Wen Chou and Sun Jianbing entered Yingchuan, stayed in Yangzhai for a few days, and did several things.

First of all, Sun Jian said that Zhu Zhi was the Taishou of Yingchuan, and then such as Wang Zhen, Feng Liang and other officials of the original Yingchuan County Government, still occupied their respective duties, and Zhou Lu selected 2,000 elites from the county soldiers, and prepared to take them to Changshan,—— Yingchuan County soldiers now have about 4,000 soldiers, and Zhou Lu will take them away if they are not good, so Zhou Lu only selected 2,000 elite soldiers from them, and the rest were left to Zhu Zhi.

After these few things were done, Luo Tao and other state officials happened to arrive in Yingchuan to pick up Sun Jian. Sun Jian, Wen Chou, Luo Tao and others met. Luo Tao took the lead and bowed to the ground, saluted Sun Jian, and said: "Kong Gong is seriously ill and has left the house to return to his hometown. ”

However, for Sun Jian, the most important thing now is how to sit firmly in the position of assassin of Yuzhou, so Sun Jian has no plans to stay in Yingchuan any longer, so he wants to go to the state to govern. He asked Wen Chou: "Does Qing want to stay in Yingchuan for a while, or do you want to return to Changshan?" ”

Wen Chou smiled: "I'm not in a hurry to return to Changshan. ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he smiled and said, "That being the case, Qing Shang and I can go on the same journey again." ”

The two stopped at Yingchuan for another day, and the next day they set camp and went east. From Yingchuan to Peiguo, you have to pass through Chen and Liang, and if you take a detour, you can also pass through Runan. There are a total of six counties in Yuzhou, which are Yingchuan, Runan, Chen, Liang, Pei, and Lu.

Among these six counties, Runan is the largest, followed by Peiguo and Yingchuan, and then Chen, Liang and Lu.

That is to say, if Sun Jianru wants to sit firmly in the position of Yuzhou Thorn History, the first thing that needs to be controlled in his hands is Runan, then Peiguo, Yingchuan, and then Chen Guo, Liang State, and Lu State, and among the three kingdoms of Chen, Liang, and Lu, in addition to Chen Guo, need to pay attention. Liang and Lu don't have to worry too much, this is because Liang and Lu are narrow and have few people, and the longest part of these two counties is only 400 li, and the widest point is only 200 li, which is almost negligible in terms of military ability alone.

In fact. If the land is narrow, the area of Chen Guo is actually about the same as that of Liang and Lu, and it is not big, but Chen Guo has a Chen King Liu Pet, and Liu Pet has a quite powerful army under his command, Liu Pet is good at crossbows, so he has many crossbowmen in the army. Until Zhang Jiao was defeated, there were not many Yellow Turban soldiers who dared to enter the border of Chen, this time the princes asked for Dong, although he was the identity of the princes and kings, he could not leave the country without authorization, and did not directly lead troops to participate, but he also sent some people to help Wen Chou and Sun Jian, and personally led the troops to be stationed in Yangxia County, not far from the border of Chenliu County. And he called himself the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, so although Chen Guo was also narrow. But militarily it cannot be ignored.

And for another reason, Chen Guoxiang's name is Luo Jun, he has civil and military talents, and he is deeply loved by the people in Chen State, and he has a reputation far away. Chen Guowen has Luo Jun, and Wu has Liu Pet. Therefore, although the jurisdiction is small, it cannot be ranked with Liang and Lu, and Sun Jian needs to pay attention to it.

Sun Jian is the first time to serve as the assassin of Yuzhou, he knows that he is not from a scholar family, so he can be the assassin of Yuzhou this time. It was only because of the performance of the ugly text that he did not get the edict of the imperial court, so he was afraid that it was difficult to find the support of the state sergeant and the county guards, so this time he went to Qian County to take office, he did not choose the shortest distance, that is, he did not choose the road to Qian County through Chen and Liang, but chose to enter Runan first, then turn north, enter Chen State, then go to Liang State, and finally enter Peiguo County.

His meaning is obvious, he wants to pass this trip, first, to see what the attitude of the three county defenders of Runan, Chen, and Liang will be towards him, whether to support him, or not to take him seriously, and the other is to show off the strength of the soldiers and horses, if the county defenders of these counties refuse to obey him, he can take the opportunity to use force to intimidate and suppress.

Wen Chou understood what he meant, and anyway, this road was not too far, so he was happy to give him a strong momentum, and without objecting to it, he agreed to the route he chose, and agreed to march with him.

The two led the army out of Yingchuan, first into Runan, Runan Taishou named Xu Miao, heard the news, is to summon the ministers to discuss. At that time, the county chief of Runan County was Xu Shao, and Xu Shaoyin said to Xu Miao: "Sun Wentai and his people have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have rebelled in several times. In today's chaotic world, only the strong can ensure the stability of a situation, Sun Wentai has the reputation of being good at fighting, and the prince may wish to welcome him. ”

Xu Shao valued Sun Jian's name and ability to be 'good at fighting', so in order to maintain the stability of Runan and even Yuzhou in the troubled times, Xu Miao could go to meet him, that is, acquiesce to his position as the state assassin.

Xu Miao hesitated a little and said: "Kong Gong is not immoral, but he was forced out of the state capital by Sun Wentai and had to help him return to his hometown,...... General, Sun Wentai can force Kong Gong, if I welcome him, in case he comes to force me again in the future, how is it good? ”

Kong Ling was forced away by Sun Jian, and Sun Jian thus won the position of Yuzhou Assassin History, in case Sun Jian plotted against Runan again in the future, and then forced Xu Miao away? Xu Miao was unwilling.

Xu Shaoyan said: "Kong Gonggu has no loss of morality, but I still say the same thing: In today's troubled times, only the strong can protect the territory and the people." Kong Gong is not proficient in the art of war, and he wants to compete with Sun Wentai, and he is finally forced away by Sun Wentai to blame, and Fujun is different from Kong Gong. ”

Xu Miaoyan said: "What's the difference? ”

Xu Shaoyan said: "If the prince of the palace can welcome Sun Wentai, and all Sun Wentai's orders will be followed in the future, what reason does Sun Wentai have to force the Ming Mansion?" ”

Xu Miao said: "But if he ordered it in the future, so that I can't follow it?" ”

Xu Shao said helplessly: "If you can't get it from in the future, you have your own countermeasures for the future." Now that Sun Wentai and the civil and military forces have joined forces to enter the country, if the Ming Mansion does not welcome them, I am afraid that they will not be forced by Sun Wentai in the future, but that there will be disaster now! ”

Xu Shao's sentence can be summed up in seven words: heroes don't suffer immediate losses. When this sentence was spoken, Xu Miao was silent, and in the end, although he was reluctant, he could only sigh and say: "That's it, just like Qing Yan, I'll go to meet that Sun Wentai!" ”

Xu Miao left the county mansion and took Xu Shao and other officials to welcome Sun Jian and Wen Chou. Seeing Xu Miao and Xu Shao, Sun Jian and Wen Chou were warm and polite. After staying in Runan for two days, Wen Chou and Sun Jian said goodbye and left, continued their journey, and went north to Chen Guo.

Chen Wang Liu Pet and Chen Xiang Luo Jun, the two of them are not so entangled with Xu Miao, because although Chen Guo has strong soldiers and horses, the land is narrow in the end, unlike Runan, a county accounts for almost half of the state's land, since the land is narrow, there will not be many ideas, seeing that even Runan has acquiesced to the status of Sun Jianzhou's assassin history, Liu Chong and Luo Jun will not come out to be strong, and they will also come out to welcome them.
