If a county taishou wants to be promoted to the governor of a state again, normally speaking, it is very difficult and difficult, and it may be something that he will not dare to think about for the rest of his life.

There are thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and there are only more than ten states in total, and there are only more than ten state officials. If you can become the chief official of a state, then you will really become the minister of the frontier, which is the glory that can only be obtained by the smoke of the ancestral tomb.

Generally speaking, if you are appreciated by the imperial court, or if you have made certain merits and are recommended by someone, you may be called into the capital and take up a certain official position in the imperial court.

However, it is not so easy to be an official in the capital, and you must have a certain talent to gain the attention of the emperor. In fact, many officials in various parts of the Han Dynasty were often placed in some less important positions after being called into the central government as officials, and then they never came out again until they resigned when they were old.

The governor of a state, in theory, must be a member of the court who has the ability to govern a state. Of course, the main thing has to be the ministers who are loyal to the court.

If you can't gain the emperor's trust, you basically have no chance of becoming the governor of a state.

But these situations are only the situation when the Han Dynasty was strong, and now, in fact, even a cat and a dog can be appointed to the position of governor of a state. The key to this is to see if you have enough wealth to impress the powerful and eunuchs in the court.

Like Wu Jin, if he is recommended by the eunuchs in the court and the central government, and says more good things about him in front of the emperor, as long as the emperor nods, then he can really become the governor of a state, and it is also possible to replace Huangfu Song to become the pastor of Jizhou.

Anyway, according to the emperor's holy decree, whether he has the ability to govern a state or not, he is the pastor of a state.

Wu Jin felt that he might have gotten a good opportunity to climb to the sky.

This seems to be a very ridiculous thing, but in Dahan, in fact, even more ridiculous things have happened. At this time, Wu Jin would not doubt what Zhao He said.

Wu Jin got Zhao He's assurance, and he immediately took action.

Zhao He repeatedly confessed that the attack on the caravan of the Liu Mansion and the killing of Liu Xian must not be made public, and it must be done in secret, at least, no one can know that it was the officers and soldiers of their government who did it.

In this way, Wu Jin was very careful when transferring the officers and soldiers in Hanoi, and did not transfer all the officers and soldiers at once.

According to Zhao He's estimate, there should be a few days for Wu Jin to prepare, so there is no need to be too anxious.

Wu Jin could mobilize only four or five thousand troops, but it was impossible for him to transfer the officers and soldiers of Qinyang to participate in this attack on the Liu Mansion caravan. He could only mobilize about 3,000 men.

He used some pretexts to transfer officers and men out of the city in batches at night, and let these officers and soldiers march overnight to hide in some relatively hidden mountains and forests. Then, let the officers and soldiers change into ordinary people's clothes and pretend to be robbers and bandits.

From Jizhou to Luoyang capital, to cross the dangerous Yellow River, the most famous Yellow River ferry, naturally is the official crossing, the battle of the official in the history of the Three Kingdoms, is named after this. But this Guandu is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, that is, where the Yellow River basin turns.

In addition to this ferry, there are naturally quite a few ferries.

Generally, it will be faster to travel from Jizhou to Luoyang and cross the river from the ferry in Hanoi County. Because after crossing the Yellow River, you will arrive at Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, and after entering the customs, you can quickly and safely arrive at Luoyang Capital.

Zhao He estimated that the Liu Fu caravan would not cross the river from Guandu, but would definitely cross the river from the ferry in Hanoi County.

Wu Jin has already sent more than 3,000 people, pretending to be robbers and bandits, and quietly operated to Wuzhi County.

Wuzhi County is located more than 100 miles southeast of Qinyang, Hanoi County. There was a large crossing of the Yellow River, and ordinary traders would cross the river from that port.

Of course, Zhao He also asked Wu Jin to send spies to investigate the business route of the Liu Fu caravan and the itinerary of the Liu Fu caravan.

In addition, it does not mean that they must start looting when the Liu Fu caravan crosses the river, if there is a more suitable place, they can also stop the Liu Fu caravan on the road and rob and kill Liu Xian.

After all, Wu Jin now has 3,000 men and horses, and in the eyes of Wu Jin and Zhao He, these 3,000 men and horses are real officers and soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is definitely much stronger than those bandits and robbers who have fallen into the grass. And the Liu Mansion caravan, although there are more than 5,000 people, but the real escort force is the Liu Mansion caravan escort of more than 1,000 people. They all believed that as long as they made a move, they would definitely be able to defeat the guards of the Liu Mansion caravan, kill Liu Xian, and seize the caravan's goods.

As for the fact that Liu Xian led the people of the two places to defeat the tens of thousands of troops of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro in Yangshi County and Liulin Village, they automatically filtered it, and they believed that Liu Xian was fortunate to defeat the Yellow Turban Army that was vulnerable to defeat the Yellow Turban Army without any combat effectiveness by relying on the city wall. If you face real officers and soldiers, then what is the escort of the Liu Fu caravan?

Well, Liu Xian's defeat of another 30,000 Taishan Yellow Turban Army in Beihai has not yet reached their ears for the time being. After all, this era is not the Internet era of later generations, and news will not circulate so much.

Zhao He asked Wu Jin to send spies, mainly to determine the route of the Liu Fu caravan, so as not to miss the opportunity to rob and kill the Liu Fu caravan.

For Zhao He, he absolutely could not let Liu Xian cross the Yellow River with the Liu Mansion caravan. He had to settle the Liu Mansion caravan north of the Yellow River, otherwise, he would have to face the fact that Liu Xian had entered Beijing with great fanfare. After all, after crossing the Yellow River, it is considered to have entered a relatively safe territory. It is impossible for Zhao He to make a move against the Liu Mansion caravan in a place near the capital of Luoyang, right?

The imperial army is stationed at the main passes around Luoyang, and if the military horses of Hanoi, whether they are officers and soldiers, or officers and soldiers disguised as bandits and robbers, enter the place guarded by the imperial officers and soldiers, then wait to be suppressed by the imperial officers and soldiers.

In fact, it is also a little inappropriate to act on the Liu Fu caravan at the crossing of the Yellow River, because in this way, doesn't it mean that even the places in Sili Prefecture are unstable? Such a large-scale robbery at the crossing of the Yellow River will definitely cause a shock to the capital, and the imperial court will definitely investigate at that time. Even if the imperial court doesn't investigate, the generals will figure out what happened. If you let your relatives and ministers know that it was Zhao He, the eunuch, who mobilized the officers and soldiers of Hanoi, and that Wu Jin, the Taishou of Hanoi, was actually the eunuch's person, hehe, then they didn't care whether it was to kill Liu Xian or not, they would only make a group of troubles and attack the eunuchs in the palace. At that time, I don't know if Zhao He has anything to do, and this Hanoi Taishou Wu Jin will definitely die. Whether it is a relative or a powerful minister in the court, eunuchs are absolutely not allowed to control the local military power.

Zhao He knew this situation in his heart, so in order to protect Wu Jin, he did repeatedly tell Wu Jin to be careful, and he must not expose his identity and the identity of the officers and soldiers.

For eunuchs like Zhao He, Wu Jin is naturally a shadow that can be discarded at any time, but Wu Jin is indeed a person who they spent a lot of effort to subdue, if Wu Jin is not exposed, then he can be allowed to hide until they are the eunuchs in the palace need it, and then use the power of this shadow.

However, just as they were ready and waiting for the Liu Mansion caravan, the Liu Mansion caravan was slow.

After leaving Handan, the journey that would have taken only three or two days to reach was delayed by five days.

Liu Xian was really not in a hurry, he met with Handan Taishou in Handan, and used his identity to get involved with Handan Taishou again. Liu Xian personally came forward to negotiate with Handan Taishou about purchasing the property, and after operating in Handan and giving up some interests, the two sides reached an agreement that could provide official protection for Liu Xian's industry in Handan.

In fact, no matter who it is, as long as it is profitable, Liu Xian can indeed develop in other places.

This is similar to that of later generations, if you directly find the face of the local government, then you can do anything to achieve twice the result with half the effort. As for whether the future development will be smooth and how much benefit can be obtained, that is a matter for the future, Liu Xian will spread this stall, it depends on whether the following people are effective in implementation.

After leaving Handan, he traveled cautiously on the road, and every time he arrived at a city, Liu Xian would stop and directly meet with the local government officials, using the same strategy to reach an agreement with the local government.

It can be said that if everything goes well, Liu Xian will be equivalent to completely opening up a trade route belonging to Liu Xian, a trade route from Liulin City to the capital. In the future, the caravan of Liufu, or the people under Liu Xian, had a place to settle down every place they went.

Even more convenient, it is the transfer of information. In the future, whether Liu Xian is in the capital or in Liulin City, he can grasp a lot of the latest information at any time.

The only problem is that the transmission of information can only rely on foot power and horsepower. But Liu Xian believes that as long as industries around the country are equipped with fast horses, then the transmission of information will be faster. It can be achieved as the imperial court's eight-hundred-mile expedited intelligence transmission.

In fact, Liu Xian's purchase of properties in the places along the way is similar to the situation of the official post stations set up by the Han Dynasty in various places. It's just that Liu Xian has no way to spread his industry all over the Han Dynasty. However, now that it is arranged along the road, it can at least achieve a line of information transmission.

Also, Liu Xian has now considered how to breed carrier pigeons.

Carrier pigeons are no longer an uncommon thing in Dahan.

When Chu and Han were fighting, Liu Bang, who was pursued by Xiang Yu and hid in the abandoned well, released a pigeon to ask for help and was rescued. Therefore, carrier pigeons are really common in Dahan. The most common is that the Han Dynasty has a department dedicated to training carrier pigeons for transmitting intelligence, but now it is naturally not very important. After all, carrier pigeons are not foolproof in transmitting information.

But among the people, some powerful people must also have more or less people who raise carrier pigeons.

Liu Xian was able to obtain a more reliable way to raise carrier pigeons from the memory in his mind. This can be done at any time, of course, it is necessary to find some people who know how to train carrier pigeons.

Liu Xian's time in this era is indeed not long, it is impossible to do too many things at once, let alone do everything at once, many things have to be thought of, and with such conditions, it is possible to carry out.

What's more, Liu Xian's main thing is to focus on the development of business?

Along the way, the Liufu caravan marched along the official road.

But even if it is an official road, it is not a safe journey, and when you have to pass through some dangerous places, you will indeed encounter some trouble.

From Handan to Hanoi, it is about more than 400 miles.

On the way, when they passed through a mountain range and reached a relatively dangerous mountain, the Liu Fu caravan was robbed by a group of bandits.

That mountain range, known locally as the Black Wind Ridge, is a mountain that belongs to the remnant vein that extends eastward from the south of the Taihang Mountains.

This mountain range is actually five miles away from the official road. The people in the secret camp had already discovered that there was a bandit with about five or six hundred people on the mountain.

The local government officers and soldiers made several attempts to exterminate the bandits, but they never succeeded.

The bandits, who are only five or six hundred people, are also a few miles away from the official road, and it is impossible for the Liu Mansion caravan to take the initiative to clear out this bandit.

The Liu Mansion caravan of more than 5,000 people will not worry about being plundered by these 5 or 600 people, and the caravan guards of one or two thousand can teach them how to behave.

Therefore, the Liu Fu caravan naturally traveled as usual.

But this group of bandits thought it was just a caravan, more than a thousand oxen and carriages, how to rob them, then they were really developed.

In this way, they came down directly from the mountain, intending to directly attack the Liu Fu caravan.

When they came to attack the caravan of Liu's mansion, Liu Xian rode with Yi Ji and enjoyed the scenery along the way with her.

Regardless of whether the scenery is beautiful or not, the main thing is that the weather at this time is indeed too hot, and it is too stuffy to stay in the carriage, Liu Xian asked her to come out to breathe.

For Yi Ji, Liu Xian's heart is indeed more loving, she left her father from Youbeiping and followed her to Liulin City, she is indeed deeply affectionate to herself. But Liu Xian planned to marry earlier, but he couldn't marry her together, although he still failed to marry Kong Xue and them in the end, Liu Xian always felt a little sorry for Yi Ji in his heart.

At this moment, on the side of the mountain in front of him, smoke and dust rose and a shout was heard.

"There's a bandit coming! The Liu Mansion caravan escort army, lined up ahead! ”

"Those who are in charge of oxen and carriages, each is optimistic, form a formation with a cart, and be careful of the mountains and forests on both sides!"

The general who was in charge of commanding the escort of the Liu Mansion caravan shouted loudly.

In fact, they also knew that there were bandits nearby for a long time, and they had been mentally prepared for a long time.

After all, the people in the dark camp are not vegetarians, and when the Liufu caravan wants to pass through this relatively dangerous section, there will be people staring at those bandits, they are far from arriving, and the Liufu caravan can get an early warning.

At this time, except for Zhang Ning who stayed by Liu Xian's side, Huang Wudie had already gone to the front.

"There are bandits who want to rob our caravan again, Brother Liu Xian, quick, let's go and have a look, I hope that we will be wiped out by our people at once, just like the bandits and robbers who didn't have long eyes that we encountered earlier." Yi Ji raised her pretty face in Liu Xian's arms and said with a somewhat happy look.

Well, she regarded the matter of bandits blocking the road and looting as fun, and there was no panic of ordinary people at all, and she felt very safe with Liu Xian.
