It has been nearly a year since Shi Xun guarded Youzhou, because the distance is really far away, so he not only has a very superficial understanding of the situation in Shuzhong, but also the news is completely lagging behind. He just heard that Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, and Zhao Wei fought a big war, and the first one who couldn't bear it was Zhao Wei - in June of the ninth year of Jian'an, Zhao Wei's subordinates Pang Le and Li Yi raised a counter-flag and attacked and killed this Bajun Taishou in a smooth manner.

The land of Sanba was vacated in an instant—with the prestige and strength of Pang and Li, it was naturally impossible to succeed Zhao Wei as the new fourth force—and the other three families impatiently stretched out their hands in a vain attempt to divide the Zhao family's inheritance. It was Zhang Lu who whipped first, and sent his brother Zhang Wei straight into Bazhong to capture and kill Pang and Li Ergenerals; It was Liu Bei who caught up with the last evening gathering, and sent Guan Yu into Ba, although Shun Lì captured the county to govern Jiangzhou, and then it was blocked by the Hanzhong army, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

If the situation only develops like this, it can be said that Liu Zhang's death is done. Liu Bei and Zhang Luben had an alliance, and if they tried to go to Chengdu, Liu Zhang would be difficult to resist. The problem Zhang Lu immediately sent an envoy to see Guan Yu and asked him to spit out Jiangzhou, because Liu Bei Deshu and Zhang Lu Deba were originally pre-agreed agreements. However, Guan Yuxin was appointed by Liu Bei as the Taishou of Ba County, who is willing to give up the territory in hand? If I don't continue to go north to capture Quanba, even if I am worthy of your Zhang family. Taking this as an opportunity, coupled with Liu Zhang's use of Zheng Du's strategy to provoke it, the two families officially turned their faces, and the three parties stood together and continued to start a melee.

For Shi Xun, he just got the news not long ago, but it has been a full half a year behind, and this half a year has passed, how is the shape of Shuzhong now? But he didn't know anything, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed - if only there was a telegraph, if only there was a satellite message......

Of course. Even if he knew that Liu Bei had already obtained all of Shu. and even went north to Hanzhong. After annexing Zhang Lu, for the current Shixun and Cao families, they can only sigh, but they can't do anything because the whip is out of reach. Shixun could only move his gaze to the east and pay attention to the Liaodong issue. He didn't remember when Gongsun Du died, but he remembered that in the original history, Cao Cao broke through Yecheng in the tenth year of Jian'an, and the Yuan brothers jumped east. It should be around this time, Gongsun Shengji has already hung up and passed the throne to Gongsun Kang. That ten years of Jian'an, put on this timeline should be the eleventh year of Jian'an, that is to say, Gongsun Du will have one more year at most.

But at this critical juncture, Cao Cao asked Liu Biao and Sun Quan to send protons, which was undoubtedly an ultimatum before the war. The Liu and Sun families will definitely refuse to obey their orders, that is, they will never bow to Cao Cao's regime, and the envoys will come and go. In addition, Cao Cao was ready for war, and it was only about a year. The southern crusade will inevitably be launched. You said that if when Cao Cao's army marched south, there would be a sudden change of regime in Liaodong, and he might not be able to take it by relying on himself and Yu Ban's strength. And if the battle situation on the front line is not smooth, then Cao Cao must summon forbidden recruits to the south, and it is difficult for him to support himself, and it is great to be able to firmly hold Youzhou without losing an inch of land, let alone enterprising?

He also wrote to Cao Cao many times, saying that Lu Su's naval army had not yet been fully organized and could not be lightly discussed in the southern expedition, but Cao Cao might not be able to listen to it. Besides, Cao Cao Da can follow the order of the original history, first attack Liu Biao, to level Jingbei, and then take the Jiangling Water Division to the east - Lu Zijing, you continue to practice, we are not in a hurry.

Therefore, it is still quite difficult for Xun to seek Liaodong, not only can he not seek reinforcements from Cao Cao, but even Yu Ban's soldiers and horses may not be reliable. He had to step up the recruitment of displaced people, encircle the Hu tribe, and reorganize the army to expand his military strength - Dian Weicha came to Jixian at this time, and Shixun was quite overjoyed. Even if you can't fight now, after all, the knowledge of fighting is there, and you must still be qualified to be a hands-on leader.

Shixun still remembers that he once read a news in his previous life, saying that a certain country's swimming team won the championship in a competition, and the athletes celebrated and lifted the coach up to the water, but who would have thought that two bubbles would sink to the bottom - a dignified swimming coach who can't swim! But what does it matter? They have strong theoretical knowledge and first-class management skills.

Originally, the recruitment of troops was coordinated by Zhuge Liang, and the training of new soldiers was handed over to Sun Wen and Qin Yi. Problem: Sun Yunan can only act as a thug, Qin Yi is not a general, although Dian Wei is not a general, after all, in the original history, he personally commanded dozens of people to control Zhang Xiu's army, which shows that the tactical ability of the 100-person squad is still quite strong. Therefore, Shi Xun also sent Dian Wei over to train the army, and everything could be discussed with Sun and Qin.

As for Guo Boji, after all, he is still young, and he is somewhat pedantic like a doctor, and he can't get along with the soldiers, compared to the middle-aged warriors who have fought for the rest of his life in history, and there is a long way to go. Yes Xun used him as a staff officer for the time being.

The assassins are all self-reliant, and the most respected of them is Don't Drive, and this position naturally fell to Guan Jing. However, Shi Xun admired Guan Jing's political struggle ability, but he had to put a big question mark on this talent and strategic strategy - otherwise Gongsun Chan would not be so miserable. Therefore, this don't drive to do it, called "recording public affairs", in fact, you don't have to worry about anything, you just travel all day.

The rest of the bureaucracy is mostly locals who have been recruited. There are many big clans in Youzhou, not many families, and those big clans were either killed by Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao, and most of the remaining families were moved to Xudu by Cao Cao - for example, Xian Yu - for Shi Xun, it is like a blank piece of paper, even if he appoints his person, it is not easy to cause a big tail. Among the two people he values the most, one is the famous general and the son of the great Confucian Lu Zhi, Lu Yuzizi, and the other is the future Cao Wei famous minister Tian Yuzi.

In these years, the local power was absolutely strong, and the county guards, state ministers, and assassins were no different from feudal princes except that they could not be hereditary, especially in remote areas like Youzhou, where the imperial court almost didn't care about anything except taxation. Therefore, it is Xun Zhen who guards Youzhou, except for the wives and concubines and children who cannot all be taken to his side, it is much more comfortable than living in the capital - the huge land, nearly a million people, can be decided in one word, this is really a man's paradise!

It's not that he hasn't been a magistrate, and the first one was a small Chengyang Order, which is not enough to worry about; The second time I was the county guard of Hedong, and the county was empty. The Huns are on the side. It was trembling and treading on thin ice; The third is the history of Shuozhou Thorn. But when he first took office, he only held a Xihe County in his hand, and if the population is sparse, it is not as good as Hedong. Only this time is the history of Youzhou, although it is not a large state in the Central Plains, and it has been repeatedly warned, Hu Lu is on the side, and after all, the number of household registrations is restored very quickly. And the Hu people are not in serious trouble, and they can implement their policies boldly and confidently.

Shixun's policy is actually very simple, it is nothing more than revitalizing agriculture, advocating business, emphasizing education, reorganizing the army, building roads, and making peace with Hu. Xingnong is not unusual, who should be the assassin of this Youzhou in these years, the first thing is agriculture. At the beginning of his tenure, he asked Yu Ban to borrow soldiers, and there was a big sweep in the state, such as Gao Ai, a native of Tuyin, who took advantage of the chaos to gather thousands of people, and robbed houses everywhere. It took half a year to all of them one after another. The good people are coerced, and the land is granted. Let it cultivate itself, and the brave and healthy will be organized into state soldiers, and the brave and unusable will all be encircled and tuntian. Youzhou is vast and has a lot of idle fields, as long as it does not cause major disputes, he will use it all as official use and distribute it to the displaced people to reclaim the wasteland.

For those middle and upper class families, they lured them with the benefits of the mountains and rivers, and bought their land more or less - of course, most of the scholars in these years have a lot of land, and they want their fields more strictly than their lives, but unfortunately the assassin has soldiers in his hands, on the one hand, he is ruthless, and at the same time, he is used to playing the means of three and four, who can resist?

Chongshang and Hu Ben are the same thing. There are still many Karasuma tribes in Youzhou, although they were split by Cao Cao one by one, they could not be squeezed in a hurry, and in the north and west of Youzhou, there were still many Xianbei tribes nomadic. It was a letter from Xun, and Tuoba and several other departments migrated eastward, and set up a pasture in Yanmen County, which was adjacent to Dai County-Yanmen Taishou was Guo Huai's father, Guo Yi, as long as he said hello in advance, he was naturally not allowed. With Tuoba's horns contained, Budugen and Kebineng and other departments did not dare to offend Youzhou lightly.

Previously, with Cao Cao's approval, Shi Xun opened four customs markets on the border to trade with Xianbei and Karasuma. Except for the restricted export of iron tools, the Han people, especially the craftsmen, are absolutely not allowed to exceed the blockage, and the rest of the materials of the Han land are all used to exchange cattle and horses without restrictions. Now there are no less than a dozen caravans that are the "queen" of Xun, and they have successively exported the treasures of the Central Plains to the grasslands - it is the envoy who said that only Lord Hu has the ability to trade in large quantities, and those adults are the ones who like luxury goods the most.

In fact, this abacus is very good, one silk can be exchanged for ten catties of iron, and Lord Hu makes two more silk clothes for his wife and concubine, which is equivalent to making two less swords. Yes Xun hated that all the adults were full of silk and bronze mirrors, and took off the leather wrench to replace it with a gemstone ring......

As for the imported cattle and horses, about half of them were left in Youzhou for their own use, and the other half were imported into the Central Plains in exchange for more luxury goods.

In addition, Shixun also took Lu Yu in charge of his affairs, and asked Yan Rou, the captain of Karasuma, and Xu Wuxian Lingtian Chou to help, and recruited people, hoping to open up the passage from Baitan to Liucheng through Pinggang. Because Cao Cao was a lesson from the past, he could not hope for the road by the sea, and even if it did not catch the rainy season, the road would be muddy and difficult to navigate, and it would be difficult for the army to quickly pass Guò in order to force Liaodong. It is a pity that for fear of delaying the agricultural work, the number of conscripts recruited is very small, and the project is forced to stop, and the road that can accommodate the passage of the army has just been built near the city of Chengde in later generations, and it is less than one-tenth of the whole process. If it weren't for Zhuge Liang's ingenuity and innovation of several means of transportation, it is estimated that the overall progress would be even slower.

But it doesn't matter, Shi Xun comforted himself and said that even if he couldn't use it in the battle to conquer Liaodong, this road could push the border line northward and gradually restore the northeastern territory during the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty, so that it would not be useless.

In terms of education, regardless of status, as long as the family has a permanent property, you can enroll, and Shixun has also personally taught at Guangyang County School many times. In terms of the army, more than 2,000 Han soldiers were recruited, and more than 1,000 Karasuma Raiders were handed over to Dian Wei and the three of them for strict training. Coupled with the soldiers of various counties, as well as Yan Rou, Yu Ban and other departments, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses can be pulled up within ten days.

At the same time, Shixun also paid great attention to collecting intelligence on Liaodong. Just like this time, he had just finished his banquet with Dian Wei, and a messenger came from Zhuo County to present a letter from the county guard. The letter was contained in a box, and when Shixun opened the lid to take a look, there was a folded page, a piece of wood, and a piece of silk. Read the letter first, but after seeing the greetings, the frustration went straight to the point-

"The Transmission of Letters and ...... from Liaodong" (to be continued......)
