Yingchuan County is the area of Xudu in the Three Kingdoms Period, here is another large county in the Central Plains with the same name as Liang County, where the population is large, the vast plains are endless, and the land is fertile, the irrigation is convenient, it is an important grain producing county in the Central Plains.

In addition, it was less affected by banditry, and it did not become a battlefield, and the social productive forces were fortunately preserved, making the economy here very prosperous.

This is also an important reason why Zhang Xuan insisted on occupying Yingchuan County, with Yingchuan County, the army stationed in the Central Plains no longer had to transfer grain from the north.

Zhang Xuan's stationed official office is the Yingchuan County Ya, Yingchuan County Taishou is called Yu Wengu, about forty years old, thin appearance, very shrewd and capable, he was born in Yingchuan Wang, is the former Taishi Ling Yu Qian's brother, the emperor opened the imperial examination for 20 years, has been an official in Yingchuan for more than ten years, from the county order has been too shou, when Yingchuan Taishou has been at least five years, in Yingchuan County has a deep connection.

Although Wang Shichong's army did not occupy Yingchuan County, politically, Yu Wengu was loyal to Emperor Tai of Luoyang, and was named the Duke of Wuyang County by Emperor Tai.

In fact, not only Yingchuan County, but also Xiangguo County, Shuyang County, Nanyang County, Runan County, Xiyang County, etc., after the death of Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, in Jiangdu, they turned to Luoyang allegiance, which is also determined by geographical location, and it is impossible for them to be loyal to the distant Zhongdu.

But after the Three Kingdoms War, the situation in the Central Plains gradually became clearer, especially when Zhang Xuan announced the demarcation agreement between him and Wang Shichong, which meant that the Central Plains was divided into two, and the east of Yingchuan County belonged to the jurisdiction of Zhongdu.

Early in the morning, Yu Wengu and Jun Cheng Han Fu officially met Zhang Xuan, although they were already familiar with each other, but this time Yu Wengu and Han Fu came to pay homage to the regent of the Great Sui as subordinates.

Zhang Xuan invited the two to sit down, and ordered the soldiers to serve tea, he smiled and said to the two: "I met with the Taishou and Juncheng of Liang County, Dong County, Dongping County and other places, and I told them that the top priority in the Central Plains is to stabilize the people's mind, and the second is to restore production, for all officials, the resumption of production is a big thing, and all difficulties will be solved in the slow recovery of people's livelihood. ”

Yu Wengu and Han Fu glanced at each other, and the two said in unison: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will definitely convey His Highness's words as they are." ”

"That's good!"

Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile and said: "Yingchuan County is an outstanding person, talented, although I have not been in Yingchuan County for a long time, but I also feel it, the most shops in Yingchuan County are selling the four treasures of the study, and the most buildings are the school hall, all the major families are running schools in Yingchuan County, and in the spring, there should be many people in Yingchuan County!" ”

Yu Wengu hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness, this year, many scholars in Zhongdu and Chang'an have gone, and we have statistics afterwards, a total of 5,400 people went, of which 2,300 people went to Chang'an, 3,100 people went to Zhongdu, six in Chang'an, eight in Zhongdu, and thousands of people were admitted to Taixue in the two places, and there were slightly more in Zhongdu. ”

"It's not easy! It's not easy! Zhang Xuan praised repeatedly: "There are only 100 places in total, and there are eight in Yingchuan County alone, and it really deserves its reputation." ”

After saying a few more words about the imperial examination, Zhang Xuan asked again: "What is the biggest difficulty in Yingchuan County at present?" ”

Yu Wengu said worriedly: "There are no difficulties, but we are very worried. ”

"Worried about what?" Jaung Hyun asked puzzled.

"We are very worried about Wang Shichong."

Next to Han Fu added: "His Royal Highness and Wang Shichong have drawn a border, and Yingchuan County has become the first place, we are worried that if Wang Shichong and His Royal Highness turn their faces one day, maybe he wants to plunder the Central Plains, he will definitely think of Yingchuan County first, His Royal Highness also knows very well what Wang Shichong is like, he was too brutal in Qinghe County back then, and we still remember it vividly." ”

Zhang Xuan could understand their worries, so he comforted them: "One thing I hope you can understand, Wang Shichong will always face great pressure from Chang'an, if the Tang army wants to expand to the east, Wang Shichong can not get around this hurdle, in this case, Wang Shichong can only ask me, it can be said that his survival is in my hands, give him a hundred dares he will not dare to invade our land, and I gave him Xiangyang County, that is, to open an opening for him to develop southward, let him go to the south and fight for Jingxiang with the Tang army." ”

"Your Highness means that the Tang Army is still coming?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "They will definitely come, but I estimate that it is more likely that they will march east from Bashu, and it is unlikely that they will go to Luojun." ”

Zhang Xuan's comfort made both of them breathe a sigh of relief, and they said a few more words, and then left.

As soon as Yu Wengu and Han Fu left, a personal soldier waiting at the door walked in quickly, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, General Li has returned from Xiangguo County." ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly said, "Let him come to see me!" ”

After a short time, Zhang Xuan's personal soldier Lang walked Li Feng into the room quickly, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See the general!" ”

"Is it done?"

"Your Highness, General Yuwen Chengdu accepted the war horse, returned a sword to His Highness, and brought it back."

Half a month ago, Yuwen Chengdu led the army in Shuyang County and the Tang army in a fierce battle, Yuwen Chengdu was defeated by Li Shimin, his war horse Warlin Beast was unfortunately killed on the battlefield, without Warlin Beast, other ordinary war horses could not bear Yuwen Chengdu's weight and weapon weight, which made him very distressed.

Zhang Xuan heard about this, so he asked Li Feng to send another war horse captured from Yu Wenhua to Yuwen Chengdu, the son of heaven Yang Guang collected more than a dozen BMW horses, all of which were obtained by Yu Wenhua and the Sui army when Yu Wenhua fled north, Zhang Xuan gave one of the horses that looked like a demon beast to Yuwen Chengdu, which relieved his biggest trouble.

Li Feng briefly said how he handed over the war horse to Yuwen Chengdu, and presented a black short sword to Zhang Xuan, "Qiqi Dashuai, this is the sword, Yuwen Chengdu used it to thank Dashuai for giving him the grace of the horse!" ”

Of course, Zhang Xuan knew this black short sword, which was made by Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu Emperor to imitate the fish intestine sword, called Shenglu, which was named after the two swords of Shengye and Zhanlu, and was one of Xiao Yan's most beloved swords, and finally passed to the hands of Chen Houzhu.

After the Chen Dynasty was destroyed, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian gave this sword and a large number of jewels to Yang Su, and later Yang Xuangan rebelled, Yuwenshu went to copy Yang Su's home, and the sword returned to Yuwenshu, and finally Yuwenshu rewarded it to Yuwen Chengdu, which has always been Yuwen Chengdu's most beloved sword, and he actually gave this sword to himself.

Zhang Xuan pulled out this short sword, the sword body was black, black and swarthy without a bit of luster, Zhang Xuan gently swung the sword and slashed at a copper lamp on the case, only to listen to 'Click!' With a bang, the long neck of the bronze lamp was neatly split into two pieces by the short sword, and when it fell to the ground, it was indeed a sword that sharpened iron like clay.

Zhang Xuan secretly thought: "It seems that Yuwen Chengdu understands the deep meaning of giving him a war horse. ’

．．．．．．

The Tang army was forced to retreat, but the biggest beneficiary was Wang Shichong, he was defeated by Li Shimin in a row, was forced into a corner, and finally Zhang Xuan's shot made him win without a fight, and reoccupied Nanyang, Shuyang, Xiyang, Xiangyang, Xiangguo, Huai'an and other six counties, so that the entire western part of the Central Plains became Wang Shichong's territory.

On the one hand, Wang Shichong was grateful to Zhang Xuan for making a move, and on the other hand, he also had to hug Nervous Xuan's thighs, he knew very well that once the Tang Army went east again, he, Wang Shichong, would bear the brunt.

Therefore, Wang Shichong happily fulfilled the conditions reached with Zhang Xuan before, allocated 500,000 stone grain from Luokoucang, and at the same time moved 20,000 artisan households in Luoyang to Zhongdu, which was completed by Duan Da of Luoyang Xiangguo and Pei Ju of Zhongdu Xiangguo.

In addition, out of favor to Zhang Xuan, Wang Shichong specially ordered the release of Lu Chu's family, who were about to abandon their official position and escape, and sent them to Zhongdu.

However, there was one thing that made Wang Shichong not very happy, that is, Zhang Xuan gave Yuwen Chengdu an imperial horse, which was one of the twelve Dawan good horses treasured by Yang Guang, the son of heaven.

Although this is just a personal friendship between Zhang Xuan and Yuwen Chengdu, but this incident itself makes Wang Shichong feel very uncomfortable, he Wang Shichong has not yet enjoyed the emperor's horse, his generals got it first, Wang Shichong feels that this is a bad omen for him to prepare for the emperor's throne.

Of course, he didn't dare to be dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan, so he took his anger on Yuwen Chengdu, if Yuwen Chengdu knew each other, he should dedicate this imperial horse to himself. (To be continued.) )
