It's just that after passing through two counties, he saw the fierce resistance of the people to the government, Xu Chu's heart gradually sank, and the good mood of just arriving in Lujiang County disappeared completely.

Dahan is really stormy.

The scourge of yellow turbans in various parts of the Central Plains has been difficult to settle for a long time, and large and small strands of yellow turbans have always come to the surface. In Runan County, Yuzhou, there are two Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, Gong Du and Liu Pi, who are still at large. In addition, the attention was cast to Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places, where the Yellow Turban disaster was more serious: in October last year, the Qing and Xu Yellow Turbans revived, and many counties and counties in the two states were confiscated. Tao Qian did a very good job, since taking office, he has enabled Zang Ba, a native of Taishan, and Sun Guan, a native of the same county, to settle the situation in a war. However, most of the yellow turbans were only driven out of Xuzhou, and they are still a big hidden danger in Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other places.

On the other hand, Yangzhou is located in a remote area, and there is no disaster of yellow turban thieves, but because of its remote location, there are many barbarians and Han people living together in the state, and these places where barbarians and Han people live together are also easy to cause riots, resulting in the whole state is always in a relatively tense state of preparation.

In the final analysis, the reason is the decline of the entire Han family, the corruption of the entire officialdom, and the land annexation left over from history.

Xu Chu had no intention of delving into the cause, but what he should know at the moment, he still had to get the right sound from Zhang Yun and Xie Zhen.

For example, Chen Wen, Lu Kang and other Yangzhou officials, as well as those who have greater influence in the counties in the state.

Under the side knocks, he did get a lot of useful information from Zhang Yun and Xie Zhen, and as the information he got became more complicated, Xu Chu's brows became tighter.

That night, he rested in Anfeng, and Xu Chu hurriedly summoned his henchmen to the tent to discuss matters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is much more complicated than we thought before." Xu Chu said worriedly.

When Guo Jia heard this, he said, "My lord, but Zhang and Xie Erjun talked about the personnel in the state? ”

Xu Chu nodded, and shared the key points that Zhang Yun and Xie Zhen talked about with everyone.

I asked the second gentleman why the state government frequently recruited grain and soldiers, and the second gentleman replied: Lu Gong was punctual for Lujiang County, and repeatedly wrote to Uncle Fang, persuading Uncle Chen not to exhaust himself and fish. However, Zhou Taishou monopolized the money and grain, Zhu Beijia, Duwei Zhu Fu, and Da Mo Changhe Qi urged the military food not to stop, Zhou Shu was dying, and Sheng Xiaozhang was too busy to take care of himself, so Uncle Fang had to put the burden on Jiujiang and Lujiang counties. ”

The words of Zhang and Xie Erjun relayed by Xu Chu contain a lot of information, and he himself can't even understand it.

The tent was quiet for a long time, and Xi Zhong patted his head and said: "The affairs of Yangzhou are complicated. ”

How complicated, Xi Zhong went on to explain.

Let's talk about the names of Zhang and Xie first. Fang Bo is another name for the history of the Yangzhou Thorn, that is, Chen Wen, the history of Yangzhou Thorn. Throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms, it is often the first assassin history, and the power is added to the state pastor, such as Tao Qian, who is now the history of Xuzhou Thorn, and later added the title of Xuzhou pastor. Chen Wen is not as good as Tao Qian, he is an authentic scribe, in other words, with Chen Wen's generous personality and not very brilliant ability, he cannot make Yangzhou Qingping, nor can he make Yangzhou scholars all return to their hearts. However, Chen Wen is the governor of a state after all, and he is a major force in Yangzhou.

And then about the others. In the Han Dynasty, the transportation was inconvenient, and the local scholars in any state had a certain degree of xenophobia, and the politics, economy, and public opinion of the prefecture and county were often controlled by the local scholars, and the situation in Yangzhou was even more serious, and even militarily, the local scholars in Yangzhou were not weaker than Chen Wen and other foreign officials.

Zhou Xin, who was the Taishou of Danyang at the time, was a treasurer. 'Zhu Beijia' is Yangzhou Beijia engaged in Zhu Hao, and Du Wei Zhu Fu is the commander of Huiji, who is the younger brother of Zhu Hao. He Qi, the chief of the end of the country, is also a member of the Huiji, but He Qi was born in a poor family, and he relied on the military exploits of the crusade against Shanyue to become the county magistrate of the end of the county.

Chen Wen has no outstanding ability, but he also knows that he is an outsider, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou, he must use Yangzhou scholars as officials, Zhu Hao's father Zhu Jun is a famous general in the late Han Dynasty, and now Luoyang is in the middle of the court, so the first thing after arriving in Yangzhou is to use Zhu Hao to show his attitude to Yangzhou scholars.

Among the Yangzhou scholars, Zhu Hao and Zhu Fu, including Gu Yong of Wujun, who had not been mentioned before, were a group of people who were more friendly and obedient to Chen Wen.

And Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin's opinion of Chen Wen is relatively large.

Xu Chu therefore asked: "Why did Zhou Danyang cut off the money and grain of the state capital?" ”

But Guo Jia replied: "To investigate the root cause, we have to start with Tao Gongzu's appointment as Xuzhou Assassin last year." ”

Xu Chu was even more strange, "Tao Qian served as the assassin of Xuzhou, how could it cause a conflict between Fang Bo and Zhou Danyang!?" ”

Guo Jia also explained: It turned out that when Tao Qian was in danger, he thought that the Yellow Turban in Xuzhou was too powerful, although he had previously crusaded against the rebels of Boyu in Xiliang and Beigong under the account of General Huangfu Song, and it was not a problem to lead troops to fight, but going to the post alone to conquer the Yellow Turban was tantamount to a fool's dream. Therefore, in order to crusade against the Yellow Turban, and in order to control Xuzhou easily after entering Xuzhou, Tao Qian recruited a group of elite soldiers in Danyang to follow him to Xuzhou.

This place in Danyang County, the mountains are steep, the people in the county are bold and brave, the people of Qianshou are good at martial arts, advocating bravery, and it is a well-known place rich in elite soldiers. In the former Han Dynasty, there were famous generals with 5,000 Danyang dead soldiers and 80,000 Hun soldiers to fight fiercely and not fall behind.

Tao Qian took away a group of Danyang soldiers, which was equivalent to cutting a piece of meat on Zhou Xin's body. Zhou Xin naturally disagreed with this matter, but firstly, Tao Qian was famous in Danyang, which was not something he could compare, and secondly, Chen Wen acquiesced in Tao Qian's actions, even if he wanted to find someone to sue, who could he find? This account was then recorded by Zhou Xin on the head of Chen Wen, the assassin who acquiesced to Tao Qian.

This is why Zhou Xin not only did not pay money and grain to the state government according to the rules, but often cut off the money and grain channel that the state government transported to Huiji. And in order to consolidate his power, Zhou Xin is also raising soldiers, and the crowd is not under 5,000, just because he wants to raise these soldiers, Zhou Xin will not send money and food to Chen Wen.

Zhou Xin made a hindrance from it, and Zhu Fu and He Qi, who were responsible for pacifying and guarding against Shanyue barbarians in Huiji, did not agree. They would not sprinkle their anger on Zhou Xin, who was also from the state, but smashed the black pot on Chen Wen's head. If the state government doesn't give it, how can we protect the people of the state and county from the nuisance of the chaotic army?

After listening to the division between Xi Zhong and Guo Jia, Xu Chu couldn't help but laugh in his heart: Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, is the governor of a state, but he doesn't want to be like a new daughter-in-law, and he is angry everywhere and dare not be angry.

Xu Chu's desertion, Xu Shu added: "Originally, Wu Jun was too close to Sheng Xian and Fang Bo Chen Gong, and he could be a strong aid to Chen Gong, but unfortunately Sheng Xiaozhang was from the Huiji Han clan, and he couldn't raise his head in front of the Wu County family and the Huiji family. Sheng Taishou was too busy to take care of himself, Chen Gong was even more isolated, and it was still unknown who had the final say in Yangzhou. ”

Xu Chu couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that not only was he a martial artist, but also a scholar in the world's Taishou and Thorn History, who were famous but were not treated by the local scholars. Chen Wen and Sheng Xian are two of them, and they don't intend to say a truth: the troubled times are coming, and those who want to achieve great things must have a reputation, and there must be no shortage of good generals.

Chen Wen didn't know about military affairs, and he didn't know or like power and strategy, so the state sergeant belittled him for high-ranking officials, so he had all kinds of suspicions, and because Chen Wen couldn't handle them well, the suspicions deepened day by day, and the contempt increased day by day, and finally it became a bad circle.

Xu Chu had served as the Taishou of Yingchuan and had dealt with the scholars of Yingchuan, so he could understand Chen Wen's difficulties. Understanding is understanding, but Chen Wenshu sent officials to Lujiang County to recruit troops and levy grain, and as the Taishou of Lujiang, he must oppose it.
