Jia Xu usually doesn't talk much, but when he is alone, he likes to talk to himself, maybe there are too few smart people who can communicate with him.

He thought of Tong Yuan, the two hadn't seen each other for a year, and now that the situation was in turmoil, what was he thinking, wouldn't he be tricked by Wen You.

This test must be passed, and sometimes it only takes a little adjustment of thinking to turn the danger into a disaster. I hope he can achieve this with the same perseverance as he did last year.

"Report, General Zhenbei has sent a message."

Jia Xu quickly read the bamboo slip, the writing was so plain, presumably Cai Yan, who wrote the letter, was not around.

But the content made him quite relieved, he finally broke through this barrier.

……

Tong Yuan, who had regained his strength, specially visited Shangjun, Xihe and other places, and discussed the re-establishment of various counties with Zhang Ji, Wei Qi and others.

He specifically looked at a new town west of Gaonu City, on the bank of Yanshui, which is close to the mountains and rivers, close to the newly built straight road, and the business travel from Tianshui is also focused on the development here, which can be called one of the most lively and stable places in the cities of Shangjun.

This city is now only a rural town, and because of its proximity to Yeonsu, it is temporarily called Yeonseong. However, due to the better location and the rapid economic development promoted by Tuntian, there is a tendency to overshadow the old city of Gaonu.

Tong Yuan and Zhang both felt that Yancheng was more suitable as a county governor, and Shangjun was too large, from Luochuan County in the south to Fushi County in the north, there was a thousand miles of road, and the width from east to west was more than 600 li, which was more than three times that of ordinary counties.

In this case, a new county can be established, with Yancheng as the center, and the counties adjacent to Sanfu and Hedong form a county. With Fushi as the center, the upper county was re-established to undertake the task of defending against invasion and recovering the Hetao.

After the initial planning, Tong Yuan crossed the Yellow River to the east and arrived at Xihe Port. It was very convenient to meet Wei Qi, Xu Huang and others in Lishi City.

According to the previous discussion, it is not planned to raise troops from Xihe County and attack north within a year. Therefore, the main task here is to supervise the Xiongnu and other departments that were surrendered before, develop the economy and people's livelihood, and make full preparations for the future expedition to the east and west.

In terms of development, he communicated with Wei Qi and Xu Huang slightly, and found that everyone was not worried about Li Ru's abduction of Emperor Xian. On the contrary, I also feel that the other party has fewer soldiers and horses, and the area is sparsely populated, so it should be closer to Hedong and other places.

Wei Qi said, "Now Pei Mao, the head of the Pei family, holds an important position in the court, although he has not completely fallen to the lord, he will not give up his own interests and join others. ”

"Since Li Ru is expanding day by day, it is better to build two lines, one bright and one dark, with Pei Mao as the main on the bright side, and gather a group of officials who support Hedong. If there is a dark line, I judge that Emperor Xian will return to Luoyang sooner or later, why don't we start from here? ”

Tong Yuan's heart was awe-inspiring, he had previously arranged Zhou Cang, Li Tong, Liu Bi, Gong Du and others near Luoyang through the Four Seas Merchant Gang, specifically to prevent Cao Cao's actions.

Coupled with Ma Riyan's relationship, he promoted the award of Cao Cao Yanzhou Mu and Zhendong General to win him over.

As a result, because of Li Ru's actions, he temporarily forgot about the layout over there. After Wei Qi's reminder, he found that he could indeed strike first, and he could also greatly increase his bargaining chips at that time.

He followed the river south and returned to Pi to preside over the corresponding affairs.

However, what awaited him was shocking news, and the nerves that had relaxed a little made him tense again.

……

At the same time, Li Dao had already arranged for his nephews Li Xian and Li Bei to withdraw to Sanfu, leaving half of the soldiers and horses to guard here.

He himself waited in Huayin for the edicts of Li Ru and the Son of Heaven.

Soon, the Son of Heaven really issued an edict, appeased and rewarded, so that he could develop Sanfu and repair Chang'an, and he might return soon.

This kind of content made Li Dao very happy, what he was most worried about was that he had offended Emperor Xian in the past six months, and he was afraid that he would be attacked by the world. Not only was he appeased now, but Emperor Xian seemed to have the possibility of returning to him, which was too surprising to him.

Li Ru went out of a separate room with him and asked, "Is Da Sima satisfied with this result?" ”

Li Wei smiled and said, "Hahaha, Wenyou, why have the two of us fought over the past few years?" Now that you and I are working together, why worry about the uncertainty of the world? ”

Li Ru smiled and said, "After all, this world is still better to cooperate, what is the plan for Da Sima to return to Sanfu?" ”

Li Dao said, "Needless to say, at that time, he was a powerful soldier, preparing to attack Xia Yang and other places, so that the boy looked good!" He cheated a lot of counties out of me, and I'm sure I'm going to make him pay back more. ”

Li Ru said, "Don't do that. ”

Li Dao was surprised, "Why? Are you afraid that they will not succeed? It's not that I'm bragging, just his soldiers and horses alone in Sanfu and Shangjun are definitely not my opponents. As for Hedong, it can be slowly drawn. ”

Li Ru said: "Da Sima's strategic vision is incomparable, but does Tong Yuan know about the alliance between you and me?" ”

Li Dao said, "This, of course I don't know......"

His eyes suddenly widened, and he said, "I see, you are planning for me to pretend to continue to cooperate with him, and then launch a surprise attack, wonderful! ”

Li Ruyin said with a smile: "This is called treating others in the way of others." Guo Yan is dead here, and you and I have fought again, so I don't worry that he will not be fooled. ”

Li Dao said, "Very good, very good! I definitely want to listen to your Li Wenyou's strategy, who in this world doesn't know that you are the number one strategist in the world. ”

Li Ru said, "Da Sima has a good reputation, Confucianism is just fortunate to meet the Ming Lord and make a little reputation." ”

Li Dao said, "Then I'll go back, so that they don't have a conflict with Tong Yi's side, and pretend to be well-behaved first, otherwise it will be difficult to deceive them." ”

Li Ru looked at Li Dao's eyes as if he was looking at something dead. In fact, he is not wrong to see it this way, after all, killing Li Dao can pave the heroic road for his lord.

The first thing Li Dao did after he went back was not to send someone to deliver the military order, but to ask Tang Ji about his situation.

Hu Jar, who was in charge of taking care of the baggage and Tang Ji, came to report, this Tang Ji was kept in the dark, and he didn't know about the alliance between them and Li Ru, and at this time he thought that the great revenge was about to be avenged, and he was happy.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Very good, Hu Tank, what kind of official do you want to be in the future, do you think Zhonglang will be enough?" ”

Hu Jar was overjoyed, knelt down and bowed, "Thank you Da Sima for cultivating, the last general will definitely go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

This Hu Jar is the nephew of Hu Zhen, one of Dong Zhuo's five tiger generals, who had defected to Tong Yuan in Heyang before, and later their soldiers and horses were used to trade Yang Feng, Xu Huang and other departments.

At this time, Hu Zhen was dead, and his more than 1,000 soldiers and horses were led by Hu Tank, and with the rebellion of Li Wei's generals one after another, there was no one else available except for his nephews and nephews.

This time, Li Dao found that although Hu Jian did not inherit Hu Zhen's combat bravery, he was also quite clever and meticulous, which was just the right time to use.
