Jia Xu was a lot more relieved, at least this time Xun Yu shared the pressure.
The corners of Xun You's mouth twitched: "Although it is indeed a happy thing to be reused as soon as you come, but ......"
But don't squeeze him like that!
Jia Xu shook his head: "Gongda, there is no way to do this, you have also seen the situation in Bingzhou, if you think it is hard, introduce more people." โ
Zheng Xuan is accepting apprentices in Bingzhou, but it will take many years for this kind of thing to see the effect, and now he still has to recruit talents from other places.
So the day before the departure of the army, Xun You wrote letters to all his friends and classmates he knew, not even inviting them to come to the state, but also saying that if there are friends of friends, classmates or something, they can come.
Those who come from the state do not refuse!
As long as someone comes, he can get rid of the official documents piled up in front of the mountain every day, and he can get rid of the fate of working overtime every day.
In fact, the only one who doesn't work overtime is Cai Yong, but after all, Cai Yong is not young, and he is a very famous predecessor, so they are embarrassed to let Cai Yong work overtime.
So in Xun You's ardent expectations for the future, the battle between Bingzhou and Youzhou officially began, which was also the first large-scale war fought by Bingzhou since Su Yunqing took charge of Bingzhou.
In terms of manpower arrangement, this time Su Yunqing left Gao Tai and Zhang Liao to take care of the house, and as for the others, they all went to Gongsun Zhan.
Dian Wei was happy, after quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou, he was left in Bingzhou by Jia Xu, and he couldn't follow Dong Zhuo when he beat him, but he couldn't hold back, this time he had the opportunity to beat Gongsun Zhan, Dian Wei thought about how to beat him hard, so that he could show his ability.
Only with military merit can you be promoted, and after you are promoted, you can fight bigger battles and earn more military merits.
Dian Wei's idea is very simple and realistic, in fact, this is what most generals think.
Especially Lu Bu...... This is Su Yunqing's first battle, so why can't he smash his hands!
Therefore, when selecting the vanguard, Lu Bu was completely like he would beat whoever dared to rob him, and at present, except for Lu Bu, who is qualified to fight for the pioneer position, that is, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, now Lu Bu has put on such a posture, Zhao Yun does not rob him, but Dian Wei is not convinced.
"Why are you a pioneer? If you want to say martial arts, I won't lose to you! โ
Lu Bu raised his chin: "Of course, my mother's first victory in the first battle should be fought by me, Lao Dian, you can't rob me!" โ
As soon as Dian Wei was about to say something, Lu Bu casually continued: "Gongsun Zhan's strongest is his cavalry, and when it comes to cavalry, is there anyone in the entire state who has more say than me?" โ
Now Dian Wei stopped talking, although he was not inferior to Lu Bu in martial arts, but when it came to the ability of this cavalry, Lu Bu was indeed stronger than him, which Dian Wei was convinced.
"Then this first battle will be given to you, and you will have to let me go next time you fight!"
"Okay!" Lu Bu agreed happily.
As for whether or not to let it go after the real arrival, it will be a matter of the future, first get the pioneer this time and then talk about it
