Three days later, on the ninth day of the eighth month, Wang Yu left Yicheng and embarked on the return journey.

"Brother Pengjuxian, when I think of saying goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again, in my heart, don't mention it."

Although Yicheng is now a part of Sui'an County, Yuan Shu is greedy for the prosperity here, but he can't get rid of it, and all military and political orders have been issued from this, as if he wants to move the administrative office from Shouchun.

Today, I heard that Wang Yu was leaving, he also came to see him off, the sincerity was still very strong, in order not to delay the send-off, he didn't drink last night, to be precise, he wasn't drunk.

"Brother Highway, it's all your own family, why are you still doing this?" Wang Yu smiled and said, "I'm leaving, you must have let out a long sigh in your heart, right?" ”

"What did you say?" Yuan Shu was no longer angry, and retorted with a stiff neck: "Pengju, I can tell you, you can look down on my ability, but you can't slander my personality, our brotherhood, that is love is stronger than gold, and it can compete with the sun and the moon......"

Wang Yu didn't answer, just looked at him quietly, and said a few words, Yuan Shu couldn't hold it anymore first, and he was very aggrieved: "Okay, I admit it, you are gone, in addition to being sad, I do have a little bit of joy...... Just a little bit. But can I be blamed for this? It's all your responsibility! ”

Wang Yu blinked, a little inexplicable, thinking to himself, how could this thing not even be able to stand such a little anger, and stab him with words and go away?

"Of course it's your responsibility." I only heard Yuan Shuxuan say matter-of-factly: "Thousands of shouldn't, never be, you shouldn't be so good!" You said that you can set the country with martial arts, but Anbang, this appearance and character are also ......"

He slurped and looked at one of the carriages in the line. The envy in his eyes couldn't be hidden: "The pair of sisters of the Qiao family, I really see you pitiful, they are handsome, and their vision is also very high, how many young talents have been turned away, and the result?" Just glanced at you from afar, and I was willing to do it, and I secretly agreed......"

"You said that with you, there is still room for others to show their faces?"

It was still a joke at first. Speaking of which, Yuan Shu seemed to be touched, and sighed: "I think that I was also a well-known son of a family in Luoyang, and now although I am a little older, I am also old and strong." Can be around you...... Alas, don't say anything, you go, hurry up, don't come back. ”

"Hahahaha......" Wang Yu was amused by him, but he didn't see that Yuan Shu was also very talented as a drama actor. If he travels to the afterlife, maybe Uncle Mountain will be unemployed.

Of course, as the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, no matter how bad Yuan Shu is. It can't be a gag clown. After Zhuge Liang's guidance, Wang Yu can now distinguish the voices of the children of the family.

Yuan Shu deliberately acted trickily, just to imply that he would not easily destroy the alliance. So you don't need to ask for sin. At the same time, he also admitted. In this new alliance, Huainan is the weaker side.

In front of Wang Yu, Yuan Shu really has no temper, but with his character, it is impossible to say this kind of thing directly to his face, and it is already the limit to say it in this kind of suggestive way.

"That's fine, Brother Highway, you can enjoy peace in Jiujiang for a few years. After a certain settles down in the northern frontier, you and my brother will hunt in the Central Plains again, wouldn't it be happy? Wang Yu did the same and gave his promise in the same way.

"That's a good feeling, but it's ......" Speaking in this kind of politician's tone, Yuan Shu is much more sophisticated than Wang Yu, he knew that Wang Yu was letting him settle down a little, and when Qingzhou began to compete for the Central Plains, he would definitely not forget his merits.

Yuan Shu hesitated and said, "Pengju, didn't you promise me before, saying that there was no problem with that matter?" ”

"It's no problem, so don't worry."

"But......" Yuan Shu stopped talking, but his suspicious eyes showed his mood, obviously, he was not very satisfied with Wang Yu's answer.

Wang Yu frowned, and patiently explained: "Actually, I don't care about this kind of nominal matter, but the problem is that if the Northern Xinjiang really fights, I may not have time to take care of it for a long time." If someone violates our borders, and someone will attack them head-on, but such a thing as crossing the border and sending troops will take a long time just to ask for instructions back and forth, and then the water will not be able to quench the thirst of the near, isn't it bad? ”

Just like the grudge between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, although Yuan Shu expressed his obedience, he also had a knot, that is, his dream of becoming the emperor.

In the previous negotiations, Wang Yu acquiesced to Yuan Shu's request, saying that he did not support and would not interfere. But as the situation changed, Wang Yu felt that it would be more beneficial for Qingzhou if Yuan Shu could persist in the Jianghuai area for a few more years, so he advised Yuan Shu to be honest.

Historically, Yuan Shu was beaten by a group of people after being called emperor, and now although there is no Liu Bei, the risk of Yuan Shu becoming emperor is still very great, and Wang Yu does not want Jianghuai to fall into chaos in a few days.

"That'...... It's up to you. After hesitating for a while, Yuan Shu nodded reluctantly, and agreed. But somehow, Wang Yu was always a little uncertain in his heart, and wondered if Yuan Shu would engage in yang and yin violations.

I have the heart to explain to Yuan Shu that I don't care about him being the emperor, although I can't let him live as an emperor in the Central Plains, but I can let him go to places like Wadao, Nanyang, and the Western Regions to be the emperor of the soil.

As soon as the future overseas strategy is launched, how much difference can there be between the colonial governor and the emperor? It's just a matter of name. It is entirely worth exchanging this trouble for the stability of Jianghuai in the next few years.

can look at Yuan Shu's stupid appearance, this matter is really difficult to explain.

There is no doubt about the overseas world, except for himself, only Tai Shici can understand it best, and the others, even Jia Xu, are half-convinced about it. Using this statement to comfort Yuan Shu is counterproductive.

After thinking about it, Wang Yu felt that it was better not to continue this topic.

Without mentioning this topic, the atmosphere was restored, but after all, there was still a little more estrangement.

On the way to departure, looking at Yuan Shu who was forced to smile, Wang Yu sighed silently in his heart, it is really difficult for the world to be as expected.

Wang Yu's chosen return route was to first go east along the Huai River, and turn northward at Wuhe, passing by Xiaqiu, the seat of Sui'an County.

The troops he led were all light cavalry and moved quickly, and in the evening of the second day after leaving Yicheng, they had already arrived at Xiaqiu. Taishou Wang Lang got the news and waited at the city gate early.

"How dare Mr. Lao Jingxing wait here for a long time? It's really a feather. ”

"What did the hussar say?" Wang Lang waved his hand, smiling, obviously very satisfied with Wang Yu's attitude.

"The general fought on the battlefield at the age of a weak crown, repeatedly turned the tide, and the name of loyalty and righteousness spread all over the sea, although Lang was in the remote place of Jiangdong, he was also like thunder. In the future, when the Han Dynasty is prosperous, on the top of history, the name of the general will be at the top of the list, Lang has the luck of attaching the tail, and the general is given by the general, both in public and private, and the general should be respected, otherwise it will not be laughed at by the world, and the wolf will be sarcastic in the middle? ”

"Mr. Jingxing is too polite." Wang Yu was amazed when he heard it, he deserved to be a veteran politician, and what he said was really stable and leaky.

The sycophant is still secondary, the key is Wang Lang's hint, he sandwiched the intention of the effect between a lot of praise and praise, and achieved his goal without falling into the handle. In the end, he also went around the corner and mentioned the old incident of You Heng scolding Yuan Shao that day, obviously deliberately mentioning this proud matter, for the sake of high-level sycophants.

After a few words of greeting, Wang Lang did not continue to pat on the back, but his face turned grim and he began to get down to business.

Nominally, it was three no matter, but Sui'an's construction policy was carried out under the guidance of Wang Yu. According to Wang Yu's design, Sui'an County will become a logistics and trade-based area in the future.

Where commerce and trade are prosperous, transportation is bound to be developed, Sui'an is located between Sui and Huai Ershui, and the waterway is very developed, but the situation on land is much worse.

In this era, the road is built by footsteps, and only the official road is an exception. The official road is usually paved with triple soil, which is spacious and flat, and convenient to come and go. However, after all, Sanhe soil is not asphalt and cement, and even if it is asphalt and cement, it is impossible to use it for decades in one go.

Many of the official roads in the Jianghuai area have not been repaired since the Huan Ling era, and now, the official roads in the past have become potholed and devastated.

It's fine on a sunny day, but when the rainy season comes, these roads will be deadly. The muddy roads are enough to turn cavalry into infantry, infantry into turtles, and logistical supplies are even more nightmarish difficulty.

It was precisely because of seeing these that Wang Yu finally decided to make certain concessions and re-conclude an alliance with Yuan Shu, Huairou Jianghuai and the strong in the Jianghuai area.

There is no way, here the root does not have the conditions to start a large army. If you continue the previous policy and exterminate Haoqiang, just the dock forts on this land are enough to make people desperate, plus Yuan Valve's huge latent forces in this place, let alone a year and a half, three and five years, don't think about a result.

This is also why in the war of Wei against Eastern Wu in history, it was never able to make a breakthrough on the Jianghuai front. On the other hand, when Wu counterattacked, it was often repelled by Wei with a small number of troops.

Due to the geographical situation, there is no way to carry out large-scale operations in this area.

Wang Yu positioned Sui'an as a logistics center, and the deep meaning is also here. Under the banner of 'if you want to get rich, build roads first', the Department of Commerce has done a lot of infrastructure planning in Sui'an, and the core is how to make transportation more convenient.

Roads were built, canals were dug, and ports and wharves were built...... If nothing else, in the last two or three years, Sui'an, a place connecting the north and the south, will become accessible in all directions, not only convenient for business travel, but also convenient for the march of large armies.

At that time, no matter who rules Jianghuai, there is no way to rely on the geographical advantage to resist the army of Qingzhou, so he can only resist. Of course, the reverse is also true, if there is a powerful force from Jianghuai to raise troops and expedition to the Central Plains in the north, Sui'an will also provide it with full convenience.

But Wang Yu is confident, this possibility is very low, even if it really happens, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is nothing more than soldiers coming to block it, and water is coming to cover it.
