Chapter 177: The Situation in Xiliang



This is the Youzhou Mansion, and Zhao Yi, who is the pastor of Youzhou, is still so cautious. Zhao Yi's attitude made Gao Shun nervous, thinking that it must be a difficult task to complete, and only he is qualified and capable of completing the task, otherwise Zhao Yi would not be able to transfer Gao Shun here from a hundred miles away. Listen carefully to what Zhao Yi said.

I heard Zhao Yi say: "I want the general to enter the Qiu Li Ju Department and investigate the internal personnel of the Qiu Li Ju Department, especially the matter of the birth mother of the young son Lou Ban." For example, who does she associate closely with, and what is her personality? Who is her confidant? It's best to be able to catch the henchmen of Lou Ban's biological mother or Lou Ban's biological mother herself, I have a lot of use. ”

Gao Shun's eyes flashed after hearing Zhao Yi's order, he was too familiar with Gao Shun of the Wuhuan tribe. In the battle with Wen Qin's troops that day, even if Gao Shun's tactics were used properly, thousands of elite soldiers were almost lost. Now that Zhao Yi let him enter the Wuhuan tribe, it was simply letting him enter the tiger's mouth, but Gao Shun still agreed without hesitation: "The last general will take the order." ”

Zhao Yi nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that there are such loyal ministers and righteous people, why worry about the big thing. Now that Gao Shun has agreed, Zhao Yi waved his hand to let Zhou Wen in, and Zhao Yi's ultimate goal was not to say to Zhou Wen, lest Zhou Wen be nervous in his heart, and it would not be good to show his feet in the Wuhuan tribe.

These five hundred Fan Yang soldiers were all veterans who originally followed Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi smiled and said the names of several people, and praised these people with a smile. The red light on the faces of those soldiers was excited, but they didn't expect that Zhao Yi, who had become a Youzhou pastor, would still know himself and talk to himself so kindly, which made these soldiers very excited.

There was no sense of resistance to Zhao Yi's order, and he happily agreed. Zhao Yi's order was very simple, let them protect the safety of Zhou Ping's goods, and let them obey Gao Shun's orders in everything.

These hundreds of people walked extremely fast, and within a quarter of an hour of walking out of the city gate, they had already turned into small black dots. When Zhao Yi turned his head and was about to return to the city, Dian Wei came to Zhao Yi and handed over a letter: "My lord, Batu has a letter." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Yi was a little strange about Batu's letter, and hurriedly opened it and looked at it, it turned out to be the list of the dead who attacked the Xianbei tribe, which listed the names of dozens of soldiers, and asked Zhao Yi to give them subsidies, Zhao Yi scolded with a smile: "You take the benefits, and let me give you a subsidy, where to reason." Having said that, Zhao Yi still gave those dozens of soldiers subsidies. It was these Wuhuan soldiers who exchanged their lives for the peace of Youzhou, and for this alone, Zhao Yi would not be stingy with this small subsidy.

Zhao Yi followed Dian Wei back to the palace and sent his henchmen to pass the order to the Batu tribe. Youzhou Mansion has Qiu Ming and others to help, and there are Wuhuan soldiers outside, at this time, the three major Xianbei tribes such as Kebineng on the border are caught in mutual conquest, and each other's strength is slowly shrinking in the mutual conquest, making them unable to invade the inland at all. The three divisions have lost a lot of soldiers, and the conflict can no longer be stopped by words, unless there is a stunning character to unify the Xianbei tribes on the periphery, otherwise the rush of the troops will only intensify.

The more chaotic the Xianbei tribe outside, the more stable Zhao Yi's position will be. As soon as the herald soldier walked down, a soldier came in and said, "My lord, Jizhou Mu Zhu Jun, Lord Zhu has arrived outside the mansion." ”

Zhu Jun? He's back from Xiliang? Zhao Yi was very surprised by Zhu Jun's visit, and hurriedly went out to greet him. I haven't seen Zhu Jun for many days, and he is slightly emaciated, and he doesn't want to live well in Xiliang. Zhao Yi walked out with a smile and bowed his hand slightly, and said, "Lord Zhu." At this time, Zhao Yi's official position is the same as Zhu Jun's, so he doesn't have to take the initiative to bow down.

Zhu Jun has an excellent relationship with Zhao Yi, and the reason why he has today's achievements has a lot to do with his official position and Zhao Yi. is very sure of Zhao Yi's ability, but he is very surprised by the speed of Zhao Yi's promotion, and in less than a year, he has grown from a county order to a state pastor. In the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhao Yi was the first official to be promoted so quickly, and Zhao Yi is still young now, which can be described as promising.

"Bolai doesn't have to be polite, but the achievements of Bolai who haven't seen Bolai for many days are surprising to the old man, hehe." Zhu Jun praised Zhao Yi twice, and followed Zhao Yi into the mansion with a smile.

"The lord came back from Xiliang, but he defeated Beigong Boyu?" Zhao Yi ordered someone to pour tea and asked with a smile.

Speaking of the Xiliang War, Zhu Jun smiled bitterly: "Bolai really thinks highly of me, then Beigong Boyu has both wisdom and bravery, and our department has a draw with him." When he said this, Zhu Jun thanked Zhao Yi and said: "I was invincible and undefeated, thanks to Sun Jian and Cao Cao recommended by Zhao Yi. "Because of the Xiliang War, a lot of soldiers and horses were broken, and many officials were also dismissed. If Zhu Jun hadn't been invincible, the official position of Jizhou Mu would have been taken by the imperial court a long time ago.

When Zhu Jun received the order of the imperial court that day, because of the unsuccessful conquest of many soldiers and horses, Zhu Jun was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and wrote a letter to ask Zhao Yi to go with the army, but at that time, Zhao Yi was busy with the affairs of Zhuojun and had no time to go, so he could only recommend Cao Cao and Sun Jian to Zhu Jun. If Zhao Yi had come out, the situation might not have been like this at this time.

"The adults have won the award, that's the ability of the two of them, what does it have to do with me." Zhao Yi was not greedy for merit, and was a little curious about the war in Xiliang, "Since the lord has returned, who is responsible for the war in Xiliang at this time?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jun's face was even more bitter: "At this time, it is Dong Zhuo who is in charge of the Xiliang war, hehe." "For this Dong Zhuo, who bribed the ten permanent servants, not only Zhu Jun but even Huangfu Song did not have a very good impression of him, thinking that Dong Zhuo was just a speculative person, and he had no real talent at all.

Zhao Yi's opinion is a little different from Zhu Jun's, if Dong Zhuo doesn't have some ability, how can there be chaos in the future with only bravery, "Don't underestimate Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo once traveled to the Qiang tribe when he was young, and had a very good personal relationship with the leader of the Qiang tribe, let him deal with the Qiang tribe, but he has unique conditions." ”

Even though Zhao Yi warned Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun still did not change his mind: "The wisdom of Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang clan, is not under Zhang Jiao. Since Dong Zhuo will be defeated in the hands of Zhang Jiao, he is naturally not Beigong Boyu's opponent. Saying that, Zhu Jun looked at Zhao Yi with burning eyes, "Bolai, in the future, the imperial court will definitely send you to conquer Xiliang." You have to be ready. ”

"The situation in Youzhou is turbulent, and the danger is still greater than that of Xiliang, I guess the imperial court will send Yangzhou soldiers and horses to conquer Xiliang." Zhao Yi waved his hand and said.

Zhu Jun looked at Zhao Yi with a smile and didn't say anything more. What Zhao Yi said is good, the situation in Youzhou is indeed more complicated than that in Liangzhou, but since Zhao Yi served as the state pastor, Youzhou, which had frequent wars in the past, has been calm for more than two months, and this situation can be maintained for half a year. Zhao Yi, the state pastor, will definitely be sent by the imperial court to Xiliang to fight against Beigong Boyu.

Let Zhao Yi serve as the pastor of Youzhou is to suppress the Yi tribe in the north, the more Zhao Yi suppresses the Yi tribe, the more stable Youzhou is, the court will give you other errands, and even dismiss Zhao Yi under other excuses. The reason why Zhu Jun was sent to Xiliang was also because of this reason.

If there is no turmoil in Youzhou, then Zhao Yi, the pastor of Youzhou, will have no need to do it. However, Zhu Jun did not say this to Zhao Yi, firstly, he was afraid of dampening Zhao Yi's spirit, and secondly, he was also a little afraid that Zhao Yi would do something extreme when he learned about this law of officialdom.

Zhao Yi is so clever a little bit, he will understand the meaning. As for the strategy, Zhu Jun had already thought of it, and for the opposing imperial court forces that were active in Youzhou, he would suppress the two and leave one of them, and wait until the remnants grew up, and then carry out the purge. Youzhou is unstable, and Zhao Yi, the herd of Youzhou, is stable. However, in this way, Zhao Yi's official position was saved, but the people of Youzhou suffered. Zhu Jun could think of it, how could Zhao Yi not think of it, so Zhu Jun didn't say it, and Zhu Jun was very confident in Zhao Yi, the hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain troops that were rampant in Jizhou were wiped out by Zhao Yi in less than a month, how could Beigong Boyu be Zhao Yi's opponent.

The two of them talked about politics and the military, and then from the military to the people's livelihood, and then Zhao Yi slowly pulled them into the pure dew business. He did not say that Zhou Ping was doing things for himself, but that he should encourage the development of commerce, because only when commerce is prosperous, can the state capital prosper.

Speaking of the hydrosol business that is popular in Youyou and Hebei, Zhu Jun is also very red-eyed, and the silver of the white flowers was easily scraped away by Zhou Ping. There is no problem in helping Zhou Ping expand the Jizhou market, but Zhu Jun also put forward his own conditions, which is nothing more than asking for money.

"As for the price, you can wait for Mr. Zhou to come back from the Wuhuan tribe, and then discuss it with the adults." Zhao Yi can also make a decision on this matter, but he doesn't want Zhu Jun to know about his relationship with Zhou Ping.

"Wuhuan tribe?" Zhu Jun's eyes were full of surprise, and his beard trembled. Zhu Jun of the Wuhuan tribe has also heard of it for a long time, and when Liu Yan was a pastor in Youzhou in the past, he often raided the border. And the newly appointed Zhao Yi didn't know what method he used, he actually let the Wuhuan tribe keep to himself, and also opened up trade between the two sides, Zhu Jun saw that Zhao Yi's gaze had changed, and originally thought that Zhao Yi was using force to suppress the surrounding Yi tribes, but looking at the current situation, Zhao Yi did not use force. Zhao Yi is not only resourceful, but also has outstanding political achievements, which can really be described as a talent in civil and military affairs.

Jizhou was busy with government affairs, and Zhu Jun stayed in Youzhou for a day before returning to Jizhou.

After passing through Yuyang County and walking for five days, Gao Shun and the others finally came to the periphery of the Wuhuan tribe in Liaoxi County, passing through the two counties, Zhao Yi's official guide gave them a lot of help, but when they entered the Wuhuan tribe, Zhao Yi's guide was a piece of waste paper, and if they wanted to get out safely, they still had to rely on themselves.

Looking at the stacked houses in front of him, Gao Shun waved his hand to stop these soldiers: "Let's go in carefully and try not to make trouble." ”

Surrounded by tens of thousands of Wuhuan soldiers, not to mention the hundreds of soldiers behind him, even if they were ten times more, they would be completely wiped out.

Gao Shun and the others were stopped by a group of Wuhuan cavalry before they arrived at the tribe, and the leader looked at Gao Shun and other soldiers vigilantly, asking who they were? What is the so-called thing about coming to the Wuhuan tribe?

Zhou Ping explained his intention without humility or arrogance, the leader nodded, thinking that he had already received the signal from those generals, and glanced at Gao Shun and the others: "Who are they, the Wuhuan tribe does not allow so many people to enter." ”

If Gao Shun is left behind, how can he complete what Zhao Yi explained?
