After Shixun surrendered Gongsun Mo's department, he led the army into Xiangping City and temporarily lived in Gongsun Du's super luxurious mansion. When Zhuge Liang heard the news, he hurriedly ran over to admonish him, saying: "This house is out of control, and it is rude for Mr. to live there." "It's Xunxin who said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, why are you so worried? However, he still thanked Zhuge Liang for his kindness, and ordered that the gate of the passover system be demolished first, and an outer wall was removed, and then moved to a remote area, and the main building complex was given up for use as a public house.

Fortunately, Shi Xun didn't care about the living environment - even if it was a partial courtyard, it was much bigger than his mansion in Xudu and the Thorn History Mansion in Jixian County, not to mention the small unit in the previous life. Besides, the most important thing in the living environment is that the facilities are complete, and in this life, there are no flush toilets, electric lights, and telephones, so where to live is not to live.

The feathers are galloping in all directions, and the counties of Liaodong and Xuansu counties are all looking at the wind and descending - the Gongsun brothers have long fled without a trace, who is willing to hold on to the capsized ship? Aren't you afraid that the evil waves will roll in and sink to the bottom in an instant? Naturally, the Gongsun clan has been in the corner of the sea for more than ten years, and the people's hearts are not so easy to completely reverse, but the Youzhou army has entered directly, and the Gongsun regime has become a yellow flower of tomorrow, and no one dares to jump out to pick up the tiger whiskers of Shixun for the time being, most of them are perfunctory and wait-and-see.

In this regard, Shi Xun adopted a pacification strategy, and still made Zhang Chang, Wang Jian, etc., cooperate with Xiao Ji to manage government affairs, and in addition to Xiangping, the county magistrates also remained in their posts - including Liu Xu, the head of Pingguo.

On the same day, Liu Xu was defeated and escaped alone, but was captured by Cao's army in the fort and dedicated to Xiahou Yuan who was passing by. Even if Xiahou Yuan wanted to behead him, Liu Xu kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged bitterly. finally left a small life. Xiahou Yuan pondered. Since it is Xun is the main general of the expedition. The captured enemy prisoners were handed over to Shixun for punishment, so Liu Xu was finally tied up with a rope and escorted to the foot of the first mountain.

At that time, Shi Xun had not yet entered Xiangping City, so he called Liu Xu to come to see him. As soon as Liu Xu entered the account, he knocked on the ground with his hands behind his back and shouted his wish to surrender. It was Xun Xian who did not loosen the ties for him, but asked him in detail about leading the army to cut off the grain route of his own army, as well as the causes and consequences of the defeat of Dian Wei and Xiahou Yuan. Liu Xu didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, so he was prepared to say it. It's enough to say that there is a meal. Shi Xun sighed: "Although the national domain is in ruins, but the pride does not retreat, the blessing of my family is also!" On the one hand, I am quite satisfied that this captive has a clear mind and words--he is not a top talent, but it is enough to garrison a county.

So he ordered Liu Xu to untie the rope and let him sit down and talk back. Liu Yunzhen thanked him for his kindness, sat down sideways, and Shi Xun asked: "Since you Yan led the boat division to attack me, how many ships did Ping Guo have?" Liu Xu hurriedly owed his body and arched his hands. replied sincerely: "Pingguo, Yushi, and Xi'an Ping, all have good harbors. It can trade with You, Ying, Qing, Deng and Sanhan through the sea channel, and there are no less than 20 maritime merchants and nearly 100 large and small ships. In front of the more than 20 ships carrying troops, nine cows and a dime. However, the soldiers in the three counties are few and few, and it is useless to take more ships. ”

In fact, there are more sea ships in the three counties in the southeast of Liaoning, but there are few soldiers, and it is useless to call more ships, so we temporarily requisitioned more than 20 of them.

It was Xun who groaned for a long time before continuing to ask: "I want to release Ru Nangui, so that the property of the maritime merchants will be confiscated as military resources, and their ships will be used for official purposes, but what?" ”

Liu Xu has been half-bowing, waiting for Shi Xun's question, even if his legs are already sore, he doesn't dare to sit down with confidence, he heard the inquiry, and quickly replied: "They have their own guards, if there are no two or three thousand strong soldiers, I am afraid it will be difficult to copy and ......inspect" Shi Xun grinned: "If I pay you three thousand troops, can I do it?" ”

Liu Xu replied: "If the prince and the marquis go with the three thousand troops, they will return triumphantly." However, Liaodong is barren, and it depends on sea trade, and if it is copied and confiscated, it is the wealth of the treasury. The meaning of going down, the prince wants to stabilize Pingzhou for the court, not a plunderer, so stealing is not taken by the prince - going down does not dare to go against the meaning of the prince and marquis, and the prince is sincere, and the prince and the marquis are observed. As he spoke, he leaned forward and kowtowed.

It's Xun Xin who said okay, this person still has a little brain, and he has a little discipline left, and he is not willing to do anything to save his life. Immediately stretched out his hand and said: "Yunzhen doesn't have to be like this, just joke about it." ”

As soon as Liu Xu heard something, he suddenly changed his greeting to me from "Ru" to a word, which shows that Jun is more satisfied with my words, and it is estimated that not only will he not kill me again, but he will also reuse it. I was secretly happy in my heart, but on the surface, I still showed sincere fear, my head was not knocked, but I bowed my hand again and again.

Shi Xun said that what you said is reasonable, it is impossible for me to raid all the maritime merchants in Liaodong and cut off their own financial routes, so you might as well copy the few maritime merchants who accompanied you to set an example - they have offended me, if they are not punished at all, will they not make people despise me? You will transport all the goods you have stolen to Xiangping for me...... Give me to transport it to Youzhou, and all the ships I have copied will be confiscated—

"I am currently referring to Lelang, and the boat master must cover the road and carry troops." Just the twenty or so...... Oh, now there are a dozen or so ships left, plus those ships that the maritime merchants have not offered, let's form a fleet and prepare to attack Lelang County.

So he appointed Liu Xu with the title of post governor in southeastern Liao, and sent him to Pingguo and other places to deal with the matter. Liu Xu thanked him for his kindness and left with great loyalty.

However, it was Xun who wanted to continue to march and attack Lelang, but Xiahou Yuan passed on Cao Cao's words, saying that Liu Yi had the intention of surrendering, and that Lelang's problem was best solved by government, and there was no need to use troops again. Shixun was very depressed at first, but after hanging his head and thinking for a while, he couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, I want to levy without levy, and Le Lang can not go down." ”

Xiahou Yuan asked him what he meant. It was Xun Twist who replied: "Although Liu Yi is in the imperial court, he has the intention of naturalization, but the imperial court has not yet issued an edict to pardon him. He dwells in the corner of the sea, and cuts the land like a king, and if he is not deterred, he will think that the court is powerless. Although he has no children now, he knows the future? In addition, it will not be passed on to the sons, and the future will be passed on to the relatives and subordinates, and Lelang is still outside. ”

Liu Zigang said it well today, saying that he has no son, as long as he dies, he will return the ruling power of Lelang to the imperial court in its entirety. But the problem is that he can pass on his son to others, he can pass on his godson, and he can pass on his cronies and subordinates - just like the later Tang Dynasty feudal towns - what will happen in the future, no one can predict, is it up to him to talk empty words and perfunctory?

So we must wave our army to the south to deter him, and let him know that if the court wants to pinch him, it is as simple as pinching a bedbug. If he is sincere in surrendering, he should sweep the couch to greet him, if he is not sincere, this battle will inevitably have to be fought - "This matter still depends on Miaocai, the former Ping Liaodong, and the later Dingle Lang, all have the merit of Miaocai, do not resign." "I'll write a lot about your merits in the play, don't just look at the fight and prepare to flash people.

Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, so he used the name of protecting the army to integrate and control the various armies. Let's say that Xun entered Xiangping City a few days later, first arranged for Liaodong to surrender to the generals and his own troops, subdued the counties, and stabilized the people - he temporarily took charge of Pingzhou Prefecture, but the specific work was all thrown to Zhuge Liang, Xiao Ji, Xiahou Yuan and others - and at the same time played Cao Cao, asking for a new assassin for Pingzhou. I'm still a history of Youzhou, it's impossible to rule Pingzhou for a long time, don't you want to drive me from the relatively rich Youzhou to the remote and barren Pingzhou!

Immediately, Shixun wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to the Korean city of Lelang County and handed it to Liu Yi. At the beginning of the letter, he first greeted a few words, talked about his past friendships, and then turned around, roughly introducing his attack on Liaodong, and by the way, he praised Liu Yi for knowing the time, being polite and righteous, and drawing a clear line with the Gongsun family in time. At the end of the letter, he said that he had a new poem and wanted to ask Liu Yi for advice.

Liu Yi received the letter and read it all the way to here, and his heart was still quite down-to-earth, thinking that his statement was timely and could avoid the disaster of swords. But then I read the poem, and I saw that it was very short, only four sentences—

"Le Bing is overseas in the east, stationed in the sun of Ma Xun. North Korea is not a land, who cares about the old frontier? ”

Liu Zi Gangnai was shocked: "It's Hongfu who wants to kill me!" ”

The words of this poem are not quaint and jerky, even Liu Yi, a half-drawn country man, can read it, because it is rare not plagiarism, but indeed a new work. If you want to say that the five-character poems of this year, at least six sentences, and the length may reach dozens or even dozens of sentences, which are very common in later generations, and they are not popular at the moment. Fortunately, in this era of great changes in literary style and poetic style, from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the precedent of the Later Japanese Rhythmic Poetry was actually opened.

It's not difficult to write poetry, especially this kind of short poem, it's very difficult to be brilliant, if you just want to be stable, it's a very easy thing. It is Xun who memorized countless poems in his previous life, as the so-called "familiar with 300 Tang poems, I can't make poems and can chant", and after coming to this world, I learned the old books from scratch, digested allusions, and gradually practiced a good hand of applied literature, and further learned to write poems, which is not much against the sky.

The strict rhythm of later generations has not yet been established in these years, and whether the poems are peaceful and harmonious, and whether they are melodious and melodious, all depends on the daily sense of language, and there are no hard and fast rules. Shen Yue of the Southern Dynasty once proposed the "Eight Diseases", which was considered an abuse of the rules of later generations, but that thing was too rigid, but it limited the form and poetic expression of the poem. Poetry and observance of the rhythm, as the so-called "dancing in shackles", is to see the skills of the dancers, and to abide by the "eight diseases" is to huddle in the cage and dance, in vain to make people laugh.

Regardless of the rules of the Pingqian Grid, it is Xun's five words and four sentences that can be called "ancient", and the difficulty of creation is relatively small. So he wrote a letter that day, and after a little groaning, he came to such a paragraph, secretly warning Liu Yi - don't think that if you express your attitude in time and return to the imperial court, I will be able to spare you!

The first sentence "Le Bing is overseas" is still to be said, which means that he has an expedition to Liaodong; The next sentence "Zhuma Hun Yang" is not right, Hunshui is the boundary river between Lelang and Liaodong County, and Hunzhiyang is the north bank of Hunshui, which clearly says that I am going to take the soldiers over, and I will almost enter the territory of Lelang. Three or four sentences said that Lelang's county rule Korea was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it was isolated from the outside for a while, and I don't know who could recover sovereignty for the imperial court?

This "who" of "who is in charge of the old frontier" definitely does not refer to him Liu Zigang, but to Hongfu! (To be continued......)
