The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The most important part of Sun Ce's plan was for Sun Jian to return to Yuzhou immediately, strengthen his control over Yuzhou, especially Runan, and collect grain and grass. Runan is a large county, and if the rated tax can be collected in full, it will be enough to feed an army of 50,000 for two or three years, and there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass. The problem now is that the Runan family embezzled land and refused to pay taxes, so it is necessary to catch a few typical crackdowns.

Zhu Jun originally disagreed with Sun Ce's use of force, but now in order to welcome back the Son of Heaven, if Sun Ce's hands and feet are restrained, King Qin is just an empty word, so he has to reluctantly nod and agree, just instructing Sun Jian to stop in moderation and not to kill innocents indiscriminately.

Sun Jian promised that he would just get permission from the Taiwei Mansion, and what he wanted to do in the future, Zhu Jun couldn't stop him at all.

Sun Ce then mentioned another thing: Chen Deng was ordered by Yuan Shao to expel Lu Kang and seize Lujiang, which was an arrogant move without a court. If it is not punished, the people of the world will really regard Yuan Shao as the imperial court, what is the point of King Qin?

Zhu Jun was very hesitant and did not immediately agree to Sun Ce, but only agreed to ask the imperial court for an edict. He also has a reason, after all, Runan County belongs to Yuzhou, and what Sun Jian wants to do is his duty as a pastor in Yuzhou. Lujiang belongs to Yangzhou, and the Taiwei is in charge of military affairs, and he cannot exceed his authority and directly manage Yangzhou, otherwise he will be impeached.

Sun Ce agreed. He knew that Zhu Jun would not agree so readily, this hard bone had to be gnawed slowly, don't expect to get it done in one go. After the matter was settled in Yuzhou, he suggested that people be sent to contact all states and counties at the same time, especially the Xiliang army in Hedong. Hedong is in Luoyang and Chang'an, if the cooperation of the Western Liang Army cannot be guaranteed, King Qin is not King Qin, but the emperor is sent to the knife of the Western Liang Army, and no one can afford this responsibility.

Zhu Jun agreed. He promised that if the Xiliang army was willing to cooperate, he could go to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to issue an edict to pardon the Xiliang generals.

Jiang Gan then rushed to Hedong with Zhu Jun's promise and began his mission.

——

Two days later, Sun Jian led his troops to leave Luoyang and return to Yuzhou.

Sun Ce sent it far away, and sent Sun Jian all the way to Yuyuan Pass. Along the way, he carefully explained the entire strategy to Sun Jian, and even said the grand blueprint for going further and establishing the Sun dynasty.

Sun Jian listened very carefully, but he didn't talk much, neither surprised nor excited.

This is similar to Sun Ce's estimate.

It is not surprising, because according to the five virtues, the Han family has a certain number, and there will be a new dynasty revolution from the Western Han Dynasty, and the past few decades have been even more noisy, declaring that the Han family's fire virtue has been exhausted, and there are countless people who should stand in the country, and the Yellow Turban Uprising is just one of them. Sun Jian started with Shi Zangmin to crusade against the demon thief Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao was a small and strong Huiji, and he dared to call himself Emperor Yangming and incite a group of people to rebel, which is an absurd thing that can only appear in the background of public opinion. Xu Zhao can, of course the Sun family can, at least think about it.

is not excited, because Sun Jian is self-aware and has little confidence. In his opinion, it is inevitable to change the dynasty, but who can establish a new dynasty, no matter how it is counted, there will be no Sun family. Sun Ce occupied Nanjun and controlled Yuzhou, but these were not as good as Yuan Shao. Once Yuan Shao freed his hand and waved his army south, Sun Ce was not an opponent at all. It is possible to be a prince, and it is a fool's dream to be an emperor.

If it weren't for Sun Ce showing his ability, especially his steadiness, Sun Jian probably wouldn't want to listen to it, and directly thought he was crazy.

On the occasion of separation, Sun Jian raised his head and looked at Songgao Mountain in the distance. "Bo Fu, this kind of thing in the world is not something that can be achieved with hard work, and sometimes it depends on the yin virtue of the ancestors. After my family was a soldier saint, it was unknown for hundreds of years, and I have not heard of any ancestor who did anything very meritorious. You and I, father and son are martial artists, and the killings are very heavy, so it doesn't look like there is an atmosphere of establishing a new dynasty. Although you are not yet a marquis, you are much stronger than I was back then. If nothing else, your achievements will definitely surpass mine, and the Sun family will even have the opportunity to become the founding minister, you can be content and don't have to put any pressure on yourself. ”

Sun Ce bowed down to receive the order.

——

Yingyin, Gaoyangli.

Xun You got out of the car, looked up at the door, his eyes were indifferent, and turned around to help He Hao get out of the car. After half a month of bumps, although there was a four-wheeled carriage from Nanyang, He Hao was still exhausted, and Xun You had to go home to take a look at it, and prepared to rest in Yingyin for a few days before setting off.

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the door, a group of children gathered around, chattering around, and the bold reached out to touch the carriage. Xun You took a look and found that many people were very raw, but they had never seen them, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He helped He Hao into the inner door, came to the door of his house, and found that there were several waiters standing in front of the door next door, and immediately exchanged a look with He Hao.

"Check it out."

Xun Yu answered, first pushed open the door of his house, found a place under the porch, brushed off the dust, and let He Hao sit down and rest first. He turned around and went out the door, coming next door. The waiter immediately looked over, and Xun You smiled and said, "Excuse me, is the owner of this house still surnamed Xun?" ”

"yes, who are you?" The waiter's color softened.

"I live next door, and I am the slave of the owner, a family, a family."

"Slave?" The waiter looked at Xun You, not quite convinced. "You're a little old at this age, are you really Mr. Zhongyu's subordinate?"

At this time, a servant walked out, heard Xun You's voice, was stunned for a moment, turned around and shouted: "Master, master, Xun Gongda is back." Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly got out of the way and invited Xun You in. Xun You entered the door, and a middle-aged Confucian with a thin face walked out quickly, it was Xun Yue. As soon as he saw Xun You, tears came out, pulling Xun You's arm and crying with joy.

"Gongda, it's really you."

"Uncle Zhongyu, it's me. When did you get back? Who else has returned? ”

"There's no one else, just me." Xun Yue pulled Xun You inward, came to the hall, and arched his hand at the guests in the hall. "I'm really ashamed, I should have talked with Ming Ting, but my family has relatives back. Please come back to the Ming Court temporarily, I will visit the county temple on a certain day, and then ask the Ming Court for advice. ”

Seeing this, the man nodded with a smile, and bowed his hand to Xun Yu again. "In the lower Bohai Sea, the words are as obscure, and the Yingyin order is resigned. I heard that there are sages in Gaoyang, and I came to visit. ”

Xun You hurriedly returned the salute and reported his name. Gao Shen thought about it. "Xun Jun has been in Nanyang Wancheng recently?"

"I did live in Wancheng for a while. How did Ming Ting know? ”

Gao Shen clapped his hands, took a step forward, and took Xun You's hand. "Haha, I not only met Mr. Zhongyu today, but also Mr. Gongda. How fortunate it is. Can I bother a little longer, gentlemen? ”

Xun You smiled: "Ming Ting said that he was laughing. The Ming Court is here and welcome, but I have been away from home for several years, and I have just arrived home, and I haven't had time to clean it, so I'm afraid I won't be able to receive the Ming Court. ”

Gao Shen patted his forehead. "That's good, that's good, don't bother your uncle and nephew to talk, I'll retire first, and I'll come back to visit in two days." After speaking, he apologized again and again, and went away happily.

As soon as Gao Shen went out, Xun Yue smiled and said: "Gongda, ignore such laymen, tell me quickly, aren't you in Chang'an, why did you go to Wancheng again?" ”

Xun You pulled Xun Yue out of the door and came to his house. Seeing He Hao sitting under the porch, Xun Yue was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Yingchuan entered Xunyue and saw Mr. Boqiu."
