Chapter 132: Shaking (2)

Yan Xing sighed and said, "If I had known that Liangzhou Mu would be able to pacify the Xiongnu, I would have to go to the front line to fight if I said anything. I'm here to help my uncle deal with the copywriting, but I can't make any achievements. ”

Yan Zhong scolded with a smile: "Are you resenting me? At the beginning, I asked you if you wanted to stay in Lingzhou to help me do things, or go to fight in the army, but you chose to stay in Lingzhou. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Yan Xing sighed and said, "It's just that I saw that Li Kan's candidates had all ascended to high positions, and I felt a little resentful in my heart." ”

"Hey, don't worry," Yan Zhong said, "I'm a long history, and I want to give you an official position, that's not an easy thing?" Junhou now has Shuofang, Wuyuan two counties, Lian County, Lingzhou and other places, a total of more than 30 counties, in addition to a few places where generals have been stationed, there are more than 10 counties unguarded. If I show my old face and plead with the prince, it won't be a problem to get you a fake county order. ”

Yan Xingdao: "If I failed to make a war achievement, it was my own wrong choice, how can I let my uncle intercede?" Besides, the remaining places in the two counties have been occupied by the Huns for a long time, and there are very few household registrations, so even a real county order is nothing, let alone a fake county order? ”

"And how are you going?"

Yan Xing pondered and said: "I heard that Chen Yuanjun wants to cut off most of the soldiers and horses, and then re-select brave and brave warriors from the army and civilians under his rule, dare to ask my uncle, is there such a thing?" ”

"Hey, you're well-informed," Yan Zhong said with a smile, "Yes, it's true." The prince was ready to build many factories near Lian County, and he was also ready to count the apprentices on the west bank of the Yellow River, and to divide the soldiers who had been dismissed, and only keep a standing army of 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry by his side. ”

Yan Xing asked, "Tooth Soldier"

Yan Zhong said: "Yes, have you ever seen a fierce beast?" Every ferocious beast has sharp claws and teeth. The tooth soldier represents the most elite soldier. ”

Yan Xing asked again: "If there are tooth soldiers, where are the minions?" ”

Yan Zhong smiled, "Have you forgotten that swordsman Wang Yue?" ”

"Oh, it was him!" Yan Xing suddenly realized: "No wonder he has been mysterious and unpredictable these days. ”

Yan Zhong said: "You hand over the injured official duties, and then prepare for the selection of the tooth soldiers with peace of mind." ”

"Huh?"

"Hey, the prince is prepared to be of great use to the tooth soldiers." Yan Zhong said: "Here are a few arithmetic books, you take them back and study them, if you don't understand them, come and ask me, and don't fall behind in martial arts and criminal law." ”

“......... Be. ”

"The matter of forming the tooth soldiers, the prince is going to carry out it after the autumn, don't talk about this matter first."

"Yes."

Then, it was Song Jian, Han Sui, and Ma Teng who were shocked by Chen Cheng's defeat of the Huns. In the eyes of these Liangzhou princes, the Huns were poorer barbarians than them. If it was a head-on battle, although the Huns were difficult, their combat effectiveness was just like that, but these people never thought of trekking six or seven hundred miles to fight the Huns.

Leaving Sanfu and Chang'an in their mouths and not eating, they just went over the mountains and mountains to gnaw sand, what is the reason?

However, in any case, Chen Cheng is now a prince of the land of two counties, so they can't afford not to pay attention to it. What shocked them even more was the document that Yang Qiu Chengyi jointly issued to the imperial court to promote Chen Cheng as the pastor of Liangzhou. Of course, Luoyang will not pay attention to the nonsense of the anti-thieves, in fact, the documents were stopped by Gai Xun when they arrived in Chang'an.

Gai Xun is a strong person, and he never pretends to the thieves in Liangzhou, and he will pass on the above table of Cheng Yi's begging, and laugh at it, saying that Chen Cheng and others are "crowned by monkeys". After this incident came out, Song Jianli immediately stopped invading Zhangye County and returned to Jiuquan.

After Han Sui also captured Jincheng, he cautiously looked at the triangular alliance in the north, which was composed of Chen Cheng, Cheng Yi, and Yang Qiu. He now has three counties, but the Northern Alliance has a total territory of four counties, and his troops are stronger than him.

Although Chen Cheng said that Han Sui was more cautious and less courageous, this time, Han Sui's caution was justified. Ma Teng sent troops to Jincheng, was defeated by Han Sui, and when he was panicking, he heard the news that Chengyi Yang Qiu recommended Chen Cheng as the pastor of Liangzhou, and immediately climbed up and recognized Chen Cheng's position as the pastor of Liangzhou.

Chen Cheng also reciprocated the favor, wrote Ma Teng, and named him a stable guard. Similarly, in order to protect themselves, Cheng Yin and Zhang Heng also supported Chen Cheng as the pastor of Liangzhou, so that the triangular alliance in the north became a six-party alliance, and the territory instantly expanded to six counties, and the strength was far superior to Han Sui's side.

Although these six people are definitely not of the same mind, before figuring out the situation, Han Sui still chose to stand still.

As a result, Liangzhou, which had been made into a pot of porridge a few days ago, suddenly calmed down. The envoys of the princes kept coming and going on the road, trying to win over more people to their side. However, Han Sui calculated and found that the princes of Liangzhou were either killed by him, or forced into the opposite alliance by him. The only one who still has the strength and has not recommended Chen Cheng as the pastor of Liangzhou is Song Jian of Jiuquan County.

The two hit it off and secretly reached an alliance, agreeing to destroy Cheng Yin Zhang Heng first, and then Cheng Yi Yang Qiu, and after seizing the entire Liangzhou, "divide the land equally, and always be good for the alliance". The two sides agreed on a date to send troops, but before the time was agreed, the envoy sent by the two to Lingzhou sent back the news, saying that the envoy of the other party had been found in Lian County, and Song Jian (Han Sui) had secretly fallen to Chen Cheng........

Song Jian is not stupid, teaming up with Han Sui? Ahh Bian Zhang, the lessons of Wang Guo and others are not so easy to forget.

Since Chen Chengyuan was in Linrong, it was inconvenient for the envoys to come and go, so he ordered Yan Zhong to handle all affairs in the state on his behalf. Yan Zhong is a famous man in Liangzhou, whether it is among the princes of all walks of life, or among the scholars and heroes, he has a high reputation. As soon as he stepped forward, everyone was submissive, at least on the surface.

Regardless of whether these people were afraid of Chen Cheng's martial arts or sincerely convinced Yan Zhong, Liangzhou had a rare period of calm. The princes took the opportunity to lick their wounds in the lair and continued to send more emissaries to each family.

After a period of time, Yan Zhong ordered Song Jian to be appointed as the Taishou of Jiuquan, and Han was named the Taishou of Jincheng. Song Jian happily accepted the order, but Han Sui was angry and immediately tore the silk book to pieces after receiving the edict. He now monopolizes the land of the three counties, but he only named him the Jincheng Taishou, what? Do you want him to hand over Hanyang and Longxi? Although Li Xiangru, the Taishou of Longxi, is still alive, he is Han Sui's close comrade-in-arms, and he has always been the only one who looks forward to Han Sui.

As a result, Han Sui did not recognize Chen Cheng's title of Liangzhou Mu, but he also did not oppose it clearly, so he pretended not to see anything and nothing happened. After Lin Rong heard Han Sui's reaction, Chen Cheng laughed out loud and said, "I have long known that Han Sui is not a species. ”

He immediately wrote a letter to Yan Zhong, asking him to send an order to the princes of Liangzhou to go to Lian County after the autumn harvest to discuss the affairs of Liangzhou together. After Yan Zhong received Chen Cheng's letter, he said to Yan Xing with a smile: "It seems that the good days of Han Wen's appointment are not long gone. ”

Yan Xingdao: "Why did my uncle say this? ”

Yan Zhong said with a smile: "Now that all the princes of Liangzhou have recommended the prince as the pastor of Liangzhou, only Han Sui is silent. What can the princes do when they consult together? ”

Yan Xingdao: "Meet to defeat Han Sui? ”

Yan Zhong laughed and said, "If Han Sui doesn't come and doesn't send someone here, then he will definitely regret it!" ”

"I'm afraid that Han Sui won't sit still."

"Hey, Han Sui naturally won't sit still, but his reputation is too bad, and the scholars of Hanyang and Longxi have long been dissatisfied with him." Yan Zhong said with a smile: "The Jiang family, the Yang family, and other heroes in Hanyang have all secretly sent people here. You should know about this, too. ”

Of course, Yan Xing knew that there were many powerful people in Hanyang who were secretly plotting to expel Han Sui, because the people who came from Hanyang were all received by him, how could he not know?

Yan Zhong said again: "I am going to send you to Hanyang to deliver a letter to Han Sui, and by the way, I will see the situation in the three counties under Han Sui's command. If the prince really does something to Han Sui in the future, it will be a great achievement just by relying on this information! ”

Yan Xing asked in a low voice, "Will you really do anything to Han Sui?" ”

Yan Zhong shook his head and said, "Although I think it is best to send troops, I am afraid that the prince will not agree." ”

Yan Xing took Chen Cheng's letter to Han Sui, took more than a dozen soldiers, and returned directly to Hanyang County. After Han Sui captured Jincheng, in order to suppress the local heroes in Hanyang County, he led a large army back to Ji County. Hearing that the envoy of Liangzhou Mu Chen Cheng had arrived, Han Sui personally went out of the city to greet him.

"I heard that the envoy is Yan Bodao's nephew?"

Han Sui looked forty or fifty years old, more than seven feet tall, with a kind smile on his face, looking like a well-educated Confucian student, not a great warlord commanding 100,000 troops.

Yan Xing said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Yes." ”

Han Sui said with a smile: "In this way, Yanming is also a hero of Hanyang." It's a pity that I didn't know Yanming's martial arts before, otherwise I would definitely recruit Yanming as an official! ”

Yan Xingdao: "Although he is in the same vein as the Yan clan of Hanyang, my father has already moved to Jincheng twenty years ago. ”

Han Sui was even more happy, took Yan Xing's hand, and said with a smile: "I am also from Jincheng, so in this way, we are still fellow villagers!" ”

The unique dual monarchy system of the Han Dynasty made the people of this era often regard the county as a country, or it is precisely because the people of this era regard the county as a country that it has led to the unique dual monarchy. Therefore, if two people are in the same country, then the relationship will naturally be better than with other people.

Yan Xing had a strange feeling in his heart, he broke free, took two steps back, took out the bamboo slip, and said loudly: "Liangzhou Mu has an edict here!" ”

Han Sui smiled and said, "Yan Ming is a guest from afar, why is it so urgent? We will discuss business later, so let's talk about some personal feelings first. ”

Yan Xingzheng said: "A certain messenger should be public first and then private!" ”

The smile on Han Sui's face gradually disappeared, and his face became a little gloomy, but he was a scheming person, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, and said with a smile: "Yan Mingshijun is loyal, which is admirable. ”

He bowed his hand to Yan Xing and said, "Minister Han Sui, respectfully accept Chen's envoy Junjun's life." ”
