There are five counties in Yuzhou, in addition to Runan, which is the largest and most populous, there are four counties of Yingchuan, Chenguo, Liangguo and Peiguo. Although Qiao Rui is the Taishou of Runan, Sun Ce is currently stationed in Pingyu, which is equivalent to directly controlling Runan, Pang Shanmin is in Yingchuan, Du attacked and went to Peiguo, only Liang Guo and Chen Guo remained, Sun Ce originally planned to keep it as it was and not adjust it for the time being.

The reason is very simple, Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun is a Huiji Wu hurt people, and he is in a different county from Sun Ce, but he is very close, and he is half a fellow countryman. Liang Guoxiang Yuan Lian is the son of Situ Yuan Peng and Cai Yong's cousin, Cai Yong's mother is Yuan Peng's own sister. These two people have good official reputations, and they do not explicitly oppose the Sun family's father and son, so there is no need to remove them in this case, which is plain and unremarkable.

But Guo Jia is right, Yuan Jian is suitable for being an official in a peaceful and prosperous era, but he can't afford to calm down in troubled times. Xin Bi took two hundred people through the county, but Yuan Jian didn't send any news at all, either because his vigilance was too poor, or he had other ideas. Suiyang is a battleground for soldiers, and it cannot be controlled in his hands.

Sun Ce discussed with Guo Jia and called Lu Fan. "You go to Liang Guo to meet Yuan Lian, I will ask him to be a farewell. You stay in Suiyang to act as an agent for government affairs. ”

Lu Fan was overjoyed. Guarding Liang Guo on behalf of him is a trial, and if he does a good job, he is Liang Xiang. From a county official to Liang Xiang, it can be said that it is not unimportant.

Lu Fan went happily and took more than 100 rangers to take office.

Sun Ce then led the Runan soldiers to Pingchun, and at the same time, he traveled to Nanyang and asked Zhou Yu to lead his troops to assist. This time it was by no means a simple subduing of these Yellow Turban Army, but directly taking down Liu Xun.

——

Huayin.

Xun You and Jia Xu stood side by side on the cliff, overlooking the Yellow River. The Yellow River passes through the Loess Plateau in Bingzhou, rushing down, where the Weishui River gathers, which is even more turbulent, and her galloping momentum can be felt from so far away.

"Everyone in the world is talking about the Yellow Dragon, isn't that the biggest Yellow Dragon?" Jia Xu sighed.

Xun You moved closer to him. "Brother Wen He also believes in these?"

"I don't believe it." Jia Xu said without thinking: "I don't believe in the mandate of heaven. I believe more in human schemes than in the illusory destiny. ”

Xun Yu sighed and looked at Jia Xu with great interest. Jia Xu turned to look at Xun You. "Let's go, talk as we go. If you come out for too long, I'm afraid something will happen in the camp. Xun You's heart was slightly cold, and the fingers in his sleeve were lightly hooked, and then he regained his calm. He followed Jia Xu down the mountain, and in the valley in the distance was Niu Fu's camp, where more than 20,000 soldiers had withdrawn from Luoyang. Zhang Liao took more than 100 knights to guard the foot of the mountain, and his car was there. When he walked to the bottom of the mountain, he was going to separate from Jia Xu and return to Chang'an.

He had a feeling that it was impossible to convince Jia Xu. Cao Cao said that if he couldn't convince Jia Xu, he would kill him. He didn't know how Cao Cao met Jia Xu, but judging from the few conversations he had with Jia Xu after meeting, Cao Cao's judgment was basically accurate.

This is a very dangerous person, who is well versed in the Confucian classics, but does not believe much in the morality advocated by Confucianism. If it doesn't work, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible. Zhang Liao and the others are at the foot of the mountain, as long as he gives an order, Jia Xu will definitely die. He also has a short knife in his sleeve, and it is not difficult to seize the opportunity and take Jia Xu's life.

"Xun Jun, do you know why Taishi Dong trusts Wang Zishi so much?"

Xun You quickened his pace and followed. "Please also ask for advice from Wenhe."

"Taishi heard about the reputation of Wang Zishi when he was punctual for Hedong, and he wanted to make friends with him. But Wang Zishi disliked his origin and refused to bow down to him. When the Taishi entered the court, Qu had already changed from a person, expelled celebrities from the court, and wanted to wash away his notoriety, but there were still few celebrities willing to accept him. The prince is willing to cooperate, but the prince can't ask for it, firstly, he has achieved his long-cherished wish for many years, and secondly, he hopes to reconcile with celebrities and scholars and manage the government together. ”

Xun You was silent for a moment. "Taishi Dong is dead and can't be resurrected, but Wen He and these tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers don't have to die."

"Is this what the prince meant?"

“…… Be. ”

"Then please ask the prince to issue an edict to pardon all the old divisions of the prince and comfort the army. It's not that I don't want to believe in the prince's master, it's that he has a negative master in front of him, and I can't convince Niu Fu and the others. With the edict of pardon, without me saying it, Niu Fu and others can also submit to the imperial court and atone for their sins. Jia Xu smiled silently. As soon as Taishi died, he was in a mess, and now as long as there is a glimmer of life, he will seize it with all his might. Not only him, but all the Xiliang soldiers are like this. They are ruthless when they kill, and they are afraid when they are killed. ”

Jia Xu turned around and looked at Xun Yu quietly. "Xun Jun, can you do it?"

Xun You met Jia Xu's gaze, feeling inexplicably anxious. He believed what Jia Xu said, but he didn't know if he could persuade Wang Yun to issue an edict to pardon these Xiliang people. Wang Yun always seems to oscillate between two extremes, either too tough to be approachable, or too soft to believe. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, he is in power, and he is ashamed of being attached to Dong Zhuo, it is really hard to say whether he can pardon Dong Zhuo's old department.

Jia Xu smiled, and smiled bitterly. "Xun Jun also thinks it's difficult, right?"

Xun You blinked, noncommittal. "What are Wen He's plans for the future?"

Jia Xu let out a sigh of relief, turned to look at the big camp in the valley, and walked forward. "Let's talk about it later, for now, the key is to pacify these tens of thousands of people first. Once it gets out of control, the people in the vicinity will suffer again. Enough blood has been shed, and the reputation of the Xiliang people is bad enough, and I don't want to see them do evil again. If this matter can be resolved and they can return to Xiliang, I can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue, worthy of the court and the Son of Heaven. ”

Xun You secretly smiled bitterly. The reason why he didn't do it for a long time was also worried about this. Jia Xu is alive, and he can barely convince Niu Fu to restrain his subordinates. If Jia Xu died, these Xiliang soldiers would be completely out of control, and the disaster would be even worse. On the contrary, it is the most feasible to go back and try to persuade Wang Yun first. Xun You thought for a moment and quickened his pace to catch up with Jia Xu.

"Brother Wenhe, I can't give you any guarantees, but I will do my best, I hope Brother Wenhe can give me a little time."

"I do my best."

"Thank you."

The two didn't say anything more, walked down the mountain, and said goodbye. Jia Xu got on his horse and walked towards the camp. Xun You got into the car, but he didn't give the order to set off. Zhang Liao turned over and got on his horse, holding a spear in one hand and a reins in the other, looking at Jia Xu in the distance, without saying a word.

Jia Xu walked halfway, grabbed the reins, turned around, and raised his hand to Xun You.

Xun You was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and waved goodbye to Jia Xu.

"Let's go, go back to Chang'an."

"Whoa." Xun You let out a long sigh and patted Che Shi. The coachman shook the reins, drove the carriage slowly, turned a corner, and went onto the official road to the west. Zhang Liao and the others also turned their horses' heads one after another to escort Xun You away.

Jia Xu exhaled softly, pulled the collar soaked with sweat, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the camp.
