After talking to Xie Zhen, Xu Chu finally knew what Zhang Yun was thinking about there.

Zhang Yun originally wore the same pants as Zhou Xin, which means that once there is a disturbance on Xu Chu's side, Zhou Xin's side can get the news quickly.

The county Gongcao is in charge, the power and responsibility are already heavy, and Zhang Yun is an old official recruited by Lu Kang when he was there, I am afraid that the county government will not dare to hide anything from him.

Rao is like this, this nail is still difficult to pull, and the difficulty is that Xu Chu can't take the position of Gong Cao lightly.

Things are always time-sensitive, and the same is true of the current county office. In the past, when he was in Yingchuan, Xu Chu attached great importance to the Cao under the county government, because most of the power in the county was in the hands of Cao Peng and Shi. But now it is different, and the status between the 'warlords' and the 'gate lords' will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The warlords are Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Tao Qian, and Xu Chu, including those who are weaker, such as the giant Zang Ba of Taishan County, the Haoqiang Yan Baihu of Wu County, and so on. Needless to say, the gate valve is Yingchuan Xun, Chen, Zhong, etc., Wu Jun Gu, Lu, Zhou, Zhang, etc.

Heroes in troubled times come out of all directions, and those who have guns are the king of grass. This sentence is not nonsense, but a wise saying.

Dong Zhuo abolished the Son of Heaven, the court and the people gradually lost their hearts, and the collapse of etiquette and music was not far away. The local princes who have soldiers and horses will no longer be frightened and captured because of a piece of paper, and even use their own soldiers and horses to blackmail the authorities.

On the occasion of the rupture of mountains and rivers, Xu Chu, who was about to be 'unworthy of his name', took the position of county gong Cao, and completely forced the Zhang family of Wu County to his opposite. The officials who were dismissed by the chief officials will have their reputation damaged, their status will become lower, and their reputation will deteriorate, and Zhang Yunding will hate Xu Chu because of this.

The gains outweigh the losses. But if he didn't do anything at all, it would be too stupid to let Zhou Xin put his eyeliner in his backyard.

Zhang Yun and these scholars can wait for Dong to return and slowly clean up, and Zhou Xin is a strong enemy that must be faced at the moment.

Xu Chu went to the lobby of the mansion and told Zhang Yun and Xie Zhen about the situation, and Xu Shu suggested: "There is no major problem in political affairs, but military affairs must be kept strictly secret." The lord can transfer the part of the people he does not trust to the ministry that has nothing to do with the military affairs, and let those who are used by the lord participate in the matter of storing grain and transferring people's husbands. ”

Guo Jia and Xi Zhong seconded the proposal, and they both said: "For today's plan, this is the best policy." ”

Xu Chu nodded and said, "This method can be used." Zhou Yi and Xin Bi led the soldiers Cao and Wei Cao, and how about sending the original soldiers Cao and Wei Cao Peng to the county? ”

Transferring from the county government department to the county commander, chief, or county lieutenant or cheng is a very acceptable thing for the county government officials. Moreover, in doing so, the traces of deliberately separating the military and the government will not be too obvious.

After the matter was decided, Xu Chu asked again if there was anything discussed about Zhou Xin, Xi Zhong, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu.

Xi Zhong said: "Zhou Danyang wants to plot against us, there are many ways. However, the most convenient way to do this is to instigate thieves in the county to revolt, and he can take advantage of the fire to rob and damage the prestige of the lord. ”

This is similar to what Xu Chu guessed before, but seeing Xi Zhong unfolding the map of Lujiang County, he pointed to the east of Shu County and said: "From Danyang County to this county, the most suitable landing site is in the area of Chungu County and Xiang'an County. ”

Chungu County is the county in Danyang County, and Xiang'an County is in Lujiang County.

"Chungu County has always been known for its high grain production and is a granary in Danyang County. Zhou Taiming (Zhou Xinzi Taiming) If he wants to intimidate us with troops, he will gather troops in Chungu County. ”

Xu Shu walked over, pulled out his sword, pointed to the open place in the western part of Lujiang County, and said: "In the western part of this county, the land is wide and the county is scarce, and there are many thieves gathering here among the poor mountains and bad waters. If Zhou Xin wants to instigate a thief rebellion, he will definitely send someone to contact the giant thieves here. Lord, the county commanders and chiefs of Qi County, Longshu, Juchao, Anhui County and other places, we still don't know if they have a military strategy, so we must inform them as soon as possible to prevent accidents. ”

Guo Jia also came over, "Especially Juchao County, it is the last barrier in the southwest of the county, if the thieves can't be pacified quickly, the people in the county will be in chaos, which will affect the lord's plan." In Jia's opinion, when the tiger will go to the nest, the nest is not chaotic, and the thieves are happy no matter how happy they are, it is only a disease of moss. ”

Xu Chu said: "How about Le Wenqian and Li Xiaocheng? ”

The three of them all nodded and said, "Le Jun and Li Jun are brave and strategic, and they are the best choice." ”

Xu Shu continued: "As Zhicai said, Xiang'an County must also have a tiger general to go. Xiang'an is near the water, when it can be Gan Xingba, supplemented by Zhou Yu, stationed near the port. ”

After the three conspirators said, Xu Chu made up his mind, but after staring at the map for a long time, he always felt that there was still something missing.

Guo Jiaguan looked at Xu Chu's expression, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Lord, do your best to ensure the destiny of heaven, with our strength, we can only do this for the time being." Besides, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and if I don't leave some people around just in case, it will not be safe after all. ”

Xu Chu had no choice but to withdraw his gaze from the map, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see what Zhou Xin's final plan was. Immediately asked Xu Shu to take the document in his handwriting, stamped the seal letter and go to the barracks to inform the generals.

In addition to coercing Zhou Xin to make a 'temple calculation', Xu Chu also has one thing that he has to do as soon as possible, that is, to inspect the agriculture of various counties.

If he drags it out again and again, some people will say that he doesn't pay attention to agriculture and the people.

In front of the map in front of him, Xu Chu secretly chose a route, preparing to go to Juchao and Anhui County first, and then turn back to Longshu until Yangquan, and go down the river in Anfeng. In some counties that were not in the planned journey, Xu Chu prepared to go down to the road and let the magistrates of these counties come to see him.

In this way, a lot of time is saved, and the overall trip will be less than half a month.

There are some people that Xu Chu must bring on this trip, a total of four: Xinbi, Zhaozhao, Shi Lu, and He Zhen. These four are all Xu Chu is ready to introduce into his own political group, and they are all new to the office, in order to show his affection, in order to facilitate the recruitment on the way, Xu Chu must seize the opportunity to get close.

Zhou Yi is too big, people are very assertive, even if Xu Chu wants to use means to win over, it depends on whether the timing is right or not, and whether he will get the opposite effect.

——When I returned to the county government that night, my wife Zhang Ying suddenly came over with some things.

Xu Chu said curiously: "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Ying said: "My husband is busy with business, don't you feel a little neglectful of those close to you?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Chu sighed, and his face was narrow.

Zhang Ying said angrily: "I'm talking about Xijun, Guo Jun and Xu Jun!" They are exhausted for their husbands and often do not sleep well, so they should care more about them. ”

Yes, Zhang Ying's reminder made Xu Chu very embarrassed. Xu Shu is okay, although he is tired, his health has been good. Guo Jia and Xi Zhong's bodies gave Xu Chu a headache. Guo Jia is good at wine, and he is greedy for beauty, and he is loyal to the drama and not for beauty, but he is even more greedy for wine than Guo Jia, and the actor is not rich, he studied hard in order to get ahead, and his body slowly lost money day and night. The two of them had some minor illnesses from time to time, although they both survived without danger, but as a traverser, Xu Chu remembered the 'untimely death' in the history of the two, and his heart was blocked with a big stone.

The things that Zhang Ying brought were some nourishing foods. Xu Chu sighed: "If it weren't for Qingqing's reminder, I would have almost neglected this stubble." Because of this, when he was about to travel the next day, Xu Chu temporarily decided to let Xi Zhong, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu stay in Shu County and told them to rest well.

The long journey was very tiring, so Guo Jia and the other three accepted Xu Chu's good intentions and stayed in Shu County. Xu Chu then took Xin Bi and other four scribes, with Dian Wei and more than 100 tiger guards, and went south to the nest.

Danyang County, the county governs Wanling, and the Taishou Mansion.

In front of Zhou Xin, there was a person standing - Jiang Qin, a heroic man from Shangcai County, Jiujiang County.
