The geographical location of Zhongmu County is actually relatively good, under normal circumstances, it will not be affected by war, unless there is a real large-scale war. For example, the princes of the world crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and later when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao competed. But even if it were, it wouldn't actually have much of an impact. At most, this is a camp for soldiers, and there is usually no direct battle here.

Because of Chenliu, Bishui Pass, and Tiger Prison Pass, which are not far from here, when the real battle is real, it will only happen in those more critical places.

Liu Xian asked Ren Jun to continue to preside over the development of Zhongmu County, and he no longer asked. Of course, those who need Liu Xian's support are still sparing no effort, for example, they need some support from farming cattle and money and grain, etc. These Liu Xian will let people arrange, they can send a batch of farming cattle from Shangjun, and they can transfer some agricultural tools from Liulin City, etc. As for food, it's also better. What's more, the people of Zhongmu County are not uneasy to uncover the pot, but they are uneasy.

In fact, Ren Jun can call on the landlords and tyrants in some places to first take out a part of the money and grain to help the people of Zhongmu County, so that the people can tide over the difficulties.

There was no need to stay in Zhongmu County anymore, Liu Xian asked people to prepare, leave Zhongmu County, and set off for Runan.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in Runan, which has kept the area in a state of unofficial government in recent years. Local thieves are also very fierce, and the people are naturally living in extreme difficulty.

However, the Runan area is not very easy to govern, so Liu Xian did not specifically explain to Lu Zhi and others what they wanted to do to Runan, so he simply asked them to help the people there. This is also equivalent to doing a face-saving project.

Liu Xian wanted to inspect Runan, just so that he could leave the capital and look for Dian Wei. Now that Dian Wei has followed him, going to Runan is indeed a formality.

In addition, Liu Xian decided to take a detour to Yi County.

Yixian is Cao Cao's hometown.

But Liu Xian didn't go to Cao Cao, at this time, Cao Cao was still in Luoyang Capital. Liu Xian is planning to find Cao Cao's fellow countryman, Xu Chu.

Historically, Xu Chu was Cao Cao's personal guard after Dian Wei, a super fierce general. His martial arts bravery, not under Dian Wei, can fight with Zhang Fei on three hundred fierce men.

The most commendable thing is that it may not be Xu Chu's strength, but his courage. The five tiger generals of Shu State, he singled out four people, two draws and two defeats. In general, under Cao Cao's account, the two generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu may be the strongest, and the rest, such as Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Brothers, etc., are estimated to be really inferior to Dian Wei and Xu Chu in terms of force alone.

Now Liu Xian thinks that since he has already received Dian Wei, and he is on the way, if he can, he can find Xu Chu, and he will also be taken under the account by the way. In this way, it is equivalent to taking Cao Cao's right-hand man first.

Of course, speaking of which, although the two generals are brave, they don't seem to be able to really let them play their abilities under the account.

How to say it, Liu Xian felt that these two generals were a bit like Zhao Yun in history. gives people the feeling that they are all very powerful, but they can only be the personal guards of the lord. It gives people a feeling of overkill.

Liu Xian received them, not because he planned to let them be his own guards, but because he planned to let them lead the army and let them stand alone.

In this ancient era, in fact, there were very few main guilds that really delegated power to let the generals below dominate the army. The key is to worry that the generals below will support their own troops outside, especially when they are high-ranking and powerful, they will always be worried that they will rebel.

Therefore, in this era of the Three Kingdoms, many times, those strategists and fierce generals all followed the lord to fight together, and all decisions had to be decided by the lord. In this way, you will be able to control the people below and control your army to the greatest extent.

However, in this way, it will also greatly limit the talents of the people below. Especially when grasping the situation of the war, the fighters on the battlefield are fleeting, if everything has to be reported to the lord and let the prince decide, then the daylily is cold.

During the period when the Han Dynasty flourished several times, whether it was Li Guang or Wei Qing, or Huo Quai, and Ban Chao Bangu and so on. Let's not talk about their final ending, in fact, they can achieve so much and leave their names for eternity, that is, because they were all independent at that time and could free their hands and feet to lead the army to fight.

If it is said that when fighting the Huns in the desert, everything has to be reported to the emperor, then there is no need to fight, and by the time it is returned, the fighter has already disappeared.

is also like when Chu and Han fought at the beginning, if Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, did not let go and let Han Xin lead the army to fight, then how could he finally defeat the overlord of Chu?

Therefore, Liu Xian believes that if he wants to make a difference in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, then he can't personally participate in everything. When the time is right, it is necessary to learn to delegate power, formulate a general policy for them, and let the military advisors and strategists below lead the army to fight together with the commander-in-chief. How the battle will be fought is up to them. All I have to do is to ensure their supplies as much as possible, and then give them some strategic and tactical guidance.

Anyway, according to the actual situation, there are some policy standards for how to fight a war in what environment and terrain, and then let them implement it, and when they implement it, they are allowed the power to make decisions on the fly.

Liu Xian felt that super fierce generals like Dian Wei and Xu Chu really shouldn't just stay by his side as a guard.

The group set off from Zhongmu County and headed southeast first.

This way, naturally, it is more like a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Of course, every time he passed through a city or town, Liu Xian would also inspect the local people's livelihood conditions, and then give certain suggestions to the local government, so that they could implement more appropriate political strategies and make the local people feel better as much as possible.

However, on the part of the government, the official word is two, in front of Liu Xian, they are gentle and submissive, when Liu Xian passes, Liu Xian gave them the advice, whether they will implement it, that is their business.

Liu Xian did not have to carry out a thorough renovation of the place every time he went to a place. It's not that Liu Xian doesn't want to, but Liu Xian's energy is limited now, and his focus is not in these areas.

This is also a helpless thing.

Liu Xian also wants to reverse the situation of the entire Han Dynasty at once, so that the world can be governed and all the people can live and work in peace and contentment. However, it takes a lot of time and effort to govern a place. Especially when money is needed.

Liu Xian does have a lot of money, which can be described as making money every day. But so what? Relying on Liu Xian's financial resources alone, no matter how rich his net worth is, I am afraid that at the same time, it is really difficult to take into account the entire Han world.

The only way to do our best is to manage the points that are important to you. When the time comes, slowly control one county and then multiple counties to one state. And then carry out a thorough rule of the people in these areas.

Stop and go along the way. Two or three days later, he finally entered the territory of Yi County.

Along the way, Dian Wei saw what Liu Xian did, and he felt that Liu Xian was indeed not an ordinary person, but sincerely thought about the people.

Because along the way, a lot of things have indeed been done to the people in some places in need, and money and food seem to be sent without death. Almost all the money and food that I had brought with me were gone.

Many times, looking at the ragged people who came to receive some money and food, Dian Wei couldn't help but blush. Naturally, he couldn't understand why the Han Dynasty became what it is now, and why there were people everywhere who couldn't eat or wear.

Peiguo County, the most famous local is naturally Cao Cao's Cao family.

There is almost no need to look for it, just ask some passers-by, and they can all point out where the Cao family is.

The Cao family has industries in Yixian and outside.

But Cao Song, the head of the Cao family, is not in this hometown, but still in the capital. Cao Cao was also not there, so Liu Xian naturally didn't plan to visit the Cao family.

In fact, there is no need for that, Liu Xian and Cao Cao seem to be friends on the surface, but everyone knows what it actually is.

However, Liu Xian's group still entered Yi County first. I plan to let the accompanying girls have a good rest when they are in the county seat.

To find out where Xu Chu is, Liu Xian believes that it is not too difficult. At least it's much easier than looking for Dianwei.

Because Xu Chu's Xu family is also well-known in Yi County. Historically, Xu Chu could gather thousands of families to resist thieves, and the place where these thousands of families were located must be the place of a big family.

The government officials of Yi County, after hearing that Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wuyong, had arrived, naturally had to be warmly entertained.

The day after Liu Xian met with them. After sending his subordinates to find out where Xu Chu was, Liu Xian took a few women to wander around the streets of Yi County and take them to see the customs here.

happened to have a family to welcome relatives, so Liu Xian was thick-skinned and took the women to eat a meal.

Of course, the host was deeply honored to treat Liu Xian as a guest.

Naturally, Liu Xian was not stingy and sent a generous gift to the host's family.

This feast is relatively late.

Because the bridegroom came back a little later to pick up the bride, just in time for the sun to go down.

Liu Xian watched the wedding together, and then was arranged by the host's family to have a banquet in a side room.

Because of Liu Xian's relationship with his female dependents, the host felt that each of these women was more beautiful and richer than the other, and they could naturally have a banquet with other guests.

Liu Xian himself doesn't want to take the lead either.

So, just accompany your own woman.

However, the host still asked his son to bring the bride to visit, and Liu Xian had to give the new couple a pair of jade bracelets, wishing them to be married forever and grow old together.

After sending off the newlyweds, the host brought some clan elders and some people with a certain status to visit them, and Liu Xian had to chat with them for a while.

Anyway, a noble person like Liu Xian is in their house, which has indeed added a lot of brilliance to them, and he is so enthusiastic that he can't talk about it.

After dark, all the women were also full, and after tasting the unique banquet of this place, it was naturally a unique flavor. Not that there is no merit.

Just as he was about to say goodbye to his master's house, a woman with two maids happened to pass by the chamber.

She glanced casually at the room, then stopped.

"Huh? It's really Marquis Wu Yong, and Mrs. Dancing Butterfly, Miss Yi, and Miss Ying'er. You're all here! ”

Liu Xian took a look and felt that this woman was very dignified and beautiful, and she was a little familiar. I looked like I had seen her somewhere.

came to Ying'er, she was also a little surprised, and then stood up and saluted her: "Oh, it's really a coincidence, it turned out to be Sister Cao and Ding." Y-How did you get here? ”

"Ah, that's what I should ask you. Why are you here? She said, walked in, and first saluted Liu Xian: "Cao Ding's family has met Marquis Wu Yong, and I have seen ...... Several ladies. ”

Liu Xian recognized it at this time, this beautiful woman turned out to be Cao Cao's Yuan wife Ding. When she went to the Bixia Wujun Temple to offer incense, she went with Cao Cao and saw it.

Liu Xian also quickly stood up and saluted her back: "It turned out to be Mrs. Ding, no need to be polite, we are actually cheeky to eat and drink." I didn't expect you to be there. ”

"So that's the case, actually, I heard my brother-in-law say just now, there is a Hou Ye, I am still wondering, which Hou Ye will come to the banquet? I didn't expect it to be Wu Yonghou. ”

"Your brother-in-law? This host ......."

"Hehe, this master is my brother-in-law, Wu Cheng. My sister married him when I was a child, and now it is my sister's son who is married. ”

"Haha, it turns out that there is such a relationship."

"Well, no, it's getting dark, and I'm going home. By the way, you should know that our Cao family is here in Yi County, since you have come to Yi County, why don't you sit in my Cao family? ”

"Well, I'm also wondering, I know, Cao Mengde is still in the capital, right? And your grandfather is still in the capital. I just thought that none of them were in this old home, so I couldn't bother with it. Mrs. Ding, weren't you also in the capital years ago? Why did you come back to your hometown? ”

"Huh...... People felt that it was boring to stay in the capital, and then left, and it was better to feel more comfortable to go back to this hometown. At least...... There are also some boys who are filial to me. Peace. ”

"Ha, Mrs. Ding laughed. Well, we're going to say goodbye and leave. Mrs. Ding, do you want to go back to Cao's Mansion? Why don't we go back together? ”

"Okay, with the escort of Marquis Wuyong, people are not afraid of getting dark." Mrs. Ding did not hesitate, and immediately agreed: "It's just right, you can go to my Cao house and sit down and recognize the door." If you come to Yi County in the future, remember to come to our Cao family as a guest. ”

"This ...... Now that it's dark, it's a little inconvenient to go to your Cao house. We'll just deliver it to your Cao doorstep. Another day, my wife and I will definitely come to visit. ”

"What's inconvenient? Let's go and talk to my brother-in-law. Let's go. ”
