An hour later, Liu Cun, who had changed into a civil official uniform, sat in Huang Wan's study with his tiger generals Tai Shici and Fu Min, listening to Huang Wan's analysis and prediction of the current situation.

Huang Wan's political vision is very keen, with an outstanding view of the overall situation, but he is relatively unfamiliar with the military, he reported the fierce battle situation in Jizhou and the potential crisis in Qingzhou, focusing on the deep worries in his heart:

"After repeated deliberations, and urgently recruited the county guards to come to inquire, and finally confirmed the report of the Yellow Turban premeditated riot sent by Zijian in the middle of the month, now it seems that the traitor Zhang Ju is likely not fighting alone, otherwise it is difficult to explain why the remnants of the Yellow Turbans hidden in various parts of the Central Plains, especially in the border area of Qingyan, secretly planned a riot in this sensitive period, and then formed a trend of echoing between the north and the south? Further inference, the Jinan Kingdom, Anle County, Beihai Kingdom, and Qi County, where the Thorn History Mansion is located, are in the middle of the attack of nearly 300,000 thieves in the north and south, and they are in danger! ”

Liu Cun nodded silently and waited patiently for Huang Wan's next words. Tai Shi Ci and Fu Min stared at the map of Qingzhou hanging in front of them, silently digesting Huang Wan's words.

Huang Wan put down the delicate Langya celadon teacup, raised his hand to draw a circle on the map: "Here is already an undercurrent, full of dangers, famous lords, nobles and gentry are still singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming of death, half a month, Jinan, Le'an and even Qi County under the nose of the official, all kinds of cults and obscenities have revived, demons and monsters are popular, grand sacrifices and cult gatherings have come and gone, the official firmly believes that there must be a large number of Yellow Turban remnants and Zhang Ju traitors sent by the fine works mixed in, if they are not suppressed immediately, with thunderous means to remove the hidden dangers, severely punish many witches and goddesses who confuse the public, and my Qingzhou will fall into a catastrophe! ”

Liu Cun sighed: "Xia Guan remembers that during Cao Mengde's tenure as the prime minister of Jinan, he used his extraordinary courage and heroic spirit to eradicate all cults and obscene shrines under his rule, and suppressed a large number of arrogant, arrogant, and lawless nobles, so that Jinan had a new atmosphere and order, but it is a pity that the saint and the ministers of the court and the central government listened to and believed partially, and severely criticized Cao Mengde, who was worried about the country and the people, regardless of his reputation. In the end, I could only sigh gloomily and hang up the crown! ”

"My lord, it is very easy for Xia Guan to lead three thousand iron cavalry to launch a thunderous suppression, and within three days, he will be able to eliminate the treacherous demons of the three counties, but in this way, how can those powerful and suspicious famous lords and nobles and nobles rest? How can adults keep their reputation? Every step of the way, you and I are extremely difficult! ”

Huang Wan was stunned for a long time, and finally his eyes slowly closed, and his face was full of pain.

After a moment of silence, Liu Cun said again: "Seeing that the crisis is coming, the lower officials are also anxious!" Adults know, Jinan is famous for smelting, the annual production of steel, accounting for more than three percent of the total amount of our Han Dynasty, countless advanced agricultural tools, imperial court custom weapons, waterwheel spinning machines and even small clothing needles, are from the city of Jinan, Dongpingling and Zibo area, countless skilled craftsmen and even merchants from various states gathered here, supporting most of the taxes of Qingzhou, once there is turmoil, the consequences are serious, the impact is far-reaching, it is really immeasurable! ”

Huang Wan slowly tasted the meaning of Liu Cun's words, and his spirit was lifted.

Liu Cun no longer beat around the bush: "The lower officials think that they can first dispatch 5,000 well-trained officers and soldiers of Qi County to quickly march into Dongpingling and Licheng, and decisively implement a curfew on the grounds that the traitor Zhang Ju 100,000 thieves are pressing step by step, and even launch martial law throughout the territory. ”

At the same time, Xia Guan led his soldiers to the north of Le'an Zhizhi Linji, leaving a thousand men and horses to garrison, and the rest of the men and horses turned westward, entered the north of Jinan, and drove directly to Gaotang, an important town on the south bank of the Yellow River (the Yellow River was diverted to flow through the north of Gaotang during the Han Dynasty), and quickly built a camp, preemptively controlled the two major ferries that were far away from the north bank of the plain county, and sent scouts and cavalry to reconnoiter in all directions every day, while closely monitoring the battle situation in Jizhou, the southern counties formed a deterrent trend, and once necessary, they could go south at any time to help the officers and soldiers of Qi County, so act, Compared with the simple implementation of thunder methods, it is more calm, so as not to be stabbed into the sky by those rich gentry and wealthy relatives of the imperial family. ”

The more Huang Wan thought about it, the more ingenious he felt, and he couldn't help but praise Liu Cun for his steadiness and thoughtfulness.

After the excitement, Huang Wan happily sat down and stared at Liu Cun with blazing eyes: "Zijian, if I urgently recruit 20,000 soldiers and give you full command, can I keep the traitor Zhang Ju's army back to the north of the Yellow River?" ”

Liu Cun was very embarrassed, and he couldn't bear to refuse Huang Wan, so after a little consideration, he explained the plan that had already been formulated and explained: "20,000 soldiers is too few, and it is impossible to hold the long river defense that stretches for 300 miles between Qingdao and Hebei. ”

Huang Wan frowned, thought hard for a long time and nodded slowly: "There is no shortage of manpower, there are still more than 20,000 sets of armor in the Linzi arsenal, and then Beihai Country is ordered to urgently transport 20,000 armor to make it up, but the grain and grass are unsustainable!" ”

Liu Cunjin said: "My lord, how can there be eggs under the nest? The truth of both losses and losses should be known by the royal family and nobles and local tycoons, and the adults may be able to solve it if they convene them to discuss, but it really doesn't work, even if it is a temporary loan, it is a big deal to write an IOU in the name of the Assassin's Mansion, and then slowly find a way to return it after getting through the difficulties. ”

Huang Wan was stunned: "What if I don't get on yet?" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's not yet, as long as the accounts are there, there will always be a day when it will be paid."

Speaking of this, Liu Cun smiled embarrassedly: "Xiaguan estimates that the adult will be promoted at the end of the year at the latest, let the next Lord Assassin come back to pay it back, when it comes to heaven, the adults are all in order to protect Qingzhou and save millions of people. ”

Huang Wan immediately grabbed Liu Cun's handle: "This is what you said!" ”

Liu Cun was stunned: "What's wrong?" If someone really complains, my lord can say that it is my Liu Cun's idea, the lower officials are thick-skinned, and they are not afraid of being scolded by people, anyway, a set of economic strategies implemented by Chengyang has long made many royal relatives and Qingzhou wealthy families hate it to the bone, but the people like it! In a word, Xia Guan is not afraid of itching if there are more lice. ”

Huang Wan laughed, laughing so much that tears were about to come out, and then he covered his painful stomach and told Liu Cun: "Zijian, Zijian, you are too real, you really live up to the benevolent name praised by Shilin!" Do you know who the next Qingzhou Thorn will be? If nothing else, a month later, Brother Yu will be transferred back to the court to take charge of the Shaofu (one of the Nine Qings, in charge of the income of Shanhai Ze and the royal workshop), and the successor recommended by Brother Yu will be you Liu Cun Liu Zijian, haha! ”

Liu Cun was struck by lightning, his heart shrank violently, and his whole body stiffened, like petrification.

Tai Shici and Fu Min were pleasantly surprised, if they hadn't taken care of their identity, they would have jumped up and cheered.

"This ...... How is this possible? Xiaguan ...... The lower official is not yet thirty! ”

Liu Cunzhen was stunned, although the position of the assassin was a huge ** that he thought about day and night, but the sudden arrival made him panic and unbelievable.

Huang Wan laughed again: "What's impossible? Zijian, do you think that a mere history of thorns is stronger than Taishou, who sits on one side and leads more than ten counties? Although the history of the assassin shoulders the mission of the saint and supervises the place for the Son of Heaven, outsiders seem to have a high reputation and profound qualifications, and the person who is responsible for the history of the assassin is usually from the famous people of the imperial dynasty, but this seemingly glamorous history of the assassin of a state was only a poor official with a rank of 600 stones before, and now although his status has improved, he still can't interfere in local government affairs! Besides, as a party with a rank of 2,000 stones, you are too guarded, and taking over the Qingzhou Thorn History is just a flat tone, why are you making such a fuss? ”

"The lower officials are shallow in virtue and lack of qualifications, so they are embarrassed to take on a big responsibility!" Liu Cun still couldn't believe the sudden big opportunity.

Huang Wan immediately sank his face: "Looking at the world of the Han Dynasty, who dares to say that Liu Zijian, who is diligent in royal affairs, brave and loyal, painstaking, and is shallow in virtue?" Who dares to say that he is comparable to Liu Zijian, who values love and righteousness and is famous all over the world? Just look at the political achievements, who in the world is not impressed? ”

"In the three years since you Liu Zijian served as the Taishou of Chengyang, which year was not the first loyal minister in the world to pay full taxes to the Holy Lord and the imperial court? What's even more touching is that the counties under your rule have never stopped contributing to the saints and the imperial court's annual tribute and special tribute, even if the imperial court has imposed huge levies again and again, you have silently endured all your strength, and you have made the officials of the world embarrassed! ”

"Do you know what the Holy Lords and the important ministers of the court say about you? Langya Liu Zijian is really a genius in the world and a capable minister in governing the world! ”

Liu Cun was embarrassed to be praised, but when he saw Tai Shici and Fu Min beside him, he had no choice but to stare at the two tiger generals who were short-circuited by joy, turned to Huang Wan and asked gratefully: "My lord, if Xia Guan really wants to leave Chengyang County, I don't know who will take over?" ”

Huang Wan still doesn't know Liu Cun's thoughts: "Don't worry, I will never let your years of hard work go to waste, before Zheng Shi and Bing Shi and others talked to me about this issue in private, everyone knows that you are not a thing in the pool, and you will have to leave Chengyang sooner or later, so you are very concerned about the successor candidates, and they tend to select talents from your command, but the opinions are still inconsistent, some people recommend Zhao Rong, the Dongguan County Commander with outstanding political achievements and deep experience, some people appreciate the talented and famous Langya Ling Liu Ye, and there are people who recommend your confidant and staff, Sun Pei, the county prince, In short, the candidates are among these people, but your and my opinions may be more important to the Holy Lord and the ministers of the DPRK. ”

Seeing Liu Cun's face full of gains and losses, Huang Wan explained kindly: "Zijian doesn't need to worry, since you led your troops to quell the 80,000 Yellow Turban thieves in the north of Xuzhou and the west of Langya, the saint and the important ministers of the court have realized the pivotal position of Chengyang County between the two prefectures of Qingxu, and they have also seen the people's aspirations of Chengyang County, even if someone covets the prosperity and wealth of Chengyang, they dare not risk the danger of angering the saint to reach out easily, at least I, Huang Wan, will not agree, let alone sit back and watch anyone destroy the hard-won good situation of Chengyang County." ”

Liu Cun was very grateful, stood up and gave a deep salute to the respectable Huang Wan: "My lord, as the saying goes, great kindness is not grateful!" Liu Cun can only repay the kindness of the adults by fighting to the death and refusing to raise 100,000 rebels to the north of the Yellow River! ”

Huang Wan slowly held Liu Cun's hands, staring at Liu Cun's eyes full of emotion: "Zijian, although there is a slight difference in the status of you and me in the officialdom, but in private you and I are already close friends who have intersected with each other, the foolish brother has a sentence that has been buried in his heart, I wanted to wait for the imperial decree to be issued, and then ask Zijian when he left, since there is such an opportunity today, the foolish brother took the liberty of saying: Today, my Han has accumulated a lot of difficulties, and the country has been crumbling for four hundred years. I can't get back to my strong man! If he soars into the sky one day, can he always worship my Han Son of Heaven? Continuing the 400-year-old bloodline of my Han dynasty? ”

Liu Cun's heart suddenly became huge, his eyes instantly flushed, and he replied to Huang Wan word by word: "My lord, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, Liu Cun will definitely do his best to maintain the imperial unity, eradicate the rebellion, and revitalize the dynasty. ”
