In the spring of the fourth year of Jian'an, just after the New Year, Shixun took Zhang Ji, Xiahoulan, and Sun Wen from Anyi to the north, crossed the Fenshui, and marched to the northern two counties of Hedong County. Xia Houlan suggested: "If Gao Gan comes from the north road, there are two ways. One is to go southwest along the Fenshui, then I should reject it with the Huns; The second is from the south of Puzi and Beiqu two counties, and the Jiting and Pishi in the north of Fenbei are dangerous to guard. If the enemy can be blocked north of Fenshui, then Anyi will have no worries. ”

Strategic planning is not the director's strength, but after studying various historical materials in his previous life, as well as years of paper talk among friends and on the Internet, his knowledge in this area has surpassed that of most scholars in this era. Therefore, with his ability, it was easy to understand and understand what Xiahou Lan said, and he nodded immediately, and after crossing the Fenshui, he left Zhang Ji to build a city in Jiting - the Pi clan originally had a county seat, and he ordered to strengthen the city wall and defend it carefully.

As Xiahoulan said, as long as the two key points on the north bank of the Fen River can be held, then Anyi and other hinterland will not be lost, as for the two counties in the north, if the situation is not good, simply relocate the people, clear the wilderness, and empty the land to Yuan Jun.

Ah, wait, I still have a mine in Hukou Mountain...... I'm afraid that I will have to break my wrist and cry blood.

Thinking of the mine, he ordered a slight detour and went to Hukou Mountain to investigate first. When he arrived at the place, Zeng Ergou greeted him respectfully, and then led Shixun to check the coal digging situation - I saw several mines in the mountains connected, and from time to time there were black, skinny, empty-eyed, and depressed laborers crawling out of the holes with bamboo baskets on their backs. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zeng Ergou again, only to see that this guy was much fairer than when he first met, and his face was also ruddy. There is even a faint bulge of a small belly forward. It is estimated that this guy also went to work in the mine himself. Zida received nearly 1,000 laborers from Shixun. Then he will completely transform into a factory owner who only works hard but does not work.

This is simply a black-hearted small coal kiln, Zeng Ergou is the boss of black-hearted coal......

After inquiry, in less than a month, Zeng Ergou's coal mine has mined nearly 70,000 catties of coal, with an average of more than 2,000 catties per day - not including the time spent digging the mine in the early stage, but the hard labor handed over to him has also died of exhaustion and illness Nearly 100 people have died, an average of three deaths a day. Shixun couldn't help but sigh secretly. Before he went to the battlefield, he was already full of bones under his feet, although it was a helpless move, but he couldn't let go of it after all. I couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so I turned my head and left in a hurry.

However, just as he occasionally found coal piles in Linfen County last time, he was about to leave, but suddenly stopped again, and found something extraordinary out of the corner of his eye. At that moment, he raised his horsewhip and pointed at it: "Who is this person?" ”

It turned out that under a big tree outside the mine, there was a worn-out straw mat. There was a young man dressed in a short coat and kneeling on a seat in a very standard posture. The laborers came with coals on their backs. I asked him to inspect it, and then he was given a bamboo chip. It's exactly this person that Hoon is referring to.

Zeng Ergou hurriedly followed and explained: "These workers have to dig out 20 baskets of coal every day, and they have collected 20 chips before they can have food......

Shi Xun impatiently accentuated his tone: "Who is this person?" Where did it come from? ”

Of course, he knew that Lu Dao was making bamboo chips by piecework, and he also understood that it was reasonable for Zeng Ergou to find someone to help manage and distribute chips. When he arrived near the mine, he saw this person who made the fund, and he didn't care about it at the time, but when he was about to leave, he occasionally caught a glimpse of the person holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, shaking his head and chanting - this is a scholar, where did Zeng Ergou find it?

Zeng Ergou replied: "This person's name is Jia Che, who is the person given by the chief, and he has only dug coal for a day, so he can't bear the hardships, and he asks me for mercy, saying that he can read and write and do arithmetic, and can plan for me." The villain saw that he was honest, and after the test, he learned from the truth, and he agreed. So far, nothing has gone wrong. ”

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and with his hands behind his back, he walked in front of Na Jia Che in three or two steps. When Jia Che saw it, he hurriedly put down the bamboo slip in his hand and got up to give a salute. Shi Xun opened his mouth and asked, "Your name is Jia Che?" ”

"Shangguan is afraid that he misheard, the villain's name is Jia Qu, the Qu of Tongqu."

Shi Xun asked bluntly: "In the past, when I went out of Pingyang and other places, in Linfen County, all the elders who knew how to read and write or had a skill were selected, and the incompetent were sent to dig for mining. Thou art literate and readable, but how did thou come here? ”

Jia Qu smiled slightly bitterly and replied, "For the sake of the brother-in-law." ”

It turned out that Zhu Yan of Linfen County was very serious about his work, and when he counted the information of the refugees, he had to test all those who claimed to be literate and hyphenated on the spot. Jia Qu's brother-in-law's name was Liu Fu, who was also a scholar, but when he was enslaved by the Huns, he was injured in the arm, and he has always been highly short-sighted—because of this, in the eyes of the Huns, he was a pure waste, so he was handed over to Shixun—and he was unable to read and write in fear. Jia Qu heard that anyone who did not have an elder could be expelled from Hedong County, so he assumed his name and helped him pass the test. In the end, Liu Fu was assigned to a certain county to serve as an official, but Jia Qu was sent to a black coal kiln.

After talking about the cause and effect, Jia Qu sighed after the end: "If you know that you want to come here and see the light of day, Yu Yuan will not dare to do this." ”

Shi Xun looked at Jia Qu and stroked his beard, and couldn't help but feel interested in this young man. It's not that Jia Qu can write and calculate - although there are not many literate people in these years, but the people in the crowd of mixed scholars are Xun, and they really don't treat ordinary readers as treasures - but that after Jia Qu saw him, although his attitude was respectful, he was never humble, he answered questions clearly, and he gave words, which was quite the style of Zhang Derong when he was in Zuo Fengyi. I don't want to have such a character in the grass, although his name is not history, but it is not to be underestimated.

"Where are you from, how do you call it, and how do you get caught in the Huns?"

Jia Qu replied: "Yu is a native of Xiangling, a prominent clan in Benyi County, and he cherishes that he is lonely and poor, so he goes to Pingyang with his brother. The Xiongnu occupied Pingyang and were unfortunately taken into slavery. Small character Liang Road. ”

"Jia Qu Jia Liang Dao?" It was Xun Luo who groaned, knowing what was going on, and couldn't help but smile, "Are you willing to enter my door?" ”

Jia Qu's name is Xun almost unimpressed, but he is from Xiangling. The word "Liang Dao". The fragments in my mind were put together. The history books once said. When this person was young, he played games with his peers, that is, he imitated the things of the army, and his grandfather Jia Xizhi said: "You must be a general." "Tens of thousands of words of his art of war have been passed down orally.

When he grew up, Jia Qu started as a small official in Hedong, and went through three generations of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rong, and the official went to Yuzhou to assassinate the history, and once defeated Sun Quan. rescued the besieged Sima Cao Xiu, and after his death, he was made a marquis. In the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", that is, Liu Fu, the assassin of Yangzhou, Sima Lang, Sima Lang, the assassin of Yangzhou, Wen Hui, Liang Xi, and Zhang Ji, the assassin of Liangzhou, and Jia Qu and other six people are combined into a biography, and they are praised as "Jingda Opportunity, Weien and Grace, so they can be swept away for thousands of miles", and they were also famous ministers on the occasion of the Han and Wei dynasties.

Of course, Jia Qu's name was not used in the history books, and this person later changed his name. It's called Jia Kui, and its eldest son. It was the first loyal dog of the Sima family - Jia Chong Jia Gonglu.

Shi Xun was secretly proud in his heart: "I recommended Liu Yuanying in the past, and Zhang Derong in Guanzhong, I don't want to get Jia Liangdao again today, isn't this providential?" ”

Shi Xun thinks that he doesn't have the spirit of a king, even if he is in the official residence and serves in the east of the river, and the real backbone of the scholar will not bow his head as soon as he hears his name, just like many unreliable time-traveling novels. However, Jia Qu was sent to the mine to be a small planner, and every day he saw that dead people would be carried out and hastily buried, he felt that his future was dark, and suddenly the light flashed, and the county Taishou actually wanted to accept himself as a guest, so is there any reason to be dissatisfied with the promise? In order to get rid of the sea of suffering, the backbone or something had to be left behind. Hurriedly bowed: "May I die for the Lord!" ”

Shixun immediately took Jia Qu on the road, and soon rejoiced that he had discovered this talent. It turned out that although Jia Qu's family was poor, Jia's family was a big family in Xiangling, and his relatives and friends were all over Hedong County, so when he was a teenager, he visited relatives and traveled everywhere, and he was very familiar with the roads in the county. Yesun toured Puzi and Beiqu two counties this time, and naturally found a guide, but most of those guides were soldiers and small officials, and they had nothing to do except know the way, not like Jia Qu, and the scenery, people, and even history and stories of various places could all say that he was ugly, making Shixun's journey never lonely.

From Hukou Mountain to the north, it will arrive at Beiqu County in a few days. The county order went out of the city to greet each other, connected to the government office, and submitted the accounting book - the county has a total of 700 households and 3,700 mouths, which is really unimaginably barren......

And the defense of Beiqu City is also very weak, just like the one who started from Xun? Hancheng has to fight, and there are less than 100 native soldiers. Such a city wall will fall down as soon as it is pushed, and such soldiers will be empty as soon as they are swept away, not to mention blocking the southward movement of the Yuan army, and even ordinary bandits of thirty or fifty people will be difficult to arrest. It was Xun Wangwang who looked at Xiahoulan and Sun Wen beside him, both of them were pale, and it seemed that this Beiqu County had to give up.

As for the common people, there is no need to move, Gao Gan really wants this big burden, so let him carry it......

After leaving Beiqu and continuing north to Puzi, it is estimated that the situation is not much better. The road they passed through was already narrow and in disrepair, and many places had to lead horses on foot, but the more this was the case, the more down-to-earth the others were - it seemed that if Bingzhou sent a large army to kill, it would be impossible to go south from there, and the troops would not be able to line up at all, and when they reached the shore of Fenshui, they did not have to resist, they themselves would be exhausted to death first.

Shixun almost didn't have the heart to move on, and then go to Puzi to suffer. That night in the wilderness, he followed his entourage to discuss, Xiahou Lan and Sun Wen both agreed, let's turn around and go back, but Jia Qu said: "It's only a two-day trip, the lord is the county guard, how can he not go to Puzi to inspect?" Shi Xun glanced at him: "Why bother me to go in person?" Why don't you let Ren Qing supervise Cao Peng and go to Puzi and his party instead? ”

Jia Qu replied respectfully: "Since the lord has an order, how dare Qu disobey it?" Qu has an old friend in Puzi County, known as a wise man, can be recruited by the lord, I don't know if the lord has any intentions? ”

Shi Xun casually asked, "Where is it from, what is your name?" ”

Jia Qu replied: "Ben Taiyuan Zhongdu is also a person, first Situ Wang Gong (Wang Yun) saw the difference, and then his brother was harmed, but he was the enemy, and the whole family avoided Hedong - the surname is Sun Mingzi, the word Yanlong. ”

Shi Xun was tired from walking, he was originally lying on the ground, leaning on a big tree, relaxing his legs and feet, listening to Jia Qu's words, he couldn't help but straighten his waist: "Sun Yanlong? I should visit it personally! (To be continued......)

PS: Today...... Well, it's midnight, anyway, two watches are over.
