Chapter 83 Yuan Shizhong, the Governor of Fengyang

Zhang Xuan told Yuan Shizhong about this matter, but Yuan Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Shizhong said: "To be honest, third brother, you said that Jiangnan is good, I don't mean that Jiangnan is bad, it's just that my foundation is here, and it is inevitable that I will be a little flustered when I go to Jiangnan." ”

Indeed, in the evaluation of the government, Yuan Shizhong is a thief, not a rogue.

It has been active in the area of Nanzhili in Henan, but the Yellow River in the north, Runing in the south, Songshan in the west, and Fengyang in the east. These thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are familiar places in Yuan Shizhong. Yuan Shizhong has hardly stayed away, and he is extremely familiar with this area, and the familiar places also give Yuan Shizhong a sense of peace of mind.

If Yuan Shizhong himself is concerned, he would be willing to stay in Fengyang as a feudal official, rather than follow Luo Rucai to Jiangnan, but he doesn't know how many chairs to sit in.

Yuan Shizhong is actually used to dominating one side, and he is actually not used to being a person.

Zhang Xuan said: "Big brother thinks so, I am relieved." Since the eldest brother also has this intention, let's go to see His Highness quickly, don't let His Highness wait in a hurry. ”

Yuan Shizhong didn't dare to slack off, although he called Jin Shenghuan.

However, Jin Shenghuan's treatment is different from Yuan Shizhong's, Zhang Xuan just informed him, he is not too optimistic about Jin Shenghuan's conduct, but now that Jin Shenghuan is no longer under Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan can't control others. Naturally, he doesn't talk too much.

Zhang Xuan led Yuan Shizhong and Jin Shenghuan in to meet Luo Rucai.

Luo Rucai chatted with Yuan Shizhong for a while, and then issued Yuan Shizhong's appointment.

Yuan Shizhong was appointed as the governor of Fengyang, the governor of Fengyang Mansion, Xuzhou, Guide Mansion, Runing Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, and Luzhou Mansion. Five prefectures and one state, the area is so large that it is almost a province. This was also the first feudal official appointed by Cao Ying.

And in terms of appointment, it also broke through the official system of the Dashun court. Instead, he continued to use the official position of the imperial court. The meaning of independence is very strong.

Of course, although Yuan Shizhong's official position is large, he can actually only govern one or two counties in De, Xuzhou, Runing Mansion, and Fengyang Mansion along the Huai River near the county seat.

With Yuan Shizhong's appointment, many appointments have also been released.

Jin Shenghuan was appointed as Yuan Shizhong's deputy general, which can be regarded as a promotion.

Wang Du was appointed as the defense envoy of Runing. Yuan Shimin was appointed as the defense envoy of Guide, plus Wang Daoshan, the defense envoy of Xuzhou. It is all the ruling institutions of Cao Ying in Huaixi. If it happens to be soldiers and horses, the three places plus Yuan Shizhong's headquarters will be around 50,000, but the garrison troops in various places are dead, unless, Yuan Shizhong is ready to put these places

abandoned, so Yuan Shizhong could only use the men and horses of one or two thousand mobile troops.

The entire Fengyang Town is more than enough to defend and not enough to attack.

However, now that Lu Zhenfei is also defending and not attacking enough, there is no problem in thinking about it.

After these things were explained, the others were sent away by Luo Rucai, leaving Luo Yulong alone, and Luo Rucai said to Luo Yulong: "In the future, you have to get close to Yuan Shizhong, after all, he is your eldest brother." ”

"Yes." Luo Yulong said.

When Luo Rucai was talking to Yuan Shizhong, Luo Yulong was also beside him, and at this moment he had a feeling of wanting to speak, and Luo Rucai saw it and said, "What do you want to say, say." ”

"Father, you handed over almost all of our current territory to Yuan Shizhong, aren't you afraid?" Luo Yulong said.

"Afraid of what?" Luo Rucai said.

"What should I do if Yuan Shizhong doesn't listen to orders in the future? After all, Xiao Yuanying is also the head of the old camp. Yuan Shizhong is still somewhat famous. Luo Yulong said.

"Hahaha." Luo Rucai laughed and said, but he was a little happy in his heart, but how to say that Luo Yulong at least began to think about betrayal, thinking that if he had a little more time, he would be able to teach Luo Yulong well, a lot, at least he would not be easily put on the table.

He said: "My son, you have to learn to look at people, Yuan Shizhong I can see clearly, he has no self-reliance, just like he has a little self-reliance, he will not be under Zhang Xuan." As long as our family can handle him, he will not go to another door unless he has to. And in the world, what is the most important thing is military power, and I will certainly hand over these territories to him. But as long as the military power is in hand, I can ask for it. ”

Luo Rucai saw Yuan Shizhong's mind very accurately, but there was one person's mind that was not too accurate, and that was Zhang Xuan. Thinking about it occasionally, Luo Rucai couldn't figure out what Zhang Xuan thought, but there was one thing he could see, that is, Zhang Xuan was sincere to Luo Yujiao. Zhang Xuan doesn't seem to have any bad intentions for the Luo family, and as for the rest of Luo Rucai, he can only take it to heart.

On the second day, Cao Ying went up and down, and the leaders with heads and faces arrived.

This meeting was in the main hall of the Fengyang Palace, densely packed with more than 100 people, among which the battalion officers under Zhang Xuan, headed by Cao Zongyu, Cheng Jikong, Wang Jincai, Zheng He, etc., were all here, occupying many seats, and the others were subordinates of other generals in Cao Ying.

Almost the entire backbone of the Cao camp is here, and if anyone kills these hundreds of people, the Cao camp must disintegrate immediately.

As Luo Rucai coughed, everyone calmed down, and Luo Rucai said, "Mr. Zhang, let me introduce the situation to everyone." ”

"Yes." Zhang Zhen said.

Then his gaze swept over everyone and said: "If Huang Degong is dead, Fengyang Town has been broken, from Fengyang to the north of the river, there is no official army that is our opponent." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was very excited, they had been fighting for months, wasn't that what they were doing?

Zhang Zhen paused slightly, and said: "From Fengyang to Nanjing, the nearest road is from Fengyang to Chuzhou, into Liuhe, Jiangpu, and Nanjing is just a river away. However, there is a bad thing about this road, that is, from then on to cross the river, the river is vast, it is not easy to fly across, when Emperor Taizu went down to the south of the Yangtze River, it was to turn around and quarry, so that the King of Kaiping became famous in a war. ”

Zhang Xuan's heart moved slightly, the battle of Quarry Rock.

It was only after Zhang Xuan came to this era that he knew about the Battle of Quarry Rock, and he also knew the demeanor of Chang Yuchun. In terms of bravery, Chang Yuchun is not inferior to Huang Degong, and he is a first-class fierce general. When attacking the quarry, the Yuan army was very well guarded, the sailors did not dare to dock, often encountered the spring such as thunder, wading across the river, the Yuan army bows and arrows gathered, the spear hedgehog gathered, to the Chang Yu Chun stab, often met the spring to grab the gun, borrowed the strength to go ashore, brave and unparalleled, broke the Yuan army formation, hard to pick up the brigade of soldiers ashore, and then broke The Hague in quarrying. Chang Yuchun also took a fancy to Zhu Yuanzhang because of this battle, and became one of Zhu Yuanzhang's two most important generals, known as Chang 100,000 who could run rampant in the Central Plains with 100,000 people. The strange man in the world also.

"However, we have a big problem in front of us, and that is the Yangtze River." Zhang Zhen said: "Jiangbei troops are not to worry, although there is Shi Kefa to garrison Yangzhou, but in the army, these southern soldiers are just paper paste, but the Yangtze River is vast, without Zhouji, it is difficult to leap." ”

"Don't we have a water master? Let Zhou Fuchen take us across the river. I don't know what the stunned young man said.

For a while, above the main hall, there was silence at first, and then the hall burst into laughter, and I don't know who reprimanded: "Stupid, our fleet is in the Huai River, which is on the Yangtze River, how to pass, isn't it in the past?" ”

"Isn't the Yangtze River connected to the Huai River?" The man muttered quietly.

This sentence stopped people.

There is a canal between the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and it is not impossible to transport the boats of the Huai River to the Yangtze River.

A few people with a heart thought silently and looked at Zhang Qian.

Zhang Xuan had already secretly shook his head. It's too late.

The soldiers are fast and fast, the importance of Jiangnan, the righteous army knows, and the officers and soldiers also know, don't treat the officers and soldiers as fools. If it weren't for the gap of Fengyang's fall. I'm afraid Zuo Liangyu is coming, and he will fight all the way along Huai'an and Yangzhou, which is too slow.

As Zhang Xuan expected, Zhang Zhen also denied this opinion, but it was not the reason Zhang Xuan thought, Zhang Zhen said: "I wait for the new sailor to become a new master, and it is impossible to fight all the way to the Yangtze River, so this battle cannot be counted on General Zhou." ”
