When Cai Yong heard this, he said to Mrs. Zhang: "You, your grandson-in-law, are okay with the war, your poetry is acceptable, and the most valuable thing is this modesty, which is very fond of the old decay." ”

Zhang Taigong smiled modestly: "This is still thanks to Cai Ping's teaching. ”

The two old men were not ashamed to raise a few words to each other, and after that, Cai Yong said with a straight face: "To govern Lujiang, after all, it is still necessary for the people of Lujiang to come by themselves." Zhong Kang, I heard that last year you expanded the scale of the county school in Shu County, and also recruited a few local scholars as county officials, according to the old age, it is better to use the county school of middle age and character as the county Cao Xiaoguan, and put the recruited local scholars outside the county to fill the vacancy of the county magistrate, what do you think? ”

Arresting so many powerful and powerful officials at once will definitely make many people unhappy. On Haoqiang's side, Xu Chu can't manage it, and he doesn't want to take care of it, if these people are not attached to him, they will be a big scourge in the county, and many of the officials are scholars from the county and the state, so they can't be appeased. Cai Yong's suggestion can just make up for the turbulent public opinion, and the words of 'Shu people governing Shu' are also very popular.

......

......

In addition to himself, the people who benefited the most from this big fight.

'Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat', the people benefit, which is equivalent to the benefit of their own parents, this simple truth, Xu Chu still understands.

In addition to Xun Yu and Xin Bi, Fan A's convoy was also walking in the counties. Fan Aji, a famous doctor, stayed for three to five days in each county, administering acupuncture and medicine to the people of Qianshou in the township, and the people received favors at the same time, of course, they would be grateful to the county government. The name of a Zhaowu Marquis Jiacheng, a hundred stone doctor Cao Peng, spent such a small price in exchange for countless people's hearts, as long as Xu Chu is not stupid, he also knows that he should continue to do it.

By the end of September, when the autumn harvest was almost at its end, Xinbi sent a message back, saying that he was already on his way back to Shu County. Only Xun Yu's side began to come with bad news.

The Dabie Mountain bandits, who were instigated by Zhou Xin and defeated by Le Jin and Li Quan, were ready to move.

This battle, Xun Yu had already mentioned it before leaving Shu County, Xu Chu had already been mentally prepared for this, the headache of the group of thieves is not actually their combat effectiveness, but their ability to resurrect from the ashes, and rely on the treacherous mountains and rivers, which is difficult to get rid of.

Not to mention how Xun Yu dealt with the group of thieves, Danyang and Jiujiang counties, Zhou Xin and Chen Wen heard the movements of Lujiang County in the past month, and they were all uncomfortable.

Danyang County, the county governs Wanling, and is too guarded in the house.

Zhou Xin sat on the main seat, frowning and looking at the information coming from the direction of the Lujiang River.

"Xu Zhongkang Piyang Zhai Xinbi and Yingyin Xunyu are the governors of the north and south, and the officials are governed; He also used the famous doctor Hua Yuanhua's disciple as the doctor Cao Peng, and the county saved the doctor and accepted the hearts of the people. With such a trick, it is not difficult to see that he wants to stabilize the rear after the autumn harvest, and then plot against other counties. ”

There are many county officials sitting in the hall, and the head of the head is the young Zhu Huan and Zhu Xiumu, who have a relationship with Xu Chu. Opposite Zhu Huan, it was the late Lujiang Gong Cao Zhang Yun.

Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang, and the four surnames of Wu Jun, although they have not really risen at this time, they are still a force that cannot be ignored in Yangzhou. Therefore, Zhou Xin reused Zhu Huan and Zhang Yun, in addition, there is another person named Wei Ze on Zhang Yun's side, from the Huiji Wei family, and is also a son of the Yangzhou clan, his brother Wei Teng, is now Huiji County Gongcao.

It is not difficult to see from Zhou Xin's employment that his political and military lines are still limited to Yangzhou, and he uses the method of winning over the scholars in Benzhou and supplementing them with strong troops to realize his political ambitions.

But his ambition to dominate Yangzhou has become more and more slim because of Xu Chu's appearance.

Facing a powerful neighbor who won Dong and returned victorious, Zhou Xin felt deep pressure, so during the period when Xu Chu was courting Dong, he continued to train elite soldiers, prepare grain and grass, and used his younger brother Zhou Qiao to serve as Cao Peng, a soldier of Wu County, and secretly recruited heroes in Wu County.

It's a pity that no matter what he does, he can't compare it with the great achievement of asking Dong. No wonder others, he also received the fraudulent letter of the three princes, Yuan Shao raised his arms and shouted, he was also invited, he didn't want to leave the county, who is to blame?

"After all, Xu Hou is an outsider, and he can't compare to the prestige of the Ming Mansion in Yangzhou." Zhu Huan said suddenly, "And Xu Hou is now making a big move in Lujiang, arresting the lawless heroes and officials in the county, and the government and the opposition are shaken, and this is an extremely unstable time." Ming Mansion, if you want to have a long time with Xu Hou, this is the best time. ”

Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, Zhu Huan's implication was that if he waited for Xu Chu to ease up, then his chances of winning would not be much, so he immediately nodded heavily, "Qing Yan is very good." ”

Zhang Yundao: "Hugh Mu's words, although they are realistic, but how to use the means? If you use swords and soldiers, I am afraid that it will damage the prestige of the Ming Mansion. ”

Zhu Huan sneered in his heart, when did it be, Liu Dai over there killed the Taishou Qiaomao of Gudong County a few months ago, and now he has not seen any damage to his reputation, but because of this, he has taken in the counties of Yanzhou, and the military appearance has been greatly boosted, as if he can be called a strong man in the world.

He retorted: "After Xu Hou returned to the county, I heard that he immediately reduced the number of soldiers and reduced the burden on the county government, which is a long-term strategy in the long run, but from a close distance, his strength has also decreased. What doubts does the Ming Mansion still have? ”

Under Zhou Xin, Zhu Huan's status is extremely special, not only because of his background and ability, but also because he has nearly a thousand righteous servants recruited from Wu County.

Zhou Xin is not a useless person, in addition to his status in Shilin, his own ability is also outstanding, the three Zhou brothers, he, Zhou Ang, Zhou Qiao, only he is a county guard, can be called a prince.

Zhou Xin said decisively: "According to Hugh Mu's words, strike first!" ”

......

......

There is no impermeable wall in the world, Zhou Xin rectified the military horses here, the boats moved, and Xu Chu soon learned the news.

The first to report the matter to Xu Chu was the chief bookkeeper Xie Zhen.

This is the benefit of Xie Zhen's birth and the four surnames, most of Zhou Xin's subordinates are children of big clans, and it is inevitable that there will be people who have eyebrows with other families, Xie Zhen received the news from Cao Peng, a soldier in Danyang County, for the first time.

After Xu Chu found out, he summoned everyone to discuss the matter.

Xu Chu knew very well that Zhou Xin was a county magistrate with a strong personality and a very talented person, and he also knew that Zhu Huan of Wu County had become a general of the Jiangdong Sun clan in history. He attaches great importance to the changes that occur in Danyang.

can be so good that he can't die, but this bone eye Gan Ning is helping Xun Yu in the south of the county. Yangzhou is not compared to the Central Plains, full of lakes and seas and rivers, once the battle, the water must be to see the true chapter, without the history of the famous Gan Xingba to sit on the ferry, Xu Chu can not help but be a little worried.

Because of the said: "The bandits in the south of the county are ready to move, the war will inevitably last for a long time, in order to avoid the trouble of robbers, this battle will be fought, if Xun Wen is there, there is no need to worry too much." I intend to let Captain Le go to the south of the county to replace Captain Gan, what do you think? ”

Guo Jia had just recovered from his illness, and his body was still weak, but because of the importance of this time, Xu Chu specially ordered someone to drive Guo Jia over.

Guo Jia got up and said: "It's not beautiful to change generals in battle...... Lord, don't forget that Li Wenda and Chen Boxu are Jiangxia athletes, and they can also share their worries for the lord. ”

The scale of this meeting was very large, almost all the civil and military officers were present, Li Tong and Chen Gong were relatively backward, but they also heard what Guo Jia said, so they attended the worship in the hall and said loudly: "The last general is willing to share the worries of the prince and the marquis!" ”
