Pei Gai couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Jiangdong appointed Tao Kan as the domestic history of Xiapi. He considered that such a capable person, and he was already a famous capable person, it was unlikely that he would be able to control it. Tao Shixing is good at soothing the people, and he really put him in Xiapi, it is estimated that in less than two years, Piguo will not be surnamed Pei - the surname is not Sima, which surname is Sima, and then again. What should I do?

But looking at Bian Yan's expression, it seemed that he was really sincerely congratulating himself on getting a subordinate like Tao Kan, Pei Cai couldn't help but have a fever on his face. What am I wearing here for? It is to calm the troubled times, stabilize the people, and change the dark history, not to claim the king and hegemony yourself. The reason why he didn't stay in Jiangdong to deal with the bureaucracy, and after crossing to the north, he let his ancestors go west and stayed in Xuzhou to farm, but his own concept was more special, so he wanted to roll up his sleeves and work alone to avoid being constrained. Tao Kan can't be a subordinate, then he will be an ally like Zu Ti, rather than let him fight with those thieves and official ruffians in Jiangdong, it is better to pull to the north to fight Hu Lu!

Why did I feel weak and irritable for a while? I'm too selfish, I should fight!

Immediately lifted the bamboo cane and pumped it hard into the palm of his left hand, so as to completely eliminate those thoughts that should not be in his mind.

——————————

A few days later, Yu Yin arrived first, and sure enough, he had the virtue of a son's brother, relying on the fact that he was Sima Rui's brother-in-law, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Pei Cai at all, after all, the other party's family background was too Xuanhe, and it was not comparable to his Jiyang Yu clan - even if he really became a national uncle in the future, it would be impossible for his family background to jump into the top class without the accumulation of three or five generations.

Yu Yin took a large group of family members and guests to the north, even if most of them were left in Linhuai to govern Xuyi, and he came to pay homage to the assassin first, he still brought no less than 100 slaves and subordinates with him. But then the two who came to worship were completely "naked", not only did they have no family members or subordinates, but even the total number of slaves was less than ten, and the two still came in the same car.

One is naturally Tao Kan Tao Shixing, but the other is not Zhou Za Zhou Xuanji - Jiankang's order was sent to Yangxian, Zhou Za resigned, and resolutely refused to obey his orders, so he was forced to change people.

The temporary replacement of Peng Chengguo is a native of Nanchang, Yuzhang County, surnamed Xiong, Yuan, and Xiaowen. The name sticker was handed in, and Pei Cai couldn't help frowning and asked Bian Yan: "Nanchang Xiong's family, what kind of family is it?" "I've never heard of it. Bian Wangzhi shook his head: "Do you have to be a descendant of the Duke of Chu State?" I have never set foot in Jiangzuo, I don't know as much as I know you, and I don't know if you don't know, how can I know? ”

No matter who Xiong Xiaowen is, after all, Tao Shixing came with him, Pei should not help but lower his posture and open the door to greet him. When I saw him, I saw that Tao Kan was not tall, but he looked very strong, although he was over fifty years old, there were no wrinkles on his face, and there were only a few white hairs on his sideburns - it was really a good physique to move bricks, and in the original history, he was able to live until he was seventy-six years old.

Pei should not help but think that if Tao Kan's age could be added to Zu Ti, how good would it be......

As for the Xiong Yuan, about forty years old, born with a white face and a long beard, a clear appearance, and a thin body, which greatly violated his original surname—where is this bear, he is simply an old goat.

Pei Gai and Bian Yan greeted each other warmly, and invited them into the main hall to speak. After a few words of greeting, Tao Kan had a calm old face, although his attitude was quite respectful, his words were quite few - yes, no matter who had just suffered a big defeat and was deprived of military power, he couldn't be happy when he rushed to Jiangbei. Xiong Yuan has a solemn demeanor, his expression is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is not annoying to look at, but he always feels that he should stay away.

So after the greetings, Pei should have nothing to say, so he had to ask them when they planned to go to the office, whether they wanted to rectify in Huaiyin City first, and also understand the situation in the place where they took office. Xiong Yuan arched his hand, and suddenly asked, "I don't know when the envoy will go to Pengcheng with the servants?" ”

Pei Gai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "I live in Huaiyin, why do you want to go to Pengcheng?" ”

Xiong Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he immediately asked: "The king is the lord of Xuzhou, and the Xuzhou governance office is originally in Pengcheng, so he should go with his servants and live in Guangling for a long time?" ”

Pei Gai waved his hand: "I am now moving to Huaiyin." ”

Xiong Yuan's eyebrows raised sharply: "If it is for the sake of soothing the people, then you will be the Son of Heaven, and then you can move to the governance office." However, now the envoy is stranded in Huainan, refusing to go to Xuzhou (Xuzhou and Pengchengguo are governed in the same place, that is, Xuzhou City), so he has no fear of Hulu and has no intention of resuming, only thinking of protecting the Huai River? ”

Pei should look at Xiong Yuan and didn't answer - what do you mean?

I heard Xiong Xiaowen continue: "I heard that the envoy and the ancestor crossed the river to the north, hit the middle stream, and vowed to restore the Central Plains. Now the ancestor is waving his master Yan and Yu, and fighting a hundred battles to the old capital, so that the king can sit in Huaiyin and stop losing some money and food - does the king not have the ambition of the king? The servant came this time, originally to assist the envoy, to seek rebellion and chase evil, and to stabilize the society, if the gentleman really has no such intention, please also recommend the servant to go to the ancestral king! ”

Bian Yan raised his hand: "Xiong Jun ......" wanted to help Pei Gai explain, but Pei Gai waved his hand and stopped him. Pei Cai looked this Xiong Xiaowen up and down, and asked slowly, "I don't know what Xiong Xiang is good at?" Is it possible to ride a bad horse, pull a strong bow, gallop across the field, and destroy the enemy? ”

Xiong Yuan shook his head and replied neatly, "No." ”

Pei Caixin said I knew you couldn't, your body is so weak, I haven't heard of you having any martial arts before, and your tone is very loud, but it's all a lie-"However, Xiong Xiangzhi is recovering, I don't know what I can do?" If I recommend Xiong Xiang to Zujun, how should I speak? ”

Xiong Yuan didn't think about it, so he replied: "Although the servant can't bow a horse, he has also been involved in military affairs, and he can serve as a staff member for the ancestors, soothe the people and the army, boost morale, and dispatch grain and straw ......."

Pei Gai smiled and interrupted him: "If you talk about Rong Shi, I have broken twice as many people as many as in Huaiyin City with more than a thousand newly trained people......" This is a bit weak-hearted, but you must preach it with a shy face, otherwise you won't be able to shake this Xiong Xiaowen - "If you talk about Fumin Anjun, before the locust plague, many counties in Huaibei have no harvest, only I and Bian Shou can deal with the law, so that Huainan will not be harmed; If we talk about dispatching grain and straw, I have provided countless money and grain for my ancestors, and the number of soldiers has reached thousands. I don't know what Xiong Xiang's deeds are, can you advise me? ”

When Xiong Yuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then asked: "I only ask, does the envoy really have the will to recover, or does he just want to manage the industry in Huainan?" ”

Pei Gai stretched out his hand and pointed upward, and said in a loud voice: "The sky is above, the oath of the middle stream, dare to forget it one day!" ”

Xiong Xiaowen stood up and took a deep look at Pei Gai: "If you make Jun say this, out of sincerity, then Xiong is willing to be driven - but Jiangzuo rumors that Jun crossed to the north was just rejected by those in power and reverted to being held hostage by Zujun, so he stopped in Huainan. Again and again extorted the place, for their own industry, but also took Xuzhou's copper casting 'auspicious money', Yun: 'Wang does not allow me, I am in Huaizuo, one day will be rich across the Jiangzuo, that is, Shi Jilun (Shi Chong) is also incomparable and ......'"

Pei Gai rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, where did I say that kind of thing? I heard Bian Yan interject: "To make Juntun grain and money, it is all for guarding Xuzhou and supporting the ancestors, not for their own property." Bian Mou has been around the envoy for a long time, and he can understand his intentions, Xiong Junxiu has to listen to the nonsense of the countryside. ”

Pei Gai waved his hand: "It's not a country dialect, I'm afraid it's the king...... Yu Yuangui admonished me! ”

Since the Beidu, Pei Gai's contact with Jiangdong has not been interrupted, not only will he communicate with Pei's almost once a month, but also with the Wei family, the Liu family, the Du family, and the Langya Wang family who are worthy of compliment, and even several wealthy families in Jiangdong, have also exchanged letters, what major events happened in Jiangnan, how the government and the opposition evaluate themselves, and collected a lot of relevant information. He knew that there were many people who were suspicious of him and jealous of him, but for the ruling Wang clan, since he had roughly settled Wang Dao and paid tribute to Wang Dun many times, there were fewer relatively discordant voices; Only Yu Liang and Diao Xie always spoke ill of themselves in front of Director Wang, and suggested that they should be recalled to Jiankang and be honored as Buddhas.

Whether it is Yu Yuangui or Diao Xuanliang, they will become the ruler of a country in the future, but the current energy is not enough, so they can't convince Director Wang for the time being, plus with Wang Dun to help carry it, even Director Wang is inconvenient to be stubborn. Therefore, it was inconvenient for Pei to directly accuse Langya Wang, so he pointed the finger at Yu Liang.

Anyway, that guy is cold-mouthed, except for Director Wang, there are few people in Jiangdong who really like him.

I heard Xiong Yuan question: "Although Yu Yuangui has been taboo, he is not a villain who speaks of words......

Pei Gai sneered: "Yu Yuangui's ambition, only in Jiangzuo, a grain of grain flows to Jiangbei, which is like stripping his heart. He has no ambition to recover, and he is just a hometown! In fact, his evaluation is not fair to Yu Liang, but the problem is more popular than the dead, even if Yu Liang really has the ambition of Kuang Fu Sheji, how can you compare with Zu Ti? You can't even compare with me, but I've crossed the river!"

"I don't believe that they have never said bad things about Zujun in Jiangzuo?"

Xiong Yuan was still there, but asked: "In that case, why does the envoy refuse to live in Xuzhou, but stop in Huaiyin?" ”

Pei Cai pouted: "I am not only the assassin of Xuzhou, but also the governor of Qingxu, and the people in the department are ......" In fact, even if you add the reclamation soldiers, there are not so many, unless you count all the local armed forces of the four counties that can be temporarily mobilized, it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty thousand, but it seems a little more majestic to say this, if I say that I "have thousands of people", I will feel very unconfident-"I used to appease the people in Guangling, clean up the displaced people, consolidate the city defense, and reclaim the wasteland. Now that the livelihood of the people in the three counties has not been restored, the harvest can only be self-sufficient, the city is ruined, the roads are in disrepair, how to supply the army to station? If I go to Pengcheng, will I have to travel thousands of miles from Guangling to transport grain supplies? I'm afraid that in a Hu Valley, there will be six buckets to consume on the way......"

In fact, Pei Gai is not sincere, there are only four battalions and two thousand people under his command, and Pengcheng County can barely afford to supply, even if he transports grain from Huaiyin, he doesn't need to consume as much as sixty percent. The key is that he was able to cross the river and go north in the name of guarding Huainan, and this led the soldiers to run away to go around, especially to fight the grass valley, if they were really stationed directly in Huaibei, wouldn't Wang Dao be suspicious? Pei Gai doesn't have the strength to confront Jiangdong head-on.

So I have made up a set of reasons to block Xiong Yuan's mouth. Immediately, Pei Gai pretended to be impassioned and said loudly: "If Qing and others can resume production under his rule and use it for the army, I will immediately go north, point to Qingzhou, drink the Yellow River, and not only migrate to Pengcheng?!" ”

Speaking boldly, he glanced at Tao Kan, who had been looking at his nose and nose and heart beside him, and refused to speak: "Does Tao Gong think so?" ”

Tao Kan arched his hand: "Don't dare to call the public." He turned his head to Xiong Yuan and said: "When we go to Xuzhou, we should be ordered by Pei Envoy, and whatever the envoy says, it is what it is, and your subordinates should not talk about your son's wrongs." ”

Pei Caixin said what kind of are you, it's just that you don't want to help, Piri Yangqiu, is this mocking me?!

Xiong Xiaowen looked at Tao Kan, and then at Pei Gai, suddenly raised his head, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha~~ The dignified Tao Shixing, it is so decadent, then there is no need to say much about Jiankang." As he spoke, he bent his knees and sat down again.

Pei Caixin said What do you mean, I've been talking about it for a long time, do you believe me or not? In fact, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I don't even know who you are, there is no need to spit on the stars to defend yourself, just look at your virtue, like a keyboard warrior on the Internet in later generations, your mouth is righteous and awe-inspiring, in fact, I don't have any ability, I look at it and get angry, I can't help but talk a few more words......

I said in my heart, if this surnamed Xiong didn't come with Tao Kan, I don't know what the relationship between the two of them is, so I'll just knock him out - let Jiankang come over with another person!

"Does Xiang Xiong still want me to recommend Qing to Zujun?"

Xiong Yuan shook his head lightly: "The servant will go to Pengcheng first, guard the herdsmen, and observe the true meaning of the king-I hope that the king will not forget what he said today." "I can't just listen to you after all, but also depend on your actual actions.

Pei Cai couldn't help but feel angry, and immediately planned to send off the guests. Bian Yan saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round: "The two of you are far away, you may not be familiar with the affairs of Xuzhou, if you have any doubts, Bian can explain ......"

Pei Gai waved his hand: "Hearing is better than seeing, what's the benefit of talking more?" Obviously stabbed Xiong Yuan-"The two of them are at the office, and they can understand the things under their jurisdiction." But I don't know what I plan to do when I get off the bus? Ask me, if you want to manage the people, what is the first priority? ”

Xiong Yuan replied loudly: "Let the people know the etiquette!" ”

Pei Caixin said that this is the nonsense of a nerd! Ignore him, only focus on Tao Kan. Tao Shixing thought for a moment and replied, "Let the people be ...... in time"8)
