Chapter 218: Hanyang Taishou

Seeing that the cloth was not written on the list of gifts, but the geography of the mountains and rivers of Hanyang County, Chen Cheng smiled slightly, and immediately jumped off the horse, he walked up to Yang Fu, and said with a smile: "I neglected the strong man just now." I don't know what kind of job I am living in? ”

Yang Fu suppressed the joy in his heart and replied calmly: "For the time being, it is Shangqi Gongcao." ”

Chen Cheng said: "I want to appoint you as a partial general, and concurrently serve as the commander of Shangtai County, in order to guard against the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Yang Fu tidied up his clothes, bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Minister Yang Fu, please see the lord!" ”

Chen Cheng helped him up and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that General Yang has sent these supplies, but I'm even happier to get a talent like the general!" But what do you mean by giving me a map of Hanyang-gun? Do you want me to annex Hanyang-gun? ”

Yang Fu stood up and said, "Now Han Sui is held by Zhang Heng, and Hanyang has no owner." More than a dozen cities, tens of thousands of people, just a piece of paper can be obtained at your fingertips, the lord has no intention? The ancients said: If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it. I hope the Lord will be clear! ”

He secretly said in his heart: The lord left Lu Fang in Longxian County, and transferred Li Jun, Wang Ling, and others, who were born in Hanyang County, how could he have no thoughts about Hanyang?

Sure enough, Chen Cheng said: "What General Yang said is very reasonable, but I heard that there are many heroes and powers in Hanyang, and each has hundreds or thousands of parts. Moreover, Han Sui is just a guest at Zhang Heng, and one day he will come back, will there be something wrong with me rashly taking over Hanyang County? Will the local taxis and the strong be able to accept it? ”

Yang Fu immediately replied: "The minister has lived in Hanyang for a long time, and he knows a lot about the heroes in the county, and he is willing to go to the lord everywhere!" ”

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "If you can say that the rest of the places will come and fall, you should be the county of Hanyang." ”

Yang Fu said happily: "I will definitely live up to the order of the lord!" ”

He left all the cattle wine he had sent, and then returned to Shangtai with his troops. The guard has been watching from the city, and when he saw Yang Fu at this time, he said happily: "But it's confirmed?" ”

Yang Fu nodded and said, "The person who came is indeed Liangzhou Mu Chen's envoy. ”

The guard said: "In this case, you will go out of the city with me to greet you!" ”

Yang Fu stood still, just with a smile on his face. The guard general was puzzled and asked, "What does Yishan mean by this?" ”

The troops brought by Yang Fu on the side said proudly: "Chen Yuanjun has appointed my lord as the partial general, and he also receives the Shangqi County Order!" After seeing the local county order, still don't bow down? ”

The guard general was stunned and looked at Yang Fu who stood proudly with a dumbfounded expression. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Yishan is really a good skill." ”

Yang Fu smiled and said: "Where, in the past, I relied on the general to take care of me, and in the future, I will be equal to the palace as a minister, and I will serve Chen Zhijun together, and I hope that the general can help him!" ”

The guard general shook his head with a wry smile, then bowed to the ground and said, "The last general will meet Yang County Order." ”

The Yang family is the surname of Hanyang, and Yang Fu has served here for a long time, and he is clear about who dares to fight and who is cunning in the army, so he immediately lit up a hundred elite cavalry, took all the equipment from the arsenal, and then welcomed Chen Cheng into the city. Chen Cheng only brought the two hundred guards who had been re-replenished into the city, but the army was stationed outside the city.

Liang Xing, Li Kan and other generals persuaded: "Hanyang is a place where Han Sui has been operating for a long time, and there must be people who are looking for him." The lord only brought two hundred men into the city, but it was too dangerous. ”

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "If there are only two hundred of me, it may be a little dangerous, but with you and other troops stationed outside, even if there are some people with bad intentions, how dare you act rashly?" ”

So he walked in through the city gate under the leadership of Yang Fu. Shangtai changed hands several times in the tug-of-war between Ding Yuan and Han Sui, and the people in the city were only four or five out of ten, at this time they heard about Chen Cheng's arrival, and they secretly looked at the soldiers and horses entering the city through the door panel or window, and saw that the number of troops coming in was not much, and the people in the city felt a little more at ease.

The army stayed outside the city for one night, and the next day they set camp and continued westward. Yang Fu changed into iron armor, a shackle, and a ring-headed knife and a carved bow, and ordered the troops and the city's elites to follow behind, and beat up the banner that had been rushed overnight.

He bowed down to Chen Cheng and said, "The minister will take the first step and go to the Lord to say that he will descend to all parts of Hanyang." ”

Chen Cheng bowed his head slightly and said, "Then I'm waiting for your good news." ”

Yang Fu led his subordinates to throw off the brigade and rushed straight to Ji County. Ji County is the seat of Hanyang County, where soldiers, horses, money and grain are located, and it is also Yang Fu's hometown. The powerful men in the county all knew Yang Fu, and when they saw him leading the troops, they opened the city gate and let him in. After Han Sui was caught by Zhang Heng and went to Wudu County, Hanyang's Haoqiang's mind was active, and at this time, I heard Yang Fu say how Chen Cheng respected the virtuous and respectful people, and saw Yang Fu leap into the Shangtai County Order, and they were all overjoyed.

They said one after another: "Hanyang has been suffering for a long time, and today Chen Envoy Jun is coming, which is the day when we will come out." ”

So the remaining seven counties of Hanyang were all returned to Chen Cheng without blood, and Chen Cheng also appointed Yang Fu as the county governor of Hanyang in accordance with his previous promise, and rewarded the local heroes and powers, and sealed the county commanders, county lieutenants, gongcao and other positions without money. Not only that, but on the first day he entered Ji County, he announced in public that because Hanyang had been repeatedly fired, he would be exempted from this year's tax, and next year's tax would only have to be paid half.

It's just that the position of Hanyang Taishou has not been decided, but it has made the heroes in the county talk about it. Just after Chen Cheng brought thousands of soldiers and horses to Ji County, the local Haoqiang people kept walking around in tandem, wanting to ask who Chen Yuanjun cared about.

Li Jun and Wang Ling are both local heroes in Hanyang, and they are also the first Liangzhou people to follow Chen Cheng. In the battle to break the Xiongnu, because of their military exploits, together with Yao Qiong, a native of Wudu, they were awarded the county orders of Shuofang and Wuyuan. A year later, he was transferred to Hanyang and cooperated with Lu Fang to seize Longxian, Ayang and other places.

As a result, Yao Qiong was named Wudu Juncheng, and Li Jun and Wang Ling were named Governor of Hanyang and Hanyang Changshi respectively. Although Li Jun and Wang Ling were once powerful in Hanyang, their family power was not very strong, and they only became several high-ranking officials in the county because they followed Chen Cheng first.

Although many of the heroes of Hanyang feel that these two people are mediocre, they think that they are just taking advantage of the early investment, and they feel that I can do it. But Haoqiang and the scholars were really envious in their hearts, and there was an endless stream of people coming in and out of the two's mansion, and they took the opportunity to inquire about the candidates for Hanyang Taishou.

"Captain Li, you are Chen Yuanjun's confidant general, haven't you heard some rumors?"

"Wang Changshi, do you know who the new Taishou will be?"

Li Jun and Wang Lingyi returned to their hometown and returned to their hometown, on the one hand, they felt the joy that could not be spoken, and on the other hand, they felt unbearable. Although they are already high-ranking officials of 600 stone and more than 2,000 stone, they have always only obeyed orders, and they have not participated in the decision-making level at all. Taishou can be said to be the most important position among foreign ministers, and they are high-ranking officials who can participate in the promulgation of policies.

Fortunately, within two days, the new Hanyang Taishou had already taken office, which cooled down the mood of the heroes of Hanyang. It was none other than Lu Fang, the former governor of the northern land, who was worshipped as the Taishou of Hanyang. After following Chen Cheng south, Lü Fang did not continue to advance eastward to participate in the attack on Chen Cang, but stayed in Longxian.

After Han Sui and Li Xiangru were controlled, he quickly joined forces with Ma Teng, seized Longxian and other places one after another, and opened up the road from Beidi to Guanzhong. Lü Fang had been the commander of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and among the hundreds of people who followed Chen Cheng to Liangzhou, he was the highest in his position at that time. Now that he has been promoted to Taishou by the first, everyone has nothing to say.

As for Yang Qiu and Fu Gan, one is a problem left over from history, and the other is after the Zhuangjie Hou, which is different from the situation this time and cannot be compared.

In terms of military merits and qualifications, Lu Fang was enough, so in the second year after he escaped from Luoyang, he achieved the position of Hanyang Taishou. Li Jun and Wang Ling have both worked with Lu Fang, and recently served under Lu Fang for a period of time, knowing that this former boss is not only tough in the background, but also has stronger wrists, and does not dare to have any disrespect.

On the contrary, it was those strong people in Hanyang who were a little dissatisfied with an outsider being the Taishou of Hanyang. These people gathered together and discussed: "Although Han Wenyue is not from Hanyang County, he is also from Liangzhou, and the new Taishou is not our Liangzhou at all, why did he become the Taishou of Hanyang?" ”

With jealousy and dissatisfaction, many people looked in the direction of Ji County to see how things would develop next.

Lu Fang had heard about the evaluation of the outside world, but he didn't pay attention to it at all. The situation now is different from when they fled into Liangzhou in a hurry. At that time, there was only one of their civil servants, Yan Zhong, and there were only a few generals and no more than hundreds, so they naturally needed to be cautious.

But now that Chen Cheng has thousands of miles of territory under his command, dozens of generals, and 100,000 soldiers and horses, why should he care about the noise of local heroes? He looked at the military generals with different expressions in the lobby, and said in his heart: Dong Zhuo can kill the heroes of the state, can't the lord do it? These fools in Hanyang, don't they think that the main guild is used to them like Han Sui?

Many people think that Chen Cheng is soft-hearted and often has the kindness of a woman. Lu Fang never thought so, he followed Chen Cheng to kill in Luoyang City, and then quickly gained a foothold in Liangzhou, compared to others, he was closer to Chen Cheng, and he could see Chen Cheng's personality more clearly.

He secretly said in his heart: Although the lord does not do something, he does even more!

The voice of the tooth soldier in the hall gave an order in a loud voice, "The lord asks Hanyang Taishou Lu Fang to step forward!" ”

Lu Fang looked solemn and walked forward unhurriedly and slowly on the floor. Today is by far the most important moment in his life, and there can be no more mistakes! The iron armor on his body was polished and shiny, and he wore a large crown of martial arts on his head. Walking to the lobby, Lu Fang stepped forward and fell to the ground, took the sword seal seal from Chen Cheng's hand, and then said loudly: "Minister Lu Fang, the lord will not give up, and he will be entrusted with the post of Hanyang Taishou, and he will do his best, and dare not slack off for a moment!" ”

Chen Cheng stepped forward to help Lu Fang up, then took a few steps back, looked Lu Fang up and down carefully, and then said with a smile: "When I was in Luoyang in the past, I knew Lu Taishou's talent!" Today's appointment of Qing as a county keeper is not only a reward, but also a use of energy. I hope you can make another contribution in the appointment of Hanyang Taishou! ”

Lu Fang raised his head and clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Respectfully!" ”
