Chapter 66: Portrait of Ma Chao
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!"
Xun Zhen was sweating profusely, wearing armor, with a "sword" hanging on her waist, and when she entered the hall with a helmet in her hand, she saw Liu Tong, and threw the big helmet to Dong Lei behind her, wiping her messy beard, and shouted happily.
Seeing that he had no official manners, Liu Tong signaled to him, glancing at Yan Rou on the main seat, Xun Zhen immediately realized that Liu Tong was just sitting below, and there was a majestic general on the top who was looking at him, and after showing a slight surprise on his face, he stood solemnly, but he didn't know what to call this official, looked at Liu Tong, and asked with his eyes.
"General Xun, this is my third uncle, General Mengzhou, General Zhenjun, and Duting Hou Yan Rou!" Liu Tong deliberately ridiculed Xun Zhen and deliberately accentuated his "general" title.
"Xia Guan Lishi County ordered Xun Zhen Xun Zigan to see the general!" Xun Zhen was called a general by Liu Tong, and he didn't understand Liu Tong's meaning, so he still claimed to be a county order, and he also performed a salute.
Although he didn't know Xun Zhen, after Liu Tong's previous introduction and what he had seen and heard in the city just now, Yan Rou admired Xun Zhen very much, greeted him with a smile, grabbed Xun Zhen's hand and said: "Brother Zi is talented, he is not afraid of danger, and he has a good plan, and my brother admires it." Since he is already the acting Taishou of Xihe County, why call himself a county order. ”
When Xun Zhen heard this, she was happy in her heart, this Liu Tong was young, and he appointed himself as the acting Taishou, and he didn't want to count, and he was in a hurry to obey the power at that time, so it was just that, now Yan Rou opened his mouth, it seems that the word "agent" can be removed! Thinking about how many years I have been a small official, I finally became a county magistrate, or I was assigned to a remote and poor place, and I was tossed by Xu Yu for a long time, and I was depressed, and now I can finally show my ambitions.
"General, the two counties of Xihe and Pingyang were plagued by the Huns, please send troops to rectify the order and appease the people."
Yan Rou helped Xun Zhen sit down and said, "Don't worry, brother Zi, I have sent General Xiahoulan to the south, and I have received a report just now that General Sun Guan has sent troops from Shangdang." Lord Xun only needs to restore the West River steadily. ”
"Lord Xun, how do you know that the Huns rebelled? Prepare for it beforehand! Liu Tong was very curious about how quickly Hu Chuquan marched into the army, how could Xun Zhen take defensive measures in advance.
"Master Hou, I used the interrogation method you handed over, and Xu You and Xu Zhen thought that everyone else had confessed except for himself, and in order to save his life and for the sake of his family, they all confessed. Among them, it was explained that Hu Chuquan may have raised troops in the near future. ”
"Xu Younai is a rebel party?" Liu Tong was surprised. Although I was a little skeptical before, I still didn't believe that Xu Yu Taishou did a good job and would conspire with the Huns to rebel?
"That's not it, Xu Yu analyzed it from the recent large purchase of ordnance by the Huns, and from the words of the Hun envoys."
"This Xu Yu is indeed very wise!" Yan Rou praised, too, what he didn't find out as a general of Mengzhou was discovered by Xu You from some clues.
Liu Tong also nodded in agreement, of course Liu Tong knew Xu Youzhizhi, but he felt sorry for his character and emotional intelligence. If he changes his past mistakes and makes good achievements in Xihe, with Liu Kuan's temperament, it is also possible to transfer him to Beijing for important positions. Now it seems that he can only hehe, Liu Tong thought to himself, I hope that Xu You will go to Sanhan, either he will harm Liu Bei, or he will harm the natives of Sanhan, and it will not be in vain for his smart mind to make contributions to Huaxia.
"Brother Zi's handling of the Five Elements True Ancestral Hall is very good, and it is really hateful that Xu Yu has ruined the reputation of the prime minister and several real people." On the way to the mansion, Liu Tong asked some information about the local officials, and Yan Rou also listened to it, and was indeed very satisfied with Xun Zhen.
"The general praised it falsely, and what the lower official thought was to do more things that were beneficial to the people, and not to do things that the people opposed."
"Serve the people." Liu Tong said with a smile, thinking that although this Xun Zhen spoke in fragments, he didn't have any big words, which was really very.
"Serve the people, serve the people? Hou Ye's words are incisive! Xun Zhen's eyes lit up, and she looked for Liu Tong's sentence.
Xun Zhen noticed at this time that the red carp and Luo Tie were standing outside the door with Liu Si and other guards, their expressions were serious, very strange, they were sitting with Liu Tong in the mansion before, especially the woman in red, like Liu Tong's closest person, how did she set up a guard this time?
What makes me strange is that it is not because Yan Rou is here, if Yan Rou is present, others can't come in, why can this green and graceful woman be next to Liu Tong?
Xun Zhen saw that the woman beside Liu Tong was bored, and suddenly remembered, and said: "General, Hou Ye, look at it, the lower official was abrupt for a while, it was almost noon, everyone must be hungry, and the lower official will arrange it." ”
Xun Zhen got up and said goodbye, Liu Tong nodded, he really felt hungry when he said it, he woke up and set off, and he didn't eat well.
After the meal, Yan Rou went to see Xu You, Yan Rou agreed with Liu Tong's evaluation of Xu You, and recognized his intelligence, if he was sentenced to death, it would be a pity, Liu Kuan's expectations for Liu Bei and his vision for Sanhan, Yan Rou was supportive, so Liu Tong did not suggest that he would send Xu You to Sanhan.
Over the years, he has not sent less people to Liu Bei in Mengzhou, and Yan Rou has used both to suppress and appease over the years, and for some resisting and rebellious tribes, when they were defeated, they all exiled the relevant personnel. When they were choosing between life and death, they were unexpectedly grateful when they heard that they and their families could live, because according to the news, although they left their homeland, as long as they passed, they were nobles, superior to others, and they could not only get land, but also a large number of slaves and property for merit!
After Xiao Yiyi's righteousness, Xu You also happily accepted the judgment that was going to be made to him. Xu You still has ideals in his heart, but the road is bumpy, and he is going farther and farther, and now he has heard that he can not only protect the family, but also go to fight outside the territory, which is really the aftermath of the catastrophe, and it is the willow and bright of life. Xu You bowed down in front of Yan Rou on the spot, and expressed his sincere gratitude and admiration to Liu Kuan.
After listening to Yan Rou's relay, Liu Tong was not surprised, Liu Yu and Liu Kuan were lenient and benevolent, even the hostile forces were all admired. Historically, Liu Yu was in Youzhou, and there were many ethnic minorities in the border area, but after being killed by Gongsun Zhan, many ethnic minorities also sent troops to avenge Liu Yu.
Liu Kuan's benevolence is more reflected in the system, or the legal system. The first is the lenient punishment, and the second is the introduction of a large number of policies to benefit the people. He is also very merciful to his enemies, and is kind to his enemies and their families who have been captured or defeated. With the passage of time, as many real cases reappeared, Liu Kuan's benevolence became widely recognized.
Of course, this recognition is more in the north, and it is said that in Yizhou, especially in Jiangdong, Liu Kuan's reputation is not very good, saying that he violated the legal system of his ancestors, that he coerced the emperor, and that he was dictatorial and belligerent......
"Third uncle, didn't you say that you have pacified the grassland in the past ten years, why did the Huns suddenly rebel?"
"It can't be said that it is peaceful, but it is just that all ethnic groups and tribes have reached an agreement, and some have completely accepted the rule of the imperial court and accepted the national policy of the prime minister, but many tribes only accept the rule of the imperial court on the surface, and they are still ready to move in private. So I'm looking forward to the introduction of the National Law. ”
Taking a sip of tea, Yan Rou continued:
"Not long ago, Hanoi Zhang Sheng made a rebellion, more than 10,000 subordinates, Liukou Kun, Mi, Hedong Weigu, Hongnong Zhang Yan each raised troops in response, Prime Minister Table Ma Teng for the general of the expedition to the south, Biao Han Sui for the general of the expedition to the west, let the two lead the troops from Anxiang to the east to intercept, General Zhang He led the army to conquer, General Sun Guan from the east to attack, the big thief army.
Zhang Sheng, Wei Gu, Zhang Yan and others fled westward, and Ma Teng's son Ma Chao and Han Sui's son-in-law Yan Xing were all brave and fierce generals, leading troops to attack and killing Zhang Sheng, Wei Gu, and Zhang Yan. Ma Chao returned to the army on the occasion of the Huns to plunder, because Ma Chao has always bullied the Huns, after this plunder, caused an uproar, many people are dissatisfied with the forbearance of Hu Chuquan, and they have missed the eloquence of Yu Fuluo's reign. Let Hu Chuquan feel pressured.
Xiongnu Shan Yu Luan Tihu Chuquan was the younger brother of Yu Fu Luo Shan Yu, and after Yu Fu Luo's death, he was passed on. In recent years, Yu Fuluo's son Leopard and Qubei have gradually grown up, Hu Chuquan in order to stabilize Shan Yu's position, coupled with the original unwillingness to submit to the imperial court, just this time Ma Chao's raid ignited the anger of the Huns, so he took the opportunity to rebel. ”
"Oh, I see, this Ma Chao is too reckless, he doesn't divide and disintegrate the ethnic minorities well, but he pushes them to the opposite side!" Liu Tong was a little disappointed in Ma Chao, he used to think that he was handsome and chic, brave and resolute, although he said that he had not seen it, but the title of "Jin Ma Chao" must be somewhat credible, but now he made a portrait of a rude and reckless man in his mind.
