After Guo Jia privately presented the "Constitutional Monarchy" to the emperor, the undercurrent in Wancheng suddenly calmed down, and Taichang Yang Biao, Dahonglu Kong Rong and others suspended their activities calling for the emperor to govern himself under the persuasion of Dasi Nong Xunyu. I don't know if I have another plan, or if I figured out the link here, I want to see if He Xian really has no ambition to change the dynasty and usurp the throne.

The stabilization of Wancheng is more important to He Xian than anything else. He entrusted all political affairs to Guo Jia, Fu Zhu, Lu Su, and Pang Tong. During He Xian's expedition, Guo Jia was always in charge of the government affairs of the Nanyang Army, and Pang Tong gave him a hand. With the annexation of the two states of Qingyan and the expansion of the territory of the Nanyang Army, all kinds of government affairs requests came one after another. Guo Jia has complained more than once about the heavy government affairs, which has seriously affected his private life.

So, on the basis of Pang Tong, He Xian allocated Fu Zhu and Lu Su to Guo Jia's Changshi Mansion. Fu Zhu was previously assisting in handling official affairs under Yuan Shao, and he was familiar with this. After two years of training in Yuzhou, Lu Su's government affairs ability has improved by leaps and bounds. Lusu was originally a potential stock, and it was nested in a small county in Lujiang before, but it was because there was no platform to play. Even if He Xian doesn't hand him over to Cheng Yu for training, Lu Su will be able to show his talent when he goes to Jiangdong. It's just that He Xian let Lu Su and Cheng Yu learn, which stimulated Lu Su's small universe in advance. As for loyalty, Lu Su's family has now moved to Wancheng, and his career is bright, even if he has a good personal education with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, it will not affect his principles of doing things. The distinction between public and private is the moral integrity of all civil and military people in this era! Except, of course, for professional moles.

For He Xian, when there was only one Jingzhou, he could barely cope with Guo Jia in terms of political affairs. Now, He Xian can only "hehe". From this point of view, He Xian's strategy of giving up being emperor from the beginning was correct. Being an emperor is beautiful, but it comes at the cost of freedom. Where is he, a great general, who should be at ease.

"The night of the candles in the cave room, when the gold list is inscribed." There are two great blessings in life, and He Xian has caught up with two recently. was promoted to the rank of general, allowing his martial arts to reach the pinnacle of the Great Han; And marrying Zhen Yu and Xiaoqiao at the same time also made his personal life envious of others. For months, He Xian hid in the General's Mansion and enjoyed his honeymoon time. At the same time, tease your own pair of children and enjoy the rare affection of children.

From the moment He Xian decided to participate in the princes' struggle for hegemony, his life no longer belonged to him alone. Behind him are dozens of close comrades-in-arms who depend on each other for life and death, hundreds of thousands of soldiers who share honor and disgrace, and tens of millions of Han people who are looking forward to his protection. With great power comes great responsibility. Until he defeated all the enemies, He Xian had no reason to stop. Standing still means danger.

Sure enough, the signs of danger soon appeared.

The dispute between the two Yuan in Jizhou changed fundamentally because of Cao Cao's intervention. Cao Cao rode into the Black Mountain alone and persuaded the Black Mountain Thief Commander Zhang Yan. Taking advantage of the confrontation between the combined forces of Yuan Tan and Lü Bu and the combined forces of Yuan Shang and Cao Cao, the Montenegrin army fought out from the flank, and Yuan Tan and Lü Bu were defeated and returned. Yuan Shang took the opportunity to lead his troops north and besiege Jixian. If Yuan Shang defeats Yuan Tan, the turmoil in Ji and Youzhou will end. And after Cao Cao was joined by the Montenegrin army, his momentum was greatly enhanced, and his troops were not under Er Yuan.

"Yuan Shangjiao underestimated the enemy, thinking that Yuan Tan, the enemy of Jizhou's enemy, was actually very wrong. After killing Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang will only be set aside by Cao Cao, and Yuan's original huge foundation may be cheaper than Cao Cao's little black fat man in the end! In the study of the General's Mansion, He Xian shook his head with the battle report of Jizhou.

Guo Jia has become accustomed to He Xian calling Cao Cao a "little black fat man", although Cao Cao is not black or fat, but a little short and stocky.

"Lord, the grain and grass that Yingchuan transported in the past has been donated by Wenhe to the people of Yanzhou. Before the autumn harvest, our army was unable to organize a big battle! "Tactically, the Nanyang Army had to go to Jizhou and drag Yuan Shang to annihilate Yuan Tan. The split Jizhou and Youzhou are in line with the interests of the Nanyang Army. But as the first person in the internal affairs of the Nanyang Army, the issue of grain and grass is also the top priority that Guo Jia has to consider.

"Can you mobilize some grain and grass from Luoyang?" He Xian asked.

Guo Jia shook his head: "The grain and grass that Li Fangzheng has stored have been transported to Chang'an. The northwestern front has shrunk and adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and last year's grain output was very seriously reduced. Xuzhou's grain supported Qingzhou, and Yangzhou was barely self-sufficient because of the existence of the southeast front. And most of the grain from Nanyang County supported Hanzhong. Now the only area with rich grain is in the southern Jingnan region, but the loss of grain from Jingzhou to northern Hebei is not known ......."

Despite the extensive construction of roads in the Jingzhou area, the use of wheelbarrows has also greatly increased the capacity of the Nanyang army. However, it is still an insurmountable thing to transport grain from south to north, across most of the Han Dynasty.

"The fighter plane is fleeting, and it is urgent to send troops to Jizhou!" He Xian's right hand tapped on the table in front of him, and said slowly: "On the issue of grain and grass, the official channels are not good, but what about the private channels?" Xiaoqiang, you go, Zhang Shiping called over! ”

Zhen Yu married to Nanyang, and Zhang Shiping came to the He family as a dowry and became He Xian's general.

The business of Nanyang caravan is now very large, Xiaoqiang's father Wangcai, as the great butler of the He family, has dozens of top caravans of the Han Dynasty under his hands, and the annual capital flow can be worth the financial income of several counties of the Han Dynasty. More importantly, the Nanyang caravan is not all He's, almost all the civil and military generals in the Nanyang army hold a certain stake in the Nanyang caravan. From Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Jingzhou Wushi, down to Sima and Tun Jiang, as long as you want, you can participate in the purchase of shares. The caravan counts its profits every three years and dividends are distributed according to the shares.

However, before the Sino-Mu War, the main business scope of the Nanyang caravan was mostly concentrated in the southern states, and the northern Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou had shrunk sharply since Gongsun Zhan was defeated and retreated to Liaodong. After the Yuan clan took control of the north, they severely cracked down on the flow of Nanyang caravans.

However, the Zhen clan had some friendship with the Southern Xiongnu by virtue of the relationship between the Wuhuan of Chishan and Wuhuan, and the Southern Xiongnu had a good relationship with Yuan Shao in Huchuquan, so the Zhen caravan could still pass unimpeded in the secluded land. Before Zhang Shiping came to Nanyang, he was in charge of Zhen's most important horse trading business, and he had a wide range of connections in the north and was very familiar with people.

The reason why He Xian called Zhang Shiping was that he wanted to rely on Zhang Shiping's civil relations in the north to raise grain and grass for the army!
